• 4:03
  Speaker 1: get right into today's question and today's morning devo and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the word in the scripture that we have for it. Right, Father,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I thank you so much that even when we're experiencing frustration,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: even when we're going through things that life throws at us,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: whether it's finances, whether it's relationships, whether it's kids, whether
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's our own thinking, that you will help us all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the way through it. Lord God, thank you so much,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Lord God, for helping us, for guiding us, guarding us,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: protecting us, giving us hope and our future. Realizing that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Lord God, you are not there to hurt us or
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: harm us. You are there to give us a beautiful
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: life and abundant life according to your promises. Our Prelo God,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the peace of God over us, our Prelo God, that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we would use your wisdom to navigate this life, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that we would go through everything focused on You first,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and then move forward regardless of how it looks, regardless
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of how it feels. Regardless of what people are telling us,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we continue to stay forward, march, moving towards the goal
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that's marked out for each and in each and every
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: individual person that's listening and watching now, including myself, my family,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my wife, our children, our grandchildren, our relatives on both sides,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: all our friends. And I pray the same over every
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: single person that's listening and watching right now, that you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: reguard God to protect, that you would give health to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: our body, strength to our bones. As we move forward,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: whether or not things are looking like it's going in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: our favor, we know that we're in Christ, that things
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: work out for the good for those who love the Lord. Amen.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that you will continue to teach
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: us by way of your Holy Spirit, and that you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: will continue to just be You in us, and that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we will continue to be us in You by way
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. I pray this by faith, knowing that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you hear these prayers and your answer them according to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: every individual situation that we're calling upon Your name for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and Jesus Holy Name prays by faith and everyone who
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: agrees with the prayer, we say amen to that. Amen. Amen,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Brother Anthony, I see you, Bro God, bless you man,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you in the morning. Devo. Let's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go for it. I have a minute to share this out.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Help me share this out now. When we come back,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's morning Devo. I'll be right back, alright, alright,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: let's go for it, man, Let's go for it. The
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: word of God is amazing. The word of God is relevant.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: The Word of God is on time all the time.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Every time we read it, every time we apply it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: We see the word of God, which is the Lord,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: which is a living word of God working in your
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: life and in my life. I could see it, amen.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But life, man, life gets difficult sometimes, bro. Like I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: was brainstorming yesterday, I'm just I don't see things in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: front of me. So you start asking questions, Hey Lord,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: how is this gonna happen? When I'm looking at a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: screen and nothing is working the way it's supposed to work.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just giving a figurative example, and it could be frustrated.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So I say, you know what, if I'm dealing with frustration,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not the only one. Amen, So let me let
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: me go ahead and talk about how do you deal
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: with frustration. I'm gonna put it on the screen. Amen.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I think I fixed the issue with the cursor being
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on the screen. Amen. Probably people don't know talking about,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but it's like a tech issue that I was looking
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: at and I think I fixed it. Let's see. Let's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: see if I'm riding wrong. Amen, And let's go to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the first slide. If those who are listening ares one
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is with a z RG, Amen. Of course you're not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: gonna see what we're seeing, but I'm gonna read a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: word for word. Thank you so much for listening. If
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: it was up to me, I'll just do an audio
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: only it is up to me. But people like to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: see visuals as well, so I'm being respectful and mindful
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of those who like to see on what they're seeing
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: what they're reading. Amen. I like to hear more than
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I like to see. But it's all good. We got both.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: We got both covered, Amen, got both covered. So there
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it is. So I guess you still see the little blue,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but at least you don't see it. I don't think
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you see the curse. Nope. Yeah, So I think I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: did it right. Amen. So how do you deal with frustration?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Laising gentlemen? How do you deal with frustration? Let's go
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to the word. I'd like to give you my opinion.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: A man, let's go to the word. Proverbs twenty nine
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to eleven says, a short sighted fool always loses his
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: temper and displays his anger, but a wise man old
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: woman uses self control and holds it back. Now the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: self control part, how right? How are you going to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: have self control when you're short sighted? How are you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: going to have self control when you lose your temper
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and display anger? Think about it. This is now. I'm
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: not doing word players that. I'm just asking more questions.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: According to the scripture that's teaching us right now, this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is how you do it. Be wise, use self control
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and hold it back. Self control is actually a gift
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of God. It's part of the fruit of the spirit.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, self control, And that's not only with anger.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: That's what the whole lot of things. Amen. So I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: rely on the self control Holy Spirit working through me.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: So I figured, let me not leave it there, let
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: me not just make a comment on it. Let me
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: just show you Realatians chapters five versus twenty two and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Galatians five twenty two and twenty three says,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruits, not
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: fruits right, this kind of fruit in our lives. These
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: are the nine, the Holy nine that we have available
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to us. Love, which is God, Joy which is our strength,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the joy of the Lord, Peace, which only God gives,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this type of peace that the world can understand. Patience
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that God gives us, this gift of patience when it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: seems like everybody's in a rush to do X y Z.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Kindness even when people are not kind to us. Goodness
