- 5:30Speaker 1: you that he is exactly who he says he is
- 5:33Speaker 1: in Jesus Name. I'll be right back, man, man, let's
- 6:55Speaker 1: go for it, sister join, I see you. Good morning,
- 6:56Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome back to the one to devote
- 6:58Speaker 1: my sister, my friend. We are in Romans chapter number
- 7:04Speaker 1: twelve versus six to eight. Let's get to it. Let's
- 7:06Speaker 1: put it on a screen for those who are just listening,
- 7:09Speaker 1: no worries, no problems. I'm going to read the word
- 7:12Speaker 1: and the scripture word for word, Amen, so that way
- 7:14Speaker 1: you won't miss what we're seeing and what we're talking
- 7:17Speaker 1: about today on the morning. The screen ready for those
- 7:20Speaker 1: who are streaming live with me, a man. For those
- 7:23Speaker 1: are watching, I'm going to put something on the screen
- 7:26Speaker 1: so you can see the scripture for yourself. Is beautiful thing,
- 7:31Speaker 1: A beautiful thing. When we come together, and we read
- 7:33Speaker 1: the scriptures together. Amen, So that way we could be
- 7:36Speaker 1: all the same page, literally, when it comes to what
- 7:39Speaker 1: we're seeing, what we're reading, and what we're hearing from
- 7:42Speaker 1: the Lord. Amen. His word is alive, his word is active,
- 7:45Speaker 1: His word is sharper than any double edged short and
- 7:48Speaker 1: his word is able to perform exactly what his word
- 7:53Speaker 1: is intended to perform in your life and in my life.
- 7:55Speaker 1: God is that good. He's that big of a God. Amen.
- 7:58Speaker 1: He's eternal, and his impact is eternal, a man eternal
- 8:03Speaker 1: impact to Dan and morning devo. So let's get to
- 8:05Speaker 1: the scripture Romans, chapter number twelve, verses six to eight.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Since we have gifts that differ, love it. We have
- 8:14Speaker 1: different gifts. Put those different gifts together and we have
- 8:17Speaker 1: a unified purpose. Amen. Unity, Please, Lord, help us be
- 8:23Speaker 1: unified for your sake. The body of Christ coming together
- 8:28Speaker 1: gives the enemy a headache. Since we have gifts that differ,
- 8:35Speaker 1: according to the grace given to us, each of us
- 8:40Speaker 1: is to use them accordingly. If someone has the gift
- 8:44Speaker 1: of prophecy, let him speak a new message from God
- 8:48Speaker 1: to his people in proportion to the faith possessed. If
- 8:53Speaker 1: service in the act of serving, or he who teaches
- 8:58Speaker 1: in the act of teaching, or he who encourages in
- 9:02Speaker 1: the act of encouragement. He who gives with generosity, he
- 9:07Speaker 1: who leads with diligence, he who shows mercy in caring
- 9:12Speaker 1: for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are powerful, eternal, impactful
- 9:19Speaker 1: gifts that God has divvied out by himself right for
- 9:24Speaker 1: his purpose, for his plan, for his redemptive work on
- 9:28Speaker 1: this earth. Do you see the gifts here? Some of
- 9:32Speaker 1: them are gifts a prophecy. Let them prophesy. Right, give
- 9:37Speaker 1: a new message from God to his people, in proportion
- 9:41Speaker 1: with what in proportion with what they know, in proportion
- 9:44Speaker 1: with the amount of people in the crowd know, in
- 9:46Speaker 1: proportion to the faith that we have. Faith is a
- 9:51Speaker 1: gift from God. Yes, if service, keep on serving. Right,
- 9:56Speaker 1: if you're teaching, go ahead and teach. We want to
- 10:00Speaker 1: encourage people. Yes, encouragement a gift from God. Go ahead
- 10:06Speaker 1: and encourage people. We want to give with generosity a
- 10:11Speaker 1: gift from God. Look at that, Go ahead and give.
- 10:14Speaker 1: You want to lead, lead with diligence, show mercy, show mercy, right,
- 10:20Speaker 1: care for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are eternal impactful
- 10:27Speaker 1: gifts from God for eternity. You and I will be
- 10:32Speaker 1: surprised how many people we might automatically think, oh, they
- 10:37Speaker 1: you know, they've been treated kindly. You don't know that, Amen.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I've been in restaurants and I've talked spoken to the
- 10:45Speaker 1: waitress and the waiter. Amen, how you having, how you doing?
