1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,200 Possibly one in four women, Christian women might have an 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,240 STD. They're saying young girls, 15 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,800 to 24 are experiencing some of the highest rates ever of STD. 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,280 I've actually seen people get healed, people saying I had 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,120 herpes for 10 years. When you prayed, I felt the love 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,880 of God come into my body and I'm healed. 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,080 God said. I want to begin to heal my 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,720 daughters that have STD's where they don't get what they deserve 9 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,160 but they get what Jesus died to purchase for them. 10 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:42,000 Say something a little controversial here. 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,840 I think Christian today we're going to talk about some 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,800 subjects that do not get talked about in the church that 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,640 probably going to need to be talked about in the church a 14 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,360 little bit more. We are going to be talking about 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,840 what used to be called venereal disease. 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720 Then it became St. DS, and now it's my 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,240 understanding it's an STI. An STI. 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,040 It's funny to me that we're really great with Jesus being 19 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,640 the healer of things that might be the result of poor choices in 20 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,680 diet, poor choices or lack of exercise. 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,800 But when something happens that we judge as somebody's getting 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,800 what they deserve, we, we don't seem to have a lot of mercy for 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,360 that. And I, I want to show you this 24 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,760 video that I saw recently because it just really actually 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480 touched my heart. I was like, whoa, I just told 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,840 somebody that I was interested in that I had herpes. 27 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,520 And for that being like my first time, like disclosing to 28 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,680 somebody, I just wish it went a little better because I've never 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,280 done that before. And like, is that how it's going 30 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,560 to be like every time? Like, am I going to like like a 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240 guy? And then he's just, is it ever 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,480 going to get easier? Does it get easier telling 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,600 people I don't know how to do this? 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,240 Wow. When I watched that the first 35 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,120 time, my heart went out to this young girl that had been lied to 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,520 and told that there was no cost with promiscuity. 37 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,960 And I don't know, I mean, what when you, when you listen to 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,480 that, what's your immediate reaction on that? 39 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,520 There's so many things that I think we want to ask the 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120 questions for, especially when we're thinking of ourselves 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,800 raising the next generation. I mean, I have a daughter on the 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560 way and I would want to tell her, don't you know, don't do 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,840 it. Don't buy into the scam. 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,840 But thinking, what if something like that happened to her, for 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,680 her, We're not sure what the background story is. 46 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,440 I want to, you know, assume the best. 47 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,040 I want to assume she's at a place of wanting to heal. 48 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,280 But I instantly thought of Jesus and the people he touched with 49 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,480 leprosy. I mean, those are people that no 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,480 one wanted to be near them and in one way understandably so. 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,520 But in the other side, it's like, well, how do we reach 52 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,920 people that even in for whatever reason, they're at this place of 53 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000 I'm at a loss. I need healing. 54 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,800 I want to do better. I want to I still want to have 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120 functional relationships. And to me, the true. 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280 Children and get married and truth. 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,800 Is yeah, if you're promiscuous, there could be an STD. 58 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,960 That's what I've always known, so I'm going to call it that. 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,680 There could be an STD. You could be heartbroken. 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,400 There are so many other pangs that go with being promiscuous 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,600 than just, you know, the, the girl that does get an STD or the 62 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,720 girl that doesn't they're pregnant. 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,520 It could happen to any one of us. 64 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200 So I don't think first and foremost, we're at a place to 65 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,280 judge. Well, look at your consequence. 66 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,280 Mine isn't visible, but how dare you know it should always be the 67 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Jesus model of Lord. I need your healing. 68 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,320 But he does say go and sin no more. 69 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,480 So I think we shouldn't focus so much on, well, this is your past 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,560 and this is how you got here. What are the steps forward of 71 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,720 healing for people that find themselves? 72 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,800 In a sense of pain kind of to to wrap around that I want to tell 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,480 a little bit of a story. So I wrote a book long, long 74 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,800 time ago, way before any of my boys were married, called Kiss 75 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,000 the Girls and made them cry. And when I wrote the book, I 76 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,360 wrote it from a position of somebody who could easily be 77 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,040 that young girl, from somebody who had made horrible choices 78 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,720 with my sexuality, somebody who had dove right into promiscuity 79 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,040 during college. I, I wasn't a Christian, but you 80 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240 know that I knew better. I knew better. 81 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,720 I knew that I was not making constructive or healthy choices. 82 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,880 And I remember the there was a opportunity for my book to be 83 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,480 featured on a particular radio show. 84 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,000 And I was really excited about this radio show. 85 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,720 And I get a call from my publicity person and they said, 86 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,200 oh, they're not going to feature you because of a couple of your 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,640 stances in your book. And these were things I had 88 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,920 really prayed into Christian. And so I I went on our back deck 89 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,000 in Colorado and I'm just crying and I'm like God. 90 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,160 I felt like I stood for righteousness. 91 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,920 I was vulnerable. Nobody else is writing a book 92 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,560 about all their poor choices and redeeming them. 