Transcript

00:00:00.000 Evil spirits love attention. They love fear. I've been in tons of rooms of exorcisms and I will say
00:00:05.960 you cannot have fear because they feed off of that.
00:00:11.280 Well my friends and welcome to the John Henry Weston show. This is going to be an interesting
00:00:15.180 show because this is actually the second time I'm taping with this individual. She is a Hollywood
00:00:21.980 actress and producer, someone but often doesn't cross the aisle as it were and come to the other
00:00:27.380 side. She did an amazing life story, a story that's infused with the Holy Spirit and coming out of
00:00:33.960 very hard circumstances, a story which led her to do what she's doing now and produce some amazing
00:00:40.760 shows. We're going to get into all of that but I want to explain the last time we tried taping,
00:00:46.900 I kid you not, all the power in the studio here just went completely dead. She was not surprised
00:00:53.260 because in her life the spiritual is very real and the battles are very real. Nicole, it's so good
00:00:58.720 to see you again and great to be with you. That was a great intro. That was amazing. Thank you.
00:01:04.160 Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son
00:01:08.840 and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. So Nicole, I think most people will probably know you right now
00:01:17.880 for your show, The Advocate. For those who don't, tell us about the show. I'd gotten into the fight
00:01:22.980 against human trafficking back in 2019 and so my first instinct was, you know, let's do something.
00:01:30.880 Let's get this out far and wide and media was what I knew how to do. So there was actually a show that
00:01:36.000 had come to me, gosh, maybe 15 years prior before I was even a believer when I was in New York City,
00:01:42.400 but it was very kind of like a psychic style show about how this psychic woman can get ahead of the
00:01:50.720 bad guys and get ahead of the predators as a detective or as an abuse investigator.
00:01:55.580 And I thought, well, what if we actually, you see those things like that all the time,
00:01:59.300 but what if we do something Catholic? What if she's a Catholic mystic and all of her gifts are from the
00:02:03.880 Holy Spirit and she's able to really get ahead of these predators? And we made a show from that and it
00:02:10.520 went to number one in 8,000 titles, which was only something that God could do. It was incredible.
00:02:15.700 It was even beating out The Chosen. I mean, we were just getting mail from everywhere, not only on
00:02:21.280 what I thought it would be, which is we were providing a very family-friendly show that was hopeful
00:02:27.400 instead of daunting. A lot of times in trafficking, you see stuff that's like very dark and you're really
00:02:33.100 showing a lot of abuse. We didn't do anything like that. We really focused on safety tips
00:02:37.520 and families and basically how to not only give awareness, but how to arm you up in very simple
00:02:45.160 ways. At this point, right away, because it's a thriller and it's a show and people are going to
00:02:50.240 be super interested. You got to tell us, how can we access this? Because where can we get it right
00:02:54.180 now? So excited because we are launching Solace. Solace is a streaming platform that's going to have
00:03:01.480 all movies that are clean entertainment, which we've needed for so long. And so instead of scrolling
00:03:08.420 through 800 titles somewhere else to find one that you can watch or your family can watch,
00:03:13.580 everything on there is going to be clean. And so Solace is coming to all apps. Gosh, Fire TV,
00:03:21.120 Roku, Apple TV, iOS, Android, and then soon we'll also add LG and Samsung.
00:03:27.960 So S-O-L-A-C-E is how to access? You could just put in Solace movies or Solace TV, S-O-L-A-C-E.
00:03:37.940 Like Solace, you got to have peace while you're watching. They say you are what you eat, but you're
00:03:42.300 also what you watch. Indeed. Now, your background in this area is really intense. We talked about that
00:03:50.900 last time. And here's what Nicole had to say. Well, I definitely credit my mom for that because she was
00:03:56.420 very much about always supporting my dreams. And I never wanted to do anything else. I mean,
00:04:02.020 literally, that was my first words. I would look for a stage. I wanted to be, you know,
00:04:07.000 just I had to be there. And in fact, because I was a latchkey kid, I also always thought that I could
00:04:12.440 just that they were my family. And then I needed to climb inside the television, right? Because a lot
00:04:16.560 of times I was living and growing up on, you know, Nickelodeon and all these different shows.
00:04:20.980 Fast forward to because I had been in hiding, there were certain things that I could do.
