The Outside Man

The topic of this program is "The Outside Man" and it refers to being outside of God's will without realizing it. When you are outside of God's will, it is easier for the enemy to attack you. Many people, including supposed men and women of God, are making blasphemous statements without realizing they are outside of God's protection. It is important to recognize when you have fallen and take steps to get back in right standing with God. If you are unaware of the problem, you will not seek help. It is like an alcoholic who doesn't believe they have a problem. There is a story of a man who kept experiencing negative events in his relationships but couldn't see the pattern. Being outside of God's will means you are unprotected and vulnerable to the enemy's attacks. It is important to repent and get back in position with God. Jesus is the answer to every problem and will guide and direct you through these turbulent times. Good day, good day. Welcome to another Joe Radio Live program on the Joe Media Network. I'm your boy, JC Vibes, if you're tuning in for the first time, special welcome to you and welcome to each and every one of our loyal listeners, wherever you may be listening from. This topic is entitled The Outside Man. Topic for this program, The Outside Man. Now, for those of you in Trinidad and Tobago, and by extension, the Caribbean, and even some folks in other countries, you know, may know, you may be familiar with that term and that kind of thing. And for those of you in Trinidad and Tobago, especially, you might be wondering, what kind of topic is this? All right. So basically, the outside man has to do with when you are outside of the will of God and you don't realize it, right? Which is a very dangerous place to be, right? And there are many people that are outside of the will of God and don't even realize it. And that is sad. All right? That is really, really sad. Because when you are outside of the will of God, you are in a place where it actually makes it easier for the enemy to get to you. Right? It makes it easier for the enemy to get to you. I want to, I want to, I want to, you know, there are so many, especially in this time that we are living in, there are so many supposed to be, I'll say it like that, supposed to be, or supposedly, men and women of God. And you hear all kinds of statements. You hear some really demonic stuff, right? Some really, really demonic stuff. There is one individual, I'll leave it like that, who made a statement. His name is Jamal Bryant. And he made a statement stating that Jesus was, for 85% of Jesus' ministry, he was out of order. And I remember the first time I heard that, I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe that guy said that. I really, really couldn't believe that he said that. And a lot of people are making some really crazy, blasphemous statements, right? And you see, when you're outside of the will of God, you are not able to hear certain things. You're not able to receive certain things. And then what makes it worse is when you don't know that you're outside of the will of God. So, you're not, because you don't know, you're not doing anything to try to, you know, get back in position. Get back in rightful position with God. Because you, because that particular individual doesn't even realize that they are outside, they are outside of God's protection, they are outside of a lot of the blessings of God and stuff like that. And so, you leave yourself unprotected and uncovered, you know, and when the enemy comes in, it's like a free for all, because now you step out of God's hedge of protection and now you have made it a lot easier for the enemy to attack you, for the enemy to destroy you even, right? And so, this is what I am talking about when you hear the title for this program, The Outside Man, right? It means someone who, they're not in right standing with God and they don't even realize they're not in right standing with God, right? And so, as usual, we're not going to be long, right? Just food for thought, you know, little nuggets that we give here. I pray for each and every one of us that we will not be the outside man. That we, I mean, we're human and we don't use that as an excuse, but we are human. It is reality, it is fact. And so, from time to time, you know, we will fall, right? It's not supposed to be intentional, but from time to time, we will fall. But we must be able to recognize when we fall. We must be able to recognize when we are wrong. We must be able to recognize when we have stepped out of the will of God and do our best to rectify that problem and do our best to reposition ourselves in God and get back in right standing with God. And the only way we can do that is when we are aware that we are outside, when we are aware, right? If you don't know you have a problem, you will never try to get help, because you don't even realize you have a problem. And I'm speaking generally here for all of us. This is for me as well as for every listener. I'm talking to us, right? So, you know, I like to use different analogies to get my point across. And a simple one, in the case of an alcoholic, if an alcoholic does not believe that he or she has a problem, they will never try to seek help, right? They will never go to AA, they will never, you know, ask God, Lord, you know, take this thing away from them, because they don't believe that they have a problem, right? And I remember some years ago, a friend of mine told me about, and this is a real life situation I'm going to tell you here, this is a true story, a friend of mine told me about a gentleman that was experiencing some stuff, excuse me, and he didn't realize what was going on. And what would happen with this gentleman is that he would have a girlfriend, and the relationship would last about a year or so. And when the relationship reached or approached a year, something would happen to his current girlfriend, right? Something would happen to the girlfriend, either they would get sick, or they would die or some kind of thing like that. And my friend and others who were recognizing what was going on, they started to notice a pattern, which he was not recognizing, because it happened with multiple girlfriends that he had, multiple people that he was in relationship with. And after recognizing the pattern, they decided to speak to him about it. And sadly, he did not believe what they were saying, he didn't think he had a problem, right? And most likely it would have been a spiritual problem. And so that is a classic example, right, of when you're outside of the will of God and you don't realize you're outside, you have a problem and you don't realize you have a problem, right? And because you don't realize you have a problem, you're not going to try to get help, whatever help you need. And so I just wanted to come on and share that and, you know, give that little food for thought there. Here's something to think about, something for me to think about. Because from time to time, we will do stuff that we should not do, because we are human. But the thing is, you get back up and you go again. So you realize you're outside, repent and get back in position, right position with God. That is what all of us are supposed to do. And Lord, even now, I ask you to touch each and every one of us, especially those of us who may be outside of your will. I pray that Lord, for those of us who do even realize we're outside, especially, that you would open our eyes to see what you want us to see, to hear what you want us to hear, our ears to hear what you want us to hear, our minds to understand what you want us to understand, our mouths to speak what you want us to speak, and our hearts to receive who and what you want us to receive. Let us never be comfortable with being outside of your will, O God. Let us never be comfortable in sin. But Lord, make us uncomfortable when we're outside of your will, so that we will know something is wrong. We will be able to recognize something is wrong. I rebuke the spirit of blindness and every demonic spirit working against your people. Every listener listening right here, Lord, you know the needs of all of us. We all have our needs. Father God, I thank you for supplying all of our needs, just as how your word says. And I pray that those who don't know you will come to know you as Lord and Savior. And even right now, I take this opportunity, if you are listening to this and you don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I want to encourage you to accept him today. It's very quick, simple, and easy. All you have to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. And live your life according to the word of God. Live your life according to what the Bible says. And by the way, if you don't have a Bible, get a King James Version Bible. Begin to read and study the word of God and allow God to just direct your steps. Just to direct your steps. Right? Make that decision if you haven't done it already. Make that decision now, sooner, rather than later. Right? All over the world, we are seeing people dropping like flies. I mean, it's just bad news after bad news every single day. But there is no reason to be hopeless and dismayed and despondent because Jesus is the answer to every problem. He is the solution to every problem. Right? He is the solution. He will guide you. He will direct you. In these turbulent times, in this crazy world that we are living in, Jesus will direct you. He will guide you. His Holy Spirit will just lead you. Alright?
