0:03
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, and good morning God. Bless your family. God.
0:06
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Devo. I want to welcome
0:09
Speaker 1: myself back. I've been gone for like two weeks. Amen.
0:12
Speaker 1: We're back on the Morning Devo five thirty eight am
0:14
Speaker 1: Monday through Fridays. I'm gonna try to be here consistently,
0:18
Speaker 1: as consistently as possible. I'm already gonna be challenged this
0:22
Speaker 1: week with the Morning Devo. This week, I guess I
0:27
Speaker 1: have some obligations, but maybe I can get it done. Amen.
0:31
Speaker 1: God is good, He's faithful. I do what he wants
0:33
Speaker 1: me to do, Amen, because he's just an amazing God
0:37
Speaker 1: and he allows me to do these things. And I'm
0:39
Speaker 1: honored to do what I do for the Kingdom of God.
0:43
Speaker 1: So if you're here, Amen, welcome back. If you're watching
0:47
Speaker 1: on the replay or you're listening to the podcast, welcome
0:50
Speaker 1: back to the Morning Devo. For those who have been
0:53
Speaker 1: asking where I've been, thank you so much for your
0:55
Speaker 1: concern and thank you for noticing a lot of time.
0:58
Speaker 1: A lot of times we pot cast and we feel
1:01
Speaker 1: like nobody's noticing that we're here, and the devil's a
1:06
Speaker 1: lie on. People know when we're here when we're not here, Amen.
1:10
Speaker 1: And because we're doing it for the glory of God.
1:13
Speaker 1: There's no other reason why I do this, Amen, But
1:17
Speaker 1: other than for the glory of God and for me
1:22
Speaker 1: to get some free biblical counseling. I guess because I'm
1:30
Speaker 1: going to the Word of God for my thought process
1:33
Speaker 1: and for the way we think, for the way I think. Amen.
1:37
Speaker 1: And I had a question that I asked the Lord
1:40
Speaker 1: last night. I said, what about death? What's going on
1:44
Speaker 1: with death? Because we had some we lost a loved
1:48
Speaker 1: one in my family. Amen. Then I found out a
1:51
Speaker 1: friend of mine lost his loved one, and then another
1:54
Speaker 1: friend of mine lost his grandfather or grand grandfather or grandmother.
1:59
Speaker 1: I think its great father. And I'm like, yeah, this
2:02
Speaker 1: is it's not going to stop, ladies and gentlemen. But
2:06
Speaker 1: for a believer in Christ, the one who promised eternal life,
2:12
Speaker 1: what does that mean for to us? What does that mean?
2:15
Speaker 1: And I heard the Lord's spirits say death is not final?
2:19
Speaker 1: So I said, woo, that's that's a huge statement. That's
2:25
Speaker 1: a huge message right there. I said, Lord, for Morning Devo,
2:30
Speaker 1: and I believe he said, yes, Amen for Morning Devo.
2:34
Speaker 1: Death it's not final. So let me get it into
2:38
Speaker 1: my notes here. Amen, excuse me, I'm a little rusty
2:42
Speaker 1: right now. They men, I haven't done this for a
2:44
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But here we go through the Lord Jesus,
2:49
Speaker 1: we have been set free from judgment and have the
2:53
Speaker 1: gift of eternal life, set free from the judgment. Right.
3:01
Speaker 1: People say only God could judge me, and they're right,
3:03
Speaker 1: and God will. God will judge me, God will judge you.
3:08
Speaker 1: It'll be in John chapter five, verse twenty four. Death
3:11
Speaker 1: is not viral today in the morning Devo. If you

4:19
Speaker 1: scripture for this morning, John chapter five, verse number twenty four.
4:23
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the key scripture. But of course I'm
4:26

4:29
Speaker 1: background about how this death thing happened in life, in
4:35
Speaker 1: our life right biblically well why death? But death is
4:40
Speaker 1: not final. Thank you, Lord Father, I thank you Lord Jesus.
