Alright everybody, a bunch of new information just came out about the pro-Jerrod situation with Heidi and Holly and it is a hot mess. And frankly, their relationship is none of our damn business. But it's a lot like walking in on your parents having sex. You saw it, you can't unsee it, now we need to sit down and have a serious discussion about what you just witnessed. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I like to do is take a look at the YouTube community and pop culture in general and try to see what lessons we can learn from them. Because what good is watching all this stuff go on, but we're not trying to take from it and see what we can apply to our own lives. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So real quick, before I jump into this story and my thoughts and opinions on it, I do want to know, I want you to know for full transparency sake, I did private my first two videos about this situation. The reason being is that a bunch of new information just came out.  My first video was talking about those allegations, it was talking about him being a cheater. And because of the new information coming out, my opinion has changed. The second video I took down was about Heidi being a survivor of abuse, getting therapy, and all of that. Now I am very glad that Heidi's in therapy and I'm going to talk more about that in a second, but I took those videos down and you're going to understand why as soon as I jump into this. All right, so Holly just came back on Twitter and she shared her side of the situation. And I cannot tell you, I feel, I feel awful for Jared. I feel awful for Heidi. I feel awful for Holly.  I want to be a streamer. Just imagine thousands if not millions of people witnessing what's happening right now. It is a hot mess for everybody. But anyways, Holly came out and she shared her side of the story. She recently got out of the hospital. She talked about how when this situation first popped off, she started to have a lot of thoughts of self harm. She talks about this on Twitter. And I do appreciate that she talks about like, don't be embarrassed about this. If you need help, go get help. All right, like as a mental health advocate, as somebody who has struggled with my own mental health issues, as somebody who's trying to get all of you to get therapy or 12 step meetings or whatever it is that's going to help you, like do it. So kudos to Holly for talking about that. But anyways, Holly felt the need to clear her name. In the same way that James Charles did, like it's crazy that these were the two biggest stories that just happened in the last couple weeks, and the script has completely changed. And I understand like a bunch of fellow people in the commentary community like, wow, like it's difficult because you want to cover this stuff, but then more information comes out. But anyways, the most we can do is update all of you and correct some information. But anyways, I am not going to read all of everything that happened. Like, go check it out. I will link these, these tweets down below the whole threads and everything. But to kind of summarize it, Holly came out and explain the whole situation. She still stands by that Heidi was abusive to Jared, and Holly was trying to help Jared.  The screenshots that Heidi and Jared, like those, like, those really worried me. Like it painted Heidi in a much different light than the original story that came out. Okay, now I'm not saying that Heidi wasn't a victim. Like, I'll get back to this, but I think it was a mutually abusive relationship on an emotional level. But anyways, Heidi was threatening Jared and all these things kind of like what Jared originally stated. And now we have evidence of this, but she was talking about taking pleasure in destroying like Jared's livelihood. All right. And that's troublesome. Okay. And that's kind of the key takeaway I want you to take from this. But what it appears was what I mentioned in my last video that this was a polyamorous thing that the rules changed on. And that's when things get a little bit messy. Like I mentioned in my last video, like quick trying to cling onto relationships that just are not working. Okay. But Holly, I feel immensely bad for her because she was slut-shamed to high hell.  And that's the brutal thing about this whole cancel culture and mob mentality and everything about it. Like, like Holly is definitely a victim in this situation. Now Jared, from what it looks like, Jared and Heidi were trying to save their marriage and they experimented with polyamory. Okay. From what Holly said, the allegations against Jared with underage fans are untrue. And I believe they're, they're seeking like legal help for that. And all of that stuff. Okay. But those are very serious allegations. That's why I've never played into that because like, like when that was happening to James Charles as well, like we have to be very, very careful about those types of allegations. But from what Holly says and what Jared says, like consenting adults, swapping nude photos, that's cool. Now something that Holly mentioned is taking nudes that somebody sent you in a consensual form and then publicly posting those, that is something called revenge porn, which is illegal in I believe 48 states. All right. So don't do that. Like if any of you remember that website is anyone up, that was a hot mess and destroyed a lot of lives. Don't do revenge porn.  