- 1:30Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Devo. Today we're going to
- 1:33Speaker 1: talk about change your mindset. Change your mindset today on
- 1:39Speaker 1: the Morning Devo. Our minds must be focused on spiritual things,
- 1:45Speaker 1: not just on natural things, but on spiritual things. Why
- 1:50Speaker 1: because we've been talking about this for a minute. Temporal things,
- 1:54Speaker 1: the things that we see, the things that we know
- 1:57Speaker 1: of right here on this side of eternity, they're all temporate.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It's like a drop in a bucket of eternity. Like
- 2:06Speaker 1: you could live one hundred and twenty years and that'll
- 2:08Speaker 1: be just like a millisecond drop in the bucket when
- 2:12Speaker 1: it comes in compares to eternity. Amen. So the life
- 2:16Speaker 1: that we live here on this planet's very important. We
- 2:18Speaker 1: have one life to live on this side of eternity.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So let's make it count. Let's preach the gospel, Let's
- 2:24Speaker 1: make disciples. Let's baptize people in the name of the
- 2:27Speaker 1: Father's Son and Holy Goes the same way that the
- 2:30Speaker 1: Lord commanded us. His last commandment is our first priority, right,
- 2:34Speaker 1: So let's do that. But the worldly things and the
- 2:37Speaker 1: attachments you have, get it out of your system. Amen,
- 2:42Speaker 1: don't think in that way because those are temporary things
- 2:45Speaker 1: that are here today and what gone tomorrow. What we
- 2:49Speaker 1: need to do is be focused a man on spiritual things.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Don't just have spiritual things in your mind and in
- 2:58Speaker 1: your conversation all to be the priority. Like people are
- 3:03Speaker 1: not gonna be able to talk to you if you're
- 3:04Speaker 1: just talking about, you know, spiritual things. But you have
- 3:07Speaker 1: this balance. We know that there's a God, We know
- 3:10Speaker 1: that Jesus is Lord. We know that the Holy golds,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God in us is guiding us into all truth. Right,
- 3:18Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't know this. A lot
- 3:20Speaker 1: of people are wondering how life works in God, in Christ,
- 3:24Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of God. So we're an expression, we're
- 3:28Speaker 1: an example, we're living testimonies. I like to say, we're
- 3:31Speaker 1: walking churches, we're walking temples. A man in the world
- 3:36Speaker 1: that's so full of corruption. People are in darkness, people
- 3:40Speaker 1: are unsaved, headed in an eternity without Jesus. And we're
- 3:45Speaker 1: here to be the light and salt of the earth.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So let's be that. Let's be who God calls us
- 3:51Speaker 1: to be, and let the world do what the world does. Right,
- 3:54Speaker 1: Unsaved people are gonna do what unsaved people do. We're
- 3:57Speaker 1: not here to judge. We're here to know who we
- 3:59Speaker 1: are are in Christ. And then we're here to speak word,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and we're here to apply word in our lives so
- 4:05Speaker 1: that where others around us could see that God is real.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He does what he says he will do. His word
- 4:10Speaker 1: performs what the word says it will perform. Amen. And
- 4:14Speaker 1: we are traveling pilgrims on a mission to plant seeds
- 4:19Speaker 1: of eternal life all throughout the earth. Right, And that
- 4:23Speaker 1: sounds like a great, big mission. But we have everything
- 4:26Speaker 1: we need to live this life out in godliness and righteousness.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And God says he promised that he will be with
- 4:32Speaker 1: us until the end of the age. In other words,
- 4:36Speaker 1: we are never alone, we're never abandoned, we're never separated
- 4:39Speaker 1: from Holy Spirit. God, you don't have to try to
- 4:43Speaker 1: get closer to the one who lives inside of you. Amen.
- 4:47Speaker 1: That's the closest God is going to get to us.
