I bless your family, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning.
0:05
DEVO is your bro. Sam Lopez AKAA DJ Sam Rock. SO Winners with
0:09
a z dot org sell our radio network SO Winners live that SO win is
0:14
with a z dot org. Also for SO Winners as well on the online
0:17
church that we have online Bibber Study, online ministry that we have in the
0:21
medium ministry that we have right here as well. So listen, man,
0:25
God bless you. This is a new week, a start of a new
0:27
week. So I hope and pray that you are being joyful and being glad
0:33
that God has woken you up. I'm glad that God woke me up.
0:36
I was a little little dizzy and nauseous when I got up, and I
0:39
was like, Lord, whatever it takes Amen to get me stable, can
0:45
you please do it? And he seems to be stabilizing my body now as
0:49
I'm a little I'm a little dizzy for whatever reason. Amen, But we're
0:53
here. Amen. I hope you're feeling well. I hope you are enjoying
0:57
this part of the day, which is the first part of my day.
1:00
Amen. From whatever time you're listening or watching to this, this is live
1:04
right now while I'm recording this, it's live, and it's really five point
1:10
thirty in the morning AM Eastern Standard time. Amen. And if you know
1:15
me, I am no way near an early bird. This is supernatural right
1:19
now. I'm not an early bird, normally a night owl. But I
1:23
trained myself and I'm disciplining myself to be up in the morning. Amen.
1:29
So that means I have to change some things up in my night routine.
1:33
Amen. And to get to this place of being up early this morning.
1:38
Today, we're talking about some training, Amen, Rise and shine, and
1:42
we're talking about training, training from trials, not training for trials, training
1:49
from trials. Amen. And the Lord has me on this for his reason.
1:53
Amen. I don't make these morning DeVos up. I literally listen to
1:59
the whole spirit. And I asked him, what do you want me to
2:02
talk about? And what are you speaking to me about? And I'm just
2:05
allowing you to ease drop to hear when I'm where God is speaking to me.
2:09
Amen. And because it's the word, I'm a publicly speaker. Amen.
2:15
Hebrews Chapter twelve, verse eleven. Training from trials, Amen, on
2:21
today's morning devo, And what is that all about? I'm glad you asked,
2:27
how has God used the trials to train you? How has God used
2:31
trials to train you? You ever thought about it, you'd be like,
2:36
why am I going through all of this? There has to be a reason.
2:38
That has to be a purpose. There has to be a plan,
2:42
there has to be an end result. If you don't believe in God,
2:45
you're like, oh, this is just normal. I'm like, no,
2:47
that's not normal. Trials troubles the promise that Jesus promised us in this world,
2:53
Yeah, he knew it was going to be tough. Every day was
2:58
going to be flowers and roses presented to us. But he also knows that
3:04
in Him, if we go to Him, we have peace. In Christ.
3:07
In this world we're going to have trials, tribulations, simplation. Everything
3:13
outside of Christ is going to try to take us out of here. But
3:15
in Christ we have total peace. So how has God used trials to train
3:21
you? Hebrews Chapter twelve, verse number eleven. If you have any questions,
3:24
which you should have, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
3:28
don't hesitate to leave it on the live chat. Also, if you're listening
3:31
from Soul Winners with a Zea Orgida's a contact page. There is a contact
3:35
page there and you could connect with me there as well. And also the
3:38
lave streams should be streaming from the law stream page on the website as well.
3:45
So let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share us out for
3:46
like sixty seconds, and when we come back on the other side of the
3:51
sixty seconds, we'll get right into training from trials. On the Morning Devo
3:54
Hebrews chapter number twelve, verse eleven. I'm gonna hit you with some more
3:59
of Hebrews Chapter twelve, but we get the key in on verse number eleven.
4:02
So Father, I thank you for this opportunity, for this moment,
4:06
for this time that we have together, Amen, as brothers and sisters and
4:11
the Lord. And for those who are seeking God who have come across this
4:15
morning devotion or have come across this Bible study. Amen, I pray for
4:19
them as well, that you will inspire them, that you will draw them
4:23
to yourself and that holy Spirit you will move upon the lives of every single
4:27
individual that's listening and watching, no matter what time they're listening, no matter
4:31
what time they're watching, whether it's live or not. I pray supernatural and
4:34
increase over their lives. I prayed a piece of God over their lives.
