Speaker 1: so much for coming through to these Morning DeVos. I
0:31
Speaker 1: try to do these Mondays through Fridays faithfully five thirty
0:34
Speaker 1: a m Easter to stand in time. I try to
0:36
Speaker 1: be here in the studio. Amen, alive and well for you,
0:40
Speaker 1: hey man. And that's all glory to God from God's
0:44
Speaker 1: because of God's grace. Today I'm talking about something that
0:47
Speaker 1: I know is a crown that we have when we
0:50
Speaker 1: have the Lord living inside of us, we have the
0:52
Speaker 1: crown of kindness, the crown of kindness. Go ahead and
0:56
Speaker 1: put on the crown of kindness. Because the Lord is
0:59
Speaker 1: the King of kings. So therefore, if he's the King
1:03
Speaker 1: of kings, we are his part of his kingdom. So
1:07
Speaker 1: we are in the Kingship, Amen, the sonship. We're in
1:10
Speaker 1: the family, the forever family. We are adopted into a
1:14
Speaker 1: grated into the eternal family. Amen. By the way if
1:18
Speaker 1: His love, grace and his mercy, and because of that
1:21
Speaker 1: we have a crown of kindness. I believe that with
1:24
Speaker 1: all my heart, and we could use the kindness that
1:27
Speaker 1: God gave us. We could use it because we know
1:30
Speaker 1: it now, Amen, and we could use it to help
1:32
Speaker 1: others through life. As we're being helped by God's grace,
1:38
Speaker 1: his kindness, holy Spirit leading us and guiding us, we
1:40
Speaker 1: can help others. I know that for a fact. Crown
1:44
Speaker 1: of kindness Today in the morning, Devo, Let's see if
1:47
Speaker 1: I could get to my notes if I messed this
1:49
Speaker 1: all up, man. So, our kindness is a response to
1:54
Speaker 1: the incredible grace and love we have received from God.
2:00
Speaker 1: I want to say that again for the people that
2:02
Speaker 1: didn't hear me in the back. Our kindness is a
2:06
Speaker 1: response to the incredible grace and love we have received
2:11
Speaker 1: from God himself. That kindness, when you come across a
2:15
Speaker 1: kind person, a gentle hearted, gentle spirited person, it impacts
2:20
Speaker 1: your life. I know it impacts my life because we
2:23
Speaker 1: don't have enough of that going on right When you
2:26
Speaker 1: come across a person that listens, when you come across
2:29
Speaker 1: a person that loves, when you come across a person
2:32
Speaker 1: that cares about what you're going through and what you're
2:35
Speaker 1: currently facing, those type of people impact your life. I
2:41
Speaker 1: know that, Man, I met people like that. I know
2:45
Speaker 1: people like that that give you an ear to listen,
2:49
Speaker 1: and they are so like genuine they're not faking nothing,
2:53
Speaker 1: they're not forcing nothing. That just genuinely kind and they
2:56
Speaker 1: generally walk with love, grace and mercy. Be those people
3:01
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about yesterday, Well, on my what do
3:06
Speaker 1: you call those things? They call it a note or
3:10
Speaker 1: in social media, your note? I wrote yesterday, I wish
3:14
Speaker 1: I could go back in time to speak to the
3:18
Speaker 1: young me. I wish I could have a time capsule
3:22
Speaker 1: to go and speak to younger me and give this kindness,
3:25
Speaker 1: and give this grace, and give this knowledge, and give
3:27
Speaker 1: this wisdom, and give this understanding to the younger me
3:30
Speaker 1: while I was out there and doing all kinds of
3:33
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Amen, Because I know that all it took
3:37
Speaker 1: to me at least was people to come and listen
3:41
Speaker 1: to me, Listen to my heart, listen to what I
3:43
Speaker 1: was saying what I was trying to explain to people
3:47
Speaker 1: all through my young life. Amen. And really I don't
3:50
Speaker 1: think nobody was getting it. And the only people that
3:52
Speaker 1: were getting it with my boys, my friends, Amen, and
3:56
Speaker 1: they were listening and men, but because they were going
3:59
Speaker 1: through similar things, they were in being heard either. So
4:03
Speaker 1: our younger selves needed our older sels born against cells
4:07
Speaker 1: to speak to our unborn against cells. It would have
4:11
Speaker 1: been an incredible thing, credible experience. Right, good morning since
4:14
Speaker 1: to Joanne, I see you, God, bless you. Welcome back
4:16
Speaker 1: to the morning, Devo. So let's do this. Let's pray first.
