The Hope Hotline | S03-E53 | 08-08-2025

real talk real talk real talk real talk real talk hello and welcome to the Hope Hotline and I don't know what I'm going to say but I just sat down on the seat. Thank you for joining us today. I am.

I'm on cloud nine right now. Hey. What's cloud nine? The hardest part of Christmas Eve service is officially done. That's wild because it is July. No, it's August. It's August. What's the hardest part?

Or can you not say? No, I can absolutely say. Thank you for asking that question, Vanessa. That is a great question. That is a great question. I do care. The hardest part about Christmas Eve service for me is coming up with the theme. Okay.

That was easy this year because before the Christmas Eve service actually took place, I knew pretty much what this year was going to be. That's cool. So I've already known for a little over a year what I was going to do this year. That right there in and of itself. is a beautiful thing. But the hardest thing is the songs. Oh, okay.

And, like, knowing the direction that the Lord wants them to go. Because every year has to be so different, right? Like, we've done the worshipful ones. We've done the throwback with a little bit of, old songs which is really sweet with a little bit of like with the throwback one that we did the retro christmas was so awesome because i could do like old-fashioned songs yeah christian and somebody's so awesome but it's hard because bless you it's hard because like every and then last year i had to do all different countries that was a hardy

I still haven't forgiven you, by the way. For Felice Navidad. She brings it up. She brings it up often. I'm just saying. Well, that's your fault for quitting. Remember what the Bible says. You quit on me.

You could have saying it, but you quit on me. I mean, no, that one. So you're like that, yeah. Well, it's because you're Mexican. And so Mexicans want to say. Feliz Navidad. Oh my gosh. All Mexicans want to sing Felice Navidad.

I'm Puerto Rican. I know. But I have to say it. Every time. I love the reason. Like, why are, are you a racist towards Mexicans? Right. Is that the problem here?

No. It's just like, I'm very, I have, I'm from Puerto Rico. Like, I love that I'm. You're proud of your Puerto Rican heritage. Yeah, I'm proud to be Puerto Rican, which is in the Caribbean. It's not even close. close to Mexico at all. So, you're Spanish speaking.

We just share a language. You all are, you all should like, like Asia, you should all just come together. Oh my gosh. Come together right now. Are we kicked off YouTube yet? Over Spanish. Why not? It's a lot easier for us like geographically and paramed.

people into like you all look the same so what does it matter we're gone i'm just kidding you do listen listen i just somebody just said that to me i was it clover pastor clover probably no i don't think it was her actually she's too nice uh even though she's got she's spicy uh she could she could she could say it and get away with it but somebody said something to me something about white people she goes you all they all you guys all look the same like that is true to certain to a certain extent absolutely true true I love it when people say crap like that I'm like it like it literally makes me laugh I love it oh where was I was in Massachusetts yeah oh yeah we the church that we were serving at everyone looked the same yeah really eyes blonde hair white skin well it's new hampshire

it was New Hampshire oh okay that's why it was just like well there's no sun there so they're all going to be pale literally looks the same and it was a finished culture so they're literally all blonde yeah every single one I was going to say Are there a lot of family? Are there is there a lot of family? Yeah. Well, if you go to a Ukrainian church here. Yeah, yeah.

It's no different. So. So Puerto Ricans, we come in all shapes. All sizes. All sizes. And all colors. That's so true. Yeah.

Good point. Not one Puerto Rican looks like the other. That's true. But you know what I like about Costa Rica? Is Costa Rica, nothing, I'm sorry. Okay. No, it's okay. It's not Puerto Rican.

It's not. Okay. But they're just making sure. But they're, but they're, But they're all, you guys are all the same. Oh, my. You know what? Costa Rica, like, they have blonde, blonde hair, blue eyes.

Some of them have blonde hair, blue eyes. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. Yeah. And I'm like, how is that possible? And how is that possible? Well, because they were conquered by the Spanish. Spain.

Okay. Like Spain, if you go to Spain, everyone's blonde hair, blue eyes. Really? Yeah. Yeah. So my DNA. Are you kidding me? No. And so my DNA, like we did 21 and me, whatever. Yeah. My, my ancestors are Portuguese, Spanish, mainly Portuguese and Spanish. And then a little bit of indigenous Puerto Rican because the Spanish, like, we're there and conquered Puerto Rico at one point. That's interesting. yeah so indigenous comes from my mom's side of the family they're dark skin dark hair dark

eyes and then my dad's side of the family a lot of my cousins are like blonde blue eyes and white skin and so i came out kind of in like a mix of both that's wild i know it's pretty crazy i love that though i when i saw this costa rican girl that was blonde hair blue eyed i was like yeah so I know like she's beautiful but I see I think Hispanic people are like they haven't got they got everything going on for I know right they got the color you got the brown skin yeah yeah which God bless you know yeah you got you're like the the perfect storm yeah perfect storm I like great hair yep great color tone yep I don't know necessarily physique because everybody comes in different sizes and short sizes.

But literally, you've got, like, the complexions are usually, like, it's perfect. Yeah. Everybody wants something that can't have. What freaks me out are the blonde, blue-eye Mexicans. True. Like, it does not compete in my brain. I don't think I've ever seen that. Have you ever seen a telenovela?

I don't even know what that is. Yeah, like a soap opera, a Spanish soap opera? No. Most of the characters are Mexican, but they're like. Like, blondes, like light skin, blue eyes. One of my friends, she was El Salvadorian, and like she used to watch those soap operas. She's like, watch it so you can learn my language. Because I had a lot of friends from El Salvador in D.C.

It's super like, it's not like in Maryland, there's like a lot of people from El Salvador. And like, which is also just the coolest culture. like it's so those people went through some you know what and back holy moly there are some strong people but um like she would try to get me to watch like her soap operas so i can learn the language i'm like listen girl i felt spanish and soap opera ain't gonna help me oh man it's hard it is that's how geoffrey's step mom learned English. What? From soap operas?

From soap operas. That's crazy. That does work. Oh, good job. Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah. She did not.

