Speaker 2: they like us a little bit? I think that's a

Speaker 2: think they I think it's just a beautiful testament of
2:32
Speaker 2: when you get out of the way and just be obedient,
2:35
Speaker 2: you don't know why or who God is calling you to,
2:40

3:01
Speaker 2: just to hear that you know, this is all God

3:06
Speaker 2: and that his word is going forth in Jesus name,
3:09
Speaker 2: you know. I straight away from trying to be hyper
3:13
Speaker 2: spiritual is what people would call it, Like I didn't
3:16
Speaker 2: want this to be a place where the only thing
3:19
Speaker 2: is what we was talking about scripture and all that stuff.
3:23
Speaker 2: But shout out to Brianca Hardy, who is our covering

3:44
Speaker 2: but I thank God for her because she she looked
3:48
Speaker 2: at me and she said, Jessica, I know you don't
3:51
Speaker 2: like this word, and I'm not even gonna shay his
3:53
Speaker 2: word with y'all, so we're just gonna say this word.
3:56
Speaker 2: But I know you don't like this word, but know
3:59
Speaker 2: that this is what you're doing, and you have to
4:02
Speaker 2: treat this as God treated the church like. You really
4:07
Speaker 2: have to treat this podcast as something not just to
4:12
Speaker 2: be like, oh, we're doing media, and you know, I
4:14
Speaker 2: thought I was doing that, but I think there was
4:16
Speaker 2: another mantle that was released when she gave me that word.
4:20
Speaker 2: She was like, and not only you does a ray
4:23
Speaker 2: is responsible to There's a responsibility, a requirement rather that
4:28
Speaker 2: is placed on you when you decide to give God
4:31
Speaker 2: your full years. Right, because we've been take go through
4:35
Speaker 2: the take go through the like we didn't experience some things,
4:39
Speaker 2: and so I'm excited about today because my question to
4:45
Speaker 2: the audience, our family members today is can God trust you?
4:50
Speaker 2: Can God trust you? And how that came about was
4:55
Speaker 2: we're going through this process that y'all about to find
4:58
Speaker 2: out about next week. I think y'all think you're gonna
5:01
Speaker 2: find it out about next week. And as we're going
5:06
Speaker 2: through this process, the Lord started giving me language. I
5:09
Speaker 2: started doing research regarding what's going on with just as
5:12
Speaker 2: the podcast. How do we move forward? How do we
5:14
Speaker 2: continue moving this movement like and not being stagnant and
5:21
Speaker 2: doing what God wants us to do? And so one
5:24
Speaker 2: thing he one thing I was, you know, researching but
5:27
Speaker 2: also talking to George shout out to chat GBT. I
5:30
Speaker 2: know some people feel some type of way about that,
5:32
Speaker 2: but listen, I use it. Listen too, And so just
5:37
Speaker 2: doing some dissecting of just as I was trying to
5:45
Speaker 2: figure out the language for the audience, right, I was like,
5:48
Speaker 2: I think I'm missing something here. And one of the
5:53
Speaker 2: things that it suggested was that the audience were people
5:57
Speaker 2: interested in God trusting them and that I've been praying
6:03
Speaker 2: that prayer since I since I released that, and it
6:10
Speaker 2: just shook me because I was like, Lord, how do
6:15
Speaker 2: we go from It's one thing to trust you, but
6:19
Speaker 2: it's another thing to be trusted by God. You think
6:23
Speaker 2: about David, you think about Abraham, you think about Noah.
6:28
Speaker 2: They had big callings on their lives and they were
6:32
Speaker 2: trusted by God. And there's ways that you know that
6:36
Speaker 2: you're trusted by God. When I sent you that desirade,
6:39
Speaker 2: What the can God trust me? What was the first
6:44
Speaker 2: thing that came to mind when when you heard that.
6:47
Speaker 2: I think kind of like you said, with the responsibility
6:51
Speaker 2: of a thing, right, we may not know. It may
6:54
Speaker 2: not be a podcast. It may be a family. It
6:57
Speaker 2: may be a husband. It maybe a wife, it may
6:58
Speaker 2: be children, it may be a job promotion, whatever, a car,
7:01
Speaker 2: a house, whatever that thing is. It's if God has
7:04
Speaker 2: given it to you, there does come a level of
7:07
Speaker 2: responsibility to steward it. Well, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
7:10
Speaker 2: And a lot of times the process of the thing
7:14
Speaker 2: is He's watching to see how you steward this before
7:18
Speaker 2: he brings you further things that he has, like like
7:21
Speaker 2: God has give good gifts for us, right, he has
7:23
Speaker 2: assignments and things like that. But he has to be
7:26
Speaker 2: able to trust that we're going to steward because when
7:28
Speaker 2: you when it comes to you know, we think of
7:30
Speaker 2: a podcast, right, It's most people just like, oh, it's
7:33
Speaker 2: just a podcast. No, when you think about the people
7:36
Speaker 2: that are listening, you know what I'm saying, Like, you're
7:39
Speaker 2: responsible for the things that you release from this podcast, correct, Right,
7:43
Speaker 2: So if you're releasing negativity, w whether you're releasing positivity,
7:48
Speaker 2: whether it's the word, whatever it is. You're responsible for
7:51
Speaker 2: the things that you release, and He's trusting you with
7:54
Speaker 2: the people that are listening. And so I thought about that,
7:57
Speaker 2: and I automatically it was just like Wow, Lord, Like
8:00
Speaker 2: I'm grateful that you trust us enough to be here,
8:05
Speaker 2: Like we started in one place, but to be here,
8:08
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I was like, Oh,
8:09
Speaker 2: it's gonna be good. So it's it's really gonna be good.
8:12
Speaker 2: And I think that's that has to be a part
8:14
Speaker 2: of our monch or like it's easy to trust God.
