  Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God, bless you. Welcome back
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. It's your brother Sam Lopez aka
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: DJ Sam Rock. So Win is with a z dot
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: org live that so Win is with a z dot org.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: If this is your first time, If this is your
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: first time on the Morning Devo, I want to personally
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: thank you for coming through. Amen. You're gonna be blessed.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I know God has a word for you today, Amen.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And we just asked questions. Hey, we ask questions. We
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: have a good time in the Word. We devote some
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: time to the reading of the Word first thing in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the morning, at least for me on the East Coast clock,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that is really early right now, it's five point thirty
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Wherever your time clock is, wherever your
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: time zone is, it might be a little different. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we try to do these first thing in the morning
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to set up our day, Amen, because I believe when
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we set up our day put God first. Amen, things
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: run a little smoothly. Amen. I say a little because
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: life gets thrown at us regardless if you're a believer
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: or not. But what happens is when you have Holy
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Spirit God living inside of you, when you have a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: born again experience with the Lord. Amen, you realize you
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: start realizing that the storms of life and the issues
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of life and all that that comes outway is not
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: as bad as it used to be when you didn't
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: have God in your life. That's all I'm saying. Amen.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So the question is how is God your provider? You
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: probably heard the saying the phrase Jehovah Jirah my provider. Amen,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Jehovah Jirah. Amen. We might be saying the pronunciation might
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be wrong, Amen, just because of the Jay and all
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that stuff. I understand that might be trivial to some people.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: To other people they take that really serious, but we
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: do here. Jehovah Jirah is my provider. But my question
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is how is he your provider? How is God your provider?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: If I asked you the question, hey, does God provide
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: for you and you'll say yes he does, I'm gonna
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: say how I'm gonna ask you how is God your provider? Amen?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Today in the morning, Devo, if you have any questions, comments,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: concerns on any prayer requests, please don't hesitate to leave
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it on a live chat. Amen. Let me get to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: my notes and let me share this out to the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: group real quick before they think I'm not live, because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes I go ghosts on these morning DeVos for whatever reason.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't hear my long clock. Sometimes i'm feeling well.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm not in the studio or I'm traveling. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm here today, so I'm gonna let everybody know. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the group that I'm here, and the group I'm talking
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about is the Blaze Bible Study Group. Amen. On. It's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a private group. So if you want to be a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: part of that, it's over seven hundred people over there, Amen,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that hang out there. You could be a part of that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Just let me know and I'll send you an invite.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It's called the Blaze Bible Studies. That's the group on
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: over there. Amen. Let me share some more amen, while
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm here out Amen, So let's go for it, mate.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Financial freedom, according to the Bible, isn't just about wealth, Amen.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people will like wealth, but we
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have to realize that we do have wealth already when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we're in Christ. But I know what you're thinking. Money.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I want mulah Neto. I need money. We all need money,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but we could use money for different various reasons. Right,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Some people use money and they promote it as something
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that's more important than God. Other people use money to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: expand the kingdom message of God. Other people wish they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: had the money to do X y Z. But it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: really if you look at the biblical principles of how
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: God is your provider. Is more than wealth, than just wealth, Amen,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's actually the bottom line of things. It's a result
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: when you're following Christ. Money and wealth is a result
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of following the one who could provide for every single
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: one it needs. We'd be in Psalms chapter twenty four,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Verse number one will start there, Amen. And then I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: got a little bit more sauce to share on today's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: morning devo. But if you turn your Bible to Psalm
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: twenty four, verse number one will be there too. Since
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the show God bless you good morning, Please send me
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the oupha I sent you. I think you're already a member,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but I'll send you an invite just in case, Amen,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'll look at it. It's called the Blaze Bible Studies, Amen.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Private group. I privatized it because it was a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of people there and people were sharing personal information, so
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I privatized it. But it's it's a community of people believers, unbelievers,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: people that are seeking God Amen, or seeking truth. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: everything that we do here is on there as well.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But like I said, it's a private group, so people
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: are more comfortable to share over there. Amen. So let's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: go for it. Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: share this out for like sixty seconds, and then on
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the other side of those sixty seconds and we'll come
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: back and we'll get into Psalms chapter number twenty four,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: verse number one. We'll start there. Father, I thank you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for this opportunity, for this day, for this moment right now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to share your word and to know that you are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: our provider, and we want to know how does that work.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Your word tells you or tells us how that works.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I thank you, Lo God for your word. Thank you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for revealing yourself by way of Jesus to Christ our messire.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for providing every single one of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: our needs, whether it's in finances, health, strength, protection, whatever
