[00:01:07] this beautiful, beautiful Monday morning that God has decided to bless us in. Won't

[00:01:14] you go ahead and join me and give him some praise today on this beautiful,

[00:01:20] beautiful day that he has blessed us in. Nobody can do it like he can. It's his

[00:01:26] grace and it's mercy that gets us up every single day of our life. Won't you go

[00:01:33] ahead and meditate on that this morning as we go into our morning prayer.

[00:01:38] Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning for breathing your breath into our

[00:01:44] bodies. We thank you this morning, Father God, for your grace and your mercy

[00:01:50] because we know that it is new every single day of our lives. Heavenly Father,

[00:01:58] as we go forth in this day for the God may our eyes and our mind and our hearts

[00:02:03] stay steadfast on your word on Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father, we know that you

[00:02:08] sit up high and you look down low the great I am the one that died so long

[00:02:15] long ago for us Jesus and we thank you in advance for all the things that

[00:02:21] you're doing in our lives today, Father God. We thank you for every work in

[00:02:27] organ, every beating heart, every eyesight to see, every ear to hear, every movement

[00:02:35] of our lives, Father God. Heavenly Father, we know that you're able to do all

[00:02:41] things for the God and we just bless your name this morning. Hallelujah to your

[00:02:47] name is the highest praise. Heavenly Father, as we go out in our world today

[00:02:53] Heavenly Father, may we consult you first and all things that we do for the God.

[00:03:00] Heavenly Father, may we be your Rams in the bush on this day. Heavenly Father,

[00:03:07] let us take a buck across today for the God. In Jesus name we pray, Amen and amen. So guys,

[00:03:18] let's jump right into the word this morning. This morning we got some reading that

[00:03:25] we're going to get into today and I'm trying to get through this as quickly as possible.

[00:03:35] This morning we will be reading over chapter seven. I want to go back to chapter seven

[00:03:42] and read up to chapter eight. I know we touched on it a little bit on last week, but

[00:03:49] last Friday we just did the commentary of chapter five. So I want to go back and I want

[00:03:55] to catch, catch back up to speed. So bear with me as we go back and read chapter seven.

[00:04:02] Chapter seven, John chapter seven, verse one. After these things Jesus walked the

[00:04:09] Gatelli where he did not want to salt because he did not want to walk in Judea because

[00:04:16] the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews feast to the tabernacle was at hand. His brothers

[00:04:22] therefore said to him, depart from here and go into Judea that your disciples also may

[00:04:29] see the works that you are doing for no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks

[00:04:36] to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world for even his brothers

[00:04:44] did not believe in him. Then Jesus said to them, my time has not yet come but your time

[00:04:51] is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that

[00:05:01] it is works of evil. You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to the feast for my

[00:05:10] time has not yet fully come. And I want to stop right there and I want to talk about

[00:05:16] right there. I don't know if you guys remember me saying a while back that for some reason the

[00:05:28] name of Jesus is the most hated name, but he tells us right here. He says my time has not come

[00:05:37] yet, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify

[00:05:45] of it that it works are evil. Well, there go our answer right there. There go my answer

[00:05:55] right there because we testify he testified that everything that was going on was evil and we

[00:06:03] still live in such a time like this today, but he did say to us, my time has not yet come

[00:06:11] yet. See God knows when it's time for everything he knew Jesus knew that then he lets us know today.

[00:06:25] So, but he says our time is always ready. What does he mean by that? We all to share the good news

[00:06:37] of Jesus Christ as we come out of celebrating Easter Sunday, the death burial resurrection

[00:06:46] of Jesus Christ. He gave us the power. Open up our mouth. Be bold like Peter and John and Paul

[00:06:57] and all the disciples. Be bold for God. He goes on then to say in verse 9, when he had said these

[00:07:10] things to them, he remained in Galilee. But when his brothers had gone up, then also went up to

[00:07:16] the feast not openly, but he went also went up to the feast not openly, but as it were in secret.

[00:07:25] Then the Jews sought him at the feast and said, where is he? And there was much complaining among

[00:07:31] the people concerning him. Some said he is good others said no on the contrary, he deceives people.

