  Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida. This
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord, Father that art in heaven,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through these
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: mics and be able to go through the listeners' ears
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and be able to reach their hearts and minds and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: be able to apply these verses to their lives. In
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen. And we're
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: going to be in 1 Peter chapter 3 if you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: would like to get your Bibles out or get on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: your Bible app and read along as you hear along.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Highlight some verses that might stand out to you. That's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the true meaning of this episode and a lot of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the episodes will consist of also preaching, teaching, a little
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: bit of testimonial experience, strength, and hope as well. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I just want to also just Give glory to God
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: right now. So we're in 1 Peter chapter 3. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it is titled. Peter's advice to wives and husbands. Verse 1.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I need to speak to you wives. You should have
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: respect the authority of your own husband. Even if your
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: husband does not believe God's message about Jesus Christ. You
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: should still respect him. If you do that. He will
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: then turn to God and believe his message. You will
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: not need to tell him what is true. He will
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: see the good way that you live. He will see
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that you obey God and that you do things that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: are completely good. See, when I met my significant other,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I was already following Christ, but it was the, it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It was the very beginning of following Christ, full-heartedly surrendered.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And being a believer for 20 years and not truly
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: following Christ consistently, I paid the price. And hitting my
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: rock bottom, I have a testimony though and a message, amen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And I say that because these verses here are going
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to stand out to you as much as they do
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to me because I'm a listener as well. So, 1
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Peter 3, verse 3 states, Think about what makes you beautiful.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The way that you prepare your hair does not really
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: make you beautiful. Gold things or beautiful clothes do not
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: make you beautiful. Do not only think about your body,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but think about what you are really like inside yourself.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Be patient and do not become angry easily. then you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: will always continue to be beautiful. If you are beautiful
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in your spirit, God likes that very much. So it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: something to have self-care on the outwear. But what about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the inwear? Where do we go, right? Because this is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. We're trying to break down
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: these verses to apply them to our lives. Not only
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in this particular verse, Section is for females. Because males
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: do it too. With the shoes. And the haircuts. The beard.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: The way they have expensive clothes. Watches. Jewelry. We all
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of energy. Money. Time. On things that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: are on the outer. When we should be spending more
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: time on the inner. And loving ourselves from within. And.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Verse 5 states, That was how holy women made themselves beautiful.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Many years ago, they trusted God that He would help them.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They respected the authority of their husbands. Sarah was a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: woman like that. She obeyed her husband, Abraham. She called him,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: My Master. So you wives also should do what is right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Do not let anything make you afraid. Then you will
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be like true daughters of Sarah. Now, this also can
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: go towards men as well by treating their wives like
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a queen, the master, right? It is such... Like, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all have been programmed to thinking like the masters, we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have to obey everything. And it's more of the borderlines
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of respect than to obey everything because not everything that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a husband... Especially if it's an abusive husband. An abusive
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: husband towards verbally or physically or spiritually or mentally. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I've witnessed that with my own father. My earthly father.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: My heavenly father is doing some things right now and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful. So, verse 7 states, Your husbands must
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: also respect, like I stated, your wives. Be kind to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: your wife and help her. Remember that she is not
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: as strong as you are. Because God is very kind,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: she has received his gift of true life, as you have.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So you should respect her. Then God will answer you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: when you pray to him. This is very deep. Because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: there's something about a praying mother or a praying grandmother
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that is just separated and categorized differently. And there's plenty
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of people that can definitely... Testimony to that. But what
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I really want to talk about is. How we respect.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And honor our women. And be able to. Show. Show God. That.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We are. The best. Versions of ourselves for our companions.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Or our friendships. Or our colleagues. Now being as if.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: We're going to dive deeper though. Christians may suffer even
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: when they do what is right. Whether you do what's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: right or do what's wrong, there's going to be suffering.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Let me get deeper into it. Now I want to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: say this to you before I finish my letter. All
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of you should agree with each other in what you think.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You should try to understand how other people are feeling.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be kind to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: each other. Do not think that you are more important
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: than other people. If people do bad things to you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: do not do anything bad to them in return. If
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: people insult you, do not insult them in return. Instead,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: pray that God will bless those people. That is what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: God wants you to do. Then you will receive the great,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the gift of God's blessing. The Bible says this. Do
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you want to enjoy your life? Do you want to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be happy? Then you must be careful not to say
