1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,120 Hey, everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast, where we're going to help 2 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:11,020 you discover your kingdom destiny. 3 00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:15,520 My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,920 And in this episode, we're going to discuss how to manifest blessings in your life. 5 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,920 But before we jump into this topic and more, Rabbi, did you do anything interesting over 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,640 the weekend or did you just kind of enjoy yourself? 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,160 Yeah, this weekend, probably the most interesting thing we did was really have a time to be 8 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,760 able to, Christy and I, to be able to review. 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,400 I know it's taken a while, but to review our trip to Israel and kind of download and 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,120 talk about what were the takeaways spiritually for she and I, not looking at the humanitarian 11 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,480 aid side, not looking at the trauma of the terror, not looking at the needs and, you 12 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:04,520 know, like our staff there, but just she and I, you know, as a couple and as a family, 13 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,480 what did we learn? 14 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,480 What should we learn? 15 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,360 What do we need to change and adjust? 16 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,120 Because anytime you have a defining moment in your life, you need to take time to kind 17 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,680 of mine out the nuggets and you need to do it before the, so to say, before the information 18 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,680 gets old. 19 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,820 So anyway, that's what we did. 20 00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:28,280 We just mined out the nuggets of what the Lord's trying to do with us. 21 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,560 Yeah, yeah. 22 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:36,200 I guess on another note, you know, I mean, 2024 has really started pretty much on fire 23 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,680 with getting like a lot of different requests to do some speaking engagements and, you know, 24 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,080 I mean, very typical to have a good random rotation of requests. 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,680 When I got here like two years ago, it was pretty out of control. 26 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,600 Like you just had so many and they were so random. 27 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,800 And so I think we've done a good job at trying to not condense, but get it more organized 28 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,760 into a workflow for you. 29 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:08,280 But is it still fun doing all these requests and, you know, all these speaking engagements? 30 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:18,580 Yeah, listen, I, what I do is I really pray for seriously, I really pray over everyone. 31 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,300 And sometimes I know there might be people listening and saying, well, we asked them 32 00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,080 to come, he didn't speak. 33 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,280 I don't, boy, you're asking a real loaded question here. 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,280 I don't- 35 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,280 Is it fun? 36 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Is it fun? 37 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,280 Fun. 38 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,120 It's always fun when it's really the Lord sending you out, even in difficult speaking 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,120 places. 40 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,120 Okay. 41 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,920 I mean, the Lord may like send you into like some of the places we went into in Nicaragua, 42 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,240 dangerous, difficult, difficult accommodations. 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600 You can't drink the water, the food, all the stuff. 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,920 But they, yeah, they, I don't know if fun's the right word, but they're very fulfilling. 45 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,320 But with us, what we do is if we, if we feel led that what we're carrying the people need, 46 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,320 it's fun. 47 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200 You can't just take the speaking engagement because you're trying to fill a calendar. 48 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200 I guess that's what I'm trying to say, Darrell. 49 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200 Yeah, yeah. 50 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880 No, completely out of left field. 51 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880 You had no idea I was going to ask that. 52 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:20,120 And you know, I think that's what's cool about a platform and like a show like this is that 53 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,480 it's very sometimes out of left field. 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,280 And that's when you get the best responses, the most organic responses. 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,920 I feel like that the Holy Spirit works through you a little bit different when you get these 56 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,640 random questions from me or, you know, questions from the listeners. 57 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,220 And anyways, I guess, I guess it's a good segue to say, hey, if you've got questions 58 00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:45,800 and you know, you've got topics and you want to do some different stuff and you want to 59 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,360 figure out how to get in touch with us, just send your email to podcast at curtlandry.com. 60 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,760 Make sure to fill out what you're trying to do, what your topic is, and just say it's 61 00:03:56,760

these episodes as podcasts, make sure to leave us a review 64 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,960 on Spotify, Apple, just wherever you're listening to this podcast. 65 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000 It really, really helps the show. 66 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,680 And I think it shows other people that are looking for a good podcast in this nature 67 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,040 that there's credibility on the podcast because other people are reviewing it and we would 68 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120 just kindly ask you to jump in there. 69 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,120 All right. 70 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,720 So in this episode, Rabbi, we're really discussing the topic of manifesting blessings or I guess 71 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,360 the question how to manifest blessing. 72 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,520 So I guess when you get that question or over your lifespan of preaching and just spreading 73 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,320 the word, how do you really respond to that when someone's saying, hey, I'm trying to 74 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,320 figure this out. 75 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480 I'm trying to activate that. 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,400 Where do you start? 77 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,160 Let's try to really take baby steps into this. 78 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,160 Okay. 79 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Blessings flow. 80 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360 Okay, they flow. 81 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,120 So let's imagine a river, okay? 82 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Rivers flow and they go to the lowest spot, they follow that low spot, which is symbolic 83 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200 of humility and they flow. 84 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:29,160 A lot of the ways the Lord refers to us as trees. 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,200 And when we're in right alignment with the flow, He says, you shall be a tree planted 86 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:42,080 by the river of living water, meaning that your destiny for blessings comes from your 87 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,240 root system, not from your branches. 88 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,180 So it's what's underneath you, not what's above that everybody sees. 89 00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:58,880 So it's character, it's integrity, it's values that the roots underneath is what's really 90 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,200 important. 91 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,520 And so there's really two types of blessings and if you want, I can kind of unpack those 92 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:14,840 because to understand how blessings flow in that river, then it will help people to…I'm 93 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:22,200 one of the ones that I have spent the majority of my life trying to flow with God and His 94 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000 blessings and not have to go chase it. 95 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,040 I'm not a chaser. 96 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:36,320 And so I think people need to understand how blessings work and how do you attract them 97 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,600 or receive them into your life to where there's actually deliverables in your life. 98 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360 Yeah, yeah. 99 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,160 One thing before we jump really into that and you break it down and let the listeners 100 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,880 know how they can kind of work through this is that if you're working on goals in 2024, 101 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,400 you definitely need this free resource, Goals to Grow By 2024 Edition. 102 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,280 It's Rabbi Kurt's game plan. 103 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:10,000 If you want to accomplish goals and do some big things in your life and make some changes, 104 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,580 you're going to need this guide. 