Episode #200: Tarot Lessons: The Suit of Wands Pt. 2

De'Vannon Seráphino: [00:00:00] Let's see. I love this, this, this high yellow heat from like, would be like the sun, along with the red robes. He's standing on like the, what looks like desert sands in there. I love the desert. I am a desert rat.

I love, I love being in the city, but I tell you, if, if I ever have a chance to live out west, I'll take it. I love, I love the sands, the dunes and all of those sort of things. The heat of it all never bothered me when I was in the military. Man. I love the desert. I really, really do. So in this three of wands,

this is more like the journey's about to begin. The two of wands can also be kind of like a planning phase. Once you have decided, Hey, I'm gonna go take on this earthly endeavor, I'm gonna go take on my spiritual journey to go follow the Lord. What we gotta plan for it. Okay? We're gonna [00:01:00]pray fast. Read our Bible.

That's like your trinity before the Trinity, so to speak. Prayer, fasting, and Bible study is like you're a holy trinity of your vitamins. You gotta take, and there's also God's love language too. He loves you to communicate, to him through those things. So we have our three here. We have God, Jesus Christ, we got the Holy Ghost, we got prayer, fasting, Bible study.

We got all our threes working with us right now. Hmm. And this morning in my dreams when I was getting I'm recording this now, like I saw a thousand miles in my, in my dreams, in my sleep overnight or this morning or whatever. And so so, so I was considering this and, and researching it.

And then I came across this quote from Lao Sue, which says, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a, begins with a single step. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And this is what the Holy Ghost was showing me about this about this three of wands [00:02:00] here. Now we done done our planning.

We've taken that spark from the Ace of Wands, which is God waking you up about something and shaking you up and saying, Hey, you need to head in this direction. And the two of wands, you decided which direction you're going head in and you've established a plan to do it. When there's three of ones, we're gonna take that first step and see how things play out before the Trinity, okay?

Even before the Ancient of Days. That beautiful one I keep bragging to you about. And the scripture says, let all who glory, glory in the Lord. And the Bible says, I can make my boast in the Lord. And I do boast in the most high God. I brag on God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost constantly. And I brag on God Almighty constantly because God has been good to me.

Who we, especially if you followed this show for these, what, four years now that we've had it. You've seen the highs and the lows and everything like that, and you can't disagree that God has been good to De'Vannon Seráphino. Oh yes, he has. [00:03:00] Oh yes, he has though. The Zodiac sign here again is Aries which makes sense as we're starting.

Aries has to do with a lot of initiation energy. Now it's the first sign of the zodiac. It starts at the beginning of spring and making it a cardinal sign and its modality. The planet is Mars. Mars is a very, like, well, some associated with like chaos and things like that is a very action packed kind of, kind of like planet in its energetic signature, which Yahweh and Christ and the Holy Ghost have put upon it.

So let me read from, from Astro style here. When you see this card in a spread, you could feel assured that the situation you asked about is heading in a promising direction. This card is a sign of steady progress. The appearance of the three of wands in a reading is not only a positive indication for where you are, but for where you're going in the future.

You've done the work to put a strong foundation in place. This baseline [00:04:00] will serve you well as you build momentum and move ahead. This minor arcana card can also have a connection with travel, international adventure, or long distance relationships. Minor arcana is in any suit, is ace through King. The major arcana is gonna be like the fool through the world.

As I stated earlier you, this is representative of the Trinity to me, in deciding to step out on our journey to understand God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, okay, what are we gonna do? How is it gonna be physically? It can represent starting a new business, going to school, literally taking a trip around the world.

It can't indicate physical travel. Could be the journey of parenthood, the journey of a new relationship, all manner of things, of journeys that one might take. But we're focusing on the Holy Ghost now this time around here. But see, [00:05:00] but see, every journey ends at the Ancient of Days life. Starting off with life.

We die, we still look at our father in heaven. You can't get away from God. So you might as well relax with that and learn his ways and yield to the Almighty 'cause. It's easier existence. Don't you see how happy I am, because I yield to God, Jesus Christ, and the holy goes, it's easy. It's really easy. And so I.

And yeah. And it does not matter, even like how alpha male I might feel, you know you know, Jesus Christ is the ultimate alpha male. He is our biggest brother also and so everything has to lay at his feet. It does not matter. And he could help you or be like even a better alpha male if you trust him with your masculinity, which I do.

Everything I learned about being a man, I learned from God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. I really, really have. And so, yeah, it is what it is because the [00:06:00] Trinity started all things, everything has to end with them, and and so this card gives me like a very, like a full circle feel.

We come out from the father, make whatever decisions we are about this life and everything like that. Like, I like, like, like, like the Trinity, I was told like in the spirit like I chose to be like Sagittarius and Scorpio. Scorpio is like my is the other prevalent sign in my chart besides Sagittarius, which is like kind of, they have a lot of like pulling in opposite directions with them, sort of a thing.

You got Pluto, you got Jupiter and all of that. But I was in the spirit and I was told that I chose that. Though, that, that opposing like energy, like that Scorpio was like my moon sign. Sagittarius, my sun sign, Capricorn, no, Capricorn. I, no, Capricorn is my [00:07:00] moon sign. Scorpio is my ascendant sign and Sagittarius is my sun sign.

So but apparently I chose this and everything like that. So we leave from Yahweh whatever choices and decisions agreements are made, we come here, we handle business, and we go back with our report and with our receipts, with a full report and our receipts, okay? A full report to Jesus Christ about what we done, done down here in his garden with all the time, with the energy, with our resources and everything you packed.

You got your resources and everything from the Lord, you come down here, this journey's gonna end one day. That's in the four of wands so to speak like that. Then we gotta come on back and talk about what we'd done, done and why you have to give an account for, for our journey now. Now. And so this has to do with like knowledge [00:08:00] seeking, trying to figure it out.

But all searching and all knowledge seems to have like an end though type of a thing. So we gotta be careful of like, let's say like overreach, especially when it comes to like spiritual knowledge. See what, after a point, whatever God tells you is what's final and beyond that, you shall proceed no further and you gotta be satisfied with God and be satisfied with what he tells you.

And even if you find that you might struggle with your curiosity, getting the better of you and this is this is really for those of us who really spend a lot of time on spiritual subject matter and trying to contemplate what is there like that, like at a high level now, if we find our curiosity getting the better of us, we gotta pray and tell God about it so that he can tone us down.

