  Speaker 1: All at one time, one time deal right there on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the website. Aymen over there, I have a question. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have a question, the question about love because I know
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this is the month that people start gearing towards love
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for their partner, love for their you know, better half
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: or significant other. This question I have is important to me.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Can Creation love? Because I hear a lot of people
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: talking to the universe. You know, a lot people are
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: talking to the universe and they're expecting an answer from.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The universe, a man from creation.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, if you're talking to the creation
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: or you're expecting something from the creation, can creation love.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Today?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: In the morning, devo, let me just read you what
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I wrote here. Creation is the first great testimony of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: God's love. Creation by itself cannot be here unless there
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was a creator, right God. When we speak about the Lord,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: speak about God, the Creator. I think people have different
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: ideas of who the God and the scriptures is, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they tell us believers who study the scriptures, or at
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: least should be studying scriptures about a different God.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Because the God that we're.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Talking about is the God of creation, who is the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: creator of creation. As a matter of fact, that's the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: first great testimony of God's love before God's promises, right
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: before the covenants, before the prophets or salvation.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: History scripture opens by showing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: A God who lovingly brings life, He brings order.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And beauty into existence. Amen.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: God is a triune God. He already had a relationship
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: within the triunity.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Amen. Don't try to make me figure that out or
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: explain that. Amen. Is just the way God is right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The Father is not the Son, the Son is not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, but the Father is God, the Son
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is God, the Holy Spirit is God.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Amen. Of the triune deity of the Lord.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Amen, is he was already in communication with himself. If
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you want to put it in layman's terms, he already had
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: love within the community.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Why would he create outside of himself. Amen. I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that's his first testimony of love. So I believe.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: God created a man to show us his love, his order, Amen,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and his beauty, and he put it into existence. We're
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: gonna be in Genesis chapter one, verse number one, powerful
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: ten words in Genesis one one that if you could
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: come to grips with it, believe it, and if you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: study it out Genesis one one, Amen, you'll realize or
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you will come to a conclusion onto an answer to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this question. Can creation love? Sister Joyne, I see you,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Devo my sister, my friend. So let's go for it.

• 4:18
  Speaker 1: way of turning.

• 4:26
  Speaker 1: giving us.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Purpose, giving us a reason to be here.

  Speaker 1: watching right now will realize that the love of God
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is amazing, the grace of God is next level amazing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And I thank you Lord God for your mercy upon us.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I pray peace over every situation right now. But people
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are facing loss of a loved one, but people are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: facing relational issues, financial issues. I pray peace be still
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in the powerful name of Jesus. I pray that over myself,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: my wife, our children, our grandchildren, people on the other
• 4:59

• 5:02
  Speaker 1: their grandchildren, their relatives, from the very youngest to the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: very oldest, and every single person in between.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I pray peace in the name of Jesus.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I dispatch ark ween angels, ministering angels, warring angels, to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: destroy the tactics of the enemy, the plans of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: enemy to be destroyed right now, the powerful name of Jesus.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And I also pray, Lord God, that you would show
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: us whose love is more valuable than the creation.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Who is it that created that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Shows us his testimony, your testimony, Lord, of your great
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: love for your creation.

