Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Castleberry, Florida. This is
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost, let's
- 0:07Speaker 1: get into prayer. Lord, Father, that arts in heaven, I
- 0:09Speaker 1: come to you in prayer to be able to have
- 0:11Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this mic,
- 0:13Speaker 1: go through the listener's ears, and be able to reach
- 0:16Speaker 1: their hearts and minds, and.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Be able to apply these verses to their lives.
- 0:20Speaker 3: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
- 0:24Speaker 1: So, tonight I'm kind of doing the on-the-go... again for
- 0:29Speaker 1: this episode. I tend to see it as a form
- 0:32Speaker 1: of meditation for me and my circumstances.
- 0:36Speaker 3: I love being.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Able to do these episodes to give glory to God
- 0:40Speaker 1: and also to be able to learn the verses and
- 0:43Speaker 1: be able.
- 0:44Speaker 3: To apply them to not.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Only my life or your life or being able to
- 0:51Speaker 1: do God's will is a thrill. And the more and
- 0:57Speaker 1: more that I continue to dive deeper, the more and
- 1:01Speaker 1: more I realize how much I should have been doing
- 1:04Speaker 1: this a long time ago. But you'll hear a lot
- 1:07Speaker 1: of people say, oh, I should have done this a
- 1:09Speaker 1: long time ago, even myself, right?
- 1:13Speaker 3: But there's no better time than now.
- 1:17Speaker 1: The past can still hinder on us. The future is
- 1:22Speaker 1: definitely doesn't even exist. The only thing that you can
- 1:28Speaker 1: really control is what happens right now. In this time
- 1:34Speaker 1: that you're listening to this episode. I hope that you
- 1:36Speaker 1: thoroughly listen through.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Because I am.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Not only a believer but a follower in Christ. So
- 1:45Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit not only will the verses speak to you.
- 1:51Speaker 1: But the Spirit will speak to you.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Amen.
- 1:54Speaker 1: So I'm going to just go. off of kind of
- 1:59Speaker 1: winging it, right? With an angel wing, though. And I
- 2:03Speaker 1: say that with all respect to anybody that may be
- 2:07Speaker 1: listening that has not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord
- 2:10Speaker 1: and Savior. Everybody was once there. Even those that might
- 2:17Speaker 1: even seem like they got it going on spiritually. So, anyways,
- 2:22Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter 4, Verse 23, and it states, be very
- 2:29Speaker 1: careful to keep your mind safe. The thoughts that you
- 2:33Speaker 1: think make you the person that you are. So how
- 2:38Speaker 1: do we apply this verse to our lives? Realizing that
- 2:44Speaker 1: our thoughts become who we are. The Bible says itself,
- 2:50Speaker 1: do not lean on your own understanding.
- 2:55Speaker 3: And it also says, be careful. These thoughts that.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Sometimes we don't have control over. Now, everybody's situation is different.
- 3:07Speaker 1: There's some people that are smarter than others. And there's
- 3:09Speaker 1: some people that have disorders. And there's some people, I mean,
- 3:14Speaker 1: we can keep going down the list. But we're all imperfectly,
- 3:19Speaker 1: we are all perfectly imperfect people.
- 3:22Speaker 3: There's something about you that you carry. Hold on one second.
- 3:26Speaker 3: There's something that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: You carry that I don't carry. There's something that I
- 3:32Speaker 1: carry that you don't carry. But we all have the ability.
- 3:37Speaker 1: We all have the choice to make to allow the
- 3:40Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to live in us. The only Spirit that
- 3:43Speaker 1: can truly guide you. Not only just to heaven, but
- 3:48Speaker 1: to prosper here on earth. To be able to do
- 3:52Speaker 1: God's will. The message is the mission. It's just putting
- 3:56Speaker 1: yourself in a position to be able to spread the
- 4:00Speaker 1: gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 4:03Speaker 3: And having the Holy Spirit ring in your life. The
- 4:07Speaker 3: Spirit is speaking.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I cannot take credit for this, even though this is
- 4:11Speaker 1: my platform. This is my show. But I do not
- 4:15Speaker 1: run it. 100%. And I've got to give glory to God.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I've got to give glory to Jesus and allow the
- 4:21Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to speak. Proverbs is a great gospel to
- 4:26Speaker 1: read and to study. So with that being said, we're
- 4:30Speaker 1: going to go back into Proverbs. Because that was in
- 4:34Speaker 1: the Bible app as the verse of the day.