105 00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:17,920 It's completely free, paid for by you, people listening and people donating. 106 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,760 And so you want to get that free download, we'll put the link in the description, but 107 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,040 it's kurtlandry.com forward slash goals 2024. 108 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,800 You want to make sure you get that. 109 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,160 So Rabbi, break down the different variations of blessings for us. 110 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Okay, so let's go with the first one. 111 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:42,800 The first one is blessing of obedience, where if you do this, I call it, for me, I call 112 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280 it cause and effect. 113 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,680 So if you do this, then God does that. 114 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,200 And so, and you people say, well, is that biblical or theologically correct? 115 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,200 And it is. 116 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,920 If you go to Deuteronomy 28, it says, Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey 117 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:08,600 my voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully His commandments, which I have commanded 118 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:15,120 you today, that the Lord God will set you high above all the nations. 119 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,480 And then it goes through 16 verses of, I'll bless you in the city, I'll bless you in the 120 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,520 country, I'll bless, bless, bless. 121 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:29,320 But then if you go into Deuteronomy 28, you get to the verse, actually it was 14 verses, 122 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,520 you get to the 15th verse and it talks about cursing of disobedience. 123 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:41,920 So there's quite, that's a blessing of, if you do this, then I'll do that. 124 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880 So that's a blessing of obedience. 125 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,200 But the second type of blessing, and I don't think people realize is what I call is a 126 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,900 commanded blessing. 127 00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:57,560 So what your commanded blessing would be like Psalm 133, where the scripture says how good 128 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,640 and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. 129 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000 Then it goes on, it talks about the unity of down the head and the beard and the garment 130 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,800 of Aaron, but it ends with, and I will command a commanded blessing. 131 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,760 Meaning if you stay in unity, I command a blessing. 132 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,600 And one of the ones that we have done for at House of David for 22 years, just I'll 133 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,960 read this to you, Psalm 122. 134 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,680 And it's one of the reasons that every time we come together on Shabbat at House of David, 135 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:31,680 we've prayed this. 136 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,880 It says, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 137 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,440 May they prosper who love you. 138 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Peace be within their walls, prosperity within their palaces. 139 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,180 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say peace be within you. 140 00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:50,260 Because of the house of the Lord God, I will seek your good. 141 00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:52,040 So the Lord is not a request. 142 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,280 He's commanding you to speak and pray peace over Jerusalem. 143 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,300 And then you get prosperity comes to you. 144 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:05,400 So that's a commanded blessing, a commanded prayer and a commanded blessing. 145 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880 So this is kind of new in Western culture. 146 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:15,960 Passover, if you go to Exodus 15, there's actually nine commanded blessings for putting 147 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,240 your feet under the Lord's table. 148 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,680 Nine blessings. 149 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,760 And so that's one of the reasons we do that every year. 150 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,360 So there's blessings of obedience and there's blessings of commanded blessings. 151 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,120 And you can go into Malachi 3, if you bring tithes and offerings, there's commanded blessings 152 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,820 of open heaven, health, rebuke the devour, and favor with the nations. 153 00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:42,720 So blessings aren't luck. 154 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Blessings aren't even favor. 155 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:52,160 Blessings are something that flows when you do things God's way. 156 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:58,160 I guess what if someone is dealing with a sin, right? 157 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600 I mean, it can be whatever. 158 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,960 I think the one that's probably used the most for men would be like pornography or something, 159 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,960 right? 160 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:16,560 Or it could be, you know, gluttony, which is a big problem in this country where people 161 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:17,880 just overeat, right? 162 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720 And like that can become a thing too. 163 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,360 But let's say somebody's been working really hard, right? 164 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,560 They've even downloaded Goals to Grow this year and they're trying to work through this 165 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:32,960 stuff and they're trying to figure it out. 166 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,600 But like Dan Goumet, you know, they just keep sinning, you know? 167 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,480 Like what it says in Scripture, we love to sin. 168 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,480 And we do. 169 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,400 And so where is the different type of blessings you just walk through? 170 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Let's put it into a listener's perspective and be super relational and practical, is 171 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,000 that if someone's dealing with a sin that's just reoccurring, man, and like they're just 172 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,680 struggling with this and they do good for a month or two and then they come back to 173 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,020 it, right? 174 00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:07,920 And they just beat themselves up about it. 175 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,800 But it's that thought because I mean, you know, I've gone through sins to where like 176 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:18,800 I could see the blessings in the season or like, you know, I didn't do that one sin and 177 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400 I felt like I defeated it, right? 178 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:28,640 And then as soon as you mess up, the thought comes to you and super overwhelming that is, 179 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,560 man, you know, I just lost all that favor. 180 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,080 I just lost the blessing, you know? 181 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:40,120 Like am I going to be able, like I just wish I could go back 15 seconds ago and not do 182 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,360 that. 183 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:48,040 What would your advice be for someone that's in that sin to blessing area to where like 184 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:57,720 it's really hard to like forgive themselves or figure out how to pivot over that moment? 185 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,240 You know, Paul says it in Romans, he talks about there's nothing good in man. 186 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,880 So what happens is you have to get to a place where you get into, now this is how I manage 187 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,600 it in my own life. 188 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,640 And I've been blessed because I wasn't raised religious and I'm not legalistic. 189 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,280 And so I'm just going to share the whole purpose of this podcast is personal. 190 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,240 And then I'm going to tell a funny story. 191 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,240 Okay. 192 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,240 Okay. 193 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,240 So first of all, you need to have a repentive lifestyle. 194 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:40,800 You're not going to, you can overcome sins, sexual sins, whatever it may be. 195 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,200 And even if you're overcoming them, when you fail, you need to be able to be quick to repent 196 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,320 and not just apologize to God, but with godly sorrow and then ask the Lord to strengthen 197 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,440 you so the next time that the temptation comes that he'll empower you to do it. 198 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,880 But understand that once you start, and I'm going to use the sexual sin because I got 199 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,240 a really great story for it. 200 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Once you come to the terms with it, you need to know once you overcome it at one level, 201 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,120 he's going to come back and hit you at another level and he's going to hit you at a higher 202 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,600 level because he's going to try to get you back into that bondage. 