- 0:02Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God, bless you. Welcome back
- 0:05Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. Is your brother. Sam Lopez aka
- 0:08Speaker 1: DJ Sam rox so Win is with a z ol
- 0:10Speaker 1: RG Celeridio network, The Lee Have Valley's number one urban
- 0:14Speaker 1: gospel music station online since two thousand and eight. And
- 0:17Speaker 1: we're still here. I'm so grateful to God for his word,
- 0:21Speaker 1: for his promises, for his life giving transformative word, over
- 0:26Speaker 1: this ministry, over your life, over my life, and all
- 0:29Speaker 1: those whosoevers who call upon the name of the Lord
- 0:32Speaker 1: to be saved. We're still here for a purpose, a plan,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and you know we're a problem to the enemy because
- 0:39Speaker 1: we're still trusting and believing in God. Today on the
- 0:42Speaker 1: Morning Devo, Well, we're gonna talk about a contract that
- 0:46Speaker 1: we have. I call it a Christian contract. I don't
- 0:49Speaker 1: know if it's biblically sound that type of title, but
- 0:52Speaker 1: a Christian contract. God's word is legally binding in the
- 0:59Speaker 1: spiritual realm. Did you know that God's word is legally
- 1:06Speaker 1: binding in the spiritual realm? So when you declare it,
- 1:09Speaker 1: when I declare the word of God, you're standing on
- 1:13Speaker 1: Heaven's law against the lies of the enemy. So when
- 1:17Speaker 1: the enemy lies, we have a right to say no,
- 1:21Speaker 1: that's not true, because I have a promise. I have
- 1:24Speaker 1: the Word of God in my life, working through my life,
- 1:27Speaker 1: working for my life. Amen. And the devil you are
- 1:30Speaker 1: a liar and you are already defeated. Amen. That's the
- 1:34Speaker 1: truth of God because of my Christian contract. That Holy
- 1:38Speaker 1: Spirit who lives within me signed the contract. It's sealed,
- 1:43Speaker 1: it's delivered. Amen, already. So the enemy has to go,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and his lies are not going to work in your life,
- 1:51Speaker 1: and his lives are not going to work in my
- 1:53Speaker 1: life when we have this Christian contract. Amen, say that
- 1:58Speaker 1: fast three times in the morning and see your results
- 2:01Speaker 1: to Christian contract. Brother Frank, I see you, I'm usually saying,
- 2:06Speaker 1: Sister Joanne first, Brother Frank is first. Good morning, God,
- 2:09Speaker 1: bless you and your family. Thank you so much for
- 2:12Speaker 1: coming through my brother, my friend. To the morning Devo.
- 2:14Speaker 1: We're here, Amen, and I'm a little groggy, but it's
- 2:18Speaker 1: early in the morning. We are here. God is good.
- 2:20Speaker 1: God is faithful to his word. We're gonna be in
- 2:23Speaker 1: Psalms chat the one hundred and nineteen, verse eighty nine
- 2:27Speaker 1: to ninety Psalms one nineteen versus eighty nine to ninety Amen.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Today in the morning Devo. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 2:36Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, please do not
- 2:40Speaker 1: hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's what
- 2:43Speaker 1: we're here for. We're here to connect when I hear
- 2:45Speaker 1: her debate, when I here to argue. Amen, We're not
- 2:47Speaker 1: here to point fingers. We are here to get into
- 2:51Speaker 1: the Word of God for a little time that we
- 2:53Speaker 1: have in the morning, devoting the first part of our
- 2:56Speaker 1: day to the Lord. That's a holy habit, a holy habit.
- 3:01Speaker 1: When you put things first, and when you put God first,
- 3:04Speaker 1: a man, it seems at least to me that everything
- 3:07Speaker 1: seems to go according to you know, God's purpose in
- 3:11Speaker 1: our lives. You know, I don't have to force anything.
- 3:13Speaker 1: You don't have to force anything when you're in Christ, Christ,
- 3:17Speaker 1: in you the hope of glory. You just start flowing
- 3:20Speaker 1: in the things that God wants you and I to do. Amen.
