How to Manifest God’s Blessings in Your Life

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,120
Hey, everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast, where we're going to help

2
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:11,020
you discover your kingdom destiny.

3
00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:15,520
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,920
And in this episode, we're going to discuss how to manifest blessings in your life.

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,920
But before we jump into this topic and more, Rabbi, did you do anything interesting over

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,640
the weekend or did you just kind of enjoy yourself?

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,160
Yeah, this weekend, probably the most interesting thing we did was really have a time to be

8
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,760
able to, Christy and I, to be able to review.

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,400
I know it's taken a while, but to review our trip to Israel and kind of download and

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,120
talk about what were the takeaways spiritually for she and I, not looking at the humanitarian

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,480
aid side, not looking at the trauma of the terror, not looking at the needs and, you

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:04,520
know, like our staff there, but just she and I, you know, as a couple and as a family,

13
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,480
what did we learn?

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,480
What should we learn?

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,360
What do we need to change and adjust?

16
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,120
Because anytime you have a defining moment in your life, you need to take time to kind

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,680
of mine out the nuggets and you need to do it before the, so to say, before the information

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,680
gets old.

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,820
So anyway, that's what we did.

20
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:28,280
We just mined out the nuggets of what the Lord's trying to do with us.

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,560
Yeah, yeah.

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:36,200
I guess on another note, you know, I mean, 2024 has really started pretty much on fire

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,680
with getting like a lot of different requests to do some speaking engagements and, you know,

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,080
I mean, very typical to have a good random rotation of requests.

25
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,680
When I got here like two years ago, it was pretty out of control.

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,600
Like you just had so many and they were so random.

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,800
And so I think we've done a good job at trying to not condense, but get it more organized

28
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,760
into a workflow for you.

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:08,280
But is it still fun doing all these requests and, you know, all these speaking engagements?

30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:18,580
Yeah, listen, I, what I do is I really pray for seriously, I really pray over everyone.

31
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,300
And sometimes I know there might be people listening and saying, well, we asked them

32
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,080
to come, he didn't speak.

33
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,280
I don't, boy, you're asking a real loaded question here.

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,280
I don't-

35
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Is it fun?

36
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Is it fun?

37
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Fun.

38
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,120
It's always fun when it's really the Lord sending you out, even in difficult speaking

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,120
places.

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Okay.

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,920
I mean, the Lord may like send you into like some of the places we went into in Nicaragua,

42
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,240
dangerous, difficult, difficult accommodations.

43
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
You can't drink the water, the food, all the stuff.

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,920
But they, yeah, they, I don't know if fun's the right word, but they're very fulfilling.

45
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,320
But with us, what we do is if we, if we feel led that what we're carrying the people need,

46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,320
it's fun.

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200
You can't just take the speaking engagement because you're trying to fill a calendar.

48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
I guess that's what I'm trying to say, Darrell.

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Yeah, yeah.

50
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880
No, completely out of left field.

51
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880
You had no idea I was going to ask that.

52
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:20,120
And you know, I think that's what's cool about a platform and like a show like this is that

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,480
it's very sometimes out of left field.

54
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,280
And that's when you get the best responses, the most organic responses.

55
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,920
I feel like that the Holy Spirit works through you a little bit different when you get these

56
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,640
random questions from me or, you know, questions from the listeners.

57
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,220
And anyways, I guess, I guess it's a good segue to say, hey, if you've got questions

58
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:45,800
and you know, you've got topics and you want to do some different stuff and you want to

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,360
figure out how to get in touch with us, just send your email to podcast at curtlandry.com.

61
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,520

62
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680
It's going to help us out a lot.

63
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,240
Also if you've been enjoying these episodes as podcasts, make sure to leave us a review

64
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,960
on Spotify, Apple, just wherever you're listening to this podcast.

65
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000
It really, really helps the show.

66
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,680
And I think it shows other people that are looking for a good podcast in this nature

67
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,040
that there's credibility on the podcast because other people are reviewing it and we would

68
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
just kindly ask you to jump in there.

69
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,120
All right.

70
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,720
So in this episode, Rabbi, we're really discussing the topic of manifesting blessings or I guess

71
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,360
the question how to manifest blessing.

72
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,520
So I guess when you get that question or over your lifespan of preaching and just spreading

73
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,320
the word, how do you really respond to that when someone's saying, hey, I'm trying to

74
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,320
figure this out.

75
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480
I'm trying to activate that.

76
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Where do you start?

77
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,160
Let's try to really take baby steps into this.

78
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,160
Okay.

79
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Blessings flow.

80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Okay, they flow.

81
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,120
So let's imagine a river, okay?

82
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,760
Rivers flow and they go to the lowest spot, they follow that low spot, which is symbolic

83
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200
of humility and they flow.

84
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:29,160
A lot of the ways the Lord refers to us as trees.

85
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,200
And when we're in right alignment with the flow, He says, you shall be a tree planted

86
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:42,080
by the river of living water, meaning that your destiny for blessings comes from your

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,240
root system, not from your branches.

88
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,180
So it's what's underneath you, not what's above that everybody sees.

89
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:58,880
So it's character, it's integrity, it's values that the roots underneath is what's really

90
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,200
important.

91
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,520
And so there's really two types of blessings and if you want, I can kind of unpack those

92
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:14,840
because to understand how blessings flow in that river, then it will help people to…I'm

93
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:22,200
one of the ones that I have spent the majority of my life trying to flow with God and His

94
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000
blessings and not have to go chase it.

95
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,040
I'm not a chaser.

96
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:36,320
And so I think people need to understand how blessings work and how do you attract them

97
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,600
or receive them into your life to where there's actually deliverables in your life.

98
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Yeah, yeah.

99
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,160
One thing before we jump really into that and you break it down and let the listeners

100
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,880
know how they can kind of work through this is that if you're working on goals in 2024,

101
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,400
you definitely need this free resource, Goals to Grow By 2024 Edition.

102
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,280
It's Rabbi Kurt's game plan.

103
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:10,000
If you want to accomplish goals and do some big things in your life and make some changes,

104
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,580
you're going to need this guide.

105
00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:17,920
It's completely free, paid for by you, people listening and people donating.

