WEBVTT 00:00:16.550 --> 00:00:18.829 Hey Forever GodGirl, I'm your host, Iz, and 00:00:18.829 --> 00:00:20.789 welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl 00:00:20.789 --> 00:00:23.969 podcast. Let's be so for real. Sometimes life 00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:26.429 is giving overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and 00:00:26.429 --> 00:00:29.230 I need a holy hug right now. But here's the plot 00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:33.490 twist. Jesus actually gets it. Fully. This episode 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:35.390 is your reminder that the king of the universe 00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:38.429 isn't distant. He's the most emotionally intelligent 00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:41.789 king ever and knows and feels exactly what we 00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:44.869 feel. Jesus sees you gets you and knows how you 00:00:44.869 --> 00:00:47.549 feel. Let's talk about it. Jesus came to earth 00:00:47.549 --> 00:00:51.409 because this world was so He came to earth as 00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:54.469 a baby. So he experienced actual life just like 00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:57.450 we do He experienced all the temptations all 00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.210 the frustrations and all the emotions as a normal 00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:02.810 human being Except he never let his emotions 00:01:02.810 --> 00:01:05.810 control himself and he was perfect He never sinned 00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:07.790 but the bottom line is that he came to earth 00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:10.849 and experienced everything we ever have slash 00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:13.829 ever will he Numbers 415 says he understands 00:01:13.829 --> 00:01:16.980 all of our weaknesses for he faced... all the 00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:20.099 same testings we do, yet he did not sin. You 00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:23.239 mean Jesus really experienced everything I'm 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.519 experiencing? Yeah, like in the garden of Gethsemane 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.439 because the crucifixion was about to happen. 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.900 He also experienced loneliness when all his friends 00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:32.040 dipped on him in the garden of Gethsemane. Then 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.719 there was rejection when his own hometown said, 00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:37.200 no, we don't like this guy. He also experienced 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.760 sadness. John 11 35 says Jesus wept. He literally 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.799 wept. Believe it or not, he also experienced 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.879 temptation but never yielded to it when he in 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.700 the wilderness but what about our emotions though 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.519 hmm I mean Jesus knows what I feel and he feels 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.739 what I feel But sometimes, I just want to be 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.859 in my feels. You know what I mean? Well, we've 00:01:56.859 --> 00:01:59.400 talked about this in a past episode before, but 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.739 emotions aren't necessarily a bad thing. We just 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.040 have to bring them to Jesus, guide them with 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.239 the Holy Spirit, and don't be afraid to bring 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.620 your emotions to Jesus. Because bottom line is, 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.780 he's not judging your feelings. He's literally 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.979 been there. He doesn't just know how you feel. 00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:16.120 He feels what you feel when you feel it. Which 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.560 brings me into something else. We can confide 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.819 in him because he is our father and our friend. 00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:23.789 Well, in Matthew 11, 11 -28, Jesus says, come 00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:26.289 to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy 00:02:26.289 --> 00:02:29.210 burdens, and I will give you rest. That heavy 00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:31.889 burden can include anything, but especially our 00:02:31.889 --> 00:02:34.189 emotions and our feelings too. When we understand 00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:36.349 that Jesus knows what we feel and he literally 00:02:36.349 --> 00:02:38.750 feels what we feel, it's gonna be a lot easier 00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:41.250 to come to him. But if I have all these bad emotions, 00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:43.069 shouldn't I work them out before I come into 00:02:43.069 --> 00:02:45.090 prayer? Well, that's a misconception, and that 00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:47.050 mindset is also like refusing to take a shower 00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:49.400 because I'm dirty. Doesn't make sense, does it? 00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:52.180 Nah. We don't have to mask with God. We can bring 00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:54.699 our messy, our dramatic, and our overthinking. 00:02:54.819 --> 00:02:56.639 The Holy Spirit is the one who cleans us up, 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.900 puts us back together, and picks us up on our 00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:01.159 feet. We can't do that for ourselves. Not only 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.400 is he close to the brokenhearted like it says 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.340 in Psalm 34 verse 18, but he also processes us 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.340 while we are feeling these heavy things and simultaneously 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:12.740 in his presence. Jesus meets us in our feels, 00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:15.560 and he leads us into healing. So to every Forever 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.699 God girl out there, this is your sign to... to 00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:19.340 stop trauma dumping on the group chat before 00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:21.780 you talk to Jesus. Go to the throne and then 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.439 the phone. Can I get an amen? Amen, girl.

That was such a great special segment, 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.240 but now it's time to talk about something even 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.420 more important and even more exciting, salvation. 00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:53.579 Here's a word from Xi. So, if you have a personal 00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:56.860 relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message 00:04:56.860 --> 00:05:00.000 will help you. But, if you don't have a personal 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.300 relationship with Jesus Christ, I invite you 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:06.000 to give your heart to the Lord today. To receive 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.899 him into your heart, go to Romans 10 9 -10. It 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:12.680 says, If you confess with your mouth the Lord 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.259 Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has 00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:18.579 raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:21.480 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, 00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:25.360 and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:29.610 If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are 00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.990 saved and now have eternal life with Jesus. You 00:05:32.990 --> 00:05:36.689 are saved from all your sins, past, present, 00:05:37.149 --> 00:05:40.009 and future sins you may commit. This truth is 00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:44.449 not a free pass to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus 00:05:44.449 --> 00:05:48.790 gives you power over all wrong choices and empowers 00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:52.550 you to spread the gospel to others.