So anyways, once Heidi caught wind that Holly came out with all of this stuff, Heidi immediately started defending herself and everything like that, which is normal. And in my opinion, in my personal opinion, Heidi really missed the key points of what happened. Okay. So she also shows a bunch of screenshots of Holly apologizing to Heidi and villainizing Heidi. Okay. And I think, in my opinion, the main thing to look at in this situation was that Heidi wasn't a thousand percent the victim. Okay. As we original thought. And that's what I think I took away from Holly series of tweets. Like this was just a messy relationship that all of us have witnessed now. Okay. So this is my opinion. I'm not a detective, but based on what I've seen happen, as well as my personal experience with a bunch of messy relationships and putting all these pieces together, let me paint what I think the timeline was. All right. Bear with me. Heidi and Jared were having a difficult marriage and a difficult relationship. They started toying around with the idea of polyamory. Okay. And polyamorous relationships, they can both kind of hook up with whoever they want or open relationship, whatever you want to call it. All right. I know there's differences. So don't quote me on that. I don't want people freaking out on me, but you get what I'm saying. Okay. So Heidi and Jared start talking to other people. Apparently Heidi was in a long distance relationship with somebody that was long term. All right. Now, from what it looks like, Heidi was okay with Jared exploring his feelings with Holly. And that's when things got messy. All right. It seems like halfway through this, Heidi got very upset and changed the rules on Jared. Okay. Now, from the screenshots, it looks like Heidi exploded on Holly. And in Holly's situation, her immediate reaction was, oh my God, I did something wrong. Jared lied to me. Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. That's what it looks like. Okay. But based on the screenshots that Jared sent to Holly, it looks like after Holly apologized to Heidi, it looks like Jared said, now, Holly, here's what's really going on. And then Holly was like, oh my God, you're in an abusive relationship.  That's what I think happened. Okay. So I don't think there is like anybody in this situation is just a purely awful person. What it sounds like to me was that this was a bad marriage and we all witness all the messiness that went along with it and this divorce. Okay.  All right. So my final thoughts are this, I am glad that Holly got help. Okay. It sucks that she was put on blast the way she was without her side of the story fully being out there.  But this is one of the things where I don't know, I hate to say it because none of us deserve this. But when we go into the public spotlight, like, we all have to know that there's a chance of something like this happening. So I am really glad that Holly got help. And now she is speaking her side of the story. Jared, I'm glad that he's getting help now. And I hope this whole thing ends soon. And like they have lawyers and mediators involved. That's what I'm hoping for. And I hope this all chills out.    So hopefully Jared recoups some of his subscribers and he can continue doing what he loves to do with gaming and DND and all that stuff. All right. Now Heidi in this situation. Like a lot of people are trying to demonize Heidi, but I seriously feel for her. Okay. Heidi has been very vocal about getting into therapy and being in therapy. So hopefully she continues to pursue that and explore these things that are going on. Because just from my personal opinion, looking at those screenshots of the messages between Heidi and Jared, it seems like Heidi was just very insecure about the relationship and she would freak out if Jared didn't respond. I'm not sure if they were apart at that time or like in different parts of the country, like both traveling or whatever, but she seemed really, really scared. And that is something that I think a lot of us can relate to where we freak out on somebody because of our own insecurities or maybe our own abandonment issues. So I'm glad that Heidi is still working on herself and going to therapy. And hopefully this is a learning experience for everybody. Like you guys, like every relationship that we've been in, just try to look at it. Like don't look at any relationship you've ever been in this from my experience. Don't look at any past relationship as this waste of time. I wasted my time with this person. I always hear people after a breakup, oh my God, I can't believe I wasted time or wasted this on you. Every relationship you get out of, you learn something. Okay. You learn something for the next relationship. Maybe it's what kind of partner you should pick. Maybe it's how to handle arguments or issues within that relationship. Like what worked and what didn't work in the last relationship. You see what I mean? There's so much to learn from. Like if it wasn't for all the awful relationships that I had been in, then I wouldn't have been able to find the most amazing relationship of my life with my beautiful girlfriend Tristan who gets to listen to me record videos. All right. But anyways, those are my thoughts on this situation. Again, it sucks that this was all put out there in public, but I feel like we need to discuss it because there's so many people just picking sides, taking sides. Who's lying? Who's this? Who's that?  I would love to hear yours down in the comments below. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge, huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon. You're all amazing. And if you would like to become a Patreon support what I'm doing here on this channel, get your name up in the credits, get involved in our monthly Q&A and all that good stuff, click a tap right there. All right. Thanks again so, so much for watching. I'll see you next time.