- 10:50Speaker 1: How you having? You're having a good day? And They'll
- 10:52Speaker 1: stop sometimes and tell me some stories. I'll be like wow,
- 10:55Speaker 1: So I'll be like, bless you God, bless you. You know.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I hope you get they gets better, and I make
- 11:00Speaker 1: sure I try to leave them the best tip that
- 11:03Speaker 1: I can offer at that moment, in that time, Amen,
- 11:06Speaker 1: because man, we never know. An act of kindness could
- 11:10Speaker 1: shift shift somebody's life, An active kindness could shift somebody's
- 11:14Speaker 1: life and impact them for eternity. Since the joys I
- 11:18Speaker 1: see you, good morning, God, bless you, good morning. She
- 11:21Speaker 1: sends group blessings to us all in Jesus name, Thank
- 11:25Speaker 1: you for your blessings. I could, really, I really, you know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: receive those blessings, keep them, keep the blessings coming with
- 11:32Speaker 1: my sister. Amen. So let me get to my notes
- 11:35Speaker 1: real quick. Amen. We're almost out of time, here. I
- 11:39Speaker 1: started just a little late because there's some tech issues here,
- 11:43Speaker 1: but we're here spiritual gifts, wisdom. That's a gift. Amen.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You might be thinking, well, everybody knows this and everybody
- 11:53Speaker 1: knows that, and not necessarily you know. And I want
- 11:57Speaker 1: to say that five years ago, maybe even longer than that,
- 12:01Speaker 1: I was witnessing street preaching. Can you imagine Sam doing
- 12:04Speaker 1: street preaching the street evangelism. And I walked up to
- 12:08Speaker 1: a couple and I said, have you I asked the question,
- 12:11Speaker 1: have you ever heard the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ?
- 12:14Speaker 1: And in my mind I was like, yeah, you know,
- 12:16Speaker 1: they gonna say, yeah, I heard it. So they gotta
- 12:18Speaker 1: either say I believe or not. But they sincerely, I
- 12:22Speaker 1: don't know what country they were from. I was thinking
- 12:25Speaker 1: they were citizens for the United States, and they said
- 12:28Speaker 1: they never heard the gospel message of the Lord Jesus.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Grown couple looked like they was in their mid fifties.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They said they were married for years, and we took
- 12:42Speaker 1: it from there, Holy Spirit took it from there. I
- 12:44Speaker 1: should say, Amen. So we can't automatically assume, we can't
- 12:48Speaker 1: automatically think that everybody has heard the gospel. We can't
- 12:51Speaker 1: automatically assume or think that everybody has the wisdom from
- 12:55Speaker 1: God and that they know what they're talking about. Nos
- 13:00Speaker 1: of God leads men and women to repent. The wisdom
- 13:03Speaker 1: of God is a gift that God gives us to
- 13:06Speaker 1: spread this message powerfully and give somebody a revelation from
- 13:11Speaker 1: God by way of Holy Spirit working through us. So
- 13:14Speaker 1: spiritual gifts like wisdom, faith, healing, right, prophecy, teaching, and
- 13:21Speaker 1: discernment are all examples of these eternal gifts that have
- 13:29Speaker 1: eternal impact on the people that we come across. Hey, man,
- 13:34Speaker 1: that's how powerful this is. That's how serious this is,
- 13:37Speaker 1: and that's how I feel like that. You feel responsible
- 13:41Speaker 1: after you know something and after God shows you something. Amen,
- 13:45Speaker 1: you feel responsible for sharing what you know. And man,
- 13:48Speaker 1: this is not something that we hoard. We don't hide
- 13:51Speaker 1: a man. We're not closet Christians. We go out to
- 13:54Speaker 1: the b highways and byways, supermarkets. Everywhere we are. We
- 13:58Speaker 1: bring the Kingdom of God with us. Everywhere we are,
- 14:01Speaker 1: we bring Holy Spirit with us. We are the living
- 14:04Speaker 1: temples of God here on this planet. The temple of
- 14:08Speaker 1: God is you, are, you and me. We're the temples
- 14:12Speaker 1: of God. Walking across the earth, walking across our neighborhoods,
- 14:16Speaker 1: walking across our communities, going to church. When you go
- 14:19Speaker 1: to a church building, there's no power until the people
- 14:23Speaker 1: of God get to the building. Amen. The only power
- 14:25Speaker 1: the building has is the electrical power. Right. Other than that,
- 14:30Speaker 1: no power. There's no you know, no supernatural thing about
- 14:37Speaker 1: the bricks and mortar of a building. It's when the
- 14:41Speaker 1: Body of Christ enters the building that the power comes
- 14:46Speaker 1: to be the power of Holy spirit. Amen. Spiritual gifts.
