00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.200
You don't have to be perfect to run with God.

00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:06.059
You have to have a heart. Not a good heart. You

00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:08.779
just have to have a willing heart. Yeah. A heart

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:12.800
that's willing to let God work on it. Amen. That's

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:25.300
it. Yep. Not perfect. Just willing. God promises

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:29.120
in Joel 2 .28 to pour out His Spirit. on all

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.399

to him. He's been used of God in so many ways

00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:08.039

into this ministry. So plan to be there. So Olivia,

00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:28.340
we're so glad that we have you with us again

00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:31.199
today. This is just a real blessing that you've

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.560
come to spend a few days with us at Angletall.

00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.580
I'm blessed and thankful to be here. Thank you

00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:39.819
for having me. Okay. So the last time that you

00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:42.659
were here, we had a wonderful discussion about

00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:45.900
how the Lord really delivered you in a great

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:48.039
way from rejection. You had been through some

00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.639
awful, awful things in your life, and we'll put

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.759
a link to that so we don't have to retell the

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.500
story today. But we did talk about how the Lord

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:59.599
really transformed your life at the Brownsville

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.099
Assembly in Pensacola. a number of years ago.

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.120
I guess it's quite a few years ago now, and how

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.719
you went to the school there, and then you went

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.219
on to be trained elsewhere. And I just want you

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:14.599
to talk a little bit about what the glory of

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.100
God has done in your life. That was a real outpouring

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:21.420
of the Holy Spirit in that church, and so many

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.959
thousands of lives were changed, and you were

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.740
one of them. Tell us what God did. You know,

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.279
at the time, I really wanted God. And I wanted

00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.720
him to make himself real to me. And so I was

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.740
so hungry. During that time, I'm still hungry.

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.439
I think it just blew me up. No matter what, I'm

00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.720
hungry for years now. Never lose it. Never lose

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.519
it. So I was married to a man that was, you know,

00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.980
into drugs and dealt drugs. And I'd still smoked

00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:55.540
weed at the time. I didn't see anything wrong

00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:58.000
with it. I didn't see anything wrong with being

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.699
who I was. And I was a Christian. I loved the

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:03.589
Lord even then. Until the Holy Ghost dealt with

00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:06.850
you otherwise. Yes. You know, God has a way.

00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:09.790
Yes, he does. He knows what he's doing. And I

00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:12.589
always question God, how come I'm not experiencing

00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:16.550
the change that I see other people experiencing?

00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:20.509
Because no matter how hard I tried to be free

00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:24.230
or to be right in life, I always like a dog to

00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:27.310
his vomit, right? You go right back to your old

00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:30.930
ways, your old paths. You forget, you know, how

00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:33.089
good God is. And you just kind of go back and

00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:36.800
forth like a ping pong ball. And so I learned

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.839
in time, you know, that we all have this compass,

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.240
this thing where you have to find balance. So

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.500
I went to Brownsville Revival and I was just

00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:53.819
wanting God. And I was sitting in the audience

00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:57.060
and Steve Hill started talking about the Father's

00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:00.079
love. And we all know that's where my rejection

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.560
came from. That's where the, you know, that's

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:07.800
where I needed. the most. So when I heard the

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.839
father's love, I was just like, wow, who is this

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.639
father? Like I knew God, but I didn't know God.

00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:16.860
I knew I didn't know God if he was a father.

00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:21.680
So I ran up at the altar and I just threw my

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.079
face up there and was like, I surrender. I want

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.480
to know this good father. And Steve Hill. put

00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.879
his hands on me and I just went out in the glory.

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.779
And of course it wasn't no, I didn't give him

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:38.100
no courtesy fall for sure. I fell. And my little

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:41.379
baby was two years old at the time, Sarah. And

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:45.600
she sat on top of me while God just, it was like

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.420
fire from the top of my head to the bottom of

00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:51.399
my feet. And it just resonated up and down, up

00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.240
and down. And I felt that love, that genuine

00:06:57.310 --> 00:07:02.550
I love you. I accept you. You can change. I've

00:07:02.550 --> 00:07:05.970
got you, baby. You're mine. You know, it was

00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:09.389
just another transforming. You know, it was that

00:07:09.389 --> 00:07:12.250
beginning of my transformation. It was the very

00:07:12.250 --> 00:07:15.230
beginning. Right. And I remember just laying

00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:18.839
there and crying and realizing that. No matter

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.540
what I've done in life, God accepted me. Yes.

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:25.980
And he received me. Yes. And from that day on,

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:28.579
I think Charity was the young lady's name that

00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:31.699
sung that song. Come running. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:35.839
Come running. Yeah. Come running to the mercy

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.939
seat. Yes. And when I heard that, it was like

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:45.069
I realized I have empowerment now. There was

00:07:45.069 --> 00:07:48.649
a change in me that I realized now I know the

00:07:48.649 --> 00:07:51.569
Father. Yes. I know that I know that I know.

00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:54.870
Yes. That I belong to the Father. Yes. And so

00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:58.310
from that day forward, I learned how to fall

00:07:58.310 --> 00:08:02.029
and get back up. Yes. I learned how to fall.

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:05.160
And get back up. And I was just this little baby

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.980
toddler trying to run in the spirit. And I was

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:11.259
falling and getting back up and falling and getting

00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:14.339
back up. And I became so hungry that I wanted

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:19.019
everybody to know this loving father that I've

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:22.699
just met. So after that, I went and got my son.

00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.600
He was two months old during that time. And I

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.079
went back to my house and I walked in. And of

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.480
course, I'm smoking a joint. not thinking nothing

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.259
about it. I'm like, hey, smoking my joint, you

00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:39.159
know, talking to everybody. And I tell them,

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.840
I want you to meet a man. And his name is Jesus.

