- 0:25Speaker 1: as Twitter. If that matters to you, amen, and we're
- 0:29Speaker 1: going forward. Man. Today we're gonna talk about masked masks.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Halloween season that's already among us,
- 0:39Speaker 1: not even October, and TV networks and programs, stores, homes
- 0:45Speaker 1: are being decorated, getting ready for this what I deemed
- 0:50Speaker 1: to be a wicked holiday season. But you know that's
- 0:54Speaker 1: here or there. I'm not talking about that today. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: it reminded me of the mask the mass it's going
- 1:00Speaker 1: to be being put on very shortly. But it's also
- 1:04Speaker 1: that's a physical mass. There's also a spiritual mass that
- 1:08Speaker 1: people put on and it's called hypocrisy. Amen. And hypocrisy
- 1:13Speaker 1: is something that's on God's hateless. God hates hypocrites, hypocrisy, Amen,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I take that back. God hates hypocrisy, not hypocrites, because
- 1:24Speaker 1: hypocrites is a person. Hypocrisy is an action. Hypocrisy is
- 1:28Speaker 1: something that God hates. Hypocrisy pretending to love outwardly while
- 1:36Speaker 1: harboring bitterness inwardly. That's what God hates. Proverbs, chapter twenty
- 1:41Speaker 1: six and verse twenty four. Ay Mass, sister Joyne, I
- 1:43Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
- 1:45Speaker 1: the morning. Demot my system, my friend, a man. My
- 1:48Speaker 1: voice is a little strange because I'm finding a cold.
- 1:51Speaker 1: But God hates hypocrisy pretending to love outwardly while harboring
- 1:57Speaker 1: bitterness inwardly. Right, that's ouch. That's an ouch for a
- 2:01Speaker 1: morning devo. A lot of people don't want to hear
- 2:03Speaker 1: that so early in the morning, but it's with the
- 2:06Speaker 1: word of guys, is gonna show us in the Proverbs. Amen,
- 2:11Speaker 1: do you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Please don't hesitate to leave another live chat. That's what
- 2:17Speaker 1: we're here for. Amen, Go ahead them put something in
- 2:22Speaker 1: the chat like where you're from, why you're listening, where

- 2:39Speaker 1: whole family as well. Blessing to you, my friend and
- 2:43Speaker 1: my bro. So where are we We're gonna pray. First.
- 2:47Speaker 1: After we pray, we shared us out for like sixty seconds,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and then on the other side of those sixty seconds
- 2:51Speaker 1: we'll come back and we'll get right into today's morning. Devo.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I'm calling this my mask masked, putting on the mask.
- 2:59Speaker 1: We shouldn't be putting on no masks. As believers. We
- 3:02Speaker 1: should be putting on the righteous robe. But the Lord
- 3:04Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, we should be putting on the full armor
- 3:07Speaker 1: of God. We should be doing all of what God
- 3:11Speaker 1: calls us to do, according to his word, according to
- 3:13Speaker 1: his spirit. Amen. So let's pray. After we pray, we
- 3:17Speaker 1: shut us out for the sixty seconds. Father, in the
- 3:19Speaker 1: name of Jesus, I thank you for the opportunity that
- 3:22Speaker 1: you have given us today to get into your word
- 3:25Speaker 1: first part of the day, whether people are watching this
- 3:29Speaker 1: live or listening to this life or later on, I
- 3:32Speaker 1: pray the Holy Spirit that you will move regardless of
- 3:35Speaker 1: what time that you will move in the lives of
- 3:37Speaker 1: all the viewers and listeners right now in the powerful
- 3:40Speaker 1: name of Jesus, that we love God will realize that
