Episode #199: Tarot Lessons: The Suit of Wands Pt. 1

De'Vannon Seráphino: [00:00:00] Hello. Hello, hello everyone and welcome back to the Sex Drugs and Jesus podcast. My name is De'Vannon Seráphino, and I'm your host. And today I am here to teach you about the the wands, the suit of wands from the tarot. We are gonna be concluding our tarot instructions on today that we started a couple of months ago.

And, and before I get too into that, let me just tell you the website is SexDrugsAndJesus.com, on YouTube and on TikTok. We are @SexDrugsAndJesusPodcast, we went through on previous episodes like the Zodiac planetary houses the modalities in the all manner of astrological subject matter. We covered it in, in, in pretty specific detail on the YouTube channel.

There's actually like a, like a tarot lessons playlist that has it broken [00:01:00] down quite specifically, so it be more easy for you to navigate that way. Now why now? Why did I save the, the suit of wands? For last

Because like, like, like, like fire, it seems to like inform everything. So like when you think about

like how in the, how in the chakras, like, so you got like the root chakra, the the sacral chakra that it goes with like, like the, the solar plexes and all of that. And the colors go from like warm to cool. There are certain schools, schools of thought that believe that like the root and the sacral chakra inform and strengthen and enhance all of the upper chakras.

So. It takes fire to cook any cook a lot of things [00:02:00] to get things ready. Heat is the catalyst and a lot of scientific experiments and everything, which sets things to boil and to get things into motion is heat. You, you gotta have that spark of fire to get anything done. And so we covered like the swords, the cups, the pinnacles was the, was the, was the previous one.

And all those things are very important, but it's something about that fire, something about that flame that it takes to set anything into motion. And then it, it then fire to me the way the spirit is dealing with me with this sometimes we have a, we often act too quickly without, without, without getting our head heart and our stability in check first.

And so

I cover those other ones to provide like a like the foundation. [00:03:00] We, we, we, we wanna act on stuff. We wanna be sure, like with the cups, our emotions are right with the pinnacles. Our finances are in order, our stability in order. We got enough food and the pantry, we have clothes and, and things of that nature with the swords that we're not gonna let ourselves be deceived by a frenemy some fool pretending to be our friend, when really they hate us to our face to be able to think sharply and to excommunicate people and habits and places and things when we need to.

So what I'm saying is the Holy Ghost led me to teach you this in this specific order so that you get your house in order. A wise woman once told me, you have to look out before you step out. And this that was the prophetess who raised me Prophetess Evangelist Dorothy Nelson said that you have to look out before you step out.

You have to look out before you step out. And this w suit is all about [00:04:00] action. It is about giddy up and adelante moving forward. It's about progression, but you know, you have to have your, your constitution in order, the way you think with the swords, the way you feel with the cups, the way you handle your material with the pinnacles, and then you step forward is why this was done in this order.

And even though I'm a my primary sign being Sagittarius, this is a sign of fire. I did not lead with that. I end it with that because it fire is a beautiful thing. People get excited when you talk about fire Sagittarius or whatever, but you gotta handle your flame because if you don't, it will burn you and break burst out of control.

And you gotta have fire, but you have to have it like contained type of a thing. You have to understand it. Like what you're doing with fire is, the first rule of it is, is to understand it's the nature, [00:05:00] not just get all excited about it. Understand what you're dealing with when you're dealing with fire.

After today, we will cover more and more specific detail, like the relationship between the tarot cards and planets and the ruling houses like the planetary houses and the zodiac signs and things like that. And then after that, I will begin to do the monthly, I think, I think it'll, I think this monthly, we'll do like a monthly global reading.

We'll cover like past, present, future, and a few things like that, or whatever the Holy Ghost is telling me to do. And each month and go from there. Generally speaking, you only need like one reading a month just to kind of see what God is saying and things like that. Unless you got something more like bad going on, do you need to, like a weekly reading for instance is too much.

Like you need to, you check in with God, see what he's saying, then give some time for things to, to percolate and [00:06:00] matriculate and then check back in. Like in terms of like an in, in, in, in, in depth detail reading. Now you pray, you fast and you read your Bible consistently. You ought to be praying daily.

Your aim is to work up to three times a day, morning, noon, and night. And then you fast. Like I do it like twice a week, typically a couple of hours, whatever morning, or unless I'm gonna do something more extreme. But there's a, there's blog. The blog over at the SexDrugsAndJesus.com website has. Fasting prayer in Bible study, explain.

It's just like a, like a little one page thing that gets you started on it. But those things are like kind of a, a part of your foundation before the Lord. Because even when it comes to doing certain work for the Lord, like in the Bible, when them disciples went and tried to cast out that that lunatic spirit, they could not do it.

