We Ain’t Worldly No More

- Even if we’re in Christ, we can find ourselves being drawn back into former strongholds of sin and fleshly desires. The world may feel fun, but some of our “fun” has Satan attached to it, and we need deliverance. Jackie and Preston discuss the idea that we love perverted versions of pleasure - not the real thing God wants to give us. But there’s hope. If we are in Christ, we’re being sanctified every day as God regenerates us, giving us new desires, new thoughts, and new perspectives.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣It's a beautiful thing when a married couple can bring each other to tears in genuine laughter 😂❤!
It really is. I love making my husband laugh.
"If the flesh is fun to you, then you are deceived." #AWord
If you don't crucify the flesh daily, a lot of things could be considered fun, and following your heart is the deception, Jeremiah 17:9-10. heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings
Have y'all ever noticed how many times the Bible talks about fun, entertainment, etc. ? Me neither. I'm starting to realize that most of our fun, pleasure, and entertainment are mini vacations in our flesh away from the path of life. We get on the fence (which the devil owns) or outright jump the fence. How many hours of the day do we do our own carnal, self-pleasuring thing? Each day is a microcosm of our trajectory of our entire lives. Every action needs to be one that would cause Him to say, "Well done" if we want to hear that one day.
@@RCGWho Do you think that God doesn't want us to have fun? Does God not want us to enjoy the world? Even things like hiking and sports, I mean. Some people say God wants us to enjoy the world he created, but what do you think he wants for us?
"Can we praise God for anniversaries?" 😂😂😂😂😂 Preston sit down😂😂😂😂😂
“I’m so glad He did” took me out. 😅
Lol!!! 🎉🎉
"I'm getting braces soon though....." 🤣😂🤣 I cannot take it!!!😅🤣😂
That was HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
I barely held it together UNTIL.... Braces messed me up🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
The way I laughed! I’m glad I wasn’t in public😂
I made the "mistake" of listening to and watching this at work today; I had to hold in my laughter SO MUCH 😂😂
Preston getting braces as to not cause his brothers to stumble 😂😂that’s what it sounds like
one of the many great things about the perry’s is that they don’t speak of their pasts from a place of shame (at all) but rather from a place of strength because they know and believe that there is power in the words of their testimony. so beautiful!
Yes. It speaks to 'now there is no condemnation'. They just share to explain growth and to give others hope for their own Christian journey.
Amen!
The intro to this is OUTRAGEOUS! Whyyyy would y’all cut up like that?! 😂😂😂
Right 🤣🤣
Well, is it to show believers like me (who really want to be one with these folks) to understand, that actually we just aren't invited to this totally foreign language, unknown references, non-understood way of wearing.....uh.....hats for example.....
48:20 I still feel like I'm in a foreign land .
I was deeply moved two weeks ago by spoken word/poem on sin, I wept....sobs. Thank you for that Sister Perry.
So I try again here tonight.
But I am too old (78 soon) too white and too disconnected to any (ANY) of the references to be able to relate...
@@theonlymeaning hey it’s okay not to get the references I don’t get some of them either. Don’t be so hard on yourself, everything not for everyone. But God is for everyone and I think the main point of this is to point us back to God. When she posed the question it was more of a joke than an actual question.
78 is not too old, it’s an amazing age to be at and I wish more life to you!!
Seriously!! Had me messing up my makeup too🤣🤣🤣🤣
“PRESTON you are doing the absolute most. You’re doing A LOT” 🤣🤣
She led him there though lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That cracked me up 😂😂
😂😂😂I was listening to this on Apple Podcasts and had to come on YT for this comment
She does not like that kind of talk at all!!!! It shows clearly!! lol Poor thing.
That’s good. God didn’t save us, he is saving us everyday! Sanctification is a process.
Yes!