- 3:23Speaker 1: In a world that's broken, in a world that needs hope, love,
- 3:27Speaker 1: and the world that needs lights because it's so much
- 3:29Speaker 1: darkness in this world. When we represent Jesus Christ, we
- 3:33Speaker 1: are ambassadors of the Lord, and we are the light
- 3:35Speaker 1: of the world and the assault of the earth. So
- 3:38Speaker 1: God ahead and be who God called you to be,
- 3:40Speaker 1: without any kind of situation that you need to be
- 3:44Speaker 1: that way. You are just that way. You are who
- 3:47Speaker 1: you are because we are His Amen. We belong to
- 3:50Speaker 1: the Lord, but the louis I see you. Good morning,
- 3:52Speaker 1: my brother, God bless you. Welcome to the morning Devo,
- 3:55Speaker 1: my brother, my friends get to see you on the
- 3:57Speaker 1: morning Devo. We're here. Let's go for it. If you
- 4:00Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, Amen, or we're
- 4:03Speaker 1: gonna pray first. After we pray, we share us out
- 4:07Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds to as many people that come
- 4:09Speaker 1: to our heart and mind. Even if you don't have
- 4:12Speaker 1: the ability to share it right now live, you may
- 4:15Speaker 1: have the ability later on to share this out to someone. Amen.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And that helps spread the Gospel message throughout the earth,
- 4:22Speaker 1: believe it or not. I'm connected to groups on social
- 4:25Speaker 1: media all over the world. So what we might be
- 4:28Speaker 1: saying today together, where we might be reading today together
- 4:31Speaker 1: can help a brother or a sistant the Lord on
- 4:33Speaker 1: the other side of the world that we may not
- 4:35Speaker 1: physically see right face to face, but we can spiritually
- 4:40Speaker 1: see them. Amen. And God sees all things first of all,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and he will send his word. He will dispatch his
- 4:46Speaker 1: angels to those places, to those individuals, and to those
- 4:49Speaker 1: territories around the earth. So thank you so much for
- 4:52Speaker 1: considering to share the morning devo to your peoples. So
- 4:56Speaker 1: let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank
- 4:58Speaker 1: you that we are a sign, sealed and delivered by
- 5:02Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. We are in a Christian contract. We have
- 5:07Speaker 1: the word and the promises of God to really be
- 5:11Speaker 1: a display of what You're doing in our hearts and
- 5:13Speaker 1: our minds to this world. In this world, I thank you,
- 5:16Speaker 1: Lord God for your hedge of protection. Thank you for
- 5:19Speaker 1: your ark ween angels that surround all of us, all
- 5:22Speaker 1: your children, all those whosoever called upon your name to
- 5:25Speaker 1: be saved. Thank you that the Angel of the Lord
- 5:27Speaker 1: in camp surround us because we are born again, we're saved.

- 5:34Speaker 1: our very best to hold our end of this Christian contract,
- 5:39Speaker 1: according to your word, according to your purposes. Thank you,
- 5:42Speaker 1: Lord God so much for the Psalmists who wrote what
- 5:46Speaker 1: we're going to read today. Love God, thank you that
- 5:48Speaker 1: it makes sense that we have the Spirit of God
- 5:50Speaker 1: living in us. So we understand the spiritual word that
- 5:53Speaker 1: you have provided for all of us to see, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: all of us to read, and all of us to apply.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that every single person listening or
- 6:01Speaker 1: watching right now will receive a supernatural revelation of who
- 6:05Speaker 1: you are in their lives. I pray for all those
- 6:08Speaker 1: who are seeking truth that they will find you, that you,
- 6:11Speaker 1: Lord God, will reveal yourself and open all the eyes
- 6:14Speaker 1: that are closed right now, Open every ear that might
- 6:17Speaker 1: not be able to hear you right now. In the
- 6:19Speaker 1: powerful name of Jesus, I pray that over myself, my wife,
- 6:23Speaker 1: our children, our grandchildren, both sides of our family, everybody
- 6:27Speaker 1: represented from the very youngest to the very oldest, and
- 6:30Speaker 1: every single person in between. I pray peace be still
- 6:34Speaker 1: over every single person in my family, and every single
- 6:37Speaker 1: person on the other side of this stream and on
- 6:39Speaker 1: the other side of this mic and Jesus Holy Name.

- 7:13Speaker 1: Brother John, Good morning to all my brothers and sisters
- 7:15Speaker 1: all around the world. Yes, we are connected. We have
- 7:19Speaker 1: one Father Amen, one faith, one church, one hope, one spirit,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and we are guided by that one holy Spirit to
- 7:26Speaker 1: lead us into the scriptures today. Help me share this out.
