  Speaker 1: power of God's angelic hosts to move forward and rec
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: shop according to the power and glory of the Lord Jesus.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: When I mean rex shop, I mean destroy and annihilate
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the plans and tactics of the enemy over our lives.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So I pray love, grace, mercy forward. I pray the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: power of God's word to be evident in this morning Devo,
• 4:25

• 6:32
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Let's see what the Word of God
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: has for us today as we move forward. Brother Frank,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to the morning DeVore. Bro, my friend, it's good to
• 6:40

• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Amen, thank you for taking the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: time to come and check us out and to be
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a part of it. Thank you so much. So let's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: go for it. Man. This word is a powerful words,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: short but powerful. Right. It seems like whatever God speaks
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a man forward in our lives, and we apply it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and we activate that word in our lives, it becomes
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a powerful way of living. Like the Word of God.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You could just grab it, take it. Word of God.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Some parts of the Bible says eat the word of God, right,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: so that way we could be full of his word. Amen,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: so that we could go and tell others about the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: power and love and grace and mercy of the Lord. Amen.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's see what this word
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: can do for us today. The benefits of obeying a loving, holy,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: righteous God who wants nothing else but to serve, to communicate,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and to have relationship with his creation. A man, he's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not just you know that picture that people put like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: an older in this guy, like an old man with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a bat or a cane or whip trying to beat
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: everybody who is and sin, beat everybody who's not doing good.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Right now, that's not the guy that we serve. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: guy that we serve is a God of love, grace,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and mercy and truth, and he wants us to know
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: how the benefits of obeying God, the benefits of obeying
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: his commandments and all of it. He wants us to know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And why wouldn't you want in on the benefits of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: obeying God. That that's a question that needs an answer, right,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: needs an answer. Let's see if I could get this
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on the screen there you go. Benefits of obeying God.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Let's go Isaiah, Chapter twenty six, verse number three. The
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Bible says, you will keep imperfect and constant peace the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one whose mind is step fast, that is committed and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: focused on you in both inclination and character, because he
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: trusts and takes refuge in you with hope and confident expectation. Listen,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I want to be that person that's imperfect and constant peace. Right,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: perfect and constant peace. I wouldn't trade peace, the peace
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of God for anything in the world. Man, you might
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: be saying, Oh, that's cap that's exaggeration. If they offered
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you a certain amount of money, if a woman offered
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you a body, if they offered you a position at
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: work that you wouldn't, you'd be seft for the rest
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of your life. You'll do away with this Bible stuff.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You'll do away with this Christian stuff. Oh no, I won't.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: This constant peace and this perfect peace is available to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all those whosoevers who call upon the name of the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Lord to be saved. And when you have this peace,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you already know what I'm talking about. Right, take refuge
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in God. We take refuge and the hope and expectation
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and confident expectation that God's world would come through for us,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that Jesus will come through for us, and that holy
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: spiritual God is into all truth. I want to trade
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that for the world, literally, I want to trade it
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: for the world. Hopefully you wouldn't trade that for the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: world either. And if you don't know what I'm talking about,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you want this peace, stay tuned, Amen, there's a way
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to get these benefits of being God in your life,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like personally today you don't have to wait and so oh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'll wait till I'm Sam's age, or wait, I'll wait
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: till I get older as if you know or if
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I know when older is? How about older never comes? About?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Today is your final day on earth? Well, what are
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you gonna do? A man when you meet a holy,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: love and righteous God who actually spoke to your life
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: through the prophet, through the apostle, through the evangelists, through
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the pastor through the teacher, and you just continue to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: reject his word. Don't be that person. Accept God in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: your life. Right, Redeemer, he's the Restorer, he's the Savior,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a man, he's the Messiah. He wants you to obey
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: his word because his word is actually the true living word,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the word of life. The Word of truth. Doesn't want
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you to miss out on an opportunity to be a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: part of the eternal life package. He has something better
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: than any retirement plan. He has eternal life. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: after we retire from this earth, after we expire, every
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: one of us has an expiration date. We just don't
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: know when exactly it is. But in the meantime, let's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: love one another, forgive one another, trust in God, hoping God,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and we will receive the benefits of obeying God. Jesus said, Look,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: if you love God, if you love him, obey his commandments.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And although sometimes it seems like, man, this is hard,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you know, being a Christian's heart. The only reason why
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we say that because the flesh is trying to get
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back into our lives. The flesh is trying to control
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: things again. Sin is trying, it's knocking out the door
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and it's trying to control us again. But once you're
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: born again, you're saved. Sin has no power. The flesh
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is defeated. Amen. There's always constant war with the flesh.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I understand that as a matter of fact, the flesh
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and the spirit are always at war to the Lord
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus takes us out of this flesh body. But in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the same time we have holy Spirit. We have the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God, resting, living, breathing in us. So everywhere