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.480
He is the best thing ever. And man, by then everybody

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.559
was ruined. They were so upset with me. And I

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.899
didn't save not one person that night. And man,

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.960
it was a disappointment because I had so experienced.

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.440
Did they lose their high? They did. I ruined

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.639
it. I ruined it. And here I was excited, you

00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.940
know, and smoking right along. I wasn't doing

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:11.120
anything different than them. I was just excited

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.039
about who I met. Just a change of heart. You

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.899
know, the Toronto move, which happened, was just

00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:19.879
previous to that. You know, that was known as

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.320
the Father's heart. Yeah. John Arnott, the Father's

00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.179
heart. That's what God was pouring out at that

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:29.100
time. And we still need that. And we have so

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:32.620
many fatherless nowadays. Yes. And nobody really

00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:36.309
knows what a good... father is. Nobody knows

00:09:36.309 --> 00:09:39.149
what it is to be corrected by a good father,

00:09:39.289 --> 00:09:42.409
to be accepted by a good father, to be corrected

00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:45.750
and accepted by a father. A father doesn't have

00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:49.269
to hate you to correct you. A father can love

00:09:49.269 --> 00:09:50.990
you and correct you too. That's the way it should

00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:54.950
be. Exactly. And I don't think people know a

00:09:54.950 --> 00:09:58.009
true father. And it was almost like God says,

00:09:58.070 --> 00:10:01.399
when your mother and father forsake you, I will

00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.500
raise you up. I'll take you in, Olivia. You belong

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:07.659
to me. And man, when I got that revelation, it

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:10.059
was just like, oh, now I have a good daddy. He

00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:13.039
can teach me things. He can bring me into a place.

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:15.179
And I had a good father. I'm not telling you

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:18.220
that my daddy was a bad daddy. My real dad worked

00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:22.100
hard and he was a car salesman. And I never want

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:24.559
to dishonor him or disrespect him in any way.

00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:28.639
I just think he didn't know. Sometimes we just

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.690
don't know because We're caught up in our own

00:10:31.690 --> 00:10:34.009
world. We don't know. Yeah. And what did Jesus

00:10:34.009 --> 00:10:36.570
say from the cross? Father, forgive them. They

00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:38.950
don't even know what they're doing. They don't

00:10:38.950 --> 00:10:42.110
even know. And so it's not anything against my

00:10:42.110 --> 00:10:44.429
father. I want to make sure that I don't dishonor

00:10:44.429 --> 00:10:47.690
my own father because he did the best he knew

00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:50.269
how to do. And even God has dealt with me in

00:10:50.269 --> 00:10:53.250
those areas where you have to remember people

00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:58.149
are raised themselves. And that's all they know.

00:10:58.389 --> 00:11:01.039
Right. And if it's your father or your mother,

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:04.639
God didn't say they had to be right for you to

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.639
honor them. That's true. And it's the only covenant

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:12.059
in the Bible with promise. It's true. So it's

00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:14.519
so important that we really honor our parents,

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.019
regardless of how good or how bad they raised

00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:20.220
us. So I just, I really want to clarify that.

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.860
I don't want to drag my family through the mud

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:27.059
or make them feel like. They didn't do anything

00:11:27.059 --> 00:11:29.799
right. That's not how I'm putting this at all.

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.679
I just want to make that clear. I'm glad. That's

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.860
good. So how did the Lord deal with you to put

00:11:35.860 --> 00:11:41.259
away the pot? How did he do that? Yeah, how long

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:43.960
did it take? Yeah, you know, the next day I got

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.539
in a fight with my husband the next day, and

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:49.740
he was like, where is she? I want my old wife

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:52.759
back. Bring back Olivia. I'm like, well, you

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.039
didn't even love that, Olivia. You know, what

00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.320
are you trying to say? And I looked at him and

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:04.000
I said, I can't change. This is permanent. Wow.

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.679
I don't even know what happened. But Olivia's

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:12.120
not the same Olivia. Something grew. Wow. And

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.179
I knew it. And I couldn't go back. Yeah. And

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:17.679
something escalated. We ended up getting a big

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.980
fight and all that good stuff. It ended up, you

00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:23.879
know, I couldn't take it anymore. I tried to

00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.320
stay married. I actually stayed married for two

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.740
more years after that incident. We separated.

00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:34.169
I went back and forth with it for a long time.

00:12:34.250 --> 00:12:37.289
I'd go and get counsel from pastors and ask them

00:12:37.289 --> 00:12:39.909
what they thought and ask them to pray. And I

00:12:39.909 --> 00:12:42.850
stood in the gap for him. I really stood for

00:12:42.850 --> 00:12:45.690
him to be saved, that we could get along because

00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:48.009
what good is light and darkness together, right?

00:12:48.149 --> 00:12:50.730
You can't abide with someone that's going to

00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:54.149
beat you up and attack you and have so much darkness

00:12:54.149 --> 00:12:56.710
in them and not willing to run after God with

00:12:56.710 --> 00:13:00.750
you. So I still had to protect myself, you know,

00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:03.340
and that was hard. hard that was my first separation

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:07.019
that i understood that god was separating it

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:11.120
and even though it was divorce i could not change

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.799
yeah the scenario the situation i mean he broke

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.000
my nose and black my i mean i had i had physical

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.820
things happening to where i had to protect my

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:25.100
children i had to protect you know things happened

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:28.259
so i mean in those scenarios you have to separate

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:31.559
from it yeah i can't stand it when Religious

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.980
people tell you to stay with someone that's trying

00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:37.419
to kill you. Right, right. That doesn't make

00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:41.019
sense. No, it doesn't. Yeah, they weren't in

00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:44.840
your shoes. No. So then how did the Holy Spirit

00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.899
deal with you about the pot? I want to know this

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.419
story. So what happened was the Lord told me,

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.059
he said, I want you to throw it down the toilet,

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.919
pour it out in the toilet. And I said, God, what

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.259
are you saying? And I've seen people smoke and

00:13:58.259 --> 00:14:01.980
be saved. Oh, sure. Some people smoke, you know,

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:04.620
and whatever. And I thought, well, you know,

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:07.519
my spiritual mother smoked when I met her. I

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.159
had a spiritual mother who smoked. The glory

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.080
of God hit her before and this and the other.

