- 0:23Speaker 1: let me personally welcome you to the Morning Devotion. What
- 0:27Speaker 1: we try to do is Mondays through Fridays, get on
- 0:30Speaker 1: here first thing in the morning, Amen, to devote some
- 0:33Speaker 1: time in the Lord's name, in the Lord's Word, and
- 0:36Speaker 1: then try to apply the Word of God in our lives. Amen.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And we are here just continuing to just have faith
- 0:44Speaker 1: and believing that God's gonna move in an incredible way,
- 0:49Speaker 1: that we have a supernatural God that we serve right, Amen.
- 0:52Speaker 1: And whatever we can't do in the natural, God will
- 0:54Speaker 1: do both in the natural and in the supernatural. He
- 0:57Speaker 1: will empower us to do exactly what His word says
- 1:00Speaker 1: as we are able to do. And today I just
- 1:02Speaker 1: want to talk about helping each other. Helping each other Christians.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Christ's follow us are called to support one another through
- 1:12Speaker 1: hardships when we're going through hard times as part of
- 1:16Speaker 1: living out our faith in love, compassion, and community. If
- 1:22Speaker 1: we don't have the love, if we don't have the compassion,
- 1:24Speaker 1: if we don't have the community, then we have something missing. Amen.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Because God wants us to help each other, and not
- 1:30Speaker 1: only each other. Amen. And I'm talking to the inside
- 1:34Speaker 1: of the church, the body of Christ, but also to others.
- 1:38Speaker 1: So we need to help one another in Christ, help
- 1:40Speaker 1: each other in Christ, and help others as Christ would
- 1:44Speaker 1: have help others through us. Amen. So help each other
- 1:48Speaker 1: today in the morning Devo, We're going to be in Romans,
- 1:50Speaker 1: chapter number twelve, Verse number fifteen. Romans twelve and fifteen.
- 1:55Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, or
- 1:59Speaker 1: anything alone those lines, Please don't hesitate to leave another
- 2:02Speaker 1: life chat. That's what we're here for. Amen. And it's
- 2:05Speaker 1: been so many things going on with friends and family
- 2:08Speaker 1: members and people that are losing family members and a
- 2:13Speaker 1: whole bunch of things, prayer requests going on. I felt
- 2:16Speaker 1: it in my heart that we need to really help
- 2:18Speaker 1: each other. You know, these are the times, man, we
- 2:22Speaker 1: need to stick together, unite and not be you know,
- 2:26Speaker 1: at each other's throat for things that are really not
- 2:30Speaker 1: that important. We need to really be united in faith
- 2:34Speaker 1: and love and community. Amen. Togetherness. There's power and agreement, Amen,
- 2:41Speaker 1: and its power in unity. So listen, help each other,
- 2:44Speaker 1: help somebody today. Amen. I hope this inspires you to
- 2:48Speaker 1: go ahead and help somebody today. Christians are called to
- 2:51Speaker 1: support one another through hardships as part of living out
- 2:54Speaker 1: their faith and love, compassion and community. I love it.
- 2:58Speaker 1: I love it. Let's pray for first, after we pray
- 3:01Speaker 1: with shad this out for like sixty seconds, and then
- 3:03Speaker 1: on the other side of those sixty seconds, we'll dive
- 3:06Speaker 1: right into today's scripture and we'll start there. So, Father,
- 3:09Speaker 1: I thank you that you are the ultimate help and
- 3:12Speaker 1: you've sent us a comforter, a helper. You sent us
- 3:16Speaker 1: a leader to lead us into all truth. I thank you,
- 3:19Speaker 1: Lord God that you're not looking for leaders, You're looking
- 3:22Speaker 1: for followers. And as long as we're following you, Lord Jesus,
- 3:26Speaker 1: we could ask other people to follow us, follow us
- 3:30Speaker 1: as we follow Christ. Cut it to your word. I
- 3:32Speaker 1: thank you, Lord God for your scriptures, your word, which
- 3:35Speaker 1: is all true, all your promises are all yay, and Amen,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I pray Lord God. That you would inspire us to
- 3:41Speaker 1: go ahead and help each other in love, with compassion,
- 3:44Speaker 1: with zeal, with purpose intentionally, and that we will be
- 3:48Speaker 1: united in one body, one faith, one Lord, one Christ,
- 3:53Speaker 1: one kingdom, and we would go on one mission to
- 3:57Speaker 1: go ahead and help each other out. And for all
- 3:59Speaker 1: those outsiders that are outside of the Kingdom of God,
