So the topic I'm going to talk about tonight, let me start off
0:56
by saying this right? Let me stop by saying this.
1:00
I'm not a doctor. Anything that's shared is for
1:06
educational purposes only. I am not a doctor.
1:11
So what I'm sharing is not is is is I'm not a doctor.
1:19
Let me say it like that. OK so y'all can understand right
1:22
off the top, I'm not a doctor. OK, so tonight we're going to be
1:27
talking about some everybody didn't experience before and
1:32
some people probably experience it and now it's called walking
1:35
paranoia. Is it your mind, your flesh, or
1:40
your or just spiritual warfare? It just depends on where you are
1:43
right? So excuse me, if you want a
1:48
biblical base for this, the main scripture is going to be second
1:53
Timothy 21 and seven. For God has not given us the
1:56
spirit of fear, but power of but a power and love and a sound of
2:01
mind. So let's get right into this
2:04
tonight. Y'all OK Now today's discussion
2:09
may change, may challenge many of us because you know we we
2:14
experience moments of paranoia paranoia.
2:17
Let me get my words right paranoia.
2:19
Let me say this before I get started too.
2:21
Hey, don't forget don't forget y'all check out check me out on
2:24
all of my platforms, man. You know I'm a let's talk on
2:29
Facebook, man talk 133 Instagram man talk 133, YouTube, man talk
2:34
133, our heart, Pandora, apple all over the placement all just
2:45
check me out check out all the platforms right also got a got a
2:51
clothing line too. Is man talk 133 apparel company
2:57
that will be up soon. So that's coming right.
3:01
So today's discussion is going to challenge most of us because
3:05
everybody's experienced this at some time or another, right?
3:10
Some people leave, some people may think and believe
3:12
everybody's against them. Some people think conversations
3:16
is about them. You heard somebody, they were
3:18
there talking. Now they talking about, I know
3:19
they talking about me. I know they talking about they
3:22
got to be talking about me. I know they are talking about me
3:25
and they're probably not. Some assume every close door is
3:30
proof that someone is plotting against them.
3:33
I ain't get that job because they was they they were plotting
3:35
against me. They they didn't really excuse
3:38
me. They ain't really like me.
3:40
That's why I ain't get that job. Now that you couldn't be you
3:44
didn't meet the qualifications or you won't skilled enough at
3:49
the job or you won't own your job long enough to get the job.
3:54
But somebody plotting against you and another side of it,
3:59
others can dismiss every strange feeling when they are actually,
4:03
they actually may be in danger. Like for example, you know, they
4:08
feel like, hey, you know, I ain't going to fall off this
4:12
edge of this building. I'm good.
4:13
I got it. You know, I, I know this is,
4:15
this is, this is, this is nothing right here.
4:17
I ain't going to fall when they're actually in danger.
4:19
So tonight we're asking, when is paranoia psychological?
4:24
When is the spiritual? How do we know the difference?
4:28
Because misunderstanding either one can destroy relationships,
4:33
careers, ministries, and even families.
4:36
So what is paranoia? What is paranoia I Paranoia is a
4:41
persistent, irrational distrust or suspicion of others, right?
4:47
Let me say that again. Paranoia is a persistent or
4:51
irrational distrust or suspicion of others.
4:56
Examples could be I know they talking about me.
4:59
My pastor, he secretly hate me. I know who I know he don't
5:02
really like me. I know he don't.
5:04
I can just I can just tell by the way he I can tell by the way
5:07
he look at me sometimes He don't he don't like me.
5:11
My coworkers trying to get me fired.
5:12
You see him over there, that huddle, I know they're going to
5:16
go tell the supervisor that I'm doing something that I ain't
5:19
really doing. My friends have abandoned me.
5:24
When your friends are right there the whole time, the
5:27
problem is you have abandoned them.
5:29
You don't even go around them like you used to, right?
5:33
Sometimes those thoughts are true.
5:35
Many times they are not true. You're making them up in your
5:40
mind, just coming up with different things and thoughts
5:44
and crazy Daisy thoughts that you, that all these people are
5:49
against you. They trying to get you fired,
5:50
they're trying to do XYZ blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah
5:53
blah, blah, blah, right. So some common signs of walking
5:57
paranoia, consistent suspicion. Boy, they don't they think, yo,
6:04
what's going on over there? You know, they doing something
6:07
to my food over there because they've been, they've been,
6:10
they've had it back there for a long time.
6:12
I don't think I really want this food now that they may done
6:15
something to it. Reading hidden messages,
6:19
overthinking conversations, having a conversation with
6:22
somebody and you're overthinking it like wait a minute what they
6:27
say it don't make sense though is wait a minute it can't be
6:32
right. The conversation that you're
6:35
overthinking it is not that deep.
6:38
Difficulty trusting feeling watched you looking over not I
6:46
know somebody watching me like it's there's got to be somebody
6:49
watching me. I don't understand, but I know
6:52
somebody where they fall. You see the car following us?
6:55
Been following us for the last two seconds.
6:58
Probably because y'all going out the parking lot and they got to
7:01
go out the same way. You going that probably what
7:04
that mean? Y'all taking everything
7:08
personally. They say something and you take
7:11
it personally. Boy ain't gonna lie to you or
7:14
girl ain't gonna lie to you. Your big head can eat.
7:18
Hold on, wait a minute while you got to talk about my head size,
7:22
you know, or you know, something just simple as that.
