What does climate action mean to me means doing what we can when we can as often as we can We never can do everything, but if we all do just a little bit, it'll make a big difference My name is Chris. I run Sassafas of Paddington in Paddington, Brisbane. We are a sustainable cafe So I'm a chef by trade and grew up on a cattle and small crops mix farm Which means that we were fairly well self-sufficient sustainable for the environment But we're also able to enjoy the benefits of that and that has really instilled in me a Philosophy to carry that on and do the same thing and bring that to the city Share that philosophy with the rest of the world So when I took over Sassafas here about ten years back, we used to use just general waste bins So to put it in perspective, we were using about ten really bins a week There was a few problems arising from that one it was the cost involved two we had Pest and vermin three during summer all of that material because it was only being collected once a week We're starting to create a bit of a bad odor and we needed to solve all of these problems And we started to look at our organic waste and trying to find a solution for having that Waste not going to landfill and also to have it collected more readily how we would store that waste how we would get that Waste transported to a composting plant So we started working with a contractor who was able to collect our organic waste a few times a week And that helped us to eliminate the odors and the pests in the vermin problem that we had it also enabled us to Reduce the amount of landfills from ten wheelie bins a week down to just two We've been able to save about a ton of waste from going to landfill every month So over the year we're looking at saving greenhouse gas emissions by not sending all that organic waste to landfill We also turn all of our used cooking oil into biodiesel both of those help us save quite a lot of emissions each year I would encourage other hospitality businesses to jump on board and have a look online for some great resources There are definitely contractors out there who can help you out for a very very good price To effectively take care of your waste By doing this it's actually saving us up to 50% costs on our waste management And it's helping to reduce our other purchases probably by about 10 to 15 percent over the year as well It's not as difficult as it seems to get yourself on board and it actually makes economic sense to do so


All right. Okay. Welcome back everybody to our second lecture on interpreting scripture. In the previous lecture we talked about, we went through on looking at culture and interpreting the scripture text in the context of culture. So we can do now look at one more or one other principle and interpreting scripture. Go on to the next one and talk about grammar. So I'm going to go ahead and share my PDF. Now if I hope I don't lose connection anyway. All right. Okay. So another important part of interpreting scripture is following the simple grammar of the text. Now the, so every language, every language, whether it's Hebrew or Greek or English, follows certain semantics or rules of grammar and how the words are put together and the meaning of the words, the tense of the words and so on. And so we have to follow those or understand and follow those rules and also interpret the text keeping simple grammar in mind. For instance, of course we want to know the meaning of the word. So if a word can have more than one meaning, then obviously we have to use the meaning that was intended by the person who was writing or the meaning that is most appropriate in that sentence structure. So that's what we do even in English where if one word could have more than one meaning, then immediately we process it and we say, oh, this is what it means. Why? Because of the sentence in which it is used or what was intended by the person who was speaking to us, given the context and all of that. We understand that, okay, this is what he means. So even though one word could have multiple meanings, we go with the meaning that is intended or that is most appropriate in that sentence. Some other things in grammar is we look at the tense of the word. You know, is it past tense? If it's past tense means it's already done. If it's future, okay, it's going to happen. We also look at whether it's masculine or feminine or whether it's neutral, you know. So if a word is neutral, then it could apply to both men and women. If a word is meant, you know, if it's about men, it's men. Ladies are my ladies. So we understand those things, right? And so we have to stay consistent with these basic principles of grammar, which doesn't matter which language, Hebrew or Greek or English, those principles of grammar apply. So therefore when we're interpreting scripture, we have to keep these simple rules of grammar in mind. So for example, I'm just giving example, Matthew chapter four was four. Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Now, one wrong way to interpret that, which is a misuse of grammar, it's not following grammar is, oh, he said man. You know, it starts with this man. So this verse is only for men. No. So what do you do? You go into the Greek. The Greek word is actually anthropos. Anthropos is simply means human. It is gender neutral. It applies to men and women. Now in English, especially in old English, we use the word mankind in a gender neutral way. You know, when we used to say mankind, it meant both men and women.  But so that word man or simply refers to mankind. Or if you go into the Greek, it is anthropos, which is human, man or woman. So Matthew 4.4, if you put it in a modern way, it says people will not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the month of God. So a wrong interpretation example would be to say Matthew 4.4 is only for men, only for male. No, no, no. It is gender neutral. It applies to everybody, male and female. We live by the word of God, right? So if we are not careful like this, you know, like the many other instances where if we miss out on the tense or if we miss out on what could be the right meaning of the word. If a word has multiple meanings, we need to say, okay, what exactly did he mean? Or could he also have meant that? That means I'm also including, if it's not very clear, I should also include, he could have also meant this. And so I need to keep that also in mind as I interpret the scripture text, right? So we are trying to understand the meaning of the word and the relationship of the word in that sentence and how that word functions. Is it for male or female? Is it past? Is it present? Is it future? And so on. So these are things that we should take in mind, keep in mind when we are interpreting the text and we're using simple rules of grammar that apply to any language that may be used. So the example of trying to look into the meaning of the word. Just one example, right? And when we spoke last week, we talked about Bible study tools. So this is where the Bible study tools come in. It's very useful. Where you can look up the word in the original language. So you can, and of course it's been translated into English, but if you look up the Greek or you look up the Hebrew or you can look at the original word and you try to understand the meaning or the meanings of the original word, because sometimes a word could have had more than one meaning. And you also look at is it a noun? Is it a verb? Is it masculine, feminine, those kind of things so that you get a clear understanding of, okay, this is what is being said. So we could pick up many examples, let's say in Romans 1.16, the Apostle Paul is saying, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation.  It's dunamis. Now in English, of course, it sounds very much like dynamite, but it's not necessarily talking about dynamite. It's talking about anything. It's talking about any ability to be done, the work that can be done, right? What can be done. So it's okay, the Gospel is the power of God. It is what God does. It's the work of God, the ability of God, resulting in salvation. So he's talking about that. Now the same word, dunamis, is also used. I'm just giving an extending this example now because you've looked into the word dunamis. You understood it means ability, divine ability, or supernatural ability. That same word, dunamis, is now when you look at Luke chapter 10 verse 19. Now I'll just open up my Esword. Luke 10, 19. And you look it up in the King James Version. You're all able to see my screen, right? Yes. Okay. Thank you. So you look at Luke 10, 19, right? Now you're reading it in English. It says, behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.  So you read it in English and you have the word power that is used twice in this verse.  