And I pray that, that is your aim for today. that you want to rejoice and be glad in it because of who God is and and what he has done in your life, what he is doing in your life and the things that are to come So I am so grateful for who he is and what he does. It is just it blows my mind.

I stop and look at what is going on in my life.

And we want to we going to, we going to, we going to be here in the the Epistle of Romans for a little while. And you know, we going to walk through it. Maybe we might take a break and do something different. But as of now, this is where the Holy Spirit has been leading me because we just came through. the Holy Week experience and

I think it's best that we really unwrap. What has just happened because sometimes we don't really pay attention to what God has done for us through Jesus. The Christ. So, before I get started, let let's start with a word of Prayer. And let's move into this lesson. Father, God, in the name of the Lord. Jesus. We want to thank you for this day. We want to thank you for your word or Lord, that is alive and that it will never die. We thank you Father. God for giving us access to you and thank you for the comfort of your Holy Spirit, and your spirit that gives us the knowledge of things that we need to know. We, thank you, Father, God, for the mindset that we can have enough. That was also in Christ Jesus. We want to tell you. Thank you, Father God for becoming being compassionate. Thank you for loving us in and, and being mindful of us and thank you for never leaving North. Mistaking us. Father, God, I like to ask for a special Focus for those who may be going through some type of term. And help them not to focus so much on the turmoil, but to keep their eyes on. You. You said, if we stay focused on you that you will keep us in perfect. Peace. Don't, don't let them be overwhelmed by what they going through. But help them to continue. To remember your word that in all thy ways acknowledge you and you will direct their baths. Help them, Father God, and let him know that you don't, you are the author of the storm. So the storm cannot do more than what you will allow it to do. And that it is for our growth and development that we go through things, but we are reminded that you said that you will never leave nor forsake us probably got.

And we believe by faith that you have heard this and we will shall receive that which we ask and your son Jesus name. I pray. Amen. And thank God. So again, thank you so much for tuning into the power, change Ministry podcast, and I am Reverend album. Louis. And as I said, we're going to look at Romans chapter 1 verses 1 through 7. We're going to be in the Epistle of Romans, which is a letter to the Romans that are in Rome. They are Gentiles and we want to see what Paul has to say. To them. Which in fact is instrumental and relevant to us today? So I'm going to read verses one through seven and its entirety and then we're going to look at it separately Universe by verse or clusters of verses so that we can we can get an understanding here.

Verse 1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. Call to be an apostle separated unto the gospel of God. Which he had promised to four By His prophets in the Holy scriptures. Concerning his son, Jesus Christ. Our Lord. Which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. And declared to be the Son of God with power. According to the spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. By whom we have received Grace. And apostleship. 4iiii obedience to the faith among all nations for his name. Among whom are you also the call of Jesus Christ. Verse 7. To all that be in Rome. Beloved of God, Called to be Saints. Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We see here that Paul.

who have written most of the Epistles in the, in the New Testament, as the He is one who when we, when we look at Paul. I want to understand and a little bit of background about Paul so that we can really Embrace what he has said, he ate in this verse. Now, Paul was a Jew of The Tribe of Benjamin.

He was born in the Greek city of Tarsus and who inherited Roman citizenship. and hence, he he was well acquainted with the three great nationalities of of of Rome and he

He was a free man. And in that time, you had a lot of slavery going on in Rome before he was a free man. He was born a free man, but we see him give that Paul in his writings. He says, They says that he is a servant of Jesus Christ. So he has willingly submitted himself unto being a servant of Jesus Christ Jesus. The Christ willingly taking on

The lifestyle of a slave meaning, that he is under the direction, and the guidance of someone else, not him his own doing, and that he wants to, or not want to, but he is letting the Lord lead him. Now. We know, Paul also, he was soft prior to this and he received his transformation on the road of Damascus because he was, he was a very heavy prosecutor of the church at the time, but God changed him. He, he, he struck them with blindness and when he his vision was restored. He had a new Focus. So we see that. Paul has a background, just like out. Let's just like we have a background and he is now. Working and walking in the will of God. And if we move further in verse one, it says that call to be an apostle. That is one that is sent.

