Speaker 1: explain the reasons. But we're back. Glory to God. The
0:38
Speaker 1: Love Commandment. Today in the Morning Devo. We just went
0:41
Speaker 1: through the Holy Week, right, and I was trying to
0:45
Speaker 1: podcast the Holy Week, Amen, and we left off on
0:49
Speaker 1: I believe this was Thursday. This would have been Thursday
0:53
Speaker 1: the Love Commandment. Amen. So we're gonna pick it up
0:56
Speaker 1: from here. When Jesus said, I give you a new commandment.
1:02
Speaker 1: Because Jesus could do that, he's the completion of Yahweh,
1:06
Speaker 1: He's the completion of the commandments, the prophecies and all
1:10
Speaker 1: of it. So he made a new commandment Amen, with
1:13
Speaker 1: his people, for us or all eternity. Amen. So we
1:17
Speaker 1: are here based on what Jesus did, based on what
1:20
Speaker 1: he is doing continuously in our hearts and our minds.
1:24
Speaker 1: He could do that, he could make a new commandment.
1:29
Speaker 1: So the greatest, true greatness is found in serving and
1:34
Speaker 1: loving others. Think about it. What good is it if
1:39
Speaker 1: I'm just loving myself and loving no one else? What
1:43
Speaker 1: good is it if I'm just serving myself and I'm
1:46
Speaker 1: not serving no one else? Right, that'd be That's called selfishness.
1:50
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we have to be self less. True
1:54
Speaker 1: greatness is found and serving and loving others is going
1:57
Speaker 1: to be in John chapter thirteen, vers. Thirty four. Today
2:00
Speaker 1: in the morning, devote. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
2:04
Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, just let a
2:08
Speaker 1: brother know through the live chat. Amen. We could do
2:10
Speaker 1: that that way. Amen, we could do it that way
2:14
Speaker 1: as well, through the live chat. If you're with me
2:16
Speaker 1: at live that so much is with a ze do Orgy.
2:18
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming through yesterday. From the
2:22
Speaker 1: time of this recording, we would normally do the Kingdom Call.
2:25
Speaker 1: I took time off of that as well as I
2:28
Speaker 1: had back to back events Friday, Saturday, Friday and Saturday,
2:35
Speaker 1: so that means I was just spent number one and
2:38
Speaker 1: number two. It was a time to you know, refocus
2:43
Speaker 1: and reignite energy. So I said, listen, let me just
2:48
Speaker 1: enjoy the day, amen, and just look at my children,
2:52
Speaker 1: look at my wife, and look at my family in
2:54
Speaker 1: my house, and just take it down for one day. Amen.
2:58
Speaker 1: It's okay to do that. Right. Obviously, the world didn't
3:02
Speaker 1: end because I didn't do the Kingdom call. But I
3:06
Speaker 1: do miss it when I stop doing stuff, I do
3:09
Speaker 1: miss it. Amen. So pray for brother, because I'm like
3:12
Speaker 1: on ministry mode all the time, and sometimes you have
3:15
Speaker 1: to rest. Sometimes we have to take it down for
3:17
Speaker 1: a moment. The Love commandment. Let's go for it. We'll
3:20
Speaker 1: pray first. After we pray, we'll shared this out for
3:22
Speaker 1: like sixty seconds, and then on the other side of
3:25
Speaker 1: those sixty seconds, we'll come back and we'll get right
3:27
Speaker 1: into our scripture. John chapter thirteen and thirty four. Father,
3:31
Speaker 1: I thank you that you are the completion of Yahweh,
3:35
Speaker 1: that you are the only one and that could do that,
3:40
Speaker 1: that is make a new commandment. And you gave us
3:43
Speaker 1: this new commandment, Amen, And I thank you for that.
3:46
Speaker 1: Thank you Lo God for positioning us for a blessing.
