00:15 Welcome back, so the last segment we talked about where
00:19 God has led you, even from being a small boy and that fear 00:23 and how your father wasn't, I just fell in love with you, 00:27 I thought that was incredible. 00:28 I know there are some questions in the café so we are 00:30 going to open it up right now. 00:31 Any questions? Erin! 00:33 Doctor Weber, I would like to ask you a question, 00:35 but first of all but like to say that I really enjoyed 00:38 your testimony and thought it was real interesting. 00:41 But the question I have, which pertains to me also, 00:44 is I heard you mention that you moved around, 00:47 maybe 22 times in your lifetime. 00:50 The reason I'm asking is because when I was younger my 00:53 parents were military and they moved around a lot which 00:55 caused a lot of problems of identification for me. 00:58 Who am I? So I want to know how did you deal with or cope 01:02 with identifying with yourself through moving around that 01:06 constant amount times? 01:08 That's quite a perceptive question to talk about identity 01:14 in the context of moving around. 01:15 For me I realized that when Jesus rose from the dead and 01:21 went up to heaven that He entered into God's presence, 01:25 I find my identity rooted in His presence there with the 01:29 Father, I see myself there with the Father, the Bible puts 01:33 us there so that has really helped anchor me. 01:36 The Bible says it's like an anchor to our soul. 01:39 So I found that to be true. 01:41 So as a child of God literally a child of God, in the holy 01:46 of holies with God Himself. - Yeah, yeah! 01:48 Which really, for someone who has no spiritual background, 01:52 just coming from that myself is that I felt like God 01:55 a little at a time just help me to laugh and realize that 01:59 the laughter was not something I was putting on to con 02:02 someone, or putting on because it was something I was 02:06 supposed to do, but the laughter was truly me laughing at 02:09 something, or when I enjoyed something. 02:12 He just started showing me little by little what was 02:15 actually real, what was flesh in my life. 02:18 So for some folks it is really a simple step-by-step and 02:22 now I feel like I am totally healed, a women of God standing 02:27 in my own right in any kind of environment or conversation. 02:31 It's tiny little steps, I had no idea. 02:35 Sometimes I would even tell somebody I felt like missed, 02:39 if you walk by me too fast that just the mist of who I was 02:43 would just disappear and God said, in My love toward your 02:46 recovery I'm going to help you to see yourself solid. 02:50 It is amazing that He does that because we don't have a 02:54 sense of who we are, we don't have a sense of even how to 02:57 laugh, how to socialize, how to be. 02:59 God says I'm going to teach you all that. 03:02 I don't care if takes one week or thousand years, I'm with 03:07 you and there's something really cool about that. 03:09 On this thing of laughter, for me I learned to laugh as, 03:17 my father never wanted us to laugh about anything. 03:20 I find myself you with the Lord the other day, I was 03:24 praying about something and praying again. 03:26 Lord what do I need to do stand on my head? 03:28 Just humor with the Lord which was unthinkable growing up. 03:33 That is really fun, I think that is what your identity 03:38 for a lot of people is just huge. 03:41 If you're raised with dysfunction, if you then step 03:44 into addictions and you come out of that and your 03:48 maintenance time, especially is who am I? 03:53 What's actually in my pocket and I tell people, get out 03:57 there, take music lessons, learn how to draw, join groups 04:01 were people reflect who are, and start listening up to 04:06 the Holy Spirit and to God. 04:07 I think God delights in showing us that you are incredible 04:14 to Me, your My child and I love you. 04:17 I think He delights in showing us that. 04:19 And all that fear if people really knew me would run because 04:24 I have nothing to offer, God said let that go. 04:26 Let all those fears go because if they really knew you 04:29 they would invite you over everyday. 04:31 Lovability I find, I see it not as something that I have 04:36 to earn with somebody else, or even with God, but rather 04:41 it's a quality in God's heart towards me. 04:45 Amen! That's awesome. 04:47 Any other questions? - yes I have a question. 04:50 Doctor Weber I too enjoyed your testimony, 04:53 it has been a blessing. 04:54 When you spoke about how God has moved in your life, 04:59 I think about your growing up, the fears you mentioned. 05:06 How can the work that God led you into, have you seen how 05:11 that has impacted upon your fears, in overcoming your 05:15 fears, because your life work is now dealing with fears. 05:20 Can you speak about the correlation there? 05:23 Yeah, Vonsel that's a great question. 05:25 I think of Romans 8 where it says you have not been given 05:30 spirit of bondage to fear, but the spirit of son-ship 05:35 whereby we cry out Abba Father. 05:37 So for me, my fears are healed by realizing God is my 05:43 Father and now I can share that and help other people 05:47 realize that this sense of need they have, this fear that 05:52 they have is healed by their Heavenly Father and then we 05:57 can go through life as conquerors. 05:59 I think it is interesting that as God heals, you come in 06:04 boldly to tell someone else, don't be afraid. 06:09 You say that in so many ways over and over and over. 06:12 It is amazing to me, that I have never seen God, 06:16 and I have been doing Ministry for a long time now, 06:19 I have never seen God not go into the very core of who 06:23 someone is and give them such victory that person then 06:26 gladly out and offers that to someone else. 06:29 That is an amazing, amazing thing about God. 06:32 The questions were amazing, thank you so much for asking. 06:37 Thank you so much for being on the program and I am so 06:42 proud of God, the way He has walked you in your life. 06:46 We are going to go ahead and break and come back for our 06:48 close, I would like you to join us for the close. 06:50 I know you have a couple more things that I want you to 06:55 share, one is the story about a funeral that 06:58 you did at the Salvation Army. 07:00 I think that would be a great way to 07:02 close out this segment. 07:03 If you are afraid, if you are in bondage to that thing, 07:10 no identity or whatever, right now just get on your knees 07:15 and ask God who am I, who are you? What plans do you have 07:19 for my life and then just be quiet and let Him answer you. 07:22 It is really cool, we will be right back, stay with us. |
