• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wanning. Good morning, fam God bless you. Welcome back to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the morning. DEVO is your brother Sam Lopez aka DJ
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Sam Rock, and we hear once again back with the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: incredible word of God. Amen. But today's Friday. So we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: switched gears and we call this authentic imitationology. This is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: episode number eighty seven. I can't believe how far we've
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: been going, Amen, with authentic invitationology, which started last year
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: some time ago. Amen. And God gave me two words,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: authentic and imitationology. And I knew for sure that imitationology
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was probably not a word. But when God gives you
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: something new, Amen, it's new to you. It's new, it's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: new to me. Amen. So when he started explaining what
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: those two words together meant. Amen, he explained to me
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that authentically imitating the most successful person who has ever
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: lived on this and on Earth is him Jesus. Amen.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And we're supposed to imitate Christ. Amen. We're supposed to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: imitate God. Amen, as the word tells us to imitate. Amen.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So this one is called perfect timing. Perfect timing. How
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: many people know that when God shows up, God shows
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up in the perfect timing, it might not be when
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we want him to show up. Amen? How many times
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we need we need a God like yesterday asap it
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: seemed that way, and then when God shows up, we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: were like, Okay, that was the perfect timing. He really
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: came through. Amen. So that's why I believe the Word says,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: don't worry, don't worry, put your trust, hope and faith
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in him. Don't worry. What is worry going to do
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: for you? What's what we're going to do for me? Naba? Nothing? Amen?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: We need to just trust him, put our faith, hoping
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and trusting the one who loves us, the one who
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: cares for us, the one who wants to change us,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: transform us, renew us, restore us, redeem us, continue to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: ignite that fire in us at his perfect timing. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that's what we're going to be talking about today on
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Authentic Invitationality Episode number eighty seven. Trust in God shows
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: confidence that his timing is perfect. When we put our
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: trust in God, we are showing the world that we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have confidence in the living, holy, righteous, loving God that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they are always making fun of ridiculing this world system. Amen,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it's the world system. It's being fueled by the anti
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Christ spirit that's already here. The Word says, and also
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it's built off of lust, pride, envy, right, so we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be too surprised of what the world system is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: doing and what the people that are not saved are doing.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They're going against the very one who died for them. Amen.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So that brings compassion to my heart. I know they
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: feel sorry for us. They said, all you Christians, you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: believe in the invisible God, you believe in the fantasy world.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You're in this. I know they seem like they're feeling
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: sorry for us. But in turn and actuality, Amen, we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: have compassion for them. That's why, if you haven't noticed,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they ridicule and they make fun of Christianity. They make
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: fun of our Christ all over social media, on the media,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in movies and olympics, all that because they don't understand
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: who we serve, and they're looking at our actions as
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: evidence or argument to why they don't believe in God.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Because when they see a brother or sister in Christ
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: acting wild, acting crazy, or in era or in sin,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they say they start pointing the finger. It's actually inspired
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: by the devil when they do that. Because now they're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: trying to pick and choose who should they make fun of.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Of what religion should they make fun of?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Notice that they don't make fun of Islam. They don't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: make fun of the prophet Mohammed, because it'll be a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: little different in the consequences when they make fun of us.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: We just talk back, fight back by way of prayer,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: by way of love, compassion, and also by rebuke, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we show them, listen, that's very disrespectful. Try out to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: do that again. And then we keep it moving because
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we're about the kingdom life. We're not about the kingdom
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of this world. We're about the Kingdom of God. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: then we invite them, We forgive them so they know.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: They say, well, that's a light religion. So we make
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fun of them. They're not gonna do or anything. Amen.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But they don't know the scriptures. But just in case
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted to know the scriptures, the Bible says, do
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not be deceived. God is not mocked. When a man sows,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he will reap where he reaps he was. So amen,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you make fun of God, Amen, so you'll reap that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: unless you repent, turn from that simful way and turn
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: towards the righteousness of God, which is the Lord Jesus.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So today we're gonna be in Habakuk. I don't know
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: if it's Hacok or Habakuk, so let's just say Haber
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Cook chapter number two, verses three and four on Today's

• 6:39
  Speaker 1: set free from the bondage of all kinds of sin,
• 6:42

  Speaker 1: Now we have the mind of Christ. Thank you, Lord God,

  Speaker 1: Lord God, the light of price, which is a blazing
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: light to shine brightly on every single person that's listening

• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and do the same for every single person who's seeking truth,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not just happiness, but seeking truth. In this world is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: such full lies and all that deceit, that you would
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: give us the truth the way in the life, which
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you have already done in the name of Jesus. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: prayed this by faith with thanksgiving, and those who agree
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: we say amen and Amen. So let's go for it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Help me share this out for sixty seconds, share it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to your friends, check somebody, or let somebody know about
