- 3:00Speaker 1: real quick and my statement that I made because these
- 3:05Speaker 1: are the things that we should know as believers. Your
- 3:08Speaker 1: hardship may place you among people who need your testimony.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So when I'm going through something, that might be God
- 3:18Speaker 1: positioning me in front of people who need to hear
- 3:21Speaker 1: my testimony. The same with you, So your hardship may
- 3:24Speaker 1: place you among people who need your testimony. Right when
- 3:28Speaker 1: you're in the hospital, a man the hospital staff needs
- 3:32Speaker 1: to hear a word going coming from you, a man
- 3:36Speaker 1: coming from Holy Spirit and resonating into the hospital staff,
- 3:41Speaker 1: co workers, right, neighbors. Online connections like I try to
- 3:47Speaker 1: do often an online where so many people are so
- 3:51Speaker 1: many eyes are online. So many people on social media,
- 3:55Speaker 1: so many people go to the website, so many people
- 3:57Speaker 1: here and listen to the music, online connections, or even
- 4:03Speaker 1: family members who rarely hear about your faith and my faith.
- 4:08Speaker 1: There's family members that rarely hear about what we believe
- 4:12Speaker 1: in a man and who we believe and who we trust.
- 4:14Speaker 1: We would be the Acts, Chapter number twenty eight, verses
- 4:18Speaker 1: thirty to thirty one. Acts twenty eight, thirty to thirty one.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So we're live today and we're going forward and moving forward.

- 6:54Speaker 1: into the mission field on today's Morning Devo Authentic Invitationology,
- 7:00Speaker 1: Episode one hundred and twenty five. I'll be right back, man, Amen,
- 8:21Speaker 1: welcome back. Let's go for it. I see some people
- 8:23Speaker 1: here and sister Nilsa, God bless you, Welcome back to
- 8:26Speaker 1: the morning Devo, my sister, my friend, brother Frank, God
- 8:29Speaker 1: bless you. Amen. Morning, Brother Sam bless you and your

- 8:36Speaker 1: are really cherished by you, my bro God bless you.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Devot. Amen. So listen, let's
- 8:42Speaker 1: go for it. Let's get into this word. Amen. It's
- 8:47Speaker 1: a little time to do it, but Amen, we could
- 8:49Speaker 1: get it done. I try to get straight to the
- 8:51Speaker 1: point on these Morning DeVos in a short amount of time,
- 8:54Speaker 1: so that way we could get to the point together, Amen,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and we could really focus and use what God is
- 9:01Speaker 1: teaching and applied in real time in our lives. Amen.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That's the whole exciting part of reading the Word of God.
- 9:09Speaker 1: That the Word of God is alive, the Word of
- 9:11Speaker 1: God is active, and when we activate our faith because
- 9:15Speaker 1: of the Word of God, things happen in your life differently.
- 9:19Speaker 1: It's not the same same own the Kingdom of God.
- 9:21Speaker 1: There's never a dull moment in the Kingdom of God.
- 9:24Speaker 1: There's never a boring moment in the Kingdom of God.
- 9:26Speaker 1: If you're on the mission field or in the mission field, Amen,
- 9:29Speaker 1: you know that it's exciting, exhilarating. Amen. You should be
- 9:33Speaker 1: ready for the purpose of God to move through you
- 9:37Speaker 1: and in you, and not because of what we're doing. Amen.
