(00:30):
eternal impact. How many people want to impact this world
for eternity? People were like, well, that sounds like a
Marvel comic. That sounds like far fetched. That sounds like fantasy.
But no, it's not. It's the word of God. It's
founding the Word of God. Eternal impact, not just temporary impact.
Eternal impact. Today in the Morning Devo, when am I
(00:53):
talking about Godly gifts are spiritual? The gift that God
gives you and the gift that God gives me me
are spiritual, eternal and rooted in relationship with Jesus Christ. Amen.
Our gifts come from God. That's the source. Why Why
(01:13):
did God give you and me these gifts to impact
for eternity? Impact somebody else's life, impact yourself, impact your family,

Romans twelve versus six to eight to date on the morning, Devo.
So we're in the building. Man, So we're in the building.
So continue to pray for the prayer requests that I've
been saying since last week. Amen, for the Hemanez family
for their son Mason, and also for my friendly set
(01:57):
Ramos her daughter Erica. Men, and let's go for it, man,
Let's keep praying, keep on lifting each other up in prayer.
And that's another way that we can impact a life
for eternity through interceding and prayer. Amen, asking God for miracles,
asking God for health, asking God for healing, asking God
(02:18):
for financial breakthrough, asking God for mercy, asking God for grace,
asking God for everything that he has for us. We
could ask because we have it in the scriptures. We
see it in the Bible. We find it in the scriptures. Amen,
and we seek it out. Jesus said, seek, knock, don't
keep on don't stop asking, don't keep on seeking, and
(02:41):
don't keep up knocking. Don't stop, keep on don't stop.
I meant to say, not stop, keep on asking, keep
on seeking, and keep on knocking. Amen, I'm flushed this morning.
Praise God. Amen, I'm up though. We at here eternal impact.
We're going to pray first. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
(03:04):
or prayer requests. Amen, questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, or
anything along those lines, Please don't hesitate to leave it
on a live chat. That's what we're here for, Amen.
So let's go forward. Let's pray first. After we pray,
we're going to share this out for like sixty seconds.
Help help a brother share this out and break this
algorithm prison that they be putting me in. Amen. So, Father,
(03:25):
I thank you that you have impacted my life for
all eternity, for my purpose, my direction, my destiny, the
meaning of life, the origin of life. Thank you so
much for opening up my eyes and opening up so
many millions of millions of people's lives throughout the time
(03:46):
that we have here on this earth. I pray, Lord God,
I hedge you protection physically, emotionally, spiritually over my life.
Set forth arkwen angels, minister angels, over my life, my
wife's life, our children's life, my son and his children's life,
and all those in our family from the very youngest
to the very oldest, and every single person in between.
(04:09):
I pray that same prayer that ding them as prayer
over every single person that's listening right now and watching
right now. Thank you, Lo, God, for you being more
than just energy, that you are being the God of
heaven and earth, that you, Lo God, are the one
who is above all gods. I pray, Love God, that
(04:31):
you would continue to heal my friends and hear the
prayers of your people, and we're praying for you to
intercede and move on the behalf of these families in
Jesus Holy name, so that way they can receive and
a holy spirit of visitation, that they could receive an
eternal impact, an impartation from You, and they would see
(04:55):
a miracle, they would see sign, they would see wonders,
and they would know that You are truly the living, holy, righteous,
loving God who lives. I pray it's by faith over
every single situation that every single person is facing right now,
that Lord God, that we will be eternally impacted by
your love, grace and mercy in the name that's above
(05:15):
every name, the name of the Lord Jesus Yeshoo Wahamashiah
and Jesus Name. I prayed it's by faith, and all
those who agreed, we say amen to the Amen. If
you don't agree, hold on, come back, don't go nowhere. Amen.