- 4:49Speaker 1: On this side of eternity, living within every single child
- 4:53Speaker 1: of God. We're going to be a Roman Chapter number eight,
- 4:56Speaker 1: verses five to eight. Amen. God has us on this
- 5:00Speaker 1: mission by attitude, mindset, Amen, mental health. He wants us
- 5:05Speaker 1: to be whole, and he wants to save our entire
- 5:09Speaker 1: self like I got saved entirely, this whole thing about
- 5:14Speaker 1: die to yourself and deny this and deny that, and
- 5:18Speaker 1: you know that we don't count, and it's only God
- 5:21Speaker 1: in us that matters. I don't know. That's a little
- 5:24Speaker 1: iffy in my opinion, humble opinion. God wants us entirely, Amen.
- 5:31Speaker 1: He wants you entirely and me entirely saved and whole,
- 5:35Speaker 1: born again and responding to His word. Not just half
- 5:39Speaker 1: of us, not just you know, just not just our mind.
- 5:42Speaker 1: He wants our mind, soul, body, everything, and we give
- 5:47Speaker 1: it to him willingly because why because He deserves all
- 5:50Speaker 1: the glory on the worship of praise. So change your
- 5:53Speaker 1: mindset today in the morning, Devo what we're gonna do.
- 5:55Speaker 1: We'll pray first. After we pray, we'll share this out

- 6:09Speaker 1: to the algorithm. We're addicted to God's word, Amen. And
- 6:13Speaker 1: we're allergic to sin. So moments eight, five and eight
- 6:19Speaker 1: will pray. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or

- 10:31Speaker 1: blood that's flowing in me, Amen is cleanse So they're
- 10:34Speaker 1: gonna be blessed. Whatever bug bit me, they're gonna be blessed.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Walking around and flying around like, Wow, why did I
- 10:40Speaker 1: bite him? Amen? Well, you got contact with one of
- 10:43Speaker 1: God's children. So whether God wants you to survive it,
- 10:47Speaker 1: that's between God and that insect. Amen. I know it
- 10:51Speaker 1: sounds weird, but listen, spiritual things are flowing through my
- 10:54Speaker 1: mind right now. Amen, not just carnal things, natural things
- 10:57Speaker 1: and all that stuff now supernatural, super natural, supernatural. Amen,
- 11:01Speaker 1: Charlotte Rebecca, thank you so much for following us on
- 11:05Speaker 1: Cellar Radio Network. Amen, change your mindset, change your mindset
- 11:09Speaker 1: today in the morning Devo, let's see what the Word
- 11:12Speaker 1: of God has for us today. Amen. And man, praise
- 11:16Speaker 1: the Lord. He's been dealing with our attitudes. You've been
- 11:20Speaker 1: dealing with our mindsets lately in the Morning DeVault. Right.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And I don't make these things up. I don't. If
- 11:26Speaker 1: God has a series, Amen, he literally in real time
- 11:30Speaker 1: tells me to do these series. Men. I don't really
- 11:34Speaker 1: have an agenda other than to read the word, share
- 11:37Speaker 1: the word right, and encourage you to read the Word
- 11:40Speaker 1: for yourself and apply the Word of God. And that's
- 11:42Speaker 1: how this Morning Devo has been going since creation of it. Amen.
- 11:48Speaker 1: It's the mind of Christ. Right. I have really no
- 11:52Speaker 1: other agenda other than for you to be blessed a
- 11:55Speaker 1: man by the word of God, and you to apply
- 11:57Speaker 1: to God. Because there's so many opinions out there, many
- 12:00Speaker 1: voices telling us, Oh there is no God, just do
- 12:02Speaker 1: what you can, can all you get, and get all
- 12:07Speaker 1: you can and all that stuff. I'm like, yeah, but
- 12:10Speaker 1: that's for selfish things. And you know, I was tired
- 12:16Speaker 1: of being selfish in life, right, tired of taking everything
- 12:19Speaker 1: that I learned and everything that I knew and just
- 12:21Speaker 1: hoard it for myself. So there got to be a
- 12:24Speaker 1: wave that I could spread this out, the message of
- 12:27Speaker 1: what God is doing in my life and the message
- 12:28Speaker 1: of so many people lives that I was doing in
- 12:32Speaker 1: their lives that I know personally, and people I just
- 12:34Speaker 1: see online that God is moving in their hearts and
- 12:37Speaker 1: minds and giving them territory that the enemy cannot take
- 12:41Speaker 1: from them. Hey, man, we have that power, we have
- 12:44Speaker 1: the ability, and when we united, the thing is man.