That's my answer.❤
I'd say both are true. We ARE savED. AND we're BEING SAVED daily
I was called the N word at the ATM shortly after I was saved. like really saved. I got so angry This time I searched for answers in the bible instead of calling my friends to hype me up . You noticed that Jesus never defended himself during the crucifixion, Neve spoke a word God also told me Jesus went STARIGHT to the wilderness after his baptism. These 2 lessons helped me to realized when you give your life to God you will be tested so be like Christ: In the wilderness use the word. In anger say nothing. I love this podcast feels like a cousin kickback every time.
Sidecap: This Episode had me weak a few times 🤣🙌
That’s a word!! Thank you for sharing what you learned from your lesson!
I’m so sorry you were called that. I love that you sought God in that moment.
This was a beautiful msg!!! Thank you for sharing
Thanks Yall Sending Virtual 🫶🏾
I always say after you give your life to Christ they need to do a crash course of how your life is about to be turned upside down. These churches be so misleading when they tell these sinners life is changing with a smile on their face. Because baby you about to have to stand on business immediately after 😅
This was sooooo sobering. As a newly divorced women I wrestled with the idea of compromising. Every once in a while I have to remind myself that I don’t belong to the streets anymore 😂. But I am realizing like you guys said that it’s all rooted in unbelief. I don’t fully believe that God would provide me with godly pleasure so I flirt with the idea of finding a perverted version in the streets. Love you guys!!
I am yet still holding on to Jesus instead of somebody’s son so we praise him 😂 😂 😂
@@doraedge1182Praise our Lord, sister. In Christ Jesus, may you keep overcoming! ❤
Woww....yess!! I am in your exact shoes
Now come on with this word right here now🙌🏽
I’m glad he has delivered you sister! Still a work in progress for the reverse. But I’m definitely seeing progress! 🙏🏾
Between Preston mocking Keely and Jackie mocking Alicia, I am in shambles 😭😭😭😭
Truly 😂😂😂😂😂 had me wrecked
😂😂 complete
“ bet you won’t fight me tho “ is the most Chicago thing ever 😭
Fr!!! 😂
Nah facts 😂
lol All facts!
“God delivers us from worldliness and carnality to make us useful” Amen 🙏🏽
The way it goes from Preston cooking the lisp to telling her not to cook Alicia 😂
The paradox is intense.
The more I submit to God is the more I see what's wrong with me and my unworthiness. BUT at the same time, I experience God's love and acceptance that is based only on the sacrifice of Jesus.
To feel unworthy before God and at the same time experience, to a greater extent, that same God's full acceptance. It's crazy!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Well said❤
This!
THIS 🥹🙌🏾✝️
If we are worthless, then Jesus would not have Been Crucified and tortured for us...God so LOVED the world, His Created Image Bearer's That He Sent Jesus to lay His Life down for us Died for us... The enemy wants us to believe we are not worthy to be saved...devil is a liar...We are His Beloved's and God is so Compassionate and faithful and we Ger to Choose Holiness as he enables us through His HS and Grace❣️❣️❣️🕊️🕊️🕊️✝️✝️✝️🩸🩸🩸
This episode is RIGHT ON TIME coming up on one year of celibacy now I’m facing temptations I wasn’t dealing with at the beginning of this journey. Preston : “If you’re not wrestling with sin then it’s probably evidence you’re not a Christian God wants to sanctify you through the wrestle” 😰😮💨 whew MY GOD!
Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
Babyyyyyyyyy Please tell God to take away those desires. I know its like mundane but i did exactly that in 2017. 7 years of celibacy with absolutely nothing as in no reaction at all. The bible says ask anything , so i took that anything as anything hehe.
Whenever you start feeling it, meditate on 1 Cor 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Then tell God to show you your way out because His words tell you there will be a way, and help you to take that way and be obedient to His will. Don’t give up.
Congratulations to you ❤
Preston and Jackie are hilarious 😂.
Also, it really resonates with me how Jackie talked about people thinking Christianity is not fun. We have all been deceived at one point when straying away, thinking the world is more fun than God. I must say that nothing in the world has ever given me the peace and joy I find and experience in Christ and fellowship in like-minded Believers. Joining a small group Bible study this year, helped me with this.
