Authentic Imitationology #67 [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:01
Good morning, Good morning, Family of God. Welcome back to the Morning
0:05
Devo. It's Friday, so you already know what happens. Right, Authentic
0:09
imitationology is in full effect. This is episode number sixty seven, and we're
0:14
moving. Man, this has been something that God told me two words a
0:18
long time ago. While back last year, he gave me two words,
0:22
authentic and imitationology. I was like, authentic means unique, right, imitationlogy
0:31
means to copy, so a copy of a unique, copy of unique.
0:36
And then as the Holy Spirit speaks to you, right start explaining stuff and
0:42
I said, I need an explanation for that, and he says, yes,
0:47
imitating the most authentic person that who has ever lived, authentically imitating the
0:53
Christ, Jesus. Amen, the perfect man, the most successful full man
1:00
who has ever lived on this planet, the Lord Jesus. What he set
1:04
out to do, he accomplished. Amen, perfect man, sinless man,
1:11
righteous man, holy man, Son of God, God of Man, Amen
1:19
and man. And it's amazing what Jesus did. As a matter of fact,
1:25
the Bible says by itself, Jesus, if you have to record everything
1:30
that he did, it would not be enough books to contain the writings to
1:37
describe or to even talk about what Jesus did on this earth. But we
1:42
have the written word, we have the account eye winness, accounts of what
1:46
Jesus actually did, amen what he wanted to reveal to us. So today
1:53
we don't really have to add anything, you know. I kind of laugh
1:57
and giggle when I see preachers trying to add certain things to the scriptures,
2:04
or add this and add that for dramatic effect. I guess that's the only
2:08
thing I can assume why they would want to do something like that. But
2:15
Jesus alone, that's what we're calling in today's authentic imitation, knowlogy on the
2:19
morning devo Jesus alone. You don't have to add anything, right, let
2:23
me get my notes here. Screen just flipped. I don't know why.
2:29
Let me see if I can get this out of the way. And my
2:31
screen flipped. So therefore there you go, get out of the way here
2:38
this note. Is there anything that can be added to Christianity to make it
2:44
even better than it already? Is he thought about that? You ever thought
2:46
about that? What can you add to Christianity? And I'm talking about the
2:52
church, I'm talking about christ centered theology, Christology right following Christ, Jesus,
3:00
the Son of Man, God, Man, Amen, son of God.
3:05
Is there anything that could be added to Christianity to make it even better
3:08
than it already is? Or can we just fly on Jesus alone? Can
3:14
we just speak Jesus alone? Think about it. Why do we have to
3:20
add things to the scriptures and why do people try that? Or why people
3:23
try to take away from the scriptures? Man. I heard a popular preacher
3:30
the other day trying to push the tithes in the church in his church right
3:36
and he said, he literally said that it's on film on YouTube. It's
3:40
from his church. Amen. Good morning, sister Joane, I see you,
3:44
Good morning, God bless you. And he tried to push the issue
3:49
that Jesus said that we are supposed to tithe. And when you look at
3:53
the scripture, I think it's in Matthew twenty two, twenty three, twenty
3:57
three. You look at the scripture clearly and you read it and like he's
4:00
adding stuff that should not be there. And when you read it, like
4:06
why would he say that, I'm not gonna go there today? Today we
4:11
can talk about Jesus alone. Don't add anything. Nothing needed other than Jesus.
4:16
If you think about it, Amen, he's the beginning, and he's
4:20
the and the Alpha and Omega. He's the completeness of the scriptures. Amen,
4:27
good Morning's is the joyce. I see you, Good morning, God
4:29
bless you. Welcome back to the morning devo. So we're gonna be in
4:31
Colossians chapter one Versus fifteen to eighteen. Collisans chapter one Versus fifteen to anything.
4:39
Is there anything that can be added to Christianity to make it even better
4:44
than it already is? I want you to think about that question. If
4:46
you have any questions yourself or comments, concerns, prayer requests, throw hesitate
4:51
to leave it on the live chat. That's what the live chat is for.
