- 0:28Speaker 1: so you already know Friday. We shift gears, we get
- 0:31Speaker 1: into that gear of authentic imitationlogy. This is episode one
- 0:35Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight. Authentic imitationology is us believers trying
- 0:42Speaker 1: to imitate the most successful person who has ever lived
- 0:46Speaker 1: on this planet, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. In today's
- 0:49Speaker 1: topic or a title, it's called learning is life long.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Learning is life long. You just don't learn something and say, Okay,
- 0:58Speaker 1: I got it, and then you don't never apply it.
- 1:00Speaker 1: If you learn something and you just have the knowledge
- 1:03Speaker 1: of what you learn and you never apply it, Amen,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you're not doing nothing with what you learn. But when
- 1:08Speaker 1: you learn and you apply what you learn, that becomes
- 1:11Speaker 1: a life long thing, Amen, a lifelong thing. Learning is good. Amen,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Education is good. As well. So we need to do
- 1:20Speaker 1: this the way God wants us to do it, so
- 1:22Speaker 1: we could be the most effective around people in our
- 1:27Speaker 1: own lives and for other lives. Amen, So we can
- 1:29Speaker 1: all benefit off for the finished work of the Lord
- 1:32Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So learning is life long. Education in God's eyes,
- 1:39Speaker 1: is not limited to childhood. It is a life long pursuit, right,
- 1:46Speaker 1: because when you're a child, you're learning how to do
- 1:48Speaker 1: everything for the first time. I look at my daughters
- 1:51Speaker 1: and I'm looking at them and said, these are your
- 1:53Speaker 1: first times doing this that, and the third feeling the
- 1:56Speaker 1: way you feel, feeling this feeling, feeling that feeling. And
- 2:00Speaker 1: I'm looking at that. In my mind, I'm like, this
- 2:02Speaker 1: is your first time going through that. Amen, we've been
- 2:05Speaker 1: through that me mean, and your mom has been there already.
- 2:11Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. So as you watch
- 2:12Speaker 1: them grow, you see, Wow, we've been through that. Hopefully
- 2:16Speaker 1: they make the right choice, make the right decision. We're
- 2:19Speaker 1: going to try to guide them. We're going to try
- 2:20Speaker 1: to teach as long as we can, Amen, because learning
- 2:25Speaker 1: is a lifelong thing. Proverbs chapter nine, versus, verse number nine.

- 4:00Speaker 1: and apply it in our daily lives. Lo, God, there's
- 4:03Speaker 1: no difference, Lord Jesus, between your word and real life.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I see that all the time. Lor God, help us
- 4:09Speaker 1: realize that you are real life. That the Bible and
- 4:12Speaker 1: real life apply. Because your word is a living word.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Your word is alive, active, sharpening any double edged sort.

- 4:22Speaker 1: says it would do in our hearts and our minds
- 4:24Speaker 1: and our lives. So I speak truth, I speak life.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I speak peace over every single situation, over my life,
- 4:31Speaker 1: my wife's life, our children's life, our grandchildren's life, our families,
- 4:35Speaker 1: from the very youngest family member to the very oldest,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and every single person in between. LogD our living parents
- 4:42Speaker 1: that are still here from the time it's recording. I
- 4:45Speaker 1: pray peace, be still, and know that you are God
- 4:48Speaker 1: over their lives as well. When I speak that over
- 4:50Speaker 1: every single person on the other side of the screen
- 4:53Speaker 1: and on the other side of this mic. The peace
- 4:55Speaker 1: of God, the triumph of God, the victorious ways that
- 5:00Speaker 1: God wants us to live, the learning process that he
- 5:03Speaker 1: wants us to know that it's a lifelong learning. That
- 5:05Speaker 1: you will apply that wisdom and understanding by way of
- 5:09Speaker 1: your Holy Spirit in our lives at this point in