- 14:50Speaker 1: So we read in Romans twelve versus six to eight.
- 14:53Speaker 1: You could also cross reference First Corinthians, chapter twelve, the
- 14:57Speaker 1: whole chapter. Amen, we have these gifts that actually cause
- 15:06Speaker 1: people to want more of what we have. Amen. You
- 15:11Speaker 1: ever met somebody said, I don't know about it. There's
- 15:13Speaker 1: something different about you. Amen. That's the glory of God
- 15:17Speaker 1: that we're carrying. We're glory carriers. Oh, I don't know.
- 15:20Speaker 1: When you walked in, I felt some peace. I can't
- 15:23Speaker 1: tell you how many times people walk into my studio
- 15:25Speaker 1: and they said, man feels like so peaceful in here.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Why because I have the Word of God playing two
- 15:31Speaker 1: for seven in my studio. A man like a whisper
- 15:35Speaker 1: and the word of God is what causes people to
- 15:38Speaker 1: feel the peace. It's not me. I'm not the guy
- 15:43Speaker 1: that's walking in peace two for seven, but I have
- 15:46Speaker 1: peace in me two for seven by way of Holy Spirit. Amen.
- 15:51Speaker 1: So there's no hocus pocus, there's no sage, there's no
- 15:54Speaker 1: crystals up in here, none of that. It's all the
- 15:57Speaker 1: power of God by way of his word word, working
- 16:01Speaker 1: and marinating all throughout the studio a man and impacting
- 16:06Speaker 1: whoever comes in. I see it, and I'm amazed every
- 16:09Speaker 1: time somebody walks in and says that. I'm like, God,
- 16:11Speaker 1: You're good. It's your word that gives us peace. A man.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Is your grace, and it's your mercy, it's your powers.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It's your giftings that you apply and you supply to
- 16:25Speaker 1: every single person who called upon your name to be saved.
- 16:29Speaker 1: These gifts are selfless. These gifts are others focused. We
- 16:34Speaker 1: read it in Romans twelve six to eight, right. We
- 16:38Speaker 1: saw that these gifts, if you have the gift of prophecy,
- 16:42Speaker 1: go ahead and prophesy a new word from God right
- 16:45Speaker 1: for that person. As long as the prophecy aligns with
- 16:49Speaker 1: the word, the God is a prophecy that will come
- 16:51Speaker 1: to pass. If it's a prophecy outside of the will,
- 16:55Speaker 1: outside of the purpose, outside of the plan of God,
- 16:58Speaker 1: a man of those are prophilized, I call him then
- 17:00Speaker 1: our prophecies. If you want to serve a man that's
- 17:04Speaker 1: others focused, go ahead and serve. Serve with a cheerful
- 17:08Speaker 1: smile on your face. Serve with kindness, Amen, No mumbler complaint.
- 17:13Speaker 1: If you're serving in the Kingdom of God and you
- 17:15Speaker 1: find yourself rumbling and mumbling and complaining, give yourself a rest,
- 17:19Speaker 1: give yourself a break. Go ahead and sit down. It's okay.
- 17:21Speaker 1: The world is not going to stop. If you or
- 17:24Speaker 1: I need a break, Amen, I'll tell you right now,
- 17:27Speaker 1: one hundred percent, the world is not going to stop.
- 17:30Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you might need a man
- 17:33Speaker 1: a break for more than a week or two. If
- 17:37Speaker 1: you feel this pressure and you feel this tension, Amen. I,
- 17:42Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, I believe that ministry shouldn't burn
- 17:47Speaker 1: a minister out. According to God's word, seems like He
- 17:52Speaker 1: gives us all the supply that we need, all the courage,
- 17:55Speaker 1: all the energy right we need by way of Holy Spirit.
