[00:01:29] ...with gratefulness in our heart.

[00:01:34] We come to you this morning, Father God, thanking you, thanking you for your grace and your mercy

[00:01:42] because we know that it is new every single day of our life.

[00:01:47] Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning for every...

[00:01:52] ...working organ, every moving lamb, every beating heart, every eyesight to see, ears take here.

[00:02:03] Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning because you said in your word, Lord, that you knew us

[00:02:11] when we were in our mother's wound, Father God.

[00:02:14] We thank you this morning, Father God, for everything that you're doing and our lives

[00:02:21] for the nighting and the covenant that you have placed over us, Father God.

[00:02:26] We thank you this morning for the hedge of protection that you put around us, O Lord,

[00:02:33] your shield that you promised us in your word, Heavenly Father,

[00:02:39] that no woman's form against us shall prosper,

[00:02:43] and that he who dwells in the secret place in his secret place, O Lord,

[00:02:49] shall abide under almighty shadow.

[00:02:52] You said in your word, Lord, that you will be our refuge. You are our comfort.

[00:02:57] Heavenly Father, we just bless your name this morning,

[00:03:01] for all that you've done and all that you will do in our lives, Father God.

[00:03:06] Heavenly Father, direct our paths on this day.

[00:03:10] Lead us out of the dark into the light.

[00:03:14] Let our light shine ever so brightly for your glory.

[00:03:18] Heavenly Father, we thank you for interceding on our behalf, O Heavenly Father,

[00:03:25] and all things that we do, Father God, we thank you for the direction.

[00:03:29] We thank you for the healing.

[00:03:32] We thank you, Father God, for giving the increase in our lives spiritually,

[00:03:38] financially.

[00:03:40] Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning for sitting up high and looking down low.

[00:03:47] We thank you for interceding on our behalf, Father God,

[00:03:52] when we call out to you, Lord.

[00:03:56] We thank you, Father God, for granted us grace and mercy.

[00:04:02] We thank you for instilling in us, Father God, to have faith,

[00:04:07] as small as a mustard seed, and speak it.

[00:04:14] Speak it in our lives.

[00:04:16] We thank you this morning for your wisdom that you so graciously give us

[00:04:23] for the understanding, O Heavenly Father.

[00:04:27] We thank you this morning, Father God, that we can fall down and get back up

[00:04:33] and you meet us right where we act.

[00:04:37] We just bless your name this morning.

[00:04:41] Hallelujah to your name, because you are worthy to be placed.

[00:04:48] We take nothing for granted that you're doing in our lives, Father God.

[00:04:52] Any areas in our life that's unpleasing unto you, O Heavenly Father,

[00:04:57] we ask right now in the name of Jesus.

[00:05:01] We plead the blood over our lives right now, Father God,

[00:05:08] that you remove it from us, that you work through us, O Heavenly Father,

[00:05:16] and make an eye-cricut path straight on this day.

[00:05:19] Heavenly Father, forgive us for anything that we said or done or thought

[00:05:24] that was unpleasing unto you, Father God.

[00:05:27] We know that you're able to do all things,

[00:05:30] and we just bless your name this morning, Lord.

[00:05:34] And we thank you for what you've already done in our lives

[00:05:39] and what you are about to do, Father God.

[00:05:41] We thank you for your vision, your direction, and your insight.

[00:05:47] In Jesus' name, we pray, amen, and amen, guys.

[00:05:53] I hope everybody is feeling blessed on this beautiful, beautiful Friday

[00:05:59] afternoon.

[00:06:00] And I know, I know, it's getting a little bit later and later,

[00:06:04] but those of you that listen to my regular show,

[00:06:08] you know, I've been back and forth at the doctor's office, chiropractor,

[00:06:12] physical therapy, hubby and I are sharing a car,

[00:06:17] and it's making it a little bit difficult for me to get it out there

[00:06:21] to you guys sooner than later, but the word is the word.

[00:06:28] Reading of the word is the word.

[00:06:30] It doesn't matter what time of day.

[00:06:33] And he's working it out for his good.