4:55
And man, we communicate, we connect, and man, we pray
4:57
for one another, we encourage one another. There's not a place for debate,
5:02
so we might not do debate here. But if you want to debate
5:09
and you want to have the arguments and all that and bubbles, I know
5:13
people and man that I could steer you too, and you can do the
5:16
same thing. And their platforms are geared for that. This platform is just
5:20
to devote some time, Amen to the Lord Jesus, to start our day,
5:26
to start our night, to start right with God by reading His word.
5:31
Amen. So that's what this is for Live that so Wins with a
5:35
ze Org also at so win is with a ze do Org celebradio network that
5:40
Lehigh Valley's number one urban gospel music station online since two thousand and eight,
5:45
can you believe it? And these Friday series are called authentic Imitationlogy And this
5:50
just so happens to be the sixty seventh Friday and that we're doing it from
5:55
the time of this recording. So I'm blessed and I'm so humble that God
6:00
would use someone like me to continue going on with something He gave me like
6:05
specifically to do, Amen, and he allowed me to get it done.
6:10
Time is a blessing. God literally allowed me sixty seven fridays to do this
6:16
and to be with you, Amen. And that's a blessing. I don't
6:19
take that for granted. When I was younger, I used to take time
6:23
for granted. Now that I'm older, every day is a blessing. Every
6:27
day I thank God for a new day and man, regardless of what's going
6:30
on, Thank God. Right, So let's pray first. After we pray
6:33
we'll shut it out for like sixty seconds, and then we'll share sixty seconds.
6:38
On the other side of those sixty seconds, we'll come right back into
6:41
Jesus alone, and we'll dive right into the Scriptures Collosans, chapter number one,
6:46
Verses fifteen to eighteen. So Father, I thank you so much for

10:24
scriptures and boom. God is right there, an. His word is active,
10:26

10:30
able to do exactly what his word says he would do. My seeing a
10:33
ghost right now, my man, blis tone love right here, Tonio oliveris
10:39
a man, the legend himself. I grew up with this man on the
10:43
earliest stages of being a teen and he's been a blessing ever since. Man.
10:48
And we've just got reunited not too long ago. So good morning to
10:50

10:54
to the morning Devo. On these Friday sessions, I call these authentic imitationology.
11:00
So welcome to the session. Amen. Know not uh, I don't
11:07
know what that says. Bro. You got type over there? No,
11:11
not what that says? Amen? You got type over there? Bro for
11:18
God bless you. Man. So let's go Jesus alone that's the imitationalogy.
11:22
We're in the building, and let me get this scream ready, I'll see
11:26
your thing. Not h I don't know, oh not a ghost. There
11:41
you go, there you go, you got it right there? I know,
11:45
man, you had this real quick. Let me put this on the
11:50
screen. For those who are listening at sou Winners with a z Org on
11:54
the podcast podcast platforms, you're gonna listen word for word, so you're not
11:58
gonna really miss anything. And man, of course you are in the audio
12:03
only because maybe you're driving, working out, going to work, school,
12:07
whatever the case may be. Thank you so much for listening. I believe
12:11
audio is gonna be with us until Jesus comes back, and even through all
12:15
eternity, it's always gonna be audio. Right. Visual part is cool,
12:20
but on my videos all you see is talking ahead pretty much, is me
12:24
right, But the audio paints pictures in your mind, a man, and
12:26
the word of God continues to paint pictures in your mind so you could teach
12:31
us what he's saying. So I believe audio is very powerful. So thank
12:35
you for much, so much for coming through by way of podcasts or by
12:39
way of the radio. All right, so let me get this on the
12:41
screen, and let's go for it. Authentic imentationlogy. Like I said,
12:46
I try to do this every Friday. If ive thirty a me sustend the
12:50
time. Today we're calling this one Jesus alone. And here's the scripture Collazes,
12:54
Chapter one, verses fifteen to eighteen. He Jesus is the image of
13:01
the invisible God. Anybody seen God lately is invisible. But Jesus is the
13:09
image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Now that part.
13:15
A lot of religious people and different religions take that way out of context.
