Transcript
- 0:45Welcome back. All right, welcome back.
- 0:47Thank you for those that have been listening and those are the
- 0:50new welcome and that before we start, we always pray.
- 0:54Because last time we forgot. Yeah, we did.
- 0:56We did. Sorry, God, Lord, thank you for
- 1:01allowing us to be here so that we speak about whatever it is
- 1:06that You want us to speak about. You are the one true, living
- 1:09God, and there's no one greater than You.
- 1:12Amen. Amen.
- 1:14Amen bro. Alright, last time we spoke
- 1:18about aiming aimlessly. Yearning him aimlessly.
- 1:23Oh, yearning aimlessly. Something like that.
- 1:26Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
- 1:31Yeah. No, that's that that really,
- 1:34that really has changed a lot. Like that really has made me see
- 1:37things a little more differently now.
- 1:39Yeah. Yeah, a lot more differently,
- 1:41yo, you know. What's up?
- 1:44Yeah, now go ahead. Where are you gonna?
- 1:45Say social media doesn't help. No, it doesn't help.
- 1:50You think a woman should be looking like this?
- 1:53Uh huh. Like the ideal, it's not the
- 1:55case. Yeah.
- 1:56And the same is true for. And I'm not justifying that
- 1:59because perhaps you shouldn't be healthy.
- 2:02You should be healthy. Yeah, you should not justifying
- 2:05that. Yeah, it's just that, you know,
- 2:07when you see, like, for example, people from our country, like
- 2:10foreign people, like, you know, they're not, they're not like
- 2:14insanely ripped, filled with veins not, but they're insanely
- 2:18healthy. Like they're full of energy.
- 2:21You know, you see them wake up in the morning perfectly fine.
- 2:23So that that's why I say that, you know, we yearn aimlessly
- 2:26because we think this is what we want, but really you don't know
- 2:29what you want. Yeah, that's true.
- 2:31But yeah, that's that's. True it.
- 2:33Was Yeah. I'm sorry, What were you gonna
- 2:34say? No.
- 2:35No, no, I was just saying like, like now it it's really, it
- 2:40really does come down to like meditating and really like
- 2:45seeing discerning the perfect rule of God so that you can ask
- 2:49God to what it is that you were looking for.
- 2:51Of course, according to his will.
- 2:54And I believe that no, it's actually this is the truth.
- 2:58If you are aligned with God and you are in God's will, then what
- 3:02you asked for will be, of course, according to His will,
- 3:05automatically by Lena, because your heart is.
- 3:07Yeah, because when you become alive, right?
- 3:13Yeah, Spiritually, I mean, you surrender, you repent, you
- 3:17become alive, your spirit becomes alive, right?
- 3:19Spark in there as you're walking by the Spirit, right?
- 3:28You then start to realize that your selfish desires start to
- 3:34shift. Yes, and they start to shift to
- 3:36the desires that God have. Yeah.
- 3:39So then of course, common sense, your prayer will be aligned to
- 3:44to the desires of God, not. Yours, right, Right.
- 3:48And then you will be able to pray yes, accordingly,
- 3:51accordingly and appropriately. Yeah, yeah.
- 3:53So exactly. So that's, that's, I mean, if
- 4:04you, if anybody's looking for the secret sauce, if you will,
- 4:08that's it right there. Yeah, no, it's true.
- 4:12Prayer, fasting and reading scripture.
- 4:15I know we've spoken about this a lot, but.
- 4:17Yeah, the threefold. We've we've yeah, we've never
- 4:19gone to the series yet. Yeah.
- 4:21Yeah, we will soon. Yeah.
- 4:23But what you were saying right now, what you ask for, you'll
- 4:28ask because now you think you have the you have your your mind
- 4:35onto the things of this period. Yes, yeah, you have set them on
- 4:38that right. So you will pray according to
- 4:40that. Right, right.
- 4:42Yes, absolutely. So, yeah, so if you're yearning
- 4:46aimlessly, it's because you have, you are setting your mind
- 4:48to the things of the flesh or, and by that I mean, if I'm going
- 4:56to be very literal, by that I mean those dead parts or the
- 5:03that death part of your spirit that was dead is still
- 5:08lingering. Yeah, you're alive now.
