0:42

Hey, y'all.

0:43

Welcome to

0:43

blessed to be ends. I'm your

0:46

cousin and Christ won trial

0:46

event. And this is bougie Bible

0:51

study. Yes, I know, I've been

0:51

gone for two months, I said that

0:57

we were going visual. And the

0:57

beginning of March March 1 was

1:00

the last episode that I dropped

1:00

from our series that we were

1:05

into. And now I said that I was

1:05

going visuals. So excuse me,

1:12

you're going to be lying

1:12

sometimes, because I'm not

1:15

perfect. And I just want you to

1:15

realize that I'm not perfect. So

1:20

I don't expect anybody else to

1:20

be perfect. But the way my life

1:24

is set up, I was not really

1:24

ready or prepared to jump into

1:28

the visual. I don't know why I

1:28

was so nervous. I don't know why

1:33

I was scared. But I'm not going

1:33

to be scared anymore. I'm going

1:38

to shake this villain off. And

1:38

I'm actually going to start

1:42

today to go visual into our new

1:42

series of becoming a Christian.

1:48

Now, if you are new here, I'd

1:48

like to welcome you to the best

1:51

Bible study class that you will

1:51

ever come across. If you are not

1:55

new here, you already know how

1:55

we get down as we dive into the

1:57

Bible, and read a chapter a

1:57

week, or month, or any other

2:01

time. And we just get into the

2:01

stories of the Bible. And we

2:05

realize how important the Bible

2:05

is, the stories of the Bible are

2:10

and how in debt the word could

2:10

be, and how vital and essential

2:16

it is for our lives to live

2:16

every day and to carry our lives

2:20

with Jesus, our anybody that's

2:20

connected to us in ways that we

2:26

just want to know the answer, we

2:26

want to understand we want to

2:29

have a relationship with God.

2:29

But we don't know how we want to

2:32

know the stories of the Bible

2:32

without feeling convicted,

2:35

condemned or being assaulted by

2:35

people and their ways of telling

2:40

you how you should be or how you

2:40

should act or how you should

2:43

dress or how you should talk to

2:43

God or interact with God. And

2:46

you know, just trying to put

2:46

Christianity over your life and

2:50

you really just want a

2:50

relationship with God, then you

2:53

are here at the best podcast

2:53

ever. Again, my name is Marcia

2:57

Lovett. I'm your cousin through

2:57

Christ. And I'm honored here to

3:01

be here to read the Bible. Of

3:01

course, anybody can pick up the

3:05

Bible and read the Bible. It is

3:05

your choice. I just make it easy

3:10

for people who don't want to

3:10

pick up the Bible, and just kind

3:13

of tune in and listen and see

3:13

that you know, we are all

3:17

connected. And how important the

3:17

Bible is a is for our lives,

3:21

just like the stories of the

3:21

Bible, the Word of God and just

3:25

get an in depth understanding of

3:25

how God works and how he works

3:30

within us. So I'm not going to

3:30

do too much ranting. When we

3:34

left off, we were literally what

3:34

40 weeks, 42 weeks or something

3:41

like that. We left off at the

3:41

end of 42 weeks. So we already

3:47

covered like 42 stories of the

3:47

Bible. But the way that my Bible

3:51

is set up, it has a tracker

3:51

here. And it gives me passages

3:59

to follow and things like that.

3:59

And since we're visual, I'm

4:02

gonna go ahead and show you guys

4:02

how this works. So all of that

4:08

was checked off because we

4:08

covered all of these episodes.

4:11

And now we're going to jump into

4:11

let me see if you guys can see

4:14

this. Now we're going to jump

4:14

into this side. And yes, I have

4:17

these episodes marked off, but

4:17

I'm gonna go ahead and start

4:20

from the beginning. Because I

4:20

have questions and after reading

4:28

a story and reading certain

4:28

stories and going back in and

4:31

reading them again and going

4:31

back in and read them again and

4:34

just having God's words just

4:34

resonate into my spirit and

4:38

really speak to me. There are

4:38

some things that I do question

4:42

about stories, but I don't

4:42

question God. I just question

4:45

the people who wrote the stories

4:45

or who took out the time to

4:49

deliver the Bible. I have

4:49

questions for that because a lot

4:52

of it is man written. And so

4:52

when I read over Genesis chapter

4:57

three, because that is the story

4:57

that we'll be covering Today,

5:00

Genesis chapter three, I have

5:00

some questions saying a lot. And

5:04

I was kind of questioning what

5:04

was being said to me. And so

5:09

last night when I went into my

5:09

prayer closet and I prayed and I

5:12

shared my joyful tears of just

5:12

knowing that God is working on

5:16

my behalf and things like that,

5:16

and I just asked him to deliver

5:19

a message that resonates to his

5:19

children, his children, okay, so

5:24

if you are not guys, children,

5:24

and I'm not talking to you move

5:26

along, okay? So I'm solely

5:26

talking to his children, the

5:30

ones that want to have a

5:30

relationship with Him, the ones

5:32

that want to know him or her

5:32

however you identify your God.

