Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God bless you. Welcome back
- 0:07Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. It's your brother Sam Lopez aka
- 0:10Speaker 1: DJ Sam Rock so win is with a Z I
- 0:13Speaker 1: org you or welcome back to the Morning Devo. If
- 0:16Speaker 1: this is your first time on the Morning Devo, however
- 0:20Speaker 1: you got the notification or maybe I invited you via
- 0:24Speaker 1: email or text, Welcome. I want to personally welcome to
- 0:28Speaker 1: you to the Morning Devo. I try to do these
- 0:30Speaker 1: Mondays through Fridays five thirty am Eastern Standard time. Amen,
- 0:34Speaker 1: we get into the word first part of our day.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I really think it makes a difference when you do that.
- 0:40Speaker 1: This has become a holy habit to me. Amen, It's
- 0:42Speaker 1: not a ritual. It's something that I find power in.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It motivates me. The Word of God is always challenging
- 0:50Speaker 1: me and growing me. And I believe it would do
- 0:52Speaker 1: the same for you. Amen. And it's good. God is
- 0:54Speaker 1: good all the time. His word is good, his word
- 0:56Speaker 1: is true, His word is relevant all the time a man.
- 1:01Speaker 1: So we don't have to force anything, We don't have
- 1:04Speaker 1: to try to develop some kind of format. We just
- 1:08Speaker 1: simply read the word. The question today is can a
- 1:12Speaker 1: wealthy person fully trust God? I'm talking about people who
- 1:18Speaker 1: got it like they got money, they got possessions. Can
- 1:21Speaker 1: they fully trust God? Can a wealthy person fully put
- 1:26Speaker 1: their whole faith and trust in the Lord? Amen? Well,
- 1:29Speaker 1: we gonna find out. Amen. At least we gonna look
- 1:31Speaker 1: at a scripture and we're gonna look at it from
- 1:34Speaker 1: that vantage point. We're gonna look at what the word
- 1:36Speaker 1: says concerning this question. Financial freedom is not about how
- 1:43Speaker 1: much we have, but it's about whom we trust. We'll
- 1:49Speaker 1: say that again, financial freedom for all the rich people
- 1:52Speaker 1: out there, it's not about how much you have, it's
- 1:55Speaker 1: about whom you trust. We'd be a first sympathy Chapter
- 1:59Speaker 1: number six, Verse number seventeen. Amen. And I hope and
- 2:03Speaker 1: pray that if you have an abundance of wealth, Amen,
- 2:06Speaker 1: that you'll be listening, and you're listening with an open heart,
- 2:09Speaker 1: a man and the heart to receive what the Lord
- 2:12Speaker 1: is about to reveal to us by way of his
- 2:15Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, by way of his living Word. Amen. Can
- 2:18Speaker 1: a wealthy person fully trust God? Today in the morning, Devo.
- 2:21Speaker 1: If you have many questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or
- 2:24Speaker 1: anything along those lines, please do not hesitate to leave
- 2:28Speaker 1: it on a live chat. That's what we're here for. Amen.
- 2:31Speaker 1: We're here to connect. We're here to devote some time.
