0:38
Speaker 1: this ministry, pray for my family, and I'll continue to
0:40
Speaker 1: pray for you and your family and continue to supporting
0:43
Speaker 1: us financially. And we could do this thing together. We
0:45
Speaker 1: are so much better. We could reach more people together
0:48
Speaker 1: than I can just with the people that we have
0:51
Speaker 1: here on the network. Amen. So thank you so much
0:54
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart. Amen, and I prayed
0:57
Speaker 1: to the one who's on top for your life. Amen,
1:00
Speaker 1: that you will receive one hundred fold return blessing for
1:03
Speaker 1: any type of support that you have given us. Amen.
1:06
Speaker 1: I pray that and I believe that prayer to come
1:08
Speaker 1: to pass in your life. Amen, as well. So let's
1:11
Speaker 1: go forward today in the morning Devo. You know we
1:13
Speaker 1: were to talk about security. Amen. Security. I know for sure.
1:18
Speaker 1: I've been married twenty five years and I know one
1:20
Speaker 1: of the most important things in my wife and her
1:24
Speaker 1: mindset is she wants to feel secure. She wants to
1:27
Speaker 1: know that she's secure with her husband, with me Amen,
1:30
Speaker 1: to support her physically, emotionally and financially. Amen. Security is
1:36
Speaker 1: found that way in a lot of women's hearts. Amen.
1:39
Speaker 1: They want to know that they're secure. They could trust
1:42
Speaker 1: and they could believe. But how many people know? How
1:45
Speaker 1: many people know that there's no security in our possessions.
1:49
Speaker 1: There's no security and man like uninspired men? Like if
1:54
Speaker 1: I was an uninspired man, meaning that if I don't
1:56
Speaker 1: have Holy Spirit God living inside of me, why would
2:00
Speaker 1: my wife trusts me? Why would anyone trust me? Amen?
2:03
Speaker 1: Because I will be unreliable, right, I won't be truthful,
2:06
Speaker 1: I won't be righteous, Amen, And I won't be guided
2:12
Speaker 1: by the God of Him and the Earth. I'll be
2:13
Speaker 1: guided by my own heart. And before Christ entered into
2:17
Speaker 1: my life, this heart it was full of deceit wickedness, anger, sin, lies.
2:25
Speaker 1: It was full of all kinds of worldly things. But
2:28
Speaker 1: when you get saved. When I got saved, God changed
2:31
Speaker 1: my heart. Amen. It's like he took out the old
2:34
Speaker 1: heart and replaced it with his heart, a new heart. Amen.
2:38
Speaker 1: And now I could really follow my heart now as
2:41
Speaker 1: a born again believer. Amen. If you're not born again,
2:45
Speaker 1: my suggestion is, don't follow stop following your heart. Don't
2:48
Speaker 1: follow it no more. Amen, follow the Lord Jesus who
2:51
Speaker 1: could change your heart and make it a heart filled
2:54
Speaker 1: with his desires for your life and from my life. Amen.
2:57
Speaker 1: And that'll be a great, great way of living for
3:01
Speaker 1: the rest of your life until Jesus comes back for us. Amen.
3:05
Speaker 1: So listen, this is what I put. Security is not
3:08
Speaker 1: found in possessions, very simple, straight to the point. Amen.
3:12
Speaker 1: Today on the Morning Devo, we're going to be in
3:14
Speaker 1: Luke chapter twelve, verse number fifteen, Luke twelve and fifteen
3:18
Speaker 1: on the Morning Devo today. So let's go for it. Man.
3:21
Speaker 1: Let's pray first. After we pray, we shit us out
3:23
Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
3:27
Speaker 1: or any prayer requests anytime during this live stream and
3:31
Speaker 1: even if I'm not live by the time you listen
3:33
Speaker 1: or watch, make sure you just put your two cents
3:37
Speaker 1: in there. You know what I mean. Just text message
3:41
Speaker 1: me and box me, email me, contact me from the
3:44
Speaker 1: web from the website about a message that you heard
3:48
Speaker 1: from me or somebody else or whatever. You have a question,
3:50
Speaker 1: a concern, and prayer requests. I take those very important.
3:55
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I put importance to your prayer requests
3:58
Speaker 1: because I know how it is when you need prayer, amen,
4:01
Speaker 1: and you're trying to get people to rally behind you
4:04
Speaker 1: and pray. I believe there's power and prayer, especially when
4:08
Speaker 1: the righteous pray. When the righteous pray, bable says our prayer,
4:13
Speaker 1: availeth much and whatever that much is at the time
4:16
Speaker 1: of the prayer, Amen, God shows up in those prayers.
