The Warning: Not Random — The Spiritual Pattern Behind Corruption and Destruction

WEBVTT

00:00:10.031 --> 00:00:15.591
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,

00:00:16.091 --> 00:00:19.951
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.

00:00:20.091 --> 00:00:25.671
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable

00:00:25.671 --> 00:00:29.611
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.

00:00:30.011 --> 00:00:35.611
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,

00:00:35.971 --> 00:00:39.971
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,

00:00:40.491 --> 00:00:41.831
God granted his request.

00:00:42.031 --> 00:00:45.571
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,

00:00:45.951 --> 00:00:51.811
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.

00:01:00.975 --> 00:01:04.995
Hello, welcome back to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast. I'm your host,

00:01:05.175 --> 00:01:08.155
Connie Morris, and today we're starting a new series.

00:01:08.175 --> 00:01:13.235
It's really a segue off of the single life according to the Bible,

00:01:13.235 --> 00:01:16.035
but this one is titled, The Warning.

00:01:16.395 --> 00:01:22.355
This is not random. The spiritual pattern behind corruption and destruction.

00:01:22.915 --> 00:01:28.635
And I was in prayer, and as you know, sometimes you think that a topic is finished

00:01:28.635 --> 00:01:33.015
and then God is still talking and it's still about the same topic.

00:01:33.435 --> 00:01:37.015
So even though the title has changed, the topic has not changed.

00:01:37.195 --> 00:01:41.795
But this, the tone has changed because the tone is the warning.

00:01:41.975 --> 00:01:49.455
And the warning comes because there's a lot of women actually being unalived

00:01:49.455 --> 00:01:53.955
by someone close to them because they're not making wise decisions.

00:01:54.175 --> 00:01:56.715
And a lot of times we think that it's random.

00:01:57.075 --> 00:02:02.115
And we're going to talk more about why it's not random and how you have a choice.

00:02:02.435 --> 00:02:07.835
So random comes from, it says, the devil walks around as a roaring lion.

00:02:07.855 --> 00:02:10.555
So he's roaring, but he has no teeth.

00:02:10.775 --> 00:02:16.155
But yet women are so afraid of being alone and they're looking for a significant

00:02:16.155 --> 00:02:19.395
other that they're missing the roar.

00:02:19.575 --> 00:02:26.255
And so the foundational scripture for this one is It's found in Galatians 6 verses...

00:02:27.532 --> 00:02:30.652
7 and 8 and 9.

00:02:30.912 --> 00:02:34.312
And I'm going to read it because I want to read it directly from the Bible.

00:02:34.472 --> 00:02:39.652
It tells us that it's in verse 7, Be not deceived, God is not mocked.

00:02:39.732 --> 00:02:43.472
For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

00:02:43.592 --> 00:02:48.412
For he that soweth to his flesh, shall the flesh reap corruption.

00:02:48.412 --> 00:02:53.332
But he that soweth to the Spirit, shall the Spirit reap life everlasting.

00:02:53.832 --> 00:03:01.932
And let us not be weary in well-doing. For in due season, we should reap if we faint not.

00:03:02.332 --> 00:03:07.132
So what we've been witnessing in the world today and what we've been experiencing,

00:03:07.432 --> 00:03:12.092
I want you to know that's not a coincidence. It's not just life happening.

00:03:12.292 --> 00:03:17.392
There is a pattern, a pattern behind the confusion, a pattern behind the brokenness,

00:03:17.712 --> 00:03:22.012
a pattern behind the repeated cycles that seem to drain, distract,

00:03:22.312 --> 00:03:24.112
and ultimately destroy.

00:03:24.412 --> 00:03:29.712
And if you're not paying attention, you'll mistake it for normal, but it's not normal.

00:03:30.422 --> 00:03:35.002
It's strategic because the corruption doesn't just appear, it develops.

00:03:35.422 --> 00:03:38.502
Destruction doesn't just happen, it follows a path.

00:03:38.642 --> 00:03:45.162
And there are spiritual forces that thrive when that pattern goes unnoticed.

00:03:45.322 --> 00:03:49.022
This message is not here to scare you, it's here to wake you up,

00:03:49.142 --> 00:03:54.262
to shift your awareness, to sharpen your discernment, to help you see what's

00:03:54.262 --> 00:03:56.622
really operating beneath the surface.

00:03:56.622 --> 00:04:03.362
Because once you recognize a pattern, you have a choice to continue in it or to break it.

00:04:03.582 --> 00:04:10.702
This is your warning. Our episode is titled, The Warning. This is not random.

00:04:10.942 --> 00:04:15.022
The spiritual pattern behind corruption and destruction.

00:04:15.462 --> 00:04:19.662
So what we've been witnessing is not a coincidence. It's not bad luck.

00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:23.082
It's not a string of unfortunate disconnected events.

00:04:23.382 --> 00:04:28.702
This is not random. There is a pattern, one that is both spiritual and predictable.

00:04:29.162 --> 00:04:37.882
A pattern that begins quietly, develops subtly, subtly, even tragically when it goes unrecognized.

00:04:38.082 --> 00:04:40.982
So as I sought the Lord concerning what I've been observing,

00:04:41.402 --> 00:04:45.702
especially among single women or relationships that begin with promise,

00:04:45.882 --> 00:04:50.422
end in harm, loss, and in some cases death, I began to understand things,

00:04:50.562 --> 00:04:52.262
something a little bit deeper.

00:04:52.262 --> 00:04:59.262
What appears suddenly in nature has already been developing in the spirit.

00:04:59.502 --> 00:05:02.162
Nothing about destruction is accidental.

00:05:02.442 --> 00:05:04.242
The Word of God makes this clear.

00:05:04.642 --> 00:05:11.902
Galatians 6, 7, 8, which I just read, teaches that we are always sowing whether we realize it or not.

00:05:12.102 --> 00:05:16.002
Every decision, every connection, every compromise is a seed.

00:05:16.414 --> 00:05:23.214
And seeds do not disappear, they develop. Some seeds are sown in loneliness. Some are sown in desire.

00:05:23.514 --> 00:05:27.594
Some are driven by the need to feel seen, chosen, or loved.

