  Speaker 1: d dot org streaming on social media platforms that a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: lot of streaming go through. Also on a YouTube page
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and also on x formerly known as Twitter at Matters
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a man with they are too streaming live so welcome.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, so we're gonna switch gears. Amen. This is
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this authentic imitationology where we try to imitate the most
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: successful person who has ever lived on this planet Earth,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ himself. This is episode one two,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two times we got together on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a Friday on this mission to authentically follow Jesus. Amen,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to try to imitate the Lord. The Bible says, imitate God.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Paul said, follow me as a follow Christ. The apostle
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: said that a matter. I think it was Paul, And
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: basically the whole idea is to look at the Lord's life, Amen,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and imitate what he did, what he's doing, what he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: continues to do, what his word says. Amen. So we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: had the mindset of being that way as believers in Christ,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: right as brothers and sisters and as children of the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Most High God. So we're here, man, it's Friday, so
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: let's get into it today. Interesting topic. God and man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: There's a problem having you notice that there's a problem
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in our culture. Not a problem with God. God has
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: no problems, right, God is perfect. But man. Through our
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: history people have tried Mankind has tried to close the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: gap between themselves and God through different ways. For instance, religion.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And we know there's how many religions out there, lots
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of religions. Religion is performing rituals or following laws. Tell
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: me how that works out. Amen. When I see religious
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: people doing religious things, they don't look happy. Now, on
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the other end of that, there's cults that look very
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: happy doing what they're doing religiously, Amen, because they're kind
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of like swept away by the idea of what they're
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: doing for society, for the community. Amen. So religion doesn't
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: cut it. Morality trying to be good enough? How good
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: do you have to be to gain favor or to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: gain access to the Kingdom of God, or to gain
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: favor with God or the deity that you serve? How
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: good do you have to be? And how about if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you are on a string of doing good. It's like
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the wild card playoffs, Right, you could do good and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: then you get into the playoffs. You can do good
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all season, right, Yankees? You could do good all season,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: then when you get to the big game, a man,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you lose. So how much do you have to win
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: before you lose? How good do you have to be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: before you do something bad? Morality doesn't close the gap
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: between God and man. How about this philosophy? Lovers of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: knowledge searching for truth apart from God? That right there,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I think that's where a lot of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: us are. A lot of us were, at least I'm
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: born again. Hopefully you're born again. But weren't we searching
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for truth outside from God? That's philosophy and materialism huge,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: especially in the entertainment industry, which is actually going down
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: with AI and saraw too and all this other stuff
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: coming out. I don't know how actors, singers, musicians, rappers,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how that industry is going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to last. But anyway, materialism filling the void with possessions
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: or pleasure of these work. Obviously, because sin creates uncrossable
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: golf and uncrossable golf that only God can bridge. Proverbs
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: fourteen twelve is where we're going to land today, Amen,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: as we look today on the morning DEVO. So if
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, or anything
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a live chat. That's what we're here for. That's what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we do here at so Winners Inc. Celebrated Network. Amen.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So we are here for each other, Amen, So don't
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hesitate to leave a comment, question, concern, prayer request if
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you're listening from the radio station online Celebrated Network. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: apps are available on for your Android device or for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your iOS device, for your Apple device. Amen. Just go
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to the stores that your device have, Amen, and go
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and search for Sellout Radio Network. Amen, and you'll see
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the apps there. It's kind of cool app, hey man.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And we're developing more things for it. But it's out
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: there live now. So if you want that. I know
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are into apps rather than going
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to websites. Aymen, So we got you covered there. Proverbs
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fourteen twelve. Let's pray. After we pray, we'll shut us
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: out for like sixteen sixty I was gonna say, sixteen seconds.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Sixty seconds, Man, sixteen seconds would be like im blingham
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: an I We're gonna shut us out for sixty seconds,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and then on the other side of those sixty seconds,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get into Proverbs chapter fourteen,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: verse number twelve. Let's pray, Father, thank you so much.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for this time right now, for this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: space right now, thank you for the opportunity to really
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: see your word for what it really is through the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: eyes and lens of your spirit, holy spirit that lives
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: within every single one of your children. Lord God, I pray,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Lod God, I hedge your protection surround us with your
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: arkween angels, that there will be no weapon that will
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: be forced against us by the enemy. That we'll be
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: able to withstand the protection or would be able to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: break down the wall of protection that you create around us,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because you love us and the Angel of the Lord
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and camps around those who love you according to your word.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Our pray, Lord God, that you will continue to inspire us,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to motivate us and move us forward in victorious ways.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That Lord Guy, that you will get the glory, that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you will get the honor of worship and praise at
