Best Blood

We trace a flawed family line from Adam to David to Judah and show how Jesus breaks generational strongholds through adoption, reconciliation, and a new spiritual DNA. Stories of peace, provision, and practical boundaries turn theology into daily freedom.

• why lineages in Matthew and Luke matter 
• consequences in David’s house and what passed down 
• Judah, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and surprising grace in the line 
• adoption in Christ as new legal status and identity 
• reconciliation and becoming new creation in practice 
• breaking cycles by guarding inputs and habits 
• peace and contentment as marks of a new family 
• invitation to trade old patterns for a better bloodline

“Believe in your heart, confess with your mouth. I’m a sinner and I want to be saved. I take Jesus as Lord of my life. I take on His bloodline and I am now adopted into the beloved.”

I am Purpose Williams. This is something like Sunday School, and with me tonight, somebody said that uh she was the new co-host now. Brother Myron is gonna be upset a little bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 2:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 2:19

Tell the people who you are, my sis.

SPEAKER_03: 2:21

Hey, good people. I'm Ari. I'm honored to be here tonight.

SPEAKER_02: 2:25

I'm so honored to have her and to have her, yes, on tonight. Um we we do a lot of uh conversing back and forth about the word of God. And it's always, you know, it's always real good. I never feel like uh it's it's always a learning moment, and we be, you know, joyful doing it or whatever. She might she might send me a voice note about some scripture she read. I sent her one about something I read. It might be the the cracker done. Right. And then we'll just hear it whenever we hear it. But it's it's always a joy studying uh the word of God anyway. And being a student of the word is just so beneficial to the Christian, really. I mean, to anybody, honestly, you getting that word is gonna is gonna change you. Speaking of change, speaking of change, um recently I've just been um very curious about um blood lines and uh strongholds on those bloodlines, even the benefits of bloodlines, and uh just how how essential uh blood is to the body, to life, and in the things that it can carry. And some things we feel like um it might be what sometimes we might feel like they're detrimental to us or or bad parts of us, but there of course there's always an answer and always a solution, and we can always find that in the word of God. Um I was looking at uh we what happened with me really, I was looking at Matthew one and then listening to Luke. I've been going through Luke for the past couple of months. I should have been done now, but I keep going back or being greedy about a certain passage and keep reading that one over and over. You ever experienced that sin?

SPEAKER_03: 4:20

Yes. Yeah, you just get stuck on it.

SPEAKER_02: 4:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, and I was looking at uh the genealogy of Jesus. And you know, when you young or whatever, or you reading a word, you tend to, when all those names come up, you tend to be like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and such and such, and you know, whatever. And it seems like uh it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter a lot. But one thing we do know, the Lord is not a waster of words. And all things as as minuscule as we might believe they are, are very important. So uh I got to look and got got nosy about who all was was in this lineage uh that that came to Jesus, that you know, ended up bringing Jesus on the scene. And it uh we trace it all the way back to uh Seth, who is the third son of Adam and Eve. And in that lineage, we see a lot of different people. We get to see uh, of course, we get to see Abraham, we get to see Jacob, we see Isaac, even Ishmael, we see all of them, uh we see who else Aaron David.

SPEAKER_03: 5:33

Yeah, David. I'm trying to go back and look at Jacob. Did you say Jacob?

SPEAKER_02: 5:37

I said Jacob, I think Jacob. Who else you got in there? I know Rahab, uh Tamar, Judah, um, Boaz, we know his name. Ruth, all of them, yeah, Jesse, David, all of them. And um, and if we be if we get real nosy about it, we'll see that a lot of that lineage is kind of screwed up. It's kind of messed up a little bit, according to, you know, what we what we feel is is good or bad or whatever. Um when I when I think about bloodlines, for the most part, uh, when I think about myself and uh the lineage I come from, uh I tend to focus on the things that are beneficial. I know that um being called a Dixon is is a thing of honor, and being called a Williams uh is a thing of honor. Um from on both sides of my family. We love music. Uh Jesus is definitely uh a very big part of my bloodline. Um we like hair, we like clothes, we like to look a certain way and be a certain way and uh do certain things. Uh what what do you what you like the most about your your bloodline?

SPEAKER_03: 6:56

Um our bloodline is very joyful, I will say. Um and we do love music, we do love to talk and entertain. We love to entertain jinx, all that, all that good stuff. Um, we do like clothes and like a lot of the cultural things like that, and then we're yet discovering a lot of things. And I think a lot of this generation we're discovering that we're actually creative.

SPEAKER_02: 7:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 7:20

Um even more so in the music scene. Yeah, just a lot of different things. So we're still learning and gathering, but we are, I will say a plus with our bloodline, we are very joyful. Yeah, yeah, very we'll get sad here and there, of course, with life, but we're gonna bring it back to the joy of the Lord, even if they don't realize that's what we're doing, but that's what we're doing.

SPEAKER_02: 7:40

Right. I always I'm gonna tell you the funniest thing I find about uh, and one of the most interesting things that I find about Ari, that she and the the babies uh I think she knows what I'm gonna say. That's why she's like Yeah, go ahead. What what I'm gonna say, sis?

SPEAKER_03: 7:58

Something about us being so honest. Very honest.

SPEAKER_02: 8:04

The honesty tickles me to uh to my bones. Yeah, it's so funny. And I think, of course, I think it's admirable. I think it's honorable, but it is so funny to me. And then just the way they say it, like uh Eric, she she has like this elegant speaking voice. It's just, you know, it's demure. I think that's what the young people say. And yeah, it's like she'll say something, and you uh, if you don't catch it, you you know the tone is what makes it so smooth, you know. She pretty much can tell you anything, and you know, you real honestly, if you if you a real person, then you she'll be able to get with it just for her tone alone. But that thing is so funny to me.

SPEAKER_03: 8:45

Yeah. And I'll tell you why we do that.

SPEAKER_02: 8:47

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03: 8:47

And I um and I know a lot of my family is honest, but I have made it a mission because you know, coming down through the generations, um, a lot of our previous generations, they were taught not to speak everything, and they covered a lot of things up.

SPEAKER_04: 9:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 9:03

So with my children, I just made a commitment that I was gonna tell them the truth.

SPEAKER_02: 9:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 9:09

And Holy Spirit just is graced me to be able to say it in the needed way at the needed time. So but thank God for that.

SPEAKER_02: 9:18

Yeah, it's so funny though. Yeah, it'd be hilarious to me. Uh just listening to them talking to each other. And at first I was like, Dog, you know, in my mind.

SPEAKER_03: 9:29

Y'all naturally have seen some things with and look, they not bad.

SPEAKER_02: 9:35

It just be funny. It's just like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 9:38

So it's different. It's different.

SPEAKER_02: 9:40

But it's friend, you know, like um, no, I will say this, and this is the beautiful part about it also. Usually you get people who are very honest like that, but they can't take the honesty being reciprocated. Yeah. They be like, you know, sensitive and on issue as Aries not like them. Like the kids, not it's just so funny because they just be trading honesty, and I just be I be so tickled, you know. Gotta know the truth will make you free.

SPEAKER_03: 10:06

It's what it's what the baby will say.

SPEAKER_02: 10:09

She over here operating in the spirit and got the babies doing it too.

SPEAKER_03: 10:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 10:13

And then and then what you said too is essential also because um you said that a lot of things were um swept away. Yeah. And people pride themselves so much on uh being the what is it, what they be calling it now? Um, breaking generational curses and stuff. Um and that's essentially what you you know you have done or whatever. And it's not boastful, it just was a thing. Yeah. I feel like God gave you that that desire. Yeah, he didn't know. And you you rode him on how to do it, but it is so funny. It be hilarious to me. It be so funny. But it's, you know, uh, I'm learning from her. I told her, uh, Ari is younger than me, but I feel like she's so much older than me uh in the spirit. I be learning a lot from her, you know, on the side, be gleaning or whatever. She don't be knowing because I be laughing so much, but I be I be taking it in.

SPEAKER_03: 11:08

We're learning from each other.

SPEAKER_02: 11:09

Yeah, yeah. I told um Ari I appreciate um her godly friendship. Like this point in my life, um, I've had some challenges, and um she has shown me. I mean, of course, um Jesus is in there, Holy Spirit is in there, but um, she has shown me just how to how to gracefully deal with things, how to deal with it as as Christ would want us to deal with it, you know. And uh, you know, I could tell her things, I can vent to her or whatever. But I know, you know, I'm gonna come out with uh a laugh for sure. But definitely godly counsel. Yeah. And we always gonna revert, you know, right back to the scriptures. So I'm appreciative for her. But um when I was looking at the bloodline of Jesus, it's very interesting. And when I think about Jesus, my first thought is perfection. And I don't mean that in a negative connotation, you know. I mean like in a beautiful way, like perfection, like the spotless lamb, like the only one who could redeem us and the one who could do it, you know, who can make it right. I mean the son of God. And looking at the the stock that he came from, it's very, very interesting. Interesting. It's very interesting. It's something. It's something, it's something like even when we go back to Adam and Eve, right? Like, uh them, and then honestly, this could be so many episodes in one. Yeah. When we when we when Adam, when he comes up in the in the lineage, he's called the son of God. He's the only one given that his that title at that time because that's who he literally was, the son of God, up until the fall when he traded his DNA for another DNA, when he gave over his authority and his power to a to a lesser. You know, it's it's it's crazy, you know. And we see that, we keep seeing that over and over in the word. We see where Esau gave up his birthright for some soup.

SPEAKER_04: 13:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 13:13

It's wild, you know. We keep seeing that over and over, but immediately we talked about on um Trees and Fruit, the episode called Trees and Fruit, how uh essentially death was passed through what they did. You know, giving up that birthright, giving up being the son of God. And it was clear to the relationship they had as father and son. Uh, it says that God would walk with them in the cool of the day, talk with him, walk with them, be with him. You know, he had full access, of course, because that's his father. And and and as a son, as a child of your parent, well, most of the time, you have free access to them, you know, in any time. But immediately we saw that that access severed. It changed immediately. Um and it's, you know, when I when I think about Adam and Eve, and we we the Lord told them straight up they was gonna die if they ate from the tree and the knowledge of good and evil. And um people like to dispute, oh, they didn't die because they were still alive. They died.

SPEAKER_04: 14:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 14:15

They died several deaths. Yeah. An infinite amount of deaths. And and guess what? They died so much that we be born, still born. We alive. We breathing, we walking and talking and walking around, but we still born.

SPEAKER_03: 14:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 14:28

That devil's passed all the way through. And we see it show up not not what, not a generation later, where that son kills, actually kills his own brother. Yeah. Because they put death into the bloodline. Brought it in. They brought it in about jealousy, they bought everything, everything that is wrong. They brought that in when they ate of that tree. Yeah. Because they traded DNA. They traded a perfect DNA to a flood one, to a fallen one, to a less one. That is incredibly insane.

SPEAKER_03: 14:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 14:59

And we still see the effects this day. Go ahead, my sister.

SPEAKER_03: 15:02

I don't see why people try to dispute that because you can say that they didn't die. They didn't die physically, they were still in the world, in the outside. Yeah. But you've been severed from your father.

SPEAKER_02: 15:12

You've been severed from.

SPEAKER_03: 15:13

Do you know the devastation of being separated from your parents?

SPEAKER_02: 15:17

Then look here. The devastation, absolutely, from being separated from your parents, right? Again, we see we see the beginning of it. We they died. They started dying physically. Yeah. They did start dying physically. You'll see that as we go. The the age, um, the ages got less and less and less.