8:18
Speaker 2: Like when you start trusting God, that's gonna be very
8:22
Speaker 2: be very specific. Right, it's even when you start learn
8:26
Speaker 2: to trust God, it becomes it become But can God
8:31
Speaker 2: can you can We go from the point of just saying, God,
8:34
Speaker 2: you know what, I trust you, let's do this, But
8:36
Speaker 2: then you get what you trust it from God and
8:40
Speaker 2: God can't trust you with what he's giving you, right
8:42
Speaker 2: that Like God can't trust you with the transfer. God
8:45
Speaker 2: can't trust you because you mismanage what is given. And
8:49
Speaker 2: then some of us I'm gonna step on toes a
8:51
Speaker 2: little bit. Some of us wonder why it's not it
8:53
Speaker 2: hasn't been released yet. It's not because you don't trust God.
8:57
Speaker 2: It's because God can. He trust you with who you
9:00
Speaker 2: are right now, with the thing that he's holding for you,
9:05
Speaker 2: and it's not like he's giving it away. It's the
9:08
Speaker 2: fact that I have not presented myself. Just think about it.
9:13
Speaker 2: We do it with people. I have not presented myself
9:16
Speaker 2: in the standard of which I can obtain the thing
9:21
Speaker 2: that I desire or I feel like God wants me
9:23
Speaker 2: to have. And when we get out of the woe
9:27
Speaker 2: is Me context, we understand that, Okay, this is a if,
9:33
Speaker 2: it's relationship with God. If we're doing relationship, not a transaction,
9:39
Speaker 2: Thank you, Holy Spirit. There's a difference between doing relationship
9:43
Speaker 2: with God and being transactional with God. Transaction is God,
9:47
Speaker 2: I trust you. Relationship is God, you trust me. That's
9:53
Speaker 2: what real relationship with God is. Seeing the heart of God.
9:57
Speaker 2: When you see the heart of God and the God's
10:00
Speaker 2: heart and what he's seeing or what he's experiencing, what
10:04
Speaker 2: his thoughts are about things, you start navigating differently, you
10:08
Speaker 2: manage people differently because you there's a standard. The standard
10:13
Speaker 2: is set the standard keeps increasing because you keep getting
10:16
Speaker 2: to know, Oh my God, Like the standards gets higher
10:21
Speaker 2: because you you're knowing, like expands. And so I think
10:26
Speaker 2: that when you said God, God has given us something,
10:31
Speaker 2: there's a difference between that as well. When God has
10:34
Speaker 2: given us something, and that means He's trusted us with it.
10:38
Speaker 2: But sometimes we get stuff that God hasn't given. Sometimes
10:44
Speaker 2: we're like, Okay, I don't I'm gonna steward this, and
10:47
Speaker 2: we say God gave it to it, and that's a lie.
10:51
Speaker 2: That is a lie. That is a lie. And I
10:54
Speaker 2: and thank you all the spirit you're making this make sense.
10:56
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to our scripture today. But you look
10:58
Speaker 2: like you was going to say some Oh the assignment
11:05
Speaker 2: that God gives us versus the assignments that we give ourselves,
11:11
Speaker 2: there's a difference. And so you're saying, God, but you
11:15
Speaker 2: gave me no, no, no, no no no no no no,
11:18
Speaker 2: because there is a level. The reason why I know
11:21
Speaker 2: that there's a difference because there is a difference between
11:26
Speaker 2: the suffering. One of the big ways we know how
11:31
Speaker 2: God can trust us is through our suffering. Okay, that's
11:36
Speaker 2: what we get into the scripture. Today. Okay, we're getting
11:38
Speaker 2: to the scripture today. We're in first Peter four and five,
11:43
Speaker 2: and we're gonna walk this thing out just a little bit. Okay,
11:45
Speaker 2: shout alad, you're with me, all right. So I'm gonna read.
11:49
Speaker 2: I'm gonna first read the first Peter four and I'm
11:55
Speaker 2: gonna read the first six verses. Okay, I'm going to
12:00
Speaker 2: read the first six verses. It says, therefore, since in
12:05
Speaker 2: Christian stander version, Therefore, since Christ suffer in the flesh, hallelujah,
12:10
Speaker 2: arm yourselves also with the same understanding, because the one
12:15
Speaker 2: who suffers in the flesh is finished with sin in
12:20
Speaker 2: order to live the remaining time in the flesh no
12:24
Speaker 2: longer for human desires, but for God's will. The verse
12:29
Speaker 2: three says, there has already been enough time spent in
12:33
Speaker 2: doing what the gentiles chose to do, carrying on in
12:39
Speaker 2: unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
12:48
Speaker 2: They are surprised that you don't join them in the
12:52
Speaker 2: same flood of when wild living, and they slander you.
12:57
Speaker 2: They will give an account to the one who stands
13:01
Speaker 2: ready to judge the living and the dead. Verse six
13:04
Speaker 2: says for this reason, the gospel was also preached to
13:09
Speaker 2: those who are now dead, so that although they might
13:13
Speaker 2: be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they
13:17
Speaker 2: might live in the spirit according to God's standards. Okay,
13:21
Speaker 2: so we're gonna break this down. It's more to read,
13:23
Speaker 2: but we're gonna break this down. So it's one. Peter
13:27
Speaker 2: four starts with how God, how Christ suffered right, and
13:32
Speaker 2: it says that because one but because the one who
13:39
Speaker 2: suffers in the flesh is finished with sin. This goes
13:44
Speaker 2: back to the to the idea of people saying all
13:47
Speaker 2: have sin and fallen short. Okay, so at what point
13:50
Speaker 2: the sin become a choice? At what point? How do
13:54
Speaker 2: we rid of sin? We suffer and how do we suffer?