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: least from this side of things, and hopefully everyone on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the other side of the screen, on the other side
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of this might will receive a revelation and will give
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you praise for it, Lord Jesus. Our pray, Lord God,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that you will continue to show us and teach us
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that there is a divide, that there is a gap,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: uncrossable gap between God and man. Until you did what
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you did so many years on that cross on cavalry,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that you really close the gap. The bridge is now
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: made between God and man because of your sacrifice, your blood,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: your love, your mercy, your grace. So I thank you,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Lord God and forever in debt for what you have done,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and so many people will give you the same honor
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and praise for that what you have done. I pray
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this so for myself, my wife, our children, our grandchildren,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: our family, both sides of the family, from the very
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: youngest family member to the very oldest, and every single
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: person in between. I pray that over every single family
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that's watching on the other side of the screen and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: on the other side of this mic as well. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: thank you, Lord God for today, thank you for right now.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I give you honor, worship, and my praise every day,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: every single day, including today, and Jesus Holy Name. We
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: pray this by faith, and those who agree with this
• 7:37

• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to see you, my sister and my friend. Let's take time,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: sixty seconds, help me share this out. When we come back,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's proverb, Chapter fourteen, verse number twelve.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Every right back, Amen, Amen. So many groups a little time, Amen.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm honored and thank you so much for all
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the groups out there that allow this morning Devo to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be shared on your pages. I'm grateful for that and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm humble about that. So listen, visit the website. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: when is with a Z dot org Forwards says donate.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Don't be afraid. There's not gonna be no auto button
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna oppress. And you get to give to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the ministry right off the bat. Amen. No credit card
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: required or nothing like that. I just I want you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to see the vision of the ministry is right there
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on that page. Amen, Pray about it. Ask God what
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you would do concerning supporting the Ministry of Soul Winners, inc. Amen,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and then we'll take it from there. But thank you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: so much for visiting, Amen and giving that page of viewing. Amen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And if you're tech savvy, you could have that thing
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: read itself. So that way, if you don't want to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: read the whole thing, you could literally have it read itself.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: If you're tech savvy, you know the code to put
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that through your phone or your device. Amen. So let's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: go for it. Let's go to scripture for today. Amen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: In the Book of Proverbs, when we're talking about God
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and man, the bridge between God and man. That religion,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, materialism, religion, morality, all those things
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't close the gap between God and man. Those things
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are tools a man. Those things could be used a religion,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: morality philosophy and materialism could be used to better yourself. Right,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: we could make things better, but they're not the end all,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: be all, and all way to get to God. Amen.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the scripture before I start going in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a different direction. Amen, something that's popped in my mind.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But let's go to the scripture. Be obedient to the scriptures, right, Amen,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: because otherwise I'll just be doing commentary, and that's not
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what we're here for. My opinion, We're not here from
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: my opinion, God and Man. Proverbs fourteen twelve says, there
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is a way which seems right to a man and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: appears straight before him, but it's end is the way
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of death. Repeat, there is a way which seems right
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to a man, and of course here it's not only men,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: women are included. Mankind appears straight before him, but its
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: end is the way of death. So that therefore, sometimes
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we do things and it seems right right seeing it
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: appears right, looks like it's the right path, looks like
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the right way. But the end of that outside of God,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: outside of Christ, outside of Holy Spirit, outside of the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Community of Christ, outside of the body of Christ, the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: end is the way of death. And because the world
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: dresses is up, dresses itself up. Soul fancy makes everything
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: look pretty, makes sin glamorous, makes death glamorous. Halloween is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a perfect example of that. How Halloween is a worship
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: unto the God of the dead, and the world system
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: creates this family atmosphere around Halloween, which is actually a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: demonic holiday. Amen. If you don't want to, if you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: don't want to believe that about it, Amen, you do
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: your research. But the world has a way of sin
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: are real good And we know sin is not good.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: We know sin separates us from a holy, righteous, loving God.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We know that sin only pleases the flesh of mankind,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't please the spirit of God. As a matter of fact,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the Bible says the sin of the flesh is enemies
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to the spirit of God. Wow. So that means God
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: didn't come to save our flesh. He came to save
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: our soul. Jesus saved our soul. He's the ultimate soul winner. Amen.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: His record is no losses, all wins, Amen, And Jesus
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate soul winner. But listen, and that's only
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: by choice. Jesus chose to lay his life down for us,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and we choose whether or not we serve the Lord
