• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo, we're gonna explore something. Just follow me for
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a minute. Trials, right, we all go through them. Trouble,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We all have it sometimes in our lives, sometimes too often.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And what happens when we go through those times in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: our lives? Most of the time, at least in my experience,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I questioned God, and people say, you're not supposed to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: question God. That's not good for you to question God.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And then I realized that they probably never read the scriptures,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: because all throughout the scriptures, the Bible right, Man of God,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Woman of God, prophets, disciples, kings. Everyone questioned God why
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because they knew that God had the answer. You're going
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to question somebody might as well question someone who you
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: know has the answer. But how about if I told
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you this? Howbo if I told you trials can be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: from God? Not everything is the devil's fault. Trials can
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: actually be from God. And we're going to talk about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that today in the morning. Devo. What feels like a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: delay or setback to us can be a divine strategy
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in God's plan, followed me. God doesn't waste hardship. He
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: uses it to spread his message, shape his servants, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: reach people who might not have been reached otherwise. When
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: people see a born again believer going through trial, tribulation, trouble,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when they see a Christian in hardship, people are looking
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: at us and seeing how are we going to respond? Truly,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we have the living, holy, righteous, loving God living within
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: us by way of Holy Spirit, we should respond differently
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: right and people are watching our every move. No pressure, though,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: because the moons that I make, the righteous moves that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I make, is because of the righteous One that lives
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: within me. And if you're born again. The moons that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you make, the righteous move that you make, is also
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: because Holy Spirit living inside of you. The same spirit
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that rose Jesus from the dead lives inside of us
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: his children, right, Royal priestct So listen, trials can be
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: from God. Not saying all trials come from God, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they can be from God and the devil. You know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: his mission is to kill, kill, steal, and destroy still killing, destroyer,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: however parts you want to put that in. That's his mission.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He doesn't do anything new but God, our Father yahweh yashiahamashiek,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit ruack elohem God, Amen, he does a new
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thing every day. Right, that's amazing. So it's the joy us.

• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you and your family as well in Jesus Holy name. Yes, yes,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,

  Speaker 1: see that. In the Book of Philippians, Chapter one, verse
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: number twelve. We're gonna pray first, after we pray, will
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: share this out for like sixty seconds for those who
• 4:04

  Speaker 1: having for that he meant as family from Little Mason
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and for the Rainmos family Erica Ramos a man. Updates
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: are available on social media A man and both families.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: God is doing no wonderful work. Both families we are praying,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and both families we're trusting and believing that God will
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: come through like he always does. Amen. So let's pray
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: after we pray sixty seconds, but share this out and

  Speaker 1: then on the other side of those sixty seconds we'll
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: get right into today's morning Devo. Father, I thank you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for the trials, although it might sound odd, and I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: thanking you for trouble. Thank you for trials. I know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that you, Lord God can be with it, be within
• 4:50

  Speaker 1: who knows it all. We pray Lord God, that you,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Lord God, will be glorified in the times of trouble,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that we would seek your face, seek your hand, know
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: your word, apply your word, and prepare ourselves and stay
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: prepared for your return. I pray, Lord God for our

  Speaker 1: to shine your light brightly on every single person's life.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God that anything that tries to distract

  Speaker 1: right now in the powerful name of Jesus. I thank you,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Lor God for today. I thank you for right now,
• 6:25

• 6:39
  Speaker 1: into today's morning Devo. I'll be right back. Many men,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so many groups, so little time, right. But God is good,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: His favor, his mercy is new every day, Amen, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: he continues to amaze me. What about you. God is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the God that promises whatever he promises are all yay
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and Amen. There's nothing that God cannot do. Thank you
• 8:19