And Jeff, like he was about, what, 9, 10 when she came into the picture. And he was no help. Like he was teaching her English and he would lift up like a cup and say, banana. Banana. he did not yes he did yes he did that's me oh my gosh yeah she has the wildest stories about jeff he never he still does wild stories i found another one on wednesday about your mom oh my gosh one of the teenagers yeah that were in my house while i was away yes he was like

oh i was at i was over at your house and your husband you know was there and like you're made i met your cleaning lady i met your cleaning lady and i'm like what are you talking about i don't have a cleaning lady who was that and then he's like and then he was like oh she was old like an older woman a little dark skin i'm like that's my mom did jeff say that that was the cleaning lady yes are you kidding me and we're all like we're like who the heck was in her house while she was gone yeah he had my mom come over the day before i was supposed to come home and clean the house so that when i walked in it didn't look like a wreck which is nice

and then he told them but also he told oh this is my cleaning this is my cleaning lady he is such a brat and you know he didn't laugh or anything because the kid had no idea

he had no idea he's like oh yeah I'm at your cleaning lady oh my gosh that's not cool he's such a brat he is he's so me to her

all the time I got to tell her at least you know At least your dad's not around because he might beat him to a pulp. I don't know. My dad was gone, long gone a long time ago. Holy moly. Like, I was just, if Tommy did that, well, Tom probably would laugh.

Let me, I was about to say Tom would be like, don't you say that about your mother. I know. But actually, he probably would laugh at Tommy and be like, that was pretty clever. Here's the thing with Jeff. Like, if he's giving you a hard time, he loves you. He loves you. Oh, yeah. If he does not give you a hard time, you're on his, you know.

Pooh-poo list. Exactly. Your mom's always laughing at him. True. All the time. Like, she just loves it. That's their, that's their relationship. Every time I see them, they're both hating on each other.

True. And they think it's so funny. True. Isn't that how it started? Family. Family. Yeah. They've known each other longer than I have known.

Right. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Didn't he like work? He was my mom's intern. Right. And he gave her a hard time then. What?

Yes. Yeah. Uh-huh. Is that how he met you? It still hit your mom? And so then I, she came to pick me up once and they were together. And you were like five. And then ever since he saw me, he started calling my mom, Suegra, which means mother-in-law in Spanish.

And she was like, you better stop it. You would. Sure enough. Oh, my gosh. He did. My gosh. He did. I know.

That's crazy. Uh-huh. And the Lord has none of work. her because she used to give him the middle finger all the time. Your mom did? Yes. Jesus has done to work. I love her. She doesn't do it anymore.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. But that was the way they probably showed love. Before Christ. Before Christ. This was during Christ. Oh, okay. So it wasn't showing love. Has she sat underneath Tom's ministry and found out that that feels convicted? under, you know, the right, the right leadership. She has fixed that. She's done to work.

She's going to work. Yes. People don't realize that. Like, it's not good. Yeah, true. I mean, it, like, it leads to ungodliness. It does. It does.

Uh-huh. But up north, it's such a different culture that it wasn't, it wasn't, like, frowned upon, really. It should have been if you read the Bible. Well, yeah. And plus, it doesn't matter the culture. Under the wrong leadership, like, you're not, you're not called on yourself. Yeah, you're not called on it. So, but, I mean, seriously, if you think about this, like, the way you speak defines you.

And it defines, it defines, it separates you from everybody. If you talk like the world, then how many is going to, how many, how are people going to know that you are different. True. That you're set apart. It's just like how God set people set apart the Nazarenes or the Nazarites, like Samson and John the Baptist.

And there were certain Nazarenes that, like, Nazarenes did not drink. And that's one of the things they weren't, like, Samson wasn't allowed to cut his hair, but on top of that, he wasn't allowed to touch any kind of, um any um alcohol so or anything fermented i should say so like when you think your language is the same way yeah like be set apart true true the same thing goes to for like gossiping too like if you and that that's another huge problem in in the church yeah like i'm just telling you like there are so

many churches that I grew up in, let alone so many churches that I have seen. And gossip is a thread of how that ministry is run. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All the while, it's 10. Exactly. I know. But it's a more acceptable. It's more powerful. It's more palatable. Is that a word? Mm-hmm. It might be. U.S.E. student? Very good. So, yeah, sitting under the right leadership matters. Being disciples matters.

Who you're disciplined by. Yeah, it matters. Like sometimes I hear people that will say, and I'm not a big mentor kind of person, but sometimes they'll use the term mentor, which they mean disciples. Sometimes people will tell you that they're being mentored by somebody or they're Discipled by somebody and I'm like I want to say run for your life Run for your life Yeah

Yeah I don't because it's not my place but True They wouldn't run for the life anyway fun enough I told them because they're so deep in and they believe Then you're you know you're causing a wedge but it's like holy moly true i gotta learn the hard way sometimes got on well that's me i used to be the same way had to learn the hard way i think she's not to go that way anymore thank you thank you i just heard somebody say that on a podcast they're like yeah that's just

who i am i have to learn the hard way and i'm like she's older than me and i'm like maybe don't say that anymore like it's fine obviously back in the day if that's how it was but like because you're immature and you're stupid don't keep saying that right but as an adult yeah don't learn the hard way. And actually as a believer, right. The Bible tells us not to do that. Yeah. So if you're a Christian and you're a seasoned Christian and you say that you still have to learn the hard way, like, I'd love to know how much you commune with the Lord and how much you read his word, or how seasoned you really are. Right. Because how you can believe that philosophy is accurate, it's not biblical. Right. Because if you're learning the hard way,

that means there's been like little things along the way that you probably should have like, no, you know what I mean? Like there's always this thing where you're like moving towards something and something stops you and you're like, no, I'm going to keep going. Like how, like that has to like quench the Holy Spirit. Yeah. You know. Well, if the older will teach the younger,

then there's somebody out there that you, everybody should be under somebody's tutelage or accountability. I mean, I don't care how old you are. I'm 58. Right. I'm not an island in and of myself. Like I am, I take counsel from certain people. And when they tell me to do certain things,

even if I don't want to do it or I don't like it, and I know that I might be wrong, that my way might be wrong, I steer the way of that individual only because usually they're older or if they're not older than me, they've already done something like what I'm talking about. And I'm like, you don't, you don't really know what you're doing. And God really hasn't told you to do it this way. So maybe you need to listen to these people because God may have put them in your life because they've already walked this path. You need to listen to them.

