[00:00:07] Speaker A: 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.

I.
So I was reading over the weekend, and that's where I was reading over Galatians. And I talk about that. When you start to read a lot, there are themes that God will kind of put on your heart. All of a sudden, these. These verses will start jumping out at.
[00:00:40] Speaker B: You, and it's like, wow, okay, I get it.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: And like I said, I'm going to keep. I'm going to continue to go into this that you're. You are righteous. I'm going to continue to talk about that until God kind of moves me into something else. And it was just random. Today I was reading in 2nd Corinth, or 1st Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 12. It says, all things are lawful to me, but not all things are expedient, are profitable.
All things are lawful.
You can do whatever you want to do in this life. That's what the beauty of Christ dying for us is. Not one person could stand before God sinless, but Christ died in order that we can live righteous through believing uprightly, through believing God. The prism that God looks at us now in is that if you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous. But this is a beautiful way of explaining the difference between what it was and what it is now, what the law did and what it does. Now. All things are lawful to me, but not all things are expedient or profitable.
We are to get to know God. That's the whole point of this life, is to develop a relationship with God. And if you're doing something wrong, or if you're doing something that's, let's say, immoral, or if you're doing something quote, unquote, sinful or. Or listening to your carnal nature, it draws you away from God. Let's say you're going on, I mean, just randomly. Let's say it's like you're promiscuous and you're sleeping around a lot, right?
All things are lawful, for you can do that, and God's not going to judge you for that. But what happens is, is that you. You're hurting the other person, you're hurting yourself. You're gonna be going through all those thoughts of, like, the longing and the feeling bad about it. And I shouldn't be doing this, and I shouldn't be doing that. Why am I doing this?
But the other way, if you think about that's one way of living your life, the other way is saying, God, I want somebody. Provide them.
God, please provide this person. Is there something I need to do? Is there someplace I need to go? Like, what do I need to do to find, let's say, my wife? Or to find the person that I can live this life with?
Which one brings you closer to God?
It's going to be the latter.
All things are lawful unto me, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me or to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. And that's not let the power of any to have authority over me. I will not allow my carnal nature to have authority over me. That's what it's. That's what happens.
Now. If you jump over to, oh, no, I just pulled it out. Are you for real right now? If you cannot believe I just did that, if you jump over to Second Corinthians, Chapter 7, Verse 9. This is another beautiful verse. Now, I rejoice not that you were made sorry or that ye grieved, but that ye grieved to repentance, which is a real change of mind. It's essentially going from sin nature to spiritual nature. This is that godly grief that worketh a change in your moral position. It moves you morally.
So let's say you do do that thing where you're sleeping around and you get that feeling in your heart like, I've got to stop doing this. I've got to stop doing this. This is the verse for that. Now I rejoice not that you were made sorry, not that you grieved, but. But that ye grieve to repentance, for ye were made sorry after a godly manner. You grieved after a godly manner in order that ye might receive damage from us. In nothing godly grief worketh a change in your moral position. That feeling that you gotta change, that grieving that you gotta change is after a godly manner. God wants what's best for you, and that's to live spiritually. If you live carnally, which is the state of death that was created when Adam transgressed against God, and if you live carnally in that state, it's harder to get to know God. It's harder to develop the relationship with God. And it's. It's crazy because God is bigger than your heart. It talks about it in your word and what in your heart is the things you think about, the things that make you you. God's bigger than that. He's going to work with you to get you to a place where you're standing in a moral position so that it's easier to develop the relationship with him.
He set it up that Jesus Christ died for you in order to have that opportunity to build a relationship.
It's just. It's so loving and it's so wonderful. And it's okay to do wrong, it's okay to make mistakes, but ultimately it's to. Once you start walking in a place where it's between you and God and you're developing that and your conversation of life has to do with God, it's going to change your entire life.
I want to finish up with this because I jumped across this when I was. I was doing a little research. This is wonderful for all of you. That don't feel good enough. Listen to this. Chapter 2 of Second Corinthians, it said verse 14. It says, now thanks be to God at all times or which always leads us in triumph in Christ you are always being led in triumph. Don't forget that God is 100% behind you.
You do not feel scared in life. You do not feel defeated in life. That is not a biblical thing. You feel strong and empowered. He gives you the emotional will to do. He gives you the ability to cause effect. Now stand fast, therefore, in the liberty. That's why that verse is so beautiful. Stand in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free. And be not entangled again with the weight or the yoke of the bondage to the law. Stand in that liberty, the freedom to go where one wants. Have a beautiful day today. Build a relationship with God. Talk to him in all thy ways. Acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, you pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you just for everything you do for us. I ask that you just show me and direct me in all ways. I pray for my. The healing or whatever is going on with me, that you just work with me to show me how to get rid of that stuff. I pray again for my brother and my nephew, that you heal them immediately, especially with the vision thing.
And I thank you for my sister, which I haven't seen in a while. I pray for her and that you comfort her and that you protect her and my entire family. And I thank you for those who we work with, that you continually build this business in a way that everybody is financially secure. And yeah, I just thank you for the moments of my life. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and savior Christ Jesus.
