• 0:06
  Speaker 1: So you already know it's authentic imitationlogy. This is episode
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen. I believe a man, Let me
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: make sure because we're together for a minute on these Fridays, right,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen episodes and listen. Just because we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have so many episodes, we need to expect rejection. And man,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you'll be like, Man, that doesn't sound that doesn't sound
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: encouraging at all. Sam, expect rejection. And the question I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: had is, how did Jesus handle rejection? Do you know
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: our Lord, our Savior, the King of Kings and Lord
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of Lords, Almighty God, Son of God, son of Man,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a man, the last Adam, let's see, wonderful counsel that
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the Prince of peace, all of that that he was
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: holy is the lamb was rejected by many, right, So
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: how did he handle that? You think he just went
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: away crying and was like, why does everybody.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Not believe me? Did he go away with his head down?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Did he just give up? Think about it? Amen?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So if the Lord handled it certain ways, rejection, rejection,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't like it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think nobody likes it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you like being rejected, but if
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: he handled it a certain way, we should be as
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Christ followers, be looking at how he handled rejection and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: follow suit.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Amen.

  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying right now. Let me make sure
• 1:42

• 1:51
  Speaker 1: on Fridays.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: We switch gears and we.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Take it to authentic imitationlogy, which God gave me this
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: title a couple of years ago. And he says, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: want you to be an authentic imitator of me. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: heard the spirits say that, So we imitate the Lord. Amen,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the most successful person who has ever lived on planet Earth,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: perfect and holy and righteous in all his ways. God
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Father sent himself right in a form of a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: man named Jesus, who lived a perfect life, and he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was flesh and bones. He was in an image of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: man perfect life. So he gave us a perfect example
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of how to be one united with the Father.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And now he sent us his Holy Spirit to take
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: care of all the other details while we're here on Earth.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It's an amazing, amazing God amazing kingdom that we're in.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: This is God, this is the Lord. This is how
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he speaks. He speaks to his word, he seeks to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: his people.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Signs, miracles, wonders are still happening. Although people say that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: miracles stopped. I don't know where they're getting that information from.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But let's go for it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Expect rejection today in the morning, Devo, and we're going
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to be in John chapter fifteen, verse number eighteen, John
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: fifteen and eighteen. A man will get your Bible apps,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fad of your Bible, A man, if you have a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: paper back Bible, Amen, these are going to be gold.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: They've been going ever since they came out, came out
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in print, right, but in the last days and these
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: days that we're facing, if you don't have one of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: these Bibles, amen, I have a lot of Bible.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: A Bible, man, it's all over the place.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I believe there's going to be one day that they're
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: going to shut down these apps online, or they're going
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to start changing wording in the scriptures all the apps.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But if there's no technology that I know of that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: can change printed word from your book and alter it, Amen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So hold on to your bibles. Read them, amen, don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just keep them there as show pieces in your house
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. Read your scriptures. So let's pray first.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: After we pray, we shut this out for like sixty seconds.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it
• 4:10

• 4:16
  Speaker 1: contact page there as well.