- 4:02Speaker 1: when they see us slow God helping one another, loving
- 4:06Speaker 1: one another, in communication with one another, in communion with
- 4:09Speaker 1: one another, and unity with one another, that they Lord God,
- 4:12Speaker 1: I pray they on the outside we want what we
- 4:15Speaker 1: have on the inside. So I pray peace. I pray unity,
- 4:19Speaker 1: I pray wholeness. I pray healing and faith. I pray
- 4:24Speaker 1: Lord God, strength to our bones, help to our bodies,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and a powerful name of Jesus. I prayed the hedge
- 4:29Speaker 1: of protection over myself, my wife, our children, our family,
- 4:33Speaker 1: our grandchildren, every single person that's connected right now, their
- 4:38Speaker 1: families as well, from the youngest family member to the oldest,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and every single person in between, my friends, and every
- 4:44Speaker 1: single person that decides to listen to these sessions. I
- 4:49Speaker 1: pray peace, be still, I pray healing. I pray the
- 4:53Speaker 1: community of God to be engulfed by a holy spirit God,
- 4:57Speaker 1: to go forth in victory knowing that we are able
- 5:00Speaker 1: to do every single thing that the Word says we
- 5:02Speaker 1: can do. And Jesus Holy Name, I prayed it's by faith.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Amen to that. Amen. If you agree, just say amen. Man,
- 5:09Speaker 1: we're gonna come back after the sixty second time to
- 5:12Speaker 1: share this out. And when we come back, we'll get
- 5:14Speaker 1: into Romans, chapter number twelve, verse number fifteen. I'll be
- 5:18Speaker 1: right back. Hey, man, we're back. We're back. Man. I
- 6:37Speaker 1: like to share this out so as many people as possible,
- 6:40Speaker 1: But I put that sixty second timer to put urgency
- 6:44Speaker 1: in my heart, and it reminds me that it's so
- 6:46Speaker 1: much urgency now that we need to be spreading this out,
- 6:50Speaker 1: the gospel message, the Word of God, how Jesus saves,
- 6:53Speaker 1: how he protects, how he redeems, how he restores, how
- 6:56Speaker 1: he renews a man, that he enables, empowered, that He
- 7:00Speaker 1: loves us, unites us, and we can help each other man,
- 7:04Speaker 1: really help each other in these days that we're living in. Amen.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And hopefully this will echo throughout you know, past way
- 7:11Speaker 1: past my life, that we need to help one another
- 7:13Speaker 1: in love, in compassion in Christ. Amen. So that way
- 7:17Speaker 1: every generation. As long as we have generations here on
- 7:20Speaker 1: this earth will hear this echo of this message through
- 7:23Speaker 1: ministers of the Gospel all around the world, that we
- 7:26Speaker 1: need to be in unity and helping one another. Here
- 7:30Speaker 1: comes the groups open your Bible. Thank you so much,
- 7:33Speaker 1: global ministries, thank you so much. And podcast groups out
- 7:37Speaker 1: there allowing us to share. Thank you so much. I'm
- 7:39Speaker 1: so grateful that you are just united well with the
- 7:44Speaker 1: move here on the morning devo. Amen. So let's get
- 7:47Speaker 1: into the scripture today. Let's get into the scriptures today. Amen,
- 7:52Speaker 1: help each other. Very simple concept, right, listen, when you
- 7:57Speaker 1: do this, when you apply this, Amen, you'll see the
- 8:00Speaker 1: power of God right, the love of God, the compassion
- 8:03Speaker 1: of God working among us and working through us. It's
- 8:06Speaker 1: an amazing ability that we have when we trust in Jesus,
- 8:11Speaker 1: who gives us the availability to do what he wants
- 8:14Speaker 1: to do through us, and the ability to do what
- 8:18Speaker 1: he wants to do through us. Amen. Nothing we could
- 8:22Speaker 1: boast about. Everything that I have that's good comes from
- 8:26Speaker 1: the Father of lights. Amen. And everything you have that
- 8:30Speaker 1: is good comes from the Father of lights. Nothing we
- 8:32Speaker 1: could boast about. It's nothing we have done that we
- 8:35Speaker 1: could say, Oh I did this, and I did that.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Without the power of God, you didn't do nothing. I
- 8:39Speaker 1: didn't do nothing either. Amen. Without his light shining upon us,
- 8:43Speaker 1: we're still in the dark. So let's give God his credit,
- 8:47Speaker 1: give him his props. Amen, give him his glory, because
