• 0:40
  Speaker 2: for us in our lives and in your life.

  Speaker 2: So today we're talking about God's truth about you, God's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: truth about me, God's truth about you. God's truth is
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: God's truth. Is God's truth. Amen, say that fast four times.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: So we are here just basking it and his glory
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and his love and his grace and his mercy, his word.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A man, he's faithful. He's able to do exactly everything
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: he said he would do. So that's the beautiful thing
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: about God. Amen, about the Lord. Everything that he says
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: he's going to do, he's going to do regardless of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: what we think about it. Amen, And it's good. Everything
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that God does is good and perfect. His plan is perfect,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: His will is perfect, His purposes for our lives are perfect.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And we might not understand everything.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Well, We're definitely not going to understand everything that God
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: does in our lives. But once you know, once you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: taste and see the goodness of God, the goodness of Jesus,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the goodness of the Holy Spirit God, You're not going
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to want to turn back to any other thing except God,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: or any other one except God. Because God is truth,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: God is love, God is lights, God is forgiving, God
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is merciful, God is full of grace.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: He's all of that and truth, God's truth about you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Who does God say you are?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Amen?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Who does God say you are? Think about that? The
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: world labels verse God's truth about you. The world's gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: say are You're no one? And a lot of my
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters just they say it themselves. They follow
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the mantra of the world. Oh you're nothing, You're no one,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And then they say I'm nothing without Christ.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Amen.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But you are special to God. Don't you understand that?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ died for you and died for me. He
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: died for all humanity, and then he gave us an opportunity.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So you don't think God thought we were special. His
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: creation is his creation. We are God's people because we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: were created by God and we accepted the invitation to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be saved and rescued, have eternal life by the promises
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. And now we
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have Holy Spirit living inside of us, reminding us of
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that fact, reminding us about God's truth about who we
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: are in Him and who He is in us. Come on,

  Speaker 1: Who we are in God.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The labels of this world are far out. They're crazy,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: but they're influential because they have popular demand. Right, they
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: have a lot more people, or I would say not
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a lot more just a.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Lot of people.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Really buying into the world's system and the labels that

• 4:09
  Speaker 2: if you feel a certain way, then that's who you are.

  Speaker 2: try to force any body into the faith. It's not
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: your job as a believer to try to really force
• 11:04