4:20
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. So, Father, I thank you so
4:22
Speaker 1: much that we have the privilege to pray to the
4:25
Speaker 1: King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I give
4:27
Speaker 1: you glory for that. I give you honor, praise, worship, adoration.
4:33
Speaker 1: Everything Logod that you have done deserves honor, glory, worship,
4:37
Speaker 1: and praise. I pray Lord God that you will concede
4:39
Speaker 1: to protect me, guide me guard me, me, myself, my family,
4:43
Speaker 1: my whole entire bloodline, from the very youngest family member
4:46
Speaker 1: to the very oldest everyone in between. My mom, that
4:49
Speaker 1: you will bless her life, that you can see that
4:51
Speaker 1: heal her body physically, emotionally and spiritually and guide her
4:54
Speaker 1: through lo God any situation that she might be facing
4:57
Speaker 1: right now, when it's dealing with decision making or anything
5:01
Speaker 1: that has to do with home living, household health, to
5:04
Speaker 1: a bones, strength to a body. In Jesus Name, I
5:07
Speaker 1: also pray that for every single mom and every single parent,
5:10
Speaker 1: over every single individual that's on the other side of
5:13
Speaker 1: the screen, on the other side of this mic, that
5:15
Speaker 1: you will bless them, that you encourage them, strengthen them,
5:18
Speaker 1: and give them the will and understanding and the wisdom
5:22
Speaker 1: to know what to do and how to navigate life
5:25
Speaker 1: in any part of their life. In Jesus Name, I
5:28
Speaker 1: prayed it's by faith and find that finally low God's security,
5:31
Speaker 1: that we can find a security not in our possessions,
5:34
Speaker 1: but find security in You through your word. In Jesus Name,
5:37
Speaker 1: and all those who agree, we say amen and Amen.
5:40
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Help me share this out
5:42
Speaker 1: for a minute. When we come back. We'll get right
5:44
Speaker 1: into Luke chapter number twelve, verse number fifteen. I bring
5:48
Speaker 1: it back a man and man, we're back. Let's go
7:08
Speaker 1: for it. Let's see what the world of God has
7:10
Speaker 1: for us today. An amazing time. It's an amazing time
7:13
Speaker 1: to be here on earth. Man. So much going on,
7:16
Speaker 1: so much turmoil, right, so much political things going on,
7:21
Speaker 1: so much crime and all that stuff. You might be saying,
7:25
Speaker 1: I say him celebrating that. No, I'm not celebrating. I'm
7:27
Speaker 1: just saying, this is the time where God shows up
7:30
Speaker 1: in your life and my life through these times so
7:32
Speaker 1: we could see his powers, Grace's mercy. Amen is love,
7:37
Speaker 1: right is everlasting love. His love endors forever, the scripture says.
7:42
Speaker 1: And we're securing that. I'm securing that knowing that whatever
7:46
Speaker 1: happens God, if God allows something crazy to happen in
7:49
Speaker 1: my life, right tragic. I'd been like, this guy is
7:53
Speaker 1: off his rocker. No I'm not. I'm just this is
7:57
Speaker 1: the way I think. If God allows it, at means
7:59
Speaker 1: some one's gonna get blessed, right in a great way.
8:04
Speaker 1: Because God don't allow things to happen just because he said,
8:07
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna take a day off, and
8:08
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the whole universe suffer. No, he's never
8:12
Speaker 1: taken a day off. He's always been here, always has been,
8:16
Speaker 1: and always will be. So if you allow something that
8:19
Speaker 1: means that there's a greater plan, we might not understand it.
8:23
Speaker 1: So security, a lot of people find their security in
8:25
Speaker 1: their possessions. They hide in their possessions. They worship their
8:29
Speaker 1: possessions because they think that that's gonna keep them safe
8:34
Speaker 1: from all that's happening in the world. They think influence, money, riches, fame,
8:38
Speaker 1: fortune is gonna keep them secure. They think taking this pilling,
8:42
Speaker 1: that pilling, and again in this type of surgery and
8:45
Speaker 1: that plastic surgery is gonna keep them secure, or in
8:49
Speaker 1: this makeup, right, it's gonna keep them secure. Now, it's
8:54
Speaker 1: not that, that's not it at all. Think about it,
8:56
Speaker 1: real clear. Security is only found in the one who
9:00
Speaker 1: keeps things secure. But that's the Lord himself. Security is
9:04
Speaker 1: not found and the things that are created. Security is
9:06
Speaker 1: found in the creative of all things. How about that?
