[@urgfdelicca]

one of the many great things about the perry’s is that they don’t speak of their pasts from a place of shame (at all) but rather from a place of strength because they know and believe that there is power in the words of their testimony. so beautiful!

[@crlundy86]

Yes. It speaks to 'now there is no condemnation'. They just share to explain growth and to give others hope for their own Christian journey.

Amen!

"If the flesh is fun to you, then you are deceived." #AWord

[@darianhowery6377]

If you don't crucify the flesh daily, a lot of things could be considered fun, and following your heart is the deception, Jeremiah 17:9-10. heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings

[@RCGWho]

Have y'all ever noticed how many times the Bible talks about fun, entertainment, etc. ? Me neither. I'm starting to realize that most of our fun, pleasure, and entertainment are mini vacations in our flesh away from the path of life. We get on the fence (which the devil owns) or outright jump the fence. How many hours of the day do we do our own carnal, self-pleasuring thing? Each day is a microcosm of our trajectory of our entire lives. Every action needs to be one that would cause Him to say, "Well done" if we want to hear that one day.

[@digthewarmth]

@@RCGWho Do you think that God doesn't want us to have fun? Does God not want us to enjoy the world? Even things like hiking and sports, I mean. Some people say God wants us to enjoy the world he created, but what do you think he wants for us?

[@SaltSunSandals]

I was called the N word at the ATM shortly after I was saved. like really saved. I got so angry This time I searched for answers in the bible instead of calling my friends to hype me up . You noticed that Jesus never defended himself during the crucifixion, Neve spoke a word God also told me Jesus went STARIGHT to the wilderness after his baptism. These 2 lessons helped me to realized when you give your life to God you will be tested so be like Christ: In the wilderness use the word. In anger say nothing. I love this podcast feels like a cousin kickback every time. Sidecap: This Episode had me weak a few times 🤣🙌

[@GodandJaeelyn]

That’s a word!! Thank you for sharing what you learned from your lesson!

[@sarahsunshine78]

I’m so sorry you were called that. I love that you sought God in that moment.

[@Starchannel1997]

[@SaltSunSandals]

[@Forhimilivenaturally]

I always say after you give your life to Christ they need to do a crash course of how your life is about to be turned upside down. These churches be so misleading when they tell these sinners life is changing with a smile on their face. Because baby you about to have to stand on business immediately after 😅

[@kellysmith4343]

That’s good. God didn’t save us, he is saving us everyday! Sanctification is a process.

[@geraldineunelus7174]

[@matthewbartlett2730]

The paradox is intense. The more I submit to God is the more I see what's wrong with me and my unworthiness. BUT at the same time, I experience God's love and acceptance that is based only on the sacrifice of Jesus. To feel unworthy before God and at the same time experience, to a greater extent, that same God's full acceptance. It's crazy!!!

[@theonlymeaning]

Well, is it to show believers like me (who really want to be one with these folks) to understand, that actually we just aren't invited to this totally foreign language, unknown references, non-understood way of wearing.....uh.....hats for example..... 48:20 I still feel like I'm in a foreign land . I was deeply moved two weeks ago by spoken word/poem on sin, I wept....sobs. Thank you for that Sister Perry. So I try again here tonight. But I am too old (78 soon) too white and too disconnected to any (ANY) of the references to be able to relate...

[@jaliah.04]

⁠@@theonlymeaning hey it’s okay not to get the references I don’t get some of them either. Don’t be so hard on yourself, everything not for everyone. But God is for everyone and I think the main point of this is to point us back to God. When she posed the question it was more of a joke than an actual question.

[@jaliah.04]

This was sooooo sobering. As a newly divorced women I wrestled with the idea of compromising. Every once in a while I have to remind myself that I don’t belong to the streets anymore 😂. But I am realizing like you guys said that it’s all rooted in unbelief. I don’t fully believe that God would provide me with godly pleasure so I flirt with the idea of finding a perverted version in the streets. Love you guys!!

