The Hope Hotline - Power of Prayer. Sleeping in Heaven. Help! Mommas Boy! | S02-E21 | 04-12-24

Episode Date: April 12, 2024

Question:Will a believer's personal prayer for a saved or unsaved loved one's blood, to be cleansed from covid shots, be answered, or does that person need to be regretful and repentant themselves to ...receive healing? Question:Does Jesus and people in heaven, eat, rest, sleep?Question:So, I love my mother-in-law. She’s a woman who loves the Lord and is very kind and generous towards others. When I first met her and started to get to know her while my husband and I were courting she was so fun and amazing to be around. When we got married something changed. She would often come visit us and it was almost like she wanted to take over. She would cook dinner and serve my husband and I felt like I couldn’t really step into my role as a wife when she was around. I did share with my husband a bit, but I don’t think he really understands. We have been married for 4 years now and although she’s gotten better, she still comes to visit and recently she said my husband is the baby and he’s the spoiled one. It wasn’t in front of him, but she said it to me and another one of my friends who was present. It was embarrassing to me. He’s the youngest and I’d also like to note she doesn’t do this with her other sons. She likes to make him certain foods and says they are “his foods” and “his favorites” idk why this just bothers me. I love her but I don’t like her. Please am I crazy? I don’t know what to do anymore. How do I even say anything to her? She’s overall a nice lady but this one thing. I just wish she would back off and wasn’t like this. I only make an effort with her because she’s my husband's mother.

Starting point is 00:02:54 That is true. Now, I ain't working in the gas. And I ain't making anybody else work in the gas. Thank you. Yeah. But that was funny. He's like, just turn on the fans, babe. It'll be all right

I know. How was he to know? I know. There's always something going on here. So it's all good every night, all kinds of stuff. So a lot. Listen, there's so much going on. Good stuff. Yeah. I can't wait for it to come out. Like the good stuff that's happening. Yeah. Until everything's like signed on the dotted line. We're not going to say anything, but the prophecy God gave me in 2009 just keeps popping like popcorn. So it's good stuff. You want to run through the stuff and then we'll get going? OK, well, the most important thing right now is it's Friday and I keep forgetting that it's Friday. So congratulations. It's Friday. We miss Wednesday. Well, we miss
Starting point is 00:04:10 Wednesday. So I'm like, Oh yeah, it's Friday today. All day. It just, my day, now my weeks are thrown off. I know. I'm sorry. Oh my gosh. Okay. But we're going to do this real quick because people are having issues with rumble. So please, if you're having issues with Rumble, I don't know how we're going to get in contact with them. But the link is on Facebook. I put it in the link. Tom had almost 900 on Rumble last night. How are we having problems with Rumble right now? Great question.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Nobody can find it. It's not on our feed. Yeah, I see it. We're up. Serums. Okay, wait a minute. Sarah, what did you just say? If you click on the link in Facebook, it will take you to your browser, and you can watch it through your browser, but the app is not working.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Rumble app is not live. So, if you could just go to Facebook. Well, that's not good. Or YouTube. Because most of our people watch on Rumble. I know. I know. You know what?
Starting point is 00:05:02 I have not specifically prayed over that today. Well, we are in the name of Jesus. I command rumble to start working the app to start working specifically. Well, how else are you going to get there? A browser. That's how we're doing it right now. Like if you're on your computer at home, my mom watches on the browser. Um, you can pull it up on your phone. So if you go to the link, if you're now popping on to Facebook, there is a link right at the top. I'm going to pin it so you can easily find it. If you click on that, yeah, you'll have to watch in your browser.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But go to BlackRobeTV. Or you can go to BlackRobe. So let's switch over here. Let's just go to BlackRobeTV, guys. I know. And that's so you can, it's not necessarily an app, but you can make it an app on your iPhone. But all those people trying to get on Rumble right now that aren't getting it. On their app.
Starting point is 00:05:47 They won't even know to go to Black Rope TV. Well, and that's why I'm hoping that when people come back and they watch the replay or they're like kind of scrolling to see what's happening on Facebook, they can see that if you want to watch on Rumble, that the link is there. Sarah's on. She's on Rumble. And then Talia and Vanessa are in there. How many people are in Rumble right now?
Starting point is 00:06:07 We have 12. That is so low. Oh my gosh. I don't know what's going on. Maybe there's an app issue. I'll Google that while we're looking and see if I can find something that's... Do you want to Google that real quick and just see if Rumble app is having an issue?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Rumble does sometimes even with Tom. Yeah. Yeah. So you're probably right. Okay. And Sean's on Blackrobe right now because he can't get up on Rumble. So see, we have a bunch of free thinkers.
Starting point is 00:06:33 So good job, guys. Way to know. There's always ways to watch. If Rumble doesn't work, you can head on to YouTube. Facebook's always available as well. That's why we go on all these platforms. So no current problems.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Okay. So let's see see what can we do but I'm I can't even get it on mine like that we're live I can't even get yeah that's the problem they're having right now in the app yeah so I think there's something is wrong well we're getting some people we have 14 people now we've got two more coming on so while you guys are looking I'll go and see if there's anything in the back end that I can figure it out. But as always, if you're on Facebook, like and share and comment. And then you can click on the link if you'd prefer. It's at the link right at the top of a Facebook page. And I'm actually going to put it in the YouTube chat as well.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I'm going to text Erin really quick. Yeah. And then I'm also going to put it in black robe. If you want to join us over, if you want to stay in black robe, that's totally fine. Um, and then YouTube, it's just the chat across the board will look a little bit different. Um, and then Galena, yes, we are on rumble. If I'm answering your question, even though you asked five minutes ago. So, um, as always, we have our audio podcast as well. So you are available or able to watch or listen to the audio podcast on anything that you do. So if you are a Spotify person, we have our own channel on there,
Starting point is 00:07:58 and you can go check it out anytime and download them or whatever you need to do. You can access them right away. But if you're going on a trip on an airplane and you just want to have it to be able to listen to, you can just download them and they'll be ready if you can't get Wi-Fi. And we need you guys to keep sending in your questions. So while you're out and about this weekend,
Starting point is 00:08:18 maybe think of some questions, put them in your little notes on your phone, send a text to somebody so you can remember. And then when you get home, send an email or just pop open the email app real quick and do that. We also are on Instagram. And so you can always follow us over there for anything that's new and exciting. This is coming up very soon. We are only two weeks away. So this will be an awesome time with hope. Do you want to say anything specific about it or just like a little reminder? No, I have nothing to say. Okay, perfect. So make sure you're here at 630.