And Jesus told them, well this kind here comes out only by prayer and fasting. Some things just will not move out [00:07:00] of your life unless you understand how to pray and how to fast. And that's just what it is.

So anyway, we'll, we'll get into the global readings when that time comes. I have some beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tarot decks that I cannot wait to show them to you. And they are, and they're so colorful and so lively and, and, and kind that you might not expect that, that that one would read in a tarot reading.

But as I stand for the most high God, Jesus Christ, also known as Yeshua in Hebrew and the Holy Ghost, also known as the Shekinah Glory. And we gon called Yahweh Yahweh in Hebrew, Shekinah Glory in Hebrew. I think those are just beautiful names. Oh my God. And and I only do any of my spiritual work.

Whatever it is, the tarot cards, whatever it is you have seen me do or talk about [00:08:00] through the power of those three, God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, other than that, don't play with no other deities. No. These little bitty gods or whatever they're supposed to be. I don't deal with it. And so throughout this here, I will be quoting as I read through the descriptions from astro style.com.

I don't agree with everything from their website and, and not everything within their tarot descriptions, but it was the most like cohesive, all in one place that I could find. Like their take on like the planets and the suns and what corresponds to which tarot cards. But like low key though, when you're like doing this sort of work, it's not like a set thing, say like, say like the Knight of Wand.

It's traditionally a Sagittarius card, but some say Leo. Well, I mean, it just depends, so if you are a, a, a reader. Or if you [00:09:00] reading them for yourself is why, why I'm teaching you this so that you don't have to be dependent on tarot readers anyways. You can go to the Lord for yourself.

As the Bible says. A lot is cast, but it's every outcome, it's of the Lord. So when we flip through these hards, it's not a random thing. It is not. If you believe and you go in there with faith and you pray, you pray and you fast and you read in your Bible, what comes out on that table? What's supposed to come out on that table?

'cause a lot is cast, but it's every outcome is of the Lord. You have to believe now. And the Bible says you, you have to believe. You have to believe. But you know, if, if the Spirit is telling you, well, we're gonna go with Aries for the Knight of Wands 'cause that Knight is charging in perhaps to lead something new anyway, you're not confined like that.

So there's no sense in bickering or getting any kind of like constraints over say like how if a card [00:10:00] is associated with the sun or Mercury or, or, or Leo or Sagittarius or whatever, because God has like placed all of this in place for us to be even be able to access it and utilize it anyway, like astrology and everything like that.

And, and it works. And it is, and it is accurate and it, and there's a lot of power in astrology and in tarot, like in the zodiac, however, the Lord overrules, all of these things. And so when he gets ready he can guide us outside of whatever it is that the standard is. But we have to have a standard.

But the Lord will often remind us that he is in control, like say with karmic cycles and things like that child. Like, like, like you'll see like various readers say on YouTube sometimes all kind of say like the same thing, like we're in a karmic cycle or whatever. [00:11:00] They're not wrong. But what I'm trying to get you to understand and to make you aware of is that God could pull you into like a karmic cycle and do a whole review of your history.

When the planets don't say that, that should be happening. And when the cards don't say that it's happening either. Like when, when, when daddy gets ready, he can move and do whatever he wants to. So there ain't nothing wrong with going before the Lord through these different. Ways that we have, but also let us be sensitive in listening to God because he might not wanna wait till Mercury is retrograde or the sun trines Jupiter to, to hit you with a with a window from heaven open.

He might not want to do it. So we can look to the stars as directed by the Holy Ghost, but also be flexible because God might wanna move outside of these things that he might, and we gotta be ready. He just might. And you never know what Daddy's gonna do. Now. You can't get ahead of God and he's not [00:12:00] one that you can quantify and figure out like that.

Okay? We see he has a beauty in all of these things that he's given us all these stars and all of these and all that. The universe is a beautiful thing and it holds power because of the most high God. But the universe is not God. It is a, it is a beautiful thing he created and he set it into motion that we're gonna talk about all of, all of all of this when we get into these wands.

'cause I'm approaching these wands as the Holy Ghost is leading me from more of like a spiritual soul, sort of a journey, a sort of a, a thing, a quest for knowledge, a quest for enlightenment, a quest for truth, a quest for the most high, okay? Is, is the way this has been revealed to me that I was contemplating how to approach these wands cards.

It's about our quest for God, our quest for the truth. What is the meaning of life? Just to serve the most high God. Really just that simple. Why? Why did God, why did Jesus put you here? What does he want you to [00:13:00] do? That is your purpose. To have your, to have your relationship with God to treat people right And all of that.