- 5:11Speaker 1: our lives, and that we could increase in our faith daily,
- 5:15Speaker 1: knowing that you are the author and perfector of our faith,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and you are able to do exactly what your word
- 5:20Speaker 1: says you can do in our hearts, in our minds
- 5:22Speaker 1: and our lives. Pray it's by faith, knowing that you
- 5:25Speaker 1: hear our prayers and you answer them according to every
- 5:28Speaker 1: single individual situation, every single individual person that needs a
- 5:34Speaker 1: word from you today. Pray it's by faith in the
- 5:36Speaker 1: Lord Jesus name. Amen to the Amen for those who
- 5:39Speaker 1: we say Amen, Let's go forward, Sister Joanne, I'll see you.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome to the Friday edition
- 5:45Speaker 1: of The Morning Devo Authentic imentationology. Let's help. Let's shut
- 5:49Speaker 1: us out. Help me shut us out for like sixty seconds,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and then when we come back, we'll get right into
- 5:53Speaker 1: Proverbs chatter number nine, verse number nine. I'll be right
- 5:57Speaker 1: back a man, We're back. Let's go for it. Learning
- 7:18Speaker 1: is life long. Can you imagine learning something, never applying
- 7:23Speaker 1: what you learn and acting like you got it all
- 7:25Speaker 1: together and then you know everything the Lord's Word, gospeld says,
- 7:30Speaker 1: the wisdom of this world like you could be the
- 7:33Speaker 1: most intelligent person, the highest iq and a whole entire
- 7:37Speaker 1: planet is foolishness to God. Amen. So what we learn,
- 7:41Speaker 1: we apply, and what we apply, Amen, we allow God's
- 7:45Speaker 1: word to take what we've learned to where he wants
- 7:48Speaker 1: it to go and who he wants us to share with, which,
- 7:52Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, I believe the Gospel should be
- 7:54Speaker 1: shared with every single person on this planet, every single
- 7:58Speaker 1: person that connects with you or with me a man.
- 8:00Speaker 1: That's a divine appointment. God wants to do something, He
- 8:03Speaker 1: wants to speak something to someone's life, and he wants
- 8:06Speaker 1: us to share what we're learning in the world through
- 8:09Speaker 1: the Word by way of Holy Spirit. That's what I
- 8:11Speaker 1: truly believe. Amen. I think we're all evangelists assume as
- 8:15Speaker 1: we get saved, we have something to talk about that
- 8:17Speaker 1: has eternal value. We have something to say that has
- 8:20Speaker 1: eternal life. We have someone that we can introduce to
- 8:23Speaker 1: every single person that we meet that offers eternal life.
- 8:27Speaker 1: And that's the Lord Jesus Christ. So let's get into
- 8:29Speaker 1: this word amen, as we find it in the scriptures.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I think a man, I believe is because just the
- 8:35Speaker 1: atmosphere that we're in right starting in school again, and
- 8:39Speaker 1: that season of learning for our children, and maybe you're
- 8:42Speaker 1: in college, high school, wherever you find yourselves, middle school,
- 8:46Speaker 1: a man, and you have this learning process going on
- 8:49Speaker 1: and sometimes well most of the time, or it should
- 8:52Speaker 1: be that you're learning something new every day in school
- 8:55Speaker 1: the first time. Like I love to see young people
- 8:58Speaker 1: learning something for the first time and then they're so
- 9:00Speaker 1: excited about it and they come home and tell their parents.
- 9:04Speaker 1: They go home and tell their parents say, look what
- 9:05Speaker 1: I learned today, And a lot of parents are like, cool,
- 9:08Speaker 1: that's very cool. But in our minds we're like, yeah,
- 9:10Speaker 1: we know that already. But to be humble, right, we say,
- 9:13Speaker 1: we have to share the same excitement of when someone
- 9:16Speaker 1: learns something for the first time. Salvation is the same way. Man,
- 9:20Speaker 1: when we get saved, we are excited. We go and
- 9:22Speaker 1: tell people and some people are like yeah, whatever, But
- 9:26Speaker 1: other people who know Christ, they're so excited and like, yes,
- 9:30Speaker 1: let's go. Amen, let's learn because learning is life long.
