0:04
Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the Morning Devo. It's
0:06
your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sam Rock, and you're listening or watching the
0:11
Morning Devo Mondays through Fridays five thirty am Eastern Standing time right here at Live
0:17
dot so winners with a z dot org or simply celebrating Network Soul winners with
0:22
a z dot org. Welcome back to a new week, a new time,
0:26
a new start, or refresher. Amen, however you want to call
0:30
this, this is something that's going to bless your life if you really get
0:33
into the Word of God first part of your date, maybe last part of
0:37
your day, depending on your time zone. Amen. The goal is here
0:41
for us to get into the Word of God for ourselves, so that way
0:45
we could see the unadulterated Word of God without any kind of what do you
0:51
call those things stigmas, or without any kind of biases or religion on it,
0:58
just the simple, powerful Word of God that can transform your life.
1:03
The Bible itself says that the Word of God is alive, sharpen than any
1:07
double edged sword, and the Word of God is able to pierce our souls.
1:11
Amen, and do what the Word says it would do in our heart
1:15
set in our lives. Today, we're going to talk about adulthood. Adulthood.
1:22
When are we going to go into adulthood in our natural life and in
1:26
our supernatural life? Amen. Adulthood is a thing, and I know the
1:32
generations call it adulting, Amen. Or what they really mean is that they
1:36
are no longer children now. They went from childhood to adulthood. Amen.
1:41
And we're all from the hood, either manhood, womanhood, adulthood, childhood.
1:46
Amen, We're all from a hood. So we want to talk about
1:49
adulthood according to the scriptures, according to the Word of God here on the
1:53
morning Devo. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or
1:57
any prayer requests, don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's
2:00
what we're here for. Amen. And I hope or pray that you will
2:02
be blessed today by what we're going to talk about. We're gonna be and
2:07
First Corinthians, chapter number thirteen, verse number eleven. First Corinthians, Chapter
2:15
number thirteen, Verse eleven. You know Jesus himself, our Lord, my
2:21
Lord, my savior, Jesus himself developed into a man into an adult.
2:28
Amen. So that's a hint for us a man and a clue to us
2:31
that Christ Jesus, the Word that became flesh, grew up and statute the
2:38
Bible says, So what's your excuse and what's my excuse for not doing the
2:44
same. Let's grow up. Let's be who God calls us to be.
2:47
Amen's in a supernatural realm. It's more powerful, in my opinion than the
2:53
natural realm, because whatever happens supernaturally will happen in the natural. Jesus developed
2:59
from a youth to an adult. With maturity comes new responsibilities. And with
3:06
the Word of God, and with the salvation of God, and with the
3:09
implantation or revelation or impartation of the Word in our lives. Amen, we
3:15
become adults. And because we're grown up or growing up in the faith,
3:23
we get new responsibilities. Because the whole part of the Christianity. Amen.
3:29
According to the scriptures is that we become new creatures. We're no longer the
3:32
old We're no longer acting like children anymore. We are growing up in the
3:38
faith and knowledge of a holy God, and his name is the Lord Jesus.
3:42
First community is thirteen eleven. Amen, We're gonna pray first, after
3:45
we pray, we'll share this out for like thirty seconds, amen, And
3:49
for excuse me, not thirty seconds, sixty seconds. We shared this out,
3:53
and after the sixty seconds is over, we'll come back on the other
3:54
side and we'll get right into today's Morningdivo adulthood and men. You ready,
4:00
I'm ready. Let's go for it. Let's pray, and then we'll share.
