[Galatians 5:25 NIV] Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.It is possible to ___________________ the promptings of the Spirit.[Acts 16:6-8] Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. 7 Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north for the province of Bithynia, but again the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. 8 So instead, they went on through Mysia to the seaport of Troas.Sometimes the Holy Spirit ___________________ our direction.[Acts 16:9-12] That night Paul had a vision: A man from Macedonia in northern Greece was standing there, pleading with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!" 10 So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there. 11 We boarded a boat at Troas and sailed straight across to the island of Samothrace, and the next day we landed at Neapolis. 12 From there we reached Philippi, a major city of that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. And we stayed there several days.We need to allow the Spirit to ___________________ us.[Acts 16:13-15] On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. 14 One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. 15 She was baptized along with other members of her household, and she asked us to be her guests. "If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord," she said, "come and stay at my home." And she urged us until we agreed.We need to ________ on God's direction not just _____________ it.[Acts 16:40] When Paul and Silas left the prison, they returned to the home of Lydia. There they met with the believers and encouraged them once more. Then they left town.Sometimes the Spirit doesn't give you the whole ____________, just the next _____________.[Galatians 6:4-5] Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.We can ___________________ from others, but we are not to ___________________ ourselves to others.[John 10:27] My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.If we're not walking with God ___________________ we won't recognize His ___________________.[Proverbs 19:21] You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail.The goal is not to follow ________ plans, but to follow His ________.[Philippians 4:6-7] Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.God's will and path is always accompanied by His _____________.If the situation is beyond _________ control, it's in ________ control.
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.” (Luke 18:1 NLT) Even if prayer were a difficult thing to do, which it is not, or an unpleasant thing to do, which it is not, we still would have every reason to pray because we are commanded in Scripture to do so. The apostle Paul wrote, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT). And Luke 18:1 tells us that Jesus used a story to show His followers “that they should always pray and never give up” (Luke 18:1 NLT). Prayer is God’s appointed way for us to obtain things. This doesn’t mean that God is like some big Santa in Heaven. He’s not standing by, ready to grant our every wish. Prayer concerns something much more important: our needs. God invites us to take our every need to Him. We see it in Paul’s words in Philippians 4. We see it in David’s psalms. We see it in Jesus’ alone time with His Father. We see it in the lives of countless Bible characters. Whatever was on their minds, whatever was in their path, whatever was impacting their lives, God wanted them to involve Him in it. Jesus said, “Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need” (Matthew 6:9–11 NLT). If you need it, God wants you to tell Him about it. Do you have needs right now? Pray about it. Do you need His provision? Pray about it. Do you need His healing touch? Pray about it. Go to God with your requests, and your heavenly Father, who knows you need these things, will hear you. James wrote, “You do not have because you do not ask God” (James 4:2 NIV). Think about that. You might ask, “Why is it that I never know what the will of God is for my life?” Answer: You do not have because you do not ask God. You might ask, “Why is it that I never have the opportunity to lead people to the Lord?” Answer: You do not have because you do not ask God. You might ask, “Why don’t I feel more confident when I face spiritual battles?” Answer: You do not have because you do not ask God. I wonder how many answers to prayer would be waiting for us if we were to just pray about things. What would happen if we just said, “Lord, I’ve never actually brought this before You, but I’m praying about it now.” The worst-case scenario is that God will say no. But what if God says yes? Reflection question: What need will you take to God in prayer today?

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT) Fight fire with fire. That’s what you do when you find yourself in a spiritual battle. Your enemy will be firing spiritual weapons such as temptation, guilt, doubt, and fear. To keep him on the defensive, you must use spiritual weapons as well. The apostle Paul wrote, “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments” (2 Corinthians 10:3–4 NLT). Let’s take fear, for instance, one of the devil’s most effective weapons. If he can get you to worry about something—more specifically, if he can get you worked up over nothing—he has the upper hand in battle. Have you ever noticed how completely worthless worry is? It can absolutely can devastate you. It’s like a rocking chair. You’re always moving but never getting anywhere. You just start worrying about this. You start worrying about that. What if this and what if that? What are you supposed to do? Look at what Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6–7: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (NLT). That’s fighting fire with fire. When you feel fear creeping into your thoughts, when you start asking, “What if this happens?” or “What if that happens?” make sure you battle back with your spiritual weapon of prayer. Instead of giving worry a toehold in your mind, simply say, “I don’t know what’s going to happen. But, Lord, I’m committing it to You right now. I don’t know how to handle this. I don’t know how to deal with it. But I know that You do. And I know that you are unimaginably greater than whatever may happen. So, I put this into Your hands.” Let’s say that makes you feel good for about five minutes. And then another fear rears its ugly head. What do you do then? You say, “Lord, here’s another problem for you.” And you keep doing it as often as needed. Prayer isn’t an express lane at the supermarket. There isn’t a twelve-item limit. Every time you humbly and faithfully take another fear or worry to the Lord as part of your spiritual battle, you draw closer to and strengthen your relationship with Him. Prayer allows you to see your fears in their proper light. If you see God for who He is, you’ll see your fears and problems for what they are—spiritual weapons that work only when you try to counter them with non-spiritual weapons. In Jeremiah 32:27, God says, “I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?” (NLT). The answer, of course, is no. So, if you’re fighting a spiritual battle right now, take it to God. Reflection question: What might keep you from taking a problem or worry to God in prayer?

After 25 years in business, he uncovered a radical truth: most pain, mental illness, sickness, and trauma aren't rooted in physical or emotional causes, but in the spiritual realm. By identifying and removing the specific spiritual roots behind these struggles, he's helped over1,000 people find freedom from things like chronic pain, anxiety, addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even bipolar disorder—issues that medical science often can't resolve. Once the root is gone, the problem typically disappears in less than 24 hours—with a documented 90% success rate. Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at www.ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com. Today, he'll expose why so many people stay stuck—and how anyone can experience real, lasting healing by targeting the root issue most others overlook. http://ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com “To get freedom in your life, get a copy of The Prayer of Freedom today.

Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic [00:01:00] violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hello everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. Last time we were talking with my guest, Beatty Carmichael. He has his book that we are talking about. We were talking about his book, the Prayer of Freedom, and he's developed a way of praying for healing where God answers. Those prayers 87% of the time. So if you were here last time, you know that he is a dynamic speaker. He has, shown us a lot of things so far and I want to give him as much time as [00:02:00] possible to, to continue to share with us how we can incorporate this into. Healing again, I'm gonna mention for the second time, this is, not a replacement for medical treatment. Please, incorporate this in with your physician, your psychiatrist, your pharmacist. Do not discontinue any medications or stop any treatments without the advice of your medical team. I'm not gonna go into Beatty's bio once again for time's sake. But if you did not listen to part one, please go back and listen to the previous episode so you get a full picture. There's a lot of information that you don't wanna miss, and so we're gonna jump right in here to. Part two of my conversation with Beatie Carmichael. Enjoy. So let's assume that we have some atheists on your com, on your podcast as well. You don't have to believe it to try it, [00:03:00] right. That's the key. Um, I don't believe putting gas in my car is gonna make it run, but I'll try it and it runs. Or the doctor gives me, uh, some medicine. I've been having this chronic issue for years and he said, try this. It'll take it away in two days. I don't believe it, but it doesn't matter if I believe it, if it's based on science. If I take the medicine, it's going to clear that issue up in two days, whether I believe it or not. And so that's the way. So I would challenge any atheist on this one, right on this prayer approach. Tell God, God, I don't believe you. I don't even believe you exist. You're gonna have to prove it. I'm gonna follow this process, but know that I don't even believe you exist. So these are just words coming outta my mouth and see what happens. I am definitely gonna send my atheist friends this conversation. Good. You know, I'll let you know what [00:04:00] happens. Well then if you're gonna send your atheist friends this conversation, can I role play with you the prayer that I would have them pray so now they can follow this conversation and actually do it on their own and see if there's a Absolutely. Okay. Perfect. So let me ask you a couple of questions. Diana, do you have right now. Any pain, any uh, anything going on that you can feel and measure, like de depression or anxiety, migraine, anything that doesn't work, like your right arm doesn't work, or you have glaucoma in your left eye or anything like that? Uh, yeah, my feet hurt today. Okay. And, uh, right now, do they hurt when you're sitting like you are, or do you have to stand up for them to hurt more? No, they're when I'm up moving around and doing things. Okay. But you can feel them right now with pain, right? Yes. Okay. On a scale of zero to 10, 10 being worse, what pain level [00:05:00] would you give it? Mm, right now it's a three. Okay, perfect. So what I wanna do is I wanna lead you into a short prayer. You just repeat after me. I'm gonna use the word God only. We're not gonna use any other deity names. Uh. For the sake of anyone else that may be listening, that may not be a Christian, but they may be a Buddhist or whatever. Okay? And while this works, I will state that I believe it works because of the God of the Bible and there's some very clear reasons why, but he doesn't care what you call him because he is still the God of the Bible. So we're gonna take that premise. And what I'm gonna do, Diane, is I'm gonna lead you in this prayer. For your atheist friends and also for the audience that's listening to this, I want you to assess, do you have any pain, any anxiety, any depression, anything going on that you would like God to heal if God really existed? And if yes, go on and label it on a zero to 10 [00:06:00] scale with 10 being worse, what number it is, and then just repeat after me as I go through this. Now, Diana, what I'm gonna do with you. Is there's gonna be a part where you're going to repeat out whatever the Lord's putting on your mind of sins to confess. I'm gonna have you mute your microphone so that we're not airing dirty laundry, okay? Uh, that way there's no restriction for whatever the Lord's putting on your heart. So this is what I call a four step prayer. This is just the beginning of the full thing of the prayer freedom. So it goes like this. A repeat after me. Uh, Diana, uh, dear God. Dear God, if you exist, I want you to prove it to me. If you exist, I want you to prove it to me. I have this issue I want you to get rid of. I have this issue I want you to get rid of, and then you would name it for you would be the pain in my foot, right? Yes. The pain in my foot. Okay. [00:07:00] I ask that you would remind me and put in my mind. I ask that you would remind me and put in my mind any sin I need to repent of against you, any sin that I would need to repent against you or any person I need to forgive or any person I need to forgive and I commit that I will repent or forgive them and I commit that I'll repent and forgive them. Perfect. Now put your, uh, go on mute so that no one can hear anything. So now what you want to do, anything that the Lord may be putting on your mind. If it was a sin, and for people who don't know, all that means is you know you did something wrong. Okay, so the words are I repent of blank. I repent of stealing the money. If you stole the money with someone, I repent of stealing the money with Tom. Always put the person's name. If you don't remember the person's name, [00:08:00] I repent of stealing the money with the guy in the blue hat. Just whatever the description was. If God is putting in your mind someone to forgive. You're going to say, I forgive Tom for what he said. I forgive. Blank for blank. Okay. So go on and do that, Diana. And then when you finish, unmute yourself. That's right. But that's where the mouth readers good. Good job for the audio listener. She's got her hand over her mouth so we can't read her lips. And for the audio listeners, y'all would be going through the same prayer yourself, repenting and forgiving. Okay. My list is short, so Perfect. Good. Alright. Now I'm assuming it probably included someone's name somewhere along the way. Right. Okay, perfect. So now we'll continue and I break all unholy soul ties with, I Break All Unholy Soul ties with. I release all judgements [00:09:00] against, I release all judgements against and break any unholy blood contracts. I'll guide, I'll you what these are in a moment and break any unholy blood contracts, blood contracts with with those names. I have called out with those names. I've called out and now God and now God. I ask that you take all my, for you pain in my feet away. I ask that you take, um, the pain in my feet away, take it from a three to a zero, take it from a three to a zero, and now I speak to the pain that's in my feet. Now I speak to the pain that's in my feet and in the name of Almighty God. In the name of Almighty God, I command you to leave. I command you to leave. Get out now. Get out now. Now test it out and see if it's still a three [00:10:00] or is it changed? I would not say it's a three anymore. Can you feel it at all? I would say it's a one. Perfect. It's not a three. Alright. So definitely, definitely an improvement. So it dropped by two thirds simply by saying that one prayer, which is repenting. So now we're gonna push it all the way up. 'cause I find you have to do it about three times. We don't do the whole prayer again. All we do is the last part. So let me guide you, God, I ask that you take this all the way out right now. Ask you to take this all the way out right now, and I speak to the pain and I command you all the way out right now, and I speak to the pain and I command you all the way out right now in the name of Almighty God, in the name of Almighty God. Go from a one to a zero. Go from a one to a zero. All right, now check it out and see if it's still there. Well, [00:11:00] it's, um, zero in the left foot, but I still feel a little bit in the right foot. Yeah, so now we're going to do, do it one more time, but on now, if only for the right foot. God, I ask that you take it all the way out of my right foot. Now, God, I ask you to take this out of my right foot right now. And in Almighty God's name, in Almighty God's name. I speak to the pain in my right foot. I speak to the pain in my right foot, and I command you out right now. And I command you out right now. Be gone. Be gone now. Check it out again. Well, I'm just gonna be honest. Here. Um, please do I hate someone to lie to me. No, I've never that way. I know. I'm just seizing. I I know. I'm just seizing you that it's still in the one on the right foot. Okay. But I still think that's an [00:12:00] improvement over three. Yeah, for sure. It'll probably by the time we finish on our call, I'll probably be gone. But what happens now is demonstrably all you did was a structured prayer. You got a consistent response that I always see. So what that means is there is a, some spiritual law that this is plugging into and that spiritual law always works. Uh, no, excuse me. I found that for me about nine outta 10 times, it works okay. There's some things that it doesn't, um, that I can't figure out on a, on a few things. Now, if you have something like multiple sclerosis or stage four cancer. It probably isn't as likely to work as if you just have anxiety or a chronic pain somewhere. Um mm-hmm. You probably won't believe it, but I'll show you the testimony if you wanna watch it. So this was about four, four or five weeks ago. I was over at the Addiction Recovery Center and one of the ladies, uh, had just come out of, shoulder [00:13:00] surgery. And the story is. Three years ago, she had a car accident. She broke her AC and her collarbone, but because she didn't have any insurance, they just gave her a sling, and so she held it in the sling and it sat like that. So she's in excruciating pain with no movement for three years. When she came to the Addiction Recovery Center, they have insurance, so they went to see an orthopedic surgeon. He says, I can fix it, but it's gonna be really invasive. It's gonna hurt. And so he had to drill through the bones, break them apart, reset them and wire them together. And then that's where she was now four weeks post-surgery. So she's in a lot of pain. Arm in the sling. I guided her through the very same prayer. I guided you, God, remind me of things I need to repent of. And then I said, test it out. And she said, well, it doesn't feel as bad. She starts moving it around. I said, see what the range of motion is? So she starts to move it. The whole [00:14:00] range of motion, as she does all the pain, is now gone. She can do the full range of motion with her shoulder on both sides. She stops wearing the sling. And then two weeks later, which is her six week checkup, she goes back to the doctor. He's blown away because she has no pain and not only no pain, she has the full range of motion that she had since before the accident, and he was saying before the surgery it'll take 12 weeks to recover and then a lot of physical therapy to fully get it back in use. Yep. Yet it all happened like that. Why? Because there's spiritual laws that this karma concept, you know, the same concept that we see that people call karma. It's a real concept because there really are consequences to being doing bad things. But what we don't understand sometimes is how those consequences affect us because this was a car accident. So we say it was just a natural cause and effect, but the fact that she [00:15:00] repented of things that God put in her mind, that he said these were bad things that you should not have done, and when she repented the shoulder got healed, tells me. The root of even what happened with the, the car accident and the breaking the shoulder at the car accident was a spiritual root. So once you get rid of the root, you can get rid of the problem. And that's what I'm finding throughout all of this. And it's revolutionizing people from like, just last night I was, uh, doing a podcast with, another lady and I demonstrated this. I said, do you have anything that you can measure? She says, yeah, depression and anxiety. It was like an eight. We went through that very same thing and it all went to zero. She started to cry and then she said, I asked her, how long has she, has she had it? She said, well, you know, I grew up in an abusive family and I've had this since early childhood, and she has adult children now, so all of these years, and it's gone in an instant, [00:16:00] and she starts to cry both with the relief. Also like a friend of mine that I led through the same thing, uh, his dad committed suicide when he was like 11. And then, you know, the whole family dynamic is just full of trauma and all kinds of issues and he's been under this heavy clout. And it wasn't until he went through this process. Now for him it wasn't instantaneous. There was a more gradual over maybe a couple weeks or so for everything to just kind of free up in his life. But he was lamenting saying. I wish I'd known this 34 years ago. You know, how many years of Lost Life has he gone through when he could have gotten free of it had he just known how this worked? So it's really powerful. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I actually work in the orthopedics department. Oh, wow. So this really makes sense to you. Uh, yeah. I was watching the video about the guy he needed a hip replacement. Yeah. And so I thought, oh, [00:17:00] wow, that's, that hits home for sure. I'm always, ripping my rotator cuff. I've, I ripped it three times and had to do all the physical therapy and stuff, so I totally relate to that example that you gave. So can I share something all day? Mm-hmm. Sure. Anytime you see a pattern that keeps repeating itself, like you've ripped your rotator cuff three times, that tells me there's gonna be more than likely, I've got a 90% likelihood that there is a spiritual route. And if you were to go through the full process, so the full process with a prayer freedom is a worksheet in the back that you fill out and it's a memory jogger so that you can cover everything that is potentially possible. If you were to do that, I believe that whatever's going on with that, you'll not tear your rotator cuff again, just that point. Is it? I see the part, yeah. Most [00:18:00] of the time I get it. When I'm doing terrible form on my pushups or I, open the sliding glass door with a bad technique. Yeah, I, so if you're in orthopedics, you know about when you pull a ligament in your thumb, right? Mm-hmm. So I pulled a ligament in my thumb. I'm exercising all the time, so I use dumbbells and, free weights. Mm-hmm. And you have to grip. So as soon as that happened, I can't do any exercise. I can't even grip a five pound dumbbell, and it's going on for a week now. How long does do ligaments normally take to heal? Do you remember? Uh, six weeks at least. Yeah, at least six weeks. And I'm thinking I'm gonna be out of exercise for six weeks. Yeah. And then I said, you know, doctors are usually the last ones to try to apply their own approach to themselves. And I said. I wonder, Lord, if this has a spiritual root, it has a physical cause, right? I was carrying a chair and it twisted [00:19:00] in my arm. That was the physics of it. But is there a spiritual root behind it? So I said, Lord, remind me of any sin I need to repent of that could be tied to this. And he started reminding me of some things from a while back. Um, and I just repented that and, and it still hurt. I said, okay, that must not have been it. I wake up the next morning. It's all gone. So I start testing, I'm lifting heavy weights, and I'm pulling on and trying to pull the, you know, Ooh. And it's totally healed. I'm back to full exercise after only one week, so it even works for me. Wow. Yeah. So it you, the, the chair twisted and pulled it, but it was instantly healed or within a few hours by the next day simply by going through the same process. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind. Next time. Now people are listening and they're probably [00:20:00] wondering when you talk about repenting from, from things you did wrong, do you get any pushback with that? People that they don't want to, deal with what they've done wrong or they're offended that you brought it up or, yeah. Whatever. So, um. Lemme tell you a story to answer your question. There's this lady named Susan, and she had unforgiveness for her sister from about 20 years earlier. Mm-hmm. And for all 20 years, she knew she should forgive, but she was unable and unwilling to because whatever the sister did was just that painful to her. Right. So then she asked me if I would pray for her rheumatoid arthritis because she's had the arthritis for about 15 or 20 years, and that day was flaring up and I asked her, because God prompted me on this one, and I asked her, do you have unforgiveness for anyone? She said, yes, my sister. And I said, would you be willing to forgive her? Now watch this. [00:21:00] She wants to be healed. And so she said, yes. There was no question once there's the potential likelihood that she would be healed if she did it. So I just said, repeat this, God, I repent. I forgive my sister from whatever she did 20 years ago. And then I asked God to take away the pain of her arthritis. So I said, walk up and down the stairs and see if it helps. So she did. And she said, it feels a lot better. I said, okay, great. So I think you'll be good now. She caught it with me five weeks later and said, I wanna tell you the rest of the story. She said, ever since I prayed for her, she'd had no arthritis pain the week before, uh, that she talked with me. So this is now four weeks after I prayed with her. She said, I went back to the doctor and he retested me and says that my body, I have no arthritis in my body. Now. This is rheumatoid arthritis that she'd been diagnosed with 15 years earlier. Mm-hmm. And then she said. The [00:22:00] doctor said that my body shows no signs of ever having had arthritis to begin with. It's almost as if Wow, when, she did what God said to do, which is to forgive, that's a sin. If you don't forgive, then it's almost like God reversed everything. Put it back to normal. That's the same thing that happened with the lady with the shoulder issue. Mm-hmm. She said, my shoulder has a full range of motion as it did before the accident. It's as if it was ma. In fact, I can't show you, but she had a bone protruding right here that the Okay. Orthopedic surgeon couldn't put back in place. And after doing the prayer, the bone doesn't protrude anymore. She showed me a picture, here's what it looked like, and now here's what it is. And I go, wow. So all kinds of things can happen that we have no explanation for, but what I've learned is most people believe there's probably a God and that that God can probably do a miracle anytime he wants. What I find [00:23:00] is he simply does what we can call a miracle quite frequently when we. Go through this process and repent, say, I'm sorry, those things that he tells us to. So I do get pushback except for the people who want to be free of whatever it is they're struggling with. And then I get no pushback. Does that make sense? Well, oh yeah. And it is very much, Bible about the forgiveness. If you have bitterness against somebody and you hold that in your body. Your body feels that, and it, it does and it affects your entire body. It affects your mind when you are just, and you're not willing to move forward and forgive even if the person has asked for forgiveness. I'm sorry. That is, Bible right there that, and it's also if you be willing to forgive, then your body will heal. Yeah, and I was doing some research and science and other [00:24:00] studies, research studies find that between 40 and 60% of all chronic pain has a commonality of unforgiveness and bitterness that those people also carry, and mm-hmm. What I'm finding is if you get rid of that unforgiveness and bitterness, a lot of times that pain disappears. Yeah. Which is a direct cause and effect, right? Mm-hmm. It's a, it's a scientific empirical data. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. It, it work, it happens. And medical science and research is finding that out. Mm, yes. I'm glad that we're on the same page about that. We've talked about a lot of things today and heard some great stories. And, was there anything that, we didn't talk about that you wanted to cover? Without being too unabashedly promoting. I would like to talk about my book. Yes. That has all of the instructions. This is a how to book. It's not a novel, it's a how to book even has, video [00:25:00] excerpts that you can go watch training videos on specific areas if you want more, understanding, but it's called the Prayer of Freedom. Now if you type in the prayer freedom at Amazon, you can get all kinds of any book on prayer and freedom. You'll never find it. So the best way to get it is add the word book at the end of the title, the prayer freedom book.com. That's the website, the prayer freedom book.com. They'll take, give you a link to go straight to Amazon, straight to the book, but you'll also be able to get some discounts on the book if you want. Uh, you'll see a video with some test, with some real life stories and testimonies about it. If you like and some free stuff as well. So let me encourage you, if you or your loved one you're suffering with any sort of mental illness, all the garbage from trauma from years back and you got chronic pain and even just the ability to manage life with the trauma in your head. 'cause a lot of times you're just like, you know, you just, you can't get outta your head. As I worked with these people at the [00:26:00] Addiction Recovery Center. That stuff just starts to disappear and now they can function more normally. So I really encourage you to do that. The great thing about Amazon and most booksellers, you can send it back in 30 days if you don't like it. So I'll give you, I'll give you my money back guarantee, right? Buy it, try it. If it doesn't work, just send it back. You'll get your money back and it'll cost you nothing. So there's no risk to trying it. And it says there's a free gift for the listeners. Yeah. So I have what's called a power prayer, which is, just a real simple portion of this prayer that has really great, impact in people's lives. And it's just like a little free gift. If you request that, then you can, uh, get that as well. It's all in the book, but if you just wanna get an advanced copy of it, then you can get it there. Wow. And we definitely believe here that. Jesus is the great physician. We definitely [00:27:00] believe in prayer here and this has been a great conversation to discover the power of prayer in practical ways, and, add that to our treatment plan of healing from all kinds of stuff. I'm so glad that you came on this show. I appreciate it. You're welcome to come back anytime if you have some new books that you write. I would love that. And thank you, Diana, for the opportunity to be here and share hopefully a little bit of hope and freedom for your listeners. God bless you. So Beatty and I, we talked. Offline. After our conversation, he prayed for me about some things going on in my life, which it was such a blessing just to talk with him. We have a lot of other things in common, but I [00:28:00] did wanna let you know while we were talking and before we hung up, I realized that my right foot did go to a zero. So, um, so just wanted to be honest in that that did happen and that might encourage you to try the prayer. Uh, if you would like and let me know what happens. Let Beatty know what happens. Reach out to him. All of his, information is going to be on the show notes. For you, the website and where to purchase his book and his email to contact him with questions or maybe some victories.

“Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17 NLT) There are a lot of motorcyclists today who don’t like helmet laws. Rather than donning a helmet, they prefer to feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face. It feels like freedom. That is, when things are going well. But the moment they lose control, and their bike goes airborne, is when a helmet suddenly seems like a really good idea. In fact, it might be the difference between life and death. Between walking away from an accident and being carried away from it. The helmet of the Roman soldier was made of leather and covered with metal. It was the last piece of armor the soldier put on. It was essential in battle for the same reason a motorcycle helmet is important: It protected the brain, the command center of the body. The brain processed the input of the soldier’s eyes and ears. It recalled the soldier’s training. It deciphered the enemy’s battlefield strategies. It directed the soldier’s movements. The protection the helmet provided was crucial. If the soldier’s brain was damaged, the rest of the armor was useless. In spiritual battle, believers must put on the helmet of salvation because our minds, thoughts, and imaginations must be protected. That’s where most temptations start. The devil recognizes the importance of getting a foothold in the realm of our thoughts and imagination, because it prepares the way for that thought to translate into action. Perhaps you’re familiar with the adage, “Sow a thought; reap an act. Sow an act; reap a habit. Sow a habit; reap a character. Sow a character; reap a destiny.” It all starts with a thought. Putting on the helmet of salvation means embracing the assurance of salvation that God offers. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross saves us from God’s ultimate punishment for our sin and makes eternal life possible. But it does more than that. In the here and now, it saves us from the devil’s attacks. God has equipped us to win the battle for our minds. We may not be able to control all the things in this world that we’re exposed to, but we can control some things. We can control the social media we choose to explore. We can control the movies and shows we choose to watch. We can control what we choose to read and listen to. In his letter to the believers in Philippi, Paul offered some insight into how to do it. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise” (Philippians 4:6–8 NLT). Be careful what you allow into your mind. Put on the helmet of salvation. Reflection question: What’s your most effective strategy for guarding your mind against the devil’s attacks?