There's a couple of things that really make this type of training so valuable. Specifically in the Central Command area of responsibility, there's a lot of threats and there's a lot of things that we're interested in being able to influence and our partners in this region are very, very important. Anything we can do to strengthen those relationships, build those bonds, build individual relationships between commanders and increase familiarity will always be a benefit for our force. So we got to exercise our ship to shore capabilities, utilizing the LCACS as service connectors as well as some CMP, live fire maneuver, as well as a stress shoot. The 2.6 Mu BLT and Weapons Company, I think, did a good job proving that we can take a short planning timeframe, work with some key partners in the CENTCOM AOR and come up with some great training over the course of a couple of days.


This is the first mountain division of the new German Army. German soldiers who today stand side by side with Americans on freedom's first line of defense in Western Europe. Picture. An official report produced for the armed forces and the American people. Now to show you part of the big picture, here is Sergeant Stuart Queen. And future historians write the moving story of our times. The terrible tragedy of World War II will dominate their thoughts. It was this war which brought destruction and suffering unprecedented in modern history to a nation which was as well known for its technological and scientific achievements as it was for its cultural contributions to the world. In a devastated, unproductive barren land following World War II, their homes and factories in ruins, the German people faced a prospect of reconstruction which seemed almost impossible. From all their former enemies, save one, the people of this stricken land received both help and understanding in their efforts to build anew upon the ruins of the old. In one city alone, the former capital, Berlin, there were scenes of destruction which nearly equalled the damage suffered by entire nations in the previous wars of history. So extensive was this wreckage that merely clearing away the rubble was itself a task of Herculean proportions. Yet in the midst of this, life went on. The shadows of the past began to recede and a new Germany turned her eyes toward the future. With remarkable speed, there emerged from the ruins a new nation, new in respect to both its physical surroundings and in the political environment which was to control the lives and destinies of its people. Busy, prosperous scenes such as these became the rule rather than the exception, but only in that portion of the nation which remained free of communist domination. Germany had emerged as a nation half free and half slave. As they continued the process of reconstruction, the West Germans, together with the whole free world, were reminded time and again of the communist threat to the East, reminded by such leaders as their own freely elected chancellor Dr. Konrad Adenauer. Dr. Adenauer is saying, you are the first soldiers of a new German army. You will have many difficulties overcoming both the shadows of the past and the problems of the future. After years of trial, the German people now belong to a partnership of the free nations of the world. We have equal rights among these nations, but we also have equal obligations. The German people look to you as the defenders not only of their nation, but also as the defenders of our allies. Without this mutual cooperation between all free nations, the defense of one nation would be impossible. The sole goal of the new German army is to aid in this defense, to keep the peace. We mean this from the bottom of our hearts. Chancellor Adenauer made those remarks early in 1956 at the formation of the new German army. Since that time, the German army under the guidance and control of her democratic civilian government has made great contributions to the common defense of our free world. How our government is working with that new German army in our common defense is the subject of today's big picture. This is the United States Embassy in Bonn, Germany, capital of the German Federal Republic. This modern building is itself a striking example of post-war reconstruction. The embassy is also the headquarters of an organization known as the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group, Germany. MAG, as it is commonly known, is a tri-service organization staffed by representatives of all America's armed services. To MAG headquarters on an average day come members of many different branches of Germany's armed forces. For it is MAG which must largely determine what military materiel Germany is to receive under America's Mutual Security Program, and it is MAG which renders the military advice and assistance necessary to see that this equipment is used to its best advantage. Among the American officers who witnessed the birth and growth of Germany's new army from the very beginning is Lieutenant-General Clark L. Ruffner, present commander of the United States Third Army. As a major general, he commanded U.S. MAG Germany during a critical period in the history of Germany's new army. The German buildup, some aspects of which you are about to be shown, dates from early 1956. You might keep this in mind as you see in the scenes to follow some of the things that accomplished in only two years. Germany has staged a remarkable economic recovery since World War II, and a similar performance is demonstrated daily in the development of our armed forces. We are not dealing here with a nation backward in