203 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,840 Okay. 204 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:25,960 But you also need to understand, so I'm going to share with you, when I was in business, 205 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:33,360 in the fruit business, one of my business partners, now listen, we really strive to 206 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,360 be holy. 207 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,780 We prayed five days a week every morning for an hour and a half before we went on the phones 208 00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:41,920 to sell fruit. 209 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,320 Okay. 210 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,420 We sowed 35% of the income of our fruit business to Israel. 211 00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:50,920 So this isn't like a normal business. 212 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960 I mean, we're godly men. 213 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,960 We're all married. 214 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,880 We have children. 215 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,840 And we're in our late 30s and 40s and we're making a lot of money. 216 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:10,900 And so when you're in that atmosphere in your late 30s, the thing about having finance is 217 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,920 it gives you the freedom to do things that people that don't have finance, they don't 218 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,920 have to battle the temptations of what they're doing with us. 219 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,080 We have enough resources. 220 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600 We can go and do whatever we want. 221 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,160 And so at a young age, and so what happens is you have to learn how to manage your character 222 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:36,400 and your values along with the finances because the finances, you know, it can be an answer, 223 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760 but it can also bring you down if you don't know how to do it. 224 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800 So I'm going to give you a funny story about this. 225 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:49,720 So we go to a, we go, we used to go to marketing produce shows. 226 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,960 And so, so we were at this one and it was Fleming Foods. 227 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,960 So big food distributor. 228 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,080 So there's everything there from produce to fish to meat to everything. 229 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,360 And one of the, one of the greatest things is we had our fruit booth and it was next 230 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,760 to one of my favorite cooking show hosts and it's Justin Williams, William. 231 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,280 So I don't, a lot of people may not know who that is, but he was the Cajun chef from New 232 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Orleans and he was the one that used to say, ah, gone, gee, you know, that guy, you know, 233 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,560 and he was a comedian. 234 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,000 He was a comedian and he's really good. 235 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,400 But the thing is, is that he drinks through the whole show, the whole show he's drinking 236 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,240 and he could tell us why he, I'm just on Wilson and I'm, you know, and he, and so anyway, 237 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,480 so he had the Justin Wilson booth set up next to us and right. 238 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,680 And of course he's drinking in the, in the booth, you know, he's, you know, happy and, 239 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,680 and all this stuff. 240 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,940 And I got to talk to him and, and spend, you know, there are three days. 241 00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:56,320 So anyway, one morning we're there and my business partners are there. 242 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,460 There's three of us and two other guys that are in, in the grocery business like us. 243 00:17:02,460 --> 00:17:05,680 Now you have to understand the grocery business is pretty corrupt. 244 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,680 Okay. 245 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000 That's all I want to say about that. 246 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040 It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a worldly corrupt. 247 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,920 A lot of stuff goes on. 248 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,920 Okay. 249 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,360 So to have the Christian guys, we're like the, we're, we're ostracized by all the other 250 00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:26,560 guys who are at the convention that are partying and running around and getting friendly with 251 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,560 people that they have to pay for. 252 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,800 So I'll just say it that way. 253 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,800 Okay. 254 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,800 So, so that's tracking. 255 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,800 That's the atmosphere. 256 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,800 Right. 257 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,800 And then you got the Jesus freaks. 258 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,140 It's us. 259 00:17:36,140 --> 00:17:41,420 So the five Jesus freaks are in our booth and we're sitting there and one of my business 260 00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:43,680 partners dealing with this issue. 261 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,020 And he says, you know what? 262 00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:47,280 He says, I really have had victory all this time. 263 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,480 I'm feeling great. 264 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,880 I'm overcoming the spiritual lusts in the women and I'm good. 265 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,880 And I haven't had a temptation and I'm, and the Lord's really, and he's really kind of 266 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,080 just telling us and encouraging like, Hey, I'm doing great with this thing like this. 267 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,920 So meanwhile, I'm in my back to the booth. 268 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880 He's got his back to the traffic area. 269 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,880 Right. 270 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,200 And he's talking about it. 271 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,040 And I look and off in the distance, here comes the Budweiser girl. 272 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040 Okay. 273 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,640 Oh, the Lord has a sense of humor. 274 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,640 Okay. 275 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,640 This is a true story too. 276 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:29,800 So here comes the Budweiser girl and basically she's wearing a spandex beer can that is shaped 277 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,800 to her body. 278 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,800 Yeah. 279 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,720 Is this like the eighties, nineties? 280 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,720 What's the reference? 281 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,720 This would be the nineties. 282 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,720 Nineties. 283 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,720 Okay. 284 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,720 This is the nineties. 285 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,720 Okay. 286 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,960 So, and, and she has a lot of artificial intelligence into her body. 287 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,960 Okay. 288 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,960 So we'll call it that way. 289 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,960 Okay. 290 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,240 So, so, so, so her figure that she's wearing, she's had a lot of hamburger helper. 291 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,240 Okay. 292 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,240 This isn't like a norm. 293 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,880 No one has a normal body like this. 294 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,880 Okay. 295 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,880 Okay. 296 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,880 So she's in the spandex. 297 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,000 I'm not trying to drag you guys all down and go, man, look, he's on the podcast. 298 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000 He's making me sin. 299 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000 No, I'm not. 300 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,760 I'm making my point, but she's, I see her off in the distance and here she's coming. 301 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,400 And of course there's Justin Wilson in the next booth. 302 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,400 And of course he's like, you know, he's, you know, Caesar coming, he wants to visit. 303 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120 And so here she's coming up from behind us and here's my partner talking about how he's 304 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,320 just had this great victory. 305 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,960 And, and so, and I'm telling him, I said, listen, it's great to rejoice in this, but 306 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,580 it's not your perfection. 307 00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:32,320 It's your ability to, and I'm the youngest Christian there. 