We are so excited to be back. 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,320 It's been a while, but we're going to jump right in with a 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,120 lot about what's going on with us and what we were planning on 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,920 doing and how it got all sorts of messed up. 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,880 But it's fine because God has a plan and you're going to see 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,640 just that. So we're going to start off in 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,960 prayer and then we're going to jump right in. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,120 So here we go. Lord, Heavenly Father, thank you 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,720 for today. Thank you for all your many 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,400 blessings. Dear God, thank you for this 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,560 podcast. Thank you for this space that me 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,360 and Abby get to come together and talk about you and your 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,520 goodness and your faithfulness. Dear God, we just pray that we 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,720 just honor you with this podcast that we try to glorify your name 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,240 and do all the things that you have set on our hearts to do and 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,760 talk about and just be about. Lord God, we just pray that this 19 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,800 glorifies you. In Jesus name I pray. 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,640 Amen. Amen. 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,280 Amen. We got a lot to catch up. 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,880 We. Got a lot to unpack. 23 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:07,560 I feel like we haven't recorded in a while. 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,400 I feel like we say that every time. 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,840 Yeah. So we only record once a month. 26 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,680 So it's honestly like a catch up with us. 27 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,880 It is, yes. But we were going to go down to 28 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,800 the Potter's house and talk to Miss Cherie about fasting and 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560 just really jump into that because so many of y'all have 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 asked about fasting and it's something that is one of my I. 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,160 Have myself. Yeah, like I and it's so hard to 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,160 explain. Like it's it's a spiritual 33 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,720 discipline that I have and that I partake in, but it's hard to 34 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160 explain it to other people. Yeah, and I feel like in today's 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,440 society most Christians don't practice it anymore. 36 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,480 Like it used to be practiced and especially even pre Jesus terms. 37 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,640 Yeah, but it's something I want to learn more about to myself. 38 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Yeah, as a follower of Christ. And so I was just like, well, I 39 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,400 learned it through her, right? So let's just go straight to her 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,040 and have her like, pour that wisdom into us. 41 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Yeah. And into y'all. 42 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,080 So let's just kind of start with we didn't make it to Miss 43 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,600 Cherise. Yeah, we didn't make it to the 44 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,760 Potter's house, but for the last few weeks, you know, there's 45 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880 been some stuff going on in your life, in Greg's life. 46 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160 And so we're going to touch on that today and really dive deep 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200 and and let Alexis kind of tell you what's been going on in 48 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,600 their life and that answered prayer and how they got there. 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,560 So just kind of tell us what was going on with Greg the past few 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200 weeks. I know, you know, he was sick 51 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,760 and that sort of thing, but I was going to let you kind of. 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,920 Yeah, so I was out of town and then all of a sudden I come home 53 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,160 and Greg just did not feel good. He had told me like he had and 54 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 like down in the bed for the past few days and like he just 55 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,720 didn't tell me while I was out of town because he didn't want 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,040 me to worry about it and all this stuff and. 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Men are not very specific at all. 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,640 No, and you know, some men will say they don't feel good and 59 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:53,880 it's like just the stuff he knows. 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,120 So but no, Greg was down bad. And so I don't know why God just 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,560 placed it on my heart and in my spirit that like the time was 62 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,040 now. And so I was writing in my 63 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,760 journal and I was praying about a lot of things that had been 64 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,920 going on just in my life and in our life and stuff like. 65 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,280 And then at the very end, I was like, God, I really need you to 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280 reveal yourself to Greg. And that's a prayer that I have 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280 been praying for a long, long time. 68 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320 And. Yeah, kind of talk about that. 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,360 And, you know, I know you, we talk all the time, but you know, 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,440 to everyone else, kind of tell us how that prayer life has 71 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,480 looked like. I'm sure it hasn't been easy the 72 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,520 whole time. No, but I know you've been 73 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520 consistently praying about it. And how long have you 74 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,280 consistently been praying about it for now? 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,160 Consistently praying for my husband's salvation for two 76 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160 years. Wow, straight two years. 77 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400 And so I haven't talked about this on the podcast just because 78 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,600 you never want to talk about, you know, your marriage in a 79 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,840 certain light and stuff like that. 80 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,040 But it's definitely been hard. You know, when you are fully 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400 devoting your life to Jesus and then your partner doesn't really 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,360 understand that and like doesn't have that spiritual eyes to see 83 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600 that or spiritual heart or spiritual ears. 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880 Like everything sounds crazy to him, right? 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240 And so like it's. Really, it's a huge life change. 86 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,800 It's for you. And then they're kind of still 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,600 in the same direction as y'all have always been, but you know, 88 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440 you're going another direction and so it can be really 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,200 difficult. I'm sure, definitely. 90 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,040 And so that's one of the biggest things was like I have 91 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,920 consistently now don't get me wrong, like I've gave up 92 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,480 sometimes. Like, that's what I wanted you 93 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,640 to talk about because, yeah, you think, you know, when you've got 94 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,720 a situation going on and you can start to lose faith almost where 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,480 you feel that, you know, God's not working, He's not moving 96 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680 even though he always is. We're the ones that, yeah, you 97 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920 know, don't feel it. And so talk about that a little 98 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,680 bit and how you made it through those times. 99 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Yeah, so I definitely was was continuously praying at certain 100 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,120 points, but then it was like we'd get an argument or he would 101 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400 say something, you know, and it just made it seem like, oh God, 102 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880 like you're not going to reach him, like, you know, and you 103 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,160 feel so hopeless. And I would give up for certain 104 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,920 periods of the time. And that's kind of why it's so 105 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,560 important for friends and family and stuff to be interceding for 106 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,120 you. And so that means, you know, 107 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,120 just praying for other people. Like, just because I stopped 108 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800 praying for a time period, other people were praying on his 109 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,640 behalf and on my behalf. And so that was something that I 110 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,280 have truly been, you know, pouring out is trying to get 111 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,840 Greg's Greg safe. You know, like, I didn't know 112 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,640 what that looked like or how it was going to happen. 