9:10
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. I don't know why I'm
9:11
Speaker 1: preaching today. What's going on? Yeah, welcome a preacher. Amen.
9:15
Speaker 1: So the radio cele radio network. So win is with
9:18
Speaker 1: a z org. No worries. If this is your first
9:21
Speaker 1: time listening, you might be saying, why is he talking
9:24
Speaker 1: about what's going on on the screen if I'm just listening.
9:26
Speaker 1: It's because we're doing a livestream at the same time,
9:28
Speaker 1: a men a visual one, and of course the audio
9:31
Speaker 1: one that you're listening to. So hold tight, don't leave
9:34
Speaker 1: a man, keep listening because I'm gonna read it word
9:36
Speaker 1: for word what we're seeing on the screen. Amen. So
9:39
Speaker 1: let's go for it. And man, security is great when
9:43
Speaker 1: it works. That's all I gotta say. Security is great
9:46
Speaker 1: when it works. That's say, security is great when it works. No,
9:50
Speaker 1: technology is great when it works. Amen. Luke Chat twelve,
9:54
Speaker 1: verse fifteen. The Lord says. Then he said to them,
9:57
Speaker 1: this is the Lord speaking, watch out and go yourselves
10:00
Speaker 1: against every form of greed. For not even when one
10:06
Speaker 1: has an overflowing abundance, does his life consist or of
10:13
Speaker 1: nor is it derived from his possessions. Jesus is keeping
10:19
Speaker 1: this so straight. You can't miss this. Jesus is saying,
10:24
Speaker 1: watch out, be on your guard against all kinds of greed.
10:31
Speaker 1: A man's life does not consist in the abundance of
10:37
Speaker 1: his possession. You get that, So stop envying. If you're
10:43
Speaker 1: envying other people's possessions, stop envying that, you're kind of
10:47
Speaker 1: like hanging on somebody's fortune. Stop hating on that. Listen,
10:51
Speaker 1: it's clear the world is already proven to us that
10:54
Speaker 1: they put more emphasis. They put moll value on athletes,
10:58
Speaker 1: born thing, doctors, police officers, firefighters, nurses. The people who
11:04
Speaker 1: are keeping us healthy and safe get paid less than
11:10
Speaker 1: people who are entertaining us world system. Have you ever
11:14
Speaker 1: thought of that the world system puts more value on
11:18
Speaker 1: things that entertain us over the things or the people
11:23
Speaker 1: that keep us safe and secure on this earth. Make
11:27
Speaker 1: that make sense? It doesn't. Jesus knew it. Knew knew it.
11:32
Speaker 1: He knows it. He's telling us to watch out, draw
11:36
Speaker 1: ourselves against every form of greed, because that's a form
11:38
Speaker 1: of greed. Now, an athlete shouts to all the athletes
11:41
Speaker 1: out there, I know you worked hard to get to
11:43
Speaker 1: professional level boxing, basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey, you know, whatever, tennis.
11:51
Speaker 1: I know you worked. You all were all worked hard
11:54
Speaker 1: on saying that. You know, you shouldn't get any kind
11:57
Speaker 1: of conversation for it. Some of you guys over the
12:01
Speaker 1: top with your conversation unless you're giving back to the
12:04
Speaker 1: community that you came from, or you're giving back to
12:06
Speaker 1: a good cause or whatever, or you want to give
12:09
Speaker 1: to the ministry. He has someone is with a z
12:10
Speaker 1: that org Folwish slides donate. If you're an athlete and
12:14
Speaker 1: you believe in the Lord and you have abundance, Amen,
12:17
Speaker 1: and you want to support like somebody randomly, Amen, I
12:21
Speaker 1: need your support, and I'll take your support, and I'll
12:24
Speaker 1: invest your support in other lives and other families. And
12:28
Speaker 1: if you want, I'll definitely shout you out for it. Amen,
12:31
Speaker 1: and pray for you and continue to pray for you.
12:34
Speaker 1: But I mean what I'm saying is, think about it.