Hearing Preston’s story about going to Cuba reminds me of my friends and I went to Costa Rica. We went on a boat trip and had so much fun, but had no alcohol. We also gave a generous tip. Our guide and the boat captain was in shock by all of it because they had never had that happen: 4 American women (specifically black in our case) be as fun, full of life and generous without alcohol. People from all over looked at us shocked.

This episode is RIGHT ON TIME coming up on one year of celibacy now I’m facing temptations I wasn’t dealing with at the beginning of this journey. Preston : “If you’re not wrestling with sin then it’s probably evidence you’re not a Christian God wants to sanctify you through the wrestle” 😰😮‍💨 whew MY GOD!

[@SJ-qf2tz]

Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳

[@wywy4803]

Babyyyyyyyyy Please tell God to take away those desires. I know its like mundane but i did exactly that in 2017. 7 years of celibacy with absolutely nothing as in no reaction at all. The bible says ask anything , so i took that anything as anything hehe.

[@JaneDoe-kd6in]

Whenever you start feeling it, meditate on 1 Cor 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Then tell God to show you your way out because His words tell you there will be a way, and help you to take that way and be obedient to His will. Don’t give up.

[@favourogbah1729]

Congratulations to you ❤

[@thatssocrie]

When God delivers us from worldliness & and carnality, it sets us up to be useful to God!!! He's making us more useful!!!

[@edubosslady]

The greatest deception is that there is a “middle ground” when GOD is clear…His word is clear. It’s either this or that. That or this. If it’s not of GOD, uplifting, full of Holiness, giving Glory & Honor to GOD…if it opposes the word of GOD it is NOT of Him therefore there is no halfway or lukewarm that is pleasing unto GOD. Deliverance from carnality is the fullness of joy!!!

[@xekeys]

Amen sister.

[@kimberlysnell2822]

Amen, Preston. We were saved. We are being saved. AND, we will be [fully] saved. Glory.

[@Miss_Dani_DWhit]

Preston and Jackie are hilarious 😂. Also, it really resonates with me how Jackie talked about people thinking Christianity is not fun. We have all been deceived at one point when straying away, thinking the world is more fun than God. I must say that nothing in the world has ever given me the peace and joy I find and experience in Christ and fellowship in like-minded Believers. Joining a small group Bible study this year, helped me with this. And most definitely a lot of it boils down to desiring fellowship, as she mentioned, and I believe at times the resistance to surrendering all parts of our life to our Lord and Savior. This was a wonderful episode.❤

[@Chosen2healbyGod101]

Righttttt🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣‼️ I’m having the greatest time of my life right now as I finally sit back and allow God to navigate the steering wheel system of my life for once in my lifetime (took me until I was in my late 50’s but hey 🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾 better now than before that dirt hit that casket ⚰️ huh 🤔 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️‼️ Whew!!) How grateful I truly am for him saving a wretch like me y’all!! I really thought 💭 I was saved for years because I was going to church and reading my Bible ever so often, going to a few conferences, fasting ever so often, giving when prompted, etc…etc… but yet I was still not fulfilled but I was super filled with a whole lot of the worlds 🌎 cares and desires of flesh and chasing the bag 💴 and affirmation after affirmation and churchy confirmations online (The next “The Lord said” Ohhhh I got so worn out from that until Holy Spirit convicted me and I just couldn’t do it any longer and then other doors 🚪 I was asked to shut and I did (people, places and things) and through my obedience, my life has drastically improved so much! I won’t turn back for silver nor gold!!!

[@Miss_Dani_DWhit]

@chosen2healbygod278 Amen to this!!!! I'm in my late 30's and definitely feel more peace now than ever. Only the Lord can give that. The world could neva. It humbles me to think about how God is waiting for us to realize this. However he's always waiting with open arms.

[@wasinate]

No lies, this past month I've been feeling like I've been drifting away from God.. thank you for reminding me that i need to keep running back to Jesus 🤝🏾

[@michellegreen6537]

Capture every negative thought and replace it with the word of God! Talk to God like he's in the room. Lord, I need you right now for xyz! The more you read and talk. When you find yourself wondering, the Holy Spirit will redirect you!

