Father, God that we raised, we

17
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.599

I mean misrepresented things. Father God. We want the world to see

22
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.360

you unlike ever before. So we stand

23
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.000
behind the cross tonight, Father God, this is your show. We are

24
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.439
your daughters. You have your way
and as always, set your captives free.

25
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.280
In Jesus' name, we pray,
Amen and ammen and ammen. Amen.

26
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.879
Well we started off a good time. We laughing. I'm telling you,

27
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.360
God is good. Humor is greater, you know. And to be

28
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:55.879
women like mindedness and and and same
energy level and they have they do feel

29
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.400
sorry for me every now and then
they're like, oh, here you go,

30
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:00.240
you know, and she go with
it. Yeah. I had a

31
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.400
little mishap coming in. Thank God
that it wasn't for the viewers to see.

32
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.680
Thank you Jesus. But my girls
have me, even you know,

33
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.400
rebel have me, you know,
and you know I just had to be

34
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.879
me. You can't fix stuff.
You don't cameras why you're right there.

35
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.879
So you know, I wish somebody
would have given us an etiquette class on

36
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.520
zoom or on Facebook. You know, you're only doing a post. People

37
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.719
are getting better with it now,
but I didn't realize having the phone with

38
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.639
that, you could see it my
nose, and I'm like, and I

39
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.319
go back and look at him like
it was a great message. But I

40
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.840
could see up my nose, you
know, so you know this etiquette.

41
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.479
You need to just make sure.
You know, I wish somebody would have

42
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.199
had some proper classes and stuff just
to give us an idea, because you

43
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.280
know, you got stuff everything on
top of the refrigerator and people walking by

44
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.520
you and everything and going up the
stairs, and you know, I'm on

45
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.439
a show. You know, we
got about a thousands viewers right now,

46
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.960
and you know they're like, well
that's what the household. I guess she

47
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.360
got. Hey be yourself, it's
the best you could be. Things you

48
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.199
cutry, see how you doing.
I have a very interesting show the night.

49
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.159
Of course, our hearts are for
the people that are in Israel and

50
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:17.560
the lives that are being changed as
we speak. My heart, our hearts

51
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.000
go out, our prayers go out
also to uh and was it Tampa,

52
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.879
No, mississ Missouri the eighteen people
of Mississippi and Missouri is one of the

53
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:35.120
m's. Oh my goodness, Oh
my god. I had this May Main

54
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.439
Maine. Okay, yeah, the
eighteen people who've lost their lives will change.

55
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.560
Uh. And the people that you
know, our hearts go out with

56
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.199
you. You we've got to be
safe. We've got to be safe.

57
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.040
But I will not be a prisoner
in my home. I'm not gonna be

58
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.199
afraid to go out and go places. I'm not going to want to be

59
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.399
afraid to travel. That's not gonna
be me. If I if God says

60
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.680
to go, I'm going. And
I know I have his protection. And

61
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.920
one other thing I want to share. You know, the other day I

62
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.959
was just thinking about the Lord and
uh, I mean I was just talking

63
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.639
to well, I wasn't saying anything. It was just the other day and

64
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.639
all of a sudden, I had
this angel. But he's he's dressed differently,

65
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.399
and he came and he came in
on about need and in need and

66
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.480
his head was down and I'm like, God, who is this? He

67
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.439
said, this is your new angel. So I have seven angels now.

68
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.040
So I don't know what this was
gonna do and how he's a little different,

69
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.879
but I was tickled and everything else
and actually saw that person. So

70
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.560
tonight we're gonna talk about a very
interesting topic. And all our topics are

71
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.560
interesting, all of our topics will
be life changing. Oh wait a minute,

72
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.879
we're ending the other month of feeding
our three. I want to hear

73
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.240
anybody got some feedback on that.
How are your ladies doing? This evening,

74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:09.839
I was able to give food to
another person's whoa, it's your birthday,

75
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.920
miss it it's your birthday. Thank
you so much. I was just

76
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.000
asking. I wanted to get an
update, a final update as we read

77
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.120
this quarter, you still have it
till tomorrow. If you haven't, you

78
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.839
know, got your three in or
you want to do more. But I'm

79
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.600
telling you God has already blessed us. I mean, it's blown me away.