- 3:43Speaker 1: we don't have to put on a mask, and we
- 3:45Speaker 1: don't have to try to fit into places where we
- 3:47Speaker 1: don't fit in. We are in this world according to
- 3:50Speaker 1: your word, but we're not of this world. We are
- 3:53Speaker 1: from the kingdom that you have set apart for your people,
- 3:58Speaker 1: for your children. I pray Lord God a hedge of protection.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So much is going on, so many threats, so many
- 4:05Speaker 1: things in the world that are coming against us. But
- 4:07Speaker 1: we know that you said in the last days, evil
- 4:11Speaker 1: will seem like it's winning. Father God, we know that
- 4:14Speaker 1: you win and good will triumph over evil ultimately. So
- 4:20Speaker 1: I thank you for the hedge of protection guiding and
- 4:22Speaker 1: guarding us. I pray Lord God, that we will be
- 4:24Speaker 1: in your will now outside of your will, that we
- 4:27Speaker 1: will be bold and courageous to go ahead and preach
- 4:30Speaker 1: the Gospel everywhere we go, verbally, using words, using kindness, love, grace, mercy,
- 4:38Speaker 1: everything that you have equipped the saints to go do
- 4:40Speaker 1: the works in the ministry with allow us low God
- 4:44Speaker 1: and teach us and show us and give us the
- 4:45Speaker 1: boldness to go ahead and do that. So I pray,
- 4:48Speaker 1: Lord God, that we will not be those that are
- 4:50Speaker 1: on your hate list, that we will not be hypocrit
- 4:52Speaker 1: but we will be true spirit filled, filled with fire
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the Holy Ghost, believers, children, God, royal priesthood, and
- 5:01Speaker 1: we will move forward united and accordingly according to Your
- 5:06Speaker 1: word and Jesus Holy Name. We prayed this by faith,
- 5:08Speaker 1: and those who agree with this prayer we say amen
- 5:11Speaker 1: to the amen. So let's go for it. Help me
- 5:14Speaker 1: share this our sixty seconds. Then we will get back.
- 5:16Speaker 1: We'll get right into Proverbs, chapter number twenty six, verse
- 5:20Speaker 1: number twenty four. I'll be right back. H h you
- 6:39Speaker 1: man with back, We back. Sorry I had the music
- 6:42Speaker 1: playing stiff, but listen, Let's go for it, man, Let's
- 6:48Speaker 1: let's go for it. Let's see what the Word has
- 6:50Speaker 1: for us today. Because I think there's a lot of
- 6:52Speaker 1: people who are being misled by social media information, by
- 6:57Speaker 1: proper gander, by just things that are not true. And
- 7:02Speaker 1: because we are following after those popular things, those popular
- 7:07Speaker 1: belief systems or news that's being put out there, the
- 7:13Speaker 1: character bashing and all this other stuff. We need the work,
- 7:16Speaker 1: we need the Word to solidify what's true, what's not true,
- 7:20Speaker 1: what's right, what's not right. We need to have Holy
- 7:25Speaker 1: Spirit engaging in our hearts and minds. Thank you Team
- 7:28Speaker 1: Jesus for allowing me to share this out to your group.
- 7:31Speaker 1: And we need to know what to do moving forward.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Right there's a lot of tension right now going ony, man,
- 7:39Speaker 1: and it's only going to get worse. I know that
- 7:41Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like good news, but according to the
- 7:44Speaker 1: scriptures and the prophetic timeline of the scriptures, this world
- 7:49Speaker 1: is going to get worse. Hearts, the men are going
- 7:51Speaker 1: to wax cold, and people are gonna have itching ears.
- 7:55Speaker 1: They're not going to want to hear sound doctrine anymore.
- 7:57Speaker 1: They don't want to hear what they want to hear.
