  Speaker 2: What's been going on with you? Desira, tell Us, tell us,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: tell us, tell us.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm just flowing with the Lord. Yeah, you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: like every day it's been so interesting here, especially this
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: past week where I've had opportunities to that I need
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: to get things done, but it really felt like the
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit was like, Nope, just sit there, Just sit
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: there and risk because you don't know how to sit down.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: This is correct.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: And so you know, I'm trying to just take every
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: day as every day it's supposed to be and just
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: trust that the things that need to get done will
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: get done and those that don't need to get done
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: to get done whenever they're supposed to get done. You
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: know how interesting it is that I don't know if
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: you deal with this, but when I supposed to be resting,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: like oh my gosh, I feel guilty for resting. But
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: then when I'm not supposed to be resting, I have
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: like this major anxiety, like it's my anxiety beyond ten.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Like oh my gosh, I can't believe I have.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Something to get done and I really need to get done,
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: and maybe am I good enough to get it done? Well?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Oh all the thoughts, all the things, all the thoughts,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: all the things, And so I think it's I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: it's it's so important to lean into Holy Spirit and
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: know the timing, like there's a time in Ecclesiastics. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: really important to understand there is a time for this,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: and it's a time for that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Where am I? Where am I in time? The time?
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: And the only way we know where we are is
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: what through Holy Spirit. Which I'm so excited about today's
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: conversation because I don't know if I told you this
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: or not, but I am doing this Bible Plan currently,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: and the Bible Plan is talking of about basically the
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: the the responsibilities of Holy Spirit, who Holy Spirit is,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: way he does, how he shows up right. And the
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: devotionals are really not long, right, And so I've had
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: to like palls on this because I've gone into a
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: deep deeper study in some of these devotionals and I
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: was like, it looked like I'm skipping the day Bible out,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: but I'm not.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm elongating the devotional. It's it's really it's really giving
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: me life right now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: And so let me see what this devotional called specifically,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: just in case y'all want to, and I'll make suy'all
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: we link it, y'all get on desert. If if it's
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: not a link that description, y'all need to start calling
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: blame it own. DESI Ray Dance my fault. But the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: but the the Bible Plan is called the Ministry of
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit. It's by someone called Julie Gossick. Is g
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: o s it's a c k Okay, we'll make sure
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: we put the link. And so on day eight. Day
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: eight is about uh, the Holy Spirit convicts, right? And
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I thought that was so interesting because we talk about.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: How holy is he, how machic he is holy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: And he cut throat, and the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: is cutthrow And I think that when we think about
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit, our original idea of Holy Spirit isn't that
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: we would experience uncomfort uncomfort with Holy Spirit because Holy
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Spirit is what a counselor. We were introduced to him
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: first as a counselor. But my counselor convict me.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know about y'all. Does a rate when you
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: when you found out the Holy Spirit convicts?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: What?
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: What hasn't been an experience that you have had the
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit convicted you?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And how did you respond of that?
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: You know? The funny thing is it's not even like
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the big things.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It's the it's the it's the little thing you're talking.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I like, you know, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I'm trying.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I have been.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: What's the word. I try not to use curse words
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: and things. You know, the delivery deliverance is still taking forth,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: but it ain't like you don't be like just be like, oh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: but anyway, So let's say we drive driving if somebody
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: do something that's that's not very nice when they drive,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: and I'll be like, your ugly self, and then I'd
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: be like, no, that I know, Holy Spirit, they're not ugly.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: That's your child's scream. That's your child.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: They're not ugly.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't even know the person. They are
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: fearfully and wonderfully made in the eyes of the Lord.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You say ugly, though, I do. I do.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I do I old ugly self, that what I say,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And then I be like, they're not ugly.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: If ugly is a cussword, then I might be headed
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to hell because.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm still that's my substitution, that's your substitution, your mouth.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I'm still finding my substitution right Shout out to my
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: our recover and bring on a hearted baby. She I
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: was talking to her, and I wasn't definitely in friend
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: mode when I was talking to her, and one of
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: them things slipped out, and I guess a couple of
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: them slipped out, and she stopped me. She said, when
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: you start that cussing, Oh, I knew. I knew it