80
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.879
Yes, miss Thomas, she got
talking Grandma and those elderly people,

81
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.879
you know, so you got underbouted
to take it away. Now. I

82
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:46.399
didn't recognize it till later, but
I had been at a high school and

83
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.000
it was lunchtime, and I asked
the young man, I said, you're

84
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.040
not going to lunch he said,
no, man might normally stay in And

85
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.759
I say, well, where's your
lunch and he said, well, normally

86
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.439
she had snacks in here or whatever. Because I was seven, and I

87
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.160
said, well, wait a minute, hold on, I went in my

88
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.959
lunch box, and I didn't want
to give something I prepared or I wrapped

89
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.600
it. I wanted to make sure
I gave something pre wrapped. And so

90
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.879
he said, oh yeah, this
is a dude. I said, oh,

91
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.160
okay, fine, and I was
just like, you know, that

92
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.759
was just one and I had intend
to go this weekend, but other people

93
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.480
have other plans and they don't know
about my plans. So I had that

94
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:42.639
kind of but I got tomorrow.
So I still have tomorrow to do and

95
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.480
I'm gonna make sure tomorrow happened.
But I just I and it didn't even

96
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:54.199
I mean, I just did it, you know, not thinking well he

97
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.480
should have a lunch, or why
he can't buy no lunch, and you

98
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.199
know, boy, you need to
learn, like we did. We fill

99
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.319
out that for him for our moment, and I signed and we got a

100
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.839
free lunch car even though we know
that was frog, but you know,

101
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.560
it worked and we got away with
it. But I was just so touched

102
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.000
after God showed me because I said, look, I still got to speak

103
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.279
my people. He said, were
you gonna faed one? And I was

104
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.639
like, what fed? And he
said, you didn't even realize you were

105
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.480
giving to this young man and not
thinking nothing of it. Just free men

106
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.559
open, And that's what it is. That's where you're at, yes,

107
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.080
ma'am. That's where you do it
when you don't think about it. We

108
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.440
know what the call, you know
the call ends, and we got it

109
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.919
on our mind. So we are
aware. Where we're aware, something has

110
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.799
to happen, something has to take
place, and we're just waiting and waiting

111
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.679
for that moment when the opportunity is
correct. So I mean you had go

112
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.600
for and your heart aches, so
you know, I mean God is gonna

113
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.279
bless I mean, he's just flowing
me away with just revelation comments, just

114
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.320
little conversation he and I've been having
and I'm like, God, Wow,

115
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.399
developing a good habit to be watching
for anyone who needs help. Saky country.

116
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.080
See, you're absolutely correct. Just
getting formulating, that's how you renew

117
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.080
that mind. And then you start
to formula, you start thinking on these

118
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.240
things. You think on these things. But we don't want to get ahead

119
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.759
of the show, but thank you
all for and I know others probably will

120
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.200
lay the text inbox us and let
us know what they've done. That's all

121
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.559
I can say. I don't know
what we're gonna do, what we're doing

122
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.879
in November, but it's on him. It's on him, that's all I

123
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.639
can say. So we're just giving
him grace and mercy and we're just thankful

124
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.720
for him, you know, for
that. So now now, now,

125
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.960
now, the world just loves to
tell us how we need to be thinking.

126
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.000
I thank you, ladies for giving
me this habit. I have been

127
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.000
passing this exercise onto others as well, and you were gonna be so blessed.

128
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.159
Go ahead, thank you country.
See, we appreciate you, we

129
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.320
really do, and thank you for
being you for that, and we thank

130
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.240
you for that, and we pray
for you as well. Amen. Amen.

131
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:26.559
Well huh without further ado, huh, Here we go, Here we

132
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.960
go. It's gonna be a little
heated tonight, but here wen, there

133
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.440
may not be, you know,
because we're gonna say what we need to

134
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.559
say. We're gonna do what we
need to do. All helujah. Well

135
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.679
enough for me, I get the
fade to the black stage left. No,

136
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:50.120
I'm be here anyway. Tonight our
co host, lovely Miss Tommy Brown,

137
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:58.720
is going to lead us into and
some enlightenment and insight and motivation on

138
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:09.080
awareness versus woke. There is a
difference. There is a difference. And

139
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.559
I had been going through I tried
my little Webster dictionary and it was,

140
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.639
you know, just letting you know. It's a verb, you know,

141
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.559
participation. I'm like, give me
some more. So, of course I

142
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:35.840
go to old Google. Google has
differentness difference and like wokeness w O K

143
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:46.120
E n e SS, it can
sometimes be derogatory. I was like,

144
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:54.759
oh, and it's being derogatory in
the tents of being a noun, and

145
00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:07.120
it says the quality of being alert
too and concern about social injustice and discrimination.

146
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:16.240
Will this be the new era of
wokeness really changing things? Is that

147
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:24.600
not interesting to hear that? And
I was like, hmm. People are

148
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:31.720
aware of a lot of things,
but how much do we react to show

149
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:39.240
that we have awoke to something that
is going on? Something Just like we've

150
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:46.919
been aware of the war that's supposed
to happen in the north and south over

151
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.759
in Israel area. We've been knowing
that that's been in the world all our

152
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.720
lives. We've been reading the Word
and this has been. But now that

153
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:09.279
has transpired or may have started,
what the word has always spoke about.

