Thank you for withholding that which we were looking for.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.319
We're wanting, we desired, but you.

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.120
from the beginning to the end, and you do very

28
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.400

29
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.520
Now we're gonna get behind the cross. This is your

30
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.360
time to speak to your people. Father God, you have

31
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.560
your way on like ever before, as you set your

32
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.439

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.520

We thank you, We thank you, We thank you. Lord.

38
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.400
You do what you do best. We love us even

39
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.719
though we don't deserve the love. All this and more

40
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:51.520
we ask in Jesus name, we pray, Amen and amen, Amen,

41
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.080
tray tray. How's it up there in Virginia?

42
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.159
We had a lot of closure the day because they

43
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.199
expected wind and gusts and stuff here. So really, yeah,

44
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.479
when they have to close up, yep, Schools were closed,

45
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.560
places were closing early, offices were closing early.

46
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:21.159
Yeah, Well, we had a nasty weather here starting last.

47
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.639
Night and it's just like somebody just dumped and then

48
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.960
it stopped. And then this morning later on around nine ish,

49
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.439
it dumped and then I heard hail hal was hitting

50
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:30.919
the roof.

51
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.759
So it's done some damage to somebody out there.

52
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.599
Then we had tornado watches in other counties, but we

53
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.479
got we got the back end of it. We got

54
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.199
definitely got the rain. So anyway to everybody, just be

55
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.120
safe out there. Don't be trying to play like you

56
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.319
meteorologists guru.

57
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.879
Uh, listen to the.

58
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.479
Weather, get yourself protected, get you know, you got to

59
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.319
get all and be on blast with your emergencies applies,

60
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.680
because we don't know what's gonna happen from day to day.

61
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.759
Even though they may tell us it's gonna rain, it's

62
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.719
gonna be a little windy tomorrow, guess what it's it's raining. Hell,

63
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.680
it's raining ice. So anyway, where okay, roll call everybody,

64
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.599
come on, come on, let's see who's out there.

65
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.919
Who's got that listening Piers on.

66
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.000
While we wasite for people to go. That's okay. I

67
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.439
just want to throw something out there too. But I

68
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.920
know the different weathers and when it's bad out there.

69
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.480
And I know people are curious when after a storm,

70
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.079
but the thing is a lot of times that's when

71
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.680
the most danger is because you don't know if it's

72
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.160
standing water, you don't know what you're rolling over. They

73
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.120
could be down power lines and stuff like that. So

74
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.759
just just be careful, you know, listen to it on

75
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.639
dudes or something. Try not to go out if you

76
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.199
can help it.

77
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:47.879
Amen, that's a good one.

78
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.399
That's a good When I was at the bank earlier

79
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.360
today and by the handicap there's the little you know,

80
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.000
median area with rocks, you know, and there's rocks all

81
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.199
over in our in the parking area. You and I

82
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.920
don't want to be I mean, these are nice little

83
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.240
chunks of rocks. So I'm bending over and moving the

84
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.720
rocks out of the way, you know, And I think,

85
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.560
you know, people who do the hedges or whatever that

86
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.560
is need to be kind of cognizant of that.

87
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.199
But I know we can't help with us. Rocks are

88
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.680
gonna fly people. You know, kids could be playing with

89
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.560
the rocks. You don't know, But you're right, you know,

90
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.839
you don't know if you're walking in a puddle, what's

91
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.600
underneath that water, And you know, you've got to be

92
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:26.240
very careful.

93
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.560
So that's a great point, right, Thank you for pointing

94
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.680
that out. Well, we got a couple of things we

95
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.920
want to do tonight. Just excited. God is just he

96
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.279
keeps blowing me away with his revelations, and I'm just

97
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.120
honored that he trusts me enough. And trust you be

98
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.000
honored when God trusts you enough to give you an

99
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.480
idea of what's going on, to to give you a

100
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.120
heads up, to give you discernment, to give you.

101
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.839
Insight to what's going on wherever, even if it's in

102
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.759
your family, if it's in the neighborhood, if it's in

103
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.399
the country and the state, it doesn't matter. I mean,

104
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.879
when God, you know, wants to reveal something to you,

105
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.199
count it as an honor he trusts you with the information.

106
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.279
And then you got to ask what you want me

107
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.639
to do with this? Do I pray about this? Do

108
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.759
I put this on social media? Do I calls from people?

109
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.040
What do you want me to do? So always ask

110
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.800
that it's a great segue. I was.

111
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:24.319
We were made aware that one of our youngest viewers

112
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:31.759
had a question about a certain chapter and and urse

113
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.720
and so I'm hoping I need to see more people

114
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:35.439
who's on here.

115
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.519
I know you're listening.

116
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.600
I know there's only one person that if she's driving,

117
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.800
she does not have to check in. We know if

118
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.079
she gets to a traffic light, she will if she

119
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.560
does it. That's okay, Hey in the station, that's right.

120
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.800
Come on in, y'all, come on in. And I'm hoping

121
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.480
that the young man or young person, one of our

122
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.720
youngest viewers up north there is listening in because they

123
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.639
wanted to get some further insight on Second Corinthian.

124
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.959
I'm sorry, Second Chronicles. I knew I was gonna do

125
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.120
that because I looking at Second Corinthians. Also Second Chronicles,

126
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.279
chapter fifteen, verse seven, and it reads, be ye strong, therefore,

127
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.560
and let not your hands be weak, for your work

128
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.519
shall be rewarded. And as I read it, I read

129
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.560
it and then I began to study it, and then

130
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.600
I let it go, and then I came back to

131
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.519
it because I want God to you know, really, I

132
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.160
want to be able to hear what God has to

133
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.040
say so that we can share this with this young person.

134
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.199
But be strong, And we're going to talk about faith.