[@ChellGriffin]

Me too, I’ve been made aware I’ve drifted, definitely been sinning. I’ve made my way back to seeking God. I mean fighting the urges to do the things I’ve enjoyed doing for so long it’s tough by myself, but with God, nothing is impossible. Read the Word, listen to worship music, meditate on what speaks to you, talk with him, open yourself up to receive him.

[@ConfidentlySetApart]

Same on the weed tip. I love how once you start trusting God he will just take things away you thought you never would stop doing.

[@k.lorraine]

Man this is the fight of my life. I hope I can stop before he desires to come back but right now I don't know.

@k.lorraine You make one step & he will start walking with you I remember I use to say I would never stop I’m surprised every day. You have to tell your flesh no. Who’s in control? You or your flesh? Is what I use to ask myself. Don’t give up.

​@@k.lorraineyou can. I'm a month free after years and years and I've never felt better.

[@Yai.3]

The night before I got saved I was out drinking and partying for my birthday. The next day I was at church watching people getting baptized and started crying the entire time while people getting baptized. I ended up getting asked if I wanted to get baptized and I wholeheartedly believe the Holy Spirit answered the question thru me because I answered so quick I was actually surprised because I know that’s a big decision and I would’ve took my time to think on it 1st but God had other plans for me. Once I was baptized in the name of the father and of the Son an of the Holy Spirit, I felt renew and I was immediately saved from the drinking and partying life style. The going out to that clubs wasn’t exciting anymore and the desire for drinking was gone. Now serving and volunteering at my church became so much fun. I never imagined myself living my life the way I do now by enjoying the things of the Lord only. 🙏🏿

[@Eowyn4724]

I love the honesty here. Because I think sometimes some of us who been Christians many years forget just how much we’ve changed and how gradual some of it is, and we 1)expect new Christians to be perfect immediately and 2)we forget that we still got a whole lotta changing to do ourselves still. I’ve been guilty of that! Feeling like my fairly young in the faith friend ought to be able to shrug off an insult now that he knows he should. Like, knowledge equals immediate change. And I can get impatient, because I’ve forgotten the sanctification process, and the fight to grow.

[@Sunshine-q2r]

So true. After losing my grandmother, I gave in 100 percent to my flesh. It literally felt like hell on earth when I submitted to worldly things. Slowly but surely I'm growing closer to God. It does feel boring and lonely but I know it takes rewiring my behavior from worldly to Godly.

[@blossominginchrist]

God is good soon you shall get there I was in a loop for a year but God has allowed me to bring joy to others with his presence with no worldly conducts an I know it's refreshing for myself an them 😉

[@GREAZYK]

I hear that. Same here, and unfortunately it was longer than a year but through college and after. But God usually has to bring us low and into a state of brokenness, in order to exalt us higher into righteousness. His grace is sufficient for our needs 🙏🏾

[@miriam_m_daughteroftheKing]

the closer your relationship with God, the more you renew your mind through God‘s word the more the things of the world will fade away, become boring and the more you‘ll be in awe of God and filled with contentment, feel spiritually full and the things of God, learning about Him, spending time with Him be it in His word, in prayer or worship, fellowshipping with brothers and sisters will give you so much more than the world ever could. It‘s this juxtaposition of the world thinking you‘re so boring while on the inside you overflow with God‘s richness - not unalike the tabernacle that from the outside looked like some old tent while on the inside it held the biggest treasures and the biggest treasure of them all: God‘s presence. This mirrors Jesus: he looked like any jewish guy of the time, wore the same clothes as the next guy but on the inside… He was the most precious, beautiful, loving, just, powerful of all.. the creator of all, Lord of lords, King of kings… so to be like Jesus often looks like that; that to the world we look like some boring person while on the inside; we have the Spirit of God living within us; the same treasure hidden in the tabernacle.

OH MY GOODNESS...I have been a backsliden Christian for 20+years and was everything yall described about yourselves.I have been restored & revived in the Lord for a lil over year now.Im not in the 5 fold ministry & i doubt that i have that kinda calling...i just thoroughly enjoy Jackie's teachings and Preston's evangelical patience.The other day though,i dreamt of yall and basically Jackie said something to Preston & he responded in a slightly harsh manner.That was it.That was the dream.Didn't think much of it.Today i ask Holy Spirit what he wants me to listen to,He leads me to this video and yall talk about how Preston can be a lil "harsh" at times.That shocked me...not because of Preston's issue (we all have an issue or 5), but the revelation of it particularly after my dream.That is not a coincidence!

