• 0:28
  Speaker 1: fast week for me at least, Amen, And these whole
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: weeks and days and months.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Just flying by. Man.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I was telling a brother in christ yesterday where we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: were picking up our kids from school. Man' I don't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: look at the calendar no more, cause every time I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: see somebody's kids that graduating from high school, I'm looking
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: at my own kids and that it's growing up so fast.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Time is flying right by us. Amen.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That's why we don't have time to waste. We shouldn't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: be playing around, flirting around with things that don't matter,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and we shouldn't be holding hatred in our hearts towards
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: one another. A Manca's time is gone by real fast.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Another man of God that was well known in Christian circles.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Vote Bacham, did I say his name right?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Went to be with the Lord yesterday the day before
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: from the time of it this recording, and another person
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that I just saw and went to be with the Lords,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: people's moms, dads. Every day is a new day, but
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: at the same time, every day, one day it's going
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to be our last day here on earth. So let's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: make this day count. Let's make the day's count more.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And it's just so real when we see people that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we love, people that we know, people just passing away
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: into eternity. Man, it's a real thing. And I know
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know I'm not into gloom and doom, and I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: understand that it hurts when we lose a loved one,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: even pets system. My sister in Christ lost her dog,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and it hurts. All of this pain, right, all of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this hurt or all of this loss, it could really
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: weigh us down if we're not careful and forget that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we have the eternal One living within us by way
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. If you're not a believer in Christ,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know you know how you do it. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: don't know how you get by when life and impressures
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of life hits you. If you don't have God in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: your life. Amen, So we're gonna just love our enemies.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, Jesus commands us to love your enemies.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: God hates hatred that is destructive, unjust, divisive, hypocritical, or
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: murders our heart. He hates that, Let's get that straight.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, Amen, although he hates all
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of that, all those activities, he loves his creation.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We're created in the image of God.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So a lot of us are trying our best to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: stay away from xyz sin right. And it starts from
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: inner self, Like I look in the mirror of line
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and be like, am I that person? And I don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: point fingers, and I see things and I want to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: say things, I want to respond in a certain way,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but I always think about it like this, is that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: going to hurt the person? Or is that gonna help
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the person? Is the person mature enough to receive correction
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: or not? Should I cast out the demon and the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus? And then I ask myself, where would
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that demon go? If that person is not filled or
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: responding to the Gospel message in the first place, or
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they're living in a false type of Christian life, then
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the demon will come back more harder with other people,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with other demons, excuse me, and it'll be worse off.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm real, real careful with what I say and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what I do.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, sister, you gonna have to tell me, Am, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: saying your name right? Is it Talisha or Talsha? Good morning,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Yes, Glory to God, Golly.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Wasn't yes? Correct me if I'm saying your name wrong.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: My sister, someone yesterday at church.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Told me I said her name wrong.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And if she's on here again, and if I say
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: her name wrong again, I told her to correct me
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on the spot because I'm known to but your names.
• 4:35

• 5:11
  Speaker 1: since is Jayne. Good morning, God bless you. I hope
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you're feeling better, my sister. I know you were dealing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with what you said. Yesterday, and I'm hoping and pray
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that you learned or you're learning how to make the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: spiritual exchange from depression to the joy of the Lord. Amen,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: exchange that give it back to where it came from.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Right life happens, Luke, Chapter six, verse twenty seven. That's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: where we're gonna be at today. It's Friday, so we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: get into authentic imitationology. Every Friday we try best to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: imitate the most successful person who has ever lived on
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this planet, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He is our model, he is our perfect example. He
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is our Lord, he is our Savior, he is.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: All and all. He is God almighty in the flesh. Amen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And he's coming back for a perfect, spotless bride.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So in the meantime, let's go ahead and love our enemies.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I know it's not as easy as I'm saying it,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I know, but we're commanded to do so. And when
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the world sees that, right, they're gonna be like, where
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: are these people from? Because they're not from here, Because
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's not normal for any person to love their enemies.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But Jesus is not a normal man, never was a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: normal man. He is God in the flesh, and his
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: commandments stand. He's a command the commander of the command.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Mets amen. So let's pray first.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: After we pray, we'll share this out for like sixty seconds,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and then on the other side of these sixty seconds
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get right back into the morning.

• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the prayer, we say Amen to the Amen. Let's go
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: ahead and share this out. When we come back, we'll
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: get right into Luke chapter number six, number twenty seven

• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you're helping other ministries and other families as well. It's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: point blank period, because I know for sure what I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: was given is not for me to hoard, is for
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: me to share, point blank amen. And these morning DeVos
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is a result of just being obedient to what God
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: spoke over my life years ago. It was a question
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord asked me. He says, how come you don't
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: put me first anymore? And I said what? And he said, yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you don't put me first anymore. You open your eyes,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you do everything else, and then you leave me for
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the end of the night or the end of the day.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And I said, wow, Lord, I'm gonna give you the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: first part of my day.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So I changed from being a night owl into an
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: early bird, right. And it's because God is that good, Amen.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And if I have to lose sleep to put him first,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be so worth it, at least in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: my humble opinion, in my life at least.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So if you know God is good, you already know
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that he is worth listening to. He's worth finding out.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: He is worth reading about, he is worth praising, He
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is worth it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: He is powerful, he's everlasting, He's Lord, and he's God almighty,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and he asks us things to do in life right
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that will only benefit us. Have you ever noticed that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: when Jesus asks us to do something, it's not to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: hurt us, right, It's to benefit us and benefit others
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: around us. The worst enemy that I have because we
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: have a defeated foe, he's our foe, the devil Satan.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He's a defeated foe. So he's not really the issue
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in my life at least. The issue is me, my
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: old old sinfle nature, the flesh. That's my worst enemy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Hey man, at this point of my walk with the Lord,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that's my worst enemy. So I'm trying to key in
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: on what God is saying, what he's doing right, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to respond accordingly and quickly. Usually I would
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: just think about things and be like, yeah, I hear you,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord, But I don't want to do that today.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'll try that next week. And I'm seeing people every
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: day going to be with the Lord, dying and going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: into eternity other places, and I'm like, oh, Wow. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: it's really not a thing of I'll wait. It's a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: thing about I'll do right. It's not about just listening
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to the word of God. It's about it's about applying
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the word of God. I know too much, and I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: know you know a lot too. On the other side
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of the screen, you might know too much too. Just
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: do by faith. Just do, and God will meet you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: on the other side of your faith.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's the Holy God that we serve. So let's go
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's check this out. Authentic imentationology. We want
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to love your enemies, Jesus said, So we're gonna love
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: our enemies. It's not easy, but with the power of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: God in us, we could do it. Luke, Chapter six,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: verse twenty seven. But I say to you who are
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: listening now to me, Are you listening in order to heed?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Make it a practice to love your enemies, treat well,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: do good, to act nobly toward those who what those
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: who detest you and pursue you with hatred. Oh, my goodness,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Lord help us, because there's a lot of hatred going on.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Political hatred, religious hatred, family hatred, relationship hatred. People don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like to see people succeed even believers.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yesterday I said hi to someone and they just looked
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: at me with a face like who you're talking to?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Wow, Okay, that's where we're at.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: But it's because of immaturity. At the same time, I said,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: let me just walk away, so that way I don't
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: cause any arm by what I say.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And that was.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: A little example of what God wanted me to speak
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: about today. If that person considers me their enemy, I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: still love them, right, Jesus said, But I say to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you who are listening now to me, in order to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: say he make it a practice to love your enemies,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: treat well, do good, to act nobly toward. And that's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the way we operate as brothers and sisters, as a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: royal priesthood, right as the family of God, as the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: people who are more than conquerors, right as those who
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: are peacemakers, those who are meek, and we inherit the earth,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: not weak, but meek, We inherit the earth. Even those
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: who detest us and pursue us but hatred. Jesus said,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: love them opposite of what our flesh wants to do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It's opposite of what people want us to respond how
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they want us to respond. All you gotta take that, Sam,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you gotta let that just slide by. And although it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: not easy, at least for me, it might be a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: little easier for you. But when I feel disrespected, man,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't disrespect people.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I don't. I try my best to walk humbly. Amen.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And then when people just act crazy and disrespect it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: is so hard for me to stay in that position
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of love.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But what kicks in when I don't have nothing to give?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God, that's right, he kicks in and he helps.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He's a comforter, is a helper, our leader.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He leads us into all truth and he reminds us
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of the commandments of God. That's the beauty of it all. Now,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I said earlier when we first started that God hates hatred.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't sound grammatically correct, but God hates hatred.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: That is destructive. And what is destructive destruction?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people are self destructing right in front of our eyes,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and the love for people that I have, I try