113 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,160 But over the years I had tried to stay faithful to that and try 114 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,600 to just stay like steadfast in that. 115 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080 So you knew at this point in time when he was like, OK, I 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,840 really am not feeling well, I'm sick, something's wrong. 117 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,680 You knew like this. Might be it. 118 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880 At that point I had no idea. I was just asking God. 119 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,600 Like pleading to God in my journal. 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,280 I said, reveal yourself in a mighty way, please. 121 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:02,520 Like something that only Greg knows or only something that 122 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,760 like God could do right? Because I've told him my 123 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,520 experiences. I've he's heard my mom's 124 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520 experiences. He listens to the podcast every 125 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320 week. Like he sees and hears of God 126 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,720 doing things, but he's never experienced God doing those 127 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,840 things to him. And so that is something that I 128 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,920 kept wanting to like really, really happen for him. 129 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,160 And at the very end I just said, be bold. 130 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,400 Like I was like, be bold in Jesus name, Amen. 131 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,600 And so for some reason I just rolled over and I was like, 132 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,440 Greg, let's let's read the Bible. 133 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,200 Like let's, let's jump into the word. 134 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,800 And so he grabbed his Bible off the night stand and. 135 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520 Had kind of gotten a little bit more open to it I guess. 136 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,280 During this period, you know, like I'm guessing he just knew 137 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:52,720 he was sick and like he just was interested, you know, like, OK, 138 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,600 so I said open it up to a random spot. 139 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 I talk about this all the time. This is how God speaks to me and 140 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,360 everything else. So I was like, open up to a 141 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,880 random spot. You do it. 142 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,800 Because I knew that if God spoke, it needed to be him 143 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560 opening it because he would have said, aw, you opened it to that. 144 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,080 And so we started reading in Ezekiel 20 and right off the 145 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,960 RIP, it grabbed my attention because it was talking about the 146 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,320 year 7, month 5 and day like 17 or something like that. 147 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,440 And I was like, man, that sounds so close to how long we've been 148 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,760 together. I'm like, that's crazy. 149 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800 I did the math. It was slightly off, but I'm 150 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,960 telling you, like not by much. And so that grabbed my attention 151 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,440 and kind of his too, because we're like, we were talking 152 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,360 about he's like, yeah, that did sound like how long we've been 153 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,560 together. And that was really weird. 154 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,640 And so I just kept continuing to read. 155 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:50,720 And it was talking about a man groaning in pain and like just 156 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,400 being in excruciating pain and just sick and all this. 157 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,440 And we're like, wait, like, that's, that's really, really 158 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,120 crazy, you know? And then Greg had mentioned, you 159 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,040 know, like that he thought that it could possibly be his liver, 160 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,720 like where he was hurting in his stomach. 161 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,720 He was like, it could be my liver or something. 162 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,760 And it started talking about a goat's liver. 163 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,840 And he had just voiced that to me too. 164 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,480 And I was like, oh, my gosh. And then at the end of that, it 165 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,120 was talking about like, how I'm going to take you out of Egypt 166 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280 and place you into a country that I specifically sought out 167 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400 just for you. And so that didn't make probably 168 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760 any sense to Greg. But when I read that, I felt it 169 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,120 in my spirit that he was talking about me. 170 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,760 I even told my mom the very next day, I said, we read this. 171 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,440 And I feel like God's moving me into a new chapter, no matter 172 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,039 what that looks like. I'm not sure what that looks 173 00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:42,559 like, but I feel like I'm moving into a new chapter. 174 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Like last night us reading set it into motion. 175 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,680 And so also that same thing was talking about stomach aches and 176 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,280 stuff like that. And Greg's stomach was hurting 177 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,080 him really bad and having a lot of pain there. 178 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,720 And so that was night 1. And I was like, wow, OK, so then 179 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880 the next day we start, we, I'm like, let's read again. 180 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Yeah, you know, cuz he noticed, he saw for the first time God 181 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,120 spoke to him and he said that he was like, yeah, that is crazy. 182 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,200 Like I just opened up to. A rant. 183 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,760 It wasn't just coincidence. No, it wasn't coincidence. 184 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,480 Like he was like, that's what you mean. 185 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Like when you say God speaks and I was like, exactly like you 186 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,360 were praying about something. I was praying about something. 187 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520 And then God answered us through His word. 188 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,480 And so the next day, I hated that I prefaced this because 189 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,720 before we started reading, I said, hey, I just want to let 190 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120 you know, like God isn't that bold every single day. 191 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,040 And that sounds bad. I know it does. 192 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,640 But like, I didn't want him to get his hopes up, thinking that 193 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560 every time you open the Bible, he speaks that boldly. 194 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,440 And so he proved me wrong. We open up and we started 195 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,720 reading in Jonah. You know, Jonah's running from 196 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,160 God. He's supposed to be going to 197 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Nineveh and all this. He doesn't want to go and he 198 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,840 ends up in a belly again, something about a stomach, and 199 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080 he's running and he ends up in the belly of the whale. 200 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,560 And that was a severe consequence, right? 201 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,160 And so from running from God. And so I was like, Oh my gosh, I 202 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,440 explained it to Greg, like how crazy that story is too, like 203 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,840 all this. And he's like, wow, well then 204 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,480 the next. Door in the Old Testament, yeah. 205 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,120 And remind, like, remember, Greg's just flipping the Bible 206 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,880 open. So this is what I tried to tell 207 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,080 him is like, he could have flipped to, like, numbers. 208 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,680 Yeah. And just, you know, we could 209 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,040 have talked about, like, lineages or building the 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,480 building thing, like, whatever. But he chose these pages. 