[00:06:36] So this is going to be real brief this morning.

[00:06:39] This afternoon, should I say, because we got a special guest coming on

[00:06:43] on tomorrow.

[00:06:44] We're going to have a special edition of morning inspiration.

[00:06:48] So let me go ahead and get the house cleaning out of the way first.

[00:06:51] So tomorrow we'll have Pastor Keith or Minister Keith,

[00:06:56] who is our former out of Virginia.

[00:06:59] He's coming on and we're going to have a conversation about how he was

[00:07:03] brought to Christ and walking in faith, building up your endurance.

[00:07:09] That's going to be a special edition tomorrow.

[00:07:12] January 27th at 1 p.m.

[00:07:15] It's going to be live right here on our YouTube, Facebook and in our

[00:07:20] community.

[00:07:27] I hope you guys come along and join us.

[00:07:30] I did put it out on the Facebook channel and the events creation.

[00:07:35] So if you're interested, just tap in, stop on by and you'll be able to

[00:07:38] people on stage. If you want to ask the minister some questions, it's just going to be a candid conversation. Moving forward with the show. I've decided that 12th Street Talk back, presenting morning inspirations. We're going to stay there. That's where my heart is. Um, that's what I've been called to do. And there's no need to dribble and dance.

[00:08:05] I don't need to dribble and dabble in any other areas with my weekly show.

[00:08:15] And I feel good about the decision. It's something I've been wrestling with in my spirit. However, we're going to do Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. We'll be doing morning inspirations as planned.

[00:08:29] And then Fridays, instead of doing morning inspiration and scripture will be doing morning inspirations with a special guest, someone that comes in that want to share their testimony. I have some amazing guests coming on.

[00:08:43] So starting February the 2nd, we'll start having guests on the show to share their testimony and whatever organization that they're a part of what God has done for them so that they can show you what it actually looks like to stand on God's word. What faith really means.

[00:09:06] And I know you've heard my story. Um, but we live in a world now where people have to see touch and feel. Even though our Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.

[00:09:28] I think a lot has been misplaced where it comes to our faith well, our spiritual walk.

[00:09:39] So I believe in my heart that God is rising up, or raising up his people like he did with the Israelites, his sons, we are his people.

[00:09:56] And to bring the misunderstood the misguided information back into the churches back into our homes.

[00:10:07] Not being pushy, not being oppressive, but having that conversation, letting people know that Jesus Christ our Lord and say, well, he is your friend.

[00:10:19] You can come to him. You can talk to him.

[00:10:23] And then they're with open arms, and it's baby steps.

[00:10:28] Baby steps.

[00:10:31] Just like when he sent the manna from heaven that his sons, his children, the Israelites, mumbled and grumbled and complained about later on as happy as they were to come out of Egypt from being oppressed.

[00:10:50] And some of us are being mumbled and grumbled.

[00:10:53] So 12 street top back is strictly going to be morning inspirations from here on out.

[00:11:02] Morning inspiration spent off on Friday will be freedom Fridays and friends for some of our regular followers. I know you're used to it being freedom Fridays, gal chat, and we still will have an episode of that here and there with my co host, Miss Reary.

[00:11:19] But moving forward, it would be freedom Fridays and friends, because my co host, she has a life too outside of, you know, being on the show and we want to respect her privacy and the things that she has going on.

[00:11:33] And this is my full time job. This is my full time job running for God.

[00:11:40] Getting his word out there to you guys. So this morning, we're going to get into the third epistle of john, and I said it was going to be light, simply because, um, simply because I want it to be very quick.

[00:12:06] And what we're doing today, because we have the guests coming on on tomorrow. So you guys join us and welcome.

[00:12:15] Minister Keith to the show.

[00:12:18] And any questions that you might have about your faith walk, if you're new to it.

[00:12:24] If you want some more information about something that you read in scripture that you're new to.

[00:12:31] He'll be able to answer it to the best of his ability. Everybody's walk is not the same.

[00:12:38] Everything that we encounter on a daily basis is not the same, but God's word is the same. It is everlasting.

