Speaker 1 (00:03):
We want a family. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome
back to the Morning Devo. It's your bro Sam Lopez
aka Dj sam Rock so Winners with a z dot
org Live, that's SO Winners with a z dot org
streaming on social media platforms, including our YouTube page, which
is simply called Dj sam Rock. Amen, and thank you
so much for visiting me there on YouTube. I was
(00:23):
looking at the stats the other day, Amen, and they're
kind of cool. Amen. I wish there was more engagement
and all that stuff. But listen, I'm not that guy
that's following the culture of following the algorithm. I'm the
guy following the anoint the Holy Spirit. Amen. And wherever
he wants me to go or whatever he wants me
(00:44):
to show, wherever he wants me to glow, whatever he
wants me to teach, Amen or reach or say or do,
I'm gonna do that, Amen. And that's my algorithm. Amen,
the Holy Spirit Him, the Holy Spirit. So thank you
so much for engage wherever you engage at, whether it's
the podcast, whether it's celebrated network, live stream page, websites
(01:07):
on SO Warders with a dot Org is a live
chat there as well. But thank you so much for
hanging out with me. This is your first time on
the Morning Devo's not a coincidence. Thank you. God has
led you to this place for a purpose and a
plan for your life specifically. That's an amazing thing, right
for your life specifically. Amen. And I'm working on some
(01:27):
tech issues with my apps. Now, my apps to be
showing us some weird graphics. Like right now, it's showing
some weird graphic. A man has nothing to do with
the image that you need to see on social media,
the image you need to see on YouTube, the image
you get to see on social media platforms, and the
image that you actually see at Celebrated Network on the
(01:48):
app is showing some weird stuff. So I'm trying to
get with the tech team on the apps. My apologies
if this is a weird image that I'm looking at
right now and it has the Morning Devot tag on it,
but it's not me. That's not my image. Amen. So
God is good. He's faithful at everything that he does
through us, Amen. And we can do what we we
(02:10):
are full to do with power, Amen, with authority, and
with confidence, a man with confidence. Let me just make
sure getting in an audio, Okay, now getting the audio
and we see here it's just weird stuff has been
happening man lately with my audio on the podcast. But
we're gonna get there. Amen. We're gonna finish strong, finish
(02:33):
with faith. This is what the one in Devo today
is called. Finish with faith. As this year comes to
a close, God isn't asking you or me to look
back in regret. Don't regret anything, don't look back and
regret things. He wants us to finish with faith. So
(02:54):
this is an invitation from the Lord for us to
finish with faith. And faith is Christ, Amen, not faith
in faith, not hope and hope not religion. This is
a relationship that me and you have without a heavenly father. Amen.
If you were fortunate to have your earthly dad around,
(03:14):
still Amen, Praise God. Bless that man for his effort,
Bless that man for his sacrifice. Amen. Even if you're
having a strange relationship, Thank God for that man a man.
Pray for that man. Unfortunately I don't have my dad. Amen.
He passed when I was fifteen years old and at
(03:35):
a crucial point in my life. But the last year
of his life he finished with faith because he was
telling me the last year of his life because he
knew something was going on. He knew he was sick. Amen.
I didn't know, but he kept on telling me when
I'm gone, this is exact quote, when I'm gone, follow
your heavenly Father, Go after your heavenly Father. I was like,
who what is he talking about. I didn't get it
(03:57):
until fifteen years later, when I was thirty years old.
I was reminded about that, and I spoke to God.
And Amen, it's a long story, but I spoke to God.
I asked him to do something in my life individually,
and he did it. And he can do something in
your life too. Or you gotta do is call out
to him and act. Galatians Chapter six, verse number nine,
(04:19):
A man finished with faith today in the morning, Devo.
If you have any 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.
God is good at what he does. Amen. God is good.
So we're gonna pray first. After we pray, we'll share
this out for like sixty seconds, and then on the
other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get right into
(04:41):
today's morning Devo, which is called Finish with Faith. Father,
I thank you that you are our faith. I thank you,
Lord God that you speak and you respond to our prayers.
Thank you, Lord God for speaking life over us. Since
before the foundations of the earth. You created us, formed us,
and fashioned us in the secret place of our mother's
(05:02):
wound for a purpose and plan both male and female
you created us. Thank you, Lord God, that you are
worthy of all the praise, honor, worship and adoration. Lord God,
we could really trust you and have confidence in who
you are in us and who we are in you.
