Thank you so much for coming through, Amen, and today

in your heart. When we warm let me warm up
to the things of the Lord. Right, when we warm
up to the things of God. Today's morning Devon calling
this one. Let letting go, letting go. Too many believers
are still chained, literally chained to yesterday's failures, regrets and
(00:51):
wounds right walking around wounded. And I understand there's different reasons.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Why we're wounded. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
A lot of things are going on on our hearts,
and a lot of things are going on our minds,
and things are just happening, and life keeps on happening.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Even though Jesus Christ already paid for all those failures,
regrets and wounds at the cross, we still tend to
walk wounded, or we still tend to hold on to
things that are holding on to us.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Amen. That's why I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Calling this one letting go, letting Go. We're gonna be
in Lamentations, chapter number three, verses twenty two and twenty three. Lamentations,
Chapter number three, verses twenty two and twenty three. That's
the old Testament. I know if you're like me, like lamentations.
I don't like study lamentations. But that's where the Lord
led me.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So that's where we're going 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.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's what we're here for. We're here to connect. Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
There's also a live chat at the website a celebrator networks,
So one is with his z do org on the
last stream page. Right under the last stream there's a
live chat there as well. Thank you for all the
people who have been coming through to live that someone
is with his z o org. Amen is one of
my things that I hope for that we can all
join there, Amen, and get.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Off the matrix once and for all.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But I know people like to be on social media
but my goal is for us to join us each
other on the platforms, either someone is with his z
O orgy or live that someone is with his z
do orgy because I sent something coming.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's gonna be some kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Something happening on social media when it comes to this
kind of content soon.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But God is good, God is faithful, and he's gonna
help us to let go of things that are holding
on to us. Amen. Let go today in the morning.
D But we're gonna pray first. After we pray, we'll
share this for like sixty seconds, and then on the
other side of those sixty seconds we'll come back and
we'll get right into it. If even if you're not
watching this live, so many people watch this on a
(03:03):
replay or when they have time, when they have a chance. Amen,
you can still share this out whether I'm live or not.
You could still make a comment, you can still ask questions,
you can still make a prayer request or anything along
those lines.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Amen. And as soon as we see it, will respond.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So Father, thank you, Lord God, that you give us
the power to let go, because what you did on
the cross already already helped us through, already helped us
to forgive, helped us to live a life in abundance,
helped us to go through the storms with you, Lo God.
Thank you, Lor God for your love, your grace, and
(03:37):
your mercy. Help us, Love God, to not hold on
to things that are holding onto us. I pray Love God,
that we would let go of the things of this world,
let go of the pain, let go of the wounds,
let go of the regrets, let go of the hurt
and affailures. And that the Love God, that as you
are making us hole in you, Low God, that you
will help us every step of the way. Surround us,
(03:59):
Low God, with people who are alive in Christ, surmound
this Lord God, people who love you and love us.
I pray, Lord God, that you will unite your body
continuously as one body, one faith, one church, and under
one God, Holy God, Righteous God, Loving God, the Lord Jesus.
I pray Father, that your son will continue to inspire
(04:22):
us to move forward in victory. Thank you, Holy Spirit
for reminding us of the Word of God in our
lives personally, corporately and individually. I pray Lord God that
you will continue to guard God and protect us. Thank
you for your health to our body, strength to our bones.
I pray, Lord God, I head your protection over every
single person that's joining, every single person that's listening, every
(04:43):
single person in my family, and every single person and
your family on the other side of the screen and
on the other side of this mic.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I pray.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's by faith, knowing that Lord God is by your power,
by your love, by your grace, by your mercy, that
you help us to let go of things that are
holding us down. And Jesus Holy Name, my prayer is
by faith. And all those who agree with the prayer,
we say amen to the Amen. Sister Joanne, I see you.
Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo.
My sister and my friend help me sure this out
(05:10):
sixty seconds. When we come back, We'll get right into
today's Morning Devo.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'll be right back. M Amen, we're back. We're back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Thank you so much again. We're almost there. At the
time of this recording, we are days away from the
end of this year, going into a new year. That's
why I've been thinking about ways that we could start
off the new year fresh. I saw our comment online
that said, that's not about finishing strong, It's about finishing
finishing rested.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I like that too, Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm believe it's finished strong, but there is a time
of rest too that you should finish rested as well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So I agree with that as well. Amen. So that
was a good way.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's a good way also, And in the year rested
knowing that God is with you and that rest that
you get from the Lord, Amen is like no other rest,
No the rest that.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You could even imagine or think of. Amen.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The power of God is amazing, the love of God's
grace of God. I really won't ever understand the grace
of God. It is so amazing, Amen. It's so amazing,
the grace of God over our lives, in our lives
and through our lives. So we have to be patient
with one another and show that we love one another, Amen, genuinely.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
No artificial love, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I always tell people there's a difference between people who
go to church and people who are really followers.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There's a church people and Christian followers are different, Amen.