industrial or military know-how. Rather, we deal with a nation whose capabilities have been amply demonstrated in the past. I can assure you the German army is a democratic army. Further, her ties with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are as firm as our own, and she needs to carry out completely her commitments made to her NATO partners. During this film, you will see some of the things which have been accomplished and other things which are still going on in the German army. With the passage of time, the direct assistance by U.S. personnel, which you will observe in this film, is constantly being decreased as the German armed forces gain self-sufficiency. I trust that this presentation gives you the impression as service with MagGermany has given us that all of us in NATO are joined here by a strong, willing, and reliable nation. One of the first tasks to be faced by U.S. MagGermany was helping to determine what kind and how much equipment the new Federal Republic would require. A flow of equipment had to be created at the same moment that men were being recruited throughout Germany to form the army which would utilize it. The formation of even a small modern army and equipping it with the latest weapons is an exceedingly complicated job. These giant helicopters arriving from the United States late in 1955 were symbolic of advances which had occurred in the few years since Germany last had an army. Much of the new American equipment went from docks at the port of entry to the town of Andernach, about 40 kilometers from Mag headquarters at Bonn and the destined birthplace of Germany's new army. The U.S. Army M-47 tank and later the M-48, named after General George Patton, was the original choice of the new German army. These tanks were furnished under grant A. Subsequently, the German army selected the M-48 for purchase. Throughout the latter part of 1955 and the early months of 1956, American equipment pours into Andernach by the truckload. It is taken in charge by the few experienced German troops who are to be the nucleus of Germany's new army. New weapons for a new Democratic army, an army which in January 1956 still remains largely on paper, but which is ready to grow. Into the railroad station at Andernach now come the first large contingents of those who are to be the backbone of Germany's new army. The first of 1,000 young Germans who will work with U.S. mag advisors to form an important new link in the chain of security which stretches across non-communist Europe. These men have been carefully selected from among the German Federal Republic's youth. As the vanguard of her new army, they will have an important role in determining the character of Germany's armed forces in the decades ahead. The atmosphere which they encounter is strikingly different from that of 15 or 20 years ago. Under the strict control of her civilian government, the new German army is to become an appropriate instrument of a free and Democratic nation. There will be discipline, but it will be applied with reason. As they board the bus for a journey through the tree-covered streets of Andernach, the new recruits cannot fail to be conscious of their own importance, of the magnitude of the tasks which lie before them, and of their opportunity. Within a few months, these men themselves will have become the experienced soldiers and non-commissioned officers of a brand new army. Here in historic Andernach, they are about to begin a new chapter in the history of their country and of Europe. For several months here in the service school at Andernach, the recruits will work with their American MAG advisors, acquiring skill and facility in the handling of the very latest weapons and equipment. Awaiting the recruits at Andernach concern will be not only members of the American MAG staff, but also German officers recently returned from military training centers in the United States. Upon completion of their training by these officers and their American advisors, the recruits themselves will be ready to serve as military instructors in German Army service schools throughout the Federal Republic. First, however, the formalities of becoming a soldier, signing in with a recruiting officer, uniforms. There are certain advantages to being part of a new army. The uniforms, for instance, are also new, and fitted with a keen eye to the recruits' personal requirements. It's not every army private who receives the attention of his own personal tailor. Comfortable shoes are an important part of a soldier's equipment. He spends a lot of time in them and covers a lot of territory. In every army in the world, the first thing the recruit encounters is calisthenics. Soldering requires good health and strong bodies, both of which must be earned through hard work and hard play. Another institution well known to soldiers in every army in the world, dismounted drill, or as it was known to Americans in the last war, close-order drill. By whatever name it is known, it's a standard, though not always popular, form of exercise for soldiers the world around. This portion of the training at Andernach is conducted by German officers and non-coms. The work of MAG advisors will begin once we enter the classroom. In this class, German troops are oriented in the use of the 3.5 rocket launcher, the famous American bazooka for use against tanks and other forms of armor. The U.S. developed bazooka, and Germany's World War II Panzerfaust were among the first successful applications of rockets to modern warfare. With the assistance of a German translator and interpreter, the U.S. instructor