0:04
On the family. Good morning, God, bless you welcome. It's Friday,
0:06
so you already know Friday's edition of Authentic Imitationlogy. This is episode number
0:12
eighty four. Man, we made it this far. Let's keep on going.
0:15
All glory to God by his grace, because of his grace, because
0:19
of his mercy. Amen, we're still here doing our authentic imitationology Fridays.
0:24
Amen. Hope and comfort today on the morning Devo. Amen. And who
0:30
doesn't need hope doesn't need comfort. Amen. We're living in the times and
0:35
that we could cherish those things, those two things that God gives us allows
0:39
us to experience in this side of eternity. When we live in this life
0:44
that God promised. Amen, we live it in abundance. We don't just
0:48
scrape day by day, and you know, scrape by Amen. And we
0:53
thankful. I'm thankful. I know for every single day, whether I have
0:56
a lot, well little, or anything in between, I know that I
1:00
could have hope and I can have comfort in Christ, in Jesus. Amen,
1:04
and authentic imitation knowalogy. This reminds me that we could imitate what Jesus
1:10
did. We can imitate God, we can imitate Christ as the apostles wrote
1:15
about him and experienced him and lived his lived their life out for him.
1:19
Amen. We can imitate that. A lot of people don't like to imitate.
1:23
They want to be the original. Amen. But I want to imitate
1:26
the original. Amen. I want to be like Christ. I want to
1:30
be like God. Amen. And we are becoming more and more like Christ
1:37
in our faith, in our walk. Trust Him, come more like Him.
1:42
Amen. And hope and comfort. So God is good. God is
1:46
faithful. And thank you so much for hanging out with me. If this
1:49
is your first time listening or watching, no mistake. You didn't make a
1:53
mistake. You came here on purpose. God has a plan for you.
1:57
God has a purpose that we're connecting together right now. And trust the process,
2:02
trust him, trust God's word. Amen. And this might be a
2:06
little uncomfortable for you, but it's okay. God will give you the comfort.
2:09
You might be at a place where you feel hopeless. I've been there.
2:15
But God provides hope. And the hope that God provides by the way,
2:19
never disappoints. When you put your hope, trust and faith in the
2:24
Lord, he will never disappoint you. I don't know if you know what
2:29
I'm talking about Amen, we're going to be In Second Corinthians, chapter number
2:34
one, verses three and four. Depression is a heavy burden and it feels
2:38
like there's no hope. God provides hope and comfort. A lot of people
2:46
are dealing with depression, anxiety, worry, fear, fear is huge,
2:52
and it's actually a market that Hollywood uses to make money off of fear of
2:57
all things. Right, and because he is not a spirit that God gave
3:00
us, fear is another spirit. Right. If God didn't give us a
3:05
spirit of fear, then where did that fear come from? So the world
3:07
capitalizes on fear tactics. They put in the movies, they put it on
3:13
social media, they put in the news, they put it in politics,
3:15
they put it all over the place because for some reason, for whatever reason,
3:20
they know they could draw more people to a story that could make them
3:24
afraid of something than to a story that would make them full of hope,
3:29
joy, peace and all that good stuff. Right, it's just the way
3:34
the world system wires things, right, and they work on people's emotion and
3:39
they manipulate people. And if you were with me last time, it's the
3:43
mind control. There's a battle going off for the minds of the people.
3:49
Loing my mind, c louting your mind. There's a battle going on.
3:53
But we know that when we're depressed and we feel a heavy burden right or
3:59
when we're going through a season of worry or in season of anxiety or even
4:03
anger and fear, God provides hope and comfort Tewod Corinthians, chapter number one,
4:11
Versus three and four. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
4:15

5:41
You're blessed, the ministry is blessed and the organizational company is blessed as
5:46
well. So if you want you have it, Amen is there for you.
5:50
So that's what we do at Celebrating Networks. So see that word g
5:55
hope and comfort. Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll shut this
5:58
out for like sixty seconds, and on the other side of the sixty seconds
6:01
when we come back, we'll dive right into the scripture for today. Second
6:05
Corinthians Chapter number one Versus three and four. Thank you, Lord God for
6:11
today. Thank you, Lord God for the peace. Thank you, Look
6:15
God for the protection. Thank you Look God for your authority, your power
6:17
that's working through us and in us. Thank you for keeping us humble and
6:21
keeping us meek, power under control. Thank you, Lord God for your
6:26
direction, your purpose, your plan over our lives. I pray a hedge
6:30
of protection over every single person listening and watching right now. I pray that
6:34
same hedge of protection over me, my family, our household, our ministry,
6:39
our businesses, organizations that were connected to our church family. I pray
6:44
peace, be still and know that you, Lord God, are God and
6:47
sovereign, and you provide hope and comfort in the days that we need it.
