- 0:11Speaker 1: dot org Live do So Winners with his z dot
- 0:14Speaker 1: org and streaming on some social media platforms, including my
- 0:18Speaker 1: YouTube page which is simply called Dj sam Rock. I
- 0:21Speaker 1: try to make things simple. Yeah, so we're here man
- 0:25Speaker 1: once again. Back is the incredible Word of God.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Amen.
- 0:29Speaker 1: So we could devote some time in it and in
- 0:32Speaker 1: my area right now from the time this recording has
- 0:34Speaker 1: been raining for the past two days NonStop. So it's
- 0:40Speaker 1: just outside it's kind of dreary and rainy and all that.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But inside here, amen, we have the Word of God.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We have that living water of life that flows within
- 0:50Speaker 1: every one of God's children, every God, every one of
- 0:53Speaker 1: God's creation who calls upon his name to be saved.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Amen.
- 0:57Speaker 1: We have that living water living inside of us. But listen,
- 1:01Speaker 1: I have a question or a statement or something to
- 1:05Speaker 1: think about. You ever heard somebody say, including myself, I
- 1:08Speaker 1: say it a lot. If it's God's will, I think
- 1:12Speaker 1: ultimately everybody wants to know the will of God for
- 1:15Speaker 1: their life individually. God is not into a lottery like,
- 1:22Speaker 1: He's not a genie in a bottle. It's not by
- 1:25Speaker 1: luck that God does things. It's not by random chance. No,
- 1:30Speaker 1: God is a purposeful God. He's a planned out God,
- 1:35Speaker 1: a man.
- 1:35Speaker 2: He's an orderly God.
- 1:36Speaker 1: God is a God of order, and he will literally
- 1:40Speaker 1: literally have his will in your life if you allow
- 1:44Speaker 1: him to have his will, the will of God in
- 1:47Speaker 1: your life, if it's God's will. That statement has been
- 1:51Speaker 1: said so many times. So I was asking the Lord,
- 1:54Speaker 1: what does that mean?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Amen?
- 1:56Speaker 1: And this is what I came up with. I believe
- 1:59Speaker 1: the Lord led me to. In the scriptures. In John
- 2:02Speaker 1: six thirty eight, I wrote down, obedience doesn't always mean comfort.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Outside is dreary, rainy. A shouts to everybody who has
- 2:13Speaker 1: to work out there, including myself later on. But obedience
- 2:18Speaker 1: doesn't always mean comfort. In other words, I obey God
- 2:23Speaker 1: right one hundred percent. No, I don't think anybody obeys
- 2:28Speaker 1: God one hundred percent. I'll just speak for myself. But
- 2:32Speaker 1: Holy Spirit in me is obedient to God because the
- 2:34Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is God living inside of all his children.
- 2:39Speaker 1: But obedience is always is not always comfortable. We could
- 2:42Speaker 1: grieve the Holy Spirit of God, the very God that
- 2:45Speaker 1: lives inside of every one of us who called upon
- 2:48Speaker 1: his name Jesus to be saved could be grieved. That's
- 2:52Speaker 1: not comforting to know the will of God for your life.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Trust his plan, And I know it's easier said than done,
- 3:01Speaker 1: depending on your circumstance, depending on what's.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Going on in your life.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Amen that these things will just come, and I gotta
- 3:10Speaker 1: fly in my studio.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Will come and just.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Challenge our thinking, challenge our faith, test our faith. But
- 3:19Speaker 1: when life hits Jesus to Christ, a man experienced more
- 3:24Speaker 1: than what we could ever experience on this side of eternity.
- 3:27Speaker 1: In other words, he has more experience. He has know how,
- 3:29Speaker 1: he has the authority, the power. His will is his
- 3:35Speaker 1: perfect plan. His will is his word. His will overcomes
- 3:39Speaker 1: any other will over my life and over your life.
- 3:43Speaker 1: If you'll allow him to speak into your life, if
- 3:45Speaker 1: you allow God's word to penetrate your life, to move
- 3:48Speaker 1: in your life, if you're obedience to his word and
- 3:51Speaker 1: his commandments, it's not hard to follow Jesus. As a
- 3:55Speaker 1: matter of fact, the Lord said his yoke is easy
- 3:58Speaker 1: when you follow the Lord.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Life is not easy.
