• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that I thank God for too as well. Amen, to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: come together with some brothers and sisters. They could get
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: lonely out there. Right, this world doesn't really apply what
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we're applying in our lives, which is the Holy Scriptures. Amen.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And the world needs God that just refuse to understand
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: or believe it sometimes, so it gets lonely out here sometimes. Amen.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And we need to surround ourselves with brothers and sisters
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that are filled with the Holy Spirit, so that way
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we can encourage one another, love up on them on another, Amen,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: help one another, support one another, and continue to move forward. Amen.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So we are good when we are together. Amen. It's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: not good for man to be alone. Right. Our father
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: said that. He says, not good for man to be alone.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Loneliness is really unless you're setting your time apart to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: be alone with God, Amen, like going to like a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: mountain place or your secret prayer room closet, or whatever
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the case may be. I think that's the only healthy
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: way of the alone time. Amen. But we need each other.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: We definitely need each other. Amen. I need you just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: as much as we need each other. Amen. Good morning,

  Speaker 1: sister and my friend. Amen. So let's see something here
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: just now. Let's get the word going. Amen. Let me
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: get this on the screen for that we could so
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that we could see the word. Amen, read the word,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and then most importantly, apply the word of God in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: our lives and over our lives. Amen. For those who
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are just listening, So winners on the podcast, thank you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so much for listening. I'm going to read everything word
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: for word and line for so that way you won't
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: miss out on anything that we're doing here. So together
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we're better, right. And we also devote this time to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the Lord. So stay focused, focus your heart and mind
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on what's happening right now. Be in the moment, be
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: present Amen. Like I said earlier, the day has enough
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of its own distractions. The day is the day. Haven't
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you noticed that time wasts for no one time. The
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: time doesn't stop for you, The time doesn't stop for me.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: The time keeps on going. So while the time is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: keeping on going, I think that's a lesson for us
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to learn. We need to keep on going. Amen. We
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: need to get we need we know the signs of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the times. God gives us the know how to understand
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the times. It gives us discernment to know how to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: navigate through life. And these times, in these days, you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: know that we are here on purpose. God didn't make
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh, twenty twenty five, let's have these people
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: here randomly. Know we are here on purpose. A man,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: as soon as you know your purpose in Christ, you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: going to live a life to the fullest. Manmoio says,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: so that the Word became flesh and dwells among us. Yes,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the Word became flesh. And who is the Word the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Amen, the Word of God, the living Word
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of God, the God who lives. A man came in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the form of a man to teach us as a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: perfect example of who God is. Through the Lord Jesus,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: God gives us insight and revelation from the Holy Spirit. Yes,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he does all the time. Amen. Is never one day
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that God is not be God. He's always God. He's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: always given us the revelation. He's always in our hearts
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and our minds because he's faithful to his own word,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and he's faithful to his own promises. Amen. And we
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: are benefiting off of the finished work of God. Focus
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: your heart and mind Lamentations, chapter number three, Verses twenty
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: two and twenty three. And this is what the word says.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It is because of the Lord loving kindness. I love
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that word, loving kindness. It's plural loving kindness. Is that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: we are not consumed. Amen, that we're not consumed because
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: his tender compassion compassions never fail, another plural word. You'd
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: also see this cross reference this scripture to Malachi chapter three,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: verse number six. They are new every morning. What's new
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: every morning. What's new every morning, ladies and gentlemen's tender
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: compassions is loving kindness. They are new every morning. Great
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and beyond measure is your faithfulness. Also see this in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter thirty three and verse number two as a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: cross reference. So that's how big God is. Every single
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: day he expresses his loving kindnesses to that way, we're
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: not consumed. It's because of the Lord. So because of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: his tender compassions, which, by the way, the word says,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: never failed. He's always present, he's always good, he's always
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on our side, he's working through us. He gives us peace.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: The world tries to offer us this pseudo peace, but
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the Lord offers us a peace not of this world,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: but the peace of God. We have peace with God
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: because we have the peace of God through the Lord Jesus,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: who's the Prince of Peace. I went and trade this
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: peace that God gives me and God gives you for
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: any amount of money in this world. And I know
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: people hear this, and hear Christians saying that, and they say, nah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you'll go for the money. Unfortunately, some go for the money. Amen.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But over here you know the goodness of the Lord.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They are new every morning. Great and br measure is
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: your faithfulness. It's no one more faithful than the Lord. Amen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: You could you could argue all you want about who's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: more faithful God or any anything else. And not to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: me a man, My ass will always be the Lord.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: He shows up when you need him. He shows up
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: in your time of need, and he just saysn't just
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: stay there and do nothing. He supplies all our needs,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: loving kindnesses, compassion. It's true to his promise. He gives
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: us peace, authority to trample over demons, to lay hands
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: on the sick, and they shall recover, cast out demons
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. Amen, what else do you want?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could use a financial breakthrough. You could
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: use a financial breakthrough, but we're already rich. Amen, We're
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: rich and grace and in mercy. I know a lot
