- 2:14may be a voice for someone who may not have one. I ask that
- 2:17you would move me out of the way and let your Holy Spirit come in
- 2:22and reign supreme. I thank you for all that you are, all that
- 2:27you have done, and all that you shall do. I praise and worship
- 2:31your holy and righteous name in Jesus Name. Amen. Once again. My
- 2:38scripture is coming from Jeremiah twenty nine eleven. For I know the thoughts that
- 2:46I think towards you. Saith the Lord thoughts of peace and not evil,
- 2:53to give you a future and a hope. At this time, I would
- 3:05like to introduce and present to some of you, and I would like to
- 3:14introduce to you my amazing, amazing, wonderful, beautiful guest, Miss Tamera
- 3:23Champelle Chappelle. Yes you said it right the second time. Chappell Chapelle.
- 3:30Thank you, and I would like to welcome you to Trigger Reactions Conquered with
- 3:37the Lisa Hopkins and today our topic is going to be Excelling in God's Arms.
- 3:46That is the name of the show, the topic of the show,
- 3:51and we will be getting into some things in regards to that. But first
- 3:55I'm gonna ask my special guests to give us a little history on why she
- 4:02chose the scripture Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. Hello, everyone, God blessed,
- 4:11God bless I chose Jeremiah twenty nine eleven. And I keep it with
- 4:17me faithfully, which is my rings. This is on my ring. And
- 4:24that piece what you were talking about, that peace in that scripture, well
- 4:28it's say for I know the thoughts that I think towards. You said the
- 4:31Lord thoughts of peace? Who don't who doesn't want peace? I know I
- 4:36do peace, peace with everything in every area of my life, and not
- 4:43of evil. I don't want to be around evil. But hey, we're
- 4:46living in this world right and this world. God give us peace. He
- 4:54gives us peace, and I thank God for it. I thank God for
- 4:58it. And it's not our thoughts because today it will not be my thoughts.
- 5:00That's my prayer for today, as you just spoke. And Yes,
- 5:04Jeremiah twenty eleven, I keep that close to me. And also I would
- 5:12like to share a little bit about that scripture as well, because Yes also
- 5:15talks about future and hope. When we did not know Jesus Christ and the
- 5:21parting of our sins, we had no hope, We had no hope for
- 5:27our future. So we don't want to leave Jesus Christ out of anything,
- 5:31and we want to thank him for our hope which is in our future.
- 5:36Yea. And we don't we make all the plans in the world, but
- 5:42who has our future? The ultimate plan maker is so we thank God for
- 5:47that. And um, the topic of our show today is excelling in God's
- 5:57Arms. Yes, can you tell us a little bit of that? Well,
- 6:02Excelling Guy's Arms was a vision of mine that God gave to me.
- 6:09And the excelling God's Arms. What we do is bring the women together and
- 6:15we also do coed meetings as well. We've been doing it for fourteen years.
- 6:20Next month will make the fourteenth year anniversary before Excelling Guy's Arms, and
- 6:26we talk about different topics, bringing everyone together, loving on everyone. You
- 6:31know a lot of people don't have that support, so we are a supportive
- 6:34group. Amen. And so can you tell our listeners a little bit about
- 6:45why why you started the group? I think I just said that why because
- 6:49God told me to bring the women together. You know, we all should
- 6:55be live hearing from the Lord. So fourteen years ago I would say that
- 6:58my desk and Inglewood Inglewood, California, and he said, bring the women
- 7:03together. And I'm looking around like I know I heard what I heard.
- 7:06So I brought it to my friend, my dear friend, the Conda Boudreaux.
- 7:11She has been connected with me from day one and the first minute was
- 7:15at her home in the city of Palm Deal and we have been city of
- 7:18the city ever since. Then. Well, I thank the Lord for that
- 7:23ministry and I would like to know if your family is ever involved with it.
- 7:30Yes, first, my first ministry is my family, right, my
- 7:35children. Yes, I have two older ones and that's twenty six Alexa Chapelle.
- 7:42Ashley Clark is a twenty one year old and I have six kids in
- 7:47total, so all of them are part of this ministry. My mother,
- 7:54my two sisters, they have been a part of the ministry as in cooking.
- 8:00My baby sister can cook. Both of my sisters they can cook.
- 8:03And I know one meeting, I think last year in July, my baby
- 8:09sister bought some enchiladas and there if everybody loved those enchialatts. I think that
- 8:13was around my birthday month November. She made those enchilattas because at a part
- 8:20of me, a part of me so we were celebrating on my birthday.