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.919
She went back to smoking. But I know we can get

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.580
religious and think that those things don't happen,

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:21.460
but they do. I loved her and she taught me a

00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:24.200
lot in the Lord. But when God told me to lay

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.399
down the pot, it was like that was my security.

00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:30.759
That was the hard part because I found a lot

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.360
of security in smoking weed because it took me

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.679
out of the world. It took me out. I didn't have

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.879
to think. It was affecting you and making it

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.320
not hurt so much. You were really self -medicating.

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:46.559
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Drinking and all.

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.720
I did it all. So, I mean, it wasn't just smoking

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.879
weed. But at the time I had chilled out on other.

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:54.679
My life was hard. You know that from the last

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.679
episode. But, you know, that was my chill out

00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.379
area was pot's not that bad. It's grown. Right.

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.360
You know, those are your thoughts. And so. But

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.500
the Holy Spirit didn't didn't do that right away.

00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:11.950
No, it took four months. It was about four months

00:15:11.950 --> 00:15:14.649
after the fact. The Lord said, are you going

00:15:14.649 --> 00:15:18.269
to lay that down? And I said, okay, I'm going

00:15:18.269 --> 00:15:22.169
to lay it down. So I poured the pot out, you

00:15:22.169 --> 00:15:27.450
know, and I've never went back. I've never had

00:15:27.450 --> 00:15:33.649
a desire for it again. But I'm glad that I continued

00:15:33.649 --> 00:15:38.360
to run after God. Because I think people... Don't

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.759
understand how important it is to continue to

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.960
run into the arms of Jesus. Right. Because, yeah,

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.059
that was the first step pouring down the toilet.

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:51.740
But the next step is never going back. Yes. You

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:54.360
got to leave the past in the past. Burn the bridges.

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.320
And move forward. Yeah. And that is the hardest

00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.419
thing in the world when you're experiencing transformation.

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:03.320
Right. Because you don't understand why these

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.159
people are rejecting you now. You don't. Yeah.

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.259
Like it happened like a suddenly. Now my husband

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:12.519
at the time. Did not want me around. He couldn't

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.340
stand me. And I was having a lot of conflict

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:17.620
there. Couldn't stay with my mom. I mean, I had

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:20.919
to separate from my family and could not even

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.299
live in my dad's houses because I felt attacked

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:26.500
a lot. And so at some point I had to completely

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:30.399
separate in Pensacola where I'm from, where my

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.259
family was. And I could still only. handle so

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:36.980
much with them because they did not understand

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:40.220
me and I didn't understand me to some degree

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:43.460
I mean how do you understand this suddenly you

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:47.200
know and God is a God of suddenlies yes so I'm

00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.700
just not even the same Olivia I'm having I'm

00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:52.720
learning new things you know gone through rejection

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.919
and God started me I started street preaching

00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.360
yeah how far along in your in your walk did you

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.710
start street preaching Probably two years. Okay.

00:17:03.750 --> 00:17:05.809
Probably two years after when I was going to

00:17:05.809 --> 00:17:08.470
Brownsville. Yeah. Somebody paid for me to go

00:17:08.470 --> 00:17:10.589
to Brownsville. People were starting to pay for

00:17:10.589 --> 00:17:12.849
me to go to school, to ministry school. Glory

00:17:12.849 --> 00:17:15.869
to God. Glory to God. I got my degree in missions

00:17:15.869 --> 00:17:19.670
through Globe Missions in Pensacola, Florida.

00:17:19.970 --> 00:17:22.509
And I got my degree. I did not get my degree.

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.140
at Brownsville. I was the last class there, but

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:29.880
somebody paid for that too. So everything I was

00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.519
doing, God started paying for things for me to

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.559
go because it was just, I guess people just saw

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.160
it on me, saw something different in me. God

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.420
spoke to them, no doubt. Absolutely. And Kathy

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:44.500
Winfrey, she was one that really, she watched

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:47.779
my children for me. She helped me in so many

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:51.920
ways. And I do thank God for her wanting to yield

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.700
and see God's transforming power more in my life.

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.140
Just the change that needed to happen. And so

00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:02.240
I'm thankful. God kept sending counselors. He

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.640
would just send them. And they would do it for

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.240
free. Like, let me call them in the middle of

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.619
the night. You know, and it has always been.

00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.279
Wow. That way in my life. Glory to God. So you've

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.619
gone from glory to glory to glory. And every

00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:21.779
time the glory comes, it burns up some of the

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:24.460
stuff that doesn't belong there. That's just

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:29.779
how it works. The glory fire. And he's so kind.

