• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning family, God bless you. Welcome back to the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo. It's Friday, so we're gonna head over to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: authentic imitationology, the session where we try our best through
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the Word of God, by way of spirit Amen, by
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: way of fellowship, by way of communicating with one another, Amen,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to imitate the most successful person who has ever lived
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on this planet Earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. So authentic Imitationology,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I believe this is episode one hundred and twenty two.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And today we're aiming to restore and not destroyed. We're
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: aiming to restore things, not destroy things a man as
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: believers in Christ. And we have that perfect example that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we see in the life of the Lord Jesus. He
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: was aiming not to destroy, but to restore, aiming to restore,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: not destroy. Amen. And if you read John three point
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: sixteen you will see that clearly, and three sixteen and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to John three sixteen to three eighteen, you'll see that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't come to condemn the world. He came to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: save the world. Amen. So we have what we need
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and we have the perfect example through the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, Please use the live chat. That's what we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: here for. Amen. Even if you're not watching this live
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: by the time this is all said and done, there's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: still a way to connect with us. Contact us, communicate
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: with us, Amen, and we'll get back to you with
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: as stondent as possible. As soon as we see it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to you, Amen. Will respond to your comment, question, concern,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: or prayer requests. I'm a prayer warrior. I would love
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to pray for you. Amen. I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: believe in a power prayer because I believe I was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: prayed into the Kingdom God myself. So Christians confront issues.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We confront them with gentleness and with respect to restore,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: not destroy. Ephesians shot the four verse number fifteen. Ephesians
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: four and fifteen confront issues. Yes, And if you know
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: me personally, you know I don't like to confront. I'm
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: not a confrontational person. Before Christ saved me, very confrontational,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: always on green light, ready to go. Now, I'm like, listen,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'd rather than that, Amen. But Christians, born again believers,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: children of God, we confront issues gently and respectfully, aiming
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to restore not to destroy. I believe that's the reason
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: why a lot of people in the world system think
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that we're soft. A man's been saved and we're humble, Amen,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And we're gentle and gentle spirit, we're respectful, and they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: take that as a weakness. There's actually power under controls,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: actually meekness, power of God under control, living and wrestling
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: inside of us. Amen. And when they see that, they'd
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: be like, Nah, there's no way that that person's gonna
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: keep it all together going through XYZ. But we have
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit of God who keeps us together, keeps us
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: at peace, We've been talking about that this week, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: keeps us aiming to restore right, restore of the breach.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We're here to reconcile people back to the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not to destroy things, not to divide. The most powerful
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: equation for a Christian when it comes to mathematics is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: addition and multiplication, not subtraction and division. Amen. Addition and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: multiplication is to our benefit as believers. Division and subtraction
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not good. Amen. So let's go for it. We're gonna
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: pray first. After we pray, we shared us out for
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: like sixty seconds, and then on the other side of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the sixty seconds will get right into today's scripture. Ephesians,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: chapter four, verse number fifteen. You ready, let's pray Father,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, the name above every name.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I thank you, Lord God, that we have the peace
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of God, because we have peace with God because of you,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, by way of your grace, your mercy, your truth,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: your love, your salvation. Thank you for giving us purpose.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you for a perfect plan for each of our lives.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I pray a hedge of protection, a wall of protection.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I pray forth arquen angels, the mighty angels of God
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: from heaven, to really annihilate the tactics and plans of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the enemy over my life, my wife's life, our children's life,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: our grandchildren's life, our family's life, the life of every
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: single person on the other side of the screen and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on the other side of this mic, that God, you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: will set and dispatch angels to war against the tactics
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of the enemy against us. I pray peace be still.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I pray the power of prayer forward, the power of faith.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that we will continue to aim
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to restore things, not to destroy things. I thank you,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Lord God, for your love. I thank you, Lord God
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for your word. I thank you Love God for your
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: promises in your word which is all yeay and amen,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and I cover us Lord God right now by way
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit, with the power the authority invested in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: every single person of God, every single child of God,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: every son of God, every daughter of God. We come
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: together by faith knowing that we have what we need
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to live a victorious life in this time, in this world,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in this season of our lives. In the name of Jesus.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I give you thanks, I give praise, glory and worship
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: all belong to you in Jesus Holy Name. My prayer
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is by faith, and those who agree we say amen
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to the Amen. I'll see you brother one. Good morning, Bro, God,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: bless you, Amen, and everybody that's tune in one sense,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: blessings to the morning Devo. Thank you, bro. It's good
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to see you on the morning Devo. So let's go