conducts his class sentence by sentence, English first and then German. As time went on in the Military Assistance Advisory Program, language barriers became less and less of a problem. MAG instructors acquired a working knowledge of military German and were also surprised to learn that fully 20% of their German students spoke reasonably good English. Working together in their classrooms, MAG instructors and their students generally acquired knowledge not on the formal agenda. In addition to the technical knowledge imparted, they developed a mutual respect and understanding, which will prove valuable both to themselves and to their countries for many years to come. Bilingual classes, such as this one on the carbine, also serve to demonstrate the practicability of the NATO idea, which envisages troops of many different nationalities working together as a smooth functioning unit. Here's another exercise familiar to any soldier or former soldier. Beginners' rifle practice. No shots are fired. The recruit learns from the pre-sighted gun what the target should look like through his gun sights. Next, he tries his own eye by orally directing his instructor's marking pencil toward the bullseye while looking through the gun sight. In this manner, he will have made considerable progress in marksmanship before he ever sets foot on a rifle range. In the intensive training program at Andernach, even recreation hours are a source of new knowledge. Notes are compared, questions answered, and new friendships cemented between the Germans and their MAG advisors. Time is short because these are more than soldiers in the new German Army. They are the nucleus of a fast growing organization which needs trained instructors. The shoes which only a short time ago, it seems, were being fitted in the supply room are now polished to a high gloss in preparation for graduation. Graduation is short and informal. No parades, no brass bands. Just a handshake from the commanding officer and a certificate which says, you are ready to begin practicing what you've learned. These tanks belong to one of the most important service schools to which Andernach graduates may be sent. The German Army Ordnance School at St. Hoffman. At St. Hoffman, the Andernach graduates, now familiar with the Nohmen Plature and basic theory of their American issue equipment, work with German recruits to acquire operational skill with the weapons. MAG instructors are on hand to provide guidance or advice which may be needed. In providing assistance and advice to the new German Army, the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group is helping to forge a strong new link in the defense forces of Western Europe, the NATO forces of which the German Federal Republic is today an important member. Scenes like this are being repeated in many parts of Europe as the NATO countries standardize their military training, tactics and equipment, forging themselves into a great defensive military machine composed of similar interchangeable units. All the NATO countries, including the United States, constant testing is carried on to determine the best possible weapons for use by such troops as these. Also located at St. Hoffman is the new German Army Signal School. Here, too, men of the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group for Germany are employed in the task of providing instruction in accordance with the highest American standards for the operation and maintenance of U.S. furnished equipment. At the high point of its operation, U.S. MAG Germany involved only 700 officers and men stationed at German Army installations, a relative handful of men, but one which produced effects far greater than its own numerical size. This is the German Army Paratroop School, an installation which uses U.S. Army equipment in many phases of its training and which, accordingly, employs the services of MAG advisory. There have been many developments in the art of parachuting, as well as in the strategic and tactical employment of such troops, but the essentials are still courage and practice. Because of it, the men will someday be able to leap from low-flying aircraft with less danger than a pedestrian encounters crossing a busy city street. This is Mittenwald, Germany, one of the most scenic locales in the world. The great mountains surrounding Mittenwald mark the border between Germany and Austria. Just outside Mittenwald are the buildings of the Jaeger-Cassonne, home of the first mountain division of the new German Army. To Mittenwald, as to Army installations all over Germany, come both graduates of the German Army Service Schools and representatives of the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group. Here at Mittenwald, in many cases, old friendships are renewed between German trainees, now instructors, and their U.S. MAG advisors from other installations. Here, they will work together in the headquarters of an impressive going concern, the first mountain division of a new Army. There is an especially strong camaraderie between the men of this organization and their American advisors. During the war in Europe, mountain troops played an important part. Cracked troops of both the American and the German armies were organized in mountain divisions. Much of the work at Mittenwald involves field maneuvers, during which men of the new German Army, who have already received training elsewhere, begin the task of welding themselves into a smoothly functioning unit. In the time which has passed since the first contingent of 1,000 recruits arrived at Andernach in 1956, the new German