- 5:11Exactly. So you have to think I So yes,
- 5:15being alive through Christ. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 5:18So you know what I mean? Absolutely.
- 5:19So if you set the things of the it's, if you set your mind to
- 5:21the things of the flesh, that's what's happening.
- 5:23If you're yearning aimlessly, if you yearn with aim, it will
- 5:30align based on your walk. Yeah.
- 5:34Step by step. Exactly.
- 5:35To the square foot, right? You know I.
- 5:37Was just thinking that so funny because I remember when God
- 5:41revealed to us. Make sure that every word that
- 5:45you utter out of your mouth is the same equivalent like square
- 5:48footage of the way you are walking with God.
- 5:51So every word should match like the way you are walking with
- 5:54God. I mean, yeah, the spirit of the
- 6:00Lord revealed that to me because I was meditating one day.
- 6:02Like whatever you bind here on earth, you bind on heaven,
- 6:05whatever you unbound. So what's that?
- 6:08Whatever you bind here like is is that 24/7?
- 6:13Does that look like just seven days a week for like 8 hours a
- 6:16day right? What does that look like right
- 6:19and you know it was I think it was in a like I was dreaming.
- 6:23Oh no, it was a dream it. Was.
- 6:24Yeah, I remember. It was a dream.
- 6:26I don't know if we've spoken about this in the previous
- 6:28episodes, have we? I think we have.
- 6:31Yeah, but it's just maybe it's just a quick little recap that
- 6:36literally like I it was vivid. Yeah.
- 6:38Yeah. You know, let let your prayer be
- 6:41to me like every square foot stride you make.
- 6:48Yeah. I'm like, anyways, that was
- 6:51besides the point. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:52But that was the episode about last week, about yearning
- 6:56aimlessly. And seems like if you want to
- 7:00yearn with aim then you then should know where do you stand.
- 7:06Yeah, I agree. Your heart parture because your
- 7:11heart is as youthful, right? Yeah.
- 7:14And you need to know where you stand.
- 7:16If those desires that you have, do they align with God?
- 7:19Because God, God know he created us.
- 7:24He did, yeah. He created Adam and Eve.
- 7:27I want you to keep this in mind. We say God said to Jeremiah, I I
- 7:33knew I knew you before you were born.
- 7:35Yes, before you were creating your mother's womb, right?
- 7:38What does it what does that mean?
- 7:39That means that before the designed takes place, and what
- 7:44is that design that he put in place?
- 7:47That of male and female can interact with each other and
- 7:50have a child. That's the design that's
- 7:54predestined, right? You understand?
- 7:57Yes. Yeah.
- 7:58So when he says I knew you before, that's what it means.
- 8:03If he told Jeremiah I knew before you were creating your
- 8:05mother's womb. That is true.
- 8:07Yeah. Right, because if in fact he
- 8:10designed this to be predestined, then he is going to know you
- 8:14before you are made, right? Your mother's woo.
- 8:17Right Now, I'm saying this because we need to understand
- 8:26that a man and a female by nature will have an impulse like
- 8:31an attraction. Yeah, God knows that.
- 8:33Yeah, right. He knows that, but he doesn't
- 8:35necessarily care about that. Right.
- 8:38Yeah. Can you align yourself to that
- 8:41right? Yeah, ask the question.
- 8:42Like can you like deny that part?
- 8:43Can you deny that flesh part? Because you did say something
- 8:49interestingly. Do you love lust?
- 8:53Do you like it? I mean, who doesn't like it?
- 8:55Yeah, no, I you. Have to deny it, yes, right,
- 8:58right. Unfortunately, because of
- 9:01liking, loving that lust, it then inevitably will make you
- 9:05dishonour God. Mm hmm.
- 9:07That's why you hate it, yes. Because of that reason.
- 9:09Right, so that's right. So God knows that you will have
- 9:14an attraction to a woman, A woman too.
- 9:16Mm hmm. He knows that, right?
- 9:18He will consider that. Mm hmm.
- 9:22I mean, yeah, it's part of our nature, right?
- 9:23Does he care? Probably not.
- 9:26No, it's not the all. That's not the all of it, right?