13:58
Speaker 2: We suffer in our flesh because suffering in our flesh,
14:02
Speaker 2: Thank you, Holy Spirit. I hear you. Suffering in our
14:04
Speaker 2: flesh allows our spirit man to grow and God, thank
14:09
Speaker 2: you Holy Spirit. God could never trust flesh. God can
14:13
Speaker 2: only trust spirit. Why because God is spirit, God with spirit,
14:19
Speaker 2: He was made in flesh through the spirit, his spirit
14:23
Speaker 2: was heightened right, and so we want God to trust
14:27
Speaker 2: us while we're still managing our flesh over our spirit
14:31
Speaker 2: while we're still choosing our flesh versus our spirit. And
14:36
Speaker 2: so the first thing is you have to identify, is
14:40
Speaker 2: am I willing to give up my flesh to be
14:42
Speaker 2: trusted by God. That's what the suffering comes from. Because
14:46
Speaker 2: what you naturally know, thank you, Holy Spirit, what you
14:49
Speaker 2: naturally understand, what you naturally go towards, what you naturally
14:53
Speaker 2: abide in, has to be broken up with. You have
14:56
Speaker 2: to divorce your flesh and means I've signed the papers,
15:01
Speaker 2: I've coming over. I don't want to do this with
15:03
Speaker 2: my flesh anymore. I'm just gonna use the flesh as
15:06
Speaker 2: a tool, right, thank you, Holy Spirit. Jesus used flesh
15:10
Speaker 2: as a tool, all spirit, all man. It was a tool.
15:15
Speaker 2: We talk about using podcasts as a tool. We use
15:18
Speaker 2: the flesh as a tool to get what God wants
15:21
Speaker 2: to get done in this earth. And when we start us,
15:24
Speaker 2: when we start looking at our flesh as a tool
15:27
Speaker 2: versus A versus A, the standard right versus Oh, well,
15:33
Speaker 2: you know what I was made like this? No, no, no, no,
15:35
Speaker 2: no no. When you are a but true believer in Christ,
15:38
Speaker 2: I'm not talking to anybody else outside of the people
15:40
Speaker 2: that say they believe in God to believe in Jehovah Jira,
15:43
Speaker 2: they believe in Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, this
15:45
Speaker 2: is not for you. I'm making myself clear because I
15:49
Speaker 2: don't want I don't want to be in an I
15:50
Speaker 2: don't want to be in an argument nobody. I don't
15:52
Speaker 2: argue about Jesus. I defend the faith, but I'm not
15:55
Speaker 2: gonna argue. The Bible say, don't argue with for I'm
15:58
Speaker 2: not gonna argue, like that's why I'm not to do okay,
16:01
Speaker 2: And so it literally says because the one who suffers
16:03
Speaker 2: in the flesh is finished with sins in order to
16:07
Speaker 2: live the remaining time in the flesh right no longer
16:11
Speaker 2: for uh, no longer for human desires, but for God's will.
16:17
Speaker 2: And so who are you living for? Can God trust? You?
16:22
Speaker 2: Ask yourself? Who am I living for? Does what I
16:27
Speaker 2: what come on my mouth match up with what I'm walking,
16:30
Speaker 2: how I'm talking? Do I think about God in every circumstance?
16:34
Speaker 2: Do I consider how God would treat this person? What
16:38
Speaker 2: I do I consider? Thank You, Holy Spirit, I wouldn't
16:40
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even gonna say this. I just shared this
16:42
Speaker 2: with desirat this morning. That was a young lady. I
16:44
Speaker 2: was getting gas and there was a young lady that
16:46
Speaker 2: was in front of me and and she got basically
16:53
Speaker 2: she paid for a gallon of gas, and I hurt
16:55
Speaker 2: her and the Lord it was like before I could
16:58
Speaker 2: do any before I thought about it, I was like,
17:00
Speaker 2: hold up, what do you mean? What do you mean
17:04
Speaker 2: you only getting a gallon of gas? And she was like,
17:06
Speaker 2: that's all that on my card. So we worked things
17:08
Speaker 2: out to where I gave her enough. I don't know
17:10
Speaker 2: how much gas it is, but I just I said,
17:12
Speaker 2: I just gave her enough money to get more than
17:14
Speaker 2: just a gallon of gas, right, And the guy at
17:19
Speaker 2: the counter, he was like, oh, you're so sweet. I
17:20
Speaker 2: said to God be the glory, and it wasn't. I
17:22
Speaker 2: didn't feel like I was saying that from a space
17:24
Speaker 2: of of like a cliche. I really felt. I was like, no,
17:29
Speaker 2: God is good. That's why I told him. I said
17:30
Speaker 2: God is good. I say, God be good. I said
17:32
Speaker 2: God is good. And because I need you to understand
17:35
Speaker 2: that God wanted her because I could have went to
17:37
Speaker 2: the that's not even my normal gas station to stop it.
17:41
Speaker 2: So I knew then I was like, oh, I stopped
17:43
Speaker 2: for her. You get know what I'm saying. When you
17:44
Speaker 2: walk with God and God can trust you. Do you
17:47
Speaker 2: not think I needed that money? Do you not think
17:49
Speaker 2: that I didn't even think about it. I don't care
17:52
Speaker 2: because my money is not mine anyways. You if you really,
17:56
Speaker 2: if you really live his life, you will realize that
17:59
Speaker 2: all this extra stuff, all this external stuff, does not matter.
18:03
Speaker 2: And when you get to that point, you wonder why
18:06
Speaker 2: God can trust us with BG TV Studios and doing
18:09
Speaker 2: relationship with them. God can trust us to move and
18:11
Speaker 2: navigate because he says we follow him thus far, we
18:15
Speaker 2: follow him through the wilderness season? Thank you, Holy spirits?
18:18
Speaker 2: Have you suffered? That? That was a test of the
18:22
Speaker 2: Israelite suffering? I feel my help coming? Does a rap
18:25
Speaker 2: come on? Preacher? That was the test of the wilderness
18:29
Speaker 2: was the test of the level of suffering that they
18:34
Speaker 2: were willing to go through. If they were just suffered
18:36
Speaker 2: for a little while. It says, if you suffer for
18:39
Speaker 2: a little while, we're gonna get to that scripture. It's
18:43
Speaker 2: just a little while. Yeah, And so we us navigating
18:46
Speaker 2: a suffering season or the things that we have to
18:49
Speaker 2: suffer is important and it lets God know the how
18:53
Speaker 2: we go through that is the God. God can trust
18:57
Speaker 2: me with this. It's so interesting because when I was
19:00
Speaker 2: driving driving to your house this morning, I I don't
19:04
Speaker 2: even know how I got on this. I was having
19:06
Speaker 2: a conversation in my head, but I was talking to
19:07
Speaker 2: Jesus in sense and the the phrase came up, God
19:11
Speaker 2: on my heart, right, that came up, And I was like,
19:16
Speaker 2: people say that because they really don't want to suffer,
19:21
Speaker 2: right God? So God, No, my heart is a is
19:25
Speaker 2: a deflection of yeah, I know I should be doing
19:28
Speaker 2: this thing, but he know, he know my heart. So
19:31
Speaker 2: I'm choosing not to do it. And I'm and I'm
19:33
Speaker 2: and I'm and I'm trying to loan from the grace.