4:02
Father, thank you so much for allowing me to grow in my faith,
4:08
and for allowing all my brothers and sisters in the faith to continue to
4:11
grow in the grace and knowledge of who you are. Thank you, Lord
4:15
God, that we are no longer the same as we were when we met
4:17
you. Lord God, you have transformed us, changed us. We have
4:23
been growing in our faith. We have reading your word. We have been
4:26
reading your word, and we're inspired by your Holy Spirit. Thank you,
4:29
Lord God, Holy Spirit, God for teaching us how to grow up and
4:33
showing us what the differences between being a child and thinking like a child,
4:38
and being an adult and acting like an adult and thinking like an adult according
4:43
to your scriptures. I pray peace over every single heart, soul, and
4:46
mind right now in the name of Jesus. I ask lot God, that
4:48
you would guard God and protect me and my family and my household, our
4:53
children, look God, our ministry, our businesses and organizations that we're part
4:59
of, our church. Thank you, Lord God for guiding, guarding and
5:00
protecting us, and that you would do Little God the same for every single
5:03
person that's listening and watching to this Morning Devo, and those who are on
5:10
it right now, on it right now or will listen or watch later on.
5:14
I pray a head of protection over them in the power of the name
5:17
of Jesus. And I set forth arkman angels, minister angels, worry angels,
5:21
to annihilate the tactics of the enemy. The plans of the enemy will
5:26
be foiled and will be destroyed by the power of your word in Jesus name.
5:30
I prayer is by faith, and all those who agreed we say Amen
5:33
and Amen. So let's take a sixty second break. Help me share this
5:38
out today. We're talking about adulthood on the Morning Devo, which you bro
5:42
saying, little Pez. I'll be right back. Amen. Amen, We're
7:27
back. Let's go for it. Let's see what the word of Guy has
7:30
for us to date. Amen. As I get the word of Guy on
7:32
the screen. For those who are listening on Celebrator Network and on the podcast,
7:36
thank you so much. I'm going to continuing to listen into these Morning
7:41
DeVos. I took pretty much a week off and not really Amen, because
7:47
that was our ministry for a whole week, live outdoors, Amen, So
7:53
therefore we're here. At the time it was recording the heat. We had
7:57
a heat wave and that heat was beating me up a man being outside all
8:01
that time. I'm not as young as I used to be, Amen,
8:03
so that heat hits different now as I'm out there ministering. But so I
8:09
took the week. We were still online, we were still on the Morning
8:13
Devo, but I had some pre records up want to celebrate on network.
8:16
So when those things happen, you won't know, Amen, unless you're a
8:22
part of my email list or my text alerts, and you will get the
8:24
information behind the scenes of what's going on when I'm not live anymore. That's
8:28
why I always ask people continue to pray for me and my family. I
8:31
continue to pray for you and your family because one day could change everything.
8:35
Tomorrow could be so different in your life and my life. So but if
8:39
we hold each other in prayer. Amen, we would know that we have
8:43
support systems Amen, that we could rely on. But the frank God bless
8:46
you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome to the Morning Divo,
8:48
my brother and my friends. So let's go for it. Let me get
8:50
this ready for the screens that to miss out anything. I'm gonna literally read
8:56
a word for word, literally read word for word on what we're seeing on
9:01
the screen. If you're not able to watch the Morning Devo or you're just
9:05
listening, that's a great thing as well. Amen to listening to the word
9:09
of God. Right. How do you get your faith built up? How
9:13
do you get the message of the Gospel. How do you, you know,
9:18
pretty much get the word of God in your life is by hearing the
9:22
word of God. Amen, And you'll get the faith, the boldness,
9:26
the courage, the confidence. Amen, and you'll get everything you need my
9:30
hearing and not just hearing the word of God, but applying what you're hearing,
9:33
Amen, and doing what you heard from the Word of God. Amen.
9:37
So let's go for it. Adulthood, Morning Devo. We're hearing full
9:43
effect. First Corinthians shot the number thirteen verse number eleven. Amen, our
9:48
head will no longer be in the clouds when we grow up. That's why
9:52
I put that graphic there. Listen. First Corinthians, chapter thirteen, verse
9:56
eleven. Was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like
10:05
a child. I reasoned like a child. When I became a man,
10:09
I did a way with childish things. Very clear. The apostle pau inspired
10:15
by Holy Spirit, wrote this down for the church in corinth and he's writing
10:20
it down for us to see now. And we're looking at it as the
10:22
church when we were children. Hey man, And of course this doesn't apply.