- 4:38Speaker 3: So we're going to go into... What.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Did we have? Proverbs chapter 4. That's what I thought
- 4:44Speaker 1: it was. Let's jump back into it. Because obviously... It
- 4:49Speaker 1: is really a great gospel.
- 4:54Speaker 3: And I want to go here.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I want to go to 4. And let's get into
- 5:00Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter 4 still as the verse of the day.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Verse 11. I am teaching you to be wise so
- 5:10Speaker 1: that you will know the right way to live. As
- 5:13Speaker 1: you walk through life, nothing will stop you. Even When
- 5:18Speaker 1: you run, you will not fall. Keep hold of my teaching.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Do not forget it. Keep it safe because it will
- 5:27Speaker 1: give you a good life.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Let's go deeper.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Do not join with wicked or evil people. Do not,
- 5:39Speaker 1: do not do the things that they do.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Keep away from them.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Be sure to keep your own good way of life
- 5:48Speaker 1: Wicked people have to do evil things. They cannot go
- 5:52Speaker 1: to sleep unless they have been cruel to somebody that day.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Evil acts are their food. Violence is their drink. The
- 6:02Speaker 1: life of the righteous people is like the sun at dawn.
- 6:05Speaker 1: It gets brighter and brighter until midday. But the life
- 6:10Speaker 1: of wicked people is like.
- 6:11Speaker 3: A very dark road.
- 6:13Speaker 1: They cannot even see what causes them to fall. And
- 6:20Speaker 1: don't we all fall short of God's standards of living?
- 6:26Speaker 1: There is no difference between me and someone else that
- 6:34Speaker 1: has a big community that follows them. Whether they're a pastor,
- 6:42Speaker 1: whether they're a priest, whether they're a Bible study expert,
- 6:48Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. We all are one in
- 6:52Speaker 1: Christ when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Not only that, but we also have this fellowship. For
- 7:04Speaker 1: when there are more than two that are gathered in his.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Name, he is present. He is present. He picked 12 disciples.
- 7:17Speaker 3: But here's the kicker.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Those 12 disciples did greater things than even Jesus did.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And it does not get too speaked about because of
- 7:27Speaker 1: the glory of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
- 7:32Speaker 2: We cannot boast in our good deeds.
- 7:34Speaker 1: We cannot boast in what it is that we do
- 7:38Speaker 1: great because we do not have....
- 7:44Speaker 3: Let me rephrase this.
- 7:46Speaker 1: We have the authority, but the authority is not ours.
- 7:52Speaker 3: It's borrowed. Can I preach a little bit? Can I
- 7:56Speaker 3: preach just a little bit?
- 8:01Speaker 1: Looking back on my life and realizing that I have
- 8:06Speaker 1: lived wrong majority of it and seeing bad examples.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I went through all of that experiences to get on
- 8:18Speaker 1: the other side of it and realize.
- 8:24Speaker 3: That I.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Am now chosen after over 20 years of believing. And
- 8:32Speaker 1: that's because, no, no, no, don't get it twisted. It's
- 8:36Speaker 1: not because God chose me.
- 8:40Speaker 2: He made me. But I am chosen.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Take out the in on chosen because I chose to
- 8:49Speaker 1: finally surrender my life to Jesus Christ. I tried every
- 8:54Speaker 1: other avenue. I tried my will. I did my thrill.
- 8:59Speaker 1: And even though I tend to say I do not
- 9:01Speaker 1: have any regrets, that's because my soul is at rest.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I have been forgiven. It took me longer to forgive
- 9:11Speaker 1: myself than how Jesus forgave me. The guilt, the shame,
- 9:17Speaker 1: the wasted time. The bridges burned, the people. Places and
- 9:24Speaker 1: things that controlled my life. Controlled my emotions, controlled my happiness.
