  Speaker 1: Good morning. Amen. We woke up, so that means God

  Speaker 1: has not done with us yet. There's a perfect, one
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: hundred percent perfect plan and purpose for your life and

• 0:45
  Speaker 1: just shared this page out and this morning Devo, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing as well. Today we're
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about a problem, the problems that turn into blessings, Amen,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: because I know for sure that we all go through
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: problem New Jerusalem. Thank you so much for sharing our page.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Holy Bible. Thank you so much for sharing our page
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: as well on your group. Hey man, thank you so
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: much we all have problems. We all have problems. That's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the common denominator, right. The thing is that God is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in the business of turning our problems into blessings. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with that said, our God is bigger than our pain.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Our testimony shows a lot of pain sometimes right, But
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: God is bigger than our pain. His word is bigger
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: than our pain. Biblical examples are problems that turn into blessings.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: God could bring good from difficult situations. Haven't you noticed.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I know, if you've been alive more than fifteen twenty years,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you've gone through something right. Maybe even earlier than that,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you've gone through things, problems, issues, life. But when God
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: shows up right and he's there, He's omnipresent, he's forever
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a man, he's eternal. He is a passionate God, a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: compassionate God, a God who saves, a God who rescues,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the God who restores, the God who redeems, a God
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: who positions us for a blessing. He shows up, Things
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: happen and we start realizing that God is bigger than
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: our pain. We start realizing that his word, his promise
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: is bigger than our situation. Amen, by the way, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: see you, Good morning, my brother, my friend, Good morning, God,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome to the morning Devo. It'll be in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Genesis chapter fifty, verse number twenty to talk about a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: popular person in the scriptures, Joseph, Amen, and man, did
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he go through a lot of problems? They have a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: lot of situations going on in his life. Absolutely, we're
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not going to read the whole thing because there's a lot,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of chapters to read in the Book
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of Genesis, but we're gonna use Joseph's life as an
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: example a man, and we can all relate to Joseph
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: one way or another. Amen, since the joint I see you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you, Welcome back to the morning
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: dev on my system, my friend, Genesis chapter fifty, verse
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: number twenty. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: or want to take along those lines, please don't hesitate
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to leave it on a live chat. And also let's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: keep on praying for the Humanist family and for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Raymod's family. Amen for the situations we've been praying for
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: their families as well. Thank you for your prayers, Thank
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you for joining in our prayers. Thank you for believing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and uniting our faith together for these two families, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm believing God is bigger than their pain as well. Right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: God is that big of a guy. He's that great
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of a guy. He's that loving God, a man that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: we could have one hundred percent faith, hope and trust
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in because his word never returns back void. His word
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is always powerful a man. So when we join in prayer,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: things happen not because of what we're doing, It's because
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of what God's will is for our lives and our situations. Amen.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So let's pray first. After we pray, but shut us
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: out for like sixty seconds, and then we would come
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: back on the other side of those sixty seconds. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get right into today's morning devo in the verse Genesis,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: chapter fifty, verse number twenty. Oh Jesus, thank you that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you see our situation, you see our life, you see
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: our condition, you see our pain, and you don't waste
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: any of that pain, you don't waste any of our time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for being with us and working
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: through with us in our situations of life, whether they're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: good or bad, whether they're painful or whether they're not painful.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You are there with us. You are Jehovah Jira. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: are Jehovah Shama, the God who is there, the God
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: who provides for every single one of our needs. Lord God,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we pray to you because we know this is not
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a mystical thing. We know that you are true, living, holy, righteous,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: loving God, and we give you glory, We give you honor,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: we give you our worship, our praise. Thank you for
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: your hedge a protection. I speak, a hedge of protection
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: over myself, my wife, my family, our children, our grandchildren,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: our son and his family, my brothers and their family,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: my sister and her family, and every single family represented
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the screen, and on the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: other side of is Mike. The peace of God, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: power of God, the love of God, the mercy of God,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the grace of God be upon you and your family
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: as well. As we experience life together, we can realize
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that when we suffer, when we suffer, when we go
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: through pain, when we go through situations of life that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: don't seem right, I know that God is bigger than
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: our pain, and I pray today that you will realize
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that as well. As we see an example in the scripture,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a biblical example of a person who lived and what
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he went through. Joseph, All God, help us see the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: bigger picture and help us realize that we have the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: reality of eternal life and that we have Heaven on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: our side. Pray it's by faith with thanksgiving, knowing that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you hear these prayers and you answer them according to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: your bill and purpose for every individual situation and Jesus
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Holy Name, and prayed it's by faith. And all those
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: who agree with the prayer. We say Amen to the amen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Help me share the south sixty seconds. When we come back,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: We'll get right into today's morning devil. I'll be right back. Amen,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: We're back. We're back, Sister Joanne. Thank you for the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: amen and for agreeing and being so faithful and showing