211 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120 And it was just stuff that was running from God and doing all 212 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,080 this stuff. That correlated to what was 213 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,360 going on in his life currently. Yes. 214 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:40,920 And so then the next day, we're doing it again and we turn to 215 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Job. And, you know, God strips 216 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,160 everything from Job, breaks him down to like, the bare, you 217 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,600 know, bare bones. And it's like, you know, that 218 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840 story. And so I am Lord. 219 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,480 Yeah. I'm like, wow, Greg, this is, I 220 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,880 mean, this is big. This is big. 221 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,640 And so I can see like his spiritual eyes starting to 222 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,560 awaken, like I can see where he's like yearning to hear God's 223 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,320 voice more and more. Like even if I didn't bring up 224 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,800 reading, like he'd be like, are we going to read or, you know, 225 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,840 something like that? And I'm like, oh wow. 226 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,040 So the last night before at. This point in time, he's still 227 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,080 sick. Yeah, he's, he's still sick by a 228 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,480 doctor or anything. My husband does not go to the 229 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,960 doctor whatsoever. So he's going to have to be on 230 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,640 his deathbed for us to go. And so the next night right 231 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,920 before we go to the hospital because he did get severely 232 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,320 sick. And so the not last night, we 233 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,720 opened it up and I'm not even sure where it was. 234 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,080 I have it marked in his Bible, but it was talking about like 235 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,760 how God sent you so many signs but you're still not accepting 236 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,800 what he's saying. And I was like. 237 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,640 Still denying. Like who this is, this is 238 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,960 getting, this is getting there. So the next day we go to the 239 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,160 hospital and we're in the ER and we find a little baby Jesus, 240 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,600 like one of the little tiny plastic ones in his room, like 241 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,840 sitting there just looking at him. 242 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000 And I was like, Oh my gosh, a little baby Jesus. 243 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000 And it's just so sweet because like, he's kept it and it's been 244 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400 a few weeks now. And so like, he still has it. 245 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,840 It's on his night stand. And it's just really sweet 246 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,360 because he's like throughout those like 5-6 days, just 247 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,200 straight, like Jesus was, you know, present. 248 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,280 God was present through every single bit of it. 249 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,120 And that's where he started revealing himself. 250 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,360 And so basically they said, you know. 251 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,200 So he needed pretty severe medical attention at that point 252 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,320 in time. They had to take him to Macon 253 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,080 and get more testing and things like that done because y'all 254 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080 ended up being at the hospital for. 255 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320 We were in the. ER, the ER. 256 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,680 ER itself for like 35 hours yeah so we're like very popular at 257 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,480 this time like everybody knows us, you know, whatever and 258 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,760 y'all. Are waiting to get transported 259 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200 to Macon to get more testing. Done something in itself too, 260 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,720 because there was like no EMS in the area like that could come 261 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720 and take us. That's why we were there so long 262 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,280 and there was a shortage. And then when it got in an 263 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840 accident, it was just like something right after another. 264 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800 And one of the nurses just like begged an EMS when they came in 265 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,400 to drop somebody off. They were like, can you just 266 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,720 please take these people? Like please. 267 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,520 And they did like that's how we get like such a God thing. 268 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,520 And right when she told me she was about to ask, I was like, 269 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,720 we're about to go pray right now. 270 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,600 Like, and you know, it was me, Greg, our my stepson and my 271 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,840 mother-in-law think we're all in the room and like we just start 272 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360 praying about it. Like please, Lord, let us go, 273 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,160 you know. And so we did. 274 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,040 We ended up going and they started running some more tests 275 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,000 and it just was not good. Yeah, basically there was just 276 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120 like a lot going on. I'm not gonna go into too much 277 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,480 detail, but like he was supposed to have a surgery and then they 278 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,040 said that he wasn't able to have the surgery because there was 279 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000 probably an 80% chance that he would die on the table. 280 00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,640 They want to. Cause too many complications. 281 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,640 There was so many complications and they were like, the 282 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920 mortality rate's just too high. We can't do it. 283 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,560 And I'm and I looked at the doctor in the face and I said, 284 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,200 if you can't do that and it has to be done, what options? 285 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,840 Do we have what is going to happen going? 286 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,680 Forward yeah, like how how are we going to resolve this? 287 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,480 And basically like they just blank stare at me and they were 288 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,440 just like there's there's just really not a whole lot. 289 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,600 We're going to have to just run some more tests and see and so 290 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,120 like. I'm sure at that point in time 291 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,520 too, I mean, all of you guys are kind of questioning what's going 292 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,800 on, but how was Greg in that moment? 293 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480 You know, I'm sure that he was kind of worried or, you know, 294 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,360 scared of the results or scared of what was going to go on. 295 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,560 So I don't know how he was able to deal with that as well. 296 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,560 He wasn't doing very well because like, he's very scared, 297 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,640 like, and you know, like men don't get scared a whole lot, 298 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,680 you know, And if they do, they're not vocal about it. 299 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,120 But like at this point, Greg's scared because he sees like his 300 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,360 coloring, like his whole body and everything's aching. 301 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,240 He's looking different. Like he was like really upset 302 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,640 about his physical appearance at this point. 303 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,280 But then also like they're saying they don't know what to. 304 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:06,920 Do. Right. 305 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320 And he's like, Oh my gosh, like, I'm dying, you know? 306 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,120 And so that's a scary place to be, yes. 307 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,400 And you can say what you want, like, you know, oh, I know where 308 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,880 I'm going or all this. But when you're faced with a 309 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,360 situation where you don't know if you're going to live or die, 310 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,840 like that's a scary, scary situation. 311 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,520 And so that's where we were. That's where we were faced. 312 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,920 And so he wasn't doing well. He was really scared about it 313 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,800 and just trying to, you know, stay calm, as calm as he can. 314 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,880 And so that happened well. And it's hard in those moments 315 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:48,400 to take what a doctor is saying to you and realize they are just 316 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,120 that. They are a Doctor Who is a human 317 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,720 who also has errors and doesn't have a say. 318 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,320 So over our life, right? And so it's hard to do that in 319 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,840 context or when you're in that specific moment and in that room 320 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,920 with them to take what they say but not make it your everything. 321 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,120 Does that make sense? Because I've done that. 322 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560 What I mean, I've been in the hospital, you know, with my mom, 323 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,280 other people in those situations. 