But this is where going into the language and looking up at the language is very useful because you find here there are two different Greek words that are translated as power, right? So using a Bible study tool is very helpful because now if I look at the Greek word power here, this word power, behold, I give unto you power, is the Greek word exosia. So it's different from dunamis. It is exosia. Oh, and exosia is really talking about delegated power. You could see that in the meaning here. Or if you look it up and, you know, he's talking about delegated influence. That's the focus. You know, he's talking about something that is given to somebody, right? It's a privilege, something that's given as a privilege or a delegation. Whereas the second word power, you look it up. It's dunamis. And this dunamis is force. It's ability. It's what someone is able to do. It's supernatural. It's miraculous. It's mighty. It's talking about ability, right? So there is a difference here between these two words power that is translated in English. So if you want to correctly understand this, by looking at the usage of the word, what Jesus is saying is I'm giving you delegated authority to trade on serpents and scorpions and over all the dunamis, the ability of the enemy. That means you're given authority over the ability. But in English, you know, they've translated it power because of course in English, the word power could mean influence. It could mean position. It could mean physical ability. That one word power in English could, you know, depending on how it's used, means so many things. But in the Greek, it's a little bit more specific. You have the first word that means authority or something that's delegated. It means privilege. In the second word, it has to do with ability, force, strength, what someone is able to do. So how do we understand? He has given us authority over what the devil is able to do. And nothing will any by any means hurt us. So now this verse becomes a little clearer when you look into the word and do a little language study, like studying the grammar, the language, and say, oh, there is authority that God, the Lord has given me. He's given me privilege. He's given me delegated authority over the ability. So the devil can do what he wants to do, and I've got authority over that. So looking into the language, this is one example of how you try to get into the meaning of the word, and that enables us to understand, you know, a little better than just, because in English we're using the same word power, but in the language in the Greek, different words are used. Pasi, can I ask one question here? Please go ahead, yeah. Pasi, in 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 7, we read power, love, and of sound mind. So that power is also ability. I think the Greek for that is also dynamism. 2 Timothy 1, yeah. Yes, this is dynamism. So for the believer, and as you study the word power, which is very nice thing, because good you brought it up, you will find that Holy Spirit power is always dunamis. Authority in the name of Jesus is always exosia. So for example, we keep 2 Timothy 1, 7, keep it in mind. And if you go to Acts 1, 8, you know, when Jesus said, you will receive power, what is that dunamis? When the Holy Spirit comes on you. So what the New Testament is teaching us is the Holy Spirit is bringing God's ability into us. The work, the very work of God is done through us. That is power. So Holy Spirit power, the word power always in the context of the Holy Spirit is dunamis. It's divine ability being released through the believer. Miraculous power being released through the believer. But when it comes to delegation, the New Testament uses what authority, exosia. He's saying, you know, you have authority in my name to cast out demons. That is the difference. So I'm sorry, I didn't let you ask your question. Let's go to 2 Timothy 1 verse 7. What was your actual question? My question was the power mentioned here is also the ability or is it something related to the authority? So this is one, this is ability, dunamis. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, of divine ability because that is Holy Spirit power. And of love and of a son. So the Holy Spirit brings within us divine ability. He brings within us love and He brings within us soundness of mind. It's okay. Yes, thank you. So like this, you know, it is good to get into the grammar, get into the language bit. And thank God we have tools. Today we can use the tools to understand the Hebrew and the Greek language. We don't have to go and study Hebrew or study Greek.  This is a verb and so on. So like this, you can study many words. You know, so for example, the other thing very interesting. I'll just say a few things. Okay. You know, there's so much. But for example, if you look at the word faith and belief, you'll find that they both come from the same root word. In English, we have two different words. Faith, believe, right? But so if you, let's look at those words. They come from the same root word, you know. So Roman subterfo. It's talking about Abraham. Against hope, believed, right? Pistio. Pistio. The word believe or believed. The Greek word is Pistio. Now, notice it. It says it literally means to have faith. And if you look at it a little closely, the word believe will tell us, you know, I think they will tell us. Or it's a verb, right? It's a verb. Pistio. Now, if you look at the word faith, faith comes from similar word Pistis. Faith. And it's talking about the same thing. And it's a noun. It's a noun. So you understand the word. Pistis and the word believe. They actually come from the same root word. So they are speaking about the same thing. You know, if you have to have faith is to believe. To believe is to have faith. Just that. Faith is a noun. Believe is a verb. Believe is the doing of it. Faith is a verb. Faith is a verb. Faith is a verb. Faith is a verb. Faith is the possessing of it. That is, you have faith. So that's it. So really, they can be used interchangeably. They can be understood to mean the same thing because it is coming from the same word. The only difference is one is an action. One is a noun. One is having. One is doing. But they are talking about the same thing, believing God. So you can use them interchangeably in that sense. Another thing, I'm just pointing out different things where, you know, when you study the grammar, when you study the word, the meaning of the word, the nuances of the word, the different meanings of the word, it helps you understand and helps you interpret a little better.  And I'm just giving you, giving us some insight. Can a woman be part of the five-fold ministry?  So the question is, you know, can a woman be an apostle or a prophet or evangelist or a pastor or a teacher? Can a woman do that? The big question is because in Ephesians 4 and verse 8, the previous preceding verse, it says, that when he ascended on high, he led captivity. Captivity and gave gifts unto men. So some will say, well, he gave it only to men. So only men can be apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers. Why? Because verse 8 says that he gave gifts to men. And these are the gifts he gave to men. Well, what is the Greek word for men? Anthropos. That word actually means human being. It's not referring to male or female. It is human being. So it's not saying he gave gifts only to male. He gave gifts unto Anthropos, the same word that we said in Matthew chapter 4, verse 4, when Jesus said, he quoted from the Old Testament, he said, man shall not live. Well, it's Anthropos, human being, male or female. So if Ephesians 4, 8 says he gave gifts unto human beings, it would not be right to exclude these gifts, ministry gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, evangelist. Only to men because this word actually is Anthropos, male and female. So we must say, okay, it is possible if God calls somebody, a male or female, a human being, he may give them these, one or more of these gifts. And, you know, we shouldn't restrict and say only male can operate or function in these ministry gifts. Right? So I'm just sharing an example where if you look at the Greek, it tells you what it is, therefore you interpret the things that follow in that light. Okay. So going back to our PDF, you know, some exercise, this is a little bit of work we have to do, right? And that is, you say, okay, I look up the meaning of the word. How was the word being used? What is the context? How did the writer use the same word in the same book? If the person has written more books in the Bible, how did he use the same word in other books? Are there other writers who used the same word? How did they use it? And this makes, you know, an interesting study. So what we are trying to say is in understanding the meaning of the word, you not only understand the meaning of the word in the language, but it's also helpful to know how the particular writer was using that word. I'll give you some examples where, for instance, John, the beloved apostle, who wrote the Gospel of John and the three epistles of John, he uses certain words repeatedly in his letters. For example, the word abide is used very often by John. You know, he uses it in the Gospel of John. He uses it a lot in his first epistle of John, abide. So it's like, it's one of his favorite words. So he kind of delve into that word. Oh, John is... What did it mean to John? Yes, the word abide has its literal meaning, which means to dwell, to remain, to continue, to settle down. That's the literal meaning of that word abide. You can look it up, but you also want to say, in John's mind, in his writing, in his usage of this word, what was he thinking? What was he trying to get across to us? And that we pick up when we look at his usage in the Gospel of John and also in, especially in first epistle of John, five chapters. He uses the word abide a lot.  