4:43
Speaker 1: For every single person that is watching or listening. I
4:47
Speaker 1: thank you log God for their lives. Thank you for
4:49
Speaker 1: their health, their strength, their protection, and that you do
4:53
Speaker 1: what you do. Look God, in these morning devils, all
4:55
Speaker 1: these morning devils, I pray a heade your protection over
4:58
Speaker 1: my life, over my family, over my wife, about our children,
5:01
Speaker 1: over our grandchildren, of all family members. From the very
5:04
Speaker 1: youngest to the very oldest, and everyone in between. Thank you,
5:08
Speaker 1: Lord God, for your love, your grace, and your mercy
5:11
Speaker 1: that you pour out amongst the people of the world.
5:16
Speaker 1: And I thank you, Lord God, that you continue to
5:18
Speaker 1: be relevant in our lives, real in our lives. That
5:23
Speaker 1: you are on time all the time. And that although
5:25
Speaker 1: we experience loss, hurt, pain, sickness, disease, death, we experience
5:31
Speaker 1: all this in life. We know that we could go
5:33
Speaker 1: to you, the one who gives us eternal life, the
5:36
Speaker 1: one who gives us the victorious way of living, the
5:39
Speaker 1: one that we follow on a righteous path. And I pray,
5:42
Speaker 1: Lord God, that you would teach us and show us
5:44
Speaker 1: in your word, according to your power, according to your spirit,
5:47
Speaker 1: according to your grace and your mercy and your love,
5:50
Speaker 1: that your word and who you are in your word,
5:54
Speaker 1: because of your word, that we can know that death
5:57
Speaker 1: is not final. So I speak life concerning all things living,
6:01
Speaker 1: and I speak death to all those things that come
6:03
Speaker 1: against our way of thinking, come against your word, come
6:05
Speaker 1: against the Spirit of God. I pray that those things
6:10
Speaker 1: are those spirits or those demonic entities or principalities, will
6:15
Speaker 1: not be able to disrupt or distract in any way
6:20
Speaker 1: during this morning session, and Jesus Holy Name, I pray
6:23
Speaker 1: it's by faith and all those who agree, we say
6:25
Speaker 1: Amen to the Amen. Let's go for it. Sixty seconds
6:28
Speaker 1: to share this out. Help me share this out. When
6:30
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's morning devil.
6:32
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Man. Let's go for it. Ladies
7:44
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, we are here. Death is not final, man,
7:48
Speaker 1: So if you're experiencing something right now and you feel
7:52
Speaker 1: that death is knocking on your door, please don't hesitate
7:56
Speaker 1: to go to the one who gives eternal life. So
7:59
Speaker 1: that way, when death knocks on the door, the Lord Jesus,
8:02
Speaker 1: the one who gives eternal life, will open the door
8:04
Speaker 1: and say what do you want? Ask Death, what do
8:07
Speaker 1: you want? Because according to the word of God, death
8:10
Speaker 1: is not final for a believer in Christ. Amen. For
8:14
Speaker 1: believing in Christ's death is not follow Thank you God.
8:18
Speaker 1: It's great for sharing our morning devotion on your group page.
8:23
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for that and we'll take that for granted. Amen.
8:27
Speaker 1: So let's go forward. Let's go to the scripture, Amen,
8:30
Speaker 1: and we'll share this out. Hopefully you're willing to listen
8:34
Speaker 1: and you're willing to watch and see on the word
8:37
Speaker 1: of God for those who are just listening. Our soone
8:39
Speaker 1: is with a z do org. Thank you so much
8:41
Speaker 1: for coming through. I see that a lot of people
8:44
Speaker 1: come through these morning DeVos and probably didn't come today
8:48
Speaker 1: because you thought I was gonna be on again. And man,
8:51
Speaker 1: life happens and I needed a break. I needed some
8:54
Speaker 1: time off. Amen. I'm still grieving the loss of my
8:57
Speaker 1: brother in law. But God is faithful. He's good for
8:59
Speaker 1: you for in his word. It's good because of his word, Amen.
9:04
Speaker 1: And he's just holding me, holding my family, holding my
9:07
Speaker 1: sister out, my nieces up, holding our whole entire family
9:10
Speaker 1: up during this time of loss. Amen. So keep my
9:14
Speaker 1: family in prayer. I'll keep your family in prayer. We
9:17
Speaker 1: need each other, Amen, especially when life happens. Amen. And
9:23
Speaker 1: life happens and hits hard, and so we're here. See
9:28
Speaker 1: if I get this, Okay, there you go. Should be
9:32
Speaker 1: good here. Aymen, let's go for it in a while.
