Wow, poem, 23 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: it's like poetry. 24 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: There's this spiritual. 25 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: Principle and I just want to I want I want 26 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: to just kind of like sit here for a minute 27 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: with you, because you know, the toxic relationships that you 28 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: continue to open yourself up to, it's a spiritual thing, you. 29 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying. I have never had. 30 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: Relationships with men that physically assaulted me. 31 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: Because if that happened, your girl would be in prison. 32 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Do you Okay? There 33 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: is something on the inside of me that would in 34 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: no way put up with that. 35 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: Uh. And so I've never been in an abusive relationship. Now, 36 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: let's compare myself to another person that that's all she's 37 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: been around. And it's not just the first marriage that 38 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: was abusive, but the second marriage and the third marriage, 39 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: and maybe it's just a boyfriend he was abusive. 40 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: Then you went into an. 41 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: Even worse relationship, and you're like, how am I finding 42 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: these guys? How am I with these women? And maybe 43 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: you're a male the watching this, How am I with 44 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: the psycho of a woman? And then I'm done with 45 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: this relationship and I'm onto the next psycho of a 46 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: wife or psycho of a woman. 47 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: It just seems like what the heck is happening? 48 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: But there is a there's a there's a spiritual principle 49 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: here that who you are is what is. 50 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: Attracted to you. 51 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: Deep cries out to deep, like begets like. 52 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: Like spirits attract. 53 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: And so you might even be saying, like, but I'm 54 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: not abusive, But the thing is your mindset is one 55 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: of abuse that you've opened yourself up to. And so 56 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: that's that's a really hard reality because a lot of 57 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: times what we do is when we are in this 58 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: and it may or may have started because this is 59 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: the thing. Spiritual things become realities, right, So you might 60 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: have been in an atmosphere where there were dark spiritual things. 61 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: In that atmosphere, maybe there was. 62 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: Major sexual perversion, and that's how you grew up is 63 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: in the midst of that. And and it's obvious that 64 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: those things affect children. Your your circumstances, and your upbringing 65 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: really play a major part in what you do with 66 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: your life. 67 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: What you're exposed to. 68 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: Some some children have been exposed to sexual things at 69 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: a very young age and they're paying for it now 70 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: in their twenties, in their in their teenage years, and 71 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: there's all kinds of confusions and why was that? Because 72 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: there was a door that flung wide open, and that 73 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: demon came in, and it came upon your children, and 74 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: and this is, this is, this is the thing that 75 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. You might be taking this 76 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: Christianity thing at surface level, but you're thinking like, well, 77 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: I still like to party, I still like to go 78 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: to clubs. I'm still me, you know what I'm saying. 79 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: But the thing is you open yourself up to that 80 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: spirit of lust, to that. 81 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: Spirit of perversion. 82 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: You might be doing things in the comfy closet of 83 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: your own home, and what you don't realize is that 84 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: you've opened up a door from Hell to God. It 85 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: just have flung it right open, and it's in your house, 86 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: and now other people are going to be affected by that. 87 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a house where you know 88 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: something dark is in there. I've been to many places 89 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: like that where it's like, I don't know what this is, 90 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: but this doesn't feel good. My spirit's leaping up out 91 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: of my chest. I am going bars, clubs, whatever. You know, 92 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: you feel something that, or at least you should that, like, 93 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: isn't right, something's wrong here? Why that's a spiritual thing? 94 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: And so what ends up happening and I'm just. 95 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: Gonna like ride this. 96 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: This one example, you're in a toxic family atmosphere. You're 97 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: exposed to things that you should not have been exposed 98 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: to as a kid, and all of a sudden, you 99 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: bring that into your life and now it's your reality, 100 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: and now it's something that you are struggling with. 101 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: It happens every single day. It's happening right now. 102 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 2: And your parents may have tried to protect you and 103 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: they don't want you to live this life. 104 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: But it's not about that. 105 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: It's about who you are right and what you open 106 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: yourself up to. And that's why you can go into 107 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: the same homes like Olivia's mom and dad's home. It's 108 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 2: like it's a little slice of heaven. I walked in 109 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: there and I was like, what's going on here? This 110 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: is like a Hallmark channel. It's just the peace and 111 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: joy because you know they are fully engaged. This is 112 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: not at surface level where they're just saying there are Christians, 113 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: but really they've got a bar downstairs and they're open 114 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: a blunt every Friday with their friends and shacking up 115 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: and switching spouses. Now they are living clean and they 116 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: are living holy, and the byproduct of that is when 117 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: you step into that home, you feel it. So back 118 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: to that example, right, So, now you're a child and 119 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, these sexual perversion and these thoughts 120 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: and gross things come in. Maybe it might have been 121 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: like a YouTube thing or something that you saw on 122 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: TV that you were exposed to. Maybe your family loves 123 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: scaring movies, and all of a sudden that opens up 124 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: something on the inside of you that. 125 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: Was like, now I'm terrified. 