00:18:31.609 --> 00:18:35.589
And he's so thorough, but he doesn't do it all

00:18:35.589 --> 00:18:40.190
at once. Oh, he'd die if he did. Oh, yeah. That's

00:18:40.190 --> 00:18:41.970
what he told to the children of Israel when they

00:18:41.970 --> 00:18:44.150
were taking the promised land. He said, you're

00:18:44.150 --> 00:18:46.970
not going to take it all at once, but take it

00:18:46.970 --> 00:18:48.569
little by little. Because if you took it all

00:18:48.569 --> 00:18:51.690
at once, you don't have enough people to populate

00:18:51.690 --> 00:18:54.609
the place. The wild beasts would take over. So

00:18:54.609 --> 00:18:58.119
you just, here's your first block. Take this,

00:18:58.339 --> 00:19:01.140
and then every generation is supposed to keep

00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:03.859
going. And see, that's the place where they fell

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:06.559
down. They learned from the people that had been

00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:10.579
left alive and started into idolatry, and they

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:13.359
didn't follow through with what God said. But

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.059
all I'm saying is that in one person's life,

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:20.259
you just keep taking ground and you keep letting

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:23.640
the Holy Spirit take ground in you. And that's

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.099
humility because it is embarrassing sometimes.

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:28.180
It can be. You know, especially in the beginning

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:30.740
when, you know, I'd be running really hard for

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:35.029
God and then I'd fall. I'd fall. I'd do something

00:19:35.029 --> 00:19:38.269
wrong or I'd run away or I'd get scared, like

00:19:38.269 --> 00:19:40.430
started getting scared of what God was going

00:19:40.430 --> 00:19:43.549
to do next. And so I'd run. I'd run like that.

00:19:43.569 --> 00:19:45.950
I was rebellious. I was like, no, you're not.

00:19:46.069 --> 00:19:48.650
And I'm like, I was gone. You run like Jonah.

00:19:49.769 --> 00:19:54.490
Get a ticket somewhere else. Yes, I would run.

00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:57.549
I ran away from my spiritual mother. I ran away

00:19:57.549 --> 00:20:00.269
from her. I was so guilty feeling for that. I

00:20:00.269 --> 00:20:03.789
ran away for two years. I lived back in the world

00:20:03.789 --> 00:20:06.670
for a little bit. You know, it's scary. But you

00:20:06.670 --> 00:20:09.390
came back. But I came back. You don't want to

00:20:09.390 --> 00:20:15.150
be whale food. No. Like Noah. No, not Noah. Like

00:20:15.150 --> 00:20:18.930
Jonah. Right. Yeah. Amen. Yeah, you'll learn

00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:21.670
your lesson. Yeah, you go in your detour sometimes,

00:20:21.789 --> 00:20:25.150
but you have to always know in the back of your

00:20:25.150 --> 00:20:28.730
mind, God is calling you to something higher.

00:20:28.930 --> 00:20:32.390
Yes. God is taking you somewhere. And it's a

00:20:32.390 --> 00:20:35.190
destiny written on your heart, especially when

00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:37.369
that new creature comes up, because it's not

00:20:37.369 --> 00:20:40.430
the same person. Now this new creature knows.

00:20:40.769 --> 00:20:43.990
Well, it's your spirit. Yes. Your spirit is the

00:20:43.990 --> 00:20:47.890
real you. Yes. And the one that is contrary is

00:20:47.890 --> 00:20:51.970
the one that has to be reigned in and made one

00:20:51.970 --> 00:20:54.849
with the Holy Spirit, just like your spirit is

00:20:54.849 --> 00:20:56.750
one with the Holy Spirit. It's a training. It's

00:20:56.750 --> 00:21:01.450
a transformation process. Amen. And there was

00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:04.210
a lot of junk there. Yeah. Well, God, but God

00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:08.650
is thorough. And, you know, and he takes us as

00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:12.480
we are. But he doesn't leave us that way. Amen.

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:16.460
And I'm glad he didn't. Yeah. You know, he's

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:18.759
still in the process with all of us. I'm so glad

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.559
he kept taking me back. You know, I'm so glad

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.599
that I had the trust in him. Right. Because I

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.539
don't think people have trust. Yeah. They really

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:31.259
think that they're that dirty when they make

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:34.119
mistakes, that there's something that wrong with

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.160
them, that they can't just crawl back in Daddy

00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.700
God's lap. But that's just not true. Well, that's

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:43.559
the accuser. It is. The accuser starts out as

00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:46.920
the tempter, and he tempts you, and you fall

00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.640
into the slime, and then he berates you for being

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.259
all slimy. Yes. It makes you feel awful that

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:57.019
you're all slimy and muddy. Slime pit. Yeah.

00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.200
But all you have to do is repent. Truly repent.

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:03.500
Yes. From your heart. Right. And you just return

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:07.000
to God. Yes. Amen. You just keep on going back.

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:10.220
So you've kept on going back all these years.

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.259
And tell us more about being a street preacher.

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.480
What have you seen? What kind of experiences

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:20.099
have you seen? What transformed lives? We were

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:24.690
wild. We were so wild. I loved it, though, because

00:22:24.690 --> 00:22:26.890
it really is innately in me. I'm a little bit

00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:31.789
of a wild stallion. So I like the fire that's

00:22:31.789 --> 00:22:35.630
involved in it because you see people as you're

00:22:35.630 --> 00:22:38.430
standing on the sidewalk and they're walking

00:22:38.430 --> 00:22:41.630
by you. And every word that's coming out of your

00:22:41.630 --> 00:22:44.470
mouth is either hitting or missing. And you can

00:22:44.470 --> 00:22:47.049
tell when people are being turned. Something's

00:22:47.049 --> 00:22:49.329
happening to them. You can tell that they turn

00:22:49.329 --> 00:22:53.289
suddenly or they're responding. They're not wanting

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:57.190
to, but they're responding. And there's something

00:22:57.190 --> 00:23:00.069
about street preaching. And I know people, oh,

00:23:00.089 --> 00:23:02.220
it's a bad taste in some people's mouth. But

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:04.680
I think that it was created to be a bad taste

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.019
in some people's mouth. I truly do, because I've

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:10.299
heard people get so mad at street preaching.