To give a message and he's not giving his own message because he is a servant of Jesus the Christ. So he is sent to give the message of the one who has sent him, which is Jesus the Christ. He is separated unto the gospel of God, the the good news now.

This letter here is sent to the Romans which they are Gentiles there. And when we look at the gospel of God, we see that that is an introduction for the, for the Gentiles to be included in being children of God, because God's chosen people in the Old Testament is Israel. But God here is sending Paul one. Who has been transformed, one who has a history of persecuting the church. He is not Ben, was not perfect. But he is now submitting to be a servant of Jesus Christ, the anointing of God. Now, we know that when we look at Jesus, the Christ. This is the way that God has given us a way that we can get back in the right relationship with him. This is the only way that we can get our sins.

Forgiven. And we can get cleansed and we can get born again and have a new life. Just like Paul, you don't week, we can do something different. Now, we can be a part of the Gospel of God, or the kingdom of God, the family of God, Sons and Daughters of God. So we have we have here. That Paul one who has been transformed from a free man willingly. Do a servant of Jesus Christ, the son of God, the savior of the world, according to John 3:16. God. So loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. All right. He's the only begotten son of Our Father, which is in heaven. That if we believe in him, this is it. This is where I faith is anchored. We will not perish. But we can have everlasting life. So this is the this is the place where we have to make a decision. Do you want a parish meaning dealing with the wrath of God? Or do you want to accept? The Redemptive power of Jesus, the Christ who have completed his work on the cross of Calvary and died and was buried. But was resurrected with all power in his hand and see. Now the message that Paul is going to be sent as an apostle, to spread the good news. The gospel of God is now going to be shared so that everybody can be included as John 3:16 Says God, so loved the world. That's everybody. So we have a turning point here and we're going, we want to see what Ashley God has given us. This is, this is what we want to see. We want to see what what has been included in this amazing gift that God has given us and we want to and we want to share. We don't just want to keep it to ourselves. We want to share it. Want you want some everybody else to have a part of it. Numbers to and says, which he had promised to, for, By His prophets, in the Holy scriptures. Now, when you see the prophets here. We're now bringing in the Old Testament. And we're showing the consistency of the word of God that this has been a plan all along, you know, to bring in everybody. Cuz God he he he created everybody, he loves the whole world, you know, but his way of doing things it, it was Israel's going to be my chosen people. And then, he shows through his relationship with Israel. How we should have a relationship with him and what happens when we're not obedient. So he gives a a picture or really a movie of What? It's like to have a relationship with Our Father, which is in heaven. What are some of the consequences? What are some of the pitfalls that we may encounter? Because don't look down on is real because we just saying there's some things that we are going to encounter in life that is going to cause us to stumble if we don't pay attention. That's why I says it says be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So we, we can't allow The Temptations of this world to distract us. So that we will anger God, because of the evil and wicked choice that we have made. It doesn't mean that he doesn't love us, but he don't love to send that. We have chosen to be slaves to, to submit to, to allowed to work through our members that we use our Things to glorify. So we basically have made those things as our God. So here, we see that the Old Testament, according to scriptures the word of God. Do we see that? According to the word of God of old, in the Old Testament, were inspired writers. The prophet, he has said, This is what this is a promise. This is what's going to happen. And in here we are we are stepping into the realities of God, according to his word. So we see that it did not only is she what we see about bringing the Old Testament, but it shows that we can trust the scriptures because they're being fulfilled. And in God is manifesting what he has said from Old & in. He's letting me come forth now. Now, this is what he's talking about. Vs. Three forces concerning his son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the