SPEAKER_03: 15:36

Dwindling down.

SPEAKER_02: 15:37

Dwindling down. These these people was living hundreds of years. And at a hundred, you're calling yourself old.

SPEAKER_03: 15:43

Right. Back in that day, you a baby. And even today, like the younger people, when you get closer to 40 and 50, they saying you're old.

SPEAKER_02: 15:51

Thank you all.

SPEAKER_03: 15:52

So it's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 15:54

Yeah, it's it's insane.

SPEAKER_03: 15:56

Unnecessary devastation. Unnecessary devastation. Here we are.

SPEAKER_02: 16:00

Here we are. They experienced a spiritual death. Lost, lost the close access they had to their father. Yeah. Then they experienced, they had to get kicked out of their house. Yeah. They had to get kicked out of eating. You know how comfortable I am at home. Right.

unknown: 16:15

Trauma.

SPEAKER_02: 16:16

Right. And getting kicked out. Now you you was clothed in perfection. Now you got them fig, fig, fig leaves as clothes that they try to make for themselves. And God still.

SPEAKER_03: 16:30

That ain't cute.

SPEAKER_02: 16:31

It ain't cute. Itchy. Itchy. But then, and then here we have the first spill of blood. God has to kill animals.

SPEAKER_03: 16:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 16:41

To provide them with clothing, but he still did it.

SPEAKER_03: 16:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 16:44

He still did it. Um but the the trade-off had insane ramifications. And and we experience them still, you know, to this day. Uh I think about, I thought about Jeffrey Dahmer, right? And if you don't know who Jeffrey Dahmer is, you know, take some time and kind of peruse it. You ain't got to get deep down in it. Right. But um his brother did not want to be associated with the name so bad. Because Dahmer is a it's a unique last name. Right. So we definitely gonna trace you back to him eventually. Like I feel like Van Dross is a unique name. I don't feel like it's too many Vandross's. Right. But Jeffrey Dahmer's brother wants to be so disassociated, he wanted to be so disassociated with that name, he changed his last name.

SPEAKER_03: 17:31

Is that now?

SPEAKER_02: 17:32

Yeah, yeah. That was way back then. You know, when they got found out or whatever, he changed his name. Because he didn't want to be associated with that bloodline. Because automatically, okay, if your brother is doing these things, we feel like you're doing the same thing, right? Because it's got to be.

SPEAKER_03: 17:47

Right.

SPEAKER_02: 17:48

And the first thing we say, that there's a Williams. There's a whoever. So that man say, You ain't gonna say that's a dhamma for me. That man says my name would not, my I would not carry these. My children ain't gonna have that name. Yeah. But uh that man say, uh-uh, uh-uh. Uh, I think about also um the tribes of uh the 12 tribes of Israel and the things that they were associated with. If you go back to Genesis, you'll see where um Jacob is telling them, you know, who they'll be and what they'll be, and you know, all the names and all these things. So um, and even in coming out of that lineage, we see uh Judah. That's why Jesus is called the Lion of Judah, because he's coming out of that tribe particularly. Um but when we okay, let's let's just go back to David, right? Let's just stop at him because I feel like people know him the most, right? Okay. So David, right? I mean, essentially, he's a murderer, he's a rapist, uh, so much so that his bloodline, God told him that the sword would never leave his house. And then we see the turmoil. We look at his children. The son was was raping the sister. Yeah, the son was raping his um, the son was raping the daughter. These are brother and sister. Yeah. Uh they was killing each other. They was trying to kill him, trying to take the throne, all because of these things that had been passed down in the bloodline, right? And then we get to uh we still we and then we still do get to see some triumphs, right? But the greatest triumph coming out of this line is Jesus.

SPEAKER_03: 19:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 19:23

The greatest one coming out of that line is Jesus. But we see we get to experience Solomon. We see um Bathsheba, and and going back even before David, let's go to Rahab, the one who's called the who? The Horlit.

SPEAKER_03: 19:38

I almost said the other. Oh, you're right, you're right. Yeah, right. But whore is in the Bible, it's in the Bible, yeah. Prostitute whore.

SPEAKER_02: 19:49

Right, right. A woman of the night, somebody who had a certain occupation. Yeah, she did. She had an occupation, but guess what? She is in the line of Jesus, an immediate relative of uh David. And her son, Boaz, he's the one we all all say we want as a husband. But look at that, he's coming out of Rahab. So we we get the peaks of Jesus here and there, I believe that's what it is. But um, and then we have Ruth, and they are considered to be the kindred redeemer. Yeah. And then we have coming out of um, coming out of Ruth and Boaz is Obed, and Obed begets Jesse, and Jesse is David's dad.

SPEAKER_03: 20:32

You better say that, boy.

SPEAKER_02: 20:34

I'm serious. But then we even when we take a peek at Jesse, right? David is considered to be um Jesse's outside child. Because he's out in the back, right?

SPEAKER_03: 20:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:46

And he does not have the same description as the rest of them, tall and handsome. We get to we get to David, he's called Ruddy. Ruddy. And we see where they got him back there with the sheep doing the labor. And the rest of them, he didn't make them feel like they kings, and he didn't no doubt has trained them to walk a certain way. Yeah, you know, yeah, to be a certain way. And then Samuel looked at all of them, it's like, mm-mm.

SPEAKER_03: 21:10

But the daddy felt like David was the least of them.

SPEAKER_02: 21:12

He felt like he was the least of them. He felt like he was the least of them.

SPEAKER_03: 21:16

Samuel said, bring them here.

SPEAKER_02: 21:17

Bring him. You got another one.

SPEAKER_03: 21:19

Where yeah. Where is he?

SPEAKER_02: 21:22

Where yeah, where is he? But we when we see that, okay, we we see that David had an issue with with lust, right? And it came forth when he when he got that power.

SPEAKER_03: 21:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 21:34

But if David then is a and is an outside child, we know he got the spirit of no self-control from his father. Look at the things that are being passed down the bloodline. And then we get to Solomon. 700 wives, yeah, 300 concubines. You can't even see everybody in a year. If you take one day to see everybody, you're not gonna see it in. Right. But what, two years? Two and a half years? Three years?

SPEAKER_03: 22:03

And as a first year, I feel like you ain't got nothing left to give me.

SPEAKER_02: 22:07

Baby, you ain't got nothing. You ain't got nothing to give. Just to say that that's your your husband or that's your your whatever. You one of the side pieces. Man, that's insane. But look how he how it grew, you know, like it was out of control. Like this is a wildfire.

SPEAKER_03: 22:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 22:22

You know what I'm saying? And the Lord told him that that that that sword wasn't gonna leave his house.

SPEAKER_03: 22:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 22:28

Until he gets to who?

SPEAKER_03: 22:31

Until he gets to Jesus. Just sidetracking here. So with David, with him um battling the spirit of lust and all the things he had going on, do you think that could be the way his father treated him from being like overlooked and not seen? Oh yeah, yeah. Because that's if somebody keeps you pushed out in a way, that's a form of abandonment. It is abandonment. It's all it is.

SPEAKER_02: 22:56

And he definitely will cause you to look for love in other places. So maybe, maybe he, you know, got his first little cheek to look at, and then he was like, Oh. Oh, I'm on now. Yeah, I'm on. I play the harp too. I'm on. What did that man say? Ladies love, cool D. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 23:18

The ladies' love.

SPEAKER_02: 23:20

Lady Love. And then he went, he went on to have several wives also. Mm-hmm. I'm saying several. My mind.

SPEAKER_03: 23:29

Yeah, because Tamar and um who's the brother who was after her? Amnon.

SPEAKER_02: 23:34

Yeah, Amnon.

SPEAKER_03: 23:35

Yeah. What the way I read it is that they didn't have the same mother. No. So her and Absalom had the same mother, right?

SPEAKER_02: 23:42

I believe so.

SPEAKER_03: 23:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 23:44

I know Absalom rode for his sister.

SPEAKER_03: 23:46

Yeah, he did.

SPEAKER_02: 23:47

He did. He wrote for his sister. I can't even be, you know, can't be mad at him, you know. But uh, yeah. David's first wife was uh Micah. And that was um Saul's daughter, his best friend's sister, Jonathan, was his best friend. So she was the first wife, and then, you know, we get to the other wives and we get to Bathsheba, and you know, it's just a bunch. And uh, but Mary and I talk about this all the time. Uh David is is so known for his spirit of um not being able to be, well, not having self-control, just all the women. When he was on his deathbed, they sent the young maiden there. Right. And she was untouched. That man said, surely, surely the king is dead. You, you know, you you know, you know how out of control you gotta be for the people to say there no other reason for him to not to touch it, but he got to be dead.

SPEAKER_03: 24:47

The only way you don't touch this young virgin is because you're dead.

SPEAKER_02: 24:50

It's because you're dead. That is insane. That is insane. Man, that's a stronghold.

SPEAKER_03: 24:57

Yeah, that's a strong.

SPEAKER_02: 24:58

It's a stronghold.

SPEAKER_03: 25:00

It's a stronghold. And now everybody's been forced to accept it because it's nothing to them.

SPEAKER_02: 25:04

It's nothing to them.

SPEAKER_03: 25:05

They expect it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 25:07

It's expectation. And then now you got people, you know, you know, they had all these wives in the Bible. Surely, you know, polygamy isn't like that. I mean it's right. The Lord was clear by he said, Yeah, you ain't had I'm disappointed in here. Yeah, you ain't had to do that. And now you can't build a temple. That was not his way. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 25:26

But if y'all gonna honor, if you're gonna try to honor that, then let's let's go back to Genesis when God created Adam and Eve. Let's go back. He didn't create create Adam, Eve, and f and Stacy and Mary and all of them.

SPEAKER_02: 25:42

One and one. Yeah, one and one. One on one. Yeah. And he made them one person. Mm-hmm. Bon is blown, flesh of the fish. Flesh and my flesh. Yeah. So I mean, the the scripture is always clear. We just we we pick out what we want to pick out. Yeah. But um people, people like the heartbone, David being a man up to God's own heart, but God still chastised him.

SPEAKER_03: 26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 26:06

He didn't agree with what we had going on.

SPEAKER_03: 26:08

But um And I think God gives us grace with our culture. Absolutely. Not saying that we could do whatever we want to do, yeah, of course, or say whatever we want to say, but God knows that we're in this earth realm. Yeah. And we need a little bit of grace for stuff that we experience from day to day.

SPEAKER_02: 26:26

We do absolutely. That's why he's our high priest whoever living. You know, always making intercession for us. He said, I've been in that body. I understand.

SPEAKER_03: 26:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 26:37

And people, you know, people be sliding over that. Like the Lord was like, yo.

SPEAKER_03: 26:44

You can overcome that. You can overcome it.

SPEAKER_02: 26:46

He was like, I get it, because I've been there, but you can still overcome it, right? And look, that's clear. Look at the blood nine, look at the blood nine power right here. The scripture said we overcome. Not a word of our testimony and then what? The blood. The blood. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for Jesus. Changing that bloodline up. And uh I be thinking about that joint, man. That man see it. That's the only way we know this man is dead. Surely is what he said. Surely. But we see all that that turmoil get passed down through that lineage, and the sword won't leave all the way until we get to who, to Jesus. That's why he got pierced in the side. So he could eradicate all that.

SPEAKER_03: 27:31

Once and for all.