00:23:10.819 --> 00:23:13.940
But inevitably, street preaching is like a hammer.

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.700
It just comes in. And guess what? You're not

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:18.500
going to come to us. We're going to come to you,

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:20.619
whether you like it or not. We're not going to

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:22.579
a church. You know, we've got to meet them where

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:24.579
they're at. Yeah. And it's kind of like spanking

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:28.299
a rebellious child. You know, my grandmama has

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:31.240
been praying for years for me. One man said to

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:35.990
me, for years. Can you imagine the rebellion

00:23:35.990 --> 00:23:39.890
that someone has to be in? And they're 50 years

00:23:39.890 --> 00:23:43.410
old and their grandmother had been praying for

00:23:43.410 --> 00:23:48.009
them for years. Decades by that time. Yeah. And

00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:50.509
he comes up to me and he says, thank you. I'm

00:23:50.509 --> 00:23:53.130
going to church tomorrow. Wow. And I'm preaching

00:23:53.130 --> 00:23:56.609
at a bar. Wow. And at this time I'm having to

00:23:56.609 --> 00:23:59.740
deal with this. so -called preacher next to me

00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:02.480
holding up a sign that says I'm with stupid.

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:07.960
So I'm having to really press through and make

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.279
up my mind that this is where God had me stand.

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.440
And this is where I'm going to preach. I learned

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:16.799
a lot from street preaching. I learned people

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.019
from street preaching. And so when that man,

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:22.940
he was on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, he rebuked

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:26.740
the guy behind you, told him not to be. attacking

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:29.319
a woman of god because he said that the preaching

00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.980
is what turned him tonight and he told me he

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.200
says i'm going back i'm going back to church

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.819
i'm going to church you know charisma magazine

00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:42.240
some years back had an article on a lot of the

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.420
old rockers that got saved you know I remember

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:48.700
Mark Farner. That was Grand Funk Railroad. I

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:51.619
loved to see him in concert and all that. In

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:53.759
your early days. In my early days, yeah, thank

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:58.259
you. He got saved. He had a steel band on his

00:24:58.259 --> 00:25:02.619
arm and all that. He was really cool. But he

00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:06.119
got saved, and he would play gigs. He went back

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.359
into performing, and they'd do some of the music

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.359
they wrote. Then he'd do songs the Lord gave

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.559
him. And then he'd go to bars and places, you

00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.740
know, and he'd get criticized, you know, by some

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.940
Christian. But he said, who was going to reach

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:23.539
these people? Because that's where he was. Yeah,

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:26.599
right. And that's a gift that's not for everybody.

00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:28.799
Right. You know, it's not for everybody. That

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:31.720
was for you. That was that was perfect because.

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:34.720
Well, we even went into bars. Yeah. Yeah. We

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:36.700
went into bars and we got on the microphone.

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:39.660
And one time we got surrounded. I thought we're

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:41.460
going to get killed. What are we doing here?

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:43.259
You know, like, what are we doing here? We're

00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:45.400
talking about Jesus on the microphone. They're

00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.559
just want to have a good time and sing. Yeah.

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:50.299
But people were touched. Holy Ghost karaoke.

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:57.000
It was Holy Ghost. It was. And, you know, the

00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.660
woman that actually taught me street preaching

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:03.240
is still a street preacher to this day. Wonderful.

00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:06.480
She preaches all over the world. Wow. And her

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.960
name is Angela Cummings. She's called the women's

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:12.480
fire preacher or something. And she goes to Israel.

00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.539
She street preaches in Israel. Wow. She street

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:19.220
preached. Greece, she straight preached all over

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:21.599
this world. She lives in the nation. She don't

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.980
even come back here. And so she felt like she

00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:29.059
was a real caveat of Steve Hill. I mean, that

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:32.400
man was a huge influence. And when she when she

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.359
talks to me or had talked to me. She looked like

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.440
Steve Hill in the eyes. Like she took that anointing

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.740
so seriously. Wow. And she's still out to this

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:45.859
day preaching the word of God. Glory to God.

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:49.640
So speaking of the nations, the Lord began taking

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.880
you to the nations after a lengthy season of

00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.900
transforming and transforming and glory transforming

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:58.779
and more glory and more glory. Then he started

00:26:58.779 --> 00:27:00.859
taking you to the nations. Tell us a little about

00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:05.220
that. So I went to mission school, got my missions

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:08.019
degree. When in my 20s, I was raising my children,

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:12.640
of course. And I was going to go to Africa at

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:16.299
that time before I married my husband. So my

00:27:16.299 --> 00:27:19.299
heart was to go to Kenya, Africa and sit under

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:24.019
and be mentored by a woman in Africa. So my plans

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:27.880
got turned around. That often happens. It often

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.400
does, doesn't it? Because our plans aren't always

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.819
God's plans. Amen. Amen. And God knew I needed

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:36.420
a husband and I needed my husband. I feel like

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:40.279
God really put a true, I mean, he's my soulmate.

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.599
He's everything that I needed. He's a wonderful

00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.779
man. He really is. And he's a gentle man and

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:49.099
he's a good man and he's a loving man. You needed

00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:51.240
that. Yes. After all that you had been through.

00:27:51.710 --> 00:27:53.990
Yeah. And he has a father's heart. Beautiful.

