- 0:50Speaker 1: I got here by mistake. There's no mistakes. God has
- 0:53Speaker 1: a divine purpose of divine appointment with you right now.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I believe that one hundred percent. God doesn't waste our time.
- 1:00Speaker 1: God doesn't trouble us and force us to spend time
- 1:04Speaker 1: with him. But when He has you in his area,
- 1:08Speaker 1: it gives you. When you give him your attention. Amen,
- 1:12Speaker 1: You're gonna be blessed for it tremendously. So when we
- 1:15Speaker 1: read his word, we are reading the mind of God.
- 1:18Speaker 1: When we apply his word, we are functioning like Christ. Amen,
- 1:21Speaker 1: because Christ is the living Word. So we win win win,
- 1:25Speaker 1: You win, win win. Every time you develop a habit,

- 1:31Speaker 1: of God first thing during the day.
- 1:33Speaker 2: So God bless you. You're gonna be blessed. Amen.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Today we're talking about something very close. It's called heartaches
- 1:39Speaker 1: and pains. It always reminds me of a verse from
- 1:43Speaker 1: one of the Wu Tang songs believing or that to
- 1:46Speaker 1: learn to overcome the heartaches and pain. I always say
- 1:49Speaker 1: pain because it's a scratched there. It's an amazing thing
- 1:54Speaker 1: when we go through heartaches and pain. It's an amazing
- 1:57Speaker 1: thing that happens. It's an extrame that happens. Amen, are
- 2:02Speaker 1: normal is not normal no more. And we go through
- 2:04Speaker 1: all kinds of issues and all kinds of pains and heartaches,
- 2:08Speaker 1: and when we are hurting, God can use that hurt
- 2:14Speaker 1: and the comfort He gives us to help others who
- 2:17Speaker 1: are hurting. So I know you heard the saying the phrase,
- 2:22Speaker 1: hurt people. Hurt people, But that's what the world says.
- 2:27Speaker 1: God is saying he can use that hurt and then
- 2:31Speaker 1: the comfort that he gives us, we can use that
- 2:35Speaker 1: comfort to help others. So hurt people in the Kingdom
- 2:38Speaker 1: of God, right, use that hurt, heartache and pain to
- 2:43Speaker 1: go help someone else because we're being comforted, and when
- 2:46Speaker 1: we're being comforted, we can comfort someone else that's going
- 2:49Speaker 1: through pain. When I got back, me and my wife
- 2:52Speaker 1: went away for the weekend marriage. You treat Amen, Glory
- 2:56Speaker 1: to God, Praise the Lord for those couples that refer
- 2:59Speaker 1: to to go.
- 3:00Speaker 2: We needed it.
- 3:02Speaker 1: And we come back and find out that a brother
- 3:04Speaker 1: in Christ their mom, his mom went to be with
- 3:08Speaker 1: the Lord. So that's a heartache and that's a pain, Amen.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And I know what it is to lose a loved one.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I know what it is, Amen. I just still know
- 3:16Speaker 2: what it is.
- 3:17Speaker 1: To lose a mom at this point of this recording,
- 3:20Speaker 1: at this time, my mom is still here on earth.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So I know that's a heartache and that's a pain,
- 3:24Speaker 1: and I think about that often. So we just you know,
- 3:31Speaker 1: are praying for the family. I'm not going to mention
- 3:33Speaker 1: the name because I don't have his permission, but we're
- 3:36Speaker 1: praying for the family.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Heartaches and pain are.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Really something that we all got to go through one
- 3:43Speaker 1: way or another, and so we're going to be the

- 5:00Speaker 1: those sixty seconds. We'll get right into today's topic, heartaches
- 5:04Speaker 1: and pain. Second Corinthians, chapter number one, Verses three and four. Father,
- 5:09Speaker 1: thank you so much that even when we go through
- 5:11Speaker 1: heartas and pain, you're with us. You don't leave us,
- 5:14Speaker 1: you don't abandon us, you don't put us to shame.
