Natural Disasters [Morning Devo] · The BLAZE (Bible Study)

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God bless you. Welcome back
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. It's your brother Sam Lopez aka
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: DJ Sam Rock and you're watching or listening to the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo today and we're gonna get right into it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We know from the time of this recording, there is
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a tremendous hurricane, Hurricane Milton. It's hitting Florida. And I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have a lot of friends and family members on my
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: wife's side and some you know for family members over
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: there in Florida in all parts. So I'm not sure
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: where they all are. Amen, what part are they in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the direction or in the path of the hurricane? But
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I said, yesterday I was watching a brother in Christ
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of mind and Florida, him and his wife praying for
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: their state of Florida. Amen, and ask them some questions
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and they will give me some information of what they knew.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: They were forty five minutes away from the actual will
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: landfall of Milton. But with those hurricanes, I was thinking
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: about it, and I was like, why do natural disasters happen?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And I know somebody else was asking that I could
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just sense it and I just know it. So the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Lord prompted me and he said, not my fault. Basically,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the Lord prompted me in my spirit and say it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: not my fault. In other words, people are going around
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: thinking that natural disasters are caused by God to punish people,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: or to punish territories, or to punish regions. And I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: here to tell you that's not the truth. A man,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be in John chapter three, verse seventeen. We're
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: gonna start there, and we're gonna talk today about natural disasters.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And respectfully, I'm not downplaying. I'm not trying to capitalize
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: or over spiritualize this hurricane. There's been hurricanes in Florida.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: They have back to back hurricanes. North Carolina got hay
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Hard from the sima's recording, you'll know about. It's all
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: over the news, and this is tough. People are dying.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And I heard a testimony or audio testimony on the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: radio yesterday of how peoples in North Carolina were met
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: when Love showed up and it Samaritan's Purse showed up.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Ministry that has boots on the ground, Convoy of Hope
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground, and it's other ministries all around
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the world that when the disaster hits, they literally send
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: family families. They risked their lives to go and help
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: other families, and that hurts, That hurts and hits my
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: heart a man, in a good way. It shows me
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that there's people who still care about humanity. It's still
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: people who love. And when love shows up and the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: disaster and love shows up in a situation where you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: need help, people are throwing into a loop by that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They're not used to being helped out. So it's an
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: amazing thing, a man, when that happens. They have lost
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: my audio. It's gonna be a lot of things going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on on the internet because of power lines and all
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that stuff that go down that are connected to websites
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and all that other stuff that happens. Amen, So my
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: apologies on the radio. If you get glitches, that's because
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they probably have servers in the areas that are being
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: hit right now by the Harburt Kane. Amen. And it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be out of my control, but we're gonna we're
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gonna keep it moving, man, So hope and pray that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: everything still works out. It seems like the audio is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: still there, but I'm losing signal so man, so it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all my heart heavy. So let me just read what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I wrote, Amen, to start this off, and then we'll pray.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns. It's gonna be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like a Q and A Amen, prayer, Morning Devo prayer,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Amen and Q and A. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: pray requests or anything along those lines. If you know
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: people in Florida, if you have family in Florida, if
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you're in Florida yourself right now and somehow you're watching
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: or listening, Amen, just know that we over here in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: northeast Pennsylvania, we're concerned. Amen, at least we're concerned here
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: my family, our ministry, and my church. We have Convoy
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of Hope that we are partner with. This partnership going
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: on on Celebrated Network with Convoy of Hope too, which
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: has boots on the grounds of all disasters and all
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: kinds of things that happen around the world. Amen, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: we're on partnership with that. You could hit the link
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: at Celeradio network. So when is with a z do
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: org is a banner, says convert of Hope. Hit that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: link and you see how you can help. You can
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: see how they can be supported, and you can see
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on what they do all around the world. Amen. The
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: New Testament. The New Testament reveals that God is not
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the author of disaster or punishment through such events like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: God is not the one that's provoking those things. God
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is not the one that's using those things to punish people. No,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's not the guy that we serve. Amen. And we're
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: going to see that in John chapter three, verse seventeen.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: A Man, we're going to see a glimpse of it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Because remember this is a morning devot, and I can
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: get too in depth because of the times, the time
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that I have set up for the morning DeVos. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I pray and I hope that Holy Spirit God will