106
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,760
And so you want to get that free download, we'll put the link in the description, but

107
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,040
it's kurtlandry.com forward slash goals 2024.

108
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,800
You want to make sure you get that.

109
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,160
So Rabbi, break down the different variations of blessings for us.

110
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Okay, so let's go with the first one.

111
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:42,800
The first one is blessing of obedience, where if you do this, I call it, for me, I call

112
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280
it cause and effect.

113
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,680
So if you do this, then God does that.

114
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,200
And so, and you people say, well, is that biblical or theologically correct?

115
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,200
And it is.

116
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,920
If you go to Deuteronomy 28, it says, Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey

117
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:08,600
my voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully His commandments, which I have commanded

118
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:15,120
you today, that the Lord God will set you high above all the nations.

119
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,480
And then it goes through 16 verses of, I'll bless you in the city, I'll bless you in the

120
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,520
country, I'll bless, bless, bless.

121
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:29,320
But then if you go into Deuteronomy 28, you get to the verse, actually it was 14 verses,

122
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,520
you get to the 15th verse and it talks about cursing of disobedience.

123
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:41,920
So there's quite, that's a blessing of, if you do this, then I'll do that.

124
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880
So that's a blessing of obedience.

125
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,200
But the second type of blessing, and I don't think people realize is what I call is a

126
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,900
commanded blessing.

127
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:57,560
So what your commanded blessing would be like Psalm 133, where the scripture says how good

128
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,640
and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

129
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Then it goes on, it talks about the unity of down the head and the beard and the garment

130
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,800
of Aaron, but it ends with, and I will command a commanded blessing.

131
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,760
Meaning if you stay in unity, I command a blessing.

132
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,600
And one of the ones that we have done for at House of David for 22 years, just I'll

133
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,960
read this to you, Psalm 122.

134
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,680
And it's one of the reasons that every time we come together on Shabbat at House of David,

135
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:31,680
we've prayed this.

136
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,880
It says, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

137
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,440
May they prosper who love you.

138
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Peace be within their walls, prosperity within their palaces.

139
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,180
For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say peace be within you.

140
00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:50,260
Because of the house of the Lord God, I will seek your good.

141
00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:52,040
So the Lord is not a request.

142
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,280
He's commanding you to speak and pray peace over Jerusalem.

143
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,300
And then you get prosperity comes to you.

144
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:05,400
So that's a commanded blessing, a commanded prayer and a commanded blessing.

145
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880
So this is kind of new in Western culture.

146
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Passover, if you go to Exodus 15, there's actually nine commanded blessings for putting

147
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,240
your feet under the Lord's table.

148
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,680
Nine blessings.

149
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,760
And so that's one of the reasons we do that every year.

150
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,360
So there's blessings of obedience and there's blessings of commanded blessings.

151
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,120
And you can go into Malachi 3, if you bring tithes and offerings, there's commanded blessings

152
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,820
of open heaven, health, rebuke the devour, and favor with the nations.

153
00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:42,720
So blessings aren't luck.

154
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Blessings aren't even favor.

155
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Blessings are something that flows when you do things God's way.

156
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:58,160
I guess what if someone is dealing with a sin, right?

157
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
I mean, it can be whatever.

158
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,960
I think the one that's probably used the most for men would be like pornography or something,

159
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,960
right?

160
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:16,560
Or it could be, you know, gluttony, which is a big problem in this country where people

161
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:17,880
just overeat, right?

162
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720
And like that can become a thing too.

163
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,360
But let's say somebody's been working really hard, right?

164
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,560
They've even downloaded Goals to Grow this year and they're trying to work through this

165
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:32,960
stuff and they're trying to figure it out.

166
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,600
But like Dan Goumet, you know, they just keep sinning, you know?

167
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Like what it says in Scripture, we love to sin.

168
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,480
And we do.

169
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,400
And so where is the different type of blessings you just walk through?

170
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,880
Let's put it into a listener's perspective and be super relational and practical, is

171
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,000
that if someone's dealing with a sin that's just reoccurring, man, and like they're just

172
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,680
struggling with this and they do good for a month or two and then they come back to

173
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,020
it, right?

174
00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:07,920
And they just beat themselves up about it.

175
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,800
But it's that thought because I mean, you know, I've gone through sins to where like

176
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:18,800
I could see the blessings in the season or like, you know, I didn't do that one sin and

177
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400
I felt like I defeated it, right?

178
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:28,640
And then as soon as you mess up, the thought comes to you and super overwhelming that is,

179
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,560
man, you know, I just lost all that favor.

180
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,080
I just lost the blessing, you know?

181
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:40,120
Like am I going to be able, like I just wish I could go back 15 seconds ago and not do

182
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,360
that.

183
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:48,040
What would your advice be for someone that's in that sin to blessing area to where like

184
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:57,720
it's really hard to like forgive themselves or figure out how to pivot over that moment?

185
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,240
You know, Paul says it in Romans, he talks about there's nothing good in man.

186
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,880
So what happens is you have to get to a place where you get into, now this is how I manage

187
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,600
it in my own life.

188
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,640
And I've been blessed because I wasn't raised religious and I'm not legalistic.

189
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,280
And so I'm just going to share the whole purpose of this podcast is personal.

190
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,240
And then I'm going to tell a funny story.

191
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Okay.

192
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Okay.

193
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,240
So first of all, you need to have a repentive lifestyle.

194
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:40,800
You're not going to, you can overcome sins, sexual sins, whatever it may be.

195
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,200
And even if you're overcoming them, when you fail, you need to be able to be quick to repent

196
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,320
and not just apologize to God, but with godly sorrow and then ask the Lord to strengthen

197
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,440
you so the next time that the temptation comes that he'll empower you to do it.

198
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,880
But understand that once you start, and I'm going to use the sexual sin because I got

199
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,240
a really great story for it.

200
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,360
Once you come to the terms with it, you need to know once you overcome it at one level,

201
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,120
he's going to come back and hit you at another level and he's going to hit you at a higher

202
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,600
level because he's going to try to get you back into that bondage.

203
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,840
Okay.

204
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:25,960
But you also need to understand, so I'm going to share with you, when I was in business,

205
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:33,360
in the fruit business, one of my business partners, now listen, we really strive to

206
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,360
be holy.