126 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: I am afraid of everything, And maybe that was something 127 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: that they used as a scare tactic for you. If 128 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: you do this, and Google's gonna come, and the Google's 129 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 2: gonna come and kill you, and it's like what Google? 130 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: What? Or bye hoo and Beho's gonna come? There's the 131 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: old man. The old man is gonna come. And that's 132 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: scared the hell out of us. Oh, who's what? Old 133 00:08:59,440 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: guy has come? 134 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 2: Somebody tell me what ye hold the real You know 135 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 136 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: And so they use those. 137 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: Scare tactics to kind of get you in alignment to 138 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: what they wanted seen and done. But it messed you 139 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: up and you're like, now I gotta like fight off 140 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: of this freaking demon of fear because that's that was 141 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: what you know, that's what was just cultivated. I was impressionable, 142 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: I was young. All of these things took to grow. 143 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: That's why it's so important children's ministry, and I'm gonna 144 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: bring it here because their hearts are so perfect. There's 145 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: there's no there's no damage, there's no jadedness that that 146 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: the soil in their heart is incredibly powerful and when 147 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: you plant in a good seed, it produces thirty sixty 148 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: and one hundredfold return. And all of the these children, 149 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: that's what they're not. They haven't lived a hard life 150 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: like you. They haven't been exposed to that nonsense hopefully 151 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: that most of us have been exposed to. So it's 152 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: at these moments that it's so imperative to get the 153 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: word of God on the inside of them, to avoid 154 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: nonsense like. 155 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: You're going through right now. 156 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: Just stop. 157 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: So what ends up happening is that we we we 158 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: are exposed to these things. 159 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: And now we've identified with these things and now they 160 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: are a full blown problem in our lives. 161 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: And that sucks because that's the reality. What what what? What? 162 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: What? People open doors. That's why it's important who you're around. 163 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: It's important the atmosphere that you keep. It's important, it's 164 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: very important. And uh So, now you've identified with the 165 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: problem because of something that you've been exposed to, and 166 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: you've brought that on. 167 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: And it might be just. 168 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: Pride, stubbornness, you just being mean and angry, you just 169 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: being concerned about things that you shouldn't even be concerned about. 170 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: All of these things are something that maybe you've been 171 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: exposed to at one. 172 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Time in your life. 173 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: Right at some point you're gonna have to identify that 174 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: that's toxic behavior. 175 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: And the reality is is. 176 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: That, yeah, I was raised in this, but I don't 177 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,239 Speaker 2: have to be the byproduct of that environment in my life. 178 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: I am a full grown woman. I am a full 179 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 4: grown man. I don't need. 180 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: The help of my mommy and daddy to try to 181 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: get me up out of this mess. I have a 182 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: brain that works, I have eyes that can read. And 183 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: now I'm going to get into the Word of God 184 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: and see how I can break free from this. And 185 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: the remedy is always the blood of Jesus. So if 186 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: you've never encountered Jesus a day in your life, today 187 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: is the day of salvation, and today is the only 188 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: day that matters you can't stop pushing it away. 189 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: For some time in the future. God's gonna work. And 190 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: now why not? 191 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: Now? 192 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Why not now? Because then we understand it's like, okay. 193 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: So that this this thing, this sexual perversion and sometimes violence, 194 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: like really. 195 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: Intense violence, and it's traumatic. 196 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: And you saw that play out in front of your 197 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: eyes as a very. 198 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: Small kid in it messed you up. And so all 199 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: of a. 200 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: Sudden, now you're grown, you're in your thirties, and you 201 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: are now replicating the very thing you were exposed to 202 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: as a kid. 203 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: And then you've got friends and they've never had that happen. 204 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: Why is that? That's strange? 205 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 2: Because spiritual things attract themselves like begets, like like spirits attract. 206 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 2: So it's interesting that you're at the bar and two 207 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: alcoholics get together, two abusive people, violent people get together. 208 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't even matter where you are, might be a concert. 209 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you got two angry people that 210 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: gravitate towards each other. 211 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: Why is that? 212 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: Because it's who you are, You project who you are, 213 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: and that then becomes the reality. You don't have friends. 214 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna do that was deep. Now I'm just 215 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: gonna bring it up to what surface level a little bit, 216 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: because a lot of people detach this reason from living 217 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: the life that you should live. So it's like, Okay, 218 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: you don't have meaningful friendships in your life. Why is 219 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: that is that everybody's issue? I would I would say no. 220 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: I would say no according to this kind of principle 221 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: that we're talking about, because who you are is what 222 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: you will attract, point period blank. 223 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: That's why most people that are fit, they hang out 224 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: with people that are fit. 225 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: Most people that are successful, they're not at a garage party, 226 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like they're burning the midnight oil. 227 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: They're like studying for whatever it needs to be said. 228 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: There's just there's a different mindset involved. And when you 229 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: are somebody, when you become that person that you want 230 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: to become, there's very zero there's little tolerance for stupidity, 231 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: and there's very little tolerance for people that are not 232 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: going to go the same way you're going. 