00:04:26.580 There were local commercials. There was stuff like this. So my mom was always letting me go
00:04:30.520 where they would let me leave school to do a show. And I started in, you know, Shakespeare in the park
00:04:35.580 and my freshman year and stuff. But I was already getting into the Hollywood world very young,
00:04:41.360 but at a smaller level because of the hiding. My mom never wanted me to do anything until I was
00:04:46.360 adult. And I don't think I fully realized that it wasn't just because she didn't want me to be that
00:04:50.440 much of a child actor. It was also because she was trying to keep me hidden to a degree. I don't
00:04:55.680 think I was aware of that until much later. For U.S. residents, creating Will has never been easier.

00:05:30.240 Going from Hollywood to faith-based productions is kind of a big leap. It's one of those things that,
00:05:36.920 you know, people are really scared to do because it's like, I'm going to go from a world of super
00:05:41.080 success to a world of, is there a success at all? What prompts you to do that? And how's it going
00:05:48.160 with that? I mean, it's going amazing because God is my boss now and that completely transformed
00:05:52.880 everything. I've actually had more success in so many ways since I've done it in this way,
00:06:00.680 you know, again, because he's the one that's glorifying it and the gifts are being used for
00:06:04.260 him. It's also, you know, what you put out there, you kind of get back. And I was putting a lot of dark
00:06:09.720 things out there and I was getting a lot of darkness back. So that has to do with it as well.
00:06:13.620 I think that when you have a conversion like that and you come to the Lord, you get that awareness that
00:06:18.440 what you were making was used for the enemy. Like he was basically stealing the gifts and then using
00:06:25.220 them for him and what he wanted to put out there where I just thought it was entertainment. And so
00:06:30.040 the realization of that is that you don't want the money from that and you just want to do something
00:06:34.400 better. You want to do something that makes a difference and you want to be in your mission. I mean,
00:06:37.960 if any of us that are breathing, we have a mission here in life. So while I'm breathing,
00:06:43.320 I want to keep moving towards that and keep using it for him. Beautiful. When we talked about her
00:06:49.800 conversion last time, here's what she had to say. I'm with this music producer boyfriend that lives
00:06:56.040 on the ocean in like a multimillion dollar mansion on the water. And like, it's so Hollywood,
00:07:03.740 you know, like the pool is on the water. And I remember I'm like at the pool and I'm just like,
00:07:08.040 we need to go to church. And he's just like, what? So I mean, it was literally that bad. And he doesn't
00:07:13.900 know, but he's a music producer. So my first instinct is, well, I'll find us like a place where there's
00:07:20.040 good music. So fast forward, I find this Christian non-denominational rock church and I'm like,
00:07:25.600 yeah, like, let's go here. I show up at this church in the most Hollywood outfit you could
00:07:31.980 ever envision ever. I mean, it was literally like Pamela Anderson and Baywalk. It was so bad
00:07:37.660 in stiletto heel. I mean, and I'm, I think subconsciously I may have done it on purpose,
00:07:44.540 thinking that I'm not going to be allowed in here and I'm not going to be accepted. And I'm going to be,
00:07:50.260 um, you know, like I'm not good enough for God and I'm not good enough for the place will burn
00:07:55.060 down or something where I like, because what happens in Hollywood or anywhere in the world
00:07:59.720 is there's a great, great worthlessness that comes to you because you don't understand your
00:08:06.740 value in God and you don't know who you are. And you, you know, you're so disconnected from who the
00:08:12.220 Lord is and who he created you to be. And the worthlessness comes across as pride, right? Because
00:08:18.040 you've got all these worldly things, it comes across like you're very confident and you're very,
00:08:22.140 very prideful, but it's actually the opposite. You have no belief that you have any worth whatsoever.
00:08:31.140 And I walked in and everybody greeted me and everybody welcomed me and everybody was happy.
