Speaker 1 (00:03):
Psalm chapter fourteen. Only fools say in their hearts there
is no God. They are corrupt, and their actions are evil.
Not one of them does good. The Lord looks down
from heaven on the entire human race. He looks to
see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.
(00:28):
But no, All have turned away, all have become corrupt.
No one does good, not a single one will Those
who do evil never learn. They eat up my people
like bread, and wouldn't think of praying to the Lord.
(00:51):
Terror will grip them, For God is with those who
obey him. The wicked frustrate the plans of the old pressed.
But the Lord will protect his people, who will come
from Mountain Zion to rescue Israel. When the Lord restores
(01:12):
his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
Psalm chapter fifteen. Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord,
Who may into your presence in your holy hell? Those
(01:32):
who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking
the truth from sincere hearts. Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors, or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful, followers
(01:54):
of the Lord and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot
be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will
stand firm forever. Psalm chapter sixteen. Keep me safe, oh God,
(02:21):
for I have come to you for refuge. I said
to the Lord, you are my master. Every good thing
I have comes from you. The godly people in the
land are my true heroes. I take pleasure in them.
Troubles multiply. For those who chase after other gods, I
(02:45):
will not take part in their sacrifices of blood, or
even speak the names of their gods. Lord, you alone
are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all
that is mine. The land you have given me is
a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance. I will bless
(03:11):
the Lord who guides me. Even at night, my heart
instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder. My heart is glad, and I rejoice. My
(03:31):
body rests in safety, for you will not leave my
soul among the dead, or allow your holy one to
rot in the grave. You will show me the way
of life, granting me the joy of your presence and
the pleasures of living with you forever. Psalm chapter seventeen.
(04:03):
Oh Lord, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my
cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, for it
comes from honest lips. Declare me innocent, for you see
those who do right. You have tested my thoughts and
examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me
(04:26):
and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin
in what I say. I have followed your commands, which
keep me from following cruel and evil people. My steps
have stayed on your path. I have not wavered from
following you. I am praying to you because I know
(04:49):
you will answer. Oh God, been down and listen as
I pray. Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways.
By your mighty power. You rescue those who seek refuge
from their enemies. Guard me as you would guard your
own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
(05:13):
Protect me from wicked people who attack me, from murderous
enemies who surround me. They are without pity. Listen to
their boastings. They track me down and surround me, watching
for the chance to throw me to the ground. They
are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart, like
(05:37):
young lions hiding in ambush. Arise, O, Lord, stand against
them and bring them to their knees. Rescue me from
the wicked with your sword. By the power of your hand,
O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for
(05:58):
their reward, but satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones.
May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
Because I am righteous, I will see you when I awake.
I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
(06:27):
Song Chapter eighteen. I love you, Lord. You are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior.
My God is my rock in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me and
(06:50):
my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who
was worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.
The ropes of death ANDed me, floods of destruction swept
over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me. Death
laid a trap in my path. But in my distress,
(07:11):
I cried out to the Lord. Yes, I prayed to
my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary.
My cry to him reached his ears. Then the earth
quaked and trembled. Foundations of the mountains shook. They quaked
(07:32):
because of his anger. Smoke poured from his nostrils. Fierce
flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
He opened the heavens and came down. Dark storm clouds
were beneath his feet. Mounted on a mighty angelic being,
he flew soaring on the wings of the wind. He
shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.
(07:55):
Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him and rained down
hay and burning coals. The Lord thundered from heaven. The
voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and
burning coals. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemy.
Great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused. Then
(08:19):
at your command, o Lord, at the blast of your breath,
the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the
foundations of the earth were laid bare. He reached down
from heaven and rescued me. He drew me out of
deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies from
(08:41):
those who hated me and were too strong for me.
They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,
but the Lord supported me. He led me to a
place of safety. He rescued me because he delights in me.
The Lord rewarded me for doing right. He restored me
(09:03):
because of my innocence. For I have kept the ways
of the Lord. I have not turned from my God
to follow evil. I have followed all his regulations. I've
never abandoned his decrees. I am blameless before God. I
have kept myself from sin. The Lord rewarded me for
doing right. He has seen my innocence. To the faithful,
(09:30):
you show yourself faithful to those with integrity. You show
integrity to the poor, you show yourself pure. To the pure,
you show yourself pure. But to the crooked, you show
yourself shrewd. You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud.
You light a lamp for me, The Lord, my God,
(09:53):
lights up my darkness. In your strength, I can crush
an army. With God God, I can scale any wall.
God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him.
For protection. For who is God except the Lord, who
(10:17):
but our God is a solid rock. God arms me
with strength, and he makes my way perfect. He makes
me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand
on mountain heights. He trains my hands for battle. He
strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. You have
(10:37):
given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me.
Your help has made me great. You have made a
wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.
I chased my enemies and caught them. I did not
stop until they were conquered. I struck them down so
they could not get up. They fell beneath my feet.
