Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: All right, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida.
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is the Ember Show, your host, Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:08Speaker 1: let's jump into prayer. Lord, Father that art in heaven,
- 0:11Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:12Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit, be able to speak through this mic,
- 0:16Speaker 1: be able to go through the listener's ears, and be
- 0:19Speaker 1: able to reach their hearts and minds, and be able
- 0:21Speaker 1: to apply these verses to their lives. In the Lord
- 0:24Speaker 1: Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen. And I'm not alone.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I've got my brother with me. We are recording this outside.
- 0:31Speaker 1: And I am a listener as well. When the Holy
- 0:33Speaker 1: Spirit takes over and really speaks through me, this is
- 0:37Speaker 1: my voice. But it is not my tone. It is
- 0:40Speaker 1: not my spirit alone. Let's get into it. Ephesians chapter,
- 0:45Speaker 1: verse of the day on the Bible app. I highly
- 0:46Speaker 1: encourage you to grab your Bible or get on your
- 0:48Speaker 1: Bible apps and read along as you hear along. So Ephesians...
- 0:56Speaker 1: Chapter 6, verse 18 states, as you stand strongly like that. Ooh,
- 1:02Speaker 1: I love that. As you stand strongly like that, always
- 1:06Speaker 1: pray for God's help. Let me stop right there before
- 1:10Speaker 1: I even go any deeper. To stand strongly and to pray.
- 1:18Speaker 1: So when you feel strong, when you feel like you
- 1:22Speaker 1: have the courage to take on the world, pray because
- 1:27Speaker 1: God's help is going to make it easier to be
- 1:33Speaker 1: not only to recover but be able to follow through
- 1:38Speaker 1: with what you're capable of doing being strong is an
- 1:45Speaker 1: action so pray about everything as God's spirit helps you
- 1:52Speaker 1: to pray this is so true There's so many times
- 1:56Speaker 1: that I'm praying and I start to feel like I'm
- 1:58Speaker 1: repeating what I've already said and I catch myself and
- 2:03Speaker 1: the Spirit takes over and starts praying for people that
- 2:07Speaker 1: are in my life or for different scenarios that need
- 2:11Speaker 1: to be prayed for. Really just giving thanks. There's been
- 2:14Speaker 1: numerous times where I've started prayers where I've just said,
- 2:17Speaker 1: Lord Father, that art's in heaven. Thank you. Amen. Amen.
- 2:23Speaker 1: In Jesus' name I pray, amen. Something as simple as
- 2:25Speaker 1: that goes a longer ways than a prayer that lasts
- 2:31Speaker 1: for an hour or two hours. Because everything is already written.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I can go even deeper into it, but I want
- 2:39Speaker 1: to get into this verse because it's so impactful. And
- 2:44Speaker 1: we're still in Ephesians chapter 6, verse 18. So it's
- 2:53Speaker 1: so powerful what's about to be said next because the
- 2:58Speaker 1: Spirit is leading. Pray about everything as God's Spirit helps
- 3:04Speaker 1: you to pray. Listen to this next part. I've already
- 3:08Speaker 1: said that first part. For this purpose, watch carefully all
- 3:13Speaker 1: the time. Also, continue to pray for all God's people everywhere.
- 3:24Speaker 1: see how it said everywhere not just for your circle
- 3:30Speaker 1: of people watch carefully I had a man tell me
- 3:37Speaker 1: you always look like you're watchful your eyes are going
- 3:39Speaker 1: everywhere I'm like yeah I like to know my surroundings
- 3:49Speaker 1: so Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18 really talks about prayer
- 3:58Speaker 1: because it says it one two three four times in
- 4:03Speaker 1: this verse and the power of prayer i've talked about
- 4:07Speaker 1: this a lot it's okay to go to church it's
- 4:11Speaker 1: okay to praise and get into the worship but the
- 4:14Speaker 1: most important thing that you can do the thing that's
- 4:18Speaker 1: going to get you to heaven Is actually knowing Jesus.