9:39
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to get these buttons figured out. Death
9:42
Speaker 1: is not final today in the morning devo. Amen, Thank
9:47
Speaker 1: you Jesus. John chapter number five, verse twenty four. This
9:50
Speaker 1: is the amplified version. So your version might be different
9:53
Speaker 1: unless you're in amplified version as well. John five twenty four.
9:57
Speaker 1: The Lord says, I assure you, and most solemnly say
10:01
Speaker 1: to you, the person who hears my word, the one
10:05
Speaker 1: who heeds my message and believes and trusts in him
10:11
Speaker 1: who sent me, has possesses now eternal life. Now that
10:19
Speaker 1: is eternal life actually begins. The believer is transformed and
10:26
Speaker 1: does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed
10:31
Speaker 1: over from death into life. That's an assurance and assurance
10:38
Speaker 1: from our Lord. And I will say to the Lord Jesus,
10:42
Speaker 1: and when he says, the person who hears his word,
10:45
Speaker 1: the one who heeds his message and believes and trust
10:49
Speaker 1: in the Father who sent the son, has eternal life.
10:55
Speaker 1: That is eternal life actually begins right then and there.
10:59
Speaker 1: The believer transformed, The believer is renewed, restored, redeemed. The
11:04
Speaker 1: believer has eternal life here right now. I know a
11:08
Speaker 1: lot of people think that, oh, that's later on. No,
11:10
Speaker 1: when you receive the Lord Jesus as your personal Lord
11:13
Speaker 1: and savior, and you believe in the one who sent them,
11:16
Speaker 1: the Father a man, you will now have the power
11:20
Speaker 1: of Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit living inside of you,
11:23
Speaker 1: giving you the transformative power that the Lord gives you
11:27
Speaker 1: by the way of his Holy Spirit. And that's a
11:29
Speaker 1: now situation. Right, the believer is transformed and does not
11:35
Speaker 1: come into judgment and cond nation, but has passed over
11:39
Speaker 1: from death into life. That's why I was like, wow,
11:44
Speaker 1: So that means death is not final. No, it's not. Physically,
11:49
Speaker 1: our body, right will go to the ground. The process
11:53
Speaker 1: happens from ashes to ashes, from dust to dust. This
11:57
Speaker 1: physical body, you know, bag of flesh and bones, will expire,
12:02
Speaker 1: but our spirit remains intact. Our soul belongs, our safe
12:07
Speaker 1: soul belongs to the Lord for all eternity, and we
12:09
Speaker 1: have eternal life with God. But the opposite applies, ladies
12:13
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. I don't never want to just make it
12:16
Speaker 1: seem like, oh, we all go to heaven. No, the
12:18
Speaker 1: opposite applies for those who reject the Gospel, for those
12:22
Speaker 1: who don't believe and the one that sent Jesus the Father,
12:28
Speaker 1: those who don't believe Holy Spirit, God is real. For
12:30
Speaker 1: those who say there is no God and live their
12:34
Speaker 1: life according to their own methods, into their own worldliness,
12:40
Speaker 1: those people go through the same process that everybody on
12:44
Speaker 1: planet Earth will go through death, right, but their eternity
12:48
Speaker 1: and the destination of their eternity is in a different
12:51
Speaker 1: place than a child of God. For all eternity. Eternity
12:55
Speaker 1: is a long time, Ladies and gentlemen. I don't know
12:58
Speaker 1: why people around with God's word and play around with
13:03
Speaker 1: the Gospel, play around with things that are eternal, and
13:07
Speaker 1: they feel as oh there is no God, I'm good
13:10
Speaker 1: and then they die and realize at that point, which
13:15
Speaker 1: by that time it's too late. I don't think there's
13:18
Speaker 1: repentance after death. They meet a God who loved them
13:25
Speaker 1: all through, who showed grace and mercy all through their lives.
