  Speaker 1: Sam Rock So winners with a z RG live that
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: so winners with a z dot org and streaming on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: social media platforms that allow.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Us stream to go through.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's all good if those other streaming networks still allow
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: us to go through because of whatever reason. We're also
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: streaming back on x formerly known as Twitter as well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We took some time off of that and now we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: back on there too, if that matters, right, So let's let's.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning, brother Manuel, I see you amen in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo. Thank you so much for coming through, my
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: brother and my friend. So let's go for it. Today
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we're talking about family divide and this is unfortunate, but
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we see it all the time, Amen, And it shouldn't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: be family divide. Family should be sticking together. Family should
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: be together, no matter what the saying that blood is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: sticking their water.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know how true that is.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: All I know is that the scripture says that we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are a family of God, that we are the children
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of God, that we have a sane father, a man
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the same father in heaven if we're born again believers.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So we shouldn't be divided. We should be a family
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: united a man. We shouldn't be like the divided States
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of America. We should be the United States of America.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We should be a people that are bonded together. According
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to the Word of God. The vision and hostility among
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: God's people grieves him, It grieves God. It must must
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: breathe holy spirit. Because that's not the plan, that's not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the purpose, that's not the idea. A man the ideas
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for us to stay together even when we disagree.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: A man was.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Supposed to love one another, respect one another a man,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and stay on the course. Stay on the path that's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: marked out for us. Stay on the race that's marked
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: out for us.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Because the finish line is the goal. The finish line
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is to finish well, to together, to finish well. As
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Bible says that every single people, person of God
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: should be admonishing one another. We should be lifting each
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: other up. We should be together. We should be united,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: not divided.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So family divide, although it's happening, it should not be.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It should not be. A man. Proverbs chapter six, verses
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: sixteen to nineteen.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: We get to see some more things that God hates
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: because people know that God is love. God is a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: God of love. God is love. But God hates things. Amen,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Because if there's love, there's hate. If there's right, there's wrong.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: If there's darkness, there's light right, if there's left.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: There's right. Get it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So we know that there's options here. But I know
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: personally through experience that God is the right option, that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: God is the right way to be, that God is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the right person to go to.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Through the power of His Holy Spirit, the God of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Scriptures, Father son Holy goes.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Amen. So we're there. We're there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Family issues, dysfunctional generational behavior passed down through the bloodline. Okay, man,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: well doing your study, you're doing your investigation. You're doing
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: your research. Brother John, I see you, good morning, God
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bless you, my brother. My friends could see you on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the morning.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Devo.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Amen, and I got a little spin crazy here. Let's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: see hopefully the audio is good. Spin crazy thing that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: means that there's a problem or issue with my wea
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you're here. See it's good, right man. So that's what
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to be at today. Amen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: God has me on this, on this topic for a reason.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I ask the Lord, what would you have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: me speak on? What's the morning devotion? What's the scripture?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I'm like, oh, can I skip that? But
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I d a long time ago not to go against
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what the Lord is saying in my life, not to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: go against and try to make excuses and not want
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to deal with things that are in the scripture. There's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: some scriptures that I personally don't want to go through.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about. I don't want to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: devote some time in or Holy Spirit. He's so good,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he's so kind, he's so gracious, so patient, so loving,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he's so merciful a man that I'm like, you know what,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'll do what you say, Lord, regardless of how I feel.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Because this is not based on a feeling. Following the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Lord is not based on a feeling. Following the Lord
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: is based in faith and the trusting and a man
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and experiencing his grace, love and mercy, experiencing his power,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: his authority, his word. When you apply what you know
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about the Lord, Amen, You're going to go to places
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that no one ever thought you or I would be
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: able to go.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Because God is that good, so let's go for it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on a live chat.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That's what we're here for. Amen.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We're here to unite, engage, and get together on these