That's a great way to look at it too, is to like, okay, I don't know and God hasn't told me yet. Like those are two great checkpoints before you just be like, well, I don't know. They don't know either. Like just throwing things to the wind. But if you don't know and God hasn't told you yet, like those two things, that's a really great way to kind of filter that. Yeah. Yeah. Because sometimes people are wrong or even if it was a certain way for somebody. Right. If God's told you to do it, then you should ignore them. Right. So good point to that. At least it should confirm. Like if God already told you what I usually

tell at Abide, we always tell the girls. Like if you're seeking counsel from somebody, first you should be going to God and then he should tell you something and then they should be confirming it. And if they're not confirming it or going the exact opposite of what you said and other people are confirming it, then you have to kind of gauge like where that person is as well. And you don't just throw them out, but you say like, okay, they've got it wrong like five times now. And so maybe I won't go to them for guidance. And then obey quickly. Oh my gosh, please. Yeah. Don't delay it because delayed obedience is disobedient. I know. Like when when the Lord says something. Right. And then he confirms it. Yeah. Don't overthink it. Right.

Just do the thing. And it's hard to learn the wrong way when you're obedient right away. Because you didn't mess it. Right. Exactly. You're not overthinking it. You're not, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. And sometimes people are a hot mess. So you, you shouldn't listen to them anyway. Yeah. Your favorite thing, or the favorite, the thing that you say that I love the most is what you told Pastor Tom forever ago is like they're giving you advice, but would you want to live their life? Like if you had to like step outside, live their life.

If you don't appreciate the way they live their life, why would you take advice from somebody like that? Be a fruit inspector. Yeah, because he used to get so, like if somebody said something to him, like they would like critique things and had an opinion on something. And he'd be just like, it would really like play with his mind. Like he'd be like, maybe I'm wrong. Right.

Like maybe. maybe they're right right right and I'm sitting there going wait a minute brow but I literally I do I would say to that or if he'd be like if I don't know they were critiquing something I'm like look at their fruit true if you wouldn't want to if you wouldn't want to live their life right don't listen to them right right and and that doesn't mean that that doesn't mean that if they're successful and financially stable because even that doesn't mean that you want to live their life. Right.

Because just because they have money. Right. Do they have peace? Yeah. And what's their family life look like? There's so many ways to fact check something. If you actually, or fruit check, I guess I should say, before you just take somebody's advice.

Never listen to somebody, if they're a male especially. Women. A lot of times, a lot of times, People, families want to give advice to lots of women are either divorced or single moms or just single, and they don't have children or whatever. And you'll have nice families, like, want to give people advice, like just young girls or whatever. Never listen to anybody who doesn't hold down a job, and he's in a guy, and he has a family. Never listen to them, never listen to their counsel, never pay attention to them. ignore them because they don't have the the very first thing that should be first is not first in

their life so they shouldn't be giving counsel to anybody until that first thing gets first which is taking care of your family because the Bible says you're worse than an infidel a man who doesn't take care of his home do you know what an infidel is is somebody who is a sinner right that it says yep and people literally think that they can live off the government or the wife they don't work but they have lots of advice and they know lots of things. And I'm like, why don't you take that and find a job and then talk to me? Yeah. It's crazy.

But they're quick to give advice to everybody. I'm like, you are considered a sinner as far as God's eyes are concerned. Yeah. Because you don't take care of your family. I don't know anybody like that. Am that crazy? They attend here. They must not be in my circle.

They are not. But like growing up. up like that it's there's some verses that never like I'm like why do you even question that that verse like that you wouldn't take care of your family that's wild to me of course it's worse a product of that yeah crazy they're out there I know I believe it it's just one of those verses and then not like and not being saved like having to like finish their race like being eternally secure that was another verse like people would bring that up to me like how do you believe that I'm like how do you not believe like that's another verse it's in the Bible

Right, but I never question, like, I don't know. That's how I believe it. There's two, yeah, there's two verses that I'm like, how is this even an argument? Yeah. I know. Interesting. I know. If you don't work, if you don't have a job, go get a job.

And actually, Jara and I just did, we were at Sarum's Hub last night, Virtuous. I heard some of the things. Yeah, me too. And I was, and we just shared our story. And we talked about entrepreneurship. And not everybody's called to own a business, but there are things that talent that you have that you could even do a side hustle and it won't take away from what you're doing it'll add too or just encourage your husband to go out and take those risks but yeah that was that was a fun one

it is a huge one yeah being a support mate that is huge there were there were years yes especially in the very beginning when jeff was launching his own business where he was working like 12 hour days and I was like a single mom right at that point yeah and never once did I nag right never once was I giving him a hard time and that makes a huge difference huge difference yeah you take yeah you take the pressure off of him so that he could focus on the very thing that he feels like god's telling him to do for his family well and they come home to a peaceful home not one like hey and i even said this to the girls last night i'm like i never was like it's five o'clock where are you like i expected to be home for dinner yeah like i didn't i never did that to him and um and he loved coming home like he actually

hated going and i was like i know but you have to go work he's like i know but i want to be home I'm like, I know, but it was just that piece that he had in the home. And there were, I mean, there was days he worked 21 hours. Like, he literally left at 4 in the morning and came home at, like, one at night or something like that was some crazy hours. And he worked so hard. And I was a single mom for a little bit when my last marriage failed. And I truly felt the same in both seasons of life.