(11:02):
You have armed me with You have armed me with
strength for the battle. You have subdued my enemies under
my feet. You placed my foot on their necks. I
have destroyed all who hated me. They called for help,
but no one came to their rescue. They even cried
to the Lord, but he refused to answer. I ground
(11:26):
them as fine as dust in the wind. I swept
them into the gutter like dirt. You gave me victory
over my accusers. You appointed me ruler of a nation's people.
I don't even know now serve me. As soon as
they hear of me, they submit. Foreign nations cringe before me.
(11:48):
They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds.
The Lord lives. Praise my rock. May the God of
my salvage be exalted. He is the god who pays
back those who harm me. He subdues the nations under
me and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me
(12:12):
safe beyond the reach of my enemies. You save me
from violent opponents. For this, Oh Lord, I will praise
you among the nations. I will sing Praise is to
your name. You give great victories to your king. You
show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all
his descendants forever.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Amen. Hello Frem. Thank you so much for being with
us in this podcast over the airwaves of YouTube or
wherever you find your podcasts. Thank you so much for
being apart. Make sure to subscribe, turn on notifications, and
feel free to share this information with anyone who you
(13:01):
believe could use a little bit more power in their lives.
Speaking of power, be sure to join us on Sunday
mornings as we gather together in the Cincinnati area at
five six one six Wolfpen, Pleasant Hill Road in Milford, Ohio.
We will be in the upper room at General Dentistry
(13:23):
ten thirty am on Sunday mornings is when we gather together.
We have an empowerment session immediately after the broadcast. This
is where the true powerful living is put into practice.
If you want to come together and work on something
with me one on one coaching in a group setting,
(13:48):
then you want to be a part of the empowerment sessions.
I cannot tell you how many testimonies and how much
transformation has occurred as a result of these empowerment setis
you want to be here the church being the church
people coming in with their stuff, working on it with me,
(14:09):
using biblical principles and getting real transformation in real time
so that we ourselves can be empowered. Then we can
be able to go and empower others. My friend, that
is what powerful living is. So you definitely want to
join us in the empowerment sessions in person, and also
(14:30):
you can join us live via zoom and the zoom
information is in the description box. Join us ten thirty
am every Sunday, Eastern Statard time. Look forward to seeing
you there. Many of you have been asking how you
can give and support powerful living ministries. I have a
(14:53):
few options for you. I often go and speak to
our young people who are just living in deser times.
I'm not really sure if I would want to be
a young person living in these times with these societal
norms that are just banging banging at the door of
their moral houses, and they need help. So the help
(15:16):
that I deliver when I go and speak to these
young people are through powerful testimonial speeches, motivational speeches, whatever
you want to call it, but biblical principles and same
things I deliver in the empowerment sessions and in the
podcast is what I deliver when I speak to colleges
and high schools. Now, I often go and speak about
what I wrote in my book, which is titled Board
(15:38):
to Death, Five Steps to gear Up and be about
that life. This is a pulling together of personal stories,
things that I have lived through and how I went
from where I was living on the streets of Detroit,
and how I survived the streets of Detroit and created
(15:59):
a life that I love. When I had all of
the obstacles in my way, I had the perfect recipe
to become a statistic, How did I overcome? What did
I do well? Those questions are answered in my book
Bored to Death and Five Easy Steps. I share these
steps with young people and I get transformation, and I
(16:21):
see transformation. Their lives are empowered on a daily basis.
This is powerful Living in action when I go and
speak to these young people. Now, how you can come
alongside is a couple of ways. You can obviously give
directly to this ministry if you want to reach out
to us Powerful Living twenty twenty two at gmail dot com.
(16:43):
You can reach out to us directly and just say, hey, Henry,
how can I support your ministry financially? Also, you can
text us or call, but likely a text wuld be
better at five one three, four zero, four, seven, seven
nine three. Leave us a message and just tell us
(17:04):
I'd like to be involved financially. How can I support
your ministry? And we'll give back to you there as well. Also,
you can contact us about purchasing copies of my book
so that when I go and speak to the young
people in high school, sometimes I'll do middle schools, but
most of the time it's high school and college, and
those who are usually financially constrained and don't have the
(17:27):
opportunity to purchase my book. If you purchase my book,
every book that you purchase will be an opportunity for
me to put another one copy of my books in
the hands of our young people, and so they can
take home the message that I deliver in person, and
they can be empowered and study and see what I
(17:48):
did to create a life that I love, and therefore
they'll be able to see themselves doing it as well.
That's powerful Living, and my friend, that is how or forgiving,
and I hope you will take us up on that opportunity.
If you have feedback and you'd like to suggest a shell, topic,
(18:11):
content ideas, if you have questions, if I said something
that you don't agree with, whatever it is, whatever kind
of feedback that you'd like to give, bring it. You

dot com. You can call us at five poine three
or zero fort seven seventy nine three. However you get
(18:36):
your information to us, just understand I will respond to
you directly. I am open questions, concerns, show ideas, topics,
anything you have in reference to feedback, you let me
know and especially tell us how this ministry has powerfully
impacted your life, and I will likely share that on
(18:59):
a live broadcast. Thank you so much for being a
part of this ministry. I can't wait to see these
empowerment sessions pop up all over the country, all over
the world, and all over the lives of people. Powerful
Living is there for you and me. Thank you, my friends,
God bless you.