7:26
Believing innocent events are attacks somebody to say
7:30
something that's innocent. Like hey, you know, man, you got
7:35
some your shoes dirty and you got a little dirt, your shoes
7:40
dirty and you may have a little piece of dirt on the side.
7:43
You thinking they talking about your shoes dirty like man, I
7:45
don't wear no dirty shoes. Look at me, I don't do that
7:50
paranoia. Now statistics say millions
7:57
experience paranoid, paranoid thinking at times.
8:01
I know I have. I mean, I ain't never going to
8:03
lie to you. I know I have.
8:04
I'm going to get into a, a a true story when I get to the
8:11
part I need to get to. But I'm a real true life
8:15
paranoid experience, right? Stress increases suspicious
8:21
thinking. You know when people sleep in
8:23
and when they stress and they they think and everything is
8:27
everybody coming out to get them Not true.
8:34
Sleep deprivation makes paranoia worse. 100% drug use can trigger
8:40
paranoia. Now, this is the true story that
8:44
I, this is a true story that I, when I was like 18, like I was
8:54
in 1993, I think. So I had this thing, I want to
8:58
try some marijuana, right? And I tried it and it made me so
9:05
paranoid that I couldn't even drive.
9:07
I couldn't even bring myself to push the gas pedal on the thing.
9:11
I was just so nervous and so fearful of what was going to
9:14
happen. I was paranoid and gets home and
9:18
I'm thinking like back in the day, it's just used to be a show
9:21
named Quantum Leap. And everybody that's older, like
9:24
my age, 50 and ages like that know what I'm talking about.
9:28
What this guy used to have, like I guess a guardian Angel with
9:30
him and he would be talking to this guy and nobody can see him
9:36
with him. So I was thinking like I'm
9:38
talking to my brother outside him and his son.
9:41
I'm thinking, what if they ain't really out here and I'm just
9:45
standing here talking and everybody looking out the window
9:48
wondering what is he doing outside?
9:52
Is he he out there tripping? So drug use can trigger paranoia
9:57
because he did it with me for sure.
9:59
Now social isolation increases paranoia.
10:03
But if people don't know who don't know what social isolation
10:07
is social. Social isolation is a state of
10:10
complete or near lack of contact between an individual or
10:14
society. Basically, they are a loner, and
10:19
when you're a loner, you're out of touch with reality.
10:22
So you can think things that are really not there.
10:27
And that's what that social isolation piece.
10:31
That's why it's good for, to have kids around other kids so
10:35
they can understand how to socialize.
10:39
Trauma often creates hyper village, village diligence.
10:46
Diligence. Yeah, I can get it out of
10:49
villages. Is the condition of the nervous
10:51
system where the sensory information is inaccurately and
10:55
rapidly filtered in an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity.
11:03
Meaning that you got these lies flooding you, your mind so fast.
11:07
They flooding it so fast. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
11:10
And you can't keep up with them because they, because all of
11:14
them seem real and it's just all of them probably fake.
11:19
You know what I'm saying? It's just, it's just what it is.
11:21
So have you ever, have you ever accused someone?
11:27
Everybody has accused someone and we were completely wrong.
11:31
Yes, everybody has done that and been completely wrong.
11:35
I know I have millions of times, right?
11:39
And I apologize and got that right.
11:41
If I didn't, whoever watching this show, if I accuse you of
11:45
something and apologize, I'm sorry, right?
11:51
The psychologic, the psychologic.
11:53
Psychologic do. I cannot get this word out.
11:56
The psychology behind the paranoia.
12:01
Fear rewires the brain. So fear takes your brain and
12:06
changes it and it makes you feel like everybody out to get you or
12:13
something's going to happen. It's not going to happen, right?
12:16
Trauma changes expectations. Past betrayal creates future
12:20
suspicion. Example, someone stole from you
12:24
one time when you was, I don't know, five years old.
12:28
They stole your snag out your cubby in kindergarten.
12:32
Now everybody, you 50 and everybody still look guilty.
12:36
Everybody, everybody look guilty and you just like what?
12:42
These are some things that can create hyper hyper villages,
12:45
right? Village.
12:47
I think it was there village, village, village.
12:50
I think I'm saying that right Y'all PTSD child.
12:54
We're going to get into some of these and we get into some
12:56
before the break, but we're going to get into the rest of
12:58
the after the break right? So PTSD, childhood abuse, bully,
13:04
church, hurt, broken trust, military experiences, violence,
13:08
all of these can create hyper villages, right?
13:11
So how? Here's how hyper Here's how each
13:20
one can contribute child abuse. Right When a person who should
13:24
provide safety is a source of fear.
13:28
A child may learn to consistently monitor facial
13:32
expressions, footsteps, toner voice, doors opening, and
13:37
changes in mood. That survival habit can continue
13:41
up into adulthood. What they're thinking is what's
13:46
about to happen and coming in too fast.
13:49
They open up the door too fast, they slammed it too fast and
13:52
they walk it down the hallway too fast.
13:53
They, they voice is too high or too loud or too aggressive, hey,
14:00
you just kind of do something to them.
14:02
They kind of like, OK, now what's about to happen?
14:04
I got my guard up because I already know something stupid
14:08
about to happen. So I might want to, I might want
14:11
to put my guard up around them just in case because I already
14:16
know something might happen. Bullying, repeated humiliation,
14:22
threats, rejection, or physical attacks can teach someone to
14:27
scan social environments. Excuse me, y'all for danger?