135
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.240
And it's funny because that is going to coincide with

136
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.439
what we're going to talk about in the other half

137
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.120
of the show about faith and faith is not easy,

138
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.199
the journey. I have a T shirt that says this

139
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.920
the end times ain't for the week. I have another

140
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.600
teacher that we've created this says your faith journey. A

141
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.680
faith journey ain't for the weekend. I put in there

142
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.519
to go real off the grid because it's not for

143
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:04.959
the week.

144
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.600
It is hard. It is hard, and I know it's

145
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.160
hard for people to press through.

146
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:15.519
Before even twenty twenty happened, before even nine to eleven happened,

147
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.959
before now World War IIE happened, is happening as it's happening.

148
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.240
It's hard out here, especially when you decide to give

149
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.199
your life to Christ.

150
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:29.279
They missed the we're listening and enjoying.

151
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.439
Okay, So getting back to that scripture, by strong, and

152
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.639
let not therefore, and let not your hands be weak.

153
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.879
It is going to be hard at times to press on.

154
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.720
It's hard when you thought you had support systems and

155
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.320
people who believed in you, and all of a sudden,

156
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.720
the closer you get to God, oddly enough, it gets lonely.

157
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:49.440
And let me explain.

158
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.320
Why, because not everybody is where you're at. Everybody's on

159
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.679
their journey. There's some that you've got some enemies along

160
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.799
the way that their sole job is to do to

161
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:04.440
prevent you from growing, to prevent you from believing that

162
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.960
there's a god. He has a son named Jesus, who

163
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.000
sent the Holy Spirit in that order. Okay, so it

164
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.559
is hard to let some people go. I got people

165
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.600
right now that I had to release because you're not

166
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.320
letting go of other people, so you know, and then

167
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.120
you want to come back with the same story.

168
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:21.919
I can't.

169
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.440
We can't keep repeating this cycle. I'm not a cycled person.

170
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.200
I don't like that. I'm fearful. My heart goes out

171
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.039
to people who can't let go of the past. And

172
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.200
the best way you can let go of the past

173
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.480
is that you have to forgive the person and the people.

174
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.720
And after you've done that, you've got to forgive yourself.

175
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.840
We'll talk about that another time, but we've said that before.

176
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.639
I got to say it again. Okay, but let's go

177
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.759
back now. The rest of the scripture says for your

178
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:57.519
work shall be rewarded. God sees everything we do. But

179
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.120
can I tell you another secret? And Misty lee to

180
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.360
the camera. I'm looking to the left and I'm looking

181
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:03.919
to the right.

182
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.679
He already knows what's in you. I'm sitting back now

183
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.960
and I'm coming back to the camera. He already knows

184
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.120
what's in you. He already knows your decisions. He already

185
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.600
knows your choices.

186
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.200
Now he's waiting to see what you will decide to do.

187
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:26.240
Because why we have a choice. We have a choice.

188
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.159
Always remember that we have a choice. So you know,

189
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.240
I choose to believe that in God, he has certainly

190
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.960
proven himself to me. He doesn't have to prove himself

191
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.440
or give me another thing.

192
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:44.200
I'm good. I'm attached to his hip. I'm in his bosom.

193
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.120
He rocks me to sleep sometimes. But let me get

194
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.120
back to the scripture. For your work shall be rewarded.

195
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.679
God sits high but looks low. I love to say that,

196
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:57.639
saying amen, thank you, Mickey, hey, Bickie. You know, and

197
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.000
he also he will reward you.

198
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:00.919
I know long.

199
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.559
I mean, I grew up because of my being adopted.

200
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.080
People were you know, Pleasing people was my thing. Pleasing

201
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.399
people was my thing, and I would drive for when

202
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.639
I started driving, I would come all the way to

203
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.960
your house trade forty five minutes later, only to come

204
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.360
back to the mall near my house because I didn't

205
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.360
want to be alone.

206
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.320
I didn't want to disappoint people.

207
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.919
I always wanted the people when they think about me,

208
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.360
they had a good thought of me.

209
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.440
Sick, that's sick.

210
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.720
But because of the way my life and how I

211
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.799
started out, being born the way I did, and all

212
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.279
this kind of stuff, I had no idea. I thought

213
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.200
as a child. When I was a child, I think

214
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.039
as a child. I speak as a child. That's in Corinthians.

215
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.799
But now i'm older, I'm wiser. That's why you studied

216
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.519
the Book of Proverbs. That's the wisdom chapter. Okay, so

217
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.159
your work will be rewarded. It may not look like it,

218
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.799
but the beautiful thing is to wait on God. I'm

219
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.879
so happy that I did wait. Also, I had some

220
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.120
tough alert lessons because I didn't wait. And that's just

221
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.720
the way of spiritual life. That's spiritual journey. Yes, he said,

222
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.399
the Bible gives us a grace. He said, a man

223
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.799
will fall seventy times seven. Now don't sit there and

224
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.679
count through the rest of your life how many times

225
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.200
you've fallen.

226
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.759
Don't do that. Stop looking in the background, stop looking

227
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.240
in the rear view mirror, and look at look forward, say, okay,

228
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.759
I didn't do everything I needed to do today.

229
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.279
Lord, I didn't pray long enough. I didn't wait to

230
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.480
hear from you today. So please forgive me and meet me.

231
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.399
Tomorrow, meet me later on tonight.

232
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.240
Okay.

233
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.440
Now I want to tell you I always like to

234
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.120
encourage people. While you can zero in on a scripture,

235
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.279
I always like to look at what was going on

236
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.519
before or afterwards. So I looked at verse six, and

237
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.559
I was like, okay, And the nation was destroyed of

238
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.000
the nation and city of the city. But God did

239
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.639
vex them with adversity. And then he says, be strong, therefore,

240
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.600
and let not your hand be weak, for your work

241
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.879
shall be rewarded. So you read the one.