4:38
I prayed the power of your Holy Spirit to renew them, restore them,
4:41
redeem them, and give them the born again experience. If they're seeking truthflow
4:46
God, I know they will meet up with you, because you are the
4:48
Truth, and you are the Way, and you are the life. No
4:51
one comes to the Father except through you. I pray a head of protection
4:56
over them, myself, my family, my whole entire blood line. I
4:59
pray Lord, got over our marriage, over our children, over every single
5:01
person that's connected to us. I pray peace, be still and know that
5:05
you are God, and that you are Lord, and that you are training
5:09
us from the trials, and you're showing us how to live this life out
5:13
according to your purpose and plan for our lives and for everyone's lives. That
5:17
our need an inspira inspired word from you today. We Lord God know,
5:23
I know, Lo God, that You're going to speak to us today,
5:26
this morning, right now, in Jesus name. I prayed this by faith
5:29
with thanksgiving, knowing that You're able to hear these prayers and you are able
5:32
to respond according to your purpose and plan. Individually for all of us in
5:38
Jesus name. Amen and Amen. So let's go forward. Help me share
5:42
this out Orlando, God bless you, bro, Good morning, God bless
5:45
you. Welcome back to the morning Devils. Good to see my friend and
5:46
my brother. Let's take sixty seconds. Help me share this out on the
5:50
YouTube page. Help me share this out Facebook, everywhere the streaming. Amen
5:56
to as many people as come to your mind. We have sixty seconds to
5:58
do it. I like to keep this shit short so that we could get
6:00
right into the morning Devol. I'll be right back. Hey, man,
7:28
we're back. We're back. Let's go for it. Let's see what the
7:30
Lord has for us today as we are training from trials. If I would
7:34
tell you that your troubles were for no reason, you'd be like, man,
7:38
that's horrible, Because I'm going through this for no apparent reason. It's
7:42
like, horrible, Why would God allow me to go through this if it's
7:46
not a purpose behind it? And man, that would be horrible for those
7:49
who don't have Christ in their life. It is horrible for those who do
7:53
have Christ in our lives. It's still painful, it's still troubling, right,
7:58
but in the meantime, we know we're going to learn something from this
8:01
trial because we know we're going to get through the trial. Sometimes God won't
8:05
just help us escape every problem that we have. Amen. And God will
8:09
discipline us because he loves us. Amen. I know it's hard sometimes to
8:15
understand why our father doesn't always step in to rescue us. Right. How
8:20
why does God just still take this pain away, or take the sickness away,
8:24
or take this disease away, or take this trial away. Well,
8:28
I believe it's because he's training us sometimes from these trials, Amen. And
8:31
he's showing us his goodness, his faithfulness. He's showing us that he's not
8:37
leaving us and abandoning us in a situation, that he is present in our
8:39
situation, that he's there Jehovah Shama. He's there, a God who is
8:43
there on your situation, in my situation. Amen. Good morning, sister
8:48
Joanne. Welcome back to the morning dev with my system and my friend.
8:50
So listen, I'm gonna learn this as we go, Amen, Because I
8:56
know that every day is not a good day in terms of you know,
8:58
my life. Every day is not a good day. Every day is not
9:03
a perfect day. But His will is perfect, Amen, His will is
9:07
perfect, So we are living sacrifices unto the Lord who has a perfect will
9:11
for you and a perfect will for me. Individually and corporately together is better,
9:15
right Hebrews, shop the twelve, verse number eleven. Let me put
9:18
this on the screen for those who are watching, for those who are just
9:20
listening, Amen, welcome back. And it's good to see and know that
9:24
there's a lot of people tuning in. A man live for these morning DeVos.
