Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Castleberry, Florida. This is
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Ember Show. On the go, your host, Ember. First
- 0:08Speaker 1: and foremost, let's jump into prayer.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Lord, Father, that art is in heaven.
- 0:11Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:13Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
- 0:16Speaker 1: mic and go through the listeners' ears and be able
- 0:18Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
- 0:20Speaker 1: apply these verses to their lives.
- 0:23Speaker 2: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen. So,
- 0:27Speaker 2: we're going to be in.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter 43 verse 1 through 2.
- 0:33Speaker 2: And maybe a couple other verses.
- 0:36Speaker 1: But I wanted to jump into.
- 0:40Speaker 2: This particular.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Ooh, that was nice lightning.
- 0:42Speaker 2: It was beautiful. I love Mother Nature.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I'm looking at the rain right now. And it's just
- 0:49Speaker 1: a light rain with some thunderstorms.
- 0:54Speaker 2: But anyways... Wow, that was really beautiful.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Loneliness is something that we've all either dealt with or
- 1:03Speaker 1: have to deal with, right? And when we're talking about
- 1:07Speaker 1: loneliness as well, we could talk about boredom. Before I
- 1:11Speaker 1: get into Isaiah chapter 43, verse 1, I want to
- 1:17Speaker 1: let the Spirit really take over this episode and really
- 1:22Speaker 1: take charge. It's not about me. It's not about the
- 1:26Speaker 1: Ember Show right now. It's about the Word of God.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It's allowing the Holy Spirit to be able to illustrate
- 1:33Speaker 1: it as well because the Holy Spirit is a helper.
- 1:36Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit is a guider.
- 1:37Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is a gift sent by Jesus Himself.
- 1:43Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit take over. So when we have this
- 1:47Speaker 2: boredom and we have this loneliness....
- 1:51Speaker 1: Whether we are alone or with people when we feel this.
- 1:57Speaker 1: It is honestly a nudge from God that He wants
- 2:04Speaker 1: your time. Because God is a selfish, greedy kind of
- 2:10Speaker 1: God when it comes to us.
- 2:11Speaker 2: He has mercy. He has grace.
- 2:13Speaker 1: But when it comes to our time, He not only wants.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Us to acknowledge Him, but to get to know Him.
- 2:21Speaker 1: To be able to be in the Spirit. Allowing the
- 2:24Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to give you peace.
- 2:26Speaker 2: You seek validation. You seek comfort. You seek peace.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And people places in things that do not provide everlasting.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Love, peace, comfort. These things are all going to run out.
- 2:44Speaker 2: But God's always there. God's waiting for you. So Isaiah.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Isaiah.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Chapter 43, verse 1 through 2.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I've given you plenty of time to be able to
- 2:52Speaker 1: hop on your Bibles or get on your Bible app
- 2:54Speaker 1: and read along as you hear along.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter 43, verse 1 states, Now he says this
- 3:01Speaker 2: to you. He says this to you and me.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Alright?
- 3:20Speaker 2: Listen.
- 3:21Speaker 1: And this is repeated over in the Bible over 300
- 3:25Speaker 1: times for a reason.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Do not be afraid. I have rescued you so that
- 3:32Speaker 2: you belong to me. Forgive me for the moped in
- 3:35Speaker 2: the background. It sounds like crap. Sorry.
- 3:37Speaker 1: There's always going to be distractions, but you've got to
- 3:41Speaker 1: stay focused.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I have called you by your name. So now you
- 3:48Speaker 2: are mine. Verse 2. Let's dig deeper.
- 3:52Speaker 1: When you go through deep water, I will be with you.
- 3:56Speaker 1: When you go across dangerous rivers, you will not drown.
- 4:01Speaker 1: When you walk through fire, it will not burn you.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The flames will not destroy you. Now, don't test God, Jesus,
- 4:11Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit and literally put your hand on
- 4:14Speaker 1: the stove.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Okay, we're not talking about actual flames, too.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Now.
- 4:20Speaker 2: We're talking about reality. Society. The standards of living. The
- 4:27Speaker 2: way that we've been programmed. Whether it's from our parents.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Whether it's from social media. Whether it's from TV. The
- 4:35Speaker 2: list goes on.
- 4:37Speaker 1: We're talking about there's times where you have to pretend.
