Ralph Zuranski: I think a lot of people don’t know what misogynistic means. Could you explain that, please?
Jeff Wright: Sure. Misogyny just means the hating of women and this is rooted in the Biblical story, really, of the fall of man. The enemy of our souls, Satan, the devil, and yes, I do believe in a very real, personal, individual devil as well as many demons, hates the creative potential of women.
Jeff Wright: The idea that women bring life into this world is something that is a special target for forces of evil and the more that the enemy can make women the subject of ridicule, the subject of being demeaned or referred to as a female animal or drive in any way the degradation of women, then the more points in the column of the enemy and the less in the column of those who stand for righteousness and justice, peace, and the joy that God really wants all of us to live out in our lives.
Ralph Zuranski: How important is it to stay focused on your primary goal?
Jeff Wright: It’s critically important. I think that the story of my life or the life of Michael Davis or many, many others on your Heroes site is the function of focusing on a primary goal and a goal being tied to life-purpose.
Jeff Wright: What is it that God is trying to get out of your life? And that usually is something that you are very good at; that you enjoy doing that makes a difference, a positive difference, in the lives of other people. And once you have identified what that is, keeping it central in your life and not being distracted is critical.
Jeff Wright: I believe that one of the greatest weapons of Satan is the use of distractions, the use of deceptions as well as outright destruction to prevent people from accomplishing their God-given purposes. So staying focused and being clear of the distractions of life that can get you off target is a skill, really, that must be developed early in the life of a person who would be a hero, a person who would be successful and could be effectively used by God.
Ralph Zuranski: Boy, that’s so true. Do you follow your hunches and intuition? I know because you are a man of God you might consider that question, do you follow the guiding of the Holy Spirit that dwells in you?
Jeff Wright: I would say that the older I get the more I realize that what we might call hunches or intuition or that feeling inside really is in fact the Holy Spirit speaking to us. We have to learn how to recognize the difference between that and just the pizza we had last night because inevitably the outcomes that we intuitively come to, that we come to through hunch, intuition or just a strong feeling or urge, if it’s lined up with the Word of God, that’s the way God wants us to go.
Jeff Wright: I’ve had many, many instances where I went the other way and it turns out that I should have taken my first impulse and gone with that “hunch” or intuition that I had. The older I get the more I’m likely to just follow the leading of the Spirit in that way.
Jeff Wright: That doesn’t mean that I’m not thinking or that I’m operating in superstition or anything. It’s just more a matter of allowing God to guide my thoughts toward an outcome that He sees as the most appropriate one.
