Ain't Gonna Be No Stupid

Ain't Gonna Be No Stupid

By Amy Perras

I'm on a mission to free people to be true to who they really are and to unleash their buried voices within. "Ain't Gonna Be No Stupid" is inspired by birthday verse, Proverbs 7:4, "Say to wisdom, “I love you,” and to understanding, “You’re my sweetheart.” We discuss stupid "situationships", "tolerationships" leading to "revelationships". What may appear wise in the world's eyes is really just foolishness. Our discussions may expose our own foolishness but in doing so, it may bridge that great divide and UNITE.

Ain't Gonna Be in No Legalistic Religious Relationship with God

Ain't Gonna Be in No Legalistic Religious Relationship with God

9:11 What is Born a Again?

10:37 The Serpeant and the Dust - Genesis 3:14, of the curse given to the serpent that he would crawl on his belly and eat dust all his life.

11:22 Even though we walk with Christ, we still will have issues. Trust and walk with Him. Learn Him. 

12:03 Christianity isn’t religion. Fire and brimstone is often fear-based. 

12:56 God was fully man and fully God in Jesus. He died for our sins and fulfilled the original covenant in the garden. 

13:38 Jesus brought restoration. 

14:11 Willy Wonka 

14:49 Unlocked on Netflix

15:33 Do we reap what we’ve sown? Thank God for what Jesus did for us.

16:07 For by grace we are saved not by works.

16:50 Fear is what keeps you from being honest.

17:07 Jesus paid the penalty. Don’t let fear stop you from coming forth with anything you’re hiding.

17:37 He welcomes us with open arms.

19:00 Luke 23:39-43 (NIV)

  • The thief feared God displaying it by not hurling insults at Jesus or blaspheming or reviling Him but rather turning to Christ – seeing Him as His intercessor.
  • The thief was aware of his repeated, habitual sin and his inability to save himself.
  • The thief realized that his sin had to be punished.

19:10 Take off the do not disturb sign

19:25 2 Corinthians 12:9: But he said to me, j“My grace is sufficient for you, for kmy power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that lthe power of Christ may rest upon me.

19:40 For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

20:00 prayer

22:59 come as you are. Doesn’t need to be formal prayer. Just talk to him.

23:00 Keep coming back to Jesus

23:45 Please God show me you’re real.

24:21 The Bible will reveal God’s character

24:58 Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

27:07 The Power of God is still for now.

28:27 His supernatural power is still at work today.

29:04 Kingdom vs. Worldview

30:30 Jesus is still healing today

30:39 John 5:19-20 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

31:40 Matthew 17:21 [AMP] But this kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting. ”

32:00 How to fast

33:12 Counteracting negative interactions

33:55 “Date night”

34:26 We are the bride of Christ | Ephesians 5:22–33

35:55 How God is with us like parent/child

36:58 How God wows us with our children, the gift they had.

37:55 Tampatha has the mother anointing

38: 15 Matthew 14:14-21

And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

39:00 Warfare is Alive today

40:00 John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

40:57 Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

41:51 Imposter/copy cat

42:00 God has equipped us with everything we need in our relationship with Him.

42:48 Speak the word to dispel the lies.

43:50 Pray Psalm 91

44:00 Baby Christians - don’t give up

47:15 Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

  • Womanhood | ADHD

Source: The Disruptors, a documentary about ADHD, spins it as “distraction can really be curiosity, hyperactivity can really be creativity, and impulsivity can really be energy.”

21:34 Tav and Aluf-Last letter of the Hebrew alphabet

23:09 Rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant to never flood the earth again.

  • Genesis 9: 13-17 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living…”

  • Business context 
    • Used on receipts:  “paid in full” - a literal debt had been paid
  • Judicial Context
    • Fully served sentence
  • Military Context-A Battle as been won.

In other words:


Your debt of sin has been fully paid. 

The judgment for your sin has been fully served.

And the spiritual war against death, sin and Satan has been fully won.

2.21 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Rom 7:18 KJV & Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” This is key in understanding God's purpose for your life. God has numbered your days and will fulfill every purpose He has for you

20:00 Spend time with God. Listen. Don’t just ask, ask, ask

23:00 The Big Cover Up Poem - sexual abuse

24:37 “If you say something, I’m gonna let the dogs get you”

25:55 “How do you get the Holy Ghost?”

26:40 “Meet me in my office”

29:00 Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

30:42 Skin Hunger

31:29 How Shari isolated, cut, and was suicidal “God does not want me either”

32:00 Amy’s healing journey

33:15 Performance-based will make us crash

34:40 Honk for Jesus-type ministers, what do you say to people who see ministers like this and don’t go towards God? With every authentic, there is an opportunity for fabrication

35:35 “They just want your money”

36:00 Bad things happen to good people

36:19 Don’t let one bad experience turn you off from the whole church.

