So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. - Matthew 19:6
Hi, everyone.
2
:Welcome back to another
episode of I Can So He Can.
3
:I am here with not another
episode of the Sound Mind series.
4
:As I mentioned last week, we were
going to start Revelation And while
5
:I don't think really many people care
about what's going on in my life, um,
6
:I really did want to share it anyway,
and just a little bit of, like, overhead
7
:details because you can't hold back,
sometimes in things that you learn
8
:and things that you grow from in life.
9
:And I re- really, really felt, in
my heart today specifically, that
10
:this is what I should be recording
about and not about Revelation.
11
:Now, that's not to say that I have
not been working on the Sound Mind
12
:series, uh, the Book of Revelation.
13
:I promised you guys that that's
what we were going to do because
14
:I did the book of Jude last week.
15
:And to show you guys that I am not
kidding and I was going to record
16
:Revelation, I even started taking notes.
17
:Like, I have my Bible obviously here,
and as always, New King James Version.
18
:There's no funny business when
it comes to what I read from.
19
:I read strictly from the Bible,
and I can show you, as always,
20
:all my little notes on here.
21
:See all these little notes?
22
:This is chapter one.
23
:I don't know why I'm showing you guys.
24
:I know you believe me, but this
is, like, part of, uh, chapter
25
:two going into chapter three.
26
:Look at all those, like,
little things there.
27
:Like, it's a lot.
28
:But nonetheless, um, it is a lot of
information just in chapter one and
29
:chapter two that I am getting from it.
30
:Um, it's not to say that it's so crazy
that you won't understand it, but I read
31
:the Bible now in a very particular way,
and when I am reading something that
32
:has a lot of prophetic-type text, like
the Book of Revelation, I definitely
33
:want to know that I am in the zone and
I am understanding, and that I fully
34
:comprehend and have a grasp on, um,
what it is that it's talking about.
35
:Um, and like I said, like, I even
have pages of notes and stuff
36
:that I've been learning from.
37
:Again, I'm just…
38
:This is literally, like, a breakdown,
like, verse by verse what questions
39
:that I had and, and things like that.
40
:So I am very, very excited
to share this with you guys.
41
:I will be recording it soon,
but like I said, today I
42
:wanted to share my revelation.
43
:And to be precise, I'm not trying
to be, like, funny and make fun of
44
:the Book of Revelation by no means.
45
:I even looked up the meaning of the word
revelation just to be sure, and it says
46
:that a revelation is a surprising and
previously unknown fact, especially one
47
:that is made known in a dramatic way.
48
:Obviously, um, another definition
of it is the divine or supernatural
49
:disclosure to humans of something
relating to human existence or the world.
50
:But I am definitely using my revelation
in a fact that I'm sharing in a dramatic
51
:way, and to me, this is very dramatic.
52
:Like, why not dedicate an entire
episode to this little, um, unknown,
53
:now soon to be known, fact of my life?
54
:But anyway, um, as you can
tell, this is all unscripted.
55
:Um, but anyway, let me get to the point.
56
:Um, so that you guys know, if you have
heard a few of my past episodes, you
57
:will hear that I was previously married.
58
:Um, there's a lot of, like, you know, um,
stuff that were discussed with my best
59
:friend and I in some very early episodes.
60
:Um- So if you guys wanna dive
into some of those, that's great.
61
:Not having to do specifically,
like, with the marriage, but
62
:just, you know, surrounding our
life and, you know, at that time.
63
:However, current day, um, that is,
you know, very much in the past,
64
:and I am extremely, extremely happy.
65
:I'm extremely happy.
66
:I feel very blessed.
67
:I feel like I have grown just so much in
the past few months, not just spiritually,
68
:'cause I feel like that has been a
very long ongoing process for me, uh,
69
:the past two years, and it will
continue to be because, you know, in
70
:terms of, you know, some people, I
may be a baby Christian, whatever.
71
:I don't even care about that anymore.
72
:But- I have matured, I feel, in my
humble opinion, and please hear me.
73
:I really say that, like, humbly.
74
:I'm not, like, being like,
"Oh, my God, I'm so mature."
75
:Anyway, my point is that I feel
that I have matured so much because
76
:I have received so much, so much,
um, critique for decisions in life.
77
:And in a way, I want to compare this
very lightly and very subtly, um, to
78
:persecution of people and their faith.
79
:And not only did I receive, um,
critiques and, you know, judgment and
80
:ugly words from people very close to
me regarding my faith when I started
81
:going to church, but even now in recent
months, um, I have received a lot of
82
:critique from especially family, um,
regarding my life and, and that's okay.
83
:We are going to deal with things
like this in life, and believe me,
84
:whoever is watching, I know you
guys have been going through trials.
85
:Maybe not the trials
that I have gone through.
86
:Maybe your trials are worse than mine.
87
:Um, so I do still think I am very blessed.
88
:I would like to, um, implore you guys
to please analyze your life and the
89
:things that you do have over the things
that you don't have, um, because there's
90
:always someone who is worse off, uh,
for lack of a better word, um, with
91
:the things that they don't have and
whatever place they are in their life.