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the need is. LogD. I know that you could be
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: counted on to provide the need and to be our provider.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I pray Lo God, that this morning devotion will change
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: lives radically, including myself. The way we think the way
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we approach things in life, that it will change us
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and we will be forever changed, moving forward towards a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: destiny that you have purposed us and planned us to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: see and to reach to get to that finished line.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And thank you, Low God for the strength. I pray
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I head you protection right now over myself, my wife,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: our children, our grandchildren, our family members, our relatives, our friends,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: every single person that's connected now who will connect later
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on the other side of his screen or on the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: other side of this mic. I pray look out the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: power of your Holy Spirit to just resonate and just
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to be just the bright light that shines within us,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and to move us forward into victory and lead us
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: into all truth, like your word says. I also dispatch
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: arch ween angels by the authority of the Lord Jesus,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that these ark ween angels will annihilate the tactics of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the enemy, the plans of the enemy over our lives,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and that we will move in victory and we would
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: take steps of faith that we would normally not take.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We would start doing that radically, starting to date. In
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name, I pray it's by faith and everyone who
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: agrees we say amen to the Amen. Let's go for it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Help me share this out sixty seconds. When we come back,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: we'll put this Psalm twenty four, verse number one in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: action in the word as we read it. I'll be
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: writ back all right, I shared like crazy. Hopefully you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: shared with us. Amen, and get this algorithm moving in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a favorable direction. Man, I just want to get off
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: social media, believe it or not, and take everything to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the website and get everybody on the email list so
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we could have our own community outside of the matrix.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: YouTube is cool and everything, but this meta they mean
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's something else. And then as they restrict and they
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: know how to crush your reach when you're not advertising,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: when you're not spending that money. Amen, It's plain and simple.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They know what they're doing, Amen, But we also know
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what we're doing over here on the morning Devo. So hey, man,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it looks a little strange on my screen over here,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but we'll keep moving. Let me get the scriptures to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that way, we could put this on the screen for
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: those who are just listening, celebrate the first time. You
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: might be saying, what screen is he talking about? I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just listening. We have a lot of stream going on
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: as well, and I put graphics on the screen. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm going to read this word for words,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: so that way you won't miss anything, or any part,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: or any important part at least, which is the Word
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of God is the most important part of these one
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of the DeVos. You won't miss anything, amen. I make
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sure that I read everything. Try to be as clear
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: as possible. Try to talk slower. I know I talk fast, amen,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: but I'm trying to change that as well as we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: move forward. So let me put this on screen boom.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: How is God your provider? When somebody asks you, you know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you say your God provides, and the question is underlining
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is how is God your provider? I think this is
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a good question. I think we should talk about it, amen.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And I don't know why the curses shows up on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the screen when I just told it not to show up. Glitches.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I always find glitches in these softwares, man, So how
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: is God your provider? Let's go forward? Word of God
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: says in Psalms twenty four, verse number one, the earth
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is the lords, and the fullness of it, the world
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and those who dwell in it is the lords. So
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: once we really first and foremost, that God himself owns
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it all. Will start realizing that when we ask this
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: God who owns everything, for anything, we ask him for anything,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: he has access to everything. So if we're in Christ
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and we're speaking to God or asking God or praying
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to God and the will of God over our lives,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: everything that he has for us, he'll release it in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: his time, not in our time. Cause sometimes imagine God,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I need a million dollars and he'll just give it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to you. I think then we'll turn him into some
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: kind of a genie in a bottle that grants our wishes.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And God is not a genie in a bottle. God
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is holy, he's sovereign, he's eternal, a man, he's almighty,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: all knowing, omni present. He's a loving God, a holy God,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a righteous God, or just God. He is not a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: genie in a bottle. That's the way you think God is.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You need to repent from the right now, Amen, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: thank God for his grace that he doesn't handle us
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: when we come up with those type of ideas. First
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Corinthians ten twenty six. You could cross reference First Corinthians,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Chapter ten, verse twenty six, and Songs twenty four and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: one together. Let me check that. Yeah, Corinthians, that's right,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That is absolutely right. Amen. That goes to curse again.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: How is God your provider? So we read that scripture.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to my notes and give you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: some other places what I found in the scriptures. Because
