of setting it Straight with Miss Grey.

12
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:25.760
And co hosts.

13
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.439
Good evening to everybody. How are you all doing? My

14
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.760
fabulous co hosts.

15
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.760
Wonderful you're supposed to speak.

16
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.760
Let's go on on there. We were doing this for

17
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:38.280
a minute.

18
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:39.599
I'm gonna smile.

19
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:40.599
That's all I'm gonna do.

20
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.879
Okay, both, that's good, you're smiling and everything else. Praise

21
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.719
God from whom old blessings flow. Let's take it to

22
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:51.200
the throne.

23
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.760
Baba God. We just love you so much. We forgive you,

24
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.599
were forever giving you the praise and the glory. Please

25
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.159
forgive us of our sins. We will not be.

26
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.760
We can't be not thinking about that and not knowing,

27
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.480
because we sin every day. I don't care how good

28
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.719
we think we are as a person, but we do,

29
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.199
whether it's in thought, words, behaviors, we do. And that's

30
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.199
why we have to say and ask for forgiveness every

31
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.280
night and every day.

32
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:27.599
Lord, we just I just need to exhale in you today.

33
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:33.919
The hate, the rudeness that exists right now all around

34
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.080
us is a sad state of affairs. However, I look

35
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.439
to the heels from which cometh my help. I know

36
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.080
my God is there. You're so ever around us, ever present,

37
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.520
waiting to bless us, waiting to get a cheer from us,

38
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.360
waiting to get us smile.

39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.360
So, Lord, tonight, this is your show.

40
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.759
We're just your children, your son, your faithful son, your daughters.

41
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.120
That's all we are.

42
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.400
So we're gonna get behind the cross and we're gonna

43
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.159
let you do with one of the many things that

44
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:09.080
you do best and that.

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.919
Set your captives free. Have your weight, Lord in Jesus name,

46
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:20.560
speak through us tonight, Lord, speak through us. We love

47
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.840
you so much. We're forever giving you all the praise,

48
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:30.560
glory and honor in Jesus name. Amen and Amen Amen. Wow.

49
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:38.360
I experienced something within the last twenty four hours. As always,

50
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.520
I'm posting on my Facebook page, and usually I get

51
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.360
a lot of my things from a couple of other groups.

52
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:51.080
They're encouraging not to make anybody feel bad, or maybe

53
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.280
you do question whether or not you're a person of faith.

54
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.240
I don't know, but.

55
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.439
It seems like when I talk about Jesus Christ, it

56
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:06.080
triggers is the most evil, the most roodest people in

57
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.080
the world. And I wonder how you're surviving, because if

58
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.280
you're doing this to a total stranger, I can only

59
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.279
imagine what you're doing at your job, or your place

60
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.160
of work, your place of.

61
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:27.360
Entertainment, even in your own home. I just posted something simple.

62
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.160
There was the image of Jesus and his robe in

63
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.240
his hand, going into the fiery lake and pulling out

64
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.839
someone who didn't think that they would make it into Heaven.

65
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.720
I forgot what the caption said. All I did was

66
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.480
post it. I didn't any comment, nothing, and.

67
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.240
All of a sudden, demons came from everywhere. Please don't

68
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.720
post that here. We don't need to hear this. That's inappropriate.

69
00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:02.399
Please stop. So I got of my feelings.

70
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.600
And I'm like, hey, I immediately followed the group. I

71
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.920
left the group, I deleted.

72
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.519
The post, and the Spirit of the Lord said, what

73
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:22.959
you're doing? I said? He said, what you're doing? He said,

74
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.199
she that arrow, she just said, that bullet she just

75
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.720
said came straight to me.

76
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.920
He said, I'm not gonna let nobody hurt you. So

77
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.480
what you're doing when you ashamed of me? No, God,

78
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.879
I'm not ashamed of you, he said, So why are.

79
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.600
You taking the post? There are you supposed to be

80
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:42.560
getting It's about.

81
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.879
Lights, You're supposed to getting approval from these people.

82
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.240
And I'm like, God, I'm sorry, he said, I know

83
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:50.759
you're sorry.

84
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.879
Hey, you had said hey, Mikky, y'all cover in strongling like,

85
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.360
and I'm like, I'm sorry, he said.

86
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.959
And what you gonna do, he said, because one thing

87
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.319
you need to understand worry. I keep telling you, he said.

88
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.639
But I'm gonna make it real clear.

89
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:13.600
Every tongue that rises up against you, anybody that's got

90
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.360
a negative thought about you, it comes straight to the throne.

91
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.120
Because I'm not gonna let nobody hurt you. Because you're

92
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.959
doing my work. You're representing me. And I had to

93
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.319
look down and I'm like, God, I'm sorry. He said,

94
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.040
get this straight, people, and this is for all of

95
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.959
us who are striving to be more like Jesus, who's

96
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.639
striving to have a relationship unlike ever before. Make changes

97
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.480
in the world, whatever it is, he said, My people

98
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:52.439
will not go unnoticed. Angels are checking everything off of here.

99
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.720
We got you up here. Just do what I tell

100
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:56.199
you to do.