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: really inspire you to go into the scriptures for yourself,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: for guidance, for comfort, Amen, for knowledge, for wisdom, for understanding,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for salvation. Amen. The Word of God is powerful. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of things going on in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Florida and around the world. There's wars, there's natural disasters,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: there's famines in some parts of the world, all kinds
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of things going on, and people actually think I literally
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: heard that voice in my mind. I could hear hundreds
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of people thinking that God is punishing them for whatever reason,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and he's using natural disasters to do it. And I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: here to give you good news that that's not from God.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm here to give you truth, gospel truth in John
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: chapter three, verse seventeen. So let's pray. After we pray.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: We shared this out for like sixty seconds, and then
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: when we come back we'll get right into it. This
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is going to be sort of like Q and A
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and also prayer more more than anything. Amen. So let's pray. Father.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I thank you, I thank you, Thank you Lo God
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for the safety of all your children right now the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Some people who could not evacuate their territory,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: their city in Florida had to stay and literally weather
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: out the storm. I pray Love got a head of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: protection that you would set forth your arkmen, angels, ministering angels,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and all the angels that will help the children of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: God and those who are desperate need right now, who
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: are calling your name. I pray Lord God peace over
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: their hearts and mind, safety, life, Lord God, not death.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And I pray against anything that this natural disaster, this storm,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this tornado, this hurricane, or will try to bring down.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that you will hold things up,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: houses will not be removed from their foundations, in the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, the Lord God, that you will protecting
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: God and give understanding and comfort and wisdom to those
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: who are in the eye of the storm, who are
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in the path of this hurricane. I pray that the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: winds will stop and slow down or stop in the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, and the disaster will turn into something peaceful,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and Lord God, that it will be dissipated, that it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: will be stop in the name of Jesus. But for
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, Lord God, if you allow with this storm
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and the path of the storm to wreak disaster in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that territory, for whatever reason, Lo God, we know you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: are sovereign, we know you're in control, We know you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are trustworthy. We know that you're not call causing the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: pain and suffering. We know that you are loving, holy,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: righteous God, and we know that you are a savior,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: our savior. And I pray for all those who have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground right now in the name of Jesus,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that you will help them keep them safe. And those
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: who are in the ambulances, and those who are in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the fire departments and those who are providing food and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: shelter for people who are in desperate need of help.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I pray that all that and the money that's needed
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and everything the ministries that are going that you look,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: God inspire all the people in charge, all the leaders,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to do the right thing according to your purpose and plan.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And Jesus Name, I pray is by faith over the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: state of Florida, over North Carolina and those surrounding territories
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that are in pain right now and suffering, and in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the eye that storm or in the path of that hurricane.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: In Jesus Mighty Name, I pray it's by faith. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: those who agree we say amen and amen. Yeah. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: there's things going on right now. It's out with the network. Apologies,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but let's go for it. Hey man, Let's keep moving.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Help me share this out for like sixty seconds. When
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today. I'm calling
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this one natural disasters, sort of like a Q and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: A and prayer session. So I'll be right back. Let
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: me put the minute up, and when we come back,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into it. I'll be right back, hey man,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: A man, I'm trying to figure out what's going on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: over at my audio section over here? Hey man, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: we I'm just gonna assume that it's because of the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: servers in that territory that's holding me captive here. When
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it comes to the audio Willing, everything's going smooth over there,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Celeratum network, so wins with his z do org so
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's back up. So the morning Devo
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: natural disasters, We're gonna pray amen and really be a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: communate source of community. I know a lot of people
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: have questions why do these natural disasters happen? And why
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: does God allow? Right? This is a question when something
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like this happens, It's always a question why does God
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: allow bad things to happen to good people? Man? And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: respective expect that question, But also what about this? Have
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you ever thought about why? Why does God allow bad
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: people to experience good things? It's just the power love,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: grace of God, and man, it is so tremendous. It
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is a hype of grace. Right, God's grace over my
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: life tremendous. God's grace over your life tremendous. And when
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it rains and reigns on the just and the unjust,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and reigns on the rich and reigns on the poor,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and reiins on the good people, and it reigns on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the bad people. As a matter of fact, biblically speaking,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: none of us are good. The only ones that are
