00:02:48.879 --> 00:03:02.879 Um to make it um we're headed home, a covenant relationship, it has uh some ingredients or has some attributes to it. 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:14.479 It usually deals with loyalty, it usually deal with honesty, and it usually deals with love. 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.240 A true covenant relationship usually have those three things loyalty, honesty, and love. 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:48.240 Now, uh biblically, there were uh some people in the old testament that had a covenant relationship with God, and it was uh Moses because what God did, God was loyal, God was loving, God was uh helping Moses through his whole journey, and they had a covenant relationship while God was using Moses. 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.759 God had a covenant uh relationship with Noah. 00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:14.000 God gave Noah an assignment, and he also gave him the know-how of the assignment and what the covenant relationship was with that, because it was God Himself deciding that I want to be in a relationship with Noah so that he would build this yark so when I send the flood that there would be a new start on civilization. 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:38.000 Yeah, Aaron was another one that had a covenant relationship with God who took on the reins after Moses passed away, for him to continue to be the shepherd that the people followed after Moses, and then we had the new covenant, which we all get through Jesus Christ, and that's a covenant relationship with the Lord when we accept him as our Lord and Savior. 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:48.959 Now, a convenient relationship is uh I can remember a time I had a convenient relationship with God, even though God had a covenant relationship with me. 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.839 And that's like whenever I got in trouble or got in a bind, I called on God to get me out of my trouble. 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.800 I prayed to God harder because I was conveniently tapping in when it benefited me. 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:14.480 In this world, when you have a convenient relationship with somebody, you'll notice they call you when they need something, or they just don't call you and there's no strings attached. 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.279 Uh, but you can have a covenant relationship with them where you just love them. 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.519 Anything they need, you got them, and you don't want nothing out of the deal. 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.839 Uh that's that's similar to the God. 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:34.639 God just loves us, He's loyal to us, He is honest with us, He is truthful with us, and you'll find yourself that way with some people, right? 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.439 And you're not getting that same thing back. 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:45.439 They they're conveniently with you because of what you have to offer, but there's no covenant. 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:54.879 That means there's not a continuing conversation going on between you just to see how you're doing to check on you, and you'll you know the difference. 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.160 Yeah, yeah. 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:57.360 Big facts. 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.319 All right. 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.120 Um, I agree with everything you said. 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:20.240 Um what I what I'll add to that is um a convenient relationship um is just one way, you know, when you have um a purpose, uh covenant relationship, you understand that the covenant is the purpose, you know. 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:29.920 Um I was raised in um in a home that that taught us how to commune with people because it says it in the word, you know. 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.959 Um, so um it is important that we as people do find our people. 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.600 God does want to use you, you know. 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:54.160 We can't that's why he tells us that that we have to be pure in heart, humble, because God can only use a humble heart, you know, and and and you have to have um purpose, you know, and the purpose is building in the kingdom of Christ. 00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:01.040 And when you find people that want to build the kingdom of God, those are your people, and that's what the Bible says. 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.800 Because as a as a collective, as people, our only goal should be to worship Christ and to spread the word of God. 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.839 That's it, that's what He created us for, you know. 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:13.600 And I left something out. 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.519 I didn't mean Aaron, I meant Abraham and David. 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:32.720 Those were two other people that we seen God have a covenant relationship with, and it came with God's loving kindness, it came with God's mercy, and a covenant relationship is a binder. 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.000 Yeah, a covenant relationship is like this. 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.079 Holl at me when you need me. 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.360 A covenant is a binding relationship, yeah. 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:50.959 But when we have a relationship with God, it's a binding relationship and it's bound by his love, his mercy, his grace. 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:51.839 Amen. 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:52.879 Amen. 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:54.160 I love that. 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.160 All right, question number two. 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.519 Why do you think so many people today feel connected online but spiritually lonely in real life? 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:16.160 And um, before you uh say that, we're living the we're living in a time of high suicide rates, high depression. 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.879 Um, this is a very depressed

generation. 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.120 Why do you think that people feel so disconnected? 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:40.559 Well, um, I will say this that we I'm gonna you when I say when I I I I I heard the word disconnected, I'ma use the word empty. 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:54.000 Um when you seek God, you'll find God, and God is the only one that can really feel you what you're empty of and what you're missing, right? 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:54.639 Yeah. 00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:05.440 We we just mentioned social media, but that's uh a thing that that finds a way to keep people's attention, but it doesn't fill them. 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.559 Yeah. 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.799 Uh drinking is another thing. 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.320 I used to drink a lot just to get stuff off my mind. 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.279 Let me just go get me a drink and just kick back and shit. 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.039 But it never filled me. 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.879 It it it bandaid what I was going through at the moment. 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.159 Sometimes we have these different vices. 