CHURCH NOTES 8/9/26
📖 Biblical Question (BQ): Which changed your life, the words of God or the laws of God?
NEW BQ: Did Jesus desire mercy or sacrifice?
📝 Assignment: Catch the waves of pain.
📝 Assignment for Men's History Month: Don't get angry, argue, or try to prove anything to anyone, especially the women in your lives. (introduced on JLP Mon 8/3/26)
JLP NOTES 8/2 – 8/7/26
What in life do you truly love? Thoughts, emotions, misery. (JLP Thu-Fri 8/6-8/7/26)
A wall of thoughts; think pain is normal, from God. A higher intellect. (JLP Wed 8/5/26) Example: The day before, a man with a trifling wife who wouldn’t clean, married under a year, staying for the kid.
Voices piped into your head. Pay attention to the voices in your head. (JLP Tue 8/4/26)
Assignment for Men's History: Don't get angry or argue. "If—" you do this… (JLP Mon 8/3/26)
01 - Welcome, Audio issues, opening input
(0:00:00) SILENT START (NO AUDIO). (0:01:10) (white noise, still no Jesse audio) (0:02:24) Audio finally kicks on! (0:02:35) Finally! (0:03:26) Intro. (0:03:44) Welcome.
(0:04:07) Any questions? Man gives some input.
(0:04:47) Kill the baby! Make the sacrifice.
02 - Assignment: Catch the waves of pain
(0:05:32) Did the assignment? (Catch the waves of pain.) Lady: Staying with the pain. Usually her ulcerative colitis. Thoughts busy about going to destination... What did you realize? When you get anxious it heightens and adds to the stress of chronic issues. If you stay present.
(0:10:08) Sorry audience mic is on.
(0:10:56) Single mom 15 years. (0:11:18) Man next to her speaks.
(0:14:08) Alyssa Watch the waves of pain. (0:15:09) It comes from thoughts.
(0:17:00) Did you catch the waves of pain? Tell us about it. I was covering up my pain.
2B - JLP: Most don't wait for healing
(0:19:38) JLP: Most people do not wait for the healing. They act.
(0:20:19) Man (0:21:13) Existential "French" angst, dread. Anger, fear and frustration feel good to you?
(0:22:09) JLP: Anger is pain. All good and bad feelings are all painful. Man: Internally it doesn't feel that way. “I don’t feel any pain of anger, just frustration…. I don’t call it pain.”
(0:24:01) Man asked about why he's feeling it, and thinks it helped a little bit. Why did you add to the assignment? Experimented with Satan or God?
(0:25:53) What do you do when you're back into frustration and all that?
(0:26:30) JLP: Do nothing. But you’re pro-active!
2C - Become a doormat
(0:27:55) (Delay) Armenian sounding lady
(0:29:55) JLP: You want to be a doormat in all situations.
(0:32:00) What do you truly love?
2D - What do you truly love? Anger/hate in family
(0:32:43) Another: What do you truly love? … If you love your family, why do you get angry?
(0:34:22) If you love them, how is it possible to get angry at them? Disagreements. Do you have to get angry? Anger is hatred at any point. Why can't you disagree without getting angry at all? Why don’t you drop your anger?
(0:35:23) I haven't practiced that. I never saw it that way. It never came to my mind that it's actually evil coming through. With this I can see that it’s actually evil.
(0:36:40) What's good about your mother? … “I don’t know.”
2E - Back to assignment: waves of pain
(0:38:30) Back to assignment. Montreal guy has urge to resolve the pain
(0:40:17) Donyale wanted her husband to participate and benefit. Why? Just listen, Jesse. (0:41:31) What a mess. If you only knew. Monday fiery darts. MIL passed away. Family members fighting over will, attys, papers served. … walking on water
2F - Why put assignment on bath mirror for husband?
(0:44:01) Why did you put it on the bathroom mirror for your husband?
(0:49:19) ily Donyale, says Jackie
2G - Like woman bringing home a dog unannounced
(0:49:37) Man speaks broadly. From a man's perspective. A lady brings home a dog and says can we keep it? JLP: He was afraid NOT to go with it.
(0:50:52) Donyale: You guys don't know my husband…
(0:51:20) I'm so befuddled! How could that be a bad … (0:51:57) JLP: black people, we get angry, not befuddled. Befuddled is a white anger.
(0:52:23) JLP: This journey is a journey you must take alone. You cannot look out for your husband. When you truly want to overcome evil, you’re gonna look for good. You’ve got to travel this alone. You can’t want anything for your husband at all, spiritually. You’ll feel good about wanting that for him.
(0:54:38) You said you wanted him to do it. It’s not about him in this situation — it’s about you. Why did you not wait? Donyale: I didn’t think to wait. He welcomes it. JLP: Which is better for him and you? If he sought it himself?
