LIVE DISCUSSION: "Shall Any Teach God" - (Job 21:22-27), Part 4/4

Some of the hardest moments in faith come with a simple, brutal question: why does the wicked person seem to thrive while the faithful person suffers. We sit with Job’s argument and refuse the easy answers. A comfortable life is not automatic proof of God’s blessing, and a painful life is not automatic proof of God’s anger. What looks like “postponed accountability” may actually be God’s patience, a mercy-filled delay meant to lead someone to repentance, and a warning that rejecting that mercy has weight. 

We connect Job’s tension to Jesus’ own teaching through the story of Lazarus and the rich man, and we talk honestly about how persecution, false accusations, and betrayal show up in real Christian life. Instead of trying to decode every trial with a spiritual formula, we aim for the kind of love Jesus modeled: wash feet, forgive enemies, and stay steady when reviled. We also dig into discernment, self-examination, and why listening closely reveals what’s really in a person’s heart. 

Judas becomes a cautionary mirror for all of us, especially around money and ambition. Luke 16 draws a line in the sand: you cannot serve God and mammon. We talk about Christian stewardship, building and working with God first, and praying for integrity and clear direction in business and family life.

God’s Patience And Coming Judgment

SPEAKER_06 0:00

Being fattened for the kill. So the way I look at it is this way is that when you re when when when when you disregard the patience and the long-suffering of God towards you because of your sin and rebellion against him, if you reject that, you are fattening yourself up for the kill. The more he holds out, giving you that window of opportunity to come to him in faith, and you reject it, the more intense your condemnation will be. At the same token, the closer you get to death, even though you are a prosperous person, prosperous person, the the patience of God is still relevant as long as you're alive. And so there's a very good chance that it's possible that a wicked person who is prosperous can repent. And so everyone is gonna be is gonna have to deal with this with this dilemma. If you reject God's patience, then what you have turns into the grounds for a greater degree of condemnation because of the greater degree of rejection by you of God.

SPEAKER_08 1:24

So is it like postponed accountable postponed accountability?

SPEAKER_06 1:28

I guess. Oh yeah, for sure. For sure. Okay, okay, okay, okay. But that postponement, you don't you don't you don't look at it as like postponement. You look at it, I mean it is, you could look at it that way. But what but what it is is it's like it's the long suffering of God. You know what I mean? It's like the the delay is good for you if you make use of it.

Why Prosperity Proves Nothing

SPEAKER_08 1:47

But if you don't Okay, because I was gonna say, so it's like what is because I was gonna say, well, long suffering, he is long suffering, but it's what you do in the process of, I guess, the pruning and the long suffering, because if you come out faithful, or if you come out faithless, then that's so that's your choice, right? Because I guess if like if the if the if the wicked can die in peace, I think I know the answer to this. I'm gonna say faith, but if the wicked can die in peace, what exactly are we using to measure the righteousness of the wicked? Or just measure righteousness, period, I guess.

SPEAKER_06 2:21

Yeah, but this is the whole argument Job is making. Job is making he he's saying that he's saying that you can't, you know, this whole chapter.

SPEAKER_07 2:28

I'm sorry because I missed it, I'm late, but yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:30

No, no, but that this that's exactly what he's talking about in this chapter. So it's a good question because what he's talking about is that you can't tell from looking at the outside. You you can't you can't tell. A person can be wealthy, healthy, and prosperous their entire life and have nothing and have nothing go wrong as far as the what the way we look at it. And what's often the case in terms of most people will look at a person who's lived like that and they will assume that they are just totally just blessed by God, when in fact they very well may be cursed by God. You see what I mean? And the same goes for somebody who suffered all their life. They may be uh suffer and had a bitter life their whole time, and they may be end up, we may end up finding out at the at when it's all over and said and done that they were righteous. But what I'm also saying is that the opposite can be true for both. You know, you can be you can be bitter and full of anxiety and depression all your life and yet be a wicked person and be condemned on top of what you lived, what your life was like. You know, in the same way that a wealthy person is prosperous, you know, there there are some out there who have managed themselves in such a way that they still find themselves, even though they've had a great life, they find themselves at some long somewhere along the lines, repenting and turning to Christ and being saved. And what Job is saying is that there is no formula. He's telling his friends, there is no sense formula. So your assessment about me is wrong. And that's what that's what that's what Job is telling his friends.

