0:23
platforms on a Celebrator network, which, by the ways, that Lehigh Valley's
0:27
number one urban gospel music station. We've been on line since two thousand and
0:31
eight. Thank you so much for coming through for this session of the Morning
0:35
Devo. I'm calling this one come back home, Amen. When this is
0:39
a sos, a cry, a call out to those who are lost track
0:48
of home or who are lost and need to come back home. Amen.
0:52
The invitation to the body is open, Amen, it's open. Come back
0:59
home. We're going to be in Micah chapter seven, verses eighteen and nineteen.
1:03
And what I mean by come back home I'll explain, of course when
1:07
during the session. But amen, but it simply means to come back to
1:12
the place where you know this freedom, where you know there's acceptance, where
1:17
you know there's love, Amen, where you know there is freedom from let's
1:25
see judgment right, where there's liberty, where there's abundance where there is life,
1:33
not death. Come back to the Kingdom, come back home, Amen,
1:38
on today's morning devo. No matter what sins you have committed, listen
1:42
closely. No matter what sins plural you have committed and I have committed,
1:49
God is gracious to forgive. Forgive those sins. Right, you can come
1:57
back to the God of the place that we call home. So you could
2:02
come back to God and home at the same time. Amen, Michael,
2:08
Chapter seven, Verses eighteen and nineteen. Do you have any questions about that?
2:15
You should have comments, questions, concerns, prayer requests. Don't hesitate
2:20
to leave another live. That's what we're here for and that's what we do
2:23
over here at some winners. Amen. Let me just share this to the
2:25
group quickly so that way they know I'm live, because they took that feature
2:30
out for whatever reason that you can't simultaneously stream to the group at the same
2:37
time. But I shared it just now. Amen. You could always help
2:39
me share this out anytime during the live or any time when you watch this
2:45
or you listen. Amen, help me share this out to as many people
2:47
as possible. This message is an incredible message, and this message Amen,
2:53
will resonate, will apply to any situation in your life and in my life.
2:58
The Gospel, the good news of who Jesus is in our lives.
3:01
Amen. And that's not a credit to me, Amen, that's credit all
3:07
to the glory of God and to the grace of God. God is that
3:10
powerful. God is that amazing. That is God loving. He's that loving,
3:15
He is that holy, he is that omnipresent, He is omniscient or
3:21
powerful. Yet He has a gentle spirit when and kindness concerning us his creation.
3:28
That's an amazing work that only God could do. Amen. God could
3:32
rescue, save, transform, renewed, redeemed sinners for the purposes of His
3:39
love. Amen. So that way we could do what God calls us to
3:44
do on this side of eternity. And that's a beautiful thing. Come back
3:47
home today in the morning, DEVO. Let's pray first. After we pray,
3:51
we'll shut this out for like sixty seconds. When we come back on
3:53
the other side of the sixty seconds, we'll make sure to get right into
3:59
the scripture. Hey man, just checking up volumes here. Heymen, Good
4:03
morning s is to Joanne. I see you, Good morning, God bless
4:06
you. Welcome back. To the morning DeVos, because you see you again
4:10
here on the live. Amen. Let's go for it. Let's pray.
4:14
After we pray, Like I said, we'll share this out when we come
4:16
back. We'll get into Micah chapter number seven, Verses eighteen and nineteen.
4:23
Father, I thank you so much right now for home, for being at
4:28
home, for being in your kingdom, for having the opportunity and to live
4:33
in the land of the living, and the promise of abundant living is in
4:40
us and working through us, and we have this promise. We don't boast
4:44
about what we have. We boast about who we belong to, who we
4:49
serve, and who is God Almighty? Which is you, Lord Jesus.
4:55
I pray I had your protection over our lives well God, physically, emotion,
5:00
spiritually. I pray forth arkward angels, minister angels, warrying angels,
5:04
to annihilate the tactics of the enemy over our land and our lives. That
5:10
we will find our way home, and we would know that home is a
5:14
place where God is. Home is a place where Holy Spirit is. Home
5:17
is a place where we are welcomed. Home is a place where we are
5:20
guarded, guided and protected. Thank you Lord for creating such a place for
5:25
us. You said in your word, Lord Jesus, that you go and
5:28
create a place and prepare a place for us, And if it were not
5:31
true, you would not have told us that. So thank you Love God
5:35
for your truth. Thank you Lord God for your mercy. Thank you Lo
5:39
God for your love. Thank you Lo God for continually protecting us in this
5:44
world that takes this message the wrong way. And Father God, I pray
5:48
that you renew and restore all things to our minds, to our hearts,
5:54
and that we will move forward in victory knowing that you are in us,
5:57
working through us. And we, Father God, have confidence in your word
6:00
because of what you have already did and what you continue to do through us
6:04
and in us. I pray it's by faith, knowing that you hear these
6:08
prayers and you answer them according to your willing purpose for each individual life,
6:14
those representing their families and their friends on the other side of the screen and
6:17
on the other side of this might, I pray a blessing over them as
6:21
well. In Jesus name, and those who agree, we say Amen and
6:25
Amen. Help me share this soul sixty seconds, share it to as many
6:29
people as possible. If you know people right now that are not on social
6:31
media normally like that, you could always send them the link. So winners
6:35
with a z dot org or live that's so winners with a z dot org.