5:38

So that's what I asked for. And

5:38

so today, I'm going to jump in

5:41

and we are covering Genesis

5:41

chapter three, we already

5:44

covered Genesis chapter three, a

5:44

while back, but we're going to

5:49

cover it again. Okay, so grab

5:49

your Bibles, grab your nose,

5:53

grab a pass, whatever it is, you

5:53

need to grab, or you can just

5:56

slowly listen along and just

5:56

follow like that. If you are new

6:02

here, you can check out any

6:02

episode before on a podcast is

6:04

the first visual episode. So I'm

6:04

really excited to see where God

6:10

is going to take me and just

6:10

this whole podcast and everybody

6:14

that's related to me through

6:14

Christ and how we're moving in

6:17

life. So again, my name is

6:17

Marcia LaVette. I am your host,

6:22

and I've been gone. But I'm

6:22

back. And I'm excited to jump

6:26

into this episode before I head

6:26

off to work. We are covering

6:32

Genesis chapter three. So grab

6:32

your Bible, I have my Bible here

6:35

and I'm ready, I have my glasses

6:35

too, because the Grow came see,

6:40

and is very essential for me to

6:40

know that I'm reading the Bible

6:43

correctly. So if you are ready,

6:43

I am to Genesis chapter three.

6:51

The title of our title of our

6:51

episode today is the first sin

6:59

creates a need. The first sin

6:59

creates the need. So we're going

7:05

to get into it. I went over it.

7:05

I looked into it. I read it

7:10

before, but I'm gonna go ahead

7:10

and read it again. So if you

7:15

already I am. And here we are

7:15

Genesis chapter three. It's

7:21

called the fall. All right. So

7:21

now the serpent was more crafty

7:27

than any of the wild animals the

7:27

Lord God gave the Lord God had

7:31

made. He said to the woman, Did

7:31

God really say you must not eat

7:37

from any tree in the garden? The

7:37

woman said to the serpent, We

7:41

may eat fruit from the trees in

7:41

the garden. But God did say you

7:45

must not eat fruit from the tree

7:45

that is in the middle of the

7:49

garden, and you must not touch

7:49

it, or you will die. You will

7:56

not certainly die, the serpent

7:56

said to the woman, For God knows

8:00

that when you eat from it, your

8:00

eyes will be open. And you will

8:04

be like God knowing good and

8:04

evil. When a woman saw that the

8:09

fruit of the tree was good for

8:09

food and pleasing to the eye,

8:14

and also desirable for gaining

8:14

wisdom. She took some and ate

8:20

it. She also gave some to her

8:20

husband who was with her and he

8:24

ate it. Then the eyes of both of

8:24

them were open. And they

8:30

realized they were naked. So

8:30

they so they sue fig leaves

8:36

together and make coverings for

8:36

themselves. Then a man and his

8:40

wife heard the sound of the Lord

8:40

God as he was walking in the

8:43

garden in the cool of the day.

8:43

And they hid from the LORD God

8:48

among they here they hid from

8:48

the LORD God among the trees of

8:53

the garden. But the Lord got

8:53

called to the man, where are

8:56

you? He answered, I heard you in

8:56

the garden. And I was afraid

9:01

because I was naked, so I hid.

9:01

And he said, Who told you that

9:07

you were naked? Have you eaten

9:07

from the tree that have

9:11

commanded you not to eat from?

9:11

The man said, The woman you put

9:16

here with me? She gave me some

9:16

fruit from the tree and I ate

9:20

it. Then the Lord God said to

9:20

the woman, what is this have you

9:25

done? The woman say, the serpent

9:25

deceived me and I ate it. So the

9:33

Lord assets of the surfeit

9:33

because you have done is CARSTAR

9:38

you above all livestock and all

9:38

wild animals. You will crawl on

9:43

your belly and you will eat does

9:43

all the days of your life and I

9:47

will put enmity between you and

9:47

a woman and between your

9:51

offspring and hers. He will

9:51

crush your head and you will

9:54

strike his heel. To the woman he said I will make

9:57

your pains and childbearing very

10:01

severe, with painful labor, you

10:01

will give birth to children.