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240 Everybody else is like, I didn't kiss till I got married. 94 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,920 You know, that kind of thing. I'm like, I, I'm the poster girl 95 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,240 for I did everything wrong. But I, I believe that God has 96 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,200 hope and future and I'm sitting in on my back patio crying. 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,120 All the boys are running amok in the house and, and I hear what 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,440 can I do in your meetings? And I'm like, this has nothing 99 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,000 to do with me not being on a radio show. 100 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560 What do you mean? What can you do in my meetings? 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:49,640 And I heard I want to begin to heal my daughters that have St. 102 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,960 DS STI's V DS what whatever it is, I want to begin to heal 103 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800 them. And I thought, wait a minute, 104 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,720 wait a minute, what would that look like? 105 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,240 I need everybody down to the altar that has herpes. 106 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680 Come on over here. I need AIDS over here. 107 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,160 I need, I thought, no one's coming down for that altar call. 108 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,520 I can't do that. And I had such a sense that God 109 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:21,080 said, no, no, send my word and my word will become flesh in 110 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,120 their life and my word will bring healing. 111 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,600 And then my judgement kicked in. I thought, well, you know, come 112 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000 on, God. I mean, when people, when 113 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400 they're promiscuous, they're, they're getting, they're getting 114 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,760 diseases. It's kind of like judgement. 115 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440 I mean, you know, it's kind of cause and effect here. 116 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,760 If you're promiscuous, then you might get one of these STD's or 117 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,800 STI's as they call them now. And I heard no one gets what 118 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,840 they deserve. We all deserve judgement and we 119 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,880 get mercy. And I was like, whoa, that's 120 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,120 what I got. I deserve judgement. 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,560 And I got mercy. And I had a marriage and I have 122 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,160 children. And and so I remember I was 123 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,760 doing a women's meeting down in Pueblo, Co, and I had gotten 124 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840 done speaking, and I had such a sense that the Holy Spirit was 125 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,320 like, come on, you know what I asked if I could do in your 126 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,160 meetings? You know what? 127 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,760 I asked. And so I said, all right, 128 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,240 possibly one in four women now in the United States of America 129 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640 are wrestling now. This was like 20 years ago, 130 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,040 maybe 2004. Possibly one in four women in 131 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,280 this audience, Christian women might have an STD. 132 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,680 And I said, so I'm not going to call you out, but I am going to 133 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,320 call out the shame and the judgment that you feel. 134 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,080 And I don't know why we think that God only wants to heal nice 135 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,320 diseases. I believe that God is a healer 136 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,320 of every disease. And so I remember I just read 137 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,760 Psalm one O 3 over them. And it's not even like super 138 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,960 big, but I just said, OK, you know what I'm going to do? 139 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,720 I'm just going to read Psalm one O 3 over the women. 140 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,120 And so I'm going to read it over you guys because I do believe 141 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640 that there's people that are going to be out there and I want 142 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,400 you to hear the goodness of God. And when we close today, I'm 143 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040 actually we're going to pray and believe that God's healing 144 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,200 presence is going to come to you. 145 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,640 So Psalm one O 3 says, O bless the Lord all my soul and forget 146 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,080 not all his benefits. Who forgives all your sins? 147 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,159 Now we, we, we don't have a hard time believing that we're all 148 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,400 like, yeah, I believe that God can forgive all my sins. 149 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,000 I believe that Jesus died for the Givens of my sins. 150 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,400 But he doesn't stop there. It says and not or not like, OK, 151 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,600 you get to pick 1. He either is going to forgive 152 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160 you or heal you, but it's just too big to ask for more. 153 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,400 And it says and heals all your diseases. 154 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,840 Then it says who redeems your life from destruction? 155 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Who renews your youth like the eagle and and I love it says, 156 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,960 you know, one of the versions I believe is the King James, It 157 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,320 says, and all my inmost being bless his holy name. 158 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,840 And so kind of like a throw off. I was like, OK, in the last two 159 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,120 minutes here, I'm just going to throw out Psalm one O 3 as a 160 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800 promise of God, because at the end of the day, Christian, I'm 161 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,840 not the healer. You're not the healer. 162 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600 God sends his word and he heals people. 163 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,400 His word is Jesus. So Jesus healed everybody. 164 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,600 We never see anybody walking on the face of the earth and they 165 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,520 came up to Jesus and he said, Hey, you need to learn something 166 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,560 from this. I'm not going to heal you yet. 167 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Let's let's let you suffer a little bit. 168 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240 The only time we see that is with the sacrificed nation woman 169 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,280 where Jesus like, Hey, it's not right to give the dogs the 170 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,520 children's bread, but even with her, he ends up, you know, 171 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,560 healing her. So here's the thing. 172 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,000 I believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and 173 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,800 forever. So I prayed the prayer kind of 174 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,240 like I'm running out the building. 175 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480 You know, I'm just going to, I'm going to say Psalm one O 3 And 176 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,520 then I want all the women that are in the room, all the women, 177 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,280 not just the women that might need all the women to say be it 178 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,800 unto me according to your word. And I left and then Christian, I 179 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,920 started getting the letters. And this is back when you'd get 180 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,440 letters. In the mail. 181 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,800 In the mail, I had herpes for 10 years. 