Starting point is 00:08:52 A little bit before that, so you can get a good seat and it will go till 8pm. 630, I think we'll have food from like 630 to like 10 till or something like that. Okay, perfect. Yeah. So there'll be food available for you guys. Listen, we're not creating a meal. It's just like hors d'oeuvres. Okay, yeah. So don't come starving. Yeah, don't come starving
Starting point is 00:09:11 because you'll leave starving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And very disappointed. Listen, just a little sneaky snack. Yeah, don't swear our names because you came to eat a four course meal. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Not happening, people. You're getting the one course, which is the hors d'oeuvres that happen at the beginning. Oh, my gosh. Be thankful for what you get. That's what it is. And in some cases, if everybody takes everything, what you don't get if you're on the show. Oh, man. Still too new, still too raw.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Still too fresh. Too fresh. Too soon. Too soon. Thank you. Too soon. Too soon. Thank you. Too soon. Everybody that didn't get to eat will be picking everybody's food that they didn't eat out of the trash can. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Hope. Hey, listen. People were looking in the trash at what people threw away because they didn't eat it all. And they were like, chicken and waffles are in the trash. Huh? That was Logan. It was. It was.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I wasn't the only person that was starving because people took too much. I was starving, looked in the trash at all that had been thrown away because people were not proper. And so, like, literally people were like, oh, like oh my gosh like i'm so hungry so i'm like go back and eat another burrito until the burritos ran out and then right and we had so we ordered so much food like when i told the caterer like we ran out and he's like it's not possible you should have had leftovers um i'm like well we didn't serve the people they serve themselves he goes that's what happens because people don't care they take more than they should oh my goodness
Starting point is 00:10:56 yeah like the amount of food was ridiculous because it was based actually on more than we had to tend so we had we catered for more than, than, than the numbers that were actually for there. That just tells you how much waste happened. A lot. Sarah's shaking her head now. I'm like, oh yeah, girl. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:11:16 She, and that's all Logan wanted. Oh my gosh, Logan. I know. Logan saying she was so pregnant that she was almost door dash McDonald's. Yeah. She was starving. Yes, she was. Girl that she was almost DoorDash McDonald's because she was starving. Yes, she was. Girl, I didn't know until later.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I didn't take very much because, you know, when you're doing all that stuff, you're like all over the place. So this year we'll be serving people food? From this point forward. From this point forward with everything. There won't be no utensil in anyone's hand other than the person that's distributing the food. Adalas and Magalas learned that
Starting point is 00:11:52 lesson. They told us that that morning they were like, oh girl. We learned that a long time ago. You serve. You don't let them serve because people are not polite or have social etiquette. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And people think I'm mean because I'm talking about this right now. No, no, no. It's not. But I'm like, well, where's the responsibility of the person that just like took more and didn't consider anybody else that was going to have to eat? You know what I'm saying? Right. Why am I the mean person?
Starting point is 00:12:22 You're not. Oh, because I tell you the truth? You're offended? I mean, they got a lot of fun time. You don't believe me? Well, it's really you're offended. But it's like, Jesus, because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me. Well, I don't know what to tell you.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So, okay, yeah, go to beloved. Okay. But quick update. I unlisted and relisted the Rumble, and it's working now on the app. Did Aaron tell you that? No. I texted Aaron. I'm like, get on it.
Starting point is 00:12:48 No. Not in a mean way. I was like, help us. So now everything's back up and running? It's on the app. Callie and I got it. That's crazy that you learned that. I'm so smart.

I'm breathing. Even worse.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I prophetically speak. No. Nothing. No. We're going to make it so easy. It's going to be iconic. I thought we did make it easy. Maybe it should be prerecorded. We really can't mess up.

And so every year we're doing our Beloved Ladies Conference. And this year the specific theme is victorious. So please, please save the date. We have hotels nearby if you're out of town.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Listen, it's Florida. It's warm, but it's beautiful here. And you will be among a bunch, a bunch, a bunch of women that are solid, equally yoked. And it will be, it'll just be amazing. Like just to be able to come into an environment with women that are worshiping together, that are hungry and ready. Like it's just nothing like it. Nothing is like that. So come take a few days, tell your husband and take a couple days off, watch the kiddos or get mom on board
Starting point is 00:16:51 and see if she can help you. Or maybe dad and grandpa, have them help out. Just leave some snacks on the floor. Snacks. Okay, depending on their age. If they're teenagers, just leave lots of snacks. If they're a child, maybe just grab grandma or grandpa or some cool uncles that are the best. Or I don't know,
Starting point is 00:17:12 whatever. Or if you're like Tom, he just left our children to their own demise. Okay, that's kind of what it sounded like Vanessa was suggesting down there. He made sure he ate lunch, but the kids fended for themselves. I'm like, what did you feed them? Did you eat lunch? Yeah. I'm like, what did they?
Starting point is 00:17:31 They just snacked. And I'm like, but you fixed you lunch. Yeah. I'm like, well, why didn't you fix them lunch? Oh, they weren't hungry. Oh, my gosh. Because they snacked. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Men are just totally ridiculous. They're just not nurturers. They're not. It's not in their nature. It's not in their DNA. Right. I mean, he was great on safety. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I will tell you that. They're fun. That makes sense. I'm great on safety. Jerry's good on safety, too. But other than nutrition, nothing nutritionally. This is not the same song I was thinking. Thank God I didn't pull mine up. Okay. That is not the same song song i was thinking thank god i didn't pull my okay that's not an 80s song that's actually early 90s yeah 91 and i actually think this was in my yeah it was this is in my really bad days but that's probably why oh my gosh that's
Starting point is 00:18:18 what made you think of me great it might be i don't. But I'm just telling you. Great song. It's a one-hit wonder. How do you even know this song, Sarah? It's not the song that I was singing. I was singing You Send Me by Aretha Franklin, which is definitely not a one-hit wonder. I don't even know that song by Aretha Franklin. Sing the one you're talking about. I did.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Do it again. She's going to sing it. She's going to play it. Oh, she's going to play it. Okay. She's downloading it. Listen, you don She's going to sing it. She's going to play it. Oh, she's going to play it. Okay. She's downloading it. Listen, you don't want me to sing that. I mean.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Me, me, me, me, me. I can sing. Really? Are you sure? But let's face it. How loud it is? It ain't going to be good. It's inside.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I feel like I've done this before. Okay. I don't know how I'm going to get this. I don't know how I'm going to do this. She's making fun of me. She tried to screen record it with the audio turned down all the way. But can't you? I think it still gets it.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Yeah, I think it does. I do too. No. It doesn't. Did you get your feelings hurt? I don't know how to download the YouTube one. Oh my goodness. Do you want to do Apple Music?
Starting point is 00:19:14 I don't know. I think we're going to have to. Get it together. I think we're just going to have to move on. I know we are. I'll try to get it during it. Maybe we can end with that song. We'll put the link to the song in the comments if you
Starting point is 00:19:26 want to go listen to it. I want to end the podcast with that. Oh yeah, let's do it. Let's heal the sick, cleanse the leper, deliver the demonic, get people saved and then say, no, baby, you send me. We will. We'll do an outro
Starting point is 00:19:41 and then we'll end on that. It's Friday. It's Friday. Come on. That's what we're going to do. Jesus will love it. I'll do an outro and then we'll end on that. It's Friday. It's Friday. Come on. That's what we're going to do. Jesus will love it. I'll find it. That's like one for the books. I go to Rick Springfield.
Starting point is 00:19:57 My dad goes, if Jesus comes back, do you think if you're in that Rick Springfield concert that, you know, he's going to go in there? And I'm like, I'm going to take my chances on that. Oh, my God. I don't think Springfield's that bad. I think you mean Springsteen? No. Bruce Springsteen? No, Rick Springfield.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I have no. Okay, you're not from the air. Okay, you're not going to know. I'm out. Yes. Jessie's girl. She's old. I wish I had Jessie's girl.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Oh, I love that song. He was on General Hospital. Yeah. Yes. Jessie's girl. She got old. I wish I had Jessie's girl. Oh, I love that song. He was on General Hospital. Yeah. Yes. And I went because I was figuring, like, listen, Jesus would probably go in there. He might like Rick Springfield for all I know. For all we know. I mean, he does love him.
Starting point is 00:20:40 He does. I don't know. He does love him. He wasn't bad. Okay. Maybe. I don't know. But does love him. He wasn't bad. Okay. Maybe, I don't know, but I was willing to take the chance. But I don't know if Jesus is going to like, baby, you send me.
Starting point is 00:20:52 We'll still close out on it. I'll take the chance. Just like I did when I went to that Rick Springfield concert. If I can't get it, then it wasn't meant to be, but if I can find it. Okay, so what do we got going on this is friday we have a special guest next week coming on is it the one that i know about the one that you know
Starting point is 00:21:10 about that you approved of do you want to let everybody know about it okay okay okay so on friday we have a special guest a lot of you guys have been having um medical questions that you've been asking us about we don't want to keep giving her our like unsolicited. Well, I guess it's solicited, but it's not it's not professional. And so we're going to have Natalie come on on Friday. In other words, they might die if they listen to you. And you'll definitely live if you listen. You're rolling rolling the dice. If you're listening to me, Vanessa, Vanessa is risky. So's risky. It is risky. So I... Your parasites
Starting point is 00:21:46 might actually grow instead of die if you listen to them. Actually, I mean, they might come back stronger. You have a point. When you clean out
Starting point is 00:21:55 and then you clean your house, they might come back seven times stronger. I think that's a Bible verse. Yeah, but I don't think that they ever die. Okay. Probably not.
