Hey guys, I'm Ange and I'm Ari and this is Girls Gone Bible where we talk everything, Jesus, the Bible, he took us two girls from the pit and he brought us to life and he saved us and now we live for Jesus and we live to talk about him as much as we can and spread the good news the joy of the Lord and so we say come as you are just don't stay that way we work every day not to stay that way yeah and he continuously redeems our life from the pit as Psalm 103 says and when I say continuously I mean every day really though every day thank you Jesus I love him so freaking much I don't know what to do with myself I know I found myself yesterday.

Just like weeping tears of joy. Thank you, Jesus. I can't believe it. I'm just like, I'm just, I'm so overwhelmed with joy. I just had my birthday. Yeah, guys, say happy birthday to Ari. We do this every year where we forget. I know, where we put only a cake after the present.

You got me. So our thing, Ari and I's thing is we love gift, like giving each other a gift. So every year for our birthdays, we just blow everybody else out of the water with the gifts that we get each other. She goes, no one's won up in me this year. No, I said, absolutely not. She's, I mean, God really knew what he was doing with you because you really do take the place of, like, a husband. It's the funniest thing ever. But that's what God does.

Like, he provides, like, I don't have a husband, but I have a best friend. And how much better is that? Honestly, I'd say it's the best. I'd say that other time. I'm like, I got my friends. I don't need anything else. But no, I, it was like the greatest birthday of my life this year. Wow. Tell us about it. I just, like the only way to describe it is I just felt like I could see. Like I had fresh eyes. Like sometimes when you're in such a place of brokenness and healing and grieving for so long because you guys know I've been, it's taken me through. years to heal. And I just felt like this year I could see the people in my life. I felt so much, I can't believe what God has done in me. I can't believe that I can experience this level of joy and peace. I'm not broken anymore. I'm not broken anymore. Wow. And I just, I just,

I really reflected on everything, and I just, I have everything I could ever need or ask for. And I'm just, I just feel so filled with joy and peace. Wow. And it's an incredible place to be in. And I'm just, I had a moment of just feeling so proud of myself. Like, I didn't compromise. I did things really the hard way. Yeah.

But I'm seeing the fruit of it now. Wow. I'm seeing, it's like I'm seeing miracles in my life within my family. Yeah. And it's just so beautiful. And it's like I just feel so much peace with everything in my life. I'm seeing the miracles of the prayers of my family. You guys know my dad gave his life to Jesus.

And I can't believe what he's doing in my father's life. And it's, you know, when sometimes you want to be happy, but you know your family's struggling so much. So it's really hard to like go on and really have joy sometimes because you're like, oh, but my family's not doing well. Totally. So I've been carried the weight of that for so long. And I've just been praying so fervently for my family.

And I'm seeing the fruit of it. And God is just so kind. And, yeah, my dad is doing so well, you guys. He went through so much grief recently. And it's so unbelievable what grief can do. Like, you think like you're never going to be okay. And it's the worst thing you're ever. going through, but what God does through your grief. If my dad didn't get to the level of the pit

of grief, he would have never been hungry to seek out Jesus to really find him in his own way. And so through my dad's grief and prayers, he found Jesus and he found a men's group in an amazing church that he's walking with now and he's in Bible studies. And he calls me the other day and he goes, hey, I have to tell you something. I got drunk. And I was like, Dad, I mean, my dad's been sober for six years. And I'm like, you got drunk. He goes, I'm drunk off the Holy Spirit. I was just like, my father is a different man. Wow. And sometimes I'm not going to lie. Like, I believe the power of prayer, God can do anything. Look what he did with our lives. But sometimes in the back of my head, I was like, my dad's at this age. Like, when you're at a certain

age, you just can't change. Like, that's what I was, I always thought. But man, with the Lord, He can do anything at any age, no matter how far gone you think you are. And I'm seeing the fruits in my mother, too. I mean, my mother has, my mother was struggling so much just because my mom's single. Yeah. So it's really hard for me to, like, see her kind of be alone and just seeing my mom have purpose now. And she's so full of joy. And my family, it's just, it's so beautiful.

So don't stop praying for your family. don't give up on your family because if my family could come on the other side of everything they've been through, your skin too. And so I just, I wanted to share that because it's just, it's so miraculous what's going on. Wow. And so I'm just, I'm just so, I'm just so grateful. Your life is a whole miracle. You are a whole miracle. What I have seen God do in your life in such a amount of time is so unreal. Like, it's unimaginable what's taken place in your life. And I told you on the phone yesterday where I was like, you began at such a deficit in your life because of your upbringing and just so many things in your life. You find Jesus later. It's not even like you find

him when you're 15 years old. You let God, like literally the gospel of Jesus Christ came to life in your life. You are a walking testimony, a walking miracle of that God can actually take somebody who has no faith in their life whatsoever. You had no seeds planted at Auntie Barbara. But like other than that, you know, you don't have parents of faith. Like you have nothing to go off of and you let God radically change your life. You were not a victim. You said if God gives me the ability to change and overcome, I'm going to be an overcomer. And you overcame every. every obstacle, and you are literally a different person than you were three years ago, a completely different person from the inside out, the healing that you've received, the difference in, like,