- 9:40Speaker 1: That makes the total difference. It's what happens, what happens
- 9:44Speaker 1: when we allow Holy Spirit working through us, Amen, to
- 9:47Speaker 1: do his work on the mission field. Amen. So let's
- 9:52Speaker 1: go forward. Let's put this on the screen for those
- 9:54Speaker 1: who are just listening. No worries, no problem. We're going
- 9:57Speaker 1: to read this word for word for everybody to be
- 9:59Speaker 1: on the same page. Literally, Amen, So authentic inventationlogy. I
- 10:03Speaker 1: try to do these every Friday, five thirty am Eastern
- 10:06Speaker 1: Standard time. This one's called mission field. Acts, Chapter twenty eight,
- 10:10Speaker 1: verses thirty to thirty one. And Paul the Apostle lived
- 10:14Speaker 1: there for two full years at his own expense, in
- 10:19Speaker 1: his own rented lodging, and welcomed all came to him,
- 10:25Speaker 1: preaching and proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about
- 10:32Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness and boldness, unhindered
- 10:38Speaker 1: and unrestrained. Amen. So if you look this up, if
- 10:41Speaker 1: you go to Acts twenty eight, you to know why
- 10:44Speaker 1: Paul is in this position, Amen, in this place, in
- 10:50Speaker 1: his rented home, where he was lodging at a man
- 10:54Speaker 1: at that time. Is not what you probably thought. Amen.
- 10:57Speaker 1: If you look it up for yourself, you'll notice that
- 11:00Speaker 1: he was there. Amen. I don't know if This is
- 11:04Speaker 1: when he was in house arrest. Because Paul was imprisoned,
- 11:07Speaker 1: Paul was being shipwrecked. Paul was told to stop preaching
- 11:12Speaker 1: from the government of his time. Amen. But he kept
- 11:15Speaker 1: on on mission. He kept on focusing on the purpose
- 11:19Speaker 1: of what God had for him. Amen. He kept on
- 11:21Speaker 1: preaching the Gospel. He kept on moving forward in mission
- 11:25Speaker 1: on mission, on the mission field. Amen. And he never wavered.
- 11:30Speaker 1: He never turned back and said, you know what, this
- 11:32Speaker 1: is too much, I'm out of here. He kept on
- 11:34Speaker 1: moving forward in victorious ways. Amen. And God used them tremendously.
- 11:39Speaker 1: So if God used the apostle Paul, why wouldn't he
- 11:42Speaker 1: want to use you or me? God has a way
- 11:45Speaker 1: of using the people that people other people think are nothing.
- 11:50Speaker 1: They think that we're you know, under how you call it, underprivileged,
- 11:58Speaker 1: not educated, or we're not there, we don't fit the mold. Amen.
- 12:02Speaker 1: And God still uses people. As a matter of fact,
- 12:04Speaker 1: that Bible says, God uses the people that you will
- 12:09Speaker 1: never think he could use to confound the wise. Amen.
- 12:13Speaker 1: So He'll use the foolish things of the world to
- 12:17Speaker 1: baffle the wives of the world. Amen, And say, how
- 12:20Speaker 1: do they do that? How could those people really make
- 12:23Speaker 1: a difference that they're making. How could those Christians, those
- 12:26Speaker 1: born again believers really make that type of difference in
- 12:29Speaker 1: their communities. Because Holy Spirit is the hope of glory.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is the hope of this world. And Holy
- 12:36Speaker 1: Spirit lives within every single one of his children of God,
- 12:40Speaker 1: of the children of God, a man of his children.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Good Morning's is developments. I see you, Good morning, God,
- 12:44Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome back to the morning. Even with my
- 12:46Speaker 1: sister and my friend. So we are on mission. We
- 12:49Speaker 1: are in the mission field. We do what we do
- 12:52Speaker 1: because we are empowered to do what we do. Amen,
- 12:54Speaker 1: there's no mistakes. And what God is doing in your
- 12:57Speaker 1: life and in my life, he doesn't make any mistakes.