242
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.240
But then it was verse eight that came after that.

243
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.200
So when Asa heard.

244
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.799
These words, he heard these words, God said, be strong.

245
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.919
That was God speaking therefore, and let out your hands

246
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.720
be weak.

247
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.720
For your work will be rewarded.

248
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.559
And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of

249
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.480
obed the prophet that was obed, the prophet also, okay,

250
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.960
he took courage and put away. Look what he did

251
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.399
now when he heard that's an action verb. Okay, he

252
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.759
took courage.

253
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.120
That's an action. He got courageous.

254
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.399
He's like, okay, wait a minute, now, Okay, the God

255
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.440
is telling me he's got that he'd be strong therefore,

256
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.159
and don't.

257
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.159
Get weak now. Don't pull back now because we're in

258
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.480
a war. Don't pull back now.

259
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.159
Because they're a high price and inflation is everywhere.

260
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.759
Don't pull back. Don't give up your faith in me

261
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.639
now because if you.

262
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.759
Stand steadfast and unmovable Scripture.

263
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:02.000
God, it will reward you. Amen. Let's go back to

264
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.639
verse eight. Now, Usa took courage and.

265
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:10.440
Put away the abominable idols out of all the land

266
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.279
of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which

267
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.120
he had taken from Mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar

268
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.240
of the Lord.

269
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.440
That was before the porch of the Lord.

270
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.759
So when you give and you want to show that

271
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.799
you have faith in God, you put away stuff that

272
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:32.279
you know is a stench, a foul smell to God.

273
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.960
Sin is a foul smell to God.

274
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.159
Sin it could be a lie, it could be theft,

275
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.440
it could be killing somebody. I mean, sin is sin,

276
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.919
And I know that's the hardest thing anybody wants to

277
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.519
even try to dissect or to make sense of I

278
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.480
get it. We've all been there, We've all told a lie.

279
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.600
Some of y'all have even stolen stuff. Okay, we've all

280
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.399
been there, We've taken up. Oh this gonna get you.

281
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.159
And now I know somebody y'all saying, okay, I told nothing. Well,

282
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.360
the last time you were at your job, we did.

283
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.919
How did that blue pen find this way in your

284
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.799
purse that you got from the office.

285
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.919
I missed it, and my little my writers out there,

286
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.639
I'm making faces in the camera. Just how blue pen

287
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.799
that you got from the supplies office area at your

288
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.320
job find it way in your car? Did you go there?

289
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.000
Did you wake up that morning and said, you know what,

290
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.559
I need some pins so I might have to just

291
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.679
I'm I worked with a young lady at the hospital.

292
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.120
She been there for a while, and she said, you go,

293
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.519
I s I was shadowing her, and she went and

294
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.960
went next door to the emergency room to get some

295
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.879
safety pins.

296
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.000
I'm thinking, well, she was already overweight. I don't know

297
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.639
why she chose the clothes that she wore. We didn't

298
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.759
have to wear a uniform. You know, you wear your

299
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.279
little jacket if you want to. But I don't know what.

300
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.279
So she got a safety pin. Well, I thought she

301
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.679
was going to get a safety pin. She just grabbed

302
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.559
the whole box. And I'm like, no, I can't, I don't.

303
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.360
I don't even want to shadow you today because if God,

304
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.480
if lightning strikes, I don't want to be near you.

305
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.440
I don't want it to ricochet off of me. Oh child,

306
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.320
this ain't nothing. And do you know unrelated? She was

307
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.240
the first they laid off out of the blue. They

308
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:17.320
started doing layoffs later off. I'm like, I now you

309
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.600
know they got cameras. They ain't gonna tell you everywhere

310
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.159
where the cameras are at your job down, They'll tell

311
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.440
you a couple they're gonna tell you where all the

312
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.320
cameras are, and who is really looking through the cameras.

313
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.639
I don't know if they saw her take that whole box.

314
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.519
Excuse me of safety.

315
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.000
I'm telling you a brand new box of safety pin. Now,

316
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.559
I don't know where you're gonna use the rest of

317
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.440
them at. And not only did you take them to

318
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.000
her bring them to her department, but you took them

319
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:42.720
out and put them.

320
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.279
In your Okay, so let's let's go back the scripture.

321
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.799
Now, I know, I mean I'm getting your home. I'm

322
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.679
try you, I know, hold on, hold on, and the strangers.

323
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.919
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and strength and the

324
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.240
strangers with them, out of Ephraim and Vanessa and out

325
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.600
of Simeon. So they fell to him, out of Israel

326
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.319
in abundance when they saw that the Lord, his God

327
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.920
was with him. That's one thing people cannot stand. There

328
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.359
are certain people, even though they sit next to you

329
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.279
in the in the church, can't stink because they know

330
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.279
when God is with somebody, you know it.

331
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.720
Now. Some of those folks who like to believe in

332
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.720
the illumination and.

333
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.680
The aros and the light you gotta glow all over

334
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.559
you to guess what they see the glove and they

335
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.559
know they know.

336
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.039
I had a young lady who was a witch. I

337
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.319
went to the mall when it was newly built here

338
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.119
and I.

339
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.400
Saw, you know, weaving it out because of a group

340
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:39.319
of tour bus of kids was visiting. So she's trying

341
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.519
to walk between them and stuff. So I'm walking in

342
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.559
and I'm like, why are these kids sitting in the

343
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.759
foyer of the store.

344
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.599
Why can't you get on the bus. But nevertheless, it

345
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:50.440
was not my business, and this lady.

346
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.359
She turns around, so she I stopped because she had

347
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:58.440
an older and I'm like, oh, you're a witch because

348
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.480
I could smell they have a certain stench, certain smell.

349
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.480
And she looked at me and she's walking backwards amongst

350
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.799
these kids sitting on the floor. She was walking backwards.

