Falling in love with Jeezesus. It's the best thing I've ever ever done.
I'm bad with something for you to think about. Seriously, Guys and girls,
listen, falling in love with Jesus is the best thing hmm I've ever
done. I get so emotional when I think about it. And the reason
why I get so emotional because you don't know what He's done for me.
You don't know how how he has kept me from danger so many times.
You don't know how he's changed my Life's thankful. I'm so grateful. I
know that there is so much controversy about the Bible. I know there is
so much controversy about Jesus as God. All he wants you to do is
serve him. Even if you think Jesus is God, he just wants you
to serve him. I don't believe Jesus is God because the Bible specifically talks
about each and that's not what this episode is about. But I know Jesus
is awesome. And the Bible tells us you cannot get to the Father lest
you go through the Son, and that alone tell you they're not the same.
They're on one accord as one, but they're not the same. I
grew up in church. I gave my life to Christ when I was twelve
years old. And I've talked about this before on this podcast. But when
I gave my life to Christ, I went on to live how I wanted
to live. I didn't think about Jesus watching me, God seeing and knows
everything. I did not think about it. I'm not gonna lie to anyone.
I didn't. I know he had his hand on me because I did
some foolishness. I did some foolishness. I did nothing that ever would put
me in trouble with the law or anything like that. But I did some
foolishness as a young woman, but nothing really really out there. I've never
been that type of woman. But I've done some stuff, and through all
of my mass God kept me. God kept me. I mean, I
have gone through some things. I've gone through some experiences where I'm not gonna
say I should have been dead, because if I should have been dead,
I would have been dead. I don't like to hear people say, well,
I should I should be dead. No, if you were supposed to
be dead, you would be dead. So I'm not gonna say that.
But I could have lost my life for instances, for sure, by gunshot,
electrocution wreck, I mean, severely, injuring myself, messing with a
garbage disposal. I mean so much. The Angels have covered me so many
times, and they covered me even when I was in my mess. So
when I gave my life to Christ, and you know I I I've been
singing. I I don't have the greatest voice, but I love to sing.
I write my own lyrics. And let me tell you, I've been
singing since I was about well, i'll put it like this, in a
gospel group, singing with adults since I was eleven, but long before that,
because I had a family group also a gospel group, and all I
know is gospel. I dedicated my life when I was seventeen and I made
a promise to the Lord that I would never sing anything but gospel. And
I've had opportunities, but I've never chosen anything but gospel all my life.
And let me tell you when I was in my thirties, my late thirties
at that is when I really started acknowledging the Lord and taking notice. I
mean I always was kind of you know that individual. As I got older,
recognizing Jesus and God. But you know, and I've been in church
my entire life. Never not a time that I was not going to church.
So I've been in church my whole entire life. But I was a
hypocrite, straight up. I was a hypocrite. Period. I was a
hypocrite, farticating, you know, doing things that I shouldn't have been doing,
straight up hypocrite in church, singing the gospel, hypocrite. I put
together a whole vocational Bible school, put the whole program together. Hypocrite,
directed choir, hypocrite. I sung even over in Europe. Hypocrite. Oh
yeah, you know the Bible say, you profess me from your lips,
but your heart is far from me. Honestly, I don't even know if
I was professing him with my lips. I was just singing and doing things,
you know, director choirs and stuff like that. I don't know if
I ever was like I'm a child of God. I don't remember that.
But I do know I was being a hypocrite. I understand that now.
I didn't then because I wasn't thinking on that level. Oh let me tell
you. I used to go to church and I had a little mini skirt
on you know, a upper ball my knees. Never wore a real high
mini skirt, but it was a miniskirttheless up above my knee. You know
where you have to sit and cover yourself if you got to cover yourself.
It's too short. Hello, it's too short if you have to cover your
legs. So I'm sitting up there, got my legs covered because when I
sit down to the skirt move up a little higher. Hypocrite. But let
me tell you, once I truly started seeking after the Lord, and my
heart was convicted, and my life changed. My thoughts changed, my dress
changed, my mind, words changed, every part of me changed. I
never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever went back to it
when I came out of the world. I never wanted to go back.
I didn't miss partying, I didn't miss drinking. I didn't miss none of
it. I never didn't recreational drugs of no sort ever ever, ever,
never wanted to, never had any desire. But I did used to drink
a little bit, never anything crazy, but still nevertheless, but once I
gave it all up, never you never wanted to go back to it.
Nothing I s Maybe people think something is wrong with me. But that's fine.