  Speaker 1: Bible and prayers for sharing us out. Amen. Thank you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: so much for allowing us to be on your group
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: page as well. So let's get into it. We have
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of ground to cover, amen. But God is
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: faithful to his word and faithful to his time in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: our lives. Isn't it an amazing that the God who
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: sits outside of time. Thank you Team Jesus for sharing
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the God who sits outside of our time. Amen, he
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: comes and visits us in our time here. So God
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is good. Thank you Christian Bible Study for sharing this out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So many groups that allow me to share this out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I'm grateful. I don't take that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: for granted. Good morning, sister, join and I see you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to the morning.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Devote my sister and my friend. So I'm gonna put
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: this on the screen for those who are listening on
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: seller radio and on the podcast as well, or on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: YouTube or anything like that. Amen, you're gonna be listening
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: into what we're gonna read together. Amen, the scriptures, so
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna miss anything. I'm gonna try be this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: out so you could get the visual in your mind.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: God is trying to say to us and speak to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: us today like they don't know the scriptures, they don't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: know the God that we serve. Because God is always speaking. Amen.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He speaks to his word, he speaks to people, he
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: speaks to his apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He speaks, Amen.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And when he speaks, all we have to do literally
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is listen. Once we listen and be still, then we
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: apply what he acts of us or he's telling us. Amen,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and were learning. We're growing in Christ. We're gonna be
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: on a good path, a righteous path. A narrow path
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: could get long only sometimes, but it's the right it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the right way to go, the right path to be on. Amen.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But the wine I see you, Good morning, God, bless
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you as well, and everyone that's tuned in. My brother
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: one class sends a blessing to everybody that's with us today.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the blessing, my brow and my friend.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Let's see if I can get this on the screen.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Trials can be from God. Have you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: ever thought about that. I know a lot of people,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I used to do this a lot.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Everything was the devil, everything was a demon, and that's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: not true. Trials sometimes are allowed so that way God
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: can be glorified, and that God could show us a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: couple of things right about life, and that the people
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that are watching us, Amen, could learn how we respond
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: when things happen. Because we're living in the same world
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed that we were living
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in a broken world, a fallen world, a wall that,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a world that, if it's not because of God's grace,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: should be gone by now. Right, if it wasn't for
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a disgraced I should be going by now. But trials
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: can be from God, and we're going to see that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in his word and some notes that I took about it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Philippians, Chapter one, verse number
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: twelve says, now I want you to know, believers, see that,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: believers that, well, what has happened to me? This is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the Apostle Paul speaking from jail to believers, not to unbelievers,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but to believers. Now, I want you to know, believers
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that what has happened to me, This imprisonment that was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: meant to stop me, has actually served to advance the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: spread of the good news regarding salvation. So although the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: people of Apostle Paul's time was like, we're gonna lock
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you up because you're doing too much. It's pre you're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: preaching too much, he's spreading this gospel too much. They
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: locked them up as if that was going to stop
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Apostle Paul's mission, as if that was going to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: stop the gospel from advancing, as if that was gonna
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: make him like, okay, stop believing in the Lord Jesus. No,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Apostle Paul saying, listen, what happened to me and what
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he is going through? That imprisonment was meant to stop him. Right,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You don't go to prison to have a party. You
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: go to prison nto be locked down and they're accusing
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you of something or they say that you're guilty of something.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So now you're behind bars, you're in prison. But Apostle
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Paul saw past that. He said, what they try to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do to me actually served him, served him to advance
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the good news, the spread of the gospel regarding salvation,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: regarding the Lord who saves. Amazing Right, how God could
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: take a trial and use it for his glory. How
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: God could get us through things, even though we find
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: ourselves in sometimes in positions that we shouldn't be or
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: we don't want to be. God could use that very
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: own thing, that very same thing to advance his message,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to advance His kingdom for the sake of others. Amen.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So it's an honor, actually, if you think about it,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it is an honor to serve through trials. It's an
