y'all are y'all see a brick wall like this okay and the type of Fate that y'all move with y'all like to believe that y'all can run through RP walls and many of you do okay today I got a special message for you all all right and it was triggered by a conversation that I had recently but before I even get into that I would like for us to come together let's pray right here right now heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord I just want to say thank you for this time thank you for this hour Lord I know we're at the uh laundry room this is

a little different but Lord allow allow my words okay to speak your words allow this place not to be a distraction but allow your words to go forth right now and speak to this leader today and so that right now in this video that they can have an increase in their Faith Lord God that they can put away any type of distractions from hearing your word this week hearing your word this month or hearing your word this year father you want to bless this leader with an increase of Faith so heavenly father use me today as a vessel Lord God to speak to your leader right now I don't know

where this leader is I don't know what this leader is going through I don't know what this leader has just gone through but Lord I'm praying that you will continuously strengthen this leader and you will uplift this leader and you will motivate this leader and you will ignite this leader to go forward and do the very thing that you are calling them to do so Holy Ghost go before me be with me right here right now in the name of Jesus we magnify you we uplift your name right now go before us in Jesus mighty name we pray amen my leaders I was sitting at a dinner the other day

and shout out to everybody that was at the table it was a beautiful time of fellowship with a group of friends at the church church and as I was sitting there something Sparks my attention and it was some dialogue that was said that really ignited me to say you know what I need to come on this platform I need to speak about this okay and before I even speak about this I want to read today's scripture and it's in the book of Romans chapter 10 I'm reading out of the KJV version I'm going to read this scripture to you okay and in Romans 10:1 17 my version reads so then

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God my leaders you've heard that verse so many times I'm going to speak about it again cuz we can never speak about it enough Faith your faith my faith believer's faith our faith this faith it comes by hearing it comes by hearing the word of God and I remember sitting at the table in an individual a brother in Christ of mine he mentioned how you know there's times where we get so distracted as Believers and we go weeks without reading our Bibles we don't even open the Bible no more we go months we're not opening the Bible every single day

you know how it is we get distracted we're doing laundry we're cooking food for our family we're doing dishes we're sleeping cuz we got to go to work tomorrow we're doing every single thing but choosing to get into the word of God all right and we're not doing it every single day and when he said we're not doing it every single day I was triggered triggered because I'm going to be honest my leaders if you know my testimonial about almost committing suicide back in 2014 I would be lying to you if I said I don't read my Bible every single day my leaders I read my Bible every single day

not because of a religious activity this is not legalism I do this because I need to spend time with God not only in prayer not only in worship which is the most powerful thing you can do is to praise Jehovah Gyra Jesus Christ but you know what else is to listen to the words of God is to get into God's presence and read what the word says read what God's word says is to hear him speak through the word I need that every single day because if I don't don't get a just I want to say I was going to say proteins right now but if I don't get my

daily dose of the Bible I'm not the same person that I would be had I spent time with God and read my Bible I realize that I'm not the same person I don't got the same patience I don't even move the same way I move in my own flesh I move in my own way and it ain't pretty somebody can piss me off even easier than they should be able to I can get triggered or my lust will get triggered y'all know my uh story about dealing with pornography for over 15 years like if I don't get into this word I recognize that there's something that happens and why I

don't just do it just to say yo I've been in the word every single day the reason why I have to get in the word every single day because I'm a married man right let me use this as an example and when ever in the past I focused so much on just work work work work work and I don't spend enough time with my wife you know what ends up happening with my relation relationship we kind of feel like we don't really know each other you know what I mean like we the conversation is a little different the conversation it's like I got to get to know my wife all

over again she got to get to know me all over again I got to get our Cadence back and I don't like doing that I love my wife but I don't want to have to allow my wife to ever feel like a stranger I don't like that feeling so I realized once again this walk with God is not a legalistic walk it's not not a religious walk it's a walk of relationship yes Christianity is a religion but this is not a religious walk this is a relational thing I don't just do the activities of loving my wife just because I'm supposed to do it I do the activities of loving

my wife because I actually care about my wife I care about spending time with her because I know how much it means to my wife in God the church being the bride of Christ I realize that man the deeper and the more I spend time with God the better our relationship is I understand his voice whether it's the loud thunderous Voice or it's The Whispers when he's impressing something in my spirit telling me to do this or telling me to do that I realize that it's such a beautiful experience when I spend time with God and so I read faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God so

yes we listen to sermons which is great we have other pastors myself as a preacher I'm I'm I'm pour this thing out to you and it's very important why is it very important well check this out when you go to uh verse 14 it says how then shall They Call On Him whom they have not not believed and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard once again that word heard and how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall they preach except they be sent okay as it is written how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring Glad