  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening. Amen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: If it was up to me, I'll just be audio only,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but there's a there's a vibe, you know, on video.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: People like to see and other people like to hear.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm on the like to hear side of things, Amen,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But being obedient and being on my mission, I'm trying

  Speaker 1: life as well.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So let's pray. Father.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I thank you so much for today. For now, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: thank you little guy that although we may be rejected
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for pre the Gospel, we know that you were first rejected.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So we're just following in a message of life, hope, liberty, freedom, love.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: While many people are calling it hate. But Lord God,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: we know that you're a God of love. You are
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Love God. Thank you, Lord God for loving us first,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: so now we know how to love one another. Thank
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you for not rejecting us when we came to you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in our own condition, and when we ask for forgiveness,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you didn't turn any one of us away, and you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: forgave us and gave us your Holy Spirit. Thank you,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Lord God, for the power of grace and your mercy,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and your love and your kindness and your justice and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: your peace that you offer all those whosoever is who
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: call upon your name to be saved. I pray, Lord God,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that we will be protected, guided, and guarded by way
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of your Holy Spirit. I step forth and dispatch ark
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: meeen angels to every body's situation, to everybody's household, workplace, school,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wherever they may be, including myself and my family. A
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: prayer had you protection that the Arkment angels would do
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: what they're assigned to do, and that by your Willlord God,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and by your word, that they will go about getting
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and making ways for us to get what you intended
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: us to get from the very beginning, and that's to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: get to freedom, to get to the Gospel, to get
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to be commissioned to go preach the Gospel baptizing people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in the name of the Son, the Father, the Son
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and the Holy Ghosts. And I thank you, Lord God
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for that opportunity. I pray, Lord God, that everyone, at
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the sign of my voice, when they get rejected, that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they will realize that Jesus is the one. The message
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that they're rejecting is the Gospel message. The Word of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: God does not take it so personal. Even though it
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hurts when we see somebody reject the Gospel, reject eternal
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: life and the offer of eternal life. We know what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we're to do because we see an example through you,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Lord of how you handled it as well. So I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: thank you Logud for today. I prayed that everyone will
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: be blessed by this message and by this morning Devo
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and the powerful name of the Lord and the King, Jesus,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the Christ and Jesus name we pray, and those who
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: agree we say amen to the Amen, which is the Lord, Amen,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Sister Joyce, I see you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Good morning, God, bless you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning deval with my sister, my friend,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: help me share this out one minute. When we come back,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into our first scripture, which is John
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen, verse number eighteen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back, Amen and Maen. We're back.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: So let's go forward. Let's find this word, Let's get
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the scripture in our hearts and our minds. Let's recite this,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: let's believe it. Let's apply this word. Let's apply this lesson.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Let's apply Jesus Amen, into our everyday situation, so that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: way He will be glorified and people will see the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: demonstration of God's power working through us. I really believe
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that people really don't want to hear it talk anymore.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: They want to see demonstrations of what we're speaking of.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And God's all about demonstrating his love so that all
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: those who rejected him, all those who hated him, he's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: still He's reminding us that he still died for you,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: still die for me, although we were haters of Christ,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he still died for me because it's his own demonstration
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of his own love. He's not demonstrating the love of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: human kind. He's demonstrating the love of God, and he
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: through the Godhead, being the Son of God, the Son
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of Man.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He demonstrated his own lif love and we should be
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: demonstrating his love as well as we move forward.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Right. We are in him. He's working through us. Amen.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And we are born again believers, and we can trust
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in the Holy Word of God, because God is holy,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: he's just, he's kind, he's peace, he's merciful, and he's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: full of grace and mercy, all of it. When we
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: get to experience because of His love and grace, it's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a done deal, Amen. Or we have a part to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: play in this whole thing. Amen, So let's go for it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Try to do these every Fridays, every Friday, five thirty
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: am yous to stand in time, which is authentic commentationalogy,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: part of the Blaze Baba study, part.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Of the Morning Devo. But we're here John fifteen eighteen.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: The Lord says, if the world hates you, strong word
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: right for the morning. If the world hates you.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And it does, know that it has hated me before
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it hated you, sobering truth. But listen, let's expect rejection