4:19
Speaker 1: After we pray with shut this out for like sixty seconds.
4:22
Speaker 1: Please keep some people. I don't really have their permission,
4:27
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put it out there by faith. My
4:32
Speaker 1: friend Felix Cologne, keep him in your prayers for health
4:35
Speaker 1: over his body. And also Pastor Michael Jakes, another friend
4:39
Speaker 1: of mine, keep him in prayer for health as well. Amen.
4:43
Speaker 1: So I just put out there if I get in trouble,
4:45
Speaker 1: I get in trouble. My bad has been on my
4:47
Speaker 1: heart and my mind all night. So I know this
4:51
Speaker 1: power and prayer. So those who pray until the Living
4:54
Speaker 1: God amen, keep those two men of God in prayer.
4:58
Speaker 1: So let's pray first. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
5:01
Speaker 1: or any prayer requests all through the live or even
5:05
Speaker 1: if I'm not live by the time you listen or watch,
5:08
Speaker 1: there should be a way to connect with me from
5:09
Speaker 1: whatever platform you're listening to the podcast from or you know,
5:13
Speaker 1: of course, on the website as well, there's something or
5:16
Speaker 1: some places that you could connect with me there. But
5:19
Speaker 1: on a live chat as well, for whatever social media
5:22
Speaker 1: platform you're watching or listening from, you can do that too.
5:25
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's pray. Let's put this
5:28
Speaker 1: crowd of kindness on Lord Jesus. Thank you for the
5:31
Speaker 1: crown of kindness. Thank you that we are clothed in
5:34
Speaker 1: Christ Jesus because we are born again. Thank you for renewing,
5:37
Speaker 1: giving us a new start, redeeming us, sanctifying us for
5:42
Speaker 1: your purpose and plan for our lives in this world.
5:45
Speaker 1: Father God, that you would send the crown of kindness,
5:48
Speaker 1: people who have the crown of kindness into areas right now,
5:52
Speaker 1: that people need a word of a gentle word, that
5:56
Speaker 1: they need a word of encouragement, that they need a
5:59
Speaker 1: word of peace over their lives during this chaos and
6:02
Speaker 1: this chaotic world system. I pray Lord God, the peace
6:05
Speaker 1: of God and that will continue to guide us into
6:09
Speaker 1: all truth and into all righteousness, the peace of God
6:12
Speaker 1: that no person really truly understands, because the peace that
6:15
Speaker 1: Jesus gives is different than the peace that the world offers. Really,
6:19
Speaker 1: the world doesn't offer any peace. Lord, The world offers
6:23
Speaker 1: a lot of lies, a lot of deception. But in
6:25
Speaker 1: those lies and deceptions, love God, we bring the light
6:28
Speaker 1: of Christ. Thank you, Lord God, for the light of Christ,
6:30
Speaker 1: for the truth of God, for the truth of love, grace, hope, mercy.