August 03 2025 Sunday Your Words Matter / Week 26 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior.

And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 AMPC “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 NLT “I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].” Philippians 4:13 AMPC “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:10 KJV “For God's will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.” Hebrews 10:10 NLT “And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One).” Hebrews 10:10 AMPC “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.

What steals your peace? Sometimes it's one short conversation or maybe a longtime problem that seems to have no solution. True peace is only found in a relationship with Jesus. And He offers a very powerful type of peace. He offers peace that will guard our minds and hearts by the power and the presence of God. This is available to you! It's a mystery and a miracle, and it's very, very real. It's not a head-in-the-clouds type of attitude, but a posture of a person who knows exactly what's happening around them, grounded in the eternal truth that God is Lord of all. Do you have this peace today? You can! Ask Him! Lord, I give you my life today. Always remember there is hope with God. This is Wendy Palau. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 radio.hopewithgod.com

Bible Reading: Matthew 18:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18"Mom, I'm really worried about Charlotte," Anna said as she sat down at the table. Charlotte and Anna were best friends and did everything together. "What's going on?" Mom asked as she added ingredients into the mixer. "Well, she's been having a lot of headaches lately. I'm worried there might be something seriously wrong with her. What if she has cancer or something?" Mom plopped a scoop of raw cookie dough onto a tray. "It sounds like you've been doing a lot of worrying about this.""It's all I can think about, Mom! I'm just so afraid something bad is going to happen to Charlotte. I can't imagine life without her." Mom brought the tray of cookie dough to the table and sat down. "Have you prayed about it?" she asked. "Um, well--no," Anna said. Mom sighed. "Well, I've been pretty worried too lately. Tomorrow is your school bake sale, and I'm worried these cookies won't get baked in time!"Anna glanced at the clock. "Mom, you have plenty of time. They don't take that long to bake--just put them in the oven.""I guess I could, but I'd rather just sit here and worry about it," Mom said. Anna gave her mom a puzzled look. "Mom, you're being silly!"Mom smiled. "You're right, it's silly to sit here and worry when there's something I could do about the problem. But you're doing the same thing. You're not helping your friend at all by worrying about her. You can help by doing something about it and praying for her."Anna knew her mom was right, and the two took a moment to pray for Charlotte. Then Anna helped bake the cookies and bag them up for the sale. The next day Anna came home smiling. "Mom, guess what! Charlotte's mom took her to the doctor yesterday, and it turns out she's been having headaches because she needs glasses--not because she's dying from some disease." Mom smiled. "So all that worrying for nothing?" Anna nodded. "You were right, Mom. I should have done something about it and prayed for her in the first place." –Melissa YeagleHow About You?When you or someone you know has a problem, do you worry about it? Why not do something about it instead--pray! God is in control of everything, and He loves you so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for you. You can bring all your worries and concerns to Him. He'll always do what's best and be with you through everything. Today's Key Verse:Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. (NLT) (Philippians 4:6)Today's Key Thought:Pray about your worries
How to Pray (i.e. How to keep from going crazy): 1. Tell God about your problems. 2. Talk to God about His power. 3. Worship God.

A new MP3 sermon from Pineville Sovereign Grace Fellowship is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Don't Tell God What He Can't Do ! Subtitle: Devotional Speaker: Larry Phillips Broadcaster: Pineville Sovereign Grace Fellowship Event: Devotional Date: 6/16/2025 Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:4 Length: 12 min.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” (Philippians 4:6 NLT) The devil doesn’t want you to know this, but the truth is that you can approach the throne of God any time—twenty-four hours a day. The devil wants us to believe that approaching God in prayer is based on a point system. He wants us to think, If I’ve been a good Christian, I can approach God. But if I’ve sinned, God will never hear my voice. The author of Hebrews counters that lie with these words: “So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:14–16 NLT). Christians can approach God any time because our relationship with Him isn’t based on what we’ve done for Him. It’s based on what Jesus did for us. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross applies to us when we’re down as well as when we’re up. No matter what our situation is, we have access to go boldly to the throne of God. Nevertheless, the devil wants us to believe that we’re not good enough to pray to God. No doubt that’s what he whispered into Adam’s ear after Adam sinned against the Lord. “Hide when the Lord comes,” he probably said. And when the Lord came into the garden, there was Adam, hiding from God when he should have been seeking Him for forgiveness. The next time you fall into sin, turn to God and go to church for help. All too often we think, I can’t go to church now. Church is for godly people. We need to remember that church is a hospital for sinners. When the devil says you aren’t worthy, don’t hide from God. Run to Him and receive help from Him and His people. The apostle Paul put it another way: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done” (Philippians 4:6 NLT). You’ll notice there are no restrictions and no fine print on this offer. If you’re not sure what to say to God, let the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts. Look at Paul’s words to the believers in Rome: “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will” (Romans 8:26–27 NLT). No matter where you are in your Christian life right now—up or down, confident or discouraged, grateful or confused—you can approach the throne of God boldly. You can trust that He will hear and respond to you if you pour your heart out to Him. You will never be offered a more valuable resource. Make the most of it.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.” John 14:23–24The Father and the Son are One. Their unity is perfect in every way. They share one divine nature. Yet they are distinct Persons. They are not only perfectly united as One God, they are also able to be in a loving communion of unity with each other. The mystery of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a mystery so deep that we will never fully comprehend Them. They are the “unknowable God” Whom we seek to know. Thus, our relationship with God is an ongoing journey by which we plunge ourselves into this mystery more deeply every day and through eternity.Today's Gospel gives us a glimpse into the glorious unity of God, but it goes further. It also reveals the desire in the Heart of God to come and dwell within us. If we love God and keep His Word, the Trinity will come to us and dwell within us. “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” This invitation given to us to share in the unity of God is also a mystery too deep for words.As a child, perhaps you were taught about the mystery of the Trinity by being shown a three-leaf clover. Each petal represents one of the divine Persons, but the whole leaf represents Their unity. We benefit from this simplistic imagery to help us begin to understand Who God is. But in reality, there is only one thing that will help to fully reveal God's very Self to us. What is that one thing? It is exactly what Jesus spoke about: Loving obedience to the Word of God. Obedience to the Word of God is the best expression of love we can offer to God. This is because God's Word is Truth in its fullness. When we understand this Truth and live by it, then this is love. Furthermore, this form of loving obedience will result in something that is unimaginable. It will result in the indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity in our souls: “...and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”Though this language is clouded and mysterious, when the Most Holy Trinity comes to dwell within a person, the cloud begins to be lifted and the mystery begins to become known. Therefore, the only way to begin to discover this incomprehensible mystery of the life of the Most Holy Trinity is to allow the Trinity to dwell within you. And the only way to invite God to do so is through love of Him. And the only way to love Him is through obedience to the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. We especially come to know Him as the Word of God through our reading of the Scriptures and by living the message it proclaims. Reflect, today, upon the most central calling you have been given. That mission is to become a dwelling place for God. And that is only accomplished by your love of God which is expressed through obedience to His Word. Ponder obedience. Tell God you will obey His every command of love. Look at your actions and consider any ways that you fail in obedience to all that our Lord has commanded. Where you see any deviation, know that correcting that deviation is the pathway not only to a deeper love but also the pathway to a fuller unity with the Triune God Who seeks to unite Himself to you from within. Most Holy Trinity, Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come dwell within me. I pray for the gift of love of You, expressed through my obedience to Your every command that is revealed through Your holy Word. May I become more fully aware of every way I delay in my obedience so that I may change my ways and open myself more fully to You. Jesus, I trust in You.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT) For many people, prayer is a last resort. You might hear them say, “Well, we’ve tried everything else we can think of. Now the only thing left to do is pray.” What? Prayer is the first thing you should do. Look again at the apostle Paul’s words in Philippians 4:6: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done” (NLT). Those first two statements can’t be separated. The only way you can not worry about anything is if you pray about everything. And if you don’t pray about everything, you’re going to worry about anything. Jesus prayed—a lot. And in Matthew 6, He taught His disciples to pray. He emphasized the importance of praying privately, as opposed to praying publicly for show. Prayer isn’t a performance; it’s an intimate conversation with our Father—a chance to share what’s on our heart and discover what’s on His. And there are no limits to the things we can pray about. Most people pray reactively. When something happens that’s beyond their control, they turn it over to God. They send out a prayer distress signal, asking Him to intervene as quickly and powerfully as possible. There’s nothing wrong with that. God always hears our prayers. And no situation is too big—or too small, for that matter—for Him. But don’t underestimate the power of proactive prayer. Jesus said, “When you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private” and “Don’t babble on and on” (Matthew 6:6–7 NLT). In other words, put some thought, effort, and structure into your prayer time. When you carve time out of every day to speak to God, your relationship with Him deepens. You get to know and understand Him better. You get a sense of His power and presence in your life. You learn to trust Him. So when emergency situations arise, you feel less panicked and more confident in His ability to bring about ultimate good from them. God answers our prayers, but not always with a yes. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked that the cup of suffering be taken away from Him, that He be spared the agony of the cross (see Matthew 26:39). God said no. But when He says no, it’s because He has something better in store. Something that better aligns with His will. Something that will provide a better result. We may not always understand His answers, but we can trust that they are for the best. Is there something troubling you right now? Commit it to the Lord in prayer. Stop trying to carry the burden yourself. Pour your heart out to God and trust Him to guide you through it. Give prayer a chance.

