"What Are You Looking At?" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole

How do we discern correctly what we are looking at when Jesus warned us that nothing is as it appears? Even those walking with Him and working in the Harvest field of souls may miss it.

When Jesus came the first time, many missed it because they were looking for a Messiah who would settle the turmoil of the world they lived in and restore the earthly kingdom of Israel. They could not see or grasp what was going on because their perception was distorted by their preconceived ideas and perceptions of what the Messiah would look like.

Even on the day of the Resurrection, His disciples didn’t recognize Him when he was walking right with them, because they were reasoning in their hearts. They were still looking for the missing body and why the tomb was empty.

We can get caught up in our own entanglements of perception and become overwhelmed by life’s circumstances. We must learn to pay attention to who we are listening to. We must learn to walk in the Spirit and not use our old soul-software to try and figure out how to follow Jesus.

0:00 Music. Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Yes, Father God, the war goes on, and we are victorious. Thank you, Jesus. We declare that your will be done, O God, on earth and through us. Your kingdom come, Lord God, and that you give us wisdom and discernment in these days that we will not be deceived, Lord God.

0:45 For many will come in your name, saying, We're the Christ. I'm here, I'm there. Lord Jesus, you are the Christ. You died on the cross for us. You are the true shepherd, the good shepherd, who laid down your life for us. And took the death sentence for us that we might live. Thank you for salvation. Thank you. It's a free gift. Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord. And I pray that today, if you haven't called upon the name of the Lord, you will do that. And Father God, we thank you for giving us wisdom and eyes to see, ears to hear, a heart to receive, a mind to understand, and that there will be a clearing out of the spirits of fog and enchantment and deaf and dumb and confusion. And I don't know, in the minds and hearts of the people who are listening today, Just remove these spirits that block and dull our senses and cause us not to hear or see or perceive correctly.

1:30 I thank you for wisdom. You said, if any man likes wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and abradeth not. We thank you also for the promise, divine protection, that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to his purpose, Lord God, that all things work together for good, and that no weapon formed against us will prosper, Lord God. Give us, again, eyes to see and ears to hear, and to protect our families, those who work for us, pray for us, love us, and have come to us for help this day and in the days to come, Father, in Jesus' name, amen. So the question is, what are we looking at? What are you looking at, and what do you make of it? Yeah, there's so many distractions. You know, we tend to focus on so many things that just pull us away.

2:14 And I just think of, you know, Philip in John 14, verse 8, because he'd been hanging out with Jesus quite a while, one of the 12 disciples, Philip said to him, well, go back to verse 7 of John 14, if you had known me, you would have known my father also, and from now on you know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, yet you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, show us the Father?

2:56 Yeah, so it's amazing how they had been with Jesus, and this is the same Jesus who is the Messiah who they've all been looking for for a thousand years, and they were just all, you know, wanting, working, sacrificing, doing everything for that day when the Messiah would come. And when he came into the very midst of them, walking alongside of them, talking to them, teaching them, feeding them, you know, multiplying the loaves and the fishes and doing all kinds of miracles, they were still confused and they said, Philip says, show us the Father. So, it's obvious that it's not that easy to see through all of the deceptions and the things all around us every day. Things, you know, going on in the earth.

3:39 Things, wars, commotions, conflicts, conversations, people's ideas, you know, perceptions. Perceptions. Yeah. What do you make of it? And so, it's like, okay, there we are. Here we are. We are right here, right now in the same place as Philip in a lot of ways. Yeah, because God, in the mind of the Jewish people, he was so remote and so holy that you couldn't even pronounce his name. And he is holy like that. But Jesus said, okay— He's the Father. He came to relieve him. Reveal him, yeah. Not relieve him. Reveal him as the Father. And so it warms things up, right, when you think of Father.

4:22 Loving, caring, protecting, providing. And then Jesus, he says, when you see me, you see the Father. You ever see people that look just like their dad? You just look like their mom and it's just like, oh, man. I have cousins like that. You see them, you see the Father. Yeah, you see the Father in them, right? Well, that was what Jesus was trying to convey, and he worked. Labored patiently among us to teach us, reveal the kingdom of God. But, you know, the problem is we do not discern correctly what we're looking at when we see it, and Jesus warned us that nothing is as it appears.

