00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Hello.

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.000
Hello.

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000
So sorry.

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:23.000
Can you hear me.

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000
I'm not muted but not I hear you do you hear me at all.

6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Okay, I can hear you.

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000
Okay, good.

8
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.000
All right.

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000
So yeah, my air was for whatever reason, who said they were connected but they weren't connected.

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000
How are you.

11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Sorry to be so late. I'm hanging in. How are you this morning.

12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000
You said you're what you said I'm hanging in. How are you.

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Is it a hard day today.

14
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Um, it's kind of a hard day every day.

15
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Yeah, it's hard day every day lately, so it's.

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Yeah, it's been a major attack on my health. So like, oh, I'm just kind of every day trying to not try and not figure out why I'm so sick every day, so that's my heart right now, but yeah, it's.

17
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.000
Yeah, that's hard and frustrating if it's any encouragement, I'm, you know, having to do the same thing.

18
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000
And now currently I'm not having to do it to the same intensity that I've been doing it.

19
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I don't know if you remember the last time we talked I probably talked about this, but for two years.

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Well it'll be two years this December, I will. I've been having my skin has been having an allergic reaction.

21
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.000
I don't know, I don't know.

22
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Oh my goodness, I didn't know that long.

23
00:01:50.000 --> 00:02:04.000
It's going to be two years this December, and I don't, you know, I don't know what it is I'm allergic to other than like fragrances, but basically it's like this, this is the simple way that I've realized that it's working is my skin is just sensitive, period.

24
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Meaning like it's become sensitive, just out of the blue, I don't know why, and the doctors can't find a reason so therefore I'm not just reacting to fragrances I'm reacting to unknown things.

25
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:31.000
And the only thing that I'm that works is if I use ultra ultra clean products, and like literally as clean as I can find, excuse me, like to laundry, or to wash my hands or things like that.

26
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:43.000
And that's the only thing, because like laundry would be things like, I mean the reason that's important is not just the clothes that I'm putting on but also the sheets that I'm sleeping in or the towel that I'm driving my hands with.

27
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Just stuff like that. I had a horrible allergic reaction even just yesterday on my face. And I thought, why, why all of a sudden, am I having it on my face.

28
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.000
I don't fully know why, but as many times as I've washed this blanket.

29
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:16.000
I was, I was wrapped in this blanket. Yesterday or day before, I think it was yesterday. And I would periodically scratch my face, and my face would just break out in these highs, and I'm like, why today of all you know days.

30
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:25.000
What have I done different. Yeah. And I realized, well, I had the, I had it on my lap, and I would periodically touch or scratch my face.

31
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:42.000
And, and I realized that I didn't have foundation on. I had like, I had like, what do you call it and not blush that like a bronzer on, but I didn't have a really thick buffer, not that I use like thick foundation but it, it's thick compared to like a powder.

32
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:59.000
And that I think is sometimes creating a barrier between my face skin and other things and so since I didn't have it. And that though I was sick, all last week with coven, and I was, I didn't wear makeup and I had this blanket on so I don't know.

33
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:14.000
I'm having this reaction, and while it's not as bad as like other things that I could have. I've been shocked at how debilitating it is when it's bad because when it's bad my skin and my whole body feels like it's on fire.

34
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:26.000
It feels like it just, it burns and it itches and it part of it is it's very intense but then the other part is it wears you down because it doesn't stop.

35
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:41.000
And it's just like constant without any relief, and it's that water on a rock idea of like it won't stop and so it builds it emotionally builds an intensity of like I can't get this to go away and you know what I mean.

36
00:04:41.000 --> 00:05:00.000
So it's not that any one thing is particularly bad it's that when it doesn't go away and you're in constant burning, you know, constant, and I don't know just pain that just emotionally just wears down on you so my point is, I put my situation and I've had to figure out, you know,

37
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.160
with the Lord. Okay, Lord, how do I process through this? If I've been prayed for by multiple people

38
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.720
who pray for people and like miracles happen, lens grow back, you know, kind of thing.

39
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.760
I had people like that pray for me. Yeah. And, and I prayed in my husband's prayed and it's,

40
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:24.480
and it's, and I'm still not fully healed, you know, Lord, how do I continue and not be an

41
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:31.040
accusation against you that these things are continuing to happen? And, and, and then,

42
00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:38.960
and how do I partner with that by obviously not saying the accusation against the Lord,

43
00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:47.280
but how do I not, how do I not, I'm still trying to figure out how to articulate this

44
00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:54.800
to people? And this idea of like, because we, we tend to default to things like desperation.

45
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.680
We think that that's valuable to the Lord. Like, Oh, if I'm very desperate, well,

46
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.560
then God thinks that that's a really good thing. And I've learned that that's actually not

47
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:18.480
desperation is will can lead us to the Lord. The Lord can use it, but desperation won't get us in,

48
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:24.080
don't get us what we need to in won't get us what we need into the kingdom. It, because it's a,

49
00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:28.640
it's a negative thing. We think of it as this, it's like this thing that's valuable to the Lord

50
00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:33.440
as if like, Oh, well, it means I really, really want him, but there's something in, there's a

51
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:37.920
negative aspect of desperation. That's usually associated with desperation all the time,

52
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.760
but usually associated with desperation, which is founded in this, in this thing founded in

53
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:51.760
accusation against the Lord and, and not expecting it to happen. Yeah. And belief. And there's this

54
00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:58.080
negative aspect and that won't ever get us, you know, into the kingdom. I mean, and I don't mean

55
00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:01.760
this being a Christian, I mean that, you know, won't get us all of the benefits and whatever.

56
00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:08.160
So how do I continue to hold this petition before the Lord, Lord, would you please heal?

57
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.480
You know because for me, it is something that I have to manage all day long is this,

58
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:19.760
is this reaction. And especially if I mean, like, you know, just, I'm just like scratching and

59
00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:25.120
itching and whatever it's, I don't even realize how often I do it now because it's, it's just

60
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:32.880
all the time. And I don't realize how, until I stop and think about it, how many parts of my body

61
00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:37.040
are in pain at any given moment, because I've just come to live with it, you know?

62
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:43.680
Anyway. So my point is that how do I hold this and petition before the Lord in faith,

63
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:50.800
not in accusation and in a posture of expectancy without the negative,

64
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:58.240
than any negativity that I usually apply as an ingredient in desperation of life with this

65
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:05.600
aspect. And so, and so my very long explanation, again, I'm trying to learn how to articulate

66
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.920
all of this to myself, let alone to other people. But part of the thing in all of that is learning

67
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:19.760
like the word that you use, you know, how do we not try? In other words, how do we not add effort,

68
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:28.640
strife, approach it from a, from the foundation of lack? Like I don't have, and therefore I need,

69
00:08:29.760 --> 00:08:36.159
and God, you haven't done it yet. And therefore this is a problem. And how do I, you know, not

70
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:42.880
view it from such a negative perspective? That is something I'm really, I'm, I've been working

71
00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:53.760
through and I have noticed that the more that I just kind of let go and with expectation that not

72
00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:01.680
only God is currently good and he's being good to me and he's good to me now and he's good to me now

73
00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:08.080
in my body. So I've learned that things like that are very helpful. Like if we pick, if we have a

74
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:13.680
particular characteristic of the Lord, like his goodness or his, or his provision or his safety or

75
00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:20.560
something like that, and then we choose, okay, yeah, he is that period. And then he's that to me.

76
00:09:21.280 --> 00:09:28.480
I'm not left out. It's not everybody else, but not me, you know, in the end that it's not for later.

77
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:37.840
He's that way to me right now. And then on top of that, that he is that way to me right now.

78
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:44.160
Not later, right now in this specific area that I'm needing it in, like in my body or in my skin

79
00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:52.240
or in my whatever. And that has been a really big deal and a really big helpful thing for me to grab

80
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:58.560
a hold of. In other words, it's helped my faith. It's given some specificity to my faith. This is

81
00:09:58.560 --> 00:09:59.760
what I am, who I am.

82
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.600
leaving God is and how it man. And I don't, when I say how I was going to say and how

83
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.320
it manifests, I don't mean specifically like, well, God's only good to me if I'm healed

84
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.000
and if I look like this and if I look like that, you know, I don't mean that. I just

85
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.920
meant that God is good to me right now in my body. It's in. So therefore it's that kind

86
00:10:20.920 --> 00:10:28.160
of a manifestation, that kind of an expression. Um, so that has helped because then there's

87
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:32.520
something in me that has like tightened down on that. I really want this to happen. I really

88
00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:38.960
want to be healed. I really want this. That's allowed me to let go while still holding it

89
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:48.560
before the Lord, but not, uh, but, but not, um, hold onto it so tightly that I'm not allowing

90
00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:55.160
the spirit to move. Like there's an aspect of what I refer to as death that comes when

91
00:10:55.160 --> 00:11:01.280
we want something so badly, we tend to like lock down on it. We locked down on it emotionally.

92
00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:06.900
And then when you do that over a period of time, it gives us that feeling of I'm stuck.

93
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:10.840
And it's because we've locked down on this thing that we want so desperately. And the

94
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:16.720
reason why we keep doing that is not only do we do it for our own sense of security,

95
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.960
feeling like we can control something, but also we've, we've tricked ourselves into believing

96
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:27.400
from various scripture versus that. I don't, I don't believe that we've interpreted correctly.

97
00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:32.940
We believe that it's valuable to reward and it's not, it's the, it's the consistency in

98
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:39.640
our faith in him that he values, not this locking down on something or this God, you

99
00:11:39.640 --> 00:11:43.740
know, why haven't you done this yet? Or, or whatever, because I was thinking about this

100
00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:47.000
this morning in my own, you know, just, I mean, briefly, I think about this stuff a

101
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.440
lot, but this specific thing you're talking about right now about kind of locking down

102
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.760
on it and versus, cause it's happening again in my sleep where I'm like, I'm trying to

103
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:59.680
understand, I'm trying to figure out why my ear is, you know, waking me up again, like

104
00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:06.520
night after night or whatever, it's various things, but it is a constant of multiple things.

