Can we truly distinguish between our wants and our needs? Join us as we reflect on John 17:20-21 and explore the profound themes of unity, faith, and reliance on God. We dive into the interconnectedness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and how this divine unity should inspire and transform every facet of our lives. Through this lens, we discuss how to invite others into God's kingdom, not with judgment, but with love and active faith. This episode is all about recognizing our mission as sent and redeemed followers of Christ, ready to spread the message of divine love.

Moving into the heart of grace and redemption, we discuss how the glory bestowed by God is meant to be shared, fostering unity and communal well-being. We delve into the dynamics of receiving and giving, emphasizing that true blessings manifest when we extend God's love to others. Our conversation highlights seeing God in our relationships and daily interactions, and how biblical submissiveness and household roles, when guided by the Holy Spirit, can lead to joy and a harmonious life. This segment is a call to advance in faith and purpose, recognizing God's presence in everything and everyone.

Lastly, we confront the challenges of embodying spiritual ideals with insights from 1 Peter 5:9 and 1 Timothy 4:12. The struggle is real, but so is the call to set a positive example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, even amidst our trials. We acknowledge the shared suffering faced by believers globally and stress that our youth and righteousness should be seen as opportunities for growth. With a heartfelt prayer and updates on our recent achievements, including an exciting new venture in Mexico, we end with a reflective question: "Did you find your youth today?" Tune in for a journey of steadfast faith and divine connection.

Speaker 1:

I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, john 17, 20. Good morning. And what are we asking for one another? But is that the need, the want, the quantity of this world? I ratify it, right, I need something from you. No, there's a want and there's a need. How quickly are we to lead ourselves astray? We point the finger. No, I need something and I need it from you.

Speaker 1:

Well, I've forgotten completely about faith and the Holy Spirit. Yes, the enactment went inside. Are we not being pointed in the right direction? I shall not cast condemnation by pointing the finger, but asking and receiving in a sense of deliverance from him, from him up above. Yes, of course, for it is my Savior, my Creator, that I am seeking.

Speaker 1:

So let us not be reminded to be led astray, but think about the reliance on one another. Is a reliance not for love? And do we not rely on one another in the sense of God, in faith, within hope? Think about what I'm saying. No, I love you, excuse me. Very good, a direct reminder, real quick. The conscious acknowledgement of God, the Spirit, the eternal image. This is why we're brought together within love, within compassion, within interest in every way, shape and form, but also for those who will believe in me through their word. We hear it, we proclaim it, we testify it. So let's not point the finger, but let us be invited, invited into his kingdom. Let our direct reliance of wants and needs be an acceptance, acceptance of eternity, that we shall exist within this mindset. That they may all be one, just as you, father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me John 17, 21,. That they may all be one. The Father, son, the Holy Spirit be united in one. I think that involves every demographic, every genre, every aspect. It could be your intimate, personal, physical, professional, right. Every aspect be one within you. And it goes back to God. Father, the Creator are in me and I in you.

Speaker 1:

Do you remember what we talked about the other day as we were stumbling carelessly amongst the scripture? Yes, of course we were waiting for the light to be shined. We're waiting for communion, a little bit of body and blood. Good morning, that they may also be within us. So he can't deny you and we can't deny him. That's a great fact, isn't it? We can't be denied. It's not going to happen. So the world may believe that you have sent me.

Speaker 1:

Each and every one of us was sent. Did you know that? I am delivered? I am redeemed. I've gotten over the hump. I'm no longer crawling. I'm no longer sitting patiently and waiting for this gift of life to pass me by, uh-. Gift of life to pass me by. I'm outright delivered.

Speaker 1:

You know, I'm going to grab the book today, I'm going to walk right on out and I'm going to start preaching, I'm going to start talking so that the world may believe that you have sent me. Each and every one of us has sent. We've been delivered. We need to be redeemed. We actively walk within our faith, we proclaim it, we testify it. We are believers, believers of the Lord.

Speaker 1:

Grace restored, yes, of course, redeemed. What a very good restitution. As we continue to give back and give thanks the glory that you have given me. I have given to them that they may be one, even as we are one. John 17, 22. Direct reference Are we not there?

Speaker 1:

The glory? Here comes the happiness, the joy, the celebration, succession that you have given me. What is our succession, by the way? We celebrate life, we celebrate pro-life. We celebrate creation, we celebrate forgiveness and salvation, yes, incarnation. Through the blood. I am redeemed, I am saved, I am so quickly to be thankful and I have given to them. Think about that. It's been given to me and I have given it to them Because you know what, if, if Lord forgive me for one second, if it's only that it's been given to me and I'm not giving it to them, then it's not actually an act of God. So how do we make an act of God practical? A blessing, if you would.