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: wasn't friend no more, I knew it. I knew who
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: were I talking about? The prophet was coming out okay.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: And that's also Holy Spirit helps you not only distinguish
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: the times, but Holy Spirit helps you distinguish who you're
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: talking to. I could be in one person. Desiree has
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: seen it most of the time. I could be with Desiree, friendly,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: da da, and then some shift and she'd be like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: she gets quiet. I've really realized that you get quiet.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And so the Holy convicts.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Really, we really don't need to understand what conviction is
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: and what it's not right, because the enemy will try
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: to make us feel like that because you're being convicted.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: There's no good in you. There's no no room for growth.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: If I watch this, if the Holy Spirit doesn't love you, well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: didn't love you, he wouldn't convict you. I was just
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: gonna say, it's not that there's not anything good.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There is because it is good, and I'm trying to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: get it out. Come on, I'm trying to get out.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So let me read this part of the devotion that
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: that got me, and I promise you like it's so simple.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: It's so simple. It says, the Holy Spirit convicts. The
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit reproves mankind of his unbelief. He reveals the
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: ways in which man has wronged God and departed from
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: his truth. He attests that mankind is deserving of eternal
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: judgment by a just and righteous goes. So the first
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: the first sentence of that is the Holy Spirit reproves
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: mankind of his unbelief?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Why is that so important? Why is that so important?
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: It's important because can you look up the word reproveing? Now, okay,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: thank you.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It's so important because.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: When you think about unbelief, that means that something does
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: not resonate with you. That means that that you are
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: that you are not in agreement. You're not in agreement
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: with these things. And so I want us to really
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: understand that conviction actually helps our unbelief. The question is
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: how do I help my unbelief? Conviction me getting convicted
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: of something, and me being conviction makes me aware, right,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Conviction brings stuff to light. So without conviction, you stay
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: in darkness, Thank your Holy Spirit. Reproof to reprove means
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: to scald, rebuke, or express disapproval of someone's behavior, typically
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: with a gentle corrective or kindly or kindly intent, rather
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: than with harsh condemnation. And this is where, okay, that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: where I got the word condemnation from, because it's like, okay,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: if if they say without condemnation, why isn't conviction and
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: condemnation the same thing? And we're gonna walk this thing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know how long this one's gonna be, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: we're gonna walk this thing out because I think what
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: the enemy is trying to do, even like tries to
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: do continuously with us, is try to condemn us for
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: what we experience conviction for. And like we we God
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: is not a god of condemnation.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Right, We're gonna get to that. I think I'm moving
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit fast.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: So it's John sixteen eight John sixteen, starting the eighth verse.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna read the Christian Standard version. If y'all haven't
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: been here, and y'all don't realize that we don't really
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: do the King James New King James version whatever.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: When we need to, we will, but just go ahead
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and get them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, So John sixteen, the eighth verse, okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: it says, and I'm reading eight through eleven, it says,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: when he comes, he being Holy Spirit. When he comes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: he will convict the world about seining, righteousness, and judgment.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Let me pause right there. So basically the first the
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: first thing we were seeing here off rip this is a.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: This is a.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Scripture, a chapter that explains the purpose of Holy Spirit,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: right this chapter. So read the four chapter of sixteen.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: But we're only taking bits and pieces out today. This
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: chapter understand makes it helps you understand the purpose of
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit. And the reason why we're not seeing certain
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: things move or having levels of understanding is because we
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: don't do relationship with Holy Spirit. Why don't we do
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: relationship with Holy Spirit because we don't understand the purpose
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: of Holy Spirit. And so literally this chapter it tells
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: you the purpose of Holy Spirit, why Holy Spirit is
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: was left with us, and how he moves. Okay, And
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: in verse a he says, when he comes, he will
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment. Now verse
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: nine says about sin because they do not believe in me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: About righteousness because I am going to the Father, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: you will no longer see me and about judgment, because
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: the ruler of this world has been judged, all right,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: So as we as we walk through this, we have
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: to understand that these three things, what is that sin, righteousness,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: and judgment.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: He's coming for all of that right.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: And I love how it even puts it in the
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: order does a ray where I'm convict you of your
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: sin right, And when you're convicted of your sin, it
