- 0:35All right. Welcome back.
- 0:37Thank you for those that have been listening and those that
- 0:38are new welcome. Welcome back.
- 0:42And before we start, we always pray so.
- 0:45Amen. Lord, thank you for allowing us
- 0:47to be here when you guide us and lead us into the absolute truth,
- 0:53for there's no one greater than you.
- 0:55Amen. Amen.
- 0:58Amen. Amen.
- 0:59Here we go. Why would you look at that?
- 1:03Just a little bit about the World Cup.
- 1:07France is out. Awesome.
- 1:09I'm so happy they're out and. Right.
- 1:13Yeah, that's true. That is true.
- 1:15And yeah, and then Argentina's advancing to the finals, yeah.
- 1:20Yeah, for for those who pay attention, it's soccer.
- 1:23Yeah, but yeah, but that's not what we're talking about.
- 1:26But it's crazy. It's crazy.
- 1:30A lot of people are crying. A lot of people are.
- 1:32It's just a game. Yeah, it's just a game at the
- 1:34end of the day. I don't really care that much.
- 1:37It doesn't. It doesn't bother me at the end
- 1:39of the day, but yeah, on my way here, man, I was, you know, I
- 1:45was thinking about something. What?
- 1:47Were you thinking about? Like, like there's doubt and
- 1:51then there's discouragement. Interesting.
- 1:54So you're, you're well, you're implying they're, they're not
- 1:59the same. Maybe you can correct me if I'm
- 2:02wrong, but I don't. I don't.
- 2:03I don't think they're the same. Discouragement is more like,
- 2:09like you feel like there's just no other way.
- 2:11And then but it's not like it's not like you're doubting.
- 2:17It's just you believe in it so much and you're just like, wait,
- 2:23OK, So like how does this continue going?
- 2:28I don't know. I don't know, explain it.
- 2:29But then doubt is more like, like you're just like, Oh yeah,
- 2:34this is not going to happen whatsoever.
- 2:37Discouragement is I know that there is something behind this
- 2:42wall, but man, how am I going to get how am I going to get past
- 2:46this wall or something like that?
- 2:47You know what I mean, right? But you still, you still believe
- 2:50in it and you work it. You try to break it, you try to
- 2:53breakthrough that wall and then. So I mean, just just so that
- 3:00we're on the same page, you're saying that is something where
- 3:11in the way you're saying it is. It's not coming to pass.
- 3:14It's not gonna happen. You know this is gonna.
- 3:16Happen. Just give up, yeah?
- 3:17Versus discouragement is something where maybe it's
- 3:24something to do emotionally. Yeah, I mean it.
- 3:28It does have something to do emotionally, I guess you can
- 3:31say, but. What were you saying about
- 3:32discouragement? But discouragement is more like,
- 3:34like you know, you know, like you have faith, you, you.
- 3:38So discouragement doesn't mean lack of faith or or information.
- 3:42Not of not discouragement, no, no way.
- 3:44I don't. I don't think it means a lack of
- 3:47faith at all. Or information or.
- 3:50Information. You don't give you an example,
- 3:54right? I can give you an example in
- 3:55scripture. I never really thought about it.
- 3:58No, I mean neither. It's just I'm over here.
- 4:02I was like, listen, I don't doubt.
- 4:05I was like, I was, you know, I was like saying my mind, I'm
- 4:06like, I don't doubt. But I feel like some sort of
- 4:10discouragement for some reason. Now at the night I begin to
- 4:13think, for example, Elijah. Elijah didn't doubt.
- 4:21No way. He doubted.
- 4:23He believed in God. He he had faith.
- 4:24In No. Yeah, he witnessed it.
- 4:26He. Witnessed it, yeah.
- 4:27You know, he ran away and felt discouraged because he's like,
- 4:31wow, these people still. You mean after all they
- 4:34witnessed still still after me and I'm the only prophet?
- 4:39That's what he thought. So he thought, yeah.
- 4:41So could you say maybe there was another minute of both for him,
- 4:46but not doubt in God? Nah, maybe doubt in like.
