Stepping In Faith
Season One Finale: Rest
What does it truly mean to rest in God? Not the physical rest that comes with sleep, but the spiritual posture that brings freedom from anxiety, worry, and the weight of trying to control everything in your life.
In this powerful season finale, we explore the concept of spiritual rest as Jesus described it in Matthew 11:28-30. When Christ invites us to "take my yoke upon you," He's offering a divine partnership where our burdens become lighter because we're no longer carrying them alone. The yoke, historically used to unite two animals pulling together, becomes a beautiful metaphor for how we move through life connected to our Savior.
We examine how many have mistaken our spiritual address, treating God's presence as a vacation spot rather than our permanent dwelling place. Psalm 91 reminds us that those who "live in the shelter of the Most High" find genuine rest, not those who merely visit occasionally. Mary, mother of Jesus, demonstrates perfect spiritual rest when she accepts God's seemingly impossible word without questioning how it could happen.
The challenge for modern believers is learning to surrender control, embracing childlike faith rather than analyzing everything through our limited understanding. True rest produces remarkable fruit: peace beyond comprehension, clarity of purpose, and freedom from striving. Yet this rest requires protection through daily spiritual vigilance and breaking agreements with doubt.
Whether you're carrying burdens of anxiety, struggling with hearing God's voice clearly, or battling to believe His promises for your life, this episode offers both theological insights and practical wisdom for finding genuine rest in Him.

Speaker 2:Shania.
Speaker 1:This is episode 28. It is. This is the final episode everyone of season one, which is crazy. It's crazy. We are episode 28. We're at episode 28. So I wish I could put some uh stuff in right now. I might try to, but if not, it is what it is what stuff? Like some applause.
Speaker 2:I'm too far away from the oh, because it was kind of quiet yeah, it's like this would be like hands clapping or something like that oh, you're too far away to touch that, yeah I might need to put that closer next season so I can have the effects in there. Possibly, or you could just add it I could.
Speaker 1:It may be cheesy, but we'll see. Anyhow, this is episode 28,. The final episode for this season. So we are here and we are about to do this. So we start this off with prayer. Babe, did you pray last time, or did I pray?
Speaker 2:I think I prayed last time.
Speaker 1:You sure?
Speaker 2:I don't remember, but I think so.
Speaker 1:Maybe you did. I'll pray, father God, as we come before you this afternoon. We thank you for your love, your mercy, your grace. We thank you, father, that you are in control and that there is none like you. We pray that your perfect will will be carried out like never before.
Speaker 1:We submit this podcast to you, father God, and we pray that you will have your way. Let your glory be experienced, Let your presence be felt. Allow lives to be impacted and changed based on the different things you had us touch on in this past season. God, holy Spirit, we yield and submit to you. Take over our voice, take over our thoughts. Allow us to flow in the Spirit. Lord Jesus, you are welcome. We welcome you here. We submit to you as our Lord and our Savior, as our high priest.

We thank you for keeping us week by week. It's in jesus name we pray amen amen.
Speaker 1:Was that a long prayer? It was it wasn't that long I was like oh, I can't hear you, babe you can't hear me no, I think we. I don't think I changed the settings.
Speaker 2:Why you can't hear me.
Speaker 1:I can hear you now. You was talking a little low.
Speaker 2:I was talking the same amount.
Speaker 1:Were you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Say something.
Speaker 2:Something.
Speaker 1:Say something else.
Speaker 2:Something else?
Speaker 1:Okay, we'll deal with it in else, something else. Okay, we'll deal with it in post, all right, because I think your volume is up higher than mine. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:So this is episode 28. Babe, I just want to say I am proud of you for allowing the Holy Spirit to keep you this season. I know that there were times that we both were struggling, yet you have continued to yield and submit to the Spirit of God, and I know it's only by the grace of God that you have come thus far, that we have come thus far. Yes, you have come thus far, that we have come thus far.
Speaker 2:Yes, we have come thus far.
Speaker 1:We have dealt with challenges and struggles, but God has kept us.
Speaker 2:What challenges and struggles you talking about?
Speaker 1:We can't speak to them about the stuff that people have been trying to come at us with.
Speaker 2:What are you talking about?
Speaker 1:Like all of the stuff that was going on week by week.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're talking about outside of the podcast.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, Not in but outside the podcast. Oh. As the enemy been battling us and we've been going through warfare nonstop. But God has kept us and we have remained faithful. It is only by the grace of God that we have remained faithful. It's only by his grace and mercy. So to God be the glory.
Speaker 2:To God be the glory.
Speaker 1:Anything you want to say before we get started this week.
Speaker 2:No, okay, do you want me to say something?
Speaker 1:No'm just saying I'm hungry are you? Yes I'm good right now. So what's? This week's episode entitled, titled, everyone, I'm hungry.
Speaker 2:This week's episode is titled Rest in Him.
Speaker 1:Rest in Him. Okay, rest in Him. I think it's just supposed to be rest. Okay. I did the rest in Him.
Speaker 2:I was doing it as I was putting the notes together and I just heard no rest okay, so it's called rest.
Speaker 1:it's just rest everyone. So the song that uh came to mind that was playing that really stood out by uh as I was listening in on this is fall down by bridge music, all Down by Bridge Music and Reggie Darby. So we would try to get those or get that set up for the video so everyone can see it. I wonder if I can get the lyrics, but if not, music. Okay, you seem like you're trying to find the lyrics. Go ahead, babe.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, this episode is titled Rest because, the Lord wants us to share with you how you find rest in him. Not rest like you're tired and you need to go to sleep, but rest meaning you don't worry about the cares of this world. And so your, your mind gets rest, your body gets rest yes, that's what it was.
