Prayer and devotionals with scriptures to mediate on. Knowing that praying is our line of communication to God. Seeking him through his word. Then finding encouragement through his word. For all of the daily challenges of life. The triune GOD wants us to lean on him. Sharing his word is his command…

JSPEAKS THE POET'S BIO:Born in Hawaii and raised in San Diego, CA, Jerome is a military progeny who has been blessed to travel the world and be exposed to diverse learning experiences and people. These experiences served as a perfect platform for preparing him to minister and relate to people from all over the world, which would later become an integral part of his purpose in life. Jerome has been a poet at heart and has had the gift of rhyme all of his life, but his serious commitment to writing and reciting began in 2009 after he clearly heard the voice of the Lord tell him, "I GAVE YOU A GIFT...USE IT!!!" From that moment forward, he has been dedicated to using his God-Given gifts as a scribe which include poetry, songwriting, and rapping. To date, Jerome has released several compilations. Why JSpeaks (2016), A Different Dynamic EP (2016), the single, God is Greater (2017), Long Way ft. Urgency (2019), and You Think you know Me (2021) are just a few of his current top charting productions.

I am sharing something the Pastor J. my amazing friend and podcast partner shared. "Clean Sweep 2025: Purge, Prune, and Pick Up God's Word for a Transformative Year!" As we step into 2025, here's something God would love for you to do regularly: engage with His word to guide your conscience and direct your journey. **Purge, Prune, and Put Down:** - Reflect on what's holding you back in life. Release these things to create space for spiritual growth. *“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” - Isaiah 43:18* **Pick Up and Meditate:** - Embrace God's teachings by reading and meditating on His word day and night. Let it be the light that guides you. *“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” - Psalm 119:105* **Communicate and Grow:** - Approach God with boldness, sharing what's on your mind and heart, and express your desire to make more room for Him. *“Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence.” - Hebrews 4:16* **Extend Grace and Truth:** - Always continue to mature into the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, who sacrificed Himself for us to have a relationship with Him. With faith, follow these practices, and you'll find yourself advancing with God into the new year. Pastor James Sutton II #0101 25
Life will always throw unexpected things at us in life. Never let any of those things stop you. Remember sometimes you just need to Be still and know that he is God. Psalm 46:10, " Be still, and know that Iam God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"(NKJV). Enjoy this walk and talk episode. Grab your book newly out on Audio!!

All the gifts the Lord has blessed you with are for his glory and to edify the body of Christ. As you listen ask yourself are you comparing yourself to another saint? What gifts has the Lord blessed you with to share with others? This what Proverbs 18:16 says," A man's gift makes room for him before great men". There is no need to force things to happen. Be patient and trust and have faith in the Lord. The Lord knows exactly the timing of everything for you. In the meantime stay faithful and do not compromise who you are in Christ Jesus.

Triggers can come from a variety of places. There can even be triggers that you may have never dealt with. You cannot always prepare for what you are not aware of is your Trigger. In this episode TDRAKE will share some her triggers that ununexpectedly came up in conversation. Coping mechanisms can be could to use at that moment to mitigate the emotional turmoil you may feeling. Sometimes there are coping mechanisms that were could for a certain time period. In your present state those particular coping mechanisms are no longer appropriate to utilize. The only way to know that is if something happens that brings up a Trigger that you were unaware you had not dealt with.