207
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,780
We prayed five days a week every morning for an hour and a half before we went on the phones

208
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:41,920
to sell fruit.

209
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,320
Okay.

210
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,420
We sowed 35% of the income of our fruit business to Israel.

211
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:50,920
So this isn't like a normal business.

212
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960
I mean, we're godly men.

213
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,960
We're all married.

214
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,880
We have children.

215
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,840
And we're in our late 30s and 40s and we're making a lot of money.

216
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:10,900
And so when you're in that atmosphere in your late 30s, the thing about having finance is

217
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,920
it gives you the freedom to do things that people that don't have finance, they don't

218
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,920
have to battle the temptations of what they're doing with us.

219
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,080
We have enough resources.

220
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600
We can go and do whatever we want.

221
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,160
And so at a young age, and so what happens is you have to learn how to manage your character

222
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:36,400
and your values along with the finances because the finances, you know, it can be an answer,

223
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760
but it can also bring you down if you don't know how to do it.

224
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800
So I'm going to give you a funny story about this.

225
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:49,720
So we go to a, we go, we used to go to marketing produce shows.

226
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,960
And so, so we were at this one and it was Fleming Foods.

227
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,960
So big food distributor.

228
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,080
So there's everything there from produce to fish to meat to everything.

229
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,360
And one of the, one of the greatest things is we had our fruit booth and it was next

230
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,760
to one of my favorite cooking show hosts and it's Justin Williams, William.

231
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,280
So I don't, a lot of people may not know who that is, but he was the Cajun chef from New

232
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Orleans and he was the one that used to say, ah, gone, gee, you know, that guy, you know,

233
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,560
and he was a comedian.

234
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,000
He was a comedian and he's really good.

235
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,400
But the thing is, is that he drinks through the whole show, the whole show he's drinking

236
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,240
and he could tell us why he, I'm just on Wilson and I'm, you know, and he, and so anyway,

237
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,480
so he had the Justin Wilson booth set up next to us and right.

238
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,680
And of course he's drinking in the, in the booth, you know, he's, you know, happy and,

239
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,680
and all this stuff.

240
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,940
And I got to talk to him and, and spend, you know, there are three days.

241
00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:56,320
So anyway, one morning we're there and my business partners are there.

242
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,460
There's three of us and two other guys that are in, in the grocery business like us.

243
00:17:02,460 --> 00:17:05,680
Now you have to understand the grocery business is pretty corrupt.

244
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Okay.

245
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000
That's all I want to say about that.

246
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a worldly corrupt.

247
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,920
A lot of stuff goes on.

248
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,920
Okay.

249
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,360
So to have the Christian guys, we're like the, we're, we're ostracized by all the other

250
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:26,560
guys who are at the convention that are partying and running around and getting friendly with

251
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,560
people that they have to pay for.

252
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,800
So I'll just say it that way.

253
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,800
Okay.

254
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,800
So, so that's tracking.

255
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,800
That's the atmosphere.

256
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,800
Right.

257
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,800
And then you got the Jesus freaks.

258
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,140
It's us.

259
00:17:36,140 --> 00:17:41,420
So the five Jesus freaks are in our booth and we're sitting there and one of my business

260
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:43,680
partners dealing with this issue.

261
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,020
And he says, you know what?

262
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:47,280
He says, I really have had victory all this time.

263
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,480
I'm feeling great.

264
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,880
I'm overcoming the spiritual lusts in the women and I'm good.

265
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,880
And I haven't had a temptation and I'm, and the Lord's really, and he's really kind of

266
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,080
just telling us and encouraging like, Hey, I'm doing great with this thing like this.

267
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,920
So meanwhile, I'm in my back to the booth.

268
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880
He's got his back to the traffic area.

269
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,880
Right.

270
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,200
And he's talking about it.

271
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,040
And I look and off in the distance, here comes the Budweiser girl.

272
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Okay.

273
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,640
Oh, the Lord has a sense of humor.

274
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,640
Okay.

275
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,640
This is a true story too.

276
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:29,800
So here comes the Budweiser girl and basically she's wearing a spandex beer can that is shaped

277
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,800
to her body.

278
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Yeah.

279
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,720
Is this like the eighties, nineties?

280
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,720
What's the reference?

281
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,720
This would be the nineties.

282
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,720
Nineties.

283
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Okay.

284
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,720
This is the nineties.

285
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,720
Okay.

286
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,960
So, and, and she has a lot of artificial intelligence into her body.

287
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Okay.

288
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,960
So we'll call it that way.

289
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Okay.

290
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,240
So, so, so, so her figure that she's wearing, she's had a lot of hamburger helper.

291
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Okay.

292
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,240
This isn't like a norm.

293
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,880
No one has a normal body like this.

294
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,880
Okay.

295
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,880
Okay.

296
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,880
So she's in the spandex.

297
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,000
I'm not trying to drag you guys all down and go, man, look, he's on the podcast.

298
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
He's making me sin.

299
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
No, I'm not.

300
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,760
I'm making my point, but she's, I see her off in the distance and here she's coming.

301
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,400
And of course there's Justin Wilson in the next booth.

302
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,400
And of course he's like, you know, he's, you know, Caesar coming, he wants to visit.

303
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120
And so here she's coming up from behind us and here's my partner talking about how he's

304
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,320
just had this great victory.

305
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,960
And, and so, and I'm telling him, I said, listen, it's great to rejoice in this, but

306
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,580
it's not your perfection.

307
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:32,320
It's your ability to, and I'm the youngest Christian there.

308
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,140
I'm saying it's your ability to repent because what happens is, you know, once you think

309
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,440
you've overcome something, a temptation will come and it's like Paul said, I do the things

310
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,560
I don't want to do.

311
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,280
I said, so you can't take your identity and go down into the ditch because you sin.

312
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:54,400
You just have to repent and sincerely repent to the Lord because temptations will come.

313
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,440
So I'm telling them this.

314
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,440
This is the convert.

315
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,440
You can't make this stuff up.

316
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,740
I'm telling them this.

317
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:04,160
And meanwhile, around the corner going to Justin Wilson, who's very loud, Justin says,

318
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,760
oh, my dear or whatever like that, and here's my business partner.

319
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,480
He turns around after I just gave this thing and there's the Budweiser girl standing there.