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: up to these morning DeVos. It really matters. There are
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: other people that are watching you, watch us. There's other
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: people that are watching me, that are watching you and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: watching us. It's amazing how when when unite in one faith,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one kingdom, one principle, one God, one Lord, one saving Amen,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: how other people gravitate to it because they know that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: if we're unified, Amen, they could also join in and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: be unified as well. This morning devo is definitely not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: just for Christians this morning, DeVos, for all those who
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are willing to listen to the Word of God, all
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: those who are willing to investigate the claims of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, all those who are going through something, who
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: need hope, who need faith, who need to read the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Word for themselves to find out what this is all
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: about for their life as well. Amen. So let's get
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to the scripture today about Joseph and what he went
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: through Joseph one way or another, Amen. Joseph went through
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot, and a lot of us are going through
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot. Amen. And we know that what Joseph went through,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he got through it with a blessing a man. God
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: turned his problems into a blessing. God turned his pain
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: into power. God turned his turmoil into a testimony. Amen.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Brother Frank, I see you, good morning, God bless you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and your family as well, my brother and my Friend's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: good to see you in the morning, Devo. So let's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: put this on the screen to that way we could
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: see what's going on and those who are listening, as
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so Win is with a z do org and on
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the podcast. Thank you so much for coming through and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for listening and for giving us a hearing here in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the morning, Devo, Sister Nils, I see you. Good morning,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters. God bless you in your family
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: as well. Thank you so much, my sister and my
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: friend for coming through to the morning. Devo. It's good
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to have you. So let's see if I get this
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: button right here there, you go bigger than our pain
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and man, some of us are going through it. There's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a lot going on. There's a lot going on. Amen.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We need to be praying for one another big time. Amen,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and daien often. Jonasis, chapter fifty, verse number twenty. The
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Word of God says, as for you, you meant evil against me,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: but God meant it for good in order to bring
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about this present outcome, that many people will be kept
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: alive as they are this day. That's a quote from Joseph. Amen,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a famine came to the land, and because God was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: with Joseph, many people were kept alive. Right. What his
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: brothers meant for evil against him? What the I want
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to say? The boss's wife accused him of a man.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this was before or after. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think this was after all of that. God showed up, right.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: God is the god of all the outcomes. Many people.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: We kept alive because God, God knows our pain and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: he sees our pain. But he's bigger than our pain,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and he's bigger than our situation. We can trust him. Amen.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Some of us have hands on experience with pain. Right,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: listen to this. We could trust God through the pain,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: through the process, through the mind and the thoughts that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we have. God knows how to sort it out, turn
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: our problems into blessings. Amen. Let's get to it. Let's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: get to Joseph. Let's see what he was all about.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I can't read it all because it's a lot. Amen,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But if you do, you do diligence. Check out. Go
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures. Amen. I can show you, or I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: could tell you where to go. It starts Genesis chapter
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: thirty seven all the way to Genesis chapter fifty. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: problem was that Joseph was betrayed. I've ever been betrayed. No,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that feels right. I've been betrayed, and I was also
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the betrayer back in the day before changed my heart
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and changed my life. What about you? Trail is tough
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: breaks trust. You thought people were on your side and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they were really on your side. They were actually against you.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They harbored hate in their heart against you. Joseph went
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: through that. And guess who these betrayers and these haters were.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You think it was just his enemies out there. You
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: think that was just like random people, strangers. No, Joseph
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: was betrayed by his own flesh and blood, his brothers,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: his own brothers, And because his own brothers didn't like Joseph,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: didn't like his dream that he shared. And man, you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: got to read it for yourself, in Genesis chapter thirty
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: seven all the way to Genesis chapter fifty, he was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: sold into slavery. A man that shared his dream to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: his very own family that he trusted, he was sold
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: into slavery because of it. He was falsely accused. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: because of that accusation that that woman you get read
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it and you know the story. Amen, that woman accused
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: him of rape salt, and he was put into prison
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because of that false accusation and his stories right now
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in Mordern day time, that people are in prison right
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: now serving time for false accusations. God has a way
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of turning that false accusation and giving you justice. Good
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Morning's is the joyous good morning I see you. Good
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: morning God, bless you and strengthen your ministry in Jesus' name.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Blessings to you and your family as well. Amen. Blessings
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to you, my system, my friend, Thank you so much
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: for coming through to the money devil. You're faithful and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: true and a good friend and a good system the Lord. Amen.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So the problems were there, betrayal, sold into slavery, falsely
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: accused and imprisoned, put in jail, locked up for being
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: falsely accused. That must be a horrible feeling, knowing that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you're innocent, but you're being found guilty falsely and put
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: into prison. Well, here's the blessing. And all of that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: People were like, man, that's a tough life for Joseph.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But if you know the story of Joseph, you read
