[00:01:05] Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to afternoon inspirations and 12th Street Talk Back. I am your host, Victoria J. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, what an all-come on in the world, come on in the world and rest a while. We are on afternoon style for those of you that missed it

[00:01:25] on Friday if you didn't tap into my Freedom Fridays and Girl Chat with special guests, Natasha Dickens, Life Coach, Counselor, Life Counselor, Mental Health, Life Counselor. Let me get that right as a difference between the coach and the counselor. Well, I now said,

[00:01:47] on Friday evening that we'll be doing 130 Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays or Fridays, it'll fluctuate depending on the guests' time. But for nail and until we get some things out of doubt, with my family member, we just brought here for my hometown Virginia. We just found out

[00:02:14] and we could go to the heat and answer. And so everybody's pitching in and doing their part and you know, guys I've got my appointment steel which were already running me late at 1130. So

[00:02:27] you know, from kind of that anxious right nail to finish up this season I've got three more guests in the end. We'll be done for the season and your girl will be on vacation and I will not

[00:02:40] be starting my season 7 up into a round November, October, November, right around my anniversary. So guys today, we're going to jump into chapter 6. Simply because I did do this love

[00:02:58] when you two earlier today and as I listened back to it, it was very, very choppy and I'm so disappointed in my mic because I just got this mic for Christmas. It was not cheap and some days it just does

[00:03:18] this all thing. And today it was very, very choppy and I guess it's just dependent on how you speak into it. It's one of those mics where you gotta speak directly down into it and I think I

[00:03:34] was speaking from the side of it today. So it was awful. So those of you that were in the live, hopefully if you're listening to the actual audio which is uploaded on YouTube as well,

[00:03:48] you can hear what I was saying today but I was basically going over chapter 5. I'm not going to go back through that but I am going to go and I'm going to read chapter 6. Chapter 5 we went

[00:04:04] over that Thursday and Paul was just re-interrating what God wanted. His children to do the walk-in love if they're on your husband and wives, respect him, me and love your wives

[00:04:21] as Christ loves to church. So now we're into chapter 6. Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. I don't think your father, any mother which is the first commandment with promise that they

[00:04:40] may be well with you and you may live long on the earth and you fathers do not provoke your children and wrath to wrath but bring them up in the training and a moneyshen at moneyshen of the Lord.

[00:04:55] Bondservants Bill, be deend to those who are your master's according to the flesh with fear and trembling and savority of the heart as two Christ. Not with our service as man pleasers but his

[00:05:12] bondservants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. With good will, dual service as to the Lord and not to man. Knowing that whatever good anyone does he will receive the same from

[00:05:27] the Lord whether he is a slave or free and you master the same thing to them, give, giving them up threatening knowing that your own master also inhabit and there is no partiality with him.

[00:05:47] Only my brother be strong in the Lord and in the power of his mind. Little your whole homer of God that you may be able to stand against the white walls of the devil where we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, let against principalities against powers

[00:06:06] against rulers of darkness of this age against spiritual hosts or weakness and heavily places. Therefore take up the whole homer of God that you may be able to withstand the evil day and haven't done all to stand. Stand there for, have a girded your waist with the true,

[00:06:28] have an put on your blessed plate of righteousness, have a surge of feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench

[00:06:42] all fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. Bring always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit be

[00:06:58] watchable to this end with all preference and supplication for all the saints. And for me, that other ones may be given to me and that I might open my mouth only to make no

[00:07:14] the mysteries of the gospel which I am a pastor in chains that in it I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. But that you also may know my affairs and I am doing.

[00:07:32] Take a kiss and beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will make all things known to you. whom I have sent to you for this very purpose that you may know our affairs and that he may

[00:07:48] comfort your hearts. He's to the brother, brethren and love with faith from God the father in the Lord Jesus Christ grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in society.