19:37
Speaker 2: I'm trying to I'm trying to pull from the grace
19:39
Speaker 2: even though he says, my grace is sufficient, and I
19:41
Speaker 2: think that's what we're getting missiles conscrewed. Yes, he's given
19:45
Speaker 2: us grace, but he's given us grace because he know
19:47
Speaker 2: the flesh, yeah, right, and he knows that as we
19:50
Speaker 2: are trying to walk this thing out, the flesh gonna
19:52
Speaker 2: be fleshing. Right, So he says, hey, my grace is
19:54
Speaker 2: sufficient to cover this. As I know that you are
19:56
Speaker 2: becoming as I know as as I know that you
19:59
Speaker 2: are your heart. Yes, I do know your heart, right,
20:02
Speaker 2: I do know your heart, and I know your heart
20:03
Speaker 2: is to serve me. But this thing right here ASA
20:05
Speaker 2: got a grip on you. So my grace right now,
20:07
Speaker 2: it's gonna cover you right versus all ahead the Lord?
20:10
Speaker 2: No my heart, Yeah, no, I do know your heart.
20:11
Speaker 2: I know you want to do this thing, but you
20:13
Speaker 2: don't really love me for real, Like you really don't
20:15
Speaker 2: want to. You really don't want to walk this thing out.
20:17
Speaker 2: You just want to say I'm a Christian because it
20:19
Speaker 2: sounds good to say I'm a Christian. But you're still choosing, yeah,
20:22
Speaker 2: to live the worldly way. And so I was like,
20:24
Speaker 2: that is so interesting. So when I read this, when
20:27
Speaker 2: you sent me to this to this morning, I guess
20:28
Speaker 2: maybe that's why the Holy Spirit had me having this
20:30
Speaker 2: conversation on my mind, because that's what came up as
20:32
Speaker 2: you're talking. It's like we don't want to suffer because
20:35
Speaker 2: we know, like if you really a believer for real,
20:38
Speaker 2: like if you really believe the scriptures, and that's the
20:41
Speaker 2: thing that I that I that I question a lot.
20:44
Speaker 2: It's like we sometimes really don't believe what this word says.
20:48
Speaker 2: This is so good. This is what dropped in my
20:50
Speaker 2: spirit when when I was after I had read that,
20:58
Speaker 2: I heard the Holy Spirit say, suffering isn't a request,
21:02
Speaker 2: it's a requirement. It's not I'm not requesting you to suffer.
21:08
Speaker 2: It's a requirement to suffer. And the gag is is
21:15
Speaker 2: that at some point you will suffer at God's hand
21:20
Speaker 2: or your hand. But the beautiful thing about suffering at
21:23
Speaker 2: God's hand right, and not to say and let me
21:27
Speaker 2: because y'all theologians get on my nerves. People are want
21:30
Speaker 2: to be there. That ain't what the word. Listen, what
21:33
Speaker 2: I'm saying when I say that is if I'm suffering
21:37
Speaker 2: while I'm with God, that mean God's have to cover
21:40
Speaker 2: me in the suffering. Job when he went through his suffering,
21:45
Speaker 2: there was only so much that the devil could request
21:48
Speaker 2: of God to do with him because God trusted job,
21:51
Speaker 2: job did watch this. We don't like suffering. No one
21:55
Speaker 2: likes to suffer. But to go through the suffering that
21:58
Speaker 2: God trusts you with and he says, no, he can
22:01
Speaker 2: handle this type, this level of suffering means that God
22:05
Speaker 2: has to pay you back for that suffering. God has
22:08
Speaker 2: to cover you through that suffering. And it's only when
22:11
Speaker 2: we come out of the hand of God, out of
22:14
Speaker 2: the covering of God, that we experience we say, oh
22:17
Speaker 2: we experience suffering no more. But now your soul suffers.
22:20
Speaker 2: Now your spirit suffers because what hurts the flesh, you
22:25
Speaker 2: can't manage it because you're not realizing, you're not making
22:29
Speaker 2: the connect that God is trying to do something in
22:31
Speaker 2: my spirit. When you're broke for a while, or you
22:35
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. That's why some of y'all need
22:37
Speaker 2: to learn how to fast. Sometimes you're gonna miss a meal, okay,
22:43
Speaker 2: likes and it's not I think people get it conflicted,
22:49
Speaker 2: misconstrued because we have the language of grace, and we
22:56
Speaker 2: pimp out grace so much that we try to avoid
23:00
Speaker 2: everything that does not feel good to us. But that's
23:04
Speaker 2: the that's the that's the mandate for us to make
23:07
Speaker 2: sure that we understand not only God, not only the Bible,
23:12
Speaker 2: but God's heart. And the only way, y'all trust me
23:15
Speaker 2: when I say this, the only way to learn God's
23:19
Speaker 2: heart is to learn God for yourself, to pray to
23:24
Speaker 2: communicate God. What would you want to do in this situation?
23:27
Speaker 2: How would you want to move. It goes back to
23:30
Speaker 2: an example that we always talk about bg TV. I
23:32
Speaker 2: didn't want to be in nobody else network. I was
23:35
Speaker 2: adamant about that, like so much. I was like, may
23:39
Speaker 2: when I tell you pride the pride what I said,
23:43
Speaker 2: I will not lie. I said no until I walked
23:46
Speaker 2: into God's favor. Until I saw and I didn't even
23:49
Speaker 2: care about this. I was like, oh, okay, this is nice.