Starting point is 00:22:05 They were just multiplying. Oh, my gosh. So, yeah, Natalie will be here on Friday. So hopefully she'll be able to touch on parasites. Maybe she'll give you some better advice than, like, our TikTok advice. Listen, I'm just telling you, guys. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I know. I'm sorry. Like, Natalie is. Legit. She is. Well, medically speaking, she's phenomenal. But as a person? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I know. Love her. And she's funny. Yeah. And she's sweet. Right. And she's too legit. She is.
Starting point is 00:22:34 She is too legit to quit. Too legit to quit. I love that. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so we have this and this left. Okay, so let us, like, did you watch that thing? Yes. Like, okay, we're going to show you something.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And I literally watched this and I thought to myself, I don't feel like this anymore. Okay. Praise you, Jesus. But I honestly felt like in my 30s. Yeah. And my 40s at different times. Yeah. No, all of my 40s. Okay. Almost all of my 40s at different times. No, all of my 40s.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Almost all of my 40s. Like my 30s and my 40s, I felt like this woman. Go ahead. When I say I am so freaking tired of being the woman, like I really just feel like God could have made me a dinosaur or a frog or even a tree at this point. I'm fine with being a tree. But like this woman's
Starting point is 00:23:25 stuff like y'all want me to bear children take care of the children get a house take care of the house go grocery shopping cook the food buy clothes wash the clothes and fold them and put them away bleed every month just to tell me that i i can still bear children but i didn't do it this month i don't you can send me a text message I don't really we ain't gotta keep doing that wash dishes organize cabinets clean out the fridge like I just it's just too much I mean nails hair I gotta look good like and on top of all this y'all want me to stay emotionally and mentally sane to do all of these things we ain't even talked about going to work. We ain't even put that in.
Starting point is 00:24:08 That's all of the job right there. I ain't even did nothing to earn no money. That's just doing stuff. I am tired. God, next lifetime, I really feel like I need to be a tree. I need to chill out for a couple hundred years. I can't keep doing the human experience. Tree me, God. Tree me, please. a tree i need to chill out for a couple hundred years i can't keep doing a human experience treat me god treat me please and then after that when i come back make me the uncle because i can't
Starting point is 00:24:30 keep doing the woman stuff and the mom stuff i made me an uncle after i get to chill out and be a tree for a couple hundred years i need to relax and catch the breeze this ain't it i watched that and went, oh, I can still relate. Logan's dying. She's crying. Taya's laughing. No, she's crying. She's crying.
Starting point is 00:25:00 What was it? The tree? Tree me. It was the tree. I know. I laughed so hard when she said, tree me, God. I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, being a woman is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:25:11 It is. It is. But, oh, my goodness. Also all that. Also all of that. I mean, seriously, that was, I was like, man, she just like summed that up perfectly. I mean, it's not all the time. There are times that you're just like.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah. Seriously, today. There's just days you're just like, uh-huh. Uh-huh. A tree. Okay. Happen out. One minute at-huh. A tree. Okay. Tapping out.
Starting point is 00:25:47 One minute at a time. Sweet Jesus. Yep. I saw that and I was like, oh, my gosh. I've been saving that one for two weeks. Have you? For two weeks. I'm like, I watched it. I can't even tell you how many times.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I'm like, I can so relate. That's so funny. But that was super funny, super cute. Okay, now. Okay. I don't know how much time we have, but Tracy did something I think is fun. I think it's fun. You people might not think it's fun because you're not really going to be able to participate,
Starting point is 00:26:14 but you'll participate with us. How many minutes do I got? Because I got a bunch of questions. 36. Oh, we're good. We're going to go through this quickly. We recouped our Rumble people. We're at 47 in Rumble.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I was like, no, not right. No, it wasn't right. Okay, so Tracy, everybody knows that all of us, I don't think Sarah does this, and Vanessa doesn't either, but all of us, for the most part, we like energy drinks. Do you drink?
Starting point is 00:26:45 You drink energy drinks, Logan? Coffee. Coffee. Do either one of you do energy drinks? No. Vanessa's always down for anything. I'm always down for a good time. Okay. I can always count on you, my friend. Good to know. Because I've had to
Starting point is 00:27:01 have told you for many things. I don't consider some of them a good time they're just a time i would agree good call it's just a moment in time but you're pretty much gotta do it time yeah so tell them what you came across and i'm down for this okay listen wawa which erin actually told me about a really long time ago that Wawa has energy drinks. And I went and looked for them and I'm like, where are they? Cause I knew they came in these like cups. So this was mine. I got a big one yesterday and I still had some leftover and you have to actually order them from the place where you get like the smoothies and all that
Starting point is 00:27:41 kind of stuff. Refreshment area. Exactly. Coffees, everything and smoothies and all that kind of stuff. The refreshment area. Refreshment area, exactly. Okay, coffees. Coffees, everything, and smoothies and all kinds of stuff. So I posted it, and Hope was like, what is that? What is that? I was like, I will bring you one tomorrow. So they're really pretty when you start, which I'll show you. So these are the four that I got today. The Galaxy, which is like the bluish purple one, it's probably now very purpley,
Starting point is 00:28:08 is Blue Raspberry and dragon fruit lemonade. So we're going to try them? Yes. You're going to tell me like what you think. This is the first one I had. So it has the small one that we have right now only has like 100 or sorry, 75 milligrams of caffeine. And then I did one shot of caffeine in it so that's another 37 and you can put immunity in it so it's just vitamins so you can put like a vitamin c if you want and it's just an extra whatever dollar for them so um these so this first one will be
Starting point is 00:28:40 that's not very much caffeine no it's not but not. But you can get like the guy and I stayed like pretty good all day and I drink on it all day. But you said they have sugar in them. So this would, yes, they do. Well, they have calories. So I'm not sure. One of them, two of these are low sugar. I'm just learning guys again, like don't, don't bet on this. Just understand we're taste testing.
Starting point is 00:29:09 So blue raspberry and dragon fruit lemonade is this first one. I'm picking up notes of dragon fruit. Correct. Correct. Correct. Should we swish it around in our mouth like wine? Yes. I was already smelling it. It's cold.
Starting point is 00:29:21 But what do you think? What do you guys think? What do you guys think? It's not bad. I like it. Yeah. Okay. I'll log out. Yeah. This mean, it's cold. But what do you think? What do you guys think? What do you guys think? It's not bad. I like it. Yeah. Okay. I like it.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah. This one's only 150 calories. So some of the other ones get really high in calories because they're probably loaded. I know. So we didn't pick those today. Yeah. You could. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Next is Coastal Coulada. So that one should be darker on the ground. I think it's the one in front of Vanessa. This one is just dragon fruit and coconut and this is a low, low sugar one. So I haven't tried this one yet. Do you want to taste that? Yeah, I want to try that at some point. I don't have to do it now though.
Starting point is 00:29:58 And the Beach Vibes, we'll do that next too, that's also a low sugar. And so again, you can add up to three pumps of caffeine, which is only 111 milligrams on top of the 74. Is that what I was? Yeah, 75.
Starting point is 00:30:14 So that will take you to what? Like, like almost 200, which isn't a ton, 200. But if you get a large one 50 plus 111, that's 270. So 270,
Starting point is 00:30:24 if you got a large, 150 plus 111, that's 270. So 270 if you got a large. I don't like it. I don't like it. Logan said that one tastes like Malibu. This tastes terrible. You know what? I feel like I just drank. But it's also, it melted.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I did. But here's the thing. You know what I feel like I just drank? Vanessa said it tastes like sunscreen. That's exact. I feel like I just drank suntan oil I got it I drank it that tastes terrible it's a little bit better because I got to mix it
Starting point is 00:30:54 try that but yeah I did yeah yeah your face okay they've all been sitting here for a little while so we're not getting the full flavor I don't think listen I don't even think we're not getting the full flavor, I don't think. I know. It's definitely watered down. Listen, I don't even think if we did get the full flavor, if it would be good. It's a little bit better.
