The heartfelt message delivered by Brother Dre centers on the theme of God's unwavering love, inviting listeners to explore what it means to be loved by the Creator. He begins by establishing a relatable tone, emphasizing his role as a brother in Christ rather than a title-bearing minister. This approach fosters a sense of community among listeners, as he shares insights from Romans 8:35-39, which proclaims that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Brother Dre’s articulation of this scripture offers profound comfort, especially as he reflects on the difficulties many face in understanding their worth in a world that often conditions love on performance and success.
Throughout the episode, Brother Dre uses personal stories to illustrate how God’s love has been a consistent anchor in his life. He poignantly discusses moments of despair and the overwhelming presence of God's love during those times, reminding his audience that they are never alone. The narrative transitions to the importance of recognizing and accepting this love, encouraging listeners to affirm their identity by declaring, "God loves me." This simple yet powerful declaration serves as a catalyst for transformation, prompting individuals to reevaluate their self-worth and the relationships they hold dear.
As the conversation progresses, Brother Dre tackles the often-challenging concept of forgiveness, urging his audience to reflect on their own experiences of hurt and betrayal. He draws parallels between the love God offers and the love we are called to extend to others, challenging the notion of holding grudges while seeking God's mercy. The episode culminates in a compelling invitation for those who may feel distanced from God, offering a path to reconciliation through faith.

Brother Dre:Um, you know, oftentimes you hear me say the same thing when I come on, and I always say, this is brother Dr.
Brother Dre:E on the mic.
Brother Dre:And, you know, a lot of times I say brother, because, quite honestly, I'm not really big on titles.
Brother Dre:For those who don't know, me and my wife, we are in ministry together.
Brother Dre:We've been in ministry for a long time.
Brother Dre:I've been ministering the gospel for quite a while.
Brother Dre:Not saying that I know everything, okay?
Brother Dre:But my point is, a lot of times you'll hear people say, well, this is pastor so and so, and this is bishop so and so, and this is minister so and so.
Brother Dre:And, you know, to each his own.
Brother Dre:I don't have a problem with that.
Brother Dre:But I've always just, you know, just saw myself as.
Brother Dre:Saw myself as you.
Brother Dre:You know, I'm a brother, you know, and so that's why I come on and say, you know, this is brother dre on the mic.
Brother Dre:You know, I'm not real big on titles.
Brother Dre:I'm just not.
Brother Dre:I rather let my work speak for me.
Brother Dre:You know, if I can help somebody, then that's the.
Brother Dre:That's the main goal.
Brother Dre:I keep the main thing, the main thing.
Brother Dre:You understand what I'm saying?
Brother Dre:But I hope that someone is being blessed by what you hear on a weekly basis.
Brother Dre:And hopefully.
Brother Dre:Hopefully we can get to a point where I'm doing this daily.
Brother Dre:But we take baby steps.
Brother Dre:You know, we got to take those baby steps.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:So we are going to get right into the word.
Brother Dre:If you're going to be following me on today, I'm going to be coming from Romans, chapter eight, verse 35 through 39.
Brother Dre:Romans eight, verse 35 through 39.
Brother Dre:Father, all that I do, I do for you.
Brother Dre:I don't do this for any fame.
Brother Dre:I don't do this to make my name great, but I do this to make your name great.
Brother Dre:I only speak because you want your people to be healed.
Brother Dre:You want your people to be set free.
Brother Dre:There are people that are waiting on your message, and I just want to play my small part in delivering your message, delivering the good news.
Brother Dre:Father.
Brother Dre:I'm asking right now for those who are listening under the sound of my voice, that you have your way in their life.
Brother Dre:I thank you, Lord God, that this word should be beneficial to them, that it should be something that they can meditate on day and night.
Brother Dre:We give you name, praise, oh, God.
Brother Dre:I think for testimonies coming forth from this word that people will draw closer to you from this word.
Brother Dre:In Jesus name.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:If you're going to just say this with me, just say, I believe that God's word is true.
