Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back.
0:05
Speaker 1: It's Friday, so you already know it's a cold Friday
0:08
Speaker 1: over here in the Northeast where I'm broadcasting out of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1: But amen, we're here. It's a Friday. So we shift
0:15
Speaker 1: years and we get into authentic Imitationology. This is episode
0:20
Speaker 1: number one, one hundred and eight. If this is your
0:22
Speaker 1: first time on a Friday with us, what is authentic imitationlogy? Right?
0:26
Speaker 1: It sounds weird. Two words that are opposite, right, Authentic
0:30
Speaker 1: meaning something that is real, and it's like no imitation,
0:35
Speaker 1: and then imitation is something that you imitate. So authentically
0:39
Speaker 1: imitating the most successful person who has ever lived on
0:43
Speaker 1: this planet, the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what we do
0:47
Speaker 1: on Fridays, at least that's what we try to do.
0:49
Speaker 1: But we use the Word of God to do it. Amen,
0:51
Speaker 1: Sis to join I see you, Good morning, God bless you,

0:58
Speaker 1: of authentic Imitationology, the more a DEVO session, Right, I'm
1:02
Speaker 1: going to ask the question that will really settle or

1:07
Speaker 1: are happening, Right, now on the internet from the time
1:10
Speaker 1: it is recording. Amen, this conversation is happening over and
1:14
Speaker 1: over again, and it's a conversation that probably will happen
1:17
Speaker 1: until the Lord comes back. But I believe this, this
1:20
Speaker 1: situation is settled when you look at the life of Jesus. Amen.
1:23
Speaker 1: If we look at the life of the author and
1:25
Speaker 1: perfect of our faith, we could get some answers quicker

1:38
Speaker 1: our King, our our everything. Does Jesus expose sin? Not
1:45
Speaker 1: through I exposed sin not? Does not if you're a
1:49
Speaker 1: pastor or apostle exposed to sin. Not if the YouTube
1:54
Speaker 1: influencers are exposing sin, not if a reporter exposed I'm asking,
2:01
Speaker 1: does Jesus expose sin? What do you think? Amen? You
2:06
Speaker 1: might be saying, well, I don't know Jesus. You know
2:08
Speaker 1: he was a Lamb of God, very kind person, didn't
2:12
Speaker 1: get into any trouble or anybody's business. Well, we're gonna
2:15

4:35
Speaker 1: I speak protection and the powerful name of Jesus. I
4:38
Speaker 1: pray Lord God, that you would dispatch your worrying angels
4:41
Speaker 1: to annihilate the tactics of the enemy. And Father God,
4:44

Speaker 1: power that you give us the ability to get up
5:09
Speaker 1: and move forward. So I speak life concerning all things living,

Speaker 1: and thank you for coming through to the morning Devo's
7:31
Speaker 1: good to see you here. So let's go for it.
7:34
Speaker 1: This question has been all over the internet. There's been
7:37
Speaker 1: a lot of exposure for the past years of people
7:41
Speaker 1: who are like me, doing their thing in the ministry,
7:45
Speaker 1: minding our own business, staying in point, staying in lane,
7:47
Speaker 1: and then getting exposed for something, something that's current of
7:51
Speaker 1: something that happened like fifteen thirty years ago, right and
7:55
Speaker 1: nonetheless it's being exposed and out of conversations all over
7:58
Speaker 1: the platforms. You know, should well be exposing sin. And
8:02
Speaker 1: what happens when the sin gets exposed, is this person
8:05
Speaker 1: who qualified anymore to preach or disqualified you know? Or
8:09
Speaker 1: other people are saying, oh, loot, leave those people alone,
8:12
Speaker 1: be quiet, go away, don't worry about other people's sin
8:15
Speaker 1: or plank in your own eye and all the log
8:19
Speaker 1: it's all crazy right now, the conversation, and we forget
8:21
Speaker 1: that we have the Master who spoke on it. We
8:24
Speaker 1: have Jesus who actually spoke about exposing sins, who is
8:28
Speaker 1: set an example for us on how to do it.
