Dr. Velma celebrates her 12th podcast episode and reviews the past two-episode topics related to the importance of the waiting season or what she calls WAIT training God uses to prepare us. In addition, she highlights the previous episode where she discussed Adam in Gen. 2 and how many men experience having their eyes closed to the idea of a wife. She shared there were two times when Adam's eyes were closed:  the first, when Adam focused on his purpose and didn't consider a woman or a need for a companion; the second when God closed them until it was time for Adam to meet his wife. 

Dr. Velma concludes with a reminder of her discussion of Isa 40:31 and the importance of building one's faith muscles in the Waiting season.

relationships and marriage. I said she, but it's me and
it's a conversation that I hope that you have with me.

excited that I have all of these to support me.

(02:17):
But also I have been married fifty years, so I
am that tightest two woman that God says, let the
elder teach the younger. So my why has always been
that this is just a piece that's not being taught
and focused on in the churches. So I'm glad that
God has given me the passion, the compassion to really
address this. I really want to see more women become

(02:40):
the right mate so that they can meet the right mate.
So I hope that everything we've talked about so far
is helping you to do that. So I'm just glad
that you guys are all tuning in to The Doctor
Velma Talks Podcast number twelve. And this season will conclude
for me at the end of September and we pick

(03:01):
up again in May of twenty twenty five, so stay
tuned for more. So here we are this particular episode,
I just want to review a couple of things, so
I hope you've caught on to some of the things
I've been talking about and saying, because it's important. Preparation
is important, self examination is important. You think this journey

(03:24):
to a long term marriage is simple and easy, No,
I'm trying to help you prepare so you have the
better you have an increased increased your value, and increased
your opportunity to create a lifelong marriage because it's going

(03:44):
to take some effort on your part, and we'll be
talking a little bit more about that in the next episode.
I'm going to get into some of those questions you
really need to find out about the person a little
more than what we do right now. So many people
going out on dates with strangers, and many of them
were walking down the aisle marrying a stranger. So let's

(04:04):
just not do that. Let's do it the way that
God has designed it to be, and you keep him
in the middle of the decision making process. So we
talked about in the last episode how Adam was placed
asleep twice. He was asleep basically in terms of his priorities,

(04:26):
because his only goal was fulfilling his purpose. He was
not thinking about a companion. So basically his eyes were closed.
That's what I call asleep. His eyes were closed the
idea of a companion. He didn't think about it. Nothing
in scripture said that he did. The only thing that
gives us a clue about who talked about the importance
of him having a companion is God. The scripture says

(04:49):
that God looked and said, it's not good that man
should live alone. So she knew the timing of when
Adam needed a companion. So the first time, he was
just satisfied for filling his role and his purpose. And
it's interesting that you know that women today find that strange.
I don't find it strange at all. I've many men

(05:10):
who are busy fulfilling their purpose and satisfied in doing that,
let them fulfill their God or dain purpose. And yet
we find this strange. And then so many women want
to interrupt this process and they shouldn't. And so because
they're satisfied with where they are, and when it is time,
God will open their eyes. And so the question I

(05:30):
would have for the woman who would do this and
try to interrupt him would be, you need to examine
why you're doing it, because that says a red flag
for me that you're in a hurry to interrupt where
he is and his purpose when you should be doing
the same thing, fulfilling your purpose too. So you should
be busy too until God taps you on the shoulder
and say, hey, I have a husband for you. So

(05:51):
that's what's important. So we saw that he was asleep,
he was busy with his purpose, and he didn't have
time for anything else. We learn that we cannot and
should not try to disrupt this process. When you see
a man that's like that, that's not your job. That's
God's job. So ladies, please step out away from that.
That's not who you are and what you should be doing.

(06:14):
So they should wait on God and so should you one,
You may not be the one, so his eyes may
be closed because you're not the one, or it's not
the time. In any case, you should not insert yourself
and should wait on God. And then in episode ten
we discuss weight training. Some people refer to it as
the waiting season. The word says they that weight In

(06:37):
Isaiah forty and thirty one, that word weight means they
that tie take strands, tie them, wrap them, intertwine them,
and twist them all together. That's what the weight really means.
And that was a picture of how muscles grow. Muscles
are strands, and the way you build muscle you have
to exercise and strengthen them, and that's the same and

(07:00):
they grow into stronger strands, and that's how they're building.
That's how muscles grow strong. And so we discussed the
fact that Isaiah forty thirty one was really talking about
they that grow, they that build these strands. And then
it says rich shall renew. That means grow up. So
they that spend the time during their waiting season building

(07:22):
these strands and tying and intertwining them together, they will
grow up, which means, like the muscles you're growing in strength,
but what are you building. You're building your faith muscles.
That's what you're building. You're building a trust in God.
You're believing more and more and building that trust in God.
So your faith muscles grow during that waiting season. And

(07:44):
so you can see why God does that on purpose
that you have to grow, you have to grow up.
We're talking about seasoned believers who will come together that
when they are ready, when it is time, God will
bring them together. We're not talking about children, and we're
not talking about high schoolers either. And so Hebrews eleven

(08:06):
and six let me share that says that without faith
it is impossible to please God. They that come to
God must believe that he is. So let me pause
right there. The reason we have to build our faith muscles.
You can't do anything unless you believe. Everything in scripture
points to the importance of believing. First Jesus sometimes he
would ask, first, do you believe? Because you're wasting his

(08:27):
time if you don't take the time to express that
you do believe. And so here we are that without
faith it is impossible to please God. And they that
come to God must believe that he is. But all
of this asks to strengthening your faith muscles. Because and
Romans ten is seventeen. It says faith comes by hearing.

