Welcome back to the morning Devo is your brother, Sam
Lopez aka Dj sam Rock So winners with a z
RG Live that so winners with z dot org streaming
on social media platforms including x formerly known as Twitter,
and also on our YouTube page, Dj Sam Rock So
we're here for another Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Amen. Can you believe at.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
The end of the week already it's been a quick week,
fast week for me at least, Amen, And these whole
weeks and days and months.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Just flying by. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I was telling a brother in christ yesterday where we
were picking up our kids from school. Man' I don't
look at the calendar no more, cause every time I
see somebody's kids that graduating from high school, I'm looking
at my own kids and that it's growing up so fast.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Time is flying right by us. Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That's why we don't have time to waste. We shouldn't
be playing around, flirting around with things that don't matter,
and we shouldn't be holding hatred in our hearts towards
one another. A Manca's time is gone by real fast.
Another man of God that was well known in Christian circles.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Vote Bacham, did I say his name right?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Went to be with the Lord yesterday the day before
from the time of it this recording, and another person
that I just saw and went to be with the Lords,
people's moms, dads. Every day is a new day, but
at the same time, every day, one day it's going
to be our last day here on earth. So let's
(01:37):
make this day count. Let's make the day's count more.
And it's just so real when we see people that
we love, people that we know, people just passing away
into eternity. Man, it's a real thing. And I know
you know I'm not into gloom and doom, and I
understand that it hurts when we lose a loved one,
(02:00):
even pets system. My sister in Christ lost her dog,
and it hurts. All of this pain, right, all of
this hurt or all of this loss, it could really
weigh us down if we're not careful and forget that
we have the eternal One living within us by way
(02:21):
of Holy Spirit. If you're not a believer in Christ,
I don't know you know how you do it. I
don't know how you get by when life and impressures
of life hits you. If you don't have God in
your life. Amen, So we're gonna just love our enemies.
The Bible says, Jesus commands us to love your enemies.
(02:41):
God hates hatred that is destructive, unjust, divisive, hypocritical, or
murders our heart. He hates that, Let's get that straight.
But at the same time, Amen, although he hates all
of that, all those activities, he loves his creation.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We're created in the image of God.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
So a lot of us are trying our best to
stay away from xyz sin right. And it starts from
inner self, Like I look in the mirror of line
and be like, am I that person? And I don't
point fingers, and I see things and I want to
(03:24):
say things, I want to respond in a certain way,
but I always think about it like this, is that
going to hurt the person? Or is that gonna help
the person? Is the person mature enough to receive correction
or not? Should I cast out the demon and the
name of Jesus? And then I ask myself, where would
that demon go? If that person is not filled or
(03:47):
responding to the Gospel message in the first place, or
they're living in a false type of Christian life, then
the demon will come back more harder with other people,
with other demons, excuse me, and it'll be worse off.
So I'm real, real careful with what I say and
what I do.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, sister, you gonna have to tell me, Am, I
saying your name right? Is it Talisha or Talsha? Good morning,
God bless you. Yes, Glory to God, Golly.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Wasn't yes? Correct me if I'm saying your name wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
My sister, someone yesterday at church.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Told me I said her name wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And if she's on here again, and if I say
her name wrong again, I told her to correct me
on the spot because I'm known to but your names.
My apologies, Brother John, God bless you. We made a
brother Sam. Good morning everyone. Yes, made it another day. Man,
we're here. Let's make it count. Amen. I'm gonna have
(04:53):
to spell that out or sound it out right?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Second?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
One second, one, Alesia. Okay, I got it right. Good
Thank you correcting me. My apologies. I don't like saying
people's name wrong. This is one of my pet beees
since is Jayne. Good morning, God bless you. I hope
you're feeling better, my sister. I know you were dealing
(05:17):
with what you said. Yesterday, and I'm hoping and pray
that you learned or you're learning how to make the
spiritual exchange from depression to the joy of the Lord. Amen,
exchange that give it back to where it came from.
Right life happens, Luke, Chapter six, verse twenty seven. That's
(05:37):
where we're gonna be at today. It's Friday, so we
get into authentic imitationology. Every Friday we try best to
imitate the most successful person who has ever lived on
this planet, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
He is our model, he is our perfect example. He
is our Lord, he is our Savior, he is.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
All and all. He is God almighty in the flesh. Amen.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And he's coming back for a perfect, spotless bride.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So in the meantime, let's go ahead and love our enemies.
I know it's not as easy as I'm saying it,
I know, but we're commanded to do so. And when
the world sees that, right, they're gonna be like, where
are these people from? Because they're not from here, Because
it's not normal for any person to love their enemies.