- 9:30Speaker 1: And if I didn't get what I wanted, all hell
- 9:34Speaker 1: broke loose. Every saint has a past, every sinner has
- 9:37Speaker 1: a future. I'm allowing the spirit to take over. We
- 9:42Speaker 1: do not have to continue to keep diving into these
- 9:45Speaker 1: Bible verses on this episode. The ones that you have heard,
- 9:48Speaker 1: and if you want to replay this back and really
- 9:50Speaker 1: listen to this and get that Bible study really locked in,
- 9:57Speaker 1: I highly encourage that as well. But we have five
- 10:00Speaker 1: more minutes and I want to make this about the
- 10:05Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. As I am in recovery, I have been
- 10:11Speaker 1: able to experience the supernatural of the Holy Spirit. Starting
- 10:18Speaker 1: before I even got into recovery, In jail praying for someone.
- 10:23Speaker 1: That was not me. That person was drawn to me.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Because of the Holy Spirit that I carry. Like I've
- 10:33Speaker 1: stated that I'm borrowing. It is not mine. So for
- 10:39Speaker 1: that I cannot boast in it.
- 10:44Speaker 3: You have to give credit where credit is due. The
- 10:47Speaker 3: Holy Spirit.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Will work through you and clean out the mess.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But you have to be willing. You have to be
- 10:54Speaker 1: an obedient participant to God's will. And it's not what you.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Think it is. And it's not as hard. As you
- 11:02Speaker 3: may think it is.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Understanding.
- 11:13Speaker 3: This is deep. Understanding grief.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Grief. Without picking up a drink. Without picking up a drug.
- 11:27Speaker 1: It is a blessing to be able to feel emotions.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Understanding that that shows that you care. That shows that
- 11:34Speaker 1: you have compassion. We're all seeking for validation. We're all
- 11:42Speaker 1: seeking for likeness from others. And I say we because
- 11:49Speaker 1: we are as a world, not just a country, but
- 11:52Speaker 1: a world.
- 11:56Speaker 3: That has been separated.
- 12:00Speaker 1: From our maker. Not by choice. We did not choose
- 12:09Speaker 1: to come into this world. We were brought into this
- 12:16Speaker 1: world So our life, we are on borrowed time. For
- 12:23Speaker 1: the creator.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Will want and need for us to return.
- 12:32Speaker 2: For what he placed in us, our souls.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Have a home.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And what we do on this earth will mirror what
- 12:46Speaker 1: we do After this earth is long and gone. Not
- 12:52Speaker 1: your past failures. Not your trauma. Not your mistakes. It's
- 13:03Speaker 1: what you do now. Just like I stated in the
- 13:06Speaker 1: beginning of this episode. Your presence still lingers on you. Yes,
- 13:10Speaker 1: I know you got a background. You can't get good work.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I understand people see you as a certain way and
- 13:16Speaker 1: you have a reputation. But that does not dictate what
- 13:22Speaker 1: your future is going to look like if you put
- 13:24Speaker 1: your faith in Jesus Christ and realize to be in
- 13:27Speaker 1: the now is to be in the spirit of the
- 13:30Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Now you can go to other routes. The
- 13:35Speaker 1: third of the angels and Lucifer were cast down. Well,
- 13:41Speaker 1: the angels left.
- 13:43Speaker 3: One third. There's still two thirds. And that's a lot.
- 13:50Speaker 1: So get on the winning side. I'm not telling you
- 13:53Speaker 1: to be a religious person. I'm not telling you to
- 13:58Speaker 1: put yourself on a pedestal.
- 14:01Speaker 3: But humble yourself. And allow the Holy Spirit to help. Amen.
- 14:07Speaker 3: So this is the Ember Show. I got one more minute.
- 14:10Speaker 3: One minute to win it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I highly encourage you. To have a conversation with Jesus Christ.
- 14:22Speaker 3: With an open mind. With an open heart. Tell him.
- 14:26Speaker 3: Exactly how you feel. Say it. Like you mean it. Everything.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Good and bad about you. Allow him into your heart.
- 14:39Speaker 3: See what happens. See what happens. This is the Ember Show.