105
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:13.880
And then adding in like additional things as you go, it's kind of like you're snowballing

106
00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:21.040
the wrong direction. It feels like constant, but I was like, but why, like, if I'm, if

107
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:26.400
I'm trying to figure it out, which again, he's spoken to me about, like, not, not eating

108
00:12:26.400 --> 00:12:29.240
from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not trying to understand and figure

109
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.680
it out, but then there's still that. Okay. Well then am I supposed to, like, I wrestle

110
00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:41.720
with, am I supposed to surrender to it and like be okay with it as in not ever take authority

111
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.960
over my body and the symptoms that are coming upon me? You know what I mean? Like, do I

112
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.600
surrender to it? That doesn't feel totally right, but it does feel right to let go. But

113
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:56.800
then again, to navigate it moment by moment, like every second of every day and night right

114
00:12:56.800 --> 00:13:02.120
now, it's not cyclically kind of go back to, okay, is it this, or is it that I'm trying

115
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.360
to understand, you know, is this the root or is that the root? I mean, there's some

116
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:10.600
element of that, especially when, when there's big unknowns there and I don't think we're

117
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.400
meant to live in it. So it's like, well, I guess coming back to like, what aspect is

118
00:13:15.400 --> 00:13:20.280
for him, like to surrender for him to figure out and me to have faith. And what is my part

119
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.760
to take action and partnership with him toward it. And then of clamping down, like you were

120
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:32.400
saying, like, when is it time to try to understand and get to the bottom of something that doesn't

121
00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:38.960
have yet answers, but it's like plaguing me all the time versus letting go of surrendering

122
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:46.240
and just trusting, you know, like the timeline and everything. That's yeah, definitely the

123
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:55.120
challenge. We participate while releasing control. And that's hard because we either,

124
00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:01.000
if we don't want, if we don't get to have control, we tend to want to not, we tend to

125
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:05.640
give up any kind of active participation. Like, so if we're like, okay, God says he's

126
00:14:05.640 --> 00:14:11.040
going to do it. Okay. Well, then I'm not just not going to do anything. And, or we, or we

127
00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:16.240
actively participate, it's, it has a tendency to always be towards controlling the thing,

128
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:21.880
controlling the outcome is what I mean, controlling what is going to happen, making it, figuring

129
00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:33.200
out how to get a specific outcome and making a determination, moving and moving toward it.

130
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:40.120
But it's like, there's, there's an intentional intentionality inside of us that has a

131
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:48.000
tendency that is controlling and that the intentionality to control is the problem. So

132
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:53.880
anyway, it's, it's actively participating without controlling. And so meaning like we need to

133
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:59.160
release the outcome to the Lord, like what happens, whether or not, like say for instance,

134
00:14:59.160 --> 00:14:59.800
for my skin.

135
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.200
whether or not this stops, um, whether or not, you know, he heals period, let alone

136
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:14.160
like in other words, whether I see the manifestation feeling in my body, um, uh, and then whether,

137
00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:16.560
and then how that happens, does it happen by miracle?

138
00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:18.640
Does it happen when someone prays for me?

139
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:21.480
Does it happen when I'm just sleeping and I didn't do anything?

140
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:28.360
Does it happen because I, um, I researched things, research, possible, um, possible

141
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:34.320
causes and went to different doctors and the, and the Lord used those, uh, you know, healed

142
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:40.040
me through my purchase, my allowing creation to participate in the process, meaning like

143
00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:44.320
doctors and medicine or whatever, you know, so I have to release, not just the outcome,

144
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:50.880
I have to release how the outcome happens, um, and by outcome, I don't even mean just

145
00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:51.880
healing.

146
00:15:51.880 --> 00:15:56.560
I mean, whether or not I'm healed kind of a thing, I have to just release that I can

147
00:15:56.560 --> 00:16:03.120
no longer hold God accountable to me for what happens and change my, um, and change your

148
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:10.440
relationship or expectation or, or, or identification of who God is based off of what may or may

149
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.960
not happen.

150
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:19.440
That's what we release, um, that we can still want something, we can still desire it, um,

151
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.080
and, and we can still hold that before the Lord, we can still ask them for those things

152
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:31.760
and we can actively participate in exploration in discovery and be like, okay, well, you

153
00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:36.960
know, let's, let's go to a doctor, let's, let's research it, let's whatever, but without

154
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:41.120
the internal ingredient while we're researching or going to a doctor or whatever, without

155
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:48.800
that internal ingredient of, um, of fear, of, of a sense of lack of a sense of like

156
00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:49.800
a desperation.

157
00:16:49.800 --> 00:16:55.040
And by desperation, I'm talking about like the negative aspects that we typically include

158
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:56.040
in desperation.

159
00:16:56.040 --> 00:17:02.840
Um, and, and so what we do is you, when you're talking about surrender, we're not surrendering

160
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:03.840
to it.

161
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.359
We definitely don't want to do that because that either falls into the category of giving

162
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:09.640
up or giving in.

163
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.640
And so when we let go

164
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.640
At this moment where I'm like, is this resignation?

165
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:20.680
Cause I feel like I'm to the point when the, so the most, I guess the most recent symptom

166
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:26.599
or like day to day moment by moment grading on you all day, all night thing is this ringing

167
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.120
in my ear tinnitus that started.

168
00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:35.600
Um, and that was kind of like, it was, it's been one of those, it's kind of a big deal.

169
00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:40.120
I mean, I don't know how to quantify or qualify it, like compared to the other things I'm

170
00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:46.080
dealing with, but like, it's, it's a constant, something I've never dealt with in my life.

171
00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:50.120
Like I wanted to pull my hair out for, I mean, I had to cry out to him for like a couple

172
00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:51.120
of weeks.

173
00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:55.320
I feel like the couple of weeks I've either there's been like, I've been able to adapt

174
00:17:55.320 --> 00:18:00.880
to it enough to like for it to not grade on me so much, but it was like nails on a chalkboard.

175
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:05.440
Like I have chirping ringing in my ear all day and night.

176
00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:07.280
And I'm going, oh my goodness.

177
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:13.520
But I also, by that point, Ashley, I was like, okay, you know, like there was a, uh, an element

178
00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:17.440
of I'm letting go.

179
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.920
Like I can't, like, I can't figure this out.

180
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:21.080
I can't control this.

181
00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:22.240
I don't want to.

182
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:28.080
Um, but then I also hit a point when other things are hitting all at once alongside that,

183
00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:34.120
then I'm like, yeah, like I'm giving up, like I'm either I'm on this teeter of, I either

184
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:41.640
I'm like sort of just giving in and like in resignation or I'm resisting and trying to

185
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:47.040
figure it out and understand so I can be better and figure, you know, figure out what's happening,

186
00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:50.200
why and how to fix it.

187
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.760
And then I was like, but with the Lord, I was like, I feel like it's either like this

188
00:18:52.760 --> 00:18:58.280
resignation or this resistance and neither one I was like, I feel like I just, and this

189
00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:00.800
has more to do, I guess, with the spiritual awakening too.

190
00:19:00.800 --> 00:19:04.160
And like the emotional healing and trauma and everything healing that he's doing that

191
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:10.160
I'm like, I just feel like I'm here for the resurrection of, you know, like the seed that

192
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.360
had to die, the chrysalis, you know, that feels like death.

193
00:19:14.360 --> 00:19:18.000
And so it was just like a cool moment of like, I didn't mean to come up with those R words,

194
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.440
but there was just my desperate in the shower kind of moment that I was like, I feel like

195
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.920
I'm either like giving up hope or I'm like in a pattern of resisting and I'm wearing

196
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.920
myself out.

197
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.640
But like, I just want to be reborn, you know, like in all of this.

198
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:37.880
I want to see hope, which the resurrection is ultimate hope, you know, and that what

199
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.960
his suffering bore, you know, birth, I guess, was the resurrection.

200
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.320
So out of all that came the beauty, you know, but yeah.

201
00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:54.760
You were saying about, you know, not, not living in that place of like giving up and

202
00:19:54.760 --> 00:20:00.000
just sort of resigning, you know, and that can be part of that.

203
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.880
the fear lack sort of internal ingredients

204
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.440
that you were saying.

205
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.840
Yeah, and what you mentioned was really wise

206
00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:10.680
and very insightful because that usually

207
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.080
is what we teeter between

208
00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:14.080
and God doesn't want either one of those choices,

209
00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:16.400
the resignation or the resistance.

210
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.680
Because the resistance, remember that if we're not in rest,

211
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.840
we're in an active state of resistance.

212
00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:26.720
So that resistance requires effort and exertion,

213
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.600
you know, as a force against something

214
00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:33.560
that we feel that is being, you know, put on us

215
00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:37.000
or being, you know, forced on us or coming against us.

216
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.080
And it takes a lot of work.

217
00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:44.160
Resistance works, but it works in the kingdom of the world,

218
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.120
you know, but in the kingdom of the Lord,

219
00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:48.400
you know, in the kingdom of God,

220
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:53.280
we don't have to resist, we can just neutralize it

221
00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:55.480
because it's actually not a threat.

222
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.480
If we call it a threat, well, then the only way to,

223
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.840
because we've identified it as a threat,

224
00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:03.960
in other words, we've named it that,

225
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.520
therefore with that name comes all of the law,

226
00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:10.960
it comes all of the, I don't know, the description,

227
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.520
what principles are in effect, sort of.

228
00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:23.720
So therefore with it comes all of these other things

229
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.720
that are attached by strings to what a threat is.

230
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.640
And it means like, okay, if it's a threat,

231
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.840
it means that there are all of these laws and rules

232
00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:34.480
and principles by which it operates

233
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.920
and therefore have to engage those laws and principles

234
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.560
in order to oppose the threat.

235
00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:43.600
But if we don't label it as a threat,

236
00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:46.240
we don't have to deal with all of those things

237
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.880
that threats are connected to,

238
00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:51.680
that all of those laws and principles by which it works.

239
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.280
So in other words, it does work,

240
00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:56.200
that that's the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

241
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.720
and God's like, hey, there's a better way,

242
00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.480
there is a more restful way.

243
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.680
And that's what Jesus came to do,

244
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.960
is he said, hey, y'all are used to operating

245
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.920
according to the truth, knowledge of good and evil

246
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.320
and your covenant with me was through that.

247
00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:11.840
And that's why there had to be a sacrifice

248
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:13.280
and there had to be whatever.

249
00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:15.240
He said, but now you have the opportunity

250
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:20.240
to just live by a different set of rules and principles

251
00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:24.120
and those you can, I positioned you in a place

252
00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:25.600
where everything is beneath you

253
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.440
and everything is below the power is,

254
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.560
you have power and authority over everything else.

255
00:22:31.560 --> 00:22:34.960
And so therefore, it's anything that contrast

256
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.440
from the issue isn't actually a threat.

257
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.960
It's perceived.

258
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.680
Yes, it's a perceived threat

259
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.160
if we choose to perceive it as such.