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: leads to righteousness, and righteousness gives you what righteous judgment.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And so I'd rather be judged in heaven than go
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: ahead and be judged in here. You give what I'm saying.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: And so I think that when we understand that the
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit convicts us, it's actually a gift. When we
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: think about it, it's a gift for our future. It's
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: a gift so that we can meet the promises of God.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Right. Conviction helps us remain in alignment.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Oh this is good, I'm thinking about I've been kind
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: of slow walking through romans a little bit.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, you're getting them walking through.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: And what's coming up now. Why we need conviction is
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: because before before the law came right because of the fall,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: you know, Adam and Eve sin which introduced sin into
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: the world.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: So people just living and doing what they thought was
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: just regular that they were just living life regularly.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: So as the law came, the law begin to show
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: them that what they're doing is actually harmful against themselves
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: and towards the Lord.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: So, hey, this is sin because X, y, and z,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: and it also separates you from me the Father.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: So what conviction does is it begins it should turn
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: our heart towards the sin and re and and and
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: and lead us to repentance, right to get us back
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: to the right standings, the righteousness of the Lord. So
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: without conviction, we don't ain't gonna say we don't know.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: But it's like a a unknowing in a sense, like
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. It's like like like if
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: I am accustomed to doing something right like a baby,
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: like a baby just they just following around. They just
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: trying to, you know, figure life out that or not.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: If you don't say, hey, this is hot, yeah, right,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: then you haven't not quite set them. Now you're setting
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: the boundaries up for what their safety is, right, right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: If you say, hey, don't walk down, don't go down,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: these stairs, right, they may not unders so we put
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: guardrails at the stairs when they walk down the stairs.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: So what the conviction is? They be like, ah, I remember.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: This is hot. Yeah, come on, you know what I'm saying, Oh,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: this is there.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not supposed to go down there. But that's what
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: the conviction does for us. It helps gives us these
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: safety boundaries so that now we can choose, we can
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: choose to do the right thing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's so.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: I love how you use the analogy of a baby, right,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: because we are sons and daughters of Christ. And so
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: if we are sons and daughters, the conviction is different,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: you wonder, and we sometimes we want to be like, well, Lord,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: how do they get to do it and I don't
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: get to do it. It's because you are a son,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: you are a daughter. And what happens in our household
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: and is allowed in our household, which is the Kingdom household,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: it looks different. And so if I'm in proximity with
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit, that means I feel I feel more responsibility
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: to navigate as the Father wants me to know navigate.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: And so, like you said that, there's boundaries and so
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I can't worry about what the other children are doing
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: who do not claim to be followers of Jesus Christ.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That's not my responsibility. Now. My responsibility is to.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Love them and to show them, you know, the love
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: of the Lord, and be a representation. But there's certain
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: things that I can't do. Like I was telling someone
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: something I don't do, and I just I won't say
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: say that, just because I just had to think about that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: But there's certain things I won't do before recording. There's
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: certain things I won't digest before recording. There's certain moves
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I will make. And I'll just say this because this
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: has been said before. At podcast summit, right, I've been
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: a podcast summit every year. If you don't know what
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: that is, a bunch of creators come together under the
• 15:45

• 15:50
  Speaker 5: get all the knowledge we need to make sure that

• 16:01
  Speaker 2: very first podcast summit, at my very first podcast summit,
• 16:06

• 16:08

  Speaker 5: Only you, and it was you and Greg that knew
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: that I was going down there understood, and I got
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: all this knowledge. But before people were trying to link
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: up and network or whatever. So I found out where
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: a certain group of people were looking up and I
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: met Cookie. Cookie is a podcast out of Talent. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: think it's Dallas, Texas, I think. And so I met
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: heard some other people and they you know, they were eating,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: they were drinking all stuff like that, and I was like,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: give me, give me water with lemon, please, water with
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: lemon please. Everywhere I went, water with lemon please. You
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: get what I'm saying. I'm not here for that. I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: not here for that. And I didn't know that that
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: stuck out to Cookie until she came to the podcast
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. She was like, Oh, yeah, Jessica,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: you don't play no games. I didn't even think you
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: you drink.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I spur you know, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: can drink a little wine all and stuff like that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: But but I also went through a year where the
