0:03
Speaker 1: Morning family, Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
0:05
Speaker 1: the morning DeVos. You bro, Sam Lopez. I got up
0:08
Speaker 1: this really I realized. I looked out the window. I
0:10
Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, snowed in my area. So I'm like,
0:13
Speaker 1: oh uh oh shoveling time it is, Amen. But we'll
0:18
Speaker 1: worry about that later. Right now, we're in a studio,
0:22
Speaker 1: a man, thank you Jesus. You know it's a warm
0:25
Speaker 1: studio and we're here. We're here together. Amen. The most
0:28
Speaker 1: important thing is that we know that God is the truth.
0:33
Speaker 1: And I decided because of a discussion I had last night.
0:37
Speaker 1: I realized that there's still the debate about what truth is,
0:43
Speaker 1: and I think that's always going to be around until
0:46
Speaker 1: the lawder cracks open the sky and people realize that
0:50
Speaker 1: whatever idea they had about truth, they didn't realize that
0:54
Speaker 1: Jesus is the truth. Amen. So today the question is
0:59
Speaker 1: how do I know what truth is? How do I
1:03
Speaker 1: know what truth is? Amen? Today in the morning devo.
1:07
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wow, this is a great topic, good discussion,
1:11
Speaker 1: and the verse that we have, I believe is a
1:13
Speaker 1: great verse for a morning devotion. So we get into
1:17
Speaker 1: it today. Sis to Joanne, I see you. Good morning,
1:19
Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome back to the Morning Devo. So
1:23
Speaker 1: let me get to my notes real quick. How do
1:26
Speaker 1: I know what truth is? Right? I know this is
1:29
Speaker 1: a loaded question, loaded discussion. A member, we have some
1:34
Speaker 1: time right to share more and devo together. The Word
1:38
Speaker 1: of God is the source of truth. So we believe
1:42
Speaker 1: that and we know that. Amen. We don't have to
1:44
Speaker 1: search everywhere in the universe to look for truth when
1:48
Speaker 1: we have the source, which is God's word. The scriptures
1:52
Speaker 1: provide us with a reliable foundation. The scriptures are reliable.
1:56
Speaker 1: It's not that we have an unreliable source to find truth.
2:00
Speaker 1: We have a reliable source where we found truth. We're
2:04
Speaker 1: gonna be in John seventeen seventeen. We're gonna let the
2:07
Speaker 1: Lord speak today, Amen, through the scriptures on today's Morning Devo.
2:11
Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
2:14
Speaker 1: please don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat.
2:17
Speaker 1: If you're listening on a platform where we're streaming this,
2:20
Speaker 1: there should be a way to connect with us somehow someway. Amen.
2:24
Speaker 1: If all else fails, you could always go to Soul
2:25
Speaker 1: Winners with a z dot org or live that so
2:29
Speaker 1: winners with a z dot org and connect with us
2:31
Speaker 1: on the websites. So we're here, so let's pray first.
2:34
Speaker 1: After we pray, we'll shared this out for like sixty seconds,
2:37
Speaker 1: and when we come back on the other side of
2:39
Speaker 1: the sixty a man will get right into today's morning devo.
2:43
Speaker 1: How do I know what truth is? Amen, Let's go
2:47
Speaker 1: for it. Father. I thank you that you are the way,
2:50
Speaker 1: the truth, and the life, and no one comes to
2:54
Speaker 1: the Father except by you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Father
2:57
Speaker 1: for revealing that truth to us and the remonstrating your
3:00
Speaker 1: truth so many years ago when you went to the cross,
3:05
Speaker 1: conquered the grave, rose on the third day offers us.