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.200 Some people go to the mall and uh some people look for self-gratification. 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.240 It's something that is it's an empty space in here that only God can fill. 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.360 And that's the way God created us, He created us empty. 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.399 So I see a lot of people say, I'm almost born with God's spirit. 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.919 Well, then that means I would never have to accept God to come into my life. 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.679 That means he's already there. 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:53.840 What I'm born with is the knowledge of good and evil, good and bad. 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.360 But I have to accept God's spirit because I walk around empty all the time. 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:04.080 That's why the man in the Bible kept filling up barns, but he was never full. 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.000 He just got one barn after another, just kept filling. 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.799 And you you'll see a person, some people have a hobby, then some people have a vice. 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.320 It's just like they can't stop. 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.639 They try to fill a void. 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:24.879 Yeah, and the only person that can fill the void is the same God that blew in the Adam life. 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.840 That was Him filling Adam up. 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:34.799 And when it came to Jesus, Jesus said, I must go away so that I can send a comforter. 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:39.200 And that comforter that when it comes in, it's gonna teach you and show you all things. 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.360 But also that comforter was us receiving the Holy Spirit to be filled with God. 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:45.919 Amen. 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:55.600 So social media is really one of those things that I'm watching, even I'm watching this lawsuit that's going on now. 00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:02.320 If your child uh played this game so much, they could be, they can give tap into a civil lawsuit. 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:14.000 If your child is uh like having like dark moments or having uh, as you say, suicidal thoughts, but they've been stuck on the computer a long time. 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:21.679 They say Mark Zuckerberg had to put X amount of billions to the side for us to tap into that fund to try to get some help. 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.639 But guess what?

kids that are, we see our kids that shouldn't be around certain communities. 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.480 Yeah. 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.519 And if they don't listen, they end up getting caught. 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:55.839 Like I just noticed that, and I hope some other uh parents can understand where I'm coming from. 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.000 I I haven't noticed that a kid can go around another community and change it. 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:08.480 It always seemed like they go around a community and it draws from them and then they start looking like it. 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:17.039 So it it affects God's purpose if you're not on if you're not going the route that God wants you to go. 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:32.960 But if you're going somewhere and it's not the community that you want to be to, but it's where God wants you to go to, it's something in it that's gonna uh help hone in on God's purpose on your life. 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:44.240 And the other thing that we have to count on, that we have that we can count on is when we learn from the Bible that what the devil meant for bad, God meant for good. 00:19:44.480 --> 00:20:07.440 See, even if we go wrong and go astray, God will find a way for us to learn something from that, that we'll find out how it'll help our purpose later, like uh uh my ability to measure things in the kitchen from my street hustle, now I'm measuring things in the kitchen to sell lemonade. 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.400 You get what I'm saying? 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:15.039 Yes, or my gift to a gab for the streets, not a gift of gap is for Christ. 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:24.079 So so God can take that mess and don't let it go to waste, but I would say don't test God. 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:28.000 Well, can I and I so yes, I love that. 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.240 The way we were raised, the way that word was given to us, right? 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:48.640 Um God, He can use your past for His glory, but it does not mean that you have to go through everything that you've gone through, right? 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.559 Right, right This is real, that's wisdom, it's wisdom. 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.359 Sometimes we choose the wrong path. 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.240 We sometimes we make the mistake. 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.400 God didn't mean you for you to go. 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.039 That God was like, no, chill out, right? 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.720 But we're hard-headed sometimes. 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.640 I know I that's me, right? 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.200 And we choose our own path sometimes. 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:24.880 What happens is that when we humble ourselves to God and we recognize like David, like Moses, like when we recognize that, hey, maybe we did mess up, maybe I shouldn't have gone down that road. 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:32.000 What God does is that He redeems us because we humbled ourselves and we asked for forgiveness. 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.039 There's people that

there's no redemption for, there's people that will go down the path and you're done. 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.759 Why? 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.480 Because there is no God at the end of the line for you. 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:41.119 Right, right. 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.960 You made the you made the mistake. 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.799 You made the decision, you stood on it, and God is gonna stand on His too. 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.240 I told you not to go that route. 00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.039 Right, right, right. 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:55.599 And now you're and now you're uh arrogant, telling me you know, that's not how that works. 00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.440 It's so I I say that to say, like you said, don't test God. 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.720 It's Not like oh I can do whatever I want, and that's not how that works. 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.960 God gonna make you work later. 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:13.200 No, no, some people, some people are living the mistakes till this day, and God is sitting there, like, how many times did I tell you not to do that? 00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.559 Right, right, right, right. 