260
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.160
So anyway, it's if we just, if we realize,

261
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.720
okay, and I have to do this with my skin,

262
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.880
I have to realize, okay, and this is a huge,

263
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.440
I'm glad that we're getting to this in the conversation

264
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.360
because that's a huge part of what I had to do

265
00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:02.960
in order to let go and to release

266
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.640
is I had to stop thinking of it as a threat.

267
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:07.880
I had to stop thinking even of my body

268
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.200
as being a threat to me

269
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.840
or something being in threat against my body

270
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:15.000
or my body being a threat against me

271
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.760
because my particular issue is an autoimmune

272
00:23:18.760 --> 00:23:22.120
because it's your body, you know,

273
00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:24.320
attacking itself and creating an issue

274
00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:27.120
when there's no need for it to, you know.

275
00:23:28.280 --> 00:23:32.000
And so I have to not think of something

276
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.560
coming against my body.

277
00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:36.480
In other words, my body being vulnerable to

278
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.080
and weak against like this outside enemy.

279
00:23:40.080 --> 00:23:42.120
And I also can't treat my body

280
00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:46.360
and view my body like an enemy that I'm trying to combat

281
00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:48.160
or that is a threat to me.

282
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.120
And because if I do see it as the threat,

283
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:52.760
that's how I have to engage it

284
00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:55.480
in order to get it to stop or to change.

285
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:58.440
I have to engage it as I have to, as you do a threat.

286
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.000
I have to engage it by all those principles, et cetera.

287
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.000
But if it's not called this thing called threat,

288
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.880
well, then I don't have to, I don't have to engage,

289
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.400
then I don't have to engage those principles

290
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.560
and whatever that the word threat

291
00:24:12.560 --> 00:24:15.960
that the kingdom operates in

292
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.400
that that word threat exists in, you know.

293
00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:19.880
If I'm gonna call it this thing,

294
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:21.640
well, that thing, it's called that in this kingdom.

295
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.520
So therefore, if I'm gonna call it that,

296
00:24:23.520 --> 00:24:25.400
I'm recognizing this kingdom and I'm saying,

297
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.520
okay, I recognize you

298
00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:28.840
and therefore I'm gonna have to engage with you like that.

299
00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:30.280
Because there's no such thing as threat

300
00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:32.160
in the kingdom of God, if that makes sense.

301
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.320
So that has helped me to say,

302
00:24:35.320 --> 00:24:36.880
while I'm having faith in the Lord,

303
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.160
Lord, where's the manifestation of the healing?

304
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.200
Because I'm like, okay, I, instead of choosing healing God,

305
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.080
I choose that you're good.

306
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:46.680
I choose that your provision,

307
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:48.240
I choose that you provide for me.

308
00:24:49.080 --> 00:24:51.120
I choose that you are, that you're a provider,

309
00:24:51.120 --> 00:24:52.360
that you're a protector.

310
00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:54.560
I choose that you are these things.

311
00:24:54.560 --> 00:24:56.800
And I sit, you know, just like David did.

312
00:24:56.800 --> 00:24:58.560
And I think that there's somewhere.

313
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.920
else in scripture talks about this, but basically, you know, just waiting on the Lord.

314
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.800
You know, I'm waiting to see the goodness of God in the land of the living or something like that,

315
00:25:10.800 --> 00:25:15.200
Lord, I'm just waiting to see this manifestation. And we don't know why it takes so long.

316
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:20.960
We don't know why we have to wait. But the thing is that God gives us that,

317
00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:27.360
that expectation, and that precedence in scripture, that there's such a thing as waiting,

318
00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:33.600
where we don't know why, you know, and we're just like, Okay, but I'm still here. And I'm,

319
00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:39.760
I'm in this thing called waiting. So how do I exist in the waiting, that we do it in faith,

320
00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:45.440
but and then we have to so I have to choose God, I choose you over.

321
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:58.000
Or the in other words, I value you, I choose you as my higher value than me being healed of this

322
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:07.040
thing. In other words, I choose you over you manifesting your character in x, y and z way

323
00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:14.800
in this very specific way. I choose that that's my higher value. And that is true faith. And then

324
00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:21.200
in the meantime, still wanting this, this healing or whatever, that's that waiting on the Lord. But

325
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.720
what we've done is we have switched our value system to choosing him over the healing. And

326
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:34.720
that's what's called a sacrifice, where we have to let go. That being our higher value,

327
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:39.360
doesn't mean we don't value it. But we let go of that as being our higher value and choose

328
00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:49.280
God instead. That's the sacrifice. So that is that waiting on the Lord. Because we all wonder

329
00:26:49.280 --> 00:26:54.160
what's this whole waiting on the Lord mean? That's, that's what that is. It's that time

330
00:26:54.160 --> 00:27:01.760
between letting go and still being there. You're letting go of holding it an accusation against the

331
00:27:01.760 --> 00:27:06.240
Lord, not letting holding an accusation of the Lord. And yet you're still, you're still in the

332
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:13.920
situation, you know, and so anyway, that's really good. That's really good. I'm going to have to

333
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:19.200
chew on that stuff for sure. Like a lot, because this is definitely on my heart, like all the time

334
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:23.600
as you, you know, as you know, like these things are on your mind when you're walking through them,

335
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:29.120
you're in the middle of it. And, and there's been times like, I think I mentioned to you on the

336
00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:33.120
Marco initially that I was like, I just had this sentence, like, I don't know if it's Holy Spirit

337
00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:36.960
or what, that you were walking through something similar. And not that I didn't know, you had

338
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.560
described to me the allergic reaction once, but you were getting to, I think the bottom of like

339
00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:45.440
detergent and the sheets at that time, maybe closer to a year ago with maybe like your mother,

340
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.600
your mother-in-law, I can't remember. Oh yeah. That's my mom. And so like, very good memory.

341
00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:54.720
Ongoing thing. So there wasn't, you know, there was kind of like a sense, but it felt

342
00:27:55.520 --> 00:27:59.680
like it was the Lord where it was like, we were, you know, we've been apart, you and I haven't

343
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:05.840
caught up in a while, but I just walking through all this, especially like the autoimmune stuff and

344
00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:10.000
it amping up over the past several months, as far as like the physical side of things,

345
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.000
cause there was already, you know, the spiritual emotional. And then it's like, now there's like

346
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:22.240
more physical symptoms through, I would say like from the end of May, which is the last hearing

347
00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:28.000
to now, like there's been a whole slew of things where it's like, now it's bringing in

348
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:34.160
like my counselor, she, she, she had, she actually used the word sack, like offering as a,

349
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:39.920
as a sacrifice like last week. And it's interesting because we were talking about these.

350
00:28:41.520 --> 00:28:46.080
One of the ways it shows up is like, has been this insomnia slash like spiritual attack,

351
00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:49.280
but then I don't know. Now I've got like a hormonal imbalance issue,

352
00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:53.440
which I never dealt with before. Again, like that's something that I was like, Oh,

353
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.800
at least I don't have hormone imbalance. Like a lot of my friends are dealing with this, you know,

354
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:02.000
40 ish. And that's still very young, but a lot of them are in the day we live in.

355
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.400
And so I'm thinking, okay, that, you know, that's at least there's not that. And then

356
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.960
my naturopath, he's a strong believer is like, well, we're looking at like estrogen dominance

357
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.920
and, you know, going these routes of that's been a really frustrating process because I only see

358
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:22.560
him every three months out of town. And in between I'm living every day with like, I feel like I'm

359
00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:27.120
dying sometimes. Like, it's just, it's, it's what you're describing. It was like the perfect

360
00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:32.720
description. Like it's like crawling through your body. Like I've got this burning itching

361
00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:38.320
psoriasis, but also in my ears. And then my ears it's led from like,

362
00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:43.520
to just suddenly like so many earaches and ear pain day after day in the middle of the night

363
00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:48.480
and night is in the year. And so, but the hormonal things, it's hard to even to tell

364
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:53.360
like, is this spiritual attack or is this hormonal? Because around my cycle suddenly

365
00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:57.280
also with that comes to like PMS that I've never dealt with. And I'm going,

366
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:59.760
I feel like my body is crawling.

367
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.360
my cycle. And this has only happened a few times over the summer in my life where I'm like, oh my

368
00:30:05.360 --> 00:30:10.320
gosh, what's happening. And then I hit some kind of period insomnia where I can't sleep for a week.

369
00:30:11.120 --> 00:30:15.840
And I feel like all the symptoms on top of it that are day to day on top of that, I like,

370
00:30:15.840 --> 00:30:22.560
I'm like, how am I going to even make it through the day, um, on little sleep and,

371
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.760
and just in, in the spiritual type. But she was saying like, offer that, like, if you can offer

372
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.640
when you wake up from that, not knowing what is spiritual necessarily, or what's hormonal

373
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:38.320
or how they're playing together. And tell the Lord, like, I don't know, I don't know where

374
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:42.400
this is coming from. I don't, you know, I don't know how to fix it, but like, I offer it to you

375
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:49.520
as a sacrifice. Um, uh, that was like, that reminded me of what you were just saying, like

376
00:30:49.520 --> 00:30:56.320
choosing, choosing him in spite of it all choosing him over it, choosing him in the midst of it and

377
00:30:56.320 --> 00:31:05.280
not knowing really having a lot of answers, um, surrounding it, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

378
00:31:05.280 --> 00:31:10.320
Choosing him. And when I do let go, I feel like you said, like, there's that, that is,

379
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:16.560
I feel like I'm getting closer to the answer and then the, the pain, the constant, like grading,

380
00:31:16.560 --> 00:31:23.680
like, like, what can I do? What am I doing wrong? And I think it's actually attached to,

381
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.760
to a lie that like, I need to break agreement with because the Lord really has set me free

382
00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:34.640
from that lie. Um, that I'm bad and that there's something like really wrong with me or evil

383
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.800
about me. And I had shared that with you and some close friends and mentors along the way,

384
00:31:38.800 --> 00:31:42.640
especially this year. And it's like, I broke agreement with that, like replaced that. And

385
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:46.320
it was huge that the spiritual attacks that were coming, the night terrors, whatever they were

386
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:52.240
every, almost every night, like they, they went from like almost every night to like,

387
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:59.840
maybe once every couple of weeks. That's amazing. That's wonderful. I mean, that is huge. You don't

388
00:31:59.840 --> 00:32:05.040
even know how many months we were like, okay. I mean, even if it could just be a reprieve,

389
00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:09.680
you know? So like agreeing with that lie was huge, but then the enemy or whatever,

390
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:14.000
whether we call it the enemy or my own perceptions, my own shadow, whatever,

391
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:19.520
like I, the past few weeks, there's been all this breakthrough with the Lord. And he had me like,

392
00:32:19.520 --> 00:32:24.000
he just spoke to me in such dramatic way a few weeks ago, kind of pulled me over. I'm one of

393
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.960
those accosting kind of moments. And then I felt so much peace in my body. I was like, I'm like

394
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:33.520
drunk. I am like so high right now. I don't even know what's happening. You know? I mean, I've had

395
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:38.800
lots of encounters with the Lord, but not like where this euphoric peace just takes over my body

396
00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:43.120
from all these auto-immune pains and symptoms and whatever. And suddenly all I feel is euphoria.