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you travel if you're born again, everywhere I travel where
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm born again, every step that I take in the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: direction that God wants me to tack take, I'm bringing
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the whole Kingdom with me. Amen, Because we have a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: kingdom mindset. We don't have a worldly mindset. The more
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: we have a kingdom mindset. And there's two kingdoms. There's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a kingdom of this world and there's a Kingdom of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: God and another kingdom out there that I'm concerned about. Amen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Those are the two kingdoms that we deal with. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: as a born again follow up the Lord Jesus. Amen.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Or we flow and we thrive and we walk with
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a kingdom purpose, a kingdom mindset, and we have the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God living and breathing, And we could call
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: upon angels and hopes of angels to work for us
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: as we are obedient to God's word. That's one of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the benefits. We have angels at our disposal, angels ready
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for us to call them on them just the joy us.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to the One of Devo,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and thank you for the blessings over the group. So
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: good to have you, my sister, my friend. So obedience.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Let me get some of my notes. And I know
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it seems like people are like, oh, man, why do
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I have to obey? Well, you don't have to write
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: like it's obvious that people do what they want to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: do regardless of what God's word says. Right. The Bible
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: literally says, you could do whatever we want to do,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but not everything that you're going to do that you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: decide to do that I decide to do, will be
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: beneficial for you, for me, for the Kingdom, for your family,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for life in general. There's certain things that the flesh
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: wants us to do that won't benefit anything. It will
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: satisfy temporarial, temporal desires, but it won't fulfill or satisfy
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: our soul. The only one who satisfies our soul is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Living God, Holy Spirit, God, the Father, the Father loves
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the Son, saved, the Holy Spirit. Gods. Amen. That's gonna
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: be my new mantra. Amen that I'm speaking out. Benefits
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of of being God's will Number one peace and clarity.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Who in the world in their right mind wouldn't want
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the peace of God today, right now, this moment, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: want the piece of God everywhere I go, every day
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I wake up, I want the peace of God. There's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: so much chaos going on outside. There's a lot of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: things happening right in the world. There's a lot of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: things happen in families behind closed doors on whether in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: church or out of church, everybody's going through something. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: when you feel the peace and you have the peace
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of God, and the only way you can have the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: peace of God is if you have peace with God.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Once you have peace with God through Jesus the Son,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that way you have good things happening between you and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the Father, and then you have holy Spirit. When you
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: have peace with God, you'll have the peace of God. Amen.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: So the benefits of beying God's will brings peace and clarity.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We just read it Isaiah, chapter twenty six, verse number three.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: How about this one benefits of abeying God's will leads
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to spiritual growth. We come in as babies right where
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: we're craving pure spiritual milk. But it comes a time
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that God wants us to grow in the grace and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: knowledge of who He is, and we get growth, spiritual
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: growth in the faith. I save two thousand and one
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and the time of this recording is twenty twenty five.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm twenty four years almost, twenty four years in salvation,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: in the newness of Christ, in the new life, in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a new creation. And men. So I guess that's why
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I have a young spirit inside of me. Amen, because
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I'm twenty four years almost in December of this year.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: From the time of this this recording, I'll be twenty
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: four years old. Twenty four years young actually in the faith. Amen.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So when you obey God's will, the benefit is it
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: leads to spiritual growth. John fifteen, verse number ten. If
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you want to check that out for yourself, spiritual growth
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is available to every single one of us who are
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus. Again, if you're not in Christ, Jesus,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? Get with it, Get with
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the eternity, the eternal life giving plan, the best planned
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and the best place you could be is in the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: will of God. And when you obey the will of God,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you get these benefits. And listen, this is amazing. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: could come into the Kingdom today and have all these
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: benefits available available to you right now. You don't got
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to wait, you know, like a what do he call
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: those when you get a new job, a probation period.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: There's no probation period. Once you're born again, you're saved,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you're sanctified or delivered. Now the spiritual growth is gonna
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: happen in your life. And how do you do that?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And you want rapid spiritual growth? Connect with other believers,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: stay connected to holy ghost filled believers right stay unconnected
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to podcasts like this, or Bible studies like this, or
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: morning DeVos like this. And man, I'm not the only
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: one doing this. There's a whole bunch of us. There's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: mens and mens upon mens of born again believers that
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: are active in the Kingdom of God pushing the word
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: forward and moving and love, grace and mercy by way
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit, because He wants us to grow spiritually.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Another benefit of a bying God is is lasting fruit.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: You know what we eat people, You know, the medical
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: field says you are what you eat, and the scripture
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: says you are who you bear fruit. The way you
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: bear fruit is who you are. That's the evidence of
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: who you are in Christ. You don't bear good fruit,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: then it's obvious right that you're on another tree. You're
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not on the tree of eternal life. You're not on
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the branch of the vine which divine dresser, which is