And most definitely a lot of it boils down to desiring fellowship, as she mentioned, and I believe at times the resistance to surrendering all parts of our life to our Lord and Savior.
This was a wonderful episode.❤
Righttttt🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣‼️ I’m having the greatest time of my life right now as I finally sit back and allow God to navigate the steering wheel system of my life for once in my lifetime (took me until I was in my late 50’s but hey 🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾 better now than before that dirt hit that casket ⚰️ huh 🤔 🤣🤦🏽♀️‼️ Whew!!) How grateful I truly am for him saving a wretch like me y’all!! I really thought 💭 I was saved for years because I was going to church and reading my Bible ever so often, going to a few conferences, fasting ever so often, giving when prompted, etc…etc… but yet I was still not fulfilled but I was super filled with a whole lot of the worlds 🌎 cares and desires of flesh and chasing the bag 💴 and affirmation after affirmation and churchy confirmations online (The next “The Lord said” Ohhhh I got so worn out from that until Holy Spirit convicted me and I just couldn’t do it any longer and then other doors 🚪 I was asked to shut and I did (people, places and things) and through my obedience, my life has drastically improved so much! I won’t turn back for silver nor gold!!!
@chosen2healbygod278 Amen to this!!!!
I'm in my late 30's and definitely feel more peace now than ever. Only the Lord can give that. The world could neva. It humbles me to think about how God is waiting for us to realize this. However he's always waiting with open arms.
The greatest deception is that there is a “middle ground” when GOD is clear…His word is clear. It’s either this or that. That or this. If it’s not of GOD, uplifting, full of Holiness, giving Glory & Honor to GOD…if it opposes the word of GOD it is NOT of Him therefore there is no halfway or lukewarm that is pleasing unto GOD. Deliverance from carnality is the fullness of joy!!!
Amen sister.
The air bnb host thought yall were going to bring women back but God sent you all to bring that woman to Him. Amen!
Giving up mainstream hip hop and rap or just secular music in general was sooo harddddd but after years and being in the Bible daily I finally felt that strong hold lift off of me..thank God
When God delivers us from worldliness & and carnality, it sets us up to be useful to God!!! He's making us more useful!!!
Same on the weed tip. I love how once you start trusting God he will just take things away you thought you never would stop doing.
Man this is the fight of my life. I hope I can stop before he desires to come back but right now I don't know.
Same here. Its all a process, put your trust and faith in him and let him work. Don’t get discouraged, he’s working!! ☦️🙏🏾
@k.lorraine You make one step & he will start walking with you I remember I use to say I would never stop I’m surprised every day. You have to tell your flesh no. Who’s in control? You or your flesh? Is what I use to ask myself. Don’t give up.
@@k.lorraineyou can. I'm a month free after years and years and I've never felt better.
Same. I used to subscribe by if it’s green it’s clean. It wasn’t til right after I had my first child, and the Lord really working on me and getting closer to him, I remember barely hitting a blunt one night then feeling completely paranoid and I realized not only did I loose my taste for it but my brain and body was rejecting it. Before that I would play like smoking wasn’t serious for me but honestly it led to many ratchet decisions. The Lord knew. Completely free for over 10 years now
Conviction is so heavy but so beautiful
Not Alicia thinking her roasts are over and here come Jackie!
IKR!!??
Amen, Preston. We were saved. We are being saved. AND, we will be [fully] saved. Glory.
Preston said our anniversary in two weeks with his hands up I was doneeee 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Hearing Preston’s story about going to Cuba reminds me of my friends and I went to Costa Rica. We went on a boat trip and had so much fun, but had no alcohol. We also gave a generous tip. Our guide and the boat captain was in shock by all of it because they had never had that happen: 4 American women (specifically black in our case) be as fun, full of life and generous without alcohol. People from all over looked at us shocked.
Right.
When she said, "It's a perversion of discipleship,"
The hit me.