SPEAKER_02: 27:32

Once and for all. And um we Ari and I talk, you know, pretty candidly about a lot of things, and uh I tell her what I feel like uh could be uh a bloodline struggle or a bloodline stronghold or whatever. And I know people that are out there who just feel desperate and feel not only we're not even just talking about a familiarity with the dysfunction that comes with a certain bloodline. Um there are people who struggling who just feel like they just can't escape and they just roll with it because they just think that's just how it's supposed to be and that's just what it is. But there is hope. There is a a super hope, and we get to see how uh Jesus uh reverses everything that that these people had going on in their bloodline. And he's clear about it too. Uh over there in 2 Corinthians, the fifth chapter in the 17th verse, and this is when um when you become a child of God. Let's correct this here too. People like to say we're all children of God, we're not. We're not like, and it's we, you know, and then a lot of times it be said out of ignorance or you know, or even trying to win people to Christ, right? But we're not all children of God. John Eight is clear, he told them people in this in that center, that place that they were of their father who of your father. The devil. The devil. You you can't be a God's child and the child of the devil.

SPEAKER_04: 29:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 29:11

It's impossible. So we we bust that up right there. Like we're not all God's children. We're all God's creation. Creation. Just because of how he set everything in place. But he still don't leave us there. He don't leave us being a child of the devil. Yeah. He's saying now you can be reborn and you can be my child. And you could take on my DNA.

unknown: 29:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 29:32

Be adopted into the faith.

SPEAKER_02: 29:33

You could be adopted. That's another thing. Like, okay, let's look at the power of adoption, right? And it's so good. Jesus, when you get saved, essentially, you are adopted. You accepted into the beloved, is what the scripture says. So you're adopted, and you get to experience those same uh benefits, whatever the whatever the blood children have, yeah, you have it too. Legally. It belongs to you. If they're a millionaire, now you're a millionaire. Right. If they're a billionaire, now you're a billionaire. Um, we and then it's this is so delicious to me, right? These are delicious parts that I just be like, you know, that's real good right there. Let's look at Jesus, right? Let's go back to Jesus, him being a perfect example, right? Let's go back to him. He comes on the scene as an adopted son. He comes on as an adopted son. Right. Joseph is his adopted earthly father. Right. And you know what them people were saying when they seen him? They was trying to discredit Jesus as king. Ain't that Joseph's son?

SPEAKER_03: 30:38

Joseph's the carpenter. The carpenter book. Yeah. Look at the power of it.

SPEAKER_02: 30:43

We look at the power of adoption right there. They don't, they don't, they don't never say, oh, that's just married, but the first thing they didn't even say that's married.

SPEAKER_03: 30:52

They said Joseph. Because adoption um erases the gap. It erases the gap. Talk to him. It erases the gap. It just don't miss a step. It's done. When some say that the steps of the Lord, I mean the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, adoption is coming right on in. And that's how we get in. That's how we get in. Maybe not the first adoption that we know about, but he is definitely definitely the um most imperative one.

SPEAKER_02: 31:17

Yeah, he's the imperative one. Come on with the delicious vocabulary. Yeah, that's a whole thing. I gotta talk smart because no man, are you smart now? Nah, nah, nah. So I be gleaning from her, but yeah, that's the one that's most imperative. Yeah. And with him being like, he comes so he could be the blueprint for us, right? Yeah. And that's exactly what he that is what it is. We get accepted into the beloved, we get adopted in.

SPEAKER_03: 31:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 31:45

And we become blood-bought children.

SPEAKER_03: 31:48

And we experience all the benefits of it. We experience it. In Romans 8, you gave the scripture, Romans 8, um, 15 through 17, for ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption. Whereby we cry above. The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.

SPEAKER_02: 32:22

And have we suffered the cross? No. We have not. But coming into the beloved, it's accounted to our is imputed to our account. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 32:33

It's added to our account.

SPEAKER_02: 32:35

It's added to our account. Amen. And if children, then we're heirs. You can't be nobody's heir. Right. If you're not. Right. Ah, if you don't belong to them, you can't be their heir. You can't be a joint that with brothers and sisters that are not yours. That are not yours. He's clear who we are when we when we become his child.

SPEAKER_03: 32:55

Yeah. And he seals the gap. He seals it. He seals the gap. So you don't have to worry. So that's why when it's coming in with um, I'm sorry, you have not received the spirit of bondage again. So Jesus has paid it all and freed us. So just come on in and you know, let that go. And be freed. Whatever that bondage is, even if it is the bloodline. Because a lot of bloodlines, you know, we come with I don't even want to list them all, but you know, you got promiscuity, alcoholism, um, fighting. Yeah. A lot of stuff can come down through the bloodline, even disabilities and illnesses. Yeah. But trade it with Jesus. Let the blood wash you clean and be free of it. It don't mean you're not gonna have challenges and struggles, but it means that you overcome.

SPEAKER_02: 33:45

Look, look, I like that you brought up the disability part because we go over here, right? This this goes back to um David and Jonathan, Jonathan, who is his best friend, right? Jonathan is killed with his dad Saul, but Jonathan has a son. Um, I forgot his name right now. But the son gets dropped when he's a baby. Yeah. And so he has a disability for all his life. And so uh David goes back in to that area and he's looking for um relatives of Saul and of Jonathan because he wants to honor them, right? So um the son is found, Jonathan. The son is found in this place called Lola Bar. And he's there, he's desolate, he's disabled, right? And of course, the name is does not escape me, Lola Bar. He's, you know, he's living below the bar of what what he should be living as as bloodline of royalty.

SPEAKER_03: 34:39

Royalty.

SPEAKER_02: 34:40

You understand what I'm saying? So what David does when he finds out he that he sent for him, right? And he puts him, even with his disability, he puts him at the king's table.

SPEAKER_03: 34:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 34:51

In his rightful place. And the way that he puts him, nobody can see the disability.

SPEAKER_03: 34:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 34:57

So he he is covered.

SPEAKER_03: 34:59

And what that sound like the restoration of Jesus.

SPEAKER_02: 35:02

The restoration of Jesus, the resurrection of us.

SPEAKER_03: 35:06

A restoration by Jesus. By Jesus.

SPEAKER_02: 35:10

If Jesus overcomes, then so do we. He puts us in, and then this goes back to um, we were studying in church, oh what that was about two weeks ago, uh, when when God was giving instruction on how he wanted his house to be built. And the he wanted a certain wood, and then he wanted that wood to be dipped in gold. And it's we we know now as revelatory, um, as revelation comes, that that wood and the dipping of gold is representation of us, our flesh. Me are wrapped up in Jesus. Wrapped up in Jesus. Look at that bloodline tray.

SPEAKER_03: 35:51

So good.

SPEAKER_02: 35:53

And not only, and we get caught so many things when we become a child of God, right? We we get translated from dark to light, right? Yeah, we become heirs and joiners, right? We become Abraham's seed. And certain things are supposed to happen to us just because we are of Abraham's seed, right? Uh, we get called conquerors, more than conquerors. We get called a royal priesthood, you know what I'm saying? The chosen generation.

SPEAKER_03: 36:19

That's the script I was just going to. A holy nation. A holy nation. Yeah. Peculiar people. Peculiar. And then when you look at peculiar, we're not meant to be ordinary. We're not meant to be ordinary. So they can call us weird. They can call us whatever, whatever English term they want to call us. It's fine. At the end of the day, I'm meant to be peculiar. You got to be. I'm meant to be different. I'm meant to be chosen. Exactly. I'm meant to walk heads. Exactly. Yeah. I'm meant to rise above.

SPEAKER_02: 36:49

They definitely thought Jesus was peculiar. I feel like even Jesus' features, as they are describing in the Bible, even though we know him no more in the flesh, I feel like his his even his appearance was peculiar.

SPEAKER_03: 37:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 37:03

Eyes of fire, baby. I'm looking at that. Huh? He had to stand out. He had to stand out. He has to stand out. Yeah, yeah. He's got to stand out. He's got to stand out. Yeah. He's a different, he's a different kind of guy. So he comes, right? He comes and and he changes. The Bible says he talks about the prophecies that he fulfills, and even fulfilling them, he reverses them. Right? He reverses all this crazy stuff that we have going on on the fallen side, right? And I just think that we don't think about the miraculousness of that. We don't think about the heaviness of that, right? And um and when we look at all the benefits, right, of taking on the DNA of God, of Jesus, it's just you you really got to be I don't want to say crazy. I'm just gonna say un you know, not up to part in knowledge, right?

SPEAKER_03: 38:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 38:10

Of of the changes that can be made. And the scripture's clear about that. People perish for lack of knowledge.

SPEAKER_03: 38:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 38:17

And and not not wanting to be a part of such an amazing, miraculous family unit. My heart just goes out to you.

SPEAKER_03: 38:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 38:30

My heart go out to you.

SPEAKER_03: 38:31

A lot of times when you don't know, you just don't know. You just don't know. You just um, you know, like you and I have been talking about um praying for divine relationships. Like I know for my children, and um, I even been praying for them for my mother and just different people that I know.

SPEAKER_04: 38:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 38:49

So and then that's where like good churches come in, good podcasts come in, and then just you know you know the Bible is there. So I know if you don't know, you don't know, you have a s a touch of ignorance in that level. But the Bible is there, so I guess people gotta want to. We just gotta pray that their hearts be softened.

SPEAKER_02: 39:09

And it's gotta be presented, you know, to them right too. Like uh misunderstanding has a lot to do with it. Um even being condemned. Whenever we see Jesus, he he clearly said, I don't come to the condemn. I don't come to kill, steal and destroy. I come to get life. Give them life, and that life more abundant. The more abundant life. And I feel like the more money, it could be, of course, material things. We in this world, we we gotta have it. But the more abundant is the changing of all the things that we feel like just can't be changed, that we just can't be loose from, you know?

SPEAKER_03: 39:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 39:40

Uh knowing that we can, knowing that the power is available to us, you know? And it's just it's just amazing when you really just sit and and digest and eat on all the things that that have taken place in just that moment at the reception of salvation. Yeah. You know, being reborn. He told me, be reborn. Be reborn. Like, and and Pastor said all the time. Um people say, you know, I was born this way, which is true. I don't, I don't negate that. Right. Being born in the father's thing, any anything can attach itself to you or try to anyway, you know. But you can be reborn. It's still an answer.

SPEAKER_03: 40:22

And I'm laughing because when people say I'm just born this way, you can change everything that you're born into. They have surgeries now where you can, if your second toe is longer than your first toe, they can fix that bone. And that's just in a spiritual realm. I mean a physical realm. In the spiritual realm, just think about all the stuff that that plagues you or bothers you. And then even if even if it's a thorn in your flesh, like Paul had, then Jesus will like, he'll give you the grace to manage through that and to I don't want to say live with it, but some stuff we might just have to live with and just master.

SPEAKER_02: 40:58

You have to master it.

SPEAKER_03: 40:59

Yeah, and just put it under our control and conquer it that way. But like that's a form of the abundance.

SPEAKER_02: 41:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 41:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 41:06

That's a form of the abundance, absolutely. He do give us power to master. And then that that's just that's just something you gotta want to do. Like, yeah, and and you know, people be and you know, I used to think things, I'm like, well, if you had a thorn in his hand, you just went move, and then you shouldn't even like charge him for that, you know, like let that man do what he do with the thorn. But you know, that was a that was an immature mind. That wasn't a mind of of knowledge.

SPEAKER_03: 41:33

That's true.