397
00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:48.560
So I'm like, wow. Okay. Like I'm listening. And he was speaking and speaking and it was really

398
00:32:48.560 --> 00:32:52.640
profound. And then he had me go to this event and was like, you're the woman with the issue of

399
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.840
blood, which he's been speaking to me about for a year and a half since my honeymoon. He said

400
00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:00.000
during my honeymoon of all times, you're the woman with the issue of blood.

401
00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:06.240
And so I'm thinking, okay, like I've been wrestling with him, you know, throughout this

402
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:11.360
time, 18 months, like, okay, what, looking at that story multiple, multiple times, what does that

403
00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:16.720
say about, you know, my situation, me, what do you, what are you asking Lord of me? That kind

404
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.280
of thing. And then he said it again that day and was like, I want you to go. It's like an issue of

405
00:33:21.280 --> 00:33:26.400
the woman with the issue of blood. And I'm like there, I had found out about this gathering that

406
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:33.440
was in St. Louis that my mentors are like part of my Australian mentors, Nate and Christy Johnston

407
00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:37.680
have partnered with this other woman and whatever, and they're doing this thing together.

408
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:41.920
And I didn't even know that because I'm not on social media at all. So I completely missed that,

409
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:48.400
but through a friend, Amber, you know, her she had moved to Missouri and she ends up saying this

410
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:53.760
and I'm kind of was like, you know, when you're kind of like, you can't do all the things you

411
00:33:53.760 --> 00:33:57.680
want to do because of your condition or whatever your pain you're in, you know, you have to say no

412
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:02.240
to a lot of things. And so I was kind of like, I've been in the season for a year and a half

413
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.880
or gradually of this rest sabbatical. And I'm like, Lord, my mentors are coming so close by.

414
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:12.080
And I didn't even know, like, I was just so kind of offended at first. And then he spoke to me.

415
00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:16.320
It was like, you're going to go. And I was like, what? I'm not going, you know, like I would say,

416
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:21.440
I would say no to it if it wasn't like directly, the Lord told me to go and he did. And so we ended

417
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:27.679
up going and receiving prayer and I have, and a lot of things happened. And so it was like,

418
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:33.840
then all of the slew of everything felt like it just came on me again, like attack. I hate to

419
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:37.360
use that because I know, again, we don't, we don't have to succumb to spiritual attack, but

420
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.719
as soon as all those, that, that week was over with like significance of what the Lord was doing

421
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:47.920
and speaking. And I mean, the prayer, I believe there was like a lot of forgiveness that was

422
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.239
released. And also I believe deliverance to like, I don't, I don't think that just because the

423
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:57.200
tinnitus didn't immediately go away, that there wasn't major breakthrough. I know there was,

424
00:34:57.200 --> 00:34:59.760
you know what I mean? So depending on that, when the end.

425
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.520
comes again or whatever lies. And like, look, see, like you're making this up. Like that,

426
00:35:05.520 --> 00:35:09.440
like that wasn't really that big of a deal. And God's not really speaking to you. Like you think

427
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.080
he is like, look at all your symptoms again, like they're not gone. And now it just hitting me

428
00:35:14.080 --> 00:35:19.840
harder with all this full force of like the emotional, the spiritual attacks and the physical

429
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:25.520
symptoms all the past couple of weeks have been added like an all-time high. So it's one of those,

430
00:35:25.520 --> 00:35:30.160
like he tries to make you think, or you, your perceptions, whatever the enemy is trying to make

431
00:35:30.160 --> 00:35:35.520
you think that you didn't get receive healing, that you're not whatever, that that didn't happen.

432
00:35:35.520 --> 00:35:40.000
So you almost want to like fall more into despair because it's like, I thought this,

433
00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:46.480
but apparently, you know what I mean? It's almost like apparently not. But that's not really the

434
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.240
case. It's just these old lies are trying to come back around. And I think that's what,

435
00:35:50.240 --> 00:35:57.360
why I brought it up is that I think that lie that I'm bad, like I deserve bad things is trying to

436
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:02.240
resurface that I wrote to say like, okay, well, when these symptoms are coming upon you and the

437
00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:06.720
fact that you have all this autoimmune stuff going on, no doctors know anything you're even going to

438
00:36:07.600 --> 00:36:12.320
a naturopath and they, you know, they can only do so much, you know, like, but I'm almost getting

439
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.680
like frustrated too with that. Cause I'm like, okay, I'm only seeing him every three months.

440
00:36:15.680 --> 00:36:18.560
And then in between, he doesn't know what's going on. And I don't feel

441
00:36:19.680 --> 00:36:25.200
hurt. I don't feel like I have actual support in the day to day of navigating because I'm to

442
00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:30.880
the point where like, I can barely move sometimes, or I'm trying to eat anti candida diet because

443
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.000
I'm dealing with like what they say syndrome, a candida systemic fungal infection that's now in

444
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.720
my ears, that's causing, you know, pain and tinnitus and ringing and all of this. And I've

445
00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:44.320
got, you know, headaches and pains, psoriasis, itching, burning, burning in my ears. Like

446
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.720
every day, all day, I'm supposed to only be eating meat and vegetables. I was supposed to

447
00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:54.080
be only eating that. And when it comes to a hormonal week with this new PMS, whatever, I,

448
00:36:54.080 --> 00:36:59.120
I didn't make my own bone broth and I didn't do all the anti candida diet stuff. Like I didn't

449
00:36:59.120 --> 00:37:03.520
do it perfectly because I was just in such survival. And I can beat myself up going like,

450
00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:07.840
I'm not doing all the right things. Cause for this fungal infection, you need to starve off

451
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.400
all forms of sugar. What, you know, any dairy, sugar grains, anything that can turn to sugar

452
00:37:13.120 --> 00:37:18.480
and be really, really strict. But then that's kind of back on me. But I think the overall thing is

453
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:25.360
like almost agreeing with unknowingly this, this lie that it has something to do with me. And that

454
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:30.880
like, it's happening because there's something wrong with me or I deserve bad things. And

455
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:38.800
that's where I can see lately those things colliding where it's like, I'm tempted to

456
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:43.760
partner with that belief that, okay, there's some, like, if this is bad, this is a threat,

457
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:50.960
like you said, like, this means bad things about me. And I'm trapped, like I'm stuck. I'm,

458
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:58.400
you know, this, this can't be good. Right. Kind of thing. I'm believing that versus

459
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.880
I actually have several friends that are going through this, like close friends,

460
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:06.320
cause I only talk to my close friends right now that are going through this. And I know

461
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.840
there's gotta be a lot more of us that are going through some type of auto-immune type of

462
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:16.960
chronic attack or whatever you call it, but then to not call it attack and to not talk about it

463
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:22.320
can be really isolating. You know, like you have to find ways to talk, especially with like close

464
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:28.400
friends to not feel like you're the only one or to like work through and remember the truth,

465
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.480
but then also you don't want to refer to it as, oh, I'm going to do this, this, this, this,

466
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.120
and this, and this, you know, and, and start to believe that it's a threat, like you were saying.

467
00:38:37.120 --> 00:38:42.400
So, so how do you acknowledge it and not deny that you're walking through it and that it's

468
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:50.960
difficult? You know what I mean? And relate to people on it, but also not engage with that.

469
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:56.400
Like I'm in lack and this is a threat and all of that. And the other thing is for me, probably

470
00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:03.760
like, where is this? I'm bad or I deserve this. Or if I'm going through this, it means that I'm

471
00:39:04.640 --> 00:39:09.600
bad. Things are going to happen or that I I'm going to continue to get bad things. Like it's,

472
00:39:09.600 --> 00:39:14.000
it's kind of that probably mix of like hypervigilance from trauma, which is just

473
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.760
says like, there's always issues going to drop. You know what I mean? Where it's like I'm living

474
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:23.120
in that, but then I'm living it out through my body too, through these symptoms to where.

475
00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:30.960
It just feels so debilitating. Like, I don't know how to sometimes break the emotional

476
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:36.160
ties, the spiritual lie, you know, and the physical manifestation of how it's coming out.

477
00:39:38.240 --> 00:39:45.760
Like separate those and go, like you were saying, my body is good and God is good in my body. And,

478
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.720
you know, but I'm finding that when we do partner in those ways, that's the best that it gets.

479
00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:57.760
Like when I do let go and I do, I'm just, you know, like releasing to the Lord and

480
00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.840
letting him in and those kinds of thoughts.

481
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.160
and those belief systems that I'm choosing. And I'm saying, I choose this, you know, I choose

482
00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:10.720
whatever, those are the best times. So I'm onto something you're onto something there, you know?

483
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:20.400
Yeah. Um, well, uh, one thing, you know, faith isn't faith if we're denying reality

484
00:40:21.200 --> 00:40:25.760
in order to choose this. So if we're going to choose this, we have to acknowledge that this

485
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:32.480
is still going on. This is how I feel like, like physically, this is how I feel. And emotionally,

486
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:39.600
this is how I feel, you know, just acknowledging the reality of life and choosing God in,

487
00:40:40.560 --> 00:40:47.760
in the face of that reality, because all we're doing is we're choosing to value and to give

488
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:55.360
authority to one reality over another. They both exist at the same time. So it's not like, well,

489
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:59.200
this is true or this is true. No, they're both true at the same time. Which one are you going

490
00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:04.320
to give the authority and the power to? So that's what we're doing. So like you said, you know,

491
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:09.360
we never want to deny the reality of this is how I'm physically feeling. This is what's

492
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:16.480
physically going on. This is emotionally how I feel about it, et cetera. Um, so that's very

493
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:21.680
important. Um, I'm sorry, I'm trying to remember, um, all of, I thought of several things where you

494
00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:29.040
were talking that I was concerned. I'm so sorry. I wasn't going to remember, but let me know. You'd

495
00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:33.920
ask me some questions. So you'd asked me two specific questions. So can you remind me what

496
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:39.280
the, um, but then this is my process, like all the time. So I feel like different questions,

497
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:44.560
but it's, it's sort of, so it's not your fault at all because it's, it is like sort of that.