- 7:59Speaker 1: That feels up there flesh tank, and that encourages them
- 8:04Speaker 1: to do what they want to do, regardless of what
- 8:06Speaker 1: God wants them to do. So we have to be
- 8:09Speaker 1: careful and mindful of that. And man, that's why I
- 8:12Speaker 1: listen to what people are saying. I respect people's thoughts
- 8:16Speaker 1: and ideas. I just thought, I don't have to subscribe
- 8:19Speaker 1: to everything. Love doesn't mean you accept all sin. Love
- 8:22Speaker 1: means that the sinner that's in funn of you, the
- 8:24Speaker 1: sinner that's in the mirror. Amen, is forgiven, and we
- 8:28Speaker 1: know how to forgive because God forgave us. I feel
- 8:31Speaker 1: not myself. I feel really depressed. So we're gonna come
- 8:34Speaker 1: against that depression, sister Joan, and we're gonna exchange that. Remember,
- 8:39Speaker 1: we've been talking about exchange. Exchange that depression with the
- 8:43Speaker 1: joy of the Lord. Amen. And if you want, go
- 8:46Speaker 1: back to one of the podcasts. I believe it's exchange.
- 8:53Speaker 1: It's called exchange. I can't get the title right now,
- 8:58Speaker 1: but it's in the podcast list. It's in the past,
- 9:01Speaker 1: maybe last week or the week before. And go ahead
- 9:04Speaker 1: and I'll send you the exchanges depression. We have to
- 9:09Speaker 1: be careful with that because it's one of those type
- 9:12Speaker 1: of emotions that if we're not careful, it will cause
- 9:16Speaker 1: us to do things that God forbid. He doesn't want
- 9:21Speaker 1: us to go into a deep depression. He wants us
- 9:24Speaker 1: to be learning how to exchange those things for the
- 9:27Speaker 1: joy of the Lord. Amen, Joy of the Lord. So
- 9:31Speaker 1: I'll dm you that afterwards. Amen, when I find it. Amen,
- 9:35Speaker 1: not only are we believers but overcomers, Yes, John, the overcomers,
- 9:41Speaker 1: the Lord, the God of the scriptures, the Lord of hosts,
- 9:45Speaker 1: the Lord Almighty calls us overcomers. So we are exactly
- 9:50Speaker 1: it's been up insane for years. I'm not going to
- 9:54Speaker 1: repeat what the world says about me and my family.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I'm only going to repeat what the words say is
- 10:00Speaker 1: about me and my family. We're more than overcomers. We're
- 10:05Speaker 1: more than We're more than the world says we are. Amen.
- 10:11Speaker 1: So we're more than conquerors. The Christ Jesus, the Lord
- 10:15Speaker 1: which gives us the strength. So we have what we
- 10:18Speaker 1: need because we have who's we have who we need, Amen,
- 10:23Speaker 1: and that is the Lord Jesus. So thank you, brother John,
- 10:26Speaker 1: thank you joining for your comments. Let's get into this word.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Let's see what God has for us today. Amen, masks
- 10:34Speaker 1: towards I put an image of someone with a mask on.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It looked kind of eerie to me, Amen, But that's
- 10:41Speaker 1: what I was drawn to when I was putting this together.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Proverbs twenty six and twenty four. I see you, brother,
- 10:49Speaker 1: see on God bless you, blessing to you. My brother,
- 10:51Speaker 1: is good to see you on the morning. Debo. I'm
- 10:53Speaker 1: brow with my friend. And if you guys are are
- 10:56Speaker 1: following Seon White and his wife. You gotta follow them.
- 11:01Speaker 1: They have tremendous amount of knowledge and wisdom and understanding.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Testimonial style preaching, Yeah, we have kindred spirit man, so
- 11:09Speaker 1: go ahead and go ahead and follow him and the
- 11:12Speaker 1: ministry gab, give a blessing, Get a blessing. Amen. Oh
- 11:18Speaker 1: get yeah, I hope I said it right, God, bless
- 11:20Speaker 1: you bro Proverbs twenty six and twenty four Bible says,
- 11:26Speaker 1: he who hates listen to this disguises that's a mask,
- 11:31Speaker 1: disguises it with his lips, but he stores up the
- 11:36Speaker 1: seat in his heart. So people externally are saying, smiling
- 11:40Speaker 1: in your face, right if they's good, but they really
- 11:43Speaker 1: hate you and they hate me. They're disguising even what
- 11:49Speaker 1: they say out of their mouth. Right Wait, like, oh
- 11:55Speaker 1: you know we like what you're doing. Oh we hope
- 11:58Speaker 1: everything works out. So you know, that's what they say,
- 12:01Speaker 1: that's coming out of mouth, that's what's disguising with their lips.