- 5:17Speaker 1: You don't tell us. You told us so for when
- 5:20Speaker 1: we go through hearts and pain. Yet you are comforter
- 5:24Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit. You are a counselor by
- 5:26Speaker 1: way of Holy Spirit. You are a teacher by way
- 5:28Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. You are just everything good in our
- 5:32Speaker 1: lives comes from you, the Father of lights. Thank you,
- 5:35Speaker 1: Lo God for creating a space for us. Then, when
- 5:39Speaker 1: we do have heartas and pain, that you are with us,
- 5:42Speaker 1: comforting us, encouraging us, holding us up as we want
- 5:48Speaker 1: to fall sometimes to the ground and just lose it all.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Thank you for keeping us all together. Lord God, Thank
- 5:54Speaker 1: you for keeping our minds right throwing pain and heartaches and.
- 5:58Speaker 2: All that happens in this life.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Pray, Lord God, for my family and for all the
- 6:03Speaker 1: families represented on the other side of the screen and
- 6:06Speaker 1: on the other side of this might, that you would
- 6:07Speaker 1: guard God and protect us as we are preparing one
- 6:11Speaker 1: day to lose a loved one. That's what basically we
- 6:13Speaker 1: are preparing for. One day to the next is so uncertain.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But with you, we're certain that you are with us.
- 6:21Speaker 1: We're certain that you love us. We're certain that you
- 6:23Speaker 1: have grace over us. We're certain that you have mercy,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and you are almighty, holy, loving, righteous God, that we
- 6:31Speaker 1: can be certain of. But the uncertainty of life causes
- 6:34Speaker 1: us to come sometimes stray in our minds, and I
- 6:37Speaker 1: pray the Lord God you will help us keep our
- 6:39Speaker 1: minds right. In Jesus name, I pray I had your
- 6:43Speaker 1: protession over myself, my family, our children, our whole entire bloodlines,
- 6:48Speaker 1: my wife's side, my side, and Jesus' name, that you
- 6:52Speaker 1: continue God, God and protecting every single person on the
- 6:54Speaker 1: other side of the screen and on the other side
- 6:57Speaker 1: of mike represent their families, that you would do the same,
- 7:00Speaker 1: that you would set forth for your angels to annihilate
- 7:03Speaker 1: the tactics and plans of the enemies, and that you,
- 7:06Speaker 1: Lord God, will be victorious in our hearts and in
- 7:09Speaker 1: our minds, and we will walk victoriously because we're following
- 7:12Speaker 1: after you and Jesus Name. I pray it is by
- 7:14Speaker 1: faith and everyone who agrees and trusts in God, we
- 7:17Speaker 1: all say.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Amen and Amen.
- 7:19Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Help me out sixty seconds,
- 7:21Speaker 1: help me share this out. When we come back, we'll
- 7:24Speaker 1: get right into it. All write back, alright, let's go
- 8:59Speaker 1: for it. Let's go for it. Holy God is holy, righteous,
- 9:03Speaker 1: loving kind. Had a dream and I have to get
- 9:07Speaker 1: with man a guy that has to dream with I
- 9:11Speaker 1: don't dream a lot, so it must mean something. Hopefully, Amen,
- 9:16Speaker 1: this will help the brother that I have to dream with.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:20Speaker 1: When I share it to him with him hopefully, if
- 9:23Speaker 1: Lord willing, it will be something that makes sense to him,
- 9:25Speaker 1: because it didn't really make sense to me.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I'm just saying it so that way I remember it.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to say things. I take it before
- 9:33Speaker 1: you forget things right, and then you'll do things that
- 9:36Speaker 1: you say. A gift from God. Even when we're going
- 9:39Speaker 1: through heartaches and pain like we're gonna see today in
- 9:42Speaker 1: the scriptures. God is a present God. He's a holy God,
- 9:47Speaker 1: a loving.