308 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,140 I'm saying it's your ability to repent because what happens is, you know, once you think 309 00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,440 you've overcome something, a temptation will come and it's like Paul said, I do the things 310 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,560 I don't want to do. 311 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,280 I said, so you can't take your identity and go down into the ditch because you sin. 312 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:54,400 You just have to repent and sincerely repent to the Lord because temptations will come. 313 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,440 So I'm telling them this. 314 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,440 This is the convert. 315 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,440 You can't make this stuff up. 316 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,740 I'm telling them this. 317 00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:04,160 And meanwhile, around the corner going to Justin Wilson, who's very loud, Justin says, 318 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,760 oh, my dear or whatever like that, and here's my business partner. 319 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,480 He turns around after I just gave this thing and there's the Budweiser girl standing there. 320 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,240 And he goes, and he was a funny guy, a great sense of humor. 321 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,640 He turned around and he went with his face and he said, well, my victory's over. 322 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,880 My victory's over. 323 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960 I fell back to sin again. 324 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,440 And that's kind of what I'm sharing. 325 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,440 That's real life. 326 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,120 That's how things go. 327 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,120 So you see what I'm saying? 328 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,160 The point is you have to resist the sin, draw an eye onto God. 329 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,240 But when you fall, don't condemn yourself. 330 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,680 There's no condemnation. 331 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,760 But you do have to repent. 332 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,200 And you need people you can talk to about it. 333 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,200 The word says confess your faults one to another. 334 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,220 And so you need to be careful who you repent to because they don't use it against you. 335 00:20:57,220 --> 00:21:02,680 But my point is, is yes, you sin and you're going to sin, your identity of who you are 336 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,760 in Christ is who you are being covered in the blood of Jesus with the full armor of 337 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,760 God. 338 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,760 I don't know if that helps or not. 339 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Yeah, no, a great story. 340 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:22,640 It brings this thought to mind of how intense and just like the question and different stuff 341 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,200 that we started off this episode that kind of took you out of left field, right? 342 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:37,560 It's so intense and so random of how the enemy attacks and tries to block blessings. 343 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,320 I mean, he's sitting there in the story, right? 344 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,320 So you're telling it. 345 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:48,040 I'm trying to play a movie in my head and try to draw what's happening. 346 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,560 That's just the type of learner I am. 347 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,480 And he's sitting there just doing his thing. 348 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,120 And yeah, he's bragging. 349 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,480 But he's feeling good about himself. 350 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,960 And then the enemy just like that out of nowhere gets him. 351 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,880 And it's such a humbling experience. 352 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,840 And Paul, in that scripture that you're reading, I mean, that's the scripture for men. 353 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,920 I feel like that they go to because of that. 354 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Just walking around nowadays in 2024. 355 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:29,560 It's harder and harder to be a godly man to get away from that lust because it's just 356 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,560 everywhere. 357 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,400 And so is it just not wild though? 358 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,200 Other than that topic, any other sin that when you're at the edge of feeling, hey, I'm 359 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,720 on this, not that you put yourself on that pedestal, but you're feeling good. 360 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:52,120 You are kind of giving yourself a pat on the back and he just comes in and gets you. 361 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:53,120 Okay. 362 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,840 Well, listen, you know this. 363 00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:03,680 I did a spiritual warfare prayer, urgent prayer against Leviathan and against Python the other 364 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,080 night where we had the sound issue thing. 365 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,400 My mic was, who knows what that is. 366 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,880 But anyway, and what I explained is when the enemy attacks, there's two times the enemy 367 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,000 attacks, okay, he attacks you right after you have a victory. 368 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,920 I mean, you have a breakthrough and a victory and that Python spirit is going to come like 369 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,600 a constrictor and try to steal the joy. 370 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,880 I mean, think about it. 371 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:40,520 How many times have you had this where you've had something that was great that happens 372 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,520 to you? 373 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,740 I mean, it's the greatest thing. 374 00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:49,360 And you go to one of your family members and you say, oh man, this is the greatest thing. 375 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,360 I mean, you're on top of the world. 376 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:57,440 You had this victory, you're telling the story and then they respond negatively against what 377 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,560 you've said. 378 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520 And it's like all of a sudden, all the gas goes out of the tank. 379 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,120 You're on the side of the road going, man, and why did I share that with them? 380 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,120 I mean, everyone's had that experience. 381 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,620 Well, in the spirit, the same thing happens. 382 00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:15,960 What happens is what I said the other night was when you have victory, you're vulnerable. 383 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:22,160 You see, the thing is when the scripture says that when the thief comes to steal, if you 384 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,640 knew he was going to steal, so what you have to do is prepare your mind after you have 385 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:33,860 a victory to stay humble and know I'm going to shut down the attack for the attack comes. 386 00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:37,560 Another time it comes is when you're being promoted. 387 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:44,240 So the biggest attack, I can tell you this in this season, 2024. 388 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:53,680 Those who are willing to fill out their goals to grow, add their dream goals to it, feed 389 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,120 their spirit, man. 390 00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:02,440 And I used to tell people this back during that time when like when we were in business, 391 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,320 I used to say, listen, all of us go into a room with two birds. 392 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,200 You got a crow on one shoulder and a dove on the other. 393 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,880 Feed the dove, starve the crow. 394 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,640 And so what happens is when promotion comes, anytime there's a promotion, and that's 395 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,400 where we are right now, you're at the beginning of this year and God is wanting to promote 396 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,800 people who will be obedient to do what he asked them to do. 397 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,800 That's why I have the goals to grow. 398 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,800 Those people are being attacked. 399 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,540 And one of the things that happens in the attack is old past iniquitous structures. 400 00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:43,800 So whatever it is that you got delivered from or got set free from, all of a sudden, wham, 401 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,160 wham, crazy thoughts and these things start to come back. 402 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:53,760 And it could be, you know, being critical, judgmental, it can be poverty, or like, you 403 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,720 know, it can be sexual, it can be all over the place. 404 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,320 It doesn't make any difference. 405 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,840 But anytime there's a promotion, the enemy always tries to dig up trash on you and bring 406 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:09,080 it into your head to try to make you feel unworthy for the promotion. 407 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:19,240 What's the first level practical step that someone can do after a sin or a series of 408 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080 sins trying to correct that? 409 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,840 What's that base level thing that they can do to create, manifest blessings from the 410 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,840 sin? 411 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,560 Godly sorrow with repentance. 