3:08
Speaker 1: It offered us eternal life and a promise that you're
3:11
Speaker 1: coming back. And on top of it all, you sent
3:14
Speaker 1: one spirit just like you to live within us until
3:19
Speaker 1: that day that you crack open the sky. Thank you,
3:22
Speaker 1: Lord God for your provision. Thank you, Lord God for
3:25
Speaker 1: holiness that's available and your righteousness. Thank you, Lord God
3:29
Speaker 1: for guiding, guarding and protecting us. Thank you, Lord Jesus
3:32
Speaker 1: for everything you're doing in our lives. I pray, Lord
3:35
Speaker 1: God that if someone right now does not know you
3:39
Speaker 1: during this time during the session, that we'll get to
3:41
Speaker 1: know you personally. I have a personal relationship with you,
3:44
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, by way of your word, by way of
3:46
Speaker 1: your Holy Spirit, by way of this devotion, however you
3:49
Speaker 1: want to do it, Lo God, that you will reveal
3:51
Speaker 1: yourself to those who are seeking truth, and then you
3:54
Speaker 1: will show up. I pray low God, that you would
3:57
Speaker 1: continue to protect me and my family, our children, our grandchildren,
4:02
Speaker 1: our relationships on both sides of our family, our family members,
4:05
Speaker 1: our bloodline, and that you would do the same for
4:08
Speaker 1: every single person that's listening and watching right now. That
4:10
Speaker 1: you would dispatch your arquing angels and minister angels to
4:14
Speaker 1: do your bidding. And that we know that you have
4:17
Speaker 1: the very best plan and the ultimate perfect plan for
4:20
Speaker 1: our lives, and we want to follow your plan and
4:23
Speaker 1: not follow the world any longer. I pray by faith
4:25
Speaker 1: that you will continue to mold us and continue to
4:28
Speaker 1: create in us the newness of life, that everyone can
4:32
Speaker 1: see the power of your glory and Jesus Holy Name.
4:35
Speaker 1: We pray it this us by faith, and all those
4:37
Speaker 1: who agree, we say amen to the amen. So help
4:40
Speaker 1: me shut us out. Sixty seconds will share it out
4:42
Speaker 1: to as many people as possible, and when we come back,
4:45
Speaker 1: we'll get right into John chapter seventeen, verse seventeen.
4:48
Speaker 2: Our very back, amen.
6:49
Speaker 1: And man, we're back a lot of groups. I'm sharing
6:51
Speaker 1: to men and God is faithful. What does that say?
6:54
Speaker 1: Error making a lookal recording? Ain't man, sorry about that?
6:57
Speaker 1: Let me go get out of out of every But
7:01
Speaker 1: we're going to go for it anyway. Amen, So let's
7:03
Speaker 1: go for it. So let's see what the Word has
7:06
Speaker 1: for today. And I'm gonna explain the cover that I
7:11
Speaker 1: put that I created for this morning devo. Amen. I'm
7:14
Speaker 1: going to explain it. I think in needs explanations. I amen.
7:18
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you right now why let's look
7:22
Speaker 1: at it. For those who are just listening, thank you
7:24
Speaker 1: so much for listening and tuning in on Soul Winners
7:26
Speaker 1: with a z dot Org the cell out Radio Network,
7:29
Speaker 1: the Lehigh Valley's number one urban gospel music station. We've
7:32
Speaker 1: been online since two thousand and eight. I'm gonna read
7:35
Speaker 1: it word for words so that way you won't miss
7:36
Speaker 1: a beat of what we're watching on the live stream.
7:40
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. The reason why I put
7:44
Speaker 1: a butterfly here it represents transformation. Right. When you know
7:50
Speaker 1: the truth, the truth will transform our lives. Amen. You
7:54
Speaker 1: go from your starting point to the ultimate point. Right.
7:59
Speaker 1: So butterflies not butterflies. They don't look like this when
8:02
Speaker 1: they're coming, to be right, they're in a cocoon. They're
8:06
Speaker 1: in this and that, and then they transform metamorphosis, amen,
8:10
Speaker 1: into who they really are, into what they really are. Amen.
8:15
Speaker 1: And I believe that's what happens when we find the truth,
8:18
Speaker 1: or God finds us. He is the truth, amen, and
8:21
Speaker 1: he gives us this revelation of what truth is. That's
8:24
Speaker 1: why I put that there. Amen. I hope that makes
8:26
Speaker 1: sense to people visually. So let's go for it. The
8:30
Speaker 1: Bible says in John seventeen seventeen, the Lord says, and
8:34
Speaker 1: in his prayer he says, sanctified, sanctify them in the truth.
