Emotionally Healthy Relationships 03/15/2026

Boundaries are not rejection. They are stewardship. Isn't that powerful? Sometimes we feel like if I put this boundary that you're not gonna cross that boundary that that you're not gonna like me, so what? I'd rather be in great terms, revoked with God than for someone to feel like you rejected me or you don't like me. No. I'm protecting my boundary. I'm protecting my calling. I'm protecting my destiny. Proverbs four twenty three, God calls us to guard our hearts. How do you guard your heart? By protecting your emotional health, your spiritual priorities, and your God giving purpose. [01:01:07] (49 seconds)  #BoundariesNotRejection

Dear parent, I'm gonna ask you every month. One of my sons looked at me weird, like, why are you asking me that? Because it's important. Do you feel love? Do you feel worthy? Because if we're not loving them, something else will love them. Amen. I wonder is a result of a 10 year old contemplating suicide where I can save the world, I can have all the money in the world, I can open up businesses here and there, but my son or my daughter doesn't feel loved. How many know that God will hold us accountable for that? [00:59:46] (54 seconds)  #ParentLoveCheck

And today, we're gonna talk about who you're allowing in your circle. Who you're allow some of us have allowed things and individuals in our life that we don't even know that they're in there. And that's why you're toxic. And that's why you're paranoid. And that's why you're so insecure. And that's why you walk around in life like nobody loves you and nobody likes you. You've allowed some individuals. You've allowed some voices. You allowed some people that have nothing to do with your life to have authority in your life. [00:44:38] (39 seconds)  #GuardYourCircle

I wonder if we have just opened up this how how many know that it only takes a little gap, a little gap, a tiny little gap, a little tiny I mean, I don't even know how tiny it needs to be. To be able to let the enemy in, to mess with your health, to mess with your finances, to mess with your kids, to mess with your with your relationships, to mess with your calling? Who or what have we allowed to break through that boundary? God calls us to guard our hearts. As in Proverbs four twenty three, it says above all else guard your heart for everything you do flows from it. [01:02:59] (45 seconds)  #TinyGapsBigDamage

Some of us have no boundaries, and we don't even realize it. You talk well, you ride well, You do a lot of things well, but you don't realize that people have broken into your boundaries, and that's why you're emotionally drained. People drain you. Sinners sin enter enters you easily. Purpose becomes diluted. Anybody ever start something and you don't finish it? Could it be that your boundaries are violated and that's why you're like that? No, pastor, but I'm smart and I got a lot of money. I didn't ask you that. I asked you, did you finish what you said you was you you would end? [01:01:56] (51 seconds)  #BoundariesPreventDrain

Proverbs twenty nine twenty five says, the fear of God will prove to be the fear of man will prove to be a snare. People pleasing. Everybody ever heard of it? People pleasing many times and oftentimes destroy these barriers that God has set. He's my best buddy, so he's telling me to do it. I'm gonna do it. I know it's not good, but I'm just gonna break through that barrier, and I'm gonna jeopardize my calling. If you're emotionally drained because you wanna please people, you have not set good boundaries in your life. If you feel in your life that your assignment is to make everybody happy, you do not have good boundaries in your life. [01:33:03] (56 seconds)  #StopPeoplePleasing

I love it because Jesus modeled boundaries. So he's not just talking cheap, he's living it. Jesus had boundaries. Jesus did not allow and this is gonna be a little crazy. You gotta go with me there real quick. Don't take it the wrong way. Jesus just didn't allow everybody and anybody to get so close to him. Amen. But because he knew that certain individuals were not ready. Four people that sit at your table, excluding your kids, name them. Besides the three powerful, father, son, and holy spirit, who sits at your table? [01:09:57] (60 seconds)  #JesusModeledBoundaries

What does that mean? That means that god called you for a vision, a mission, a purpose, and you decided that it was not good enough for you. Or you let the enemy sit at your table and the enemy convinced me that I was not worthy. You ever been there? Right? It's like he starts putting things in your mind. Like, at all the things you've done. Look at all the sins you've done. Look how many people you've messed up. Look at and we allow the enemy to sit at your table. I was saddened today to hear that there's a young girl, actually, she's 10 years old, has contemplated suicide. [00:56:24] (39 seconds)  #EnemyOffYourTable