I'm hoping and praying that Holy Spirit God will convince
you that he is exactly who he says he is
in Jesus Name. I'll be right back, man, man, let's
(06:55):
go for it, sister join, I see you. Good morning,
God bless you. Welcome back to the one to devote
my sister, my friend. We are in Romans chapter number
twelve versus six to eight. Let's get to it. Let's
put it on a screen for those who are just listening,
no worries, no problems. I'm going to read the word
and the scripture word for word, Amen, so that way
you won't miss what we're seeing and what we're talking
(07:17):
about today on the morning. The screen ready for those
who are streaming live with me, a man. For those
are watching, I'm going to put something on the screen
so you can see the scripture for yourself. Is beautiful thing,
A beautiful thing. When we come together, and we read
the scriptures together. Amen, So that way we could be
all the same page, literally, when it comes to what
(07:39):
we're seeing, what we're reading, and what we're hearing from
the Lord. Amen. His word is alive, his word is active,
His word is sharper than any double edged short and
his word is able to perform exactly what his word
is intended to perform in your life and in my life.
God is that good. He's that big of a God. Amen.
He's eternal, and his impact is eternal, a man eternal
(08:03):
impact to Dan and morning devo. So let's get to
the scripture Romans, chapter number twelve, verses six to eight.
Since we have gifts that differ, love it. We have
different gifts. Put those different gifts together and we have
a unified purpose. Amen. Unity, Please, Lord, help us be
(08:23):
unified for your sake. The body of Christ coming together
gives the enemy a headache. Since we have gifts that differ,
according to the grace given to us, each of us
is to use them accordingly. If someone has the gift
(08:44):
of prophecy, let him speak a new message from God
to his people in proportion to the faith possessed. If
service in the act of serving, or he who teaches
in the act of teaching, or he who encourages in
the act of encouragement. He who gives with generosity, he
(09:07):
who leads with diligence, he who shows mercy in caring
for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are powerful, eternal, impactful
gifts that God has divvied out by himself right for
his purpose, for his plan, for his redemptive work on
(09:28):
this earth. Do you see the gifts here? Some of
them are gifts a prophecy. Let them prophesy. Right, give
a new message from God to his people, in proportion
with what in proportion with what they know, in proportion
with the amount of people in the crowd know, in
proportion to the faith that we have. Faith is a
(09:51):
gift from God. Yes, if service, keep on serving. Right,
if you're teaching, go ahead and teach. We want to
encourage people. Yes, encouragement a gift from God. Go ahead
and encourage people. We want to give with generosity a
gift from God. Look at that, Go ahead and give.
(10:14):
You want to lead, lead with diligence, show mercy, show mercy, right,
care for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are eternal impactful
gifts from God for eternity. You and I will be
surprised how many people we might automatically think, oh, they
(10:37):
you know, they've been treated kindly. You don't know that, Amen.
I've been in restaurants and I've talked spoken to the
waitress and the waiter. Amen, how you having, how you doing?
How you having? You're having a good day? And They'll
stop sometimes and tell me some stories. I'll be like wow,
So I'll be like, bless you God, bless you. You know.
(10:58):
I hope you get they gets better, and I make
sure I try to leave them the best tip that
I can offer at that moment, in that time, Amen,
because man, we never know. An act of kindness could
shift shift somebody's life, An active kindness could shift somebody's
life and impact them for eternity. Since the joys I
(11:18):
see you, good morning, God, bless you, good morning. She
sends group blessings to us all in Jesus name, Thank
you for your blessings. I could, really, I really, you know,
receive those blessings, keep them, keep the blessings coming with
my sister. Amen. So let me get to my notes
real quick. Amen. We're almost out of time, here. I
(11:39):
started just a little late because there's some tech issues here,
but we're here spiritual gifts, wisdom. That's a gift. Amen.
You might be thinking, well, everybody knows this and everybody
knows that, and not necessarily you know. And I want
to say that five years ago, maybe even longer than that,
(12:01):
I was witnessing street preaching. Can you imagine Sam doing
street preaching the street evangelism. And I walked up to
a couple and I said, have you I asked the question,
have you ever heard the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ?