And whatever your works are, whatever the gifts the Holy Ghost has put inside of you. And there could be all kinds of gifts from social media. You might be a metal worker, somebody who makes a beautiful jewelry. You might be a ghost writer who helps people write books. You might be a surf instructor that all gifts, you might be the sort of people who I was walking through New York the other day headed here through the Upper East Side where I live and, and somebody, or some people, or maybe it's a community, I don't know, took like locks, like, like a luggage, luggage size, like little padlock type things and made like a heart shaped thing that said like Love New York.

And it was a bunch of combination locks. And this beautiful, like display, things like that might look little, but we are like made of poetry through the most high God. Really? We are though in the book of Genesis it says the [00:14:00] Lord spoke, he spoke and created all of this like spoken word.

We associate that with things like poetry. Okay? We're like literally walking poetry God spoke us, into being and all of these things like that. And mm-hmm. And and it, and it's just a beautiful thing. So even like art projects like that, that pop up is beauty. This, this demonstrates to us the beauty of the most high. And in all of these different ways that we see him, so let us not limit God. Let us not cage him. Let us set him free in his own creation and accept him how he is, and then strive to [00:15:00] let let him open our eyes. Let us let him open our eyes to see. The beauty that is for us is if you really, really slow down and really get quiet and stay before God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, they will show you the beauty you have been missing.

That's, that's written all over the face of this world. Okay? It's and it's all over all of his creation. But you have to don't just, it's not just beautiful, but you have to be like, where is God in this? Where is God in this? And then it becomes beautiful in a way that I am not like allowed to tell you when you bother to invite God into everything you talking about beauty.

Woo.

God is, God is beautiful. Yahweh is beautiful, like the one true living God. His beauty is unmatched. It is unparalleled. [00:16:00] And it, and it is not the sort of thing that can be measured or described. It is like, it is just I he just is that way. And I mean, and, and

let me just get into these cards because some things just can't be, I just things. It is what it is.

I'm gonna read this like, I wrote this personally, but I'm gonna read this about like this, this brief description of the suit of W. So the suit, this suit deals with the pure energy it takes to get through life, which begins with a divine spark, which God gives us at the very beginning of our existence, or at the beginning of a new endeavor, a new idea, et cetera.

This suit follows through and encompasses victories and challenges and encountered along the way. And it wraps up with a more evolved [00:17:00] version of yourself, which we see in the court cards at the end, the court card of the page, the Knight of the Queen and the king, and the non court cards will go from the ace of wands through to the through to through to the 10 of wands.

This is about your soul essence and how you stand before the most high God from his fire, and that spark that he put within you and your relationship from this springs forth and informs all your other actions and everything else that you do.

Our spirituality or someone's choice of a lack thereof is an overarching theme, which affects everything that we do. Therefore what someone believes in this regard is absolutely paramount to their existence. It must be taken into the utmost consideration when contemplating personal and close relationships.

Business relationships is an entirely different approach because I'm gonna quote the the Old Guard 2, which is playing on Netflix right [00:18:00] now, which I absolutely love. But to quote the Old Guard 2, sometimes loosely, now we have to, sometimes we have to work with people we won't eat with. Let's say that again.

Sometimes we have to work with people we won't eat with. Sometimes we have to work with people we won't eat with, okay?

And that, that ends the part that I had written. Our close relationships are a really, really big deal to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. 'cause as you are around people and you communicate with people in all the ways that we do be the electronic in person or whatever, it's like we rub off on each other.

Like you affect each other. Association brings on assimilation and that is why you pick up habits and ways and all kinds of things you might not be aware of spiritually from people. And so to misalign yourself, say with somebody who [00:19:00] could care less about the afterlife and, and you think you're gonna stand for a judgment, as I have spoken in previous episodes, ain't smart.

'cause like I'm telling you, our spiritual beliefs, overarch, everything else that we do does not matter who you are. You are basically a soul running around here with this thin veneer of skin. But basically you're a soul. And so what you believe, whether you believe and you love Jesus Christ, or you despise him, all of that matters that we gotta be careful who we let get close to us.

And do not align yourself closely with somebody who could care less about your spiritual beliefs. It is a misalignment. It is the type of thing that might not hurt you today, but it's like in the long run that that sort of thing can reveal in incongruencies to the point that it can end in divorce and all kinds of bad friendships breaking up.

And sometimes it's like when the heat gets on [00:20:00] and you gotta rely on your faith or lack thereof. Two people in a relationship, one person praying to Jesus Christ and another one praying to Buddha. That might be cute for a hot second if it ever was at all. But you have to understand like the very rhetoric of like any religion that is not for Jesus Christ is against Christ.