- 9:47Speaker 2: God, a righteous God, just God. Amen. He will not
- 9:52Speaker 2: let us go and do this alone. He's with us.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He is with us. Amen.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Just remind yourself of that we're going to need that
- 10:02Speaker 1: we didn't need to know that He's with us during
- 10:05Speaker 1: these times. Put this on the screen, and where are
- 10:10Speaker 1: we there?
- 10:11Speaker 2: We go arctaches and pain.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Everyone's going to face some kind of heartache and pain
- 10:20Speaker 1: one day. Tewod Corinthians, chapter number one, verses three and four. Blessed,
- 10:26Speaker 1: gratefully praise and adored be the God and Father of
- 10:31Speaker 1: our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the
- 10:35Speaker 1: God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in
- 10:40Speaker 1: every trouble, so that we will be able to comfort
- 10:44Speaker 1: and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble
- 10:48Speaker 1: with a comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Right here proves to me. This scripture proves to me
- 10:56Speaker 1: that God doesn't waste any time. God doesn't use pain
- 11:02Speaker 1: to hurt us. He allows heartaches and pains to happen
- 11:06Speaker 1: for us to experience his comfort, his encouragement, his love
- 11:11Speaker 1: His grace through every trouble that we face.
- 11:13Speaker 2: God's with us.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So that way we could take the comfort that He
- 11:17Speaker 1: gives us and we could go ahead and bless somebody else.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Is an amazing act of selflessness, not selfishness, but selflessness.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Sister Joys, Good morning, God bless you. I bless you
- 11:31Speaker 1: today and always as well. Hey man, welcome back to
- 11:34Speaker 1: the morning. Devo brother reubend. God bless you, brol long
- 11:37Speaker 1: time no see. Blessings to you as well. So we're
- 11:40Speaker 1: blessed because we're blessing the God of heaven and earth.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Notice that God is worthy to be praised, The father
- 11:50Speaker 1: of our lord, Jesus Christ is worthy to be praised.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And I believe the one who gives us the comfort,
- 11:55Speaker 1: Holy Spirit.
- 11:55Speaker 2: God.
- 11:56Speaker 1: We see the Trinity right here is the one who's
- 11:58Speaker 1: doing the comforting. And he encourages those who are in
- 12:02Speaker 1: any kind of trouble, right, any kind of trouble, with
- 12:07Speaker 1: the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So God doesn't allow pain and heartaches to overcome us.
- 12:16Speaker 1: He allows us things to encourage us. He uses the
- 12:19Speaker 1: heartaches and pain to help us develop some wholly sanctified stamina.
- 12:25Speaker 1: That we can use to help others even through our pain,
- 12:30Speaker 1: even through our own struggles, even through our heartaches. God
- 12:33Speaker 1: is there, it says, the God of all comfort, who
- 12:36Speaker 1: comforts and encourages us in every trouble.
- 12:40Speaker 2: See that so that.
- 12:41Speaker 1: We will be able to comfort and encourage those who
- 12:45Speaker 1: are in any kind of trouble. So when we're any
- 12:48Speaker 1: trouble that we face, God will comfort and encourage us.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Then we take that encouragement and comfort and then we
- 12:55Speaker 1: help somebody else. It's not about us, It's about always
- 12:59Speaker 1: about somebody else. Is it easy to do to some
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yes to others?
- 13:04Speaker 2: Know right?
- 13:05Speaker 1: But the truth is that God is with us through
- 13:08Speaker 1: our heartaches and pain. That's the point I'm trying to
- 13:11Speaker 1: make today. I'm not a prophet, but I'm a prophet
- 13:15Speaker 1: when I read the word, Amen, and the word is
- 13:19Speaker 1: clear that we're gonna have troubles, We're gonna go through
- 13:23Speaker 1: heartaches and pains, We're gonna lose loved ones, and one
- 13:26Speaker 1: day our very own selves are going to go and
- 13:29Speaker 1: meet our Creator.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Amen. We are not here on the marriage to treat
- 13:33Speaker 2: we was on. Amen.