14:32
A laugh across the room whispering criticism of someone
14:36
approaching aggressively may trigger an immediate defense
14:42
response. In other words, you run up on
14:44
the wrong way, they may they may take off on you.
14:48
You got to be careful because you know who what trauma people
14:52
experienced when they were young?
14:54
Bullying or, or childhood abuse And you look, we'll be right
14:59
back after the break, y'all. Stats tell that each day, 22
15:02
veterans commit suicide due to PTSD.
15:06
These stats shook us and urged us to do our part.
15:10
After hours and hours of thinking, beekeeping for
15:13
veterans was born. Beekeeping for veterans combines
15:17
beekeeping with mindfulness meditation.
15:20
Why combine them? Here's why beekeeping causes
15:24
positive rush of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
15:28
calm during it you are mindful of your movements.
15:31
Each week, a veteran will receive a mindful meditation to
15:35
build emotional and mental skill sets.
15:37
Mindfulness is a set of three attentional skills that work
15:41
together, concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity, mental
15:46
calmness, composure, evenness of temper.
15:49
Every time mindfulness is practiced, we build these
15:52
skills. Beekeeping for veterans not only
15:55
helps veterans overcome emotional trauma but also aids
15:58
our environment as without bees there is no food.
16:02
Come forward. The people who have supported
16:05
your country now need your support.

16:17
voice. Find us on the web at MB Radio
16:21
dot US. Opinions expressed in this
16:23
program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily
16:28
reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
16:33
Welcome back to Man Talk 133 with me and Unite.
16:36
Tonight we're talking about walking paranoid somebody always
16:42
thinking somebody trying to get them or got a plot against them
16:47
or whatever The thing is, is in their mind walking paranoia.
16:52
Is it your mind flesh or spiritual warfare?
16:56
So we've gotten into some things like before the break.
16:59
So we talked a little bit about bullying.
17:03
It may trigger response that hey may not want and they take
17:10
'cause somebody to take off on you.
17:13
So the next one is church hurt. Spiritual environments can
17:16
become associated with danger. When someone someone experiences
17:21
manipulation, humiliation, betrayal, abuse, excuse me,
17:26
rejection or misuse of spiritual authority.
17:30
These people become highly alert around leaders, religious
17:35
environments, criticism, or situations that resemble what
17:39
happened to them when leaders, leaders church hurt.
17:46
I know people say, oh, church, church, excuse me, Church hurt
17:50
is a real thing. People have been manipulated in
17:55
church, humiliated in church, betrayed in church, abused in
18:01
church, rejected in church, and people have misused their
18:05
spiritual authority to have people do things that they were
18:07
not supposed to do. It's a fact.
18:10
Church hurt does exist. Sorry for the ones that don't
18:16
think it do, but it does. Church hurt actually exists,
18:20
right? But because when people get in
18:25
these positions, they take advantage of people, which is
18:28
absolutely wrong, right? But people, when they see this,
18:33
it resembles them. It resembles of what they
18:36
actually went through when they were going through this at
18:40
another church or another organization or whatever, right.
18:44
So not every painful church experience is traumatic enough
18:48
to cause PTSD, but severe or or repeated experiences can have
18:53
lasting effects. Like it could be some people
18:57
that it could be some people that have been through so much
19:03
church they didn't level church. They're like, you know what?
19:05
I don't you really. I'm not going.
19:07
I'm not going to deal with it. I just can't deal with.
19:10
I tried it and evoking church have This is the third church
19:14
that has manipulated me, betrayed me, lied to me, cheated
19:18
me, all these other things. I'm done with it, right?
19:21
Yeah. This is to my veterans and the
19:23
people that are in the military right now.
19:25
Military experiences combat incoming fire, explosions,
19:29
casualties, dangerous missions, military sexual trauma or
19:34
persistent threat to a service member to maintain extraordinary
19:39
situational awareness right can train a service member to
19:44
maintain extraordinary or extraordinary situational
19:50
awareness most military people that's been in some type of
19:56
combat or military in general they have a very high.
20:00
The situation of awareness, they want to know behind what's going
20:04
on. A lot of them can't even sit.
20:05
They had to have their back to the wall, right?
20:09
Excuse me, y'all? So it's because they went what
20:13
they went through. Now that response is useful in
20:16
dangerous environments. Although afterwards, the nervous
20:20
system may continue to treat crowds, unexpected noises,
20:23
unfamiliar vehicles, people approaching from behind and
20:26
unsecured exits as potential threats.
20:30
And think about it, they're sitting at A at A at a have to
20:38
say their doors all the time or it can't be in big crowds.
20:42
You see a car. I don't know, they get
20:44
suspicious and, you know, go to go to maybe go to crutch it and
20:47
go, go to grab and they they thing they ain't sure.
20:51
So these are some things that is walking paranoia, right?
20:57
Although some of this may be true, which it is that they've
21:00
been in some type of combat or anything like that.
21:03
That is exactly what they face, right.
21:05
And something ain't even been in there.
21:07
Just the situation awareness from the training that they went
21:10
into the military right Violence, experiencing or
21:16
witnessing assault, shootings, domestic violence and others
21:21
serious violence. Violence can teach the brain
21:25
that danger can erupt suddenly. Someone may bring.
21:31
Listen y'all, I'm trying to read this thing.
21:34
I got my notes right here and I'm trying to read it too fast.
21:38
Let me slow down a little bit. Y'all got time?
21:41
Just let me slow down a little bit, all right?