182 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,800 My case was so horrible. I was in constant pain. 183 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,720 Every single menstrual cycle I would have a breakout. 184 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:49,720 And when you prayed, I felt the love of God come into my body 185 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,200 and I'm healed. It's been 3 months, nothing has 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,960 happened and then this started happening all over. 187 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,600 Then I had women in Australia saying I prayed. 188 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,520 If Lisa will pray for women to be healed of St. 189 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,880 DS, I'm going to believe that God will touch my life. 190 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,320 I had a woman write me and say my case was so bad that the 191 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,120 doctors used me as a test case for, you know, trying to find 192 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,280 different ways to, to heal a different thing. 193 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,160 And she said nothing was working. 194 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,760 And in one moment I was healed. So we have this, this tension 195 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:33,280 between choices and consequences and, and we have a generation 196 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,320 right now they're saying young girls, 15 to 24 are experiencing 197 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,040 some of the highest rates ever of STD's. 198 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,680 I hate even saying SDI because it just makes it sound like an 199 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:48,440 infection, like you can just put some of the sport on it and it's 200 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280 gone. But these are things that number 201 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,600 one, attack their ability to reproduce. 202 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,680 So that just feels so demonic and #2 like put a shadow of 203 00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,880 shame on their life. Hey friends, I am so excited to 204 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,400 share with you about my newest book. 205 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,080 It is called The Fight for FEMA Reclaiming our Divine Identity. 206 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,720 I have never had to wrestle so hard to write a book. 207 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,840 It is available for pre-order right now and then it will be 208 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360 available everywhere on September 3rd. 209 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,640 I want to see you reserve your copy. 210 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,880 I believe that this book will equip you to have the 211 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,320 conversations that we are going to be needing to have in the 212 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,080 near future. I believe that women are being 213 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,120 sexualized and silenced and I am not OK with that and I know you 214 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,040 aren't either. So grab your copy today. 215 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,680 So like, what are some of your thoughts around what I'm saying? 216 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160 I think the palpable tension between these kind of 217 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,920 conversations is we want to embrace purity culture. 218 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,640 We, especially as a parent in this realm, is like, well, we 219 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,200 don't want to just say, oh, it's OK, God can heal everything. 220 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,760 Say something a little controversial here. 221 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360 I think the instances that I read in the Bible of Jesus 222 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,120 healing people, it wasn't as a covering, it was a cleansing. 223 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,800 And so if we're going and we're saying, well, I want to keep 224 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,080 being promiscuous. I want God to heal me so I can 225 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720 still date someone. I don't think God's going to 226 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240 come in and say, Oh well, I'll, I'll remove this from your life 227 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,040 so you can keep being promiscuous with the next person 228 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,720 you date. I think he's saying I want to 229 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,880 cleanse you from this so you can have a healthy marriage. 230 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,320 You can have. Children take in adultery that 231 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,080 you talked about earlier. Yeah, yeah, like going back to 232 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,120 what you said, he said I do not condemn you and we all stop 233 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,400 about you are guilty, cast a post on I do not condemn you, 234 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,160 but he said. Go and sin no more yeah yes and 235 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,120 I think that that's what I want to grasp here and when I hear 236 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,480 that so I think our innate turn is to either be like will you 237 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,440 deserve this or like to me there does need to be a point of 238 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,120 transformation and I think that allows us to enter into faith 239 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920 that God can heal us it allows us to have that heart posture of 240 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,200 God. I need you this is incurable I 241 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,720 know only you can do this and I want to want to experience your 242 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,160 healing but also walk in your love. 243 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,480 I know from me, I didn't have an STD, but I did have moments 244 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800 where where I've, I've broken my own heart, I've broken other 245 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,960 people's heart. I feel the shame, I've cast 246 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,520 shame. I want to do things differently. 247 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,400 And I think we all can relate to that. 248 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,200 No matter what your history is, is, you know, shame is something 249 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,320 that will infect not just your love life or your sex life. 250 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,600 It'll affect your identity. And to me the it's miraculous 251 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,720 that God can heal an STD but also how he can completely 252 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,280 transform someone's future. Hundred 100%. 253 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960 But you know, what's so crazy was the churches that we're 254 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,720 going to, we're starting to get upset. 255 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,080 They're like, hey, we don't want to hear that God might heal 256 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,600 those things. We're OK if you pray for people 257 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,600 that have broken arms or cancer, but we don't want you to even 258 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,720 mention the term STD or TI or whatever it is. 259 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,760 We don't want you to even mention that God is the healer 260 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,760 of that. So you know what I did 261 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,760 Christian? I wrote it in a book. 262 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,520 I wrote out the prayer because books don't go places that I 263 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,480 will never go. And I wrote it in a book and I 264 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,520 was speaking somewhere in 2007. So it's been a long time. 265 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,880 Like the the book, the book that came out in 2004 was because the 266 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,280 girls who made them cry. And then in 2007, I had a book 267 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,160 come out called Fight Like a Girl, The Power of Being a 268 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000 Woman. And I included the prayer for 269 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120 healing in that book and share just some of the testimonies of 270 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,040 women. And there was a beautiful girl 271 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,400 that her name is Trinity. She's amazing. 