- 2:34Speaker 1: First thing in the morning. If you're watching this as
- 2:37Speaker 1: a replay, Amen, try to use these morning devotions as
- 2:42Speaker 1: the first thing that pops up in your day or
- 2:45Speaker 1: at the end of your day. However, you get the
- 2:48Speaker 1: Word of God inside of you. I believe the more
- 2:50Speaker 1: of the Word that you get inside, the more it
- 2:52Speaker 1: will come out by way of your mouth. You will
- 2:54Speaker 1: speak the word, you will believe the word, you will
- 2:57Speaker 1: apply the word. Because the Word of God is alive
- 3:00Speaker 1: and shopping at any double edged sword, and the Word
- 3:02Speaker 1: of God is able to do exactly what the Word
- 3:05Speaker 1: is intended to do. Amen, And that's powerful. So let's
- 3:08Speaker 1: pray first. After we pray, we'll shd us out for
- 3:10Speaker 1: like sixty seconds, and then on the other side of
- 3:13Speaker 1: those sixty seconds, we'll get right into first Timothy Chatter
- 3:17Speaker 1: number six, Verse number seventeen. You ready, Father, I thank
- 3:20Speaker 1: you so much. I woke up, and the people on
- 3:24Speaker 1: the other end of this screen and on the other
- 3:27Speaker 1: end of this mic woke up to thank you for
- 3:29Speaker 1: waking us up, giving us an opportunity to get into
- 3:32Speaker 1: your word. And that the word will get into us.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that your holy spirit, Holy Spirit, God,
- 3:38Speaker 1: that you will move, you will lead, you will guide us,
- 3:41Speaker 1: you will teach us all truth, and that you will
- 3:44Speaker 1: be evident in our hearts and our minds everywhere we go,
- 3:48Speaker 1: that there will be evidence of what we learned, there'll
- 3:50Speaker 1: be evidence of what we can adjust in our lives
- 3:54Speaker 1: where we could apply in our lives. I pray a
- 3:56Speaker 1: head protection of our lives. I pray health to our body,
- 3:59Speaker 1: strength to our bones. In a powerful name of Jesus,
- 4:02Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that you would do that for me, myself,
- 4:05Speaker 1: my wife, our children, our grandchildren, and every single person
- 4:09Speaker 1: that we are related to, our friends, our family, our community,
- 4:13Speaker 1: our church, our leaders, the people who follow amen the Lord.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I pray that over every single person that's listening and
- 4:21Speaker 1: watching connected now. But you would do the same to
- 4:23Speaker 1: them as well, Oh Jesus, that you would show up
- 4:26Speaker 1: in their situation, that you would be with them, that
- 4:29Speaker 1: you would be our comforter, our God, our helper, just
- 4:31Speaker 1: like your word says you would be. And if we
- 4:34Speaker 1: find ourselves in a wealthy situation, and we find ourselves
- 4:38Speaker 1: in a lap of luxury, and a whole bunch of possessions,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and we would ask our questions the same question, can we, really,
- 4:46Speaker 1: as a wealthy person, fully put our trust in you?
- 4:49Speaker 1: Lord God, help us in this question, Lord God, in
- 4:53Speaker 1: Jesus Holy Name. I pray by faith and those who agree,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and those who are curious, and those who believe that
- 4:59Speaker 1: God going to reveal himself to you today. You just
- 5:03Speaker 1: say Amen, two the amen. Amen, Let's go for it.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Help me shut this out sixty seconds. I'm gonna try
- 5:10Speaker 1: to go as fast as I can. Ayman, I know,
- 5:11Speaker 1: always the last one coming back on the screen, last
- 5:14Speaker 1: one coming back after we shared this out. But I'll
- 5:17Speaker 1: try my best sixty seconds to share this out and
- 5:19Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get right into it.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Hey man, Amen, we're back.
- 7:04Speaker 1: And I just realized on the podcast listeners didn't get
- 7:06Speaker 1: the background music for that sixty seconds, so it's gonna
- 7:10Speaker 1: be an eerie minute of silence. My apologies for that.
- 7:13Speaker 1: To put the thing up, I was rushing to try
- 7:15Speaker 1: to share all these to all the groups.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Man.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I wish there was an app to share this out
- 7:21Speaker 1: automatically to all the groups at once. The app for
- 7:25Speaker 1: that probably is if I just don't know where it's
- 7:28Speaker 1: at how to get Amen. So let's go for it.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Let me do some things here in the background, and
- 7:34Speaker 1: we'll get into it. Man, let's see all right, Amen,
- 7:46Speaker 1: let's go for it. I'm gonna put this on the
- 7:47Speaker 1: screen for those who are just listening at Soul Winners
- 7:50Speaker 1: with a z Org the Celebrator Network. Amen, no worries.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'm going to read this word for word, so that way, Amen,
- 8:00Speaker 1: you'll get the sauce, just like we're getting a sauce
- 8:03Speaker 1: word for word. You're just not going to see the graphic.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And I love audio. If it was up to me,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I'll just do audio only it is up to me, really,
- 8:11Speaker 1: But it's something about social media that it funnels people
- 8:17Speaker 1: to a place where they can put a face to
- 8:20Speaker 1: the voice. I understand that some people are like that.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Some people learn visually. I learned audibly. Amen. I like
- 8:27Speaker 1: to hear things. Maybe that's why I'm a DJ. But Amen,
- 8:30Speaker 1: either way, you're welcome. You're welcome to this place. This
- 8:33Speaker 1: is a safe place. We don't argue, went on debate.