- 7:28Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get right into today's morning devo.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'll be right back, man. Amen, so many groups in
- 8:51Speaker 1: that little time. Amen, God is faithful. Man. You gotta
- 8:54Speaker 1: understand how happy I am when I see groups sharing
- 8:57Speaker 1: this out, Because way way way back when I first
- 9:00Speaker 1: started doing these morning DeVos, the enemy will always say,
- 9:03Speaker 1: no one's going to pay attention. No one wants to
- 9:06Speaker 1: get into a morning devotion. No one wants to know
- 9:08Speaker 1: it about the Word of God. His lies, man, his lives,
- 9:11Speaker 1: His lies are so much, and the lives of the
- 9:15Speaker 1: enemy right, the father of lies bombard our minds so
- 9:19Speaker 1: much that if we're not careful, we'll buy into those lives.
- 9:23Speaker 1: But since we have a contract, Amen, that was signed
- 9:26Speaker 1: by the Lord's blood, that was signed and sealed by
- 9:29Speaker 1: Holy Spirit of God, where we could tell the enemy
- 9:33Speaker 1: when he's lying, you're lying. He always lies. He doesn't
- 9:36Speaker 1: tell the truth. So thank you so much for God,
- 9:40Speaker 1: the Bible and Prayer Group for sharing the South. Thank
- 9:43Speaker 1: you so much for we are believers in the Holy
- 9:46Speaker 1: Spirit of God. And Jesus Christ for sharing the South.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Jesus Lovers for sharing the South.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Christian Bible Study Non Denomination Group
- 9:55Speaker 1: for sharing the South. Thank you Global Outreach Ministries for
- 9:58Speaker 1: sharing us out Thank you Jesus Loves You for sharing
- 10:00Speaker 1: the South. Thank you Daily Encouragement for sharing the South.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Thank you Born Again Christians, go ye into all the
- 10:06Speaker 1: world and preach the good News for sharing the South.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Team Jesus, thank you so much. God is great, Thank
- 10:12Speaker 1: you so much. And Christian podcasters, thank you so much. Amen.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And that's just the name a few I want to
- 10:17Speaker 1: thank you publicly. And you say the name of the
- 10:20Speaker 1: groups that where others join your groups as well. So
- 10:23Speaker 1: let's go for it. Man, Let's get into this word.
- 10:27Speaker 1: This word is powerful because it's the word of God.
- 10:30Speaker 1: It's not because I'm saying anything. It's because I'm reading
- 10:34Speaker 1: the living, powerful, everlasting, relevant, all the time ready word
- 10:41Speaker 1: of God for our lives. Amen. That's what makes touch.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Get into the living Word of God for ourselves. So
- 10:47Speaker 1: we can see what's going on. Amen, over here as
- 10:51Speaker 1: a believer, as a born again Christian living and a
- 10:55Speaker 1: land that doesn't welcome this message too well. Right, And
- 11:01Speaker 1: we know that we're starting to see that more and
- 11:03Speaker 1: more that the god'spel message is being deemed as a
- 11:08Speaker 1: hate speech or a hate message, which to me is
- 11:10Speaker 1: incredibly false, incredibly not the case. This is a message
- 11:16Speaker 1: of love that God sent us through his son. Amen.
- 11:20Speaker 1: But I don't want to start preaching. Let's get into
- 11:22Speaker 1: this one. In Devo Christian contract, Amen Withssalam one to nineteen,
- 11:28Speaker 1: verses eighty nine and ninety. The Psalma says forever, forever,
- 11:33Speaker 1: say it forever, Oh Lord, your word is settled in Heaven,
- 11:39Speaker 1: standing firm and unchangeable. Right, and look at these cross preferences,
- 11:45Speaker 1: Psalm eighty nine and two. Matthew Chapter twenty four, Verse
- 11:49Speaker 1: thirty four and thirty five one Peter, Chapter one, verse
- 11:53Speaker 1: twenty five of this idea of God's word being settled.