101
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.920
And I said, yes, sir, So he said, so what

102
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.319
you're gonna do. I went back in joined the group,

103
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:13.279
reposted it and I said, and you were saying, so

104
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.160
all I did was just delete, you know, the comments

105
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.879
that were negative. Oh, it just got so bad today,

106
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.240
you know, I mean people were tearing at each other

107
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.839
and this is a you keep posting until they wiped

108
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:26.920
the up blindness from their eyes.

109
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.319
Yes, ma'am, Yes, misty.

110
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:36.879
And this is a very emotionally driven group, which I

111
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.360
would think you would be thankful to be able to

112
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.519
be encouraging and show some happiness and to stop posting

113
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.720
that this is not that who But guess what.

114
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.600
The administrative folk had to approve it, and they still

115
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:57.439
are dropping the mic, dropping the mic. But it's okay

116
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:58.040
for you to be.

117
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.959
Nasty for you to be evil, for you to talk

118
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.319
about what you're feeling, and that you're so right.

119
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.319
But I'm just I didn't even say anything.

120
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.600
I just posted it because the post speaks volumes. Jesus

121
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:17.079
is reaching into the lake of fire and getting one

122
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.959
of his chosen out who didn't think that they would

123
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:25.199
make it in, and you're coming for me, and God said, no,

124
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.560
they't coming for you, They're coming for me. So I

125
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:34.440
want to encourage everybody understand this thing. It's not about

126
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.080
getting likes. It's not somebody giving you the thumbs up,

127
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.279
it's not about the hearts at the end of the hour.

128
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.000
It's about what Jesus said. Lord, I pray that I

129
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.919
represented you well today. I did my best. Or I

130
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.559
didn't do my best. I wasn't good enough. I didn't

131
00:08:52.600 --> 00:09:00.360
come through right every arrow.

132
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.000
From this moment on, for those who are growing in

133
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.919
their faith and striving and doing everything they can to

134
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.240
let Jesus.

135
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.879
Know, I know you're real. You're real in my life

136
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:23.639
from this day forward. Check check check more rubies. More

137
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.440
jewels will be added in your crown.

138
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.679
I think I'm on my eighth crime now because you

139
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.279
always put so many jewels in it in a crown,

140
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:40.919
and you keep moving. You keep moving, you keep praying,

141
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.440
you keep basting, you keep studying, you keep meditating.

142
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.159
Don't you stop until you take your last break. And

143
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.159
guess what. There are times that God said, okay, that's good,

144
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.440
get you some rest, because he knows everything about us.

145
00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:59.000
So I want to encourage y'all.

146
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.159
Don't be don't get any your feelings because sometimes at

147
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.559
ten percent flesh, it starts to unroll and I can't

148
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.200
dial it back. And then I can't go and be

149
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.639
around people because just as I can make you laugh,

150
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.600
I can have a great conversation, Oh I can be

151
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240
not so nice. So I have to keep it under bay,

152
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:26.240
under wraps because it's hard once it's out to dial

153
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.000
it back. Remember, I'm ninety percent spiritual, servant of God,

154
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:38.720
child of God, but I'm ten percent flesh. So anybody

155
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.320
want to add anything, and then we're going to get

156
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.759
into tonight's topic because I think it's funny.

157
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.600
Well, i'm astray. I have to kind of confirm what

158
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.679
you're talking about. And it was something that I used

159
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.879
in the message yesterday, and it comes from relationis one

160
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.159
ten and this is Paul speaking, and he said Obviously

161
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.440
I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but

162
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:17.399
of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would

163
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:32.440
not be Child's Christ's servant. So that is that's the confirmation.

164
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:42.080
Who are we wanting to please? Because one thing is

165
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:53.480
for certain man mankind will always be disappointed. And when

166
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:59.840
we serve God, he hasn't broken a promise. He doesn't

167
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:05.159
land on breaking a promise. And that's something that we

168
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.080
have to understand.

169
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:18.519
And understanding that God doesn't need us, he wants us.

170
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.679
Big difference.

171
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:27.720
So if anybody, and remember what Christ said in John

172
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.320
the world wants to attack me, but I leave you

173
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.480
my peace because I overcame the world.

174
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.639
That's what the Bible says.

175
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.840
That's what Christ said.

176
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:51.759
So this is not for us to take personal. We

177
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:57.639
are to serve. That's what we're supposed to do. That's

178
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:06.759
part of the great commission. And if we allow ourselves

179
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.159
to be affected by other people, then that's on us.

180
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.600
Because God didn't say I want you to fight my battles.

181
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.399
I will fight your values. And remember what the Lord said.

182
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:29.679
The Lord said, the vengeance is mine. So no matter

183
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:34.399
what we think, you know, it's not towards you, it's

184
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:40.879
towards our God, our Savior, our Lord.

185
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.879
And if people don't.

186
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:50.320
Want to accept that, Jesus's instructions to the seventy two are,

187
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:57.039
if they don't want to accept my blessings, shake the

188
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.519
sandals off your shake the dust your feet, and move on.

189
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.879
And that's why it's important to stay as holy as

190
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.799
you can, because, as I said earlier, it's hard to

191
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.639
dial that flesh back because it's sitting there bubbling.