- 8:36Speaker 1: We just get into the word. So let me put
- 8:38Speaker 1: it on the screen so that way you see what
- 8:39Speaker 1: we're doing. Can a wealthy person fully trust God? And
- 8:43Speaker 1: of course I put the fancy sports car in the background,
- 8:46Speaker 1: because you already know when people get this wealth, Amen,
- 8:50Speaker 1: they get possessions like we ain't even gonna front about that, right.
- 8:55Speaker 1: You know that if you would get a lot of
- 8:59Speaker 1: money or final breakthrough a man, you'll start getting stuff.
- 9:02Speaker 1: And me, you give me a million dollars, I'm gonna
- 9:06Speaker 1: try my best to share that million dollars with the community. Amen,
- 9:10Speaker 1: and to help some other people who are less fortunate. Absolutely,
- 9:14Speaker 1: But the ivan God, bless you, my bro, God, bless you.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning dev with my friend and my bro.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Let's go for this Amen. And it goes to curser
- 9:22Speaker 1: that shows up when I say, don't show the curser
- 9:25Speaker 1: that it's crazy. First Sympathy, Chapter six, verse seventeen. The
- 9:29Speaker 1: Bible says, as for the rich in this present world,
- 9:33Speaker 1: instruct them not to be conceded and arrogant, nor to
- 9:39Speaker 1: set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God,
- 9:45Speaker 1: who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
- 9:53Speaker 1: People think that God is a god that withholds things.
- 9:57Speaker 1: God's not a guy who withholds things. God is a
- 10:00Speaker 1: guy who puts up boundaries because he loves us, and
- 10:03Speaker 1: if he doesn't put those boundaries up, we would just
- 10:05Speaker 1: go crazy. But as for the rich, if that's you, amen,
- 10:11Speaker 1: and you are present and this time that we're living in,
- 10:17Speaker 1: don't be conceited and arrogant. I've met people rich people
- 10:21Speaker 1: that were the kindest people on the planet Earth. Man
- 10:24Speaker 1: very humble, and they don't brag about what they have.
- 10:28Speaker 1: They have a lot, but they don't brag about They're
- 10:31Speaker 1: always sowing into communities, swing into ministries. Some of them
- 10:35Speaker 1: are believers, some of them are not. Their morality is
- 10:37Speaker 1: pretty much in check even if they're not believers, and
- 10:41Speaker 1: they're just beautiful people. And then I've met these people
- 10:45Speaker 1: that are conceited and arrogant because they have XYZ, they're rich,
- 10:50Speaker 1: they have possessions. Man, people who set their hope on
- 10:57Speaker 1: the uncertainty of riches instead of put in your hope
- 11:00Speaker 1: in God. And they're putting their hope in God, and
- 11:03Speaker 1: they're not gonna they don't get it because anything that
- 11:07Speaker 1: happens to their wealth without putting that hope in God first,
- 11:12Speaker 1: or anything that they put in front of God, like
- 11:15Speaker 1: their money and their possessions. If they put that before
- 11:18Speaker 1: God will become an idol. And either way that's not good. God,
- 11:27Speaker 1: though he gives without ceasing, He provides NonStop, and he
- 11:36Speaker 1: provides for his children, for us, everything for our enjoyment,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and doesn't mean enjoyment the way the world says, just
- 11:49Speaker 1: enjoyed your time. I believe he's something about the joy
- 11:53Speaker 1: of the Lord. And we'll be able to give, and
- 11:57Speaker 1: we'll be able to sow into lives, and we'll be
- 11:59Speaker 1: able to help more people. We'll be able to spread
- 12:02Speaker 1: the gospel. Amen, in a wider way. I believe that's
- 12:07Speaker 1: what the enjoyment that the Lord is talking about. Amen.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I don't think it's the enjoyment like, oh, just let's
- 12:13Speaker 1: take a thousand dollars right now, just like splurge and
- 12:16Speaker 1: do x y Z. God loves to lavish us. He
- 12:20Speaker 1: loves to lavish his children. The Boble says, he loves
- 12:23Speaker 1: to give us gifts. And a gift comes from the
- 12:26Speaker 1: Father of lights. Amen. Have you ever read that scripture?