6:34
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for everything that you have done. Also,
6:37
Speaker 1: pray for my younger bro in Christ, brother Jonathan, that
6:41
Speaker 1: you will continue to guide, guard and protect him as
6:43
Speaker 1: well as he walks through life. He needs words of
6:46
Speaker 1: kindness encouragement as well. Pray that by faith, knowing that
6:50
Speaker 1: you hear these prayers of your children and you answer
6:53
Speaker 1: them accordingly. You answer them to every single individual situation
6:58
Speaker 1: and every single individual life. I pray this by faith,
7:01
Speaker 1: knowing that you are the ultimate God of mercy and
7:05
Speaker 1: the ultimate God of Love. You are Love, and I
7:08
Speaker 1: give you glory, honor, worship and praise as we come
7:11
Speaker 1: together on these times to devote sometimes to you, to
7:14
Speaker 1: vote the first part of our day to you. If
7:16
Speaker 1: this is the first time that we're devoting this time, Amen,
7:20
Speaker 1: let it be so. I pray this by faith in
7:23
Speaker 1: Jesus' name, He's holy. And amen to the amen for
7:27
Speaker 1: those who agree agree with me, and the amen to
7:29
Speaker 1: the amen. So let's go for it. Let's shut this
7:32
Speaker 1: out for sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get
7:35
Speaker 1: right into Crown of Kindness. Oh. Let me give you
7:38
Speaker 1: the scripture. And the scripture is collisions, I believe, chapter
7:43
Speaker 1: number three, verse number twelve. Collisions. Chapter three, verse number twelve.
7:48
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. S alright, alright, heymen, And somebody
9:20
Speaker 1: moved my camera. I know somebody moved my camera. Amen.
9:23
Speaker 1: Pray for a brother. I know my little children like
9:27
Speaker 1: to come to my studio messed with things. Amen. But
9:30
Speaker 1: we're here in the building. Thank you Jesus for having
9:34
Speaker 1: blessed me with children in the first place. I'm not complaining.
9:39
Speaker 1: I guess I am literally complaining a little bit. Forgive me.
9:44
Speaker 1: I just know when things of being moved in touch
9:46
Speaker 1: because I put them a certain way. Excuse me since
9:50
Speaker 1: the Nils. I see you. Good morning, God, bless you.
9:52
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning. Devo, my sister, my friend,
9:55
Speaker 1: it's good to see you. I got a couple of
9:58
Speaker 1: amen's here, Crown of kindness, Crown of kindness today in
10:02
Speaker 1: the morning even let's go for it, Amen, and let
10:04
Speaker 1: me get this ready on the screen for those who
10:06
Speaker 1: are listening to it is a place, a safe place,
10:09
Speaker 1: an environment that you could come and get the word
10:11
Speaker 1: God and see how Christians devote the first part of
10:14
Speaker 1: their day. Man, we are concerned just like anybody else
10:19
Speaker 1: about what's going on in this world. We ask God
10:22
Speaker 1: questions just like anybody else who ask God questions. We
10:25
Speaker 1: go through life just like everybody else. The difference is,
10:29
Speaker 1: at least one of the differences, is that we know
10:31
Speaker 1: we're not alone, and we know we have a God
10:34
Speaker 1: of heaven and earth, a father in heaven who loves
10:37
Speaker 1: us so much that he sent his only begotten son,
10:40
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus, sacrifice his own life, shed his own blood,
10:44
Speaker 1: so that way we could live and we could have
10:46
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be forgiven for our sins, the opportunity
10:51
Speaker 1: to experience eternal life with him, not temporary life, eternal life.
10:55
Speaker 1: With him, we get the born again experience, not even
10:58
Speaker 1: that angels have that right, and we just move differently.
11:02
Speaker 1: At least we should and we also should be the
11:04
Speaker 1: kindest people on the planet Earth, not the softest, because people,
11:08
Speaker 1: I know the world says kindness. All you guys are soft.
11:11
Speaker 1: Know that none. As a matter of fact, a kind
11:13
Speaker 1: man of God to me is ferocious, has a line
11:18
Speaker 1: in his lungs. Amen, it's ferocious. It's a spirit that's
11:25
Speaker 1: being a meek spirit. Power under control. Showing kindness in
11:29
Speaker 1: this dark place, showing the light in this dark place
11:32
Speaker 1: is a powerful moves, not a cowardly move at all.