13:20
They think that he was the firstborn of God. They think that God
13:22
was created. I even have some friends that think that God the Father had
13:28
a spiritual wife and they had two sons. This is not true. This
13:31
is not in the scriptures. I'm just saying what other people think. They
13:35
had two sons and one was Jesus, one was Lucifer, and people think
13:41
they're brothers. Blasphemy, erroneous, is not right. It's not even in
13:46
the scriptures. But let's keep on going. He is Jesus is the invisible
13:50
God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were what
13:56
created. Why because in the beginning and God created. God shows up as
14:01
the creator God. So for by him all things were created, all things
14:07
in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions,
14:16
or rulers or authorities, all things were created through him and for him.
14:24
And he is before all things. That makes him eternal. It's all about
14:28
the Lord Jesus, and in him and Jesus all things what hold together.
14:37
And he is the head of the body the Church, right, because if
14:41
you cut off the head, the body dies. But Jesus is the head
14:46
of the body, so we live the church. He is the beginning,
14:52
the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be pre eminent.
14:58
He comes before, he is eternal. So I don't know how in the
15:03
world people will see the scripture and know that Apostle Paul is talking about the
15:09
Lord Jesus and then say, no, Jesus is not God, or he
15:13
never claimed to be God, or the Bible doesn't say he's God. You
15:20
can't do hurdles over these scriptures. Act like nothing is happening over here.
15:24
Hey, man, that's a big God statement that he is pre eminent.
15:30
He's the image of the invisible God. He's holding all things together. All
15:33
things will create it by him and through him, before him. It's an
15:39
amazing thing. My phone is acting up. I hope the phone stop stops
15:43
acting up so we can stay with us. If not, Man, you
15:46
can watch the replay or listen to the replay later. Man, thank you
15:48
so much for coming through. It's early man, so I'm surprised that we're
15:54
all up here right now. So that's closes one fifteen to eighteen. Y'all
16:00
see her greetings in the name of Jesus here evangelist yaself. Y'all see I
16:06
need reading, is my friend, God bless you. Welcome to the morning
16:10
devote There you have it, there, you have it. Oh what am
16:15
I doing here? I want to do that And I don't know what I
16:21
did, friends, but I just changed the screen the way it looks.
16:25
There you go, oh wow, there is a glitch here, like a
16:33
nice glitch for them live right, So Jesus alone, I don't know why
16:40
would anyone try to add anything else to this scripture, to this word right?
16:48
Why would anybody want to add anything to the scriptures? As if you
16:52
needed to add anything to that scripture, especially when it talks about the pre
16:56
eminence, eminence when it talks about God in the beginning and the ends,
17:03
about that Jesus holds all things together. Put it like this. Have you
17:08
ever had someone try to convince you that you need some other religion or school
17:15
of thought in your life? Right? You can raise your hand. People
17:18
approach me all the time, says, why are you only reading the scriptures?
17:22
Why are you only reading the Holy Bible? Why can't you just read
17:26
about Buddha, about about Joseph Smith, about Russell? Why do you?
17:33
I said, because what else do I need? I could take all religions
17:37
and put in my left hand. I know it looks like my right and
17:40
the screen, but put on my left hand all religions, and then I
17:44
could take Christianity, and if Christianity would staying by itself against all religions.
17:48
If you say, how do you know that? Have you ever studied all
17:51
the religions in the world? Of course not, I don't know who has
17:52
the time to do that all the religions? Are you kidding me? You
17:56
know how many religions there are? But anyway, so every religion you can
18:02
check this for yourself if you want to take the time and check it.
18:06
Every religion outside of Christianity says that Jesus either he just was a good man,
18:11
a good person, a prophet, or never existed. All religions say
18:15
that about Jesus, Oh, he was a good man, but it's not
18:18
God. Christianity stands alone and says Jesus is God. What else? What
18:25
else you want to add to that? Right, Janny says Jesus God.
18:30
Every other religion says he's not. What do you? What do you?
18:33
Why would I have to sit down, go to the library, go online,
18:37
study every religion in the world when I know the basic difference Christianity and
18:44
every other religion in the world. Like, what's going on here? Like
18:48
I don't. I don't understand why people on this journey in their life to
18:56
debunk Christianity to what's that deconstruct Christianity, deconstruct the Bible, as if they're
19:04
doing something that's going to make a difference in my life and in your life.
