3:05
Speaker 1: everything's said and done in this morning Devo, we're going
3:07
Speaker 1: to get this ultimate freedom. We already have it for
3:09
Speaker 1: those who are born again. Sometimes we just have to
3:12
Speaker 1: be reminded of who we are and whose we are
3:15
Speaker 1: in Christ. Amen. So, Father, I thank you so much
3:19
Speaker 1: that you have set us free. You have set us free,
3:23
Speaker 1: and we are not in bondage. We are not under
3:26
Speaker 1: the law of sin and death any longer. We are
3:29
Speaker 1: under the freedom of Christ Jesus. We are in the
3:33
Speaker 1: freedom of Christ Jesus, living this life out for the
3:35
Speaker 1: purposes and plans of what you have for each individual
3:39
Speaker 1: person that's connected now, who will connect later, who are
3:42
Speaker 1: watching now, who are listening now, amen, or will listen
3:45
Speaker 1: or watch later. I pray a hedge of protection right
3:48
Speaker 1: now in Jesus Holy name, that you will continue to
3:51
Speaker 1: protect us, guard us, guide us. The righteous steps that
3:54
Speaker 1: you have for us are ordered. The steps of the
3:57
Speaker 1: righteous are ordered. Thank you, Lord God for your word
4:00
Speaker 1: on that as well. I speak life, Lord God, concerning
4:03
Speaker 1: all things living in this situations that we're in, these
4:06
Speaker 1: situations in life that we're facing today. I pray, Lord God,
4:10
Speaker 1: the comfort and peace of God over my life and
4:13
Speaker 1: my family's life, my wife, our children, our bloodlines from
4:17
Speaker 1: both sides, from the very youngest family member to the
4:19
Speaker 1: very oldest, and every single person in between. I pray
4:23
Speaker 1: that over myself and my family, and for every single
4:25
Speaker 1: person representing their families on the other side of the
4:28
Speaker 1: screen and on the other side of this mic, and
4:31
Speaker 1: the mighty power of Jesus's name. I pray it is
4:33
Speaker 1: by faith. Thank you, Lord God for your ultimate freedom
4:37
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. And those who agree and understand somewhat
4:41
Speaker 1: or understand fully when I'm talking about we all say
4:43
Speaker 1: amen and amen, so help me share this out sixty
4:47
Speaker 1: seconds when we come back, we'll get right into it.
4:48
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, man, And man, we're back. Let's
6:18
Speaker 1: go for it, man, Let's see. When it comes to
6:21
Speaker 1: the Word of God, I always I get happy because
6:25
Speaker 1: I know that once I read the Word and we
6:28
Speaker 1: get this in our spirit and we apply what the
6:32
Speaker 1: word says, we're onto something. We're onto a new day,
6:35
Speaker 1: a better day, a better situation, better decisions, a mindset
6:41
Speaker 1: that is changing and representing for the Kingdom of God.
6:45
Speaker 1: And we are encouraged to keep on going and to
6:47
Speaker 1: read more of the scriptures because when we apply, because
6:50
Speaker 1: when we apply to scriptures in our lives and we
6:52
Speaker 1: see transformation happening in real time, when we see change
6:56
Speaker 1: happening in real time, when we see breakthrough happening in
6:59
Speaker 1: real time. I don't know about you, but for me,
7:02
Speaker 1: I want more. I want more of God. I want
7:04
Speaker 1: more of his word. I want more of his truth.
7:06
Speaker 1: I want more of his victory. I want more of
7:08
Speaker 1: his favor. I want more of his blessings. I want more.
7:12
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit of God is already living inside of every
7:15
Speaker 1: single person who called upon the name of the Lord
7:18
Speaker 1: to be saved. Amen, and there has been in divine exchange. Amen,
7:22
Speaker 1: you are sent the very single person the very one
7:26
Speaker 1: that rose Jesus from the dead is available and now
7:29
Speaker 1: living and in dwelling in every single one of us
7:31
Speaker 1: who are his children. Amen. Now, I know there's a
7:35
Speaker 1: lot of people say we'll all God's children. That's not true.