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: even when things are happening bad. Faithfulness, even when people
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: are unfaithful. God is always faithful, and he shows his faithfulness,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and we should have faith in Him, and we should
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: be faithful as well. Gentleness when things seem harsh in life,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and here it is. And self control. So we have
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: all of this. I have all of this. You have
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: all of this, Amen, We're just not realizing it sometimes.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I guess there is no law against these things, no law,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. There's no law. So we're not found
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: guilty in the court of law, whether it's a spiritual
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: law or a natural law, we're not found guilty. Amen.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So dealing with frustration is a thing. We deal with
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: it accordingly, at least we should be dealing it according
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to how the word wants us to deal with frustration. Like, man,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: so much right, you know what I'm saying. So much
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is going on in the world right now, and if
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we're not careful, we could fall into all kind of traps,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: all kind of old patterns. We could even fall into
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the pattern of this world. And man, the flesh is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all about getting us into a place where we go
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: back to our always, it's all about it. But we're moving,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: we're moving in a righteous path. We're moving forward, we're
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: moving together, Amen, and were moving different. The world doesn't
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: understand the way we move, but we move in that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: direction anyway. And if they're asked questions, Apostle Peter said,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we should give a reason for why we believe the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: way we believe, a reason for our hope, a reason
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for how we're moving in life, even when we're going
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: through frustration. Amen, doing okay over here, freelancer, Amen, we're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: trying our best and man, and when our best is
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: not good enough, God is good enough and he works
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: his best through us. Amen. So dealing with frustration could
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: cause patterns in our lives. Right, But we I'm not
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: gonna overlook frustration. Man, I'm not gonna overlook it. I'm
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not one of those people who play that how you
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: call it denial game and deny everything. Oh you know
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Lord this and the Lord that. Yes, the Lord is
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: all of that, Amen. But he knows when we're struggling.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: He knows when and when we're on the edge. He
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: knows when frustration is trying to win the day. He
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: knows when we're lacking something. What we tend to do
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: our old hearts will make us through things that our
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: new heart refuses to do. Our old way of thinking
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: will cause us to think thoughts that our new mind
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of Christ won't allow. Like we're being filtered out through
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the word. Amen. We're no longer bound to the old
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: things and the old patterns. We move accordingly. Amen. Amen.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your offer to optimize my videos, my friend. Amen,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. We could talk about that later.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Grow your YouTube channel, Amen. If that was one of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: my goals, Amen, I will be all over that right now.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But that's really not my goal to grow YouTube channel.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: My goal is to win souls. My goal is to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: spread the gospel. My goal is to share it to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: as many people as possible. Absolutely, Amen. But optimization right now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as far as I know, is following the algorithm, and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not following the algorithm. I'm going to give out
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a title right now that I'm gona preach this one
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: day anyway, but I'm gonna give out a title addicted
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to the algorithm. A lot of people are addicted to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the algorithm, which causes them to say and think and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to put up content that's popular. I don't put out
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: content as popular. I put out content that Holy Spirit
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: wants me to put out. So thank you, freelancer Monsheir
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Roman for the opportunity. Amen. And I hope and pray
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that you are blessed in your efforts, and that every
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: single person that you offer this to well, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: respect your offer, the city offer. And I pray that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you'll get people clients by way of what you're doing.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So thank you so much for the opportunity. So a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: fool gets full vent to his spirit, but a wise
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: man quietly holds it back quietly. Like you know, if
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I try to yell and scream, it doesn't even work.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: My voice doesn't even go that way no more. Back
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in the day, it's a yelling scream, but now I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: try to yell. It really doesn't work. So my tone
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: is always like like this. It could get a little louder,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's a little sterner, but I try maintain self control.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I was a very angry person back in the day.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not. I know people think I'm capping,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: but I was a very angry person, and I'm afraid
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of my own anger. So I try to maintain Amen,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I just come into the studio and just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: vent and ask God to help me right, because frustration
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: could cause you to do things that you will regret. Amen,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Brother Frank, God bless you and your family as well
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and everybody in the morning Devo. So Brother Frank sends
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the blessings to everyone that's listening on the radio as
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: well to the whole group. Brother Robert Diaz, Robbie Newmore,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and God bless you, my bro. Amen, it's good to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: see you in the morning, Devo. So practice patience and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: self control. Those are the fruit of the spirit. Right.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Self control is huge when it comes to being frustrated.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Frustration will make you open up that bag of potato
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: chips at two three in the morning. Frustration will make
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you eat that whole gallon or half a gallon or
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: pint of ice cream in the middle of the night.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Frustration will make you go to places that you shouldn't
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: be watch things on the screens that you shouldn't be watching.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So how do you deal with frustration? I dealing with
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I deal with it. I hide behind God and his
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: word because any other thing is going to cause me
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to do other things that will not benefit anything for me,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: my life, my wife, my family, or anyone for you.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: For me, it won't benefit Like the Bible is clear, right,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: we can do anything we want to do, respond any
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: way we want to respond, but not every way that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: we respond, and everything that we want to do will