00:08:37.260 And I remember turning around, like, who are they welcoming or who are they waiting at or who are
00:08:42.120 they whatever. And I sat in that church one time and I was like, this is the beginning of it. Like,
00:08:51.260 this is the beginning of the truth. I don't know anything, but this is the beginning. And my
00:08:55.480 boyfriend at the time could barely make it through even the service, you know, like, I mean, and so we
00:09:02.300 broke up right after the first service, I broke up with him and kept the church and I committed to
00:09:07.980 going there. And it was six months in of going every week that I had this like, Holy Spirit coming upon
00:09:15.740 me, like my first conversion to Christ was like my real like, I like, I know who like God has come to
00:09:25.140 me. It's it's incredible. And I remember the moment I remember exactly what was being said in the in the
00:09:32.200 sermon. I'll never forget it. It was the most one of the most incredible experiences pre Catholic,
00:09:37.540 right? That I've ever had in my entire life. And so unexpected. And I mean, I literally started
00:09:43.340 pouring tears. And I was sobbing so much. And so I was literally so I didn't believe in crying.
00:09:49.640 I believe as a tough New Yorker, like you do not cry ever. It is a sign of weakness. And I literally
00:09:55.660 had like a decade of tears come out in this one thing and everybody around me is like handing me
00:10:00.320 tissues. And the sobbing was so loud that I literally ended up like, excuse myself, because it was just
00:10:06.320 disturbing, you know, everybody. That's what anybody asked me to leave. But that was the beginning.
00:10:11.840 That was like, okay, this is it. I'm going to commit my life to God. I'm going to do this.
00:10:17.320 And I went back to Hollywood. And this is when the real journey to Catholicism began.
00:10:23.080 One of the things that neat about the advocate is that and you hinted at it earlier when you talked
00:10:27.400 about how you had the first inspiration to do it as a psychic thing. And then nope, let's let's give
00:10:31.020 it over to God. You've put in that supernatural element, which obviously in your life is very real.
00:10:37.620 And in doing that, you do portray the reality. It's something that I even find with modern day
00:10:46.620 spiritual films, even Catholic ones, they tend to shy away from what is actually a reality. So for
00:10:55.360 instance, Cabrini, the movie that came out, you know, great film on many levels. One thing I was
00:11:03.600 disappointed in when I watched it was the supernatural was really downplayed. And I was like, wow, when
00:11:11.000 in reality, when the saints act, they're acting almost always in prayer. It's not an afterthought.
00:11:19.200 And it's, it's, it's very much, they get that it's all God. I'm doing, there was a sort of one
00:11:26.380 central moment in the, in the movie that I recall that shocked me because I thought it was going one
00:11:31.020 way and it would just pivoted to another. It was like, sisters, we're now going to New York and we
00:11:36.720 will have no one to rely on except any, everybody. Like I thought, except God, it was so wonderful. It
00:11:43.780 was like, except ourselves. And I was like, what? Um, there's a bit weird, but not in your production
00:11:50.820 here. What you've done is you've made it explicit in a beautiful way that this is a mystic relationship
00:11:58.240 with our Lord. And then the inspirations that come in, they do come, they come from him, which is, I
00:12:03.880 think really special is that element I think is really missing in almost all modern depictions of
00:12:12.220 the Christian walk, the, the, the faithful life. I think that's one of the reasons why it resonated
00:12:17.760 so much with people because, um, I think a lot of people do have spiritual experiences, um, that
00:12:24.260 they want to talk about. And I hear this all the time, but nobody wants to say anything to anyone
00:12:28.980 else because they're scared that somebody will think that they're weird or crazy. And, um, you know,
00:12:33.960 it's such an important part of our, of our, our lives as Christians. I mean, we're supposed to be
00:12:38.840 living that out. We're supposed to be living the faith. And I mean, if you look at all these
00:12:43.960 mystics, I mean, look at St. Padre Pio and what he experienced in his battles and his, the miracles,
00:12:49.960 they're incredible. St. Gemma Galgani. I mean, there's so many St. Philomena miracles. I mean,
00:12:56.220 that is what our, that is a huge part of our faith and of the church. And I just don't think that we can
00:13:01.720 deny it, but the enemy wants us to, that's the thing. He wants us to not use those gifts because they are
00:13:07.760 so powerful. But I mean, scripture is very clear about that. I mean, you're supposed to have,
00:13:12.520 do you have discernment of spirits? Do you have, do you have, um, miracles? Can you do miracles?