“That boy said acahol” 😂😂
I thank God for allowing me to have access to Christians who are genuinely spreading the word of God. Every podcast that I've seen has blessed me. Thank you and I pray God covers your marriage and continues to fill you both up with His holy spirit.
44:14 “When there is real repentance you move different!!” I FELT THAT!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So true. After losing my grandmother, I gave in 100 percent to my flesh. It literally felt like hell on earth when I submitted to worldly things. Slowly but surely I'm growing closer to God. It does feel boring and lonely but I know it takes rewiring my behavior from worldly to Godly.
God is good soon you shall get there I was in a loop for a year but God has allowed me to bring joy to others with his presence with no worldly conducts an I know it's refreshing for myself an them 😉
I hear that. Same here, and unfortunately it was longer than a year but through college and after. But God usually has to bring us low and into a state of brokenness, in order to exalt us higher into righteousness. His grace is sufficient for our needs 🙏🏾
the closer your relationship with God, the more you renew your mind through God‘s word the more the things of the world will fade away, become boring and the more you‘ll be in awe of God and filled with contentment, feel spiritually full and the things of God, learning about Him, spending time with Him be it in His word, in prayer or worship, fellowshipping with brothers and sisters will give you so much more than the world ever could. It‘s this juxtaposition of the world thinking you‘re so boring while on the inside you overflow with God‘s richness - not unalike the tabernacle that from the outside looked like some old tent while on the inside it held the biggest treasures and the biggest treasure of them all: God‘s presence. This mirrors Jesus: he looked like any jewish guy of the time, wore the same clothes as the next guy but on the inside… He was the most precious, beautiful, loving, just, powerful of all.. the creator of all, Lord of lords, King of kings…
so to be like Jesus often looks like that; that to the world we look like some boring person while on the inside; we have the Spirit of God living within us; the same treasure hidden in the tabernacle.
Same here. I just lost my mom. I read my bible, listen to worship music, etc. but I definitely was living in the flesh. Watching shows I shouldn’t and even playing demonic video games
I praise God you both keep it real. A godly message and we still had fun. Your messages are close to my 60 (yep, 60 ) year old heart. I've been on MANY of the same paths. Thank you!
This is so good! I just turned 30-years old three weeks ago, and my step dad made a comment . he looked and me nad said Go and live your life. I have been struggaling because lately im like what does that look like and how am i suppose to live my life. I gave my life to the lord 3-years ago this year. I dont smoke any more and that only just happened 9 months ago but i also dont go outto clubs and stuff anymore .
I had been strauggling with what does living my life, look like in a godly way.
I love the honesty here. Because I think sometimes some of us who been Christians many years forget just how much we’ve changed and how gradual some of it is, and we 1)expect new Christians to be perfect immediately and 2)we forget that we still got a whole lotta changing to do ourselves still. I’ve been guilty of that! Feeling like my fairly young in the faith friend ought to be able to shrug off an insult now that he knows he should. Like, knowledge equals immediate change. And I can get impatient, because I’ve forgotten the sanctification process, and the fight to grow.
Jackie is my best friend in my head 😂
Mine too cause she’s just like me fr😂😂😂😂
Right?!
Same! She doesn’t know it but we’re besties.
"Where there is real repentance, you move different." C'mon here!!!
Y'all out here walkinnn heavy love thisssssssssss 😅🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not preston feeling a way about you teasing Alicia like he didnt just "promithes promithes" us!!!😂😂😂😂
Lol
Not you spelling promithes promithes 😂😂
Seeing it spelled out somehow makes it funnier 😂😂
I am inspired by this couples Faith in Christ their marriage covenant, their friendship, their work for the Kingdom, and their walk with Christ. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Perry for showing us how it's done in truth and light.
I love what Jackie said "I enjoy purity!" That's so true.
