00:00:00.002 --> 00:00:04.349
Hi everybody. Welcome back
to the podcast Mahanaim.
00:00:04.885 --> 00:00:10.650
This is the 10th episode of this
year and we have two more
00:00:11.149 --> 00:00:16.152
months to go, two more episodes
to go. And I'm just like amazed.
00:00:16.211 --> 00:00:20.921
I was just reflecting and I was
like, how, how are we here now?
00:00:21.907 --> 00:00:24.000
God's grace has just been so sufficient.
00:00:24.126 --> 00:00:27.284
And to everybody that has been
watching us from the very beginning to
00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:32.781
now, we so much appreciate you.
Thank you for always turning in.
00:00:33.214 --> 00:00:38.307
Thank you for sharing. Thank
you for liking. I'm so grateful.
00:00:38.631 --> 00:00:43.063
If this is your first time finding
this channel, this is the Lord's
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.214
camp. This is Mahanam,
Mahanam, the Lord's camp.
00:00:47.489 --> 00:00:51.673
And it is a safe place for every
Christian trying to start their journey.
00:00:51.715 --> 00:00:52.715
with God.
00:00:52.933 --> 00:00:56.660
Or if you've been, if you've been with
God even for a while and you're just
00:00:56.660 --> 00:00:59.417
trying to still find your food,
you know, something like that.
00:00:59.533 --> 00:01:04.440
This is a place that we can both learn
together. We can both grow together.
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:06.231
And it has been amazing.
00:01:06.284 --> 00:01:10.751
I would tell you to go back and watch
from the very first one to this very
00:01:10.824 --> 00:01:15.066
time, because some of them have
kind of built up on one another, but
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.320
recently we have been like single topics
that I've not really been building
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:19.320
up on each other.
00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:23.247
So yeah, I'm sure you're going
to learn a lot from today.
00:01:23.705 --> 00:01:27.257
And by myself, again, today, which
I think is going to be interesting,
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.533
right? We're going to talk and share
our opinions about something.
00:01:32.078 --> 00:01:35.681
And if you have a question,
if there's something that you are thinking
00:01:35.721 --> 00:01:38.516
about, you can always put
it in the comment section.
00:01:38.529 --> 00:01:42.355
We can go through that and answer
some of your questions for sure.
00:01:43.333 --> 00:01:45.611
So yeah, let's get right into it.
00:01:45.813 --> 00:01:49.482
Our topic for today is, do I call it love?
00:01:51.202 --> 00:01:55.197
I know there was no way we are going
to talk about everything, relating
00:01:55.197 --> 00:02:00.494
to your start with God and sometimes
sometimes we try teenagers,
00:02:00.556 --> 00:02:05.704
right? We try and shift it to the
teenagers, which is not my fault.
00:02:05.843 --> 00:02:07.518
I don't intentionally do that.
00:02:07.566 --> 00:02:09.926
Sometimes it just goes over
there and I can't just,
00:02:13.718 --> 00:02:14.718
sometimes, right?
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.758
We try to, sometimes if the focus is,
the focus goes to a teenage girl
00:02:19.855 --> 00:02:21.076
sometimes, right?
00:02:21.146 --> 00:02:24.461
So that's why I just feel like there's
no way we're going to go through
00:02:24.513 --> 00:02:29.029
all this journey with God and not
talk about something that most teenage
00:02:29.093 --> 00:02:33.665
girls really want to talk about,
which is love, crush, like all this of
00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:36.299
things. I might not be a very good expert.
00:02:36.655 --> 00:02:39.841
I might not be the best person to answer
some of your questions, but you
00:02:39.886 --> 00:02:41.537
Know what? The Holy Spirit got you.
00:02:41.928 --> 00:02:45.361
He's going to give you utterances as
I try to answer some of those questions
00:02:45.716 --> 00:02:49.070
and some of the things that I believe
I was supposed to learn or maybe
00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:52.317
some of the things that I wish
I knew when I was a teenage girl.
00:02:52.371 --> 00:02:55.919
Maybe some things will have
turned out differently.
00:02:56.844 --> 00:03:00.056
But yeah, I'm going to share my
story and a little bit of it. story.
00:03:00.108 --> 00:03:03.790
I really do not want to share my story
and make it the subject matter at
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:08.016
all. But you know, I was
a teenager. I was a teenager.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.715
So I'm going to pick some of the things
that I feel like, you know, I wish
00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:12.020
I learned or something like that.
00:03:12.060 --> 00:03:17.790
So we're going to talk about the topic
love, but the topic is, do I call it
00:03:17.905 --> 00:03:21.917
love? What you are feeling,
would you call it love?
00:03:22.918 --> 00:03:25.575
So yeah, you know, it's very
interesting and I'm going to share a
00:03:25.575 --> 00:03:25.625
little bit of my story. So I'm going
to share a little bit of my story.
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:25.670
So I'm going to share
a little bit of my story.
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:25.812
So I'm going to share
a little bit of my story.
00:03:25.812 --> 00:03:29.860
And we have different definitions for
so many things when it comes to this
00:03:30.074 --> 00:03:31.074
particular thing.
00:03:31.138 --> 00:03:36.387
We have like, we have crush,
we have infatuation or what is that one
00:03:36.422 --> 00:03:40.747
called? There's just so many things
that is relating to the word love.
00:03:41.331 --> 00:03:44.024
And sometimes maybe when I was growing
up, even though there were things
00:03:44.161 --> 00:03:48.169
like that, like crush, like all those
type of things, I just felt like the
00:03:48.169 --> 00:03:50.998
easy one to go through was
either crush, like or love.
00:03:51.631 --> 00:03:55.923
And I've always known that love
was a very big word to say.
00:03:56.038 --> 00:03:57.556
I knew that it was a very...
00:03:58.258 --> 00:04:03.232
big thing to say so if I said it
to somebody or if I am saying it to
00:04:03.264 --> 00:04:09.069
Someone said it meant I had
to understand the weight of the love
00:04:09.585 --> 00:04:12.816
even then when I was younger and I had
like maybe a crush on somebody or
00:04:13.886 --> 00:04:17.562
What does that mean? I cannot say
I would not tell the person I love.
00:04:17.584 --> 00:04:20.857
I thought you should know because I just
felt it was a big word and it makes
00:04:20.881 --> 00:04:21.137
sense.