SPEAKER_08 4:06

So let me can I just close right here. So is that ultimate because I'm not trying to make sense out of it because I know he is, you know, mysterious and matchless and all that, not trying to ever be like nowhere near him, right? Um uh respectfully. Right. But I'm just trying to understand it, so I guess because every time I get understanding, or he brings understanding, it just leads to this is why you just have to save yourself, because you can't beat the sin, no matter what you try to do at all. But you not beat it, but you and you're saving your gaining your salvation, you find peace and comfort. Like, I guess I can.

SPEAKER_06 4:40

You do, but you can't save yourself, that's for sure.

Lazarus And The Rich Man

SPEAKER_08 4:42

Well, not save myself, but you know, I got you. Yeah. Let's clear, let's clear that up right now. Okay, yes, right now. Sorry, take that, take that part out of everything and everything else. Just bring it together. I got you. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 4:54

Brother Eric, what do you think? What do you think, brother? Eric, what do you think?

SPEAKER_05 4:58

Um, I I think uh just, you know, based on Polly's word, we we have the the purest example is in Lazarus and the rich man.

SPEAKER_09 5:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:05

You know, I mean, uh, it's just as simple as it can get. You have the the rich the Lazarus who's sores, he's begging for food for crumbs at the rich man's table, and the rich man sees him and he has everything. And then they both, you know, are alive, and well, Lazarus is comforted in Abraham's bosom, and the rich man's in torment, you know, and begging for water. So I think at the end of the day, I mean, um, you know, and I and I and man, we there was so much to cover, Jonathan. Like, man, we kind of went everywhere, bro. But there's like, so like, I'll just say this, I'll keep it very brief. Um, if you were persecuted for righteousness' sake and they're saying all kinds of false things about you, Jesus Christ said it himself in Matthew 5, Blessed are you. Don't take it to heart, man. Right. If they hated him, just know they're gonna hate you, they're gonna hate us. That's just what it is, right? This is the territory by which we walk in. Um secondly, uh the other thing was regarding Job's friends, right? Meg Meg said something about Job's friends, you know, were they really friends? We could always question was Peter really Jesus' friend?

SPEAKER_09 6:14

Right.

SPEAKER_05 6:14

And at the end of the day, I think people are gonna fail people, but you always remember that's why we trust no man. You know, even your friends are gonna fail you. I I've I've I've had best friends fail me, you know what I mean? So uh and I'm I'm sure in return I failed them because people are people, and well, I'm always reminded you're people, Eric. So uh and and lastly, uh always be re always I'm always mindful though. Uh this is what when when when we were talking, was even though these people, Jesus knew his friends were going to turn their back on him, betray him, leave him by himself, yet he still washed their feet. Right? And so, in the same token, if in instead of Job's friends trying to figure out why Job is going through what he's going through or trying to, oh, I'm just turning in the spirit, Job. You know, people get so over-spiritual, right? But I think if Job's friends would have just washed Job's feet through the suffering, right? You become all to gain all, you weep with those who weep, you you rejoice with those who rejoice, then then truly, you know, then they would have seen a gospel proclaimed. But we have what we have as what is written to understand, right? That if they do persecute us and defame us and say all false narratives about us, listen, they call Jesus the wine bibber and a gluttonous eater of meat.

SPEAKER_09 7:38

Right.

SPEAKER_05 7:39

So you know they're gonna lie on us, bear false witness against us, and it's okay. Still wash their feet. Love your enemies. If your enemy is hungry, give them something to drink. Or give him something to eat. If he's thirsty, give him something to drink. You know, at the end of the day, we had to reflect our master Jesus and how he did it. He was like a lamb led to the slaughter. You know, when he was reviled, he didn't he walked in the fear of the Lord. Some people think that's just respect to God. Like, okay, but it literally tells us when he was reviled, this is the fear of the Lord. When he was reviled, he didn't revile. Right? When he was ridiculed, he didn't ridicule. He was silent. Right. To the contrary, he said, Lord, forgive them, they don't know what they're doing. So I just encourage each and every one of us here, man, including myself, as I'm hearing this to you guys, like all this is real.