- 12:06Speaker 1: But the Word of God says they're storing up deceit
- 12:09Speaker 1: in their heart. So it's like they're masking things, hiding things,
- 12:16Speaker 1: hiding their hearts. Intention So of course we only could
- 12:19Speaker 1: hear what people are saying, we don't know what the
- 12:21Speaker 1: intention of the heart is. But with God's discernment by
- 12:25Speaker 1: way of his Holy Spirit, we could even get there.
- 12:27Speaker 1: We could even know. Wait a minute, something ain't right.
- 12:30Speaker 1: It seems like what people say to us, right, it's
- 12:33Speaker 1: not matching up with what they're doing or how they
- 12:37Speaker 1: really feel, or sometimes it shows up in their facial expression.
- 12:41Speaker 1: That's why it's important. If you have an important meeting
- 12:44Speaker 1: with someone, try to get them on video if they're
- 12:46Speaker 1: from another country or another state, or try to be
- 12:49Speaker 1: face to face if they're locally so that way you
- 12:51Speaker 1: can see the face. There's a lot of facial expression, right,
- 12:58Speaker 1: and movement really can show you some things other than
- 13:05Speaker 1: what people say. And this is where we're at. I mean,
- 13:10Speaker 1: have you ever been betrayed? Have you ever been lied to?
- 13:13Speaker 1: Have you ever been slandered? Have you ever been mistreated?
- 13:19Speaker 1: Have you ever been spoken of badly? Or spoken down?
- 13:24Speaker 1: Some people have meetings, right, and they want to meet
- 13:27Speaker 1: with you, and then they start speaking down to you.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Instead of speaking to you, they speak down to you. Right.
- 13:33Speaker 1: We have to be ready for that because the Bible
- 13:35Speaker 1: is clear that there's people out there like that. The
- 13:39Speaker 1: Bible is clear that they have de seit in their heart.
- 13:41Speaker 1: The Bible is clear that they're masking what they're saying.
- 13:45Speaker 1: It might be something flowery or nice, where their heart
- 13:48Speaker 1: is holding anger. There's the other translation that says, see,
- 13:54Speaker 1: if I get it, God hates the part, right, So
- 14:01Speaker 1: whoever it hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors
- 14:05Speaker 1: the seat in his heart. Like holding that in the
- 14:09Speaker 1: heart is a silent killer. Right. When you have hatred
- 14:14Speaker 1: for your brother's sister in Christ, when you have hatred
- 14:17Speaker 1: against people in general, right, that's like a silent killer.
- 14:21Speaker 1: It's like killing your spirit. It's like spiritual cancer. Envy, pride, hate, right,
- 14:28Speaker 1: lust and all that stuff could damage you and damage
- 14:31Speaker 1: me as well. So in order for us to get
- 14:34Speaker 1: passed or through those things, Amen, in a righteous way,
- 14:39Speaker 1: we need to be in the Word. We need to
- 14:41Speaker 1: be in the spirit. We need to be satisfying our
- 14:44Speaker 1: spirit more than we satisfy the flesh. Amen. We need
- 14:48Speaker 1: to be in the word, not out of the word.