8:38
Speaker 1: That word sanctified means set them apart for your holy purposes,
8:44
Speaker 1: make them holy. Your word is truth. So there you go,
8:49
Speaker 1: a quick short answer to a power pack question. What
8:56
Speaker 1: is the truth? God's word is the truth? This God's
9:00
Speaker 1: word Jesus is the living word of God. Man. This
9:05
Speaker 1: is not no wordplay. If you think I'm playing games
9:07
Speaker 1: it's the Lord speaking. I'm not taking this out of context.
9:10
Speaker 1: If you think I am, you can read the whole
9:12
Speaker 1: chapter John seventeen. Sanctify them in the truth. So, in
9:18
Speaker 1: other words, sanctify us in Jesus. Set us apart for
9:22
Speaker 1: Jesus's purposes, which you are holy. So when Jesus is holy,
9:27
Speaker 1: he says, we are holy, make them holy. Your word
9:31
Speaker 1: is truth? Amen, very short and quick answer to a
9:37
Speaker 1: very packed question. How do I know what truth is?
9:39
Speaker 1: The word is truth? A man, brother, Frank, God, bless you,
9:42
Speaker 1: good morning. God bless you in a family as well.
9:45
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming through. So there you go,
9:49
Speaker 1: spoil alert, right. But the thing is there's more to it.
9:53
Speaker 1: Jesus doesn't leave us like that. It's not like a riddle.
9:57
Speaker 1: We don't have to figure things out and put things together. No,
10:00
Speaker 1: he talks to us plain, especially in these last days.
10:04
Speaker 1: He's speaking to us more plainly than ever before. Right,
10:08
Speaker 1: or we're coming to realization of how plain he's speaking
10:12
Speaker 1: to us. Let me go to my notes so I
10:14
Speaker 1: don't want to start preaching and get too excited and
10:17
Speaker 1: forget the point here. The point is that when you
10:21
Speaker 1: have a discussion about truth, We always have people saying
10:25
Speaker 1: that's your truth and this is my truth, and I
10:28
Speaker 1: always say, no, it's not about my truth, and your
10:30
Speaker 1: truth is about the truth. The truth has been around before,
10:33
Speaker 1: We've been around. And people try to go back, back
10:37
Speaker 1: and back and back, and I get it. There's so
10:39
Speaker 1: many writings of civilizations before Jesus, before Christianity and all that,
10:45
Speaker 1: and they try to go back and back and back
10:47
Speaker 1: to make them feel or to make them try to
10:51
Speaker 1: be superior in their belief over a Christian. It's unauthenticated information,
11:00
Speaker 1: like where's the source from the source? And the source, well,
11:03
Speaker 1: the source is the truth, and the truth is the Word,
11:06
Speaker 1: and the Word is Jesus, Amen. Regardless of when they
11:10
Speaker 1: find writings before Christianity. There's a lot of things happen
11:14
Speaker 1: before Christianity. As a matter of fact, Jesus didn't die
11:18
Speaker 1: to start Christianity. We would call Christians derogatorily. People were
11:22
Speaker 1: making fun of the one hundred and twenty that came
11:25
Speaker 1: down fire filled with Holy Spirit God, and they said
11:29
Speaker 1: those Christians, aren't you Christians? And it was something like
11:32
Speaker 1: that was not a compliment at the time. It was
11:35
Speaker 1: something that the people at the time were saying, yeah,
11:37
Speaker 1: you must have been one of those that were following Jesus.
11:41
Speaker 1: And to this very day there's still people, including myself,
11:44
Speaker 1: from Jesus. So if you want to call them a Christian,
11:46
Speaker 1: good right ahead, Amen, I'll have no problem with that.
11:49
Speaker 1: I know where my allegiance is. Who's my God, who's
11:54
Speaker 1: my Savior? I know it all, Amen. I don't know
11:56
Speaker 1: about him all. I know who I am in him.
11:59
Speaker 1: Say amen, I don't know all things. God knows all things,
12:03
Speaker 1: and I'm just working through him. He's working through me.
12:06
Speaker 1: Excuse me, amen, I'm sorry. I'm looking the other way
12:09
Speaker 1: and making sure everything's running here. So that's where we're
12:12
Speaker 1: at and what happens to my notes? Man, here we go.