And you could tell people believe in God, but a
lot of people don't follow God.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
People believe in Jesus, but not a lot of a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Of people follow Jesus, Amen, Because if it was just
about believing, Amen, then we would be like the demons
and the devil. They believe in Jesus right, but they
don't follow. So let's be followers of who we believe in.
And that way we could let go all of those
things that are holding onto us. We could let go
all of those things that are dragons down. We could
(08:21):
let go of things that are not necessary for us
to keep on holding onto.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So letting go today in the morning Deva. Let me
get this on the screen For those who are watching, Amen.
For those who are just listening, no worry, no problem.
I'm going to read this word for word, Amen, as
we go through today's morning Devo.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Amen. Again, this one is called letting go.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We're going to be in Lamentations chapter number three, Versus
twenty two and twenty three. This is from the amplified
version of the Bible. Ready, it is because of the
Lord's loving kindness that we are not consumed. Why because
his tender compassions.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Never fail, never fail.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You could also see that in Malachi chapter three, verse
number six, they are new, what are new? What's new
every morning? Well, his compassion is new every morning. His
mercy is new every morning. His faithfulness is new every morning.
Great and beyond measure is your faithfulness. You could also
(09:26):
see this in the prophet Isaiah's book, verse number thirty,
chapter number thirty three, Verse number two. So it's because
of the Lord, because of his kindness. It's because of
his kindness, loving kindness, that we are not consumed with
the things of this world, that we are not consumed
by regret failure, that we're not consumed by the power
(09:48):
and prince of the air of this world. It's by
the Lord's loving kindness. Because of the Lord, we could
live today in victory. Because of the Lord, we could
have compassion for one another. Because of the Lord, we
have mercy, we have grace. Because of the Lord, we
can be made new every morning. Right, God's faithfulness is
(10:12):
great and beyond measure. God is good. It's not just
a saying in my life. I don't know about you,
but when I say God is good, I really I
really mean that God is good.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
There's no one like our Lord, no nobody since joys.
Good morning, God, bless you, Praise the Lord. Blessings to
you and your family as well, and thank you for
the blessings in the group and for the group, my sister,
my friend. So too many believers, like I said earlier,
are living chained. So yesterday's the other day I wrote,
(10:46):
today is yesterday's tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Right time is going by us. We can't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I look at the calendar and I'm like, Okay, I
didn't do all the things that plan to do this year,
but I have no regrets of what I was allowed
to do according to God's grace, mercy and mercy in
my life.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Although I can't do everything, but God can. Although I
don't accomplish everything, God can. Amen, through you and through me,
God could do a work that seemed to be impossible
in the beginning of our calendar year. But it's very
possible when we just put our whole faith and trust
in Him. Sister Joana says, Yes, God is good. A
(11:30):
lot of people don't realize that. We pray when we eat,
and we pray when we.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Get up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We tell the Lord, thank you Lord for another day
you give us. He is good, Yes, he is. He's
faithful too. Amen, He's faithful too. Thank you Lord.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Maria Rosario, God bless you. Welcome to the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Devo. Amen, and that's fran Celia. Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Thank you so much for coming through my system, my friends.
So man, oh man, so many stories I could say
about this letting go process Amen in my life personally,
but let's get to some notes so that way maybe
we can help each other out. And Man, we hold on,
or I should say I hold on. I can't speak
(12:13):
for everybody. I used to hold on, used to passen
to a whole lot of stuff that don't do me
any good holding on to in the first place. Right
when God saved me, Amen, I was delivered, sign sealed,
and delivered right then and there. Some people are evolutionary
theists or evolutionary Christians. They have this evolutionary salvation idea.
(12:38):
They think that we gradually are delivered, that we're gradually saved,
that we're gradually made new.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I believe the opposite.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I believe as soon as I was born again, I
didn't understand everything. I still don't understand everything, but I
believe at the time that the Lord rescued me, saved me,
covered me with his blood, right cleansed me from all
on righteousness and wickedness. I believe right then, in their
holy spirit, God was resonant in my heart and in
my life, and I was delivered science there to delivered.
Only thing that was in the way was me and
(13:09):
my flesh. Everything else is a done deal.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Remember there's a finished work of the Lord that says
that we are already seated in heavenly places, that we
already made.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Perfect and pure.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But the applied work what we're going through now, the
application of God's work, Amen, The application of God's finished
work is what we're living in right now or benefiting.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Off of what Jesus did. Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So if you really think about it, clearly you are
and I am who God says we are. We have
gone through what God allowed us to go through because
we were made righteous, we were made whole, we were
made new, we were made born again.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
We have a second chance, third chance, fourth chance, and
the God's grace next level. That's why it's hard for
me to hold the grudge right now. It's hard to
me to not forgive people. It's hard for me to
just abandon people. It's hard for me to hurt people's
heart because I know that God his grace in my
life is next level. A man to who am I
(14:10):
to start pointing fingers and judging everybody. Right, the judgment
and the vengeance of it belongs to the Lord.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, if you're going around, let's not get it twisted.