Speaker 1:It will put the song towards the end, but, um, the key scripture that came to mind because I'm like, okay, I hear you, god, I hear what you're saying. Right, but it was matthew 11, verse 28 and 30. So, babe, you want to read that.
Speaker 2:Sure it says come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear and the burden I give you is light.
Speaker 1:So when we read that, I think it's a beautiful thing. One of the things I wanted to really look into is what is yoke, right? So the definition of yoke is a wooden cross piece fastened over the necks of two animals attached to a plow or cart to pull together in unity. And as I was looking into it, some of the things that stood out is this it's to unite two beings, right.
Speaker 1:To carry a load together. It's a yoke, essentially allows to share in a burden, which is what it was created for. I believe is it oxes or oxen, ox, ox, that actually wears the yokes and it allows you to carry each other burden. So it makes the burden lighter, right, and the direct movement. It's moving in the same direction. So when jesus really was speaking to us in the scripture, he was basically saying take off that heavy burden that you've had. Take upon my yoke, which is lighter, because I am going to carry this burden with you and teach you how to flow in this. Teach you how to essentially rest in me, right? Right.
Speaker 1:And so when he's saying this to us, he's inviting us into a partnership and it's offering to shoulder the weight with us, yeah, and guiding us.
Speaker 2:It was key when he said this he's guiding us with gentleness and peace.
Speaker 1:Guiding us with gentleness and peace. Yeah, when he said the part where, let me see.
Speaker 2:When he said, because I'm here, that was interesting why I don't know why they're blowing air on our side?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 2:Why? I don't know why they're blowing it on all sides. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:So take my yoke upon you, let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart. That part stood out. So even as he's teaching us. It's like coming from a place of humility within him, and it's so important Okay. So, as I'm reading this, what stands out to you, because you're smiling.
Speaker 2:No, I just got the image of tug of war. And yo, why are they blowing their horns so loud?
Speaker 1:I do not know.
Speaker 2:Every time we record, it's always something it is. We got to pause for like 20, 30 minutes.
Speaker 1:Eventually, everyone we are believing God that we're going to have a studio where we can soundproof it, that still set it up, to have a whole living room set. It's going to be multiple sets because God has placed on our hearts to get into short films and doing different things and even full films. That is quote unquote is based off the inspirations and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is something that we rarely see. And then, most importantly, which is always interesting to us and I'm going on a tangent because this is something I'm passionate about but we within film and within TV, right we are we rarely see things created from this quote unquote Christian genre that is at a heightened level of excellence, where it's like the storyline is there, all of these different things are there. The only thing I've actually seen and if we can, we may actually try to tag that in the end that really stood out, is the cleaner, which is a short film on youtube.
Speaker 2:I can add it to um the the end end where the videos pop up.
Speaker 1:It's an amazing short film that we saw that really touched my heart, with the way the writer put it together, the way the producers did what they did, the entire team, the actors, all of them. It was an amazing job, job, and it is such an amazing thing that's needed within the body of christ for the stories, our stories, to be told, because the kingdom of god is so interesting, it's so beautiful it's so vast, it's so complex, yeah we have our own quote-unquote superheroes within the kingdom of God.
Speaker 1:That would make Marvel when DC comics, look like amateurs. Jesus Christ alone is the ultimate superhero.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like we get tired of seeing that, like we don't get tired of watching stories of Jesus, but it's literally like the same story and it's not even an accurate depiction, because I have to be honest and y'all might get some people might get mad.
Speaker 1:We're just going to call it what it is. Jesus is not caucasian. Jesus also is in, uh, jamaican. He is a middle eastern man. No, he doesn't he was every, every bit of. He don't have dreads samson had dreads he did.
Speaker 1:He is every bit of a Middle Eastern brown man and we have to remember, even when we look at the context of things now, many of the cultures are mixed down. So he was brown and he worked in the sun and he was a carpenter, so his hands were rough and he had curly hair, they like. Let's not even just get into the geographical importance of where he was located and where his father and mother was located. So, please, I see very few people that depict Jesus based on a context of who he was, how he looked during this period of time.
Speaker 2:And people keep saying that it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:It does.
Speaker 2:It does matter.
Speaker 1:It does matter.
Speaker 2:If I'm African, I want you to portray me as an African.
Speaker 1:If Dr Martin Luther King Jr is a black man, why are we going to have? Why are we going to cast him as an Asian?
Speaker 2:Why are we going to cast him as white Right, if, if um because it just, it just takes away the, the it's, it softly takes away the identity. It's like you're taking away the identity, the true nature of who this person is.
Speaker 1:Listen, it's like trying to make Santa Claus black or Asian.
Speaker 2:But you can.
Speaker 1:You can't, because Santa Claus, who he was based off of the story of who he is. He was essentially a European man. This is just the reality of what it is, just like you can't say that George Washington was a Asian guy, black guy, hispanic guy, yeah, it's literally like yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2:You know, george Washington was a white man and he had wooden teeth. But if you casted a black man to portray, George Washington.
Speaker 1:It would be like no, why? So please stop. That's what I'm like.
Speaker 2:Because people say it doesn't matter, it does, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:We need people in this space that will be real and authentic to who Christ is, but we're getting out of place.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, that's a lot. We're getting a of place.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yeah, that's our heart.
Speaker 2:Okay, but getting back to on subject, what I was saying was when you were talking about the yoke, what came to me was Doug O'War and you were watching like the military thing. What came back to me was that video and how you know if you're one person and you were watching like the military thing. What came back to me was that video and how you know if you're one person and you're playing tug of war against like four or five people, they're going to tear you up, right, because you don't have enough weight. But if there's five of you and you're pulling, it doesn't feel as bad. There you don't have to use all of your weight, all of your might, all of your strength because you have backup. So it's like you, the holy spirit, god the father and jesus, which is like, it's like the the it's the ultimate partnership.