- 11:59Speaker 1: So everyday done. It's all through the scriptures, but we
- 12:02Speaker 1: have some reference points that we could go to if
- 12:05Speaker 1: you want to do a further or expand this study
- 12:08Speaker 1: for yourself or this morning devo for yourself. Your faithfulness,
- 12:12Speaker 1: the Word says, continues from generation to generation. You have
- 12:18Speaker 1: established the earth and it stands securely. This earth is
- 12:24Speaker 1: not standing on sinking sand. This word, this world and
- 12:29Speaker 1: this earth is standing securely on the word that's settled
- 12:33Speaker 1: in heaven, the word of the living, holy, righteous, loving God.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So this is important for us to wrap a way
- 12:40Speaker 1: to understand that when we read the Word, the word
- 12:44Speaker 1: is settled forever, not just for a temporary time in
- 12:48Speaker 1: our lives, but forever for all eternity. This is the eternal, living, holy,
- 12:55Speaker 1: righteous Word of God. And because of this word being
- 13:00Speaker 1: firmly right settled, unchangeable right according to the scriptures, we
- 13:09Speaker 1: see God's faithfulness and we see his faithfulness continually continuing
- 13:15Speaker 1: from generation, our generation, the generation before the generation after
- 13:19Speaker 1: to generation. God established the earth and the earth stands securely.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Because of this forever word settled. You need to settle
- 13:29Speaker 1: this Christian contract in your heart. You need to settle
- 13:31Speaker 1: this Word of God in your heart. Know that it's secure,
- 13:34Speaker 1: knowing that the Word is reliable, knowing that the Word
- 13:36Speaker 1: is relevant, knowing that the Word satisfies our soul, Knowing
- 13:40Speaker 1: that the Word is powerful, Knowing that the Word is
- 13:44Speaker 1: right now, living, breathing, holy, righteous on time Word. That's
- 13:50Speaker 1: how powerful the Word of God is. When you read
- 13:52Speaker 1: the scriptures, you're reading the mind of God. When you
- 13:55Speaker 1: read the scriptures, you're reading the will of God. When
- 13:58Speaker 1: you read the scriptures, you find the purpose of why
- 14:01Speaker 1: you're here and why I'm here right amazing. There's no
- 14:04Speaker 1: other like it. There's similar things out there that you
- 14:09Speaker 1: could see and that I could see, that I could read,
- 14:11Speaker 1: that you could read. But there is no one like
- 14:14Speaker 1: the Lord that's described in the scriptures. No one like
- 14:18Speaker 1: our God, no one like Jesus, no one like Holy Spirit,
- 14:21Speaker 1: no one like the Father. Yahwegh eloheen else should die, Amen,
- 14:26Speaker 1: all powerful, Almighty One. We have the Word living breathing
- 14:30Speaker 1: inside of every single one of us who called upon
- 14:34Speaker 1: the name of the Lord Jesus to be saved and
- 14:35Speaker 1: we're saved and ore redeemed. We're rescued, we're restored a man,
- 14:40Speaker 1: we're made brand new, we're born again. According to what
- 14:43Speaker 1: Jesus says in John chapter three, Man, well, I see you,
- 14:46Speaker 1: good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning, Devo,
- 14:49Speaker 1: my bro, my friend. So that's where we're at. We
- 14:52Speaker 1: are connected by way of the God's secure word. We
- 14:57Speaker 1: are in contract with the word that promises of God,
- 15:00Speaker 1: which I said earlier. God's word is legally binding in
- 15:04Speaker 1: a supernatural, spiritual realm. Right. So when we declare, when
- 15:09Speaker 1: we read, when we decree, amen, we're standing on Heaven's law,
- 15:14Speaker 1: Heaven's law against the lies of the enemy. And he
- 15:20Speaker 1: hates when people get this. He hates when we come
- 15:23Speaker 1: together to read the word. I'm talking about the enemy.
