• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we're here. Amen. I woke up in like, uh, I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was shocked. You know, when you wake up in a shock,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh wow, I let the I let the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: alarm get the best of me this morning. Amen, But
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we're here. It's Friday, so you already know what it is.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's authentic imitationlogy. This is episode number one oh five,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Episodes one oh five. Amen today on the Morning Devo
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Authentic Imitationlogy. And today we're gonna talk about never a waste.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You know, some people go around thinking that following God
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is a waste of time. I've heard it with my
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: own ears. That's a waste of time. I used to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be a Christian. You ever heard somebody say that I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: used to be a Christian. I used to go to church.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I know the Bible. I read the Bible from cover
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to cover. You ever heard people say that and they
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: said I did that and it was a waste of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: my time. Well, I'm here to tell you is never
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a waste A man, never a waste. Today on the morning, devo,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus will never waste your time. Jesus will never waste
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: your time. The fact is that he invites you into
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a life of purpose and fulfillment. So on the contrary,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I think the onlybody, only people, or any person who
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: wastes time sometimes it's us, a man. What's the hold
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: up of you getting into a personal relationship with God?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: If that's you right now, just ask yourself. Okay, I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: know you have a lot of excuses, because I used
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to have a whole lot of excuses of why I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: didn't serve the Lord, why I didn't believe in the Bible.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, think Jesus was real, or why
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a waste of time before I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was saved. I used to think that too. Why because
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was talking about a man.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know who God was, I didn't know what
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it meant to follow Christ. I thought being a Christian
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: men you had to be in a suit and tie
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: every day. This is I'm being honest, I thought that's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: what it meant. I thought you had to be in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: church every day, or you had to, you know, just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: hang out with a certain group of people. You couldn't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: do this, you couldn't do that. I put all these
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: rules all myself, just thinking about being a Christ follower
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: at the time until I met Jesus, until he came
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: into my life, transformed me, changed me, redeem me, saved me,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and gave me the born again experience that I'm experienced
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: currently right now. Never a waste today in the morning, Devo,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be in Hebrews chapter thirteen, verse number five.
• 3:09

• 3:13
  Speaker 1: see you, Good morning, God bless you in the group

• 4:24
  Speaker 1: angered by whatever life through at them. Situations, relationships, finances, sickness, disease, loneliness, anxiety,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all that log God that the world and the enemy
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: presents to us. I pray, Lord God that you will
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: break us feet from all of it right now the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. And I pray Lord God that not
• 4:43

• 4:45
  Speaker 1: thrive in this world, and that Lord God, that promised
• 4:48

• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. I pray, Look God, a hedge of

• 5:42
  Speaker 1: our grandchildren. I pray, Lord God, that you will continue

• 5:51

  Speaker 1: rules and regulations. He fulfilled the law. Amen. But yet
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: out of humility, he followed them Amen until a degree

  Speaker 1: there will never be a shortage of prayer like prayer request. Man,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about things to pray for because it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: always something to pray for. If you could, if I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: could spend time being angry, that means I have time
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to pray. I have to spend time word to worry,

• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let me put this on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the screen so that way we could get this movement
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and we could get to the first scripture of the day,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the main scripture of the day, the one we're going
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to be focusing on today. Amen, So here we go.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Sensic imitationology. Amen. No, bright colors, I change it up
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and big letters. Amen, bright colors and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: big letters. Let's see if this grabs people attention. Right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: never o waste Peoblew's Chapter thirteen, verse number five says,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: let your character, your moral essence, your inner nature, be
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: free from the love of money, shun greed, be financially ethical,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: being content with what you have. For he has said,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I will never, under any circumstances, desert you, nor give
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you up, nor leave you without support, Nor will I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in any degree leave you helpless. Nor will I forsake
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: or let you down, or relax my hold on you
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: are surely not. You can also reference this with Joshua
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: chapter on, verse number five. Now, this scripture, it talks
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: about a lot of things that will fail you. Money
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: will fail you. Shun greed, be financially ethical, greed for money,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: greed to get ahead. You're going to be stepping on
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: other people's toes. You're got to be selfish, you go
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to be prideful if you allow money to shape you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Character is a big thing when it comes to God
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and your relationship with the Lord Your character is not
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: what you do in front of Christians or a church
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: as much as it is what you do outside of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that environment, outside of church, outside of the community of believers. Right,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: what do you do when the doors are closed? That's character?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So versus is packed with a whole bunch of stuff.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: That's never a waste your character building that up. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: when things happen in our lives, Amen. I know I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: don't like drama. I don't like to go through things
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: either that are painful, but that will build your character
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if you're trusting and the one who will never waste
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: your time. Right, be content what you have. I know
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people want way more. I want some
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: more stuff as well, but I'm content with I with
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: what I already have, and what I have I will
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: use to his fullest degree for the sake of the kingdom. Amen.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Since the Joy says I love that instead of complaining,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: praise and pray. Yes, Amen, I really ever complain. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: do complain, Amen, but I try my best not to. Amen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And it's a rare thing for people who know me.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I could be going through a lot and I really
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: will complain, really, Amen, because I know complaining is not
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to get anything done, So be content with what you have. Why,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: For he has said I will never desert you. In
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: other words, Jesus, the Lord will never waste your time,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: never waste my time your time. He will never leave us,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: No for sake is desert us, nor will in any
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: degree leave you helpless. God is a god who will
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: help you in our time of need, help me at
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: my time of need, help you at your time of need.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And he gets there right on time, never late. It
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: seems like he's waiting for the last second sometimes, but
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: he has it all perfectly orchestrated. No will I forsake
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you or let you down, amen, because God is not
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a man that he should lie. God is not a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: person who promises you something and lets you down on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: those promises. He won't relax his hold on you, surely
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: not to let us encourage you. Man. God's not wasting time.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He's not wasting no one's time. Amen. He's a guy
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: who saves, a God who rescues, a perfect God Amen,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: who loves you and loves me Amen, and wants us
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to know that it's never a waste to follow him,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: never a waste to follow the Lord. I want to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: spend a little more time than usual on the scripture
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: today because I want that to sink into your soul,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: sink into your spirit. Amen, it's my notes. So Jesus
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is far from a waste of time. And if you
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: have a personal relationship with the Lord, you know that already.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But it's some people who have some kind of religious experience,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: knowing about God, knowing about the Lord, knowing about Church,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: knowing about the Body of Christ, and they have this
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: idea that they have to do certain things to gain
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: access on to this Lord of lords and to this
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: king of king, the Lord Jesus yesshiahamashiak. They think you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: have to do this, that and the third, not realizing
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that what we're doing and experiencing right now as a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: born again believer, we're experiencing the finished work of the Lord,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: not the undone work of the Lord. We've experienced the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: finished work of the Lord. So instead of doing this
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and doing that and that's religion, why don't you settle
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for what God really has done through his son and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: experience the done work of the Lord. It's not a religion.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: This is a relationship. So Jesus is far from a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: waste of time. He offers us the most meaningful relationship
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: we can ever experience. Jesus himself said I am the Way,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the Truth, and the Life in John fourteen six, indicating
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that he is the source of true life. He is
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the source of true fulfillment. You want to be satisfied,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you want your soul to be satisfied. Follow God, the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: satisfier of your soul. Amen. Never wastes your time, never
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: wastes my time. He's always available, He's always there. He's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Jehovah Shama, the God who was there in your situation,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and a God who is there in my situation. Amazing
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: God that knows all of us, a man intimately pays
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: attention to us. Intimately, here's our cry right, seze our
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: needs and provides for every single one of those needs.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Trust in God. He's never a waste of time. Through him,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: we find purpose right because let's face it, before Jesus,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we didn't have a purpose. We didn't know our purpose.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We were lost. Jesus found us. We didn't find him.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: God found us. We didn't find God. And I know
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I say that sometimes out of habit, but technically and biblically,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: we didn't find God. God found us. We were lost.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: He was never lost. He's never lost. God knows exactly
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. He knows exactly where he is, he
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: knows exactly who he is. He knows exactly how to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: save us. Amen. He has the ultimate plan. He has
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a purpose for your life, and a purpose for my life,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and an ultimate plan for our lives. So through him
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we find purpose, identity, and peace. Identity is huge, especially
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in the culture we're living in where culture is trying
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to redefine identity, trying to redefine ethics, trying to redefine
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: what's good and what's bad, trying to redefine life and death,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: trying to redefine gender, redefine all kinds of things. That's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the culture, and the culture is going to do with
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the culture. Does I know we coin the frame as believers,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: culture wars and all that. I'm really not at war
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: with the culture, Amen. I'm at war with myself, my flesh,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: my own evil desires. And it's because of the draw
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of the world, the temptation of the world, not because
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of anything else. God is definitely not tempting me, He's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: not tempting you. There's a test of our faith going
