Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida. This
- 0:04Speaker 1: is the Ember Show. Your host, Ember.
- 0:06Speaker 2: First and foremost, let's get into prayer.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Lord, Father that art in heaven, I come to you
- 0:10Speaker 1: in prayer to be able to have the Holy Spirit
- 0:12Speaker 1: be able to speak through this mic and go through
- 0:15Speaker 1: the listeners' ears and be able to reach their hearts
- 0:17Speaker 1: and minds and be able to apply these verses to
- 0:19Speaker 1: their lives.
- 0:20Speaker 2: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
- 0:24Speaker 1: And before we get into the verse of the day,
- 0:28Speaker 1: as I prayed that prayer, I didn't close my eyes.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I didn't put my hands together. Nowhere in the Bible
- 0:35Speaker 1: does it say that you have to do that.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Come as you are. Speak as you are. Who you are.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Don't try to act like you are something when you're
- 0:47Speaker 1: coming to Jesus. Because that's the one thing.
- 0:52Speaker 2: He knows you. He knows your heart. He knows your
- 0:55Speaker 2: mind more than you even do. Just remember that.
- 0:59Speaker 1: So we're going to get into the verse of the
- 1:00Speaker 1: day and I'm going to give you a little bit
- 1:02Speaker 1: of time to be able to grab your Bibles or
- 1:04Speaker 1: get on your Bible app and read along as you
- 1:05Speaker 1: hear along. We're going to be in Psalms chapter 46
- 1:08Speaker 1: verse 10 and we'll probably get a little deeper into that.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Allowing the Spirit to have the floor. Now I want
- 1:18Speaker 1: to make this clear that when I let the Holy
- 1:22Speaker 1: Spirit have the floor, that does not mean that I
- 1:26Speaker 1: will not come in After or before.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:31Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. And it's a choice
- 1:35Speaker 1: to be able to put that consciousness of Christ on.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Be able to have the Holy Spirit. And it is
- 1:41Speaker 1: almost like a pet. You have to continue to keep
- 1:44Speaker 1: feeding it. If you don't, then it dies. You have
- 1:48Speaker 1: to keep.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Not only just feeding it, but making sure that it's healthy.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Right?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:57Speaker 1: Because we all have a tendency to get away. We're
- 2:01Speaker 1: very easily distracted these days. So I've given you enough
- 2:05Speaker 1: time to get your Bible app. Or get your Bible.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Or get on your Bible app. And read along as
- 2:15Speaker 1: you hear along. Because I highly encourage that in every episode.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Psalms chapter 46 verse 10 states. Verse of the day.
- 2:21Speaker 1: He says be still and quiet forever. Understand that I
- 2:27Speaker 1: am God. I rule as king over the nations. All
- 2:32Speaker 1: the world will say that I am great. You notice
- 2:37Speaker 1: how it says I rule as a king over the nations.
- 2:41Speaker 2: It's not just the nation. It's not just.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Jesus isn't just for America. Jesus isn't just for Europe.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Jesus isn't just for Africa. Jesus isn't just for Australia.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And so on and so on. It's for the nations.
- 2:58Speaker 1: For the nations. I rule as a king over the nations.
- 3:04Speaker 2: We go back to the first sentence.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Be still and quiet. I have done this. During a
- 3:13Speaker 1: kind of a paranormal kind of event. And this is
- 3:19Speaker 1: just my experience. Obviously, like I've stated.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I will intervene sometimes. We all have a story to tell.
- 3:29Speaker 1: And there was a time when I was at my cousin's.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Kind of a new trailer slash home.
- 3:39Speaker 1: And we were indulging in drugs and drinking and all
- 3:44Speaker 1: that and.
- 3:45Speaker 2: That's the gateway to hell. It really is.
- 3:48Speaker 1: And being able to be in A situation that not
- 3:54Speaker 1: only tested my faith. But also confirmed my faith.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Amen. Because I was laying there on the bed.
- 4:01Speaker 1: And I've seen these figures.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I've seen things outside. And... The spirits were definitely in
- 4:12Speaker 2: that house.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And there was noises. There was different things. And there
- 4:16Speaker 1: was a point in time where I did get into prayer.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And then there was a time... But soon after that,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I just laid there and I was quiet and I
- 4:25Speaker 1: closed my eyes. And it's not that I necessarily went
- 4:28Speaker 1: to sleep right away. I just was quiet.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And you want to know what happened?
