  Speaker 1: We're all in this together. We are all in this together.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So let's pray. Father, I thank you for right now,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for today. Thank you for your love and your support.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And just watching over us, Lord God. Thank you, Lord God,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: for being faithful to your word and being faithful to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: us even when we are not faithful. I pray, Lord God,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a hedge protection over my family. I pray a supernatural
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: prayer over my mom, over her body physically, emotionally, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: spiritually right now in Jesus' holy name. I pray, Lord God,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that you would have your way and your will performed
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in her life, and she will give you glory, honor, worship,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and praise for it right now. I pray for your
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: awkward angels, your ministering angels, your warring angels, all to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be on assignment against the enemy's tactics and plans over
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: my life, over my family's life, over our children's life,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: over our grandchildren's life, over our whole entire bloodline. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: pray that same power of protection, that same angelic host,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a dispatch of warring angels to annihilate the plans over
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: every single person that's listening or watching right now. In
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus' holy name, I pray this by faith. And Lord God,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thank you that we can claim an unshakable kingdom as
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: your word declares, because we know your word is true.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Your word is always relevant, everlasting, all-powerful. And Lord God,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: your word never returns to you void. And I thank
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you for that as well. In Jesus' holy name, we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: pray this by faith. And those who agree with this prayer,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we say amen to the amen. Let's go forward. Let's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: get into this word. Hebrews chapter number 12, verses 28
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and 29. Amen. This is really amped me up. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was going to go into another scripture in Hebrews 12,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and the Lord was like, nah, I don't want to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: talk about that right now to your people. Amen. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to your ministry, I want to talk about this. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: was like, yes, Lord, you already know. When the Lord speaks,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to listen. I'm learning more and more to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just do what he says. Amen. Day by day. Therefore,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, go ahead and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: share that with somebody. We have an unshakable kingdom. Let
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: us be filled with gratitude and so worship God acceptably
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So knowing that our God is a consuming fire and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we're still alive and he still allows us to breathe
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and live and share this message. Amen. Although he's an
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all-consuming fire, man, we are in awe. We are in reverence. Amen.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Because we know that we have an almighty God that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we serve, a consuming fire that we We're still alive
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: here and we're not burning up because God's power and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: his love, his grace, his mercy is upon us. That's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: amazing to me. Sister Joanne, I see you. Good morning.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome back to the Morning Devo, my sister,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: my friend. So we are receiving an unshakable kingdom. The
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: world is going bonkers right now. We see crime, killing, disease, wars,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: rumors of wars everywhere. famine, all kinds of things going
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: on in real time in our lives. And yet we have,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we're receiving an unshakable kingdom. Amen. The kingdom of God
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that will outlast any kingdom on this earth. So we
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: know that life can change in an instant. Like your
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: life and my life could change instantly. How do I know?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Jobs change, right? Health changes, relationships change, amen? Struggles in relationships,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: financial struggles sometimes, right? The world around us, right? It
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: feels like it's never ending death, never ending crime, never
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ending corruption, never ending whatever, right? This world. But as
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: believers in Jesus, the Lord, the Christ, we have something
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that the world cannot take away from us. We have
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: an unshakable kingdom, right? And we could go ahead and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: boast about God and what he has for us, amen?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And boast about what we have, because without Christ, we
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: can do nothing. Without Christ, we have nothing. Without the Lord,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: where would we be? Without his grace, right? Where would
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we be right now? But according to his word, We receive, right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: We're receiving an unshakable kingdom, right? So we see in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Hebrews chapter 12, 28 and 29, a reminder to us
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, right?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: We have earthquakes more often than the world, right? The
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: earth shakes, but guess what's not shaking? The kingdom of God.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: unshakable kingdom. We don't worship God only when everything's going well.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Understand that. In my roughest times in life, amen, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: decide to worship the Lord more, right? When I'm financially
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in a struggle, I worship the God more, the God
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of heaven and earth, the God who owns it all,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I worship him more. So it's not only through good times,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: when things are going good, everybody's doing well, No, we
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: worship him. I worship him because he is worthy of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: my worship, honor, praise. He's worthy of all the glory. Amen.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and give it to him. Let's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: go ahead and give it to him. Even when life
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: gets hard, even when life gets difficult, let's go ahead
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and praise the Lord regardless. Right? Our gratitude, our thankfulness,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that literally reflects our Trust in the one who never changes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Life changes. Job changes. Relationships change. People change, right? The
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: switch up is crazy sometimes. How people are on your
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: side one day and then the next day they're like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: totally against you. They talk about you behind your back.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They accuse you of all kind of stuff without letting
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: people know the true whole story about the matter. Things change.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: People change. But there's one that we serve. Amen? Amen.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That we are receiving from this unshakable kingdom that he
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: never changes. And that's the Lord Jesus. Then we have