[00:08:04] Amen. So guys that was the book of Ephesians, pretty short in sweet into the point. And as I said before this book was, well, addressed to a group of believers who were rich beyond measure in

[00:08:22] Jesus Christ yet living as beggars and only because they were ignorant of their will. All began this book and chapters one through three, but tell them the Christians about their heavenly bank account, about their adoption that acceptance the redemption forgiveness, wisdom,

[00:08:43] inheritance, the seal of the Holy Spirit life grace, citizenship, and short, every spiritual blessing that God has gifted to us. Now I am so glad about it. I am glad that he adopted

[00:09:01] us the Gentiles into this book. As we talked about on last week, I have a living bank account and if you guys missed it go back and read it for yourself and I've got me a couple of

[00:09:16] nifty commentaries and different books where it gives it a little bit more bright down, but as we know we can go many things these days and we'll probably be back over here in Ephesians. This is

[00:09:30] not our first time over here. This is our first time with a little bit more clarity on my poor and I can say, but when he talked about the heavenly bank account, what you guys do remember

[00:09:44] he said, uh, grace and mercy which God's bestows the Stosiness every day. He chose us for the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. I have

[00:10:03] a predestinance to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to good pleasure of his will. To praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted in the below. In him,

[00:10:22] we have redemption to his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace which he made to abound to warn us and our wisdom and prudence. I've made no to us

[00:10:35] the mysteries of his will according to his good pleasure which he proposes to in himself that in the dispensers, dispensers, the salvation of the four of those of Tom's, he might gather together in one

[00:10:54] all things in Christ, both which aren't heaven and which are Lord in him. In him we also have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the cancel of his will that we who first trusted Christ should be praised

[00:11:16] of his glory. In him you also trust, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and who also have believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee

[00:11:31] of adherence to the redemption of the purchase possessions through the praise of his glory. So basically, the regrets Jesus, we were adopted, regards to the real God's children. We praise and magnify His name and we are forgiving our sins. This is something that bestowed upon us

[00:12:03] before the foundations of the world. So basically Paul was telling them this heavenly bank account is eternal life, and every spiritual blessing that God in give us he has already given it to us

[00:12:21] before the foundations of the earth. And that's why he called it the heavenly bank account simply because the grace and the mercy has already been deposited. It's all I have in the

[00:12:38] bank account. He breathes his breath and our body every day wakes us up. We have working limbs, as I'd say years to hear we have jobs, homes, cars, we can give them some praise just in those things

[00:12:55] because we need those things for everyday life. But, Mircikly had about it that he covered us for eternity just like when Jesus rose on the third day he stopped bad. Had picked up his body yet but on that third day when he rose,

[00:13:19] he would he did had the top with the disciples to show him a I have risen just like this word is alive. His grace and mercy, the blood of the lion, your redemption, without him you can

[00:13:40] do nothing. So this grace and mercy is in our heavenly bank account and the way we make a withdrawal is having faith in our Lord and save you Jesus Christ as he asked us to do. He said heaven and

[00:13:58] earth shall pass away before my word will return to me, wooing. So he keeps his promises. We need to keep ours with that being said God's that was the book of Ephesians again. Reread it for yourself. Love it because that's sometimes forget, my scripture

[00:14:26] and when he went all over the chapter, Shakespeare's 11th. They were 17. He reminded me and I always say it backwards but on your whole arm of God that you should be able to stand against the walls of the devil. So he gave us this recipe and

[00:14:47] he told us he said but we don't harass a wood flesh of wood with against friends of paladies against power against the rulers in the dark ages. It gives spiritual hosts

[00:15:00] of wickedness and heavenly places. He told us to take up all our love God and we may be able to withstand an evil days and after we've all done all that we could do to stand

[00:15:19] and after we've all done that we could do to stand. Girl, I waste with the truth. But on our breastplate of righteousness should I feet with the preparation of the gospel which is

[00:15:33] peace and above all take the shield of faith with you. But on your helmet, a salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. And that is why we get into our world.