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: God is always he reveals his word, right, he'll show
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: us something and he'll continue to connect his word through
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the scripture Avent. It's like a theme. It's like a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: line of truth that goes across our when we're seeking it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It goes across our lives. We apply, we apply the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: things that God applies in us. We apply that in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: real time. So first of all, we acknowledge that God
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: is the owner of everything, the owner of everything. There's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: no limits, limitations, no limit to God. There's absolutely no
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: limits to God. Amen. You know who limits God? We
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: do sometimes by the way we think, by the way
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: we move, by actions. But God really really has no limits.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And when I say we sorry, if that's not you,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: let me just say me, sometimes I limit him because
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: of my limited way of thinking. Amen. And I struggle
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: with that if I'm honest, because I'm like, how could
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that be? God? And I forget me I forget that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: God owns everything, He's in control of everything. Ultimately he
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: gets the final word. Amen. So when I ask God something,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I have to have more confidence knowing that I'm going
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to a God, the only, true, loving, holy, righteous God
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that can do anything, Amen, if it's according to His
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: will over my life. That's why I know for sure,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: God being my provider is not really all about wealth.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's about these things that I found. So biblical financial
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: freedom isn't just about wealth, Amen, It's about stewarding money, finances, possessions,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: God's way. When we steward our things that we are
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: blessed with the way God wants us to steward it,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: then you're going to see something different happening in your
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: life and in my life. So freeing a sup from
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: debt and the worry of debt has a lot to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: do with who we have faith and trusting. Amen. If
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you have a good job, praise God. But a good
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: job and the wealth principles of God not the same
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: God gives us the health to gain wealth of Bible
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: says a good job will limit your growth. Amen. You
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: only get you get capped out of whatever they have,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the cap of their budgeting and man, and it comes
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and goes. But God's wealth building principles are eternal forever.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: But for this side of eternity, we need to be using.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I believe it's important for us to use what we
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: know now, Amen. And this is like practice round before
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: we get into all eternity. So I don't think we're
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: gonna need a lot of things we need here. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: don't think we need it in heaven for all eternity.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So the good thing about it is that God is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: patient with us, but he wants us to respond to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: his word. He wants us to activate the things that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we know are true and apply that in our lives
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in real time, and not wait till like whatever time
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: calendar that we're putting on. God. No, we're gonna activate
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the word today right now, Amen, and build what he
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: wants us to build, and destroy what he wants us destroy,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and bring up what he wants us to bring up,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and tear down when he wants us to tear down.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: That's a now word right, that's today. But God blessed
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to my brother Eric on the building. In the building,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: good morning, God bless you as well. It's good to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: see you on the morning. Devo Amen. So here's some
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: things that are found. Number one, acknowledge God as your provider.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Next time somebody says, oh you guys, you Christians, you say, guys,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: your provider. They have a legitimate follow up question, how
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: does God provide for you? And we should have an answer.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Everything we have belongs to God. We already read that
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in Psalms twenty four, verse number one. So financial freedom
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: actually starts. We're recognizing that we are stewards. Like God gives,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: He owns everything, and he gives us things. Amen, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: we now are responsible for the things that God gives us.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Let's start there. We're not owners. Actually, we actually don't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: own anything God. This is a loan system. Every breath
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that I take is a loan from God. Everything that
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I have is a loan from God. Amen. Possessions of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: this world. Have you noticed that if you have a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: brand new car, you drive it out the lot and like,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: within six months, that brand new car is depreciated already
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it's not new anymore. A man is losing value every
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: time you drive it. That's not how God works. When
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: God gives you something, that whatever something, you use it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for the glory of God. And you see how it
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: sustains and maintains, and God will bless whatever he's. Whatever
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: God touches, he will bless whatever God gives you and me,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: he will bless. I'm noticing that the equipment I have
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in the studio is really functioning really good. I believe
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it's because God blessed me with the equipment in the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: studio and it's getting old. Right now, I'm streaming off
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of iMac that I believe we purchase in twenty eighteen,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and it's moving strong. A lot of people might be saying, well,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you don't use it too much. I use it a lot. Amen.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And some other equipment I'm looking at right now is
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the working lights in the studio that I have been
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: working for a long time as well. So I'm grateful
