- 0:20Speaker 2: we could spark up a day, spark up our life,

- 1:35Speaker 2: are the peacekeepers that be us right sons and daughters
- 1:40Speaker 2: of a living King, a living God, a man.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Peacekeepers. But it's not easy keeping the peace.
- 1:46Speaker 2: If we don't have peace with the one who is
- 1:48Speaker 2: the princip piece, it will be hard for us to
- 1:50Speaker 2: maintain the peace and give it out. We're going to
- 1:53Speaker 2: be in Proverbs chapter number fifteen versus one to four.

- 3:20Speaker 2: heart and their mind and it could change their whole destiny,
- 3:24Speaker 2: could change the whole perspective, definitely transform your life. It
- 3:28Speaker 2: happened to me, so I'm totally one hundred percent convinced
- 3:31Speaker 2: that God could change anyone's life. He could save you
- 3:34Speaker 2: redeem you, restore you, renew you right and keep you.
- 3:38Speaker 2: And he'll keep you at a place of high level,
- 3:41Speaker 2: like a place of heavily status. It'll keep you to
- 3:46Speaker 2: a place where your standards and your ability to believe
- 3:50Speaker 2: will come become easier and easier.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Amen.
- 3:53Speaker 2: We don't have to force nothing. Being a Christian is
- 3:55Speaker 2: not a forced religion. Being a Christian is a choice.
- 3:58Speaker 2: When you choose the Lord. Amen, he chose us. Many
- 4:02Speaker 2: are called, but the few are chosen. So those few
- 4:05Speaker 2: that are chosen, man use that opportunity, take advantage of it.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Because God is calling you, Amen, and he wants you
- 4:11Speaker 2: to do what he called you to do, obviously right,
- 4:14Speaker 2: and that is to love people, to love one another. Amen,
- 4:19Speaker 2: to love him first, and then to love your neighbor
- 4:22Speaker 2: like you love yourself.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Amen.
- 4:24Speaker 2: On those two commandments, Jesus said, hangs all the prophets,
- 4:28Speaker 2: the commandments, and everything hang on those two. And Jesus
- 4:32Speaker 2: said a new commandment, I give you love.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Amen. Is about love, and when you love, you're actually
- 4:38Speaker 1: keeping the peace. Amen. This is a beautiful thing.
- 4:40Speaker 2: And exchange, it's not that it's just an exchange of ideas,
- 4:44Speaker 2: exchange of heart, and exchange of mind. He out with
- 4:48Speaker 2: the old, in with the new. Let's live in the
- 4:51Speaker 2: newness of Christ.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Amen.
- 4:52Speaker 2: The old stuff gotta go anyway, And we're not about
- 4:55Speaker 2: that old life, right, We're about the new life that
- 4:58Speaker 2: God has for us.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Amen. Sorry, I'm looking at the screen making sure everything's
- 5:01Speaker 1: up and running. So let's go for it. Let's pray.
- 5:04Speaker 2: After we pray, like I said, help me shad this out,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and after sixty seconds when we come back, we'll get right.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Into today's morning devo. Amen.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And let me make sure I'll do one more thing
- 5:13Speaker 2: before I pray before I forget. Shared us to the
- 5:17Speaker 2: Blaze Bible Studies if you're not. We have a private
- 5:20Speaker 2: group called the Blaze Bible Studies on a Facebook meta.
- 5:25Speaker 2: A man get on there, a man requests to be
- 5:28Speaker 2: a member. It's like over seven hundred members there, and
- 5:31Speaker 2: we get into man, we talk, we communicate. I send
- 5:34Speaker 2: posts on their exclusive posts on there to let you
- 5:37Speaker 2: know what's going on with the ministry and things like that. So, Father,
- 5:40Speaker 2: I thank you so much that you are the Prince
- 5:43Speaker 2: of Peace, Lord Jesus. That Father, you sent yourself as
- 5:48Speaker 2: a son. You didn't create Jesus, you sent yourself in
- 5:51Speaker 2: the form of a man named Jesus, which we know
- 5:55Speaker 2: as the Prince of Peace. This peace transcends all understanding.
