It should continue for a lifetime Archoholic 9th page 84 I'm Fernando. Archoholic what happened to me was exactly what this scripture ha ha these words say for March 13 of the daily reflections You know when I entered the world of the spirit I have already entered many other ways

1:00But I wasn't consistent in the area of having a stream of the wisdom of God coming into my heart It was sporadic here and there and it was not organized because I was trying to do compete in the world drink and work and Raise a family or or divorce a family or whatever my life was bird it pretty beat up when I came into the Archoholic 9th rooms and when I entered and I finally was able to focus on the world of the spirit My next function is that I started to grow and desire The understanding and the effectiveness that it was doing in my life. It was giving me peace tranquillity and This was not an overnight thing matter. I started to get a high with the most high with no DUI in AA I started enjoying the laughter the joy the camaraderie the prayers it changed my

2:06Speak Changed my goals. It changed my life. It just revolutionized me like you couldn't believe I Wanted more of this cathedral. I want it more of God. I wanted to be help everybody I wanted to make my life right. I was so ashamed when my eyes opened up of all my past conduct my Emotions and the destroyed Herds that I caused my employers and family and society and everything I should have been deported You know, I fear when I would hear people being deported because they were so bad In my neighborhood and I said yep, I You know, that's justice. I had a justice in my heart. I knew That I was not right But I was always looking Yep, looking for different kind of programs Till this program came through a DUI to wrecking my brand new truck. I became

3:13Really attentive to And maybe to attend it to the world of the spirit. I got all the way to the right now And I started telling people you belong in in alcohol. I'm a zero center. You belong in church But I became not a welcome spectacle and family gathering as a matter of fact they don't invite me today Oh, just down the street from me my relatives. They have all a good time, but Sometimes I'm invited, you know, sometimes my brother will feel sorry. He says hey, you got to invite Fernando and Now I calm down. I love him beforehand. I pray for them. I'm and I'm not Badgering dumb Some of them are not even alcoholics, you know, and some are fine. I'm the one who needs help All right, I'm going to reach you something that I like And since this is my time of sharing I'm going to share about

4:16King Solomon my sponsor He's the sponsor that wrote me a letter 3500 years ago Or wrote all of us a letter 3500 years ago And I'm trying to find a easy translation that will that will rock our world Amen All right, let's go this one a wise son here's his father's instructions But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. There it is folks We became wise because I was I was Hammered down with or staple in AA they staple me to the wall and I once was a wise son, but I went into shame and Foolishness, but once I started to hear My father's instruction which I consider my father in heaven, which was my god

5:18My higher power when I communicated back with him I felt at ease I felt forgiven. I felt correct I felt his instructions felt good in me in my heart Instructions with his wild animal the 12-7 the 12 traditions The examples and the fellowship and all the saints that's with my father's instructions easy One day at a time first things first no big deals this too shall pass Live and let live and the one for that comes from Elinon says Why am I talking? Get in the habit of saying to yourself. Why am I talking? Uh-oh But a scoffer in other words a judger The a denial a a continuous sinner a unbeliever he doesn't believe You know very simple a believer believes and an unbeliever mocks and complains and judges

6:28And does not listen to reason But a scoffer does not listen to a rebuke That was me folks. I knew better Now this next one says from the fruit of his mouth verse 2 a man eats what is good But the desire of the treasure is for violence In other words how is influencing my talk and my imagination But if I hang on and choose only good I will eat The proper things that I say So I desire wholesome food I desire The words of the That says that I thank my higher power. I thank him that he forgives me of all my wrongs I thank him that he heals me from other diseases. I picked up I thank my higher power that he saves me from eternal hell from death

7:31I thank my higher power that he's giving me Favor he's crowning me with goodness and mercy and kindness. That's his That's his nature. He can't you know forget close to him We're gonna be peaceful and blessed And I thank him that he he supplies my mouth with good food that renews and invigorates This young man. I say I'm young And rewards me And feeds me good stuff of his planet of his creation By rewarding me from what I speak If I speak good, I'll get good as I speak stupidity. I will get stupidity Ah It's killing me If I speak that You know start Doing what I just said Life will start killing me my body But if I say it's living me