10:06

Your desire will be for your

10:06

husband, and he will rule over

10:10

you. To Adam He said, Because

10:10

you listened to your wife and

10:15

ate fruit from the tree about

10:15

which I commanded you, you must

10:18

not eat from it. Curse is the

10:18

ground because of you. through

10:23

painful toil, you will eat food

10:23

from it. And other days of your

10:27

life, it will produce thorns and

10:27

thistles for you, and you will

10:31

eat the plants of the field. By

10:31

the sweat of your brow, you will

10:35

eat your food until you return

10:35

to the ground since from it you

10:39

were taken for death, you are

10:39

into dust you will return into

10:44

dust you will return. Adam named

10:44

his wife Eve because she will

10:51

become the mother of all the

10:51

living. The Lord God made

10:56

garments of skin for Adam and

10:56

his wife and clothe them. In the

11:00

Lord God said, The man has now

11:00

become like one of us, knowing

11:05

good and evil, he must not be

11:05

allowed to reach out his hand

11:09

and take also from the tree of

11:09

life and eat and live forever.

11:14

So the Lord God banished him

11:14

from the Garden of Eden to work

11:18

the ground from which he had

11:18

been taken. After he drove the

11:22

man out, he placed on the east

11:22

side of the Garden of Eden

11:25

cherubim, and a flaming swore,

11:25

flashing back and forth to Garth

11:30

away to the tree of life. And as

11:30

the end of our chapter, and as

11:35

we go into debt, the guided tour

11:35

of Genesis three breaks down to

11:40

help me understand exactly what

11:40

is the story, saying to me, what

11:46

is it saying? It could say

11:46

something different to you, just

11:49

like you're saying something

11:49

different to me. So as we break

11:52

it down, we go into the guided

11:52

tour of Genesis three, the

11:56

crash, rebellion, nakedness,

11:56

hiding, and shame. Now whoever

12:03

wrote the Bible was I'm going to

12:03

go dig into and find out and

12:07

realize who wrote Genesis. I

12:07

don't know why I do shaman here.

12:13

Because I didn't get that they

12:13

were ashamed of being naked. I

12:18

got that they was just they

12:18

realized that they were naked.

12:23

And because they realized that

12:23

they were naked, they covered

12:26

themselves in fig leaves. Now, I

12:26

don't know if that was the

12:29

wisdom that was brought to them

12:29

to even know to sow fig leaves

12:33

together to use that as

12:33

covering, because that's pretty

12:38

smart on their behalf Adam and

12:38

Eve, Sue. And at that time, that

12:43

name wasn't Eve, it was just, I

12:43

suppose they so at that time to

12:47

even realize to so fig leaves

12:47

trees together to make garments.

12:52

That was smart of them. So I'm

12:52

not sure if they were ashamed or

12:55

if they just realized, Oh, we

12:55

naked we got to cover up. And it

12:59

kind of triggered me in a way

12:59

when, towards the end of the

13:02

passage, it says the Lord God

13:02

made garments of skin for Adam

13:06

and his wife and clothing. So if

13:06

they were not already in skin,

13:11

what were they were they just

13:11

spirits were they entity were

13:14

you know, like, I just have

13:14

questions about that. And I'm

13:18

not a preacher. I'm not a

13:18

prophesy or I'm not one of

13:21

those. So if you're looking for

13:21

anybody like that, to prophesied

13:23

over you or to preach to you,

13:23

you might want to go find

13:26

another channel because this is

13:26

not it. This is simply Bible

13:28

study, as I'm getting into the

13:28

Bible and reading the stories

13:32

and trying to understand what

13:32

God is saying. So the Lord God

13:36

made garments of skin for Adam

13:36

and his wife and clothed them is

13:40

that the skin that we carry on

13:40

our body, this fleshly skin

13:44

that's connected to our souls.

13:44

And so that's kind of something

13:49

that I was questioning and I was

13:49

talking to God about last night.

13:52

So anyways, let's break it down.

13:52

chapter three, verse three, but

13:57

God does say you must not eat

13:57

from the tree that is in the

14:00

middle of the garden, and you

14:00

must not touch it or you will

14:04

die. The woman who does the

14:04

fall, the alley and the theology

14:10

is call it but the event this

14:10

chapter describes it's really

14:13

more like a crash. Although Adam

14:13

and Eve have everything to

14:17

people who want in paradise,

14:17

still a thought nags at them,

14:21

are we somehow missing out? Is

14:21

God keeping something from us

14:25

like all of us, they cannot

14:25

resist the temptation to reach

14:29

out for what lies beyond them.

