CHURCH NOTES 11/16/25
📖 Biblical Question: How do you know when you’re approaching Christ?
🗓️ Women’s Forum third Thurs, Nov 20, 2025, 7pm at BOND, L.A. https://rebuildingtheman.com/events/
01 – Small talk, Welcome, Why aren’t you cold?
(0:00:00) – Start (0:00:49) Intro (0:01:15) Welcome
(0:01:35) Why don’t you get cold?
02 – No love, yet you believe in God?! (MTG turns on Trump)
(0:02:19) – No love in the Christians! How can you believe in God?
(0:04:20) MTG turning on Trump in her nosiness over Epstein, going to the enemies on CNN! She was always an enemy! Never a friend. The average person. (0:07:08) No wonder America is falling apart. There is no love. Agree? Examples? People in the room just aren’t talking.
(0:07:41) Colin: Why did they love 60 years ago? JLP: They knew to pray for one another.
(0:10:42) This woman going on CNN, talking about Trump! And she was at AFPAC! Conservative!
(0:11:26) JLP: One way you know you’re not of love, you feel something — you get angry. … YOU can not be touched. You cannot be angry.
03 – Republicans, Democrats, the same. We don’t know what’s right! Adam & Eve
(0:12:58) – JLP: I went on Pearl’s show — Pearl Davis. (To be released later) (0:13:43) (Mimi, wanna come up and sit close to the front?)
(0:14:10) JLP: A person said Republicans are better than Democrats. I said: No they’re not! They’ll turn on their own! They’re both the same! Two devils fighting… (0:14:55) Did you know we don’t know what’s right? We think we know — and we don’t.
(0:15:43) That’s why God said stay away from that tree over there (the tree of knowledge of good and evil) — people think God made pot! — Eve…
(0:18:05) Marjorie Greene is doing. Judging. See that in families. You can know the Truth, and forget about evil — and never judge again. (0:19:22) … Cunning, conniving, wicked…. Stay with it. Do not give up. Be glad when stuff happens to your ego — so you can see it and overcome it!
04 – Now she’s a victim! No such thing. No feeling sorry. There is no love.
(0:20:15) – What’s gonna happen with midterms? Georgia, they’re not gonna vote for her! Now she’s a victim! I feel sorry for the people in the Epstein files. She’s not God. We don’t have a right to feel sorry for anyone! (0:21:14) No such thing as a victim…
(0:21:43) Feedback: A man says MTG was a die-hard Trump guy. It’s like being married 50 years, and now she turns on you — the husband has mama spirit too! — Jesse cuts him off before getting into politics…
(0:22:41) The point is: There is no love.
05 – Silent Prayer: Don’t expect anything from God. Practice being present.
(0:23:29) – Children hate their parents! …
A lady talks about the bitten Apple… (0:24:47) Lady: With women… I was identifying with the Silent Prayer, expecting something incredible. She kept getting up in the night — trying to get something out of the Silent Prayer (0:26:36) JLP: Don’t expect anything from God. … I go right back to sleep after getting up in the night!
(0:29:08) The prayer is being present. Slow down so the Truth can catch up with you. Practice being present. (0:30:41) “I need the anger for motivation… to defend myself” — No you don’t!
06 – Die daily: Be aware of your ego. Finally forgave his father, shaking
(0:31:09) – SHAYAN (sp) — I’d pray in the night too. JLP: Don’t make sleep so important. (0:32:18) JLP on people stroking your ego to get something. Paul said: I die daily. Aware of what he’s saying, and the thoughts telling him why he’s saying it. Be in the frenzy, but don’t call it you. … Above all things, get an understanding. (0:33:37) I finally forgave my father for real. Shaking. Like being in a sauna too long… No… (0:35:24) “You scared me, I thought something serious happened.”
07 – Don’t mama your whipped married brother!
(0:36:46) – Woman put his ego in a frenzy. Doesn’t wanna hang out with bro with his wife/family. (0:37:45) Bro is under control of his wife. I don’t wanna give him reason to argue with his wife.