- 12:30Speaker 1: In him? There is no shadow or way of turning.
- 12:33Speaker 1: God has lights, He's life, Amen, and he owns it all.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He owns it all. So what I'm trying to say
- 12:40Speaker 1: is trust God, don't trust money. Right. Is the Lord Jesus,
- 12:47Speaker 1: the Lord Christ? Right, not the Lord Crypto. Amen, we're
- 12:52Speaker 1: not following crypto. We're not into just Oh, whatever the
- 12:57Speaker 1: money does, let's go for the money. No money should
- 13:03Speaker 1: be following a believer. We shouldn't be following after money.
- 13:06Speaker 1: We shouldn't be chased. Money should be chasing after us.
- 13:08Speaker 1: We shouldn't be chasing after the money. God is the
- 13:11Speaker 1: one who provides the health for us to gain wealth,
- 13:15Speaker 1: So we should put him first and all our dealings.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Put him first in everything that we do, and watch
- 13:20Speaker 1: all the blessings and all the mercies and all the
- 13:23Speaker 1: favor of God follow. Amen. So we should be that God.
- 13:28Speaker 1: We should be You should be that woman. Amen, that
- 13:31Speaker 1: when wherever you go you see favor, the favor of
- 13:34Speaker 1: God will follow, favor of God will go before you,
- 13:37Speaker 1: the favor of God will be after you. Amen, and
- 13:41Speaker 1: you'll be living and the promise of abundant living, the
- 13:45Speaker 1: abundant life that Jesus promised us. Right, not just scraping by,
- 13:51Speaker 1: not just chasing after the new trends, chasing after the
- 13:53Speaker 1: shiny things, but being present and what God has for
- 13:57Speaker 1: you and what God has for me. That when I'm learning,
- 14:00Speaker 1: I'm learning with you, Amen to trust God, not money.
- 14:04Speaker 1: It's not about how much we have, but it's about
- 14:07Speaker 1: whom we trust. Listen to this. True security, True security
- 14:13Speaker 1: comes from faith in God, not in earthly riches, Not
- 14:18Speaker 1: in earthly riches, because can you imagine putting your whole
- 14:21Speaker 1: faith and trust in earthly riches. Things that rust, things
- 14:24Speaker 1: that these will want to come and take from us,
- 14:27Speaker 1: things that depreciate in value as soon as like a
- 14:30Speaker 1: day or two after you get it. Especially new cars. Hey,
- 14:34Speaker 1: I'm not a hater of people who get new cars.
- 14:37Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I don't think it's a wise investment.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I would want a new car. There's certain cars that
- 14:43Speaker 1: I will never ever buy like, or try to buy
- 14:47Speaker 1: or even try to lease or to try to get
- 14:50Speaker 1: a loan for because they're just like flat out crazy
- 14:54Speaker 1: expensive and it doesn't make any sense to me. Right,
- 14:56Speaker 1: But if you have it, go ahead and go ahead
- 14:58Speaker 1: and bless yourself. Go ahead and be blessed. But it's
- 15:03Speaker 1: not a wise investment to me. Some cars, I just say,
- 15:06Speaker 1: like my daughter would see she saw the cyber truck
- 15:09Speaker 1: yesterday said would you get that car? I'd be like,
- 15:11Speaker 1: if somebody gave it to me, that to me, I'm
- 15:14Speaker 1: sorry that truck is ugly, but I know it's about status.
- 15:17Speaker 1: It gives people status. It gives people like, look what
- 15:20Speaker 1: I have, and it shows that they have wealth. I
- 15:23Speaker 1: guess because the design to me is flat out ugly.
- 15:27Speaker 1: But I told my daughter if they if somebody gave
- 15:29Speaker 1: me that truck, I would take it, but I would
- 15:32Speaker 1: never try to my goal. Would never try to get
- 15:36Speaker 1: something so expensive and so ugly in my opinion, and
- 15:40Speaker 1: just just just to tell people that I have it,
- 15:43Speaker 1: or for somebody to say, oh wow, you got a
- 15:46Speaker 1: cyber truck and then walk away. That's basically that's all
- 15:48Speaker 1: you get to get. And man, the rewards of this
- 15:51Speaker 1: earthly riches are very temporal, but the rewards of the
- 15:55Speaker 1: Lord are continuous and eternal. A man, I'm trying to
- 15:59Speaker 1: grab the and the riches of God. I think that's
- 16:02Speaker 1: a better deal. What do you think? Since duey and
- 16:04Speaker 1: good morning, God, bless you. Amen, it's good to see
- 16:09Speaker 1: you on the morning. Devo, my sister and my friend.