00:01:25.540 a there's there's some 00:01:25.581 --> 00:01:27.602 people that I know some 00:01:27.623 --> 00:01:28.263 people that I love 00:01:29.394 --> 00:01:31.236 some ladies that are dear, 00:01:31.757 --> 00:01:34.980 some couples that are dear to my heart. 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.980 And they're going through a 00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:38.361 situation whereas they're 00:01:38.382 --> 00:01:40.823 trying to weigh out their 00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:42.706 faith versus their future 00:01:44.387 --> 00:01:45.408 or their faith versus their 00:01:45.447 --> 00:01:46.448 peace of mind or faith 00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:47.450 versus their happiness. 00:01:48.090 --> 00:01:50.391 And it should not be a either or. 00:01:51.912 --> 00:01:55.896 And what I'm learning is there's a great, 00:01:56.456 --> 00:01:57.878 awesome level of commitment 00:01:59.275 --> 00:02:00.676 That women have towards 00:02:00.736 --> 00:02:03.397 their vows and towards what 00:02:03.436 --> 00:02:04.358 they understand the word of 00:02:04.418 --> 00:02:06.718 God says about never 00:02:06.778 --> 00:02:08.979 divorcing your husband. 00:02:11.161 --> 00:02:15.883 And I see men who are marginal at best, 00:02:15.923 --> 00:02:17.403 but not really blood bought, 00:02:17.484 --> 00:02:19.585 saved men actually taking 00:02:19.604 --> 00:02:20.985 advantage of these women. 00:02:21.573 --> 00:02:22.812 that they will stay in an 00:02:22.953 --> 00:02:24.033 abusive relationship, 00:02:24.093 --> 00:02:26.633 whether it's physical, financial, social, 00:02:27.234 --> 00:02:27.713 mental, 00:02:28.253 --> 00:02:30.534 and even spiritual to a high 00:02:30.574 --> 00:02:33.475 degree of anxiety or even 00:02:33.515 --> 00:02:34.816 just a continuous feeding 00:02:35.075 --> 00:02:37.015 of gaslighting and things like that, 00:02:37.075 --> 00:02:37.816 verbal abuse. 00:02:38.896 --> 00:02:41.437 And they believe in their 00:02:41.477 --> 00:02:43.598 hearts after being abused 00:02:43.717 --> 00:02:44.457 that they should stay in 00:02:44.497 --> 00:02:45.277 this relationship. 00:02:46.443 --> 00:02:48.243 And I, 00:02:48.804 --> 00:02:51.764 my opinion is that there's many 00:02:51.805 --> 00:02:53.906 different kinds of adultery 00:02:55.126 --> 00:02:58.826 to which a young lady can 00:02:58.967 --> 00:03:01.207 leave her husband. 00:03:02.328 --> 00:03:03.929 And if you're being spiritually abused, 00:03:04.008 --> 00:03:05.889 emotionally abused, socially abused, 00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:08.930 physically abused, and cheated upon, 00:03:08.949 --> 00:03:09.030 okay, 00:03:12.264 --> 00:03:13.406 giving to another what's 00:03:13.466 --> 00:03:15.086 supposed to give to the wife that care, 00:03:15.627 --> 00:03:18.207 that Ephesians to husband, 00:03:18.728 --> 00:03:19.888 where he's supposed to love 00:03:20.248 --> 00:03:21.968 his wife as Christ loved the church. 00:03:22.490 --> 00:03:23.409 And these are the things 00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:25.390 that he's supposed to do, set her apart, 00:03:25.751 --> 00:03:26.431 sanctify her, 00:03:26.531 --> 00:03:30.252 and he is not willing to do so. 00:03:30.272 --> 00:03:31.674 Then at that point, 00:03:31.713 --> 00:03:32.454 I think we go into a 00:03:32.493 --> 00:03:33.514 spiritual adultery that a 00:03:33.675 --> 00:03:38.736 lot of times relates to physical, 00:03:38.796 --> 00:03:41.277 emotional, financial abuse. 00:03:43.078 --> 00:03:45.979 and the question is always 00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:48.060 I'm going to honor my vows 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:49.420 but now I'm running into 00:03:49.461 --> 00:03:51.602 people who have honored 00:03:51.681 --> 00:03:53.361 this vow to the point of 00:03:53.421 --> 00:03:56.462 insanity 40 50 years of 00:03:56.522 --> 00:04:01.724 marriage and normally what 00:04:01.745 --> 00:04:03.045 I've dealt with is a woman 00:04:04.021 --> 00:04:05.323 is very unhappy. 00:04:05.383 --> 00:04:07.003 The woman now is lashing out. 00:04:07.044 --> 00:04:10.085 The woman now is, is, is them bubbled over, 00:04:10.125 --> 00:04:11.126 is them boiled over. 00:04:11.225 --> 00:04:12.866 And now she's even acting 00:04:13.507 --> 00:04:14.807 contrary to her faith 00:04:14.867 --> 00:04:16.247 because she can't take anymore. 00:04:16.949 --> 00:04:19.670 And then when you hear the story that, uh, 00:04:20.149 --> 00:04:22.031 this has been going on this 00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:23.891 level of abuse and it could be either way, 00:04:23.971 --> 00:04:25.632 male or female back and forth. 00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:26.134 Okay. 00:04:26.173 --> 00:04:26.793 Husband and wife, 00:04:27.747 --> 00:04:28.829 But I hear this more from 00:04:28.848 --> 00:04:30.048 the wise point of view. 00:04:30.470 --> 00:04:31.149 This abuse, 00:04:31.209 --> 00:04:32.271 this level of abuse has been 00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:33.711 going on for decades. 