3:49
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for saving us, rescue with us,
3:51
Speaker 1: giving us a born again experience. Thank you, Lord God
3:54
Speaker 1: for who you are and what you've done as we
3:57
Speaker 1: celebrated the Holy Week, knowing that you were on your
4:00
Speaker 1: way to victory, on your way to a cross, on
4:04
Speaker 1: your way to death, so you could be the ultimate sacrifice,
4:08
Speaker 1: so that way we could live. And not only that,
4:11
Speaker 1: Friday Sunday came and you rose from the grave. And
4:15
Speaker 1: I thank you, Lord God that whether it was Thursday
4:18
Speaker 1: that it happened or Friday that it happened that you died,
4:21
Speaker 1: the point is that you died, and the point is
4:24
Speaker 1: that you rose again, conquering sin and death. I pray,
4:28
Speaker 1: Lord God, that this will just be something that we
4:30
Speaker 1: could rest upon, that we could rely upon, that we
4:35
Speaker 1: could know in our hearts and minds that we do
4:37
Speaker 1: have victory because you have victory. First. We can love
4:41
Speaker 1: because you loved us first, and that you have the
4:43
Speaker 1: love commandment, resting and living and breathing in our lives.
4:48
Speaker 1: Had you protection over every single person listening and watching,
4:51
Speaker 1: I prayer over my family as well. I set forth
4:53
Speaker 1: arkmen angels, minister angels, and warrying angels to annihilate the
4:57
Speaker 1: tactics of the enemy, powered the commandment of Love, powered
5:04
Speaker 1: by the Lord Jesus. That Lord guide you and command
5:06
Speaker 1: these angels to do your will for our lives. Myself
5:10
Speaker 1: included my wife, our family, our children, our grandchildren, every
5:14
Speaker 1: single person on both sides of our family, that you
5:17
Speaker 1: would test their hearts and God us all the way
5:19
Speaker 1: to the truth in Jesus Holy name, praise by faith.
5:22
Speaker 1: So help me shed this out. Amen. Sixty seconds. When
5:26
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's morning devil.
5:28
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, and thank you so much for
6:58
Speaker 1: helping me shut us out. And thank you for all
7:00
Speaker 1: those people who visit the site so when it is
7:02
Speaker 1: with a Zida Org, don't forget to subscribe to the
7:05
Speaker 1: podcasts and subscribe to the YouTube channel. And for those
7:08
Speaker 1: who are supporting us through prayer and financials, Amen is
7:13
Speaker 1: right there on the screen where to go to do
7:15
Speaker 1: that as well. Thank you so much for considering moving
7:18
Speaker 1: forward and supplying some needs for other ministries, this ministry,
7:24
Speaker 1: for other families as well, because that's what happens when
7:26
Speaker 1: you sew into this ministry the love commandment. Yes yesterday
7:30
Speaker 1: I was thinking about like doing something different, but I
7:33
Speaker 1: said nope, I don't want to do something different. I
7:35
Speaker 1: want to start where I left off. Amen. As I
7:39
Speaker 1: took some time Amen, to refocus and to rest and
7:42
Speaker 1: to prepare for these events that I had. I said, no,
7:46
Speaker 1: let me keep on going from where I left off. Amen.
7:49
Speaker 1: And I believe that was prompted by the Holy Spirit.
7:51
Speaker 1: I don't like to just make things up because I
7:54
Speaker 1: don't make things up. I rely on Holy Spirit to
7:57
Speaker 1: guide me. And when he says I stopped, when he
8:00
Speaker 1: says go, I go. When he says change something, I will, amen.
8:04
Speaker 1: And sometimes he'll do to that right now, He'll do
8:06
Speaker 1: it during the morning devo and change something that I
8:09
Speaker 1: was preparing ahead of time. If you understand what I'm saying, Amen.
8:13
Speaker 1: So we have to be willing and obedient to just
8:16
Speaker 1: go with what the Lord is doing. Go what God
8:19
Speaker 1: to say. Amen. It's more important for me to speak
8:23
Speaker 1: with God to speak and then what I want to speak.