00:04:21.137 --> 00:04:24.678
That the guy was the one who's going
to say it first to me because I just
00:04:24.719 --> 00:04:29.221
knew that there was a weight that came
with that word but I didn't know what
00:04:29.221 --> 00:04:33.951
it was I don't know I really didn't
know what love was um like that you
00:04:33.989 --> 00:04:37.325
know I mean I knew that oh it's a big
thing but just like I love you know
00:04:38.041 --> 00:04:41.432
we're going to kind of talk about it
to see if what you're feeling if you're
00:04:41.444 --> 00:04:45.301
gonna call them love um crush I don't
know I don't have like a bible like
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.333
a dictionary definition of what crush
is but i just feel like it's just
00:04:49.396 --> 00:04:54.054
you being you just see somebody and
you like some part of them you like
00:04:54.193 --> 00:04:57.515
something about them there's something
that they do i don't want to use
00:04:57.559 --> 00:05:00.855
like again because it's something
that they do interests you you're
00:05:01.272 --> 00:05:04.621
intrigued about it it may be that
they are very smart i'm somebody that
00:05:04.775 --> 00:05:07.150
likes people that are smart if you're
smart You're definitely going to be
00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:11.138
my friend I love people that think
in a certain way so every of my
00:05:11.197 --> 00:05:14.714
friend are smart people anybody that
I have liked or had a crush on they
00:05:14.738 --> 00:05:19.215
are definitely smart people I love
people that think well so that could
00:05:19.235 --> 00:05:22.684
be a crush so you'd like the way this
person thinks you just really like
00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:28.018
the way they think you have a crush
on them you like the way they dress
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.841
that makes you happy and like oh I like
the way they hang on this coat I'm
00:05:31.934 --> 00:05:34.851
just trying to take some little
little things about what I would like
00:05:35.115 --> 00:05:38.167
somebody you know I like people that
dress up and they dress really nice
00:05:38.227 --> 00:05:41.968
people that take time to hang on their
clothes guys I love it like those
00:05:41.998 --> 00:05:46.732
are the things that you can take me
people that smell very good and all
00:05:46.757 --> 00:05:50.283
those things could be a reason and you
see those characters in somebody
00:05:50.831 --> 00:05:55.570
you can like them because they
have those characters You like them
00:05:55.612 --> 00:05:57.165
because of what they have.
00:05:57.252 --> 00:06:00.016
You like them because of what
you have seen that interests you.
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.360
Maybe this is the way they talk.
Maybe they talk very soft.
00:06:03.708 --> 00:06:06.538
Maybe they talk very loud.
Maybe they are very bold.
00:06:06.896 --> 00:06:08.156
Maybe they are very quiet.
00:06:08.329 --> 00:06:11.241
You know, there are some things that
you would see inside of them that
00:06:11.251 --> 00:06:13.700
just makes you like their personality.
00:06:14.257 --> 00:06:16.873
They do something and you're like,
oh my gosh, I like this person.
00:06:17.537 --> 00:06:23.063
And, but when you start to,
based off what you feel on those
00:06:23.945 --> 00:06:28.170
items that you like inside of them,
that's when those feelings start to
00:06:28.355 --> 00:06:29.107
brood.
00:06:29.107 --> 00:06:32.267
Because now I can see somebody
that is very smart and I don't have
00:06:32.349 --> 00:06:34.304
anything that I'm going to go
and think about at home.
00:06:34.693 --> 00:06:37.032
You know, like, oh, this person is
very smart. Oh, wow, I like you.
00:06:37.032 --> 00:06:40.252
You're very smart, right?
And that's the end of it.
00:06:40.285 --> 00:06:43.413
But when you like that they're smart
and then I go home and then I start
00:06:43.462 --> 00:06:45.620
thinking about, oh,
that boy is very smart.
00:06:46.570 --> 00:06:49.160
See the way he answered
that question. Oh my God.
00:06:49.707 --> 00:06:50.858
The way he opened the Bible.
00:06:51.159 --> 00:06:54.798
The way, you know, I start to dwell
on that and then it starts to grow.
00:06:54.874 --> 00:06:57.816
The next day I wake up and then maybe
he texts me or something and I'm
00:06:57.847 --> 00:06:58.991
like, oh, okay, this boy.
00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:02.978
And that's how, that's
essentially how feelings start.
00:07:03.396 --> 00:07:07.570
So if you take something that you like
in somebody and you brood on it for a
00:07:07.906 --> 00:07:13.099
long period of time, they start to enter
inside your heart and they start
00:07:13.116 --> 00:07:16.212
to find the way. So they start
to do things that interest you.
00:07:16.548 --> 00:07:20.490
And I start to think
and deliberate about it.
00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.138
I keep deliberating about it.
00:07:22.466 --> 00:07:25.291
And that's when it becomes something
bigger that you now start having
00:07:25.580 --> 00:07:26.580
feelings for somebody.
00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:29.551
So you can like somebody and not
have feelings for somebody.
00:07:29.818 --> 00:07:30.844
I like a lot of people.
00:07:31.644 --> 00:07:34.271
Genuinely because the way they think,
because maybe the way they dress,
00:07:34.285 --> 00:07:35.363
maybe because the way they smell.
00:07:35.654 --> 00:07:37.695
I just like all those type of things,
but it doesn't mean that I have
00:07:37.733 --> 00:07:42.798
feelings for them because I've never
brooded upon those things that they
00:07:42.852 --> 00:07:43.452
Do.
00:07:43.452 --> 00:07:46.940
So one way that you would know is that
you see something that you like in
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:46.990
Mahanaim.
00:07:46.978 --> 00:07:51.277
they and then you sit down and think
and think and think about It, it
00:07:51.277 --> 00:07:55.040
becomes crush, it becomes feelings.
00:07:55.518 --> 00:08:00.722
Then it becomes a feeling that you like.
00:08:01.584 --> 00:08:05.905
So when it becomes love, I would say
the definition of love, I found this
00:08:05.938 --> 00:08:09.760
in the book of 1 Corinthians
chapter 13, verses 4 to 8.
00:08:10.276 --> 00:08:12.063
I'm going to be reading it to you.
00:08:12.063 --> 00:08:16.642
And as I read it, pick all those
attributes of love and see if what you are
00:08:16.704 --> 00:08:22.609
Feeling is love. It says,
love suffers long and is kind.
00:08:23.710 --> 00:08:28.892
Love does not envy. Love does not
parade itself. It's not puffed up.
00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:35.046
Love does not behave rudely.
Love is not provoked.
00:08:35.511 --> 00:08:36.685
It thinks no evil.
00:08:37.074 --> 00:08:41.043
Love does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth.
00:08:41.719 --> 00:08:43.196
Love bears all things.
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.460
It believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things, and endures
00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:46.580
all things. Love does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:49.180
Love bears all things. Love never fails.
00:08:49.325 --> 00:08:52.894
But whenever, whether they are
prophecies, they will fail.
00:08:53.232 --> 00:08:55.598
Whether they are thongs,
they will cause, they will cease.
00:08:56.024 --> 00:08:58.521
Whether there is knowledge,
it will vanish away.
00:08:58.965 --> 00:09:02.402
So love is a bigger thing.
Love is selfless.
00:09:02.502 --> 00:09:07.989
Love is that if you love this person,
you are adding another person to
00:09:08.143 --> 00:09:09.987
your life.
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.868
If you love somebody, you are saying that
00:09:16.576 --> 00:09:17.576
You love me.