13:29
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about people who heard the gospel, the
13:31
Speaker 1: people who never heard the gospel. God is a fair judge, right,
13:37
Speaker 1: People right now in some remote parts of the world
13:40
Speaker 1: have never even heard of the name of the Lord
13:43
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So would it be fair or just for
13:48
Speaker 1: God to give them an eternal punishment for not even
13:51
Speaker 1: hearing his name. No, God is a just God. He
13:54
Speaker 1: knows what's going on in those remote parts of the world,
13:58
Speaker 1: and the Bible says no one is has an excuse. Amen,
14:04
Speaker 1: God will show up in those remote places even if
14:07
Speaker 1: the evangelist or the missionaries don't get there before he
14:11
Speaker 1: comes back. So God has that covered. Because I know
14:14
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask me, oh, what about the people.
14:16
Speaker 1: We never heard the gospel? Why would God send him hell?
14:19
Speaker 1: God doesn't send anyone to hell. As a matter of fact,
14:24
Speaker 1: read your scriptures, read the word. You won't see a
14:26
Speaker 1: scripture that says the Lord sends people to hell. You
14:30
Speaker 1: won't see that scripture. Amen. It's one of those things
14:35
Speaker 1: that people have heard and they automatically start saying, oh,
14:39
Speaker 1: God does this. God does that, And then when you
14:40
Speaker 1: look at the scriptures, God never said that and he
14:43
Speaker 1: doesn't do those things. Amen. JC sanctified, my boy, my
14:47
Speaker 1: brother in Christ. What something, man, that's real? Yes it is. Amen.
14:52
Speaker 1: Make sure all the people right now you go and
14:55
Speaker 1: check out JC sanctified in the music ministry that he
14:58
Speaker 1: has man a god that for years now. Amen. And
15:02
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of calling my brother in Christ. Thank
15:04
Speaker 1: you so much for coming through the morning. Devil Death.
15:08
Speaker 1: Let's deal with death. How did it happen? Right? Biblically,
15:12
Speaker 1: death entered the world because of sin Adam sin first
15:19
Speaker 1: man Adam Genesis chapter three. Read it for yourself if
15:22
Speaker 1: you don't believe me, Amen, how does the direct act
15:26
Speaker 1: of God? Think about it? Genesis back it up a
15:30
Speaker 1: little bit before you get to Genesis chapter three, Genesis
15:33
Speaker 1: chapter two and seventeen. Amen tells you what happened, tells
15:41
Speaker 1: you about death. Our death entered into the equation. That's
15:46
Speaker 1: why when you're at a funeral, and when I'm at
15:48
Speaker 1: a funeral, everybody's taking it differently. We all know an atheist.
15:54
Speaker 2: Nos, Christian knows a Muslim, nos a Buddhism of someone
15:59
Speaker 2: with Buddhist knows a Buddhist, and who knows everybody knows
16:03
Speaker 2: every human being knows that something ain't read about.
16:06
Speaker 1: Death wasn't supposed to be like that. We have it
16:09
Speaker 1: like inside of us. We know. We look around, we
16:12
Speaker 1: look at people. People are mourning, crying. It's a sad
16:16
Speaker 1: moment some people, you know, until later on when people
16:19
Speaker 1: are celebrated, when their lives are celebrated. Amen, it's really sad, man,
16:26
Speaker 1: It's really sad because we know death wasn't supposed to
16:29
Speaker 1: be the option. Death wasn't supposed to happen. We all
16:34
Speaker 1: know that it's written inside of our hearts. We know
16:36
Speaker 1: that death wasn't supposed to be. When Adam and Eve sinned,
16:41
Speaker 1: they introduce death and its consequences into the world. Say
16:47
Speaker 1: that again, When Adam and Eve sinned, they introduced death
16:53
Speaker 1: and its consequences into the world. That's in Genesis three.
16:59
Speaker 1: But if you back up, look at Genesis chapter two
17:01
Speaker 1: and seventeen. I can't go there because the morning devo amen.
17:05
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give you some word so that
17:07
Speaker 1: way you could focus on the Word of God during
17:10
Speaker 1: the day. So I'll give you some homework Genesis two
17:13
Speaker 1: seventeen and Romans five to twelve. Check it out for yourself.