272 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,400 She is a model, and she had contracted herpes. 273 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,640 And these are her words, she said. 274 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760 In the fall of 2007, I attended a women's conference in New York 275 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,680 where Lisa was speaking, and I bought her book, Fight Like a 276 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560 Girl. She said a couple months later, 277 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,160 in the middle of a lonely, isolated season as a single 278 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,480 woman, I realized I had contracted herpes from a recent 279 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,040 encounter on a date. In that moment of realization, I 280 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,640 experienced A deeper and darker pit of shame than I ever had. 281 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,680 My immediate thought was wanting to die, and I know that she was 282 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480 raised Christian, but she was working as a model in New York 283 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,120 and things had gone a little sideways for her, she said The 284 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,480 next thought swirling around my mind was that I deserve this. 285 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,840 It was my bad decisions and these were the fair 286 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,560 consequences. And again, if you're out there 287 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,240 and you're thinking, yeah, that's me, I made bad decisions 288 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800 and this is the consequences. Again, I'm just going to 289 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,760 reiterate, we all deserve judgement, but we don't get what 290 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,800 we deserve. We all deserve judgement and God 291 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,000 gives us mercy. And she said my dreams of 292 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,480 marriage, family slipped away into the darkness and enveloped 293 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,280 me. I immediately hopped in a cold 294 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,240 shower to ease the excruciating physical pain and as I stood 295 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,480 there, I heard in my spirit a still small voice whisper, I 296 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,760 want to heal you. I just, I mean, right, just 297 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,160 pause right there. This is who God is. 298 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,200 That's that's who was speaking to me when I'm feeling sorry for 299 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160 myself. He's like Lisa, this isn't about 300 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,680 you. This is about a generation of 301 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,000 young girls that have been trapped into the lies that 302 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080 promiscuity will not cost them anything. 303 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,800 Trapped into the lies that these choices will not have a long 304 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,720 term effect. This is a generation where the 305 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,360 enemy wants to take away their ability to reproduce or build 306 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:50,240 families. And so she goes on to say she 307 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,120 was meditating on Psalm One O 3 and reading Fight Like a Girl. 308 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,160 I happen to be on chapter 15. Just them. 309 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,240 And I froze as I read the Holy Spirit nudging Lisa to share 310 00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:04,800 message of healing specifically related to women with sexually 311 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760 transmitted diseases at her upcoming conference. 312 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:09,760 She's now. I've been both a book where I'm 313 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,400 and a follower of Jesus since I was a young girl and I'd never 314 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,280 heard these two topics ever mentioned together. 315 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,360 Gratitude feel filled me and not only did Lisa obey and follow 316 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,360 the uncomfortable request, but also she was able to read the 317 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,280 testimony of a woman who had struggled monthly. 318 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,680 I already mentioned this do it with symptoms of herpes for 23 319 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,320 years and was healed after the conference. 320 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,040 She said I believed, I felt and seen and heard by God. 321 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,440 She believed in that moment that God's mercy was available for 322 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,800 her and she prayed the prayer just received the promises of 323 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,120 God on the hillsides of Italy and God totally healed her. 324 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,960 So at this point I still haven't met her. 325 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,640 So she's a model and she starts telling other models and makeup 326 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,200 artist about how God healed her. And then she started praying for 327 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,040 people and they started getting healed of a sexually transmitted 328 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,600 diseases. And by the time I had met her, 329 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,040 she had like, this group that she was like, these are all my 330 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,880 friends. We've all come to to hear you. 331 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520 We heard you, you know, six years ago. 332 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,480 And we're all like, we, we're all healed because of what you 333 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,480 wrote in the book. And because I believed and I've 334 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,280 prayed for these makeup artists and these models. 335 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,040 I'm like, oh, my gosh. And she said, now we want you to 336 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,880 pray for us. And I was like, OK, I mean, it 337 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,280 was just crazy. But her deepest longing was to 338 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,960 be a mother. And you know what, Christian our 339 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,440 lives. I kept getting to see her. 340 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,800 I saw some friends weddings. Then I saw her in Dallas. 341 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,520 She ended up getting married and I believe she has three but 342 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,200 maybe four children right now. And she has never had any 343 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,560 reoccurrence of the herpes. She has been able to deliver all 344 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,800 of her babies vaginally. She did not have to have a 345 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,280 cesarean. And she has experienced God as 346 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,240 healer for herself and then reaching out and extending as 347 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,240 healer for her friends. And you know, here's here's the 348 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,400 reason why I'm even talking about this constantly. 349 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320 The theme is that Satan hates women. 350 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,520 He hates us. He hates he hates men and women. 351 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,440 But but there is such an intimate wounding where when 352 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,480 women contract an STD, often it will do so much damage before 353 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000 they even know that they have it. 354 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:39,120 And I want to believe for God's restoration, for legacy, and for 355 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,760 healing for these women where they don't get what they 356 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,720 deserve, but they get what Jesus died to purchase for them. 357 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,840 And I don't, I don't feel like we, we preach enough of God's 358 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,200 mercy in the church. Yeah, I was going to ask you why 359 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,280 you thought there was pushback to even mentioning that God 360 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040 could heal an STD. About me, I think first of all I 361 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,600 was just shocked. They're like wait did she just 362 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,520 say STD this? Was not on our notes. 