23:51
Speaker 2: But Lord, you're gifting, You're trusting us to be a
23:55
Speaker 2: part of this, that this, this faith is unmatched. You
23:58
Speaker 2: think we ready to manage a relationship like this, Like
24:01
Speaker 2: what I felt the God. I felt the heart of
24:04
Speaker 2: God right, And sometimes y'all, some of us get confused
24:08
Speaker 2: with the heart of God with our hearts because the
24:11
Speaker 2: scripture says God will give you the desires of your heart.
24:14
Speaker 2: But that's not the full of scripture. It says, delight
24:17
Speaker 2: yourself in the Lord. I think that's proverbs. Delight yourself
24:21
Speaker 2: in the Lord, and then he will give you the
24:24
Speaker 2: desires of your heart. That when you're delighting yourself in
24:27
Speaker 2: your Lord, watch this you're suffering. It all goes back
24:33
Speaker 2: to you, delighten yourself in the Lord, requires you to
24:36
Speaker 2: suffer you delight yourself in the Lord requires you to
24:41
Speaker 2: tell your flesh no. And it's not just about sex.
24:44
Speaker 2: It's not just about not eating chocolate. It's not just
24:48
Speaker 2: about managing your temple. It's about doing everything for the
24:53
Speaker 2: will of the for the will of the Lord and
24:54
Speaker 2: the will of the Kingdom. That's so good. It's so good,
24:58
Speaker 2: and so I love it. Let's fast forward to because
25:02
Speaker 2: we're gonna read description. Let's fast forward to one Peter four,
25:10
Speaker 2: and we're gonna start at verse twelve. I think I'm
25:12
Speaker 2: gonna end at verse nineteen on this section. So this
25:15
Speaker 2: is titled Christian suffering. It says, dear friends, don't be
25:23
Speaker 2: surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you,
25:29
Speaker 2: as if something unusual were happening to you. Instead, rejoice
25:36
Speaker 2: as you share in the sufferings come on now of Christ,
25:39
Speaker 2: so that you may also rejoice with great joy when
25:43
Speaker 2: His glory is revealed. Thank you, Holy Spirit. If you
25:46
Speaker 2: are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed Jesus,
25:52
Speaker 2: because the spirit of the Spirit of Glory and of
25:56
Speaker 2: God rest on you. Let none of you say as
26:00
Speaker 2: a murderer, a thief an evil doer or a mettler.
26:05
Speaker 2: But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not
26:10
Speaker 2: be ashamed, but let him glorify God in having that name.
26:14
Speaker 2: Thank you Lord, for the time has come for judgment
26:19
Speaker 2: to begin with God's household. And if it begins with us,
26:24
Speaker 2: what will the outcome be for those who disobey the
26:28
Speaker 2: Gospel of God? Verse eighteen says, And if a righteous
26:32
Speaker 2: person is saved with difficulty, what will become of the
26:37
Speaker 2: ungodly and the sinner? Nineteen? So then, let those who
26:42
Speaker 2: suffer according to God's will entrust themselves to a faithful
26:47
Speaker 2: creator while doing what is good. So good Jesus, when
26:54
Speaker 2: I tell you it's so much in that, it's so
26:57
Speaker 2: much in it, It says, oh, for you call yourself
27:01
Speaker 2: a Christian, you gonna suffer. And it says watch this.
27:04
Speaker 2: You shouldn't mourn them, you shall rejoice in it, because
27:08
Speaker 2: that is when God's glory is revealed. We always talk
27:11
Speaker 2: about I need your glory. I won't your glory lessen me?
27:16
Speaker 2: And more review as what I need. If you're really
27:19
Speaker 2: into the God, glory of God, you're into suffering DA's rain.
27:24
Speaker 2: If you are into the glory of God. You are
27:28
Speaker 2: also into suffering. The double as sword is not just
27:33
Speaker 2: for one thing, It's for everything. When you walk as
27:36
Speaker 2: a Christian and a believer, there is a double ed sword.
27:40
Speaker 2: You will see the good, but you will also you
27:42
Speaker 2: will see the pruning, but you will also see the cutting. Wow,
27:47
Speaker 2: both of them feel the same. The glory of God
27:51
Speaker 2: involves suffering. You have to suffer to see the excellence
27:56
Speaker 2: of God. And if you have a problem with that,
28:00
Speaker 2: you need to deal with you, especially if you have
28:02
Speaker 2: dedicated your life to Christ. And I hear people and
28:07
Speaker 2: idge I used to judge people real bad when I
28:10
Speaker 2: used to say certain things. But this is what the
28:12
Speaker 2: word says is black and white. It's really black and white,
28:16
Speaker 2: and we we try to navigate these things. I have
28:19
Speaker 2: a love language, right, I have a love language, a
28:21
Speaker 2: word of affirmation. With it. I'm here to affirm you
28:24
Speaker 2: that your suffering is good. It's good, Your suffering is good.
28:28
Speaker 2: Your suffering means oh my gosh, God trusts me with this.
28:32
Speaker 2: Do you not know that I couldn't enter into twenty
28:36
Speaker 2: twenty six without suffering, I said, God, this first quarter
28:40
Speaker 2: has been in hell. You. I opened the door and
28:43
Speaker 2: it was like what what in the world I'm thinking,
28:46
Speaker 2: bless I'm like, okay, God, this is why I spake this.
28:48
Speaker 2: I spect he said, Okay, he suffer for it, suffer
28:52
Speaker 2: for it. This is why some of you guys are
28:54
Speaker 2: stuck because you're afraid to suffer. You think suffering will
28:59
Speaker 2: take you out. But that's what the grace of God
29:01
Speaker 2: is for it keeps you, it molds you. You might
29:05
Speaker 2: not know what to say, but the Lord has the language.