  Speaker 1: Of it, all of it belongs to the Lord. Amen.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: He's the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So we worship him, the true, living, holy, righteous, loving God.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: So God's truth about you. Let's go to the scripture
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: verse Peter two, verse number nine. Listen to this. This
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: is who God says we are. It is the truth
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: about us in God. But Peter says, you are a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a special
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the excellencies, the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Some people might be saying, yeah, he's not talking to us,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: He's talking to the Israelites, listen, we are adopted into
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the family of God because of the blood of Jesus,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: because of the cross that he conquered, because of the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: death that he conquered a man, because of the love
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that he shared, and because on the cross he said, Father,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: forgive them, everybody who was in that crowd at that time,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: everybody who was on his mind when he did that
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: once for all humanity. He said, Father, forgive them, for
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they do not know what they do. On the cross,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: while he was taking his last breath, right before he committed,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: or submitted, or gave his spirit up, he asks the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Father to forgive us. We are part of this us.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: We are part of this chosen race. We are a
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: royal priesthood. We are a consecrated nation. You might be saying, well,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the United States is that God's nation. Know, the nation
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of God and the Kingdom of God is different from
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the nations of this world.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But He has revealed himself to us.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: In our nation, in our country, in our neighborhood, in
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: our community, in our city, in our state, in our nation,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: we are special people. So for all those people saying
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I'm nobody, I'm nothing, stop saying that you are special
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to God. You're God's own possession. You're special. You're created
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: by God. You're fearfully and wonderfully made by God. You
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: will knitted and if you will knitted, fashion and formed
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in the secret place of your mother's womb. So you
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: are special to God. I am special to God. But
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: we don't go around saying, hey, I'm somebody specially right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: We're humble about it. But we know that whatever the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: world is saying, we're not going to repeat it. We're
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: going to repeat only what the word of God says.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I'm a God word repeater.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Amen. I repeat the word. I proclaim the word Amen.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And I know that that's the only word that can
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: satisfy my soul, God's word of him who called you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: out of what darkness into his what marvelous light.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So once we were in.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: The dark, when no longer they're we're in the light,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the marvelous light, the blazing light of Christ. We are
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: in the light of God. And because we're the salt
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: and light of this world, we act accordingly, and we
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: respond accordingly. We react accordingly, we move accordingly. We have
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the power to possess what God calls us to. Go
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: get amen, and he goes and tell us to preach
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the Gospel to all nations, baptizing everyone in the name
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: of the Father's Son and the Holy Ghost. We are commissioned.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: We don't need the world's permission. You can also reference
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter number nineteen versus five, and right, go for it, man,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: let's get into this world. Let's know God's truth about us,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: God's truth about you.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Just wanted to.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Really emphasize in that scripture because when I look at that, like,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: who says we're not special, right, who says that we
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: do not belong, who says that we are failing, who
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: says that we are not following the.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: True, living, holy, righteous God?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Who says that the world they're gonna label you, they're
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: gonna label me just the same. Amen, But we're not
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: gonna go for it. Man, aren't you tide of the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: lies and the lives of the world system. Aren't you
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: tired of the same old, same old that this world's
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: trying to say or trying to do in our lives?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Amen?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: To me, it's real corny. Once you're on up, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: once you are put on and you're mindful of what's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: going on, what's really going on? When God gives us
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the eyes to see, and man, you look at things differently.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You be like, yeah, I don't believe that no more.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I used to be one way before it Right, nobody
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: has a testimony. Everyone has a background, used to be
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: one way before. And God comes into your life, he
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: changes your heart, he changes your mind.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Amen, we have the mind of Christ and the heart
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of God. What more do you want?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: The world labels you as a heartless person, a person
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that is a fool they called you know, the world
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: labels us fools, right, those fools, those Christians, they are
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: so they are so brainwashed and all this other stuff.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You know what the Bible says about that. The Bible
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: says the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So let's keep on speaking as foolish talk. The gospel
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: message is power unto salvation. Somebody's gonna get it, a man,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you Jesus that I woke up to it. Thank
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you Jesus that you rescued me and saved me, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you gave me grace when I was calling you out
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: drunk and high in the year two thousand and one,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: when I was like, yeah, there is no God, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: if you're real, do this, do that. You know, I'm
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: giving God ultimatums as if I could do that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: But he knew my heart, he knew how frail of
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a man I was and I still am. And he said,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to show up in his life. Amen,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to touch his heart, touch his mind
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and change him. And I've never been the same since.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: That was way back in two thousand and one. Ladies
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. This is not a trend. This is not
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a thing. This is not a What did they say
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: when I first got said they said, oh, that's just
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: going to be for a little time, and that he's
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: going to go back to the world. I said, now,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I ain't never going back to the old stuff. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: love the newness of God in my life. Good morning,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Sister Nelson, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the morning Devo, my sister and my friend. So the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: world labels versus God's truth about you. Right, the world
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: labels you X y Z, and God says, no, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: are all of that. You're a special You are a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: holy priesthood, a royal priesthood. Amen. You belong to the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: family God. You belong in the Kingdom of God. You're
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: no longer were gonna have to walk in darkness no more.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: You are pulled out of that darkness and you are
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: pulled in to the light of Christ, the marvelous light
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: of God.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: So, if you buy into the world's systems, labels the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: way the world labels you, you're gonna have a lot
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of self doubt. You're gonna be like, you know what,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: maybe they're right. Maybe I can't do this, So maybe
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not cut to be a born again believer. Maybe
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I can't flow with people at church. Be careful because
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the liar continues to lie. The enemy is going around