363 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,280 Yeah, this is not well, it's kind of like, you know, and and 364 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,280 in that moment, I don't know whether it just was a religious 365 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,200 spirit. I don't know whether it was an 366 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,240 idea that listen, listen, those we don't talk about those kind 367 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720 of things in church. Good, good church girls don't 368 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,840 get St. DS. 369 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,480 I don't know what it is. I think it's that whole idea 370 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,120 that no, we think God would judge that we think God would 371 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,080 punish, that maybe you shouldn't actually pray for healings on 372 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,600 something that maybe God wants to punish. 373 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,280 See, because I believe that God wants to heal people in any and 374 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,360 every area where there is brokenness and pain. 375 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,400 I I believe that and. Could even be something it's 376 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,880 like, how do we sustain that? We don't see people don't talk 377 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,240 about it, so we don't even know how to, right? 378 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,920 Maybe benefit of the doubt there. 379 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,880 Yeah, no, absolutely. And you know, I have, I have 380 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,840 consistently seen the faithfulness of God. 381 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,280 Whenever I preach the goodness of God, you know, it's not about 382 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,480 me, it's not about my ability. It's not some unique connection 383 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,920 that I have with God. It was actually just obedience 384 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,760 to him asking me to do something that I actually would have 385 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,520 preferred not to do. But I can only imagine the pain. 386 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,720 Like that was the thing when I'm listening, when I'm listening to 387 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,400 this young girl, when we opened up, when we are listening to 388 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:39,960 this young girl and we hear her shame, her agony, and yes, yes, 389 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,240 without an impact, without an intersection with the mercy and 390 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,560 the love of God, that is going to be her history forever. 391 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,720 But I am believing that in these days coming forward where we're 392 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,160 finding people that have no hope outside of the power of God, 393 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,200 that we're going to actually see more evidence of the power of 394 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,080 God. But if we only preach Jesus as 395 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,440 Savior and we only preach him as good teacher, we're only going 396 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720 to see him as Savior and we're going to only see him as good 397 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560 teacher. So I guess I'm wondering, are we 398 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,480 going to begin to preach Jesus as deliverer? 399 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,160 Are we going to begin to preach Jesus as healer? 400 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,840 Are we going to begin to preach Jesus as wise counselor? 401 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Like does he get to actually come into every area of our 402 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,400 lives? Or do we only isolate areas? 403 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,720 And I've actually seen people get healed that aren't 404 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Christians. And I do believe that God wants 405 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,600 to heal the believers and the unbelievers. 406 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,960 I believe we are very clear in the Bible says the signs are for 407 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,280 yeah, the unbeliever. It invites you to that all. 408 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,880 Yep. And it's like nothing else. 409 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,120 Nothing in science could heal that STD only Jesus, right? 410 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,440 I think this is prevalent to right now too, because I've seen 411 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,040 even in the last few months, such a rise of like the 412 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,600 radicalness within faith, like almost the comfortability. 413 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,280 And I don't want to villainize the church in any way, but where 414 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,840 we're comfortable in faith, we almost don't see as much 415 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,800 movement. But I've seen radical. 416 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,520 So you're saying people that aren't even believers yet get 417 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,800 healed, have encounters, see Jesus and I think we're in a 418 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,560 time of radical redemption. And I, I want to be someone that 419 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,560 one believes that communicates that lives that because what I 420 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,520 see as you tell that story is you took your testimony of what 421 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,200 had been and what it could have been and had faith to believe 422 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,040 for it. And she did the same thing. 423 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,560 And it's just this multiplication effect. 424 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,200 There was even I'm sure you probably saw, but there's like 425 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,960 only fans creators. I think there was one girl like 426 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,560 in the top zero point something percent. 427 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,920 Pretty girl with long red hair. Yes, I believe her name is Nala. 428 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,200 And just like a radical encounter. 429 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,640 And it's so easy to be like, well. 430 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440 Jesus, did you also hear she was a pastor's daughter? 431 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,400 Yeah, I did see that, yeah. That's that's the sad thing. 432 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,160 You're wondering what she was raised. 433 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Was she ever raised with the love of God? 434 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Was she ever given the attention that she deserved as a daughter? 435 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,360 I mean, you wonder what happens? And again, I don't want to 436 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:12,880 accuse her parents, but. But somehow religion fails. 437 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,880 Yeah. We don't know what all goes 438 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,040 behind it, but we do have an idea if we are believing that 439 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,720 Jesus healer, what could be in front of them and I'm challenged 440 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,000 by that. If I don't want to see people 441 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,920 where they are, I want to see them where they could be. 442 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,080 And to he'll hear that still small voice of I want to hear 443 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840 heal my daughters. Yeah, for, for the Holy Spirit 444 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,320 to say, I want to heal you, you know, and, and, and that's, I 445 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,480 think what we need to actually be speaking to people is that 446 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,560 God wants to set you free. He wants to heal you. 447 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,720 He wants to restore your marriage. 