- 17:58Speaker 1: As soon as we go outside of that of His
- 18:01Speaker 1: will his purpose. Then we're gonna be doing it on
- 18:04Speaker 1: our own. And then that's when we're gonna physically get tired,
- 18:07Speaker 1: mentally get tired. Amen. The spirit is always willing. The
- 18:11Speaker 1: only thing about only weakness is the flesh. The flesh
- 18:15Speaker 1: is weak. The spirit is always willing. So as long
- 18:17Speaker 1: as we're in the spirit of God, Amen, active in
- 18:21Speaker 1: the spiritual things of God, active in the gift that
- 18:24Speaker 1: He has given you and me, we should not tire
- 18:26Speaker 1: and grow weary. The Bible says, don't grow weary and
- 18:29Speaker 1: tired of doing good. Amen. So if you're burned out,
- 18:32Speaker 1: go ahead and rest, pray, surround yourself with believers, brothers,
- 18:36Speaker 1: and sisters who will encourage you. Because encouragement, evidently, according
- 18:40Speaker 1: to Romans twelve six to eight, is a gift. Encouragement
- 18:43Speaker 1: is a gift. Amen. Giving generously is a gift freely.
- 18:47Speaker 1: You were given freely. You give, But that's a gift
- 18:50Speaker 1: of God. Amen. You can't force nobody to give. You
- 18:54Speaker 1: can't force generosity. You can encourage generosity. But now that
- 18:58Speaker 1: we know it's a gift from God, Amen, I think
- 19:01Speaker 1: that means not everybody would have it to gift. The
- 19:03Speaker 1: generosity I've met people of the Lord that are cheap
- 19:09Speaker 1: that they don't you know, they don't want to help,
- 19:12Speaker 1: they don't want to give. Amen, because they think there's
- 19:15Speaker 1: motives for the people that are asking for the gifts. Amen.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I've been there, done that, a man. I've been in
- 19:21Speaker 1: communities that it's hard to give because you just don't
- 19:25Speaker 1: see the impact of the giving. It seems like it's
- 19:29Speaker 1: only for a certain group of people. But regardless purpose
- 19:34Speaker 1: in your heart, what you're going to give, when you
- 19:36Speaker 1: go ahead and give, and give cheerfully. God doesn't need
- 19:40Speaker 1: our money, he doesn't need our finances. He doesn't need
- 19:43Speaker 1: anything from us a man. As a matter of fact,
- 19:45Speaker 1: he doesn't even owe us anything. But because God is love,
- 19:48Speaker 1: he shares with others through us that he is real,
- 19:53Speaker 1: that he's alive, that he's the King of kings, the
- 19:56Speaker 1: Lord of lords, that he owns the cattle, he owns
- 20:00Speaker 1: all the money, he owns everything good and only good.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Gifts come from the Father of lights, right, the Father
- 20:07Speaker 1: of lights. So God is good. He's gracious in all
- 20:10Speaker 1: his ways. Brother, Ray, good morning, God bless you. Good morning,
- 20:13Speaker 1: my bro. It's good to see you on the morning.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Devo so selfless and others. Focus is the purpose of
- 20:20Speaker 1: the spiritual gifts that God gives us? It's for somebody else. Amen. Okay,
- 20:26Speaker 1: I might have X, y Z gifts. What are they for?
- 20:30Speaker 1: Just for me? Just for me to look in the
- 20:32Speaker 1: mirror say I got these gifts, I'm this and I'm that. No,
- 20:34Speaker 1: it's for others. Amen, go ahead and share the gift
- 20:37Speaker 1: that God has given you. To see what happens to
- 20:39Speaker 1: the other person's life. Right, see what happens to your life.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Because what God gives us is eternal and it has
- 20:47Speaker 1: eternal impact. I hope you're getting this. How about this?
- 20:53Speaker 1: Sometimes the gift of God that God gives us is
- 20:56Speaker 1: overlooked by the world because they look at it and
- 20:59Speaker 1: they say, well, the gift is that. How much money
- 21:02Speaker 1: is it going to is this person going to get
- 21:06Speaker 1: by having the gift of encouragement? Amen? The world seeds
- 21:10Speaker 1: is totally different. They try to buy the gifts of God.