9:30
So God bless you for that. So let's go for it. Training
9:33
from trials Hebrews, chapter number twelve, verse number eleven. That's keen on
9:37
that verse, but I'm gonna read more of this scripture. Okay, for
9:41
the time being, No discipline brings joy, see the Bible's honest. No
9:48
discipline brings joy but seems sad and painful. Yet to those who have been
9:54
trained by it afterwards, it yields the peace fruit of righteousness, right standing
10:03
with God, and a lifestyle and an attitude that seeks conformity to God's will
10:09
and purpose. So it's not during right the discipline is not during the trial,
10:18
not during the trouble that we get this joy. But to those who
10:24
have been trained by it. Afterwards, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness,
10:33
right standing with God, and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to
10:39
God's will and purpose. So I know from experience that when I'm going through
10:46
trials, man, I know it's not easy, and I know it hurts,
10:50
it's painful, sometimes it's sad. Sometimes I feel all alone. But
10:56
in God, I'm like, wait a minute, this is God doesn't waste
11:00
my time, he doesn't waste anybody's time. That has to be a purpose
11:03
here. There has to be something that's gonna come out of this. I'm
11:07
going to have peace after this, the fruit of righteousness after this, because
11:11
afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness, righteousness. We got to understand
11:20
that God is a righteous God, a holy God, a loving God.
11:22
He's got a peace, he's a got of warriors, got of love,
11:24
he's got a mercy, he's got of forgiveness a man, he's a got
11:28
of all of that. But in the meantime, since he loves us so
11:31
much, he's not gonna leave us in a place where every time we ask
11:35
for something from him, he just go, okay, I got you,
11:37
Okay, I got you, Okay, I got you. He's not going
11:39
to remove all the trials and all the pain. There's been studies on parents
11:45
that it says that if you shelter your kids so much and you solve every
11:50
problem for them, and you don't let them experience their own problem, you
11:54
don't let them learn from their trial, you'll let you're not training them.
11:58
You're actually setting them up for failure because when and they go into the real
12:01
world outside of your shelter in the real world. And this happens that churches
12:05
too, with church kids, they're being sheltered so much that when they go
12:09
out to the real world. Parents that are raising children sheltering them, when
12:13
they go out to the real world, they get all beat up, and
12:16
sometimes they fall, and sometimes they get into all kinds of sex, drugs,
12:20
alcohol, because we were sheltering them so much, and we're doing it
12:24
because we love them. But God loves us even more, and God loves
12:28
our children even more than we love our children, and he wants us to
12:33
discipline them, just as our father in heaven disciplines us. Why because he
12:37
loves us, He wants us to know better. So it's sometimes difficult for
12:41
us to understand why our father doesn't always step in to rescue us. We
12:46
wonder why he allows the pain and the suffering in our lives. You've been
12:50
there before. We wish for a life of comfort, a life of ease,
12:54
But God knows that isn't that isn't what is best for us. Listen
13:00
closely. Like the training of an athlete, trials stretch us and strengthen us.
13:07
Like the discipline of children. Trials help us to grow and mature.
13:11
See that He doesn't want to leave us like children spoil children at that that
13:16
every time we ask for something fain, he takes us out of it,
13:18
because I don't think that'll work out from my personality. If every time I
13:22
ask God to take this away, take that away, take this pain away,
13:26
take me out of this trouble, take me out this try, he
13:28
does it all the time. I'm gonna walk around thinking I'm better than somebody
13:31
because God listens to me, doesn't listen to you. So he humbles me.
13:35
Amen by showing me. Listen, We're gonna go through this be of
13:39
a good cheer. I've overcome this world. I'm with you, Amen,
13:45
don't give up. This trial's gonna teach you something. I'm learning from him.