11:35
Speaker 1: And the same thing for the sisters of the Lord, Amen,
11:37
Speaker 1: the woman of God when they show kindness to people
11:40
Speaker 1: that are sowing hatred, and that's boldness, that is power,
11:45
Speaker 1: and that's not soft at all. Being saved doesn't mean
11:48
Speaker 1: you're soft. I know the world. He sees it that way,
11:51
Speaker 1: because that's the way the world does it. Man, they
11:53
Speaker 1: don't understand a man. So we pray for people like
11:56
Speaker 1: that who think that being a Christian means that you
11:58
Speaker 1: have to be soft. In the Christian means that we
12:01
Speaker 1: have power under control. We have Holy Spirit, God, the
12:03
Speaker 1: Hope of glory living side of us, and we move differently,
12:07
Speaker 1: or at least we should. So I just wanted to
12:09
Speaker 1: put that out there just in case. I know that
12:12
Speaker 1: might be in the mind of a lot of people
12:15
Speaker 1: when they meet me. When I try to show kindness,
12:17
Speaker 1: I do ride share right, and I meet a lot
12:20
Speaker 1: of different people. That's one of the reasons why I
12:22
Speaker 1: love doing rides share. I meet all different types of people,
12:25
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, when they send in the back
12:28
Speaker 1: as a passenger, they open up right away. For whatever reason,
12:31
Speaker 1: they speak on things that probably they normally will not
12:34
Speaker 1: speak to other people. But since I'm a stranger and
12:37
Speaker 1: just a driver, amen, and they just think they could
12:39
Speaker 1: open up. Praise God. I take that opportunity to minister.
12:43
Speaker 1: I take that opportunity to show kindness. I take that
12:45
Speaker 1: opportunity to listen to a lot of people's stories. Man,
12:49
Speaker 1: And if I could record, and I won't just because
12:52
Speaker 1: of privacy, you will hear some stories that are amazing,
12:56
Speaker 1: and people are going through a lot of stuff a man,
12:59
Speaker 1: some are good bad, But nonetheless we show kindness. Kindness
13:04
Speaker 1: is a crown that God gives his children a man
13:06
Speaker 1: to live in and live through, and live that way
13:10
Speaker 1: in kindness, the crown of kindness to day in the morning.
13:12
Speaker 1: The strong man and woman of the Lord were warriors. Yes,
13:15
Speaker 1: we are warriors, and we are soldiers for the Kingdom
13:18
Speaker 1: of God. We're soldiers of the cross. Thank you Sis
13:21
Speaker 1: and Elsa for that comment. Let me put this on
13:24
Speaker 1: the screen. Yes, Crown of kindness today in the morning,
13:27
Speaker 1: devo and try to get to the scripture. And it
13:30
Speaker 1: looks like my my graphics weren't working, but hey, we're here, Collijn,
13:36
Speaker 1: Chapter three, verse number twelve. So as God's own chosen
13:41
Speaker 1: people see that as God's own chosen people, who are what?
13:47
Speaker 1: Who are holy? The holy means set apart, sanctified for
13:52
Speaker 1: His purpose. We are set apart, we are called out once,
13:56
Speaker 1: set apart for God's purpose and well beloe loved by
14:01
Speaker 1: God himself. God loves you, God loves me, and we're
14:04
Speaker 1: set apart for His purpose. That's why a lot of
14:07
Speaker 1: people look at us as we're martians. We are kind
14:11
Speaker 1: of like aliens on this earth because we're ambassadors for
14:14
Speaker 1: Christ and we know we're just passing through and we're
14:17
Speaker 1: farmists and we're farming and we're just sowing seeds of kindness,
14:22
Speaker 1: sowing seeds of eternal life till in the ground as
14:26
Speaker 1: we move, let's keep on going, so well beloved by
14:30
Speaker 1: God himself. Here it is, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,
14:41
Speaker 1: and patience. Say that again, put on a harder compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,
14:50
Speaker 1: and patience, which has the power to endure whatever injustice
14:57
Speaker 1: or unpleasantness comes with good temper. This is a God move.