Like, I always felt bad saying, like, I kind of feel like a single mom, but like, I actually experienced that. And it is very similar when you have a husband that is working. Yeah. And building a business. It's so funny because a lot of women would, like, if you put it in a different thing, like if their husband was like a president of a company. Right.

Then they kind of would be like, well, that's his job. Or military. But let them be the owner of the company trying to, or a person that's trying to build a company. And they're like, hello. Right. It's like it's a different mentality. One is because they're not seeing the money. They're not seeing the fruit of the hard work yet.

Right. So it's kind of like, this is a waste of time. Anything worth anything takes hard work. Right. Yeah. And it's like usually has small beginnings. Yeah. But that's the grind.

That's all the time. Yeah. The grind is like where it's at. If you're going to like, you can work for the man and grind or you can work for yourself. True. And grind. And you. it either way.

It is. Yeah, but one's way more profitable than the other. Way more profitable. And there's flexibility at some point. At some point, you hire people and then you're not doing everything. It just takes, you have to turn that corner at some point. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing.

But I heard good things about your, that I heard really good things. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, and Sam was super happy. I know. I was happy that she invited us. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. So that's, her hub is really great.

She has all different people come in. Yeah, it's different every time. Different every time. Sometimes it's just her cooking or whatever, but it's always really good. Yeah, once a month. What is that? It's always once a month. Yeah, first Thursday.

Just for the ladies. It's awesome. Just for the ladies. Super awesome. So, okay, I guess we're now 30 minutes in. The only thing I think you really need to do is just the fearless end. Okay. Because the rest of it's too late.

Mm-hmm. Love it. Um, tell me about your TikTok thing. Okay, so I was scrolling and a live popped up. And there are people who have solely devoted their TikTok page to catching predators, child predators in Snapchat. Nope. Count me out. What does that mean?

So they make up a fake account on Snapchat. They find people in live, like on a live chat. They bring them over to Snapchat. and they have voice filters and they have video that look like girls and then they convince them they tell them they're like 15 13 years old they convince them to get on Snapchat they convince them to get on and say stuff and then they send the username to whoever's watching on TikTok and then the people watching like me would connect with local law enforcement and people are getting arrested because of it are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

no this is brilliant brilliant and so and like almost hope almost every time it works it's like insane like they'll go into i think it's like ogley or something like that i don't know but it's a live chat they'll go in and they'll just say they're young they'll find and if they go in and somebody else says they're 16 they just leave that chat they go to another one and then they find somebody that's like older and then they bring them into snapchat and then they continue the conversation and they play like truth or dare and then they get them to say stuff that's very inappropriate and then once they do that then they put their username out and then everybody that's watching the live stream will go and like tell them like basically you're screwed and then they go to the and they the guys are

able to find out like where they live who they work for they've gotten um they've gotten teacher psychologists um they've gotten somebody in law enforcement law enforcement even yes yeah which i mean I know, I know you're not. But how did that person not know that's what's going on now? I think they were young. I think it was a young guy because one of the ones I pulled in, like, later, and they had said in his actual TikTok, it's usually alive, but sometimes they'll post things on their TikTok too. And it said, like, just so you guys know, we ended up getting this guy. He has a court case in the month from now.

Wow. Send me that thing. I will. I want to see that. There's a bunch of them because now that I've watched one, now all the lives show up. Like, I love that's happening. but I know it's so hard but then I'm like to even like know that that's the world that we live in I know it's bad that literally happened to me so why is this microphone so low I hate that

pull it up um so on my cheer team what it happened to one of my girls like on my cheer team like I cheered with her um was it in Snap yep okay one of the little kids dads was texting one of my friends on Snap acting as a 13 year old boy And he was coming to the gym every day. Nobody knew that he was on Snapchat as a 13-year-old boy. He's on cheerleaders 24-7. And he was texting one of the girls on my team and making her do things. And they ended up catching him.

And, like, he's in jail now. But it was, everyone found out, and it was crazy. Because he came to the gym, like, everyone saw him every day. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I know. So he had, like, a three-year-old daughter, like. Ugh.

I know. It was crazy. now that's insanity yeah that's insane people do the craziest things I'm like what are you do get a job yeah like what are you doing and they usually do like he usually does it late at night on Sundays they just caught someone in Charlotte County who is an EMT doing the same thing probably I saw it yesterday I post on Facebook are you kidding me no I'm not I'm trying to look it up now That's my new favorite thing. Because every time I'm like, yes.

And then sometimes they get spooked because, okay, so they have a decoy too. So one of them has a girl that's older, but she looks younger. And so she'll do the video. She won't like, she won't like talk and stuff, but she'll send like videos and stuff of just her face so they can prove that like she looks younger. And on Snapchat, there's ways to do things on the desktop version. that are more like sneaky, but they have like a mic like this and they have a voice changer.

So they literally get on like voice, FaceTime on Snap and he talks to them like this, but it sounds like a girl. So one of them, he was changing the sound and he asked everybody like, which one sounds the best and then everybody like picked which one. I'm just a viewer,

but everybody's like, you know, saying which one sounds the best. And then when he got on, it didn't sound right. It sounded very, you know how you and I like went through the AI stuff? Yeah. And some of them were so bad.

Well, when he got on with a guy, he was like and they were talking and it sounded you could tell you could 100% tell and the guy got off and the guy got off because he knew it and then blocked her her him and then we're everybody in the chat's like no it sounded fake but like he was they were definitely going to get this guy he was committed I know so um sometimes there's letdowns but but then you know this username so like you like they can still go on um all of us can go on and like go to snap and be like you're a disgusting person because everybody loves that stuff and then they send them all that terrible stuff i'm not on snap does that matter no for this no okay that's what i thought

just making sure this is yeah unless you want to talk crap no i have no i know that's crazy i know okay you know the other thing is that that other thing that you sent me from amazon when you go to the amazon no whole foods oh yeah palm recognition which what palm recognition. People are buying their food from whole foods and Amazon. Yep. With hand recognition. Yeah. I was like, is there a chip in that? And you guys realized. At first when I saw the video, I thought it was a chip. And I was like, oh, no. Get behind me, Satan. Not today. Yeah. Yeah. But it's just that like I told you guys, it's the dumbing down so that when it is the chip, people will be like. No one's surprised. It's right. It's like, oh, we've been doing this already. Yeah. They don't even notice.