- 9:29So, but he will consider it because he knows you have an
- 9:32attraction. He knows that he would obviously
- 9:34wouldn't want you to be disloyal to her because you're there by
- 9:36force. No, no, no.
- 9:37There has to be an attraction. Yeah.
- 9:38An attraction is just not physical.
- 9:40It's also mental. Emotionally, right?
- 9:41It's much, right? Other things.
- 9:43Yeah, 'cause you're not, you're not marrying that girl for her
- 9:46flesh. No, you're not.
- 9:47You're marrying her because of her intelligence.
- 9:49Yeah. What she's going to bring to the
- 9:51table, Spiritual, emotional, all that, all those.
- 9:55Yeah, but the physical part God doesn't, right?
- 10:00It's not something where it's like, yeah, the Olivet, yeah,
- 10:02it's a. Skin it's an organ like yeah,
- 10:04what do you mean? You know you're attracted to
- 10:06Oregon. Yeah, but that's what I'm trying
- 10:08to say. He considers it.
- 10:10But what he, what he wants you to align yourself is someone who
- 10:16fears him, who fears the Lord fears him right, who honors him,
- 10:21who's willing to attend to his will to be a servant with you
- 10:27and him, Yes, where he is at the epicenter between you and and
- 10:30that person. Hey man, I agree.
- 10:32So if you're yearning and you don't understand that, then
- 10:34you'd like you're yearning aimlessly like the last episode.
- 10:37Exactly, Exactly. I agree, Totally agree.
- 10:40Because like I said it, we like we said in the last episode,
- 10:42like it's common sense, obviously, like for a believer,
- 10:46yeah, I want to grow that loves God, all this stuff.
- 10:49It's common sense. Yeah.
- 10:51But then the attributes, what things does she like?
- 10:54Look what you were saying. Like what does she bring?
- 10:56Will she be with you throughout this walk?
- 10:58Will she understand the journey that God will put you through?
- 11:02You know, will she see that you know you, you love God more than
- 11:04her. All these things because you
- 11:08know every anyone can say I love God by their lips.
- 11:11But when it comes to displaying it, then it's a whole different
- 11:14story. Yeah, yeah, of course.
- 11:15You know, I mean, they are examples in Scripture of women
- 11:20who support their their men, but there's also examples of women
- 11:25who not really the greatest. Yeah, per SE.
- 11:29I agree, yeah. Ideal, right?
- 11:31Yeah, almost disrespectful. But let's take the good ones,
- 11:36for example, right? Yeah.
- 11:38Take take the the the good examples that are there, that
- 11:42the women are there. You know, yeah, like I'd say
- 11:47like Abraham's wife, even though she was like.
- 11:51That's that's pretty bad. I mean, she did stick with him.
- 11:56No. You know, like throughout the, I
- 11:59mean, she did, she did think it was ridiculous.
- 12:01I got it would make her pregnant and all, but she still stuck
- 12:04with him, I guess through the journey.
- 12:09Who's a good one? Abigail.
- 12:13Oh, Abigail. Yeah, Abigail, who attended to
- 12:18King David. Deborah was a great woman.
- 12:23Esther. Yeah.
- 12:25You know what I mean? Yeah.
- 12:27Joseph's wife, who was Egyptian, but he didn't do it alone,
- 12:31Right. Right.
- 12:31She was there. And if in fact, Joseph married
- 12:34an Egyptian, she ended up believing.
- 12:36She must have had ended up believing in in Joseph because
- 12:39how is Joseph going to display conviction his throughout his
- 12:42young years and then all of a sudden a woman?
- 12:44Yeah. Who's serving Beacon Gods,
- 12:48right? He's gonna marry, right?
- 12:49Right. She must have.
- 12:50Had some sort. Of have recognized this is the
- 12:54God of Joseph, this is the real God and so you have that right.
- 13:01You have Jacob's wives, They were there supportive, although
- 13:07both of them had rivalry. But that's what happens when you
- 13:11have two wives, right? But they were both there
- 13:14supporting, right, Right. Right.
- 13:16So it was Isaac's wife, right? Although she was a little bit
- 13:22discouraged to whom would take the next inheritance if it was
- 13:25Esau or Jacob. But that's neither or there.
- 13:28But you could see there's good examples around.
