#155 LTLT S5 EP 29: Jesus Does Hear, Believe On Him

Right here on God's Diamonds in the Rough , we have intertwined learning to live in truth , which I used to do on Facebook Live , along here with our God's Diamonds in the Rough podcast , amen . So therefore , you get two for the price of one . Come on somebody , hallelujah , price of one . Come on somebody , hallelujah , amen .

So , for time's sake , I hope y'all are ready , because I am ready , amen , ready to get into the word . I hope that you got your Bibles . If you're driving , hope you're intently listening to what is coming forth , amen . So before we get into the word , let's pray . Father , we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy .

Thank you , god , for allowing us this time , this day , to get into your word . I just pray for every hearer that is here , every diamond , god , that you would bless them in this time , that they would get what it is that they need all of us .

That we would get what we need , father , I just pray to reveal what we need to see , what we need to hear , what we need to understand , that we might be able to carry yet another nugget of wisdom forth . Until we make it home to you , father , we bless your name and we bless your people .

We pray this prayer and we ask it all in your precious son's name , jesus Christ , we do pray Jesus , jesus , jesus in Jesus name . We do pray jesus , jesus , jesus in jesus name . We do pray . Amen , amen , hallelujah , all right , y'all . So we left off . Uh , first , john , chapter five . Uh , today we're gonna be picking in verse 13 . Verse 13 .

Yeah , it's been powerful . Oh , we're to the end now , hallelujah .

If this is your first time tuning in , this is my prayer that you will go back to the beginning of this great book , because what the Lord has led me to do here is to go book by book and verse by verse , and I don't believe it'll do you any justice to just come at the end or come in in the middle .

You should definitely go back to the very beginning of the book , whatever book it is , and this happens to be the first book that the Lord led me to in regards to learning to live in truth here at God's Diamonds in the Rough . Amen . So I suggest you going back to the beginning of the book . But you know you be led by the Spirit . Yeah , amen .

So here we are , verse 13 . We've been talking a lot about , if you love God and you know God and you know his son , that we have victory because we have overcome the world . We're overcoming the world because we believe in Jesus Christ . We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God .

That's really what I got a lot out of chapter five thus far is about the fact what comes out of believing Amen Comes . What comes out of believing that Jesus Christ is the son of God , amen . And so we're here at 13 , ready to wrap it up and go on to the next book . Yeah , so 13, .

He said these things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the son of God , that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the son of God . Okay , so , as John is writing this book , he says I'm writing these things . Is writing this book . He says I'm writing these things . He says so that you will .

He says these things have I written to you that believe ? All right , so he says so , that he said I'm talking to the ones that believe on the name of the son of God , which is Jesus , right , and he says not only that , that ye may know that you have eternal life . Amen , you have eternal life . We have eternal life , eternal life with him , amen .

So when we die and leave this earth , we won't die , our soul won't die . Amen . We'll go to a place of peace , amen , a place of resting . Hallelujah . We will be joined with Jesus on the right hand , amen . And we will be there with him , with the Father , with the Holy Spirit . Amen . Because we know that hell is a place of torment . Amen .

You don't want to live in eternity in hell ? Inhale , yeah , because it never ends . Yeah , I mean , you use this analogy all the time . Imagine being thirsty and it never being fulfilled . That's torment , right . Or being hungry and never getting satisfied , yeah . Or being tired and not being able to go to sleep , yeah . That's the essence of an eternity of torment .

Yeah , we , you know , we , here on this earth , we hate to be tormented , yeah . Whatever brings us pain , whatever brings us suffering , whatever brings us into a place where we're not comfortable . We want it to stop , don't we ? Yeah , we want it to stop .

And so you take that thought and you imagine being in a place where that type of thing , it never stops , it is continuous . I don't want to go there . Hallelujah , I hope you don't . Amen . Come on somebody . So he says that you might have , that you know that you will have eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the son of God .

