Hello everybody, Welcome to another RealMeat podcast. Thank you for tuning in.
I've got some awesome things I wantto share with you, so let's
walk together for a few minutes.Come on, let's go. Hello everybody,
thanks for joining us for another realme podcast. Thanks for joining us.
It's such a wonderful time to sharewith you. My name is Winfred
(00:28):
Duffy. I'm your host, andtonight we want to talk about something very
important. We want to discover whoyou really are, the real you.
It's an awesome time to be alivein twenty twenty four. Yeah, we've
been made and purpose to be here. It's by divine design. If we
(00:52):
can only realize, and if youcould only realize God's true intention you for
placing you here and me here onthe earth for such a time as this,
we would transform the world in littleto no time at all. If
we could truly understand our value andhow significant we are in human existence and
(01:19):
the vital role we play, eachone of us in the cycle of life,
then we would understand really how oneperson can make a difference and does
make a difference. Almighty God issovereign and he's all knowing and He's the
(01:40):
master of not only the universe,but of all of creation. All things
were made by him and for him, and in him all things consist.
He began it all, He isall in all, and He's the end
(02:01):
of it all. Many people saythat there is no God. How about
that? Imagine that, But theyfall gravely short of trying to prove his
non existence. There is no suchthing as God's non existence. He is
(02:21):
the living God just by virtue ofthe invisible breath that's inhaled and exhaled out
of our lungs moment by moment.It gives testament to the fact that there
is an unseen power moving beyond ourphysical realm that we cannot see with our
(02:42):
physical eyes and our narrow perspective.Today, to try to explain God's reality
would really be futile to a personreally who chooses to neglect the inevitability of
their own existence. The Holy Scripturetells us that my heart and my flesh
(03:04):
cry out for the Living God.Then the other scripture says that the fool
has said in his heart that thereis no God. God is our wonderful
Father. He's our wonderful Father.Yes he is, and he has a
plan and a purpose for our lives. He didn't just put us here on
(03:25):
the earth to leave us here tofend for ourselves. But he had a
plan and a purpose. You know, the book can Ecclesia Astes tells us
in the third chapter. In thefirst verse, it says, to everything,
there's a season and a time toevery purpose under the heaven. Then
(03:46):
the next verse says, a timeto be born and a time to die.
There's a time for us to beborn, a time for us to
exist on the earth, and atime to die. And so while we're
here on the earth, we've beengiving an assignment to fulfill. We've been
(04:08):
put here for a reason. God, our wonderful father and creator, is
so loving and just. He createdus with the ability to choose. That's
one of the greatest things that youhave, is the ability to choose.
So we can choose to love andserve him, or we could choose to
reject him and ignore him. It'sour choice. And although his strong desire,
(04:32):
God's strong desire is that we lovehim and serve him, because he
created us to have a relationship withhim. Hear me, well, he
doesn't force us to do so.He doesn't force us into a relationship with
him. He gives us the abilityto choose. Think about it. Would
(04:54):
you want anybody to force you tolove them, or would you rather love
somebody because they're just so irresistible youcan't help but love them. Of course,
that's how the Lord is with us. He wants us to love him
because we love him because of hisgoodness and because of who he is.
(05:14):
He's so irresistible. He's just goodall the time, and he wants us
to love him, and he purposeshisself himself to be good all the time
so that we can love him.Not that he's some kind of sugar daddy
to us, but he just wantsto prove his love and show his love
to us how much he loves usand cherishes us. He loved us so
(05:36):
much. Check this out that whenhe made us, he created us in
his image and in his likeness.Human beings were the only one created like
that, in his image and inhis likeness. The Godhead, the Father,
the Son, the Holy Ghost agreedand said, let us make man
(05:58):
in our image and in our likeness. And he gave them dominion over everything,
over the fish of the sea,the fowls of the air, and
over everything that creeps over the earth. Yes, he gave us dominion.
He didn't give the animals dominion.He didn't give the fish dominion. He
didn't give the trees dominion. Hegave man dominion over all the earth and
(06:24):
over all the works of his hands, because He loves us so much and
he created us for a relationship.Yes, God has a plan for each
one of our lives. But becausewe've been granted the ability to choose,
we can choose to live our livesin that plan or not. We've been
(06:48):
given that ability to choose. Hisword tells us today, I have set
before you life and death, blessingand cursing. He said, choose life.
Choose life that you and your childrenmay live. He gives us the
choice. We can choose death ifwe want. We can choose cursing if
(07:10):
we want. But he says,choose life so that you and your children
can live. The Lord doesn't makeus do anything yet, even with our
own free will, he counsels us, not commands us to make the right
decision in choosing life, because heknows the benefits and the rewards that await
(07:36):
us On the right side of ourobedience. Did you hear that he wants
us to choose life because he knowsthe benefits and rewards that await us on
the right side of our obedience tohim, there's a blessing in serving God.