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for all of that. And God will touch things physical
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: things as well. Amen, and bless it and really add
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: life to it. Amen, A freelancer Most sheer Roman. Welcome,

  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning Devo. I'm doing okay, and we're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: trying to do this morning Devo and you're welcome to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: ask questions on it. So trusting in God's provision removes
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: financial anxiety. When I know that God is my provider
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the anxious way of thinking about how I'm going to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: do this, how I'm going to pay that it really
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: simmers down, Actually it goes away. It's called peace. Now.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm really not going to promote saying do nothing
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: while you're waiting on God to bless you. Do something
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: while you're waiting for God to bless you. Amen. Me,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I'm antsy. Somebody called me out that day said, man,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I can't believe Sam. I went to a play the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: other day. Right, It wasn't even in the plan, but
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: my daughter's friend invited her. I was with my daughter,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: so I said, let's go. We went, met up with
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: some other friends. Amen. It was a good play. But
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: after the play was over, a friend of mine was
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: like saying, we can't believe you sat down for like
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: two hours. You could have been doing so much, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: many other things, and we know you're busy, you know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And I was like, h that's cool. I had peace
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: knowing that I did something with my daughter and had
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a moment to share that time with my daughter for
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: those two hours. Because yes, I'm always on the run,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but I always have to remind myself that I can't
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just be doing things without receiving or being a blessing
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to someone else. Sometimes being with your family is a blessing.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Just sitting down, talking, going to a play, going to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a movie. Amen, It slows things down. It's called the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: peace of life, the peace of God that gives you. Amen.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And I don't have to worry but nothing. I started
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: thinking about things that I could have been doing that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: cause I have bills to pay, right, But I was like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm here. Let me present at the moment, Amen,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and not be anxious or worry about those things that
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I could take care of and that God is already
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: putting into motion anyway. But I have to do something.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: You have to do something on your part. I have
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to do something on my part, and God does the rest. Amen.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Put it like this, whatever you can do financially, God
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: could do whatever you can't do. Physically, God could do
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: whatever you can't do spiritually. God could do. So basically,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: whatever I can do, God can, and He wants us
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to know that. Amen. So if you look at Matthew
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: six thirty one and thirty three, I believe that's the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: kingdom verse right. Put God first, Put the Kingdom of
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: God first, and his righteousness and everything else would be
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: added on to you. Now, don't quote me. I think
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that's what is I'm citing a scripture. I can't go
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: there right now because I don't have it pulled up.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: But knowing that God is with you, in you, working
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: through you, and is supporting Amen. He's your provider, the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: one who knows everything that we need. So we shouldn't
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: walk around thinking we're in lack. We should be walking
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: around knowing that this lack that we're in will be
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: replaced with the abundant life that Jesus promised. But here's
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the cap to it. Amen, you got to be born again.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You have to be a believer. None of these benefits
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: will apply to any single person who's rejecting the Gospel message.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: None of these benefits will apply for any person that's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: looking for wealth in a different way. Amen. Now we're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: all under the grace of God. I truly believe that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: even people who don't believe. Atheists are under the grace
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of God. Agnostics are under the grace of God. Skeptics
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: are under the grace of God. Devil worshippers are under
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the grace of God. The devil himself is under the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: grace of God. It sounds crazy, right, but think about it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: God could annihilate it all those who are against them,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but he's not that type of God. He allows them
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to breathe and live right and have their own way
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and have their own will and follow their own methods
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and their own religions and all that stuff. That's the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: grace of God. Right. So that's number one. Acknowledge God
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: as your provider. Second thing I found is hard work.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Hard work honors God. So I guess that's the flow
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm in because I've been working hard ever since I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: started working when I was a teenager. I don't know
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: nothing else but hard work. Amen. People might say, well,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you'll work a haul it. I probably used to be,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but now I work for purpose, on purpose. It's not
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: like I'm like running around doing everything for everybody else
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and not, you know, taking heed to what God wants.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Actually put God's work first. And a lot of people
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: don't like that. I'll tell you. They'd be like, what
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: are you doing? I want you to go get a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: real job, as if working for the Kingdom of God
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is not realer than real. Actually, I think the benefits
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of working for the Lord outweigh or our produce, or
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'll do any other benefits of any kind of worldly
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: system or worldly job. A man, my humble opinion. Eric
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: says he can use our children and marriages, and we
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: are to bless our future with positive actions and lessons