233 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: Does is that clear? 234 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: So? 235 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Or at least there shouldn't be, because what is the. 236 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: Sense if you are a born again Christian and you've 237 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: been delivered and set free, hallelujah, I've been delivered by 238 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: the head of the okay, So so why are you 239 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: at that bar? 240 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Wait what? 241 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: Okay, you've been delivered, you've been set free. Okay, the 242 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: Lord is open up your eyes. So then why are 243 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: you making these decisions to go back into that life 244 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: that I will never understand? To just stop and take 245 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: a little breather. Let's dissect this a little bit, because 246 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: see that. 247 00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: The thing is the word works, sweetheart. The word works. 248 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: It works every time, not just ninety nine point nine 249 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: percent of the time, not eighty six percent of the time. 250 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: The word works of the time. And if you don't 251 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: see it working, it's not the word's fault. It's not 252 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: God's fault. It's your fault. And most of the time 253 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: we are kind of like gridlocked into this way of thinking, 254 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: like this is just the way it's always been, this is. 255 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: How I've been trained. What do I do? I'll tell 256 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: you what to do. 257 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for asking. Romans twelve, verse two. 258 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: Don't be conformed to this world any longer with the 259 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: superficial values and customs. 260 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: But be being transformed. 261 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: That's what that word means. It's a continuation of that transformation. 262 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: Be being transformed and progressively changed. 263 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: See when you make the first step. Great, we all 264 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: have to do it. Hallelujah. You encountered the power of God. 265 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: Now how can I make leaps like gains? Like like 266 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 2: really like I want to see success in every area. 267 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: I see these testimonies come and I watch them and 268 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: people are getting healed and they're getting homes and there's 269 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: this like a miracle after miracle. I want that in 270 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: my life best or what can I do? This is 271 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: how to do it. If you want to stay in 272 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 2: the game, in this Christian life that we live, if 273 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: you want to run this race correctly, then I need 274 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 2: you to do it the right way. There's a right 275 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: way of doing it. Okay, great, your family drinks wonderful. 276 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 2: That's not you anymore. 277 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: Just stop for a second. That's not you anymore. 278 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 2: So what do I have to do? There's something that's required. 279 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: Things aren't just gonna change. Happy clappy, congratulations, you met Jesus. 280 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: Wonderful. Now it's time to put in the work. 281 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: See, we didn't gain salvation because of something that we've done. 282 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: But now you will identify my faith in Jesus Christ 283 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: by the things that I do, by the actions that 284 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: I take, by the words that I say. See that's 285 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: true transformation, and that's sticking with it right. 286 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: And at times it takes discipline. Everybody wants to expect. 287 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to run run fifteen miles without being winded. 288 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: But there's gonna You're gonna have to train, You're gonna 289 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 2: have to exert yourself, make the proper changes that are 290 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: necessary to fulfill this goal. And at times people don't 291 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: don't even see it as a goal. When you get saved, 292 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: the goal after you being saved is I'm gonna make 293 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: it to Heaven. 294 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: That should be the number one goal for each and 295 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: every one of us. 296 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: And you know why it sobers you up because you 297 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: realize I can make some stupid decision based on my 298 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: old ways, and it could actually pull me away from 299 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 2: the things of God and the things that I know 300 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: are meaningful and true. 301 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: They could pull me away from those things and I 302 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: could lose it. I don't want to lose it. I 303 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: want to stay in the game. 304 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 2: I want to do it right, and I want to 305 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: see the blessing that comes with doing it right. Do 306 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: you understand this life of Christianity. There's the right way 307 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: of doing it. The right way of doing it is 308 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: to live holy, to live righteously, righteously, to live according 309 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: to the word of God, like it says in Deuteronomy. 310 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: Right now, I'm setting before you life and blessing and curses, Oh, 311 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: that you would choose life so that you and your 312 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: descendants might live. Why why is that important to dissect? 313 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Because every choice that you make has a ripple effect. 314 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: There are generations to come after you that are going 315 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: to benefit from the decision you've made, or on the 316 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: on the opposite side of that, they're going to be cursed. 317 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: They're also going to reap terrible things because of your 318 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: yes or your no. That's the reality of what we're 319 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: doing here. And most of the times we keep it 320 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 2: at this supervisual and wonder once opening. I don't understand 321 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: when you when you understand the real thing, the the 322 00:20:52,840 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: most real thing is the spirit, and it's spirit first, 323 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: then the carnal, then the carnality, then the the the 324 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: the earthly things. It's just like in the beginning, God 325 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 2: created the heavens and the earth. How did he create 326 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: create it? He spoke it into existence. So first a 327 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: spirit was the first thing, and then a byproduct of 328 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: that spirit speaking those powerful words is there was a 329 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: reality that was created right, and so we understand that 330 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: what we see, what we touch, all those things in 331 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: the five senses, those are secondary. So when we start 332 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 2: seeing crazy things happening all around us, addiction, frustration, anger, feeling, 333 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: the feelings of being unfulfilled, rejection issues, intimy, see issues, 334 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: the inability to connect with people, all of those things 335 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: are byproducts of something that's happening first in the spirit, 336 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: and so it. 337 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: Says you're in the amplified. 