  Speaker 1: But I'm counting on God and I'm waiting upon the Lord,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Amen for that to happen. I know theree people out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: there that's like minded with me, Amen, they're probably just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: not speaking up. Speak up.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Let's get the gospel out to as many people as
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we can in our region and around the nations.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So that way God will be glorified even more than
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: where we could glorify Him by.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Ourselves here on this network.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We need people who are like minded, who are strong
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and wise, who are able and willing right to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a part of what God is doing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And so when it's ink, Amen, So I know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That's somebody right there, and you might be thinking, well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: what's in it for me, Well, let's talk, let's chat,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: let's have a conversation, Amen, and let's go win soles
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: or for the Kingdom of God. Determining God's will involve
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: seeking the counsel of strong Christians who are wise. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: think there's such thing as strong Christians, and I think
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there's such thing as we Christians.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And I also know for sure that I could go
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to people who are wise, wise and strong. Today Ana
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Mon and Divo are strong and wise because we need
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: each other. There's no way we can do this by ourselves.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: There's no way that we could figure out situations in
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: life that are just all about us. Someone else is
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: always in the equation. Have you ever noticed whether you're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: going through a good time or bad time, there's always
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: some other people involved in those times. Never buy yourself.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You never wake up one day and say I'm having
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a bad day by yourself.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It's never. Never.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Someone or something is a cause of a bad day.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Someone or something is the cause of a good day.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But we have an ultimate cause.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: We have God.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Amen, uncaused cause, we have God. I don't want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: put that on to straighten anybody's brain, But God is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the uncaused cause.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: No one created God and man.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: God is creator, and he is the strongest and he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is the wisest. But he uses also uses people, uses
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: counsels counselors to counsel us into the right path, into
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the right direction. And he does it all the time.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It does so good, it does so gently. Amen, And
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: he's just an amazing God. Let me try to get
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: my website over here to get the video on the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: website as well. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: or any prayer requests, don't hesitate to leave it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: On a live chat. That's what we're here for. Amen.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Let me just check the audio on my radio.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Network on Yeah, that's good, trying to pump it up
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: real quick to make sure everything's good.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I have nobody monitoring it for me. It's too early.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're an early bird and you want
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to monitor, help me monitor a man. We could talk
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about that too. I could use a morning person that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: wants to help out over here in the network and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: man as an intern, and we'll take it from there.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's pray first. After we pray,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we shut us out for like sixty seconds. On the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get right into
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: strong and wise. Our scripture for today is Proverbs chapter fifteen,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter fifteen, Verse number twenty two. And we in
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: effect man the word of God. Right Without the word,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what do we have?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Literally?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Without God's word and his will and his promises and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: his life giving transforming power, where.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Would we be?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Where would we be without the grace of God?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Where I would be right now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I have an idea, but I'm not going to speak
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it out of my mouth where I would be right
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: now if there would be right now for me, if
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I would have continually gone the other way and not
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: been strong enough and wise or not been going.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: To stronger Christians or strong.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: People and wise people for counsel, I don't know what
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: would have been the situation in scenario right. It would
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have not been a good day, it would not been
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a good year, would not have been a good life, to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: be honest, Amen, But we're here, and I'm really grateful
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for what God does in these times that we have
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: together and man in the short time that we have
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: together literally in life. So Father, I thank you so much.

• 5:44
  Speaker 1: holy God, and you just God. I pray, Lord God,

• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a holy spirit, and when necessarily you strong and wise

  Speaker 1: believers in your word to help us through. There's always someone,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Lord God greater, There's always someone wiser, There's always someone
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with more experience. There's always a seasoned person that you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: put in our lives for a reason, and a purpose,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and not to put them as an idol, and not
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to give.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Them all the glory, because you get all the glory, but.

  Speaker 1: To show up in our lives to help us to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: go forward in life and have confidence and the decisions