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: verse 29 of Hebrews chapter 12. Right? There's a lot
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: here to discuss because God said it. He spoke it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: He means it. He understands our way of understanding. But
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: his ways are not like our ways. His thoughts are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: not like our thoughts. So we got to reach higher.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We got to get to his level. Amen. In the spirit.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Where it says... In verse 29, that our God is
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a consuming fire. What does that mean? It means that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: God is almighty. There's no one that can approach him
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: unless he allows us to approach him. No one can
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: touch God unless he allows us to touch him. Amen.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Because he's a consuming fire. You ever put your, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: hope you never did this. Amen. But when we were kids,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: we would do weird things. Put your hand in the fire.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I hope you never did that. Amen. Amen. But out
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of curiosity, we've touched flames. I've touched flames before. Out
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of curiosity, my mom would say, don't touch the oven.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Don't touch the stove. And I would ask why, because
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to get burned. And what do I do?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I go ahead and test that. That type of fire. Amen?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It's not an all-consuming fire, although it can be. could
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: consume you if we're not careful. But God says he's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: an all-consuming fire, meaning that you mess around with the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: fire of God in the wrong way, you're going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be consumed. You're going to be, it's not going to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: be good. So we should be at awe about this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: consuming fire of God, right? It's awful, like a bad
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thing for someone to fall in the hands of a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: mighty God that doesn't trust him, rejects him, curses him, right?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Mocks God. That's awful. But it's awesome for us believing
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in Christ to fall into the hands of a mighty God.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: See how that works? The all-consuming fire for a person
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: who rejects the gospel, who rejects the Lord, that's not
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a good thing. But an awesome thing. All consuming fire
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: for those who believe and are trusting and have faith
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in the Lord Jesus. That's an awesome thing, amazing thing
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to do. A good way of approaching God. God is
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: not someone we should approach carelessly. Like, ah, that's just Jesus. Ah,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that's just God. Ah, that's just his church. No, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: should have reverence. We should have awe, respect, right? We
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: are called to worship him with reverence. I remember growing
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: up and I was affiliated with the Catholic Church. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: don't think I was ever considered a Catholic. But there
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was so much reverence when you walked into that place
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of worship. It was quiet. Couldn't make a lot of fuss.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Couldn't make a lot of noise. They would tell you, shh.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And there was reverence. Then
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: there's other churches that I've been to outside of Catholicism. That, man,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: everything's happening. People are drinking coffee, eating donuts in a sanctuary.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Kids are running around. You know, it's out of order.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So we need to bring the reverence back in the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: house of God. We need to bring reverence back in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: worshiping God. This God is a consuming fire. Our God
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is a consuming fire. Let's be at awe, have reverence,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: respect for the Lord, the King of kings and the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Lord of lords, right? Call to worship him with reverence. Awe.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: All like, wow, like amazing. God never ceases to amaze me. Amen.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He remains awesome in my heart and in my life
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all the time. There's not one day that I say, ah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just another day with the Lord. No.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It's an amazing day with the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Lord every single time. And his love, his grace, his mercy,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I feel it increasing in my life as I get older.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: What about you? Amen. Call to worship him with reverence.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: all and hearts that are willing to be transformed by
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: his presence. The Bible says where the presence of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Lord is, there is liberty, there's freedom, there's deliverance, there's breakthrough. Amen.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: There's love, there's grace, there's mercy, there's justice for all
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: who are in the presence of our almighty, all-consuming fire
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of God. So we don't allow the things around us
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to shake us, amen? Because we are receiving an unshakable kingdom.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Don't allow the shaking around you, right, to destroy your
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: faith in you. Don't let the things around you affect
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: what's in you. Don't let the sin around you affect
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the one that's in you, right? When fear rises up,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: remember God's promises. When uncertainty comes, and these are uncertain times, absolutely.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: These are very uncertain times. But when those times come,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: stand on God's word. Stand on his word. When blessings arrive,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: give him thanks because we all know good blessings, good
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: things come from the Lord. There's nothing that's good that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: coming from the enemy. Nothing good really comes from humans,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you know, who are doing things, good deeds. Yeah. There's
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: some good in there, but ultimate good comes from God. Amen.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we can't do good for one another. Yes,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we do good for one another. We love one another.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We're trying our best to do good by you and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to you, for you, you know, and reciprocate that, man.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Let's be kind to one another. Show love towards one another. Absolutely,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that's good. But ultimately, good comes from God because God
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is the only one who is good. The world may shake,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but God's kingdom... remains unshakable forever. The shaking of the world,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the groaning of the earth, we see it. It's more
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and more like coming. We know that the Lord is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: coming soon because the world is really groaning. Like the world,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the earth is groaning for the return of the King,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: for the return of their creator, right? Amen. He's present
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in us by way of Holy Spirit, but there's one
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: day coming that he's going to crack the sky open