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of people don't like that. They were like, well I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: need some money. Well you have the health to gain wealth,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and God gave you and me some million dollar ideas.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We just have to trust him take that step forward
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and then if it's helping someone else to come into
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God. I believe one hundred percent that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: God will bless our efforts. But if it's for self gain,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. God loves us too much to put
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: us out there and say, Okay, I'll give you all
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this money, and then I know you're gonna fail, and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I know You're going to be consumed by that money.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: God is not the God to get us consumed and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to set us up. He's a guy who wants to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: elevate us and reveal himself through us. Amen. Morning by morning,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: new mercies. I see, yes, you see it every day,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Sis the joice right, we see it every day. Amen.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The thing about the goodness of Guy is that he
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be as good as he is to us,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: but he is. He's good He's a God who loves,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He is love. He's a God that never is overpowered
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: or never puts us to shame. The Bible says, never
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: leaves us or abandons us. We're not our friend children. Amen.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: We have a heavenly Father, a man who sent the Son,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and the Son sent Holy Spirit God, and Jesus ascended
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to the right hand of the throne of God, the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: right hand of the Father, and he promised that he
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: will return. What are we waiting for, waiting for the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: return of the king. But in the meantime, in the meantime,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be farmersts, sowing seeds of eternal life. We're
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: gonna focus our heart and mind on the author and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: perfect of our faith. We're gonna go ahead and help
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: each other, help others. We're gonna preach the gospel. We
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: gotta lay hands on the sick. We gotta cast out demons,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we gotta baptize people in the name of the Father
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen. We're gonna
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: do what the Church does and what we're called out
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to do, and what we're empowered to do by way
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. We're gonna move accordingly the world and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the day and the system of this world has its
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: own thing going on, right, But when the Kingdom of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Light and the Kingdom of God shows up, there should
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: be a difference. There should be power, a display of power.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: There should be a display of love. We should be
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: demonstrating the true love of God from one another. So
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: when the world sees the love we have for one another,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they know that we are on the path of righteousness.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They know that we're serving the only, true, holy, loving,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: living God, the God of all love, grace and mercy,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the God who saves, the God who redeems, the God
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: who restores, the God who renews, the God who gives
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: us loving kindnesses and compassion. And he holds tight to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: us a man, I'm not gonna let go to the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Lord's hand. As a matter of fact, no one or
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: nothing could pluck me out of the hand of God.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: No one or nothing could pluck you out of the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: hand of God. We are secure, we are close, We
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: are clean. Amen. We are children of the Holy God,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and we are a royal priesthood. We're not paupers, you know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we're not beggars. We are the royal priesthood. We are
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: who God calls us to be and man, those days
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of me saying I'm just the sooner saved by grace,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that no more because Jesus Christ died
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for me, died for you, so that way we could
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: overcome sin. Do we sin, yes, But that's not really
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: us sinning. Remember what Paul said, It's like something else
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: is living inside of me. It's called the flesh. Holy
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Spirit lives inside of us. The Holy Spirit never sins,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know that right, So when the flesh sins, we
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: could say no to the flesh, and we could allow
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to continue the cleansing, to continue the saving,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to continue to focus on the heart and mind that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: we have. We have the heart of God now and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: then of Christ. We don't have the old covenant heart anymore,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the heart that's wicked, full of deception and even and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Next time you hear that, can you
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: please ask the person who's saying that over you say,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: is that before I was saved? That after I was saved?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And if the honest they have to say, before you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: were saved you had a wicked heart. Okay, I agree
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent of that with that. But after I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: was born again, when Jesus saved me. When Jesus saved you,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he changed your heart and he changed your mind,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and he's transforming your life. He's redeeming, restoring everything that
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: God offers. I'm gonna go ahead and take without shame. Amen,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: got goe ahead and take. It's a gift. And I'm
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not gonna go to God and say, you know what,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want your gift. I gotta say that. That's insulting,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that's not cool, and that's not right. Amen. I'm so
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: grateful for the gift of life that God gives me
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: every single day. And I know you are too. Amen.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So when we look around, we see chaos in this world,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and then we are grateful because we have the peace right.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I might not have all the money, I might not
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: have all the right ideas. I might not get it
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: right all the time, but I do know who gets
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: it right all the time. And I do know where
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: my financial breakthrough is. And I do know where my
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: help comes from. My house helps help comes from. I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: do know who heals my sickness and diseases. I do
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: know who I could pray to that's one hundred percent
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: loving and compassionate and one hundred percent true and graceful
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and merciful and all powerful and all knowing and omni present.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I can't go anywhere on this earth, and neither can
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you without God being present. He's everywhere, all the time, everywhere.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I like to say, he's everywhere here. Hey, man, he's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Jehovah Shaman, the guy who is there in your situation,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the guy who is there in my situation, A man
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: everywhere here. That's the guy we serve, Amen, Lamentation, Chapter three.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Read the whole chapter three yourself, twenty two and twenty three.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: It helps us start off our day knowing that when