17:17
Speaker 1: But when Adam and Eve sin, death and the consequences
17:21
Speaker 1: of death was introduced. Because sin was introduced to the world, right,
17:27
Speaker 1: disobedience to God was introduced, and that created a need
17:32
Speaker 1: for redemption or need for redeemer, excuse me, a need
17:35
Speaker 1: for a redeemer who actually lives right now. This is
17:39
Speaker 1: why we experience getting old because remember, back in Genesis days,
17:45
Speaker 1: people were living to nine hundred and something years old.
17:48
Speaker 1: Right then, sickness and death, sin, all that stuff started
17:53
Speaker 1: shortening the life spans. Read it for yourself, man, it's
17:57
Speaker 1: in the Old Covenant. Goga Genesis is powerful. First of all,
18:03
Speaker 1: sickness entered, tragedy entered right, the two brothers one killed
18:12
Speaker 1: his own brother or God right. But God uses these
18:18
Speaker 1: circumstances for our good. I know, it doesn't sound like
18:23
Speaker 1: it makes any sense. How does God use death for
18:25
Speaker 1: our good? Listen, If it wasn't for God, and it's
18:29
Speaker 1: his eternal life that he promised through Jesus, the Lord,
18:33
Speaker 1: the Christ, a man, the King of kings, the Lord
18:35
Speaker 1: of lords, it wasn't for his grace and mercy, death
18:39
Speaker 1: would be something that we'll get used to. I don't
18:42
Speaker 1: think anybody's used to death. You know, you try to
18:45
Speaker 1: when you hear some bad news about a family members
18:47
Speaker 1: going through sickness, cancer, or something like that. In your mind,
18:51
Speaker 1: you're trying to at least, this is what I try
18:53
Speaker 1: to do. I try to prepare myself for that day,
18:56
Speaker 1: for that phone call. I'm never ready. Anybody's ready for
19:02
Speaker 1: a phone call of a loved one that's lost. You
19:04
Speaker 1: feel it right away. It's like a pain. Right, God
19:08
Speaker 1: gave us those pains. Might be saying, why would God
19:11
Speaker 1: give us a pain? Because He wants us to be alive.
19:15
Speaker 1: He wants us to be aware of what's going on.
19:19
Speaker 1: He wants us to be alert of the things of
19:21
Speaker 1: life and of the things of death. And when sin
19:25
Speaker 1: comes into your situation, and sin comes into my situation,
19:29
Speaker 1: it introduces death right. But death is not fining for
19:33
Speaker 1: a believer. Death is not fining for a child of God.
19:36
Speaker 1: Death is not final for anyone or any whosoever who
19:40
Speaker 1: calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen,
19:44
Speaker 1: Or it's not final. We know our final destination. Amen.
19:48
Speaker 1: We know our eternal life. We know the promises of God,
19:52
Speaker 1: and we rely on trust in it. That's why the
19:54
Speaker 1: Bible says that when a loved one dies and we're
19:57
Speaker 1: in Christ, Amen, we don't more like the world mourns.
20:00
Speaker 1: The world says, oh, that's it, that person's gone forever,
20:05
Speaker 1: and we're like and we're saying, no, We'll see our brother,
20:08
Speaker 1: or we'll see our sister. We'll see our mom or
20:10
Speaker 1: dad who's in Christ. We'll see our aunts and uncles,
20:13
Speaker 1: our cousins, our children who are in Christ. We'll see
20:16
Speaker 1: them again. Our hope in Christ remains intact even when
20:21
Speaker 1: we lose a loved one. But if that loved one
20:23
Speaker 1: is without Christ, then that pain and that grief amen
20:27
Speaker 1: will really linger and last. But we know that God
20:30
Speaker 1: is a god of grace and of second chances. And
20:34
Speaker 1: we don't know what people do at their last breath.
20:38
Speaker 1: We're not there, we're not that person. Could it be that,
20:42
Speaker 1: just like the thief on the cross, that a person
20:44
Speaker 1: at that very last moment could ask Jesus to forgive them,
20:49
Speaker 1: ask Jesus to take them into paradise. Could it be
20:53
Speaker 1: that that's not just for the thief on the cross
20:55
Speaker 1: that we saw when Jesus was on his cross, to
20:59
Speaker 1: be men. So there's always hope when you have Christ.
