There's a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from doing too much. It's the feeling of never quite being settled, even when nothing is technically wrong. This episode looks at that quiet unease from a different angle than usual.
Prophet Afolabi Aduroja joins Swati to share a spiritual perspective on peace, rooted in his Christian faith and 24 years in ministry. He talks about looking inward before looking outward, taking responsibility for one's own character, and why he believes calm starts with self-examination rather than changed circumstances. His views reflect his personal faith tradition and are shared as one perspective among many.

Transcripts
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that does not necessarily come from doing too much. It's that feeling of never really being settled. You go through your day checking things off, taking care of responsibilities, throwing up for everyone who meets you. And yet somewhere underneath all of that there is this constant hum of unease. Nothing is necessarily wrong, but you still can't quite relax. Even when you are resting. Your mind doesn't seem to know how to stop. And it makes me wonder, what if that tension is actually trying to tell us something about the way we are living? Welcome tearlessness to inner peace, better health. I'm Swati and this is where we explore the connection between what happens inside us and how we experience life on the outside. Because our mental and physical well-being are not really separate, they are connected in ways we don't always stop to notice to day. I am joined by Prophet Afolabi. Prophet Afolabi, really glad to have you here though before we dive into today's conversation, I would like to introduce yourself to our listeners. Yeah. Currently, Lory, I'm talking to you right now, right here in US in New Jersey precisely. And this is 24 years in the in the ministry. We're back from Africa and Nigeria know, and I'm here in. So being a prophet is a gift of God and being a prophet is something that is highly spiritual and we should all understand something that spiritual control the physical No and no. Multiple times people find it very difficult to take note and understand that. No, just because spiritual control the physical. As I have said, No, I'm a prophet from my mother's womb. The whole story started 2002. Yeah, by God, Grace and Marly, my chins because I have children, right? My first daughter is 30 plus, 30 years plus. And then the ministry and The Head of my children are almost similar by November. By November, my children, my twins be 24 years old by the ministry become 24 years old June 6. So God has been so endow blessings you true healing through deliverance and multiple things. Yeah, thank you so much profit. So like it's really good to have you here. And I'm really looking forward to this conversation because I think so many people are searching for peace while waiting for their lives to become less complicated. So let's start there. When people hear the phrase in a piece, what do you think they usually get wrong about it? Like, what do they imagine peace is supposed to look like or feel like? Well, we have to look at it. We, we human being, right? Because of we use our brain to be judgmental in whatever area of our life. Most of them, it's just about our mind, our thoughts and what we learned so far in school, education and then our society, right? This is what you know, many people use to judge or to complete or to compare, not understanding. That is beyond that. We want peace, want prosperity, want wealth. We want to walk and eat the foot of our label, right? We don't want to be on a cycle and you know, sometimes we look at ourself and smart and hard-working, right? I go to school, I'm not lazy, you know, have skills they were my not know getting it and you look at some h* are people that are not even as intelligent as you are. They're not as smart as you are and in terms of know they can't even deliver what you can deliver in terms of what you have in you and they are doing well and they are doing they are glorious, know they are wealthy and this is sometimes make us get frustrated not understanding what it means when we talk of destiny and before we can picture how to bring that destiny, we have to think of spirituality because you know, there's one thing I want you to understand, right? Our body consists something weak woman because it's so soul spirit. I mean, the flesh, the soul and the spirit, right? The flesh, our body, soul and the spirit. And we don't even understand deeply that spiritual control the physical before you can receive that peace before you can, something must first of all happened. First of all, you have to, first of all look at your bloodline. You see some people's bloodline, they don't even struggled. Look at their father, their great-grandfather, sisters, all of them are wealthy, are riches, they know their names, and you see some people bloodline, they are just on a cycle, just few of them that was struggled, you know, go through some stops. Sometimes they go through a law authority because multiple times this is where many people find it very difficult to understand something. And I have to be honest with you, right? You know they are truths that if you try to reveal it and you don't use wisdom, some people will criticize you, right? And they will give you names, right? But I'm going to explain to you and I'm going to use wisdom to explain to you so that people