If you're going around saying, oh, I'm a Christian, I'm this,
that and third, and everybody sees you in fornication, adultery,
loose living, file language and all that stuff, you should
be judged and you should be checked in love.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So you could be corrected and come back to the
fold and come back to your sanity. Right like the
productal Son, he came to his senses, the Bible says,
and he went back to the Father. Sometimes we have
to help each other get back to the right path.
The world throws all this trickery, the enemy, the lust
(14:54):
of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life.
All that is throwing trickery into our hearts, into our
minds at our hearts, not in our hearts, because when
you're born again, in our hearts is the desire of God.
His heart is in our heart. Now He's made us
a new heart, in a new mind.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So we live and go forward. So a new year,
it's not going to change. Really, the calendar, the new
Year doesn't change you. What changes is the calendar. If
you think about it, it's an invitation from God to
walk free from what once held us back. God is saying,
come here, come up higher. Amen, Stop letting those same old,
(15:35):
same old things hold you down. When God wants to
lift us up. He wants to encourage us, He wants
us to advance us, he wants to promote us. He
wants to do things that the world says that that
person could never get, that this person could never get.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That woman of God, that man of God.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Right, people are always trying to hold you down, especially
when they're not at the place where they would want
to be full of that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I know you see it. I see it too. You know.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Haters are gonna hate regardless. But God doesn't hate us.
He loves us, and he wants to lift us up
and encourage us. So don't step into the new year
with your old regrets, your old failures, or your old wounds.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Now, when it comes to being hurt and betrayed and wounded,
I understand that's a process and you can't just like
you can by God's grace and God's mercy, by God's holiness,
by God's forgiveness, you can walk free from that. But
I understand if you're like me. I think a lot
and I process a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Easy for me, Amen, could be easy for you. But
with God, all things are possible. So can't step fully
into what God has prepared if your hands are still
gripping yesterday. If God wants you to walk into your
tomorrow and we're still holding on to what we have yesterday,
the failures and the pain and the regrets, Amen, it's
(16:57):
going to be a struggle for us and not Forgod.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Goad ain't struggling. We struggle. Amen.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So the past may have shaped you. God could use
those things that you went through, and that what I
went through, Amen, to shape us and mold us to
who we are today.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But it's not your assignment for a new season.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Old wine bags are not good enough to hold new wine.
So old wineskins are not good enough to hold new wine.
It's gonna burst, it's gonna break, the same thing in life.
If we're holding on to the things of our past
and trying to drag it into the new year. If
it ain't good, it ain't God. So let it go, Amen,
(17:40):
Let it go. That's my encouragement to myself. That's my
encouragement to you.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Isaiah chapter forty three, eighteen and nineteen says, forget the
former things. Do not dwell on the past. See I
am doing a new thing. Say it, says the Lord.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The enemy wants you to replay and remind and replay
and remind old failures like he wants you to live
like man. This whole year, I could have did this,
I should have did this, I should have said that,
I should have not did this.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He wants you to repeat.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That and replay that in your mind, trying to convince
you and me that we haven't advanced, trying to convince
us that we haven't done anything right, trying to convince
us that not even God could make things right in
our lives.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And that's a lie. He's a liar. The devil is
a liar. Amen.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He wants you to replay old failures. But God wants
you to recognize the new mercies.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
God wants you to recognize his faithfulness. God wants you
to recognize his compassion for you and for me. God
wants us to recognize who we are in him. God
wants us to recognize of how we get past the
things that we are going through. It's through God's loving
kindness and his truth and his faithfulness and his love
and his grace and his mercy. So every new year,
(18:59):
at least, like when I see a new year coming
in the calendar, I'm not gonna lie. I do look
at the past here and say, what happened? You know
some you know, some ups and some down, some valleys,
some mountaintop experiences, Amen, some relational issues, some financial issues. Yeah,
life happened. That's what happened when I look at my calendar.
(19:20):
But I always see God working all through it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I can't deny God's hand on my life. You shouldn't
deny God's hand on your life, Amen, and in your life,
working things out for good for those who love Him
and are called according to His purpose and planned. So
every new year begins with grace. That grace is already
waiting for you on the other side of the day,
(19:45):
on the other side of the calendar, Amen, on the
other side when the new year hits, Amen, Grace is
already there waiting for you. Jehovah Shama. God is there already.