6:41
Let's go for it. I'll be right back. Amen. Amen,
8:13
we're back, last sixty seconds. Man. Another features that I just found
8:22
out that no longer will be live streamed on x formerly known as Twitter unless
8:28
you're a paid subscriber. So this whole social media world, Amen, that
8:33
people are so into. Amen, They're gonna start capitalizing because we have some
8:41
kind of need to be on social media. That's why I thank god for
8:46
someone is with a zeta org where you could literally bypass social media a man
8:50
and goes straight to the radio network online two four seven to listen to the
8:56
podcast to see the lives on as we're live. Amen. And I thank
9:01
God for that so that way we won't have to totally rely on social media
9:05
because pretty soon, sooner or later, Amen, these type of messages are
9:11
gonna be eliminated. You don't believe me, think I'm over zealous about that?
9:16
Amen? How about this. I've been shadow band for years on social
9:20
media platforms. Amen. Shadow Band, which means that when I go live
9:24
and brothers and sisters like me with this gospel message, but just same message
9:28
I've been shadow banded for years, when we go live, probably like ten
9:33
twenty maybe thirty people if I'm lucky, if I'm blessed enough, Amen,
9:39
I don't want to miss luck and blessed. So wipe that comment out if
9:43
it goes through. Because God reaches who he wants to reach through these podcasts
9:48
and through these live streams, probably a max of ten twenty thirty people will
9:52
get even a notification. Amen. A lot of people don't get the notifications
9:56
because if you're like me, it's too many no notifications coming through the phone.
10:01
So I turned off my notifications for TikTok. I turned off my notifications
10:07
for Twitter and for a lot of different social media platforms because it would be
10:13
too much WhatsApp, Telegram, all that. I turned them all off.
10:20
So if you want the notifications to pop up on your phone so that way
10:24
you could be reminded, or every time I go live, or when your
10:28
favorite podcast it goes live, or when your favorite preacher or whatever goes live,
10:31
turn on the notifications on your phone. That might be an issue and
10:35
it might fix the issue just to put that out there. So let's go
10:41
for it. Let's get back to business here, come back home, let's
10:46
get today's scripture ready for those who are listening on celebs. So humble that
10:52
you would come through and trust the teaching or the guidance Amen, that I
10:58
share online with you on the day to day. There's no secret to this
11:03
ministry. AMENI soul winners. I literally read the word line for line,
11:07
and I ask Holy spirits to help me, you know, explain it.
11:13
And he explains. And the power of God is so amazing that even if
11:18
I fumble the meanings of some words, or if I get something a little
11:22
bit off, God has a way of making sure the truth happens in your
11:28
life and in my life, that the truth is revealed. Amazing. Takes
11:33
so much pressure off me as an evangelist. It takes so much pressure off
11:37
my friends who are pastors, teachers, apostles, right prophets. It's not
11:43
the word that we're saying that you should rely on that I'm saying that you
11:46
rely it's the word of God and that's reliable. Amen. And he has
11:52
a way of demonstrating his word powerfully accurately. It's all truth all the time.
11:58
Amen, never loses his power, never loses its relevance, and it's
12:03
always applicable, and it's always relevant in our lives. The Word of God.
12:07
So I rely on the word. What about you? Amen? So
12:11
let's go for it. Let's see what this word has for us today.
12:15
Amen. As I get it on day, goes on the screen so we
12:18
could see it for ourselves. Micah Chapter seven, Versus eighteen and nineteen.
12:26
They got took this out of the amplified version, and it says, who
12:31
is a God like you? Who forgeves iniquity and passes over the transgression of
12:39
the remnant of his heritage? That's a good question. Who is he?
12:45
Who is a God like him? Sonny? Right now, people think that
12:50
the God of Islam, the God of the Christians, is the same God.