8:26
Speaker 1: If that makes any sense to anybody. So let me
8:28
Speaker 1: put this Southern screen for those who are listening. Got
8:30
Speaker 1: Soul Winners with a z DO Org to sell our
8:31
Speaker 1: radio network. Thank you so much. I'm going to read
8:34
Speaker 1: everything that we're seeing on the screen word for word
8:37
Speaker 1: is obviously your audio only that means you're driving, working out,
8:41
Speaker 1: getting ready for work, whatever the case may be. As
8:44
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, connect stay connected with us, amen,
8:48
Speaker 1: Just join our our VIP email lists and a text list. Amen.
8:52
Speaker 1: You can do that right from the website as well.
8:55
Speaker 1: So let's go for let me get this on the screen,
8:57
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The love commandment. I love it, Amen.
9:02
Speaker 1: God's good and what he does. So the Book of John,
9:06
Speaker 1: chapter thirteen, verse thirty four, Jesus is speaking. So this
9:09
Speaker 1: is the direct quote from our Savior, our Lord, the
9:13
Speaker 1: King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen. He says,
9:16
Speaker 1: I am giving you a new commandment that you love
9:20
Speaker 1: one another just as I have loved you. So you
9:26
Speaker 1: too are to love one another. Think about it. Clearly,
9:32
Speaker 1: who is he speaking to? Amen? And he even gives
9:36
Speaker 1: us a reason of why he gives this new commandment.
9:41
Speaker 1: Because I think that people at his time and people
9:44
Speaker 1: right now forget that God is love. Right, and if
9:49
Speaker 1: God is love, and we say that we follow God
9:52
Speaker 1: and that we have God in us, we should be
9:55
Speaker 1: loving others a man. The greatest thing that a Christ's
9:59
Speaker 1: followed could the true sign of a great believer is
10:04
Speaker 1: a person who loves others, Amen, like genuinely love others.
10:11
Speaker 1: And I know a man of God, brother will Wes, Amen,
10:14
Speaker 1: that he genuinely just loves people. And that's power, that's
10:19
Speaker 1: power from above, that's power of God, that's Holy Spirit power. Amen.
10:23
Speaker 1: And those type of people become contagious because then people
10:27
Speaker 1: want to know where is this overflow of love coming from?
10:31
Speaker 1: And then he could present and we could present the
10:34
Speaker 1: gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ right then and there.
10:36
Speaker 1: It's like a seamless transition, Amen, from just loving people
10:41
Speaker 1: showing love, to realize that a lot of people don't
10:45
Speaker 1: have this type of love shown to them anytime during
10:49
Speaker 1: their life, or maybe it'll be the first time right
10:51
Speaker 1: now that I could say, by the power of Holy
10:54
Speaker 1: Spirit living inside of me, that I love every single
10:56
Speaker 1: one of you that are watching and listening. People might
10:59
Speaker 1: find that strange. He's like, you're right, you don't even
11:01
Speaker 1: know me. Well, listen, did we know God before he
11:06
Speaker 1: found us and opened our eyes? No, a man, he
11:10
Speaker 1: knows us. And because he knows us, he wants us
11:13
Speaker 1: to love because he loves us first, and he demonstrated
11:18
Speaker 1: his own love in this that while I was still,
11:22
Speaker 1: and while you was still a hater of God, a sinner,
11:25
Speaker 1: he still went to that cross and died for us.
11:28
Speaker 1: The demonstration of God's love is a perfect example of sacrifice,
11:33
Speaker 1: a perfect example of mercy, a perfect example of grace.
11:37
Speaker 1: And he did it all for you and all for me,
11:39
Speaker 1: for all eternity. It was a one and done a man.