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: or not. I believe that no one is with an
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: excuse accornitive scripture. People see Creation can be in the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: remote island of wherever part of the world, and no evangelist,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: no preacher has ever witnessed to you, or you've never
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: heard about the Lord Jesus. But when you look at creation,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you wonder. Right, people wants to be wondering how did
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that happen? Who did this? Amen? So that means in
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the hearts of every single person on his home tire planet,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: there was no excuse for us not to seek after
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the God of Creation. And even if you don't know
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the Lord's name, if you're in a remote island, you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: don't know the name of Jesus, just Shiahamashiek Right, Yeahua,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you don't know his name, that's the right. He knows
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: who he is. And if you call out to him,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he knows who you're calling on, like the Lord Jesus is.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: That's right, he's a soul Win of Francelia. Yes, so
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. Let me get to my notes. I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to share this because I think this is really interesting.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: The lemma between man and God, well God and man.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: So we're already read that. Throughout history, people have tried
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to close the gap between themselves and God through man
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: made effort, and it doesn't work. None of these things
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that I've read about work. But I told you about work. Religion, morality,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and philosophy and materialism. Religion is a hot topic. Our
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Muslim friends that I've met, they told me that their
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: religion is the best religion in the world. And I've
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: met some very open hearted, nice, gentle spirited Muslim families, Amen,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: beautiful people. But their religion, they say, is the best
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: religion in the world. Right, But then when you go
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: into the religion itself by way of their holy scriptures,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: their scriptures, the Koran and the Hadith and all that,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you find out that the writers of those religions not
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: only Muslim, but Buddhism, Christianity as a religion, and all
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: these other in between, Mormonism, Joy of a Witness, Bahai,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: all these faith systems. Right, you start reading up about it,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you start reading their laws and regulations, You'll be like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that's not attainable. Nobody could do that, right, even the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Law of Moses, the tank commandments, right, the Bible says
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: no one can live by those standards, we all fall
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: short of the glorious standards of God. Only Jesus himself.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You take every religion in the whole entire universe, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you're get to find that only Jesus himself completed the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: laws and the prophet of his day and of all eternity.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He's the perfect sinless man that lived on his planet. Anyway,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: none of these things work because sin right, sin creates
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: an uncrossable gulf that only God can bridge. So good
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: deeds can erase sin. Good deeds cannot erase sin. If
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: they could, then that means we will be tick for
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: tac I sin. So let me do a good deed
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to erase that sin. I do something wrong, Let me
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: do a good deed to make that wrong right. You
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: know I broke the law. Let me do a good deed. Amen,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So that way I won't get penalized for breaking that law.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: That's not the way it works. As a matter of fact,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: if anybody has the time to live that way, let
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: me know, text me comment, or do something, because that's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: not the way a person could live. There's not enough
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: time for us to be trying to wipe away sins
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: by doing good deeds. That'll be a back and forth
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: hamster wheel for sure. Amen. That doesn't work. Since a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: joy says, by nature, we know there is our God. Yes, Amen,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we know it. We see it in creation. Open your eyes.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Look around. Someone created, but we see in the stars,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the heavens, the earth, the clouds. Listen. I was gonna
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I was going to use some manipulative I'll admit it,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: manipulas verbiage on a post the other day. Yesterday. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna put, hey, I'm gonna release some dirt about myself, right,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, dm me for the dirt
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: on me. And then when people would DM me, I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: don't know why I was thinking about this, I would say, yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I was made from it. Get it. So listen, I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: can't do things on my own and my own strength
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to gain favor with God because He created us from dirt. Amen.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: So if you want the dirt on brother Sam, Amen,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: this is it. I was made from it. God created
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: us from the dirt of the earth. Amen. So therefore
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: we need to stay humble and know that God is
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the only way that we can bridge this gap between
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: us and Him. And he satisfied the sin debt. He
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: paid for it all, Amen, through the sacrifice of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. So good deeds, can't I raise sin?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Only a perfect, sinless sacrifice could remove the barrier between
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: God and humanity. I'm gonna say that again, only a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: perfect You ever heard that saying practice makes perfect, I'm
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: starting to rethink that. I'm starting to think that only
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: perfect practice makes perfect. And the only one that perfectly
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: practiced was the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen, his sinless sacrifice
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: removed the barrier between God and humanity. The solution has
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: always been the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who bridged
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the gap between God and man. So we know that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: In Romans five to eight, it says, but God demonstrates
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: his own love. Please don't miss that word own his
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: own love. It doesn't say God demonstrated love. It says
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: God demonstrates his own love for us in this while