literally the neuropathways in your brain are different. Yeah, yeah. And not that it's perfect 100% of the time, but it is a radical difference that shows you, like, truly, you can go from death to life. But look at what God did through you to help me. And I'm not like, and I'm serious. like it's it wasn't all like and that's how god works and i was also looking around reflecting on everything like the people that he brought into my life you have amazing people who love you so much love me and this is what he does like he doesn't leave you alone and isolated and and just like go figure it out like he provides he provides and and the way he worked through you to help me and into I'll never start preaching about that what he what you did for me and how how

he used you to help me and I'm so glad that we're talking about serving today because that's that's the whole point yeah right that's the whole point and and and what you you you let him you let him you let him you let him you let him you let him work through you to help me where so many people don't take that because listen it's not easy to like be sacrificial and listen to the same question 500 times that I when I I mean when I met her I was going through horrible obsessive compulsive thinking I was so unwell many people would not sit with me and deal with that that's just the truth that doesn't make them bad people but not everyone is sacrificial and you are so sacrificial and the way you served me and helped me with humility and you could have went and I have

chill bumps as I say this, but you could have, you know, did your own thing and been, you know, and been like, all right, I can't do with this anymore. I need to set boundaries. You didn't. You put me before yourself day in and day out. You sat with me. You loved me. And that's why I'm so excited that we talk about this today because that is what a servant heart looks like. Can I be honest, though? I was having a good freaking time. Whenever Ari tells me that she was like so this and that and struggling so bad. I'm like, dude, we had so much fun. Like, all I remember is the fun. All I remember is laughing with you and then answering some questions that, you know, I think, and about you is that you, one of the greatest things that

the way you know Jesus is in you and what I've learned because I didn't always like exude joy because I just had that depression. So much depression like overtook me always and I never felt good. so it was really hard for me to like I went up and down but with you you just you exude joy constantly like you don't have that depressive even when you're in like the worst place like like you'll find angeles still having joy and laughing I'm like like it truly is such a gift it's a gift from Jesus it's a gift from from Jesus and so I think with you and it's something I've learned and what everyone can learn is like when you truly walk with the Lord and spend time with him like you are joy yeah and because you had Jesus you are able to just like exude joy even in the worst times and I think that's one of

the most beautiful things of finding Jesus and like how can you not want Jesus in your life like she's a byproduct of like the joy of the Lord wow you know what I mean and not many people really have that like it's it's it's it's hard for people to just constantly exude joy even in dark times and and you are like you're a um what's the word you're a angel you do such an example of that it's it's pretty cool i've learned so much from from you with joy i love you so much all right guys we talk all the time about protecting your peace your mind your spirit but let's talk about protecting the littles in our lives, too. Nises, nephews, baby cousins, our friends' kids, because we don't have kids yet. We don't. We're the coolants. We're the coolants or the, yeah,

I'm so excited to talk about this topic today with you because this is your life. We're going to talk about living on mission, serving others, opening your home, a bunch of different things.

But Ari, wait, no, first, first, I want to say it's also, okay, Ari's birthday is also our friend anniversary. Before my birthday, let's talk about that a little. It's our friendship anniversary, and this is three years ago now, only three years. I feel like I've known you of my whole friend of mine. We've been. Three years ago. We've been in a whole marriage.

Do work with your best friend. They'll be your training partner for marriage. Three years ago, I walk into a job, see Ari in the corner. She's crying. She's going through so much. I sit down, grab her hand, say, I don't know who you are, but we're going to get through this together. And what I remember about that moment is you look at my cross, that aunt my necklace. Yes.

And you go, are you a girl? Christian? Is that what you said? Yes. And I go, am I a freaking Christian? I love Jesus. And then I put me in her phone as Angie Jesus. I wish I was still that. And then I, and then I saw you, I think I saw you at the job like preaching to girls. And I just remember looking at you and I was like, who is this? And I was like, oh my God, she left her mom too. I was like, this is going to be my friend. it was so cute. It was so cute. And then we literally go on a journey of loving Jesus together. And Ari, you just like started learning so quickly and started loving Jesus so quickly.

You were so like, okay, okay, I'll do anything. What, who, what to do? Tell me what to do. You were so hungry and so willing and so open and obedient and just like, you didn't even know what was going on. And you were just like, I would just watch you. I was just watch you. I would just let you guys don't understand i know i tell this all the time but this girl was in she would be she would be in my room like screaming at the not screaming but be like doing repentance prayers i didn't know what was going on this is before girls gone bible before girls gone bible you were making videos i was like oh this is her calling and then you arie was probably saved for about 30 minutes before she started then discipling people and bringing people to Jesus. You were

always like, the second you really knew who Jesus was, you just had that anointing where you were like, I can't shut up about this. Like immediately your life became being on mission. Even before Jesus, your life was on mission to help people to be there for people, to help children, foundations, like all that stuff. And then the second you met Jesus, it's like your calling just fell into place without you even trying you're like oh this is why I've always had the heart to help people yeah this is why I've always I can't imagine for you which is interesting being someone who's always opened your home who's always welcomed people who's always been self-sacrificial to then read the Bible and be like this has been the call of God on my life my whole life I didn't even know but

it was always in me isn't that crazy because it's what I always wanted to do yeah but it always fell through. I was reading my journal and I was like trying to go to schools, middle schools, high schools. I wanted to like help kids with mental health and stuff. I tried to do an organization when I had a clothing line and help like suicidal. Like I just wanted to help. But it always fell through and I look back and I'm like, God had to prepare me for truth to know truth before I could really step into my calling to help others. And so it's just funny how he worked. And I'm like, because I don't know if I would, I mean, yes, we're like we can help people and love people, but to really help people, we need to know truth.