5:02 So many of us are trained to make our judgments based on appearances or irrationalities or reasonings and things like that. And we don't make our judgments or discernments based on what God is saying. So we're basing it on what things look like. And we've done that forever, trying to figure things out, you know, get the idea that, and he was saying, you know, even those who are laboring in the kingdom, that would be us working in the harvest field of souls. Many of us, many, many, have missed the truth about what's really going on. So even when Jesus came the first time, obviously what we're saying is they missed it. They didn't see or recognize the Messiah. Yeah, and a lot of people he dealt with were busy serving God, they thought.

5:48 Scribes and Pharisees who devoted their lives to supposedly to serving God, following the law. Yet the more they followed the law, the more corrupt they were. Right. And then you think of somebody like Martha. Now, Martha, Mary and Martha, you know, Jesus is coming over one day, Mary's sitting there at his feet and hearing his word and so forth. And Martha's busy, you know, getting lunch ready. And Jesus said to Martha, Martha, listen, you're distracted. He says, one thing is necessary. Don't make such a fuss with her. So it says in King James, I believe it says, she was troubled with much serving.

6:31 So in other words, we can be so involved, in our serving the Lord as we think of it, that we just miss the Lord himself. Yeah, well, this is true. And I think this is a shock and sad, very sad. There's so many pastors even, and men and women of God laboring in the harvest field, missionaries, whatever. They're all so busy taking up with the details and with the look of things and the way it, you know, their manipulation and trying to control that they actually wear themselves out trying to do the will of God like Martha was. And they miss the true place of rest and peace and abiding and allowing, backing up a little bit and letting the Holy Spirit take over.

7:12 And so many of the people are suffering from a lot of what we would call, in that case, spiritual abuse. But we can be overcome, overwhelmed with much serving or with being exhausted from serving. And we have to understand there are many layers and dimensions to the distractions that Satan has put upon us, the burdens, other people's tragedies, fear, worry, even the undiagnosed or unrecognized anxiety that compels us. I think a lot of times we don't even realize how much stress and anxiety and pressure is internalized, and we're trying to manage that at the same time we're trying to manage the things that are going on around us.

7:53 And the other problem is ignorance. And, you know, in Luke 24, 16, the disciples were on the way to Emmaus. This was just the very day that Jesus rose from the dead, and they missed the whole point of what was going on. You want to read that? Yeah, so, Jesus, you know, they were on the road to Emmaus. These are his disciples now. Yeah, these are followers of Jesus. And Emmaus is about like seven miles from Jerusalem, and so they're talking. They're talking, trying to figure things out. While they conversed and reasoned, it says in Luke 24, 15, that Jesus himself drew near and went with them, but their eyes were restrained so that they did not know him. Yeah.

8:36 They didn't see him. They didn't realize. Yeah, they didn't realize it was him. They were reasoning in their hearts. Yeah, and reasoning. Well, they were trying to figure out where was the missing body. Trying to figure it out. They were trying to figure out. They were all uptaken with, where's the body? Jesus is missing. Some people said that he rose from the dead, but he's not in the tomb. And so here we can do the same thing. We can be so obsessed with finding something that's missing that we miss something that's right in front of us. And Jesus was walking with them. But the reasoning was the thing that kind of tripped them up because they were into understanding, trying to understand it themselves. And this is part of our problem, too, is that when we try to use our soul software, if you will to figure things out.

9:19 You know, the soul operates through the visual, through the sensory. Through the taking in information and kind of processing it according to what it already knows. So your soul has been programmed with the experiences that you've already experienced. So you're going to run and filter all this new information through what you already know. And they didn't have any real new information on resurrections at that point because they never had any experience. So they were going back to their reasoning and reasoning and, you know, that the soul operates out of trying to figure things out. And that's part of our problem is because when we get into the soul, we've got the, that's in the enemy's territory. He's messing with your soul software, which is your mind, will, and emotions. And so they were reasoning, you know, trying to figure it out.