320
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,240
And he goes, and he was a funny guy, a great sense of humor.

321
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,640
He turned around and he went with his face and he said, well, my victory's over.

322
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,880
My victory's over.

323
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960
I fell back to sin again.

324
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,440
And that's kind of what I'm sharing.

325
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,440
That's real life.

326
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,120
That's how things go.

327
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,120
So you see what I'm saying?

328
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,160
The point is you have to resist the sin, draw an eye onto God.

329
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,240
But when you fall, don't condemn yourself.

330
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,680
There's no condemnation.

331
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,760
But you do have to repent.

332
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,200
And you need people you can talk to about it.

333
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,200
The word says confess your faults one to another.

334
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,220
And so you need to be careful who you repent to because they don't use it against you.

335
00:20:57,220 --> 00:21:02,680
But my point is, is yes, you sin and you're going to sin, your identity of who you are

336
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,760
in Christ is who you are being covered in the blood of Jesus with the full armor of

337
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,760
God.

338
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,760
I don't know if that helps or not.

339
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Yeah, no, a great story.

340
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:22,640
It brings this thought to mind of how intense and just like the question and different stuff

341
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,200
that we started off this episode that kind of took you out of left field, right?

342
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:37,560
It's so intense and so random of how the enemy attacks and tries to block blessings.

343
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,320
I mean, he's sitting there in the story, right?

344
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,320
So you're telling it.

345
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:48,040
I'm trying to play a movie in my head and try to draw what's happening.

346
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,560
That's just the type of learner I am.

347
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,480
And he's sitting there just doing his thing.

348
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,120
And yeah, he's bragging.

349
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,480
But he's feeling good about himself.

350
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,960
And then the enemy just like that out of nowhere gets him.

351
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,880
And it's such a humbling experience.

352
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,840
And Paul, in that scripture that you're reading, I mean, that's the scripture for men.

353
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,920
I feel like that they go to because of that.

354
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Just walking around nowadays in 2024.

355
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:29,560
It's harder and harder to be a godly man to get away from that lust because it's just

356
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,560
everywhere.

357
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,400
And so is it just not wild though?

358
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Other than that topic, any other sin that when you're at the edge of feeling, hey, I'm

359
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,720
on this, not that you put yourself on that pedestal, but you're feeling good.

360
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:52,120
You are kind of giving yourself a pat on the back and he just comes in and gets you.

361
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:53,120
Okay.

362
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,840
Well, listen, you know this.

363
00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:03,680
I did a spiritual warfare prayer, urgent prayer against Leviathan and against Python the other

364
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,080
night where we had the sound issue thing.

365
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,400
My mic was, who knows what that is.

366
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,880
But anyway, and what I explained is when the enemy attacks, there's two times the enemy

367
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,000
attacks, okay, he attacks you right after you have a victory.

368
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,920
I mean, you have a breakthrough and a victory and that Python spirit is going to come like

369
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,600
a constrictor and try to steal the joy.

370
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,880
I mean, think about it.

371
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:40,520
How many times have you had this where you've had something that was great that happens

372
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,520
to you?

373
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,740
I mean, it's the greatest thing.

374
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:49,360
And you go to one of your family members and you say, oh man, this is the greatest thing.

375
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,360
I mean, you're on top of the world.

376
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:57,440
You had this victory, you're telling the story and then they respond negatively against what

377
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,560
you've said.

378
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520
And it's like all of a sudden, all the gas goes out of the tank.

379
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,120
You're on the side of the road going, man, and why did I share that with them?

380
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,120
I mean, everyone's had that experience.

381
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,620
Well, in the spirit, the same thing happens.

382
00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:15,960
What happens is what I said the other night was when you have victory, you're vulnerable.

383
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:22,160
You see, the thing is when the scripture says that when the thief comes to steal, if you

384
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,640
knew he was going to steal, so what you have to do is prepare your mind after you have

385
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:33,860
a victory to stay humble and know I'm going to shut down the attack for the attack comes.

386
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:37,560
Another time it comes is when you're being promoted.

387
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:44,240
So the biggest attack, I can tell you this in this season, 2024.

388
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:53,680
Those who are willing to fill out their goals to grow, add their dream goals to it, feed

389
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,120
their spirit, man.

390
00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:02,440
And I used to tell people this back during that time when like when we were in business,

391
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,320
I used to say, listen, all of us go into a room with two birds.

392
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,200
You got a crow on one shoulder and a dove on the other.

393
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,880
Feed the dove, starve the crow.

394
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,640
And so what happens is when promotion comes, anytime there's a promotion, and that's

395
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,400
where we are right now, you're at the beginning of this year and God is wanting to promote

396
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,800
people who will be obedient to do what he asked them to do.

397
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,800
That's why I have the goals to grow.

398
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,800
Those people are being attacked.

399
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,540
And one of the things that happens in the attack is old past iniquitous structures.

400
00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:43,800
So whatever it is that you got delivered from or got set free from, all of a sudden, wham,

401
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,160
wham, crazy thoughts and these things start to come back.

402
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:53,760
And it could be, you know, being critical, judgmental, it can be poverty, or like, you

403
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,720
know, it can be sexual, it can be all over the place.

404
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,320
It doesn't make any difference.

405
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,840
But anytime there's a promotion, the enemy always tries to dig up trash on you and bring

406
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:09,080
it into your head to try to make you feel unworthy for the promotion.

407
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:19,240
What's the first level practical step that someone can do after a sin or a series of

408
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080
sins trying to correct that?

409
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,840
What's that base level thing that they can do to create, manifest blessings from the

410
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,840
sin?

411
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,560
Godly sorrow with repentance.

412
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240
And I've got my Bible here, I'm going to try to find it.

413
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,840
But anyway, what David used to pray, you know, and David had the same challenges we just

414
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,680
talked about.

415
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,360
And he said, Lord, I don't have to go find it because I pray it every day.

416
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:53,960
Father God in Yeshua's name, search me and know me for I desire truth in my inward parts.

417
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,420
Lord, wherever this root of this sin is coming from, I repent.

418
00:26:58,420 --> 00:27:03,920
And I ask Lord that in Jesus name, I choose to uproot.