- 4:01Speaker 1: But following the Lord is easy because He's come and
- 4:04Speaker 1: overcome this world already, and we're supposed to be a
- 4:07Speaker 1: great cheer knowing that he did the hard work. John
- 4:12Speaker 1: chapter six, verse thirty eight. We're gonna be in that
- 4:15Speaker 1: scripture today, Amen, and listen. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 4:20Speaker 1: pray requests, or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate
- 4:23Speaker 1: to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're
- 4:25Speaker 1: here for. So let's pray first. After we pray, help
- 4:28Speaker 1: me share this out like for sixty seconds.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Amen.
- 4:31Speaker 1: To that way, we could get this to more people,
- 4:34Speaker 1: to as many people as possible, and help me with
- 4:36Speaker 1: the algorithm over here.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Listen.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I don't do the algorithm thing, and you know, plan
- 4:43Speaker 1: out keywords and all this other stuff for my morning devotions.
- 4:47Speaker 1: This is totally spirit led. And whoever this hits and
- 4:51Speaker 1: whoever this applies to, Amen, and whoever gets a chance
- 4:55Speaker 1: to listen to watch, I believe that's a divine appointment
- 4:58Speaker 1: for those people, because I know I'm not doing any
- 5:01Speaker 1: keyword search or anything like that.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I follow people who do that, and there's nothing against
- 5:07Speaker 1: and I'm nothing against that, it's just that it would
- 5:09Speaker 1: take me off topic, Amen, and then I'll be searching
- 5:13Speaker 1: after things just for listeners and clicks. I'm not doing
- 5:17Speaker 1: that over here. As soul winners, what we do is
- 5:20Speaker 1: we hear from the Lord, speak what he says, Speak
- 5:23Speaker 1: what He wants us to speak.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Amen.
- 5:25Speaker 1: But most importantly, we go to His word. And I
- 5:27Speaker 1: encourage you to go to his word daily, Amen, daily,
- 5:31Speaker 1: ten times a day, fifteen times a day, twenty times
- 5:33Speaker 1: a day daily. Go to the Word of God. And
- 5:36Speaker 1: then the word of God is what changes our mindset,
- 5:39Speaker 1: our attitude. We would know things and experience things, and
- 5:43Speaker 1: then we could apply the word and see how relevant
- 5:45Speaker 1: God's word is in your circumstance and my circumstance today
- 5:49Speaker 1: right now. Trust me, the word of God is powerful.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Amen. The word of God is relevant for the event
- 5:54Speaker 2: I see you.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you, my bro. It's good to
- 5:56Speaker 1: see you in the morning.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Devo. So let's do this.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Let's pray sixty seconds, help me share this out, and
- 6:01Speaker 1: then on the other side of those sixty we'll get
- 6:04Speaker 1: right into today's verse, which is John chapter sixth verse
- 6:08Speaker 1: number thirty eight. Father, I thank you, love God, that
- 6:12Speaker 1: you offer us every single thing that we ever would

- 6:58Speaker 1: single person that's listening or watching right now. I pray
- 7:01Speaker 1: Lord God, that you will continue to mark their lives
- 7:04Speaker 1: with grace, mercy and love. That people would know all
- 7:07Speaker 1: around them that they are part of your forever family,
- 7:10Speaker 1: that we are brothers and sisters and the Lord, and
- 7:13Speaker 1: that you are a heavenly Father. I pray peace be
- 7:16Speaker 1: still over every single person right now on the other
- 7:19Speaker 1: side of this mic and on the other side of
- 7:21Speaker 1: this screen.

- 7:59Speaker 1: this out, Amen, And where is my minute button?
- 8:03Speaker 2: There?
- 8:03Speaker 1: There this Amen, and let's go forby right back. Hey man,
- 9:24Speaker 1: thank you so much for helping me shut us out. Look, listen,
- 9:27Speaker 1: shared us to the person that you think that would
- 9:30Speaker 1: never listen to the Gospel message, that would never be
- 9:33Speaker 1: involved in anything like I'm morning devotional into the Lord.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Those are the people that God specializes in. Those are
- 9:39Speaker 1: the people that God is seeking for. Remember, the Lord
- 9:41Speaker 1: is seeking to save those who are lost. Amen, to
- 9:45Speaker 1: save sinners and transform their lives and transform their hearts.