10:02 They were troubled with reality or the appearances. Reality is about appearances and reality and truth are not necessarily the same thing or they're kind of contrary actually to each other because in reality, Jesus was dead. But in truth, he's walking right with them so that the appearances were perfect. Faking them out, which can do for us too. We are so grounded in our realities and our senses that we don't really go into the spiritual places of the dimensions that are unseen or the things that God wants to reveal to us that are not yet known. They also had a religious perspective, and this is part of the soul too, we're religious. We're using the works of the law, legalism, that's what they were all saturated with in those days, was the legalism, the Judaism, the sacrifices, the Pharisees, the temple, all this.

10:49 And then the final thing that they were in trouble with was responsibility. The arguments guilt uses oftentimes to get us to feel like it's our fault, whose fault, who's to blame. And if we don't discern what's really going on and flip over to our spirit software, we're just staying stuck in that soul software, in that loop of confusion and deception. We'll go nowhere. That's why the Bible says in Romans, walk in the Spirit, and to not fulfill the lesson of the flesh. So God wants to give us the eyes of the Spirit by the Holy Spirit to see what's going on. Well, what's going on, you know, in our lives, there's so many things going on, distractions, and distractions, hurts, pains, tragedies, information coming our way. Helplessness. That just— Loneliness.

11:34 You know, and there's an epidemic of loneliness. There are people that are so lonely. I see. We're more connected electronically than ever before, but yet people are more lonely than ever before. Yeah. And you see, you know, teenagers committing suicide. Everything. There's so many things that are overwhelming. But being able to see through what's going on. And keep your eyes on the ultimate end, which is the coming of Jesus Christ. Which is Jesus Christ himself. So walking in the Spirit, And let's talk a bit about that. Walking in the Spirit is where you see things going on in the Spirit in the midst of all the clutter of what's going on in our lives.

12:22 To get rid of the clutter so we can walk in the Spirit, we have to recognize that many of the things that we're thinking about and hearing, actually hearing come out of our mouth. This is very simple. What the heart is full of, the mouth speaks. And Jeremiah says, the heart is deceitful above all else and desperately wicked. So, the residue of our heart is usually coming out of a broken heart, disappointments, abuse, rejection, all the negative things. Tragedy. Yeah. And so, you're hearing your mouths say what your heart is, what's in your heart. And, for example, in the road to Emmaus, they said, we were hoping. So, they were hoping that this would be Jesus. They were disappointed. They were disappointed. They were very disappointed. But if you're taking, we're taking our counsel from the inner counsels of our mouths, the fear, the doubt, the unbelief, the things, especially the I don't know and confusion, these become our counselors and our trail guides.

13:12 So my mouth is saying, I don't know. I hope so. I can't figure it out. And you're being then led and misled and instructed by the spirit of fear, a demonic counselor that resides in you, fear that's in your heart. It's coming out of your mouth, it's pouring out of your mouth, and then it brings with the words of destruction or fear of the future. And you and I at that point have to decide whether we're going to agree with the words we just said or agree with what God says. And this is very tricky because the devil gets you to murmur, complain, you know, judge yourself, judge other people, cast doubt, fear, hopelessness, negative words onto situations.

13:52 And Satan is actually using you then to create a negative future. And so we have to realize that you must continue. You know, the Bible says take captive every thought. And the way you take captive a thought is to recognize the words that the thought is producing out of your mouth and say, you know what, I am going to make it. No, I'm not going to get sick. No, I am a child of God. No, this is going to work for good because Jesus himself, you know, was led by the Spirit of God into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. So even if I'm in the wilderness led by the Spirit, not out of the Spirit, but in the Spirit, to be tested or tempted, he was tempted by the devil, I should say, but he's led by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. So Satan was challenging God's ability to keep Jesus in the wilderness.