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: be beneficial a man. So that's why we use wisdom,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and that's why we use the wisdom of God. That's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: why we was in Proverbs chapter twenty nine, verse eleven.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was right, Yeah, twenty nine to eleven.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: So we go to the scriptures. At least I go
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures. Amen, I said, Just you go to scriptures,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and something happens when you apply to scriptures in your life.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It's an amazing turn of events. You start seeing the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: peace of God, sensing the peace start getting more patience,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: self control will ramp up in your life. Amen, long suffering,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: what else? Joy the Lord? Amen, the nine, all of them.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: We have them all. And it's called the fruit, even
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: though it seems like things in there, but it's actually
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the fruit of the spirit, love, joy, Peace. Who wouldn't
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: want peace in your like I'm telling you, man, I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: say this over and over again. People could offer me
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars and say, well, you know you have
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to exchange. Yeah, I will give you this money, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna have peace. Hack to the no. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: love the peace of God. I'd rather have peace than
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a million dollars. I'm telling you. People think that's like exaggeration,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: knows not. Like peace is a beautiful thing to have,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: especially in the world full of on peace, unrest, unrighteousness,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: unholy people, peace, patience, kindness, it's good to be kind, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and self control. There's no law against it, the Bible says,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the Word of God says there's no law against that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: So we're blameless. Like if we operate that way a man,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: people say, oh, man, you don't know me. That's impossible.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: With God, all things are possible. You just said with me,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you can do all things according to His word and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: purpose for your life and for my life. But without him,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You're right, it's impossible. It's impossible. I've never seen the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: nine that we mentioned operate outside of a believer. I've
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: never seen it. If you've seen it, I've seen. I've
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: met people who are not believers with good morality. They kind, Amen.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: They don't have to give of eternal life. They don't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: have the abundant life that the Lord promise. What they're kind,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they're wise in their own ways. They separated themselves from
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the patterns of the world. So it's like they have
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: glimpses or they have little pieces of what a Christian
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: would be. Amen. But they're not serving the Lord. They're
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: serving whatever they created to be their master. Morality. Amen.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: But it's not morality. It's not what gets you into
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a place called heaven. Morality. It's not what saves you. Morality,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it's not what gives you the promises of God. Morality
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is not what helps you when you're frustrated. Amen. You
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: can't like even the government, you can't legislate morality, but
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you could legislate immorality. Think about it. Frustration comes. It's
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: like the cousin of anger. Frustration is the cousin of sin,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the cousin of pain, the cousin of anxiety, and the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: cousin of worry. Right, I guess frustration comes with its
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: own nine right to oppose the food of the spirit
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: in you and in me if you're born again, So
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: be careful how you deal with it. Man, I know theice.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody answer to how they deal with it. Some people
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: deal with it with alcohol, some people deal with it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: with drugs and addictive behaviors. Amen. Everybody gets frustrated once,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: one time or another in their life. Right, and when
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that happens in you or in me, we have choices
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to make, and hopefully those choices be the choices that
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the Lord offers us to make. He says, you could go,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the Lord to say you could go that way. You
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: know I love you. You can go whatever which way
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you want. But I believe that the Lord wants us
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to follow him. Jesus didn't say follow my principles, follow
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: my followers. He said follow me. And he didn't say
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: follow a religion. He didn't say follow a morality statement
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: or a pattern of a believer. He says, follow me,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: so as we follow in Christ. Frustration anger? What else? Guilt? Shame?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Frustration can lead to anger. Frustration can lead to hasty
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: decision making. Never make a decision, an important decision, while
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you're frustrated. Please don't do that. It's not gonna go well.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The Bible wants us to be patient and use wisdom
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: when we're responding to difficult situations. So I hope you
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: getting what I'm saying. In other words, shift your growth,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: shift your shift your focus, Amen, from what we don't
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: have to what God gave us. Amen, It's called gratitude.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Meditate on God's word. Believe in this word, Apply to word.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: How many times you heard me say that? Pray about
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the situation. Cast your cares on God? Why? Because God
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: cares for us? What else? Seek wise counsel. Thank you
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus that there's people who are wise, that use wisdom,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that are smarter than me, that are more more in
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: depth when it comes to the scriptures, and I could
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: actually speak to these people. Thank you Lord. Seek wise counsel,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and of course, worship and praise God through it all.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like doing it. Praise God. Faith is
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: not a feeling. Faith is not based on a feeling.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Do it anyway, praise and worship and take action and faith. Man,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: do something about it. You're frustrated, whatever the first, whatever's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: causing a frustration, do something about it. Tell somebody, have
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: somebody pray with you and agree with you. Amen. If
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that's me, I'll try my best. But we're in this together,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I'm not the superhero on the morning devo. Amen.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a man of God working things out accordingly, Amen,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and being mindful of what my decisions do for others
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and do for myself. So let's use wisdom my proverbs
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: for the chapter twenty nine. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Amen.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time, but listen. Thank you so much
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: for hanging out with me. Amen. This is like the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: way I start my day, Amen. Regardless of what's happening,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I trust and have faith and hope in the Word
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of God, the word that's in me, the word that's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: in you, Holy Spirit, God that's leading us into all truth.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And we just follow the path of righteousness. Man, you
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: know how we do it over here. So God bless
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you all, God keep you all, and remember always that
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: God he's good Man. Peace,