Because after a point we just not gonna get no further. Everything really stops and ends at God. Okay? Now, he might reveal a lot to [00:09:00] us, but we gotta mind our curiosities that they, they don't become inappropriate, okay? With the things we're trying to poke around in spiritually. Okay? Those of you who know and know what I'm trying to tell you about, tone it down when the time comes and let Yahweh and Jesus Christ settle you so that we don't poke out, get to poking around too far in things, okay?

Because see, like true enlightenment and like ascension, as people talk about enlightenment, ascending waking up okay, is about like a growing awareness. Like your original state, kind of like a sort of thing like that in a way before you came to Earth. It's like, it's almost feels to me like, like, like,

like, well, like my personal veil I'll say like you, like, it's like my personal veil has [00:10:00] gotten thinner as I have grown in the Lord. And I have been granted more awareness of the most high in the things that be of God. And a truer understanding of who I am, well as a celestial being. So like, as you grow and this whole awakening thing was really happening is like, well more of like your flesh is being peeled away from you and kind of burned off and like more of your divinity is sprouting forward

as you as you learn more and you get closer to God and he reveals more of himself to you and you get spiritual growth and then that's where the enlightenment comes in. But see, it's all relationship based now. So we, we, you, we have to be careful about this idea of wanting to go grab knowledge and power without a relationship with the creator that it came, that it came from.

A lot of people will teach enlightenment, ascension, all of this, but fail you in the [00:11:00] area of highlighting the relationship aspect of it. We have to have a relationship. This ain't like going to school, pick up a textbook and you could care less about the professor, not about that to learn this sort of thing.

You're talking about celestial knowledge here. True knowledge of the other worlds that are out there, spiritual worlds, things like that and all of that. You're talking about getting knowledge from God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost directly. And they are relationship based beings, the original beings, the ones who created relationships and love and all of that.

And all of those things, it's like, thank you is you gotta get a relationship with them to really be taught this type of thing and not let Lucifer come and drag you down a path of 'cause you starting off on this journey, don't be deceived. You're gonna have devils and all kinds of evil come and try to try to deal with you and try to fuck you [00:12:00] up.

But the, like in the book a Proverbs, it tells you to turn not to the left hand or to the right. To keep your eyes in your head and the focus and to walk forward when you're on these, on this journey here, which is this journey of your existence child. And so if you don't take God, Jesus Christ, and the holy goes with you as like your, as your northern light, as your guiding light, any type of deity or spirit can come along and swift you away and try to tell you that it put you on that path or that it, that it created you.

You better be careful with that rhetoric, okay? Telling you, God made you not these other little beings and stuff like that. We're gonna talk about creation here in a minute. It is relationship based. You've gotta get to know the Lord in order to understand from whence you have come. It's not just enough feeling like you came from stardust or from the cosmos or whatever.

It's far deeper than that. And [00:13:00] and it's also about a relationship with yourself. In order for you to really understand yourself, you have got to understand God better than what you do. And then this knowledge when it comes, has to be used in service of the Lord. One of the things that really irks my fucking nerves about the study of enlightenment and ascension and all of these things, is that people seem to want to grow and ascend and things like that, and even pull their experiences from past lives just for the sake of them being better.

But I don't really ever hear anybody say, and how shall I be of service unto the most high God with all of this experience from these past lives, with all this awakening and all of this sensitivity and the way I can hear these spirits and deal with this or whatever how can I take and lay at the feet of Jesus Christ and be like, how, what service shall I render unto my prince, unto my champion, unto my king, unto my ruler, unto my Lord?

Okay, how shall I be of [00:14:00] service? And then sit there and wait for them to tell you when they're ready to sort of thing. And so, while you're working, doing all, to do, but we gotta always be going back to the Trinity and be like, how shall I be of service now? What next Lord gimme another mountain?

Sort of thing like that. And, so, so let me just, just be on that. So I saw on the news like the other day about how stardust, like they found stardust that they're saying is like older than our sun And this reporter feel the reporter, she chimed off that, that, that, that, that segment part of it was like, and this, that made her feel like that we are all made of stardust.

I disagree with her child. God made us because what She's, but what, what I'm trying to get y'all to understand, God made us, God made the stars and we might be made of stardust us,[00:15:00]

but why do we, but why, but why do we, why do we like, have to be made of something like tangible that you could put like your hands on and stuff like that. It's like, it's like y'all keep running from God. God told you in the book of Genesis how all of this started in the book of Genesis. The earth is already here.

There ain't no telling what all God did not have before this galaxy or universe. That's, God is not called the Ancient of Days for no reason. He every, he just always was. And so he could have had all kinds of whatever out there. There could be greater and more vast things than a universe or a galaxy or a multiverse.

There is no limit on what God could have had here before this universe. So I ain't surprised if they're saying they found stardust. 'cause not everything revolves around us or this solar system or whatever the case might be, God done been marinating. He just always was. [00:16:00] Everything's about him. It's not about us.

And so, and with all his vastness, you know what God really yearns for is a personal relationship with each of you, with all his power and might he can do anything he wants to, and he, he wants to love you. It's like, so like this is where we get it from. Do you ever think about how, like with all of our accomplishments and all of our achievements, degrees, money, clout, all the things, all the books we've written, the songs we've produced, all the money, we've made all the power, how we get in shape and want to be all this and all that.

Don't we trip over ourselves for like a cute little kitten? For like a pet or for a child? Just something that to nurture, to take care of or for something to love us in return. Where do you think we get that from? We get it from Yahweh. We are far more strong than say a canary or a goldfish or a cat or a little baby.

Look at [00:17:00] the, the hoops people jump through to have a child, even when they're physically not able to. And it seemed like God don't want them to have it. They'll go contrive ways scientifically to force it anyway. And I'm not condemning anything right now with that. It's something I have before the Lord about how when people don't have children when they go and do it anyway, they've been praying about like that.

Like that's a good idea? or should they not have done. That sort of thing. I don't know yet. I'm still praying about that. And God moves in mysterious ways. I just, I'm just curious. It's 'cause it's just, this has come up in my spirit lately to go before the Lord about that. And but look at what we're willing to do for a cat, for a pet. Spend thousands of dollars, all these things and go through all sorts of machinations.

This is from the most high God. This is how, this is an example [00:18:00] of how God loves us, okay? He has all power and He wants us, we have a lot of power compared to a, a, a, a, a fucking cat. Okay? Child. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my Felicity of my Felix and I. There's nobody better not ever try to harm them.