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to interfere with that destruction. I don't want nobody to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: hurt themselves, hurt others. I want everybody that has the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: potential to live a life in abundance according to God's promise.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I want them to live that life. I want to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: live that life. You want to live that life. And
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: we could come together and be mature about things.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of the scriptures, believe it
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: or not. I rote with people, and I know people
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that notice up and down way more than I do.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I'm believing in what I know, and I'm trying to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: grow from what I know, and I want to grow
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: closer to who I know, which is the Lord.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Day by day, every day is a new day, a
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: new start, a new opportunity.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: When you crack open those scriptures, that's the word of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: life for your day.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, now this is the test. This is the sister
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that corrected me. Bless you, my sister. Now correct me
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong and you just told me. But I'm
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: horrible with names.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Pray for me. Okay, So you said I set your
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: name wrong.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: It's it Franciela Francilia right or Franceella. It's Francilia right. Amen,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Sister. Good morning, it's good to see you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It was good to see you last night as well
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: at Church, God, bless you correct me though if I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: said you name wrong. So love your enemies, do good
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to those who hate you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: The world system says, listen, if they hate on you,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you hate back. The world system is saying, I match
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the energy, match their energy. If they come to you
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: all ratchet, you get ratchet. If they come to you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: all angry, you get angry. If they come to you,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you, thank you Lord. I got your name right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sister. I don't like to say people's names wrong.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So we're not going to match energy because if I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: match energy, Amen, I'm just like the world. So someone
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: comes up to me and they cursed me out, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: then I match that energy and I curse them out.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? What am I doing? Amen?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not sending an example of who I am in Christ.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just sending an example of how the flesh at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that moment is taking over my life.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And if it happens, it happens.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And God will forgive us if we go to God
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to for for forgiveness, we ask got to forgive us
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for those errorsm mistakes and failures. Yes he will, but
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm trying not to make that a habit. I'm trying
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not to make it a habit of failing all the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: time and asking for asking Jesus to forgive me all
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the time. Holy Spirit is grieved if I play that game.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: If I play that game, I.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Know what to do.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But you know I'll do this later. No, today is
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the day of salvation. Today's the day of the Lord.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Today is the present day. Tomorrow's not promised. And having
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you notice that yesterday is far away already, we need
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to live this life out loud in love. Loving our
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: enemies is not a natural thing. Loving our enemies, it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a supernatural thing. Go ahead and fight me on that, right.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: It's a supernatural thing. There's no way people don't get
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: up and say, I'm going to love my enemy today. No,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the Lord helps us to love our enemies according to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: his word and purpose in our lives. Since the joys.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you, God, bless you. Thank you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for the blessing over the group in Jesus name. Yes,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: praise the Lord. So this is supernatural. Right, we don't
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: respond in a natural way. At least we shouldn't anymore,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: because if we do, we know ourselves.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll flip out. Now.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: We are the people on this earth according to God's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: word that we should have no worry or fear. Do
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we worry in fear sometimes? Yes, but we're not supposed to.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Hey man, according to God's word, we're supposed to not
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and supplication,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: make our requests known to God and.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: What God will show up.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing because if not, if we're not prayed up,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if we're not following the God's commandments, if we're not
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: trusting and having faith in the Lord, when something happens
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that's not really nice to us, we're going to respond
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in an unnice way as well. If that's a word.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Get what I'm saying. So, God hates hatred that is destructive.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: We're not supposed to be the haters. We're not supposed
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to be destructive. We're supposed to be the peacemakers and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: will be blessed for it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: God hates the unjust, things that are unjust, not the unjust,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because unjust.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: People are people.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: God loves all people, He loves all of the creation,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: but the action of.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Being unjust he doesn't like that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: So we're supposed to be the ones rulling around with
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the justice in our hearts, a man and the peace,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the divisive, hypocritical or murderous people or murderous at heart,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: those things, Amen. I'm careful not to say murderous people
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: hating people, because God loves the person.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Is the action that he hates that people do. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I know that because for my own testimony, when I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: came to the Lord, or when the Lord found me,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: because I was lost, God was never lost. I was
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: full of hate. I was full of murderous thoughts. I