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and make his re-entry. as the line of Judah, right?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Not as the Lamb of God, not for negotiations, not
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, you want to serve me? No, it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: coming to judge everyone here and we're coming with him, right?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Riding on the clouds. It's going to be amazing. But
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, let's go ahead and praise God that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, a kingdom that we
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: can't build with our own hands. I know I hear
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: people saying, we're building the kingdom of God. I hope
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they don't mean that we're actually building the kingdom. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: understand that's a way of saying, hey, we're expanding the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: kingdom of God. The gospel message is being expanded throughout
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the world, throughout the earth. There's a certain number of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: people that God knows that are going to receive the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: gospel message, then he's going to make his return. That's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: why we don't know the time, day or hour, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: we do know his promise is true. that he is
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: coming back. We just don't know the exact time. People
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have been trying to predict his coming for years and
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: years and years, and all of them obviously have been wrong.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: All of them. The so-called prophets, prophets, apostles, evangelists, pastors, teachers,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they've all been wrong about this date that the Lord
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was supposed to come back. And we're still here waiting,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: eagerly waiting, like we saw before last time. We're eagerly
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: awaiting right, his return. So while we're eagerly waiting his return,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and realize that we are receiving an
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: unshakable kingdom. Let us be filled with thanksgiving, that's gratitude,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. Let's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: go ahead and do that. It's okay. Everybody's doing their
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: own thing, right? Everybody's worshiping their idols, their so-called gods.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: We have the true, living, holy, righteous, loving God So
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: why are we ashamed? Just continue to worship the Lord.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Continue to praise the Lord. Continue to move forward in faith.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Continue to realize that we're receiving an unshakable kingdom, right?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So remember, we're going to experience things in this life. Absolutely.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: We're going to be experiencing things that might shake our circumstances,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: might shake our finances, might shake our marriages, might shake
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: our relationships with our kids, or with our parents, or
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: with our siblings. All of that may be happening, right?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: But we can stand firm on this, that we have
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a kingdom with a king who is unshaking, who is unshakable.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: No one can push the Lord. No one is pushing God.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Step to the side, Father. Step to the side, Jesus.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Step to the side, Holy Spirit. Nobody can do that. Amen?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: No one can do that. We have a unshakable King
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of Kings and Lord of Lords. And he has an
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: unshakable kingdom. Amen. There's no economy crash that's going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: affect the kingdom of God. There's no virus that's going
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to shake the kingdom of God. There is no war
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that's going to shake the kingdom of God. Get what
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? God is almighty. He is a consuming fire.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And yet he allows us to approach him with boldness
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to the throne room of grace. That's Him allowing us
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to do that. We don't force our way into the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: kingdom of God. No one can force their way into
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the kingdom of God. But God allows us to approach Him. Amen? So,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: just think about it. Do like an inventory of your
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: life today, right? And, you know, what temporary things have
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you or have I been depending on instead of God? Right?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: There's a temporary thing that we need right now And
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes we depend on those temporary things more than we
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: depend on God. We know what it is. If it's nothing,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you say, no, I depend on God. There's nothing temporary.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. Amen. I'm thinking right now, amen, what
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: things I'm trying to depend more on than depending on God.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: So how can, you know, these are just questions that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you can ask yourself. How can you demonstrate your gratitude?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: How can you demonstrate your reverence, your respect? in your
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: daily life? Well, this is one way, getting into his word.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: That's making you think about him more often, thanking him
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: more often, amen? And now you are living in reverence
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and awe to the fact that we're receiving what God
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: has for us. Amen. We're receiving an unshakable kingdom from
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: an almighty king who has an unshakable fortress and he's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a consuming fire. He's letting us know that although he's almighty, all-consuming,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a consuming fire, He's allowing us to approach Him. Again,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that's relational. That's not traditional and that's not religious. That's
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a relationship we have and we're receiving from the Lord
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: what He has for us. Amen? That's why I want
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to share this out to as many people. I want
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: everybody in on this. Amen? If you're listening or watching
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: right now, you have an opportunity right now to receive
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: what we're receiving as believers. Amen? Come on into the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: winning team. Come on in. Amen? The invitation is open
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: for whosoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: will be saved. Saved from this world that's going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: be annihilated soon. Saved from our own sin. Saved from
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the wrath of God. Saved and delivered from the things
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that the enemy has placed upon our shoulders and has
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: lied to us and said, there's no way that you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: could be saved. The enemy is saying, there's no way
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: you could be saved. There's no way you could be transformed.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: There's no way that you could be delivered. That's a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: lie from the pit of hell. It smells like smoke.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to that voice no more. Listen to the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: voice of the Lord. Amen. He said, today is the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: day of salvation. Today, you can be changed, transformed, made new, redeemed.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You could receive this unshakable kingdom right now. All you