- 13:00Speaker 1: He's always doing things on purpose for purpose, because he
- 13:03Speaker 1: has a perfect plan Amen for us. So Paul was
- 13:08Speaker 1: in prison, a man, Paul was bound, Paul was shipwrecked,
- 13:12Speaker 1: Paul was on house arrest, and God used apostles Paul's situation.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Although it might seem like crazy, his life a man,
- 13:22Speaker 1: God used that for purpose. He was one of the
- 13:26Speaker 1: most effective traveling preachers in the early Church. The apostle
- 13:30Speaker 1: Paul Amen thirteen letters to the Church. Right and you
- 13:33Speaker 1: see all that God did through the Apostle Paul being
- 13:37Speaker 1: thrown into prison, it could have meant disaster. I know
- 13:42Speaker 1: it would be disaster for a lot of us. But
- 13:44Speaker 1: when he was thrown into prison, something that could have
- 13:46Speaker 1: been a disaster a man turned out to be something
- 13:50Speaker 1: for the Gospel to be advanced. Amen. Right. Instead, God
- 13:55Speaker 1: used God used his imprisonment. God used his trials. God
- 14:01Speaker 1: used his struggles to do what to give access to
- 14:05Speaker 1: others to the Gospel message. Giving access to the guards
- 14:09Speaker 1: who were in that prison a man. God used that
- 14:13Speaker 1: opportunity to preach the gospel officials that he came across,
- 14:18Speaker 1: the people who judged them, the officials of his time
- 14:21Speaker 1: a man were given access to the mission of Apostle Paul,
- 14:26Speaker 1: and that means they were given the gospel as well.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Prisoners who were also in that prison were given access
- 14:34Speaker 1: to the Gospel message because God used the Apostle Paul
- 14:37Speaker 1: in his situation and his trial a man to spread
- 14:41Speaker 1: and advance the Kingdom message. Right, So, these people think
- 14:47Speaker 1: about it, would have never met Paul. Otherwise, the people
- 14:51Speaker 1: in the prison would not have never met Apostle Paul.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Unless Apostle Paul was put in prison or allowed to
- 14:58Speaker 1: be put in prison by the Lord. So what is
- 15:00Speaker 1: it that God's allowing in your life and in my
- 15:02Speaker 1: life so other people will get access to the gospel message.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Like I said, God don't make mistakes. You could be
- 15:10Speaker 1: in an elevator and the elevator gets stuck, and you
- 15:12Speaker 1: might be in the elevator with someone or some people
- 15:16Speaker 1: who you would never have met in your whole entire
- 15:18Speaker 1: life unless that elevator got stuck. Amen. About one in
- 15:24Speaker 1: the hospital and you're going through sickness or you're visiting
- 15:27Speaker 1: someone in the hospital. Now you have access to the
- 15:29Speaker 1: hospital staff, the doctors and nurses, anybody that's in there,
- 15:34Speaker 1: the people who clean the hospital. They will have never
- 15:36Speaker 1: met you unless you were in that hospital a man
- 15:40Speaker 1: praying for someone, or being there as a patient or
- 15:43Speaker 1: just visiting someone. Amen, you will have never met those people.
- 15:48Speaker 1: And God has a way of uniting people together divine appointments.