And I don't know what I would have what I would have been telling them, you know. Align your chakras. Well, no, I was going to say that because I hear many people say, I want to step into my calling and help people, but they're dabbling and like the sun and the earth and all these things. And if I'm not judging you, I was doing that as well. Yeah. I was. Going to psychics. I was doing, I was doing Reiki. You did Reiki? Yes, I had a, a girl do Reiki on me two times. Shoot. Yeah. I was desperate. I was literally desperate. Like the woman with the blood issue, doing everything I can to try to be healed. I went to psychics growing up. I did too. What did they tell you? I don't know But imagine

Sometimes I look back on my life And all the chaos And I'm like Oh yeah, obviously I'm freaking going to the psychics And she's doing a little A little crystal ball Telling me with my feet

Oh, get out of here I told Angela Can we start going into To psychic places And telling them to go back To your father the devil I was reading it Go back to your father the devil

I don't know if it was an axe But that's what they did I was like Oh What would people do if we started doing that? That would be so bold. That would be so bold. I don't know if it'd be the right approach.

You belong to your father, the devil. So today we're going to talk about being on mission, opening your home, being there for people, the healing and the freedom that comes from serving others in a way that leads people to Jesus. And I think just obviously so many people, preaching is important, communicating the gospel is, everything, but it's not everything. And there are ways to demonstrate love. Scripture talks about how, like, nobody has ever seen God, but they see the evidence of him in the way that we love one another. And so literally we see the face of God in the way that we love people. And loving people is for sure preaching them the gospel, but it's also serving them in whatever way they need. One of my favorite things to say is that as believers, as Christians, we're meant to see a need and then meet it and to like live life truly on mission that you go out in public and you are aware that we have a God who is constantly speaking.

And I think we're always waiting for God to say these big, big, big things and do these big moves. But scripture talks about with Elijah that God was in the whisper. Like God is in the whisper. He's in the quiet moments where he literally just nudges you and say, hey, look, at that person, he highlights somebody to you. And he's like, that person needs prayer. That person needs to know me. Maybe God gives you a prophetic word for them. Maybe you don't get a word of knowledge, but you simply get to go up and say, hey, Jesus loves you. And I think one of the things you can say for yourself this past year is that it wasn't easy always for you to step into the

boldness, to go up to people, because it's sometimes a little nerve-wracking. We were at the airport, and I'm like sitting there. I'm like, it's like 30 minutes goes by. And I'm like, where is she? I'm calling her. She's not answering. I thought somebody stole you. And I look back and she's with this.

Why don't you tell them the story? But I look back and she's holding this girl and she's praying on her. This was in the airport. That is so cute. Because it's good for people to know that because we have to have our eyes open. And if we're sitting there on the phone, if we're constantly thinking about ourselves and our own thoughts and our minds, we can't see, we can't hear God correctly. Totally. And there's nothing more rewarding than every day doing something nice for someone.

I'm going to say every single day. Every day. We and you were talking about it takes two seconds to even give someone a compliment. I would say that's serving someone. Yes. You don't know what somebody. Every time I'm like, I take a moment out of my day and be like, I love your outfit. fit or you're so beautiful or whatever it is. It's like, it's so rewarding to see them go like this

to thank you. Like it's, this is, this is like our mission, right? To like make people feel loved and just love on one another. And that's one of the ways to serve is to to help strangers, to give them compliments, to serve them. You know what someone's going through. Just giving, I mean, it's literally scriptural. It says encourage others and be encouraged. It's not even an option. We're meant to be encouraged ourselves and we are called to encourage people. Yeah, tell them about that. I just went to, we were at the airport. We were going on tour probably somewhere and I went to the bathroom and I'm walking back and I saw this girl crying and I remember I was on FaceTime and I was in the middle of a conversation and I'm walking past and I'm like obviously the Lord's like,

hello, you're going to stop? And I'm like, I'm on the phone, you know? And I like, and I felt that little bit of wrestle. And I just want you to know if you ever feel like you're supposed to stop and then you feel this little wrestle and resistance, you have to press into whatever you feel God is calling you to do in that moment. That wrestle is literally an indication that hell doesn't want you to stop for that person and God is asking you to stop. Whenever there's resistance in anything, you should lean into that and be like, what is there? You know? Or what's there? So I walk past this girl and she's bawling her eyes out and I was like what am I going to say to her like I don't I over here on the phone and she's saying that she got scammed and needs like she got scammed like somebody scammed her and like