15:05
Speaker 1: We can't do this, or at least I know, I
15:07
Speaker 1: can't put this on without God first putting it on me. Amen.
15:12
Speaker 1: Now I know the kindness of God. I know the
15:14
Speaker 1: compassion of God. I know the heart of God. I
15:17
Speaker 1: know the humility of God, the gentleness and patience of God. Now,
15:20
Speaker 1: since I know it, I could demonstrate it. Since you
15:23
Speaker 1: know it, you could demonstrate it. Don't let that add
15:26
Speaker 1: to me. Tell you, Ah, you can't be none of that. No,
15:28
Speaker 1: we are who God says we are. We're His chosen people,
15:32
Speaker 1: we are holy people. We're set apart, sanctified for His purpose.
15:36
Speaker 1: I know we have a flesh that wars against this word,
15:39
Speaker 1: that wars against the spirit is always going to be
15:41
Speaker 1: a war between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh
15:44
Speaker 1: is we, the spirit is powerful, and the spirit is willing.
15:48
Speaker 1: A man trusts in the one who is willing, and
15:51
Speaker 1: resist the one who is weak, the one the living
15:55
Speaker 1: old self. Leave that apart from us, because we're so
16:00
Speaker 1: apart to do the works of God. The flesh is
16:02
Speaker 1: not set apart through the works of God. The flesh
16:05
Speaker 1: is set apart to do its own work in us,
16:07
Speaker 1: or try to do work through us, or try to
16:09
Speaker 1: do work because it's old. I rather live in the
16:12
Speaker 1: newness than live in old. But it is a war.
16:15
Speaker 1: A man of like to deny that. Every day is
16:17
Speaker 1: a war with the flesh. Amen. But we have the
16:20
Speaker 1: victory in Christ, not in religion. We don't have a
16:24
Speaker 1: victory in a religion. Amen. Please, religions don't love your
16:28
Speaker 1: Religions don't save you. Amen. Religion guides you in some paths,
16:33
Speaker 1: but it leads you strand it in certain areas of life.
16:35
Speaker 1: But Holy Jesus, our Father, our Savior, our Lord, our King,
16:40
Speaker 1: our Master, Amen, the one we serve, the one who
16:43
Speaker 1: left us, his holy Spirit sent one just like him
16:47
Speaker 1: to live in us. Our helper, our paraclet, our comforter,
16:52
Speaker 1: our guide, right. Our source of victory, our source of hope,
16:56
Speaker 1: lives in us, so we can get this crown of
16:59
Speaker 1: kindness going in our lives so others could see. Don't
17:02
Speaker 1: deny who you are in Christ. This world doesn't understand.
17:06
Speaker 1: So we have to be mindful of that, of that
17:08
Speaker 1: that they don't understand. Just be mindful of it. I'm
17:11
Speaker 1: not telling you to, you know, dull your light. I'm
17:16
Speaker 1: not telling you to ward it down the gospel. I'm
17:18
Speaker 1: just telling you to be mindful, be considerate of those
17:22
Speaker 1: who are not saved. Amen, and show kindness. The chronic
17:26
Speaker 1: kindness goes a long way when you walk in humility.
17:30
Speaker 1: Humility is so powerful me. I got to talk about that.
17:32
Speaker 1: Being humble is so powerful. You could have whatever you
17:37
Speaker 1: think you have, whatever I think I have. I'll be like, listen,
17:42
Speaker 1: that's cool. Thank you Jesus. I thank God for every
17:44
Speaker 1: single thing that he gives me. Everything single thing I have.
17:47
Speaker 1: I use every single thing that He gives me to
17:50
Speaker 1: reach gospel with the gospel message to reach people out there.