- 9:50Speaker 1: The Holy Spirvorite God, through his word is the one
- 9:52Speaker 1: who does the.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Convicting and the convincing.
- 9:54Speaker 1: So rely and trust in God his will for everyone's life.
- 9:59Speaker 1: If it's God's will, your plan and my plan will
- 10:04Speaker 1: line up with God's plan. Amen, for everybody's life, not
- 10:07Speaker 1: only for us, not only for believers, not only for Christians.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Right now, just like he called you and me my name,
- 10:14Speaker 1: called us into his marvelous light, and he transferred us
- 10:17Speaker 1: into his marvelous light, I should say so, if it's
- 10:20Speaker 1: God's will, that's what we're talking about. The title for
- 10:23Speaker 1: today's Morning DEVO. Let me get it ready for the
- 10:25Speaker 1: screen For those who are just listening. Amen, Thank you
- 10:28Speaker 1: so much for listening. And I'm going to read word
- 10:31Speaker 1: for word what we're seeing on the screen because I
- 10:34Speaker 1: know you're just on audio only, which to me, that'll
- 10:37Speaker 1: be my purpose.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I'm trying to make an exodus off of social media,
- 10:42Speaker 1: believing or not.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Amen.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So if you see less and less content.
- 10:47Speaker 2: From the ministry, Amen, it's the reason for it.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'm trying to exit off and rely on the website
- 10:53Speaker 1: and the podcast.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Amen.
- 10:54Speaker 1: I'm really thinking that's the route to go, and I
- 10:59Speaker 1: believe it will be more effective that way, to be
- 11:02Speaker 1: at a place where we could less distractions. Amen, And
- 11:06Speaker 1: more focus on the word of God through these morning
- 11:09Speaker 1: DeVos and the Bible studies. So let's go for it.
- 11:13Speaker 1: If it's God's will, Amen, If it's God's will. I
- 11:18Speaker 1: know a lot of people say that I've said it,
- 11:22Speaker 1: prayed for people who are sick, and I've said that before,
- 11:25Speaker 1: and people have challenged that and.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Say, of course it's God's will. Amen.
- 11:29Speaker 1: But if it's God's will, then everything that works in
- 11:34Speaker 1: your life and my life will come to pass, and
- 11:37Speaker 1: it will be a perfect purpose and plan that God has.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Amen.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Regardless if our prayers seem to be effective or ineffective,
- 11:48Speaker 1: God's word is always effective and powerful. Six John chapter six,
- 11:55Speaker 1: verse thirty eight four. I have This is the Lord's speaking,
- 11:58Speaker 1: For I have come down from heaven.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Right. So Jesus is eternal. Right. He came down.
- 12:05Speaker 1: From heaven not to do my own will, but to
- 12:10Speaker 1: do the will of him who sent me. One of
- 12:15Speaker 1: the wills of God for your life and my life
- 12:17Speaker 1: is for us to believe. And the one that the
- 12:20Speaker 1: Father sent, not the one that the Father created, the
- 12:24Speaker 1: one that the Father sent. Jesus himself says, I have
- 12:27Speaker 1: come down from heaven. So like literally, the Lord is
- 12:32Speaker 1: telling us I was already alive. I'm coming down from
- 12:36Speaker 1: a place of power, a paradise, a place above.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Heaven and our earth.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Right, I came down, not from heaven, not to do
- 12:51Speaker 1: my own will. So Jesus is humble, soding. Listen, if
- 12:55Speaker 1: I wanted to do what I wanted to do, I
- 12:56Speaker 1: would have did it, but to do the will of
- 12:59Speaker 1: him who sent me, which is the Father who sent
- 13:03Speaker 1: the Son, and the Son sent the Holy Spirit. So
- 13:06Speaker 1: I believe I'm starting to see more clearly and clearly
- 13:09Speaker 1: than the scriptures that Jesus literally, if you think about it,
- 13:15Speaker 1: he doesn't really he didn't love the people.
- 13:18Speaker 2: He saved the people. Amen.