(0:38:22) Feedback: Should he be concerned about his brother’s wife fighting him? JLP: You shouldn’t be protecting him from that. (0:40:01) JLP: Don’t judge him. … Don’t argue with him about it. (He’s avoiding talking with him because of the argument in the past.) God lets you go through your hell. Don’t feel sorry or afraid. (0:42:02) Again: Don’t judge him. We all have to wake up.
(0:42:52) Love your enemy. Don’t protect your ego. Glad you dealt with your father.
08 – JLP on truth and love
(0:43:15) – JLP speaks on truth… as Shayan taps the mic… (0:45:18) Love is a state of being. God loves you. You cant imagine. The intellect hates good, hates God. Don’t hold onto anything. (0:46:13) Shayan — if I listened to one of those thoughts, I wouldn’t have gone to my dad. (0:47:10) You’ll only be of the Light.
09 – Why doesn’t God judge us? “Drunkard’s” story…
(0:47:21) – Soft-spoken man asks: Why doesn’t God judge us for not sticking with it?
10 – Drunkard’s story …
(0:48:43) – Man says he’s been working on himself… He got drunk in Halloween; “Let it go.” The Devil comes strong at night. Drunkard won’t inherit the Kingdom… (0:51:43) Do you drink tequila?
(0:54:09) JLP: Practicing being present — if you fall out of it, come back to it. The Light understands that it’s not you at all. Do you see clearly there is no you? (0:54:55) Don’t hold onto the intellect part of being “nothing.” There is a you. Don’t say you’re nothing.
… The man speaks about listening to Bible Thumper Thursday and hoping Jesse was OK
11 – Derrick “knows” he’s going to Heaven
(0:56:17) – Derrick knows he’s going to heaven… He had to stop listening to Hake filling-in on Thursday.
(0:56:57) Derrick, how you know you’re going to heaven?
(0:57:38) The man speaks…
12 – Biblical Question: How do you know when you’re approaching Christ?
(0:58:24) – What’s the BQ? Colin pipes up: Mama always tries to keep you outta heaven!
(1:00:13) He’s always been there. Only think keeping you from him is your ego. (1:00:27) Yes, ma (Colin) — I don’t think about it. (1:01:39) Hake… When you deny yourself, don’t feed your ego … (1:02:26) Christina (sp?) Let go, let God take over …
13 – Your husband is stronger?
(1:03:12) – Your husband is stronger? He’s no longer following? (1:04:32) No, you are crazy! … He looks at me and walks away. Won’t feed into it. The ego needs a reaction. When someone controls you, and can no longer. Your son looking at you like you’re crazy. (Earlier, maybe before Church stream? He told the young man Zach? That he should call them by their first names….)
14 – BQ feedback continues…
(1:05:48) – BQ feedback continues… (1:06:50) When you’re in pain? (1:07:52) Shayan: The Devil told me to skip this question. (1:08:46) Doug didn’t have an answer… When you can do the “If—” poem in full pain…
(1:09:32) Franky — never works on the BQ! …. “Don’t judge me!”
(1:10:07) When you can bear your own cross.
15 – Stay with it. You’ll be free. BQ continues…
(1:10:52) – JLP: When you stay with this, you can go anywhere and be FREE. Stay with it.
(1:11:43) Bear your cross — no one can help you with it. (1:11:57) Ghana (NOT Nigerian — I’ve been saying it wrong!) gal Anita answers the BQ
(1:12:42) JLP: Kurt, Mimi… Kurt: Losing yourself. Mimi: (1:13:09) … Matt 11: 28-30 — ”[Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.]” She counted the people who included the word pain.
(1:14:53) Randy: Idk. I think I know, but I don’t know. When you realize everything driving you isn’t you, and forgive your earthly father. I’ve felt stronger in every aspect of my life. (1:15:55) Zach: Yo. Closer to God? Have you been in the room the whole time? Mind somewhere else? Yeah. Yeah. Probably when you stop feeding into the ego.
(1:17:01) Rochelle…
16 – BQ: Man on-stage
(1:17:54) – Do you wanna come up here and tell us? Why don’t you approach Christ?
(1:19:44) Why were you so afraid? I forgave my father since then. Judging others
17 – JLP on BQ: When you bring everything unto him…
(1:21:45) – JLP: (Doug said it and didn’t know it!) When you bring all of your loneliness, sadness, fears, suicidal thoughts, desires, wants, needs — all that unto him and do nothing about it.