00:09:18.397 --> 00:09:23.355
Love endures means that if this
person should annoy you today, you are
00:09:23.748 --> 00:09:26.549
willing to forgive them
and still hold on to them.
00:09:26.663 --> 00:09:30.182
And your love for them does not reduce.
So they don't annoy you today.
00:09:30.280 --> 00:09:33.009
And you're like, oh,
oh, you annoy me today.
00:09:33.034 --> 00:09:35.263
I like you 10 over 10 before today.
I'm going to change it to 8.
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.245
I can't just deal. That is
not love. Love is constant.
00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:45.659
And it's the same over a long period
of time, regardless of how that
00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:45.709
person has changed.
00:09:45.694 --> 00:09:49.224
What that person's does, regardless
of how that person has changed.
00:09:49.224 --> 00:09:51.055
Love is the same.
00:09:51.921 --> 00:09:55.712
Another way you will know if your
feelings are genuine is that if..." those
00:09:56.030 --> 00:09:59.620
characters that that person had
that made you like them, if those
00:09:59.870 --> 00:10:03.580
characters were taken away from them,
would you still like that person?
00:10:04.571 --> 00:10:06.387
That's one of the ways that
you're going to know if it's love.
00:10:06.605 --> 00:10:11.406
Because love is consistent.
Love is constant. Love endures.
00:10:11.733 --> 00:10:16.637
Love loves. So love is
amazing. Love is beautiful.
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.037
Love is something that
you want to experience.
00:10:19.469 --> 00:10:24.894
But you have to experience it as
somebody that already knows themselves.
00:10:25.665 --> 00:10:28.932
Because like I said, when you love
somebody, you are adding that person
00:10:28.932 --> 00:10:29.932
to your life.
00:10:30.215 --> 00:10:34.263
When you love somebody, whenever you
are praying, you have to include them
00:10:34.290 --> 00:10:37.450
in your prayers. You have
to work with that person.
00:10:37.636 --> 00:10:39.690
You have to build with that person.
00:10:39.711 --> 00:10:42.715
You are genuinely doing
everything with that person.
00:10:43.255 --> 00:10:47.432
So it means that you have to have
been able to discover your own self.
00:10:48.494 --> 00:10:52.490
Because if you want to love somebody,
you have to love somebody that
00:10:52.878 --> 00:10:57.724
has the same knowledge like you.
Because like I said, it's consistent.
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:58.936
It's constant for life.
00:10:59.325 --> 00:11:03.013
A person that doesn't have the same
belief like you do, there will be a
00:11:03.056 --> 00:11:05.325
lot of times that they will
hurt you. They will annoy you.
00:11:05.424 --> 00:11:09.249
There's a place in this that
says love endures all things.
00:11:09.654 --> 00:11:13.091
If the person has a different belief
and they do different things, you
00:11:13.136 --> 00:11:16.903
cannot endure those things because
it will irritate you over and over
00:11:16.968 --> 00:11:19.828
again. Like, oh, this person,
you're a Christian.
00:11:19.828 --> 00:11:22.230
And this person is, I don't know,
maybe this person doesn't even have a
00:11:22.252 --> 00:11:23.252
religion at all.
00:11:24.404 --> 00:11:26.330
When you say, let's go to church,
the person's like, what do you mean?
00:11:26.390 --> 00:11:28.430
Let's go. What's church?
Like, what does church mean?
00:11:28.828 --> 00:11:31.824
it would annoy you but if you love
that person you have to endure that
00:11:32.152 --> 00:11:35.027
so it's not nice for you to endure
something that you cannot
00:11:35.478 --> 00:11:39.032
consistently hold on for life because
in those type of situation one
00:11:39.070 --> 00:11:42.326
person is going to give way for the
other person so it's either you that
00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:46.801
love christ start following the person
that doesn't have a religion or you
00:11:46.847 --> 00:11:50.393
that don't have or you that have
a religion draw that person into your own
00:11:50.425 --> 00:11:53.413
place that have a religion right
that's actually what is going to happen
00:11:53.413 --> 00:11:56.290
one person will have to give way
to the other because you have to endure
00:11:56.486 --> 00:12:01.432
all things you guys can't even both
be christians and you both love god
00:12:01.452 --> 00:12:04.716
genuinely but like you know we talked
about purpose and you found your
00:12:04.806 --> 00:12:08.034
purpose you're working alongside
your purpose so you want to become a
00:12:08.069 --> 00:12:11.175
pastor you have a church that you
got a space in your heart and you're
00:12:11.217 --> 00:12:15.111
pastoring that church and it's going
well and i want to say mission if my
00:12:15.173 --> 00:12:18.360
other person is a missionary person
and person wants to travel all over
00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:22.797
the nation they can be a construct
or they can be a way that it
00:12:22.846 --> 00:12:27.822
will like bounce off on each other
weirdly you're that kind of thing
00:12:27.862 --> 00:12:30.100
and it's going to be convenient because
god has told you that you you are
00:12:30.140 --> 00:12:33.143
staying in this church that's what
i want you to do especially god is
00:12:33.167 --> 00:12:36.021
telling that person that you're going
all over you're using three months
00:12:36.134 --> 00:12:40.526
everywhere you go it's going to clash
each other it's going to clash it's
00:12:40.575 --> 00:12:43.804
going to clash and it's just you
can't just endure that forever but if
00:12:43.873 --> 00:12:46.695
you're saying that you love that person
you have to understand endure that
00:12:46.770 --> 00:12:49.639
and it's going to be very hard for
you to what I get what do you get what
00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:52.446
I'm saying so you have to have
somebody that the person that You are
00:12:52.463 --> 00:12:55.627
loving has to be somebody that you
guys have the same purpose together
00:12:56.991 --> 00:13:00.785
running this race together so even
if you have to endure maybe you are
00:13:00.814 --> 00:13:03.561
in a church that person is also a pastor
in that church for The example you
00:13:03.561 --> 00:13:07.009
gave is:"example you're both pastoring
in that church and then god says
00:13:07.102 --> 00:13:10.719
oh or maybe" Challenges come up in
the church you're holding each other
00:13:10.781 --> 00:13:13.949
together The person started acting
in a strange way; we are still
00:13:13.989 --> 00:13:14.287
together.
00:13:14.287 --> 00:13:17.521
because we're in the same place
together you're growing together If that
00:13:17.521 --> 00:13:22.106
kind of makes sense So the word love
is a very huge word to mention, and
00:13:22.140 --> 00:13:24.793
it has to be somebody. That you
yourself have found yourself.
00:13:24.896 --> 00:13:28.327
You have to be able to have found your
own purpose in life so that you can
00:13:28.362 --> 00:13:33.196
be able to look for the person
that has that same purpose and
00:13:34.425 --> 00:13:36.276
won the race with that person.
00:13:37.116 --> 00:13:42.523
Something I discovered about love was
that one thing, before God allowed me
00:13:42.563 --> 00:13:45.478
to open my heart to somebody
that I genuinely love.
