• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Hall right coming to you live from Alta Monte Springs Forwarder.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: This is the Ember show your host Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer, Lord Father, that Art's in heaven.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: mic and go through the listener's ears, and be able
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: apply these verses to their lives and the Lord Jesus
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Christ's name. I pray a men. I also wanna add
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to that that I hope that this podcast gives you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: not only like the study aspect, but some inspiration, some encouragement.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of times where yes, the Holy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Spirit is taken over. There are sometimes where you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: my perspectives and my experience, my my strengths and my
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: hopes that I've been able to endure through the process
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of this journey of not only just following Christ, but
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: believing in Christ. And then also periods of time where
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like us all we didn't have a relationship with Christ.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And there's so many more that are out there that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: have not even heard about Jesus Christ, believe it or not.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And that's obviously in some other countries, and there may
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: be some people here as well in the US. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I want to give you something that has been given
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to me. And that's why one of the main reasons
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: why I do this, because what I am doing with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: recording these episodes for the Lord is I've been able
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to be saved nothing from what I can do besides
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: making that choice to have that relationship with Jesus. We're
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: going to be talking about loneliness tonight. We're also going
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to be talking about boredom as well. So when we're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: jumping into the Bible and what it says about the loneliness,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'll get into the boredom part. So we'll start out
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: with the loneliness. It's kind of like a part one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of this fifteen minute episode. So please hang tight, don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: go nowhere, And I highly encourage you to grab your
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Bible or get on your Bible up and read along
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: as you hear along. You don't have to, but I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: also highly encourage to eliminate all distractions right now. Focus
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on the relationship with Jesus, Focus on my voice, focus
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on the words, try not to be distracted by your notifications.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: If you're on your phone. Try not to be disturbed
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in any fashion because you're not going to be able
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to obtain or soak this in. If you're multitasking, doesn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: matter how great of a multitasker you are. Please keep
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in mind, I know what I'm talking about, so Isaiah,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Chapter forty three, Verse one through two states, and they're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: pretty long versus not long, but they're long enough. God
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: promises to rescue Israel real. It really boils down to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when we're talking about the loneliness. Before I jump into
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this is you could be in a crowd full of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: people and still feel alone. I'm gonna get into why
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you feel that way. I those rites and descendants of Jacob.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The Lord created you, and he made you who you are.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Now he says this to you again like in the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: last episode, do not be afraid. I have rescued you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: so that you belong to me. I have called you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: by your name, so now you were mine. Verse two states.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: When you go through deep water, I will be with you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: When you go across dangerous rivers, you will not drown.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You will walk through fire. It will not burn you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The flames will not destroy you. Now I want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: be able to allow you the listener to be able
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to understand this, because I understand that the Bible can
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: be very confusing on like how do I apply these
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to my life when it comes to these verses, because
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this was written so long ago, but this is the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: word of God. It was now, it was then, it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is now, and will it will continue. It's the best
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: selling book on this earth for a reason. But there
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are some teaching, some preachings that can get a little confusing,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: especially when you're new, or you're just coming back, or
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you're really just kind of lost. So that's why I'm here,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that's my purpose. One of them. Do not be afraid.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's the first sentence, right after it explained god promises
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: are not like ours. He follows through. Now, I'm not
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: saying all the promises we make don't follow through. But
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: when we're talking about how we as a country are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: definitely suffering with this topic and it is becoming an illness.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that are lonely, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: when we talk about loneliness, that can cause ripple effects
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the emotional tangle of your well being.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: There is a reason you are feeling lonely, and then
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we're gonna jump into Isaiah chapter forty three, verse five.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: There is a reason why you are being isolated in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this season. I can't tell you why. You have to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: find out why. There are questions that you can ask
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and in due time, sometimes instantly, sometimes slowly,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: things will be revealed to you. People, places, in things
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that you have chose have given you what you have received.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now you must change those routines. You can't go to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the same kind of people. You can't go to the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: same places. You can't keep doing the same things and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: expect a different result. If it didn't work with the people, places,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and things, right, are they stopped working right? There has
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to be a time where we cut that off. People,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: places and things that are not feeding one our purpose,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: giving us any happiness, giving us any joy, anything that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: brings too much comfort as well. Too much comfort is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: not good. There is a time and place for everything. Obviously,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you need to work on something projects, be creative job.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Then you have rest, Then you have time with God