412 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240 And I've got my Bible here, I'm going to try to find it. 413 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,840 But anyway, what David used to pray, you know, and David had the same challenges we just 414 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,680 talked about. 415 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,360 And he said, Lord, I don't have to go find it because I pray it every day. 416 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:53,960 Father God in Yeshua's name, search me and know me for I desire truth in my inward parts. 417 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,420 Lord, wherever this root of this sin is coming from, I repent. 418 00:26:58,420 --> 00:27:03,920 And I ask Lord that in Jesus name, I choose to uproot. 419 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,760 I uproot this inequitous structure and it says right here, you have set our iniquities 420 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,400 before you, our secret sins in the light of your continent. 421 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,320 So Lord, that's Psalm 90 verse eight. 422 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,240 So Lord, I'm bringing my sin and my weakness into the light. 423 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,240 I repent of it. 424 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,400 And Lord, I ask you by your strength to set me free from the snare of the Fowler in Jesus 425 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,400 name. 426 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,160 So that's what I do. 427 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,420 And that's what works. 428 00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:34,520 And we'll be right back. 429 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,940 It's a new year and a new you. 430

your physical life, just the overall goal setting for this calendar 475 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,680 year. 476 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,920 I think as we turn towards the end of this podcast, I think it's really important to 477 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:45,320 keep perspective on that we feel like we... 478 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840 I mean, it's a fact, we all sin, right? 479 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,400 And we can all get stuck in that. 480 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:59,280 That being repentive quickly, I think is maybe one of the big takeaways that I've taken from 481 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920 this episode with you. 482 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:09,120 Just being able to, when it happens, recognize it quickly and have a game plan. 483 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,960 And so what would your advice game plan, other than what you've just shared a few seconds 484 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,680 ago, what's something even simpler, right? 485 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,680 Maybe is there a passage or something that like something happens, you sin, hey, I recognize 486 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,880 it very quickly. 487 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,980 Where can I go and jump to my Bible to just meditate in and to pray and to try to break 488 00:32:31,980 --> 00:32:33,960 what the enemy has just put on me? 489 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:40,480 Well, one of the things you might want to do is fast and pray. 490 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:48,160 Usually generational curses and things that have deep roots, generational curses are in 491 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,520 equidist structures that you inherit through your DNA and your family, spiritual and physical 492 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,120 DNA. 493 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:03,120 So when you have those fasting, the scripture says some of those only come out with prayer 494 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,660 and fasting. 495 00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:12,640 The other thing that I recommend, and a lot of it has to do with the anointing that's 496 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,720 here at House of David, is water immersion or water baptism. 497 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,360 So I'm going to read this scripture. 498 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:29,520 I think this is probably, so for me, I don't miss an immersion service at House of David, 499 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,640 and one of the reasons I don't, let's listen to this scripture in 2nd Colossians chapter 500 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,200 2 verse 11. 501 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:44,000 It says, and in him you are the circumcision with the circumcision made without hands by 502 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,720 the putting off of the body of sin. 503 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,720 So that's the key. 504 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,560 What we're talking about is when we're battling sin, we want to put it off so it doesn't torment 505 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,560 us. 506 00:33:52,560 --> 00:34:00,320 Say, putting off the body of sin of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, buried with 507 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:09,640 him in baptism and water immersion, in which you also were raised with him through the 508 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:17,260 faith of the working of God who raised him from the dead, and you being dead in trespasses. 509 00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:21,480 That's the thing is the continual sin keeps killing the blessing. 510 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400 That's what you're asking me, like, how do we maintain blessing? 511 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,200 You know, you can get the blessing of the fish, but if you take it home, put it in the 512 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,880 wrong tank, the fish is going to die. 513 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:40,520 So it goes on to say that, and you being dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your 514 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:47,600 flesh having been made alive together with him, having been forgiven, so that's the key, 515 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,080 being forgiven of your trespasses. 516 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,960 Verse 14, having wiped out the handwriting or the requirements that are against us, which 517 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:05,080 is contrary to us, and he has taken out of the way, having nailed it to the cross, having, 518 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:12,120 here's the key, water baptism, having disarmed the principalities and the power, and he says 519 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,200 he made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them in that. 520 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,160 That's the reason we have an immersion pool at House of David, is because it's not double 521 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,960 baptism or, you baptize once into salvation, but the power of water immersion, what it 522 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,840 does is it buries iniquitous structures. 523 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:38,480 So to answer your question simply is, I would have a lifestyle of fasting and I would have 524 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,640 a lifestyle of immersion to keep you, I know that's me, I've been in the immersion, well, 525 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,120 I don't know how many times, but we've had literally tens of thousands of people here. 526 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:55,800 But the reason that that's part of the lifestyle is there has to be a understanding that there's 527 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,840 some times where you have to be transparent, the scripture says, confess your faults one 528 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:00,840 to another. 529 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,300 It's also important to confess your faults to God. 530 00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:09,520 Even though God sees them, I say, Lord, I failed, I've sinned, and Lord, I bring my sin before 531 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:15,280 you, and Lord, I ask you to bury it in this water, I ask you to cut it off in this fasting, 532 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:25,640 I ask you to remove it from me as I repent and my repentance. 533 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,560 One of the things, there's two keys to revival. 534 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,560 People always want revival. 535 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,720 Pastors come to me and say, revival. 536 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,560 I want revival in my church. 537 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,560 Okay? 538 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,220 If you want revival in your church, align your church with the Word of God, teach your people 539 00:36:40,220 --> 00:36:43,600 to repent, and immerse them into the revival. 540 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,760 That's the steps. 541 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:53,000 So, but the key is, most people in the West particularly take repentance as shame and 542 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000 guilt. 543 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,280 Paul said there is no condemnation. 544 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,360 Everybody sins. 545 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,300 Everybody sins except Jesus. 546 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:02,760 So what happens is we have to have a lifestyle of repentance. 547 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:12,040 So fasting, water immersion, those are two things that highlight where a person, me, 548 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:17,680 what I do is I say, Lord, I'm fasting, I confess, I can't battle this evil on my own. 549 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,680 I need your help. 550 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,600 I'm fasting, trusting you. 551 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:21,840 The other one, water immersion. 552 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,800 I'm going to be obedient to go into the water. 