21:44
Someone may begin watching people's hands identify exits,
21:49
sitting with their back against the wall, reacting strongly to
21:54
noises or constantly checking their surroundings.
21:58
Going to the door windows, make sure ain't nobody no strange
22:03
car. Therefore, I go to bed, eat up
22:05
again just looking and making sure ain't nobody out there
22:12
because it could be trying to get me because of some idea 30
22:15
years ago. I don't think they forgot, you
22:18
know what I'm saying? I really don't think they forgot
22:20
what I did and maybe trying to get me, I don't know.
22:22
But I'm going to keep my eye glued to this window, right?
22:27
And think about this for a second.
22:30
Now you have kids that grow up in this type of environment that
22:40
don't know how to process like grown people.
22:44
So what they do is they take this into school, this, this,
22:50
this anger, unexpressed anger into school.
22:53
They don't know how to express the anger in school.
22:55
So now they get into fights and they get in all these different
23:00
things because they grew up in these environments and think
23:04
about a grown person. This is what I said.
23:06
A grown person that witness assaults, shootings, domestic
23:10
violence and other series violence can teach the brain
23:15
that danger can erupt suddenly. Now just imagine the kid, if you
23:21
got a teacher, just being loud and aggressive, right?
23:25
You're going to get out of my classroom.
23:27
They're watching hands, you know, they react strongly to you
23:31
know, hey, you're doing too much moving with your hand.
23:36
Like I need you to chill out with that.
23:39
Now just imagine grown folk and you got a little child.
23:44
Little kids go through this every single day and they don't
23:48
have the resources to therapy or counseling or anything like that
23:52
because of where they are in the in the area that they stay and
23:55
their parents just may not be able to afford it.
23:57
So, so when kids are acting like that, just got to be mindful
24:01
that it it you got to look at where they come from and maybe
24:06
without a dad or a mom or whatever, maybe staying with
24:09
grandma, maybe in a bad neighborhood, maybe in gang
24:12
infested neighborhood or maybe in an abusive household.
24:16
So these are things you got to check because they are walking
24:20
in paranoia. They are paranoid of what making
24:23
happen right now. The common denominator.
24:29
Your brain learn from danger. OK, a useful way to understand
24:34
this process is traumatic experience.
24:37
Threat detected, survival response.
24:40
Activated. Brain remembers the danger.
24:44
Similar situations trigger the alarm.
24:47
Repeated active activation reinforces hyperbilitence,
24:51
right? So let me read that again.
24:55
Traumatic experience, threat detected, survival response
25:00
activated. They're going to do what they
25:02
got to do, whether they got to shoot their way out of fight
25:04
their way out. The brain remembers the danger
25:08
of what happened when it was younger.
25:11
Similar situations trigger that alone.
25:15
Repeated activation reinforces hyperbillages.
25:18
Right now the brains threat detection systems can be more
25:25
reactive while the body activates the sympathetic fight
25:31
or flight response more readily. Stress hormone, heart rate,
25:36
muscle tension, attention and sensory awareness can all
25:39
increase, they said. Like for example, they heard
25:41
some gunshots, first thing they do, they fight a flight, they
25:46
get the heart rate go up, the muscle tense up.
25:51
Think about that all these things increase isn't walking in
25:56
paranoia. They ain't somebody that I maybe
25:59
know that I know maybe getting shot because last time I heard
26:04
that one of my friends got shot and killed right.
26:08
So you never know what that you know what the what the thought
26:11
process is. This is what hyper villages
26:13
isn't simply thinking too much. It can involve the entire body.
26:19
Someone might experience consulates, scanning rooms,
26:22
sitting there, exits stalling easy like you walk up, hey jump,
26:25
oh boy, you need to stop doing that.
26:27
That's you got me with that one stop.
26:30
Difficulty sleeping. They can't sleep at night
26:32
because they got to keep checking in windows.
26:35
Irritability probably goes with lack of sleep, inability to
26:39
relax because they got to keep checking in windows.
26:42
Mistrust, don't trust nobody. The last 10 people they tried to
26:46
trust got over on them. Racing thoughts.
26:49
They are just thinking crazy stuff all the time.
26:52
You know? You know what is them about to
26:54
come out and shoot this house up like they did the other one.
26:57
You know what I'm saying? Like it's different things like
26:59
that man that could checking locks repeatedly.
27:03
I got to go make sure you just take checked the lock 30 minutes
27:06
ago somebody might came behind. Ain't nobody here with you.
27:11
Are you going to keep checking the locks?
27:15
Paranoia watching people's body language, feeling that something
27:19
bad is coming or becoming exhausted from always being on
27:24
Like dude, think about this. Your mind is activated all that
27:30
you're thinking all the time. You you do nothing but think all
27:35
the time. Think, think, think, think,
27:38
think, think, think, think, think, think, think all the
27:41
time, right in your mind, just processes all day long.
27:45
You can't sleep, you know what I'm saying?
27:49
You can't sleep. You don't trust nobody.
27:54
You got these racing thoughts. You're walking through the house
27:56
checking locks all the time, just checking locks all the
27:58
time, all the time, all the time.
28:00
That can wear a person out completely out right now before
28:06
I go to break because I'm up against the break again.
28:10
Hyperbility hyperbilligence is a symptom that not automatically
28:15
is diagnosed with a PTSD. It's not automatic.
28:18
It's not automatically assumed as PTSDPCSD involves a
28:22
particular combination combination of symptoms
28:25
following trauma, including intrusion symptoms, avoidance,
28:30
changes in moods and thinking and changes in arousal activity
28:35
and requires professional assessment.