Starting point is 00:31:10 It was a little bit better. Not the best. All right. So now we've got passion fruit coconut beach vibes. Okay. So they're all the same. Milligrams, all the same. Large, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:24 But this is what they look like. Super cute and fun. And they really are this vibrant too. So that would be cute if you go to the beach just to bring a drink to the beach. I mean, it'll melt by the time you get there. It's true. They do mix. They do definitely mix.
Starting point is 00:31:37 But they are, yeah. Hey, women. You know what I did notice? What? Just so everybody knows, they will also do these in a slushie. Yes. Yes. Okay, so that's next. So you do these in a slushie. Yes. Yes. Okay, so that's next.
Starting point is 00:31:45 So you can do like a Slurpee. Okay, so that's, these are all of the options. This tastes terrible too. Are you mixing them? I just choked on some ice. That tastes worse than the other one. You're not a fan. Okay, so that's another low sugar.
Starting point is 00:32:01 I like that one. Yeah. Did you mix it? And that one also has coconut in it. That's probably what you're picking up. Oh, you're not a coconut person? I mean, I like macaroon. Coconut macaroon.
Starting point is 00:32:10 But I have not a huge coconut. Passion fruit. Do you like passion fruit? No. And coconut. I don't like dragon fruit or passion fruit. But the thing is, at least the galaxy is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I know. It's not a huge dragon fruit taste. I would have went with the Island Surf. The Island Surf is... I know, but you didn't respond back to me. What? I know. I was working very hard this morning.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Okay, well, in order to... And I wanted to be a tree. In order for me to put in... Uh-huh, I get that. I, you know what? I wanted to be a tree this morning and I had to work. I get that. Oh, that one's good.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Okay, so is that the electric wave? Electric waves. Okay, electric wave. That's the one. Favorite right here. That's the one I had yesterday and I really liked it. I got the really big one. Is that electric waves right now?
Starting point is 00:32:53 Well, it's leftover and C4. I made my own mix this morning. Okay, what do you think? See, I'm a blue raspberry person, so I like that. Okay. Which is the other galaxy is it? Right. That's way better. But I would do the lemonade, just the lemonade. Okay, just the lemonade. And that makes it a little bit more high in calories. So because it's lemonade,
Starting point is 00:33:16 but these are all the options. So as you can see, if you look over to the island serve dragon burst on the other side, lower corner, those are those are all, yeah, those are all smoothie ish. They're like the, you know, whatever the icy ones basically. And, um, I haven't tried those yet, so I can't give any opinions, but these are all the flavors. I say go with the island surf people. It's one right down third row, right towards the middle. Yeah. So that's the, and then the top court top at the top, that's the, the drink drink. So it's really pretty, not messed up. Oh, yeah, that's right. The top one.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Yeah, yeah. That was the unblended one. So, okay. Okay. So now you've tried them. So everybody go to Wawa and go get some energy drinks. And I'm going to be flat out honest with everybody. I think you're going to be disappointed.
Starting point is 00:34:06 You won't. Don't waste your time or't waste your time I know they're not cheap either so if you're not like looking for something new and exciting in the energy world just stick with your Red Bull I would eliminate exciting out of that if you're looking for something new in the energy world but exciting
Starting point is 00:34:22 look how exciting these are look at those it It's like, hello. It's a lot of colored drink that tastes like crap. It tastes pretty bad. I mean, look at Sarah's face right now. I know, but Sarah doesn't like energy. No, okay. She's not tasting
Starting point is 00:34:38 caffeine. She's tasting or anybody, by the way. I don't like anything or anybody. She's probably like Heather and just likes water. Do you just like water? See? Exactly. You know what this is?
Starting point is 00:34:51 The more you drink it, the more you're like, oh. See? That's all I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hope. Keep going. Do you want a whole drink? I'll stick to my vices.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Okay. You know what? You know what? You know what? I'm having a hard time. I'm going to go to the next. I'm going to say this. I'm going to take two seconds. Okay. And then I'm going to go to the first question. But you know I'm having a hard time getting over is
Starting point is 00:35:17 I'm having a hard time getting past OJ Simpson passing away. Really? I mean, well, yeah, because, like, he never confessed to what he did. Yep. And, like, for me, I said to Tom last night, it bothers me.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Like, even though I truly believe everybody would have to be an idiot because all the proof stacked right up against him, I mean, everything, he had blood everywhere in his house but on his on in his car of both both victims i mean there's no way but for me i sit there and go that's still a human being that eternity is in hell. And I think he was a horrible human being to have done what he did. But like for me, it rivets my soul
Starting point is 00:36:13 that like that's his destiny for the rest of his life. I think of like as crazy as it is, is I think like of democratic and even conservatives that have passed away that are not saved, that made some really bad decisions for this country with some very bad political stands and like pro-choice and things like that and even like doing some pretty shady stuff behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:36:47 fraudulently and i i for me it's like golly you don't you should never want your worst enemy to go to hell right you should never i mean and i i like i can't get past like you don't know everybody that dies all the time right but then there's the ones that everybody knows and I said to Tom last night um I said man unless something happened in his last moments or last days like he's not in heaven I said that just bothers me like that's and there will be people that are like that's what he gets that's, and there'll be people that are like, that's what he gets. That's what he deserves. I'm glad he's there. But I'm like, not if you know what hell's like. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:30 True. Not if you know what hell's like. You, you definitely, I mean, that just like, it's like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:35 I know. If you think of it that way, um, I'm stuck in it. I can't even like, I'm so bothered by that. When I found out he had cancer, my,
Starting point is 00:37:43 I guess my thoughts went to like, oh, he knew he was dying. Like if he died. Well, he's a big vaxxer. He was big on promoting vaccination. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:37:50 So like if you know you're dying, then I guess that's where I'm like hopeful that maybe somebody got in. If he died like in like a car accident or something that was like sudden, that's those ones like bother me because I'm like, was there enough time to make it right with the Lord so like the two victims right like they didn't right exactly Natalie said there was a juror that came out and said
Starting point is 00:38:13 they knew he was guilty the juror Tom had it on his podcast last night the juror that was on there she said that 90% of the jury knew he was guilty. It was they justified their actions because of Rodney King. It was vindication for Rodney King, that that's the reason why they let him go.
Starting point is 00:38:37 But they all knew. 90% of them all believed and knew that he had done it. Now, that's another thing. You have to live with that decision. Like as jurors, you can justify anything you want to, but that doesn't mean that you're righteously correct. And so for me, it's just, it rivets my soul. And people rejoice that he died.