Thank you, Lord God. For today, I pray, Lord God
a hedge of protection. And it's cold region that we're
(05:26):
broadcasting from. I pray for every single homeless person that
somehow someway and they will have shelter, somehow, some way
they will have food and heat and warmth. Thank you,
Lord God for sending your missionaries to these places where
people will not go normally, but you send them and
they are on mission. And Lord God, that you anoint them,
that you protect them, guide them, reguard them as well
(05:48):
as they do the work for the kingdom. I pray,
Lord God that you will show us through your word
engulations of how we can finish off this year in faith,
not in regret and not in the past, or not
thinking like the past, but thinking of the current. Lord
and Savior You Lor God, Will you inspire us, encourage
(06:08):
us and keep us going by way of your Holy Spirit.
So I speak life, not death. I speak faith forward
and not regrets and doubt. In the powerful name of Jesus,
I prayed this by faith, and all those who agree
we say amen too, and Amen, Thank you so much,
Lord for guiding, guarding and protecting my family and everybody's
family represented on the other side of the screen and
(06:29):
the other side of this mic. Thank you so much. Lord,
help me shut this out sixty seconds. When we come back,
we'll get right into today's morning deal. I'll be right back.
(08:04):
Is there an app? I know I've been asking this
all year, maybe several years. Is there an app that
can share out to all your group groups at one time?
That would be awesome? That would be amazing. I'll say, amazing.
God is awesome. Am I leave that We're awesome for
the exclusivesly for God. But you know what I'm saying,
that would be great because trying to share the live
(08:26):
out Amen to all these groups is kind of a task.
Thank you Podcast Promotion Group for allowing me to share
this on your page. Thank you God It's great, Come
and Join for sharing this on your group page as well.
Thank you Team Jesus Amen for sharing this on your
group page. Amen. Thank you Kingdom Believers Network for sharing
this on your group page. And so many other groups
(08:46):
that allow me to share this through. Amen. So if
you know of an app that allows or maybe there's
an app developer right now that I can give you
this idea, figure out how to go and have a
one button share for all the groups that we're in.
Thank you Open your Bible for sharing this out to
your group page. Amen. So let's go for it. There's
(09:07):
a lot of groups on here that are sharing out
and I'm grateful for that. Amen. I don't take that
for granted that shares their information or whatever on my
group as well, so I kind of screen them, Amen.
And the ones that I do trust, they have an
auto auto through, like they could automatically post whatever they
(09:27):
want to post on there. Amen. And thank you also
for gab give a blessing, get a blessing. Amen. Yeah,
for sharing on your group page as well. So finish
with faith. Good morning, Sister Joaine, I see you, Good morning,
God bless you. Amen, welcome back to the Morning Devo,
my system and my friend. Let's see finish with faith.
(09:51):
Let me put this on the screen for those who
are watching, for those who are just listening. No worries,
no problem, you already know. I'm going to read this
word for word, so that way nobody misses out what's happening. Amen,
on the Morning Devo, and let me do something real quick. Yess,
I can't do it no more. Wow, they change that.
Looks like they changed something here. Oh, it's changing something
(10:14):
on these apps. Man, it's amazing something that worked out
so good. They always changed. I got my curses showing.
But that's the right. We could deal with that. Amen.
Relations Chapter six, verse number nine, the Bible says, let
us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good.
(10:38):
But at the proper time we will reap if we
do not give in. In other words, if you're like me, listen,
you try to do good to everyone, and a lot
of times that goodness gets misunderstood as weakness or they
try to take advantage of that goodness, or they don't
(10:58):
appreciate it, or what whatever the case may be. If
you're like me, try hard not to take it personal.
People are hurting, and maybe because they're hurting, they think
that your goodness is something connected to it or there's
a strings attached to it. Meanwhile, you're just doing good
(11:19):
because you know that God is good. So don't grow weary,
don't get tired or become discouraged in doing good. Keep
on doing good because in a proper time, you will
reap and I will reap if we do not give up. Amen.
And it's not doing good to get something. Is doing
good because you have the greatest good inside of you,
(11:41):
living holy spirit God, and he wants us to finish
with faith, and he wants you and me to get
as many people involved in the kingdom work of God,
introduce as many people as we can in our life
to the Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. So
finish with faith. And that's where we're on. Amen today,
as I get to my notes, let me get to
(12:03):
my notes here, Amen. So that's what I'm talking about.
So staying courage for those who are doing good, keep
on doing good, don't stop doing good. I know how
it feels when you know people don't respond, or when
people look at you like we have three heads because
nothing kind to them. And then I'm used to kindness
a man. There's a lot of reasons why people reject
(12:24):
what I'm doing here, or what you're doing, what you're
doing in your area, in your home, in your job,
in your school, Amen, even in your church. Some people
look at you like, where's the strings? Amen, there's something
you're doing this for other reasons. Meanwhile, you're genuinely trying
to do something for someone else and honoring God with that. Amen.