- 13:31Yeah. And you can also see not great
- 13:33ones, Yeah. Like like a bad one would be
- 13:37like Job's wife. He she literally.
- 13:40Gave up, unfortunately. You would think he'd be with
- 13:43like a woman who's like, beside him to the end, no?
- 13:47She was like just cursed God already.
- 13:50And then he was like, you speak like a foolish woman.
- 13:53Yeah, he kept his entirety. Yeah, he kept pushing.
- 13:56Forward. So you need to know, OK, what
- 14:02that looks like, whoever is listening, would that be a woman
- 14:08vice versa or a man vice versa, where you stand and how you pray
- 14:15accordingly? And is it aligned to to to what
- 14:19God wants? Yes exactly 100% no it's true
- 14:23because once you marry that person it's your one flesh with
- 14:26her or or a girl to to a guy. Any thoughts?
- 14:30No no, I just I guess spend time meditating and discerning and
- 14:40don't just don't aim aimlessly like we said on the other
- 14:42episode. Pretty much.
- 14:44Yeah, and meditating. What would you say?
- 14:47Meditating. And just now, what would you
- 14:50say? Meditating and discerning.
- 14:52Yeah, meditate and discern, right?
- 14:55That might mean you might have to be alone in your room.
- 14:59Meditate. Think.
- 15:00Yeah, challenge yourself within your mind.
- 15:03Yeah, like what Paul says, examines yourself.
- 15:05You can. If he says examine yourself,
- 15:07it's because you can. Yes, inside your mind you can
- 15:10examine yourself. See where you stand.
- 15:12Be honest with yourself. Yeah, challenge yourself.
- 15:14Yeah, ask yourself hard. Questions.
- 15:15You know what I mean? Yeah, and, and look, I know I
- 15:20get lost as a part of the body. And yeah, we do love it.
- 15:24It's not like we don't. But we, like you said, we hate.
- 15:27We hate it because it dishonors God and examine yourselves.
- 15:32So you do not like, let the thoughts of, you know, like of
- 15:36the flesh creep in. And also when God presents that
- 15:39one girl to you or a girl to a guy, like you don't get confused
- 15:44with lust and and love or Oh yeah, you know what I mean?
- 15:49You don't get confused with that aspect.
- 15:51Yeah, cuz it's, it's there's like stages to it.
- 15:54If you don't know how to discern, I will tell you right
- 15:57now, Lust will feel like love. It will, yeah.
- 16:00It will feel like love. It will, but it's not.
- 16:03Exactly, exactly, 100%. And remember, it doesn't have to
- 16:06be something sexual. It can mean like like maybe the
- 16:10girl's so beautiful, so pretty that you just like, you just
- 16:13kind of like have this like attraction towards her where it
- 16:16feels like love and you're still keeping that pure mindset in
- 16:20your mind. But you never know, it could be.
- 16:23It could be like your flesh trying to creep in.
- 16:26You got to discern. Ruby No, Yeah, you have to,
- 16:28because then you start playing chess with yourself.
- 16:30Exactly like what Solomon did. You start playing, you start
- 16:33playing chess. Exactly.
- 16:34And then next thing you know, you end up thinking in the flesh
- 16:38at the end of the day. So there's layers to it.
- 16:41There's common sense lust where it's like, you can be like,
- 16:45yeah, I'm just lusting hardcore. And then there's this other part
- 16:48where it's like deceiving cunning.
- 16:50So you got to be careful. You got to really examine
- 16:52yourself in that aspect. Yeah.
- 16:54Like, is this woman really the one that will stick with me
- 16:57through thick and thin? It's not just because she's
- 16:59beautiful, but her attributes, what she brings, her spiritual
- 17:02life, all this stuff. So you got to discern those,
- 17:04those, those things too. You got to go deeper, deeper
- 17:07than what they just teach you at, you know, Sunday church or
- 17:11go to your room and and meditate.
- 17:13Exactly. Challenge yourself.
- 17:14Be, be still and present. That doesn't necessarily mean to
- 17:19sit and cross your arms and wait.
- 17:21Yeah, that's just you. You just call it what it is.
- 17:25You're you're you're being alone with God and meditating.
- 17:28Yes, but being still in present also means be present.