Brother Dre:It is the final authority in my life.
Brother Dre:Therefore, everything that God has said concerning me shall come to pass.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:That's our declaration on today.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:Romans, chapter eight, looking at verse 35 through 39.
Brother Dre:And I'm going to be reading from the new living translation, okay?
Brother Dre:So it may read a little different from your Bible app or whatever that you're using to follow along.
Brother Dre:And it says, who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Brother Dre:Shall hardship or trouble or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword, as it is written, for your sake, we face death all day long.
Brother Dre:We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Brother Dre:Know in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Brother Dre:For I am convinced, neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Brother Dre:What I want to tell you on today, the message that I want to give you on today is God loves me.
Brother Dre:Or should I say like this, God loves you.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:But I'm going to personalize it for me.
Brother Dre:God loves me.
Brother Dre:And those who understand what I'm talking about, those who have that testimony, you ought to just say to yourself, God loves me.
Brother Dre:He loves me in my good times.
Brother Dre:He loves me in my bad times.
Brother Dre:He loves me when I'm rich.
Brother Dre:He loves me when I'm poor.
Brother Dre:He loves me when I do right.
Brother Dre:He loves me when I mess up.
Brother Dre:God loves me.
Brother Dre:He loves me more than any woman.
Brother Dre:He loves me more than any man.
Brother Dre:He loves me more than my mother.
Brother Dre:He loves me more than my father.
Brother Dre:God loves me.
Brother Dre:He loves me, uh, when.
Brother Dre:He loves me when he had every right.
Brother Dre:Right to walk away from me.
Brother Dre:God just loved me.
Brother Dre:I want to talk to you about the love of God.
Brother Dre:It's the love of God that I want to talk to you about.
Brother Dre:Because so many times I think it is lost that how much God loves us.
Brother Dre:Oftentimes we want, we.
Brother Dre:We look for God to do certain things for us, and that's what we focus on as far as when it comes to God.
Brother Dre:Oftentimes some of us, we have been raised with the mentality that if we mess up just one time, he's waiting with his hammer, he's waiting with a bolt of lightning just to strike us down.
Brother Dre:But I come to tell you that God just loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:As my mother would say to me, I love you more than words can say.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:That's the God that you serve.
Brother Dre:That's the father that you serve.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:Praise God.
Brother Dre:He loves you beyond all your faults.
Brother Dre:I wish somebody would just say, thank you for loving me, God.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:Thank you for loving me.
Brother Dre:Because if anybody's like me, I didn't deserve it all the time.
Brother Dre:Thank you for loving me.
Brother Dre:Can anybody just think about the times when you felt real low and you had those dark moments in your life, and it seems like everybody deserted you, or no one could comfort you and all of a sudden you felt the love of God.
Brother Dre:There's been so many testimonies that I've heard of people who are on the verge of committing suicide.
Brother Dre:And when man could not help them, they felt the love of God around them, surround them, comforting them from their, you know, in their.
Brother Dre:In their darkest situation.
Brother Dre:That's the kind of love God has for you.
Brother Dre:Can't nobody do you like Jesus.
Brother Dre:I think there's a song that says, can't nobody do me like the Lord.
Brother Dre:Can't nobody do me like Jesus.
Brother Dre:He's my friend.
Brother Dre:And yes, he is a friend indeed.
Brother Dre:God's love for you is astronomical.
Brother Dre:It cannot be counted.
Brother Dre:It can't be measured.
Brother Dre:It's something that man truly can't comprehend all the way.
Brother Dre:But God loves you.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:And I tell you something.
Brother Dre:The love of God is better than any amount of money that I could never have or ever receive or ever hope to receive God's love for me.
Brother Dre:I love my wife, and Lord knows she loves me.
Brother Dre:But her love can't do me, can't compare to God's love.
Brother Dre:I just want you to know on today that God loves you.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:When we look at Romans chapter five, verse six through eight, it says, when we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
Brother Dre:Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.