Why did he repeat it ? So he said look , so you'll believe on the name of the son of God . Why did he repeat it ? So he said look , so you'll believe on the name of the son of God , so you'll know that having the son of God , which is Jesus Christ , is enough . Amen , that his name is enough .

When we say his name , when we go forth in his name , when we are decreeing and declaring a thing in his name , when we command the devil to go and to flee , flee that his name will give us and is everything that we need . Hallelujah , he says and this is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will , he heareth us .

Amen , he says this thing . Look , we believe this and we know this . He says look , we have confidence in him , not in ourselves , not in doing all the right things , not in this , not in that , but in Jesus alone . Amen , he said . Look , we believe this , we believe it , we know .

It is this why we know that when we ask him that if it's in his will , it will come to pass . However , and whenever he desires , amen , I I don't know if you've been in the Word at any time you got to know that the desires that you have in your heart , look and it's aligned with His will , they come from Him . Amen , hallelujah , I believe .

It's 1 to 4 . As a whole , basically , it says that when you got the vision , he said write it down and make it plain so that when people read it they'll run with it . So that just means that whatever God shows , you , write it down . Amen . Look in the book of Proverbs , I believe , and Psalms , I believe .

Somewhere along the line he says whilst that he establishes our thoughts , look , when we give it to him , he'll show you the way , amen . I just kind of put in a couple passages of verses , but they all mean the same thing . It's just a virtuous verses , but they all mean the same thing .

If it's aligned with him , you're going to be able to go forth in him , amen . And when you're going forth in him , you can know that when you ask , he will hear you . Amen , he will hear you , amen . Isn't it amazing how we just ask God for the same thing over and over and over again . I'm sure he heard you the first time , hallelujah .

But see , when we hear him , we got to know that I've asked , he's heard me and in his timing and his will it'll come to pass . Amen . You gotta learn and know that when you talk to him he can hear you . He says and if we know that he hear us , whatsoever we ask , we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him .

So he says , if we know this , that he's hearing us and we know who he is .

So at the end of the day , we know who he is right and we know that his name is the highest Hallelujah , that when we go to him , that because we are connected to him , because we believe in who he is , that number one he's going to hear us and that whatever we ask him , we know that he placed it in our heart to want Amen .

It didn't just come by coincidence , y'all , come on , hallelujah , it did not . He knows exactly what is going on . He gave you the thing I I I'm recently understanding , like really understanding um , a scripture , and I'm just using this . For example , he says your group , your gifts , will make room for you . It'll bring you before great men .

Okay , that is um paraphrase . Okay , my group , my gifts , will make room for me to bring before a great man , great man . Well , what does that mean ? Well , where did the gift come from ? The gift came from him . And he says about that scripture , he says it'll bring you before great men . Okay , that will . And I believe it's another scripture .

I don't know if this is in here . I'm tying the scriptures together but he said they will sow into your bosom . Okay , like I said I don't know if it's the same place as the first verse I talked about , about your hands and all your gifts . I mean , but follow me now . He said look , men will sow into your bosom . You use the gifts that he gave you .

Then he said I'm going to bring you into a place where people and opportunities can serve you or serve the gift . Ok , and here's the thing . Here's the thing . The more we use our gift , the more our gift is perfected , that it goes as far as the spirit desires it to go .

Amen . I am using myself , for example . I have been cooking since I was since I could walk , I probably . I've been cooking since I was like five , six , seven years old . I'm now 40 , 45 , no , I don't know , 46 . I just had a birthday . I'm 46 years old now and I've been cooking all my life .

I've cooked for my brothers and my sister and I went from there cooking for them . I cooked in high school . I worked in the industry of restaurants , from fast food to cooking country clubs to hotels . I've cooked all over the place . I've been in different states , cities cooking . I was able to go to the Olympics in 1996 and serve the media .

I have been able to be in all different types of realms and different places to use my gift . Don't you think that my gift has been perfected ? And it is being perfected . I went to college for two years and I have an associate's degree to get the expertise of my field . Yeah , amen , I didn't get the bachelor's degree I could have but I didn't .