324 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,880 And you look at the doctor and you hear what comes out of their 325 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,320 mouth. And then you're like, oh, this 326 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,640 is I can't make this everything. I can't make what they just said 327 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960 above what God is going to say for my life or what above what 328 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 He can do for my life, and it's really hard to do that. 329 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,160 Yeah, and I mean, that's, that's where it was like I could kind 330 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,640 of see where he was making it. Like what they said is exactly 331 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,720 what it is. But like, at this point, I've 332 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,760 already watched God reveal himself in a mighty way. 333 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,600 And so like, a lot of terms have already been like things have 334 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,440 happened and stuff has been said and whatever. 335 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,640 And so I'm just like, no, like God's using this for part of 336 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,960 Greg's testimony. And so hopefully we can get him 337 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,520 on here soon. But yeah, so. 338 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,080 They just said that and. Then they left him. 339 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,120 So we're like all the pieces basically. 340 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,840 And for some reason I felt into my spirit to text your dad. 341 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,200 And so like, y'all know me and Abby's been friends for a long 342 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,440 time. Well, Mike is also good friends, 343 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,079 you know, with Greg. And like we've went on vacations 344 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,839 together and done certain things and they know each other pretty 345 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,680 well. They know each other very well. 346 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,680 And so I just in, I just knew in my spirit, I was like Mike, I 347 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,440 texted him, I said, hey, I really want you to come up here 348 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,960 and talk with Greg, pray with Greg. 349 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,520 I think he's really open right now. 350 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,920 I think he's open and he would be, you know, open to receive 351 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,720 Jesus ultimately. Like I think today's the day he 352 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,680 didn't text me back. And it goes like 10 minutes, 353 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,160 right? And then I get a call from him 354 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,280 and I'm like, oh, he read the text. 355 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,280 He's just calling me. And so like he's talking. 356 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,920 And then all of a sudden he was like, yeah, I'm thinking about 357 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,840 riding up there at this point. I still think he's read the 358 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,920 text. And I'm like, OK, and so we're 359 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,680 talking about that. And he was like, do you think he 360 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,520 would be open to pray and me maybe lead him in salvation all 361 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040 this? And I was like, probably. 362 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080 Well, then we get off the phone and like 10 more minutes go by 363 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,080 and he texts me. He was like I literally just 364 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,680 read your. Text. 365 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,120 Yeah, he had not seen it. No, he had not. 366 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:07,120 Seen it? So God literally put it on my 367 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:11,360 heart to reach out to Mike about this and also put it on Mike's 368 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:16,000 heart about Greg. And so it was just, you could 369 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,680 just see the divine moment. It was truly a divine moment 370 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,920 that God had prepared. And so within the hour or so, he 371 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,040 shows up. Yeah, he told me in that moment 372 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,400 because I had talked to him later that night. 373 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,960 He was like, as soon as I got off the phone with her, I went, 374 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,960 OK, OK, Lord, I'm going. Yeah. 375 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800 And he said he just took off. Yeah, he said. 376 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,480 He dropped everything and just went like he knew God was like 377 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,880 prompting him to come. And it was just a beautiful, 378 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,440 beautiful moment because also my stepson was there. 379 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,960 And so for him to be a part of that conversation and 380 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,680 everything, it was just really beautiful. 381 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,800 But I try to like give them their privacy because you know, 382 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,960 like in, in situations like that where I've been praying for it, 383 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,880 I've been pushing for this. Like, I didn't want it to be 384 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,240 like me leading it, you know, So like, I went, went downstairs 385 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,840 for a little bit and when I came back, Mike had just like kind of 386 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,000 asked him. And so he did. 387 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000 He ultimately led him through the Salvation Prayer. 388 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,840 And it was just such a beautiful experience. 389 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,520 It was truly an answered prayer. Well, you're literally 390 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,800 witnessing a miracle and something that you've prayed 391 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,280 for. And that's what's so important 392 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,520 that I hope somebody takes from this episode today is don't give 393 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,800 up. Don't stop believing that God 394 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,360 can move mountains. That's what spoke to me this 395 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,400 morning at church. And I know it was for this 396 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440 episode today because there's somebody out there praying over 397 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080 situation. And I know I am myself and maybe 398 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,600 it's me, but I don't know. There's others praying for 399 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,280 situations and they just feel like it's not going to happen. 400 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,600 But that's because we're putting God in a box and we're we 401 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,880 stopped believing that he can move those mountains. 402 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,560 And he said, I will move those mountains. 403 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,560 And that is what he did. And so when you were in that 404 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,760 moment and you witnessed that miracle, it is the most 405 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,680 beautiful thing you will ever see. 406 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,440 Oh yeah, most definitely. Like it was well, because to 407 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280 like we're thinking about here and now, like we're just 408 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,120 thinking about our timeline. Whatever. 409 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:18,000 God's not on our timeline. He's not even on a timeline. 410 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,760 Like eternity is so big for us to grasp. 411 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,560 Like we can't even. So like he's like, you know, 412 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,800 it's a yes or no or a wait. You know, maybe it's never a 413 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,880 maybe. Like it's a yes, no or a wait. 414 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,600 And so our time isn't always his time, and more, more than likely 415 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 or more than often. And we're so quick to cry wolf. 416 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Oh. Whoa, me happened. 417 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,640 Whoa, me, God, I'm, you know, over here struggling and 418 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,560 suffering and I need this and I need, you know, my prayers 419 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,000 answered or I want it this way. And that's, that's just our 420 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,360 sinful nature getting in the way. 421 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440 And but yeah, that's so, that's so amazing. 422 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,120 So he accepted Christ. Yes, he accepts Christ and then 423 00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,600 that's just the beginning of the miracle. 424 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,480 Like God's already revealed himself. 425 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Now he's saved. And now it's like I'm saved. 426 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,880 Now what? Like truly like he has those 427 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,120 moments where he's like, I think he even asked your dad that day. 428 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:12,600 He was like, well, now what? And your dad's like, you know, 429 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,960 regulations and stay firm. Get to know him. 430 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,360 Yeah, stay firm on this Scripture and this Scripture. 