CHURCH NOTES 1/18/26
📖 Biblical Question: What is the greatest display of power?
Great Women’s Forum, ladies!
Revelation 2: 9 and Revelation 3: 9 — people like to use these verses to blame the Jews
Revelation 2 KJV – Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus – Bible Gateway
Revelation 3 KJV – And unto the angel of the church in – Bible Gateway
🚫 NOT(?) NEW Biblical Question: Do you believe you are perfect or imperfect?
00 – Small Talk, Welcome
(0:00:00) – Small talk… (0:02:40) Intro (0:03:19) Welcome. Be quiet, Raymond — I didn’t know it was going to be a long story!
1A – BQ: Greatest Display of Power?
(0:04:00) – Biblical Question: Greatest display of power? … (0:05:33) Raymond. (0:06:17) Andrew (0:07:28) Shayan: Surrender (0:08:09) Kurt: God …
1B – BQ… Self-control
(0:08:34) – Doubting yourself? Why you laughing? Amazin’… Man: Self control: Stop being so reactive … L.A. traffic, rude people
2A – Southern gal: Being a doormat? When to speak up
(0:11:36) – Miss Alabama: Doormat? (0:12:51) Questions? When to speak up? When you’re not angry. Aware of it, you’re separated from it. (0:13:43) Makes perfect sense. Don’t take anything personally. You’ll find out nothing’s happening to you.
2B – Bad attitude with God! Ex-bf more successful than me
(0:14:02) – Don’t hate your boyfriend anymore? Ex-boyfriend makes more money than you. Bad attitude with God, and he didn’t say anything!
(0:16:11) JLP: Not realizing you’re worse than the person you’re judging. God gave this awful person…
2C – Story: “Daddy/Mama gonna miss you.” Separation anxiety. Child molester isn’t worse.
(0:16:42) – JLP story: person overcoming being a slutmaker … single father. Don’t say, daddy gonna miss you. 3yo girl feels responsible for the mother’s feelings.
(0:19:46) Worse is a child molester! No, it’s not. Same spirit. The spirit of evil. Judgmental people judge their thing as not as bad, but others as really bad! Evil is evil, wicked, and nothing good about being evil.
(0:21:04) A lonely person is an evil person. A sad person. Someone who tries to make others feel good. Don’t be mad at God. “I put myself in time out.”
(0:22:30) Stupid to be angry. Right? Y’all here?
03 – Doormat scenarios? Female coworker… (Is God a man?)
(0:23:14) – Shayan has two scenarios… Two men, the rest women, at his work.
(0:24:32) Jumped up, got irritated at myself
(0:26:30) Is God a man?
04 – Windmill story: Look on the inside of yourself
(0:27:37) – JLP story about the windmill stopping. (0:30:15) JLP: All of your issues are inside you. (0:31:20) You’ll see ALL of your troubles are an illusion.
05 – Mama stories: Bald men. I act fake with patients.
(0:32:44) – Shayan remembers his question. Trauma from mother, memories during prayer. (0:33:39) Silly example as a little boy: “Can’t stand bald men!”
(0:35:41) I get fake with patience, mama… (0:36:32) Red meat: You and RFK can go over there. (0:36:46) JLP: As long as you’re of love and not hate, just do the job, they’ll come back. Or someone else God will send to you. He will take care of you.
6A – Q: How was Jesus able to heal? You are divided?
(0:38:15) – JLP Q: How was Jesus able to heal people? (Hey, man! Glad I wasn’t talking about you!) (0:38:57) Raymond. (0:39:10) JLP: Nobody doing it. Churches lying. (0:39:37) Hassan … (0:40:17) I see you passing out water bottles over the phone every day. A way of healing.
(0:40:52) Has anyone noticed you are divided? What does that mean? Alex answers. (0:41:51) Notice your divided? Raymond. (0:42:22) Colin
6B – JLP: Jesus never saw them as sick. Their thinking made them sick.
(0:42:32) – JLP: Divided when you identified with the mind, the thoughts. Go left and right, not the straight and narrow. Jesus healed because he never saw them as being sick. The thought told them they were sick. Thinking affects the body. (0:44:34) God said your thoughts are not my thoughts, your ways not my ways… (0:46:43) …. It’s all in the mind.
6C – How to love what’s right? Stay present.