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: for it. Sixty seconds. Help me share this out. When
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's Morning Devo.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back and we're moving right along. Amen.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We're back. Amen. We're getting a couple of amen's here,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sister Joanne, I see you. Good morning, God bless you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Devo, my sister and my friend. Amen,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you. Thank you for your faithfulness.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You come. I think you you come to the Morning
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Devo other than me, more than anybody else. Amen. Thank
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you so much for coming through and blessing you and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: your family as well. So aiming to restore, not to destroy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It might seem like, okay, of course we're supposed to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be that way. But what's the word on it? Amen?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, what's the word on this topic? And what
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I found what the Lord gave me real quick was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in Ephesians, chapter number four, verse number fifteen, and the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: apostle inspired by Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul wrote this down. Amen.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And of course when God inspires you to write something down, Amen,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he plans to share that that word. Amen. We're not
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to be hoarders of the word. We're supposed to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be hearers and doers of the word. We're supposed to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: imitate what God told us to imitate. He said, be
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: holy by because He's holy right where the light where
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the salt of the earth. As Jesus said, we are.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So we're imitators, authentic imitators of Jesus by way of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit and by way of his word. Men follow
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: me as I follow Christ. Right, that's what the apostle said,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Here we go, Amen, so
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: aiming to restore, not to destroy. And here's the scripture
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Ephesian shot, the four verse, number fifteen. But speaking the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: truth in love in all things, both our speech, in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: our lives, expressing His truth. Let us grow up in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all things into Him, following his example. Who is the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: head Christ? Amen, beautiful scripture? How clear could that be?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Speaking truth in love? Listen, we got the truth. I know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Religions out there say no, my religion is the truth.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Your God is not the real God Jesus. And like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I know, I hear all the time, I see the debates,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I see the struggle. Amen. But the name of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus yahweh yashu ahamashiek is the name above every name. Right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And the Jehovah Witness version of their Bible that says
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Jesus is the name above every other name. And if
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they're honest and they look at their own Hebrew or
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: their own Greek, they would know that that was an insert.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: The original language doesn't say name above every other name.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: The original language says name above every name, not every
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: other name. It's a difference. So I know I seen
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it all for the most part. When people come against
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Jesus and what he said, but Jesus came. He is
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the Messiah. He came on the rescue mission, not to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: destroy everything and everyone, but to restore everything and everyone
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: right back reconciliation, back to the Lord. But speaking the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: truth in love. So now that we know the truth,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we speak it in love in all things, both the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: way we speak and the way we live. We're living
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: out literally living out his truth, and we're growing up
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in faith. We're growing up in all things into Him,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: following his example. Who is the head Christ, Jesus. It's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: right there right So now there goes the scripture itself.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But now we know, man, and we could keep on
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: going with what we know. We could keep on striving
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: because we're alive in Christ. So we know, Hey, man,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we're living one day at a time, and the days
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that we're living in is the time. Now we know
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the truth right in love. We spread this Why because
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: as believers we confront issues gently and respectfully. The respect
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: part is powerful when you listen to somebody else's story,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: when you listen to somebody else's perception, when you listen
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to somebody else's belief. Amen, you are sure in respect,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you're not cutting people off in the middle of what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: they're trying to say. Amen, you're listening, you're being respectful.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But you know as soon as you hear something that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: way offline, that doesn't that doesn't match up with the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: scriptures that are in here. Amen, you start realizing, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: don't think this person or these people understand what we believe. Amen.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So you just listen, and sometimes that will even attack
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: our scriptures, our Bible and say, yeah, there's errors, there's this,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: there's that, and you just let them talk because I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: learned that along the way. As long as I'm being respectful,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they man and they're mocking God and doing this and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: they're doing that. As long as I remain respectful, I'm
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: actually the one in control. Holy Spirit moving. Amen. If
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you notice, Holy Spirit, don't move all crazy, Holy Spirit,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: don't move all loud and get into people's faces. Holy
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Spirit is not doing that. Holy Spirit is power under control.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is moving and love, grace, and mercy. Holy
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Spirit is moving in truth and leading people into all truth.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is convicting people of their sin, right, convicting
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: us if we sin. So listen, we have to stay
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and remain in the identity of Christ that we are.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: When this word is attacked, they're not really attacking me personally,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: They're attacking God. And last time I checked, nobody could
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: hurt God right, and nobody could help. God is God
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: all by himself, and he's all powerful, almighty, all loving.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He's full of justice and peace and mercy. Amen. So really,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: nobody really wants to smoke with God. Amen. That's why