11:44
Speaker 1: In other words, Jesus doesn't have to demonstrate his love
11:47
Speaker 1: again and again and again and again. A man he
11:50
Speaker 1: went to across once for all. Now, empowered by Holy Spirit,
11:54
Speaker 1: as his followers, as his children, a man, as his representatives,
11:58
Speaker 1: as his ambassador here on this earth, we can go
12:01
Speaker 1: and spread this message of love. Some people actually think
12:05
Speaker 1: that the Gospel is a message of hate, and a
12:07
Speaker 1: message of bondage and a message of manipulation. Man, pray
12:12
Speaker 1: for those people because they never read the scriptures. Obviously,
12:15
Speaker 1: if they really think that way, has the Bible been
12:18
Speaker 1: used in history? The scripture has been used in history
12:21
Speaker 1: to promote slavery and all kinds of things that are
12:24
Speaker 1: not godly. Of course, because people realize, people who are
12:28
Speaker 1: in control realize that the power of God's word is
12:31
Speaker 1: so powerful that it can be used as a weapon
12:35
Speaker 1: to make people that are unaware or they have lack
12:41
Speaker 1: of wisdom, that have lack of understanding, they couldn't read
12:44
Speaker 1: that they were using the scriptures falsely. Amen. But do
12:48
Speaker 1: you think that God didn't know that? Do you think
12:51
Speaker 1: that God's not going to judge that? No, he is
12:54
Speaker 1: going to judge it. And those people are already judged.
12:58
Speaker 1: So this would have took place during Holy Week. It
13:01
Speaker 1: would have been on a Thursday, according to theologians, and
13:05
Speaker 1: according to people who have studied this way more than
13:08
Speaker 1: I have. Amen, Let's just call it a Thursday. The
13:11
Speaker 1: Last Supper and command to love. The Scripture says in
13:16
Speaker 1: Matthew twenty six seventeen and thirty Mark chapter fourteen twelve
13:20
Speaker 1: to twenty six, Luke twenty two seven to thirty eight.
13:24
Speaker 1: In John chapter thirteen and John chapter seventeen. It's written
13:29
Speaker 1: all over the Gospels that Jesus celebrated to passover with
13:34
Speaker 1: his disciples. So if Jesus celebrated an important day right
13:40
Speaker 1: and his culture and his time, Amen, And that proved
13:43
Speaker 1: to us that he was following the laws of the land,
13:46
Speaker 1: and he was following the traditions and customs of his people.
13:50
Speaker 1: Right and that's no issue, right, And I'm not saying
13:53
Speaker 1: we need to go back to the customs and traditions
13:56
Speaker 1: of right the old Covenant. But Jesus is respectful to
14:03
Speaker 1: the people of his time, and we should be respectful
14:05
Speaker 1: to our people of our time. Since the mirriam, God,
14:08
Speaker 1: bless you, good morning. Yes it is a great morning.
14:11
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming to the morning Devo. God bless you,
14:13
Speaker 1: my sister and my friend. Jesus also institutes the Lord's suffer,
14:17
Speaker 1: which is communion. If we have perfect communion, we do
14:23
Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit, and then this shouldn't be
14:26
Speaker 1: like a forceful thing. It shouldn't be an issue of
14:29
Speaker 1: just being in perfect unity, perfect community by way of
14:32
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit with Jesus, with the Father as well. So
14:36
Speaker 1: we have the Father, we have a son, Holy Spirit.
14:39
Speaker 1: All three are God, Amen, and we have communion by
14:44
Speaker 1: way of Holy Spirit. Amen, with the Godhead. What did
14:48
Speaker 1: Jesus do to show his true greatness? Jesus humble himself
14:57
Speaker 1: to be a servant, right, because if you want to
14:59
Speaker 1: be the greatest in the kingdom, you have to be
15:01
Speaker 1: the servants of the kingdom. Amen washes their feet as
15:08
Speaker 1: a servant, and this is mind blowing to me because
15:11
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, this is the creator of the universe.