17:54
Speaker 1: But listen, I'm humble about it because I am humbled
17:58
Speaker 1: that God will even look my way. Amen, And let
18:02
Speaker 1: alone saved my life and transform my life. But about you,
18:04
Speaker 1: I know you feel the same way. How God could
18:07
Speaker 1: continue to love us even though sometimes we're unloving and
18:11
Speaker 1: we act crazy sometimes because we're fighting against a flesh.
18:15
Speaker 1: Everybody is fighting against the flesh, every single person, right, apostles, evangelists,
18:23
Speaker 1: prophet teachers, passes, everybody is fighting the flesh. Don't think
18:30
Speaker 1: that people are exempt from this fight, the good fight
18:34
Speaker 1: of faith. The Word says, So when we live in kindness,
18:38
Speaker 1: we are living the word. Our kindness is our response.
18:42
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, So the incredible grace, grace is incredible.
18:46
Speaker 1: God's grace is amazing. You know that. To be true, Amen,
18:51
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, for whatever reason, God shows this tremendous grace.
18:55
Speaker 1: And sometimes, to be honest, it bothers me because I'm
18:58
Speaker 1: like these people, those people myself. Sometimes it seems like
19:03
Speaker 1: we're getting over. We're not getting over. God's grace is
19:06
Speaker 1: so amazing and credible that He's it seems like he's
19:10
Speaker 1: slow to respond and take care of things, but perfect
19:14
Speaker 1: timing of God. Everybody's gonna have their day. If people
19:19
Speaker 1: are going about their life hurting other people, being unkind
19:22
Speaker 1: to other people, criticizing Christianity, or criticizing the gospel or
19:29
Speaker 1: mocking our God. You think that's gonna go unnoticed. Dad
19:34
Speaker 1: sees it. But his grace is so incredible. But it
19:37
Speaker 1: seems like, why don't you do something, God, to those people,
19:41
Speaker 1: to that person who just mocked you, or what he is,
19:44
Speaker 1: he is doing something. He's given him an opportunity to repent.
19:48
Speaker 1: He gave us the opportunity to repent. Why wouldn't he
19:52
Speaker 1: give everybody else an opportunity to repent, to turn from
19:56
Speaker 1: their wickedness and turn to the righteousness of God. And man,
19:59
Speaker 1: I did it. Thank you, Thank you Jesus for your grace.
20:01
Speaker 1: I did it way back in two thousand and one.
20:03
Speaker 1: And I did it not even believing in God. I
20:06
Speaker 1: did it not even thinking that I was talking to
20:09
Speaker 1: any God. But evidently he's real. Evidently he came to
20:13
Speaker 1: where I was to take me to where he is.
20:16
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, we are here in the Dash,
20:19
Speaker 1: the time I was born, the Dash, I was born
20:22
Speaker 1: again during the Dash, and the time that I'm going
20:24
Speaker 1: to depart. I don't know, Amen, it could be soon,
20:27
Speaker 1: it could be later. I don't know. All I know
20:30
Speaker 1: is that the grace of God is covering me, my family,
20:33
Speaker 1: my life, our ministry, our businesses, our organizations that we're
20:36
Speaker 1: involved in, our jobs, protecting, guiding and guarding us. And
20:39
Speaker 1: He's doing that for you and your family as well.
20:42
Speaker 1: And you know it. So because you know all of that,
20:45
Speaker 1: we could be kind, We could show humility, We could listen, amen,
20:48
Speaker 1: We could clothe ourselves where where God wants us to
20:52
Speaker 1: put on Amen, And we could live that way. We
20:54
Speaker 1: could live that way, be that way, and we are
20:57
Speaker 1: that way. Amen. I declare that in the name of
20:59
Speaker 1: Jesus over life as well. We are who God says,
21:03
Speaker 1: we are, nothing more, nothing less. Where God's chosen people.