- 14:51Speaker 1: We need to be in God's will, not out of
- 14:53Speaker 1: God's will. And by the way, God's word is his
- 14:56Speaker 1: will for you and me. Amen, brother, eyeven I see
- 14:59Speaker 1: you bless my brother's good to see you on the morning. Devo, God,
- 15:03Speaker 1: bless you. So there's a lot going on, man, and
- 15:08Speaker 1: God keeps on drawing me to these things. And I
- 15:13Speaker 1: always knew that God had to hate something. I know
- 15:16Speaker 1: God is loved, but I know he has to come
- 15:18Speaker 1: against things because he's a righteous God. So God is
- 15:21Speaker 1: a holy God, a just God, a righteous God, just
- 15:25Speaker 1: and righteousness. Amen. He's a merciful God, a graceful God,
- 15:29Speaker 1: holy God. He's all of that. And I know because
- 15:33Speaker 1: there's sin in the world that he had to address
- 15:38Speaker 1: that sin, because he's a holy God. There's no way
- 15:41Speaker 1: that God could live in sin or allow sin to
- 15:46Speaker 1: flourish over the purpose of his creation. Right, So when
- 15:54Speaker 1: Jesus comes back, the Bible says that he's coming with
- 15:56Speaker 1: a new heaven and a new Earth. Therefore, you want
- 16:01Speaker 1: to think about this biblically, of this place, it's pretty
- 16:06Speaker 1: much wrapped up. That's why our battles not with flesh
- 16:10Speaker 1: and blood, a battles not with like people. I'm gonna
- 16:13Speaker 1: go and get my ratchet and go and shoot Xyz
- 16:16Speaker 1: because they disrespected me. That's the way the world handles things.
- 16:20Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom people. We say, well,
- 16:24Speaker 1: we know this is not a battle or a war
- 16:27Speaker 1: between flesh and blood, is between spiritual principalities and high places.
- 16:32Speaker 1: And because of God in us holy Spirit, we could
- 16:35Speaker 1: call down those strongholds and keep them under the obedience
- 16:39Speaker 1: of the Word of God. But the iven says, the
- 16:42Speaker 1: word of God is God's will. A'man to that. Yes,
- 16:46Speaker 1: the Word is his will. The Word of God is
- 16:49Speaker 1: God's will. Yes. Yes, So hatred that masks itself right,
- 16:58Speaker 1: it's hidden malice or fake love that's condemned in the scripture.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Fake loved come in different ways. So I'm a real like,
- 17:11Speaker 1: I don't like to hurt people. I don't know. If
- 17:14Speaker 1: you know me, you know that I'm trying to be
- 17:17Speaker 1: as kind as I can to everyone I meet because
- 17:21Speaker 1: I know how it feels to be on the other
- 17:22Speaker 1: side of hatred. I don't want to be the hater
- 17:26Speaker 1: because I know what being hated on feels like. I
- 17:29Speaker 1: don't want to put that out there. But fake love, bro,
- 17:35Speaker 1: that's like, that's horrible because you're going around right say hey,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I love you. Love is an expression. Love is an
- 17:46Speaker 1: action you take action. There's no greater love in this
- 17:50Speaker 1: the Bible says, than to lay down your life for
- 17:52Speaker 1: a friend always remind me that scripture always reminds me
- 17:56Speaker 1: of the Lord laying down his life for us. And
- 18:00Speaker 1: the Bible says, even while we were haters of God,
- 18:04Speaker 1: he still died for us a greater love. God is love, Amen,
- 18:12Speaker 1: and he's a real love shows us real love. God
- 18:16Speaker 1: demonstrated his own love, his own real love in this right,
- 18:22Speaker 1: laying down his life for us, next level type of love.
- 18:26Speaker 1: But fake love is condemned, all right. If you want
- 18:31Speaker 1: to go around saying you Christians are always condemning people, well,
- 18:34Speaker 1: fake love is condemned rejecting the gospel of the Lord
- 18:39Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. The Bible says, you're condemned already by doing that.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Did Jesus come down to earth to condemn everybody in
- 18:47Speaker 1: the world? Did Jesus come down to earth to condemn
- 18:51Speaker 1: the world? John three sixteen, Read it real close John
- 18:57Speaker 1: three sixteen to around eighteen or nineteen, right, And the
- 19:00Speaker 1: Bible literally says, literally says, Jesus did not come to
- 19:04Speaker 1: contemn the world, but to give, to save the world,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and to give the promise of eternal life. I'm paraphrasing,
- 19:11Speaker 1: Ivan says, the Bible tells us also that because of
- 19:15Speaker 1: the wickedness of man, the love of man will grow cold. Yeah.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I kind of like alluded to that earlier. Yeah, the
- 19:22Speaker 1: wax cold by because of the wickedness of man. Now
- 19:28Speaker 1: in our former identification and our formal way of living.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Right for the Ivan, we used to be those wicked people.