- 4:50Because when I say doubt, I'm taught logically.
- 4:53Doubt is like you doubt because you don't have enough
- 4:55information. In other words, you doubt
- 4:58because you don't know so much of the unknown.
- 5:01Right. So you're saying that doubt is
- 5:02there's like a spectrum of doubt?
- 5:04Yeah, I guess, I guess, yeah, because I've really never
- 5:08thought about it actually. That's a good one.
- 5:10That's actually really good. Never really thought about
- 5:14doubt. If doubt or discouragement are
- 5:16both the same, it seems like they can be, but at the same
- 5:20time they're not. And that all depends on what you
- 5:25mean by doubt. You know, that's true.
- 5:28I will say this because, you know, at the end of the day, God
- 5:33hates doubt. He hates it and you can see it
- 5:36in the Old Testament. Really.
- 5:38You like, for example, the people of Israel when, when this
- 5:41witness God's power and then yet they still doubt.
- 5:44They still doubted like about when the two spies went went to
- 5:49go see the the city and they saw giants and then they were like,
- 5:53Oh, just it, it would have been better if we just stayed in
- 5:56Egypt and this and that. And then God was like, and then
- 5:58God would started destroying them, you know.
- 6:01So at the end of the day, I think it comes down to like the
- 6:05heart. The heart, you know, God can see
- 6:09that if this is doubt in which like the way he hates it, or if
- 6:14this, this is discouragement in which like God will draw near to
- 6:17you and give you strength well. Yeah, right.
- 6:19Did like Peter was walking on the water right for.
- 6:22Example. Yeah, yeah.
- 6:24And he was, he was walking initially he was walking on
- 6:29water, yeah, heading towards Christ.
- 6:33But then he sunk because I think he starts to look.
- 6:36I mean, he, he just didn't. He could have honestly, in my
- 6:41opinion, he could have just, he could have looked at Christ and
- 6:43still doubt. There's a lot of people do that.
- 6:45Right, right. But.
- 6:47For the purpose of of this, I don't want to, I don't want to
- 6:50go on a tangent. He walks and he sinks and Christ
- 6:54grabs him from the hand. He's like, you know, oh, you of
- 7:00little faith. Why do you doubt?
- 7:05Oh yeah, wait, is is that what he said to Peter?
- 7:08That's what he said to Peter when he was thinking.
- 7:11He reaches out for him and he says, Oh, you of little faith.
- 7:16Why do you he? Only had a little bit of faith.
- 7:18He didn't have a lot of faith, right?
- 7:20A little bit of faith, right? Right.
- 7:21Why do you doubt? Interesting yo so.
- 7:28And also, I mean in Romans, as I say, like who like whoever that
- 7:33has doubt is condemned if they, well, this is talking about
- 7:37eating or not conscious has to do with the conscience.
- 7:39Yeah. But if that's compromised, you
- 7:42have doubt. There's doubt in your foundation
- 7:46in that regard. It that's in that regard.
- 7:48Yeah, yeah. There's many examples, that's
- 7:51what I'm saying. Like, I mean, what, what you
- 7:55thought was good. I mean, I've never thought about
- 7:59it that deeply. Yeah.
- 8:00Yeah. Doubt versus discouragement.
- 8:02Like, I can tell you right now, I guess maybe when you're
- 8:07cornered, you can have doubt because there's no outlet,
- 8:13there's no escape. There's no, you don't know.
- 8:16But can you be discouraged even if you're not cornered?
- 8:24Yeah, that is true. That is.
- 8:25Knowing that there's many multiple options avenues way of
- 8:30figuring things out. Yeah, yeah.
- 8:35Or for example, when when Paul talks in his letters like do not
- 8:38lose heart by by him saying that he's implying do not be
- 8:42discouraged, right? Meaning do not lose heart right.
- 8:46You will be pumbled. You will be perplexed, all of
- 8:48this. All that stuff.
- 8:49That will discourage you, but don't now that just now my
- 8:54question is, does that discouragement, can it lead to
- 8:57doubt or can doubt lead to discouragement?