God is here, already waiting for us.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Amen. Because God doesn't look at our.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Calendar and abide to those twenty four hour rules. God
is an eternal god. He sits outside of time. He's
waiting for us, Amen to go to him.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The year.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Right, the year doesn't really dictate hour tomorrow like yesterday.
You know it's gone right. I mean, we can't even
hold on to a calendar day. As soon as we
open our eyes and the Lord woke us up, Amen,
we realize this morning it's a new day, new mercies.
(20:38):
God's plan is still here, it's still working. God is
still alive. We're still alive, and God's promises are still
all Yes and amen, Amen, Even in my worst worst times.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
In life, the next day comes, Praise the Lord. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And even if the next day comes and I'm not
on this side of eternity, if I'm in Christ, and
if you're in Christ, and we are in Christ, when
we leave this earth, amen, we don't literally die. We
just literally change places.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We're transformed, were redeemed, right, we're made new, we're new
creatures in Christ. So this year, don't carry last year's guilt.
This new year, don't go with it with last year's mentality,
last year's guilt. Carry the things that God wants you
to carry into the new year, and let go of
(21:32):
the things that God doesn't want you to carry into
the new year. Shame, disappointment. Don't bring those things into
your future. Leave those things where they were, Leave those
things where they are in the past. Amen, you did
something shameful right, maybe yesterday, maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I guarantee you, God bless you past the Michael Jakes's
could seeing the money devote my brother and my friend.
I guarantee you those things that you did in the past,
you can't physically go back and pick them back up.
I'm telling you, I guarantee it. And man, it's gone.
If it was a bad thought, it was bad energy.
If it was the moonic oppression, the next day came.
(22:12):
That means the newness of your life and the faithfulness
of God, His loving kindness, his compassion, his mercies, his
grace is there waiting for you. It's a new day,
it's a new start. Every day is a new day.
Think about it if you want to think about it.
According to our calendar, okay, twenty four hours in a day,
(22:34):
What did you do in twenty four hours. Well, we
have to rest. I know theice people that are younger
that think they could go all night and all day
without getting any sleep. That's only because you're young. You
can just realize real soon that your body is gonna
tell you okay, it's time to shut down, and you
don't want to get to that place where you're doing
(22:55):
something your body tells you shut down. We need rest physically,
we need rest spiritually. Rest is supernatural. When we're resting
in Christ, we are actually in the best place of rejuvenation,
the best place of the resurrection of life, the best
place of letting things go that are holding us down.
(23:15):
Don't surround yourself with people who are zapping your energy.
They lack energy vampires. Surround yourself with people who are
alive in Christ, who love you, who love the Lord
most importantly than love people a man, and watch how
they move and follow suit. Those who follow Christ are
worth following. Those who believe God but don't follow Christ,
(23:36):
we need to help them. Sometimes they can help us
if they have the Word of Life speaking through them.
Of course they can help, and we can help one another.
But don't call yourself a believing Christian if you're not
a believing Christian who follows who you believe, which is.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Let go of religion and hold on to the Lord
Jesus Christ and relationship with him. When the clock strikes
midnight that day that's coming soon. Amen, from the time
it is recording, we're heading into a new year. When
that clock strikes midnight, Heaven is not counting your failures. Right,
(24:17):
Heaven is calling you forward.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Can you imagine? And you get to the other side
of the new year clock and we see the spirit
of the Lord counting. Okay, you failed. You know last month,
you didn't do this. What kind of new happy new
year would that be? It wouldn't be too happy, right.
But God gives us joy beyond happiness. God gives us
joy beyond measure. He gives us grace beyond measure. Why
(24:45):
because his faith, faithfulness and loving kindness. We read it before,
it's because of the Lord's loving kindness that we are
not consumed by the things of this world, by the
things that are holding on to us. We need to
learn how to let go. And the power of letting
go is so powerful. I believe it's a supernatural process
that God allows us to go through the process of
(25:07):
letting go.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So lastly, letting go is your faith declaration for the
new year. Right, you can say, God, I trust you
with my future more than my past. That could be
a declaration, Amen, the starting of a new declaration for
the new year, for the next life. I hope you're encouragement.
Amount of time.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I gotta go. But God is.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Faithful in all his ways, and He's good in all
his ways. So recognize who you are in Christ. So
that way, when you look at your fears, your regrets,
you're paining, the wounds, the betraying, all that stuff that
hit you this year, Amen, realize that God has been
with you every step of the way and carried you
through to this point. So we might as well move forward.
We can't pick anything up from the past. We should
(25:50):
let those things go. Amen. By the ivy and I
see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
the morning. Devo, my bro, my friend. It's good to
see you in the morning. Devau amount of time. My
brothers and sisters, we were Lamentations, chapter number.

