• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we're streaming on all the social media platforms that allow
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: us to stream this man, so especially on my YouTube page,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: which is simply called Dj sam Rock. That's the name
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the YouTube page.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And we're on. We're on. Thank you Jesus. I see
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: your sister Joanne. Good morning, God, blessed you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Devo, my sister, my friends,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: so good to see you today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So here it is. Man.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people ask this question. We
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: deal with this a lot, especially with people who don't
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: have an understanding of who Christ is in our lives as.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Born again believers.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So they always come up with some kind of statement
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: when we approach them about anything, hey, man, even if
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's just to say, hey, how you doing, And they
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: know they're in some kind of sin or they're in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: some kind of way that's opposed from the Gospel message,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and they always say, only God coul judge me.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You can't judge me.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So the question is how are we to judge the unsaved,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the people who are outside of the kingdom?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Amen? You ever thought about that?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So what are we supposed to do? Just like say
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: nothing and just go along with everything that everybody else
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is doing, or just accept everyone's sin, or you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: just take no stance, take no position, or ask the question,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: how are we to judge the unsaved?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Amen? So in my notes I wrote this, when judging
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: those who are unsaved, that means they're not born again,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: They don't receive the gospel message, they reject the Lord
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Right, they're in the world and they're doing their thing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's the unsaved I'm talking about. So when judging those
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: who are unsaved, remember that our role. Our role is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: not to judge their behavior, but to share the love
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and truth of the gospel. Share the Gospel with them.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You might be saying, well, okay, so it seems like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we're not supposed to judge. Well you're onto something then, Amen,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the unsaved. We'll talk about
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the saved and another time a man, how we're supposed
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to judge to save people? Amen, born again people like us,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but the unsaved. Second Corinthians, Chapter six verses fourteen to seventeen.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Second Corinthians, Chapter six, verses fourteen to seventeen.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And it's right there, man.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, please don't hesitate to leave it live on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the live chat. And also if you're listening from sou
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Winners with a za Org to Celebrato Network, thank you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: so much for listening. Amen, just keep on listening because
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: we've got a good one today, at least in my opinion, right,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: how are we to judge the unsaved? It's an amazing question,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a man, but God gives us a great, truthful, amazing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: answer a message, Joye, I see you. Good morning, God,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: bless you and your group in Jesus name. Thank you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for your blessings. Are really ungrateful that you come and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: bless us with your presence and bless us with your words.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming through, sister Joye. So listen,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: let's go for it. We're gonna pray first. After we pray,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we shut us out for like sixty seconds, and then
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: when we come back we'll get right into tackling this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: question about how are we as believers to judge the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: unsaved unbelievers. Father, I thank you, Lord God that we're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: born again, We're saved, We're rescued by the power of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: your love, your grace, and your mercy, your Holy Spirit.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you for praying people who prayed for the unsaved,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: who prayed for me when I wasn't saved, Because that's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the only explanation I could find, Amen, that I got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: into a position of calling out Jesus, calling on God,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: calling on God because someone was praying for me. I pray,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Lord God, as somebody right now who is not born again,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: who is not saved, will get a revelation today of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what salvation means, what salvation is, who are the saved,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and what is in it for them? Ultimately, people want
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to know what's in it for them. I pray, Lo God,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that you do all of that according to your scripture,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a callding to your word, and teach us, as brothers
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and sisters and the Lord, as children of God, how
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to navigate this question of how we are supposed to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: judge the unsaved. So I pray peace, I pray protection.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I thank you, Lo, God, for your health, your strength,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and your protection over my friends, over my family members,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: over myself, my wife, our children, our grandchildren, and every
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: single person in between. I thank you, Lord God, that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you allow us to see another day, and that you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: give us eyes to see and ears to listen, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a mouth to speak your promises, your word and miraculous message,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: which is the Gospel. So I speak life, and I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: thank you, Lord God for the ability to dispatch arkreen
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: angels to minister and to annihilate the tactics of the enemy,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and to minister to our needs by your authority. In
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the name of the Holy God, Jesus, King of Kings
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and Lord of Lords. I pray it's by faith, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: all those who agree with this prayer we say Amen
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to the amen. So give us sixty seconds. Amen, I'm
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gonna share this out. Hopefully you share this out with me.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And when we come back, we'll get right into today's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: morning devil. I'll be right back. Amen, We're back. We're back.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Let's go for Let's see what the Word of God
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: has for us today. A man.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Remember, the Word of God is alive, active, relevant, true,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: all the time, never loses its power, never loses its relevance.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Amazing the Word of God. Amen, tap in him, Get
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: into that.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Word, Get into the word, to allow the word to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: get into us so that we could speak it out.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Because the Bible says, out of the abundance of the heart,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the mouth speaks. So whatever you have inside is going