29:07
Speaker 2: You might not know what to do, but the Lord
29:09
Speaker 2: has the next step. Hallelujah. As you journey with God,
29:13
Speaker 2: there would be opportunities. Watch this. Because you're ignorant and
29:17
Speaker 2: you don't know. You don't know what tomorrow brings. You
29:20
Speaker 2: don't know what you might face, but God does. And
29:23
Speaker 2: God uses that to not only do relationship with us,
29:27
Speaker 2: but to prove how much He loves us. But then,
29:30
Speaker 2: in the love of God, we have a standard to
29:34
Speaker 2: love God too. And you know what God's love language is.
29:37
Speaker 2: Love language is is obedience. Yes, it says in John.
29:41
Speaker 2: I think it's John. It says, if you love me,
29:44
Speaker 2: you obey my commands. And it's not like, oh, if
29:47
Speaker 2: you love me, you obeby on God. It's like no,
29:49
Speaker 2: when you when you love me, when you love me,
29:55
Speaker 2: you will obey my commands. It's an if then and
29:58
Speaker 2: then statement. If you love me, you're gonna do it.
30:02
Speaker 2: It's no just so that means some of us need
30:05
Speaker 2: to learn how to love God more so what so
30:08
Speaker 2: what so we can suffer? Will and watch this? Thank
30:11
Speaker 2: you Holy Spirit out here the Lord say that sometimes
30:14
Speaker 2: God allows suffering so that you can learn to love
30:17
Speaker 2: Him on new levels. We are so cookie cuddled with
30:21
Speaker 2: the love of God, y'all. We become so cookie cuddled
30:24
Speaker 2: with the love of God and so normal. We normalize
30:26
Speaker 2: what we want God, how much we want God to
30:28
Speaker 2: love us, because we know that the more in depth
30:31
Speaker 2: we get with God, the more He's gonna require of us,
30:33
Speaker 2: the more He's gonna expect out of us. And so
30:36
Speaker 2: therefore you wanna remain mediocre, Thank you, Holy Spirit. You
30:39
Speaker 2: want to remain mediocre because you don't want to go
30:42
Speaker 2: in the depths of God because you know there's more
30:44
Speaker 2: suffering there. You didn't you didn't like the last season,
30:47
Speaker 2: so you ask God, don't do it no more. But
30:49
Speaker 2: what you're really doing is hindering what you really want,
30:51
Speaker 2: because God keeps showing you, Thank you Holy Spirit, who
30:54
Speaker 2: you are called to be, who you're supposed to be,
30:56
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to be, manifested into what just not
30:59
Speaker 2: what the hollow Louiah, the legacy that you're supposed to leave,
31:02
Speaker 2: and what your problem is is because you've created a blockage.
31:06
Speaker 2: You've blocked God from allowing you to suffer to the
31:10
Speaker 2: point of His glory. Thank your Holy Spirit to suffer
31:13
Speaker 2: on the point to what you see and what you know,
31:15
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to be doing. And so now we
31:17
Speaker 2: gotta come back and say, God, you know what I
31:19
Speaker 2: repent for that our repent for putting that wall against you.
31:22
Speaker 2: I repent for negating you from allowing me to see
31:25
Speaker 2: your glory. And if suffering is how I'm gonna see
31:29
Speaker 2: your glory, then let me go through it. But I
31:31
Speaker 2: know your grace is sufficient. Let it work together, y'all,
31:34
Speaker 2: because it can't work together if you keep taking pieces
31:37
Speaker 2: away from it. Y'all. I'm trying to tell you the
31:40
Speaker 2: only way we get to do this is if we
31:43
Speaker 2: navigate this journey properly, get to know God more, love God,
31:48
Speaker 2: even the more so because it's not a suggestion that
31:52
Speaker 2: you suffer. It is a requirement, And will you treat
31:57
Speaker 2: suffering like a requirement and even never think you spirit
32:00
Speaker 2: even navigating the suffering, Well, you gotta navigate it. Well.
32:05
Speaker 2: You don't get to suffer and then be pissed about it.
32:09
Speaker 2: You don't get to be something. And when I say pissed,
32:12
Speaker 2: you don't get to piss on nobody else, parade, that's
32:15
Speaker 2: what I mean. You don't get to to make somebody
32:19
Speaker 2: else feel bad because God is trusting you with a season, y'all. Oh,
32:23
Speaker 2: you don't get to make people feel upset because God says, no,
32:27
Speaker 2: I chose you for a time such as this. You
32:30
Speaker 2: don't get to be You don't get to just mistreat
32:33
Speaker 2: everybody else because God is teaching you about you. God
32:39
Speaker 2: is navigating you through your journey. But there's a responsibility
32:45
Speaker 2: to rejoice, to rejoice in the suffering. Do you know
32:51
Speaker 2: how long David suffered for a thing that God had
32:54
Speaker 2: declared was his Come on, somebody, David suffered for it.
33:00
Speaker 2: David mourned, David navigated, He he ran for his life,
33:05
Speaker 2: and then honored the man when he died. He honored
33:10
Speaker 2: the man that participated in his suffering. What happens when
33:16
Speaker 2: God calls you to honor the people that inflicted the suffering.
33:21
Speaker 2: There's a rag girl, because if you only knew, if y'all,
33:25
Speaker 2: if I told y'all a real story, when the Lord
33:27
Speaker 2: let me tell this story, oh it's gonna be real.
33:32
Speaker 2: And so we got to make sure that we're using
33:34
Speaker 2: the right suffering language. Fleshly suffering language is a woeist me.
33:42
Speaker 2: Godly suffering suffering language is God trusts me to go
33:48
Speaker 2: through this. I'm gonna rejoice. I might not be glad
33:51
Speaker 2: right now. I'm not saying and then I'm not saying
33:53
Speaker 2: thank you all the spirit. I'm not saying to not
33:55
Speaker 2: have human emotion. This is why accountability is so important.