Speaker 1:

How do we receive God's word? We're capable of receiving it because we're being delivered it. It's being delivered to us, we receive it. It becomes capable and competent when we're giving it to somebody else. It's not mine, no, no, no, it belongs to him. Somebody sees you. You're walking out in town square, you're looking to buy fresh produce, and they've got bread and it's fresh baked and everything smells so good and it looks good. Yes, of course, and you see it. And somebody says can I have some of what you have? And you say well, I'm sure that you could, but it's not mine, you see, it's his, it belongs to God. Yes, of course, and it's because of him that I am capable and I am able, but possibly, maybe, maybe, each and every one of us could reach deep down within our hearts, souls and minds and we'd be capable of offering, of giving what we've been given to somebody else so that they can be saved, so that they can be redeemed in each and every way. I shall not stumble and I shall not fall.

Speaker 1:

Within his mindset, the stumbling and the falling is no more than the acknowledgement of the need and the want. Notice, my needs and my wants aren't being fulfilled by creatures, and I know that's controversial, though, isn't it Within biblical submissiveness? What is biblical submissiveness? Authoritative edge within the world? What about spouses? Your spouses shall remain faithful. They shall know what your wants and needs are. It's biblical presence. Are you not capable, as being the husband, the head of the household, me and my house, we will serve who? The Lord, yes, of course To be capable of providing what your spouse or spouse's children's needs are? Are you not capable and competent? God gives you what you need. Same goes for the woman. Well, also the worth, my Lord, like rubies. Very good, think about what I'm saying. So our wants and needs can be fulfilled through one another when we involve the Holy Spirit, when we have faith, when we believe, when the enactment of God becomes practical.

Speaker 1:

So how many of our own personal relationships, personal and professional, the enactment is God. When we seek one another, we seek God in that relationship. Did you notice? If you seek God in that relationship, you're happy, you're going to have fulfillment, you're not going to be let down, you're not going to be discouraged, you're not going to stumble and you're not going to fall. You'll have fulfillment, you'll have joy, you'll have prosperity. Sure, a little bit of communion, Feed in the body, the blood, yes, of course, the bread. There's nothing wrong with that. Get your fix. God said that you can have an abundance of everything because of what he has given you. What have you been receiving? Now, after you get your fix, don't be afraid to go out there and get somebody else. Make sure they can get their fix. Continue to deliver it. Walk within that enactment.

Speaker 1:

So don't let us stumble, don't let us fall, continue to, let us advance in every way. And I like the mindset, by the way, my direct correlation to it, right, and there's a sense of it's intertwined within my DNA, it's in my blood, it's the reason that I'm breathing and I have breath within my lungs when now? Yes, of course. How do you know that you're a good spouse? How do you know that you're making the right decisions concerning your loved ones? Right? Your children, your biological children God's creation, that's not mine, god's creation, that's not mine, god's creation and your spouses, the ones that you've made commitment to, because I see God in them. And if you only look to see God in Christ and the Holy Spirit yes, substance, the Trinity and the ones that you love, you'll never be let down and you'll never be led astray in any way, shape or form. So let us continuously advance within that upward mission, that upward mission of having eternal purpose and meaning within our relationships, for we look to be created as we are one within Very good, I in them and you in me that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and love them, even as you loved me. Who me? Sometimes I hear that in the morning I feel like I'm being blessed John 17, 23. Who me? I and them, and you and me.

Speaker 1:

Now notice, now it goes to the congregation, the church, the body, the state we're advancing. What do we have common interest here? Well, the love. But God is love. Very good, so we have God that they may be perfectly one. It's harmonious balance. You see that it's perfectly one. There is no fall. There is no catalyst. The sin, the inequity, the death, the stuff that's bitten you, that's got you bitter, shunned, if you would, it doesn't exist. You're only capable of offering you God, of offering you love. How many of us are offering something else to somebody? I'm trying to turn the shoulder real quick. I mean walk away. I'm not mad at you, so that the world may know that you sent me Back to the sense of being delivered. No, it's me, excuse me Me. Love them, even as you loved me Because he loves you. Yeah, he loves you. Yeah, he loves you, and then you can love others. Isn't that special? I think that way. I think that way, father.

Speaker 1:

I desire that they also. Whom you have given me, maybe with me where I am to see my glory, that you have given me because you loved me. Before the foundation of the world, he already knew every decision you were going to make and he was already in approval of it. In fact, even when we were encountering the path to where he wasn't pleased with his creation anymore, his son. Beloved the world? Yes, of course. Died, yeah, for remission of our sins. Beloved the world? Yes, of course died, yeah, for remission of our sins. So I desire that they also.