[00:07:40] However, no one spoke openly of him for the fear of the Jews. Now by the middle of the feast,

[00:07:48] Jesus went up to the temple and told. And the Jews marveled saying, how does this man know letters

[00:07:56] having never studied? And Jesus answered them and said, my doctrine is not mine, but he is who sent me.

[00:08:07] If anyone wheels to do his wheel, he shall know certain concerning the doctrine, whether it's from God

[00:08:15] or whether I speak on my own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory,

[00:08:24] but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is in him.

[00:08:33] Let's talk about that for a minute. Let's go back and talk about what God said. Jesus said about

[00:08:41] my doctrine is not mine, but he is who sent me. If anyone wheels to do his wheel, he shall know

[00:08:52] concerning the doctrine, whether it's from God or whether I speak on my own authority.

[00:08:59] And we've got to get that in our minds and our hearts concerning the word.

[00:09:06] The Bible is a roadmap to life. And you can do all things if you follow it, go straight and turn right.

[00:09:18] But when you're seeking things for your glory of yourself to be seen a man or woman,

[00:09:25] that is not of God. But when you're doing things for a guy teaching his word, ministering his word,

[00:09:36] helping others, loving others, that is what we supposed to be doing as Christians,

[00:09:44] not seeking validation for ourselves, but seeking the true meaning of why Jesus Christ came

[00:09:52] and walked this earth anyway to show us, to be an example. He was the example, the great I am

[00:10:01] for all of us to know what to do and what not to do right from wrong. Our conscience will

[00:10:09] convict you in as Christians. Our conscience is our is the Holy Spirit. Something to tell you

[00:10:16] don't go that way, don't do that. Don't say that, especially when you have turned your life over to

[00:10:23] Christ. He is doing a new thing in you. So once you've turned your life over, you don't walk the same,

[00:10:33] you don't talk the same. It's a new thing. He also goes on to say that he who speaks from him

[00:10:41] seeks his own glory. He who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness

[00:10:49] is in him. We don't want to do things to seek our own glory and our own validation so people can

[00:10:59] look on and spectate and say, oh, look at the wonderful thing that Victoria is doing. Oh,

[00:11:04] look at the wonderful thing that Susie Q is doing. But when we're walking with God and we're seeking

[00:11:11] him and he gives us an assignment, then we follow the instructions and our assignment is to

[00:11:21] talk about the love of Jesus Christ. Be obedient to the world.

[00:11:27] He goes on to say in verse 19, those of you that just joined us, we're in John chapter 7 verse 19.

[00:11:40] Did not Moses give you the law yet? None of you keep the law. Why isn't it that you seek to kill me?

[00:11:47] The people answered and said, you have a demon who is seeking to kill you. Jesus answered and said

[00:11:55] to them, I did one work and you all marveled. Moses therefore gave you circumcision,

[00:12:07] not that it is from Moses but from the fathers and you circumcised the man on Sabbath.

[00:12:15] If a man receives circumcision on Sabbath so that the law of Moses should not be broken,

[00:12:21] are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on Sabbath? Do not judge according to

[00:12:28] the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. Now some of them from Jerusalem said, is this not

[00:12:39] he whom they seek to kill? But look, he speaks boldly and they saw nothing in him.

[00:12:47] Do the rollers know indeed that this is a is truly Christ?

[00:12:54] However we know where this man is from but when the Christ comes, no one knows where he is from.

[00:13:01] Then Jesus cried out as he taught in the temple saying, you both know me and you know where I'm from

[00:13:11] and I have not come of myself but he who sent me is true whom you do not know.

[00:13:19] But I know him for I am from him and he sent me.

[00:13:24] Therefore they sought to take him, but no one laid hand on him because his hour had not come yet.

[00:13:33] And many of the people believed in him and said when the Christ comes will he do more signs than

[00:13:40] these which this man has done? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him

[00:13:47] and the Pharisees and the chief priests and officers to take him.

[00:13:53] Then Jesus said to them, I shall be with you a little while longer but then I go to him who sent me.

[00:14:03] You will seek me and not find me and where I'm from, you cannot come.

