Link Arms [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

0:03
Our blessed you, God, bless your family. Welcome back to the morning.
0:06
Devo's a new week, a new day, a new start, another
0:08
chance. Amen. If you're alive and breathing right now, that means God
0:12
has a purpose, continual purpose, right now, right here on this side
0:17
of eternity, for your life. Amen. Don't let the devil say you
0:22
know you're done, you're washed up, but you did last time disqualifies you.
0:28
That. Don't let the devil do that to you. Don't let him
0:30
play you like that. He's a liar. He's been lygned since the beginning.
0:33
So don't trust the liar. Never trust the liar. Right. Trust
0:37
God. God is all truth all the time. Amen. In him,
0:40
there's only light. There's no darkness and no shadow of turning or no variants
0:45
of truth. There's one way, one life, and one truth. Amen.
0:50
And that's the Lord Jesus Christ. So thank God for another day.
0:53
Right, we're here. You know how we got here until this day?
0:57
Amen, we are here and today from the time of this according we're expecting
1:00
here on the east coast a look at an eclipse. Amen. So ay
1:06
man, that's gonna happen today. They actually gave my daughter the day off
1:10
because of the eclipse, and other schools are closing, and all of that
1:15
is happening today, But today's a new day. God knows what's happening before
1:19
it happens, and he's control and he owns and runs the world the way
1:26
it operates. The rule of the world system is the enemy, but God
1:30
overrules, oversees everything, including the enemy. The enemy, the devil is
1:36
on the Lord's leash. Amen, So he can only go as far as
1:40
the Lord allows him to go. As a matter of fact, if you're
1:44
a believer, you're a believer. You have the authority to only allow the
1:49
enemy to go as far as the Word says he can go. So don't
1:57
believe him. He's a liar. He doesn't have anything already over you or
2:00
over me, Amen, And he's powerless when it comes to the word of
2:05
God. You speak the word of the Lord. Amen. Resist, submit
2:09
to God. The Bible says, submit to God, submit your whole life
2:14
to the Lord. Resist the devil, and guess who'll be running us.
2:17
No, he'll be running. So today I'm gonna remind us and remind myself
2:23
that we can't do this alone. And I'm calling this one link arms like
2:27
link arms, arm in arm with another believer, with somebody you could trust,
2:30
somebody who's faithful to the Lord. Amen. I always suggests male to
2:36
male females, a female, just for precautions. But you know who that
2:40
person is. You know who he could trust. Amen, with the things
2:44
of the faith, things of the Lord. Amen, link arms with that
2:47
person or with those people or with that community. Amen. That is holy
2:52
goes filled, knows the Word, seeks after the Kingdom of God first and
2:57
the righteousness of the Lord and all that. You know who those people are
3:00
because they stand out. Amen. We're not only called out, We're supposed
3:04
to stand out. Amen to this world to show the love of God,
3:08
the kindness of God. Right. We do that by way of Holy Spirit,
3:12
the indwelling power of Holy Spirit. God. We do that because we
3:15
know we are able to do according to what God's Word says we can do
3:20
in our lives. Amen. In this world as well. Since to Joanne,
3:23
I see you, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
3:25
the morning. Devo. New start. Today we have the eclipse, so
3:29
you know, let's be prepared for whatever happens. Amen. In the Lord.
3:35
In the Lord, have you experienced the benefits of having a mentor in
3:39
the faith. I'll raise my hand right now. I've been blessed to meet
3:44
mentors and to have spiritual parents, and to have people that speak life into
3:49
my life. Amen. I don't know a lot about the scriptures, believe
3:52
it or not. The people I follow and the people that I allow to
3:54
speak into my life know way more. Amen. So I'm learning, just
3:59
like you're learning. A man. You might be listening or watching and no
4:02
more than me of the scriptures, and that's okay, a man, we're
4:05
all learning. I wasn't born, born again believer, and neither were you.
4:12
I know, and I understand when people say I was raised in the
4:15
church, so I knew God all my life. I understand where they're coming
4:19
from. But I also need to remind them that's not true. The Bible
4:24
says we're all born in sin and men, and so we have a personal
4:28
encounter with the Living God, the God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The
4:32
only way we could become children of God is if we're born again. Amen.