351
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.440
She goes, I think you need to come see me.

352
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.880
I said, I don't think so. Was the bus broken down?

353
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.880
No, Charles, hey, Charles, No, it wasn't. It was it

354
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.400
was all you know, parked in front. So I don't

355
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.079
know why the kid they wouldn't allow them to get

356
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.440
on the bus at that time. So I guess maybe

357
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.119
they were waiting for the other groups to get together

358
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.200
and then we all go marching on to the bus.

359
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.839
I don't know, but we had as customers, we've got

360
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.160
to walk between these people.

361
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.680
But she's walking backwards from me. Now I was behind her.

362
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.319
Not that close, but something made her turn around and

363
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.799
I'm looking at her, and she goes, you need I

364
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:38.839
think you need to come see me.

365
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.599
I said no, I think. Do you know she ran

366
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.920
away from me. I said, no, I don't need to come.

367
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.200
See you, and she took off it between those kids,

368
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.039
not saying excuse me or nothing.

369
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.079
Nevertheless, that's the difference. I don't want to get it.

370
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.319
But people, my home was the witch with the kid group. No, no, Mickey,

371
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.400
she was a customer. She walked in, you know, she

372
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:55.960
was a regular.

373
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.880
She was a customer. She wasn't with them. So but

374
00:18:59.000 --> 00:18:59.440
look at this.

375
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.440
When they saw that God, they fell to him out

376
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.799
of Israel. They oh my God, not worshiping him, but

377
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.559
the honor, the respect. Oh my God, God is with him.

378
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.039
God is with you.

379
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.319
And that's what you want any day of the hour.

380
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.119
I need to know before I lay down in order

381
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.319
to rise the next day.

382
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.119
God, are you with me?

383
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:24.680
Is it my turn to get up? To wake up

384
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.160
to see another day? She wasn't hexting those kids. Well,

385
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.079
she know, she didn't have time in a station. She

386
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.279
was walking in the store like I was. And you know,

387
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.720
like a Macy's. You know they have the outside door

388
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.400
or J. C.

389
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.920
Pennas and then they have the other door and then

390
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.839
you're in the store. That's what you know. She was

391
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:40.960
walking in like I was. You know, we parking and

392
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.079
you just walked in. But these kids are all the

393
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.720
you know, young teenagers folk. You know they're big. They

394
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.599
were little people, little little people.

395
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.119
They were you know, teenager looking, and you know, and

396
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.880
they had a looked like they were probably a soccer

397
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.599
team or based softball team, these girls and stuff.

398
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.559
Oh yeah, so youah, No, she was walking in like

399
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:00.200
I was us.

400
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:04.920
But the key was that she turns around because she

401
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.880
must have smelled or felt a presence.

402
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.039
And I'm not here to bother you. That's one thing.

403
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.039
Let me tell you something.

404
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.960
You see, sometimes these people who want to always they think,

405
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:19.400
because they you know, they holding everything, that this is

406
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:20.759
their job to talk.

407
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:24.640
Spiritual stuff to you. Cut that out. It's not your job.

408
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.319
Unless God tells you to do that, He's not gonna

409
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.440
And most of the time, most of the time I've

410
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.000
been impressed on the work site at people who will

411
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:39.240
silently realize she is a believer without me saying anything.

412
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.880
I had a coworker that, you know, she was getting

413
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.759
married to her boyfriend, her living boyfriend, and one day

414
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.680
she just came to me she said, Hey, I want

415
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.920
to use some scriptures at my wedding. I was like

416
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:52.839
started at half because I said, Michelle, what you know

417
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.519
about the Bible?

418
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.000
I had to go there. I had to go there

419
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.279
because she she could have been in the navy. She

420
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.240
cursed like a sailor. You know the Bible. She said, well,

421
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:02.519
I do know you have one?

422
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.759
And I said, how do you know?

423
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.920
She said, if anybody has a Bible, you do. And

424
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.839
I was like, oh God, it go set on fire Lord.

425
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.759
I want my Bible back. But I said, yeah, all,

426
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.599
loan you my bible. You know, no problem. And she

427
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.720
incorporated some scriptures or whatever. So people know you're different.

428
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.640
They know they know it. And you don't have to

429
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.079
really say anything. You don't have to walk around with

430
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.519
the big cross. You don't have to walk around and say, oh,

431
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.559
I know the poor fact that Jesus holad. You don't

432
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:31.880
have to do that. You're doing it for attention. And

433
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:33.559
God did Jesus do it.

434
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.240
Most of the time when he was healing people, he

435
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.200
was walking from town to town. Martha got mad at

436
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.559
him because Lazarus had died. They sent him word that

437
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:47.759
he was sick. Four days later, Jesus shows up and mother.

438
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.200
Where were you? We sent word he was sick, and

439
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.079
now he's dead.

440
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.640
He's dead, and Jesus wept. The shortest scripture in the

441
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.279
whole Bible. There's a feeling of presence of about the

442
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.400
real people who know God. Amen Misty and Jesus wept

443
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.759
and what did he do? He had to shake that

444
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.799
off and say, show me where you're lady. Come on now,

445
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.119
show me where you're lady. Man Marks like what are

446
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.079
you talking about? And other people are like, did you

447
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.559
Jesus just says it, show it.

448
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:15.720
Where are you gonna go on that? Dude?

449
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.960
Now you don't watch Jesus bring me a strengthened legs,

450
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.880
bring legs back, grow limbs, gave sight to the blind,

451
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.119
and you're gonna ask what Jesus is getting ready to

452
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.000
do with a dead body.

453
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:31.319
And Jesuid show me where you're laden and over there, and.

454
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.200
I add my little piece. You know, you know it

455
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.119
had to be a smell, but they had nainted. I'm

456
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.000
pretty sure they put some oils on lazarm so he

457
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.359
wouldn't smell too bad.