[00:14:11] Then Jesus said, then the Jews said among themselves what does he intend to go that we shall not

[00:14:18] find him? Where does he intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the

[00:14:29] dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? What is this thing that he says, you will seek me

[00:14:40] and not find me and where I am, you cannot come. And on the last day, that great day of the fees.

[00:14:48] Jesus stood and cried out saying, if anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink.

[00:14:56] He who believes in me as the scriptures has said out of his heart will flow river

[00:15:03] of living water ain't you glad about it today? If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink.

[00:15:12] He who believes in me as the scriptures has said out of his heart will flow rivers of living

[00:15:22] water. But this he spoke concerning the spirit whom those believing in him would receive

[00:15:32] for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

[00:15:42] And that's what we celebrated on yesterday.

[00:15:47] When Jesus rose, when they killed him nailed his hands his feet to that cross gave him sour wine

[00:15:58] on a sponge to drink when he was thirsty put thorns on his hand pierced his side

[00:16:07] and stripped him of his clothes hung him there high for everyone to spectate and look.

[00:16:21] Mocked thought that they were bringing him to shame but as he said in his word

[00:16:29] his time had not yet come

[00:16:36] because he had not yet been glorified. Therefore many from the crowd when they heard this saying

[00:16:46] said truly this is a prophet. Others said this is the Christ but some said will the Christ come

[00:16:55] out of Galilee has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David

[00:17:02] and from the town of Bethlehem where David was. So there was a division among the people because of

[00:17:12] him now some of them wanted to take him but no one laid hands on him. Then the officers came to

[00:17:20] the chief priest and the Pharisees who said to him why have you not brought him. And the officer

[00:17:26] answered no man ever spoke like this man then the Pharisees answered them are you always so deceit?

[00:17:39] Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him but this crowd that does not know the law

[00:17:48] is a curse.

[00:17:53] Nicodemus who he came who had came to Jesus by night being one of them said to them does our law

[00:18:02] judge a man before he hears him and knows what he is doing? They answered and said to him

[00:18:12] are you also from Galilee search in love for no prophet has risen out of Galilee

[00:18:22] and everyone went to his own house. John chapter 8 but Jesus went to the mount of olives

[00:18:34] now early in the morning he came again into the temple and all the people came to him and he sat

[00:18:39] down and taught the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman called in adultery

[00:18:48] and when they had set her in the mists they said to him teacher this woman was called in adultery

[00:18:57] in the very act. Now Moses in the law commands us that such should be stone but what do you say?

[00:19:07] this they say attesting him that they may have something of which to accuse him

[00:19:16] but Jesus stood down and wrote on the ground with his finger as though he did not hear them.

[00:19:26] Some when they continue asking him he raised himself up and said to them

[00:19:31] he who is without sin among you that him throw a stone at her first and again he stood down

[00:19:41] and wrote on the ground then those who heard it being convicted by their conscience

[00:19:49] went out one by one being with the oldest even to the last

[00:19:57] and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing in the mist

[00:20:03] when Jesus had raised himself up and saw no one but the woman he said to her woman where are your

[00:20:11] accusers of you? Has no one condemned you? She said no one Lord and Jesus said to her neither do I

[00:20:25] condemn you go and see no more. See and that still goes on today we will have people

[00:20:38] to try to test us if you want to look at it like that people will try to test you

[00:20:47] but we must do with Jesus then just do down and right on the ground I mean I don't mean literally

[00:20:58] y'all but I mean just ignore it people will come to you with all kinds of stuff

[00:21:07] just to see what you will say or do but remember Jesus had told them early on I only do what I

[00:21:22] see my father do so there was no need for a reply

[00:21:33] because God don't answer to us we answered him he is not a respecter or persons

[00:21:42] and Jesus told us in the beginning I only do what I see my father do

[00:21:49] and that is us as the people today nothing has changed we should only be doing what we see our

[00:21:58] father do on our father in heaven loving one another helping one another when we see a need

[00:22:09] in his and our means God will provide if you're walking with them

[00:22:14] raising up a nation of love he didn't condemn this woman instead he stooped and ignored the crowd

[00:22:30] and we as people we still like the point to fingers I'm always telling my audience you guys that I

[00:22:38] have a love-8 relationship with social media because sometimes social media could be a mess

[00:22:47] putting things out there pointing fingers at people doing the most judging people as if we don't