4:38
I'm not born in the flesh. We're all born in the flesh,
4:41
and the flesh is corrupt. The flesh is a monster. The flesh causes
4:44
you to sin. The flesh causes you to do all kinds of things that
4:47
are opposite or opposed to what the spirit wants to do. But in the
4:51
spirit, when you're born again, when your blood washed by the lamb of
4:57
God, and the sacrifice has been done and for us, Amen, then
5:01
you are benefited with the Kingdom of God, and you now call yourself a
5:06
child of God. There's no other way. Scriptures is clear. So have
5:10
you ever experienced the benefits of having a mentor in the faith? If not?
5:15
If not, how might linking arms which someone help you as you grow
5:20
and mature in your faith? Think about it. Since we can't do it
5:25
alone, let's gather up together. Let's get together, Amen, and gather
5:29
up other people who are filled with God's Word, filled with Holy Spirit God,
5:32
and are ready to link arms. We're gonna be Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes,
5:36
chapter four, verses nine to twelve. Ecclesiastes The Old Covenant, chapter number
5:42
four, verses nine to twelve. And I believe that's Solomon. Amen.
5:46
We call those the wisdom books Proverbs. Ecclesiastes call those wisdom books. Amen.
5:51
And we're going to be picking the brain right of King Solomon. Amen
5:58
Sis Johanna said, I ask all my brother and sisters to please pray for
6:00
my son. He goes for surgery today and it's around his heart. Yesterday
6:05
I went into a panic attack and felt like I was dying. My son
6:11
called the ambulance and they took me to the hospital. I don't know what
6:15
is going on with our free like I do love my kids, and I
6:21
do believe in my Lord. Amen, in Jesus Name, we pray peace
6:27
over your mind, soul, and body in Jesus Name. Right now,
6:30
peace over your body, sister Joan in Jesus Name, praying for you your
6:34
family during this time. In Jesus Name, Thank you so much. And
6:39
Man, you never corrected me. Your sister told me, you know,
6:41
you say my brother's name wrong. It's Kavon, not Kevin. Amen,
6:46
so welcome back Kaevon. Amen to the morning Devo. You could have correct
6:49
me. Man. I always I butcher people's names, and I hate when
6:54
I do that. Amen, just correct me and say, Yo, that's
6:56
not the way my name I'm supposed to be pronounced. But sister said,
7:00
listen, man, it's okay. But he won't correct you. But his
7:02
name is Kavon. I hope I'm saying it right now. Amen. So
7:06
let's go for it. Let's go for it. We're gonna pray first.
7:11
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
7:14
don't hesitate to leave it on the live chat. That's what we're here for.
7:17
We're here to link arms right in prayer, in the word, and
7:21
to devote our first part of the day to the Lord Jesus. He deserves
7:25
it, man. And when you do that, you're setting your day up
7:29
for God to move and for God to be more present. He's always here,
7:33
but I mean more present in our minds. We know we're more focused
7:38
on the author and perfector of our faith. Amen. And he's able to
7:41
do what he wants to do in our lives. So let's go for it.
7:44
Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll shut us out for like
7:46
sixty seconds. We'll share it out sixty seconds, and then on the other
7:49
side of those sixty seconds, we'll dive right into link arms. Ecclesiastes,
7:54
chapter number four, verses nine to twelve. Let's go for it. Father,
7:59
I thank you, I thank you for every single person connecting now who
8:03
will connect later. Thank you, Lord God for whatever's going to happen during
8:05
this eclipse. That Lord God, you are sovereign in control, and that
8:09
you will encourage us and gather your children together to pray and to honor you
8:16
and to worship you in spirit and in truth. I pray log out a
8:20
headge of protection. I thank you Lord God for health, for strength,
8:24
for protection, and thank you Lo God for your guidance by way of Holy
8:26
Spirit over my life and over every single one of my friends and family's life.