154
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.720
Not only we are aware of it, but it is awakened us to realizing

155
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.440
what significance this have on not just
them, but us too, because it

156
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.840
affects all of us innocent lives.
When I speak of that, I mean

157
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:35.639
innocent lives that's being taken that did
they have a part in this or did

158
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.919
it not? And what was so
interesting last night we were watching sixty Minutes

159
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:52.240
and they were showing this elderly lady
that refused to give up her property because

160
00:13:52.320 --> 00:14:03.200
what has happened prior to this.
Russia invaded what is called Georgia and they

161
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.039
have taken over so much of it, I think a fifth of it if

162
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:16.039
I'm not mistaken. I'm not precise
on that listening to the article, but

163
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:22.440
they have bob wired around where you're
not supposed to come. And this elderly

164
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:30.080
lady refused to be moved. She
said, you know, she's she can

165
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.720
get away when one or two come
around. But she says, sometimes it's

166
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.120
a lot of them but she's staying. She keeps standing. She said how

167
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.759
she eat and how she gets supplies, Her family would bring it. And

168
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:52.360
she was showing the news anchor lady
that was heading this this article. She

169
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.919
said, over there on that hill, they're watching us, they're watching us,

170
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.679
and she's speak in that language.
You know that had to have an

171
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:09.559
interpreter. But she was very aware
of what was going on. But she

172
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:15.159
woke them up. But she refused
to leave. And that's called standing.

173
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:24.279
Do we just stand to fight up
against what we hear or what's going on,

174
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.559
or we just be aware of and
just lead did I and keep going

175
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:37.120
on as if nothing's going to happen. These wars are real. These wars

176
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.399
really affect all of us, not
just over there, but over here too,

177
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.240
because we have our children and young
people and officers and everything going over

178
00:15:50.279 --> 00:16:00.960
there to help protect, to help
prevent. But y'all to watch how we

179
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:08.320
vote as well, because the way
we vote this affects our livelihood. Let's

180
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:15.080
wake up now, not just being
awoke, but let's wake up because when

181
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.480
we vote a certain way just because
they are Republican or just because they're a

182
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:27.440
Democrat, we need to look at
what their true agenda is yes, it's

183
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.080
gonna be six on one in half
a dozen on another. But we're gonna

184
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.039
have to pray and will to seek
out who we are to vote in.

185
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:48.360
And unfortunately, the children of Israel
realize that they had to have a physical

186
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.960
being as a leader. Because all
the time when the children of Israel was

187
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.480
in in numbers, God was leading
them, God was guiding them, God

188
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:06.599
was feed God was providing for them. They didn't have no king. But

189
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.920
then they started crying out and wanting
to have this idol and got to have

190
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:17.160
this person over them. And God
said, okay, if that's what you

191
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:25.799
want, We've they in time.
We've seen good and bad kings. But

192
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:32.039
that's what man felt. They needed
for somebody to be over them instead of

193
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:38.599
being guided by God. Let's wake
up, not just be awoke, but

194
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:48.240
let's wake up to their awareness that
we know goes around. I'm finna hit

195
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:56.799
on something real sensitive right now.
Mothers, mothers, young black men as

196
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.720
as well as white men both,
for they're around here in this hatred type

197
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:12.279
mold wanting to shoot and kill,
shoot and kill to my black mothers.

198
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.200
We need to stand up, We
need to be like that Mama, that

199
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.839
went. I think it was in
Atlanta when they was marching during that time,

200
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:26.000
and she went and got him from
down there and whoop his behind because

201
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.160
he didn't need to be there.
It's a time to fight, and it's

202
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:37.240
a time not to fight. There's
a way to get what you want done

203
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:44.839
and find out who you to support. Those people don't care about our money.

204
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.599
They've shown us that they have undercoveredly
done things with our money because we

205
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.839
so quick to run out there and
buy and have them in this and we

206
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.200
gotta be cute, we gotta have
the long hand. We gotta have and

207
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.720
none of our own people are the
ones that's selling these things to us.