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:25.039 You know, but the great thing is that when we do humble ourselves, when we do ask our father for forgiveness, and we change direction, you have to change you. 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.880 It's not just a no, I went this route because I chose it. 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:42.960 Now you have to choose not to go that route and choose to do something else, you know, and then God can say, I'm gonna take that and now use it for my for my for the good of the of the faith and all that. 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.759 Amen. 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.640 Oh, and another thing that I was gonna add was what was going on with this kid. 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.440 You saw what's going on with this kid, that the the kid who killed Fabio, what's his Fullio? 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.720 Um bro, yes, and that can go. 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:01.599 Can God can God um bless your purpose if you're surrounded by the wrong community? 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.559 No, this is what happens, this is the reality. 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.799 This is what I would tell my sons. 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:20.480 Being around the wrong person can destroy your purpose because that person has access to kill you, that person has access to your mental, to your spirit, it can destroy you, it will destroy you. 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.079 Definitely gonna start off with delaying you, yeah. 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.559 On to destroying you, yeah, taking you right off your route. 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:48.160 Yeah, I was listening to a um uh uh uh a blogger or a podcaster, and they weren't they was making fun about his family asking for money, but they talked about the type of background he came from. 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:59.839 Yeah, and and I know what that kid feels like because when I kept ended up in prison, yeah, I wasn't

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.599 Well, uh, this is a good time to go to the scripture. 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:31.119 And I think you remember where the scripture said, when a man comes to an altar with his sacrifice to God, and God says, if you have an alt with a brother, go make it right, then come to me. 00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.279 That's a form of accountability. 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.880 God saying, You come to me asking me for forgiveness, you come to me asking me for things. 00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:43.200 But in your human daily walk, you got issues with people. 00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:46.319 You just need to go get those, then come to the altar. 00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.000 Don't bring that stuff to the altar. 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.519 So the Bible teaches us to be accountable. 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.480 Now, accountable don't mean you right and the person wrong. 00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.519 The person or the person right and you wrong. 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:04.240 Yeah, it's giving up the right for the wrong to bring peace and harmony. 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:14.079 Meaning a person could have wronged me and something I said or did offended him, but I had a reason for it, you know, which is a right reason. 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.920 Just say I babbled something back, but I offended him. 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:18.160 Yeah. 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:25.200 But he deserved what I gave him, but it's still a wedge, there's still an alt, it's still something between us two. 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:31.359 God is teaching us in his word, be accountable for how I want you to be. 00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:35.519 Go to that person, even though they're wrong and you right. 00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.000 Yeah. 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:44.160 But because there's a wedge, go mend that wedge and come back to me, and I handle the right and wrong about it. 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:45.119 Amen. 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.519 Like the brother said, uh, about the who can tell the part of what to do. 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:49.839 Yeah. 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.160 Right. 00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:51.599 Let God fix it. 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.400 You know, don't just do what God does just to please God, not to please self. 00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:56.880 Amen. 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.480 That's being very accountable, being accountable to the Lord. 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:12.400 The way that I was raised in that word is I was raised that um if someone tells you that you offended them, you don't ask, you don't do anything, you apologize immediately. 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.200 That's how I was raised. 00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:14.720 That's all matters. 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:22.240 I was raised that you don't, if someone says you offended me, I automatically my thing should be I apologize. 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.759 That was not my intent. 00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:38.079 Now, if they care to hear why you said that, then you approach and explain, I was speaking

under this, but if they don't want to hear that, they have the right not to hear it, and you have to understand what that means. 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.680 I offended you, and I have to take whatever comes with that. 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.160 That's why, that's why when I offend somebody, this is the godmother in me. 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.880 Right. 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:54.720 That's why when I offend somebody, I gotta be re I gotta be ready for what comes with it. 00:28:55.119 --> 00:29:00.240 Because if I offend you, either it's unintentional or intentional. 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:07.599 Because, like you said, some people you'll say something and and it's and I I said what I said, you know what I'm saying? 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:09.759 Because you deserved it. 00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:32.799 But in the same token, we have to be mindful because the the word of God tells us that we are walking examples of what the Holy Spirit, we are, we are vessels of the Holy Spirit, and it's we cannot in the same in the Bible it says that um what is it that um lukewarm water and and he'll spew us out if we can't wrong. 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.279 We gotta be hot or cold, right? 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:38.559 He'll spew us out. 00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.079 Yes, yes. 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:43.039 So um it's crazy. 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:46.400 And I'm listening to these questions, I'm seeing more covenant. 