431 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,840 And like, Greg's writing it in his notes and, like, asked me to 432 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,360 send it to him and set up the Bible app. 433 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,720 And it's just like, all of a sudden, it's like a blink of an 434 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,000 eye. Like truly, truly, like his. 435 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,040 His soul already started changing and evolving in just 436 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,240 like 10 minutes. Yeah. 437 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,920 And so he he. Just becomes so much more open. 438 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,760 You just realize I give up. OK, I have. 439 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,280 I want it now. Yeah. 440 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,000 You get to that point where you were desperate and you want it. 441 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,280 Absolutely. And so that night, you know, we 442 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,280 start reading in Galatians and then we start praying. 443 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,040 And like, I've, I'm gonna be honest. 444 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,320 I'll force anybody to do something, OK? 445 00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,280 That's just my personality. I'm gonna do it. 446 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,120 I can't help it. But I've made Greg pray. 447 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:04,680 I'm like, pray, you know, like, And it was just very, you know, 448 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,320 I pray for our health and pray for this. 449 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,760 But that night when Greg prayed? And you mean like praying out 450 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,200 loud? Prayed out loud, Yeah, Yes. 451 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,840 I just wanted to kind of clear. You pray out loud right now, and 452 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560 I hate to be that way, but it's just me and I'm working on it. 453 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,160 I'm working on. It I'm sure you didn't say it 454 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,440 like that. Basically, but not that night. 455 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,360 Not that night. I'm talking about in the past, 456 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:27,280 like when me and him would be like, you know, I'd be trying to 457 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,680 force him to read the Bible or something. 458 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,360 Like I would be like you. Were a Bible proper over his 459 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,360 head. Pray right now and. 460 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,120 It didn't work, no. And so it was just always. 461 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,480 It ain't up to us to save people, no. 462 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,160 No. It's on God's time. 463 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,720 It would always just be very, you know, I'm just cut and dry 464 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,240 and that was it. And so that very first night, I 465 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,440 think I wept so hard that night during the prayer is because I 466 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,040 genuinely heard Greg cry out to the Lord and like, wow. 467 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,720 And you know, not only cry out to him, but thank him for saving 468 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,600 him. Wow. 469 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,200 And at this point, we haven't even met with any doctors or 470 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,680 anything yet. Like he was truly like just 471 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,840 yearning for the Lord, Like thank you for, you know, sending 472 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,880 your son and to dying on the cross and allowing me to be 473 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,840 saved and coming into my heart and all this stuff. 474 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,080 And I'm like. In the hospital. 475 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,280 In the hospital, I'm like. Yeah, I mean, you still can have 476 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,360 that thankfulness in your heart when you really receive him. 477 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,040 Yes. And so I was like, wow, like I 478 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,240 truly was just moved. And so the next morning we wake 479 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080 up and Greg's like, I slept amazing last night. 480 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,760 Like I slept and mind you, we're in the hospital, like people are 481 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,280 coming and going and stuff. But Greg is like, I slept 482 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,000 amazing last night. And that just showed me the 483 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,280 Prince of Peace, like truly in the in the midst of the storm, 484 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,520 he got to sleep peacefully because he accepted Christ. 485 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,960 And that was the first night that he accepted Christ and been 486 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,920 able to sleep and just have have that assurance that, like, if 487 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,200 something does happen right now, like, I know where I'm going, 488 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,800 you know? And it was just, that was a 489 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,080 whole another beautiful thing. It was a big visual for myself. 490 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,200 Yeah. You know, I have spiritual eyes 491 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,880 in this situation. So I'm seeing things in a whole 492 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520 different light. Well, the doctors come in that 493 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,360 morning. Because through this, your faith 494 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,320 is growing. Yes, absolutely, absolutely. 495 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,920 No doubt about that. Well, the doctors come in the 496 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,880 next morning and mind you, they just told us yesterday we can't 497 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520 do surgery. There's nothing we can really do 498 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,720 right now. We're just going to have to do 499 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,400 this, this and this. And they're like, hey, doesn't 500 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,800 look like you really need the surgery. 501 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,680 We're like what? Like we did your blood work and 502 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:38,200 it looks better and what you needed surgery with. 503 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Like it doesn't really look like that anymore. 504 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,240 It might resolve itself on its own. 505 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,280 It might. Resolve itself and all this and 506 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,640 we're just like, wow, like what? You know, like how big of a 507 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 miracle is that? And I remember as soon as the 508 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800 doctor walked out and left, I looked at Greg and I said, do 509 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,160 you see the miracle? You know, because he just accept 510 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,920 Christ and now you got a completely different prognosis 511 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,120 that you had the day before. So it's like, do you see it? 512 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,080 And he looked at me. He was like, yes, God did that. 513 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,960 And so I'm like, Oh my gosh, like he got to experience him in 514 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,840 such a big way right off the RIP, you know? 515 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,560 And so that was just something that was so. 516 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280 It really stood out to him. Yes, and it. 517 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520 Just takes you back to when you finished your prayer about a 518 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,120 week before and you said be bold and everything was for him. 519 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,720 And, and sometimes God knows us and he knows what it's going to 520 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,280 take to make us move too. And so I think every step along 521 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,560 the way, he knew what Greg needed to get there. 522 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,400 Absolutely. And so that was just the 523 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320 beginning of, I mean his new life. 524 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:53,760 And so he's made so many changes within the two week time span. 525 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,400 We're reading so they let you go yes. 526 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,160 So after that, y'all, y'all kind of got that prognosis and then 527 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,960 basically it was follow-ups with, you know, the next doctor 528 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,040 or specialist on this issue and they kind of were able to 529 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,240 discharge you guys. Yeah. 530 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,920 So they were like, there's nothing further we can really do 531 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,360 here. Some of the problems that he's 532 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:19,360 having should resolve itself, but you need to start going to 533 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:21,560 some specialists and see some stuff like that. 534 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,680 And so in that time span, we have kind of gotten some rough 535 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,080 news and we're trying to follow up with that. 536 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,960 And I'll definitely tell y'all more once I find out more. 537 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000 And Greg says that I can, but there's some stuff. 538 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,720 And we're just now getting started with his health and this 539 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,920 new journey and this new way of life. 540 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,080 But ultimately it's, it's lighter, it's brighter, even 541 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,840 though we have this huge, you know, mountain in front of us. 542 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,880 Like we know now that God can move this mountain or he's going 543 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,200 to help us cross this mountain or go over this mountain. 