Speaker 1:

And my own personal confession I was driving down to work and I was on my way to work and I'm sitting in the car and I'm going through trying times of the world. I'm being possessed by worldly affliction, if you would, of course, my direct reference is no more to God. And I said you know you don't understand, and I'm thinking out loud. I've never wanted more for myself, but in the same token, I want even more for everybody else. So, father, I desire that they also.

Speaker 1:

It's not just about me. I want them to understand, I want them to see it, to be capable of being receptive to the love, to the language. I want them to hear it like trumpets sounding from heaven. Proclaim it, yes, testify it, be receptive to it. Let it come, come within your heart, soul and mind. Whom have given me yes, they've been given to me and I'm given to them May be with me where I am.

Speaker 1:

What's the difference between given, given and taken? And there is no taken within scripture. There's no taken within the Trinity. It can't be. There's nothing we can take from them. I mean, we can try to play their roles, we can act like we know better than them themselves, but it doesn't really get us anywhere.

Speaker 1:

I don't know the notch in the hat, the feather in the belt. That was a little bit dyslexic, did you hear it? Sometimes we go backwards and we stumble and we fall and we get tripped up. But it is the advancement Now, when we fall and we get tripped up, but it is the advancement Now I have the notch and the belt and the feather and the hat and I'm going to go out the door that they may be with me where I am.

Speaker 1:

So, regardless of the season, the storm, the encounter, the relationship, the acquaintance, to see my glory, that you have given me, the glory, the succession, remember you are saved, you are redeemed, you are converted. You don't have anything to worry about because you love me before the foundation of the world and that's just it. We live in a world that God created. That's a tough one. We don't have all the answers, we're not sure why some things happen the way that they are, but we know, we can rest assured that we are saved, we are redeemed and that he is the creator, he is the redeemer. We even seek the good counsel, yes, the advocate himself. Some said the shepherd. He's guiding us, he's leading us. I'm not sure about sheep they got wool. It gets cold up here. Sometimes. I'm not quite sure.

Speaker 1:

Oh, righteous father, even though the world does not know you, I know you and these know that you have sent me John 17, 25, all righteous Father, also very righteous. Notice how the Father becomes righteous. What's our reference to? Righteous? The child, the child within us. We stumble, we fall, we stumble, we fall and we make mistakes in every way, shape and form. But we're capable of being redeemed, we're being saved. It's part of the maturity. You know, if you never get to discover Lord, then you've never failed, and if you've never been capable of praise, then you've never been capable of failing.

Speaker 1:

Think about what I'm saying. So it doesn't exist without the inequity. So, oh, righteous Father, isn't it great to acknowledge that your creator was righteous? He's made mistakes. Very good. It's not blameless, it's righteous within that. Does God have flaws? The answer would be yes, of course. Very, very good that the world does not know you, I know you, and that these know that you have sent me. So my intimate relationship with my creator, with my savior, with my redeemer, the relationship that I have.

Speaker 1:

Think about what I'm saying, god help me. It doesn't matter if you're accepted or denied by creature, your fellow brothers and sisters, do you know why? Because he knows you and you know him, and for that very reason, you could take it to a health aspect. You could take it to a health aspect. Very good examples here. By the way, god help me, there's nothing wrong with you, regardless of what, medically, the charts say, regardless of what somebody's diagnosed you with, regardless of what they're saying, because your health is an eternal image and you're going to be okay. You're going to make it through it. Remember, god and Christ are involved.

Speaker 1:

How about relationships? I made a commitment to you, excuse me. They shall not be together, not until they have formal commitment and we need to make sure that creature is capable of witnessing it. But it's not of God. He doesn't know you in this relationship because you're not invited in God, in Christ shall be the witness and we shall be together in person. Very good, so what very good examples.

Speaker 1:

Right, and of course, health and our own personal relationships are something that belong directly to God himself, christ and the Holy Spirit, the enactment being the embrace of life that we're embracing. We're capable of walking within that light and we bring it within every doorway. And when I say every doorway, when I open that door, god and Christ are with me. When I make that commitment, god and Christ are with me. When I make that commitment, god and Christ are with me. When I have the confession, god and Christ are with me. When I lay down at night, guess who's with me? The substance, the spirit, the Holy Trinity, yes, god and Christ are with me.