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: honor to go through things knowing that God is with us. Amen.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So the joy says, Amen. Many are the afflictions of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the righteous, but God has delivered us out of them
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: all Psalms, Chapter thirty four and nineteen. Thank you for
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the scripture. Yes, many of all the afflictions. We're built
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: for this, We're built for trouble. People will be like, well,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I thought you'd get Christians. Well, people of peace we are.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: We're peacemakers. The Bible says, blessed are the peacemakers. Right,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But what happens when you want peace? If you want peace,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that means this chaos going on somewhere else. It might
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: be chaos going on in your family, chaos going on
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in your workplace, chas going on in your school, chaos
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: going on in your neighborhood. A men, But we're the peacemakers, peacemakers,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and we're blessed because of it. We're blessed because we're peacemakers.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They mad, accord. I mean, I'm not making this up.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: God is good all the time. So let me make it
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to my notes, because trials couldn't be from God, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I can't say all trials are from God. I'm just saying,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: according to what I'm seeing through the Apostle, according to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm seeing through the scriptures. God could turn what
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: seems to be bad in our lives, or maybe is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: bad our lives. He could turn what people meant for evil.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: He could turn around for good. And man, we saw
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that the other day with Joseph and Joseph's life, his
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: own brothers sold him into slavery. He got accused of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: trying to sleep with a woman that was set the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: boss's wife, pretty much got accused, put in prison, right
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: falsely accused, And that same Joseph was used to save
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a nation from famine. That same Jesus was used to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: show the mercy and forgiveness of God to his own family,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to his own brothers. So God can use trials to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: advance his mission here on this side of eternity. What
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: feels like a delay right or setback to us, that's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: what it feels like. But to God it could be
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a divine strategy in God's plan. God's plan is perfect.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Our plans, by ourselves and our own strength, are not perfect.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of plans, Amen, and some of
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: them I have achieved. Some of them are still out
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: there lingering, and some of them are starting to wonder
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: this is from God of not Amen. Because we're human
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we can't see too far. But in Christ right, we
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: see further further down the line. You ever got prophesied
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: over and the prophecy came to pass. Next time my
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: prophet comes, you'll be like, I'm going to listen closely,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: more closely than I listen to the other prophet, because prophecy, Amen,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: propels us forward into knowing that there's something coming. And
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes those prophecies are warnings. A man look at the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: scriptures for itself and an old covenant. A lot of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: those prophets were warning the people of God, saying, listen,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: if you go that way, it's it's not gonna be good.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: If you're continuing that kind of behavior is not going
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to be good. So we need to take heed. We
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: need to listen to the prophets of God. Amen. We
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: need to listen to his word. We need to be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: obedient to his word, Amen, and we need to trust
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: in his word. But the man, well, I see you, God,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: bless you, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the one to deal with my brother and my friend,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: so he could use our trials right to spread his message.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And when he spreads his message by using you and me,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it actually shapes our faith as his servant. Amen, I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: think the most honorable thing is to be a servant
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of the most high God. Amen, to serve Jesus, To
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: serve the Lord, to serve according to his will, his
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: perfect plan and his purpose, which is his will, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: his will is his work. Amen. To be used that way,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think is a high honor. Amen. And you could
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: sense that other people are being transformed and renewed and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: restored and redeemed and saved because of our obedience to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: what God's word is speaking through us. Right. I don't
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: get it right all the time. I don't even have
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about that too long because everyone that's listening
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: or watching, we know that we fail sometimes, but we
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: also know that God never failed us. If you have
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a personal intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus, be honest
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: ask yourself this question. Has Jesus ever failed you? And
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: some people might be upset right now because something is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: not going their way. Some people might be questioning, God,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: why would you allow X, Y and Z to happen
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to my family, to me, to my finances, to our relationship,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to our children. Right, why the question comes up a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: lot because we don't know, and that limits us. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: then we take our question to the limitless God, all