took money from her or something and I am like okay what do I do so I go over to her and I like sit next to her and she's bawling her eyes out and she gets off the phone and I'm like hi I have my Venma open and I'm like can I please I just heard you over the phone I'm so sorry this happened can I please send you some money? And she goes, no, absolutely not. She was so sweet. She was from Miami. She was like, no, absolutely not. You're not giving me any money. No, no. And I was like, please just let me take. Like, just let me bless you right now. And she's like, no, I don't want it. I'm fine. I swear. I'm fine. I'm like, okay. I'm like, well, do you mind if I pray for you? And she goes, no, you can't pay for me? I'm like, no, no, can I pray for you? And she was like, oh, yeah. And then she like takes out her necklace and she has like a cross and a saint on her necklace. And I can tell like she probably knows of Jesus. I don't think she knows Jesus. And I don't think she's probably born again and really following the Lord. So I'm praying for her. She's bawling her eyes out. We're just praying together. And then I just

start talking to her. And I'm like, I feel this tension where I'm like, you know, ask her if she wants to accept Jesus. And then I'm like, that's so weird. Like let the girl, she's freaking crying. That's not what she needs right now. And then I'm like, what? what else does she need than to give her life to Jesus in this moment? And any time I've ever asked somebody, do you want to give your life to Jesus and pray this with me? They've never said no. And so I'm like talking to her about Jesus.

I'm telling her, she's like in a lot of whatever. So I'm trying to get her just like out of her mess of what she's feeling and experiencing and like trying to get her to focus on Jesus. And then I'm like, do you want to give your life to Jesus? I'm like, because you're going through a lot and the only way that you're going to get out of these situations is by giving your life to him and like actually following him like there's so much chaos in your life um and he's he's the god of order and he will bring things into order you've got to give your life to jesus you've got to turn away from what was i was like these friends that you have

uh these places you've been going it's look where it's brought you you know with so much love in my heart and like in my tone and i'm like do you want to give your life to jesus and she goes you know like I grew up Catholic like whatever and I was like for sure I totally get that and I honor that I respect that I'm like but like we're called to be born again to repent turn away from our old life to confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus is Lord and completely go a different way than we've been going um and this is a moment for you to rededicate your life to say like sure I knew Jesus but like I wasn't following him and she was like yeah and she was so hungry. She was like, yeah, yeah, I want to. So in the middle of the airport, she's bawling her eyes out.

We're holding hands. I lead her to the Lord. She gives her life to Jesus. She repents and she makes a decision in that moment. And it's beautiful and glorious. And she wouldn't, I'd ask her again, can I please give you money? And she said no. And I don't know where that moment went. I don't know where that girl is. I pray for her after. I ask the Holy Spirit to do what only he can do. but that's a moment where you see a need and you meet it and like you stop for the one stop for the one person every person matters and for ari and i we go out on stages and we go on a podcast and we do massive big things those are the most important moments that i have you know and then tell them about the story with the guy i mean it's just it's important to share this stuff because these are miracles

that God is doing through like don't hide it like share this stuff like these are amazing things that are happening that the Lord is doing we need to like share it yeah don't hold back from what God is doing through you with people yeah the man that was sick yesterday yeah I was at the bank and I saw this guy he was in a wheelchair and had an oxygen tank and um I think it was maybe his wife with him or his nurse and it was just really devastating what I was seeing and I was a in the middle of doing my thing that I was doing at the bank. And I feel myself, he starts to, like, wheel his chair away. And I feel myself, like, that tension and that resistance of, like, I am in the middle of something right now. Like, I'm literally in the middle of doing

something at the bank. There are people behind me. And there have been times in a moment like that where I choose to continue doing what I'm doing. And it's devastating. And I'm like, can you just give me one second? And I turn to the guy and I, like, kneel by his thing. He barely speaks English, but I'm like, I'm like, hi, I'm so sorry you don't know who I am. My name is Angela. I believe in Jesus. I believe in a God who heals. And before I even finish saying what I'm saying, he goes, me too, me too. And he's like this older man named Carlos and he doesn't really speak English. And he can barely talk. He has tubes and oxygen. And he's like probably a hundred pounds, maybe less. And I'm like, can you tell me what's wrong in your body? And he's like, I have,

I have fibrosis. They had my name. I need a transplant. They had my name on the list at the hospital. And then I call and somehow my name wasn't on the list and he couldn't get his transplant. And I just like, he starts crying, she starts crying, I start crying. We're all crying together. It's such a holy precious moment.

And I'm like, can I put my hands on you and pray? And I just put my, and he shows me where it is. And I put my hand on his back and I pray. And I just said, Lord, you know, may the gift of healing given to me by the authority. of Jesus Christ flow through me, flow through my hands right now. And I pray that every part of his body would be obedient to Christ, that would come into perfect alignment, that there would be complete healing over his body, over the fibrosis. I don't even know what fibrosis is, so I don't even know how to pray for it exactly. But like, I pray that the healing, miraculous healing of Jesus

comes over this man's body. And then we pray that his name would miraculously be on that list. Again, I don't see to get the surgery. To get this transplant, yeah. And I don't, and he left and he was so grateful. And then I just prayed like, or I told him, like, do not take your eyes off of Jesus. He's with you and this. And he goes, never, I never, I never take my eyes off Jesus. And I was like, keep praying.

You are going to get the transplant. Your body will be healed. You're going to be okay. I said, you're not going to need this oxygen tank. Wow. Wow. He was so grateful and the lady's crying and everyone's crying. The cashiers are crying and it's so, and the girl's like, are you from Girls Got Bible?