(0:47:26) – Andrew: How do you love what’s right? JLP: Stay present. When the first thought comes, catch it. Emotions won’t come. (0:48:53) All thoughts will disappear, and there will be no more thinking. Live without thinking. It’s amazing. All your life you had the wrong idea about yourself.
6D – Daughter stuck with mother. Thoughts keep you controlled by guilt.
(0:49:51) – Story: Lady arguing with the mother who’s staying with them. I got my own life! I’m your mother! Staying there, brought the other sister who’s a slut! The sister is too weak to throw her mother out!
(0:51:15) Practical thoughts… Give up thinking! Surprised the power given you by God.
07 – Healing, medication, getting sick: Mind of God traded for mind of Satan
(0:51:59) – Dolores asking about healing… (0:53:04) JLP: That ol’ preacher told him not to take it! The less you think about being sick the less you’ll become sick.
(0:54:14) Dolores takes meds… hasn’t gotten a cold in about 4 years! (0:55:02) JLP: I personally believe if a person is terminally ill, the whole body can be healed even from that. (0:55:30) Crohn’s disease guy … Hospice explanation. (0:56:21) Friend died from sickle cell. Oh, man… If he were to come out of the thoughts, healing is possible.
(0:56:55) We have the mind of God, except we traded it over for the mind of Satan.
8A – Eternity is right now, forever. Time an illusion.
(0:57:28) – How you doing, man? Time versus eternity? (0:59:17) The body will disappear, but you will never. (0:59:59) Christ knew… you will become whole. You are divided only in the mind. There’s only you.
8B – Silent Prayer? Love suffering? Why do I choose my misery?
(1:01:08) – Silent Prayer … (1:02:12) He’ll let you suffer. Pray without ceasing. Love your thrills of suffering? (1:02:45) I guess I love it. If you didn’t love it you’d let it go and be healed from it. He won’t take your love (of suffering) away from you.
(1:04:48) Do you think God wants you to trust Him? Probably be nice for Him. (1:06:07) You walked from him… (1:08:34) Love misery? Only conclusion. I don’t get it though. (1:09:22) What do you need to understand about it? Why do I still choose my hell if I don’t like it. But you do like it. My actions reveal that. It’s a secret to me.
8C – Advice?
(1:11:01) – He saw your halo. Advice from young lady…? Be a double-person — divided. (1:12:09) How will he overcome not liking the hell?
(1:13:46) Marissa doesn’t want to doom scroll so much. … ok bet.
(1:16:06) Alex … cried out to God…
8D – Do you love yourself? Then why do you suffer? Do you talk to your sister?
(1:18:35) – Do you love yourself? … Yes. Why do you suffer?
(1:19:41) The other gal: Yes, I’m trying. I believe a lie sometimes. (1:20:31) Do you and your sister talk about these things? No. Why not? (1:21:48) My ego, she’s my lil sister, ugh. Jealous she’s waking up and you’re still struggling? Talk to her! Hard to be serious. Showcase personality being a comedienne. Daughter of God right with you. Who she think she is!
09 – Lady in a wheelchair. The world changed. Drop your anger. Forgive mother.
(1:23:02) – Lady in wheelchair… Love yourself? Not the world I used to know. (1:24:00) – How old are you? Mmm. Let’s say 80-something. Let’s say 89. Ohh, not that old!
(1:24:50) JLP: Love yourself. Drop your anger. “You are so right.”
(1:25:35) Mother screwed you up. Everybody say dad, but nobody say mother. You are right! Mother couldn’t help herself. Mean, nasty, judgmental. Fake, I love everybody. Just lyin’. Get serious. “I don’t have a whole lot of time.” Be grateful. She had no love, her mother screwed her up. Forgive her so God can forgive you.
(1:26:57) Resented father too? Ohh, yes. Thought mother was always right. Why resent him? He wanted to be dominant. He’s supposed to be. Father did nothing to me! Why hate him? He didn’t love enough.
Forgive mother, she was wicked. Then you’ll love yourself. (1:28:40) Then you can stop pretending … Silent Prayer…
(1:29:53) Perfect peace before you die. 80-something. “You keep talking about that.” (1:30:23) To Him, there’s no age. You’re still God’s baby daughter.