- 4:22Speaker 1: By having a relationship with him. Not only. Just praying
- 4:28Speaker 1: for your request. And if you're doing that. It's not
- 4:32Speaker 1: that it's necessarily. A bad thing. There just is. Your
- 4:41Speaker 1: own journey. And your own improvements. As the Holy Spirit
- 4:46Speaker 1: works on you. As it has worked on me. And
- 4:48Speaker 1: millions of other people. Being patient with shedding the older
- 4:54Speaker 1: version of you as the Spirit takes over your spirit.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Because before the Holy Spirit can come in you, your
- 5:04Speaker 1: ego and pride have to literally die. And that's a
- 5:09Speaker 1: painful transition because we are creatures of habit, of routines, right?
- 5:16Speaker 1: Let the Spirit lead though. Let the Spirit lead. And
- 5:20Speaker 1: I say that because I don't need to make this
- 5:23Speaker 1: about me. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 19. Please pray for
- 5:31Speaker 1: me too. Pray that God will give me the right
- 5:37Speaker 1: message to speak. Pray that I will not be afraid
- 5:41Speaker 1: to tell people about God's good news. This is very crucial.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Because praying for people that need the prayer to be
- 5:57Speaker 1: in relationship with Jesus is one thing. But being able
- 6:02Speaker 1: to speak the right message, you have to have the
- 6:06Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Because it is a flow. It is not
- 6:11Speaker 1: only just the Word. The Word is great when I'm
- 6:15Speaker 1: speaking about the Bible, when I say the Word. The
- 6:18Speaker 1: spirit though, the Holy Spirit is something that knows all, everything.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Knows when people are watching. Knows when their spirits are watching.
- 6:38Speaker 1: And the senses that you obtain when you really connect
- 6:45Speaker 1: with The Holy Spirit through the relationship of Jesus Christ.
- 6:51Speaker 1: That's the only way you can do God's will. And
- 6:55Speaker 1: I say that because it is a must to know
- 6:59Speaker 1: who to pray to. People may say, oh, I pray
- 7:04Speaker 1: to God. Well, who's your God? God can't even be reached.
- 7:10Speaker 1: We can only reach through God through relationship with Jesus Christ.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Because his spirit was here. And he also ascended up.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And came back down with. The gift. Yeah. So. I
- 7:32Speaker 1: get really passionate about this. Forgive me. There's somebody's horn
- 7:38Speaker 1: going off. But I want to dive deeper into this
- 7:43Speaker 1: real quick. Huh. Pray that I will not be afraid
- 7:48Speaker 1: to tell people about God's good news. I'm going over
- 7:51Speaker 1: this because we're making these verses simple and to apply
- 7:55Speaker 1: them to our lives. Sometimes we got to repeat. They
- 8:01Speaker 1: may say, oh, programs, church, it's all brainwashed. Yeah, that's
- 8:07Speaker 1: because our brains need to be washed. Needs to be
- 8:10Speaker 1: reminded of principles of not only just Following commands. We're
- 8:17Speaker 1: all hypocrites because we all fall short of Jesus. Let's
- 8:20Speaker 1: just make that clear. God has sent me to tell
- 8:23Speaker 1: people the good news on his behalf. And that is
- 8:27Speaker 1: why I am now in prison. So pray that I
- 8:30Speaker 1: will speak God's message bravely. As I ought to speak it. See.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Being in even prison. Praising and praising. Reading the Bible
- 8:43Speaker 1: is great, but you're going to need that prayer. And
- 8:45Speaker 1: that's why it says, God's message bravely. Even in the
- 8:55Speaker 1: bad times, thank the Lord. Even in the good times,
- 8:59Speaker 1: really go do something for someone else. Paul finishes his letter.
- 9:04Speaker 1: This is verse 21 and we'll close out. My Christian friend, Titicus,
- 9:11Speaker 1: will tell you all the good news about me. He
- 9:15Speaker 1: works hard as the Lord's servant. He will tell you
- 9:18Speaker 1: about what is happening here. Then you will know what
- 9:22Speaker 1: I am doing and how I am. God reveals things.
