[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker B: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker A: How are you on another fine, fine, but beautiful day. I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy, continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him, thank him, be joyful, you know, Be delighted is to be blessed, you know. And that's. That's what God's given to us. That's the opportunity you have in life. But it's what you put in your mind that makes you, you. What you think about is who you are. People can see who you are. Just. I don't even know how, but it says in the Word, that's what happens. You got to put in the good. You got to think on the good. There's a couple verses, like I said this morning, that I read in here, that's just. I don't know, it blessed me. If you go to chapter four, first John, verse, verse five, or verse four, ye are out from the origins of God, little children, and have overcome them, or are victorious over them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
Parents matter. Your parents matter. If you are a parent, you matter to your children. And I know this because my parents taught me this verse. And they use this verse over and over and over again. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world you overcome, you have victory because you have Christ in you, the hope of glory. And therefore you, you, you, you're right there in conjunction. You're right there next to him, Jesus Christ next to God.
God protects you. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. If you jump over to chapter five, verse one, Whosoever believes that Jesus is Christ is sired or born out from the origins of God. And again God is spirit in Christ Jesus. When he was raised, again he raised as spirit. You are spiritual. The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, therefore you are out from the origins of God. That's what it means to be born again, born spiritual. Verse 2. By this we know that we love the children of God. When we love God and we keep his commandments, for this is the love of God in order that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not grievous. You got to keep the commandments of God. If you jump back to verse, chapter three, verse 22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. Verse 23. And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ and love one another as he hath given us. Commandment.
Those are the two commandments. Believe in the name of His Son and love one another. You got to love your neighbor, you got to care for your neighbor. If you see your neighbor in need, you take care of them. It's actually brethren. If you see a believer in need, you take care of them.
But you take care of people. You love them.
And God is love. And if you jump, I mean, this is what's so beautiful. If you jump over the chapter four, verse 16. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love. And he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God and God in him. The more you dwell in love, the more you are closer to God. If you want to get close to God, you got to look at people with love. This is something that I've had to change. And if you've been listening to these teachings, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Every time I was. I'm a judger in general. It's my nature is to judge, to be critical. As I see people, my natural instinct is to just tear them down, to look on them and kind of undress them. But God works with you. And when you start recognizing that you can't live your life just based on who you are, you gotta live your life to what, to what God tells you to do. If God tells you to love, how do you do that? So what I would do is I would look on people. I'd have that initial instinctual judgment that's, no, I'm not gonna do this. I love you. I love you. I love you. In my mind, I would tell myself that I love that person. I look at them, I love them, I pray for him, and I move on. You do this continually, you'll start to see that you are. That you're changed. You are not naturally like this. God works with you to change you into a person that walks upright in his eyes. Although you already do. The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous, but you walk with God's love, the spiritual love. And what does that do?
It changes you as a person.
It changes your instinct, it changes who you are. And people, people want to be around that. And it's all because of God. It's all because of his word. You have to put this stuff in your mind. You got to change your habits. Whatever it takes, you change it and you'll start, you'll start seeing it. I want to go back to chapter five again. Verse three. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. That is to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and to love one another.
And it is not grievous. Verse 4. For whatsoever or because whatsoever is born of God or is begotten of God, overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world. Our faith you have victory. And where does that come from? Our faith, that is specifically believing what you hear.
Do you believe this stuff? Do you take these verses? Do you let it just kind of go in and go out? Or do you take them and grab them and start thinking on them and start changing and start believing what God says and who God tells you to be. Start changing who you are. You are not to fear in this world. God is love. You are to love. Do you love? You gotta change yourself. Change yourself and you'll start seeing the love of God in your life.
Grace, which is that loving disposition and peace, which is the state of undisturbed well being. It's where you sit there and nothing bothers you will make you full. And the instrument of that is having an epignosis, having a true and personal relationship with God, where you hear from him and you heed his advice and his son. This is God's word. Heed it.
Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when, when you pray, you pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family and.

[00:07:10] Speaker B: And I thank you again for the moments of my life. I thank you for the people we have working with us and that you.

[00:07:17] Speaker B: You just guide them and whatever, whatever they need guided in. I pray for the situation of all the equipment we just bought, that you.

[00:07:24] Speaker B: And I just thank you for the ability to do it and I thank you for the people again that you've surrounded me with. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and savior, Christ Jesus.