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: knowing God or all loving God, a God full of power, mercy,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: grace and love. Then we're going somewhere. Right, Manuel says,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a prophet speaks correction and warning to God's people. Yes. Amen.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Discerning the times, Manuell said, so he could use trials
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in our life, my life, and in your life to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: spread his divine message. His divine purpose will be victorious.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: God's word never returns to him void. Amen. If we're
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: not allowing him to speak through us, he'll speak through
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: someone else. If I'm not allowing God to work through
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: my life, he'll work through somebody else's life. God is
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: still on the rescue mission. Jesus is coming back. So
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the message before Jesus comes back return is the gospel
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: message of the good News, a man for people's souls
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to be saved and be ready and prepared for eternal
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: life with God. God wishes that none should perish. The
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Lord wishes that none should perish, but everyone come to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a saving knowledge of who he is and what he
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: has done. That means eyes need to be open, ears
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: need to be opened, and men hearts need to be opened. Right,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: this is a salvation message. God is still on mission
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and God's people should be on the same mission to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: preach the Gospel, expand the Kingdom of God. We're not
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: building the Kingdom of God. I know we say that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in communities a lot, that we're building the Kingdom of God,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: but technically we cannot build the Kingdom of God. No
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: human hand can build the Kingdom of God. I know
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: what people are saying, but I think they need to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: really kind of like focus on what the scriptures say
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that we're advancing the Kingdom the Gospel message. We're going
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: throughout the world preaching the Gospel message, baptizing people the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Ghosts and making disciples and disciples make disciples, and that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: how the message advances. That's how the Kingdom advances, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that's how the Salvation message goes throughout the earth through people.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Writ Who would ever thunk it that God could use
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: us to preach his gospel. Amen, that's an honor man.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Weel says, we now see as in a mirror, a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: poor reflection of ourselves. God does things in our lives
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to help develop us. Yes, Amen, because we can't see far,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: except for we can't see far enough. Amen. We have
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to know where we're going. And if we don't know
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: where we're going, that means we're in the dark. But
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: when we have the light of Christ shining and leading
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the way, we could see further and we could see
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: where we're going. People in the dark, having you noticed
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that they don't know where they're going, they don't know
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: their identity, they're void of life, and you know they're
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: doing their own thing. They're just following the other pack
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that's leading to destruction and men, we need to be
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: in prayer for those people as well. See that everywhere
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: outside the church and inside the church, we need to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: be mindful. We need to be a people of grace, Amen,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because we know that we've gone through trials, and we
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: might be going through a trial right now. But sometimes
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: God could use that very same trial to lead people
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to His kingdom. Right. Trials and trouble are attracting people.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: If I came online today and I told you some
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: bad news and this happened, and that happened that was bad.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I'll get a lot more viewers just just the way
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: humanity is. We're attracted to things that are bad for
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: whatever reason. Guess it's the flesh, I guess, the pride
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of life, less of the eyes. I guess it's the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: world's system. It attracts people. That's why when I see
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: ministries that are followed by all these worldly people and systems,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, well, either that's from God or it's not. Amen,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Because last time I checked, we are hated. They hate us.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: The world system hates us, but they hated Jesus first.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Remember that. I don't think that we're just being hated
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: on for know a parent reason, being hated on because
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: they hated Jesus first. Amen. Manuel says, building the Kingdom
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of God is about spiritual principles, yes, Amen, not worldly things.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So God knows our hearts right, He knows where we
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: want to be, he knows what we need, he knows
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: what we want, and he responds accornerly. Even in the trials.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what trial you might be facing today,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: or what you have been facing on during the week,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: or maybe you have just got out of a trial,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: hadn't testified and tell people how God got you through
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the trial. It's amazing and it's sobering to know that
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: even as saints, as believers in the Lord, children of God,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: born again believers, we still go through trials and tribulations.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And it actually confirms Jesus's promise that we will go
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: through trial in this world. He says we will have
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: trials and tribulations. But he didn't leave us there and say, okay,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: go and worry. He didn't tell us that. He didn't say, okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: go and figure it out yourself. No, he didn't tell