192
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.080
It's bubbling.

193
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.879
It's just like a you know, the stuff underneath the

194
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.600
lava under the earthquake.

195
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.039
It's sitting there, it's being triggered.

196
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.559
You taking these hits, and you people are saying things,

197
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.200
and so you try to just smile, and then after

198
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.759
a while, it just takes one little something to pick that.

199
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.759
It's just like you have a scab. I don't want

200
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:37.559
to be gross.

201
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.559
Here, but it's like you have a scab. And if

202
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.320
you start, if you need a scab along, it'll heal itself.

203
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.240
You may have something left over, but it will heal itself.

204
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.919
It will no longer sting, it will no longer hurt.

205
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.080
But if you start picking at it and you get

206
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.720
one corner of it up, it's exposing the whole, the rawness.

207
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.440
Even though this looks like, okay, this, this looks like

208
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.519
it's healing here, but we don't know if it's healing

209
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.120
over here.

210
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:04.000
We don't know that.

211
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.639
It's healing here, but we don't know what's going on

212
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:14.080
over here. It's still an open sore. So you keep

213
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.960
picking at it, and then that open sore and then

214
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.039
the next thing you know, you're gonna lose a limbit.

215
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:25.120
My aunt did that. My aunt did that. She kept

216
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.759
doing the old remedy stuff, and this old sore she

217
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.279
just escaped. I don't know what happened. We don't even

218
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.080
know how it happened. But next thing we know, she

219
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.000
she's you know, and we're like, what's going on.

220
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.440
She's got gauls all over and she's trying to self

221
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.279
you know, self medicated and self heal it it.

222
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.600
Let I mean, it was a gross deterioration.

223
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.559
But next thing we know, she went to the hospital

224
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.360
and they had to amputate her.

225
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.440
She was not diabetic.

226
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:01.000
An old sore, not from just months years. It got

227
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.399
nicked some kind of way.

228
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.360
Instead of her.

229
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.600
Saying I need to I think I need to go,

230
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.759
let me bring this to the attention of my doctor.

231
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:13.039
She nursed herself. That led her to an amputation, which

232
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.000
led her to a nursing home. And she was the

233
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:20.399
first of nine relatives on my mother's side that began

234
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.759
to pass away in one summer.

235
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.679
We lost nine people every two weeks.

236
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.440
We were at a funeral and that's where my mother's

237
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:36.679
dementia set in, and Alzheimer's was right behind it. So

238
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.639
I I, yeah, this, just stopped picking that stuff. Let

239
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.320
it go, leave it alone, said Jesus. I appreciate if

240
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.159
you can heal this. I'm not sure what this is.

241
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.039
I went to my foot doctor foot surgeon.

242
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.159
The other day.

243
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.080
I go every six weeks to get breathing on my

244
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.320
left foot, and he's so I love him to death.

245
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.720
He's just so kind to me.

246
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:03.679
And he always tells me, you know, all of my

247
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.839
patients are diabetics except you.

248
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.240
You're the less than one percent. So he looks at

249
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.559
my he knows my foot.

250
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.000
I mean going to one for six or five years

251
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.720
now every six weeks, and it's.

252
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.440
In my life plan. I have to go for the

253
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.240
rest of my life.

254
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.599
He has to debriathe my foot, and so he looks

255
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.559
at it, and he looks at my foot first, and

256
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.599
he already knows what the you know what tool he's

257
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.920
going to need, but he looks at it first, and

258
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.000
he looks so I take off both of my shoes

259
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.279
and he's looking at my feet and he's like, and

260
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:39.480
I said what he said, No.

261
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.400
Just just a little skin, just a little skin. I

262
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.319
got it. I got it.

263
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.359
I said, okay, I said, you're very happy with the

264
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.839
little knife thing there, You're very happy. But he the

265
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.279
way he looked at me, looked at my feet, I

266
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.119
just felt the love of Jesus because.

267
00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:58.799
Jesus sometimes just takes a look at us.

268
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.160
He knows what we're going through, but he'll stop and

269
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.200
take a look at us. There are times Jesus would

270
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.599
just be around me and he'll just hug me, and

271
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:16.559
I'm like, oh you up today, huh? And it made

272
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.119
it brought back and I had a little tear in

273
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.759
my eye because I was like, oh my god.

274
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:24.720
You know, he's more than a doctor. He really really cares.

275
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.599
He knows his role in my life. And Jesus, you know,

276
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.799
and you've you've given him my heart, you've given him.

277
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.079
Are things getting better? Each time to go to oh

278
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.039
yeah it's gonna it's yeah, yeah, I don't want to

279
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.559
get gross as dinner time, but yeah, but I have

280
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.920
to go for the rest of my life.

281
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.680
He has to debred. So all right, you know what,

282
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.079
let's get to the topic. Here we go. I'm making

283
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.079
a circle. I'm making a circle. Well, we wanted to

284
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.119
talk about All Saints and All Souls.

285
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:00.079
Today because I didn't know what though. I mean, I

286
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.200
heard about it, you know in passing. I think when

287
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.720
I was in Catholic school is a big hint. So

288
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.680
you know, I remember hearing it and stuff like that.