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: morning DeVos. Try to do these Mondays through Fridays five
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: thirty A at me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Since standard time.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I was a little late this morning because of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: struggle Amen getting into the studio.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: But we're here, so let's pray.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: After we pray, we'll shut us out for like sixty seconds,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and then on the other side of those sixty seconds
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we'll come back and get into Proverbs chapter number six
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Versus sixteen to nineteen. And I'm calling this one family divide. Father,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: thank you for uniting us, keeping us safe, protecting us,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: guiding us, and guarding us.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord God, that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We can unite in faith because of what you have done,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: your finished work, and because what you're doing your apply work,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and our hearts and our minds and our lives, keep
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: us bond it and bind it together, Lord God, as
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in the Lord, thank you, Holy Father,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that you are our heavenly Father. You're a god of lights.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: In you, there is no shadow way of turning. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you like to provide, and you love to provide for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: your children. Thank you, Love God for your provision. Thank you,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Love God for your blessings. Thank you, Love God for

  Speaker 1: and strength to our bones. I thank you for it all,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Every day is a day to be thankful.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Every day is a day to really experience your Holy
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Spirit living within us in a powerful way. I pray,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Lord God, peace over every single situation in my life,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: over my wife, myself, our children, our grandchildren, our family members,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: every single person in between that Amen Peace, and every
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: single person that's listening and watching right now. The Peace
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of God be with you and the Holy Name of Jesus.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I pray that for every single person on the other
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: side of this mic, also on the radio network and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: also on the podcast, The Peace of God which transcends
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: all understanding and be upon you. And I thank you,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Love God for that piece and that great mercy and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that great grace that you extended to us for all
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: those whom soul evers who called upon your name to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: be saved, and that we are continually living from glory
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to glory. We're continue living from victory to victory, knowing
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that this world, in this world, we're going to have trouble,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: but we are in cheer. We're in great cheer because
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you have overcome this world's system. Thank you, Lord for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this day. And I thank you, Lord God that our
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: family will not be divided according to your will and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: purpose for our lives and Jesus only name. My prayer
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is by faith and all those who agree with say
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: amen to the Amen. Help me share this sole sixty
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: seconds and then we'll get right back into it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Hey man, we're back.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for those who shared us out.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you for all those who make comments. Amen, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for all the subscribers that subscribe
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to my YouTube channel which is called dj saandbrock into
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the podcast which is the Blaze Baba Study.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful for all the groups as well that helped
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: me share this out to your groups and to your people.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: This is all for the glory of God, because you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this is pretty much a labor of love. Ninety nine
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: percent of this is the labor of love, Amen, because
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: God loves us all and he wants us to know
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: who He is. In a deeper level, Sister Joey and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to the morning, Devo, my sister and my friends. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: family divide, Unfortunately, this happens a lot.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: In Christ.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're standing the Lord, you stand on truth. I notice
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: from experience that if you stand on worldly business, if
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you stand on issues.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That really, in my humble opinion, don't matter.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But if you stand all those things and you get
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: agreement from those things, Amen, it seems like the family
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is more together a man. I'm talking about family, capital
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: f in general. But once you stand, you stand on
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the principles of God, stand in the Lord, Amen, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: his word, his promises, his principles, and you go forward
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: This is a divide. Jesus said he didn't come to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: bring I hope un quoting this right.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He came with a sword I'm paraphrasing, and that sword
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: will divide.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Amen. And he lists the division.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And the division is in the family actually because they asked, Jesus,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: where's your where's your family? Where's your brothers and sisters
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: or things like that. Jesus said, who are my brothers
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and sisters? Only those who follow the commandments, Only those
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: who follow the Lord, love the Lord. I'm paraphrasing, Amen,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: do your due diligence. And Jesus said, that's my family.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So when you see a family divide, it's because the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Lord is the issue. A lot of people will want