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and those things. Finding that balance. I believe, as us
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: as a human race, a lot of us struggle with that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I know I have. I'll admit it. As the twenty
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: years of being a believer. I was terrible at time management,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and I can get into that, but I won't because
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it kind of speaks for itself the statement I just stated.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You know so, I want you to realize this as
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we get into Isaiah chapter forty three, verse five, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna get into boredom. I want you to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: keep this next verse if you can write it down.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: If you can't, if you're in your Bible or you're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in your Bible, a highlight this. The spirit is telling
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: me this. Isaiah chapter forty three, verse five states I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: am with you, so do not be afraid. There we
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: go with do not be afraid again. I will bring
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: your descendants from the east. I will also bring you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: together from the west. No matter what God has for you,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: God has for you, the people that are meant to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be in your life, God's gonna find a way to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: get them in there. I know this from experience. For
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: two years, close to two years, I was in recovery
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and not really looking for a relationship, not really looking
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for anything in particular besides my recovery, my faith, seeing
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: my mom, and while doing those things, a blessing came
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: along because the more and more that you work on yourself.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The more and more that you actually do God's will,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and the more that you actually suit up and show up,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: God suits up and shows up for you. If he
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: sees you putting in the effort, if he sees it
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in your heart that you want this, He'll meet you halfway.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: We can't continue to use God as a genie though.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We can't continue to not thank the Lord for everything
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that he's done, both for now and what he will
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: do past, present, future. I want to make this clear.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody is promised tomorrow. So today is your day, your moment.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: This is the moment, and you really need to give
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: yourself a little bit more credit because there's somebody that's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: listening to this, and you could be doing anything right now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You could be connecting to anything, any person right now.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You could be doing anything right now, be in any place.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: But you're listening to a Bible study. You're listening to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the word of God. You're listening to a follower of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Christ that has been in your predicaments. Realizing that when
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you are feeling that boredom, right, is that cause that's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: how we're gonna transition. Cause loneliness and boredom kind of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: go hand in hand, right, And as I just reached
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the eleven eleven mark of this podcast, don't be afraid
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to be alone. Don't be afraid to be bored, because
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that is your opportunity when you are alone, When you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: are bored, so to speak, that's really just peace and disguise.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Everybody loves excitement. Everybody loves to have people to rely on.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: People in general are socially sociable species. You know, animals,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: they had their own little language too, but they don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: talk like us. They. I mean, at the end of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the day, everything coexists with itsself. But when I think
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: about as I have overcome depression, I have overcome that
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: loneliness feeling, and I've also overcome the boredom. Anytime that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I start to feel some type of way too deep,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's also my intuition. I've come to find out that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's telling me you need to do something, you need
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to go talk to somebody, you need to go to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a place, you need to do something productive, without even
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: telling me verbally. My body, something in my body tells me.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a tug. Right when you're feeling bored,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it almost feels like you're just being like you're just
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: here and you're just it's so dull, right, That is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the narrow way to Jesus Christ himself. It is almost
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: like him knocking at your door, like, look, you've done
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this today or you've done that yesterday. You continue to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: do you continue to go to the gym, or you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: continue to binge watch Netflix. You continue to do these
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: things right, and they're not fulfilling you consistently. Now, I've
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: also talked about this balance right, and I got one
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: minute balancing your time. You know you have twenty four
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: hours in a day. What are you gonna do with
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: each hour? This he's just gonna be for selfish. You're
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: just gonna stay in your emotions. You're just gonna stay
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in your thoughts. Are you gonna get outside of your head,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: get outside of your body for a minute, and go
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: help somebody by being a having a listening ear for
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: them so they can be able to talk, go out
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in nature and take a walk, be able to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: around water, be around animals. The gifts that God has
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: given us we overlook and we look at a black
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: screen all day or a big TV, and we do
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: these certain things right that are drifting us away, Like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: We're in the ocean and the shore is God, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: we'll just keep continuing to drift and drift away. Take
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: time when you feel bored and lonely to talk to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: your higher power. And I hope you high power it's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ himself. Allow that Holy Spirit to fill that void.
• 14:58