Speaker 1:

Very, very good, oh righteous, because he knows we're going to make mistakes. He's righteous within it by watching us make the mistakes. By the way, we're still forgiven. You have sent me a sense of deliverance. Come, come into my heart, soul and mind. I made known to them your name and I will continue to make it known that the love with which you have loved me may be in them and I in them, spreading the good news, the gospel, the joy. A little bit of nectar, fill your cup, if you would. I made known to them your name. I want to have you heard Heard of what Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior, salvation, blood. Have you heard the body. I must continue, and I will continue to make it known. It is our personal mission, it is our personal testament to be capable of advancing within that mindset that the love with which you have loved me may be in them and I in them.

Speaker 1:

It's really hard to confess that, though. Isn't it To advance within that? What he's given me I'm capable of giving to others? Most of us, we're not even worthy of salvation. We're not capable, we're not competent. It's impossible for us to play that role. And there's a difference. Is it segregation? You showed it's water and oil, and the two don't mix and the two don't blend. Yes, of course, but we need to focus in knowing that we can't be him. We're not capable, we're not able, and that's how life advances. It's not something that's going to happen in any way, shape or form. In any way, shape or form.

Speaker 1:

Resist him firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 1 Peter 5, 9. Why is the acknowledgement relevant in this particular phase, in this particular notion? Because resist him firm in your faith. So, if your Lord is righteous, you might receive a signal from the Holy Spirit. You might be tempted, you might be enticed. Resist him. Amazing. I thought we should accept him. Come into my heart, so mine, firm within your faith, because it's relevant to you, your faith, what you believe in, the path that was taken, the journey that was taken. Good old Barnabas, yeah, saint of the day. Amazing knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

Speaker 1:

I know it exists, I know I'm not the only one that's going through this. I know it's not coming down to being only on me. No, yes, of course it must be down on somebody else. But if we let the anxiety, the tremors, the terrors, if we let the inequities, the sins, the weathering of the storms get the best of us, then we're not resisting, are we? We're accepting, we're accepting the inequities. Notice, it's still a possession of God. Now I see God and Christ within this venue. You hit a crossroads. How many of us have hit a crossroads? You've heard it. You've heard churches. They've got the crossroad church. We've got the faith church. We've got the born again church. I'm turning over a new leaf. I've hit a crossroads. This is the way I'm going.

Speaker 1:

I always going to be somebody that God was teaching that the Christ himself, our Lord, was guiding or leading. So, faith within, believing within him, we've lost hope when it's about one another. Listen to my miraculous event, listen to the miracle that I experienced, and I get it. Hey, it's good. It can enlighten you, it can give you hope, it can give you faith. I can believe in it. But give you hope, it can give you faith, I can believe in it. But your purest form of faith, your purest form of hope, the love and excitement and joy that you might be receiving, yes, of course it's going to be knowing that you have him at every venue, at every turn, at every corner. So, when you face those crossroads, no, I seek God and I seek Christ, I seek to put it back within his hands. When you're looking to either be turned left or either be turned right, no, I'm going to return back to the Savior, to the Redeemer, to the Creator, so that I can be thankful for what I've been delivered in every way, shape and form, because that works and we know it and we can trust in it. Here we go Now.

Speaker 1:

Listen, let no one despise you for your youth, righteous, very good. But set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4.12. Lord, help me. Lord, help me. Let no one despise you, not even God himself. Where else would it go For you in your youth? Now you can have acceptance.

Speaker 1:

Acceptance is faith. It's the enactment of the Holy Spirit being relevant in your life. You don't have to be despised for being righteous. You are capable of stumbling and you are capable of falling. You ever met anybody that wasn't capable of stumbling? You ever met anybody that wasn't capable of stumbling, of being turned around, of falling, of stubbing their toes? If you would. They didn't seek God, they didn't seek Christ. It did not work. Remember the enactment, the fruits of the labors being invested in your youth. Yes, of course, the righteous of the child, the youth, might be your presence, both on earth. Remember the eternal image. We're continuously seeking that investment.

Speaker 1:

But set the believers an example in speech and when we learn, we observe speech and conduct and love and faith and purity. And I told you that's one of the hardest challenges we are ever going to face. It's really hard on us to love unconditionally, to be in faith, to believe, to have hope, even when there are so many doubts and losses in the world, but then purity, to be pure in what you hear and what you see and what you think. Because he knows, of course we don't have that mindset, that mentality of being scorned and being put underneath the magnifying glass that he's consecutively looking at us in every way, shape and form. But set the believers an example.

Speaker 1:

Who's the believers? It could be your spouses. You need to give the love that you're receiving to the ones that you love. Don't get me wrong. Of course you can reach out to those that are seeking, the poor, the needy. Yes, of course, submissiveness I believe in it and it works and I know it. But despise you for your youth, and that's what we need to be reminded daily. Let no one despise you for your youth, for your righteousness. No, you're supposed to fail. No, no, no, no, no. You're supposed to learn. That's the bright side of it. You're still forgiven. We often, we often advance to where condemning is the only notion we have. How shall you condemn? If you condemn, then being forgiven is not an option. Very good.