- 13:36Speaker 1: There was a lot of people, a lot of husbands,
- 13:39Speaker 1: realizing that time is short, right, And we were letting
- 13:43Speaker 1: our wives know, as long as we're here, we're gonna
- 13:45Speaker 1: be their help. As long as we're here, we're gonna
- 13:47Speaker 1: be their comfort. As long as we're here, we're gonna
- 13:49Speaker 1: be their provider.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Amen. As long as we're here. We don't know when
- 13:53Speaker 2: our time is up.
- 13:54Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we're gonna just develop a way
- 13:57Speaker 1: to help others, especially our own family. First, Amen, as
- 14:02Speaker 1: we honor God with everything we have, trust Him with
- 14:05Speaker 1: everything we have, Honor our family, honor our wives, right,
- 14:08Speaker 1: our children.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Amen.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And then go by helping others when we see other
- 14:12Speaker 1: people struggling, because we know we have a comforter and
- 14:15Speaker 1: He comforts us.
- 14:16Speaker 2: And that's to show the glory of God.
- 14:19Speaker 1: The one who is the hope of glory for this
- 14:21Speaker 1: whole entire world is the Lord Jesus, by way of
- 14:24Speaker 1: his Holy Spirit. We have a good Father, we have
- 14:26Speaker 1: a good son, we have a good holy spirit. They
- 14:29Speaker 1: all God, three and one good morning by the frank
- 14:32Speaker 1: Good morning. My brother Sam loved the Corinthians gratefully praised.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Halleluja.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Yes, love that corinthis Yeah. The apostle Paul is on
- 14:41Speaker 1: fire right, and he knew that he was being inspired,
- 14:45Speaker 1: he was being led by a holy spirit of God
- 14:48Speaker 1: to write down what he wrote. Must have been an
- 14:50Speaker 1: amazing experience for the Apostle to write down what he wrote.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't understand it's going to be eternal truth.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't understand, but what he did know about
- 15:01Speaker 1: personally was heartaches and pains because he suffered a lot
- 15:04Speaker 1: for the sake of the Gospel. I think I will
- 15:07Speaker 1: never have recognized any kind of suffering the way that
- 15:11Speaker 1: Apostle suffered through all that he went through. And so
- 15:15Speaker 1: I'm grateful that God allowed that man to share what
- 15:19Speaker 1: he shared, and that we read it thousands of years later,
- 15:23Speaker 1: right and it still holds true, and it still holds
- 15:25Speaker 1: weight in our lives today. It's an amazing thing. When
- 15:29Speaker 1: you read the Word of God, you see your life
- 15:31Speaker 1: as a mirror in the Word. And we're all going
- 15:34Speaker 1: to go through something. I can guarantee that I don't
- 15:37Speaker 1: have to be a prophet to say that we're all
- 15:39Speaker 1: going to go through heartache and pain.
- 15:42Speaker 2: It's inevitable.
- 15:43Speaker 1: It's going to happen, whether it's on the receiving end
- 15:46Speaker 1: or we're the ones that are causing the heartache and pain,
- 15:49Speaker 1: you know, when I got saved, and there was a
- 15:52Speaker 1: lot of heartache and pain. Amen, it's part of life. Yes,
- 15:57Speaker 1: it is, brother, It's on fire. It's part of life.
- 16:02Speaker 1: When I got saved, I knew that there was going
- 16:05Speaker 1: to be a change in my environment. The people around me.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Either they were going to accept what God did in
- 16:11Speaker 1: my life or they was gonna reject it, and it
- 16:13Speaker 1: was gonna be some kind of separation.
- 16:16Speaker 2: So I thought I had to do that.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I thought I had to approach people and say, listen,
- 16:20Speaker 1: I can't ride with you no more, I can't rock
- 16:22Speaker 1: with you no more, I can't be hanging out with
- 16:24Speaker 1: you no more, or something like that, that type of conversation.