00:27:54.009 --> 00:27:56.869
Like he has a true father's heart. And I don't

00:27:56.869 --> 00:27:59.509
see him as my father, but I just, I see it in

00:27:59.509 --> 00:28:01.569
him and the way he treats my own children and

00:28:01.569 --> 00:28:06.349
how he has given them a true sense. of a man,

00:28:06.450 --> 00:28:08.849
of what a godly man should be about. Thank you,

00:28:08.849 --> 00:28:12.349
Jesus. So God gave me that. And I really sat

00:28:12.349 --> 00:28:14.869
down for about seven years after we got married.

00:28:15.109 --> 00:28:18.609
I mean, I sat down. I let God cultivate our relationship.

00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:22.069
I was a little bit nervous about letting him

00:28:22.069 --> 00:28:25.970
know who I really was. Yeah, because I knew that

00:28:25.970 --> 00:28:29.650
on the inside, even my pastors told him. Be aware.

00:28:29.849 --> 00:28:32.730
Yeah. Because you've got a call of God in your

00:28:32.730 --> 00:28:35.430
life. Yes. And they made it very clear to him

00:28:35.430 --> 00:28:38.769
that I'm not a picket fence, White House woman,

00:28:38.930 --> 00:28:43.630
that I really was not going to settle for mediocrity.

00:28:43.930 --> 00:28:47.690
And so they told him that straight up. That was

00:28:47.690 --> 00:28:50.990
good. Good pastors. And so he had to make his

00:28:50.990 --> 00:28:53.269
decision that day that he could deal with me.

00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:57.109
But it took me about seven years to really be

00:28:57.109 --> 00:29:01.140
comfortable. And saying, okay, you want to see

00:29:01.140 --> 00:29:04.700
me? Here I am. And he told me when he married

00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:08.039
me, the Lord told him I was a wild stallion and

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.960
that I wasn't scared a lot of anything. I'm not

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:16.859
scared. I'm not a fearful person at all. When

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:19.400
I met my husband, we just took time and I know

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.740
it was God in that season. And I kind of revamped

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:25.380
myself and became a different person. Even then,

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.839
you know, I started doing hair. I mean, I never

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.099
thought I'd ever do hair. I don't do hair, but

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:35.299
I did hair. And God used it for ministry for

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:38.000
me. And I've been able, you know, I've used everything

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.539
in my life for ministry. Beautiful. That's all

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:44.599
it is about. I give a hundred percent. Of my

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.740
life to God. Amen. You know, and that's the way

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:50.119
even when I wasn't really telling Victor who

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.640
I gave everything to God. Beautiful. But now

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.900
these years later, it was like suddenly, suddenly

00:29:57.900 --> 00:30:02.619
there's a suddenlies again. I am going to Africa.

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.799
I am going to the Philippines. Actually, Edith

00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.160
Stanley is the pastor that is over the church

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.819
that I go to the Philippines in and bless her

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:16.019
little heart. I knew her at Liberty Church. Me

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:18.059
and her both went to the same missionary school.

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.859
I still know a lot of missionaries from Globe

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:24.859
Missions. I stay in touch with them. And she

00:30:24.859 --> 00:30:27.500
texted me one day. She said, are you ready to

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:30.380
come? And it's like 15 years later. I mean, it's

00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:34.019
been a long time. It's not overnight, you know.

00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:37.079
And I was like, you didn't forget me. She's like,

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:42.859
no. It's time, you know. So I went to the Philippines

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:46.420
and I had the best time. Now, I didn't have the

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:48.829
freedom I had. The second time I went to the

00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:51.349
Philippines, the first time was kind of like

00:30:51.349 --> 00:30:53.470
getting my feet wet. It was my first missions

00:30:53.470 --> 00:30:56.069
trip. I was really getting into it. It was exciting.

00:30:56.750 --> 00:31:00.470
And, you know, God supplied everything that I

00:31:00.470 --> 00:31:03.230
needed. And even when he didn't supply, it's

00:31:03.230 --> 00:31:05.750
so crazy. And I'm not promoting this, so I'm

00:31:05.750 --> 00:31:08.089
not trying to say, but like we've used credit

00:31:08.089 --> 00:31:15.180
cards and God has paid them back. Like if I'm

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:17.680
obedient to what I know God is telling me to

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.160
do, he's never let me down. And he's always come

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.220
back with provision and protection. Just don't

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:27.740
be presumptuous. Yeah, I'm not being presumptuous.

00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:29.700
Yeah, that's why I don't want to advocate that

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:32.339
in any way. But we have done that, which most

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:34.619
of it was paid, but we use some of it for the

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:37.740
credit cards, right? Yeah. So I just found that.

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:41.079
If you do what God tells you to do, he is always

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.859
faithful to come back and say, here you go. I'll

00:31:44.859 --> 00:31:47.740
take care of you. And the word of God says you

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:53.200
get blessings with persecution, too. So people

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.000
miss that part. They want to knock out the persecution

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.220
and just say the blessings. But they do kind

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:03.440
of run hand in hand. And so I realized that this

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:05.839
world will persecute you, even your finances,

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.680
even the things of the world will persecute you

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.900
as you're doing the things for God and try to

00:32:10.900 --> 00:32:14.200
hinder you and keep you from going forward. And

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.099
you just have to keep your eyes on the mark and

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:20.279
not let those things of this world hinder you.

00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.240
And that's what I'm learning by going to the

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.000
nations is if there's not enough, by golly, God

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.940
is going to take care of it. And I'm determined.

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:32.380
And Victor said, I've seen crazy. He's like,

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:35.920
I work at a crazy anointing. I do. Hallelujah.

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:39.759
Where I just trust. I am a child. Let's put it

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.619
that way. I am a child. Well, that's what pleases

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:45.079
our Father. Yeah. When we behave like children,

00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:48.539
you know. It's not childish, but childlike. Yes.