28:37
So it's a difference, right? Because when somebody that has
28:46
PTSD, it's just like the guys have been to war.
28:48
It's a difference in somebody being, I would say in a game and
28:55
getting shot at all the time versus somebody being in war and
28:58
shot at all the time. I would, I would say I've never
29:02
been in a game and I never been shot at, thank the Lord, right,
29:07
that I've never been. But I would imagine there are
29:09
two, two totally different mindsets and thought processes,
29:13
both of them trying to make it home, both of them getting shot
29:16
at, you know, but I think it's different situations because the
29:21
military guy, he's going to eventually, excuse me, he's
29:26
going to eventually leave where he is and come home.
29:31
The gang member got to stay there.
29:32
That's his home. So he's there all the time.
29:35
He can't leave, he's stuck there, right.
29:38
So I would have mentioned, I would imagine that's the
29:42
difference in between the two. Example, David spent years
29:46
hiding from Saul. Imagine how difficult it is.
29:51
It could become trusting people become after.
29:56
Listen, I told y'all had a long day.
30:01
Imagine how difficult trusting people become afterward.
30:05
After you go through all that with people, imagine how
30:08
difficult that could be. I'll be right back after the
30:11
break. It's time for a vacation in

Welcome back to Man Talk 133 where me and you night.
31:31
Welcome to the show tonight, anybody just TuneIn.
31:34
Welcome to the show. Thanks for tuning in.
31:38
I really do appreciate tonight we're talking about walking
31:41
heroin. Boya for the record said this in
31:44
the beginning. But for the record, I'm not a
31:46
doctor, I'm not licensed. This is for educational purposes
31:51
only. If you having some issues, don't
31:54
say man talk. 133 said nothing. Go get yourself checked out.
31:58
I'm just giving you some symptoms and things about
32:02
walking paranoia, how people being paranoid and all that
32:05
stuff like that. That's all.
32:07
That's all I'm doing, y'all. I'm just trying to educate the
32:09
people, that's it. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a
32:15
licensed therapist, None of that, none of that.
32:19
I am a licensed life coach, certified licensed, certified
32:22
life coach. I am that and business
32:24
consultant. So anyway, can pass pain cause
32:31
present paranoia? Absolutely it can.
32:33
I just read that and it's, it most definitely can.
32:37
It can cause it, you know what I mean?
32:40
So let's get into another side of this thing, right?
32:45
Spiritual warfare is real now. Everything is a mental illness.
32:51
The Bible clearly teaches spiritual attacks.
32:57
Ephesians 6. We wrestle against flesh, and we
33:00
wrestle not against flesh and blood.
33:03
But people don't know what that means.
33:04
You wrestle against these spirits.
33:06
You know what I'm saying? That's the dagger that was you
33:09
wrestling against. For example, Jesus was tempted
33:12
by the devil. He took him.
33:13
I want a high place told me do all these other things, you
33:16
know, jump off the thing and turn this this into bread and
33:23
all this little stuff that he tried to get him to do.
33:26
That's the spirit that was not a that was not a not a mental
33:33
illness. It's a spiritual thing.
33:34
What Job experienced, you know, everything he went through.
33:39
That was the spirit that that he was the devil was going to and
33:44
fro looking for somebody. God said, Hey, consider my
33:47
servant Job. You don't take his life, don't
33:53
kill him, but you can, you can do what you want to to him.
33:58
Paul and Daniel. Daniel got through in the land,
34:00
got through and threw into the lion's den.
34:03
God was there with him. The enemy creates fear.
34:07
He creates confusion, creates division, creates isolation and
34:14
accusation. So the question is how can we
34:17
tell if it is spiritual warfare instead of anxiety, How can we?
34:24
How can we, How can we, how can we tell?
34:26
So to answer that question, it can be hard to tell because
34:28
anxiety and what Christians describe as spiritual warfare
34:32
can feel similar. Fear, race and thoughts, dread,
34:38
confusion, sleepless and feeling threatened.
34:42
Now I wouldn't use the intensity of feeling itself as proof of
34:49
something spiritual is happening.
34:52
I wouldn't. But it could be I'm talking
34:56
about me personally, right? So let's take this out from a
35:00
Christian perspective. A useful approach is to test
35:05
rather than assume. So ask what evidence supports
35:10
what I'm thinking. Is there a natural explanation?
35:15
Am I exhausted, stressed, grieving, under under pressure,
35:19
or reacting to a previous hurt? Does this thought lead me toward
35:24
truth, wisdom, love, or self-control, or toward panic,
35:30
accusation, isolation, and impulsive decisions?
35:35
What does it lead you to is when you do that, it'll help you
35:38
understand whether it's a spiritual attack or, you know,
35:42
just a paranoia. So the Bible lists several
35:53
principles to help Second Timothy 2 one through 7.
35:56
Is that the power of love, the power of love in the sound mind.
36:00
2nd Corinthians 5, second grade 5 and 10 speaks about talking
36:05
about taking thoughts captive. Every crazy thought you have,
36:09
you take it captive, right? John one and four first, John
36:14
one first. John four and one says test the
36:17
Spirit by the Spirit to see whether it is of God.
36:22
That way you can tell whether it's whether it's warfare or
36:25
spiritual, whatever. Right in James 3 and 17
36:30
describes godly wisdom as pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable,
36:36
and sincere, right? So in other words, Christians do
36:39
not require you to believe every frightening thought about
36:43
thoughts simply as simply because it feels spiritual,
36:48
right? It could be.