(12:45):
So got ahead and keep on doing good. Right. The
year is coming to an end, believe it or not,
This year is coming to an end. At the time
it's recording, we are leaving this year a man and
entering into a new year. And Lord willing will will
enter it in faith, Amen, Not in regret, not in sadness,
not in shame, not in guilt, not in discouragement, not
(13:06):
in doubts, right, not in lack, but in faith. Finish
with faith, Finish this year with faith right and in
the year strong means this thanking God for what He
carried you and I through You've been through things. I've
been through things, things this year. I'm going through things
(13:27):
this year, and you're going through things this year. But
let's thank God for what he already carried us through.
Trust him right, trust him with what's still not finished. Amen.
You ever made a prayer to God and you're like, God,
I need this prayer to be answered like today, before
this year is over. Of course, we all have those prayers.
(13:50):
We've all prayed for things for people. Were all prayed
for our financial gain, we all prayed for our health.
We're all prayed for our children. We all prayed for
our spouses or significant others. We always prayed for our family. Amen,
and we want things answered. How do we know that
God is not answering us prayers already? How do we
(14:11):
know that God has not already responded? Because I know
I can't be everywhere at one time, looking at every
one of my prayer requests and say, okay, finally happen.
Let me move to the next then look at that
final result and look at it. I can't do that.
You can't do that either. We just trust God and
we thank him. Trust Him for what's still unfinished. Fix
your eyes on Jesus. We've been on that on that
(14:34):
kind of frequency for a minute now. On the money devo,
focusing on the perfect or perfect, focusing on the author
and perfective our faith. Amen. Fixing your eyes on Jesus,
not your setbacks, and not your challenges, not your your temptations. No,
(14:54):
focus on Jesus. God finishes what he starts, and you
will only know that if you have a personal relationship
with him. If you're in some kind of religion or
some kind of cultish activity, or maybe you were in
another religion. Looking at Jesus funny, because he is the
good one. He's the good Shepherd, He's the perfect Lamb
(15:15):
of God. He is the Messiah, he is the voice
of the Lord a man. He is the perfector and
the finisher of our faith. He is the Way, the truth,
and the life. He is all of that. If you're
looking at him strange because you're from a different religion,
you don't understand who Jesus is, It's okay. Ask him,
ask him for understanding, Amen. And if you ask Jesus
(15:37):
with all good heart, with an honest heart, amen, who
he is, he will reveal himself to you as well.
And the only way you would know that God finishes
what he starts. A man is if you have a
personal relationship with the God of Heaven and Earth through
the Lord, and if you're still standing, that means he's
still working. If you're still alive, that means he's not
(15:59):
done with you. He's not done with me. If we're
still breathing, he's not done with us. We're still standing.
He's still working. So don't quit. We're so close to
the end of this year. Don't quit. Keep on doing good.
People who don't understand the goodness of God. Amen, they're
doing what they're doing because that's all they know what
to do. Amen, don't take it personal. The world system
(16:23):
is gonna do what the world system does. The Kingdom
of God. We're going to keep on trusting, believing, and hoping,
and we're gonna keep on being guided by Holy Spirit God.
We're gonna keep on moving and love, grace and mercy.
We're going to keep on loving one another. We're gonna
keep on praying for one another. We're going to keep
on developing stronger relationships with each other. Amen. We're not
gonna be at the dinner table or the restaurant on
(16:44):
the phone just not even talking, just doing being on
the phone, not being present. Amen. We're not doing that. Amen.
We're the body of Christ. We have something to say.
We have the God of heaven and earth, our Father alive,
the resurrected Jesus. We are expecting him to come back soon.
He is coming back, Amen. So don't get tired of
(17:07):
being who you are in Christ. As a matter of fact,
if you are getting where we're tired, I suggest that
you read the gospels again right, that you continue to
get into a personal relationship with the Lord. If you're
getting tired, that might mean that you're doing things in
your own strength, in your flesh. Amen. You might be
(17:31):
not sinning like depict sins or anything like that. You
just might be getting tired of what people are doing,
or what people are saying, or even what you're doing
or what I'm doing. Amen. Once I feel the pressure
of me, I try to okay, okay, I'm doing something
on my own efforts. Because when you're doing the works
(17:52):
of the Lord. Amen. When I do this, amen, I
get this supernatural strength. Amen. I'm if you know me,
if you know me for years, you know I am
not an early bird. I am a night owl, and man,
I had to discipline myself to wake up in the morning,
discipline myself to not stay up two three in the morning, amen,
(18:13):
because that's normally my hours. That was most creative. So
I asked God to help me because one time he
challenged me, or he asked me a question. He said,
why don't you put me first? And me, I was
already saved, like what fifteen years? I'm like, what do
you mean, Lord, I always put you first? And he said, no,
the first of your day, before you get on social media,
(18:34):
before you do X y Z, why don't you put
me first? And I said, ah, first thing in the morning.