Speaker 2:It's like the infinity rings. What is it? Is it the?
Speaker 3:affinity rings like the, the, the it's like the infinity rings.
Speaker 1:It's the ultimate team. Is it the affinity rings Like the fist, with all of the different. Oh yeah, when he just snapped his finger and it just destroyed everything. Yeah, that's who God is For those who watch. That's who God is Amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it's like you're coming up against, because it literally is a tug of war right's a it's we're talking about two kingdoms. We're fighting two kingdoms, and the kingdom of darkness is trying to pull you one way, and then the holy spirit is trying to pull you another way, but if you just hold on tight enough and partner with them, you can defeat them yes, right, it becomes easier.
Speaker 1:The load becomes lighter. It becomes an easier load to bear. Right. And babe, make sure your phone is on. Do not disturb, because I forgot to put mine on. It is I just had a phone call, though, but it was on vibrate. So as I was going through all of this right and let me make sure, let me see I'm looking through some stuff you talked about that. What you looking through some stuff? We talked about that.
Speaker 2:What are you looking through?
Speaker 1:Notes Okay. So one of the things that I want to speak on is one of the greatest challenges we face as believers is finding rest. We live in a world where there are constant burdens that are pushing for our attention, yet we are called to find rest in Christ Right. And. I think that is so important and that leads us into Psalms 91.
Speaker 2:Okay, which?
Speaker 1:is what came to mind. Okay.
Speaker 1:And Psalms 91, I will read that real quick. And this is a beautiful chapter. I believe everyone should read it. Add this to your list of things to read. It says verse one those who live in the shelter of the most high will find rest in the shadow of the almighty.
Speaker 1:This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, my place of safety. He is my God and I trust him, For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from daily disease. He will cover you with his feathers, he will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Speaker 1:Do not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day, Mm-hmm. Around you. These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you, no plague will come near your home, for he will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. My hands are burning up as I'm reading this.
Speaker 2:This is so powerful it's a very powerful prayer. You can decree over yourself, decree over your family, decree over your children.
Speaker 1:We talked about this and so when? And I jumped ahead, but it's fine, I'll go back to that and it's not even in here, but to God be the glory, we're going to talk about it anyway. I thought it was right here. So we talked about this, right. Our address is our address. You all have your physical address. Your spiritual address should be in him, in that secret place. That should become a place where you dwell. That should become a place where you dwell, resting and finding rest in him is getting to a point where the scripture tells us what we have to live in the shelter of the most high.
Speaker 1:The problem is we don't live there. Spiritually we don't live there. We have our physical address where we live and we rest and we lay our heads at night, but spiritually we'd be all over the place.
Speaker 3:Spiritually we'd be all over the place, because we allow the enemy to take us to places that we should not be.
Speaker 1:And then, even as I was reading this, it's so amazing because it says in verse 11, psalms 91, verse 11, nlt version for he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. You know what that tells me. When you rest in him, you don't even have to ask for these things, he automatically takes care of it. Now I don't have to pray. Father God, please send your angels forth to protect me. Lord Jesus, send your angels forth to protect me. No, the scripture says that he orders them to protect me. Lord jesus, send your angels forth to protect me. No, the scripture says that he orders them to protect you because you are living in the shelter of the most high and you find rest there, because this, come, becomes the place that you dwell.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, it's constant prayer. It's constantly in communication with god, the father and god the son. It's consecration is holiness, is sanctification every thought taken captive, lord is issue what do you?
Speaker 1:think about this how are you doing today? Yeah, it's so important, right, and the thing is, this is so good. The issue we have is many of us is just visiting, we don't dwell. We visit that space, we don't dwell there.
Speaker 2:And it's hard because we get distracted, we get distracted.
Speaker 1:Which is why you have to make a conscious decision to remain in God's presence, in the presence of the Lord, and this is so good. Rest is not a moment, it is a posture of life. It becomes a posture of life, it becomes a way of life, it becomes your lifestyle to rest, it becomes your lifestyle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it's constantly walking and talking with the Lord, not having to make decisions on your own, and relying on him to lead you, relying on the spirit to lead you and guide you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's constant and I think that's so important that we do that, and it requires us getting to a place of just really surrendering to him. Yeah. Because even when you read Matthews 11, we have to make the decision to take upon the yoke. That's why he says take my yoke, because the burden I give you is light. Yeah. Take upon my yoke, Right? Isn't that what he says? Like literally, he's like what I'm placing upon you is light.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because he's bigger and he's stronger.
Speaker 1:Exactly he can carry the weight. Exactly. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is what Jesus is saying is easy to bear and the burden I give you is light in comparison to the heavy burden that you've been carrying because you've been trying to do this on your own the entire time. And what Jesus is saying is you can find rest in me. You can find rest in me.
Speaker 2:It's hard to do because we're so used to having to do things on our own.
Speaker 1:But it's right there. It's right there in front of us.
Speaker 2:But they don't teach you that they're like go out and do this, go out and do this.
Speaker 1:They don't say say, hey, maybe you should ask god about this first before you leave the house, exactly before you put that application in, before you do this, before you do that but we have to consistently present that question right are you carrying your own yoke or have you exchanged it for God's? For Christ.
Speaker 2:Right. And then even in your healing process, people are out here going to therapy which there's nothing wrong with therapy, but it's not working for you. Or you're out here and now you're addicted to alcohol or drugs because you're trying to numb something, you're trying to heal something, you're trying to break something off of you, doing all these practices, all these modalities.
Speaker 2:You're going to the spa, you're going to the gym, you're doing all these things except for allowing God to carry that weight for you, you keep carrying it and that's why everything you're doing is not working, so that when you stop doing it, you fall, you fall.