And it was just the most beautiful moment. And I was having a really bad day yesterday and I was really in my own head and really in my own stuff. And had I missed that moment because I was so consumed with myself, like, who knows? And God would have had someone else pray for him. it's not about me, but like I don't want to miss my participation in the kingdom and what God is doing. It's the call of God on my life. It's the mission of my life to go out in public and see what people need and then be bold and pray and inconvenience myself to stop for the person who needs it. And let me ask you this. What did it do in that moment when you did that for that

man in your brokenness? Oh, I mean literally completely. I literally. I literally. I literally go, what am I even talking about? What am I even thinking about? Like, I literally go to my car and I'm like, and I'm freaking complaining about, like, look what people go through. Look at what's going on in the world. My life that's this big, my issues that are this big, like, I'm not on an oxygen tank right now. It really puts things into perspective. It lists your brokenness. Yeah. But can you imagine if we all did this? If we all were on mission, I mean, it's not, It's not because me and you, like, have a podcast that we can go, like, do you know that we can all do this? Yes.

We can all be on mission for Jesus, and we can all be helping and praying and serving and encouraging when we're out at the bank. We're at grocery stores. Like, can you imagine how different the world would be? Yeah. How we're sitting in our emotions and our brokenness, how we're not going to be walking around all depressed if we're constantly helping other. that is going to lift our brokenness. Like, this is the message that we're trying to say to you guys, like, it's, it's transformed our lives serving the Lord instead of thinking about ourselves so much. Exactly. Yeah.

It is the most crucial message. Yeah. Like, this message is so important, and we talk about serving a lot, but it's, this is what the Lord has called us to do. Yeah. Not live for ourselves. Exactly. But to serve. Jesus didn't come to get served, he came to serve.

Yeah. All right, guys, can we talk about how cats truly run homes? Like, every time we go visit our friend Carolina, it's all about her cat.

This season of my life, there is so much I could update you on, so many miracles that are happening. I can't believe what's happening. I don't even know where to begin, but basically, I mean, we all have gifts, and I just believe, like, I just love to serve.

Like, I love to be in the dirt with people. My favorite part of the shows is when I'm, like, holding these, holding you guys in my arms. It's the joy of my life. It literally fills my heart. If I have nothing else the rest of my life, I have done it all. I've my heart is so full when I get to serve and love and hold people like it's the joy of my life and so I when I'm not doing that I feel I just believe that God has truly called me to this like he has it's I believe he called me to it because this is just what I'm meant to do and so I went

through a thing last month where I was following my emotions more than the scriptures I was just being so led by my mind and my thoughts and my emotions and I was in a little bit of a rut and I was complaining more than I was thanking Jesus and that's okay I think we all have needs and ones I think I was just really in my feelings and I couldn't get out of it so I was just in a really bad rut I could barely open my Bible I could barely press

and so I sat down one morning and I was just like I got really vulnerable. That's what's so good about like not hiding and bringing everything in honesty. And I just started to get real honest in my prayer time. And I was like, listen, I don't know what I can't even go to the grocery store. I don't feel good. I feel stuck. Like I'm so anxious in my mind. Help me.

I literally started putting my hands on my mind. mind. I was like, help me. And I heard God so clearly say, pick up your mat and go help my people. And it was one of the most profound moments in my intimacy time with Jesus that I've ever had. I heard it so clearly. And I was like, oh my gosh, yes, you're right. Like, I haven't been serving. I got so wrapped up in just like the podcast and this and work and my feelings that I just kind of, stopped serving people behind the scenes

you know I was complaining too much and I I usually go to this shelter in L.A. through a friend that actually

had been texting me and I wasn't getting back to and I was like Fareed his name was Freed I was like I need to reach out to him like why haven't I called him

and so I look at my phone this is this is This is how Jesus works. I look at my phone. I have a text from Freed. He sends me a scripture. Wow. Really, really would love to talk to you.

I said, you're kidding me. I call him right away. I'm like, you have no idea what just happened. I shared to him about, you know, how God had told me to go help his people. And he said, well, that is so crazy because I could sure use your help. There, I am helping. This guy that I'm, one of my friends. He dedicates his whole life to just serving and helping others. And it's just,

it's so beautiful to see. I pray that I can be half of what he is someday. But he was like, I'm helping these two families. I'm doing everything on my own. He ends up picking me up that day. And I go to this family's house, this single grandmother with three beautiful little kids that she's taken care of by herself and she's disabled and I go into this home and they they have nothing and these three kids start hugging on my legs and they're looking up at me there was like seeing three beautiful angels and I got to sit with this grandmother and hold her hand and just just listen to her and her and her grief and help her and and then I got to go to this other home with this other little girl that I had known from the shelter and she just looked at me and she

was Ariel, I have missed you. And I sat with her for like four hours. And I just, all of that brokenness and those things that I was complaining about completely lifted. And I just looked up to God with tears. And I was like, I am so sorry that I was sitting there complaining about my life. This is the whole point. You know? I'm sitting there. I'm like, oh, man, I wish I had, like, I want, like, am I going to have kids? And then I have these three little kids hugging on my legs. And so I just, I was just like, this is exactly where I'm supposed to be. Like, if you're, especially, like, if you're single right now, like, I want to let you know that God has you on mission. Like, I had this moment of being like, well, yes, you can still do, like, serve when you