I feel like social media plays a role in what we feel is fun atleast for me . I want to enjoy what God deems as fun and I seriously need the Lord to change my heart and mind . ❤ . The world is passing away
I love how authentic you all are! Being honest that you’re still wrestling. A lot of Christians act as if they’re perfect once they become Christian…all temptations have gone. The truth is we all wrestle with the world daily. If we don’t….we’re still IN the world.
Jackie say run up get done up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was looking for this one 😂
Act up you get snatched up, step up you get messed up, talk slick and you'll fall quick 😂😂😂😂
It's the way she just calmly said it 😂
No lies, this past month I've been feeling like I've been drifting away from God.. thank you for reminding me that i need to keep running back to Jesus 🤝🏾
The same!!!! I don’t like that feeling, but God is so full of mercy and forgiveness!!!!
The story of the Cuban lady is just supernaturally God-ordained. My God, mind blown. How incredible is our God. THANK YOU PERRYS!
I am glad that you allowed your husband to confess that he liked to smoke cigars& that he smoked cigars but I hoped he had said that it was also a crutch or a substitution for weed also smoking destroys your temple, not judging you but it seemed like he was saying smoking cigars is ok as a child of God,1Corinthians 10:23 ( coming from the most imperfect Christian) Thank you for doing this podcast I love you guys I learned a lot God bless you
"Passion for the Holiness of God makes you see sin not like the choice for pleasure, but the LOSS of pleasure"; "Instead of asking: 'is it sin?', ask: 'DOES IT HELP ME RUN?' [preaching on Hb 12:1]". Two Spirit-filled Piper's sentences that changed me forever. God bless you❤🇧🇷
Jackie was completely right about the whole “fun” thing being a stronghold because when I first got convicted to not drink and smoke anymore, I felt like I wouldn’t be “fun” anymore. I placed my identity and the reason guys liked me or will like me is because I drank and smoked and was fun. the enemy used that on me for a long time, especially with the smoking. But I started asking God for help constantly and asking Him to change Me and SLOWLY but surely He has. My encouragement to whoever reading this is, NEVER stop seeking His face, no matter how many times you fall-He will change your life for the better. 🙏🏽 GREAT ESPISODE 🫶🏽🕊️
"Your definition of fun is off" Whew!!! This was so good!
The ratchetness/music references/jokes 😭😭😭 as a millennial, this has been the most relatable episode 🤣❤️
I love how goofy you both are. You guys are amazing. "You are an ignorant man" my favorite
❤️🔥 Beautiful ❤️🔥 My desire is to have the whole world listen to this podcast in their language. They would be so encouraged. 💞
I just did this crying😭I was literally feeling spirits of the world attacking me and I was fiiighting for my life like seriously.
I’m SO happy for “it’s the saints and the aints 💃🏽”
25:41 what a beautiful story! 😭 God sent you all there for that one person. I strongly believe God doesn’t do anything with a singular purpose. Even when he came to earth. He came to teach His ways and die for us. His work is so beautiful.
“We are being confirmed to the image of Christ” Amen 🙏🏽
“Can we thank God for anniversaries?” 😂🤣👏🏽
Hello! 😭🔥
😂😂😂
I always like to ask myself, “is it wise?”
The ad libs to the Old Navy story is SENDING ME😂
Y'all my online christian friends in my head😭Man, this was sooo good!
Before I got saved I went to the club on Thurs-Sunday
And yes I got saved the next day after being the last one dancing on the floor to Lil-Kim 🤣🤣
Music and the clubs he removed me from asap !
I was so glad when I go saved my sister took me to Christian open mics and Christian concerts she was so wise she knew I needed to keep experiencing the arts
I love how Jackie be cheering her husband on! Love that!
He is SAVING us. Whew! I needed this.
These 2 never cease to crack us up, even when talking about holy stuff. Now that's balance 😊
I pray psalms 51 everyday! It’s one of my favorite scriptures
So good!
What i absolutely love is how she reference the SCRIPTURES!!!
