  Speaker 1: to stay up and watch this and watch that on
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: TV amen. But we're here. We're here. Some things are
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not functioning. I guess I need an update for some
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of my software. But it's all good. We're gonna keep
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it moving. Man. Like I said, respect them, pray. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: wrote down believers, respect and pray for those in authority,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: recognizing that God can work through governments to maintain order
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and justice. It's gonna take God, our Father, to work
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: through our political system. It's gonna take him. I know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The world is like whatever. They don't believe that. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they're gonna keep it moving the way They're gonna keep
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it moving. But they just don't realize that God is sovereign.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Our God is sovereign. He's in control of all things.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He's allowing things to happen for his purpose and plan,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: his plans, his ways. His thoughts are supreme. Other it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not like our thoughts and our ways and our plans.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's obvious that this world's system is not being run
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: by the Lord Jesus. I don't think I have to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: convince nobody that this political system in the United States
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of America is not being run by the Lord Jesus,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: because if it was, it be holy, Holy different. Hey,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: man pun intended. Respect and pray though respect and pray
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for those who authority could be hitting two scriptures Roman

  Speaker 1: chapter thirteen, verses one to seven, and first Simonthy chapter two,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: verses one and two. Today in the morning Devo. So

• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and pray for those So this might be exclusively just

• 5:30
  Speaker 1: respect and pray. I got two scriptures today. The first
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: one is Romans chapter thirteen, verses one to seven, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the other is First Timothy chapter two versus one and two. Yeah, so,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I guess my topic, my image or something is blocking
• 5:49

• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and my topic and all that stuff. It is what
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it is. Man. I thank you for another day and

  Speaker 1: in authority and political systems. You could use anything you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: want to use for your glory, for your kingdom's sake.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God that every single person at the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: sound of my voice who's watching or listening. I pray,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Lord God, that they would learn or know that I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have respect, and I pray for every single person that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: comes my way, and that they can learn to do
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the same, regardless of their political persuasion, regardless of what
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: side of defense they are, regardless of who wins and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: who loses. We can respect and pray those who are
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: authority for one another, for the Kingdom of God, those
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: outside the kingdom, those are those who are in the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: kingdom and such. I thank you, Lord God for your power,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: your love, your grace, your mercy. Thank you, Lord God,

• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and Jesus' name, I speak I hedge of protection for
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all those who are out there that did what they
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: did during their campaigns or all situations the churches that

• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the prophets that spoke freedom, that spoke life, that spoke
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: righteousness during the season. And I pray that we can

• 11:01
  Speaker 1: scriptures because I know it's a lot for today. Amen,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. We're gonna try our best to
• 11:08

• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand sometimes how it works. I know