498
00:41:44.560 --> 00:41:49.440
Like you said, I'm not sure for my own self, how to articulate it and tell anyone about it. It's

499
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:55.280
very rare that I talk to anybody like I'm talking to you, um, about it because of that. And they

500
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:01.520
have to have the experience to even begin to understand. Yeah. Just why I'm where I'm at,

501
00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:07.280
you know? Um, but I think it's something you're asking me, like something that you're wanting.

502
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.160
I'm trying to, you know, address that. And I'm like, okay, so, so which one, and I'm trying to,

503
00:42:12.160 --> 00:42:16.480
and I thought of things where you were talking and then, but then as weird as it was, you'd go

504
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.840
to the next thing and I'd remit. And I think it's something there. And then I forget.

505
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:26.560
So you sound like trying to follow my verbal processing. So I should,

506
00:42:26.560 --> 00:42:29.840
no, no, no. I followed it. It was just my response and remembering

507
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:34.560
what he wants to in the moment and then he completely forgets. So it's like a thing that

508
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.640
finally told me that this happens a lot for him and that he doesn't, you know,

509
00:42:40.640 --> 00:42:44.560
like he was not even saying it for a long time and now we've been addressing it where it's like,

510
00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:50.080
looking on saying when I'm just verbally processing, as in, I just want to then to kind

511
00:42:50.080 --> 00:42:56.480
of, yeah. And then, um, get to the actual part where I'm like, okay, so I'd like to understand

512
00:42:56.480 --> 00:43:00.720
this or have a conversation about such and such and kind of give him a few sentences at a time.

513
00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:09.680
So that can be like a dialogue verbally processing. And now we can get to like more specifics. Um,

514
00:43:09.680 --> 00:43:14.400
yeah, I did think of something though that I was going to say, and one of them was,

515
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:18.800
so I don't remember like which place this inserts into, but you'll know. I mean,

516
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:24.720
like what thing that you've got, but yeah, I understand. I you're like me,

517
00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:27.200
I'm a verbal processor as well. So I'm like at all, at all.

518
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:37.200
But, uh, so, and that is something that, um, that Ed constantly reminds me as, and that is that,

519
00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:42.240
um, uh, that, you know, actually when you've done something, cause you were talking about

520
00:43:42.240 --> 00:43:46.320
like, you've already prayed to the Lord, you, you know, and even though you didn't see a physical

521
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:52.400
manifestation of the tech and the tinnitus going away, you knew that there had been a change,

522
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:58.880
but, and there had been a breakthrough, but that you were, you were frustrated with the, um, with

523
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:04.880
the fact that emotional, spiritual and physical symptoms were coming up again, you know, and just

524
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:10.800
all like all at once. And, um, and so therefore it creates, you know, doubt, even though we don't

525
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:17.600
want it, it just creates doubt. Well, I, um, it was something that he reminds me of. He was, um,

526
00:44:17.600 --> 00:44:22.400
I'm doing a breakthrough program right now and, um, I'm almost done with it, but, um,

527
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:27.520
I'm supposed to finish last week, but I got sick and he was reminding them of the same thing.

528
00:44:28.080 --> 00:44:37.200
And that is, um, when we're healing the process and like believing the Lord and going through

529
00:44:37.200 --> 00:44:42.960
like spiritual healing and, you know, quote unquote deliverance and things like that is we

530
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:49.360
have to choose that. We have to remember God's the one who does everything. We're not doing it.

531
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:56.320
We're not, we're coming into agreement with it. Yeah. But we're not causing it to happen. We're

532
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:59.840
not delivering ourselves. We're not healing ourselves. We're

533
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.560
not breaking something off. He is the one doing it. We're just coming into agreement with him

534
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:13.920
with the fact that we are not in bondage to that anymore. And that's what breaks it off

535
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:18.880
is because he does it that we come into agreement with the fact that he says this is true.

536
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:23.680
And that's what breaks it hold on us is we're simply coming into agreement with the fact that

537
00:45:23.680 --> 00:45:29.040
he's done something and that he's doing something. And so because everything is a gift from the Lord,

538
00:45:29.040 --> 00:45:37.040
the Bible says, including faith. So even our agreement, or, you know, so the thing is that

539
00:45:37.040 --> 00:45:43.520
when we're in place of like, not not just in the moment when we're asking the Lord to be

540
00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:48.160
delivered to something or to get breakthrough or to or to be healed, or we're choosing faith

541
00:45:48.160 --> 00:45:53.040
or whatever, not just in the moment, but later in the residual, like for instance, for you,

542
00:45:53.040 --> 00:45:58.080
the past couple of weeks or whatever, when all these questions start up. So in the moment,

543
00:45:58.080 --> 00:46:05.920
and after we have to choose that God really is who he says that he is, and that he did what he

544
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:13.440
said he's going to do. And that that he really did do the thing. Because otherwise, we question,

545
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:18.960
oh, I wonder if it worked. I wonder if I did it right. I wonder if I followed the form spiritual

546
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:23.040
formula, right to release myself of this and to break this. And I wonder if I really did come

547
00:46:23.040 --> 00:46:31.680
into agreement. And I wonder, and we have to choose. And we think that we are questioning

548
00:46:31.680 --> 00:46:37.520
ourselves. We think, Oh, no, God says everything, right? I probably just didn't understand or I

549
00:46:37.520 --> 00:46:43.120
didn't whatever. And we have to choose that. And while yeah, there is a journey on stuff like that.

550
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:49.360
What my point is, we have to remember that God's the one who does everything anyway.

551
00:46:53.440 --> 00:47:01.200
We have to be consistent in our faith, that what he did in healing us and delivering us

552
00:47:01.200 --> 00:47:07.120
and breaking those chains off or whatever really did happen. And understand that we'll have like

553
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:12.480
physical manifestations of stuff that look like it didn't happen. Because we're like, well,

554
00:47:13.520 --> 00:47:20.160
surely this with the church, surely the chain reaction of doing this would have caused this

555
00:47:20.160 --> 00:47:22.960
and because this didn't happen, well, then maybe this didn't happen.

556
00:47:27.120 --> 00:47:32.320
It's that whole thing of like, which reality both or both are true, which one are you going to get

557
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:37.120
the power and the authority to the fact that you're still seeing this or the fact that God

558
00:47:37.120 --> 00:47:42.480
said this and you stood in agreement with him on this. So again, that whole aspect of like,

559
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:50.480
there's this there's this discrepancy or this gap between where the two realities are

560
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:56.640
coexisting at the same time. And which one are you going to choose? And that whole,

561
00:47:56.640 --> 00:48:01.520
in the whole, that's that that period in which we call it waiting on the Lord.

562
00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:06.480
We're waiting on the Lord for our healing in our physical bodies and our most emotionally

563
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:13.360
in our spiritual maturity. You know, we're that we're in that we're in that. And in that,

564
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:21.360
that gap, at least coexisting at once is called that waiting on the Lord. So that's something

565
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:26.560
that I would encourage you with is that remember during those times that you don't

566
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:27.940
under

567
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.440
it's not obligation. You're not under

568
00:48:41.520 --> 00:48:50.800
you're not forced. There's a word for it, but to maybe coerced. Yeah. And you're you don't have to

569
00:48:56.720 --> 00:49:02.320
what we think is happening. And therefore it's a reality I have to acknowledge

570
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:09.040
and reality that we acknowledge. We think there's all of these meanings to it that we're,

571
00:49:09.040 --> 00:49:14.000
that we're thinking we have to acknowledge. This is like the, the everyday thing pause

572
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:19.600
for just a second, because I just need to communicate that this is, this is the kicker,

573
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:24.080
like what you're on right now. Cause I know a lot of things are important and a lot of things

574
00:49:24.080 --> 00:49:30.560
resonate. I need to, to pipe up because this is like, this is where the rubber meets the road

575
00:49:30.560 --> 00:49:37.920
for me. This is the constant cyclical battle. And even again, my counselor was saying, she,

576
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:42.480
she was saying, it's like the I'm hearing like the, it's like the dichotomy between this reality

577
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:47.600
and this world, this world and this world, like there's some kind of don't know how to bridge that.

578
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:53.680
But specifically what you were just saying is, is huge. And I want to make sure

579
00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:59.840
that I'm understanding, I guess, because it is such a constant that I haven't fully resolved.

580
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.080
You know? Yeah. And you were talking about the fact that both realities are existing at once

581
00:50:06.720 --> 00:50:12.560
or a specific aspect. I don't know if I can wholly remember. This is what happens when

582
00:50:12.560 --> 00:50:19.680
you're on like two nights of sleep out of 10. So forgive me my brain. It's like, um, definitely,

583
00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:27.840
I guess that, yeah, holding both at once, like definitely not be so black and white,

584
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:32.400
but to see both, but also to not what you were saying about not having, not having to,

585
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:38.560
or being bound to, to, um, question or doubt. I don't know how you were saying that, but like,

586
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.160
there's a three-step process. So let's think of it like this. In fact, this is something that I

587
00:50:46.160 --> 00:50:50.000
was just teaching my, uh, that I'm currently in the middle of teaching my breakthrough program

588
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.720
because it's like the last few sessions. So it's fresh on my mind. Cause I was just talking to

589
00:50:54.720 --> 00:51:00.720
somebody in my program about a couple of days ago, the very first thing that we have to do.

590
00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:04.160
So Lord, you know, Hey, good timing. You know, the Lord has this fresh on my mind

591
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:09.680
because he prompted you to reach out and like, okay, so hopefully this will be helpful.

592
00:51:09.680 --> 00:51:13.360
Cause this is just something that I came to a realization to, um, cause I wrote it into the

593
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.440
program. I'm like, okay, well, you know, this is, this is important. These are important elements.

594
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.040
But then when I was talking to one of the ladies in the group, just the other day, I realized,

595
00:51:21.040 --> 00:51:25.600
oh my word, that's like literally the three-step kind of like process.

596
00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:32.560
I bet that hopefully gives, hopefully like breaks it down for people to be able to grab a hold of.