21:09
Speaker 1: We are holy, we are set apart, we are sanctified
21:12
Speaker 1: for His purpose and well loved by God himself. If
21:16
Speaker 1: you can understand the love of God, and I'm still
21:20
Speaker 1: trying to understand the love of God, but the peace
21:23
Speaker 1: of God, the love of God, the grace of God,
21:26
Speaker 1: all up in your life, you should have no problem
21:30
Speaker 1: showing compassion, having a heart of compassion, having kindness as
21:36
Speaker 1: your crown a man, Humility, gentleness, and patience, which are
21:42
Speaker 1: you know the foods of the Spirit. Remember, as part
21:44
Speaker 1: of the foods of the Spirit, the food of the spirit.
21:47
Speaker 1: I should say it's all in there, man, because we
21:50
Speaker 1: have the Lord living in us and through us. So
21:53
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful expression of God's love working through us.
21:58
Speaker 1: Right compassionate people to serve others, to help others, as
22:04
Speaker 1: God is helping me. A man, I'm gonna go ahead
22:06
Speaker 1: and help you. Why you know? Is that simple enough?
22:09
Speaker 1: Like if I know God is helping me, and I
22:11
Speaker 1: know God knows my needs, amen, and He's gonna supply
22:15
Speaker 1: all my needs. He sees all of our needs and
22:18
Speaker 1: supplies for each and every single one of those needs. Now,
22:21
Speaker 1: our wants might be a little different than what we need,
22:24
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm talking about. Amen. I want
22:27
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but what I need God supplies
22:30
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for that supply. Amen. Sometimes I think
22:36
Speaker 1: I need more, but God knows exactly what I need,
22:39
Speaker 1: so I'm trusting him. Amen. Sometimes it seems like I
22:43
Speaker 1: want to go into another year in ministry financially, however
22:47
Speaker 1: the case may be. God knows the perfect time. He
22:49
Speaker 1: knows my heart. And a lot of times I think
22:52
Speaker 1: me personally, I think what's being held back is me.
22:57
Speaker 1: I'm being helped back. God's protecting me from me. My
23:00
Speaker 1: oldness needs to be overcome by the newness, which is
23:05
Speaker 1: God living inside of me. Allowing God to move in
23:08
Speaker 1: your life is more powerful than allowing the flesh to
23:11
Speaker 1: move in your life. To flesh, it's easy, that's the
23:14
Speaker 1: easy thing, Amen, to go to what the flesh wants
23:18
Speaker 1: to do. But when you're rolling in the spirit of
23:20
Speaker 1: God and you are encouraged by people and the community
23:23
Speaker 1: of God, people of God, that's why it's very strategic
23:27
Speaker 1: and it's a good thing to surround yourself with born
23:29
Speaker 1: again believers. I'm not telling you to look for perfect
23:32
Speaker 1: born again believer. I'm telling you to look for born
23:34
Speaker 1: again brothers and sisters and the Lord. Surround yourself from
23:37
Speaker 1: that community and watch what happens in your life. You'd
23:40
Speaker 1: be more encouraged, you be more on fire, you be
23:42
Speaker 1: more passionate, you be more kind, you be more gentle,
23:45
Speaker 1: you show humility, you're humbled, Amen, and you just move
23:49
Speaker 1: forward that way. It's not a gang. Ladies and gentlemen.
23:52
Speaker 1: We don't wear colors and man. We put on and
23:55
Speaker 1: clothe ourselves with the Lord. We close ourselves with humility,
23:58
Speaker 1: We close ourselves with compassion and in kindness. We close
24:01
Speaker 1: ourselves with gentleness and patience. We clothe ourselves that way.
24:06
Speaker 1: We don't put on colors and say away from this gang.
24:08
Speaker 1: We're from this church, from that church. We don't do that. Amen.