Speaker 1:Well, the thing is that we were never designed to carry it in the first place. It was never something that was meant for us to carry, which is why Jesus came in the first place, because it was a struggle for us to do it. We always failed. It was always too much for us to bear. It's not how we were designed. We were always designed to be led by the spirit of God and guided by the spirit of God in everything we do, because he created us.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:He created us.
Speaker 2:So I think from here you know, do you have um isaiah 53 in here? I don't, okay, because what came to me was jesus taking on the weight of the world. And um isaiah 53, verse 4 through 5 this is the nib version says surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering. Yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was cursed for our iniquities. The punishment that bought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. So he literally just bore it all for us Every burden, every fear, every anxiety every stressor every illness, every disease.
Speaker 1:But we still carry it when we don't have to. We still carry it when we don't have to and it's just. I get it because we're constantly being pulled, and in today's world, we're constantly being pulled by responsibilities, fears, expectations and pressure, and even in our spiritual lives, we can strive instead of rest. Yeah, which is crazy, like we have to understand that true rest requires surrender, a willingness to let go and dwell, and that is challenging for us to do in 2025. Especially in America and throughout the rest of the world. Yeah, it's getting harder and harder.
Speaker 1:Because of technology, technological advancements.
Speaker 2:Because we're in the end times.
Speaker 1:We're in the end times, the enemy don't want us.
Speaker 2:He wants to keep us distracted and laden with burdens.
Speaker 1:So he consistently create additional distractions for us.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Absolutely so. Moving on, babe, you want to get Psalms 23.6? Because I know that's something that came to you to put in there.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Why was that something that was placed on your heart? Because, as I was working on the notes, you told me to include Psalms 23. Why was that so important?
Speaker 2:Oh, just because he gives you rest, the first. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want he make me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul and places me on a path of righteousness, for his name's sake. So he makes you lie down in green pastures. He restores your soul. That restores your soul healing. He makes me lie down, meaning he leads me to a place of rest and stillness with him, because he's walking right there beside me. He's my shepherd. I am the sheep. You have to think of yourself as the sheep. You don't go anywhere without your shepherd.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Your shepherd. The thing is your shepherd is not going to lead you into chaos. He's going to shelter you.
Speaker 1:He's going to shepherd you. He's going to shepherd you, but there's a trust that the sheep have for the shepherd and what the sheep knows the shepherd's voice.
Speaker 2:They recognize it. Right, but you have to continually be in his presence. The sheep have to continually be in the shepherd's presence. They build a relationship. They know his voice, they know his scent, they know what he looks like.
Speaker 1:So that's perfect for you to go into John 15, four through five.
Speaker 2:No, you want me to read this right here. It says john 15, 4 through 5, says remain in me and I will remain in you.
Speaker 1:For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is served from the vine and verse 5 says and just to dig in further, and it's in verse 5, because I think you're reading from the notes it says and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Key right, that's how it says. And you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
Speaker 1:Key Right that's how verse four ends out and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Verse five says yes, I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them will produce much fruit, For apart from me, you can do nothing. Right. Apart from me, you can do nothing. Right Apart from me, you can do nothing. The thing that's so interesting with this is that we forget the importance of understanding that this applies to every part of our lives. Right. Okay, remaining in him is about more than just bearing fruit. Right.
Speaker 1:It's about life itself, and it's so important to understand that, apart from him, we lose direction, peace, strength and clarity.
Speaker 2:Right, it's his leading. Exactly, it's his leading you.
Speaker 1:Every part of your life, every area, every inch of your life. I know this is primarily a podcast that is centered around relationships, marriages, etc. Yet this is also one that God has placed in our heart and it's the passion for us, for those to have a greater relationship with the Father, a greater relationship with the Son, a greater relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2:Right, because those relationships will teach you how to have earthly relationships.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes.
Speaker 2:The examples of learning how to lead, how to serve. They all come from these relationships that you have with the Father.
Speaker 1:It's so key that you understand that the Holy Spirit is a person. He is a person right that you have God the Father, god the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They're one, yet three different entities. Right. And you have to understand what roles each one play Right, so you don't mistaken one for the other. Right. The Holy Spirit being what the revealer of all truth.
Speaker 2:Right. God the Father, being God the Father, that revelation that you get, that, oh uh-huh yeah. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1:Part of it and I'm not going to get off subject Part of the issue that we have in the church today.
Speaker 2:You can't say it.
Speaker 1:I can, I just don't want to.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Do you have to say it. It relates to people misconstruing who God the Father is. Part of the issue we struggle with today is that we become so focused on earthly fathers quote unquote spiritual fathers that we forget that God is our true spiritual father. There are people in our lives that play a role of quote unquote leadership or mentor, slash mentee. But you know, I was having a conversation with Rich today and we had an interesting conversation and I'm not knocking anyone for doing it, because sometimes we just don't know. Yeah, but Jesus said what you don't call anyone your father.
Speaker 2:Right, except for the one in heaven, exactly.
Speaker 1:Part of the reason that our relationship with the father is complicated. Or I will pose a question to you and you can just have this and what scripture was that that we were discussing? Let me see. What scripture was that, babe? Can you find that scripture? The scripture that states when Jesus said that you don't call anyone your father except the father. He was speaking to the Pharisees. I want to pose a question to everyone, and this also, I believe, goes along the lines of resting in him, resting with hearing the voice of the father and having an intimate and personal relationship with the father, because you're so convoluted by what you have set in place or misconstrued, as your spiritual father yeah, it's Matthew 20.
Speaker 2:I know it was Matthew, I just didn't know this chapter verse Matthew 23,.
