podcast where faith, faith fuels the journey, truth flights the way,

19
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,719
encourage leads the charge. Hold up now, I'm your host,

20
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,879
doctor Z. And today were talking about something we all

21
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,439
need in these times, something serious. I just got to

22
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,120
talk about it. You know, it's the power of resilience.

23
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,239
It's bouncing back from life's challenges. You know, we all

24
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,719
go through things sometimes, but it's in those times that

25
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:01,519
we have to know how to bounce's back and be resilience.

26
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:07,200
And overcome the challenges and have courage to keep going

27
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:13,199
and moving forward and overcome those challenges. Now, first off,

28
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,360
I going to get going and talk about what resilience is.

29
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:20,800
You know, sometimes people don't understand. I know a lot

30
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,199
of us know what resilience is, especially us bold ones

31
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:27,599
because we've been through it in life, you know. But

32
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:32,759
resilience is more than just surviving hardship. You know, it's

33
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,039
the ability to rise again and to fall and stand,

34
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,719
to be shaken but not destroyed. And I did do

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,159
a poem about rising and being shaken up and resilience.

36
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,080
It's on the Empowerment Blueprint podcast. If you haven't heard it, guys,

37
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,159
go check it out. It's a great poem. I wrote

38
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,879
it for Black History Month. And let me get back

39
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:05,319
on topic. But yeah, to fall and stand, to be

40
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:10,199
shaken but not destroyed, you know, to overcome, to be resilience.

41
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,159
And in a Bible and Second Corinthians, fourth chapter eight

42
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,000
through ninth, first it says that we are hard pressed

43
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,159
on every side, but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair,

44
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:32,960
persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. So

45
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,919
resilience is that God given bounce back power, and we

46
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,199
got to know how to use that. You know, it

47
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,719
doesn't mean you don't cry. It doesn't mean that you're

48
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:48,000
not gonna get tired or feel pain. It just means

49
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,759
that you refuse to stay down. You refuse to back down.

50
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:55,560
You're gonna refuse to give up when things happen in life,

51
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,280
and sometimes life happens to us. But God built us

52
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:05,759
strong to be able to be resilient and bounce back

53
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,599
in a powerful way whenever things like that do happen

54
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,759
to us. Now I'm gonna get into the setback that

55
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:18,360
sets you up, you know, the setback. Oh my god,

56
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,279
both once we know about that, huh excuse me, boas

57
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:29,839
we know about those setbacks. Oooh, those those setups you know. Now,

58
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:36,720
some of the greatest stories of triumph begin with tragedy,

59
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,160
loss or disappointment, you know. So in the Bible, there's

60
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:51,040
some stories of actual triumph, you know, and tragedy, loss

61
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:54,079
and disappointment. Like I was saying, the first one I'm

62
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:58,600
gonna talk about is Joseph. He was thrown in a pit,

63
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:06,800
false accused, imprisoned, and still ended up in the palace. Okay,

64
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,360
Joseph went through it. Baby and a pit false accused. Hey,

65
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,040
a lot of us go through this every single day

66
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,959
and falsely imprisoned also too. Come on now, but guess

67
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,279
what God gave us the gifts to be resilience and

68
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:33,040
a bounce back and to overcome through those tragedies and disappointments.

69
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,199
The second story of that's in the Bible is Job.

70
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:43,920
He lost everything, but God restored him double. And you know,

71
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:47,920
I can say in my life experiences, I've lost everything

72
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,199
before and what God did for me is what a

73
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,279
friend told me was gonna happen. God restored it double triple,

74
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,839
quadruple and so and still getting blessed to this day.

75
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,600
So God, like I said, gave us the gift to

76
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:20,399
bounce back double triple, quadruple and be better. Okay, the second,

77
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,759
well not the second, but the third amazing story. One

78
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,480
of my favorites is Jesus. He was crucified, he was

79
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,319
hung up on the cross that you know, we all

80
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:34,519
know the story of what happened to Jesus Christ. But

81
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,720
three days later he got up. Why because he was

82
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,040
resilient and he had that power within him that God

83
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,720
gave him to bounce back, and he refused to stay

84
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:56,560
down and he rose on the third day. Now, hear me,

85
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:05,639
that situation that almost broke you, it's setting the stage

86
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,360
for a comeback. Listen to me, believe me, I've been there,

87
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:18,240
I've done that. Resilience is spiritual warfare. And when you rise,

88
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:23,720
hell loses. The devil's not gonna win the day. And

89
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:29,519
when you keep going, generational curses break. And when you

90
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:33,759
don't give up, you provide. Well, no, when you don't

91
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
give up, let me get it right. You prove the

92
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,920
enemy wrong. And that's what we're here to do. That's

93
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:44,639
what God blessed us to do. That's why God instilled

94
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,639
in us resilience to be able to fight back against

95
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:55,399
the wilds and have resilience against spiritual warfare. Now, US

96
00:07:55,439 --> 00:08:01,199
bold winds know about that, Boas and US general curse breakers,

97
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,120
we know about that also because we've been through hell

98
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:07,439
and we've been back and we fought to get back

99
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:14,160
where we need it to be. Now, how to cultivate resilience?

100
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,639
How do you do this? Because everyone hasn't had that yet.