6:53
And last of my check, Lord Jesus, we need hope and comfort
6:56
every single day. So I speak life, I speak peace. I set
7:00
forth and dispatch arquen angels to annihilate the tactics of the enemy over our lives
7:05
and the plans that will be destroyed that the enemy is trying to do harm
7:14
to us. I pray against those things in the powerful name of Jesus.
7:16
Yes she wihamashiek, and I pray to God that the power that you will
7:20
display today through your word will be the evidence of being able to trust you,
7:27
and being able to hope and put our comfort and hope in you,
7:31
and know that you are with us, in us and working through us in
7:34
the powerful name of Jesus. I praise by faith, and everyone who agrees,
7:38
we say, Amen, and Amen, Let's go for it. Help
7:41
me share this soup sixty seconds. Help me share this to as many people
7:44
as possible. When we come back, we'll get right into it. Hope
7:46
and comfort. Second Corinthians, chapter number one, verses three and four.
9:26
Right or right back again. Let's go for it, hope and comfort.
9:31
The scripture right here, I believe will bless you. Amen. I believe
9:35
the whole word of God is a blessing. Right. And the reason why
9:39
I say that is because sometimes you read the scripture back. Why is that
9:41
there? Why we God allow that? How can God allow that? Why
9:46
did this person go that direction? Why did this person go that direction?
9:52
And over and over again. So we have questions. God has answers.
9:56
And I believe that every time God shows up through word, through people,
10:01
through experience, through life, Amen, is a blessing. Amen. So
10:05
this I expect this to be a blessing as well. God bless you,
10:07
brother Frank. It's good to see you in the morning dev with my friend
10:11
and my bro God bless you. Thank you so much for coming through so
10:15
Second Corinthians, chapter one, verses three and four. Let's get this ready
10:18
for the screen. For those who are just listening, you already know.
10:20
I'm going to read it line for line. Mess Just because you don't see
10:24
an image on the screen when you're just listening, doesn't mean that God can't
10:28
create that image in your mind and in your heart. Amen. And that's
10:31
my prayer as we go through today for the listeners as well. Right,
10:37
no one left behind, no one left out. The information is transformational.
10:41
Amen, imitationology, authentic imitationology. Amen. Let's go forward, hope and
10:46
comfort you ready. Second Corinthians, chapter number one, verses three and four.
10:52
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
11:00
making him the Son of God, not a son of God, but these
11:03
son of God. God is our merciful Father, and the source here.
11:11
It is of all comfort. When you feel that comfort in your spirit and
11:16
your life and your soul, that comfort comes from the Father, the Father
11:20
of our Lord Jesus, who is God who came in the form of a
11:24
man to give us the perfect example of how to live this life out.
11:31
We imitate the Lord Jesus because he is God incarnate. He's God that became
11:39
man. God is our merciful father and the source of all comfort. He
11:46
comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When I'm
11:52
experiencing trouble. You know what the secret is, I start praying for others,
11:56
and I start connecting with others and trying to make others fear more comfortable,
12:01
because I know if I'm going through trouble, that means other people are
12:03
going through trouble. We're never alone when we go through trouble. We're never
12:07
alone when we go through trials. We're never alone when we feel depressed and
12:11
hopeless. We're never alone when we have this anxiety attacks like that. We're
12:15
never alone. So what I do is I start seeking out the people who
12:18
might be going through something, and I pray for them a man, and
12:22
we'll go through it together. Just like God comforts me and times that I
12:26
need it, we are using that same comfort from God, and we're going
12:31
to comfort someone else, and in turn, those people who are blessed by
12:35
God in those situations, in those areas of life, they will want to
12:39
bless somebody else. It's contagious, Amen. The goodness of God is contagious,
12:46
So He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort
12:50
others when they are troubled. We will be able to give them the same
12:54
comfort God has given us. You see how that works. God is not
12:58
wasting anybody's pain. Right, is a process that God will allow us to
13:03
go through, So that way we could make a decision to go and help
13:07
others when they're experiencing pain, help others when they're in trouble, help others
13:11
when they feel that there's no hope. Hope and comfort is a perfect way
13:16
for God to express his love for us his children, and we could express
13:20
the same for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen. And those who
13:24
are outside of the body of Christ, they need hope and comfort as well.