will not be able to say And you call yourself a prophet, you say you're a Christian, Why are you talking this way? For example, you are an Indian, right? You are in an Indian. You have your religions, different types of religions and people that believe so well in their religions. Some of them are excellent. They go to their priests to offer some ritual sacrifice. Sometimes they give them visions so that they can be able to resolve whatever thing going on in their life. That's what they call it advocacy, advocacy in the sense that if somebody have a case, either in a court or somebody is in the prison, is in the prison before you can come out, before you can be free, you have to get a lawyer. So in the special constitutions, there are people that is operating in different frequency and different authority approved of them by God. Right? Depend on the country or the nature, Right? That's why we have different types of authorities approve and stand by God. But because people that are low in knowledge, they they put everything, they know the corrupt authorities, I mean the evil authority and on corrupt authority, they must make it the same together and they call everything evil and the condemn it and they start telling people lies. So the point I'm trying to bring that to you is that what is my work? Why did God choose me to be a prophet? When you look at yourself and you are trying all you can do and you are on a cycle that means you try physically, you don't have peace, you don't have what it takes and you yourself and that is when you consult someone like me or someone like a priest depends on, you know, the authority that person is governing on based on how good I'll do it, for example A I'll list up to something, for example A In the US, we have what they call county, county and we have what they call state and where what they call federal. If I go to a county now in my county right where I'm living, all the paperwork in that county with, they will put the county, they'll put my the name of my county. Every paper work I want to do with it will be on my county name. It will not be on state name. It will not be on federal name. So now let me talk spiritually right in each community, Right? Why we have priests in community. There are some cases that is highly spiritual that need to be broken before physical manifestation can take place. So based on that priest and his assignment is what the person in questions, but the truth is for us to see a real true sun of God that is not evil, that is not diabolica, that is not, that is doing it according to his assessors truthfully and fruitfully. So what I'm trying to bring up is that when you are on a cycle and that cycle must be broken, that means it's not physical anymore. It's not spiritual. That is when the spiritual people come comes in and by the space of God there will be a solution. It is really a great perspective. So let's bring this into everyday life. How does that inner turbulence actually show up in someone's, you know, day to-day life? Like are they physical or emotional signs that people might overlook because they don't realize they are connected to what's happening in their mind First and foremost, when you people are not the same, people are different and people mindset, thoughts, how they reason, how they react to whatever association that is going on with them is not the same. And this world we are living is an energy. What do I mean by energy? If you know what they call projection, that's what they call special projections. If somebody is under a special projection or a special manipulations, right? Even though if the person is on a cycle or something is going on with the person, right? And they are trying to tell the person that come what is going on with you is not normal, right? You need help. There will be an argument, right? The person might be in a cycle all through his life, right? But that's why I always tell some tough people, Your solution starts from you yourself. Why do I mean that your solutions take from you yourself? What kind of person are you? Are you cruel? Are you wicked? Are you Heil all your thoughts, all what you've done in your life? Is it wickedness? Are you trying to disgrace somebody? Are you trying to put somebody down? You know, sometimes we fight with our heart, we fight with our mind, You know, sometimes we are. If you are doing something, I don't have a remorse when we are trying to do evil, We are no allowing thought of evil to overwhelm us, and we are not remorseful. We do something that's no good to others and we don't even care. I say something like because yesterday I was on on podcast to the host me yesterday I said Life is a mirror, right? If you look at a mirror. You smile to a mirror, Mirror will smile back to you. If you look at mirror and frown to mirror, mirror frank back to you. And they always say something, do to others the way you want people to do to you. It's only begin with you, right? And when you first of all sort out yourself, everything will start falling in place. Then your mind can be renewed, your character can be renewed, Then go can walk on you and go can send a L to help to you. We have porters. The prophet is porter, the priest is porter. This this is what you call special porters depends on who you are, your ancestors, your blow line. Then God knows how he's going to know, connect it and make it work out. That really brings the mind-body connection into perspective. Like I feel like sometimes we