Speaker 2:Envy, envy that is the cold witchcraft. Jealous, due to envy, people are willing and ready to do anything to harm others. They become envious of your success, even in prison, people that are all prisoners, all in the same situation, but yet somebody, when they see you doing commissary, when they see you receiving visitation, family coming to visit you, when you get letters, when, when you go to see parole, people become envious. So I advise you, do not share your business to nobody. Zero, zero. They should not know your business because they become envious, jealous of you.
Speaker 2:I'm going to show to you today the case of this lady, because this lady, natalie she spoke to me in the church and her own sister guess what Her own sister was or is envious of her Also, you are going to see the case of Christina. She was also envious of her. Also, you are going to see the case of Christina. She was also envious of her sister. Yes, you are going to watch the stories today. Yes, but before we go into these stories, you are going to watch now what envy in the home, envy in the family, is all about. Let us watch over there because envy kills, steals and destroys.
Speaker 3:Let us watch it. When you and your siblings were younger, you often fought, and jealousy between you seemed harmless at the time. However, what once felt like a childish rivalry eventually grew into envy, deeply damaging your relationships not just with your siblings, but also with your brother and father. Envy is a destructive force, a sinister presence that seeks to kill, steal and destroy the bonds within your family.
Speaker 2:I want you to prepare a cup of water, because today we are going to pray against the envy in the family. Is there anybody family member that is envious of you? Very well, let us pray against this envy in the family, but before I want to show to you the story of Natalie, let us watch over there. Your name, natalie. Natalie, tell me your experience with envy in the family.
Speaker 4:Well, me and my mom used to have a good relationship but, like she used to always tell stories about when we were kids and my older sister, she used to envy me for that and the reason why I know she used to envy me for that, because me and my mother always had conversations and then when my mother's by her, it's like she don't call me, she don't come see me, or anything like that. My own mother, yeah.
Speaker 2:so so we I understand that you had a good relationship with your mother, your older sister yes, older sister, yes, older sister. The same parents.
Speaker 4:Yes, she's the oldest. The same parents, the same parents.
Speaker 2:And she became envious of your relationship with your mom.
Speaker 4:Yes, because the way my mom used to talk about stories, as me being a child and you know, I used to get a lot of attention and I had beautiful hair and all this stuff, but she wouldn't say much about my other sister.
Speaker 2:And now your mother stopped talking to you. Yes, how is the relationship as of now?
Speaker 4:We don't talk.
Speaker 2:No relationship, no relationship. You see that the sister did not do no witchcraft, no evil work, but just by being envious of their relationship, it affects your relationship with your mother.
Speaker 4:Yes, Okay, but every Friday you come here, we are going to undo it and you are going to have a good relationship with your mother.
Speaker 2:This is what happened in the life in the family of Natalie, her own sister. And nowadays even little ones, not just the adults, the little ones. They fight one against the other over toys, over their rights inside of their house, and because of that it affects the relationship of the parents as well. Envy, or envious eyes, destroys the family. The case of Christina the beginning of envy she was envious of her sister. Her household was very chaotic, grew up with hatred toward her family. That was the situation of Christina. Her mom found her attempting suicide. Well, let us see what God did in the life of Christina. Christina is blessed now. No more envy. Did you overcome envy, christina? You overcome envy. How many sisters do you have? Three sisters, you plus three, so you are four. I can't imagine four girls, envious girls. But it's over now. Amen, hallelujah. Let us watch now the story of Christina, and I'll be right back.
Speaker 5:I was introduced to parties, alcohol, I started to drink, I started to smoke weed and more on into my depression. I left that relationship and then again went back to somebody else who basically did the same thing. I was a youth who was insecure. I had depression. I felt like I was nobody. I was very violent, aggressive.
Speaker 5:I grew up with an alcoholic father and my mom always pushing the household forward. Then, at a certain period of time, that's all I ever saw in my home Fights my dad coming in and out of the house drunk, fighting with my mom. My dad had cheated on my mom and that's when things just started to happen. I started to have hate inside of my heart. I didn't love my dad. I used to envy my sister because my sister she had very good grades. You could say I was like the problematic one. I started to hang around with guys to get attention and I used to just be at home, see my mom coming in and out of the home and she used to be with random guys. I never understood. I started growing up more. I started to be with more guys. The guy that I started to be with he was a drug addict. Be with. He was a drug addict. He used to be an alcoholic too.
Speaker 5:School wasn't too good for me at all. I used to get into fights, and then things just progressed more. I got to a point that I wanted to commit suicide and my mom came in the room and she said what are you doing? And I'm like I don't want to live anymore. I'm tired of this, this life, I don't want to live anymore. And my mom just hugged me and she says I don't know what to do with you. I don't know what to do with you. And that's the way I understood that nobody, nobody in this world is even capable of even helping me. I remember that I got into a really bad car accident in that timeframe I would say a life or death because of drinking. I was in the passenger and that day I had a few drinks and we crashed into a tree.
Speaker 1:All Butts County units respond to a motor vehicle accident. Highway 16, west shallow road 2 vehicles.
Speaker 5:I don't know. It was only for the mercy of God that God protected me and I'm here today. Basically, I still went to school because I had failed senior year at that time frame. And then that's when I started to get invited in youth group and I started to go. A youth younger than me, he was 16, and he had invited me to the youth group and let alone he didn't know. I had a lot of problems in my inside. I just saw something different in that person and I started to tell him my problems and he's like I know where you could get help. I want you to come to my church, to the youth group. I was like, okay, sure, and I started to go For me.
Speaker 5:It was a little bit different in the beginning. I didn't understand anything, but for some reason I just felt it was right and followed the chains of prayers the Fridays, wednesdays, sunday. I just felt like I belonged there. God started to clean my mind and started to take out the sadness little by little, started helping me, I guess, to understand His will for my life. So I left all of my friends, I left the alcohol I took, I got away from everything that had to do with social media so I could focus and give myself to God. I got baptized in the waters and from there, I would say I began my journey. I gave my life a hundred percent and I started to seek more. I started to open my heart, I started to just be honest. I started to fast. I prayed at three o'clock in the morning, two o'clock twelve, and just asking God that I wanted that happiness. I didn't know what the Holy Spirit was. I knew that it was everything. That's all. I learned that it was life, that was everything that I always needed. So I did, the days passed, the week passed and just came that day. It was a youth group event that we had a camp, and that's when I seek like never before, never, never before, and I received the Holy Spirit. It's like your eyes open up to things that you've never seen before, understood before, known before. It was the peace, the love, the happiness that I always longed for. I understood why I had forgiven the people in my life. I had a purpose in my life.
Speaker 5:I wanted to also give that to others when I was in the youth group. I wanted to help more. I wanted to give more of me. I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to stop. I didn't measure tiredness. I didn't measure to stop. I didn't measure tiredness. I didn't measure my strength. It was just go, go, go, save. You know, give what you have been given. Today I would say I'm the luckiest woman on earth. My mom sees me different. She even has told me various times. My sister also, my family members, people that don't even know me, come to me and I'm like okay, I'm the person that everybody wants to be around now.
Speaker 2:I'm full of happiness and that's who I am today. She said full of happiness. When envy leaves the family is blessed. Right now is the moment for the prayer. Please get your cup of water.