in your heart. When we warm let me warm up
to the things of the Lord. Right, when we warm
up to the things of God. Today's morning Devon calling
this one. Let letting go, letting go. Too many believers
are still chained, literally chained to yesterday's failures, regrets and
(00:51):
wounds right walking around wounded. And I understand there's different reasons.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Why we're wounded. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
A lot of things are going on on our hearts,
and a lot of things are going on our minds,
and things are just happening, and life keeps on happening.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Even though Jesus Christ already paid for all those failures,
regrets and wounds at the cross, we still tend to
walk wounded, or we still tend to hold on to
things that are holding on to us.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Amen. That's why I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Calling this one letting go, letting Go. We're gonna be
in Lamentations, chapter number three, verses twenty two and twenty three. Lamentations,
Chapter number three, verses twenty two and twenty three. That's
the old Testament. I know if you're like me, like lamentations.
I don't like study lamentations. But that's where the Lord
led me.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So that's where we're going 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.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's what we're here for. We're here to connect. Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
There's also a live chat at the website a celebrator networks,
So one is with his z do org on the
last stream page. Right under the last stream there's a
live chat there as well. Thank you for all the
people who have been coming through to live that someone
is with his z o org. Amen is one of
my things that I hope for that we can all
join there, Amen, and get.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Off the matrix once and for all.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But I know people like to be on social media
but my goal is for us to join us each
other on the platforms, either someone is with his z
O orgy or live that someone is with his z
do orgy because I sent something coming.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's gonna be some kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Something happening on social media when it comes to this
kind of content soon.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But God is good, God is faithful, and he's gonna
help us to let go of things that are holding
on to us. Amen. Let go today in the morning.
D But we're gonna pray first. After we pray, we'll
share this for like sixty seconds, and then on the
other side of those sixty seconds we'll come back and
we'll get right into it. If even if you're not
watching this live, so many people watch this on a
(03:03):
replay or when they have time, when they have a chance. Amen,
you can still share this out whether I'm live or not.
You could still make a comment, you can still ask questions,
you can still make a prayer request or anything along
those lines.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Amen. And as soon as we see it, will respond.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So Father, thank you, Lord God, that you give us
the power to let go, because what you did on
the cross already already helped us through, already helped us
to forgive, helped us to live a life in abundance,
helped us to go through the storms with you, Lo God.
Thank you, Lor God for your love, your grace, and
(03:37):
your mercy. Help us, Love God, to not hold on
to things that are holding onto us. I pray Love God,
that we would let go of the things of this world,
let go of the pain, let go of the wounds,
let go of the regrets, let go of the hurt
and affailures. And that the Love God, that as you
are making us hole in you, Low God, that you
will help us every step of the way. Surround us,
(03:59):
Low God, with people who are alive in Christ, surmound
this Lord God, people who love you and love us.
I pray, Lord God, that you will unite your body
continuously as one body, one faith, one church, and under
one God, Holy God, Righteous God, Loving God, the Lord Jesus.
I pray Father, that your son will continue to inspire
(04:22):
us to move forward in victory. Thank you, Holy Spirit
for reminding us of the Word of God in our
lives personally, corporately and individually. I pray Lord God that
you will continue to guard God and protect us. Thank
you for your health to our body, strength to our bones.
I pray, Lord God, I head your protection over every
single person that's joining, every single person that's listening, every
(04:43):
single person in my family, and every single person and
your family on the other side of the screen and
on the other side of this mic.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I pray.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's by faith, knowing that Lord God is by your power,
by your love, by your grace, by your mercy, that
you help us to let go of things that are
holding us down. And Jesus Holy Name, my prayer is
by faith. And all those who agree with the prayer,
we say amen to the Amen. Sister Joanne, I see you.
Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo.
My sister and my friend help me sure this out
(05:10):
sixty seconds. When we come back, We'll get right into
today's Morning Devo.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'll be right back. M Amen, we're back. We're back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Thank you so much again. We're almost there. At the
time of this recording, we are days away from the
end of this year, going into a new year. That's
why I've been thinking about ways that we could start
off the new year fresh. I saw our comment online
that said, that's not about finishing strong, It's about finishing
finishing rested.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I like that too, Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm believe it's finished strong, but there is a time
of rest too that you should finish rested as well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So I agree with that as well. Amen. So that
was a good way.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's a good way also, And in the year rested
knowing that God is with you and that rest that
you get from the Lord, Amen is like no other rest,
No the rest that.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You could even imagine or think of. Amen.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The power of God is amazing, the love of God's
grace of God. I really won't ever understand the grace
of God. It is so amazing, Amen. It's so amazing,
the grace of God over our lives, in our lives
and through our lives. So we have to be patient
with one another and show that we love one another, Amen, genuinely.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
No artificial love, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I always tell people there's a difference between people who
go to church and people who are really followers.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There's a church people and Christian followers are different, Amen.