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you say, Jesus is God. Some family will divide from that,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and it would be like, no, can't be I'm this
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm that. And it might be from different persuasions.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: They might be different from different religions that cannot agree
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: with that. But we know the Lord to be true, living, holy, righteous, loving, Amen,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and able and able to do all what he said
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he would do all what he said he would do.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Amen. And I just trust that we live by that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We know it to be true because of experience and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: also of the truth of the word.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Manuel Johnson says, even with families, the thief comes to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: still kill and destroy. Yeah, he's on mission. He's on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: mission to cause divisions. He's on mission to cause arguments.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: He's on mission to kill, still and destroy. But the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: gift of God right. But the gift of God comes
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: up right. So we know this to be true as well.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and put this on the screen
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: for those who are just listening. No worries, no issues,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: no problems. I would read this word for word. Family
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: divide today in the morning, devo Amen. And it's in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, so I always say, let's deal with it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It's there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We can't deny that it's not there. Proverbs six sixteen
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to nineteen. These six things, listen closely, these six things
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord hates. Yes, again, let me just remind you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that God is love, but he hates. Indeed, seven are
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: repulsive to him.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And here it is.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Let's take a close look, and let's do an honest
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: assessment of where we are.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: A proud look.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: That attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood, a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: heart that creates wicked plans, feat that runs swiftly to evil,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a false witness who breathes out lies even half truths,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and one who spreads discord.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Rumors among brothers.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm thinking and being honest, and I must be
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in some of these categories to be honest. The cross
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: reference is Psalms one, twenty verse number two and Songs
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: one twenty verse number three.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So the cross references right there.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: A heart that creates wicked plans, feet that runs swiftly
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: one who spreads discord among brothers.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Let's back it up, A proud look.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: The attitude that makes one over underestimates, over underestimate, over
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: estimate oneself and discount others. That's a person of pride,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That costs his family divide.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Also for people outside of the kingdom, if you heard this,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you've probably heard this. Who you guys think you are?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You think your guys are better than us? Never heard that,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: because they think we're arrogant and we're pride proud, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that we're walking in pride. Because when we say Jesus
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is the only way, the truth and the life, we're
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: just quoting what the Lord said.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And from what.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I see, the Lord was far from arrogant and prideful,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: far from it. He was a loving, holy, righteous man,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the god man, a man, a prophet, holy in all
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: his ways, sinless in all his ways.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So when I quote.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus, i'm quote quoting the Lord. I'm quoting God. Amen.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: The scriptures are riddled all over the scriptures. It's talking
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: about the prophetic Lord that was to come. And Jesus
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is that prophet, Jesus is that savior. Jesus is the Lord.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus is Almighty God. People say, oh, he's not Almighty God. Well,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the prophet said, wonderful counsel of the Prince of peace, Almighty God.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: So who are you talking about? Itching? Ears will always
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: believe a liar. Amen.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And if we're not careful, brother Manuel, and we you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: listening on discernment, we could fall into that too.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: So I pray every day for discernment.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I pray every day Lord God that he would help
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: me through because a lot of people can talk really good.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They sound so convincing, but they're not telling the truth. Amen,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: they're not telling the truth. Manuel says, Jesus was straightforward.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: The only time Jesus seemed to be speaking in how
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you say, in riddles almost is when he was speaking parables,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: which it went over a lot of people's head, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: even the disciples. He had to take to the side, say,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: let me explain it's parable. Let me just let me
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: explain it to you guys, so you could get it clearly. Amen,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Because Jesus spoke kingdom, and even today when you speak
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: kingdom to people, it flies over the head sometimes. So
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: we have to take people sometimes to the side, say
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: let's explain this. Let's go to the scripture and allow
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: hold the Spirit to explain this thoroughly to us.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Amen. Man, will says, be not deceived in these last days.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: These are the last days.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So we got to be mindful of what's going on, Amen,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and who's saying what. And I follow the wicked algorithm
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: out there that is only positioning narratives that fuel hatred,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that fuel division. A man, it's a wicked algorithm on