- 9:34Speaker 1: So let's get into this Morning Devo really quick. Let's
- 9:37Speaker 1: see if I get the right button here, Amen, and
- 9:41Speaker 1: here we go authentic commentationology. Like I said, every Friday,
- 9:45Speaker 1: we try to do these. We're in episode one hundred
- 9:47Speaker 1: and twenty eight. God is faithful, He's good to his
- 9:50Speaker 1: word man, and he's good all the time. Sister Joyce,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to
- 9:55Speaker 1: the morning Devo, my sister and my friend. Thank you
- 9:57Speaker 1: for the blessings over the group, blessing to us. Learning
- 10:02Speaker 1: is life long, not just a one time deal a man,
- 10:05Speaker 1: It's life long. Proverbs chapter nine, verse number nine. The
- 10:08Speaker 1: Bible says, give instruction to a wise man, and he
- 10:13Speaker 1: will become even wiser. So when you give instruction to
- 10:18Speaker 1: a wise person, that person becomes even wiser. Teach a
- 10:21Speaker 1: righteous man and he will increase his learning. So I'm
- 10:27Speaker 1: thinking the opposite applies. If you give instruction to a fool,
- 10:30Speaker 1: that fool will become more foolish, right, because they don't
- 10:33Speaker 1: receive the teachings of the Lord. They don't receive instruction,
- 10:37Speaker 1: they don't receive correction either. Teach a righteous man and
- 10:41Speaker 1: he will decrease in his learning. Right. In other words,
- 10:45Speaker 1: the opposite applies. But we're talking about the good part
- 10:48Speaker 1: of this scripture. We're talking all of God's scripture is good.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I'm talking about the good results of this is when
- 10:54Speaker 1: we get instructed and we're wise, we have the wisdom
- 10:58Speaker 1: of God, we will become even wise or why? Because
- 11:01Speaker 1: God is an ever ever increasing god a man. He
- 11:05Speaker 1: wants to increase our faith. He wants to increase our understanding.
- 11:08Speaker 1: He wants to increase our wisdom. And when we're taught
- 11:11Speaker 1: and we're righteous, we're made righteous in Christ through Christ,
- 11:14Speaker 1: because of Christ, then we will increase in learning. And
- 11:19Speaker 1: it's a lifelong thing. It's a gift from God. Man,
- 11:22Speaker 1: I can't take advantage of this. You can't take advantage
- 11:24Speaker 1: of this in a private way. We take advantage in
- 11:27Speaker 1: a humble way, a man knowing that if it wasn't
- 11:29Speaker 1: for God in our lives where we will be. Brother Carlos,
- 11:33Speaker 1: I see you, bro, Good morning, God blessed. It's because
- 11:35Speaker 1: to see you in the morning. Deep with my brother
- 11:36Speaker 1: and my friend. So we are in this together. We're
- 11:39Speaker 1: learning together. It's life long, right. Some are further along
- 11:43Speaker 1: than others. So like when I was born again, I
- 11:46Speaker 1: was fresh into the Kingdom of God. I guess I
- 11:50Speaker 1: was telling the brothers what I thought was God was
- 11:53Speaker 1: saying what God was saying, and God was telling me
- 11:55Speaker 1: and God was doing. And they were looking at me like, yeah,
- 11:58Speaker 1: I know it's true. Is going to do all of
- 12:01Speaker 1: that in your life. So they were as excited as
- 12:04Speaker 1: I was. A man. You know what I'm talking about.
- 12:06Speaker 1: When you first got saved, you're excited. You go and
- 12:08Speaker 1: tell everybody, your friends, your family, you know, your boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever.
- 12:12Speaker 1: You tell them, and some of them are excited with
- 12:14Speaker 1: you for you, and some of them are like yeah whatever,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and other people are like just hating all you. They're like, oh,
- 12:19Speaker 1: you found religion. No, we don't find religion. When we
- 12:23Speaker 1: have Christ in our heart, in our mind and he's
- 12:25Speaker 1: transforming us, we find our relationship with the Lord Jesus.
- 12:29Speaker 1: We are made right with him. We are right standing
- 12:31Speaker 1: with him. We have the peace of God. Amen, Because
- 12:34Speaker 1: we have the peace with God. So we have the
- 12:36Speaker 1: peace of God. So we're excited because we know we
- 12:40Speaker 1: are changing. We know we found something that we can
- 12:44Speaker 1: rely on, the truth of God's word, the power of
- 12:46Speaker 1: God's word, the authority of God's word. Amen. He changed
- 12:49Speaker 1: our hearts, He changes our life, He changes our desires. Everything.