34:00
Speaker 2: This is why being amongst people. People say, why is
34:03
Speaker 2: church around? What is church? That's why church is around,
34:06
Speaker 2: so we can gather with like minded people. I called
34:09
Speaker 2: Desiree in the quickness. I called a coach d quick
34:12
Speaker 2: to tell a I'm finna go off. I call my pastors,
34:18
Speaker 2: shout out to Geno and kareein Gardiner. I will text
34:23
Speaker 2: both of them in the group, Hey, I need y'all
34:26
Speaker 2: praying for me because this ain't it and they know me,
34:29
Speaker 2: they know I can go to lift. Okay, So, but
34:34
Speaker 2: that's why being amongst the white people, it gives you
34:39
Speaker 2: that safe space to be human and say, you know what,
34:41
Speaker 2: this is hard, but they'll remind you suffer well, suffer well, Deesirae,
34:45
Speaker 2: you over there shaking, you know, my leg always shake.
34:48
Speaker 2: This is this my twitchy situation. But this was so
34:50
Speaker 2: good to me because I don't think we talk about
34:55
Speaker 2: suffering enough. And I think sometimes we I say we, yeah,
35:01
Speaker 2: in a sense, we almost set people up for failure,
35:04
Speaker 2: like we don't give them the whole truth of the gospel,
35:07
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And so it's like they
35:11
Speaker 2: come to Christ and yes, like you begin to do
35:15
Speaker 2: this walk and things like that, but things will happen.
35:19
Speaker 2: It's not just because you you you've accepted the Lord
35:22
Speaker 2: as your savior, that nothing will happen. Yes, things will happen.
35:24
Speaker 2: But because you've accepted the Lord as your savior, we
35:28
Speaker 2: can we learn to manage the trials differently. And so
35:35
Speaker 2: and and and I'm just thinking about my own journey,
35:38
Speaker 2: Like the Lord knows us, like like he really knows
35:41
Speaker 2: our heart. He really knows the things that are in
35:42
Speaker 2: there that's not like him, the things that will hinder
35:48
Speaker 2: us in the spaces that we're going to, and so
35:50
Speaker 2: a lot of times, nine times out of ten, that's
35:53
Speaker 2: what the trials are for. The trials are to build,
35:56
Speaker 2: to build us, to to break us, yes, yeah, to
35:59
Speaker 2: break us, but also to kill us right there, to
36:01
Speaker 2: break us so that we can see the things that
36:04
Speaker 2: are not like God. Like I mean, I thought I
36:07
Speaker 2: was a good person. I do feel like I'm a
36:08
Speaker 2: good person, but I didn't realize how much pride I
36:10
Speaker 2: had in my heart, how much idolatry I had when
36:13
Speaker 2: it came to like money and dependency on myself like
36:17
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know those things because those had
36:19
Speaker 2: become my norm, my norm. It wasn't until I decided
36:22
Speaker 2: to be obedient that God begin and I begin to
36:24
Speaker 2: do relationship with the Lord, that I begin to learn
36:27
Speaker 2: who he is in his heart. And then he began
36:29
Speaker 2: to reflect the mirror back on myself. And in those
36:34
Speaker 2: hard trial moments, I had to keep reminding myself that
36:37
Speaker 2: this too shell pass. Yeah, that he's doing something. What
36:40
Speaker 2: he doing I don't know, And why I had to
36:41
Speaker 2: be like this, I don't know. But if I don't
36:43
Speaker 2: trust nobody else, I can trust the Lord. If I
36:48
Speaker 2: can't trust me, because y'all, I can't trust me, sometimes
36:51
Speaker 2: I can trust the Lord if I if I really
36:53
Speaker 2: want to walk this thing out for real, I can
36:55
Speaker 2: trust the Lord. And so that that solace has really
36:58
Speaker 2: gotten me to this point. A lot of a lot
37:00
Speaker 2: of the situation, if I'm honest, has not changed, but
37:03
Speaker 2: I've changed in the situation, and I feel and I
37:06
Speaker 2: can sense that I'm coming on the other side of it,
37:11
Speaker 2: and I know that the person that I am now
37:13
Speaker 2: God can continue to trust me with the things that
37:15
Speaker 2: he's bringing to me. The desires of my heart what listen,
37:20
Speaker 2: let me tell you, tell you the desires of my
37:23
Speaker 2: heart now is not the desires that I had two three,
37:26
Speaker 2: four years ago. Yeah, to be married. If I'm honest,
37:30
Speaker 2: that wasn't a desire of my child. I said, Lord
37:32
Speaker 2: made me the rich untie, because what's going on here
37:34
Speaker 2: these people is crazy. Like I can do, I can do,
37:37
Speaker 2: I can do without all that. Yeah. But as I
37:39
Speaker 2: just begin to learn the Lord, to allow the Lord
37:42
Speaker 2: to work on my heart, to pull things out, then
37:44
Speaker 2: to desire his desire because the child it wasn't mine,
37:47
Speaker 2: just begin to shift into molds. And now I'm like,
37:55
Speaker 2: I can see that, and I'm proud of you because
37:58
Speaker 2: I think I came in the suffering or right before
38:03
Speaker 2: it started. Yeah. Yeah, I think we entered each other's
38:07
Speaker 2: lives at the perfect time because the suffering got really
38:12
Speaker 2: it got really well. Maybe they didn't tell me when
38:15
Speaker 2: you say yes, Lord, so you're talking about a seven
38:19
Speaker 2: twenty credit score down to five thirty five. Jesus, this
38:25
Speaker 2: is not out what I signed up foe, Okay, But
38:28
Speaker 2: when I tell you, I'm like, it's it's it's building,
38:31
Speaker 2: it's built. But also and that's not that's not my
38:34
Speaker 2: God anymore. Yeah, come on, Like can you say that?
38:36
Speaker 2: It's not like money's not my God anymore, like the
38:40
Speaker 2: need for stability, like that, it's not my God anymore.