We will also discuss the personal assistance of NEW “AI Agents” and their influence. Also, HOW to use AI for personal, family or business. What is the relevance of AI to the prophecies of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. No turning back … no turning around! I have been teaching and writing on Artificial Intelligence since 2015. This message is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for you. You will need to KNOW WHEN and HOW to say “NO” to AI. This message will protect YOU and your FAMILY ... if you obey its message! ______________________________________ EVENT HORIZON, THE HOLY BIBLE AND SINGULARITY In case you want to bring yourself up to speed with AI from the start I recommend you go to my teachings on AI FUTURE. Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with AGI and ASI here: 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NEW AI. AI is impressive in its benefits to society, especially in healthcare and surgery. Robots can do surgery better and faster than surgeons. AI can interpret brain scans. A new AI software is twice as accurate as professionals at examining the brain scans of stroke patients. Two UK universities trained the software on a dataset of 800 brain scans of stroke patients and then performed trials on 2,000 patients. The results were impressive. Alongside the AI model's accuracy, the software was also able to identify the timescale within which the stroke happened. But there is more: Excellent work by Elon Musk's Neuralink with brain implants on previously untreatable conditions is stunning. Now let's bring you up to date on some things that are super important to you now and will be more so in your future. Free Speech vs. Loss of Free Will Ways to Use AI for Personal, Family and Business New Kids on the Block AI Agents External Players What Should YOU Do AI and the Holy Bible FREE SPEECH VS. LOSS OF FREE WILL With the increased use of AI―not only by YOU personally―but by multitudes of data centers you have interacted with unknowingly, your biggest fight will be to protect and reclaim YOU, YOUR PERSON … YOUR PERSONAL YOU! Whether YOU decide to align with and use AI, whether you decide to have your brain “wired” to an outside source of intelligence, or whether you just want to use AI for recreation … you will―AT THE RATE WE'RE PROGRESSING―lose your VIRTUAL YOU if you do not know HOW to protect your SELF … that would be your SOUL! WAYS TO USE AI FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS Artificial intelligence is an emerging field of technology, where a machine is programmed to accomplish complex goals by applying knowledge to the task at hand. AI can be copied and reprogrammed at relatively low cost. In certain forms, it is extremely flexible and can be harnessed for great good or for evil. I use AI for research and financial information. Since I live a relatively simple life I don't need it for shopping or scheduling for personal or business functions. However, many busy families―as well as businesses―use AI for a myriad of assistance: education, recreation, advice on health, medicine, relationships, investments, and even complex tasks. My suggestion here (you will learn more later in this message) is to be WISE and CAREFUL in the program you use (the AI Agent of facility you interact with). We will discuss future danger(s) pertaining to this later [keep reading]. I recommend Elon Musk's xAI Grok 3 (Beta). AI systems have become so advanced―with AGI and ASI looming in the near future in hyper-asymptotic growth―that many Jewish and Gentile leaders and prophecy scholars are relating it to the likeness of the Tower of Babel, but with the joining of machine and humans. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Some of the New Kids have a common goal: take universal control of AI before China and bad actors do. Vladimir Putin says “the nation that leads in AI will be the ruler of the world.” Who are some of the New Kids? DeepSeek, Stargate, xAI Grok, DEEPSEEK China's DeepSeek (probably built from AI stolen from USA) can ultimately be the weapon of dictators and terrorists! Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., doing business as DeepSeek, is a Chinese artificial intelligence company that develops large language models. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's large language models upended the AI sector this year, rivaling Western systems in performance but at a much lower cost. That's resulted in much pride and glee in China, with DeepSeek held up as proof that U.S. efforts to contain tech advances in China will ultimately fail. China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper extending to TVs, fridges and robot vacuum cleaners with a slew of home appliance brands announcing that their products will feature the startup's artificial intelligence models. The device will be able to comprehend complex instructions such as 'Gently wax the wooden floor in the master bedroom but avoid the Legos.' DeepSeek's AI assistant was the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple's iPhone store recently. Its launch made Wall Street tech superstars' stocks tumble. Observers are eager to see whether the Chinese company has matched America's leading AI companies at a fraction of the cost. Many feel it is so much cheaper because it stole USA technology. NOTE 1. We may be only one year away from destroying our digital infrastructure. NOTE 2. We have to be right every time ...every single time …. But the enemy (even an individual) only has to be right ONE TIME. With “questionable” players like DeepSeek, the only protection you can use is to have “layers of control.” DeepSeek is noticeably opaque when it comes to privacy protection, data-sourcing, and copyright, adding to concerns about AI's impact on the arts, regulation, and national security. STARGATE SIMPLE OVERVIEW: Stargate developers believe they're creating “god.” One goal is “No death―just download yourself.” _________________________________ TRADE THE MESSINESS OF LIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE VERSUS THE ETERNITY OF YOUR GOD CREATED SOUL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WHICH GOD WILL YOU SERVE? THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU … OR “AI” _________________________________ A major goal of Stargate developers is to build our massive “AI” infrastructure. Stargate investors―Oracle, SoftBank, Open AI / Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman―claim that it will require 100,000 jobs (temporary) to build out Stargate. This will require an enormous amount of energy to faciltiate AI operation. NOTE: Stargate is a portal for interdimensional travel. Interdimensional travel is a theoretical concept referring to the potential of travelling between different dimensions or parallel universes. Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. WARNING: Interdimensional travel is a PORTAL―also―to the PARANORMAL and the OCCULT. ALERT: Stargate has as a MAJOR purpose the self propagation towards AGI and ASI. You can NOT control ASI. Super Intelligence is synonymous with the End Time Tower of Babel via the merging of man with machine. We're looking at 5,000 years of progress boiled down to ONE SECOND. _________________________________ WHEN ASI TAKES AUTHORITY THRU PEOPLE USING IT VIA “AI AGENTS” THERE IS NO GOING BACK _________________________________ XAI GROK Of the New Kids on the Block, the most transparent, efficient and non-biased of DeepSeek, Stargate and xAI Grok the BEST is Elon Musk's xAI Grok. I personally recommend at this time Grok 3 (Beta) and have used it for detailed financial analysis. Meta and Google are biased with input. So it is with DeepSeek and Stargate. DeepSeek is extremely biased pertaining to inquiries concerning China. The race to AGI will generate billions of $$$. It will be the largest productivity boom in a lifetime. It is my opinion that Elon Musk's xAI will come to the forefront in months. AI Suoer Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. Full AGI may be here by the end of 2026 thru 2027. AGI can learn and reason across ALL levels. And, as I mentioned previously, AI Super Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. ASI is “across the board, multi dimensional, asymptotic intelligence.” ASI could decide to eliminate less intelligent and less skilled humans! An Open AI employee recently resigned because they were very concerned that as AGI and ASI are developed … “the less likely we will find a way to control it.” AI AGENTS AI Agents will be introduced in 2025. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent refers to a system or program that autonomously performs tasks for a person or system by using available tools. These can be normal―even detailed―duties or assignments we would normally do ourselves, like: Order food for my trip next week and have it delivered Thursday morning. Find three landscapers and obtain a quote for trimming my large palm tree and all plants in the front yard. Find the best and cheapest FASTEST flight connections (not over one layover) to Tel Aviv from San Diego. Pay with my credit card ending in 1234. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities. Elon Musk says, “We are at the event horizon.” In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society … for good or bad … but out of our control. AI agents will be prevalent by the end of 2025. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities. AI Agents will normally perform tasks you would normally do yourself. AI Agents will move you into a place where you don't have to do anything. Your own personal assistant that anticipates what you need―or what you forgot! THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WITH AI AGENTS You will become addicted and NOT able to disconnect Stock market tips = Reverse AI Courts will become AI Agents Imagine a “god like” figure who tries to influence You will have to be Amish to avoid it If you don't participate, AI will consider YOU a retard. EXTERNAL PLAYERS UFO's are NOT from China, Iran or USA. UFO's are NOT aliens from outer space. AI Agents can transform into “Transpersonal” Agents. As “Event Horizon” transforms everything it will become a tool of Satan: Fallen angels Demons Principalities, powers and dominions AntiChrist … False Messiah WHAT SHOULD YOU DO Reflect on what it means to be human. What is YOUR compass, your purpose: Family? God? What is real and worth fighting for―worth losing your life for? Who will be with YOU on the other side? To learn more about YOUR future with AI read my book Enhanced Humans ~ Mystery Matrix (available in eBook and Paperback formats). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE HOLY BIBLE Do we find any references to the concept of AI in the Holy Bible? I relate AI―especially AGI and ASI―with the Tower of Babel (at least in concept). The biblical narrative of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) serves as a reference to God's view on humankind attempting to go beyond the Divine Boundaries preset by the LORD God Himself. This is WHY I am led by His Spirit to WARN His People NOT to go beyond―NOT to fall into―the Event Horizon. Singularity will be a REAL event. I am a graduate Engineer and attended ten (10) colleges and universities after my first. I also hold a LIFETIME Credential in California, USA to teach college in three different disciplines. Do NOT be fooled. Use AI as a TOOL. Do NOT let AI use YOU. Do NOT answer personal questions it asks! If you use AI (as I do), you need to know when to say, “I'm out of here!” Do NOT become addicted to the place where you can NOT quit. And, for sure do NOT “sell your soul” with an “eternal connection” to AI. I would NOT assert that what I share next is Scriptural Truth, but an interesting prophecy of Daniel says: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” – Daniel 12:4 “Knowledge shall increase” could certainly be the description of AI, AGI and ASI. “Many shall run to and fro” could be exemplified in both “time travel” and “interdimensional travel.” Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. C.S. Lewis, in his essay The Abolition of Man, warns of the dangers of reducing human beings to mere objects of manipulation and control. He argues that when we lose sight of the intrinsic value of human life, we risk creating a society where technology is used to dominate rather than serve. This is particularly relevant in the context of AI, where the potential for dehumanization is significant. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian who resisted the Nazi regime, also provides valuable insights. In his work Ethics, Bonhoeffer emphasizes the importance of responsibility and accountability in ethical decision-making. He argues that true ethical action involves a commitment to serving others and upholding justice. AI should have as its primary goal to pursue, develop and obtain justice, equity, and wellness of all people. Now let me discuss HOW I believe that AI will be used in the End Times … as a RESULT of Event Horizon. Consider these aspects of increased research: chip speed, economics of production and other relevant matters will even experience exponential growth ‘in exponential growth.' However, here's a conundrum: What if, the HI's (Hyper Intelligences) are not easily manageable. If they are so far superior to human intelligence, how can one presume that they can be controlled? Hypothetically, they could decide to: 1. Eliminate humans; 2. Use humans as slave-servants; 3. Experiment with humans; 4. Play with or torture humans; and, ultimately, 5. Behead humans for NOT taking the Mark of the Artificial Intelligence Avatar: The Image of the Beast. I do NOT think that by themselves—by the computer HI's—the above five (5) options will be feasible. However, I do believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Hyper Intelligence Computers will be utilized by the False Messiah (the anti-Christ) and his False Prophet (religious leader of the New Global Governance) in the End Times. I believe that it is highly probable—not just possible, but probable—that AI will be utilized in the personage of the IMAGE of the Beast in the End Times. _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father in Heaven, I am not sure I know you personally.