14:29

Journalists and author G K.

14:34

Chester Chesterton said, there

14:34

is only one doctor and that can

14:40

be empirically verified. The

14:40

Doctrine the doctrine of

14:44

original sin. Genesis give few

14:44

details about the first thing

14:49

many people mistakenly assume

14:49

sex is involved, but something

14:53

far more basic is at stake. God

14:53

has labeled one tree just one

14:59

are off limits. The real issue

14:59

is who will set the rule God or

15:06

human beings, Adam and Eve

15:06

decide in their own favor in the

15:11

world has never been the same.

15:11

The underlying message of

15:15

genossen goes against a common

15:15

assumption about human history

15:19

that the world has been

15:19

gradually progressing towards a

15:22

better and better state.

15:22

According to these chapters,

15:26

that assumption is not accurate.

15:26

On the contrary, humanity

15:30

crashed against the rocks of his

15:30

own pride and stubbornness long

15:34

ago and is still doing so today.

15:34

This is true they are. neither

15:40

god nor anyone else has been

15:40

satisfied with human beings

15:44

since that time. Genesis helped

15:44

us understand why the universe

15:49

is so strictly lovely. Yes, so

15:49

terribly tragic. It is lovely

15:54

because God made it. And it is

15:54

tragic because he entrusted it

15:58

to us. And we failed. Did God

15:58

really say Adam and Eve react to

16:07

their sin as anyone reacts to

16:07

sin, they rationalize try to

16:12

explain themselves and look for

16:12

someone else to take the blame.

16:16

The author of Genesis quaintly

16:16

knows that they also feel the

16:20

need to hide, they hide from

16:20

each other by making coverings

16:24

for themselves because they

16:24

sense for the first time a

16:27

feeling of shame about being

16:27

naked. Now, I didn't get that

16:32

they felt shame. I just got that

16:32

they was aware of their

16:35

surroundings, and it was aware

16:35

that they was naked, not sure

16:39

how naked or aware they was

16:39

because at the time God did not

16:44

clothed them with the garments

16:44

of skin. So I'm just thinking of

16:49

how openly naked were they were

16:49

they naked to see each other

16:53

spirits? Were they naked to see

16:53

the entity like because they

16:57

have not yet been clothed with

16:57

garments of skin yet, according

17:01

to Genesis three, now? We wrong.

17:01

But I'm still learning and I'm

17:06

doing my search. So I'm just

17:06

questioning certain things.

17:13

Right? So perhaps the greatest

17:13

change of all occurs in their

17:20

relationship with God.

17:20

Previously, they have walked in

17:25

talk freely with God in the

17:25

Garden, much as one would with a

17:30

friend. Now when they hear God's

17:30

voice, they hide. When God

17:36

discovers Adam and Eve in hiding

17:36

the x three searching questions,

17:41

where are you? And why are you

17:41

hiding from me? Who told you

17:45

that you were naked? And why did

17:45

you believe somebody else and

17:48

not me? Now what is this that

17:48

you have done? And are you ready

17:53

to take responsibility for it?

17:53

Genesis 30 Tails of other

17:59

profound changes that affect the

17:59

world because the creatures

18:02

chose their own way, rather than

18:02

their creators. Suffering

18:07

multiplies, work becomes harder,

18:07

and a new word death begins

18:12

trend in high in a human

18:12

vocabulary. Perfection is spoil

18:17

forever. All wars, all violence,

18:17

all broken relationships, our

18:23

grief and sadness traced back to

18:23

this one monumental day in the

18:27

Garden of Eden. Life question.

18:27

Have you ever felt hemmed in? Or

18:35

stiffled by one of guys come in?

18:35

How have you responded to this

18:41

film? All right. Let's break it

18:41

down. All right, because I

18:48

question the story. I'm always

18:48

questioning the stories of

18:54

because they're written by man

18:54

or woman or home. And I'm always

18:59

questioning what is this story

18:59

trying to resonate are tell me

19:04

and what is God trying to

19:04

direct? And tell me now the

19:09

question was, have you ever felt

19:09

him in our sinful by one of

19:14

God's commands? How have you

19:14

responded to this feeling? So

19:21

I gotta tell you to do

19:21

something, do it. Right. But how

19:26

can you decide are different?

19:26

What God is telling you? I'm

19:30

gonna talk about me, okay.

19:30

There's a lot of things that I

19:34

got going on. I have my career.

19:34

I have a job. I'm a parent. I'm

19:41

a friend. And I'm all of these

19:41

things, right? But first and

19:44

foremost, I'm a child of God.