But when I tell you I don't care about the things of the world,
oh my goodness, I don't. I don't. Sometime I just give
things away because if I'm not using them, what to use of you know,
it makes no sense, So I just give stuff away. People can't
believe it. I just need enough to go day to day. I don't
need a lot of things. I'm not into that. I'm not into the
world. I don't care what the world says. I don't care if the
world says you got to have this, you have to have that. You
have to look this way. You have to look at you know, who
make up the world, broken people, some of you. You're doing all
kinds of things, listening to broken people, society, broken people. That's
why you got to get your eyes on the Lord and off of the world.
The world just distracting. I mean, if you don't pull yourself away,
you'll find yourself almost crazy, nervous, full of paranoia because every turn
radio, TV, iPad, telephone, whatever, you listening to horrible,
horrible things every single day. And I know I have to disconnect sometimes because
I'll give enough of that. On my job, I give enough of dealing
with mess on my job, listening to people on both sides for management officials,
and I've had to deal with as high as the general management officials and
employees. So I listen to it every single day. I have not become
numb to it. But ah, my goodness, it could be annoying because
it's so much foolishness. So I choose when I leave work, I don't
even think about it, not for a second. For what. I don't
think about it, and I mean I don't think about it. I totally
disconnect. I totally disconnec because everything around you is so distracting and I'm not
falling for that. I'm not falling for the okay, do You're not gonna
pull on me over on that side. That's why I don't care what people
say. If you want to do this or that, do you boo boo,
but not me. I live my life as if God is watching,
because he is. I live my life to be pleasing to the eye side
of God, not man. Please. Man has no heaven or hell to
put me. But if I listen to them, I can end up in
hell and know I don't choose that Heaven is my goal. That's my focus.
So my eyes is not on the world. You know, they're not
on the world, They're on heaven. Heaven is in my view. A
good friend of mine who passed away, he was a national gospel singer,
wrote some heaven in view, that's my goal. So when I gave my
life to Christ, I've never been the same. So when you hear people
say straddle the fence, you know, Teter Tarring, listen, there should
be no struggle. There should be no struggle. I don't. I don't
see personally why people struggle because I don't see no reason to struggle, either
for him or you are against him. If you want the world, that's
your choice. People get angry with God. Oh well, if God is
real, why did he allowed this? Why did he allowed that? Because
it's what you wanted. A lot of you want things and then you give
them and now you have a problem. And don't get me wrong, I'm
not saying you want things to happen like lose your child, or your child
do something heendeous, or you lose some loved one, or something terrible happened
to your loved one. I'm not talking about those things, but those things
do happen because of other things that led up to them. Most times,
most times a lot of people have recks because they're speeding and lose control,
or they're being distracted while driving something. I'm just trying to make you understand.
People want to blame God, and you're blaming the wrong person. And
I will always tell you. Read Genesis. It'll tell you. Anybody out
there, you all over the world, read Genesis, the Book of Genesis,
and it will tell you exactly why we living in evil, wicked,
awful, dark, satanic, the money mean, cruel world because that's the
way people have made it because of who people are. God didn't intend this
for us. Read Genesis. It'll tell you why. It's just like with
Eve and the serpent and crazy Adam followed up behind em, same things happening
to this day. Men are led just as easily to this day. Haven't
learned nothing. That's why we have to deal with the things that we deal
with in this world. It's not God, that's not what he intended for
us. We chose that you may not have chosen, but those before you
chose it for you. And we all, none of us are except we
all have to suffer because of that, is it fair. I'm not here
to say I wish it wasn't that way, but it is what it is.
So I don't dwell on it. I just hey, I understand when
I hear horrible things that happen, I know it's wickedness at work, because
the Bible tells us for we wrestle out against flesh and blood, so we're
dealing with supernatural. Ever, we're dealing with natural. You have supernatural demons
and you have natural demons. That's just the way it is. That's the
way it is. People open themselves up to demonic entities every second of the
day, and a lot of people don't even know what they're doing, have
no clue what they're doing, and then they can't handle what they've opened themselves
up to a need. They're overcome by it, things that they never should
got into in the first place. So my focus. The devil has nothing.
He has everyone food. He has nothing to offer you, nothing,
nothing, do you hear me nothing. He can't even put you in hell.
He don't have no power to do that. He the devil, cannot
even put you in hell because he's already hell bound. That is his destination.
He knows it. He don't even have the power to put you in
hell, but he make millions upon millions upon millions people believe that he have
power. If he had power, do you think he would be held bound?