21:02
Speaker 1: There's always hope when you believe in God. There's always
21:05
Speaker 1: hope when you believe in the one who gives eternal life.
21:08
Speaker 1: So for believers, we know it's important to understand that
21:12
Speaker 1: God is not the author of chaos. He's not the
21:16
Speaker 1: author of calamities, not the author of death. He uses
21:21
Speaker 1: these experiences, he uses these things in our lives for
21:26
Speaker 1: the good for those who love him Romans eight twenty eight.
21:29
Speaker 1: That's why it's important to know your word when these
21:33
Speaker 1: things happen in life. Know the scriptures when someone is
21:38
Speaker 1: in need of prayer, to know the scriptures when someone
21:41
Speaker 1: lost a loved one. It could be you, it could
21:43
Speaker 1: be me a man. Like I said, there's a saying, Amen,
21:48
Speaker 1: that death comes in threes. And if you look around
21:53
Speaker 1: when someone passes, if you look close enough or you search,
21:56
Speaker 1: you'll notice that there's always three in your community, in
22:00
Speaker 1: your maybe in your family, or maybe with your friends.
22:03
Speaker 1: It always adds up to like three or more people
22:07
Speaker 1: during the same week or the same day that lose
22:10
Speaker 1: their life. Amen. Coincidence. I don't believe coincidences. I just
22:15
Speaker 1: know that every single day, Amen, someone's going to be
22:21
Speaker 1: in an eternal state, whether with God or separated from God,
22:26
Speaker 1: every day. Amen. And I know you wake up to
22:30
Speaker 1: this morning deal. You're like, man, I got to hear
22:32
Speaker 1: about this. You don't have to hear about it. I
22:34
Speaker 1: just ask. I'm asking the Lord, by way of holy
22:37
Speaker 1: spiritual quicken your heart, Amen, to alert yourself to be
22:40
Speaker 1: aware of sin and sickness and death and also be
22:45
Speaker 1: aware of God's gift of eternal life. Men. And we
22:49
Speaker 1: choose right which direction we're gonna go. We're gonna go
22:52
Speaker 1: to the direction of sin and death, or we're gonna
22:54
Speaker 1: go into the direction of the gift of eternal life.
22:58
Speaker 1: Man we choose, we have free will, right. God uses
23:02
Speaker 1: these circumstances for our good. So it's im point to
23:05
Speaker 1: understand that God is not the author of death, not
23:08
Speaker 1: the author of calamity, but rather he's our comforter in
23:13
Speaker 1: the midst of all the calamity, in the midst of
23:15
Speaker 1: the sickness, in the midst of the chaos, in the
23:18
Speaker 1: midst of a lost loved one. Amen, Sanctified says, the
23:23
Speaker 1: time for salvation is now. Blessed is the one who
23:26
Speaker 1: has that chance, like the thief on the cross. But
23:29
Speaker 1: for those who don't have that chance, it's better to
23:32
Speaker 1: be ready for the unexpected now, for tomorrow it's not promised.
23:36
Speaker 1: It's so true. Amen. And if you could send a
23:40
Speaker 1: link to that song that you made concerning that when
23:44
Speaker 1: you said that in the beginning of the song. I
23:50
Speaker 1: can't remember the name of the song right now, but
23:52
Speaker 1: if you could put that link up. Amen, If you
23:54
Speaker 1: have a link to that song, let me know, put
23:57
Speaker 1: it on the live chat so that way people could
23:59
Speaker 1: listen to the question that you asked in the beginning
24:03
Speaker 1: of that track. Amen, this is important to know that
24:08
Speaker 1: tomorrow's not promised. Amen, Today's the day of salvation and man,
24:13
Speaker 1: it's like sobering, like when you realize that someone you knew,
24:18
Speaker 1: literally knew, was there last week and next week they're
24:24
Speaker 1: no longer there. The time is now, Yeah, the time
24:27
Speaker 1: is now. If you have it, Amen, you can put
24:30
Speaker 1: the link a man, no pressure. You don't have to
24:32
Speaker 1: do it right away if you can't find it right now, bro,
24:34
Speaker 1: But somehow, some way during the day with that link up, Amen,
24:39
Speaker 1: so people could understand where you were coming from and
24:42
Speaker 1: the perspective of the gospel concerning life and death. It's
24:45
Speaker 1: very important, man, for believers. There's no condemnation. Jesus didn't
24:51
Speaker 1: come to the world to condemn the world, the Bible
24:53
Speaker 1: says John chapter three. But he came to save the world.