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Lord said, no, You're not doing this this year. You
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: get what I'm saying. So I had so I had
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: control over it. My conviction was different. Now, my conviction
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: is not, oh, don't drink. My conviction is don't be
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: doing it and you gotta you have to. You're you
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: are the representation for in this space, for these people, right,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: And so I didn't think it mattered. But I didn't
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: think that was something that people were paying attention to.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: And when Cookie said, hey, Jessica, I noticed that you
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: weren't drinking, and I like, people really pay attention to that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the conviction is not necessary, ooh, this is so good.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the conviction is not about you. The convictions about
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: your witness and what people will see. Because if you
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: go in certain territories, they might be struggling, they might
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: be trying to navigate where they are with Christ.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: And you all here talk about why I'm not convicted
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: by that. But in that moment, God is probably trying
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: to get your teachers like, hey, it's a scripture that talks.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: About say, it's a scripture that said like even if
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: it's I'm paraphrase Parra, even if it may not be
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: a conviction for you, if you're in a space where
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: a brother or sister is there and it's something that
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: they're dealing with it's better to not do it so
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: that you help keep them from fault. Yes, and that's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: not that's not the burbatim on the world. But that's
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: pretty much just of what it's saying. Because what did
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: God asks homeboy that killed his brother? He said no,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: The guy said, am I my brother's keeper? And it's like,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: but why aren't you your brother's keeper? We try, we
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: try to push the responsibility on like others, but some
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: people are just not strong enough to see you do
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: it and not do it themselves. You get what I'm saying.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: And so if we are kingdom, if we are kingdom builders,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: we're not just convicted victed for ourselves. We also have
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: the responsibility of others convictions and to manage that because
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: as a kingdom kid, as a kingdom citizen, you just
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: carry a different level of authority and anointing that you
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: may not necessarily recognize, but other people do so, like
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you have such a higher level of influence than probably
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: sometimes in what we realize when we step into spaces,
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: like people are watching you know what I'm saying, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: we don't realize how closely people watch it sometimes until
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: somebody say something, until they say, but we have such
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a great influence and annointy. It may look different. It
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: may not look like, oh I got a million followers,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: but you walk into the gas station and somebody may
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: recognize something on you or the way you carry yourself
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: in a group of people.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's still an influence, right, you know what I'm
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: saying right now?
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: That's so good. So let's be clear about what conviction is.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: The whole conviction is the Holy Spirit's inner prompting that
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: exposes sin, corrects and God's believers toward righteousness, acting as
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: a gift of love or restoration, rather than condemnation. Right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: So that's where that we see again that they are
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: saying rather than condemnation. That means conviction is not the
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: same as condemnation. Conviction is not the same as combination.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: And I love that we've been in John a past
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: couple of times that me and Desiree have been by self.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: So if you, if you, if you scroll on over
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: to John three. John three sixteen is a beautiful passage.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: We all know it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: For those that you know are in this line of faith,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: that you don't know it, it's okay if you don't know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: We gonna learn it today. Okay.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: So with that said, John three sixteen, I'm reading from
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: the Christian Standard version, and it reads, for God loved
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: the world. Wait up, For God loved the world in
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: this way He gave his only and one and only son,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: so that everyone who believes in him will not perish
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: but have eternal life. For God did not send his
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: son into the world to condemn the world, but to
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: is not condemned. But anyone who does not believe in
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: believe is already condemned because he has not believed in
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: the name of the one and only Son of God.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Sometimes we gotta go beyond three sixteen because now I'm thinking,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: you can't think that condemnation is not real. I'm not
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: telling you that condemnation is not real. I'm telling you
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: that condemnation does not belong to people that believe in
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Jesus Christ Christ.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: The only way you're not condemned is through your belief.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, and what you believe in will convict you to
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: walk in your belief. Yes. I hope y'all understand what
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: we're saying, because what the ending will try to do
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: is let you only read because he knows scripture too.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: He will limit you to only read John three sixteen
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: and say, you know what, the Lord didn't come to
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: condemn the world.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't. And that's fact.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Also and also and he has this has to be