Brother Dre:But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
Brother Dre:Oh, my God.
Brother Dre:That is such a powerful passage.
Brother Dre:He died for us while we were still yet sinners.
Brother Dre:Christ died for us.
Brother Dre:God sent his son to die for us when we were helpless.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:He sent his son to die for us when we had nothing to offer.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:See, see, it might be, you might understand the love someone has for you.
Brother Dre:If you were able to give them something, if they were able to benefit from you, if, if you knew that they love, if they knew that you love them, maybe they will be willing to die for you.
Brother Dre:But I, but God sent his son to die for us when we were helpless, when we had nothing to offer, when we were still denying him, when we still say, I don't want to serve you.
Brother Dre:He still died for you because he loved you that much.
Brother Dre:Think about how much God loves you.
Brother Dre:Think about how much Jesus loves you.
Brother Dre:For him to be battling in his time, in that time where he knew he was about to be offered up.
Brother Dre:And he's in the garden of Gethsemane, and he knows what he's gonna have to deal with just so that we might have a way to have eternal life to be with the father.
Brother Dre:He knows what he's going to deal with.
Brother Dre:You know, it talks about drops of blood falling from his forehead because he knows what he's going to have to deal with.
Brother Dre:And yet, with all that he knows, oh, God, with all that he knows, some people that were not even, who did not even say that, I will serve you, with all that he knows, he says, father, not my will.
Brother Dre:Glory to God, but your will be done.
Brother Dre:Not my will, but your will to be done.
Brother Dre:He was obedient even to death, because he loved the father.
Brother Dre:And the father loved us.
Brother Dre:And he loved us.
Brother Dre:He said, not my will, but your will be done.
Brother Dre:Think about all the stripes that he took.
Brother Dre:The Bible says he was beaten unrecognizable as a man.
Brother Dre:Thorns put in his head, going all the way down into his, into his brain.
Brother Dre:Matter beat unrecognizable as a man put on a cross.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:See, we don't talk about this anymore.
Brother Dre:We don't talk about Christ in this way anymore.
Brother Dre:We don't talk about God in this way anymore, because we are so consumed with natural, materialistic benefits that we forget what was really the sacrifice that was offered up for us.
Brother Dre:Because he loved us.
Brother Dre:He died on that cross.
Brother Dre:He could have got up at any time and said, I'm out of here.
Brother Dre:I don't want to do this anymore.
Brother Dre:But because he loved us, he stayed on that cross.
Brother Dre:Oh, God, let me pick.
Brother Dre:Paint the picture for you.
Brother Dre:Because he loved us so much, he stayed there on that cross in shame.
Brother Dre:I know the Bible.
Brother Dre:The movies show, you know, a cloth on him.
Brother Dre:They don't show all the stripes and all the damage that was done to his body just for us.
Brother Dre:He was up there naked.
Brother Dre:Oh, God.
Brother Dre:The same people that was saying Hosanna has now asked for his crucifixion for an exchange of a.
Brother Dre:Of a sinner.
Brother Dre:He's up there.
Brother Dre:He's up there for us.
Brother Dre:Good God stayed there for us, beaten for us.
Brother Dre:That's how much he loves you.
Brother Dre:And guess what?
Brother Dre:Here's the crazy part, is while he's up there, after he's endured all that pain, after he's had to deal with the betrayal of the people who said, I love you, he says, father, good God, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Brother Dre:Not two years later, not after a little while, while he's up there, right after being beaten and hung on, that crossed, he says, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Brother Dre:That's love.
Brother Dre:That's love.
Brother Dre:And so here it is.
Brother Dre:Some of us who say we are Christ like, we won't forgive anybody, we who say that we are Christ like, we won't show our love towards anybody if someone does us wrong, we have.
Brother Dre:Oh, God, we have.
Brother Dre:We have these.
Brother Dre:These vendettas.
Brother Dre:If someone does us.
Brother Dre:There are families right now who.
Brother Dre:Family members right now who haven't spoken to one another in years because of something that happened in their childhood.