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to come out eventually. So hopefully it's the word of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: God that will eventually come out of your mouth. The
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: best thing you could ever say to a person is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the truth is the Word of God is the promises
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to God. You could pray the word of God over yourself,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: over your situation and over others.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Just before we become those people who are just super
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: religious and all we do is judge, right, just like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we're accused of doing. The funny thing about people saying
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that you Christians are judgmental, that's the judgment. When people
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: say that to me or say that to you, they're
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: actually judging. So it's an amazing thing. So we need
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to navigate this carefully according to how the scriptures wants
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: us to navigate it, according to how God wants us
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to navigate this question. So let's get it on the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: screen for those who are just listening, no worries. You're
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna see the image, of course, but we're gonna
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: read a word for word as we see it on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the screen.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So let's go forward. How are we to judge the unsaved?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: A loaded question for morning devo.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But God has us covered Second Corinth Things Chatting number six,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: verses fourteen to seventeen. The Bible says, do not be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: unequally yoked together with unbelievers. That's number one, right, But
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Biba and the Old Covenant says blessed is the one
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: who does not travel, who does not join.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Up with the wicked.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So this scripture in a New Testament kind of like
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: echoes that do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: This is a question.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. And what communion has light with darkness?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Another good question?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And what accord has Christ with belau which is another God?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Another good question? Or what part has a believer with
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: an unbeliever? Great question?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And what agreement has the Temple of God with idols?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: For you are the temple. You are the temple of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the Living God. As God has said, I will dwell
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in them and walk among them. I will be their God,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and they shall be shall be my people. Therefore, come
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So instead of going inside these wicked places, instead of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: hanging out with the lawlessness, with the lawless ones, instead
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of trying to shine your light in darkness, or try
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to make them blend light and darkness, instead of you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: thinking that everywhere and every path goes to God. Instead
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of that, you might want to think this out. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: what part has a believer with an unbeliever think about it?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: These are questions from God's word. I think they deserve
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a look at. I think they deserve thought process. Right,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: we're not oblivious to the things of this world. Right,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we are in this world. We're not of this world.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Brother Frank, I see you. Good morning. God bless you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and your family as well, and everybody on the deval
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this morning. Thank you for your blessing over the group.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Are broke and my friend. So let me get to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: my notes real quick, because I might I know I'm
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: already in trouble with people because I'm making too many statements.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: They member, we read the words, so the word is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: gonna back up on what was said. But let me
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: get to the notes. Before I messed this all up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to judging those who are unsaved,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about, people who reject the gospel,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: who are still in darkness, who are still under that Basically,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that's what the Bible says. If you're not born again,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you're not saved. You're under the wrath of God still,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and that's not a good place to be, right Ooh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I do, Okay, there you go. Let's think about this clearly.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Hey man, let me get my mind screened back up,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: so I get my timer. I got a couple more
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: minutes here. The Bible is not taught telling us to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: judge people's behaviors. That's number one. Surprised, right A, Why
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: do people act like that? You ever ask that question?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I've asked that question, but I kind of realize that's right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They're not saved, so I think that's the way it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to act, because then I start remembering how I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: was acting before I got saved. So that's number one.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to judge people's behaviors based on them
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: not being saved. That's what I'm saying.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: People do they are actually bound to sin like they're
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: bondage to sin. So what do we do do we
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: go along with them? We just read them.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: We're not supposed to be going along with the lawless
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: people righteousness. What does light and darkness have in common?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So we obviously is going to be a separation, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: we don't have to be the ones that do this separation.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: God's word is separating us, and he's using his word.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: He's using his spirit that lives inside of means that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: lives inside of you to make the difference.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Men.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But we still have a responsibility as believers. Remember the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: role of a believer is not to judge their behavior,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but to share the love and truth of the Gospel.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: What do you think a person who's unsafe think about
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: when you were not saved? What were you looking for?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Some people were looking for truth, Some people were looking
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: for love, Some people were looking for acceptance, right. Some
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: people were looking for you know, value, purpose, Right? So
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't the unsafe be looking for the same thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: They're just approaching things differently than we would as a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: born again believer. Now we have the mind of Christ,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the heart of God. Right, we think differently, we move differently,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: or at least we should be once you see a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: brother or sister in Christ going along with the same old,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: same o of this world system, pray Amen, and let
