TDV: Job's Wife (EP 3)
What if the most dangerous voice you’ll ever hear sounds like someone you love? We open with Job’s fiercest trial—From the garden to Peter’s stumble, the pattern repeats: when suffering strikes, the enemy aims to rewrite the story of God’s goodness and push us into trading integrity for short-term relief.
How do you tell when advice—even compassionate advice—plants seeds against your faith, your soul, or the Word of God? How do you answer like Job and like Jesus: “Get behind me,” and keep your soul? The takeaway is clear and actionable: guard your integrity, saturate your mind with truth, and stay close to people who will contend for your future, not your fears. If you’re standing at the edge—ashamed, exhausted, or ready to give up—there’s still a path forward. Press play, share this with someone who needs hope, and subscribe so you never miss a word that feeds your faith. Leave a review to let us know where you’ve had to say “no” to the wrong voice and “yes” to life.

SPEAKER_01:Hello there friends, may the Lord Jesus bless your life. Once again, together with our series, The Voice of the Devil. The Voice of Sata. Since the beginning of the creation, when Sata fell, he fell with one mission. To speak against God, to speak to those who were called by God. We just learned that he spoke to Jesus. He used Pira also to speak to Jesus. And today we are talking about the wife of Job. Job lost everything. All his children, his goods, even his health. Then his wife came to him. And then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die. Who was using that woman in that moment? The devil. In other words, curse God and go to hell. How can somebody curse God and go to heaven? No. The plan here was that he would lose his salvation. How many times we heard about this message, about what she said, but we did not realize what was behind. Satan wants to take him to hell. But he said to her, you speak as one of the foolish women speak. In other words, you speak like a crazy woman. And he said, Shall we indeed accept good from God? And shall we not accept adversity? In all this, Job did not sing with his lips against God. Well, the message here, the bottom line here is that he kept his integrity, his faith. And how many people, when they lose some some thing or someone, there is the same voice, the voice of the devil, and listen, using the wife. Somebody that was close to him. How can you identify that is your wife, your husband, being used by the devil? You need to be in spirit. Because his word, her word, that they are speaking, they are planting a seed. If you accept it, the seed will bear bear fruit in your life. Job did not accept. He said, We accept good from the Lord, do not accept adversities. Though God does not bring no adversity, but Job taught to us God. But you know that God brings no trouble, no adversities, no problems. So when you hear these voices trying to put you against your faith, against the church, against the Bible, you have to say, get behind me, Satan. Don't hear his voice. And don't forget, he's going to use somebody closer to you. He used Peter, a disciple. Now he used the wife of Job. May the God of the Bible bless your life. We are going to be back with our series, The Voice of the Devil. God bless you.

SPEAKER_07:The first time was when, you know, my um children's dad, you know, asked him for a Newport cigarette. And um I thought it was a regular cigarette, but it was laced with cocaine. That's when I took on seeking the drugs for myself. And that's when I began to go into my addiction. It started out with a cigarette, and then I was introduced to um I seen people smoking off the crack pipe. And um that's when I went into trying that, and I would go seek more. But then I watched and started being around a lot of trap houses, and I began to see um people sell drugs, and I watched, and I was like, that's the way to get money. As a female, actually, I saw for the first time sell drugs, and I kind of got up under her wing. And so I started running for her. And then that's how I learned how to sell drugs. Being around men and watching them sell drugs, and a lot of money went through my hands, getting with people that had money, I would get their money, then I would I would flip it. That means get their money and make it grow. Make it grow. And I would go get uh large amounts of the drugs, and then I would break it down, and so that I could have some just for myself and then have some to sell to others as well. Everybody knows Sasha. That was my street name. Sasha Fierce. And I I live that name. I had no fear. I was once I felt the power of the money, the guns came in play. I began to get guns, sell the sell the guns to other dope dealers. I would hook up with people that would get me the guns, people that would uh get merchandise, clothes, stealing clothes out of stores. I would buy jewelry, um, everything I needed to survive. I linked up with people for the drugs they would want. I would give them the drugs to get me whatever I needed. I've been raped, kidnapped, strangled, choked to death, or barely, almost choked to death. In this addiction, I still went for the drugs. That was my bottom when I lost my kids. But then they didn't stop there. I was so depressed. I was so, I wouldn't do, I wouldn't get up, I would just go get the drugs. I just saw what I wanted to do, and I, you know, I it was like so much, like something was sitting on me, like a 10-ton rock was sitting on me. I couldn't get up trying to pick my baby up. It was just terrible. I sat on the floor, I just had the gun in my head. 357. I couldn't, I couldn't bear that. I just wanted that. You know, I was flipping two channels, and I I seen Bishop Joshua on there, and it was like, it was like for me. I called in a lady, answered the phone, and she directed me to this church. I felt the love when I got here. I knew I was supposed to be here. Pastor laid hands on me, strongly laid hands on me. When I tell you, the depression lifted up instantly. When I walked out that door, I did not feel the same. Every day after, from that, from up until now, through faith, I began to, you know, see, you know, myself getting stronger. But when I surrendered this time, I surrendered. I I said, Lord, my life is not my own. I said, I surrender. I am an offering, and I had I had to cry out. I had to give it up. I had to, I said, Lord, I'm I'm done. I am done. And um Pastor was preaching on what good are the blessings of God when you don't even have his spirit. I understand that. At that time, the fast of Daniel, I um I watched the Christian channels, I watched the um the um Showdown of Faith, I watched Christian movies, I read um The Ministry of the Holy Spirit, all the um the fruits of the spirit, the flesh and the fruits of the spirit, um, all the books that was given, you know, that I would make donations and get here in the ministry I was reading, my word, the Bible, the 21-day booklet with the Pastor Daniel, I was in that as well. So I'm just soaking myself, seeking God's face with everything that has been given me, um, being instructed, being obedient, whatever the pastor's uh telling us to do, I'm doing it. Um, you know, so in every area I've been faithful, I'm enjoying the blessings of God. I have received uh the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After receiving the Holy Spirit, um, the cravings for the drugs, I didn't have any. I have no desire um for the drugs, uh for to go in the streets anymore. Um, I've been set free. I don't take the anxiety medication uh anymore. Um I am I'm not getting angry and all my children there in my life, normal street life. I don't, I don't want to even look. I God said you love one or hate the other. I hate it. Today, I have the love for God. He's number one today. The Holy Spirit has brightened my world. I am I have joy, I have peace, I have peace. I'm not I'm not uh running from the police. Um I don't have to look over my shoulder. I can go to sleep at night and I have peace. God has given me the victory in his own because his spirit. I want to give hope, a message of hope to whoever is addicted to drugs, depressed, um, just got shame and guilt. Um there's a way out. You know, there's the all is not lost. Don't give up before the miracle happens. God is the key. You have to fight, you have to surrender. You can't think that you have time because we're in the last days. The bride is coming, the groom is coming back for his bride. Time is running out. It's time to come in. God will do the rest. You do your 50, God will do his other 50. You be faithful to God, he will be faithful to you.