419
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,760
I uproot this inequitous structure and it says right here, you have set our iniquities

420
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,400
before you, our secret sins in the light of your continent.

421
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,320
So Lord, that's Psalm 90 verse eight.

422
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,240
So Lord, I'm bringing my sin and my weakness into the light.

423
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,240
I repent of it.

424
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,400
And Lord, I ask you by your strength to set me free from the snare of the Fowler in Jesus

425
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,400
name.

426
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,160
So that's what I do.

427
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,420
And that's what works.

428
00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:34,520
And we'll be right back.

429
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,940
It's a new year and a new you.

430
00:27:36,940 --> 00:27:44,100

438

00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:11,760

448
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:21,080
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence

449
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:28,000
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac

450
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:35,640
and Jacob, that this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.

451
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:42,200

473
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:24,600
give you more practical steps to try to help you accomplish those goals that you have for

474
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:30,680
your spiritual life, your physical life, just the overall goal setting for this calendar

475
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,680
year.

476
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,920
I think as we turn towards the end of this podcast, I think it's really important to

477
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:45,320
keep perspective on that we feel like we...

478
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840
I mean, it's a fact, we all sin, right?

479
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,400
And we can all get stuck in that.

480
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:59,280
That being repentive quickly, I think is maybe one of the big takeaways that I've taken from

481
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920
this episode with you.

482
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:09,120
Just being able to, when it happens, recognize it quickly and have a game plan.

483
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,960
And so what would your advice game plan, other than what you've just shared a few seconds

484
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,680
ago, what's something even simpler, right?

485
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,680
Maybe is there a passage or something that like something happens, you sin, hey, I recognize

486
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,880
it very quickly.

487
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,980
Where can I go and jump to my Bible to just meditate in and to pray and to try to break

488
00:32:31,980 --> 00:32:33,960
what the enemy has just put on me?

489
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Well, one of the things you might want to do is fast and pray.

490
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:48,160
Usually generational curses and things that have deep roots, generational curses are in

491
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,520
equidist structures that you inherit through your DNA and your family, spiritual and physical

492
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,120
DNA.

493
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:03,120
So when you have those fasting, the scripture says some of those only come out with prayer

494
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,660
and fasting.

495
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:12,640
The other thing that I recommend, and a lot of it has to do with the anointing that's

496
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,720
here at House of David, is water immersion or water baptism.

497
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,360
So I'm going to read this scripture.

498
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:29,520
I think this is probably, so for me, I don't miss an immersion service at House of David,

499
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,640
and one of the reasons I don't, let's listen to this scripture in 2nd Colossians chapter

500
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,200
2 verse 11.

501
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:44,000
It says, and in him you are the circumcision with the circumcision made without hands by

502
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,720
the putting off of the body of sin.

503
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,720
So that's the key.

504
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,560
What we're talking about is when we're battling sin, we want to put it off so it doesn't torment

505
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,560
us.

506
00:33:52,560 --> 00:34:00,320
Say, putting off the body of sin of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, buried with

507
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:09,640
him in baptism and water immersion, in which you also were raised with him through the

508
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:17,260
faith of the working of God who raised him from the dead, and you being dead in trespasses.

509
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:21,480
That's the thing is the continual sin keeps killing the blessing.

510
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400
That's what you're asking me, like, how do we maintain blessing?

511
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,200
You know, you can get the blessing of the fish, but if you take it home, put it in the

512
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,880
wrong tank, the fish is going to die.

513
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:40,520
So it goes on to say that, and you being dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your

514
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:47,600
flesh having been made alive together with him, having been forgiven, so that's the key,

515
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,080
being forgiven of your trespasses.

516
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,960
Verse 14, having wiped out the handwriting or the requirements that are against us, which

517
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:05,080
is contrary to us, and he has taken out of the way, having nailed it to the cross, having,

518
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:12,120
here's the key, water baptism, having disarmed the principalities and the power, and he says

519
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,200
he made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them in that.

520
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,160
That's the reason we have an immersion pool at House of David, is because it's not double

521
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,960
baptism or, you baptize once into salvation, but the power of water immersion, what it

522
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,840
does is it buries iniquitous structures.

523
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:38,480
So to answer your question simply is, I would have a lifestyle of fasting and I would have

524
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,640
a lifestyle of immersion to keep you, I know that's me, I've been in the immersion, well,

525
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,120
I don't know how many times, but we've had literally tens of thousands of people here.

526
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:55,800
But the reason that that's part of the lifestyle is there has to be a understanding that there's

527
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,840
some times where you have to be transparent, the scripture says, confess your faults one

528
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:00,840
to another.

529
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,300
It's also important to confess your faults to God.

530
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:09,520
Even though God sees them, I say, Lord, I failed, I've sinned, and Lord, I bring my sin before

531
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:15,280
you, and Lord, I ask you to bury it in this water, I ask you to cut it off in this fasting,

532
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:25,640
I ask you to remove it from me as I repent and my repentance.

533
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,560
One of the things, there's two keys to revival.

534
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,560
People always want revival.

535
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,720
Pastors come to me and say, revival.

536
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,560
I want revival in my church.

537
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,560
Okay?

538
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,220
If you want revival in your church, align your church with the Word of God, teach your people

539
00:36:40,220 --> 00:36:43,600
to repent, and immerse them into the revival.

540
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,760
That's the steps.

541
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:53,000
So, but the key is, most people in the West particularly take repentance as shame and

542
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000
guilt.

543
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,280
Paul said there is no condemnation.

544
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,360
Everybody sins.

545
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,300
Everybody sins except Jesus.

546
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:02,760
So what happens is we have to have a lifestyle of repentance.

547
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:12,040
So fasting, water immersion, those are two things that highlight where a person, me,

548
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:17,680
what I do is I say, Lord, I'm fasting, I confess, I can't battle this evil on my own.

549
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,680
I need your help.

550
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,600
I'm fasting, trusting you.

551
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:21,840
The other one, water immersion.

552
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,800
I'm going to be obedient to go into the water.

553
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,160
I don't care what anybody else sees.

554
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,520
It's a public immersion, but I need your help.

555
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,240
I'm a sinner, and I need to bury this stuff.

556
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,600
You nailed it to the cross.

557
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,840
I need you to disarm the principalities and powers in this public spectacle in this water

558
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,120
so I can triumph over them.