12:38
Speaker 1: My son is a firefighter gets paid pretty good, but
12:43
Speaker 1: compared to what an athlete in New York gets paid
12:50
Speaker 1: on the you know, the New York Knicks that's or
12:55
Speaker 1: you know whatever team locally, it doesn't compare. So you
13:01
Speaker 1: have someone who's making x amount and then you have
13:03
Speaker 1: someone who's making ten times that amount for bouncing a
13:07
Speaker 1: ball a man and shooting it into a hoop. Because
13:10
Speaker 1: basically that's this basic form, that's what it is. And
13:14
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not knocking the athletes, and I'm
13:16
Speaker 1: saying that it didn't take you, you know, a lot
13:19
Speaker 1: of effort and practice and time, and you're still training
13:24
Speaker 1: as your career is going. Amen. Praise God for that.
13:27
Speaker 1: I pray supernatural increase in your strength and endurance. For
13:31
Speaker 1: every single athlete out there that's striving to be in
13:34
Speaker 1: professional sports, Olympics or anything that you want to do,
13:37
Speaker 1: I pray God will give you favor and strength and
13:40
Speaker 1: help to get it done. And I'm not saying that
13:42
Speaker 1: you don't deserve any kind of repayment or payment or
13:46
Speaker 1: endorsements for it. What I am saying is that we
13:49
Speaker 1: don't find a security in those type of possessions because
13:52
Speaker 1: if you're an athlete, you know that it takes one
13:55
Speaker 1: bad game, one bad fall, one injury can end at all. Amen.
14:01
Speaker 1: That's why I love it when true Christians, true believers,
14:04
Speaker 1: that our athletes they look up in the sky and
14:06
Speaker 1: give glory to the Lord Jesus for the game that
14:09
Speaker 1: they didn't get hurt, but they did well, that they
14:12
Speaker 1: were healthy enough to play, that everything pretty much in
14:16
Speaker 1: their life was stable so that way they could concentrate
14:19
Speaker 1: on the game itself other than other things that might
14:21
Speaker 1: be going on in their lives. Very important man acknowledge
14:24
Speaker 1: those things. God sees your heart. God sees what you
14:28
Speaker 1: do in public and guess what, ladies and gentlemen. God
14:31
Speaker 1: sees what we do in secret. Men. So either way
14:35
Speaker 1: we could bring him honor and glory even when people
14:37
Speaker 1: don't see our successes and other things because it's behind
14:41
Speaker 1: the scene. Ministries like this have a lot of behind
14:43
Speaker 1: the scenes nobody knows, nobody sees. Amen. And sometimes I like,
14:50
Speaker 1: I say, can I, Lord, can I just tell people
14:52
Speaker 1: what I just did or what this ministry was able
14:55
Speaker 1: to do for this family, for that ministry. And God
14:57
Speaker 1: continues to say, you don't have to tell nobody. He knows.
15:01
Speaker 1: It's like the audience of one. Amen. And to me,
15:04
Speaker 1: that's a blessing. As long as the Lord acknowledges what's
15:07
Speaker 1: going on through his ministry that he allowed me to
15:12
Speaker 1: shepherd or he allowed me to be responsible for, right,
15:18
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. Amen. Yeah. I would like to
15:22
Speaker 1: go on social media with a lot of pictures, a
15:23
Speaker 1: lot of video footage of this time of thirty I
15:25
Speaker 1: would like to do that, Amen. But God says no.
15:29
Speaker 1: As long as he says no, I must say no, Amen.
15:31
Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful thing to be obedient to what
15:34
Speaker 1: God says more than to what your flesh is saying.
15:37
Speaker 1: How many people say amenity? So security, what do you
15:41
Speaker 1: find security? And to be honest, in this world do
15:44
Speaker 1: you find security and the things that you have or
15:47
Speaker 1: the people that you love? Or maybe I'm starting to
15:50
Speaker 1: notice a trend of young girls, young women, young adults.
15:56
Speaker 1: They might be like five feet tall, and I find
15:58
Speaker 1: it a trend that their boyfriends are like six seven
16:01
Speaker 1: seven foot tall, like huge, that's all. And I know,
16:05
Speaker 1: I know they might deny, but I know they find
16:08
Speaker 1: security in that. A protector they find in a big,
16:12
Speaker 1: you know, big healthy guy, Amen, walking alongside of them
16:17
Speaker 1: with them. They find security in that. But ladies, let
16:20
Speaker 1: me just tell you again, you can't rely on that
16:25
Speaker 1: type of security unless you have a man of God
16:28
Speaker 1: that's that's big like that he's not a man of God. Yeah,
16:34
Speaker 1: you might be fooling yourself. So be careful and how
16:37
Speaker 1: you find security, what you find security in, who you
16:39
Speaker 1: find security and if it's outside of God's will or
16:43
Speaker 1: God's word for your life, Amen, you might be running
16:46
Speaker 1: in a dangerous circle. You might be wasting sometime. Amen.