8:31
Speaker 1: Plus we have his apostles his disciples. We have the
8:34
Speaker 1: Word of God, Amen, and it seems like for whatever reason,
8:37
Speaker 1: we sway off the word and we go into our opinions,
8:40
Speaker 1: we go into our feelings. We don't go to our
8:43
Speaker 1: faith first. We go to our feelings first. And we
8:46
Speaker 1: need to change that. But the Carlos, God bless you.
8:48
Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning

Speaker 1: miss a beat. I believe this is very interesting, very powerful.
9:55
Speaker 1: If you seek truth, you're gonna find it here about
10:02
Speaker 1: does Jesus expose sin? We get this on the screen,
10:05
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, and there goes So does Jesus expose sin?
10:12
Speaker 1: Heavy question for a morning devotion right the first thing
10:15
Speaker 1: in the morning, and we're gonna get into it. Matthew five,
10:18
Speaker 1: Verses twenty one and twenty eight. This is our Lord speaking.
10:23
Speaker 1: He's in a situation, he's approached by religious people, and
10:27
Speaker 1: this is what happens. Ready, you have heard that it
10:32
Speaker 1: was said to the people long ago, you shall not murder,
10:37
Speaker 1: and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. It
10:43
Speaker 1: is the completion of the law, says always completion says.
10:50
Speaker 1: But I tell you that anyone who is angry with
10:55
Speaker 1: a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Judgment Again,
11:01
Speaker 1: anyone who says to a brother or sister raca is
11:05
Speaker 1: answerable to the court. Raka is like a curse word
11:09
Speaker 1: in the original language that he was speaking, is answerable
11:12
Speaker 1: to the court. And anyone who says you fool you
11:16
Speaker 1: will be in danger of the fire of hell. Okay,
11:21
Speaker 1: so he's telling you. I know what you heard, but
11:23
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this. So the law says one thing,
11:27
Speaker 1: and Jesus said, yeah, I acknowledge the law, and I'm
11:30
Speaker 1: gonna take that to another level verse twenty three. Therefore,
11:35
Speaker 1: if you are offering your gift at the altar and there,
11:40
Speaker 1: remember that your brother or sister has something against you.
11:44
Speaker 1: It's not that you have something ast them. Your brother
11:46
Speaker 1: and sister has something against you. Leave your gift there
11:50
Speaker 1: in front of the altar. Leave your gift first, go
11:53
Speaker 1: and be reconciled to them. Then come and offer your gift. Right,
11:59
Speaker 1: this is our Lord speaking, no opinion here, This is
12:02
Speaker 1: our Lord twenty five. Verse twenty five. Settle matters quickly
12:09
Speaker 1: with your adversary who is taking you to court. Hey, man,
12:14
Speaker 1: do it while you are still together. On the way,
12:18
Speaker 1: or your adversary may hand you over to the judge,
12:22
Speaker 1: and the judge may hand you over to the officer,
12:27
Speaker 1: and you may be thrown into prison. Truly, I tell
12:31
Speaker 1: you you will not get out until you have paid
12:34
Speaker 1: the last penny adultree ooh, And this is what's happening
12:41
Speaker 1: a lot lately. And if it's not for the grace
12:44
Speaker 1: of God, I pray that I will never go down
12:46
Speaker 1: this road verse twenty seven. You have heard that it
12:52
Speaker 1: was said you shall not commit adultery. But I tell
12:56
Speaker 1: you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has
13:00
Speaker 1: has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So
13:05
Speaker 1: he doesn't change the law. Jesus is a completion of
13:09
Speaker 1: the law, and he takes it to a higher standard.