- 16:12Speaker 1: So first, Timothy six read the whole chapter were captain
- 16:17Speaker 1: out our verse seventeen, trusting in God over money all
- 16:21Speaker 1: the time. Amen. There's a movement in the holy hip
- 16:24Speaker 1: hop world, right, Christian hip hop, God over money, and
- 16:28Speaker 1: the movement is amazing because they're literally speaking things into
- 16:34Speaker 1: existence according to the scriptures, and they're resisting. They have accolades,
- 16:40Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of followers. Their music
- 16:43Speaker 1: is good and it moves. But they don't put their faith,
- 16:48Speaker 1: hope and trust in the financial stuff. They put their faith,
- 16:52Speaker 1: hope and trust and the Father of Lights, who gives
- 16:57Speaker 1: them the ability to get everything done. And when the
- 17:00Speaker 1: money comes in, the finances come in, the breakthrough comes in.
- 17:03Speaker 1: You see them sow and sees all over because the
- 17:07Speaker 1: more our believer gets, the more we could sew into
- 17:09Speaker 1: other people's lives. Right, isn't a gospel message just not
- 17:13Speaker 1: for us? The gospel message is for those who are
- 17:15Speaker 1: willing to hear and listen to the gospel. How would
- 17:18Speaker 1: they know about the gospel message of the Lord. How
- 17:21Speaker 1: would they know about the good news of the Kingdom
- 17:23Speaker 1: of God unless somebody go ahead and tell them. Amen.
- 17:27Speaker 1: So what I'm doing right now it costs, right, but
- 17:30Speaker 1: I'm not worrying about the cost. God called me to
- 17:33Speaker 1: do what I'm doing. He called you to do what
- 17:35Speaker 1: you need to do. Amen. He will provide a way
- 17:38Speaker 1: for you to get the mission, the assignment that he
- 17:40Speaker 1: has for you done. So don't worry about, Oh, where
- 17:44Speaker 1: is this going to come from, How I'm gonna pay this,
- 17:46Speaker 1: how I'm going to do that, don't worry about that.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Don't worry at all. The Bible says, trust in God. Amen.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Trust in God. So financial freedom, I want it, you
- 17:57Speaker 1: want it, amen, but I believe I believe we have
- 18:00Speaker 1: it before we see it. In other words, this is
- 18:02Speaker 1: a move of faith, hoping and trusting on the things
- 18:06Speaker 1: of this world is really it's like damaging, like it's
- 18:12Speaker 1: gonna let you down. Trust me. I was on that
- 18:14Speaker 1: side before I was saved. Fast money, fast cars, girls,
- 18:20Speaker 1: the whole thing that the world promises. It left me
- 18:23Speaker 1: more empty than anything else. But then Jesus showed up
- 18:27Speaker 1: in my life way back in two thousand and one,
- 18:29Speaker 1: and I received this new life. A man. He woke
- 18:33Speaker 1: me up. I must have been sleeping all that time,
- 18:35Speaker 1: a man like literally, because when he woke me up,
- 18:39Speaker 1: put that spirit of God in me. Amen. I started
- 18:42Speaker 1: realizing what was what. And then I started from you know,
- 18:47Speaker 1: back from the beginning, started working at a sheets amen.