13:48
I hold on to him, I hold on to his promise. Amen,
13:52
the author of Hebrew is right. In the moment. This workout or
13:56
this discipline isn't pleasant. It's not like Oh, man, great man,
14:01
wake up, I have trials. I'm looking forward. Amen to this sickness,
14:07
to this illness, disease. I'm looking forward to this. No,
14:09
we don't wake up like that. Let's be honest. The Bible's honest with
14:11
us. The Word of God is honest with us. We need to be
14:13
honest with ourselves and with the Lord. We don't like it. I don't
14:18
like it, but we grow and we mature from it. Sometimes it's downright
14:22
painful. But when we've been trained by it, we'll see the fruit of
14:26
righteousness and spiritual peace. And it's gonna be worth it. It's gonna be
14:33
worth it. Man, So let's read the whole scripture. He was twelve
14:37
eleven, My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
14:41
nor be worry when reproved by him. For the Lord listen closely, For
14:46
the Lord disciplines the one he loves. He loves us and chastises every son
14:56
whom he receives. It is for discipline that you have to endure. God
15:01
is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does
15:07
not discipline. If you are left without discipline in which all have participated,
15:13
then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Wow. Besides this, we
15:20
have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Shall we
15:28
not much more be subject to the father of spirits and live? That's a
15:33
question. For they disciplined us for a short time, as it seemed best
15:37
to them. But he disciplines. God disciplines us for our good that we
15:43
may share in his holiness. For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather
15:50
than pleasant, But later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
15:56
have been trained by it. So stands, how has God used trials to
16:03
train you? Think about it? So if you think about this correctly,
16:07
he said, wait a minute, God's disciplined me. I'm being trained by
16:11
this. I'm not alone. He's my father. He's not punishing a lot
16:15
of people think, Oh, God's punishing me for what I did yesterday,
16:18
last year, for what I did ten years ago. He's punishing me.
16:22
He's punishing me. God took the punishment on himself for the whole entire world.
16:27
Remember Jesus on the cross. He took the sins of the whole entire
16:32
world upon his own self, Yet he himself did not sin. He took
16:36
the punishment that we deserved on that cross, yet he did not sin.
16:41
He didn't deserve to take all that pain and all that punishment. But the
16:45
Bible says he did it once, once for all. He's not going to
16:49
continue to punish himself on a cross. He's not gonna punish us. He's
16:53
going to discipline pin us. It's going to chastise us because he loves us.
16:59
If we are chill, the living God, he's gonna discipline us,
17:03
just like the Bow says that our fathers should have disciplined us because they love
17:07
us. And that's only momentarily, that's only temporarily. How much more does
17:11
an eternal father a man have a plan for us, his children when he
17:15
trains us from trials? Right, he disciplines us because he loves us.
17:21
If he just less es I, it's okay. You could get ahead and
17:23
do that. You could get ahead and do that. I'm not gonna discipline
17:26
you. He's basically gonna be telling us he doesn't love us. He's not
17:30
going to teach us, he's not going to train us. He's not going
17:33
to give us an opportunity to experience what happens after the training from trials,
17:40
which is the peace right from him, the righteousness, the holiness, the
17:45
right standing with him. Those are benefits. And when we're learning and when
17:48
we're being trained from trials, Amen, we get the benefits of peace.
17:53
Who doesn't want peace? You could give me. You could offer me a
17:56
billion dollars and say I'll give you a bill dollars with no peace, or
18:00
a couple of dollars with peace. I'll take it a couple of dollars with
18:03
peace, thank you, amen, because peace is more valuable to me than
18:07
a billion dollars. I know it sounds crazy you would take the billion dollar,
18:11
Sam, not if it's going to take away my peace. Good morning,
18:15
Sis, the joyous, good morning, God, blessed you, welcome
18:18
back to the morning, DeVos. Good to see my sister and my friend.
18:21
So you know, it's up to us a lot of times we make
18:23
these decisions based on our emotion. But when God is disciplining us, he's
18:29
chastising us. It keeps us knowing that we're live in Him because we feel
18:34
it's not only emotion, it's spiritual peace, not just emotional peace, not
18:40
just peace to our body, peace to our soul. It's a spiritual natural,
18:45
emotional holiness, righteousness, all of it. That peace comes from God,
18:51
which the world doesn't understand. The peace of God surpasses all understanding.
18:56
The Bible says. So the author of Hebrews compared the way God disciplines us
19:02
to the way a father disciplines his children. He loves them so much that
19:07
he allows them to struggle because he knows. That is why. That is
19:11
what we truly need. We need to learn how to grow and struggle and
19:15
be stretched. Amen. Not every day is a good day. Any person
19:18
that's on this social media platform that's preaching Jesus, preaching the Gospel, preaching
19:25
the Bible and tells you every day because where Christians every day is going to
19:27
be perfect day. They meant, let's pray for them because they're not living
19:33
in a reality of this world. Or they might be one of those sheltered
19:37
people that never leave their home, never leave their congregation, never leave the
19:40
community of faith, Amen, and they're sheltered so much that they are unrealistic.