- 4:43Speaker 2: We've all been there.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Whether we have to pretend to to like somebody we
- 4:48Speaker 1: have to pretend to not show our feelings we have
- 4:52Speaker 1: to pretend right those moments you're going through deep waters
- 4:57Speaker 1: you're going through dangerous rivers because you're placing yourself in
- 5:01Speaker 1: circumstances and putting yourself in predicaments that can linger into
- 5:08Speaker 1: your own well-being now let me dig a little deeper
- 5:13Speaker 1: i want to dig a little deeper okay.
- 5:18Speaker 2: There's a spiritual.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Warfare.
- 5:23Speaker 2: That transpires. Whether you're. In the pits of hell. Or
- 5:31Speaker 2: you're here in a different dimension. Just because. You have. Serenity.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Doesn't mean the enemy. Isn't going to come and try to.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Provoke you. Just like.
- 5:48Speaker 1: The saying goes, keep on poking the bear while it's
- 5:52Speaker 1: eating its honey.
- 5:55Speaker 2: And expect him not to bite you. Or to rowl
- 5:58Speaker 2: at you. Or roar, I'm sorry. Keep on poking that
- 6:03Speaker 2: bear and see what happens. Or you could just leave
- 6:07Speaker 2: the bear alone.
- 6:09Speaker 1: You could leave that job that's not really satisfying you.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Or it's not providing. Now that doesn't mean just quit
- 6:16Speaker 1: your job, you have to find another job.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I highly encourage that.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I'm kind of going through something like that right now,
- 6:23Speaker 1: where I'm looking for work and I.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Had to kind of quit, though it's a long story.
- 6:31Speaker 1: But as I continue to allow the Holy Spirit, see
- 6:37Speaker 1: how I kind of got away from it for a minute?
- 6:40Speaker 1: That's the consciousness of Christ, being able to put it
- 6:43Speaker 1: on and take it off. Now there's a lot of
- 6:46Speaker 1: people that don't know what I'm.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Talking about right now. And that's okay. Every saint has
- 6:52Speaker 2: a past. Every sinner has a future. You're listening to
- 6:55Speaker 2: this episode for a reason.
- 6:58Speaker 1: You don't need to understand that reason right now.
- 7:02Speaker 2: You don't.
- 7:03Speaker 1: All you need to know is that I'm planting a
- 7:06Speaker 1: seed in your mind right now. I'm planting a seed
- 7:10Speaker 1: in your heart. It's up to you to water it.
- 7:14Speaker 1: It's up to you to go to Jesus. It's up
- 7:16Speaker 1: to you to be able to have that relationship. I'm
- 7:18Speaker 1: not going to be able to save you. Bible study
- 7:21Speaker 1: is not going to be able to save you. Going
- 7:23Speaker 1: to church is not going to be able to save you.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Praising the Lord is not going to be able to
- 7:30Speaker 1: save you alone.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I don't need to repeat that. But I will. I
- 7:38Speaker 2: want to.
- 7:39Speaker 1: The church is not going to be able to save you.
- 7:44Speaker 1: The Bible is not going to be able to save you.
- 7:48Speaker 1: The praising is not going to be able to save you.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It's having that relationship with Jesus Christ. Someone that you
- 7:57Speaker 1: are very connected to, right? That you can tell everything to,
- 8:01Speaker 1: whether it's your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister,
- 8:04Speaker 1: your best friend, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, whoever it may be,
- 8:08Speaker 1: that you feel completely.
- 8:09Speaker 2: 100%, Being yourself around.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Take that relationship and how you talk to that person
- 8:22Speaker 1: and revert it into that relationship with Jesus. Or convert it.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Whatever word you want to kind of use.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I'm no nobody special when it comes to this world.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But when it comes to God, I'm very special. And
- 8:41Speaker 1: we're not talking about special In a negative way. Since
- 8:47Speaker 1: we like to. To put labels on people. Whether they
- 8:51Speaker 1: have handicaps. Whether they are. Mentally not right. Whatever the
- 8:56Speaker 1: case may be.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Okay. We're talking about a different kind of special. We're
- 9:03Speaker 2: talking about. Oh all right spirit. Go. Go with it.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Kind of goes back to the beginning of this podcast. Jesus. God.
- 9:21Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit. They know where you're at right now.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And they know. That you need.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Them.
- 9:32Speaker 2: It's three in one. God.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 9:35Speaker 2: And the Holy Spirit.