- 18:52Speaker 1: And I was so so happy for that job, for
- 18:54Speaker 1: having that job, because I knew it was a step forward,
- 18:57Speaker 1: a step out of what I was used to. I
- 19:00Speaker 1: was so grateful that God allowed me to start over, amen,
- 19:04Speaker 1: and to build again, and to dream again a man,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and to be focused on Him, the author and perfective
- 19:10Speaker 1: of my faith. So people would see me and say
- 19:13Speaker 1: people for my old job would see me something that
- 19:15Speaker 1: I was making decent money at one place, and now
- 19:19Speaker 1: they would see me serving coffee and donuts at another place,
- 19:23Speaker 1: and they were like, amen, they kind of felt sorry
- 19:26Speaker 1: for me. I was happy. I'm still happy, and they
- 19:29Speaker 1: were like, man, what are you doing here? And I
- 19:32Speaker 1: quickly explained to them, you know, I said I'm gonna
- 19:34Speaker 1: startle over now. I needed to change, you know whatever
- 19:37Speaker 1: whatever I said at the time. But they said, but
- 19:39Speaker 1: you look happy, and that was it. That was it.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I am happy, full of joy, right,
- 19:45Speaker 1: content with what I have. Amen, I'm still content with
- 19:49Speaker 1: what I have because God is good and he's faithful
- 19:51Speaker 1: and true from now to the very end, and He's
- 19:54Speaker 1: with us right now. I'll bless you by the Frank
- 19:56Speaker 1: Amen and your family as well, everybody on the Morning Devot.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Thank you for the blessings, my bro for the Morning
- 20:04Speaker 1: Devot and the people that's on here. Amen. And we're
- 20:07Speaker 1: getting people signing up. Amen. I'm excited for the Adult

- 21:31Speaker 1: gotta get it. It's on a phone. There's no code
- 21:33Speaker 1: you gotta put in. You just simply Dillar number and
- 21:36Speaker 1: you're connected to some pastor or Ralph Richer and his
- 21:41Speaker 1: beautiful wife Patricia Richer. Amen. Which happened to me, My
- 21:44Speaker 1: spiritual parents, me, my wife, spiritual parents, and they just
- 21:47Speaker 1: go in. Amen. And it's amazing how God uses them
- 21:52Speaker 1: for the community. So listen, money is a slave, horrible master. Right.
- 22:02Speaker 1: You've seen people chasing after money. You've seen people who
- 22:07Speaker 1: are wealthy, How easy or how heart is this for
- 22:10Speaker 1: them to fully put that trust in God. Bible talks
- 22:15Speaker 1: about it, says it's harder for a rich man to
- 22:17Speaker 1: enter into the Kingdom of Heaven right than it is
- 22:21Speaker 1: for a camel to go under the iron needle. Why
- 22:26Speaker 1: didn't Butcher that scripture up? But you get the point, Like,
- 22:29Speaker 1: for rich people who have possessions, it's harder for them
- 22:34Speaker 1: to believe and fully trust God, harder for them to
- 22:37Speaker 1: enter the Kingdom of God. We saw it with the
- 22:40Speaker 1: rich young ruler in Jesus. The rich rung ruler was
- 22:43Speaker 1: basically telling Jesus, man, I follow the commandments. I'm pretty good,
- 22:47Speaker 1: you know, I do X y Z. And Jesus said, okay,
- 22:50Speaker 1: you're close. And I believe that means that he was
- 22:53Speaker 1: close to the living Word, which was him, and he
- 22:56Speaker 1: was like, okay, sell your possessions. People think that Jesus
- 23:00Speaker 1: told this young rich ruler just to drop everything he's doing,
- 23:05Speaker 1: give everything away, and follow Jesus. Jesus said, is to
- 23:09Speaker 1: sell your possessions. So he would have still been wealthy.
- 23:12Speaker 1: He would have sold his possessions, still had money on him,
- 23:15Speaker 1: and then follow the lifegiver, follow the Lord Jesus, the
- 23:19Speaker 1: one who would would have gave him. This young rich
- 23:22Speaker 1: ruler abundant life, not just riches on earth, but abundant life.
- 23:27Speaker 1: And the Bible says this rich young ruler went away sad.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Why because he couldn't let go. He couldn't let it
- 23:34Speaker 1: go man, He couldn't let go his possessions. Maybe he
- 23:38Speaker 1: was thinking, what would people think of me if I
- 23:40Speaker 1: followed this man? And now I don't have the accolades,
- 23:44Speaker 1: so I don't have the possessions. Follow Jesus. If you're rich, Amen,
- 23:49Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. You have a lot
- 23:51Speaker 1: of possessions. You know exactly what I'm talking about. But
- 23:55Speaker 1: my hope is that you've put your whole faith fully
- 23:58Speaker 1: in the Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen Curtis, he says, good