289
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.519
And I think in New Orleans, you know, when New Orleans,

290
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.640
you know, starting to open up, you know, years and

291
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.559
years and years ago about their history and with their

292
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.240
celebrations and all that.

293
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.039
You know, you hear stuff and you don't think that's

294
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.960
another what wait till I tell you. I'm gonna read

295
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.480
some things.

296
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.119
All Saints Day is observed was observed on Friday, Nobody

297
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.160
be fourth first. Many Catholic churches in the United States

298
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:40.880
celebrate All Saints Day to honor all those Saints, particularly those.

299
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.960
Who do not have their own special feast day. And okay,

300
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.720
mind not, it goes on.

301
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.559
You know, it's not a public holiday, so nobody's closing

302
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.079
up anything. But on All Saints Day, some people take

303
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.160
flowers to the graves of their loved ones. Okay, and

304
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:05.119
All Saints Day is also known as All hollows Tide,

305
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.440

Roman Catholics populations and in New Orleans and in the

308
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.559
New Orleans, for example, people gather in the local cemeteries

309
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.400
and decorate the graves with flowers.

310
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:34.240
The descendants of French Canadian settlers around Saint Martinsville, Louisiana.

311
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:36.640
The day is easy for the ones who passed before

All Saints Day is celebrated globally, and it's.

316
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:02.279

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:59.000
Many Western churches annually observe All Souls Day on November two,

329
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.799
next day, and many Eastern churches celebrated prior to and

330
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.480
the day before Pentecosts. It's not a public holiday, even

331
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:14.200
though it falls on a Saturday normally, and it's a

332
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.920
working day. You got to go to work. They have

333
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.920
regular hours. Some churches even have special services for All

334
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:28.920
Souls Day. They a prayer for deceased souls. Many Christians

335
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.720
visit cemeteries where their loved ones were buried. Some cemeteries

336
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.559
offer candles to be placed on these graves. The candles

337
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.720
are blessed and marked with the names of the deceased,

338
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.200
to be placed at the designated grave sites. The Catholic

339
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:46.880
Church remembers deceased members of the congregation on this day,

340
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.720
and again it goes back to the day of the Day. Events,

341
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.079
which come in the forms of festivals, parades, and group celebrations,

342
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.279
are held on November first through the second to coincide

343
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.960
with both those days. And during these celebrations, some people

344
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:06.519
wear masks, carry signs, or put up elaborate decorations.

345
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.079
To honor the dead.

346
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:13.480
Some centers community centers invite their people to commemorate their

347
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:22.400
deceased love was with offerings and through altars that include food, cymbals, flowers, candles,

348
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:29.799
and photos and other mementos. Altars a memory of the dead.

349
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:37.240
And I'm going to stop there, going to stop right there.

350
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.039
The Halloween it.

351
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:46.519
Gets to get the bad unrespiraits to not cause harm.

352
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.519
And the next day it's easier for the past ones

353
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.920
to visit, okay, and like candles and souls and a

354
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.839
way to return.

355
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.559
Hey country, you see, I'm still going to stop right

356
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:06.400
there the day of the day celebrating the dead now.

357
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.160
And I think pastor you you mentioned this, and this

358
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.119
came went through my mind again today and I was

359
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.559
talking to a young lady on the phone and I said.

360
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:14.880
You know, when Jesus.

361
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:21.960
Went to see about Mary and Martha and Lazarus were

362
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.559
reminded and thank you, pastor for bringing that up. That

363
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:31.839
had Jesus said rods, get up, all the dead would

364
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:35.079
have got up. They were like, who is going, That's

365
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:36.039
that's our signal.

366
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:41.920
Uh, let's go. He's here, he's here, let's go. Reminds

367
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:43.960
me I was watching and that's okay, God your soul.

368
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:49.720
So I was watching on Transformers the last night, and

369
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:51.880
when Optimus was.

370
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.960
Revived and he's going into this desert thing.

371
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.400
His followers are like, there is there is He's back, y'all.

372
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.880
He's so you know, that's why Jesus had.

373
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:08.880
To say, Lazarus rocks, get up, because all of the

374
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:13.799
dead would have gotten them. And to this day, if

375
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.039
Jesus whatever, he comes back, if he said rise up,

376
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:24.559
everybody coming back, everybody coming back, because he's gonna make

377
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:32.599
the announcement. So I on my biological mother's side of

378
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.000
the family, after a funeral, they like to go back

379
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.480
to the gravesite.

380
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.240
And I asked one of my aunts one time, why

381
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.000
do y'all do that.

382
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:46.559
These are Baptists folks, Black Baptists, Martin Luther King Baptist folk,

383
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:55.640
and she said, we just do it, okay, but.

384
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.519
You have no reason why y'all do this. They literally

385
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.240
get a bit load up in the cars and go

386
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.079
back to the gravesite and they're like, you know, no,

387
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.880
I don't need to go. What I don't need to go,

388
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.480
y'all go, I'll watch your coats here.