I wouldn't do anything. But I have ways now we go to go before the most high to get you dealt with since you try to threaten my children. And the Lord will deal with you if anybody tries to send harm towards Felicity, Cleopatra de Seráphino or Felíx de Katalino de Seráphino. Okay? My children should not be harmed in no way, okay?

By your evil or by your voodoo, or whatever it is you're trying to do. It shall return to you and you're gonna be dealt with by the Ancient of Days. And the Lord shall take you into his hands and none can deliver out of his hands. And [00:19:00] so. So let us take that example and really consider the personality of God Almighty and how the Bible says, the very hairs of our head are number child. God gives a fuck about us. Like he really, really loves us. Like in, in, in deeper than what can be quantified. Why, why? Christ said it like that. The very hairs of your head are numbered.

He trying to get you to understand that you are very valuable to the Lord. It was worth him sending his son here to die for you in all manner of things, y'all. And so don't let the, the hate and the not the anti love way, anti love and the all of that rhetoric, the abuse that you have received from people.

Don't, you don't, don't let that, don't let Lucifer cause you to paint that picture over Yahweh. God ain't like that. God did not do those things. And it's not for you to, don't get in the driver's seat and try to say what God should have done. Don't you do [00:20:00] that? Humble yourself and go to the Lord and gain an understanding.

Don't let anger and revenge and bitterness and unforgiveness inform anything. You will not win with that ever. So apply that to the Lord. Okay?

But she talking about how we're made from Stardust, this reporter and people be talking about this like, it's like y'all want to be a part of a cosmic force or something awesome. Or any, or something like that. You wanna be a part of the universe. I've heard people say we're made of the same thing as the universe maybe, but the same God that made the universe made us too.

So if he decided to put some sprinkles of stardust or galaxy ashes or whatever in us, that actually does not astound me. Like, that's not astonishing to me at all. The, the beautiful part is that God has loved us to create us and then to put the beautiful universe up there for us to study. But we weren't supposed to make an idol out of it.

And we were, we were [00:21:00] not supposed to get as ex more excited about being possibly made from pieces of the universe as opposed to being made by God. You know what I'm saying? And so. But, but the, but the stars did not make us, we did not come forth from the universe. But see, it is a physical thing. You can see stardust, you can see a star, a supernova, a black hole or whatever.

Therefore, it is not a spirit. God is a spirit. We are a spirit. I have sight, you, your, my eyes have to be opened by God to see a spirit. Okay? Like, or an angel or a devil or anything. I can't just do that. Like it has to be granted onto me so anybody can walk out the damn door and look up there and see the universe.

It is not a spirit. And therefore the universe did not create us. It is really just that simple. But the devil will trick you with things that are so simple when you get all emotional [00:22:00] and you try to reach past God and you get into a very silly area where you try to reach past God because you're gonna find nothing but confusion there.

And and so we were made of the spirit. Therefore, we of we are spirit. 'cause we're made by the Spirit. That spirit being God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. And therefore the universe did not make us. So it does not matter what they find out there. It's not our creator. It's another beautiful thing God put there for us to enjoy, to explore.

He has created jobs and revenue and all kinds of things. Science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. It's they, they, they have a certain intersectionality to them, and you gotta really go before the Lord to understand it and not get lost in the process of it. But it's all beautiful, but it's all Yahweh.

It's just so stress relieving and easier for me to understand that Yahweh started it all. Jesus Christ said, he is the [00:23:00] first begotten of the Father. And it goes from there. Anything else came from the Lord. It's really just that simple. It's just that easy. Y'all.

and keeping in that vein of how the Lord desires to love us and cherish us, and to bond with us just like I had gave that example of how we love our pets and children. We have all this money, these accomplishments and we want somebody to share all of this with now. And and we get that from the Lord.

He made the universe, the, the worlds, the realms and all of that. And he, he loves sharing it. You wouldn't want, like your pet or your child to grow up and worship like the pension you gave them, the house they live and the clothes that you put on their back and barely talk to them. You would not love that at all.

You, you've given all these things. You want a reciprocal relationship. In return, they get to keep the pension, the house and the money and all of that. But you want that relationship with that child first and foremost. This is the exact example [00:24:00] that the Heavenly Father has given onto us. This is where we get this desire from.

We are so like, God, if you really sit down and study the Lord, now you really have to study him now and study him and get close to him and pray fast and read your Bible. You can't skimm through the Bible and claim to know God. You can't take an example from a preacher. You can't go by what you have heard.

You have got to really endeavor to set aside time before the Ancient of Days, just like you do anything else and really get private with the Lord to hear him and to feel him and to really track his personality to the best that you can or he will allow you to, but he's, it's all in the Bible. It's all in different testimonies and things that I've given people have given.

So you might need to start your journey. Maybe your first foot forward is to listen to. More of this podcast or someone else's podcast or to read our books or whatever. And then maybe start there before you go over to the Bible. If, if you struggle with that for some reason [00:25:00] but God's flexible.

Like he'll work with that if that's how you have to do it. Just, but, but do, but do pray fast and read your Bible like you gotta get on that. It's, it feeds your soul, it strengthens you entirely.

And the thing with that star dust being found is older than the sun thing. It has everything to do with this quest for knowledge here. 'cause scientists are always on a quest for new knowledge. Not a bad thing, but you gotta be careful how you handle that knowledge when it comes in. That's when the devil comes in and, and loops you away from, from Jesus Christ.

So it's no small thing when scientists try to walk back, like I read a different article not too long ago, they were saying like, maybe the Big bang didn't actually happen or this, like, it changes. Science is known to change. Like, oh actually this now, oh actually that, [00:26:00] what God is trying to get you to understand is that you're not gonna ever know it all.

Mm-hmm. And things are subject to change and the knowledge that you have is imperfect, but it's good enough to give you something to chew on, to make an intelligent decision about what you're going to believe spiritually or other. But it's no small thing, man. 'cause people have staked that their entire spiritual beliefs or none spiritual beliefs like choice to believe not in God on scientific research.

They have dismissed the son of the most high God based on what science has said. And then science will turn around decades later to be like, well, oops, nevermind them people are like dead and gone. They got to face well. A God who's not pleased with him an angry God who you sat here and wasted your existence and did not care for him.

He's not gonna smile when he sees you. It because you could have, you could have had everything you wanted in this life. And the Lord [00:27:00] God would've only taken something from you that you should not have needed. But I have a very full life and everything is in it, and I have the Lord. And so, I mean, I don't know what it is y'all think y'all want, that you have to have, but that choice to exile the Lord is not to keep.