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: evil things. Do not tell any lies. And before we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: get into verse 11, the power of the tongue and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the ability to be able to break down or bring
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: somebody up is the root of how we can be
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: able to Have better friendships and better companionships. And I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: want to make it clear that it's stop doing evil things. Instead,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: do things that are good. Try to be friends with people.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Help people to live in peace with each other. Remember
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that the Lord God sees what everyone does. He takes
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: care of people who do what is right. When they pray,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: he listens to them. But the Lord God turns against
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: people who do evil things. So you can't continue to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: keep doing the same things that are not glorifying God.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And there's so many different things that we do on
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a daily basis that a simple praise can glorify God
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and we don't do it. We just think that we
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: just are entitled to things. And that's not everybody. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: just know that we're all guilty of one or two things.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Different occasions, right? Or plenty of occasions where we have
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fallen short of God's standards and we have done something
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that is of this world's sinful evil and enjoyed it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to condemn you. That's not my job.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: We're going to get into... First, let me see something
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: real quick. Now... So when we're talking about worrying next,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it's if you always try to do good things, then
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: nobody should hurt you. But you may suffer even when
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you do what is right. If that happens, God will
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: bless you. So do not be afraid of what people
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: may do to you. Do not worry about it. Instead,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: always remember that Christ is your Lord. Let him rule
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: how you live. And verse 15 continues to state... and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: we'll close out here. People may ask you, why do
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you trust God to help you? You must always be
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: ready to answer them about that. But when you tell them,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be kind and polite. Do only what you know is right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Then those people will see that you live in a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: good way because you believe in Christ. It's not recommended
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to share your faith in such an ignorant way. There
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is no constructive criticism criticizing another person that has fallen short.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And we all fall short of God's standards. Just because
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you have that relationship with Jesus Christ and you have
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: put in the work doesn't necessarily make you any better
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: than the person that is sick and suffering still and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: sin and does not have that relationship because we are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: all just one mistake away from completely being disconnected from
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: God himself through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I say those holy I say the Holy Trinity because
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it is a necessity to know the truth about the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Gospels of Jesus Christ It didn't all come together in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament, but it did in the New, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we have a new covenant. Amen. And I want to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: see where we're at in time. It looks like 12 minutes. Okay. So, 333,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: angel number. So, when we're overlooking, you know, Peter's advice
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to wives and husbands, we all know about to respect
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the authority of the husband and wives. We know that,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: but we also got to respect our women, gentlemen. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: when we get into it deeper, we know that Christians
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: may suffer even when they do what is right. We
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: know that when we do things the right way, that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: God's going to bless us in return no matter what
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: outcome we may receive from others or the outside noise.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And when we get into it deeper with the, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Christians may suffer, I mean... We're all suffering some way,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: some form. I'd rather suffer for a better purpose than
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to suffer for a world where all this is going
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to eventually be gone, including us. So I fixate myself,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and I highly encourage you to fixate yourself on the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: unseen that is after this. Because the more and more
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that I continue to strive to follow christ the more
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and more my old skin is shedding off i'm no
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: one that is perfect by any means but i serve
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a perfect king and that separates me from the world
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: so i know that i will be looked upon even
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: by my loved ones and and other people that are
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: close to me that they're not going to understand the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: anointing and why and the work put in and that's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: okay that's that's the beauty of Having faith that it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is seen doesn't mean that it is obscene and it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: not respected. And I don't need anybody's approval or respect.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I got one minute less than two minutes. And I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just want to thank you, the listener, for pressing play.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: This was 1 Peter 3. We got to about maybe
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: verse 17. And check out the other episodes as well.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I got more in store as well. So we will
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: just continue to keep going off of this momentum and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: understand that Jesus loves you and he wants to have
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that relationship with you and allow his spirit to live
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: within you. And the consciousness is something else separate that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: we need to talk to people about that are beginning
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to their journey and having that consciousness you have to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: put it on each and every day to be like
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Christ and how do you do that is starting your
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: day off in prayer and being obviously God is very
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: aware of our life and he wants us to balance
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: things out so it's balancing out time with God time
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: with yourself time with others and once you can be
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: able to master that balance it opens up other doors
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: so it's almost like a cheat code so With that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: being said, let's continue with 1 Peter chapter 4 next.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play.