16:50
Speaker 1: God doesn't waste our time. We waste our own time
16:53
Speaker 1: sometimes by our own decisions that we make. So what
16:57
Speaker 1: do you find security in? Amen? Is it in yourself?
17:01
Speaker 1: Is it in riches, fame, fortune, possessions? Think about it clearly.
17:05
Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to answer it here. You
17:07
Speaker 1: could answer that between you and the Lord. Take a
17:10
Speaker 1: self evaluation. To be honest, because God knows your heart anyway,
17:14
Speaker 1: So be honest with God. First Timothy, chapter six, verse seventeen.
17:17
Speaker 1: I think we hit some of this the other day
17:20
Speaker 1: of the scripture. Command those who are rich in this
17:23
Speaker 1: present world, command them not to be arrogant or to
17:28
Speaker 1: put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain. How
17:33
Speaker 1: many people can say, Amen, the wealth is so uncertain.
17:36
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty when COVID hit, I was pretty well off. Amen.
17:42
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, God used that year to the COVID,
17:47
Speaker 1: the shut down. He used that year to allow me
17:52
Speaker 1: to create the studio Lelemen. It was thousands of dollars Amen,
17:57
Speaker 1: and he allowed me to pay it in cash. Can't
18:00
Speaker 1: make this up. It's all glory to God. The world
18:02
Speaker 1: shut down, and God supplied for this ministry, for this minister, Amen,
18:07
Speaker 1: for my family. He provided in an amazing way that everything.
18:12
Speaker 1: That's why I'm grateful for everything God does in my life. Amen,
18:17
Speaker 1: because I know it was only Him that allowed me
18:20
Speaker 1: to get what I have. And I treasure what I have,
18:23
Speaker 1: not over how I treasure him, but I know it's
18:26
Speaker 1: because it was because of Him that gave me a
18:29
Speaker 1: breakthrough that I could get things that allow me to
18:31
Speaker 1: do what I do, not for me only, but for
18:34
Speaker 1: other ministries and other families as well. Amen. During the
18:38
Speaker 1: shutdown in covid So, which is uncertain, riches are uncertain,
18:44
Speaker 1: But to put their hope in God. I always tell
18:47
Speaker 1: people to do that. Amen. I believe it. I do
18:49
Speaker 1: it every day. Put my hope and trust in the
18:50
Speaker 1: Lord every single day. Amen. I suggest you do the
18:53
Speaker 1: same thing. Good morning, sister Joanne, I see you. Good morning,
18:56
Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devot. Put your
19:00
Speaker 1: hope in God who richly provides us with everything for
19:04
Speaker 1: our enjoyment. Whoa the God said we can enjoy life
19:09
Speaker 1: or do we have to be like just frigid and square.
19:14
Speaker 1: You can't go to movies, you can't go listen to music,
19:16
Speaker 1: you can't dance, listen. I'm a dj and I crave
19:21
Speaker 1: Christian dancing. Amen. I want to see Christians dance. Ay man,
19:25
Speaker 1: Why we don't dance no more? In my territory, in
19:27
Speaker 1: my community, is not a lot of dancing going on.
19:32
Speaker 1: But I have a pastor, my pastor's wife. Amen, she
19:37
Speaker 1: could dance, and she loves to dance. And the people
19:40
Speaker 1: around her that support a woman of God, they dance also.
19:43
Speaker 1: I love it. Let's dance. Let's celebrate life. Amen. We
19:46
Speaker 1: should be the most celebratory people on the whole entire planet.
19:51
Speaker 1: We should be full of joy. We should be enjoying
19:53
Speaker 1: life because we have the guy who created us with
19:56
Speaker 1: this joy in our hearts. Joy, joy, joy, right down
20:01
Speaker 1: in my heart, we have it. So we should be dancing. Man,
20:04
Speaker 1: having a good time, I know. But other sects, sects,
20:10
Speaker 1: sects of Christianity says, no, we're not. You shouldn't be dancing.