It's not because he's trying to keep anything from you. It's just 'cause you don't want him. Be clear about that in your heart. That, that you haven't it in your, that that, that this decision you've made to dismiss Jesus Christ is not because of him, it is because of you. And that's what you're viewing things and then things like you're trying to get things and stuff like that a lot of the times.

But it's no small thing for somebody to be like, they're not gonna believe in God. I'm gonna believe in the Big Bang instead for science to be like, oops, we don't think there was one. Science keeps changing, but the Lord does not change. God says, referring to himself, he says, I am God. I change not, and when he was talking to Moses out of the [00:28:00] burning bush, he said, I am that I am.

See God is everything. He doesn't need to change 'cause he already is. And so all that you could possibly imagine is the Lord is Yahweh way. And so science will change and all these things will change. So why stake your belief in faith on something that, and this is saying Stardust is older than the sun today, in a couple of decades or a couple of years, they might reverse that and change it and this and this and this little reporter is all geeked out about, oh, I'm made of star dust.

How exciting when they might change that later on. Because see, you're putting faith in science. Okay, well we put faith in things all the time, every day. . faith is employed. But why put your faith in something as mutable, as scientific research that might change at a moment? You have no idea what you're doing by doing that.

Believe in the Lord who has given us science and accept when he gives us some new tea on it, and just roll with it. [00:29:00] But don't worship it, worship God. It is like, just 'cause And there's so many exceptions to, to these scientific rules and things like that. . is God letting you know he is poking you, letting you know, look up, look up to me.

Don't look around at people. Look up to me. I know everything. They do not I've given you plenty to go on, but I am the one you should worship. Not this knowledge and not this science. Like rain they teach us rain. It's because of the reaction between what positive and negative things or whatever in the clouds and things like that.

And it I don't know, neurons or what, what the fuck ever they have in, in the clouds? True. But that doesn't mean it's like that every time God has given us science and physics, inertia, gravity, and everything. And then we see exceptions to this globally. And when you're dealing with things like this, you're [00:30:00] dealing with forces you can't see, you can't see gravity and inertia or, or the laws of physics.

You're talking about really spiritual things. The Lord has set in place anyway to, to pull the universe and us this way or that. But in the, in the case of these clouds, I have seen rainbows pop up in the sky with not a cloud in the, in the sky. And so it does not have to be like, and I, and I have felt rainfall without like clouds in the sky either.

So there's this structure, but God can move outside of his structure whenever he's ready. So to really sit down and sit with that and marinade with that and really stir that around why all of these things are in place like this, but how God tends to step outside of it. He's trying to get your attention and let you know that he's there, that he's really in control of everything.

. [00:31:00] And then also the important fact here is that all exploration really, whatever the nature of it is, but focusing on scientific exploration, now it comes to a point where certain things just can't be explained. Then they might call it an act of, I don't know if they would call it, it bothered. I don't know if they use those terms.

And I'm not even gonna say that. Some things just cannot be explained scientifically. Maybe they wouldn't even tell you. Not everything that a science studies that is studied in science is released to the general public. Now remember that with anything, there isn't anything. Everything that we see is like a final work sort of thing.

And so, like I say, they could have found that stardust and found some type of way to supposedly age that they could have found 10 other things around it that they couldn't make any sense of. And they just won't ever tell you that. 'cause they don't wanna give any glory to the Most High God. So just because we know what we know about this [00:32:00] universe don't mean that other things were never found out there that just were never talked about.

Nothing is done that way. Every time I write a book, you've written them written reports or whatever the case might be. You do this much research, you find all these things, and then you only produce a one finished product. So whatever is produced from nasa, whatever science group, fellowships at universities, colleges or whatever, ain't all the data.

They've only given us their finished product. Watch that because we put a lot of faith in textbooks and things like that. That, that what other people have studied. And written these textbooks. We went to school and studied these things that we did not go out and verify. These things in the field, that's faith at worked right there.

That's putting faith into people that what they WR wrote is true. What they have written is the truth. So we use faith all the time, but God can be in included. And see, we did not conduct this research ourselves. [00:33:00] Anything that you didn't do yourself and things that even you know it, it is faith. It takes faith to believe it if you didn't do it yourself.

But we can always include God into anything if we want to and pray and fast and read our Bibles and take the time to invite the Lord into whatever it is that we're talking about.

And so you wanna continue to be careful with your journey through the search for knowledge, science, spirituality, wisdom, all of it. 'cause no matter what you're finding, you're never gonna be satisfied with it if you keep looking past the answer that was already given. See, so many of us have reached past the thing that was right in front of us, which was God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost the whole time.

And they, everything starts with them. Everything ends with 'em. They're the answer that you have been looking for.[00:34:00]

So like with that reporter who seemed to be so giddy and happy about believing that she's made out of Stardust because science suddenly stated that they found stardust older than the sun, what will she do the next time a new discovery comes and says, Hey, this other thing is older than Stardust or this other thing.

And then she's gonna be like, oh, yummy. That's a part of me too. Like it's never ever gonna be good enough. And you're always gonna feel like you need more or you're willing to take the next best thing that comes out because you have reached past the Lord who was right in front of you the whole time.

And with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, it's complete satisfaction. So like every time some new star system or whatever shows up, I don't get all giddy and be like, oh, could I have come from that? Or whatever? Already know I came forth from the father in heaven and that's the end of it. And so anything else out there is like.[00:35:00]

Well, cherries and icings and stuff like that. It's all fun and great, but it's not the Lord. So I already know where I came from. I already know where I'm going. I am settled in this matter and I am settled within myself. My heart is fixed trusting in the Lord. So it's very shaky ground to be on. If every time some new news drops, you shift and, and think that that has a part to do with your makeup or your creation or something like that.

You don't want to be that way. So go ahead, take your journey, but keep, keep, keep praying, keep fasting and reading your Bible so that Trinity can help you clarify because you don't, it's not a good thing to be to, if God were to hit you with like an insatiable spirit, that's never gonna be satisfied.

'cause the thing that you're supposed to be satisfied is with him. Be careful. You do not reach past God. And you see, everything that we build is [00:36:00] intentional. It is everything we build an organization, a house or whatever it is set in place by us, by sentient beings. You can't tell me the universe made us because that star can't think for itself.

The sun can't think for itself. Those things are, or they have a, the way they work, it's like they've been ordered to do it and then they, then they hang up in the galaxies and they just do it 'cause God done told them to do it. But but this is exactly how we are. So we learned this from God who is a sentient being, who is the first sentient being who set everything into motion.

