Stay in the light, and you can die away from thoughts. To have a life, you must lay down this false life of identities. Is there always cause and effect?

CHURCH NOTES 8/24/25 

 📖 Biblical Question:  Do you believe in the Bible or in Jesus?  

 📖 How have you treated yourself all your life?  

Small talk / Welcome 

(0:00:00) A few minutes of small talk before Church (0:03:49) Welcome 

1 Reflecting: Demonic thoughts.  

(0:04:14) Reflecting after Women’s Forum, radio show conversations… people don’t believe all thoughts are all lies, all the time. You call it you. You think you are the thoughts. You’re so identified with them, not knowing they’re not you — they’re demonic. They’re evil. (0:06:35) If you woke up and saw you were evil… 

(0:08:19) A false sense of life. It makes you think you exist. God said to bring all thoughts into captivity… You become a “lawyer.” Or you say, “I’m weak,” and act weak! Or you try really hard to stay strong, not knowing they’re evil spirits in your mind and emotions. 

(0:10:51) The preachers have you thinking, “I’m a sinner. Need to get saved!” … But God told you otherwise… 

(0:14:15) Why do you care what people call you? You believe in identities… 

(0:15:04) It’s crazy that you think about God. In Him there is no thinking. It’s a knowing. But you’ve heard about God. So then you think about him, and judge other people over it. You have a false morality. (0:15:57) Nobody’s moral, not even the pope! You’ve been lied to. Let all identities go right now. 

(0:16:39) Afraid to come on-stage. You’re worshiping demons, repeating the thoughts. And you think God is holding something against you. Can you get any crazier than that? You treat others the way you think God treats you. 

2 Ever felt guilty? Only stupid people feel guilty 

(0:17:37) Ever felt guilty? One gal… (0:18:03) Only stupid people feel guilty! Why feel guilty about anything? (0:19:03) … guilty, in darkness… beating my wife, false identities. 

(0:21:10) And then you cry. … 

(0:21:47) People love doing things for others. “I’m a giver.” Women got that bad! “You won’t help me?” Now you mad! If it was real… (0:22:41) Remember: All thoughts evil and destructive … Crying, lying. 

(0:23:55) If God walked in, you wouldn’t recognize him. If he’s Jewish, they’ll be bad! Or white. Or black! 

(0:24:42) Come to the light. It will grow…. Real life is not making decisions, or saying, “What if?” Don’t be double-minded. You’ve never made a decision, and never will! 

(0:26:16) Ohh, Date her! (0:26:56) She’s a Christian! (0:28:54) Come as you are. into the light. … (0:30:11) More… (0:30:37) It’s like women! She set you up to tell everything! (0:31:34) What sense does it make to be angry? 

3 How dumb to be heartbroken  

(0:32:28) Alexis: Thoughts produce thoughts … Don’t add to it. (0:33:32) JLP: See you get angry, don’t add to it. You give it life. Alexis: Enough to know, to see it. 

(0:34:15) JLP: Ever been heartbroken? … What was wrong with you that you were heartbroken? Another thing — think how dumb! (0:35:30) If you find yourself crying, just know you’re stupid! … Don’t you feel stupid right now? If you’re free, people can come or go. Alexis speaks… She made them a god. 

(0:37:40) JLP: I did not stop crying over breakups until I forgave my mother! … I thought I couldn’t live without it. Made her my god. 

4 World trying to destroy “you.” Let identities go. 

(0:39:11) Hassan done it a lot. All thoughts are lies. Letting go of everything. 

JLP… (0:40:48) The world wants you to have identities. Let go of all your identities. Why not be free? Your thoughts are not your own. (0:41:56) There’s no you to destroy — if you care the world’s trying to destroy you, you’re not going to make it. Because you think there’s a you, or a reputation to destroy! You’re not a guilty sinner. Another false identity. 

(0:43:35) In fear and trembling, relax into the identities, do nothing about them. Live with them. The darkness will depart, become homeless, and live on Pico Blvd. All thoughts are demons. 

(0:44:22) Kayla (sp) moving to L.A. in fear. JLP: Never think “what it”… (0:45:15) A double-minded person is unstable in all his ways. (0:45:38) She’s afraid of quitting, finding another job. 

(0:46:36) Marissa (sp) a symbiotic relationship with thoughts. Loves that she’s reminded to keep observing. (0:47:57) JLP… More from her. (0:49:36) You’re not wrong for having nothing to say. 

(0:50:28) Man next to Hassan: Believes he forgave mother and father. She started crying, Nice. He embraced her and she said she forgives him too. She’s dead now. (0:52:22) Thoughts direct your life right into hell! Nervous… (0:53:11) He comes on-stage… (0:54:11) He felt fear of the opinions of others… 

5 She’s uncomfortable… Facts vs truth 

(0:55:36) The young lady in the shades is uncomfortable and does not want to come on-stage. (0:56:34) Who are you? … What is it like living a life of fear right now? I just want to observe? Figure it out. (0:58:52) Who are you? … I know I’m a child of God. I believe in God. (1:00:22) JLP: Hold on a minute. Yeah, he said come on up! 