Flesh and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection, from the dead soap. We just had Resurrection Sunday. And if Jesus didn't get up. Then that means that. What was promised a for By His prophets in the Holy scriptures? It's fake. It means nothing. Because it is not completing what it said. The Old Testament is it it was, it was words were spoken and they were manifested in the New Testament. The new agreement, the old agreement in the new agreement. That's just like if I tell you that I'm going to do something. And then I do nothing. Did those words mean nothing? You can say, all he lied to me or maybe I couldn't do it. Something happened that I wasn't able to do it, but whatever the case maybe but I didn't do it. It didn't happen. If it's if it fell to the ground and produces nothing, but we know that the word of God will not return to him void that whatever. He sent it out to do, it will accomplish that. And see, this is what God is showing his head. If not only is he saying it, but he is doing and he is backing it up with with action. So we see here, the resurrection from the dead is where the power of God is in our showing the power of God, through Jesus, to Christ for our benefit centers, The Condemned You know, because of but the sins that we have chosen to partake of what we see how this letter hear that, that Paul is sending to the wrong. He is saying that that this is a manifestation concerning his son Jesus on. Jesus Christ. So we so let the anointing of God. The Eternal one is here, our Lord mean that we are shifting from the Roman government being in charge now. Yes, you must obey, the rule that you have over the government. You must follow the rules, but In the spirit. Jesus. The Christ. He is our Lord. He is the one that has given us the ability to not walk in the flesh, but walk in the spirit, has given us the ability to walk by faith and not by sight. And has given us the ability to know that we are in the world, but we're not of the world. So this is very important because if you don't understand what it is, that Is going on in your life or in and where you be long after you have given your life over to back over to the Lord to be back in the right relationship with him so that we can be Sons and Daughters of his. We can we can be a part of the adoption that he he has made through Jesus the Christ and now looking at things through an eternal view as you did with your life, now it it gives us here also in this scripture. It takes us through the flesh into the spirit. It says, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holding this, the holy spirit. So it shows us we have a physical attribute, but I place of power is in the spirit. Once we have given ourselves back over to God, you know, and Aunt has surrendered and and has done what Paul is doing and and come to be a servant of Jesus the Christ. So when we turn our lights back over to the Lord and we tell him Lord, I am completely yours, whatever you want to do. However, you want to do, whatever you want to leave me into whatever you want me to to go. What, whatever my part is to building your kingdom. This is what I will do that. Let's just look at this a little bit, a little closer. Now we see here cuz this is verse three cuz Ernie his son. Jesus Christ. Our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. This is the young car, native word of God. We see that the the Eternal Word of God, which is Jesus the Christ. It is coming in to be through the, the, the bloodline of David, okay to get to the flesh. This is how we have the Immaculate Conception. We have the Virgin birth to Mary and, and subsequently the life of the death of Berlin Reservoir. None of our Lord and Savior. Jesus, the Christ. So we see that that this was coming from the old. This is we see it moving on and in and we see that the gospel is opening the door to everybody and it says he addresses verse 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according the spirit of Holiness by the resurrection from the dead. So we see that the the power of the Resurrection. Because the word of God in the, in the profits, in the scripture said that they would be one coming. And that he would suffer things. And that he would be crucified and he would die but he will be resurrected with all power in his hands. Busy and gives us confidence that we can believe in the word of God. And we can we can walk according to the power of God in his word. Now, verses 5 through 7 and says by whom we have received Grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name. Among whom are you also the call of Jesus Christ to all that? Be in Rome, beloved of God, Called to be Saints, grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Now.