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: like a lion, like a roaring lion, trying.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: To devour people. Amen.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And he can't touch the children of God, so he'll
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: touch your neighbor if they're I'm born again, but not
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: on our watch.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: When we see the enemy coming, we know his schemes,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: we know his tactics. Holy Spirit is aware. We have
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: like that holy ghosts Antenna in us. Then the devil
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: starts trying to act crazy in our neighborhoods and our
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: communities and our family.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: We recognize who's.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Responsible for the chaos who's responsible for the craziness, who's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: responsible for the ugliness and for the how do you
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: call it? Just the hatred? We know who's responsible for that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: It's the devil.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He hates all of God's creation.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So I got news for those people who are devil
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: worship birds, Satanists right into all of that stuff. You
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: think he's on your side, he hates you too. He
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: knows your God's creations. A matter of fact, he wants
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: everybody out of here. He doesn't want anybody to get
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the glory. He doesn't want anybody to get the salvation.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want anybody to get the gospel message. He
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: wishes that we all perish, and God wishes that none
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: should perish. The lawyer wishes that none should perish, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: everyone have everlasting life. The devil wishes that all perish
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: and nobody receives the everlasting life. So when you hear
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the voices of this world the way they label us,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: amen silence. So silent those voices, Amen, and embrace your
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: God given identity. We are identified by Christ Jesus, So
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: that way we walk differently, we move differently, we speak differently.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: It's okay, I don't think God's gonna take away our personality.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: That's the whole beautiful thing about God.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: We are who we are. He created us that way. Amen.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Remember he knew us before we knew ourselves. He knew
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: us before our parents do us.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't change how he made us. He changes
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: how we react and respond to the things that already hear.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Once we came to being, once.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: We got old enough to decide for ourselves, well, what
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do, what's right, what's wrong the way we
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: see it. You know, it was so hard for me,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: as a new believer to really stay focused and attached
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: to what God had did in my life, because then
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the label of the world started coming. Oh you were
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: always a good guy, so all you did was you're
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: attached to your goodness now. But that's only gonna be
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a trend. That's only gonna last for a little while.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I even have believers tell me at the time when
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I first got safe, let's see when life really hits you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Let's see when reality really hits you, as if God
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: is not real, as if God is not a reality
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: in my life.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So I was like, now I don't care what y'all say.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's see if the Holy Spirit, you know, if
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: your Holy Spirit is gonna respond. And yeah, Christians was
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: saying that because they didn't like the fact that a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: guy like me, a man. Some Christians didn't like that
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a guy like me got born again because they said
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I was cocky. They said I was this, they said
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I was that. But listen, I called on the name
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: of God. I didn't say Jesus when I got saved.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I said, God, if you're real, coming change me. Litmus
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: tests right, so avoid all kind of like theological arguments
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: and which religion is the right religion. I said, Well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: if you're the true, living, holy, righteous God, come and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: change me.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: That's all I said. Trust me, that believe me.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But I was in a condition of being drunk and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: high at the time, and God's grace met me where
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I was to take me to where he is. He
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: identified me, he rescued me, he recognized me. He said, well,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: your mine anyway, So come on in to the Kingdom
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: of God. So that's a beautiful thing. When you are
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: getting transformed and renewed and redeemed and restored by the
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: power of God's work. The world's label says, nah, that's impossible. No,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: one could get into a personal relationship with the Lord
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and God shows up in their lives and they reject them.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going to reject the possibilities that promises
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the purposes of God. Right, not anymore, because I have
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit recognizing who I am in Him. I have
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit reminded me who I am and who you
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: are in Christ. This message is not just a Christian
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: message just for Christians. This is a message for everybody.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: So let's silence self doubt. If it's like man, that
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: can't be me, I can never be born again. You know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the first year that I was born again, I was
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: telling my wife, my oldest brother, I can't do this.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I can't be one hundred percent believer. Man, it'll be
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. I was trying to convince myself because
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the world was already trying to challenge my belief. The
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: world was already trying to challenge my identity, and the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: labels of the world were saying, nah, that's religious stuff
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that doesn't work.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And God was saying, no.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: You are who I called you to be, be, all
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that I call you to be, and when I try
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: to start dipping into the world, God wasn't having it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: He still is not having it. Amen.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And yes we are under God's grace. And yes you
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: might not see right away of the consequences of sin
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: right away, but don't mess with that, don't play around.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: God is not mocked, He's trustworthy, and his word is
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: full of justice. So what you sow, you're gonna reap.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: If you're sowing hatred, if you sow in unbelief, if
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you're sowing self doubt, if you're sowing worldliness and fleshly
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: desires into your life, you're going to reap the consequences
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: of that. Be mindful of that, Amen. I'm mindful of
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that every day. I always tell myself I'm one bad
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: decision away from losing it all. So that wakes me
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: up when I get into some kind of weird way
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: of thinking. Amen, And remind myself of who I am
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and what God has done in my life. And you
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: can remind yourself the testimony that God has done in
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: your life as well.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: So that way we won't fall for the self doubt
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and we won't embrace the world those labels, but we
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: will only embrace God's get the God given identity that
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: we have. Amen, since the joyce, Good morning, God, bless
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: you a man, welcome back to the morning. Devil's good
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: to see you, Yes, hallelujah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So there's ways that we could align our mindset with
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: God's word.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And you know the quickest way to do that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Read his word and then apply his word. Quickest way,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the short shot right there is to read God's word
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: and apply his word in your life in real time
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and see what happens.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But amount of time.
• 26:34
