and savior Yeshua hamashiach amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen hallelujah thank you Elder yes sir thank you so earlier this week I received a ride from Elder Connelly my wife deah was in with Mr Minister Tilly and they were out Min uh ministering to somebody outside outside our home so they drove over there they went to pray with (02:21) somebody this was last Sunday after the spot after the Sabbath rather he picked me up around 3:15 from my house after he picked up his son brother Damian from work and the three of us went to the Kent kitchens home of Hope Almighty y that is some home and ever since brother Damon has been here we have Tre treasured him yes he is a treasure amen yes sir amen then after picking up the boys we picked up Sister Elizabeth Brody when we were all together Elder Connelly prayed for safe travel and gave thanks just like he did just now amen for the (03:09) always great Provisions in our lives I am so blessed when elder connley prays in all things that we have many people in this body Believers when they pray I feel touched by the spirit and I know the almighty God must be hearing their prayer yes I don't know if there's a more correct way to pray and by the way when I say I love the way he prays I'm not jealous of it none of us should be jealous about anything some of us know how to pray a little better but God is listening to our hearts not necessarily to our lips (03:45) although we need to give praise from our lips Almighty Yahweh like pastor says it's not necessarily the best way to to pray the same prayer over and over and over you know which one I'm talking about father Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name what's his name Yahweh Yahweh absolutely we know that Hallelujah so sometimes we get caught up saying the same prayer I know I do sometimes I pray the same thing and it's not repetition is not always better playing praying from your heart is better so brother bishop and sister uh Wanda they (04:35) pray all the time and my goodness they are they're excellent prayers especially her she's Almighty y she prays from her heart not that he doesn't but she just does a fantastic job there's so many people right here that have wonderful prayers there's so many people out there that have wonderful prayers they are true prayer warriors now I would be remiss if I told you who those prayers were there's so many of them out there so many right here in this room that pray so well right from their heart gives us all a little touch of the (05:22) spirit prayers can be a simple prayer of thanks prayers of healing for others or interceding forgiveness repenting of a wrongdoing if you're not praying you need to start that's right amen ERS pray out loud amen Angels can't hear you unless you speak a prayer amen hallelujah hallelujah if you're uncomfortable praying just start that's it it's all I can say just start yes sir start from your heart it might be a simple prayer but just start so after Elder con I finished praying sister Elizabeth wanted to pray also and (06:06) she prayed that she needed a fertile mind to receive yahweh's word hallelujah and you know I told her that she was prophesying because that's what I was going to talk about this morning that's right I remember that do you remember that sister Brody I remember that well so our Gardens are our mind we need to keep our Gardens Weed Free I've talked about our weeds in our garden before just in case you forgot or you missed it our Gardens is our mind between those two trees the good and the bad that's right we need to keep our (06:45) garden free of weeds trim around those trees keep the weeds out hallelujah hallelujah so there's a quick refresher of it we need to tend to our minds daily even by the hour if we let the GR weeds grow too big because we didn't tend to our garden or our mind they're harder to pull out because they have taken root weeds are like bad thoughts that creep in our minds I call them GMS or genetically modified seeds you've heard of GMOs right we're talking about two different things that makes sense an example that might be that someone said something (07:32) that wasn't what you expected and you became offended wow maybe it was gossip that you overheard and you let it fester in your mind get those weeds out yes sir amen sometimes in an effort to pull the weeds you're pulling the weeds you can't tell the difference between the good thoughts and the bad thoughts because maybe it's somebody that's giving praise to you for an unnown known reason maybe it's something on their agenda amen but so you got to you got to make the difference there is it something that somebody's just flattering you with (08:05) words and they really didn't mean it or is it true to their heart I would hope it's the latter amen when thoughts spring up you must determin good thoughts and bad thoughts Elder would you mind reading uh 2 Corinthians 10 and 5 2 Corinthians chap 10:5 we demolish arguments and every pretention that sets itself up against the knowledge of Yahweh and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Messiah absolutely take captive those bad thoughts discern them what's good and what's bad because we don't know (08:52) sometimes prayer is the key prayer is pray for discernment of your thoughts if you're messing with somebody else's Garden go to them and if you need to repent sometimes we don't know that we've hurt somebody's feelings that's right and um sometimes we just we just go about our own lives and don't even worry about it but then maybe we should oh did I say something wrong after we've removed some of the weeds and prepared our Gardens with prayer making it fertile right Elizabeth amen got to be fertile we have what are we (09:35) planting are we planting seeds to harvest the fruit of spirit are we planting seeds to harvest the fruit of obedience we got to be we got to be obedient to what we're doing here obedient to Yahweh Elder would you mind reading Matthew 13 20 24- 2 Matthew 13: 24 and 25 Yeshua told them another Parable the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field but while everyone was sleeping the enemy came and SED weeds among the wheat and he went away that's what I was talking about earlier we know what the enemy is the (10:21) devil and he wants to put GMS into our mind remember what GMS is genetically modified seed seed is the word his word and we don't we can't take we can't take that into our mind root out those bad seeds yes sir Elder would you mind reading Matthew 13 26-29 but when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop then the tears also appeared so the Servants of the owner came and said to him sir did you not seow good seed in your field how then does it have tears he said to them an enemy has done this the servant said to (11:06) him do you want us then to go and gather them up but he said no lest while you gather up the tears you also uproot the wheat with them protect your mind amen know what you're pulling amen amen sometimes people say good things about about you only to further their agenda yeah amen don't lash out at them love them but know who they are yes sir math uh Elder would you mind reading Matthew 1330 yes you need your eyes on I need my eyes on sorry about that that's quite all right Matthew Chapter 13 Verse