14:36 Satan is challenging God's ability to keep you in your wilderness. But Jesus, he passes all of his tests, and he never is defeated. So you and I can vote with him, with the truth, and say, you know what, I reject the counsel of the physician. I reject the curse of the diagnosis. I declare before God, I am going to be fine. I am fine, or this cancer must leave because it must submit to Jesus Christ. We have to recognize that Christ is over all, and he is God over all, and he's bigger than cancer, and he's bigger than crisis, and he's bigger than anything Satan has put in your life. And also that God says in Romans, I mean, 1 Corinthians 10, 13, God will never test us or tempt us.

15:20 It says tempt us above that he's able to keep us, but with every temptation he makes a way of escape that we're able to bear it. So God is taking responsibility for the temptations that Satan is putting on you, and God at the same time is taking the test that he's been forced to take by Satan to prove to you, God is proving to you, that he loves you and he can keep you. In the Psalms, it talks about that God revealed his works to the children of Israel, but he revealed his ways to Moses. So Moses knew about God's ways. He understood his ways, yeah. Not just his works. And I'm just thinking, too, what they were saying, Marjorie, and the Emmaus disciples in Luke 24, 21.

16:00 But we were hoping that it was he who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened, since he died. We were hoping that it was he who was going to reveal Israel. So, yes, it was he who redeemed Israel, but he did it in a way they didn't think. He did it through the cross. But they were listening to their mouth, and they were saying, we were hoping, which implies we're disappointed this didn't happen, it's too late, it's past hope, whatever. And so, a lot of times, your mouth will try to instruct you in the wrong, in a wrong direction. And so, you know, sometimes we get so hard on these disciples.

16:41 Oh, they were so blind, but we're like that. Right. You know, we're like that, too. We were hoping, you know, we have hope. We think it's supposed to work out a certain way. Right. But God has a plan and a purpose that's being worked out. Because both God and Satan are always working in the same place at the same time to do the opposite thing. So all things work together for good to those who love God. So we jump to conclusions. Satan makes his move and we jump to conclusions and don't let God make his move. So if you're in a place where Satan has just made a move in your life, hold on. Don't judge God. Don't throw in the towel. Wait for God to make a move. Ask God to make a move to vindicate or to deliver or to reveal his truth.

17:24 Because this is the game. You know, whose report are you going to believe? And Satan is just a master of smoke and mirrors. And in Matthew chapter 13, Jesus explains a little bit more about this blindness. And he says in chapter 13 of Matthew, let's start with, he talks to them in parables. He says, verse 11, he answered and said to them, because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. And then he says, for whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

18:10 So then he was talking, referring back to the prophecy in Isaiah, where it says, Hearing you will hear and not understand, seeing you will see and not perceive. For the heart of this people has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, their eyes they have closed. You know, how hard is it to discern something if you cannot hear, if your eyes aren't working and you cannot see, you cannot smell, you cannot perceive what's going on? Their eyes have been closed. Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, and I will heal them. So a lot of people are not being healed because they can't see, they can't figure it out. They've got their own ideas of what it should look like, and they've missed the truth, the revelation of the power of God, the reality of God, the truth of God.

18:51 But he says in verse 16, But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For surely I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it. So he's confirming to them the fact that they're hearing something brand new. They're seeing something that they'd longed for, waited for for many years, prophets and kings, people had believed for this revelation of Jesus Christ. And now he was revealing it to a select few who had eyes to see. And this is what God wants us to have is those eyes. You know, because why? Why would he close the eyes and ears of so many people as Isaiah said, having eyes they do not see, having ears they do not hear? Because if you don't hear, don't see, you don't perceive, then you don't get it. You're still sleeping.

19:37 And you're not, I don't know, I just don't, this is to whom, for whoever has to him, more will be given and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have even what he has will be taken away. So if you have some revelation of God and receive it, God's going to give you more. And so it's kind of like, you know, the blessing of receiving and understanding gives you more understanding, which gives you more understanding, which gives you more abilities to walk in the power of God. But if you blow it off and don't get it, don't see it, you're dull, you're still under the enchantments and the spells of Satan sleeping, then you don't get it. So how can anything even be required of you because you don't get it?