There's a blessing in obeying God,he said in Isaiah, he said,
(08:00):
if you are willing and obedient,then you will eat the good of
the land. Willing and obedient,you'll eat the good of the land.
We all have chosen, you know, to live life outside of his divine
design for us. We've all donethat. And aren't you a witness?
I know I am that we havesuffered the consequences of doing the things our
(08:26):
own way. How you like that? How you like what you got now?
Because you've you know, because we'vedone things our own way? How
you like me now? Because I'mobeying the Lord and walking in the destiny
and walking in the assignment that heput me here on the earth for.
(08:46):
So the choice is yours. Iused to tell my children, I said,
listen, in two to five years, you're either going to say thank
you Dad for helping me and givingme the right counsel and showing me the
way or you're gonna say, oh, I wish I listened to Dad.
(09:09):
In two to five years, you'regonna make either choice, the right choice
or the wrong choice. Either I'mglad I listened to Dad, or I
wish I listened to Dad. Andthat's how God is with us. He
wants us to make the right decisionin serving him. Aleelujah, Praise God.
(09:31):
We all made life choices outside ofHis divine plan, outside of his
decision. We've all done it all. We like sheep, have gone astray.
You know, we've suffered for itas well. And I'll tell you
what, you can get more mileageout of doing it God's way than doing
it in our own way. Ifound that out myself, and unfortunately,
(09:54):
so many people still, you know, live outside of God's divine plan for
the Do you know God's plan foryour life? Do you know why God
put you here? Do you knowwhat your purpose is in life? Or
are you just wandering and meandering around, just doing different things, just doing
whatever you feel like might be bestor whatever? But is that really what
(10:16):
God puts you here on the earthto do? I tell you, listen,
so many people live their whole livesdoing the wrong thing, the thing
that God has not anointed, thething that that's really not on the inside
of you. Yeah, you cango to school, you can train for
(10:37):
this and that, you know,but are you really fulfilled. There's something
that God specifically put you here onthe earth to do. Out of eight
billion people, you're the only onethat can do that. He gave it
to you, and He purposely putyou here in twenty twenty four so that
(11:03):
you can begin and so that youcan do that, so that you can
share the gifting that's on the insideof you. I'm talking about the real
you. You don't have to tryto match somebody else, or be somebody
else, or do what somebody elsedoes. Don't be jealous of somebody else,
because you have your own gifting,your own anointing, and we celebrate
(11:26):
people who are actually operating in thatgifting, that anointing. God invests something
on the inside of you. Youare not junk. He made you.
You are his masterpiece and He needsyou here. You are God's gift to
the earth. That's the real you, the one that God made. He
(11:46):
invested his breath in you, hislife in you. He invested giftings and
anointings and special guilt, skills andabilities in you. He gave that to
you, and it's exclusive to you, exclusive to you. You're the best
singer, you're the best piano player, you're the best cook, you're the
(12:09):
best songwriter writer, you're the bestactor, you're the best bus driver,
you're the best mechanic, you're thebest whatever. Because he put a special
ability on the inside of you thatnobody else can do. Nobody, and
you don't have to try to bea carbon copy of anybody else, try
to copycat this person or that person. Yes, if you borrow some knowledge
(12:35):
or wisdom from another person, yes, use that to enhance your own gift.
But the gifting is yours, andyou can't use somebody else's gift.
It's just like when Saul was tryingto give David his armor to go and
fight Goliath. David said, Ihave not even proved this armor. I
(12:56):
have not even proved these weapons andall of this that you've given me your
shield and your your your armor andyour helmet and your sword. I haven't
even proved that. So Saul triedto give it to David so that he
can go out and slay Goliath.But David said, no, thank you,
(13:16):
thank you for your best efforts,Saul, thank you for offering me
your absolute best. But you seethis sling shot right here in these five
stones. This is what I do. This is what I know how to
do best. And I'm gonna usethis to slay that giant. I'm gonna
use this to kill Goliath. AndI'm gonna use his sword to chop his
(13:41):
own head off and let his bodylay out there for the for the fouls
of the air. So David usedwhat God has given him, what God
anointed him to do. David wasa man of war, but he needed
to fight his own He needed tofight the way they He knew the way
that God anointed him to fight,and as a result, he killed Goliath,
(14:07):
slave Goliath. And so with you, it's the same thing. You
might learn a talent, or youmight learn a gift, you might learn
something from somebody else's skill. ButGod puts something on the inside of you,
really that you can use whatever outsideto enhance what He's already put in
(14:28):
you. But it's there, andit's yours. We sharpen each other,
we help each other, but whatGod has given you is yours. And
exclusive to you. I'm here totalk to you tonight about the real you.