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: have to do is admit that you need Jesus to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: forgive you for your sins. Believe in his word. Believe
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in this. Amen. Then confess Jesus Christ as your personal
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Lord and Savior. then see what happens. The outcome is
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: going to be amazing. You are going to change. Amen.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That's the word of God on it. How about this?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: What can I do today? Think about what I could
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: do today, what you could do today to stand firm
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: in your faith when circumstances get bad or difficult or hard.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: When life gets hard, what are you going to do?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Are you going to run into a corner and then
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: lay in a fetal position and Or are you going
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to trust God, stand firm in your faith, amen, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: know that you're receiving an unshakable faith, unshakable kingdom, because
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: we have an unshakable king, amen? No one is pushing
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the kingdom of God around. Haven't you noticed that this
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: world is so messed up, but yet the kingdom of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: God is standing firm, right? The economy, the gas prices,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and the health insurance issues, all that is happening, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: yet the kingdom of God is steady and firm, unaffected. Amen.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So we are people, right? We are people that are
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: unaffected by what the world is throwing at us because,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: listen to this, because we have an unshakable king and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: we're receiving an unshakable kingdom. Amen. Brother John, humble yourself.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Are you saying for me to humble myself or are
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we already humble? Amen. God bless you, my brother. Thank
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you for coming to the Morning Devo. So take an
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: action step. Do this. Maybe this will help you. I'm
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: going to do it later on. Write down three things
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that you're grateful to God for. Write it down. Then
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: identify one area. This is a quick exercise you could do.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Identify one area of uncertainty in your life. This should
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: be easy. I'm already thinking about some uncertainty in my life.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Write down one area of uncertainty in your life. And
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: surrender it to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Surrender it to the Lord in prayer. Pray about that
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: one thing that you're uncertain about. Choose to walk in
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: faith rather than in fear. So in other words, bring
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that uncertainty to the Lord who is an unshakable king.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: We're receiving his unshakable kingdom. Amen. And let him in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: on it. He knows our troubles anyway. He knows our
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: concerns anyway. It's just that if you have a relationship
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with someone, you want to express these to that someone
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that you love. You want to express your concern. You
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: want to express your burdens, your pain, your hurt, your challenges. Amen.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And God being our father in heaven, he knows us, right?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: He wants to hear from us. This is a communication.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Prayer is communicating with our father. And Holy Spirit, amen,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: reminds us of his word and his promises over our lives.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And Jesus is the mediator. Amen? He's the intercessor between
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the Father and us. Amazing. We have this unshakable kingdom, right,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: that will fill us with gratitude, thanksgiving, right, unto the Lord.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And we're going to worship him. We're going to reverence him.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to be in awe about the Lord. He's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a God who is a consuming fire, right? So share
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this devotion out, man. Share this with somebody that needs
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: encouragement today. I know I needed this. Hebrews chapter 12,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: verses 28 and 29. I suggest you read the whole chapter,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Hebrews chapter 12. Someone needs to be reminded today that
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: their hope is not built on a shaking world. This
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: world is out of here. This world is corrupt, fallen.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's a fallen world, fallen system. And that's why Jesus
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: is bringing a new heaven, and a new earth. But
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: instead of building or relying on a world that's being shaken,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: let's rely on an eternal king that's unshakable. And we're
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: receiving his unshakable kingdom. Right? This will encourage someone. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: know it's encouraging me. Stand firm in Christ. Stand firm
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: in his word and him. Amen. Reverence him. Be at
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: all about the Lord and his outstanding ways. Amen. We're
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: receiving an unshakable kingdom from an unshakable king. Amen. Although
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: he says, God is a consuming fire. Our God is
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a consuming fire. Amen. So it makes me think, how
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: are we able to approach a consuming fire? Because we're
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: clothed with the righteous robe of the Lord Jesus. And
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: because we're clothed with the righteous robe of the Lord Jesus,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: we could approach the Father. Amen? And go to the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: throne room of grace with boldness, knowing that Jesus has
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: given us entry. He's the door, right? He's the path
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to righteousness. He's the entrance that we need to get
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: right with the Father. Amen? Our gods are consuming fire.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it, man. Let's realize who we are,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: what we're about, and who we belong to and what
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: we're receiving. Amen. Hebrews chapter 12, 28 and 29. Read
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself to make sure this was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: in context. Amen. I want you to make sure this
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: is in context so that way God can bless your
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: life as He has blessed my life as well. Amen.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm out of time. Thank you so much for
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: hanging out with me for these morning devos. I try
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to be in the studio 5.30 a.m. Mondays to Fridays. Amen.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: As long as the Lord allows. It's all His grace
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and it's all His mercy. Amen. But thank you so much.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm out of here. Amen. Let me send you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: off with a blessing so that way we could get
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: our day started, continue to wake up and win the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: day with the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you all.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: God keep you all. And remember always that God is good. Peace.