And in my mind I was like, yeah, you know,
they gonna say, yeah, I heard it. So they gotta
either say I believe or not. But they sincerely, I
(12:22):
don't know what country they were from. I was thinking
they were citizens for the United States, and they said
they never heard the gospel message of the Lord Jesus.
Grown couple looked like they was in their mid fifties.
They said they were married for years, and we took
(12:42):
it from there, Holy Spirit took it from there. I
should say, Amen. So we can't automatically assume, we can't
automatically think that everybody has heard the gospel. We can't
automatically assume or think that everybody has the wisdom from
God and that they know what they're talking about. Nos
of God leads men and women to repent. The wisdom
(13:03):
of God is a gift that God gives us to
spread this message powerfully and give somebody a revelation from
God by way of Holy Spirit working through us. So
spiritual gifts like wisdom, faith, healing, right, prophecy, teaching, and
discernment are all examples of these eternal gifts that have
(13:29):
eternal impact on the people that we come across. Hey, man,
that's how powerful this is. That's how serious this is,
and that's how I feel like that. You feel responsible
after you know something and after God shows you something. Amen,
you feel responsible for sharing what you know. And man,
this is not something that we hoard. We don't hide
(13:51):
a man. We're not closet Christians. We go out to
the b highways and byways, supermarkets. Everywhere we are. We
bring the Kingdom of God with us. Everywhere we are,
we bring Holy Spirit with us. We are the living
temples of God here on this planet. The temple of
God is you, are, you and me. We're the temples
(14:12):
of God. Walking across the earth, walking across our neighborhoods,
walking across our communities, going to church. When you go
to a church building, there's no power until the people
of God get to the building. Amen. The only power
the building has is the electrical power. Right. Other than that,
no power. There's no you know, no supernatural thing about
(14:37):
the bricks and mortar of a building. It's when the
Body of Christ enters the building that the power comes
to be the power of Holy spirit. Amen. Spiritual gifts.
So we read in Romans twelve versus six to eight.
You could also cross reference First Corinthians, chapter twelve, the
whole chapter. Amen, we have these gifts that actually cause
(15:06):
people to want more of what we have. Amen. You
ever met somebody said, I don't know about it. There's
something different about you. Amen. That's the glory of God
that we're carrying. We're glory carriers. Oh, I don't know.
When you walked in, I felt some peace. I can't
tell you how many times people walk into my studio
and they said, man feels like so peaceful in here.
(15:29):
Why because I have the Word of God playing two
for seven in my studio. A man like a whisper
and the word of God is what causes people to
feel the peace. It's not me. I'm not the guy
that's walking in peace two for seven, but I have
peace in me two for seven by way of Holy Spirit. Amen.
(15:51):
So there's no hocus pocus, there's no sage, there's no
crystals up in here, none of that. It's all the
power of God by way of his word word, working
and marinating all throughout the studio a man and impacting
whoever comes in. I see it, and I'm amazed every
time somebody walks in and says that. I'm like, God,
(16:11):
You're good. It's your word that gives us peace. A man.
Is your grace, and it's your mercy, it's your powers.
It's your giftings that you apply and you supply to
every single person who called upon your name to be saved.
These gifts are selfless. These gifts are others focused. We
(16:34):
read it in Romans twelve six to eight, right. We
saw that these gifts, if you have the gift of prophecy,
go ahead and prophesy a new word from God right
for that person. As long as the prophecy aligns with
the word, the God is a prophecy that will come
to pass. If it's a prophecy outside of the will,
(16:55):
outside of the purpose, outside of the plan of God,
a man of those are prophilized, I call him then
our prophecies. If you want to serve a man that's
others focused, go ahead and serve. Serve with a cheerful
smile on your face. Serve with kindness, Amen, No mumbler complaint.
If you're serving in the Kingdom of God and you
(17:15):
find yourself rumbling and mumbling and complaining, give yourself a rest,
give yourself a break. Go ahead and sit down. It's okay.