19:11
That's not gonna make Jesus already says some things, right, he spoke,
19:15
He already said things, and those things are eternal. How are you
19:18
going to change that? You ever says something out of your own mouth?
19:22
That you wish you would not have said, but you said it anyway.
19:26
And what did the receiving personal people take from that? They still remember?
19:33
Very few people that when I says something out of turn, that don't remember,
19:37
especially my wife. If I said something to my wife that it was
19:41
out of turn, it was not right, she probably still remembers. She
19:44
could choose not to remember, or she could, you know, look the
19:48
other way. But sometimes you say things out of your own mouth, Amen,
19:52
and people remember. So imagine when God spoke something out of his own
19:56
mouth. Amen, how much more the people were remember that? How much
20:00
more? Is it eternal? Because my words could be kind of like sharp,
20:04
but then it'll fall to the ground. But if I'm speaking the word
20:07
of God, my word is not only sharp. My word is sharper than
20:11
any double edged sort, able to pierce right the soul and bone, marrow
20:15
and all that right. And it's able. The word of God's eternal,
20:18
so it will be able to do and accomplish what the Word of God would
20:22
do and accomplished by itself. I don't need to add anything. I don't
20:26
need to sprinkle any salt pepper or double over anything that the scripture says,
20:33
I don't got to force nothing. I don't God, and you don't have
20:36
to either. Let's just read the word. The Word is so powerful.
20:38
Listen. I don't even understand everything in the scriptures, and I know you
20:41
don't understand everything in scriptures either. So let's try to understand by way of
20:47
Holy Spirit. If you're born again, you have Holy Spirit God living inside
20:51
of you. So he would not steal you wrong. He will not abandon
20:53
you in your way of reasoning and thought. He would be with you.
20:56
So people try to convey into that you need some other religion or school of
21:02
thought in your life. Usually they aren't trying to convince you to reject Jesus
21:07
right, but rather to add something to your faith in Jesus. They want
21:12
you to add something like the past I was talking about that he was telling
21:17
his church Jesus said we had to tithe, and that he went to the
21:19
Matthew Scripture. I think it's twenty three twenty three. Look it up for
21:22
yourself, and you try to change it around to make it fit his narrative
21:29
and trying to appeal to the church and trying to kind of like get them
21:36
to think or get them to agree that Jesus endorsed the tithe in the New
21:44
Covenant. Meanwhile, he was talking to the people who were already in the
21:49
law. They were following the Law of Moses, and they were following the
21:53
Old Covenant. Jesus was still speaking to the people. So therefore the New
21:57
Covenant not been released yet. We have to watch what people are trying to
22:04
do. Man, they're trying to add, they're trying to take away,
22:07
and they're trying to manipulate, trying to use the scriptures to say things that
22:11
the scriptures don't say. Open your eyes. Amen, you want to give
22:15
to your church? Give amen, under no compulsion, no pressure. Amen.
22:21
Give We want to start with the tenth. The tenth, you could
22:22
do that, but the Bible's clear and the New Covenant, we're not obligated.
22:26
We're not under the law. And now know people always argue with me,
22:32
well, what do you mean, Yeah, we're not under l law
22:33
no more. Take that up. Well a possible Paul by way of Holy
22:37
Spirit God who wrote that in the scriptures. But anyway, let's keep on
22:41
going. They aren't trying to convince you to reject Jesus, but rather to
22:47
add something to your faith in Jesus. For example, right, Jesus plus
22:52
Eastern mysticism, Oh your you know, Jesus and Buddha, or Jesus and
22:59
yoga or Jesus, you get it. Mysticism Jesus plus New Age philosophies and
23:07
new age is dangerous. The new Age concepts appeals to our flesh. Right,
23:11
it has a lot to do with aliens, abductions, the God who
23:21
spoke a thing then abandoned what he spoke. Be careful with the new age
23:26
man. It seems right, But actually, you know who claims that the
23:33
new Age belongs to them? The New Age Revolution or the New Age movement.