10:28
If you're a child, you're still a child. You're still going to
10:31
think like a child. My three year old is not going to think the
10:35
same way as my thirty one year old, right, so they're gonna be
10:41
thinking differently. So when I was a child, I talked like a child.
10:48
And what did that mean, Ladies and gentlemen, We probably babbled,
10:50
probably didn't make a lot of sense when we first got into faith. Right,
10:54
the Bible says the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing. So
10:58
when I first got said as a babe in Christ, I went after my
11:01
family, I went after my friends. I was telling everybody they need to
11:05
turn to the Lord. Amen. Even though that's true. But the way
11:09
I was speaking, the way I was thinking about it, my thought process
11:13
about it was like a child because I was a new born believer, right,
11:20
grown man, got saved at the age of thirty years old, grown
11:24
man, But I had a child faith. So when I was a child,
11:28
I talked like a child. When you was a child, you talk
11:31
like a child as well. I thought like a child. I reasoned like
11:37
a child. My reasoning, Amen, was childish. Even as a born
11:41
again believer, as a grown man with a new life, a new faith
11:46
in Christ, I reasoned like a child when I became a man. In
11:52
other words, when you grow up, and this is not only for men,
11:54
obviously, this is for women as well. When we grow up,
11:58
we start doing away with the things that were childish, or at least we
12:03
should, and we continue to grow in the faith, in the knowledge of
12:07
the Lord Jesus, powerful man. We don't stay the same. There's nothing
12:13
same about the Gospel and our hearts and our lives. We are so different
12:18
from who we were before Jesus rescued and saved us. Think about it.
12:24
There's nothing that we could do to earn the grace of God. But there's
12:30
everything we could faith in Jesus to get saved. In other words, are
12:37
reasoning changes. I literally knew a person who said God saved him because God
12:45
needed him in the Kingdom of God. That's one of those childish thoughts,
12:50
a childish way of reasoning. I would never say that God needs me amen
12:58
for the Kingdom of God. I would say I need him and the Kingdom
13:01
of God to live this life out. If I didn't have God, Holy
13:05
Spirit, Son of God in my heart and in my life, this will
13:11
never happen. And what I mean this my changed life, my transformed life
13:16
would not be transformed. And people who go around saying if they told me
13:20
this when I was a child and the faith that I was irriagy so because
13:24
of my already goodness, ain't ben I'm just booming along and helping the Holy
13:28
Spirit is helping me live the life I was living. Anyway, That's false.
13:33
There's no way I could have changed my own life. And the goodness
13:39
that they're talking about was the goodness according to the world standards, and God
13:43
says clearly in his word, and then none of us are good, none
13:48
of us are good. So where do we get this goodness from? Well,
13:52
we get it from Holy Spirit God. It's obvious. There should be
13:56
no what you call it confers usion about that. Get our goodness from the
14:03
one who is only good, the one and only Lord, who is the
14:09
only one who is good. Amen, We'll give you some bonus scriptures here.
14:15
Remember in the beginning I said Jesus developed from a youth to an adult.
14:20
The Word of God says that in Luke chapter two, verse fifty two.
14:26
Luke chapter two, verse fifty two. The Word of God says,
14:28
and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God, and men
14:35
are process. Strangely enough, people want to get saved and get right into
14:41
ministry right away, right and be praised by men, and they go after
14:48
it. Famous people do that all the time. When the famous Kanye West
14:54
got supposedly gave his life to the Lord, he started doing these big what
14:58
he called Sunday services, big productions, and that's what they were. Anybody
15:05
who dared to look at the obvice and say, wait, he just he
15:09
just said he gave his life to the Lord, and why is he already
15:11
in ministry and why is he already full fledged doing full fledged productions because we
15:18
or I wouldn't say all of us, but some of us noticed that what
15:22
he was saying was inaccurate. He was a babe in the faith if he
15:26
was saved, right, so we had to give him time. But people
15:30
were like, no, man, don't judge him. God's gonna use him
15:33
to save the whole generation. Right. And what happened we used, when
15:41
I say we, the people that said they were in the kingdom of God
15:45
that allowed all of that to happen right in his life instead of loving him,
15:50
telling them truth and say, hey, man, you're a child and
15:52
the faith. You know, you have to process things, have to learn
15:56
the word and then before you go out there and start, you know,
16:00
doing your thing. Instead of that happening, No, the people who were
16:06
concerned, the brothers and sisters who were concerned for a soul were still concerned
16:10
for a soul. A man praying for the brother say, oh, you're
16:12
judging him. Who are you for you to say that God can use him?