So for him, when he's talking about abide, he's really talking about a place of very close fellowship with God, because you can see that coming through from the Gospel of John and especially in the epistle of John. So that's how he's using that word abide. Or in the writings of the Apostle Paul, of course, there are many words he uses. And like this, let me extend this thought to phrases. So we are speaking of words, understanding words, the grammar, the meaning, the tense and the part of the speech. But in addition to words, it is also good to see the usage of certain phrases. Example, the Apostle Paul uses a phrase, pray in the spirit or praying in the spirit. So now many evangelicals will interpret praying in the spirit as to pray with a lot of fervour, to pray with a lot of energy, to pray with a lot of passion. So if you listen to them preach or you read their Bible commentaries, that's how they will interpret prayer in the spirit. There's praying in the spirit. It's to pray with a lot of fire, to pray with a lot of passion, to pray with a lot of energy. But is that what Apostle Paul meant? How do we correctly understand the phrase pray in the spirit? Well, then you have to follow how he used, how did the right to use that phrase in his letters? So for example, he used it in Ephesians 6, 18. Pray always with all prayer and supplication. You know, praying in the spirit. Okay. But what did he mean? Well, you go and look at 1 Corinthians 14. He talks about praying in the spirit as praying in tongues. I will pray with the spirit. If I pray with the spirit, my understanding is unfruitful. If I pray with the spirit, my spirit prays. So 1 Corinthians 14, then you understand, hey, when you're praying in the spirit, according to this writer, that phrase has to do with praying in tongues. And it's not about praying with a lot of fire, a lot of zeal, a lot of passion. That's not how he's using it. In the mind of the writer, the Apostle Paul, praying in the spirit, it means to pray in tongues because he's very clearly there in 1 Corinthians 14. So then you say, oh, maybe this is a phrase that was understood by all New Testament writers, not just Apostle Paul.  Praying in the Holy Spirit. Oh, so that means the New Testament early church understood this phrase like this. Not praying with a lot of fire and zeal and passion as some of the evangelicals would present it. But in the mind of the New Testament, as praying in the spirit was a phrase that they understood as praying in tongues because you see its usage in the various letters, primarily by the Apostle Paul. And therefore you can say that Jude, who was part of the church, he was a half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, but he grew up in the New Testament in the church in Jerusalem, half-brother of James. They were there in the Church in Jerusalem, the early church, so they understood it to be praying in tongues.  I just gave you several different examples that would help us, you know, and incorrectly interpreting. Okay, so this is how the word, this is what the word means, or this is what the sentence means because I'm looking at the grammar, I'm understanding the meaning, I'm understanding the sentence, I'm understanding how it is being used in that book, but I'm also understanding how the right is using that word in his writings so that then I can get the meaning of what is being said. Okay, let me pause here and see if there are any questions on the chat and everybody is okay with me so far, you're understanding this, any questions? You're getting it all okay? Any questions so far? Pasta? Yes, go ahead. So first of all, no problem Pasta, on my side. Okay, good. All right, okay. Anyone else, any questions? Please feel free to ask, no problem asking questions. Okay, so in keeping with this understanding of grammar, another aspect of grammar, which of course is, you know, you find throughout the Bible is figure of speech, right? So let's kind of, we'll just start it off today and we will continue this again next week. Let me share the notes. Figure of speech. That means, as part of, and this is also part of the language, right?  It's only what in English we say, figure of speech. So an example, you know, we say it's raining hard. That means that word hard just means it's a lot of rain coming. Or sometimes he may say it's raining cats and dogs or it's pouring, you know. And those words or phrases are not to be taken literally. For example, let me say it's raining cats and dogs. It doesn't mean literally cats and dogs are falling from the sky. It's only a figure of speech, but it's telling, you know, somebody who understands the language will understand that it means it's raining very hard. It's really bad. So like this, even in the scriptures, because people were writing in the language and using the grammar of their time, they also used figures of speech. And you find this. And so we have to understand that first of all, recognize something is literal, something's a figure of speech. And if it's a figure of speech, how do I interpret it so that I can apply it correctly? So how do we approach the text of scripture? We, of course, whenever we read the scripture, we will take whatever is literal. We take it literally unless there is a reason for us to say, well, the literal is not, you know, it cannot be taken. He is using a figure of speech. How do we know he's using a figure of speech? If the literal is an impossibility, right? And that sometimes is very obvious. So when John pointed to the Lord Jesus and said, this is the Lamb of God, it's a figure of speech. He's giving him a title, which is not literal, meaning he is not an animal as a lamb, but he's going to be like that, meaning he's going to be sacrificed like that. So it's a figure of speech. Or when God tells Jeremiah, Jeremiah, I have made you an iron pillar and a bronze wall. So God is telling Jeremiah, Jeremiah 118, Jeremiah, I've made you an iron pillar. I've made you a bronze wall. That's a figure of speech. We have to understand it. We have to interpret it. So we will talk about how to interpret it. Obviously Jeremiah is not an iron pillar or a bronze wall. It's a figure of speech. What does that mean? What is the meaning? We know that a figure of speech is being used when the literal meaning is observed. That means literal meaning cannot happen. So for example Isaiah 55 and verse 12 says, the trees or the field will clap their hands. Now somebody may point to this and say, see the Bible has errors in it because the Bible is saying the trees have hands. No, no, no, no, no. It's only a figure of speech. So it's not a problem in the Bible. It's a part of a language. The trees or the field will clap their hands basically saying everything around is going to be rejoicing, celebrating. It's not about the deserter there. It's a figure of speech. We also can understand that the figure of, that he's using a figure of speech of the literal would, you know, is actually, would definitely be something wrong. For instance, Jesus said, you know, in John chapter six, when he was preaching to the people, he said, you must eat my flesh and drink my blood. The sad thing is in John chapter six, people couldn't understand. They were trying to take it literally. How can we eat his flesh and drink his blood? What's he saying? So obviously that is not literal. It's, it's figurative. It's talking about coming into that place of personal intimacy with the Lord, relationship with the Lord, and so on, you know, or think about the other phrase being born again in John chapter three, you know, he thought how can a man get back into his mother's womb by second time and be born? So he's trying to think it literally. Jesus said, no, no, no, no, it's not literal. You know, to be born of water and the spirit, and we're talking about spiritual birth, right? So like this, there are many examples where the literal would mean something that's totally preserved or immoral and then, then we say, okay, it's not literal. It's a figure of speech. And also in scripture, you'll find that sometimes the figurative expression is followed by the literal expression. So example, in 1 Thessalonians four, it talks about those who fall asleep, but then it just goes on to talk about those who have died. So that means when the writer, in this case, the apostle Paul is talking about falling asleep, he's talking about dying. But here there's a big mistake people make.  