- 12:53Speaker 1: He delivers us from the things that we thought were
- 12:57Speaker 1: lifelong addictions. We thought it was life long bondage. And know,
- 13:02Speaker 1: the only thing that's life long that I could see
- 13:05Speaker 1: is learning of God, life long and this side of
- 13:08Speaker 1: eternity and on the other side of eternity forever with Him.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Learning more about who God is in our lives. That's
- 13:15Speaker 1: powerful to me. That's powerful because it's life long. So
- 13:19Speaker 1: no one can say. The Bible says, if you say
- 13:21Speaker 1: you got all together, that you got this and that, Amen,
- 13:25Speaker 1: and you're prideful about it, be careful you're next to
- 13:28Speaker 1: the fall. The fall is coming for your life. Don't
- 13:31Speaker 1: be prideful. Amen. What we learn we learn together, right,
- 13:35Speaker 1: Share what you learn, especially if it's things of the Lord,
- 13:39Speaker 1: especially if it's Kingdom principles, especially when you're trying to
- 13:42Speaker 1: stay kingdom minded. Surround yourself with kingdom people. Amen. We
- 13:46Speaker 1: want to be made wiser, be taught, be instructed by
- 13:50Speaker 1: wise people. There's people that know the word way more
- 13:53Speaker 1: than I know the word. Amen. But we all have
- 13:56Speaker 1: the same Holy Spirit that lives in us a man.
- 13:59Speaker 1: The same spirit that rose Jesus from the grave is
- 14:01Speaker 1: the same spirit that lives in us. Don't you know
- 14:04Speaker 1: that your body is the temple of the Living God
- 14:07Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit. Amen, So we need to
- 14:10Speaker 1: take care of our temple. We need to be ready
- 14:12Speaker 1: for instructions. We need to be ready to apply what
- 14:15Speaker 1: we learn. Amen. Because we all know and we start
- 14:18Speaker 1: to realize that learning is life long, right. So education,
- 14:25Speaker 1: in God's eyes is not limited to childhood. It's not
- 14:29Speaker 1: only when we're kids that we learn, right. We learn
- 14:32Speaker 1: how to walk, talk, We learn all of that, right,
- 14:35Speaker 1: Praise the Lord, And we're learning and we're being taught
- 14:38Speaker 1: as we grow up. Then we get to a certain
- 14:40Speaker 1: age that we feel like we don't want to be
- 14:42Speaker 1: taught no more, that we know it all, like it's crazy.
- 14:45Speaker 1: When I was twelve or thirteen, I started telling my parents,
- 14:49Speaker 1: y'all don't know what you're talking about. Things are different now,
- 14:52Speaker 1: you know, we go through that cycle, well, starting earlier.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I have a ten year old that's telling us already
- 14:57Speaker 1: that parents. Parents don't know this, and you don't know that.
- 15:01Speaker 1: People go through different stages at different ages. Amen. But
- 15:05Speaker 1: it's a life long journey. It's a lifelong experience. Learning
- 15:11Speaker 1: is lifelong, Brother, Frank, I see you, God, bless you.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Good morning. God bless you in your family and everyone
- 15:16Speaker 1: on the morning. Deva, Brother, Frank, is the blessing out.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Thank you so much, my brother and my friend for
- 15:20Speaker 1: sharing and for blessing us and for coming through. So
- 15:23Speaker 1: learning is life long, right. Education begins with God. It's
- 15:30Speaker 1: nurtured in the home first. It's rooted in the scriptures
- 15:34Speaker 1: in the Holy Bible. Amen. And we prioritize wisdom over information. Yeah.
- 15:41Speaker 1: I want to learn daily from God's word from the
- 15:43Speaker 1: Lord Amen. Of course, who wouldn't want to learn daily
- 15:46Speaker 1: from God's Word? But I need the wisdom Amen, to
- 15:50Speaker 1: apply when I'm learning. Right. I hope that makes sense.
- 15:53Speaker 1: If you don't have the wisdom to apply what you're learning,
- 15:56Speaker 1: you're just increasing in your knowledge, but you're not increasing
- 16:01Speaker 1: like the Bible says here in wisdom. Make sure I
- 16:05Speaker 1: said that increasing and getting wiser right, Teach a righteous man,
- 16:11Speaker 1: and he will increase what in his learning. You're like
- 16:15Speaker 1: almost eager to learn more. But God knows, He knows
- 16:19Speaker 1: every single individual. He created us, so he knows how
- 16:23Speaker 1: much is too much right and how little is too little.