SPEAKER_09 8:22

Yep.

Wash Feet When Friends Fail

SPEAKER_05 8:23

And so in the reality of walking with God, like Enoch, right? Because he lives in us now. The Lord lives in us, and we walk with him. We're gonna face these things, we're gonna go through these things, we're gonna suffer the trials, the tribulations, we're gonna have the and listen, the reality is I'm I'm I've gone through it, Jonathan. I'll you know, I don't know about anybody else here, but well, why, God? Why do the wicked prosper? And it's okay to ask Father these questions, bro. He he it's he'll he'll answer you. That's why we have Psalm 73. You know, that's and and and if you really if you really want to know, he'll he'll allow you to go through the experience. So with that, God bless you guys, man.

SPEAKER_06 9:03

Thank you, man. I appreciate that, man. Something you said spoke to my heart a lot. I want you to know that. And uh and also like the the one thing when you said, um, I mean, I liked all of it, but when you said um uh when you on the on your second uh point other the three points, your second one, you talked about how um friends have done you, and then you also said you've done you've done the same thing to to friends. We need more of that. You know, where Christians are saying are being introspective when it comes to how they had been. You know, we uh we know we have a lot of conversations on on these on these lives and in person or whatever. And and it's funny because Christians have a tendency, when they're when they're having conversations, there's always a fr there's always there's always an expression that we that we always not an expression, we're always using uh pronouns. And here's what I mean. Like we're always talking about what they think, what they say, what these people are saying, what people are saying, and what they're we're you know, there we we we all we have a natural inbred tendency to focus on what's wrong with everyone else's understanding, and so we always talk about, oh yeah, you know, these Christians, so many Christians believe this, so many Christians think that, so many, and then but I think that and I'm learning this too, to to dwell on this more. What am what do I need to improve upon in my own in my own heart? You know what I mean? How can I and so brother and Eric and I'll tell you this a minute, brother, because I you know, I you know, I watch your your your thing uh quite a bit, and uh, and I caught I I think it was on on Sunday morning, this past Sunday morning, I think it was. But, you know, I like because you you deal with a lot of uh of these practical issues, and and and I just really enjoyed uh on hearing that, and especially in that setting that you got it in, man. So you you you do it you do a really good work, brother, and and I just want to encourage you uh to keep doing that. And I told you this before, but you know, you know, believe me when I tell you, your your blessings are going. You know, the blessings that you are dispensing, um they're going outside the venues that you are dealing in and you don't even realize it, brother. Oh glory to God. Keep doing what you're doing, man. Keep doing what you're doing.

SPEAKER_05 11:32

Man, I just want to say real quick, you know, likewise, Jonathan, it's been a blessing and an honor, bro, just to battle with you. You know, I I tell my brothers and sisters in Christ, you know, we're not just walking in this, bro, we're battling, you know, and and and when one part of the body hurts, the whole body hurts. Yeah. I think we we you said it perfectly, brother. You know, if we have to first look in the mirror, you know, it's it's I tell people, you know, when you when we call out lukewarm Christians, I tell people, be mindful though, because in you know, Revelation chapter three, Jesus wasn't just rebuking one person. Right. He was rebuking an entire body. So, you know, with that, I just say, you know, brother, thank you. It's an honor, bro, to battle beside you. I'll you I've I'll say it again, man. You were the first one when I came to this TikTok platform that the Holy Spirit led me to. And uh just bro, it's any anytime that the Holy Spirit leads me, and I have time. I have time tonight. And please, family, keep me in prayer. Um, I started this new business with my wife, um, and it's it's moving so fast. And I if I would to tell you, I'm excited, but I'm also I'm terrified, bro. I'm just like, but in a good way, yeah. Nervous, you know what I'm saying? But because I see God moving and and please keep us in prayer. Um, I believe God's going to open the doors through this for the body to truly be blessed. Because I don't want nothing, Jonathan. I just want, I just want to serve the kingdom, bro, and serve his people and to truly love, man, like he does. So please, and I know the enemy would do anything to tort, thwart and hinder, like he tries to always do, but it never works. You know what I'm saying? So, because we we stand in faith and we trust God to do what he does best, especially in his sovereignty. So please keep us in prayer. I love each and every one of you guys, man. I gotta get ready for bed, or I gotta get up early. But thank you for even being there, John, because man, bro, listen, you know how much that means to me, brother. And I know, I know, you know, I'll see you pop in and like I don't I don't want to put you on blast out there, brother, because I know you're a humble dude. You know what I mean? And you're more like you're like, you're more like in the cuts. You're more like me, bro. That's that's why I love coming to your platforms. You lay back more on the cuts. That's kind of what I do. I I won't usually come on the platforms, I won't come to the boxes unless I'm led by the Lord and and there's a word. And like, bro, thank you. Because you know, I you lead by example, and I see Christ all over you and a lot of us here. So, and God bless you, and I love you guys so much, man.