544 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,080 Like it might not move completely, you know, out of the 545 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,360 way, but he's going to be there with us through it. 546 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,400 And so that was such a beautiful thing too. 547 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,680 I keep saying it's a beautiful thing, but really this whole 548 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,800 story is just so beautiful. It is like I've been talking 549 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,640 about writing a book, and I think I might write a book about 550 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,720 my husband because I like the story's just so good. 551 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,200 But you know, we talk about those mountains and think about 552 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,840 the mountain the past two years that y'all were going through 553 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,280 and you know, yes, there is another mountain, but it seems 554 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,440 like such a smaller mountain on this side with him on your side. 555 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,600 And you know, it's like those mountains don't ever stop, but 556 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,760 they're not really supposed to because they are what ultimately 557 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,720 build our faith and build our strength and trust in the Lord, 558 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,160 right? So they don't mountains don't 559 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,480 stop, but you just learn that with him, they are so much 560 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,760 easier to go through and you have that peace. 561 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,520 So that's so cool that he's, you know, saved. 562 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,800 Now. Y'all are kind of on that track. 563 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080 So y'all are kind of doing it live together. 564 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Now. What does that look? 565 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,240 Like, that's just a little crazy too, because like, I've kind of 566 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 been open about it. I actually cried about it on an 567 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,640 episode. And probably no one even really 568 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,400 understands what I was talking about when I said it. 569 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,440 And I just said that I wasn't being the person that I really 570 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,000 needed to be. And I was gone 24/7. 571 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,600 Like just going to church and trying to stay busy and plugging 572 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,440 myself in places. And just in two weeks, I'm like, 573 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,880 I want to be home with my husband. 574 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,480 Like I want to do this life with him, like all this. 575 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,200 And it's just a lot different now. 576 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,040 Like God's having to show me how to be the wife that I've have 577 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,800 been longing to be. And it's, it's a growing 578 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,880 experience for sure, because I'm like, you know, I've been 579 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,200 running to church and doing all this stuff and getting plugged 580 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,560 in, but it's like now I need to learn how to be still, you know, 581 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,400 And so it's been an adjustment period for sure. 582 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,880 But like, we've been reading together and that's just so 583 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,560 awesome to like, like to digest what we read together and get to 584 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,080 see his with, like, see his perspective with a fresh eye. 585 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,040 It's like to watch scales fall off his eyes is so beautiful. 586 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,880 Yeah. And like it really is, because. 587 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,040 That's not the word of the day. Beautiful. 588 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,680 Actually, this this episode might just be called beautiful. 589 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,960 No, but it just has been something that I've longed for, 590 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,800 right? And it just has been something 591 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,880 that I wanted to be able to discuss and him to understand 592 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,200 that I'm not crazy. OK, Like I'm crazy about the 593 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Lord, but I'm not physically crazy. 594 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,720 Like the stuff that I say really does make. 595 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,040 Sense we're mentally crazy well. A little bit, you know, but. 596 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,080 We're all a little mentally crazy on this. 597 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,960 It's. Just nice to be able to like see 598 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,840 eye to eye about things now. Like in just two weeks you can 599 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,200 see like his spirit is different. 600 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,640 Like, I don't know, it's just, yeah, it's just different. 601 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,320 No, it is when, especially when you read the word together and 602 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,640 then you start a discussion or like every morning Dexter 92A 603 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,640 devotion and we have a discussion about it. 604 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,800 You know, where are you at on your viewpoint on that? 605 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,440 What do you see, you know, as far as what we just learned 606 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,320 about or talked about or what the word is saying for our life? 607 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,640 And just to try to find common ground. 608 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Yeah, man, to be under the umbrella of Christ as a married 609 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,880 couple and find that common ground up under him. 610 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,080 I don't know. For me, I've never felt closer 611 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440 to my husband and it really is that oneness. 612 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,480 It's like the Trinity of you and him, your husband and then God 613 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,720 himself. So it's just a different place 614 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,600 to be in. It's really, it's not easy to 615 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,360 get there because you have two different opinions, two 616 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600 different people, two different walks of life, how they got 617 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,520 there in that walk of life. But when, when he gives you that 618 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,320 same vision or gives you that common ground to meet on, or 619 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,680 you're open to meet on in that common ground, what God can do 620 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,640 with both of you and how He can bring you guys together, it is 621 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,720 beautiful. There it is. 622 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,120 No, but really, when you're saying that like we have been 623 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,680 married for over three years now and I just feel like we're 624 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,040 closer now. Yeah, within the last two weeks, 625 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,760 the day that he got saved or honestly for probably the very 626 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:37,240 first day that God revealed himself in Ezekiel, like that 627 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880 felt like really we walked into a whole nother chapter. 628 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,000 Like even before we knew anything that was going on, our 629 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,080 relationship felt different. Like, maybe not to him, like he 630 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,280 probably thought I was still crazy and all the stuff at that 631 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,520 point, But to me, like, I genuinely it like a light switch 632 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,760 turned on and it was just like, man, like I love him. 633 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,080 I want to be with him. I want like, I want us to put 634 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,040 God first. Like all this like stuff that I 635 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,560 had been praying for and now like, it was just like right 636 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,440 there at my fingertips. Yeah. 637 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,880 I'm like, Oh my gosh, I thought I wanted this. 638 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,760 But now it's even better than what I thought that it would be 639 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,360 like. And that was something that I 640 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,160 struggled with many times before, you know, in the past 641 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,520 two years where I'm like, God, I just don't see how it's ever 642 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,040 going to be possible. Like, I don't, I don't see how 643 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:31,680 you can move and fix this and be able to not fix this, but like, 644 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,400 you know, like help our marriage. 