00:13:18.000 Is it the gift of healing? Is it the gift of preaching or teaching? I mean, everybody has
00:13:23.300 something. And that's the thing too, is that we're that's God did that so that we could all work
00:13:29.720 together as the body of Christ, right? One person, as it says, one person has one gift. St. Paul says
00:13:35.220 another person has two, you know, and they all have to come together. Like if you have somebody
00:13:39.900 speaking in tongues, if people do that, you're also supposed to have an interpreter. Like you're
00:13:44.520 not just supposed to be speaking in tongues because you have to be careful. What if it's from the enemy?
00:13:48.340 But if you have a person who also has the other gift, that's incredible. I mean, I don't see that
00:13:52.300 used much in our churches, but, um, it is listed as one of them, but I've seen tons of miracles,
00:13:58.440 unbelievable healings. I mean, unbelievable healings. I can't tell you how many people
00:14:02.860 were on their way to the hospital and got healed before they got to the hospital through the prayer
00:14:08.440 and through the intercession. And I think what people need to understand too, is when it comes
00:14:12.660 to spiritual warfare prayers, or when it comes to healing prayers, there are very specific ways to
00:14:17.940 pray for those. You know, it's not just a general prayer. And what's interesting, what the Lord was
00:14:22.260 showing me this morning, which may be playing into all of this. It's interesting. I thought it was just
00:14:26.580 something for that he was showing me, but a lot of times I pray for God's will. I think a lot of us
00:14:31.700 do, right? And then I started really digging into that. And it's like, wait a second. No,
00:14:35.840 we have to pray for God's perfect holy will. Because right now in the world, there's a lot
00:14:42.340 of God's permissive will going on, right? And that's not God's intention. That's not his best
00:14:48.440 plan. That's not what he wants. And so we need to fight against his gift of free will with a lot
00:14:54.320 of people right now. And we can do that in the spiritual realm.
00:14:57.000 It does. There's a lot of, as you said, God's permissive will is there because he keeps everything
00:15:02.440 in being. And when we pray in the Our Father, thy will be done, we're talking about his perfect will
00:15:07.520 for us. And what I always reflect on is, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And the neat
00:15:13.960 part is, that on earth, I think it applies first and foremost to in here. Your will be done in my
00:15:22.720 heart first, as it is in heaven. You've had a lot of spiritual experience we talked about last time.
00:15:29.980 I wanted to throw to that for a second so people could just see and hear what you had to say.
00:15:34.360 We'll never forget this day. I was a Woody Allen premiere, which proves to you that God can find
00:15:39.540 you anywhere. Okay. Woody Allen premiere. It was a Shia LaBeouf movie. I can't remember the name of
00:15:47.100 the movie. But anyways, I start to go on this red carpet with the whole world like caged out. They're
00:15:52.960 literally like, you know, like all the metal cages so that everyone in France is looking in. And we're
00:15:59.360 looking out at the world because and it just it was so surreal. I had an out of body experience.
00:16:04.540 I mean, completely out of body where I was just like, everything is wrong. Like every this is all
00:16:13.360 a lie. This is not it's like the matrix. I mean, it was all of this that I've been told was going to
00:16:20.060 make me happy. And that was supposed to fulfill me and all is the exact opposite. It is all a complete
00:16:25.440 lie. And I need to get out of here. And I'm in trouble. Like I'm in like, my soul is in trouble.
00:16:31.960 And I need to find God. Like that's literally all it and I'm shaking, because I don't understand
00:16:39.320 what's happening to me. So I remember to the ladies room, because you're just gonna splash
00:16:44.120 water on your face, because you don't even understand what's happening to you. And when I do
00:16:48.760 that, I look in the mirror, and there's no one staring back at me in this mirror, like it is empty
00:16:57.000 shell of a person. Like it's my reflection, but there's nobody home. So it is like God showing me
00:17:03.100 that I at this point have been selling out so much that I'm creating this empty shell of myself.
00:17:09.780 So actually, physically, visibly, you saw this or this was sort of in your mind's eye? Or what was
00:17:14.460 this in the mirror? Yeah, it was me in the mirror. Like it was me, but there was nobody home. It was
00:17:20.620 like, I guess what now you would call like an AI version of yourself. Like, you know, like if you
00:17:28.320 look in the eyes, it's just dead. Yeah, there's nobody there. But I feel like I feel like it was
00:17:34.560 just God giving me a glimpse into maybe what he saw.