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the website. So winners with a Z that org they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: can watch there or listen there as well. Amen, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: we'll conside to go from there. Amen. So I'll be
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: right back. Amen. Amen, We're back, We're back. Let's go
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's see what the Word of God has
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for us today. Amen, in the scriptures of all places.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, I hardly rarely I have a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: look at this book Habit Cook. But we're going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be there because the Lord let me there. Amen. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: if you are a Bible scholar or you're in that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: word heavy, Amen, help a brother out, help me understand
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the book a hab a Cook. But we're going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: be there in chapter number two in a couple of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: minutes here as I set it up on the screen.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And that's just you know, my bad. Amen. I stay
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in a New Testament way more than I go into
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Old Covenant. But I started noticing if we don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: know a lot about the Old Covenant the New Covenant,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it won't blend as much, Amen, the way the Word
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is meant to blend. I'm supposed to know. We're supposed
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to know what happened in the past, so we could
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: see what was happening in the future and then the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: present time. Amen. So or my Bible study tactics have
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: been changing because I want I want it all. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: don't know about you. I want to know as much
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: as I can about our Lord, our God, Amen, our Savior,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: as much as I can before I actually meet him
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: for all eternity. But on this side, Amen, we need
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to know what we know who. We need to know
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: who we know, Amen. And we're supposed to be able
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to explain the reason why we believe to those who
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: ask us, hey, why do you believe in and Jesus
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: as God? Amen. We need to have a reason. And man,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a reason, Amen, just ask God
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to give you a reason. That's number one. Number two,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you could just share your testimony. A lot of people
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: want to argue through the Bible and then say, oh,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that's not real and that's not facts and it's changed
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So simply you could share your testimony.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Simply share your testimony. Sometimes that will ease up the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: tension and the other person because remember, we don't know
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: their story, but we know our story, Amen, and we
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: could share it. If they're willing to listen to see
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: our God has changed our lives and transformed us and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: renewed us and restored us, maybe they'll be Because I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: could be Why wouldn't God be able to do that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: for them? Amen? A transformation will happen when you put
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: your whole faith and trust in the living God, not
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a dead God, not an idol, but in the living God.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: That's why happens. He shows up and it's perfect timing. Amen.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And it is perfect timing. So let's go for it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see what the Word says today on the authentic
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: imitationology perfect timing. I'm calling this one and this is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the scripture that he sent me to Habaka chapter two,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: verses three and four. This vision is for a future time.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a bold statement the word of God. See that it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: patiently for it. It will surely take place. Who's been
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in that waiting period. I've been there plenty of times, Amen.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm there now, waiting on a promise, but doing
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: as I'm waiting and not just sitting in my studio
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: looking at this and be like, Okay, God, I'm going
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to wait here until it happens. No, I'm doing something
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: while I'm waiting. So if it seems slow in coming,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: not be delayed. Look at the proud they trust in themselves,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: by their faithfulness to God. Amen. Trust God, he is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: showing up. This version says I will be joyful in God,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: my savior, or it says, but the righteous will live
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: by his faith. So incredibly enough, if you have a vision,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I will give you a vision of the future. Time
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: show you the end. We have the Book of Revelation,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: we have Daniel, we have this scripture right here and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: have a cook. We have the prophets, we have the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Creation story, and then we have Matthew, Mark, Luca, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: John showing what Jesus did and how he showed up
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: on time. So we got this. Amen, we could do this.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We can move forward in victory knowing that He has
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the perfect timing in our hearts, in our lives, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's already set up. We're fighting a good fight and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it's a fixed fight. We win. Amen. But in the meantime,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't stop fighting for what is right. Do what God
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: calls you to do. Sister Kay Cash White, God bless you.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning. Devo it's good to see my sister,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: my friend. Blessings to you and your husband and your
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: ministry over there at GAB Amen. And what a blessing
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: this sister has been online as well in my life
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and in so many others lives. Keep on doing what
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you're doing, sister. It's good to see you on the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: morning DEVO. It's early, right, so listen, let's make sure
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that we're not trying to run ahead of what God
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is doing in our lives. And people say that's impossible,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: there's no way you could run ahead of God. Really,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: look at your you, look at your plans, look at
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: your look at your schedule, look at your calendar. Amen.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And you might be thinking, hey, you know I'm doing
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this and I'm doing that, so I'm somebody. Amen. But
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: if those plans are not let me say this real slow,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: if those plans are not what God planned for your life,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be doing things in vain because it's not
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be His power in your plans is going to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be our power, and our power will power. That thing
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: runs drive real quick. But when you're in alignment with
