Hello, my dear listeners, my name is Peter, and welcome back to Wisdom Encounters Over Coffee, the show where we talk about the complications of a faith journey and how you can improve today to make your tomorrow a little better. Over the last couple of weeks, we've been discussing intricate topics such as removing your prideful masks, accepting forgiveness, and how maturity happens when you make the effort to change. Subjects that seem quite difficult to fix, but that only happens when they're ignored, when you don't do anything about things, when you acknowledge that there are problems, but you don't do anything to fix them. So I recommend checking out those episodes. They may be quite useful to you. Today, however, we will be going through a journey together through prayer and meditation. Going through a small encounter together. I've felt led to do this kind of episode for quite some time now, and considering how this is episode 12 of the show, I think it's the right time to go through this together. So, how this is gonna work is that I recommend you find yourself a quiet spot, take your coffee to a corner, grab a journal, and let's take a moment to breathe together. Okay? I'm going to start us off with prayer. And what I want you guys to do is just close your eyes and let me just take you on this journey together. Okay? Let's begin. Dear God, we thank you for this day. Let us be glad and rejoice in it. Thank you, Jesus, for this very unique episode of Wisdom Encounters over Coffee. And for all my dear listeners who are involved, I just ask you, Lord, that you can just guide me. Don't let anything come out of my flesh or my blood. Please, God, please guide me as I guide my dear listeners to what you want to reveal to us today. Thank you, God. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus. I want you guys to close your eyes and go on a journey with me. I want you to picture yourself as if you're in the park, in a forest, in a very bright, peaceful place. Take a moment and find that place. Find your peaceful place. Whether it's at home, whether it's with your dog, whether it's with your cat, with your best friend. Somewhere peaceful. Somewhere that makes you think of home. Picture that moment of joy. And now breathe in and breathe out. Look at all the stars in the sky. Whether it's nighttime for you or daytime for you, just take a moment and soak in this peaceful land. Father God, I welcome you into this room. Jesus, I welcome you into this room. Holy Spirit, I welcome you into this room. Guide us, guide us, Lord. Guide us, Father. Take a look above you. Jesus is on his way. A great shepherd. A best friend. I want you to imagine as if Jesus is coming towards you. What do you see right in front of you? How do you see Jesus? Do you see him as a best friend? Do you see him as someone unrecognizable? Some of you I understand that may be confused at who he is. But just imagine that he's guiding you. Follow him. I can sense that he's reaching his hand towards you. He's saying, son, daughter, I want you to follow me. Take a moment to breathe. What do you see in front of you? Do you see a shepherd? Do you see a guide? Do you see a friend? Ask him, Jesus, what is a lie that I'm believing about myself right now? What is a lie that I'm believing about my current situation right now? Take a moment and ask him, even if you've never asked him before. Because he's right there. Imagine yourself sitting on a bench with him, sitting on a seat, looking at nature. He's right there. Thank you, Father. Once you find this lie, I want you to give it to him. Tell him, Jesus, forgive me for believing this lie. Forgive me for believing in a lie about myself, about my circumstances, that I'm not worthy. Forgive me, Lord, for this lie. Renounce that lie. Renounce your pain and give it all to him. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Now ask him: what is the truth about my current circumstances? What is the truth that you want to reveal to me today? If you feel something in your body, in your mind, just grab that paper and write it down. Because I sense that very useful information is going to be coming to you. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. I sense that He's saying, Don't worry about anything. Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about what's going on right now. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Take a moment to breathe. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God. Wow. Let Him be your guide. I don't know about you, but I sense heat. I sense so much heat and so much joy. So much peace. So much tenderness. Just breathe in and breathe out. Let him guide you. Let him guide you to his kingdom. Let him guide you to his presence. Let him guide you towards joy, towards peace, towards his righteousness. The battle is over so long as you let go. I feel led to read Psalms twenty-three over you right now. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name, even when I walk through the darkest valley. I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all of my days, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Thank you, God. Wow. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Just breathe, my dear listeners. Just breathe. I can sense that there's a lot of stress going through you right now. Maybe you guys had a very tough week. Maybe you guys are going through a very dark time in your life, but I think it's time to let go. Jesus, I ask you that you can remove the stress and remove the pain from my dear listeners. Remove what shouldn't be there anymore. Remove the lies that they're believing about themselves. Oh shit, shed it. If you can speak in tongues, pray in tongues with me. And if you don't know how to speak in tongues just yet, just receive. Just receive the blessing. I sense that some of you need to repeat this prayer with me. Dear God, I ask for your forgiveness. I've been lost. I've been running time and time again. I don't want to run away anymore. I don't want to be stressed anymore. I want your peace. I want your guidance. Guide me, Holy Spirit, towards your kingdom. Guide me towards peace. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are beside me. You are my shepherd, and I am your lamb. Guide me towards where you want me to go. Give me peace everlasting. Forgive me for my sins. And please, God, please. I ask for provision. Guide me, Lord. Forgive me for what I've done, for what I will do, because I'm not a perfect human being. Thank you, Jesus, for giving me a chance to welcome me back into the kingdom. Thank you, God. Just peace. Just sense his glory. Sense his goodness. Because he's still here. And for those who haven't accepted the call yet, for those who can't see him yet, Jesus, I ask you to reveal yourself to them right now. Please, God, please give them a chance. You invited everyone to the Promised Land. But some don't see the invitation just yet. Give everyone a chance. No matter what sin you've done, no matter what deed you've done, no matter how much you've lied, no matter how much you've kept things a secret, our God is a God of mercy. He will not judge us, he will not chastise us for our problems. He just wants to give us a big hug. Like an Almighty Father. Receive the hug. Receive the blessing. Whoa. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Forgive us for our sins. Forgive us where we failed. Just give us peace. Guide us. Guide us towards your kingdom. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, God, for this amazing session that we've been able to have together. I just ask you, Lord, for my dear listeners, so that you can just bless them, keep them, make your face shine upon them, and give them so much peace, love, and joy. Remove their stress, remove their pain, remove their fears, and remove those lies, Father. I just ask you, Jesus, to reveal the truth about their lives. And if they don't know you yet, introduce yourself to them. Give everyone who's listening to this a chance to see your glory, a chance to see your goodness, regardless of their sins, regardless as to how lost they are. Please, God, please give them a chance to be happy. Thank you, Jesus, for my dear listeners. Thank you for this beautiful meditation session. Thank you, God, for being here, for guiding us.

Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you. Wow. I don't know about you guys, but I sensed a lot of peace during this encounter. And I hope you did too. And if you didn't get to feel anything just yet, maybe that's an opportunity for you to seek out for him as well. Our God is an awesome God who loves us. He guides us. He made us in his own image. And yes, we sin. We fail. We're not perfect. No one here is perfect. But he loved us so much. He sent his one and only Son to die on the cross for our sins. Give Jesus a chance.