458
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.599
And they moved on the way and Jesus didn't have

459
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.119
to go in. All. Let me lay hands on you,

460
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.720
let me kneel down by you.

461
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.200
All, let's have a head for the thirty third song. No,

462
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.680
Jesus said, Lazar, get up. When you know who you are,

463
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:01.359
when you know your gifts, Get up, get out, leave here.

464
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.319
The demons will say, put me, put us in those

465
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.759
pigs over there, the demons. Jesus is walking by the

466
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.319
man in the tomb. The man is in the cave

467
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.039
already been, society already been. Oh, don't he crazy, don't

468
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:16.200
go do you better not talk to him.

469
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.680
He may jump on you. And the demons come out

470
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.039
in him and say, Jesus, this is not your time.

471
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.920
What are you doing here? The demons are telling Jesus,

472
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.400
and Jesus like, or is not my time? Is he

473
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.519
not my people? I'm paraphrasing, you have to go find

474
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.680
the scripture. And they said, let's put us in those pigs.

475
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.559
And what did they do? Jesai be gone. They flew

476
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.240
into those pigs, and the pigs jumped off the cliffs.

477
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.680
So I ain't worried about my enemy. You need to

478
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.079
be worried about the god I served. Did the embalm

479
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.960
people back then? No, it wasn't an embalming. They just

480
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.200
you die and they wrap you up and they put

481
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.799
you somewhere, you know, just like the Egyptian type thing.

482
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.559
You know you see in the mummy, that that type

483
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.240
of thing. So, but yeah, I hope that this is

484
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:01.480
the young person's question.

485
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.480
Just to be encouraged. Be strong.

486
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.519
You're gonna take strength just to live day by day,

487
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.039
even if we don't have viruses, even if we don't

488
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.039
have wars going on, even if we don't have inflation,

489
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.640
even though it's peaceful, the grass is green. You know,

490
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.200
you got to know when to push through. And a

491
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.440
part of pushing through is that self care. Make sure

492
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.319
you're taking care of yourself.

493
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:28.160
Okay, So thank you.

494
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.680

00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:01.599
pertaining to your life.

Okay, But I encourage, I love that scripture. Be strong.

505
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.079
You got to push through. Sometimes I don't feel like,

506
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.880
oh I don't want to do anything today. I don't

507
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:11.440
want to do anything.

508
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:13.200
Let me go bursuon by tooth and wipe by my

509
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:16.200
eye and that's it. I don't want to do anything.

510
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:19.519
And then God, then the phone rings, then the phone ring,

511
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.720
or there's something on TV and I'm praying for an

512
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.359
actor or I'm praying for the person in the commercial.

513
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.119
I'm like, okay, okay, God, let's go scripture tray. You

514
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.519
want to say anything before we go on?

515
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.039
No, I'm just enjoying what you're saying right now. I'm

516
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.519
good with it, and I think too. Just always be

517
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.480
encouraged because there's a lot of things going on now,

518
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:43.039
a lot of things on the news.

519
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:46.960
Just and just know when to say win.

520
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.279
There's no when to say win is enough, So don't

521
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.480
and don't don't take in a whole lot of that,

522
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.279
you know, especially if you're struggling.

523
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.119
Amen, And we all do, we all do, just some

524
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.480
of us.

525
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.799
We've made a decision, we've been there, done that, we've

526
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.599
got receipts, and there's no need in worrying.

527
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.599
There's no need because I made it today.

528
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.039
I'm up today, I'm open today, I'm looking today, I'm

529
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.119
blessed today to what I got to do.

530
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.720
And my hair's off, my head's always on.

531
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:17.680
I'm watching people, and if I put my eyes on

532
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.960
you long enough, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna have an

533
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.720
interaction with this person or just pray for that person.

534
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:24.480
Do you know I'm gonna say this a little commercial,

535
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.839
then we're gonna go to the scripture. Do you know

536
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.400
how hard it is to smile while you're driving. I

537
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.599
did that one day so I could stop looking at

538
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.680
my rear view mirror the people who are tailgating me.

539
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.519
And I don't know why y'all seem to think that

540
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.440
because I'm a car space behind that that gives you

541
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.559
right to get in front of me.

542
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.799
No, that's talking into my driver's book. I don't know

543
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.200
where you what your handbooks say in another states, but

544
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.799
in Florida, I'm supposed to get I have anyway. Never nevertheless,

545
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.039
and so do you know, so I said, you know.

546
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.920
What, I'm there. I have my music going, my scripture,

547
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.960
my gospel music going. So I was smiling anyway, and

548
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.680
I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna smile as long

549
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.039
as I let me see how long this go take.

550
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.960
Do you know that's the hardest thing to do, is

551
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.480
to smile while you're driving.

552
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.880
Try it. Try it, just to have a smile, not

553
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.519
showing your teeth. And I just see how long you last.

554
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:17.759
That was a effort. That was an effort something new.

555
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.039
All right. Let's go to Second Corinthians, Chapter five, verse seven.

556
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:24.079
But I got to go to verse six because there's

557
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.440
a colon there. Therefore, this is verse six.

558
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.079
Therefore we are always confident knowing that whilst we are

559
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.880
at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord,

560
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:38.599
for we walk by faith, not by sight. Oh wait,

561
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.079
now that's that's that's that's a couple of scriptures there.

562
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.519
People don't have taken that three pieces of that out

563
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.839
of out of context. Okay, but we always we are

564
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:52.279
always confident knowing that while we are at home in

565
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.799
the body.

566
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.200
Now most people think take that and use that as

567
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.359
a scripture that.

568
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.839
For somebody who's died to be absent from the Lord,

569
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:03.000
be absent from the body with the Lord.