SPEAKER_06 14:01

You too, man. God bless you and your wife in that business. Tell your tell your wife, your lovely wife, or said hello as well.

SPEAKER_05 14:05

Thank you. I mean, she's right here.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

Thank you. Love you. Praying for you guys, standing in the gap. And I just I I've been listening and I'm just I I'm in awe with what I'm hearing. So thank you for that.

SPEAKER_06 14:16

Awesome, sister. Well, I'm we I will well, God bless you guys and your endeavors you're doing, and I'm sure that he will bless you with the fruit you deserve.

SPEAKER_05 14:24

God bless you guys, love y'all.

SPEAKER_06 14:25

All right, brother. Sister Candy, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 14:30

When Brother Rod started, um, it it just makes me, you know, that's where we can't judge books by the cover.

SPEAKER_09 14:37

Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:38

You know? So don't think just because somebody looks apart. Because nine times out of ten, you're really, really wrong. It's the opposite of what we really in our carnal mind, fleshly thoughts, are thinking.

unknown 14:51

Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

They're probably not. Because I don't know how many times I've like thought someone just because of looking at them, ooh, they look like they're mean. You know, and don't bite your head off. And then they turn out to be like some of the nicest people you've ever even spoke to. That's right. And really nice back. And then when um brother um ohn it just talked. I can't think of Montana, Montana, yeah. When he was talking, it makes me think he got my gut, he makes me think of when he's talked about washing the feet. Again, don't judge a book by the cover because the the disciples didn't know. You know what I mean? Jesus does, but the disciples didn't know nothing about Judas, right? And then Judas did what? His prosperity got his life. You know, he he he chose prosperity over Jesus.

SPEAKER_09 15:46

Right.

SPEAKER_04 15:47

So again, it it's it's don't be deceived by what the world makes look. What's the word you when you're attracted to something? Um, come on, you got them fancy big words.

SPEAKER_06 16:02

I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss now.

SPEAKER_04 16:05

You know, it's another word for attractive when they make it look Appealing. Um, that's a good word to use. When they make it look so appealing that, oh, but then you think it's of God, but then are you really tricking yourself into wanting it to be of God?

SPEAKER_09 16:22

Right.

SPEAKER_04 16:22

You know, so again, it's seek him in all things, man.

SPEAKER_06 16:26

Amen.

SPEAKER_04 16:27

It's not easy to do, but all we can do is try.

SPEAKER_06 16:31

Right.

SPEAKER_04 16:32

As long as we seek him and and and ask him, talk to him, let him know. Like Job does, you know, he's doing exactly what we as babes grow into the adolescent, teenage, adult, mature life of Christ, learn to do.

SPEAKER_06 16:48

Right. Yep, for sure. Brother Rod, your last word for tonight.