448 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,960 He wants to come into, you know, to the place where he gives you 449 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,840 back your voice. I feel like right now, 450 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,560 Christian, so many women feel like they have compromised their 451 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,040 voice of love and nurture and wisdom, and they have embraced 452 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,360 anger and rage and they've lost their ability to speak in any 453 00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:08,080 way that would bring wisdom and healing and strength and 454 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,560 restoration into relationships. And, you know, I think the whole 455 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,400 idea of this fight for females, we want to give women back their 456 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,360 voice and we want to connect them to a place where they have 457 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:23,680 an intimate relationship with Jesus and any shroud of shame is 458 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,840 removed. You know, Christian, being a 459 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,080 woman with the past, it was really important for me to know 460 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,560 what Jesus might say to obviously guilty women. 461 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,520 And I can't think of a more obviously guilty woman than the 462 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,280 woman taken in adultery. And it's crazy when you read 463 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,200 this interaction that these religious leaders, Jesus is 464 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,840 sitting down and he's speaking to a crowd that's all seated. 465 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,440 And these religious leaders grab a woman that I'm going to 466 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,440 imagine was not fully clothed. He, they probably grabbed her 467 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,520 out of the bed of adultery. They left the guy, which that's 468 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,400 another conversation. And they, they stand her up in 469 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,440 front of Jesus and they want him to condemn her. 470 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,720 They're like, hey, Moses said that women taking in adultery 471 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,360 should be stoned to death. What are you, What are you going 472 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,800 to say, Jesus? Like, have you ever like, like, 473 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,960 interacted with that and felt like, what would that moment be 474 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,080 like for that woman and for the other women in the crowd? 475 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,520 I know I mean to to me when I and when I break up with what 476 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,640 broke you, I did a deep dive in my own self and research on 477 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,640 shame and how we get there, why it is so catastrophic of a hole 478 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,640 that we just sit in. And I came to self define shame 479 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,600 as an inability to separate what we've done from who we are. 480 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,680 And I think in that moment, those men saw this woman not for 481 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,400 who she was, not for being female, not for being God's 482 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560 daughter of just said, well, she's done this. 483 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,320 And actually what's interesting to me is it was more about 484 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520 catching Jesus in something. They said they were looking for 485 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800 a way to trap him. Than even what she had done. 486 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,440 So I think, like we're saying with these other stories, is 487 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,360 it's less about what we've done and it's more about what Jesus 488 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:21,360 can do in our lives. Like that's, and I, I always 489 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:25,160 hear the voice of Satan saying, it doesn't matter how many times 490 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,400 you cleanse her, it doesn't matter how many times you 491 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,320 forgive your people, they always go back into bed with the world. 492 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,960 So what are you going to say this time Jesus, Because now 493 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,400 you're in front of the religious leaders. 494 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,840 You've got an audience here and you should condemn her. 495 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,040 And then, you know, we see that Jesus at first is like, I'm, I'm 496 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,240 not even interacting with your accusations, you know, and, and 497 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,280 I feel like we need to be really clear. 498 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,480 And I'm finding myself, we were talking about this yesterday, 499 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,200 even more conscious of the accuser of the brethren Satan. 500 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,640 Like when we partner with accusation, we're partnering 501 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:14,000 with his favorite thing to do, which is accuse us, accuse God, 502 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,480 accuse whatever. So he's trying to trap Jesus 503 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,560 through the religious leaders. It would have been great if it 504 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,160 was through the Romans, but it's through the religious leaders. 505 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,320 He's trying to trap them and, and Jesus just, he just keeps 506 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600 like drawing in the dirt. And I know there's a lot of 507 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,280 people that say, oh, he was saying people's names. 508 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,600 It doesn't say that. So I'm not going to go there. 509 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:39,200 I do believe, I do believe he was thinking back to Adam and 510 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:46,160 Eve, thinking back that he was the only person that could throw 511 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:51,160 a stone and chose not to. And he says, you who are without 512 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,200 sin cast the first stone. And what does it say? 513 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,280 Do you remember what it says? Because it's it means a lot to 514 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,280 me what it says. The the very next word if it 515 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,280 means a lot to you all. That you're saying it says they, 516 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:11,320 they they went away 1 by 1, the oldest ones first. 517 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,640 Which to me, it makes it so obvious that the longer you 518 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,240 live, the more you know you need mercy, the more you are willing 519 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,240 to extend it. So they go away and there's just 520 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,280 Jesus and the woman. And that to me is also a 521 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,760 fascinating moment because I would have been like, Jesus, 522 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,560 thank you. OK, I'm getting out of here. 523 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,080 I'm going to go get take his shoes on, get some clothes off. 524 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,120 But she stands there. And I do believe there's a 525 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:47,240 generation of women who are willing to stand in front of 526 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,240 Jesus, surrounded by an audience of accusers. 527 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:58,400 You know that like they've left. But she stood because they're 528 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,760 tired of hearing what everybody else says Jesus would say about 529 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,880 her. She wanted Jesus to speak 530 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,600 directly to her. And I believe that is Jesus's 531 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,400 greatest longing is to speak directly to his sons and his 532 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,720 daughters, to speak to his brothers and sisters, because 533 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,960 we're in Christ. And when he looks at her, he 534 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,800 says, woman, where are your accusers? 