36:50
It could be paranoia, you know, because we're talking about
36:56
walking paranoia. It could be paranoia.
36:59
So let's go into this real quick.
37:00
A practical distinction of your a practical distinction could be
37:07
discernment investigates paranoia assumed.
37:13
So if it's discernment, you're going to seek the Lord a little
37:16
further to get a little bit more clarification on the paranoia is
37:19
automatically assume somebody trying to get me anxiety asked
37:23
what if fear say something is bad is going to happen is
37:27
inevitable it's going to happen. Wisdom asks, what do I actually
37:31
know? Babe says whatever happens, I
37:34
will seek God and respond wisely.
37:39
So what I'm saying is that a lot of people think it could be
37:46
spiritual or I think it could be paranoia and it could be either,
37:50
or it could be you thinking, I know this is spiritual, but it
37:59
actually could be you paranoid about something because you
38:02
operating in in fear, you know what I'm saying?
38:06
And some people think that they could be operating in
38:11
spiritually and it could be operating in fear and it could
38:15
be spiritual. So you got to have discernment
38:17
to be able to understand that it does not always have to be
38:23
either or. A Christian can believe
38:25
spiritual warfare is real, but also recognize anxiety as a
38:29
genuine psychological experience.
38:31
Prayer, scripture, sleep, healthy relationships,
38:34
counseling and medical care when appropriate.
38:38
Don't complete, don't compete with faith.
38:41
So you can do all that and still not compete with what God got
38:46
going on for you, right? So Satan is called the Accuser.
38:52
Revelations 12 and notice accusation is one of Satan's
38:56
greatest weapons. What did the examples do he use?
39:01
They hate you. They make you feel like people
39:04
hate you. They're plotting against you.
39:06
They're laughing at you. Look at them.
39:07
Look at them over there laughing at you.
39:09
So just look at them. Nobody loves you.
39:12
When everybody around you tell you they love you, you can't
39:16
trust no more. You can't trust nobody.
39:19
I mean, you can't even trust some people that have been with
39:22
you for years and years and years and years and years.
39:25
It sound familiar to y'all how how we can take and how we can
39:31
take and let paranoia mess up friendships, ministries, excuse
39:38
me, all that stuff like that. That sound familiar to y'all
39:41
though? How accusations can destroy
39:45
churches, businesses and friendships.
39:48
Like for example, you know, some people can try to destroy a
39:51
church by going to say that the pastor or that church over
39:54
there, you know, they, they do a lot of whore mongering over
39:59
there. I don't know if you want to go
40:00
over there or not. They do a lot of lying.
40:01
They do a lot of cheating over there.
40:03
Last time I went over there, they beat me out of my $2.00.
40:07
Yeah, I don't know, Like you got to, you got to do it.
40:10
You got to have. You got to sometimes you got to
40:13
go check it out, go investigate. I don't know where everybody
40:16
else is good. I'm telling you don't go over
40:17
there messing with you know you can take somebody got a business
40:22
that's going real good. Somebody will get one plate of
40:25
food right and this may not even be the food that made them feel
40:31
bad. They go in as at this place
40:34
here, look at the reviews. All you got to do is look at the
40:36
reviews hope we can take you some crazy stuff you did the
40:39
place got like a 4.9. You got two people that want to
40:44
put some crazy stuff over the time of the food up there ain't
40:47
no good while people do that. I don't I don't understand right
40:52
It's it's beyond me. You think about this now
40:57
somebody can have somebody, they can pay somebody $10,000 to do
41:01
some catering for them, right? And then because they so grimy
41:06
and slimy, they can put up a, a review and said everybody at the
41:12
thing got sick and got sick from their food and either everybody
41:17
ate and got food, they request A10 grand back.
41:19
Pathetic. That is some pathetic, pathetic
41:22
behavior. Friendships, you know what I'm
41:25
saying? Accusations can destroy
41:27
friendships. You accuse your friends of doing
41:29
some stuff they ain't even doing.
41:30
It's like, what are you talking about?
41:31
I don't know how I don't even I don't even what I don't know
41:36
what you're talking about. How how you going to accuse me
41:40
of lying doing this and this and I weren't even in town there.
41:44
I was out of the country. They could do destroy friendship
41:48
accusations can do that so that this person then got upset
41:53
because you then lied on them. You've been doing this person
41:56
all your life because he's so paranoid.
41:59
You're walking and paranoia walking, paranoia, you walking
42:04
and you in it. You just think that even your
42:07
friends have been around you for a while trying to get you right.
42:13
The Bible has examples of healthy suspicion.
42:17
Not everyone in the scriptures trusted everyone.
42:22
Think about it. Jesus, He knew what was in man.
42:29
He put it in them. Just think about this, Peter.
42:37
Peter betrayed him 3 * 3. He knew he was going to do it.
42:45
You know what I'm saying? He knew he knew he was going to
42:48
do it. Nehemiah, he posted guards.
42:51
Joseph, he trusted it. He tested his brothers.
42:55
David avoided saw he ran from saw his whole young life, right?
43:01
Avoiding Paul would have warned the churches, and they still
43:05
ain't take heed to it. So when is cautious wisdom
43:13
instead of paranoia? When is caution wisdom instead
43:16
instead of paranoia? Caution becomes wisdom.