Tidings of good things so how shall they preach except they be sent this is Romans 10:14 so once again I'm here preaching most of the days of the week as Faithfully as I can because not out of my own flesh but because I've been sent to preach I've been sent to preach so that you can hear the words of God that are coming from this Bible and so I can minister to you the teaching the principles that can pour into you and keep building your faith so as you're listening to this video and every single time you listen to this video as long as I'm speaking with the Holy Ghost

is allowing me to speak and I'm reading my word there's an increase in your faith naturally which is great and powerful but I'm always on this platform going to show you don't just rely on what I'm preaching to you don't just trust the words that are coming out of my own mouth read your Bible for yourself why so that you can also discern if something I said was correct or if something I said was wrong and so when you're going out into the world as well too you can hear the voice of the Lord you you want to know what the word says and the more that you spend time

with you reading the Bible it's a beautiful encounter with God where your relationship increases because he's speaking to you reading your Bible is an also an act of being still and an act of being patient and I'm saying this because reading your word is such a priority because you want your faith to be Inc but here is the thing hearing is such a powerful Concept in the Bible that not only does faith come by hearing fear also comes by hearing and I realize that this is the most trusted faithful motivational book that I could possibly pick up because now when I go on to the world I got to get

ready to hear things that not going to be so motivational you turn on the news and the News may not be so motivational you get different text messages me that are coming through your phone and those text messages may not be so motivational something comes at your job and something just throws you off at the job or you're in the world you just try to walk down at the park and you're hearing things or the enem is in your ear all right and when the enem is in your ear now the enemy ain't talking the word of God the enemy is talking the words of the Flesh and so now

fear also comes by hearing and hearing not the word of God so when I sat there at the table and I got trick I'm like ah I used to be that way but I realized where I'm at right now I need to so even if I if I'm doing laundry yeah I'm speaking the word to you but even if I'm doing laundry I got 30 minutes at least now mind y spend a lot more time in my word hours on hours in the day but I'm going to give my time to something I can't say I ain't got time to spend time in my word I can't tell my wife

baby I ain't got time for you right now I ain't got time for you this week I I'll talk to you next week that is not going to be a healthy healthy marital relationship matter of fact I did that before in the past it did not work you see we going to spend time to do something and what I realized is Michael I got to make a sacrifice I have to make a sacrifice somewhere so there's times where if I don't feel like I have enough time in a day I'm going to wake up earlier there's time where I wake up at 3:00 in the morning just so I can

get at least like maybe 3 hours of the Bible before my wife wakes up maybe I may make us some breakfast if she wants some and then I'll go back to sleep maybe I'll take a nap all right but I've already gotten those 3 hours in uninterrupted time many of you y'all may have children you all may be parents you may have a a job that does require you to get up at 7:00 well you got to be there at 7 meaning you got to wake up earlier what happens mean it means I need to I I can't love sleep so much I'm getting all this time in my day

but that means if I got to give up some sleep I'm going to give up some sleep and pray that the holy spirit gives me enough strength to have the energy that I need when I wake up in the morning and every single time the energy that I need when I wake up in the morning is there the energy that I need for the next day is there maybe I got to give up some some sleep maybe there's a morning routine where maybe you check the phone all the time or you instantly hop on the Instagram or you instantly hop on the news feed cuz you want to see what