38:42
Speaker 2: Because I've I've learned the Lord as my jehola jirah
38:46
Speaker 2: because I almost died child, yeh, he saved me and
38:49
Speaker 2: and I've learned him as my provider. And now I'm
38:54
Speaker 2: in and I'm in a space where he's he's I'm
38:56
Speaker 2: learning him as Abba and that space has been very
39:00
Speaker 2: interesting because I had to be honest with him. I
39:04
Speaker 2: don't know, this is this is me. This is my
39:05
Speaker 2: comment to the Lord. I don't know what to call you, Like, yes,
39:10
Speaker 2: I call you Lord and Savior, but like do I
39:13
Speaker 2: call you Daddy? Do I call you dad? Do I
39:15
Speaker 2: call you Abbah? Do I call you father? Because those
39:18
Speaker 2: are more intimate, intimate spaces and if he's been here,
39:22
Speaker 2: you've heard the testimonies about me and my father my dad, right,
39:26
Speaker 2: So as he's healing those spaces, I'm beginning to see
39:29
Speaker 2: him more as my father. And so I'm like, what
39:32
Speaker 2: do you want me? And I asked him, I said,
39:33
Speaker 2: what do you want to call you? And I'm still
39:34
Speaker 2: listening for that. But that but that only comes, that
39:37
Speaker 2: has only come in the obedience, in the suffering, in
39:40
Speaker 2: the healing, in the journey. You know what I'm saying.
39:43
Speaker 2: And so I'm excited. That's so good. You bring up
39:44
Speaker 2: a good point, does Airay? We we value nique names
39:50
Speaker 2: and some people, uh, they'll tell me, hey, just Jessica.
39:55
Speaker 2: Would you prefer just or Jessica? I said, whatever makes
39:58
Speaker 2: you feel comfortable, right, And I do that just for
40:03
Speaker 2: people can not stress out about like whatever lungs. It's
40:06
Speaker 2: just so Jessica. But there are certain people that call
40:10
Speaker 2: me by my middle name, and you better not say
40:13
Speaker 2: it right now. Okay, there are certain people, and I'm
40:17
Speaker 2: very strict on that that call me by my middle name.
40:20
Speaker 2: But those only people that not only know my middle name,
40:25
Speaker 2: but they've seen me in spaces. My memo was one
40:29
Speaker 2: of the main people that called me by my middle name,
40:32
Speaker 2: and only special people call me by my middle name.
40:36
Speaker 2: And so the calling on certain the name is important,
40:42
Speaker 2: which name to call me by, and I respond to
40:46
Speaker 2: you when you call me back, then I'll be like, oh, okay,
40:48
Speaker 2: you know, and it does something to me, like it
40:50
Speaker 2: puts me in order, like it checks me. You know
40:52
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And it wasn't. It's never is a
40:54
Speaker 2: bad thing, but it's like, oh, she trying to give
40:56
Speaker 2: my attention on something else. Like I know, God, calling
41:00
Speaker 2: me by that name is so intimate, But you can't
41:04
Speaker 2: just call me by that name. You would, it's somebody
41:08
Speaker 2: else you would never You'll never be able to call
41:11
Speaker 2: me by that name. And we're gonna have a problem
41:13
Speaker 2: if you call me by that name because you don't
41:15
Speaker 2: even know me like that. Yeah, come on, you don't
41:18
Speaker 2: even know me to be calling me that. So we
41:21
Speaker 2: be like, oh, God is our our father? Is he
41:24
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, is he is he? Do you know him
41:30
Speaker 2: like that? The only way you get to know him
41:33
Speaker 2: like that is if you suffer. Doesn't really suffer with me?
41:37
Speaker 2: She seen me. She not only she sees me, but
41:39
Speaker 2: she got in there with me. What thank you? Lord.
41:42
Speaker 2: We need to stop being the audience of God and
41:46
Speaker 2: participate in the things of Him. Have you got in
41:50
Speaker 2: it with him? Have you said you know I'm going
41:54
Speaker 2: I'm not just going to survive this thing called Christianity.
41:57
Speaker 2: I am going to journey as a Christian, as a believer,
42:01
Speaker 2: and the journey requires suffering. And so how we end
42:06
Speaker 2: this is is one Peter five, And I'm gonna start
42:14
Speaker 2: at the sixth verse, and I'm gonna go to the eleventh.
42:19
Speaker 2: It says, humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
42:23
Speaker 2: so that He may exalt you at the proper time,
42:27
Speaker 2: Casting all your cares on him, because He cares about you.
42:32
Speaker 2: Be sober minded, Be alert your adversary. The devil is
42:36
Speaker 2: prowing around like a ruin lion, looking for anyone he
42:41
Speaker 2: can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that
42:46
Speaker 2: the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your
42:51
Speaker 2: fellow believers throughout the world. Verse ten says the God
42:57
Speaker 2: of all grace, who call you to this eternal glory
43:02
Speaker 2: in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you
43:10
Speaker 2: after you have suffered a little while to him be
43:15
Speaker 2: dominion forever a man a man. You're not going to
43:22
Speaker 2: go through this by yourself. God has placed us and
43:29
Speaker 2: allowed us to be a community with other fellow believers
43:33
Speaker 2: that are understanding how to properly suffer. And so if
43:39
Speaker 2: this is your community, join a safe space and we
43:42
Speaker 2: hold you accountable in your suffering. Yes, we push you
43:47
Speaker 2: to your next But maybe if it's not the safe space,
43:50
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. Maybe if it's your local your
43:53
Speaker 2: local community, your church, your your small group, your friends.
43:57
Speaker 2: You have to be amongst the right people to suffer
44:00
Speaker 2: for will You don't just suffer well, you suffer well
44:03
Speaker 2: in a community. And what you have to do in
44:07
Speaker 2: order to do that you have to humble yourself. You
44:09
Speaker 2: have to say, yeah, this ain't it. I need help.
44:12
Speaker 2: You're still gonna have to go through it, but you're
44:14
Speaker 2: not gonna have to go through it alone. And so
44:18
Speaker 2: God's promised and it says this in verse ten and
44:23
Speaker 2: if y'all don't hear anything I said, I want to
44:26
Speaker 2: leave one Peter, five and ten with you, and I'm
44:30
Speaker 2: gonna say it again. The God of all grace, who
44:34
Speaker 2: called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish,
44:42
Speaker 2: strengthen and support you after you have suffered a little while.
44:49
Speaker 2: I hope this blessed you. I hope you're ready to
44:53
Speaker 2: suffer well so that God can extend his eternal grace
44:58
Speaker 2: and that he can show his eternal life love for you.