- 13:19Speaker 1: It's an act of love. The Father is the one
- 13:24Speaker 1: who loves the world so much, who loves the people
- 13:27Speaker 1: so much that he sent himself in the form of
- 13:31Speaker 1: a man, Amen, to save the world, not to condemn
- 13:34Speaker 1: the world. And then Jesus, out of the act of
- 13:37Speaker 1: love and the act of mercy and the act of grace,
- 13:40Speaker 1: sent one just like him to live in us right,
- 13:44Speaker 1: and every single one of his children to live in
- 13:48Speaker 1: this world with him, Holy Spirit God, and he guides us.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Father loves the Son, says Holy Spirit. Gods, we have
- 13:58Speaker 1: it all God's will for all of our lives. If
- 14:02Speaker 1: it's God's will Jesus perfect example, he says, Listen came
- 14:06Speaker 1: down from a place of perfection to a place of imperfection,
- 14:11Speaker 1: yet he himself is still perfect. The God Man never sinned.
- 14:15Speaker 1: There's no conspiracy, nothing happened, nothing came up, like unfortunately
- 14:20Speaker 1: a lot of times when a preacher dies, some things
- 14:24Speaker 1: come up and say, oh, this person, that, this, that
- 14:27Speaker 1: and the third And no conspiracy, no accusations came up
- 14:34Speaker 1: at the death of the Lord Jesus, as a matter
- 14:36Speaker 1: of fact, three days later, and man, they had three
- 14:39Speaker 1: days to come up with something, a lie, whatever. Three
- 14:42Speaker 1: days later he rose from the grave, improving again. He
- 14:45Speaker 1: makes statements, kingdom statements, and he proved again and again
- 14:49Speaker 1: and again that he is the eternal One. A man
- 14:53Speaker 1: in the form of a man came down from heaven
- 14:57Speaker 1: to earth to show us the way. Perfect example, perfect
- 15:02Speaker 1: example of a man living out the will of God
- 15:07Speaker 1: in his life.
- 15:08Speaker 2: And through his life.
- 15:09Speaker 1: So we have, especially as believers, Christians, christ followers, we
- 15:13Speaker 1: have no excuse not to know the will of God.
- 15:16Speaker 1: The will of the Father is for us to believe
- 15:19Speaker 1: in the one who he scents and Holy Spirit in us.
- 15:23Speaker 2: After we go to Jesus and.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Get transformed renewed, he finds us because we were lost.
- 15:29Speaker 1: He forgives us because we were in need of forgiveness.
- 15:32Speaker 1: He cleanses us because we were filthy of sin. He
- 15:36Speaker 1: does all that work in our hearts and our minds
- 15:39Speaker 1: and transforms and renews and redeems and restores, and now
- 15:43Speaker 1: we can live the righteous life. It is God's will
- 15:46Speaker 1: for us to follow the one that the Father sent.
- 15:51Speaker 1: And we are reminded of this scripture. We are reminded
- 15:55Speaker 1: of the compassion and the passion of the Lord by
- 15:58Speaker 1: way of Holy Spirit God who Jesus before he has sended,
- 16:03Speaker 1: he promised to send.
- 16:04Speaker 2: One just like him.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And the people in the Upper Room, the one hundred
- 16:08Speaker 1: and twenty who were waiting for Holy Spirit, they got
- 16:11Speaker 1: the goods. They finally a men were filled, were filled
- 16:16Speaker 1: with Holy Spirit, God Living. And ever since the power
- 16:20Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit God was poured upon his people, we
- 16:23Speaker 1: have the ability to do more exploits than even Jesus did.
- 16:28Speaker 1: When he was confining himself. It was a humbling experience
- 16:31Speaker 1: confined himself to a living body amen, and he could
- 16:36Speaker 1: not be omnipresent at that time. The Father was always omnipresent.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Jesus humbled himself to the form of a man to be,
- 16:44Speaker 1: you know, in one place, in one area of the time,
- 16:46Speaker 1: even though he could have just been omnipresent in the
- 16:50Speaker 1: body as well. Then if you think about it, he
- 16:53Speaker 1: did have a transformation, transfiguration in front of some of
- 16:58Speaker 1: his disciples.
- 17:00Speaker 2: That it was pure light.