- 5:59Speaker 2: The world is and stand the peace of God that
- 6:01Speaker 2: we as children of God have, that we walk around
- 6:04Speaker 2: with a smile on our face, even while things are
- 6:07Speaker 2: happening in this world, even when we're having a rough life,
- 6:10Speaker 2: a rough day, even when we're having issues in our family,
- 6:14Speaker 2: we still have the peace of God and the joy
- 6:16Speaker 2: of the Lord that we never leave based on circumstances.
- 6:19Speaker 2: The peace and joy that we have is inside of
- 6:22Speaker 2: us and being held together by Holy Spirit in us
- 6:26Speaker 2: walking through us, which is the hope of glory. I
- 6:28Speaker 2: thank you, Lord God for your power. I thank you
- 6:30Speaker 2: Lord God for the power prayer. I thank you Lord
- 6:33Speaker 2: God for your Arkwen angels, minister angels, worrying angels that
- 6:36Speaker 2: are able to annihilate every single spiritual stronghold or every
- 6:40Speaker 2: single stronghold in the spiritual realm, that they will annihilate
- 6:44Speaker 2: those things and keep us upright, keep us standing. We
- 6:47Speaker 2: go through battles, but we stand. We stand in hope,
- 6:50Speaker 2: We stand in faith, We stand in the Lord, we
- 6:52Speaker 2: stand in the Word, and we stand on the principles
- 6:54Speaker 2: of God, and today, Lord God, according to your proverb,
- 6:58Speaker 2: we thank you, Lord God, that we could keep the
- 7:00Speaker 2: peace and will blessed for it because we follow your
- 7:03Speaker 2: lead and we follow your example. I pray a hedge
- 7:06Speaker 2: of protection over every single person listening and watching right now,
- 7:09Speaker 2: including me and my family, my wife, our children, and
- 7:12Speaker 2: our bloodlines, from the very youngest family member to the
- 7:16Speaker 2: very oldest and everyone in between. Peace of God, the
- 7:19Speaker 2: health and strength that God offers you, that you receive
- 7:22Speaker 2: that today right now, in Jesus' name, I pray this's
- 7:25Speaker 2: by faith with peace and thanksgiving.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Amen and Amen. So let's go for it. Let's share
- 7:31Speaker 1: this out.
- 7:31Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get right into Proverbs chapter
- 7:34Speaker 2: fifteen Versus one to four.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I'll be right back a man and man, We're back.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Let's go for it.
- 9:02Speaker 2: The Word of God is for you daily, is a
- 9:05Speaker 2: living word. The Word of God is alive and sharper
- 9:08Speaker 2: than any double edged sword. The word God is able
- 9:10Speaker 2: to do what the Word says it would do. Amen,
- 9:13Speaker 2: So count on it. When it comes to peace. I'd
- 9:16Speaker 2: rather have peace than be a millionaire multi millionaire. You
- 9:19Speaker 2: see what's happening on what's happening in the music industry
- 9:22Speaker 2: with these billionaires, millionaires, multi millionaires.
- 9:25Speaker 1: You see what's happening.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Their life will come in to ruins because of their
- 9:29Speaker 2: life and how they're living it. And they're trying to
- 9:32Speaker 2: develop their own way of living because the money is
- 9:35Speaker 2: their God. But we don't serve Mormon murmuring, We don't
- 9:40Speaker 2: serve money. We serve the Lord a man. We serve
- 9:42Speaker 2: his holiness, his kingship. We follow his lead and because
- 9:47Speaker 2: of that we have peace and we are peacekeepers because
- 9:50Speaker 2: of his word.
- 9:51Speaker 1: So don't be deceived. God is not mocked. I know
- 9:53Speaker 1: a lot of people think when they have money, they
- 9:56Speaker 1: don't need God.
- 9:57Speaker 2: When they could keep their own peace and they could
- 10:00Speaker 2: satisfy everything, including their soul and this spirit.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And it's not like that. Now.
- 10:07Speaker 2: When they get in trouble, things start collapsing rapidly because.
- 10:12Speaker 1: The more they have, the more the enemy.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Will shut down and take, causing them to fail and fall.
- 10:18Speaker 2: But they can be redeemed. They could call upon the
- 10:21Speaker 2: name of the Lord Jesus repent. They could admit that
- 10:24Speaker 2: their sinners believe in God, believe in his word, and
- 10:27Speaker 2: then confess Jesus Christ is their personal Lord and savior.