- 12:47Speaker 1: When a buy the crisis united in certain areas, right territories,
- 12:52Speaker 1: there's a light brightly shining upon those territories, and there's victory.
- 12:57Speaker 1: There's liberty, the freedom Why because the spirit of the
- 12:59Speaker 1: Lord is there burning DeVos on my way of sharing
- 13:04Speaker 1: my passion Amen of Christ to the audiences that people
- 13:09Speaker 1: who know me people don't know me. Amen. And I
- 13:12Speaker 1: know if you know me in real life, I don't
- 13:14Speaker 1: talk a lot. I don't say much, Amen. But if
- 13:17Speaker 1: you get me talking about the Lord Jesus, you're gonna
- 13:19Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I did the wrong thing. This guy
- 13:21Speaker 1: on you don't be quiet about the Lord, Amen, because
- 13:24Speaker 1: that's my focus, Man, Jesus, the Christ, the Lord on High. Amen.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Emmanuel can sell God. Bless you. Amen, brother key proclaiming
- 13:32Speaker 1: the word of God. Yes, iid will and you do
- 13:34Speaker 1: the same, my brother and my friend God bless you.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your comment. So let's go
- 13:39Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, let's go for it. Oops. Let me
- 13:42Speaker 1: cheer this real quick as I get the scream ready
- 13:46Speaker 1: For those who are just listening, no worries, no problems.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna read word for word out of what we're
- 13:51Speaker 1: seeing on the screen. Amen. So obviously, if you're listening
- 13:54Speaker 1: to audio only, which by the ways, is my favorite
- 13:57Speaker 1: way of listening to any podcast or any devotion or
- 14:00Speaker 1: the Word of God, even I like to listen to
- 14:03Speaker 1: it audibly, Amen, because I get pictures in my mind
- 14:06Speaker 1: that God paints, the word of God is painted in
- 14:09Speaker 1: my mindset, and I retain more information that way. Other
- 14:13Speaker 1: people retain information visually. Amen. I like to listen audio
- 14:19Speaker 1: to audio more than visual things. That's just me. Amen.
- 14:23Speaker 1: So let's go forward. Here we go. It goes and
- 14:28Speaker 1: I got this graphic hit me. I was like, yeah,
- 14:32Speaker 1: that's like, it makes sense. It's a bright light, a
- 14:35Speaker 1: light with the stems going into the brain our minds. Amen.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Whatever we put into our mind Amen, eventually will manifest
- 14:45Speaker 1: out of our mouth, and whatever we speak will eventually
- 14:48Speaker 1: manifest in the earthly realm. So God is spirit, right,
- 14:53Speaker 1: we know God's spirit and we have the spirit of
- 14:55Speaker 1: God living within us. So repeat what God says through
- 14:58Speaker 1: holygo spirit man, and watch what happens. Your mindset will change.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Your mindset will change. Amen. God is He's so trustworthy
- 15:08Speaker 1: with his people, And would you trust God? Roman chapter eight,
- 15:12Speaker 1: verses five to eight. The Bible says, those who are
- 15:15Speaker 1: dominated by the simple nature think about simful things, right.
- 15:20Speaker 1: It's it's obvious, man. God is not holding back punches.