SPEAKER_02: 41:34

And at the end of the day, if you want to keep your hair cut, you gotta keep getting it cut.

SPEAKER_03: 41:39

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02: 41:39

You gotta master it. You know what I'm saying? You want the house clean, you gotta keep it clean. You gotta keep cleaning. You gotta do wiping them walls. Yeah, and getting them baseboards. I need to do mine. Me too. Baseboards be a trip, but like how you're not even going anywhere. But if you wanna you want that yard to look good, you gotta do it. It ain't gonna just stay like that. Ain't gonna stay like that. Ain't gonna stay, but got to maintain the power.

SPEAKER_03: 42:03

Yeah, he gives us the power to maintain. Oh, he'll heal, he'll heal us from certain things, yeah. But it's our diligence, our due diligence, our job to maintain healing, to maintain it. So we have the victory, but we gotta keep the victory.

SPEAKER_02: 42:16

And the scripture is clear about that too. It says be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Yeah, it's clear over and over. When he told that woman that he didn't come to, you know, he didn't condemn her, he didn't throw stones, he told her to go and do what? Sin no more. Master that thing. Don't do it again, don't do it again. I might not be here to save you from the consequences. Put it down, right? Put it back. Put it back. Yeah, but he told her, master that. That's what he was saying. Yeah, don't do it again, go and sin no more. Cause I I'm uh the consequence still might come. I'm still here with you. Right. This time I was able to to block it, and that's not to say that God don't have the power to, but we still live in this this realm and where consequences are are there. You know, but uh, but I used to think that, but uh, you know, it's crazy thinking about the things you used to think. Right, right.

SPEAKER_03: 43:15

Jesus.

SPEAKER_02: 43:16

Thank God for faith to faith and glory to glory.

SPEAKER_03: 43:19

But uh thank God for the right way. Yeah, thank God for the right way. Taught me a lot.

SPEAKER_02: 43:24

Learning the right way. But um, yeah, it's just so good to to know that those are things that we can overcome. Yeah. Uh I I used to um, and let me be honest, I still have to master overthinking things. Oh, yeah. I definitely feel like that came came through the bloodline.

SPEAKER_03: 43:48

That's me and you. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh my gosh. I just picking stuff apart and overanalyzing, and then you don't even realize you overanalyzing. You don't realize it. Like, oh my gosh, just chill. And you almost have to chill.

SPEAKER_02: 44:01

You can almost feel like a safety net, you know? Because you be trying to think about the scenarios and you make yourself feel like you prepared for everyone. But baby, that's a that's an unstable mind.

SPEAKER_03: 44:11

It is. That's an unstable mind. It's a form of worry and anxiety sometimes too. Cause you're worried about what was said or what was done. And then in for if you're worried about the future, that's anxiety, basically. So you have to get that over to Jesus. Be anxious for nothing.

SPEAKER_02: 44:25

He anxious for nothing is what he said. Look how the scripture knows everything.

SPEAKER_03: 44:30

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_02: 44:31

It's ahead of time. He's ahead of time, it's out of time, he's in time. He's still talking us the same, but everything that we could possibly think of, the scripture has a solution.

SPEAKER_03: 44:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 44:43

Why? Because the scripture is Jesus. It's God.

SPEAKER_03: 44:46

He's God. And God is everything. He's everything. The Bible says it was nothing that was created that was not created by God. And then of course, you know, when you go into good versus evil and all the sin and stuff, that's a whole nother podcast.

SPEAKER_02: 45:02

Yeah, it is. That's why it's for our intellectuals.

SPEAKER_03: 45:05

But God created it. He just didn't want us to get a hold to it.

SPEAKER_02: 45:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 45:09

But since his first child touched it anyway. Touched it anyway, so that's why it's here. Yeah, that's why it's here. It's not that God put e he wanted us to have evil in the earth or he wanted us to have worries and anxieties and panic attacks and things. Adam touched it. So we didn't. He touched it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 45:25

So he touched it. It was contagious.

SPEAKER_03: 45:27

Yeah. He touched it. Contagious through the blood. Yeah. Yeah. He took on the wrong DNA. Yeah, you did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 45:34

And we look at it, okay, even from a medical standpoint, like people who have sickle cell, right? Yeah. That that um what is it called? The sickle cell trait is is passed through the bloodline. Yeah. It's passed through the bloodline. So like they say it's only passed through African Americans.

SPEAKER_03: 45:52

Yeah, only African Americans.

SPEAKER_02: 45:54

Only.

SPEAKER_03: 45:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 45:56

So all of that is, you know, just thinking about the fallen nature and how it attached itself to certain things, certain demographics, certain people, even certain locations, right? Yeah. But um, and that's why people who who know they carry the sickle to their trait, if they want to be with somebody, they have to test them to see if they have the trait too. So they won't be a full-mown case with their children. Right. So we we get to see all of the we get to see the downfalls of taking on the wrong DNA. Way back with with Adam and Eve. That's insane.

SPEAKER_03: 46:30

And the beauty of it is that even though Adam touched it and it all of this transpired in the earth realm, is that God saw ahead of time. Because he said he predestined us. So he already knew like what was coming. He even know what's coming next year. People worried about Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_04: 46:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 46:48

I suggest you just rest in the Lord. Just rest. Just rest in the Lord because God already knows what's coming. He's already, we think, we thinking somebody can be one step ahead of us, but God is a million steps. He's way past that. Time ain't got nothing for him. It ain't nothing. So you just rest in the Lord. He already knew this stuff was coming. He's always making He's already making ways for us to have a means of escape.

SPEAKER_02: 47:11

So He's a way of escape. Absolutely. And you know, I was talking to uh who was that I was talking to.

SPEAKER_03: 47:26

Somebody from A. It was my dad.

SPEAKER_02: 47:28

We were talking about uh we were talking about Trump, you know, this whole post he he just made, you know, crazy. And uh and I remember, you know, being younger, being immature and just getting so mad and being so frustrated and just like, you know, like furious with with things that had to do with racism. And that was when my dad was telling me today, I was just like, mm-hmm, okay. You know, and it's not that racism is right by any means, and it's not that I'm happy with it in the least. Right. But like you said, like the peace of God is is it's definitely like the scriptures say is unspeakable. You can't you can't really put it into words. It's just there. It's like uh something you could just lay in, you could just swim in it, you could just rest in it, you just be like describing. Yeah, you don't know how to describe it. Like it's clearly unspeakable. It's is it don't make sense.

SPEAKER_03: 48:21

It don't mm-mm.

SPEAKER_02: 48:22

But I wouldn't trade it. Like my grandma used to tell us, and uh, she was so sweet, and she had a million grandchildren, she had a million kids and two billion grandchildren. And she would she would always tell us, she wouldn't, she say, baby, I wouldn't trade you for a million dollars. And I used to be looking around like, mm, some of these moths you could trade. Trade them, grandma. We'll have a lot of money.

SPEAKER_04: 48:52

Right.

SPEAKER_02: 48:53

But I would not trade the peace of God. It's just not no, it just don't, you know, it don't make sense, baby. The peace of God is so real, like um, you um, and I talk about this out of time, right? And and even as a believer, seeing it in action is just amazing, right?

SPEAKER_03: 49:11

It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 49:12

It's just amazing, it's incredible. And you just be like, Holly, that that's Mr. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 49:18

I wonder, like, just like as to have an inkling of the peace of God, like when you say, um, like maybe it's just all the feelings just bundled up into one. So, like, you're when you on a summer day and you're eating your favorite ice cream with your your daddy or your granddaddy or somebody who is your favorite person, yeah, that's one little one little pinch. One little piece of it. And then like um, when you get a new outfit, yeah, you feeling like you the flyest or whatever, that's a piece of it. So like all of these things combined, I don't even know. That ain't even giving it a good reference.

SPEAKER_02: 49:53

Because we can't like it's a good reference. We just can't, we can't you can't put it into words. No, you can't speak of the magnitude, right? That's what uh prophetess Kierra said. That's what you said.

SPEAKER_03: 50:02

Indescribable.

SPEAKER_02: 50:04

Indescribable. Unwhat? Uncontainable.

SPEAKER_03: 50:07

Uncontainable.

SPEAKER_02: 50:08

Hmm. Yeah. You can't like, okay, okay, let me see what I feel like um could be my example, all right. Let me see. Okay, at Christmas time, my grandma, and really any holiday, honestly. Yeah. My grandma was a cook of both of them, but my um, both of them for sure. But focusing on my my dad's mom, Ella Mae Williams. She for holidays, she made, she cooked everything from scratch, right? So we would go, we would go to my grandma and my granddaddy's house. Smell it. Yeah. And you just knew, like that time, and even just knowing, you know, it's Christmas time, it's Thanksgiving. I know my grandma in the kitchen right now, just cooking, you know what I'm saying? And enjoying it, right? So um Christmas, Christmas Day, I'll be getting dressed. Yeah, I know we're finna go to Middle house first. We call in the middle. Uh, and I'll be like, yeah, I'm ready. You know, like, yeah. Because she she did this turkey, boy, like nobody's business. And you know how like turkey, like, oh God. And it was so like her recipe was so simple. But that thing, y'all, I'm gonna tell y'all good that thing was. And please, you know, don't judge us. But you know, if you do, I don't care. Judge judge your mama. That turkey was so good. Like, and it was a lot, it's a lot of us, right? So, you know, at first we try to be civilized. You know, you go in with your silverwell and your knife, and you know, and you know, you try to get a little piece on the on the plate, you know, and everything else. Because she did good greens. My grandma did good everything. She even made like her own cracklings. And she had the double oven. Really? And then she had the big oven. So, you know, she cooking, cooking. Cooking, cooking. You know, we we go in there, we try to be, you know, demure and prestigious, and you know, we would um, you know, do the plate right the first time. And you know, like after everybody ate or whatever, like the kids, the grandkids, we be standing around that turkey, just like eating it, just like pulling the meat out the mouth without wanting.

SPEAKER_03: 52:10

Like little savages. Yeah. I love it.

SPEAKER_02: 52:12

That's how good that's how that's how good. And you talk about we be sitting there greasing hand and just smiling, you know. Everybody just And she loved it. Oh, she loved it. My grandma, both of my grandparents, like the Lord has really blessed me with amazing um family units on both sides. But she she would be so tickle with all of us, you know. That just really made her feel good. With that thing could cook a turkey, baby. It would be a turkey one never dry. That's what it was. And turkey can be mad dry, it can be dry than chicken breasts to me. A turkey will choke you. Yeah, literally. My grandma, it didn't matter if it was the white part, it didn't matter if it was the dark part, it was flavored all the way down and it was juicy. She had it. So just like that piece of noon, they was making the the turkey and the greens. We would eat greens without hands.

SPEAKER_04: 53:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 53:02

And we get that cornbread and mush it up in there. Okay, who got some greens ready? Who got some good greens ready? Oh tomato, you know. I'm gonna have to share this with my cousins. You know, we talk about it, you know, every now and then. But even after that, right, this is what they call the, what they say, the piece de resistance.

SPEAKER_04: 53:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 53:21

The uh, I don't know, like the cream of the crop, everything she did, but in the dining room, right? The dining room was a separate area. And the dining room had a door on one side and on the other side. So you you could close it on one side and come in on the other side. Well, or you could, you know, come in and out either way. The dining room, y'all, the biggest table you ever felt like you ever did see, right? Like, you know, like that long table they had on Captain Hook when they was sitting there eating that imagine food. It felt like when you was a kid, it felt like the longest table you could ever see, like just filled with cakes and pies, like uh every kind of cake. My grand used to make an eight-layer chocolate cake, right? Eight-layer chocolate cake.