7:39
Speaker 1: Only Jesus Christ of Nazareth gives us the right to
7:43
Speaker 1: be called children of God. Is in the scriptures. That's
7:46
Speaker 1: why I repeat it. I understand we all created in
7:50
Speaker 1: the image of God. Amen. And even in that, if
7:54
Speaker 1: you do your due diligence, you do a Bible study
7:57
Speaker 1: of what happened in Genesis. In the Book of Genesis,
8:00
Speaker 1: after chapter three, you realize that there's a mention that
8:05
Speaker 1: the first child or the children were creating an image
8:08
Speaker 1: of Adam. Right, so there's a first atom, there's a
8:11
Speaker 1: last atom. Can't get into all the details about that.
8:14
Speaker 1: You may just want to throw that out there for
8:16
Speaker 1: those who are Bible scholars, Brians who want to investigate
8:21
Speaker 1: what I just said, Amen, is you can find it
8:24
Speaker 1: in the Genus, in the Book of Genesis. So let's
8:26
Speaker 1: go for it. Let me put this on the screen.
8:27
Speaker 1: For those who are just listening, Amen, audio only, it's
8:31
Speaker 1: an amazing thing, right, how audio only episodes of the
8:34
Speaker 1: Morning Devo. Paint pictures in your mind. That last I know.
8:38
Speaker 1: For me, I can hear audio all day, Amen, and
8:42
Speaker 1: it will literally help me out more than when I'm
8:44
Speaker 1: watching videos. I like to hear what's being said. Amen.
8:49
Speaker 1: But for those who want to watch, Amen, Praise God.
8:51
Speaker 1: We're here so we have a covered on both ends.
8:56
Speaker 1: Good morning, brother Frank, Good morning, God bless you, welcome
8:58
Speaker 1: back to the Morning Devo. It's good to see my bro,
9:01
Speaker 1: my friend, sister Juanne. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome
9:04
Speaker 1: back to the Morning Deva with my sister, my friends.
9:06
Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Let's go for it, amen, And
9:10
Speaker 1: that way we can get into this Morning Deva ultimate freedom.
9:13
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want to be free? I know, the thought
9:17
Speaker 1: of being locked up in a prison cell right for
9:22
Speaker 1: a minute, two minutes a day a year, it just
9:27
Speaker 1: drives my mind. Bankers, I said, I love my freedom,
9:30
Speaker 1: and if that would be the case, I will still
9:32
Speaker 1: have freedom in Christ. But you know what I mean.
9:35
Speaker 1: When you're in a cage, locked up, you can no
9:38
Speaker 1: longer do what you usually would do, can no longer
9:42
Speaker 1: be with your family. For that time that you're in prison,
9:45
Speaker 1: you're alone. With all the other inmates. You're in prison,
9:49
Speaker 1: you're in bondage. But Jesus saves and he sets people free,
9:53
Speaker 1: and we have the ultimate freedom in Christ. That's why
9:56
Speaker 1: when people inmates get saved in prison, and people start
10:02
Speaker 1: flocking towards them because they want to know, how is
10:04
Speaker 1: it that they have this freedom, the supernatural freedom when
10:09
Speaker 1: they're in behind cages and locked up. It's an amazing thing,
10:13
Speaker 1: a gift of God. A man and only God could
10:16
Speaker 1: do that. So we have ultimate freedom in Christ. Jesus Amen.
10:22
Speaker 1: First Peter, Chapter one, verses three to five. The Bible says, Praised, honored,
10:28
Speaker 1: blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
10:33
Speaker 1: the Messiah, by his boundless mercy, we have been born
10:38
Speaker 1: again to an ever living hope through what the resurrection
10:44
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ from where from the dead verse four,
10:50
Speaker 1: born anew into an inheritance which is beyond the reach
10:55
Speaker 1: of change and decay. In other words, it's imperishable, unsullied
11:01
Speaker 1: and unfading, reserved in heaven for who for you verse five,
11:08
Speaker 1: who are being guarded garrisoned that's a military term. By
11:13
Speaker 1: God's power through your faith to you fully inherit that
11:19
Speaker 1: final salvation that is ready to be revealed. For who,
11:23
Speaker 1: for you? And when in the last time, This right here,
11:29
Speaker 1: if anything, will lift your spirits up today knowing that
11:34
Speaker 1: we're praising the right God, the God and Father of
11:40
Speaker 1: our Lord, Jesus Christ. And he's the Messiah, he's our Savior,
11:46
Speaker 1: his mercy is boundless. We're born again into an ever
11:50
Speaker 1: living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
11:55
Speaker 1: Apostle Paul says later on or before this, he says
11:59
Speaker 1: literally that if we don't have a resurrected Christ, then
12:03
Speaker 1: we are to be the most pitied. We don't have
12:08
Speaker 1: a gospel. If Jesus did not raise from the dead,
12:11
Speaker 1: we don't have good news. We don't have a gospel.
12:14
Speaker 1: We just have a mystical figure, a leader who is
12:21
Speaker 1: just mystical. But we have a living, holy, righteous, loving,
12:25
Speaker 1: resurrected Christ, one who is alive still and is sitting
12:29
Speaker 1: at the right hand of the throne. And he promises
12:32
Speaker 1: to come back for his church, for his bride. Amen.
12:36
Speaker 1: And we are those called out ones. We're not called
12:41
Speaker 1: to blend in. We're called to stand out. We're not
12:43
Speaker 1: called to be like everybody else will call it to
12:46
Speaker 1: be different. We're in this world, but we're not of
12:48
Speaker 1: this world. We are above, not below. We are already
12:53
Speaker 1: seated in heavenly places. We have this ultimate freedom. Whether
12:57
Speaker 1: we are having a good day a bad day, whether
13:00
Speaker 1: we lose a loved one, whether we're sick, or we
13:04
Speaker 1: have somebody in our family that's sick, we have this
13:07
Speaker 1: ultimate freedom. So do you realize that when we visit
13:10
Speaker 1: a sick relative, or a sick friend or brother in Christ,
13:14
Speaker 1: or even if they don't believe, we come with this
13:16
Speaker 1: freedom that's available to them now. Because real representing for
13:20
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God, we bring heaven everywhere we go, Amen,
13:24
Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit. That's why the Bible says
13:27
Speaker 1: we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover,
13:30
Speaker 1: how physically, maybe emotionally, maybe supernaturally maybe, but for sure
13:36
Speaker 1: we'll be bringing the freedom, We'll be bringing the love,
13:38
Speaker 1: we'll be bringing the good news to every single person
13:41
Speaker 1: who's sick. So when we lay hands, it's going to
13:44
Speaker 1: be a spiritual, supernatural transfer of life, not of death,
13:48
Speaker 1: but of life, and whatever God wants to do with
13:50
Speaker 1: that situation, whatever God wants to do with that time
13:53
Speaker 1: of the laying of the hands, he will get done. Amen.
13:56
Speaker 1: We just have to be willing to believe and willing
13:59
Speaker 1: to apply what we believe in real time. I've seen
14:03
Speaker 1: it happen myself. Amen. I've been available to go to
14:07
Speaker 1: hospitals and brothers and sisters in the best side and
14:11
Speaker 1: pray and lay hands and watch God encourage, watch God inspire,
14:15
Speaker 1: watch God comfort, watch God bringtur what is it courageousness
14:21
Speaker 1: or bring courage to those people who are sick. Amen.
14:26
Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't make it out the hospitals. A lot
14:30
Speaker 1: of times they do make it out the hospital. I
14:32
Speaker 1: can't tell you why some people get healed and some
14:35
Speaker 1: people don't. Cannot tell you why. All I could tell
14:37
Speaker 1: you is what the Word says. That we walk around free,
14:41
Speaker 1: we walk around with ultimate freedom. We walk around with
14:43
Speaker 1: the power of a living, holy, righteous, loving God. It's
14:48
Speaker 1: an amazing thing, Amen, is an amazing thing. So don't
14:53
Speaker 1: have vie the power of God that lives inside of you, Amen,
14:57
Speaker 1: and go for it. It's not the thing is that
15:01
Speaker 1: I used to think this way. How about if I
15:03
Speaker 1: pray for this person, nothing happens. That's how I used
15:06
Speaker 1: to think. But then I started realizing, Wait, it's not
15:10
Speaker 1: my word that's on the line. It's the word of
15:13
Speaker 1: God that's on the line. Amen, And God holds tight
15:16
Speaker 1: to his word. God make sure his word performs what
15:19
Speaker 1: his word is supposed to perform. It's not my reputation
15:24
Speaker 1: that's on the line, it's God's reputation that's on the line.