00:04:35.471 --> 00:04:36.153 And now they come to the 00:04:36.173 --> 00:04:37.252 conclusion they can't take anymore. 00:04:38.314 --> 00:04:39.834 So they go from being abused 00:04:39.915 --> 00:04:41.896 to almost being the abuser 00:04:41.975 --> 00:04:42.896 to make up for the lost 00:04:42.956 --> 00:04:44.617 time of peace and tranquility. 00:04:46.197 --> 00:04:48.379 And I think the church needs 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.641 to address this because too 00:04:51.661 --> 00:04:52.521 many women are sitting in 00:04:52.541 --> 00:04:54.423 the pews and their heart is broken. 00:04:54.742 --> 00:04:55.803 Their spirit is broken. 00:04:56.569 --> 00:05:01.552 They feel less than, and they're married. 00:05:01.833 --> 00:05:02.553 There has not been any 00:05:02.613 --> 00:05:03.675 transgression of the church 00:05:03.714 --> 00:05:05.675 against their male counterpart, 00:05:06.315 --> 00:05:07.797 but they don't even feel loved anymore. 00:05:08.218 --> 00:05:09.278 They don't even feel cared for. 00:05:09.778 --> 00:05:11.680 But there was a time when 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.420 his husband was a hunter, 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.041 and that's what I want to get into. 00:05:17.023 --> 00:05:19.605 There are guys out here who are hunters, 00:05:20.646 --> 00:05:21.927 just like a natural hunter. 00:05:23.548 --> 00:05:25.329 The thrill is in the journey to hunt. 00:05:26.137 --> 00:05:27.759 in the elusiveness of the 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.541 prey the one who can't be 00:05:30.601 --> 00:05:31.963 captured the one who can't 00:05:32.004 --> 00:05:34.605 be tamed it's like the 00:05:34.625 --> 00:05:35.607 story the taming of the 00:05:35.666 --> 00:05:38.870 shrew the allure was this 00:05:38.990 --> 00:05:40.891 woman this red-headed woman 00:05:41.391 --> 00:05:43.274 was beyond any man's 00:05:43.514 --> 00:05:46.357 ability to control her well 00:05:46.716 --> 00:05:47.959 a lot of men that's what 00:05:47.999 --> 00:05:49.259 they do they're hunters 00:05:50.442 --> 00:05:51.923 and while they're hunting 00:05:52.163 --> 00:05:53.324 they'll do anything that 00:05:53.363 --> 00:05:54.324 needs to be done they'll 00:05:54.345 --> 00:05:55.266 show you a good time 00:05:55.725 --> 00:05:56.526 they'll show you love and 00:05:56.547 --> 00:05:57.526
Pastor J. from Walk in Truth Radio Network and T.Drake of God's Gift Through His Word chop it up. We are discussing relationships between women and men. Pastor J. and I just love having conversations about this topic. In this episode we dive into discovering if a womwomwoman has a hunter or a husband. We provide information and insight but, the choice is up to you. Be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove and move accordingly. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
All right. Hello, hello, everyone. How are you doing tonight? I hope you are doing well. And you see the lights, we're going to get into our message about making your decision. We're going to talk about it. And first of all, let me get myself into this live on my other device. So I can be part of the conversation with our Bible study. So we're going to do that real quick. Make sure I mute my house. There's no weird noises coming. Take that down. Hopefully that helps out. We'll see what happens. Okay. I think we should be good to go. Turn that all the way down so there's no extra Background noise. Okay. Okay. Well, here we go. Do this here. All right. Boom. Here we go. So let me close this one off for a minute. You just want to get the minute. So right now we're just going to get into this. And before we do, I am going to go ahead and have our music. And then when I come back, we'll get into this message and we'll pray and we'll do our thing. OK, so you know what I'm going to do. Here we go. All right, so I am back. And what I'm going to do right now is I am going to go ahead and pull up my screen. So we're going to talk about making a decision. So we're going to go and jump into James. So let me go ahead and pull that up. Let me present my screen so I can let you guys see what I will be reading. It wasn't working. I can't even say it. So let's do that. All right. And look, you guys, I figured it out. Oh, yeah. Okay. So we are here. So I'm going to go ahead and read that. Hopefully you guys can see it. And we're going to be in, of course, James chapter 1, verses 2 through 8. And it reads as such, my brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience, but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, With no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. So let me go ahead and pause the cause. Let's go ahead and pray before I get into the rest of our message and our scripture. Holy Father, Lord, I thank you right now. for this time to be with you, Lord God, to be in your word. I pray that this message, Lord God, would bless someone and help them, encourage them along their way. Lord God, as you show us, Lord God, in your word, what you would have us to do, Lord, let us not have you in our life as an afterthought. Lord, let us