Brother Dre:There are families right now who are separated because someone did somebody wrong ten years ago.
Brother Dre:And they keep replaying it in their mind and they keep saying the, telling that same story.
Brother Dre:I remember when they did this.
Brother Dre:I remember when they did that.
Brother Dre:Well, let me ask you something.
Brother Dre:Have you ever made.
Brother Dre:Have you ever disappointed God yourself?
Brother Dre:Have you ever sinned against God?
Brother Dre:Have you ever went against what he told you to do?
Brother Dre:You know what to do.
Brother Dre:You know how he feels about certain things.
Brother Dre:You know what you did was wrong in his eyesight, and you did it.
Brother Dre:But you still expect him to forgive.
Brother Dre:Why is it that we want him to forgive us, but we won't forgive other people?
Brother Dre:Uh oh.
Brother Dre:Why is it the same people who talk about the love of goddess won't forgive other people?
Brother Dre:We're always asking for mercy, but we won't give none.
Brother Dre:We want God to forget our sins.
Brother Dre:And he does.
Brother Dre:He does.
Brother Dre:He says, I won't remember what you've done.
Brother Dre:It's covered in the blood.
Brother Dre:But yet we, a lot of times, and this is.
Brother Dre:This is people in Christ.
Brother Dre:This is people who may not be saved.
Brother Dre:We, a lot of times, as man, man or woman, we find it hard to forgive those who wrong us when God does it all the time.
Brother Dre:And I'm going to put this to believers, how can you hold a vendetta against someone who.
Brother Dre:Who's done you wrong when God doesn't hold a vendetta against you?
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:Talking about the love of God.
Brother Dre:You know, Pastor Bennett, my aunt, who's went on to be with the Lord, she had a saying, and she said, love is not what it says, it's what it does.
Brother Dre:And that is such a true statement.
Brother Dre:Love is not what it says.
Brother Dre:It's what it does.
Brother Dre:Anybody can tell you they love you, but what do they actions say?
Brother Dre:I've had many people tell me they love me when there was a problem or there's a funeral or a, you know, something's going on in the family.
Brother Dre:You know, it's.
Brother Dre:It's funny how we can forget things just for a minute, and then as soon as the crisis is over, ah, as soon as the crisis is over, we're right back at odds.
Brother Dre:But Pastor Bennett used to say, love is not what it says, it's what it does.
Brother Dre:I know we're talking about how much God loves you, but can anybody see the love of God through you?
Brother Dre:Can they see the love of God through you?
Brother Dre:If there was no bible to read and you were the only thing that people could look at to describe God, to know what God is all about, what would they see through you?
Brother Dre:It makes you think it ought to make you examine yourself.
Brother Dre: John: Brother Dre:Matthew, chapter five, verse 44, it says, but I say to you, love your enemies.
Brother Dre:Pray for those who persecute you.
Brother Dre:Let me read that one again because that's a good one.
Brother Dre:That one will make you say ouch.
Brother Dre:It says, but I say, love your enemies.
Brother Dre:Pray for those who persecute you.
Brother Dre:And why can he say that?
Brother Dre:The word is the word, but why can we say that?
Brother Dre:Why can't he say that?
Brother Dre:Well, he did it on Calvary.
Brother Dre:See, here's what I love about God.
Brother Dre:He's not going to tell you to do anything that he's not willing to do.
Brother Dre:Praise God.
Brother Dre:He's not going to tell you to do anything that he is not willing or has already done.
Brother Dre:He.
Brother Dre:You know, it's kind of like sometimes I tell the kids, listen, if I ask you to do something, I'm asking you something that I would do.
Brother Dre:I'm not going to ask you to do anything that I would not do.
Brother Dre:If I would not do it, then I don't expect you to do it.
Brother Dre:But anything I ask you, just understand I'm willing to do it myself, or I have done it.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:But I say, love your enemies.
Brother Dre:Pray for those who persecute you.
Brother Dre:Let me tell you something about God, about Jesus.