SPEAKER_08 16:54

Um, well, um, you know, again, I came in a little late. Um, this was good. I mean, I have a lot to say, but it just, I'll I'll just say God is working and I'm thankful. I'm living in the moment. Um, I'm no, I'm seeing it. I will say that I say, well, Lord, if you don't remove what's not for me, at least reveal it. That way I can do right. But then someone say, Well, that's a good one, because they'll prepare the table right in front of you and them, and you make the decision. So, based on what I heard you say as I came in about your friends and all that stuff, you know, it's it's just interesting that this is even happening right now today. I think Meg mentioned about this, the passive aggressiveness, and then I heard you guys like studying him and like stuff like that, you know. So I was like, dang, this is crazy. I came in at the right time. So I'm gonna read up on this once I get off and make my my notes. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 17:51

Well, you take good notes, that's for sure. Last time it gives me away. Thank you. Sister Savannah, last word for tonight.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

Yeah, I was just thinking, um, because uh Candy mentioned um Judas. Um and it w it you know it struck me like Judas was never um Judas was never like about Jesus. He was like he like he was never truly seeking Jesus, even though like maybe he thought for a time that he was. Like I think he was deceived by himself. Like I think Judas was naturally attracted to like Judas was just wanting things that Jesus just naturally attracted himself, like attention, uh, you know, like fame or you know, like money.

SPEAKER_06 18:49

Judas was about that, he was about that bag.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

Yeah, yeah. So Judas cared about worldly things, and and that's the reason why he was following Jesus, is because he he wanted prosperity, he didn't want what Jesus had, but it's just still amazing like that Jesus never like he like Jesus still included him in the 12, like he was part of the family, you know, up until the very end, you know, and then he called, you know, he said, and then he called him out in the end and said, you know, one of you is a devil, but he still washed his feet and everything.

SPEAKER_06 19:32

Yeah, he did. He really did. And you know, and and Christ in Luke 16, he gave Israel an ultimatum. He said, You can't serve God and mammon. He's like, so Christ said, pick one, but you can't have both. And that's what and that's and so I mean him saying that in Luke 16, 13, you can't serve God and mammon is a big statement about what should about what your ambitions should be. And how your ambition, whatever they may be, should not be uh inordinate and it should be focused on your ambition, should be toward God, not toward mammon. And so Christ gave that entire nation an ultimatum. What's it gonna be? Is it gonna be God or is it gonna be mammon? You we all know what they chose. We all know what they chose, and it wasn't God. And how do we know? Because He they put him on the cross. And so this is what happens right now. So when it when it comes to when it comes to God, because you know you have a lot of Christians, especially people who are who are in the entertainment world, and I know you came out of that world or in that world, and I was in it. It it's it's like it's thick with this desire um to get wealthy, to get popular, to get famous, all these things. And um uh, but you can't have both. You you you you have to pick what Christ says that there's a line in the sand that divides mammon from God. And so when we when we do like like we know our brother was you know wants us to pray for his you know his business endeavor. And you know, one of the big things that I'm gonna pray for, when and I am gonna pray for that, him and his wife to have their business is that that God is the focus. And I know Eric and his wife well enough, well enough to know that that is their focus, was what's gonna be. But this should be what all of our focuses should be when we are looking at work and business and building, whatever. God has to be first. We have to be doing this to glorify him, and we have to be making use of the means of and graces that he has given us to pursue these. Things and you have to be wise enough to know when he's given you the opportunity to take advantage of it. It's not wrong to make money, it's a wrong, it's wrong to be governed by it. And this is the difference. This is the difference. So, and this is my prayer for all of you who are you know my brothers and sisters in Christ. We have to make sure that we that we uh take everything that we that we've been given and use it to be to be stewards in God's kingdom. Sister Mariah, your last word.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

Yes, um when she was just speaking about Judas, um what what stuck out to me is that they did not know who was the evil one or like who was going to betray. And it just reminds me that you cannot judge off appearances because they could not tell which one and they were concerned, is it me? You know, like so I think that that is just uh uh crazy when I just thought about that. I was like, wow, that's so true. And it just gives me the picture of that the tares do grow up with the wheat, and you cannot tell until the harvest time. We he could not tell that Judas was until it was time for him, his harvest of what he was and his purpose was for uh that God had set out for him to do, you know. Um, so I think that that's amazing. Um, something else uh throughout the night, um, in the beginning, you were talking about how um some people are constantly tearing down people, and um, you know, they want to be at a place in which they are to, you know, join their company. And I constantly see that happening here on this app alone. Um, you know, it's like tone it down, like you're too, you're you're too zealous. We know you love the Lord. Can you just, you know, and I just I'm like, you know, why not feed into that and you know encourage that because the person walks away sad, you know, and I've witnessed that. So I just I thank you for that because it just gives me a reminder to uplift the person and uh keep continuing to speak up and to encourage that and to stop that nonsense and its tracks.