- 16:27Speaker 1: So he's going to ever increase us in our understanding, ever,
- 16:31Speaker 1: increase us in our wisdom, ever increase us in our faith.
- 16:36Speaker 1: He knows exactly the plans for our lives, and they're perfect, right,
- 16:40Speaker 1: they're perfect. So this learning should shape us, It should
- 16:45Speaker 1: shape our character, because if you want to follow the
- 16:49Speaker 1: patterns of this world, the Bible is clear it leads
- 16:52Speaker 1: really to destruction. There's a broadway that leads to destruction.
- 16:55Speaker 1: A lot of people on that road, that broadway to destruction.
- 16:59Speaker 1: But it's the road that we find ourselves on that
- 17:02Speaker 1: although we are restricted to do this, that, and the third,
- 17:05Speaker 1: we could literally do whatever we want, the Bible says,
- 17:08Speaker 1: but not everything that the people on the broadway. Not
- 17:11Speaker 1: everything that people in this world are doing will benefit us.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Everything they're being benefited amen partying, smoking, drinking, having random
- 17:20Speaker 1: affairs with random people, and they call that fun, and
- 17:24Speaker 1: the Bible calls it's sin. And we as believers, we
- 17:27Speaker 1: know that sin. And we know that if we're not
- 17:30Speaker 1: careful and we're trying to take somebody out or unbury
- 17:33Speaker 1: somebody out of their sin, the Bible says, be careful,
- 17:36Speaker 1: you might fall into the same pattern. You might fall
- 17:38Speaker 1: into that same sin. How do we do it? Then
- 17:40Speaker 1: we go there preyed up. We go there with the
- 17:43Speaker 1: knowledge and wisdom and understanding of the Lord. We go
- 17:46Speaker 1: there non judgmental. We go there on the mission to
- 17:49Speaker 1: teach those who want to be taught, to reach those
- 17:52Speaker 1: who need to be reached, and to speak to those
- 17:55Speaker 1: who need or want to hear or listen to the
- 17:58Speaker 1: gospel message that we offer. That we have, that we
- 18:01Speaker 1: know that transforms and renews, redeems, restores. We know that
- 18:05Speaker 1: God is a god of signs, miracles, and wonders. We
- 18:08Speaker 1: know that God could take you from darkness into his
- 18:10Speaker 1: marvelous light. There's a lot of people out there that
- 18:12Speaker 1: don't know. We can see a lot of people are
- 18:14Speaker 1: still blind. So we go with humility, We go humbly. Amen.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Now I'm really really thinking hard, Amen, And I don't know.
- 18:24Speaker 1: I haven't come to a conclusion about all these evangelists
- 18:29Speaker 1: out there going to wicked areas at night and then
- 18:34Speaker 1: making videos and then saying, look, demons are manifesting. Look
- 18:38Speaker 1: we're being persecuted. Look this person doesn't want Jesus. Look,
- 18:42Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You know, I don't think
- 18:45Speaker 1: that's wisdom. Wisdom tells me, listen, if you go out
- 18:49Speaker 1: after ten o'clock, you go into a nightclub, right, and
- 18:53Speaker 1: you start telling people that they're all going to hell.
- 18:55Speaker 1: This third wisdom tells me, yeah, you might get confronted
- 18:59Speaker 1: by demons. You might get confronted by someone who's angry.