And you could tell people believe in God, but a
lot of people don't follow God.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
People believe in Jesus, but not a lot of a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Of people follow Jesus, Amen, Because if it was just
about believing, Amen, then we would be like the demons
and the devil. They believe in Jesus right, but they
don't follow. So let's be followers of who we believe in.
And that way we could let go all of those
things that are holding onto us. We could let go
all of those things that are dragons down. We could
(08:21):
let go of things that are not necessary for us
to keep on holding onto.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So letting go today in the morning Deva. Let me
get this on the screen For those who are watching, Amen.
For those who are just listening, no worry, no problem.
I'm going to read this word for word, Amen, as
we go through today's morning Devo.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Amen. Again, this one is called letting go.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We're going to be in Lamentations chapter number three, Versus
twenty two and twenty three. This is from the amplified
version of the Bible. Ready, it is because of the
Lord's loving kindness that we are not consumed. Why because
his tender compassions.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Never fail, never fail.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You could also see that in Malachi chapter three, verse
number six, they are new, what are new? What's new
every morning? Well, his compassion is new every morning. His
mercy is new every morning. His faithfulness is new every morning.
Great and beyond measure is your faithfulness. You could also
(09:26):
see this in the prophet Isaiah's book, verse number thirty,
chapter number thirty three, Verse number two. So it's because
of the Lord, because of his kindness. It's because of
his kindness, loving kindness, that we are not consumed with
the things of this world, that we are not consumed
by regret failure, that we're not consumed by the power
(09:48):
and prince of the air of this world. It's by
the Lord's loving kindness. Because of the Lord, we could
live today in victory. Because of the Lord, we could
have compassion for one another. Because of the Lord, we
have mercy, we have grace. Because of the Lord, we
can be made new every morning. Right, God's faithfulness is
(10:12):
great and beyond measure. God is good. It's not just
a saying in my life. I don't know about you,
but when I say God is good, I really I
really mean that God is good.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
There's no one like our Lord, no nobody since joys.
Good morning, God, bless you, Praise the Lord. Blessings to
you and your family as well, and thank you for
the blessings in the group and for the group, my sister,
my friend. So too many believers, like I said earlier,
are living chained. So yesterday's the other day I wrote,
(10:46):
today is yesterday's tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Right time is going by us. We can't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I look at the calendar and I'm like, Okay, I
didn't do all the things that plan to do this year,
but I have no regrets of what I was allowed
to do according to God's grace, mercy and mercy in
my life.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Although I can't do everything, but God can. Although I
don't accomplish everything, God can. Amen, through you and through me,
God could do a work that seemed to be impossible
in the beginning of our calendar year. But it's very
possible when we just put our whole faith and trust
in Him. Sister Joana says, Yes, God is good. A
(11:30):
lot of people don't realize that. We pray when we eat,
and we pray when we.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Get up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We tell the Lord, thank you Lord for another day
you give us. He is good, Yes, he is. He's
faithful too. Amen, He's faithful too. Thank you Lord.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Maria Rosario, God bless you. Welcome to the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Devo. Amen, and that's fran Celia. Amen.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Thank you so much for coming through my system, my friends.
So man, oh man, so many stories I could say
about this letting go process Amen in my life personally,
but let's get to some notes so that way maybe
we can help each other out. And Man, we hold on,
or I should say I hold on. I can't speak
(12:13):
for everybody. I used to hold on, used to passen
to a whole lot of stuff that don't do me
any good holding on to in the first place. Right
when God saved me, Amen, I was delivered, sign sealed,
and delivered right then and there. Some people are evolutionary
theists or evolutionary Christians. They have this evolutionary salvation idea.
(12:38):
They think that we gradually are delivered, that we're gradually saved,
that we're gradually made new.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I believe the opposite.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I believe as soon as I was born again, I
didn't understand everything. I still don't understand everything, but I
believe at the time that the Lord rescued me, saved me,
covered me with his blood, right cleansed me from all
on righteousness and wickedness. I believe right then, in their
holy spirit, God was resonant in my heart and in
my life, and I was delivered science there to delivered.
Only thing that was in the way was me and
(13:09):
my flesh. Everything else is a done deal.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Remember there's a finished work of the Lord that says
that we are already seated in heavenly places, that we
already made.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Perfect and pure.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But the applied work what we're going through now, the
application of God's work, Amen, The application of God's finished
work is what we're living in right now or benefiting.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Off of what Jesus did. Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So if you really think about it, clearly you are
and I am who God says we are. We have
gone through what God allowed us to go through because
we were made righteous, we were made whole, we were
made new, we were made born again.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
We have a second chance, third chance, fourth chance, and
the God's grace next level. That's why it's hard for
me to hold the grudge right now. It's hard to
me to not forgive people. It's hard for me to
just abandon people. It's hard for me to hurt people's
heart because I know that God his grace in my
life is next level. A man to who am I
(14:10):
to start pointing fingers and judging everybody. Right, the judgment
and the vengeance of it belongs to the Lord.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, if you're going around, let's not get it twisted.