- 17:34Like go about your day. Don't worry about tomorrow,
- 17:38right? Right.
- 17:39Don't worry about 2-3 hours later, five hours later.
- 17:42Just do what you're doing. Yes, exactly we do.
- 17:46You know, we can say, well, I have plans for dinner at five.
- 17:48Yeah, you have those plans. Let it arrive if you get there,
- 17:52You get there if you don't, right, Something like that.
- 17:56So being president still meaning like continue walking side by
- 18:01side, like step by step by the Holy Spirit.
- 18:05Yeah, I agree. That's being still in present.
- 18:07Don't react to a certain emotion or to a certain feeling because
- 18:13of this or because of that, right?
- 18:15Right. Because I understand that the
- 18:19modern times that we're in, you know, there's a certain criteria
- 18:25that social media tells you or the world culture you need to
- 18:28meet. And because of the diverse
- 18:31divorce rate going up could imply, you know, that there
- 18:35could be a a, a both roles, both men and women role are not
- 18:42playing it appropriately how it should.
- 18:45Yeah. So it causes that or you lose
- 18:48attraction because you perhaps you don't care how you look.
- 18:52You gotta be healthy. Be healthy doesn't necessarily
- 18:56mean for the guy to look like chiseled.
- 18:59No, be fit in the aspect of like healthy.
- 19:02Yeah, and it's common sense. If you work out any healthy,
- 19:05it's common sense. You're going to lose weight.
- 19:07That's just common sense. Yeah.
- 19:08Don't let it get it in your head.
- 19:10Same true for the woman. So there is, there is.
- 19:13Unfortunately, it isn't unfortunate that in our culture
- 19:17you have to look a certain way. And that can be exhausting for
- 19:22some people. Yeah.
- 19:24You're always thinking like, Oh my God, yeah, I gotta look this
- 19:27like it's exhausting. Yeah, I would.
- 19:29I would imagine so. Be healthy.
- 19:33Keep in mind that if you work out or you eat healthy, you're
- 19:37gonna lose weight. Yeah, it's confident.
- 19:38Don't let it get in your head and don't be looking at yourself
- 19:40in the mirror all the time. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:42Confidence or no confidence, that's just a social construct.
- 19:45Your trust is in God. Period.
- 19:46Yeah, that's it. And you know you wanna.
- 19:48Those are those are unfortunate effects of the culture we live
- 19:51in right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 19:53And, you know, it makes so much sense why the divorce rates are
- 19:56so high as you know what, you know what I think starts to
- 19:59happen, man. It keeps increasing by the way.
- 20:01No, it does. Yeah.
- 20:02Like, you know what I think starts to happen that let's just
- 20:06say the the wife, she keeps her fatigue and all that stuff and,
- 20:11and. She's you mean fatigue?
- 20:13Like, like her appearance or physique?
- 20:15Physique. Sorry, it's all great.
- 20:17Yeah, sorry, my English. Her, her appearance, like she
- 20:21keeps her appearance so much. And then you know she attracts a
- 20:25man, right? That man for years will be
- 20:29conditioned to like look at the physical.
- 20:34Next thing you know, you know beauty is temporary.
- 20:37She gets wrinkly, she gets old. What's going to start to happen
- 20:40since the guy for years has been conditioned to that beautiful
- 20:43model beautiful chick, she will that guy if he's not with God,
- 20:48he will start looking elsewhere and vice versa with with with
- 20:53the guy to the girl. If you condition you know your
- 20:56wife just to be just like at the physical aspect of it,
- 21:00eventually beauty and all that stuff fades away.
- 21:02So what starts to happen? They will look somewhere else.
- 21:06Don't know that's that's what's happening.
- 21:07It it it the the divorce rates are going high because of money.
- 21:16It's always a problem. Yeah, roles.
- 21:20Yeah. The roles get mixed up because
- 21:23of the culture we live in. Yeah.
- 21:24You know, women in our country are very independent.
- 21:27Yeah. Yeah.
- 21:28And that's a good thing. Yeah.
- 21:29That's the times we live in. But if you're going to marry
- 21:36someone to take care of, you depend on him.
- 21:39You don't have to be independent anymore.
- 21:42Depend on the guy, Right? Because if you in fact marry a
- 21:45man of God. Oh yeah, he will.