- 19:02Speaker 1: You might get hurt, you might get assaulted. Amen, that's wisdom.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I know that you know that, right. But yet you
- 19:09Speaker 1: have these people on social media going to all these
- 19:12Speaker 1: places and saying they must hear the gospel. Yes, they
- 19:16Speaker 1: must hear the gospel. But I think during the day, amen,
- 19:21Speaker 1: because at night they're in the element. At night, they're
- 19:24Speaker 1: in that element of sin, they're in their sin element, Amen,
- 19:30Speaker 1: and then they're surrounded by other people who are their
- 19:32Speaker 1: sin element. So unless God has instructed you to go
- 19:38Speaker 1: to those places and equipped you, and then someone I
- 19:42Speaker 1: guess when they're not alone. I was gonna say alone,
- 19:44Speaker 1: because someone is filming them. You know, hopefully they're preyed up.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Hopefully that's their mission. Hopefully that's what God told them
- 19:50Speaker 1: to do, and hopefully it's not just for views and
- 19:53Speaker 1: clicks and to make money on social media or to
- 19:56Speaker 1: make themselves look like they're holier than all the rest
- 19:59Speaker 1: of us. A man, I'm unsettled with that stuff. A man,
- 20:02Speaker 1: help me pray about it. And if you have a
- 20:04Speaker 1: comment on that, you know what I'm talking about, If
- 20:07Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying about, and leave a comment,
- 20:08Speaker 1: let me know what your thoughts on those things. Since
- 20:11Speaker 1: the joy says Amen, good word. Spiritual learning is our
- 20:14Speaker 1: daily bread from heaven. Yes, daily bread. You see what
- 20:18Speaker 1: she said, daily bread. Since Joys. We love you, God,
- 20:20Speaker 1: bless you, Thank you for coming to the morning Devo.
- 20:23Speaker 1: So learning is lifelong right, and learning should educate us
- 20:30Speaker 1: and bring fesian six four, bring them up in the
- 20:33Speaker 1: discipline and instruction of the Lord. Right. So it's God's
- 20:37Speaker 1: design for education to go beyond academics, to be going
- 20:41Speaker 1: beyond maths, science, social studies. It's about forming golly character,
- 20:47Speaker 1: and golly character becomes obedient. We want to be obedient
- 20:51Speaker 1: to the word of God. When we have golly characters,
- 20:55Speaker 1: earthly teachers or teachers of the Gospel, that's a sacred role,
- 21:00Speaker 1: a sacred role. You're teaching people, Amen. And unfortunately we
- 21:04Speaker 1: have teachers who are teaching false things. But fortunately, right
- 21:09Speaker 1: by the grace of God, we have teachers that are
- 21:10Speaker 1: teaching us the right way. James three and one says,
- 21:14Speaker 1: not many of you should become teachers. James three and
- 21:18Speaker 1: one says, not many of you should become teachers, for
- 21:22Speaker 1: you know that who we who teach will be judged
- 21:26Speaker 1: with greater strictness. All people are judging me. I'm trying
- 21:30Speaker 1: to do the right thing. Well, you're just part of
- 21:32Speaker 1: the scripture. The scripture says, if you want to be
- 21:34Speaker 1: a teacher, Amen, especially things of the Lord, you're gonna
- 21:38Speaker 1: be judged in a stricter way. Oh they're jealous of me.
- 21:41Speaker 1: No they're not. You're just being judged in a strict way.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Teaching is a calling that carries responsibility and accountability. Responsibility
- 21:52Speaker 1: and accountability before God. You're responsible for what you learned, Amen,
- 21:57Speaker 1: and you apply learning is lifelong, and then you're accountable.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And then did I just say accountable, and my goodness,
- 22:08Speaker 1: I just lost it and responsible. Now, responsible and accountable.
- 22:13Speaker 1: God says, Okay, I'm gonna give you the responsibility to
- 22:16Speaker 1: teach x y z to these people over here. Amen,
- 22:21Speaker 1: you're responsible, then He's gonna hold you accountable. Gods will
- 22:24Speaker 1: be like, listen, I taught you x y z. Why
- 22:26Speaker 1: aren't you applying what you've learned and spread that the
- 22:29Speaker 1: way I want you to spread it? Amen? So God
- 22:32Speaker 1: got us. Amen, He's instructing us. He's leading us the
- 22:35Speaker 1: teacher that's inside of every single one of us, born
- 22:39Speaker 1: again believers, children of God, righteous people, right, the royal priesthood.
- 22:44Speaker 1: We have this learning process that's lifelong, and we're being
- 22:47Speaker 1: led to truth, now led to a lie. We're not
- 22:50Speaker 1: led to the darkness, but led to the light of Christ,
- 22:53Speaker 1: the life of Christ. Amen. And we're learning and we're
- 22:56Speaker 1: increasing in our learning, We're increasing in our faith wisdom. Right.
- 23:01Speaker 1: So you have a life experience, right, We all have life.