Speaker 1:Verse nine Could you read? Because, starting at verse one and I want people to read this, I want you to pray on this and we already know about Paul, because Paul looked at people, he had Timothy and Timothy was like a son to him, and the Bible talked about Paul having sons and daughters right, but I want to read this to see what Jesus said about this and why he said this. And you said that's Matthew 10?.
Speaker 2:Matthew 23.
Speaker 1:Matthew 23, verse.
Speaker 2:Nine.
Speaker 1:Okay, Could you start reading from verse one please?
Speaker 2:Verse one Okay. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don't follow their example, for they don't practice what they preach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden. Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with scripture verses inside and they wear robes with extra long tassels, and they love to sit at the head of the table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues.
Speaker 2:They love to receive respect, respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces and to be called rabbi. To be called rabbi. Don't let anyone call you rabbi, for you have only one teacher and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters. And don't address anyone here on earth as father, for only God in heaven is your father. And don't let anyone call you teacher, for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant, but those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. What sorrow awaits you, teachers of religious law, and you pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves and you don't let others enter either so jesus becomes our ultimate example.
Speaker 1:And the reason that this was so key is because the Pharisees were becoming so enamored by their title, they were so puffed up, it was full of pride. So it was like you call me teacher, you call me father, you call me this. And if you notice, with Jesus, by all account, the relationship that Jesus had with the disciples whom he called, he picked out one by one. One would say that they were his spiritual sons, but he never referred to them as that. No.
Speaker 1:He referred to them as his disciples. Right, he always referred to the father as the father. Right. And told us to refer to the father as the father. So when he's saying, don't call anyone father, he's saying that your spiritual father is God the father. Right.
Speaker 1:So the challenge becomes and I get, because we get so convoluted in religious practices and religious ways and this has always been done, and we saw Paul do this and so forth and so forth Could it be that we misconstrued what Paul was saying? Could it be that the language that Paul had to describe the type of relationship between him and those that he had been called to disciple? Could it be that there was no language to describe the type of relationship he had with them?
Speaker 2:No, because they weren't just little brothers or little sisters. They were literally like my son, like I feel like you're a son to me because I don't have children, I don't have a daughter. You're the closest thing I could get to family.
Speaker 1:But we took that right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And we said this is the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2:But no.
Speaker 1:Now I'm your spiritual father and you're my spiritual son. Now I'm your spiritual mother and you're my spiritual daughter.
Speaker 2:But Jesus literally forbids the use of father as a spiritual or religious title.
Speaker 1:Y'all not going to like this, but this is just. This is Bible.
Speaker 2:Because it opens the door for idolatry. It does. It opens the door for idolatry.
Speaker 1:That's the point Jesus was making. That's the point he was making.
Speaker 2:Because the role of a spiritual father belongs to God.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, and that's why you have some people that would use this. We see time and time again what quote unquote fathers in the faith, where they convolute that and they become so engulfed in this power. Now you are saying you're struggling to hear from God, but I would argue could it be and I'm just presenting this could it be that your spiritual father, that you've made your spiritual father on earth, has now become your God? And I would take this and pray about this, because you would say, oh, God has called and said that this is supposed to be my spiritual father. We had this conversation with the father. We did God who do you want to be our spiritual father? What he did.
Speaker 2:Our mother.
Speaker 1:Did he answer?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:He had us come across a teaching and it started a conversation and he provided scriptures as we were reading that showcase what Jesus said.
Speaker 2:Right and Jesus said it for a reason. He said it for a reason Because if you are under a spiritual leader, spiritual father, and there's nothing wrong with having a mentor, there's nothing wrong with you having a teacher, because people teach right. But, I'm not calling you teacher. You're still my brother, my brother, my big brother. He teaches me stuff. My big sister they teach you stuff. Right, but you don't call your big brother or sister your teacher.
Speaker 1:Now, this is not to negate the fact that you've been called to be an apostle.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Or you've been called to be a prophet, or you've been called to be an evangelist, or you've been called to be a pastor. But what we're saying is that we have to be careful, because this could be part of the reason why you struggle with hearing the voice of God. It's convoluted.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you're looking to man for You've become engulfed in religion or religious practices. Well, religious practices and tradition.
Speaker 1:And tradition.
Speaker 2:It's honorable for me to sit and listen to this apostle or my spiritual father, even if I have my own revelations, I don't even speak about it because they have their own doctrine.
Speaker 1:But you have Jeremiah that when the Lord called him and said I'm too young to be a prophet, and he looked at him and he rebuked him. What are you saying You're too young, you will go where I tell you to go and say what I tell you to say. This literally contradicts the teachings many times in the church. The teachings many times in the church Because, by all accounts, jeremiah is not in the place, as far as his age, to be able to do what he's doing so, the ultimate teacher is the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2:That's why you have to be humble. That's why the Bible speaks about having these titles. You should not have a title. You don't go by a title, because we're all students, we're all one body. We all have different functions. You have to be in a place where, if God wants to use a rock to talk to you, that you would be able to receive revelation from that rock or that donkey, or that three-year-old which is why, even when you look at Paul, he was always stating that he remained in the space of humility.
Speaker 1:He made it clear. I could boast about things if I want to, but I don't, because it means nothing in comparison to what Jesus has given me to do and my relationship with him and who Christ is.
Speaker 2:Because the Lord will use anyone to speak to you. I think even our youngest. She said stuff in times where I needed to hear something and she'll say and I'm like where did you get this from?
Speaker 1:Both kids. They say things Wow, you have to be in a space to receive, because God can use whomever he decides.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're like baby, baby, you're right.
Speaker 1:But we would say to you take this and pray on it. Read that what my wife just read. What was that Matthew?
Speaker 2:Matthew 23.
Speaker 1:Read Matthew 23, verse 1 through 13. Pray on it and really present it to the Father. And the question is could it be that we are misconstruing relationships?