- 15:26Speaker 1: He hates all of God's creation. He hates his very
- 15:29Speaker 1: own followers, he hates his fallen angels. He has no
- 15:32Speaker 1: love in him, he has no truth in him, he
- 15:35Speaker 1: has no light in him. He only has darkness, lies,
- 15:37Speaker 1: de see angry. He's defeated. He's unholy. So it's incredible
- 15:45Speaker 1: that people continue to believe that there is no enemy
- 15:49Speaker 1: of our soul. When we see his brand of worship
- 15:53Speaker 1: all around the earth, when we see His lies being
- 15:56Speaker 1: spewed all around this earth. When we see killing, murder, adultery,
- 16:00Speaker 1: we see addiction, we see pornography, we see false witnesses
- 16:06Speaker 1: and false teachers and false prophets. We see this all
- 16:09Speaker 1: around us. And yet there's still people saying, Nah, that's
- 16:14Speaker 1: not the enemy. It could be our own evil fleshly
- 16:18Speaker 1: desires that are in the way of what God wants
- 16:21Speaker 1: to do in the lives of so many. That could
- 16:24Speaker 1: be an issue too. And because we know that could
- 16:28Speaker 1: be an issue, we have Holy Spirit to rely on,
- 16:30Speaker 1: We have the Word of God to rely on. We
- 16:32Speaker 1: have a Christian contract that we could rely on. All
- 16:36Speaker 1: we have to do is show up and be a
- 16:38Speaker 1: part of God's plan. All you have to do is
- 16:41Speaker 1: believe in situations that you don't understand, but believe in
- 16:44Speaker 1: the Word of God over those situations that might not
- 16:47Speaker 1: be so pleasurable to go through. At the moment, right,
- 16:52Speaker 1: Manuel says, greater is he that is in us than
- 16:56Speaker 1: he that's in the world. Yeah, And the enemy that's
- 16:59Speaker 1: in this world, that's running this world system is so obvious.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That's not the Lord Jesus running this governmental system, running
- 17:06Speaker 1: this world system. No, it's the enemy, and we are greater.
- 17:11Speaker 1: The greater One lives inside of us than he who
- 17:15Speaker 1: is in the world spirit of the age and the
- 17:19Speaker 1: anti Christ spirit that's running rapidly around this earth. We
- 17:23Speaker 1: have the greater One living inside of us. Right there's
- 17:27Speaker 1: a false, false hope of false a false love of
- 17:31Speaker 1: false grace that's being preached, another gospel that's being preached
- 17:37Speaker 1: all around the earth. But the true, living, holy, righteous,
- 17:41Speaker 1: holy Spirit of God who lives within us, reminds me
- 17:44Speaker 1: of the true way to be, the true path to take,
- 17:47Speaker 1: and the true holy One to follow that gives eternal life,
- 17:51Speaker 1: and the stranger's voice when we hear it, we won't
- 17:53Speaker 1: follow because now we have the discerning One living inside
- 17:56Speaker 1: of us. We have the knowing One living inside of us.
- 17:59Speaker 1: We have the perfection of the Word of God living
- 18:02Speaker 1: inside of us. We have the leader, the comforters, or
- 18:04Speaker 1: the counselor living inside of us. So we don't have
- 18:08Speaker 1: to straight around like sheep without a shepherd. We don't
- 18:11Speaker 1: have to go around the earth running around like we're blinded.
- 18:15Speaker 1: We don't have to roam around the earth acting like
- 18:17Speaker 1: we have no hope you have the greater One living
- 18:20Speaker 1: inside of us. Thank you Manuell for making me preach,
- 18:23Speaker 1: because that's the truth right there. Amen, you are absolutely right.
- 18:29Speaker 1: The word of God is absolutely right. I'm just following suit.
- 18:31Speaker 1: So thank you for your comment. I respect that. So
- 18:36Speaker 1: why scripture is a contract? Well, a contract binds two parties.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Right when you go into a contract with someone, you're
- 18:45Speaker 1: binding two parties. So in prayer, God has already signed
- 18:51Speaker 1: his promises in blood through the Lord Jesus. Christ. Contract
- 18:56Speaker 1: was sealed by the blood of the Lord. Amen. Serious business.
- 19:01Speaker 1: That's a serious demonstration of God's love for us. Amen.
- 19:06Speaker 1: He did not have to The Lord Jesus did not
- 19:09Speaker 1: have to do anything at that point for us, but
- 19:13Speaker 1: to fulfill the scriptures. He humbled himself to become a
- 19:17Speaker 1: man and become a suffering servant for the cause of Christ,
- 19:22Speaker 1: loving us so much that he gave his own life
- 19:26Speaker 1: so that way we could live. He became sin. The
- 19:30Speaker 1: Bible says, the sins of the world war upon the Lord.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yet he himself did not sin, but he did it
- 19:35Speaker 1: for your sake and for my sake. So our contract
- 19:38Speaker 1: binds to parties. The blood of Jesus is what signs
- 19:43Speaker 1: this contract. So when we declare scripture, we're not begging
- 19:49Speaker 1: for God to do what he said he would do.