So, and then there was that other report that came out saying that they think the universe has a consciousness after all this time with people trying to manifest from the universe and call it God, which it ain't, they just barely getting to think that maybe it has a consciousness. Well, how like can, can, can I wonder if people who, who like the worship of the universe could even render a rhyme or a [00:37:00]reason or any type of a logic as to like how exactly it causes anything that you have manifested to come about. With God

He speaks and it's commanded. He may send His Angels to execute orders on his behalf. You can go through the Bible and see tangibility in the way Yahweh works and you can, and you can like, follow that much of him. Like, like there's so ma, so many question marks and things left unchecked. Are not answered.

They just don't balance out to like basic like logic when you're with, with this like universe rhetoric and this like obsession people have with it. And so, so be careful with it. There's, there's far more about God than what you might think is available, but you really gotta get through that Bible and get on your knees and pray and really act like you want to know before God will reveal these things to you.

You gotta stick at it. It's very curious to [00:38:00] me, like having walked with the Lord these like 40 something years reading the same scriptures. It's like I see God, God opens my eyes and I could see like completely different things in the same scriptures that just wasn't revealed to me before. Like his word is alive.

It's quick and it's powerful and it's sharper than any two-edged sword. And you got to really get in there and sit before the Lord and let him work with you to reveal himself to you

and be careful with that spirit of overreach. Like I was telling you. Don't reach past God. We have a way, we humans have a way of, of, of just, of like fucking that up, like a lot. Like we already have a, a perfectly good job or a position at a, at a company that we like, and then we take a promotion and then we hate it, and then we have to leave the whole company or we leave the company and go over to this next one and we hate it and we wish we would've stayed.

[00:39:00] We have a perfectly good lover, a home with kids and everything, and then somebody goes out and screws somebody they're not supposed to and then ruins that. It's like,

it is like you, it's like, it's like, it is like, I don't think I'd even call that a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes people just like aren't. Deeply satisfied and aware with the quality of what they have, and it makes them feel like the grass might be greener or thicker or lusher or something, when really the most valuable thing is to set with what you have and let it roll.

Like the songwriter Cheryl Crow said, and her song Soak Up the Sun. It's not having what we want is wanting what we've got, and we haven't really milked all the sweet juice and nectar from what we have. It's, and while we're hopping around trying to get the next hot opportunity, we haven't fully utilized the thing we've been given [00:40:00] already.

So what am I talking about with that journeying? But, but eclipsing that journey. Don't let your journey take controls of you. Control it and know when you're going too far with that type of, that type of energy

okay, so our next card is the Four of Wands.

See those two people there? Toasting and cheersing, the good life. Red and blue.

Something, something about, something about those colors. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you Jesus. The Zodiac sign for the four one is Aries. Again. The modality is Cardinal, beginning at spring, and then the planet is Mars. I'll go right ahead and read from astrology, I mean astro style.com. [00:41:00] This minor arcana card has a strong feeling of harmonious success, usually as a community or team affair, the active energy of wands denotes progress.

But how often do we forget to stop and take note of our incredible milestones, celebrating the victory? I'm sorry. Celebrating the journey is as pivotal as enjoying the sweetness of the final victory. The four wands beckons You to celebrate important milestones you've been hitting along the way through your finish line.

Mark your successes rather than simply moving on to the next goal. Channel the positive energy of your smaller celebrations into more of what you want to receive and experience.

As we matriculate through this journey, those micro rewards are important. Like say, you do realize suddenly you're reading the Bible and whoa, I am perceiving more here than I have before. That's the time to shout and stop. And tell the Lord thank you [00:42:00] indeed. You start to feel more fire, more fervor when you're praying and in your prayer life and stuff like that. The Lord rewards you with something. That's an, that's an entirely valid reason to stop and celebrate. You can celebrate things you get also like, like in whatever way you got them, but also who gave them to you as well.

This reminds me of how I've instructed you all before to to take communion at home, get you some, some grape juice, some sort of, non yeast cracker or something like that, and do your own communion at home with Jesus Christ. That is a way to, to take time, to honor him, to acknowledge him, and to celebrate his sacrifice and all that he stood, stood for, and yet stands for.

'cause the pauses, like this is saying, is just as important as the work so we're on this [00:43:00] journey. We've come home here in this four wands, but we have to, but even while we're on the journey, we still gotta take time to celebrate. Now the journey, the overall journey isn't over. So this card is looked at.

It's kind of like that pause for reflection. However, this card still reminds me of like, that coming full circle, feeling like I spoke about previously, because you left God gave you the spark and the ace of wands. You thought about what you wanted to do in the two of wands. You, you, you, you looked out before you stepped out and you put forth that first step of a thousand miles, and now you made it back home.

Completely changed individual. Now this is a time to reflect, but it, it just reminds me of coming full circle. So say you did not know the Lord, and now you do, you know the Lord, and you now have salvation. And so we've, we've kind of come back home in a way, although there's other cards to come like [00:44:00] that.

So you're now a successful business owner. Maybe your first step was to start a business and now you're laying back, raking in the dough, or you're hard at work still burning the midnight oil with your bloody knuckles and burning elbow grease. Not all business owners set back and just pull in money like that.

Many of us have to get in there and still work constantly. That idea of business ownership, you don't, don't, don't get tricked into thinking that like, like a good life or the sweet life is a lazy life, just laying around doing nothing. Like some of you wouldn't even love that if you actually were, were able to do that.

Just sit around and just do like nothing. You wouldn't even much care for it. Like we're really like designed to be active even people who retire still find stuff to go do. So it's just about your, your passion doing what the Lord would have you to do in any given moment

and so you set out on the, on this spiritual journey. And you, [00:45:00] and now you've been granted awakening and spiritual enlightenment before the Ancient of Days. So you've let God guide you to your own identity because the thing about that and some people's journey is if they say might, they might say I need to go find myself.

But the thing is, baby, you can't find yourself. You have to be guided to yourself. You have to be shown who you are. Because if, if you knew all so much, you wouldn't be lost in the first place trying to find you. You can't, a lost man can't guide himself home. Like you have to be guided home. And so be careful with that phase, that phrase I need to find myself, I need to find myself.

No, you need to find the Lord accept his invitation and let him show you who you are. That way you will be built, whatever, whoever your identity is, will be built on a strong foundation. That's what I had to do [00:46:00] with my sexuality, with the way I identify within like, like masculine and all of that I had to go to the Lord to be shown and to be taught how to be a man and everything like that.

