1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,120
Hey girl, we’re your hosts, Iz

2
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,120
And Zi.

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,000
And welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,280
In today's episode we will talk about what God says about you.

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,520
This is so important so that we can distinguish what God says about us versus what the devil

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,280
says about us or what the world says about us and the importance of what we say about

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,280
ourselves.

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,000
In Philippians chapter 4 verse 8 it says, Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,760
is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable,

10
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,480
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

11
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Our thought life determines the way we live our life.

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
That's right.

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,320
If we are thinking about things that are good and pure, then our actions are going to represent

14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,320
that.

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:12,080
However, if we're thinking about things that aren't good or thinking negatively about ourselves,

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,200
then we're going to be very insecure people.

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
So shallow.

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:26,400
But with all that being said, how do I come back these negative thoughts or intrusive thoughts

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,760
that I don't even think about?

20
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,640
We all get those weird intrusive thoughts sometimes because we all get about 6,000 thoughts

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,600
in our heads every single day.

22
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,520
But we have to make sure that they're good thoughts and when we do have the bad thoughts,

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,000
we take them captive.

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,680
We make sure we bring it to Christ so that they don't slip away because if we let them

25
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,000
slip away, then we're going to think, oh, that was a weird thought and then it's going

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
to come back.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,960
And before you know it, you're thinking about the same thing every single day.

28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,620
And you are what you think.

29
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:07,360
One way to combat the devil is saying, I repeat that in Jesus' name for I am the righteousness

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,520
of God.

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,840
And when we say it, we say it with authority because when we are saved and when we have

32
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,880
the Holy Spirit, when we pray according to God's will, we have authority in our prayers.

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,640
And all you just need to say is Jesus is the name above all names.

34
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,400
And Jesus is the shortest prayer ever.

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,280
The devil will try to influence us in many different ways and not just our thought life,

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,680
sometimes he'll try to influence us through our friends, even our family and most definitely

37
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,320
our foes.

38
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440
For he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,920
And remember, God made you fearfully and wonderfully made, that means you're perfect.

40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,800
Sometimes when we listen to the lies of the devil, we tend to believe it.

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,560
But God does not want us to believe it.

42
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,520
He wants us to believe in his word, for the word is active, alive and breathing.

43
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:11,000
In 1 John 1-8, it says, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

45
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,880
When we believe the truth that's in his scripture, it starts to outweigh the lies that the devil

46
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,240
tries to feed it to us.

47
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Because when we believe those lies, the things we start to say about ourselves isn't so

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,320
nice anymore.

49
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,840
And sometimes what Satan does is that he uses our past to make us think that, oh God doesn't

50
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,880
want us, but it's actually the opposite.

51
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:47,960
God wants us, even if we had such a broken or embarrassing or humiliating past.

52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,800
So many people nowadays struggle with overthinking, and that's because they're getting so caught

53
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200
up in the lies that Satan tells them, that the world tells them, and the stuff that they

54
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080
believe about themselves.

55
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,280
And they have so many of those bad thoughts that it's hard for them to come to Christ.

56
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,480
But we don't want to be caught up in that cycle, because when we are caught up in that

57
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,240
cycle, we can't hear the voice of God.

58
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,440
Just like a computer or a phone goes on overload, we can go on overload too.

59
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,000
But God says that when we come to Him, we can put all our burdens at His feet.

60
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,480
We can put all those heavy thoughts, everything that we're thinking about that weighs us down.

61
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,400
We can give them to Him, because He's all powerful and He takes care of us.

62
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440
And He also forgives us, and He loves us deeply.

63
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,240
And when we think that God holds our sin against us, remember this.

64
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,640
Micah 7 verse 19 says, He cast all our sins in the depths of the sea.

65
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Time for our special segment with Iz and Zi.

66
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,880
And today's special segment, our question is, who wiped Jesus' feet with her hair?

67
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,880
1.

68
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Mary Magdalene 2.

69
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,440
Mary of Bethany or 3.

70
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Mary the mother of Jesus?

71
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,840
What do you think, Zi?

72
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,080
I say it is Mary of Bethany.

73
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,480
Is that your final answer?

74
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,480
Yep.

75
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,880
I even have the source to prove it.

76
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,560
John 12 verse 3.

77
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,960
Hmm, okay.

78
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Well, you are right.

79
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Yes!

80
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Thank you Jesus.

81
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400
That was a pretty good segment, right Zi?

82
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,880
Of course.

83
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,680
But now we have to go on something a little bit deeper, because this podcast episode is

84
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,800
great and all, but you won't be able to actually experience the Holy Spirit, and this message

85
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,680
won't actually help you until you have salvation.

86
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,880
So if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message will help

87
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,880
you.

88
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,120
But if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I invite you to give

89
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,600
your heart to the Lord today, to receive Him into your heart.

90
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Go to Romans 10, 9 through 10.

91
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,520
It says that, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart,

92
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960
that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

93
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,320
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto

94
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,720
salvation.

95
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,560
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are saved, and now have eternal life with

96
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Jesus.

97
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,840
You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit.

98
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:27,960
Now, this truth is not a free pass to sin anytime.

99
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices, and empowers you to spread the gospel

100
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,480
to others.

101
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,920
You are saved forever, and your name is written in the book of life.

102
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Did you just give your heart to the Lord?

103
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
If you did, give yourself a pat on the back.

104
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,280
We are so incredibly proud of you.

105
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,680
Anyways, thank you so much for listening to this podcast episode.

106
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,440
We hope it helped you, and we hope that you learned something.

107
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,280
And remember, Jesus loves you the most.

108
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,760