SPEAKER_03: 54:04

Grandma was a master.

SPEAKER_02: 54:06

She was, and she did it by herself. And it felt like we never ran out as many of us as it was. It was always pecan pies. She used to make German chocolate cake, everything from scratch. Like, none of this is stubborn. But that dining room, we knew that foods, and she used to make this homemade peach cobbler. Oh my God. I judge everybody's peach cobbler of my grandma's peach cobbler. That ain't fair. I do.

SPEAKER_03: 54:36

That's not fair.

SPEAKER_02: 54:37

They got to get it like Murder. They got to do it like she did.

SPEAKER_03: 54:40

Who got the recipe, Muddia?

SPEAKER_02: 54:41

Where is it, Money? Who got it? Who got the remote? Who got the recipe? But that waiting, knowing that that when you open that door, that dining room had all that cakes and pies just waiting. And I'm talking about this was like, and I'm not exaggerating, it's like 10, 10, 12 cakes and pies on the dining room table.

SPEAKER_03: 55:02

All made with love.

SPEAKER_02: 55:03

All made with love. And we used to tell that stuff to peace.

SPEAKER_03: 55:07

That made me think of um, of course, it's God's grace, yeah, showing his love. But that made me think of um God preparing the table before me. Because it's just safety. Even though it's just food to somebody, to somebody else, it's love and protection and it's safety. And it's a it's a peas.

SPEAKER_02: 55:25

Yeah, they come with that. And and knowing that we had full access to it, yeah. It wasn't like my grandma's house wasn't like, you can't go in there, you can't sit on that front, baby. My grandma did not care. Like, she would tell us, it's so many, like my my family's huge on both sides. But my grandma, she be sitting on the porch, and one of my co-workers, uh, she used to jank me, right? She be like, she lived up the street from my grandma and my granddad, and and she be like, cuz, and then how you know we would love, we were over there all the time. Like, everybody was over there all the time. So we never was like, well, you know, how people be like, I ain't seen them in 10 years. Right. That just wasn't our case. Right. She be like, every time I pass by that, it looked like a family reunion. We ain't supposed to be at home. We supposed to be at mother's house enjoying.

SPEAKER_03: 56:15

Right. She was wanting to come over there. I tell her, come on.

SPEAKER_02: 56:18

That's why I told her, you know, you could have come, you could have stopped by with a gave you a plate. That's it. But um she we she my grandma would say uh she loved having a bunch of kids and a bunch of grandkids. Yeah. And she be like, there's when one leaving another one coming in the door. And she just would enjoy it. And it needs to make me feel so good. And you know, even more now that um I'm grown and I understand the sentiment of that.

SPEAKER_03: 56:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 56:44

Because now people don't be, you know, they don't be want to be around other people. They don't. No, and you want to be around their family, and you would think that she would get tired out of now, folks. But she loved it.

SPEAKER_03: 56:55

But you know what that sounds like? Um, even when you're saying, like, when y'all went to her house and the food never ran out, no matter how many of y'all it was. And then when somebody comes leaves, another one coming in, yeah, that uh reminds me of Amos 9.

SPEAKER_02: 57:09

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 57:10

Just one blessing on the heel of another one. On the heel of another one. Just happening so fast your heel. You make your head speaking. Yeah. Because it likes the goodness of God does not stop.

SPEAKER_02: 57:18

It don't stop.

SPEAKER_03: 57:19

And that's beautiful that your memory of your grandmother can be just a foreshadow, uh shadow type of the goodness of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02: 57:28

I was just thinking that to myself, like the Lord really has throughout my life, um, just giving me foretastes of him, just examples of him, just boom, boom, boom.

SPEAKER_03: 57:36

You need to start writing those memories down. I will. So we can start relating them.

SPEAKER_02: 57:40

Don't tempt me with a good time. I will do that. Yeah. I'm gonna have to. I really will, but but just that, just that peace, it was something I could always look forward to. We can always look forward to the peace of God. And that only comes by being his blood-bought child. Blood-bought child. It only comes by being his child, it only comes by by changing DNA.

SPEAKER_03: 58:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 58:03

And and we could just give it to him. You could just give it to him. And just give it to him. Like he don't, he don't care what the package looks like, he don't care what it is. My mom used to tell me, she used to say, she didn't. She said, uh, my mom used to tell us all the time, you think of the worst thing you could do is multiply that times a hundred, multiply it times infinity.

SPEAKER_03: 58:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 58:27

You still gonna be my child.

SPEAKER_03: 58:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 58:29

I'm still gonna love you.

SPEAKER_03: 58:30

I was just thinking of murder. Like, murder ain't on phase Jesus. No, it didn't phase.

SPEAKER_02: 58:35

Now he don't want you to do it, y'all. He don't want you to do it. But the commandment is clear.

SPEAKER_03: 58:39

Yeah, but come to me.

SPEAKER_02: 58:41

Come to me all is what I like to see. Come to me all. Not come to me some of y'all. Oh, yeah. Or come to y'all who haven't done this or haven't done that or haven't thought this and who haven't thought that, who haven't experienced it, who haven't been used, who haven't abused. He said, He said, Come to me all of y'all.

SPEAKER_03: 58:58

Yeah, and I can't. Everyone, like, like me and my son were talking the other night, and we were talking, or it came up about one sin versus the other sin, basically. But um, the Bible tells us that sin is sin. It's sin. Yeah, it don't matter if like a thief is the same as a murderer, it's the same as an adulteress, it's the same as a um a backbiter, a liar, a gossiper, a liar, uh, you know, all these things. Sin is just sin, and Jesus is just saying, I want to clear free y'all from all of that. Just come to me. Yeah, worry about that thorn.

SPEAKER_02: 59:31

Come to me.

SPEAKER_03: 59:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 59:33

Oh.

SPEAKER_03: 59:34

Train my burdens.

SPEAKER_02: 59:36

Trade them. Trade it. He said, He said, uh, okay, let's look, let's look at um 2 Corinthians 5 and 17. We call him a new creature.

SPEAKER_03: 59:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 59:47

A new creature. And the difference between creatures is what? DNA. It's blood. That's how you could tell. Okay, even though you look this way, you look that way, this is what you really are. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So your life can look this way, your life can look that way. You can do this, you can do that. Yeah. But when you become a child of God, that's just who you really are. And it's all you are.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:07

That's all you are.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:08

That's all you need to be. All the things that come with it. But the Bible tells you that you are a new creature. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, if you become his child, you receive salvation. He is a new creature. Old things are what? Passed away. Behold, what things?

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:26

Oh.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:27

Oh. All things are become new. And all things are of God. And let's look at this. I just saw this. Oh my God. That's so delicious, Lord. It said, all things are become new. If you're reading, that sounds like a grammatical error. But art is a verb. It is. It's a state of mean verb. A state of being. It's continuous. You are new. You are new. You are new. Not just for a moment. But until the day of what redemption. He said, I got you sealed until you coven until. And that's an R thing. It's an R thing. It's a even seal.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:15

I'm thinking about Stevie Wonder. The song Ass. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:21

Right. Right. All those things. All them things. Yeah. You are of God. Yeah. Who have reconciled who? Us to who? Himself. By who? Jesus. By Jesus Christ. The one with the perfect blood. Powerful blood.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:41

And then that reconciliate, that reconcile word. Um, that word in itself is so powerful. It is. Coming from Jesus because it's like he just wiping the he wiping the plate clean. He obliterated that job. Yeah. Like Jesus said, I took all that too much. I took it. Yeah, I got you. He said, I took it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:01

You you take on this one. You take on this one. He said he is giving to us the ministry of what? Reconciliation. Reconciliation. To it. That what? God was in what? In who? God was in Christ. Reconciling the world unto himself, not doing what? Not imputing their trespasses unto them. Not considering your bloodline. Not considering it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:02:26

I didn't even look at that verse. He getting rid of it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:30

Imputing their trespasses, not doing it, not imputing their trespasses against them. And have committed unto us the word of what? Reconciliation. A new bloodline. You're a part of a new family. The book stops here. The book stops right there. You're a part of a new family. That's the power. That's the power of the blood of Jesus. It's the power of becoming the Son of God. The Son of God. That's the power. That's the adoption. That's the adoption. Yeah, so y'all come on in. That being reconciled, that's the adoption, baby. Come on in. Come on in. The Bible said he would he wish that all none would perish. And then I will come into the knowledge of it. And it's so easy, yeah. It's so easy to receive like we we come up with a lot of excuses, or the enemy tries to tell us we not worthy.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:26

You're not worthy. You're never gonna be now without Jesus. But you don't have to be. You don't gotta be. You know you're not worthy of like perfection, is what I'm saying. But you don't gotta be in, you will be when you accept him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:40

Yeah. And I'm chuckling because when you like the the enemy want to tell you that you're not worried. And I'm thinking like rolling my neck, I don't have to be. Yeah, I don't gotta be. I ain't gotta be. N word. Because my father.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:52

Because my father, my daddy. That man said we call him who? Album. Father.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:58

We like to say Albab.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:00

Big daddy.

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:01

Or if you don't want to go where I don't have to be, you can be where my daddy said.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:05

My daddy said. My daddy said.

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:08

And that's what we need to throw on him. That's what we need to throw. My daddy said.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:13

My daddy said.

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:19

It's just so so beautiful, right? It's just a beautiful thing. Like, uh, and again, God has given me the most amazing examples of him, you know, throughout my life. Not to say that bad things haven't happened or horrible things haven't happened. Yeah. But again, the scripture is clear about that too. Think on the things that are lovely.

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:44

That's all I was gonna ask. So you think like um as a society, we just focus so much on the bad things. Like, oh, they indulge in it. Yeah. And we just purposely overlook the good things. Absolutely. We don't find the joy in things intentionally.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:59

They'll find it in it. Yeah. Everybody wants to be on this train, though. Oh, I suffered too. I've had traumatic experiences too. Baby, duh.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:08

Duh. Everyone has. Duh. That's not nothing new. That's not you're not unique to that situation. That's nothing new. Duh, baby. And why we want to be on a sad train, you know, of course it's of course it's of the devil, you know. Everybody wanna jump on the bandwagon of sadness or indulge in any any emotions. Yeah. I'm just processing how it feels. And I'm not telling you don't process. Right. I'm telling you don't get in a love affair with sadness. Yeah. Don't be seduced by trauma and bondage. And really, if you think about it, it's like Stockholm disease, right? Like people who get kidnapped by people and they've been with them so long, even though this is your enemy. Mm-hmm. This is someone who has taken your life from you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:57

But they get used to that person. And And start having feelings of sentiment toward them and longing and missing. Basically start loving and cursing. Yeah. So like being in the affair with sadness, being there and none of that, you're gonna drown. Yeah. And everybody don't make it out. Everybody don't make it out.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:17

Don't even play with it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:18

Don't play with it. Don't touch it. That's what the song says. Don't play with it, don't play with it. Right. Don't touch it.

unknown: 1:06:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:26

Again, that's that what that what the Lord told him. Don't even touch it. And look what happened. Oh yeah, that's good. Don't even touch it. So no eating it, don't even touch it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:36

Don't touch it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:37

And it sometimes it looks good. That the scripture says that girl says it looked like it was good to eat. But if he told you it ain't good, it ain't.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:47

I don't care how beautiful it is. That's what um what pastor say. You don't have to know. You don't have to try crack to know that you don't want to try it. If you don't want to try it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:58

You don't have to have A's and know you don't want it. Right. Baby. Folks be to my experience is the best teaching. You might die. Everybody don't make it out. Yeah, I'll make it out.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:08

Make it out.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:09

I was always the one to sit and look at somebody else's experience. And that I'd be like, no, that ain't for me. You can have it, baby. Enjoy. Enjoy your high. Enjoy being out of control.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:22

I stay shaking my head.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:24

It's like, no, you know, my sister say, never you mind. Never you mind. Never, baby. Be that as it may. You don't want it. No part of it. He told them not to touch it. And you know, this song is in the RE. She wrote a song about it also. And the song says, I know that it looks good, but can it be a part of my life? I know that it feels good, but can it be a part of my life? She said, it probably even tastes good, but can it be a part of my life? I gotta know. Man, ice cream tastes real good. Yeah. Should it be a part of my life? The way that it is.

unknown: 1:08:07

No.