12:54
People think that all roads lead to this same God. People think that
13:01
no matter who you believe in or what you believe in, we're all going
13:03
to get to the same place. And that right there is not true.
13:09
God is God all by himself. He shows up as the Father, he
13:13
shows up as rock Eloheim, Holy Spirit, he shows up as a son
13:18
Jesus, the Lord, the Christ of Nazareth. Amen. And if you
13:22
believe in First Mentions, we know that although in the New Testament we see
13:28
Holy Spirit as the third person in the Trinity, if you believe in First
13:31
Mentions, you can't deny that in the Book of Genesis rock Elohem, holy
13:35
Spirit shows up as the second person. In creation we have the Father of
13:43
Holy Spirit. And then we have the Light of the world, which when
13:46
Jesus said he is a lot of the world. Then we can connect that
13:50
back to the creation story of Genesis. Quick overview of a Bible study that
13:54
you could do on your own. In the Book of Genesis, the first
13:58
chapter, it's all there. He retains not his anger forever, Thank you
14:03
Jesus, because he delights in mercy and loving kindness. He will again have
14:11
compassion on us. He will subdue and tread underfoot our iniquities. You will
14:18
cast all our sins into the depths of the sea, and to not go
14:26
there anymore. Amen. This is where we come back home. This is
14:31
where we come back home to the Word. We come back home to the
14:35
forgiveness, We come back home to the promises of God. We come back
14:39
home to the mercy of God. We come back home to the God who
14:43
can do all of this, to a God who is not angry forever.
14:48
A lot of people think that we serve a God who is always angry and
14:50
waiting to punish people for doing wrong things. If that were the case,
14:56
there will be no people left on this planet. Amen. Think about it,
15:01
Michael. Chapter seven, we'll say teen nineteen. And the cross references
15:05
right here Psalm Psalms one O three verse twelve. Psalms one O three verse
15:11
twelve. The Bible from firms itself. Amen. So, although a lot
15:18
of people say there's a lot of errors and contradictions in the Bible, I
15:22
have yet for someone to show me one. And I know the popular ones.
15:26
I could give you what you might think is a trans not a mistranslation
15:33
or a mistake. I could give you the popular ones, but that's not
15:37
for today, and it's just misunderstandings of the scripture. And can I remind
15:41
you that there's no contradictions in the Bible. But can I remind you that
15:46
the Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, right, and it
15:52
was translated into English if you're an English speaking person or trans into Latin.
16:00
If you're a Spanish person on speaking person. So if you really want the
16:07
meaning of some words that really don't translate properly into English from the Greek or
16:12
from the Hebrew, you have to do a word study. I know it
16:17
might sound like it's going to take a long long time to do word studies,
16:21
But if you're going around accusing being an error, cruising the Word of
16:27
God to be full of errors, you should want to have to prove it,
16:32
or you should want to prove it right by looking at the original language
16:37
and seeing what's going on with the translators. And it could it be that
16:41
the errors that people think that of the scriptures are because of mistranslations? Could
16:48
it be of human error? I think it could be. I go to
16:52
a bilingual church. Sometimes when a translator is translating, some words are like
17:00
hard to translate to get the meaning across, you know what I mean?
17:04
So the preacher might be saying one thing and translator might be like, how
17:08
do I express that in Spanish? How do I express that in a different
17:12
language to capture the same idea that the preacher is talking about? So why
17:21
wouldn't that be the situation for some translators of the Holy Scriptures. Right.
17:27
We put too much emphasis and too much reliability on human understanding reading a God
17:34
scripture, reading a book that God inspired men to write. Right. I'm
17:41
taking my time and I'm speaking real slow because a lot of people have issues
17:47
with the Bible because they don't think clearly about what they're reading and how they're
17:55
reading it right. I'm an English speaking person, little bit of Spanish sometimes,
18:02
but I read in English most of the time. I literally know how
18:06
to read Spanish, but I read English most of the time. So when
18:10
I look at the scriptures, if something doesn't make sense the ways written out,
18:15
I look at it through a word study. Why is this word here?
18:19
Shouldn't say this? I'm English speaking, This doesn't make any sense.
18:25
So you take the words that don't make sense in your mind and you just
18:29
do a word study. You look up the word in its original language so
18:33
you could see the context of why that word is there. And most of
18:37
the time, not all the time. Most of the time you'll be like,
18:41
Okay, now it makes sense. I say most of the time,
18:44
because I've run into certain scriptures that I still don't understand right even doing the
18:49
word study. So I rely on Holy spirit to guide me into all truth.