Brother Dre:He died on the cross for you.
Brother Dre:He did all that.
Brother Dre:He took all those stripes.
Brother Dre:He said, father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Brother Dre:His love for you is just for you.
Brother Dre:Notice his love, his love, his actions of love, it didn't benefit him at all, but it benefited you.
Brother Dre:See, that's.
Brother Dre:That's true love.
Brother Dre:When, when.
Brother Dre:When you loving me doesn't benefit me at all, but it benefits you.
Brother Dre:That's what we call being unselfish.
Brother Dre:That's true love.
Brother Dre:When.
Brother Dre:With all I do, with all the.
Brother Dre:With all the love that I show to you, I'm not looking necessarily looking for anything in return, but I just.
Brother Dre:I love you so much that I want you to succeed.
Brother Dre:It ain't about me.
Brother Dre:It's about you.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:The closest thing I think a man or woman could compare it to is when, you know, you become a husband and wife and a man goes out.
Brother Dre:I'm going to speak from the man's point of view.
Brother Dre:When the man goes out there, or when I go out there and I work all these hours, I mean, just work and work and work and work, and I take all that foolishness out there, you know, because sometimes people talk to you crazy, sometimes people will do you wrong on your job, sometimes people get on your nerves.
Brother Dre:And I take all that abuse for you, for my family, for my wife, when I give to you, when I give to my wife, I'm not looking.
Brother Dre:I'm not trying to do, let's make a deal.
Brother Dre:You understand what I'm saying?
Brother Dre:It's not let's make a deal.
Brother Dre:I'm not in the mind frame of, okay, if I do this, then I expect her to do this.
Brother Dre:No, I'm in the mind frame of I love her so much.
Brother Dre:I'm going to do this because I want to see her happy.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:I want to see her smile.
Brother Dre:I want to see her prosperity.
Brother Dre:I want to see her go forth.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:If you got kids right now, anybody who has kids, you understand what I'm talking about?
Brother Dre:You don't put in all that extra time working.
Brother Dre:You don't put in all that extra time taking them to their classes, their extracurricular activities.
Brother Dre:You don't do that for your benefit.
Brother Dre:Your mind is set on making them be the best that they can be.
Brother Dre:That's what God did for us.
Brother Dre:He did all of that.
Brother Dre:He took all the pain, endured all the pain, endured all the shame, not for his benefit, but for ours.
Brother Dre:He's already in heaven.
Brother Dre:He's not trying.
Brother Dre:Oh, God, I.
Brother Dre:He's not trying to build a reputation to where maybe if he do right by people on earth, that maybe he can get into heaven or he can get to another rink in heaven.
Brother Dre:No, what he's done, he's already done.
Brother Dre:He's already up there.
Brother Dre:He was in the beginning.
Brother Dre:But Christ loved us so much that when Adam fell, he says, I have to give them back to me.
Brother Dre:I gotta give them.
Brother Dre:I gotta give them away back to me.
Brother Dre:This is my creation.
Brother Dre:And, yes, Adam failed.
Brother Dre:I got to correct the mistake.
Brother Dre:I got to put them back in right standing again.
Brother Dre:And so what do I benefit from them?
Brother Dre:Nothing but my love for them.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:My love for them will make me endure whatever I got to endure.
Brother Dre:That's why you ought to praise God.
Brother Dre:You ought to thank God.
Brother Dre:It ought to make you want to serve him because he loved you that much.
Brother Dre:I don't understand people who say, well, I don't want to.
Brother Dre:I don't want to serve God just yet.
Brother Dre:I don't want to give my life to God just yet after all that he's done.
Brother Dre:What is the question?
Brother Dre:How can you question the love of God?
Brother Dre:Lord?
Brother Dre:Look at psalms, chapter 40, verse two.
Brother Dre:It says, I waited patiently for the Lord to help me.
Brother Dre:This is psalms 40, verse two.
Brother Dre:I waited patiently.
Brother Dre:Or verse one, I waited patiently for the Lord to help me.