God is trying to not trying. He is bringing everybody into Christ. This is the meeting place that we can go to and we are equal. This is according to the divine plan of God. This is where all nations. Everybody. Give me. Now we see him verse 5 & 6 by whom we have received Grace and apostleship that we receive that through Jesus to Christ. Through. The work of God. According to what the Holy Spirit has done through Resurrection from the dead, as well as what was said, in the old, through the prophets, in the Holy scriptures. So we see the consistency and we see the move of God as he works his way to bring the promise. To everybody who wanted. Because it's your choice to choose it. You don't have to choose. It is his God, so loved the world in John 3:16. God. So loved the world that whoever believed it. So I don't have to believe you don't have to believe, but if you choose to believe, if you choose to not want to continue to be relying on your flesh or on this car in the world and and you want to be led by the holy spirit of God, which will resurrect you because if we are still centers and not stay, then we dead and I sense. So now he will resurrect is he'll give us new site as he has given Paul new site. He will give us New Direction. He'll give us new purpose. It will give us new guidance, you know, we'll be able to process things differently that we deal with in our day-to-day lives.

We will, we will focus to be concerned about. What does God think about this decision that I have. I have to make it whatever it might be.

NC now. You are walking on the path of Victory. Now, you are walking on, on, on, on the path of prosperity because he, sometimes we, we think that Prosperity is about how much do I have in, you know, of tangible thing? And you may you may get some of those things. But first things first, you know, I need my spirit like to be strong. I need my relationship with God. It says the grace that free gift and we talked about free. We went through what was given so that we understand that. Yes, it was free, but it did cost. To redeem of that, Redemptive power that price that was paid so that it can be that we can be back in the right relationship with Our Father, which is in heaven. So that we can have access to the exclusive things of God that are available for the Sons. And Daughters of God. Did this is where we wanted. This is where we want to go. So this is what Paul is writing this letter because in my research and says, you know, what shows that Paul didn't start this church? The church was there but he was calling too. He was writing this letter to encourage them to show them, you know, the inclusiveness of God. That it as well as nudge. I would Israel brothers and sisters to let them know that it's all right to come on and let us all Gather in Christ. Now some of reluctant to accept Jesus. The Christ, you know, what time is still available and in God is it a? He has the power to work on but the Gentiles will come in, you know, as In A Gadda use it as a jealousy movement in NM bring in our brothers and sisters, a real, you know, because we want to be in Christ by faith. All right. Being obedient to God, all nations. Not far, I would need before his name. You see this. This is God. Name on the line, This Is God word on the life. Just like when his word, he incarnated word Jesus. The Christ came to die for our sins. It didn't the word of God with which is Jesus. The Christ was was killed on the cross. He died on the cross. The cruise was the instrument of torture torture. The crucifix was laid in a grave. Now, excuse me, if the word of God didn't get up or we got to His name, don't mean nothing. Now. We can't rely on the word of God. If he didn't get up. We cannot rely on the name of God as having powers. We wouldn't be able to utilize description as I weapons of warfare. So that we can pull down strongholds. We wouldn't be able to do that. Because the word didn't get up. Jesus wouldn't he didn't get up if he didn't get up, if he if the power of God would have ended right there. Then we would have had the problem. It would have been nothing that we could have presented to God. To forgive us for I said Butt Rally we wouldn't be thinking about God. We've been doing when we was just total chaos, we do whatever we want to do, you know, just keep sending it on until cuz maybe tomorrow I might be dead. So I'm going to enjoy myself today and I don't care. Nothing about nothing. I'm going to do whatever I want to do, but He got up. And now we got grease. We got a possible ship. We got something that we can be obedient to. We can walk by faith and not by sight All Nations and it is invited. And this is a movement. That's that's a for the name of God. That this is what it's all about and verse six is among whom are you also the cause of Jesus Christ. We see that all

I am so grateful that God is not leaving anyone out. I want for my brother's my sister's, the same thing that I have for myself newness of life. I want them to be able to think differently. I want them to be able to have a better quality of life. I want them to be able to see the value of who they are. I want them to be able to recognize the gifts that God has given them so that they are able to perfect them and they're able to glorify God with what they're doing. That this is what my hope is just as the word of God and see when you when you give your life to the Lord, you take on the the the mission and the will of God. You want what he that's what it is. You know, you you want to see what God want to see and you want to do, what it is that you need to do so that you can do your part to help the word of God to be manifest. According to what he says in his work. And that is that is what Jesus, the Christ, the anointed of God, Jesus, the the begotten, the only begotten son about Father, which is in heaven. He was an eternity wasn't bothering, nobody had done nothing wrong, you know, and enjoy the presence of the Father, which is in heaven. Now, here is the word of God is going to come down and put on simple flat. Leaving a prestigious and comfortable environment, and come down and get something that is condemned. Which is our bodies and our lives because we are sinners and take on the filth of the world. All of our sins. That is what Jesus came to do. And it's because of the love of God being shown through him. This is the sacrifice that he has me and is still making because that what he has done on the cross on a crowd, when you just think about it. It is for me. It's like a refresh. It helps me to stay committed in and dedicated to the will of God, you know, it helps me to really be reminded of what has been given for me. Nnnn, the opportunity that has been offered to me and the things that I am able to do now because of Jesus, the Christ, you know, being willing just like Paul, he willingly became a servant of Jesus Christ and where Jesus willingly gave up his prestigious position and came on down here and in and did what he needed to do. And so now the work of Jesus the Christ. It calls you it, beckons you. It it's because because of what you know about him, that's why it's so important to have a familiarity of the scriptures. You, you need to have a relationship with God. So that you understand what Ashley is going on that that the Bible is just more as more than just a book. Oh, yeah, it is. It is, it is a live. It is a path. It is it is a place of comfort. When you when you need comfort. It is in his tools so that you can perform the things that you need to do in your life. It is answers for questions. That you may come about that. You need. Any question that you need may need answered. This is the cold. This is an all-inclusive book. This this this is a way of life that everybody. Can be obedient to and they can experience. Living in Eternal way in this car and then his car in the world. This is what we saw. Jesus Christ, do He was full of. Pull up the godhead. You see came down and walk the earth and did it perfectly with no sin. And then went and took on the sins of the world on the cross of Calvary. This is what causes us to see the love of God. See the dedication of Jesus, the Christ, the word of God to see the commitment of the word of God, Jesus, the Christ, the anointed of God to see that it is focused. This is what's calling us, you know, and and and once he is resurrected, he got all power in his hand and not the keep was up. But he want to give it to us. You won't answer if you want to share in it. Just like he did with Adam in the beginning. I don't, wasn't he wasn't helpless. It wasn't powerless. He was an impotent individual, you know, he had purpose, you don't. And he was given a position that the creation of God recognized. They knew who Adam was, they knew that he he was representing our Eternal Father which is in heaven and he knew they knew it has power. And see, this is what you want to have now.