- 9:00Like, do you see what I mean? Yeah.
- 9:02Yeah, dude. Yeah, it.
- 9:03No, I'm just, I'm just saying because right doubt, essentially
- 9:07right, Why did people start sinking?
- 9:11Because. I mean, he still saw Christ.
- 9:13He still saw Christ, He. Was sinking looking at Christ
- 9:15and by the way, his sinking wasn't like he was sinking
- 9:18slowly. He just, you know, when you fall
- 9:21into water, you just go, you just go down.
- 9:23So was it because he doubted that Christ doesn't exist?
- 9:29I mean, he was in his face. He saw Christ walking on water.
- 9:32Or did he not believe enough? That's why he had little faith.
- 9:38Why do you doubt? Did did he doubt at that moment
- 9:42when he was walking on water? He couldn't believe that that
- 9:45was actually happening, right? Or the doubt came because of the
- 9:50scene that he was in. It was dark.
- 9:55It's night time. I think it was night time maybe.
- 9:57Yeah. Yeah.
- 9:58Storm, waves, rain, right? There's no light.
- 10:04Yeah, that's true. And did.
- 10:05You see Christ. So like, was all that part of it
- 10:09as well? Right, right.
- 10:11You know what I mean? Yeah, no, that's true.
- 10:13So like, yeah, it's interesting the way, the way you're putting
- 10:16it right now, it's almost like, yeah, like doubt and oh man, I
- 10:23just had a brain fog. But doubt and discouragement,
- 10:27it's almost like they're almost like 1 and the same.
- 10:30But yeah, they have like differences.
- 10:32Yes, they can be. Right.
- 10:34It's almost like 1 can lead to another and the other one can
- 10:36lead to a, Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
- 10:37They can be, but also you can experience discouragement
- 10:41without doubt. You can also experience doubt
- 10:43without being discouraged. It's very true, very true.
- 10:46Because doubt essentially alone just means lack of information,
- 10:52not knowing, not being able to be in control that causes doubt.
- 10:58Yeah. But then discouragement alone is
- 11:01more of it's not a logical or tactical thing, it's more of
- 11:07like an emotional thing. Discouragement.
- 11:10Yeah, you're. Right.
- 11:10It's like the sadness. It's almost like that
- 11:13discouragement can can lead to anger, can lead to arrogance,
- 11:18can lead to a lot of things, right?
- 11:21Yes. But that's alone.
- 11:24But what if they can work? What if they can work side by
- 11:29side? Can doubt lead to
- 11:31discouragement? And can discouragement lead to
- 11:32doubt? Yeah, the way you're putting it,
- 11:35everything right now, the way 'cause honestly, I just.
- 11:37I think it was amazing the fact that you thought about that.
- 11:39I never really thought about it. I never even bothered to, to, to
- 11:42put it together or even cross my mind.
- 11:44Now, may I ask you, why did you think that while you were
- 11:46driving here? Oh, no, no, it's because like,
- 11:50man, when you do things for God, well, when God puts you on a
- 11:53task or a mission, right? Yeah, right.
- 11:55And, you know, the world is, you know, the world is the world.
- 11:58You know, they will, will put things in front of you, put
- 12:02things in which like, like, why is this happening?
- 12:06It's almost like, like I believe, I do believe that this
- 12:09is from you, God. And I know this is from you.
- 12:12But it's almost like so discouraging, like how like
- 12:18people are not on the same page. And then we have conflict and
- 12:20this and that stuff like that. Oh, yeah.
- 12:23OK. I'm, I'm trying to like, say,
- 12:24very vaguely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:28But it's like. I've, I've seen it in churches,
- 12:32in congregations, like the leaders get discouraged because
- 12:35perhaps the people, there's moments that Moses was
- 12:38discouraged, yeah, 'cause people just kept behaving that way.
- 12:41Yeah. Not that he doubted God ever,
- 12:44right? Right.
- 12:45But you know what? You're right though.
- 12:46You were totally right about what you know.