13:13
Speaker 1: That's why everybody's quoting when sin has exposed. We all
13:17
Speaker 1: fall short of the glorious standards of God. And it's
13:22
Speaker 1: true we all do in our thought lives. We do
13:25
Speaker 1: things according to the scripture, according to the word of God,
13:29
Speaker 1: according to the living Word. Our thought life gets us
13:32
Speaker 1: to a place of doing something. So Jesus is exposing
13:37
Speaker 1: sin in incredible ways right here. In incredible ways, He's
13:43
Speaker 1: using what the people knew as the law, and he's
13:45
Speaker 1: quoting the law and taking into a higher level. Now,
13:49
Speaker 1: going back to the question, does Jesus expose sin? I mean,
13:54
Speaker 1: we have scriptures here. I don't know if that went
13:57
Speaker 1: over your head or anything like that. I try to
13:59
Speaker 1: read it slow, and I'm hoping that the Lord, Amen,
14:04
Speaker 1: we'll get this in our hearts and minds, if we
14:06
Speaker 1: won't have to really think too hard about this any longer.
14:10
Speaker 1: About this question conversations all over the internet, A lot
14:14
Speaker 1: has been going on with the saints of God, with preachers, apostles, teachers, evangelists, prophets,
14:21
Speaker 1: evangelists and prophets and all kinds of people in leadership
14:26
Speaker 1: all around the country, all around the nations, Amen, are
14:29
Speaker 1: being exposed. I believe this is the time that God
14:32
Speaker 1: is just exposing sin and putting light to darkness because
14:36
Speaker 1: He loves us and he doesn't want us to continue
14:38
Speaker 1: in darkness. Joy says blessings to my brothers and sisters
14:41
Speaker 1: in Christ this morning for this morning's devotion. Thank you
14:45
Speaker 1: so much for the blessing, Sister Joyce, I receive those
14:48
Speaker 1: blessings Amen from you and from the Lord. Thank you
14:51
Speaker 1: so much. Let me get to my notes before I
14:53
Speaker 1: get into more trouble, because I know this is going
14:56
Speaker 1: to spark up more conversation about trying to let the
14:59
Speaker 1: Lord speak. I don't want to put my opinion in it.
15:04
Speaker 1: So the answer a quick answer to the question does
15:07
Speaker 1: Jesus expose sin quick? And the short answer is yes,
15:14
Speaker 1: Jesus does expose sin, but he does it with the
15:18
Speaker 1: purpose of bringing people to repentance, to see that and
15:22
Speaker 1: offering them forgiveness and new life. So if we're just
15:26
Speaker 1: exposing our brothers and sister sins and not bringing them
15:30
Speaker 1: to a point of repentance or not allowing them to
15:34
Speaker 1: receive what Jesus wants for them is forgiveness and a
15:37
Speaker 1: new life, then we're just in a gossip column. We're
15:41
Speaker 1: just in an echo chamber of pointing fingers at other
15:46
Speaker 1: people saying, see, look at it, what this person did,
15:48
Speaker 1: See Look what Sam did. I pray to God that
15:52
Speaker 1: in my life as a believer, that I won't have
15:54
Speaker 1: to go down that road. But if I'm not careful,
15:57
Speaker 1: it's very possible, and for your life as well as
16:00
Speaker 1: very possible. But as long as we know how the
16:03
Speaker 1: Lord handles it, we should be handled it the same way.
16:07
Speaker 1: So during jesus earthly ministry, Jesus often addressed sin directly.
16:15
Speaker 1: He didn't go and tell somebody else and tell somebody
16:18
Speaker 1: else about this person over there. He directly approached it
16:21
Speaker 1: and addressed it, revealing the true nature of people's hearts
16:27
Speaker 1: and then their need for a savior. For example, the
16:31
Speaker 1: Sermon on them Mount Jesus expanded on the Law to
16:36
Speaker 1: show that sin is not just about the outward actions,
16:41
Speaker 1: but also about the condition of the heart, which refers
16:45
Speaker 1: to the mindset. Our heart before Jesus was wicked, corrupt,
16:51
Speaker 1: full of all kinds of vile stuff, deceeitful. You couldn't
16:55
Speaker 1: follow your heart. I mean, if you were following your
16:57
Speaker 1: heart before Jesus, you know, heart led you. Excuse me,
17:06
Speaker 1: you know where your heart led you. Now that we're
17:10
Speaker 1: born again, we have the heart of God. So now
17:13
Speaker 1: we can literally follow our heart now our new heart.