- 15:53Speaker 1: I don't believe in coincidences. I don't believe in superstition,
- 15:57Speaker 1: none of that. I believe that God has every single
- 15:59Speaker 1: one of our days aligned according to His purpose and
- 16:02Speaker 1: plan for somebody else to hear the gospel message, somebody
- 16:07Speaker 1: else to hear your testimony, somebody else to feel the
- 16:10Speaker 1: love of God that's in us Holy Spirit. God, Amen,
- 16:15Speaker 1: So give Paul access, Amen, just like we can give
- 16:21Speaker 1: people access to our lives. The Apostle Paul was given
- 16:26Speaker 1: the mission field of wherever he was his assignment. Amen,
- 16:31Speaker 1: whether it's trial, whether it's sickness. Remember he was he
- 16:36Speaker 1: had something going on in his body that we don't
- 16:38Speaker 1: quite know, but he had prayed about it. And God says, no,
- 16:43Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that right there. It's good. My grace
- 16:46Speaker 1: is sufficient. My grace is good enough for you. Just
- 16:49Speaker 1: keep on going. Amen. And God used Apostle Paul in
- 16:53Speaker 1: all different ways, and God can use you in many
- 16:56Speaker 1: different ways as well. What the enemy meant for Eve,
- 17:00Speaker 1: God turned around for good his good. Amen. That's my
- 17:03Speaker 1: wife Heni Lopez on the comment, Thank you for that comment,
- 17:06Speaker 1: Babe man. Well, good morning, God, bless you, my bro. Amen.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Good to see you on the morning. Deval. The Ministry
- 17:11Speaker 1: of Reconciliation, we are all ministers. As soon as we
- 17:15Speaker 1: receive the Lord Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior,
- 17:17Speaker 1: we became ministers ordained by God, Ministers of reconciliation. Reading
- 17:23Speaker 1: in the scriptures. You'll find that you are a minister
- 17:25Speaker 1: of reconciliation as soon as you're born again. Amen, Velvet
- 17:29Speaker 1: God bless you, Yes, Sister Uni Lopez. So we have
- 17:33Speaker 1: agreement here in this power, and agreement inspire other believers
- 17:37Speaker 1: to preach boldly. Just because I come here online doesn't
- 17:40Speaker 1: mean that it's a special thing. What makes this special
- 17:45Speaker 1: is the Word of God a man that we're looking at,
- 17:48Speaker 1: that we're devoting time, and that we're applying, that we're
- 17:51Speaker 1: learning together. Amen. And we should supposed to be growing
- 17:54Speaker 1: in the faith and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 17:57Speaker 1: So this should aspire others to pre boldly, to speak
- 18:01Speaker 1: the gospel, to preach the gospel, to make disciples to
- 18:04Speaker 1: go and be on the mission field. Amen. If Apostle
- 18:08Speaker 1: Paul Amen stood strong all throughout his ministry and he
- 18:12Speaker 1: was put in jail, and he was beaten, and he
- 18:14Speaker 1: was doing all that, why can't God use us to
- 18:18Speaker 1: do that? Amen? Like I don't think anybody is raising
- 18:21Speaker 1: their hand to be put in prison. I don't think
- 18:23Speaker 1: anybody raised their hands to be falsely accused. I don't
- 18:26Speaker 1: think anybody raises their hand to get a sickness or disease.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I don't think anybody raises their hand to have trials
- 18:31Speaker 1: and tribulations. But what we're raising our hand is to
- 18:34Speaker 1: surrender to the Lord and ask God, okay, well, what
- 18:37Speaker 1: do you want me to do through this? Amen? For
- 18:39Speaker 1: the Kingdom's sake. Manuel says, all things are working for
- 18:43Speaker 1: our good. Yes. And he says we are justified by God. Absolutely.
- 18:48Speaker 1: God is our ultimate justice. Amen. God is who we're
- 18:52Speaker 1: believing and trusting to move forward in life. So produce
- 18:58Speaker 1: something in your life through the pain in your life. Amen,
- 19:03Speaker 1: God is producing something greater. God is bigger than our pain.
- 19:08Speaker 1: God knows our every single situation. God knows our thoughts,
- 19:12Speaker 1: he knows our hearts, he knows our minds. Amen. He
- 19:14Speaker 1: knows our lives, he knows our physical build Amen. He
- 19:17Speaker 1: knows when something is coming, and he will warn us.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And if we take hold and we're keen and we're communicating,
- 19:25Speaker 1: or we're allowing God through the Holy Spirit to communicate
- 19:28Speaker 1: with us and we're listening, Amen, we can move accordingly.
- 19:31Speaker 1: This world is broken, This world's tough. This world will
- 19:34Speaker 1: try to break you, This world will try to take
- 19:37Speaker 1: from you, this world will try to use you. Up.