[00:22:54] have some things that we had to contend with some of us are just good at hiding our faults

[00:23:09] and some of us get caught in the open as this young lady did

[00:23:16] in the act but it is not for us to pass judgment if you remember when we read last week

[00:23:26] Jesus talked about just that he talked about us not passing judgment he talked about us not having

[00:23:42] fault with anyone he talked about his father being the judge in the jury so who are we

[00:23:53] to condemn somebody whether they got caught openly or not our job is to pray for that brother

[00:24:02] or that sister in Christ we've got a lot going on in today's world a lot of things are unfolding

[00:24:17] especially in our celebrity world and that's just about all I'm going to tap on that one

[00:24:30] but God did saying his word everything comes to light was done in the dark will come to light

[00:24:36] but it is not our job to execute the judgment be the judge in the juror our job as Christians are

[00:24:47] to pray for our brothers and sisters and say good examples only do what we see our father do

[00:24:58] but pray for the ones that have fallen that's the good thing about it most of us

[00:25:04] to walk around quoting a bunch of scripture but did you ask God what that scripture really meant

[00:25:13] did you meditate on it because he tells us in this word when we judge judge righteously and some

[00:25:24] people say that well I can judge because I go to church no you can't you got to sweep up around

[00:25:28] your own front door before you start sweeping up around somebody else's you got to get yourself

[00:25:34] and we'll none of us have ever robbed and I'll keep saying that I'll keep saying that to the day I die

[00:25:41] the only one that I know that arrived was Jesus Christ pray for your brother pray for that sister pray

[00:25:49] for that situation but don't be like these people because all God did was Jesus did was stoop down

[00:26:00] and he said he without sin among you let him throw the first stone

[00:26:10] so be careful who you point fingers at and I had to learn that and still learning it sometimes we

[00:26:17] make mistakes and we slip up and say something abs and mindly that we're not to say I've been there

[00:26:24] could kick myself in my own rear end open up my mouth and just start talking

[00:26:34] but the Holy Spirit are getting somewhere and convict me later on and say Victoria you know you

[00:26:39] shouldn't say that you shouldn't have done that no matter how you didn't like what that person said

[00:26:44] or how that person was behaving it is not your job remove yourself from the situation and that

[00:26:53] away it won't follow on you because sometimes we'll get thee by association and everything that

[00:27:02] looks good is not always good for us sometimes we can't attach ourselves to certain situations but we

[00:27:10] can go and pray if we see something that's not right pray for that brother pray for that sister

[00:27:19] but everything that we see is not always good for us

[00:27:28] but Jesus asked her he raised himself up and saw no one but the woman he said to her woman where are

[00:27:37] those accusers of yours has no one come dimmed you and she said no one Lord and Jesus said neither do I

[00:27:50] condemn you go and send no more then Jesus spoke to them again saying I am the light of the world

[00:28:00] he who follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life

[00:28:09] the Pharisees therefore say to him you bear witness of yourself your witness is not true

[00:28:17] Jesus answered and said to them even if I bear witness of myself my witness is true for I know where

[00:28:26] I came from and where I am going but you do not know where I came from and where I am going

[00:28:35] you judge according to the flesh I judge no one and yet if I do judge my judgment is true

[00:28:45] for I am not alone but I am with the father who sent me it is also written in your law that

[00:28:53] the testimony of two men is true I am one who bears witness of myself and the father who sent me

[00:29:03] bears witness of me then they said to him where is your father and Jesus answered you know neither

[00:29:13] me nor my father if you had known me you would have known my father also

[00:29:20] these words Jesus spoke in the treasury as he taught in the temple and no one laid hand on him for his

[00:29:29] hour had not yet come then Jesus said to them again I am going away and you will seek me

[00:29:38] and I will die in your sin where I go you cannot come

[00:29:50] I remember reading in the Old Testament where God had said I look for someone to swear by

[00:30:01] and found no one so I had to swear by myself he looked for someone righteous enough to swear by

[00:30:10] and couldn't find anyone but I had to swear by himself now my Bible tells me remember in the beginning

[00:30:24] of John and the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God