17:16
Speaker 1: We have a new mindset too. So Jesus was talking
17:21
Speaker 1: about not just about the outward actions that caused us
17:26
Speaker 1: the sin, but the inward part, the condition of our heart.
17:30
Speaker 1: And we read it in Matthew chapter five twenty one
17:33
Speaker 1: to twenty eight. So when Jesus went interact with people
17:38
Speaker 1: that were caught up an adult tree, caught up in sin,
17:40
Speaker 1: or whatever the situation. He will also demonstrate his approach
17:45
Speaker 1: to exposing sin, his approach, and it was like this
17:49
Speaker 1: when he spoke with the Samaritan woman, remember at the well.
17:53
Speaker 1: This is a very popular story if you read the Gospels.
17:57
Speaker 1: He gently revealed her past, gently with a gentle spirit,
18:02
Speaker 1: and her past and her current sins, leading her to
18:09
Speaker 1: recognize her need for the living water that Jesus offers.
18:16
Speaker 1: You can see that in John chapter four. I'll just
18:19
Speaker 1: cite the scripture John four, sixteen eighteen. So similarly, when
18:24
Speaker 1: Jesus encountered the woman caught in adult tree, remember that
18:28
Speaker 1: this woman was caught in the act of adult tree.
18:30
Speaker 1: We saw her in the act. That means the men
18:34
Speaker 1: or the people who brought her to Jesus were watching.
18:37
Speaker 1: That's how I always see that scripture. I'll saying, we
18:39
Speaker 1: called her in the act of adultree. What does that mean?
18:42
Speaker 1: You were actually watching? And then you grab her up
18:45
Speaker 1: out of there? What happened to the man? I thought
18:48
Speaker 1: it took to the tangle, brought an act of adult tree.
18:52
Speaker 1: What did Jesus do or I condemn you. I exposed
18:54
Speaker 1: your sin. Now I'm gonna put you on the YouTube
18:56
Speaker 1: channels and podcasts about you, and I'm gonna send all
18:59
Speaker 1: these people after you, and you're gonna feel guilt, shame,
19:03
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be punt. No, Jesus didn't do that,
19:06
Speaker 1: And Jesus encountered that woman. He did not condemn that woman,
19:10
Speaker 1: But instead of condemning her, he offered her grace and
19:15
Speaker 1: the opportunity to leave her life of sin. Actually go
19:21
Speaker 1: and sin, no more, go and don't do that anymore.
19:24
Speaker 1: The grace of God allows us to repent, to turn
19:27
Speaker 1: from the wickedness. Okay, now the light is shining on
19:30
Speaker 1: our darkness, and I believe Jesus does that for us
19:34
Speaker 1: to make a choice. You're caught, You're exposed. The sin
19:39
Speaker 1: is exposed. So instead of trying to continue to hide
19:42
Speaker 1: it or cover it up. Amen, So you're still in darkness,
19:46
Speaker 1: like my friend mister gas reached Johnson Saint reesys. If
19:50
Speaker 1: you're trying to cover sin, you're still trying to hold
19:53
Speaker 1: people in darkness. No, Jesus exposes the darkness with his
19:58
Speaker 1: light for us to make a decision to get up
20:01
Speaker 1: right dust our feet off, ask the Lord to forgive
20:04
Speaker 1: us for that trespass, that sin that we're already caught in.