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:08

I was pretty saying, hold on, I said, hold on. This is another example.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:12

Not to the degree. I said, Lord, I had vanilla and chocolate ice cream in there. I said, Lord, I overdid it. Well, I had two little cubs. No, you know, don't think I just went on and pinted out. I had to be the part of the cup kind, but I know I shouldn't have had that. But I mean, I say it might even taste good, but can it be a part of my? And these are serious questions. Like, honestly.

unknown: 1:08:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:39

Honestly, you gotta know.

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:40

We chuckling about it, but like you really need to evaluate what needs to be a part of your life and what you don't need to taste. You don't need to touch it. You don't need to look at it. You don't need to listen to it. You don't need to read it. I just go ahead, go ahead, go. Um, I'm I've been practicing on social media. Just if I know it's some foolishness, just go by or just go back off of social media.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:04

I was just about to say that, like, I I do know the things like um that I just shouldn't indulge in. Like, I just shouldn't. And uh, especially, and I will see even this, especially dealing with if you're trying to remove yourself or keep yourself from that bondage of a bloodline thing, that's you especially should just cold turkey.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:25

That's why I saw some stuff I can't even touch. That's right. And I will say, like, um like just socially drinking. Mm-hmm. When when you like at every event or everything, um like I just that's something that I can't touch because of my bloodline. I've seen alcoholism and I've seen it at its worst. So I'm just like, no, don't even don't even dwell in it. Right, don't even try it. Don't get in it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:53

I never wanted to try um weed. Mm-hmm. Cause I already felt like I would like it too much. Cause I like to chill. Yeah. You know. And if it makes me chiller, baby, I feel like that night would have had a strong.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:11

I never tried weed. I've definitely tried weed. You have? Yes. And I was not chilled. I was pairing on. Oh, yeah, yeah. See, now it might take everyone too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:20

It might take me that too. So, you know, I I always, you know, just left that alone. I always left it alone. Uh, I don't do sad movies. I hate sad movies.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:30

Y'all, she hates sad movies, y'all.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:32

I hate them.

Y'all, y'all, she hates the best man holiday. I hate it. She hates it, y'all. Hate it. Y'all pray for my sis. Because y'all know that looks like a black classic.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:48

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:50

They do, because I'm gonna be.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:59

It was an Eric Jerome Dicky book. It's called um, I think it's called Friends and Lovers, or is it Milk and My Coffee? It's one of the two. And uh this this girl, it's called Friends and Lovers. Milk and My Coffee was another one. And it's my cousin's favorite book, and he loves it. And they turned it into a movie. And he was like, You gonna watch it? I said, Did you just cuss me out? You know, good and T Well now watching that junk. It was a sad book.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:02

Period.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:02

I'm not watching that. I got so mad when I got to the end of that book and the sadness that ensued. Mm-hmm. I dropped that book. I threw it to the floor. Yeah. I threw it to the floor.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:14

How long have you done that? What? Um, like just avoid sad movies and things like that. Have you done it?

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:21

How long have I been doing that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:22

Has it been like since your 20s or recently?

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:26

That was in my 20s. Mm-hmm. I think I read that book. I might have been probably about 25, 26. Yeah. Somewhere in there.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:34

And I'm into my 40s now. Mm-hmm. But I do if it's it's sad. I watched a movie by mistake a couple of weeks ago.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:42

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:42

That sad behind movie.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:45

I don't even know the name of it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:46

It was called Forever.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:48

Oh.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:48

I'm thinking it's gonna be a sweet love story. I got so mad. Yeah. Then I had to watch cartoons. I do it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:56

I was mad about that too because that was unnecessary.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:58

That was the same unnecessary as Best Man had to do. It is, but I didn't have to kill that lady. She did not have to die. Y'all could have gave us a scare. You know, oh, Mia's sick, and we don't that. Oh, she's doing king.

SPEAKER_03: 1:13:12

Y'all killed that lady. Y'all, this is another episode, but I feel like they worship Mia. I don't think they worship her. Yeah, they owned it. Jesus was a good kid. Oh man. But the bottom line is the bottom line. The bottom line is that it's a blessing that you notice that if you watch those things, it can take you to the wrong place. Yeah. It can. And so you've been you didn't you've been operating in the grace for a long time of a spiritual maturity to know that, hey, this can put me in the wrong place. It can. And I I might not make it out. I need to stay safe. Because that stuff try to stay with me.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:53

And that's why I say, um, you know, understanding how you are wired is a lot too.

SPEAKER_03: 1:13:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:00

And that stuff try to stay with me. Just like, I mean, and I can't say that it's just because it's sad. Funny stuff stays with me. And I'll be laughing about it. And then an hour later, I'm laughing again. You know, just as hard, you know. So since I know that some, you know, something seem to stay with me like that, I don't I don't let them even get on me. Yeah. So when I watch that movie mistakenly like that, I was mad. Yeah. And if that movie stayed with me, I'm probably just not thinking about that movie. Maybe three days ago. Like, honestly, because it was just so sad. Yeah, like what the world? Yeah, it was unnecessary. Why would y'all do that?

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:43

You gotta turn on um.

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:45

It was too much. I turned on uh I turned on a cartoon. I think it was recess. I started watching recess. Yeah. I was like, oh my God. How did it make me this system pissed me off in the spirit? But sad movies, sad books. I threw um, girl, yeah, one one book I had, uh and I used to read, you know, avidly, like just books. I had a whole library, y'all, and some of my stuff is out there in the shit now. But I had I had this whole um, I had a big bookshelf, right? I had books everywhere. Even with my bookshelves, I had uh I had books in my in my closet, in my uh my drawers and stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 1:15:32

Books everywhere.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:33

I used to tell the drawers in my when I was young in my in my mom and daddy house just full of books. Clothes was in the closet and or on top of the dress, so my mama's gonna get me about that. But uh, but it was because I had books everywhere. But I read this book and uh it was beautifully written. I'm talking about the writing skill off the rector, but it was twisted. That was the most twisted book I ever read in my life. And I was like, I gotta get rid of this book. Cause usually uh when I like a book, I keep it. I don't just like give it away or you know, throw it away or whatever. If I like, because I reread it. And uh, but that book, that was a twisted book. Yeah. I mean it was twisted, but it was so delicious. I actually kind of read like three, three books like that. But that particular book, it was crazy.

SPEAKER_03: 1:16:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:33

And it was so crazy, and I kept it, um, just not thinking about it. I kept the book because it was it was good. I, you know, for I respected highly the writing skill. The writing skill, yeah. Respected it so much. But uh I thought about it. I was like, you know what, I gotta get rid of that book. And I didn't even want to give the book away. I didn't want to take it to uh goodwill or nothing like that. I threw that book away. Yeah. I almost wanted to burn it. But I didn't want to, I didn't want to pass that on to somebody else. Like, I didn't even, I was like, man, that she really wrote that book, but I wouldn't, I don't even think I would have written nothing like that to give to the masses. But you know, people don't think like me, because everybody you don't you don't do them like that. But I didn't even, I couldn't even give that book to somebody. I threw it away. And I threw a few more away um like that. Um but uh and one of my one of my favorite authors, she snuck in a a twisted one on me. I threw it away. And that was a s it was a struggle because okay, look here. So I'm a little, you know, a little different, a little quirky, a little bit. So especially when I have a favorite author, right? One of my favorite authors is Beverly Jenkins. I'm gonna tell y'all a quick story, right? And then this is how I know I'm getting older because I have about six quick stories in a in a setting. So I read this book called Indigo, right? And and I shouldn't have read it at the time. I read, I probably was like 14. And it wasn't a bad book, it was just too mature for how young I was. But um, it was a it was a romance novel, right? And I always thought romance novels was real mad cheesy or whatever. So I had no intention of reading it. I just got it be because of the cover. So I was at the library, you know how the libraries sell books. Yeah. Eventually, like they were selling the uh the paperbacks for 10 cents. That's how long ago this was. Yeah, I'm real long ago. And they were selling the uh the hardbacks for 25 cents. So, you know, I used to be woo racking up, you know what I'm saying? I used to rack up on them books. So I came across the book because I used to read Nancy Drew a lot. Uh and it's I can't remember who else right now, but Nancy Drew and you know, some other things. But I saw the book and I was just taken with it firstly because it was an African-American uh romance novel. And I had never seen that before. Okay. I was like, dog, you know, that's real interesting. Let me just get this book just because I was GP, they black. And the color was purple, my favorite color was purple, and it was called Indigo. You know, that's like a delicious shade of purple. And I was like, you know, I'm just gonna get this book just because I think it's it's pretty, and I think it's cool because it's it's an African-American woman. So I had read all the other books that I got, and I had reread them, and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna read this book. Maybe it's not that cheesy, you know. Yeah. And it wasn't deliciously written. When I say it's my favorite book, that's a secular book. Yeah. That is my favorite secular book. And I read that book so much, I tore it up, and I had to keep buying the book because it was, you know, the pages was old anyway. Yeah. And it was a youth book, so I tore it up. It was just deliciously written. And it wasn't, um, it wasn't cheesy at all. It was just a beautiful mix of everything. Yeah. Beautiful mix of everything. And um, so when I found out that she had other books, I'm getting to the point. This I know I'm getting older too, because I feel like I took a long time to get right here on why it was hard for me to get rid of this book. So when I found out that she had written these other books, I had to go and get all them other books. So Indigo was like her third book, because Vivi was the first one, then it was another one after that. So Indigo was the third one. Okay. And then when I found out, like this couple, they just it's just a beautiful story. And then when I found out that they was in like three of her other books at different stages in their life, I was like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:31

This is this is an author of my own. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I went and got all the other books that she had written before that, and then I started keeping up with her area. So I got about 30 of her books, right? But this particular book, she had um, it got a little twisted, it got a little dark in one of the books because of a person what they was practicing in the book. And I was like, ooh, girl, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:56

Like something new on this one.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:58

Yeah. And I was like, uh, I don't know. I just closed the book and I just put it back on my shelf and I put it back in in the order that it goes and I'm letting y'all in. And I don't want to, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull back about it. Yeah, but I had it, I had all her books lined up in the you know, chronological order that she wrote them. And so it was hard for me to get rid of that book because it was gonna knock off my order. Yeah. And it was one of her books, and I wanted to keep the collection of the series. But I had to get rid of that book because of that little that little dark, dark space in that book. And if I think about it too long, I can still feel that, you know, that darkness. And I made it feel like remember it, not feel it like that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:21:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:43

But uh, but I was like, man, I gotta get rid of this book. And I I wrestled with it. But that goes back to blood and you can wrestle with that stuff, yeah, just being familiar with it and wanting to hold them to it for you know sentimental value. But I did it. I got rid of that book. I went on and uh threw it away. Yeah, it was that stronghold book. I had to break it. It was a challenge. You hear me?