- 16:27Speaker 1: And you know what, I didn't have to have none
- 16:29Speaker 1: of those conversations with any.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Of my friends. Call it my borroughs from back in
- 16:34Speaker 2: the day. God just did the separation himself. Amen.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Some people thought, oh, just fully yourself part of a religion.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Other people, you know, were congratulating me for getting out
- 16:46Speaker 1: of Dodge right, and other people were like, Okay, if
- 16:48Speaker 1: that's true for you, it's not true for me, you know,
- 16:51Speaker 1: but we respected.
- 16:52Speaker 2: You know, people took it all different ways.
- 16:54Speaker 1: But for me, that was hard a campaign hearing or
- 16:57Speaker 1: watching friends just walk away instead of embrace or really
- 17:02Speaker 1: get curious enough about what I was experiencing. They just
- 17:05Speaker 1: walked away. A lot of them walked away. Some of
- 17:07Speaker 1: them are still We're still in contact. We're still in touch,
- 17:10Speaker 1: Praise God. Right, some of my brothers from when I
- 17:13Speaker 1: was growing up, we're still in touch God, Praise God.
- 17:16Speaker 1: And the families are growing, and some of them believe.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Some of them are believers, others are not.
- 17:21Speaker 2: But we have.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Mutual respect for those who are still connected to the originals. Right,
- 17:26Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure you have those separate people in
- 17:28Speaker 1: your life as well. Right, grew up with certain people,
- 17:31Speaker 1: and as soon as God got a hold of your
- 17:33Speaker 1: heart and you started taking the Lord seriously and started
- 17:36Speaker 1: following the path of the righteous, I'm pretty sure a
- 17:39Speaker 1: lot of people broke ties with you. And you probably
- 17:42Speaker 1: didn't have to have a lot of discussions about why.
- 17:45Speaker 1: They just said, well, he's.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Going in that direction or she's going in that direction.
- 17:49Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go that way.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So see you and they leave, and what do we
- 17:54Speaker 1: do or what we should do is pray because we
- 17:57Speaker 1: know one day they're gonna go through a heart it's
- 17:58Speaker 1: in pain.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Are going to be the ones that.
- 18:01Speaker 1: They're gonna call because we're supposed to be representing the
- 18:04Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. We're supposed to be the children of God.
- 18:06Speaker 1: We're supposed to be influenced by God the Father. So
- 18:11Speaker 1: they know that, So you know, they humble themselves and
- 18:15Speaker 1: they ask for prayer, they ask for guidance, they ask
- 18:18Speaker 1: for advice. They may have questions about the scriptures. So
- 18:22Speaker 1: we're ready with the truth, We're ready with the love,
- 18:25Speaker 1: We're ready with the grace. We're ready with a listening ear.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And we know that God has mercy on them as well.
- 18:32Speaker 1: And boast aby anything that we're doing. We boast about
- 18:35Speaker 1: our Father in Heaven who did it all. We boast
- 18:37Speaker 1: about our Savior, he did it all. We boast about
- 18:40Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God who's doing the work in us and
- 18:42Speaker 1: through us to help others. You see how it works.
- 18:45Speaker 1: We help others in their time of need. You don't just,
- 18:49Speaker 1: you know, hoard all the blessings and say, ah, I'm
- 18:52Speaker 1: blessed in You're not never that as a believer, as
- 18:55Speaker 1: a son, as a daughter in Christ. Amen, whether your
- 18:58Speaker 1: son or daughter in Christ, we should be comforting others
- 19:02Speaker 1: as we're being comforted while we're going through hearty some pains.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I can't explain it. Well, you know what I mean,
- 19:07Speaker 1: God does it. I man, when I'm struggling, when I'm
- 19:10Speaker 1: going through hearty some pain. When there's a loss of
- 19:12Speaker 1: a loved one, a family member, like I said, a
- 19:16Speaker 1: brother of Christius lost his mom. That's heartache pain, And
- 19:21Speaker 1: it's pressed on me so much that I ask God,
- 19:24Speaker 1: can you allow me to speak about heartase and pain
- 19:27Speaker 1: so I can develop some kind of hope in somebody's
- 19:30Speaker 1: heart right now, that you, Lord God will see our
- 19:33Speaker 1: heartys and pain, and that you would listen to our cry.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So he gave me the scripture Tewo Corinthians, chapter one,
- 19:40Speaker 1: verses three and four.