15:28
Speaker 1: So pray freely, Freely pray for people. Expect God to
15:32
Speaker 1: move on those prayers in those individuals' lives according to
15:35
Speaker 1: His will and his purpose for every individual person here
15:39
Speaker 1: on this planet Earth. There's no uniform with God. Just
15:43
Speaker 1: because I pray a prayer and somebody he gets healed,
15:47
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you can say pray the same prayer
15:49
Speaker 1: and you'll get the same result. Doesn't mean that God
15:51
Speaker 1: is so big that he could do things differently for
15:55
Speaker 1: every single prayer request, every single person, every single believer,
16:00
Speaker 1: every single non believer. He'll do what he wants to do,
16:04
Speaker 1: and he'll get it done ultimately, because he's the ultimate
16:07
Speaker 1: freedom giver. Amen. It's an ultimate authority, ultimate power, ultimate
16:11
Speaker 1: freedom giver. And we have the ultimate freedom in Christ, Jesus.
16:16
Speaker 1: What Jesus did for us gives us this freedom. His
16:21
Speaker 1: death brings ultimate freedom from fear of death right. So
16:26
Speaker 1: praise be to God, Praise be to the God and
16:30
Speaker 1: Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ. So when we speak
16:34
Speaker 1: this and when we call what Paul is speaking, when
16:37
Speaker 1: we call it out Amen, in real time and our lives,
16:40
Speaker 1: we are literally literally holding down heaven to earth. Amen.
16:46
Speaker 1: And by way of Holy Spirit. Because the resurrected Christ
16:50
Speaker 1: is where he's seated at the right hand of the Father.
16:53
Speaker 1: And who did he said? He sent his Holy Spirit
16:56
Speaker 1: to live in us. And what is Holy Spirit doing,
16:58
Speaker 1: leading us and guiding us, protecting us, comforting us, helping
17:01
Speaker 1: us into victory. So we have ultimate freedom. We're no
17:05
Speaker 1: longer in bondage. So people who say I'm still a
17:08
Speaker 1: sinner and they're born again, they're just not understanding the scriptures.
17:12
Speaker 1: They're not understanding what Jesus did and not understanding who
17:14
Speaker 1: they are in Christ, because we have ultimate freedom once
17:18
Speaker 1: we were born again. Good morning to the joice, I
17:20
Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
17:22
Speaker 1: the morning. Devo. My sister, my friend brother Frank said,
17:25
Speaker 1: I just wanted to thank you for visiting me when
17:28
Speaker 1: I was in the hospital for the foot surgery that
17:31
Speaker 1: I had and you pray for me to remind me
17:33
Speaker 1: that Jesus is still with me. Thank you for that
17:36
Speaker 1: and love you, my brother for that. Amen, my honor
17:39
Speaker 1: and my privilege to do that. Man. And yeah, it's
17:42
Speaker 1: just you know, love causes us to do things like that.
17:46
Speaker 1: And God had an outcome that he wanted to get through. Amen.
17:51
Speaker 1: And you're still with us. You're still alive. Amen. And
17:53
Speaker 1: you know you faced it yourself and you know the
17:56
Speaker 1: power of God. You know the power prayers. So thank
17:58
Speaker 1: you for sharing that. Honored and humbled by your comment.
18:01
Speaker 1: Brother Frank since Joy says, good morning everyone. God bless
18:05
Speaker 1: you and strengthen you in Jesus' name. Yes, we need
18:09
Speaker 1: to be encouraged. We need to be strengthened physically, emotionally
18:12
Speaker 1: and spiritually. That's why you always hear me, pray protection always.