559
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,120
That's why I do it.

560
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,880
That's, I'm giving you the formula in which I live by.

561
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Do I sin again?

562
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,080
Yes.

563
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,780
But I can tell you one thing about me.

564
00:37:50,780 --> 00:37:59,160
I am a holy man in the sense that I try to stay away from the things that trigger my

565
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,320
sin.

566
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,800
I just stay away from it.

567
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:08,160
And so one of the things in the Goals to Grow By, you know, one of the questions is, let

568
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:15,120
me read it to you because it's so important.

569
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:23,760
What says, what do I need to shift my mind away from so that I'm seeking His kingdom

570
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,760
first?

571
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,880
So I have a personal list.

572
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,200
It's not written down here.

573
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:36,320
I stay away from certain things that I know that trigger me into a sin.

574
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,880
So I'm going to use an example like anger.

575
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,120
I'll be personal about this one.

576
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,760
I have tried, listen, I was raised in a house with sports.

577
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:55,560
I mean my house, TV tray, sports, why were those sports?

578
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,200
Football, baseball, we're in Los Angeles, went to the Rams, Angels, Dodgers, all that.

579
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,200
Okay.

580
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,480
We are, my family are sports fanatics.

581
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,760
That's how I was raised.

582
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:15,200
But what happened is I got upset with it when in the NFL, when they started changing this,

583
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,680
just me, I don't care what people think.

584
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,360
Listen, sports is an escape.

585
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,360
It's entertainment.

586
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,360
Okay.

587
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,560
That's what it's for.

588
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,680
And you need that in your life.

589
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,320
But when they started doing the kneeling thing, you got to realize I'm a patriot.

590
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,620
You know, I'm as Yankee doodle as they get.

591
00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:36,880
When they started doing the kneeling thing, I said, that's it for me.

592
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,640
I'm not, I'm not.

593
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,880
So why should I care if they kneel?

594
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:47,680
But I had to quit watching the football because the kneeling was bringing a spirit of anger

595
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,160
to which I got delivered from.

596
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,800
And I didn't want to have to go back into it.

597
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,440
So I just quit watching it.

598
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,400
And I hated it because I used to like Sunday.

599
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,920
All right, we'll, you know, fix some hot dogs.

600
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,920
That was my thing.

601
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,000
Hot dogs and beans, some Fritos.

602
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
And man, we're going to watch the game.

603
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Okay.

604
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,080
And we'd have friends come over.

605
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,080
I quit doing it.

606
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,440
I just said, listen, I can't do it because of that.

607
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,720
So now we got past the kneeling.

608
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,440
I start watching the NFL again.

609
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,020
This is recent this year.

610
00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:16,120
And I just started watching again.

611
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,080
And for me personally, because I'm a person of justice.

612
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,080
Okay.

613
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,200
Justice is a big thing.

614
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,660
All this stuff with these referees, with these bad calls affecting the games.

615
00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:26,660
That's it.

616
00:40:26,660 --> 00:40:27,660
I'm not watching anymore.

617
00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:28,660
What?

618
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:29,840
It makes me mad.

619
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,840
It makes me mad.

620
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,840
Okay.

621
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,840
These calls.

622
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,720
I mean, when Christie and I met, we worked at Harris casino.

623
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,040
I know how this stuff works.

624
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Okay.

625
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,040
So, I mean, I come out of the casino.

626
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,320
I was in a casino for three years.

627
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,480
I understand gambling and the stuff.

628
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,760
I mean, at a deep level.

629
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:51,200
So I'm just saying that I had to quit watching it because once I saw the call, a couple of

630
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,560
these calls, and I'm thinking, just let them play, you know?

631
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:02,040
And when games were being determined, key games because of bad calls, it made me mad

632
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,040
again.

633
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,040
So I'm just giving you an example.

634
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,200
I'm not watching because of that.

635
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,840
So I don't watch enough football anymore.

636
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,200
I'm done with it.

637
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,400
But that's because of me.

638
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,720
Some people wouldn't get mad over it, but it really frustrates me.

639
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,960
So listen, I'm want, what's my purpose of watching football?

640
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,100
Entertainment, relaxation.

641
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,240
When those things happen, it wasn't entertained.

642
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,520
So I'm just using that.

643
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,840
You can go through many, many different things.

644
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,080
I don't have patience with things with long lines.

645
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,080
Okay?

646
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,520
So what happens is when I travel, I have to have TSA, right?

647
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,720
I just like I do the TSA so I can go through the line pretty quick.

648
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:40,920
It's a planned thing.

649
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,960
There's other stuff I do when I travel because I know that it frustrates me.

650
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,960
So what happens is, what am I telling you?

651
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,760
I'm telling you make adjustments in your life to keep you away from the areas that trigger

652
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,480
you to sin.

653
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,240
Does that make sense or am I like just a cranky old man?

654
00:41:58,240 --> 00:41:59,240
No, no.

655
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:07,480
Now, like the refs thing, I get it because I get the origin of this leads to that.

656
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:16,480
I heard a person put it one way that when you sin, that you can't ever really break

657
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,480
it.

658
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:24,200
I mean, good chances are that you'll probably do that sin again if it's like a lower, mid,

659
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:30,360
it's not like you did something you couldn't take back.

660
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:37,200
But he put it this way that you have to be able to find something to replace the sin.

661
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,200
Absolutely.

662
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Right?

663
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,040
And so I guess my question is, so if it's not NFL football on Sunday for you because

664
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:53,280
it just gets you upset, what did you replace with that time because you did enjoy getting

665
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,360
hot dogs and doing that stuff with the family, what did you replace in order to get past

666
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,640
that?

667
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,880
Good movies.

668
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,520
So like Sunday are just good movie days?

669
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,520
Yeah.

670
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,040
Most of the time in the winter, not in the summer.

671
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,840
In the summer, obviously, in the summer we're in the pool, but no, it just, yeah, replaced

672
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:14,840
it with movies.

673
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:15,840
Yeah.

674
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,960
Is that a pretty good practice to think of it like a smoker would chew gum instead to

675
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,240
find something that's going to pivot, replace the-

676
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:26,240
Absolutely.

677
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:30,080
And the guy that doesn't like to stand in line gets the TSA or buys the different ways

678
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,160
to enter in.