(14:48):
You don't have to try to fitin or be accepted in some kind
of club or organization to try toplease other people. All you need to
do is be you. Your giftwill make room for you. Your gift
will set you before great men.You need to be diligent with your own
(15:13):
gift. We need to discover whoyou are. We see who everybody else
is, but no, how aboutwho you are? And this is for
you. Yes, you might beliving on the street right now, but
there's a gift that God has puton the inside of you that we need.
It's a gift, and the giftis not just for you. The
(15:35):
gift is for you to share something. I remember. I recall this one
preacher from Louisiana, Baton Rouge,Louisiana used to live. He was homeless
and he lived in an abandoned cardealership. That's where I used to hang
out and use that as a shelter. And then during the daytime he'll go
(15:58):
out and do poetry on the street. And he would do poetry so well
that people would give him money.You've seen You've seen different people on the
street. You know, panhandlers aswe would call them, as many would
call them. You know, they'reout there. You know, that's that's
their living, that's how they're makingmoney. But he this man, and
(16:23):
he's a he's a great apostle.Today, he's a great He owns many
banks because he used the poetry thatGod put on the inside of his heart,
and it truly impressed people, andit blessed people. And as a
result, they gave him. Theykept giving him money and money and God.
And not only that, but thewisdom of God grew in his heart
(16:45):
and he ended up owning banks.He became a pastor and then an apostle,
started raising up different churches, butwas homeless, living in an abandoned
car dealership. But praise God,God used the gift that he gave him,
(17:08):
and now he's a multi millionaire.From the pit to the palace.
There's no excuse for you not touse the gift that God's given to you,
because you're gonna have to stand.We are all gonna have to stand
and give an account to God forthe gift that he gave to us.
(17:29):
Did we use it? Did webless somebody? How many people are blessed.
And how many people's lives are betterbecause you live. How many people's
lives are better because you live.Don't live your life my friend in a
bottle. Don't live your life pokingyourself with drugs. Don't live your life
(18:00):
in a rough way. Learn toand train yourself to stir up the gift
of God that's on the inside ofyou. That's who God put you here
for. He put you here sothat you can stir that gift up,
so that you can use that giftto be a blessing to people like me.
(18:21):
I need what you have. Youneed what I have. I'm not
trying to be you. I don'tneed to be you. God gave me
my own voice, tone, Hegave me my own color. I didn't
have any choice what color I wasgoing to be when I came into the
earth. Neither did you. Didn'thave any choice of what gender you was
going to be. Neither did you. I mean you didn't. I did
(18:44):
it. God made me a man. God made you a man. God
made you a woman intentionally, andhe gave you the goods for you to
reproduce. He gave you the goodsto be who you are. In the
earth, whether you like it ornot, My friend, don't fight against
what God has done. Don't fightagainst the divine plan, the divine design
(19:10):
that God put here on the earthin the person of you. Don't fight
against it. Accept who you are, Accept who God made you to be,
and get in tune with him andallow Him to use you to be
a blessing to this earth, tobe an answer to a problem. Yes,
(19:34):
you can do it, and letme tell you the way to do
it. Jesus Christ the gift thatGod gave to man. For God so
loved the world that he gave hisonly begotten son that whosoever believes in him
should not perish but have everlasting life. And his name is Jesus. And
(19:59):
Jesus told us, and he toldNicodemus. In the third chapter of John,
he says, listen, you mustbe born again. Yeah, I
know you were born from your mother'swomb the first time, but you must
be born again. You must beborn of the spirit, born of the
(20:19):
spirit. So, in other words, give your life to Jesus Christ.
Today. Jesus said, I amthe way. He's the example of doing
exactly what the Father designed him todo. He fulfilled his divine design,
and he gave us that example,and we can do it too, and
(20:41):
he's inviting us to let him belord of our lives. Listen, choose
life today, Choose Jesus today,and let him lead the way, lead
you in paths of righteousness for hisname's sake, because he's going to lead
you in the right place way togo. Accept Jesus today and really just
(21:03):
do that like this, Just repeatafter me. Dear heavenly Father, I
come to you right now. Ithank you for putting me here in the
earth for such a time as this. I didn't have a choice in the
matter, but you had a planfor my life. And rather than me
disagreeing, I agree with your plan. I accept your plan. I accept
(21:29):
your gift Jesus Christ, the Sonof the Living God, to be my
lord, forgive me of my sins. I asked that you would come into
my life today in Jesus' name.Amen, God bless you, my friend.
If you did that, that's thegreatest decision that you could ever make.
(21:52):
I'm telling you today is the beginningof the rest of your life,
the first day of the rest ofyour life. And as you let the
Lord control your life. He'll leadyou by His Holy Spirit, in his
perfect will, the plan that Hehas reserved for you, and he wants
you to choose life, make rightdecisions. Find yourself a good Bible believing