00:17:40.140 One of the things that that does happen when you make the transition from the mainstream to
00:17:46.020 faith based production, is you face a lot of challenges, setbacks, things that at least
00:17:53.300 initially try and make you question your move. What did you experience that way? And what has
00:18:00.200 kept you on course? It's extremely different. And I remember when I was transferring over, you know,
00:18:05.700 there were a few things that happened. One of them was, you know, I made a lot of people very,
00:18:10.920 very mad at the time that were in my circle, because I didn't know there was anything wrong
00:18:14.540 with it, that I was going to make the best, you know, to represent God, to represent Jesus.
00:18:20.400 And also the faith, the word faith based. I don't, I'm not sure because I'll do faith friendly
00:18:26.700 things as well. To me, if it's not hurting Jesus, I'm good with it. You know, and I think that
00:18:31.680 there's tenants across the board that fit into scripture that, that fit that. But I think
00:18:36.900 that goes back to what you were saying about, I think we can still portray reality, but we don't
00:18:44.000 need to do it in a sinful way. I think there's creative ways. And that's why God gave us these
00:18:47.700 gifts of creativity. Like, I don't need to have cursing in a movie. I have ways that I can still
00:18:52.560 show the reality that a person would curse, right? And I can cut it off right before I can create a
00:18:58.380 visual. I mean, there's so many things. And I feel like when they do that, it's just like this
00:19:02.560 cheap thing. And then the excuses that, well, it was real. So I think there's a lot of things that
00:19:07.960 we need to look at for that, where we're not making the audience stumble. But so that's one of the
00:19:12.840 challenges is really working with other filmmakers who want to be in that space and understanding what
00:19:18.280 that looks like. I feel like everybody has different lines, right? That they don't want to cross or that
00:19:24.120 they are willing to cross and trying to get, make sure that we don't have division, make sure that
00:19:28.860 we all work together as one. And I think one of the things too, in faith film, I feel like God is
00:19:34.460 excellent and he wants our excellence. And one of the challenges that I've seen is it's like one or
00:19:40.640 the other, either you're going to go do an excellent film or you want to do God and you're just going to
00:19:45.460 show up on set one day. It's like, no, you know, that was one great thing about coming is the
00:19:50.440 discipline and the experience. And, you know, you, you, you study it, you, you trade in it,
00:19:57.460 you work in it. And it's funny how people are just like, Oh, we're going to show up. I'm like,
00:20:01.240 yeah, we got a camera and we're going to make a movie. And it's like, I don't, that's not what,
00:20:05.460 I mean, we should be more beautiful, right? Because it's, it's God's, we should have more quality.
00:20:12.000 And I'm not saying that, um, you know, we need to have, you know, $40 million budgets. I actually
00:20:17.660 think that that's excessive. Um, I've looked at a lot of budgets and that's my background is finance
00:20:22.940 and a lot of budgets, like they waste money. I mean, I remember looking at budget item line once
00:20:27.620 and like they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly in lobster on a helicopter from
00:20:33.460 somewhere else. And that's where some of that money goes, or it goes to people's pockets and
00:20:37.820 stuff. So I think you can make a reasonably, um, price film, but regarding that, I think that Catholics,
00:20:43.800 it's very understand. This is something that is a challenge. And I think that any Catholic artist
00:20:49.200 or, or filmmaker, or even business partner will agree with that is that we as Catholics need to
00:20:54.400 understand evangelization. If you go back to the encyclical by Pope Pius in the 1930s, okay,
00:21:00.980 he wrote an encyclical. It's a short one. It's very specifically only on the film industry. And he said,
00:21:06.560 if you do not take the film industry, if you do not own it, we're losing control. If we lose control of
00:21:12.000 this, we're going to lose all of society. And he understood the importance of film. And I feel a lot
00:21:17.580 of Catholics today are like, Oh, we'll just stay away from it. Or we'll just do this. Or we'll just
00:21:22.800 do that. It's like, no, we all need to be involved. We all need to help in some time because that's
00:21:26.620 what's snatching up our kids is the media. That is the opposite. If they're in that battle and they're
00:21:31.740 in that war physically or spiritually, we also need to be in that. The media is one of the absolute
00:21:37.800 most important tenants that we need to be leaders in. And a lot of Catholics don't understand that,
00:21:44.600 you know, we're a Protestant. We'll just be like, Oh yeah, let's, let's throw money at that because we
00:21:48.440 need to reach eyeballs and we need to get to people. But I think that Catholics really, really need to,
00:21:54.080 I think we're getting there, but we really need to understand the importance of that. That is crucial.