The video is the girl to buy her food instead of using her debit card or like cash. She sticks her hand over this like a scanner, if you will. And she sticks her hand over it and it reads her hand and it buys her grocery. Yeah. Thank you. That's a great way to describe it, Vanessa. Like face recognition. It's like that for your hand.

Or the thumb, remember when we used to do our thumb. for phones which I never did but a lot of people did the thumb for phone recognition that's just like what this is but now you're buying your groceries like this and it's the right hand did you notice she used her right hand yes I did because that's why at first I was like it's not a chip yeah that's the reason why I said is it a chip because I was like she's using her right hand so it's like literally yep but if you think about that face recognition finger recognition now hand recognition It'll be the same thing. They're conditioning.

They're conditioning. So your face recognition because of your forehead and then your hand for the chip. Great. I mean, it's all a process of just chipping away, chipping away, chipping away until it's like, oh, okay, I've done that. I've done, it's not a big deal. And they've done this for years. Oh, yeah. They've been working their way to this.

Propaganda in like World War II. They were conditioning the people to already hate the Jewish people. Yeah. Through a series of different things. And then they had to wear the star And to identify the Jews That was before the concentration camps And then next came the persecution of the Jews after that

And so it's just a series of conditioning So that when it does happen Like they're like What's the big deal? Right, right. Yeah This isn't a big deal And that's what they do

It's not good Right It's not good at all Are you trying to find that video? No, I'm changing our title to our name Now we have some topics. Do we have topics? Oh, we do.

And I think I got to burp because my Red Bull. Okay. But I'm going to fight it. I'm going to muddle through. Okay. This question is, and I'm really sorry to the people who have asked these questions and I have not

gotten to them. You might not be watching anymore. Truth be told, because these are from June or July. Okay. Well, we've been on vacation and we've taken some time off for different stuff and that's just, and we've talked about a lot of different other things. We have. True. And betweensed all of that and had guests. So I'm sorry, but I'm finally getting to it. Yeah, here we go. So whether or not you're watching or not, I'm still answering the question. It says, can you please elaborate and explain living water? So I'm going to give you a literal meaning, okay, because I had to look it up. In biblical times, so the literal meaning for living water is in biblical times.

Living water referred to fresh, flowing water, such as from a spring, stream, or river, as opposed to stagnant or collected water like in a cistern. So this kind of water was highly valued and it was clean, pure, and life-sustaining. which, I mean, the living water, a lot of times we refer to Jesus as the living water. He referred to himself as that he could provide living water to the woman at the well. The Holy Spirit is also considered living water. So let's look at Old Testament time. So we're going to look at the symbolic and the spiritual meaning in the scriptures,

but we're going to go to the Old Testament first, which Jeremiah 213 and the New Living Translation says, for my people have done two evil things. They've abandoned me the fountain of living water. So God referred himself as the living water. And they have dug for themselves cracks cisterns that can hold no water at all. So God, like I just said, he referred himself to living water. It says that he's the one who sustains life and gives true satisfaction, and the people had turned from him to rely on worthless living idols. That's what that scripture is specifically pertaining to. Then we look at Jesus and the Samaritan woman,

which is what I was just talking about, the woman at the well, which is John 4.10, and the new living translation, it says, Jesus replied, if only you knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me,

and I would give you living water. So this scripture was specifically talking about because the people had turned from him to rely on worthless things like idols. So at that particular time, a lot of like a lot of the places that the Romans especially were into idols but like the Moabites had idols a lot of other cultures um that were around even the Jewish people though they had idols if you look at um at different times I mean for crying out loud they come down

off the mountain with Moses up on the mountain for 40 days making the Ten Command and they come down there's a golden calf there's like a whole golden calf so but a lot of the a lot of the like when paul went through i can't remember what town that was but it it was um oh it was roman if i remember right but remember when he went and he was preaching and teaching and he was talking about uh he was getting so many people one to the lord that people stopped making uh people stopped buying all the idols and the blacksmiths and people like that they were like he's putting us out of business like our money like they were more worried about their business than they were worried about like speaking the truth so literally

they were like get rid of him get rid of him because that they there were so many idols being made that it was a it was a it was uh the business owners were like get him out of our town yeah ephesus thank you so thank you for that gosh i love when i can't remember stuff but thank you so jesus used living water as a metaphor for eternal soul satisfying soul satisfying life for himself and that's what he was talking to her she went she wanted physical water she wanted the tangible water but what he is saying is i can give you something that's life sustaining an eternal, which is far more important. So although she thought he meant something else.

She thought she would, like, she had to come to get water every single day. So she was thinking, oh, I don't have to come down here every day. And he's like, totally, that's, you know, like, that's how people live their lives, though. Yeah. They don't look at things spiritually speaking. They look at things in the natural. and God is like or Jesus or whoever you pray to

God Jesus, Holy Spirit doesn't really matter in my opinion at the end of the day. They're all good but they always who you know if it's the Holy Spirit he's like that's not what I'm talking about you know it's like we live

such carnal lives that we can't think spiritual. True. I think of Nicodemus and he's talking to Jesus and Jesus is telling him about you know you've got to be born again And he's like, what do you mean? I can't go back into my mother. I can't go back into that womb.

But really, that's how most of us live. We take in so much world all day long that when the Lord, when you go to him and you pray to him and he's trying to tell you something, you're thinking in the carnal way and he's trying to tell you in the spiritual realm. You can't understand it because you don't live in the spiritual realm. You live in the worldly realm.

True. And he's like, hard head. Hello. Yeah. Trying to get through to you. Uh-huh. Doesn't pay. True.

