prayer- Amen🙏❤️‍🩹🙏always Wise talks💯

*Cool* episode, y'all!!! [insert canned laughter here] But seriously, folks... Senior Pastor Waylon: I love your use of the word "illumination" in this episode. Derek Prince preached about the 8 effects God's Word can have in our lives; the 4th being "mental illumination." I love the message each of you have in regard to it. I also love the 'food' aspect of your message in this episode. I believe - aside from food we consume for physical nourishment/sustenance - there are 2 other types of 'food:' Food we feed the Spirit and food we feed the flesh. I believe whichever one we feed more wins the battle. Food fasts (coupled with prayer, praise, worship, etc) - aside from the nutritional deprivation - is also deprivation of feeding the flesh (gluttony, distractions from God, desire for immediate pleasure regardless of [potentially quite negative] long-term impacts, etc) in favor of humbling one's self to seek God through the feeding of the Spirit. Why doesn't God just simply do good to all always? Great question you addressed in this episode, as well. I like to rephrase this question as: Why does God allow us to suffer? I believe through suffering we can do 1 of 2 things: 1. Lean on God, strengthen our faith in Him, and grow closer to Him in our intimate relationship with Him. 2. Lean on the flesh, try to control the situation ourselves, distance ourselves from God, and lose faith in Him. I believe we are always taught more lessons on His mercy and grace through either option; but option 2 is a much longer and harder lesson to learn (assuming those who chose this option never become unbelievers who also never become believers again). Anyway, this was a really good episode y'all. Thank you for sharing with us!!! ❤️✝️❤️