- 8:50Speaker 1: he deserves the glory, honor, our worship, and our praise daily,
- 8:55Speaker 1: not just on Sundays, Wednesdays, Tuesday, Thursdays, whenever you attend
- 8:59Speaker 1: a church, nervous or Bible study. Not just then, every
- 9:02Speaker 1: single day, be grateful, just like I'm grateful for a
- 9:07Speaker 1: new life. Another day, Amen, another day to go ahead
- 9:11Speaker 1: and help somebody else. It could be something as small
- 9:15Speaker 1: as smiling, or something as big as engaging in somebody's chaos, Amen,
- 9:22Speaker 1: helping out somebody through their chaos. Or since there's a
- 9:25Speaker 1: lot of people mourning deaths and losing loved ones and
- 9:29Speaker 1: all that is happening, Man, I see it all the time.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Every day, we need to be helping each other in
- 9:34Speaker 1: love and compassion. That's what drew me to this word
- 9:39Speaker 1: this morning, to this morning Devo. Amen. I wanted to
- 9:43Speaker 1: really know what to do when my friends and my
- 9:47Speaker 1: family are going through things, Amen, not just to be
- 9:51Speaker 1: like oh man, that's I don't want to have a
- 9:53Speaker 1: pity party with nobody. I want to be able to
- 9:55Speaker 1: encourage somebody. Amen. I want to be able to inspec
- 10:00Speaker 1: all right, somebody look ahead and help somebody else. And
- 10:02Speaker 1: that's why we're here today on the Morning Devo. So
- 10:05Speaker 1: let me see if I get this on the screen. Amen.
- 10:08Speaker 1: For those who are just listening, no worries, no problems.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I know you don't see what's on the screen because
- 10:12Speaker 1: your audio only. Thank you so much for going to
- 10:14Speaker 1: sell our radio network. Soone is with a z do
- 10:17Speaker 1: org and listening. Thank you for listening on a podcast.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We're gonna read this word for word from what we're
- 10:21Speaker 1: seeing on the loud stream. Amen. So that way no
- 10:24Speaker 1: one misses out what's going on. Amen, So help each other.
- 10:27Speaker 1: The title for today's Morning Devo. Amen. When the scripture
- 10:30Speaker 1: is right here, Romans, chapter twelve, Verse number fifteen, Apostle
- 10:34Speaker 1: Paul says, rejoice with those who rejoice, Let's have a
- 10:39Speaker 1: good time. Man. I was at a kid's birthday party.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I was invited, Amen, and I like to have fun. Laugh.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And my daughter, my ten year old, looks at me,
- 10:50Speaker 1: stop dad. And my wife looks at me and said,
- 10:52Speaker 1: what are you doing? I like to have fun. We
- 10:54Speaker 1: need to stop being so lemon face, right, Let's have fun,
- 11:02Speaker 1: let's dance, Let's be joyful, just like we should be
- 11:07Speaker 1: the most joyful people on the planet Earth. So I
- 11:11Speaker 1: don't want to be serious all the time. My wife says,
- 11:13Speaker 1: why don't you act your age? And so I don't know.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I've only been this age one time. Amen. I'm trying
- 11:19Speaker 1: to be joyful because I know that the joy of
- 11:23Speaker 1: the Lord is my strength. I'm not trying to be
- 11:25Speaker 1: weak out here. Rejoice with those who rejoice. That's the
- 11:29Speaker 1: first part, sharing each other's joy. But this part is
- 11:33Speaker 1: where I think I miss sometimes I don't know about you, man,
- 11:38Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing this. And weep with those who weep,
- 11:40Speaker 1: sharing others grief. And I'll be the first to admit
- 11:46Speaker 1: it's hard for me to share with others grief because
- 11:48Speaker 1: it reminds me of my own grief and my past grief.
- 11:52Speaker 1: But the scripture is here. I want to deal with it.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I want God to deal with me with the scripture.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And weep with those who weep. A lot of people
- 12:00Speaker 1: are hurting out there. Man. We need to be one
- 12:04Speaker 1: on one accord, one oneness and unity. Amen. To rejoice
- 12:09Speaker 1: with those who rejoice, and weep with those who we
- 12:13Speaker 1: two sides of it, and both sides are beautiful. When
- 12:16Speaker 1: you allow Holy Spirit God to work this out through
- 12:20Speaker 1: you and through me, it causes a sense of community.