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I have witnessed
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to someone and they literally looked right at me and say, no,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want your God. I don't I'm not into religion.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The Bible is phony. There's many errors in the scriptures.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'm good, I don't sin, I don't need a god.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I have good moral like I've heard it. I can't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: say it all, but I heard a lot. I was
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: gonna say I heard it all, but I did hear
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a lot. Street witnessing is. It's a vibe right, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you expect rejection. But with kindness and love and gentleness,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you take that. Amen, keep your eyes open. The Bible says,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: be watchful, and when you are rejected, remember that Jesus said,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this world is hating his message. The world hates us
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: rice followers, sons and daughters of the Living God because
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the world has hated Jesus first.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And I still can't comprehend or how people will hate
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I just know that the scripture says the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: light has come. The light was revealed, and people hated
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the light because they wanted that darkness not to be shown.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't want their sins to be exposed. Amen, that's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: John Chapter three. Jesus is accused of trying to or
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: coming to condemn the world, but they don't know the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: scriptures because Jesus said, I didn't come to condemn the world.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I came to save the world.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So the world is hearing all this propaganda. The system
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is shoving all this propaganda in the faces of those
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: who are not willing to investigate the claims of the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus from themselves, pushing that propaganda to them, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they're believing it. They're quoting quotes. They're not quoting scripture.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: They're quoting things they heard on news, on the podcast,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on YouTube.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: They're just quoting stuff that they hear that sounds good,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: but it's not truth. How many things that you've heard
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: enough I heard and that I've heard that sounds good,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but they're not the truth. Think about it, man, there's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a difference when you think about it. Right, sounds good,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but that ain't true. I want truth, right, And when
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you're in the search for truth, you're gonna find Jesus.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus handled rejection with what grace, He handled rejection with love,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and he stood committed to the plan, to the mission
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to his mission. Right when he was rejected, he came
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: preaching the kingdom. The first preaching, the first sermon was what,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, repentance?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: The first preaching that Jesus preach was about repentance, turn
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: back to God. So John fifteen eighteen, we see that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus warned us where his followers right, where his disciples right,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that rejection is inevitable. It's going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I would say what the world says, don't take it personal.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: It is personal, right, because you're sharing out of a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: heart of compassion, out of a heart of love, out
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of a heart of concern for people's eternal destiny.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Right. It is a huge mission, but it is a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: huge mission field. That's why I believe the Bible says
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: many are called, many are called, but few are chosen
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to go out there to be a witness for the Lord.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: We are witnesses to God. Amen. RIGHTO says he filled
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the one hundred and twenty that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Were in the upper room with the holy ghosts and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: fiery tongues came down, and they came out of that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: room filled with holy spirit, filled to overflow, preaching the gospel,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: thousands were getting saved. A man from the first preaching,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: thousands got saved from the first witness, thousand are saved.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You will be my witnesses. The Bible says, men full
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of power, full of love, full of grace, full of God.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: The number one.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Expect rejection. But when you are rejected, stay focused on
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: your purpose. You probably hear something similar. When you're in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a business world, as an entrepreneur online business, you hear
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this a lot. Stay focused on your purpose. Make it
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: clear what you're saying. Make it clear who you serve.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Make it clear what you're trying to offer people, or
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: who you're trying to introduce people to. We're trying to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: clearly introduce people to the King of Kings and Lord
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of lords, the Savior, the merciful Savior, right, the one
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: who can offer and deliver on his promises of eternal
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: life and abundant life here on this earth. When they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hear the benefits, right, when they hear the Lord, how
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he moved, how he demonsted his own love, how he
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was a perfect man. People should think about it, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of people snap out of it real quick.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: They don't want no parts of the gospel because they're
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: hurt because they think they haven't made they don't need Jesus,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: or they don't want change, or they're afraid of unknown
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: information that they don't know. At that point, since said Juwayne,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: good morning, God, bless you. I overslept. I was so tired.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It's okay, a man, you're here now and you're blessed
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: for it. Aymen, So thank you so much for hopping on.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: It's better late than never, right. And also you could
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: also rewind the tape so you could see, amen where