That's how I took it. So I said, my first
in the morning. It's like five thirty in the morning,
five o'clock in the morning. I used to be at
ten o'clock in the morning. I actually do this morning
DeVos when everybody was already up, people were already at
work and all that stuff. And I was like, nah,
let's not I don't think about That's what the Lord
(18:54):
was telling me. I think he was telling me, first
thing in the day, put me first. So that's why
I start these morning devots so early. Amen. I thank
God for that, for his power, for his encouragement, for
his word, and I could testify of his goodness. So
if he's good, I could do good. Amen. Good morning, Joyce,
I see you, sister Joyce. God bless you. Good morning
to you and your family. Thank you for the blessings
(19:16):
over the group as well. Amen. It's good to see
my system and my friend. So Galatians six and nine.
That's what we were. The apostle pau inspired by Holy Spirit.
God is encouraging the church, encouraging you and encouraging me
right now and saying, don't get weary, keep on doing good.
People need to see the goodness of God working through you.
(19:38):
People see needs to see the goodness of God working
through a family, working through a church, working through church leaders,
working through the Body of Christ, because they're not going
to see the goodness in this world. The world has
this pseudo religious goodness right all the religions. They seem
to be like good people, but they don't trust in Jesus.
(20:00):
They trust in who they created to be Jesus. Amen.
So don't quit. We're almost there. Amen, Your promise is
on his way. The Word of God over your life
is going to be fulfilled. Imagine me giving up on
a promise from God like hours before that promise was
(20:22):
coming to pass. That would be horrible. That's why I
believe the world. The world looks at a Christian and
be like, yeah, you guys are hoping in some kind
of fantasy world or some kind of fantasy God because
they don't see immediate action. They don't see immediate response
from our God. Sometimes that's their perception because they're so
(20:42):
used to getting immediate answers from AI, immediate answers from Google, search,
from YouTube. They want immediate results. And there's people out
there that they say, listen, I'm not going to follow
your God unless he gives me x y Z. They
already have it all figured out. So when people say, yeah,
you believe in that God, I don't believe there's a god,
I always ask them so that means you have a
(21:02):
better way, and you figured it out right, you figured
it all out. You don't have any problems with issues
or any pain in your life. And they get real
quiet because we all share problems, we all share pain
in this life. And Jesus promised it. He said, in
this world you will have pain, trouble tribulation, but be
(21:23):
of good cheer, and he's talking to believers, he's talking
to his children. Be of good cheer because he's already
coming and taking care of this world system. Amen. Right,
he already came to this world already, and he knows
the system doesn't work, but he knows the Kingdom of
God is established, the Kingdom of God is powerful, the
Kingdom of God is united, the Kingdom of God is
spotless without blame, and he's coming back for his church
(21:46):
very soon. Amen. So don't give up so close. Don't
coast into the new year with the same discouragement from
last year. Man, that would be horrible. Don't have a
whole year of going to church services, maybe in the
community of believers, maybe doing outreaches, and then bring discouragement
into the next year. That's why at the end of
(22:10):
the year you hear so many messages and preachers and
evangelists and apostles and teachers, a man of prophets talking
and encouraging people to finish off strong because I know
what it is to do things for the Kingdom of God,
and seemingly nothing happens on the other end of that.
(22:30):
But I have to trust in God that he's working
out things that we don't see. I don't see, amen,
But he's working on it. Amen. Why because God is
faithful to his word. If God speaks a thing, it
is a thing. If God promises you something and promises
me something, it will come to pass. Just don't give
up on the promise. Don't give up on God. Finish
(22:51):
this year in prayer, Finish this year in gratitude, and
finish this year with expectation. What are you expecting from God?
I always expect what God expects. Amen. If I look
at his word and it's there, I'll leave it there
because God says, well, I'm going to do this in
your life, in your family's life, in your generation, to
(23:12):
the generation's next. Amen, I'm gonna trust God. It's his
word that's on the page, not my word that's on
the page. It's his word that's being on the spotlight,
not my word. Amen. So your strongest season, it would
be right now, and it could be coming close to
(23:32):
the end of the year. Walk in that current season,
walk in Christ's walking victory. And according to Galatians Chapter
six and nine, don't get tired of doing good because
at the right time, the proper time, you will reap
what you sold. Amen. Thank you so much. Galationis chapter six,
verse nine. That's where we camped out. Take the time
(23:52):
to read Relations, chapter six, the whole chapter. Thank you
so much for hanging out with me for this morning. DEVO.