- 12:24Speaker 1: It causes a sense of love from one another. It
- 12:26Speaker 1: causes community and compassion, It causes faith and love, and
- 12:31Speaker 1: ultimately we help each other out. Amen. And we glorify
- 12:35Speaker 1: the Lord because we're showing, because we're showing others that
- 12:41Speaker 1: we love God through us. The hope of glory is
- 12:45Speaker 1: being shown a man, and Baba says, the hope of glory,
- 12:49Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God lives in every single one of the
- 12:53Speaker 1: Lord's children and man. And we're here on purpose. We're
- 12:56Speaker 1: not here by accident. We're not primary mordial slime or
- 13:01Speaker 1: whatever some atheistic scientists are saying. We're not an accident
- 13:07Speaker 1: that happened. We are here on purpose. God was intentional
- 13:11Speaker 1: when created us, Amen, So we should be intentional with
- 13:14Speaker 1: one another. Right. We have the perfect example of a
- 13:18Speaker 1: god man, Jesus, that was intentional with every single situation
- 13:22Speaker 1: he had. When he encountered somebody else, Amen, encountered somebody else.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Here's my notes, where is it here we go? So
- 13:35Speaker 1: sometimes the greatest gift is simply showing up. Sometimes the
- 13:40Speaker 1: greatest gift you could give to somebody is simply being there.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Sometimes the greatest opportunity you have to inspire is just
- 13:49Speaker 1: to be present. Sometimes the greatest gift and the simplest
- 13:53Speaker 1: thing you can do and just be a listening ear
- 13:56Speaker 1: when somebody is going through a hard time, when his
- 13:59Speaker 1: hardships out there, when it's lost, when there's a disease,
- 14:04Speaker 1: or when there's sickness. Sometimes their presence is all that's needed.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Why Because when we show up as the kingdom people,
- 14:11Speaker 1: when we show up as children to God a man,
- 14:14Speaker 1: we're bringing the heaven with us a man, We're bringing
- 14:17Speaker 1: the wholes of angels with us. We're bringing the glory
- 14:19Speaker 1: with us, We're bringing inspiration with us, We're bringing love
- 14:22Speaker 1: with us. Amen. So sometimes simply being there is the
- 14:27Speaker 1: greatest gift you could give to somebody else. And that
- 14:30Speaker 1: helps people. I know it helped me, and it helps
- 14:33Speaker 1: me when I'm going through situations and people just show up,
- 14:37Speaker 1: Amen and dare to dive into my situation. That just
- 14:42Speaker 1: helps me tremendously. So we need to help each other
- 14:46Speaker 1: scripture says what we read and Romans twelt fifteen rejoice
- 14:50Speaker 1: with those rejoice, mourn with those who warn. Right. So
- 14:55Speaker 1: what we're offering, we're offering a safe, judgment, free spe
- 15:00Speaker 1: to talk. When you allow people to talk, let them
- 15:04Speaker 1: talk and listen. Amen, Let people talk. I listen, Amen,
- 15:10Speaker 1: And sometimes when I respond, people don't like my response.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But at least I listen. Amen. At least I listen.
- 15:18Speaker 1: And I think I'm learning more to listen more and
- 15:20Speaker 1: speak less. So my comments are short. My commentary is
- 15:27Speaker 1: shorter than usual. Amen, because I'm trying to listen. I
- 15:31Speaker 1: want to know what's going on. Amen. When people come
- 15:34Speaker 1: to me with issues or with ideas or whatever. I
- 15:38Speaker 1: try to be mindful, Amen, and listen more than I speak.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Because you let people talk enough, you'll realize what's really
- 15:45Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. Some people go with it.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I like to be around people filled up with a
- 15:50Speaker 1: tremendous amount of joy. You let them talk, you get inspired.