Doesn't pay to live in that world. Yeah. Get in the spiritual realm. John 14. 14 says, but those who drink the water I will, those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh bubbling water within them, giving them eternal life. How awesome is that? And now I would say to you, is that you? Like, do you have a bubbly?

spring within you if you don't you need to make it happen because that's it says right after that giving them eternal life so having the living water and having a bubbling spring within you signifies that you have eternal life and that would be the Holy Spirit that Jesus was referring to that with him like for me when you have the Holy Spirit when you have the Holy Spirit Spirit it does feel like you bubble over sometimes like you can't contain it you can't contain sometimes the boldness that comes with being filled with the Holy Spirit to just sometimes it is even like if you're got the gift of prophecy like if the Holy Spirit gave you a word for somebody and you become where you're not scared to give that word because you know at first

when you first get the gift of prophecy you're like kind of scared because you're like am I wrong about this am I right about this even still doing it for so long after a long period of time there are times you're like is this right because like this does it like you know the person you may be going and speak to you know you may not know their life circumstances but the outer shell of them and what God's giving you don't match up with the outer shell So you're like, oh my gosh, this is such a flipping risk. This cannot be right. I'm like going to have egg on my face.

And so it does still happen. But if you get a word for somebody and you've been doing it for a while, then you really feel like I cannot contain this. 100%. Like it is bubbling over. Oh, yeah. It happened to me. One of the last Sunday I was here.

And I couldn't not do it. And I was like, no, I'm just going to wait. And I like couldn't. I had to go and tell them. And then I got confirmation after confirmation after confirmation. And then you don't know how they're going to receive it either, especially if they're a new believer, but you just have to take the risk. And you have to trust that God will work in their hearts even if it's a hard work, which it was. You're obedient.

He'll do the rest. I mean, you just got to believe it. And it feels so good. Like once you do it, you're like, ah. The weight is off. Yeah. Yeah. And it's so good.

Because who else is going to tell them? Like, if they can't hear the Holy Spirit as well or whatever. And they're trying and then you go and you do the one thing God asks you to do. Like that's not delay in your obedience. Yeah, so good. Yeah, it is so good. It's amazing. It really is.

It's such good stuff. And if you're not going to do it, he's going to call someone else who do it. That is going to do it. And then you've got to live with it. And you do. And there's times where like you're supposed to pray for somebody and you don't. And then you go home and you're like, why? And then you think about it and you think about it.

And you're like, and then you have to apologize to God. Well, that's the thing. Like, you do it enough that when you don't do it, you know, like, you've done, you, after a while not being obedient, I just know for me, like, there were, there's been several times that, like, when the Lord's told me to do something and I was like, I'm not doing that. I'm not comfortable with that or I don't think that that's right. I think I'm missing you on this or whatever. And then you don't do it. The aftermath of not doing it is far. worse than having egg on your face. Right. I'd rather be wrong and have been obedient than not be and have to deal with the disobedience. That's where I am. It's like, forget it.

It's not worth it. I'll look like an idiot. Like that one time when I had to talk to when I was praying and the Lord prophetically told me to say that to Katie before I started speaking. Do you remember that time? I did not want to do it. I was fighting everything within me because I'm like, Like, I thought, like, I, I thought she was pregnant.

I mean, I thought there was a good chance that I was wrong. Yeah. And I, like, I was like, oh, my gosh, I do not, because it's going to be like, you don't know what the heck you're talking about. And it was in front of everybody. And it was in front of everybody. I don't know if you were there. It was in front of, it was last year's, last year's beloved conference, I believe.

It was last year. Last year at the beloved conference. And I had to open up with, the Lord was like, I want you to open up, or he told me, like, I want you to tell her this, like, while I was worshiping. I'm like, you think to yourself, I'll tell her later. And it's like, no. Did you say from the microphone? Yes.

Because I had to do it right before I started. Yes. I want you to tell her this. That's what happened when I went to basically get on the mic. Like, he told me during worship. He kept talking, bringing her face and kept telling me. And I'm like, no way. And then it was like, I want you to tell her now.

And I'm like. And you know if you didn't the whole time you were preaching. I'd been miserable. It would have been, you would have had to stop at the point anyways. And I like, I'm like saying to my, I'm saying like to help relieve myself from whatever's going on in my mind. I'm like, does this make sense to you? Because I'm like, please God say yes. Yeah.

So I feel better. Yeah. Yeah. I do that a lot though anyway. I've been in the bathroom during that one. Oh, my gosh. I'm just telling you. That was a rough one.

Because I do know, like, I do know, like, it's rough. But it's, then there's times, like, it's just a breeze. I know. It's just a breeze. I know. I like those. Me too. Yeah.

But you got to do it. Yes. Otherwise, the bubble goes. True. I don't want the bubbling to stop. Right. This in John 738 through 39 talks about the Holy Spirit as living water, which is, anyone who believes in me may come and drink.

For the scriptures declare, rivers of living water will flow from his heart. Which all of these things, like you should desire that living water flows from your heart. Like out of the abundance of the heart, the mouse speaks. So there should be a full. of the Holy Spirit flowing out of you constantly. The words that you say should reflect him. They should be him. They should be what he's declaring,

what he's telling you to share. Like, he dwells within you, so that should be what's coming out of you. Instead of so many times, what's coming out of us is junk, because it's like trash in, trash out. But rivers of living water she'll be flowing out of your heart that's so cool it really is it's like we are is that me talking to her

that's her that's her was that when i was talking to her holy moly yeah how in the world did you remember that because i knew because i i remember it like i was over on the other side where's Vanessa where's Vanessa I think you're right there you won't even paying attention no she wasn't paying attention yeah but there's katie and there's katie me talking directly to her yep I was like and she's crying Was she crying? I don't remember that. Look at her face. I can't see that far from her eyebrows.

Oh my gosh. I was like so, I was so scared. I literally was scared. Wait, what was the word? She was pregnant? Something along the lines that the Lord sees her. He knows the desires of her heart. And that it shall come to pass or something like that.

