[{'start': '1.868', 'end': '6.339', 'text': "Good afternoon, Good afternoon.   Good afternoon Good afternoon.   My name is coach Monique Beck   and I am coming to you live and   direct from South Bend, Indiana   man. I am so excited on today   today is Thursday, June The   second, I believe it might be   June the third don't try this   in my head. not to my heart.   It's June the third and I'm   truly excited. I'm a little   late jumping on today I was   multitasking getting some   business things done and I got   a little behind so please   forgive me for the. Being of   escaping me just a little bit   here, but today I want to focus   our Legendary Woman Series on   the scripture that talks about   Strength, Alright, so I'm   actually going to pull it up   and read it but there is is a   scripture in Proverbs   thirty-one and it talks about   strength and that is really the   word that I hear God speaking   to me today to pull out of that   scripture. which is proverbs   thirty-one and I believe it's   verse number twenty-five. so if   we can go there. Together I'm   going to go ahead and pull that   up on my end and when I have   it, I'm going to go ahead and   read it but I want to thank you   guys for joining me today. I   know we've been on this series   and on this subject for quite   some time for the last couple   of months and God has me here   in this vein for a specific   purpose and I know for me   specifically, I know that I'm   called to help women to move   forward in the things that they   are trying to get done right   whether or not that be   business. writing a book right.   Losing weight, Whatever your   goal is, I know that I am that   one that can help you to   achieve those things that you   are working on and so God has   me in this vein and I'm going   now to Proverbs Thirty-one and   I believe it's now going to be   in verse number twenty-five and   it says here that strength and   honour are her clothing and she   shall rejoice in time to come.   so Strength The subject today   is strength and I truly believe   that for any woman or or. Let   me fix this because this is   going to drive me crazy for   anyone who's on the broadcast   today you can definitely attest   to that we are in a society now   where whereas everybody is   strong right, the strong only   the strong survive right   everybody like everybody's   state, they're saying like the   name of their city and they're   saying like you know South Bend   strong all these things right,   but I want to give you a word   from the lord today The Bible   says that it's in our weakness   that God's strength will be   made perfect and so we don't   have to be. Wrong all the time   right, there are going to be   some areas where we're going to   be just a little bit weak right   there are going to be some   areas that we're going to be a   little bit weakened not feel as   adequate as we should be or as   we should feel in those moments   and I love the fact that the   Scripture pulls out the fact   that strength and honour are   her clothing and she shall   rejoice in time to come. so   guess what she had to put on   strength right and she had to.   Mindfully right put this thing   on so that lets you know that   it's not something that she   specifically had within her at   all times where she had to put   this on and what is that   strength? That is the strength   of the lord and so whatever it   is that God is calling you to   whatever it is that God is   burdening you with and telling   you listen, I need you to do   this. You have to know that   God's strength is way better   way. It's more superior than.   Strength that we could ever   have right, I know we talk   about this quite often and we   know that. what is the word?   I'm looking for this escaped   me. now we we talk about this   quite often and we know that   when it comes to people. I'm   sorry, I'm now I'm getting   distractions. I'm getting texts   and I'm supposed to be on the   live. Okay. So let me run that   back for you. Let me run that   back and so we know that   anything. God is asking us to   do he's going to give us a way   to get that done. I say that   all the time some of these   things I say consistently and   repetitively because I believe   that you need to hear it right   and so yes, God has given us   all these things to do, but he   never intended for us to get   this done alone and so there   are going to be areas where   we're going to be just a little   bit weak and we don't have all   the tools and we don't know all   the things to do and that's   that's where God can move   right. He can operate in that   thing. He didn't come for a   perfect person right he came to   make us whole. He makes us   whole and so we're not expected   to have all of the things that   we think we need to have in   order to move forward in life   in general right and so   Strength can be looked upon in   so many different ways and   there's so many different types   of strength right. so when we   think about our mind, we think   about all of the things that   our eye gates are are viewing   every single day. We're looking   at the news right. Looking at   things on social media, we're   looking at all types of   different things that have an   opportunity to influence our   life either negatively or   