The world is not going to stop. If you or
I need a break, Amen, I'll tell you right now,
one hundred percent, the world is not going to stop.
As a matter of fact, you might need a man
a break for more than a week or two. If
(17:37):
you feel this pressure and you feel this tension, Amen. I,
in my humble opinion, I believe that ministry shouldn't burn
a minister out. According to God's word, seems like He
gives us all the supply that we need, all the courage,
all the energy right we need by way of Holy Spirit.
(17:58):
As soon as we go outside of that of His
will his purpose. Then we're gonna be doing it on
our own. And then that's when we're gonna physically get tired,
mentally get tired. Amen. The spirit is always willing. The
only thing about only weakness is the flesh. The flesh
is weak. The spirit is always willing. So as long
as we're in the spirit of God, Amen, active in
(18:21):
the spiritual things of God, active in the gift that
He has given you and me, we should not tire
and grow weary. The Bible says, don't grow weary and
tired of doing good. Amen. So if you're burned out,
go ahead and rest, pray, surround yourself with believers, brothers,
and sisters who will encourage you. Because encouragement, evidently, according
to Romans twelve six to eight, is a gift. Encouragement
(18:43):
is a gift. Amen. Giving generously is a gift freely.
You were given freely. You give, But that's a gift
of God. Amen. You can't force nobody to give. You
can't force generosity. You can encourage generosity. But now that
we know it's a gift from God, Amen, I think
that means not everybody would have it to gift. The
(19:03):
generosity I've met people of the Lord that are cheap
that they don't you know, they don't want to help,
they don't want to give. Amen, because they think there's
motives for the people that are asking for the gifts. Amen.
I've been there, done that, a man. I've been in
communities that it's hard to give because you just don't
(19:25):
see the impact of the giving. It seems like it's
only for a certain group of people. But regardless purpose
in your heart, what you're going to give, when you
go ahead and give, and give cheerfully. God doesn't need
our money, he doesn't need our finances. He doesn't need
anything from us a man. As a matter of fact,
he doesn't even owe us anything. But because God is love,
(19:48):
he shares with others through us that he is real,
that he's alive, that he's the King of kings, the
Lord of lords, that he owns the cattle, he owns
all the money, he owns everything good and only good.
Gifts come from the Father of lights, right, the Father
of lights. So God is good. He's gracious in all
(20:10):
his ways. Brother, Ray, good morning, God bless you. Good morning,
my bro. It's good to see you on the morning.
Devo so selfless and others. Focus is the purpose of
the spiritual gifts that God gives us? It's for somebody else. Amen. Okay,
I might have X, y Z gifts. What are they for?
Just for me? Just for me to look in the
(20:32):
mirror say I got these gifts, I'm this and I'm that. No,
it's for others. Amen, go ahead and share the gift
that God has given you. To see what happens to
the other person's life. Right, see what happens to your life.
Because what God gives us is eternal and it has
eternal impact. I hope you're getting this. How about this?
(20:53):
Sometimes the gift of God that God gives us is
overlooked by the world because they look at it and
they say, well, the gift is that. How much money
is it going to is this person going to get
by having the gift of encouragement? Amen? The world seeds
is totally different. They try to buy the gifts of God.
They see a minister, they try to bribe the minister.
(21:16):
They try to give the minister money so that way, somehow,
some way they could benefit off the minister's gifts. So
these spiritual gifts are often overlooked, right, and definitely not
praised by the world. The world could care less about
spiritual gifts because they don't want the kingdom principle. They
(21:36):
don't want to be ruled by a kingdom system. They
want to rule and reign themselves, and they want to
be over people. Amen. The world system and God's system
is totally different. I hope you realize that this world
system that we're currently living in. The Bible says that believers,
children of God, we are in this world. We're not
(21:57):
of this world. This world system is being run by
the God of this world. The God of this world
is not Jesus, the Christ aim in. The God of
this world's system is the devil. Amen. You can see
that in scripture. If you don't believe me, you're a
head and Google that strengthened through humility. Our gifts are
(22:17):
strengthened through humility, obedience, and prayer. And I want to
add also sacrifice. Amen. When we are running with the
gifts of God, when we are flowing in the gift
of God, you're going to see people impacted, including yourself.