That means when somebody dies, the body is just, the body and soul and spirit is just sleeping in the ground. No, no, that's not what he's saying. He's saying he's using falling asleep as a figurative expression for dying. But what happens in dying? If it's a believer, like he says that, the spirit goes to be with Jesus. So it's not sleeping. So you'll find some people come up with this sleep theory. That means when somebody dies, the spirit soul is just sleeping somewhere in the ground. But that's not what Paul was saying. He used this phrase fall asleep and explains it immediately. He's talking about dying. And what happens when we die? The spirit goes to be with the Lord. So we have to recognize where a certain phrase is actually a figure of speech. But once you recognize it, very important part is how to interpret it. Because, like I was giving this example, if you interpret that figure of speech, that phrase incorrectly, you will come up with the wrong doctrine, like this sleep theory, you know, because they take this phrase fall asleep in Jesus. Oh, he's just sleeping. Spirit and soul is in the ground resting. But that is not what the rest of the scripture teaches. The rest of the scripture teaches that when somebody, when a believer dies, the spirit goes to be with Jesus. It's not sleeping in the ground. So we recognize a figure of speech. Then you interpret the figure of speech correctly. So a simple thing to do is, I don't know if you will have time to finish this, but let's try to cover some thoughts. Any questions so far? Okay. So once you recognize, so we said, how do you recognize a figure of speech? Literalism, impossibilities are absurd. It's immoral or, you know, it gives you an explanation right there. Then interpreting it. Okay. So you recognize figure of speech. Okay. A believer, a second Timothy chapter two was three to six. A believer is compared to a soldier and had to lead a farmer. And it's okay. This is just figure of speech. Words that are not intended to be literal, but are representative. So does it mean a believer must become a soldier, start using guns and things like that? Or athlete. Oh, it's like competing Olympics or farm or go by land and start farming. No. He just using that as a comparison. He's using those, those words as a figure of speech to show certain qualities that a believer must have. And so you recognize, first of all, you determine that, yeah, there's a figure of speech is not meant literally. It's not a person. It's not a person. Or Matthew seven verse six. You know, when Jesus. Don't give dogs or sacred on three or pearls to pigs. He is not calling people as pigs or. People as. Dogs. It's not like that. There is, it's just figure. He just trying to get a message across. Right. And then. You find out what is. The image. What is the non image? That means. There is a picture. There is something from our world. There's a picture that that's being used as a representation of the non image. In this case, we say the king, the person. So the lamb of God. So the lamb is the picture. The non image is the literal person. It's Jesus. In this case, the picture is that of a soldier and athlete. A farmer. That's the image. The non image is the believer. The believers are literal person. So some aspect of this image is being applied or being. Used to characterize the non image that is the believer. Right. Or when Jesus, I destroy this temple and I'll raise it up in three days. The temple. The image is the temple. The non images is the body of Jesus Christ. So he's using that picture, the temple. To. Represent. His own body. So once you understand the difference, then. Very important in number three is this. What is the point or the points of comparison? And don't transfer everything about the point of about the between the image and the non image. There may be sometimes only one point of comparison. The lamb of God. So the lamb is talking about something that's innocent. Representing something that's sinless. So that's the point of comparison. But don't say a lamb has four legs. A lamb has a lot of wool. So Jesus has for this and he is very warm. Don't say like that. That is. Doing using points of comparison was not intended by the image. The image of the lamb. When compared to the non image, that's Jesus. Only one point. The lamb is spotless. Innocent. That's Jesus. Similarly, soldier, athlete, farmer. What is the point of comparison? Soldier.  So we also, you know, that means the soldiers committed to his course. Athlete. He works hard. He's, you know, he's striving for a goal to win. So that's the point of comparison. The farmer, the farmer works hard. Then he has a reward. That's the point of comparison. But we don't pull out all the other things. Athlete.  No, the point of comparison is there in the text. What was he using? You stay with that. Okay. So in interpreting the figure of speech, understand what exactly is, is the reference after and use only that apply only that to the non-image to the person or what is being referenced. Okay. I'm going to stop here. We will continue from this next week. Any, any questions? Are you all with me following me so far? Was I have a question? Yes. But I've heard some interpretation of Abraham sacrificing the incident that happened. And some interpretation, which I've heard is the reason behind God asking Abraham to do so is because his love to Isaac was more than what to be earlier with say he used to love God more when Isaac came, his love shifted towards Isaac. And that's the reason he wanted to test Abraham. So is it right to interpret like that or how do we, you know, when we listen to such interpretations, how do we take it? Yeah. So first of all, when you hear such statement, you immediately know it's not given in scripture. The Bible doesn't say that. So that means this is something the preacher is adding to the Bible. Like it's not there in the Bible. The Bible never said Abraham had greater affection to Isaac. Therefore the Lord tested him. Genesis 221 simply says on the Lord tested Abraham saying, take your son. You only son Isaac. But nowhere in scripture does the scripture say that Abraham had greater affection. So immediately, you know, this is a point that the preacher is adding. It's not in the Bible. It may be true. It may not be true because, you know, the maybe the whole reason God wanted to test Abraham could be, you know, in Hebrews chapter 11 to point to Christ himself, to do, you know, a type of Christ. Or it could be to test his commitment to the Lord. But, you know, we can't say for sure because it's not stated in this text. So if we were preaching and we would say, you know, I would definitely say, okay, maybe this could have been the reason. But it's not, I would clearly say it's not in the Bible. It's just my opinion. Right. So if we are doing the preaching, we should make very clear that what is our opinion and what is the Bible. But when you hear something like this being preached immediately in your mind, you say this is not in the Bible. This is the preacher's opinion. It may or may not be true. So maybe it could be true. Maybe it's not, but we can't verify it because it's not in the Bible. Leave it aside, you know, and don't pay too much attention to it. Sure, Vasya. Thanks. Okay. All right. So, Kurt, let's pause here today. We will continue this next week. Could somebody just close in prayer and we will dismiss. Father, we want to thank you for this time. Thank you for revealing your scriptures. Thank you for revealing the mysteries. We pray to God that we would be able to continue learning, continue adapting what you have taught us. We pray to God that you would be able to write in the scripture as you have intended it to be Lord Jesus. Father, we submit all of us as a class to your presence. We thank you for Vasashish to reveal your word to us of God. Thank you. In Jesus' name we pray. Thank you, everybody. Enjoy the rest of your day. I'll see you again next week. God bless everybody. Bye now.