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: found good in the side of God is those who
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: are filled with His spirit, because God is the only
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: one who is good and holy spirit. God is good. Amen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So it seems real quiet here on the morning devot
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: when on the chat for reasons that I know a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people have people and family members over those
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: territories they men, and listen, let me encourage you. Don't worry.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Worry is not going to do anything for you. It's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: not going to add to your life. It's actually going
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to take from your time. It's going to take from
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: your mindset, going to take from your health. That's why
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, do not worry about anything. But we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: know that when you love someone and you have a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: family member and harms reach, we start going into different mindsets.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But let's stay focused and let's pray and let's hope
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the best because God wants the very best for us. Amen.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So get back into what I was doing here, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: actually we doing all my stories so that way people
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know that we're live. So let me get this on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the screen. I want to show you something, Amen, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: notice will encourage you and to a lot of people
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: this will be surprising. Amen. I never take I never
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: assume that everyone knows the scriptures. I never assume that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: everybody that comes through the more in Devo are believers.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But I know for sure that people who don't know
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, Amen, will really get revelation when they read it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: In other words, they might have thought of something for
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: years and years and years, something that they might have heard,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: maybe from a family member, maybe from a so called
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Christian that's really not serving the Lord, some sayings and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: some teachings that they've grown up, and then when they
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: read the scriptures, they'll be like, wow, I never knew
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that I was there. And I think this is one
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of the scriptures that a lot of people overlook or
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: probably never knew they were there. And it's okay. No
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: one has to be a theologian that comes to the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: morning Devo. Amen, It's okay, I'm not. This is not
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a test, it's not a quiz. This is the word
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of God. And I believe with all my heart that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the word of God is truth, the Gospel truth. Amen,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: it's true what God is doing, what God is saying.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Natural disasters. Here, let me show you something real quick
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and John chapter three, verse seventeen. Amen. And I believe
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: this is written and read in some Bibles. A man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but let's just read what the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: apostle John was a spirted to wrote. For God did
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: not send did not send the son capital s the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Son s O N s U N into the world
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to judge and condemn the world, that is, to initiate
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the final judgment of the world. That but that the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: world might be saved through him. Ladies and gentlemen. A
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: lot of people are thinking that these natural disasters are
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: being caused by God to condemn the world, to judge
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the world, to punish people. No, Jesus is the judge. Absolutely.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: You know, when people say only God could judge me,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: they're totally right. But listen to this. That's for the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: final judgment of the world. When he was sent, when
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Sun was sent, it was on a rescue mission,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: not a judgmental mission, not a condination mission, not a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: punishment mission. It was a salvation mission. For God did
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: not send the Sun into the world to judge and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: condemn the world, that is, to initiate the final judgment
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of the world, but that the world might be saved
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: through Jesus. We see that. We know that, and I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: know you know deep down in your heart, people know
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that God is not punishing man, brother Frank, God bless you.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: It's good to see you on the morning. Devo now
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: punishing us. He's not sending hurricanes in your direction, tornadoes
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in your direction. He's not provoking those things. He's promoting peace.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: He is the Prince of peace. And like I said earlier,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a brother in Christ and his wife were online live
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: frame for the state of Florida and they're actually in
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and my brother in Christ, Anthony Raymonds,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: he was saying, listen, man, I'm here to promote peace.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: To promote peace, amen, because in chaos he has understanding,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: just like I have the understanding. When there's chaos, there's
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: also peace. Peace. Be still. Literally, there's gonna be some testimony.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You probably won't see it. You probably won't see it
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: on national TV, major networks, but I could guarantee it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be some testimonies of brothers and sisters in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Christ in Florida speaking to that storm and as far
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: as it gonna move out the way, Amen, that's right,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because we have the living God living inside of every
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: single one of those people who call themselves believers, who
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: know they're the believers, we're children of God. And just
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: like when Jesus was on that boat and the disciples
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: were on that boat and a storm came and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: winds blew, and Jesus got up from his sleep, because
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he's the Prince of peace, he was at peace and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: said stop or peace to the winds. A man of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: what happened. Why is it that we want to have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the same authority over nature that the Lord has? Because