And I think Heather had told me that, that, that they were wanting to be pregnant so I was like okay this is probably the desire so I'm thinking in my head but you know let's let's me thinking like so I'm now but I've never asked her was that what the Lord was talking about

so I'm thinking to myself okay if the desire of her heart is to be pregnant and to have a baby and he's see and she's pregnant right now she might have been no she wasn't she wasn't yet

but then I'm like well then you're an idiot because it's already come to pass and you don't know what the crap you're talking about unless it's something else which it could have been something else but you start literally in your head you start thinking

you're trying to logically figure it out this is it and that's it and now if that's not it then you know then you're wrong about this like you got to get out of your head and you just got to be obedient But literally, that's what you do think.

You literally are thinking, I know she wants to have a baby. But what if she's pregnant? Right. Then you're wrong right now. Because it already has come to pass. And you look like an idiot. But, you know, who knows? I mean, at the time, it could have been something else that she was believing for.

I don't know. I never asked her, though. I should have asked her. I know. She'll be at the conference. Yeah, she will be. This year. Yeah.

Yes, she will. With that baby. with the baby with the promise with that well if that was it I should ask her I'm pretty sure it was

because she I asked um the abide chat for some testimonies and she was the first one to reach out and be like hey there's a couple people

that were believing to be pregnant including me and we had babies this year yeah I know yeah and yeah

that's wild sometimes though like I really wish like I wish that the Lord would tell me like he would specifically say like if somebody i know somebody wants to be pregnant i would really wish that he would tell me like tell them that they will be pregnant at this time next year

you know that would be nice or they will have a baby at this time next year it's never i've never gotten that i've always gotten like i feel very strongly that what you're believing for because i'll sense like god's going to answer that prayer yeah but he never tells me the other way it's always like what their what their heart's desire is I'm going to give it to them it's never like the other way around that would be flipping phenomenal if that happened to me that might be next that might be next level yeah like he's like do you trust me with this information because I feel like that's harder oh that's 100% harder the other the saying that you'll be pregnant next year would be way harder way harder way harder but I would love to be able to do that I know yeah

Me too. But I can't say that. That's a gift. That's a spiritual gift that we should all desire. Which I do have words of knowledge, but that has never happened to me before. I mean, I'd be willing to say it. It'd be kind of scary, but I'd be willing to say it. But like.

Especially when you get so acquainted with God's voice. Yeah. That when he says it, there is no doubt. Right. Because you are so familiar with him. and so you saying the word there's no fear attached because you're like that was him right i know his voice so well the way that i know my husband's voice like my husband could walk in this place and i don't even have to see him and if i hear his voice i know it's exactly

him right yeah that's how acquainted with god's voice or we should be with god's voice 100% it'll it removes the fear of operating in the gifts yeah i i And I usually wait until, like, it's, like, beating out of my chest. Oh, I know. That's my time. And I'm like, yeah. I start to sweat. I know.

I'm like, my heart is pounding. I'm a little faster now than that point. But I know, like, I have to, like, that urgency has to be there. Because I, because I don't want to lead anybody astray. And I always hope that they, it's just a confirmation for them. I hope that it's not brand new information. So this was, I think, a couple months ago. And it was a Sunday morning.

And Sunday mornings, I did, like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, in worship. I'm praying. I'm preparing my heart for the word that is going to be given. And so this one Sunday morning, he literally gave me the person that I had to pray for. And he's like, I need you to do this before service. And I'm like, okay. All right, Lord. If I need to pray for this person, I'm going to bump into that person. And if not, if I don't bump into that person, I'm not praying. I'm negotiating with God Almighty. I know. I was doing that this morning. what the heck Vanessa Vanessa and sure enough I never run into this person in the mornings

because usually I'm at the door I'm greeting I'm doing my thing I never run into this guess who I ran into that person that I had to pray over and lay hands on that's what you get for negotiating and that person was like actually thank you right I needed it right and I'm like of course he did of course he did I know he's so good he's still a good dad he knows we're still And he's so patient with me. He really is because he didn't have to do that for me. But he didn't. Wait, can we do like a whole podcast about like what the point of worship is?

Because I think that's really important. I've been to other churches and I really think that when you go into worship, they think it's like for entertain, like it's to be entertained. Yeah. Isn't that interesting? And don't wait till the first song to start preparing your heart. Right. Wake up in expectation.

Start preparing your heart from the moment that you, wake up on a Sunday morning so that when you enter in you don't have to be pumped up you're already pumped right and that's I think people are like coming in like all right hopefully it's a good song to get started like come in like partially like partially like midway right like who does that like that blows my mind yeah it would really help the worship team right for people to come in and be ready to worship and I think it's because I've been conditioned for years and years and years because I led worship for so long where right I did prepare my heart always because I was in a position where I had to lead,

but it has, like, it's been something that's carried on because it's, it's a habit that I've got into and it's, it should be everyone's, it shouldn't be a habit. It should be something that you do as, as like, well, it is a habit. A bot, yeah. And a sacrifice. And a lot of people don't, like, it should be a habit. You're absolutely right about that, Vanessa. It's a habit.

And habits happen, whether you are feeling the mood a lot of times. or don't feel in the mood. It's just a routine. Right. It's what you do. It's what you do. And I think people just don't know. Like, they weren't taught or they, you know, nobody explained what worship is and you

just go in and it's music and your favorite song plays and now you feel the feels and now you feel good. But like what's the point of worship is just to feel the feels for a second and then go and then go and listen to the word and then go home and then, you know what I mean? Yeah. I do. I think that would be a good podcast for, especially new believers. I saw a TikTok the other day and she was like,

you know, what if Jesus came down and told you, guess what? After you die, you just stop existing. Heaven doesn't exist. Would you still, like, would you still be a Christian and would you still follow him? Right. Like, because a lot of times Christians are believers so that one day they get to heaven and have a good life. But what if that element was removed? Would you still be a believer?