- 12:49Christ is my, my, my firm foundation, not the mission that
- 12:54I'm in. That's not my foundation.
- 12:56Crisis is my foundation. So let's just say like, things
- 13:00go like sideways for some reason, because I, you're right,
- 13:05you're right. Because I've seen people when
- 13:07they go to church and they trust the church way too much.
- 13:10They trust the leaders way too much and then something happens.
- 13:14It's almost like they get discouraged and then next thing
- 13:17you know they start doubting and then you just go back to their
- 13:19old ways. But the thing when you said God
- 13:21hates doubt. Uh huh.
- 13:25Yeah, Jesus did not like the fact, for example, like he
- 13:29rebuked them, like after they saw him, Bryce from the dead, He
- 13:34rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal
- 13:37to believe those who had seen him after he had reason and
- 13:40risen. So if he rebuked them, he didn't
- 13:45like it. You know, in those he was
- 13:47correcting them. Yeah, yeah.
- 13:49Obviously you're still doubting or lack of faith after you just.
- 13:52Witnessed, yeah. After you just witnessed.
- 13:54Yeah, that's why I used the story of Moses and the people of
- 13:58Israel when you know, God part of the Seas, he, he freed them
- 14:05and they still doubt it. And then God would just like
- 14:07dismantle them. Like it's almost like God is
- 14:10like what? Yeah, I mean, Peter does say
- 14:12that it is impossible, you know that without faith it is
- 14:15impossible to please him. Yeah, it's true.
- 14:18That's true. So could you say that like when
- 14:20somebody is like discouraged, could you could, Because I know
- 14:24there's a part in the scripture where it says God is near to the
- 14:26broken hearted, but when you read the thing in its context,
- 14:31it's talking about people that genuinely follow God.
- 14:34We'll also think about it too. I mean, if Elijah was
- 14:36discouraged, uh huh. Also, God was not OK with the
- 14:40fact that he was discouraged. Yeah, because OK, here's the
- 14:44thing. But see that's.
- 14:45Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
- 14:47He got discouraged. I believe he got discouraged.
- 14:49There's no way he lacked faith. He did all that.
- 14:51No, no. So, so like there was doubt to a
- 14:54certain extent, but not in like, oh, where is God?
- 14:58So this what happened? So I will say this like he, I
- 15:01believe he got, he got discouraged at the beginning,
- 15:04right? God attended to him.
- 15:07He did in the desert. Yeah, in the desert with an
- 15:09Angel, he brought bread and and water.
- 15:11Was he not attending to his discouragement?
- 15:12Exactly. Exactly.
- 15:13That's true. That's that's valid.
- 15:14He was. He was attending to it in like,
- 15:16in the aspect of like, broken hearted.
- 15:18I guess you can. Right.
- 15:19No, that's. Right, and he's like, get up,
- 15:21the journey is great for you, eat and let's go.
- 15:23Let's keep moving forward. And then he gets up and moves
- 15:26and then I, this is where doubt, I, I think doubt took place when
- 15:30he went to The Cave and just hid there.
- 15:33That's when God comes in. He says what are you doing here,
- 15:36Elijah? And then he just starts like
- 15:38flaming him. Yeah, it starts.
- 15:40It starts. Yeah.
- 15:41He's like God starts correcting him, Correct.
- 15:43Yeah. Yeah, he's like, you think
- 15:44you're the only one. I have 1000 more out there
- 15:47already so. So, but you see, like in his
- 15:50case, yeah, if God calls him out, letting him know you're not
- 15:55the only one, I have 1000 more that haven't bowed down to the
- 15:58to the God of Baal. Yeah, Yeah.
- 16:01That's implying that he thought he was the only one.
- 16:03Right? Right.
- 16:04So there could have been doubt or there could have been a
- 16:07little bit of cockiness from Elijah thinking he was the only
- 16:11one could have could get the mission done.
- 16:13Yeah, I was like, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 16:15If anything after that, he tells me, you know what, you're going
- 16:18to go and you're going to go anoint Alicia.