12:19
Speaker 1: So understanding the truth from a Christian perspective is different
12:24
Speaker 1: than understanding the truth from a worldly belief system or
12:29
Speaker 1: a system other than everyone has their truth, right. That's
12:33
Speaker 1: the new it's not even new. It's a mantra. It's
12:36
Speaker 1: something that people take pride in. So it's to me
12:41
Speaker 1: and my opinion is escapism. No one wants to deal
12:44
Speaker 1: with the source of truth. People want to deal with information,
12:48
Speaker 1: and we have a ton of information, especially in the
12:50
Speaker 1: AI age. Welcome to that age of artificial intelligence. Well,
12:56
Speaker 1: instead of going to artificial intelligence, why don't you try
12:59
Speaker 1: to go into the source of intelligence, period, which is
13:04
Speaker 1: the word, which is Jesus, which is God. So understanding
13:08
Speaker 1: truth from a Christian perspective, listen to this involves recognizing
13:12
Speaker 1: that Jesus himself is the embodiment of truth. The truth
13:18
Speaker 1: is a person. The person is Jesus. Jesus is the Way,
13:22
Speaker 1: the Truth, and the life. When he says that statement,
13:26
Speaker 1: it blows everybody out the water and people get angry.
13:30
Speaker 1: How dare Jesus say that he's the truth? Amen, he
13:36
Speaker 1: said it, So let's deal with it. Amen, morning brother Carlos,
13:40
Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you as well. It's good to
13:41
Speaker 1: see you on the morning. Deal with my broke. So,
13:44
Speaker 1: when Jesus spoke that in John fourteen six, by the
13:47
Speaker 1: way he said it, I am the Way, the Truth
13:49
Speaker 1: and the Life. He meant that the truth is not
13:53
Speaker 1: just a concept or construct, It's a person. That's what
13:59
Speaker 1: Jesus is saying. So when he said this and made
14:02
Speaker 1: this statement for all eternity, rocked all everybody's thinking pattern.
14:06
Speaker 1: I said, wait, I thought the truth was a matter
14:10
Speaker 1: of opinion, I thought the truth was a matter of
14:12
Speaker 1: construct or imagination. I thought the truth was what I
14:16
Speaker 1: believe or what you believe. Knowing Jesus shows us says no,
14:19
Speaker 1: I am the truth. Amen. So now the issue is
14:23
Speaker 1: people are narrowing it down to one person, and people
14:25
Speaker 1: don't like that. A lot of people. I just had
14:28
Speaker 1: a discussion and the person doesn't like the fact that
14:31
Speaker 1: we're trying to narrow it down to one person. Well,
14:35
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. The Lord himself did that. He
14:38
Speaker 1: made himself exclusive. As a matter of fact, truth by
14:42
Speaker 1: definition is exclusive. Think about it, I have an exclusive
14:47
Speaker 1: claim to make Jesus is the truth. Well, Jesus said it.
14:51
Speaker 1: I'm just repeating what he said. If you say that's
14:55
Speaker 1: not true, you're actually making a truth claim. You're making
14:59
Speaker 1: exclusive claim as well. So this could go back and forth,
15:03
Speaker 1: back and forth. But we ain't got time for that.
15:04
Speaker 1: Right over here in the Morning Devo, we want to
15:07
Speaker 1: know what the scriptures say, and Madam will take it
15:09
Speaker 1: from there. PAULA Bailey Jones, Good morning, God bless you.
15:13
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Devo. So listen, Jesus Christ is
15:17
Speaker 1: the truth. So the truth is a person according to
15:20
Speaker 1: the Christian perspective. Now, I respect people's perspectives. I'll listen, right,
15:25
Speaker 1: but I'll start asking a lot of questions when I
15:28
Speaker 1: see that things are going a little weird. Right. Our
15:31
Speaker 1: belief system to many people, as a christ follower, is weird.
15:35
Speaker 1: But I've heard other belief systems that to me is weird.
15:38
Speaker 1: But if we have a dialogue and respect one another,
15:41
Speaker 1: listen towards to one another, Amen, we'll come to where
15:45
Speaker 1: we're going. Amen, will come to a conclusion to it all.
15:48
Speaker 1: The Bible also teaches that's why Jesus didn't just make
15:51
Speaker 1: that claim in John seventeen seventeen and just say I
15:54
Speaker 1: said it, forget about it. He didn't make his claim
15:57
Speaker 1: in John fourteen six and say I said it, forget
16:00
Speaker 1: everything else. You know, he kept on going with it.