00:13:46.545 --> 00:13:49.839
God made me understand what his love was.
00:13:50.381 --> 00:13:56.233
So if you do not understand what the
love of God is in your life, you would
00:13:56.970 --> 00:14:01.413
be attached to the wrong, if you
have a wrong definition of love.
00:14:02.057 --> 00:14:05.720
If somebody comes and tell you that
they love them, whatever they bring
00:14:05.802 --> 00:14:09.528
to you is what you might accept because
you yourself, you don't know what
00:14:09.582 --> 00:14:10.582
love is.
00:14:10.761 --> 00:14:15.439
God taught me that before I could
love somebody or accept to be loved by
00:14:15.439 --> 00:14:19.718
somebody, I have had to understand
what his own love is.
00:14:20.647 --> 00:14:25.044
So God taught me his love for
like a long period of time.
00:14:25.458 --> 00:14:31.075
I was just in awe of how much
I was loved by my father in heaven.
00:14:31.473 --> 00:14:33.846
I can't just explain
that season of my life.
00:14:34.361 --> 00:14:40.265
God just really explained his love
to me in a way that I was baffled.
00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:44.128
I just, I'm like, wow. Oh, wow.
00:14:44.528 --> 00:14:49.156
So I've discovered that before you
can understand or allow somebody to
00:14:49.156 --> 00:14:53.388
love you, you have to have experienced
the love that God has for you.
00:14:53.738 --> 00:14:58.312
Because the love that God has for you
has to be the same with the love that
00:14:58.485 --> 00:15:01.094
this person is going to have for you.
00:15:01.665 --> 00:15:03.442
Or you are going to love that person as.
00:15:03.743 --> 00:15:07.977
Same as you too, because as God was
teaching me how he wanted me to be
00:15:08.016 --> 00:15:10.704
loved, he was also teaching
me how I should love.
00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:12.521
The person that I would love.
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.000
You know you know what i mean so if
you don't have a relationship with god
00:15:17.245 --> 00:15:20.692
Or if you don't have that love standard
with god it might be hard for you
00:15:20.742 --> 00:15:24.022
To find out what love is and that's
why some people just get into the
00:15:24.118 --> 00:15:28.485
wrong relationship because they haven't
found out how much they are loved
00:15:28.517 --> 00:15:32.495
By god i've found out how much i'm
loved by god that if somebody comes
00:15:32.527 --> 00:15:35.382
Randomly and come and start saying
things that are sweet to the ear
00:15:35.723 --> 00:15:38.851
You can't win me like that there's
a certain thing that you have to
00:15:39.228 --> 00:15:43.681
You have to do that make me feel like
okay this person is kind of kicking
00:15:43.890 --> 00:15:48.370
Some you know there's you know there's
kind of yeah him out or yeah yeah
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.657
he said he was sure you understood
what I mean so i feel that was
00:15:52.702 --> 00:15:57.367
something that i and I really learned
from the start of this year that
00:15:57.391 --> 00:16:01.986
for you to love somebody or accept
love from someone there has to be a
00:16:01.998 --> 00:16:06.083
knowledge of God that you know you
have to understand how much God loves
00:16:06.116 --> 00:16:10.156
you imagine one example just a little
bit again and I'm going to give you
00:16:10.550 --> 00:16:15.098
that which will stick with you before
you want to choose or before you
00:16:15.168 --> 00:16:18.403
love somebody that you want to love
is the way god loves us he loves us
00:16:18.428 --> 00:16:22.610
to the extent that he said these people
are sinners these people are going
00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:25.738
to die if they continue in this sin
do you know what i'm going to do i
00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:30.608
will give them my own son
and i will give them my son
00:16:31.925 --> 00:16:37.318
and let that my son know he will die
for them and when that son dies for
00:16:37.378 --> 00:16:42.301
them he will wash away all their sins and
00:16:43.465 --> 00:16:47.693
so these people can so these people
can make everyone can you imagine
00:16:47.730 --> 00:16:51.884
that so a random dude or girl cannot
just come to your life and she's
00:16:51.913 --> 00:16:57.557
not willing or he is not willing
to express that amount of love to you
00:16:57.901 --> 00:17:02.456
or you you're not willing to express
that amount of love to somebody so
00:17:02.484 --> 00:17:07.027
that makes me understand that love
it's very is a taxi business is a
00:17:07.027 --> 00:17:12.582
very is a lot of work it's not just
a oh i like his shoes or just buy him
00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:16.920
shoes tomorrow let me buy her perfume
and she likes to be let me just
00:17:16.943 --> 00:17:21.621
tell her good night it's more than
that it's something very critical and
00:17:21.649 --> 00:17:25.533
that's why i would not advise younger
people to be in a relationship
00:17:25.733 --> 00:17:29.525
because it's a lot of work and in
that stage of your life you're still
00:17:29.858 --> 00:17:33.961
trying to find yourself you're still
trying to do your assignment you're
00:17:34.022 --> 00:17:37.642
still trying to do your project things
are running in your brain you're
00:17:37.725 --> 00:17:40.762
Still you know there's a lot going
on at that moment of your life so
00:17:40.996 --> 00:17:45.638
Adding love to it makes
it ten times a work to do
00:17:46.698 --> 00:17:49.241
because as much as you're doing all
those things for yourself you still
00:17:49.281 --> 00:17:52.403
have to be able to support that person
that you're loving with all that
00:17:52.424 --> 00:17:55.856
because god will always support you
do you know what i mean and i already
00:17:55.887 --> 00:18:00.386
said like three points in that
one point and the emphasis is that
00:18:01.895 --> 00:18:07.800
if you are planning to go into
a relationship or if you are planning
00:18:08.003 --> 00:18:13.950
to accept somebody's proposal
to you i think and you
00:18:13.989 --> 00:18:19.155
have not understood how much god
loves you i think you should pause
00:18:19.717 --> 00:18:24.761
study your scripture speak to god
about it let him teach you his
00:18:24.840 --> 00:18:29.727
definition of love let
him guide you on how
00:18:31.067 --> 00:18:34.499
you should be loved because like
i said as much as he's teaching you You
00:18:34.532 --> 00:18:35.361
should be loved, he's also teaching
you how you should be loved love
00:18:35.361 --> 00:18:38.540
He's also teaching you how you should
love somebody because you can you
00:18:38.571 --> 00:18:42.268
can be in a relationship and be enjoying
it even if you're a girl like you
00:18:42.307 --> 00:18:47.745
shouldn't be a girl just a girl i just
have to be spoiled you know yeah yeah
00:18:47.768 --> 00:18:50.820
You need to be spoiled but then again
you have to be able to love those
00:18:50.929 --> 00:18:54.115
People exactly the way god wants them
to be loved because they are also
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.102
human and the same way god has shown
you how you are loved is the way god
00:18:58.126 --> 00:19:02.792
has shown them how they are loved so
they are going to express what they
00:19:02.792 --> 00:19:04.680
have experienced from the Love of God
and they are going to express what
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.390
they have love of God towards you.