- 4:33Speaker 1: Like not even five minutes after I started looking around,
- 4:38Speaker 1: all the spirits were gone. And being it as a
- 4:45Speaker 1: follower of Christ now, during that time I was a believer.
- 4:48Speaker 2: So let's get into Psalms chapter 46 a little bit.
- 4:52Speaker 2: more deeper.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I hope that everybody has had a great evening, morning, afternoon,
- 5:02Speaker 1: depending on when you have pressed play on this. So
- 5:08Speaker 1: Psalms chapter 46. Let's jump into it.
- 5:13Speaker 2: 46.
- 5:15Speaker 3: 46. 46. Okay, bear with me, bear with me. Bear
- 5:36Speaker 3: with me.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And that is... Psalms 46.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And like we covered in the verse of the day,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and I'll repeat it.
- 6:14Speaker 2: He says, be still and quiet. Be still and quiet.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Understand that I am God. I rule as king over
- 6:21Speaker 2: the nations.
- 6:22Speaker 1: All the world will say that I am great. Verse 11.
- 6:28Speaker 1: The Lord Almighty is there to help us. The God
- 6:32Speaker 1: of Jacob keeps us safe.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Amen. And that's the best way to end a gospel.
- 6:40Speaker 2: The Lord Almighty is there to help us. The God
- 6:44Speaker 2: of Jacob keeps us safe.
- 6:47Speaker 1: There's a lot of, there's a lot of unfortunate events
- 6:53Speaker 1: that have happened in our lives. Whether it was self-inflicted,
- 6:57Speaker 1: whether it was put upon us. But we can be
- 7:01Speaker 1: able to be safe knowing that when we are divinely
- 7:06Speaker 1: connected to the Holy Spirit through having that relationship with
- 7:10Speaker 1: Jesus Christ that the peace goes past our understanding.
- 7:19Speaker 2: The shields that are put up.
- 7:24Speaker 1: There's so many times as a believer and follower of
- 7:29Speaker 1: Christ where I just, I knew that was the Holy Spirit,
- 7:32Speaker 1: whether it gave me the way out, always gives me
- 7:38Speaker 1: a way out of a tough situation, or it speaks
- 7:41Speaker 1: through me, or it.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Just, it warns me.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And my intuition has been off the past six months
- 7:50Speaker 1: a little bit because I kind of.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Went against my intuition, against my gut.
- 7:58Speaker 1: And now that this person has been removed or they
- 8:01Speaker 1: removed themselves, it's kind of been a clean of house
- 8:08Speaker 1: when it comes to my intuition. And I still miss
- 8:12Speaker 1: this person, don't get me wrong. And this person is
- 8:16Speaker 1: my person, but they are sick. And what I've also
- 8:21Speaker 1: heard tonight, sick people hurt people. There's just no other
- 8:27Speaker 1: way around it. And the more and more that I
- 8:34Speaker 1: continue to follow Christ, the more and more that I
- 8:37Speaker 1: continue to do what's right.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I have a hunger for righteousness. I have a hunger
- 8:47Speaker 2: for learning. And I kind of just want to let
- 8:51Speaker 2: the Spirit kind of do its thing.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And really speak to the listener.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Which I'm a listener as well.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I want you to understand that.
- 9:04Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Is one spirit. When you drink and you use drugs.
- 9:11Speaker 1: You're putting in multiple spirits. And no matter how strong of.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Character you really think you are.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Your pride and ego will get in the way. And
- 9:25Speaker 1: you might be able to function for a while. But
- 9:29Speaker 1: I'm not even just talking about alcohol and drugs.
- 9:32Speaker 2: There is... You can be addicted to sex.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You can be addicted to porn.
- 9:36Speaker 2: You can be addicted to overeating. You can be addicted
- 9:38Speaker 2: to shopping. These things do not glorify God. Yet, we
- 9:43Speaker 2: still do them. And I said we. Because it's me
- 9:48Speaker 2: as well. Of course... I'm in my repentance stage... As
- 9:55Speaker 2: of recently. But this is what I also want to
- 9:58Speaker 2: make sure that you understand. the listener. I am no
- 10:01Speaker 2: better than you.