  Speaker 1: Amen to the amen. So listen, let's go for it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: After we pray, I mean, excuse me, after we share
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this out for like a minute, I'll be right back
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with the morning Devo. Genesis chapter one, very first book
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of the scriptures. Little tidbit, it's not supposed to be
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the first in chronological order, but the scriptures that we
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: have that we see that reading all these years, Genesis
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is the first book of the sixty sixth book Bible
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that we have in our hands in our possession.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Sixty seconds. Help me shut
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: this up. When we get back, we'll get right into it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Heymen, we're back. Thank you so
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: much for helping me shut it out. Even if I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: not live, you're watching at a later time, or you're
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: listening at a later time, It's okay to shut this out.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And also if you have any questions, comments, concerns, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: could put it up whenever you get that whenever you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: get that confidence or that courage to just apply a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: comment or concerned even on my podcast platforms, heymen, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: should be on your favorite platforms. If not, let a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: brother knows that where I could try to get on
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: your favorite platform for a podcast only a man.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So let's go forward.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Let me share the screen here and let you see
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what God put on my heart.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And for those who are just listening, no worries, no problems.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: We gonna read this word for word. Want everybody to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be on the same page literally, amen. So grab your scriptures,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: grab your Bible, your Bible app however you want to do. It,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and let's try to see where this question takes us.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Can Creation love to day in the morning devo?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Because you know, people are gearing up for this Valentine's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: season and a lot of people are presenting their way
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of showing love to their partner, to their significant other,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to family members in different ways. But when I hear
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the conversation that people are having with the universe, with
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the creation, I'm wondering, do they think that Creation loves?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Because they speak to the creation a lot, they speak
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to the universe a lot. You probably know what I'm
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: talking about when you hear people I'm doing those things,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So you know I'm not here to you know, ridicule
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: or to make fun of him, just here to ask
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: them questions a man and get some answers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Biblically through the scriptures.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Genesis, chapter one, verse number one says, in the beginning,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: God Elohem created by forming from.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Nothing the heavens and the earth.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So God created a man in the beginning, not his beginning,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in our beginning. Because the God that we're speaking of,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the God that we're reading about right now, has no beginning,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: has no end. He's an eternal being, a man. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in the beginning, God Elohem created by forming from nothing
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the heavens and the earth. That shows that he's creates her.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That shows that he loved his creation. And we're part
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of his creation. Ladies and gentlemen. The Bible says, we
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are created in the image of God. He created them
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: male and female. Then we are created in the image
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of God. But in the beginning, before the promises, before
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the prophecies, before salvation history, God showed up as creator,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a loving creator who showed up and formed the heavens
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and the earth. You could also see this in Hebrews
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: chapter eleven, verse number three. This is an amazing, amazing verse,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the first ten words of the scriptures.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: If you could put your emphasis, your reading, your moments,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: your studying on that, it will really really shine the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: light on the love of God. Amen on one of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: his purposes. One of his characteristics as creator is that
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he's a loving creator, not an unloving creator.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: He created because he loves Amen, and he has a
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: purpose and plan, and he puts value over his creation.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He puts value in us, and he puts value me
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and value in you.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So can creation love right?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Creation itself points towards points to a creator. Everything that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you and I see, like where I'm sitting right now,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't build this studio. It was here and I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: just modified it a man. I added to what was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: already here. That's because I'm a creation, part of creation.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: But the creator of this place a man never knew
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: who they were. I just knew the result. I could
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: see the result of what they created. There was an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: intelligent mind or intelligent minds that were responsible for creating
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: this place where I call the studio where I'm broadcasting from.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Creative minds created a way for us to broadcast this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: live stream, to have a mic and audio devices that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: supercast to someone's AirPods or ears right now audibly.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So we know that things just don't pop up. We
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: know that what we have and what we see had
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to be from someone's intelligent mind to create a thing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That's creation though, Amen, what's not about to create? Tour
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the guy who created all things, including us, and gave
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: us intelligence to create other things. Amen, Things that we
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: can see, touch, hear, smell, like chefs. Who would have
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: ever thought that people who are chefs and cooks, right,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: people who really know to cook will become rock stars
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and have their own TV networks, right, Someone with an