So why would you do that? And then you're gonna have children and you're gonna have, like, I'd have to explain like, well if I would've hoped that you would bother to explain this to them. And so like spirituality to them. But I could not have a partner who's not for the Lord and then raise children with one of us praising Jesus and another one in a religion that could care less about Jesus.

That is confusion and Jesus Christ, not the author of confusion. So let me get off my tangent and get onto our first card here until the way this is gonna work. [00:21:00] I'm gonna show you the card, give you the zodiac sign, the modality and the, the planet. Again, I covered the modalities, the planets, and so many things in previous episodes.

So this is, so we'll kind of like touch on that. Maybe you might wanna go back and take a look at those to get more of a breakdown of it. So, so the Ace of Wands is what we're going to start with, and I'm using the original Waite Smith deck just because it's a good springboard for it. And they have like little Christian symbols through the, throughout the wait Smith deck too as well, which is very, very fascinating to me because, because as many readers that I have seen in wives, not everybody points out like the Holy Ghost being like the dove on say like the Ace of Cups or different things like that.

Some people seem to disassociate tarot with Jesus Christ, but when you read through the history and stuff like that, it really just depends. You, [00:22:00] you God created everything. If you want him there, he can be there. If you wanna kick him out, then that's your choice too. But this is not mutually exclusive from the most high God and Jesus Christ.

No it ain't. Then the Holy Ghost being the comforter said she will teach us all things. Okay? She is the, the, she is the grand teacher, so and so. So anyway, the, the, the Ace of Wands. The zodiac sign here is Aries. The modality is cardinal, meaning that it happens at the beginning of spring. And the planet associated with Aries and with the Ace of Wands is Mars.

So the Ace of Wands, and I'm reading from Astro style when I read these descriptions, the Ace of Wands marks an opportunity to take action on a new quest. Is energy flowing around a new project or connection? This minor arcana cards specifically represents a new beginning that requires a [00:23:00]bold action instead of energy flowing, I would say, is this the Holy Ghost stirring a about this?

Like, is the spirit speaking to me, dealing with me Uhhuh, because I want y'all to get more specific. Instead of just saying energy or spirit, like what energy, what spirit is talking to you? What is it? What is the name of it? There are many spirits and all kinds of energies, but it's not random. Like it's coming from somewhere like a sentient being with a name.

Are you dealing with Lucifer? You dealing with Jesus Christ? Are you dealing with some, some of the, I don't know, millions seems like of other deities out there who's talking to you? What is dealing with you? And so I, I dismiss this notion of vague spirituality. So concepts like energy intuition and different vague things like that.

And just spirit, like which spirit is dealing with you. So let me continue. Are [00:24:00] there dreams or some type of specific communication about this bold in this relationship here when this is saying like, bold action is required, now bold is gonna be relative to you or to the project or situation at hand. So don't necessarily think it has to be like a big, huge overture, like maybe something different, like might be as simply different as the well simply is the quote unquote simple, like the complete opposite direction in what you've been traveling in.

So a bold action might not be like I know signing a new multimillion dollar contract. Maybe for you it might be buying a scale so you can start to keep track of your weight. Maybe it might be dismissing a relative, maybe it might be starting a new fitness routine. Maybe simple things [00:25:00] like that might be bold for some people it might not look like much for another.

So when things like this, say, bold action is required, it's relative to you something that you're not accustomed to. Something that takes some bravery, something that would stand out, something that you've not done before.

And remember, like I said earlier we, we, we cast all manner of lots, but any increase that we get is of the Lord and the lots, every outcome is of the Lord. Like the Bible says, one plants, one waters, but only God can give the increase. Okay? As a, as a gardener child, I have planted many things. I plant and water and all of that.

But they know fruit will come on that vine till God get ready for it too. So we, so what might casting loss or planting a seed look like? Submitting a resume for a new job. Literally planting a garden, [00:26:00] working out, trying to eat healthy,

trying to have children, trying to get pregnant when having children whatever it is that you want or desire you get your results and, and you'll say like, I did that Your friends would even congratulate you and say the same. Good job on you for doing that. Well, you did your part. 'cause God is very interested in partnering with us.

Absolutely. But don't forget that any tangible, quantifiable, measurable result that you get is of the most high God. So while you're taking all your congratulations and things like that, be sure that you lift up a hand and tell the Lord Jesus, thank you for allowing me to have this benefit. And by the way, I give it right back to you and lay it at your feet Also.

And take the time to invite Jesus and God into like your celebrations. You go out to celebrate a new job say a prayer. Lord, I thank [00:27:00] you for this job. I would like to invite you to the celebration, whatever the case might be. Like, just make it real. You see this big old hand on this card coming out the hold this wand that is the hand of Almighty God giving you the strength to have initiative and boldness and that spark this could be like a whole new idea.