00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:10.167
And you will see that and that's why
you are able to accept them and say,
00:19:10.167 --> 00:19:13.545
okay, yes, it's similar to the
way I'm being loved by God.
00:19:13.570 --> 00:19:15.989
Therefore, let me continue
my journey with this person.
00:19:16.310 --> 00:19:18.071
You know what I mean?
And then accept their love.
00:19:18.126 --> 00:19:22.296
So you yourself have to continue the
love that they have experienced with
00:19:22.347 --> 00:19:27.760
God and be the human form
of that love that they have
00:19:28.018 --> 00:19:29.018
experienced with God.
00:19:31.512 --> 00:19:34.574
So, love is just very amazing.
00:19:34.731 --> 00:19:38.389
I don't even know what to even continue
to say at this point, you know?
00:19:38.502 --> 00:19:44.286
Like, it's beautiful. I tell
you, I'm a big fan of love.
00:19:44.422 --> 00:19:49.734
I love people getting to each other
and, like, experiencing how much God
00:19:49.807 --> 00:19:52.068
loves them in human form.
00:19:52.203 --> 00:19:55.561
That's the definition of what I would
just describe love as when it comes
00:19:55.597 --> 00:19:59.118
to feeling is the experience
of God in human form.
00:19:59.274 --> 00:20:03.607
God has just put his own love and just
placed it in the hand of a human
00:20:03.607 --> 00:20:07.490
being to love you that way.
And I tell you, it's very amazing.
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.730
It's beautiful. I've seen
it. It's just amazing.
00:20:12.061 --> 00:20:15.376
It's just very beautiful. And I really
want everybody to experience such.
00:20:15.837 --> 00:20:17.924
I would like for everybody
to experience such.
00:20:18.031 --> 00:20:20.828
But if you have not understood your
stance with God, if you have not
00:20:20.910 --> 00:20:24.098
understood how much you are loved by
God, there's a probability that you
00:20:24.162 --> 00:20:26.384
accept the love that you
are not supposed to accept.
00:20:26.897 --> 00:20:29.909
There's a probability that this person
that you accept, he will not love
00:20:29.931 --> 00:20:30.970
you the way Christ loved the church.
00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:33.116
And you should not accept somebody
that would not love you the way
00:20:33.176 --> 00:20:34.192
Christ loves the church.
00:20:34.615 --> 00:20:37.316
Christ loved the church that he came
and gave his son to die for him.
00:20:37.636 --> 00:20:40.688
Christ loved the church that no matter
how much we run and do all these
00:20:40.830 --> 00:20:43.945
things that we are doing, all of us
will not talk to God for, some of us
00:20:43.987 --> 00:20:46.578
will not talk to God for so many weeks
and we'll just come one day and say,
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.430
God, I want to pass my exam,
help me. And he will still help us.
00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:54.123
There are so many things that we will
do in this life that you know that if
00:20:54.194 --> 00:20:56.724
you were to be God, you will say,
get out from my presence.
00:20:56.782 --> 00:20:58.571
But you know what?
His hands are still over.
00:20:58.963 --> 00:21:02.419
And he's still stretching his hand
towards to us and accepting us into
00:21:02.450 --> 00:21:04.395
his kingdom. That's how much love is.
00:21:04.404 --> 00:21:08.765
So if the person that you want to accept
your proposal or the person that
00:21:08.776 --> 00:21:13.354
you are giving your proposal to as a guy,
person that you are giving your
00:21:13.398 --> 00:21:16.238
proposal over to and as a girl,
the person that you are accepting your
00:21:16.238 --> 00:21:20.689
proposal from doesn't love you as
much as Christ loved the church.
00:21:22.545 --> 00:21:27.461
I don't support that.
I don't support that.
00:21:27.998 --> 00:21:32.542
And I want you to know that as a teenager,
it's very okay to like somebody,
00:21:33.144 --> 00:21:35.621
like I said, I don't think it's love.
00:21:35.797 --> 00:21:37.884
I don't think it's love because it's big.
00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:41.703
And some people, some people are very
lucky that they actually like found
00:21:41.735 --> 00:21:44.926
their love from a very young age.
I'm a big fan of that as well.
00:21:45.009 --> 00:21:47.453
I celebrate that. I love
all those type of love.
00:21:47.554 --> 00:21:50.045
It just gives me goosebumps.
I love it so much.
00:21:50.293 --> 00:21:53.265
So it's possible for you to find
the love at a very young age.
00:21:53.594 --> 00:21:54.681
It's very possible.
00:21:55.241 --> 00:21:58.648
But I will tell you not to act on that
because like I said, you people are
00:21:58.684 --> 00:22:02.853
still growing. You people haven't
found the totality of who you are yet.
00:22:03.072 --> 00:22:05.204
And there's still so many things
that will change about you.
00:22:05.586 --> 00:22:08.095
There's still so many things
that is going to move about you.
00:22:08.555 --> 00:22:12.146
And you might grow faster
than the other person.
00:22:12.166 --> 00:22:14.822
So let's assume that, oh, me and somebody,
we found each other when we were
00:22:14.843 --> 00:22:17.854
like, let's say 13. And we've
been friends since we were 13.
00:22:17.905 --> 00:22:19.873
We liked each other. We started
dating from 13 years old.
00:22:20.963 --> 00:22:23.858
I know that when it goes to a particular
stage of my life, I might have
00:22:23.890 --> 00:22:25.684
grown faster than the guy.
And the guy is like, ah.
00:22:26.179 --> 00:22:27.271
And I grow faster than the guy.
00:22:27.396 --> 00:22:32.728
And the guy is like, and I do not see
my purpose aligning with this person.
00:22:32.888 --> 00:22:34.285
anymore. And I'm like, nah,
I'm not doing this anymore.
00:22:34.711 --> 00:22:40.431
Or the guy grows faster than I do.
He grows faster than I would do.
00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:42.836
And he doesn't see that we
align the purpose again.
00:22:43.182 --> 00:22:46.689
But if we both grew differently,
let's say we met each other when we were
00:22:46.726 --> 00:22:49.549
13. And we both grew differently.
We're still friends.
00:22:49.624 --> 00:22:50.832
I'm not saying you should
run away from them.
00:22:50.885 --> 00:22:52.161
Still be friends with them, of course.
00:22:52.323 --> 00:22:53.885
Still be friends with them, of course.
00:22:54.818 --> 00:22:56.117
Talk to each other once in a while.
00:22:56.201 --> 00:23:01.866
Talk to each other every day or whatever.
Talk to them. Grow separately.
00:23:01.947 --> 00:23:05.544
Find God separately.
Or find God together. Wherever.
00:23:05.631 --> 00:23:08.387
Whichever one works for you
people. Work, grow, grow, grow.
00:23:08.685 --> 00:23:10.798
You get to a stage that
it will now make sense.