- 10:30Speaker 2: That's for somebody right now that's going through issues.
- 10:33Speaker 1: But you have everything the world.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Offers, but you don't have peace. And I want to
- 10:38Speaker 2: exchange anything for peace you could give. You could say say,
- 10:43Speaker 2: i'm I'll send you a check right now for three
- 10:45Speaker 2: five ten million dollars if you stop preaching Christ. I
- 10:50Speaker 2: won't take it. People like, yes you would, No, I won't. Amen,
- 10:53Speaker 2: lest the Lord develop something in my mental strategy strategically
- 10:58Speaker 2: to take that and to soul back into the kingdom.
- 11:01Speaker 2: I won't take it if it has to do or
- 11:03Speaker 2: anything about losing my peace. I crave the peace of
- 11:07Speaker 2: God and I love to keep the peace. But peacekeepers
- 11:11Speaker 2: are biblical, Amen, And we're blessed because we keep the
- 11:14Speaker 2: peace according to God's word. Good morning, sister Juanne. Is
- 11:17Speaker 2: good to see my sister, my friend. Aymen, welcome back
- 11:20Speaker 2: to the Morning Devo. So let him get this on
- 11:22Speaker 2: the screen right there it goes peacekeepers.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Amen.
- 11:26Speaker 2: That's what we do here on the Morning Devo. We
- 11:28Speaker 2: keep the peace.
- 11:30Speaker 1: And God is good.
- 11:30Speaker 2: He's faithful to his word, Amen, and he's able. Proverbs
- 11:34Speaker 2: chapter fifteen, verses one and four. The Bible says, a
- 11:38Speaker 2: soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, but
- 11:44Speaker 2: harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger. So
- 11:48Speaker 2: there's always the opposite that applies when you see the
- 11:51Speaker 2: Word of God saying, if you do this, you'll get
- 11:53Speaker 2: this result. If you do that, you'll get that result.
- 11:56Speaker 2: We see it all through the scriptures. You can also
- 11:58Speaker 2: see them Proverbs Chapter twenty five and fifteen Amen as
- 12:03Speaker 2: a cross reference. So for those Bible studiers and these
- 12:07Speaker 2: people who are you know, want to be behrens, want
- 12:09Speaker 2: to really hear what I'm saying and really study this
- 12:12Speaker 2: out to make sure that it keeps aligned with the
- 12:14Speaker 2: Word of God. I never fail when I'm reading the
- 12:17Speaker 2: word of God.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Amen.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I'm always correct when I'm reading the work, and the
- 12:21Speaker 2: word of God is always right. But if I start
- 12:24Speaker 2: doing commentary, check up on that, make sure it lines
- 12:27Speaker 2: up with the word.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Amen.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I keep myself under strict regulation. I try to regulate
- 12:32Speaker 2: myself and make sure I'm reading the word amen and
- 12:35Speaker 2: not put in just commentary all through these morning DeVos.
- 12:39Speaker 1: All right, that sounds fair.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I think it is the tongue of the wise speaks
- 12:44Speaker 2: knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable, but the babbling mouth
- 12:51Speaker 2: of fools spouts folly. This other scripture that says, the
- 12:54Speaker 2: more you speak, the more you are going to sin,
- 12:58Speaker 2: like you're going to be under the radar of sin.