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: us that. He said, be of good cheer. Amen. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I believe when God says be something or do something,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: those are commands. Be of good cheer. Why, Because he's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: overcome the world's system, been there, done that. The problems
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and trials of the whole entire planet were placed on
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and he conquered those things. He nailed those
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: things to the cross. He allowed himself to be the living,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: holy sacrifice of God. And he's actually a sacrifice of God.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: He's also the completion of God because Jesus completed the prophecies.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Jesus completes the law. Amen. And he is the one
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that is the salvation of God. He's a savior, Amen
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of the world. And through him we gain access into
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the heavenly throne of grace. We overcome by the testimonies
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of our mouth. Yes, satisfied. Let somebody know. Listen, people
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: are watching you anyway. They say, Oh, man, Sam is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: having a bad week, he's having a hard day. Man well,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: or Joyce, Joanne or anybody that's on him. Wand Amen,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: when we're having bad days, guess what people are watching.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: They're watching out every single move. Because we already proclaimed
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and declared and told people and admitted to people that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: we're born again. We're believers in Christ. So when they
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: see us going through a trial, when they see us
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: going through a tribulation, when they see us lose loved ones,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: when they see us not financially right, when they see
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: us in our relationships that get a little rocky. Sometimes
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: they want to know how we respond because they're wanting
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to know how the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit God, that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: who's living inside of us is gonna move in us
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and through us. Amen. Understanding God, Manuel says must be
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: contrary to our natural way of thinking. Why because our
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: way of thinking is not the way God thinks. His
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: ways are not like our ways, His thoughts are not
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: like our thoughts. So that's why he's a high being,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: eternal being, Amen. And we need to follow his lead
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to that promised land. Amen, that he's promised us. We
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: would know them by their fruit. Yes, a good tree
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: should produce good fruit, but a rotten tree will really
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: form out rotten fruit. Amen. And we would know them
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: by that, Thank you, Manuell. So if you feel like
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you're set back or delayed, Amen, think about it, pray
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: about it. Know that God is with you. Amen. If
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you don't have a relationship with the Lord, it could
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: be very well be the enemy, right, it could very
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: well be your own evil, sinful desires. But if you
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have a relationship with God and you're like, why is
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: this all happening all at one time? Why am I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: going through X Y Z Amen? You need to acquire
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. Need to ask the Lord questions. Amen.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Go into the prayer closet, surround yourself with other believers.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Surround yourself with people who have been through some life experiences. Amen.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And they could tell you a couple of things and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: through their experience and of course, if they're not directing
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: you towards the word, just be mindful of that as well,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and be careful. People need to be speaking word. We
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: need to be speaking the word towards one another. God.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Bless you, brother Frank, bless you, brother Sam and your family.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Just walked into work. Missed you your devo this morning.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Love you, love you to my fro, my bro, my friend,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I said, my fro, my brother and my friend. Amen,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a little flustered this morning, haven't you told? Can't
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: you tell? I woke up suddenly when the dog was
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: barked barking earlier, and I'm just like a little wired
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: right now, a little different. Amen. I'm trying to speak, man, well,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: trying to speak. Prayer is good, Emanuel comesel I still God,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: bless you, good morning. God bless you as well. Keep
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: proclaiming the word. God is faithful. Yes, he is faithful,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and he is true to his word and to his promises. Amen.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: So even in our trials, Amen, God is still with us.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: He would never leave us nor forsake us. So depend
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on God through it all. Asks. How can I glorify
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: God here wherever that here is, whatever trial you're going
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: through instead of why me, ask God, how can he
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: use me through this? Amen? To show other people His glory. Amen,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: my brother, you are bringing this word this morning. Amen,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: but I'm out of time. Thank you so much for listening.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Giving me a listening and go to the Word Philippians
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: chapter Where were We Philippians one verse number twelve. Read
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself to see what God was
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: speaking through the apostle Paul, who was inspired by Waka
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: oheed the Holy Spirit of God some out of time. God,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: bless you all, God keep you all, and remember always
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that God is good. Peace,