92
:But to come to my happy news, I am now
remarried, and I know that you've heard
93
:his name, David, in several episodes.
94
:Um, but we did marry on June 3rd,
which is, like, two days ago.
95
:Um, we knew it was gonna happen.
96
:Uh, like, honestly, we knew it from
the very beginning , like, from when he
97
:and I met, um, which we met through his
sister, which is a very, very good friend
98
:of mine, and now she's stuck with me.
99
:She's my sister.
100
:Um, which Dagmara does her
lives on TikTok in Spanish, um,
101
:and someti- well, Spanglish.
102
:Sometimes it goes in and out, but mostly
in Spanish reading, um, a daily proverb.
103
:And, you know, just in support,
I always jumped on, and honestly
104
:because I was also, um, starting
to read the Word a lot more.
105
:So I do credit her, um, for how
much I started reading the Word.
106
:Um, and it was because she did it
daily, and she was very faithful, and
107
:she still continues to do her, um, uh,
108
:That's what she calls it.
109
:Um, basically a proverb a
day, um, keeps you in wisdom.
110
:I don't know how to, like, say it in,
like, a Funny, catchy way in English.
111
:It doesn't translate the same, but
essentially that's what it means.
112
:Um, so anyway, to not continue to
ramble, um, David and I met there,
113
:started a friendship, and Lord behold,
he lived in a whole other state.
114
:I lived here in Florida.
115
:We went through just stresses of,
like, how we were going to see
116
:each other, hours and hours just
on the phone and talking and…
117
:But we just kinda knew.
118
:Like, we just kinda knew that, like,
we were it for each other somehow.
119
:Um, and it's funny, in my eyes,
in my mind, how the Lord works,
120
:that everything in my life
changed when he came into my life.
121
:And it wasn't because he came into my
life, it just, the domino effect of
122
:different things in my family and, um,
in my personal life just, everything just
123
:kind of, like, collapsed in a positive
way because other things were flourishing.
124
:And I say that to say that it doesn't
matter how much you think that sometimes
125
:things may be falling apart, you
have to trust in God, and you have to
126
:trust in what you know that you feel
the Lord is speaking to you about and
127
:He is showing you and revealing to
you, um, because He's preparing you.
128
:He's preparing things, and He's
preparing you for the things that He has.
129
:And I thought I was being obedient in
my previous marriage, but the reality
130
:is, and really understanding now, um,
is that I wasn't properly listening.
131
:I, first of all, shouldn't
have been married.
132
:Whatever, neither here nor there, right?
133
:But, um, I wasn't being obedient.
134
:I was mistaking things that I thought
were from the Lord and really weren't.
135
:Um, so I've come a long
way since that moment.
136
:But when I finally listened, when
I finally chose to put things in my
137
:life that were going to be positive
for me and my children, um, before
138
:anyone else, everything changed.
139
:Everything changed and my
life is completely different.
140
:I know that, um, people who are close to
me are like, "Uh, girl, are you okay?"
141
:Like, "What's going on?"
142
:But yeah, I'm okay.
143
:And no, you don't need
to know what's going on.
144
:And that's okay because my life
is in the hands of my Lord.
145
:And what I decide is between
now, me, David, and the Lord.
146
:That's it, as easy as that.
147
:Um, and people should respect that.
148
:But I know, I know from very, very
149
:Personal experience with my own, um,
blood that people are always gonna
150
:have something to say, and people are
always going to have something to share.
151
:And at the end of the day, it should
not affect you because it's your
152
:life, and the will of the Lord is
going to happen one way or another.
153
:Come hell or high water, He is going
to get you where you have to be.
154
:And the more you go against the grain
and listen to people around you, the
155
:more things you're gonna topple over.
156
:Um, and even if you go against the
grain, sometimes your decision is
157
:going to topple the things that
you've been, like, holding onto.
158
:So believe me, something's going to
happen before you have that breakthrough,
159
:before you receive that blessing.
160
:Um, anyway, my encouragement to you is,
guys, just first of all, please pray.
161
:Please be in the Word.
162
:Um, if it convicts you that you're doing
something wrong, um, then you should
163
:probably stop doing what you're doing.
164
:Um, you should make that decision
and be firm about that decision,
165
:um, even if it, even if it has
to do with family that you love.
166
:Like, unfortunately, you know,
people have made their mistakes.
167
:People have done their lives, and
we just have to continue to do ours
168
:as best as possible, and all while
glorifying God, um, or, you know,
169
:trying to glorify God as best as we can.
170
:So that's just my point with that.
171
:Um, and I wanted to share, um,
because, like, how I had mentioned
172
:David and I met on Dagmara's Live,
so it only seemed fitting that we
173
:shared the news yesterday on her Live.
174
:And of course, I'm … Even if
it doesn't seem like I'm horrible
175
:with my words, I really am.
176
:I don't ramble as much or I make
much more sense, rather, here on
177
:my podcast because I'm technically
talking to myself when I record.
178
:But when I'm put on the spot in front of
people, I'm not a people person, and I
179
:fumble my words, like, left and right.