SPEAKER_06 24:24

Right. Amen, sister. I and I love that observation about about Judas and how none of the other uh disciples, you know, when Christ said that one of you is gonna is gonna is gonna be a devil, there's a devil among us, and they're asking, is it I, is it I, is it I? And to me, that really is a good picture of what our first uh instinct should be um when we are find we find ourselves in a situation where somebody is being um assessed in this kind of way. And and so all those disciples were asking, is it I, is it I, is it I? And that is an astounding thing. And and I and I also what makes that observation particularly extraordinary to me hearing there from you, sister, is the fact that bringing it up in the context of what we're talking about makes it that much more uh interesting because I hadn't thought of applying that situation to what's going on here, but it's definitely apropos. So I uh thank you for that. Very good. Uh Candy, you have one more thing you want to say about Rod, and then I'll I'll uh go to Meg last. And Meg, if you don't mind, when you give your last word, you can close us out if you would. And also to remember to keep Eric and his wife's business in prayer if you would. Is that all right? Absolutely. All right. All right, Candy, your last word.

SPEAKER_04 25:45

Yeah, it was just where he was talking about, you know, God is always working, brother. Always working. But sometimes it's not it's not the people around us that we need to focus on. Sometimes it's us. What do we need to learn from what we're seeing going around us with what's broken in us? Sometimes that's that's what he revealed to me today personally, was you know, it's it's what's broken in you is when when you're in these situations, and you know, Lord, is it of you? Is it not of you? If it's not of you, take it away from you, you know, remove remove it from me, kind of like Paul with the thorn in his side. He didn't, because it's about if the in the end of every day, we are accountable for us with the Lord, and then as like Jonathan said, being a steward, what do we do with what what he gives us?

SPEAKER_09 26:31

Right. Amen.

SPEAKER_04 26:32

If we can't even see it in ourselves and recognize what he's showing us, and that's all I wanted to say, brother. So no matter what you're going through, I promise you he works it all out for our good. But seek what it is that he's got for us in the process and in the in the midst of what it is we're enduring right now at the moment. And watch how he works, man.

unknown 26:54

Amen.

SPEAKER_04 26:55

Don't be discouraged nor dismayed, brother.

SPEAKER_08 26:57

That's right. Thank you, Sister Katie. Amen. Thank you.

Prayer Requests And Closing Blessing

SPEAKER_06 27:00

And Meg, I know you got your last word, but when you get to the prayer, just uh, you know, remember Eric and his wife, their business. Um, that Rodney would get the desires of his heart uh when it comes to business and his personal relationships, and then Lisa, and then and you take it from there. So your last word and then close us out, if you would.

SPEAKER_02 27:20

So remember I said in the beginning, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, right? So when Jesus said, The twelve I have chosen you, and one of you is a devil, you hear the disciples and they reply and they say, Lord, is it I? Is it I, Lord? And Judas answers, he says, Rabbi, is it me? And so everybody else acknowledged him for who they were in his heart. How they saw the Lord Jesus Christ, they acknowledged him as Lord.

unknown 27:55

And Judas simply acknowledged him as Rabbi. And he and he told again, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth will speak. If you listen to people long enough, whatever's in them will come out.