18:18
Speaker 1: Every day is a new day. We have a challenging,
18:22
Speaker 1: defeated foe wants to disguise himself like a roaring lion,
18:27
Speaker 1: and he's looking for to see who he can devour,
18:30
Speaker 1: who he could kill, steal from, or destroy it. That's
18:34
Speaker 1: his job. But listen, we stand strong in the world
18:38
Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus, and we know that for sure we
18:41
Speaker 1: are doing a great work, because He's done a greater
18:44
Speaker 1: work inside of us, and we could do more exploits.
18:47
Speaker 1: The Bible said than even Jesus did on his temporary
18:51
Speaker 1: journey and missionary ministry on earth, that he had by
18:57
Speaker 1: way of what Holy Spirit, not by a guru, not
19:00
Speaker 1: by saying, not by phrases, not by cliches, but by
19:03
Speaker 1: the living Word of God. We can move and move
19:07
Speaker 1: well and have ultimate freedom because of the resurrected Christ.
19:12
Speaker 1: We're resurrected. I don't know about you, but my testimony,
19:15
Speaker 1: when I look back, I said, Man, I was dead
19:17
Speaker 1: and God raised me from the dead. Amen. I was
19:21
Speaker 1: in the dark, and God drew me out of the
19:24
Speaker 1: dark and put me into his marvelous light. I was blind,
19:29
Speaker 1: but now I could see right the amazing work of
19:33
Speaker 1: God through every single saved believer. Amen. We all have
19:37
Speaker 1: stories to tell. So go ahead and tell somebody your
19:40
Speaker 1: story of how God changed your life. How God set
19:43
Speaker 1: you free from addictions, from pornography, from lying and cheating
19:47
Speaker 1: and swearing. How He set you on a high seated
19:52
Speaker 1: place and heavily places in a realm that you would
19:54
Speaker 1: have never thought that God would be available to take
19:57
Speaker 1: you to Amen. The favor of God, the peace God,
20:00
Speaker 1: the love of God, the mercy of God, the grace
20:02
Speaker 1: of God. We have it all the full package. You're
20:05
Speaker 1: not half saved, you're all the way saved. You don't
20:08
Speaker 1: have to die to yourself. God wants you entirely. Amen.
20:11
Speaker 1: Deny your flesh, live in the spirit. That's what he
20:14
Speaker 1: wants us to do. He doesn't want us to die
20:17
Speaker 1: to ourselves. We are ourselves because God made us from
20:20
Speaker 1: the time of conception. He put our dna, put our personality.
20:24
Speaker 1: Everything was there, and it was a big blast of light.
20:27
Speaker 1: You ever saw those videos of when the sperm gets
20:31
Speaker 1: to a fertilized agg and it is fertilized as a
20:33
Speaker 1: blast of light. Amen. And that's God, that's his holy
20:37
Speaker 1: hands upon us, creating us in our mother's womb. Amen.
20:42
Speaker 1: So in a secret place of the mother's wound. The
20:45
Speaker 1: Bible says, so that's when life starts. And I know
20:48
Speaker 1: there's a big debate. Older life doesn't start to come
20:50
Speaker 1: out of the belly nonsense. Life starts at conception. God
20:55
Speaker 1: knew us before we knew who we were. God knew
20:59
Speaker 1: us before our parents knew who we were Amen, and
21:02
Speaker 1: he gave us what he calls the Law of the Lord.
21:05
Speaker 1: He wrote it on the heart through our DNA, and
21:07
Speaker 1: we come out. And when we're babies, we start saying no,
21:10
Speaker 1: it's already pre programmed in us because the sinful nature.
21:14
Speaker 1: But then he gives an opportunity to say yes to
21:17
Speaker 1: him and we get this ultimate freedom. We get saved,
21:20
Speaker 1: we get born again, we get empowered, we get encouraged. Amen,
21:24
Speaker 1: get spirit filled. We call it right feel by the
21:27
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. And no, we don't leak. We are sealed,
21:31
Speaker 1: signed and delivered. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit.
21:34
Speaker 1: We don't leak. Amen. God doesn't drip, His Holy Spirit
21:38
Speaker 1: doesn't drip out of us. We are filled with Holy Spirit.
21:41
Speaker 1: We are in union with Holy Spirit. We don't have
21:43
Speaker 1: to get closer to God. God is living in us.