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: God's plan and it's perfect timing and you're waiting on
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Lord. He shows your vision, and you think it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: slow to come. Don't think it's slow or delayed. It's coming,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and it's perfect timing. Amen. God knows exactly exactly, Amen,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: what he's doing exactly. Amen. So perfect timing of God
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is perfect. It's exactly that we had a promise. More,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: if I had a promise of a child coming and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: we waited for that promise for close to sixteen years
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: before it actually came to pass, you think that was easy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: You think the waiting process is easy. It was easy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You think all these prophets that were coming and prophet
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: signed the same thing to us over and over again,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was easy to hear. After five years you're like, Okay,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: ten years, you're like, yeah, I don't want to hear
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it no more for real. Now I'm just keeping it real.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: We didn't want to hear that no more. We didn't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: want to hear the prophecy no more. We thought that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: God's word wasn't going to come to pass. To be honest,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: at least me on my side, I was just going
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: with the flow, taking the punches, and I started trying
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to convince myself that I deserved punishment. That's how I was.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I was trying to convince myself, yeah, we must have
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: heard wrong. But then I was like, you know what,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: because I'm stubborn, I trust God. So I started saying,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know what, forget, I'm gonna just trust God. And
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we weren't just waiting for the promise. We were doing
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: ministry and we were doing good works, and we were
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: in the Word and we were loving one another. Amen.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: As we were waiting for the promise until one day
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: we just gave up our own ideas of how this
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: was going to all pan out. And then we just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: put in the back in the Lord's hands. And then boom,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: another man of God came and spoke over me, Amen,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and he said, listen, don't be anxious, don't worry. Just
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: know that if he promised you something, that promise is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: going to come to pass. But it's not going to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: come to pass that we wanted to come to pass.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: It's going to be God's perfect timing on the matter.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And boy did he fat promise and he set me straight. Amen.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And it's because of this. It's because of this, Amen,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: trust God. Amen. It's because of this God's letting me
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: know and letting us all know that he's got and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: we're not. So you ever been in a plane, So
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: before you take off on that plane, you're seeing everything
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that everybody else is seeing on the ground level. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: once you get high in that sky and then you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: start flying over things, you start noticing, Wow, I lived
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in this every all the time. I never knew that
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it looked like this from so high above. Now you
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: can see more and more and more of your own
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: city from where you're flying out of which you probably
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: thought you knew everything about. And then you start seeing
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: buildings and houses and homes and places that you never
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: noticed before because you are on ground level. But once
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you're on a higher level, you can see more. God
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: is in the highest level. We're seated and heavily places,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, but he's on the higher level. He's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: on the highest level. He sees it all. We have
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a vision that we see kind of like dimly, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: we kind of like see things. We're limited, but God
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is limitless. And when he promises something, and promises you,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: promises me something, his time is perfect. It's going to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: come to pass. Is gonna happen. Amen, So let me
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: encourage somebody. It's been a long time keep on waiting,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: trust God. Eliminate any worry, eliminate any anxiety, eliminate any
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: false profit from your life. Amen. That's saying, oh, well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: God's not going to show up. If he promise you something,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: He's going to show up, but it's going according to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: his timing. I don't know your situation. You might not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: know my situation. Why was the promise delayed? According to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: how I was thinking with The scripture says that once
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: your prayer is heard, it's heard. Amen. But a lot
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of things in the spiritual realm that we don't see
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: with our bare eyes are happening. And maybe the angel
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that had the message that had to promise was delayed
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: because of some warfare, spiritual warfare. I don't know. But
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: all I know is guess what the promise came to pass?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And not only the one promise he gave us, a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: double promise, Amen. Surprised as a blessing? Are we special?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Did we deserve it? He thinks so? He thought so, Amen,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: But I don't think so, But God thinks so.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust God on everything, even in the part
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of who do I think I am? I think I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a child of God. I know I'm a child of God.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Know I'm my son of God, your daughter God. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you should know that, Amen, And he should be bold
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: enough to declare God's perfect timing over your own situation,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: over your own life. I'm one right now, Lord have
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: your way. Amen. Amen, I'm on one right now. Yes,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the promises of God are There's no equal to it. Amen.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: This world. I remember when I was in this world.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: The world promised so much. So I did a lot right,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and the world said, if you do this, you'll get
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: this result. If you drink this, you'll get this result.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You smoke that, you get that result. You get with
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that girl, you get this? Did it all? I fell