No, But he don't have a choice because that's his destination Hell.
But the thing is, he want to trick you into believing he has this
kingdom. He don't. God has control over hell too. But the devil
have you food. He make you think the things that you see with your
eyes, the things you can touch, the tangible things. He make you
think they are everything you need. It's a trick. He know you can't
take anything with you. He know it. He's just tricking you. Make
it look good, make it feel good, make it taste good, knowing
all alonge it's bad for you. But that's how he trick and manipulate.
But the Bible said resist the devil in here what flee? But instead of
running away, you're running to him for fame, fortune, notoriety, validation,
recognition, money, titles, status, position, power, love a
man. It's crazy. When you die, your soul dies, your spirit
man rises up out of you, and that is what's gonna live forever.
That spirit man, that spirit woman somewhere else now here on earth. But
what you chose here on earth, you're going to according to how you lived
here on earth. When you leave your natural body, you're gonna go to
one or the other side of the gulf until RESI you know, Judgment day.
One side is good on the other side, and uh, nobody should
wanna go but the shore where you're going. And guess what. The devil
can't put you in either or the Bible say to be absent from the body
is to be present with the Lord. So you go into that spiritual realm.
And when you enter in that spiritual realm, you are going to whatever
side according to what you chose while you were living here on earth. That's
why I can't be distracted. I don't care who come, I don't care
who goes. I cannot be distracted. Your life was given to you,
mine was given to me. And we're all here to serve the Lord and
to do good unto one another, to love one another. But people got
it all wrong. They think it's about things and possessions and all of that.
If you drop dead in the next second, if I drop dead in
the next second, for me, it's all right, it's our right.
But for many of you, m m m m mm hmm. Nothing you
fought hard, nothing, you you fought hard for nothing. You stepped on
next backs and in and everything else. Nothing you could knived and lied and
stilled and everything to get can you take with you nothing. That's why I
choose Jesus, because He's been so good to me. When I had no
one, I mean not one single person, I could look to the hills
when I had no support. I could look to the hills when the devil
tried to take my mind. And I've been in that situation. When I
came in contact with a supernatural being, I could look to the hills.
In every situation I knew I was not by myself. I knew I could
look to the hills once comes my help. I knew it. I knew
it. And and people don't understand. People don't understand that I've gone through
tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, and I'm going through one right now that will
be with me for the rest of my life. And yes, some days
I cry because it's so it's so unbelievable, and it's so it's just so
crazy and I cry some days, but trust and believe me, and I
tell you I'm all right, and I know where my help comes from.
I'm alright. I know things are gonna happen in this world. I didn't
think that was gonna happen in my life. I didn't never think I'm going
I would go through what I'm going through because of someone, but I am.
But you know what, I never got angry at God. You know
I did say. I've lived my life for years and years and years doing
the right thing, no doubt, no straddling the fence, because there's no
fence to straddling, no doubt of whether I wanted to be on the Lord
side. I've been pleased in your sight. I don't understand why I have
to go through this, but you know, the Holy Spirit said, why
not you? I know you can handle it. I knew you could,
and it settled me in my spirit because I know I can handle it too,
because I already pray the prayer long before I've encountered what I'm going through.
Whatever happens, Lord, no matter how horrible it may appear, let
me be able to stand. And He has been keeping me, and I'm
telling you this is horrific. But outside of that, my family have been
stricken with death about twenty nine twenty eight, twenty nine death since twenty eighteen,
six years. I thought it was seven, but it's six years.
Twenty eight, twenty nine deaths in my family, cousins, uncle's, auntie's,
mom, dad, grandchild. Twenty eight twenty nine deaths and six years.
Not too many families can say that. There may be a few could
say more, but that's terrible, and guess what, people still are not
changing. That's why my focus is on heaven. I don't care what nobody
think, believe me or not. I lived my life as if God watching
all of the time, indoors and outdoors, because cause there's a heaven and
that's where I'm going. That's my choice. I don't know what you choose,
but for me, because for me, I don't want nothing else.
I don't need anyone to validate me, anyone to make me feel good,
anyone to pump me up, motivate. No. I do all that for
myself. I'm not trying to outdo anyone. I'm just being mean. I'm
just being me. I don't allow people to take me for granted. I
don't allow people to misuse my love, my friendship because I'm good to people,
but don't try to take advantage. Then I have to cut you loose.
Oh I can't cut you loose. I still love you, but I
won't deal with you like that because you don't mean me any good. So
you have to have discernment, and that's something you have to pray for it.