[00:15:54] So there will have something to fight with. People are not the problem. The man or the woman on your job. The people in your bills and if you live in a kind of legs that's playing the music too loud or not looking after their children.

[00:16:13] And they're tearing up your property like a girl we hear. It's not now. It's that demonic spirit that's swirling around that he is the prince of the air. So when you look at people, even though it may pain you or kill you to overlook some of the

[00:16:38] ignorance we have in the world. You got to love them anyway. You got to love them has their faults because those are demonic spirits. I imagine if Satan wouldn't run around having his way. Some of these people that sometimes can get on our nerves.

[00:17:02] Plug a nerve, they can probably be the kind of this person in the world because God was about love. But it is free will. We serve a jealous God as well as he's a gentleman. God the father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit. Trinity.

[00:17:29] It's free will. He's not going to beg us. He's such a gentleman. He's not going to beg us. The turn on life around. He's already come done what he's going to do. He died on that cross for our sins. He decended and ascended.

[00:17:51] They went down a hill, gathered up the people. I believe he preached for three days. So nobody could say I didn't know and when he rose on that earth day, oh how are you in his hand? Boy oh boy, people didn't know. They didn't know.

[00:18:12] There is these didn't know. They none of those people knew but he was dropping them gems the whole time. Parables even the disciples. Airables. Let them know you really don't want to kill me because when you do, I will rise again

[00:18:35] and I ain't coming about myself. He rose with all those people that didn't have the opportunity to know who he was. I can see David singing. I could see Abraham saying, oh he coming.

[00:18:54] I don't get how long it takes. He's coming. He comes and gives. And that is exactly what he did. He's grounded at not robbery. So find his self equal to his father. His father placed him and seated him at his right side to make intersections

[00:19:19] or harm the hand. Remember we ran back in John. Thank John. He said, I am the good shepherd. My sheep no more boys. He says, nobody takes my life away from me.

[00:19:38] He said, I lay it down and I can make it back up on our wall. That's bad. To be able to have all that authority where when you walk in the world, demon's triple at the sound of your name.

[00:19:56] A scatter just like when he walked up to that aid and all those leashes and demons. They were sad if you hear. We in trouble. He didn't have to say, oh one. So that's the gift.

[00:20:22] Look at how many gifts that we haven't found was imparted on us. Grayson mercy even in the days time. When some of us can't see, to say, Lord, I'll make you my Lord and save you

[00:20:38] Jesus Christ. I've seen the gift you and I accept you as my Lord and save you Jesus Christ. Many loves your past all your funds. Some love your children, your wives, your family member, that employ 11 past their phones. What to say, the janspending any time with them.

[00:21:01] But you can love them past their phones. As that's what God does for us every day. He created this close before the foundation of the world. So he was already 20 steps ahead of us.

[00:21:19] Won't he million steps ahead of us? And he gave us a blueprint which is this word. No matter how anybody tries to dress it up, I'm gonna try to tell you there's so many different copies and versions of whatever. All God loves is a personal relationship with you.

[00:21:43] In saying a prayer, it's easy. It's just talking to him as I'm talking right now. Tell him your heart's desires. As I just came up a fast last Thursday, a fast to get close to God to get some understanding. I'm still a babe in Christ.

[00:22:10] Going on three years, four years, actually four years, going on four years. And I've known God on my wasn't ready to fully accept him as my Lord and Savior. Because you know, we saw our wild folks. And if you've been raised in a Christian house,

[00:22:37] somewhat safe, it's very strict and stern. But as you get older, you go back to what you know and you find out that mama really wasn't crazy, daddy really wasn't crazy. Because the Bible tells us to turn a child up in the way they should go.

[00:22:58] And they were only trying to do their best for us. I'm not saying all parents, so please don't twist my words. I'm saying the ones you wanted to bring you to Christ. And then they are

[00:23:12] people who are saying that was some of the worst experience they had. So now, as it was always, it's still free, because you're not in your parents house anymore. But you can't make

[00:23:31] our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They had to be your house, so I tell them that you said against him. And you accept him. You put no other God. Nothing or no one before him. Like he did for us.