8:31
In Jesus's powerful name, I pray log out of heage of protection over
8:33
my household, over my marriage, over my children, and Jesus name will
8:37
come against any demonic influence, any demonic attack by the enemy. In Jesus
8:43
name, I pray forth the ark Ween angel and the ministry angels, the
8:46
warring angels to annihilate the tactics of the enemies, the enemy that's trying to
8:50
develop some kind of scheme against us. And Lord God, I thank you
8:54
for your word that in your word we find victory, we find love,
8:58
we find mercy, we find grace, we find power, we find authority
9:01
and we find Lord God, all good things that come from your word are
9:05
true and are reliable. So I pray peace be still over all hearts and
9:09
minds come against panic attacks anxiety. And Jesus Name, and I thank you,
9:15
Lord God that we can link arms together. And these prayers and these
9:18
morning DeVos were other believers. And we know that we have a king,
9:22
and we're in the kingdom that rules and reigns in this earth. And Jesus
9:26
Name, I give you glory, honor, worship, and my thanks in
9:30
Jesus Name. And those who agree, we say, amen and amen,
9:33
let's go for sixty seconds to share this out. When we come back,
9:35
we'll get right into Ecclesiastes, chapter number four, verses nine to twelve.
9:41
I'll be right back. Hey, man, man, we're back. Let's
10:58
go for it. Man, Let's see what the Word has for us to
11:00
day. Amen and listen. The Word of God is alive. That's why
11:03
every time we read it we feel something. We feel the presence of the
11:07
author. Because every time we read the Holy scriptures, Amen, we have
11:11
the inspiration of the Holy God that wrote it, a man inspired by him.
11:16
When you read the word uninspired. And I'll say this all the way
11:18
to Heaven comes and gets me right. Uninspired reading of the Word of God
11:24
will seem like gibberish nonsense. Right. The Bible says that the gospel message
11:31
of the Lord Jesus Christ is foolishness to those who are perishing, those who
11:35
are without Holy spirit God, those who are dying in their sin. And
11:39
I know that for sure because when I used to read the scriptures uninspired,
11:43
before Jesus changed me and rescued me and saved me. A man, I
11:46
used to look at us. I don't understand what this book is all about.
11:48
It's a bunch of stories and fake legends and all this stuff. But
11:52
when you put your heart and soul into this, Amen, and you're born
11:56
again and you read this, man, this word just explosive out of the
12:00
pages, and you'll start highlighting stuff, you start writing notes, you'll really
12:03
get into it because you're like man, this word feeds your soul, activates
12:07
your faith, Amen, and gives you your purpose and plan that God has
12:13
revealed in his Word for your life. And it's private and personal, but
12:18
we make it public because we can't contain this. I know I can't contain
12:20
this is fire. Shut up. In my bones that Jeremiah fire that listen.
12:24
This is too much inside of me for me not to share. Amen.
12:28
And what's inside of me is the only thing that's good. Amen,
12:31
Holy Spirit, God. The flesh is weak, spirit is always willing.
12:35
But I continue to believe in trust in God, no matter what happens to
12:39
me or my life. I know for sure that God is real, Amen.
12:43
And I hope you get that in your life as well. That understanding
12:46
your faith, Amen, is to put your faith and hope and trust in
12:50
the Lord Jesus. He's the the Way, the truth, and the life.
12:54
No man comes to the Father except through him. And that's a powerful
12:58
statement. He made it. I believe he said it. I believe it.
13:01
Amen. I'm just repeating what the Word says. Amen. That's what
13:03
I do over here on the morning Devo. Link arms on the morning Devo.