But you must maintain that position. So ask Jesus to Christ calls us. As Paul write this letter to the Gentiles in Rome, the let him know that if they're being called in the gospel of God, you know, the good news it being called. Come on in. Good morning, you included. Yeah, you included. you part of, God playing. He want you. To come in. Verse 7, through all that being wrong, but love to God, Called to be Saints. Okay, you let them know. Come on, Inn. This is for you, too. This is not just for Israel. For the Jews is, for the Jews. And the Gentiles, anybody who want to be obedient to God, who want to be a servant of God, who want to give up their life and pick up the life that God has for you. Who want Jesus to be your lord. He says grace to you and peace from God. Our Father father meeting that we have a common.

I could have said we we we we are the same family. We're not different. We might, we might live A different place with my look different. You know, we we, we might have a different language, but in the spirit, We all the same. We all the same, there is no difference and he says, and the Lord Jesus Christ, The Gospel. Okay, that that your sins as a gentile can be forgiven through Jesus. The Christ also, just as it is for the Jews first. That is for everybody. You know, that this free gift is for everybody who wanted. All right, and it is a piece. From God because if I don't get forgiven, you don't get forgiven for your sins and you continue to walk on this Earth and then one day you stop breathing. And your time is up. And you know, that you have not taken care of the number one dead that you need to take care of that. You might have an insurance policy. You and you might have all your bank account set up. So whoever you want to be the beneficiary of them, they can have access to it cuz they names is there, you know, but You have not dealt with your sin. Which means that you're Our Father, which is in heaven, is not satisfied and pleased with our life and that we cannot live a life in his presence because we are sinners. And because God is righteousness with you. We will be unrighteous. He can't be in his presence and that we have to suffer, we will perish. But see when you have the Peace of knowing that through Jesus. The Christ is completed work. The accepted Ransom. Of the father for our sins that we being covered in the blood of the Lamb, that God no longer see us, but he see the work of Jesus. The Christ. His as Commodus. His incarnated words has has covered us. His eternal purpose is in action. And now, you can have peace. Knowing hey, what if I died today? All right, if I died tomorrow, okay, you know, so when I say that to him and, you know, I ain't ready to go now that life and you must understand that because it's at some point that's going to happen. I don't know when everybody want to have a long life and I'm not saying if you walk around, you don't mind that I'm talking about just be ready when God is ready, because he is in control. You don't have control in it. I don't know how much time I had. I've never gotten them. Gave me a peek. At my at my clock, is it looked as the day? That's going to happen for you? I don't know that. And you don't know what either, but I know that is. So point. This is going to take place. So I need to be where I need to be physically and spiritually spiritually, so I can be living the way I need to be living physically. Because greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world. So I need to be make sure that I got things in order, the way it needs to be. So when it is my time.

