Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Longwood, Florida. This is
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost, let's
- 0:06Speaker 1: jump into prayer. Lord, Father that art in heaven, I
- 0:09Speaker 1: come to you in prayer to be able to have
- 0:11Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this mic
- 0:14Speaker 1: and go through the listeners' ears and be able to
- 0:16Speaker 1: reach their hearts and minds and be able to apply
- 0:18Speaker 1: these verses to their lives. In the Lord Jesus Christ's
- 0:20Speaker 1: name I pray. Amen. Amen. So I'm going to give
- 0:24Speaker 1: you a little moment to get your Bibles or get
- 0:26Speaker 1: on your Bible app and read along as you hear along.
- 0:28Speaker 1: We're going to be in Proverbs chapter 16, verse 3,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and then we'll carry on into the other verses after
- 0:34Speaker 1: the verse of the day. So I'll give you a
- 0:38Speaker 1: moment to do so. I want to be able to
- 0:43Speaker 1: do this before I celebrate recovery and allow the spirit
- 0:46Speaker 1: to really take hold of my whole being. So being
- 0:51Speaker 1: able to jump right in, Proverbs chapter 16, verse 3 states,
- 0:56Speaker 1: put your plans in front of the Lord so that
- 0:59Speaker 1: what you want to do will go well. We all
- 1:03Speaker 1: have dreams and goals and ambitions. And if not put
- 1:08Speaker 1: in the right circumstances or situations, we might not be
- 1:13Speaker 1: able to obtain what God really wants us to do.
- 1:18Speaker 1: So having it be that Proverbs is a very good gospel.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And it being... We're talking about plans, right? We make
- 1:33Speaker 1: these plans. And God laughs. I know you probably heard
- 1:38Speaker 1: that saying. If you haven't, it's because He laughs because
- 1:44Speaker 1: we don't include Him. It's not that our plans and
- 1:48Speaker 1: our goals... Are not necessarily in line with God. It's
- 1:54Speaker 1: just not glorifying him. Because he's not getting any of
- 1:57Speaker 1: the praise for it. You have all these abilities. You
- 2:01Speaker 1: have this brain. You have this heart. You have all
- 2:04Speaker 1: these things that he has given you. And yet we
- 2:08Speaker 1: love to take the credit for it. Or just in general.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Think that it is just. We're privileged to have it.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I speak we as a whole because we're the body
- 2:23Speaker 1: of Christ. Whether you're one day believing or a hundred years,
- 2:35Speaker 1: it's not necessarily something that is measurable. As we get
- 2:46Speaker 1: into it a little bit more, though, let's read the
- 2:48Speaker 1: full chapter. Let's see, let's see. Got a little distractions
- 2:53Speaker 1: in the background. That's okay. They're doing their job. Just
- 2:56Speaker 1: bear with me if you hear them. So the Lord
- 3:01Speaker 1: causes everything to have its proper result. Even wicked people
- 3:05Speaker 1: will come to bad trouble in the end. See, for
- 3:10Speaker 1: a moment, you'll see a lot of people that are
- 3:13Speaker 1: doing bad get ahead. And it seems like they have
- 3:17Speaker 1: everything that you want and everything that you need. But
- 3:21Speaker 1: a lot of them are not only falling short to
- 3:25Speaker 1: glorifying God, they're on borrowed time. And even though it
- 3:30Speaker 1: may look like they're ahead in the material, in the spiritual,
- 3:35Speaker 1: they're dying slowly. Having these spirits be able to roam
- 3:41Speaker 1: you And not be able to connect with the Holy Spirit.
- 3:45Speaker 1: I've done it. So I know. And that's why I
- 3:49Speaker 1: love to let the Spirit. Just take realm of the
- 3:52Speaker 1: whole episode. Majority of the time. So if you love
- 3:55Speaker 1: the Lord faithfully. He will forgive your sins. If you
- 3:59Speaker 1: respect and obey him. You will not do evil. Things.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And that's Proverbs chapter 16. Verse 6. Faithfully. How many
- 4:10Speaker 1: of us are really faithfully. faithful to anything. Consistency is
- 4:17Speaker 1: a great word to add to that. And a lot
- 4:22Speaker 1: of us need to understand that whether believer or not
- 4:26Speaker 1: or follower or not, just because somebody is for you
- 4:30Speaker 1: one day doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to be
- 4:33Speaker 1: for you for the remainder of your journey. And that's
- 4:38Speaker 1: hard to accept when you're a loyal person. But it
- 4:42Speaker 1: says faithfully, if you love the Lord faithfully, he will
- 4:48Speaker 1: forgive your sins. Now that doesn't mean you just keep
- 4:51Speaker 1: on sinning and you keep on repenting. Being able to
- 5:00Speaker 1: be where I'm at today, kind of taking my charge
- 5:05Speaker 1: on the episode, I've overcome a lot of sin. And
- 5:13Speaker 1: having gone back to it doesn't mean I don't think
- 5:15Speaker 1: about it. And that's okay to be tempted. The temptation
- 5:22Speaker 1: falling into it. Feeling the guilt and the remorse of
- 5:27Speaker 1: that temporary high, that temporary fix anyways. And ruining everything.