Brother Dre:And he turned to me and heard my cry.
Brother Dre:He lifted me out of the pit of despair.
Brother Dre:Anybody ever been in a pit?
Brother Dre:Out of the mud and the mire?
Brother Dre:He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walk along.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:He has given me a new song to sing.
Brother Dre:A hymn of praise to our goddess.
Brother Dre:Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
Brother Dre:They will put their trust in the Lord.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:Go back to verse one.
Brother Dre:It says, he heard my cry.
Brother Dre:He heard my cry.
Brother Dre:He heard my cry many times.
Brother Dre:People will hear you sobbing.
Brother Dre:They will hear your cry, but they don't really hear your cry.
Brother Dre:Let me.
Brother Dre:Let me make it make sense.
Brother Dre:They will see you crying.
Brother Dre:They will see, something is wrong with you, but they won't hear your cry.
Brother Dre:In other words, they won't know where that cry comes from.
Brother Dre:They don't know.
Brother Dre:They won't know where that sorrow, that burden comes from, that yell came from, because they can't figure it out.
Brother Dre:They can't figure out exactly why are you crying.
Brother Dre:They don't know.
Brother Dre:They can't hear your heart.
Brother Dre:Like God hears your heart.
Brother Dre:Oh, God.
Brother Dre:Have you ever been in a place where you were crying out and people were trying to comfort you, but you understood, you knew within yourself, they have no idea where this cry comes from.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:But God hears your cry.
Brother Dre:He hears your cry.
Brother Dre:He hears the root of the problem.
Brother Dre:He hears the heart of your cry.
Brother Dre:He hears you.
Brother Dre:He hears you.
Brother Dre:He doesn't just hand you a towel and say, a paper towel or a tissue and say, it's going to be okay.
Brother Dre:He hears your cry.
Brother Dre:He doesn't say, is there anything that I can do for you?
Brother Dre:No.
Brother Dre:He hears your cry.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:There have been times where I've been very, very sad.
Brother Dre:I've had seasons of sorrow.
Brother Dre:And somebody will understand when I say this.
Brother Dre:When you are a leader in your home, when you have people depending on you, oftentimes you work while you're in pain, you work while you're in pain.
Brother Dre:You have the straight face while you're out there.
Brother Dre:And people may ask you, is everything okay?
Brother Dre:And I.
Brother Dre:And you say, yeah, I'm fine, but you're really not fine.
Brother Dre:But there will be somebody.
Brother Dre:Sometimes there's that one person who's known you forever, who really knows you, that can hear beyond what you say, that can feel you beyond what you say.
Brother Dre:You told everybody you was okay.
Brother Dre:I will be all right.
Brother Dre:But that one person who is just tapped into your pain, tapped into your frequency, they will understand that.
Brother Dre:No, you're not okay.
Brother Dre:But it's all right.
Brother Dre:You can tell me you're okay.
Brother Dre:But guess what?
Brother Dre:I'm gonna be here until you feel okay.
Brother Dre:I'm gonna be here when you crash.
Brother Dre:I'm gonna be here when you flip out.
Brother Dre:I'm gonna stay right here.
Brother Dre:I know what you said, but I understand you.
Brother Dre:I can hear your pain.
Brother Dre:And so they stayed there.
Brother Dre:And sooner or later, you break down, and there they are.
Brother Dre:There they are, not judging you.
Brother Dre:They just want to be there for you.
Brother Dre:God is like that to us all the time.
Brother Dre:You don't ever have to wonder if he hears your cry.
Brother Dre:Oh, but he hears it all the time.
Brother Dre:You're his child.
Brother Dre:He knows you he know what's wrong?
Brother Dre:Look at verse two.
Brother Dre:It says, he lifted me out of the pit of despair and out of the mud and out of the mire.
Brother Dre:He set my feet on a solid foundation.
Brother Dre:There's a song that says, when nothing else could help, hallelujah.
Brother Dre:When nothing else could help.
