Speaker 1 (00:00):
Faith walking right now? Am You know?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I know that there are some people that love to
get a bunch of people on their side with how
they feel, you know what I mean. Like, you know,
people love a lot of comments from people. They love
saying everybody knows or everybody heard, or it's a common
thing that people say, especially when something bad is going
on everybody's talking about it, or you know. Some people
(00:29):
need everybody to agree with them.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Me, I'm not. I'm not that girl.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't need everybody to agree with me when I
feel how I feel. I'm really confident in how I feel.
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing,
but I don't. I don't need a bunch of people
to agree with me for me to feel how I feel.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Here's where I feel like that works out in my favor.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
When God has called me to something, even if people
don't understand, I'm still gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
If people think, you.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Know, it's not wise, it's not smart, I'm still gonna
do it if I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
this is something God told me to do. I don't
have to second guess some question. I don't have to
get opinions from a bunch of people. Of course, I
have a circle of people that I ask to pray,
But I trust what God said, and I go with
what God said, because if the people that I ask
to pray are saying something opposite to what the Holy
Spirit told me, I'm not going to question the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm going to question them.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And so for me, it allows me to follow God
without constantly questioning him. And a lot of us we
are constantly questioning God, God, Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
God? Did you say it? God? Is it him? Should
I really forgive God? Do I have to God?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's difficult, and that's very human, and that's why His
mercy has to endure. His mercy has to endure. Says
it endures forever. What does it endure us and our
doubting and our stuff and our needing other people to
affirm what God said. I love when He confirms his word,
because He absolutely will confirm confirm his word. But it
(01:57):
doesn't have to be I don't need everybody to do
with like my trusted circle of prayer warriors of leaders,
of mentors and counselors and things like that. I'll go
to that group, but I don't need random people from
all over the world to say, yeah, I think this
is a good idea. And so I want us all
to get to the place to where we trust God
so hardcore, so when he says it, we automatically do it.
(02:20):
So when he says it, we get in go mode, right,
we don't go to our normal sources.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So God said this, how what you think? God said this?
What you think? God said this what you think?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
And I talk about this a lot because I think
a lot of us struggle in this area and this
is where the enemy gets us caught up in a
trick bag. Some of y'all been waiting ten years for
confirmation on something God told you to do a long
time ago, because it's something that's bigger than you, something
that may be intimidating. I want you to learn to
trust God, and that's the Holy Spirit to bring the
confidence and the surety that you need and your soul
(02:51):
to move forward. And then sometimes you just have to
move forward without being sure, without being confident. Just do
what he said just because he said it, and you
trust him if you do. But he said just because
he said it, because you trust him. That's big faith
rights there. Even in scripture when the Centurion asked Jesus
to pray for his son that was sick. He said,
(03:11):
you could just say a word. You don't have to
come and lay hands on him. You could just speak
a word. And the Bible says that same hour the
thing that God said was done.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I want us to trust God like that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And Jesus literally said, I have not seen greater faith
because this man trusted me without making me prove it first. Well,
God show me. God show me he will, because he's God.
You know he will. But what if you do you
just did the first time he said it? What if
you started just because he told you to. What if
you didn't grumble and complain and say, oh my God,
and it's too much, and the people go on this,
(03:42):
and the people going that, and God is going.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, we already knew that. We weren't expecting everybody to
have pom poms on for you. Were you expecting that?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Did you want me to give you the answer or
you want them to get you to give you the answer?
You have to decide who you following people are God.
You have to decide who you are serving the people
or God. We serve God, so we trust God. We
follow God. And when he tells us to go, we go.
It's cool if people jump on board and be like, yeah,
this is great. But if they don't, If God told
(04:12):
you to go, go, that's the message.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's the faith Walker. All right, y'all, I love you,
and I mean it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's go time for somebody out there. I know it's
just for you. Take a deep breath and give them
a yes. That's all you have to do. Yes, Lord,
Faith walking right now? Am You know?