00:21:59.080 That can help somebody from not having an abortion. That can help somebody from not committing
00:22:04.080 suicide. That can bring someone to the faith because you're seeing movies that are constantly
00:22:08.360 attacking our faith every day. We have to combat that. There's all sorts of films out there that
00:22:13.380 are, that are good that way. Most of them are Protestant films. I mean, there, there are exceptions
00:22:18.880 in obviously Mel Gibson's masterpiece, but, but, you know, when you look at the films that have spoken
00:22:25.540 to the culture, have done a lot of positive good often, like God's Not Dead and that whole series,
00:22:31.140 they're largely Protestant films. Catholics are getting into the scene, but you're right. There
00:22:38.140 is a, a gap also between the professionalism, which is, is very hard to come by. And I'm so glad
00:22:45.600 that you and others are bridging that gap. Let me go now to the thing that got us canceled last time.
00:22:53.720 Seemingly out of our control canceled last time. I was, it was another great film that
00:23:00.880 had the same idea happened to them. And that was nefarious. If you remember, nefarious was totally
00:23:08.140 shut down for a long time because of COVID and they kept it going anyway, because they knew
00:23:14.220 should they take down that set, they would never come back to it. And so they kept it going all
00:23:19.220 through COVID, having to pay for that ridiculously, but it came out, it came out to be so stunning.
00:23:23.880 It happened to us last time when we were talking about pornography and the harm it is. And we were
00:23:31.280 talking also about, and you just mentioned it again, the not showing of certain things where you can
00:23:37.260 allude to it without showing the cursing. That's actually much more salient, more important,
00:23:44.860 more deadly. When films portray indecency, impurity, things that will incite the sinful passions,
00:23:55.680 it's everywhere. And that is behind also your creation of a whole platform for this thing.
00:24:02.200 Because we know Our Lady of Fatima said, more souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh,
00:24:08.460 impurity, than for any other reason. And we do. We need a place because films,
00:24:14.560 and shows are part of our daily experience right now as the whole wide world. And yet there's
00:24:22.200 almost nowhere to go. Until now. And that's, what's wonderful. We're able to take even movies
00:24:28.620 that had some of those elements in there and edit them back like old school TV safe, where you couldn't
00:24:35.040 show that on network television. So we're really focusing on bringing that back and making sure that
00:24:41.780 that that's not happening on our site, which is amazing. And you don't really miss it. You really
00:24:46.900 don't miss that in the movies. We're able, it's still just as beautiful. We keep the artistic
00:24:51.960 integrity. And again, we keep quality and high quality as something that's important. But on the
00:24:57.360 sexual sin and the pornography, I mean, there's multiple things going on. Because also when you're
00:25:02.920 bringing that into your home, a lot of those things also have curses over them. They are also
00:25:08.460 prayed over in the opposite direction to bring that into your home. So whatever you watch,
00:25:14.460 you are actually inviting into your home. It's like inviting a person. You're also inviting spirits,
00:25:18.520 whether it's spirits of lust, spirits of pornography, the M word, which I just don't like
00:25:23.360 mentioning, but you know what I'm talking about, or any of those spirits. And the same thing,
00:25:28.460 you know, if you're watching like certain horror movies of the occult, I'm actually surprised that our
00:25:33.060 church has never come out with a no horror movies. I get where there's a line,
00:25:37.780 like I think a thriller can be good. But I do think that when there's gratuitous violence,
00:25:42.040 or some of the the supernatural that you're putting in there, I've people have wanted to do
00:25:46.860 a story like a film on my past when I was being demonically attacked, when I had gone back to
00:25:53.960 Hollywood and what they were doing to me. I mean, and we can make a we can make them. I don't know
00:25:58.240 what genre would be would definitely be partially horror. But the thing is, is that the enemy loves
00:26:03.720 attention? And evil spirits love attention. And so they love fear, they act on fear. I've been in
00:26:10.300 tons of rooms of exorcisms. And I will say, you cannot have fear because they feed off of that.