positively right and so we're   constantly having these things   feed us and feed us day in and   day out and now we're looking   and we're like oh my gosh. my   mind is going here. My mind is   always racing. my mind is   always moving even when I'm   trying to go to sleep at night   or even when I'm trying to   pray, I'm having a really hard   time focusing on. Because I've   been allowing all of these   things to feed me all day long   right, so we know that we have   to be mentally tough and   sometimes we have to put things   down so that we can focus on   what's important so that we can   focus on what the journey is   ahead of us right but yet we're   consistently and constantly   allowing these things to feed   us. and so now we're wondering   why we're always speaking   negatively and not speaking   positively. Wondering why we   can't get a prayer through   because we're not really even   praying so we allow all these   different distractions to come   upon us and and some of these   distractions are things that we   welcome in and so while we're   trying to have strength on one   hand, we're super weak because   we're not even building up this   this muscle of strength. We're   not even allowing this thing to   be built up. We're not allowing   what's the word I'm looking for   I can't think of. Now, but we   have to exercise this thing   this muscle right we have to   strengthen this muscle and so   when it comes to mental things   we want to be strong mentally   but in certain areas, we're   leaving those things uncovered   and so different things can sip   in can come in right we can get   a thought and and and once we   get that thought we have that   thought it's going. it's going   it's going and before you know   it, we're gone. We're going   with the thought and we're   truly. That this is the truth   when it's really just our   perception and so when we talk   about being clothed with   strength, it's not just   physical strength right. It's   not just physical strength, but   it is that mental strength. we   have to work that mental   strength see the enemy comes   but to steal kill and destroy   and if he can destroy you   mentally the body goes along   with it right our minds see we   our decision making and all the   things that we do it all has to   come from here it all has to   come from here right. And so,   as we're thinking about a thing   and we're focusing on the thing   now all of a sudden, this thing   becomes our reality and our   truth and so we make our   decisions based on what we feel   or what we see happening, but   we may not necessarily be   considering the fact that we   don't have all of the input   that we don't have all of the   data. We don't realize that   listen. I'm just one person.   There's no way that I can know   everything that somebody else   is thinking. Me get started on   my family get started my   business, but sometimes we get   stuck right there right and we   focus in on that thing and that   very thing could hinder us for   a certain period of time And so   when we're talking about being   mentally strong and mentally   tough, you have to understand   and know that with life they're   going to come some challenges   with life. There's going to   come some things that we don't   like some things that we didn't   sign up for and guess what if   we. Had an opportunity to say   you know what I don't want to   go through this and this is   going to drive me nuts. I'm   telling you right, I don't want   to go through this. I don't   want to go through that right.   I don't want to go through   abuse. I don't want to go   through people talking about   me. I I don't want to go   through my children.   disrespecting me. I don't want   to go through being fired from   a job. I don't want to go   through not having enough money   to pay my bills. I don't want   to go through any of that. just   give me all the good stuff God   and I'm and I'm going to be   cool. I don't want to. I don't   want to have to worry about the   negative. Stuff and if I have   my choice, then I wouldn't   choose any of that right but   see God God is wise. He   definitely knows what we can   handle. He definitely knows   what we can handle right and he   will never allow us to go   through something that we can't   come through, He will never   allow us to go through   something that we can't come   through, however. he will allow   some things to happen that we   said we wanted to do and he   will say. Amen, right, whatever   is loosed in heaven will be be   loose on earth and vice versa.   And so if you're saying you   know, I want to be I want to be   yoked up with a man who is not   a believer and I know that I'm   a believer, he would say, okay   to that he will allow you to do   that. why because he is a   gentleman, he's not going to   force his hand. He's not going   to force his beliefs on you. He   is not going to do what he will   allow you to do whatever it is   that you're going to do and   then. You gotta deal with the   repercussions of whatever your   decisions were right and so   when we're talking about being   mentally mentally mentally   strong and mentally tough, we   have to understand that there   are going to be some things   that are going to come to   challenge our belief systems.   