have a family, but it's different. Yeah. And I'm able to, to serve families that, you're don't have a lot and love on children because I don't have my own and because I'm in a season where I can go all in. That's why when Paul says, it is better to be single because you can focus on things of the Lord. You can be on mission for him. And so I had that moment of being like, this is exactly where I'm supposed to be. And he showed me that because I'm complaining about being in my singleness. And then I'm at this house to like 9.30 p.m. and I'm like, if I had a whole family back at home I couldn't do this yeah yeah and so I say that to to use singles that are like oh my gosh I'm watching everyone around me just be on serve with all your heart right right it is the

most rewarding fulfilling thing you can ever do in this life and um since then I have been on fire I have been in so I I can't even tell you the joy that I have the peace that I have in my heart it's what we're all supposed to do as believers. And then, yeah, and then another thing I'll just share with you that a life update is like my last home that I lived in was a home that I had to heal my heart from. Yeah. And I really wanted my new home to be a home of fellowship and community and ministry. I wanted to have literally a mini ministry in my home. And so before I moved in, I just, I prayed for hours in it. I had the elders of the church come and just pray over it.

I mean, we prayed for days. And I just, I was in constant prayer like, Lord, let that my home be a home of ministry where I can serve others behind the scenes. I can help. I can bring unbelievers to Jesus. Wow. And boy is my home that, I mean, the miracles that have happened is insane. Wow.

It's not natural sometimes to get your hands dirty. Right? Yeah. But like I've had to take some chances. Like I have, I had a girl that you have to. Okay. I just have to tell me about the AI. Ari will, um, we just have to pray for sweet baby R because her heart is so big that she might let anybody in her house. And we did the funniest thing because it's so believable that Ari would let like a homeless person in her house. Like it's so like that's genuinely believable. So Ari literally, um, We showed our tour manager and worship leader on tour. These AI photos, we'll put them on the screen, like the AI of these homeless men, and they were losing their minds. She's like, he was sitting on my bed, and then he slept on my couch, and then he took a freaking shower. That sounds like Ariel.

And they believed it fully for days because people would believe that Ari would open her home. And I hope that she wouldn't, I don't know. If God called you to do it, you take a risk. But guys, also be careful. Like really think, and this may be a really convicting episode for people, but like the scripture in Matthew 25 for I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. Like I had to like go back to that scripture and say, am I doing that? And I honestly wasn't. I wasn't doing that. Last night as I was like going through the Bible and getting scriptures, I'm like, I don't even know which ones to choose because the whole Bible is about serving others and generously giving and being sacrificial to the poor and to strangers and to, I mean, this is the whole Bible. Wow.

So if we're just preaching but not actually serving, then we've missed the mark here. And so, yeah, my home, man, it's been the most rewarding thing. I had a neighbor who was hurting who I never met and I was. I was bold enough like you to like listen to God. I was like really in a rush and I had to leave. And I just heard that like little nudge. And I said, hey, what's your name? And she was so, she was so kind, but she was so broken.

Yeah. And she was so lost. And she had no. And I thank God. I, like, I've let her into my home and we've prayed. And I, and she's getting saved. Wow. And there's healings taking place.

And I'm just, and just like, and we all can do that, right? We all can make our homes, this place where we serve others and we love others and not just Bible studies, but healings can take place. Like, God wants to do this through us. He wants us to have these gifts. It's insane what's happening. And it's not always convenient. It's not always, it's not like. What's an inconvenience you faced?

Well, you know, I was really exhausted on my birthday. I had a long week and I was going to have people over just to kind of have cake and listen to music and chill. And I had, I brought everyone to my house and it turned into a ministry night. It turned into a complete ministry night. I mean, we were praying on people till three in the morning. And that wasn't easy. I was really exhausted. Like that wasn't something, I was like, Like, I'm going to be honest, I was like, I don't want to do this right now. Like, I don't want to sit and pray and then cry. Yeah. But so it's not always convenient to be sacrificial. It takes practice to be like to put people before yourself because we're human beings. And sometimes we just want to like do our own thing and go our own way. Can I just read this one scripture in them?

I have been, it's so crazy because I've read Corinthians twice. I'm back in Corinthians reading it for a second time. And I am now just completely infatuated with the life of Paul, the way he didn't just preach, but he served. He loved his people. He wrote them letters. He was like, like it cost him everything. Yeah. But he just loved his people.

I mean, he would be like beaten and bruised and in prison. And all he would say was like, I love my beloved people. I miss you. Like he would write people letters. And it was all about connection for him. He wasn't just about preaching. And I'm just, I'm so admired by Paul. Yeah.

And we should all be like Paul. But Paul writes, when I am weak with those who are weak, I share their weaknesses. For I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find a calming ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some i do everything to spread the good news and to share it and its blessings don't you realize that in a race everyone runs but only one person gets the prize so run to win all athletes are disciplined in their training they do it to win a prize that will fade away but we do it for the eternal prize so i run with purpose in every step i'm not just shadow boxing i discipline my body like an athlete

training it to do it as I should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others, I myself will be disqualified. This should be the mission for all of us. And like, you have to discipline yourself and train yourself to sacrifice and to put others before you. For some people, it's just not natural. And that doesn't make you like, like we talked about this with some people. Like some people have the gift of empathy. Some people have the gift. And that's okay. But. I don't know. I just, for me, like one of the ways that I trained myself and I would say recently that I disciplined myself was that moment, was that moment where I could have kept relying on my emotions, kept sitting in depression, kept just like in that pity and victim mode. But I've disciplined myself to say, no, I'm not going to sit in this. I'm going to sit down with the Lord. I'm going to be honest with him. I'm going to cry out. I'm going to call my people. I'm going to have them pray for me. I'm going to be vulnerable. I'm going to keep talking about what's going on. I'm not going to sit in my emotions.