The Bible talks about new ideas and witty inventions, things that you didn't even think of before. You've seen it. Some of these ideas have made people a fortune, some of it, and some, some of these ideas have given people peace. Things that you haven't thought of before. Just maybe if I just change that one thing it, it, it helps you.

This morning I was trimming like my cuticles trying to get my hands right and everything, but it was a new, I had ordered a new thing 'cause I felt like the spirit was really, really pushing me on Amazon to get this cute little set for like, like $8. This very sturdy and stainless steal.

The other ones I [00:28:00] had had for a while. And I'm not sure they were ever really all that great or I just didn't have the, the steadiness within me to sit down and focus on it. But it worked so quick and so easy and it saved me so much time and so much stress. And not to mention money and everything like that, 'cause I could do my nails myself, but it was a, that spark of an idea to, to to just try to upgrade like my, my cuticle and, and cuticle is really was a whole new cuticle set thing that I had got.

And it was so much peace that it was so much easier to deal with and, and everything, the cuticles came off so easy. And that's just like a relatively like, kind of like small example, but you'd be surprised at how little things like that might gnaw at your peace if you have a lot of it throughout the day.

A little thing like that, a little thing like that aggravates you and then by the end of the day you're exhausted. But then what God and Christ will come in and do is give you new ideas and witty [00:29:00]inventions. Okay? There's spark here to help you have more peace. And then overall over time as they relax you more and you're start.

And you stop letting these little things worry you and vex you, then you'll find that you come to like more of a sum total of like a resonance of like placidity, of like peacefulness within you. And then your life gets better because you make decisions from a place of peace and not like subtle anxiety.

So aside from the peace that Christ can give you, which transcends all understanding. 'cause the Bible says the peace of God transcends all understanding, transcends all understanding. Doesn't that sound lovely? There's also you starting out on like your soul journey, to find enlightenment to understand God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, to see what it's all about.

What, what is it? What is this universe? What is this spirit world? Where did I come from? Where am I going when I leave here? This is starting a [00:30:00] spiritual journey. The spark of that idea to even much consider your creator, your makeup and all of that. Let's even think about it, starts here at the Ace of Wands,

which then brings us to the two of Wands. Two of wands.

You think he is looking like he got the whole world in his hands and everything in this, in this beautiful card. I love, love the use of the red robes in this card. It's so fiery. It's so fiery. The zodiac sign here is Aries again. The modality is cardinal beginning, starting at the beginning of spring. The planet associated here is Mars.

The two of Wands tarot card can present itself when you feel discontent or restless. Although you want clarity and purpose with a vexing situation, you are struggling with indecision. As you weigh multiple [00:31:00] options, it can help to focus on your long-term goals. That way you can align your choice with your desired future and begin to form a plan.

I like how Astro style talked to this about like a card of decision because the two's do come up that way, like an either or sort of thing. Well, let's take that to like a spiritual way. Am I gonna believe in God or not? I was taught that, that God is a universe. But, but I'm hearing this man here who's who, who, who is a prophet of the most high God telling you that God told you that He to tell, told him to tell you he's not the universe.

So now you have another decision to make. Am I gonna keep with this universe rhetoric 'cause everybody in the community around you seems to be doing it. Or am I gonna really slow down and consider and maybe go on a new journey of exploration and see just what this God, Jesus Christ in the Holy Ghost business is all [00:32:00] about?

What am I gonna believe? Am I gonna believe in nothing? Some people have decided that this could be a, is there anything after life or is there nothing? Is the earth gonna be my God or what, what, what, what is, what will be my spiritual guiding point? Who is gonna be my spiritual guiding light? What do I believe in? What do I believe sets my whole purpose for existence in order Is the decision being made here?

And look, you might have to leave everything and everyone behind, or you might not, or some varying degree of in between. Or you might have to leave most people behind. It just depends. But. You don't sacrifice your spiritual clarity over no body. And you have to be careful about that. 'cause in the Bible Jesus and his parables was teaching his disciples about the parable and the people about the parable of like the tares that [00:33:00] Lucifer sowed amongst the world.

And, and Christ said, those tares are like the children of the devil. Okay? It just is what it is. There's people who are just flat out evil. It's just what it is to it. And there's people who just do not love the Lord child. And, and what Christ was telling them is that people can literally cause you to forfeit your afterlife.

Okay? Your peace in this life and all kinds of things, you have to be careful. So if you have to cut people off and don't turn back, then that's just what you do then. That's just what it is too. It now you might have to go to some counseling and God will come and help and heal your heart, of course, but it, it means everything to him.