Starting point is 00:39:01 People were rejoicing. They're like, if he finally gets his, you know, and I'm like, you should never, nobody should ever want anybody to get theirs. Right. There by the grace of God, go I. Exactly. So I don't know. It's crazy, but I just thought I had to share that. Yeah. I'm compelled. Yeah. I'm glad you did. Like it really bothers me. Okay. So, I mean, did it, did anybody else, I mean, were you like shocked by it? I was shocked. I didn't even know he was sick.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I wasn't. I didn't, I was so young when it was going on. So like I only knew of it more than like being super involved in it. And then when I heard he had cancer, I was like, okay, maybe he did get his life right towards the end because. It was like turbo cancer. It was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I didn't even, I, yeah, I didn't know he was sick either. Oh, no, it was turbo, which is so funny. They've now come up with the term turbo cancer. Never before in history do we have that term up until now. I've never heard of it until now. Because he's big on promoting and being a very big advocate for vaccination. So but that's one of the things that that's one of the things they say the vaccine does is turbo cancer. I was I was watching a few videos and people were hoping that he would like leave a letter behind, like admitting.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Really? You know, never going to just come clean. You're about to go. Just, you know never gonna say just come clean you're you're about to go just you know just never gonna happen yeah mm-hmm never wild unless he did have a real encounter yeah yeah yeah with God yeah but probably not because you don't want your legacy to be a lot of times pride goes before destruction right so you don't want your legacy to be that truth it's not worth it so yeah absolutely let's go to the first question it says uh will a believer's personal prayer for a saved or unsaved loved one's blood to be cleansed from a covid shots be answered or does that person need to be regretful and repentant themselves to receive
Starting point is 00:41:05 healing well i'll tell you this is a really good question i know that a lot of times um it's like people get sickness and or a sickness and an illness and somebody will lay hands on them a lot of times both parties have to stand in belief. In fact, almost always, because Jesus says, do you believe when people were being healed? But there are places in scripture where that wasn't the case. And I know that we've had people be prayed for, and they stood in the gap like Naz. I've told this story a bunch. Naz stood in the gap for her grandmother, who I think had less than 24 hours to live
Starting point is 00:41:51 because of cancer in her body. She stood in the gap for her aunt, I mean her grandmother. And her grandmother was like, I don't know, wasn't even a week if I remember right, totally healed. They couldn't even find cancer in her body. So do I believe that that can happen? What did you say? That's amazing. Yeah. I love that story. Yeah, if I remember right. Totally healed. They couldn't even find cancer in the body. So do I believe that that can happen? What did you say?
Starting point is 00:42:06 That's amazing. Yeah. I love that story. Yeah. So good. Yeah. But there's places in scriptures where people like Naz did it. And let's look at those.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Matthew 8, 5 through 13 and Luke 7, 1 through 10. They tell the same story where Jesus was met by the centurion who had the servant that was sick. Okay. And let's he had he had the palsy and and it says he was grievously being tormented in 8686 and 86. And then let's see. Jesus was going to go and he was going to go to the servant. But the centurion was like, no, you don't need to come because I know what it's like to walk in authority. If you tell somebody
Starting point is 00:42:50 to do something, they're going to do it because of the authority that you carry. So he's like, the authority that you carry, all you have to do is have a word. You don't even need to come to my house. You say it, it'll come to pass. And that's when Jesus was like, holy mackerel, this guy has faith. He says the word that is used is that he marveled at his faith, which, listen, guys, I would love it if I get to the place where Jesus actually, when I go to see him, he says, I marveled at your faith. How awesome would that be? Sign me up. Yeah. So Matthew 8 10 when Jesus heard it
Starting point is 00:43:26 he marveled and said to them that followed verily I say unto you I have not found so great faith no not in Israel so this guy beat out everybody else as far as that his belief in his faith and what uh Jesus the power and authority that Jesus walked in. So the one thing I love about this is the servant really had nothing to do with it. Jesus marveled at the centurion's faith, not at the servant's faith. It doesn't say that the servant knew the centurion left to go and meet with Jesus for his healing. It doesn't say that the servant didn't know. So we don't know if the servant had faith or not. But it was the centurion's faith that actually healed him.
Starting point is 00:44:18 So I would say to you, I would stand in the gap. And I would believe just like the centurion. And through your friend being healed or your loved one being healed from, you know, vaccine being taken out of their body, they might come to have a relationship with the Lord if they don't already have one. Let's look at another story. It's the paralyzed man who was let down through the roof, which is Matthew 9, 1 through 8, Mark 2, 1 through 12, and Luke 5, 7 through 26. All the same story told by the three different men who actually saw it. So it's in the four gospels, three different accounts. Let's look at what Jesus said. In Matthew 9-2, Jesus says, Jesus seeing their faith.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Their is plural. So it wasn't the paralyzed man's faith. It was his friends who did whatever it took to get their friend to Jesus, which is climbing on a roof, taking the roof off and lowering him down. It was their faith. So it was the faith of the friends, not the man who was paralyzed. So again, I believe 100% you can stand in the gap for your loved one. I mean, I would say when I walked away from God, it was the faith of my parents who provided protection for me because the righteous, God answers the prayers of the righteous, right? So even though
Starting point is 00:45:52 I was out doing really bad things, my parents and their friends were praying for me and for a hedge of protection to surround me so that no harm would come to me. Also that I would come back to the Lord. Now, ultimately, my decision was my decision whether I would come back to him. But as that, as those steps needed to come to happen, whether they did or not, I believe that because my parents were praying for me and my safety, because I was, I was, listen, I was in some bad places, doing some bad things. And so could have harm happened to me? Yeah, 100%. But I believe 100% the reason why it didn't is because of the prayers of my parents.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Because, listen, when you decide to walk away from God, his hand lifts from you. And you're not protected. And it clearly says that in the Bible. People don't, people are like, I know God was with me the whole time. No, no, he wasn't. And the only reason he might have been is if you have parents that are praying for you and you're in the protection. Outside of that, no, he wasn't there with you through all of that because his word goes against all of that. So does he love you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Is he trying to draw you back in? Well, depending on where you're at and how much you're willing to receive, because at some point it even says he'll stop. He'll stop drawing you in. The door will just, he's going to let you do whatever you want to do. So I know that's different, that differs from a lot, a lot of people have been taught and what they, what they believe. But I would love to see the scripture that says that he is, because it does not go with scripture at all so uh actually it says sin separates you
Starting point is 00:47:47 from from the from god so if you're separated from from him how can he be with you do you know what i'm saying yeah next question unless you guys want to add anything to that that's good has anybody have an example of where they've prayed for somebody and for this person no i'm sure no i know not top of mind right now while i'm like listening i don't yeah well just know it does happen and the scripture says that it does yeah and so i mean probably you guys have. I know. All the things that you guys do with the Tuesday group, you probably have examples. Along with, like, the church has done so many things.
Starting point is 00:48:32 But I can promise you that it can happen. Yeah, absolutely. Scripture shows that it does. So get in there and just stand for your family. Next question. Hi, ladies. Does Jesus and people in heaven eat, rest, sleep? Well, I don't know. I mean, for me, I don't know about sleeping.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I've not seen any scripture about sleeping. Have you guys ever seen scripture about sleeping? No, never. But eating, yes. I have no idea about sleeping, though. I mean, Jesus doesn't sleep. God doesn't sleep. Angels don't sleep. And time doesn't exist, right? Well, no, time does because there'll be the thousand-year reign as far as when the new earth is being created. So time does, to a certain extent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Like days, like sun up, send down, like that. I don't, I don't know. Cause if that says a thousand years is like a day and the day is like a thousand years, what does that look like?
Starting point is 00:49:34 I do not know, but he's creating a new earth and he says it's a thousand years. So time must exist to a certain extent. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's one of those things that our minds probably can't even conceive. Especially when you live forever. And ever.
Starting point is 00:49:51 And ever. And there's no end. It doesn't even make sense. It doesn't make sense. It's like mind-boggling. But there's some things in Revelation that don't make sense as far as... But it's mind-boggling to think there's no end. There is no end. That is mind-boggling to think there's no end. There is no end.