[@TBillingsBrand]

You guys are great!! I was introduced to Preston via his Apologetics to JWs, but Jackie is such a gem to the younger generation. I love the show, the conversations, and the dedication you guys have together to Christ ❤

[@theonlymeaning]

Brother Perry, Thank you for showing the difference between "saved" and "SAVING" and how we Believers JOIN Him in "that work". Even now, near 80, I still need to JOIN Him "in that work"....there is still repentance needed and confession at times "to one another". I no longer feel upset, though I do feel ashamed, when He shows me , reminds me of something really bad/unkind/unloving/hurtful/ugly/ that I did long ago .....now I thank Him! I confess that sin, ask for forgiveness, THANK Him for forgiveness...sometimes I cry, sometimes I am stunned to remember that "small" horrid sin.....and then I really THANK Him for showing me....amen

[@Tinaturner8]

Yall im 23 bring me on the podcast bc I have this testimony of the ghettoness of sanctification. And the struggle of being firm in not allowing the enemy, other people, and myself fall into condemnation. I’ve committed some of the worst sins according to the Bible, so the reality of trusting that God really is the guardian of my soul was an everyday battle. All glory to God for giving me the faith to believe in the person of Jesus frfr but it’s not cute and we need the body to learn how to teach the youth and walk with us how the Bible instructs.

I love how goofy you both are. You guys are amazing. "You are an ignorant man" my favorite

[@kmanda2229]

I pray that God continues to use the both of you. You speak the truth without compromise but from a place of love. Continue to be Spirit led. God bless 🙏🏿🙏🏿

These episodes never miss. Always a gem... or 10 lol, that I need to hear.

[@donnadixon8065]

Thank you all for being so honest with your testimonies, they really help me and I've been saved for 44 years and still need help. I really really appreciate yall. don't stop giving honest testimonies. I don't care how bad it might seem, this is very very helpful.

I always like to ask myself, “is it wise?”

[@__princess_d_3]

Jackie was completely right about the whole “fun” thing being a stronghold because when I first got convicted to not drink and smoke anymore, I felt like I wouldn’t be “fun” anymore. I placed my identity and the reason guys liked me or will like me is because I drank and smoked and was fun. the enemy used that on me for a long time, especially with the smoking. But I started asking God for help constantly and asking Him to change Me and SLOWLY but surely He has. My encouragement to whoever reading this is, NEVER stop seeking His face, no matter how many times you fall-He will change your life for the better. 🙏🏽 GREAT ESPISODE 🫶🏽🕊️

Salvation isnt by our merit but through His grace.

[@diadem7703]

I knew I liked Preston…I’m a cigar smoker myself. Thank you for your honesty because Christians be so uptight sometimes it’s ridiculous 😂. I fully believe there can be fun in Christianity but it’s the people that make the experiences not fun. I’ve been asking God to bring me around better friendships that isn’t always about partying. I love to bowl and play uno on a Saturday 😂💯

[@maryjackson1361]

But ion think it's ok though......the cigars

[@24pixiegirl]

I have mixed feelings on cigars. If smoking weed isn’t ok, why is cigars ok? 🤔

[@diadem7703]

@@24pixiegirl I’m not saying it’s okay. The difference is one is a Psychedelic and one is not

[@jeniferestradet8896]

I would love if they could break this down and with scripture see wassup. Cause ion think it’s right either I get that it’s not getting us high but if our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit then smoke in general isn’t good for the body so wouldnt that be wrong? I’m open to their perspective though

I agree, Alicia lost her singing voice after the first album😢 However , because of her I learned how to play piano and now I can sing and play. So , thank you Alicia ❤ Now I sing and play for the Lord ❤

[@nozomi3614]

I love you guys are so honest. We are all fall for a short. Revealing our past is totally brave.. But that's what unbelievers and even us Christian need to hear it more often. Not only me or us.. We are all going thru.. But God's grace.. We must step up and keep obeying God. Our past memories are the grace too, cuz God kept us safe and God saved us.. now We can lift others up. We are not nobody who does not understand others now.. We went thru with God so. Amen.