armed forces have grown to a well-trained, well-equipped force of about 175,000 men. The fact that they are both well-trained and well-equipped is due in no small part to the few hundred specialists attached to the staff of U.S. MAG Germany. The first mountain division is today one of nine German divisions pledged to the mutual defense of Western Europe. By 1961, the total forces pledged to NATO by the German Federal Republic will consist of 12 full divisions, the results of years of effort on the part of both the Federal Republic and her American allies. As West Germany's Defense Minister recently stated, it is also the result of Germany's determination to help the NATO Alliance in fulfilling its function, which is basically the prevention of war. For three years and more, from the moment of the German Federal Republic's inception, German troops and their U.S. advisors have worked without ceasing to create an efficient military force, which under the firm control of its democratic civilian government can take its place beside the armed forces of the anti-communist democracy. Common tactics, standardized weapons and ammunition, plus well-trained troops add up to a NATO military force of impressive strength. U.S. military assistance advisory groups have played a major role in its creation. The success of the U.S. military assistance advisory group in Germany is nowhere better demonstrated than in this ceremony, marking the formal turning over of the first German mountain division to NATO. Reviewing the division on this occasion is General Hans Spidel, himself a German officer and the commander of the NATO ground forces in central Europe. Our nation alone, to undertake the full defense of communist imperialism, would impose a colossal burden of defense spending on the American people. For other free nations, individually to counter the threat would be impossible. The United States in its own interest and other free nations in their interests have therefore joined a system of collective security in which the efforts of each nation sustains all. The German people who have experienced tyranny at first hand may be expected to remain a keystone of that system. 20th century are in a position to know that totalitarianism is a contagious disease. Wherever it exists, it is a threat to free men everywhere. The German people have perhaps more reason than most to realize the consequence of military unpreparedness in the face of such a threat. In the ranks of free men, they are determined to assist in the defense of that hard-won victory. MAG, the United States military assistance advisory group, is there to help them.

Today I called it strong, but bound And the scripture that I'm gonna read from Comes from scripture mark chapter 3 verse 27, and I'm just gonna read you one verse and it says this now No one can enter into the strong man's house a strong man say strong men and Plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man, and then he plunders his house See every time I look at that scripture I always refer to to a strong man as a demon or Satan and using it in that sort of a context because in earlier Verses you read and Jesus talks about Satan and that Satan cannot get started Satan because the kingdom can be divided and so this whole context of talking about Satan and All of a sudden this verse comes and we always sometimes read it as a continuation of that What Jesus was talking about but I want to take a little bit from a different perspective today and look at us as Christian as children of God being as a strong man And let me explain to you a bit Bible So right point number one Bible calls us to be strong Bible calls us to be strong, and I'll get to the scripture later I'm just gonna lay a little bit of groundwork for before we get into that In Joshua 1 9 he says I have have I not commanded you be strong and courageous as Children of God God calls upon us to rise up and be strong for us not to be weak Not for us not to be feeble for us not to be cowards not to run away from the challenge away from the pressure God is calling us to be strong say be strong He commends us before Joshua took over the nation of Israel and he led them into the promised land God came to Josh and he told him three times be strong and courageous be strong and courageous be strong and courageous for us as children of God it is a portion to be strong in First Corinthians 1 18 says be on your God stand firm in your faith be courageous Be strong in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10. He says finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power in Joel chapter 3 and 10 famous scripture that we quote a lot.  I mean you 86 year old grandma. This is you know impossible for a physical strength because we were created by God to be We were not limited to our physical strength as an body and our physical abilities but God placed the strength in us which is hidden in a mental capacity to embrace to embrace the challenge and and And whatever comes at us that one of the definitions of being strong is an ability to withstand great force and great pressure and God calls us to be strong. He's calling us to be able to stand against Anything that comes against us stand against every pressure Stand against any kind of Forces that comes against us for us to be tenacious for us to be relentless Vigorous and for us to be resilient in our stand and never to back down This is who we are as Children of God. This is who were created to be see when God Created us Bible says he created us in his image when lion gives birth He gives birth to a lion when eagle gives birth. He Produces eagles Every creature produces of its kind God created us in his image and we know one thing about God. He is mighty God. He is strong God and No being strong. It doesn't mean That you don't have fears being strong.  