- 5:33Speaker 1: And making everybody think that they can't react is... On
- 5:40Speaker 1: a whole other topic. But we're going to let the
- 5:41Speaker 1: Holy Spirit take over. Amen. So if you do what
- 5:45Speaker 1: is right. But you are not rich. That is better
- 5:48Speaker 1: than to be rich. Because you cheat people. People make
- 5:51Speaker 1: plans for what they will do. But it is the
- 5:54Speaker 1: Lord who leads them in the right way. A king
- 5:57Speaker 1: speaks with God's authority. He must judge people in a
- 6:01Speaker 1: fair way. A fair way. How many of us are really...
- 6:11Speaker 1: committing to a fair way. We're always looking for a shortcut.
- 6:16Speaker 1: We all got chat GPT on a lot of our projects. Now,
- 6:21Speaker 1: that's not everybody. That's not everybody, but the truth of
- 6:31Speaker 1: the matter is when we're talking about the spirit and
- 6:38Speaker 1: what the plans are That are in place. Already. Once
- 6:47Speaker 1: you align with the Holy Spirit. It starts to be
- 6:49Speaker 1: revealed to you. And you start to. Get back on
- 6:52Speaker 1: that dream. And you start getting back on. Actually putting in.
- 6:58Speaker 1: To the dream. Not just fantasizing about it. Putting the
- 7:02Speaker 1: work in. And no matter what. People will come and
- 7:06Speaker 1: people will go. But there you are. Left on your own.
- 7:12Speaker 1: In the physical, you're going to be alone. You came
- 7:14Speaker 1: into this world alone. But you were surrounded by people, right?
- 7:19Speaker 1: There comes a time where a man or a woman is,
- 7:22Speaker 1: there's more solitude than there is around people. And you
- 7:26Speaker 1: have to be comfortable in the spirit. Being able to
- 7:32Speaker 1: be okay with it not being okay. Knowing that he's
- 7:37Speaker 1: going to make a way. Amen? And I say this
- 7:39Speaker 1: because I've been through it. I'm nowhere near as perfect...
- 7:44Speaker 1: But I try to be the best version of myself...
- 7:47Speaker 1: As I have seven more minutes... I kind of just
- 7:49Speaker 1: want to... Let the spirit just... Really talk to somebody
- 7:55Speaker 1: in particular... Even if it's one person... Ten people... This
- 8:02Speaker 1: might resonate with you... It might not... But if anybody's
- 8:08Speaker 1: ever experienced... Heartbreak... And want to know how to fix
- 8:17Speaker 1: that heartbreak. The drugs and alcohol aren't going to do it.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Pills aren't going to do it. The Holy Spirit is
- 8:26Speaker 1: the only thing that can do it. Now, the Holy
- 8:32Speaker 1: Spirit can't always take away cancer. Take away different things.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Different diseases. But what it can take care of. Is
- 8:41Speaker 1: what belongs to the Lord. Your heart. your mind. It's
- 8:48Speaker 1: up to us if we want to give our bodies
- 8:50Speaker 1: as a living sacrifice because in the Bible it states
- 8:55Speaker 1: that there were many that were prosecuted and did not
- 8:58Speaker 1: care because they knew that they would be not only
- 9:03Speaker 1: just in heaven but because Christ's rise so would they
- 9:08Speaker 1: and that speaks real strong faith That you would go through...
- 9:14Speaker 1: Not just only a fire... But you would go through... Prosecution...
- 9:21Speaker 1: For the Lord... Knowing that there's better after this life...
- 9:34Speaker 1: The best is yet to come because... When we begun...
- 9:43Speaker 1: We didn't know what we know now. And I really
- 9:48Speaker 1: believe in allowing the spirit to speak and be able
- 9:53Speaker 1: to speak prosperity. I'm not talking financially. I'm talking about
- 9:58Speaker 1: also physically. Being able to understand that. Our words have power.