But when your others focused, you become self less, not selfish. Amen.
(22:40):
And you start giving, you give of yourself, You give
of your time, treasure, talent gifts. You give it out
for the kingdom purposes of God. Worldly gifts from the
world temporary. They're selfish, Amen. They need approval from other people,
and they find it their purpose through other people. Worldly
(23:05):
gifts from the world or human effort. If you go
to First John, chapter number two, First John, Chapter number two,
verses fifteen to seventeen, you'll see what the worldly gifts offer. Amen.
The purpose behind the gifts that the world is trying
to influence us to have or to get a man.
You see it on the ads all the time late
(23:25):
at night. If you have this, you become like this,
or you will get this benefit, or you will if
you take this pill, you'll be have superhuman strength, or this,
that and the third. Although some of these products may
help you in certain areas of our lives, but notice
those that help is temporal. They need they're telling you
(23:49):
something that's going to help you for the moment. God
is telling you something that will help you for eternity. Amen. Wealth, fame, beauty, influence, charisma,
all of that that the world offers looks pretty to
most people. It looks appealing. It's attracting a lot of
people daily, but those are only temporal gifts. Material possessions, cars, houses, clothes, temporary.
(24:17):
So the gifts of the world are temporary and they're
fleeing fleeting. They can be used for good, also for evil.
God's gifts should not be used for evil because God's
gifts doesn't come from an evil source. It comes from
God himself, which is good all the time. So there's
a couple of more things here. I'll probably have to
(24:39):
finish this up again another time, but Eternal Impact Romans
chapter six. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Thank you
so much for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo.
I bless you all in the name of Jesus. Thank
you so much for coming through God. Bless you all.
God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
(25:00):

and the scripture word for word, Amen, so that way
you won't miss what we're seeing and what we're talking
(07:17):
about today on the morning. The screen ready for those
who are streaming live with me, a man. For those
are watching, I'm going to put something on the screen
so you can see the scripture for yourself. Is beautiful thing,
A beautiful thing. When we come together, and we read
the scriptures together. Amen, So that way we could be
all the same page, literally, when it comes to what
(07:39):
we're seeing, what we're reading, and what we're hearing from
the Lord. Amen. His word is alive, his word is active,
His word is sharper than any double edged short and
his word is able to perform exactly what his word
is intended to perform in your life and in my life.
God is that good. He's that big of a God. Amen.
He's eternal, and his impact is eternal, a man eternal
(08:03):
impact to Dan and morning devo. So let's get to
the scripture Romans, chapter number twelve, verses six to eight.
Since we have gifts that differ, love it. We have
different gifts. Put those different gifts together and we have
a unified purpose. Amen. Unity, Please, Lord, help us be
(08:23):
unified for your sake. The body of Christ coming together
gives the enemy a headache. Since we have gifts that differ,
according to the grace given to us, each of us
is to use them accordingly. If someone has the gift
(08:44):
of prophecy, let him speak a new message from God
to his people in proportion to the faith possessed. If
service in the act of serving, or he who teaches
in the act of teaching, or he who encourages in
the act of encouragement. He who gives with generosity, he
(09:07):
who leads with diligence, he who shows mercy in caring
for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are powerful, eternal, impactful
gifts that God has divvied out by himself right for
his purpose, for his plan, for his redemptive work on
(09:28):
this earth. Do you see the gifts here? Some of
them are gifts a prophecy. Let them prophesy. Right, give
a new message from God to his people, in proportion
with what in proportion with what they know, in proportion
with the amount of people in the crowd know, in
proportion to the faith that we have. Faith is a
(09:51):
gift from God. Yes, if service, keep on serving. Right,
if you're teaching, go ahead and teach. We want to
encourage people. Yes, encouragement a gift from God. Go ahead
and encourage people. We want to give with generosity a
gift from God. Look at that, Go ahead and give.