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: last time I checked his spirit, no one, just like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus is living inside of us now. Natural disasters cause
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of chaos, a lot of destruction. Amen. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: cannot tell you why these things happen. I could just
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: tell you that it wasn't God who promoted or provoked
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it to happen. It wasn't God that uses these disasters,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: these natural disasters, to punish any one of us. Amen,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: He's not punishing us. The Bible says that Jesus took
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the punishment of sin of the whole world upon himself.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yet he himself did not sin. So, in other words,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: he didn't deserve the punishment that he received. He took
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the punishment on our behalf rescue men. Salvation mission, a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: mercy mission, a mission of grace. Amen. Because he's a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: guy who loves, not a God who hates us. He
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: hates sin, he doesn't hate his creation. Amen. Amen, Praise
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Sister Joys. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: back to the morning. Deve with my sister. We're gonna
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: pray from the state of Florida. A man, I just
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to clear things up when people have in their
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: mind that God is using these natural disasters to punish
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: people all around the world, and just that's not true.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It's not the God that we serve. God that we
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: serve is full of mercy. The God that we serve
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: is full of grace. The God that we serve is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: full of love and truth and man, Almighty God. Yet
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the gentle Spirit, can God stop the natural disaster? Absolutely?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent? Why does he allow it? Listen those
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: type of questions. I don't know why he allows certain
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: things to happen, but I could tell you this, when
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: things like this do happen, you to see Love showing
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: up in situation where people are in desperate need of help,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: when people are in despinited of hope, when people are
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: in despiny of love, when people are in despin need
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of grace and mercy, God shows up. Love shows up
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in those natural disasters. You see it all the time
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: when the ministers of the Gospel go to these torn
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: up areas and these devastated areas with the love of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Christ and their boots on the ground ready to help.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Talk about evangelists, you talk about love, we talk about grace,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you talk about mercy. Amen, look at the people of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: God how we respond in these natural disasters, and then
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you get to see that there is a guy who
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: loves that, there is a God who saves that. It
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: is a God who wants the very best for the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: families out there that are struggling through the storm. Amen. Yes,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: he did for our mercy. God was on the rescue mission.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: He completed the job. Amen, Jesus completed. He said it
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: is finished. He didn't say he was finished, He said
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it is finished them. The mission that he was accomplishing
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: had been done. Had been done. Hey man, And I'm
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: in the wrong notes. My apologies. Let me get back
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to my notes here. So natural disasters, they're challenging, right
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all right to understand, especially when you're trying to reconcile
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: your thoughts and trying to say, well, isn't the nature
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of God? Right? Is that the nature of God? Isn't
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: God in control of nature? Yes? He is. He's the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: author and perfector also of our faith. He was Chapter twelve,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: verse two. God is not the author of our pain
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: or suffering. Hey man, the devil is a liar. I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: think the last thought, original thought that the devil had
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: was in Genesis chapter three, when he confused Eve, when
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: he deceived Eve. I think that was his only the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: last thoughts, his first and last thought that was original.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Everything now that he's doing is a copy of a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: copy of what he did before. He doesn't change, he
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't do anything new, because he's not a creator. He's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a deceiver. He's a liar. He's going around telling people
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that God is using natural disasters to punish them for
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that sin and this sin, and to punish territories. That's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a lie from the pit of hell, and man, it
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: smells like smoke. It's not from God. God is not
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the author of our pain and suffering. Instead, he's the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: author and perfective of our faith. In this world, we're
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: going to face trouble, but Jesus assures us that He
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: has overcome this world John sixteen thirty three. So this
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: whole idea that God is sending disasters as a formal
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: punishment is not supported by the New Testament. You could
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: have go in the Old Covenant and you could to
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: probably bring up scriptures to say, look, God did this,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and God did that, and he was a god to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: arrive from the Old Covenant, and he's a God immersing
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the New the same God that was in the Old Covenant.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: It's the same God that's in the New Covenant. Amen.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The difference is how he responded. The differences the history
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of the people. The differences is how he dealt with
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: people in the Old Covenant compared to the New Testament.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But it's the same God. A man is not a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: God of wrath, and the Old not a God of mercy,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and the New it's the same God. God's agender is
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to save the world, to save the world through the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. We already read that in John chapter three,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: verse seventeen. Is the world through Jesus Christ, not to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: judge it with calamities. John twelve forty seven. I'll give