Brother Dre:Love.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:Love.
Brother Dre:What is love?
Brother Dre:Who is love?
Brother Dre:Jesus.
Brother Dre:Love lifted me.
Brother Dre:He lifted me when nothing else could happen.
Brother Dre:When I was in the pit of despair, when it seems like I was stuck.
Brother Dre:Have you ever felt stuck in a situation?
Brother Dre:Have you ever.
Brother Dre:Have you ever felt stuck in a particular season, in a season of despair, in a season of sorrow?
Brother Dre:You tried to get over things, but you just seemed like you were stuck.
Brother Dre:It was almost like that movie the groundhog day.
Brother Dre:Every time it seemed like you was about to be okay, you couldn't get okay because maybe your spirit was just disturbed or your mind was disturbed.
Brother Dre:Every time you got quiet, there was quieter around you.
Brother Dre:Your mind relives certain things.
Brother Dre:Your mind would begin to wonder.
Brother Dre:When nothing else could help.
Brother Dre:When no one else could help.
Brother Dre:He lifted me.
Brother Dre:He lifted me.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:I just.
Brother Dre:Today I wanted to highlight God's love.
Brother Dre:Will he bless you?
Brother Dre:Yes, yes, God will bless you.
Brother Dre:He wants to bless you.
Brother Dre:He wants to give you your heart's desire.
Brother Dre:Will he heal you?
Brother Dre:Yes, yes, yes.
Brother Dre:He'll heal your physical ailments.
Brother Dre:It's proven in the Bible.
Brother Dre:But his love, it's what's so.
Brother Dre:What's so valuable.
Brother Dre:His love is what brings me out.
Brother Dre:His love is what I rest on.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:His love.
Brother Dre:And I don't care where you come from.
Brother Dre:I don't.
Brother Dre:I don't care where you come from because God doesn't care.
Brother Dre:You can come from a dysfunctional family.
Brother Dre:You could have been, you know, what people may call a mistake.
Brother Dre:You could have made many mistakes.
Brother Dre:But he still loves you.
Brother Dre:He still cares for you.
Brother Dre:You could have dirtied up your name.
Brother Dre:Lord knows I've dirty up my name, made bad decisions.
Brother Dre:The kicker is I know the Lord, and the Lord speaks to me.
Brother Dre:And he has told me certain things.
Brother Dre:He's told me there's been times when he's told me, do not do this.
Brother Dre:And I did it anyway.
Brother Dre:And, boy, did I pay the price.
Brother Dre:I'm just going to be honest.
Brother Dre:I paid the price for disobedience.
Brother Dre:And, man, it hurt.
Brother Dre:It hurt me.
Brother Dre:But I must be honest with you.
Brother Dre:It hurt me that I hurt him as well.
Brother Dre:And that hurt even more.
Brother Dre:But even in that, even when I went against what he told me to do.
Brother Dre:And, yes, I paid the price.
Brother Dre:That things happened in my life that, you know, maybe I talk about someday, and I know there are certain things I will never talk about, but in all of that, he still loved me.
Brother Dre:He still loved me when I was literally about to lose my mind because of my decision.
Brother Dre:He still loved me.
Brother Dre:And I just come to tell somebody on today, God loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:There may be people who leave you, but he won't leave you.
Brother Dre:I've had people who I thought was close to me, who I thought really loved me leave me.
Brother Dre:But God won't leave you.
Brother Dre:I rest in him.
Brother Dre:I rest in him.
Brother Dre:I have peace in him.
Brother Dre:And you can have that same peace.
Brother Dre:God loves you.
Brother Dre:As our scripture said, the first scripture we read, there's nothing that will separate him from you.
Brother Dre:He's going to be there all the time.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:Listen, I feel like this is a good.
Brother Dre:A good place for this.
Brother Dre:Maybe you're not safe right now.
Brother Dre:Maybe you're not safe right now.
Brother Dre:And you might have just heard this message.
Brother Dre:It might have just came on your phone.