- 23:05Speaker 1: As we get older, we're experiencing things. Right. So I'm
- 23:09Speaker 1: almost in my mid fifties in February, Lord willing, if
- 23:12Speaker 1: the Lord allows, I'll be in my mid fifties this February,
- 23:16Speaker 1: coming up from the time it's recording. Amen. So I
- 23:21Speaker 1: know I have life experience, right, So then if I
- 23:25Speaker 1: meet a twenty year old I could apply some life experience.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Whether or not they want to take that experience as
- 23:34Speaker 1: teaching or if they want to listen or not, it's
- 23:37Speaker 1: up to them. But at least I have something to share.
- 23:39Speaker 1: You have something to share if you've been living in
- 23:41Speaker 1: this world and you have a testimony from when you
- 23:46Speaker 1: were in the darkness before Christ, and now you have
- 23:49Speaker 1: a testimony of when Christ met you where you were,
- 23:52Speaker 1: and now you have a testimony of what you can
- 23:54Speaker 1: tell people. Amen. You're ever increasing in that, Amen, because
- 23:59Speaker 1: you know the truth. You know the way, you know
- 24:01Speaker 1: the life. Amen, And that's the Lord Jesus Christ. So
- 24:04Speaker 1: go ahead and share. Don't be shy. Amen. People are
- 24:07Speaker 1: actually relying on you to testify. They don't want to
- 24:11Speaker 1: admit it. They might not look like they're listening, or
- 24:16Speaker 1: they might not act like they need what we have,
- 24:19Speaker 1: but they do. Amen. Go ahead and take the risk
- 24:22Speaker 1: and share your story. Go ahead and take the risk
- 24:24Speaker 1: and learn from the word of God. Go ahead and
- 24:27Speaker 1: take the risks and apply what you learn. Go ahead
- 24:29Speaker 1: and take a risk today. Amen, and go ahead and
- 24:33Speaker 1: use your wise wisdom, your golly wisdom, Amen, to go
- 24:38Speaker 1: ahead and approach somebody with love, grace and mercy. Go
- 24:41Speaker 1: ahead and speak life over someone. Go ahead and encourage somebody.
- 24:46Speaker 1: That's all golly wisdom. Learning from God is life long. Amen.
- 24:51Speaker 1: I hope you understand that no one has arrived. Right.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Remember what the apostle said, I think you arrived, man,
- 24:58Speaker 1: he said he didn't even arrive. You know what I'm saying.
- 25:01Speaker 1: We're all learning. We're all striving to do better what
- 25:04Speaker 1: we learn, what we learn, what we know, Amen, we
- 25:08Speaker 1: grow from what we know. Amen. In the streets I
- 25:12Speaker 1: always hear we don't do better because we don't know better.
- 25:15Speaker 1: When you know better, you do better. Right. It's like that,
- 25:20Speaker 1: And it's the same similar principle in the kingdom, but
- 25:23Speaker 1: it's a higher principle in the Kingdom. Amen. The world,
- 25:26Speaker 1: this kingdom of this world is at a low frequency.
- 25:29Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God is at a high frequency, a
- 25:32Speaker 1: holy frequency, Amen, not a common frequency. I don't want
- 25:37Speaker 1: to be a common Christian. You shouldn't want to be
- 25:38Speaker 1: a common Christian. Just going and doing the abcs of Christianity, right,
- 25:43Speaker 1: just going with the flow, doing what everybody else is doing,
- 25:46Speaker 1: being cookie cutter Christians. No, you don't want to be common.
- 25:50Speaker 1: You want to be holy. I want to be holy.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I want to be everything that the Word says I am.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I want to be called what Jesus called me, what
- 26:00Speaker 1: he calls you, amen, what he calls his children. So
- 26:03Speaker 1: I'm out of time. Listen. I hope you have a wonderful,
- 26:06Speaker 1: great weekend. I hope this inspires you to read the
- 26:08Speaker 1: word Proverbs chapter nine, verse nine, that's where we were.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Read the whole chapter nine of Proverbs today and see
- 26:16Speaker 1: what happens, and then see what God is teaching, and
- 26:19Speaker 1: apply what you learn, because what you learn is life
- 26:22Speaker 1: long and life giving, because we have the eternal One
- 26:25Speaker 1: living within us by way of His Holy Spirit. So
- 26:27Speaker 1: God bless you all. God bless you all. God keep
- 26:30Speaker 1: you all, and remember always that God is Good. Peace