don't listen when something is subtle, but eventually the body finds a louder way of getting attention. And it reminds us that what's happening emotionally is not just, you know, staying in our heads. It's affecting the way we actually experience allies so far. Someone listening right now, who is thinking, Okay, I recognize some of this in myself. I want to feel calmer, but where do I actually start? So what's one practical thing you would encourage them to try. I was speaking my language so that you can be able to understand before anyone come to this world right before we, before we were born to this world, that means before you, somebody's born into his mother's womb, like there's spiritual constitutions that govern our coming to this world. Maybe you'll be born in India, you'll be born in Africa, Asia, China, UK, Spain, Europe. No, there's a constitution because our soul and the spirit, right, have to go to a blood line before you can become a human being, right? But because there's one thing I want you to understand is that it's only this body, right? That fade away when somebody die. Now the soul and spirit never dies. Yes, I'm trying to say that means the soul and the spirit is internal. That means it can never die. That means that's what they call in form of like recycle. I don't want to use reconnaissance because it's against our own religion, but believe me or not, a soul and the spirit is internal, right? That means if a soul and the spirit is coming to this world, we have to go through particular institutions, right? Based on the judgment that me and you, whatever we do on earth, everything is being programmed, right? And there's one I want you to understand. If anybody today have a case and before you can have a case, right, there must be something that will take us to court. Right To believe me or not, you and I as we are doing whatever we are doing, if it is good is being recorded, if it is evil is being recorded. All our activities in this world is being programmed and recorded, been recorded. So the time we give up the ghost that means when we grow old and someone is gone is on alive, right on alive me you are arrested. That means the soul and the spirit is out of the body, right to face When the soul spirit is out of the body, that's a particular place. There's a process. But out of the process you do you fit a caught the Okay this soul and the spirit, what does he do in this in his after life, the life you know it will determine. Okay. If the life the person lives is a good life is know then the judgment they will pass on that soul and the spirit now refer to the blow line that person is coming to, right It just like when you, when you go to court now and they say somebody's guilty, right? And as a Christian, even Jesus Christ because I'm a Christian, receipt of Paul are sin and caution the glory that means we are all a sinner sin is that mean we are we are guilty. So I, when you are guilty, right? There's always what they call judgment when you are guilty is just like most of the people that they take to prison, the prison made inmates is because they find them guilty. So and once someone is being guilty, believe me or not, and is situation will take place, which is a prison system. They call it a conscious center, a conscious center. The kind of food you eat, the kind of life you will live, It's not the life you want to live, it's the life this prison system prepared for you to live. You believe in the kind of clothes you wear. They might deprive you of using phone, they might deprive you of washing TV. There's a particular life that they assigned for you to live. Let us fast forward it to the system that people get frustrated. Right? We don't know that we only know physical imprisonment. We don't know that there's what they call a spiritual imprisonment. That means before they sent you to a particular bloodline, Right? You are George. You look at what your shot and the spirit did what it deserves, and then they send you to that blood light that blowl become your inmate, Right? Your brother, your father, your mother, your siblings, you people are in this your life, people that are in a cell or in the prison, they call them what inmate inmate is a blood line and those that they are Not Guilty, they want to compensate them. They can send them to a bloodline of royal wood. They can send them to a bloodline of wish and wealth. Right, Believe me or not any family or any children that was born in a family of a rich people would the child struggled before I survive? Will it all struggled any child that was born in a wealthy family will he struggled it will not struggled any family that any child that was born in a royalh, right? That means the bird and everything or any CH that was born right in a poor erected family is going to struggle. Now where you discover where you are born to, you understand, I'm just trying to use this as an I am trying to explain. So when you find yourself in a family that it's no conducive for you and you look outside the world are you are looking at your family, why my family is so terrible like this, you understand that it's just a judgment that's so and what people make a lot of mistake is that if somebody is in a jail or in the prison, can you struggle with the with the question officers, the wars, the people, can you struggle with them, can you fight them? Can you tell them how to how to operate? You can't tell them how to operate the same way. You cannot control poverty, you