'cause the foundation was just cracked and shredded. Having been raised in a narcissistic verbally and mentally, physically and emotionally in whatever other kind of way, abusive household. There wasn't nothing there I could build any type of a life on. So I went to Jesus Christ and was like, I need you to just overhaul everything and then teach me how to be a man.

And then he did. But then that's coming full circle. We, we leave one way and then we come back home to this floor of wands different than what we come, than what we left. And it's this celebration. Not everybody's gonna celebrate your changes. Now, sometimes when people are happier with you, when you were still down here, like when I was homeless, some people liked me there.

When the Lord raised me up and then I became a [00:47:00] successful business owner, they couldn't hang with that. So I had to get away from those people. So when you come back home after a journey, how was that like in Lord of the Rings when Frodo and Sam Wise, and Pippin and Peregrin Took and all of them went out to, to Mordor that one year they were gone, changed them entirely.

And when they came back to the Shire, they were taller, they were different, they were more robust. There's a whole workout out there in the fields and on the road, y'all I. So it changes you and then people are gonna begin to respond to you differently. Prayerfully not before you realize it, but, but God and Christ got your back.

'cause sometimes we go through these changes and then people start looking at us and responding to us differently before we realize we have been changed. That's one way we can learn that people might come around you trying to get like more things from you and different things like that and trying to like [00:48:00] well pulse you and like affect you like in different ways because they're sensing a stronger aura coming from you.

Now that you've been around the Ancient of Days, around the most high God, like, and going through all of these promotions and things like that, it changes you. So when we come back home, we're not the same. And we might have to, again, like I told you back at the two of wands, cut some people off. Do not let people forfeiture your happiness, your whole purpose for being here because they're no longer congruent with this new person that you have become.

And you might go through a drastic enough change where you just not just not compatible with people anymore, honor God. You're here to serve him. You stand alone before the Ancient of Days. Everyone else is literally negotiable and and optional and um, and if they become incompatible now is what I'm saying.

And this is a very victorious card, but of all [00:49:00] the victories you could get, like in the way that this card could be teaching or the way it has to do with scholarships, could be going to college to learn a degree. This could be finishing that. Could be help with that and accomplishing that. But if you don't know the Lord and you don't know who you are, then what victory do you actually have?

Because you really have to know who you are to be happy. Really You do. It's not the things that you gotta know the Lord to be happy too. You gotta have both, okay? And until you learn yourself by the Lord teaching you, then you latch on to Jesus Christ. You pull on the hymn of his garnish child and he will fix you.

Because some of us, we need to be made right? And I don't mean fix in a derogatory manner, but I'm all like, I've been broken and fuck it. I needed to be fixed. I don't see the problem in that. And Jesus came along and fixed me, and now I'm healed and whole. And so,[00:50:00]

and he said, you have whatever victory the Four of Wands represents to you, but now you have to fight to keep it. There's this thing called keeping the victory. And 'cause the devil's gonna come and try to take it from you. And in a myriad of ways I dare say primarily through people. We have got to watch the people we let be around us in whatever way.

I don't care what it is. We have got to watch the people. So let me take this. Five of Wands Look at how petty this card is. This, this chaos, pandemonium. Nobody's happy. Everybody's fighting each other and nobody looking up to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost for solutions just all cut up in this rigamarole, in this psychotic cycle that Satan will swirl this world in through all manner of things to get your attention off of the Lord.

This is represented by the [00:51:00] Zodiac sign of Leo. This is a fixed sign occurring in the middle of summer. The planet represented here is the, well, it's the sun, not really a planet. When the Five of Wands shows up, get ready for a conflict or disagreement if you're not already in it. This is reading from astro style.com.

But don't fret the Five of Wands doesn't necessarily signal a doomed outcome. It's simply a sign that is going to take some effort to navigate the challenges along the way. If you're at odds with someone, it may be time to have a hard conversation and stand up for what you believe in. Likewise, if you're facing stiff competition for your goal, stay in the game.

Whether you win or lose, it's not the point. You'll be better served taking this as an opportunity to grow and get better, even if it isn't a clear slam dunk. One thing we got to get straight on is there's, they're gonna be challenges. The devil came to tempt Jesus, and then Jesus prevailed over him, but then the [00:52:00] devil only left him for a season.

We gonna be vexed that have issues and problems. How does the Bible say? I think even lizards are found in king's palaces. God not gonna give us like true heaven on earth. Okay? We might have some good old times and stuff like that, but before too long it's gonna be some foolishness. And that's just the pattern of the design to keep us thirsting after heaven.

The, the Lord, we can't get that comfortable in his life. We got to get up outta here one day. But this is also fitness. It's our workout. The Bible says, through your patience, possess you, your soul. So even though you might have to duke it out with enemies, you're getting strengthened by it. Like with the the Shire boys from the Lord of the Rings, like I was just saying, they have to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight all that time on the road.

And they got all like buff and stuff. They got strengthened by it. And so when the Lord allows our enemies to try to attack us, it's only to make us better for all things. As the Bible says, work to good for those of us who love the Lord and who are the called according to his purposes, [00:53:00] everything does, it does not matter.

Everything does because that's how good God is. And he's way out in front of everything and He's all around everything. Can't nobody out wit the Lord. Uhuh They, they have, many have tried, but they cannot fool God. It's not gonna work that way. Thank you Jesus. Thank you.

Now be careful about how this card talks about like if you're at odds with somebody, okay, like how they were saying on Astro style, it might be time to have a, a hard conversation to stand up what you believe in. I'm gonna go through 1, 2, 3 scriptures. About this whole conflict thing that people tend to like to have.

Now, God does not want us fighting with people, okay? He does not want us fighting with people for no reason. He does not want us running around here disliking people. Have you ever heard somebody petty just be like oh, I don't like her. You might go like, well, why? What'd they do? [00:54:00] I don't know. I just don't like her.

That's not a good reason to to dislike someone that we, we wanna lean more on, like being at odds with perhaps what they stand for, what they do or whatever, and get out of this and be careful with that. There's like a hate of a, of a person. I think about it in the book of Revelation when Jesus was saying like, he hates the works of the Nicolaitans

He says, he says he hates their, their works. He didn't specifically say he hated like say them. He said, I have not found your works perfect. So maybe we can, maybe we, maybe we can do better and like examine like the works of people and the things they do and try to like disassociate that from them.