- 8:22Amen. Yes, okay, well amen, thank God for family. Family
- 8:28is everything and everybody needs support of family. So we praise God for your
- 8:35family. In the endeavor of helping you out to do with what it is
- 8:41that you do. I would like for you to tell the people a little
- 8:46bit about what you do at the actual meetings. At the actual meetings,
- 8:54we talk about different topics and we focus on the topic and focus on the
- 9:01people who needs that help during that on that topic. So, for instance,
- 9:09the excelling guy's arm. We had a meeting regarding unlearned to unlearn unlearned
- 9:16to learn again, and that was one of my favorite topics. Um Nikki
- 9:20actually brought that topic to the group. Okay, well that's that. What
- 9:26are some of the topics just off the top, What are some of the
- 9:31topics that you guys have talked about. Which ones would you say were your
- 9:37best topics? I might as if just mentioned um unlearned to learn again,
- 9:43which Nkanda Boodraw she brought that topic to the group and that unlearned to learn
- 9:48again. We may have learned so many things from childhood, from college,
- 9:56wherever the case may be. And when you start going on living your own
- 10:00life, you begin to forget about some things and learn some new so to
- 10:07unlearn to learn again. That helps you to, you know, forget about
- 10:11some things in the past and learn something new so you can grow in that
- 10:15area. And I know, I know that you guys right now have been
- 10:22talking about the fruits of the spirit. Yes, let's talk about that a
- 10:26little bit. Yes, yes, yes, we've been talking about This is
- 10:31the second time that God placed on my heart to bring the fruit of the
- 10:35spirit to others that I'm connected with. The first one was with de Chantey's
- 10:41group that she has started, and we me and her tag team with the
- 10:48fruit of the spirit. And then also right now we started this month with
- 10:52excelling in God's Arms. Nakande and I has been tag team in regarding the
- 10:56fruit of the spirit. We need those characters or tracing our lives. Okay,
- 11:03Now, have you ever had a situation where you've actually seen somebody to
- 11:11be helped through excelling in God's Arms far as growth is concerned, yes,
- 11:20multiple people, multiple people. I want to give a shout out to Miss
- 11:24Jennifer Stewart. She came on our line, our testimony online last month,
- 11:31I believe, and she gave her testimony and she always let people know how
- 11:37excelling God's arms has helped her in many ways, and whether it's from healing
- 11:45where she has been healed, whether it's from transferring to another atmosphere where she
- 11:50has transferred from another atmosphere, and also within myself as well. You know,
- 11:54it's not about people who come into our group, it's about us learning
- 11:58as well. We learn and we grow from the people as well. We
- 12:03learn from one another. Okay, So would you say that those are some
- 12:09of the benefits for being a part of your group, Yes, the love,
- 12:15the support, the growth, all of that. Yes, okay,
- 12:24Well, I would like to just thank you for what you are doing because
- 12:28it's very important for people, not just women. And I know you have
- 12:35some co ed stuff going on. We'll talk about that in a minute,
- 12:39but it's important for us to be able to connect with people and of the
- 12:46connection that you are providing you maybe somebody in the group that may not know
- 12:54Jesus Christ, but as they come in the group then get an opportunity to
- 13:00know what you all know about Jesus Christ, and they're have an opportunity to
- 13:05meet them, meet him and have a relationship with him as well. So
- 13:11I think that would be possibly be one of the best benefits of allowing people
- 13:20to come and take part in the group and make those connections and tell us
- 13:26a little bit about the men. The men, Yes, the men.
- 13:33I want to give another shout out because I love my people. I love
- 13:37you guys Asari. Azari is the main one that's been supporting us day one,
- 13:43day one. When he first came, he was introduced to me through
- 13:48another connection and he never left. So he always stayed on me saying bring
- 13:54them in. What about us men? Well, I said, we'll watch
- 13:58to get something started, you know. So he's been supporting everything. Um
- 14:03he'll be coming um July ninth doing a CPR class and it's it's a beautiful
- 14:11thing. Azari is a great guy. He's been connected and it was multiple
- 14:16me and a friend of mine, um Elisa butte mister about her husband.
- 14:20He's a great support We have a lot of great supporting people for excelling guy's
- 14:26arms. Yes, and I do understand also that you guys have UH speakers
- 14:33guest speakers, and I believe it has something to do with testimonies as well.
- 14:39Yeah, yes, I will um. Every Since two thousand and nine,
- 14:46we have been doing guest speakers once a month, once a month,
- 14:52and during the pandemic we have to stop, you know, in person,
- 14:56so we start doing it every two months, every other month. And from
- 15:01there we went to right now we are on Google Meet. So Google Meet
- 15:05is a testimony meeting where we allow a person a guest speaker to come on
- 15:13every third Saturday other month to share their testimony and allow others to ask questions.