- 15:24Speaker 1: He's telling us why we do what we do or
- 15:28Speaker 1: we did what we did before Christ changed our heart changed,
- 15:31Speaker 1: our mind changed that by attitude changed that behavior. Amen,
- 15:35Speaker 1: now we're not in the darkness no more. We're in
- 15:37Speaker 1: His marvelous light. But before that happened, those who are
- 15:41Speaker 1: dominated by the simful nature think about simful things, But
- 15:46Speaker 1: those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about
- 15:51Speaker 1: things that please the Spirit. Right makes sense. I know
- 15:56Speaker 1: this makes sense to anyone that's listening. If you think
- 15:59Speaker 1: about simp nature things, you're gonna be living in sinful
- 16:03Speaker 1: nature things. But if you're a controller, you allow Holy
- 16:06Speaker 1: Spirit God to live life through us through you, you're
- 16:11Speaker 1: gonna be thinking about the things that please Holy Spirit.
- 16:16Speaker 1: So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death,
- 16:21Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, But letting the Spirit control your mind
- 16:25Speaker 1: leads to life and peace. About that, you get a bonus.
- 16:30Speaker 1: You have life and peace. Who wouldn't want peace in
- 16:33Speaker 1: their life? Who wants death? There are many people are
- 16:37Speaker 1: struggling right now in their mind right because the mental
- 16:40Speaker 1: issues and spiritual things that are not being dealt with
- 16:44Speaker 1: according to the Word of God. And they're living in
- 16:46Speaker 1: darkness and they have pain and they don't have any peace.
- 16:50Speaker 1: These are the people that are on my mind. I
- 16:52Speaker 1: pray for them daily. Because I used to be that
- 16:54Speaker 1: person without the spirit of God living within me, or
- 16:58Speaker 1: there's sinful nature is always hostile to God. Not one
- 17:05Speaker 1: day that our flesh, our sinful nature, own evil desires,
- 17:09Speaker 1: is not worrying against the Spirit of God. Not one
- 17:11Speaker 1: day every day put on the armor of God. Yeah,
- 17:15Speaker 1: this is the spiritual war going on. And a lot of
- 17:17Speaker 1: people think it's the spirits outside of us, but actually
- 17:20Speaker 1: our flesh is at war with the spirit of God.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Everything that we know to be good comes from God.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Everything that we know to be bad comes from our sinful,
- 17:29Speaker 1: evil desires, falling nature, the falling Man, all of that.
- 17:32Speaker 1: But we're not old people anymore. In other words, we
- 17:36Speaker 1: don't live the old way of life. We live in
- 17:38Speaker 1: the newness of Christ. He gets all the glory on
- 17:41Speaker 1: the worship praise. We don't live in the old situations anymore.
- 17:46Speaker 1: We live in the newness of Christ. So don't live
- 17:48Speaker 1: the old self, live in the new self. For the
- 17:52Speaker 1: sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did
- 17:55Speaker 1: obey God's laws and it never will. So if you're
- 18:01Speaker 1: my goodness, Lord, you're gonna take me back to the law.
- 18:05Speaker 1: If you're trying to fulfill the law of Moses. Amen,
- 18:09Speaker 1: you're never going to get it right. You're always if
- 18:14Speaker 1: you're running by the flesh and trying to follow Lord.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Your sinful nature cannot obey God's laws. It never will
- 18:26Speaker 1: obey God's laws anyway, Thank you Jesus that we're not
- 18:31Speaker 1: under the law of Moses any longer. The law is
- 18:35Speaker 1: still alive, but we are dead to the law of
- 18:37Speaker 1: sin and death. That's why those who are still under
- 18:41Speaker 1: the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
- 18:47Speaker 1: When God says never, that's a God word. You know,
- 18:50Speaker 1: sometimes when I would get upset at people, I said,
- 18:54Speaker 1: you're never going to change. I'm not in a place
- 18:57Speaker 1: of saying never. God that's his word never. Always. Those
- 19:02Speaker 1: are God words. I can't pronounce a never situation over
- 19:06Speaker 1: somebody else. I can't say somebody will always be the same,
- 19:10Speaker 1: or always be this and always be that. Never is
- 19:13Speaker 1: a God word. Always is a God word. And God
- 19:16Speaker 1: is saying here that that's why those who are still
- 19:19Speaker 1: under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
- 19:25Speaker 1: And what do you want to do as a believer.