338 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 2: It says if you want to see true change, then 339 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: there is something that is required of you. You can't 340 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: do it the way that you were raised. You can't 341 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: do it the way you've been taught in the natural sense. 342 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 2: You got to come into alignment with what the Spirit 343 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: of God has to say and allow it to transform 344 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 2: your thoughts. Your insecure that's a you issue, but it 345 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: comes because you don't know who you are in Christ 346 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: and so your insecurity because you refuse to get in 347 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: the Word and identify really who you are based out 348 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: of the Word of God. That insecurity issue is now 349 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: repelling people that God is sent into your life, but. 350 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: You blame it and that you can't trust anybody. You 351 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: You just can't trust nobody in these days. 352 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: Okay, then don't trust and die alone. But at some 353 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: point you gotta be friendly to get friends, and you're 354 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: not being friendly because of your insecurity. You are so 355 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 2: wrapped up in fear and so wrapped up in this 356 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: fear of rejection that you are quite literally pushing people away. 357 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be around a negative nancy or everything 358 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 2: you're saying. 359 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: But there's a remedy to that, and I don't. This 360 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: is the thing. 361 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: Just stop. I don't want you to live like that. 362 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 2: There's a better way of doing it. You know, you 363 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: can have good friends. You know you don't have to 364 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: walk around this world. 365 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: Jaded because somebody did you harm and this happened to me. 366 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: I refuse to be that person, and there I've been. 367 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: I could sit down and talk to you quite a 368 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: bit about the wrongs that have been made in my life, 369 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: or that were made by me and by the people 370 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 2: around me, intentional things that people have done to harm me, 371 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: to hurt me. I could sit and talk what year, 372 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: which year, how much time do you have? 373 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: But you know what I refuse to do is. 374 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 2: I refuse to identify with that toxicity because the reality 375 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 2: is that whatever the enemy sends to harm you, God 376 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: turns it around into my good. So this is the thing, 377 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: because we aren't aware of the revelation of who we 378 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: are in Christ Jesus, and that I can never fail, 379 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: I'll never lose, and if there is an attack, when 380 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: there is an attack, even through that attack, I'll be 381 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: on the winning side because you promised me that whatever happens, 382 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: I will make it good. I'll make whatever God is 383 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: going to turn around that situation for my good. And 384 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: whatever the devil meant for harm, I know he's gonna 385 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: turn it around for good. If I haven't seen the 386 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: good yet, it's because I'm just waiting for the turnaround. 387 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: But I know it's coming and it's gonna be good. 388 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 2: But I'm not sweating it out now. I'm not being jaded. 389 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: I just can't trust anybody anymore because everybody needs to 390 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: harm me, and just I can just trust my family 391 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: because like I can't any outsiders and ministry. 392 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: We can't, Okay, live alone some life. 393 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 2: Of bitterness and being jaded where you just are repellent. 394 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be around. 395 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 2: You because you're like I don't trust any i'mround Susie. Yeah, 396 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: you know, broke my trust and she told Eleanor about 397 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: this thing, and then I just can't truy and. 398 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: I can't and you can't and you can't, you can't. 399 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: We need the. 400 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 2: Understanding that partnership is powerful, the understanding that unity. There's 401 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: there's strength unity, there's strength in coming into a body 402 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: that is of one mind and one heart. Oh my gosh, 403 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: there's so much strength in that. And I've realized that 404 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 2: now being a part of Revival today Church, and I'm 405 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: looking at these people and some of them I don't 406 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: even know their names, but I'm like, I needed you. 407 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: I needed you in my life. Christyad Linger. I don't 408 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: know where you have been, but where have you been 409 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: all my life? 410 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: I need it? 411 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: And you know, it's just these little casual conversations even 412 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: but it's just like, what where have you been? 413 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: Where were you? 414 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 3: I needed you? 415 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: I needed brother don I needed this person in my life. 416 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: I needed like all of these things. There's so there's 417 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 2: strength and unity. There's strength in the Body of Christ 418 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: and the Family of God. There's something so beautiful. 419 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: Don't mess it up because of your stupid insecurities that 420 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: think people are just gonna harm you. And all I 421 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: want is I'm thing. 422 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 2: I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later, because 423 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: all anybody wants is just to use you for your money, 424 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: all Alana's opportunity. And see what you have feared the most, 425 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: like Job, That's what the God was saying, what you 426 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: feared the most, or what. 427 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: Job said it? What I feared the most has come 428 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: upon me. 429 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, because that's the reality of spiritual things. When 430 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: you open yourself up to those things and you don't 431 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: realize you have the minion over it, then all of 432 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: a sudden it takes root and a reality is manifested. 