The body gets attention through fitness, nutrition, supplements, and self-care, but the soul can quietly go unfed. A healthy body is valuable, but it cannot fill a spiritual emptiness. The same is true in our love lives we can have relationships, attention, and companionship and still feel empty when the soul is neglected. That’s why caring for what’s within us matters more than simply caring for what people can see.
Welcome To Soul Food
SPEAKER_01It's time for some soul food with your host, Bishop Beira Joshua. Well, together once again with the Soul Food Podcast. Soul Foods is to feed your soul. We always feed in our bodies, taking care of our bodies, but we also have to have a time to feed our soul. Today we see me. I have Mr. Menesis.
unknownYes, sir.
SPEAKER_01How are you?
SPEAKER_00Here we are.
SPEAKER_01Mr. Menezes. Yesterday I had Dr. Rafael and today Mr. Menesis. We talk about the uh soul food. That's our podcast. Usually the human being takes care of more of the body than um the
How People Care For The Body
SPEAKER_01soul. Before we jump into our series that is know your enemy, we are going to talk about the uh the difference between the body and the soul. Usually they take care more of the body. I want you to tell me what people, what do the human beings do for the body?
SPEAKER_00Well, they exercise, right? We see men and women going to the gym daily. Anything wrong to exercise and going to the gym? No, it's it's needed, it's important. But the thing is that people they focus more on the body. And they forget that the body, whether uh the person exercises daily, right? We take care of our body daily.
SPEAKER_01And some people they spend hours at the gym exercising, right? Yes, because they want to have so-called perfect body, yes, and they forget about life. They want to have this uh muscled, well-built body, and they exercise, they have their uh uh their vitamins, supplements, nothing wrong, it's good, but that perfect, beautiful body one day becomes ashes.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it's not gonna last forever, it's gonna last for 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years, 90, uh sometimes, and then it ends. So the strong body, the person that was extremely healthy, that took care of from the top of the head to the sole of the feet. What else do they do for the body? Uh the person uh they eat well, right? The the they try to to uh how can I say how can I put these words together? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I need I think that you need to speak to Dr. Raphael. So they eat healthy, they want to uh they they don't take like fat food, junk food.
SPEAKER_00They take care of the calories, right? Not to eat too much, right? They they want to to be fit, they want to be fit and be known because they were very fit.
SPEAKER_01So they take care of their PRS, they take the body to rest, they cover the body, they they go to the hair salon, bishop.
SPEAKER_00They take care of their the skin products, all of that they they they do to make sure the body is always looking nice, and also plastic surgeries, yes, sir, and that's something that we see a lot. Plastic surgeries, surgery, botox. Uh, even to grow the hair, that there's procedures that people they they go through to to grow hair again. Somebody's laughing. I think they need some of the procedures, they need some implants.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so but when a person feeds the body, exercises the body, rests the body, but forgets about the soul, this body that we take care. Nobody wants to be sick. In our first episode, know your enemy. We took we spoke about disease. Nobody wants to get sick, nobody wants to uh feel a pain. Feel pain, nobody wants to feel tired, fatigue. That's why so many supplements, etc. We have to do it. But at the end of the day, we know that it will expire, it will fade away, it will wither, it will disappear.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it will.
SPEAKER_01But the soul never.
SPEAKER_00The soul continues, and that's something that most of the people they don't realize. I am not a body, I'm a I'm a soul.
SPEAKER_01Okay, let us do a ping pong here. Do you know how to play ping pong? Yes, sir. Okay, so the body is beautiful, the soul is precious, the soul is precious, it's ugly. It's a ping pong, it's the opposite. The body is beautiful, but the soul is ugly. They don't take care of it, so the body is strong, but the soul becomes weak. So the body rests, it sleeps, but the soul is weary, is tired, tormented. So you have to see which one you feed the most, whether your soul or your body. Take care of both because the body is the temple of God, yes, sir, the temple of the Holy Spirit, the temple of the Holy Spirit, but the soul is precious because it comes from God.
