CHURCH NOTES
👨🏾🦲 What keeps you connected to the world?
📖 Biblical Question (BQ): Do you love America? How do you know?
📖 NEW BQ: Are you violating God's laws?
📜 John 16: 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
01 - Intro: Story on dogs/owners, discussion
(0:00:00) Small talk off-mic about dogs, including a man's dog in Mexico.
(0:01:22) Welcome. Jesse recounts a dog cremation crime
(0:04:15) Recounting the victim impact statement of a lady wondering what the dog was thinking...
(0:05:19) Does that make sense? Thoughts? A lady talks: They treat dogs better than family members. The dog is taking its owner for a walk.
(0:07:22) How you're eating hair. I'm gonna have to call the President. A man say you should claim the dog as a dependent. You have to register and get a license. The government making money!
02 - Praying, Laying hands on the sick?
(0:08:10) The Mexican man with the thick accent: Praying for somebody? How do you pray for someone's health? Wishing them well: Let God's will be done. You don't know their situation. We don't know what to pray for for ourselves, much less others. … Laying on of hands?
(0:09:40) I used the cross because I didn't want the spirit to go into me. If someone asked me to do it? I'm helping my uncle with health issues. If you want, you can, although I don’t recommend it.
(0:10:57) Raymond on the dogs: They use dogs as a form of escape.
(0:11:42) Sam (I believe) asks about the movie Fallen with Denzel Washington (1998) about a demon going by touch.
03 - What keeps you connected to the world? John 16: 33
(0:12:32) Raymond: John 16: 33 pull it up.
(0:12:43) My question: What keeps you connected to the world? (0:13:28) Sam heard it on the show: Worry, concerns, things from the future. Why do you worry?
(0:15:11) Do you believe you can overcome the world? (0:16:18) Randy is talking....
(0:16:32) Raymond reads John 16: 33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(0:17:01) Man: Thoughts, same as he said. Why what he said? (0:18:22) Jackie is talking. (0:18:44) Another young lady
3B - No righteous anger. Ephesians 4: 31
(0:20:03) Daniel: You've overcome? To some degree... Linda Lee Tarver: Be angry and sin not. Ephesians 4: 26, but five verses later it says let go of wrath, anger. It's literally five verses later!
Ephesians 4: 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Ephesians 4: 31 ESV
(0:22:34) Jason is talking (0:25:20) Do you know there is no you? When you're mad, YOU'RE not mad?
3C - JLP: Thoughts connect you to the world.
(0:25:35) JLP: Thoughts connect you to the world. If you stopped thinking, it'd be over, just like that. You won't be affected by the world AT ALL.
(0:27:13) If you never said "I'm lonely" — Jesse subtly references "Another Saturday Night" by Sam Cooke lyrics ("just got paid") ... If you stay with it, overcome thoughts and words. You'll see all your life, nothing ever happened to you at all. You've not gone through anything.
(0:28:10) I've been through a lot! We all think we have. "I've been through hell and back." Emotions say this is happening to ME. Or you thought you were hurting others. But it was just a thought. And that's crazy to me, it's just a thought! Total illusion! Christ overcame illusions.
(0:29:13) When you pray for people, you can't WANT for them to be better. You're wanting something THEY don't want. They'll turn on you! Wish everybody well.
(0:30:27) Addressing Jason when he gets mad at his folks or whatever, "I am stupid," a false identity. Stop thinking about you, the "I," YOU won't exist anymore. Amazing way to live. Right way to live. Give it up. The world do not want to overcome. Don’t impose this on anyone.
3D - Men's fear of women
(0:31:45) JLP: I'm talking about everybody in this room. Men are afraid to correct their wives.
(0:33:06) Go to Hake, but another man: No I'm not afraid of women. We don't wanna be promoting anyone. What the! But he noticed… 3-percent man? 100 percent man! (0:34:15) Forgive mother?
(0:34:35) Young lady Jackie, when you see men afraid of you, what goes through your mind?
(0:35:17) Hake on separating kids who can’t get along, and men and women breaking up and getting back together — a caller this week (maybe Friday even, or Thurs perhaps) talking about exes getting in touch with him. Why would you have ANY kind of relationship with your exes at all? Devil says: “She’s gotten better now.” Or, “I’ve overcome now.” Thoughts and emotions pull you back in, like inviting demons back into your home.