16:18
Right? And we went through all that and it kind of like divided
16:22
some of us in the church. But if Jesus grew in wisdom, and
16:26
stature. I think we should grow in wisdom and stature too. Is an
16:32
example. Jesus, our lord Amen, took time to grow by choice because
16:37
he's God. But the word became flesh and dwelt among his people, showing
16:44
us the perfect example of how to live this out. About this one,
16:48
First Timothy, chapter number four, verse twelve. First Simothy, chapter four,
16:52
verse twelve. Don't let anyone and I know a lot of young people
16:56
quote this Amen rightfully so, but we have to be careful even when we
17:02
quote the scripture, and we can't act like when we're just saved, that
17:06
we could go to the elders of the church and let them know about themselves,
17:10
right, First Sempathy four to twelve. Don't let anyone look down on
17:14
you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech,
17:22
in life, in love and faith, and in purity. Man,
17:27
whatever happened to purity, I can't believe it, Like I just can't believe
17:33
like what happened to the message of purity not too long ago. I got
17:38
saved around twenty something years ago, now, right. I used to hear
17:45
messages about purity right and being pure sexually, morally, pure heart, pure
17:53
mind, conscience, all that the messages about basically the gift for us,
17:59
the spirit, right to walk in that, to walk in that holiness,
18:03
to walk in the righteousness of God, the purity, Amen and men.
18:07
Those messages helped me a lot. And then, for whatever reason, I
18:12
would say, the last the last five years, at least in my spirits,
18:18
in the territory that I'm at and the preachers I'm hearing and the teachings
18:22
I'm hearing, that purity message man is hidden somewhere. Could it be because
18:26
the people who are preaching don't dare go to that subject because they have impure
18:33
thoughts on impure lives, or they're living in immorality, misin preached the gospel
18:38
because guess what, I could hide whatever I want to hide. But that
18:42
doesn't mean I have to not speak on scripture. Amen, because you heard
18:47
it. You heard it right. I will only preach what I lived.
18:51
I will only teach what I lived. And that's some kind of arrogant in
18:55
my opinion, my humble opinion, because I'm like, I'm never died on
18:59
a cross, but I'm a preach across of Jesus Christ. I sinned right
19:03
and I deal with sin or that doesn't mean I'm not gonna say, don't
19:07
sin according to what the scripture says and the consequences of sin. So we
19:11
have to just read the scriptures, believe the scriptures, teach the scriptures,
19:17
preach the scriptures, a man preach the Gospel. And even if we're not
19:21
there yet, and man by faith, we're gonna get there. We're gonna
19:23
go to a process of learning, through the process of growing of wisdom and
19:29
stature, and because of that we'll get favor with God and with men.
19:33
I don't think we get favored with God and men just immediately, because I
19:38
know it didn't happen for me. What about you when you first got saved,
19:41
that you immediately have favored with men and with the church and with everybody.
19:47
And in my experience, when I first got saved and then have faith,
19:52
I have favor with God because yes, he rescued me, saved me,
19:55
transform me, renew me, redeem me, restored me a man,
19:57
and was teaching me his word. But I didn't automatically have favor with men.
20:02
I wish it would have been like that, it would have been a
20:04
quick fix. But God, it's not a quick fix. He's an eternal
20:07
God that saves us, transforms us, and news us, and restores us.