SPEAKER_09 28:10

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 28:11

You know, and it's and I and I think that what that does for me is it allows me to glorify the Lord and the and knowing and thanking him for discernment, thanking him for those moments when we yield to the Holy Spirit, and he tells us, shh, be quiet. I want you to listen. And so I think during this season, he's he's really just been showing me um in my own personal walk, just just be quiet a little bit. I want you to listen. It's gonna people are gonna tell you everything that you need to see, and then you you you know how to move now. I'm gonna show you that, you know. So um, so I just wanted to pray. We're gonna um, if everybody could just stop commenting for a moment so we can just end this in prayer. Um, as we join our faith together for Eric and Irod and Sister Lisa. Um, dear Heavenly Father, Lord God, I just thank you for the time that you have allotted us this evening to continue in your word, Lord, and to grow and and be those worshipers that you truly seek, Heavenly Father, which is those who worship you in spirit and in truth, Lord God. Lord, I I thank you for Eric and his wife, Heavenly Father, I thank you. I'm so I was so blessed, Lord, by by Eric's testimony and the man of God that you have created him to be, Lord, to just stand firm in your word and be the man of God in his household that you have called him to be along with his beautiful wife. Lord God, as you have opened the door to a business opportunity for them, Heavenly Father. Lord, I pray for clear direction in the way in which they will go. Your word says to write the vision. And Heavenly Father, I think that they have written the vision and they have that in their heart in which they have received from you, Lord God. And I pray that whatever you have in this, that it is fulfilled to fully glorify you in all things. And Lord, as their fruits are increased, Lord God, I ask that that you just bless them with the heart to continue to be good stewards, not only of your word, but of the funds and the things that you have given them as they continue to walk in good stewardship and honor you in all ways possible. And Lord God, I just thank you for Brother Rod here today, Lord. I ask that you just continue to give him clear direction and the peace that surpasses all understanding. That Lord God, it's not just for a moment, but it's a place that we live in continually with you. For we find rest in you, your Lord, and your yoke is easy and your burden is light. And I pray continually, Lord God, for Brother Rod, that as he continues to grow, Lord, he truly comes to the understanding of what and how light your yoke really is, Lord God. And Lord, that we are just me, we are just mere sheep, Lord, and you know that sheep cannot hold a lot of weight. And so as we continue to rely on you in complete and utter dependence on everything that we do, Lord God, I just pray over Brother Irod and the provision that you have over him. And Lord, whatever comes his way, Lord, continue to give him the faith and the strength not only to overcome, but to be a victor because we are we identify with you, Lord God. And Lord, as you were an overcomer that overcame the world, and so shall we be, Lord, as we are overcomers by your grace and your grace alone, Heavenly Father. And Lord, I just thank you for Brother Jonathan and the things that you are doing in and through him, Lord. I pray over his health and over his back, Heavenly Father. I ask, Lord, that you just supernaturally realign everything, Heavenly Father, and ease his pain, Lord. I pray that he just has less headaches, Lord God, and that you just continue to strengthen him by your word as he continues to study and be a student of your word. And Lord, as you just give him the wisdom and the knowledge to exhort that to us, Heavenly Father, I ask that in the process that you bless him and his family. And Lord, I also pray for Sister Lisa, Heavenly Father, and that she's going through some things with her family. But Lord, you are our ever-present help in our time of need, and your daughter will definitely always cling to you, Heavenly Father. Hearken unto her, O God, of the things in which she prays and she speaks, Lord Jesus. For we know that anything that we ask in your Father's name, Lord God, that you will give it to us. And Lord, we receive that, Lord. And we ask humbly of all these things, Lord. And I pray for everybody in the chat today, Heavenly Father, and what they're going through and the things that any challenges that they're going through in their life, Lord God. Let they count it all joy and all circumstances, Heavenly Father, because you are the ultimate joy of our lives. Lord, strengthen their faith. Lord, bless their family. Allow them to continue to always seek you in all things, Lord, for we know when we do that, then you our desires that we have are aligned with your will, Heavenly Father, and you will add all things unto us, Lord God. I thank you for the days ahead. I thank you for the discernment and the strength in the body of Christ, Lord. Let us continually come together and be unified, just as your, as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ spoke of in John 17, that we continue to be one, one not only in your Son, Heavenly Father, but in you as well, for you and the Son are one. And as the body of Christ, when we come together, Lord, unify us with your Son. And Lord, we just thank you for always being such a good, good Father to each and every one of us, to where our soul cries, Abba, Heavenly Father. I thank you, Lord God, I worship you. I glorify you in all things, Heavenly Father. For there is no one that is greater that should be exalted more than you, for you are our God of heavens and all of the earth, Lord. And we thank you for your grace and the children that you have called us to be. And not only have you called us, Lord God, but you have called each and every one of us by our names, and we respond. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