553 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,160 I don't care what anybody else sees. 554 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,520 It's a public immersion, but I need your help. 555 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,240 I'm a sinner, and I need to bury this stuff. 556 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,600 You nailed it to the cross. 557 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,840 I need you to disarm the principalities and powers in this public spectacle in this water 558 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,120 so I can triumph over them. 559 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,120 That's why I do it. 560 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,880 That's, I'm giving you the formula in which I live by. 561 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,080 Do I sin again? 562 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,080 Yes. 563 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,780 But I can tell you one thing about me. 564 00:37:50,780 --> 00:37:59,160 I am a holy man in the sense that I try to stay away from the things that trigger my 565 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,320 sin. 566 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,800 I just stay away from it. 567 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:08,160 And so one of the things in the Goals to Grow By, you know, one of the questions is, let 568 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:15,120 me read it to you because it's so important. 569 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:23,760 What says, what do I need to shift my mind away from so that I'm seeking His kingdom 570 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,760 first? 571 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,880 So I have a personal list. 572 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,200 It's not written down here. 573 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:36,320 I stay away from certain things that I know that trigger me into a sin. 574 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,880 So I'm going to use an example like anger. 575 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,120 I'll be personal about this one. 576 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,760 I have tried, listen, I was raised in a house with sports. 577 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:55,560 I mean my house, TV tray, sports, why were those sports? 578 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Football, baseball, we're in Los Angeles, went to the Rams, Angels, Dodgers, all that. 579 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,200 Okay. 580 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,480 We are, my family are sports fanatics. 581 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,760 That's how I was raised. 582 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:15,200 But what happened is I got upset with it when in the NFL, when they started changing this, 583 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,680 just me, I don't care what people think. 584 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,360 Listen, sports is an escape. 585 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,360 It's entertainment. 586 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,360 Okay. 587 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,560 That's what it's for. 588 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,680 And you need that in your life. 589 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,320 But when they started doing the kneeling thing, you got to realize I'm a patriot. 590 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,620 You know, I'm as Yankee doodle as they get. 591 00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:36,880 When they started doing the kneeling thing, I said, that's it for me. 592 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,640 I'm not, I'm not. 593 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,880 So why should I care if they kneel? 594 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:47,680 But I had to quit watching the football because the kneeling was bringing a spirit of anger 595 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,160 to which I got delivered from. 596 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,800 And I didn't want to have to go back into it. 597 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,440 So I just quit watching it. 598 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,400 And I hated it because I used to like Sunday. 599 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,920 All right, we'll, you know, fix some hot dogs. 600 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,920 That was my thing. 601 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,000 Hot dogs and beans, some Fritos. 602 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160 And man, we're going to watch the game. 603 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,160 Okay. 604 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,080 And we'd have friends come over. 605 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,080 I quit doing it. 606 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,440 I just said, listen, I can't do it because of that. 607 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,720 So now we got past the kneeling. 608 00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,440 I start watching the NFL again. 609 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,020 This is recent this year. 610 00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:16,120 And I just started watching again. 611 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,080 And for me personally, because I'm a person of justice. 612 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,080 Okay. 613 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,200 Justice is a big thing. 614 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,660 All this stuff with these referees, with these bad calls affecting the games. 615 00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:26,660 That's it. 616 00:40:26,660 --> 00:40:27,660 I'm not watching anymore. 617 00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:28,660 What? 618 00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:29,840 It makes me mad. 619 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,840 It makes me mad. 620 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,840 Okay. 621 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,840 These calls. 622 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,720 I mean, when Christie and I met, we worked at Harris casino. 623 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,040 I know how this stuff works. 624 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,040 Okay. 625 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,040 So, I mean, I come out of the casino. 626 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,320 I was in a casino for three years. 627 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,480 I understand gambling and the stuff. 628 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,760 I mean, at a deep level. 629 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:51,200 So I'm just saying that I had to quit watching it because once I saw the call, a couple of 630 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,560 these calls, and I'm thinking, just let them play, you know? 631 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:02,040 And when games were being determined, key games because of bad calls, it made me mad 632 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,040 again. 633 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,040 So I'm just giving you an example. 634 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,200 I'm not watching because of that. 635 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,840 So I don't watch enough football anymore. 636 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,200 I'm done with it. 637 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,400 But that's because of me. 638 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,720 Some people wouldn't get mad over it, but it really frustrates me. 639 00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,960 So listen, I'm want, what's my purpose of watching football? 640 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,100 Entertainment, relaxation. 641 00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,240 When those things happen, it wasn't entertained. 642 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,520 So I'm just using that. 643 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,840 You can go through many, many different things. 644 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,080 I don't have patience with things with long lines. 645 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,080 Okay? 646 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,520 So what happens is when I travel, I have to have TSA, right? 647 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,720 I just like I do the TSA so I can go through the line pretty quick. 648 00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:40,920 It's a planned thing. 649 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,960 There's other stuff I do when I travel because I know that it frustrates me. 650 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,960 So what happens is, what am I telling you? 651 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,760 I'm telling you make adjustments in your life to keep you away from the areas that trigger 652 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,480 you to sin. 653 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,240 Does that make sense or am I like just a cranky old man? 654 00:41:58,240 --> 00:41:59,240 No, no. 655 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:07,480 Now, like the refs thing, I get it because I get the origin of this leads to that. 656 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:16,480 I heard a person put it one way that when you sin, that you can't ever really break 657 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,480 it. 658 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:24,200 I mean, good chances are that you'll probably do that sin again if it's like a lower, mid, 659 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:30,360 it's not like you did something you couldn't take back. 660 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:37,200 But he put it this way that you have to be able to find something to replace the sin. 661 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,200 Absolutely. 662 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,200 Right? 663 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,040 And so I guess my question is, so if it's not NFL football on Sunday for you because 664 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:53,280 it just gets you upset, what did you replace with that time because you did enjoy getting 665 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,360 hot dogs and doing that stuff with the family, what did you replace in order to get past 666 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,640 that? 667 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,880 Good movies. 