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: said because he saved the world through him. Anyone who believes, says,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: anyone who believes in him is not condemned.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: So to not be to not experience condemnation, you must
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: what believe in Jesus. Believe in Jesus.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Christ, who God said, who is the son, who is
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: the holy One. Jesus also is the one that had
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: to move out the way, so that what Holy Spirit
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: can It all works together.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: That's why we're going through different scriptures.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: That's why we're navigating through different things, because what the
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: enemy would do is limit you to these famous scriptures
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: and used to experience no no conviction. You still stuck
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: in the condemnation because you you you have limited your
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: belief in God. You have limited you have a limited belief.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: And and what I'm learning is we read Psalm's one
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: when in safe space, we're reading Psalms and the first
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: the first chapter talks about two ways this that this
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: or that, okay, this, and then it tells us the
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: reason why we have to read meditator on the word
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: that or not, because we got to stay on the
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: righteous path of God.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Because it's so.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Easy, it's so easy to trick ourselves into a believing
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: that the other side is okay. Anything outside of God
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: and his permissive his permission, you get what I'm saying,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: anything that's outside of God's standard. I think we got
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to get back to appreciating the standard of God.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: What keeps me in the standard of God. Conviction and
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: this is not it's not a mean thing. And so
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: let's get into it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Let's what is condemnation, because this is what condemnation conviction Two.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Different things can feel the same. Now, it can definitely
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: feel the same, but.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Especially I would say it feels the same when you
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: don't understand what they the two things are, okay, So condemnation,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: to condemn is to declare someone guilty past sentence or
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: expressed strong disapproval, often focusing on the judgment for sin.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: So example, condemnation with sa W would look like this,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I commit, I commit going back to the adulterous woman
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: or the woman who committed adulter in the in the Bible,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: condemnation looked like the people that were ready to stone her. Right,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: the law says that I I we need to stone her.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: She is she not only needs to be judged, but
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: she needs to be put to death because of what
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: she did.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: That's condemnation.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: But conviction looks like hold up, y'all, move out the way,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: let me deal with this. Darted one on one and
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: moves everything out of the way, tells you, hey, what do
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: you see here?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: What was the problem this? You know this is not right?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Go and say no.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: More So the the conviction addresses you for the moment.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: It does not condemn you for the lifetime. It's good.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It makes you aware of what happened.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: It does not keep you ignorant from the wrong, but
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: it promotes you and pushes you to remove yourself from wrongdoing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: And so I think that sometimes because we marry, remember
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: we talked about shame, we married the thing that made
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: us shameful. Right, This is why the voice is so
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: important of divorce and shame, the voice of what you did,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: divorce and sin right, cleansing and purifying yourself and your
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: thoughts in mind every single day. This is important because
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: condemnation can take you out. You can be condemning yourself.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I know about it. You can be condemning yourself into
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: hell and the Lord is like, hey, come, come, come here.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: I'm not even trying to You're doing the most. When
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: the Lord is telling you you're doing the most, it's
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: you might be doing the most.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: You might be doing the most.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: When you said condemnation and can look the same, you
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: said why. You said why they can look the same?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I said why they could look the same because you
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: haven't basically the the idea of it feeling the same.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: It's based on your relationship with the Lord. Yeah, that's
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: what That's what That's what came up. It's also your
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: relationship and your identity, you know, knowing your identity in Christ,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: because it's all in Christ. We can't do none of
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: it on our own.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Shay.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: First off, it's in Christ.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: It's in Christ.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: So knowing your identity in Christ, in your relationship with
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: the Lord, you know that that that condemnation, yes, it
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: is there. It's a real it's a real thing. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: in Christ, as you believe in Christ, that we aren't condemned,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: we're just convicted.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: And the thing about the conviction is I think there's
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: a there's a step underneath that, which is the repentance
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: of it. Come on, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: convicted of the thing once you repent, repenting is just
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: you know, Lord, I'm sorry. You know I did do
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: the thing. Like it's not trying to say that I