- 13:01Speaker 2: The more you blab, the more you speak out of
- 13:03Speaker 2: your mouth. Amen, if you're not speaking word, you're speaking
- 13:07Speaker 2: comments eevery you're speaking whatever you want to talk about,
- 13:09Speaker 2: you might start sinning, So be careful. The tongue of
- 13:11Speaker 2: the wise, though, speaks knowledge that it's pleasing and acceptable,
- 13:15Speaker 2: But the babbling mouth of food spots folly. The eyes
- 13:19Speaker 2: of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil
- 13:24Speaker 2: and the good in all their endeavors. You see that
- 13:29Speaker 2: in Job chapter thirty four, verse twenty one, Proverbs chapter five,
- 13:33Speaker 2: verse twenty one, Jeremiah sixteen, verse seventeen, Jeremiah thirty two,
- 13:39Speaker 2: and nineteen Hebrews chapter four, verse thirteen. A lot there
- 13:45Speaker 2: cross references, and make sure I put this version up
- 13:48Speaker 2: so you can see that there's more to it than
- 13:50Speaker 2: what we're talking about now. But because we have a
- 13:52Speaker 2: snapshot and we're doing all morning devotion, Amen, I'll leave
- 13:56Speaker 2: that up to you at your own time that you
- 13:58Speaker 2: could look those scriptures up. A soothing tongue speaking words
- 14:02Speaker 2: that build up and encourage is a tree of what
- 14:06Speaker 2: a tree of life, but a perversive tongue. Speaking words
- 14:11Speaker 2: that overwhelm and depress crushes the spirit. If you've ever
- 14:16Speaker 2: been around a negative person, you know what this is
- 14:19Speaker 2: all about. If you've ever been around a person who
- 14:22Speaker 2: verbally abuses you, you.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Know what that's all about.
- 14:25Speaker 2: You ever leave a conversation leaving worse than when you
- 14:29Speaker 2: first got into it, that's a negative spirit. That's an overwhelming,
- 14:34Speaker 2: depressious of depressive person. That's speaking words that are perversive,
- 14:40Speaker 2: that are not life giving but their life sucking. They
- 14:43Speaker 2: take the life out of you, and it crushes the spirit.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Watch out who you hang out with, and watch out
- 14:48Speaker 2: what you speak, and watch out what you hear spoken
- 14:51Speaker 2: over your life. Amen, words do carry power. My brother
- 14:55Speaker 2: says that all the time that words carry power. The
- 14:58Speaker 2: living Word of God has the ultimate power. You take
- 15:01Speaker 2: that with living Word of God and you speak it
- 15:02Speaker 2: over your life, you speak it over others. Has the
- 15:05Speaker 2: power to lift, It has the power to move things.
- 15:07Speaker 2: It has the power to renew as the power to
- 15:10Speaker 2: engage in conversation with holiness, righteousness, right, with love, with
- 15:15Speaker 2: grace and mercy, with the gentle spirit. Sometimes you have
- 15:18Speaker 2: to use the word of God to rebuke, to reprove,
- 15:22Speaker 2: to correct.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Amen.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to use the word of God to
- 15:27Speaker 2: really look in the mirror and speak it over your
- 15:29Speaker 2: own self. And the situations that you might be going through.
- 15:32Speaker 2: God's word is powerful. It's powerful. It's like it's like
- 15:37Speaker 2: those who are looking for truth in life, Amen, And
- 15:40Speaker 2: they don't read the Word of God, and they're going
- 15:42Speaker 2: to be searching trying to figure things out for the
- 15:44Speaker 2: whole entire life. But we have the Word, Amen, And
- 15:48Speaker 2: we have the peace of God because we have the
- 15:51Speaker 2: Holy Spirit of the Prince of Peace living within us,
- 15:55Speaker 2: living inside of us. Can you imagine that the Almighty,
- 15:59Speaker 2: all knowing, omni present, all powerful, creative for all the
- 16:03Speaker 2: universe is living inside of a person who calls upon
- 16:07Speaker 2: the name of the Lord Jesus. Why wouldn't you want
- 16:10Speaker 2: to check him out, the Lord? Why wouldn't you want
- 16:13Speaker 2: to investigate the claims of the Lord Jesus. Why wouldn't
- 16:16Speaker 2: you want this newness of life? Why wouldn't you even
- 16:20Speaker 2: want to try to read the scriptures and ask the author,
- 16:24Speaker 2: the ultimate author of all the sixty six books of
- 16:27Speaker 2: the Bible, to explain to you what's going on? Or
- 16:31Speaker 2: better yet, why don't you get into a personal relationship
- 16:33Speaker 2: with the Lord Jesus yourself and stop believing the hype
- 16:36Speaker 2: of this world and saying, oh, there is no God.