- 17:01Speaker 1: And then there was two other with him, Elijah and Moses.
- 17:06Speaker 1: At least they looked like Elijah and Moses according to
- 17:09Speaker 1: the scriptures right.
- 17:10Speaker 2: And then it.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Showed that he was the light of the world right,
- 17:15Speaker 1: and that he was a savior, the Messiah, the michik McGee.
- 17:19Speaker 2: So many ways you could look.
- 17:21Speaker 1: At the scripture and see God's will. Jesus said, the
- 17:25Speaker 1: will that he did was following the.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Will of the Father.
- 17:30Speaker 1: He asked us to follow him, Amen, not to follow
- 17:33Speaker 1: a religion or not to follow some kind of you know, formula,
- 17:38Speaker 1: but to follow him. He has the perfect plan, the
- 17:41Speaker 1: perfect will for our lives.
- 17:42Speaker 2: And Holy Spirit. Listen us all three in one. Amen.
- 17:45Speaker 1: We have them all, and God is faith and faithful
- 17:48Speaker 1: to us.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Amen.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Blessed, blessed, blessed. We all blessed in all kinds of ways.
- 17:54Speaker 1: I hope you understand that help you realize the blessing
- 17:57Speaker 1: of the Lord for your life if it's God's will,
- 18:00Speaker 1: and then God's will will show you, Amen, how to
- 18:05Speaker 1: move and how.
- 18:06Speaker 2: To be and who to be excited about and incited for. Amen.
- 18:12Speaker 1: So when you obey God's will, you are acting like Jesus,
- 18:16Speaker 1: because Jesus obeyed the will of the Father.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Right, There's no other way around it.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Obedience is not always comfortable, like I said earlier, but
- 18:25Speaker 1: the obedience is next level life.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Amen.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Life in abundance is based on being obedient to what
- 18:34Speaker 1: the Lord has for you and what the Lord has
- 18:36Speaker 1: for me. Brother Frank, I see you. Good morning, bless
- 18:39Speaker 1: you Sam and your family, Brother, and good morning to
- 18:41Speaker 1: everybody on the morning.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Devo.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Thank you for the morning blessings, and thank you for
- 18:46Speaker 1: sliding through before work. Right, God, bless you, my bro.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Jesus lived his entire life. Jesus lived his entire life incomplete,
- 18:55Speaker 1: not halfway obedience, not okay if I feel like it,
- 18:59Speaker 1: type of will bedience. He lived his life in complete
- 19:03Speaker 1: submission obedience to the Father's will. We just read it.
- 19:08Speaker 1: John six thirty eight. For I have come down from
- 19:10Speaker 1: heaven not to do my own will, but the will
- 19:13Speaker 1: of him who sent me, which is the Father, even
- 19:16Speaker 1: in the most difficult moments of his life. Right Jesus prayed, Father,
- 19:24Speaker 1: if you are willing, if you are willing, take this
- 19:28Speaker 1: cup for me. Yet not my will, but yours be
- 19:32Speaker 1: done Luke twenty two, forty two. So it shows that
- 19:36Speaker 1: this type of obedience, the Lord Jesus type of obedience
- 19:40Speaker 1: is example of obedience doesn't always mean you're going to
- 19:43Speaker 1: be in a comfortable place, doesn't always mean that you're
- 19:46Speaker 1: going to be in a mountaintop having a mountaintop experience.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Sometimes it's about sacrifice. Sometimes it's about suffering. A lot
- 19:55Speaker 1: of people check out when they say what a Christian
- 19:57Speaker 1: has to suffer. When we suffer, we are actually tying
- 20:01Speaker 1: in with what the Lord suffered. Amen, suffering or surrendering
- 20:06Speaker 1: your desires? How about that? A lot of times it's
- 20:09Speaker 1: not about how much scripture we know. It's about how
- 20:12Speaker 1: much we're willing to obey, Like my brother Reached Johnson
- 20:14Speaker 1: says on his podcast, Amen, Gutter and Saint Right, So
- 20:20Speaker 1: I mean it's true, how much of the word you
- 20:23Speaker 1: know it's great, but how much of the word do
- 20:26Speaker 1: you obey?
- 20:27Speaker 2: And we should obey at all?