(0:57:14) He kind of put a sticky note on my mirror when he led me to your fellowship. Well, no, he wouldn't put a sticky note.
2H - JLP: Can’t help others.
(0:57:40) JLP: Husbands and wives cannot help each other. Parents can't help adult children with. Make sense?
(0:58:54) Should I not...? I’ll ask my husband, How did you do staying present, out of your thoughts?
(0:59:51) JLP: When people wanna suffer... don't even listen to their mess! They love the thrill of telling their misery.
Donyale: I thought I was taking it alone.
(1:01:09) Donyale resisting the feedback, feeling a little something-something
2I - Women do that out of love. To control?
(1:02:04) That's what women naturally do out of love. God created them that way.
2J - See the Devil in you. Selfish. She had it all planned out! Wanting for others. Mamas.
(1:07:02) Donyale: It was selfish. My home, my sanctuary, no negative energy. Jackie was dancing around it, afraid of the devil coming out of you.
(1:09:06) Hake: "Mama" memories of stickies everywhere at home.
(1:09:59) JLP: People who want are evil people. “They just don’t want the truth.” Mother destroy. (1:12:08) God doesn't pressure us to do ANYTHING. He'll let you suffer. You ask everyone else for help but God. What the! Cafe Mocha. Now God and Jesus drink Punchie’s Coffee. … Pay attention to people who want.
(1:13:23) Young lady: So true! It’s frustrating to want for people. Such freedom.
(1:14:06) JLP: I want nothing FOR or FROM anyone. If people don’t want to be free from their evil — every human being has the life they WANT.
03 - Can't forgive parts of mother. Husband can't stand her?
(1:15:23) Did you forgive your mother? “I’m still working on that.” What does that mean? “No.” (Funny) Forgive PARTS of her? Your husband can't stand you.
(1:19:59) She's still here. … Doing to your husband what your mother did to your father.
04 - Raymond on Donyale, Biblical Question: Changed life?
(1:24:24) Hallelujah. Raymond. That woman, Donyale.
(1:25:39) JLP: The lady has already apologized. You're beating a dead horse!
(1:26:21) Biblical Question
05 - Wanting son to face his father. Stay present, don't consult with thoughts.
(1:28:10) Christina: Wanting is evil, you say. Zeke with his biological dad, doesn't want to face him. A side of me wants him to face him. What do I do? JLP: Don't be wanting him to do it.
(1:34:32) JLP: Stay present. All thoughts are all lies, all the time. Worst mistake to consult with thoughts. We can’t make decisions with thoughts, but in the Light.
(1:37:39) I wish I'd done things differently. My thoughts said leaving him out there was right. Hard, b/c I thought I was doing right. JLP: God said to pray without ceasing: Stay present. …
Don't judge yourself; just realize you were wrong. There’s no “you” to feel guilt. That’s the Devil's nature. Don't be feeling bad.
5B - Thoughts are not our friend. BQ continued: Change?
(1:40:20) JLP: Thoughts are not our friend. Thoughts will always make you make the wrong decision. Every human being thinks their thoughts are right. And they fight about it. What a mess. Stay in the Light. Can’t go wrong. You’re not in control.
Catch the wave of thoughts. Let it happen.
Practice staying present.
(1:43:10) Yes. Steve. Any Q’s?
(1:45:07) Donyale
(1:46:19) Montreal man.
06 - Man has habits, unbelief, ego, intellect (BQ: Changed?)
(1:47:22) Man hasn’t been in 5 years. BQ continued. I wanted to doxx the cops after they killed this guy. I realized I was angry. I’d be lying if I said I had connection to God. Feel like I’m floating. Super chat once. More I live the less I believe any kind of Bible. Everyone’s lying. Do we ever change? Working, showed up late. This is for new people.
He follows both words and law. But indulges in bad habits.
(1:51:29) Do you want the bad habits to disappear? I know the answer but my self does what it wants.
(1:52:50) Perfect place. Don’t judge others. Stay aware. Answers will come. Not praying.
6B - No checkmarks, wanting to be a hero
(1:54:50) All those checkmarks, do what you do, seeing it without opinion changes it. You can see! “She black,” the lady next to him. You can see the Devil.
(1:57:59) “Integrity” at work? A job you’re proud of?
(1:59:17) Do you have [slumps] like that? Don’t think I have a long way to go. Ego and vanity on job.
(2:00:26) Daughter at Home Depot. I put on an act.
(2:01:36) Intellectual people are crazy people!
(2:02:38) White man on BQ
07 - JLP on BQ: The Laws of God change you
(2:04:12) JLP on BQ
(2:06:49) Amazing Men's Forum. Do the Silent Prayer.