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, Father, forgive them when he was on the cross,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Amen,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So forgive them. And most people when they don't understand
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: something and they get angry, they get frustrated. I don't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: understand a Christian. So therefore, if I don't understand that,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it can't be right, it can't be true. There's no
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: way I'm gonna look somewhere else. That message that the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Christians are putting out there is too simple, and there's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: no way that one man did that all. There's no
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: way that that one man, Jesus is God. There's no
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: way that he's the completion of Yahweh. There's no way
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that all the prophets were prophesying about this Lord and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Savior Jesus. There's no way that he he came already.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: There's no way that he has sended already. There's no
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: way that he sent Holy Spirit to his believers, his children.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: There's no way that the scriptures are true and relevant anymore.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: There's no way that he's coming back. You see that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: people are saying all of that because they don't want change,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and they don't want to submit to the power of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: God's word, and they don't want peace. They want chaos.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Some people are addicted to chaos, But we're not addicted
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to chaos as believers, as children of God. We didn't
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: come to destroy and break up everything and divide everything.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: We came and on a mission. Now right now, we're
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on a mission field. We're born again, filled with Holy
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Spirit God. We came to redeem, restore. Just like John
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: three sixteen to eighteen, we're on the same mission. Jesus
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: came not to condemn the world, but to save the world. Amen.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He came to rescue the lass. And after we're rescued,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: we're saved, we're born again. He inspires us, fills up
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: with fills us with his Holy Spirit, and we go
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: out there as fishers of men, preaching the gospel, the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: gospel that saves, the gospel that proves to live a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: victorious life. The God of Jesus, a man, the Father. Amen.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I said it right, The God of Jesus, the Father
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and man. I know people. So you see, we caught
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Sam saying that Jesus not God, that he has a God.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: He is Jesus, the Son, is the Savior, the Father
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is the lover Amn yah wah. And Holy Spirit is
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the leader, all three functioning in unity, perfect unity, all
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: three and one. I know, mathematically not logical. I know
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I heard all the pushback on that. Listen, if we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: could really comprehend everything that God did, then I don't
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: think he'll be God. There should be some parts of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the scriptures that we can't comprehend. But guess what Jesus
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: promised us eternal life. He's gonna give us eternity to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: find out. Amen. But in the meantime, while we hear
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on the short path of eternity, Let's go ahead and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: preach the gospel. Let's go ahead and pray for one another.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and love up on one another. Amen,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and speak truth and love. Let's go
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: ahead and grow in Christ, even grow into Christ as
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: we continue to move in peace. So when you're thinking
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: about it, right, and you're like, man, I know, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to offend anybody. I don't want to destroy relationships.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But I have this truth and I don't want to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: be confronted by anybody. So let me not say nothing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: When you're thinking that way, you might want to check
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: your faith, Amen, because the Bible is clear. We're not
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: out here denying who we are, right, or you shouldn't
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: be out here denying who you are. If you deny
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Christ or you know, in front of men, then I
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: think Jesus said I'll deny you in front of my father.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That's a powerful scripture. Amen, that's a word right now
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: for us to realize. Listen, and we can't be hiding out.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We can't be closet Christians anymore. We have to come out,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: come outside of your building, of your you know, of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: your safe environment, of your controlled environment. Right, come out
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of your air conditioned situation. Go outside and preach the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: same thing that you will preach inside a controlled environment.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Preach it outside with your life, right, the Bible says,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we just read in Epheesians, with your life, with your speech,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: how you're living. Amen, And just to show people that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you're growing in Christ. You might not have it all together.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to have it all together, but we're
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: growing into Christ and when we do that, we will
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: have peace. But listen to this. Peace doesn't mean ignoring.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Peace doesn't mean that we're going to ignore the obvious,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna ignore the elephant in the room, that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to ignore our own sinful desires and we're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: just gonna excuse them away. That's not how peace works, Christians.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: When we walk in peace, we're really confronting the issue.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: We're confronting the problem, but we're doing it in peace
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and in love, and we have power under control, right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and we're respectful, respectful. We aim to restore, not destroyed.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: We have the power of God living inside of it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I know I can't wrap my head around it. Every
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: time I say it, I'm like, what, there's just no way,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: But God did it by way of Holy Spirit, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he's doing it, proving it every day over and over.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The hope of glory is inside of every one of
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: God's children. And listen, we are all created an image
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of God. But we're not all children of God. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Word says only Jesus gives us the right to be
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: called children of God. Check that out. That's not you know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: something you could take lightly. Oh, we're all children of God.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Are here all the time in the marketplace? Oh, we're