101
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,839
You know, resilience isn't natural. I can tell you that.

102
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,439
Not everyone's the same. You know, it is developed. It

103
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:32,240
does take time. It's not gonna happen overnight, but here's

104
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,519
how you build it. The first thing you gotta do

105
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,279
is root yourself in the word. Your emotions shift, but

106
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,440
God's truth remains. So it says in Psalm chapter of

107
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,399
first verse, those who trust in the Lord are like

108
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,519
Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken. So if you got

109
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:00,919
to root yourself in a word, open up that, get

110
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,200
that book, and that will help you to start to

111
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,000
grow and build up your resilience to be able to

112
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:14,399
fight back. Number two, speak life over yourself. Your word

113
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:22,120
shape your reality. Say I will rise, I will heal,

114
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,960
I will overcome, I will be better. And another one

115
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,240
that I know about is that I am I am affirmation.

116
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:36,399
Excuse me, you can try those also, I am wonderful,

117
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,360
I am amazing, I am great, and I or I

118
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,919
will be better, or I will be stronger next time,

119
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:47,960
or I will work on this or that. You know,

120
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,399
speak life over yourself and believe me, you're gonna see

121
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,960
a change happen. It's not gonna happen overnight, but you'll

122
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,639
start feeling it and you'll have resilience and you'll see

123
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,519
yourself develop over time. Next, surround yourself with faith filled people.

124
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,240
You need warriors around you, not worriors. Get rid of

125
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:19,159
those toxic individuals. We only need bonds around us. So

126
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,840
if you got some people around you that's not faithful,

127
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,480
and they worrying you and getting on your nerves and

128
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960
bothering you more than they're helping you out and supporting you,

129
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,639
get rid of those folks and surround yourself with faithful

130
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:36,639
people that will support you in your path, in your

131
00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:41,080
journey for resilience and building that up and developing that. Okay, next,

132
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,840
take care of your body and mind. It's so important.

133
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:50,000
It's so important. I heard someone today saying, oh, I

134
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,240
don't meditate. No, I don't do that. That's not what

135
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
I do. I do something else. Well, you know what,

136
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,559
Meditation is important regardless if you don't do it, maybe

137
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,240
someone else does it. But it is a tool that

138
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,960
you can use. So there's all other types of tools

139
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,639
you can use too, like eating healthy and exercising and

140
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,519
mentally and spiritually and emotionally taking care of yourself too.

141
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,159
You know, that's the same of that's the same thing

142
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,039
as taking care of your body and your mind. So

143
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,440
resilience requires rest. It's okay to pause, you know, Jesus rested,

144
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,919
and so should you. Because again, guess what I be resting.

145
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,720
I be getting my risk us bold ones beget I

146
00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:36,440
risk boom. You know what I'm saying, and a generation

147
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,799
of curse breakers do too, because it's hard work out

148
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,679
here in these streets. You know what I'm saying. I

149
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:47,320
got a bold move tip for you. All right, write

150
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,759
this down. Write down three things you've overcome in life. Ooh,

151
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:55,360
that's gonna help you so much to see your resilience,

152
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:59,200
reflect on what it taught you. You didn't make it

153
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,240
through that just to survive, you know, you made it

154
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,360
to teach, to empower to lead. So make sure you

155
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,039
write those three things down, all right. And now I'm

156
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,200
just gonna go over the test which becomes your testimony. Oo.

157
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,120
When you got that testimony. Oh yes, everything you faced

158
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,519
is not wasted. Your resilience is not just for you.

159
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,159
It's for the ones watching you, the ones coming behind you,

160
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,200
the ones who need to know that you can be

161
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:41,159
knocked down and still rise in power. In Revelations Chapter

162
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,559
twelve eleven verse, it says they overcame by the blood

163
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,799
of the lamb and by the word of their testimony.

164
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,000
So your bounce back. Story is a weapon. It's a light,

165
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,240
a road map, so share own it and let it

166
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,080
remind you that the power of God lives in you.

167
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,919
Is not on you, it's in you, and that nothing

168
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:13,279
in your face can cancel His plan for your life. Now,

169
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,279
I'm gonna get into my final words and prayers before

170
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,960
I get out of here tonight. Guys, Now, I want

171
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,639
to say that you may feel tired, but you're not finished.

172
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,559
And you may have lost something. You might have lost everything,

173
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,559
but you haven't lost everything. You know. You might have

174
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,440
lost everything you thought you lost everything, but that's an illusion.

175
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:38,960
You haven't lost everything. You still have some stuff left,

176
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,200
you know, And as long as you're still breathing, you've

177
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:51,519
got purpose and power. So let's pray God, thank you

178
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:57,559
for resilience. Thank you that we're not defined by our pain,

179
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,440
but by your promise. Help us to rise, to trust

180
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:08,399
and to walk in victory no matter what life throws

181
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,240
at us. Remind us that through you we can recover,

182
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,919
we can rebuild, and we can come back stronger than before.

183
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:26,679
In Jesus' name, I pray Amen. All right, Thank you

184
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:33,080
both once for tuning in bo to another amazing episode

185
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:40,240
of living boldly with doctor Z. And remember resilience isn't

186
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:47,399
weakness hiding pain no way, it's strength rising with purpose

187
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:54,240