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: on on a day to day. Haven't you noticed? Amen?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: You could be in any circle, any conversation and discuss
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: God and some people will be okay with that. Okay,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this person believes that there's a God. But as soon
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: as you bring up the name, yes youah, Jesus, the Messiah, oo,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: people get mad and they'll be like, hell, here we go.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You must be a Christian, so you must think that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Bible is real. You must think that Jesus is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Lord and King and God and Savior. You must think
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that you're living a life that is going to be
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a purpose. And they know where we're going. It's just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that they don't want to believe it. It's not that
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: they can't believe it. It's that they purpose in their
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: heart not to believe it. I know because I used
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to be that person. Amen. I knew there was a God.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know who he was, Amen, until he
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: met me where I was and now he's taken me
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to where he is. It's a journey, man, It's a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: beautiful journey as a matter of fact, and I'm not
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: ashamed of the gospel. Sister Juwayne, good morning, God bless you.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning. Devo. My sister. My friend
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: is Friday. So we're in authentic imitationology mood. This is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: episode one O five, and today we're calling this one
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: never a waste. So the relationship we have with Jesus
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: is not about religious rituals. I always said all the time,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: people are really cool with these religious traditions that they're
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: so accustomed to, and they're not even honest enough to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: realize that they're in a religious tradition that's actually null
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and void some systems that are null and void. As
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a born again believer. They want to bring Old Covenant
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: traditions and Old Covenant truth, which is truth. Right. I'm
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: not saying the Old Covenant is not the truth. And
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I know I'm always accused of people saying you want
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to always do away with the law and the Old Covenant.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I can't do that even if I wanted to. The
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Old Covenant is a prophecy of what the New Covenant
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: was going to fulfill. The Old Testament prophesied about the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: messide that was to come. He came, He born from
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a virgin, He lived thirty three and a half years,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: died on the cross, and rose again on the third day.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Is alive? Is sended to heaven, sent back one just
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: like him, Holy Spirit God, and promised his return. I know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: without the Old Covenant we wouldn't have the New Covenant.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I understand that. But a lot of traditions and systems
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and rituals. People who are holding onto for whatever reason,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: some laws, some laws. To hear what I'm saying, they're
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: still holding onto and now holding on to the tank commandments.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: They're just holding on to the certain law that will
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: benefit them amen, for whatever reason. But we're not under
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that anymore, not under that system anymore. And I could
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: prove to have a scripture, but I don't have time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I just want to read my notes, not about religious
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: rituals or obligations, but about experiencing His love and grace.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Love and grace. Now that grace, peace man is huge.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: People are actually thinking that they're getting away with a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. It's not that it's not that we're
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: getting away with anything. It's just the grace of God
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is so amazing that we're overlooking the obvious and the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: obvious is that the reason why God is not striking
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: people like he struck people in the Old Covenant, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: he commanded this to happen and commanded that to happen
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: because we're under grace. He's being patient with us, a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: man patient with you and patient with me. Right, Manuel says,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the Old Covenant was a tutor for things to come. Yes,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it's okay, amen, we understand. We need to understand what
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: came before, governant, so we could see it all in sotality.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: When Jesus spoke to the religious people of his time,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: he was referring to the Old Covenant. I mean, I'm
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: not going to deny that there was no new Covenant
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: out yet they and the disciples spoke about the Old
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Covenant often because they were dealing with people who were
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: still under that system, and they were introducing the new system,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God. So we have this, we have
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: these conversations to this every day, men, and there's people
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the fence. Every single day. He
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: invites us into a life of freedom where we are
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: no longer bound by guilt or fear. We could read
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that in Romans chapter eight, verses one and two. No
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: longer bound. We're not helpless, we're not hopeless. We're not
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: supposed to be afraid of everything that comes our way,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: especially when we have a God that will never waste
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: our time, a God who will never forsake us, leave
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: us abandoned, put us to shame, A God that wants
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: us to shun greed and the love of money. He
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't want us to love money. He wants us to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: love him. Remember, he doesn't force us to do any
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of it. But he shows himself and reveals himself to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: be a good God, so good that you realize that
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: there's no the reason not to serve him. Amen, No,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: all the reason not to believe him. There's no other
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: reason to think that he's wasting our time. Jesus is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: not a waste of time. He's never wasting our time,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: and he will never be a waste of time. God
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is good. He's faithful to his word, faithful to his promises,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: faithful to you, and faithful to me, a man, faithful
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to our family. He's a God of mercy and grace,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: love and truth. What else? What are you searching for?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: If you're not seeking love, Amen, then what are you seeking?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: If you're not seeking truth, then what he's seeking. And
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: if you're seeking true love, you'll find God. If you're
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: seeking truth on Jesus, Amen, And then you'll be inspired.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Once you get into a relationship with him, you'll be
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: inspired to move forward in the way he wants us
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to move a man according to his word, according to
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: his promises, according to his scripture. So I hope you're
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: encourage today. This is a new start, a new year. Amen.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Many people take it as a way to reset themselves
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and get back into the things that really matter. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that's okay. Amen. Let's plan to be more enthusiastic about
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: who God is in our lives. Let's plan to read
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the scriptures more, Amen, this year, and let's do it together. Man.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Let's be who's God called us to be. And we
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: are the bride of Christ. We are the body of Christ,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and we are the hope for this world. I know
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: they hate on us, but we are actually the hope
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: of this world because we have Holy Spirit, the hope
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of glory, which is the hope for this whole world. Amen,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: until the return of Jesus. So I hope you're encouraged.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Read Hebrews the chapter thirteen. Amen, for you yourself. And
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I got in here. Amen. Read
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Hebrews thirteen for yourself. That's where we were. We can't
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: fund a verse number five, but read the whole chapter
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and see whether I took it out of context or not.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But I believe the Lord will speak to you individually.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all, God keep you all, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace,