[00:30:39] so in Jesus saying here

[00:30:44] I am one who bears witness myself and the father who sent me bears witness of me

[00:30:58] we already know that we know the God wrapped himself up in flesh

[00:31:06] his son walked

[00:31:07] for you and me and he said if you know me

[00:31:20] then neither he said if you know neither me or neither my father

[00:31:25] because if you had known me you would have also known my father

[00:31:29] as he was teaching he gave them a gem and they still didn't believe as much as we do today we

[00:31:41] still don't believe then Jesus said to them again I am going away and you will seek me

[00:31:51] and I will die and you and he said Jesus said to them again I am going away and you will seek me

[00:31:59] and will die in your sin where I go you cannot come so the Jews said

[00:32:08] will he kill himself because he says where you go

[00:32:14] you cannot come and he said to them you are you are from beneath I am from above

[00:32:23] you are of this world I am not of this world therefore I say to you that you will die in your sins

[00:32:35] for if you do not believe that I am he you will die in your sins

[00:32:43] then he said then they said to him who are you and Jesus said to them just what I've been saying

[00:32:52] to you from the beginning I have many things to say and to judge concerning you

[00:33:03] but he who sent me is true and I speak to the world those things which I heard from him

[00:33:10] they did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father then Jesus said to them

[00:33:22] when you lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself

[00:33:33] but as my Father taught me I speak these things and he who sent me is with me the Father has not left me

[00:33:48] alone for I always do those things that please him

[00:33:54] as he spoke these words many believed in him then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him if you

[00:34:08] abide in my word you are my disciples indeed let me read that again if you abide in my word

[00:34:22] you are my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free

[00:34:33] and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free they answered him

[00:34:41] we are Abraham's descendants and have never been in bondage to anyone

[00:34:49] how can you say you will be made free

[00:34:56] Jesus answered them most is surely I say to you whoever commits sin is a slave of sin

[00:35:07] and a slave does not abide in the house forever but his son abides forever

[00:35:13] let me read that again most is surely I say to you whoever commits sin is a slave of sin

[00:35:27] and a slave does not abide in the house forever but his son abides forever

[00:35:33] therefore if the son makes you free you shall be free indeed

[00:35:42] I know that you are Abraham's descendants but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you

[00:35:53] I speak what I've seen with my Father and you do what you have seen with your Father

[00:36:03] they answered and said to him Abraham is our Father

[00:36:08] Jesus said to them if you were Abraham's children you would do the works of Abraham

[00:36:19] but now you seek to kill me a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God

[00:36:27] Abraham did not do this you do the deeds of your Father

[00:36:39] then they said to him we were not born of fornication

[00:36:45] we have one Father God and Jesus said to them if God were your Father would you love me

[00:36:55] for I proceed forth and came from God nor have I come of my own self but he sent me

[00:37:07] why do you not understand my speech because you are not able to listen to my words

[00:37:14] you are of your Father the devil and the desires of your Father you want to do

[00:37:25] he was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth because there is no truth in him

[00:37:34] when he speaks and lie he speaks from his own resource for he is a liar and the Father of it

[00:37:44] but because I tell the truth you do not believe me which of you convicts me of sin and if I tell the

[00:37:58] true why do you not believe me he who is of God hears God's words therefore you do not hear

[00:38:08] because you are not of God then the Jews answered and said to him we do not say rightly

[00:38:20] that you are a Submaritan and have a demon and Jesus answered I do not have a demon but I honor my Father

[00:38:29] and you dishonor me I do not seek my own glory there is one who seeks and judges most assurably I say

[00:38:42] to you if anyone keeps my word he shall never die he'll never see death then the Jews said to him

[00:38:52] now we know that you have a demon Abraham is dead and the prophets and they say if anyone

[00:39:04] keeps my word he shall never taste death are you greater than our Father Abraham who is dead

[00:39:13] and the prophets who are dead who do you make yourself out to be and Jesus answered

[00:39:21] if I honor myself my honor is nothing it is my Father who honors me of whom you say that he is your God

[00:39:34] yet you have not known him but I know him and if I say I do not know him I shall be a liar like you

[00:39:43] but I know him and keep his word your Father Abraham rejoice to see that my day and he saw it and was glad