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: intelligent mind loved that idea so much, respected the craft
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: so much that they created ways for those chefs, those
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: iron chefs, those chefs that you see in the popular
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: restaurant's popular TV programs that are now superstars, because someone
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: loved the craft so much, loved cooking so much that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: they created a platform for those chefs to shine. Well,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: God is greater than that. He loved us so much
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that he set himself in the form of a man, Jesus,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: everlasting life, eternal life, the Gospel of John three sixteen.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And he created this creation. Amen, He created me and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you with a purpose, in a plan. Why because he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: loved us and he wants us to shine. He wants
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: us to shine his glory in this world. We have
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a purpose.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: He has a plan, and we're on it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We're on it. Let me just get to my notes
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: real quick. So I think creation is this first great testimony,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: God's first great revelation of his love.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: His love is beauty. Creation is not in personal right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Creation is a personal thing. It flows from the heart,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and it flows from the character of a loving God,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: not an unloving God, because I don't think a loving
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: God would have created outside of himself, right, a loving God,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: unloving God would have been selfish and be like, I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: don't need creation. I'm already God, I don't need anybody.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But he created us. He created the animals, the stars,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the sky, the moon, the planets, the galaxies amen to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: show his glory. Then he created man in his image
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: right to show his love for us. Amazing, Amazing Genesis.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: The book of Genesis is amazing. Genesis one one is
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: where we're camping out. The Bible never presents God as
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: needing creation. That's why I'm like blown away every time,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: like why did you put this here?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Lord?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And people resent that that we're here because they're going
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: through hard time and this world is broken. But God
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: answers the well. God's tells us the reason why this
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: world is the way it is. The system of this
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: world is broken because the Genesis chapter three. Read it
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: for yourself and let me know which you think. Genesis
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: chapter three is the reason why this world is so
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: corrupt and messed up and broken. His actor, creation or
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: creating is an expression of generosity. He shares existence right
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He shares the beauty and the goodness with creatures who
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: did not exist before. So that means if we didn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: exist before, we had a creator, that have us existing now?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Now He wants us to live, not just exists. He
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: wants to put his love in us. He wants to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: put his spirit in us. It meant because love gives,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the love of God gives, for God gave his only
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: begotten son, right, the love of God gives. God declares
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: his creation, and if you read through Genesis and the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: creation story, he calls his creation good.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Amen. He doesn't say now this is not.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Good until later on with Noah and the flood. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: while he was creating, he said, wow, this is good.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And when God says something is good, it's good. So
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: when God calls you and I good, When God calls
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you and I holy, When God calls you and I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: trustworthy or are faithful or more than conquerors, when He
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: calls us to be to be imitators of him, Amen,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that's from God. He allows us to be who God
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: calls us to be.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He created us for a purpose. And the Genesis chapter
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: one in verse ten, twelve, eighteen, twenty one, and twenty five,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and God saw that it was good.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He says it, he speaks it out. Amen.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So those days that I don't feel like, you know, worthy,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: or those days that I don't feel like I'm good
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: anymore or good enough, I have to remember that the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Creator said that his creation was good. Men, and the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. God reminds me a man, No, God says
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: what he created was good. So therefore walk in the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: goodness of God, the Creator, the creative, all that we see,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: even the things we don't see, the unseen things in
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the spiritual realm right now that are warring right now.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Against our souls.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: God sees that a man, and he empowers us to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: walk through that in victory.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Everything God makes.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Everything God makes, reflects his love, his goodness and joy,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: even the little answer the insects that I always wonder.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Some of those creatures, to me, my personal opinion, look
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: really hideous and ugly, and you'll be thinking, why did
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: God create that? Well, I don't have all the answers
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: for all of creation, obviously.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And you don't either.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: But scientists are amazed by these animals or these insects
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that seem to be useless. And then when scientists get
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: ahold of those things, and they study these insects and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: these hideous looking animals whatever. There's a purpose behind what
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they do and why they're here.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm not smart enough or I haven't spent enough
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: time to look at creation as in animal kingdom and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: all that stuff in sects. But there's a reason and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: purpose why God has made things, and he makes it
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: according to his love and his goodness, and he has
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: joy in doing that and creating whatever he creates. Humanity