18:53
You should do the same, Amen. So what do we have here
18:57
when we're coming back home to a place where God forgives, a place where
19:03
God has mercy, a place where God is not angry at you. His
19:07
anger is we just read it. His anger is not going to be forever.
19:11
It's not forever. Amen. Is a God like you who pardons sin
19:18
and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance, so basically his own
19:26
people. We're grafted in as a Christian. Amen. I am not Hebrew,
19:32
but I'm a Christian because I'm adopted into the family, into the body
19:37
of Christ through what the Lord Jesus did, not by what my ancestors did,
19:41
not, by what your ancestors did, not, by what this country
19:45
did, none of that. I'm adopted because of the sacrifice and the finished
19:51
work of the Lord Jesus Christ. And if you're a believer in Christ,
19:55
so are you. We're adopted into the family. A lot of people,
19:59
a lot of our brother and sisters, have strayed away because this world's system
20:03
paints itself to be so glorious, so pleasing, so satisfying. When people
20:08
get on that road and they get kind of lost, lost in the sauce
20:14
I call it, and then they lose their weight, and then they turn
20:18
around like where am I? And they need to come back home. We
20:22
could be the people to help our brothers and sisters in Christ to come back
20:26
home to forgiving God, to a forgiving father, to a father who's not
20:30
angry all the time. Amen. The Bible says you do not stay angry
20:34
forever, but the light to show mercy, that mercy is needed. Right,
20:41
Lord, have mercy. It's not just a saying, Lord, have
20:45
mercy, is a reality. It's relevant to our time. So yesterday to
20:49
today and forever more, the mercy of God is available. Amen, you
20:55
again, you will again have compassion on us. Right. God is always
21:00
looking for people to have compassion on so much need in this world. And
21:07
people say, well, why would God allow this and why would God allow
21:11
that? Listen, I don't know why things are allowed, but I know
21:14
there's a God. The God who allows these things to happen. Is because
21:18
right the brokenness and fallenness of this world and bad things are going to happen.
21:23
We can't always blaming on the Lord. We can't always blame it on
21:27
God. It's impossible to blame everything on God when we know that God is
21:32
good, He's sovereign, and yes, he is not immoral. I've heard
21:37
this argument so many times. Your gods are the moral God. Look at
21:41
the Canaanites, and why would God command these people to wipe these people out?
21:45
And why would this happen? Why would that happen? All these wives?
21:48
And they're putting a scale of morality above God. So people I call
21:55
him humanists, right, arrogant humanists are putting them morality, their system of
22:00
morality, what's right and wrong above the God who pardons sin, who forgives
22:07
the transgression of the remnant of inhabitants, who never stays angry forever, a
22:12
man who delights. And they don't show you the scriptures, right, because
22:17
they would contradict their argument. But they would show you scriptures of people dying
22:22
and babies dying and animals and people getting killed in war, as if that's
22:30
not happening now, incredible arrogance, right of those people. You will again
22:37
have compassion on us. They won't read the scripture, amen, because it
22:41
won't it won't help their argument. You will again have compassion on us.
22:45
You would tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of
22:53
the sea. And guess what, God doesn't go fishing and go fishing and
22:59
get those sins back up out of the sea and reminds you of me of
23:03
our past sins. He doesn't do that. There's no reason for God to
23:07
do that. Amen. And God is sovereign, He's good. Why wouldn't
23:11
we trust in God and come back home? Because some of us, you
23:18
know, are indulging in too much sin, so much, so much of
23:22
the flesh has taken over. And that's why God's God of mercy because came
23:29
you imagine that if every time we sin, we'ld be annihilated for the first
23:33
sin, second sin, third sin. That's why we have a God of
23:37
grace, amazing grace. He's not going to continue to punish like people think,
23:45
Oh God's punishing me, because what I did fifty years ago, ten
23:48
years ago, five minutes ago, obviously real live and I'm alive is the
23:53
grace of God. Know all that explanation. It's not anything that we have
23:59
done to persuade the Lord to keep us here breathing. No, it's the
24:03
mercy of God, the compassion of God. He's a forgiving God. So
24:07
come back home. Amen. Our arms are wide open, but more importantly,
24:12
God's word and his arms are wide open for you to come back home.
24:17
I pray you do that today. If that's you, If you find
24:21
yourself in a place of barrenness and your loss and you're out there, come
24:25
back home. Micah Chapter seven. Read the whole chapter for yourself. I'm
24:29
out of time, but thank you so much for hanging out with me for
24:32
the morning. Devo. God bless you all. God keep you all,
24:36
and remember always that God is good. Peast