00:23:10.925 --> 00:23:12.969
That God will now bring
you guys again together.
00:23:13.356 --> 00:23:14.997
And then your relationship
will make sense.
00:23:15.053 --> 00:23:16.215
Because you guys have found purpose.
00:23:16.241 --> 00:23:20.812
And you can see how purpose looks
alike in the life of both of you.
00:23:21.152 --> 00:23:24.298
Because I genuinely just
think that for you to endure.
00:23:24.442 --> 00:23:26.396
Because love endures all things.
00:23:26.786 --> 00:23:31.127
There has to be a similarity in purpose
for you to continue to endure all
00:23:31.238 --> 00:23:34.231
things. Because it's no
longer now, it's for forever.
00:23:34.556 --> 00:23:38.040
You can't say, oh, I love them today,
next tomorrow, oh, I don't like
00:23:38.040 --> 00:23:40.573
that boy again. That's not how love works.
00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:44.987
It's consistent, it's the same,
and it's always the same forever.
00:23:45.578 --> 00:23:48.572
And it just makes sense to do it with
somebody that you guys have the same
00:23:48.639 --> 00:23:49.639
value with.
00:23:50.090 --> 00:23:56.058
Like I said, it's very okay for
you to like somebody, Someone at a
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.099
young age, and you're really genuinely
just like them, and you're like,
00:23:59.188 --> 00:24:03.001
oh, I think this is actually love,
I can sacrifice myself for this
00:24:03.101 --> 00:24:08.895
person. Well, yeah, you might
feel that, yeah, it's interesting.
00:24:08.899 --> 00:24:12.231
But you can feel that for somebody,
I would not dispute that, but I
00:24:12.281 --> 00:24:16.097
would tell you not to kind of act on
those feelings now, because there's so
00:24:16.123 --> 00:24:18.789
many things that would change about
yourself that you would not even
00:24:18.809 --> 00:24:20.627
know that would change about yourself.
00:24:20.776 --> 00:24:24.508
I had a crush on somebody when I was
way younger, and I'm so grateful that
00:24:24.541 --> 00:24:26.255
I did not act on those feelings.
00:24:27.228 --> 00:24:32.699
Because a lot changed about both of us,
like, oh my gosh, so many things
00:24:32.747 --> 00:24:37.375
changed about our life, and I thank
God that we didn't act on that when
00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:42.650
we were younger, because it just would
have scattered and destroyed, things
00:24:42.677 --> 00:24:45.642
would just be so weird
between the both of us.
00:24:46.009 --> 00:24:51.170
So it's okay to have a crush,
it's okay, it's very normal, it's like
00:24:51.218 --> 00:24:54.809
your body is feeling it, there
are just hormones that come out.
00:24:54.876 --> 00:24:59.454
And as a lady, you get attached to girls,
to guys, at a particular age,
00:24:59.454 --> 00:25:03.577
you get attached to guys, and as a guy,
there's some hormones that will let
00:25:03.598 --> 00:25:05.761
you get attached to ladies
at a particular age.
00:25:05.782 --> 00:25:08.297
So anyway, when you're a teenager,
and you start to find girls
00:25:08.567 --> 00:25:12.594
attractive, you start to find guys
attractive, as a guy, you find girls.
00:25:12.702 --> 00:25:15.257
attractive, and as a girl,
you find guys attractive.
00:25:15.956 --> 00:25:20.696
And you just want to be with them,
your feelings is all over the place,
00:25:21.163 --> 00:25:24.513
and it's so beautiful, and there's
so much butterflies in your belly,
00:25:24.602 --> 00:25:27.836
and you're like, oh my gosh,
you're going to sleep, you dream about
00:25:27.870 --> 00:25:29.580
them, and it's okay.
00:25:30.216 --> 00:25:34.614
But I'll tell you not to act on
those feelings, because when you are
00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:38.527
committing to somebody, I believe that
when you want to date somebody, there
00:25:38.555 --> 00:25:40.200
should be an end goal to it.
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.500
It's like, I'm dating you, I'm not
dating you because, let's see how it
00:25:44.504 --> 00:25:47.947
goes. I do not ever believe
in such a relationship.
00:25:48.051 --> 00:25:51.765
I believe in a relationship that
I'm dating you because I want to get
00:25:51.791 --> 00:25:52.791
Married to you.
00:25:52.953 --> 00:25:58.763
So if you like somebody,
you might have the The
00:25:58.763 --> 00:26:03.447
intention is to say I'm dating you
because let's see how it goes, because
00:26:03.474 --> 00:26:07.184
you just like them,
you can't sacrifice for them.
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:10.287
So you can't sacrifice for them,
but if you ask, you should be But somebody
00:26:10.287 --> 00:26:12.087
that you want to date
until you marry them.
00:26:12.402 --> 00:26:14.866
but someone you want to date
until you marry them.
00:26:14.905 --> 00:26:18.119
You have to have found your purpose,
because marriage is not for rice
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:18.646
and beans. and the world.
00:26:18.646 --> 00:26:21.958
It's not for you to be wearing the
same clothes and be traveling around
00:26:21.969 --> 00:26:22.702
The world.
00:26:22.702 --> 00:26:26.481
The essential, that's one of the things
I love about marriage, but they're
00:26:26.509 --> 00:26:27.904
not the priority of marriage.
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:31.534
The priority of marriage is that two
become one will chase a thousand and
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:33.822
two will chase ten thousand.
That's the priority of marriage.
00:26:33.999 --> 00:26:38.258
For you to continue doing the will
of the Lord, you have to have similar
00:26:38.285 --> 00:26:39.300
purpose sometimes.
00:26:39.641 --> 00:26:42.729
It makes sense to have similar purpose
with the person, or even if it's
00:26:42.743 --> 00:26:46.951
not the exact same thing.
They link, they have to link.
00:26:47.518 --> 00:26:53.204
They need to link. I can, it just
needs to be linked to each other.
00:26:53.884 --> 00:26:56.520
I'm not in support
of anything that doesn't link.
00:26:56.768 --> 00:27:00.584
You have to link to each other because
then you guys are able to support
00:27:00.614 --> 00:27:04.200
each other and the purpose of one
marriage actually comes to pass because
00:27:04.272 --> 00:27:06.301
then they're not chasing
their own thousand alone.
00:27:07.133 --> 00:27:09.920
Because you have joined that life
and you also have the same similar The
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:11.296
proposal is linked towards them.
00:27:11.555 --> 00:27:14.543
It becomes something that you guys
can change a thousand, chase a
00:27:14.543 --> 00:27:17.886
thousand or 10,000 together.
Same for your own purpose as well.
00:27:18.449 --> 00:27:22.941
So yeah, love is a beautiful thing.
It's amazing. I love love.
00:27:23.145 --> 00:27:28.214
I'm advocate for love every day,
every time, just because I've experienced
00:27:28.243 --> 00:27:29.662
the love that God asked for me.