CNN has to say what Fox News has to say whatever you like to watch maybe your favorite sports if I'm struggling to get In God's Presence every single day I got to cut something off there's times where I used to work so hard as a workaholic and I can still go in and work hard but I realize that if there's something that I'm doing that I'm doing too much of that's messing up the relationship with me and my wife I got to find something in some way somehow to I got to I got to start cutting some things off I may be just doing too much I know I want

to check on my brothers in Christ but what about my wife a lot of my brothers in Christ they know on the audio when they call me up they know Saturdays is a special day where I do spend it with my wife and during that time most of them know that you may not get me on the phone and a lot of them they send me messages anyway like man brother I know you I know this you and your wife day man I know this you and your wife's day my brother but you know and they're talking but they acknowledge the fact that they know this is the time and

the precious time that I got to have with my wife because why I want a successful marriage I want a successful relationship is my marriage perfect no but I know there's things that I can keep continuously do to be and have a perfect relationship a blissful relationship a harmonious relationship this is what I want with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I don't do everything I'm supposed to do all the time I'm not the perfect servant he says be ye perfect so I'm trying to be perfect every single day I'm trying to repent come before the Lord God show me how to how to maneuver my my day I need

to know and I need to read God's word every single day I just got to spend time with him and I do this video just as a challenge because the question and the statement that was said in really did a um a number in me because I do remember I used to do that but now I recognize that a lot of times if I don't find time to make time for God I become more selfish with my time this is me I stop wanting to make time for everybody else I sto wanting to make time for other things it's like when I honor spending time with God and reading his

precious word I'm always blessed and check this out this is my favorite part whenever I read this word and I'm getting this Revelation for myself God always allows me to use what I've read as a tool of encouragement for somebody else every single time somebody else gets to get blessed by something that I read that I'm able to share with them then they got to that I just poured into him sometimes it's just for me or sometimes it's for you all on this YouTube platform I can't even go and give you all words and messages if I'm not spending time with God every single day I just can't give y'all

nothing and I remember there was a season of me just backsliding so hard on spending time with the Lord being in his presence praying worship and reading that I I didn't have nothing to come on YouTube with for you all I couldn't feed y'all nothing cuz I wasn't getting fed myself I was drained and I was backsliding and I had to come to God and repent and what did he do he took me stripped some things from me he stripped some things from me until I realized like oh you taking all these distractions from me so I can spend time in your presence my leader my challenge for you is

this leadership challenge write down on a sheet of paper right is a psychomotor newer activity write down on a sheet of paper how much time and how often do I read the Bible every single day do I read the Bible every single day am I once a week am I every you know what I mean am I just on Sundays when I go to church am I every few months how often am I reading the Bible that's the first question I want you to ask and if the question is not every day I want you to ask the question why and what's taking this time and then I want you

to write down what do you do every day okay what activities do you do every single day and why do you do them why do you do those activities like for example one activity I'm going to do every single day I'm going watch some basketball highlights I may not watch the full game I don't got time to watch full games in my life right now but I watch highlights I'm always watching some basketball so if I'm going to take time to watch a little bit of basketball highlights every single day I have no excuse to not make that time or even sacrifice that if I haven't gotten the word and

spend time with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because the basketball that's going to go away but this going to fill me up like nothing else can so that's my challenge for us today if we have not been reading our word every single day I challenge you to begin reading your word every single day I'm not going to lie and say I just want y'all to read for 10 minutes that I want y to read for 15 minutes like I challenge you at least a minimum of 30 minutes but what you going to find is 30 minutes ain't enough when you reading your word and if you implement journaling down

reflection thoughts like you going to need an hour at least at least an hour and then before you know maybe two hours went by or 3 hours went by because when you're in the spirit time ceases to exist and that's a whole another video and I challenge you all who are about to take this video before I close [Music] [Music] to challenge somebody else who else can you challenge to begin reading the Bible every single day and my NE I'm not just talking about devotionals on the Bible app that's great I'm talking about really asking the Lord what Bible book do you want me to read Holy Spirit lead me

to a Bible lead me to lead me to what do you want me to read Holy Spirit every single time time will direct you just go to the table of contents look at it holy spirit is going to show you flip through your Bible holy spirit is going to show you begin reading your Bible every single day Monday through Sunday I don't even care if you going to church in the morning make your time with God a personal thing it's a precious and the most precious thing that you can do is spend time with Jesus Christ and read his word h let's pray dear Lord heavenly father in the mighty