20:09
Speaker 1: Don't try to defend yourself if you're caught right boom,
20:14
Speaker 1: get up from that point and move forward. Jesus offers
20:16
Speaker 1: us a way to not send that way anymore. He says,
20:20
Speaker 1: go and send no more. On a lot of occasions
20:22
Speaker 1: in the scriptures, there's no combination for those who are
20:28
Speaker 1: in Christ. Jesus, that's number one Jesus and the scriptures
20:31
Speaker 1: that we read. He would say, you've heard it. You
20:34
Speaker 1: already know the law. But I say, amen, this is
20:38
Speaker 1: the level that I'm looking at it that because he
20:41
Speaker 1: is the living Word, he's the completion of the law.
20:45
Speaker 1: So he could speak about sin because he himself did
20:48
Speaker 1: not sin, so there's no plank in his eye. He's
20:50
Speaker 1: not a hypocrite. He never sinned, so he could have
20:54
Speaker 1: condemned us all for sinning. He's not a sinner right
20:58
Speaker 1: and actually a born again believe we're technically not sinners.
21:02
Speaker 1: We're saints that sin every now every now and then
21:05
Speaker 1: because we're not bound to it. If you think about
21:08
Speaker 1: your position in Christ, clearly, since you are free from
21:12
Speaker 1: the bondages of sin. We make bad choices and we sin.
21:17
Speaker 1: We're not bound to sin. We don't have to sin
21:19
Speaker 1: like so many people say, Oh, you get up, you're
21:21
Speaker 1: gonna sin. Who said, oh, we sin sometimes unconsciously. So
21:26
Speaker 1: if we're sinning unconsciously, Amen, then I don't know I sin.
21:30
Speaker 1: Then you're not conscious of your sin. We have Holy
21:34
Speaker 1: Spirit that is sealed in us, holding us accountable to
21:40
Speaker 1: not do this and not do that, and not to
21:42
Speaker 1: go into darkness, holding us accountable because Holy Spirit in
21:45
Speaker 1: us loves us. But I'm thinking if I sin with
21:48
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit living inside of me, holy Spirit still does
21:51
Speaker 1: not sin. The flesh is sinning, the spirit is still good.
21:54
Speaker 1: A man that gives me an opportunity to get up, repent,
21:59
Speaker 1: stop what I'm doing, stop the wackedness, and turn to
22:01
Speaker 1: the righteouses of God. I could do that at any moment,
22:04
Speaker 1: any given moment. I don't have to stay stuck in darkness.
22:08
Speaker 1: God does not want his children living in darkness any longer.
22:11
Speaker 1: Those days of darkness should be over. Do we go
22:14
Speaker 1: in those ways? Sometimes? I guess because of the lust
22:17
Speaker 1: of the eyes, a pride of life, the devil, our
22:20
Speaker 1: own evil, sinful desires a man. There's a battle going on.
22:24
Speaker 1: Having you noticed, so my brothers and sisters that get exposed,
22:29
Speaker 1: and then they start fighting back and say no, you
22:32
Speaker 1: can't judge me, and all this other stuff. We need
22:35
Speaker 1: to calm down, take a deep breath, and look out
22:39
Speaker 1: how Jesus exposed sins. And let's take it from that
22:43
Speaker 1: vantaged point. It's to our advantage that Jesus approached people
22:47
Speaker 1: who were exposed in sin. He already knows your sin,
22:51
Speaker 1: he knows my sin, and he offers us redemption. He
22:54
Speaker 1: offers us repentance, he offers us forgiveness, and we can
22:58
Speaker 1: get back up. So ultimately, and this is the point
23:03
Speaker 1: I was trying to make. I don't know I read
23:05
Speaker 1: older scriptures. Please read that in Matthew chapter number five,
23:10
Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself. So I'm not gonna be
23:13
Speaker 1: cherry picking like people say I do. I try to concentrate.
23:16
Speaker 1: I actually have one scripture, but sometimes I get excited.
23:20
Speaker 1: I try to read eight nine scriptures, sometimes in a row.