20:11
Brother, Holy God, bless you man. Welcome to the morning,
20:14
Devo, Good morning God, blessed God. Blessed men. Yeah, yeah,
20:21
blessed man. I am because of the blesser that I'm preaching about.
20:25
And you're a blessed to sir. Thank you so much. So. We
20:29
see that Jesus himself developed from a youth to an adult, and with that
20:33
maturity comes new responsibilities. I don't have the same responsibilities that I used to
20:38
have when I was a kid, I had less responsibilities. That's why people
20:42
say the good old days. I think people say the good old days when
20:47
we're talking about when we were young. I think it's because we had less
20:48
responsibilities. The same problems were in the world, and now it's even worse,
20:55
and it's going to get even worse. Ladies and gentlemen. I know
20:57
you probably hearing preaches us say it's gonna get better. We're gonna have a
21:00
big revival and this then and the third and it's gonna be so peaceful and
21:04
all that. And I hope they're not prophesying that, because the scriptures say
21:08
something different. It's gonna get worse. It's gonna be the end time,
21:12
right, the end time eschatology prophecies. All that is happening right in front
21:18
of our eyes. So although the darkness is gonna get darker and it's gonna
21:22
get worse, and morality is gonna sweep the nation and people gonna turn good
21:26
into bad and bad into good, we see it happening. Woma's war,
21:32
we see the famines. We see all this stuff going on in the world.
21:37
Right, and this other preacher saying, Oh, it's gonna be okay,
21:40
It is gonna be okay. But this world system is corrupted. As
21:44
a matter of fact, it's so bad that when Jesus comes back, he's
21:48
coming back with a new what, a new Heaven and a new Earth.
21:52
So he's gonna reset the time. He's gonna reset life. He's gonna reset
21:56
this world. Hey man. But in the meantime, let's grow and be
22:00
adults in the scriptures in the Kingdom of God. Let's go into adulthood.
22:04
Let's show this world what the Lord has done in our lives. Let's testify
22:08
his goodness and of his might and of his grace, of his spirit,
22:11
of his love, of his grace and his mercy. Let's testify about Jesus.
22:17
Amen. And that will help us grow up in our faith. And
22:21
whether we're young or not. Amen, We're not gonna let anyone, like
22:25
the Bible says, don't let anyone look down on us because we're young in
22:29
the faith. I'm just a young adult in the faith. I'm in my
22:33
twenties in the faith. Some people are in their fifties in the faith.
22:36
They've been saved fifty sixty years Amen. Others just got saved yesterday. Others
22:41
will get saved today. Amen. So let's love one another into the faith
22:45
and continue to encourage one another to read the manual, read the scriptures,
22:51
and stick to the scriptures. Amen. We can't make nothing up. We
22:53
can't reinvent this and reinvent that. Amen. We're gonna mess everything up if
22:59
we try to do minytry our way. Let's do ministry the way God wants
23:03
us to do ministry. Amen. And although we will be on the cutting
23:07
edge edge, we will be innovative. We will be doing things that the
23:11
world won't understand. We will be doing things that even some church establishments won't
23:17
understand. Alone, don't let anybody look down on you because you're young in
23:22
the faith. Amen, But set an example for the believers into what you
23:26
say in your speech and how you live in your life and in love,
23:30
how you love one another and in faith, right, how you believe?
23:34
We trust God. We don't have to see something before we believe something when
23:38
God speaks to us. And impurity, Please, if you're living a sexually
23:45
moral life or imperial life in areas, maybe you steal from people, maybe
23:48
you did this, maybe do that. You can stop right now by the
23:52
power of Holy Spirit God, repent, turn from that and turn to the
23:56
righteousness of God and move on from there. Amen. Let's talk about purity
24:00
again. Please. I have daughters, Amen, and my plea to you
24:03
is be like, can you teach my daughters about purity. We're trying our
24:08
best as parents, me and my wife, and show them a purer marriage,
24:12
right, show them that there's no cursing in my home, Thank you
24:17
Jesus. Amen. We haven't cursed in years, Thank you Lord. That's
24:21
the power of Holy Spirit. But you know what I mean, I could
24:23
use some help young ladies in the faith. Amen. If you want to
24:29
speak messages of purity. Amen, you want to come on on Live with
24:33
Me, Amen, on any of my shows and talk about purity. Amen.