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: these social media networks, on these platforms. And man, thank
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: God that I have my own platform, a place where
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: we could go and listen to music, hang out, watch
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: watch morning DeVos, watch Bible studies, listen.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: To the word. Amen.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Two four seven. So one is with a za org.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God that you will give me a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: way to have church online live that soone is with
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a zita org. Very distraction free website, so that way
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: we stay out of the matrix when we're into what
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: we're doing right now.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So hatred divides the family of God. That's strong man
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: for a morning devo. I don't want to be divided
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: with the family of God. Amen, But I do have
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to make choices that honor God. And sometimes when you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: make choices that honor God and kind of like straight
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: away from man leadership, and people get funny with you.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: If you know what that means, I'm speaking light on it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: People say, well, if you're not following my leader, or
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: my pastor, or my bishop or my apostle. Amen, you're
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: not under the right covering. And now you're not going
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to be blessed God. It's not going to do everything
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that he wanted to do because you left the fellowship
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of whatever church or whatever community. People get to that point.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's arrogant. I think that's prideful, and I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: think that's unwise to say. But people do that and
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: it causes division, It causes hatred, it causes misunderstanding.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody should be approachable. The Lord, Jesus, God, the God
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Man was very approachable and it's still very approachable. So
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: how dare me not be approachable? A man that doesn't
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: even make sense? And whoever leads like that, Oh, you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: can't talk to me, Speak to my leaders, speak to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: my staff, speak to this people. That's not matching up
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: with how God wants us to be as a family.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: A man, we should be approachable.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus was using earthly things to describe spiritual principles, yes, man,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: well he was, And a lot of times, if you read.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: The scriptures, you're like man.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes even I have to read the parables two or
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: three times to understand it. The Holy Spirit that lives
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in us will explain. But the people that Jesus was
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: sharing these parables was preaching to were not filled with
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, right evidently, and obviously until the promised Holy
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Spirit came upon the one hundred and twenty, then the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: spirit was released. But when I'm saying, is he spoke Kingdom,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they didn't speak. He would use what people could relate
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to in the time, like Manuel said things that were
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: earthly to describe spiritual principles, and it was going over
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: people's heads. I believe if the Hebrews at the time
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: were honest, they were getting exactly what Jesus was saying,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and that's why they got angry. A lot of them
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: got angry. Can't say all of them. A lot of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: them got angry and were like, are you saying you're
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a God? Because they were listening and they understood what
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus was saying. I don't understand why we, as believers
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in Christ don't understand some things. I know we're being
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: taught by Holy Spirit, were being led by Holy Spirit.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's just that when Jesus spoke kingdom a man, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: when he speaks kingdom, now we should be king in
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: on those things. We should be like those Hebrews that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: hated Jesus. Only thing that we love him, the ones
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that hated him because they knew what he was saying.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: He was claiming to be God, and he was saying
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and speaking it in ways that they could relate to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the same way we say and speak things that we
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: could relate to our communities when it comes to the gospel.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Jesus was doing that. We learned that from the Lord Jesus.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: He's our perfect example of how to speak out the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: word of God. Division and hostility among God's people grieve
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the Lord.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: After we saw the sixth thing, the six things that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the Lord hates, the seven that are an abomination to him.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: We know that we have work to do within the family,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: physical family, our blood lines, and in the family of God.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: If God could be grieved, Holy Spirit could be grieved,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: then we need to mellow down. Focus more on the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: finished work of the Lord. Amen, Focus on the author
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and perfector of our faith. Love one another, like the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Commandment says, love.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Your neighbor like you love yourself.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Come on, love God with everything, first, first, and foremost.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So we have a loving Father, we have a saving son,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and we have a teaching Holy Spirit. Right hatred that
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: causes the vision in the church, even opposes the Lord's prayer.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We spoke about that a little bit John seventeen. If
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you look at how Jesus prayed, you get to see
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of unity, a lot of bonding together. Amen,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you're not going to see Jesus praying and that prayer