13:07
Amen. And see I put the graphic of the two ladies with that
13:11
big medicine ball. Amen. Linking arms. You know one passes to the
13:16
other. Amen. And if you know about this walk and you know about
13:18
life, man, it takes a lot of strength sometimes to get to the
13:22
next day. Right. And when you link arms to somebody who loves you
13:26
when you link arms to somebody who's inspired by Holy Spirit. Amen. Those
13:30
heavy burdens. Amen. We're supposed to share the burdens, but we're supposed
13:35
to lift those burdens up and take them up to the Lord and leave them
13:39
with the Lord. He said, if you're wearying burdened, come to me
13:43
and I will give you rest. Amen. But that's why I know we
13:46
can't do some loon. Ecclesiastes, chapter four, verses nine to twelve says
13:50
it like this, sue are better than one. And I think we know
13:56
that, right. I think we grew up knowing that, or before Christ
14:01
we even knew that. We knew two were better than one, because when
14:05
you do things with another person, things become easier. If you're lifting something,
14:09
it's easier to lift with two people most of the time. Right,
14:13
if you're trying to strategize a business or trying to pass a test in school,
14:20
or two is always better than one. Right, if you're trying to
14:24
get into a relationship that's meaningful, you need to and just have one person
14:30
in the relationship. So two are better than one. Why because they have
14:35
a good reward for their toil. For if they fall. Excuse me,
14:39
for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe that
14:46
means cursed. Woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not
14:52
another to lift them up. Wow, that's a scary place to be,
14:56
man, when you're down and out, when they're falling and failing, and
15:03
there's nobody there that's that's next level, like man, that's horrible. Again.
15:11
If two lie together, they keep warm. But how can one keep
15:16
warm alone? Good question? Right. And though a man might prevail against
15:22
one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not
15:31
quickly broken. Other versions say, other translations say three four cold is not
15:37
easily separated. So we need to link arms. Man, this is real
15:41
out here. I was telling a brother just yesterday in church after church,
15:46
I'm saying, it's real out here. Man. The tacks and the enemy
15:50
are real. The world system is corrupt, but God is real and his
15:54
word is real. Amen. And if we don't come together right starting right
16:00
now, find a community of believers. You can't do this alone. Amen.
16:06
I'm useful to some people, but then to others I'm not. Because
16:10
we can't link arms and arms just because of distance, or time or schedule.
16:15
I can help out as much as I can. That's what I'm here
16:17
for. But when you find a community of people that you are close to
16:22
and that you can literally go to and see and they're inspired by Holy Spirit,
16:27
then you have a community of Christ. You go on the body of
16:30
Christ. Amen. And this body that we have of Christ's Amen, is
16:36
the best in the whole entire universe because we're linking arms and arms and His
16:41
word through the power of His Spirit, and we're not letting each other down.
16:45
Now, will I fail you? Probably? Will you fail me?
16:47
Probably? But we run to the one who will never fail us, never
16:52
forsake us. He will forgive us. We can trust him. We could
16:56
give him honored glory and praise because he deserves it. Amen. His word
16:59
is true and he knows that we can't do it alone. So two are
17:03
better than one. Amen. Two is greater than one when two or more
17:07
are gathered in the name of Jesus and we pray. The Lord is in
17:11
the midst of our situation, of our lives, our issues, our problems.
17:18
Amen. He's not in the midst of sin. He's in the midst
17:22
of those who come together two or more in his name. He's in the
17:26
midst of that. Amen. You call upon the Lord for salvation. Bible
17:30
says he will not turn anybody away. Amen. Now I know we're trained
17:37
to the custom of coming to the front of the church and saying a prayer.
17:41
Amen. That's the beginning stage of a relationship. You start by introducing
17:48
yourself. Lord here, I am. My name is Sam. You know
17:52
I need you the introduction. God already knows you. Amen. You're introducing
17:56
yourself, Amen to the Savior. That's the beginning stages. I can't dare
18:00
to say that you're born again after you say a prayer. Amen. But
18:06
my business is to introduce you to the one who can save you. And
18:11
from there Amen. We want to come alongside of those people who did that,
18:15
who take those opportunities, who say those prayers, Amen, and do
18:21
this life alongside of them if they allow us to Amen. Because I know
18:25
a lot of people they say the prayer and they think they're done, So
18:29
I did my holy thing, I'm done, I'm saved, and they go
18:33
right back to the world because they don't know. They don't know that that's
18:37
not how it works. Sue are better and one, and we need to
18:41
come together in faith. We need to get come together in love. You
18:45
can show each other grace, show each other mercy. Amen. Just like
18:48
the Lord did for us, we should be doing to one another. So
18:52
Solomon, his wisdom right was next level. We know that he asks God
18:59
for wisdom and God gave him wisdom, riches, honor. And although it
19:04
was a lot for Solomon and he messed up, but he came back to
19:07
reality, right. He came back to the wisdom that God gave him.