Then I don't have to be worried about it. I don't have to be struggling you know, and and living a life and telling all my God, you know, I hope this ain't if this ain't the day today, you know, I got some things I want to do. You know, I I I just hope that this guy don't want, don't want me today, you know, but see the description said, this is the day that the Lord has made and he tells me to rejoice, as well as you and be glad in it. That mean, I don't need to be worried about that. Once I have committed myself and dedicated myself and turn myself back over to Our Father, which is in heaven. Let Yoshi, we want his will to be done on Earth as it is in heaven. So as a servant, as a slave of God. Whatever you want me to do. How you want me to do it? How you want me to respond? What you want me to say, where you want me to go. I'm going to do it. So now, we now our lives is under the control. Jesus. The Christ that this is this is what this is what you want. You, you want to make sure that your life is under control of Jesus the Christ. And when you are there, Oh, man, you got peace. And as we see here Paul, he is saying that, you know. Gentiles, you are welcome. You are, welcome you. A part of the promise of God. That was given. To his chosen, people is real. And that same Grace, that's extended to them so that they can be forgiving of this sins which some have not accepted, but we going to continue to pray for our Jewish brothers and sisters. Did they will accept Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the promised Messiah that we spoke about in the profits, which is what they are. Well, acquainted with the Old Testament, that they can come into the New Testament, but gospel. Of Jesus, the Christ, the good news. then now, we all can come together in that one place that designated place that Holy place that loving place that forgiving place that place where we are concerned about one another, that we want to let the power of God lead, our lies and that we are more concerned, about worshiping praising God, our Father, which is in heaven, then the things of this Earth or ourselves or whatever else that we choose to make a God out of Thank you, Jesus. What? This is where we are moving. This is when we look at the epistle, the letter of of Romans that Paul is pandilla. We want to look and we going to see some very interesting and enlightening.

Items and features about what we have received in Jesus the Christ and you know through this Resurrection Sunday that we had that has just passed, you know with some may have forgotten about it, but we need to keep this on my mind all the time. Because that is the principal event without that without the resurrection of Jesus Christ and none of this is this is this is a nothing. This is garbage. It's fake. But because he got up. And God kept his word. His word became good. Well, it is always was good, but he showed us his number show you. How much do you want me to show you what I'm talkin about? I'm going to tell you and then I'm going to show you. It's going to be mad. If it there's going to be some fruit here. And see that's what we want in our lives. We want fruit. We you should be a, if I am a changed individual, you should see my life should be different. I shouldn't be the same. You should see some fruit in my life. You should see different things happen in my life. I should make different decision on my walk should be different. If you hear people say, yeah. And you walking on the path of Life righteous to me, meaning that the decisions that I make, how I view things, how I process things, the things that I desire, the fight in my mind should be different because it's a battle of the things that I remember that. I used to do what I used to be, it's still wants to exist. But I have submitted myself until the Lord and, you know, and I'm going to resist the devil so he can flee from me. That's what the scripture says I can do. so, I am going to Employ or, or, or give give the word of God. The go ahead. Go ahead. I'm your servant. You lead? I don't want to leave. So you let the word of God, be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. God you do it. Whatever you say, let your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. I Surrender. Completely. Fully persuaded that. This is the right choice that you need to make because it is beneficial for you now. And Later. See, that's why you ain't got. You had a piece now. You got to be worried about when I'm going to die, you know, you're going to do it, but I can rest in the Lord. I don't have to be concerned about that. Because I know I'm in the right relationship with God. I've been strengthening my relationship with God by being in his word spending time with him, being mindful of him all the time. What if the worst say pray without ceasing? Why would you pray without ceasing? Cuz someone that you not in a relationship with someone that you don't believe in has the power to handle What you talkin about? What do you petition in God? You don't need me. You you asking him for guidance? Why would I do that without ceasing? If I don't believe?

That he is able. And see when you this is where you want to get. You want to make sure you said whatever I do. I want God to show me how to do it. What stop me from doing it cuz it's not something that he wants me to do. And it's in, this is this is what it's all about. So. I pray that this this introductory to Romans, which is Romans chapter 1 verses 1 through 7. It has helped us. To see God in a different way.

And it has given us.

The ability. To do things in a way that God will be pleased with. So, I hope you enjoy the balance of your day, and I hope that this Podcast for multi app. How to change Ministry in myself.