God bless you all. God keep you all, and remember
always that God is good. Peace.
We want a family. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome
back to the Morning Devo. It's your bro Sam Lopez
aka Dj sam Rock so Winners with a z dot

so much for visiting me there on YouTube. I was
(00:23):
looking at the stats the other day, Amen, and they're
kind of cool. Amen. I wish there was more engagement
and all that stuff. But listen, I'm not that guy
that's following the culture of following the algorithm. I'm the
guy following the anoint the Holy Spirit. Amen. And wherever
he wants me to go or whatever he wants me
(00:44):

so much for engage wherever you engage at, whether it's
the podcast, whether it's celebrated network, live stream page, websites
(01:07):

chat there as well. But thank you so much for
hanging out with me. This is your first time on
the Morning Devo's not a coincidence. Thank you. God has
led you to this place for a purpose and a
plan for your life specifically. That's an amazing thing, right
for your life specifically. Amen. And I'm working on some
(01:27):
tech issues with my apps. Now, my apps to be
showing us some weird graphics. Like right now, it's showing
some weird graphic. A man has nothing to do with
the image that you need to see on social media,
the image you need to see on YouTube, the image
you get to see on social media platforms, and the
image that you actually see at Celebrated Network on the
(01:48):
app is showing some weird stuff. So I'm trying to
get with the tech team on the apps. My apologies
if this is a weird image that I'm looking at
right now and it has the Morning Devot tag on it,
but it's not me. That's not my image. Amen. So
God is good. He's faithful at everything that he does
through us, Amen. And we can do what we we
(02:10):
are full to do with power, Amen, with authority, and
with confidence, a man with confidence. Let me just make
sure getting in an audio, Okay, now getting the audio
and we see here it's just weird stuff has been
happening man lately with my audio on the podcast. But
we're gonna get there. Amen. We're gonna finish strong, finish
(02:33):
with faith. This is what the one in Devo today
is called. Finish with faith. As this year comes to
a close, God isn't asking you or me to look
back in regret. Don't regret anything, don't look back and
regret things. He wants us to finish with faith. So
(02:54):
this is an invitation from the Lord for us to
finish with faith. And faith is Christ, Amen, not faith
in faith, not hope and hope not religion. This is
a relationship that me and you have without a heavenly father. Amen.
If you were fortunate to have your earthly dad around,
(03:14):
still Amen, Praise God. Bless that man for his effort,
Bless that man for his sacrifice. Amen. Even if you're
having a strange relationship, Thank God for that man a man.
Pray for that man. Unfortunately I don't have my dad. Amen.
He passed when I was fifteen years old and at
(03:35):
a crucial point in my life. But the last year
of his life he finished with faith because he was
telling me the last year of his life because he
knew something was going on. He knew he was sick. Amen.
I didn't know, but he kept on telling me when
I'm gone, this is exact quote, when I'm gone, follow
your heavenly Father, Go after your heavenly Father. I was like,
who what is he talking about. I didn't get it
(03:57):
until fifteen years later, when I was thirty years old.
I was reminded about that, and I spoke to God.
And Amen, it's a long story, but I spoke to God.
I asked him to do something in my life individually,
and he did it. And he can do something in
your life too. Or you gotta do is call out
to him and act. Galatians Chapter six, verse number nine,
(04:19):
A man finished with faith today in the morning, Devo.
If you have any 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.
God is good at what he does. Amen. God is good.
So we're gonna pray first. After we pray, we'll share
this out for like sixty seconds, and then on the
other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get right into
(04:41):
today's morning Devo, which is called Finish with Faith. Father,
I thank you that you are our faith. I thank you,
Lord God that you speak and you respond to our prayers.
Thank you, Lord God for speaking life over us. Since
before the foundations of the earth. You created us, formed us,
and fashioned us in the secret place of our mother's
(05:02):
wound for a purpose and plan both male and female
you created us. Thank you, Lord God, that you are
worthy of all the praise, honor, worship and adoration. Lord God,
we could really trust you and have confidence in who
you are in us and who we are in you.
Thank you, Lord God. For today, I pray, Lord God
a hedge of protection. And it's cold region that we're
(05:26):
broadcasting from. I pray for every single homeless person that
somehow someway and they will have shelter, somehow, some way
they will have food and heat and warmth. Thank you,
Lord God for sending your missionaries to these places where
people will not go normally, but you send them and
they are on mission. And Lord God, that you anoint them,
that you protect them, guide them, reguard them as well
(05:48):
as they do the work for the kingdom. I pray,
Lord God that you will show us through your word
engulations of how we can finish off this year in faith,
not in regret and not in the past, or not
thinking like the past, but thinking of the current. Lord
and Savior You Lor God, Will you inspire us, encourage
(06:08):
us and keep us going by way of your Holy Spirit.