Speaker 2:Right, we can't exalt anyone over God.
Speaker 1:And that is a big thing within the body of Christ.
Speaker 2:And you can say it's tradition.
Speaker 1:Over the church.
Speaker 2:You can say it's tradition. But we don't go off of tradition. No, we go off the church. You can say it's tradition but we don't go off of tradition. No, we go off the word.
Speaker 1:We don't go off of culture.
Speaker 2:We don't go off of tradition. We don't go off religion. This is kingdom.
Speaker 1:This is what Rich was talking about earlier, A friend of mine, a friend of ours. It's kingdom based. It is kingdom. The problem is we aren't going based on kingdom. Christ was teaching us kingdom principles.
Speaker 2:Right, because now you're putting someone in a position that would compete with God.
Speaker 1:You're putting someone in a position that only God is supposed to be in. God is the father. Who's your spiritual father, God?
Speaker 2:Now, there's nothing wrong with having counsel, because the Bible tells us we should have counsel.
Speaker 1:Yes, but when you look at it once again, ask yourself this question If this is the way Jesus called things to be, why? Did he not refer to his? Disciples as his sons? No, because by all accounts they would be considered his sons. He taught them, they spent time with them, they looked up to him, they looked to him, he led them, he guided them. Yet he always referred to the father as the father, and he always referred to them and saying they referred to him as rabbi or teacher. Right.
Speaker 1:Or the Messiah Right, the son of God. He's the high priest, he's not the father, but that's neither here nor there. I think we got a few more minutes. They're not going to like that. Leaders in the church is not going to like that.
Speaker 2:That's okay, it's the truth.
Speaker 1:So we did resting, we got carried away.
Speaker 2:We haven't got to eight.
Speaker 1:Okay. So Luke 1, verse 26 through 45,. As I was taking down the notes, it's what came to mind and I believe it's so perfect because Mary is one of the greatest examples of really resting in the word of God. And I think that's Luke 1, and I said what? 28? So for time's sake, I will. This is basically when the angel of the Lord came to Mary to tell her that she would have Jesus right and gave her the prophecy. One question, verse 34, and everyone read this, but we'll start at 34. Mary asked the angel but how can this happen? I am a virgin. Verse 35,. The angel replied the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy and he will be called the son of God. What's more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant. In her old age, people used to say she was bearing, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month. For the word of the Lord, or the word of God will never fail. I'm struggling right now. Mary responded I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true. And then the angel of the Lord left A few days later, verse 39, mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town where Zachariah lived.
Speaker 1:She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. At the sound of Mary's greeting, elizabeth's child leaped within her and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, god has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You were blessed because you believe that the Lord would do what he said. That means that Mary was immediately pregnant. But one of the greatest things that I love about this right is what the scripture shows us is when the angel of the Lord came forth with the word of God, she immediately received it and she rested in it. She accepted it, she believed it became life to her. She didn't question it.
Speaker 3:She didn't doubt it. No, she didn't question it. She didn't doubt it she didn't ask how so it's the key thing, right?
Speaker 1:Mary did not try to analyze or control the outcome. She just rested in the belief even though it did not make sense, because she was a virgin that she would conceive by way of the Holy Spirit. So this is good. True rest is not always physical, it's spiritual agreement with what God says. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So the question becomes in your life, and even for my wife and I, in our lives what is it that God has said to us that we have not rested in that word? What is it that God has said to you that you have not rested in that word? And our example of what rest looks like I believe one of the greatest examples is the mother of the son of God himself. Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's hard to do because we try to think logically and we have to remember that God's ways are not our ways. Yes, and what came to me was when baby girl she. She was like, yeah, I want to, I'm going to fly. She was like I'm going to fly, I don't want to say baby, you can't fly. She was like, yeah, I want to, I'm gonna fly. She was like I'm gonna fly, I don't say baby, you can't fly. She was like, well, why not? Why can't I fly? It's like the thought of that. I didn't even think that I couldn't fly, I didn't even think that it wasn't possible. She's like my mommy. I didn't even, I couldn't even give her an answer.
Speaker 1:It's having a child like I couldn't even get her answer because I it was having a childlike faith.
Speaker 2:I couldn't even give her an answer because I didn't want her to feel bad about not being able to fly, but she didn't have a thought that it can't be possible.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And so we have to have that same thought process when it comes to God. Like we can't say, oh well, that can't be possible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's as simple as that, or how is that going to?
Speaker 1:happen. Childlike faith, childlike faith. So, okay, there is a rest in repentance, right, a return to the word of God over your life, and I think that's what we all have to do Return to the word of God spoken over our life. And if you don't know what the word of God is for your life, go to him, seek him and see what the word of God is for your life. Resting in God is trusting in what he's spoken, even when you don't see it Right. So this means that we have to let go of doubt, we have to let go of anxiety and we have to rest again in the faithfulness of god's word.
Speaker 2:And my hands are burning again right, and so if you partnered with any words or any thoughts of what god can't do or how he's going to do it, repent, repent. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you find scriptures that tell you that you can trust in him, that you can rest in him, that you can rely on him, that he's your provider, that he's your healer, that he's your redeemer and you stand on those scriptures and you partner with those words and you come out of agreement with your mouth. God, I'm sorry. Forgive me for not believing in what you said, that I can't have. Forgive me for doubting that you can help me do this.
Speaker 1:And let James 1 and 5 and 8 be something that actually you stand on. And James 1 and 5 and 8, or 1, 5 through 8 says let me see, because this is going to be key to really tie into what my wife said.