19:45
So once they step out of that shelter into the world that we're living
19:49
in, which Jesus said, in this world you will have trials and tribulations.
19:53
He said it. It's a promise, it's established, it's done.
19:57
We all know that. And a person who so sheltered among the saints,
20:02
when they come out to the world, they're shocked, say, Wow,
20:04
there's really evil people out here. There's people that really want to hurt you
20:08
and hurt me. There's people who don't love God, who don't love themselves.
20:11
There's people walking around my hatred in their heart. So if you don't
20:15
think you need to have the full armor of God on every time you leave
20:18
your home or every time you leave your sheltered, sheltered and protected environment,
20:23
you're sadly mistaken. So let us know beforehand that we are surrounded by people
20:30
who really are in this world and about that life. And then we have
20:36
people who love Christ, Amen, who are really about their life. So
20:40
let's be balanced about it and know that if God allows a trial in our
20:45
lives, a man for a purpose and reason, the people who are illegitimate
20:48
children, like the scripture says, who are not sons of God. They
20:52
just want what's best for them and they don't want what's good for anybody else.
20:56
That's why people say misery company hurt people, hurt people. But I
21:02
think healed people could go around healing other people as well. Amen. Is
21:06
a reverse to that. So we have a disciplining father, a father who
21:11
loves us so much that he's willing to discipline us and listen. Even with
21:15
friends, good friends, friends in God. Amen, if they're not willing
21:21
to discipline or challenge our way of thinking when we're going the wrong way,
21:25
then they're not really loving us. Amen. I risk a lot of times
21:27
in my life so far, I risk telling a friend the truth at the
21:33
risk of losing their friendship, rather than telling them alion and saying, oh,
21:36
it's all good, it's okay. You could keep on doing that,
21:38
and you know that's going to please on honor God, and vice versa.
21:42
I have men of God that have faced me face to face and said,
21:45
you better change that way of thinking, you better do something about that way
21:51
of thinking, that attitude or whatever, because it's not pleasing to the Lord.
21:55
They do that because they love me. I do that because I love
21:57
you. Amen. So if you love somebody, tell them the truth,
22:02
truth and love. But sometimes how many people know, Sometimes the truth hurts
22:06
because your flesh is so used to accustomed to doing what the flesh wants to
22:11
do. And if you oppose the flesh by the spirit of God, the
22:15
flesh in us or that was trying to work things through us, a man
22:19
doesn't like it. So it brings some kind of pain, some kind of
22:22
stress. But if you're willing to be obedient to God's word and to God's
22:27
call, and you are discerning the spirit of God and learning from training a
22:33
man through trials, then you'll understand that and you'll receive that wisdom. Amen.
22:37
And you'll honor the person who you got the wisdom from. And you
22:41
will grow from there. And you will move up, not down. You
22:42
will move forward, not back. You will be increased, not decreased in
22:47
your faith. Think about it. God has a plan. Thinks about how
22:52
God has trained me as the heavenly father that he is. I think about
22:57
it, saying, Man, God, allow some trials in my life,
23:00
for me and my wife to experience trials with child birthing, and from child
23:06
bearing. I should say, and to this very day, had He not
23:10
allowed us to go through those trials, and we would have been thrown back
23:14
into our old ages, our old way of life, if we didn't know
23:18
any better, if God wasn't there working things out, if we weren't trusting
23:22
in God, we would be way back in the world somewhere doing something,
23:26
probably not even together, me and my wife, because we were being tested,
23:30
We were being tried, we were going through trials. But we started
23:33
to learn from the trials. We started to learn how to be trained from
23:38
the trials. Amen. We know for sure, and I know for sure.
23:42
Every day is a new day. So every day presents his own trouble.
23:47
That's why the Bible says, let the day worry about itself. Men,
23:51
let the troubles of the day worry about the troubles of the day.