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: that would be fruitful before beware how you handle these responsibilities. Yes,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: be very mindful. Thank you, We're very mindful of how
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you handle the responsibilities. Amen. He loans us our children
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and marriages. Yeah, it's all alone, man, like nothing. People
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: make me loud to say I own this and I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: own that, and I look at them and said, man,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: if God didn't give you that, you will own nothing.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But I understand what people are saying. It's an achievement.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Like when you work hard for something and you get
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: what you're working hard for. It makes you feel good.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you have any peace about it,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: but it makes you feel good going into debt getting
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: what you think is the most shiniest thing. Or you're
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: trying to compete with the Joneses their neighbors across the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: street or whatever. That's different, and God will help you
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in that area too. But me, when it comes to
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: money finances and comparing, I've never been into that stuff. Amen.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that are into that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and they struggle with that. But I've never been that guy,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. That's not one of my struggles, you know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: trying to match up with other people, amen, And trying
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to act like I got things that I don't have,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and going into debt just to make me feel good,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and when people don't really care about what I have. Anyway,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: That's never been me. But I know a lot of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: people struggle in that way. A man. I'm mindful of that,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: respectful of that. So I'm not making fun of people
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: when I say this. I'm just saying that's not me.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: That's not my struggle. A man. I could tell you
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of my struggles, but that is not
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: one of them. So work hard, work wisely, because hard
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: work honors God. We see that in proverb Verbs fourteen
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Right. Using wisdom and financial decisions leads to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: stability Proverbs twenty one to five. If you take one
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: proverb every day and read the proverbs, you'll get this
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: wisdom man, the wisdom of God and Proverbs, the wisdom
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: of God, and Ecclesiastes and the wisdom of God in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the Book of Jens, which to me is like the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: New Testament of Proverbs. You read it, man, and apply
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the knowledge and wisdom of the Word. Amen. Amen, Thank
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you freelancer monsieur. You like my YouTube channel, Thank you. Amen.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So listen, all work honors God. Everything we have belongs
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to God, Psalm twenty four and one. So knowing this,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: now we have wisdom. Now we have knowledge of who
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: owns everything. Anyway, now we could live in peace, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: we could live within our means. A friend of mine
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: always says that he's rich because he lives within his means.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: He does have money, but he lives within his means,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: meaning that he doesn't want to try to impress and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: use his finances to do X y Z, to get
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the newest car, to get the newest house, to get
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the newest closed, to look like this and that, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: get all the trendy closed, the trendy glasses and all
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that stuff. He's not into that because he knows the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: principles of God, and he knows that biblical financial freedom
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to do. It doesn't start all
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: about wealth. It's about stewarding what God gives you. It's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: about being responsible, being grateful for whatever God gives us.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: A man, I treat whatever I have like go. Everything
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that I have, I know it belongs to the Lord,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and that he gave me the strength, the ideas, right,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the knowledge. I'm self taught and everything I do in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: this ministry self taught. Like promotion video live streams. Some
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: people might be like, it's not so good anyway, Sam,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I got to overhead mic. I don't like mics in
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: front of me on lives and then that's just me.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. So the quality might not be
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: as good as the people who have the mics in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: front of them, but that's my preference. I'm not trying
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to be like anything or anyone else. Amen. So I'm
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: self taught music production. I was actually taught by a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: friend that's hopefully with the Lord. Amen. He went to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: be with the Lord and he was self taught too.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: So I know a lot of people who haven't went
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to school, who don't have degrees and doing what we're
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: doing for the Kingdom of God because of the anointing
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: of God and how God placed us in positions like this.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I know how to put electronics together self taught. Amen.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: So when I'm talking about biblical financial freedom, when I'm
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: talking about God being my provider, I'm talking about he
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: gives me what I need to get his mission that
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he wants me a part of to get done. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying over you as well. True, truly,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: God's your provider because he'll give you what you need, Amen,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to get what he wants done through your life and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: through your ministry, through your work right through your writing,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: through your music, Amen, through your sports, through your family,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: through your marriage, through your children, all of it. God
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: gets the glory for it all. I'm out of time, though,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I hope you get what I'm saying. Amen. Psalms twenty four.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Read the whole chapter for yourself. God is our provider.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: And people will ask how Now we have some kind
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of an answer, right, we'll start there. So God bless
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you all. Thank you so much for hanging out with me.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: God keep you all and remember always that God is good.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Peace