- 16:20Yes, he will take your place. That's.
- 16:22True, that's true. It's almost like, do you think,
- 16:25do you think that maybe Elijah at that moment, the mission
- 16:30became like his like priority for like a.
- 16:32Second, he idolized it. Probably right?
- 16:35No, no, Yeah, this is, this is wild.
- 16:38I mean, they're like, why are you?
- 16:39I can't believe you're saying hey, listen.
- 16:40It could, I mean. It could have happened.
- 16:43It could have, you know, if he, if he wouldn't have idolized the
- 16:46mission and what he was doing with the like all of that and
- 16:49God was backing him up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 16:51It's not like God didn't love him.
- 16:52He loved him. And you know what?
- 16:53That's what happened to me. You know what?
- 16:54The fact that the fact that you brought that up, that's actually
- 16:56what happened to me. And in a way, I'll tell you,
- 17:01I'll, I'll, I'll describe a little bit like the whole
- 17:05mission he was doing with the fire.
- 17:08Where's your God Bail? You know, laughing at them, like
- 17:11being sarcastic. Yeah, yeah.
- 17:13It got into his head. And then as soon as Jezebel's
- 17:16like, alright, I'm just going to go and come after and kill you
- 17:18now. Yeah, yeah, right.
- 17:20What happened now? What?
- 17:23What happened all of the sudden? All of the sudden, like had he
- 17:27not idolized the mission, would he have been scared at Jezebel?
- 17:33No, he wouldn't have. You're right.
- 17:34I don't think he would have. And I can support that too,
- 17:37because I'm pretty sure at the end, after, you know, God splits
- 17:40open the The Cave and everything and tells him, all right, go.
- 17:43Like, you're not, you know, what are you doing here?
- 17:46Then he just goes on the whole like, rampage of like God
- 17:50backing him up. And you can read the story, but
- 17:53like, it's like God backing him up even more.
- 17:56But like, yeah, yeah. Like going back to what you were
- 18:00saying, like Cook. So, so this then then the
- 18:04question must be asked like, OK, well, he then I, you know, maybe
- 18:08I'm not going to say he idolized it, right?
- 18:11Idolized it in the aspect of like, he made it so much about
- 18:13that. Yeah, Yeah.
- 18:14That the moment Jezebel threatens him.
- 18:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
- 18:18He should have kept his, you know, you know, Yeah, Yeah.
- 18:21Stronghold. God is my stronghold.
- 18:23Doesn't matter. Let's go, you know, like, still
- 18:25with that. So the question is this, now
- 18:28that that's been revealed, what happens as a believer, Believers
- 18:35and disciples, what's better word disciples than anybody can
- 18:38believe? But for the sake of those are
- 18:40understandable. We mean believer.
- 18:41We're also implying that disciple, A believer who's
- 18:44disciple? Yeah, yeah.
- 18:46Could the discouragement and doubt, when that comes, could it
- 18:50be because we are not putting all of those things that God has
- 18:53given us, we're putting that too much importance?
- 18:58Yeah. Rather than trusting, rather
- 19:00than be like no God, God rather than putting God in front of it.
- 19:05Right. No, no.
- 19:06That's what I just kind of just realized in in real time.
- 19:09Yeah, yeah, it's almost like, that's so true.
- 19:12Because OK, So what I was saying with Elijah after God backed him
- 19:15up, it's almost like God like was like he like snapped Elijah
- 19:18out of it and was like, was like, and and basically like
- 19:22Elijah put his eyes on God back again and not on the mission at
- 19:25The Cave, at The Cave. Yeah.
- 19:26And then he went, he went back and he went to go do even more
- 19:29and then got backed him up more. But you know, he kept his eyes
- 19:32on God. So like, it's like, yeah, the
- 19:34problem is here is that when we keep our eyes on the mission.
- 19:38Even on the things that God give you.
- 19:40Yes, that's true. That is true.
- 19:44Because at the end of the day, God gives and God takes, right?
- 19:47Yeah. God prunes, God breaks God, he
- 19:51can do whatever he wants to his things.