- 9:36Speaker 1: The Holy Trinity. Everything happens for a reason. Whether you
- 9:44Speaker 1: believe that or not, that's irrelevant. I'm just the messenger
- 9:51Speaker 1: as well. I'm an obedient participant to the.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Gospel of Jesus Christ. And that's why I do what
- 9:59Speaker 2: it is I do. I don't get paid for this.
- 10:05Speaker 2: In US dollars. But my father in heaven. Hallowed be
- 10:13Speaker 2: thy name.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Thy kingdom be done here on earth as it is
- 10:18Speaker 1: in heaven. There's a lot of different sayings that you'll
- 10:22Speaker 1: hear over and over. And there's a lot of repetitive,
- 10:29Speaker 1: very comparable verses in the Bible because this is something
- 10:34Speaker 1: that you need to understand. I got about maybe four
- 10:38Speaker 1: more minutes. That the Bible is written.
- 10:45Speaker 1: By numerous people. That's why there's names in the Bible.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Because those were people that were eyewitnesses. And that were
- 10:54Speaker 1: taking an account. In their perspective. Of what they were witnessing.
- 11:02Speaker 1: What God was doing with Jesus. Now we can talk
- 11:06Speaker 1: about the Holy Spirit. But I want to break this down.
- 11:10Speaker 1: We will talk about the Holy Spirit.
- 11:13Speaker 2: How it came upon.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Right because when Jesus was baptized the heavens opened skies
- 11:21Speaker 1: opened John the Baptist witnessed this everybody else there in
- 11:25Speaker 1: the Jordan River witnessed this and the Holy Spirit was
- 11:30Speaker 1: put into Jesus and then that's when it was game
- 11:35Speaker 1: on and that's when the miracle started happening there could
- 11:40Speaker 1: be a whole another book written just alone for all
- 11:50Speaker 1: that Jesus did in his ministry. What makes it really
- 11:58Speaker 1: unique is that there was many before Jesus that couldn't
- 12:05Speaker 1: get the job done. There had to be a Savior.
- 12:12Speaker 1: There were plenty of We can talk about spiritual icons
- 12:20Speaker 1: that were very close to being perfect like Jesus, but
- 12:27Speaker 1: didn't get the job done. Job's not finished, like Kobe
- 12:33Speaker 1: Bryant said, right? Jesus Christ did it. And that's what
- 12:37Speaker 1: separates him. And that's why there's also a lot of hate.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Because when you're doing something great... And you're doing something
- 12:44Speaker 1: different from the world. The world that is separated from God.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Of course you're going to be hated on. When you're
- 12:52Speaker 1: fulfilling God's purpose in your life. Not everybody is going
- 12:59Speaker 1: to be alright with that. And you have to be
- 13:02Speaker 1: able to understand. I got two minutes. You have to
- 13:05Speaker 1: understand that even the people closest to you are only
- 13:08Speaker 1: going to remember the version of you that they want
- 13:11Speaker 1: to remember.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Keep that in mind moving forward. This is the Ember Show,
- 13:16Speaker 2: your host Ember.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I also want to encourage you to strengthen your faith.
- 13:24Speaker 1: By accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
- 13:29Speaker 2: A simple prayer like this. And you can say it
- 13:32Speaker 2: on your own time. You don't have to repeat after me. Jesus,
- 13:37Speaker 2: I come to you in prayer.
- 13:41Speaker 1: And I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Please
- 13:43Speaker 1: come into my heart. And repair what needs to be repaired.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I accept you. And I love you. In the Lord
- 13:57Speaker 2: Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
- 14:02Speaker 1: And when you have time I have a minute to
- 14:04Speaker 1: win it. I'm not here to save you.
- 14:08Speaker 2: I'm here to direct you. To who's going to save you. Amen.
- 14:12Speaker 2: And I say this.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Humbly. Because for 20 years. I was a believer. I
- 14:18Speaker 1: was not a follower of Christ. There is a big difference.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Even the devil believes in God. The devil thought he
- 14:25Speaker 1: was better than God. That's why God casted him out.
- 14:28Speaker 1: And God and the devil are always up to something.
- 14:31Speaker 1: And that's why we need Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I'm just the messenger. This is the Ember Show. Your
- 14:37Speaker 1: host Ember. Thank you for pressing play. And realize that
- 14:40Speaker 1: you are a spitting image of God because God put
- 14:43Speaker 1: you together. Now it's time to get back together.