(10:14):
You want to lead, lead with diligence, show mercy, show mercy, right,
care for others with cheerfulness. Amen. These are eternal impactful
gifts from God for eternity. You and I will be
surprised how many people we might automatically think, oh, they
(10:37):
you know, they've been treated kindly. You don't know that, Amen.
I've been in restaurants and I've talked spoken to the
waitress and the waiter. Amen, how you having, how you doing?
How you having? You're having a good day? And They'll
stop sometimes and tell me some stories. I'll be like wow,
So I'll be like, bless you God, bless you. You know.
(10:58):
I hope you get they gets better, and I make
sure I try to leave them the best tip that
I can offer at that moment, in that time, Amen,
because man, we never know. An act of kindness could
shift shift somebody's life, An active kindness could shift somebody's
life and impact them for eternity. Since the joys I
(11:18):
see you, good morning, God, bless you, good morning. She
sends group blessings to us all in Jesus name, Thank
you for your blessings. I could, really, I really, you know,
receive those blessings, keep them, keep the blessings coming with
my sister. Amen. So let me get to my notes
real quick. Amen. We're almost out of time, here. I
(11:39):
started just a little late because there's some tech issues here,
but we're here spiritual gifts, wisdom. That's a gift. Amen.
You might be thinking, well, everybody knows this and everybody
knows that, and not necessarily you know. And I want
to say that five years ago, maybe even longer than that,
(12:01):
I was witnessing street preaching. Can you imagine Sam doing
street preaching the street evangelism. And I walked up to
a couple and I said, have you I asked the question,
have you ever heard the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ?
And in my mind I was like, yeah, you know,
they gonna say, yeah, I heard it. So they gotta
either say I believe or not. But they sincerely, I
(12:22):
don't know what country they were from. I was thinking
they were citizens for the United States, and they said
they never heard the gospel message of the Lord Jesus.
Grown couple looked like they was in their mid fifties.
They said they were married for years, and we took
(12:42):
it from there, Holy Spirit took it from there. I
should say, Amen. So we can't automatically assume, we can't
automatically think that everybody has heard the gospel. We can't
automatically assume or think that everybody has the wisdom from
God and that they know what they're talking about. Nos
of God leads men and women to repent. The wisdom
(13:03):
of God is a gift that God gives us to
spread this message powerfully and give somebody a revelation from
God by way of Holy Spirit working through us. So
spiritual gifts like wisdom, faith, healing, right, prophecy, teaching, and
discernment are all examples of these eternal gifts that have
(13:29):
eternal impact on the people that we come across. Hey, man,
that's how powerful this is. That's how serious this is,
and that's how I feel like that. You feel responsible
after you know something and after God shows you something. Amen,
you feel responsible for sharing what you know. And man,
this is not something that we hoard. We don't hide
(13:51):
a man. We're not closet Christians. We go out to
the b highways and byways, supermarkets. Everywhere we are. We
bring the Kingdom of God with us. Everywhere we are,
we bring Holy Spirit with us. We are the living
temples of God here on this planet. The temple of
God is you, are, you and me. We're the temples
(14:12):
of God. Walking across the earth, walking across our neighborhoods,
walking across our communities, going to church. When you go
to a church building, there's no power until the people
of God get to the building. Amen. The only power
the building has is the electrical power. Right. Other than that,
no power. There's no you know, no supernatural thing about
(14:37):
the bricks and mortar of a building. It's when the
Body of Christ enters the building that the power comes
to be the power of Holy spirit. Amen. Spiritual gifts.
So we read in Romans twelve versus six to eight.