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the Lord. You're planted in another vineyard. Right. If you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: not bearing good fruit benefits of obeying God's will, you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: produce lasting fruit. John fifteen and five. Who doesn't want
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: good fruit? I mean, if you plant the tree eventually,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: if it's a fruit tree, whatever fruit is supposed to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: come out of that tree. If it's an apple tree,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you want good apples. Why would you want bad apples?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Is If it's a peach tree, you want good peaches.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Why would you want bad peaches. If it's an orange tree,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you want good oranges, why would you want bad oranges?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The same in the life of a believer. If we
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: say we're born again, and we go around speaking righteousness
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and speaking holiness, but our fruit is rotten. Our fruit
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't you know, have life in it. Our fruit is
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: always coming down written and dying really quick, then that's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not the fruit that God wants us to bear. He
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: wants us to produce last thing fruit. Last thing fruit
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is you know you're born again, you're saved, you're rescued.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: You have the power holy spirit of living inside of you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You lay hands on the sick and they shop recover.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: You speak life and you plant seeds of eternal life.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And when your fruit is shown. That's why you don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: got to go around, you know, with a car, a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: business card, or you don't have to be a big
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: influencer online to be a believer. You don't have to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: prove nothing to nobody. Just bear good fruit and people
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: will want to know, Hey, what's going on in your
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: life life, Who is it that you follow and what
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is it that you do besides work, besides business, Because
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they're going to see good food coming from you, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: they're gonna want to know where that food is coming from. Amen.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And that's your perfect opportunity right there to give them
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the gospel message of the Lord Jesus the Christ. Also
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: benefits of a being God is we get drawn closer
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to God like in communion. Do you realize that we
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: are we have and we are in perfect communion with
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus by way of Holy Spirit? Last time I checked.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: God is perfect, the Father is perfect, the Son is perfect,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is perfect. Once you have Holy Spirit living
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: inside of you, reminding you of everything that He's taught you,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: every word that he spoke to your life, every promise.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit retains that information, remembers the information that he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: gives you and that he gives me, and we're in
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: perfect communication, perfect communion, perfect with the Lord Jesus. A
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people think we have to do X y
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Z to have a communion with the Lord. In remembrance
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, we take the bread and drink the wine. Right,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: we eat the bread, break it, eat it, and then
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: we drink the wine representing his body that was broken
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: for us as the bread and the wine is the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: blood that was shed for us for eternal life. It's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: called communion, and that is in remembrance of what Jesus did.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: But how about this Holy Spirit God living inside of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: us is perfect communion daily with us, right in spirit
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and in truth, and we could worship completely, We could
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: worship perfectly. We have communication, perfect communion with the Lord
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus by way of Holy Spirit. Because not only do
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: we do things in remembrance of him, Holy Spirit will
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: remind us of who he is and what he's doing
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and what has he done in your life. From what
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: he's done in my life. Perfect. People might say, oh,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not perfect. Well, I don't think you're called to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: be perfect. You're called to be blameless and obedient to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Amen. Worship God with everything you have. Worship
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: him and all the God. The Bible says, the greatest commandment, right,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you should have no other gods before you other than
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the God of Heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the God of holiness and righteousness and mercy. And then
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: love your neighbor as you love yourself and men. Those
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: two commandments, those are the ones that complete all the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: prophets and all the other commandments according to what Jesus said.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: That's obedience. Obey God's commandments. People say there's too many. No,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we're following the one who completed the commandments. It is
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ. And if he's asking us to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: follow him, that means we're following the commandments. Right. He
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: completed all the commandments, and Jesus said, come follow me.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Then we are good. And Holy Spirit never breaks the law.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And if Holy Spirit lives in you and lives in me,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: we are blameless. The Bible says, if you break one law.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: If you want to follow and obey the commandments, you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: break one, you broke them all, and it's like it's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: going to be like a forever. You know, you're trying
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to achieve something that's unachievable on your own. But in Christ,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a man in harmony with the Holy Spirit, when you
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: follow the commandments a man, when you do things of
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the Bible says, then you're not breaking the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: law if you let the spirit lead you and you
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: don't gratify the flesh, but you feed and rely on
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. The Bible says against that, there is no
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: law right when you're in the spirit of God. To
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: obey like Jesus means just trust like Jesus. Jesus had
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a perfect trust in the Father because he knew the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Father had the best plan for his life, the perfect plan,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and the timing that God gave Jesus to live on
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: his planet was perfect. Obedience is not just about rules,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. It's about relationship. I'm gonna say that again. Obedience,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: when you obey God get the benefits of God is
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: because it's not about rules and regulations and religion. It's
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: about relationship. Loving God enough to say yes Lord, no
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: matter the costs, no matter what, Yes Lord. Amen. So
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I hope you're inspired and the courage today. By this
• 24:40

• 24:44