SPEAKER_00You see, the body was made from the dust, but the soul came from God.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the body does not return to God, yes, the body returns to the dust, the dust, to the ground, and the soul returns to God. You can read that Ecclesiastes um 12, 7 or 7, 12. I'm not so good in recording, but you can read it over there. Okay, let us jump into our subject, know your enemy.
Unstable Love Life And Spiritual Causes
SPEAKER_01Uh did you see or did you hear about our last episodes when we spoke about the diseases?
SPEAKER_00Yes, I heard Bishop.
SPEAKER_01Alright, today we are going to talk about the unstable love life. It's another um it's another sign that a person might have uh an evil espírit. Going back, talking about the body, a person is beautiful, handsome, it's well presentable, but cannot find the mate, cannot find um the love of his life of her life. It's a sign that some fin is not right.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Because usually people they when they they are dating, they they are engaged, usually they they they look at the body, right? I like how this person looks, uh, I I love I like how this person acts. I like what I see, but we don't we don't marry, we're not getting too uh uh bounding to a body, but it's a soul, and that's something that a person forgets. They see the body, but usually the the body we get used to, right? I see the person every day, it becomes normal seeing the person, and that's why many people they begin a relationship and then the relationship ends. But it was the most beautiful person for me. And I loved uh how the person looked, but now it's normal.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, a person you need to know your enemy. You have these um love life barriers, barriers, you do not find the right person. You had one married, failed marriage, one divorce, another marriage, second divorce, third divorce, and you are left with so many kids. You are a father of one to three, you are a mother of five, twelve kids, but you do not have the love of your life. You are married, but your spouse does not exist, it's non-existent. It's like you are single or even widow. He's dead, she's dead. A person is alive, but you do not have no feedback, no love back, no affection, no love, no respect, and you have been in this relationship for 5, 12, 30 years to any fifty years. Maybe he died, she died, and you grew old without the love of your life. How many goes from relationship to relationship? What a person needs to understand is that it's something spiritual. It's not about your beauty, it's not about your money, your career. And now some people just work, work, work, work because they live alone and they want to feed their emptiness with their tasks. And they work, work, work. But they have to understand that it is also a demonic attack that happened to the mother, to the father, to every woman of this family.
SPEAKER_00Yes, and then we see what they they see it as normal depression. They become depressed. That's why they need to work, they not, that's why they need to get busy uh going back to the body, exercising, right? Going out to the club so that they can feed the soul, so that the soul may feel something, but they realize they don't realize that the problem is inside is a soul.
SPEAKER_01And I do not advise nobody to jump into a relationship if you are not free. Because maybe you are going to find a partner that is more possessed than you, you are going just to add more demons to your life. That's right, it's a naked truth. You are going to add more demons to your life. And now we see another problem. Because if you have children, one, two, three, great is your responsibility. Because if you have, like you are a father of three boys, and you are like uh humanizer, those three boys will inherit it from you, and they are going to have many women, many children, but never a wife, never a family.
SPEAKER_00Yes, and and you see and you see, uh, bishop, uh, many children, uh, boys or girls, they grow up saying, I'm not going to be like my mom, I'm not going to be my like my dad. And they try. They try. But the problem is that it was inherited from the past, from their parents. It's not something that is in the body that we can write to take out, throw it away, and put something back new. It's inside us so it's something spiritual that goes from generation to generation.
SPEAKER_01And we all have both sides of our family. Because, like you have your father's sides.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01How many siblings does he have?
SPEAKER_00Uh, there are five.
SPEAKER_01Five. So now his father, his mother, five siblings, and you came in the picture because he married your mother. Yes. And how many siblings does she have?
SPEAKER_00Uh I believe she has around six or seven.
SPEAKER_01Okay, plus parents, grandparents, past generation. Now, uh, your father, your mother came together, and you came. So you inherit from him and from her. Not just about face features, gestures, and habits, things like that. Spiritually speaking, as well. When it comes to the love of life, if both sides of our family had problems, it comes to our lives as well. Only Jesus to break and remove these demonic attacks.
