[00:00:02] Speaker B: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker A: How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day?
[00:00:07] Speaker B: I hope you're having a great day.
[00:00:08] 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.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Rejoice in every single moment that you.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: Have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement.
[00:00:20] Speaker B: Be thankful, be happy, continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him and thank him and be joyful.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: You know, when I, my personality is kind of. If I get on something, I start like obsessing about it until I figure out, until I figure it out, I figure out how to do it. And that comes with a recognition that when I do that, I gotta make sure that God's involved.
You have to make sure that God is involved in your life and he's involved in the decisions that you make. In all thy ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. Go to him, ask him to open the door or to close the door. Like right now I'm talking about doing this hosting of something else and I'm not sure if it's God's will.
I know I want to do it, I know I'm excited about doing it, but it doesn't mean that it's right.
And some things that you do when you work with God, he might direct you in a way away from the things that you want to do. But ultimately, long term, it always comes back and just blesses you. And beyond anything you can, I mean express our God is so good, you got to give him the reverential awe in your life. And you'll see why.
It's not just. I mean once you're. Once it's consistent, you'll understand why.
And it's a, you know that, you know that, you know that you've walked with God, there's nothing to fear. You can rely knowing that you all have always gone to him, asked him to direct your way.
Tribulation worketh. Patience, patience, experience, experience, hope. And hope will never cause, will never cause shame.
He's just there for you. And if you don't do it, I'm just man, start, start.
I was reading this morning in Philippians, chapter two, verse one. It says, if there therefore be any calling or any summonings or any consolations remaining within Christ, if there be any lady, if there be any stimulating love or stimulating force of love, if any fellowship or of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies or pity or compassion, fulfill ye my joy in order that ye may be like minded having the Same love being of one accord and of one mind.
If you go back into that verse, if there's any time where you're feeling that stimulating comfort of love, any fellowship of the Holy Spirit, that fellowship of the Holy Spirit man, when you're working with God, you'll know. You'll know when it happens. It should be happening on a day to day basis because you really have complete access. You are more than complete in Christ when he died for you.
The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous in front of God, but you also have that Holy Spirit, that power from on high in you. And you have access to God. And if you ever go through those times or you have that stimulating comfort of love or where you know that you're fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, any bowels of mercy, or if you're feeling that pity or compassion.
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye may be like minded, having the same love and of one accord and of one mind. Let nothing, not one thing be done according to works for ambition or strife or vainglory, or things empty to glory, but in lowliness or humility of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
If you're not a person who is accustomed to actually caring about other people, I. I would change it.
And that's what I love about the Word. Like the. There's so many things in here that I. That it is does not come natural to me.
It's not natural for me to do a lot of the things that's in the Word. But you change your mind to doing it. Let him that stole steal no more little things like that. And I keep this, this is. I keep thinking about how like taking an apple from my brother's house was stealing man. And I didn't. It was crazy. I just. Because you don't think about it that way. But I was kind of sneaking around and you know, you got it. You got to work with God. You got to listen to what he says and change your mind to do things. If you don't look on the things of others, change your. Change your heart. Look not every man on things of his own things, but every man also on things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ.
That's the way he thought and look at the result. That's the way we should think. If you jump over to verse 12. Wherefore my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence. Work out effect or achieve your own safety, your own Salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh or forms by labor in you. For both to will and this is the emotional will to do of and to work of his good pleasure, of his desired pleasure.
God is working with you. God is working in you. And you're to work out your own safety, your own salvation with God.
That means going to him. That means changing your mind to what the word says, changing your thoughts, changing who you are and becoming the man of God or woman of God or man of God that God wants you to be. And it's not about sitting there and punishing yourself and saying, oh, I'm bad, I'm a sinner, I'm this. That is not the will of God.
Absolutely not. Because it's love, that really perfect love. It casteth out fear and God is love.
It's about going to him in all thy ways, acknowledging him, working out your own safety, your own salvation with him, and knowing that it's God working by labor in you both to do things, to have the emotional will to do, which some things sometimes you don't think about. You need emotional energy to do things. God gives you that emotional energy. He also gives you the work to do it.
We have a huge God. You have a huge God behind you, backing you in everything and in life.
Don't forget that man. You are not alone, but give him that reverence and you'll see wonderful things in your life. Wonderful things.
Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again when you pray, you pray to God, Never to Jesus Christ. It's not biblical. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
Just for each and every moment in.
[00:06:49] Speaker B: My life and for everything that you do for us.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: I pray for a great day today.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: I pray for tomorrow, that.
Not that I should be thinking about.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: It, but I. I just pray that.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: Tomorrow goes well with my brother and sister in law, that we can finish their house and that's kind of off their plate. I thank you for the ability that you've given each and every one of us. I ask that you open the door or close the door on the situation that's going on with the, the other business, the cards. And I just thank you for, just for the moments of my life. I thank you for your word and how much of a blessing it is. Especially I get to read it every day and know what's from you, Father, and what your son did for us. And I just lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