- 15:54Speaker 1: And people who are filled with anger or hatred, or
- 15:59Speaker 1: they're going through a hard time. Allow them to speak,
- 16:02Speaker 1: listen to what's going on. Let them speak enough. You
- 16:05Speaker 1: start realizing their story. You start understanding their story. And
- 16:09Speaker 1: you know what's really behind it. So we need to
- 16:12Speaker 1: be mindful of that. I know I need to be
- 16:13Speaker 1: mindful of that. Right. So offering a safe, judgment free
- 16:18Speaker 1: space to talk and sitting in silence, right, Sometimes you
- 16:22Speaker 1: don't have to always have something to say, sitting in
- 16:25Speaker 1: silence with those grieving or those that are overwhelmed. Just
- 16:30Speaker 1: sit there, man, be there. I've done it. People have
- 16:33Speaker 1: done it with me when I've been grieving and they're
- 16:35Speaker 1: just there silently there, and man, it's an amazing thing
- 16:39Speaker 1: that happens. I remember when I first started attending on
- 16:42Speaker 1: Transformation Church Amen years ago. I think it was a
- 16:47Speaker 1: two thousand and okay what year was. But I was
- 16:50Speaker 1: going through a hard time and it's it's a brother there.
- 16:54Speaker 1: His name is Brother Wilbuiz, right. He just has love
- 16:59Speaker 1: on him all the time, and I forgot what I
- 17:02Speaker 1: was going through. I was going through something and he
- 17:03Speaker 1: just came and he helped me a man, And that
- 17:05Speaker 1: embrace meant a lot to me. That embrace, Amen, was
- 17:10Speaker 1: I felt the Lord. I felt God's embrace. Amen. So
- 17:14Speaker 1: there's moments like that that really mattered when we're going
- 17:18Speaker 1: through grief, when we're going through hardships. When we're going
- 17:20Speaker 1: through hard times, amen. And at the same token, when
- 17:23Speaker 1: we're going through good times. Man, it's good to laugh
- 17:25Speaker 1: for our brothers and sisters and the Lord. It's good
- 17:27Speaker 1: to laugh. It's good to have joy, it's good to
- 17:30Speaker 1: have peace. A man is good to have unity. So
- 17:34Speaker 1: we have both ends here. We have rejoicing and we
- 17:37Speaker 1: have mourning. Isn't that life? Sometimes we're happy, sometimes we're sad.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Sometimes we're going through good time, sometimes we're going through
- 17:46Speaker 1: a hard time. The Bible doesn't shy away from life.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think that the Bible's outdated, antiquated,
- 17:54Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense anymore, that it's irrelevant. That it's like,
- 17:59Speaker 1: I don't know where people I don't know what people
- 18:01Speaker 1: are reading, because when I read the scriptures, it's a
- 18:04Speaker 1: today word. When I learn about my God, God is
- 18:08Speaker 1: a now God. He's a present God, not a yesterday God,
- 18:11Speaker 1: not a has been God, not a make believe god,
- 18:15Speaker 1: not a god of Greek mythology, none of that. He
- 18:18Speaker 1: is the Great I am. He is present here, never
- 18:21Speaker 1: has gone away, never will go away. He's been here yesterday, today,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and forevermore. He's present He's the Great. I am right,
- 18:31Speaker 1: So think about it. This is a today time, a
- 18:35Speaker 1: today word right, a now word, a relevant word. Amen, right,
- 18:40Speaker 1: I sing, God, bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devo Amen,
- 18:43Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to flow in Jesus Mighty name. Yes, Jesus
- 18:47Speaker 1: will have his spirit flowing according to his word over
- 18:52Speaker 1: our lives and through our lives. God is amazing. Thank
- 18:55Speaker 1: you for the comment. Spiritual accountability and guidance. Christians lovingly
- 19:03Speaker 1: help each other. Why because we want to stay on
- 19:06Speaker 1: track spiritually. I want to stay connected to the body
- 19:08Speaker 1: of Christ. I don't know about you. When I feel disconnected,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I look at myself first. I don't blame people or whatever.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I look at myself first, a man, what's going on?
- 19:19Speaker 1: Why do I feel disconnected? And sometimes there's reasons. Other
- 19:23Speaker 1: times it's just me a man, to be honest. But
- 19:27Speaker 1: helping each other means that we need to stay on
- 19:30Speaker 1: track spiritually. We need to stay on course a man.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Stick to the script. Like my brother Reech Johnson says,
- 19:38Speaker 1: stick to the script. When we have the Word of
- 19:42Speaker 1: God touching our hearts, we could apply what touches our
- 19:46Speaker 1: heart and help others with the same application. When you
- 19:51Speaker 1: sense the presence of the Lord. You could share that
- 19:53Speaker 1: presence with somebody else. Probably you're helping somebody else, and
- 19:57Speaker 1: you might not have to say a word. I'm telling you,
- 19:59Speaker 1: showing up your presence when you have holy spirit living society,
- 20:03Speaker 1: your presence means so much more sometimes than a sermon,
- 20:07Speaker 1: than a speech, than a cliche saying, than a prophecy. Amen.