- 19:42Speaker 2: God is that good.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's concerned with what we're concerned with. He sees our
- 19:47Speaker 1: heartys and pain, he sees our struggles. He sees when
- 19:51Speaker 1: there's not a lot of money in the bank account,
- 19:53Speaker 1: he sees when there's not a lot of food in
- 19:55Speaker 1: the fridge, he sees when that's not a lot of
- 19:58Speaker 1: people that support us. He sees it all, and he
- 20:01Speaker 1: comforts us through all those troubles. Every trouble, all kinds
- 20:05Speaker 1: of troubles. He's there as a comforter. He's there as
- 20:08Speaker 1: a helper. He's there as the love of our soul
- 20:11Speaker 1: or the savior of our soul. He's there as our father.
- 20:14Speaker 1: He's there as our Savior. He's there as our spirit, God,
- 20:19Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, guiding us into all truth. So it's tough
- 20:24Speaker 1: those times, right, And sometimes it gets lonely at times
- 20:27Speaker 1: when not everybody agrees with what we are believing in
- 20:31Speaker 1: or who were believe in.
- 20:33Speaker 2: But it's so worth the struggle. It's so worth a hearted.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Campaign when we know that we're not alone. We know
- 20:39Speaker 1: that we can do this because we have a father
- 20:41Speaker 1: in heaven. We have a father in heaven. I don't
- 20:43Speaker 1: have an earthly father anymore. He died when I was
- 20:47Speaker 1: only fifteen years old, but I remember the last day
- 20:49Speaker 1: of his life. He kept on telling me, listen, when
- 20:52Speaker 1: I'm not around, go see your heavenly father. I had
- 20:54Speaker 1: no clue what he was talking about. I was fourteen
- 20:57Speaker 1: years old when he was telling me that. I think
- 20:59Speaker 1: he knew he was sick, and I think he knew
- 21:01Speaker 1: he was dying. So the last year of his life
- 21:04Speaker 1: he tried to direct me to the Father in heaven,
- 21:07Speaker 1: whoever that father was. He got he had of revelation.
- 21:10Speaker 1: He knew that when he was gone he could trust
- 21:12Speaker 1: in our Heavenly Father, or when he was gone for me,
- 21:16Speaker 1: And I'm so glad it didn't hit me until fifteen
- 21:19Speaker 1: years later after his death that God met me where
- 21:22Speaker 1: I was and now he's taken me to where he is,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and he could do the very same thing for you.
- 21:28Speaker 1: When someone in your family starts saying speaking about the
- 21:31Speaker 1: Father in heaven, please.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Listen to them.
- 21:34Speaker 1: They're onto something, they're onto the truth of that one
- 21:37Speaker 1: day they were going to be gone. But our Heavenly
- 21:39Speaker 1: Father lives on forever in her hearts and our minds,
- 21:42Speaker 1: and he's victorious and he knows how to lead us when.
- 21:46Speaker 2: We're going through stuff. Sis. Joanne says, yes, she does see,
- 21:50Speaker 2: he does see everything. He is so good, my Lord.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I love him, Yes, I love him too, a man,
- 21:55Speaker 1: thank you for your comment. He binds up the broken hearty, Yes,
- 21:58Speaker 1: just the joyce he does. And I can't explain how
- 22:02Speaker 1: he does it, but he just does it.
- 22:03Speaker 2: He's God. He loves us.