[00:39:57] then the Jews said to him you are not yet 50 years old and you have seen Abraham

[00:40:06] and Jesus said to them most assurably I say to you before Abraham was I am

[00:40:20] then they took up stones to throw at him but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple

[00:40:29] going through the midst of them and said and so passed by guys I've read this

[00:40:40] so many times and I always get another Jew I always get another Jew

[00:40:50] he said to them in chapter 8 verse 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you

[00:41:00] but he who sent me his true and I speak to the world those things which I heard of him number one

[00:41:09] that is what we are to do as Christians as disciples for the God speak the truth

[00:41:19] he also said when you lived up to son of man then you'll know that I am he and that I do nothing

[00:41:28] of myself but as my Father taught me I speak these things and we talked about that early on

[00:41:36] as my Father taught me I speak these things he's all he's dropping gyms

[00:41:44] but they still don't believe much is we do the day

[00:41:58] he told me you're not free

[00:42:02] he said you seek to kill me and if Abraham was your father then you would do

[00:42:10] as Abraham because you all commit and sin chapter 8 verse 34 says to me Jesus answered them most

[00:42:26] surely I say to you whoever commits sin is a slave of sin and it's slave does not abide in the

[00:42:34] house forever but a son abides forever therefore if the son makes you free you shall be free

[00:42:41] indeed if Jesus makes you free if God makes you free he goes on to tell them I know that you are

[00:42:48] Abraham's descendants but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you and that's

[00:42:58] what I'm telling you guys we all gotta get in God's word we don't fashion us ourselves after people

[00:43:09] but we fashion ourselves by the world the law the commandments that God gave to Moses

[00:43:20] but by faith Abraham was counted righteous

[00:43:32] because God wants us to have faith these people don't understand and it's kind of like today

[00:43:40] I'm not understanding nothing new is under the sun King Solomon wrote that nothing new is under the

[00:43:52] sun Abraham believed by faith what we're supposed to do but we are so busy questioning one another

[00:44:05] in question and things that we don't have that faith that Abraham had like our book tells us now

[00:44:16] faith this is substance of things hoped for but the evidence of things not seen

[00:44:24] so if we can get our minds and our hearts lined up with God's love in his word

[00:44:39] and not look upon people and things

[00:44:43] and just go with the flow God said his people are particular people he sent aside the

[00:44:54] Israel lights for himself even though they were stiff neck people disobedient that's what he

[00:45:01] got them stiff neck people disobedient hard headed as we call it

[00:45:12] but he still loves us and that's what we're supposed to do as the people no matter what someone

[00:45:21] did insult you or said something about you or looked on you a certain way as the people

[00:45:28] we're supposed to set our differences aside come together as one person

[00:45:40] come together to help our neighbors help our friends help our family member not condemn them

[00:45:46] and we supposed to believe with all our heart that anything that God said that will come to pass it

[00:45:52] will come to pass you got a weight in expectation he said anything that you ask in my name so

[00:46:01] she'll be and then he said when two or more are gathered in the midst so am I there I'm there in

[00:46:07] the midst two or more gathered I am there so in the midst let me get it right sometimes I get to

[00:46:16] talking so fast so just imagine if we all come together

[00:46:28] and he said to them if you were Abraham's children you would not you would do the works of Abraham

[00:46:34] and some of us sometimes gotta go back and read on Abraham and Moses

[00:46:43] my season uh likes to tease me about reading the Old Testament a lot and I finally realized for myself

[00:46:54] that it keeps me grounded it keeps me disciplined it reminds me of what not to do and what to do

[00:47:06] but guys read the word for yourself we are going to be taking a break I have ran my season five

[00:47:26] from November I think it's November the first I took the month of October off and I have not

[00:47:34] taken a break since then so I will continue to read the word as I do it's a part of my daily life

[00:47:47] I don't feel good if I don't get something in a sentence a chapter verse

[00:47:56] but I will not be doing any uploading

[00:48:00] to Spotify Amazon Apple and any of your audio lists and platforms but it will be on our YouTube channel

[00:48:12] I am going to take off the first two weeks in April with today being April first

[00:48:20] I will be taking off for two weeks but as I read my daily word I will still read it openly