Would you still be a Christian? Yeah, I would. because yeah I know I would but for a lot of people I've already done the other yeah I've already done the other but a lot of people live their life for the hope of heaven yeah like heaven's good well yeah but the other ways the goal is for heaven on earth right for heaven to invade earth so we can have heaven now yeah but can you imagine like even if you didn't get to go to heaven and heaven wasn't here on the earth like i don't every my day to day is not like heaven is on earth it's not because there's there's still i have to deal with people who are dealing with sickness

illness and disease yeah true there's still there's still people who are like having to work through either different anxieties and and and things that are causing them depression homes that are dysfunctional are destructive. That even in the midst of all of that, for me, personally speaking, I've lived as though there was, I've lived as though I was going to hell, and I knew I was,

versus being a Christian knowing I can go to heaven, if you wiped out that there is no hell and there is no heaven, even if you wiped out both of those, eternal destinations, I would still live as though I am a Christian. Right. Because the peace, the peace that I walk in, like the other was complete chaos. Right. I mean, even if you're going out partying and you're having a great time every weekend and stuff like that,

in the midst of all of that, there's still chaos. Yeah. And there is an emptiness to it. Yeah. I just like I don't know I I would never I could never ever go back to that life I can never go back to that life and for me I never had a party season but for me but I did have a lukewarm season yeah I don't want to ever go back to that life yeah that's that would be rough too God wasn't a priority oh yeah I've I've lived that life you know like I don't ever want to go back to that yeah but even when God wasn't a priority for me, I still felt like, like I still didn't live a sinful lifestyle or anything like that when I had other priorities. I still didn't, sin was not even a part of my life. But even that is like not great. No, it's not. That's not great.

Because you know there's such a void. Like there is. The first, love is the void that makes it super hard because that what you put in that first love spot just can never fulfill that need true no matter who it is they can't fulfill that need right true so there's always like a level of dissatisfaction always always it's always yeah um i took this this to a whole another different place with this but But I'm going to leave it at that because the rest of what I have in here doesn't really talk about living water. I went into deeper things like, which is what we were talking about, gifts of prophecy and things like that. When you're living with the Lord being where you're bubbling over with the Holy Spirit, which is where I took it, there are gifts of the Holy Spirit.

You want to walk out those different gifts. And through those different gifts, you will see monumental things. And one of the things I addressed, and then I'm going to close out because we're seven minutes over. But one of the things is one of the gifts, you know, you have the gifts of healing, gift of prophecy, gift of faith, all the, so many others. And I remember last year somebody asked, like, what is the gift of tongues? like what was the gift that each me mags adalus and heather who was up there which one we all wanted it was so funny because all of us said the same exact thing and i thought that was weird

i was like this is weird i mean i knew why i said the gift of faith um but i thought it was weird that all of us wanted the gift of faith and then i started thinking about it like like all I already knew that the Lord had told me I have the gift of healing. So, like, I know that, like, and the gift of healing is not always, like, you're lay hands. Everybody can heal. Okay, so that doesn't mean that you have to have the gift of healing. But there are certain times that you will lay hands on the sick and you will see the miraculous come to pass.

And I have seen that. Then I already have the gift of tongues. I've already spoken in tongues for the body and then gave a message. So I had the gift of tongues. I have the gift of prophecy. But if I were to guess, Adalus has the gift of prophecy. I bet you she's already done the tongues. I started wondering, why did all of us do the gift of faith?

But then for me, I was like, one of the things that I, the gift of faith is so profound because, like, George Mueller had the gift of faith. And if you don't know his story, it's off the chain. Smith Wigglesworth had the gift of faith. So did Lester Somerall. Like there's a lot of people who did mighty things for the Lord. But the gift of faith is where you see,

you can see healings. You can see miracles. Like it encompasses everything, not prophecy in tongues, but it encompasses the miraculous. And so when you are, when you are, when you are, when you have,

living water flowing out of you, you will see all these gifts and they're significant. And the Lord didn't say we can only have one. We can't have them all. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all its righteousness and all these things will be added into you. You seek him and watch the gifts start pouring out and over you. You should know, like, what's the next one I want? And you should go after it. So chase after the living water. I love. this question what is living water well we just told you what it is now is is it in your heart is it flowing out of you is it bubbling up and out of you it should be your words that you speak show whether you have living water that exists inside of you and that you can offer it to somebody

and then they you can offer them the living water just like jesus did to the samaritan woman and then the holy spirit like you should be like it should be popping like popcorn that the Holy Spirit is just using you one gift after another. And once you get the one gift and you start operating in it, then you should be looking for the next one. And so let that, isn't that interesting, though, that everybody, did you ever, like, think about that that, that everybody said the same gift?

Isn't that weird? In the moment, I was like, huh. Yeah. And I wonder if it's because once you have the gift of faith, like everything flows through faith. Like, you need faith to operate in healing. Yeah. you need faith to like yeah for to prophesy even like to like all of it it's like

encompasses everything yeah it really is it encompasses everything and I thought to myself well if I have the gift of faith you've got it all I've got it all right I literally have thought that I'm like everybody that I've ever looked up to and said I want to do what they did they all had the gift of faith yeah they all had it and I think that's why Adalas because Zadalas is big on knowing your heritage, too, and knowing the people that have gone before you. And, like, Lester Summerall is one of her big people, too. And if you know any, like, and you know the mighty things that they did,

literally the man in faith left this country with like $7 or $20, no, $7 in his pocket and goes, and he goes to Europe and he changes the, he didn't even know. he teamed up with another man he didn't even know where that man that man just said I'll meet you over here but he didn't know where he was meeting him and Lester Somer will get off of a boat

the Lord would have told somebody to meet a man he'll be looking like this he would have these clothes on we didn't tell him his name go and meet this man on this day at this time, at this location, and telling him to go to the next location. That guy that he was supposed to be teaming up with was not at that next location, though. The Lord, even told Lesterol, I want you to get off the boat.

I want you to go to this address. He knocked on the door and he's like, I don't know why I'm here basically. And the guy goes, oh, you're meeting this person. This is where he's at. That's the gift of faith. That's true. Amen. Because you need to know.