[@jeanettesmith1256]

This is soooo speaking to the season God has me in! Learning to enjoy the pleasures of GOD! God is so good ❤

[@kimberlyrose0671]

So Im an Old School Saint and this is old school wisdom! Thank you for bringing clarity and practicality to something we try to act like is so hard. It can be, without our daily dying and willingness to trust God in the process. So glad Cuba didnt turn Preston out. .😅 So God could bring comfort to a woman in another country. Think of all God did to set up her having comfort in her time of need!😮❤

I am 69 yrs old, 40 yrs in, and I completely understand..

This is a very solid episode. It’s good to know that removing yourself from the ways of the world (sin) doesn’t mean removing yourself from your nature and who you are at the core. Confirmed a lot of false doctrine I’ve been taught! Blessing to y’all! P.S. Now I’m adding “Smoking a cigar with Preston Perry over good conversation” to my bucket list.

[@BCDC123]

Thank you and God bless you both! I needed this. I also struggle with anger and it has gotten a lot worse lately. I need to place that issue at the feet of Jesus like so many other things. My chest is tight, the conviction is there and I’m am so thankful for it.

[@Chosen2healbyGod101]

Hi 👋🏾 Have you ever sat quietly and long enough with a tablet, pen 🖊️ or your cell phone recorder and just started jotting down or speaking out loud and voice recording for your playback why you’re so angry (like is it a righteous anger? Google the difference between righteous anger vs unrighteous anger) if you don’t truly know the different spectrums. It’s important to know which one you’re dealing with so you can identify if it’s a healthy one (righteous anger) like being angry against the “sins” of others (that’s ok/healthy) but where you go wrong and it becomes unhealthy is when you allow yourself to become angry (with the person) for the sins that they’ve committed (because then we lose sight of the fact that we all (“fall”) short of the glory of God and while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (all of us). Does that mean that we (excuse) awful behaviors of others? Umm no! However, we pray, forgive, show grace, mercy, love and all the fruits of the spirit that Christ did (greater works shall we do) and we pick up our daily cross and hold firmly to the our anchor (word of God) daily!! No who you are and whose you are and whenever “anger” knocks at the door 🚪 of your life/your mind/your heart ❤️, treat it just like you would if you got a piece of mail that didn’t belong to you (RETURN TO THE SENDER‼️‼️) Why? Though it showed up at your address, that doesn’t mean it’s meant for you‼️

[@BCDC123]

@@Chosen2healbyGod101 Hey 👋🏾 and thanks for your words. No this is definitely not righteous anger, though I definitely experience righteous anger from time to time. With righteous anger, my reactions are different. There’s uneasiness but still patience there to allow understanding and remember that we as believers will be hated because Christ was/is also hated by the world. This brings sadness, but also confirmation that is also humbling. With unrighteousness anger, the cursing comes out and very fast. Sometimes I just have to breathe and tell myself to calm down. Unfortunately, it’s as simple as that. This main issue is the environment I constantly place myself in to experience this unrighteous/worldly type of anger. All it’s going to take is complete separation from these places that are definitely in my control.

[@erikajoan4125]

What Jackie said at 40:54 was incredible the holy spirit had her say that 👏

[@earasmith3884]

This another good word. Thank you Preston and Jackie for being to honest about your walk with God. I love you both and pray that the Lord continues to use you to share the gospel with boldness and truth.

I thank God for these two ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 They are so real 🙌🏾💯 Great teachers

[@tapiwanashe5076]

24:29 "God, help purify my understanding of community" Perhaps we ought to go even deeper and ask God to purify our minds so we get to a point where purity is fun since community happens with "like-minded" people. As God purifies our desires, we'll naturally seek out people who enjoy the same things we do

[@KayteeinChrist4321]

I love how Jackie says: I enjoy purity. Just wow!

Mannnn. This conversation blessed me. Thank you!