Yo what is good dunk life daily episode 2 day 2 let's go yo more pump than ever for this podcast bro I'm seriously loving it it feels perfect to me and it feels like it's everything culminating every every strength that I have into one and I'll explain the dunking aspects pretty straightforward it's my training it's updates on my training everything I learned through training but the dunking the whole journey the process the mindset the nutrition all of it is a fucking you know leads into all aspects of my life and the dunk life part of it the life part is what the fuck is going on so my choice in that question answering that is just enjoy as much as I can make the most of what's happening and that's what I want to inspire to do and that's what I want this to be about and what I love about this is that it's the dunking is my passion and the expressing myself with my passion and that energy is my passion so I start this podcast started every morning with that energy so that if you don't learn anything at least you start with a little bit of that fuel boy you feel me so today I wanted to also mention that any questions you have dunk life related put it in the comments below because that's what I answer them and I figured that's the best way to do this because obviously great for engagement come on but also if you DM me I'm getting the same question over and over again for years now and we've always wanted like a forum but if you post in the comments below other people can read them people can like them it'll just be a lot easier and I can answer them less so yeah answer your questions below and I've gotten some great ideas already for podcasts such as knee tendons and friggin strength training oh you know all the different basic trainings type of things that will definitely be covered in this podcast and yes I'm really pumped it's day two I'm feeling really good about it I'm trying to make it more structured trying to make it if you were listening to the podcast last season I should call it is that I was all about self-improvement reading books different things that were really beneficial little tips and tidbits and little nuggets of information so I want to keep that going but I want to be even more structured so I want to kind of build my dunk life principles and that's what today is about the first the most important DLD principle that I think is the foundation of every single thing I do dunk life both sides of it is the awareness and what do I mean by that so awareness is simply just being aware of your emotions your feelings your body everything from training on the training side of it is the mind-body connection the awareness where are you feeling things how are you stimulating your body that's the number one training prince principle that's been the hardest for me but it's the number one thing I try to stress for people that are trying to dunk and trying to train to dunk is learning what you need it's a very simple formula to jump higher but it's very hard to make sure you're using the right components of that formula for example you need strength training you need power training you need speed training simple math simple physics the more force you produce the higher you're going to jump right so if I have a certain amount of muscle mass certain amount of strength when I jump it's going to produce a certain amount of force I can't I can produce more force with more strength or more speed it's just math just physics but when I met when I'm if I have this much muscle in my body this much meat on my bones and I run full speed I can't produce any more force I can try to get faster and I could try to get stronger and those are the two things you got to do but sometimes you you have to know where you're at so you have that performance window Daniel back jump science is a great video on performance window just look it up it's a he has like a whole strength training series jump science on YouTube but you to rate you can be performing at the top of the bottom of that window usually when you're in your speed training phase and you're like doing your sport specific training you're at the top of that window you need to raise that window you got to get stronger and even though when you get stronger you raise that window if you're on the video podcast the windows bigger but you might be performing at the bottom of the window which is lower than the top of your previous window just because you're not maximizing that new found strength but now your windows higher aka your potentials higher anyway that all stems from the awareness of what you need when people strength train for me when I was doing it I was I had no good I had bad but my body connection I was strength training ripping apart my muscles gaining size and digging myself way too deep into the strength training phase which is going to be another podcast about how to know when you're focused on what thing like if you if you strength train for too long you're just going to become a strength trainer you're not going to be a dunker so you got to keep in focus and keep that awareness of where your body is at how you're feeling get in tune with it feel every muscle fiber feel what's tight what's not and what what what is a way to do this in life the meditation is great for that because what you do with meditation is you practice bringing that awareness back so you let your mind drift and then you're able to bring it back to one solid point like your breath right so what that does to me is strengthening my awareness throughout the day if I'm all in my head I'm tense I'm stressed I remember to breathe and just remember oh what the fuck is going on at life is great you know so that is why today's is the most important dld principle because it applies to everything I think it's the foundation of making progress which I am obsessed with hence this podcast hence making it fucking 4k yo I hope it comes out 4k today I made it 4k the other day did it render it properly you know I hope it is we'll see anyway I love pushing the limits pushing myself what I can do I'm obsessed with that progress I'm obsessed with making the most out of this weird black hole colliding result after effect of the universe you know gotta watch that documentary I'm telling you I'm halfway through it it's ridiculous back to awareness with your life it makes even question everything so question why you even have these goals I've questioned do I even really want to dunk or is it my ego is it something I want to prove to other people but even if no one was watching even if and it's okay if that's a true but the point is that if you're going towards that goal for those reasons it's not going to lead you to happiness and you're going to not be fulfilled and I don't say that because I like I know that but it's just you're going for the wrong reasons if you think it's like I just want to prove these people wrong you're gonna do it you're gonna be okay well I wasted all this time when it could be spent doing something you freaking love so when I question my dunking is like if nobody's watching I just love the the thought of being able to do this just a really fun activity probably the most fun physical activity I can do and all the things I've learned have been super beneficial so question your entire goals question your entire passion so you can make sure you're on that right path because full circle that's when you feel the most energy and that's why I'm doing all this because when I keep making progress towards what I love and keep making things merge hence the podcast and the energy and the dunk tips sharing my knowledge and also sharing my thoughts about life and expressing myself all of that into one into this podcast I feel so happy about it plus the thought of making my YouTube grow is just amazing too because I want to live that free life um but that's my goals that's I've questioned that forever and I keep questioning I keep doing it you've if you've followed my YouTube for this long time you've seen the progress you've seen the things I've tried that didn't work out and I've all these ideas and different things I want to do but as I do all this I'm building the awareness of why I'm doing it and that's that's the foundation helping me navigate and that and that's it DLD principle number one awareness and we'll be back leave a comment let me know what you think if you're watching this on YouTube you could subscribe on the actual podcast for the audio if you're on audio vice versa you feel me that's it have a good one happy Thursday it's a Thursday classic boys too much thinking Thursday never too much let's go to the Lou Thursday


A non-profit organization wants the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers to pressurize the Nigerian government to conduct impartial investigation into the invasion of the home of justice Mary Audili. The socio-economic rights and accountability project Serap has written to the envoy urging him to ask the Nigerian government to ensure that any investigation into the assault is based on human rights principles and protected from undue influence. It thinks the current probe by the Nigerian police fails to meet international standards. The leader of the team that carried out the invasion has already indicted the minister of justice Abu Bakr Malami who has denied the accusations against him.