- 22:06Speaker 1: He loves you and me so much that he's with
- 22:09Speaker 1: us through every single circumstance never leaves us. I don't
- 22:13Speaker 1: think no one can boast about a God like that
- 22:15Speaker 1: other than Christ's followers. We know because we experienced it.
- 22:20Speaker 1: We experience it day by day. He's concerned with all
- 22:23Speaker 1: our concerns, whether we think those concerns are big or small.
- 22:27Speaker 1: God's concerned what we're concerned with. And you know what,
- 22:30Speaker 1: he changes our heart and he changes our mind about
- 22:32Speaker 1: these situations and these times of trouble. He changes it
- 22:36Speaker 1: because now we have a new mind, we have the
- 22:37Speaker 1: mind of Christ, and we have a new heart set
- 22:40Speaker 1: with God's desires, not our desires anymore.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Right. So it's an amazing way, an amazing path of
- 22:46Speaker 2: life that we chose. Amen.
- 22:48Speaker 1: As we follow Christ through this dying world, we have
- 22:52Speaker 1: life through this dark world, we have lights.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Amen. Brother Frank says you are a good man. Sam.
- 22:58Speaker 1: We love you and I'm glad to meet you as
- 23:00Speaker 1: a brother. Amen, Thank you so much. We're trying to
- 23:02Speaker 1: make big cry early in the morning. Thank you so much,
- 23:04Speaker 1: Brother Frank. You're an amazing brother in Christ as well
- 23:07Speaker 1: your amazing man, a god, a husband or father. I
- 23:10Speaker 1: see God has changed your life tremendously and you are
- 23:13Speaker 1: just a blessing until everybody you meet, especially me, amen
- 23:17Speaker 1: in my family, thank you so much for that comment.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, So I'll getting some amen. So we know.
- 23:22Speaker 1: This is something I knew that was gonna resonate with
- 23:25Speaker 1: all of us, because none of us could go around
- 23:27Speaker 1: saying that we don't go through any kind of heartach campaign.
- 23:30Speaker 1: None of us could say that we don't go through
- 23:32Speaker 1: things in life that are like wow, like I didn't
- 23:35Speaker 1: see that coming. None of us could say that we
- 23:37Speaker 1: never questioned God this question.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Why God? I know I've questioned God why, and.
- 23:43Speaker 1: We don't probably get the answers all the time of why.
- 23:46Speaker 1: But I believe God, by way of his love, by
- 23:48Speaker 1: way of his mercy, by way of his Holy Spirit,
- 23:50Speaker 1: by way of his word, by way of his body,
- 23:52Speaker 1: that we come together.
- 23:53Speaker 2: And comfort one another and courage one another. That why
- 23:56Speaker 2: questions starts getting real, real, real, dim.
- 23:59Speaker 1: It's not the focus anymore. The focus is Jesus. The
- 24:02Speaker 1: focus is our Lord. The focus is the love that
- 24:05Speaker 1: He provides and he.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Offers, and that's the focus, and others and others become
- 24:11Speaker 2: my focus because I'll be like, man, I'm going through this.
- 24:13Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm telling you,
- 24:15Speaker 1: That's the way I think all the time. When I
- 24:17Speaker 1: go through heartas and pain, I literally hear a voice
- 24:21Speaker 1: in my head saying, well, You're not the only one,
- 24:23Speaker 1: so find a way to help somebody else right now
- 24:26Speaker 1: at my weakest points a man, God will make you
- 24:29Speaker 1: and I the strongest in other people's lives at our
- 24:33Speaker 1: weakest point. I can see that when Jesus himself was
- 24:36Speaker 1: fasting for forty days, and the devil himself try to
- 24:41Speaker 1: tempt Jesus at Jesus' weakest point in humanity, and what
- 24:45Speaker 1: did Jesus do. He went to the Word to help
- 24:48Speaker 1: him out. And at the very end of that temptation battle,
- 24:51Speaker 1: which by the way, the enemy lost and Jesus won,
- 24:55Speaker 1: at his weakest point, at the time of his need
- 24:57Speaker 1: and time of his trouble.