668 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,520 So like Sunday are just good movie days? 669 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,520 Yeah. 670 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,040 Most of the time in the winter, not in the summer. 671 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,840 In the summer, obviously, in the summer we're in the pool, but no, it just, yeah, replaced 672 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:14,840 it with movies. 673 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:15,840 Yeah. 674 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,960 Is that a pretty good practice to think of it like a smoker would chew gum instead to 675 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,240 find something that's going to pivot, replace the- 676 00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:26,240 Absolutely. 677 00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:30,080 And the guy that doesn't like to stand in line gets the TSA or buys the different ways 678 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,160 to enter in. 679 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,760 There's ways you could upgrade the way you travel. 680 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,160 And so I just do that. 681 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,640 And it's because, listen, like when we flew to Israel this last time, I literally got 682 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:49,040 off the plane, had my first meeting with the CEO of the foreign ministry. 683 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,760 I was off the plane five minutes and I'm meeting. 684 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,100 That's my first meeting. 685 00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:57,040 So I can't be like going into the meeting all haggard and- 686 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,040 I get it. 687 00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,040 It was- 688 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,040 It's an important meeting. 689 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,520 I mean, I've had 15 minutes with one of the most important people in Israel. 690 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,640 He's third in command of all of Israel and I'm meeting with him and it's like, I need 691 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,540 to be at the top of my game. 692 00:44:11,540 --> 00:44:15,280 And he's the one we partnered with, with the Kenya outreach and all that. 693 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,480 And listen, he's a super nice guy and he loves Christie and I, and I love him and I don't 694 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,360 want him getting the leftovers. 695 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,520 So what I did is I made arrangements so that when I got off the plane that I didn't have 696 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,360 to go through the customs and the line and the stuff. 697 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,720 We just went in, I went into a VIP lounge, let somebody else take my passport, get my 698 00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,720 bags so that I could meet with this guy. 699 00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:45,360 So what happened in that is literally the relationship between Kenya, this minister, 700 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,080 us, Curt Landry Ministries, fulfilling what Netanyahu asked me to do. 701 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,680 All that got done and it wouldn't have got done if I would have just gone the other way. 702 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,300 You see what I'm saying? 703 00:44:56,300 --> 00:45:01,800 So it's like, you just have to, I don't know, there's always what, the way you said, I like 704 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,440 that a replacement. 705 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:09,280 So my replacement was, is I had a VIP pickup, met with him at actually the meeting actually 706 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,760 went half an hour. 707 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,640 But the point is that was the only time I could meet with him. 708 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:22,760 That was the, and what got done is the ambassador in Kenya that we work with actually represents 709 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:28,000 five countries in Africa battling antisemitism. 710 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,120 So I mean, how important is like this, this is like serious stuff, but I can tell you 711 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,480 if I wouldn't have learned how to maintain, because I know my weakness. 712 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,320 The other thing is I just came off what, an 18 hour flight, you know? 713 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,440 So I had to go into the bathroom and I had to shave. 714 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,600 I had to change shirts, you know, wet my hair, do the whole thing. 715 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,080 I have to be fresh for this guy. 716 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,800 It's like, I just, and that's what we did. 717 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:51,800 Chris did the same thing. 718 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,120 Listen, we're used to this. 719 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,600 We've done this. 720 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,360 When we hit, we hit the ground running. 721 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:02,720 But the point is, is that I can't do it with anger and be standing in a giant line. 722 00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:03,720 You see what I'm saying? 723 00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:08,120 It's like, I know that I'm just using it as an example that I'm not patient in those 724 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,120 lines. 725 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,320 So I'd stay away from them. 726 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:17,360 Oh, well, Rabbi, this episode's been good. 727 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,280 Hopefully people have been able to get some different perspective, you know, from the 728 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,840 topic of how to manifest blessings, but also deal with sin. 729 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:33,320 I wasn't really intentionally pushing the conversation that way, but I really feel like 730 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,680 there's going to be a lot of value that people listen to that because it's so practical. 731 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,520 It's so relational. 732 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,880 And everyone deals with it. 733 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:47,040 I think it's just part of understanding, you know, the different types of blessings and 734 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,600 what everybody goes through in order to be in that favor. 735 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,920 So we did a podcast the other day and I talked about like golden seeds, like there's a hundred 736 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,080 golden seeds. 737 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,080 So and I use the anger. 738 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,240 It doesn't make any difference, whatever it is. 739 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:01,880 Listen, everybody sins. 740 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,680 What I do in my mind is I kind of like visualize the hundred seeds, knowing that if I'm going 741 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:14,640 to lust, anger or whatever, taking offense, not repent, go into unforgiveness, that basically 742 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,440 if I just kind of visualize this way, Satan's hand comes and goes, all right, I'm taking 743 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,840 25 seeds from Kurt. 744 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,120 Oh, there he goes again. 745 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,120 There's 50. 746 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,760 Listen, I need a hundred and more seeds to do. 747 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,320 So what happens is I make a choice and I literally say in my own head, you know what, I can't 748 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,600 afford this. 749 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,880 And you know, like one of the things like we always joke about, it's not so much a 750 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,880 big deal anymore. 751 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,680 We've gotten over it, but I used to get really angry at the airport. 752 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,760 Like when they would, when they start messing around with it, you know, they canceled the 753 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,760 flight. 754 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:46,760 They do this. 755 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,000 They do what, whatever, you know, like, like they close the door, the plane's still there. 756 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,800 You know, you're flying business class and they won't let you get on the plane and you're 757 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,800 going, wait a minute. 758 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:58,800 Yeah. 759 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,540 Well, no, we've shut the door and, and, and, and they're still there. 760 00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:02,540 They can open the door. 761 00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:05,120 You go in, turn left and oh no, all that crazy. 762 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,920 No, you're going to have to wait till you know, whatever. 763 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,800 And so I'll give you an example. 764 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:18,440 My spirit, which I call the spirit of murder, because literally, listen, I was raised in 765 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,640 Los Angeles in the fifties and the sixties. 766 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,480 And I came from a angry, violent community. 767 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,720 Okay. 768 00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:33,380 And so I had to be delivered from all that. 769 00:48:33,380 --> 00:48:40,640 But I really don't like people disrespecting, dishonoring, like over, like the power because 770 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,880 the person's at the counter and it's like, I am going to exercise my power over you. 771 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,040 And I have no compassion to try of what's going to happen on the other side that when 772 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,760 you miss this flight. 