(1:23:47) Colin asks… (Bill adjusts the chair in the background) (1:26:13) Colin speaks more
(1:27:55) JLP makes a great point. (1:28:55) JLP: Go through it, and don’t be grumpy. (1:30:58) JLP: In closing, if you pay attention — it’s always about the past or the future.
18 – She went through hell. Devil built an army. Judgment. Falling away. Forgiveness is the key.
(1:31:53) – Questions? In the black: Christina: It feels good to be back. You’re better now for the situation? You went through it well? Went through literal hell. (1:33:55) Glad you didn’t fall for it… I had to learn how to go through it myself. (1:34:51) JLP: I don’t visit people in prison anymore. Family personal stuff…
(1:35:07) Randy: How are you better for it? (1:35:35) JLP: The Devil will always build an army against you. But he’s weak. Randy: The people you’d least expect.
(1:36:59) What do you mean: I don’t hate them, but I don’t love them. Pity.
(1:37:54) She had judgment for breakfast, lunch and dinner — and snacks. I was able to see they were controlled not by themselves. That the person was not herself.
(1:39:17) JLP: If you’re not ready to stay on this journey, don’t start it. You fall back into your own doom. Falling back into hell is much worse than leaving it.
(1:40:31) A little surprised they fell away. But Satan does not want you to get away. Fight you in your imagination. Bring you back to hell. (1:41:21) It doesn’t matter how big the army is — they are weak. I wish them well, still. Don’t start this if you’re not ready to see it through. (1:42:08) Jesse shudders: Nothing that can make me want to go back.
(1:42:33) Randy: Forgiveness is key.
19 – Mimi, live with that past. There is no past to change. It doesn’t exist anymore.
(1:43:03) – Mimi… feel sedated… (1:44:03) JLP: Do nothing about it. Be aware of the hell, but do nothing about it. Don’t drink tequila. (1:44:40) Mimi: Don’t wanna cry. (1:44:56) Will you live with that past? She cries.
(1:46:25) JLP: There is no past to change. It doesn’t exist anymore. (1:47:06) You have no past. The world — they’re children of the Devil. (1:47:40) Man asks… You take that to Christ, and you drop it.
20 – “Mama” Colin: I enjoy seeing my ego now.
(1:47:54) – Colin learned not to be a mama. Mama had to tell him! Haha Colin don’t wanna argue with the Devil. But then he argues. (1:48:47) How were you helped? Reinforces everything. I get joy out of seeing my ego. (1:49:56) JLP: He’s right. It’ll become fun working on yourself.
21 – Adriana on “happy” Costa Rica. Showing love to mother
(1:50:19) – Adriana … (1:50:47) Costa Rica supposedly “happy” — ”pura vida,” pure life. But extreme passive-aggressiveness. People don’t confront things or deal with their problems. Lend money, and nicely ask for it back a few times, then they drop it. Everything’s falling to S-H-_-_ … People don’t stand up. People who are weak. Immigrants take advantage of them.
(1:53:10) JLP: You’ll see that more and more — vampires. (1:53:45) She’d forgiven her mother. Dealing with family business. She didn’t hold back with her mother — at peace.
22 – Show love to your brother. Fear lies to you.
(1:54:55) – JLP: It’s like Shayan (sp) with his brother: Throw a little truth out there, but don’t judge him. (1:55:30) Shayan: Sometimes it feels he’s reaching out a little. Don’t shut him down. JLP brings up “mama” Colin again. (1:56:51) How could you tell?
(1:57:29) JLP: It doesn’t go the way your fear tells you.
(1:58:33) Lady: Don’t tell God about your fear and problems — tell your fear and problems about God. She speaks on the family: I went through the same thing. Same thing. Same thing! (1:59:58) When you lose family and friends, know they were never real. Illusion.
(2:00:13) Randy: Bro could be crying for help. (2:00:37) JLP: Family member secretly calls me — hates his wife. He tells other family to shut up about Jesse. He whispers around his wife though. He never tells his wife the truth unless he’s REAL mad.
23 – Closing
(2:01:37) – JLP closing: there is the truth.
