An employee burned a place down because he didn’t like the pay — Ontario story. Jesse says we covered it on the radio show, but Hake isn’t sure about that. 1B - Let no man lead your life (0:03:05) - Man: On a woman looking to him to be her leader of her life…? (0:03:49) JLP: No other God but God. (0:05:34) Always have what’s right first. 1C - Man’s Q’s: Religious leaders don’t follow Christ. Sacrifice? AI? Fashion? (0:05:49) - I came from WI to see you today. -Nathaniel… “Tiny hats”? What da! Why didn’t God warn the Jews about themselves? What they’re doing to themselves… (0:07:33) JLP: Pope, evangelical leaders, they don’t listen to God at all. The people who are meek at heart do not listen… They lie about Christ, to make themselves look real… (0:08:44) - Should we negotiate with our future? (0:09:59) Let’s say I negotiate moving for Donyale… How can you negotiate with life? (0:10:51) - Are sacrifices on earth a reward in heaven? We don’t have to make sacrifices anymore. It’s spiritual now… All an illusion. (0:12:02) Stay conscious — eat to remember. Ever done that? (0:13:04) - AI conversation Monday … Real Estate use… (0:14:03) Young people think AI is God, or a human. A young man committed suicide… (0:14:32) - Fashion Week? Demonic ritual, like in France… Welcome to Hell. 02 - Donyale decided not to get angry after the heirloom incident (0:15:30) - Donyale (not Danielle) (0:16:13) - That moment changed my life. I decided I’m not getting angry anymore. It frightened me. (0:16:53) Before the whole heirloom incident, a niece or other gal crossed a boundary, and I didn’t handle it well. Then with the ornaments — after the dust settled, I realized I’d been demonically possessed. I circled back with my niece to let her know I was wrong. She wouldn’t take the call: Writing only. (0:18:22) - I wrote a brief letter, letting her know I was wrong. Imperative to drop the anger: Non-negotiable — no way to get to God with anger. (0:19:09) Heirloom ornaments returned. (0:19:34) I feel like I’m in heaven. 03 - JLP story: flowers, chair, insane asylum in thoughts; Grateful, Happy (0:20:04) - JLP’s story of the lady watering her plants from this past week on the radio show … Talking with a chair — no one there! (0:21:42) A man commanding an army… You are in an insane asylum. (0:22:52) Y’all don’t talk to your thoughts. SEE: JLP Thu 4-9-26 (timestamp 0:35:07) Watering no flowers. Conversation with a chair. Thoughts, not real (0:23:29) - Why do you talk to the empty chair, Miss Alabama? (the Southern gal)... (0:26:41) - She tells of things not going her way. Ungrateful. The noise… I was judging myself too much. Felisha (sp) moving too fast, I’m judging myself, not being grateful. (0:28:33) - JLP: Important to be happy in life. Devil trying not to let you be happy in life. Pulling you away from happiness… Lady still makes noise, but you don’t react — decreased. It’s still loud… Don’t get angry about it; you’ll be fine. (0:29:46) - Alexis: Supposed to care about thoughts? Idk that I do. (0:30:32) JLP: aware it’s there but give it no meaning. (0:30:58) BS = Bogus Speech (but don’t say it, kids) 04 - How to be you? Stop thinking about it. Noticing others, not into self… (0:31:21) - It’s better to be you, don’t wanna be like anyone else… Why do I feel like crying rn… If we don’t know who we are, how do you be you? (0:32:09) You don’t have to be you anymore. A real you… (0:32:55) - I love being me, says Jesse. My friend wanna tell you how: Jason(?) (0:33:45) JLP: 100-percent, the imagination can’t imagine who you are. Stop thinking about it. (0:34:54) - Unlike anyone else, God will use you for his purpose. No identity at all. You’ll just be you… (0:36:26) - JLP: As you’re being you, you’ll see others’ misery. Busy thinking about yourself, you don’t notice others. On your ego trip, it’s all about you, and no one else. Others are not free b/c they don’t wanna be — or they’d stop communicating with it. As DONYALE said… (0:38:25) - Donyale … (0:39:42) Jason, I forgot his name… Stop talking to the empty chair. I forgot what would’ve made me angry. 05 - What is hell? Difficulty with Silent Prayer (0:40:55) - Southern gal: That week of hell, if God defeated the Devil, and there’s no hell, what am I experiencing? (0:42:29) - I don’t think I have the answer. But going through the same thing — brain, thoughts, but afterlife? Struggling with it here. I can’t turn it off. (0:43:32) - Silent Prayer is difficult, says Chris from Calabasas. How? (0:44:56) - How am I supposed to get anything done without analyzing? (0:45:40) - Mimi: How do you accomplish goals if you don’t think? Difficulty in prayer? “I’m still in the basement… I don’t care about you shaking your head!” (0:46:39) Deals with the Devil… 5B - Talking to the empty chair. Nothing happened to YOU. Demons, Pride (0:47:48) - Mimi is talking to the empty chair, watering flowers that don’t exist… (0:50:12) - JLP: When the thoughts remind you of the past, don’t get into them and don’t judge. Give it no room — it’s all an illusion. (0:50:57) She breaks down, I’m here, and that’s it. You’re still believing thoughts. It’s an illusion: Do you believe that? “Sometimes.” (0:52:03) - You have never done anything wrong. “I was sitting in the back.” (0:52:42) - JLP: Do you know nothing happened to you? “Idk that I believe that.” Nothing was happening to you, at all. Happened to your body, but not to YOU. (0:54:41) - “OK, Jesse, thank you.” What did I say? (0:56:23) Sorry, sir. (0:56:58) - Where do I fight thoughts? Nowhere. 5C - Demons carrying on. You’re a prideful person. (0:57:59) - JLP: Demons crying, carrying on, pretending to be you. I didn’t know what was happening either, says Jesse. (0:59:44) - God: I’ll fight that for you, if you let me. Acting that way, you’re a prideful person. (1:00:45) - So prideful! “Jesse Lee Peterson… I am not a very prideful person.” You don’t let God fight it for you. You cry, Oh, poor me! “I do not care about you saying that.” God only helps the humble — he cannot help the prideful person. Why don’t you humble yourself? … Your friend Donyale didn’t tell you you’re prideful?! (1:03:20) - …God only helps the humble ones. You need to humble yourself. (1:05:12) - What you gonna do when they come for you. The Devil hates this meeting rn… (1:06:48) - Pray without ceasing, naturally present with God all the time …. 06 - No effort in prayer. Observe thoughts. Possessed ex-wife. (1:07:45) - Only reason prayer is difficult, you’re putting effort into it. (1:09:20) - … Emotions, dealing with my ex-wife… message from her, a day or two to come to peace and respond to what I need to respond to… If I can handle my thoughts that way… (1:10:28) - JLP: Observe thoughts. You can’t handle thoughts. Do you realize your wife is possessed as well? … NO WALL … Love her. (1:12:08) - … Does God love her? (1:13:32) - You wanted that hell. “I didn’t see it.” Like is at