(1:00:54) Truth and facts on the radio: Mimi didn’t know! (1:01:12) JLP: Fact: All people live in their thoughts. Truth: They’ll never overcome until they see that it’s not them. https://www.youtube.com/live/9zuB4QC95No?t=1457s 

(1:02:13) Mimi on thoughts — and “this week was a mess” … (1:04:17) JLP: A person working on themselves doesn’t think they’re working on themselves. That’s thinking. WHAT A DUMMY! “Don’t call me a dummy.” Meltdown … right or wrong box 

(1:05:58) JLP: “I thought I was working on myself.” Then you’re not! If you never thought of yourself as lonely, could you ever be lonely? You gotta stop thinking. 

(1:07:08) Mimi: Not thinking feels so uncomfortable. 

(1:08:06) Alexis responds about thinking… 

6 Stay in your hell! What if you stopped thinking? 

(1:08:42) Zoning out, man hasn’t forgiven his mother. Love your hell? “Yes.” 

(1:10:45) JLP: Leave people in their hell! Don’t judge them. Don’t try to save them! 

(1:11:48) I don’t feel amazing, says the man. JLP: Isn’t it amazing people love their hell? 

(1:12:39) What if I stopped thinking? Mimi’s question — another man responds. What should she hold onto? Are you confident? (1:14:09) My ego. (1:16:49) … “In theory.” (1:17:25) As you’re talking about crashing, do you see yourself crashing? It’s all in the mind. 

(1:17:57) Young lady in the green… (1:19:22) Englishman! Comment allez-vous? “Merci”… 

(1:20:12) Another gal … (1:21:45) I would just be a cloud! 

7 What should she hold onto? Thoughts never gonna stop? 

(1:22:34) What should she hold onto? Nothing! Why not? You wanna be free, Mimi! She’s afraid she’ll float away. (1:23:32) Mother whispered, I think we’d start living! “You think I’m a beta now, huh?” 

Another man responds. (1:24:33) What should she do? Let go of her thoughts. 

Mimi goes off on thoughts staying with you. (1:25:48) What are we talking about with “stop thinking?” 

(1:26:33) Back to the man: She’s lost. 

(1:27:03) JLP: God said stay away from imagination, bring all these thoughts into captivity. Young man in the white shirt. Waiting for lunch. I try not to live in the past, or have a victim mentality, keep busy, sports, reading, living in the present. JLP: Thoughts aren’t supposed to come back! 

(1:29:08) First-timer Allen (sp) thanks Jesse. 30 mins away from here. 

(1:29:47) Kayla (sp) once thoughts stop is what’s in front of you. (1:30:11) Another gal before crying looked at the physical things in the present around her. 

(1:31:33) Shayan thinks Mimi’s afraid of the pain. She wants the pamper. Stop being afraid of the pain. 

(1:32:14) Another man (Josh in GA) (1:33:36) The Nigerian gal: Thoughts are devils talking. 

8 To have a life, lay down a life 

(1:35:15) Man: Feel it… JLP… 100-percent (1:36:01) Who gonna float away? This illusion gonna disappear! To have a life, lay down a life. It’s another thought that you’ll float away. 

(1:37:33) A man: I’ve been cheating on God, seeking answers using AI. My soul is playing with the Devil. 

(1:39:02) Asian guy says the truth is working 24/7 too — just like the thoughts feel like they’ll never go away. 

9 No one who puts his hand to the plow… 

(1:40:09) The plow? … Luke 9: 62 is Jesus’ declaration, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” (1:40:38) JLP follows-up with a warning. 

(1:41:22) JLP: Stay with this. (1:42:35) You’ll be like those lost religious people (Allahu Akbar, Catholic, Christian, Jewish). You can have perfect peace, but you (the false you) must die. Get over your blackness, whiteness, Jewishness. God said: Worship me in Spirit. Not in Christianity, or with words. Die from what you think you know. Forget about God. 

(1:44:05) JLP: Thoughts are lies… (1:45:01) Thoughts, Demons — insecurity. 

10 Always cause and effect? 

(1:45:25) Man says there’s cause and effect — your boss has a meeting with you. 

(1:47:46) “Young man” agrees generally with cause and effect, even in relationships… 

(1:49:15) Tim speaks… (1:50:35) A black man responds… 

(1:51:31) Hake… (1:52:03) Young black man: uhhhh, yeah? Every action has a reaction. What would happen if you didn’t react? 

(1:53:02) Man says philosophical questions is a distraction. No one really cares. Opinions. What’s a philosophical question? No questions, but I believe that thoughts are evil. You wore that shirt. 

11 Abnormal to overreact to anything. 

(1:54:14) JLP: The only reason there’s an effect — it’s abnormal to overreact to anything. (1:55:08) Reacting because you think it’s happening to you, and it’s not. Christ said: Give up a life to have a life. Stop fighting. Give up the false self. … Silent Prayer …