So I speak life, not death. I speak faith forward
and not regrets and doubt. In the powerful name of Jesus,
I prayed this by faith, and all those who agree
we say amen too, and Amen, Thank you so much,
Lord for guiding, guarding and protecting my family and everybody's
family represented on the other side of the screen and
(06:29):
the other side of this mic. Thank you so much. Lord,
help me shut this out sixty seconds. When we come back,
we'll get right into today's morning deal. I'll be right back.
(08:04):
Is there an app? I know I've been asking this
all year, maybe several years. Is there an app that
can share out to all your group groups at one time?
That would be awesome? That would be amazing. I'll say, amazing.
God is awesome. Am I leave that We're awesome for
the exclusivesly for God. But you know what I'm saying,
that would be great because trying to share the live
(08:26):
out Amen to all these groups is kind of a task.
Thank you Podcast Promotion Group for allowing me to share
this on your page. Thank you God It's great, Come
and Join for sharing this on your group page as well.
Thank you Team Jesus Amen for sharing this on your
group page. Amen. Thank you Kingdom Believers Network for sharing
this on your group page. And so many other groups
(08:46):
that allow me to share this through. Amen. So if
you know of an app that allows or maybe there's
an app developer right now that I can give you
this idea, figure out how to go and have a
one button share for all the groups that we're in.
Thank you Open your Bible for sharing this out to
your group page. Amen. So let's go for it. There's
(09:07):
a lot of groups on here that are sharing out
and I'm grateful for that. Amen. I don't take that
for granted that shares their information or whatever on my
group as well, so I kind of screen them, Amen.
And the ones that I do trust, they have an
auto auto through, like they could automatically post whatever they
(09:27):
want to post on there. Amen. And thank you also
for gab give a blessing, get a blessing. Amen. Yeah,
for sharing on your group page as well. So finish
with faith. Good morning, Sister Joaine, I see you, Good morning,
God bless you. Amen, welcome back to the Morning Devo,
my system and my friend. Let's see finish with faith.
(09:51):
Let me put this on the screen for those who
are watching, for those who are just listening. No worries,
no problem, you already know. I'm going to read this
word for word, so that way nobody misses out what's happening. Amen,
on the Morning Devo, and let me do something real quick. Yess,
I can't do it no more. Wow, they change that.
Looks like they changed something here. Oh, it's changing something
(10:14):
on these apps. Man, it's amazing something that worked out
so good. They always changed. I got my curses showing.
But that's the right. We could deal with that. Amen.
Relations Chapter six, verse number nine, the Bible says, let
us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good.
(10:38):
But at the proper time we will reap if we
do not give in. In other words, if you're like me, listen,
you try to do good to everyone, and a lot
of times that goodness gets misunderstood as weakness or they
try to take advantage of that goodness, or they don't
(10:58):
appreciate it, or what whatever the case may be. If
you're like me, try hard not to take it personal.
People are hurting, and maybe because they're hurting, they think
that your goodness is something connected to it or there's
a strings attached to it. Meanwhile, you're just doing good
(11:19):
because you know that God is good. So don't grow weary,
don't get tired or become discouraged in doing good. Keep
on doing good because in a proper time, you will
reap and I will reap if we do not give up. Amen.
And it's not doing good to get something. Is doing
good because you have the greatest good inside of you,
(11:41):
living holy spirit God, and he wants us to finish
with faith, and he wants you and me to get
as many people involved in the kingdom work of God,
introduce as many people as we can in our life
to the Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. So
finish with faith. And that's where we're on. Amen today,
as I get to my notes, let me get to
(12:03):
my notes here, Amen. So that's what I'm talking about.
So staying courage for those who are doing good, keep
on doing good, don't stop doing good. I know how
it feels when you know people don't respond, or when
people look at you like we have three heads because
nothing kind to them. And then I'm used to kindness
a man. There's a lot of reasons why people reject
(12:24):
what I'm doing here, or what you're doing, what you're
doing in your area, in your home, in your job,
in your school, Amen, even in your church. Some people
look at you like, where's the strings? Amen, there's something
you're doing this for other reasons. Meanwhile, you're genuinely trying
to do something for someone else and honoring God with that. Amen.