Like, [00:55:00] like, like, like, like in that arena. Okay. We are like like what we do, how we, how we do anything is how we do everything and all of that. As I always quote from John Wick. But if we're gonna like, just be done with somebody, then let it be over what they did or what they stood for, and then we just get away from them.

But that doesn't mean we have to, to like hate them or dislike them. What did Tina Turner say? I don't care who's wrong or right? I just don't wanna fight no more. Okay. So just go on. I go on ex-friend, ex lover, ex parent, ex child. If it had to come to that fix, whatever, I don't, I don't have any interest in despising you all that.

All that shit you did was terrible. Everybody has to stand before the Lord. You were just like super weak and that's what caused all of these things to happen. But I gotta get away from you. But I'm not about to sit here and hate you, Uhuh. I don't have time for that. That's unwise. See, like in the book of [00:56:00]Matthew.

Chapter 18 verses 15 through 17. Jesus is talking. He says, moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou has gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more that that in the mouth of two or three witnesses.

Every word may be established and if he shall neglect to hear them tell it unto the church. But if he neglect to hear the church, let him be onto thee as a heathen man and a publican. So this is somebody here reaching out the olive branch of peace over some foolishness that then popped off or somebody perceives it to have been, and somebody being so stubborn and set in their ways that they refuse to work it out.

That's not a good thing. Jesus said in this case, he considers you to be like a heathen child. That's somebody who's far from God. Like if you, if you, [00:57:00] God said, follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord and holiness is living according to God's standards. There's doing anything but doing it God's way.

That is what holiness is. And I've talked about that before and I would do a whole message on holiness. It's nothing about going to church or dressing a certain way. It's about being pure and righteous, I mean, and right, and like a well and righteous before the Lord. It really, really is though. But this insistence upon being at odds with people.

Jesus Christ considers you to be a heathen child because of that unnecessary fight in your heart, that unnecessary rage you won't release. In Matthew chapter five, verses 23 through 24, Jesus says, therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee.

Leave there thy gift before the altar and go that way. First we reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift. [00:58:00] This is saying like literally before you send up offerings and prayers before the most high, God, if you got some tea with somebody, you haven't settled. Your prayers just might be hindered by that God, you know this can hin literally hinder your prayer. Sometimes people wonder why their prayers don't get answered and stuff like that. Do you have any like, I dunno rage against somebody who you're just letting sit there fester. That type of thing. I've told y'all before about like an ex sibling that I used to have that, that had this rage in their heart at me from when I was homeless, and they never would address it.

For years, I was hanging out with this sibling, ex sibling thinking everything was a Gucci. Then all of a sudden after, like after the aunt died, then all of these emotions come out and all these insults about when I was homeless and how they felt like they went through a troublous times when I was living on the streets, and they weren't and all of that.[00:59:00]

Point, point, point is, instead of sitting there all those years next to me with this hate fueling, like festering in you, like that person could have spoken about it instead, they chose not to. You see what I'm saying? That's not a good look before the Lord, because you could have, you could get up every day and do whatever the fuck you want to do.

You can make things right with people. You can have peace. You can go try to have sex with whoever you can. You can go do drugs. You can go to travel somewhere. You can try to make money. You can take care of your cats. You can take care of your kids. You could bother to pray fast and read your Bible, whatever you want you do.

And so, what Christ is saying, since you have all this free time like that, or you're filling your time, whatever you want, why not fill it with like forgiveness, working out these issues you have with people, okay? He's trying to help you 'cause it is weighing on you. Like instead of all, all that negativity spewed up out of this person, [01:00:00] like suddenly after years where it could have been resolved, don't let the devil trick you.

That's a a, a snare, okay, that the devil has snared you with to sat there with anger in your heart at somebody, and they're literally sitting right next to you and all you have to do is go, Hey, I feel this way. Let's hash it out because the devil could be lying and there may not even be anything material.

It could have been so easy to just dismiss had you spoken and exposed that devil and ran the thing out than to let it sat there. But people will go years if not decades with unspoken wrath and rage against somebody. And they could have walked out of that prison long time ago if they would've, but piped up and said something about it.

But what Christ's trying to get you to understand is, is that God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost do not like it when you go before them with rage in your heart. Against somebody and [01:01:00] you haven't dealt with it. And especially after all that we have had to be forgiven for. Be careful with this. I heard a reporter this morning like somebody, like a dad killed like all of his kids or something like that, like his daughters or something I saw on the news this morning and this one reporter was saying like, I'll never understand how a parent can kill their children.

And I looked at that and I said, there's many ways that that, that they could have commented on that. Now, 'cause reporters are expected to say a little something after the clip of whatever plays, but that was like a statement of judgment. And reporters need to be careful about judgmental statements like that said on the fly.

I'll never understand how a parent could murder their child. Well, you don't live in their head. I ain't trying to justify it, but the Bible says, in the sight of God shall no, shall, no, shall no man living be justified. No flesh be justified before the Ancient of Days. Only under the [01:02:00] blood of the lamb can we be justified.

So for that reporter to talk like that means she judged him okay for having murdered those kids. But the Lord, the blood of Jesus covers everything. Even murder and I taught y'all that on the last episode. So you better get outta your head with this, with this rhetoric that There's certain crimes and certain things that you're ready to break out your tiki torches and go, well tie somebody to the cross and crucify them over.

Tie them, okay, so to speak. When we got our own problems and our own issues to work out. 'cause I thought to myself that dude might examine your life, okay, reporter, and say the same thing. I don't see how she could do that. So what sense, what victory will we have where we're pointing fingers at each other going.

I don't see how they could have done that, judging them when we got so much that we gotta work on and take before the Lord to get forgiven for on a daily basis. The Bible say we [01:03:00] sin daily. And to sin is to do something that hurts yourself or hurts the Lord, that is what sin is. It is quantifiable and it's damage.

It's not just some control thing. Sin is something that you can track. Like how did this hurt me? How did this hurt this other person? How did this hurt God? That is sin. Okay? Let your judgments go. And when other people come around you don't. You get caught up in that whirlwind, the devil spins this whirlwind of that judgment 'cause people will sit there, say a whole group of people and watch where this dad killed his children all jump on a bandwagon and be ready to cast him into, into, into, into hell, into judgment.

How could he, how could he? Then everybody starts saying that, but nobody's saying, but we don't know him. Why don't we just shut up? Because all of our words are recorded before the Most High God. And, and like Christ said, we shall have to give an account for every idle word that came out of our mouth. So if we're not gonna pray for those.