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is made in God's image, right Genesis chapter one, twenty
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: six and twenty seven around there, let us make mankind
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in our image.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Let's love so much that we're going to create mankind
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: in God's image.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: So that way we already know.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I will have an idea of the image of God
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: because we're created in his image.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So it's amazing you see people all over the world
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a man created in the image of God. But that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean what all sons and daughters of living God.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Only Jesus gives us the right to be called children
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of God. We're created in the image of God. Yes,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of people speak to the creation,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: they speak to the universe, and they say, oh, we're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: all children of God, regardless if you believe in Jesus
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: or not. That's not true Biblically, that's not true. It
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: sounds good, and it sounds like, oh yeah, you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: everybody's made an image of God, so we're all children
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of God. It sounds good, but it's not biblical. Only
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus through what he did, his sacrifice, how he was
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: presenting himself, his love, his grace, his mercy, his salvation.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Only through Jesus to Christ, he gives us the right
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to be called children of God. So to be made
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: in God's image is to be given dignity. Right, everyone
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: should be treated with dignity. Everyone has intrinsic value. Everyone
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: has value a man. We can't treat each other like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: You can't treat me like I'm less than. I can't
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: treat you like you're lesson because we're created in the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: image of God, and God has us here on purpose
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: for a purpose, and He has a perfect plan for
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you and me. So to be made in God's image
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: is to be given dignity, purpose, and relationship.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Christianity, Biblical Christianity is not about our religion. Biblical Christianity
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: is about our relationship in Christ, Amen, and with one another.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Love creates beings capable of love. You understand that that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if God never created us in his image, we wouldn't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: know what love is.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Because God is love. We wouldn't have an idea of
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: God's love is a gop a love if he didn't
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: show it to us. First, Amen, the Lord God Elohem right, yahweh.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: He shows us his eternal power by creating creation and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: creating us.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: We were created. It's that there's evidence of creation.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Look around, look at the stars, look at the sky,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: look at the moon, look at the planets, look at
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the sun. All that that God created you. I mean,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: people do believe that nothing came out of like something
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: came out of nothing. But God saw the nothing and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: he created and informed nothing into something, not the Big Bang.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people respectfully believe in that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: evolution all that, and they talk about they attack mens
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and mens of years to their theory. But God is
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: saying no. In the beginning, God created the heavens and
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the earth, so they you have time, you have space,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and you have matter. You have what science needs for
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: scienceists to practice their science or to study out the universe,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to study out the stars and all that God put
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it there. It was already there. We're studying what was
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: already there, and scientists are studying what was already here.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: But you know that's a different story about the millions
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and millions of years.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Amen. So God shares his own life with us, and
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: he breathes life.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Into our nostruls for humanity, right, the intimate creation of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: humanity Genesis chapter two and seven. Of course, you don't
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: have time. I don't have time to go through these
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: scriptures right now. I'm just putting these scriptures out there
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: so you could see it for yourself. If you think
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: this is far fetched and this is way out of there,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: it's actually written in the scriptures.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Brother Frank, I see you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: God, bless you by bless you in your family and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: everybody in the morning, DEVO, love you all. Thank you

• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to see you in the morning, DEVO. So God breathed
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: into our nostruls, breathed into Adam's nostruls.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: He breathed the breath of life.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: That's why I always tell people who are suffering with asthma,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: or they have children or relatives or loved ones.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That suffer with asthma.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I always say, speak the breath of life, Elohem, the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: breath of life into the body, because God breathed life
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: into us.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So that name alohem rock elohem, Amn all that the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: breath of life, the life that He breathed into his creation.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You need to speak that over people who are having
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: trouble breathing.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Amen. I've seen that with my own eyes.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: With our daughters that were born, not our daughters now,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: but our daughters before that didn't make it to this
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: side of eternity because of God's purpose.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: We used to speak that, and we heard people pray
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that over our children and they would just breathe.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Amen. God is powerful.
• 23:38

  Speaker 1: and a new earth to re establish that creation. Creation

  Speaker 1: When I put here to just scratch and scrape and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: just make it by a man, it's a gift of beauty.

  Speaker 1: Creation is a gift of beauty, not just for survival.

  Speaker 1: you and the Lord is really not about financial abundance.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. It's about how he