- 16:38Speaker 1: You do what you want, get all you can, can
- 16:40Speaker 1: all you get. Nah, that's not the way to go.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Millionaires, billionaires and people in the entertainment industry could tell
- 16:48Speaker 2: you that that's all a bunch of lives, that you
- 16:50Speaker 2: could do whatever you want. Because if that was true,
- 16:53Speaker 2: and all the money that you have, you could do
- 16:54Speaker 2: whatever you want and there's no consequences, then people will
- 16:57Speaker 2: not be going through consequences right now now for all
- 17:01Speaker 2: their craziness and their loose living and all that stuff
- 17:04Speaker 2: and denial of a true, loving, holy, righteous God.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Amen.
- 17:09Speaker 2: And there would be in other predicaments, there would be
- 17:11Speaker 2: in better places. If they take heed to the word
- 17:14Speaker 2: of God, they would be peacekeepers and they would be
- 17:17Speaker 2: blessed for it. So wise use the speech helps keep
- 17:21Speaker 2: peace with brothers and sisters in your family, in the community,
- 17:26Speaker 2: in your congregation.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Amen.
- 17:29Speaker 2: If you use a kind word when somebody's speaking negative
- 17:33Speaker 2: words or harsh words, you know you will cause the
- 17:36Speaker 2: peace of God to be active in that situation and
- 17:39Speaker 2: that conversation. Right, I've done it myself. I've seen people
- 17:43Speaker 2: do it. People will come at you all kind of
- 17:45Speaker 2: crooked and all kind of ways, and you speak a
- 17:47Speaker 2: word of life and then backs them up and they
- 17:50Speaker 2: like snap out of it sometimes, but a kind word
- 17:55Speaker 2: right causes wrath to disappear. It calms people's souls down nerves. Now, Amen,
- 18:02Speaker 2: I do some knocking on doors now, a man with
- 18:05Speaker 2: an organization called lib Action. And I see responses from
- 18:10Speaker 2: when we're knocking on the doors or people well complete
- 18:13Speaker 2: stranger at the door.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Right.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Some people are cautious, some people are angry, some people
- 18:19Speaker 2: are happy.
- 18:20Speaker 1: It depends.
- 18:21Speaker 2: But whatever word comes out of their mouth, if it's
- 18:25Speaker 2: not pleasing, if it's harsh, a man, I try to
- 18:27Speaker 2: speak a kind word back, and so far, Amen, it's
- 18:31Speaker 2: been working and a man, and it makes the person
- 18:34Speaker 2: snap out of whatever the assumption is or whatever they
- 18:37Speaker 2: think we're trying to do at the door. Most of
- 18:40Speaker 2: the time they think we're trying to sell something. But
- 18:42Speaker 2: when they realize we're not selling something, we're representing for
- 18:46Speaker 2: something an important issue right for our way of living
- 18:51Speaker 2: in the United States, then they simmer down, and I
- 18:54Speaker 2: see how a kind word turns away wrath. I see
- 18:58Speaker 2: them real time, as a matter of fact, depend on it.
- 19:00Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I walk with peace because
- 19:02Speaker 2: I depend on the piece of God to cause it
- 19:05Speaker 2: to have.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Peace on others. Amen.
- 19:07Speaker 2: When I do ride sharing, when I ride the lift, Amen,
- 19:10Speaker 2: I don't know who's coming in my vehicle at a
- 19:13Speaker 2: lot of people don't do those type of side gigs
- 19:19Speaker 2: right in the gig economy. You call it a side hustle.
- 19:22Speaker 2: They don't do it because they say, I don't want
- 19:24Speaker 2: strangers in my car. Why because you don't know what
- 19:26Speaker 2: to expect. You don't know what they're going to say.
- 19:28Speaker 2: You don't know how they get to act. When I
- 19:30Speaker 2: can guarantee this, and I do it all the time,
- 19:33Speaker 2: I make sure that while they're coming in, I speak
- 19:35Speaker 2: some kind of a kind work. Even if it's just
- 19:38Speaker 2: how you're doing a hello or man, you know, I
- 19:41Speaker 2: hope you're having a great day, and it kind of
- 19:43Speaker 2: calms down the atmosphere.
- 19:45Speaker 1: But I always pray first. It's a secret.