consult you in every decision that we make. And Lord, when we make the decision, Lord, let us stand on it. Let us walk by faith and not by what we see, Lord God, and help us to trust Lord God, that you will redirect us if we're going the wrong way. Lord, I thank you for the time and this allowance for God. Just to share a little bit of this word with Lord, these are precious, amazing, and lovely people. Lord, I thank you for the meeting of different people. I thank you for a beautiful day today. Lord, I thank you for the friends and family. Lord, I thank you for the roof over my head and the things that you have provided for me. Lord, it is not lost on me and I don't forget it. Lord God, I don't want to ever Thank you, Lord God, that I did anything on my own. Because, Lord God, that would be false and a fallacy. So, Lord, as I go ahead and share, Lord, let the Holy Spirit have his way on today. In the name of your precious son, Jesus, I pray. Amen. All right. So, as we've read that, let me go ahead and pull up our next set of scriptures. And I will jump in that. We think it will do it better this way. Let me do it. I'll do it like this. Okay. This. Two. Like what? And three. One, two, and three. Yes, okay. So we are going to be in Proverbs 16. We're going to use this passage as well. Only verses one through three. And it says, the preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the ways of man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. So let's see what a different translation of this says. Let's jump over to the ESV. Is that ESV? It kind of says the same things. Okay, they kind of say similar stuff. Okay, I thought it would say something different. Anyway, that's okay. Don't worry. Okay, well, we're back to the NKJV. All right, so I just want to see if it says something similar to that same thing. So with that, I wanted to just share about when we have to make decision. When you have to make a decision and you might feel or thinking yourself, well, is this the correct decision? Give me just a second. Okay, here we go. I think I'm going to pull this down now because I have shared it. So I am going to leave. All right. Okay. We are back. So when you think that you're making a decision and you don't know whether it's correct or not, sometimes you can have that kind of doubt. Like, did the Lord want me to go this way? Did the Lord really tell me to do this? I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't have done this. Whatever the case may be. First, we have to think about how your decision was made. If you made your decision without the Lord and you thought, well, talking to the Lord, that's an afterthought. I will talk and consult God after I've made a decision. Now you've got these doubts in your head, like, shouldn't I have made the decision? Because when you've prayed about it and you bring God into your plans way before you do anything, like in Proverbs where it says, commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. You figure to go ahead and lay down your decision at the feet of the Lord and you let him know what you're going to do. Before you even make the decision, you already know the Lord knows what you're going to do, but it just gives you a peace of mind as well, knowing that you're putting this very serious decision that you're about to make in front of him. You're laying it there. You're like, okay, Lord, I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm going to pray about it. Well, you pray. You may not always get an answer directly. You may not always hear it, but If you know inside yourself that you believe that's the right thing to do, you've prayed about it, you've committed to that decision, and now you've got to get in your scripture. You get in your scripture, you read your word, because you've prayed already, you've brought the Lord into it, you are seeking in the word to hear from him. And now you need to count the cost. You need to figure out with the circumstance that is surrounding that decision, have you thought about everything circumspectly all the way around 360, you're looking at that whole thing. And if you've done that, then you want to make sure that you're seeking someone who is wise in the word, wise in the Lord, seeking someone that has wisdom, some wise counsel when you're making your decision. And I know I do that for some things that I do. I seek wise counsel. I don't just want to make a decision haphazardly. You don't want to do that because sometimes when you do those, and you do make decisions haphazardly, that can have some serious repercussions in your life. And sometimes those repercussions, they continue to produce results for a long time. And if they're really bad decisions, they produce really unhappy and perhaps even unhealthy results that just keep producing for a while after you've made that decision. So we always have to be concerned if we talk to someone who has wise counsel, seek a good friend, a pastor, somebody to let know, what are you thinking about this? Does this sound like a wise decision? And then we want to let the Holy Spirit guide us. You want to let the Holy Spirit guide you and then after that you just