19:15
So when you read Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, Amen, you're getting wisdom from the
19:21
one man, the King, that God gave this wisdom to because he asked
19:26
for it. Many blessings. Good morning to you, doctor Felix Jose Cologne,
19:30
God bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo. Amen. Amen.
19:36
So we're here. But Ecclesiastes is one of those books that when you
19:40
read it, you're like man, the richest man to ever live, the
19:44
wisest man, one of the wisest men to ever live on this earth,
19:48
is being inspired a man inspired by God to write what he wrote down.
19:52
And the wisdom is next level. You know, apply this wisdom in your
19:56
life and see what happens, you will never be the same. Sue are
20:00
better than one. It seems like common sense, but how many know?
20:03
Common sense is out the window right now for a lot of people. I
20:07
believe the only people who have common sense is the people who admit that they
20:12
need somebody else, that they need God. That right there, to me
20:17
is common sense. Sue, are better than one. If I could do
20:19
this all alone, if I could do production, podcasting, radio networks all
20:25
by myself, amen, what sense would it make to share it? I
20:30
don't need nobody, right, I could do it all by myself. But
20:33
we all know that's not true. I need you, you need me,
20:37
We need each other, but most importantly, we need God, God,
20:41
who's sovereign and control, who loves us, who's coming to us and gives
20:45
us everything we need to live this life out in righteousness and holiness. We
20:48
can still do it. God says we can do it, So we could
20:52
do it. Felix says a lot of wisdom in that book. Yes,
20:56
and when we apply it's relevant. Thing about all you know that was for
21:02
those days, not for us no more, it's not for these days.
21:03
It's a bunch of nonsense, and people are afraid to apply the word of
21:07
God. Why are a lot of people afraid to apply the word of God,
21:11
Because they know deep down inside that if they do apply the word of
21:14
God and they're going to change, that lifes are going to be different.
21:17
And a lot of people don't like new. A lot of people don't like
21:19
different, A lot of people don't like change. But God will change your
21:23
life if you ask them to transform your heart in your mind, if you
21:27
ask them to and get out of the way, and His Holy Spirit will
21:30
move man, and you'll find yourself in places that you would never think in
21:34
a hundred years you would be at. But it's a good place when you're
21:38
in Christ, when you're in the Lord, when you do what the Word
21:41
of God says, when you apply the wisdom that was applied to the prophets
21:48
and the Psalmists and the Kings and those that God used to bring his word
21:53
forth. Amen, to bring his word forth. So we here, man,
21:57
we have what we need. We actually have the victory. Amen.
22:00
There is no way of me telling you that you're going to fail when you're
22:04
in the Word. I can't tell you that because it's not true. There's
22:07
no way you're going to fail when you apply the word to God. So
22:11
whatever you apply in your life, Amen, make sure try your best to
22:15
put the word first and then to follow after the word. Don't go before
22:19
the word, Amen, because then if you go before the word, you're
22:23
already you're already losing, because you're going you're doing things on yourself, by
22:30
yourself, on your own, without using the application of what the word is
22:33
telling you today or any day that you read the word, Amen, apply
22:37
it and see what happens. That's my challenge all the time. You don't
22:41
think there's a God, Amen, why don't you go to him and ask
22:44
him if he's real? For yourself, stop looking at TikTok videos, YouTube
22:48
videos and oh there's no God because this, that, and the third and
22:52
you're following man, and then you're accused a Christian or a believers. How
22:56
could you believe in a book that's written by men the same way you believe
22:59
in people trying to give you word of wisdom a man. It takes faith.
23:03
So when you trust God's word, Amen. God's word is active,
23:07
alive, shopper than any doubles sword. When you trust man, those words
23:10
fall to the ground uninspired. Man speaking to another uninspired person, those words
23:15
fall to the ground. But when you are born against saved speaking to another

I know one thing for sure, that light that's in us will always shine,
24:48
whether clips or not, earthquake or not. The light of Christ is
24:52
a blazing light and will shine through us if you allow Holy Spirit to do
24:56
that in your life. And see what happens while other people understand who you

are and when you share what you know. Right, God bless you all,
