[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker B: Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day?
[00:00:06] Speaker A: I hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today because today is the day the Lord hath made. We will be glad.
[00:00:13] Speaker B: We will rejoice in, and 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. Praise. Praise him and thank him. I was up super early today. I'm not sure what the reason was,
[00:00:29] Speaker A: but I'm up and I was reading and I was just.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: I'm just sitting in a place of gratefulness. I'm so thankful to God. I was reading a book called the Bible Tells Me so. And it talks about kind of being released from your prisons and how you can get into a place in your
[00:00:47] Speaker A: mind where you're negative, where you're.
[00:00:48] Speaker B: Where you're condemning yourself, or maybe you hate yourself, or maybe you. You're just in a bad spot.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: And what purifies and cleans, that's the Word.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: And getting a mental image of yourself
[00:00:59] Speaker A: or a mental image of what you
[00:01:01] Speaker B: want and knowing that God's going to
[00:01:03] Speaker A: take care of it.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: And I kind of reflected on my life and where I was when I was younger, up till probably 40, and
[00:01:10] Speaker A: I am just so thankful that I'm not living in that spot anymore. If you're in a place where you're negative or you have those negative things revolving in your mind, you got to go to the Word.
You got to start to read the Word and believe what it says. And again, I'm going to go back to that conversation I had about do you look at the Word now differently that you've lived?
And it's the exact opposite.
You have to frame your mind to what God says.
You have to take what God says. You got to put it in your mind and you have to change your thoughts in order to live that way. It's not that your life experiences, changes the Word. All it does is when you look back, you start to see how, how much truth there is. Like, man, I'm glad I got over that 15 years ago. Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. It's better what you see right now is better than what your desire, what you're pursuing. You have to live in that moment.
There's nothing better for a man that he should eat and that he should drink and that he should make his soul enjoy the good of your labor.
You actually have to force yourself to enjoy what God's given You and not think about the want.
Be anxious for not one thing. You're not to be anxious for one thing in your life. If you are perfect, love. It casteth out fear. You gotta go to God. You gotta have that stuff in your mind.
In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy confide or trust in the Lord with all thine heart.
And lean not unto thine own understanding, thine own discernment.
Discernment is the faculty of the mind. It helps you deciding what's good and what's wrong. Don't lean on that. You lean on God's word in all thy ways. Acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path. And there's also another verse in there. I don't know where it was, where it talks about like no matter how. How much stuff is in your way of the path, how many. How much. How many things are blocking that path. God will always make a way. Do you believe that in your life?
Do you have. You run into situations I don't know, I don't have. There's not a way out. There is a way out and God will provide that way. You gotta turn and face God.
Now that I've gone into that, I'm gonna read this. If you go to Colossians, chapter three, verse one. It says, if ye then be risen with Christ, endeavor to seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Mind or set your affection. Set your heart on things above, not on things remaining within this earth or the land.
You have to spirit. You have to put your mind above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Don't think about what you eat. Don't think about what you drink. Don't think about what you put on. Is God not bigger than that? That's in Mark or Matthew or Mark. One of them.
Seek ye the kingdom of God, and these things shall be added unto you.
Verse 3. For ye are dead, or ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life shall appear, then ye shall also appear with him in glory. And that s brightness is that which attracts attention which Christ comes back. We will be seen spiritually. For who we are mortify are put to death. Therefore the members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate infection, evil desire or concupiscence, covetousness or wantonness, which is idolatry, for which things sake the wrath of God cometh to the children of the disobedience into which we Also walked in some time. This is before you believe in the name of Jesus Christ.
Those are the children of the disobedience. But now lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds, but yet put on the new man which is renewed or daily acquiring strength with motion to the epignosis, which is having a true and personal relationship with an object, where you hear from that object and you heed his advice. So put on the new spiritual man, which is daily acquiring strength with motion to the knowledge of the image of him that created him. Your spirit is daily acquiring strength to get you to know God, to give you that strength to get to know God, having the knowledge of God.
We live in a tremendous administration. But if you don't face God, if you don't pray to God, not to Jesus Christ, if you don't pray to God, if you don't have reverential awe for God, you're missing out on what the entire life is about.
The your entire life is about to get to know God.
Because someday Christ, our risen Lord and Savior, is coming back and we'll be out of this place. Thank God. I can't wait.
But that's the whole duty of man to love God.
It's easy breezy, easy breezy. Beautiful cover girl. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. Pray the big prayers. When you pray again, it's always to God. It's never to Jesus Christ.
It's biblical. You don't pray to Christ. You pray. Pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with that sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family. Talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today and just for everything that's going on. I pray that you constantly show me what I'm to do and how I am to do it. I. I thank you for the.
The opportunity you give us. I pray for our business and that you put it on solid ground financially. I thank you for what you've done until now, and there's just a lot going on that you take care of everything. I'm so very grateful for the people you put in my life, for the moments of my life.
And I just thank you for. For today that it's a blessed day, that everything gets done that needs to get done. I pray and lift up just everything to you, and I'm very grateful for your son and I lift it all up to you in my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