16:03
Speaker 1: The Bible also teaches that the Holy Spirit guides us
16:07
Speaker 1: listen to this into all truth. So how much truth
16:11
Speaker 1: is there? Well, God is all truth, and it's only
16:14
Speaker 1: one truth last time I checked. I mean, how many
16:17
Speaker 1: truths are there? If you think about it, John sixteen thirteen.
16:22
Speaker 1: Jesus promises that the spirit of truth will lead us
16:26
Speaker 1: into all truth. So the truth is a person, the
16:30
Speaker 1: truth is a spirit. This guy's really good. Amen as
16:35
Speaker 1: a perspective of learning what truth is. Amen. So the
16:42
Speaker 1: spirit of truth will lead us into all truth. That
16:46
Speaker 1: means all believers that have the Holy Spirit within us,
16:53
Speaker 1: we're being helped to discern and understand the truth in
16:56
Speaker 1: our daily lives. Maybe that's what people mean, Oh that's
16:59
Speaker 1: your truth. Well, we have the truth in us, living, breathing, guiding, guarding, protecting,
17:05
Speaker 1: reminding us of the Word. His name is Holy Spirit. Man.
17:09
Speaker 1: Welcome to the world of a Christian. We have an
17:14
Speaker 1: inner person living within us, guiding us into all truth.
17:22
Speaker 1: He says, he's the way the truth in the life.
17:25
Speaker 1: So we're not following in different directions. We're going in
17:28
Speaker 1: one path. And again, people don't like that. People don't
17:32
Speaker 1: like that we're on a narrow world. People don't like
17:35
Speaker 1: that we're just focused on Christ. People don't like They
17:38
Speaker 1: always say, why don't you follow other religions or why
17:41
Speaker 1: don't you study other religions? Compared. I literally had a
17:45
Speaker 1: person the other day tell me that they literally literally
17:49
Speaker 1: that they and I think they really believe in themselves,
17:52
Speaker 1: studied all the religions in the world. And I was like,
17:55
Speaker 1: I looked at like I was a little sarcristic. I
17:57
Speaker 1: looked at the box the man, you have all that
18:00
Speaker 1: time to do that, because there's thousands upon thousands upon
18:03
Speaker 1: thousands of religions in the world, And this person said,
18:06
Speaker 1: they study them all and compare them all. Like wow,
18:10
Speaker 1: what a claim. That's a that's a claim. So Christ's followers,
18:15
Speaker 1: once we know the truth, and we find it in Jesus,
18:18
Speaker 1: we find it in the word. I don't think it's necessary.
18:21
Speaker 1: I mean, you could make comparisons if you want, But
18:24
Speaker 1: once you're on a truth path on why would you
18:27
Speaker 1: go on other paths knowing that you already have the truth.
18:31
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a decision you have to make. I
18:32
Speaker 1: have to make this decision every day. I want to
18:36
Speaker 1: study some other religions. To have time for that in
18:39
Speaker 1: my life, I'm so busy. I really don't have time.
18:42
Speaker 1: I know about other religions. Trust me, I've done studying
18:46
Speaker 1: before I was saved. In the past, I wanted to
18:49
Speaker 1: know what was the right path for me, just like
18:52
Speaker 1: you want to know what's the right path for you.
18:55
Speaker 1: It's okay, I mean right, especially when people are truth claims,
19:00
Speaker 1: you want to kind of know where you're going with it, Like,
19:05
Speaker 1: what's the point? And if you can't find a point,
19:08
Speaker 1: then hey, I'll keep on searching. I believe anyone that's
19:12
Speaker 1: seeking truth will have an encounter or will have to
19:17
Speaker 1: deal with the Lord Jesus Christ. I should say, because
19:20
Speaker 1: he made that claim, I am the truth. So as
19:23
Speaker 1: a believer, we don't believe that the truth is a
19:26
Speaker 1: construct or imagination or a matter of opinion. We believe
19:31
Speaker 1: that the truth is a person, and that person is
19:33
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Way, the Truth, and the life.