If you understand that somebody's gonna throw you out of alignment spiritually and all of that, and you let that person go. 'cause you can't force nobody to believe like you. And this mixing of faiths and deities is unwise. We can mix on a lot of things, but we all stand as a one before the most high God, okay?

We all [00:34:00] stand at, when we start our journeys independently, we end them that way. Now, we mix with people throughout our existence, but we start, we come into the world alone. We leave that way. We have to stand before the Lord with individual accountability. I'm telling you, individual accountability.

We are not one, but we are separate people. We have a lot in common and we work together, but we stand individually before the Ancient of Days. Each one of us does. And that's just what it is to it. And so when contemplating this, this, this Two of Wands card here I was also some music came, came to my mind because when, when, when we, when, when, when this, when this person here sets out on this journey to find Jesus, to, to understand God, okay?

Basically what we're looking for is the perfect beat. So that song looking for the Perfect beat, [00:35:00]which was written by Afrika Bambaata and Soulsonic Force. It is one of the things that Holy Ghost brought up to me, and I want to read to you a little bit about Afrika Bambaataa. In case you don't know, Afrika Bambaataa is a retired, and this is from Wikipedia.

This is from Wikipedia. He is a retired American dj, rapper and record producer. He is notable for releasing a series of genre defining electro tracks in the 1980s that influenced the development of hip hop culture Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of Breakbeat DJing through his co-opting of his street gang, black Spades into the music and culture oriented organization universal Zulu nation.

He has helped spread hip hop culture throughout the world. And I'm pretty sure this dude had his story around like the Bronx or up in New York, up here in New York somewhere. And [00:36:00] and so as New Yorkers is an incredible city, it just really, really is though. And so

I understand his universal Zulu nation and everything like that. Which, which, which seems to be to know quite positive minded organization and what they're talking about in here. The way the Holy Ghost has given this to me is, is, is is what you're really looking for, is the Lord. It is like the perfect beat.

The perfect beat. 'cause like, like the lyrics say universal people looking for the perfect beat. Okay? You're not, you're not only looking for like that rhythm that only God can put into your life, but you're looking for God himself. This is that thing that like, like we Universal people that this song is talking about have been looking for this perfect beat.[00:37:00]

So we don't just want the perfect beat, but we want the creator of the perfect beat as well. And so we wanna be careful that we don't fall into that trap of what the scripture warns us about worshiping the creature and not the creator. So it's okay for us to go out to these clubs and to, and these break beats

and all of this techno and this house music. I have not heard music like this before. Anywhere that I have been in my life, New York City, the Lord has put a high like dose of his Holy Ghost here on these grounds to stir up this level of creativity over these decades with these people. It's not just because magic happens in New York.

Randomly, God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost have been at work in this city for a long time spawning artists in all, all manner of beautiful works artists over various genre, from painting to photography, to music, to producers, to DJing, to whatever it might [00:38:00] be, however you might consider art that has been God, Jesus Christ, and the Shekinah Glory.

Okay. Doing those things. And it is, it is not just random and I really, really want people to not miss the true power of New York City, which is God, which is all of these things that come out of this city that almost two years that I have been here, oh my God, it's been almost two years. Wow. It's been almost two years.

Come this October, Jesus, since I've, I've, since I have been here in New York, but babay like this, this sort of like, all these things going on in New York and all these things that just happen here ain't random. This is the Lord talking to you and dealing with you. But that perfect beat is God. God is the perfection of everything.

Whatever it is that is good and wholesome, the it ends at him, it ends at Yahweh. Okay? And that's just the way that that is. And,

and then the [00:39:00] lyric. Go on and say all the world's nations looking for the perfect beat. It says, keep looking for the perfect beat, and it will help you reach your peak. So basically what Africa, Bamba and so, so and so, Soulsonic Force is saying they're giving God glory. Keep looking for the perfect beat and it will help you reach your peak, basically saying, if you find the Lord do you, whatever, the best that you can do in anything and within yourself is how you do it, is when you find that perfect beat, that perfect beat is Jesus Christ.

It's not, it's not. Like, it's not like anything else. And and, and I encourage you to, to step out on this journey and to seek and to consider all that you have been told and all that you have seen and don't. And when we go to these house clubs, bruh, and everything like that, and, and that music has a magic to it.

And when I say magic, I mean the [00:40:00] essence and the zest of the most high God. 'cause God is The Chief Magician. Everybody has magic in them. And all magic is, is your spiritual self. The ability to speak things that be not as though they were. And to, to, to pray and to fast and to meditate, to feel somebody's eyes on you and things like that.