(06:32):
But Jesus is not a normal man, never was a
normal man. He is God in the flesh, and his
commandments stand. He's a command the commander of the command.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Mets amen. So let's pray first.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
After we pray, we'll share this out for like sixty seconds,
and then on the other side of these sixty seconds
we'll get right back into the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Devo.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So let's pray fathering the name of Jesus. I thank
you so very much for your life giving word. I
thank you Little God that we are still here. That
that means it's a purpose and place that we have
yet to accomplish here on this earth. I pray Lod God,
a hedge, a protection, a wall of protection. Surround us
with your angels, surround us with your power, your authority.
(07:11):
Thank you, Holy Spirit for living within us and leading
us into all truth. I speak life, I speak peace
and a powerful name of Jesus over every single person
that's listening or watching right now. In the powerful name
of Jesus. I pray Lord God, a head protection over myself, physically, emotionally, spiritually,
over my wife, our children, our grandchildren, our family members,
(07:32):
and our enemies. I pray Lord God that we will
be at peace with ourselves, peace with God, in peace
with all those who are on the other side of
the screen and on the other side of this mic
and the powerful, matchless, loving, holy righteous just name of Jesus.
I pray this by faith, and those who agree with
the prayer, we say Amen to the Amen. Let's go
(07:53):
ahead and share this out. When we come back, we'll
get right into Luke chapter number six, number twenty seven
of direct crop from our Lord, and I will say
it the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'll be right back in the groups.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So little time, right, Amen, But thank you so much
for all those who shared this out. Thank you for
all those who visit our website. So when is with
a z dot rg forest slash donate there you will
see what is the vision of this vision and mission
of this ministry Celebrate on network and so when is
inc Amen, how God mapped it out. I wrote it down, Amen,
(09:53):
I put it out there, and by faith I know
that people will engage with that mission and vision because
that's the commission, the great commission that we.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Were given by the Lord himself. Amen.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And through social media, through radio, through online media. Amen,
I'm there fighting the good fight of faith. And if
you want to partner with me, Amen, that's the website
to go and check out and then pray about it, Amen,
and see what the Lord will do.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
In your heart.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Because when you help this ministry and people could testify,
you're helping other ministries and other families as well. It's
point blank period, because I know for sure what I
was given is not for me to hoard, is for
me to share, point blank amen. And these morning DeVos
is a result of just being obedient to what God
(10:41):
spoke over my life years ago. It was a question
the Lord asked me. He says, how come you don't
put me first anymore? And I said what? And he said, yeah,
you don't put me first anymore. You open your eyes,
you do everything else, and then you leave me for
the end of the night or the end of the day.
And I said, wow, Lord, I'm gonna give you the
first part of my day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I changed from being a night owl into an
early bird, right. And it's because God is that good, Amen.
And if I have to lose sleep to put him first,
it's going to be so worth it, at least in
my humble opinion, in my life at least.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So if you know God is good, you already know
that he is worth listening to. He's worth finding out.
He is worth reading about, he is worth praising, He
is worth it.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
He is powerful, he's everlasting, He's Lord, and he's God almighty,
and he asks us things to do in life right
that will only benefit us. Have you ever noticed that
when Jesus asks us to do something, it's not to
hurt us, right, It's to benefit us and benefit others
around us. The worst enemy that I have because we
(11:55):
have a defeated foe, he's our foe, the devil Satan.
He's a defeated foe. So he's not really the issue
in my life at least. The issue is me, my
old old sinfle nature, the flesh. That's my worst enemy.
Hey man, at this point of my walk with the Lord,
that's my worst enemy. So I'm trying to key in
(12:17):
on what God is saying, what he's doing right, and
I'm trying to respond accordingly and quickly. Usually I would
just think about things and be like, yeah, I hear you,
the Lord, But I don't want to do that today.
I'll try that next week. And I'm seeing people every
day going to be with the Lord, dying and going
(12:38):
into eternity other places, and I'm like, oh, Wow. So
it's really not a thing of I'll wait. It's a
thing about I'll do right. It's not about just listening
to the word of God. It's about it's about applying
the word of God. I know too much, and I
know you know a lot too. On the other side
of the screen, you might know too much too. Just
(13:00):
do by faith. Just do, and God will meet you
on the other side of your faith.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's the Holy God that we serve. So let's go
for it. Let's check this out. Authentic imentationology. We want
to love your enemies, Jesus said, So we're gonna love
our enemies. It's not easy, but with the power of
God in us, we could do it. Luke, Chapter six,
verse twenty seven. But I say to you who are
listening now to me, Are you listening in order to heed?
(13:32):
Make it a practice to love your enemies, treat well,
do good, to act nobly toward those who what those
who detest you and pursue you with hatred. Oh, my goodness,
Lord help us, because there's a lot of hatred going on.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Political hatred, religious hatred, family hatred, relationship hatred. People don't
like to see people succeed even believers.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yesterday I said hi to someone and they just looked
at me with a face like who you're talking to?