- 20:28Speaker 1: This shows us that obedience doesn't always mean comfort. Jesus
- 20:33Speaker 1: fulfilled his purpose. He fulfilled his purpose by his obedience,
- 20:37Speaker 1: and he glorified God through it all. Amazing next level, Amen,
- 20:42Speaker 1: Apostle Felix Hose Cologne, God bless you. Hello from colleague Columbia. Amen,
- 20:50Speaker 1: thank you for coming through. I don't know what the
- 20:52Speaker 1: time zone difference is, Amen, but thank you so much
- 20:54Speaker 1: for coming through my brother and my friend. So it's
- 20:58Speaker 1: just an amazing work that God does daily.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Amen.
- 21:02Speaker 1: There's never a day that the Lord takes off of
- 21:04Speaker 1: being God. There's never a day of that the Lord
- 21:07Speaker 1: doesn't do the will of God because he is God.
- 21:10Speaker 1: There's never a day off that the power of God's
- 21:12Speaker 1: Word just stops working.
- 21:15Speaker 2: The power of.
- 21:16Speaker 1: The Word of God lives and is alive and works
- 21:19Speaker 1: every single day of our lives. So seek God's will daily,
- 21:24Speaker 1: Seek his will daily, spend time in scripture and prayer,
- 21:29Speaker 1: asking God, what do you want me to do today?
- 21:34Speaker 2: What part can.
- 21:35Speaker 1: I play in the in your scheme of salvation and
- 21:40Speaker 1: the whole plan that you have off of this world
- 21:43Speaker 1: you might be saying, well, I can't save everybody. We
- 21:45Speaker 1: can't save anybody. Heymen, that's a good statement. We can't
- 21:49Speaker 1: save anybody, but the lawyer can. All whosoever who calls
- 21:54Speaker 1: upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now
- 21:57Speaker 1: maybe not, I'll think about it. No, God said he'll
- 22:02Speaker 1: save you, and he'll save me. All we have to
- 22:05Speaker 1: do right is go to him. Be obedient to the
- 22:10Speaker 1: prompting of Holy Spirit. Like right now, people are being
- 22:13Speaker 1: prompted to do something by Holy Spirit. God, he is
- 22:17Speaker 1: the one that prompts us to move forward to do
- 22:21Speaker 1: something about whatever it is that's bothering you that you
- 22:25Speaker 1: see injustice, You see the homeless, You see people that
- 22:29Speaker 1: don't have peace in their heart, in their life. You
- 22:31Speaker 1: preach the Gospel through your lifestyle, and man, I'm working
- 22:35Speaker 1: in a situation right now. Someone that I met, they're
- 22:39Speaker 1: in a different mindset along. All I'm trying to do
- 22:43Speaker 1: is be who I am in Christ and wait for
- 22:46Speaker 1: the question to come up, what do you believe? Sam
- 22:49Speaker 1: and then I can present the gospel. I'm presenting the
- 22:52Speaker 1: Gospel as I'm living differently from the person the way
- 22:57Speaker 1: they live their behaviorsaviors are some of my old patterns right,
- 23:03Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like me no more. It's amazing
- 23:06Speaker 1: how God will change not only your identity because now
- 23:11Speaker 1: we have identity in Christ, but he would transform your
- 23:13Speaker 1: whole behavior and renew your mind. And it's amazing. You
- 23:18Speaker 1: look back at the things in the old patterns and
- 23:20Speaker 1: you say, wow, I used to do that. Now no
- 23:22Speaker 1: longer have to because before Jesus saved us, we were
- 23:28Speaker 1: slaves to all kinds of stuff, all kind of sin,
- 23:32Speaker 1: simple behavior, old patterns, lifestyles that were dangerously and what
- 23:40Speaker 1: is that word?
- 23:42Speaker 2: That were dangerous like?
- 23:44Speaker 1: They weren't good for anybody, including yourself, including myself. Learn
- 23:50Speaker 1: to recognize the voice of Holy Spirit guiding your steps.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Right when we learn who Holy Spirit is, we know
- 23:57Speaker 1: his voice, and the stranger's voice would not follow the
- 24:01Speaker 1: good Shepherd, which is the Lord the sheep hear the
- 24:03Speaker 1: shepherd's voice, and a stranger's voice.