00:05:27.814 --> 00:05:32.514
But when those seeds are planted in the flesh, outside of God's covering,

00:05:32.794 --> 00:05:35.234
they do not produce life.

00:05:35.414 --> 00:05:42.334
They produce corruption. And corruption, if left unchecked, does not remain hidden. It matures.

00:05:42.554 --> 00:05:45.234
The hidden stage. When corruption begins.

00:05:46.113 --> 00:05:52.873
Corrosion does not announce itself. It does not come with warning labels or alarms. It whispers.

00:05:53.173 --> 00:05:58.873
It shows up in moments that seem small, ignoring what didn't sit right,

00:05:59.173 --> 00:06:03.793
excusing behavior that should have been questioned, moving forward when God

00:06:03.793 --> 00:06:07.373
said pause, choosing connection over conviction.

00:06:07.633 --> 00:06:12.133
So at this stage, nothing looks dangerous. In fact, it may even look good.

00:06:12.293 --> 00:06:15.813
This is why the word warns us in Proverbs 14, 12.

00:06:16.113 --> 00:06:21.993
There is a way that seems, that appears to be right, but in the end, it leads to death.

00:06:22.333 --> 00:06:27.413
Corruption begins when something that is out of alignment is allowed to take root.

00:06:27.593 --> 00:06:31.393
And once it takes root, it begins to change your perception.

00:06:31.853 --> 00:06:38.773
What once felt wrong starts to feel normal. And what once raised concerns becomes easily overlooked.

00:06:39.293 --> 00:06:45.773
And what once required boundaries now feels negotiable. Corruption doesn't just affect your situation.

00:06:46.113 --> 00:06:51.913
It affects your discernment. The progression from corruption to destruction.

00:06:52.193 --> 00:06:57.753
The Bible outlines this progression clearly. James 1, 14, 15.

00:06:58.133 --> 00:07:04.833
Let me get that out so that you can hear the word of God in your ears.

00:07:04.953 --> 00:07:10.373
I'm talking about how when we begin to compromise, how that compromise is a

00:07:10.373 --> 00:07:13.573
seed and a seed began to grow. Why?

00:07:13.713 --> 00:07:16.353
Because we're reaping into our flesh.

00:07:16.513 --> 00:07:18.773
And that flesh, it reaps corruption.

00:07:19.093 --> 00:07:24.213
We'll get more into corruption as they go. But I want to read James 1, 14.

00:07:25.066 --> 00:07:30.446
And 15. And it tells us here, it says, but every man is tempted when he is drawn

00:07:30.446 --> 00:07:33.446
away of his own lust and enticed.

00:07:33.586 --> 00:07:40.766
Then when lust has conceived, it bringeth for sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth for death.

00:07:41.186 --> 00:07:47.366
Desire, sin, and death. This is not symbolic. It is a spiritual process.

00:07:47.846 --> 00:07:52.066
Desire is the entry point, a need, a longing, a vulnerability.

00:07:52.646 --> 00:07:58.606
Two, compromise is when corruption begins, a decision to move outside of God's instruction.

00:07:58.846 --> 00:08:03.206
Three, attachment, corruption, defense, emotional, physical,

00:08:03.226 --> 00:08:05.566
and situational entanglement.

00:08:05.966 --> 00:08:12.006
And number four, outcome, destruction, loss, harm, trauma, or even death.

00:08:12.286 --> 00:08:16.646
By the time destruction shows up, the process has already begun.

00:08:17.066 --> 00:08:20.326
Destruction is not the beginning, it is the result.

00:08:20.606 --> 00:08:26.466
As you can see that this process, desire, sin, and death. There's always a way out.

00:08:26.706 --> 00:08:31.266
And so why am I talking about this? Why does this matter? Matter,

00:08:31.406 --> 00:08:32.686
because there's no tricks.

00:08:33.046 --> 00:08:37.666
There's no tricks. If we pay attention to God, he will show you what the devil

00:08:37.666 --> 00:08:40.506
was up to. This pattern must be recognized.

00:08:40.766 --> 00:08:45.006
That's why it matters. What makes this revelation so important is this.

00:08:45.146 --> 00:08:48.926
If you only focus on the outcome, you will miss the origin.

00:08:49.246 --> 00:08:52.346
And if you miss the origin, the pattern will repeat.

00:08:52.766 --> 00:08:57.266
This is why some situations seem to come out of nowhere when in reality they

00:08:57.266 --> 00:09:00.966
have been developing beneath the surface the entire time.

00:09:01.186 --> 00:09:05.886
The enemy does not begin with destruction. He begins with subtle corruption,

00:09:06.226 --> 00:09:11.386
a compromise standard, a misaligned connection, a quiet disobedience.

00:09:11.506 --> 00:09:16.006
Because if corruption can take root, destruction will eventually follow.

00:09:16.286 --> 00:09:19.826
A call to awareness, not condemnation but clarity.

00:09:20.206 --> 00:09:23.446
This is not written to accuse. This is written to awaken.

00:09:23.851 --> 00:09:27.731
Because once you see the pattern, you gain power. Power to pause.

00:09:27.931 --> 00:09:30.591
Power to discern. Power to walk away.

00:09:30.971 --> 00:09:35.651
Power to choose differently. Before corruption becomes destruction.

00:09:35.911 --> 00:09:42.651
And this is the mercy of God. He reveals a pattern so you don't have to repeat the outcome.

00:09:42.971 --> 00:09:44.751
You are no longer powerless.

00:09:45.131 --> 00:09:49.851
This is not random. This is a pattern. And once you recognize it,

00:09:49.991 --> 00:09:55.451
you are no longer powerless against it. Facing the truth we can no longer ignore.

00:09:55.651 --> 00:09:58.751
There are some conversations we avoid because they are uncomfortable.

00:09:59.091 --> 00:10:02.351
Some patterns we ignore because they hit too close to home.

00:10:02.571 --> 00:10:07.471
And some truths we must soften because they require us to look deeper than we

00:10:07.471 --> 00:10:10.251
want to. But this is not one of those moments.

00:10:10.591 --> 00:10:14.791
This is a moment for truth. Across communities, there have been a noticeable

00:10:14.791 --> 00:10:17.611
rise in situations that seem tragic,

00:10:17.991 --> 00:10:22.691
sudden, and unexplainable, particularly involving single women who find themselves

00:10:22.691 --> 00:10:27.911
in relationships that quickly turn harmful, unstable, or even deadly.

00:10:28.131 --> 00:10:30.651
At first glance, these situations appear random.

00:10:31.091 --> 00:10:34.431
Different people, different places, different circumstances.

00:10:34.771 --> 00:10:40.111
But when you look closer, a pattern begins to emerge. Not just a natural pattern,

00:10:40.271 --> 00:10:44.431
but a spiritual one. The Word of God already warns us about this.

00:10:44.611 --> 00:10:51.651
Galatians 6, 7-8 makes it clear that life operates on the principle of sowing and reaping.

00:10:51.791 --> 00:10:56.931
Nothing we entertain, ignore, or participate in is without consequences.

00:10:57.271 --> 00:11:00.511
Every choice is a seed. Every connection is a seed.

00:11:00.831 --> 00:11:07.051
Every compromise is a seed. And over time, those seeds produce something. This is not about fear.

00:11:07.458 --> 00:11:12.058
It's not about blame, and it's not about placing responsibilities on the victim.

00:11:12.258 --> 00:11:17.978
It's about understanding spiritual patterns so that cycles can't be broken before

00:11:17.978 --> 00:11:20.178
they ever reach the final stage.

00:11:20.338 --> 00:11:25.818
Because what we often call uninspected is often something unnoticed,

00:11:25.878 --> 00:11:28.978
and what goes unnoticed often goes unchallenged.

00:11:29.118 --> 00:11:34.038
But once you see it, once you understand it, you are no longer walking blindly.

00:11:34.038 --> 00:11:41.178
You are walking with awareness, with discernment, and with the ability to choose life over destruction.

00:11:41.478 --> 00:11:45.098
The warning, real cases, real consequences.

00:11:45.498 --> 00:11:50.098
When reality confirms the pattern, there is, I got about three cases,

00:11:50.378 --> 00:11:52.798
and you probably have more if you're watching the news.

00:11:52.998 --> 00:11:58.338
Case one, a pregnant teen killed by boyfriend, March 2026 in Philadelphia.

00:11:58.898 --> 00:12:03.778
An 18-year-old woman pregnant with her second child, shot and killed by her boyfriend.

00:12:04.038 --> 00:12:08.418
Reports of abuse, jealousy, and manipulation in the relationship.

00:12:08.418 --> 00:12:13.738
This is exactly the pattern, relationship, instability, violence,

00:12:14.178 --> 00:12:16.438
and death. Case number two, a mother of three,

00:12:16.883 --> 00:12:23.363
Killed by a partner, March 2026, in Connecticut. A woman was beaten to death with a bat.

00:12:23.743 --> 00:12:29.583
Suspected murder-suicide by a partner occurred after a domestic disturbance.

00:12:29.903 --> 00:12:34.703
The pattern is ongoing conflict, escalation, and a fatal outcome.

00:12:35.043 --> 00:12:40.483
Case number three, a woman murdered after stalking relationship, 2026, in Texas.

00:12:40.923 --> 00:12:44.843
The victim went on one date with the man. He became obsessed,

00:12:44.983 --> 00:12:49.363
stalking her for months. Authorities failed to intervene and she was killed.

00:12:49.783 --> 00:12:55.383
Pattern, initial connection, obsession control, ignoring warnings, and death.

00:12:55.723 --> 00:13:00.203
Case number four, domestic relationship murder, 2026 in Australia.

00:13:00.523 --> 00:13:06.143
A woman was killed by someone she knew, charged with a domestic violence-related murder.

00:13:06.403 --> 00:13:09.783
No prior reports, but a relationship existed.

00:13:10.283 --> 00:13:14.163
Pattern, known connection, hidden issues, and fatal outcome.

00:13:14.443 --> 00:13:18.023
What is the pattern in the data? What did the evidence reveal?

00:13:18.383 --> 00:13:24.823
Pregnancy plus violent risk. A pregnant 18-year-old was killed by her partner, but we just mentioned.

00:13:24.963 --> 00:13:29.683
Other reports show pregnancy increases vulnerability in abusive relationships.

00:13:30.223 --> 00:13:33.263
Domestic violence as a leading cause of death.

00:13:33.423 --> 00:13:37.703
A significant portion of female homicides, or they call it femicide in some

00:13:37.703 --> 00:13:42.323
places, involve intimate partners. Abuse often include jealousy.

00:13:42.883 --> 00:13:46.363
Control, escalating violence, and escalating patterns.

00:13:46.823 --> 00:13:51.123
Cases include strangulation, confinement, and weapon assaults.

00:13:51.163 --> 00:13:54.483
Many involve repeated patterns before the final act.

00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.220
It doesn't start with destruction. It escalates to it.

00:13:58.540 --> 00:14:02.000
What this confirms, that this pattern is undeniable.

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:08.760
This is where this message of single life becomes real, undeniable.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.280
That these are not isolated incidents.

00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:14.080
Different cities, different people, same pattern.

00:14:14.380 --> 00:14:17.100
This is not random. This is repeated.

00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:20.520
The pattern matches the scripture exactly.

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.640
Desire, sin, and death. We are literally seeing this play out in real life.

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.740
Desire, relationship, dysfunction, corruption, death, destruction.

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.100
What the Bible reveals, life is now confirming.

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:40.340
Warning signs exist before the outcome. Across these cases, there's evidence

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.820
and reports of jealousy.

00:14:42.380 --> 00:14:48.580
Control, obsession, and violence escalation, which means the destruction was

00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:50.860
not sudden, it was developing.

00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:55.420
Recent reports across the country confirms that these situations are not isolated.

00:14:55.700 --> 00:14:57.640
Pregnant women are killed by their partners.

00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.660
Women are murdered after a brief relationship that turned obsessive.

00:15:02.140 --> 00:15:05.880
Domestic dispute escalates into deadly violence.

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.660
Even these blind dates that you meet with these guys on a dating app.

00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:14.940
There was an incident in Michigan where this lady, her first date,

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:17.400
she went on and that was her only date.

00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:23.580
She never lived to tell the story. You have to understand that these incidents are not random.

00:15:23.880 --> 00:15:29.260
This is a manifestation of a spiritual principle already outlined in scripture.

00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:35.260
The warning continues. This is not a victim blaming. I want you to make that,

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:36.380
I want to make that clear.

00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:41.760
It's not about blaming victims. This is not about placing responsibility on those who are harmed.

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:46.780
This is about exposing a pattern and identifying the true source.

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.240
Understanding the source.

00:15:48.905 --> 00:15:53.925
The word tells us in 1 Peter 5.8 to be alert and sober-minded.

00:15:54.225 --> 00:16:00.825
Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

00:16:01.105 --> 00:16:04.225
This is the enemy's pattern. He studies vulnerability.

00:16:04.925 --> 00:16:10.865
He exploits emotional openings. He uses deception, control, and manipulation.

00:16:11.305 --> 00:16:17.925
He escalates situations over time. This is not a coincidence. This is not random.

00:16:18.505 --> 00:16:21.365
This is a strategy. So what does this mean?

00:16:21.585 --> 00:16:26.045
What we are seeing is not random behavior. It's not isolated incidents.

00:16:26.225 --> 00:16:30.825
It is a pattern of targeting, deception, and gradual escalation.

00:16:31.116 --> 00:16:34.236
Because the enemy does not begin with destruction.

00:16:34.776 --> 00:16:38.436
He begins with corruption. A conversation that feels harmless.

00:16:38.676 --> 00:16:40.516
A connection that feels exciting.

00:16:40.776 --> 00:16:44.056
A situation that feels manageable until it's not.

00:16:44.336 --> 00:16:51.016
Why this must be said? Why am I doing a part two to a single message? Single message.

00:16:51.276 --> 00:16:56.876
Because this brings about clarity and not condemnation. Because without clarity,

00:16:57.036 --> 00:16:58.536
patterns remain hidden.

00:16:58.876 --> 00:17:00.756
Warning signs are overlooked.

00:17:01.116 --> 00:17:06.216
Cycles continue, and when the pattern is exposed, awareness increases,

00:17:06.736 --> 00:17:09.756
discernment sharpens, and decisions change.

00:17:09.976 --> 00:17:11.696
A spiritual reality.

00:17:12.036 --> 00:17:16.936
There is an adversary who watches for opening, moves through misalignment,

00:17:17.296 --> 00:17:18.556
operates through deception.

00:17:18.836 --> 00:17:23.096
Not everything that looks like love is safe. Not everything that feels right

00:17:23.096 --> 00:17:26.776
is from God, and this is why awareness matters.

00:17:27.616 --> 00:17:31.036
Responsibility versus blame. So let's make this clear.

00:17:31.196 --> 00:17:35.376
The responsibility for harm always belongs to the one who chooses to harm.

00:17:35.616 --> 00:17:37.256
Abuse is never justified.

00:17:37.756 --> 00:17:43.296
Violence is never excused. But awareness is still necessary because awareness

00:17:43.296 --> 00:17:45.916
helps prevent repeated patterns.

00:17:46.236 --> 00:17:50.336
This is not about blaming victims. This is about revealing patterns,

00:17:50.616 --> 00:17:56.236
recognizing warning signs, and understanding spiritual strategies so that what

00:17:56.236 --> 00:17:58.596
has been will not be repeated.

00:17:58.616 --> 00:18:00.756
It doesn't have to continue.

00:18:01.166 --> 00:18:07.866
Because there is a strategy from the enemy, there must also be a strategy for protection.

00:18:08.226 --> 00:18:10.266
What is the strategy for protection?

00:18:10.706 --> 00:18:15.906
Submission is protection. If the enemy has a strategy, then God has one too.

00:18:16.706 --> 00:18:20.566
God's strategy is not complicated, but it's often misunderstood.

00:18:21.066 --> 00:18:25.386
James 4, 7 tells us, submit yourselves then to God.

00:18:25.746 --> 00:18:30.226
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. The scripture gives a clear order.

00:18:30.226 --> 00:18:34.066
Submit to God, resist the devil, he will flee.

00:18:34.446 --> 00:18:39.066
Many try resisting without submitting and wonder why nothing changes.

00:18:39.346 --> 00:18:44.066
What submission really means? Submission is not weakness. It's not control.

00:18:44.366 --> 00:18:45.806
It's not losing yourself.

00:18:46.286 --> 00:18:51.886
Submission is alignment. It means choosing God's way over your feelings,

00:18:52.206 --> 00:18:56.966
honoring conviction over connection, obeying even when it's uncomfortable,

00:18:57.426 --> 00:19:00.886
trusting God's direction over your own desires.

00:19:01.226 --> 00:19:06.566
Submission says, God, I will follow you even when I don't fully understand.

00:19:06.906 --> 00:19:11.386
So why does submission protect you? Submission closes the door that the enemy

00:19:11.386 --> 00:19:15.826
needs access to because the enemy operates through disobedience,

00:19:16.146 --> 00:19:19.526
compromise, emotional vulnerability without discernment.

00:19:19.646 --> 00:19:24.666
And when you submit to God, your standards change, your discernment sharpens,

00:19:24.666 --> 00:19:27.966
Your decisions slow down. Your awareness increases.

00:19:28.366 --> 00:19:33.386
Submission creates spiritual boundaries. It's those boundaries you can't even see.

00:19:33.566 --> 00:19:38.546
You just know I should go home and you go home. And then you hear a story about

00:19:38.546 --> 00:19:41.046
someone who went on a date with that person

00:19:41.469 --> 00:19:46.909
and what happened. It saves your life. So when you begin to submit to God,

00:19:47.129 --> 00:19:53.229
it sets up this imaginary boundary that will protect you, but you have to pay attention.

00:19:53.389 --> 00:19:57.169
Because if you don't pay attention and you ignore that, don't go,

00:19:57.569 --> 00:20:01.669
turn up the phone, block the number, guess what happens without submission?

00:20:02.069 --> 00:20:04.929
Without submission, feeling leads decisions.

00:20:05.409 --> 00:20:10.289
Loneliness overrides wisdom, Red flags, even blaring red sirens,

00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:13.289
red sirens I say because they're police, you know, make a lot of noise,

00:20:13.409 --> 00:20:15.089
red, white, and blue, are ignored.

00:20:15.509 --> 00:20:18.909
Boundaries are lowered. And this is where corruption begins.

00:20:19.029 --> 00:20:23.869
Because once God's instruction is ignored, something else begins to lead.

00:20:24.089 --> 00:20:26.729
One of the greatest challenges in singleness is what?

00:20:27.109 --> 00:20:29.029
Submission versus emotions.

00:20:29.449 --> 00:20:35.069
Emotion can feel like confirmation, but emotion is still not always the truth.

00:20:35.069 --> 00:20:40.449
You can feel connected, drawn, excited, and seen, and still be out of alignment.

00:20:40.889 --> 00:20:44.629
Submission requires you, though, to ask, what is God saying?

00:20:44.849 --> 00:20:49.069
What is God showing me? What is God warning me about? Not just,

00:20:49.289 --> 00:20:52.129
what do I feel? Submission requires a pause.

00:20:52.449 --> 00:20:57.669
Submission often looks like slowing down, stepping back, saying no,

00:20:57.949 --> 00:21:03.269
walking away, hanging up the phone, blocking the number, taking yourself off

00:21:03.269 --> 00:21:07.069
of social media for a while, just taking a total pause.

00:21:07.504 --> 00:21:12.844
Even when you don't want to. This is where many miss it because the moment God

00:21:12.844 --> 00:21:16.024
says pause, the flesh wants to proceed.

00:21:16.444 --> 00:21:22.444
Protection and obedience. There are situations you never enter when you obey God early.

00:21:22.664 --> 00:21:27.224
There are people you never attach to when you listen for the first time.

00:21:27.464 --> 00:21:31.504
There are outcomes that you'll never experience when you honor the warning.

00:21:31.744 --> 00:21:33.564
This is where safety begins.

00:21:33.924 --> 00:21:38.224
Protection does not start in the relationship. it starts before it.

00:21:38.424 --> 00:21:42.584
It starts with submission, obedience, and discernment. Because when you are

00:21:42.584 --> 00:21:46.284
lying with God, you're not easily led into what will harm you.

00:21:46.584 --> 00:21:50.024
Submission is not a restriction. It's a protection.

00:21:50.264 --> 00:21:55.824
It's how God covers you, guides you, warns you, keeps you before corruption

00:21:55.824 --> 00:21:59.824
begins and before destruction has a chance to develop.

00:22:00.084 --> 00:22:05.424
Because once you understand submission, you begin to see something even deeper

00:22:05.424 --> 00:22:10.684
that God has already warned us about in patterns in Scripture.

00:22:10.964 --> 00:22:14.744
Scripture Foundation, God has already warned us.

00:22:14.864 --> 00:22:21.164
What we're witnessing today is not new. It may feel modern.

00:22:21.344 --> 00:22:24.424
It may look different, but the pattern itself is ancient.

00:22:24.724 --> 00:22:29.684
God has already spoken about corruption, destruction, and the consequences of

00:22:29.684 --> 00:22:31.244
misalignment throughout the scripture.

00:22:31.584 --> 00:22:35.784
This is not new information. This is a repeated warning.

00:22:36.204 --> 00:22:37.964
God is not mine.

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:43.219
The law of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6, 7 tells us, do not be deceived.

00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:47.819
God cannot be mocked. A man reapeth what he sows.

00:22:48.059 --> 00:22:52.879
This is the spiritual law. It cannot be bypassed. It cannot be avoided.

00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:56.699
It cannot be ignored. Every action produces a result.

00:22:57.019 --> 00:23:02.999
What is sown in the flesh produces corruption. What is sown in the spirit produces life.

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:08.959
This is not punishment. This is the principle. Number two, corruption through

00:23:08.959 --> 00:23:11.559
connection, the influence of relationships.

00:23:11.879 --> 00:23:19.519
1 Corinthians 15, 33, do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character. This is direct.

00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:24.819
This is very clear. Who you connect with matters, not just physically,

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.999
but spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:34.399
Connection influences your thinking, your standards, your decisions, your direction.

00:23:34.939 --> 00:23:40.419
Corruption does not always come from within. Sometimes it comes through association.

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:45.779
Number three, corruption is normalized. The peace found in Genesis, that story.

00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:50.419
2 Peter 2, 6-7 tells us about Sodom and Gomorrah.

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:55.319
God condemned Sodom and Gomorrah, making them an example of what happens when

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.579
corruption is fully embraced.

00:23:57.919 --> 00:24:04.099
This was not just about sin. It was about a culture that accepted corruption, formalizes immorality,

00:24:04.596 --> 00:24:08.616
ignored righteousness until destruction became inedible.

00:24:08.936 --> 00:24:14.056
And yet, even in that environment, God still made a way of escape for the righteous.

00:24:14.316 --> 00:24:16.396
It's never too late to turn back.

00:24:16.836 --> 00:24:21.716
Number four, when Enoch Weak builds the land, God sees what we ignore.

00:24:21.876 --> 00:24:26.296
Ezekiel 9.9, the sin of people is exceedingly great.

00:24:26.516 --> 00:24:31.936
The land is full of bloodshed and injustice. This reflects what happens when corruption spreads.

00:24:32.156 --> 00:24:36.536
Violence increases, justice decreases, life is devalued.

00:24:36.836 --> 00:24:44.936
God sees what people normalize and what becomes common to society is seen clearly by God.

00:24:45.176 --> 00:24:48.476
Number five, the result of rejection and truth is ignored.

00:24:48.696 --> 00:24:55.476
2 Thessalonians 2 verses 10 to 12 tells us that people perish because they refuse to

00:24:55.801 --> 00:25:00.261
to love the truth and be saved. This is not about lack of access.

00:25:00.501 --> 00:25:02.601
It's about rejection of the truth.

00:25:02.941 --> 00:25:06.981
Truth was available. A warning was given. Opportunity was present.

00:25:07.261 --> 00:25:11.061
But when truth is ignored, deception increases.

00:25:11.601 --> 00:25:16.941
Number six, the pattern is consistent. Across all these scriptures, one thing is clear.

00:25:17.141 --> 00:25:20.361
The pattern does not change. Corruption is introduced.

00:25:20.681 --> 00:25:26.221
It is tolerated. It becomes normalized. It produces destruction and even death.

00:25:26.381 --> 00:25:28.281
This is the same pattern we see today.

00:25:28.641 --> 00:25:32.541
God's love in the warning. And this is where we must not miss the heart of God.

00:25:32.801 --> 00:25:36.961
These scriptures are not written to condemn. They are written to warn because

00:25:36.961 --> 00:25:38.741
warning is an act of love.

00:25:38.941 --> 00:25:44.661
God does not stay silent about what destroys his people. He reveals it. He exposes it.

00:25:44.881 --> 00:25:48.681
He speaks about it so that it can be avoided.

00:25:48.981 --> 00:25:52.161
Because when you understand the word, this is why it matters,

00:25:52.261 --> 00:25:55.821
You recognize the pattern sooner. You respond quicker.

00:25:56.101 --> 00:26:02.041
You avoid what would have harmed you. The word is not just information. It's protection.

00:26:02.361 --> 00:26:05.701
God has already spoken about corruption and destruction.

00:26:05.981 --> 00:26:09.761
He has already revealed the pattern. He has already given the warning.

00:26:10.021 --> 00:26:15.161
The question is not whether God has spoken it. The question is whether we will listen.

00:26:15.361 --> 00:26:19.741
And once we hear the warning, there's only one response that leads to life.

00:26:20.101 --> 00:26:25.301
Turning, repentance, and realignment. How do we break the cycle?

00:26:25.521 --> 00:26:27.121
Healing before connection.

00:26:27.721 --> 00:26:31.941
There's a truth that must be faced with honesty. Many people do not enter relationships

00:26:31.941 --> 00:26:33.481
from a place of wholeness.

00:26:33.737 --> 00:26:37.337
But from a place of wounding. And when wounds are not healed,

00:26:37.537 --> 00:26:40.097
they do not disappear, they repeat.

00:26:40.397 --> 00:26:43.937
Unhealed patterns become repeated patterns. Without healing,

00:26:44.177 --> 00:26:48.157
people often find themselves attracted to the same type of person,

00:26:48.537 --> 00:26:52.837
entering the same type of relationship and experience the same type of outcome.

00:26:53.117 --> 00:26:58.657
Not because they desire harm, because something familiar is still operating beneath the surface.

00:26:58.837 --> 00:27:04.237
You don't always choose what is best. you often recognize what is familiar.

00:27:04.577 --> 00:27:07.057
This is not blame. This is awareness.

00:27:07.457 --> 00:27:12.837
Let this remain clear. No one deserves abuse. No one causes someone else's violence.

00:27:13.257 --> 00:27:17.817
Responsibility for harm always belongs to the one who chooses to harm.

00:27:17.977 --> 00:27:24.217
But awareness is necessary because if patterns are not addressed, they can't repeat.

00:27:24.517 --> 00:27:31.717
The need for a pause. That is why a pause between relationships is not optional. It is necessary.

00:27:31.997 --> 00:27:36.577
There must be time to reflect on what happened, identify what was overlooked,

00:27:36.977 --> 00:27:40.157
hear what was broken, rebuild standards and boundaries.

00:27:40.517 --> 00:27:45.277
Without a pause, people often move forward, still hurting, still vulnerable,

00:27:45.857 --> 00:27:47.817
still carrying the same patterns.

00:27:48.057 --> 00:27:54.737
And unknowingly, they end up with the same situation again. It was not about just abstinence.

00:27:55.357 --> 00:27:57.257
So she had a white sheet wrapped around her

00:27:57.566 --> 00:28:02.766
And she was declaring that she keeps attracting the same type of man, right?

00:28:02.926 --> 00:28:07.026
Just wrapped herself up in a she and she decided that she was not going to be

00:28:07.026 --> 00:28:08.826
sleeping with any more men, right?

00:28:09.066 --> 00:28:13.646
She said, I'm going to stop because I need to heal. And she goes into a long

00:28:13.646 --> 00:28:19.026
sermon about her story and what it means. And it was very, very powerful.

00:28:19.206 --> 00:28:24.286
But what it means is abstinence for one, but more than abstinence.

00:28:24.286 --> 00:28:27.946
This was about separating, healing, and spiritual clarity.

00:28:28.166 --> 00:28:32.246
It is a call for you to break unhealthy soul ties.

00:28:32.486 --> 00:28:36.466
Because you notice that we attract the same people. They're in a different body.

00:28:36.686 --> 00:28:39.606
They have a different name. But yet, don't matter.

00:28:39.886 --> 00:28:44.126
It seems like a pattern. So you develop an unhealthy soul tie,

00:28:44.286 --> 00:28:47.306
but yet it's like it's connected to all the wrong people, right?

00:28:47.546 --> 00:28:51.126
Stepping away from emotional entanglements. It's called for that.

00:28:51.246 --> 00:28:57.526
A call to allow God to restore identity. and a call for you to seeking God before

00:28:57.526 --> 00:28:59.486
entering any relationship.

00:28:59.846 --> 00:29:03.326
Because relationships for an out of loneliness, emotional need,

00:29:03.546 --> 00:29:09.706
unhealed trauma, desire for validation will often lead to misaligned connections.

00:29:10.046 --> 00:29:11.806
I know you heard about soul ties

00:29:11.806 --> 00:29:15.406
and emotional attachments. I want to do a little bit on that right now.

00:29:15.586 --> 00:29:21.806
When connections are formed deeply, especially outside God's order, they do not end easily.

00:29:21.806 --> 00:29:25.966
When you fornicate with someone that was meant for marriage,

00:29:26.286 --> 00:29:31.026
you create what you call a soul tie, whether you want to or not.

00:29:31.206 --> 00:29:36.446
And they can leave behind emotional attachments, patterns of thinking.

00:29:36.966 --> 00:29:39.386
Spiritual connections, and lowering standards.

00:29:39.606 --> 00:29:43.946
You become one with that person, good, bad, or ugly.

00:29:44.206 --> 00:29:48.826
You're getting some of him and you're getting some of her, right? Her, if you

00:29:49.239 --> 00:29:54.079
are a male and you are emotionally attached whether you want to or not.

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:57.879
And that's why when you break up, you have to separate for a season.

00:29:57.959 --> 00:30:03.699
You cannot fully move forward if you're still connected to what is left behind.

00:30:03.919 --> 00:30:09.299
So you see how that connection is still vital in your heart? It has to be a pause.

00:30:09.419 --> 00:30:12.159
How long is that pause? That's up to you and God.

00:30:12.459 --> 00:30:15.359
What is the hard truth? That no one is exempt.

00:30:15.877 --> 00:30:20.797
She ended up getting involved in a beautiful marriage, beautiful rings,

00:30:21.017 --> 00:30:27.817
beautiful dress, but yet that same spirit was on that man and he was very abusive to her.

00:30:28.177 --> 00:30:32.817
So even teaching this, even with understanding, even with spiritual insight,

00:30:33.237 --> 00:30:38.257
no one is automatically exempt because knowing the truth is not the same as

00:30:38.257 --> 00:30:42.697
consistently walking in it. This is why vigilance is necessary.

00:30:42.997 --> 00:30:45.977
This is why alignment must be ongoing.

00:30:46.457 --> 00:30:50.477
Healing before attachment, that's God's design for women.

00:30:50.897 --> 00:30:55.617
God's way is not. He calls for healing before connection, clarity before commitment.

00:30:56.117 --> 00:31:02.557
Discernment before attachment, because God will not rush you into what you're not ready to discern.

00:31:02.917 --> 00:31:06.517
Why does this matter? Without healing, the same cycle can repeat.

00:31:06.777 --> 00:31:10.737
The same type of connection can reappear. the same outcome can occur.

00:31:10.977 --> 00:31:14.537
But with God, remember we said the enemy goes around as a roaring lion.

00:31:14.697 --> 00:31:18.797
He knows your weakness, right? God knows your weakness too.

00:31:19.117 --> 00:31:22.737
Follow him. He'll tell you. He'll seal that up, put a boundary around you,

00:31:22.837 --> 00:31:26.837
and no one will know and hold you holy until you're married.

00:31:26.977 --> 00:31:32.997
But with God, this pattern can't be broken, right? This pause is not a punishment. It's preparation.

00:31:33.377 --> 00:31:38.537
It's really healing for you because that's why it's so people repeat relationships.

00:31:38.877 --> 00:31:43.157
They say, you can't break up with him. No, because you have a soul tie and it's

00:31:43.157 --> 00:31:47.877
so hard to break up because God meant for marriage, sex to be within marriage,

00:31:47.997 --> 00:31:50.537
and that marriage is a lifetime commitment.

00:31:50.817 --> 00:31:54.757
And when you're doing lifetime commitment activities outside of the covenant

00:31:54.757 --> 00:31:58.317
of marriage, it causes a lot of emotional damage.

00:31:58.637 --> 00:32:02.397
And that's why God said, take a pause so that healing can happen.

00:32:02.777 --> 00:32:03.957
Discernment is restored.

00:32:04.417 --> 00:32:10.217
Patterns are broken. Without it, You may change the person, but not the outcome.

00:32:10.638 --> 00:32:14.758
Now that the pattern has been revealed, now that the warning has been made clear,

00:32:14.998 --> 00:32:18.478
now that the truth has been established through both scripture and real life

00:32:18.478 --> 00:32:22.858
examples, the only one response that leads to life is repentance.

00:32:23.298 --> 00:32:27.098
What does repentance really mean? Repentance is not just saying,

00:32:27.118 --> 00:32:30.538
I'm sorry. It's not just guilt. It's not shameful.

00:32:30.958 --> 00:32:36.118
Repentance means to turn, to change direction, to change your thinking,

00:32:36.378 --> 00:32:41.698
to come out of agreement with what is wrong, what was wrong, to realign with God.

00:32:41.758 --> 00:32:46.118
It's a decision that says, I will not continue down this path.

00:32:46.398 --> 00:32:50.898
This matters because awareness without action does not produce change.

00:32:51.198 --> 00:32:54.678
You can recognize the pattern. You can even see the warning.

00:32:54.918 --> 00:33:00.338
You can understand the truth, but if nothing happens, the outcome will not change.

00:33:00.718 --> 00:33:05.818
Renouncing the world's way of relationships. There must be a clear decision

00:33:05.818 --> 00:33:10.298
to exit the agreement in line with the world's approach to relationship.

00:33:10.298 --> 00:33:15.358
This can include rushing into connections, ignoring red flags,

00:33:15.738 --> 00:33:17.858
prioritizing feelings over discernment,

00:33:18.128 --> 00:33:23.248
and seeking validation instead of alignment. Entering a relationship without healing.

00:33:23.488 --> 00:33:28.088
These patterns may feel normal, but they are not God's design.

00:33:28.328 --> 00:33:32.548
You can walk in both directions. You cannot walk in both directions.

00:33:32.808 --> 00:33:37.828
A decision must be made. You cannot seek God and ignore his instructions.

00:33:38.288 --> 00:33:43.468
Desire protection, but reject his guidance. Ask for clarity, but avoid obedience.

00:33:43.808 --> 00:33:48.548
At the same time, a decision must be made. Will I continue in what I've been

00:33:48.548 --> 00:33:51.828
doing or will I fully turn towards God?

00:33:52.068 --> 00:33:57.208
I want you to pray this prayer with me so that you can walk in alignment with what God has for you.

00:33:57.568 --> 00:34:00.948
And remember, singleness is not a punishment. It's really a blessing.

00:34:01.128 --> 00:34:07.148
You're allowing God to hold you into that and release you to that right person when the time comes.

00:34:07.488 --> 00:34:12.468
But before we do that, we have to repent and turn our heart towards God. So let's pray.