20:17 Yeah, and rebellion hardens your heart, dulls your heart. And there's so many things in our world of influence that the enemy works through to make us dull. And I mean, you have deaf and deaf and deaf spirits, exhaustion, depression, fear, all these kinds of things that just make us dull. And we get taken up with other things. The desires for other things, Jesus said in the parable of the sower and the soils, choke the word and they become dull. The cares, riches, and pleasures of life come in and choke the word. You know, we don't want the word to be choked in our lives.

20:59 We want the word to be prevalent in our lives, that we operate according to the world. We're not all taken up with cares and riches and pleasures. All those things are part of us, part of our being here on earth. But, you know, we don't want to be unfruitful because, you know, we get so distracted or basically buried with all these fears, riches, and pleasures. Duties and things. I think that a lot of the problem, too, is we're impulsive and impatient. And the work of God in us takes years and years and years. He's a master craftsman, and he doesn't rush his workmanship in us.

21:40 And yet we want to see it done, packed, delivered, shipped out, and received the same day you set the order. I mean, we're just kind of like, it's not fast enough. We want to see things accomplished. We want to see things done. And with God, that's just the opposite. It's very slow. Sometimes you can't see any progress. And if you're looking for results, some of us, we want to see that task accomplished. And so we're not given to—we want to see the numbers. We want to see the church pews filled up. We want to see the building go up. We want to see the massive numbers of people come in. But, you know, that's not how God always works. He's very, very meticulous, very deliberate, and very patient with himself in what he's doing in your work, in your life.

22:24 And so whatever you're going through right now, it's an optimum condition for God to work in you to bring forth the most beautiful things. Rendition of you, if you will. So all the pressure, all the affliction, all the this and that, you know, God is with you in it. He's able to carry you through it. He's able to turn it around for good. He's able to use it to bring restoration to you. He's a God of justice. And I think that one of the things that discourage us and turn us away from God so quickly are the unfair things, the injustices of this world. And we just can't seem to, you know, wrap our head around how could good God do all this, but it's not a good God that's doing this.

23:07 It's a very demon, very bad devil who has tricked you into voting with him to go into that place of discouragement or controlling it or taking matters into your own hands rather than letting go and letting God. So releasing and trusting and resting in God is about the most scary thing most people do. But once you get the hang of that, resting, abiding, and being. And then it becomes all these things that you're trying to figure out become God's problems instead of your problems. And it's God's opportunity to show himself strong on your behalf, and it's not your problem. It's not your fault. Satan wants you to take the blame for everything, including the ways he trips you up and knocks you down the stairs. I fell down the stairs. Did you really? Why did you do that?

23:48 Why would you throw yourself down the stairs or fall down the stairs? No, it was the enemy, but we take the blame for so many things that Satan does in and to us and to our loved ones that we don't realize this is a war. And I think until you get this paradigm in your mind that this is a war, this is not a friendly little cruise ship, this is a destroyer battleship that we're living on, that you will start to get that paradigm in your mind, then things will start to make sense. If you don't have the right equation, you'll never get the right answer. You know, if you don't have the right elements and factors in that equation, one of the things you need to put in the equation is the enemy. Not to give him credit, not to give him power, but give him the place that he has, where he operates from, so we can understand, and having that understanding, we can then be comforted in the Lord.

24:40 And so, bottom line, don't go by what things look like. Don't go with what things feel like. Don't go with what people say about things. You know, this and everything out there is designed to deceive everything. Everything is designed to deceive you. And it looks good, but it's all so much as if it's divination. It's made to look like it's helpful, like it's healthy, like it's good. But you... We don't get it and we eat it. I mean, I'm thinking of labels on most of anything you would buy these days that there's three inches of description on the ingredients of what, and you can't pronounce maybe one fourth of the words, and the rest is all gobbledygook.

25:25 And you know the fine print is so fine it's even hard to read it. So you pick it up, you look at the ingredients, you don't read them, or you try to read them, they don't make any sense. You buy it, and you eat it anyway. So you've just agreed, Satan has told you this is poison, but you just said, yeah, okay, but I'm going to eat it anyway. So you have just made a pass. So this is a way to deceive us, a passive agreement. It's actually divination. They give you all the information. You have all the truth out there, but you blow it off and you say it's too much and you go eat it anyway. This is, on the toothpaste, the same thing. They give you all the ingredients and then the number for poison control, because obviously this is poison, but you use the toothpaste anyway.