Some things are going to come   to challenge what we believe   what we think right what we   have been focusing on. We're   going to have there's going to   be some things that come to   challenge us as people it's   going to challenge everything   within us everything. US it's   going to be shaken at one point   or another and so we can say   yes, I would never do this so I   would never do that. but you   don't know what you'll do until   you actually get in that   situation and now that's where   your strength is going to be   tested right but if we remember   this scripture the scripture   that says that it is in my   weakness that God's strength is   perfected and so if I realized   man God, this is a moment of   weakness for me. I really need   you. Now and now we're   recognizing that one we have to   stay connected to the source   and so as we stay connected to   the source we can call upon God   while he is yet near and we can   ask him. God. I need your help   with this right now. I don't   know what to do right. I am   this is a moment of weakness   for me right. I'm at a I'm in a   place where II feel truly like   I'm depressed and God will   literally show up on your   behalf and say you know what my   daughter. It's okay. I got you   I got. It's alright, I just   need you to rest in me and   focus on the positive things   right all all those things that   are good. those things that are   lovely. I want you to focus on   those things don't focus on the   negative the negativity that's   happening around you in your   business at your job and your   family, but I want you to focus   on me right and I love the fact   that God is gives us a way of   escape He always gives us a way   of escape. alright and so   thinking. Out that strength and   and knowing that God's strength   is made perfect in our weakness   just embrace your weakness.   Embrace your weakness and no   listen, you are not god We are   not god we have to depend on   one that is perfect, but we are   not yet perfect. so we depend   on a perfect god to provide all   of our needs and that includes   our strength right but knowing.   Fact. Knowing also that I am an   active participant when it   comes to my strength, I am an   active participant when it   comes to me being mentally   tough right and so when trouble   comes, I can't be the one   that's always going to duck   down and hide and hide from   trouble when trouble comes see   when trouble comes, I truly   believe that is an opportunity   for God to show up on your   behalf. It is an. For God to   show up on your behalf right   and so we have to just know   that God is with us and God is   for us and whatever it is that   we are going through that he is   right there in it with us. He   will never leave us nor forsake   us right and so we are talking   about Strength today and I'm   going to wrap it up because I   have another meeting that I   have to get to, but I wanted to   come on here today to just talk   a little bit about what God   dropped in my spirit concerning   this part of the legend. Woman   about the strength her strength   right her strength and and what   the Scriptures say, let's read   it one more time the Scripture   says in Proverbs thirty-one and   twenty-five, it says strengthen   and honour are her clothing and   she shall rejoice in time to   come strength and honor are her   clothing and she shall rejoice   in time to come so regardless   of what she is dealing with one   she already has the victory.   It's in the Scriptures, she   shall. Joyce in time to come so   it just let you know that   whatever it is that you're   experiencing it is temporary   because guess what you're going   to rejoice in due time you're   going to rejoice in due time,   but you just gotta put on that   strength right and allows God's   strength to be made perfect in   your weakness. so I don't care   what it is that you are going   through whatever you are   facing, you have to know that   we serve a god that can do all   things see. Even when the enemy   wants to come in like the flood   right like the Bible says that   the enemy comes in like a   flood, God will set up a   standard that he cannot pass.   God sets up a standard that he   cannot pass right. Jesus is   literally sitting on top of the   flood. He's saying peace be   still you can't go any higher   than this. You can't tell you   can't turn up more than this   right because see God loves us   with an everlasting love. and   it's something that we could   never even imagine. It's   something that can't even   comprehend this type of. Of We   can never comprehend the type   of love that God has for his   children you will never be able   to even describe it. It's   indescribable. it's   indescribable. can you just   imagine? you as a mother one of   your children is in danger? and   they call you on the phone.   They say mom. I need your help.   I have you know this going on   you know I just got hit by a   car whatever. and now. They can   even say what's going on you   don't you in the car and you   headed to their location.   You're like where you at. I   don't even know where I'm   driving. So where are you? I'm   I'm coming right now. just   imagine that on a thousand and   I'm talking about God now on a   thousand we say God I need your   help. I need I need you right   now because I'm I'm in a moment   of weakness and I don't know   what I'm going to do and guess   what he is right there right on   time right when we need him.   