19:37
Speaker 1: He's holy, He's set apart. He's setting us apart for
19:41
Speaker 1: his holy purposes, a man for our lives to be
19:45
Speaker 1: who he calls us to be, and that's truth. Paula says,
19:50
Speaker 1: Jesus is the only way, truth and life a man
19:54
Speaker 1: according to his very own claims. Now, I have to
19:58
Speaker 1: say that it's not my opinion or not my word
20:01
Speaker 1: that's as valuable as God's work speaking through his word,
20:08
Speaker 1: which is the living word Jesus. I mean, it sounds
20:12
Speaker 1: clear the way I'm saying it, but I know a
20:14
Speaker 1: lot of people get angry and it said, it can't be.
20:18
Speaker 1: There has to be more paths there has to be
20:20
Speaker 1: more ways. There has to be energy, there has to
20:23
Speaker 1: be the universe, there has to be this and that
20:26
Speaker 1: and the third there is no judge, There is no
20:28
Speaker 1: People have different ways of living life and finding truth.
20:34
Speaker 1: And I think what's happening is, I believe, in my
20:37
Speaker 1: humble opinion, is escapism. Let's not deal with Jesus people
20:41
Speaker 1: are saying, and let's deal with our reality, what's happening
20:46
Speaker 1: with us, And then we'll pick a little bit of Buddhism,
20:49
Speaker 1: pick a little bit of Christianity, pick a little bit
20:52
Speaker 1: of Islam, and pick a little bit of Judaism, put
20:55
Speaker 1: them all together, mix them all up, and then formulate
20:59
Speaker 1: something that fits their life. I think I've met people
21:02
Speaker 1: like that, Amen. And I can sinue to meet people
21:04
Speaker 1: like that, and I can see to pray for them
21:06
Speaker 1: a man that God will reveal himself to them as
21:10
Speaker 1: the way, the truth and the life. So we have
21:14
Speaker 1: the embodiment, the person of truth Jesus. We have Holy Spirit,
21:17
Speaker 1: that is the Spirit of truth leading us into all truth.
21:21
Speaker 1: And additionally we even have more. It's like sauce, right,
21:25
Speaker 1: sactified sauce. Additionally, we have the Word of God, which
21:29
Speaker 1: is the truth. The Word is the truth a man.
21:33
Speaker 1: The word is the perfect will of God. The Word
21:34
Speaker 1: is truth. Amen. We have it all. We have it
21:37
Speaker 1: all literally, but we're not arrogant. When I meet an
21:41
Speaker 1: arrogant person, I mean like a person that says I
21:44
Speaker 1: know it all, I look at them and say, that's arrogant,
21:47
Speaker 1: that's prideful. Right, And Scripture says that when you're arrogant
21:52
Speaker 1: and prideful, pride comes before the fall. Amen. It's going
21:56
Speaker 1: to lead you to a place where you're going to
21:58
Speaker 1: think you're some one or something that you're not. God
22:02
Speaker 1: is supreme a man, He revealed himself through the Lord.
22:06
Speaker 1: And then we have a choice to make a decision
22:08
Speaker 1: to make Jesus it says, I'm offering you eternal life.
22:12
Speaker 1: Come follow me. He didn't say come follow a religion.
22:15
Speaker 1: He didn't say come follow a tradition. He didn't say
22:17
Speaker 1: come follow some kind of imaginary thing. He says, follow me.
22:22
Speaker 1: You want truth, follow Jesus because he is the truth. Amen.
22:26
Speaker 1: It's plain. But this work to do. Amen. An evangelist
22:31
Speaker 1: like me always knows that there's a lot work, a
22:33
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. And I came to a
22:35
Speaker 1: realization the other day, I was like, Wow, people are
22:39
Speaker 1: still in the mindset of saying that's your truth and
22:42
Speaker 1: this is my truth. And then when AI is mixed
22:45
Speaker 1: in there, forget it. People are gonna be like, well,
22:48
Speaker 1: whatever AI spits out must be truth, because it's Martyn,
22:52
Speaker 1: it's current, and people are starting to deny the truth
22:56
Speaker 1: that has been established eons ago before we were even existing.
23:01
Speaker 1: The truth has already been a man. God has already
23:05
Speaker 1: been and he is the truth. So the Word of
23:07
Speaker 1: God is the source of truth, is a source of truth.