19:44

And five years ago, I decided to

19:49

take this spiritual journey to

19:49

get closer to God. I grew up in

19:52

church, I grew up and around

19:52

people, Baptists and all of this

19:56

and I grew up with that already

19:56

installed in me but nothing was

20:01

resonated to me as to when I got

20:01

an adult and I became an adult.

20:06

And I decided to take this

20:06

spiritual journey on my own

20:10

because I wanted to search for

20:10

God. Even though God is always

20:15

with me. It lives in me. It's

20:15

me, I needed to search within

20:21

me, and my surroundings and

20:21

everything to know that God was

20:26

right here with me. So I'm

20:26

always question I'm always

20:30

asking him, what is it that you

20:30

want me to do? How do you want

20:33

me to do it? Who do you want me

20:33

to connect with? How do you want

20:35

me to speak? How do you want me to talk? How do you want me to act? Because I never want

20:37

society or people to put their

20:41

things on me making me feel that

20:41

I need to be a certain type of

20:44

way or a certain type of person,

20:44

to have a relationship with God.

20:48

So as I started to take this

20:48

journey, God started to break

20:53

things down for me, he started

20:53

to remove things, he started to

20:56

move people, he started to

20:56

reveal himself or herself to me.

21:00

And I just started to get closer

21:00

and closer to wanting to open

21:04

and share the Bible with people

21:04

not just closer to wanting to

21:07

open and share the Bible with

21:07

people, not just share the Bible

21:10

with people, but share my

21:10

experience that I've been on

21:14

with the Lord, our Creator. Now,

21:14

I say the Lord our Creator,

21:18

because that's exactly how we

21:18

are connected. We're connected,

21:22

connected to a Creator, who

21:22

created all things, Heaven and

21:26

Earth. Good and bad, evil and

21:26

good. So I'm just like, okay,

21:33

Laura, you know, what is it that

21:33

you want me to do? Now, if you

21:37

guys can recall and remember,

21:37

and go back to March 1 episode,

21:40

I literally said that I was

21:40

going to be doing a visual

21:43

episode, that next week, that

21:43

next week came, and I was not

21:48

around, I was not even on a

21:48

podcast, I was not in front of

21:52

the camera. I was not even doing

21:52

what I'm supposed to be doing.

21:55

And I never, I never want to be

21:55

like I'm a liar, right? But I'm

22:02

gonna keep it real with you

22:02

guys. Like, I'd be lying. Okay.

22:05

And so that was working on me,

22:05

in this midst of this two months

22:10

span, I'm gonna say like, two

22:10

months, yes, because it was

22:13

March and April. And this whole

22:13

time, I was thinking to myself,

22:17

Oh, my God, I gotta get this, I

22:17

gotta have this, I gotta do this

22:20

to go visual, I gotta do this, I

22:20

gotta do this, I gotta do that.

22:23

And I'm literally ripping and

22:23

tearing myself apart. And God,

22:26

it's like, you don't have to do

22:26

any of that. You don't have to

22:28

be any of that, get your camera,

22:28

set it up and read the Bible,

22:32

like I instructed you to do. So

22:32

I was battling with that for

22:36

this past two months, you guys.

22:36

And that's why I have not been

22:39

on my podcast or haven't put out

22:39

an episode. But it was so vital

22:42

and important to me to do this.