433 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: So you're having problems with X y Z. 434 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: You're having problems of letting go, of finding your purpose, 435 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: of connecting with people. 436 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: That's a you issue. 437 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: So the Bible says there's a way out. Praise God, hallelujah. 438 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: Be transformed and progressively changed. That is the remedy. And 439 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: some of you it's this mindset, and you were trying 440 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: to break out of that mindset. You know what, Your 441 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: dad carried it, your mom carried it, your grandparents carried it, 442 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 2: and now it's this kind of way of thinking that 443 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 2: you can't break out of. Everything is hard. Everything is hard, 444 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: everything's a problem, Everything is just difficult. 445 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: No, it's not. There's a remedy, there's a way out. 446 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 2: You've got the Holy Ghost living on the inside of 447 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: you who leads you and guides you into all truth. 448 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: And it's a progressive change. 449 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: That means I need to be in this every day 450 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: because I'm susceptible to reverting back to its original state, 451 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: which is being conniving, being vindictive, being rebellious, being. 452 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: A lot of these words, violent, being addicted to alcohol. 453 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: I can revert to those things if I allow myself 454 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,959 Speaker 2: to sure, sure I can, and dismiss the work that 455 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit has done. 456 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: Sure I can. I can allow it. 457 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: I can align myself with whatever I want to align 458 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: myself with. Fihat, So what am I aligning myself with? 459 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: Is it life or is it death? Is it blessing 460 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: or is it cursed? Because make no mistake about it, 461 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: all heaven is just paying attention. 462 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: What is the decision you gonna make? 463 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: And and mind you, when those words were being spoken, 464 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 2: it was to the people of God. It wasn't heathens 465 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 2: that didn't know the truth. It's like, okay, no, no, 466 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 2: it's a decision that we make as believers to either 467 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: align ourselves up with what the Spirit says, with what 468 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: the Word of God says, believe it, truly, really believe it, 469 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: really so hardly, hard hard. I'm believing in this so 470 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: hard that it becomes who I am. I can't part 471 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 2: you can't. You can't look at that word and not 472 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: see me in it. 473 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: That's how it is. I don't compartmentalize it. 474 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: And on Sundays I'm a dollist, the spiritual one. No, 475 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: I am a dallist, the spiritual one, the child of God, 476 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: the holiness of Christ, the righteousness of Christ, the High Priest. 477 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 2: What I can't beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. 478 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: I got peace, I got joy. 479 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: You can't separate me from who I am and those words, 480 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: because the Word of God says that that's who I am, 481 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: and that's who I am. So you can believe it, 482 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: so you can come to a place where you can't 483 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: separate yourself from the Word, and it becomes who you are. 484 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: And it's not just a poem, it's not just you 485 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: reciting something that oh, that feels, that evokes in emotion 486 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: and just it really touched my heart. No, we're not 487 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: talking about that. We're going deeper. It's not a heart, 488 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: it's a spiritual thing. So it says you can progressively 489 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: be changed as you mature spiritually. 490 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: So there's a level of maturity that comes with doing 491 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: the right things. 492 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: It's not just saying that you're a Christian, but you're 493 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: actively pursuing these things every single day. Mindset is my 494 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: mind thinking crazy things? Am I saying stupid things that 495 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: do not align with the Word of That's hard. I 496 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: don't know if I can do that. I'll never get 497 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 2: to that place. I wish that I was prettier. I 498 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: wish that I was more gifted like this person. I 499 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: wish that I could do. 500 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: More, But I can't. See you're not You can't be serious. 501 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: You can't be serious. 502 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 2: As you mature spiritually by the renewing of your mind. 503 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: Has this been an hour and forty five minutes? No, 504 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: Praise God, by the renewing of your mind focusing on 505 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: godly values. 506 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: And ethical attitudes. 507 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, Amplified Bible for doing the heavy lifting. I 508 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 2: couldn't have said it better myself. See, because this is 509 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: not when you come into this religion, when you come 510 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 2: into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Something is gonna 511 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: get affected. And it says here once you start reading 512 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 2: the words, see because the thing is, there was a 513 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: change that happened upon salvation. The moment you said, I 514 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son 515 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: of God and that I'm saved, that I've been forgiven 516 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: and I've been redeemed by the blood of Jesus. Something 517 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: that was dead on the inside of you came to life. 518 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: That was the first step. But now what's in the way. 519 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: It's our minds. 520 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: It's our circumstances, our upbringing that we've got to undo. 521 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: It's the jadedness of life, what's been thrown at us 522 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: ever since we were kids. 523 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: We gotta undo all of that stuff. And we don't 524 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: have to do it. 525 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: In fact, we can allow the Holy Spirit to do 526 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: the heavy lifting and through the renewing of our minds. 527 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: And here's the renewing of our minds. Because this is 528 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: what people miss. 529 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: It's the focus in on the godly values. Let's stop 530 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: there for a second. You're not doing things the way 531 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: you are. You aren't naturally gravitate towards angry. 