Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: God bless you and welcome to the secret place with Pastor Millie.
- 0:05SPEAKER_00: I want you to quiet your mind, take a deep breath, breathe out, and just think about you and God, nothing else.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: Maybe today you're wondering, and you're saying, and you're asking yourself, God, what's going on, God?
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: God, what is it that I'm doing that is causing me to feel alone?
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: And I want you to receive this word and I want you to make this word yours.
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: You're not alone.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: Because you have what you need and what you want.
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: You have the presence of God in your life.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: You have God rooting for you.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: I don't care what they have labeled you, what they say about you, you are blessed and highly favored.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: And today the title that I'm gonna give this is When God Separates You.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: When God separates you, there is a purpose for that.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: And we're gonna go to the book of 2 Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 17.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: It says, Come out from them and be separated, says the Lord.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: If you look in the Bible and you read the Bible, we see a lot of stories with families.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: We see things that have happened, the separation, everything that has happened.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: But we see that God allows it so you can know that you will have affliction in this world.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: You will face storms, trials.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's gonna feel like an earthquake.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: But God is calling you to separate.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Separate, says the Lord, and come out from them and be separated.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Separation sometimes can feel lonely, especially when you do not understand why certain relationships, certain places, environments, or habits no longer soothe you, no longer fits your life.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: It is God calling you to something deeper, something that will bless you in abundance.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: There are times when God calls us away from things that interferes with obedience, holiness, peace, or purpose.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: There's so many times that God calls us away from that.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: Because haven't you noticed the drama of this world, the gossip of this world, the evil of this world makes you feel overwhelmed, can make you feel like you want to give up.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: And you say, God, why?
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Why am I hearing this?
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: Why is this happening?
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: And is God telling you, separate.
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: Give yourself that power boost by separating and putting God first in everything.
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: Separation is not no excuse, no excuse or an excuse to believe that you are better than other people.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: Not at all.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: It is a call to become more available to God.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: When we're not separated, we're not available to God.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: We're so surrounded by the noise of this world, the evil that's going on in this world, the pollution that is contaminating the lives of many people.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Because that's what happens when you're always feeling that you want to fit in, that you want to be with a crowd, that you want to be accepted by everybody.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: That same little crowd will be the little crowd that will make you feel at some point in time that you're not worth it, you're not good enough.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: That's why when you separate for God, God will make you feel that you're good enough, that you're worth it, and that he died for you.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: And there's no other excuse that can overcome the fact that Jesus died for you and for me in the cross of Calvary.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: And that's what God wants you to know.
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: God wants you to know that when you separate for him, you give him time, you pray, you read your word, you you seclude yourself to a point of it's just you and me, God.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: It's you and me, God.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: God, this timing is for you.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: This timing I dedicated just for you.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: So ask God, what is he asking you to release today?
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: Then obey without hatred, without being arrogant or unnecessary drama.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: Sometimes separation is only a preparation.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: And sometimes we see, like, wait a minute, why is it, Lord, that everyone I love or everyone I I trusted, they turned on me.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: It wasn't them that turned on you, it was God pulling you away because God has great things for your life.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: You know, a new environment, new changes, new atmosphere.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: It all starts when you separate for God.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: May this word empower you to know that you are special.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: And then when you feel alone, just say this, God, you are with me.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Because think about it.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: At the end of the day, it is just you and God.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: Look, when this COVID came, what happened?
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: Separation.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: But separation had to happen for the preparation to occur.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Sometimes God's gotta separate you so He can prepare you.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: So separation defines preparation.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: Think about it, do not be sad.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: Make your time in this earth what well worth it.
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: Do things that will make you feel good.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: Stop listening to the lying voices that makes you feel like you're not gonna move forward.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: Cut loose all the gossip, all the drama, all the things that is just weighing you down.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna make you feel better, it's gonna make you feel worse.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: But when you separate, God will prepare you and God will speak to you through dreams, through visions, through people that are solely seeking Him.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: Today I want to say this prayer for you, and I pray that this word touch your heart, your mind, and I want you to know that God has great plans for you.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: Stop believing the lies and start believing the truth.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, Lord, show us anything that is interfering with our walk with you, Lord.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: Give us courage to release what you are asking us to leave behind, Lord.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: Keep our hearts humble and loving through every transition that we go through.