I'm so glad to hear to see you here your message that you preached yesterday really blessed me Made me think about some things So thank you for sharing that with me. Oh Lord, we just thank you Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. I'm so grateful to be here today Lord God I'm thank you. Thank you that I have the opportunity to pray with your daughter's God We just honor you we magnify you we Thank you for your presence in this place and right now we just invite more of your presence right now God We are of your presence God More Holy Spirit more of your dunamis power into this place More of your presence more of your peace more of your joy more More of your fruit we invite it into this place Lord. I pray right now in the name of Jesus That you would Cause everyone in their individual places to feel an increase of your presence God We thank you Lord for your presence. We need your presence. We need your the tangible Feeling of your presence sometimes when we come to you Lord We know that we're not always gonna feel your presence, but Lord I pray That you would make yourself known in this place today God make yourself known to us in a way that we've never Known you before come close Lord God as we draw close to you We we are waiting in expectation for you to draw close to us. God. We thank you We praise you Lord. We thank you Lord.  We praise you Lord. We praise you Lord. We praise you Lord We praise you Thank you Lord We thank you Lord. We thank you Lord We thank you Lord. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for your healing presence Yes, Lord, more of your healing presence in this place today, God, we thank you, Lord, we thank you, Lord. Ladies, if you have a particular prayer request, please chat it in. We'll be glad to pray with you. Also, if you are coming in from Facebook, honestly, I cannot see who what your name is in the chat if you put something in the chat. The comments will come through on my screen, but I can't see your name, so I apologize for that. Oh, God, we praise you. Oh, God, we worship you. We magnify your name above all names because there is no other name above your name, God. We thank you, Lord. Let your healing presence come in. I'm reminded of the scripture where it says the presence of the Lord. What did it say? It said the presence of the Lord was it was about the healing was in the room. If anybody can remember what that scripture is, put it in the chat. The healing was available in that room. I want to say it was the scripture where Jesus was preaching and the people put the man through the towels of the roof and laid their friend right in front of Jesus and he marveled at their faith. I think that's where the scripture is. I don't have my Bible right in front of me. Can you believe that? Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. You're good and your mercy endures forever, God. We thank you. We thank you, Lord. We thank you. The presence of the Lord is here today and he wants to heal us.  I just want the child to be well. You don't want the child to suffer. We are God's children and he doesn't want us to suffer either. He wants us to be well. If you want good things for your children, how much more does the Father in heaven want good things for his children? He wants us to be well. Then there are reasons beyond my knowledge as to why some people don't get healed and then it tends to trick us into thinking that he doesn't want to heal us and that's not the case at all. Sometimes there's things that are blocking us from being healed. So we have to spend time with God and say, okay, God, what's in the way? Why am I not being healed? If you've been praying for healing and the healing just hasn't taken place, you can say, Lord, why am I not being healed? What is it that's in the way of my healing? When you're not being healed, I personally believe that there's something in a way of the healing. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around having God in my presence with his presence, which is healing presence, that he just decides he doesn't want to heal me. I can't believe that. That doesn't even match up with his character to me. There's always a reason behind it. That's what I believe. So you take that to God and you flesh that out for yourself. But Lord, I pray that whatever is blocking healing, God, I pray, Father, that you would reveal it, that you would show it to us. And if there are any steps that we personally need to take to walk out our healing, Lord, that you would show us those steps and help us to carry them out, Lord God, so that we can walk in our healing. We thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. Every woman here has a need, Lord God, and you know exactly what the need is. And Father, I'm praying that you meet her where that need is. If you have a prayer language, pray in the spirit with me for like 30 seconds. Let's see what the Holy Spirit is going to do. More power, Lord, more Holy Spirit, God, more of a tangible feeling of your presence, Lord God. We need a touch from you from your presence, Lord. More joy, Lord God. More peace, Lord God. More love, Lord God. More power in our presence, Lord God. More. We need more of you. We want more of you. Not only do we need you. We want you. We love you.  We thank you, Lord. There was a time when I was in deep prayer and fasting for very long periods of time. This was several years ago. And during that time, God would open up visions to me like I had never seen before in my life and actually haven't seen since. So I'm longing to go back to that place or even a deeper place with the Lord. But this morning, I had a glimpse when I was taking my walk this morning in nature, because I love being in nature, because I feel like God is in nature. He is nature, you know. And I saw the clouds moving. They were moving quickly to the right when I was looking in the sky. And I saw a glimpse of an entourage. And the entourage, as far as I'm concerned, what it looks like to me, is a band of angels that are ready to fight for me. And they were like sitting there on their horses with their swords and all their weapons looking at me, waiting for me to dispatch them. And I was like, okay, Lord, what are they waiting for? I don't know the answer yet. I'm going to continue to seek the Lord to see what they're waiting for. They're waiting for me to speak a word so that they can go out and do whatever it is that they were wanting to do. But I think God, what he was doing, was preparing me for that because I've been going through some things in my life that have been really tough. And I believe what he's saying is the entourage is ready to do what you need him to do, but you need to speak it. But I don't know what I need to speak yet. So I need to seek the Lord to find that out. So I'm telling you this, because God's no respecter of persons. If he has an angel army for me ready to go fight the battles that I have in front of me that need to be fought, he has the same thing ready for you. So what is it in your life that you need conquer? What enemy do you need torn down? What wall do you need broken down? What mountain do you need thrown into the sea? Like, what do you need in your life?  Make it be so thick in here that they can't even hardly see it. They can't even hardly touch it. They can't even hardly handle it, Lord God. I'm gonna pray for your back and shoulder, but the thing I saw in the Spirit just now is an enema bag. I saw an enema bag. On the right hand side, go do like three. It doesn't have to be in like in all in a row, but do like three and that pain will dissipate. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord for showing me the picture of the enema bag for Lisa, Lord God. And Father, as you do a physical enema on her Lord, I pray that you would do a spiritual enema, anything that is not like you, any garbage, rubbish, anything that does not belong. Move it out now in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord God, that you are causing the conference to flow freely, freely. As a matter of fact, Lisa, put the information in the chat for your conference. If you are doing your virtual, if you're doing it virtually, like you did last year, because the ladies would be blessed by attending because it was a huge blessing last year for me, for sure. So, Lord, I just thank you that your hand is upon the conference and Lord God, that whatever purpose you have for this conference, Lord, that it will come to pass, that it will be done, that your will be done, and that when the people that attend will be changed in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Just had surgery to move fibroids, but still praying for God's total healing. Nefertiti, I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing your name. So, Lord, I just pray right now in Jesus' name that you will heal the place in your daughter's body where she was operated on, Lord God, and she's praying for total and complete healing. And