- 10:02Speaker 1: You can do this exact same thing I'm doing right now.
- 10:06Speaker 1: This doesn't cost me anything. Only about my time, my efforts,
- 10:12Speaker 1: my energy. But it's also rejuvenating. Oh, that's a lovely word.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Rejuvenating. When I do... These episodes... And... With less than
- 10:25Speaker 2: five minutes to go... I also want to... Leave some time...
- 10:30Speaker 2: For me to be able to express how I feel...
- 10:33Speaker 2: And what I'm going through... I am.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Very devastated with... The breakup of me and my girlfriend.
- 10:46Speaker 2: It was just so impactful... Not... Talking about the toxicity. But...
- 10:54Speaker 2: Talking about... Just the... The in and out. You know? And...
- 11:03Speaker 2: It's just.
- 11:04Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate. Because also I see my wrongs in
- 11:08Speaker 1: it as well. Maybe rushing the meat. Maybe rushing... The
- 11:14Speaker 1: sexual part.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And... The obsession, right? The obsession. Being it is at
- 11:31Speaker 2: two and a half.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Years ago, I was living completely different. And I'm just
- 11:40Speaker 1: very thankful that I am where I am today.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Mentally, physically, spiritually.
- 11:47Speaker 1: A whole lot Has not changed on the outside. I
- 11:51Speaker 1: might have a little bit more glow to me.
- 11:54Speaker 2: But... People have come.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And people have gone. The Lord has never left me.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Since I was 16, 17 years old. And then when
- 12:06Speaker 1: I was 18. I also was given a gift. Of
- 12:10Speaker 1: being able to rap. And that led into doing this.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Podcasting.
- 12:17Speaker 1: And.
- 12:19Speaker 1: My interest in being outdoors, I'm actually recording this outdoors
- 12:23Speaker 1: if you don't hear the crickets. There's a lot of
- 12:26Speaker 1: times I record my music outside. I record these episodes,
- 12:30Speaker 1: like I stated, outside. I'm outside majority of the time.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And I believe that's how it's supposed to be.
- 12:37Speaker 2: A home is.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Meant to rest, sleep. You know, get ready, eat. But
- 12:41Speaker 1: it's not meant to just be a place where you...
- 12:47Speaker 1: get too comfortable and too lazy. Because it's so easy
- 12:53Speaker 1: to get in that procrastination state of mind when you're
- 12:57Speaker 1: constantly inside.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Constantly inside.
- 13:03Speaker 1: It's not good for you. It's not good for your mental.
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's not good for your blood pressure. I mean, we
- 13:08Speaker 1: can keep going down the line. And you can do
- 13:10Speaker 1: your own research. But I also want to talk about.
- 13:19Speaker 2: The Spirit.
- 13:21Speaker 1: And the fruits of the Spirit in this last minute.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I have been able to tap in to my spirituality
- 13:32Speaker 1: to the point to where nothing, not even myself, can
- 13:36Speaker 1: shake myself out of what God has for me.
- 13:41Speaker 2: He can do the same for you. You just have
- 13:43Speaker 2: to be consistent in prayer. Consistent And praise.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And consistent in reading the Bible. It's three things. It's
- 13:55Speaker 1: three things. And I kind of lined them up for
- 13:57Speaker 1: you in the right order. The most important is prayer.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Praise God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And get into
- 14:05Speaker 1: the word that is illustrated by God's people.
- 14:10Speaker 2: So. Ooh, the Holy Spirit.
- 14:15Speaker 1: It's something that comes to.
- 14:19Speaker 1: The understanding of the Bible. You don't have to necessarily
- 14:22Speaker 1: understand the whole Bible. You just have to believe it.
- 14:26Speaker 1: You just have to believe it. There's a lot of
- 14:29Speaker 1: things in the Bible that's going to confuse you. And
- 14:31Speaker 1: it's not going to make sense. Because it's in a
- 14:34Speaker 1: whole other time.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Anyways, this is The Ember Show. Your host, Ember. Just
- 14:39Speaker 2: know that God loves you. I love you. No matter what.
- 14:44Speaker 1: As for a particular somebody as well. And anybody that's listening.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play. Have a wonderful evening.
