00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.160
Coffee with Kaylee Marine.
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:06.240
Let's increase our learning and obtain wise counsel.
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.599
Grab your coffee and let's get started.
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:11.519
Oh, do you hear that?
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.359
That's wisdom calling.
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.599
Let's answer that call.
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.679
Welcome back to Coffee with Kaylee Marine.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:28.000
As we wrap up our conversation with Hollywoods, we're diving into Proverbs 2, 11 through 22.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.320
Well, I think I guess we should go ahead and start with the next section.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:39.759
So um, but I'm gonna go back to actually verse 11 because I think it kind of goes out verse 12.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:01:33.439
Discretion will watch over you, discernment will guard you, to deliver you from the way of the e of evil, from speaking, from those speaking perverse things, who leave the straight paths to walk in ways of darkness, who rejoice in doing wrong, and delight in the perversity of evil, whose paths are crooked and are devious in their ways, to deliver you from a seducing woman, a wayward wife with seductive words, whoever forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God, for her house sinks down to death, and her tracks to the dead, none who go to her return, nor reach the path of life.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:53.040
So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous, for the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless will remain in it, but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous uprooted from it.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:16.879
But yeah, no, this and then you know, this whole section on the seeking the treasures of wisdom, you know, it's like if you do this, here are these nice things, just want you to know, with every action, there is a consequence.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:28.240
Uh, some people would say punishment, but sometimes um consequence can be a good thing, uh, meaning it is what was was the result of the action, okay?
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:35.759
And it's still considered a consequence, even if it's positive, um, at least in some behavioral uh psychology.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.039
And so you get the positives when you seek the wisdom.
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.840
But then we also have to have.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.080
Now, here's what happens when you don't do these things.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:57.039
Um, but these are the things that Adonai is telling us, these are evil, perverse things.
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.719
That the things that we should, if we have discernment and discretion, will stay away from, right?
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:10.879
Um now the nice thing is, is when discretion watches over us and discernment guards us, it delivers us from these things.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:23.599
So these things, a lot of there's a lot of prosperity gospel in the church today of, and I grew up with this concept that because we're believers, nothing bad can ever happen to us.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.439
Because now we're everything good, only good things for from now on.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.439
And if bad things are happening to you, that means you're a sinner and you've done something wrong.
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.120
Now, I'm not saying that that's not possible, but these things are here.
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.879
We live in the world.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:04:02.800
Yeshua hasn't come back yet, so this place still has the adversary, we still have um the world around us, and and scripture is very clear that we are to be set apart, we're not to be like the world, and but what we live in the world, so these things may happen.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:20.639
But then he says that if these things happen, I'm gonna protect you, I'm gonna guard you, I'm gonna, we're gonna move around this, and we're gonna do something different because we can let these things destroy us, we can let these things shape us as believers, and I know because I have been there.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:29.759
I have had um uh a first marriage that didn't go the way that I had planned, um, that I had to flee.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.240
Um and I did.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:41.759
I let that I let that affect me in a negative way, instead of just again, understanding the wisdom of it.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:05:01.519
And I'm not saying that I'm grateful that those things happened to me, but now that I sit here at 40, I can look back at 20 and see what happened and why, and I can say, the Lord was teaching me lessons even then, and I don't sit there and go, Oh, poor me, poor me, I lived this bad experience.
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.959
I can now help other people who have been in this experience.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.959
I look at that as wisdom, being able to take the experiences that I have and then therefore lift others up and say, I've been where you are.
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.120
Don't go into the world and think that there's answers for you there.
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:17.759
Come with me.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.959
Let's go disciple them and help them through it.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.279
Um, I've been in some bad places and done some things that I'm not very proud of.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:33.839
And his voice was in my ear all along, but I chose not to listen.
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.959
But then there was a path outside of it, and I finally took that path.
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:47.279
And it was like it a lot of people will think, okay, so I've done something bad, that means there's no way out now.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.519
Um, I had the way out, the Lord told me, and I didn't listen.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.480
But he's always there protecting us and waiting for us to kind of come to me.
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.319
Yeah, and pay attention.
00:05:58.560 -->

00:06:05.439
And and and then the miracle is that even though we've done this and we go, oh my gosh, what is wrong with me?
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:12.240
When you finally get in your what I consider your right mind, then he's like, Are you are you listening now?
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.319
Are you okay, good, good, good, good.
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:15.040
Now, let's go.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:15.920
Let's get out of this.
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:16.639
Let's go.
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.839
And and you can change, you can change it.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:27.439
Um, and even when it is happening, and you I mean, people deal with this all the time.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.839
Um that they're talking about seducing woman, a wayward wife.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.480
You know, you're in the midst of it.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:41.360
Um you just pray, you just keep praying through it, and God will either one of two things is gonna happen.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:47.199
He's either gonna get you out of it and save you, or he's gonna have to change them.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:52.720
You know, but he never leaves us, he delivers us.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.040
I mean, it's it's interesting too when you look at this sentence because it's it's very long.