00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:50.519
There's a difference. Childlike. The trust. Yes.

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:53.700
I trust God with all of my heart because he's

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:57.440
shown himself faithful. So many times in my life.

00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.380
Yeah. All the time in my life. Beautiful. I've

00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:03.200
never gone without because of God. Hallelujah.

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:05.960
You know, He's a good God. He is. He's such a

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.400
good God. He is. So you've been to the Philippines

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.839
how many times? I've been four times now. Okay.

00:33:10.859 --> 00:33:14.519
And you've been to Uganda? Five times. Five times.

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:17.299
And other places? I'm going to Costa Rica. And

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:22.940
I've been invited to Nepal, India. Hasn't gone

00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:25.960
through yet. And I haven't felt. peace yet in

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.799
the move of that. But I do want to go because

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.920
I helped raise money for orphanage there. And

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.700
I had all the pictures of the children from 20

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:39.319
years ago. Wow. Now they're adults. Yeah. I know.

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.180
Go meet the grown children. Yes. God will do

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:45.200
it in His time. Yeah, I agree. He's faithful.

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:48.200
He's absolutely faithful. So you also have a

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:52.140
podcast. Tell us about that. So I called it Unashamed.

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:56.519
I think the reason I named it Unashamed was I

00:33:56.519 --> 00:34:00.299
think that so many times we have a voice and

00:34:00.299 --> 00:34:04.680
we don't use it in concern about what people

00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:09.789
think. So I used the name Unashamed. To kind

00:34:09.789 --> 00:34:13.610
of express that I don't need to be ashamed about

00:34:13.610 --> 00:34:16.809
anything. Yeah. That this is a free nation. We

00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:20.789
all have the ability to say and be who we were

00:34:20.789 --> 00:34:25.369
created to be. So I think that, you know, I put

00:34:25.369 --> 00:34:29.130
this podcast out so that people, they can hear

00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:32.889
what I have to say and I can just be free. Yeah.

00:34:32.909 --> 00:34:35.610
Give what the Lord gives you. Give it, you know,

00:34:35.610 --> 00:34:39.579
and I hope it to be an encouragement. I hope

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:43.699
it to help people grow closer to God and teach

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:47.559
them not to run from God and teach them not to

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.940
be ashamed. Right. Because that's what hinders

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:53.559
us a lot of times. We're ashamed of what happened

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:56.840
to us. We're ashamed of our backgrounds. That's

00:34:56.840 --> 00:35:00.800
that accuser. Exactly. And the accuser is more

00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.320
prevalent in some families than others. And I

00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.860
think that some people are underdogs. They feel

00:35:07.860 --> 00:35:09.760
like they're underdogs. They feel like they could

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.019
never come up to a place where God can use them.

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:20.699
So they stay in that place. It's hard. It's hard

00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:24.380
to say, okay, God, I can surrender what I'm dealing

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:27.760
with. I can let you do this work in me. I can,

00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:32.019
you know, it's hard. And they have just as much

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:35.900
of a capability to do this as me or you. It's

00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:38.739
just. You have to put it in your mind that you're

00:35:38.739 --> 00:35:41.980
not ashamed. You can come forth. You can let

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:45.699
God do the work, you know, and that's what I

00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:48.039
want people to feel. I want them to put all the

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.719
shame aside. Yes. There's not one person on this

00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.619
earth that is perfect. Right. Nobody's perfect.

00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:56.619
Right. God only has broken people to work with.

00:35:57.019 --> 00:36:00.719
Exactly. Exactly. I mean, I'm not going to tell

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.960
you that I've got it all together and I'm not

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:04.980
letting God still work on me and this, that,

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:07.280
and the other. Only Jesus has it all together.

00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:10.480
Amen. Amen. And he spilt it all out so that we

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:14.599
can be put back together. Exactly. Exactly. So

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:17.019
I just, I want people to know you don't have

00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:19.420
to be perfect to run with God. You have to have

00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:23.280
a heart, not a good heart. You just have to have

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.179
a willing heart. Yeah. A heart that's willing

00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:30.179
to let God work on it. Amen. That's it. Yep.

00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:34.760
Not perfect. Just willing. Beautiful. Yeah. Beautiful.

00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:39.219
So how often do you put out episodes? I've attempted

00:36:39.219 --> 00:36:42.099
to do it every week. So every seven days I'm

00:36:42.099 --> 00:36:45.409
putting out something. My last one was on. abortion.

00:36:45.590 --> 00:36:48.489
It was really hard on my heart. And I thought,

00:36:48.550 --> 00:36:51.869
you know, this nation is really split because

00:36:51.869 --> 00:36:56.349
of abortion. And, you know, I'm black and white.

00:36:56.570 --> 00:36:59.889
I do believe that abortion is a no -no. I feel

00:36:59.889 --> 00:37:04.190
like even if it was being abused or being raped

00:37:04.190 --> 00:37:07.050
or even incest, you know, if you think it's a

00:37:07.050 --> 00:37:10.449
shame to you, I have purposed in my heart to

00:37:10.449 --> 00:37:15.170
believe that abortion is always coming from a

00:37:15.170 --> 00:37:22.510
place of self. And mothers are not selfish. Yeah,

00:37:22.550 --> 00:37:24.750
they're not supposed to be. I mean, the real

00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:30.010
mother instinct inside of you is not selfish.