- 21:47He's kind of, he knows his duty. Yeah, he knows his duty.
- 21:49He knows exactly what he needs to do.
- 21:50Whether if he's rich or not, it doesn't matter.
- 21:52He knows his duty. Yeah, period.
- 21:53Exactly. Right.
- 21:55Exactly. But that, that's, that's one of
- 21:57the, you know, appearance money roles.
- 21:59Mm, hmm. It's really, yeah, the issue
- 22:02here and social media, the technology, the access to, to
- 22:05have your own account and be sneaky with it if you wanted to.
- 22:09Yeah, those things, those things, we don't live ancient
- 22:12times anymore. Nah.
- 22:14We live where we're exposed to media constantly.
- 22:18People know about stuff quickly. Gossip is at a much faster rate
- 22:23than it was ever before. Things are completely different.
- 22:26How to navigate is is the issue. You have to look for a woman who
- 22:31really yearns to. YEAH, to serve God and honor
- 22:34him. Not because she knows that saves
- 22:36her or not because she's just. That's what a new creator, new
- 22:39creation looks like. Yeah, they honor God exactly.
- 22:42Obedience, it's at the forefront of it.
- 22:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. So you're right, the guy gets
- 22:52conditioned and vice versa, the girl gets conditioned.
- 22:54Yeah, to assert you, that could be appearance, money, anything.
- 22:58They get conditioned to that and then next thing you know, when
- 23:01that falls apart, the relationship falls apart.
- 23:04Exactly. How can a relationship that's
- 23:07centered in God that will never fall apart?
- 23:10No, never, because no one can take away God from you.
- 23:13If you remain, abide in God, God will abide in you.
- 23:16Then that's key to every relationship.
- 23:19Of course, we live in a world where we have to work.
- 23:23Yes, yeah. And Speaking of money is not a
- 23:27bad thing because that is the thing we need to buy stuff.
- 23:31Yeah. You know what I mean?
- 23:32Yeah, yeah. That's, you know, we don't
- 23:35trade. We don't have merchants like we
- 23:37were before in the past, which would have been very cool.
- 23:40Yeah, it would have been. Really cool.
- 23:41In other countries they still practice that, you know, very,
- 23:45very rarely. Yeah.
- 23:46Yeah. But we live in a modern culture
- 23:48and it's everywhere around the world.
- 23:49It's not the US, It's in the Europe.
- 23:51It's in. It's everywhere.
- 23:53Maybe in some countries, like in the East or in Africa, some
- 23:57areas in Central America, you can still see this, this, this,
- 24:01this, the the natural function, if you will.
- 24:04Yeah, not the modern function. But yeah, like it's just, it's
- 24:10weird. I mean, there's entrepreneurs
- 24:12out there, women, right? There's a girl called Cody
- 24:14Sanchez, and she's super entrepreneurial.
- 24:17She's really successful. But she said in an interview
- 24:20that that just because of that, she still lets her man be the
- 24:24man. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 24:25Yeah, and I respect. I was like weird.
- 24:27No, that, yeah, that's a lot of respect.
- 24:29So that's what's happening with the divorce rate.
- 24:35Now imagine in a, in a, in the context of a, of a Christian
- 24:40couple, how would that look like that the divorce rates are also
- 24:43going up in the, in the, in the, in the Christian yeah community,
- 24:53you know? Yeah, no, I mean, it's sad to
- 24:56say that a lot of young, young Christians, they get confused,
- 25:01you know, they start feeling this passion and they're like,
- 25:02Oh no, this is God's will. Is it or is it your emotion?
- 25:06There's a thing called long-suffering, and a lot of
- 25:08young Christians forget that that's a thing.
- 25:10But it's like, I feel bad, you know?
- 25:12I feel bad. Yeah, I know that's that is a
- 25:14fruit of the Spirit. Yeah, yeah.
- 25:16What if God wants you to long suffer for?
- 25:18That's OK unless we always receive good all the time.
- 25:21Like why can't we also endure bad things too?
- 25:23Like when when we have to suffer?
- 25:25Yeah, that's. True.
- 25:26You know what I mean? So like, that's what I think is
- 25:29happening too. The reason why a lot of
- 25:31Christians get divorced or maybe they're just not Christians.