(12:45):
So got ahead and keep on doing good. Right. The
year is coming to an end, believe it or not,
This year is coming to an end. At the time
it's recording, we are leaving this year a man and
entering into a new year. And Lord willing will will
enter it in faith, Amen, Not in regret, not in sadness,
not in shame, not in guilt, not in discouragement, not
(13:06):
in doubts, right, not in lack, but in faith. Finish
with faith, Finish this year with faith right and in
the year strong means this thanking God for what He
carried you and I through You've been through things. I've
been through things, things this year. I'm going through things
(13:27):
this year, and you're going through things this year. But
let's thank God for what he already carried us through.
Trust him right, trust him with what's still not finished. Amen.
You ever made a prayer to God and you're like, God,
I need this prayer to be answered like today, before
this year is over. Of course, we all have those prayers.
(13:50):
We've all prayed for things for people. Were all prayed
for our financial gain, we all prayed for our health.
We're all prayed for our children. We all prayed for
our spouses or significant others. We always prayed for our family. Amen,
and we want things answered. How do we know that
God is not answering us prayers already? How do we
(14:11):
know that God has not already responded? Because I know
I can't be everywhere at one time, looking at every
one of my prayer requests and say, okay, finally happen.
Let me move to the next then look at that
final result and look at it. I can't do that.
You can't do that either. We just trust God and
we thank him. Trust Him for what's still unfinished. Fix
your eyes on Jesus. We've been on that on that
(14:34):
kind of frequency for a minute now. On the money devo,
focusing on the perfect or perfect, focusing on the author
and perfective our faith. Amen. Fixing your eyes on Jesus,
not your setbacks, and not your challenges, not your your temptations. No,
(14:54):
focus on Jesus. God finishes what he starts, and you
will only know that if you have a personal relationship
with him. If you're in some kind of religion or
some kind of cultish activity, or maybe you were in
another religion. Looking at Jesus funny, because he is the
good one. He's the good Shepherd, He's the perfect Lamb
(15:15):
of God. He is the Messiah, he is the voice
of the Lord a man. He is the perfector and
the finisher of our faith. He is the Way, the truth,
and the life. He is all of that. If you're
looking at him strange because you're from a different religion,
you don't understand who Jesus is, It's okay. Ask him,
ask him for understanding, Amen. And if you ask Jesus
(15:37):
with all good heart, with an honest heart, amen, who
he is, he will reveal himself to you as well.
And the only way you would know that God finishes
what he starts. A man is if you have a
personal relationship with the God of Heaven and Earth through
the Lord, and if you're still standing, that means he's
still working. If you're still alive, that means he's not
(15:59):
done with you. He's not done with me. If we're
still breathing, he's not done with us. We're still standing.
He's still working. So don't quit. We're so close to
the end of this year. Don't quit. Keep on doing good.
People who don't understand the goodness of God. Amen, they're
doing what they're doing because that's all they know what
to do. Amen, don't take it personal. The world system
(16:23):
is gonna do what the world system does. The Kingdom
of God. We're going to keep on trusting, believing, and hoping,
and we're gonna keep on being guided by Holy Spirit God.
We're gonna keep on moving and love, grace and mercy.
We're going to keep on loving one another. We're gonna
keep on praying for one another. We're going to keep
on developing stronger relationships with each other. Amen. We're not
gonna be at the dinner table or the restaurant on
(16:44):
the phone just not even talking, just doing being on
the phone, not being present. Amen. We're not doing that. Amen.
We're the body of Christ. We have something to say.
We have the God of heaven and earth, our Father alive,
the resurrected Jesus. We are expecting him to come back soon.
He is coming back, Amen. So don't get tired of
(17:07):
being who you are in Christ. As a matter of fact,
if you are getting where we're tired, I suggest that
you read the gospels again right, that you continue to
get into a personal relationship with the Lord. If you're
getting tired, that might mean that you're doing things in
your own strength, in your flesh. Amen. You might be
(17:31):
not sinning like depict sins or anything like that. You
just might be getting tired of what people are doing,
or what people are saying, or even what you're doing
or what I'm doing. Amen. Once I feel the pressure
of me, I try to okay, okay, I'm doing something
on my own efforts. Because when you're doing the works
(17:52):
of the Lord. Amen. When I do this, amen, I
get this supernatural strength. Amen. I'm if you know me,
if you know me for years, you know I am
not an early bird. I am a night owl, and man,
I had to discipline myself to wake up in the morning,
discipline myself to not stay up two three in the morning, amen,
(18:13):
because that's normally my hours. That was most creative. So
I asked God to help me because one time he
challenged me, or he asked me a question. He said,
why don't you put me first? And me, I was
already saved, like what fifteen years? I'm like, what do
you mean, Lord, I always put you first? And he said, no,
the first of your day, before you get on social media,
(18:34):
before you do X y Z, why don't you put
me first? And I said, ah, first thing in the morning.