And to sense things. It's all from Yahweh. It's all from the Ancient of Days. And so, but music and the way, like, especially like this sort of like Breakbeat house music is y'all, when we be at these clubs? Do not miss the God that is in in this music. That is in this music. Do not miss him. Don't just enjoy it.

Seek your father. Invite him into your nights out at the club. If you're at home or wherever, walking down the street waiting for the train, God and Jesus Christ. And the Holy Ghost ain't picky about how you invite them in. They just want to be invited in. So if you're gonna start this whole journey, take the Lord along with you, as the old folks used to say in church growing up, everywhere you go, [00:41:00]you go need him on the road, on your spiritual journeys, on the trains, wherever it is at the club, especially at the nightclub.

with all the evil witches running around trying to witch you and yank your energy outta you and stuff like that, and you don't know. Mm-hmm. You better take the Lord long with you everywhere you go. Another song

Which is called Save My Soul by Afrojack, Steve Aoki. And, and Be patient with me with this name. It is like Tzvetin Todorov. It's spelled T-Z-V-E-T-I-N is the first name. Todorov featuring Jordan Grace. That song Save My Soul. Oh my God. Ha when you setting out on your soul journey, what you're looking for is salvation.

You're looking for peace within your soul that you know when you participate in existence, that you're not gonna go to hell. That you're gonna [00:42:00] go on to be with the Lord. And so will we ever be with the Lord and have peace and, and just joy and the Holy Ghost for all of eternity. And that is a thing. But the lyrics in here quote Philippians chapter three and verse 13 from the New Testament, but the, the, the the, the lyrics say Eyes on the prize like you could be mine, A perfect motivation that scripture says, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling, which is in Christ Jesus. I was listening to a commentary from the dj, Bakermat.

I don't have favorite DJs or anything like that 'cause I'm more interested in the way God uses them. I got nothing against DJs obviously, but I'm just not like a, like a DJ fly. I don't fly around following DJs. I like, I like follow, I like listen for God in the music. And then I don't care who's playing it.

And I, and I try to find my daddy in, in [00:43:00] these lyrics, in these different anthems. And that is how I gravitate towards sound. And but Bakermat is like, might have been the first person that I heard and infused gospel and house music together. And he had done this come he, he gotten permission from LaShun Pace to do I think it ain't nobody but me Lord.

And I'm calling on your name. He's done several actually. And and he was talking about like just how complimentary gospel music is to house music. It really, really is though. And, and when I got here to New York, I just kept listening to this music and I was like, what is that sound? Why does it sound so familiar?

I was not listening to gospel house music. I was listening to just to like regular house music that was not specifically stating Christ, but that spirit of God, when the spirit of God is in something, it does not matter if it's stating it. 'cause God is in [00:44:00] everything is very pronounced in this house music though, and, and a lot.

And so. Then I said, that's the Holy Ghost. And I re recorded and released that episode. That's, that's called the Magick of New York City. Because I kept finding and feeling God in so many things out here, the entrepreneurial spirit, like the street vendors selling the veggies and stuff that they like never show in the movies in Manhattan, like the cheapest vegetables like ever are in Manhattan, like on the corner, like everywhere you go.

And so, but gospel music and house music are complimentary. They go hand in hand. And for him have been granted like flesh and blood did not reveal that to him. That was God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost letting that man know to put them two things together. They work well. And a good house club playing some good music can feel like church.

And they don't even have to say God in the music because God is beyond words. You can't limit him to words. He could be described through sound, through tonality, through all kinds of things. That's how [00:45:00] beautiful Yahweh is. Okay. The most high God is beautiful. Okay. He's beautiful. And unsearchable beautiful.

Unquantifiable beautiful. You just gotta like experience it. So I have written like so much music and so, and, and like songs come to me like in my sleep and I wake up with these melodies and with these lyrics and things like that. And I really hope and pray one day I have the opportunity to collaborate and to deal with like a, like releasing a lot of like house gospel tracks and things like that.

That is so my vibe, oh my God, that is my vibe. And it is like, it is just so like powerful when it comes together. And the way the, the, the club shifts, if they were to play something that's specifically like Gospel House and things like that and woo, we you can't, and I have caught the Holy Ghost into the club child [00:46:00] and I have seen other people get filled with the Holy Ghost and in the nightclub baby.

Okay, you can't tell me what God can't do. And he's not limited to no church. Nobody's denomination religion or whatever you're trying to call it. They are free and they will go wherever they want to and deal with whoever they want to however they want to. And you can't limit the most high God child. And so.

Shoot. Jesus Christ spent three days in hell. He can walk into any nightclub, into a witch coven or whatever, and rearrange the furniture if he feels like it. And none can stand against the Lord and none can deliver you from his hands either. And so but that song Child, the lyrics say, would you mind saving my soul?