- 19:54The thing is like. So when Peter then sinks.
- 20:00Uh huh. Did he make it about himself?
- 20:04That's a question because he did see Christ.
- 20:09He did. And then Christ called him out.
- 20:11You have little faith. Why do you doubt he?
- 20:14Did, yeah. Right.
- 20:15Did he want to see? Did he actually wanted to be
- 20:19Christ and walk to him, or did he want to see if he could do
- 20:22the same as Christ? Right, Yeah, it's almost like,
- 20:29or could it be like, like, am I really doing?
- 20:32Am I really doing this? What Christ is doing?
- 20:34Yeah, it's a lot of variables here, yeah.
- 20:37Yeah, what what I'm what I'm realizing is the sense of
- 20:39discouragement and thou can be because we even with the things
- 20:43that God gives us to do. We put that first way too much.
- 20:47Yeah, when he is at the epicenter of everything that.
- 20:51Is chairman at the. Center of it all.
- 20:53And that's actually a dangerous, dangerous ground to to feel
- 20:57discouraged and doubt in what God has given you, because then
- 21:01you will start to depend on resources rather than God.
- 21:04Yeah, himself. When we we're servants, we
- 21:07worship him, we pray, we read scripture to his service to
- 21:11honor him. Yeah.
- 21:13When we do that, as we're worshiping Him do, do we make so
- 21:18much about ourselves and how we worship Him?
- 21:21Yes. Or do we serve Him and worship
- 21:24Him despite what that means for us?
- 21:27Yeah, right. No, perfectly well said.
- 21:31So yeah, that's a good one. I mean, doubt and
- 21:34discouragement, they can be, seems like they can be 1 can
- 21:37lead to the other, the other can lead to the other.
- 21:39But doubt can also be separate. Discouragement can also be
- 21:43separate. I agree.
- 21:44And so, yeah, interestingly, yes, that's good.
- 21:48That's a, that's a good one. That's a good one.
- 21:50Yeah, no, I was just thinking about it and when I brought it
- 21:54up right now and the and the podcast, honestly, I didn't
- 21:57really know what I was getting myself into or, or what do you
- 22:00mean? Like like I didn't really know
- 22:02like if they were one and the same or if they're different.
- 22:04I was just saying, I think I think like, you know, maybe
- 22:08doubt and discouragement. No, they're they're both,
- 22:12they're both different experiences, right?
- 22:16Yeah, but one is more so doubt alone is like a lack of
- 22:20information. Yeah, lack of knowledge, lack of
- 22:22it is something which causes you then to say, Nah, this can't be
- 22:26it. That's doubt.
- 22:28Discouragement is an emotional thing to the to what you're
- 22:31attached to. It's disappointing you.
- 22:34Yeah, therefore you're discouraged.
- 22:36Exactly. That's perfectly well said,
- 22:39right. So, yeah.
- 22:40So basically, yeah. Now.
- 22:41Now I have a much better understanding.
- 22:43But they can also. One can lead to the others just
- 22:46as much. Just like doubt can lead to
- 22:48discouragement, discouragement can also lead to doubt.
- 22:50Yeah, because, I mean, you see it.
- 22:52I mean, Elijah was a good example.
- 22:54Of that, yeah. Yeah, right.
- 22:57Yeah, but he was a great a great example.
- 23:02Oh yeah, Paul was a great example.
- 23:04Peter, all these people were a great example.
- 23:06Yeah, right. Christ went to pray at the
- 23:10Garden of the Gethsemane and told and told his father, if you
- 23:14can pass this cup over me, Yeah, you know, but let your will be
- 23:20done, not mine. Now was that doubt?
- 23:26No, no way. Because he knew it.
- 23:27He knew. But I've asked that.
- 23:29That means he knows. He knows now.
- 23:31Was that discouragement? Like he felt weak.
- 23:39It wasn't discouragement, nor was it doubts.
- 23:41It wasn't right. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't.
- 23:43He just felt weak. He didn't know what he felt was
- 23:45the weight. All the weight, yeah.