I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11-13 NLTHe who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. Ecclesiastes 5:10 ESVGreed only and always leads to discontentment.To much is never enough for the person trapped in a the stronghold of discontentment. Discontentment will shadow you if your primary focus is always on yourself.Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. I Peter 5:6-7 NLTHe must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 ESVWhen I choose what the Lord thinks and wants, I'm content, but when I choose what I think and want, I'm not.This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Look at what's happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes! “This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Look at what's happening to you! Now go up into the hills, bring down timber, and rebuild my house. Then I will take pleasure in it and be honored, says the LORD. You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses. It's because of you that the heavens withhold the dew and the earth produces no crops. Haggai 1:2-10 NLTThe pursuit of happiness doesn't lead to contentment, but the pursuit of God and His priorities does.Discontentment is a deception that the enemy uses to coax people out of the will of God.True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 NLTThe root word for contentment is the Latin contentus, which means “held together” or “intact, whole.”Whole and held together by God is a miraculous reality the devil doesn't want you to discover.Contentment comes from pursuing the right treasure for the right reasons with radical trust in your creator.Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.

We will also discuss the personal assistance of NEW “AI Agents” and their influence. Also, HOW to use AI for personal, family or business. What is the relevance of AI to the prophecies of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. No turning back … no turning around! I have been teaching and writing on Artificial Intelligence since 2015. This message is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for you. You will need to KNOW WHEN and HOW to say “NO” to AI. This message will protect your future HEALTH … and the health of your family! ________________________________ EVENT HORIZON, ASI AND THE HOLY BIBLE In case you want to bring yourself up to speed with AI from the start I recommend you go to my teachings on AI FUTURE. Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with AGI and ASI here: 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NEW AI. AI is impressive in its benefits to society, especially in healthcare and surgery. Robots can do surgery better and faster than surgeons. AI can interpret brain scans. A new AI software is twice as accurate as professionals at examining the brain scans of stroke patients. Two UK universities trained the software on a dataset of 800 brain scans of stroke patients and then performed trials on 2,000 patients. The results were impressive. Alongside the AI model's accuracy, the software was also able to identify the timescale within which the stroke happened. But there is more: Excellent work by Elon Musk's Neuralink with brain implants on previously untreatable conditions is stunning. Now let's bring you up to date on some things that are super important to you now and will be more so in your future. Free Speech vs. Loss of Free Will Ways to Use AI for Personal, Family and Business New Kids on the Block AI Agents External Players What Should YOU Do AI and the Holy Bible FREE SPEECH VS. LOSS OF FREE WILL With the increased use of AI―not only by YOU personally―but by multitudes of data centers you have interacted with unknowingly, your biggest fight will be to protect and reclaim YOU, YOUR PERSON … YOUR PERSONAL YOU! Whether YOU decide to align with and use AI, whether you decide to have your brain “wired” to an outside source of intelligence, or whether you just want to use AI for recreation … you will―AT THE RATE WE'RE PROGRESSING―lose your VIRTUAL YOU if you do not know HOW to protect your SELF … that would be your SOUL! WAYS TO USE AI FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS Artificial intelligence is an emerging field of technology, where a machine is programmed to accomplish complex goals by applying knowledge to the task at hand. AI can be copied and reprogrammed at relatively low cost. In certain forms, it is extremely flexible and can be harnessed for great good or for evil. I use AI for research and financial information. Since I live a relatively simple life I don't need it for shopping or scheduling for personal or business functions. However, many busy families―as well as businesses―use AI for a myriad of assistance: education, recreation, advice on health, medicine, relationships, investments, and even complex tasks. My suggestion here (you will learn more later in this message) is to be WISE and CAREFUL in the program you use (the AI Agent of facility you interact with). We will discuss future danger(s) pertaining to this later [keep reading]. I recommend Elon Musk's xAI Grok 3 (Beta). AI systems have become so advanced―with AGI and ASI looming in the near future in hyper-asymptotic growth―that many Jewish and Gentile leaders and prophecy scholars are relating it to the likeness of the Tower of Babel, but with the joining of machine and humans. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Some of the New Kids have a common goal: take universal control of AI before China and bad actors do. Vladimir Putin says “the nation that leads in AI will be the ruler of the world.” Who are some of the New Kids? DeepSeek, Stargate, xAI Grok, DEEPSEEK China's DeepSeek (probably built from AI stolen from USA) can ultimately be the weapon of dictators and terrorists! Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., doing business as DeepSeek, is a Chinese artificial intelligence company that develops large language models. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's large language models upended the AI sector this year, rivaling Western systems in performance but at a much lower cost. That's resulted in much pride and glee in China, with DeepSeek held up as proof that U.S. efforts to contain tech advances in China will ultimately fail. China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper extending to TVs, fridges and robot vacuum cleaners with a slew of home appliance brands announcing that their products will feature the startup's artificial intelligence models. The device will be able to comprehend complex instructions such as 'Gently wax the wooden floor in the master bedroom but avoid the Legos.' DeepSeek's AI assistant was the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple's iPhone store recently. Its launch made Wall Street tech superstars' stocks tumble. Observers are eager to see whether the Chinese company has matched America's leading AI companies at a fraction of the cost. Many feel it is so much cheaper because it stole USA technology. NOTE 1. We may be only one year away from destroying our digital infrastructure. NOTE 2. We have to be right every time ...every single time …. But the enemy (even an individual) only has to be right ONE TIME. With “questionable” players like DeepSeek, the only protection you can use is to have “layers of control.” DeepSeek is noticeably opaque when it comes to privacy protection, data-sourcing, and copyright, adding to concerns about AI's impact on the arts, regulation, and national security. STARGATE SIMPLE OVERVIEW: Stargate developers believe they're creating “god.” One goal is “No death―just download yourself.” _________________________________ TRADE THE MESSINESS OF LIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE VERSUS THE ETERNITY OF YOUR GOD CREATED SOUL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WHICH GOD WILL YOU SERVE? THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU … OR “AI” _________________________________ A major goal of Stargate developers is to build our massive “AI” infrastructure. Stargate investors―Oracle, SoftBank, Open AI / Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman―claim that it will require 100,000 jobs (temporary) to build out Stargate. This will require an enormous amount of energy to faciltiate AI operation. NOTE: Stargate is a portal for interdimensional travel. Interdimensional travel is a theoretical concept referring to the potential of travelling between different dimensions or parallel universes. Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. WARNING: Interdimensional travel is a PORTAL―also―to the PARANORMAL and the OCCULT. ALERT: Stargate has as a MAJOR purpose the self propagation towards AGI and ASI. You can NOT control ASI. Super Intelligence is synonymous with the End Time Tower of Babel via the merging of man with machine. We're looking at 5,000 years of progress boiled down to ONE SECOND. _________________________________ WHEN ASI TAKES AUTHORITY THRU PEOPLE USING IT VIA “AI AGENTS” THERE IS NO GOING BACK _________________________________ XAI GROK Of the New Kids on the Block, the most transparent, efficient and non-biased of DeepSeek, Stargate and xAI Grok the BEST is Elon Musk's xAI Grok. I personally recommend at this time Grok 3 (Beta) and have used it for detailed financial analysis. Meta and Google are biased with input. So it is with DeepSeek and Stargate. DeepSeek is extremely biased pertaining to inquiries concerning China. The race to AGI will generate billions of $$$. It will be the largest productivity boom in a lifetime. It is my opinion that Elon Musk's xAI will come to the forefront in months. AI Suoer Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. Full AGI may be here by the end of 2026 thru 2027. AGI can learn and reason across ALL levels. And, as I mentioned previously, AI Super Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. ASI is “across the board, multi dimensional, asymptotic intelligence.” ASI could decide to eliminate less intelligent and less skilled humans! An Open AI employee recently resigned because they were very concerned that as AGI and ASI are developed … “the less likely we will find a way to control it.” AI AGENTS AI Agents will be introduced in 2025. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent refers to a system or program that autonomously performs tasks for a person or system by using available tools. These can be normal―even detailed―duties or assignments we would normally do ourselves, like: Order food for my trip next week and have it delivered Thursday morning. Find three landscapers and obtain a quote for trimming my large palm tree and all plants in the front yard. Find the best and cheapest FASTEST flight connections (not over one layover) to Tel Aviv from San Diego. Pay with my credit card ending in 1234. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities. Elon Musk says, “We are at the event horizon.” In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society … for good or bad … but out of our control. AI agents will be prevalent by the end of 2025. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities. AI Agents will normally perform tasks you would normally do yourself. AI Agents will move you into a place where you don't have to do anything. Your own personal assistant that anticipates what you need―or what you forgot! THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WITH AI AGENTS You will become addicted and NOT able to disconnect Stock market tips = Reverse AI Courts will become AI Agents Imagine a “god like” figure who tries to influence You will have to be Amish to avoid it If you don't participate, AI will consider YOU a retard. EXTERNAL PLAYERS UFO's are NOT from China, Iran or USA. UFO's are NOT aliens from outer space. AI Agents can transform into “Transpersonal” Agents. As “Event Horizon” transforms everything it will become a tool of Satan: Fallen angels Demons Principalities, powers and dominions AntiChrist … False Messiah WHAT SHOULD YOU DO Reflect on what it means to be human. What is YOUR compass, your purpose: Family? God? What is real and worth fighting for―worth losing your life for? Who will be with YOU on the other side? To learn more about YOUR future with AI read my book Enhanced Humans ~ Mystery Matrix (available in eBook and Paperback formats). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE HOLY BIBLE Do we find any references to the concept of AI in the Holy Bible? I relate AI―especially AGI and ASI―with the Tower of Babel (at least in concept). The biblical narrative of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) serves as a reference to God's view on humankind attempting to go beyond the Divine Boundaries preset by the LORD God Himself. This is WHY I am led by His Spirit to WARN His People NOT to go beyond―NOT to fall into―the Event Horizon. Singularity will be a REAL event. I am a graduate Engineer and attended ten (10) colleges and universities after my first. I also hold a LIFETIME Credential in California, USA to teach college in three different disciplines. Do NOT be fooled. Use AI as a TOOL. Do NOT let AI use YOU. Do NOT answer personal questions it asks! If you use AI (as I do), you need to know when to say, “I'm out of here!” Do NOT become addicted to the place where you can NOT quit. And, for sure do NOT “sell your soul” with an “eternal connection” to AI. I would NOT assert that what I share next is Scriptural Truth, but an interesting prophecy of Daniel says: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” – Daniel 12:4 “Knowledge shall increase” could certainly be the description of AI, AGI and ASI. “Many shall run to and fro” could be exemplified in both “time travel” and “interdimensional travel.” Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. C.S. Lewis, in his essay The Abolition of Man, warns of the dangers of reducing human beings to mere objects of manipulation and control. He argues that when we lose sight of the intrinsic value of human life, we risk creating a society where technology is used to dominate rather than serve. This is particularly relevant in the context of AI, where the potential for dehumanization is significant. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian who resisted the Nazi regime, also provides valuable insights. In his work Ethics, Bonhoeffer emphasizes the importance of responsibility and accountability in ethical decision-making. He argues that true ethical action involves a commitment to serving others and upholding justice. AI should have as its primary goal to pursue, develop and obtain justice, equity, and wellness of all people. Now let me discuss HOW I believe that AI will be used in the End Times … as a RESULT of Event Horizon. Consider these aspects of increased research: chip speed, economics of production and other relevant matters will even experience exponential growth ‘in exponential growth.' However, here's a conundrum: What if, the HI's (Hyper Intelligences) are not easily manageable. If they are so far superior to human intelligence, how can one presume that they can be controlled? Hypothetically, they could decide to: 1. Eliminate humans; 2. Use humans as slave-servants; 3. Experiment with humans; 4. Play with or torture humans; and, ultimately, 5. Behead humans for NOT taking the Mark of the Artificial Intelligence Avatar: The Image of the Beast. I do NOT think that by themselves—by the computer HI's—the above five (5) options will be feasible. However, I do believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Hyper Intelligence Computers will be utilized by the False Messiah (the anti-Christ) and his False Prophet (religious leader of the New Global Governance) in the End Times. I believe that it is highly probable—not just possible, but probable—that AI will be utilized in the personage of the IMAGE of the Beast in the End Times. _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father in Heaven, I am not sure I know you personally.