This came out at the perfect time. I'm in a fleshly struggle at this moment in my life, and the scriptures ya'll pointed out are great reminders. I especially loved Psalm 51:10-12. Thank you God for speaking to me through Jackie and Preston in Jesus name! God Bless you guys with even more wisdom. ♥♥
You chased a 60 year old man around Old Navy; Your name is now Presston.
PRESSton 😂😂 this went over a lot of peoples heads
😅😅😅😅
Pressure Preston😂😂😂😂
Preston’s laugh is so contagious
🙏🏽👌🏾👌🏾 thank you guys for this episode i needed this, especially the anger section.. dealing with a coworker now that i want to beat the crap out of, they continue to disrespect me and i ignore them every morning, as a man that is hard to do. I ask the lord for help and strength and to fight my battles
loved this; needed this; thank you
First off…. This podcast was TOO funny 😅 but in all seriousness this BLESSED me so much. Struggling in my walk right now and last night I asked God to lead me to something that’ll help cause I can’t understand why I’m struggling or “wrestling” with things so bad and y’all literally hit every spot. I thank God for his goodness and his grace. I missed these podcast so much. Bless you both and your beautiful spirits.
You guys are great!! I was introduced to Preston via his Apologetics to JWs, but Jackie is such a gem to the younger generation. I love the show, the conversations, and the dedication you guys have together to Christ ❤
This is just what I needed to hear, so good!
Ive watched every single episode and I thank God you guys made a new one cs i just started rewatching the old ones 😭
Mannnn. This conversation blessed me. Thank you!
The story Preston shared about him and his friends in Cuba nearly brought me into tears. Beautiful way of showing how you can be in community with fellow creations and walking in the light and sharing the gospel so beautiful!
This was so necessary. Thank you.🦋
Man!! This was sooo good!! Thank y’all for the Word and your transparency. As usual, I was blessed by all the gems dropped on this episode.
This was such a good podcast.
Man!!!!!! Y’all were talking to me, this message was very much needed. My God My God!!!! Y’all hit every nail on the head!!!!
SAVING us. thank you for this topic.
This is crazy I’m literally going through this right now. Thank you both for this! ❤
Yall im 23 bring me on the podcast bc I have this testimony of the ghettoness of sanctification. And the struggle of being firm in not allowing the enemy, other people, and myself fall into condemnation. I’ve committed some of the worst sins according to the Bible, so the reality of trusting that God really is the guardian of my soul was an everyday battle. All glory to God for giving me the faith to believe in the person of Jesus frfr but it’s not cute and we need the body to learn how to teach the youth and walk with us how the Bible instructs. Y’all are great examples ❤praying for the family.
This is my first time catching a live real time 😭 & i was watching Jackie earlier. Thank you Jesus!
This is so edifying! Thank y’all for being open.
Thank you for this episode
Love you guys❤️ always feels like I’m in your living room with you
This spoke to me!!! I love your podcasts & listen to you guys while I’m at the gym. Jackie be having me cracking up in the middle of my workouts 😂 Praise the Lord for you two 🤗
This is so timely. Thank you so much for this. This is so encouraging.
Loved the truthfulness of this.
I enjoyed this tremendously! Kudos to you both. We (the truth) must be more willing to be honest about our walk, the difficulties and how we will always/forever need the “Righteous Right Hand” of Almighty God to help us whenever we need Him. He is everything🙌🏽🙌🏼
God really spoke to me in this. I been struggling in my walk with God. Even slightly playing with the fire has opened my eyes to want to RUN to God so that I can be renewed.
This was right on time for me. So good!!
Definitely needed to hear this message
So good! YES PRESTON, the already but not yet Amen
These episodes never miss. Always a gem... or 10 lol, that I need to hear.
This episode literally came right on time for me
This truly was a blessing to listen to. Gave me a lot to thing about. Thank you 🙏🏼
This was sooooo good 😫 I absolutely needed to hear this conversation and can personally relate to pretty much everything y'all said as I'm almost a year into my walk with Christ 🥲 Praise God for the things he is doing through you two it truly has an impact on the community 💯❤🔥