389
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:22.440
For me, looking at this topic, it just struck me

390
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:28.039
to we have to be careful of what and why

391
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.839
we do things, whether it's culture or it's traditions.

392
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.119
Why do we do this?

393
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.200
Like some people, I think after November first, the Christmas

394
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.000
things go up, uh, you know some people and the

395
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:40.839
Christmas Street.

396
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.359
Don't go down till January or something. You know, it's like,

397
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:48.880
why do why? What are we doing and why are

398
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:55.720
you doing it? And where's the scripture that backs that up? Now?

399
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.119
I don't know about y'all. I like for script to

400
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.519
back up everything I'm doing.

401
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.240
That's just me. I got to go find a word

402
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.759
on this one.

403
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.079
I already told y'all I didn't know there was twenty

404
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.119
nine sayings that I thought were biblical and they weren't.

405
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:17.799
One is a couple of things as Shakespeare's plays. And

406
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.079
I saw a former.

407
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.519
Student a few weeks ago said, even roy I used

408
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:25.559
to say, you know, to dine on self be true,

409
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:27.680
and she she had some vote folks around her.

410
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.920
Tim She goes, yeah, it's great, I've quoted you. I said, well,

411
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.160
you got to go back and tell them that's not scriptured,

412
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.720
asked a stranger.

413
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.519
Doing it sound like something Jeremiah would say? This is

414
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.359
something that Paul would say to dine on self be true. No,

415
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:46.839
it's to see from Shakespeare Hamlet, Act three, page ninety two.

416
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:54.440
But it sounded it sounded something biblical. So you have

417
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:55.720
to be careful about what you saying.

418
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.200
But for me, like I said, now, everybody's to eat

419
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:01.119
his own on everything. Now, don't get me wrong. Whatever

420
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.119
is gonna take.

421
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.480
You to stay in the face of Jesus. Do what

422
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.440
you need to do, Do what you need to do.

423
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.279
And I think it's because I'm a delayed reaction person.

424
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.680
When it comes to death.

425
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.480
Usually I can do the funeral, I can do everything.

426
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.440
I'm there at the church, you know, we can get

427
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.720
through the repass and stuff. But as after everything is over,

428
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.319
everybody's loading up the cars, they're loading up the to

429
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:31.240
gold plates, you know, then I I that's where you

430
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:31.920
got to find me.

431
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:39.720
Because now it's over, it's over. And I think I

432
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:42.400
would be that way if I'm able to ever go,

433
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.640
if I do go to a funeral of somebody I

434
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:50.400
really love, and I'm gonna miss that person. But that's me.

435
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.759
That's me. But I wanted you all to understand this commemoration,

436
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.640
this awareness does. All Souls Day and all Saints Day

437
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.519
are are related to Halloween and celebrating the dead.

438
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.480
And you gotta take a look. We only know what

439
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.559
someone told us. Most of the time, we don't know

440
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:13.720
why we do it. Call it tradition, our habit. You're right, Mickey,

441
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.160
it could be cultural. I know a lot of people

442
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.880
doing cultural things and it don't You can't, they can't

443
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.400
explain it.

444
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:21.880
It's like this is what we've always done.

445
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:25.559
My biological mother once told me, oh, you don't eat

446
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:26.680
seafood on Sunday.

447
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:31.720
What you don't eat fish on Sunday?

448
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.480
But where'd that come for? Well, you know, back in

449
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.680
the slavery days. No, no, no, wait, wait wait we

450
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.519
still connected.

451
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.519
What you mean?

452
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.319
If I want seafood on Sunday, that's gonna get me

453
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.559
some seafood on Sunday.

454
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.440
But she's the same person that says you don't wear

455
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.920
pasts to church and you wear stockings no matter how

456
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.480
hot it is. But in her mind that's that's the

457
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.160
cultural thing.

458
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.480
I think her sister once said, well, I'm a Baptist,

459
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.319
I'm gonna die Baptists. I said, well, I'm gonna see

460
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.559
how you get buried because I think.

461
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:04.880
It's just a regular funeral.

462
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.839
Why y'all see that. This is the facial expressions that

463
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:12.359
I do. But I'm not gonna hold, you know, talk

464
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:16.440
through this too much. But just I just thought when

465
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.519
I looked on the calendar that I never knew that

466
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.720
these two days were celebrated as much as or were

467
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.440
as serious, and definitely didn't.

468
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.920
Know that they were linked. They are related to hollow

469
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:36.240
weed and that, you know.

470
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.400
So you just I just want you to be careful.

471
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.000
We don't do the research abrupt things some people taught us.

472
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.279
You don't. You're right, Mickey. We look to the teachers.

473
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.960
We looked at the historians, we looked to the pastor

474
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.359
the priests. Whatever they say, it's got to be golden.

475
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:53.200
They're saying it, it's got to be right.

476
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:56.440
I was looking at my books, the books that I've written, right,

477
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.519
and these books, you know, are according to me, They

478
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.680
according to what God told me to document, because God

479
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.720
is the author.

480
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.640
I just was a scribed I was just the writer.

481
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.359
But these are my things.

482
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.039
These the prayers that are listed of these books are

483
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.440
from me. But what helped me my fourth book i'm

484
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.799
writing now, which is a part two of The Weeping Warrior,

485
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:30.599
when the practitioner, the therapist, the social worker becomes the patient.

486
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:36.559
And what I went through these past six years and

487
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:39.200
already my type is she had the text me she's

488
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:41.920
a professor. Oh my god, when you said that, you

489
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.960
asked them, why is it that no one exercised your limbs?

490
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.680
Because they knew that they weren't broken? Nothing was broken?

491
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:48.119
She said.

492
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.920
The Holy Spirit said to the scripture, and I think

493
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.839
it's an old testament that said that not one bone

494
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.759
is broken.

495
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:55.079
Because of me.

496
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.359
I have to read that, and then y'all got to

497
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.039
come on and talk. Hang on a minute, I'm gonna

498
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.400
read what she's what the Holy Spirit told her. While

499
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:05.720
she's typing my book, she said, hey, prof she calls

500
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:08.759
me professor, as I'm working on this chapter. How come

501
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.359
when you're saying, you all saw my bones were not broken,

502
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:16.319
how come I heard the spirits say, likewise, who had

503
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:17.200
not want he?

504
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:17.839
Who had?

505
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.480
Who had not one bone broken became a sacrifice for me.

506
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.720
I thank god I was pulled over in the parking

507
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:32.000
lot and all I could do is do this, said

508
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:40.720
God became a sacrifice for me and professor and pastor.

509
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:42.839
I don't know where that scripture is, but it sounded

510
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.039
like it was an old testament.

511
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.240
I could be wrong, but.

512
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:55.039
Right now, okay, see, you always got to have a

513
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:56.119
word man around you.

514
00:32:56.160 --> 00:33:00.440
Okay, who lives man?

515
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:04.960
We have the word man, the word Amen.

516
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:11.799
Yes, sir, go ahead, Cray.

517
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.440
If you want to jump in, go ahead, because I

518
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:18.119
spoke earlier. So I want to. I want to share.

519
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.559
I want to share the time with you.

520
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:24.119
You're sharing it when you're when you're speaking past us.

521
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.000
A little too funny.

522
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:32.240
Yeah, actually, actually it comes from Psalms thirty four.

523
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.240
To no a, Psalms.

524
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.000
Wait a minute, I gotta get there, Psalms thirty four

525
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.160
and twenty. Okay, go ahead, don't mind me.

526
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.839
And I'm pulling up the thirty four to twenty. I'm

527
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.680
pulling up the Bible verse.

528
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.519
Okay.

529
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:56.279
Now, he who searches the hearts knows what the mind

530
00:33:56.319 --> 00:34:02.720
of the spirit is because he Oh no, that's I'm sorry.

531
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:04.480
There it is right there.

532
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:08.679
Yeah, he guards all his bones, not one of them

533
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:10.039
is broken.

534
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:22.320
This is the typest typing up what I've dictated because

535
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.760
I asked the physical.

536
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.920
Therapist who said she had been there for thirty years.

537
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:30.599
You knew that my bones weren't broken. I know there's

538
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.320
machines that can help my legs. My legs rotate like

539
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.239
a bicycle and I don't have to be conscious for that.

540
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:39.679
How come y'all didn't rotate me.

541
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.920
I'm in here for almost night, I'm here from October

542
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:47.440
to December. I'm having this conversation with her in December

543
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:55.519
in the hospital because I couldn't walk, and she said, ma'am,

544
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:58.400
I do not know, She said, Miss Gray, I'm sorry,

545
00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.119
I don't know.

546
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.719
I said, well, when you have your staff of meeting,

547
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:07.440
bring it up, because that don't make any sense. When

548
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.239
you've got the machinery that can rotate my leg you know,

549
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.039
get the exercise whatever blood flowing. I mean, author right

550
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:14.960
is set in both of.

551
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:25.800
My knees because of these people. And now that's what

552
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:27.840
I dictated. I was like, how come I told the

553
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.159
story and then the Lord is talking He keeping all

554
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:36.360
his bones, not one of them broken, sacrifice for me,

555
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.320
like the.

556
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:42.760
T shirt said this, This faith journey ain't for the week.

557
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:48.079
It ain't for the week, because you still got that

558
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:50.360
flesh under there, and it's fighting.

559
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.440
You got culture, you got the way you were raised.

560
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.519
You're still fighting. You know it's not godly.

561
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.280
There's no scripture that can support what you know what

562
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.400
y'all do.

563
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.519
You already know that, but you do it anyway because

564
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:05.199
it's the thing to do.

565
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.639
And I'm so glad. The thing that Jesus and God

566
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.960
wants us to do is just to love them, Go

567
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.639
share the good news, tell them I'm coming, Tell them

568
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:21.159
I'm coming.

569
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:27.159
And right now, the whole world, the whole world.

570
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:33.800
Is going to flip. After midnight tonight. God told me

571
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:41.719
midnight tonight the change will be here, and I said, okay,

572
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:48.039
things are shifting, things are going to be different. Will

573
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:52.159
we been warning you? When we're warning you, get ready,

574
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.480
Get ready to get your money. Don't keep the money

575
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.639
in the bank for too long. Make sure your bills

576
00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.679
are covered. Go ahead and get out of debt if

577
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.159
you can. If you have to work an extra job,

578
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:05.199
do what you have to do. Get your house in order.