15:15
Speaker 1: This is the sinless man, God man washing the feet
15:21
Speaker 1: of his messed up disciples of sinful people. Right, that's
15:27
Speaker 1: mind blowing. But he did it to demonstrate his love
15:31
Speaker 1: for his disciples, his love for humanity, his love for
15:34
Speaker 1: all of his creation. And he humbled himself humility. People
15:38
Speaker 1: think that being humble is a is a sign of
15:43
Speaker 1: no power, lack of power, right, sign of weakness, and
15:47
Speaker 1: the scriptures put that on its head and say no,
15:52
Speaker 1: humble and humility. Being humble and showing humility is a
15:55
Speaker 1: sign of great power, according to the Kingdom Principles of God.
16:00
Speaker 1: So he washes their feet and then he gives a
16:02
Speaker 1: new commandment to love one another. I can't get too
16:07
Speaker 1: deep of the feet. Washington is a lot more involved
16:11
Speaker 1: in that. It's a lot more revelation in there. But
16:14
Speaker 1: we have a short amount of time, and I like,
16:16
Speaker 1: you just give these out in like twenty five minutes. Right.
16:21
Speaker 1: So he gives a new commandment to love one another.
16:26
Speaker 1: So when God gives a commandment, amen, let me ask
16:29
Speaker 1: you a question. Because God is loved, does he force
16:32
Speaker 1: his commands on us? Does he say, listen, you have
16:36
Speaker 1: no choice. You better follow this commandment. That the God
16:40
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about is that the God that we serve,
16:43
Speaker 1: is that Jesus, is that Holy Spirit? Is that what
16:46
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is telling you right now? You better you
16:49
Speaker 1: better follow this commandment. You better do as I say
16:51
Speaker 1: or else. It's crazy that that's not the case. It's
16:55
Speaker 1: crazy that although he can do that, he won't do that.
17:00
Speaker 1: Because when you're forced to do something, when you're forced
17:04
Speaker 1: to do anything in life, that's not really based on love,
17:09
Speaker 1: that's based on dictatorship. That's based on forced that's forced
17:14
Speaker 1: ways of thinking, forced ways of doing things. That's not love. Amen.
17:19
Speaker 1: Sister Miriam says, humility is great power. Right, Humility is
17:24
Speaker 1: great power. It is. And think about people of influence
17:28
Speaker 1: in this world. Some are humble. I've known and I've
17:32
Speaker 1: met millionaires that are very humble, Amen. And I also
17:36
Speaker 1: met millionaires that are really prideful and arrogant and they
17:40
Speaker 1: want to show off their things. A man. I know,
17:43
Speaker 1: if you've been following me for any amount of time,
17:46
Speaker 1: you probably heard me with the story that I picked
17:48
Speaker 1: up three millionaires from the casino a man when I
17:51
Speaker 1: was doing I guess uber or Lyft one of them,
17:54
Speaker 1: and God showed me a great lesson in that ride.
17:58
Speaker 1: They were from Leehigh Valley, a prestigious part of Lee
18:03
Speaker 1: Have Valley. I know, I don't want to say the area.
18:05
Speaker 1: So it was a short ride. But in that short ride,
18:09
Speaker 1: three millionaires in the back seat, and the conversation between
18:12
Speaker 1: the two younger and there was one older. The two
18:15
Speaker 1: younger ones were going back and forth about their accolades,
18:17
Speaker 1: what they have or what their wives were getting, and
18:21
Speaker 1: what they were trying to fix and look trying to
18:23
Speaker 1: look younger. And I heard it all in that conversation.
18:27
Speaker 1: And then when I got to the first millionaire's home,
18:31
Speaker 1: he said, hey, driver, you want to see something cool.