23:24
Speaker 1: So that way I could get you to think a man,
23:27
Speaker 1: or inspire you to think, or encourage you to read
23:29
Speaker 1: the word for yourself. Just in case you think that's
23:32
Speaker 1: not right. You always have the open word of God.
23:35
Speaker 1: It's an open book test. A man life in Christ
23:38
Speaker 1: is an open book test. We could literally open up
23:40
Speaker 1: the scriptures and get the answers to life's pressing questions.
23:44
Speaker 1: In your life and in my life. It's the open book.
23:47
Speaker 1: God allows us to open the book of life, which
23:51
Speaker 1: is the Bible, read it and apply it and receive
23:53
Speaker 1: the benefits of it. So, ultimately, the way Jesus exposed
23:59
Speaker 1: the sin was not meant to shame or condemn anyone,
24:04
Speaker 1: but to bring people to a place of recognizing their
24:09
Speaker 1: need for His grace and his forgiveness. Whose grace and
24:14
Speaker 1: forgiveness would I need if I was exposed of sin? Yours?
24:18
Speaker 1: That will help, But ultimately I would need the grace
24:22
Speaker 1: and forgiveness of the Lord. So if somebody is caught
24:26
Speaker 1: and sin, whatever the sin is. Nowadays, for the most part,
24:32
Speaker 1: many people that are followed for years and years and
24:34
Speaker 1: years at the end of their lives man a lot
24:38
Speaker 1: of it. I would say ninety percent of the exposure
24:43
Speaker 1: at the end of their life have to do with
24:44
Speaker 1: sexual sexual morality. Right for whatever reason, that's my experience
24:50
Speaker 1: of the people I followed that I'm no longer here,
24:53
Speaker 1: and it was at the end of their lives, and
24:56
Speaker 1: I learned so much from them. These are worldwide leaders,
25:00
Speaker 1: some of them are local leaders, Amen. Some other people
25:02
Speaker 1: that you probably never heard their name, but they helped
25:05
Speaker 1: me so much in life. I grabbed from them right
25:09
Speaker 1: the word and their example that I've seen with my
25:12
Speaker 1: eyes when the stuff other stuff came out. Yeah, mess
25:16
Speaker 1: with me, Amen, But ultimately it was between them and
25:19
Speaker 1: the Lord to receive his grace, his forgiveness, and to
25:23
Speaker 1: move on and repentance. So through the Lord's death and resurrection,
25:27
Speaker 1: Jesus himself provided the solution to sin, offeringering us complete
25:32
Speaker 1: forgiveness and a new identity in Christ. So as brothers
25:36
Speaker 1: and sisters, as believers, as children of God, we can
25:40
Speaker 1: rest assured that our sins are forgiven and that we
25:45
Speaker 1: are empowered to live a new life in Christ. So
25:48
Speaker 1: Jesus does expose sin, but he does it so incredibly
25:52
Speaker 1: different than how we do it as brothers and sistems
25:56
Speaker 1: of Christ. So my idea here is that we need
25:59
Speaker 1: to do better, Amen, not put our brothers and sis
26:02
Speaker 1: sister shame, but to offer them forgiveness, grace and lead
26:06
Speaker 1: them to the one who can completely forgive them, who
26:09
Speaker 1: has already completely forgiven them, offering them grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Incredible.
26:17
Speaker 1: Thank you Lord, Amen for doing it the way you
26:20
Speaker 1: did it, and we could follow your example and be
26:23
Speaker 1: authentic imitation people, imitators of you. So I hope you
26:29
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. God, bless you. Thank you so
26:31
Speaker 1: much for hanging out with me for this morning devotion.
26:33
Speaker 1: I know is a little heavier than normal. Amen, but
26:36
Speaker 1: the conversations all over the internet and there has to
26:39
Speaker 1: be some kind of disruption, and let's get back to
26:42
Speaker 1: the face of the Lord. Let's get back to the
26:44
Speaker 1: word of God. Amen on the matter. God bless you all,
26:47
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
26:51
Speaker 1: Please