Episode 205: "Ain’t Gonna Live Under the Curse of Religion" with Stephanie Cerda

Disclaimer: We are not putting down anyone's religion. We are sharing the beauty of what Jesus wants for us in a relationship with Him beyond religiosity.

“Stupid” Catholic Story - Skipping CCD by “Missing the Bus"

3:53 Fruit of the Spirit Award

6:00 Skipping Chapel

7:36 Stupid Situationship Story-Unemployment in 2020

10:36 Why did you become a Christian YouTuber if you hate church?

16:15 Galatians 3: 1-5 Discussions

What has happened to you Galatians to be acting so foolishly? You must have been under some evil spell! Didn’t God open your eyes to see the meaning of Jesus’ crucifixion? Wasn’t he revealed to you as the crucified one?

2 So answer me this: Did the Holy Spirit come to you as a reward for keeping all the Jewish laws? No, you received him as a gift because you believed in the Messiah. 3 Your new life in the Anointed One began with the Holy Spirit giving you a new birth. Why then would you so foolishly turn from living in the Spirit by trying to finish by your own works?

4 Have you endured all these trials and persecutions for nothing?

5 Let me ask you again: What does the lavish supply of the Holy Spirit in your life, and the miracles of God’s tremendous power, have to do with you keeping religious laws? The Holy Spirit is poured out upon us through the revelation and power of faith, not by keeping the law!

18:18 We don’t believe we are blameless in his sight.

19:13 I am your advocate to God.

21:45 We cannot give love without tapping into the source.

22:00 Our sinful desires can be anxiety, bitterness, resentment, etc.

22:55 Galatians The Word became flesh

28:15 Galatians 3:26

30:39 Love others like we love ourselves (but do we love ourselves?)

32:22 Forgive others in order to be forgiven

38:11 “Over this religious stuff”

45:00 “No Parties” Covid Rules

46:59 Rules exist to guide us to love people better not to obey the laws.

Alternatives to Going Back to the Building in August 2020: 

Instead of risking our lives by going back to school during Covid, first quarter could be a discovery project tied to S.E.L, racial equity and emotional intelligence. 

Discovery Projects/Inquiry Based Learning Learners draw on own past experience and existing knowledge to discover facts and relationships and new truths to be learned. 

Share Your Story: “There isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story. ” Mary Lou Kownacki  

Work by Helping Each Other Through This Time: S.E.L. for staff, self and students. 

16:00 You have a robust emotional vocabulary. 

16:19  You’re curious about people. 

18:32  You Embrace Change 

21:15   Don’t Have Shame Over Your Weaknesses 

22:53: Good Judge of Character 

23:59 You’re Difficult to Offend 

24:30 You Easily Can Say No 

26:29 You Let Go of Mistakes 

28:00 You Give and Expect Nothing in Return 

35:00 You Don’t Hold Grudges

Quran and Bible Mentioned: “Serve God...and do good – to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (that you meet)...” [The Holy Qur’an] 

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”

Audience Comments Answering, “What was some of the best advise you learned from your grandmothers?” 

“We were best friends, very close, and I can't remember one piece of advice. That generation didn't helicopter, but let kids figure it out on their own and I think that helped us mature at a much younger age. If there was a lot of advice, it was so subtle, I didn't notice. Parents back then taught by example. There were also many things that you just "knew", like making money as soon as you could to help pay your expenses and save for college. Sally Nauta Minnix “Same pants you get mad in, you’ll get glad in.” “Don’t worry about something until there’s something to worry about.” “If it’s meant to be, it will be.”  Patty Shafer “Put one foot in front of the other and give the rest up to God” Jamie Lynn Where Can I Find Jodi?

41:14 Find Out What Your Name Means  

43:09 "Far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." Ephesians 1:21 NIV

Servant Humility John 13: 12-17 12 After washing their feet, he put his robe on and returned to his place at the table.[e] “Do you understand what I just did?” Jesus said. 13 “You’ve called me your teacher and lord, and you’re right, for that’s who I am. 14–15 So if I’m your teacher and lord and have just washed your dirty feet, then you should follow the example that I’ve set for you and wash one another’s dirty feet. Now do for each other what I have just done for you. 16 I speak to you timeless truth: a servant is not superior to his master, and an apostle is never greater than the one who sent him. 17 So now put into practice what I have done for you, and you will experience a life of happiness enriched with untold blessings!”

Episode 102: "Ain't Gonna Stand By Anymore" with Bishop Ed Smith

Bishop Ed and I have a conversation about two forms of justice: for a penalty (slap on the hand) but also justice for helping others: orphans, widows, sojourners, refugees, etc. and how can we be more helpful in practical areas right where we are, breaking generational curses, renewing our minds and living in our authority in Jesus Christ.  By reflecting not deflecting, we can truly make a difference by listening to each other.