  Speaker 1: that He does work all things for good for those

  Speaker 1: who love him, and he knows my heart, he knows
• 11:30

• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Let's get this on the screen. There goes respect and pray.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Respect and pray today on the morning Devo Amen doing
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: things with respect and prayer Romans Chapter thirteen, verses one
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to seven, and listen closely. This is the word of God.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So there's really no bias on it. I put the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: flag up because of course we had election day, election
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: night yesterday. That made sense to me. And we're broadcasting
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: from the United States of America. For those who are
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: watching or listening from other parts of the world. A
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: man respecting pray, We respect and pray for your nations.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: We just ask for you to do the same. Respect
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and pray. Everyone must submit to governing authorities, not only here,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but that goes for every nation, according to the Word
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of God. For all authority comes from God. This is
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: where people miss it. For all authority comes from God.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: To say that ten million times, and those impositions of
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: authority have been placed there by God. So anyone, anyone
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and they will be punished. For the authorities do not
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: strike fear in people who are doing right, but in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: those who are doing wrong. Okay, So when you get
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: pulled over by the authorities. Hey, man, if you're doing okay,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: if you're doing right, you shouldn't put you shouldn't be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: fear in your heart. And even though I know it's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a little nerve wracking depending on the situation, but according
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to this word, those who are doing wrong should be
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in fear, but those who are doing right should not
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: be struck for fear. Would you like to live without
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: fear of the authorities, that's a question. Do what is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: right and they will honor you. The authorities are God's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: servants sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of course you should be afraid. But they have the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: power to punish you. They are God's servants sent for
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: but also to keep a clear conscience. Pay your taxes too,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: for these same reasons. Where government workers need to be paid.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: They are serving God and what they do, whether they
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, or understand that or not. Give
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to everyone what you owe them. Pay your taxes and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: government fees to those who collect them, and give respect
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and honor to those who are in authority. Plain and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: simple Apostle Paul knows he's inspired by Holy Spirit to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: write down what he wrote. It's on about authority in
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: his time a man under the Roman rule. Was it perfect?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not? Absolutely not, But God inspired him to write
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: down what he wrote. Do we live in a perfect
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: political system in America? Absolutely not. But we're inspired right
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: now to respect and pray and take heed to what
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: God is saying here. If you're doing right, you shouldn't
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have free. If you're doing wrong, be fair, because the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: government is gonna come and punish you according to what God.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: How God instituted this, how he set it up. Amen,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: It's not what I'm saying, not my opinion, It's the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: word of God. Second Scripture, First Timothy, Chapter two, verses
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: one and two. I urge you first of all to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: pray for all people. And we do that. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: pray for one another, pray for all people. There was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of bickering during this political season among brothers
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and sisters in Christ. That's a no, no. I don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: understand where we get this from. Remember, this is a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: worldly system, politically worldly system. I'm gonna argue with my
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: brother or my sister in Christ over a worldly system
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that we know is not the Kingdom of God's system. No,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get involved in that. But the Bible says,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I urge you first of all to pray for all people.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Ask God to help them intercede on their behalf and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings, presidents, kings,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: those are authority, and all who are in authority, so
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: godliness and dignity. That's why we're supposed to be known.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: America is supposed to really be pleased with us as servants,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: as ministers of the Gospel, ministers of reconciliation, as born
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: again believers. The government we should be like, Wow, those people,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: even whether they believe in our God or not, they're
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: they're they're a pleasure to serve. Right, we should be
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: those people. We should be people that are easy, quiet,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: peaceful people. Amen. But don't get a twists and old
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: people get to think, oh, you're weak. Christians, don't think
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that that's weakness. That's actually meekness, that's power under control.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Please don't get me on that end of things. Amen.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: God is sovereign he's controlled, he's omnipresent, almighty, yet he
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: has a gentle spirit. So we're just learning from our
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: father how to live this thing out. Amen. Regardless of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: what you think about the Lord Jesus, Amen, he's still
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in control. He's still King of kings, and he's still
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Lord of lords. Amazing how God speaks to us through
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: his word. See if I could get my notes here.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: The Bible teaches that all governing authorities are established by
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: God for the purpose of maintaining order and justice, order injustice.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Why would you want anything else but order and justice? Well,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: God wants that for us too. I know we humans
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: have messed a lot of things up. His order is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: trying to be changed, his order in family, it's trying
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to be changed by humans that are angry about God's order.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: How dare God tell me what to do with my
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: own body. You heard people say that, right, I've heard
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that so many years ago. It's nothing new. It's been
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: around for a long time. When I first became a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: youth minister, when I was in youth ministry, Amen ied
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to hear that from a lot of young people. This
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is my body. God can't tell me what to do
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: with my body. And then when they got a little older,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of them got pregnant out of marriage, out
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of wedlock. A lot of them have children out of wedlock.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And now they're understanding what I was trying to say
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: through the scriptures about to guard their hearts right, that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: their body was a living sacrificing to God and the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: temple of Holy Spirit. God. To take care of yourself, amen,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and cherish yourself by way of the word of God.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Protect yourself. Now they're starting to understand that, some of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: them I'm still in contact with. Now they're starting to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: realize that it was a it was a message of love.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't restrictions, amen. It wasn't that I was telling