21:46
Speaker 1: You can't get any closer than that. We are close
21:49
Speaker 1: to God and we are clean because of His blood
21:51
Speaker 1: that washed us clean, and we are ultimately free. The
21:54
Speaker 1: ultimate freedom is so valuable, at least to me. Amen,
22:00
Speaker 1: an amazing It's an amazing gift from God. Amen. I
22:05
Speaker 1: can't explain how he does it. I can tell you
22:08
Speaker 1: that he did it. Amen, If that makes sense. I'm
22:12
Speaker 1: not God. I'm a servant of the Most High God,
22:15
Speaker 1: so I don't understand everything of how he does what
22:18
Speaker 1: he does, but I just know he does it. If
22:21
Speaker 1: he promised you something, the promise is going to come
22:23
Speaker 1: to pass. If he spoke a word over your life,
22:26
Speaker 1: that word will come to pass. Even if we try
22:28
Speaker 1: to get in the way of those those promises and
22:31
Speaker 1: those prophetic words, Amen, He'll still get it done somehow, someway,
22:36
Speaker 1: because he loves us so much. He loves you so much,
22:38
Speaker 1: he loves me so much that he does not want
22:41
Speaker 1: us to be in shame and guilt. He doesn't want
22:44
Speaker 1: us to be unforgiving. He doesn't want us to be
22:46
Speaker 1: in bondage of sin and of the law of sin
22:49
Speaker 1: no any longer. He doesn't want that for us. He
22:52
Speaker 1: wants us to be free, and he gives us that
22:55
Speaker 1: ultimate freedom. How's that for a morning devo? How's that
22:59
Speaker 1: for encouragement? I know it's putting a smile on my face.
23:01
Speaker 1: I could feel the Spirit of God smiling Amen about you.
23:06
Speaker 1: He knows we need encourage me. He knows we go
23:10
Speaker 1: about day by day. I'm hoping and praying that he
23:13
Speaker 1: would do something in us and through us and for us,
23:16
Speaker 1: because we need him daily. He's our daily bread. He's
23:19
Speaker 1: our encourager, he's our spirit, he's our master. We are
23:23
Speaker 1: the service. But Jesus said, I don't call you my service,
23:27
Speaker 1: I call you my friend. Wow, we are friends of God.
23:30
Speaker 1: Yes we are, since joy says Amen, hallelujo. What a
23:34
Speaker 1: savior who can take a poor lord sinner and set
23:37
Speaker 1: him free? Yes, for sure. And now we deal with
23:41
Speaker 1: it differently. We deal with sin so differently now that
23:44
Speaker 1: we're born again, and that we realize that we have
23:46
Speaker 1: this ultimate freedom that when sin knocks on our door,
23:49
Speaker 1: we look at that thing and we say, whatever it is,
23:52
Speaker 1: we say, no, we don't have to serve sin anymore.
23:56
Speaker 1: We are not slaves to that sin anymore. We're not
24:00
Speaker 1: in bondage to that sin anymore. We are free. And
24:04
Speaker 1: who the sun sets free is what is free. Indeed,
24:08
Speaker 1: is free in our hearts, free on our minds, free
24:12
Speaker 1: to move about where God wants us to move. Amen,
24:14
Speaker 1: we have ultimate freedom. There's no greater freedom than the
24:18
Speaker 1: freedom that the Lord Jesus, the resurrect that Christ gives us.
24:22
Speaker 1: Apostle Paul was on fire when he wrote this because
24:24
Speaker 1: he goes a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
24:30
Speaker 1: Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that can
24:35
Speaker 1: never perish. Our inheritance doesn't perish, could never perish, can
24:39
Speaker 1: never spoil or fade. Kept in heaven for us right
24:46
Speaker 1: who through faith are shielded by God's power until when,
24:51
Speaker 1: until the coming of the salvation that is ready to
24:54
Speaker 1: be revealed in the last time. This is on reserve.
24:59
Speaker 1: We are living in free them now, but is a
25:01
Speaker 1: reserve far as in heaven. When Jesus cracks open the sky.
25:05
Speaker 1: I could just picture it him looking down at his creation.
