[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today, because
[00:00:10] Speaker B: today is the day the Lord hath made.
[00:00:11] Speaker A: We'll be glad.
[00:00:12] Speaker B: We will rejoice in it.
[00:00:13] Speaker A: Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice.
[00:00:21] Speaker A: Praise. Praise him and thank him and be joyful.
[00:00:24] Speaker B: I.
Yeah, we're working through it. We are working through it.
[00:00:28] Speaker A: We're trying to continue to. To take these steps, to get done with everything. The. The load has not lightened yet, but again, you got to go to God. And I talk about this all the time, because that's what it's about. You pray to God, lifting up everything that's going on in your life. You're to be careful or anxious for not one thing, but in all things, through prayers to God and prayers of personal need, which are supplications. Let your specific requests be declared to God, and God's peace or passing understanding or men's thought will keep and guard and garrison your hearts through Christ Jesus. You gotta pray.
I think the word praying specifically means praying out loud. But you gotta pray to God and lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. I mean, there's nothing more you can do.
The outcome is God's outcome. That which is crooked cannot be made straight. The trial of your faith is much more precious than anything else you're gonna go through.
Faith is believing specifically in what you hear.
Having godliness is having that true and personal and vital relationship with God. Do you have that? Do you have that with His Son?
These are the ways of life, and it's just man. The more you know the Word, we have the ministry of the reconciliation, the ministry of the reconnection. The more you know the Word, the more you realize we're connected to God, the better off you are.
I want to go to Galatians this morning.
If you go to Galatians, chapter 2, verse 16. It says, Knowing that a man is not justified out from works of the divine law, except or, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Even we also have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified or set forth as righteous through the faith of Christ and not by works of law. For by works of law shall no flesh be justified.
You're not justified by your acts. And if you're living that way or if you feel that something's wrong because of the way you're acting, it all depends on what's going on.
Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, Romans 10, 9 and 10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, God raised him from the dead.
Thou shalt be. Excuse me, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness and with a mouth, confession is made unto salvation or safety or preservation.
Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous. It's not about your acts at that point.
However, there is a manifestation or a being made visible of things that you do in life. Tribulation and anguish to all those who do evil. Just the way life is.
If you choose to walk down that path, it's not. That's not of the spirit, but of the five senses of the carnal nature. Yeah, it walks towards corruption.
Then you have a choice at that point. But godliness gain does not equal godliness.
Just because you're not doing well doesn't mean you're not walking with God or doing something wrong with God.
It's. It's a man. It's so contrary to what you think in life. Like God's going to decide the way you go. There's a season for everything, an appointed season.
Verse 19. For though or for passing through the law, I died to the law that I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. That's that Christ in you. The hope of glory and the life which I now live in the flesh are in these five senses in the carnal nature. I live by faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not reject the grace of God. For if righteousness came by law, then Christ died in vain.
If you pay. If somebody works and you pay them a debt, that's no more of grace.
You owe them something.
It's not about your works. It's not about your acts.
Christ died in order that we can live. And it's God's grace. You live in a great. The administration of grace.
And it's a wonderful administration.
You don't have to do anything. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, it's over.
But you get to choose to. You get to choose whether or not you walk spiritually or you choose whether or not you walk carnally.
But either way, God's behind you. It's just whether or how close you want to be with God.
Choose what you put in your mind. Choose the thoughts that you have and decide what you want to be and what you want to do in life and pray the whole time knowing that you have Christ in you, the hope of glory. I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Pray the big prayers today. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always to God. It's never to Jesus Christ.
It's to God lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with that sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: Heavenly Father, thank you so much for everything that's going on today. I pray for just to guide my steps and show me how to efficiently and effectively get done with everything that needs to get done. I pray that you cover me when I forget things and that it's all covered. I thank you again for your son and what he did for us that we can live this way. I thank you for your word and how much of a blessing that is. I thank you for continually working with me to grow in that, and I'm just very, very grateful for it. I pray for your believers today that you take care of them and if there's anything that I need to do, you just put that on my heart. I thank you again for the moments of my life and the family you've surrounded me with, and I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