And through that, like that's discipline. It's crying out. It's like, and then listening to God instead of relying on your emotions, rolling up your sleeves, going to serve. Like, that's what discipline is. Yeah. And so, yeah. And then one more thing, I'll just say, like, sometimes you have to really meet people where they're at. Life is all about seeing a need and meeting it.

That is what I always come back to because it's the most important thing that we can do as believers is to demonstrate the love of Jesus through the way that we care for other people. And different people need different things. And it's not always preaching them a sermon. Sometimes it is buying groceries for them. Sometimes it is helping them move into their home. Sometimes it is just sitting on the phone with a friend and listening to them and not pushing necessarily your beliefs on them right away.

Sometimes it is just being there for people, playing the long game with people, being like, yeah, they don't fully get it yet. They're not following Jesus. They're not there, but there is healing in just me being there for them. And the whole mission of Jesus was to bind the brokenhearted and to set the captives free. And so I truly believe if Jesus did it, we're meant to do it. So our role in the kingdom is to continue on the work of Jesus, setting the captives free, binding the brokenhearted, which means binding their wounds, patching up their wounds, bringing healing to their hearts, and setting captives free. So praying for freedom, praying for deliverance, looking at someone being like, hey, you're in the middle of addiction, and you don't have to live your life like that anymore. Let me lay hands on you and pray.

Laying hands on people and praying for them is the call of God. on our lives. You should be praying for people all the time. Your first instinct should be to pray for people if somebody calls you. And sometimes they might not even want you to pray. Guess what? That's okay. Even if you get rejected, it's not a big deal. But I'm going to say nine times out of 10 times, if not 10 times out of 10 times, nobody neglects prayer. Like nobody rejects prayer. So calling people and listening to them and being like, let me pray for you really quick. Let me pray for you. Being the person who prays being the person who says hey i got your back in prayer right now you can't pray for yourself let me pray for you um i love this verse in isaiah 58 verses 6 to 8 is not this the kind of fasting i've

chosen to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke to set the oppressed free and break every yoke is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wander with shelter, then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear. So the light of Jesus will break forth when we sit with people, share our food, and provide shelter to people, and his healing will quickly appear. There's so much healing that takes place in serving people, not even like a miraculous moment of healing for someone, but in the serving. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard because serving others, especially the oppressed and needy, releases healing and brings

glory to Jesus. Acts of mercy literally invite his presence in. So, yes, the presence of God is in a corporate worship setting where we're loving Jesus and delivering a message and doing an altar call. But the presence of Jesus, the abiding presence of Jesus, that comes with us as we go. That's what the abiding presence is. The abiding presence of Jesus shows up. when you love somebody.

Isn't that crazy? The moment that you stop for someone and you say, you give him a helping hand, you're there for them, you pray for them. Even if you don't mention Jesus, but you provide shelter, food, money, like you do something for somebody else, especially self-sacrificially,

the presence of God shows up. So it's not just these big moments, these big ministry moments that the presence of God is there. I think he loves those, And it's not like an either or. But God is really involved in the everyday life. Oh, when you help his people. Yes.

And then I have this, Galatians 513 to 14th. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. We were called to be free. So if you're not free, you literally can't settle for that. I'm not fully free in some areas right now. And I know that it's the call of God on my life. So I have to get free. I have to let Jesus free me.

but do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh. Rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command. Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law is fulfilled when you keep one command to love your neighbor as you love yourself. I wrote down freedom in Christ expresses itself through serving others. Your freedom is evident when you serve other people. That kind of love brings.

freedom, deliverance from self-centeredness. We talked about that a lot today. And it fulfills God's heart. Like serving others is the perfect way to combat anxiety, depression, grief, self-centeredness, complaining, murmuring. And then last one, first Peter, verse chapter four, verse 10 to 11. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received. Because all of our gifts are different. Some people preach. Some people teach. Some people teach. Some people. Some people People, like, you know, are a gospel patron where they have so much money they can give it to people. Some people, like, whatever you do, use whatever gift you have received to serve others as

faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. So serving others is literally how God's grace flows through us. And so all I'll say is that Jesus came to bind the brokenhearted, set the captives free. Everywhere that we go, everything we do should have, we should have the awareness that that's what he's here to do because he's here on earth right now. Find the broken heart. It's set the captives free. How can I aid God in what he's already doing?

How can I be a participant, an active participant in what he's doing in the earth? And you open your eyes and you ask God, what are my gifts? How do you want me to serve? Yeah. Yeah. Like we all have gifts. I know that there's an evangelistic call on my life. I know that when I give someone the gospel and ask them to receive Jesus, right?