597
00:51:32.560 --> 00:51:36.720
And so all of this, including myself, and that's what I built the whole program off of was my own

598
00:51:36.720 --> 00:51:41.440
experience. How did I get breakthrough? What worked versus, and then just forget everything

599
00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:46.240
that didn't work. So in a very short program, or this is something that you're in being coached

600
00:51:46.240 --> 00:51:56.720
through or you're coaching. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And so the very first thing is, um, is to fully

601
00:51:57.520 --> 00:52:03.120
that the, the letting go, the fully accepting oneself as one is and bought. And the reason

602
00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:06.640
to bring this up is, you know, you're talking about like, this is the reality, you know, that

603
00:52:06.640 --> 00:52:11.360
I'm, I'm feeling this way physically, I'm feeling this way, emotionally, I'm struggling this way,

604
00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:19.280
spiritually, you know, bit and fully accepting yourself as you are, including all of the things

605
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:25.200
that you don't fully, um, know yet that you're struggling with. So in other words, you're

606
00:52:25.200 --> 00:52:31.280
struggling, but you haven't been able to articulate all of the areas, you know, um, or, and maybe you

607
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:36.880
don't even know them all yet, you know, so you fully accept yourself, body, soul, and spirit.

608
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:41.440
Those all have individual struggles. And you fully accept your body, you fully accept your

609
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:49.280
soul, you fully accept your spirit, and you fully accept God, all of those things exactly as they

610
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:56.800
are, meaning the good, the bad, and the ugly. And with God, obviously nothing is ever bad or ugly.

611
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:02.160
But the thing that we're struggling with is the fact that we feel that way about him. Sometimes

612
00:53:02.160 --> 00:53:06.400
there are certain areas in which we're feeling bad with. So we have to fully accept

613
00:53:07.520 --> 00:53:15.520
who it is that we are, where we are, like where we are on the journey. Again, good, bad, and the ugly.

614
00:53:15.520 --> 00:53:21.680
And then who God says that he is, and we don't know who that is. So the important part about this

615
00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:28.480
step is you have to fully surrender yourself and choose to accept, to be a safe place

616
00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:33.040
for where all those things can just make you.

617
00:53:35.040 --> 00:53:38.320
Say that again. Sometimes, sometimes your audio goes out, so it's okay.

618
00:53:40.240 --> 00:53:42.720
But no, no worries. I just wanted to catch that line one more time.

619
00:53:43.680 --> 00:53:50.960
Yeah. Sorry. I can't figure out if my AirPods are going out. I need to find new ones. Excuse me.

620
00:53:50.960 --> 00:54:01.120
So, so the thing is that we have to fully accept God and ourselves just as we are. And shoot,

621
00:54:01.120 --> 00:54:06.480
I forgot what I, exactly how I worded that. We question him or something like,

622
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:11.280
sometimes we wrestle with if he's good because of the circumstances or.

623
00:54:13.680 --> 00:54:16.480
Oh, I don't remember what I was saying. That's good. But anyway,

624
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:23.120
act as we do. I'll come back around to it as I, as I process through it again. So, but just the

625
00:54:23.120 --> 00:54:27.440
fact that, you know, we have to fully accept God, you know, as he, Oh, that's what I was saying.

626
00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:36.880
Fully accept God in our spirit, our soul, and our body individually as they are without fully

627
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:44.080
knowing what that is. That we've been able to figure out that we've been to have to face

628
00:54:44.640 --> 00:54:50.000
that have evidence themselves that we've understood that we have to deal with. And

629
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:56.000
we're aware that we have to deal with them, but there are other things about ourselves and about

630
00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:59.760
God that are so deep. We haven't gotten to them yet. And we're.

631
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.200
choosing. Oh, maybe this is what I was saying. We're choosing to be a safe place for the

632
00:55:05.200 --> 00:55:10.080
reality of all four of those things. God, really it's just God and ourselves, but God

633
00:55:10.080 --> 00:55:16.560
and the three parts of ourselves, the spirit, soul, and body to exist in our presence. That's

634
00:55:16.560 --> 00:55:29.040
what I said. Basically, it's like this. Think of a parent creating a safe place for their

635
00:55:29.120 --> 00:55:35.520
child to have a tantrum, or to be messy, or to make mistakes, or to bumble around trying to

636
00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:42.080
figure out how to get it all to work, or how does it work, and then not quite executing it correctly

637
00:55:42.080 --> 00:55:48.720
all the time. But a parent providing a safe place for a child to be who it is while it's trying to

638
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:57.040
figure out its emotions, how to express them, what to do, how to do this. Did I do it correctly?

639
00:55:57.120 --> 00:56:01.280
She's teaching me. Did I do it right? Yeah, I spilled the milk this time.

640
00:56:04.720 --> 00:56:14.400
Being the safe parent, in other words, a being that provides a space, an environment,

641
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:20.960
and acceptance for God, your spirit, your soul, and your body to exist with you just as they are,

642
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:26.800
even all of the bad, even all the bad and the ugly. Okay, I have this much so far provides

643
00:56:27.600 --> 00:56:34.800
provide a safe environment and acceptance for all these four to exist with God. Yeah,

644
00:56:35.680 --> 00:56:42.880
and all those parts of the parts of you to exist with you just as they are without ever changing.

645
00:56:45.200 --> 00:56:49.680
Because they can only change, like, for instance, the things that you want in your body,

646
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:54.640
your soul, your spirit. Well, not your spirit. Spirit's perfect. But what I meant, your soul

647
00:56:54.640 --> 00:57:00.800
and body. And the reason I mentioned your spirit is your soul and your body are in opposition

648
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:04.400
against your spirit, because they're afraid. Remember, they're afraid of their own spirit,

649
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:09.120
because their spirit agrees with the Lord. And so they don't think it's safe, because they don't

650
00:57:09.120 --> 00:57:12.720
think God is provider. So therefore, they don't think the spirit, which is always one with the

651
00:57:12.720 --> 00:57:16.560
father, they don't think that their spirit is providing for them, that kind of thing.

652
00:57:16.560 --> 00:57:24.400
But anyway, so you provide a safe place for all for your, your, for all aspects, you know,

653
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:28.960
God's spirit, soul and body to be who it is, they are even your soul and your body with all of the

654
00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:34.880
bad and ugly, all of the things that they aren't, that they aren't acting right in right now, like,

655
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:39.200
say, for instance, your body, think of it like, with all of its health issues, think of it kind

656
00:57:39.200 --> 00:57:49.600
of like a child, acting out, or not acting out, messily trying to do the right thing,

657
00:57:49.600 --> 00:57:56.720
because it's afraid. Its root base is fear. And therefore, because it's afraid, it's making these

658
00:57:56.720 --> 00:58:02.240
decisions. And you're going, Oh, my word, those are very destructive actions. But why is it doing

659
00:58:02.240 --> 00:58:06.720
it? It's doing it because it's afraid. It's doing it because it has a false belief that it's

660
00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:12.560
abandoned and alone. And that it's in lack and that God's not going to heal it. And then it's

661
00:58:12.560 --> 00:58:18.640
subject to vulnerable to and weak to all of these things that might come at it. You know, I don't

662
00:58:18.640 --> 00:58:24.000
know anything that's coming up from inside, or like your emotions, or anything from the outside,

663
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:30.640
like fragrances or whatever, right. And so being a safe place for your body to be messy for the

664
00:58:30.640 --> 00:58:35.120
fact that your body is simply trying to do your body and your soul are simply just trying to

665
00:58:35.120 --> 00:58:39.840
protect you. They're, they're, they're based in, they're basing all of their decisions, all of

666
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:46.560
their actions on fear, though, on unbelief, unbelief is like your own version of or your,

667
00:58:46.560 --> 00:58:51.680
your articulation of what I've understood internal family systems to mean through my Christian

668
00:58:51.680 --> 00:58:57.200
counselor, because it's like, we're working through the acceptance of all the parts of me,

669
00:58:57.200 --> 00:59:04.800
the stunted, like parts of me as a little girl, she calls them littles. Yeah, we all have. And

670
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:10.000
she said, it's like a whole spectrum that she, she said, I don't actually see any like disorder

671
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:14.960
in you on the spectrum. I think that like, it's, it's healthy and natural coming through trauma

672
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:19.520
and complex trauma to have for all of us to have these parts that are stunted, or that never got

673
00:59:19.520 --> 00:59:28.080
to accept fully accept them. And what's come out the past few months is that I, I guess, like,

674
00:59:28.080 --> 00:59:31.600
I've had, I've had to come to terms with, I mean, the Lord had already started to point to this,

675
00:59:31.600 --> 00:59:38.480
that I have been the one to be the slave driver and the task, like the, like the one that's like,

676
00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:44.800
you need to like, sit down and shut up to all of the littles, former versions of me as a little

677
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:48.880
girl that never got to be saved, that were never able to speak out when I was abused or whatever

678
00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:53.200
was happening to my mom, when she was being abused, whatever. And I had to choke it all

679
00:59:53.200 --> 00:59:57.920
back and then just decide, well, I must be the problem. I must be bad because my parents,

680
00:59:57.920 --> 00:59:59.760
my caregivers, they couldn't be bad. They're the.

681
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.500
authority. So I was, and so then I, but I further through the

682
01:00:04.500 --> 01:00:07.660
protectors, which you were just talking about the protectors,

683
01:00:07.660 --> 01:00:11.180
like, I could feel it like a wave go through my body when you

684
01:00:11.180 --> 01:00:15.600
said it, like I felt from here all the way down, like my whole

685
01:00:15.600 --> 01:00:21.120
torso, this wave, and I think it has to do with, because you're

686
01:00:21.120 --> 01:00:24.900
describing what it is that we're processing right now and

687
01:00:24.900 --> 01:00:29.060
beginning to like, come to is like, unless I reparent and

688
01:00:29.060 --> 01:00:32.120
fully accept all the parts of me and the littles that never

689
01:00:32.120 --> 01:00:36.540
got to be loved or accepted and safe, then I'm shoving them

690
01:00:36.540 --> 01:00:39.580
down and telling them to sit down and shut up. And I want to

691
01:00:39.580 --> 01:00:43.960
ignore and deny them so I can move on without them without

692
01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:47.140
like, as if like, I can correct. I don't I don't want to

693
01:00:47.140 --> 01:00:49.660
remember them. Like, that's, that's how I'm living. I don't

694
01:00:49.660 --> 01:00:52.220
want to remember you. And the protectors in me are like, we

695
01:00:52.220 --> 01:00:54.460
don't have to go back there. Jesus died, he paid for it. So

696
01:00:54.460 --> 01:00:57.540
why do we need to go back? Correct. Right? Because she

697
01:00:57.540 --> 01:01:00.180
said, Jesus, and especially when he comes into these, and we,

698
01:01:00.220 --> 01:01:04.700
you know, he comes into these memories and things. He's, he's

699
01:01:04.740 --> 01:01:10.100
allowing or even maybe inviting us to go back, not because not

700
01:01:10.100 --> 01:01:13.740
because the gospel isn't true, or that we're under any kind of

701
01:01:13.740 --> 01:01:18.420
old anything, but because he's honoring, he wants to honor that