570
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.920
You twisted, you know, Okay, you just got it all

571
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.160
you got you're running all of them together. And there's

572
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.359
a colon there. There's a comma there. And I know

573
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.799
King James wrote this part of this Bible, this particular

574
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.799
periodical this book. He took some things out. What was

575
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.240
the first question on this evening from what was the

576
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.519
first question? Oh, you mean the scripture Anastasia. Hang on

577
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.440
a minute, let me get back there. It was Second Chronicles,

578
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.559
chapter fifteen and set verse seven. Okay, okay, let me

579
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:35.799
get back to this. Okay, there we go. Yeah.

580
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.039
So you know, some people take that and then it

581
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.279
goes back when we walk by faith and not by sight.

582
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.240
So people will take that cluster of words and build

583
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:45.039
this sermon on it.

584
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.680
But you gotta look back at the text. So here

585
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:48.680
we go verse eight.

586
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:51.880
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be

587
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.640
absent from the body and to be present with the

588
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:59.279
Lord period Wherefore we labor that whether present or absent,

589
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:06.240
we may accepted of Him, of thought, of Jesus, of

590
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:07.359
the Holy Spirit.

591
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.640
No matter what state I'm in, I have to know

592
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.240
that God is proud of me that I'm doing.

593
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.799
I've had the three times this week says as part

594
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.200
of my testimony for my being in the hospital. Had

595
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.720
I not had the faith level I did now seven

596
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:29.599
years ago, none of you all would have met me.

597
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:32.960
Trey may have found out in the by and by

598
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.440
Lisha has passed away. Where's chronicles from old Testament?

599
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.480
Yes? Uh huh, it's old Testament? Is that in King Jack?

600
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.519
Yes, it's an old Testament. I wouldn't be here had

601
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.359
I not had a bit of the ounce a bit.

602
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.640
And I want to take a commercial here, Trey, hold

603
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:50.200
yours up.

604
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:55.160
Thank you, guys, Thank you. Pastor Miguel got hit.

605
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.319
Miss Kate hasn't seen her yet cause she's been out

606
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.480
doing the errands today, but it's on her bed.

607
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:06.359
But thank you, guys, thank you, thank you for showing Misty.

608
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.680
We're showing the little gift.

609
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.119
And when we talk about faith, I don't know if

610
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:12.559
you can see the little seed in there.

611
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:16.960
See the seed. See the seed. The white balls represent

612
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.799
the troubles that we have. Okay, you see the seed.

613
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:20.720
See that?

614
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:23.480
Okay, let me no, no, I got fat fingers here.

615
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.240
You see the seed, that little brown thing, that's the seed.

616
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.240
All right, So let's shake it up. Let's shake it up,

617
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.240
and it moved. Just shake it up and it moves.

618
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.440
The faith will do that. Faith, thank you, Faith will

619
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:35.759
do that.

620
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:37.400
And then all you have to do.

621
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.599
And the mustard seed is the smallest seed in the

622
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.799
whole atmosphere. It's the smallest seed, that's all God. He

623
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.559
didn't say, get a jar of seeds. Thank you, trey seed.

624
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:49.359
He didn't say get a jar of those.

625
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.400
He said, if you have the faith of a mustard seed,

626
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.240
you can look at the mountain. You can look at

627
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.000
the obstacle.

628
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:59.680
You can look at the challenge and say to the challenge,

629
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.559
say the mountain, be thou removed.

630
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.319
Same equivalent to when Jesus said, show me where you

631
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:09.920
laid him, show me where you lead him. Lazareuth, come forth, Lazareuth,

632
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:10.839
come forth.

633
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:13.000
And I'm pretty sure Jesus said, you need to give

634
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.359
him something to eat because he's hungry. He's been dead

635
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.559
for four days, he's probably hungry. And other times Jesus

636
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.119
healed the little girl. Told them the mom you probably get.

637
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.160
You get your daughter because you know she's hungry. Told

638
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:24.960
the centurion who said, you don't have to come to

639
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.359
my house. If you could speak it from right here,

640
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.599
I know my child will be healed. She said, like, well,

641
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:32.119
get home, because she's hungry.

642
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.720
Have the faith. Whether I'm in front of God, I

643
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.400
know God is with me all of the time. He

644
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.920
is with you all of the time. All he wants

645
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:44.160
is for you to believe in it.

646
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.480
You could get through all issues, no matter how big

647
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.160
they are. Yes, Misty, you can, but you have to

648
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:49.920
have that faith.

649
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.599
You've got the you know. You can't get weak, go

650
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.279
back to second chronicles. You can't weaken up. You can't

651
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.640
say oh this ain't working, man, and go back to

652
00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:59.200
your old habits. Don't do that.

653
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.240
Those demons are waiting for you. You get cleaned up,

654
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.799
you have a good day to day like, oh, yes.

655
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.319
This is a great day.

656
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.359
You got to hold on to that because the moment.

657
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:13.799
Your subconscious is one of the meanest vessels or organs

658
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:14.720
we have in our brain.

659
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:16.519
Because the subconscious holes.

660
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.319
I love those little gids, devastations. The subconscious holds all

661
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.119
your memory, good, bad and ugly. And when you think

662
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.599
you have forgiven somebody, all of a sudden here comes

663
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.319
a memory or you hear the conversation again, and I'm like,

664
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.720
wait a minute, I forgave that person. Why am I

665
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:39.119
going through this again? Why is this person appearing in

666
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:42.000
my dreams? Why is this person on my mind? I

667
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:46.680
forgave them and they're dady, They're physically not on this earth.

668
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:50.640
Been a piece of revelation about their lifestyle occurred while

669
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:55.039
watching Divorce Court. Here it is years later, ten fourteen

670
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:59.119
years later, ten years later, ten eleven, twelve years later,

671
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.720
this person's been dead twelve years And Judge Starr said

672
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:07.319
something on the show where the complaint the plaintiff said

673
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.119
was complaining about his girlfriend. I don't know if there's

674
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.640
a girlfriend or the wife, and that's something that she does.

