There's so many things in the Bible, like, 769 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 4: for one, it says like, if you have a faith 770 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 4: of a mustard seed, you can tell this mountain to 771 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 4: get up and go into the water and it will 772 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 4: be done. But the first under it, where a lot 773 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 4: of Bible translations that take it out, is like this 774 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 4: kind of act does not happen unless you pray and fast, 775 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 4: because the fast thing is the denial of your flesh, 776 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 4: giving your flesh the things that it needs. 777 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 778 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 4: The whole battle between for a believer is the battle 779 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: with the spirit and the flesh. They wrestle each and 780 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 4: every day of our lives. And it's whatever you give 781 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 4: into more is what you feed more, you know what 782 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 4: I mean. The more you stay in bed, the more 783 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 4: you feed the flesh, because the flesh doesn't want to 784 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 4: get out of bed, things like that. The flesh does 785 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 4: not want to read the Bible, you know what I mean. 786 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 4: So you're coming going into that, Lad, there's what you 787 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 4: call it the battle of the flesh that to kind 788 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 4: of like overcome that, Lad, Yes, that's mad.

But 847 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: when you're fast and you can't. 848 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 4: Sleep, you're fast fast and you're seeking God, so you 849 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 4: seek him in prayer and and reading his word, bro. 850 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 4: So like, just look to God and everything every battle 851 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 4: you come across.

I think. 860 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 3: I think most of the audience out there, you know, 861 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 3: they really need to tap into these these things. I 862 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 3: don't think no one really talks about the fasting phases. 863 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 3: You know, as a believer, everyone talks about Jesus and YadA, YadA, YadA, 864 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 3: but there's actually more that goes into it. 865 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: So it's fasting is just one of them. You know. 866 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: As a believer, fast thing is it's very what do 867 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: you call it? Do you think it's it's necessary, like 868 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: we have to do it? 869 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, Yeah, I reckon it says it in the 870 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 3: Bible is all like h K was saying, and it 871 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 3: gets it gets flown over a lot of people's heads, 872 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 3: even a lot of believers. You know, sometimes even sometimes 873 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: believers sometimes think that they don't need a fast, but 874 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 3: fast thing is definitely part of the believer. It's it's 875 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 3: definitely something that does feed the Holy Spirit. As well, yeah, 876 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 3: just fighting that that flesh, you know, fighting the worldly things. 877 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 3: That's that's some real crazy stuff. 878 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 4: Man and man in the in the in the Bible, 879 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 4: the Pharisees were were pointing at the disciples and the 880 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 4: disciples of Jesus Christ, and he was like, they were like, 881 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 4: what why why don't your disciples fast? And Jesus is like, 882 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 4: they don't fast because I'm present, you know what I mean. 883 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,919 Speaker 4: And then when I go, then they will continue to fast. Yeah, 884 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 4: that I need to fast because the Lord is with them, 885 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. 886 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 1: So when he's powerful, them tapping back into the Holy 887 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: Spirit fasting and oh he actually went deep into your 888 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: life stuff that I never knew about you. That's crazy. 889 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: And I actually from the house up, I actually thought 890 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: you and your family was like similar to us, like 891 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: very close. So you went for a phase where you 892 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: weren't close to them. 893 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 4: I wasn't really close to them, like like through my 894 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 4: whole well, I was tired with my cousins. But my 895 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 4: cousin's a different story, you know. But yeah, me and 896 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 4: my cousin was all my cousins. Yeah, all my cousins 897 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 4: was type with but the siblings more like look at 898 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 4: me like, yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, at 899 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 4: the younger ones. Yeah, I copt that my whole life 900 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 4: pretty much. 901 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: And you had a partner back then and she was 902 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: pretty much what you're holding onto back then. Once you 903 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: got rid of that, so that's when you started chasing 904 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: the Lord. Yeah. Yeah, And did you end up finding 905 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: another part? Nah? Nah. 906 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 4: Right now it's like trying to discern what's from the 907 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 4: Lord and what isn't. And right now it's like I'm 908 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 4: just focusing on God's will for my life. And you know, 909 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 4: the desire to get married and things is ever so present, 910 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 4: like it's always going to be present with me. But 911 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 4: it's more finding the right one and finding the right helper. 912 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 4: Because he says in the Bible that the men are 913 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 4: the leaders, bro, then the women are the helpers. So 914 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 4: when I go into ministries, when I go and do 915 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 4: things for the Lord, what is my woman doing for me? 916 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 917 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 4: For she has to submit to me, and I submit 918 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 4: to Jesus Christ in this Unify come one in Christ. 919 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: Lad. 920 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 4: So I want to lead the relationship, but she got 921 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 4: to help me too, and we bounce off each other. 922 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: Lad. 923 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's not if I'm going if I have 924 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 4: a wife and she doesn't help me, Lad, I'm going 925 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 4: to struggle in ministries.