Pray for the [01:04:00] family, pray for the man. Even the murdering man, he's not in his right state of mind if he did that. And so, so if you ain't got enough mercy to even pray for the murderer, okay, maybe you're not at that point, then hush your mouth about judging him because you, you're, what you're storing up is judgment for yourself in the future because God is not mocked whatsoever.

A man soweth that also will he reap. Now you could have hushed your mouth and not said anything, but since you chose to speak and you spoke judgment upon this murderer, well you're gonna have judgment in return because the Lord said with the merciful, he will show himself merciful. But if you're gonna be mean, he said with the harsh He, he said, you shall receive judgment without mercy.

If you have no mercy to give, then you ain't gonna get none. Because that's just, is all that there is to it. And what good is mercy when it's convenient? Like you're really tested by the Lord and . the Lord will test you. Don't let nobody tell you otherwise. When it's something that really incenses you, like a [01:05:00] parent murdering their children.

How did you respond to that news in your heart towards that man? Were you ready to, to crucify him or were you ready to show him love? The choice is yours. Whatever you put out is what you gonna get back. And it's not for you to say that your sin ain't as ugly as his sin, cuz all of this has been answered in the Bible before, get your eyes off of people and get them on the Lord before the devil gets you into trouble.

Child

mercy.

Glory be to God in the highest. And then in Matthew five 21 through verse 22, it says, you have heard that it was said of them of old time, thou shall not kill that whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. Mm. But I say unto you that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment that whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca [01:06:00] shall be in danger of the council.

But whosoever shall say, thou fool shall be in danger of hell fire. Christ has given you a whole litany of a breakdown here on just how much attention is paid by Him to how you talk about people, how you treat people, and how you handle people. Okay? And so he's saying,

if you were angry with somebody and this person has done you nothing, that you are in danger of the judgment. He is likening this. Like I tell, like how in the past, like somebody who would kill would be in danger of the judgment. Like in times past, they had cities and towns erected in like the nation of Israel like if somebody killed somebody, it was an accident.

They could go there to flee death and all of this and so on and so forth. He's saying whoever shall kill somebody should be in danger of the judgment. You, the judgment hadn't happened. You gotta see what happened, the particulars now, [01:07:00] but what Christ is saying, just, just like somebody who has murdered somebody, if you are angry at somebody without a cause, he's likening it on the same level.

It's not a good look. This, this anger that's just out there. And it's not just a petty, jealous person who is angry at you for those reasons. But it's the same thing, like with that previous example, old ass anger, years old. Now if not decades that could have been resolved. And you then you have the nerve to be hanging out with the person acting like everything's okay.

To me, the way I'm hearing that, I, I don't the, that, that is like being angry without a justifiable reason because it could have been resolved already. It's not like you didn't have the resources, the time to, to, to get the anger sorted out. [01:08:00] That's why I be careful about who I let get close to me, man.

Like I said earlier, I will work with all kinds of people that I won't eat with, like that like, like that, like I will work with, with, with, with, with, with all kinds of people. This is necessary. But I can't, I gotta be real prayerful 'cause I can't, I can't let nobody get close to me with anger and rage and jealousy 'cause that stuff affects you man.

And people might not just be saying all of these things. Now we gotta be careful who we like, get close to us, like in our personal lives like that. But do work with people 'cause we have to work with everybody. What was that quote from the old guard? Old guard 2. Sometimes we have to work with people we don't eat with and that's just what it is to it.

Now this card here also speaks to that unnecessary and very silent like type of conflict. Even within like families. You have [01:09:00] parents who just like hate their children, like for various reasons. Y'all like, like would you still hang around your kid parent if your kid wasn't your kid? Is it like a relationship of, of necessity?

Do you take a genuine interest in who that child is apart from being like your son, daughter or other? Do you actually see them as an individual being a sort of a thing? Are you just filling a role as a parent? See that lack of connection while going through the motions teaches our children to not only do the same but to accept the same.

So when they have kids, unless the cycle is broken through the fire of the Holy Ghost, okay, will they be able to to reconcile and be like, wait a minute, my parents did this, but I'm not gonna do this. I don't have to act like that and be shallow towards my children. [01:10:00] And that sort of thing.

And then it'll make us accept the same thing too when people don't treat us right? We get into these relationships with our supposed lovers and although the thing is devoid of genuine affection, if we stay there and go through the motions anyway, well, we learned that from our parents. Treating us with a shallow hand

so ., we have to be careful because more, as they say, is caught than what is taught. Your children pick up all kinds of things off of you. Same thing if you're a manager at work, a leader anywhere. People look up to us. They will follow us and just do what we do because we are in the positions that we're in.

And we have got to be careful with what we're silently teaching people globally or micro micro cosmically in our own homes or in our own communities. We have to be very careful. Children, regardless of your age, do you actually [01:11:00] know your parent and care to hang around them as a person or are you still doing things with them just because of the title of parent?

I met older adults before, like in their thirties, forties, who, who, who by their own testament know that their parent despises them, yet they still go over for holiday dinners. Anyway. That's not intelligent. It is not healthy for you to do for yourself. Now, if y'all, it it like, like from chow, if they're not gonna act right, it's time to separate and go our separate ways.

Now,

if you keep speaking peace and all they want is war, you're not required to sit there and keep fighting with these people. If somebody really want peace, they gonna get it. If not, they don't want it.

And this same line of thinking, this being cautious of this silent competition that creeps beneath the seam here with people, any relationship, your lovers, your fellow, the coworkers, you might have issues with them too in this regard. [01:12:00] A little bit more difficult when it's not in your personal life to, to deal with this.

Like in the office it's, it's more difficult type of a thing. But with God, nothing shall be impossible. Keep praying it's gonna be all right. Those of you who are out there struggling with that, that interoffice drama, that workplace narcissist, that foolish manager that's left in place. Mm-hmm. The Lord is not for a workplace narcissist.

I don't care how productive they are, they are a cancer, a carnivorous black hole that's just devouring everything. People's spirits and energies. And the people who allow the workplace narcissists to stay in place will have their. Comeuppance and bad karma from the Ancient of Days for allowing this to happen.

So you're gonna have productivity from that workplace narcissist today, but God's gonna turn around and rip it all away from you in the end because you should not have let that person who you knew was a bitter root and a bitter seed in that workplace, stay there just because they generated [01:13:00] you.

Whatever it is you think you wanted to have,

you are gonna be dealt with.