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the scriptures about him, then the blessing was that God
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: used Joseph's position in Egypt to save his family and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: many other families from famine. A famine hit the land.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: A famine hit the land, and Joseph was used by
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: God throughout all his troubles, his pain, his hardships, falsely accused,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: being put in jail. God used this man, Joseph, to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: save his family and many others from famine when there
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: was no food, there was nothing. He was storing up food,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: produce and all that for that famine because God was
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: with him, and God was leading him. And God can
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: lead you, and God can lead me. So we could
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: get ready for the famine when it hits our family,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: when it hits our friends a man, and all we
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: have to do sometimes is show up and be available
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to what God is doing, what God is saying, listen
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and apply. So what you meant for evil, That's why
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Joseph said, for what you meant for evil, God meant
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it for good Genesis fifty twenty, speaking to his brothers,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the ones who really got him into a lot of
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: those problems. But God was with Joseph. God was with
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Joseph when he was sold into slavery. God was with
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Joseph when he was in prison. God was with Joseph
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: when the family hit the land. And God is still
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: with Joseph. Because Joseph is a righteous man, credited righteousness
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a man, he was given righteousness by God, the Father. Right.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So Joseph had a lot of problems. What about you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You might be in a season where there is no
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: really not a lot of drama, a man of problems,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: really not a lot of problems. And that's good. That's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a good space to be. But it's called peace. Listen.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I cherish the peace that I have right now, Amen,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: whether it's a lot or a little, and that piece,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I will never trade that for anything in this world, money, silver, gold, anything,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the peace of God that we can experience because of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the love of God. We have the peace of God,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: because we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: who is the Prince of Peace. Don't exchange that for
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: this world for a fast car, fast relationship, fast life.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Don't exchange the peace of God for none of that.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it. It's not an even exchange at all.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you'll actually be jipped if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you try to do what the world is offering and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: try to do what God's offering at the same time.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Nothing compared to the goodness of God. Nothing compares to
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the love of God. Nothing compares to the passion of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: God his compassion, nothing compares to the eternal word of God.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Get into God's word, be about God's word, be about
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: God's business, and see what happens in your life. Amen. Well,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the problems come. Absolutely, we're in a broken world, man.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Problems are happening every single day to us, to our family.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: We're seeing people going through a lot of pain and suffering.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: But we're here, amen, and that means God is not
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: done with us yet. But the one I see you,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: God blessed brother and everyone that's tuned in. Good morning
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to you as well. God bless you, my brother and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: my friend. It's good to see. Hope you enjoy your vacation. Man,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I was looking at the pictures. It looks like you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: guys have some fun, man, and we need that too, right, family, family,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: getting getting away from the hustle and bustle. Man, it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a blessing as well. And man, I wish I was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that fortunate to do that. Hopefully soon we could do
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that with my family. Listen, problems that God sees us in.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't abandon us when problem's hit, He doesn't abandon
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: us when he sees us going through pain. He doesn't
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: leave nor forsake us. He doesn't put us to shame.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: He doesn't say, Okay, I give you enough, now figure
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it out on your own. No, God's with us every
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: step of the way. Literally, the righteous, the steps of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the righteous are ordered by God. He knows where we're headed,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he knows where he wants us to go, and he
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: also knows that we have our will. So if God
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: literally tells me to go left and I go right,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: God says, well, it's either follow me or follow your
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: own will. And God loves me so much, and he
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: loves you so much that he'll literally allow you to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: have your way if that's the way you want to go.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody ever been in a position where you're like God,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I don't know where
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to go, I don't know who to call, I don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: know what to do. I've been in those situations. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: thank you Jesus for your grace, and thank you Holy
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Spirit for leading and positioning me for a blessing. Have
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you ever been blessed even though you may seem that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you don't deserve it. That's called grace. Grace is God
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: giving us what we don't deserve. Mercy is God holding
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: back what we do deserve. Amen. The punishment for sin,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: according to the scriptures, is death. But Jesus stepped in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and took my place and took your place on that cross,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and he took the punishment of sin upon himself, Yet
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: he himself did not sin. That was an act of love,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That was the act of grace, that was the act
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of mercy amen his cross. What the Lord did was
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: bigger than our pain, bigger than our suffering, bigger than
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: our situation right now financially, relationally, health wise. God is
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: bigger than it all. Let's go to the God who
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is bigger and amplify his name and glorify his name,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and not concentrate on the things that are happening and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: trying to make that bigger and idolize. So a lot
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of people idolize their pain, their struggle. A man, how
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: many people have I heard in the hoods say I'm
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: still struggling, I'm out here struggling, I'm all struggling, and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they have no hope because they're concentrating on the struggle.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Are more than the one who would take them out