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: into that trap right, and I noticed something at the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: end of that road. I was like, I'm still empty, unsatisfied. Okay,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I did it all? Now what that type of thing?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: And that's how I came to the Lord, drunk and high,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, I did with the world promise.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It was all the lies. So there got to be
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: more than this. Amen. And in God's perfect timing, when
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I called on him, he responded in his perfect timing.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Now do I wish I had called on God when
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I was young? Did I called on God when I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: was thirty years old? Yeah? I wish I would have
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: called on him when I was ten years old, twelve
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: years old, fifteen years old. Amen, But didn't happened that way.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I made some decisions that caused consequences and the delay
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of the promise. Somebody had to be praying for me
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: all my life because I got out of some situations
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that it is not possible for me to be sitting
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: here in the studio right now other than the grace
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and mercy of God and somebody praying for me. But
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: at that age of thirty years old, after I had
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: all the battle scars and tried the world, and I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: smelled like the world, acted like the world. I was
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in the world. I was of the world, and doing
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: all of that, I was like, Okay, they gotta be more.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I was unsatisfied. I was lonely, surrounded by fifteen guys
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: all the time or whatever, hanging out, smoking, drinking, all
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of that so called fun. I was still empty. So
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, Nah, somebody's lying to me. And I said,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: let me try this guy that people are talking about.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: So I tried them for myself, and I asked him,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: can you change me. That'll be the only, the only
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: way I would believe in God if he was able
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to change me. I knew exactly who I was, I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: knew where I was going. I know I knew what
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I did at that point, and I wasn't happy or
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: proud of it. But then Guy's responded. His response was
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: perfect timing in my life. Amen, change me, transformed me,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: renewed me, redeem me, restored me. Am. I still fighting
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a good fight of faith. Absolutely do. I still fight
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the flesh, absolutely do. I still mess up very few times,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mess up. Amen, But now I know better.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Because when you know the best, when you know God,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you start doing better in your life. When you have
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the light, Amen, you start knowing that you shouldn't be
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: walking in darkness. When you love the righteousness of God,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: sin become We become allergic to sin, right, and we don't.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: We don't. We're not bound by sin no more, just
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: like we're not bound by the law anymore. We're in grace, Amen,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of God. We're not bound by sin because sin leads
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to what death. But the Bible is clear. That's why
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I love the word of God. The Bible is honest
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: with us. The Bible says sin is pleasurable. Sin is
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: pleasurable for a season. So people who say, oh sin,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I used to say sin is whack, but I recanted.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I said, no, sin is not whack. Sin, it's actually pleasurable. Amen.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: There was a little campaign going on a couple of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: years ago, like five five years ago, sin is whack.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: It was a campaign. People had it on their shirts
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and all that the consequences of sin is whack. But
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: sin itself it's pleasurable according to the scriptures. So I said,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, we're trying to make up some things
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that the scriptures don't say. So I'm gonna get off
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: that bandwagon and get back on to the scriptures. Amen.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But in God's perfect timing, he would show you exactly
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: what you need to do, Amen, asap. Now, if you're
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: driving on the road and you see these signs that
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: say don't go any further than these signs, and you're
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: doing like sixty miles an hour, and in your mind
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you decide, you know what, I'm gonna disobey those signs.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on moving forward. Say it's that night
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it's raining, slippery on the road, and you keep on
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: going because you decided to disobey the signs, the signals,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the stops or whatever, and you keep on going and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you realize that after you pass that sign there was
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: no more road, and there was. That's why they told
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you to stop. Don't go any further than this, because
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: if you do, and it's at night, you don't see clearly,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna fall off a cliff. A lot of people
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: living their lives like that. God's give you all kind
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of signs. He's showing up in your prayer, he's showing
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: up in your life. He's given you warnings, signs, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: you still going sixty miles an hour past it. And
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: then you blame God. Amen, because I did this. You
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: blame God for the fall right, and say he should
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: have told me. He did tell you, He sent you signs.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He came into perfect timing you thought, and I thought
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that he was being delayed or slow. The Bible says
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Habakuk chapter two, verses three and four, whe the revelation
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of waits in appointed time. Amen, and that time. Sometimes
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: God will put a sign before the time is coming.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He'll say, hey, it's almost there. Wait a little longer.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Imagine giving up on a day before the promise comes
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to pass and you go back to the world, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: then at the end of it, God shows you Listen,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: why did you stop believing or why did you stop trusting?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Or why did you stop waiting on me? Because you
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: know he was only like twenty four hours away for
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that promise to come to pass. And if I say, oh, man,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you are too slow, this, that, and third, my arrogance
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: would have been like just like nonsense. Because Bible, says
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: haber Cook two and three, Chapter two, Verses three and four,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it speaks of the end and will not prove false
• 26:20