trust, walk by faith and not by sight. You're going to trust in what you have asked and you're going to trust in whatever decision you're sticking to. And then You need to trust and obey that. Just go with that. So I'm going to sing a little bit of that song, just a little bit, okay? And then after that, a couple of verses, I'm just going to sing the trust and obey. Yeah. So let me get up some of that so that I can do that. And then we'll go to the other portion of our stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I'm going to sing a couple of verses from Trust and Obey. Okay, here we go. When we walk with the Lord and the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way. While we do his goodwill, he abides with us still. And with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus. But to trust and obey. Not a shadow can rise. Not a cloud in the skies. But his smile quickly drives it away. Not a doubt or a fear. Not a sigh or a tear can abide while we trust and obey. Oh, trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. So let's sing that one part, that last part again. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy, Jesus, but to trust and obey. Sometimes you have to trust and obey exactly what the Lord would have you to do. And when you don't, you start to struggle. You start to change and flip-flop, wishy-washy, and be double-minded. And you don't want to be that way. You want to make that decision. Be decisive. and say, Lord, this is what I'm coming to you with. I'm praying, I'm in my word. And when you've done all those things, you have really taken time to really focus and bring everything in front of the Lord, not after the fact you brought him in before and you're committing your works, you're committing everything and your thoughts will be established as the word says. So you're not thinking about the Lord after everything's done and now the decisions turn weird. And you're like, okay, Lord, I should have really prayed and thought about that. No, we need to always pray about everything. Seek the Lord on everything. First and foremost, have him before you call a friend, before you phone a friend, before you phone a help. Call him because he is your help. Talk to him first. Lay it on the line first with him and let him know what you're doing. And you already know, you know, but you still put it before because you are to do that. We are all to put all of our decisions before the Lord, before we just go out and just do whatever. And then wonder, I don't know why that happened. Right. So. Excuse me. I just I just really know that when we make a decision, we really have to just remember that we're going to walk it out in faith. We're going to walk it out in faith, not be double minded. And know that if we are going the wrong way and say, hey, I don't know if this was the right way. I went the wrong way. The Lord is really good about fixing that. The Lord is really good about fixing your direction, course correction, all of that. He's really good at doing that. So for some of you that are like, oh, I don't know. I don't really know if I should or not. Can I tell you? And pardon me, I'm going to take a little drink. Pause for the cause. I'll get refreshing water. So you got to know that you taking the Lord into these things with you is so important. It's imperative that we do that and don't have the Lord be an afterthought because he directs your path, right? The word tells us In Proverbs 3 through. Let me see. I want to make sure. I always say chapter 3. Verses 5 through 6. That's right. Yes it does. It says trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him. And he will direct your path. So you got to have a man. Before you do anything. You don't want to lean on your own understanding. Thinking you know. And you're. You're already doubting, like, I don't know. I don't know if this is the right thing to do. Well, that's because you didn't consult God. So now you're a little shaky about your decision. Not like the Lord can't fix it, not like the Lord can't settle that. But sometimes if we do that ahead of time, it kind of takes the angst and anxiety out of things. And also the word tells us, be not anxious for anything but in prayer and supplication. Make a request, but you may know it to the Lord. So whatever you're thinking about or seeking, you've got to bring him in. You've got to pray about it. You have to do those things and be in your word. So also in Proverbs 16, verse 9, it says, a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. The Lord is going to guide you. He's going to move you. He's going to help you. He's going to take you where you need to go. And because he's going to do that, you don't have to worry. You don't have to wonder. The Lord's going to take care of that very decision. So when you've done all the things and you still have that feeling of, okay, I did pray. I did seek wife's counsel. I was in the word. I did all the things, and I know I'm going to let the Holy Spirit just guide me and let me go the way I need to go, but somehow I'm still unsure. And sometimes you can be unsure when it comes to the unknown, right? We don't have a crystal ball. We are