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:06

A challenge.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:07

It was a challenge, it was a challenge. I still got all the other books. They out there in the shed. Yeah, that's because I got a uh I got this set them up on the shelf, but I got rid of a lot of books. Once I started doing that, uh the Lord just started purging them books, and he was like, get rid of that one, that one, that one. And then once I once I saw that he gave me the power to get rid of that other book, the rest of them books, it wasn't nothing. It was simple. Boom, he's just gone, trash.

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:34

You didn't trade with him.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:36

I did, I had to trade it with him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:37

And he protecting you from whatever them books were. Whatever the books were.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:41

Right. And we can think it'd be simple stuff, and you know, um my mom, you know, she just be overjoyed that I love to read books, you know. And you know, I still like to read books, but um, getting rid of that book was was insane for me. It was crazy. It was crazy. Now the other book, it was just too twisted, and I never read, you know, anything else she had. So that one was easier, but but that book right there. But the one that you loved. Oh my god. That book right there, that was it was hard to get rid of that book, but I did it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:17

Well, I'm glad you got rid of it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:19

Yeah. Break the curse before it even was allowed to come.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:23

And I couldn't fathom passing it on. Mm-hmm. I couldn't get that to somebody. That's maturity right now. Yeah. I ain't want to put it in their spirit or put it in their mind, you know.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:35

Even though that might not be a place of weakness for them, I didn't want the chance again.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:39

You didn't want to open the door. Mm-mm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:41

No. Mm-mm. No. But that was a hard thing. But nothing. What the script says, ain't nothing too hard for God.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:52

Nothing is too hard for God. With man, things are impossible. But with God, all things are impossible.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:00

Fred Hammer, I like how he said. He said, that ain't nothing. That ain't nothing. He got a song and say, that ain't nothing.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:05

No, I don't know that song.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:06

That ain't nothing. Please listen to it. I liked it just because he said, That ain't nothing.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:11

I just listened to the one you sent me the other day. Show yourself strong. Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:16

I like this. I like when I want to um what what I I be, I'm trying to describe the feeling I want to feel, and I know I go to that song right there. Cause it just feels like a march, like a trample on the devil.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:31

Oh, okay. A trample on the devil. Well, he said you'll tread on serpents and scorpions.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:37

Yeah, it was like a trample. And it it makes me think of the scripture that says uh we can come boldly before the throne of grace.

unknown: 1:24:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:46

And uh so that's why I I love that song. But I like how Fred Hammond said, That ain't nothing.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:52

That ain't nothing.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:53

That ain't nothing too hard. And I'm gonna okay, I'm gonna go back to this too, with with my grandma with all the cakes and stuff at the table. And how nothing seemed to run out, which you know I'm sure it did, you know, of course, but eventually. But it makes me think about um when he fed the five thousand. Yeah. Fed all them people off that that little bit where we thought was a little bit, and then took up 12 baskets of of leftovers.

SPEAKER_03: 1:25:21

Ain't that crazy? Yeah. That's always fascinating.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:23

It's fascinating.

SPEAKER_03: 1:25:25

But that's God operating in the more than enough.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:27

In the more than enough. Yeah. More than we and that's how he does us. More than enough, not just enough. More than enough. But we have to know that that comes with the benefits of being his child. Being his child. And our expectations had to be put towards that more than enough. More than enough. And then Jesus does that more than one time, feeds a multitude. And then and the other time he fed a multitude, they took up seven baskets of leftovers. This man, he never missed.

SPEAKER_03: 1:25:56

I also find it fascinating that a lot of stuff that Jesus did, it's um at least one or two more times that he was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like it's never it's usually not just a single time that he's done something.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:07

And you know what that makes me think of um the scripture that says uh out of the mouth of two or more. You know, being witnesses and whatever.

SPEAKER_03: 1:26:16

Two or more witnesses.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:17

Then I think about the scriptures that say that uh the book can even encompass all the things he did. Yeah. And this is after the resurrection. Yeah. And I know that it was absolutely delicious. Yeah. I know it was absolutely delicious. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:26:34

Which shows that he he never runs out.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:37

He never runs out. That's what the song is like. More than enough. And love is a never-ending well, and it never runs dry. Mm-hmm. Never.

SPEAKER_03: 1:26:49

He can't run out. That man got a bunch of kids. And that's what your grandma would do.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:53

That's what she did. And she used to love it, baby. Operating in the will of God.

SPEAKER_03: 1:26:57

Yeah. The love of God.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:59

Operating in the more.

SPEAKER_03: 1:27:00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:01

And you would, you would look at my grandma and my granddaddy and uh think that they wouldn't have a lot because they weren't very flashy people. And uh, you know, they wasn't like, you know, very wealthy or anything. But they was when I think about my grandparents or looking at them now and registries and looking at them on pictures, they look so satisfied. They look so content. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03: 1:27:25

Because you know why? Because they were operating in there abundantly supplied. They were. I was trying to just find their scripture. Abundantly supplied. Abundantly supply. I feel like it's Romans. If we find it, we'll read it to y'all.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:42

Yeah, you be finding. Now we'll come back and let you know. But abundantly supplied. Yeah, they they look so content and uh so happy. And we was, my Lord. We were content. I'm gonna tell y'all how content my granddaddy was. He uh he was he was the one of the most Unbothered, uh, unrushed people that I knew, right?

SPEAKER_03: 1:28:06

He took his time.

SPEAKER_02: 1:28:07

He took his time. I say he took his time. I'm not exaggerating, y'all. And uh my granddaddy, it's so funny now, but uh it's so endearing to have uh memories of them like this. My granddaddy used to take me and my cousin and uh one of my mom's co-workers, sons to school. We used to go to clerk. He used to take us to school, so he would come get us from the school, uh my family school that my mom worked at, and he would take us um to school, middle school. But he would come in the building, right? And he had he used to think he was fine too, y'all. It was so funny. But uh he would have on his button-down shirt, and he at least like the foot the top three buttons wouldn't be buttoned up, and it used to be so funny. He was fine. It used to be so funny, but it wasn't like purvy or nothing. He was just very chill, you know, he was very content with himself and with everything. Yeah, it used to be so funny. But he would, uh we would get in the car with him. My granddaddy, my granddaddy, I'm sure he drove between 15 and 20 miles per hour on our way to school. And I was like, um, I would just be like, oh my God, this is so embarrassing, you know, when you young, because he just drive so slow, but he just be driving and humming, you know, it's like he just like he just taking the day in. Like it's just such a beautiful day. And like he was so, he was so unrushed. But he was just so loving. Like my grandparents, they were so loving. And uh, I just I just like looking at them and thinking about how content they were. And it just, you know, it just reminds me of the peace of God again, for real. And not that they hadn't experienced challenges, they had lost a child, my aunt had passed away. Um, you know, they dealt with things, but yeah, they were just content.

SPEAKER_03: 1:30:03

Yeah. So you really did you got the chance to just see them really with God, walking with them, or them walking with God. Yeah. Because he said he'll hold us by our right hand.

SPEAKER_02: 1:30:13

Yeah. He upholds us. Yeah. And it's right here, absolutely. They had lots of grandchildren and everything. Even, you know, looking at my own parents, um, I had a sibling who passed away, a sister. And uh, you know, looking at them, you would you wouldn't know. They just didn't, um, and not to say that we they didn't have sad moments, because they did. Uh, but looking at them, you know, they're not in a love affair with sadness. They didn't indulge in the in the loss, you know. And uh even when we talk about it now, of course, um we may get teary eyed, but most of the time when we talk about it, it's joy. And it's the things that we remember about her. And, you know, and you know, it just there's just a peace, you know. There's just a peace. And uh I just think it's it's one of the most, if you feel like you're a brilliant person or intelligent person, one of the most intelligent things you could do is become a child of God. One of the most brilliant things you could do is become a child of God. If you feel like you shouldn't be a child of good God, one of the most brilliant things you can do is become a child of God. It is and just receive him, it's just so beautiful. Taking on his righteousness, taking on his perfection, taking on his just for having full access to him. Like if he's if he's good to you and you're not his child, imagine, you know, the much more or whatever. And you know, the scripture's clear, Christ died for us while we were yet sinners, when we was his enemy. Yeah, he gave his whole life for us. But having that full access to him, baby, it's different.

SPEAKER_03: 1:31:55

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_02: 1:31:56

It's different. Like my students, right? My students have full access to me. Now, there are other children at the school, and me cool. I'm cool with them. I want the best with them too.

SPEAKER_03: 1:32:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:32:10

But my students, yeah, they're gonna get the best of me always. Yeah. Yeah. They're gonna get the best of me. Not saying that the other kids get the worst of me, but my kids, my little students, they're gonna get the best of me. Because they mine. Yeah. That's because they mine.

SPEAKER_03: 1:32:29

That's the same with the parent. Yeah. You have nieces and nephews. Yeah. And you love them dearly. You love them so dearly. Yeah. But when it comes to your kids, oh. Y'all getting the best of the best. If I got it, you got it. Yeah. Once again, it's on. T, I said you can have whatever you like. Yeah. And what the children say, and I love it. And I love it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:32:54

And I love it. But we, you know, we get to see so many examples of of uh Jesus, God, in the body, taking care of his children, taking care of his bloodline. He takes care of them. The Bible says we are the sheep of his pasture. That is a beautiful thing, you know. If we understand the relationship between shepherd and sheep, that's a beautiful thing. Being the sheep of his pasture, that's a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_03: 1:33:27

Even um, just real quick, jumping back to Tamar's story after um, I think it's Genesis 38. And when uh Tamar, of course, y'all know the story that Tamar was raped by her brother um Amnon. Uh Ammon. Amnon. And his brother Um Absalon avenged avenged uh Tamar. Am I saying it right? Avenged Tamar. And so basically Absalon killed Amnon. But then if you look at the end of um chapter 38, I believe it's chapter 38. No, I'm getting it mixed up. The other Tamar. Oh, I'm thinking about the other Tamar. I'm sorry, y'all.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:11

Oh no, you that's there's another, that's a Tamar too, that's in the bloodline.

SPEAKER_03: 1:34:16

That's in the bloodline. But that Tamar, um, Absalom had killed the brother who raped Tamar. Yeah. And then at the end of that chapter, that might have been 2 Samuel 8. Yeah, that's in Samuel. And um, but at once he killed him, David, I feel like David felt a little relief because he did. Yeah. Because that was taken care of that he had done that to his daughter.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:40

Yeah. He ran, but I think he did too. I think he felt a little relief, but but we it we can go back to the other Tamar, right? Mm-hmm. So that that story, and she's a part of the the bloodline also. Mm-hmm. And then we noticed that too. Um, sometimes the names are uh repeated, like people being named after other people, right?