And I was like, Wow, Okay, that's where we're at.
But it's because of immaturity. At the same time, I said,
let me just walk away, so that way I don't
cause any arm by what I say.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And that was.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
A little example of what God wanted me to speak
about today. If that person considers me their enemy, I
still love them, right, Jesus said, But I say to
you who are listening now to me, in order to
say he make it a practice to love your enemies,
treat well, do good, to act nobly toward. And that's
(14:53):
the way we operate as brothers and sisters, as a
royal priesthood, right as the family of God, as the
people who are more than conquerors, right as those who
are peacemakers, those who are meek, and we inherit the earth,
not weak, but meek, We inherit the earth. Even those
(15:14):
who detest us and pursue us but hatred. Jesus said,
love them opposite of what our flesh wants to do.
It's opposite of what people want us to respond how
they want us to respond. All you gotta take that, Sam,
you gotta let that just slide by. And although it's
not easy, at least for me, it might be a
(15:34):
little easier for you. But when I feel disrespected, man,
I don't disrespect people.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I don't. I try my best to walk humbly. Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And then when people just act crazy and disrespect it
is so hard for me to stay in that position
of love.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
But what kicks in when I don't have nothing to give?
Holy Spirit, God, that's right, he kicks in and he helps.
He's a comforter, is a helper, our leader.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
He leads us into all truth and he reminds us
of the commandments of God. That's the beauty of it all. Now,
I said earlier when we first started that God hates hatred.
And it doesn't sound grammatically correct, but God hates hatred.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That is destructive. And what is destructive destruction?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Sometimes people are self destructing right in front of our eyes,
and the love for people that I have, I try
to interfere with that destruction. I don't want nobody to
hurt themselves, hurt others. I want everybody that has the
potential to live a life in abundance according to God's promise.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I want them to live that life. I want to
live that life. You want to live that life. And
we could come together and be mature about things.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I don't know a lot of the scriptures, believe it
or not. I rote with people, and I know people
that notice up and down way more than I do.
I'm believing in what I know, and I'm trying to
grow from what I know, and I want to grow
closer to who I know, which is the Lord.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Day by day, every day is a new day, a
new start, a new opportunity.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
When you crack open those scriptures, that's the word of
life for your day.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay, now this is the test. This is the sister
that corrected me. Bless you, my sister. Now correct me
if I'm wrong and you just told me. But I'm
horrible with names.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Pray for me. Okay, So you said I set your
name wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's it Franciela Francilia right or Franceella. It's Francilia right. Amen,
correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Sister. Good morning, it's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It was good to see you last night as well
at Church, God, bless you correct me though if I
said you name wrong. So love your enemies, do good
to those who hate you.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
The world system says, listen, if they hate on you,
you hate back. The world system is saying, I match
the energy, match their energy. If they come to you
all ratchet, you get ratchet. If they come to you
all angry, you get angry. If they come to you,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yes, thank you, thank you Lord. I got your name right,
Thank you, sister. I don't like to say people's names wrong.
So we're not going to match energy because if I
match energy, Amen, I'm just like the world. So someone
comes up to me and they cursed me out, and
then I match that energy and I curse them out.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
What are we doing? What am I doing? Amen?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'm not sending an example of who I am in Christ.
I'm just sending an example of how the flesh at
that moment is taking over my life.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And if it happens, it happens.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And God will forgive us if we go to God
to for for forgiveness, we ask got to forgive us
for those errorsm mistakes and failures. Yes he will, but
I'm trying not to make that a habit. I'm trying
not to make it a habit of failing all the
time and asking for asking Jesus to forgive me all
the time. Holy Spirit is grieved if I play that game.
(19:16):
If I play that game, I.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Know what to do.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But you know I'll do this later. No, today is
the day of salvation. Today's the day of the Lord.
Today is the present day. Tomorrow's not promised. And having
you notice that yesterday is far away already, we need
to live this life out loud in love. Loving our
enemies is not a natural thing. Loving our enemies, it's
(19:42):
a supernatural thing. Go ahead and fight me on that, right.
It's a supernatural thing. There's no way people don't get
up and say, I'm going to love my enemy today. No,
the Lord helps us to love our enemies according to
his word and purpose in our lives. Since the joys.
Good morning, God, bless you, God, bless you. Thank you
for the blessing over the group in Jesus name. Yes,
(20:05):
praise the Lord. So this is supernatural. Right, we don't
respond in a natural way. At least we shouldn't anymore,
because if we do, we know ourselves.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You know, we'll flip out. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We are the people on this earth according to God's
word that we should have no worry or fear. Do
we worry in fear sometimes? Yes, but we're not supposed to.
Hey man, according to God's word, we're supposed to not
worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and supplication,
make our requests known to God and.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What God will show up.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I'm paraphrasing because if not, if we're not prayed up,
if we're not following the God's commandments, if we're not
trusting and having faith in the Lord, when something happens
that's not really nice to us, we're going to respond
in an unnice way as well. If that's a word.