You could also cross reference First Corinthians, chapter twelve, the
whole chapter. Amen, we have these gifts that actually cause
(15:06):
people to want more of what we have. Amen. You
ever met somebody said, I don't know about it. There's
something different about you. Amen. That's the glory of God
that we're carrying. We're glory carriers. Oh, I don't know.
When you walked in, I felt some peace. I can't
tell you how many times people walk into my studio
and they said, man feels like so peaceful in here.
(15:29):
Why because I have the Word of God playing two
for seven in my studio. A man like a whisper
and the word of God is what causes people to
feel the peace. It's not me. I'm not the guy
that's walking in peace two for seven, but I have
peace in me two for seven by way of Holy Spirit. Amen.
(15:51):
So there's no hocus pocus, there's no sage, there's no
crystals up in here, none of that. It's all the
power of God by way of his word word, working
and marinating all throughout the studio a man and impacting
whoever comes in. I see it, and I'm amazed every
time somebody walks in and says that. I'm like, God,
(16:11):
You're good. It's your word that gives us peace. A man.
Is your grace, and it's your mercy, it's your powers.
It's your giftings that you apply and you supply to
every single person who called upon your name to be saved.
These gifts are selfless. These gifts are others focused. We
(16:34):
read it in Romans twelve six to eight, right. We
saw that these gifts, if you have the gift of prophecy,
go ahead and prophesy a new word from God right
for that person. As long as the prophecy aligns with
the word, the God is a prophecy that will come
to pass. If it's a prophecy outside of the will,
(16:55):
outside of the purpose, outside of the plan of God,
a man of those are prophilized, I call him then
our prophecies. If you want to serve a man that's
others focused, go ahead and serve. Serve with a cheerful
smile on your face. Serve with kindness, Amen, No mumbler complaint.
If you're serving in the Kingdom of God and you
(17:15):
find yourself rumbling and mumbling and complaining, give yourself a rest,
give yourself a break. Go ahead and sit down. It's okay.
The world is not going to stop. If you or
I need a break, Amen, I'll tell you right now,
one hundred percent, the world is not going to stop.
As a matter of fact, you might need a man
a break for more than a week or two. If
(17:37):
you feel this pressure and you feel this tension, Amen. I,
in my humble opinion, I believe that ministry shouldn't burn
a minister out. According to God's word, seems like He
gives us all the supply that we need, all the courage,
all the energy right we need by way of Holy Spirit.
(17:58):
As soon as we go outside of that of His
will his purpose. Then we're gonna be doing it on
our own. And then that's when we're gonna physically get tired,
mentally get tired. Amen. The spirit is always willing. The
only thing about only weakness is the flesh. The flesh
is weak. The spirit is always willing. So as long
as we're in the spirit of God, Amen, active in
(18:21):
the spiritual things of God, active in the gift that
He has given you and me, we should not tire
and grow weary. The Bible says, don't grow weary and
tired of doing good. Amen. So if you're burned out,
go ahead and rest, pray, surround yourself with believers, brothers,
and sisters who will encourage you. Because encouragement, evidently, according
to Romans twelve six to eight, is a gift. Encouragement
(18:43):
is a gift. Amen. Giving generously is a gift freely.
You were given freely. You give, But that's a gift
of God. Amen. You can't force nobody to give. You
can't force generosity. You can encourage generosity. But now that
we know it's a gift from God, Amen, I think
that means not everybody would have it to gift. The
(19:03):
generosity I've met people of the Lord that are cheap
that they don't you know, they don't want to help,
they don't want to give. Amen, because they think there's
motives for the people that are asking for the gifts. Amen.
I've been there, done that, a man. I've been in
communities that it's hard to give because you just don't
(19:25):
see the impact of the giving. It seems like it's
only for a certain group of people. But regardless purpose
in your heart, what you're going to give, when you
go ahead and give, and give cheerfully. God doesn't need
our money, he doesn't need our finances. He doesn't need
anything from us a man. As a matter of fact,
he doesn't even owe us anything. But because God is love,
(19:48):
he shares with others through us that he is real,
that he's alive, that he's the King of kings, the
Lord of lords, that he owns the cattle, he owns
all the money, he owns everything good and only good.