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I started from. So Jesus never let rejection stop him,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: so we shouldn't let rejection stop us. Jesus fulfilled his mission.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Last time I checked, his mission was fulfilled. So we're
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: benefiting off of the done, finished work of the Lord Jesus.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: This is not an unfinished job, not an unfinished work.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: We're not speculating, we're not guessing. Did God really do that?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: No, he did it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: We have evidence the word, we have scriptures, we have
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: testimonies of how he's still healing people, how he's still
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: saving people, how he's still transforming people, how he's still
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: giving people hope, including myself in you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So you're rejected. Don't stop because you're rejected.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Out of let's say one hundred people, there's going to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: be people and out of that hundred that's going to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: receive the Gospel message.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: They're hurting. They need hope. Right.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe they trusted in a religion and religion let them down.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: But now we're offering the hope in the Lord. We're
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: introducing them to a person who they can have a
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: personal relationship with, not a religion.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: When the people of Jesus's hometown rejected him, he didn't
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: argue very important or force them to believe in him.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: He moved forward. He moved forward, He kept it moving. Amen.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Luke chapter four twenty eight to thirty. You could check
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it out for your elth right. Because also we should
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not let rejection distract us from God's calling. Because listen,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be heat.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Right, we're shining light.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: There should be heat with that light. Right, we are
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the salt of the earth. We should be using this
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: message to preserve We'll preserve people. I've been telling people
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: for years. I think we're being preserved for such a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: time as this.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: We are here on purpose. God has a perfect plan. Amen,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: He's not like guessing what do I want Sam to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: do to? No, he knows what he wants me to do.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: He knows what he wants you to do.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And on top of it all, he gives us the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: power to get what he wants done through us. He
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: gives us the power to get it done. We have
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: no excuse. So stay focused on your purpose. Don't let
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: rejection distract you from the calling of God in your
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: life and over your life as He works through your life. Right,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: this gets exciting rejection. Okay, keep it moving, Amen, there's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: somebody that's not going to reject the gospel message. Respond
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: with love. I mean sounds cliche, right, but it's not.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: God says love your enemies, Like, make that make sense?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Love your enemies? You know how that makes sense to me?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I was once God's enemy? What about you? And he
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: loved me anyway? Want to imitate Christ, want to be
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: authentic imitators of God. Love your enemies and that doesn't
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: mean to do what they're doing to try to show them. Look,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'm right with you. No, it means love them. If
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you have to love them from a distance, love them anyway,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: pray for them. They curse you out. You bless them.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: They take from you, you give to them.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Just be kind, be loving, be mindful that we're serving
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the King of kings and Lord of lords. That we're
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in a kingdom mindset, we're not in a worldly mindset.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Respect with love, Respond with love, React with love, renewed
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: relationships with love, Restore with love. Rebuke with love, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: men not bitterness. When Jesus was mocked, he was betrayed
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and crucified, he responded with what hatred?
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: He responded with.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Forgiveness, Father, forgive them, remember that, for they do not
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: know what they are doing. In other words, they were blind.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: They couldn't see right in front of their face what
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they were doing. They couldn't see the sin debt being
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: paid right in front of them. While Jesus was on
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the cross. There was a debt that was being paid
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: for them, for us, for all mankind, a debt that
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: we couldn't afford, that we owed. He paid a debt
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that he didn't owe, but he was the only one
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: who could pay it. He meant, and he paid off
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the sin debt, and we didn't even know what he
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was doing. So he asked the Father to forgive him.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: For the forgive the people that didn't know what they
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: were doing. So instead of holding grudges, instead of just
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: being bitter, instead of being angry, instead of just going
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the other way, Jesus didn't do that. He didn't hold
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a grudge. He prayed for those who heard him. He
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: prayed for those who rejected him. He prayed for those didn't,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: who didn't understand his message, who didn't understand who he was.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: They were blind.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I was once blind too, but now I could see
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a man testify somebody.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Right. We didn't.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: We weren't born Christian. We were born as sinners into
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a world of sin, and then Jesus, along our lives,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: gave us an opportunity to get this born again experience.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Amen, I wasn't born in the church. I wasn't raising
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the church.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Pastor's kids who were raising the church.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: You were like light years ahead. You had the benefits