535 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,920 And I would have been like, they're gone, they're gone, 536 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,040 thank you very much. But he looks at her and she said 537 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,880 they're gone. And then he said, what? 538 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,720 Go. And sin no more. 539 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,920 Go and sin no more. So we have a lot of preaching of 540 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,720 you are without sin cast of first stone. 541 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,040 We have a lot of preaching of, you know, I do not condemn you. 542 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,680 But we missed the third part of go and say no more. 543 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,400 And there is a chapter break there, but there's no chapter 544 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,720 break in the interaction. It says when Jesus spoke again, 545 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,000 he said I am the light of the world. 546 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,080 He who walks in me no longer walks in darkness, but has the 547 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,600 light of life. And I feel like he was saying 548 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,760 this is the daughter who's lived her entire life in shadows. 549 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,960 But now she has the power to go and send no more, because she's 550 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,360 going to walk in the light of love and mercy. 551 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,240 And I can only imagine, especially on the topic of 552 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,120 promiscuity, I think when you see that Jesus sees you and 553 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,720 loves you in the way that you've always searched for, that can 554 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,920 never be fulfilled in any, not even a healthy relationship. 555 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,120 It cannot substitute God's love. When you see that, you're face 556 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,200 to face with it. It's like the amount of 557 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,080 transfiguration to me. Like when you see that light for 558 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480 the first time. It is a healing. 559 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,960 It is an imitation to change. It is a ability to separate the 560 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,440 darkness that you felt inside and that you've walked in. 561 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,600 You know, even when I got saved, Christian, you know, John 562 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,040 invited me out on a date when he probably shouldn't have. 563 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,760 But I was crying out. I was crying out to know, jeez, 564 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,600 I didn't even know how to find him. 565 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,800 And when I heard about the love of God and the mercy of God, it 566 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,920 was so irresistible and so compelling to me. 567 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,680 And I was not in a church service. 568 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,440 I was sitting on a bench on Purdue's campus. 569 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,600 And I just said I, I cannot not respond to this love and my 570 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,280 response to a love I did not deserve, my response to a mercy 571 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,880 I did not deserve changed everything. 572 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,280 And I feel like right now we need to be very aware of, yes, 573 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,920 there is this love, there is this mercy, and there is this 574 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,920 power to walk in newness of life. 575 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,400 Yeah. You know, the verse that keeps 576 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000 coming back through all these stories is when it talks about 577 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,520 those that ask, receive and just this invitation to knock. 578 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,600 Like what if we believe that God can heal us, whether it be of 579 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,600 shame or an STD? What if we have the audacity to 580 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,440 believe like you're saying that Jesus is a healer and we go to 581 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,800 him. I think not even thinking, well, 582 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,760 do my friends think this is OK? Did my does my pastor think this 583 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,480 is profitable? Like we have the word in front 584 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,400 of us and I'm so thankful for teachers like we believe that 585 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,800 with this podcast, but also how powerful is it as that model did 586 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,960 just go to Jesus and pray. He'll. 587 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,960 Speak to you, knock, and it will be answered like let's believe 588 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,159 that Jesus wants to heal us and to speak to us, and that he is 589 00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,360 that intimate Father that looks at that woman standing there 590 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,320 directly like he wants to see you, interact with you, heal 591 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,920 you, and speak to you. You know, going back to the 592 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,840 woman taking in adultery. One of my favorite stories is 593 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,840 with Alec. Alec, I don't know why, but he 594 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,159 decided to kick a hole in the wall. 595 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,520 We had just moved into a house is brand new house and he was 596 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,080 like trying to pretend like he was a karate guy and he put his 597 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,560 foot on the wall and I don't know why he thought well now I 598 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,560 need to draw back and just kick a hole in the wall right outside 599 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,160 of our master bedroom and it was just like a perfect drywall like 600 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,360 hole. It just fell down. 601 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,160 We picked it back up and like reached down, got it. 602 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,440 And I was like, so upset. I was like, I can't even believe 603 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,480 that you did this. He's like, I know I didn't know 604 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,200 I was that strong. I was like, no, this is not 605 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920 about you being strong. This is about feet belong on the 606 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,720 carpet. Feet do not belong on walls. 607 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,120 And a couple nights later, I was taking a bath and all the guys 608 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,960 were downstairs watching a show and they heard water pouring out 609 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,560 of a light. And it was a brand new house. 610 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,720 When I drained the bathtub, the, the water poured out of the 611 00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:35,080 light over the sink and I had noticed I'd come down sometimes 612 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,760 in the morning, there was water around the sink. 613 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,160 I'm like, who's what kind of slump kit do I have? 614 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,360 Well, it was coming out of the bathtub. 615 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,120 It would go right into the sink. So we had to call them. 616 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,560 They had to do a, a repair on our ceiling. 