- 19:52Speaker 1: We are actually claiming what God already has done and
- 19:56Speaker 1: what's already ours. Think about it. If you're begging God, God,
- 20:00Speaker 1: please perform your word in your life, that's a strange
- 20:04Speaker 1: type of prayer because you're saying that God doesn't know
- 20:08Speaker 1: what his word says. No, we're receiving what God has
- 20:12Speaker 1: already done. We're benefiting off the finished work of Jesus.
- 20:18Speaker 1: A man and his blood has signed a deal for
- 20:20Speaker 1: our lives. We're not begging a man. We're claiming what's
- 20:24Speaker 1: already ours according to the scriptures. This is not name
- 20:27Speaker 1: and claimant type of thing. According to the scriptures, if
- 20:30Speaker 1: God said it, and he says he'll give it to us,
- 20:33Speaker 1: we have what God said and we have this Christian contract.
- 20:38Speaker 1: That's why the Psalma says forever, Oh Lord, your word
- 20:42Speaker 1: is settled in heaven, So therefore it's settled in me,
- 20:46Speaker 1: it's settled in you, a man. If God said it,
- 20:49Speaker 1: it's already sealed. If God spoke it, it enforces that
- 20:54Speaker 1: in our lives. Whatever that word in your life is
- 20:58Speaker 1: that you're depending on right now, that you're holding on to.
- 21:01Speaker 1: All the promises of God are for all the children
- 21:04Speaker 1: of God, right, But there's specific promises for specific time,
- 21:08Speaker 1: for specific people in the scripture. If you're honest with
- 21:11Speaker 1: the scriptures, right, Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven, A lot
- 21:15Speaker 1: of our favorite verse, a lot of us. That's our
- 21:18Speaker 1: favorite verse, right, that God and they didn't want to
- 21:21Speaker 1: harm us. He's not going to harm us. He's going
- 21:23Speaker 1: to give us a plan for I'm paraphrasing, but if
- 21:27Speaker 1: you read it and you do your due diligence through
- 21:29Speaker 1: your research, that was for specific person a specific people,
- 21:34Speaker 1: a specific time. God's words ever last time. We just
- 21:37Speaker 1: read that. So go ahead and grab on to those
- 21:40Speaker 1: everlasting promises. But if you want to really be honest
- 21:43Speaker 1: with the scripture, the scriptures, honest with us, you know
- 21:46Speaker 1: and I know that those promises all riddled through the scriptures, Amen,
- 21:50Speaker 1: specifically for people that God was making that promise too.
- 21:54Speaker 1: But since we inherit what God has done, Amen, since
- 21:57Speaker 1: we inherit the promises, since we're in the family of
- 22:00Speaker 1: God by way of Holy Spirit, by way of what
- 22:04Speaker 1: Jesus did, we're adopted into the family of God, that
- 22:08Speaker 1: we can hold on to those promises as well. Accordingly, Amen,
- 22:12Speaker 1: and God will show us how to do that. Amen.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I can't explain it right now, it's too early in
- 22:18Speaker 1: the morning. And also it's not a lot of the
- 22:20Speaker 1: time that I have left. But the Jonathan, God bless you, bro.
- 22:23Speaker 1: It's good to see you in the morning. Devo. Amen,
- 22:26Speaker 1: good morning, and God bless you as well, my bro.
- 22:29Speaker 1: So listen the word you scripture as a contract. Why,
- 22:35Speaker 1: because where Jesus signed with his blood is worth honoring.
- 22:42Speaker 1: The contract that God made with men is honorable. Amen.
- 22:46Speaker 1: If God said it, it's already done. If God spoke it,
- 22:50Speaker 1: it's already in our lives, and it's a force, and
- 22:53Speaker 1: it's secure forever forever. The word of God is settled
- 22:58Speaker 1: in heaven. Right. The word is also our legal authority.
- 23:03Speaker 1: I know we have the laws of the United States
- 23:05Speaker 1: of America or the laws of your land that wherever
- 23:07Speaker 1: you're listening or watching from this law is setting place,
- 23:11Speaker 1: and we need to honor those laws. We're not supposed
- 23:13Speaker 1: to be breakers of the law, both God's law and
- 23:16Speaker 1: man's law. But we know that the greater law is
- 23:20Speaker 1: the Word of God, His law right, his love, his grace,
- 23:23Speaker 1: his mercy. Satan. The devil will try to intimidate you
- 23:29Speaker 1: with weakness, fear or lies, try to steal you off
- 23:33Speaker 1: course and say, you know what, I don't think this
- 23:36Speaker 1: is going to be for me. I'm going to check out.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I don't think I could do this Christian thing. I
- 23:41Speaker 1: want to rip up the Christian contract. Don't believe the
- 23:44Speaker 1: devil's lies.