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.519
It's a lot of commas here, okay?
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.439
To deliver you, okay?
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.600
That verb, deliver you.
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.959
That's the that is the sentence that tells what he's gonna do.
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:15.439
Everything else is what everybody else is doing, and it repeats to deliver you from a seducing woman.
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:16.800
So it just repeats itself.
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:25.439
He's gonna deliver you from evil, deliver you from perverse things, deliver you from those who leave the straight path, deliver you for those who walk in ways of darkness.
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:26.480
You know.
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.160
That's what he does.
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.759
He is a deliverer.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:44.319
Yes, and I think I mean going probably to something you said earlier is you go through you maybe you've made the wrong choice.
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:45.040
Right.
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:58.959
Even as a believer, even as a believer, you've made a stupid decision, and so you ask for forgiveness, which is a step in the process, absolutely, and then repentance, which means you turn around and you don't go do the thing again.
00:07:59.120 --> 00:07:59.680
Yes, exactly.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:07:59.920
Right.
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.600
Teshuva literally means 180 degrees.
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:10.319
So, like if you look at a line, you know, you if you were lying, if you were a liar, what's the opposite of lying?
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.240
Telling the truth, don't lie anymore.
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:22.560
It's it seems, and I've I've experienced this unfortunately with my very troubled stepchildren, that they did these things and I said, We need to stop doing them.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.319
Oh, I don't know how.
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.279
Okay, to me, this is very simple.
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.120
If if if I shot you with a gun, what's the opposite?
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.159
Don't shoot people.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:33.679
Don't shoot people, right?
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.080
Just don't do that thing.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.679
Um, if you've been a blasphemer, just stop blaspheming.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.919
You know, there are some things that I think are hard.
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:54.240
Um but there are some things that just and one step at a time, obviously.
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:59.200
If you've got a lot of, if it if you if you're a heavy sinner, you've got a lot of problems.
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.600
And God is a good, good father.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.440
He will show you one thing at a time.
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.879
Thankfully, he doesn't show us everything.
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.600
We don't get wise, we don't get fire hose, thankfully.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.320
I mean, there's usually it's just it's like um the the spiritual equivalent of like an AA meeting.
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.840
One step at a time.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:27.039
You you you have a problem, you work through it, and then okay, let's let's go to the next thing because the next thing will be revealed that you may not have even have noticed that came from what you were doing.
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:34.879
Um but that I I always that's one of the very first lessons we learned when we began to walk this walk was teshuva.
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.240
Teshuva means to literally go 180 degrees.
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.639
You repent and then you just stop.
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.159
You just stop doing it.
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.600
Now, are we perfect?
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.440
No, but we still have to walk sometimes through the consequences.
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:47.919
Yeah.
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.559
And just know that just because you said I'm sorry doesn't mean God's gonna be like, okay, I'm not gonna give you any consequences.
00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:03.039
I mean, as a teacher, I remember that from kids in school that um, okay, kid decides, I'm gonna tell the truth that I stole something, right?
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.679
Yeah, I took the piece of candy and I ate it.
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:27.679
And um, you know, you you you try very hard not to be angry with the child, you do all the nice things that they the hot button topics these days, which is a whole other thing that I have, but either way, um, and the kid, especially young children, uh, expect that when they told the truth, that you're you're just everything's fine.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.519
Oh, good, because you told the truth, and my mother even did this to me a few times.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.759
Well,
because you told the truth, you won't get in trouble now.
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:45.600
And I just have a problem with that though, because yes, and sometimes I think that's that's grace and mercy, and sometimes we have to enact that, but there is consequences.
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:53.120
Um, if you lie about certain things, some serious legal things could happen to you.
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.679
Oh, yes.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:11:01.919
And you think that a judge or a lawyer, you just said, hey, I'm really sorry, that this is the law, this is how it's supposed to be.
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:09.759
If you um, you know, steal something, and as adults, it's no longer like a piece of candy at this point.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.519
We're stealing big things.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:12.720
Big things.
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.039
Um, and you just go, hey, look, I'm sorry.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.000
They're not gonna want their stuff back or the money that you took.
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.000
I mean, consequences are healthy, it shapes us.
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:23.759
And and Adodino's this.
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:39.440
I mean, we look at, I mean, this could be a whole other podcast talking about consequences and how it shaped those people, Adam and Eve, that led them to do what they did with their children and Cain and Abel, which led to a whole other group of people over.
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.320
You know, consequences are healthy.
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.799
We're supposed to have them because they shape us.
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.000
But just know that if you're walking through the consequences, it's because you did something wrong.
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:55.759
You have begun on that straight path, you're back on the path, but you still have to walk.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.679
It's not God's gonna erase the consequences.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.399
Yeah, absolutely.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:08.240
I mean, take your I always say, take your licks, fix your face, yeah, fix your face, and and just say, Okay, alright, I I got you.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.639
I know why this is happening, and I'm I'm feeling I'm feeling you, Lord.