[00:12:49] So let's go ahead and get into this word real quick. And thank you guys for joining us as well.

[00:12:57] You know, I wanted to say in the comments and I keep forgetting to pin this in the comments on certain stations.

[00:13:10] You to Facebook, you can ask to come up to the stage. If you like to be a part of the show. And it's right there. Up on your screen.

[00:13:22] All you have to do is follow the link and it'll let me know.

[00:13:26] Just like somebody's at the door at a ring a doorbell and you're more than wake up. Welcome to come up and be a part of the morning aspirations on Friday.

[00:13:38] You know, Monday's and Wednesday's, but on Friday's. So let's go ahead and get into his word.

[00:13:44] Thank you God for the fellowship this morning and those that have ears let them hear as well as Lord.

[00:13:53] Empty me of myself and fill me up with your word, Holy Spirit and direct my path and my tone.

[00:14:05] So in third John, I'm going to read the passage and third John, the epistles encourage fellowship with Christian brothers following this expression of the love.

[00:14:16] Agaias, John assures him of his prayers for health and voices his joy of Agaias persistent walk and true and for the matter in which he shows hospitality and supports of missionaries who have come to his church.

[00:14:38] But not everyone in the church feels the same way, diatry, diatry fees, heart is 180 degrees remove from Gaias heart.

[00:14:53] He is no longer living in love. Pride has taken precedence in his life. He has refused a letter from John.

[00:15:04] Written for the church, fearing that his authority might be superseded by the apostles.

[00:15:12] has accused John of evil words and refuse to accept ministries. He forbids others to do so, even

[00:15:21] expels them from the church if they're disobedient to him. John uses negative examples as an opportunity

[00:15:30] to encourage Gaius to continue his hospitality. Dimitri has a good testimony and even may be

[00:15:42] one of those turned away from diatries. He's widely known for his good character and his loyalty

[00:15:50] to truth. Here he is well commended by John and stands as a positive example for Gaius.

[00:16:00] And the letter goes a little bit like this guys. The elder to the beloved Gaius who my love

[00:16:11] in truth. Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and being good health just as your

[00:16:18] soul prospers. For I rejoice greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you

[00:16:27] just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my true children walk in truth.

[00:16:37] Beloved you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and the strangers who have

[00:16:45] borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a

[00:16:52] manner worthy of God you will do well because they went forth for his namesake taking nothing

[00:17:00] from the Gentiles. We therefore are to receive such that we may become fellow workers of the truth.

[00:17:09] I wrote to the church but diatry feeds who loves to have precedence among them does not receive us.

[00:17:23] Therefore if I come I will call to mine his deeds which he has done pranting against us

[00:17:31] with malicious words and not content content with that he himself does not receive the brethren

[00:17:40] and forbids those who wish to put them putting them out of their church. Beloved do not

[00:17:49] imitate what is evil but what is good. He who does good is of God but who who does evil has not seen

[00:17:58] God. Demetrius has a good testimony for all and from the truth itself and we also bear witness

[00:18:09] and know that our testimony is true. I had many things to write but I do not wish to write you

[00:18:18] with pen and ink but I hope to see you shortly and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you

[00:18:25] our friends greet you greet the friends by name.

[00:18:31] So here I talked about this a little bit yesterday

[00:18:41] when I say it isn't it wonderful to think about how God wishes for us above all things

[00:18:56] that we be in good health and our soul prospers

[00:19:07] and that has been on my mind for a little bit and

[00:19:13] I thought why not I got up in the middle of the night I believe it was Tuesday or Wednesday and

[00:19:23] I just couldn't get that out of my head the love I pray that you may prosper in all things

[00:19:31] and be in good health as your soul prospers and I wanted to read about it

[00:19:38] I wanted to break it down from the commentary because my spirit wanted me to know

[00:19:46] exactly as I'm speaking those worlds

[00:19:53] what it meant truly truly that's why I say to you guys I've got two things

[00:20:03] one don't fashion yourself after people fashion yourself after the word it's great

[00:20:14] to come and listen to the morning inspirations and read along with me so that you can check me