Father, I pray that you would heal her from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, that you would heal her mind. And Lord God, I pray that you would get at the root as to why she got the fibroids in the first place, God. I pray that you would heal her from the inside out in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Consistency with amazing, the amazing support. Hi, Dawn. Bless you, dear sister. Thank you for your comment. Father, I thank you that you are blessing Dawn, that you are healing Dawn, that you are causing her to be consistent with whatever her process is for healing, Lord God. So, I just saw, I saw the scripture, hmm, so two, two scenes. The first scene I saw was the scripture where the man is sitting by the pool of Bethesda, waiting for the water to be moved so that he can get down in the water so he could be healed. And the second scene I saw was the woman with the issue of blood. And this could be for anybody. So if this resonates with you, grab a hold of it for yourself. I don't know if you're bleeding heavy or if this is representing just this battle with the reproductive issues you've been going through. But the first, in the first scene, what I sensed from the Lord is that you have to get up and do some work on yourself. Like, you need to get up and eat, write, get your exercise, drink your water, like do the stuff that you need to do and you need to do it consistently and not accept excuses from yourself for not being consistent. And what I get the sense is, as you walk that out, your healing will spring forth speedily. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Prayers for my mind, the enemy is working over time to combat my spirit. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. That's Leah. So what I saw Leah is, of course, I don't know anything about, you don't know anything about your spiritual walk with the Lord. But I feel compelled to tell you that the thing that you want for your mind to be okay for you to be at peace, for you to be able to do it, is not just going to come. Like, one day you wake up and it's there. I don't know if that's your expectation there. I mean, I'm sure you've been praying and asking God like to help you with it. But what you're going to need to do is whatever's going on in your mind, whatever the problem is, you're going to have to go to the scriptures and find out what God's word says about it, write you some scriptures out, start looking at them and meditating on them and decreeing and declaring those scriptures over your mind so you can change the trajectory of the thoughts that are going on in your mind. They're not just going to disappear. That is what I sense when I saw your, when I saw your prayer request. So, Father in Jesus' name, I just ask you to help Leah to be able to go where she needs to go in your, in your word to pull together the scriptures that are going to help her to walk out her freedom in her mind, in the name of Jesus, and in any other place that she is needing assistance, Father. We thank you. Louise Phillips, hi, trusting God for the fibrace to shrink and vanish away, vanish away. I am trusting and believing the same thing for you, Louise. I'm also sensing that there's some things that you need to do for your own health so that you can have this, so you can walk this out. And some of you may have this same prayer, but what I'm seeing in the spirit, and if this resonates with you ladies, other than Louise, please take it for yourself. What I'm seeing in the spirit is like you're praying, you want God to remove the stuff, but there's some things in your life that you need to address emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Like you need to, it's like a trifecta. There's some things that you need to do for yourself so that you can walk this out. And you may be feeling like I'm trying, I can't do it. Let me tell you, if you start doing it and you ask God for help, he will help you. You just have to be willing to do the hard things. It's not easy always. So thank you, Lord. Don says, I have tears, shall see you're absolutely correct. I've been dealing with extreme excessive bleeding for over two the last two weeks, taking prescription, stable plasma levels.  So God, I pray that you walk with her and show her exactly what to do in the name of Jesus. If you're on my email list, Dawn, I sent out a message last week in my email list that talks about things you can do physically to help you with the bleeding. I also have stuff on my YouTube channel too. I just saw the words don't second guess yourself. Don't second guess yourself. So I don't know if you're in the middle of making a decision or something and like you keep going back and forth. I don't know what it is, but that's what I heard. So Father, I pray that whatever this is that you would help her to solidify whatever it is that she needs to make a decision about.  I don't know. He didn't show me what that was. But you're, you're, you might, second guessing your decision, not sure if the decision is the right one. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. I'm so glad I pronounced your name right. Maxine, bless you, dear sister. Speak life and blessings over you. Angelique, I speak life and blessings over you in Jesus' name. Everything that you need to do. You have everything that you need. And when you think you don't have it, God will provide it for you. It'll come out of the air if he needs to make it come that way. You will lack nothing that you need so that you can do whatever it is you need to do. And you know personally what that is. I don't. Sinita, doing well. Bless you, dear sister in Jesus' name. New world, Lord. I'm not sure what that means. Bless you, dear sister. I speak life and healing over you in Jesus' name. Hugh, Hugh Yana, Hugh Yana, Huyana. I'm not sure. Bless you, dear sister. I speak life and blessings over you in Jesus' name. Jesus, Jim, thank you for your kind words. I speak life and blessings over you. Lisa Bullock, I speak life and blessings over you in Jesus' name. I actually am seeing the names from the Facebook feed. That's wonderful. Thank you. I don't know what I did to make that happen, but it's happening. Boss, beauty, Margie. Bless you, dear sister. I speak life and healing over you in Jesus' name. I speak healing over your womb. Boss, beauty, Margie. That's another thing I see for you. It's like you've got to pick up your bed and walk. You've got to do the things that it's going to take for the fibroids to heal, not just the bare minimum. You've got to change your lifestyle and God will walk with you and show you exactly what to do. Start watching the videos on my channel. If you haven't already done that, that will help you as well. Thank you, Lord. Bless you, Chelsea. Is this Chelsea Doris? Bless you, dear sister in Jesus' name. Kimberly Lee. Bless you. You said we thank you for provision. We love Father and adore for giving us another chance. Amen. Amen to that. I speak life and blessings over you in Jesus' name. Rihanna and praying for direction and healing in my body. So Rihanna, I just saw the word surrender. I don't know if God's been speaking to you about surrendering, but that's the word I saw. So when I saw the word, it was like right after the word, I saw all these things in your life falling away. I don't know what the things are.  But what I imagine they would be are things that are contributing to your problem. That could be food you're eating. That could be stress you're under. It could be emotional torment that you're being tormented with. It could be any number of things, but it's like whatever it is, it's time to surrender to the Lord. All of those things so that he can do in you what it is that he wants you to do. Thank you Lord. Okay what is this one? This one is praying for endurance. Hey Mary, God's sustaining power in this healing journey. Yeah, that is a good prayer request. This is a rough one. This one's a hard one because most people whenever they get healed from fibroids or some type of reproductive issue, it's usually a journey. It's normally not, I pray and they're gone. There are people that that happens to and it's very, I haven't heard much of it, but I have heard of it. But I think what God wants to do is heal everything that could even remotely relate to the fibroid. Whether it be your emotional states, how you relate to people, what you're eating, how you're feeding your body, do you have addictions, like he's like all over and wanting to heal everything. So I pray Father that you would give Mary endurance and help her to trust you during this healing journey Lord God. And Father I pray that you would help her to submit to whatever it is she needs to submit to with you so that she's not like hanging out there in a balance longer than she needs to be out there Lord God. Help her to be obedient to whatever it is you tell her to do in the name of Jesus. Father I pray fast healing, quick healing, quick