Starting point is 00:50:06 That is mind-boggling to me. That's what bothers me about O.J. Simpson. I know. I know. I know. Me too. I know. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Knowing somebody went to hell. You know, those people like that, they lived high on the hog while they were here on Earth. Right. I mean, they just were like, they never probably even considered because you get so like, personally speaking, when you're so deep into sin, you just lose. I mean, I was so far. It's almost like it's kind of sometimes I'm surprised that I came back because you go so far into it that you become just numb
Starting point is 00:50:45 to everything. And so, and I wasn't even to the degree that they were, do you know what I'm saying? I wasn't a, I wasn't a pro-choicer. I wasn't into all of that stuff. I wasn't robbing people. I wasn't cheating people or, you know, being a fraud a fraud i mean i was a liar and things like that i was a heavy partier but i was so far into it that so that you become a reprobate mind a reprobate mind can't even come back right so i mean it's difficult they say the bible says it's very difficult for a reprobate mind right for you to back. So for me, I'm like, they're so far gone. They even, I think, even in hell, to a certain extent, I mean, scripturally speaking, it kind of goes with what it says,
Starting point is 00:51:33 but they still won't bow to the need to God. Yeah. That's wild. It's insane. In the midst of all that, they still will not bow. Because of pride. Or just hating righteousness so much. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I don't know. It's crazy. So let's look at Luke 14, 15. It says, Now when one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. So we're going to be eaten revelation
Starting point is 00:52:05 19 9 then he said to me right blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the lamb and he said to me these are the true sayings of god so then also jesus said at the last supper he won't eat again until we're all together again so So yeah, we will eat, but this is, this is, hey, listen, this is my take on it. Okay. Let's hear it. Okay. I think you're going to, the food's going to be amazing. Yeah. Okay. Like you love organic. You ain't seen organic yet. Okay. So it's going to be amazing. But then on that top of that zero calories amen praise them finally zero calories you can eat probably as much as you want yep listen we're not we're not angels so we're ain't gonna be flying around probably so you can get you ain't gotta
Starting point is 00:53:01 worry about getting your feet up off the ground. Oh, my gosh. Go walk. Your wings ain't got to carry something heavy. Oh, my gosh. I'm just saying. Yeah, listen. I bet you can eat whatever you want, and it does absolutely nothing to you. I agree. I agree.

Starting point is 00:53:35 That's where I'm at right now. The problem is is our food has calories so you're just screwing my whole entire thought process up. It has no preservatives up there. Yeah, glorified food. Carbs.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Oh, she's going the other way. Sean said, will there be a Wawa up in heaven? Who's saying that? Sean. Of course there will be. Yes. And it will be glorified. And we will like all those drinks.
Starting point is 00:54:01 No, I don't like those drinks. They taste not good. Just take my word from it don't me go save your money no save your calories no go did you like it sarah you're drinking one over there did you end up liking it are you just drinking it because sarah's like whatever yeah i'm mixing it up a little bit i'm just like yeah jushing it around and trying to get the stuff off the bottom because i think it was very watered down it was tasted like what are those yeah it's like like a coconut farted in the drink it's like not even you can't even taste it but it's there oh my gosh yeah yeah no that's true it was like a hint okay I don't know if you guys know this but all you can see is really

Starting point is 00:55:14 Really cute. Yeah. Super cute. I like it, girl. Looks great. I'm like looking. I'm like something's different about her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:20 But I'm like, it's like super dark. I'm like, was it that dark? You went darker. Yeah. I like it. Are my eyebrows that dark? Your eyebrows are that angry. Oh, I love it.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Oh, my gosh. Whatever. Okay. Next question. So I love my mother-in-law. She's a woman who loves the Lord. We're going to I love my mother-in-law. She's a woman who loves the Lord. We're going to start with the mother-in-law. That's a great introduction.
Starting point is 00:55:52 So I love my mother-in-law. Which means I hate my mother-in-law. I can't stand her. And I like, how do I get in this relationship? If you have to start out with, I love my mother-in-law. That means. We know where you're going. We no like.
Starting point is 00:56:08 We no like our mother-in-law. Oh my gosh. You're forced to love her, but you don't have to like her. Hey. That's the word. You gotta love her, but you ain't gotta like her. That's true. Okay. Thank God I love my mother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I know. She's great. She ain't saved saved i pray for her salvation amen all the time but i'm just saying yeah great woman you know what i love about her what she leaves us alone oh yeah that's a good mother-in-law. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? She minds are beeswax. Yeah. Not, not, not in there. Oh my gosh. Micromanaging.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Huh? Micromanaging. Co-managing. Co-managing. Yeah. Because, hey, listen,
Starting point is 00:56:58 I know there's lots of like, I know I have friends. Yeah. It ain't good. Yeah. I know. That, that, I always say, I tell my kids, like, I know, I have friends. Yeah. It ain't good. Yeah, I know. I always say, I tell my kids, like, remember, you just don't marry the person. Well, I haven't recently said this to them, but I have told them in the past,
Starting point is 00:57:15 before they ever started dating, like, remember, you're not just marrying that person. You're marrying that whole entire family. Exactly. You better be able to handle it yeah and if you can't think wisely yep think wisely because listen marrying into the wrong family can be rough i i i know personally right because my mother yeah and her mother-in-law. It was rough. Yeah. It was rough. So, but.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Okay. We'll move on. Is that where they're going with this? Okay, let's find out. Story. Okay. She's a woman who loves the Lord and is very kind and generous towards others. When I first met her and started to get to know her while my husband and I were courting, she was so fun, amazing to be around.
Starting point is 00:58:08 When we got married, something changed. She would often come visit us and it was almost like she wanted to take over. And she would cook dinner and serve my husband and I felt like I couldn't really step into my role as a wife when she was around. I did share with my husband a bit, but I don't think he really understands.
Starting point is 00:58:25 We've been married for four years now, and although she's gotten better, she still comes to visit, and recently she said, my husband is the baby, and he's the spoiled one. It wasn't in front of him, but she said it to me
Starting point is 00:58:37 and another one of my friends who was present. It was embarrassing to me. He's the youngest, and I'd also like to note, she doesn't do this with her other sons. She likes to make him certain foods and says they are his foods, his foods, and his favorites. I don't know why this bothers me.
Starting point is 00:58:55 I love her, but I don't like her. We know that because you started out with. Yeah. So, I love my mother-in-law. Listen, that's a big camp. It is. You're not by yourself. There's a lot of people, like, Sarah goes right.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Are you trying to tell us something, Sarah? Nope. She pleased the fifth. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. No, she said nope. So we're going to take her at her said nope so we're gonna take her for at her at her word and you're not gonna look at her face hide your face sarah but here's the thing uh you're not by yourself so we'll keep going uh it says please am i crazy i don't know what to do anymore how do i even say anything to her she She's overall a nice lady, but this one thing.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I just wish she would back off and wasn't like this. I only make an effort with her because she's my husband's mother. It would be wonderful to know how often this woman visits. Because based on how often she visits is based on to the length in which you might want to go. To create War World 3, potentially. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Because it could get really ugly. Really fast. Depending on how spiritual your husband is. Because spiritually speaking, he is to cleave to you and her and his parents no longer but we'll hit that one but um i have my notes but okay so first of all don't shoot the messenger don't be mad like I'm a straight shooter so part of me it part of me wonders part of me wonders how much is of this is you and I am a big Tracy will tell you I'm a I'm big on what part do I play what part do I own in this yes okay yeah
Starting point is 01:01:09 because part of this might be you and I think it is and one of the reasons why I think it is I think you have a pride issue and the reason I think you have a pride issue is because um a couple things that you said when she you when you said that she embarrassed you in front of your friend because she said your husband is spoiled, I'm like, who freaking cares? I know, I wondered too. Who cares? That was my first response in my head.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Who cares if she says that your husband's spoiled in front of your friend? Your friend knows whether your husband's spoiled or not. And she's going to blow that off. But what happens is we become so critical of what someone is saying because of the disdain that we have for them. That they can't say anything right because we're always ready to pick it apart. Okay. And so there's a pride issue there when it's either pride or you don't like her more than you're willing to admit to yourself. Okay. So being bothered that or being embarrassed that she said your husband spoiled that silliness, that's completely and utter
Starting point is 01:02:21 utter silliness. The other thing is, is it bothers you that she serves him when she's there. And my thing is, is again, that's a pride issue. Because it's like, do you not serve him and take care of him the other times that she's not present? So what if she serves him while she's there? That's a pride issue. Now, are you making sure that she sees that you take care of him and you can take good care of him? Because if that's the case, again, that's a pride issue. You've got to make sure that somebody knows something about you and that point is made.