22:42

Now, because I'm like, You know

22:46

what, I need to listen to what

22:46

my Creator is telling me to do,

22:50

because he's trying to take,

22:50

it's trying to take me places,

22:54

and I can't get there. If I'm

22:54

stuck on my own fleshly desires

22:57

and my own fleshly mindset of

22:57

thinking that I got to have

23:01

things figured out, I gotta have

23:01

it, I gotta have this. And when

23:06

God tells you to do something,

23:06

or tell you not to do something

23:10

is very important and vital for

23:10

you to actually listen. Now not

23:13

everybody is going to be able to

23:13

listen or have the capacity to

23:17

understand what is it that God

23:17

is trying to tell you? Or what

23:20

is he trying to tell you to stay

23:20

away from? Or what is he trying

23:22

to tell you to go to? I'm just

23:22

speaking on me. So when I read

23:27

the story of Genesis chapter

23:27

three, yes, of course I question

23:30

certain things. But one thing

23:30

stood out to me a God commanded

23:36

something. You can have

23:36

everything in this garden of

23:41

Eden. I mean, everything you can

23:41

have this you have that you have

23:44

this, but I just commanded you

23:44

to do one thing and it's not

23:47

touched this tree not eat from

23:47

it, or else you will die. The

23:51

serpent came along and trick not

23:51

saying that he tricked the woman

23:55

because he literally did not

23:55

trick her. He said, You surely

23:59

when I die? You know, God knows

23:59

that your eyes will be open and

24:03

you'll have wisdom. So you

24:03

really wouldn't die. And just

24:06

like any other fleshly desire of

24:06

human, we're going to want to

24:11

try to find out. Like if I was

24:11

Eve, I would have been like, Oh,

24:16

I'm not gonna die. Oh, I'm gonna

24:16

get some wisdom. I'm gonna be

24:19

like a god. Why not? Because it

24:19

looks good. I think is good. So

24:25

let me go ahead and try the

24:25

fruit. I also would have done

24:29

the same thing. It's just no

24:29

human nature to do not saying

24:32

that she set the tone for all

24:32

humanity. Because the man he did

24:36

not even have to eat the fruit.

24:36

But he did. And I don't see him

24:40

question her asking her what a

24:40

fruit came from. Or did you get

24:45

this from the fruit that God

24:45

told us not to eat from? From

24:48

the tree? That guy told us not

24:48

to eat from like, he didn't

24:51

question her like he lives he

24:51

literally just went and all and

24:54

ate it. And then we got came and

24:54

spoke to him. He tried to put

24:58

the blame on her. She tried to

24:58

put the blame on a serpent. And

25:02

everybody was curse, right? So

25:02

that's how I look at it. When I

25:06

tell you to do something or not

25:06

to do something, just do it.

25:12

It's hard. But the outcome is

25:12

going to be for the greater good

25:16

of you now why he cursed them

25:16

and banned him out of the Garden

25:20

of Eden. He literally gave them

25:20

to the earth and was like here,

25:24

you're going to work, the

25:24

grounds that you came from,

25:26

you're going to eat from the

25:26

food that comes from the ground,

25:28

because as soon as you're done

25:28

with life, that's exactly where

25:32

you're going to go back to that

25:32

she was made to dust you will go

25:34

back to God did not abandon Adam

25:34

and Eve, he just kicked them out

25:40

of the garden of paradise, to be

25:40

kicked out of the garden of

25:43

paradise of heaven. Everything

25:43

that you want and desire, it

25:47

makes you question and think or

25:47

wonder, why did not listen to

25:51

what the Lord had commanded. We

25:51

all go through this, we all go

25:56

through this, I don't care rich,

25:56

poor, happy, sad, mad, we all go

26:00

through a phase where God is

26:00

actually talking to us telling

26:03

us what to do and what not to

26:03

do. And if you are a true

26:07

believer, or a person who want a

26:07

relationship with Christ, or

26:10

God, you're gonna hear things

26:10

and see things and feel things

26:15

because God actually works in

26:15

our lives. Right? Me, for

26:20

instance, this podcast I was

26:20

supposed to do this visual two

26:24

months ago. Why didn't I have on

26:24

here to do it two months ago, I

26:28

didn't have the confidence, I

26:28

didn't feel like I had

26:30

everything that I need. I didn't

26:30

feel like I was prepared and

26:33

ready because I'm not a

26:33

preacher. I'm not somebody who

26:37

just, you know, go out here and

26:37

preach the Word of God. And he's

26:41

like, No, but I am a believer,

26:41

and I truly do have a

26:45

relationship with the Creator.

26:45

And he assigned me to do this,

26:51

not not just for myself, but for

26:51

other people too, but for mainly

26:55

for me, because I wanted a

26:55

relationship with God. And I

26:58

needed to know that no matter

26:58

what it is that I do, or what I

27:01

go through, I can be a dancer, I

27:01

can be a bartender, I can be a

27:05

street, street walker, I can be

27:05

a real estate agent, licensed

27:09

agent, licensed esthetician, I

27:09

can be anything in his world,

27:12

yet God has still chose to use

27:12

me. And all I gotta do is open

27:19

this Bible and read it, read it

27:19

for me, read it for you. And

27:24

really for anybody else who

27:24

wants to understand that our

27:27

relationship with God matters,

27:27

our relationship with ourselves

27:31

matters. And when God is

27:31

speaking to you, and talking to

27:35

you, and telling you what to do,

27:35

or telling you what not to do,

27:38

it's up for us, as people to

27:38

take that.