675
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.759
And Judge Starr was like, I never heard of that.

676
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:18.640
So I'm sitting there like I've heard of that.

677
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.119
Where's he going with this? And reveal why the person

678
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.559
was doing it, which made him think that the person

679
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.079
gave him more effidence that the person's cheating. And I

680
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:29.200
sat back in my chair.

681
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.200
I said, Okay, so you're telling me cheating has been

682
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.119
going on. Okay, Okay, I still forgive him. Now, get

683
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.960
out of my head. I don't need to hear it.

684
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:40.000
I don't need to go repeat that journey.

685
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.559
Amen. Forgive everybody, forgive everybody.

686
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:44.000
I know it.

687
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.480
You don't understand it. I know even the most harsh

688
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:50.000
things people have gone through. I know the story. I've

689
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:51.440
heard them in my office.

690
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.519
I've heard her the most horrific treatment and trauma that

691
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.359
people have. I've heard it still got to forgive. If

692
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.119
it's still popping up in your head, you got to

693
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:03.839
let it go because you's entrapping you, is placing you

694
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.680
in bondage.

695
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:06.759
It's putting that cave that.

696
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.000
You're repping, this cave, this cement, this concrete around you.

697
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.599
You will not be able to advance forward. Her thoughts

698
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.679
and feelings linger, Yes, they do, anastasia, but you got

699
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:18.079
to see why is it lingering?

700
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.280
Why is that string still there?

701
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.920
Why does it pinch when something comes up when that

702
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:26.800
person speaks, because of how they treated you, or they

703
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.000
took your innocence, and you know, whatever the case may be.

704
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:33.440
Why go to the why? And Lord help me to

705
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:34.679
dig this out now.

706
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.440
When Jesus was walking through Mary Magdalene about to be stoned,

707
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.039
Jesus said, he drew something in the sand, and then

708
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.679
he said, let he who is without sin cast the

709
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.599
first stone. Cast You throw the first rock. If you're perfect,

710
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:49.760
if I don't need to go ahead and read your laundry,

711
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.639
you throw the first stone. You hit her, you judge her,

712
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:56.559
if you're so perfect, And what did the people do?

713
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.639
The crowd dispersed.

714
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.840
Not easy to let Charles, I know that, and you've

715
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:04.559
been saying that for a minute, and I know that,

716
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.360
but why hold on to it? What did you have

717
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.159
to ask yourself? Why am I holding onto this? And

718
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.079
I've got people in therapy who still has three and

719
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:15.480
four layers of skin because they don't want to get

720
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:17.480
to because they feel that there. They don't want to

721
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:19.639
get to the bottom of things. I told you all

722
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:24.119
about the not retired but the already discharged.

723
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:27.079
Bet young guy in his twenties came to me for

724
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:27.639
the wife.

725
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.760
Referred him to my therapy with me. We got to

726
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.760
the bottom of it. The revelation was there. He's like,

727
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.599
oh my god, it's because of my my sergeant. You

728
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:38.760
know that I reported to reminded me of my uncle

729
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:41.199
who did this and this and this. To me, I said,

730
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:42.480
you know what, you don't.

731
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.960
Have to won't you write him a letter? Write a letter,

732
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.559
don't send it to him. He could not do it

733
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:49.840
because he didn't want to let it go. We got

734
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.880
to the bottom of it, we got the answer. He

735
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:56.639
still refused to let it go and had a hard time.

736
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.679
Was fast from kmart because he heard the tireur backfired

737
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:01.239
and he thought.

738
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:03.360
That was gun fire and he dropped to the floor.

739
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.880
He was tresplassed for play it just like yes, go ahead, no,

740
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:13.280
but it doesn't holds you longer in captivity if the

741
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:14.639
more you hang on to it.

742
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.400
And so like miss miss Gray was saying.

743
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:21.079
Find ways that you can release it, so you can

744
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:25.599
release yourself, you know, whether you you I've had clients

745
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:29.039
write stuff on a piece of paper, things that hurt

746
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.440
them and then toss that piece of paper in the

747
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:35.239
trash and then just kind of you know, trying to

748
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.800
get like a renew and it's not easy, you know,

749
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.760
miss Gray, and I trust me, we've we've gone through

750
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:43.400
some stuff. I know she shared some things and I

751
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.679
think maybe I've shared some stuff too. But you gotta

752
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.320
have you gotta let it go or try to let

753
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.320
it go, work, work through it, and pray on God

754
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.159
that he helps to release that. I mean, you know,

755
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.880
talk to somebody if you if you have to, but

756
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.239
it's going to be more detrimental if you hold going

757
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:01.079
to it, and it.

758
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:04.519
Can lead the health issues, heart attack, stress, you know,

759
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:11.639
frustration point, you know, the pressure, it can hurt you.

760
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.440
It's more harmful and then the person that you're angry

761
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:18.320
with probably gone on and you're you're.

762
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:20.679
Right, they're not.

763
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.000
Looking at sleep, and so you have to kind of

764
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:25.679
find a way to do that because there's some good

765
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:26.280
folks out there.

766
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:29.119
There's some good folks out there, and count on that.

767
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:31.800
You know, there are people that are they're not gonna

768
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:33.760
dog you out. There's some people out there that that

769
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.000
are going to treat you well. There's some relationships if

770
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.039
that's the issue. There are some nice people out there

771
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:45.159
that want a monoga monogal mess relationship. And so try

772
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.400
to find the goods versus focusing on the bad.

773
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:51.800
Because it'll take you down. I tell you, it could

774
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:52.440
take you down.

775
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.599
You stay stuck, You'll stay stuck.