to really truly walk by faith, not by what the natural sees. Not like, well, the situation is kind of horrible, so, ugh. You got to walk by faith. It's the only way. And trust that the Lord is going to lead and guide you. He knows what's best for you before you even think that you know what's best for you. And this particular message came about because I spoke to a dear sister in Christ and she was making some decisions and she was wondering, did I make the right decision? And sometimes when you're moving into unknown areas, uncertain territories, you have to wonder because you're moving from familiar to unfamiliar. You have no idea what's over in the unknown territory. You know what's in your current spot, but you have no idea what's going on over there in a spot, in a place, in a space that you've never embarked upon. It's a little bit nerve wracking. It's a little bit unsettling. And to be honest, hey, it's downright scary. You're making a move. And it's just like, okay, I'm doing something. I'm not sure if this is the right thing. And you want to make sure you're doing what the Lord would have you do. You d
Life will always have challenges but, do not let it get you down. Sometimes people will never understand what you have been through. You can only share your experiences. That may help others to understand but, they still may not be able to relate. You just keep showing up being who you are!!!!

Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. So let's see what a different translation of this says. Let's jump over to the ESV. Is that ESV? It kind of says the same things. Okay, they kind of say similar stuff. Okay, I thought it would say something different. Anyway, that's okay. Don't worry. Okay, well, we're back to the NKJV. All right, so I just want to see if it says something similar to that same thing. So with that, I wanted to just share about when we have to make decision. When you have to make a decision and you might feel or thinking yourself, well, is this the correct decision? Give me just a second. Okay, here we go. I think I'm going to pull this down now because I have shared it. So I am going to leave. All right. Okay. We are back. So when you think that you're making a decision and you don't know whether it's correct or not, sometimes you can have that kind of doubt. Like, did the Lord want me to go this way? Did the Lord really tell me to do this? I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't have done this. Whatever the case may be. First, we have to think about how your decision was made. If you made your decision without the Lord and you thought, well, talking to the Lord, that's an afterthought. I will talk and consult God after I've made a decision. Now you've got these doubts in your head, like, shouldn't I have made the decision? Because when you've prayed about it and you bring God into your plans way before you do anything, like in Proverbs where it says, commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. You figure to go ahead and lay down your decision at the feet of the Lord and you let him know what you're going to do. Before you even make the decision, you already know the Lord knows what you're going to do, but it just gives you a peace of mind as well, knowing that you're putting this very serious decision that you're about to make in front of him. You're laying it there. You're like, okay, Lord, I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm going to pray about it. Well, you pray. You may not always get an answer directly. You may not always hear it, but If you know inside yourself that you believe that's the right thing to do, you've prayed about it, you've committed to that decision, and now you've got to get in your scripture. You get in your scripture, you read your word, because you've prayed already, you've brought the Lord into it, you are seeking in the word to hear from him. And now you need to count the cost. You need to figure out with the circumstance that is surrounding that decision, have you thought about everything circumspectly all the way around 360, you're looking at that whole thing. And if you've done that, then you want to make sure that you're seeking someone who is wise in the word, wise in the Lord, seeking someone that has wisdom, some wise counsel when you're making your decision. And I know I do that for some things that I do. I seek wise counsel. I don't just want to make a decision haphazardly. You don't want to do that because sometimes when you do those, and you do make decisions haphazardly, that can have some serious repercussions in your life. And sometimes those repercussions, they continue to produce results for a long time. And if they're really bad decisions, they produce really unhappy and perhaps even unhealthy results that just keep producing for a while after you've made that decision. So we always have to be concerned if we talk to someone who has wise counsel, seek a good friend, a pastor, somebody to let know, what are you thinking about this? Does this sound like a wise decision? And then we want to let the Holy Spirit guide us. You want to let the Holy Spirit guide you and then after that you just