23:40
The guy who wrote the Satanic Bible, he says that belongs to the
23:42
devil. He said it just like that. And I quote Jesus plus legalism,
23:49
Jesus plus New Age philosophies, and goes on. And they want to
23:53
put Jesus in everything. They want to add him Christmas, they want to
23:57
add them to Easter with the bunny. So it's unfortunate, ladies and gentlemen,
24:03
that Easter the Resurrection Sunday, that we celebrate the resurrected Christ, that
24:08
is side by side with the bunny. Rapping the Easter eggs. I'm just
24:11
saying, am I lying our churches? I don't know, hardly justified it.
24:18
But now everybody's hands off. Oh look this for the kids. I
24:22
get it all the time in my house. It's just for the kids.
24:25
Easter hunt, egg hunt. Oh it's good. You know they put scriptures
24:29
or so you have Jesus the resurrected Christ the most important day. Apostle Paul
24:36
said, if that never happened, if Jesus never resurrected, then we have
24:38
no hope, We have no Christianity, we have no We are to be
24:41
pitied the most because we're living in a lie, or we're following a lie.
24:47
The resurrected Jesus, and then they put it. They put Jesus our
24:51
Lord's side by side with the bunny and eggs, and we're saying that it's
24:56
you know, it's just for the kids. Would you teach the kids?
25:03
What you teach the kids, that's what they learn. Then they grow up
25:06
and then they keep on doing it. Don't you see that that was a
25:08
trick of the enemy. He knows how generations work, So why are we
25:12
still doing that? Because generations in the past generations in the past and they
25:17
started doing it, so we took it. And now since we're so friendly
25:21
with each other, we said, oh it's okay, you know, Easter
25:25
hunt. I'm not about that life man, Oh Sam, do a lot
25:30
your kids to do it? Yeah, just to have peace with my kids
25:33
and everything. But I always every year I tell my kids, tell my
25:38
wife, tell everybody the same thing. Bunnies don't lay eggs, first of
25:44
all, and you could go on and on about it, but I'm not
25:48
adding anything. Is Jesus alone, right, Jesus is enough, trust me.
25:56
So I know people, especially in my family that say they love Jesus,
26:03
well, they agree with Jesus. Like my uncle says he agrees with
26:07
Jesus, but he's a Buddhist, so he says he's a Buddhist Christian.
26:12
And if he was honest him with me right now, he would admit it.
26:15
Right. I'm not slandering or anything. We literally have conversations like that.
26:22
But that's adding something to Christianity, and people are trying to make it
26:30
better according to their philosophy, calling to their mystic cool practices. They're trying
26:34
to make what we're calling Christianity. They're trying to make it better. It
26:41
seems like, wow. You know, if you mix this with Jesus.
26:45
He mixed that with Jesus. Now you have this ultimate super natural Jesus culture,
26:53
whatever you wanta call it. But if it ain't in the scripts,
26:56
don't follow it. If it ain't in the Word of God, don't do
27:00
it. Postil Paul dedicated the first half of his letter to the Collagians emphasizing
27:07
the preeminence of Christ. He wrote this letter from a Roman prison. He
27:11
was locked up around sixty a d. We have no reason to believe that
27:15
Paul had ever even visited the Church of Colossie in Asia Minor, but had
27:21
only heard of it. The church in Colossie was founded by a man named
27:25
Epiphros right, and it goes on and goes on. I'm running out of
27:29
time here, but it's a lot here, ain'tmen. Maybe we'll hit it
27:32
up next time next Friday. Lord willing, But listen, say, Collajans,
27:37
go there chapter one, read the whole chapter for yourself, and tune
27:41
your ears to what Holy Spirit is saying by way of the Apostle, and
27:45
then take it from there. You don't need to add nothings Jesus alone up
27:49
in here right. So God bless you all. God keep you all.
27:53
Remember always that God's gonna have a great weekend. Thank you so much for
27:57
hanging out with me out of here. But in the meantime, I'll keep
28:02
praying for you and your family. Please pray for me and my family.
28:04
And next time that we get together, Amen, we can celebrate the victories
28:10
and the testimonies that God's going to allow us to see and have. Amen.
28:14
I see you, Sister Myra and Sister Alicia Alicia. God bless you
28:18
both. God bless you, and I'll talk to you soon. God bless Peace.
