Do you want to know about science that's changing the world? I'm Alicia Wainwright, and I'm excited

to tell you that when science finds a way is back

for season three. From next generation scanning, showing us new images of the human body, to

tackling youth depression with problem solving skills, to the new research into health care

that's putting autistic voices front and center when science finds a way listen

to season three wherever you get your podcasts hey all welcome to the christian mate tv and podcast

our guys and country connects i pray to you guys i have a wonderful day as you guys see from the

side of today we're talking about god cares more about the lesson than the level up and i normally would have made this have made this a TikTok, but trying to get more consistent with giving y'all my chit-chat content as well, because I normally only give y'all my relationship marriage content, but I'm going to try something out for the month of September. Y'all let me know how y'all like it. Instead of just making it a little quick TikTok, I'm going to be giving it to y'all on YouTube and a podcast as well because I feel like y'all enjoy this content as well. So God placed it on my heart to talk to you guys about the importance and understanding that God is not focused on you just leveling up. And the thing about leveling up is that when we pray and we want to level up or elevate to new levels in life, if you're a man or a woman of God, it's usually because God has given you a word, right? God gives you a word or a promise. It's like, okay, God, now I'm praying according to the word or the promise that you've given me. Then when you don't see any changes happening, it becomes confusing because it's like, God, yes, I'm praying for prosperity and elevation and to enter a new level, but I'm

praying for it because this is what you promised me. What God is placing on my heart to share

what you guys is and to help you guys understand is that even when God promised you a new level

or a level up, God cares more about the lesson than the level up. So a perfect example will be say God's tells you, I'm going to get you a Mercedes Benz. You're going to have a Mercedes Benz. So now you're praying for God, I want a Mercedes Ben. God, I want a Mercedes Benz. God, I want a Mercedes Benz. And this is what you're praying for. You're going to look at them and you're trying to figure out like, God, when am I going to get this Mercedes vans? But you're not the best driver. So you go through a year of praying for a Mercedes vans and you don't have it yet. You also not the best with your finances, right? You don't steward your finances well. You also don't make sure you keep the car that you have clean now. So

God is not just focusing on the level up. God is focusing on the lesson because the level up,

what I want you guys to understand, and it's not even what I want you guys to understand,

because it's the word that God has given me, but I'm saying I because I'm speaking it to you.

I want you guys to understand that when God blesses you and but I'm saying I because I'm speaking it to you. I want you guys to understand

that when God blesses you and says I'm going to elevate you or level you up, God wants you to

keep that level up. When God makes a promise to you, you're going to have a house. You're going to

have a car. You're going to have a husband. You're going to have to have children right god has the perfect timing to bring

all of these things and also god is a god of our god is a god of quality so when god makes you a

promise he's not just going to throw something together you going to get something that's of quality