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: was full of adulterous thoughts. I was full of alcohol
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: marijuana at the very same time that I was calling
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: out for him to save me and change me. So
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: if he hated me, then he would have never responded
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: in the love that he responded. I was a hater
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of God. I was an enemy of God. So therefore
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: God follows. He makes the commandment because he already achieved
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: or he ready to fulfill the commandments that he speaks
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: out to us. So here I was his enemy, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: with his love he loved me anyway when I called.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: On to him.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And listen my testimony, if you heard it, before. I
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: didn't call on to the Lord Jesus. I called on
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to an unknown God that night. It was an unknown god.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I did not know him.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I did not serve him, I did not respect him,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I did not believe in him. I did not follow him,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: none of it. But I knew deep down that there
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: had to be a God of heaven and earth. There
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: had to be a God who could transform my life.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And if there wasn't, I would have found out that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: night that asked him to change me, to come into
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: my life. And I was all of this. I was
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: all of this on this list. I was destructive, I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: was unjust, I was divisive, I was hypocritical, and I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: was murderous at heart. So I know for sure that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: although God hates those things, he loves the person because
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he knows without him right where lifeless without him were
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: just existing. Without him, we could do nothing. But with
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: him we could do all things through Christ Jesus, who
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: gives us the strength God didn't. Jesus didn't come to
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: die and condemn the world. He came to die to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: save the world. Jesus did not come to create a religion.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: He came to establish the Kingdom of God. Right let's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: read our scriptures. Man, it's a beautiful gospel that we have, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and John. And then see how the apostles were getting
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: busy in the Book of Acts, you know, casting out
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: demons right on preaching the gospel. People we're gonna say,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they'll fill the Holy Spirit. You see it all in
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a Book of Acts. Then Romans gives us the biblical
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: practical way of being a Christian.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Then we have the Book of James.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Right, these are some of my favorite books, which is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to me, it's like the New Testament Proverbs. Then of
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: course you have Revelation where you see the end times unfolding.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: For John the revelator, when he was exiled to that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: island that he was on, God was showing him the Revelation,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: not revelations, the revelation of Christ, Jesus. This is amazing
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: what we have. But this, go ahead and share what
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we have. We know, I know for sure, not everybody's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: gonna want to get on board. Not everybody's gonna believe
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: what we're saying. Not everybody's going to want to follow
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: our Jesus. Not everybody's gonna believe in God or the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Bible or none of that.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I know that one hundred percent to be true because
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I was one of those people who you couldn't You
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell me nothing. It had to be an act
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of God in my life to make me a believer.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I had a personal encounter with the living, holy, righteous, loving,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: just holy God, and he changed my life. And I'm
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: still being changed and transformed. You know people right now
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that you would deem your enemies, they hate you, They
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: try to do all kinds of things, they talk about you.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: They are causing division around you, right, And this could
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: happen in church, outside of church, at your work, at
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: your school place. Amen, on the phone, in person at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the supermarket. What are we gonna do? Are we gonna
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: hate them back? Are we gonna fight evil with evil?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna fight hatred with hatred? Are we gonna
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: do wrong and we get wrong done to us and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: do wrong to them? No, We're gonna love our enemies,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: according to what the Lord says.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Ben So, I kind of knew.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: The other day yesterday in my situation, I kind of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: knew certain people were gonna respond certain ways because it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just immaturity and me being a man of God.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, let me just walk away.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes people are not ready for correction. People are
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: not ready for this extreme love. Because when you go
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to people who will have something against you with love,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: they get more angry. I've seen it with my own eyes. Amen,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I've done it. I've tried it out people that don't
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: like me and I hit them with love.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Whoof, they get more.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Angry because they're like, why aren't you responding to my hatred?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Why aren't you responding to my anger? Why aren't you
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: responding to my xyz?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Or?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Because I've been there, done that, I noticed. No, there's
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: no good result coming outside out of that bad behavior.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I used to be a bad person, and some people
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: still think I'm a bad person. Some people still think
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I'm an evil person. I'm just a different, forgiven man, Amen,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: same sam different man.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Amen. So you could do it if I could do it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Because God calls us to do it by way of
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: his power, of a way of his Holy Spirit.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: But I'm out of time. Amen.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and check out Luke chapter six, verse
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: twenty seven today see how the Lord will speak to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you about it. Read the whole chapter Luke, chapter six,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out with me for
• 27:27