- 15:20So I love it. We love to hear people testimony because you've been
- 15:22through the test and now you have your testimony and let God know, let
- 15:28us know how God brought you through. Right amen? Amen? Well watered
- 15:33to that. Amen. I have somebody that is real close and dear to
- 15:41you making a comment, and it is Lakanda. Yes, miss Lakanda,
- 15:50I wanted you to be on here with her. I had invited you,
- 15:54but I understand that you're having some mitigating circumstances. I would like to thank
- 15:58you for stopping in and leaving your comment. It's a blessing to have you
- 16:04here. Yeah. Comment. Her comment is this. It says, yes,
- 16:10we do not shame or blame anyone who wants to connect with exhaling in
- 16:17God's arm. And I thank God for that, for that comment, because
- 16:22truly it's uh. We want to be like Christ. We want to walk,
- 16:29we want to be in his image. Of course, we don't know
- 16:33what he is, what he looks like, because those pictures do no justice,
- 16:37I'm sure, but we want to thank God that Jesus, when Jesus
- 16:42walked the earth, he didn't turn nobody away. And we thank we thank
- 16:48God that you're you're excelling into God's arms. We thank God that you have
- 16:55that same concept that Jesus Christ had to not learn anyone away and to allow
- 17:03everybody to come as they are, because truly, God, he looks at
- 17:08the heart. Yeah, he looks at us from the inside coming out.
- 17:14So thank you for allowing anybody and everybody to be a part so that they
- 17:21can feel like they have a connection to somebody. Now, Amen, thank
- 17:27you again, missus Lacanda. I appreciate you. Have you ever have you
- 17:36ever had anybody that really and literally came to Christ because of what you do?
- 17:45Yes, mostiple people without even knowing until later on, you know,
- 17:49Like I said, some a lot of people, we don't know their life
- 17:55until they had said, just come on, like na kind of mention.
- 17:59Tammer is the one who go out and connects. Yes, I do.
- 18:00I love it. I just you see it. I love it well like
- 18:07a lot of people. You when you met me, you know so I'm
- 18:10always inviting, you know. I love to learn people. I love for
- 18:15others to learn me. And that's how you get to connect. How you
- 18:18gonna know God if you're not connected a man. And I'm glad you mentioned
- 18:25when we met it was it was a wonderful meet. I mean you pour
- 18:29it into me just right there that day. I mean what you did.
- 18:33You walked up to me with a book and it was a poem book,
- 18:38and you said, I need you to do something for me. I want
- 18:42you to open up this poem book because literally people have been opening up this
- 18:48book and what they opened up to has blessed them. And it seemed like
- 18:55that the Lord allowed them to open to that page because as they would be
- 19:00blessed from the book. Well, I am here to tell you that it
- 19:06happened for me as well. She handed me the poem book and I opened
- 19:11it up and it said something about making sure that our living is not in
- 19:17vain. And it is truly, truly my aim to make sure that what
- 19:23I am doing is for God, through God and with God, because truly
- 19:30I don't want my living to be in vain. And the Bible also says
- 19:36that what only only what you do for Christ was will last. So we
- 19:41thank God for our meeting and us making a connection, and I'm looking forward
- 19:48to going forward and the things of God with you. Thank you. So
- 19:57why would you say that making con actions? I know you already said something,
- 20:03but why would you say that making connections is important? Making connections for
- 20:08me is very important because they are so regarding excelling Guy's arms. There are
- 20:15so many people that are hurting that does not have a voice, that they
- 20:22don't know how to just be themselves. So when they come around, when
- 20:29I connect with them, I help you be yourself. You know, I'm
- 20:36gonna help you voice your opinion. So when they say, oh, I
- 20:38come into participate in a group, but I may not say anything, they
- 20:42come and they say, okay, just takes it takes a minute now,
- 20:48yes, yes, And you for a person that doesn't really talk that much,
- 20:55when they open their mouth and they start talking, they're gonna be blessing
- 21:00somebody else and they mayn't even know it. And we thank God for people
- 21:04willingness to share um, to be able to be that voice that somebody They
- 21:11will be the voice that they thought that they didn't have for somebody else.
- 21:17Yes, I'm yeah, because them when they come, majority of them that
- 21:22has came, they come there and they listen, but they also speak up
- 21:27because some could come and just don't say anything. They wouldn't even ask a
- 21:30question, but they do. Yes, And Lakanda just said, they usually
- 21:36say something, So it's good for them that don't really or don't really want
- 21:45to talk, or they're shy, or or whatever the case may be.
- 21:51We have to know that Moses, Moses stuttered and he thought he thought that
- 21:56he couldn't be used by God because of his speech impediment or whatever. But
- 22:03we look at the characters in the Bible and we know that nothing new.
- 22:10There's nothing new under the sun. So if God did it for those who
- 22:15are in the Word of God, he can also do it for us.
- 22:18Yes, Ecclesia asked, Chapter three, Hallelujah, what does it say?
- 22:22Ecclesia asks, Chapter three says what you just spoke on AM there's nothing new
- 22:30under the sun. And yeah that was Solomon talking over there, right,
- 22:37yes, yeah yeah. So um, so I'm gonna ask you if there
- 22:48is a legacy that you would like to leave with the whole world, what
- 22:56would it be. First? I would like to leave for my children,
- 23:00and that's walking my faith, just trusting in God wholeheartedly, walking my faith.
- 23:07That's it. Okay, um, okay. So my last question is
- 23:14going to be are you at liberty to give our viewers a way to contact
- 23:23you. Yes, they can reach me at ex helling in God's Arm at
- 23:30yahoo dot com. That's exhaling and God's all excelling God's Arm at Yahoo dot