532 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: There are so many pisses you off ah, and. 533 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 2: Then you start flying off the handle and you start 534 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: smacking people and throwing things. I can no longer identify 535 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: with that person. That is not the way that God 536 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 2: would do it. So what are the godly values? Living holy, 537 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: living a life that's pleasing to God, living a life 538 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: of obedience. Those are the values that I am now 539 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: gonna carry. Those are the things that are gonna be 540 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: meaningful to me, And at times I'm gonna have to 541 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: recite them because deep down inside they aren't really valuable. 542 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: I want to watch football on Sunday and not go 543 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: to church. But you know what, I'm going to dismiss 544 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: what my emotions want me to do, what my physical 545 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 2: body wants me to do. 546 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: And we're getting up at the. 547 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: Crack butt of dawn and we're putting our church clothes, 548 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: and we're gonna make it to church, even if I 549 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: have to park half a mile down the road to 550 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 2: get there. 551 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: See, I'm aligning my. 552 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: Values up with the reality of what I'm doing every 553 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: single day. That's what makes the difference. Anybody can say 554 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: they're a Christian whooped to do great. You want a cookie, 555 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 2: but the proof is what you're doing and what you're 556 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 2: aligning yourself up with if your focus is on a 557 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 2: godly attitude, the godly values. I'm not gonna say stupid 558 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 2: things anymore. I'm not gonna say things that are contrary 559 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: to the Word of God. It's impossible for me to 560 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: do it. I can't do it. No, I can do 561 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: all things through Christ, who gives me the strength. I'll 562 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 2: never say that. I can't say I can't do that. 563 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: I'll never be able to do that. No. In fact, 564 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 2: the moment I would ever even consider it, I say yes, 565 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 2: I'll do it because it ticks me off that I 566 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 2: would close myself off to certain things just because in 567 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: my mind I'm weak, just because I've never nobody in 568 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: my family's ever done it. So I guess it's just 569 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 2: I can't do it either. What see, But that's what 570 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: we do every single day. And look at this ethical attitudes. 571 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 2: So your attitude really does matter. If you've got stinking, 572 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: a stinky attitude, it's a huge divergent, it's a huge blocker. 573 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 1: Bro. People aren't gonna want. 574 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 2: To come around somebody with a nasty attitude. People aren't 575 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: gonna want to be around people that aren't serious about 576 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: the things that they're serious. If you're lighthearted, Eh, now 577 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 2: let's go party. You know you are going to attract 578 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: a certain kind of person. You don't want a bum 579 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: as a spouse. Why are you going to bars? Why 580 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 2: are you in booty shorts and a tank top with 581 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 2: your tatas out? You're expecting to find a good, wholesome, 582 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 2: godly man at the country concert with your booty shit, 583 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 2: hang in with your booty crack and your butt cheeks 584 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: coming down those booty shorts. 585 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Is it ain't gonna happen? 586 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 2: So you live a life that is pleasing to God 587 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: that you're you're you're an ethical attitude? 588 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 589 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 2: I'm looking at things and I'm keeping at the forefront 590 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: of everything I do. Is this pleasing to God? 591 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: Is this right? Is this morally right? Or am I 592 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: gonna pay for this? Because I've been doing. 593 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 2: It wrong a long time and I wish more people 594 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: would just come to that understanding. I've been doing it 595 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 2: wrong and this is the price that I've paid so far. Look, 596 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 2: empty empty pockets, no relationship. I'm not doing it right. 597 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: And if you just see that and then it's okay, 598 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: So then that this change is gonna be easy because 599 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: all the other years that I've spent doing it the 600 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: wrong way haven't brought me to a place where I'm satisfied. 601 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: So let's dissect this. Let's analyze this. 602 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: And say, man, this mindset sucks. This has not benefited 603 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 2: me one single minute of my stink in life. 604 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: So why am I. 605 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 2: Going to continue to pursue in that mindset. I'll change 606 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: my attitude. I'll live a life that's wholly. 607 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: And pleasing to you. But what does it come from? 608 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 2: By not conforming your thoughts, your values, your customs. 609 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: The Bible says, what do you hold valuable in your life? 610 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,479 Speaker 2: What are the things that you do every single day 611 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 2: of your life? And if it's if it mimics the world, 612 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 2: that's what you're gonna see. You're gonna see depression, you're 613 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 2: gonna see addiction, you're gonna see abuse, You're gonna see 614 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: all kinds. It's gonna be marked with all kinds of 615 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 2: darkness and death. But until you take it, let's boil 616 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 2: it down into the micro. What am I doing every 617 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 2: single day that reflects that I am no longer a 618 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 2: part of this world? 619 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: And that's where the true change happens. It's a spiritual thing. 620 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 2: It comes from the depths or you're being, and it's 621 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 2: solidified with the actions that you take common because then 622 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 2: once you start implementing those things. Let's go back to 623 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 2: that football. 624 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: I want to stay in. I want to watch football's 625 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: game day. But when you push. 626 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 2: That away and you say no, I am a man 627 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 2: of God, I'm taking my family to church, all of 628 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 2: a sudden in six months, you don't care about football. 629 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 2: There's a change that has happened because you took it seriously, 630 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, your childhood was depressed and suicidal, 631 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 2: would cut themselves. 