Brother Dre:Have you ever had something just pop up on your phone and you just let it play?
Brother Dre:Maybe it was just playing on your phone.
Brother Dre:Maybe you're someone who grew up in church and.
Brother Dre:And maybe you saw some things that kind of turned you off to church.
Brother Dre:They misrepresented God, but he loves you.
Brother Dre:He loves you.
Brother Dre:He wants you to be with him on today.
Brother Dre:He wants you to give your life to him on today.
Brother Dre:I will forever say this.
Brother Dre:The biggest benefit or the greatest thing my mother ever did for me was introducing me to Christ, telling me about God.
Brother Dre:It has kept me through some dark moments.
Brother Dre:And so today it would be because we're talking about God's love.
Brother Dre:It will be robbery if.
Brother Dre:If I didn't present the chance to know for yourself.
Brother Dre:You say, I want to experience that love.
Brother Dre:You don't know what I've been through.
Brother Dre:And everybody who I thought was in my corner and everybody who I thought would never leave me has left me.
Brother Dre:I want to know this.
Brother Dre:God, who you talk about loves you so much.
Brother Dre:You can do it today.
Brother Dre:It doesn't cost anything.
Brother Dre:You don't have to run around a church or.
Brother Dre:Or anything like that.
Brother Dre:Quite honestly, you don't even have to go down on bended knee right now.
Brother Dre:It just makes you.
Brother Dre:It just takes you making a decision, that's all.
Brother Dre:Making a decision to serve him.
Brother Dre:If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and has been raised from the dead, you will be saved.
Brother Dre:It is with your heart that you believe, and it is with your mouth you proclaim.
Brother Dre:That's all it takes.
Brother Dre:Don't let nobody fool you like there's so much you got to do.
Brother Dre:He just wants to know that you want him.
Brother Dre:And if you want them on today, just repeat this after me and mean it from your heart.
Brother Dre:Just say, dear heavenly Father, I know that I've messed up.
Brother Dre:I know that I've went against your word a few times.
Brother Dre:I'm a sinner.
Brother Dre:But right now I ask you for forgiveness.
Brother Dre:I believe you died for my sins, and I believe you rose from the dead today.
Brother Dre:Right now, I turn from my sins.
Brother Dre:I repent of my sins, and I turn to you.
Brother Dre:I invite you into my heart and life.
Brother Dre:I will trust and follow you as my lord and savior.
Brother Dre:In Jesus name.
Brother Dre:Amen.
Brother Dre:That's all it takes.
Brother Dre:Now, if you meant that from your heart right now, you are saved.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:And let me just welcome you into the family.
Brother Dre:It is the greatest decision that you have ever made.
Brother Dre:Hallelujah.
Brother Dre:Now, I encourage anybody, I encourage any and everybody to find a ministry that can help, you know, Christ in a better way.
Brother Dre:You know, don't let this, this moment just be a moment.
Brother Dre:Let this be a life altering decision.
Brother Dre:Make this thing last.
Brother Dre:Surround yourself with people who can tell you about God.
Brother Dre:Surround yourself with people who want to serve him, just like you declared that you want to serve him.
Brother Dre:Don't let the enemy take this from you.
Brother Dre:Don't let the enemy trick you.
Brother Dre:The Bible says he comes immediately to steal, kill and destroy.
Brother Dre:Don't let him trick you.
Brother Dre:There's strength in numbers.
Brother Dre:Join a church on today.
Brother Dre:Go to a church on today.
Brother Dre:Let them help guide you.
Brother Dre:All right.
Brother Dre:This has been brother Dr.
Brother Dre:E.
Brother Dre:Glory to God.
Brother Dre:I'm excited, man.
Brother Dre:I'm excited.
Brother Dre:And I tell you that love is real.
Brother Dre:This is brother Dre.
Brother Dre:Hope that you got something out of the word on today.
Brother Dre:For those who were not saved.
Brother Dre:I hope you got saved on today.
Brother Dre:I will talk to you next time.