23:11
Speaker 1: If you want to say our source of truth John
23:13
Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen. We read it when Jesus prayed to the
23:17
Speaker 1: Father that sanctify us by the truth. Right. The Bible
23:22
Speaker 1: has the spirit, the Bible has the embodiment of Jesus. Amen.
23:26
Speaker 1: The Bible is the Word. The Word is Jesus, and
23:28
Speaker 1: we have the Word as a source of truth. The
23:31
Speaker 1: scriptures are reliable. Scriptures are helping us understand God's truth
23:37
Speaker 1: and apply this truth to our lives. Read the word, Amen,
23:41
Speaker 1: Read the word daily, apply the word daily, and see
23:44
Speaker 1: how your life changes. So ultimately, knowing truth involves a
23:49
Speaker 1: relationship with the Lord Jesus. There's a Christian perspective. I
23:54
Speaker 1: know it sounds weird to a lot of people who
23:56
Speaker 1: are outside of the Kingdom. You might be saying, you
23:59
Speaker 1: people idolizing the Lord. You're idolizing Jesus. You're always talking
24:03
Speaker 1: about the Lord. We don't idolize them. We actually worship him. Amen.
24:07
Speaker 1: And everything else. If we put anything else before the
24:10
Speaker 1: worship of our Lord, Amen, that's idolatry. And Man, we're
24:14
Speaker 1: not doing idolatry with the Lord. We're actually worshiping our true, holy, loving,
24:19
Speaker 1: righteous God. He is God Almighty. He deserves our worship
24:23
Speaker 1: and praise. We're being led by Holy Spirit. We're not alone.
24:27
Speaker 1: No one's ever alone. Amen. And we're grounding ourselves. Listen
24:32
Speaker 1: to this. In the Word of God. Want truth, you're
24:36
Speaker 1: going to have to look at the claims of the Lord,
24:40
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. He is the truth. So we grow
24:44
Speaker 1: and when we grow, we understand more. We we understand more,
24:47
Speaker 1: we get more confidence, and we get discernment, and we
24:50
Speaker 1: live out the truth in our lives. That's why I
24:54
Speaker 1: always tell people, listen, this is not my truth, this
24:56
Speaker 1: is not your truth. This is the Gospel truth. Amen.
25:00
Speaker 1: The words stand on his own. I literally had a
25:02
Speaker 1: conversation that stood in Genesis three, asked my foundation for
25:06
Speaker 1: everything that was being told to me. I stood there.
25:09
Speaker 1: I didn't go to other scriptures. Well that's sound like
25:11
Speaker 1: Genesis three, and the person was like, okay, yeah, it
25:13
Speaker 1: does sound as Genesis three. I just stood there the
25:18
Speaker 1: fallen man. I stood there in the garden of Eden
25:20
Speaker 1: a men, and it helped me navigate in the conversation.
25:25
Speaker 1: That's how powerful God's word is. The person I was
25:28
Speaker 1: speaking to or was into, you know, different concepts of believing,
25:33
Speaker 1: what truth is, self awareness, energy frequencies, and all that stuff,
25:39
Speaker 1: which I respect. I've heard it. I heard it before.
25:42
Speaker 1: I respect it. It's just that I always questioned that
25:44
Speaker 1: because I'm like, who is the final who is the
25:48
Speaker 1: main source of all this information? And the person actually
25:52
Speaker 1: told me, well, I search a little bit of this,
25:54
Speaker 1: or search a little bit of that. And that's that's
25:57
Speaker 1: how it is, taking from every different concept up and
26:00
Speaker 1: then trying to create your own reality by different all
26:04
Speaker 1: this information. Where we have the information we need amen
26:08
Speaker 1: is transformative. Transformative information by the way, it's information that
26:13
Speaker 1: will cause transformation. And that's why I put the butterfly
26:16
Speaker 1: on a fly. But listen. I'm out of time. Thank
26:18
Speaker 1: you so much for listening and watching. I thank you
26:21
Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with me for this morning.
26:23
Speaker 1: DeVos Amen come back again. Low Willing will be here again. Manyana.
26:28
Speaker 1: So God bless you all, God keep you all, and
26:31
Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace
