boy Rogers said, Yeah, today is my youngest baby's birthday.
And I don't know if she's listening, but I said
I was gonna shout her out a happy birthday, Anaiah
twenty four years old. Wow, I come tell you the time,

(03:28):
just fleu flu flu flu. But giving God all the
glory that we are able to wish her a twenty
fourth birthday on today. She out there partying doing her thing.
But you know, Mama Gott always shout out her babies.
No matter what we go through, we fight, we for us,
we go through our stuff. But you know that's being

(03:48):
a mama. That's just being a mama and the daughter.
That's just what we do. But again, I love her.
I love you Anayah wherever you are, if you're listening, oh,
happy birthday. But tonight we always bring you an uplifting
and inspiring show, and today will be no different. Tonight
we bring back to the testimony my dear sister in Christ.

(04:13):
She's a wife, a mother, a grandmama. She is an author,
and she's a poet and so much, so much, so
much more that God is instilling this wonderful woman. And
her name is paul up Town, just like my name, Falla. Paula. Yeah,
you only get it on this show. Paula.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Lord William's son is going.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
To be in the place. I tell you, I always
do an open door policy for people to come on back,
and I always bring my sister back because she's just
so wonderfully wonderfully made and she is my sister, my sister.
She off the line.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Come on, Paula, Oh thank you.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
You know you know I love you and I'm always loud,
so you today ain't gonna be no different job yet.
Those that don't know, let me introduce you to the
calm and collective Paula. That's my sister right there.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
How you doing this? We're blessed, Paula Brion. Yes, and
we always we always joke Paula Brion that you are
the loud Paula and I'm the quiet Paula.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
So so we pray, Praise God, Praise God. Yes, I'm
the one with the mouth. I got the left service. Yes, yes, man,
she do. You don't let her front. She just gives
it in a nice channel. Software you know what I'm saying.
When I'm loud and voisterous, you know, people just you know,
in your face type thing. But you know it yells right, Paula.

(05:53):
It all we always come together and do a wonderful,
wonderful mix. You know it compliment. We compliment each other,
that's for sure.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yes, yes, and you know, by God's grace, as you shared,
we compliment each other with our different personality. But what's
common about us is that we love and us respect
and appreciate each other. We celebrate each other. There's no
competition between us. And you know there's no covetousness. So

(06:24):
we praise God that when we say that we're friends,
or we say that we're designated friends, because quite oftentimes
we say we have friends, and we say it sometimes
very loosely. But to have designated friends, we describe those
as those who can see us with our natural self

(06:49):
pollen when we are quiet, or we're being loud, or
when we're being when we're being humble, when we have
to take the makeup off, when we have to take
the whigs off, or whatever uh the situation. As we
can trust those people with our vulnerability and authentics. So

(07:11):
we praise God that when we say we have designated friends,
we mean it that those who are appointed by God
to be there for us each other through this journey
of life. We can know that it's all been orchestrated
by God. So we praise God for you tonight, Paula

(07:33):
brion A man, Oh, praise God.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
My sister, our sister. Yes, you just say it's so
nice when you say.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
How loud I am.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I love it. I love it and only you and
and and just know you the only one Nigga said
all of this. Everybody says that about me, but God
is so good and it truly is a blessing to
know that you're respected where are, where you're at. And
that's what we do. We we respect one another no
matter what what place we're at and time and in

(08:07):
our relationship. And you know, I just bless God for you.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Again.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
It's always been an open door policy from the beginning.
You You have been someone that I totally respect because
you don't candy coat and play with God and oftentimes
because I could be a mess sometime. You know, I
need that I never forget. I got to bring this
to the remembrance of when I had taken these pictures

(08:32):
and there was a little provocative like kind of you know,
and you was like, girl, you don't push something, mal
you better take them pictures down. You was not playing,
and I know I mean it, and I respect that.
You know what I'm saying. Most people be like who
she thinks? He is a lot of No. I respect
that you know what I'm saying, because you know, you're
a woman of God and you have to in all ways.

(08:53):
You have to be acknowledged as that and shown as that.
And you check me and I appreciate that. I mean
that you've checked me by a lot of things, but
you know that that particular one. You know, you're You're
my big sister, and I've always looked at you as such.
And it ain't too many people, like I said, that
can come to me. I'm very good with taking constructive criticisms,

(09:16):
but oftentimes people don't know how to give constructive criticisms.
But you just have a knack. You know how to
say stuff. You know what I'm saying, and yeah, and
it's because you're just kind and sweet, but you're serious
when to come down to the Lord. So I just
have to let the listeners know that you are no
nonsense when it comes down to God. And this is
who they are getting on today. But again, some people

(09:37):
do not know who you are.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
I know you.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
A lot of the listeners that have been on my
show and listen, you know they know you because I
bring you back. Often I have to ask, how who
is Paula God Williamson. Who is this wonderful woman that
we speaking of? How to get again to book?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, let's see, to make a very long story short,
many years ago, when in the process of trying to
figure out who I am and whose I am, and
you know that can be a very long journey for
many of us. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of

(10:21):
bumps and bruises, et cetera. Brahma, brahma. And when it
is that we were led to accept the callon that
God has on our life as a minister to the
gospel and through poetry and sharing the word of God,

(10:43):
it was, Paula a juncture where we had that self
sabotage that we had to deal with because we're like, what,
I don't know anything about the radio hosting. Yeah, I'm
a quiet person. I'm not like Paula Brion. I don't
have any background. You know. My background has always been

(11:05):
in the medical field since eighteen years old. It was
a struggle. But once we yielded to the Holy Spirit
and accepted the call and understood that it was not
about pleasing people, we embraced how it is that God
blessed us through poetry, writing, through transparency. That too was

(11:29):
a struggle because we've always been very quiet, very protective
of our personal life, and to have this platform that
God has entrusted in us to be open and transparent
and lose sometimes it required a lot and so we

(11:50):
had to do a lot of trusting in God and
launch out in the deep if you will. And so
it took a lot of mold thing Paula and rebuilding
uh my character, uh, my self esteem because we you know,

(12:10):
we say we when it's uh when you see us,
but we say we because when we die to self,
when we receive our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as
our lord, it's now we him and I. So we
say we. So we wanted to make that clear for
those who may say, well, she schizophrenic, what is she

(12:34):
talking about? We? And it's just her. So we wanted
to make that plane. Okay, there's a scripture to that,
uh insulation. But when it is that, we can get
to that point and we say, yes, Lord, I will
do your will. He will train us up, he will

(12:54):
give us what it is that we need. And when
it is that through your brother as we did network marketing,
and he introduced me to you, Paula Brion and with
your radio show. We remember the first time we had
to meet with you. It was a little bit confused

(13:14):
as to where you were actually located. My husband and
I we traveled through Pennsylvania at that time, and all
we heard is a voice, a loud voice, and so
we decided to follow voice, and it was the voice
of Paula bris.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Always that loud voice, y'all, always that loud voice. Praise God.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yes, that was like a roadmap, Paula. We had to
follow the voice, and there you were, Paula Brion. So
we praised God that you allowed us and you shared
that platform and your microphone for the first time on
the live radio broadcast and gave birth at that time
for poetic transparency. Not many people will do such a

(14:06):
thing parlor, because there are times, especially we as females,
we tend to be hesitant in helping each other because
we are afraid that this person that we're trying to
help may be elevated and we are still stagnant or
whatever the situation is. So we praising us for you

(14:28):
that you do not have that level of insecurity that
prevented you from sharing that platform with us. Start poetic
transparency fourteen years ago. So when we say that, we're
grateful because being in the medical field, we got to

(14:50):
a place where we just knew that we did not
feel like we belonged in that environment. It was a
toxic environment and the well many times while doing our
medical reports. We find ourselves overhearing our peers saying, who
does she think she is? You know, she comes in

(15:10):
here and she acts like she's one of the doctors,
and she dresses like she is, you know, like she's
all that. And you heard people constantly murmuring behind my
back end. So it was a very uncomfortable situation. Yet
I continue to be myself, you know, being humble, trying

(15:32):
to do my work and be productive and friendly. But
that that juncture, Paula, where we sat there at the
desk and tears rolling down my face and we're like, God,
you know, there's got to be something else for me
that you have for me, because do medical reports. I
like it. I appreciate it. I learned a lot in

(15:54):
the field of medicine. However, we knew that there was
something and so God did not allow me to just
continue to stay there so which we would have. You know, Paula,
we stay in stock situations when we link up the
nine to five. I live in a house and it's

(16:15):
a sixth bedroom, and you know, or whatever the situation is,
I got to stick with this job. Although I'm crying
every day, I know that this is not my destiny,
identity and purpose, and like, however, God not that department.
So Paula had no choice but to be in a
place of wilderness. That we were reminded when we were like, God,

(16:40):
you know what am I supposed to do? Medicine is
all that I know. And so it reminded me all
of the poems that I had written from the age
of eighteen, and so we remembered lots of friends encouraging
us to write a book. So we started writing, you know,

(17:01):
more poetry and compiling the poems and stuff. And so
there was the birds of our first book, the thorns
and pedals of life. And when we think of the
throngs of petals, we can think of the beauty of
the roses, and you know, encompass with the thorns, those

(17:23):
prickly things, and those can represent the trauma, the drama,
the mishaps, and the rejection and more negatives that we
can think of. However, when we can stop and appreciate
why the thorns are there, because the songs are there

(17:43):
to protect those delicate pedals of the rose bushes, so
we can appreciate when God just placed that in our heart,
like three o'clock in the Morning, the thorns and Petals
of life. We knew that that represented Paula's life, so
many trials and tribulations, so many things we wrote about,

(18:05):
and so we just said thank you God. And in
the last poem of the first book, thank you God,
I know you for myself. And so that's a representation
of where we were through that journey of discovering who
Paula was called to be. And a lot of times
we as individuals, whether it is a man or a woman,

(18:27):
young or old, we get to a place where we
just don't even know what our destiny and identity is
in life, and we get very frustrated Paula, and so
we go about in our lives going through and fro
and we get to that point where we're agitated, We're frustrated,

(18:47):
we are angry, we become resentful and just annoyed by
anything and everything because we have not tapped into who
God has called us to be. And so we just
praise in ministry. It has been a journey that I
will not trade for anything under the sun, because when

(19:10):
you're serving God, and that does not preclude us from
the trials and the tribulations they do come. But when
they do come, we have that ability to grow and
to understand that we are going through what we're going
through through the processing because God is happening to elevate us,

(19:36):
and there are some of us we try to abort
the process because we don't like any challenges. We just
want everything to work smoothly. So we praise God that
even though we have again challenges many times, and we
can have serious challenges doing ministry, the spiritual warfare is

(19:59):
just ugh, it's just on and on on and on
on and on follow all and on. Yeah, we can
think of the thorns, but we know that there's a
hindred of protection that God has around us, and we
have hope, a hedge of protection every day. And so

(20:22):
when it is that we can know and and just
affirm within ourselves, thank you God, I know you for myself.
You can do anything and everything with God's grace and
his mercy, And we have to prioritize him because some
of us we want to do things in our own time. Paula, Oh,

(20:46):
my goodness, ministry has just to be other able followed.
Sometimes I'm like, oh Jesus, I feel like I'm a
fool in man'side guy, because when we are truly working
as disciples for Jesus Christ, we don't yield to the

(21:10):
saints that we would normally yield to in the flesh.
And so quite oftentimes Paula has to just sit down
and say, Lord, help me with this on because I'm
about to get in the flesh and whatever I do,
it's not gonna be pleasing of you. Oh help me

(21:30):
to be patient, help me to yield to the Holy Spirit,
and so God, I can please you and I can
get the results that will give you glory because I
tell you, Paula, sometimes it's.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Like, oh, m Jean, you know, thank God, I got
to stop you here because you know you say that,
but you transparency is really ringing loud right now, because
I would never you know. I know we're all humans,
but when it comes to you, I always think that
you are just like the ultimate, Like, you know, whatever

(22:05):
God speaks, you're You're he's talking through you because you
are just so uh such a sweet woman. Your your
spirit is just so sweet. And I know we all
have our trials and tribulations and things that we go through,
but I just always feel like it's not as bad
for you Paula. I don't know why, because you are

(22:27):
just so I'm telling you, you are just so sweet
and kind and I'd be like, yo, where.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
She come from?

Speaker 4 (22:32):
You know, I say, Lord, why, like even the jelling
between me and yous, like, because you know me, I'm
definitely always falling off. I'm always falling short, you know,
and God always God call you and this reel me
back in amongst other people. And you know, I don't
I tell anybody it's a challenge for me, you know,

(22:52):
because I'm I'm so strong willed, I'm so used to
being about my business that sometimes and and and I'm
sure listeners out there can understand that it's hard to
be about God's business even when you're trying your best,
even given titles like pastor and minister. You know, we're human,

(23:13):
we're human first. So it's just so warming to hear
you say that, because when I think about you, like
if I'm gonna call anybody, I'm I'm gonna definitely pick
up the phone to call you, because you always give
me that that sweet answer. You know what I'm saying.
You You, like I said, there's some there's some thaws
up in there, but like you said, it's to protection.

(23:34):
It's the protect the pederals. You know what I'm saying,
in the in the in the actual flower. You know
what I'm saying. But you give me that now, listen.
You give me what you gotta give me now. But
it's it's and I say this all the time, it's
all about how you say things, and and and and
for what part of your heart and soul you're coming

(23:54):
from that that gets me and and and that is
the only thing that checks me. And I'm telling you,
thank God for God's grace and mercy because if it
wasn't for that, I'd be I was already a hum dinger,
but it would have been a lot worse. You know
what I'm saying, if it wasn't for God, Who's on

(24:15):
my side. And I just thank you again for being
who you are. But I'm just I had to come
out and say that because you when I think Paula,
you know, the sweet, kind, soft spoken Paula, And I
know that you know you could get tough, I'm sure,
but I've never really had to meet that part of
you and praise God because I'm sure they're sweet kind

(24:38):
of you. As I know, there's a star right there.
You know what I'm saying. So I praise God that
I never had to deal with that one, Paula, not
that one, you know what I'm saying. But I respect
you because I never get that day you caught me, like, girl,
you don't take them pictures down. Take them down, you
know what I'm saying, Because you're supposed to be going
here and these pictures are taking you somewhere else. And

(24:59):
I really really appreciate that about you, Paula. And I
have to let the listeners know, you know, I always
let them know I'm only one one, like I'm straddling sometimes,
you know what I'm saying, because I am very, very
very I have a big heart and it gets you know,
it's I'm a mushy kind of person, even though I'm

(25:21):
loud of voiceos and crazy, but there's a mushi there somewhere,
and sometimes I have to get, you know, precked, just
to remind you, you know, get it together, to get
it together. And I so appreciate you for being that
thorn in my side that keeps me in alignment where
God is taking me and where I should be as

(25:42):
a woman of God. So I appreciate you. I had
to say that I had to break you up and
say that I have to because you have been that
for me and ain't too many people let her do that.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
And man, a friend of ours, she just said quiet storm. Yes,
Paula can be the quiet storm. Amen. No, Paula, you
don't want to see the other side of this.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Paula, all right, listen when you when you called me
out and corrected me, I was like, I couldn't be listened.
I was like, paul like, girl, you gotta take them
pictures down. I ain't playing. You know you was real
about that. But again, and I have to say this constantly.
It's how you say it. You say it in love,

(26:32):
and you know that's why the things that you do,
the walk that God has you on this journey to
help and assist people in being where they need to be.
Like you know, again, we're gonna talk about her retreat
and all the wonderful things that you do to help
the sisters in Christ.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
It is.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
It is so fitting and and I thank you for
being able to grow and continuously grow in who you
are are to be everything that God needs you to
be for his people. Bless God for you A man Praise.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
God to God be all the glory. Now, Paulus, when
we called you about those pictures on Facebook, and when
we saw those pictures, realize what in the world and
were like, okay, this should not represent who we know
you to be as a child of God and what

(27:31):
God has for you. And so we have to be careful,
especially as a woman, our attire what it is that
we're trying to portray. We don't want to be fleshery
and expose our femininity to the point that it distracts
people in thinking about what they like about us versus

(27:56):
what it is that we are led to share through
the Holy Spirit. So we don't want people to fall
because of our attiret uh to show h too much, booths,
to show too much hips, to show too much of
anything that will distract the opposite. Sex is not of God.

(28:18):
So we have to be very careful. And since we
are representing God or we have to uh, we have
to dress accordingly, so we cannot be a servant God
and then we are pleasing the flesh at the same time.
So it was not that first time when we saw it, Paula. Uh,

(28:40):
the Holy Spirit kind of challenged us about it and
we'll what we're not gonna call Paula. That's kind of
personal and we don't know how she will receive it.
So it took a lot of processing, uh through the
Holy Spirit, of what to do, when to do it,
how to do it. So I am not about that type.

(29:03):
It just opened my mouth and say that, because even
as that's my personality I used to I would be
the quiet one. I would sit down and watch and
observe and assess things, and mostly to discern how it
is that words, you know, those words that come out

(29:24):
of people's mouths. I would always, as a child stop
and think, well, how is this affecting this individual? Because
people are not careful about the words that they say.
Some people just they they take pride in saying the
type of things that will kill, kill still and destroy

(29:45):
one's destiny, identity and purpose in life, and they feel
proud of themselves. How could you say some words to
a child or even an adult and that person is
at the verge of suicide because they're having through side
of ideation or whatever the situation is, or they are

(30:05):
about to launch into the deep in their career through
a vision, through a dream, and then you what death
into that person's life. So I have always been that
type of person to assess what it is I have
to say to someone quite oftentimes, and to first of

(30:27):
all make it applicable to myself. How would I receive
what it is I have to say to someone. Even
in preparation for teaching on the warroomline at our church,
first Church, we're first being minister to Paula Brionn because
it has to be applicable to Paula first before we

(30:51):
can share, because we're representing the word of God to
make it become relevant, applicable, and practical to the people
of God. And so the words, because sometimes you know,
we are just reading words off, you know, in the

(31:13):
Bible or book or whatever, and there's no meaning. We
don't receive the revelation. We don't have that supernatural being
and spiritual interjection to say or this is what let's
said the Lord. You may have read it before and
you've got this revelation. Now today it's a different revelation.

(31:35):
So we have to be careful with what we say
to people because we cannot take words back. We cannot
take words back, so we have to be very careful.
And I was being very careful of Paula Brion because
we know that you're a woman of God, and sometimes
we overlook certain things. But it takes a system, a

(32:00):
true system, a true person who loves you and care
for you and care about your journey to say, you know,
that address is too short, or those shit really too
small on your feet you're walking and limp and what's
going on?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Right?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
But but it's definitely how you say it. It's definitely
how you say it. I must because I'm a very
bold and blunt and loud person. So you know it
would have taken you to really and I know you
seek God for that because you know, like you said,
oftentimes people don't receive certain things. And we've never had

(32:41):
that kind of interaction. You've always said what you have
to say, but it's never been on a reprimanding level.
You know what I'm saying. And I'll say that because
that's why God sent you to me. Or at that
particular time, I had no clue that the pictures was
even that you know bad You know, I really didn't,
so I didn't have no problem with sharing it. But

(33:02):
for you, you know, listening and being obedient to God
and and and actually bringing that to my you know,
to to my awareness that this was not appropriate. And
and you're the one looking at it, right, So it
was really important for me to you know, receive what
you were saying. And I really had to look at

(33:23):
the pictures in another life. And that's what a real
system would do for another system or just someone who's
loving on you. They're gonna put it in a perspective
that's pleasing to God and how God would see me
that that's really how you hit me. And I was like, wow,
and I'm and I'm doing this journey, you know what

(33:43):
I'm saying. And sometimes listeners, we have times where we
don't see certain things, but praise God for a God
allowing someone to intervene and fix what's been broken or
fix or restructure, you know, the brokenness. And that's and
that's in everything, you know what I'm saying. So again,

(34:05):
you know it was needed, it was needing. It was
an unction and from from within you, the God within
you to uh make that right. And that's only because
you love me and and and vice versa. We we
do that for one another. And I just so thank you.
I mean, you have truly truly been my big sister
from day one and and always there to straighten me out,

(34:28):
you know, eying up my clothes, whatever it needs to
be done to get me to where God would have
me to be before we leave this earth and that
and that's everything for me. So I truly could bless
you for for just being Paula, you know, the sweet Paula,
the kind source poking Paular. I thank you so much
just for for again, uh, even though you had to

(34:52):
to prick me, you know, to get me together. You know,
I appreciate it because it made me so much better,
you know, so much of a better uh uh, a
woman of God and I and again, uh, you know
it's it's a that's a that's a tall order, you
know what I'm saying, for us to help anyone to
try and and and you know, get them, And it

(35:13):
takes a special kind of lady, you know what I'm saying.
And I say that because everybody, like I said, is
not tasteful and tactful in what they're saying, including me.
I could be very abrasive and and I'm still learning,
you know what I'm saying. So to have someone like
you in my in my corner, in my camp, reminding
me on where I should be and how I should be.

(35:35):
And truly I fall short most times. But I I
you know, I thank you for allowing God to use
you to be that vessel uh to straighten me up.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
You know.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I love your book, you know that. And and you
know I'm gonna ask you to give me an excerpt
out of that wonderful book or either one at this point,
because you have two books, but the first one really
hit me.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
You know.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
I love The Crabs and the but you know that's
my favorite, you know, but there's just so many, so
many wonderful, wonderful excerpts of your books. Of course, you know,
allow God to use you and what you would like
to get to the people and lead to the people.
But before you do that again, I want you to

(36:19):
speak about the things that you're doing and give them
information as to how they can reach out to you,
because reaching out to you is essential and all that
God is doing in your life. So I'm gonna leave
that platform right there for you.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Man. So before we go followed Paula in that and
that conversation that we had about the pictures, we had
to get to the point because with our laughter and

(36:54):
whatever it is that we would let to share, we
had to break it down, Parlor, and I'm just saying
to you, just think about some lonely guy and every
being very Franks. Well, think about some lonely guy in
the middle of the night coming across your picture of Paula.
What do you think that that lonely guy would be

(37:14):
doing when looking at your picture? Now do you want
that responsibility on yourself with that lonely guy looking at
your picture and doing things that are inappropriate? So again,
we just praise God that when led by the Holy Spirit,
he gives us the wisdom to do and say things.

(37:39):
And we know that everyone does not have that ability
to do it in a kind, gentle, compassionate, humble spirit.
So we're just appreciative, Parlor, that you received what it
is that we were saying to you and as you mentioned,
it to grow and not everybody can do that. So

(38:02):
we praik God for you.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
And we love you.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Too. Yes. So the Women's Retreat for Poetic Transparency Ministry.
This is our fourth annual women's retreat. As you know, Paula.
We started out with the theme being Decorated Pain of

(38:27):
a virtuous woman who now prioritizes God. And then we
went on into you know, women being empowered. And for
this year, the fourth annual Woman's Retreat, the theme is
spiritual reproduction versus worldly infertility. Now that is quite a mouthful,

(38:54):
but we'll try to break it down a little bit. Now,
spiritual reproduction we can think of in the natural. How
is it that we can reproduce? Male and female have
to get together, They have to have intimacy in order
to reproduce. When we think of spiritual reproduction, we can

(39:17):
think of the having intimacy with the Holy Spirit. How
do we do that? We do that by spending time
with the Holy Spirit. How do we do that? We
spend time with the Holy Spirit and being intimate with
him by reading the Word of God, by meditating, by
worshiping him, and most of all, by prioritizing him. Paulabrion.

(39:42):
And so when we say spiritual reproduction, we think of
ways that we can reproduce. How do we reproduce? We
first have to be impregnated in order to reproduce. How
are we impregnated? And with what we are impregnated with
the Word of God, and we can reproduce the I e.

(40:06):
By evangelism, sharing the Word of God, sharing scriptures, sharing testimonies,
and being kind and following the commandments. Uh, you know,
the ten Commandments. And that's how we can reproduce some ways.
And when we can, when we think of worldly infertility, barrenness.

(40:31):
In other words, we can think of just simply put it,
when we are just working the nine to five. But
we we are doing things for fleshly reasons and we're
not even connected with the Holy Spirit. We don't even
acknowledge that there is a God who created the earth,

(40:53):
the heavens and the earth, or who created us as
human beings. And so we are just living in the world.
We are just reproducing the things of the world nine
to five. The money, the income, the house is the
tangible things. And so when we are being non productive
and non profitable in the kingdom, there is barrenness in

(41:19):
the Kingdom of God. So we have to be careful
every day we yield to one spirit or the other,
either the Holy Spirit or the Adamic Spirit. Excuse us.
We can yield to the Holy Spirit by prioritizing God,

(41:39):
by reading the Word of God, by spending time with
Him and doing his will, not our will, but his will,
and so that's how we can have spiritual reproduction. When
we think of excuse us, when we think of worldly

(42:01):
infertility or barrenness, there's nothing good that we're doing. We
have lack of growth virtually, we are stagnant. We feel
a sense of emptiness. There is no fruit of the spirit,
which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long suffering, fruitfulness, gentleness,

(42:23):
and all of the above. In the Book of Galatians,
Chapter five, Verses twenty two and twenty three, we have
increased difficulty with temptation. We don't know how to say
no to different things. We don't know how to shut
down the flesh. We don't know how to die to flesh.

(42:46):
And we have emotional distress. We have difficulty in the
things that we do that will be pleasing to God.
We doubt and we disbelieve. We have lack of concerns others.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
There's so many different ways that we have barrenness spiritually,
and there's also spiritual immaturity. We have a tendency to
be slow full spiritually. We don't feel like reading our
Bibles anymore. We think of every excuse on of the son.

(43:22):
We may just read the the twenty third song, for example,
in the bed and before we get to the third verse,
we fallen asleep, and so there there's no growth, there's
no reproduction. There. We cannot even share with our children

(43:42):
and our grandchildren of some scriptures of how it is
that we can say uh and share with them. If
you're going through something, pray about everything, worry about nothing,
because God is able. You have to trust them. How
do you trust somebody that you've never seen. You have

(44:03):
to have a relationship with him. You have to go
through some things. How do you know how to get
to the top of the mountain if they're not you know,
those grooves and those challenges that you endure, because if
the mountain were smooth, how could you be elevated. You

(44:25):
have to go through some things. So we have to
make a decision, make a choice. It's not easy. It's
not easy because the devil. We have voices that are
constantly in our heads. You know, why are you doing this?
You don't have to do this. You know you can
wait until you're eighty years old and then you know,
give your life to Christ. Tomorrow's not promised for anybody.

(44:49):
So we praise God and in this retreat. We would
share that if you are interested in attending the retreat,
you can go to the website of for Day Transparency
and that is www dot for a post p o
E t h o s T dot n E. The

(45:11):
number for the ministry is three on one six nine
one one two one seven. Again that number is three
oh one six nine one one two one seven and
so you can contact us and we will be more
than happy to share with you the details. The date

(45:32):
of the women's retreat will be August the seventh Thursday
through August the tenth Sunday, four days, three nights at
the Massinette Resort in Virginia. It's a wonderful place. We
have two speakers who will be there. We have our

(45:56):
first Lady Vanderina Martino of our church and she's a
wonderful person, very anointed, very gifted, very loving, quite a
virtuous woman. And we also have a Bishop Bonnie Hunter,
a very anointed woman of God as well. And we
will have you know, different times where we get together

(46:20):
and fellowship. We would have spare time so that folks
can go in and get in the spa Paula, get
the manicure and the petticure going on.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
Let me find out.

Speaker 5 (46:34):
I'll go to the pool, get out some of us.
We may have to have a robe and get in
a pool post.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Either that or.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
We may have to lose forty come. But nonetheless, were
just great, uh giving us uh the vision. And we
are just so excited because in the past, Paula, the
things that have occurred through the Holy Spirit, the supernatural

(47:10):
things we've seen deliverance take place, signs and wonders of
the Holy Spirit. People were just on the floor, uh,
starting some of them speak in tongues. We had such
a wonderful time, life would change. People have turned around,
and so it's all about God. It's not about Paula whatsoever.

(47:35):
So we are just grateful that he has given us
that gift, and we don't take them lightly. We do
what it is that he has called us to do.
When he gives us a vision, he makes haste to
give us the provision. So we are just, uh, we're
just in awe that he would use somebody like like.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Me, ug God bug God. Yes, I'm telling you, I
remember when you first started this retreat. God had you
moved on you to do this, and you're like I'm
gonna see what to do, you know, But like I said,
with your your go get a you know anything. When

(48:19):
it comes down to the Lord, you're there. And I
bless God just to be able to bring this to
the listeners and allowing them to know of all the
wonderful stuff that you've been doing. I definitely again this
is an open door policy for you always because you
always doing stuff. Is there anything new that God is
birthing or He's been talking to you about that you

(48:42):
might want to share a little just a little something,
something something, let us know what you're doing, because I mean,
you do so much. Is there anything that God has
placed in your heart right now that you want to
try in twenty twenty five, well, you know, a.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
Paulo Brion Women's ministry through porting transparency, even with the
preparation of the retreat, it's quite demanding, believe it or not,
but we have had and we continue to have the
support of our church, the First Church, sisters and brothers

(49:24):
as well, and thank God for our pastor, Doctor Ralph A.
Martino and the First Lady and all those who participate.
You know, it's just a journey that we just take
one day at a time when we see the vision
and God is just bringing it to fruition. We have

(49:47):
some wrinkles here and there, but it's so amazing and
when we see how he is able, uh to do
what he does to kind of smooth things out, and
he gets all the glory because he's training us up
to pray about everything and worrying that nothing when it

(50:07):
comes to women and the things that we can do
for each other. Uh, there's a vision of just embracing
women because so many of us, Paula, as you know,
we have the burden wellhiot to say burden, the storeship
of having the responsibilities of just doing everything and being