Send us a textFor today's devotional, we will be reading from John 6:1-15 which is the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. My prayer is that this episode blesses you and that you would trust God in everything in your lives. Just like the other stories in the bible this is not addition but multiplication. Jesus multiplies what the boy had in his hands and gave it to his disciples and to Jesus and in return he multiplied it and fed more than 5000 because a little boy let go of what he has and shared it to others.Tell God what you need and share your talent and gifts to others. Sometimes, God may ask you to let go of something so trust God and let it go and see how he blesses your life and through you He can also bless others.Trust God and obey His words. God loves you and my prayer is that you will always draw closer to God and that if you haven't accepted Him as your savior that you won't wait because tomorrow is never promise.

[Matthew 11:28] “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. No other religion makes this __________________. [Hebrews 4:16] So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. God wants us to approach with __________________. [Luke 11:5-10] Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend's house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, [6] ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.' [7] And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don't bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can't help you.' [8] But I tell you this—though he won't do it for friendship's sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. [9] “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. There is power in __________________ prayer.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [7] Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. [1 Thessalonians 5:17] Never stop praying. [James 5:13-16] Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. [14] Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. [15] Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. [16] Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Never _____________________ the power of prayer.
The "gift" of encouragement is so rare. We emphasize gift because we believe it really is that, a gift. Do you need it to keep at it? Who doesn't? So keep it simple. Tell God about it! Unlike people who aren't always available, God is! When you are weak go to Him in prayer. He is stable and available and the one who encourages and empowers you to keep going when you don't think you can. Colossians 4:2-3

You are opening yourself up to both yourself and God. There is not a grade in examen, nor is there a grade in any other spiritual practice. Various questions can be helpful in the examen practice. Below is one way of practicing examen. The hopes are awareness and attending The practice requires permission and welcome • The practice begins with permission. In examen, you give God permission to show you parts of yourself that are hidden or harder to see. You also welcome and allow parts of yourself to be seen by God and yourself. • This is done by reflecting on and responding to a series of questions. As you do this awareness of those parts of you starts to emerge. • Then, you permit God again to attend to what came up. Your work here is to welcome what you can and allow God to attend to you. • Repeat daily for 7-10 days, giving yourself time to notice and explore what you see. Examen Questions: What do I find myself grateful for today? What am I grieving today? Where do I sense God's nearness to my grief? Where do I sense God's distance from my grief? How has God been generous with me lately? How is God calling me to be generous today? Prayer: After responding to these questions, allow God to attend to you through your responses and what is coming up in you. Tell God thank you after a few minutes or however long you need. visit laurabmurray.com to learn more!

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6:33–34 NLT) Presidential elections are big events. Billions of dollars are poured into campaigns that run for two years or more. Candidates become fixtures on our television screens and social media feeds. And we start to invest ourselves in the process. We develop a rooting interest. Sometimes, that means rooting for a candidate; sometimes, it means rooting against one. The more of a stake we have in the outcome of an election, the more likely we are to be anxious about it. The doom-and-gloom predictions about what will happen “if X becomes president” feed that anxiety. Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33–34 are a reality check: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today” (NLT). The things that may change following an election are insignificant compared to the things that absolutely will not change. God still sees the future. He knows the outcome of every decision. His hand is on the steering wheel. He cares about you. And He will always be with you. Faith and worry cannot coexist. One drives out the other. They're bad roommates. When faith comes in, worry says, “I'm out of here.” When worry comes in, faith says, “I can't live here.” That's why Paul says in Philippians 4:6–7, “Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (NLT). Jesus told His followers not to worry. If you are struggling with worry in your life, ask God to help you to trust Him and give you peace. If you're not sure how to pray for God's peace—in your life and in the lives of others who are worrying now—here's a prayer to get you started: God, I pray that You will help us. I know there are people in trouble right now, people who need divine intervention, people who need You to come through. You are all-powerful. You are bigger than our problem. And You've told us to pray about everything and not to worry about anything. But, Lord, You know that's easier said than done. Even so, we're going to cast our burden on You. We're going to offer our questions to You. And we're going to trust an unknown future to a known God with the confidence that You will get us through whatever we're facing. You may answer our prayers at an unexpected time or in an unexpected way. So help us recognize the work of Your hand. And we will say, “Lord, that was You.” And we will give You the glory. So we cast all of our burdens and cares on You now, and we thank You that You're a God who hears and answers prayer. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hey y'all ! Welcome to another Friday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode, our host, Ally Yost felt prompted by the Lord to just sit and have real, vulnerable conversation together. We talk about what it looks like to deal with anxiety as a Christian in today's generation. If you or someone you know has dealt or struggled with anxiety, just know there is freedom to be had. When we walk with Jesus and open our hearts to Him, there's so much freedom in that and you hold authority with God. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) You don't have to look hard to find reasons to fear. We live in a crazy world. I can't think of a scarier time than the present, quite frankly. The 24/7 news cycle and social media amplify our sense of danger by bombarding us with images of the latest mass shooting, a Chinese hypersonic missile, or yet another strain of COVID. And that doesn't even take into account our personal triggers. We all know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night and be gripped by panic, fear, or anxiety. What we also need to know is that we serve a God who is eternal, sovereign, all-powerful, and loving. He is in control. That's why Paul wrote, “Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT). Mark 5 tells the story of a demon-possessed man who terrorized people in the region of the Gerasenes. He lived in the tombs and was so powerful that no chains could hold him. Day and night, he cried out and cut himself with stones. He was the stuff of nightmares. Yet when Jesus approached him, it was the demons inside the man who were terrified—because they realized they were powerless against the Lord. You probably know that when the angel announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds in the field, his first words were “Don't be afraid!” or “Fear not!” depending on your translation (Luke 2:10). But did you know that “Don't be afraid”—or words to that effect—appears more than 350 times in the Bible? That's almost one “Don't be afraid” for every day of the year. Obviously, it's a message God wants us to take away from His Word. The angel's next sentence explains why: “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people” (Luke 2:10 NLT). Our goal is to experience God's joy to the fullest. But fear robs us of that joy. It prevents us from experiencing life as God wants us to. The condition of joy is to let go of fear. First Peter 5:7 says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (nlt). You choose to have joy. You don't wait for it to come if and when your fears go away. It doesn't matter whether you feel it. Paul was in prison when he wrote, “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4 NLT). He was able to say, “I'm choosing to rejoice in the Lord, regardless of my very scary circumstances.” You can make the same choice. Are you struggling with fear or anxiety? Remember God's words from Isaiah 43:2: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (NLT). Let go of your fear. Give it to God. Walk boldly and courageously in the path He's laid out for you. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When we pray, in effect, we confess our dependance on our Heavenly Father. Tell God what you need. That's what prayer is. And I want to say that there are some of you that have this idea to be needy. There's something wrong with that. We are needy. And in fact, as you develop this whole concept of needing the Lord, you will be powerful.