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: we were still sinners, Christ died for us Romans five eight. God,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in his mercy, didn't leave us out their loss. Busted
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and disgusted, he made a way through his son, the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Sister Joanne says, I asked used
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to pray for my husband. He's not feeling too good
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: as of me. I am so stressed out. My anxiety
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is acting up so bad. I have talked to one
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of the sisters last night. I thank the Lord for
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: her being in contact with me. I have too much
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: on myself being taken care of all of them and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: my sister. But little little Lord is so good with me. Amen,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he is, sister. He gives me the strength, and I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: thank the Lord for that. Every morning he gives me
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a date to wake up. Amen. Amen. So during the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: stress and during the time of anxiety, Amen, you're giving
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: God praise. You're already on the right path path, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: people will see that and be like, Wow, my sister's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: going through a lot, but she still holds on to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the one who closed the gap between God and man.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: So we'll continue to pray for you. Prayer works, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: God is being so graceful and merciful with us, isn't
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: he that even though we go through things. The other day,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I was so I don't know what happened. My body
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was being attacked by some sickness or whatever a man,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and all through the sickness or the attack, I just
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: kept on mentioning the name of the Lord. Amen, Because
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I know he's the only one that could truly make
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: me hold again and truly return health back to my body.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you Lord Jesus. Man well, I see you, good morning.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It's good to see you on the morning devo with
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: my friend and my bro. So we know that nothing
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that we could create or that we could think of,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: no self help book, nothing like that. No methodology, no
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: system of religion, or system of good deeds or organizations
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: can bridge the gap between God and man. Jesus took
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: care of the sin that he took care of the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: problem of sin. Amen. Now what are we going to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: do about it? We just need to show up, Amen,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and we'll reap the benefits of the finished work of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ on that cross, and not only the finished work,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: but now the applied work that he's doing in your
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: life and in my life as we move forward in
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: this time that we're living in. Amen. That is right,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: my sister, we overcome by the testimonies of our mouth.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you man Well for encouraging sister Joan. So the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: separation that sin caused was bridged by the blood of Jesus.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: It's the gospel. Amen. We've been talking about the Gospel
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: message all this week. Right through faith in Him, what happens.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: We are forgiven. Right through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: We're restored and we're brought near to God, the nearness
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of God. Amen. It's a mystery right to us as mankind,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as humans. Where is God when this and that happen? Amen?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Or a lot of people say I feel the Holy Spirit,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: whatever that means, and a lot of people say I
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: don't feel God whatever that means. Right. So we have emotions,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: we're emotional beings. Amen. But there's the difference between the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: facts and the truth. In other words, the fact is, Man,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you might not be in a good place with the Lord,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you might not be feeling him. But the truth is,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: if you're born again, he lives within you. Amen. So
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: there's a difference between how we feel and the truth.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Is the difference between facts, what we see in the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: temporal and the truth of eternity. Right. We're only here
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: for a short time. It's like the Bible says, we're
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like a vapor, you know, like a like a breath.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We're here today and gone tomorrow. Amen, Here today and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: going tomorrow. Manuel says, praise refuses the enemy. Yes, because
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: he'd like, He's like, I threw everything at that person
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and they're still praising God. He's going to be like,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else to do. And we're gonna
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: be like, well, we're submitting to God, we're resisting you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go. We're gonna tell to them
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: away I has to do. He's gonna have to run
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: up out of here. Manuel says, it's what we speak
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: when going through life challenges. Yes, very important, what we
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: speak when we're going through life challenges. Thank you, But
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the Manuel for that. I'm running out of time here,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: so let me get to one more point. In Ephesians
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: chapter two, verse thirteen, the Bible says, but now in
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Christ Jesus, who once we're far away. But now in
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Christ Jesus, you who once were far away, had been
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I brought near by the blood of Christ. Amen. So
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: there was a huge divide, because I will wackness and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: sin right and God God is holy, and we were sinful.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But Jesus Amen provided away and total access to the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Lord by way of his sacrifice on that cross. There's
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a lot more here, not enough time, Amen. Listen. Go
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to Proverbs chapter fourteen, verse number twelve. Look at that,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: then read the whole chapter to get the context. And
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: this question about God and man and how we could
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: breach the gap is an eternal question, Amen, But it
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: has an eternal answer, and it's only one way, one truth,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and one life. And that's the Lord Jesus Christ. Think
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: about it real clearly. Amen. So I'm out of time.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I hope you have a wonderful weekend. God bless you all.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out with me for
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: these morning DeVos. God bless you all. God keep you all,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace.