- 25:34They say they are and then they just at the end of the day,
- 25:37their hearts are definitely not aligned with God or they take
- 25:41up. That's crazy.
- 25:42That blows my. Mind.
- 25:43Yeah, yeah. Or, you know, it's a lot of
- 25:45aspects. Yeah.
- 25:46So, I mean, those are a lot of things to consider.
- 25:50You only know that it's, it's just what what Brian said in the
- 25:53beginning. If you are lying, yeah, with God
- 25:58you will know exactly. Yes.
- 26:00What to say? 100 percent, 100%.
- 26:04While simultaneously ignoring those parts of your flesh.
- 26:07Yes, that you like. Yes, because you do.
- 26:09You do like them. Don't.
- 26:10Don't lie to yourself. Yeah.
- 26:12You know what I mean? So.
- 26:16That's how you can appropriately ask God what what you want,
- 26:19because you're not your your mind is set on the things of the
- 26:22Spirit. Absolutely.
- 26:24You know what I mean? Absolutely.
- 26:25So understand that if you wanna have an aim of what you're
- 26:31yearning, where's your mind set up upon the things of the Spirit
- 26:39were the things of the flesh. Exactly.
- 26:42Amen. Yeah.
- 26:43And I think that's should wrap it up for for, for all those who
- 26:47are yearning to get married. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
- 26:53man. Yeah.
- 26:53I mean, yeah, I think it also super important, man.
- 26:58Don't forget your role, men out there, don't forget your role.
- 27:02Don't just act it. Don't just say live it, live it
- 27:05out. Yeah.
- 27:07Don't just pretend to be a man. It's not that hard.
- 27:10It's really not. It should come like you.
- 27:11Want to know something? This is weird, the culture we
- 27:13live in, but it's not hard for a woman to be a woman.
- 27:16It's not hard for a man to be a man.
- 27:18It's really not. It's in our nature, right?
- 27:20No, Yeah, yeah, like masculinity comes natural to a man.
- 27:26Yeah, like, yeah, feminism comes natural to a woman.
- 27:28But what type of feminism? We're not talking about the
- 27:30feminism where you you start to take the the, the male traits of
- 27:35of trying to act like a man and conquer like a man and they'll
- 27:39dis like a man. Yeah, you're right.
- 27:41Trying to have the ambition of a man.
- 27:42No, no, definitely. No, you and it's this why I say
- 27:47it's not hard. It's because it's simple.
- 27:48It's actually quite simple, right?
- 27:51It's actually quite simple. Yeah, Yeah, right.
- 27:53But if you lean towards, if the dude, the male leans towards, he
- 27:58speaks because he likes to hear how it sounds, what it is to be
- 28:02a man, but doesn't like act necessarily like it.
- 28:06It's because it's he's still taking those traits of a of a
- 28:11female, unfortunately. It's true.
- 28:14No, it's true. It's true.
- 28:15It's true. Yeah, man, it's true.
- 28:20You can only enjoy those female traits when you have a wife.
- 28:25Yeah, right. But yeah, man.
- 28:27So I'm not trying to be and vice versa, a woman, you know, like,
- 28:30it's easy. Yeah.
- 28:32That you want to deny that part because society and culture and
- 28:35all this tells you so, then that's on you.
- 28:38That's on you. But if you.
- 28:39Were really to be in tune with your actual designed, forget it,
- 28:45you'd be happy. Yeah, you'd be.
- 28:47You would literally feel in. You would feel like you're in
- 28:49place. You'd feel some sense of
- 28:51contentment. Yes, if you will.
- 28:53Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you, you know what you
- 28:55are. Yeah.
- 28:56So same thing for a man. Same thing for a man too.
- 28:59Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- 29:00But we live in tricky times. We have a hard time
- 29:06understanding and where the world is going.
- 29:09And I understand too. I'm 35.
- 29:12I'm like a decade older than you, but I understand too.
- 29:14Like, yeah, the economy is not great.
- 29:20But I can also say too that we, we do live one of the greatest
- 29:25countries where it's almost. You have to actually put effort
- 29:29to be poor. Yeah.
- 29:30Like you actually have to put effort to actually be poor.