773 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,760 Okay. 774 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,040 So the way I dealt with this was I don't travel alone. 775 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,320 Always travel with Christie. 776 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,960 Christie is the most merciful, long suffering, peaceful. 777 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,160 Very nice. 778 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,680 I go and sit down over there. 779 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,040 Lord, I repent because I want to kill them. 780 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,040 I repent. 781 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,960 I close my eyes, Lord, I'm praying for her. 782 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,960 She can do it. 783 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,280 Lord, please forgive me. 784 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,360 Don't let my sin of wanting to kill the entire Delta airlines, you know, right now. 785 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,760 I mean, I'm just like, Lord, I know me. 786 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,760 I know how I am. 787 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,120 I know where I come from. 788 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,120 So I repent. 789 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,700 But what I do is I let her intercede. 790 00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:33,880 She goes up and almost every time they get with her, it's like, oh, yes, Mrs. Landry. 791 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,880 Oh, come on. 792 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,360 And then she's over here like going, come on, baby. 793 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:37,880 And I'm like, all right, here we go. 794 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,080 But if it was me, it was like, it's not going to happen. 795 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,320 And so not so much anymore. 796 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,880 Actually, she'll tell you, she says, I actually do good right now. 797 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,880 I'm kind of past it. 798 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,880 I guess I got old enough. 799 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,560 I'm doesn't bother me as much. 800 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:56,160 But my point is you have to make plans to say, I can't afford to get angry, particularly 801 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,080 now for me at an airport. 802 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:03,760 When I'm in an airport, I'm a public enough figure that people see me and I can't be acting 803 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:04,760 stupid. 804 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,040 So Christi goes up, that's our plan. 805 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400 She takes care of it. 806 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:15,200 And so that I don't commit the sin of anger, so to say, and all the hundred seeds of blessing, 807 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,840 Satan doesn't come and say, oh, Kurt blew it again at the counter. 808 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,320 Here's 50 seeds gone for you. 809 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,800 Christi go up and then the Lord says, oh, she's so good at it. 810 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,000 Let's add 150 seeds. 811 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,440 But that's pretty much my advice with find out what Christi and I do. 812 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,640 I know my strengths. 813 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:31,760 She knows her strengths. 814 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,760 My weaknesses. 815 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,880 We're very real. 816 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,460 And like she says, we make one good Christian together. 817 00:50:38,460 --> 00:50:45,040 My weaknesses, I do what she and literally we're at a space right now. 818 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,520 We can't travel separate. 819 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:48,520 We have to be together. 820 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,800 Well, first of all, we want to be together. 821 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,120 We're a team. 822 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:57,540 But the thing is, is that we know she knows that I take care of like there's details I 823 00:50:57,540 --> 00:51:02,160 handle that don't bother me like with parking the car, getting the thing over at fine parking. 824 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,720 I mean, we travel enough. 825 00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:05,280 Everybody knows us in the airport. 826 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,000 So everything we do, everything we get, everything. 827 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,400 And they're so happy and they're very kind to us. 828 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,440 I'm not talking about Tulsa Airport. 829 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:17,520 But when you're okay, when you're outside of that, like let's say you're, you know, 830 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,840 in I won't mention names. 831 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,600 But anyway, there's other countries that aren't so great when you come up. 832 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,960 But that's why I just as soon as as soon as I start seeing it going sideways, I literally 833 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,540 just step back two or three steps, turn my face, don't make eye contact. 834 00:51:32,540 --> 00:51:37,240 And then she goes, well, sweetheart, this is what we need to do. 835 00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:38,240 And they do it. 836 00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:41,120 It's like she's like, it's like she's an angel. 837 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040 She goes up and then I sit back and I say, Lord, thank you. 838 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,040 Thank you. 839 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,040 Thank you, Lord. 840 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,520 I had the thought, but I didn't engage it with my mouth. 841 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,680 I don't know if that helps anybody. 842 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,080 No, I think that's great. 843 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:58,360 Yeah, I mean, like everybody needs to to to figure that out. 844 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,760 And it's great if you have someone, if you're married, that you can lean on someone like 845 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:04,760 that. 846 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,640 And if you're not, that's that's that's also very different. 847 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,600 But you can take a lot of the things that we've talked about in this episode to try 848 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:17,700 to help create those barriers and those pivot moments and have a game plan and have a strategy 849 00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:24,620 on how to handle this type of thing and how to manifest blessings. 850 00:52:24,620 --> 00:52:25,920 And don't lose them. 851 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,000 And don't lose them. 852 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,700 That's the key is you don't want to lose your blessing. 853 00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:35,800 And if you can mentally take anything from this podcast is imagine the Lord giving you 854 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,460 something and then you sin and it's taken away. 855 00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:43,040 So like when you choose, like you're going to go in to do something to think, you know 856 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:49,360 what, I I've worked so hard to get this blessing, I'm not going to let the enemy steal it. 857 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:55,360 If you can get that mental thing is like what I say in my head, I say I can't afford this. 858 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,320 And I listen, I take I have fun with myself. 859 00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,320 I say, you know what? 860 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,820 You're so good at getting angry. 861 00:53:01,820 --> 00:53:03,320 You're good at you perfected it. 862 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,600 Listen, you're like third generation angry. 863 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:06,600 My dad got angry. 864 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:07,600 Good. 865 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,520 My god, you know, and you know, my biological because I got reconnected. 866 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,320 It's like, listen, we are good at it. 867 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,880 We are good at being frustrated, angry and saying stupid stuff to people when we're angry. 868 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:19,880 We're good. 869 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,160 I would and actually feels good for about five seconds when you're actually doing it. 870 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:29,160 You're like, man, I get to let I get to let the steam out of the teapot. 871 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:34,120 You know, but all it does if you close with this, if you think of a teapot, what is it 872 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,620 does when it boils, it whistles. 873 00:53:36,620 --> 00:53:40,080 And as soon as that whistle goes off, the enemy hears the whistle like a dog and he 874 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,200 comes and steals your blessing. 875 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:43,920 So guess what? 876 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:51,840 Repent, go to your stove, turn off the heat and let the teapot settle. 877 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,600 Don't let it whistle because once it whistles, the enemies come in with all he's got to steal 878 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,600 your blessings. 879 00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,600 It's so good. 880 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,520 Well we hope this episode has helped you. 881 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,600 If it has and we would love for you to do it,