(50:33):
everything for everyone. But we don't know how stop and
love on our on ourselves. We don't know how to
put the mask on our face first. Before you know,
even the airplane the instructions that they give to us,
we don't know how to take care of self. So

(50:54):
even in the women's retreat, it's all about separating ourselves
from the mommy and the responsibilities and the titles and everything.
Then just go at fellowship with each other and iron
shopen's iron. Sometimes again, we have people who don't even

(51:16):
know their destiny identity and purpose in life. But ensharing,
we can perhaps bring out of someone and say, okay,
well you have been working on X, Y and Z.
That could be what God is calling you to be,
you know, and so that has did not have someone

(51:37):
to encourage them. So in that setting, you know, and
hopefully every day as everybody meets somebody, what is it
that you have here as your purpose in life? Everybody
should know what is your purpose in life? Because then
you get depressed, you just feel like you're existing. We

(51:58):
need to know why is it that we're share. We're
here to love each other, We're here to fulfill the
gospel of Jesus Christ and whatever level. It's not about titles, Paula,
It's all about doing God to express them. They love
to our brothers and sisters whom we see every day,

(52:19):
and that requires a lot. We don't necessarily have to
like our neighbors or or or or our coworkers, et cetera,
but we have to love them because when you love Jesus,
we know that He loves us. We can die to self.
We can die to how we feel externally about Tom,

(52:43):
Dick and Harry that they stepped on our toes that
they looked at us with cross eye as this main unit.
And in Tibet a colloquial word is uh coochyi. You
know that is like one eye faith and east and
one eye.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
Yes, yes, we are ensive.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
When you have truly the God, their love of Jesus Christ,
we can love each other. We can share of her
and say to God be all the glory. I can
give you a portion of what I have and I'm
not expecting anything back. And so we praise God. We're
a giver. We love to give with you, and we're

(53:27):
never in want parlor. You know, I've been young and
now I'm getting older. I've never seen the righteous forsaken
all his seed, banging bread, and in the giving, God
is always replenishing. So we praise God for the relationship
of God. We praise God.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
We praise God for you. Uh. We always need more
than an hour when we get together. God's just so much,
so much wisdom and empowerment. When you come to the platform,
and I saw appreciate you, but you know we do,
and you use this platform, so you know we do
nothing before starting to show. We start with prayer, and

(54:10):
of course we're going to end with prayer. So I
would just ask you to take us to the throne,
my sister, our Lolia Father the name of Jesus, we
come before you on tonight. We just want to honor you,
having a father, the First Lord. We ask that you
forgive us of our sins, anything that we have done, Lord.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
God and thought word. Indeed, in our iniquity of sin,
we just repent right now in the name. When she's
a search me of God and know my heart and
try me and see there's any wicked way in me,
and lead me in a way of elasting. We thank
your Holy Spirit for this woman of God, Alla Brion,

(54:52):
a designated friend. We thank your Holy Spirit that you
have used her and you continue to use her might.
So God, on tonight we pray that this platform, Heavenly
Father will be used by her to continue to share
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach souls. Heavenly Father,

(55:14):
so life can be changed, thoughts can be transformed, and
we can Lord God as a renewed mind that you
would have us to have. It's not about the tangible things,
Holy Spirit, It's all about you. So help us Lord
God to south and to yield to the Holy Spirit.

(55:36):
And so whatever we do, Heavenly Father, we just want
you to have all the prince, the honor and the glory.
So God is Father that you have for our will.
We pray God that you will magnify it. On tonight.
We ask that you will open up the windows of heaven,
Heavenly Father, and touch everyone under the sound of our voices.

(55:59):
Those who say, Heavenly Father, touch them. You have the
power holy spirit to heal them because you are Jehovah Rapha.
We thank you for the shown peace over shalom. We
will have peace on tonight, Dear God, no matter what
circumstances situations. So God, we praise that you will breathe

(56:21):
new life into our nostrils. Heavenly Father, those Lord feel LeFarge,
Heavenly Father, just restore them on tonight. We just as
a heaven that you continue to give us hope that
head your protection every day. And it's in Jesus name.
Give you all the praise to honor and the glory.

(56:42):
And we say we love you God, and we say
shalom on tonight. Amen follow you.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Amen, Yes, whoa my yes, Lord. We just just I
know the listeners were blest on today. I will be

wonderfully put together by God, and it's uplifting and it's
inspiring for the mind, body and the soul, and we