679
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,760
There's ways you could upgrade the way you travel.

680
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,160
And so I just do that.

681
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,640
And it's because, listen, like when we flew to Israel this last time, I literally got

682
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:49,040
off the plane, had my first meeting with the CEO of the foreign ministry.

683
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,760
I was off the plane five minutes and I'm meeting.

684
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,100
That's my first meeting.

685
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:57,040
So I can't be like going into the meeting all haggard and-

686
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,040
I get it.

687
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,040
It was-

688
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,040
It's an important meeting.

689
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,520
I mean, I've had 15 minutes with one of the most important people in Israel.

690
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,640
He's third in command of all of Israel and I'm meeting with him and it's like, I need

691
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,540
to be at the top of my game.

692
00:44:11,540 --> 00:44:15,280
And he's the one we partnered with, with the Kenya outreach and all that.

693
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,480
And listen, he's a super nice guy and he loves Christie and I, and I love him and I don't

694
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,360
want him getting the leftovers.

695
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,520
So what I did is I made arrangements so that when I got off the plane that I didn't have

696
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,360
to go through the customs and the line and the stuff.

697
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,720
We just went in, I went into a VIP lounge, let somebody else take my passport, get my

698
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,720
bags so that I could meet with this guy.

699
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:45,360
So what happened in that is literally the relationship between Kenya, this minister,

700
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,080
us, Curt Landry Ministries, fulfilling what Netanyahu asked me to do.

701
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,680
All that got done and it wouldn't have got done if I would have just gone the other way.

702
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,300
You see what I'm saying?

703
00:44:56,300 --> 00:45:01,800
So it's like, you just have to, I don't know, there's always what, the way you said, I like

704
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,440
that a replacement.

705
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:09,280
So my replacement was, is I had a VIP pickup, met with him at actually the meeting actually

706
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,760
went half an hour.

707
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,640
But the point is that was the only time I could meet with him.

708
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:22,760
That was the, and what got done is the ambassador in Kenya that we work with actually represents

709
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:28,000
five countries in Africa battling antisemitism.

710
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,120
So I mean, how important is like this, this is like serious stuff, but I can tell you

711
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,480
if I wouldn't have learned how to maintain, because I know my weakness.

712
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,320
The other thing is I just came off what, an 18 hour flight, you know?

713
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,440
So I had to go into the bathroom and I had to shave.

714
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,600
I had to change shirts, you know, wet my hair, do the whole thing.

715
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,080
I have to be fresh for this guy.

716
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,800
It's like, I just, and that's what we did.

717
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:51,800
Chris did the same thing.

718
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,120
Listen, we're used to this.

719
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,600
We've done this.

720
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,360
When we hit, we hit the ground running.

721
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:02,720
But the point is, is that I can't do it with anger and be standing in a giant line.

722
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:03,720
You see what I'm saying?

723
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:08,120
It's like, I know that I'm just using it as an example that I'm not patient in those

724
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,120
lines.

725
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,320
So I'd stay away from them.

726
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:17,360
Oh, well, Rabbi, this episode's been good.

727
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,280
Hopefully people have been able to get some different perspective, you know, from the

728
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,840
topic of how to manifest blessings, but also deal with sin.

729
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:33,320
I wasn't really intentionally pushing the conversation that way, but I really feel like

730
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,680
there's going to be a lot of value that people listen to that because it's so practical.

731
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,520
It's so relational.

732
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,880
And everyone deals with it.

733
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:47,040
I think it's just part of understanding, you know, the different types of blessings and

734
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,600
what everybody goes through in order to be in that favor.

735
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,920
So we did a podcast the other day and I talked about like golden seeds, like there's a hundred

736
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,080
golden seeds.

737
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,080
So and I use the anger.

738
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,240
It doesn't make any difference, whatever it is.

739
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:01,880
Listen, everybody sins.

740
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,680
What I do in my mind is I kind of like visualize the hundred seeds, knowing that if I'm going

741
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:14,640
to lust, anger or whatever, taking offense, not repent, go into unforgiveness, that basically

742
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,440
if I just kind of visualize this way, Satan's hand comes and goes, all right, I'm taking

743
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,840
25 seeds from Kurt.

744
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,120
Oh, there he goes again.

745
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,120
There's 50.

746
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,760
Listen, I need a hundred and more seeds to do.

747
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,320
So what happens is I make a choice and I literally say in my own head, you know what, I can't

748
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,600
afford this.

749
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,880
And you know, like one of the things like we always joke about, it's not so much a

750
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,880
big deal anymore.

751
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,680
We've gotten over it, but I used to get really angry at the airport.

752
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,760
Like when they would, when they start messing around with it, you know, they canceled the

753
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,760
flight.

754
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:46,760
They do this.

755
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,000
They do what, whatever, you know, like, like they close the door, the plane's still there.

756
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,800
You know, you're flying business class and they won't let you get on the plane and you're

757
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,800
going, wait a minute.

758
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:58,800
Yeah.

759
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,540
Well, no, we've shut the door and, and, and, and they're still there.

760
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:02,540
They can open the door.

761
00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:05,120
You go in, turn left and oh no, all that crazy.

762
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,920
No, you're going to have to wait till you know, whatever.

763
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,800
And so I'll give you an example.

764
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:18,440
My spirit, which I call the spirit of murder, because literally, listen, I was raised in

765
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Los Angeles in the fifties and the sixties.

766
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,480
And I came from a angry, violent community.

767
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,720
Okay.

768
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:33,380
And so I had to be delivered from all that.

769
00:48:33,380 --> 00:48:40,640
But I really don't like people disrespecting, dishonoring, like over, like the power because

770
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,880
the person's at the counter and it's like, I am going to exercise my power over you.

771
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,040
And I have no compassion to try of what's going to happen on the other side that when

772
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,760
you miss this flight.

773
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,760
Okay.

774
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,040
So the way I dealt with this was I don't travel alone.

775
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,320
Always travel with Christie.

776
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,960
Christie is the most merciful, long suffering, peaceful.

777
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,160
Very nice.

778
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,680
I go and sit down over there.

779
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,040
Lord, I repent because I want to kill them.

780
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,040
I repent.