Like, I've had success. It's just, there's an anointing. There's a grace for that. It makes sense for me. You are a servant at heart where you open your arms and your home and people feel safe with you. And they can let down their guard with you. And they feel like, oh, my gosh, this is the love of Jesus displayed through this person. Like, that's your anointing to literally just be in something with someone so that they feel less alone,

amongst many other things. But, you know, so you find your gift, you ask God, what is it for me? Don't try to, I don't want to see what Ari does and then go try to be how Ari is. Ari doesn't need to see what I do and my gift and then try to be like me. That doesn't help anybody. What's your gift? And you can ask Jesus that and say, Lord, like, help me come empower me to step into the fulfillment of what my gifting is, how I've been called to participate in all of this. Oh, that's so good.

That's so good. Yeah. you said it there it's yeah I can't tell you guys how much joy I have been in in the past I'm overflowing with the Lord yeah you are I have been I have just been like my I there is no room for complaining because of the serving and the getting in the dirt and rolling out I know sometimes it's not easy but boy is it the most rewarding thing and And in the Lord, I feel it. I feel in the Lord's delight more than I ever have.

And so if you're someone who is still waiting on a promise that God hasn't given you yet, you're still in this thing where like, oh, like, I just want this thing so bad. Take the time while in your waiting to not wait around and go serve with all your heart. Because when you look at the life of Jesus, he was never about himself. He was roaming around with his eyes open, seeing healing, doing your life. miracles, even when he was tired, all he did was serve others. When you look at the life of Paul, he says in scripture, he says, I don't do what's best for me, but I do what's best in the life of others that they may be saved. Imitate me as I imitate Christ. Let's all try to do that.

Let's be reminded of that. I'll just read a couple of scriptures. The generous will prosper. Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. If you are in a hard time right now, let me tell you the refreshment that you will feel how much you will prosper when you stop thinking so much about yourself. Brokenness, grief, it heals helping others. Yes. Paul says, I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. Paul went from from chasing like power and all these things to then finding the love of the Lord

and then wanting to just lay his whole life down to give that to others. Like, that's, how admirable is that? We all as followers of Christ should be serving behind the scenes, as exhausted as we are, being like, send me anyway. Roll up your sleeves, pick up your mat. This is our message today. Pick up your mat and go serve people. Yeah, one more scripture.

And I just left Philippians 2, verse 3, do nothing out of selfish. ambition or vain conceit, rather in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests, but each of you to the interest of the others. I mean, this is the gospel. Unbelievable. Thank you, Jesus. This is literally the gospel. So when you are in a moment of, like, just completely thinking about yourself, be reminded that the gospel is about not thinking about yourself, but serving others. And then you know what happens when you do that? God will meet you and his timing. And that's when you will see the fruits of your life just completely unfold.

When you stop thinking about everything I want, want, want, and you start serving others, your life will seem like a miracle. Yeah. Because that's when God meets you when you help his people and you don't think so much about yourself. You live this message. I mean, this is the definition of preaching a message. that you live every day of your life. You inspire me so much.

You inspire me to be bold, to go out, to pray for people, to help people, to heal the sick. Imagine that we can go out and we can cast demons and heal the sick. Yeah, thank you, Jesus. Thank you. By the power and the authority given to us through Jesus, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Guys, honestly, we live in a world of,

I don't know. Boundaries are good, obviously, right? I just think boundaries at the expense of the gospel are not what God intended for us. I think you have to be careful with how extreme the boundaries are that you set. Boundaries are not supposed to be putting up walls around you for your own convenience and for your own comfort. I think the call of God on our lives is to be literally inconvenience for other people to self-sacrificially love. There's so much in my life, so many conversations that I have, so many phone calls that I have that, like, there are so many moments where I'm like,

oh, I really want to be alone right now. I really don't want to answer the phone. I really don't want to put out this fire. And there's a time for that if God is calling me to not answer the phone and he's like, you don't need to do that right now. But nine times out of ten times, like you go put out that fire. You go put yourself out for other. people. You go, you open your home. You let people, Ari and I have both let people stay with us when

we've had one bedroom apartment, studio apartments. They had to live in our beds. And it's awesome. And I'm not saying you have to do that, but that's the type of life that we're called to live. Like I've always wanted my home to be like a rehabilitation center for women. Like you're going through something, come to my house and Ari's the same way. Actually your house is that for sure. And so it's just like you put yourself out for other people. Listen to me. You put yourself out for other people. Not in a way that is a completely abandoning yourself, but selfishness has to go. Your personal comfort has to go in the name of Jesus. One more thing before we wrap up, I know that sometimes being generous with money can be difficult when you are a single woman or you're struggling or it's sometimes it's really hard. It's been even hard for me at times to be like, oh, can I give that? Like, you know. I can't tell you the fruits of being generous.

Even, you know, I go back to that woman who put one coin in the jar when she had nothing, but she gave that one coin and she was so greatly rewarded. And so give what you can. Maybe sometimes I know it's nice to have nice things and stuff, but after I was with those families, I thought to myself, what am I doing, getting all these things? when I could be helping families. So I don't know. It's just help.

God rewards you. Proverbs says one person gives freely yet gains even more. So give generously and you will be rewarded. I mean, don't, all I'm going to say is this, don't have your hands too much like this. God doesn't give you things for yourself. It's his. Everything's his. So let's all be followers of Christ with our hands open, ready to give, ready to buy someone