- 19:39Speaker 1: God be you up and throw you out. But the
- 19:41Speaker 1: Kingdom of God we operate differently. We're kingdom builders. We're
- 19:44Speaker 1: kingdom minders. Amen. We're kingdom minded. We're are kingdom people. Amen.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Although we cannot humanly build the Kingdom of God, we
- 19:53Speaker 1: could advance the kingdom message by way of the Gospel. Amen,
- 19:58Speaker 1: by way of just being there. Sometimes you all have
- 20:01Speaker 1: to do is show up. Sometimes all you have to
- 20:03Speaker 1: do is show up and be willing to engage in
- 20:07Speaker 1: somebody else's suffering, help somebody out when they're in need. Amen.
- 20:11Speaker 1: So you show up, you become like a rescuer. We
- 20:14Speaker 1: can't change hearts, we can't change minds. But through the
- 20:17Speaker 1: Holy Spirit a man. When we show up with the
- 20:20Speaker 1: glory and love of God a man, things happen and
- 20:23Speaker 1: the other person, the other people of the family will
- 20:26Speaker 1: feel that love, and they will sense the God of
- 20:29Speaker 1: love in us. Amen, and they will probably want what
- 20:32Speaker 1: we have. And we have the hope of glory a man,
- 20:34Speaker 1: Holy Spirit rock eloheen, living inside of us. Manuel says
- 20:38Speaker 1: suffering comes with ministry. Yes, when I suffer, Amen, that
- 20:43Speaker 1: means someone is going to come and help my brother
- 20:47Speaker 1: and my sister in Christ. Is going to come and
- 20:48Speaker 1: help and help me through the suffering. Suffering is a ministry. Yes,
- 20:52Speaker 1: you're right, man well Amen. And when we are in
- 20:55Speaker 1: need of peace, a man God will send someone to
- 20:58Speaker 1: give us that peace, and vice versa. When we have
- 21:01Speaker 1: the peace and someone is suffering, will be the peace
- 21:04Speaker 1: for other people. So this is a body thing. This
- 21:07Speaker 1: is a kingdom thing. This is something that we could
- 21:09Speaker 1: work together on. Amen. Morning, Brother Ray God bless you man.
- 21:12Speaker 1: It's good to see you on the morning. Devo, my bro,
- 21:15Speaker 1: my friend. Amen, Brother jan good morning, God, bless you.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Blessings to everyone that's tuned in to Brother Wan says blessings.
- 21:22Speaker 1: We take those blessings and we're grateful for the blessings
- 21:25Speaker 1: that you give. My Bro's good to see you, Amen.
- 21:28Speaker 1: So let's reframe the situation when we're on the mission
- 21:34Speaker 1: field and it seems like the mission is getting real tough. Amen.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I'm a Mission impossible guy. I watch I'm started to
- 21:42Speaker 1: watch him from the beginning again just to catch the
- 21:45Speaker 1: things that I never caught before. And when I noticed
- 21:47Speaker 1: about Ethan Hunt, the guy that the main guy that
- 21:51Speaker 1: was really the lead of the team of the IMF
- 21:56Speaker 1: impossible mission for us, he was always worrying about the others.
- 22:01Speaker 1: He never wanted people to die, He never wanted people
- 22:05Speaker 1: to get hurt. Amen. And he would risk his own
- 22:08Speaker 1: life so that way others would be safe. Amen. So
- 22:13Speaker 1: how much more if that's a character in a movie,
- 22:16Speaker 1: if that was a position of the IMF and possible
- 22:20Speaker 1: mission for us, how much more does God doesn't want
- 22:23Speaker 1: anyone to perish or anyone to get hurt. He wants
- 22:27Speaker 1: his wish. The lawyer's wish is that none should perish,
- 22:30Speaker 1: but everyone have eternal life through him. Amen, that we
- 22:33Speaker 1: will all get saved. But we know this message is
- 22:36Speaker 1: considered hate to some people. Some people call this message
- 22:40Speaker 1: a hate speech. Some people call this fiction, like you know,
- 22:44Speaker 1: like make believe. Some people call this fantasy. Some people
- 22:47Speaker 1: call this wishful thinking. But if you know God, and
- 22:51Speaker 1: you know Holy Spirit living inside of you, and you
- 22:53Speaker 1: know what he took you out of, what he delivered
- 22:55Speaker 1: you from, you could go ahead and testify. Don't worry
- 22:57Speaker 1: about what other people think because they think of what
- 23:00Speaker 1: they're gonna think. It's not our ministry to convince people
- 23:04Speaker 1: that Jesus is God, or that God is real, or
- 23:07Speaker 1: that we could trust in the Scriptures. It's the ministry
- 23:10Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit to do the convicting of their sin,
- 23:14Speaker 1: of our sin, and the convincing of who He is.