00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:33.929
I remember when we had our daughter, up until

00:37:33.929 --> 00:37:38.550
that point, I was cranky every morning. I was

00:37:38.550 --> 00:37:43.320
just cranky. I woke up cranky. She's not a morning

00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:45.219
person. I'm not a morning person. And just, you

00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:48.159
know, give me space until I really wake up. Okay,

00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:51.820
that's how I was. And I really would be cranky,

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:55.579
wasn't I? Yes. I was. You were cranky. Maybe

00:37:55.579 --> 00:37:58.300
not. Consistently cranky. And having low blood

00:37:58.300 --> 00:38:00.380
sugar, low blood pressure, I couldn't give her

00:38:00.380 --> 00:38:02.340
a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. That

00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:05.199
didn't work. But when our daughter was born,

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.820
something happened inside of me. And I thought,

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.929
this child. does not understand why I would be

00:38:13.929 --> 00:38:17.849
cranky. I have to stop. Wow. And I lost that

00:38:17.849 --> 00:38:20.889
selfish place where this is just me. This is

00:38:20.889 --> 00:38:24.010
who I am. This is how I am. And you better just

00:38:24.010 --> 00:38:26.929
get used to it. I quit doing drugs every time

00:38:26.929 --> 00:38:28.989
I had my kids. I was like, I can't do drugs.

00:38:29.010 --> 00:38:33.610
I'm pregnant, you know. Yeah. So you make concessions.

00:38:33.610 --> 00:38:37.170
You make sacrifices for your children. It's a

00:38:37.170 --> 00:38:40.090
part of the instinct. But I think our society

00:38:40.090 --> 00:38:43.820
has become so broken. And the children that have

00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:47.940
grown up and they're adult in their bodies, but

00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:50.820
their emotions are so broken that they're stuck

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:54.280
at whatever age they were traumatized at. I agree.

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:58.300
And it keeps them selfish. And they've only been

00:38:58.300 --> 00:39:01.400
taught that this is okay, that it's been given

00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.420
to us on a silver platter. You can end this pregnancy.

00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:09.059
It's a pregnancy. It's not a baby. It's a pregnancy.

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.699
And if you can think of it as a pregnancy, Then

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:16.239
you can end it. Right? No. Or it's just tissue.

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.199
Yeah. Yeah. But they've been lied to. They've

00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.679
been lied to. Well, I didn't expect to get on

00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.900
that subject. I didn't either. But, you know,

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:27.519
it was very heavy. Yeah. And I did a quick podcast.

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:30.000
I didn't even study it or nothing before I put

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.619
it out there. So if I said anything, y 'all,

00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.380
I'm sorry. But, you know, I do feel that people

00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:39.980
should know to be at least responsible not to

00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:42.670
get pregnant. Yeah. You know, because it is another

00:39:42.670 --> 00:39:46.570
life. Absolutely. Absolutely. So we'll just encourage

00:39:46.570 --> 00:39:49.570
people to go to look for the Unashamed podcast

00:39:49.570 --> 00:39:53.409
by Olivia Bowie. Would you pray for our listeners?

00:39:53.769 --> 00:39:57.869
Yes. Lord, thank you, God. Thank you, Lord, that

00:39:57.869 --> 00:40:01.309
you love us so much that you will not leave us

00:40:01.309 --> 00:40:05.429
the same way we came to you, Father God. And

00:40:05.429 --> 00:40:08.469
Lord, I thank you, God, that you are a transformative

00:40:08.469 --> 00:40:11.710
God, that you will not leave us if we're hungry.

00:40:11.809 --> 00:40:15.429
God, if we are seeking your face, there is no

00:40:15.429 --> 00:40:19.929
way not to change. So, Lord, I pray, God, that

00:40:19.929 --> 00:40:23.889
every person that is listening, God, to us today,

00:40:23.989 --> 00:40:27.789
that, Lord, you will just lay it on their hearts

00:40:27.789 --> 00:40:32.329
to not be ashamed, but to run with a heart of

00:40:32.329 --> 00:40:36.909
repentance to God. Lord, run with a heart of

00:40:36.909 --> 00:40:40.710
repentance that his face is always looking at

00:40:40.710 --> 00:40:44.510
us. His face is never turned away. And it's only

00:40:44.510 --> 00:40:48.670
us that turns our hearts away. So, God, I pray

00:40:48.670 --> 00:40:52.010
that you would encourage people to just continue

00:40:52.010 --> 00:40:55.829
to get up and run to you and trust you, God,

00:40:55.909 --> 00:40:59.110
because you are a good, good father. And Lord,

00:40:59.230 --> 00:41:02.150
I pray, God, even for those that have had abortions,

00:41:02.150 --> 00:41:05.809
there's no condemnation in Christ Jesus. There's

00:41:05.809 --> 00:41:09.070
no condemnation if that's happened to you. The

00:41:09.070 --> 00:41:11.730
only condemnation that you would walk in would

00:41:11.730 --> 00:41:15.409
be if you continued to walk with an unrepentant

00:41:15.409 --> 00:41:18.940
heart. No. that that was a life, Father God.

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.179
So, Lord, I pray that you would just bless every

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:25.360
listener today. And I pray, God, that your glory

00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.980
would just fall on them, that they would just

00:41:27.980 --> 00:41:32.219
know that you love them and that it is your will

00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:36.320
and your way to bless them over and above and

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.579
beyond what they can imagine or ask. But, God,

00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:43.260
you do have rules that you call your people to

00:41:43.260 --> 00:41:46.619
come by. So, Lord, I pray, God, that you will

00:41:46.619 --> 00:41:49.260
move by your Holy Spirit on the audience. God,

00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:53.179
in Jesus name, Lord, bless them all. Yes. And

00:41:53.179 --> 00:41:55.480
we thank you, God, that you are a good father

00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.320
and that you'll reveal yourself to them if they'll

00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:03.519
do these things. Yes. Jesus name. Amen. Amen.