Starting point is 01:03:05 You understand what I'm saying, ladies? Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah. Do you have anything to add to this so far? No, you don't. I'll keep going. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:17 My whole thing with everything is God will reveal the truth. If your mother-in-law is behaving poorly in front of anyone, God will reveal the truth to whomever she's doing that with, like your friend. Again, I said, like she knows whether or not your husband's spoiled or not. The truth will be revealed about that. If you are taking care of your husband and you're serving him as a good wife should, your mother-in-law will find that out and the truth will be revealed.
Starting point is 01:03:48 And even if it's not, who cares? Who cares? I mean, depending on how often she is, I know I'm bleeding. Oh yeah, I'm bleeding. I picked a hangnail off. Bless you, dear. I love you for that.
Starting point is 01:04:08 You're so good to me. Is this from your drink? It was touching all the water. I don't care. Listen, if that's all this drink is good for, which it pretty much is, I'll take it. It's just the water condensation. Because it's terrible. That drink is terrible.
Starting point is 01:04:33 So if everything is revealed, and I say this, it's something that I repeat. I repeated this today when I was thinking on some things that I know about. There's some issues that are going on that I know that are going on, and there's a stirring. But I could come right out, and I would take care. I could go to each individual situation that are not even related to each other. I could go to each situation, and I could squash it probably. Okay. Because the truth says whatever is done in the dark will be brought to the light. And I could bring it to the light, but God will bring it to the light. So don't put this court, don't put the cart before the horse. You understand what I'm saying? Does that make sense? Because the thing is, is the truth is the truth. You can, you can step into certain things and out of pride, out of resentment, out of offense,
Starting point is 01:05:32 bitterness. Thank you, Logan. All those things can cause you to say and do things that if you just hold off and you let God take care of them, listen, it'll be brought to the light. Now, that's not to say that you don't condone and allow bad behavior, okay? But there's also the right way to handle that, okay? So, and you don't know. Like, through time, things might change because I would put myself into her, put myself in her shoes. Like, is she married? I don't know this because you didn't add this. Is she married until she has a husband at home?
Starting point is 01:06:12 If she is or if she isn't anymore, because you're saying that she's coming and you didn't say anything about both of them coming, what might have happened is an emptiness syndrome, right? Maybe she is married, but she's used to being a wife and a mother. And now all she has is a wife. And she feels probably good in that role, but she was very satisfied. She felt very complete. And she probably felt like she was very satisfied. She felt very complete and she probably felt like she was,
Starting point is 01:06:47 she had some value and that there's a missing element there. Spiritually speaking, there's a missing element for her that she hasn't found that the void that she's missing, she's trying to fill it with your son, your husband, which is her son. She's trying to fill it that way. When God will eventually, and through you praying for her, will reveal to her, you're like overstepping your boundaries in this marriage, and you're trying to fulfill something that God wants. That season's over. We're going to move you over here to this, and you'll be even more fulfilled than you were here, because that season is over. But I would also maybe just put yourself into her shoes and say, why is she doing this?
Starting point is 01:07:29 There's something that's missing. And it is probably a spiritual component because if she was truly fulfilled, she wouldn't be trying to take care of her son who is married. Does that make sense, ladies? So I think through, I'm not saying compassion, but what I'm going to say to you, I think through some time of prayer, of you evaluating yourself, what part do you play in this? Maybe you are, maybe you are so irritated with her and offended by her behavior that you're ready to just pick anything apart, which is not correct. And then, because even the most innocent of things that she does,
Starting point is 01:08:15 you're ready to pounce and believe the worst and the reasoning behind what she's doing. And then on her part, maybe you pray and say, Lord, why is she doing this? And Father, please reveal to her that there's something else that she needs to be operating in to fulfill that role. Let's look at scripture. Your husband is going to maybe have to get involved. And if he does, I mean, you hope that that doesn't happen. But listen, at the end of the day, his job is to stand by you. And you might have to use the scripture for him to understand. But Matthew 19, 5 says, and this is what Jesus said,
Starting point is 01:08:58 for this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. He is now with you. And it may be tough for your husband because, you know, some guys are mama's boys. They are. And if he's the baby, sometimes the babies are real big mama's boys. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:25 They are, huh? Logan's saying yes. I mean, most of the babies that I know that are men, that are the baby of the family, they tend to be more mama's boys than anything else. So unless they didn't have a good mother. But it sounds like he had a good mother because she serves him. She wants to nurture him.
Starting point is 01:09:44 She wants to take care of him. Okay, so it sounds like she had a good mother because she serves him. She wants to nurture him. She wants to take care of him. Okay. So it sounds like she was a decent mom. So his loyalty, though, dear, is to you. And so you need to pray over that as well if that's a situation where it might be tough for him and he might be torn. Because, listen, everybody loves Raymond. Wasn't just made up for nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:02 You know? Robbie and Ray, Raymond, their mama, she had a lot of pool. And so that's not, I mean, I hate how they depict men on that show because they make them look like idiots. But I will just say to you, there's a lot of mothers that are like that. So I'm not discounting that your, that your mother, I'm not saying she's like whatever their mother's name was. What was her mother's name? I don't know either. That's going to drive me crazy. Um, but the, the, I'm, I'm,
Starting point is 01:10:39 I'm not saying that you're not in a hard spot. All I'm saying is it's probably not as hard as it could, it might be, or it could be, but also with God, you can overcome anything. Marie. Marie. I bless you. I was like, that doesn't sound right, but okay.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Oh my gosh. There it is. Okay, now you can go on. Thank you, Jesus. If you have to talk to her, if you end up having to talk to her, because Oh my gosh. There it is. Okay. Now you can go on. Thank you, Jesus. I hate that. If you have to talk to her, if you end up having to talk to her because nothing's working out, I would just have a heart to heart
Starting point is 01:11:13 and I would tell her that where you want to be as a wife, you want to take care of your husband. You want to honor your husband. You give her that scripture about Matthew 19, 5. You give her that scripture. If she's a godly woman, she's going to have to honor that scripture. She may not like it.
Starting point is 01:11:32 But if you tell her the heart behind it is so that you can honor and love your husband, how can a mother, I mean, listen, I'm just telling you, as a mother, if my son's wife came to me and said, hey, listen, I'm just telling you. As a mother, my son's wife came to me and said, hey, listen, I want to serve your son. I want to honor your son. I want to respect your son. Please allow me to do that when you're here. I'd be like, sounds good to me.
Starting point is 01:11:59 All day long. I mean, because women don't do that anymore. They don't. So I would just be like, dang, my kid picked a really good one here. And maybe just having that heart-to-heart, sharing where you're really at and the whole thing. I mean, she might have hurt feelings. You don't have to say you embarrass me when you say these things. All you got to do is hit the important things, and the rest will fall into place.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And God will give you discernment. He'll tell you what to say. He'll tell you what to do. The Holy Spirit, just ask him to speak for you. I don't know. I mean, I can probably tell you, like girls, how many times have you walked into a situation and you said, Holy Spirit,
Starting point is 01:12:40 I don't really know how this meeting's gonna go, but I'm asking you to lead, guide, and direct me through it. Say what needs to be said and keep my mouth shut where it doesn't need to be said. And then you walk in, he does the work and you walk out and you go, that was way better than I ever hoped it would be. Every day. All the time. All the time. At this point in life all the time yeah yeah it has to be it has to especially in one of these because it's family yeah yeah and then you just don't want to go in and be reckless no no because you're gonna live with these people right till you die
Starting point is 01:13:19 or they die and you want it to be one that's harmonious. Yeah. It has to be like fluid. Like when she walks in that door, her grandbabies are excited to see her. You're excited to see her. And there is absolutely no tension because children feel tension. Yes. Oh, Logan, do you know who this is? No, but I don't. So what year is that?
Starting point is 01:13:44 Four years. Well, they might someday. Well, your perspective might change, but hey, listen, the more angry and bitter and offensive you get, you will carry that on over to your kids because you're like, you're doing that to my husband? You ain't now doing that to my kids. Because you get more and more protective over your domain.