645 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,680 Like I just don't get it. Because what you're feeling in 646 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,000 that moment, you don't know how to turn that off. 647 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,720 Yeah. And turn off those feelings of 648 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,960 that separation where, Oh my gosh, I'm not even happy in this 649 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,480 moment. How is it gonna get to this 650 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,720 point where I'm just overfilled with love and overfilled with 651 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,160 compassion for this person? And if you're in that place, 652 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,000 like what you're saying, you've been because you had kind of 653 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,720 been on two separate paths. But that's just our small 654 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,280 mindedness, you know? And it's so funny that we cannot 655 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,400 concept or get the concept of what God really can do, changing 656 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,680 even your emotions about a certain situation. 657 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,600 So that's super cool to know that he did that for you and He 658 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,280 could do it for others too. Absolutely, absolutely. 659 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,960 And just even then my, my stepson being in the room with 660 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,720 that and be able to watch his dad, you know, like. 661 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,960 Yeah, I want to touch on that a little bit because it is a 662 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,600 trifecta. Yeah, You it starts with one 663 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,960 person and it is like a domino effect. 664 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,880 And that is what is so cool to me is I cannot wait to see how 665 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,240 this pans out because I know it doesn't finish with him it. 666 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,400 Does it's crazy because we talked about this in church this 667 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,160 morning where it's not an addition, it's a multiplication. 668 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,600 So like, you know, we don't want to share the gospel with one 669 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,240 person and it's stop with we want to share the gospel with 670 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,360 one person and then that that good news be planted in their 671 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,120 hands and then they tell other people. 672 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,120 And so to be able to get my husband to this side, like, 673 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,280 thank you, Jesus, such an answered prayer. 674 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,120 But to be able to watch the lives that he's going to touch 675 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,760 with his testimony is going to be so powerful. 676 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,520 And I guess this is like the first time, like I've heard 677 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,040 people say, like, you know, my stories touch them or this 678 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,280 podcast has touched them, but like, to actually witness as 679 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,040 someone, you know, have the fruit, I guess the fruit of the 680 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,639 prayers that I have been praying and stuff like that come to 681 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,120 life. Like, it's a whole different, 682 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,560 like, feeling. Yeah. 683 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,480 I guess I don't know how to make that make sense. 684 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:49,320 Yeah, no, I think what I think for one, what is so crazy about 685 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,320 it is because I pray for people all the time. 686 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,480 All the time. I'm praying for people to give 687 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,800 their heart to the Lord save them, Lord change them. 688 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,240 Save them, Lord, change them, like repeatedly. 689 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,400 But after I finished that prayer, I never imagined. 690 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,800 Or go to a place of what is it gonna take? 691 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,360 Yeah. What does life look like getting 692 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,440 them to that place? Does that make sense? 693 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,920 Yeah. Because there are going to have 694 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,760 to be things that take place that happen to get them there. 695 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,720 Absolutely. Most of the time, you're not 696 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,640 gonna just wake up one morning and go, Yep, Yep. 697 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,040 Jesus, here I am. But when I'm praying for that 698 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120 person, because I've been praying for Greg and y'all's 699 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,520 marriage for a really long time. I mean, I tell you sometimes, 700 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,320 but I don't tell you all the time, but most every morning I'm 701 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,560 doing my makeup. Like whatever time I'm doing my 702 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,600 makeup, I really get in the morning listening to music. 703 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680 I'm praying for y'all. It's been like a morning thing 704 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,720 for me. But most of the time when I'm 705 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:50,520 praying those prayers for people and maybe you too, I don't ever 706 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,720 think Greg's going to end up really, really sick one day. 707 00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,760 And this is the situation he's going to be in. 708 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,640 And this is how he's going to find the Lord. 709 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,280 And this is how he's going to finally give it up. 710 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,120 I don't ever go there because it's hard to imagine what, 711 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,440 what's going to happen in somebody's life to bring them to 712 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,480 the Lord. And a lot of times it's hard to 713 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,560 go there because we don't know what's going to cause it and, 714 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,640 and how they are going to get there because it can be a heavy 715 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,720 burden in a sense to think if you would have known prior to 716 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,160 that. I mean, this is what we're about 717 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,840 to have to go to or go through. It's just a heavy burden to 718 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,360 carry. But there's always a plan to get 719 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,840 somebody there to him. It's just we don't ever usually 720 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,600 know what that's going to take. But that doesn't mean to quit 721 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,680 praying. That means to pray harder. 722 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,200 Well, that's one of the things too, is like when you're praying 723 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,120 for God's will to be done. That's, that was ultimately 724 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,200 God's will to be done. Not that he like punished Greg 725 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,720 in any way, but he allowed that to happen to Greg to bring him 726 00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:51,640 to that. And I think so many times were 727 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,880 like, Oh my gosh, God made this happen to me. 728 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,200 Like he forced this to happen in my life, blah, blah. 729 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,280 He allowed it because anything that happens. 730 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,320 On But it was ultimately our choices that brought us there. 731 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,280 Most of the time it is our choices that bring us to that 732 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,920 point in our life where we're looking up at him and saying out 733 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,440 there man. Yeah. 734 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,560 But at the same time, like he allowed it. 735 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,560 And so the reason he allows things is so that you can turn 736 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640 around and give it. Realize who it belongs to. 737 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:25,600 Yeah. And you know, after I just said 738 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,080 that that's exactly what the doctor told me when I was 739 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,880 talking to her at the camp and was talking about the fertility 740 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,680 thing and all that. And so I was just like she said, 741 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,200 you know, God sometimes gives us problems so we can turn around 742 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,320 and give them to him. And I was like, Oh my gosh. 743 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,480 And that stuck with me because I, I even wrote that in my 744 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,720 journal the next day and I was like, God, here I am giving it 745 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,000 back to you. Like me and my husband aren't 746 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,320 conceiving. I really want my baby here. 747 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,040 Like, you know, and so that's so crazy. 748 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,560 Just come full circle. And it's like the same thing's 749 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,840 happening to Greg. Like here we are you. 750 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,400 Here's the cards you've been dealt. 751 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,440 Give them back to God and let him sort it. 752 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,120 There's something that you don't need to worry about and deal 753 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,000 with and doubt or anything like, and now him having like that 754 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,560 childlike faith. And if he hears this, he's going 755 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,480 to be you just call me a child. That's not what I meant. 