26:08 And so you've just agreed with, well, you know, I'll take my chances. So this is the way we kind of discern the world. And it's not, it's really tricky because it's not simple, it's complicated. But with Jesus Christ and the Word of God, He's very straightforward. He's not, He's brilliant and multidimensional, but with us, He's very, I love you. I've come to save you. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. How complicated is that? And yet we try to read so many things into—and even we try to read spiritual things into things that aren't spiritual. We're just trying to find something. If you go back to simply reading the Bible, just read it.

26:51 Take your religious glasses off. Take off the glasses of reasoning and religion and responsibility and just read it. Just settle down, read the words, and let them soak into your understanding. And if you don't get it and if it bounces back and if you're blocked, ask God to remove the blocks, the Holy Spirit, to show you what's in it. The Holy Spirit is here to teach us and lead us into all truth, but most of us don't use the Holy Spirit very much. We don't say, Holy Spirit, I need help with this. Holy Spirit, help me finish this. Help Holy Spirit, show me what to do here. Holy Spirit, I can't do this. If you'd start using your words to ask the Holy Spirit who's in you to do something for you, to help you, to show you, to lead you, to protect you, to guide you, to finish the project, to remove the complications, if you start to talk to the Holy Spirit.

27:39 He would do something to help you. I mean, most of the time He's just waiting, waiting, twiddling His thumbs, waiting for you to give Him something to do. Yeah, GPS is, there's sometimes I don't trust GPS. I mean, there's times where. Are you talking about the Holy Ghost guidance system? Yeah, I'm talking about Holy Ghost guidance system. Well, I trust him all the time. Well, the thing is, too, is sometimes just looking at GPS, I know one time. On your phone he's talking about. Sometimes it's like, okay, I want to know how to get to wherever. And sometimes I've had an experience where they would lead me onto some gravel roads to go somewhere. and it's like, no, this isn't right. And you already know how to get there. And sometimes, you bear witness with this, Marjorie, I'm thinking, okay, we're going to a place where we've never been before, GPS, and I'm thinking.

28:26 Oh my goodness, no, this isn't right. This can't be right to be here. But then I find out that I'm listening to the entity on the GPS and they're right. They get me there. But the thing is too, there's imperfections with that. Maybe they don't know if there's a road closed or something, but the Holy Spirit knows everything. All the roads that are closed. And we've got a perfect GPS, ASGS. Holy Ghost guidance system. Yeah, Holy Spirit guidance within us. And we're just tuning into that. You're not alone. You're not alone then, are you? You're never alone. We always say, oh, I'm alone. There's nobody here. I lost my husband. I lost my whatever.

29:10 I lost my way. But you know what? The Lord has not lost you. You're not lost if the Lord still knows where you are. And so, again, comfort yourself in the Word of God. It is a solid comfort. And if you get there and you say, I feel so judged, I feel so condemned, then you're reading it through a filter, glasses that are all mucked up with confusion and judgments. And take off those religious glasses and just let the Lord speak to you through the Holy Spirit. God the Father sent His Son Jesus to die in our place and then sent the Holy Spirit to live inside of us because He knew how messy and confused this thing would be and how everything would be twisted around.

29:54 Nothing would be as it appears. And so the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit is the one we need to, we must get used to listening to and trusting and walking with what he says. Years ago in the old radios, all it was was basically AM radio. You could, you know, you'd tune into, you had a dial that you'd turn with your hand. There's no push button thing. You just turn the dial and there's sometimes, Sometimes you're looking for a certain station, and you not quite get it set on the right frequency. And so sometimes you'd get two or three different stations coming in.