Speaker 1:Verse 5 says I didn't even know that was coming after that If you need wisdom, ask our generous God and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking, but when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and this is really, really, really key, because if God has told you something or promised you something, or you are believing God for something, you have to just stick with that. You can't go back and forth like, oh my gosh, why is this not happening? Is he going to do it? Is he not going to do it? That's being double-minded. You have to stand on God's word.
Speaker 1:And it literally is a situation when you, when the scripture talks about being double-minded, what comes to mind is God speaking a word over your life and saying that it's done. Yeah. So it's literally you trusting God for what God spoke, or you trying to do it your way. So we see an example of that for what God spoke, or you trying to do it your way. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So we see an example of that with Abraham and Sarah. God spoke a word over their lives, and when God spoke that word over their lives, he stated that he would perform it right, or even if there was a misunderstanding, they never went back, so they tried to bring the word to pass. That's being double-minded. And even when the angel of the lord was speaking to abraham I believe it was the angel of the lord- or the lord.
Speaker 1:One of the two, abraham, still tried to get the promise fulfilled by way of eyes, I mean by way of uh ishmael right, but the lord said no he said no right, and I believe you don't expect me to bless that?
Speaker 3:no, because that was your way of trying to right, you're being double-minded right?
Speaker 1:so, um, and that goes into what was you saying, they didn't receive isaac because of the lord.
Speaker 2:They did it out of their own strength and so rest requires isaac, I meant ishmael, yeah so rest requires consistency and faith.
Speaker 1:If god said it, that settles it right yeah and babe, do you want to uh dig into real quick the fruit of west rest peace, clarity and freedom the fruit of west of west silly rabbit tricks are the fruit of rest, peace, clarity and freedom.
Speaker 2:So resting in him brings freedom from striving clarity of purpose, peace beyond all understanding. And it's peace beyond all understanding meaning it's a rest, it's a peace. You don't have to think about how it's going to happen when it's going to happen. Who's going?
Speaker 1:to come by. It's simple when peace beyond understanding, understanding it don't make sense you should not have peace based upon what you're dealing with. Yet you still have it because you've rested in him right.
Speaker 2:but, and even in resting in him, you still have to put on your full armor of god, because the enemy is going to continue to keep throwing things at you to keep you from being peaceful. He comes to steal, he's going to try and steal your peace.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:He's going to try and steal your joy, and he does it all the time. But, we have to remember to put on our full armor of God, which we do every morning, yeah, every morning, because the enemy will be trying to come for us.
Speaker 1:It's not easy, it's not easy, it is not easy. No, and we have to remember to do it and we have to remember to remain committed, and we struggle sometimes with some words that God has spoken of our lives. Yes, because we're human. Yeah. And so, even as we are discussing this week's episode, it resonates with us as well, and it places us in the position of having to do self-reflections too to make sure we're resting in the word of God or the words of God spoken over our lives.
Speaker 1:So, um, final reflection, I guess I would say this and then I'll hand it over to my wife to end out say this and then I'll hand it over to my wife to end out, and this is totally off subject. We have to be very careful with using the word false prophet. We have to be very careful with referring to prophets as witches. We have to be very careful with accusing people of purposefully practicing divination. We have to be very careful with very easily throwing around the word heresy and doctrines of Satan or doctrines of demons.
Speaker 1:I am really concerned with the body of Christ that we so easily throw these things around. I am really concerned with the body of christ because we forget that they refer to jesus as essentially someone that was driven by demons. Right. I am very concerned because when jesus explained to them what blasphemy against the holy spirit was, it was them referring to him being driven by demons when he was being guided and led by the holy spirit. So what? We don't understand. When you do that unknowingly, you are literally blasphemy against the holy spirit. That's very dangerous. So we have to stop. My wife and I, she can attest. I'm very slow to call someone a false prophet.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:I'm very slow to speak against a prophet that's been called by God, unless God tells me specifically as something that's going on with them. And even then I leave them in the hands of God, because even Satan, gabriel or Gabrielle did not speak against him, even when he was wrong, even when he went against God Gabrielle did not fix his lips to speak against Satan.
Speaker 2:No, because he's like God rebukes you.
Speaker 1:He said God rebukes you God rebukes you, so we got to rebukes you.
Speaker 2:God rebukes you.
Speaker 1:So we got to be real careful, and I see we do this a lot and it's so much division within the body of Christ, partly because we're seeing the Bible play out. The church still have modern day Pharisees and some of y'all leaders, many of y'all leaders are Pharisees.
Speaker 1:Many of the quote unquote men and women of God that you all look to, that we all we look to at one point in time, they're Pharisees. They don't have a relationship with God. As I was praying this morning, something God was dealing with me on is that many, like on a Sunday morning, there are so many churches that gather for worship not even realizing that God is not there.
Speaker 2:Right, because they're so caught up in their emotions.
Speaker 1:God is not there, I'm sorry. I'm trying to find a scripture.
Speaker 1:God is not there and even our very worship is something that God was dealing with me yesterday at church. Even our very worship is self-centered, our worship is self-centered, our worship is self-centered. So, please, I'm I'm asking you all, be very careful of listening to people. Who's calling people witches. Who's calling people false prophets witches. Who's calling people false prophets. Who's saying that people is practicing divination, even if a man of God, a woman of God, falls short, that don't make them a witch, that don't make them a false prophet, and that is for God to handle, not you. That is for God to handle it is.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to do it because the Bible says touch not my anointing, neither do my prophets any harm. That is between them and God. Right, right.
Speaker 1:And I said it last week, I believe, or the week before stop listening to people, stop entertaining channels. Stop entertaining people who have made it a practice to gossip. If all they have to do is talk about everybody and everything they're doing wrong, and that is their channel, you should not be listening to them, because that is very much so. A person or people that are being driven by their flesh. That is Galatians 5. Right, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no, go ahead.