trust, walk by faith and not by sight. You're going to trust in what you have asked and you're going to trust in whatever decision you're sticking to. And then You need to trust and obey that. Just go with that. So I'm going to sing a little bit of that song, just a little bit, okay? And then after that, a couple of verses, I'm just going to sing the trust and obey. Yeah. So let me get up some of that so that I can do that. And then we'll go to the other portion of our stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I'm going to sing a couple of verses from Trust and Obey. Okay, here we go. When we walk with the Lord and the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way. While we do his goodwill, he abides with us still. And with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus. But to trust and obey. Not a shadow can rise. Not a cloud in the skies. But his smile quickly drives it away. Not a doubt or a fear. Not a sigh or a tear can abide while we trust and obey. Oh, trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. So let's sing that one part, that last part again. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy, Jesus, but to trust and obey. Sometimes you have to trust and obey exactly what the Lord would have you to do. And when you don't, you start to struggle. You start to change and flip-flop, wishy-washy, and be double-minded. And you don't want to be that way. You want to make that decision. Be decisive. and say, Lord, this is what I'm coming to you with. I'm praying, I'm in my word. And when you've done all those things, you have really taken time to really focus and bring everything in front of the Lord, not after the fact you brought him in before and you're committing your works, you're committing everything and your thoughts will be established as the word says. So you're not thinking about the Lord after everything's done and now the decisions turn weird. And you're like, okay, Lord, I should have really prayed and thought about that. No, we need to always pray about everything. Seek the Lord on everything. First and foremost, have him before you call a friend, before you phone a friend, before you phone a help. Call him because he is your help. Talk to him first. Lay it on the line first with him and let him know what you're doing. And you already know, you know, but you still put it before because you are to do that. We are all to put all of our decisions before the Lord, before we just go out and just do whatever. And then wonder, I don't know why that happened. Right. So. Excuse me. I just I just really know that when we make a decision, we really have to just remember that we're going to walk it out in faith. We're going to walk it out in faith, not be double minded. And know that if we are going the wrong way and say, hey, I don't know if this was the right way. I went the wrong way. The Lord is really good about fixing that. The Lord is really good about fixing your direction, course correction, all of that. He's really good at doing that. So for some of you that are like, oh, I don't know. I don't really know if I should or not. Can I tell you? And pardon me, I'm going to take a little drink. Pause for the cause. I'll get refreshing water. So you got to know that you taking the Lord into these things with you is so important. It's imperative that we do that and don't have the Lord be an afterthought because he directs your path, right? The word tells us In Proverbs 3 through. Let me see. I want to make sure. I always say chapter 3. Verses 5 through 6. That's right. Yes it does. It says trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him. And he will direct your path. So you got to have a man. Before you do anything. You don't want to lean on your own understanding. Thinking you know. And you're. You're already doubting, like, I don't know. I don't know if this is the right thing to do. Well, that's because you didn't consult God. So now you're a little shaky about your decision. Not like the Lord can't fix it, not like the Lord can't settle that. But sometimes if we do that ahead of time, it kind of takes the angst and anxiety out of things. And also the word tells us, be not anxious for anything but in prayer and supplication. Make a request, but you may know it to the Lord. So whatever you're thinking about or seeking, you've got to bring him in. You've got to pray about it. You have to do those things and be in your word. So also in Proverbs 16, verse 9, it says, a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. The Lord is going to guide you. He's going to move you. He's going to help you. He's going to take you where you need to go. And because he's going to do that, you don't have to worry. You don't have to wonder. The Lord's going to take care of that very decision. So when you've done all the things and you still have that feeling of, okay, I did pray. I did seek wife's counsel. I was in the word. I did all the things, and I know I'm going to let the Holy Spirit just guide me and let me go the way I need to go, but somehow I'm still unsure. And sometimes you can be unsure when it comes to the unknown, right? We don't have a crystal ball. We