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: me tell you this.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: If you call yourself.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: A believer, call yourself a Christian, if you call yourself
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a follower of Jesus, be approachable. If I'm doing something crazy,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: if you love me, please approach me and say, Sam,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but yeah, you're bugging out right now. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't know why you're going that way. I don't know
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: why you're doing what you're doing. Amen, But let's talk
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: about it. That's out of love, right, truth and love.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So the Bible is gonna remind us over and over again,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: right that those who do not have Christ are living
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in spiritual darkness. That's something that information that we have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: is not to point a finger at the person who's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in spiritual darkness and judge them.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: They say, God's gonna judge you. You better turn or
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: burn or whatever.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Those messages that I've seen people preach in the streets
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and on soapboxes and churches, I have yet this is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: my experience. You probably saw it, but I have yet
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to see someone fall to the feet of the Lord
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: by someone being.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Judged and telling them they're going to help. I haven't
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: seen it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe you've seen it that I have is I don't
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: know how that how effective that would be? Right if
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I get on every morning Devo and send everybody to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a hell or to a place that I didn't even make,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and what's actually not even creative for humans? Good morning, God,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: bless you as well do with Prince Kashi. Thank you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: so much for coming to the morning Devo. Jesus himself
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: The Lord himself did not come to condemn. You see
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that in John chapter three, verse number seventeen, John three sixteen,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: very popular. What about seventeen? Keep on reading and you'll
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: see that the Lord didn't come to judge the world,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but he came to save the world. That's a great
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: clue for us as believers. We're not coming to judge everybody.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We're coming actually to share the salvation message of the Savior,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: our Savior, a man by the Gospel message, through the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Gospel message. Think about it. Powerful Christ doesn't want us
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to live in spiritual darkness. He wants us to know
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and share the need of salvation. It's not about behavior modification. Oh,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you need to behave differently.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that comes alone with being born again, because now
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you're being becoming a new creation.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You are a new create when you're born again, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the patterns of this world that used to follow before
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you were born again are no longer the pattern you're
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: following anymore. Right, So our focus should be presenting the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: message of salvation as a gift rather than a list
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of rules or a behavior change program. A behavior change
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: program is something else, like, we're not talking about behavior
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: changing methods or whatever. I can't argue into I cannot
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: argue you into the faith. I can't argue you into
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God. Can't do it, not even my responsibility.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I can't convince nobody that Jesus God, I can't convince
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: anybody that this gospel is the truth. That's the work
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit God. So instead of pointing fingers and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: judging the unsaved, Amen, I'm talking about people who are
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: not born again, we're not supposed to judge them.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus then at judged, come to judge the world, condemn
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the world. But it came to save the world. So
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to be doing what Jesus did right. First Corinthians,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: chapter five, verses nine to thirteen. I'll just cite the scripture.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: You could check it out for yourself. We're not giving
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: out a list of rules. You shouldn't be doing that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And then that's where arguments happen. I see it all
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the time where people talk about the commandments right, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the unsafe person was like, well, if I'm breaking the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: law and if I'm in sin, what about shellfish?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Are you supposed to eat shellfish? And they go through
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a whole list of old covenant commandments. That's why this
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: is not about a book of laws and rules, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: it's not about pointing a finger to people's sin. It's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: about sharing the love, truth, and grace and gift of
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: God by way of his gospel. Excuse me, so, as
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: believers were called to be ambassadors, ambassadors of Christ, we
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: have the right message.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Amen, how are we sharing it? Sharing the good news
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of His grace and love. I'm going to cite another
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: scripture tewod Corinthians, chapter five, verse number twenty. So our
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: role is to point others to Jesus, not to appoint
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: others to a stop sign and say stop or else
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go to Hell, they're gonna be like. First
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of all, a lot of people don't even believe in Hell.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Second of all, they don't know why they're stopping and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: salvation to an unsafe person, you need to explain that
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: whether they saved from a quick answer to that question
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is they're going to be saved from the wrath of God.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: In other words, they're being saved from the coming wrath
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that comes upon every single person who rejects the Lord.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: That should be concerning to them. A lot of people
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: are not even concerned about it. They're in a place
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: where they don't believe, so they're not concerned with anything
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: about the Gospel. I used to be that person. You
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: might be saying, Nah, you're lying. I used to be
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that person. I had a care. I didn't have a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: care in the world about New Gospel because I always
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: thought that was for somebody else. And I always thought
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus died for the people in the church. That's the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: way I thought when you know, I was coming up.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So we have this message, we have the Gospel, we