- 23:16Speaker 1: So that way we could willingly go to the Lord
- 23:19Speaker 1: and ask him for forgiveness and be forgiven and be transformed, renewed, restored,
- 23:24Speaker 1: and redeemed all at once. Amen, as we grow in
- 23:28Speaker 1: the knowledge and faith of our Lord Jesus. Amen, So
- 23:32Speaker 1: reframe the situation. Let's ask ask the Lord how this
- 23:38Speaker 1: mission that we're on, How this pain that we're going through,
- 23:41Speaker 1: How this trial that we're going through? How can this
- 23:44Speaker 1: advance His mission? You ever thought about that? Okay, Lord,
- 23:49Speaker 1: what do you want me to do for you? Now?
- 23:51Speaker 1: Because God is always doing things for us? Right, have
- 23:54Speaker 1: you ever stopped and ask God, what do you want
- 23:56Speaker 1: me to do for you? That's a reframing, that's a thinking,
- 24:00Speaker 1: that's a renewing of the mind. That's kingdom mindsets. Amen,
- 24:05Speaker 1: that when we're going through something, I know, I do
- 24:08Speaker 1: the same thing I ask God, Okay, God, this is
- 24:10Speaker 1: too much? Can you help me? Can you do X
- 24:13Speaker 1: y Z in my life? Can you know? Can you
- 24:15Speaker 1: give me a financial breakthrough, a breakthrough my health, a
- 24:18Speaker 1: breakthrough in my children's health, Can you save my whole family?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Like I'm always asking God to do something right, But
- 24:24Speaker 1: have you ever stopped to refrain your way of thinking
- 24:28Speaker 1: and ask God, what would you want me to do
- 24:31Speaker 1: for you? Lord? Even in my situation that I'm facing
- 24:34Speaker 1: right now, right instead of why is this happening to me?
- 24:38Speaker 1: And we all do it? You know what I mean? Like? Why?
- 24:42Speaker 1: That why question comes up when we're going through something
- 24:44Speaker 1: painful that we feel powerless. As a dad, I've seen
- 24:48Speaker 1: my children pass away, one of them passing away my arms,
- 24:52Speaker 1: and I felt powerless. I didn't know you know why
- 24:55Speaker 1: this was happening. So you go ahead and you ask
- 24:57Speaker 1: God why, because you know, deep out of side, he's
- 25:00Speaker 1: the only one who has the answer to that wide question.
- 25:03Speaker 1: But when you see past that, Amen, when God takes
- 25:07Speaker 1: you through that, you sense his presence, his love, his grace,
- 25:11Speaker 1: his mercy, his forgiveness, his power. If you ever went
- 25:14Speaker 1: through something deep like that in your life and you're
- 25:17Speaker 1: still standing, that means God's mercy, God's grace is still
- 25:21Speaker 1: upon you, Amen, And He still has you and me
- 25:23Speaker 1: in the mission field. So this is a purpose behind
- 25:26Speaker 1: it all. I don't understand everything that God allows in
- 25:29Speaker 1: my life. You don't understand everything that God allows in
- 25:32Speaker 1: your life. But what we can trust in and we
- 25:35Speaker 1: can hope in, and we could truly believe, is His
- 25:38Speaker 1: word over our lives. Of our lives. He doesn't waste
- 25:42Speaker 1: our pain, doesn't waste anything, Amen, in our lives. He
- 25:45Speaker 1: moves us forward because He has the forward plan, He
- 25:48Speaker 1: has the main plan. He has the perfect plan for
- 25:51Speaker 1: our lives. Trust God, Move, Go ahead and move. Trust God. Move.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Take the step of faith in the direction that he
- 25:58Speaker 1: wants you to go through. Amen. He wants you to
- 26:00Speaker 1: go through those doors that are really open for us.