18:33
Speaker 1: They took out his phone, lit up his pool all
18:36
Speaker 1: different colors of waterfalls and everything, and lift up in
18:40
Speaker 1: his garage. The house lit up off on my app
18:42
Speaker 1: that he had on his phone, and I said, oh,
18:44
Speaker 1: that's cool. So I guess his friend. The other millionaire said, oh,
18:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do better, wait till you get to miles.
18:50
Speaker 1: When I got to the other one's house, he was
18:52
Speaker 1: telling me, well, you saw what my friend had or
18:54
Speaker 1: checked this out. Then he was telling about he had
18:56
Speaker 1: five hundred and something thousand dollars in his basement and
18:59
Speaker 1: this that, and the third yeah, they were a little tipsy,
19:01
Speaker 1: they were a little drunk or whatever. But I noticed
19:04
Speaker 1: that the older of the both was real silent. Right.
19:09
Speaker 1: So when the second millionaire got up, third millionaire was like, hey,
19:13
Speaker 1: I apologize for the arrogance, right for the pride, But
19:17
Speaker 1: those guys have been a competition, petition, he said, since
19:20
Speaker 1: they were young and they don't have to work anymore.
19:24
Speaker 1: He told me it's just that they choose to work.
19:26
Speaker 1: And one actually just gave his business, sold his business
19:30
Speaker 1: to his family, and he hardly ever works. But he said,
19:33
Speaker 1: they don't really have to show off. They don't really
19:35
Speaker 1: have to do all of that, but if they have
19:37
Speaker 1: something in their heart, core pride. Right. So I don't
19:40
Speaker 1: know if this last millionaire was a man of God,
19:42
Speaker 1: but he was showing sharing some wisdom about wealth. So
19:46
Speaker 1: he says, although I'm a million and myself, I don't
19:48
Speaker 1: have millions like these other two have. But what I
19:51
Speaker 1: do have, he says, I'm a retired banker. And what
19:54
Speaker 1: I do have that they don't have, He said, he
19:56
Speaker 1: has a a marriage. I think he was married for
19:58
Speaker 1: thirty something years at that point, Amen, and that he
20:01
Speaker 1: was happiness marriage, and that he was living the rest
20:03
Speaker 1: of his life quietly. And so that my thing is
20:07
Speaker 1: that he was the humble one. And because he was
20:09
Speaker 1: the humble one, I had great respect. And mind you
20:13
Speaker 1: three millionaires, I'm thinking, man, I'm going to get at
20:15
Speaker 1: least one hundred dollars tip for his ride. The first
20:19
Speaker 1: millionaire nothing, the second man and nothing, Amen. But the
20:23
Speaker 1: third one, the humble one, Amen, gave me twenty five dollars.
20:27
Speaker 1: And he said, I noticed other guys in the tip you,
20:30
Speaker 1: but I'm going to tip you. It was a sign
20:32
Speaker 1: of humility and being humble. And I learned more from
20:35
Speaker 1: the humble millionaire than I did from the arrogant ones.
20:39
Speaker 1: Jesus is the most humblest Amen of us all, and
20:43
Speaker 1: I learned way more from the Lord Jesus, the one
20:47
Speaker 1: who has all the riches right, the one who created
20:50
Speaker 1: all things. And yet he could have been arrogant, but
20:53
Speaker 1: he wasn't a man. He was humble. So I take
20:56
Speaker 1: a lesson from that. Sister Jodys, Good morning, God bless you.
20:59
Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning Devo. My system, my friend is
21:01
Speaker 1: good to see you. Amen. Hopefully we could continue these
21:05
Speaker 1: morning DeVos and be back in the studio. Amen. Don't
21:08
Speaker 1: you love that, sister Miriam. It's amazing. It's amazing how
21:12
Speaker 1: God works through people. So this new commandment that God
21:17
Speaker 1: gave us that we loved one another just as He
21:21
Speaker 1: has loved us. Right, and on top of that, during
21:26
Speaker 1: the communion, what did Jesus say, Luke twenty two, nineteen
21:29
Speaker 1: and twenty He said, this is my blood, No excuse me,
21:34
Speaker 1: this is my body, he said first, and then he said,
21:36
Speaker 1: this is my blood. Do this and remembrance of me.