• 6:28
  Speaker 1: way of the Holy Spirit, that you continue to do that,

• 11:22
  Speaker 1: getting ready for work, or whatever the case. So you

  Speaker 1: we are there and also on the podcast. When it's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: all over, a man turns into a podcast, so you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: can listen to it later a man at your convenience,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Brother Orlando got blessed, Bro, welcome back to the Morning
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Devo's good to see you on the Morning Devo. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and put this on the screen. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: there we are strong and wise. It's always a shadow, right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: In order for there to be a shadow, it has
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to be light. God shines the light upon our lives
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a man, and that light creates a shadow, a shadow
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of things to come. We walk in the valley of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the shadow of death because we're alive, walking through it, Amen,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and through that we become strong and wise.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: And when we allow.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Others in our lives that are strong and wise, that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: connection is powerful, and God gets the glory and honor
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and praise and worship. There's never a day that goes
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: by that, I don't thank God for his life giving work. Proverbs,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen, verse twenty two, the Wisdom of God, using
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: King Solomon and some others to write down the Proverbs
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: without consultation. In other words, with our counsel and wise advice,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: plans are frustrated. But with many counselors they are established
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and succeed.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Anybody that doesn't want to succeed when they make plans.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody want to succeed in life. In
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all areas. We all want to succeed. We all want
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: God's will. We're all seeking counsel. And when we seek counsel,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to seek counsel from strong Christians
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: who are wise.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: If you have a great.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Leadership at your church, if you have a great leadership,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: family and ministry, you know people who have been there
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and done that, and they're seasoned believers, they love Jesus,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: they are being perfected. It's like we are, but they're
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: further along in life. Go ahead, pick their brain, I say, right,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead and use them as counselors without consultation with
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: our counselors and wise advice you'll be frustrated, your plans
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: will be frustrated, and you won't get to the place Amen,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that you want to be. Eventually, you'll get there because
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: God is good. Right, But why way, he said time.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: If you need help, Amen, go get it. Go get
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: your help.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful thing when you connect with strong Christians.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing when you connect with wise Christians, believers,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Christ that are a fire for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Man, we have a flame too. We have
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God, the light of the world. And Jesus said,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: we are the light of the world and assault of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this earth. And when we come together and we do
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: counsel together, and we have wise plans and get this advice, Amen,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and we move on it. Get ready, Amen, things are
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. But the frank good morning, God bless you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning. Devo's good to see you,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my friend and my boro. So that's where I'm at. Man,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I'm thanking God that I have vice counsel. We go
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to meetings. I have men's meetings.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I attended some of the discipleship classes and I'm hoping
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that I could attend and I'm like, man, yeah, discipleship class,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I could always use it refresher Amen on what it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is that God has in my life for my life
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and who he is A man. I love to study
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the life of Jesus. I love to study the scriptures.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: A man is always great and refreshing to hear people
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: express the scriptures according to Holy Spirit living among them
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and in them.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: In their lives. Man.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So disciple class, I was like, man, that's cool to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: have that, Amen, and to continue moving madonavara, God blessed,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: welcome to them on a devo.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Determining God's will right and God's desires and determining determining
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: God's will when we see counsel strong Christians who are
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: wise is.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: An amazing thing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You can see His will and his purpose and others
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and through others while they're living it out while they
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: going through life. Amen, just like we're going through life.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: If you haven't noticed, wise Christians, strong Christians are in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the same world that we're living in. We're in this together.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: There's no one that I could see that's not in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: this world.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: This is a broken world, a falling system.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Politically right, we see that it's broken in the same
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: world we see that as broken, and individuals we see
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that as broken. But who comes and fixes it all up?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Well, Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of Lord,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: so politically the governments will be on his shoulders right
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: on one day. And then individually, we all have different stories,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: we all have different backgrounds. We might have similar stories
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and similar backgrounds and similar locations where we're from, but
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: every single one of us have a different situation going on.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And if we don't seek counsel from strong Christians and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: wise Christians and believers in Christ, then we're just short
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: changing our way.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Because I could use help in areas of my life.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: You can use help in areas in your life. Together, Amen,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: praying to God asking for wisdom, and he will give
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it to us liberally, the Bible says, generously, he will
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: give it to us.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: We don't have excuses. I know I don't have a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: lot of excuses. I ran out of excuses.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Actually, I know there's a guy who loves me, the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: guy who I could turn to. And I know some
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: believers in Christ who've been there, done that, who are
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: further along in their walk, and they could tell me
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of things, Show me a couple of things,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Teach me a couple of things.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Because they are.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Strong and their wives and I want to be strong
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and wise to what about you? Amen, Together we could grow.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: We grow in our faith and in our knowledge of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ. We grow in grace, we grow
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in mercy, we grow in love, Amen, and we grow
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in all areas of our life on this side of eternity.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Because this is the this is the test, and we
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: have a open book tests. We have the Word of
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: God to navigate, and we win and we pass the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: test right because of Jesus open book tests. We navigate
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: this thing called life, Amen, and we have a short
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: time to get what we're doing right. Then we have eternity.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So it's a win win situation. We don't lose when
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: we're among counselors who are filled with Christ, we don't lose.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: When we're among people who are wise and they have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of God, we don't lose. We gain access