are to really truly walk by faith, not by what the natural sees. Not like, well, the situation is kind of horrible, so, ugh. You got to walk by faith. It's the only way. And trust that the Lord is going to lead and guide you. He knows what's best for you before you even think that you know what's best for you. And this particular message came about because I spoke to a dear sister in Christ and she was making some decisions and she was wondering, did I make the right decision? And sometimes when you're moving into unknown areas, uncertain territories, you have to wonder because you're moving from familiar to unfamiliar. You have no idea what's over in the unknown territory. You know what's in your current spot, but you have no idea what's going on over there in a spot, in a place, in a space that you've never embarked upon. It's a little bit nerve wracking. It's a little bit unsettling. And to be honest, hey, it's downright scary. You're making a move. And it's just like, okay, I'm doing something. I'm not sure if this is the right thing. And you want to make sure you're doing what the Lord would have you d --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ggthw/message

Alright, hello, hello everyone. How are you doing? So, it is late night and of course I am on sharing and this is going to be the start of my 16th days. But before we get into this, you guys know what I'm going to do. What I'm going to do, I'm going to go ahead and get the theme music and then we'll come back and talk about our topic, which is... Don't let abuse change you. Definitely don't want to do that. So let me be quiet and here we go. Alright, I am back with you guys. So yes, I was just giving you a slight intro into the title of this particular podcast slash content slash stream and it is called Don't Let Abuse Change You. So definitely don't want to do that. So I wanted to talk about that because there's just there's always something that needs to be talked about. And because I have just done that PBS special with those lovely ladies and Miss Laura Flanders. I wanted to still continue talking about that because there's other abuses that happen and sometimes we kind of don't talk about any of them. But in particular, we'll be talking just about general abuse. And I think we're going to just tailor this one to, of course, domestic violence. It might go somewhere else as well, but for now, we'll just do that. So before we get started, I normally... do bible studies on here but and not on here because I haven't been on in a while but normally do my bible studies whenever I'm going live but today I will be pulling a little bit of scripture and hopefully during this entire 60 days, I will definitely be utilizing more scripture, and I'll be definitely using John 15 for a lot of this with the relationship between Christ, the relationship between others, the relationship between the world, and definitely want to talk about that. But we're going to go ahead and just jump into this topic right now. So we do have a purpose and you have a purpose I have a purpose the lord has set a purpose for us long before our parents even knew who we were and sometimes going along our journey we run into abuse And you could either have abuse in family, abuse with relationships with significant others. You could have abuse in all myriad ways and different venues and different places and spaces in your life. And sometimes those different types of abuse, they can cause a lot of damage. And we know it. I know it. You know it. And those damages can be mental and emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual, digital, and they're hard to deal with. And as I share with you guys, I share from a lot of experience of having to really navigate the abuse of And I'm not going to put a trigger warning on here because I'm hoping I'm not going to say anything triggering. If I do, I might go back and edit it to say trigger warning, but I'm hoping this is benign enough that it doesn't cause anyone to be triggered. But if you are, if something happens, doesn't sound right or it troubles you please turn this off take care of yourself because I definitely want you to do that I don't think I'm going to be bringing up a whole bunch of things uh as far as the situation of of old abuse so it should be okay So when I talk about this, and I talk about it for a myriad of reasons, not because I'm trying to give myself a pity party and not because I'm trying to put anybody on blast, but I am trying to help others to be aware and be cognizant of abuse. And as long as I have breath to talk about it and speak about it, I will. So when I was going through my different abuses and domestic violence in my life, it was just easier to bury all of it. And some of the abuses I went through when I was younger kind of led to the abuse that I had when I was older and all these different things, kind of these escapes. And when I look back, I saw that I was trying to navigate and handle That was harmful to me. And it wasn't always easy. So sometimes people will think that you're just doing stuff and they have things to say about you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ggthw/message