21:41
Speaker 1: So when we love based on the love commandment that
21:43
Speaker 1: God gave us, we love knowing and remembering who loved
21:47
Speaker 1: us first, Who was the one who did the ultimate sacrifice,
21:52
Speaker 1: Who is the one that loved us even while we
21:55
Speaker 1: were haters, while we were far from God? Amen? Who
21:59
Speaker 1: loved us even though we mocked God? In my past,
22:03
Speaker 1: I used to mock God in my past. I used
22:06
Speaker 1: to be that guy that used to say there is
22:08
Speaker 1: no God, or that the God that everyone's talking about
22:12
Speaker 1: was not for us, not for my people, not for me.
22:15
Speaker 1: That's the way I used to be before God opened
22:18
Speaker 1: my eyes, before he opened my ears, before he changed
22:21
Speaker 1: my heart, before he gave me a new mindset, and
22:23
Speaker 1: a lot of people could testify the same thing a man.
22:26
Speaker 1: But now that we know him, and now that he
22:28
Speaker 1: revealed himself to us, and now that he demonstrated his
22:31
Speaker 1: own love for us a man, now we know that
22:34
Speaker 1: this love commandment is a powerful commandment. This love commandment
22:37
Speaker 1: humbles us. This humbling love commandment puts us in a
22:42
Speaker 1: place where we can show and demonstrate to others the
22:46
Speaker 1: love that God has for us, and the love of
22:48
Speaker 1: God that's for them as well. A man. John fourteen
22:52
Speaker 1: fifteen Mari posted, those who love him obey his commandments. Yes,
22:58
Speaker 1: and we obey his commandments because we love him, not
23:01
Speaker 1: because we have to. Amen. But it will benefit you
23:05
Speaker 1: greatly to follow God's commandments. It won't benefit benefit you
23:09
Speaker 1: at all. To disregard the commandments of God. It won't
23:13
Speaker 1: benefit you at all. Just to deny the Gospel, to
23:17
Speaker 1: reject the Lord's message, it won't do you any good. Amen.
23:21
Speaker 1: Trust me. I was on the other side of this
23:23
Speaker 1: kingdom that I'm in now, you know, rejecting and denying
23:28
Speaker 1: and saying no, there is no God. All of that
23:30
Speaker 1: did not benefit me at all. Amen. A lot of
23:34
Speaker 1: people agreed with me because they were rejecting too, But
23:37
Speaker 1: that didn't help me, And as a matter of fact,
23:40
Speaker 1: it didn't hurt God when I rejected him. Amen, it
23:44
Speaker 1: doesn't help God if I accept him. What happens is
23:48
Speaker 1: he's an eternal being that showed us the way, the truth,
23:51
Speaker 1: and the life by way of Jesus the Christ. And
23:54
Speaker 1: then Jesus after he completed his mission, his love mission, Amen,
23:58
Speaker 1: his rescue mission, his mission, his mission to the cross,
24:02
Speaker 1: after he conquered the cross, sin and death, sent one
24:05
Speaker 1: just like him to live with every single person. Whosoever
24:10
Speaker 1: calls on the name of the Lord right shall be saved.
24:13
Speaker 1: And we're saved and being saved until the day that
24:16
Speaker 1: Jesus cracks open the sky and comes back for his people.
24:19
Speaker 1: So the Love Commandment, the Love Commandment. Read John chapter
24:23
Speaker 1: number thirteen, the whole chapter for yourself. Check it out.
24:25
Speaker 1: We camped out at verse number thirty four. So thank
24:28
Speaker 1: you so much for coming through to these morning DeVos.

24:33
Speaker 1: you all. Thank you so much. God keep you all