00:34:12.688 --> 00:34:16.668
Father God, you repeat after me. I come before you in humility and truth.

00:34:16.888 --> 00:34:21.008
I acknowledge the areas where I have ignored your voice, moved ahead of your

00:34:21.008 --> 00:34:27.668
timing, and choose connection over conviction. I repent, not just in words, but in direction.

00:34:27.928 --> 00:34:34.388
I turn away from every pattern, decision, and desire that has led me out of alignment with you.

00:34:34.528 --> 00:34:40.328
I renounce the world's way of relationships. I release every unhealthy attachment,

00:34:40.708 --> 00:34:46.228
every emotional tie, and every connection that is not rooted in you.

00:34:46.468 --> 00:34:48.588
Cleanse my heart. Renew my mind.

00:34:48.948 --> 00:34:52.048
Restore my discernment. Teach me to wait.

00:34:52.448 --> 00:34:57.328
Teach me to hear you clearly. Teach me to choose obedience over emotion.

00:34:57.608 --> 00:35:01.708
I submit myself to you fully, and I trust that in my submission,

00:35:01.948 --> 00:35:06.648
you will protect, guide, and keep me. In Jesus' name, amen.

00:35:06.908 --> 00:35:10.608
Let's do some decrees to solidify the prayer

00:35:10.989 --> 00:35:16.049
Repeat after me. I choose God's way over my own. I will not ignore warning signs.

00:35:16.249 --> 00:35:18.589
I will not move outside of God's timing.

00:35:18.849 --> 00:35:24.229
I will not compromise what God has shown me. I walk in discernment. I walk in obedience.

00:35:24.549 --> 00:35:30.209
I walk in alignment with God. What once led to corruption will no longer have access to me.

00:35:30.449 --> 00:35:33.929
What once led to destruction will not be my outcome.

00:35:34.109 --> 00:35:39.589
I choose life. I want you take a few minutes to just answer these questions

00:35:39.589 --> 00:35:41.229
that are just marinating you.

00:35:41.750 --> 00:35:46.750
And take that time just to be honest before God. Have I been ignoring warning

00:35:46.750 --> 00:35:48.370
signs in relationships?

00:35:48.790 --> 00:35:54.970
Have I moved forward when God told me to pause? Am I seeking connection more than I'm seeking God?

00:35:55.190 --> 00:35:58.890
Have I taken time to truly heal from past relationships?

00:35:59.270 --> 00:36:01.990
What patterns do I recognize in my choices?

00:36:02.370 --> 00:36:06.910
What is God asking me to release? What is God asking me to change?

00:36:06.910 --> 00:36:12.510
This is your moment to turn, not later, not when it feels easier, now.

00:36:12.710 --> 00:36:16.430
Because once you see the pattern, you're no longer unaware.

00:36:16.750 --> 00:36:21.330
And once you are aware, you are responsible for your response.

00:36:21.690 --> 00:36:25.850
This is not random. This is a pattern. But patterns can be broken.

00:36:25.850 --> 00:36:28.530
And today, it stops here.

00:36:28.730 --> 00:36:33.510
This was the Diary of a Black Woman podcast.

00:36:33.770 --> 00:36:38.470
I'm your host, Connie Morris. And I just hope that this message has challenged

00:36:38.470 --> 00:36:41.910
you to change, challenged you to submit to God,

00:36:42.210 --> 00:36:47.550
to hear Him, to obey what He has for you, to stay within those safety boundaries

00:36:47.550 --> 00:36:51.830
so that you won't fall into corruption and destruction.

00:36:52.190 --> 00:36:56.770
God desires that you know, that you discern, that you live a long life,

00:36:57.010 --> 00:36:59.590
that you follow a path of righteousness.

00:37:00.170 --> 00:37:03.190
And when you do that and you trust him with your whole heart,

00:37:03.590 --> 00:37:05.610
he will bring your desires to pass.

00:37:06.090 --> 00:37:11.050
But remember, there's a pause. Pause to heal. A pause to break free.

00:37:11.290 --> 00:37:15.910
A pause to look in the mirror and find out your true, true worth.

00:37:16.290 --> 00:37:18.470
That you are valuable. That you are precious.

00:37:18.910 --> 00:37:24.470
That you are marvelously made. You are worth high value, but you need to know

00:37:24.470 --> 00:37:26.110
that. That you are expensive.

00:37:26.410 --> 00:37:29.270
And that's okay to say that. You have value.

00:37:29.590 --> 00:37:32.650
And so I want to close it out, and I want to thank you for listening.

00:37:32.870 --> 00:37:38.370
And if this blessed you, share it with someone, and I'll see you on a new episode. Goodbye.

00:37:49.366 --> 00:37:53.666
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening

00:37:53.666 --> 00:37:59.446
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.

00:37:59.746 --> 00:38:02.646
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.

00:38:02.806 --> 00:38:08.106
That's why I moved everything to our new home on pod page, so you would have

00:38:08.106 --> 00:38:11.666
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,

00:38:12.006 --> 00:38:13.886
and reach out whenever you need to.

00:38:14.066 --> 00:38:18.886
If you want to leave me a message, send an email, or simply find encouragement,

00:38:18.886 --> 00:38:22.566
it's all there at diaryofablackwomanllc.com.

00:38:22.666 --> 00:38:26.746
And if this podcast has blessed you and you want to support the work I'm doing,

00:38:26.986 --> 00:38:30.606
you'll find a buy me, a coffee link on the site as well.

00:38:30.906 --> 00:38:35.006
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word

00:38:35.006 --> 00:38:38.006
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.

00:38:38.206 --> 00:38:40.906
It comes from Jeremiah 29 11 14.

00:38:41.226 --> 00:38:45.746
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and

00:38:45.746 --> 00:38:49.886
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call upon

00:38:49.886 --> 00:38:53.066
me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.

00:38:53.286 --> 00:38:56.906
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

00:38:56.906 --> 00:39:00.546
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.

00:39:00.946 --> 00:39:05.446
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one,

00:39:05.446 --> 00:39:11.426
and as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.

00:39:11.526 --> 00:39:13.986
I'm praying for you, and I'll meet you next time.