776
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:58.000
Let it go, and no one has been able to

777
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:01.039
tell me, give me a good reason or a one

778
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:03.519
that would make sense as to why you're holding on

779
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.119
to it. It's not strengthening you, it's not motivating you.

780
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:08.719
Every time you turn around.

781
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:10.960
It's there to get you. It's there to haunt you.

782
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:13.320
And the devil knows I got him. All I have

783
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:14.199
to do is keep.

784
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.679
Reminding him of this, or have that relative or that

785
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.000
one person keep bringing up the same old thing. There's

786
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.559
that commercial where the guy says, oh, he calls the

787
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.880
girl by the wrong name.

788
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:26.960
He said, oh, yeah, Laura was the one your mother liked.

789
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.000
Then he goes to the other lady. He said, oh, wow,

790
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.440
something he was, and the lady said to him, she

791
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:34.599
got it. She said, oh, look at you. You were

792
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.519
so cute when you couldn't talk as a child.

793
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.360
You always got that person that's gonna always want to

794
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.079
point the finger, point out your flaws and things like that.

795
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:47.639
You know, you know, it's not worth it looking back,

796
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.679
It's not worth it. Let me just tell you, Charles

797
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.639
and anybody else listening, it's not worth it holding on

798
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:56.719
to it. Let it become a memory versus a haunt

799
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:01.000
versus something that that's a darkness or the darkness in

800
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:02.400
that corner thet it go.

801
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:05.880
That's how I can let people go really easy.

802
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:07.920
My daughter said, mine, you, and my son said, today,

803
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:10.039
my baby boy, he said, you know, min you Yeah,

804
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.719
you be deleting people and blocking them. I said, quick,

805
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.360
because you know what, if you're not helping me to

806
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:18.840
be a better person, why would I let you live

807
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:24.440
rent free in my brain, in my soul, in my atmosphere.

808
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.800
In my phone.

809
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:28.000
Why And maybe because I've been a therapist for over

810
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.159
thirty years, maybe that's I'm seeing it.

811
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.360
I've seen it come in people come in and out

812
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:34.760
my door. I don't know, but all I know is

813
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:40.159
it doesn't work. It doesn't work, And I'm about positiveness. Please,

814
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.960
y'all don't have to die, don't have to go through

815
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:48.440
any more trauma to wake up. Yes, Tray, go ahead, you're.

816
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:50.239
Gonna say, well, I was looking at I was looking

817
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:53.079
up something of forgiveness.

818
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.079
And if you've ever seen the movie Antoine Fisher with

819
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:02.840
Denzel Washington in it, and that's a good movie that

820
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:10.039
reflects the impact or the negative effect of trauma, childhood,

821
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.719
trauma and letting go and moving forward.

822
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:18.559
So yeah, so if anyone has ever.

823
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:22.960
Watched that or it's interested, it's it's heavy, it's deep,

824
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:27.119
but it also you know, it leads to an end,

825
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.920
you know, moving on and that help of releasing things

826
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:33.719
that affected you, that made you stuck.

827
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.320
So you know, that might be something you want to

828
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.480
want to take a look at. But like I said,

829
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:40.079
it's very very heavy.

830
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:41.639
M amen.

831
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:43.760
I know when I had to go to work after

832
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:48.079
my husband, who's now deceased, we separated, I had to

833
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:50.760
go find a job, and you know, when I started

834
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.440
working at the hospital, everybody's.

835
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:53.960
Like, well, you know, you don't come in have lunch.

836
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:55.559
Why don't you go out with this? No, I didn't

837
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.360
come here to find meet friends. I came here to work.

838
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:00.360
I gotta I got a family to take care of.

839
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:02.760
I'm not about I got three. I had three friends

840
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:03.559
then they were fine.

841
00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:07.400
That was fine for me. Got whole lots of associates

842
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:07.760
and stuff.

843
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:11.039
People, Oh you're my friend. Oh okay, that's the way

844
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.119
you want to look at it now and know who

845
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:15.320
to share your stuff with. You know, you gotta know

846
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.400
who not to share because you gotta.

847
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:22.559
You gotta not trying to be paranoid, but you need

848
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.679
to be because that's your information and you don't want

849
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.599
something that could be more detrimental viewsed against you. You know,

850
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.199
there's some people that have good intentions, and then there's

851
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:34.800
some people that don't have some good intentions, and then

852
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.079
there's some people that have bad intentions. You just have

853
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.800
to figure out what person in your life is what

854
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:41.800
and not saying that they're bad people.

855
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:43.880
You just don't. You just have to pick and choose

856
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:44.480
what you share.

857
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:47.039
Of them are something, I got it. The trade is

858
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.639
real nice, But some of them are and some of

859
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:51.719
them are your enemy and some of them there to

860
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.760
you know, still kill and destroy anything and everything, including you.

861
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:59.360
Go ahead, carry on, okay, but.

862
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:00.639
At least ms.

863
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.320
Greg said, you have to watch what you texting. Yes, Charles,

864
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:05.800
you do have to watch what you test.

865
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.119
Some people, because, like I said, you don't want it

866
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:08.960
to use against you.

867
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.119
And if you're already in a state, a vulnerable state

868
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.559
where you you're struggling to to to let go and

869
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:18.440
forgive and let God handle it, then you don't.

870
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:19.880
You don't want to share a lot with.

871
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.840
Folks because sometimes the stuff that they shoot back at you,

872
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:26.599

873
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:30.519

874

895
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:28.400
God said, don't bring that to me. I was like,

896
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:33.719
oh God, okay, okay, but he's gonna do it quick

897
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:35.159
because he said, no, I'm not gonna let you be

898
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:39.079
bothered because it's not gonna go anywhere. They're not listening

899
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:40.599
to you and they're not gonna listen to me, so

900
00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:43.559
just move on. And that's why I can block you,

901
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.239
I can delete you, and you got to get out

902
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.119