She said, you know what? I don't think I'm strong. It's just by the grace of God, but this is the key this is the point is that it's not that You don't feel pain. It's not that you don't feel the challenge It's not that you don't feel at times that you want to give up But is that in the midst of all these things are going on you say, I'm not going back. I'm not backing down I am taking a next step forward Even if I don't see what's ahead of me Even if I don't know what's the next step gonna bring even if I don't know what next day is gonna bring I am not Going down Bible says that after you done all that you can't just stand and That's the real strength of a believer That's the real strength that we have to be strong and to be courageous never backing down Never going back knowing that God's supporting our position Not looking at our physical abilities not looking at resources not looking at what we have or don't have But understanding that let the weak say I am strong regardless whether I feel weak Well regardless whether you know, I have a lot or don't have much I am strong because Holy Spirit is inside of me. God is on my side. He has his back He has his mind set upon me. He has great future prepared for me He has good intents for me in Jesus name. Therefore. I can't quit. I can't quit I can't fall back. I have to stand strong and be courageous in Jesus mighty name How many strong people do we have in this place? Come on. Let's put our hands for Jesus Apostle Paul is writing to in 1st John chapter 2 13. He says I'm I'm writing to you young people because you have overcome the evil one You have overcome the evil one and that's the strength that comes from the Lord In Philippians 3 13 Bible says I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me say I can do all things in Jesus name Amen Point number two that I want to share and we're going to come back to the scripture that I read Be free We write the scripture that said no one can enter strong man's house and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man And then he plunders his goods See we can be this we can be strong. We might feel it or not feel it, but we can be strong But the way Satan plunders our life The way satan steals from us. Bible says he came to steal kill and destroy. We know his nature the way satan Operates in our life is through bondage He brings bondage into our life. He brings addictions to porn to masturbation He brings addictions to lust. He brings addictions to drugs alcohol He brings addiction to even a small things or as innocent things that we look at as like movies Or constantly doing useless things addiction to social media He brings our life. He brings certain bondage. It might be even small and insignificant But to rob our life bible says he binds the strongman first and then what he does he plunders of the goods Let's take a look at for example small addiction like social media You know, it's a it's not a sin But when it becomes a bondage It steals your time Seals you from relationships Steals you you see people they go out on the dates And people are and sometimes i'm guilty of it too And you see two people are sitting together yet.  All right, we finished our conversation on that except that three weeks later He was in a an accident certain things happened lost his commercial license lost his lost money because well and possibly facing a lawsuit will lose any of Hopefully not but lose even more money Small bondage But satan operates through bondage through sin brings that and then steals Remember one thing Doesn't matter how strong you feel Doesn't matter how much resources you have doesn't matter how educated you are Doesn't matter how many things you think you got and you think you're invincible If you allow bondage in your life if you allow sin Satan will plunder your life your house your health your finances your business. He will take it all But i'm glad that today we're in the house of god And even if you caught in a snare and on the trap of satan god will break you free in jesus mighty name God will set you free in a mighty name of jesus christ In hebrus chapter 12 paul says put every hindrance And put every sin that easily Entangles in other words says ensnares us See we're running the race all of us whether you realize it or not We're running this race called life and apostle paul says run the race in such a way that you will get a reward If you're gonna get on a track and those of you that had at very least pe I'm not even talking about participating in sports But when you get in on a on a track to run or get into a game The point of a game getting into the game is so that you win You know nowadays, you know our society is shifting towards making everybody feel good and and given participation trophies, but that's not a biblical way Okay, that's that's just not a biblical way. Bible says run the race in such a way that you get the prize the bottom line I don't want to get a participation trophy. Okay. I want to get A trophy for winning the race So apostle paul in hebrus says run the race in such a way That you receive a prize but then he warns us and he says Put away Every hindrance every put away every weight first of all he says That will might slow you down And then he says put away Seen that ensnares you seen that entangles you seen that eventually will bind you And you will put all this effort in your life.  