30:36 There's a station that you wanted to learn to get the weather report, and it was two or three stations. And you'd have to adjust it delicately until, okay, you just get the one station. You're not going to get distracted by everything. Other stations coming in, they're interfering. But then you get it, you turn, you lock it in on that station. And that's what we need to do here. Sometimes we're just back and forth between, you've got so many different stations and voices speaking to us, but we've got to get locked in to the Holy Spirit. And I would just encourage everybody in the next day or so, read carefully.

31:16 Romans chapter 8, it talks about the Spirit of God leading us, guiding us, walking in the Spirit. And sometimes that's a thing, ooh, that's just a ooh-ooh thing. And there's a lot of things. There's only a spiritual, this big super spiritual elites to walk in the Spirit. That is to be the normal Christian life for each one of us. And you know, as you walk in the Spirit with God, So many of the things that you worry about, think about, are coming across your desk, so to speak, in the natural world. So many of those things are just simply not relevant. They are not any of your business.

31:57 Yes, some things come through that God wants us to intercede for and pray for, no doubt. But a lot of those things that would set us up into the— there's only two kingdoms, remember. And if what you're looking at reduces down to fear, stress, and anxiety, or worry, or confusion, it's not from heaven. So you can say, again, who said that? When you hear these things coming out of your mouth, like I was hoping it would work out, who said that? Was that the Holy Spirit saying that? Or was that the enemy trying to get you to go along with the spirits of discouragement and doubt? So that's, again, taking every thought captive to the subject, making it subject to the obedience of Christ. So as we go through this day, this week, Lord, we just pray that, we do pray, we pray, we declare that your clarity, your will, your purpose, your deliverance from these spirits of heaviness, fear, and oppression would lift off of your people, Lord, the sadness, the grief, the sorrow, the entrapments, the being surrounded by things that are seemingly insurmountable and that will never end.

33:00 And Father, let those things that are suffocating us, strangling us, end. And let there be breakthroughs now this day, this week, mighty breakthrough. Let the sky, the blue sky, reappear, Father God, in our worlds, in our lives. And let the Word of God come alive in our lives and through the Holy Spirit. That we are walking, being fed by, led by your Holy Spirit, Father. We ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Well, you've got a lot of books out that are available, Marjorie, to help us to walk in the Spirit. Yeah. We've got a lot of stuff on YouTube, too. If you want to check out our YouTube channel, you can go to either Use My Name Marjorie Cole or Life Recovery.

33:44 I use my name Marjorie Cole because there are lots of life recoveries out there. And there's lots of Marjorie Coles, too. But, you know, if you use my name to find the YouTube teachings and things, or go to, you know, things like True Light Church. you'll find helpful things, God things, good things. But I want to talk just a half second about something that I keep forgetting about myself, which is kind of a tragic thing, because probably the greatest thing that I've ever been allowed to do, up to this point anyway, well, besides all the wonderful things God lets me do every day. Of the tasks that I've completed is God on trial. And it's a 28-episode dramatization of the war between God and Satan for the souls of men told from the devil's point of view, and we have characters that represent confusion and doubt and self-pity and all these spirits that talk to us.

34:34 And in the process of trying to get Jesus killed and crucified, Satan is also taking God to court in the high court of heaven to challenge him on his right to run the world. And so again, these are episodes that are available only, really only. Now you can't get this from my Amazon. Only at liferecovery.com and right in the bookstore there you'll find them and you can you can buy an episode for probably what less than five bucks uh they're 28 minutes awesome awesome if you got to listen to something on the way to work or entertain your children or teach them something there because it's very very very very it draws you in the actors are superb and the drama and the the dialogue is is enveloping and so i would really encourage you try something different if you don't like reading you could But still, try listening.

35:24 This is an audio drama, and it's called God on Trial, and why don't you start with episode one? Yeah, and I would describe it as gripping. It just, like Marjorie said, it just pulls you in. It's like, whoa, this is really good. And the more you listen to her, the more you realize that this is what I call genius. It's genius not just of your brain, Marjorie. It's the Holy Spirit put that together in just a powerful way. It's like it's something unique. It's powerful. It's biblical. It'll give you a break from the boring and from the difficult. And you'll learn a lot because it deals with about every issue that people face in their lives.