Starting point is 01:14:08 That's just the way it is. Women by nature are mama bears. I mean, even Vanessa, who's a cuddly kitten can turn into a mama bear. Yeah. Yeah. Like,
Starting point is 01:14:23 Oh yeah. Yes. You can pretty much like push her over,. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes. You can pretty much push her over, but not when it comes to her kids. You're going to get the beat down. So most women, even the ones that are the nicest of the nice, you start messing with their kids,
Starting point is 01:14:38 or you start acting like if your mother-in-law comes in and starts now doing the same thing through the grandbabies issues doing to your husband that's not gonna work that's a no-no yeah and you'll feel like that right so like i would lean into it like you want to cook dinner yes go for it yeah like give me a day off but the problem is with that is that enables bad behavior okay because to a certain extent i agree with you yeah but if she's overstepping her boundaries what you're doing is you're enabling her to take a role on that she has absolutely no business doing. There's a fine line with everything. So I wouldn't lean into it.
Starting point is 01:15:31 I wouldn't lean into it in any way, shape or form. I'd make sure that boundaries are set as respectfully as possible. I would keep my pride out of it completely. Keep your pride out of it completely. Come to terms. And then once you have those terms, then when she wants to make dinner, absolutely make dinner because the boundaries have been set. The respectful, like the lines of respect are there. And now there's no, you're not thinking there's a hidden agenda and resenting and just saying, I'm going to just let her do it because she wants to do it. And no, now when she's making dinner, there's a chance of it being a fun time together. There's a purity behind it. Whereas you're just now succumbing to this is the way it'll be.
Starting point is 01:16:20 A lot of times that creates even more resentment. So I think there's something to be said every single time when you face an issue, you face it with transparency. And that's not always fun and that's not always easy, but it's more fun and more easy if you get you out of the way. And a lot of times that means getting rid of the bitter, bitterness, anger,
Starting point is 01:16:46 animosity, offense, and pride. Pride usually is the key to everything. The reason you're offended is because your pride's hurt. The reason you're bitter is because your pride's hurt. A lot of things all stems from pride. That's why Proverbs 16 is very clear. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. You want things to fall apart? Be prideful. Proverbs 9 11 says, good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger. And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offense without seeking revenge and harboring resentment. If you take care of things, if you take care of things properly, honor your mother-in-law, respect your mother-in-law, whether she respects you or not.
Starting point is 01:17:35 You still, because the word is clear, we're to honor our mothers and fathers, right? Now you would say, well, that's my husband's job. And there is to a certain extent but you become one flesh so you have a duty to be honoring and respectful that does not mean you're a doormat it doesn't and that doesn't mean that you can't set boundary lines but transparency and honesty doing it in the right way, you win friends instead of making enemies. So the other thing I would tell you is if you can't do all that, what I just said,
Starting point is 01:18:13 because some people can't do confrontation, they'll just, they would rather lean in, okay? That doesn't mean when I say they'd rather lean in, that's not, I'm not busting on what Vanessa's saying. Because what Vanessa would lean in and she wouldn't, I'm not busting on what Vanessa is saying. Cause what Vanessa would lean in and she wouldn't even think a lick about it. Cause my, my baseline wouldn't be pride, right? So I would just lean in and just like, whatever, let's go. Yeah. That's not, but most people will not do it that way. So I'm saying to you is if you're going to lean in because you can't confront and you can't handle it. Okay. Then you make sure of one
Starting point is 01:18:46 thing. One is you don't allow one person to have authority over you. You want to ruin your anointing. You want to ruin your, you want to have barriers in your walk with God. You want to make sure that there are certain things that you never attain. Walk in, stay with offense, bitterness, and unforgiveness. You have no right. Unforgiveness is not an option, just so you know. And so much you forgive, you are forgiven. So you don't have that option, but if you wanna play it, I mean, you can.
Starting point is 01:19:17 It's dangerous, but as long as you do that, never let, and I love this term, but never let anyone rent space in your mind. Don't. They don't care about you. You're not renting space in their mind. And even if both of you feel the same way, where does that get you? Nowhere.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Nowhere. All you're doing is walking in all the things opposite of what God wants you to walk in. And you don't want to accomplish anything for the Lord? Keep walking in all the things opposite of what God wants you to walk in. And you don't want to accomplish anything for the Lord, keep walking in all that. Because it distracts you and it makes you unusable for the kingdom. And for me, nobody's worth it. Not one single solitary person. There ain't one person. And I mean, I love my kids, but they don't even compare to how much I love my husband. Not even close. My kids don't even come close to how much I love Tom.
Starting point is 01:20:12 And I'm just telling you, even he won't rent space in my mind. Nobody deserves that. The only person that does is Jesus himself, the Trinity, God, Holy Spirit. That's it. And if you learn to walk like that you will be free from a lot of nonsense that satan would love to distract you with because all this is is a distraction it's just keeping you busy about nothing a whole lot of nothing when you got a whole lot of things to be doing for him time is short so don't waste it what do we got girls add anything what is that okay you can't
Starting point is 01:20:48 see what i see oh my gosh so whenever you're ready i don't know it's like the whole song yeah i don't so i don't know what part so is it do you like i do i know because i watched the video i remember what the part was that can you do it just a little bit before that? You want the part that you were singing? Just a teeny tiny bit before that. Okay. So does anybody want to add to that? Vanessa, while they were working on over there to finish up the show?
Starting point is 01:21:16 No, I think you showed it. I think it was very clear. Yeah. What about you, Sarah? Sarah that doesn't have a problem with her mother-in-law? Sarah, what do you got to say? I don't. I know.
Starting point is 01:21:25 I'm just kidding. Yeah, I definitely would take it to the Lord, ask him to reveal what's going on in you that's making you feel that way. And then if it's still irksome, then talk to your husband in a very chill way. Like, this is bothering me, honey. I want to talk to you husband in a very chill like chill way like i just this is bothering me honey i want to talk to you about this and um see what what his response is but honestly it sounds like yeah huge distraction like what are you supposed to be doing in the kingdom yeah and this is and then the frequency too like if it's every now and then, then definitely get over yourself.
Starting point is 01:22:08 If it's every day, then it's probably a conversation. If she's visiting once a month. I will tell you this. You go and talk to your husband, but remember what the word says. If you have a grievance or an issue with your brother or sister, you go to them. Okay. You're not going to send your husband in and take care of this. This is your problem. So the word says you go and you speak to them and them alone. I agree. I agree with Sarah. Go and maybe, And maybe because it's not gossip unless you start trying to hurt the integrity of the mother-in-law. Then you're entering into gossip.
Starting point is 01:22:52 And everybody knows when they cross the line and they're trying to injure somebody's credibility or trying to make a person look really bad. Okay. So even that's not allowed. I just talked about that last week, even that and gossip, even with families and husbands and wives and stuff like that, you can talk to each other, but you can't gossip with each other. People think, oh, it's free. You know, even somebody just said, well, Pastor Tom said, you can talk if you're, if you're a kid, you can talk to your parents about things. Yeah, he did say that.
Starting point is 01:23:25 But he didn't give you license to go and start gossiping and tearing people down. What he was saying is if you have an issue, take it to your parent so that they can help you work through it. Not so you can start, like, I mean, literally people love to tear people apart. You're gossiping, just so you know that. And that's hell bouncing. So be careful when you start talking about the mother-in-law. Make it about the situation and only the situation and not what you believe or what you think her intentions are. Because you don't know them.
Starting point is 01:24:02 You don't know them. And so you don't know them. You don't know them. And so you don't know her heart unless you go and you speak to her directly and then she tells you specifically that is not for you to judge. Remember that because once you start judging, you cross the line even with that. So be very, very careful with that. But absolutely, I think it's something you should speak to your husband about if you feel that's necessary. But be very careful to the lengths that you go in speaking to him about things because you don't want to cross the line into sin yourself. So that's it. Okay.