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: of that struggle. They're concentrating on the problem and the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: issues more than they could see the blessing of God
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: in that situation. God is in the situation with us.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Have you realized that when you're in the toughest time
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: of your life, God is still there as a matter
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of fact. The Word even says that God is closest
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to the broken hearted, those who are struggling, those who
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: are in pain. A man, he specializes in saving people's souls.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He specializes in leading people into the glory land, to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the promised land. Amen, let the fear, Let the fear
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: out of your home, and the Lord in your home.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And Jesus name, yes, yes, let the Lord in a man.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He's knocking on the door of your heart and of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: my heart. And if we open the door, he'll sit
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: with us and will enjoy God's presence. I'm not saying
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that this life is gonna be easy. The Lord even
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: promised that it's not gonna be easy. Right, Jesus said,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: in this world you will have what problems, tribulations, trials.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: But he said, but be of good cheer, because why
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he came and overcame this world system. Already it's a
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: done deal. We're gonna benefit of what Jesus already has done.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we have to remind ourselves that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: God is bigger than our pain. I have to remind
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: ourselves that although we might not have a lot, but
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: God gave us what we need and that's more than enough. Amen.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Although we might not get everything that we want in life,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: God gives us what we need and that's more. That's
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: more than what we want. We might not know everybody,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: but I want this, I want that, and I can't
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: do without this, and I can't do without that. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: God's looking at us like, yes, you can because you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: have me. And as long as we have God, Amen
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in our lives, as long as we experience his incredible peace,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: his presence, his love, we're good. No matter what life
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: throws us. A lot of curveballs, amen, and a lot
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of lemons sometimes, and a lot of life is like painful, man,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And it's not right. There's no not a lot of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: justice anymore, not a lot of love anymore, not a
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: lot of unity anymore inside and outside. When I say inside,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: even in the churches, even sometimes in the churches, not
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the body of Christ. The body of Christ is fully functional.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Talking about the church buildings and the leaders of churches,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes they're not united. And when we don't see unity,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: guess who else doesn't see unity? The world? If they
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: don't see us come together, man, soon the worlds would
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: be like why would I want to join those people?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And they're not even together. They say they serve the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: same God, but they don't praise the same God together.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They say they want to do evangelism, but they don't
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: go outside outside their buildings. They stay inside their environment.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: They say they want to go and seek and save souls,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: but we only see a couple of them out of
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the hundreds that are there. We don't want to be
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that type of example. We want to be like an
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: example of Joseph. Although we're accused of those things. Although
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: we can be put in prison for the gospel. Although
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: people might not like us, God could use us and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: save their land, save their families, save people who desperately
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: need a savior. We're not gonna We're not responsible for
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: changing God's God is responsible for changing hearts. I should
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: say we're not responsible for changing someone's hearts. But we
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: could be put in a position where we could point
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: people to the one who could change them and transform them,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: renew them, restore them, and redeem them. And that's the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. Sister Vivian, I see you, good morning.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: God bless you that right there. Yes, Amen, we are
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: positioned for a purpose, planted. We're being watered by the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: eternal wellspring that God gives us. Amen. But the water
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that God allows us to drink, we will never thirst again.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Remember when Jesus told that woman at the well, so
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you could drink from this well water, You're gonna get
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: thirsty again. But if you drink the water that I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: offer you, you will never thirst again. So God is
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: bigger than our pain. He's bigger than our situation. God
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: knows our situation. That's the whole thing. This is not
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a religion. The whole thing about being born again is
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that you have and I have an encounter with the living, holy, righteous,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: loving God. And we have experience now that when we
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: need him, he always shows up. He's all his promises
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: in his word are yea and Amen. We might not
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: experience it the way we thought we would experience God,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: but he knows exactly who you are. He knows exactly
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: who I am, and he knows how we respond in
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: all situations, not just some situations, but in all situations.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So when we go through pain, when we go through hardship,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: when we go through issues in life, when we experience
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: setbacks and portrayal, when we are in life, God is
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with us in that life. Amen. Good morning to you,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: my sister. Amen, Vivian, God bless you. So I'm out
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: of time, though, but I hope you get what I'm saying.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Read Genesis chapter thirty seven over all the way to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: chapter fifty, the story of Joseph. We could use him
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: as as example, and we can know that when problems
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: come up, God could turn those problems into blessings. Amen,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: write real life faith and we could testify. So we
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: were in Genesis chapter fifty, verse number twenty. Amen, that's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a scription for this morning that you could devote some
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: time with the Lord with right. So amount of time.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But God bless you all. God keep you all, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace.