into my barn so don't let Satan take over your garden let yah way heal deal with it pray pray pray pray don't let Satan spread lies or half-truths about you let your father in Heaven know what is happening prayer is the key love people that want to look down at you if you need to keep them arms length it's okay but love them (13:03) don't talk bad about them don't be on their level amen don't

Summary

LIVE – FHM Morning Manna – February 1, 2025 is a devotional teaching centered on maintaining a spiritually healthy mind through prayer, discernment, and obedience to Yahweh's word. The speaker begins by emphasizing sincere prayer and the importance of praying from the heart rather than relying entirely on repeated expressions. The central illustration compares the human mind to a garden. Good thoughts and spiritual truths are presented as beneficial seeds, while gossip, offense, resentment, and deception are compared to weeds. Through 2 Corinthians 10:5, the speaker emphasizes taking thoughts captive and bringing them into obedience to Messiah. The teaching then develops Matthew 13:24–30, using the wheat and tares to illustrate the importance of recognizing harmful influences without allowing them to destroy what is good. Philippians 4:8–9 provides practical direction for concentrating on truth, purity, righteousness, and other praiseworthy qualities. Luke 22:31–32 emphasizes prayer and strengthening fellow believers, while Hosea 10:12 describes preparing the heart as a farmer prepares soil for planting. The message concludes with Isaiah 55:10–13, affirming that Yahweh's word accomplishes His purposes and encouraging believers to cultivate receptive hearts and minds.

Core doctrine

Matthew 13:24–30 — The speaker teaches that the believer's mind must be cultivated like a garden, with Yahweh's word planted as good seed and harmful thoughts, offenses, gossip, and deception recognized as weeds that threaten spiritual growth. By applying Yeshua's parable of the wheat and tares to personal spiritual discipline, the speaker emphasizes the importance of prayer, discernment, and taking every thought captive in obedience to Messiah. Philippians 4:8–9 provides the standard for cultivating thoughts that are true, pure, just, lovely, and praiseworthy, while Hosea 10:12 illustrates the need to prepare the heart to receive Yahweh's word. The speaker teaches that continual prayer, obedience, and spiritual attentiveness produce a fruitful life and protect believers from destructive influences. The interpretation of the wheat and tares as competing thoughts within an individual's mind, rather than the children of the kingdom and the wicked one identified in Matthew 13:37–39, is the speaker's devotional application of the passage.