27:44

Serious to take it and be like,

27:44

You know what, I'm going to

27:48

listen. Because if I don't, I'm

27:48

going to lose the opportunity to

27:54

be in the kingdom. To be in

27:54

paradise, I'm going to lose the

27:57

opportunity to start wealth for

27:57

my family, I'm going to lose the

28:00

opportunity to gain insight and

28:00

get myself out of depression,

28:04

I'm going to lose the

28:04

opportunity to heal be healed

28:08

from the Creator who created all

28:08

things I'm gonna lose the

28:11

opportunity to gain

28:11

relationships with other people

28:14

and bigger places and better

28:14

places and higher positions with

28:16

me all because I'm not listening

28:16

at all because I want to take

28:20

initiative on my own or do

28:20

things on my own and go this way

28:24

when God is telling me to go

28:24

this way. So it's telling me to

28:27

go this way. So when I read

28:27

Genesis three, it just made me

28:32

think about me, it made me think

28:32

about humanity, me think about

28:36

people and it made me think

28:36

about how Sam was created. He

28:40

told him to do not do one thing

28:40

he gave him the whole garden of

28:44

Eden. He said don't touch this

28:44

tree, don't eat it. Maybe don't

28:48

even look at it. Right. But as

28:48

curious as humans are, and

28:54

ambition and you know, feeling

28:54

like we got to have it on No at

28:59

all one at all. Unfortunately,

28:59

in the first beginning of the

29:04

Bible, sin was created. The

29:04

woman did something by not

29:09

listening to God, by following

29:09

someone else is worried but not

29:13

believing what God told her and

29:13

caused them to be banished from

29:19

the Garden of Eden. Now, I do

29:19

question certain things because

29:23

it was very wise of them to

29:23

create garments for themselves.

29:29

fig leaves, like, how did they

29:29

get the tools and material to

29:34

sell fig leaves? You know, I'm

29:34

saying I watched Naked and

29:37

Afraid and I'd be like, Okay,

29:37

that's creative, but you got to

29:42

have the tools. You got to have

29:42

certain things but the knowledge

29:47

is like the mindset, your wisdom

29:47

like that, that comes from the

29:52

Lord that comes from the

29:52

Creator. And so for them to be

29:56

able to do that. I'm like, Oh,

29:56

that was smart. Oh, that was the

29:58

wisdom from the tree. that

29:58

understanding, so fig leaves

30:04

together. And you know, when

30:04

they hid from God and things

30:08

like that, to me, it's not like,

30:08

oh, they were ashamed or they

30:12

were, they were shameful. No, it

30:12

was more like so they did

30:16

something that they shouldn't be

30:16

doing, and they feel bad for it.

30:20

Or not even knowing how God will

30:20

react to them for doing such

30:24

crazy things. Like you listen to

30:24

somebody else, you listen to me,

30:27

or whatever. So, but it's very

30:27

interesting and intriguing to me

30:30

as I go into the Bible and

30:30

research stories and just

30:34

understand how God works, you

30:34

know, and it's just talking to

30:37

me, because I see you know, from

30:37

the stories how you could try to

30:42

put the blame on somebody but in

30:42

all initiative, the man did what

30:45

he did. The woman did where he

30:45

was she did in a certain day

30:50

with what he what he did, and

30:50

they all got cursed the woman

30:53

got hers she we give like

30:53

childbirth is like super

30:57

painful. Our periods and stuff

30:57

super painful. The man gawkers,

31:01

he always got to work, he got to

31:01

work from the ground, he got to

31:04

support his family. Like it's

31:04

always been in key the ground

31:08

state that God said you will

31:08

work from the ground that you

31:10

come from. So man being

31:10

providers is like it's in the

31:14

Bible, but Angola too much to

31:14

that, because we got into how

31:19

the fall and how sand was just

31:19

created. It was created by not

31:23

listening. And I don't know like

31:23

them. What I know like me, I

31:27

don't always listen, here I am

31:27

two months later, don't have

31:30

visual when I should have been

31:30

doing is two months ago. But I

31:34

know for a fact that God is

31:34

doing something great in my

31:37

life. So I'm going to start

31:37

right here where I'm at. And I'm

31:41

going to use what he gave me

31:41

because I know that he's going

31:44

to provide for me. And I'm just

31:44

so grateful and happy to have

31:49

this platform that I'm creating,

31:49

that God has given me the

31:54

opportunity to create, so that I

31:54

can touch his people to talk to

31:57

his people and know that we're

31:57

all in this together. It is

32:00

literally the relationship of

32:00

Christ, not religion, because

32:04

the story is just touch and

32:04

death of so many people in so

32:08

many things all over the world.

32:08

You don't have to be Muslim,

32:11

Catholic, Christian, or whatever

32:11

it is have relationship with God

32:14

because God is for all of us.