24:58
Speaker 1: There was a need for things to get corrected. Genesis
25:02
Speaker 1: chapter three was we called the fall of man. Men
25:06
Speaker 1: fell into sin and to pride men men. Mankind was deceived, Amen,
25:13
Speaker 1: was deceived. We see it in Genesis chapter three. We
25:17
Speaker 1: can't hide from the scriptures. We thank you. I see it.
25:22
Speaker 1: I'll put it up. We're deceived. Mankind was deceived by
25:27
Speaker 1: the enemy, the one who hates all of God's creation,
25:31
Speaker 1: the devil Satan, Lucifer. Well, he wasn't Lucifer at that point, Amen,
25:36
Speaker 1: he was the devil, the serpent man. He was Lucifer
25:40
Speaker 1: when he was in heaven, the angel of Light and
25:45
Speaker 1: lasting musician, one of Lee worshippers right in heaven, and
25:50
Speaker 1: then pride entered into his heart. That's why we gotta
25:53
Speaker 1: be careful with pride, because when pride enters into our
25:57
Speaker 1: heart or tries to into our to our heart, we
26:00
Speaker 1: try to put us in front of God. We try
26:03
Speaker 1: to put things in front of God. We become idol
26:06
Speaker 1: worshipers if we don't keep our pride and check. But
26:09
Speaker 1: for believers, there was absolutely no combination or wrath from
26:14
Speaker 1: God Romans eight and one, Romans five and nine. Through
26:18
Speaker 1: Jesus we literally set free from judgment and we could
26:24
Speaker 1: be sure that we have this eternal life John five
26:27
Speaker 1: twenty four. That's where we started. So my whole thing
26:31
Speaker 1: about death is this, that's not final. I have scriptures
26:35
Speaker 1: to back it up, and you now have scriptures to
26:37
Speaker 1: back it up. Death is not final according to the
26:39
Speaker 1: Biblical perspective. And man, I can't tell you or convince you.
26:44
Speaker 1: I could tell you, but I can't convince you that
26:46
Speaker 1: God is real. It's not my job. It's not anyone's job.
26:50
Speaker 1: I mean, there's people who debate is God real or not?
26:55
Speaker 1: Does God allow? Why does God allow sickness and disease?
27:00
Speaker 1: Why I would a good God send good people to hell?
27:06
Speaker 1: Which he doesn't? As a question though that I've heard,
27:10
Speaker 1: And you could do it that way. You could debate,
27:12
Speaker 1: you could go through scriptures and we could have a
27:16
Speaker 1: sword fight with the scriptures. But I don't know how
27:22
Speaker 1: effective that would be for someone who's in a life
27:25
Speaker 1: or death situation. But I know for sure that love,
27:29
Speaker 1: the love of God, the kindness of God, leads men
27:32
Speaker 1: to repentance, leads women to repentance. Amen. So if you
27:36
Speaker 1: look at it in a loving way when death is
27:40
Speaker 1: knocking on a door, and you look at the lover
27:43
Speaker 1: of our soul, if you look at God who gives
27:45
Speaker 1: eternal life, Amen, your mind will switch up to a
27:48
Speaker 1: good way, in a good way, in a good pattern. Amen.
27:51
Speaker 1: But I'm out of time. I hope the word of
27:54
Speaker 1: God has spoken to you. John chapter five. Read the
27:57
Speaker 1: whole chapter for yourself. We camped out of verse number
27:59
Speaker 1: tween for Thank you so much for hanging out with
28:01
Speaker 1: me for this morning. Devo. God bless you all, and
28:05
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