13:28
How would they experience the love and kindness of God? If we,
13:33
the sons and daughters of God don't go reach out to them. They might
13:37
reject the Godspel, They might reject the Bible. They might not go to
13:39
church, but we are the church, and we might be the only Bible
13:43
they will ever experience. We will be the only lives that they will ever
13:46
see as Christ followers that obey and that love God. So let's go for
13:52
it. Don't hold back hope and comfort God, and hope back hope and
13:56
comfort from us. So we shouldn't be holding back and comfort to those who
14:01
need it around us. Amen. Does that make sense? I hope it
14:03
makes sense. Amen, I hope it makes sense. Just the joint,
14:07
I see you, Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
14:09
the morning. Devo my system and my friend. So that's what I have
14:13
today, hope and comfort. Every single day. I'm looking for hope and
14:16
comfort every single day. I need the Lord every single day. I need
14:20
his word every single day. I need to hear from God. I need
14:24
to know from God. I need to respond because of God. If I
14:30
do anything on my own, not out of ten times, it will probably
14:33
go wrong and it won't benefit me, it won't benefit anything or anyone else.
14:39
So I try to stay. People say continually filled with the Holy Spirit.
14:43
I'm like, yeah, the Holy Spirit never leaves me, will never
14:46
leave you. We're in union with Christ. Because of the Holy Spirit.
14:50
We are being taught, we are being led, we are being purposed,
14:54
we are being fueled, we are being empowered by Holy Spirit. God.
14:58
So let's move in that power and that's moving that love. Let's move in
15:01
that grace. Let's move in that mercy. Let's move when it comes to
15:05
hope and comfort. Do you know right now somebody is feeling hopeless? Do
15:09
you know right now somebody has anxiety? Do you know right now somebody is
15:13
hopeless and needs comfort depressed? Yes, somebody right now is going through that.
15:20
That could be you right now. Amen, we just read that our
15:24
Father in heaven Amen, is present with us right now by way of his
15:31
Holy Spirit. He gives us this perfect hope, and he gives us this
15:35
perfect comfort, Amen. And he allows us to face things together or with
15:41
him because he loves us so much that he wants us to experience what it
15:45
means to get this hope and comfort. Praise be to the God and Father
15:52
of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of
15:58
all comfort. That I love that the God of all comfort, the Father
16:04
of compassion, who comforts us in all our troubles, not just, you
16:10
know, not just when you having a toothache, not just when you bang
16:15
your thumb over with a hammer. Those are those things hurt, right,
16:19
not only those things physically, but emotionally as well. Our thoughts, the
16:25
pain that we go through when we lose a loved one, or when we're
16:29
feeling alone and isolated, when we're feeling depressed, when we're feeling anxious,
16:33
when we start to worry, we see things that's happening in the world,
16:37
and worries strives to live inside of us or live in our minds. You
16:42
know. Don't rent your mind out, or your brain out, or your
16:45
thought process out, your thought life out to fear and to worry. Don't
16:51
cast those things out and keep those thoughts under the obedience of the Lord Jesus.
16:56
Why because those things will linger, and those things will cause even physical
17:02
problems sickness, right, illness could really be spark because of worrying and anxiety.
17:10
So although we might go through those things sometimes and we might face those
17:15
troubles, sometimes we could go to our Father. And that's why I can
17:21
understand, you know, I don't. People have their reasons why they're not
17:25
believing in God, why they're not going to church, why they're not Christians.
17:29
They have all kinds of reasons. But after a while, when you
17:33
try to do your things the things your own way, what sense doesn't it
17:37
make or does it make for you not trying Jesus Amen, what does it
17:44
benefit you? If that's you and you're like, nah, I don't want
17:48
no parts of religion. I don't want no parts of God. The Bible
17:52
is this, and the Bible is that, and mistakes and errors have all
17:56
those so called reasons of why you're not put in your life, or you're
18:00
not putting your faith, hope and trust in the living, loving God,
18:04
and you're just living your life aimless pretty much. Or you might be a
18:07
part of another religion that seems controllable or attainable or achievable, or you know,
18:15
mostly controllable. People want God, a God in their life that they
18:19
can control and manipulate. And the fear of coming and approaching the living,
18:26
Holy, righteous, loving God is a fear that if I go towards Jesus,
18:32
if I go to God, then my life will change. Yes,
18:37
it will change, and for good, not for bad, not for words,
18:41
but for good. And people have told me, and even I have
18:45
experienced. As soon as you get close to God, a man, it
18:48
seems like you're worse off than when you started. Like I should have mined
18:53
my business and stood outside of the Kingdom of God and I would have still
18:57
been good. But that's just the false reality that this world paints that you
19:04
don't need God. You could be autonomous, you could have your own thing
19:08
going on, you could be your own God. And those are the lies
19:12
and tactics that the world system is using. I really amped up by the
19:18
enemy, and he's the one that's instigating all of that. But we have
19:23
hope, right, we will be comforted. Holy spirite God is the comforter
19:30
as well. I hope you know that, right, the comforter. Why
19:33
would we need to be comforted because this world is out of bounds. This
19:38
world is the system of this world will make you uncomfortable. Guess what else
19:45
makes you uncomfortable. God's word will make us uncomfortable too, Why because it's
19:51
prompting us to do something to move out of our comfort zone. A lot
19:56
of people's comfort zones are hiding out. I was trying to hide for years,
20:02
but it didn't work. I try to hide my ministry. I try
20:06
to hide the annoying thing of God over my life. I try to hide,
20:11
you know, being an evangelists. Why because I was getting I want
20:18
to say attacked, but people were taking it the wrong way as if I
20:23
if I did, I thought I was somebody other than who God called me
20:26
to be. And you know, for whatever reason, people want to tell
20:32
me face to face, but they would throw indirects. How many people know
20:37
about indirects. They're not saying your name, but they're speaking of you.