32:14

It's within us. It's however you

32:19

identify your God, whether man

32:19

or woman, him Shem Wim them

32:23

however you want to pronounce

32:23

our call it pronouns or whatever

32:26

you want to say, God is the

32:26

Creator of all things. And when

32:29

he tells us to do something, and

32:29

he tells us not to do something,

32:33

we as people have the

32:33

opportunity to listen to

32:40

appreciate to, you know, just

32:40

sometimes not touch it or not go

32:47

for it or not. Leave it in God's

32:47

hands, you know, don't eat from

32:52

the tree that he's telling you

32:52

not to eat from and I'm just

32:54

talking just hypothetically

32:54

doesn't have to be the tree of

32:57

garden, the tree of Eden. The

32:57

Tree of Life. When you tell you

33:02

don't hang with certain people,

33:02

or don't go certain places, and

33:08

don't talk about certain things,

33:08

you know, like this all is in

33:11

connection to what the stories

33:11

are trying to relate to. So you

33:15

guys, this was our first episode

33:15

of visual and I'm so excited

33:19

that I actually got on here

33:19

excuse my hair excuse what's

33:21

going on. I'm actually about to

33:21

go into work. But I'm excited to

33:25

jump into this and go visual and

33:25

start start reading the Bible

33:29

out in visually so that you can

33:29

see how it to me off all real

33:33

33:33

34:11

relationship with God and just

34:16

continue to listen to what God

34:16

is telling me to do. Continue to

34:19

walk this journey with God and

34:19

front and not do anything for

34:24

cloud or to chase or it's to be

34:24

like, Hey, look at me like I

34:29

love the Lord like no, if you

34:29

don't love the Lord, that's your

34:32

business. But I do love the Lord

34:32

and I love exactly what he's

34:36

putting me through and taking me

34:36

through because I don't look

34:39

like what I've been through. And

34:39

I'll get into the more stories

34:42

about that in depth later on.

34:42

But you can listen to any

34:45

episode, you can go on to the

34:45

podcast and listen to any

34:48

episode. Let's see how far this

34:48

podcast has come and how far is

34:53

going. I'm super excited to

34:53

touch base back with my

34:57

listeners and I'm super excited

34:57

to get things in order. To

35:00

start, like, coming together and

35:00

really just create a community

35:05

of people who are related

35:05

through Christ, and who actually

35:08

want a relationship with God,

35:08

and don't have a problem with

35:13

sharing the Word of God with

35:13

other people not to put God on

35:18

people, because I don't like

35:18

when people do that. You don't

35:21

know when people want to do it,

35:21

you don't know what God is

35:24

trying to talk to people about.

35:24

So to try to tell me how I

35:28

shouldn't be or how I should

35:28

act, or all this good stuff, and

35:32

all of this great stuff, I leave

35:32

that up to God, my job is to

35:35

simply just read the Bible and

35:35

just showed you how God is

35:38

working in my life. He has

35:38

brought me super, super far. And

35:42

I know this is just the pre

35:42

beginning of where He's taking

35:45

me. And I'm excited to see where

35:45

it's going. And I'm excited to

35:48

bring all my clients hell and

35:48

people that's connected to me to

35:52

just know that God is amazing,

35:52

okay. And I'm excited to be

35:57

here. Not all the time, will I

35:57

show up with this personality

36:01

and his attitude, but I will

36:01

show up to show you how and

36:05

who's in control of my life. And

36:05

that is the Creator who created

36:09

all things both good and bad,

36:09

however, you want to identify

36:11

our Creator. So this is blessed

36:11

to be as on your cousin to

36:15

Christ launch. I love that and

36:15

you have been rocking with me

36:19

for the past 30 minutes. And I'm

36:19

excited to take this visually

36:24

and go on YouTube. So don't be a

36:24

stranger press Like, share,

36:27

comment. And yeah, just keep me

36:27

posted. And come back with me

36:33

and share another story next

36:33

week. As I dive in to Isaiah

36:37

chapter 52. Salvation

36:37

prophesied. Again, I'm not a

36:41

prophesy and I'm not a preacher.

36:41

So if you're looking for

36:44

somebody to do that, go ahead

36:44

and follow one of these great,

36:47

great preachers speakers that I

36:47

also listened to as well.

36:51

There's a lot of people that I

36:51

take heed and listen to, but

36:55

there is one Creator who I

36:55

actually follow and that is the

36:59

board and so I encourage you

36:59

guys to do the same. So until

37:02

next time, you guys I will talk

37:02

to you next time. Bye