(0:37:11) It doesn't feel right, it feels opposite, upside-down, when a man is afraid of a woman. … They think they're God!
(0:39:19) What would you do if you had a girlfriend, and you were afraid. I know the setup. (0:40:00) JLP: A thought tells them not to speak up to the woman in the right way. "She's gonna leave you." Or whatever. You'd be able to speak up if you didn't have those thoughts.
(0:40:35) Is that why "Rebuilding the Man" (BOND motto) started. Jesse says black men complained about the white man. They hated their mothers.
04 - I think my husband's afraid of me
(0:41:42) Dolores' husband said something that leads her to think he's afraid of her. What da! What a Nicaragua! It hurt my ego: I don’t wanna make him feel like that. “I just try to stay out of your way.” That’s fear. That told me a lot. It hurt to hear it. I thought I was letting go of that.
(0:43:34) When you thought that, did you already know?
(0:44:10) Again: Did you know you were making him feel that way? I can't hear you. I was getting a little bit of a thrill out of it, she says. I’m so thankful he said it. An honest conversation. I realize — she breaks down — I don’t wanna make him feel like that. I must love him, I care for my husband.
(0:45:37) His words let me know I'm not hiding it and not fooling anybody.
(0:46:30) I told him I'm glad he told me, it's hurting, and I wanna sit with it. Hurting my ego, the not me… we’re not fooling each other. I had …
4B - Stay present: Don't try to make it work.
(0:48:24) JLP is talking: It's gonna work when you stop trying to make it work. You gotta stay present.
(0:50:13) I went into my imagination, she says, when he told me that. JLP: The shock of it, if you’d have stayed present… the Devil told you, Look what you’ve done.
(0:51:22) JLP: If you were present, you might have said, You can't blame me for the way you feel. Now you feel like you gotta do something now. Instead of, I gotta stay present. She talks more…
(0:52:46) JLP: You can't have a plan how you wanna react or be. You just need to be present. That shock made you feel like you gotta do something. YOU’VE never done anything to him.
(0:54:31) JLP: If you'd have thought I'm so wicked. I couldn't see. In my darkness I did that. You don't say, I'm gonna make it up in some way. As you're waking up, you'll be shocked what you've done to other people. You won’t believe you’ve judged another person!
(0:55:41) Jesse rattles off the hundreds of trillions and billions and thousands of demons in you... The woman tells herself she has nothing against her husband, but another person tells you something else about herself. You put your foot in your mouth. The monks don’t say anything.
(0:57:55) JLP talking about how people talk about stupid stuff. At this point Jesse says even the news is boring. You'll see the game in that: Bad news to control you. Stay present. Don’t try to change it. The light will change it.
4C - This is the hospital, it's OK. // Not responsible for others.
(0:58:37) JLP: That’s OK, this is the hospital. You can cry in the mental ward, we know you crazy. (0:58:56) Ohh. There's Mimi....
(0:59:25) Jackie
(1:00:37) Should she take accountability for hurting others? Even when she knows she's doing it? Jackie tries to explain: Man says no. To each his own. Let it go, let it be. Jackie says that was not my intention when people tell her things about herself. She tries to make others feel better about themselves. She has a sensitive friend. Hurt my feelings when you told that joke, and now she feels bad. Even if you're trying to be cruel, you're not responsible.
(1:02:51) Who's Dolores? Mama… Jackie asks: What are you supposed to do?
(1:03:38) JLP: Husband and wife are not responsible for each others' spiritual life.
4D - What should a man do if he’s afraid? Overcome thoughts
(1:05:21) What do you think about men who are afraid of women? Randy: Taught from a young age. Example. Anger causes you to become what you hate.
(1:07:05) What should a man do if he’s afraid of his wife? Forgive his mom, face the pain. Correct with NO anger. Even if perfect love she’ll still go off.
(1:08:50) JLP: Controlled by thoughts.
(1:10:07) Anyone say I’m seeking God? Who is seeking God?
4E - Ladies on thoughts' deception
(1:10:40) Big boss young lady (Sha)
(1:13:36) JLP: You don't know the depths of how lost you are trying to get respect, thinking you're doing the right thing … You can’t make yourself see this.
(1:15:46) JLP: Don't listen to the Devil in your head, or others' head … It must be because you’re black, or you’re female.
(1:16:44) How does it feel not to be a big dog?
(1:17:10) Young lady watching it — last week she was dealing with something difficult. All happening in her head. Some tears. DIdn't do anything about it. JLP: It’s a rough journey. Demons won’t wanna let go. Let it happen anyway. It's a shadow following me.
(1:19:14) Mimi, update us on how you’re doing. (1:20:51) My appetites for thrills... never thought I was a victim, but the way I talked about myself. Thrills very evil. I've learned to stop it for now.
(1:22:46) You don't think you're DEI anymore? I really did say that, Mimi said. Funny…
(1:23:53) Mimi to Randy's comment on women going off when a man corrects her. There are women who are working on themselves, I want to believe.
(1:24:45) JLP: No, don't support them! You can't support this journey. The truth is there are women working on themselves and don’t push back… You ever seen one? Talk to Dolores… I understand your point, but…
4D - Women on earth to make men stronger? Dealing with grief
(1:25:57) Young man thinks it's beautiful when women push back, poke at weaknesses so you can confront them. Women put on earth to make men stronger? Then they wanna marry you and then kill you. They weren’t put on Earth for that reason, Jesse says. Christ came for that, buddy! A lot of grief —
(1:27:49) Grief making me unglued. I don’t know how to handle it. 5-6 people in my family dying or in the hospital in a month.
(1:30:11) JLP on his family members dying a lot at one point. Wait till summer!
05 - Biblical Question: Do you love America? How do you know?

(1:36:17) RIP Lindsey Graham, he loved war and death, are you joking? What a mess! No, I don’t love America — the system is corrupted, and I don’t love that. What is the system? (1:37:20) I'm surprised he said no! Don't say what she want you to say! “I just wish it was better. Me? Make America great again? Idk how to do that, myself.” Why don’t you get in there and figure it out?
(1:38:06) Mexican man: Idk. These are your people! Jesse jokes to Alexis
(1:38:37) Korean man Eric: Yes. Problems but it doesn’t represent the true America
(1:39:04) Sam: Yes
(1:39:46) Sha: I have a lot of pride. First I wanna know…. “How can you really have love for a place?” … Is that a question?
5B - BQ continued: What do you think of people who don’t love America?
(1:42:58) Randy … What do you think of people who don’t love America? Kind of like not loving God…

(1:47:43) Young man visiting from Texas
(1:48:52) Jackie: to quote Hulk Hogan, Hell yeah, brother. Scares me the changes. I miss the America I grew up in, but I love it here.
(1:49:42) Nick: It’s my home. Alexis is confused, don’t judge her. Lol
(1:50:19) Alexis: It's the jet lag…
5C - Alexis on anger in sister's family. More BQ feedback

(1:53:31) Back to BQ: Man
(1:53:56) Since Hake didn't do a good job… Another white man says NO! (1:54:30) The man continues… (1:55:23) Do you love white people? All people?
(1:55:49) Are you white? Another man... I guess. A man agreeing about “economic zone, possible collapse”
(1:56:28) Kurt without hesitation …
(1:56:58) Daniel loves America — wants to make Colombia like it.
5D - JLP on BQ: All my life I have loved America
(1:57:24) JLP on BQ: All my life even as a kid I have loved America. Not because of my school teachers — they weren’t saying bad things about America. I was happy to be here.
(1:59:23) I have no judgment of it. It seems like a gift from God.
(2:00:25) Progress explained
(2:02:14) Sha … I’d love it if everybody was on the same page.
(2:03:45) Franky talking… kind of an idea.
(2:04:33) Am I crazy? White man responds. A sense of optimism unrivaled in this country.
(2:05:26) Young lady
5E - What if we're all puppets
(2:06:17) She says what if we're puppets of another country — but I'm not political at all. We’re owned by somebody else. (2:06:52) JLP air-quotes: Let's say America is controlled by — Air Quotes.... Why would that affect YOU?
(2:08:07) Mimi …
5F - Chew your food
(2:08:57) You know what I wanna tell you? Last time you said you eat a lot? I have advice for you if you do. It comes and goes. Chew your food for 29 times before swallowing. 30-40 times. Eating to remember instead of going unconscious with food. Take your time when chewing…
(2:09:54) Mimi back on we as Americans
(2:10:22) Hake: We white men except for Kurt: angry, defeated, conned out of our own country by our own selves.