It's it's it's a beautiful   thing to have that relationship   with God right and that we   don't have to be strong in our   own in our own minds we can   depend on the strength of God   and I'm not saying to just wake   up and be like you know what I   ain't got to say no to nothing.   God is going to show up and he   going to knock this down for me   and I don't have to worry about   being strong in these moments.   I'm not talking about that   right. I'm talking about God's   strength being made perfect in   our weakness so in our weak.   I'm talking about in a time   where you know what you you   really want to do right, but   it's hard for you to do right   in this moment you really want   to continue on with your   business but you're having some   some chant like a change of   heart like you know the   business is not going great and   now you just feel like you want   to quit right. Those are the   moments and it's not to say   okay I truly. I'm talking about   considering quitting, I'm   talking about considering a   thing so the very mere fact   that you're considering a thing   lets you know that you haven't   even done it yet to God be the   glory whatever it is right   that's going to take your life   to a whole another level in a   negative way you might be   considering it, but you haven't   done it yet. that's the   opportunity that is the moment   and you say, okay, God man I   need. Now, I need your help. I   need your guidance I need to   know what I need to do. I need   your strategy. I need something   right. that is the strength of   God. see God is omnipotent He   is all powerful. There's   nothing that he cannot do and   so we have to remember who we   have who he is what he   represents. He is Strength   right and so the legendary   Woman could never be as strong   as she is without God period.   Right and that's the I think   that's the whole point of today   and just to say that listen you   can only be strong on your own   for so long. your strength is   limited You need a supernatural   strength right you need a   supernatural strength that is   like no other a strength that   can pull you out of the fire   when the fire has been turned   up, seven and ten times hotter   than any other fire, something   that people have never   experienced. but now you find   yourself. In this position, and   you know only God can do this,   you knowing that only God can   deliver me Only God can pull me   out of this. That is the type   of strength that I'm talking   about right. Do you remember   when Daniel was in? That fiery   pit do you remember that and   that fire was turned up, hotter   and hotter and hotter and   hotter, But then Jesus was in   there with him. Do you remember   that story and they came out?   They didn't even smell like   smoke. That's crazy. How do you   go in the fire? You're in the   fire you're walking around in   the fire but yet you come out   and nothing is going on there   is no there is no evidence that   you were ever in the fire see   that is the relationship and   the strength I'm talking about   that is the. That we serve who   will show up in a situation   where you know there is nothing   that anybody can do. you know   that there's nothing that   anybody can do and as a matter   of fact as you were going into   that pit right and you were   going into that fire other   people who went into the fire   died on the way in as you were   going in, but you didn't die.   because God's strength was made   perfect in your weakness when   there was nothing else, you can   do it so. I encourage you   ladies today I want to   encourage you ladies today to   remember that you don't have to   be anybody's Superwoman that   you don't have to be a wonder   woman that you don't have to be   all of these things that the   world is saying that you have   to be and that you have to   carry the of all of your   ancestors and all the people   that came in front of you, You   don't have to carry that weight   because see there are some   things that we're not meant to   carry. there are certain   burdens that we are not meant   to bear. All but when we stay   connected to the hand of God   and we stay connected to who he   is, we can overcome all things   we can do all things because we   are connected to a powerful   powerful the most powerful the   only powerful god. and his name   is Jesus Christ. So thank you   so much for joining me today. I   just hope you guys were   encouraged. I know there's   nobody on the line right now,   but that's alright. I know that   people are going to come back   through here and they're going   to watch this video and I'm   praying that you will glean   something from this just just   knowing that you don't have to.   Strong in your own right, you   don't have to be strong all by   yourself you you have to know   that God is there with you and   he's for you and he will even   send people in your life that   would help you that will   comfort you that will help to   strengthen you right to restore   you and that you're not here   alone. but God is here with you   and God is fighting on for your   behalf on your behalf.