702
01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:22.940
what happened to us, like, what happened to us that never was,

703
01:01:22.940 --> 01:01:25.020
was acknowledged or dealt with. He wants to acknowledge and

704
01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:29.540
honor that because it mattered. And it matters. No, it's not the

705
01:01:29.540 --> 01:01:33.100
totality of who we are. It is a big part of who we are. And if

706
01:01:33.100 --> 01:01:36.260
we just deny the past, and we don't acknowledge it and fully

707
01:01:36.260 --> 01:01:39.580
like, integrated as and get like the healing so we can be whole,

708
01:01:39.580 --> 01:01:42.300
all the parts of us can be wholly functioning together,

709
01:01:43.060 --> 01:01:45.540
where some aren't being told to sit down and shut up. And some

710
01:01:45.540 --> 01:01:47.980
aren't trying to protect when they don't need to anymore. And

711
01:01:47.980 --> 01:01:50.660
it means then we can be in harmony. So

712
01:01:52.020 --> 01:01:54.940
it's bringing salvation to all the other parts of you. You're

713
01:01:55.100 --> 01:01:58.740
you're completely saved. It's just that it's not like we're

714
01:01:58.740 --> 01:02:02.860
being saved. It's that you're bringing you're working out your

715
01:02:02.860 --> 01:02:06.940
salvation, you're you're bringing the salvation to the

716
01:02:06.940 --> 01:02:10.380
different aspects of your soul and basically declaring, Hey,

717
01:02:10.380 --> 01:02:14.420
look, I just want to let you know you're I'm declaring

718
01:02:14.460 --> 01:02:15.820
freedom to the captives.

719
01:02:19.500 --> 01:02:22.740
And by the way, you didn't think you were free. I'm letting you

720
01:02:22.740 --> 01:02:25.540
know that the prices are to be paid and you're now free. And

721
01:02:25.540 --> 01:02:28.500
so you're bringing redemption, you're bringing that redemption

722
01:02:29.100 --> 01:02:33.260
and that and that salvation to those different aspects of you,

723
01:02:33.620 --> 01:02:36.660
so that they can finally grow. But the only way that they can

724
01:02:36.660 --> 01:02:40.340
grow is that they feel if they feel safe enough to change.

725
01:02:41.620 --> 01:02:45.500
Always it's all safe is if as weird as it sounds is if we

726
01:02:45.500 --> 01:02:49.940
don't require them to change, we fully accept them as they are in

727
01:02:49.940 --> 01:02:53.660
the middle of their mess, we're not ever requiring them to

728
01:02:53.660 --> 01:02:56.780
change. And the important thing about that and the reason that

729
01:02:56.780 --> 01:03:01.580
it's not a the reason that it's not a an issue to accept it, as

730
01:03:01.580 --> 01:03:04.540
it's because we have a fear that Oh my goodness, if I accept it

731
01:03:04.540 --> 01:03:08.460
like that, I'm saying it's okay. I'm approving of its actions.

732
01:03:08.460 --> 01:03:11.060
I'm approving of the fact that it's based on things and fear

733
01:03:11.060 --> 01:03:14.020
and unbelief. No, no, we're not. We're not approving of it.

734
01:03:14.020 --> 01:03:17.540
We're not saying that it's okay. We're saying the thing or the

735
01:03:17.540 --> 01:03:20.580
being or the entity that is making that choice that part of

736
01:03:20.580 --> 01:03:23.940
ourselves that is making that choice, it's fully accepted by

737
01:03:23.940 --> 01:03:28.100
us, even though those are the types of choices that it is

738
01:03:28.100 --> 01:03:33.100
choosing to make. We're not requiring that it make

739
01:03:33.100 --> 01:03:36.940
different choices in order to be fully accepted. So and the thing

740
01:03:36.940 --> 01:03:40.220
is that God created all of those parts of us to operate in a

741
01:03:40.220 --> 01:03:43.300
specific way and they're operating unnaturally right now.

742
01:03:43.700 --> 01:03:46.620
So once they feel fully safe with us that we fully accept

743
01:03:46.620 --> 01:03:49.980
them as it is that they are, they will naturally change why

744
01:03:49.980 --> 01:03:52.940
because they're going to default back to their natural state. The

745
01:03:52.940 --> 01:03:55.820
reason that they're not in their natural state is because they

746
01:03:55.820 --> 01:03:59.900
don't feel they don't feel that that is is safe. And so they

747
01:03:59.900 --> 01:04:01.820
don't feel safe. So they're locked down.

748
01:04:03.460 --> 01:04:05.620
They aren't allowed to and until they're allowed to.

749
01:04:07.980 --> 01:04:12.180
Yeah, and as weird as it sounds, it really makes a huge

750
01:04:12.180 --> 01:04:15.540
difference to allow someone to fully be who it is that they are

751
01:04:15.580 --> 01:04:20.580
acting out and doing all of that. You know, it means like

752
01:04:20.580 --> 01:04:22.660
these different parts of ourselves because the its

753
01:04:22.660 --> 01:04:27.900
natural state is is belief in the Lord. That's how it was

754
01:04:27.900 --> 01:04:32.500
created. So finally, it feels safe enough, it doesn't want to

755
01:04:32.540 --> 01:04:37.980
act unnaturally more, it takes a lot of effort on its part to act

756
01:04:38.020 --> 01:04:42.420
in a natural and naturally by sinning and an unbelief and

757
01:04:42.420 --> 01:04:46.580
operating from fear, etc. Your body wasn't created to operate

758
01:04:46.580 --> 01:04:49.460
in a way that it's operating right now, meaning like, it was

759
01:04:49.460 --> 01:04:52.540
created to operate in health, you know, in wholeness, that's

760
01:04:52.540 --> 01:04:58.940
how God created it. And this thing is the, the, the, the, the

761
01:04:58.940 --> 01:04:59.820
symptoms that you

762
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:06.160
have are a result of sin being in the world. That is not how God created Adam and Eve's bodies,

763
01:05:06.160 --> 01:05:12.800
you know, but, um, it's because there are sins that, that, um, that the wages of sin,

764
01:05:12.800 --> 01:05:17.440
that it's having to bear, you know, through the seat of Adam that, you know, in other words,

765
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:25.360
the, you know, like in Romans eight, it's a frustration, you know, groaning and anticipation.

766
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:30.720
Literally last night, me and Nick on the way home, we quoted that verse and we thought of you,

767
01:05:30.720 --> 01:05:39.760
we were like, remember Ashley would say, yeah, it's, I love that whole chapter. So it's very,

768
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:44.320
very powerful. And there's a lot of spirit. There's a lot of meat, very foundational meat

769
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:51.280
in that one passage. I mean, in that one chapter, but anyway, um, so, um, you know,

770
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:56.400
that that's an aspect of ourselves. That's just simply waiting to be free. And so the only,

771
01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:01.120
it will naturally default. It might take some time. It's again, it might take some time for

772
01:06:01.120 --> 01:06:05.920
it to believe that you really are providing it a safe place. And it'll probably not intentionally,

773
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:10.800
but it'll test you. And it'll like push the boundary and like, yeah, but what if I do this?

774
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:14.800
And yeah, but what if I do this? And it's not intentionally testing you. I just mean,

775
01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:21.520
you're going to be tested. And the fact that it's going to your determination and your fortitude

776
01:06:21.520 --> 01:06:27.120
and your sincerity, that's where I'm trying to find your sincerity of what you mean is going

777
01:06:27.120 --> 01:06:32.080
to be tested because it's, they're going to your bet. Those boundaries are going to be pushed.

778
01:06:32.080 --> 01:06:36.320
Yeah. But what if I act like this? What if this happens? What if whatever, they're not going to

779
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:42.080
intentionally oppose you like that? It's just an acting out and your sincerity is going to be

780
01:06:42.080 --> 01:06:48.160
tested. Are you going to have to, are you going to stay with your original sincerity that, Hey,

781
01:06:48.160 --> 01:06:52.160
I fully accept you even though you're, you're acting out right now, even though you, even though

782
01:06:52.160 --> 01:06:56.480
my symptom got worse over here, even though whatever, this is the way, this is the new

783
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:02.480
instruction. I acted out like that. I literally acted out, but I was, it was leading into my

784
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:08.080
marriage with my ex that I, I, I, I saw that happen. Like it's, it sounded wild, but I was

785
01:07:08.080 --> 01:07:13.840
like testing him to see if he was safe, which in the end, but I chose him. I let him back in anyway,

786
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:18.720
even though I literally, he did something when I was like putting myself out there vulnerably to

787
01:07:18.720 --> 01:07:24.560
test, like, are you safe? And he abandoned me in it. And I took off in my car and was gone,

788
01:07:24.560 --> 01:07:29.120
like done. And it turned into like a high speed chase literally on the highway in the rain.

789
01:07:29.120 --> 01:07:35.840
And when he got to the place where he had me cornered on a cul-de-sac, I had my doors locked,

790
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:42.160
everything, I was freaked out. And then he like kicked my tire and like, was like yelling or

791
01:07:42.160 --> 01:07:45.920
something. And that even further freaked me out, but somehow he, he, you know what I mean?

792
01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:50.000
He kind of weaseled his way back in or whatever to be like, Oh no, I am safe. But I'm saying like,

793
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:55.760
that is the best example that I have when I was engaged to him is when I was testing the boundaries

794
01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:01.200
or the little girl parts of me, cause I was only 20, you know, we're testing the boundaries,

795
01:08:02.160 --> 01:08:06.960
you know, to say like, are you really going to be there when, you know, and I, and I had

796
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:10.880
conversations with him, like, Hey, we're going to need counseling. Are you committed to this? I

797
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:15.120
almost called off the wedding. Cause I was like, I don't know if you understand that we're going to

798
01:08:15.120 --> 01:08:21.760
need to be intentional with, with getting wisdom and healing and help. And yes, yes, yes, yes. And

799
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:26.640
then no, no, no. Like in the marriage, but I guess that is really important. Like, but I feel like I

800
01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:32.960
say that too, because it reminds me of that also is shut down. Once I did marry him and there was

801
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:41.760
no, you know what I mean? There was no more like, I wasn't really safe from the beginning to test

802
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.920
anymore. Like there were things that were going on and that he was doing that. Yeah. I understand

803
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:50.560
learn to shut it all down. And then I never really tested it again. So it's almost like I have to let

804
01:08:50.560 --> 01:08:57.279
myself go back there, but I'm the one being there for myself. Like I'm choosing myself and I'm

805
01:08:57.279 --> 01:09:02.960
reparenting the littles that never got to be parented, you know, by choosing that I'm going

806
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:10.080
to be there no matter what they do, no matter what, how they act out. Yeah, correct. Yeah,

807
01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:14.560
exactly. And I'm so sorry. Can you excuse me just one moment? Yeah. Sorry.