That's how I took it. So I said, my first
in the morning. It's like five thirty in the morning,
five o'clock in the morning. I used to be at
ten o'clock in the morning. I actually do this morning
DeVos when everybody was already up, people were already at
work and all that stuff. And I was like, nah,
let's not I don't think about That's what the Lord
(18:54):
was telling me. I think he was telling me, first
thing in the day, put me first. So that's why
I start these morning devots so early. Amen. I thank
God for that, for his power, for his encouragement, for
his word, and I could testify of his goodness. So
if he's good, I could do good. Amen. Good morning, Joyce,
I see you, sister Joyce. God bless you. Good morning
to you and your family. Thank you for the blessings
(19:16):
over the group as well. Amen. It's good to see
my system and my friend. So Galatians six and nine.
That's what we were. The apostle pau inspired by Holy Spirit.
God is encouraging the church, encouraging you and encouraging me
right now and saying, don't get weary, keep on doing good.
People need to see the goodness of God working through you.
(19:38):
People see needs to see the goodness of God working
through a family, working through a church, working through church leaders,
working through the Body of Christ, because they're not going
to see the goodness in this world. The world has
this pseudo religious goodness right all the religions. They seem
to be like good people, but they don't trust in Jesus.
(20:00):
They trust in who they created to be Jesus. Amen.
So don't quit. We're almost there. Amen, Your promise is
on his way. The Word of God over your life
is going to be fulfilled. Imagine me giving up on
a promise from God like hours before that promise was
(20:22):
coming to pass. That would be horrible. That's why I
believe the world. The world looks at a Christian and
be like, yeah, you guys are hoping in some kind
of fantasy world or some kind of fantasy God because
they don't see immediate action. They don't see immediate response
from our God. Sometimes that's their perception because they're so
(20:42):
used to getting immediate answers from AI, immediate answers from Google, search,
from YouTube. They want immediate results. And there's people out
there that they say, listen, I'm not going to follow
your God unless he gives me x y Z. They
already have it all figured out. So when people say, yeah,
you believe in that God, I don't believe there's a god,
I always ask them so that means you have a
(21:02):
better way, and you figured it out right, you figured
it all out. You don't have any problems with issues
or any pain in your life. And they get real
quiet because we all share problems, we all share pain
in this life. And Jesus promised it. He said, in
this world you will have pain, trouble tribulation, but be
(21:23):
of good cheer, and he's talking to believers, he's talking
to his children. Be of good cheer because he's already
coming and taking care of this world system. Amen. Right,
he already came to this world already, and he knows
the system doesn't work, but he knows the Kingdom of
God is established, the Kingdom of God is powerful, the
Kingdom of God is united, the Kingdom of God is
spotless without blame, and he's coming back for his church
(21:46):
very soon. Amen. So don't give up so close. Don't
coast into the new year with the same discouragement from
last year. Man, that would be horrible. Don't have a
whole year of going to church services, maybe in the
community of believers, maybe doing outreaches, and then bring discouragement
into the next year. That's why at the end of
(22:10):
the year you hear so many messages and preachers and
evangelists and apostles and teachers, a man of prophets talking
and encouraging people to finish off strong because I know
what it is to do things for the Kingdom of God,
and seemingly nothing happens on the other end of that.
(22:30):
But I have to trust in God that he's working
out things that we don't see. I don't see, amen,
But he's working on it. Amen. Why because God is
faithful to his word. If God speaks a thing, it
is a thing. If God promises you something and promises
me something, it will come to pass. Just don't give
up on the promise. Don't give up on God. Finish
(22:51):
this year in prayer, Finish this year in gratitude, and
finish this year with expectation. What are you expecting from God?
I always expect what God expects. Amen. If I look
at his word and it's there, I'll leave it there
because God says, well, I'm going to do this in
your life, in your family's life, in your generation, to
(23:12):
the generation's next. Amen, I'm gonna trust God. It's his
word that's on the page, not my word that's on
the page. It's his word that's being on the spotlight,
not my word. Amen. So your strongest season, it would
be right now, and it could be coming close to
(23:32):
the end of the year. Walk in that current season,
walk in Christ's walking victory. And according to Galatians Chapter
six and nine, don't get tired of doing good because
at the right time, the proper time, you will reap
what you sold. Amen. Thank you so much. Galationis chapter six,
verse nine. That's where we camped out. Take the time
(23:52):
to read Relations, chapter six, the whole chapter. Thank you
so much for hanging out with me for this morning. DEVO.
God bless you all. God keep you all, and remember
always that God is good. Peace.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