understanding. May she be quick when you tell her something to do it Lord God that she would do it quickly. She would not fight against you that she would do everything that she needs to do on her end in Jesus name. I was in I was in the emergency room this weekend because the large fibroid I need to have them removed. Well I'm sorry to hear that but honestly pray and ask God what you should do about that because normally in the doctor's office unfortunately and in the emergency room the first thing they want you to do is surgery and I'm going to tell you that I don't know how many people I have come to me on a regular basis saying things like I got the fibroids removed and they came back because cutting them out and even getting hysterectomy does not solve the reason you got the fibroids in the first place so please seek God the decision to to take them out because you can shrink fibroids naturally. God will give you the instructions that you need to to heal the fibroids you just have to commit yourself to seeking him for it and actually doing whatever it is he tells you to do so right right now in in Jesus name any woman that is facing a hysterectomy or some kind of surgery for fibroids or if you don't want them to go down that route that you would show them exactly what it is that you want them to do and Father I pray that you would give them peace in their heart around this topic because you are a healer you are a healer and fibroids come from main thing they come from is eating habits and Father I pray that you would shift eating habits that you would shift the desire for food that is that brings life to the body and a detest it a detestment if that's a word towards foods that bring death to the body in the name of Jesus I thank you healing from fibroids high blood pressure pain from past love healthy future pregnancy and children yeah isn't that interesting your prayer is none like none other I mean like I'm sorry like so many others Father in Jesus name I pray that you would help boss beauty Margie to shift her life help her to live a life that looks like healing she walks in healing and she walks in peace that she gets rid of the stress Lord God that she manages to shred the healthiest the healthy amount of stress and gets rid of the stressors that are chronic and grinding in dis and disenfranchised in her life just or we just ask you to help her Father and Father I pray that you would heal her heart of the pain and that you would help her to walk out of the old life into a new life that is healthy that points towards the desires that you have put in her heart for a healthy life that includes a family pregnancy and children because that's our desire God Miss Margie you have to make some decisions to do some different things if you haven't already done that it's not the the thing that the desire that is in your heart for a healthy future is not just going to come because you just said a prayer you're going to have to do the work that's for everybody you're gonna have to do the work ladies and you can do it with God's help all things are possible with God all things are possible with God I'm gonna say it one more time all things are possible with God he didn't say it was gonna be easy but he did say that all things are possible with him in Jesus name thank you Lord thank you Lord yes I understand that praying for finding the root to all of this is stolen too much you're not alone it's stole a lot of my life too I understand how that feels staying home because I was scared I was going to bleed or not attending a function because I didn't like the way my belly looked like I was 10 months pregnant or whatever I understand so Father in Jesus name I thank you and praise you that you are pulling out the root to these problems in the name of Jesus and you're helping your daughters to walk in freedom from these problems ladies I'm just gonna say we've got to be willing to do something different if we want to be free from these fibroids because the way we've been living the way we've been living it ain't it it's the thing that's causing the problems the way we've been living our physical lives like how we've been eating how we've been thinking how we've been taking care of ourselves how we've been doing relationships the emotional junk that's in our heart how we've been doing that that's what's contributing to the problem with the fibroids literally think back over like those of you who have heavy bleeding problems think back over your life when you've had like where the bleeding was like oh my goodness am I gonna have to go to the emergency room kind of bleeding think about what was going on around that time were you stressed out were you worried about money were you like what was going on and that will point you to why you were bleeding do you understand what I'm saying like I would have days where I'm like you know I was on my period and everything seemed fine and if something happened like my kids did something that really ticked me off the floodgates would open up or something that made me afraid the floodgates would open up and the bleeding would just go go go go like and I'd be like oh my goodness why am I bleeding like this but whenever when God was taking me through healing emotions surrounding the reproductive issue he would show me you were bleeding because you were scared you were bleeding because you were worried you were bleeding because x y z he will if we open this part of our lives to him for him to show us he will show us and not only will he show us but he will help us to shift it but we've got to be in his face like white on rice and some of us aren't willing to do that and if we want to be free we're gonna have to do it I don't know any other way amen Louise the Lord will not disappoint our faith in him for healing amen he will not you're welcomed

for complete healing I pray that that sinus that can mucus will break up in the name of Jesus it would break up and drain out of your body in the name of Jesus usually um sinus pressure comes from and and mucus in the body comes from toxicity in your from what you're putting in your body like what you're eating um inflammatory foods like dairy mainly dairy and even it could be in a very small quantities you could have had um made a stir fry or whatever maybe you used butter or something like that like a little tiny bit of butter and it can make you have congestion um it's also mucus can

not sure who this is but bless you I speak life and blessings to you in Jesus name he is strengthening us see we think that because it's hard that we don't have the strength to do what we need to do ladies we do we have it in us it's just the the enemy has us fooled into thinking that it's hard it's not and I think what's hard is here's the hard part it's not the eating of the healthy food because when you start eating the healthy food you start feeling good you start looking better you start like everything starts to change what's hard is what you used the old food for almost every time somebody tells me they fallen off the wagon it's for one or two reasons the first reason is because they were stressed out or you know bored or some type of emotional pain came up that so they ate and the second reason was because they weren't prepared and unfortunately we have to be prepared in this society because everything so quick and fast and greasy and you know ready to shove down our throat because you know the the enemy wants to kill us with all this crazy food so it's not it's not so much that doing the the healthy way is hard it's it's what we're doing the old stuff for that's the hard part because I know I was eating because I was scared I was gonna get abandoned I was eating because out fear of man I was eating because I was stressed out I was eating because of I mean feeling the blank and I'm sorry eating salad and fruit doesn't numb out all those nasty feelings it just doesn't so we have everything we need to do it it's just I believe we just gotta let god deal with why we why would we even want to eat the other stuff that is causing our bodies problems I just had my period and it was rough and I'm declaring that I will it was my last hard period in

nice and then finally one day he was like look x y z i was like why didn't you say that like two years ago he said i did say it i said no you didn't you didn't say it like you said it but you didn't say it you should have you should have said it now it wasn't his fault that i was still struggling and all that stuff it it wasn't his fault but the reality is is that we had to go through those growing pains in our marriage like you got to say it like it is to me i i can't i can't do the whole sugarcoating it because you don't want to hurt my feelings thing and if i hurt your feelings i'm sorry but i say she's hurting my feelings because she loves me how about that i i don't mean to hurt your feelings but like we need to stop playing this game me if you need to be on raw to be on raw