Gifts come from the Father of lights, right, the Father
of lights. So God is good. He's gracious in all
(20:10):
his ways. Brother, Ray, good morning, God bless you. Good morning,
my bro. It's good to see you on the morning.
Devo so selfless and others. Focus is the purpose of
the spiritual gifts that God gives us? It's for somebody else. Amen. Okay,
I might have X, y Z gifts. What are they for?
Just for me? Just for me to look in the
(20:32):
mirror say I got these gifts, I'm this and I'm that. No,
it's for others. Amen, go ahead and share the gift
that God has given you. To see what happens to
the other person's life. Right, see what happens to your life.
Because what God gives us is eternal and it has
eternal impact. I hope you're getting this. How about this?
(20:53):
Sometimes the gift of God that God gives us is
overlooked by the world because they look at it and
they say, well, the gift is that. How much money
is it going to is this person going to get
by having the gift of encouragement? Amen? The world seeds
is totally different. They try to buy the gifts of God.
They see a minister, they try to bribe the minister.
(21:16):
They try to give the minister money so that way, somehow,
some way they could benefit off the minister's gifts. So
these spiritual gifts are often overlooked, right, and definitely not
praised by the world. The world could care less about
spiritual gifts because they don't want the kingdom principle. They
(21:36):
don't want to be ruled by a kingdom system. They
want to rule and reign themselves, and they want to
be over people. Amen. The world system and God's system
is totally different. I hope you realize that this world
system that we're currently living in. The Bible says that believers,
children of God, we are in this world. We're not
(21:57):
of this world. This world system is being run by
the God of this world. The God of this world
is not Jesus, the Christ aim in. The God of
this world's system is the devil. Amen. You can see
that in scripture. If you don't believe me, you're a
head and Google that strengthened through humility. Our gifts are
(22:17):
strengthened through humility, obedience, and prayer. And I want to
add also sacrifice. Amen. When we are running with the
gifts of God, when we are flowing in the gift
of God, you're going to see people impacted, including yourself.
But when your others focused, you become self less, not selfish. Amen.
(22:40):
And you start giving, you give of yourself, You give
of your time, treasure, talent gifts. You give it out
for the kingdom purposes of God. Worldly gifts from the
world temporary. They're selfish, Amen. They need approval from other people,
and they find it their purpose through other people. Worldly
(23:05):
gifts from the world or human effort. If you go
to First John, chapter number two, First John, Chapter number two,
verses fifteen to seventeen, you'll see what the worldly gifts offer. Amen.
The purpose behind the gifts that the world is trying
to influence us to have or to get a man.
You see it on the ads all the time late
(23:25):
at night. If you have this, you become like this,
or you will get this benefit, or you will if
you take this pill, you'll be have superhuman strength, or this,
that and the third. Although some of these products may
help you in certain areas of our lives, but notice
those that help is temporal. They need they're telling you
(23:49):
something that's going to help you for the moment. God
is telling you something that will help you for eternity. Amen. Wealth, fame, beauty, influence, charisma,
all of that that the world offers looks pretty to
most people. It looks appealing. It's attracting a lot of
people daily, but those are only temporal gifts. Material possessions, cars, houses, clothes, temporary.
(24:17):
So the gifts of the world are temporary and they're
fleeing fleeting. They can be used for good, also for evil.
God's gifts should not be used for evil because God's
gifts doesn't come from an evil source. It comes from
God himself, which is good all the time. So there's
a couple of more things here. I'll probably have to
(24:39):
finish this up again another time, but Eternal Impact Romans
chapter six. Read the whole chapter for yourself. Thank you
so much for hanging out with me for this morning. Devo.
I bless you all in the name of Jesus. Thank
you so much for coming through God. Bless you all.
God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
(25:00):