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: did it. Yeah, I did it, and you know, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: now I am turning away from it and go sin.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: That's why he said go sit no more. That's that's
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: the repentance of it. Like, Hey, you did this thing,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: but you're forgiving. You're not. You're not being condemned of
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: this thing. I forgive you. Just don't do just don't
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: do it again. Just don't do it again. And even
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: even what you were saying right there about let me
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: not move too fast, hold up, let me go to
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: the scripture to support what you just said, because you
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: just said you was in Romans. So Romans eight started
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: at the first verse. It says, therefore, there is now
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: of the of the Spirit of life, and Christ Jesus
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: has set set you free from the law and sin
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and sining of and death. For what the law could
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: not do since it was weakened by the flesh. God
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: did he condemned sin?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Why that's so good.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sinful offering,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: of sin offering in order that the law's requirement would
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: be fulfilled.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And with us who.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Do not walk accordingly according to the flesh, but according
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: to the spirit. For those who live according to the
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: flesh have their mindset on things of the flesh, but
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: those who live according to the spirit have their mindset
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: on things of the spirit. Okay, And so I love
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: that part where he says when it says he condemned,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: he condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: son in the likeness of and the likeness of sinful
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: flesh as a sin offering. And so what that tells
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: me is the only thing that should feel that should
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: experience condemnation is the sin itself. Right, he came to
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: like cast judgment on the thing, not you. I think
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: that like when we understand that, and that that's what
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: that says to me. I'm not casting judgment on you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: I'm casting judgment on the thing, because the thing can
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: come off you like when God says he purifies you, dress,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: you reclothe, you rewrope like it's a literal thing. When
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Lazarus was was dead, right when Lazarus was dead and
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: they and and he came out, the first thing the
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Lord instructed them to do was to change his clothes
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: because he wasn't the same person. They wrapped him and
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: and and and grave clothing. There was a practice to
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: wrap him in grave clothing. Think about it as sin.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: That's why people you'll see people changing how they how
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: they dress, what they wear.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not saying that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: You know, some of these people like are going to
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: hell for some of the things that they're doing. Their
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: conviction has said, you know, I just I just can't
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: look like this anymore. I just can't be outside like
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: this anymore.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: It's certain things I'd be like, ugh, I can't what
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: it is. I can't do this because my witness is
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: that I'm a believer. They know me as a church lady.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: You get what I'm saying. And so when he says
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Lazarus come out, he says daughter come out. He has
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: son come out. Does a ray come out just to
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: come out. I'm not gonna come out. I'm gonna come
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: out in the grave clothes. But you're gonna have to.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be a changing. Hey, go change his clothes,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Go change your clothes. Go do this, Go do this,
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: because now we can throw the sin away and work
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: on maturing and getting you to the place that God
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: wants you to be. The promises of God are yes,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: and they man for the people that the promises of
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: God are yes and they man for. Don't expect the
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: promises of God if you don't want to, if you
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: are unwilling to be convicted by the Holy Spirit. We
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: need to be convicted into the promises of God.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: We need to be convicted into the love of God.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: We need to be convicted.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Conviction is a tool not to destroy us, but to
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: promote us.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Y'all, come on today.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Conviction is not here to destroy us. It's here to
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: promote us. Because watch this. The version of you that
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: was dead, the version of you that didn't understand the
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: love of God, the version of you could not manage
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: the promise of God. That promise of God is too
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: great for you to He is not about to sit
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: here and pimp himself out just to make you feel good.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: This is not that. This is not that. And sometimes
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I think that we.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Think that the Holy Spirit has come to play paddy
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Cake and Beggar's Man with us. That's not it, that's
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: not it. We say we want the promise of God.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: We say we want experience the Lord on new levels.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: We say we want to do this. Then allow the
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Holy Spirit to convict you. And watch this. When he
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: convicts you, how will your response be?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Would? What is your response?
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: So?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Watch this? Does a rab.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: I want to answer the question why I feel condemn Right?