You're not receiving the reward yet You're not seen breakthrough in your in your finances yet. You're not seen breakthrough in your health in your marriage You know how many how many marriages? Got broken down because they they they allowed Things like pornography and other things in their marriage Thinking that they're gonna spice up the love life But at the end satan used that trojan horse to bring bondage in their life and broke apart their marriage Their sexual life went even worse than it was before Children are suffering because parents are split apart because parents are arguing and bondage satan used bondage to come and and plunder their life Anytime you allow sin in your life anytime you allow any kind of bondage in your life Satan will plunder your life 100% Whether it's may not be here today might not be even tomorrow might not be even three months from now But keep wanting in mind If you hide that bondage if you don't seek freedom, we have many wonderful leaders in the church We have many wonderful Pastors in the church that will not judge you but will work with you to help you to break off that addiction that you're facing Break off that cycle of sin or cycle of setback Whatever it is But we're here to pray for you to help you break that snare So satan will stop plundering your life and you can live a life that god has promised you So we can sit here and we can ask god god bless me God bless me god bless me and god wants to bless you and god might be even pouring blessings into your life But if your vessel Is broken if your vessel if your bucket contains holes Any kind of blessing that god's going to pour into your life Which is simply will leak out any kind of blessing that god has for your marriage or simply leak out If you don't get rid of sin and bondage Satan will steal from your life You can be strong. You can have degrees. You can be smart. You can have all kinds of things, you know, like working for you But if you have bondage It will plunder your life and i'll finish with um You know what my personal My personal story In my life, you know, I started Decided not to go to college right after high school or right when I was still in high school decided to I decided to you know, open up businesses and I was reading a lot of business books going to a lot of different business seminars and doing um A lot of those things, you know by by the age of in 1920 had multiple businesses A few years later had six or seven five or six businesses Well, most of them were doing really well and was making really good money But there was certain things in my life And I didn't I don't understand it Back then but there were certain generational curses were operating in my life The generational curse of of lust and other things that were Laying dormant for some time or or or they were um, it was it was hidden for some time and On outside, maybe I looked strong on outside. Maybe I looked successful and honestly To to to some manager if people look at my life, they'd said I was I was making very good money every single month I was making a month what people were making a year or more Take home pay and I was doing very well You know, uh, things were doing well owning, uh, real estate and and I trade I have having a hedge fund The competent and straight in markets are doing very well for my age and what I was I was very well on the way to hit my goals and my targets becoming a millionaire owning these real estate properties owning these things and everything Right at the peak of all things Things just came crumbling down. It's like in 2005 six and seven. It's like The rug was pulled under me everything that I worked for worked really hard Everything that accumulated for those years all the plans that I've made were just simply Taking from underneath of me like unexplainably I mean, it's just it was I was just like it's like I was watching a movie And I had no control of what's happening My marriage went down Finances completely destroyed. I mean everything was brought down because of that bondage of that generational curse That was following my family And I thank god for for our pastor I think that he for my dad that realized that this problem was spiritual problem and begin to seek spiritual solutions And not until I've received my deliverance from that bondage from that generational curse that things begin to work Things I begin to put things together my life. I begin to put those Those goods like what what we read in my life back into my house. God began to bless me Open up the businesses again. Things begin to prosper things begin to go God began to open the doors. God began to bless me with resources and connection and life turned around I want to tell you today if you notice in something in your life that you're working hard You're pushing forward it, but there's constantly something pushing you back. Maybe there's a bondage in your life Maybe a generational curse. Maybe it's nothing to do like we've just heard a testimony of a person It's not necessarily something that he did. It was just a generational thing that passed on to him But he was constantly held back in his life. He's struggling here in voices. God today can break that over your life The spirit of the lord is here in this place and any kind of bondage Whether it's some kind of sin that you constantly find yourself falling back into it constantly falling back into it You constantly being set back in your life.  I read first john first john 2 13 for you. He says Young man for you. You have overcome the devil. You can't overcome the evil one today.