- 26:03Speaker 1: All we have to do is forward, Amen, preach. I'm
- 26:07Speaker 1: preaching to myself. Trust me. So look for new people
- 26:14Speaker 1: to share your hardships with. Don't go to that person
- 26:17Speaker 1: who's always down cast and always frustrated and always telling you, ah, man,
- 26:22Speaker 1: this life is it sucks, and this that and the third.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Be careful with those people. And there are like energy vampires.
- 26:29Speaker 1: There are people who who try to snatch your joy
- 26:32Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Just continue to reach through and
- 26:37Speaker 1: preach to the people around you. Amen, and con continue
- 26:41Speaker 1: even in your hardships. That's gonna make you ah put
- 26:46Speaker 1: you in a place among people who you probably would
- 26:49Speaker 1: have never met in your life when you're going through
- 26:52Speaker 1: some things like that. So look at the long term
- 26:54Speaker 1: fruit you. We won't realize the impact now of what
- 26:58Speaker 1: what you're going through and what you're going to do
- 27:00Speaker 1: to be positioned to do, but years later, days later,
- 27:03Speaker 1: months later, your endurance might be the reason someone comes
- 27:07Speaker 1: to the Lord Jesus because you're on the mission and
- 27:10Speaker 1: you're on in the mission field. Amen. So I hope
- 27:13Speaker 1: this encourages somebody take the word of God. Amen, and
- 27:17Speaker 1: go ahead and read it. We were in Acts chapter
- 27:20Speaker 1: twenty eight, verses thirty to thirty one. Go ahead and
- 27:22Speaker 1: read the whole chapter of Acts chapter twenty eight, so
- 27:26Speaker 1: you could get a more better idea of what happened
- 27:30Speaker 1: with the apostle and what he was doing and what
- 27:32Speaker 1: he was going through. Amen. And he kept on moving.
- 27:35Speaker 1: That's the whole purpose. When you're on the mission field,
- 27:37Speaker 1: you keep on moving, and you rely on the Lord
- 27:40Speaker 1: to guide and guard you and protect you and always,
- 27:43Speaker 1: and you will advance the Kingdom of God and the
- 27:45Speaker 1: message of the Gospel, which is the good News of
- 27:47Speaker 1: the Lord. Man Well says some of the things we
- 27:50Speaker 1: deal with in our lives. We cause, but makes a
- 27:54Speaker 1: way of escape from it. Yes, a lot of times
- 27:56Speaker 1: we get in our own way and God gives us
- 27:59Speaker 1: away escape of our own way. Amen. Thank you man
- 28:03Speaker 1: well for that comment. Trust God more than you trust
- 28:06Speaker 1: the process. Yes, the process is always there, but God
- 28:09Speaker 1: is always there as well. So I'd rather trust God
- 28:12Speaker 1: through the process than trust the process before God. Amen.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Thank you to my beautiful wife for that comment. And
- 28:19Speaker 1: Sister Joys good morning. God bless you. Blessings to your
- 28:22Speaker 1: family as well. Amen, and to the group. She sends
- 28:25Speaker 1: blessings to the group. Thank you, my sister, my friend.
- 28:27Speaker 1: But I gotta go. I'm out of time. Thank you
- 28:29Speaker 1: so much for all those people who can make it,
- 28:32Speaker 1: and you can just be wind to take This becomes
- 28:34Speaker 1: a replayed as soon as I get off the live. Amen.
- 28:36Speaker 1: So God bless you all. God keep you all, and