- 23:47Not the weight of that of this mortal body.
- 23:50No, no, no. He was.
- 23:52He was witnessing how heavy. Yeah, the detachment is from
- 24:02eternal life because essentially that's what death is, spiritual
- 24:05death is. We don't have eternal life.
- 24:08We will never understand. We don't even comprehend it
- 24:12because mind you, he had to die for that reason for us to have
- 24:17the forgiveness of of our sins, right?
- 24:20So we didn't witness those who don't believe in Christ are
- 24:28condemned already and when they cross that bridge to the other
- 24:31side, then they will witness what Christ witness at the
- 24:35Garden of Gethsemane. Damn bro, right?
- 24:40Yeah, so now that was that was a good one.
- 24:48So for all those listening who are believers #1 who are being
- 24:54discipled and or just coming to the faith, there will be doubts.
- 25:02Moments of doubts will be moments of discouragement.
- 25:05You will be double minded. All these things will happen,
- 25:09right? But keep your eyes on the
- 25:13Kingdom. Yeah.
- 25:15Because the moment you keep, the moment you take your eyes off of
- 25:18that and you put your eyes on the things that God is giving
- 25:21you, the world is going to disappoint you no matter what.
- 25:26Yeah, yeah. People will disappoint you.
- 25:29Yep, and that is OK too, because that's inevitable.
- 25:34Yeah. So this actually came from a
- 25:39sister in Christ who said this. You know, I believe she was your
- 25:43cousin. She is your cousin, she said.
- 25:46Keep your eyes on the Kingdom. Yeah, that's true.
- 25:52Keep your eyes on the Kingdom of heaven and everything else falls
- 25:55into its place. But the moment you like, put
- 25:58your eyes on the things that fall into their place.
- 26:01Yeah, those things that are supposed to fall into their
- 26:03place and when they do fall into that place and you and then you
- 26:05keep your eyes on that then, then.
- 26:09You will have doubt and discouragement.
- 26:12And or discouragement. Or discouragement, yes.
- 26:15So literally that is the key. So simple, but yeah, like we
- 26:22failed to do it a lot. But just keep your eyes on God.
- 26:25Yeah, that is literally the answer to everything.
- 26:28Absolutely, Absolutely. Yeah, it's as simple as that.
- 26:31Yep. But yeah, well, I think that's
- 26:35it for today part. Thank you guys for listening.
- 26:38And I mean, we'll keep saying this, but in due time, things
- 26:44will be set up where you will have access to whoever wants to
- 26:47donate for the nonprofit. Also, there's some merchandise
- 26:52soon that will be out there like a kind of like, if you will,
- 26:58like a, an apparel. Krishna apparel.
- 27:02Yeah. And the book is done, thank God.
- 27:05Like we've said, it's just an editing.
- 27:08Yep, phases. And so soon that will also come
- 27:10out. And maybe in the first few
- 27:12copies, you can give free copies, right?
- 27:15Correct. And we'll close it out with a
- 27:18prayer. Thank you, Father, that you will
- 27:21be done like it is done in heaven.
- 27:23Let it be done here on earth. You have the absolute control of
- 27:27everything. Our language cripples us for
- 27:32from being able to express ourselves to our to the extent
- 27:36that we would like to. But we know that you are all
- 27:41knowing or above even that, and you wield eternity, you give
- 27:49eternal life. You are the source of life.
- 27:52You are the source, the actual, the, the the definition of
- 27:57truth. And you express that through
- 28:00your Son. And because of your Son we have
- 28:02access to you. Father, thank you for that.
- 28:05And we clarify you, that you have given us a counsellor, your
- 28:09Spirit, whom dwells amongst us and convicts us of of our sin of
- 28:16righteousness and judgement. And that we pray for all of
- 28:21those who are listening and those who will potentially one
- 28:23day listen, that this can be a word in which can encourage them
- 28:28and they can dissipate and destroy any doubts in their way.
- 28:35And let it always be your will. Father, thank you.
- 28:38Amen.