8:32It's living me this problem is living me I will remember God and he will honor me because I'm keeping a watch on my mouth on what I say That's where a rubber band comes in my risk when I mess up and then say the wrong thing or fly off the handle I'll go ahead and use it to hit the soft part of my wrist and say I thank God I messed up I thank God I'm a misfit And I keep saying it till I remember Not to say it so I won't be a misfit and I won't I won't hurt my little wrist with it. It will sting. I'm disciplining my mouth Okay, verse three says whoever guards his mouth preserves his life Whoo In other words, I don't sell all the equity. I don't spill all the equity. I don't spill all the wisdom Of myself on the floor there Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life

9:34Hey, man, I have weight in my system in my stomach I'm growing spiritually He who opens wide his lips comes to ruin Verse four the soul the sluggier craves and gets nothing While the soul the diligent is richly supplied The righteous haste falsehoods but the wicked brings shame in disgrace Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless But sin overthrows the wicked One pretends to be rich yet has nothing Another pretends to be poor yet has great wealth whew The ransom of a man's life is his wealth but a poor man here no threat The light of the righteous rejoices but the lamp of the wicked will be put out

10:34By insulin comes nothing but strife but with those who take advice is wisdom Well gained hastily will dwindle but whoever gathers little by little will increase it Hope the fird makes a heart sick but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself But he who reveres the commitment will be rewarded The teaching of the wise is a fault of life That one may turn away from the snares of death Good sense wins favor but the way of their treasures is a ruin Every prudent man acts with knowledge but a full flaws is falling

11:38A wicked man a wicked messenger falls into trouble But a faithful envoy brings healing Whoo there you go folks To a step meeting right there you hear it you see it A wicked messenger and at the bar falls into trouble But a faithful envoy a faithful AA meeting brings healing Fellowship Faithful to the principles and the words in the program verse 18 Poverty and disgrace comes to him who ignores instruction But whoever he's reproof is honored You know these words are amazing when you use the word reproof and instruction and they get your attention To be the word instruction is getting a two by four and slamming your insides That's instruction and reproof

12:42Is like taking the original carbon copy and and doing it again is honored He who he's the way a human being that's full of God is so supposed to act is honored Our actions is everything folks A desire fulfill is sweet to the soul but turn away from evil is an abomination to fools Putting this simple for me a desire fulfill is counting my blessings because so many desires have been fulfill in my life And I need to count them I help my peace my time My tools that I use my apparatuses my wife my relationships a desire fulfill is sweet to the soul But to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm

13:49Thank you God that there's no fools that are listening to this or if you are a fool But you in reality you are wise Then I would suggest you thank God for your foolishness and all the things that are Causing your harm wanting to cause your harm and you're letting it cause your harm Just start thanking God for the foolish ways and you will become wise in that action And you need it that experience so you can help others Hence your speaker Oh Whoever walks with the wise becomes wiser Woo-hoo 21 disaster pursues sinners But blessings pursue the righteous for they are rewarded with good I want good folks. I don't want the best Good has more categories and is more conservative and longer The best is to me. It's like greedy

14:53We have enough with good God said it's very good God said it all enjoy it A good man leaves and inherits to his children's children Whoo, but the sinners wealth is later for the righteous Now that's a couple of verses I would like for them to see come in my life. What did you Have more inheritances to leave for your grandchildren and have More of the sinners wealth laid up for us the righteous for the people the Silver ones to be sobers to be righteous 23 the follow ground of the poor will yield much food But it it is swept away through injustice One of the reasons I want to thank and and thank my higher source where protection comes The righteousness of my higher power is my shield around me

15:55Verse 24 says whoever spares the rod hates his son Come on guys be courageous and make a commitment to use the rod to make him make Their food wash your clothes Make them clean their room make them make do their Laundry again make them clean up after themselves Uh, they love it. They will love it eventually though bark and spit and yell and scream But they will eventually love you because you're loving them. That's love folks. We have to discipline Uh, and that they have take out the trash Do their homework do their shores have them do book reports Have them do book reports instead of spending time with that pad Take the pad away and give it to him as a reward in the weekends. Let him just Sit there and you know saturday and sunday but use the rod folks

16:57He who loves the children is diligent to discipline him. I'm talking to you I wish my parents would have done that my mom didn't have time I was you know brought up as a ward of the court 25 little righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite But the belly of the wicked suffers one The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite little too much But the belly of the wicked suffer it one Thank you everyone for dropping by to my AA has Fernando season I love my inheritance which are words and words of my higher power And the substance they give me throughout the day I'll be thinking about this all day today isn't that a wonderful thing And it will keep me from stupidity It'll keep me from a wicked world that wants to pull me down Thank you so much for being part of this podcast