00:27:29.833 --> 00:27:35.397
And it just makes sense that what God
asked for me can be given to a human
00:27:35.464 --> 00:27:35.633
being.
00:27:35.633 --> 00:27:39.518
God just said, you know what, you,
this guy, this is how much I love
00:27:39.561 --> 00:27:44.087
Juliana. Let me put it in your hands.
Love her the way I have loved her.
00:27:44.087 --> 00:27:48.387
Isn't it? Isn't that so beautiful?
And same for me too.
00:27:48.468 --> 00:27:50.190
Like, Juliana, I love this guy so much.
00:27:50.752 --> 00:27:54.271
Take this love and love him the way
that I have been loving, the way I'm
00:27:54.337 --> 00:27:56.425
loving him. I want you
to continue to love him.
00:27:56.557 --> 00:28:00.660
And even though the love of God does
not reduce at that point, or becomes
00:28:00.745 --> 00:28:03.725
farther, you still have to continue
your relationship with God
00:28:03.771 --> 00:28:07.976
because you continue to discover how
to love your partner because of the
00:28:08.004 --> 00:28:09.183
way God is loving you.
00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:13.749
The old thing that we spoke about today
was that you can like somebody and
00:28:13.785 --> 00:28:19.280
not love somebody. I believe love is
a very big word to use for somebody.
00:28:19.817 --> 00:28:22.908
So I think you can like
somebody and not love them.
00:28:24.023 --> 00:28:29.528
And you can love somebody, but if you
are young, you have to not act on it
00:28:29.669 --> 00:28:33.428
now because there's still so many
growth that will be done with you.
00:28:34.195 --> 00:28:34.954
That's one.
00:28:34.954 --> 00:28:40.742
Two, I said that for you to be able
to know who to love or who you The
00:28:40.742 --> 00:28:44.658
text should be:"Should be loved by,
you have to experience the love of
00:28:44.658 --> 00:28:47.191
God." You have to let
God sit down with you.
00:28:47.399 --> 00:28:50.989
Maybe one year, only you and God
will just sit down and just be.
00:28:51.181 --> 00:28:53.637
experiencing this love daily, daily.
00:28:53.830 --> 00:28:58.645
I understand that part of God will
be saying,'How do I love you?' And
00:28:58.698 --> 00:29:01.297
you continue to experience
it like that for a while.
00:29:01.766 --> 00:29:04.167
Then you will not know
the person that is worthy.
00:29:04.897 --> 00:29:08.900
To love you and carry
00:29:11.745 --> 00:29:13.916
some of the way God loves you in person.
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.155
You have to be able to experience
the love of God to know who to love and
00:29:18.192 --> 00:29:19.514
who to be loved by.
00:29:20.704 --> 00:29:25.181
And like I said, you still have
to continue to love the Holy Spirit even
00:29:25.251 --> 00:29:28.061
after you have found the person
that you are being loved by.
00:29:28.424 --> 00:29:32.098
Because you are able to love them
because of your connection with the Holy
00:29:32.125 --> 00:29:36.677
Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches
you how to love them even more.
00:29:37.888 --> 00:29:43.309
I said, we should also try our best
to be in relationship for the goal of
00:29:43.381 --> 00:29:44.164
getting married.
00:29:44.164 --> 00:29:48.567
Do not be in a relation, don't
start a relationship for the goal of
00:29:49.097 --> 00:29:50.097
letting's see how it goes.
00:29:50.428 --> 00:29:53.521
A person that would be in a relationship
for the goal of letting's see
00:29:53.560 --> 00:29:57.529
how it goes is somebody that doesn't
have an intention to endure it
00:29:57.768 --> 00:30:02.528
all. And that is not love.
I don't know what that one is called.
00:30:03.425 --> 00:30:06.338
I don't know what they call that one
because there's too many definitions
00:30:06.468 --> 00:30:08.714
Right now. So I don't know
what that one is called.
00:30:08.748 --> 00:30:12.730
But if anybody comes with you with
the goal of let's see how it goes.
00:30:13.102 --> 00:30:17.193
Relationship, I'll tell you girl,
guys, step out. Don't even begin.
00:30:17.276 --> 00:30:20.800
That's not a good thing. That's
not a good goal to hold on to.
00:30:21.249 --> 00:30:23.928
You are entering into a relationship
because you guys want to get
00:30:23.946 --> 00:30:24.938
married together.
00:30:24.938 --> 00:30:28.231
And another attachment to that is that
if you are going to get married to
00:30:28.298 --> 00:30:32.920
that person, then your goals,
your purpose should be the same.
00:30:33.243 --> 00:30:36.215
Because you are no longer going
to be chasing one, you'll be chasing
00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:37.379
10,000.
00:30:37.379 --> 00:30:40.790
Which also leads to the fact that you
have to have a relationship with God
00:30:41.225 --> 00:30:43.119
before you enter into a marriage.
00:30:43.398 --> 00:30:46.652
Because I believe that every marriage
of two believers is a kingdom
00:30:46.689 --> 00:30:50.140
Marriage. Because you are no longer
doing everything for yourself.
00:30:50.294 --> 00:30:54.024
You guys have not come together
to become a force to love.
00:30:55.764 --> 00:30:59.810
And the produce, the product of your
marriage are the kids that God will
00:30:59.926 --> 00:31:00.926
give to you guys.
00:31:01.111 --> 00:31:04.311
And when he gives those kids to you
guys, they themselves start to chase
00:31:04.333 --> 00:31:06.001
their thousand from when they are born.
00:31:06.629 --> 00:31:09.530
When you born them, day one, they
are already chasing their thousand.
00:31:09.992 --> 00:31:12.093
I don't care. That's what I believe in.
00:31:12.138 --> 00:31:13.593
That's genuinely what I believe in.
00:31:14.034 --> 00:31:16.417
So you have to have found
your purpose in God.
00:31:16.791 --> 00:31:21.210
You have to find a partner that
has the same purpose as you do.
00:31:21.927 --> 00:31:25.377
And then you guys have a goal
when you start a relationship.
00:31:25.390 --> 00:31:27.448
The goal is to get married, right?
00:31:27.510 --> 00:31:29.716
The goal is to get married
and to chase ten thousand.
00:31:29.928 --> 00:31:35.839
And I said marriage is not
just about the beautiful part
00:31:35.869 --> 00:31:39.402
of it. Let's travel around the world.
You're traveling with a man.
00:31:39.725 --> 00:31:43.863
You guys wear the same clothes.
There's so many pictures. It's beautiful.
00:31:44.383 --> 00:31:45.383
I love it.
00:31:45.576 --> 00:31:51.541
But that's not the, that's not
the, that's not the particular.
00:31:51.801 --> 00:31:55.611
That's not the particular reason why
God has made marriage. That's not why.
00:31:55.952 --> 00:31:59.361
That's not the biggest point of view
that God said, okay, I made marriage
00:31:59.423 --> 00:32:02.568
just so that you can take
pictures and snap. No, that's not.