20:42
I do that sometimes, Amen, to protect the innocent, but out of
20:47
love for what I do for the scriptures. Amen, I really don't say
20:52
names because I don't want to hurt nobody and I don't want to insult nobody.
20:56
But the spirit of God will move. It's happened to me hundreds of
21:00
times when I know that was for me. Amen. When you know God
21:06
is speaking to you through a person, it might not be comfortable, the
21:11
discussion might not be easy. But if it's out of love, it's out
21:15
of compassion, because what it's God, God is the father of all compassion.
21:21
Amen. When you do it out of God's compassion, if the other
21:25
person that's receiving that compassion, if the other person is receiving that hope and
21:29
that comfort in that way, and it might not seem easy in the beginning,
21:33
and the words might not be going well to that person, but at
21:38
the long run, in the long run, if they receive what God is
21:41
saying, they will receive the comfort. When you're in trouble, and when
21:45
you need comfort, we get it from God. So that way we ourselves
21:51
can go to others so they can receive that same hope and that same comfort
21:56
in any trouble, in any situation. Amen, hope and comfort is available
22:02
to us. We have a father who is limitless. We have a father
22:06
who loves us, who cares for us, who directs us, who chastens
22:11
us, who who rebukes us in love, He directs us, he corrects
22:18
us in love, Amen, all of it. He's not gonna leave his
22:21
children in a straying position like going away hopeless. When you have God,
22:27
you have hope. We're going to be in trouble sometimes, right, We're
22:32
gonna face troubles in life because life is just that way. And in our
22:36
troubles, He's going to provier hope and comfort. That's what I'm gonna say
22:40
today, is that's what I know, and as imitators of Christ, Amen,
22:45
when we're going through trouble, just know that you're not alone. When
22:48
we need hope, just know. And when you feel hope hopeless, just
22:52
know that you're not alone. So we could turn that negativity, if that's
22:56
what you want to call it, into something positive, if that's what you
23:00
want to call it. By way of holding spirit, we go to others
23:03
and help. And my worst of times, Amen, I've been helping people
23:07
because I know God is helping me. This is a selfless act of love.
23:12
What Jesus did for us selfless. Amen. It wasn't a selfish thing.
23:18
And if it was selfish, then we wouldn't be here right now because
23:21
Jesus would have been like, you know what, forget the whole deal.
23:25
I'm not dying for anyone of these people who don't believe in me, who
23:30
hate me, who mock me, who beat me, who put me on
23:33
his cross, even though he laid down his life for us. But you
23:37
know what I mean. He could have just said, instead of saying,
23:41
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do, Jesus
23:44
could have said, Father, I'm out of here. Don't forgive them then
23:48
deserve it, and then he could have got off that cross and there would
23:52
be no gospel. But about that, people don't look at Jesus like that,
23:56
Amen, or maybe they do. For the matter is that he did
24:00
lay down his life for us, and he showed us that if we ever
24:04
needed hope, that if we ever needed comfort, that if we're in trouble,
24:07
we could go to him. We could go to him because we have
24:11
a father in heaven that saw what the Son did on earth. Amen.
24:18
And not only that, when you go to Jesus and you ask him to
24:21
forgive you for your sins, he will send his Holy He will forgive you
24:25
and send his Holy Spirit to live inside of you every day of your life.
24:30
Songs that we hear sometimes fill me up. And all this other stuff
24:36
about holy Spirit, it seems like it seems like they're trying to say,
24:40
the spirit leaves you and comes back. Spirit leaves you and comes back not
24:44
biblical. When you have Holy Spirit, God, the Holy Spirit takes residents,
24:48
lives inside of every single one of his children. Amen. We have
24:52
a union with Jesus. This thing about spirit leaving and coming back, I
24:57
need re feel, I need to refeel or this thing about I need more
25:00
of Holy Spirit. God's unbiblical show me where in the scriptures it says you
25:07
need more of what God has already given you by way of His Holy Spirit
25:11
after you're born again, hope and comfort. This is episode number eighty four
25:18
of authentic commentationality. It's good to be back on this Friday session. So
25:22