180
:But he's much better
At expressing himself.
181
:And this is just a little snippet,
which you can see I don't have,
182
:like, my podcast stuff behind me.
183
:But I'm gonna play the little
snippet of his announcement about our
184
:marriage yesterday on Dagmara's Live.
185
:And before I play it, please, please,
please go and follow her, especially
186
:if you speak Spanish or if you have
family members who speak Spanish.
187
:Um, e- even if you're not a follower
of Christ, listening to Proverbs and
188
:listening to the wisdom that the Lord
left us in the Proverbs is something
189
:that we can all relate to and use.
190
:So Dagmara4, the number four,
Jesus, and that's in YouTube and
191
:on TikTok, even on Instagram.
192
:But without further ado, I'm
gonna play that little snippet
193
:of the TikTok yesterday.
194
:Bueno, mientras tantos.
195
:Hera, ¿quieres
196
:hablar tú?
197
:¿Decir algo tú?
198
:David, do you want to say anything?
199
:¿Dar la información?
200
:You want to give information?
201
:Yes, um, I can since, you know, since
someone's over there with a little
202
:bit of a nervous twitch over there.
203
:Um, so I just wanna announce, it's
been my privilege and my pleasure,
204
:to take Sarai as my beautiful bride.
205
:As of yesterday, we got married yesterday.
206
:And, I am just so blessed that
the Lord sent her, in my life.
207
:And, my duty and my res- my responsibility
as a man of God is to cherish her,
208
:protect her, love her, love her
children, protect her children- Yes,
209
:sure does to my very last breath, and
that's exactly what I intend to do.
210
:So, we're married.
211
:Congratulations … the
reason why you decided that.
212
:That's not me.
213
:That- Oh.
214
:What did I say?
215
:Oh, his coworker started talking
to him, so she muted him.
216
:Oh, this is what he thinks about lives.
217
:This is why I don't do lives sometimes,
'cause it just, just gets a little crazy.
218
:I muted him.
219
:Let's see if I said s- … if
I said anything now.
220
:Hold on.
221
:Sadi, you wanna say anything?
222
:There's a reason why I didn't say
anything, 'cause he's so much better.
223
:Oh my
224
:God.
225
:Now, what should I say in Spanish?
226
:Pero bueno, I got it here.
227
:I don't recall if I said anything
else, but what I do recall saying
228
:is that it only seemed fitting that
we made an announcement on her live,
229
:to our friends that would watch,
because that's kind of like where he
230
:and I met and how he and I started.
231
:Like, kinda caught my eye and always
giving each other little googly
232
:eyes, like, when she didn't know that
he and I would have conversations
233
:and, and talk on, you know, on the
side, like, outside of the lives.
234
:Um, but yes, the Lord has really
done a tremendous work in my life-
235
:I feel extremely happy and
extremely blessed to have him.
236
:I don't know where I would
be um, without him right now.
237
:Not to say that I wouldn't have the Lord,
because I would always have Him, but when
238
:you go through a lot of things, uh, in
your personal life, there's always the
239
:risk of people walking away from the Lord.
240
:And I don't think that that may
have happened to me, but then
241
:again, you can never say never.
242
:what I do know is that he lifts me up.
243
:I lift him up.
244
:And we're not perfect.
245
:We have our little kerfuffles here
and there, whatever you wanna call it.
246
:Um, but one thing that we do
know is that there is love.
247
:We love each other, and most importantly,
we love God and we love Jesus Christ, and
248
:He is at the center of our relationship.
249
:And we both feel like the Lord
has very big plans for us.
250
:Um, and as a couple, man, let me, let
me say, like, we've just … I feel
251
:like we've already gone through so
much, and it's been a very short time.
252
:But the Lord made it happen.
253
:We're here.
254
:We are married.
255
:We are glorifying the name of Jesus, and,
um, we're glorifying our God because we
256
:are married and we wanted to just be sure
that we were, doing things right, not just
257
:because we're checking off a box, because
we do love each other, but anything
258
:that we do do from here moving forward,
it has to be in the name of the Lord.
259
:I hope and pray that anyone who's
watching this feels some sort of
260
:encouragement, not just for their love
life, but for decisions that you do make
261
:in your life, always with God at the
forefront, eyes on Him at all times.
262
:If you feel and you pray and you really do
receive that response that that decision
263
:is right or is wrong, don't do it,
then you have to listen to that because
264
:whatever it is, the Lord is making a way
and He is preparing you for what He has.
265
:He is preparing His will.
266
:He is preparing His will to be,
to be done, to come to life,
267
:to come to fruition for you.
268
:and you have to have faith in that
because what God says, God does.
269
:And I'm so grateful.
270
:I'm so grateful that God really
came through for me, um, even when-
271
:I gave him a run for his money.
272
:I kept doing the opposite for
a long time, but He is faithful
273
:and He is good, my friends.
274
:So thank you for listening, thank
you for watching, and I will be
275
:back next week with the Sound Mind
series in the Book of Revelation.
276
:I love you guys.
277
:God bless you and take care.
