[00:00:28] Speaker B: I have this trainer and the dude just went crazy yesterday and I. I.
[00:00:32] Speaker A: Woke up just having a hard time.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: Opening up my eyes.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: But, yeah, that's what I'm going through. I was reading this morning in Colossians, and this always blesses me because we have so many things. When you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and Christ is formed in you through faith, through believing, specifically what you hear.
And this is just. I don't know. I mean, there's just so many things you can have comfort in or take comfort in. If you go to chapter two of Colossians, verse one, it says, for I would that they knew what great conflict I have of you and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as not seen my face in the flesh, in order that their hearts being comforted or called aside or appealed to, being knit together or joined together in love, and unto all the riches and full assurance or full conviction of the understanding of the knowledge or the acknowledgement or being acquainted with the knowledge of the mystery of God and of our Father and of Christ. The mystery is that there the God is no longer just a God to the Jews. God is a God to his people, both the Jews and the Gentiles. Anyone that believes in the name of Jesus Christ, and all of us are knit together, we are called to. We are appealed to through love. And I love that it's through love. It's not through laws, it's not through acts of labor. It's through love. Everything in this life has to do with love. When it. When you really boiled everything down. Verse 3. In whom in Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. This is knowledge acquired by. By wisdom or knowledge acquired by learning. And wisdom is the right application of knowledge.
When you start to read the Word, you start to get the knowledge of God. And when I speak about knowledge, it's a specific word. It's knowledge of God. Once you start to understand the knowledge of God, wisdom comes when you rightly apply that knowledge. And there's so much stuff in here that that helps you get there. Once you start to read every day, and once you start to read this stuff and understand it for yourself, you'll understand what I'm talking about. It's such a blessing. Verse 4. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you or deceive you with enticing or persuasive words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
You have to know the Word to know when there's error being taught.
There is a lot of error being taught about the Word, about the Bible, about Christ Jesus, about who we are. If you're still living in that condemnation and living your life thing that you're thinking that you're more upright with God because you're walking in the laws, that is not accurate. Once you stand in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, the liberty is the freedom to go where one wants. Staying in the liberty where with Christ hath hath made you free, and be not entangled again with the weight or the yoke of bondage which is servitude to the law. You are freed from that. And it's in order that you can start to build the relationship with God, start to follow or heed his advice. Grace, which is that loving disposition, and peace, which is the state of undisturbed well being, will make you full, will fill you up through the instrument. The thing that does it is having the epignosis with God. A true and and personal relationship with God, where you hear from him and you heed his advice and of His Son, Christ Jesus. And you can get that in the Word. There's so much advice in here. There's so many things you can do to change your mind, to change your heart. The thing that makes you you, the things you think about to remove the anxiety that we live in. You don't have to be anxious and to be closer to God and to realize what you have in God and in Christ Jesus. It frees you from that anxiety.
Verse 6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, and you receive it by believing that Jesus Christ. Romans 10, 9, 10. As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him, taking root or rooted, and build up in him, and established by the faith which ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
You abound in the thanksgiving every day. If you think about the things that you've been given, the things that you don't have to do and stay focused on what matters, which is God and God's love and, and just walking in that love, walking in the spirit. The power that you have from on high, developing that, the relationship through reading, through fellowshipping with other believers. Once you see all that and you're rooted and built up in it, you're built up in God's love and there is no better place to be because you're not disturbed by the outside world.
It takes a while, but you just gotta stay focused on what matters. Have a phenomenal day today. Pray the big prayers, lift them up in the name of Jesus Christ. Pray the small prayers, pray specific, specific requests to God. Declare them to God and lift them up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Let your soul and spirit fly into the misty well. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for.
[00:06:12] Speaker B: Everything you do for us. I just pray to give me some energy.

[00:06:19] Speaker B: That are going on today that you take care of those situations. I thank you again for my golf game. I'm very, very thankful. I know it's taken a long time, but where it's headed. I pray for your believers and just.
[00:06:30] Speaker A: Everything that's going on with them and.
[00:06:31] Speaker B: That you take care of them and for your word to just continually open up and to bless those people.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: Father and I also thank you that.
[00:06:38] Speaker B: You give me time to read the rest of that and really digest that chapter that I can just understand exactly what you want me to understand from it. Again, I just thank you for the moments of my life. I lift up a great day to.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: You in the name of my Lord.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: And Sav Christ Jesus.