- 29:33Yeah. So what I what do I mean by
- 29:34that? Like, there's no excuse in
- 29:36regards to do something, whatever that means to being a
- 29:41man and whatever that means in regards to being a woman.
- 29:44Right, right. It makes sense for a woman to
- 29:47have an interest to look for a guy who will take care of her.
- 29:50There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, She has every right to
- 29:52think that way. Yeah.
- 29:53And a guy has every right to look for a woman who will be
- 29:56there and take care of his things because he works hard for
- 29:59them. Right.
- 30:01Yes, yeah. I don't like that one because
- 30:03she just wants my money. There's some truth to it, yeah.
- 30:08Do you want security? She wants to be fed.
- 30:10She wants to be okay. Yeah, there's nothing wrong.
- 30:12With there's nothing wrong with. That there's nothing wrong with
- 30:14that. You know what I mean?
- 30:15Yeah. When I hear guys complaining
- 30:17about that. I was like, there is some truth
- 30:20to it. You want a girl to want to
- 30:22depend on you. Because you're the leader,
- 30:25right? Because and if she depends on
- 30:26you and and you start to falter, she will be the one to pick you
- 30:29up. Like, you can do this.
- 30:31Yes. And yes.
- 30:32Maybe because of her own interest.
- 30:34That's fine, too. That's fine.
- 30:35She wants to survive. Yeah.
- 30:36Yeah. But she will also help.
- 30:38She will. She'll push you.
- 30:40Yes. Hey, listen, that's how it is.
- 30:43I don't understand. I don't.
- 30:44See anything wrong with that? That's the thing.
- 30:46You know. Some guys see there's like a lot
- 30:48of things wrong with that, but yeah, you know, I, I guess, but.
- 30:51That's just an example. Right.
- 30:52Yeah. And guys should look for a women
- 30:56who's going to take care of things, Who's going to push
- 30:58them? Yeah, who's going to want to see
- 31:02that version of him better and better, ever, ever so slightly.
- 31:05Right, right. She's not going to be a baggage
- 31:07or or a burden to you. She's going to feel like this is
- 31:10my helper. Yeah, exactly.
- 31:12Exactly. Yeah.
- 31:13And then imagine how you translate that as a Christian
- 31:18couple and God being at the center of it all.
- 31:21You'd be a powerhouse. Yeah, exactly.
- 31:23A strong family. Because of the Lord, Because
- 31:25He's the foundation. Yes, yes.
- 31:27A strong family is when God is the center of it all.
- 31:31A weak family is when God is not in the center of it all.
- 31:34It's just common sense. It's that easy.
- 31:37Yeah. Yeah.
- 31:38But can you live? It is a question.
- 31:41All right, guys, that's what we got for today.
- 31:43And stay tuned for other updates that will be coming up.
- 31:49We're trying our best here. Stay tuned for the next one.
- 31:53We'll close it with a prayer. Thank you, Father, for this
- 31:57opportunity to speak about perhaps uncomfortable
- 32:00conversations perhaps others don't want to have.
- 32:04But we depend on you. We set our mind on the things of
- 32:11your Spirit. O Lord, that you guide us.
- 32:13You give us a strength. We depend on you.
- 32:15We need you and all that we do, we do it for you.
- 32:21We do it to glorify you, O Lord. And then, then all those who are
- 32:25listening, may those hear this message and then they can share
- 32:28with others. That'd be one or two or three
- 32:30people. That's fine.
- 32:32As long as people share this, this conversation that could
- 32:36help them or others. I know that it will be of of
- 32:42fruitful information for for them.
- 32:45And these are, if you will, gifts that you've given us, that
- 32:49we, we are sharing, you know, and gifts in the aspect of, of,
- 32:53of what you reveal to us, information, goodies, I guess
- 32:58you can say that others can enjoy and also share because one
- 33:02thing we are for sure for is you are our number one priority.
- 33:06You should be at the epicenter of everything.
- 33:09You are first and everything. And so help us all the time to
- 33:13to walk each stride of that square foot, be binding in
- 33:21heaven rather than unbinding and meet the Holy Spirit guide us
- 33:27every day. We follow Him step by step.
- 33:30And thank you, Lord. Amen to the next one, guys.