43:19
Caution becomes wisdom instead of paranoia when it responds to
43:25
evidence without allowing fear to write the story.
43:28
I'm going to write. Say that again.
43:30
Caution becomes wisdom instead of paranoia when it responds to
43:35
evidence without allowing fear to write the story.
43:40
You know what I'm saying? Wisdom says something doesn't
43:44
seem right. I'm going to pay attention,
43:49
gather facts and pray and respond appropriately.
43:54
Paranoia say something doesn't seem right.
43:56
So I already know what you're going to, what they're going to
43:59
do and why they're doing it right.
44:01
So wisdom is like, hey, let's just gather the facts first
44:04
before we start accusing folk, you know, stuff you know, So
44:08
don't get no defamation cases, people.
44:12
Let's start gathering the facts, pray, pay attention to what they
44:18
doing, then we're going to respond appropriately.
44:23
But if you paranoid, yeah, something don't seem right,
44:25
we're going to go ahead and automatically crucify you right
44:27
now. Like you, I know you're doing
44:29
something wrong, period, period. I know you are.
44:33
That's what paranoia does right? Biblically cautioned is
44:39
automatically fair. 5 Verse 22 and 3 says the prudent see
44:42
danger and take refuge. Jesus also told his disciples to
44:47
be wise as service and innocent as doves.
44:50
Matthew 610 and 16. Biblical wisdom recognize danger
44:56
without manufacturing danger. You know what I'm saying?
45:00
Like, let me read that again. Biblical wisdom recognizes
45:06
danger without manufacturing danger.
45:09
I'll be right back after. The stats tell that each day, 22
45:12
veterans commit suicide due to PTSD.
45:16
These stats shook us and urged us to do our part.
45:20
After hours and hours of thinking, beekeeping for
45:23
veterans was born. Beekeeping for veterans combines
45:27
beekeeping with mindfulness meditation.
45:30
Why combine them? Here's why beekeeping causes
45:34
positive rush of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
45:38
calm during it you are mindful of your movements.
45:42
Each week, a veteran will receive a mindful meditation to
45:45
build emotional and mental skill sets.
45:47
Mindfulness is a set of three attentional skills that work
45:51
together, concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity, mental
45:56
calmness, composure, evenness of temper.
45:59
Every time mindfulness is practiced, we build these
46:02
skills. Beekeeping for veterans not only
46:05
helps veterans overcome emotional trauma but also aids
46:09
our environment as without bees there is no food.
46:12
Come forward. The people who have supported
46:15
your country now need your support.

Welcome back to man talk 133, a man unite.
47:43
Thank you for joining the show tonight.
47:46
Hey, I really do appreciate it. Appreciate your opportunity,
47:52
man. Tonight, man, we're talking
47:53
about walking paranoia. Everybody that's listening to me
47:58
or going to listen to me have experienced paranoia at some
48:03
point in their life. The thing is, how do we, how do
48:09
we get past that? You know, how do we, how do we,
48:12
you know, make sure we don't take and go too far with these
48:16
things? Something, you know, they got,
48:18
they're taking, they, they, they, they go all the way with
48:21
it. You know what I'm saying?
48:21
They take it there, right? But anyway, let me finish out
48:26
this show, y'all, because I know it's Friday and I know y'all got
48:33
stuff to do. So I thank y'all for stopping
48:36
for an hour to watch me. I appreciate it, y'all.
48:39
Anyway, all right, so wisdom, wisdom notices patterns.
48:45
Paranoia creates patterns. Paranoia creates patterns where
48:49
people get up through the middle of the night, check locks, they
48:51
get up, you know, they, they get up and looking out the window,
48:55
they people, somebody walking behind me scare me.
48:58
That's what this is. What paranoia does wisdom
49:01
notice? Like, hey, they keep doing this
49:03
every day. You know this every day or watch
49:06
what they doing. Some ain't right.
49:09
Someone keep watching and keep a check on it right?
49:11
You know what I'm saying? And then after a while they
49:14
said, hey, you know what, I know what they doing.
49:17
They delivering something to the other house.
49:19
They must be delivering papers or something.
49:20
They ain't keep coming out here stalking me.
49:23
That's what that what wisdom will tell you.
49:26
Paranoia already created the pad and they ride by my house
49:29
checking out see if I'm home or not.
49:31
You know what I'm saying? So the sermon say something may
49:34
be wrong, let me test it. Paranoia Say something is wrong
49:39
and I and nothing you can tell me would change my mind.
49:44
I know something wrong up in him.
49:48
No it's not. It's just you tripping.
49:50
You know what I'm saying? That's why that's my birthday.
49:54
Thessalonians 5 and two and one says test everything, hold fast
50:00
to what is good. Passion requires us to leave
50:04
room for possibility, for the possibility that our first inter
50:10
interpretation could be wrong. The first thought about somebody
50:14
could be wrong. You see them and you'll be like,
50:19
you know what, it's some up with them.
50:23
I'm going to keep an eye on them, but some up with them I'm
50:26
near serving some up with them I'm going to keep an eye on.
50:29
And you're wrong. Ain't nothing wrong with them.
50:33
It's something wrong with you. Let's be clear about it.
50:36
Let's be clear about it. Ain't nothing wrong with
50:37
everything wrong with you. So stop it.
50:40
You know what I'm saying? So before acting on a suspicion,
50:44
use 4 questions first. These are the four questions you
50:47
need, you need to use right. What do I know?
50:51
What am I assuming? What evidence would prove me
50:55
wrong? What is the wisest response?