Get what I'm saying. So, God hates hatred that is destructive.
(21:05):
We're not supposed to be the haters. We're not supposed
to be destructive. We're supposed to be the peacemakers and
will be blessed for it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
God hates the unjust, things that are unjust, not the unjust,
because unjust.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
People are people.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
God loves all people, He loves all of the creation,
but the action of.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Being unjust he doesn't like that.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So we're supposed to be the ones rulling around with
the justice in our hearts, a man and the peace,
the divisive, hypocritical or murderous people or murderous at heart,
those things, Amen. I'm careful not to say murderous people
hating people, because God loves the person.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Is the action that he hates that people do. And
I know that because for my own testimony, when I
came to the Lord, or when the Lord found me,
because I was lost, God was never lost. I was
full of hate. I was full of murderous thoughts. I
was full of adulterous thoughts. I was full of alcohol
(22:03):
marijuana at the very same time that I was calling
out for him to save me and change me. So
if he hated me, then he would have never responded
in the love that he responded. I was a hater
of God. I was an enemy of God. So therefore
God follows. He makes the commandment because he already achieved
(22:25):
or he ready to fulfill the commandments that he speaks
out to us. So here I was his enemy, and
with his love he loved me anyway when I called.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
On to him.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And listen my testimony, if you heard it, before. I
didn't call on to the Lord Jesus. I called on
to an unknown God that night. It was an unknown god.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I did not know him.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I did not serve him, I did not respect him,
I did not believe in him. I did not follow him,
none of it. But I knew deep down that there
had to be a God of heaven and earth. There
had to be a God who could transform my life.
And if there wasn't, I would have found out that
night that asked him to change me, to come into
my life. And I was all of this. I was
(23:11):
all of this on this list. I was destructive, I
was unjust, I was divisive, I was hypocritical, and I
was murderous at heart. So I know for sure that
although God hates those things, he loves the person because
he knows without him right where lifeless without him were
(23:31):
just existing. Without him, we could do nothing. But with
him we could do all things through Christ Jesus, who
gives us the strength God didn't. Jesus didn't come to
die and condemn the world. He came to die to
save the world. Jesus did not come to create a religion.
He came to establish the Kingdom of God. Right let's
(23:51):
read our scriptures. Man, it's a beautiful gospel that we have, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John. And then see how the apostles were getting
busy in the Book of Acts, you know, casting out
demons right on preaching the gospel. People we're gonna say,
they'll fill the Holy Spirit. You see it all in
a Book of Acts. Then Romans gives us the biblical
(24:12):
practical way of being a Christian.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Then we have the Book of James.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Right, these are some of my favorite books, which is
to me, it's like the New Testament Proverbs. Then of
course you have Revelation where you see the end times unfolding.
For John the revelator, when he was exiled to that
island that he was on, God was showing him the Revelation,
not revelations, the revelation of Christ, Jesus. This is amazing
(24:39):
what we have. But this, go ahead and share what
we have. We know, I know for sure, not everybody's
gonna want to get on board. Not everybody's gonna believe
what we're saying. Not everybody's going to want to follow
our Jesus. Not everybody's gonna believe in God or the
Bible or none of that.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I know that one hundred percent to be true because
I was one of those people who you couldn't You
couldn't tell me nothing. It had to be an act
of God in my life to make me a believer.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I had a personal encounter with the living, holy, righteous, loving,
just holy God, and he changed my life. And I'm
still being changed and transformed. You know people right now
that you would deem your enemies, they hate you, They
try to do all kinds of things, they talk about you.
(25:31):
They are causing division around you, right, And this could
happen in church, outside of church, at your work, at
your school place. Amen, on the phone, in person at
the supermarket. What are we gonna do? Are we gonna
hate them back? Are we gonna fight evil with evil?
Are we gonna fight hatred with hatred? Are we gonna
(25:52):
do wrong and we get wrong done to us and
do wrong to them? No, We're gonna love our enemies,
according to what the Lord says.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Ben So, I kind of knew.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The other day yesterday in my situation, I kind of
knew certain people were gonna respond certain ways because it's
just immaturity and me being a man of God.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm like, okay, let me just walk away.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Because sometimes people are not ready for correction. People are
not ready for this extreme love. Because when you go
to people who will have something against you with love,
they get more angry. I've seen it with my own eyes. Amen,
I've done it. I've tried it out people that don't
like me and I hit them with love.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Whoof, they get more.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Angry because they're like, why aren't you responding to my hatred?
Why aren't you responding to my anger? Why aren't you
responding to my xyz?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Or?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Because I've been there, done that, I noticed. No, there's
no good result coming outside out of that bad behavior.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