00:26:16.820 So that's the thing to like how much of the spirit of fear is going into our entertainment as well.
00:26:22.240 And in terms of the sins of the flesh, the enemy loves to get ahold of a visual. And then he will use
00:26:28.300 that visual and keep putting it back into your mind, right? So we have to guard our eyes,
00:26:32.460 and we have to do what the Lord asked, which is to meditate on anything that is pure, anything that
00:26:37.080 is holy. And really be careful, because a lot of a lot of the streaming now, you're just watching
00:26:44.140 something normal. And all of a sudden, it kind of comes out of nowhere and bombards you. There's
00:26:49.160 just like the random nudity or I mean, like full or a sex scene. And it's just, you know, I think
00:26:56.100 because of my journey, and because of my journey and spiritual warfare, I've been able to get by the
00:27:01.260 grace of God only to overcome sexual sin. And even in the mind, because it is a renewing of the mind,
00:27:09.780 right? So you have to retrain your thoughts to not even think those thoughts. What's happening now,
00:27:15.380 I feel really called to talk about this is relationally, we're struggling. People that are
00:27:20.700 struggling with with pornography are very much struggling relationally with the opposite sex.
00:27:26.860 And it's very important to have healthy relationships with the opposite sex and to see them
00:27:32.940 as a as a child of God, and as a human being. I'm seeing when our churches a lot of that being an
00:27:39.600 issue. It's like if you if you if you're isolated, okay, and you're just in your own or you're only
00:27:46.860 spending time with men, or you're only spending time with women, that's a problem. A lot of the men
00:27:50.980 that I see break out of pornography, a lot of that kind of spiritual direction that we do is them
00:27:58.800 being able to see me as a human instead of as a sex sexual being. And when that doesn't happen,
00:28:05.840 that's where that's a problem. Because then all you're seeing is images, you see a woman and you
00:28:10.100 immediately see her in a in a perverted sense or in a distorted sense of who she actually is and how
00:28:17.260 God made her she has to be a person. So you don't want to you don't want to separate that. And those
00:28:23.260 holy relationships with women are crucial to a solid and healthy marriage. And I see that a lot
00:28:30.280 in the church where they just do this. And it's actually like contributing to the problem. It's
00:28:35.840 actually making it worse. You need to be able to to be healthy in the public, because you're going
00:28:41.680 to go out to the gym, you're going to go out to the store, you're going to constantly be somewhere.
00:28:45.920 You can't avoid the opposite sex. And so that's a that's a big thing that people do not address.
00:28:52.420 The other things you said there are so powerful, the concept of used to be called custody of the
00:28:58.240 eyes, the the looking somewhere that's not to the to those places where you shouldn't and to pray for
00:29:05.960 to become in relationship with someone. A lot of the different folks who address these problems
00:29:12.180 specifically, and it's, it's, even though it's more so now with with women, and it's come on
00:29:18.740 like a storm for women. But the problem generally was that of men's before, and so much so now,
00:29:25.840 obviously. But some of the amazing things, true devotion to Mary has contributed an amazing way
00:29:33.160 to being able to overcome this kind of temptation, because it is a relationship with your holy
00:29:39.400 mother, who, in essence, is the most beautiful woman who ever lived in every which way you can
00:29:45.800 imagine. So that's an interesting thing all by itself. But her intercession, I think, helps to
00:29:51.260 refocus the idea of woman in your head. But also to conceptualize, and this is actually from an
00:29:59.940 actress who was in the industry on the other end, and she had a massive conversion. But she said to me
00:30:04.900 once, and people have got to think when they're watching pornography or whatever, the woman who
00:30:12.480 they're viewing is someone else's mom, someone else's daughter. Imagine if it was your mother or your
00:30:19.600 daughter. And that kind of mental understanding really does help if we can recapture logically what
00:30:29.280 you're doing. It, in a natural way, assists. And then that builds on your prayer, your begging God
00:30:36.440 for help. Because it is a game in the mind, also a game in the heart, but it's very much playing with
00:30:42.700 your mind. And the evil one has surely figured out how to affect us in a massive way that way.