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you these scriptures so you could pray with these scriptures, Amen,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: John twelve forty seven. The troubles that we experience are
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: often as a result of living in a fallen world.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: This world is broken, the system is horrible. The world's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: system is corrupt a man, there's a lot of pain,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of suffering. It wasn't like that Genesis
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: chapter one. It wasn't like that Genesis chapter three two.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: As soon as Adam and Eve fell and they disobey God, sin, sickness, disease, death, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: all that that's happening now was because of the fall
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of man and the world became broken, and it created
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a need for a redeemer. He created a need for
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a savior, and that savior and that redeemer lives. His
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: name is the Lord Jesus. So I suggest the people
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: in Floridas call upon the name of the Lord. Amen.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And all the situations that they're facing, those who couldnot
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: evacuate because they had no place to go. Those who
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: are out there in the eye of the storm. Those
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: who are out there, and the path for the storm, Amen,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and the path for the hurricane. Call upon the name
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus, Speak his life, Speak his word
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a man over your family right now, and trust and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: hope that God will have the very best for you.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And you will seeing angelic hosts. You will see people
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: on them with boots on the ground. You would experience angels,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you would experience the love of God, the grace of God,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the mercy of God, the protection of God. Speak life,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: speak Psalm ninety one over your situation right now, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: we're gonna pray that I mean a man with a
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes that we have before we leave. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the troubles we experience are result of a fallen world,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: not direct acts of God. God desires peace and salvation,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: not chaos and calamity. Tewod Peter chapter three, verse nine.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So in these times of disaster, I pray, Lord God
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: right now that this Milton, this hurricane will stop according
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to your willing purpose. And Lord God, that people will
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: not see this as punishment, but they will see it
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: as something that happens in a falling broken world. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Father God, I hope and pray that people can see
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: this as an opportunity to show the love and to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: show the comfort to others, reflecting God's heart and his
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: grace over their lives. So I speak peace to every
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: single person right now that's in that territory, and those
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: who are out of that territory but have family members
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: in that territory. Peace, the peace of God that transcends
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: all understanding, the peace of God that is sent victoriously
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: sent by people on the ground, and angels and angelic hosts,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that Lord God, you would cause them to sense your
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: peace and your love and your grace and your mercy
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: in those territories. So we come against any demonic situation
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: or any demonic influence over people's mind, that they will
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: stop and they will be of clear mind, sound mind.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: They would get wisdom understanding, they would know what to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: do in the situations. And Lord God, that will be
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: few and far in between deaths in Florida. We pray peace,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: We pray life. We speak that we set forth arkwen angels,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: minister angels, and warring angels to annihilate the tactics of
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the enemy over people's mind right now, and we come
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: against the spirit of fear. Fear is not of the Lord.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And I pray, Lord God that you would do what
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you intended to do since the very beginning them to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: be in perfect peace, as you LOGA are the Prince
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of peace through the Lord Jesus by way of Holy Spirit.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Listen, because I'm gonna coniner to be
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: praying for Florida and for family members over there. You
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: can continue to pray as well during the day. But
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: if you think, if you're one of the people who
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: think that Jesus, that God, that the Father is using
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: natural disasters to punish people, amen, I got good news
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: for you. That's not true. Amen, And I got better
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: news for you. The scripture says in John three seventeen
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that Jesus was sent on the rescue mission not to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: condemn the world, but to save the world. And he
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to use a hurricane or tornado, tsunami or
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: earthquake to punish anyone because he's not the punisher. He's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a savior. So with that, I hope you're encouraged. Let's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: keep on praying for our family, our brothers, and sisters
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina, the South Florida and all that that's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: happening with these hurricanes. And let's speak life towards one
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: another and be kind and gentle and patient with one
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: another in Jesus name. Amen, thank you so much for
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: watching and for listening. And I'm gonna have to go,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time. I'm gonna keep on praying. You
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: keep on praying. Un let's come back and share testimonies
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: of what you heard of what God is doing in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: those territories, Because when darkness hits a territory, when the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: light of Christ shines, Amen, people could testify of the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: goodness of God. And He's going to do an amazing
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: work in Florida and in North Carolina and in the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: South with the people who believe in trusting Him. Amen.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all. God keep you all, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: remember always that God is Good. Peace.