- 19:27Speaker 1: We want to please the Lord. Amen. That's why we
- 19:29Speaker 1: need to change our mindset asat this is not something
- 19:33Speaker 1: that I'm going to tell you. Oh, don't worry about
- 19:35Speaker 1: it next week. You know, changing mind change your mindset
- 19:38Speaker 1: right now today. In Jesus name, I'm telling you he
- 19:42Speaker 1: knows what it's best for us. Change your mindset and
- 19:46Speaker 1: watch what happens. Start reading the Word of God, meditating
- 19:50Speaker 1: on the Word of God. You know, you can read
- 19:52Speaker 1: the Word of God from cover to cover uninspired, and
- 19:55Speaker 1: I get really much out of it. You'll start deciding, oh,
- 20:00Speaker 1: this is true, and that's not true, this is just
- 20:02Speaker 1: make believe that could not happen, and you start d
- 20:05Speaker 1: You'll try to start dissecting. They turn the Word of
- 20:09Speaker 1: God because you're not inspired by the Word of God.
- 20:11Speaker 1: In other words, if you don't have the spirit of
- 20:13Speaker 1: God to change your mindset. When you read spiritual word,
- 20:17Speaker 1: his word is spirit Amen. You want to understand it,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and it would be like a book to you, just
- 20:24Speaker 1: like a book that you read and you decide whether
- 20:27Speaker 1: or not it's true or not. When I was uninspired
- 20:30Speaker 1: reading the scriptures, Amen, I didn't understand it. I had,
- 20:34Speaker 1: you know, glimpses of things that I would read and
- 20:36Speaker 1: be like, oh, okay, that makes sense. But I didn't
- 20:39Speaker 1: understand it until God changed my life and mentally rescued me,
- 20:44Speaker 1: until he took me out of my dark place and
- 20:48Speaker 1: gave me light. Right then I started understanding his word
- 20:54Speaker 1: more and more and more. I don't know. I don't
- 20:56Speaker 1: understand all of his word. And people who say, oh,
- 20:59Speaker 1: I understand everything the Word says in the spirit, you do,
- 21:03Speaker 1: because we have Holy Spirit living in us. Who is
- 21:06Speaker 1: the Word of God right who understands exactly the word
- 21:09Speaker 1: of God? He is. He was sent by Jesus, the Lord,
- 21:12Speaker 1: the Christ, a man to be living in us through us.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And we could only be a Christian by Christ living
- 21:19Speaker 1: the Christian life through Us and the Spirit. Yes, but
- 21:23Speaker 1: in the natural right, our way of thinking is not
- 21:25Speaker 1: God's way of thinking. His ways are not our ways.
- 21:29Speaker 1: His thoughts are not like our thoughts. That's why we
- 21:31Speaker 1: need to change our mindset. We have the mind of
- 21:33Speaker 1: Christ now, by the way, that's good news. You don't
- 21:36Speaker 1: have to think the old way that you used to
- 21:37Speaker 1: think if you're born again. But I don't understand everything
- 21:41Speaker 1: in the scriptures. What about you? Amen? I don't understand
- 21:44Speaker 1: the Trinity. How could three persons be one in united
- 21:49Speaker 1: I don't understand it. But I believe it, and I
- 21:51Speaker 1: trust God's word, and I see to trying unity all
- 21:54Speaker 1: throughout the scriptures. Amen. So I'm not going to have
- 21:57Speaker 1: a debate about the Trinity. I'm not going to try
- 21:59Speaker 1: to oh is easy to understand and to explain. I'm
- 22:03Speaker 1: not going to be that person. But I am going
- 22:06Speaker 1: to change my mindset when it comes to carnal things,
- 22:08Speaker 1: simple nature thinking, the old way. I want to live
- 22:11Speaker 1: in the newness of Christ, not the old way of
- 22:13Speaker 1: this world. And the old Sam is gone pretty much.