- 24:58Speaker 2: At the very end of it, the Bible says that
- 25:00Speaker 2: angels went and tended to Jesus. Amen.
- 25:05Speaker 1: So why wouldn't angels tend to us when we feel weak,
- 25:08Speaker 1: when we're going through temptation and struggles and heartas and pain.
- 25:12Speaker 1: And God is a god who favors no person, Amen,
- 25:16Speaker 1: But he develops a way of us to understand that
- 25:19Speaker 1: we're never alone. Part of my dream yesterday or this morning,
- 25:24Speaker 1: or whenever it was happening, someone had came up to me,
- 25:29Speaker 1: so it looks like you're all alone, and they were
- 25:31Speaker 1: coming up to me violently, And I told the person
- 25:34Speaker 1: in my dreams and no, I'm never alone. He didn't
- 25:37Speaker 1: understand what that meant. And then I woke up. That
- 25:40Speaker 1: was part of the dream. But yeah, we're never alone.
- 25:43Speaker 1: God is our helper, he's our protector, he's our refuge,
- 25:46Speaker 1: he's our strong tower. He's our father who loves us.
- 25:49Speaker 1: He's the light in us that shines brightly in the darkness.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Amen. So don't ever think that you're alone.
- 25:55Speaker 1: You might be physically walking around alone, but even that,
- 25:58Speaker 1: I'm starting to rethink that as well, because we have
- 26:01Speaker 1: Holy Spirit living inside of us, where the moving temples,
- 26:04Speaker 1: the moving walking sanctuaries around this world, physically, we're not
- 26:08Speaker 1: alone either. It's not just a spiritual thing, it's also
- 26:11Speaker 1: a physical thing. How many times I'm raising my hand,
- 26:14Speaker 1: how many times has God got you out of situations
- 26:16Speaker 1: that you know one hundred percent and had to be
- 26:18Speaker 1: God to get you out of that violent situation, to
- 26:21Speaker 1: get you out of that life threatening situation to get
- 26:24Speaker 1: you out of that temptation and provide a door way
- 26:26Speaker 1: of escape, how many times over and over again.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Right? Why?
- 26:30Speaker 1: Because God is a consistent God, he's loving God, he's
- 26:34Speaker 1: a purer God.
- 26:35Speaker 2: He's a loving God. He's an amazing God, and he
- 26:39Speaker 2: wants to.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Let us know that when we're going through heartaches and pain,
- 26:43Speaker 1: we're not the only ones, and He's going to come
- 26:45Speaker 1: and rescue us.
- 26:46Speaker 2: He's going to come and comfort us.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord,
- 26:51Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, this version says, and
- 26:56Speaker 1: the God of all comfort, right, the God of compassion,
- 27:00Speaker 1: who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we
- 27:04Speaker 1: can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Have received from God.
- 27:12Speaker 1: So I tell people all the time, God doesn't waste
- 27:15Speaker 1: pain in our hearts and our minds, and heartaches and
- 27:18Speaker 1: pain could be a lesson and also is a way
- 27:21Speaker 1: of Him showing up in our lives. And he's the
- 27:23Speaker 1: only one who could do it comfort us through those
- 27:26Speaker 1: pains and heartaches so we could go and help somebody
- 27:29Speaker 1: else when they're going through the same thing. Wow, thank
- 27:33Speaker 1: you Jesus for your love, your grace, and your mercy
- 27:35Speaker 1: and your word.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Amen never leaves us alone. So I'm out of time.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Thank you so much, it's the joy Us for your
- 27:41Speaker 2: comments and everyone that was with me today. Let me
- 27:44Speaker 2: just send you off all with a blessing love you all.
- 27:47Speaker 1: God bless you all, God keep you all, and remember
- 27:50Speaker 1: always that God is good.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Peace a