SPEAKER_00Yes, because Jesus is spirit and he sees what our eyes cannot. We our our vision has a limit, right? We can only observe what is before us. The Lord Jesus Christ sees what's inside, he knows where the the problem lies, where this evil is, where this negative spirit, this evil spirit is, and he has power to remove it.
SPEAKER_01Excuse me. And yes, he's going to remove it from your life. So we are going to pray right now for you who face this problem. You are now uh in loneliness, emptiness, beariness, because your heart was broken once, twice, three times, many times. Yes. And now you feel like you don't want to open up, you don't want to know to have another relationship, you decide to live alone, to be independent. But the scripture says, the Lord said, it's not good for a human being to be alone. Not even pets, not even pets wants to be alone. I have a little pet, uh, a dog, Mibbi.
SPEAKER_00Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_01But it's another story. I'll talk about Mib another day. So even Mib, he doesn't want to be alone. When you come home, your pet, whether a dog, a cat, just a bird, when sees you, it's rapid, becomes happy, it makes a party, feast to come you back, right? So even a pet, an animal does not want to be alone. And that's why God said it's not good for a man to be alone. We are going to pray right
Prayer For Freedom And Healing
SPEAKER_01now. So, over there, join me in prayers. In the name of Jesus Christ, oh Lord, disperser is unstable. The love of life is unstable. Never had a healthy, blessed love life. Spirit of the Lord, we know that is a demonic attack, spiritual attack. But we pray to you right now for deliverance that you may enter the life of dispersed to deliver, to set dispersa free from whatever evil there is upon his life, her life. Dispersa o answer and for all. Dispersa was never married. Actually, there was no marriage in this family. Every woman they had boyfriends, they lived together, they had children only to break up, only to divorce. Spirit of the Lord, remove this curse, this evil that destroys this family, and make disperser completely free. This is what I am. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, now disperser knows what the law of life enemy is all about, and disperser has to be free. So we pray, bless this day, and bless those out there listening to us, those who are in pain, suffering, in solitude. Oh Holy Spirit. I pray for the prisoners as well, those who are inside of seg segregation, oh Spirit of God, deliver them from all kinds of evil. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Be blessed right now. The Lord blesses your life, your generation, and your family. So we are going to be back tomorrow with for a more episode know your enemy or your enemies. And we are going to talk about another subject over here. So this person can also share this podcast.
SPEAKER_00Yes, share with a friend of yours, uh, someone that you know that the soul is empty, is in need of peace. Share it with them. You're going to be helping them, and God is going to bless you by uh you giving them the chance to be to be free.
SPEAKER_01Amen. Chance to be free. And the Lord wants to free you. Now, let me open here.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 And Final Charge
SPEAKER_01Um, yes, Ecclesiastes 12. Um over here on verse 7. I want you to read here for us. 12 verse 7. Over there.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so then the dust will return to the earth as it was in the spirit will return to God who gave it.
SPEAKER_01Well, we spoke in the beginning of this podcast that it's not wrong to take care of the body. Go to see a doctor, go to exercise, sleep, if possible, seven or eight hours. I'm not the best person to recommend it. But yes, read, uh sleep, rest, eat healthy, but do not forget this body will vanish, will expire. The only thing that remains is the um soul. Because in this Bible verse, it doesn't talk about the soul.
SPEAKER_00No, it says the spirit will return to God. The spirit is the mind, yes, the spirit is the mind.
SPEAKER_01The mind, the intelligence that God gave to man, like to create this globe here. Yes, God gave it to man. So this intelligence goes back to the Lord, the spirit goes back to the Lord, and here the body returns to the earth, the dust. But it doesn't say anything about doesn't say anything about the um the soul. Only you decide where your soul will go after death. God bless all of you. Thank you for watching us. We are going to be back tomorrow with who amount soul food. God bless.
