I’m confused by ‘relax and take the pain’ and ‘of ourselves we can do nothing’... so which is it? Say you’re overweight and can’t eat right. Do you avoid food(relax) or do nothing and continue with the problem?
@Artemis1 this video of Jesse’s talks about smoking as an example but the same applies for overeating/addiction to eating. It’s the same nature.
When you avoid(resist) food you are going to be drawn to it more (persist) you can try and will yourself to do it but that strain will become too great and you will relapse or worse replace that addiction with another.
What has worked for me is to become aware of what I’m doing. I’ve had moments where I caught myself unconscious of my actions and suddenly felt the urge for desire fall off of me.
Becoming aware of yourself and reality is like snapping out of a trance. It’s quite funny once you understand.
As for “relax and take the pain” and “of ourselves we can do nothing” it’s both
Thanks PPF for the explanation. It makes sense,. I guess it will happen in His time. I’ve tried watching my response to and while eating and it hasn’t ‘clicked’ yet.
Those two phrases mean the same thing. When we are faced with our problems and life we must endure it and move through it, don’t get caught up over reacting and blow things out of proportion, everything will be just fine.
Of ourselves we can do nothing is a reminder that we are not god, and we should not get into our thoughts and judge ourselves, our situations and others. When we try to take control and will ourselves or resist reality we often make matters worse or never come to peace.
It’s no big deal, once you realize you are wrong you are on the right path.
Anytime @Artemis1
It will happen the moment you come back to the present and can see yourself. Don’t give up, it’s not easy at first.
relax in your hunger and if you eat no big deal... Your reaction to you eating all those hotdogs is the problem. Not the eating of the delicious hot dogs.
^
This is making me hungry now 🙁
@csquare so wise! 😂😆
@JesseLee Biblical question: Are all religions built the same?
@Szayel's Pooppion Right?? 😂😂

It actually made me take out the hotdogs in the freezer <:GWfroggyPepoSmug:398570232647647242>
Lol
It would be amazin’ if Jesse could interview the Dalai Lama and discuss his recent remarks in Sweden 🇸🇪. 😀👍🏻😎
I'm not past present and future but I believe that scripture is Jesse Lee Peterson.
@Bert idk man
Jesse: what’s type of music makes you feel closer to God?
I have a question after watching Jesse on YouTube. I see he always says that he does not sin and it is possible to not sin. Although, I have came across 2 verses in the Bible that make me confused on that statement. Ecclesiastes 7:20 says “Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.”
Ecclesiastes 7:20 NIV
“As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;”
Romans 3:10 NIV
What does Jesse mean when he says it is possible to not sin and he doesn’t sin if the Bible claims it is impossible to not sin?
Can I forgive my mother in person and continue keeping her out of my life for good and still receive Gods love? She was a very hurtful mother and has not changed in 20 years.
Jesse, I use marijuana to relax my stress and anger at work. Is that wrong?
I use marijuana the night before work
And I was doing my own silent prayer, and I watched your prayer and part of your prayer threw me of. What should I do?
I watch church
@Colouhmz If you have anger, you need to forgive and let it go. Marijuana does not help the situation; it is only a bandage to the problem. Figure out how to heal your wounds, not patch it up everytime.
I just quit smoking that stuff. I couldn't do it before I forgave what I was angry at. Once I was no longer scared/angry, I didn't even want the stuff.
Why is college bad? Ive heard jesse say its stupid. But why?
The liberal agenda is rampant at most schools. Probably alluding to that.
Yes for that reason it’s messed up
Anything more than that? My college seems okay, I don't think there is any reason for me to stop taking classes.
Depends on what your studying
If your studying something that humans will always have a need for such an engineers, chemists, and programmers, you will be fine
If your studying something like history, which is fascinating, but has no real jobs in that feild, your setting yourself up for failure