- 19:37Speaker 1: We used to be that wicked man. But because of
- 19:40Speaker 1: the grace of God, the salvation of God, the wisdom
- 19:43Speaker 1: of God, the mercy of God, the love of God
- 19:46Speaker 1: a man, the power of God, the authority of his word,
- 19:50Speaker 1: we exchange wickedness with righteousness. That's why we have to
- 19:54Speaker 1: learn how to do these exchanges. My sister Joanne said
- 19:59Speaker 1: earlier she's battling with depression, so she's gonna learn she
- 20:04Speaker 1: hasn't done it already. Exchange that depressing with the joy
- 20:06Speaker 1: of the Lord. Amen. We're fighting the good fight of
- 20:10Speaker 1: faith here, and we're not all alone when a brother
- 20:14Speaker 1: or sister is down. Amen. Or we're coming to the rescue,
- 20:17Speaker 1: no man, no woman left behind. There's a kingdom that
- 20:21Speaker 1: we're in, a kingdom that we're a part of a
- 20:23Speaker 1: kingdom that we are reigning and ruling in under the king. Amen.
- 20:30Speaker 1: So again, God hates hypocrisy. Don't act the don't act
- 20:35Speaker 1: the part of a believer. Be a believer. Don't just
- 20:38Speaker 1: be a church goer. Be a part of the Body
- 20:41Speaker 1: of Christ. Amen. And it's so showing and telling right,
- 20:47Speaker 1: who's who When you make decisions in life, maybe to
- 20:53Speaker 1: leave a fellowship or leave a church, you could figure
- 20:56Speaker 1: out right away who are church people, right and who
- 21:00Speaker 1: are your brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Church people know how to do church. They do it
- 21:05Speaker 1: an excellent way. It actually is useful to attract people
- 21:11Speaker 1: to a building. Amen, Praise God. But the Body of Christ,
- 21:15Speaker 1: we're out there in the streets and the highways, byways
- 21:18Speaker 1: and a family preaching the gospel of wherever we go.
- 21:22Speaker 1: And Man, it's more than just inviting people to a building.
- 21:25Speaker 1: It's about bringing the Bible, the scriptures, the Gospel to
- 21:31Speaker 1: the people outside of the buildings. Because a lot of
- 21:33Speaker 1: people that I come across, at least in my experience
- 21:36Speaker 1: of witnessing and evangelism, they don't want no parts of church.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And of this is my experience, ninety percent of the
- 21:45Speaker 1: people I've met and witnessed to they were from church,
- 21:48Speaker 1: or I grew up in church, or my uncle and
- 21:50Speaker 1: my aunt, my grandmother and my mom, their pastors and
- 21:53Speaker 1: their evangelists, and somehow along the way they would hurt
- 21:58Speaker 1: or they sought things that threw them off. That's why
- 22:01Speaker 1: we can't have fake love for anyone because they'll start noticing. Said,
- 22:05Speaker 1: wait a minute, Sam says he loved me, but it
- 22:07Speaker 1: looks like he's hating on me over here. Man, we
- 22:10Speaker 1: shouldn't be part of that fake love. We should be
- 22:13Speaker 1: part of the real love of God. But the Frank,
- 22:16Speaker 1: I see you, good morning. The enemy loves when you
- 22:19Speaker 1: keep hating, because that's one of his favorite words to
- 22:23Speaker 1: destroy people's mind. Yes, exactly, thank you, brother Frank. He
- 22:29Speaker 1: doesn't like when we love one another. He doesn't like
- 22:34Speaker 1: when when unified. The devil was a hater by nature.