If you're going around saying, oh, I'm a Christian, I'm this,
that and third, and everybody sees you in fornication, adultery,
loose living, file language and all that stuff, you should
be judged and you should be checked in love.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So you could be corrected and come back to the
fold and come back to your sanity. Right like the
productal Son, he came to his senses, the Bible says,
and he went back to the Father. Sometimes we have
to help each other get back to the right path.
The world throws all this trickery, the enemy, the lust
(14:54):
of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life.
All that is throwing trickery into our hearts, into our
minds at our hearts, not in our hearts, because when
you're born again, in our hearts is the desire of God.
His heart is in our heart. Now He's made us
a new heart, in a new mind.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So we live and go forward. So a new year,
it's not going to change. Really, the calendar, the new
Year doesn't change you. What changes is the calendar. If
you think about it, it's an invitation from God to
walk free from what once held us back. God is saying,
come here, come up higher. Amen, Stop letting those same old,
(15:35):
same old things hold you down. When God wants to
lift us up. He wants to encourage us, He wants
us to advance us, he wants to promote us. He
wants to do things that the world says that that
person could never get, that this person could never get.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That woman of God, that man of God.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Right, people are always trying to hold you down, especially
when they're not at the place where they would want
to be full of that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I know you see it. I see it too. You know.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Haters are gonna hate regardless. But God doesn't hate us.
He loves us, and he wants to lift us up
and encourage us. So don't step into the new year
with your old regrets, your old failures, or your old wounds.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Now, when it comes to being hurt and betrayed and wounded,
I understand that's a process and you can't just like
you can by God's grace and God's mercy, by God's holiness,
by God's forgiveness, you can walk free from that. But
I understand if you're like me. I think a lot
and I process a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Easy for me, Amen, could be easy for you. But
with God, all things are possible. So can't step fully
into what God has prepared if your hands are still
gripping yesterday. If God wants you to walk into your
tomorrow and we're still holding on to what we have yesterday,
the failures and the pain and the regrets, Amen, it's
(16:57):
going to be a struggle for us and not Forgod.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Goad ain't struggling. We struggle. Amen.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So the past may have shaped you. God could use
those things that you went through, and that what I
went through, Amen, to shape us and mold us to
who we are today.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But it's not your assignment for a new season.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Old wine bags are not good enough to hold new wine.
So old wineskins are not good enough to hold new wine.
It's gonna burst, it's gonna break, the same thing in life.
If we're holding on to the things of our past
and trying to drag it into the new year. If
it ain't good, it ain't God. So let it go, Amen,
(17:40):
Let it go. That's my encouragement to myself. That's my
encouragement to you.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Isaiah chapter forty three, eighteen and nineteen says, forget the
former things. Do not dwell on the past. See I
am doing a new thing. Say it, says the Lord.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The enemy wants you to replay and remind and replay
and remind old failures like he wants you to live
like man. This whole year, I could have did this,
I should have did this, I should have said that,
I should have not did this.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He wants you to repeat.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That and replay that in your mind, trying to convince
you and me that we haven't advanced, trying to convince
us that we haven't done anything right, trying to convince
us that not even God could make things right in
our lives.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And that's a lie. He's a liar. The devil is
a liar. Amen.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He wants you to replay old failures. But God wants
you to recognize the new mercies.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
God wants you to recognize his faithfulness. God wants you
to recognize his compassion for you and for me. God
wants us to recognize who we are in him. God
wants us to recognize of how we get past the
things that we are going through. It's through God's loving
kindness and his truth and his faithfulness and his love
and his grace and his mercy. So every new year,
(18:59):
at least, like when I see a new year coming
in the calendar, I'm not gonna lie. I do look
at the past here and say, what happened? You know
some you know, some ups and some down, some valleys,
some mountaintop experiences, Amen, some relational issues, some financial issues. Yeah,
life happened. That's what happened when I look at my calendar.
(19:20):
But I always see God working all through it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I can't deny God's hand on my life. You shouldn't
deny God's hand on your life, Amen, and in your life,
working things out for good for those who love Him
and are called according to His purpose and planned. So
every new year begins with grace. That grace is already
waiting for you on the other side of the day,
(19:45):
on the other side of the calendar, Amen, on the
other side when the new year hits, Amen, Grace is
already there waiting for you. Jehovah Shama. God is there already.