- 22:18Speaker 1: He shows his face every now and then, but it's
- 22:21Speaker 1: only when I'm too hungry, or when I'm angry, when
- 22:24Speaker 1: I'm lonely, or when I'm tired. That's when the simpul
- 22:27Speaker 1: nature and my simful desires are as high as when
- 22:31Speaker 1: I'm not focused on the one who gives me all power,
- 22:35Speaker 1: all strength, all authority. Amen. When it comes to conquering
- 22:39Speaker 1: my old sinful desire and silful nature. You have the
- 22:43Speaker 1: same spirit that I have if you're born again, the
- 22:45Speaker 1: same spirit that rows Jesus from out of that grave.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And we have it. We have the resurrection power available
- 22:53Speaker 1: to us every day. You don't got to go to
- 22:54Speaker 1: a secret place in a secret room and try to
- 22:59Speaker 1: invoke or provote Holy Spirit God to move in your life.
- 23:02Speaker 1: We have Holy Spirit living inside of us on a
- 23:04Speaker 1: day today, every breath we take a man until the
- 23:07Speaker 1: last breath, Holy Spirit has been in every single one
- 23:11Speaker 1: of his children, of the children of God. So we
- 23:15Speaker 1: don't have to do anything outside of what God's calling
- 23:18Speaker 1: us to do. And that should be, you know, relief
- 23:21Speaker 1: to a lot of people who are putting themselves under
- 23:23Speaker 1: so much pressure to behave certain ways and to do
- 23:27Speaker 1: certain things, and to try to be perfect in their
- 23:31Speaker 1: speech and what they do on the pulpit off the pulpit,
- 23:35Speaker 1: and ministry and all that stuff. Now, that's way too
- 23:38Speaker 1: much pressure that I don't see where God tells us
- 23:41Speaker 1: to be so full of all that pressure. And when
- 23:44Speaker 1: you're under so much pressure, I don't know how you
- 23:46Speaker 1: can have the joy of the Lord or happiness or
- 23:48Speaker 1: live a blessed life. You'll be too concerned about you know.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I hope I don't offend this person. I hope I
- 23:54Speaker 1: said that right. I hope you know nobody saw that
- 23:57Speaker 1: when I made that mistake. And you'll be so occupy
- 24:00Speaker 1: with things of this world, you won't have the mindset
- 24:03Speaker 1: that we should have, and you won't be able to
- 24:05Speaker 1: change your mind You'll be focused on everything that you're
- 24:08Speaker 1: doing in your own life, and a lot of people
- 24:11Speaker 1: won't be able to get into your life. They won't
- 24:13Speaker 1: be able to hear from you because you're too focused
- 24:15Speaker 1: on yourself. That's why God wants us to change our mindset. Amen.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Those who live according to the simfl nature have their
- 24:24Speaker 1: minds set on what that nature desires. Right, So if
- 24:29Speaker 1: you have your mindset on the simful nature, you're gonna
- 24:31Speaker 1: be continuously battling with old sins. By the way, I
- 24:36Speaker 1: don't know if there's new sins. Are there any new
- 24:38Speaker 1: sins out there? Maybe in your life you'll be like, man,
- 24:42Speaker 1: I never thought I would do that. Maybe something that
- 24:45Speaker 1: comes up. But I think sin is so old that
- 24:48Speaker 1: there's nothing new. There's you know, such drugs, alcohol, violence.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Back when before I was saved, that was like a
- 24:57Speaker 1: normal way of living, I guess, but I was actually dying.