- 21:13Speaker 1: They see a minister, they try to bribe the minister.
- 21:16Speaker 1: They try to give the minister money so that way, somehow,
- 21:19Speaker 1: some way they could benefit off the minister's gifts. So
- 21:24Speaker 1: these spiritual gifts are often overlooked, right, and definitely not
- 21:29Speaker 1: praised by the world. The world could care less about
- 21:32Speaker 1: spiritual gifts because they don't want the kingdom principle. They
- 21:36Speaker 1: don't want to be ruled by a kingdom system. They
- 21:40Speaker 1: want to rule and reign themselves, and they want to
- 21:42Speaker 1: be over people. Amen. The world system and God's system
- 21:47Speaker 1: is totally different. I hope you realize that this world
- 21:50Speaker 1: system that we're currently living in. The Bible says that believers,
- 21:54Speaker 1: children of God, we are in this world. We're not
- 21:57Speaker 1: of this world. This world system is being run by
- 22:00Speaker 1: the God of this world. The God of this world
- 22:03Speaker 1: is not Jesus, the Christ aim in. The God of
- 22:05Speaker 1: this world's system is the devil. Amen. You can see
- 22:10Speaker 1: that in scripture. If you don't believe me, you're a
- 22:12Speaker 1: head and Google that strengthened through humility. Our gifts are
- 22:17Speaker 1: strengthened through humility, obedience, and prayer. And I want to
- 22:21Speaker 1: add also sacrifice. Amen. When we are running with the
- 22:27Speaker 1: gifts of God, when we are flowing in the gift
- 22:30Speaker 1: of God, you're going to see people impacted, including yourself.
- 22:34Speaker 1: But when your others focused, you become self less, not selfish. Amen.
- 22:40Speaker 1: And you start giving, you give of yourself, You give
- 22:43Speaker 1: of your time, treasure, talent gifts. You give it out
- 22:47Speaker 1: for the kingdom purposes of God. Worldly gifts from the
- 22:51Speaker 1: world temporary. They're selfish, Amen. They need approval from other people,
- 22:59Speaker 1: and they find it their purpose through other people. Worldly
- 23:05Speaker 1: gifts from the world or human effort. If you go
- 23:07Speaker 1: to First John, chapter number two, First John, Chapter number two,
- 23:11Speaker 1: verses fifteen to seventeen, you'll see what the worldly gifts offer. Amen.
- 23:17Speaker 1: The purpose behind the gifts that the world is trying
- 23:20Speaker 1: to influence us to have or to get a man.
- 23:23Speaker 1: You see it on the ads all the time late
- 23:25Speaker 1: at night. If you have this, you become like this,
- 23:29Speaker 1: or you will get this benefit, or you will if
- 23:32Speaker 1: you take this pill, you'll be have superhuman strength, or this,
- 23:37Speaker 1: that and the third. Although some of these products may
- 23:41Speaker 1: help you in certain areas of our lives, but notice
- 23:44Speaker 1: those that help is temporal. They need they're telling you
- 23:49Speaker 1: something that's going to help you for the moment. God
- 23:52Speaker 1: is telling you something that will help you for eternity. Amen. Wealth, fame, beauty, influence, charisma,
- 24:02Speaker 1: all of that that the world offers looks pretty to
- 24:05Speaker 1: most people. It looks appealing. It's attracting a lot of
- 24:08Speaker 1: people daily, but those are only temporal gifts. Material possessions, cars, houses, clothes, temporary.
- 24:17Speaker 1: So the gifts of the world are temporary and they're
- 24:21Speaker 1: fleeing fleeting. They can be used for good, also for evil.
- 24:26Speaker 1: God's gifts should not be used for evil because God's
- 24:30Speaker 1: gifts doesn't come from an evil source. It comes from
- 24:33Speaker 1: God himself, which is good all the time. So there's
- 24:36Speaker 1: a couple of more things here. I'll probably have to
- 24:39Speaker 1: finish this up again another time, but Eternal Impact Romans
- 24:43Speaker 1: chapter six. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Thank you
- 24:46Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I bless you all in the name of Jesus. Thank
- 24:51Speaker 1: you so much for coming through God. Bless you all.
- 24:54Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