cannot control the things that you have, you can't control, the only thing is you have to first of all look at it that well, what is the way out? If somebody is in the prison now and it was on a shackle on a chain, the prison, what that would tell him or her this, the rules and regulation of this place which you have to follow. The only thing he can do is to calm himself. And when he comes with the good givers rather get an advocate. And we are the advocate. I, a prophet, am advocate of God. Your priests and Indians, right, depend on the authorities operating as an advocate, right? He or she, based on the power given to him by God, knows how to sort out the special thing because the special control, the physical, where whatever anything is being cleared, then the road we opened, and then whatever the possibly is under a purchase will start changing. I don't just find myself in years of America have been in that journey where my life is in a cycle, right. When I started, my life is in the cycle, First and foremost, I was struggling. I want to how to do it by force, but when I understand that it is only God that can take me heart of all this mess that there are things that come from a blood line, right? And I can't blame my father, neither blame my mother, right? I was just sent to that blond line. My solar display was just sent to that blood line for a purpose and that's why I've be able to teach people when you calm yourself down that Okay. I mean, a blow line that needs to be broken, whatever any cause or any spell or anything need be broken. What are the next steps? Will you have this thought in your mind? right? Then it will to help you. But there's one. There's a warning. There's a warning which I have to tell people. If you are looking for a solution anywhere you go for the solution spiritually, they haxen for human blood, they are telling you haxing for AR that consist a woman blood that got to do with something evil wrong. Anything that you want to do to sort out your problem must be godly. Anything that got to do with evil. And that's why sometimes you have to pray to God that go to direct you to the right part when you are praying to God, you know, as an Indian woman, you know how to pray to God and then God will connect you to your PORs to the right source. And that's why I say we are like a mirror if you are full of evil, The Source will connect you to is evil if you are full of greed, the sou connect you to is greed. You have to first of all look at your character, work on yourself so that you can have a correct source that will change your life for good. That is such a compassionate way to look at it. So Prophet Aabi was that one advice you would like to give to our listeners? Yeah, my advice to all the people that is listening to host today's today's 20 of August. If I'm not today's 20 of August 26, know anyone that is happy to join us. I should the person should cut himself or as a lucky, as a lucky person because this will open its mind to understand. That's why I said, if you are not informed, you will be deformed. This is a very solid and good information that people need to right by listening to this information, the advice already already in this information that we are given out so they would know. Because when you are going through some certain things, I advise people to be not to be too in hasty, right? You have to first of all know the root of what is happening to you spiritually, then you can know a way out and it's a gradual process because as I've said, as we all know, Rome was not beaten the day you plant a seed, or if you plant the seed on the soil now it will not grow now, now it take a process is now for us to have the patient, the generals to follow the structure of the process until we work the way it will work. Thank you so much Prophet Arabe for being here and for sharing your perspective with us. So if anyone listening wants to continue this conversation with you or learn more about your work, where can they find you While on YouTube page they can come to Window of change on YouTube, then Philia on Facebook or on Facebook, Orabia on Facebook and then on our web window change window, change, ministry, profit. And then my P will still write to you to give you more details on how to connect. So we have our web we we you know and sometimes and sometimes it's not every deliverance people might want it private and you know, because A in the US you don't just public, publish whatever private, anything private is private. So it depends on individuals. So thank you so much profit for all and to everyone listening. I would leave you with something simple. The piece we are looking for is not waiting on the other side of perfect, perfect circumstances. Sometimes it's found in the way we learn to meet the moment we are already in. Notice where you are holding tension, that is, that has become so familiar that you barely notice it anymore. Notice where you are waiting for everything to be Okay before you allow yourself to breath. And then just once give yourself permission to exhale, not because everything has been solved, but because you deserve that moment of peace, even while life is still unfolding in a peace and better health. And not destinations we eventually arrive at, they are choices we return to again and again in the Small Moments of everyday life. I am Swati and this has been in a peace, better health until next time take care of yourself and give yourself permission to breathe.