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: we devote our focus and our heart and mind in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: God's truth and grace, we are on the right path,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the righteous path, the great path. You know, there's two
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: paths in life, right, the narrow path a man that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: leads to life and freedom, and the broadway, the big
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: path that a lot of people get on because it's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the easier path. A man. Everybody else is doing it,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and do it. And it's like, unfortunately,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: it's like sheep being led to the slaughter man. So
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: we need to pray. I know I was praying to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this kingdom I knew I was because I was out there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I was on that Broadway of destruction. I was really
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: running through there, and I was all happy about it,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and I was ignorant to the life giving power of
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. But someone was praying a man. There's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: no all the explanation the things I got out of
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't be sitting here right now, but I'm gonna
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: testify because I'm here. So as long as I'm here,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I might as well give God the glory the power
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of the prayers of the righteous of veileth much right.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: When we pray to God, he hears our prayer. We
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: might not understand why things happen tragedy, death, sickness, cancer,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and why babies die, and why this and that happened.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: We will not understand that, and I don't think we
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: will ever understand that, but we know that when God
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: shows up, Amen, in those situations, something greater happens. You
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: might not see it right away. You go through pain,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you go through mourning, you go through suffering. I'm talking
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to me too, Amen. None of us are exempt. But
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: we know God, and God gives us this peace, He
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: gives us the comfort, He gives us the word for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the day. Every day his mercies are new. We could
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: trust him every day his glory. Amen. We are carriers
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: of his glory. We have a word in a mouth, Amen,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that we could speak out and overcome temptation, overcome sin.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: We're no longer bound to sin. We are free in Christ.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: On my weekend shows, when I'm DJing live on the radio,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: when I'm in the studio, I always tell the people
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: who are listening, and a lot of people be listening
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: on the weekends. I say, listen, if you're home, or
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: if you're listening right now and you're sober, and it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the weekend, it's like one in the morning. You are free.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You're no longer bound to alcohol and drugs and all that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: So give God, Praise, give God glory. Amen, you are free.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Who the Son says free is what you've got it free. Indeed,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: every day we could go to God for his loving kindnesses, compassions, Amen,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the peace that he gives us. He's full of grace,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he's full of truth. So when we devote this time,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: we devote some time to the Lord. Amen, I will
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: say I would suggest first thing, whether you wake up
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: or the last thing you do to devote time with
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the Lord before you go to sleep, and it seems
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like things just turn around. You could be having the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: worst day, you could be getting the worst news from
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the doctor. But when you go to the Lord. Amen, somehow,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: some way, I can't explain it, he just is. He
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: gives you that peace and knowing that you could get
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: through whatever you need to get through. Amen. Whatever life
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: throws at us, sometimes we could pick that up and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: throw it right back because we know at the end
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: of the day, only thing that's gonna happen is this
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: bag of bones and blood will go to the ground.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: But our soul is saved. So we go with the Father.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: We don't Christians really don't die. We just exchange destinies,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: like we change our position, Amen, from this side of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: eternity to the next. But in the meantime, let's go
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: win souls for the glory of God. Let's go preach
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the gospel. Amen. Let's go to the highways and byways.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Even if you want to do like online thing like
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I'm doing. Amen, Let's go to God in prayer. He'll
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: fill us up with Holy Spirit. We'll already have his
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. He'll empower us to speak the word of
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: God through Amen, and the word of God will reach
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the hearts that God intends to reach. No one know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you could reject the gospel, right, But no one has
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: any excuses of not hearing the gospel when they come
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: on this line, at least when they go to your house,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: when they hear your voice, when they see how you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: respond to situations. They can't deny the power of God.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: They can't deny the goodness of God. They can't deny
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the compassion of God, the loving kindnesses of God, the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: grace of God, the truth of God. When they see
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: it demonstrated by God's children, it's a no brainer. Right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They see us, they should see the resemblance of the Lord.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They see you, they see the face on the resemblance
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and the glory of God. The men to be encouraged,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: step up, stand out right, we're set apart, we're called out.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: We're never going to fit into this world's system. Amen,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So we should be okay with that. You know, we
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: don't have to do everything that everybody else is doing.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: But we could pray. No one could stop our prayers. Right.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. Your worst enemy, you could pray for that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: on personals, people or whatever. And they can't stop our prayers,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: can't stop our prayers. Man Well says, the words of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: our mouth be the meditation of our mouth. Oh that's good.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I like that. I'm gonna take that. Thank you so
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: much for your comments. So I'm out of time. Ladies
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, thank you so much. Focus your heart and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: mind daily on the Lord and his word Lamitations, chapter three.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: A man, that's a good way to start off your day.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Could use that as a prayer as well, or as
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: a way to thank God for his loving kindnesses and compassions. Amen.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: He's there for us, He's there for you, he's there
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: for me. Amen, he's there for our family. So God
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: bless you all. God keep you all, and remember always
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that God is good. Peace.