But I have everything that I need to continue to use my gift that it will bring me before men . Hallelujah , why ? Because I asked God for what I needed in that moment . He said use your gift , amen , use your gift . I know that he heard me , or I know that he heard me ? Yeah , I know that he heard me because I'm what ? Using my gift , amen .

He's making a way for me to use my gift . Because I asked him what do I do in this situation that I'm in , he said use your gifts , amen . Hallelujah , ain't nothing to figure out . Use what you already got , jesus , come on , use what you already got , amen . He heard me . When I asked him what do I do , he said use your gifts .

They're going to make room for you . Amen . It's going to put you in a place where the thing that you're asking me for it will be answered , hallelujah . I know that seemed long and I know that seemed a little stretched , but I wanted to make sure that you understood what I'm saying .

Hallelujah , it's that , whatsoever we ask , we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him . We're going to have everything that we need when we put it in his hands , amen . This is why , coming back to the other scripture , he said look , I will establish your steps .

Amen , I will show you what I desire from you , what I purposed you to do in this earth . Amen . He said . Look , when you committed to me , I'm going to show you the steps . Amen . So to establish means to plant and direct your steps is to show you the steps . Amen . Come on somebody . You got to know that Jesus , he's right there with you .

Amen , he's orchestrated how to get you where he wants to take you . My pastor , he said to me a while back . He said when you are where you're supposed to be , god will move heaven and earth to get you where you're supposed to be .

So when you align with the spirit , you align with where God will want you to be , then God himself , he will take you where he wants you to be . Hallelujah , amen . So at the end of the day , jesus is never excluded from what is going on in your life , unless you put him on the outside . Amen . So trusting in him , it is a good thing .

Hallelujah , look , he says . Matter of fact , I'm going to stop right here , and tomorrow we will finish verses 16 through 21 . I thought we would finish today , but for time's sake and just so that on Monday we'll be able to start a brand new chapter and that started on Thursday .

It's going to align just perfectly , so we're going to pick up right there at verse 16 . I hope that you got everything that you needed out of verses 13 to 15 , which basically , is teaching us on today that believing on his name is enough . Believing on his name assures us that he hears us , amen . So let's go ahead and pray .

Father , we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy . Thank you , god , for allowing us this time in your word . Thank you so much for speaking in such a way that we could not miss it . Father , we love you so much and so very grateful and so thankful . We pray in the name of Jesus that your people , god , are fed Amen .

We pray that , whatever the need might be , that you would answer it in the way that you desire , lord . I just lift up my friend right now in the name of Jesus .

Just quickly , I got to lift up my friend , who is going forth to have surgery today , and I just pray that your angels are in camp where she is , that you are in every , any doctor that lays the hand on her , any nurse that attends to her .

I pray in the name of Jesus , because she knows who she is and she'll be listening to this when she's finished with surgery . But , god , I just pray God a covering over her . God , give her husband strength . That's standing by her side . I pray in the name of Jesus for her children , who are there right with her , waiting for the outcome .

I just believe that she's healed already , god , and I just pray God that the blood of Jesus will continue to keep her and protect her , and I just pray that for anybody else who's going through something that I don't know nothing about .

I pray for my brothers and I pray for my sisters all over the world , god , every diamond that you have brought into this world , that their needs will be answered , that you would continue to grant them grace and mercy . Father , we love you so much . We're so grateful . I am so grateful that you give me the opportunity to be a vessel for you .

Father , we love you and we thank you . We pray that this prayer and all of our prayers are pleasing in your sight . In Jesus Christ's name , I do pray . Amen , amen and amen , hallelujah .

So I hope that y'all will come on back with me on Thursday , tomorrow , as we continue to go forth . Hopefully we will finish up . Matter of fact , I know we'll finish up this great , great , great chapter and this great book and be ready to start the next one on Monday . So make sure y'all come on back . Hallelujah .

So much love , so many blessings from me to you . Y'all have a great day and a good night . Amen , amen and amen .