00:30:49.900 You know, in the trafficking work that I've been doing for these past years,
00:30:53.240 a lot of the girls that are on the other side of the screen, or boys actually are being trafficked.
00:31:01.600 And if they're, if they're, if they're not being outwardly trafficked, they're actually being
00:31:07.220 coerced into that trafficking. There's a lot of things that are going into them even being there,
00:31:13.080 regardless, it's not like they're just there having fun. And so that's something to recognize as well,
00:31:17.740 because you're actually contributing to the human trafficking industry in the United States. And if you
00:31:22.720 look at the statistics, the trafficking in other nations is also our men, like it's, it's, it's our
00:31:27.740 Americans, we are the source of the issue. And a lot of this plays into that. But going back to the
00:31:33.800 spiritual realm in this regard, which is really important, is I think people don't realize when
00:31:38.980 they are thinking of a woman or a man in a lustful way, they're actually also hurting that soul,
00:31:46.740 we are all connected. And those spirits are acting in that manner, they can think, it's difficult to
00:31:55.260 describe and maybe a story for another day. But the point is, is that you are whether you mean it or
00:32:00.920 not, you are putting something spiritually negative onto the other person, because it's not a sin,
00:32:06.260 you're not doing that sin yourself, you're still involving them in it, whether they gave you their
00:32:10.560 free will or not. And vice versa, if you and this is very important. Because a lot of times in
00:32:17.520 deliverance ministry, and in spiritual warfare ministry, it's like you have to break the ties
00:32:23.200 with those specific porn sites or with those specific people, even if you don't know their name,
00:32:28.920 because what what's happening is more spirits are jumping on top of those spirits on like each time,
00:32:35.260 because you could connect, say you connect with a person in pornography, and that is soul to soul.
00:32:40.380 And that person happens to have prostitution as well, or happens to have like child abuse of
00:32:48.420 as a what is that called a pedophilia. So if you have either of those, you can actually that spirit
00:32:56.800 will come to you and you can catch that. And that's why people get worse and worse and worse. And then they
00:33:01.800 want worse things. And then all of a sudden, it's like, why am I interested in a prostitute? Or why
00:33:06.960 would I be even interested in looking at a child? It's not that they just aren't like fulfilling it
00:33:13.240 physically. It's that they're they're literally digging in spiritually. On top of that, those
00:33:18.160 spirits work together. They hate each other, but they're very, very good at working together to bring
00:33:24.100 down a person and to bring a soul to hell. And so that's really important. You know, what are you
00:33:30.180 catching? It's, you know, if you don't want to catch COVID from somebody, or you were so upset
00:33:34.360 about COVID or the flu? What about catching? I call them STDs. Spiritually transmitted diseases,
00:33:41.140 you know? And if anybody out there thinks what Nicole is saying is weird right now, think about
00:33:46.320 this. Remember the Holy Scripture. We fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities
00:33:53.620 and powers in the heaven. What we are going through here on earth is a spiritual battle that's being
00:34:00.760 fought by the angels and the demons. And we're involved in that battle. If you're wondering and
00:34:07.280 you want to see what I'm talking about, go watch Nefarious, because I think that was an incredible
00:34:11.780 depiction of the reality of the spiritual battle. And it's kind of scary. It verges on horror, but it's
00:34:19.140 thriller, but it's also got the real message. In fact, by most exorcists I've talked to said it was
00:34:23.600 the most accurate film of demonic possession ever made. Nicole, final thoughts before we close out.
00:34:32.660 Praise Jesus. Just we love Jesus. It's just so wonderful to have this time. And I just pray for
00:34:39.920 everyone watching, for each person that they gain something beautiful with God for this.
00:34:47.100 Awesome. Other than soulless movies, where else can people find Nicole Abzinio?
00:34:51.880 I feel like I'm going to be at soulless. That's our main goal. But the anti-trafficking work will
00:34:57.840 continue. And we're moving into season two of The Advocate. So that's exciting. But the anti-trafficking
00:35:04.120 stuff is a really, really massive journey for us. And that's at Gabriel's Messenger Ministries.
00:35:10.320 Nicole Abzinio, thank you so much for being with us. God bless you and all the great work that you're
00:35:14.460 doing for his holy name. God bless. And God bless all of you. And we'll see you next time.