That's one of the gifts you have to pray for that. You have
to pray for it. Some people be thinking, oh, my intuition,
that's different from discernment. It's different. So I just I'm just telling you
about me. You know, we have fruit, southern spirits, we have
gifts, other spirits and discernment. You know, you just pray for it
and know that it is different from being intuitive. People turn to everything,
They turn to everything, They turn to everyone for the answers, but they
don't turn to Jesus when he have all the answers. Some things we're never
gonna know. I don't care how brilliant you are. If you're a scientist
and you're just super brilliant, it don't matter. You're never gonna know the
mysteries they will never be uncovered. You'll know when you step out of life's
back door into that spiritual realm. So I don't even worry about it.
So what things exist that we don't know about, I'm not racking my brain
about it. Some things will cause you to want us seek after it,
but it's just a distraction. And I'm with that way for a little bit.
But I had to I had a docent reality while doing that. I'll
just leave it like that. So there's so much in the world that's going
on that's distracting. But for me, my focus is Christ. The world,
the things of the world is. It don't mean to me what it
means to most people. It just don't. I'm a simple person. People
see me and they think I'm bougie. They think I'm uppity. I'm so
far from that. But guess what, I don't care what people think.
You have the wrong perception. That's not my problem. You know, I
don't deal with a lot of people because one thing that I do know is
people, because I've studied people for many, many, many years, and
it's not a lot of difference when it comes to minds and hearts. So
when you fall in love with Jesus, your life will never be the same.
If you're doing the same things, something is wrong. There is no
way you can live for Jesus. You can live for God and do the
same things, talk with the same filthy mouth. There is no way.
You're not gonna dress in provocative and revealing ways in public. Now. If
you marry and you want to do that for your boom, that's fine,
but you're not gonna do it for the world to see. You can dress
very sexy with all your clothes on, very sexy. You know things have
to change. You can't dress the same, you don't think the same,
you don't speak the same. All of that changes. When you really,
really, really really have fallen in love and you're really serving Christ. You're
a new creature. And anybody who's doing the same things you need to go
back because you have not become that new creature. You have not become that
new creature. That's just fact, because you will never be the same when
you really come in contact with Jesus, when you really make that change,
you will never be the same. And I'm telling you it is so good.
It's the best thing ever. You don't worry when people are not there.
You're still good. When they don't support you, you still good.
When they don't love you, You're still good. I mean, you don't
worry about stuff like that. It don't matter. When you falling in love
with Jesus, it will give you a peace that you don't even understand.
And I'm telling you a peace that surpasses all understanding. You will not even
understand it, but you know why you have it. So trust me when
I tell you. There is a difference between the saints and the ants.
The ants are not saints, and that may sound funny, but it's the
truth. There is a difference. And God said he was gonna separate the
weed from the tear. You can fake it, pretend with the world.
You can profess him with your mouth, but your hearts are far from him.
But He's gonna do the separating. So I choose Jesus. You choose
whoever you want. But for me, falling in love with him was the
best thing I could ever done. If it wasn't for him, I don't
know where I'd be right now, what I'll be doing, how I'll be
thinking. I just thank God, hallelujah. I thank God for saving little
wretched soul like mine, and I mean that from the depths of my heart
and soul. And I hope that some of you listen, that you choose
Jesus, because that's the only way to the Father is through the Son.
And if heaven is you're gone, there has to be changed. You have
to fall in love with them, and if you really love him, you'll
keep his commandments. A lot of you are asking, oh, I want
to God leave her a godly wife, when you're not even godly. Come
on now, you're asking for things a game that you don't possess within yourself.
You're asking for a godly man or woman when you're not even godly.
Come on, stop it, stop it. Don't look for someone to save
you, because they can't save you any ways. Only Jesus saves And as
far as naturally, you can't save yourself, because if you could, you
would do better, You would be the best you that you could be.
But most of you are looking for somebody else to make you happy when they're
not even happy. How an unhappy person gonna make you happy? How can
somebody love you the way you deserve to be loved when you can't even love
yourself? You will recognize it. You will not recognize love. That's why
so many people are in relationships unhappy. You may stay in them, but
you're unhappy. And that's why I say falling in love with Jesus is the
best thing you could ever do for yourself. You will see people differently,
you will see yourself differently. Your eyes will open up to things that you
failed to see before. And I'm not gonna keep talking about it. I'm
leaving it right there. It's up to you. Like any other episode,