756 00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:17,160 It just meant like, you know, children are so eager to learn, 757 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,440 you know, like it's sudden joke. Like she's, she wants to learn 758 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,080 all this. She wants to do this, like, 759 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,760 whatever. And so that's what it feels like 760 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,640 when you come on this side of Jesus, like you're like a 761 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,400 sponge. You just want to learn and learn 762 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,760 and learn. And that's so beautiful to me, 763 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,240 you know, because he has those fresh eyes to see things clearly 764 00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,000 now. And like last night it was 765 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,760 getting kind of late and he was like, when are we going to read? 766 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,040 And I'm like, Oh my gosh, like, give the book, get the Bible, 767 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,080 babe. Like, let's go, you know? 768 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,560 And it's just so crazy to see like how even the smallest 769 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,000 prayers of us reading together has also come into fruition and 770 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,520 stuff. So yeah, and I'm sure y'all feel 771 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,200 closer than ever. I'm sure even himself. 772 00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:00,400 Yeah, so I guess as we begin to close, like one of my takeaways, 773 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,160 usually I leave this thing so I'm just gonna do it myself. 774 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,000 But I guess one of my biggest takeaways would be like, don't 775 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,440 give up. Like even when life seems so 776 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,360 hard and like seem like you know everything just felt like so 777 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,600 chaotic and like me and my husband we're living almost 2 778 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,840 separate lives and all this. And a lot of people probably 779 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,480 didn't know that just because you know, you're, you just 780 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,880 don't. You don't want to put your 781 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,080 business out there all the time for everybody. 782 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,800 And you know that that is something like it's hard because 783 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,880 I've wanted to be so transparent on here. 784 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,400 And it's just something that you don't really want to, you know, 785 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,280 air out. But at the same time, like as 786 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,680 soon as this happened, I instantly knew I was like, I 787 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,480 want this to be an episode right off the RIP because of how big 788 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,640 of an answered prayer this has been for me. 789 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,040 Like truly to see God's miracle just unfold right in front of my 790 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,000 own eyes. It was just so amazing. 791 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,160 And so my biggest thing would be like continuously pray for those 792 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,560 people. Like don't give up even when 793 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000 you're like, I don't know what it looks like for me and my 794 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,160 husband to go to church together. 795 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,080 I don't know. I could never even picture my 796 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,080 husband serving in a ministry or doing this or doing that. 797 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,040 Like I used to have those doubts consume me to make me believe. 798 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,880 That it's not going to happen because Greg didn't seem like 799 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,720 really that type of person or whatever. 800 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,600 And now I'm like, we went to church together and all this 801 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,640 stuff. And I'm like, this is literally 802 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,200 what I thought would never happen. 803 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,240 And the reason it did is only because of God. 804 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,440 Like, not because of anything I did, not because anything that I 805 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,240 said to him, it was truly because he experienced God in a 806 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,560 mighty, mighty way. And so, like, if you're 807 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,880 struggling, you know, like continuously praying, make sure 808 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,800 you have people in your corner interceding for you and being 809 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,240 able to pray for them. And, you know, just don't give 810 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,920 up. I know that's a lot easier said 811 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,840 than done. Like I gave up many of times, 812 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,840 but then I would start right back, you know, like, and so 813 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,000 that that's happened, but don't stay in it. 814 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,600 Be like, Nope, I'm completely done. 815 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,240 Yeah. And yeah, that's something that 816 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:11,240 I would really hope that someone took away from this from on my 817 00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,360 end. I know I they sang a song this 818 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:19,880 morning and it had me in tears crying because it is so true so 819 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,800 many times throughout my walk that I get in this place and 820 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,960 they sang the song more than able by Elevation Worship. 821 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,160 And it's starts off saying, when did I start to forget all of the 822 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,560 great things that you did? When did I throw away faith for 823 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,400 the impossible? How did I start to believe you 824 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,200 weren't sufficient for me? Why do I talk myself out of 825 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,720 seeing miracles? I do that so much lately. 826 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:52,360 I feel like maybe I'm just in a season, but he is still 827 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:57,440 performing miracles every single day and I can't lose hope and I 828 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:02,040 can't lose faith of that. And seeing this happen with Greg 829 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:08,520 has just reminded me of that and reminded me to be consistent. 830 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,480 Don't quit praying. Don't forget who I am praying 831 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,680 to. That's the most important thing. 832 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,400 I can't forget who I'm praying to. 833 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040 He is the creator of the universe. 834 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,840 He knows every single hair on our head. 835 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,920 He created us, everything around us, everything that we look at, 836 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,160 everything that we see. And I can't forget who I'm 837 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,840 praying to and what he is in control of. 838 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,840 And that's what I don't want to lose hope and lose faith over. 839 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,120 And so it's just so cool seeing this happen and seeing that 840 00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:43,320 miracles are possible, they are still happening every single 841 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,000 day. And not to give up no matter 842 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,760 what, Don't give up because he's still running the show. 843 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,440 And even like when you do see those miracles, right, like 844 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,880 don't allow the enemy to have a foothold in your life to make 845 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,160 you believe like, oh, that was a coincidence or, you know, this 846 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,800 happened. And because I mean, as soon as 847 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,680 as soon as the day ended, I'm like, well, maybe they just 848 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,400 didn't read them scans, right? You know, like I truly at one 849 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,200 point was trying to talk myself out of it and I was like, that 850 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,120 is the enemy. That is from the enemy. 851 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400 We've got to get good at shutting those down. 852 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,120 But knowing your word, or not your word, His word, Knowing His 853 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:29,160 word and being able to recognize the enemy's lies, we'll save you 854 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,400 from so much. But you've got to be in your 855 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,040 work. You've got to know like how 856 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,080 those miracles happen and remembering what he's done. 857 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,760 Yeah, Jesus is so good. He's so much better than we ever 858 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,120 deserved. And he gives us so much more 859 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,160 grace than we ever deserved. And he still gives us that grace 860 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:54,080 every single day that we wake up and fall short so, and we need 861 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,640 it. Absolutely. 862 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,800 Well, girl, I think that's about it. 863 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,960 That was good. That was good. 864 00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,600 All righty guys.