- 23:46Speaker 2: You fight not with emotion, you fight not with the word,
- 23:50Speaker 2: but you fight knowing that you have evidence of God's
- 23:53Speaker 2: word right in your life.
- 23:57Speaker 1: That's why when the Lord Jesus was tempted by the devil.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Remember when John the Baptists said, listen, why am I baptizing?
- 24:04Speaker 1: You should be baptizing me. But Jess said, go ahead
- 24:06Speaker 1: and do it, so that way the prophecy will be fulfilled.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Voice in heaven right was heard, was the Father telling
- 24:13Speaker 1: the people, this is my beloved son who I'm so
- 24:16Speaker 1: pleased with. Following him. You know I'm paraphrasing, but you
- 24:20Speaker 1: gotta read the scripture in Matthew chapter four, follow him
- 24:24Speaker 1: on Matthew chapter three, follow him and do what he says.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And then Holy Spirit came down in the form of
- 24:31Speaker 1: a dove. Right, seemed like a dove, and it came
- 24:34Speaker 1: upon Jesus, and boom. Jesus is being tempted by the devil.
- 24:38Speaker 1: He's on a forty day fast, his body's weak. Amen.
- 24:42Speaker 1: So the enemy comes. And Jesus himself use the word
- 24:46Speaker 1: as the legal contract when he was in the wilderness
- 24:50Speaker 1: being tempted by the devil, because he was saying it
- 24:53Speaker 1: is written. In other words, he was telling the devil,
- 24:56Speaker 1: it is settled already, it's secure, already, it's signed and
- 24:59Speaker 1: seal the ready. You cannot tempt a god who is
- 25:05Speaker 1: the living God, the living word. Amen. So the enemy
- 25:08Speaker 1: had to leave because in Jesus' physically weakest time, physically,
- 25:14Speaker 1: the enemy still could not get Jesus to believe in
- 25:18Speaker 1: his lives. So therefore the enemy had to go. And
- 25:22Speaker 1: the enemy will leave us too if we are settled
- 25:24Speaker 1: in this, if we know for sure that we have
- 25:28Speaker 1: this contract with the Lord. The enemy has to go,
- 25:31Speaker 1: but he will return at a more opportune time. The
- 25:35Speaker 1: scripture says, that's what the enemy did with Jesus, so
- 25:38Speaker 1: he's gonna do that with us. He's gonna return an
- 25:41Speaker 1: opportune time. But be ready for his attack. Be ready
- 25:44Speaker 1: for his lives, and remind him that we are in
- 25:46Speaker 1: a contract with the Lord, signed and sealed by the
- 25:50Speaker 1: blood of Jesus and by Holy Spirit. And watch what
- 25:52Speaker 1: the enemy to do. He'll leave again. Submit to God right,
- 25:55Speaker 1: resist the devil, and the devil will flee. So I'm
- 25:57Speaker 1: out of time. Manuel says. The weapons of our warfare
- 26:01Speaker 1: are not carnal, but mighty through God. The pulling down
- 26:04Speaker 1: the strongholds. Yes, absolutely, we're fighting out against flesh and blood,
- 26:08Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, we're finding spiritual principalities. John Crosby says,
- 26:13Speaker 1: have a wonderful and blessed day, my brother, my friend. Yes,
- 26:17Speaker 1: have a good day too. Man, thank you so much
- 26:19Speaker 1: for being here. So God bless you all. Go into
- 26:22Speaker 1: the Psalms. Read Psalm one hundred and nineteen. Is a
- 26:26Speaker 1: long chapter, amen, but I believe it'll be worth your time.
- 26:29Speaker 1: We hung out in verses eighty nine and ninety, but
- 26:32Speaker 1: get ahead. If you want to see all of it
- 26:34Speaker 1: in context, read someone nineteen today. Amen, you will be
- 26:37Speaker 1: blessed for it. So God bless you all. Got to
- 26:40Speaker 1: keep you all and remember always that God is good. Peace,