(08:50):
Guess how you have to build those faith muscles hearing
the word of God. You have to surround yourself and
you have to make sure you pour it in to
your spirit, the word of God. That's why we said
that your faith in God's promises is what will open
the doors. And so when you think in terms of

(09:13):
what those things are, we talked about strands. You build
strands when you go to prayer, you build strands. When
you go to Bible study, you build strands. When you
study the Word of God yourself. You build strands when
you listen to the Word. The more you pour the
word into your spirit, the more you're going to strengthen
that faith muscle. Faith cometh by hearing the word of God.

(09:35):
And then guess what happens when you begin to build
those faith muscles. You also began to speak in faith.
And I wrote down another scripture I wanted you to
be aware of, and I didn't. You can't find mine
by notation, but I pray that you find it. That
is important that you learn to practice speaking out of

(09:55):
your mouth. What you believe God is going to do.
Because if you don't believe, you you can tell a
person that doesn't believe because of what comes out of
their mouth, I don't ever, I won't ever, this's always
happened on what's going on wrong? Now, that's a person
that doesn't believe. That's not faith at all. But when
you pour in, when during this weight training, this weight season,

(10:18):
you are building those strands, you are building your faith muscles.
You are growing up in the Lord. Because growing up
has to do with growing in faith. Growing in faith
by hearing the word of God, pouring into the word,
believe in every word that God has said, and then
you begin to speak it out of your mouth, releasing
and declaring it in your atmosphere, saying what you know

(10:41):
God is going to do, even though it has not
manifested yet. There have been many times I've spoken to
the atmosphere something that had not even manifested yet. But
that's what faith does. You can speak it because you
know that God has heard and you know that God
is going to answer. Do you have that kind of faith?
If you don't, it's time to grow up. It's time

(11:02):
to grow up. As Isaiah forty and thirty one says
it's time for you to build those strict, those faith
muscles so that you can because if you don't learn
how to speak blessings into your life, blessings through the
word of God, you will begin to speak curses over
your life. That's the person that always I don't know

(11:23):
why this always happened, blah blah blah. Those kind of
statements are curses over your life. So when you live
a life that keeps repeating some of the same negative
things that are happening, that's because you've spoken those things
over your life. God didn't come to curse your life.
He came to bless your life, and so therefore you
should take his word and speak his word over your life.

(11:44):
Speak those blessings over your life. Speak what you believe
over your life, even if it has not shown up yet.
As long as you speak it, it's going to activate
and you're going to see a manifestation. So when you
believe it comes out of your mind. Stop speaking negatives.
I've heard some people and there's not enough good man.
That's a lie. There are some good men, you just

(12:07):
have not met them. There are some good men, and
so guys, I want you to know there's some good
women too. There's some bad women out there, but there's
also some good ones. But you have to speak those
things and call them forth those things that are not
as though they were. It's about your faith, it's about
what you believe, and it has to come out of
your mouth. Speak those declarations every morning about your husband.

(12:30):
One of the things I encourage my daughters to do
when they were when we had our conversations, is that
I asked them to pray for their husbands even though
they had not met him yet. Here's why. If you
believe he exists, why aren't you praying for him? Come on,
say hello, put hello in the comments, Hello, question mark,
Mike drop, start praying for him. If you believe, start

(12:56):
praying for him. If you believe he exists and God
has a man for you, start praying for him. Pray
that then God will keep the enemy at bad. Pray
that he not try to be tricked into some of
the things women will trick men into today. Pray and men.
If you believe that the Woman of God exists out
there for you, that God has her for you, then

(13:16):
start praying for her, even if you have not met her.
God I pray that you help and keep her guard
her life from the hands of the enemy and any
kind of counterfeits that will try to present themselves as
if they're a husband. We watched the movie last night,
and I don't want to say the name of it
right now, but it just reminded me of how easy
women fall into these negative, dangerous situations with these men

(13:42):
without taking your time to really examine the heart of
who this person is, just getting mesmerized by him, mesmerized
by how skillful he is and letting you know that
you are faking it, giving you the saying the right words,
making you think you are a prior. And you have
not done any examination of who he is, where he's

(14:04):
come from, some history about him. Nothing. And the woman
did nothing of this, and she all and he robbed
her of her money in the bank account. He robbed
her of her the money she had in her house
that was paid off. She was about to lose her home.
She got fired from her job because he stole from
her company, stealing her password and took over three hundred

(14:26):
and seventy five thousand dollars from the company, so they
fired her, thinking she stole it. He did the mortgage
and used a fake number to really scam and cheat
and sign documents like it was her and she found
out when she was four thousand dollars behind on a
payment which she thought she had no payments and because

(14:47):
he borrowed against the house another four hundred thousand dollars.
You need to do better. We need to do better.
Keep God in the process. Let me tell you, take
your time to examine who this person really is and
stop getting mesmerized over this stuff you see on the surface,
which we call conditions. So let's believe. Let's start there.
So here's your assignment. I just want to know how

(15:10):
many of you are going to start praying for your husband.
Just put it in the comments section. And husband and men,
how many of you are going to start praying for
the wife and godly wife that God has for you?
Just put it in the comments. So send me a
message on a Deny Publishing dot com or at gmail
ad den I Publishing at gmail dot com, or you

(15:33):
can send it to doctor Velmabagbee dot com on my
website and just send me a message. But I want
you to start praying for your maid. Pray that God
will cover them and keep them because your prayer life
will not cease after you marry them. So if I
told you in the beginning praying for your husband or
your wife is important for you to begin doing now,

(15:55):
you probably would not have received it. But I'm asking
you to do it now. Some might say, but there
is in anyone present, right do you believe that they exist?
That's what you're saying. God believe they exist. So I'm
gonna start praying for them now. But faith says they exist,
and that your faith says they exist, then you need
to start praying. Thank you so much for this episode