- 10:09Speaker 1: If we say that we're old. Then we're going to
- 10:12Speaker 1: think old. We're going to feel old. If we say
- 10:15Speaker 1: that we are fat. Then more than likely. We're talking
- 10:20Speaker 1: down to ourselves and we're going to remain fat. I
- 10:23Speaker 1: can keep going down the scenario list, but I think
- 10:25Speaker 1: you get my drift. I've tried to speak positivity over
- 10:33Speaker 1: a particular person so much and it didn't do nothing.
- 10:39Speaker 1: So it really comes down to what people want to
- 10:41Speaker 1: choose to accept about themselves, whether it is positive or negative. Regardless,
- 10:50Speaker 1: you cannot love somebody if you do not love yourself
- 10:53Speaker 1: or if you do not have this source of love
- 10:55Speaker 1: through God, through Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It's just
- 10:58Speaker 1: not possible. It's lust. All it is is sex-driven. That
- 11:04Speaker 1: eventually fades. Physical attraction eventually fades. Behavior, personality stays. Consistency, loyalty.
- 11:17Speaker 1: But we don't want to talk about those subjects. In
- 11:19Speaker 1: a society where everything is just so at our fingertips.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Men and women. Distractions. It takes a lot. And two
- 11:34Speaker 1: strong people to be able to withstand and maintain a
- 11:39Speaker 1: healthy relationship in this world we live in today. And
- 11:44Speaker 1: if you do not have God in the mix, you're
- 11:46Speaker 1: really in trouble. Because even if it does break up
- 11:49Speaker 1: and God's in the middle, then you both can be healed.
- 11:53Speaker 1: You both can still be divinely protected, divine intervention. And
- 11:57Speaker 1: God's going to make a way. And I'm grateful for
- 12:00Speaker 1: that for me and my ex, even though we do
- 12:02Speaker 1: not like each other whatsoever. For whatever reasons, I still
- 12:08Speaker 1: want nothing but the best for her. Spiritually, mentally, physically,
- 12:12Speaker 1: all aspects of her. It's not my responsibility for her happiness.
- 12:18Speaker 1: It's nobody's but hers. So until she can obtain that.
- 12:22Speaker 1: She will never be able to maintain that. So it's.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Something I pray for that. I know she's my person.
- 12:31Speaker 1: It just may not be the right time. And when
- 12:34Speaker 1: the time does come. And I really do get to
- 12:37Speaker 1: meet her. I know I will cry. And if we
- 12:40Speaker 1: don't meet that's okay. We will meet in heaven. So.
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it. And I'm just
- 12:48Speaker 1: very grateful that I be. Where I'm doing this podcast
- 12:52Speaker 1: is also where I prayed. If we were not. Going
- 12:57Speaker 1: to be able to. Make the relationship work. Regardless I
- 13:02Speaker 1: was doing God's will. Up to when I met her.
- 13:06Speaker 1: And I will continue to do it after her. So that's.
- 13:11Speaker 1: The main point is no matter what happens, God's will
- 13:14Speaker 1: is the most important. And I have less than two minutes.
- 13:18Speaker 1: No matter what God has for you, God has for you.
- 13:23Speaker 1: You can delay. You can be distracted enough. You can
- 13:28Speaker 1: be delayed. You can be distracted enough. But eventually what
- 13:32Speaker 1: God has for you, it's going to catch up to you.
- 13:35Speaker 1: It's not going to chase you. It's going to catch
- 13:37Speaker 1: up to you. And just don't give up. Life's going
- 13:42Speaker 1: to get better as long as you know that you're
- 13:46Speaker 1: not alone in the weather. And I hope and pray,
- 13:50Speaker 1: Lord Father, that arts in heaven, I hope and pray
- 13:52Speaker 1: that anybody that's listening to this ending of the episode
- 13:59Speaker 1: verse of the day, that they be able to feel
- 14:02Speaker 1: your grace and to feel your love and to feel
- 14:04Speaker 1: your presence and to be able to understand that they
- 14:07Speaker 1: are divinely protected, divinely intervened. I hope and pray. That
- 14:11Speaker 1: they be able to see your way and be able
- 14:13Speaker 1: to follow it. In the Lord Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So I want to also go ahead and just thank
- 14:21Speaker 1: you again the listener for pressing play. This is the
- 14:23Speaker 1: Ember Show. Your host Ember. It is time to go
- 14:26Speaker 1: praise the Lord. And be able to get in to
- 14:29Speaker 1: celebrate recovery. And be able to maybe hear a testimony.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Or a principle. Or a step. And be able to
- 14:36Speaker 1: apply it to my life. In the Lord Jesus Christ name.
- 14:40Speaker 1: We praise. We give thanks. And we continue to keep
- 14:45Speaker 1: them on our minds and our hearts and our souls.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play.