579
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:14.760
Bless your home, Bless your home.

580
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.199
And I think I'm gonna do something before midnight tonight,

581
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:25.480
because I haven't blessed this house yet. Go past woe

582
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:30.480
woe h the first.

583
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.480
Well I did parse it, throw it and so we

584
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:37.360
all broken together.

585
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:41.800
But anyway, if I may, if I may just add

586
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:45.079
something here, and I'm just gonna throw something out for

587
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:52.480
people to ponder, and that is you hear the scripture

588
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.920
and you can go to John. I'm sorry Romans chapter six,

589
00:37:56.039 --> 00:38:01.880
verse twenty three, and just listen to the first part

590
00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:06.320
for the wages of sin.

591
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:08.599
Is death.

592
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:22.039
So I have some trouble here that we want to

593
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:30.880
celebrate death, and their spirits really talking to me, and

594
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.280
I'm just gonna be obedient and share what the spirit

595
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:41.039
is telling me. Why do you want to celebrate death

596
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:53.840
when Jesus is alive. Jesus conquered the grave, So why

597
00:38:53.880 --> 00:39:01.159
do we want to celebrate something that is contrary of

598
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:10.679
what Jesus represents. I was once told that the best

599
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:16.719
time to give a sermon of salvation.

600
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:30.159
Is at a funeral, because that's what's there, is the result.

601
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:32.239
And I wrote it here.

602
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:38.840
Confirmation of what God said is going to happen. We're

603
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:44.920
going to die. So the question is do you want

604
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:49.719
to continue living and that would be looking.

605
00:39:49.920 --> 00:40:04.280
At Christ, serving Christ, living for Christ. And to me,

606
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:10.639
that to me, really makes you want to challenge those

607
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:21.679
cultural beliefs. Because the dead doesn't come visit us. We

608
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:25.119
get challenged by the evil one. We get challenged by

609
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:29.360
the demons that he assigns to us. And that's in

610
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:37.559
Hebrews one sixteen. So if we have been assigned an angel,

611
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.519
it's because that angel is going to protect us. So

612
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:43.159
if the angel is going to protect us, then that

613
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:50.559
gives us the ammunition to witness what Jesus did for us.

614
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:01.679
And we want to bring the message of hope, and

615
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.880
that message of hope is Christ.

616
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:19.159
So that's it, because that was the message I delivered yesterday. Tomorrow.

617
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:26.320
People's lives are going to change, but my life, my

618
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:28.760
spirit doesn't.

619
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:33.679
Change because I serve a living God who is my King,

620
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:46.679
my savior, my present. Because everything is temporary, even government,

621
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.400
and if it's run by man, trust me, it will

622
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:53.079
disappoint you.

623
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:55.559
But Christ will not.

624
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:00.719
Disappoint you, never and never leave us no for sakeness.

625
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:03.519
He is the lot of the world.

626
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:10.920
He is made, and he has many covenant promises that

627
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:12.119
he made.

628
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.119
But y'all read Roman six. The whole chapter.

629
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.840
Read Roman six, study it, study it, write that down

630
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:25.599
Roman six, and in the future you all should could

631
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:29.199
go back, you know, listen to this just for the

632
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.960
sake of the scriptures, so you can start studying and

633
00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:36.239
highlighting them. You're probably already writing some of them down.

634
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:40.840
I know some of you are. But you just gotta

635
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:47.880
hold on. You gotta hold onto his unchanging hand, his

636
00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:54.840
unchanging hand, and celebrate Christ who was alive and well,

637
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:58.320
and he left us the Holy Spirit to comfort us.

638
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.280
But all three the Triune.

639
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.559
Being, they on it.

640
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:09.039
They on it because they already knew they wrote the script,

641
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:09.920
they wrote the book.

642
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.920
That's why it's always good to to surround yourself with

643
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:21.400
people who are in the word, who are living as

644
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:26.440
Jesus lived, you know, mimickating what he has done, because

645
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:27.119
you can see it.

646
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:31.280
You know, sometimes you don't if you watch the way

647
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:32.119
someone does.

648
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:36.239
It's not what they say, is how they live.

649
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.280
Are certain scriptures to be read at certain times of

650
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:41.920
the year, only.

651
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:45.679
During the Jewish high holy days because they do certain

652
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.599
things out of their their their Bible, their book. But

653
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:54.239
you can know, you can study as you wish if

654
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:54.679
you want it.

655
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:56.079
One time, I think I.

656
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:59.320
Just went right through the old the four epistols Matthew, Mark, Luke,

657
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:02.679
and John. I just wanted to see the comparison of

658
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:03.239
how they.

659
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:06.760
Wrote for what they see, what their observices were. I's.

660
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:11.000
I just studied those four chapters just out of the blue,

661
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:12.599
because I was just curious that I just went to

662
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:13.639
the bookstore.