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: have the truth. We have the role to play to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: point others to Jesus, who is the only one who
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: can transform hearts and lies. We should be approaching others
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: with the Gospel and love right compassion, understanding their story,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: listening to their story, knowing that their true need is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: our salvation.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Christ is a savior. Lord is a relationship with Him
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Romans two four. So many notes I wrote here, So ultimately.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Is God who judges, And people say, only God could
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: judge me, and they're right, and he will, So pointing
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: their fingers to the obvious, especially everything that's happening right
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: now in our country and our.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: World, sin is present. Sin is pleasurable for a season.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, so unsaved people are going to do
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: unsaved things. They're going to behave differently, So me or
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you pointing at their behavior is not the solution.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Some people actually know that they're going in the wrong direction,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and they're boasting about it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: In the rap world right and rap music, a lot
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: of rappers boast about their sin, and they even acknowledge
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: that they're sinning against Jesus, and they put Jesus in
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: their rhymes as a way of mockery. So pointing at that,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: they they'll be like, yes, said it, because they don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: fear the wrath of God. They don't understand the wrath
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: of God. They don't understand Salvaga. But I bet you
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: they're curious of who's going to go and love them,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Who's going to go and share the gospel with them,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: who is gonna listen to their story, Who's going to
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: care enough to point them to the Lord Jesus. If
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: they don't get that in their life, they're going to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: keep it moving. I know if I didn't get the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: gospel of my life, I was going to keep it
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: moving as well. But people came, Thank you Lord, they
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: sent people. He sent people to preach the gospel to me.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I had a cousin That was the first person I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: saw a pilled with the Holy Spirit. I didn't respond
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to it, but I saw my eyes and I knew
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: there was a difference in a way of living that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: way she was living compared to the way I was living. Amen,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I just didn't respond until years later. Thank you Jesus,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Brother Frank says Amen. Sam, But today you are a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: special man. We love you so much that thank you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: for this devo online that you have given us every morning.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Love you man, love you too, and you're very welcome.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just on the assignment that God gave me Amen,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm honoring God with everything I have because I
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: don't know if this is my last devo. Right, it
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: could very well be, so I might as well pour
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it all out. Amen.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: To that way, I meet Jesus emptied out doing everything
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I had to do with the Gospel.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: For his sake and for the Kingdom's sake. Thank you
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: so much for your words of encouragement. My brother, my friend,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: love you too, so listen. Ultimately, this is it. It's
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: God who judges the hearts of people. Our responsibility as
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: believers is this love others, right, No brainer?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Right, Love others and share the hope we have we
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: have through our testimony we have in Christ, trusting that
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: God will work in their hearts as they encounter His
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: grace and his love. So basically, we're ambassadors, we're messengers.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: We are representatives of the Lord Jesus. Amen, and we're
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: gonna speak.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: About the completion of Yahweh, which is the Lord Jesus.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: We don't have to point to the commandments and to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the laws. Actually, we don't have to speak on scriptures
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to the unsaved because they don't know the scriptures. Some
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of them are gonna tell you or tell me because
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: this has happened to me lots of times when people
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: go up to me and say, I used to be
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: a Christian.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I used to go to church.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: My dad is a past and my mom is this,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and my grandmother was a worship. Like they'll go down
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a list of people they know in the Kingdom, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they themselves are not in the Kingdom, so understand what
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: they're saying. They're saying, Yeah, I know about Jesus because
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I have family members in the Kingdom, but I don't
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: know how to get in there, or I don't want
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to be in there. Then that's a perfect segue to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: share either your story of how Jesus saved your life,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: share an encouraging word, tell them that you're praying for
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: them and that you're available to listen to them.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Amen, love them. That's what basically they're looking for.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: They're looking to be loved into the Kingdom of God,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: now forced into a religion, not being told that they're
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: going to hell. Not to point out their sin because
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they're in bondage of sin. Before Christ saved us, we
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: were all like this, chained and bondage and bondage to sin.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Sin was our master but now, thank you Jesus, because
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of his grace, we are no longer bound to sin.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: We're no longer being mastered by sin. We're actually in
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: salvation mode and we're being born again and we are
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: created a new creation. And when sin pops up, we
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: have the power now to say no to it because
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: we're saved, but we're not supposed to judge unsaved. I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: hope you get what I'm saying. I know I said
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: a lot. Amen, But go back to Second Corinthians, chapter six.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Read that whole chapter for yourself amount of time. But
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for hanging out with me for
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: these morning DeVos, and thank you for all those who
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: are listening at Celebrated Network.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: God bless you all, God keep you all, and remember
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: always that God is good. Peace.