617 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:48,960 And I was like, Hey, while you're here, can I show you 618 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120 another drywall repair? And the guy was like, oh, I 619 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,520 totally understand. I've got kids. 620 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,040 Let me just do it. He does it for free. 621 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,000 So I have this big moment with Alec. 622 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,760 I'm like, this was the mercy of God. 623 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,360 Like, this was for free. You got this for free. 624 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,320 Do you see? This is all taken care of. 625 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,840 He's like, yeah. Going great, no more. 626 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,640 Yes, exactly. Go and say no more Alec. 627 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,600 And then I want to say 2 weeks later we're out to dinner and I 628 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,320 get a call from a babysitter and Alec had had put his foot up on 629 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,200 the exact same place again and knocked a hole in the wall. 630 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,960 And I'm like Oh my gosh. And John, I come home from the 631 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,000 dinner. I'm like, how did you do that? 632 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,640 Like you had supernatural provision. 633 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,840 I was going to make you pay for it. 634 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,920 This guy does it for free. You kick a hole in the wall 635 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,800 again. And he looked at me and he said, 636 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,720 mom, I don't think these spankings are working. 637 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:39,360 And I was like, well, you know what I mean? 638 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,320 Like so when there's the fear of judgement doesn't work, but the 639 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,400 mercy and love of God does. And, and we sat down with them, 640 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,360 you know, around here we're like, we're going to, we're 641 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,640 going to have a long term conversation about this. 642 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,440 But I feel like right now we either have people saying to 643 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,440 people, oh, there's no consequence or God's going to 644 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,960 judge you. And somehow we need to 645 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,680 understand that punishment alone isn't working. 646 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,160 And we have a generation that is either afraid of God's 647 00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:15,160 punishment all the time. So then we preach that, oh, 648 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,160 there's no consequence and we need to understand there is 649 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,240 consequence. But when we actually come to 650 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,760 Him, there is mercy and there is healing, right? 651 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,360 So I think that's that's so good. 652 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,640 Now I'm just thinking what age would Azeri be before he kicks 653 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,040 in the holes in? The wall Alec was about 8 or or 654 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,160 9. So I have some time. 655 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,000 You have some time, you can train him, be on the ground. 656 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,880 He's my only son that did things like that. 657 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,120 So while all joking aside, there's absolutely nothing 658 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,920 you've done that will separate you from the love of God that is 659 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,640 in Christ Jesus. See, there's no shame. 660 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:56,800 There's no sin, there's no dirty space or place in your life that 661 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,840 he doesn't already know about, and you can bring it to him. 662 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,600 You don't have to carry it in darkness. 663 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,320 You don't have to carry it in fear. 664 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,320 And just like Christian said, ask. 665 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,880 Ask. If you don't ask, you can't 666 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,800 receive. You know, I'm just, I know it's 667 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,200 scary to ask and I know it's scary to pray, but if you don't 668 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,840 ask, you will never find out. I believe that this is an 669 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,720 imitation. I believe everything that we're 670 00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:29,720 saying in, in all of the, the encouragement is just for him to 671 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,960 invite you to ask him. Ask him to be your Lord and 672 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,280 Savior. Ask him to heal you. 673 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,320 Ask him into your life. We've all lived our lives on our 674 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,360 own and found ourselves in a cesspool or caught in a bed with 675 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,160 strangers. And God is just saying, I don't 676 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,440 condemn you, but stand in front of me and let me speak to you. 677 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,360 Let me wash you so that you can walk free from sin and go and 678 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,040 sin no more. We want to pray for you. 679 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,760 I really do believe in Christian believe. 680 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,800 This is something we've been talking about ever since we did 681 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,920 this podcast. We want to see God's healing in 682 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,680 your life. And maybe you're like, I don't 683 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,360 have an STD That's great, that's awesome. 684 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,440 But we still believe that Jesus is a healer. 685 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,520 Now, sometimes, sometimes people are like, well, he doesn't 686 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,880 always heal well. We don't stop preaching 687 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,920 salvation just because everybody doesn't get saved. 688 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,720 So I don't believe we should stop preaching healing just 689 00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:25,840 because not everybody gets healed. 690 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:31,320 So I believe that when you pray the Word of God, God watches 691 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,400 over His word to perform it. My words are powerless, but 692 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:41,520 God's Word is eternal and it has the ability to recreate, 693 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:47,080 restore, connect things. When we pray God's Word, God is 694 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,240 the one who watches over it. So we've mentioned Psalm one O 3 695 00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,040 a couple times and so I just want to read it to you. 696 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,800 This is the Psalm of David and I love that David, he had 697 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,080 experienced the mercy of God in a number of areas. 698 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,200 Number 1, he actually committed adultery and experienced the 699 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,400 mercy of God. He murdered the the the lady's 700 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,440 husband. OK. 701 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,120 Also experience the mercy of God. 702 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,320 Now God of course would have loved if he didn't do either of 703 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,640 those things and there was some consequence, but he knew how to 704 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,600 lean back in to a relationship with God. 705 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:30,520 So Psalm one O 3 opens up with bless the Lord, O my soul and 706 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,000 all that is within me. Bless His holy name. 707 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,360 See, it isn't just about your mind, it's about blessing the 708 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,720 Lord with your soul. See, our soul is our mind and 709 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,560 will and emotions. Bless the Lord, O my soul and 710 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,040 all this. Bless His holy name. 711 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,440 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 712 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,320 What are those benefits? Who forgives all your 713 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,520 iniquities?