781
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,960
I close my eyes, Lord, I'm praying for her.

782
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,960
She can do it.

783
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,280
Lord, please forgive me.

784
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,360
Don't let my sin of wanting to kill the entire Delta airlines, you know, right now.

785
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,760
I mean, I'm just like, Lord, I know me.

786
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,760
I know how I am.

787
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,120
I know where I come from.

788
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,120
So I repent.

789
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,700
But what I do is I let her intercede.

790
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:33,880
She goes up and almost every time they get with her, it's like, oh, yes, Mrs. Landry.

791
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,880
Oh, come on.

792
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,360
And then she's over here like going, come on, baby.

793
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:37,880
And I'm like, all right, here we go.

794
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,080
But if it was me, it was like, it's not going to happen.

795
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,320
And so not so much anymore.

796
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,880
Actually, she'll tell you, she says, I actually do good right now.

797
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,880
I'm kind of past it.

798
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,880
I guess I got old enough.

799
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,560
I'm doesn't bother me as much.

800
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:56,160
But my point is you have to make plans to say, I can't afford to get angry, particularly

801
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,080
now for me at an airport.

802
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:03,760
When I'm in an airport, I'm a public enough figure that people see me and I can't be acting

803
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:04,760
stupid.

804
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,040
So Christi goes up, that's our plan.

805
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400
She takes care of it.

806
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:15,200
And so that I don't commit the sin of anger, so to say, and all the hundred seeds of blessing,

807
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,840
Satan doesn't come and say, oh, Kurt blew it again at the counter.

808
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,320
Here's 50 seeds gone for you.

809
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,800
Christi go up and then the Lord says, oh, she's so good at it.

810
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,000
Let's add 150 seeds.

811
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,440
But that's pretty much my advice with find out what Christi and I do.

812
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,640
I know my strengths.

813
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:31,760
She knows her strengths.

814
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,760
My weaknesses.

815
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,880
We're very real.

816
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,460
And like she says, we make one good Christian together.

817
00:50:38,460 --> 00:50:45,040
My weaknesses, I do what she and literally we're at a space right now.

818
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,520
We can't travel separate.

819
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:48,520
We have to be together.

820
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,800
Well, first of all, we want to be together.

821
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,120
We're a team.

822
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:57,540
But the thing is, is that we know she knows that I take care of like there's details I

823
00:50:57,540 --> 00:51:02,160
handle that don't bother me like with parking the car, getting the thing over at fine parking.

824
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,720
I mean, we travel enough.

825
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:05,280
Everybody knows us in the airport.

826
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,000
So everything we do, everything we get, everything.

827
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,400
And they're so happy and they're very kind to us.

828
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,440
I'm not talking about Tulsa Airport.

829
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:17,520
But when you're okay, when you're outside of that, like let's say you're, you know,

830
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,840
in I won't mention names.

831
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,600
But anyway, there's other countries that aren't so great when you come up.

832
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,960
But that's why I just as soon as as soon as I start seeing it going sideways, I literally

833
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,540
just step back two or three steps, turn my face, don't make eye contact.

834
00:51:32,540 --> 00:51:37,240
And then she goes, well, sweetheart, this is what we need to do.

835
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:38,240
And they do it.

836
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:41,120
It's like she's like, it's like she's an angel.

837
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040
She goes up and then I sit back and I say, Lord, thank you.

838
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,040
Thank you.

839
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,040
Thank you, Lord.

840
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,520
I had the thought, but I didn't engage it with my mouth.

841
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,680
I don't know if that helps anybody.

842
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,080
No, I think that's great.

843
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:58,360
Yeah, I mean, like everybody needs to to to figure that out.

844
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,760
And it's great if you have someone, if you're married, that you can lean on someone like

845
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:04,760
that.

846
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,640
And if you're not, that's that's that's also very different.

847
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,600
But you can take a lot of the things that we've talked about in this episode to try

848
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:17,700
to help create those barriers and those pivot moments and have a game plan and have a strategy

849
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:24,620
on how to handle this type of thing and how to manifest blessings.

850
00:52:24,620 --> 00:52:25,920
And don't lose them.

851
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,000
And don't lose them.

852
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,700
That's the key is you don't want to lose your blessing.

853
00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:35,800
And if you can mentally take anything from this podcast is imagine the Lord giving you

854
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,460
something and then you sin and it's taken away.

855
00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:43,040
So like when you choose, like you're going to go in to do something to think, you know

856
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:49,360
what, I I've worked so hard to get this blessing, I'm not going to let the enemy steal it.

857
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:55,360
If you can get that mental thing is like what I say in my head, I say I can't afford this.

858
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,320
And I listen, I take I have fun with myself.

859
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,320
I say, you know what?

860
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,820
You're so good at getting angry.

861
00:53:01,820 --> 00:53:03,320
You're good at you perfected it.

862
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,600
Listen, you're like third generation angry.

863
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:06,600
My dad got angry.

864
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:07,600
Good.

865
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,520
My god, you know, and you know, my biological because I got reconnected.

866
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,320
It's like, listen, we are good at it.

867
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,880
We are good at being frustrated, angry and saying stupid stuff to people when we're angry.

868
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:19,880
We're good.

869
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,160
I would and actually feels good for about five seconds when you're actually doing it.

870
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:29,160
You're like, man, I get to let I get to let the steam out of the teapot.

871
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:34,120
You know, but all it does if you close with this, if you think of a teapot, what is it

872
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,620
does when it boils, it whistles.

873
00:53:36,620 --> 00:53:40,080
And as soon as that whistle goes off, the enemy hears the whistle like a dog and he

874
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,200
comes and steals your blessing.

875
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:43,920
So guess what?

876
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:51,840
Repent, go to your stove, turn off the heat and let the teapot settle.

877
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,600
Don't let it whistle because once it whistles, the enemies come in with all he's got to steal

878
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,600
your blessings.

879
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,600
It's so good.

880
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,520
Well we hope this episode has helped you.

881
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,600

882
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:13,040
Make us buy stars, hopefully it's five stars and leave a comment on the show.

883
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,280
It's just going to help it get pushed through algorithms and give us credibility in just

884
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:19,280
the open market.

885
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:24,440
But you know, we really hope that you enjoyed it and that it will help you again if you