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:54.480 So back then, if I had a covenant relationship with God, I'm I'm not doing this making up because of me. 00:29:54.880 --> 00:30:05.039 I'm making up because that's what God said, do because I'm in a covenant relationship with him, I'm in a loyal relationship with him, I'm in a loving relationship with him. 00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:06.000 Amen. 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:10.000 So I should just do it because that's it's right by God. 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:10.799 Amen. 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.359 Facts. 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:18.960 And we don't want we don't want to walk around with um negative energy. 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:29.359 This is why we have to be careful how we treat others, what we say to others, because when we walk around with arrogance or that that we think that we're higher than somebody else or whatever. 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:35.119 People, the devil, the devil will utilize people to send you curses. 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:37.119 That's like having unnecessary. 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.400 That's like telling a kid, if I'm a kid, if I'm talking to my kids, right? 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.839 And you want to tell your kids, yo, just miss the unnecessary. 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.920 Miss because the devil can mess with you. 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:53.920 You know, they're there the you're you're not excluded from being, you know, messed with. 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:58.400 What just like Job, the difference is that God can cover you, maybe not kill you. 00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:02.559 Like he like he told

that allowed him to be victorious every time the enemy came in his atmosphere. 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:02.480 And now we're talking about a non-godly relationship and how we know it. 00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:15.199 We just said if you get into a covenant relationship like with Jesus, you'll be able to be victorious in that non-godly relationship that's coming in your atmosphere. 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:16.159 Amen. 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.119 Amen. 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.679 I love that. 00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.760 All the answers are about to be if you're in a covenant relationship with God. 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:22.880 And that's okay. 00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.559 Because that's the goal of this life is for you to take something with you. 00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:32.000 And what you're gonna take with you is that you need to have a covenant relationship with Christ, okay? 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:32.960 Right, amen. 00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:34.079 All right. 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:41.199 Number six, why is isolation so dangerous spiritually, emotionally, and mentally? 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:44.480 Okay, it goes two ways. 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:55.360 So, first way, the dangerous part because loneliness brings heaviness, and the word of God teaches those that are heavy, bring your burdens to me. 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.039 Those that are heavy, come to me. 00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:58.400 I'll give you rest. 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:13.679 God didn't create us to be long rangers and just deal with loneliness alone, so isolation without a source of strength can become dangerous. 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:16.480 It can compound your thoughts. 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:29.519 Um imagine like I was in a jail cell and I realized that when I was waiting okay, let me okay, here you go. 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:34.320 I was free, but I was waiting for deliberation to be sentenced. 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:45.360 But I was home and I was isolated at home, and I was in my room, and all I kept hearing, well, you're gonna get this, and this gonna happen. 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.960 Because I'm just isolated, I don't have nothing to draw strength from. 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:55.280 Now I'm free now, but I'm worried about what the jury may say the next morning. 00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:59.760 Yeah, but the devil just beat it, beat me up with all types of thoughts. 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:07.599 Now I went and got time, but I got isolated with Christ, and Christ gave me peace. 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:11.920 Yeah, I didn't have peace when I was free, worried about whether I was gonna get time. 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:30.159 Then I got a whole lot of time, and I didn't want all that whole lot of time, but because I isolated myself with the purpose of tapping into God and building a covenant relationship with Him, He gave me peace in prison that I didn't have when I was free. 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:54.320 So you got isolation that if you need to draw from something, draw from another godly person, or draw from the Spirit of God by spending time with God to get your strength up, because loneliness is another word for isolation, and it would take you out of here because the enemy got you alone, like he called Eve alone. 00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:56.239 He didn't catch Eve with the husband. 00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.280 Hey, come in, let me let you why ain't nobody around. 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.880 Yeah, and that's how the enemy does us, man. 00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:13.519 And and every now and then I hear about suicide, and I very seldom hear about it it's done with somebody there. 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:21.840 I hear about suicide, they go in the bathroom by themselves, they take a ride by themselves, they they go take a walk by themselves. 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.960 You see that now you see the dangers of isolation? 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:26.480 Yeah, amen. 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:27.360 Amen. 00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.800 And I I want to second what you're saying, but it's true. 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:38.639 Um, usually in the word of God in the Bible, he usually isolates his people for a purpose. 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.920 So if you're not being isolated for a purpose, there's no reason for you to be isolated. 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:50.000 Isolation is in the word of God, it says he created us to commune. 00:39:50.559 --> 00:40:14.639 He created us to look, how many times, minister, have I called you just to cry or just to talk just to just to pray, just to share, just to share, because the minister he represents in my life what the Godly relationships that the that the word of God tells us that we're supposed to have to give us strength when we are weak. 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:22.239 You know, and it's it's those prayers, it's those, it's that relationship that God wants you to have. 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.039 That's why we are here talking to you guys. 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:38.000 He wants you, he wants us to have brothers and sisters in Christ that can lift us up, that can be there for us, give us a a word of wisdom, a word of hope, give us a hug. 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:39.039 Do you know?