00:32:02.782 --> 00:32:07.152
God is a man that is full. He's
a business-minded man. He created Adam.
00:32:07.929 --> 00:32:10.107
I mean, he made work
for Adam to come into.
00:32:10.249 --> 00:32:12.888
So God has goals as he's
connecting you guys together.
00:32:12.888 --> 00:32:14.873
He already has a goal that
he has set for you guys.
00:32:15.341 --> 00:32:18.071
Okay, I'm connecting Juliana and this
person together so that they can be
00:32:18.101 --> 00:32:19.383
able to do this, do this,
do this, do this.
00:32:19.611 --> 00:32:21.750
So you not come and come
together and be snapping picture.
00:32:22.550 --> 00:32:25.517
No, don't do that. The goal is big.
00:32:25.623 --> 00:32:28.179
So then you have to have found
purpose because you have found purpose
00:32:28.230 --> 00:32:28.790
individually.
00:32:28.790 --> 00:32:31.668
Before then God says, okay, these
people will bring a thought to my goal
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.519
together. Let me connect them
together and see how things go. Right?
00:32:35.564 --> 00:32:37.069
But I tell you, all those
things are beautiful.
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.310
Snapping pictures, doing all those
things together, going traveling
00:32:39.310 --> 00:32:43.714
Around the world makes marriage enjoyable.
00:32:43.802 --> 00:32:46.444
So it's no longer just stacks,
stacks, stacks, stacks.
00:32:46.791 --> 00:32:50.053
It makes it beautiful. relaxing,
even God rested, right?
00:32:50.170 --> 00:32:52.589
So it makes that,
those are your rest days.
00:32:52.871 --> 00:32:55.574
Those are the days that you get to enjoy
and just enjoy somebody that you
00:32:55.661 --> 00:32:59.756
got married to. And yeah, like I said,
love is beautiful, is amazing.
00:33:00.767 --> 00:33:03.035
And you just have to love
the person that you're dating.
00:33:03.077 --> 00:33:06.538
Don't just say, okay, because I'm
goal-oriented, I'm just a person that is
00:33:06.617 --> 00:33:07.617
chasing goals.
00:33:08.058 --> 00:33:12.196
And God said that I'm supposed to chase
50 million people back to the earth.
00:33:12.245 --> 00:33:13.245
I'm a missionary.
00:33:13.499 --> 00:33:15.778
Let me look for someone who is
also a missionary, let's marry.
00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:20.769
Yeah, but you have to also have
feelings for them because you also have
00:33:20.769 --> 00:33:24.455
to, not feelings, you have
to genuinely love them. You love them.
00:33:24.495 --> 00:33:26.283
They don't need to act
before you love them.
00:33:26.298 --> 00:33:32.082
Like your heart, your heart beats in
a certain way when their names are
00:33:32.092 --> 00:33:32.976
mentioned.
00:33:32.976 --> 00:33:36.540
You have a certain facial expression
when they come across you.
00:33:36.937 --> 00:33:39.036
You see them and you genuinely smile.
00:33:39.479 --> 00:33:42.933
Those are the things that
make it beautiful to continue.
00:33:43.244 --> 00:33:45.250
And don't just be goal-focused, focused.
00:33:45.390 --> 00:33:48.624
It's beautiful, but don't just be
that only thing that you'll be chasing
00:33:49.036 --> 00:33:52.294
because marriage is too beautiful that
it only goes. You know what I mean?
00:33:52.553 --> 00:33:53.822
Because there's always a balance to it.
00:33:54.389 --> 00:33:57.938
So, yeah, the topic again
was, do I call it love?
00:33:58.048 --> 00:34:03.965
And I hope with this definition,
we've been able to like get and really
00:34:04.027 --> 00:34:09.769
talk, find our feelings and
see if our feelings is love.
00:34:09.888 --> 00:34:12.561
So see if what you're feeling
is actually love or not.
00:34:12.917 --> 00:34:16.444
I'm giving you some little,
little tips that I've learned from the
00:34:16.455 --> 00:34:20.676
Holy Spirit from how to find out
if this is love as well, right?
00:34:20.806 --> 00:34:26.747
So, yeah, if you are a young person
and you are having feelings for
00:34:26.775 --> 00:34:30.195
this person or you like
them, see if it is love.
00:34:30.317 --> 00:34:33.773
And if you're young, I want you
to still wait a little bit more and like
00:34:33.836 --> 00:34:37.122
find your purpose, find yourself.
If it's that person, it would be.
00:34:37.620 --> 00:34:41.702
I tell you, if that person
is the person, it would be.
00:34:41.830 --> 00:34:44.270
And it will amaze you how they
will still connect to you.
00:34:44.270 --> 00:34:46.726
I'm like, ah-ha. You still
like me after all these years.
00:34:46.981 --> 00:34:49.945
That's just how I love
this, you know? Yeah.
00:34:50.103 --> 00:34:53.665
And if you're also a mature person,
you've been in relationship and
00:34:53.702 --> 00:34:57.063
it's not been very fruitful,
I want you to see it from this lens of
00:34:57.292 --> 00:34:59.917
understand how much love God has for you.
00:34:59.917 --> 00:35:04.387
And I want you to be very strict with
it, both guys and girls, like men and
00:35:04.387 --> 00:35:09.178
women, I would say. Be strict
with who you want to be loved by.
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.285
And the only way you can be strict
with who you want to be loved by is
00:35:13.803 --> 00:35:16.208
if you have understood how God loves you.
00:35:16.276 --> 00:35:22.174
That's literally the checkpoint
00:35:22.374 --> 00:35:27.939
to know who to accept to be loved,
to know who you want to love.
00:35:28.315 --> 00:35:30.710
You. You know what I mean? So yeah.
00:35:32.251 --> 00:35:35.178
Yeah, I think we've come
to the end of today's episode.
00:35:35.215 --> 00:35:37.410
Honestly, that was
a beautiful conversation.
00:35:37.917 --> 00:35:41.141
I hope we were able to learn one or
two things, be able to pick up some
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:46.260
things and start to use them
in your day-to-day activities.
00:35:46.642 --> 00:35:50.023
And for teenagers that maybe are not
even in any relationship or love, I
00:35:50.023 --> 00:35:52.680
hope you were able to learn some
things that you would use when you
00:35:52.939 --> 00:35:57.240
eventually want to be in a relationship
with whatever God is going to
00:35:57.694 --> 00:35:58.307
give unto you.
00:35:58.307 --> 00:36:04.129
And I really wish and hope everybody,
I know hope, I wish everyone a
00:36:04.241 --> 00:36:07.979
very beautiful, amazing, God-fulfilling,
00:36:09.082 --> 00:36:12.950
Mahanaim, godly man. I wish you
all the best in your marriage.
00:36:12.950 --> 00:36:17.130
And yeah, God bless you.

the start, but my name is Juliana.