- 22:39Speaker 1: He didn't have to be that way though, according to
- 22:41Speaker 1: the scriptures, he was a beautiful right was he a cherub?
- 22:48Speaker 1: He was a beautiful angelic host right, and he saw
- 22:54Speaker 1: the glory of God. He saw the worship of the Lord.
- 22:57Speaker 1: And because God is love, listen to this. God is
- 22:59Speaker 1: love because people always like, well, if God knew that
- 23:03Speaker 1: this angel is churbed. Lucifer was going to turn into
- 23:06Speaker 1: a bad guy while we allow in heaven. Well, love
- 23:09Speaker 1: allows you and I to make choices. It's not a
- 23:13Speaker 1: forced thing. No one forces you to love God, no
- 23:16Speaker 1: one forces you to believe in Jesus. No, it's the
- 23:19Speaker 1: love of God, the kindness of God that joins men
- 23:21Speaker 1: and woman to repentance, to know that wait a minute,
- 23:24Speaker 1: he's God, and he's right and I'm wrong. He's the
- 23:27Speaker 1: true Love and I was following fake love and masking around. Right,
- 23:32Speaker 1: But the John says, we are spreading the good news
- 23:35Speaker 1: to the masses. Yes, right to the masses. Always have
- 23:40Speaker 1: that in mind that when you're celebrating, worshiping Amen, having
- 23:47Speaker 1: service in the church building, that's an amazing thing. Is
- 23:50Speaker 1: recharging us, giving us up and equipping us to go
- 23:54Speaker 1: ahead and do the works in the ministry outside, because
- 23:57Speaker 1: outside is where the action is right, this action in
- 24:00Speaker 1: the church. And sometimes God brings people who are hurt,
- 24:02Speaker 1: broken and lost into the church building, of course, for
- 24:07Speaker 1: us to show them true love, not fake love, for
- 24:10Speaker 1: us to show them true friendship, to really be listening
- 24:15Speaker 1: to what they're saying. But sometimes in a church service
- 24:19Speaker 1: or a church environment. We can't get that personal. That's
- 24:23Speaker 1: why we could break out in groups. That's why we
- 24:26Speaker 1: get people's phone numbers. That's why we let leaders know. Amen,
- 24:29Speaker 1: that X YC. This person, that person, That person doesn't
- 24:33Speaker 1: know the Lord. So let's God had to reach out
- 24:34Speaker 1: to them in their own situation, in their own environment,
- 24:38Speaker 1: and they will be shot, but they will be also
- 24:41Speaker 1: kind of impressed that you actually left your controlled atmosphere
- 24:46Speaker 1: right of the church building and you left outside of
- 24:49Speaker 1: that and you saw them or reached out to them
- 24:51Speaker 1: in their own situation where they're at. That's an amazing
- 24:55Speaker 1: act of love. And it's not anything that's masked. It's
- 24:58Speaker 1: not anything that's slanderous, not anything that's fake. It's not
- 25:01Speaker 1: anything that's hypocritical. It's everything that's holy, righteous and loving. Amen.
- 25:06Speaker 1: That's where we should be and what we should be doing.
- 25:09Speaker 1: God is love, and he loves and who loves it
- 25:14Speaker 1: has God. Yeah, he who loves has God. Yes, thank
- 25:17Speaker 1: you brother. I even listen, I'm out of time. I'm
- 25:20Speaker 1: actually overtime. My bad. Hey man, I get excited when
- 25:23Speaker 1: I get into these morning DeVos, but listen, I'm out
- 25:26Speaker 1: of time. Read Proverbs, chapter number twenty six, verse twenty
- 25:31Speaker 1: four again and then read the whole chapter so you
- 25:33Speaker 1: can get this the full context of it all. So
- 25:36Speaker 1: I'm out of time. God bless you all. Thank you
- 25:38Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with me for these morning devots.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Got to keep you all and remember always that God
- 25:43Speaker 1: is good. Peace,