- 19:48Speaker 2: You pray for peace wherever you go, Amen, whether it's
- 19:51Speaker 2: at work, whether it's at school, home, Amen, whether you're
- 19:55Speaker 2: going grocery shopping, going to the move. Pray for peace
- 19:58Speaker 2: because there's gonna be other people there that are strange
- 20:01Speaker 2: to you. They're strangers. You don't know everybody in a
- 20:04Speaker 2: place where you go. But if you pray the peace
- 20:06Speaker 2: of God.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Amen. If you walk.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Around with children or family members that are in special
- 20:15Speaker 2: needs and they get into fits of rage, sometimes you
- 20:19Speaker 2: pray the peace of God over their lives. You speak
- 20:22Speaker 2: a kind word into their spirit, into their soul, and
- 20:25Speaker 2: watch what happens. The power God works, the power God moves.
- 20:30Speaker 1: The power of God.
- 20:31Speaker 2: We could rely. It's reliable. The power of God is almighty.
- 20:34Speaker 2: The power God never weakens. His word is always true.
- 20:38Speaker 2: His word is always powerful. His word always brings light
- 20:41Speaker 2: to a dark situation.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Amen.
- 20:43Speaker 2: And his word always keeps us in peace. And not
- 20:46Speaker 2: only does it keep us in peace, but he makes
- 20:48Speaker 2: us into peacekeepers a man wherever we go. And this
- 20:52Speaker 2: is true in any situation. You can try it out
- 20:55Speaker 2: for yourself. Amen, and watch the peace of God. So
- 21:01Speaker 2: James shot the five also says James five and nine.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Don't grumble. Remember the babbler.
- 21:06Speaker 2: That Proverbs chapter fifteen was talking about. It's also can
- 21:09Speaker 2: mean grumbling. Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you
- 21:14Speaker 2: will be what judged? The judge is standing at the door.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Oh Sam, you can't judge me.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Listen.
- 21:21Speaker 2: You call yourself a believer in Christ, a Christian, a
- 21:23Speaker 2: christ follower. Yes, so we could use judgment, righteous judgment.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Amen. How by keeping the peace number one, trusting in
- 21:32Speaker 1: God's word. Amen, And what this word says, not grumbling
- 21:38Speaker 1: at each other, or you will be judged.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Who's the judge? God is the judge, And where's the judge?
- 21:45Speaker 2: The judge is standing at the door, the door of
- 21:47Speaker 2: our hearts, Amen, the door of the situation. Amazing. God
- 21:55Speaker 2: speaks about peace all through his word. Then he shows
- 21:58Speaker 2: up and says he's the principiece, wonderful counselor Almighty God.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Amen. Amazing. How the word of God ties in union. Amen.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Word of God never contradicts herself, even though a lot
- 22:11Speaker 2: of people say this contradictions in the Bible. And then
- 22:13Speaker 2: you go to the gospels and they say, look on
- 22:16Speaker 2: the plaque above Jesus on the cross, it says this,
- 22:18Speaker 2: and then the other gospel it says something different. Not
- 22:22Speaker 2: understanding that if you put it all together, you put
- 22:24Speaker 2: both perspective, or all three perspective, or wherever it's found
- 22:27Speaker 2: in the gospels. You put those perspectives together. It doesn't
- 22:31Speaker 2: change the fact that Jesus was on that cross. It
- 22:34Speaker 2: doesn't change the fact that he died and rose again.
- 22:36Speaker 2: It doesn't change the fact that he's the principiece, wonderful
- 22:39Speaker 2: counselor Almighty God. It doesn't change the gospel message, doesn't
- 22:43Speaker 2: change anything. We sometimes, as human beings, we want to
- 22:47Speaker 2: correct what the word of God says. No, it could
- 22:50Speaker 2: not happened that way, So let's make sure people know
- 22:53Speaker 2: that it had to happen this way, as if we
- 22:56Speaker 2: are the author and perfector. Now, I'm not the author
- 23:00Speaker 2: perfector of the scriptures. I'm not the author.
- 23:02Speaker 1: I'm perfective of the faith, our faith. Amen.