[00:23:48] But as I was in my fast to come and off of it, share with me something I want to share with you guys. You know when you fast, you're in your word. You may watch or listen to a little bit of

[00:24:09] preaching, if you choose to take a nature world, you're merely going to look God out and everything that he created. But there's different paths. You've got the Daniel fast, which will add to vegetables, water. But after a certain time, then do it into after six.

[00:24:33] But without that being said, I'm not a dream and I'm not going to share the dream is a dream because we are but I wanted to decipher it. Because in that dream it was a beautiful dream

[00:24:49] and the body of the tree was just so detailed, you'd be very, and I wanted to know a little bit more as well as get close to God about some things that I wasn't quite sure of and I was hoping

[00:25:09] that he would whisper something to me. Well, then get that immediately. I got it later on. I've later won the next day. And then I got the rest of it the day. But what I got come

[00:25:28] off that fast is A. I got to watch my tongue. Especially when it comes to respect and my husband. Because we all can get attitude, some do different things, slight belly each other, not mean to. In career is what he gave me. Tell it from your heart.

[00:26:00] I can only speak as an African American woman, born up in the church. Because I don't really like to say Christianity or religion, I do, but I don't like it. I'm a child

[00:26:13] a guy. However, he showed me that it's much as some of us that walk with Christ and we think that we're just being the greatest Christian in the world. They walk Korean and we're praying scripture

[00:26:33] we're put reminded him of his words and we're praying for our family members and strangers and leaders and all that good stuff. It sounds really, really good and some of us we're praying really, really hard

[00:26:44] and start speaking in our happy language too. And we think we're doing everything the right way that it, we're out of mind that what about that corner of your heart? That you're trying to stand tall and tough it out. Like God, don't I already know that you

[00:27:06] worried about something or something's bothering you? You don't have to man a with God because he always know your heart. So he reminded me, lay it all right there at the altar no matter how big or matter how small because he patches the words of his daily brand

[00:27:34] across the tables of our heart. It doesn't mean that we all, you're everything right that we don't every night, cryl say, retake, we miss some things in our eating of the word and sometimes we all thought our chest and we boast

[00:28:00] even though with our mouths we're saying, well no I'm not doing it and my wheel I'm doing it and God's wheel. Did you ask him that? He gave you that assignment, and have you really laid down

[00:28:14] on your burdens because God really wants to trust us and sometimes we can go through some things that are almost break us as Christians, as saints, as children of God, shout of God.

[00:28:35] But it's the test to see how you're gonna handle it. If you can smile, handle the small things and the big things will be even better. He said in this word, it will be

[00:29:00] fear for irritated and I'm just paraphrasing here. It won't despise that was what it was. It won't despise small beginnings. He has to know that he can trust you, so whatever you believe

[00:29:16] in God for it, there is a corner of doubt in your head or if you got mad that's something that you believe in the God and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. And it just didn't happen.

[00:29:34] Just didn't go your way, you didn't get that promotion, you didn't get that house, whatever it is. Family member, loss to family member, you could be light me, just finding out one of my family

[00:29:46] members has cancer, it's one of my brothers or sisters. And you looking at God and you're saying, God where are you? You're having much more than I'm gonna take on faithful. Search your heart,

[00:30:05] search every corner of this. It is searching my heart. I found out I wasn't doing as great as I thought I was but I'm obedient. But it's the small things that we leave footprints behind because we think that we've conquered big things. But we're not impressing God.

[00:30:30] I see one of the babies of the trust us. He want to know that we're not walking in our own counsel, but we'll get a corner to the instructions that he's given us this blueprint which is the one.

[00:30:44] Peace and blessings to you all. Until next time. Listen guys if you happen to be in an North Carolina area especially the Winston Salem North Carolina August 9th in Pan. Say, our outreach center is coming to town for their second annual management and leadership