- 24:06Speaker 2: We will not follow.
- 24:07Speaker 1: When I hear Holy Spirit, God, honestly, this is what
- 24:10Speaker 1: I hear. I hear my own voice telling me to
- 24:12Speaker 1: do or to be, or reminding me of spiriture. It's
- 24:16Speaker 1: my own voice. I hear it audibly in my mind.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:19Speaker 1: But how the words flow and what I'm told to do.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I could guarantee you that's Holy Spirit God. It's not
- 24:28Speaker 1: the way I think is the way that I'm starting
- 24:31Speaker 1: to think. Amen, Because He's guiding me and leading me
- 24:34Speaker 1: into all truth. And if you're filled with Holy Spirit,
- 24:37Speaker 1: he's guiding and leading you to all truth as well.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Amen.
- 24:41Speaker 1: This is without any theological degree or degree of doctorates
- 24:46Speaker 1: and this and doctors. This is not about seminary. It's
- 24:49Speaker 1: about simply following Holy Spirit.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Amen.
- 24:52Speaker 1: I have nothing against people going to seminary and getting educated.
- 24:55Speaker 1: That's great, but you get to probably have to unlearn
- 24:58Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff when you look at this
- 24:59Speaker 1: sc for what it really is and how God through
- 25:02Speaker 1: Holy Spirit speaks and he wants us to move.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Saved by grace, Yes, God's riches at Christ's expense, the
- 25:11Speaker 1: word grace. You can break that down that way right.
- 25:14Speaker 1: The scripture says he came down from heaven. That's a
- 25:17Speaker 1: humble situation. That's a sacrificial thing, that's something that is selfless.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Why would anyone want to be in paradise? Who is
- 25:27Speaker 1: in paradise come down to a place that ultimately they
- 25:31Speaker 1: will have to suffer and die for right. People say, well,
- 25:36Speaker 1: there's other planets with other life and all that we
- 25:38Speaker 1: don't know that. I mean, that's a great assumption. I
- 25:41Speaker 1: would think, I would think that God has life on
- 25:45Speaker 1: other planets as well a man, he's.
- 25:46Speaker 2: That great of a god.
- 25:47Speaker 1: But the scriptures are talking about the planet Earth, where
- 25:50Speaker 1: we are right and Jesus came from Heaven to Earth
- 25:55Speaker 1: to Earth to our planet. So I'm not really, I
- 25:59Speaker 1: mean not really too concern about life and other planets.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Praise God, He's God.
- 26:05Speaker 2: And Lord over them as well.
- 26:07Speaker 1: But where we are right here in our universe and
- 26:11Speaker 1: our time and our space on this planet Earth, he's
- 26:14Speaker 1: making moves and showing his people his glory and showing
- 26:18Speaker 1: his grace and mercy to us daily, not weekly. Now
- 26:24Speaker 1: every time you are at service at church, now, every
- 26:26Speaker 1: time you get together for a prayer call, don't daily.
- 26:29Speaker 1: He's moving in our lives, Amen, And he's showing us
- 26:32Speaker 1: more and more of who he is. And that is
- 26:34Speaker 1: the will of God for us to believe. And the
- 26:37Speaker 1: one who the Father sent, which is the Lord Jesus,
- 26:40Speaker 1: and then Holy Spirit, God who lives inside of every
- 26:43Speaker 1: saved born again believer, has the goods to know that
- 26:47Speaker 1: this is true and we have the proof, the evidence
- 26:50Speaker 1: in our own transformed transformed life.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Amen.
- 26:55Speaker 1: And I just ran out of the time I was
- 26:57Speaker 1: starting to preach. I don't know why, but Amen, So
- 26:59Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thank for hanging out with me
- 27:00Speaker 1: John chapter six. We were at verse number thirty eight.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I believe it was John six thirty eight.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Yes, but you should read the whole chapter of John
- 27:13Speaker 1: chapter six to get the whole idea behind what I
- 27:16Speaker 1: was speaking about.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Amen.
- 27:18Speaker 1: So, God bless you all. Thank you so much for
- 27:20Speaker 1: hanging out with me for these morning DeVos. God bless
- 27:22Speaker 1: you all, and remember always that God is good.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Peace.