632 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, that's gone. Why is it? 633 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: Because Daddy took his life seriously with Christ and he 634 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: made God a priority. And in making God a priority, 635 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 2: everything else benefited from it. Now I'm financially better off, 636 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 2: I'm more stable, my family's happier, there's peace, there's joy. 637 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 2: Why Because I take it seriously. I'm not just a talker. 638 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. I'm not just listening to the word. 639 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 2: I'm actually activating it by the things that I do 640 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: and the things that I say, so that you may 641 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: prove for yourself. This is where I'm going in We're 642 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 2: landing the plane. What the will of God is that 643 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 2: which is good and acceptable and perfect in his plan 644 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 2: and purpose for you. You can have a perfect, perfect plan 645 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 2: unravel right now in your life. And it's all because 646 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 2: you kept first things first. All because you quit doing 647 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 2: it the way you knew, the way your upbringing was 648 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 2: the way. This is how my grandma's to head down 649 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 2: with it, and this is I don't need no man. 650 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, where's your mom? Single? Miserable? Where's your grandmother? Shingles? 651 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 3: Okay? 652 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 2: And so the problem is now we're supposed to now 653 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 2: is just a man issue. Every man out there is. 654 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: Terrible. That's not accurate. That's not accurate, accurate at all. 655 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: So what is it? 656 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 2: It's it's those realities on the inside of you that 657 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 2: you've allowed to take root, are now what's becoming the 658 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 2: reality in your life. So you attract who you are. 659 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 2: That's why all of a sudden you start getting successful 660 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 2: and you're around successful people. 661 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: How did that happen? 662 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 2: Because successful people attract successful people. 663 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: And it's the same with the opposite of it. I 664 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: already went into it.

And the Bible says 696 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: that if we should, we should believe it so that 697 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: we can receive it. 698 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 2: And the Bible says that let the word of God 699 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: be true, and every man be a liar. So if 700 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 2: it's not actively ann manifesting in your life, then then 701 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 2: we need to change that position. No, it's because my 702 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 2: water bottles out here. Now, I'm gonna be up right here. 703 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it right. I'm gonna be serious about it. 704 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 2: I just don't have time to be in the Bible. 705 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 2: Then you don't have time to do it right. And 706 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 2: then you're not serious about a quality life, and you're 707 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 2: not serious about a happy marriage, and you're not serious 708 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 2: about raising godly children. You're not serious about having true 709 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 2: impact on society. You're not serious about leaving a good legacy, 710 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,439 Speaker 2: and you're not serious about making it to Heaven, which 711 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,240 Speaker 2: is the number one. 712 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: Priority and goal for every Christian taking a light stance 713 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: on it. When you just stop, when are you gonna 714 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: take this seriously? And all you gotta do is just 715 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: look at just renew your mind. 716 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 2: Don't conform your thoughts, your actions and the way you 717 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 2: do things to the world anymore. How you are, that's 718 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 2: no longer an excuse, sweetie pie, And that's gonna that's 719 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 2: such a beautiful thing, because now you can't say I'm 720 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 2: a byproduct of this and this is just the way 721 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: life isn't. No. It's interesting to me how two people 722 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: can have the exact same upbringing, but one decides, I'm 723 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 2: gonna live holy for the things of God, and I'm 724 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 2: gonna use whatever the enemy turn or used for for 725 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 2: my demise and my I'm gonna make that. 726 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: Work for my good. And here it is. 727 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 2: You see one skyrocket and they're successful and they're happy 728 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 2: in marriage, and then one person that believed the lie 729 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 2: and now was just slowly dying into oblivion because they 730 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 2: refuse to do it the way God had intended. There's 731 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 2: a way of doing it, and you either do it 732 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 2: or you don't do it, and it's not your business. 733 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: Listen. 734 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 2: I know, I know it hurts. I know it's difficult 735 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 2: when people wrong you and they harm you, and they 736 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: they damage you. I know it, of course I know it. 737 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 2: But here's the thing. 738 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: If that's gonna be the excuse for you not. 739 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 2: Entering into a church, there's just too much hypocrisy there. 740 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 2: What you are robbing yourself of a blessing, a huge blessing, 741 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 2: a necessary blessing. And when you understand that, if my 742 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 2: heart is pure before God, and this is how to 743 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 2: avoid all of that nonsense and specifically being jaded towards. 744 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: The things of God. 745 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 2: You might have had a harm done, you might have 746 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 2: been but hurt because of something that happened in church. 747 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: This is how to keep your heart from being affected 748 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 2: so that you can be free. Okay, this is how 749 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 2: to do it. You walk blamelessly before the Lord. 750 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: Amen. That's it. You walk blamelessly before the Lord. 751 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 2: Are you living a life of integrity, wholeness to the 752 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 2: Word of God? Are you living a life that is 753 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 2: pleasing to the Father. Do you have no ill intentions 754 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 2: for your brother? You genuinely love people, you genuinely love God. 755 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: Your actions will prove that. 756 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 2: See, because the Bible talks about a good tree producing 757 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 2: good fruit. So if your fruit, the fruit that you produce, 758 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 2: is good, it doesn't matter who tries to light that 759 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 2: tree on fire. It's going to continue to produce the fruit. 760 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 2: And if it takes you having to plant yourself in 761 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: a different place, then whatever anything that comes from me 762 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: is gonna be good. And so the enemy can try 763 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 2: and throw all kinds of assaults and attacks and all 764 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, but that's not that's none of 765 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 2: my business. 