[00:20:23] and as your sister in Christ I should receive that with no opposition and vice-versa

[00:20:35] to speak the word speak the word most people say manifest

[00:20:48] but speak the word over your life because God gave us that power to do that

[00:20:55] this letter was encouraging to gay us to walk in his truth to stick to it

[00:21:05] but as we talked about on last Friday rightly dividing the word of truth

[00:21:17] as I started my faith walk a couple years ago I was going around repeating everything that I

[00:21:24] heard my mother had said and I'm sure she heard her mother say it but that is what God gave them

[00:21:32] and they knew the true meaning as I stepped into my calling and start etching the words of his daily

[00:21:42] bread across the tables of my heart God started to give me the meaning

[00:21:47] feeling me up with his living water that he promised to all of us that if we drink of it we

[00:21:55] won't have to thirst anymore so now I can stand on the word and live my life by the word

[00:22:08] according to the measure in which he gives it to me and I don't know everything so I say

[00:22:14] steal even with you following along in the word read the word for yourself it's great to listen

[00:22:22] to your bishops ministers evangelist and I've told you guys before but just in case for my new

[00:22:30] listeners my grandmother had a saying whenever you're listening to the word

[00:22:38] in church gather together

[00:22:43] write some in for yourself

[00:22:49] You'll know what's for you and the rest just scoot it to the other side of the plate think about it as food don't throw it away because you never know when you may want to go back and you'll need those leftovers but what's for you is for you so i'm not saying not to listen to your leaders but if you stay in your world God will give you your answers.

[00:23:18] And encourage your fellow sisters and brothers we are sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus.

[00:23:28] Christ is about love that i got they love that you can't get from your peers sometimes you can't even

[00:23:36] get them from your family members or strangers. He's not about bitterness hate oppression

[00:23:46] misdirection and here we see John has written written to Gaze and talked about standing in his

[00:23:58] truth being true to who you are and continuing to tell his testimony so i thought this will be very

[00:24:07] befitting going into our new season not the season of the show not the season of 2024 but

[00:24:18] the new season that God has placed us in.

[00:24:24] God is not a respecter of persons and I learned a long time ago in the Old Testament.

[00:24:33] And you'll take to Cali for us counting our blessings.

[00:24:37] If many of you know the story I believe of David when he wanted to count the army.

[00:24:46] Jesus took censors he had Moses take censors

[00:24:51] and this is for my creators thank you holy spirit thank you holy spirit

[00:25:02] we all have been there we're checking our numbers checking our backboards

[00:25:08] checking our following I've been there my husband can attest to that

[00:25:11] and it's not moving the needle about what we do because we can do nothing in our name

[00:25:21] but if you have a personal relationship with our heavenly father all things can be done in his name

[00:25:31] and that faith that he told you you could have to move mountains that small muster seed faith

[00:25:41] things will start to move as long as you keep God's hand in it

[00:25:46] and not put your hands in it and that's in your life

[00:25:55] that's in whatever you do if you're an entrepreneur content creator business man or woman

[00:26:03] he does deposit ideas in our spirit but take it to him first and he will give you an answer

[00:26:13] but when you get that answer when you get that answer it will come in the most

[00:26:20] unusual way maybe something that you don't know anything about

[00:26:25] and you're scared to step out on that faith that's your confirmation

[00:26:31] that's your confirmation to step out on faith but I hope that you guys enjoyed this message today

[00:26:44] I hope you guys join us on tomorrow. And Pastor Keith will be in the building

[00:26:55] and I hope that

[00:27:02] he can give us some insight if you're new to the show

[00:27:13] thank you for joining us today I did have it written out from my commentary but God

[00:27:22] he's amazing he does something different every single day

[00:27:26] every single day he does something different

[00:27:30] so I think that was self-explanatory trust into in what God is depositing on the inside of you

[00:27:40] and I'm going to leave it right there I'm not going to follow up with my second thought thank you

[00:27:49] Holy Spirit but I will say this guys don't forget August 9th and 10th summer 2024 leadership