- 20:13Speaker 1: A lot of people want to prophesy when people are morning.
- 20:16Speaker 1: That's on them. If that's what the Lord wants to
- 20:19Speaker 1: do at that moment, Amen, go ahead and do it.
- 20:22Speaker 1: B I feel like sometimes you just have to just
- 20:26Speaker 1: show up. I don't like going to funerals. I don't
- 20:29Speaker 1: know if anybody does, but for me, I don't like
- 20:32Speaker 1: going to funerals. It just takes me back more so
- 20:35Speaker 1: many memories come right back, flooding back into my life.
- 20:39Speaker 1: But I go to show support. I go to mourn
- 20:42Speaker 1: with those who on morning, Amen, according to the scriptures.
- 20:45Speaker 1: So I will remove myself and how I feel out
- 20:48Speaker 1: of this situation. And I go, and sometimes they ask
- 20:51Speaker 1: me to speak. I'll say a couple of words, Amen,
- 20:53Speaker 1: and love and respect. But I don't want to be there.
- 20:57Speaker 1: I think nobody wants to be there because death wasn't
- 21:00Speaker 1: supposed to be right. It happened because the Genesis chapter three.
- 21:05Speaker 1: But if you think about it, God then created us
- 21:07Speaker 1: to die, created us to live. So for those who
- 21:10Speaker 1: believe that you have to die to self daily, Amen,
- 21:14Speaker 1: think again. I think you have to deny yourself, deny
- 21:17Speaker 1: your flesh, and God wants you to live daily, not
- 21:19Speaker 1: die daily. Amen. That's just me. If you find scriptures
- 21:23Speaker 1: that support that we have to die daily, that Jesus
- 21:26Speaker 1: Christ died for us to die again, just rethink it
- 21:31Speaker 1: or look at some scriptures and if I'm wrong, just
- 21:33Speaker 1: show me some scriptures about it. But we'll call to
- 21:35Speaker 1: rejoice with those who are rejoicing and to mourn with
- 21:38Speaker 1: those who are morning. We have to be alive for
- 21:40Speaker 1: both things. We have to be alive in Christ. If
- 21:45Speaker 1: I was just worried about dying to self, I'm going
- 21:47Speaker 1: to be ministering to anybody. So hold on. I got
- 21:51Speaker 1: to die to self, so I can't really do nothing
- 21:53Speaker 1: because I'm dying. Come on, man, let's be alive in Christ.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Let's do and repeat what the lords says. Amen. Amen, agree,
- 22:02Speaker 1: one hundred percent. God bless a man, God bless you too.
- 22:06Speaker 1: So encouraging faithfulness and tough seasons. We're gonna go through
- 22:11Speaker 1: tough seasons. I don't know if your preacher is telling you,
- 22:15Speaker 1: or your past is telling you, evangelist is telling you
- 22:17Speaker 1: that we're gonna live our best life on this side
- 22:20Speaker 1: of eternity. I don't know where that's where that comes from.
- 22:24Speaker 1: It sounds great, it does really sound great, but it's
- 22:27Speaker 1: a lie. It's going against what Jesus promised us. He said,
- 22:31Speaker 1: in this world you will have what revelation, right, So
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'm like best life on this side of eternity. No,
- 22:40Speaker 1: I think we're gonna experience mourning, suffering, joy, peace, war.
- 22:46Speaker 1: We're gonna experience what this world is broken with, Amen.
- 22:53Speaker 1: And in the midst of that brokenness, we have the complete, living, holy, righteous,
- 22:58Speaker 1: loving God living within us. And we're gonna walk through
- 23:01Speaker 1: these things. We're gonna walk through situations hand in hand.