20:15
Speaker 1: You know. That's some golly, you know. So let's come on, man,
20:19
Speaker 1: let's light you up. Let's be joyful. Let's be secure
20:23
Speaker 1: in Jesus Christ. Let's be secure in Him. Let's not
20:26
Speaker 1: worry about the rules and regulations that we're kind of
20:29
Speaker 1: like putting on top of ourselves. We're dead to the law.
20:34
Speaker 1: The law is still here, absolutely, but we are dead
20:37
Speaker 1: to it. So you know, take that for what it is.
20:42
Speaker 1: So about the love of Moses, not the love of
20:44
Speaker 1: the land. Amen, We're not dead to the Lord of
20:46
Speaker 1: the land. We follow the laws of the land, and
20:48
Speaker 1: we follow the law of the Lord Jesus. Amen. And
20:50
Speaker 1: the New Covenant Church and the love of Moses still stands.
20:54
Speaker 1: But when we got born again, we're dead to that law.
20:58
Speaker 1: Take it for what it is. Look it up and scriptures.
21:00
Speaker 1: Is there, Book of Hebrews. But man, let's go for it.
21:06
Speaker 1: Enjoy life. Be secure, not in your possessions, not what
21:10
Speaker 1: you have, because that will stretch you out. Imagine your
21:13
Speaker 1: security is only found in your possessions. And then when
21:16
Speaker 1: those possessions get stolen, or if those possessions break or
21:20
Speaker 1: you know, if you have a nice car, you're like, Wow,
21:21
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cherish his car. You're taking care of it.
21:24
Speaker 1: You did everything you've done. I'm speaking from experience. You
21:27
Speaker 1: do everything for that car, man, maintenance, everything, and it
21:30
Speaker 1: still breaks down on you. Amen. Because you found some
21:32
Speaker 1: kind of security in that, be careful with that. That's
21:36
Speaker 1: not true security. True security. Security is the one who
21:40
Speaker 1: gives you security, the one keeps you safe, the one
21:43
Speaker 1: gives your patience, love, long suffering, endurance. Amen, he gives
21:47
Speaker 1: you joy, man, and he's loved. That's God himself. Good
21:51
Speaker 1: morning is his choice. I see you, God, bless you,
21:53
Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. Yes, welcome back to the morning, Devo.
21:56
Speaker 1: It's good to see my sister and my friend. So
21:59
Speaker 1: Isaiah about this one, Isaiah fifty eight versus number eleven.
22:05
Speaker 1: The Lord will guide you always? How long would the
22:09
Speaker 1: Lord guide us always? He will satisfy your needs in
22:15
Speaker 1: a sun scorched land and will strengthen your frame like
22:20
Speaker 1: in times of hard hardship. He will strengthen us. Time
22:25
Speaker 1: that it seems like you're like the milk and honey
22:30
Speaker 1: is not flowing no more, time that it feels like
22:32
Speaker 1: it's like a drought, the Lord will strengthen your frame.
22:37
Speaker 1: You will be like a well warded garden, like a
22:42
Speaker 1: spring whose waters never fail. That security, we could be
22:48
Speaker 1: secure in that, knowing that God is there. He's with you,
22:51
Speaker 1: he's in you, he's working through you. You can't get
22:54
Speaker 1: any closer to God. I know a lot of people
22:56
Speaker 1: like say, we had to get closer to the Lord. Listen, God,
22:58
Speaker 1: listen side of us. I don't know how closer he
23:01
Speaker 1: could be. Amen, I just don't know how closer God
23:04
Speaker 1: could be when He lives inside of every single believer
23:08
Speaker 1: in Christ. We have communion with Jesus himself. Can't get
23:13
Speaker 1: any closer than that alone time with God. What does
23:17
Speaker 1: that mean? Amen? You want a lone time with God.
23:20
Speaker 1: We're having a lone time right now. Visually we are
23:24
Speaker 1: being spoken to by Holy Spirit God. We're devoting our
23:28
Speaker 1: first part of the day to a holy Spirit God
23:31
Speaker 1: through his word, Amen, and through fellowship. We're on communion.
23:36
Speaker 1: We are so in touch with the Lord. We are clean,
23:40
Speaker 1: and we are safe, and we are secure and we
23:43
Speaker 1: are close. Amen. Don't think that you have to do
23:47
Speaker 1: something outside of what we're doing right now. Get into
23:51
Speaker 1: the word, fellowship, praying. We're doing it all right here
23:54
Speaker 1: in the morning. Devote. We prayed first, we introduced each other.