- 9:27Speaker 1: God reveals things to us through the Spirit to know
- 9:34Speaker 1: what is really true and what is really false. And
- 9:40Speaker 1: having that ability to not judge anyone as well though.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Realizing that we all will make errors. I want to
- 9:51Speaker 1: close out right here and just thank you to the
- 9:53Speaker 1: listener for pressing play. And I just want to highly
- 9:57Speaker 1: encourage you to... get in relationship with Jesus by just praying.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Like you would talk to a best friend or something.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I really do. Because there are a lot of times
- 10:12Speaker 1: in this life we are alone in the physical. There's
- 10:15Speaker 1: no way around it. You have to be okay with
- 10:18Speaker 1: being with yourself. But if you understand. That you have
- 10:22Speaker 1: someone that's always there. When you are by yourself. It changes. Everything.
- 10:31Speaker 1: You start to see the brighter side of things. Because
- 10:36Speaker 1: the brighter things become. Unknown. To your awareness. Being known.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Is being. Not just accepted. But being cared for. Jesus
- 10:56Speaker 1: didn't come for those that had power in the kingdoms.
- 11:06Speaker 1: He didn't come for those that figured out that their
- 11:11Speaker 1: will is more important than other people's peace or we
- 11:16Speaker 1: can keep going down the list. I'm not going to
- 11:18Speaker 1: do that. But people's pride and their egos and everything
- 11:24Speaker 1: has taken shape and form because God created such a
- 11:30Speaker 1: creative human in all of us to be able to
- 11:36Speaker 1: be whatever we want to be. So to choose to
- 11:43Speaker 1: not give glory to God while He gave you everything
- 11:50Speaker 1: Just sounds kind of odd. And I have been in
- 11:53Speaker 1: that situation. I have not always been a believer. I
- 11:56Speaker 1: have not always been a follower. And when I was
- 11:59Speaker 1: a believer. I was also doing other things. Let's keep
- 12:05Speaker 1: it 100. And now that I can be that beacon
- 12:11Speaker 1: of light. By allowing the Holy Spirit. It's all about
- 12:14Speaker 1: vibrations and energies. If you understand that. You can change
- 12:21Speaker 1: those vibrations. You can change those frequencies. You can change those.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Energies by tapping into. Praying obviously. Worshipping. Getting around like
- 12:35Speaker 1: minded people. That want to be more spiritual. And. Smiling
- 12:42Speaker 1: and kindness. Is actually more contagious. Than being ignorant. And being.
- 12:49Speaker 1: like a bully and we all still kind of rough
- 12:54Speaker 1: around the edges and I say we because each and
- 12:57Speaker 1: every one of us have similar stories does not matter
- 13:00Speaker 1: where we come from we all were formed together in
- 13:05Speaker 1: our mom's womb so we have to keep this in
- 13:08Speaker 1: mind I got less than two minutes if you didn't
- 13:11Speaker 1: get anything out of this episode I'm sorry but there's
- 13:13Speaker 1: plenty of more other episodes I highly encourage you to
- 13:16Speaker 1: check out And most importantly, what I represent is the
- 13:22Speaker 1: relationship with Jesus Christ. I spread the gospel through the Bible.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Being able to apply the verses to our lives is
- 13:31Speaker 1: exactly what my calling is. Because I know how to
- 13:38Speaker 1: not only use the app properly and be able to
- 13:42Speaker 1: put it in a version that not only I can
- 13:44Speaker 1: understand but you, the listener, can understand. Is being able
- 13:49Speaker 1: to be in parables like Jesus Christ was. He always
- 13:52Speaker 1: liked to illustrate. He always liked to try to explain.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Because it was very hard to understand. Just like man
- 13:59Speaker 1: has made the Bible so hard to understand. There was
- 14:03Speaker 1: so much darkness before Jesus came along. So they didn't
- 14:06Speaker 1: know how to live. Now we know how to live.
- 14:09Speaker 1: There's millions of followers of Christ here on this earth.
- 14:16Speaker 1: And it's up to us. To not only just spread
- 14:18Speaker 1: the gospel, but actually live out the gospel. And be
- 14:23Speaker 1: what Jesus Christ would want us to be. And can
- 14:27Speaker 1: be molded into exactly what God wanted us to be.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play. This is the Ember Show.