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Why do I feel condemned?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe you feel.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Condemned because you just didn't know that it was only
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: it was only your responsibility to accept the Lord, the
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Lord as your savior, Jesus Christ.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Right, let's call salvation entering salvation.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Right, But then once you start walking the process of salvation,
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: you'll start experiencing things, and it's your responsibility to reject
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: what God reject what God rejects. Right, you're experiencing condemnation because,
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: like we've said before, you you're doing relationship, more relationship
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: with the sin than relationship with God.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: What's the difference between being condemned and being convicted is
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: relationship and then the depths of relationship. There is into
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: the deep Like that's what I think about that phrase.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Into the deep. God gives us room to just grow
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: and flourish in Him, but sometimes we step out of
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: Him to where And I tell you the truth, it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: some Christians that's feeling condemned right now. It's some people
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: that say they believe in God and have seen the
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: hand of the Lord that's experiencing condemnation because they step
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: outside the standards of God. Sorry, not sorry, Sorry not sorry,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: because because they're safety in conviction. There's instruction with conviction.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Condemnation don't provide you instruction comedim nations just say hey,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: you did wrong, look at what you did. It makes
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: you feel bad, it makes you experience the bad thing.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: But when you're in God and say hey, I know
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: you did that, but go and send no more.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I know you did that, but I'm here to help
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: you move forward and do X, Y and Z, that's
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: what condemnation is.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Watch this relationships. Relationship includes love. Love leads to obedience.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Obedience strengthens your belief the reason why you don't understand
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: conviction is because you don't have relationship. And when you
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: don't have a relationship, you don't experience the love of God.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: When you don't experience the love of God, you don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: have a willingness to obey. And because you don't know
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: how tobay obey, you never get to experience the belief.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: You never get to experience and see why people believe.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: And so I'm I'm encouraging you guys to.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Understand the difference and and really give you yourselves an
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: opportunity to love God and allow God to love you.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: And with that love comes Holy Spirit with his conviction.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: It might be something small like, hey, don't eat that
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: chocolate bar. Don't but I disobey that conviction all the.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Time, all the time, all the time, all the time.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Chocolate for me. No, it's not. It's Edgars, y'all. If
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: y'all don't, if y'all ever come to Birmingham, Alabama area,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: go to Edgars.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, they're not paying me to say this. They just
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: they just have the anointing of the Holy Spirit in them.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Ca Okay, they are a thriving company, a bakery company.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: They're anointing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: They got desserts, cookie cakes, Crak's piet, But anyway, I'll
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: be convicted.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Of not eating turtles.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like does a ray said
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: at the beginning, no matter how small the conviction, it's
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: still it's to help the greater good, which is that
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: you being the greater good or the earth on your people.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: That God is trying to get you attached to your assignment,
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: that being the greater good. One thing that came up
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: through this conversation as we talked about the Holy Spirit convicting,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: one of the best ways for one of the areas
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: that he convicts us in is in the area of forgiveness, right,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: And we tend sometimes not to obey that conviction because
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: we were wronged, right, And He understands that, yes, you
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: were wronged, Yes something bad happened to you. Yes they
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: shouldn't have done X, Y, and Z, But the forgiveness
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: isn't for them. The conviction to forgive is really for you,
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: because what begins to happen as you don't forgive those Literally,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: He's not gonna forgive us. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: we want the Lord to forgive us. We want to
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: walk into blessings and all these things. The Bible says,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: forgive others as I have forgiven you, and unforgiveness. When
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: we begin to walk in unforgiveness, it's just a domino effect,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Like we're wondering why so many people are walking around
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: with sicknesses, illnesses, diseases. You know what I'm saying. Some
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: of this is spiritual, lot of spiritual. So that conviction
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: of the Holy Spirit. Yes, yes, he knows what happened, right,
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: but also he loves us enough to try to help
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: us help ourselves. And we just have to believe, like
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: like when you say vengeance, shelled me mind, Like.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: People can't do.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: People think that they can do what they want to
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: people and and nothing's gonna happen. The Lord is a
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: reward of all things. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: And so that's the biggest thing. Like when you when
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: you feel that conviction and for forgiving, saying I forgave,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: but I'm not going to forget. That's not full forgiveness.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: A lot of us say those say it because we
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: it's not a full release, you know what I'm saying.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: So that's the biggest thing that I think that keeps us, stuck, stagnant, delayed.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: Is the spirit of unforgiveness. Yeah, so Holy Spirit is
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: definitely a convictor of all. I just don't eat that.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Don't say that, but forgive, but forgive I agree. I
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: agree with you on that.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Does a ray? I agree with you on that.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: And with that being noted, if there's a convision to forgive,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: you might want to forgive them. So because what you
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: don't know what the Lord is trying to not just
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: do with your heart, but with others hearts. And so listen,
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: if this register resonated with you, if you like Dog Jessica,
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: does a ray like Adam, I am living in condemnation.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Listen you free from that. Just believe your freedom, your belief.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Here she is talking and she is not on my spirit.
• 38:43