Speaker 1:But that's it, because we got to get right in. So what do you have to say, babe?
Speaker 2:Oh no, I was looking at Galatians 6. It says Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly or spiritual should gently and humbly help that person back to the right path and be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other's burdens and in this way, obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. So it's like who are you to come for this person? And they'll say, oh, we're supposed to be exposing. And it says, right here, you who are spiritual, you should be able to spiritually locate this person, pray for this person spiritually, go to God and pray for them.
Speaker 1:Here's what I would tell you.
Speaker 2:As God leads you to and allow him to do the rest.
Speaker 1:Here's what I would say to you If my father, which are in heaven, if he is revealing things to my wife and I about prophets, or a particular prophet that I'm thinking of last year, and showcase what was going on with them, yet tell me to pray, why is he telling me to pray but telling you to expose? Why is God telling you to expose someone you don't personally know?
Speaker 2:right, you don't personally have a relationship with them, because if you personally had a relationship with them, you would go to them because that's your brother or that's your sister. Just like, if I have a problem with my brother or I have a problem with my sister, I go to my brother, my sister.
Speaker 1:You have a private conversation with them.
Speaker 2:And if they don't listen, I go to my dad. Hey dad, this is what's going on with such and such and such.
Speaker 1:And even if you want to be, what do you think about it? Even if you want to go the route that it was stated, you will go to them first. Then you will go to the elders in the church, but you don't go to their church. So how are you going to go to the elders in the church and then you will, from there, speak to them about, or speak about, what they're dealing with, to the church? The elders would expose them.
Speaker 2:But y'all are so used to going on YouTube and watching people talk about other people when all they should be doing is teaching about Christ, unless they other people when all they should be doing is teaching about christ. Unless they they have a church and they want to expose their own people, that's fine, but we're talking about people who just have literally tmz channels for christ it's, it's a lot of tmz channels for christ or claiming to be for christ that is nothing but but gossip. But if you remove the gossip.
Speaker 1:If you remove that, what is the? Do not tell me that God has called you to gossip. No. Because you never saw Christ partaking in that and he's our ultimate example you never saw Paul partaking in that.
Speaker 2:And then celebrating people's falls because you exposed them, you didn't pray for them, no, you just told pray for them no. You just told the world about their sin.
Speaker 1:Shame on you. Shame on you and you will have to answer to God. And I would hate to be in that situation and I know it's not God, because God has showcased things to us and he told us either to pray or I'm showing this to you because I don't want you listening to them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a way that you handle things, for sure.
Speaker 1:How are we all doing all this stuff? When Paul said I could speak of all of these things but I'm not going to. But you, god told you, oh, to go onto YouTube and prophesy to this person you've never met.
Speaker 2:You are in the pulpits talking about people, people you don't even know.
Speaker 1:Y'all just ridiculous Y'all. The problem is and I'm going to just call it how it- is You're not that important.
Speaker 1:Your leaders don't know God. Your leaders don't have a personal relationship because there are times when we want to go in on people and he won't let us. That's called having a personal relationship. When we are justified in doing it, then the Holy Spirit won't let us move. That's having a personal relationship. I know you don't because I see how you move, Some of you. I know you don't because God told me you don't. But we ain't going to go there. We're going to let it be what it is. This is the final episode, so we're not going to. This is an interesting place to end it, Babe. Where do we end at?
Speaker 1:Because I know we got to get ready to go Do with this information what you may. That's between you all and God. Please don't entertain people like that.
Speaker 2:Okay, I guess last minute reflections, so we could close out is asking yourself, or asking God to reveal to you what you may be carrying, that he can help you with what you may be still struggling with, that he can help you heal from. Why are you acting the way and so, and even when you have an emotion, God? Why am I acting the way and so, and even when you have an emotion? God, why am I feeling this way? So that he can give you an answer? So you don't have to carry it because you know why you're feeling this way. You don't have to respond to it. You don't have to respond to it. You allow God to respond to it, yeah, or allow him to lead you on how you should approach this when you're feeling this way or you're dealing with certain struggles, and then also, like I said before, setting yourself, apart from those agreements that you came into about the doubts about what God is going to do for you and I think that's it yeah, um, I know this has been.
Speaker 1:This is episode 28, and I want to say it again I'm praying that god would allow us to kind of do a bonus episode or something like that.
Speaker 2:But or a live or something. I don't know. We'll see. We don't. We don't know what we're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1:We don't. Well, I'm supposed to be writing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But prayerfully as we go into this three-month hiatus we can come back and really kind of pulse here in between. We really appreciate you all. We care so much for you all we love you all we do Our brothers and sisters in the faith. We are so grateful for the community that's being built, and I know some comments.
Speaker 2:We have not responded to yet Our big sisters and we apologize Our little sisters, our big brothers, little brothers, we love you. We will get to your comments.
Speaker 1:We will. You know it's been so much going on. It has been. We appreciate you all and don't stop Like, keep listening to the episodes, Keep sharing.
Speaker 2:And while we're I'm sorry, baby Go ahead. While we're on a hiatus, you guys should be on one too From distractions from people, from places. Just really take some time and rest in the Lord.
Speaker 1:And if you have any questions, we'll definitely be checking everything and responding as we can, as we're going through this process and you know we're praying. If God allows us to do a bonus episode at some point, we will, but you know you will see us, at the very least three months from now, starting fresh with season two.
Speaker 1:We don't know what season two is going to entail we have no clue what the Father is going to have us discussing in season two. It should be interesting, but, yeah, yeah, we appreciate you, we love you. Uh, we're praying for you. Yeah, we're praying over these episodes. Uh, we're praying to this. It's a blessing. And, for those, if you haven't listened to the previous, go back and listen to the previous ones. Listen to all of it.