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of being in the house of God. You have the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: benefits of hearing the scriptures all through your life. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I know it might be a lot of pressure now
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Don't let anybody, including your parents, pressure
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: you to do things that you are not feeling that
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. At the age that you're at. Amen,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: go to the Lord. You know who he is or
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you know about him. It's time for you, as pastor's kids.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm saying this as pastors kids,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to realize that the Lord Jesus wants you your life
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to resemble his life. Not your parent's life, not the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: church's life, not your bishop's life.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Your life.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: He wants to use you a man without being pressured
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: into being XYZ or to being like, Oh, I got
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to be like my dad. I gotta be like my mom,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I gotta be like my aunt, I gotta be like
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: my uncle, I got to be my grandparents.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: No, God wants you to be you, Amen, So snap
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: out of that pressure. Amen.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Don't let anybody pressure you. All due respect, Amen, show love, kindness, right,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: be obedient to God's calling over.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Your life, and move forward. Amen.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Shake the dust off and keep moving. The Bible says
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus taught his disciples this, and he's teaching us this
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: right now, that when you face rejection, you should keep
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: moving and continue your work.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Matthew ten fourteen.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: If anyone, the Lord says, if anyone will not welcome
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you or listen to your words. Leave that home or
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: town and shake the dust off your feet. I believe
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the dust represents those people that are you know, they're
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: returning back to what they were originally, and we're going
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to return back to that dust. Keep it moving, shake
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the dust off your feet. Be if somebody needs this
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: godspel message. Somebody needs the Lord. I know I need
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the Lord every day and I've been saved two thousand
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and one needing God. It's not gonna change, amen, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: still need him, used to need him.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Right, Let's go for him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't dwell on rejection, but trust in the guy
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: who dwells in us. Right, He's gonna open a door
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. His message is gonna be received, not rejected,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. But if you stay like man, why don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: why don't those people you know receive the gospel?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: How come they don't believe me? And all that?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: If you stay in that position, that condition, Amen, it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be hard for people to get the message of
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the gospel based on your bitterness, based on how you feel,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: based on you giving up or me giving up. No,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: let's not give up. Let's keep on going. Somebody is
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: gonna receive this message and be transformed.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: How do I know? How do I know somebody's gonna
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: receive this message? Two thousand and one?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I received it, Amen, And I was in a candidate
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: for you know, oh you know that's a that's a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Christian in to make.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And no, I was hard headed.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Rejected the gospel hundreds of times, maybe more. Amen rejected
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the gospel, messengers, rejected preachers, rejected the evangelists.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I was not interested until I realized, Wait a minute,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I did everything the world said to do, and why
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: am I not satisfied? Because it was all lie? I said, Okay,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I've been lied to. If there's a God, come and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: show me the truth.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And God did it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: And because of his grace, he didn't have to trust
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: me the way I approached God the night I called
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: him out, He didn't have to save me. He could
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: have crushed me, and I deserved to be crushed at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that point, Amen, But God thought it another way. He's
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: so fit to save me. Praise God, Thank you for
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: your grace and your mercy. And he's no respect of persons.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: He could do it to you too. He could transform
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: your life. He could renew your life, restore your life.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: He could save you as well. Right, we're accepted by God,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: so being rejected by humans and by the world shouldn't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: really hurt as much when we know that we're accepted
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: by God. Jesus always sought the father's approval, not people's approval.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus really didn't love people. He loved the Father.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Look at the scriptures. Did Jesus say, oh, I love
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the people? Know he says, I love my father. I'm
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: one with my father. I do my father says. And
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: because he did that, he was able to love all
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: those who rejected him, and he demonstrated his own love
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: because he demonstrated the father's love. Read your scriptures, Amen,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I seek not to please myself but him who sent
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: me John five point thirty. But amount of time, ladies
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen used the rejection as growth. Just like haters
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: are gonna hate on us. We use that hatred, Amen,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to keep on going and rise above in love, not
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: in conceit or anything like that. So go ahead and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: read John chapter fifteen for yourself, the whole chapter. I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: hope you will blessed. I hope you get what I'm saying. Amen,