[00:48:29] on my YouTube channel I just won't be going through upload net to the listening platforms

[00:48:38] and I just kind of wanted to take a break from having to schedule in some time to do this with you guys

[00:48:47] I just needed a break but I still encourage you to do as I do I get up and pray

[00:48:55] I get up and find something the meditator guys were make my coffee

[00:49:01] and sit and read a while whether it's five minutes or an hour

[00:49:08] this morning we're running a little long because I decided to read what I was going to read anyway

[00:49:15] with you guys instead of reading by myself then coming back as a young folks say double dipping

[00:49:21] because that's what I'll be doing but you can't get too much of God's word but that's what I do

[00:49:26] when I decide to read with you guys I'll read with myself or read the night before

[00:49:31] but that was something else that I wanted to tell you guys about

[00:49:36] in God's word he said you know if you draw close to me draw not me I draw not you

[00:49:43] which means if you draw close to me I draw close to you but you gotta ask him first you gotta ask

[00:49:50] him to be a part of your life you gotta ask him on a daily basis and I'm still new in my wall

[00:50:00] I'm still fresh in my wall and sometimes I'll say something and I have one of my seasons people

[00:50:09] come around and correct me on something that I'll say but I don't get offended

[00:50:16] I go back and I get in my word

[00:50:21] my scripture tells me that I am to stay in God's word

[00:50:30] but use it as a roadmap he didn't tell me to study and search the scripture

[00:50:40] to get to know him he told me to call out to him

[00:50:46] if I ask him to come on in the room Jesus come on in the room Holy Spirit come on in the room

[00:50:51] and rest awhile teach me today but he didn't ask me

[00:51:04] to sit here all day but he did ask me for some of my time

[00:51:13] in a loud room for correction and my now you're in me because I tell you the truth

[00:51:19] that's what Paul said that's what Jesus just said he said most assurantly I say to you before

[00:51:28] Abraham was I am he was the great I am Jesus God Yahweh many many names I am the great I am we

[00:51:45] debate these days of anonsense instead of keeping our eye on the prize which is the great I am

[00:51:55] if you are a Christian and you walk in with God in his word you want his word to be extra

[00:52:01] cross the tables of your heart and you're in his word and you're seeking him for yourself he

[00:52:07] didn't tell you to seek him from Susie Q in the world even this podcast I'm sharing

[00:52:15] I'm sharing I'm sharing

[00:52:23] don't do things of your own self but for the glory of God even when I'm not on this podcast and I'm in

[00:52:30] conversation I'm sharing I'm always finding a way to share and sometimes I don't even go look

[00:52:39] into share it's just the way that the conversation may go and I have to tell whoever I'm talking

[00:52:46] to at that particular time about what God has done for me and I'm still going through some things

[00:52:57] but my Bible also gives me another gem don't let you laugh man know what you right hand know

[00:53:02] some things I may share some things I might hold close to the vest

[00:53:12] but I know to go into my secret dwell in place and talk with my Heavenly Father the great I am

[00:53:23] because he told me in his word that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him

[00:53:33] he said seek the first the kingdom of heaven and all things will be added to you which means

[00:53:39] I gotta go straight in term right I can't go left

[00:53:45] I gotta take a little bit in on a daily basis

[00:53:52] whatever I read for that day

[00:53:54] meditate on it when I'm alone in my thoughts meditate on what he just told these people

[00:54:09] he said I can do nothing by myself but as my father teach me I speak these things

[00:54:15] so I'm gonna I'm gonna speak what my father is teaching me

[00:54:24] he says don't bear witness of yourself because you're witnessing true

[00:54:32] he said but even if I bear witness of myself my witness is true for I know where I came from and where

[00:54:42] I am going remember these things remember something a sentence that we read

[00:54:56] because mostly surely I tell you I know you're not wasting your time getting up listening

[00:55:02] just for audio audiobook

[00:55:05] you're listening because you're seeking God's word and may have not may may not have time to read it

[00:55:14] that morning as you ran out on your way but I hope and pray that God is using me as a vessel

[00:55:22] to get something to someone that has the desire to know him for their self pick up your word share

[00:55:30] your word share God's love and we'll see you right back here on any of our hosting platforms Spotify