663
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:18.079
This weekend and found the book on Promises and coven

664
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:20.320
it for some reason. That's just, you know, I don't

665
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:23.440
Google is not helping me with that. I needed somebody

666
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.519
who went straight through the scriptures and I could study them.

667
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:29.079
And I got a hard book too, not no kindle,

668
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:30.599
you know, so I can.

669
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.400
I have to, just like the needs sometime to get

670
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:35.119
on my knees.

671
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:39.199
I have to physically manually do something and to show

672
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:42.480
and to break my flesh. And that's one of the

673
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.199
ways I break my flesh, because I can use kindle

674
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:46.760
and just sit there and read it like that. But

675
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.400
I don't like that. So I get the hard books

676
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.159
and crack it open and stuff, and I got my

677
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:57.920
highlighters ready and everything, and my notebook too, So I

678
00:44:58.039 --> 00:44:59.159
haven't done that in a minute.

679
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:06.000
My god, it's good, y'all. He hastens to perform. He

680
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.119
hastens to perform.

681
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.400
He's right there, and like I looking back at these people,

682
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:13.880
I was like, he's right there. And one gentleman wrote, uh,

683
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:19.679
he said, how do I forgive God? How do I

684
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:23.400
forgive God? And I was like, and it's like the

685
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.280
angels were like looking over my shoulder, like we go

686
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:26.000
see what she goes?

687
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:32.559
Right? They were like, you know what she gonna say.

688
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:33.599
I don't know what you're gonna say.

689
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.599
And I the Lord led me to let him first, say,

690
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:42.840
just talk to him. He knows what's already in your heart.

691
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:48.639
He knows I got there, he knows how I got there.

692
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:54.559
And I'm finding that empty teen folk are the first

693
00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:58.599
main group that really blames God for how they turned out.

694
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.000
I don't get that to save my life.

695
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:03.480
You the ones started smoking when you were twelve years old,

696
00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:05.880
You started getting drinking your first beer when.

697
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:06.880
You're thirteen years old.

698
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.840
You'd already know diabetes running your family, so you eat

699
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:13.840
cereal and pie and cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Really,

700
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.800
so you're gonna blame God because you then, at forty

701
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:23.000
years old, you get amputated. The doctor's been telling you

702
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:28.519
all along, if you don't stop this, this is what's

703
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:29.119
gonna happen.

704
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.760
That's what made my case a deal breaker, because my

705
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:38.039
health was nowhere near that. I did not have to.

706
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:40.480
No one ever told me if you don't stop eating

707
00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:44.760
McDonald's French fries, you're gonna be amputated one day. Nobody

708
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:46.920
told me that because it wasn't the case.

709
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:54.320
But this group, I'm telling you, they are angry at God.

710
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.880
God don't force himself on you. Why would a person

711
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:03.480
need to forgive God God at a stasia? But I

712
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:05.119
had to receive him as he was.

713
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.159
That was on his mind. So that's where we went

714
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.159
with that. And then I told him part of my story.

715
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:13.840
So you know, you you could y'all. Could I mean

716
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:16.960
not y'all, but y'all could go you Facebook, you people,

717
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:20.840
you non believers, you atheists, whatever you are, you could go.

718
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.360
And sit there in the dark fall I care. My

719
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:31.840
God brought me back from death twice and then and

720
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.800
looked over my murmuring michaeld plane in my winding and.

721
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.159
Say, he said, if you don't stop that and lay

722
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:37.559
down and.

723
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:41.079
Get some rest, because once you do go home, you

724
00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:42.199
got to finish the book.

725
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.239
Why am I so angry? I said, finish the book,

726
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:53.920
he said, yeah, I said, oh okay, and I finished

727
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.440
it while in therapy.

728
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.840
So you can't tell me nothing about my go You

729
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:02.159
can't tell me nothing about it.

730
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:06.119
I know who. I've lived this thing, and.

731
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:08.360
If you read any of my books, I've lived it.

732
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:12.639
I've lived his miracle. I know what it looked like.

733
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.159
I've had my hard times too. You'll see that in

734
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.440
the autobiography if I ever get to it. But you

735
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.880
can't tell me nothing about my God, and nobody will

736
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.119
come in between me and my father.

737
00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:28.199
Last minute words, y'all. We only got less than a

738
00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:32.039
half a second. But well, what I'm.

739
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.639
Gonna say is that, you know, sometimes you have to

740
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.679
be able to listen to God and he shows you

741
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.119
signs of things that keep doing it that way, it's

742
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:42.079
not going to be an excellent missus Gray. I love

743
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:45.840
what you and your team are doing. Oh, in the community,

744
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:47.400
I'm going to check the book out.

745
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.639
Very interesting. Oh guy, Guy Piers President.

00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:02.079

My piece, But yeah, just.

749
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:08.000
Y gotta just kind of listen to him and follow him,

750
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:12.960
cast your cares into him.

751
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:19.519
I'll be quick. Oh yeah, And you know I won't

752
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.360
make a servant out of this. But the bottom line,

753
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:31.119
issk God. Don't get angry at God. God so you

754
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:34.360

755
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:37.880
going to leave you speechless and you're gonna say only

756
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:39.639
God can do this.