25:09
Speaker 1: He's cracks open the sky, writing on the cloud of heaven,
25:11
Speaker 1: the son of Man, right, the same way you see
25:15
Speaker 1: it in the Book of Daniel, the Son of Man
25:16
Speaker 1: writing on a cloud. Man. What a day that's gonna be.
25:20
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a wonderful day for a believer. It's
25:22
Speaker 1: gonna be an awful day for a non believer. For
25:25
Speaker 1: those who reject the love of God, the Gospel of God,
25:28
Speaker 1: the good News of God, who reject Christ, Jesus as
25:31
Speaker 1: Lord and Savior, as God himself, it's gonna be a
25:34
Speaker 1: bad day. So my prayer is that you. If that's
25:38
Speaker 1: you and you're on the other side of the fence
25:40
Speaker 1: when it comes to being born again, when it comes
25:43
Speaker 1: to the Gospel, you have all these issues with the scriptures,
25:47
Speaker 1: and you're saying that, how could you believe something that
25:49
Speaker 1: man wrote. My question back to that is what have
25:54
Speaker 1: you read that has not been written by a man
25:56
Speaker 1: or a woman. I mean, he could use a don
25:59
Speaker 1: gave you one. He can use the alien if he wants,
26:02
Speaker 1: but he just so chose to use men to write
26:04
Speaker 1: down the scriptures. I don't have no I never had
26:07
Speaker 1: a problem with that because I knew what I was
26:09
Speaker 1: reading when I was in school was man written by man.
26:13
Speaker 1: But anyway, if that's you and you have all these
26:16
Speaker 1: excuses and these reasons why you don't believe that Jesus
26:19
Speaker 1: is exactly who he said he is, who the Prophet
26:21
Speaker 1: said he was, who God the Father said he is,
26:25
Speaker 1: then I suggest you investigate the claims of the Lord.
26:30
Speaker 1: Open a Bible. You could literally get it for free
26:33
Speaker 1: on a Bible app I'll give you a Bible, send
26:35
Speaker 1: your bible if you don't have one, and read the
26:38
Speaker 1: Book of John and experience the love of God that
26:42
Speaker 1: he has for you. Individually. I mean, if you get
26:46
Speaker 1: around a bunch of people that don't believe in Jesus
26:49
Speaker 1: as God, then you're going to keep on thinking that way.
26:52
Speaker 1: But when you'll have your alone time and you really
26:55
Speaker 1: want to see if this is all true, if you
26:57
Speaker 1: could get this ultimate freedom in your life, why wouldn't
27:00
Speaker 1: you want to be set free from the bondages of
27:03
Speaker 1: this world's system. Right, I don't have any attachments to
27:07
Speaker 1: this world a man. My attachments is Christ, Jesus, my wife,
27:12
Speaker 1: my children, my Body of Christ, my church. Right, those
27:16
Speaker 1: are my attachments and none of it, None of it
27:19
Speaker 1: has anything to do with the world. Think about it.
27:23
Speaker 1: We're not of this world. We're in this world, but
27:26
Speaker 1: we're part of a different kingdom from the Kingdom of God.
27:30
Speaker 1: And the only way you could get that key to
27:32
Speaker 1: the kingdom and that ultimate freedom is through the one
27:35
Speaker 1: who gave you the freedom, who gave you life, who
27:37
Speaker 1: gave you purpose, a man who saved you, who gave
27:40
Speaker 1: you that born again experience, who renewed your soul, saved
27:44
Speaker 1: your soul, renewed your mind, and restored your heart into
27:47
Speaker 1: the heart of God. That's Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth.
27:51
Speaker 1: So speak to him today. If that's you and you're
27:55
Speaker 1: not born again yet, let God know that you want
27:58
Speaker 1: this ultimate freedom. Asks him to forgive you for your sins,
28:02
Speaker 1: and he will forgive you. He will turn no one away,
28:05
Speaker 1: the Bible says, and you will be forgiven. You will
28:08
Speaker 1: be set free, and you'll get this ultimate freedom. Hey man,
28:12
Speaker 1: I hope you make that choice today. First Peter chapter
28:16
Speaker 1: number one. Read the whole chapter for yourself. I'm out
28:19
Speaker 1: of time, but thank you so much for hanging out