50:59
If I'm if I'm right anything wrong?
51:03
OK, what am I assuming? I'm assuming they following me.
51:09
Whatever it is, you got to prove them wrong.
51:11
Like have you seen them following you every day?
51:14
What's the right now? What if they are, then what
51:17
you're going to do? What's the right?
51:18
What's the wisest response? What you going to do if they are
51:21
falling? What's your response are going
51:23
to be you going to jump out of the cars and pull out a pistol?
51:26
Stop following me. What is your response going to
51:28
be? With a little paranoids.
51:30
There, you stop. You ain't paranoid.
51:33
All right, All right. So what if I'm right?
51:42
It also has had. You also have the humility to
51:46
ask what if I'm wrong? You got to have that.
51:48
So I'm wrong. Now what?
51:50
What did I do? I'm wrong.
51:52
They ain't following me, man. I apologize.
51:54
I thought you was following me. So here comes the signs that
51:58
you're walking in paranoid because we're getting close to
52:01
closing this thing out. You constantly assume motives,
52:05
you never verify facts, you isolate yourself, you replay
52:10
conversations, you cannot accept the compliments, you expect
52:17
betrayal, you become emotionally exhausted, all that stuff.
52:23
We've all experienced it at some point in our lives.
52:26
For real. You know, because you think
52:28
somebody trying to get you what you do, you isolate yourself.
52:31
I ain't going to let you get me. Not at all, not at all.
52:34
Let me tap on this social media thing real quick.
52:38
Has social media feel fueled paranoia?
52:44
You know what I'm saying? How has it?
52:47
I think it has. You know when people, people
52:49
don't follow you. No likes, no comments, delayed
52:52
text seen but no reply. Algorithms, comparisons, council
52:59
culture, conspiracy theories, all these things is on social
53:03
media that actually has caused people to be paranoid,
53:06
especially compares conspiracy theories.
53:09
Everybody got a conspiracy theory.
53:12
Not everybody. Some people have computers,
53:14
conspiracy theories and it's craziness.
53:17
Wrong, right. How we've been.
53:22
This is a this is a really good question.
53:24
I was that I saw this when I was doing my research.
53:26
This is a this is a really good question.
53:30
How we become addicted to assuming the worst.
53:36
Somebody go to the hospital, they assume they out of here.
53:41
That's the first thing I got to find.
53:42
I got to make sure they ain't going to get up out of here.
53:45
You know what I'm saying? They I got to make sure that
53:50
they ain't going to die. I mean it means they had the flu
53:53
or something. Why we got to always assume the
53:55
worst? Somebody in a car accident and
53:58
they can't get no information right then they freak out.
54:02
Paranoia has set in and made them feel like because we didn't
54:09
got addicted to assuming the worst instead of seeking God to
54:14
assume the best to get the best with response.
54:17
That's what we should be doing, right?
54:20
Before I get out of here, how do we defeat paranoia naturally?
54:27
First, we got to get some sleep, y'all, And sleep deprivation
54:31
deprivation is a real thing. We got to get some sleep.
54:35
We got to exercise. I know we don't want to.
54:38
I know y'all don't want to, because I do.
54:42
Got to exercise, got to pray, got to have a community around
54:47
you. You got to, if you have an
54:48
issue, real severe issues like that, you got to get cancelled.
54:52
You got a journal, write your stuff down.
54:54
Make sure you make sure you keep a journal of the events that's
55:04
going on so you know what's going on where you having
55:06
progress or not. We have no progress.
55:10
Go ahead and see your counseling.
55:11
We haven't progressed and you write yourself down.
55:13
You'll be you'll be good right truth checking check the truth,
55:18
make sure it's the truth. Healthy communication Ask
55:21
instead of assuming. Let me just go ahead and ask and
55:25
see. Make sure that you know they you
55:29
know they make sure that they what they saying is right and
55:35
make sure I heard it right. I spiritual weapons.
55:40
You got prayer, fasting, reading the Bible, worship, wise
55:45
counsel, confession, repentance, forgiveness, renewing your mind.
55:49
Romans 12 and verse 2. You should use this.
55:55
What you should do according to 2nd 2nd Corinthians 10, take
56:01
every thought captive. Every thought captive.
56:05
You got to, you got to, you got to do that.
56:08
And you know, I've said this one time before, man, and I have
56:12
been trying to put this let me see if I can find it again.
56:19
Y'all sweat this? I was it's a scripture that
56:23
talks about journaling, right? And I said one time that I was
56:28
going to read it on the show. And every time I was I'm gonna
56:31
read this thing on the show. Guess what?
56:33
I can't never find this scripture until my every time
56:38
I'm I'll be looking for it and I cannot find it.
56:43
And so this time tonight, before I get off this show, I'm going
56:46
to read this scripture about, about journaling.
56:51
It's a, it's a real scripture in there about journaling, y'all.
56:54
And, and I think this, I can't, you know what?
56:57
I'm going to find the scripture for y'all because I keep trying
57:02
to tell y'all. I keep telling y'all.
57:03
This is it right here, Jeremiah 36 and verse 2.
57:08
Take thee A roll of a book and write therein all the words that
57:14
I have spoken unto thee against Israel and against Judah and
57:19
against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from
57:23
the days of Josiah, even to this day.
57:26
That's journaling. Just like with us, we journal
57:29
like, you know, people write stuff down, they write
57:32
everything down. So listen, before I get out of
57:35