- 23:05Speaker 1: We're brothers and sisters. Amen. We help each other by
- 23:09Speaker 1: staying on track. We encourage one another with faith and
- 23:13Speaker 1: tough seasons, and sometimes we have to correct each other
- 23:19Speaker 1: when we're steering off course. So we're going to experience
- 23:23Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff on this side of eternity. The
- 23:27Speaker 1: best life today or the best life now. I don't
- 23:30Speaker 1: buy into that. It's not in the scriptures. I don't
- 23:33Speaker 1: know where we're getting this from. Amen, and shouts to
- 23:37Speaker 1: my revivalists, brothers and sisters. You want a revival and
- 23:40Speaker 1: you're expecting revival, especially when they say this revival come
- 23:44Speaker 1: into America. Praise the Lord. Amen. I would like to
- 23:47Speaker 1: see that too. That's what I'm gonna say. I just
- 23:49Speaker 1: don't see how it's gonna happen. I don't see why
- 23:52Speaker 1: would happen. We're revived, We're the revival, We're born again. Amen.
- 23:57Speaker 1: We're the believers in Christ. We bring life to every situation.
- 24:02Speaker 1: We bring life to every single outreach event or every
- 24:05Speaker 1: community event. We are the life. We're assault and the
- 24:09Speaker 1: earth of the earth, and with the light of the
- 24:11Speaker 1: earth of the world. Amen. Jesus said it. So I'm
- 24:14Speaker 1: gonna disagree with what Jesus says, Amen, and all the
- 24:16Speaker 1: other stuff people are saying. Amen, Praise the Lord. If
- 24:20Speaker 1: that's the direction that the Lord Holy Spirit is taking
- 24:24Speaker 1: you to, Amen, go ahead and do it. But if
- 24:27Speaker 1: you can't back it up scripturally, I think we need
- 24:29Speaker 1: to back down, humbly, back down and be like, wait
- 24:32Speaker 1: a minute, why we're repeating things that are not in
- 24:35Speaker 1: the scripture. I love to be hopeful too, I like
- 24:38Speaker 1: to be joyful too. Amen. Well, why do people think
- 24:41Speaker 1: that there's not going to be tough times and hard times?
- 24:45Speaker 1: I will never appreach that there will be no more
- 24:47Speaker 1: hardship eventually, but not in this world, not on this
- 24:51Speaker 1: side of eternity. There will be no hardship on the
- 24:53Speaker 1: other side. Amen. That's why we're fictures of men here.
- 24:56Speaker 1: We're evangelists here, we prophesy here, beat the gospel and
- 25:01Speaker 1: spread the gospel here. Amen, because we have a short
- 25:03Speaker 1: amount of time here. But on the other side, with
- 25:06Speaker 1: the Lord, it's all eternity. Think about it. We could
- 25:09Speaker 1: be heavily minded and be earthly good at the same time.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Please understand what I'm saying. Understand what Holy Spirit is
- 25:17Speaker 1: saying today. We need to be helping each other through
- 25:20Speaker 1: hard times. We need to rejoice with those who are rejoicing.
- 25:24Speaker 1: If you are in your winning I want to win
- 25:27Speaker 1: with you. I'm going to celebrate you, Amen. But if
- 25:30Speaker 1: you're losing things a man, and you're going through hard times,
- 25:32Speaker 1: I want to be there with you as well. And
- 25:34Speaker 1: I want to be there and help as much as
- 25:37Speaker 1: I can in the situation. I know personally me, I'm
- 25:40Speaker 1: not a multi man there. I have a multi millionaire
- 25:43Speaker 1: in mindset, and I have ideas that I hear that
- 25:46Speaker 1: I have not been I have not been able. I
- 25:49Speaker 1: have not been able to get it out there to
- 25:51Speaker 1: reap that. Amen. But I know for sure that if
- 25:55Speaker 1: I had the money millions and mens upon millions of dollars,
- 25:59Speaker 1: I'll be giving the devil headache more of a headache
- 26:02Speaker 1: because I'll be helping people out financially. I'll be developing
- 26:05Speaker 1: community events and all this other stuff in a greater way. Amen.
- 26:10Speaker 1: That's why you feel led to so into this ministry.
- 26:13Speaker 1: You're not just helping this ministry helping other families and
- 26:16Speaker 1: helping other ministries, because that's just where my heart is.
- 26:18Speaker 1: It's always been there. Amen. So let's see. Roder says, Amens,

- 26:58Speaker 1: when you're suffering, God show up. When you go through
- 27:01Speaker 1: a hard time, God shows up in a powerful way.
- 27:03Speaker 1: God shows up to those who are hurting, to those
- 27:06Speaker 1: who are being persecuted, to those who are experienced experiencing