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: at John seventeen. Divide them, keep them away from me.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: God is not saying that. The Lord did not say that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: He says, bring them right, don't take them out, keep
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: them there for the glory of God.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And when we're together, have you noticed them when we're
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: out and about in the streets and the byways and
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: highways and we're united in faith. How beautiful that is,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And how very little coverage the world TV networks gives
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on that because the powers that be in the system
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of this world, the enemy runs the system of the world,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: does not want that televised. Anything that glorified as the Lord,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the enemy doesn't want to televise. That's why it's mind
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: boggling to me right now, how so many brothers and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: sisters and the Lord are coming against a man who
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was assassinated in front of his family, right and meanwhile
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: he was bold enough to profess Christ Jesus as his
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: personal Lord and savior. But the media didn't cover that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: The media only covered on the political debates he had.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: But if you go to social media networks, YouTube and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: on that, you'll see the full message. And every time
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: someone had asked him a man about his confession of Christ,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: his belief in Christ, he was unapologetically admitting that he
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: was a born again believer.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: That he believed in the Lord Jesus.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And so many people were impacted by that, and so
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: many people hated him for that he was hated, or
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: not only his political views, but also for being Christian
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and trait of a believer. I don't understand how people
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: don't see that they're only going and buy or what
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: his political views were. Meanwhile, they kind of like ignoring
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that he claimed to be a believer in Christ Jesus.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: There was no riddle about that, no mistake.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: He said Christ Jesus of the scriptures, quota scriptures, believe
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, lived by the principle of the scriptures. His
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: arguments were based upon what he knew about the Lord.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: But when they came into the political realm, since people
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: don't like what he was saying, they harping on.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: That right now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, there was a whole memorial service with millions of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: people that saw it, thousands upon thousands of people in
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the stadium, and it turned out to be an an
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: evangelistic outreach, three hours of praise and worship before anything
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: even started. But people, I'm not talking about that because
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: there's a family divide. So I don't want to be
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: divided with my brothers and sisters. I don't want to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: be on that hate list. Even though some of these
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: things popped out to me that I know I.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Got to work on. What about you?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter six Versus sixteen or nineteen. Read it for yourself.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Read the whole chapter of Proverbs sixteen. I'm out of time.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Let's not be divided. Let's be united in Christ. Let's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: be united and the things of God.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Amen. So that way our.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Brothers and sisters and this world will know that we're
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: united and bonded.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Whether or not we agree with one another on every issue,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it's not really the issue. The issue is who we
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: are in Christ and who the world sees as a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: united body of Christ. If they see people united in
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a certain religion, they get to look at the religious
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: say well, those people got it all together. And then
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: when they see believers in Christ divided, they'd be like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: we always knew that that was something that doesn't make
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: any sense.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: We always knew xyz. But to show that we.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Belong to the the Lord said, love one another, so
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that way this world will know that we belong to him.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So I hope you will, blo. I hope you get
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: some understanding. Hope those who have a hard heart against
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: what happened to a man that assassinated in front of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: his wife and kids. If you have a hard heart
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: about that, you have strong convictions and you're saying no,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: he wasn't this, and he wasn't that, and sending people
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to hell all this other stuff. Be careful that you're
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: not being upawn in the enemy's chest game and causing division.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: It's in the scriptures that that's one of the things
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that the Lord hates. And I don't want to be
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: involved with hatred. I want to be involved with love.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I only want to hate what God hates. Amen, what
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: about you?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So I know it's a kind of like tough situation
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that we're facing in our country, in the United States
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and in the world actually, but if you look at
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the word Amen, you'll get that peace, You'll get that understanding,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you'll get that wisdom, and you'll get how to move
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: accordingly according to the scriptures.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm out of here. God bless you all.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening, Thank you so much
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: for coming. God bless you all. God keep you all,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Peace.