SPEAKER_04: 1:35:07

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:08

But that Tamar, um she she was the one, she had another set of, she had a set of twins. And if I'm not mistaken, um they're the first set of twins we come across in the Bible. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they were. But they they um they are related to Jesus through Judah, who is a son of Jacob, who's neighbor, later called Israel. So that's where we get the 12 tribes of Israel from. So that's coming out of Judah. But Judah had three sons, and both of his sons died, but Tamar was married to one of the sons, right? He died before they could have children. And so in that time in custom and culture, you would marry another brother to keep that bloodline running if the brother passed away with no children. So uh then she is given to O Nan, who is the brother to uh of the one who passed away. So old he sleeps with her, but you know, you go back and read that story, but he ends up dying. And so Judah makes a promise to her that when his other son got old enough that he would um he would give that son to her so she could have children with that son. Right. But Judah changes his mind, right? But she Tamar is in mourning all this time, right? And she holding on to this promise that Judah gave her that she was still gonna, you know, have a have a children out of that bloodline. So she at her end of the deal, she didn't get remarried, whatever, yada yada. She was in mourning all that time. So when she sees that this third son has grown up and Judah didn't give him, she tricks Judah into sleeping with her. And then Judah gets her pregnant with twins. But he didn't know that it was his uh his daughter-in-law. Right. So like this whole, like, the whole line, they got some, they got some stuff going on. Yeah, it's a lot of twists and turns. It's a lot of twists and turns. That whole little line. But still, with all of that, here comes Jesus. The perfect, perfect lamb. The perfect lamb. Perfect one. Yeah. Here he comes on the scene, ready to eradicate that. He actually, it really avenges the bloodline. He he corrects it. Isn't that beautiful? Yeah. So he came through all that. So you know, whatever you're dealing with in your bloodline, there's Jesus. He just gonna change it. He's gonna fix it. He's gonna eradicate it and make that thing pure and perfect. Yeah, he's gonna iron it out. Yeah. Make them cricket ways straight.

SPEAKER_03: 1:37:55

Cricket straight.

SPEAKER_02: 1:37:56

Man, uh, we just we hope that this this episode has been an encouragement to you. And whatever you're dealing with, you know, whatever you feel like it's a generational hold on you, you can be free from that. And it doesn't matter what it is. Jesus did with all the things in his line. It's nothing too hard from him. Nothing that he hasn't triumphed over anyway. Yeah. And you can be come try come triumphant just like him. By taking him on, by taking on his righteousness and taking on his perfection. But um anything else you wanna you wanna add to it, sis?

SPEAKER_03: 1:38:32

Well, I'll just say, y'all forgive me for the tamar earlier because I was getting my tamars mixed up. But it's alright. But just uh, like you said, whatever you deal with in your bloodline, whether it's murder or addiction or promiscuity or prostitution, hormoner, whatever it is, even evil thoughts towards people or um wanting to be isolated and not deal with people at all, those are things which is everything that God can turn around. So just you know, if you haven't considered coming into the bloodline of Christ, consider it. Don't just mark it off um completely, don't turn from it completely.

SPEAKER_04: 1:39:13

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:39:13

At least get all of the information and then make a um a spiritual but yet informed decision that way. So you know, let you know, if God pricks your heart, let that come about. See what that's about, see what's going on with it. Um get around some people, ask some questions, get into his word, pray to God, you know. God, if you're real, give me a sign. Yeah. Or God, if you're real, um, let somebody come to me and say something to me, or God speak to me, whatever. It's different avenues. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He's the only way to the Father, but it's different ways as a human that we can experience God.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:52

Communicate with him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:39:53

I think Pastor John said um he has different ways of executing what he needs to have done. Absolutely. Yeah, so yeah, that was good. I just admonish y'all, you know, if you don't know Christ, um, if you're interested in knowing Christ, if you don't have an inkling, well, everybody got some kind of inkling, I always say, but just open it up. That's the doorway trying to open up a little bit. So let let him come in and you know, get to know him, learn of his ways. And I just I just admonish you to come in. Let him let him make you the royal priesthood, the overcomer. Yeah, um, you're gonna be seen in him. Yeah, you won't be overlooked. He overlooks none of his children, he loves his boys and his girls. Yeah, he loves his men and his women. Yeah, um, no matter who you are, if you have identity crisis, even in that, let God come in and show you that he loves you. Get the identity of Christ. Yeah, so it's so much to be said, but just to thumb it up, just try Jesus.

SPEAKER_02: 1:40:53

Just try him. That's so good. It's so much to say. It is. And and again, like she said, learn of him. Yeah, we we even learn that from blood. Excuse me. Blood, essentially, in you know, the medical standpoint, the the gene standpoint, it gives instructions.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:13

And what you're gonna look like, what you're gonna think, what you're gonna like, what you're gonna dislike, right? How you gonna sound. And so if if natural blood can do that, yeah. Spiritual blood, yeah, opening up that book, getting them instructions out of that word, learning of God, yeah. That's how you do it. And he wants to adopt you, he wants you, he wants you. That's another beautiful point about adoption, period.

SPEAKER_03: 1:41:41

You are chosen, he's choosing you, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:44

It's just not willy-milly. I'm chosen you, yeah, choosing you. I see you, I see all the things, yeah, and I'm still choosing you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:41:52

Yeah, pretty much. I know that you've lost. I know that you've lost a child, I know that you've lost a parent. I know that you didn't have your dad or your mother, or you have people who weren't what you needed to be, what you needed them to be for you at that particular time. I know that you might not be rich and famous at this point, but God is saying, I want you. I want you to come to me. I want you to rest. He makes us to lie down in green pastures, he leads us beside still waters. Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil because his rod and his staff they comfort us. That Psalm 23 is true. It's true. You can quote that every day and build yourself up in the Lord. You know, surely his goodness and his mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. So just, you know, y'all, just just come. Surely. Just come. Just come. I just want to I just want to hug everybody.

SPEAKER_02: 1:42:45

Yes. Yeah. That's real, though. Like those of you who feel like you used up. You feel like you a target, whatever you feel, whatever, whatever you think. Yeah, it don't phase God. It don't phase him. You he still wants you. Yeah. He still wants you. We see there a beautiful example of that with the prodigal son. Yeah. The son got his inheritance too early. He went out there, did things he had no business doing. Yeah. And he wanted to come back home. The Bible said he came to himself. Come to yourself.

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:43:22

The Bible said he came to himself. And he was going to come in and present himself lower than what he was.

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:43:28

He was still a son. He wanted to become in lower than what he was. You're a creation, but you can be his son. Yeah. And guess he came to him with this pity padding. I want to come in lower than what I am. The father sees him so much as a son, he don't even listen to the servant talk about of him. He don't even respond to that. He immediately gives instructions for his blood son to be covered and to be restored back in position. Not that he ever lost it, but he's speaking to the son.

SPEAKER_03: 1:44:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:44:02

He's speaking to the son. That man was looking for his son. The Bible says he ran to him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:44:08

Yeah.

unknown: 1:44:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:44:09

And covered him. He didn't care that man was thinking. He didn't care that he had left. He ain't care that he had done all those things. The Bible says he was looking for him. Yeah. And he ran to him and restored the position. He was just out of place. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:44:26

Just come on back.

SPEAKER_02: 1:44:27

He was just out of place. And essentially, that's what humankind is. Out of place. Yeah. Because you were created to be his children, but got out of place. Got out of place. Get back in line. The Lord wants you. Don't let it, let them let the enemy tell you that he don't. Don't let yourself tell you. Don't let other people. I don't even care if they say they Christians. Because we also saw the other brother in that story, in that same story, who was a son also. Yeah. But he he wasn't greeting him. He wouldn't have greeted him the same way. That's why you have to focus on the father.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:01

And he was out of place.

SPEAKER_02: 1:45:02

You was out of place. He was in his feelings, in his emotions. He should have been just as happy to see his brother. Right. Right. He should have been just as happy, but that's why you have to have relationship with it. It was the relationship with the father. Jesus. It had nothing to do with the relationship with the brother. Yeah. It was all the relationship with the father.

unknown: 1:45:28

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:30

And sometimes we we um we can get so broken to where we can't see how we can be fixed. Yeah. But when you come into Jesus Christ, it's not your job to see how you can.

SPEAKER_02: 1:45:41

It's not your job to see it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:43

Just let them fix you.

SPEAKER_02: 1:45:44

And just experience it, yeah?

unknown: 1:45:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:45:46

Just experience it. That lady had been trying to be fixed all them years with that issue of blood. Yeah. She done used up her money, and the Bible says the stuff that they was doing made the stuff worse. But she encountered the right person. The right one. And fixed that issue of blood. The Bible didn't say she was here, it said she was whole and she felt it in her body. My God. Hey, what did he call her? This is important. What did he call her? Daughter. She had traded blood? Nah, what that meant.

SPEAKER_03: 1:46:20

Yeah. So good. So good. So good.

SPEAKER_02: 1:46:25

And it's not hard to become a child of God. It's not hard to become a child of God. I think this is definitely a moment where we should uh cast the net to come into the fold, to become a brother, a sister. In Christ Jesus, to be the son of God. And son is just pointing back to Jesus because that's whose image, that's whose perfection you take on. It has nothing to do with a gender.

SPEAKER_03: 1:46:52

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:46:53

You just want to be a child of God. Yeah. But it's it's is easy. It's clear. The Lord said, believe in your heart, confess with your mouth. And even if you feel like you don't believe, you believe because you ain't gonna be mad at somebody that don't exist. That don't exist, yeah. You just need to get on the right side with it. You ain't gonna be mad about that. I don't argue with things that I feel like don't matter. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:47:17

Because it don't matter.

SPEAKER_02: 1:47:18

It don't matter. I'm unbothered by that. So you just on the wrong side of affection for him. But he wants you still. And it's easy. Yeah. It's easy. So if you will, you want to become a son, all you have to do is believe that the Lord came for you. And how he came for you to make you new is to die, to be buried, and to rise again. And he did all those things. And you say, Lord, I'm in need of you. I'm a sinner and I want to be saved. I want to be your son. I'm trading all these things and I'm giving it to you for your perfection. And I take you now as Lord of my life. I take on your blood lines. And I am now adopted into the beloved. You pray that prayer, you believe it in your heart, confess with your mouth, then it is so. You are now a child of God. You have been moved from creation to a child of God. You have been moved from darkness to light. The devil, I got the lad with you, is no longer your father. No longer what that girl be saying, you are not the father. You are not the father. You are not the father. Now you're a child of God, you're accepting it to beloved. Welcome.

SPEAKER_03: 1:48:39

Yeah, welcome in.

SPEAKER_02: 1:48:41

Welcome. Welcome in. Welcome.

SPEAKER_03: 1:48:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:48:44

My God, today. I hope that this episode has been an encouragement. I hope that many will hear this and believe. And be loose from the chains of the enemy. And be loose from the chains of what you feel like are bloodline strongholds. It's possible, I'm telling you now. It is a possible thing. It's sound and it feels impossible, but it's possible. Jesus' name. Well, we're going to let you go, guys. Anything else you want to say to him, sis?

SPEAKER_03: 1:49:18

I mean you gotta glorify the most high if you really listen No need in driving on the empty tank to school replenished Ain't no pressure just to talk Revealin' truth in his walk When the footprints in the sand look way more bitey than yours No shame in holding on to his shoulders When life get heavy as bowlers the vessel will be made available. That's what he told us. All glory to God while we go on his journey. Put all into your speeches. We decree that you have made us worthy. We still listen, so Lord, talk to me and protect me from the ones who throwin' salt to me. I'm never afraid of people finding little faults in me. Cause I'm tight with the redeemer. Just take this walk with me. Or come talk with me. I'm here to shed his light and do my best to be reflection of him at all times. And even when I fall off his honesty in my eyes, I'm not a perfect person. I'm the first to admit it, but he paid my tuition. So I just had a long week.