23:53
Trust God, believe in his word. Move forward, move up, don't
23:59
move move forward, don't move backwards. Amen, God allowed me to go
24:06
through difficult times, and He hasn't always stepped in to rescue me. What
24:11
about you? If God always steps in to rescue you, or God steps
24:15
in to rescue me every single time, what are we really learning. That's
24:21
why there's a lot of preachers out there, a lot of evangelist prophets,
24:23
apostles, pastors, teachers who are so spoiled because they feel like everything that
24:30
they pray for they deserve to get according to how they think. Sometimes they
24:36
have this way of thinking that if they have enough faith, God will take
24:41
this way. Take that away, listen, step into reality. The reality
24:47
is that God disciplines those he loves, his sons, his daughters, his
24:51
children. He disciplines us. So that means during a discipline, he's allowing
24:55
us we're being discipled. Amen. He's allowing us to experience trials and trouble,
25:00
but he's going to allow us to see that we could change the trial
25:06
to be a training ground, not just stomping ground. We're not gonna get
25:10
all beat up. We're not gonna get all I'll bent out of shape.
25:15
He's not going to abandon us, and Okay, do it on your own.
25:18
I'm out of here now. You got to figure it out. I
25:21
hear that way too much and sometimes I say, we got to figure this
25:23
out. I gotta figure this out. But God is showing us how to
25:27
live this life out and righteousness and holiness. Amen. I think I get
25:32
in my way, I get in God's way of him showing me how to
25:36
just live this life out a man, because I'm trying to figure it out
25:38
a man. How many people try to figure out life like I do.
25:42
Sometimes when you realize that when you're going through difficult times and he hasn't always
25:49
stepped into rescue, you realize he was with you all through it all,
25:53
he was with me all through it, or I can tell you that every
25:56
single day, guy's with me. Amen. I don't always know why,
26:02
especially not right away. I've had that why question. I've asked that white
26:07
question. I've been asked the white quest. Why does this happen? Why
26:08
do we have to go through this? Right? It's a difficult question to
26:12
answer when you're going through it difficult, right, So out of respect,
26:18
sometimes I know I don't have to answer, but I just look. Sometimes
26:22
just huggle person. Sometimes I just listen to the way they are feeling,
26:26
because I don't have an answer to the why all the time, especially at
26:30
that moment when you're going through something painful, when you're going through loss and
26:33
tragedy and illness and sickness, and you're going through life and everything's being thrown
26:40
at you. Sometimes the why question is best to be left alone. Hey,
26:45
man, the why question? Why is this happening? I don't always
26:52
know why, especially not right away. But I can see that God has
26:55
grown my faith and my character through struggle, not through e and comfort.
27:02
Right when everything's full of pleasure, right, pleasure could become an idol.
27:07
I've seen it, I experienced it. Pleasure could become an idol. Amen.
27:11
Pain is a horrible master, but pain could be used as a servant.
27:19
Pain is something that we could all agree that we're going to go through,
27:23
whether you're rich or poor, whether you're an atheist or a believer.
27:27
Pain is common ground for all of us in mankind believe in God. Now,
27:33
I don't believe in God. Do you ever have pain in your life?
27:36
Oh? Yeah, I have a lot of pain in my life sometimes?
27:37
That right, because we had that common ground, Amen, So nobody
27:42
could really say to me or to you that they've never experienced pain, lost,
27:47
grief, or depression, anxiety. No one could really say that.
27:51
Because we're living in a world that's fallen and broken, and God Jesus came
27:56
to overcome this world system that's why he said, be a good you because
28:00
and here we have peace, and this world we have trials. So let's
28:03
turn it around. Let's use trials as a training amen, and let's learn
28:08
how Hebrews chapter twelve. Read the whole chapter, learn what it says,
28:12
learn what it means in your life into my life life, and we could
28:17
get training from these trials. And man, I hope you're getting what I'm
28:19
saying. Thank you so much for hanging out with me, for listening,
28:23
for giving me your listening. Ear. I bless you all in the name
28:26
of Jesus God. Bless you all, got keep you all and remember always
28:30
that God is good Peace,