God is here, already waiting for us.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Amen. Because God doesn't look at our.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Calendar and abide to those twenty four hour rules. God
is an eternal god. He sits outside of time. He's
waiting for us, Amen to go to him.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The year.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Right, the year doesn't really dictate hour tomorrow like yesterday.
You know it's gone right. I mean, we can't even
hold on to a calendar day. As soon as we
open our eyes and the Lord woke us up, Amen,
we realize this morning it's a new day, new mercies.
(20:38):
God's plan is still here, it's still working. God is
still alive. We're still alive, and God's promises are still
all Yes and amen, Amen, Even in my worst worst times.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
In life, the next day comes, Praise the Lord. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And even if the next day comes and I'm not
on this side of eternity, if I'm in Christ, and
if you're in Christ, and we are in Christ, when
we leave this earth, amen, we don't literally die. We
just literally change places.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We're transformed, were redeemed, right, we're made new, we're new
creatures in Christ. So this year, don't carry last year's guilt.
This new year, don't go with it with last year's mentality,
last year's guilt. Carry the things that God wants you
to carry into the new year, and let go of
(21:32):
the things that God doesn't want you to carry into
the new year. Shame, disappointment. Don't bring those things into
your future. Leave those things where they were, Leave those
things where they are in the past. Amen, you did
something shameful right, maybe yesterday, maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I guarantee you, God bless you past the Michael Jakes's
could seeing the money devote my brother and my friend.
I guarantee you those things that you did in the past,
you can't physically go back and pick them back up.
I'm telling you, I guarantee it. And man, it's gone.
If it was a bad thought, it was bad energy.
If it was the moonic oppression, the next day came.
(22:12):
That means the newness of your life and the faithfulness
of God, His loving kindness, his compassion, his mercies, his
grace is there waiting for you. It's a new day,
it's a new start. Every day is a new day.
Think about it if you want to think about it.
According to our calendar, okay, twenty four hours in a day,
(22:34):
What did you do in twenty four hours. Well, we
have to rest. I know theice people that are younger
that think they could go all night and all day
without getting any sleep. That's only because you're young. You
can just realize real soon that your body is gonna
tell you okay, it's time to shut down, and you
don't want to get to that place where you're doing
(22:55):
something your body tells you shut down. We need rest physically,
we need rest spiritually. Rest is supernatural. When we're resting
in Christ, we are actually in the best place of rejuvenation,
the best place of the resurrection of life, the best
place of letting things go that are holding us down.
(23:15):
Don't surround yourself with people who are zapping your energy.
They lack energy vampires. Surround yourself with people who are
alive in Christ, who love you, who love the Lord
most importantly than love people a man, and watch how
they move and follow suit. Those who follow Christ are
worth following. Those who believe God but don't follow Christ,
(23:36):
we need to help them. Sometimes they can help us
if they have the Word of Life speaking through them.
Of course they can help, and we can help one another.
But don't call yourself a believing Christian if you're not
a believing Christian who follows who you believe, which is.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Let go of religion and hold on to the Lord
Jesus Christ and relationship with him. When the clock strikes
midnight that day that's coming soon. Amen, from the time
it is recording, we're heading into a new year. When
that clock strikes midnight, Heaven is not counting your failures. Right,
(24:17):
Heaven is calling you forward.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Can you imagine? And you get to the other side
of the new year clock and we see the spirit
of the Lord counting. Okay, you failed. You know last month,
you didn't do this. What kind of new happy new
year would that be? It wouldn't be too happy, right.
But God gives us joy beyond happiness. God gives us
joy beyond measure. He gives us grace beyond measure. Why
(24:45):
because his faith, faithfulness and loving kindness. We read it before,
it's because of the Lord's loving kindness that we are
not consumed by the things of this world, by the
things that are holding on to us. We need to
learn how to let go. And the power of letting
go is so powerful. I believe it's a supernatural process
that God allows us to go through the process of
(25:07):
letting go.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So lastly, letting go is your faith declaration for the
new year. Right, you can say, God, I trust you
with my future more than my past. That could be
a declaration, Amen, the starting of a new declaration for
the new year, for the next life. I hope you're encouragement.
Amount of time.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I gotta go. But God is.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Faithful in all his ways, and He's good in all
his ways. So recognize who you are in Christ. So
that way, when you look at your fears, your regrets,
you're paining, the wounds, the betraying, all that stuff that
hit you this year, Amen, realize that God has been
with you every step of the way and carried you
through to this point. So we might as well move forward.
We can't pick anything up from the past. We should
(25:50):
let those things go. Amen. By the ivy and I
see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back to
the morning. Devo, my bro, my friend. It's good to
see you in the morning. Devau amount of time. My
brothers and sisters, we were Lamentations, chapter number.

Chapter three, So God bless you all, God keep you all,
or remember always that God is good.

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.