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: all children of God. You Christians say that you're the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: only children of God. We're all children of God. We're
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: all made by God, well created by God. And I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: listened to that very close to them, like what God is?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Are they talking about? What God are you talking about? Heymen?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Because God? Are the Christians right? It says that the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: only right that we have to be called children of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: God is found through the Lord Jesus, not through Buddha,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: not through Mohammad, not through Christner, not through Joseph Smith,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: not through our religion. No, it's through the Lord himself.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So we're imitators of the Lord Jesus. Amen. And we
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: are speaking with love and truth. We have truth and love.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Those things have to go hand in hand when we
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: out here talking, when we are out here preaching, when
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we out here evangelizing, when we're out here showing our lights,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: not hiding out, not just being in our same community,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: not just preaching to the choir, not just church to church,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Christian to Christian, ministry to ministry, not just going to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: conferences and events. I have nothing against conferences and events.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I just look at the clips and the details and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: how these things are happening, and I'm like, did anybody
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: get saved or their unbelievers in that crowd? Probably? Amen?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But what's the target? My target? Let me let you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: know what my target is. Because people get things confused.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they probably say, Sam, it's too light with the scriptures,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: he's too light with the Gospel, he's too light with
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: his ministry. It's like, you know, an entry level. Well,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: guess what, ladies and gentlemen. My target is not the church.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Oo ay man. It's never been the church. It's been
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the people who are lost, the people who came out
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: or who want to come out of the streets of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the party life, of simple behaviors, pornography, addiction, who are
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: sick and neat healing, true healing and wholeness. People who
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: are tired of being you know, faking it to they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: making it. People who are ministry that are surrounded by backsliders.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I'm trying, that's my target, trying to get them to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: go to the scriptures for themselves and stop following these
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: vicious cycles of I'm up here on Sunday and then
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: by the time time Tuesday comes down here again, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: it's just a cycle over and over again. But you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: God forgave me, God of grace. Amen, you're up there ministering,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and you know that the night before you were not
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in ministry for the Lord. You were in ministry for yourself, smoking,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: drinking and doing all kinds of stuff outside of marriage.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I'll just keep it light. That's why I keep it
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: light because we're on a general public platform. But in
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: my adult Bible studies, we get into the nitty gritty, right, Amen.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm just looking for a home. I'm not gonna
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: do it online on social media. I'm looking for a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: home to put more that more adult style Bible study on. Amen.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I think I found a home. I just have to
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: raise the finances to get on the platform that I'm
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: looking at. Amen. So that's I'm keeping on our hold
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: for now. Amen. Adult Bible Study people have been invited,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you're already registered, you already got the welcome email, all
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that stuff. It's coming, Lord willing, amen, if he allows me.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just being very strategic of where I'm going to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: place that Adult Bible Study because I don't think the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: social media platforms are gonna be ready for that, Amen.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to get into all kind of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: debates with all other ministries and all this other stuff.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep it private, amen, for those who
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: really want the sauce. And we're gonna keep it on
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: another platform outside of the matrix. Amen. So just in
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: case you will wonder what happened to the Adult Bible Study,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it's there. It's in development. Amen. God is so good Amen.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: And patience is a fruit of God in us, Amen,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: fruit of the spirit patience. So speaking with love and truth,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: refronting issues gently and respectfully. You know, I like the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: younger generations they say when they come against you, they
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: say respectfully. It's like as like a double meaning to me.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: But I know what they're trying to say. They're trying
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: to say, Listen, I don't agree with you. I disagree,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to respect your viewpoint. But I'm right
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and you're wrong. It's an arrogant way of saying that,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: but respectfully. According to the scriptures, when we show respect
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on will, we're actually telling people listen, I care about
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: what you're saying. I care about how you're feeling. Amen.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Let me listen, and when you respond, you respond in truth,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: You respond in love, You respond with a gentle spirit. Amen.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Because you don't want to destroy things, you don't want
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to divide things. You don't want to just dominate conversations.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You want to be on a love level with people. Amen.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Because God is loved and less I'm a checked He
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: lives inside of us, and we should be walking in love.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: If there Chapter four. Read the whole chapter for yourself.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: We camped out a verse number fifteen amount of time,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: actually over time. So let me send you off for
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a blessing. Thank you so much for all those who
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: came through, and all those who will listen later or
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: watch later, amen to find out what this was all about.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all. God keep you all, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: remember always that God is good. Peace,