24:11
Speaker 1: The world does those things. We clothe ourselves with the
24:15
Speaker 1: God who loves us, the God who puts on a
24:18
Speaker 1: heart of compassion on his children, a heart of kindness,
24:21
Speaker 1: a heart of humility, a hearted gentleness and patience. Amen. So,
24:26
Speaker 1: whatever injustice or whatever nonsense or chaos is going on
24:30
Speaker 1: in your life, we can move with the God who
24:34
Speaker 1: is in us. We can move in goodness, we can
24:36
Speaker 1: move in kindness, and we have when we need to
24:39
Speaker 1: get through it all. Brother Frank, I see you. Good morning, God,
24:42
Speaker 1: bless you, good morning. I was going bless you and
24:44
Speaker 1: your family. Bless you in your family as well. Amen,
24:48
Speaker 1: it's going. Amen. The days passed by yesterday. I wish
24:51
Speaker 1: I could have did better. But Amen, we're here today
24:54
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do better, and I hope you
24:56
Speaker 1: do the same. Bro. God, bless you, thank you for
24:58
Speaker 1: coming through who So we're almost out of time. This
25:01
Speaker 1: this is good. Living, this way is good. Acts of
25:05
Speaker 1: kindness can take many forms, from offering a listening, ear,
25:10
Speaker 1: providing someone's, providing for someone's physical needs. Right, Jesus taught
25:17
Speaker 1: that even a simple act like giving a cup of
25:20
Speaker 1: water in his name is powerful, significant, and will not
25:25
Speaker 1: go unnoticed. Impact starts when you listen, when you show kindness.
25:31
Speaker 1: Do you realize that a lot of people out there,
25:35
Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of words of affirmation, They
25:37
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of words of kindness. Amen. So
25:40
Speaker 1: when I used to be a Catholic, we used to
25:41
Speaker 1: go to this youth organization. It was called the Cyo
25:46
Speaker 1: Catholic Youth Organization, and we used to go to the
25:48
Speaker 1: retreat house called Gracehouse. The shot I told the Gracehouse alumni,
25:52
Speaker 1: amen out there, and they did this activity that always
25:57
Speaker 1: impacted me. They sit you down in a chair and
26:00
Speaker 1: for I think thirty to forty five seconds a minute tops,
26:04
Speaker 1: they have all the people in the room while you're
26:06
Speaker 1: sitting in the middle in a chair, speak words of affirmation.
26:10
Speaker 1: Speak words that are good over your life, encourage you
26:13
Speaker 1: all these words. When you feel that, amen, and you're
26:16
Speaker 1: sitting down and hearing all those good words coming at you,
26:18
Speaker 1: it impacts your life. We should be those people sitting
26:21
Speaker 1: the world down in a chair and speaking life over them, Amen.
26:26
Speaker 1: And it'll impact their lives forever. I know impact in
26:28
Speaker 1: my life. Amen. And maybe we could do that for
26:31
Speaker 1: one another one day, sit each other down and just
26:33
Speaker 1: speak words of encouragement, words of affirmation, words of love,
26:37
Speaker 1: words of grace, words of mercy. Has power because that's
26:41
Speaker 1: the kindness that we have living inside of us. And
26:43
Speaker 1: we could put that out there, Amen, as a form
26:46
Speaker 1: of power, the power God, characteristics of God and the
26:49
Speaker 1: food of the Spirit. I hope you get what I'm
26:51
Speaker 1: trying to say. I'm trying, and then I know I'm
26:54
Speaker 1: rambling a little bit, but we ran out of time. Wow.
26:57
Speaker 1: Word is good, though, So let me leave you with
27:00
Speaker 1: a blessing. Thank you so much for coming through. Take
27:02
Speaker 1: Collisions Chapter three was Collogun Chapter three. Read the whole
27:06
Speaker 1: chapter for yourself. We can't have a verse number twelve
27:09
Speaker 1: we started there, Amen, but you could take the whole chapter,
27:12
Speaker 1: study it and men speak it over your life, speak
27:14
Speaker 1: it over your family's life. So I bless you all
27:16
Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. God bless you all. Got
27:18
Speaker 1: to keep you all and remember always that God is good.