23:58
Speaker 1: We're fellowship and through the Word Amen, now we're being
24:01
Speaker 1: strengthened in the powered and got it by Holy Spirit God.
24:05
Speaker 1: We got it, We got it. Continue to do what
24:08
Speaker 1: you're doing right now. Amen. You could do this all
24:11
Speaker 1: day if you have a job you could do some
24:14
Speaker 1: mental prayers. You don't always have to speak it out
24:16
Speaker 1: of your mouth. If he want so, you can, right,
24:20
Speaker 1: but you don't always have to. God knows us. He
24:23
Speaker 1: knows us intimately. He wants a relationship with his children,
24:26
Speaker 1: and we are his children. And by the way, a
24:29
Speaker 1: lot of people say, oh, we're all God's children and
24:31
Speaker 1: they're not part of the kingdom of God. They're saying
24:34
Speaker 1: a saying right now, it makes sense, but it's not
24:38
Speaker 1: true because the Bible says only the Lord Jesus Christ
24:41
Speaker 1: gives us the rights to be called what children of God.
24:46
Speaker 1: It's exclusive privilege, amen to be a part of God's
24:51
Speaker 1: family through what the Lord Jesus did. So, going back
24:55
Speaker 1: to Luke chapter twelve, when Jesus says, then he said
24:59
Speaker 1: to them, I'm telling you watch out. Be on your
25:04
Speaker 1: guard against all kinds of greed. When you have a
25:07
Speaker 1: lot of things. Sometimes the way people get a lot
25:12
Speaker 1: of things is because they take a lot of things
25:14
Speaker 1: from other people's opportunities to get what they have. So
25:19
Speaker 1: in corporate America, you see that all the time. They're
25:21
Speaker 1: climbing up the ladder of success, and anybody in their way,
25:26
Speaker 1: they're gonna step over or step on. That's the way
25:30
Speaker 1: corporate America is that shouldn't be in a church. Should
25:33
Speaker 1: not be in the church. Any church. I'm saying to church,
25:37
Speaker 1: I mean the congregation, the leadership of the congregation, because
25:41
Speaker 1: we are the church, the body of Christ. Amen, and
25:44
Speaker 1: shouldn't be corporate America. Should not be responsible for our
25:49
Speaker 1: increase in any which way. Amen. The Lord will provide
25:53
Speaker 1: the increase if we're securing him. Amen. We have security
25:57
Speaker 1: in his word, his power, his love, his grace, and
25:59
Speaker 1: his mercy. A man, his promises. What about his promises?
26:03
Speaker 1: Don't forget about God's promise over your life and over
26:06
Speaker 1: my life. And it could be multiple promises. Wait on them.
26:09
Speaker 1: Trust God. If you heard him promise you something, those
26:13
Speaker 1: promises will one hundred percent come to pass. I know it.
26:17
Speaker 1: I've experienced it. I know people who have experienced it.
26:20
Speaker 1: I know testimonies from people all around the country, all
26:23
Speaker 1: around the world who could testify of this being true.
26:27
Speaker 1: That excites us. And we have security in God. We
26:30
Speaker 1: have security and his promises. We have security in His word,
26:34
Speaker 1: not in our possessions. A lot of times, possessions will
26:37
Speaker 1: cause us to be greedy. We will want more of
26:39
Speaker 1: those possessions. Want more of this, more of that, more cars,
26:42
Speaker 1: more houses, more fame, more fortune. A man and God
26:46
Speaker 1: saying no, that's not true. Security, watch out, Jesus says,
26:50
Speaker 1: don't be greedy. He says, a man's life does not
26:54
Speaker 1: consist in the abundance of his possessions. That's the message today,
27:00
Speaker 1: the number twelve. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Amen,
27:03
Speaker 1: and I hope you have a great day. I'm out
27:05
Speaker 1: of time, but thank you so much for hanging out
27:07
Speaker 1: with me on these morning DeVos. It's a pleasure, honor.
27:11
Speaker 1: I'm humbled by it, and I'm blessed by it, and
27:13
Speaker 1: I hope you're blessed as well. God bless you all.
27:15
Speaker 1: Got to keep you all and remember always that God
27:18
Speaker 1: is good. Peace.