10 – “Self-love,” controlling girlfriend. Don’t do Silent Prayer from fear
(1:31:21) – Christina (I think) I would say no, I don’t love myself. “Self-love” term from a friend trying to control a boyfriend… I do similar things. (1:32:35) If he wants to be a drunk, let go of the situation. Let him go. Then I let it go. Never argue with anyone.
(1:33:06) Silent Prayer because I was depressed. Easier not to believe the bad thoughts, but the high thoughts… compliments about intelligence, I’d seek them. (1:34:20) Still listening to the Devil. There is no “your way.” Don’t do the prayer out of fear. Do it because you want to be one with God.
11 – Medical science? Do I love myself? No, do you love yourself?
(1:35:44) – Is medical science fake? You don’t even know when they’re telling the truth.
(1:37:34) – Do you love yourself? Do I love myself? No, do you love yourself? … I don’t know!
12A – Feedback: Love yourself? Loving your hell?
(1:38:34) – Anita, yes, you do love your hell. Not aware of it. Love yourself? Yes. I seek the truth.
(1:39:48) – Colin, loving yourself is a lie. (1:40:31) Medical malpractice second-leading cause of death. Not surprised.
(1:40:42) – Andrew: Secretly loves his hell. It’s the not-you. (1:41:35) Man: Help? Dream. Satan
12B – In a dream. Practice being present.
(1:42:12) – JLP: We’re all in a dream. Just know you want out. Practice being present. It’ll bring you out for you. The light. As easy as walking through the door. Even easier. Giving up trying to change yourself. Stop believing thoughts.
13A – I’ve been a fake Christian, a “junky” to my ego
(1:43:26) – Came last Sunday, fake Christian … (1:44:22) I’m a junky, ego more potent than crystal meth or fentanyl. Old school cocaine, 15 years ago! (1:45:07) Need hits, get withdrawals.
13B – JLP: God has nothing to do with Christians, religion
(1:45:53) – Christians use the name of Jesus to cover up, but they have no relationship with God at all. It’s all from the ego, religion. Nothing to do with God.
14A – Love yourself? Guys anwer
(1:46:50) – Young man: Love myself by keeping myself out of trouble physically.
(1:47:25) – The pie man. Flan. Argentinian flan. No, no me to love.
(1:48:04) – Hassan, Ye …
(1:49:51) – Another man. Ego hates the real me.
(1:50:15) – Kurt: Yes, I’m selfish. Aren’t you supposed to deny yourself?
(1:50:39) – Hake
(1:51:51) – Franky
(1:52:18) – Dolores –
(1:53:22) – … Alyssa (sp) my daughter if I had one…
14B – Raymond: “I don’t deserve to love myself”?
(1:54:13) – Raymond, I don’t deserve to love myself. Do you believe it’s possible?
(1:55:10) We been yelling at Raymond for 30 years about condemning yourself. Why don’t you stop? (1:56:23) You gonna be 80-something soon!
14C – JLP: Love yourself, love God. No impression. Stop thinking, stop judging
(1:57:28) – JLP: If you don’t love yourself, you’re never gonna love God. You can’t hate anyone! That includes you too! Can’t have any impression about yourself at all.
(1:58:31) – Colin, I don’t see how there’s a self to love! If you can “huh,” you can hear! (1:59:34) Stop thinking about self, God… Stop judging people full of it saying they love themselves… You’re judging them! It’s about you! “They’re full of crap!”
(2:00:26) – The gal on being divided. I don’t love myself… A peace came over me when you asked.
(2:01:31) – JLP: It’s the fake self you don’t love… Can’t hate anybody! We’re all one, all whole, all the same. Like Colin judging the people. They just can’t see. (2:03:08) … (2:03:51) Paul said it: I can’t change myself! The Spirit of Truth changed him.
(2:04:21) – Drop the false self. Find the true self. You love the real self.
(2:04:48) – BQ: Greatest display of power. (2:05:26) Give up arguing!
(2:05:57) – Christina (I think) on loving self… I was right, I was wrong, confused. Nervous till you answered.
15A – JLP on BQ: Defenselessness … Do you believe you’re perfect?
(2:07:03) – JLP: The greatest display of power is defenselessness. Give up fighting. Be a doormat. The people go nuts! When you don’t argue! Only love what’s right.