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: them you can have fun, you can't do this and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the moves and regulations. No, it was a boundary that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: God wants us to put up a man to respect
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and pray for one another, to guard our hearts and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: minds through Christ Jesus. Their guards guardrails so that way
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we won't get ertaining chaotic type of behavior. So the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Bible teachers that God is stabbed all authority for his purpose,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that every action or policy of a government
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is golly doesn't mean. That doesn't mean that we have
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a golly political system. What it does mean is that
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: if we govern according to God's characteristics, in his character,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna have to deal with good choices and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: bad choices in the lens of the Bible and the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: lens of the word. Amen, it's gonna be good leaders,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad leaders. We actually see that all
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: through the Old Covenant, all through the scriptures, Pharaohs, the Kanza,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the kings, saw the first King of it. I mean
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: we see it. God's not hiding the way people were governing.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: God is not hiding the way people were acting responding
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to their people and their culture. He's not hiding it now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: He wasn't hiding it then. He's revealing things and exposing
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: things now because his truth always lines up to be
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: on the right side of things. Amen, who won the election,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: don't know yet. I see some posts circulating. Well, I'm
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: not going to say if it's legiti or not, So
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Amen. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your question, though, Nando, So as believers,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: we're really encouraged man to respect and submit to governing authorities.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Not because we should be afraid, because if we're doing right,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't be afraid of the governing authorities. But we're
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: doing it to honor God because we know ultimately God
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is who instituted leadership in the government. He places people
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: in leadership. I know a lot of people don't get
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: down with that. They don't understand that. They how could
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: God place this person and that? What about Stalin? What
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: about Hitler? What about how could God allow those things? Well, listen,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: God himself, his ways are not like our ways. His
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: kingdom government, it's not like the government politically of this world.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I'm from another kingdom, he said, My kingdom
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is not of this world. It's a heavenly kingdom. So
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: what the world kingdom does is what they're gonna do.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: What God does is what he's going to do, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: what we do. Because he's our king, we're supposed to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: operate different We're supposed to move differently a man, we're
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: supposed to respond differently. But first and foremost, I believe
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to pray for one another, respect one another,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and move in victory, not move by our emotions, our feelings.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: All this person one that person laws. Now we can't
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: talk because we are listen. If your brother in Christ
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: or sister in Christ, and you're gonna come at me
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: like that, amen, I'm gonna definitely be in prayer for you,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: because that's what's the word for it. Nonsense. We ain't
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: supposed to be like that towards one another, especially if
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you're in the Kingdom of God. As believers, we respect,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we submit to the governing authorities as a way of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: armoring God. And we also recognize that our will, ultimate allegiance,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: allegiance not to the flag of the United States of America.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Ultimately allegiance is to Him, the Lord Jesus. And we
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: see that in one Peter Chapter two, thirteen and fourteen.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just cite that scripture first Peter Chapter two,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: verses thirteen and seventeen for those who don't believe that
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that's what the word really says. This means, while we
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: respect the whole role of the government, we also discern,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: use our minds and evaluate the actions of the government
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in light of God's truth and the light of God's justice.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That's the ultimate judge of things. He's the ultimate judge
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: of things by way of his word, by way of
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: his life, his death, his resurrection, by way of how
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: he established government. If we want to do a deep
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: dive stuff in the Bible about how government is supposed
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to be, it's in the scriptures. It'll be a good way.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: If you're into political science or anything like that. If
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you want to read how God intended the government to be,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: go ahead, it's in the scriptures. You'll find it. You'll
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: find it there a man, and you decide whether or
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: not his way is the best way or not. You
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: could you could make that decision, or you could continue
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: basing your your whole life based upon a worldly system
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that is being run by the enemy of our all
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: our souls. Not listen, If you rely totally on this
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: political system to live a life of freedom, justice, liberty,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: pursuit of happiness, and all that that the world system offers,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be shortchanging your own self of total freedom,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: total victory, total liberty, and total pursuit of happiness. Because
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: God has a bet a way for us to be governed.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: But remember he allowed his people Israel a long time ago.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: He had asked, you want me as your God, or
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you want the kings of the nations and his people.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: The Israelites said, we want the kings of the nations
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: because they kind of like eye candy towards that. Amen.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So remember that our hope and trust are not in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: earthly governments, but it's ultimately in God's kingdom, which is
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: eternal and unshakeable. As Christians were called to be ambassadors
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of Christ, reflecting his love and truth in our interactions
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: with the world, including how we engage with government and society.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That's my take on it, man, I hope you get
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. Pray, respect, Amen, Let's do this.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We could do this, Amen. It should. It should be
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: second nature. It should be something that we already know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: amen to do because we have Holy Spirit, God lives
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: inside of us. So it's continue to respect and pray. Amen,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Pray and respect for all those Amen. I'm a little
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a little amazed the why how none of my stuff
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: is updating. That's the way it is, man. I think
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I have some keywords in my details that has abandoned
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: me from a lot of things right now. But it's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: all good. Like I said, We're gonna still respect and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: pray and we can still keep it moving. Thank you.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: So much for hanging out with me. Amen for this morning.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Del Mighty God bless you. Welcome back to the morning devo.

• 26:37

• 26:41
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's respect and pray, Amen, and keep on
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: moving in love and in victory. God bless you all.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Got to keep you all and remember always that God
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is Good. Peace.