- 25:00Speaker 1: I wasn't living in sin. What about you? So sin
- 25:03Speaker 1: is so old, outdated, played out, and people like to
- 25:05Speaker 1: mock Christians to say, oh, you guys are going by
- 25:08Speaker 1: the ancient writings and ancient books outdated, irrelevant. Meanwhile, they're
- 25:13Speaker 1: struggling with the oldest things in the book in the Bible.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Sin right, the creation story, ReGenesis chapter one, Beautiful Genesis
- 25:22Speaker 1: Scepter two, Beautiful Genesis chapter three. Something happens. It didn't
- 25:26Speaker 1: take long for man to start messing up. And when
- 25:30Speaker 1: Adam and Eve fell and disobeyed God, I know, Eve
- 25:34Speaker 1: was deceived, and then Adam believed what Eve was deceived
- 25:38Speaker 1: of and took part of what that deception was having.
- 25:42Speaker 1: That's the fall of man, and that brought sin, death, sickness,
- 25:45Speaker 1: disease and all that. And because men fall, that created
- 25:49Speaker 1: a need for a redeemer, and that redeemer lives. His
- 25:51Speaker 1: name is the Lord Jesus Christ. So sin is old.
- 25:56Speaker 1: It was since creation when men fell. And I know
- 25:59Speaker 1: a lot people wanted debate. So if God knew that
- 26:02Speaker 1: they were going to fall, they was gonna sin, why
- 26:04Speaker 1: did they set them up in the garden and blah
- 26:06Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Listen, he gave mankind a choice. He
- 26:10Speaker 1: still gives us a choice. That's the love of God,
- 26:12Speaker 1: and the grace of God showed up right away. Instead
- 26:15Speaker 1: of him annihilating Adam and Eve, he just kicked him
- 26:18Speaker 1: out the garden. That's showing grace. And they lived for
- 26:21Speaker 1: a long time after they got kicked out of the garden.
- 26:25Speaker 1: So that's grace right there from God. But those who
- 26:30Speaker 1: live in accordance with the spirit have their minds set
- 26:34Speaker 1: on what the spirit desires. I know, people, man, when
- 26:38Speaker 1: they call you up, I have a brother, Robert Battle.
- 26:40Speaker 1: He calls you up. Man, you leave out of that
- 26:42Speaker 1: conversation when you hang up the phone full of the
- 26:45Speaker 1: Holy Ghost. Amen. He doesn't let you be in any
- 26:49Speaker 1: kind of slump, slumber or sleep. Amen. He encourages, he
- 26:53Speaker 1: speaks word. Amen, he lifts your spirit up. A man,
- 26:57Speaker 1: he announces Holy Spirit God, he prays over the man
- 27:01Speaker 1: is filled with the spirit. Why because the old evil,
- 27:04Speaker 1: sinful desires. He figured it out. And man, we're not
- 27:06Speaker 1: gonna live that way no more. It doesn't benefit anyone
- 27:11Speaker 1: right living that way. And the Bible says clearly that
- 27:14Speaker 1: those things do not please God. It says the sinful
- 27:19Speaker 1: mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to
- 27:24Speaker 1: God's law, nor can it do. So those controlled by
- 27:29Speaker 1: the sinful nature cannot please God. So the opposite applies
- 27:35Speaker 1: those who are controlled by holy spirit. God, and you
- 27:38Speaker 1: have the divine nature Amen of Christ. We will be
- 27:43Speaker 1: pleasing the Lord. Why because then we're allowing God to
- 27:46Speaker 1: move in our hearts and our minds. Our minds are
- 27:50Speaker 1: focused on spiritual things. In other words, what God's desires
- 27:54Speaker 1: are become our desires Amen. And we're focused on God's
- 27:58Speaker 1: desires in a lot of and working through our lives.
- 28:01Speaker 1: It will help so many people, including you. So I
- 28:04Speaker 1: hope you get what I'm saying. I hope you get
- 28:06Speaker 1: this mindset of Christ's Amen. And I hope you go
- 28:09Speaker 1: to the Romans chapter eight week, the whole chapter for
- 28:11Speaker 1: yourself amount of time. But thank you so much for
- 28:14Speaker 1: hanging out with me today in the morning Devo. So
- 28:16Speaker 1: I want to send you off with a blessing. God.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Bless you all, God keep you all, and remember always
- 28:22Speaker 1: that God is Good. Peace.