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.919
Um, and you and you just go from there and you say, Okay.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.159
And I go, what are you gonna do when the next time you have a consequence?
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.799
Because sorry to tell you this kid, you're gonna get another one.
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:36.000
I mean, you're five.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.279
All right, you've got an entire lifetime of consequences.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:53.519
Um, then you've got the kid that I mean, I remember these students that I just used to just praise and glow about because you gave them their consequence and they go, okay, I guess I deserved it because I did this.
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:54.399
Alright.
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.679
I won't do it again.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.919
And I mean, kids
say these things, but then they also just they just move on.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.840
They just, they just they take their licks and they go, alright, you're right, I did this, and they move on.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.159
I think I think we just have to get there.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.320
We just have to be okay with I made a mistake, and okay, I'm gonna do better next time.
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.960
Yeah, we don't have to torture ourselves about it, you know.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:24.080
It's it we feel bad, we we reflect, and do I have perfect days where I just think I'm just so wonderful, and I never do anything wrong.
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:34.240
No, there are times when I have that what I consider an existential crisis of I've done so many bad things and I've not always lived my life right.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:47.519
And um, one of my reasons for this walk was I felt like I I owed it to the Lord to honor his midsfolk because I have done so many bad things.
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.080
That does that does that offer me a greater place in heaven than you?
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:59.200
No, no, but I want to because I love him so much and appreciate everything he gave me.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:05.120
That I want to do, I want to be front row seat, teacher's pet to the Lord.
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:22.879
Right because I want to do the just the most perfect of perfectest for him because he is our ultimate teacher, and and and and I think that maturity, even as a young child, you can have it of saying, okay, I messed up, I'm gonna take Malik's, I'm gonna move on.
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:28.000
And and you're gonna have days where you reflect on those things, but but but let's let's move forward.
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.639
Teshuva says 180 degrees, but you don't stay there.
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.960
You go walking in the other direction.
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:40.639
If you think of uh for our math people out there, lines, okay, rays.
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.480
Uh lines go on forever, okay.
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:54.399
Uh it's the one with the two pointy ends for for real math people on a linear plane, and line goes on forever and it never stops.
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.679
Um, when you're going through this repentance and test you have a process, you turn, you're a liar, okay?
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.600
That line will take you forever.
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.840
You will keep lying and lying and lying and lying, and you think, oh, well, one day I'll just stop, I'll level up.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.559
It doesn't.
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:15.600
You have to make the conscious decision to turn around and go the other way and repent for it.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:17.840
But then that line goes on forever.
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.799
If you keep walking in that direction, you'll keep doing it and keep doing it.
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.279
Does that mean you don't falter and go back the other way?
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:36.240
But look, if you're at point A in the middle of that line, and point B, again, for my my wonderful math people out there, is like negative 12.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.679
And you go to negative six, oh, I backtracked.
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.399
Hey, but you're still on the other side of that that zero, so just keep going.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.360
You know, it's okay, it's gonna be alright.
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.679
Well, thank you so much, Holly.
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.480
This has been um a very full conversation for sure.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:01.519
And um, so the last question I ask is, how do you like your coffee?
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.799
Oh, um, even though we're drinking tea today.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.399
Yes, we are drinking tea today.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.200
I I had two cups this morning, and I thought, I'll just bring her a nice herbal cup of tea.
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:16.879
It's called Heart's Ease, uh, cardioprotective, helps with uh spasms and stuff.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:29.440
And um, I do like my coffee, like I always say, like I like my husband, my men, really white and really sweet because I like a lot of a lot of cream in it.
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.480
Um, I can live without sugar in my coffee.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.080
I learned this on a cruise.
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:39.039
I like um, you know, real cream, not milk, because that waters it down.
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.919
Um I don't mind if it's foamed milk, but I get a little fussy with it.
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:49.120
But I can live without it being sugary, and I was really shocked by that because I do like my flavored creamers.
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.600
I guess I'm bougie flavored creamers, strawberry, chop-colored chocolates and all this weird stuff.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.399
Oh, yeah.
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.480
But that's how I like my coffee and a nice big old honking cup of it.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.039
But can't get cold because then we gotta microwave it.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.039
Well, thank you so much, Holly.
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.319
It's been an absolute pleasure, and I hope you'll come back again one day.
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:20.799
This is uh it is my honor and a privilege to be here that you would even ask me that uh some little little old me gets to talk about scripture when I'm just the normal Jacomo.
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.680
That's a wrap for today on Coffee with Kaylee Marie.
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.240
Hollywoods, thank you for such a meaningful conversation.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.440
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this discussion.
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.599
Don't forget to leave a comment.
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.559
Thanks for listening to Coffee with Kaylee Marie.
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.720
Until next time, shall I?