24:37
That would be a blessing because that message I haven't heard in a while.
24:41
If you have heard that message about purity recently, Amen, and it's
24:45
biblically sound, send the links to me, please, and I'll make sure
24:49
I'll connect with those people and maybe interview them. Amen. Purity is huge,
24:53
especially in the culture we're living in now. The young need to know
24:56
about what purity according to the Scripture is. Amen, and listen, I'm
25:02
taking all the burden and all the pressure off the leaders, maybe young ladies,
25:06
maybe young men that are up on those pulpits and they're struggling with some
25:11
kind of immorality or whatever. Take that weight off your shoulders. Right,
25:15
that's between you and God. But preach who you want to be, be
25:19
an adult, a man, even if you're not an adult in the faith.
25:23
What I mean is I'm not saying fake, it's you make I'm saying
25:26
preach the word of God. Speak the word of God and you will see
25:30
what was going to happen. Why your soul will follow because the word of
25:33
God is powerful, The word of God is active and alive a man.
25:37
So when we declare what the Word is saying, we can't go wrong.
25:41
But if we're trying to dodge, I can't talk about this because I don't
25:45
live that way. I can't sorry about this because I'm failing in that area.
25:48
I can't say. Then you're I don't know what kind of game you're
25:51
playing with the scriptures. Listen, when I look at the scriptures, Yes,
25:55
the challenges me pretty much all the time. But I'm gonna read the
25:59
scriptures any I'm a teacher scriptures anyway, I'm a pre suscriptures anyway. Because
26:03
it's not my word that's on the line. It's the word of God that's
26:07
on the line. Amen. And I'm just repeating what the Word says.
26:11
Psalms shot the seventy one verse five. Psalm seventy one five says for you
26:15
have been my hope, Old sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.
26:22
Amen. So when you're young in the Lord, Amen, you begin to
26:26
develop this confidence and who God is in your life personally, in your life
26:30
publicly, in your life in ministry, and your life outside the ministry,
26:34
and your life in the church, and your life outside of the church.
26:37
He becomes your confidence, and that starts when you're young. Amen. And
26:44
when you have a relationship with God, Amen, that relationship flourishes, it
26:48
develops, you become When you know more about God through his word, Amen,
26:52
you're to fall in love more and more and more with Him. And
26:56
the whole argument that I'm hearing that it's an old argument, by the way,
27:00
about God being immoral. It's nonsense. Amen. People are trying to
27:06
judge you what God did in the Old Covenant and say that's wrong and how
27:10
could God do this? How could God do that? And that's just an
27:14
escape, escapeism tactic for what they're doing in their lives that's immoral. So
27:18
they say, well, I'm okay what people are saying. I'm okay,
27:22
and I'm moral, but God is immoral. So therefore, because God's immoral,
27:26
I'm not going to follow him. It's an escape, a way of
27:30
escaping the reality of people who are not born again, people who are not
27:33
saying, people who are arrogant. They're living a life on their own and
27:38
they're telling everybody, I don't need your God because I have this on my
27:41
own. And yes they do, and God loves them so much that he
27:45
will allow them. He doesn't force nobody to serve him, he will allow
27:48
them to live that way. Amen. Unfortunately, that way is not going
27:52
to work. The ways of this world always lead to destruction and depth.
27:56
First comment Things thirteen. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Amen, lot
28:00
of time, but listen. Thank you so much for giving me your time,
28:03
giving me your ears, giving me your eyes. And I prayed that
28:06
you have a blessed day and a blessed week. So God bless you all.
28:08
God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