766 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: And I know it affects me, and it stings and 767 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: it hurts. 768 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 2: But the beautiful thing is when you keep your heart 769 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 2: blameless before the Lord, and you're doing everything to please God, 770 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 2: and you know there isn't one thing that I'm doing 771 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 2: that is of ill will or something that you know, 772 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 2: Like Daniel, they tried opinning him on something and they 773 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 2: couldn't find anything. He was just like a man of integrity, 774 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,760 Speaker 2: like we can't find anything. He lives a squeaky clean life. 775 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 2: And so if you're living that life, that kind of life, 776 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 2: you can never lose, even when somebody means harm, tries 777 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,399 Speaker 2: to bring you down, tries to spread rumors about you, 778 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 2: spread lies about you, do you understand that this kind 779 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 2: of attack that happens is actually promotion on the other 780 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 2: end of that. 781 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: And then you're thinking, but they were my best friends. 782 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 2: I had somebody posts that I reposted something someone said 783 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 2: and it was an Instagram and it says, uh, God 784 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 2: ended that friendship because he listened to conversations that you 785 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 2: knew nothing about. And so you just never know why 786 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 2: relationships end, why friendships end. But all you can control 787 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 2: is what you can control, and that's you. You can't 788 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: control other people, you can't control their actions. What you 789 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 2: can control is yourself. And so when you have these 790 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: things happen, how are you reacting? 791 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 1: I can't believe it? 792 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 2: And then you quit going to church and you're pissed 793 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 2: off at the world and everybody's the problem, and eh, see, 794 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 2: you missed out on what could have been a potential 795 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 2: catapult to the next level or a catalyst to the 796 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 2: blessing of God like you've never seen before. I've seen 797 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 2: it happen time and time again. If you keep your 798 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 2: heart right, if you allow God, he. 799 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: Said, I'm the vindicator. I'm gonna bring justice to the situation. 800 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: You mind your business. 801 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 2: I continue to drink my tea and sleep like a 802 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,439 Speaker 2: baby because I can't control outside forces. What I can't 803 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,479 Speaker 2: control is myself, and at times it stings. Did I cry, Yes, 804 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 2: Did it hurt? Yes? 805 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: But what I'm not gonna do is I'm not gonna. 806 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: Have that hatred and hurt start to permeate into my 807 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 2: heart and start to poison me from the inside out 808 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 2: where I stop believing for the best and I stop 809 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 2: believing in the best in people. 810 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: I can't do that. I won't do that. 811 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 2: I won't do it just because I've had salty friendships 812 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 2: or things go bad. I'll tell you, every single time 813 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 2: that has happened, there's always been a blessing on the 814 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 2: other end of it. And you know how I know 815 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 2: because of the fruit that I produce. And so what 816 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 2: the enemy meant to be a big deterrent, a big 817 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 2: that's the reason why she won't serve the Lord. That's 818 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 2: the reason I've seen it time and time again in 819 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,879 Speaker 2: my life. But how you receive that information and what 820 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 2: you do, how you allow for those outside circumstances to 821 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 2: affect you, it matters. Doing it the right way matters, 822 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 2: even now, even as a Christian. So now you're separating 823 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 2: yourself from that toxic childhood and you're doing things right, 824 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you see an attack within. 825 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 1: The church in Lego. It's all the same, is it. 826 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 2: Or is it something that the devil wanted to trip 827 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 2: you up? And you identify it. And it was just 828 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 2: like David he saw Goliath. He's talking smack and he's 829 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 2: not thinking fear. He's not running and hiding. He's saying, 830 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 2: this is the time where I'm going to attack. And 831 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 2: I'll see the promotion of that. And that's all so 832 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 2: nothing that ever happens to me. I'm looking for the 833 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 2: promotion on the other end, I can't control it. I 834 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 2: can control my heart. I'll keep my mind studied on 835 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 2: the word of God. I'll allow him to heal my 836 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 2: broken heart. It might be shattered into a million pieces, 837 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 2: but you know what, he takes those pieces, He mends 838 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 2: my broken heart. I put it in his hands and 839 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 2: he does the heavy lifting, and I just smile and 840 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,359 Speaker 2: continue to believe the best in people, and continue to 841 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 2: have good, meaningful relationships, and continue to go to church 842 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,840 Speaker 2: because I'm not there for anybody but God. And I 843 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 2: realize that commitment is something that I told myself. I'm 844 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 2: committed to doing till the day I breathe my last 845 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 2: breath or I'm taken up out of here in rapture. 846 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 2: Be serious about it and understand spiritual things. So in 847 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 2: the name of Jesus' Father, bless every person that's watching, 848 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 2: and I pray that this becomes a reality. Everything that's 849 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 2: wrong in our lives. We can pin it right back 850 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 2: to us. What am I doing that's not right? And 851 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 2: if it just be throwing my cares all of the 852 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 2: anxiety that I have about life in general and casting 853 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 2: it at your feet, if that's what you require me 854 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 2: to do, I won't pick up that care and that 855 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 2: anxiety another day in my life. Father, I pray that 856 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 2: this would become a reality that that's just so simple, 857 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 2: so basic. All we need to do is get in 858 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 2: your word and not do it the way we've always 859 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 2: done it. There's a proper way of doing it. And 860 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 2: I pray that by your spirit you'd speak to the 861 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 2: people as. 862 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: To what that is for them. In Jesus' name, I 863 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: love you. Bye.