Speaker 1:

And these signs will accompany those who believe In my name. They will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues Mark 16, 17. These signs will accompany those who believe. You'll see them. Some of them, they might have worldly possessions. Some of them might have joy, laughter. Some of them might have God-given talent, some might have looks. Some of them might be peace and contentment, to be very, very quiet. But they've received their peace, their pie. Yes, of course they have what they want. They're seeking that eternal image and God has touched them and blessed them.

Speaker 1:

Notice, every example is from the outside, looking in. How come? Because the true blessing is on the inside. But our deceptiveness, our youth, yes, the righteousness that lies within us. I was once blind, but now I see we're so quick to point that this might be God. But God's gains are immeasurable. We worship a living God. It's about eternity.

Speaker 1:

Yes, of course, to stumble, to fall is only part of the plan. I'm going to be okay, I'm sure. At the end of the day, if not now and forever, I shall have God and I shall have Christ Also. Very true, the moment you deny God and Christ for somebody else, you'll be denying him yourself. And the fact today, did you remember the fact? He cannot deny you and you cannot deny him. It's almost as if you're intertwined together. It's within your DNA and there is no other alternative and to speak in new tongues. Listen, I've heard the language and some of us. We've got to be careful with what we're saying, we're proclaiming, because our confessions and our prayers are direct relevance of how God's working within our lives. A conscience, yes, of course, acknowledgement, very, very, very good Lord. Forgive me I'm going to wrap this up in prayer, but let us be reminded and I think that's us, I think, and Barnabas, I think that's us what is our youth? And I tell everybody I'm working on the youth of the nation. It's important we invest in the youth. It's important that they hear it.

Speaker 1:

Not being forced on one another, not telling one another how to live, that's not God. Does anybody in the world effective, immediately want anybody in their life? That's not offering them God. Look, I'm going to tell you the truth, how sovereignly, sovereignly true it might be. If you don't have God to offer to me, I'm not interested. Remember the movie he's Just Not that Into you. He's just not into you. No, it's okay. If you don't have God to offer me, I'm not interested. Very good.

Speaker 1:

So when we put our foot down, it is part of being righteous, it's a part of finding him and it's part of discovery. Part of denial in this world is also part of acceptance. I've only denied so that I can accept him. I've denied creatures so that I can accept him, and there shall not be anybody condemning you ever hear somebody. You shall wait. You shall wait until the time is right. That's not the Holy Spirit or God talking within them. That's the righteous child screaming out from the inside help, because they can't get God and Christ the way that they want to and they don't have the fulfillment that they seek. Lord, help me.

Speaker 1:

Our graciously heavenly Father in Christ, our Savior, redeemer in love and strength and gain and knowledge and wisdom and passion and devotion. Let the Holy Spirit be the enactment that leads us within faith, the faith that we believe in, the faith that is so true to your divine divinity that every day, our joy, our happiness, including the sorrows, the agonies, the trials, the tribulations, can be a direct reflection of the righteousness that's been placed within us. Let the youth be forever young within our hearts, souls and minds, reminding us that your eternal presence within our hearts, souls and minds, and thought, word and deed is everything that we need, in a sense of supplication. Let us seek to be fulfilled with communion, the body and the blood and seek to advance your ministry, your work, by having church, by talking to one another and by discussing it. Not leading one another astray, not condemning one another, not setting boundaries and restrictions and limitations on one another, but embracing love with one another, knowing that God is capable, is competent, in every way, in every shape, in every form. With love, with patience, with grace. In the name of the Father, son, holy Spirit and Christ, our Savior's name, we pray.

Speaker 1:

Be sure to follow Facebook, instagram, twitter. Check out the Buzzsprout feed. There is a fan mail. I've got my home phone listed online. Sounds like a major deal went through for Mexico and for continuing life or death ministries. We might be getting to a point where we can finally start having our own location, possibly like a sense of Holy Land, recreating it and making it to where it's very safe for us to be believers. Thank you for your continued support. Thank you for listening. It makes a very big impact on my daily lives and to the other individuals that I'm capable of supporting. In some of the enactments Look for a sense of advancement. Thank you for your donations, your contributions. It's God's work truly in this world for us, looking out for one another. That makes the world go around as you advance throughout the day. Lord, forgive me, I only have one question for you, and it's a question for your inner soul, your inner peace. Did you find your youth today? God bless, you have a very, very good day, thank you.