This song Save My Soul by Afrojack and Crew? It's like a, when it's like that many people like Afrojack, et cetera, beautiful artwork too on that. My God, would you mind saving my [00:47:00] soul? That speaks of salvation? Would you mind saving my soul? You see how a song can talk about God without really saying it?

Beautiful. The next lyrics say, while you're shining like gold? Tha't talking about the Lamb of God. It's talking about Jesus Christ in the Bible, the couple of times it mentions him shining in his glory, the amount of transfiguration when he shows up to deal with John on the aisle of Patmos, in the Book of Revelation and things like that, it says, would you mind saving my soul?

Lord, would you mind my Lord? While you shining like gold, sitting there looking all, all beautiful and glorious and perfect and things, okay? This is the Trinity. This is Jesus Christ. This is Yeshua this is Yahweh This is the Ancient of Days, y'all. And so what I'm trying to get you to understand through this here is that y'all really been rocking with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost this whole time.

You just didn't realize it. And God is waiting on your acknowledgement of [00:48:00] him. God is patient and he waits. He ain't asked things of us. I have learned in walking with the Lord. He, he asked things of us that He has demonstrated himself. He patiently waits for us to get our shit together and actually act like he exists and actually come after him seriously.

He waits on love and acknowledgement for us, for us to nod in his direction while he gives us things all the time. Sunlight, moonlight, astrology, magical power to use and all kinds of things. And he waits for us to come and bring it back to him and be like, thanks. Now can we share this? Would you mind stopping by to my house or wherever I might be, or walking with me through the park?

You've created this whole world. Shall we go for a jog together? Jesus. Just be very private thing. This is nothing that would make you look insane or nothing like that. This is your internal musings and conversation with the most high now. [00:49:00] But this song is so beautifully written by Afro Jack and Crew.

Save my Soul. Oh and this is, I mean, I just don't want y'all to miss how God is staring you right in the face and talking to you and go and jam to a song like this and miss the Jesus Christ. That's that's right in the middle of it. And this is why God sends his teachers, his preachers and his prophets to clarify, to edify the church and to be able to see these things and decode these messages.

The gift of prophecy. One of its most powerful tenets is to be used for the edification of the church, which is to help you right here and right now. There's all the elements to it past, present sight and all of that. But we gotta deal with you right now. Those of us with a gift of prophecy gotta help you like right now.

And this is one of those ways, man, to be able to go through and break a song down like this and give you messages from the Ancient of Days is prophecy. [00:50:00] And this is helping you to understand, listen to this music set out on your journey. Take the Lord along with you, put your headphones on while you do it, and you can like rock and jam and get to know the Lord while you pray fast and read your Bible.

And it's a whole ass good time. It's not boring, not following the Lord. No it's not. You gotta do it the way you and Yahweh work out. You gotta go before the Lord and see how your journey with the Lord is gonna look for you. 'cause this journey right here is independent. We will meet and encounter people along the way.

But we are always individually before the Ancient of Days. Who is the most high God and Yahweh is the God of the Hebrews made accessible to the entire world through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. That is how it goes. The Holy Ghost came down in more of a full form like that because she was here.

You see her in the Old Testament anyway, but more of a full form when Jesus ascended after he rose up from the dead after his crucifixion. [00:51:00] So here we have the, the power of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost to help us. And before I move on to the Three of Wands. A third song is one by Lighthouse family that I'm not gonna give, get into, I'm gonna give you, that is homework.

'cause a good teacher always gives homework. 'cause I can't hold your hand and do everything for you. Now, I would not want to to, to harm you in that way. I can't do it all for you, even though I want to, I have to tame myself and let you go and find some things on your own. And the Lord will keep you from falling as you stumble trying to walk.

Even if you have to crawl first, you crawl to Jesus and he will pick you up on your feet at the appointed time. So Lighthouse Family made this song called Question of Faith.

Ooh, what does he say? I believe in honesty, [00:52:00] how do you prove what you can't see? Well, it's a question of faith. Some of the lyrics from that song, I'm not gonna give you like the whole breakdown. You find like the full version of it. It's like an almost seven minute song. They took their good sweet time, their good sweet time with it, as you should when you're dealing with these types of things here.

And so Lighthouse Family is the artist who wrote that song called Question of Faith. Mm-hmm. And it's more of like a laid back, like on, on like on my public playlist @DeVannonSeraphino And my Apple playlist is on my, I have a playlist called NYC Chill. I believe I have it there. Kind of like this more a laid back vibey housey type style music like that, that I would use, like when I'm coming down from LSD or something like that.

And so so Lighthouse family Question of Faith is, so let's rock on onto these three of wands [00:53:00]here.