808
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.060
you

809
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:32.060
you

810
01:10:52.060 --> 01:10:59.540
okay sorry about that and I actually have another appointment that I have to

811
01:10:59.540 --> 01:11:06.920
brush off yeah but just to wrap and just to wrap back um the yeah it what

812
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:14.960
you're talking about it's correct you have to we have to both ourselves with

813
01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:20.540
with everything meaning like all of the bad me ugly etc and we have to do that

814
01:11:20.540 --> 01:11:23.840
without fully knowing what it is we're going to find what is we're going to

815
01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:31.680
find about ourselves etc then the second step is to allow those things to come up

816
01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:38.440
you know allow emotions to come up and and the physical things and fully face

817
01:11:38.440 --> 01:11:42.720
reality fully face what it is that we're seeing with the manifestations were

818
01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:48.560
seeing etc and not and not judging them like I said it's going to be like you're

819
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:52.960
going to be tested it's not like anyone's intentionally testing you it's

820
01:11:52.960 --> 01:12:00.120
that the things it's that your your sincerity it's going to be it's going to

821
01:12:00.120 --> 01:12:07.680
have to withstand I don't know like not up what kind of like opposition but it's

822
01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:14.880
it's going to have to it's that it needs to prove that it really is sincere that

823
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:20.040
it really was serious that this wasn't conditional in other words that your

824
01:12:20.040 --> 01:12:23.160
sincerity is unconditional because that's what you said it was you hateful

825
01:12:23.160 --> 01:12:27.640
except you well you know then that means that you're actually going to have to go

826
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.800
through situations that are going to prove that we're you're going to have to

827
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:35.520
prove it and the only way you can prove it is by continually choosing in those

828
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:39.120
situations know this is what I choose I choose to fully accept I choose to not

829
01:12:39.120 --> 01:12:42.240
reject you know that whole thing that you were talking about about like that

830
01:12:42.240 --> 01:12:45.480
person that self rejection of those different parts of yourself or the self

831
01:12:45.480 --> 01:12:50.920
hatred or whatever those are very big deals and so like you said when you

832
01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:56.080
kind of agreement with them you have these huge it affects your life in a

833
01:12:56.080 --> 01:13:00.400
huge way like it did like even how it manifested with and the removal of the

834
01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:06.480
night terrors and so that's the second step is so the first one is fully fully

835
01:13:06.480 --> 01:13:10.960
choose to be a safe place for yourself to make mistakes and to accept all the

836
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.040
good bad me ugly about both yourself and God meaning like whatever you find out

837
01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:18.080
about God and whether or not you like the fact that that's how he is you know

838
01:13:18.080 --> 01:13:21.640
and then the same thing with yourself well accepting all the different parts

839
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:29.320
of you as they are whether or not you like them and then and because what

840
01:13:29.320 --> 01:13:32.320
you're doing is you're not accepting what it is that those parts of you were

841
01:13:32.320 --> 01:13:37.160
doing you're accepting the parts that are making the decisions the entities

842
01:13:37.160 --> 01:13:43.360
that are making those decisions etc then from that you then once you choose that

843
01:13:43.360 --> 01:13:48.480
you're a safe place then you actually have to act on it you have to face all

844
01:13:48.480 --> 01:13:52.640
of the things instead of rejecting or stifling or whatever and fully

845
01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:57.720
acknowledge those things are there in other words you get to know you you get

846
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:03.840
to know yourself and you get to know God and then the third one is how is then

847
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:15.480
you proactively engage with yourself and with God in light of the fact that

848
01:14:15.480 --> 01:14:20.840
you're fully accepting everything as it is you're fully facing the reality of it

849
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:26.720
and then now you're going to proactively engage with all those parts being what

850
01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:30.960
they are you know and you do that you fully engage with it from the

851
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:35.520
perspective that you are who God says that you are that he is who he says that

852
01:14:35.520 --> 01:14:39.080
he is and that you are who he says that you are meaning that you are in the you

853
01:14:39.080 --> 01:14:42.880
are one with Christ you're completely unified with the Lord and you are

854
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:48.320
standing in and being unified with him you have all of his power and authority

855
01:14:48.320 --> 01:14:52.640
and everything else is under your feet that is the position that you're in and

856
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:58.640
it's not like oh I get to you know eat bonbons and do whatever I want and make

857
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.920
all of these like

858
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:05.360
freeze that all of these other parts of my kingdom have to obey and aren't I all powerful

859
01:15:05.360 --> 01:15:10.600
and therefore everything's about serving me it's it's the opposite it's like we just like

860
01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:17.440
Christ gave us as an example of we are our servants to in other words we're not servants

861
01:15:17.440 --> 01:15:23.360
to we serve those within our kingdom you know we serve our spirit our soul and our body

862
01:15:23.360 --> 01:15:28.640
we provide a safe place our spirit provides a safe place for our soul and our body we

863
01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:36.320
give to it what God's we are to it what God is to us you know king over us and takes care

864
01:15:36.320 --> 01:15:41.440
of provides protects etc we're the provider and the protector for our soul and our body

865
01:15:41.440 --> 01:15:48.960
and so it's a very proactive approach it's a very um it's an it's an approach of uh where

866
01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:56.400
you are well yeah it's proactive but you um you're approaching life on on the offensive

867
01:15:56.400 --> 01:16:00.760
instead of the defensive what do I want to create what do I want to build as opposed

868
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:05.480
to what am I going to have to deal with and what am I going to have to respond to you

869
01:16:05.480 --> 01:16:11.040
know it's like what am I doing what am I choosing um you know what am I building it's all towards

870
01:16:11.040 --> 01:16:15.000
the positive as opposed to negative of like what am I going to have to respond to react

871
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:20.040
to so anyway those are the three steps and I'm really sorry I have to go but if you wanted

872
01:16:20.040 --> 01:16:23.720
to schedule some the next time you want to schedule something you know just let me know

873
01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:30.600
I hope this has been helpful yes a lot um yeah I think I might have one like follow-up

874
01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:34.840
question that I can maybe message you or what would be a good way to well we could just

875
01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:40.480
schedule another time for that um I was just in terms of like that what what how I perceive

876
01:16:40.480 --> 01:16:45.000
the enemy like do I give the enemy any like oh the enemy is doing this or that or is it

877
01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:50.820
like so that's kind of goes into another question just with how the enemy is we perceive it

878
01:16:50.820 --> 01:16:56.940
rightly to to proceed is this like I need to take authority over the enemy or is the

879
01:16:56.940 --> 01:17:03.260
enemy my own like lack of partnering with what is now true in the new covenant of me

880
01:17:03.260 --> 01:17:06.060
you know what I mean like is it my own belief system and lies that I'm looking at as the

881
01:17:06.060 --> 01:17:12.340
enemy or like the devil you know yeah well either way they're not a threat yeah I don't

882
01:17:12.340 --> 01:17:24.980
really pay too much attention I mean just in general or is it the devil now certain

883
01:17:24.980 --> 01:17:30.300
times yeah you need it's it's um you know you do kind of need to like narrow it down

884
01:17:30.300 --> 01:17:34.180
and figure out okay well if it's him you know do I need to be delivered of something do

885
01:17:34.180 --> 01:17:41.260
I need to be um or or whatever but unless it's something like that I don't really see

886
01:17:41.260 --> 01:17:46.580
that it to me I could be I could be wrong just in general let me just explain it like

887
01:17:46.580 --> 01:17:54.180
that I don't know everything which is it just in general I don't it doesn't matter if it's

888
01:17:54.180 --> 01:18:00.140
me or if it's him because I have to deal with it the same way just I come out of agreement

889
01:18:00.140 --> 01:18:05.980
with it it's not true regardless of whether it's being imposed it's being imposed on me

890
01:18:05.980 --> 01:18:10.900
or not but think about it even when Satan came against you the only way that it worked

891
01:18:10.900 --> 01:18:15.460
was that you've had to come into agreement with it so regardless of whether Eve initiated

892
01:18:15.460 --> 01:18:21.540
it herself you know out of her own thoughts and fears or Satan came and tried to convince

893
01:18:21.540 --> 01:18:30.300
her either way she was the one who had to agree so in a way it doesn't matter what the

894
01:18:30.300 --> 01:18:37.580
source was you know was it was it Satan that planted the seed in it you know in your mind

895
01:18:37.580 --> 01:18:42.740
or was it your own your own fears and the chain reaction of like oh well then this and

896
01:18:42.740 --> 01:18:50.300
all I wear well no no regardless you had to come into agreement with it or you're being

897
01:18:50.300 --> 01:18:54.740
tempted to come into agreement with it so you just come out of agreement so generally

898
01:18:54.740 --> 01:18:59.340
speaking either way it didn't bother me you know I'm just like whatever now if I feel

899
01:18:59.340 --> 01:19:04.580
now you know how this is sometimes you just kind of like go through a whole bunch of things

900
01:19:04.580 --> 01:19:08.260
like well it could be this and it could be definitely could be this so it could be a

901
01:19:08.260 --> 01:19:12.020
spirit of this I don't know if it is but if it is that spirit I'm just gonna renounce

902
01:19:12.020 --> 01:19:16.540
that spirit right now and just you know so it may not be that spirit it may not be the

903
01:19:16.540 --> 01:19:20.700
spirit of deception it may not be the spirit of infirmity it may not be the spirit of whatever

904
01:19:20.700 --> 01:19:26.940
but it might be so I just like okay you know I address it and and I don't worry about well

905
01:19:26.940 --> 01:19:32.180
I wonder if it was or not because again I'm not trying to go through life figuring out

906
01:19:32.180 --> 01:19:38.740
formulas so that I can get them all to work when I want to get out of whatever it is I'm in I just

907
01:19:38.740 --> 01:19:43.700
I just kind of deal with stuff and I move on and I just focus on I try to just focus on the Lord

908
01:19:43.700 --> 01:19:50.260
and on on on the positive and on the faith and then I'm like okay well regardless the source

909
01:19:50.260 --> 01:19:55.260
let's just knock out some potential sources and whatever it is I'm coming out of agreement with

910
01:19:55.260 --> 01:20:00.020
them is that helpful yes thank you so much yes that really makes sense okay well

911
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:00.840
Love you, girl.

912
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:04.400
Thank you so much for making time less than last day.

913
01:20:04.400 --> 01:20:07.760