- 23:05Speaker 2: The Lord is, and he sits on high. His ways
- 23:09Speaker 2: are not like our ways. His thoughts are not like
- 23:12Speaker 2: our thoughts. So of course it's going to be mystery
- 23:15Speaker 2: about the Lord. There's gonna be misunderstandings and misinterpretations of
- 23:19Speaker 2: his word. It's going to be miscues. It's gonna be
- 23:22Speaker 2: misunderstandings about the scriptures because we're human and our mind
- 23:27Speaker 2: and our understanding is limited. Our capability to understand an amazing,
- 23:35Speaker 2: awesome God is limited. We're seeing nothing but a glimpse
- 23:40Speaker 2: of Jesus, nothing but a glimpse of what God in
- 23:43Speaker 2: his word says. That's why He's going to give his
- 23:46Speaker 2: eternal life a man with him so we could get
- 23:48Speaker 2: this understanding more and more and more. I think it's
- 23:51Speaker 2: gonna take an eternity to realize who God really is
- 23:57Speaker 2: in his word, through his word.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Amen.
- 24:00Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you are going to take an
- 24:02Speaker 2: eternity to know Jesus. That you can know Jesus right now.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I'm just saying to understand everything he's doing. Like all eternity,
- 24:10Speaker 2: I don't think we will ever understand everything that God does.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Because he's God. He's a supreme other. He's not like us.
- 24:18Speaker 2: We're created in his image. He's not created in our image.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Trust that.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Believe that, Amen. He's an ultimate peacekeeper. He wants us
- 24:27Speaker 2: to keep the peace.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Amen.
- 24:30Speaker 2: So read those other cross references that we were going
- 24:33Speaker 2: through earlier.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Amen, let me see if I could read some of
- 24:36Speaker 1: them off to you.
- 24:37Speaker 2: So remember it's a soft and gentle and thoughtful answer,
- 24:42Speaker 2: not a harsh word, and not like you're blabbering real
- 24:46Speaker 2: quick out something that will cause people to have peace
- 24:49Speaker 2: in their hearts. And for you to have peace, you
- 24:51Speaker 2: have to be strategic. You have to be intentional. Brother, Frank,
- 24:54Speaker 2: God bless you. Good morning, my brother and my friend.
- 24:57Speaker 2: It's good to see you in the morning.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Devo. Amen.
- 25:00Speaker 2: So a soft and gentle, thoughtful answer turns away wrath.
- 25:04Speaker 2: But what happens when you speak a harsh and painful
- 25:07Speaker 2: and careless word, It will stir up the anger. Proverbs
- 25:10Speaker 2: twenty five to fifteen, Amen, is to cross reference to
- 25:15Speaker 2: Proverbs fifteen one and four. It's beautiful when you're into
- 25:18Speaker 2: cross references. Cross reference means that the scripture says it
- 25:21Speaker 2: in this part of the Bible, and then when you
- 25:24Speaker 2: go to the other cross reference you will see how
- 25:26Speaker 2: it all ties together. So when people say that contradictions,
- 25:30Speaker 2: all you gotta do is ask them nicely, show me,
- 25:35Speaker 2: show me where the contradictions and the errors are in
- 25:37Speaker 2: the scriptures.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Show me, amen, and.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Don't let them get over by reading one part of
- 25:43Speaker 2: a scripture and say, yere, there it is.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Don't let them do that, Amen.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Because a lot of people want to recall a cherry
- 25:50Speaker 2: pick the word of God to make their point. Make
- 25:53Speaker 2: them read the whole scripture, and as a matter of fact,
- 25:55Speaker 2: make sure it's some contact texts. Just like I make
- 25:58Speaker 2: sure that I'm in context, and you could tell me
- 26:00Speaker 2: and correct me if I was off context. Make sure
- 26:03Speaker 2: it's in context. So I'm out of time. Proverbs shot
- 26:06Speaker 2: the fifteen. Read the whole chapter for yourself, and enjoy
- 26:10Speaker 2: the peace of God and be a peacekeeper.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Amen.
- 26:13Speaker 2: So God, I thank you for everybody that came through.
- 26:16Speaker 2: I thank you Lord Gud that you'll keep them, that
- 26:18Speaker 2: you love them. And I pray peace over everyone that
- 26:22Speaker 2: came through and that would be blessed today. So God
- 26:24Speaker 2: bless you all, but the Nando God bless you.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Bro.
- 26:27Speaker 2: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Peace.