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to things that we might not have seen, especially in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the Word. You know, I have spiritual parents that when
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they show up in my house, right, we're just blown
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: away by the wisdom that God has applied in their lives,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: their encouragement right, their counsel.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They're strong and they're wise. Amen.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And they show us some scriptures that I've probably read
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a million times, and they have this revelation Amen, about
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: these scriptures that are mind body. It's a beautiful thing
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to see. And they're married, and they married for a while,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and they'll filled with the glory of God. Do they
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: have issues and problems. Absolutely, Are they going through stuff
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and their families absolutely, And in that they still come
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in and show encouragement, and they come with such peace,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and they come bearing gifts physically, emotionally and spiritually. It's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing to have. If you have people like
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that in your life, Amen, praise the Lord. If you don't, Amen,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: let's pray and God will send the people to you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He'll send the right people in your life in the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: right time, in your situation, and you might just grow
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to love them so much, Amen, that you wouldn't want
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to let them go. I know I don't want to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: let my spiritual leaders go.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I have pastors, I have spiritual parents. I have a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Christ that are further along.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Amen. I have wise.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: People that come into the studio and do on podcasts
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and shows. I grab off their wisdom, Amen, and their strength.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And it's just a powerful thing when you have a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: loving God, a loving father who sends children to other children.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: To build each other up. This is a build up thing.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: This is not a tear down thing. This is not
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I'm up here, you're down there things.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Never that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God, we don't operate like that. The
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: world in corporate America operates like that. Hey, I'm up here.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You will never reach my status, you would never reach
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: my position.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I'm up here.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Know as a brother and sistan in Christ, we're all
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: on the same level.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And we're all worshiping the same God, looking at the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: same Heaven, looking at the same God of Heaven.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Amen. And we're expecting God.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: To really develop something in us that is greater than
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: where we could ever have thought or imagined. And when
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: we do that together. Obviously, I'm only a Christian since
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one. There's people that I know that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: have been Christians since the eighties, since the seventies, right
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: since the nineties. I am coming along. They've been further along,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and they walk.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I love it. Amen.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: And I seek those people out and I ask questions,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and I listen to the experiences with the Lord, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's just a beautiful thing. And they are stronger wise,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that I become strong wise. And then
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: if you're stronger wise, you can make others strong and wise,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and vice versa.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: It's an amazing thing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: That's connection with God by way of his spirit, by
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: way of his word, by way of his people, by
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: way of his wisdom, by way of his strength.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So Proverbs eleven fourteen says that if you go to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: another chapter in Proverbs, this is chapter eleven. So that's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: individually our plans, right, And I say, like, locally, how
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: about nationally Proverbs chapter eleven fourteen. For lack of guidance,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a nation falls, but many advisors make victory sure. Nations
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: right need counsel. And I don't have to speak a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: lot about it. If you're listening or watching and you're
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: in the United States. You're in the United States, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: already know what I'm talking about. And they have to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: go there win election season. And I've never seen so
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: much division, so much anger towards one another. Or you're
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: from that party, we you know, get out from my
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: life and all this from that party. Oh man, I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: can't believe you're not even a Christians. I've heard all
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: kinds of things coming out of brothers and sisters in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Christ's miles. When it comes to politics, that's an amazing thing.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I know for sure that when I get to having
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the lawyer's not gonna ask me, hey, are you a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: republic Democrat, Independent? Who did you vote for? No? I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna have that conversation. So let's be mindful.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Let's be careful brothers and sisters.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: If I chose a party and different from yours politically,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, I guess we're opposed, I guess
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: we're this, and that you're missing the point.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: You're not being strong, not being wise. You're actually being.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Deceived by a world system that it's anti God, a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: world system that's being run by the enemy himself, a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: world system that is broken and falling, and you're going to.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Choose that system over the Kingdom of God.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Let's come together, let's get a grip, amen, Let's love
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: one another through it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: We're not supposed to agree on everything. I don't think so.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: But when we do agree on the main things in
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, on Christ, on the Gospel, and things like that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: We are so better together. Amen.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: If we disagree on political issues or you know what,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: do you lean? You lean this way or you lean
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that way. I like what Pastor Samuel Rodriguez said.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: We don't lean. We stand. Amen.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: We stand on the word of God. We stand on
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the purpose of God. We stand in the will of God.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We stand on God's word. And I think that's where
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: we should all be politically. Okay, we could be on
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the different sides of the table, that's cool, but don't
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: make that a device to divide. Don't help the enemy
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: out and cause the division. This nation is divided United States.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Know it's a divided state, divided States of America, not
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the United States America. And we're honest, we know that
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I probably be a banned for saying this, but God
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: put that on my heart. If you want to be
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: strong and wise, let's go to the scriptures together, amen,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and let's see what the word of God has to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: say about nations and policies and kings and rulership and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: all that. God has a lot to say about governments,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: because guess what He positions everybody, and leadership and governments
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: all around the world and all around the nations.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm out of time.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Listen. I hope you get what I'm saying. Strong and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: wise you could be that you are that in Christ. Amen,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: read Proverbs chap the number fifteen, the whole chapter for yourself,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and have a great day.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: God bless you all.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Peace.