208
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:15.640
You know, you wonder how maybe
the Taliban and all these Arab countries can

209
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:22.000
be so rich, half of them
living here on in our convenience stores,

210
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:30.799
our grocery stores in the black community, all barred up, but yet they're

211
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.319
still making money off They survive in
the five year inch of any business,

212
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.720
because once you make your past your
fifth year, you're considered to be on

213
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:48.519
your way as successful. And a
lot of them they're not us, they're

214
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:56.960
not us, but we support it. We stay in the hairstore, our

215
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.319
young ladies, But we spend all
our money in their hairstore. But how

216
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:08.759
much money do we have in the
bank? How much can we how what

217
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:17.279
is our credit score? Because you
put in your money in your hair and

218
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.920
your looks, and you're cute.
But when it all boils down, if

219
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.240
you need a loan, if you
need to purchase you a car, if

220
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.759
you need to put yourself in a
position to take yourself out that high escalated

221
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:41.279
price of an apartment to a home
where it might be more affordable. But

222
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:49.240
we can't stay at the hairstore,
We can't stay at the mall, and

223
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:57.599
we can't afford some of us.
We go through this era of well,

224
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.000
okay, well talk to him and
date him and let him get me where

225
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.279
I need to go. But then
he feel like he's in control, and

226
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:12.599
here you come around with domestic violence
because he feel like I do so much

227
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:17.079
for you. I take you here
and I take you there, but you

228
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:23.359
ain't thinking about you. That gave
him some gas money. Mm, he

229
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:29.400
stayed up under your roof. But
because you stay in little housing, I

230
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.640
don't need to pay that. You
got that if what would you do if

231
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:41.519
I wasn't here? Ladies? We
got to wake up. We gotta realize

232
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:52.160
we have there's there is so much
to you that you can offer society.

233
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.480
You can offer your children. Just
I have my first child out of wedlock.

234
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:08.960
I ain't ashamed. I'm not ashamed. And unfortunately her father died in

235
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:15.440
a trucking accident trying to be a
provider. But at the end of the

236
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:22.839
day, we still survived. We
still go on and I raised her with

237
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:30.839
marvels and that's something we have gotten
away from people. Wake up just because

238
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.880
grandma said, and you ain't think
it was right, it wasn't hip.

239
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:45.079
Baby. You need to listen.
The elderly is only speaking wisdom. Listen

240
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.119
to your wisdom. They don't fail
a couple of times. They don't want

241
00:22:51.160 --> 00:23:00.240
to see you fall. Wake up, be awoke to the reality of how

242
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:06.279
to survive. Getting to know the
word of God, reading your word daily,

243
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:15.319
taking just five minutes out to read
his word. You have no idea

244
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:22.799
how that builds you up. Don't
neglect someone offering you the time to give

245
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:32.240
your life to Christ. Wake up, Wake up, because in just a

246
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.799
short while, I ain't gonna say
in a little bit, in a short

247
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:42.599
while, you're gonna wish you had
made that commitment and let him be the

248
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:49.920
lord of your life, because times
are getting hard and it ain't getting no

249
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.799
lighter. Just because it's fifteen dollars
an hour for a job, it still

250
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:06.319
don't match whether then have gone wear
fifteen dollars an hour in our parents' day.

251
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:15.680
Oh that's money. But in today's
society, you gotta do better.

252
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.519
You need that answer. So listen
to your wisdom. Wisdom starts in the

253
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:30.200
Word of God. That book can
teach you more about life. And if

254
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.839
you just listen and meditate, and
you don't have to read the whole Bible

255
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:41.599
in a year. But as you
read and meditate on it from day to

256
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.160
day, and read a little more, get a better understanding, get under

257
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:55.680
some word teaching, word teaching,
then you will open your heart to the

258
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:02.640
Word of God and you would be
support. I walked that walk because I'll

259
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.480
never forget. I used to work
downtown and it used to be this lady.

260
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.319
She used to say, you going
to hell. You're going to hell

261
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.640
if you don't repent and give your
life to God. And I used to

262
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.119
tell two of my friends, we
will always go to London. I say,

263
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.200
y'all, I'm going to hell because
see. If I got to be

264
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.720
like that, I'm going to hell. I'm a bust wide open. But

265
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:36.160
thank God, God had somebody with
compassion and some gentleness to minister to me

266
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:42.400
and teach me the word that that's
right, the living word is the way

267
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:52.119
that my life changed. My life
totally changed because I yeah, I was

268
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:59.920
you say something. Excuse me,
you know, uh, you know you

269
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.680
say something. Oh you don't know
me. Please don't don't try me.

270
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.960
And I know you know. I
could have been ghetto, but I chose

271
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.519
not to be. And as a
friend of mine says, you know,

272
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.599
y'all kind of boogie. Call me
what you want to, but guess what

273
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:25.720
I'm doing, all right, I'm
not scuffling. God got my back,

274
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.240
and I know how to send up
my prayers when I need him. I

275
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:36.000
ain't gonna say it always be easy, but I'm able to feed him out.

276
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.759
Thank you Lord. I'm able to
help somebody. I'm able to.

277
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:48.359
God has made ways that I have
no way of knowing how it's gonna turn

278
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:56.279
out. But you know what,
when he does that, I get excited

279
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.559
because when I want to look back
to see where I've been and where I

280
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.799
am, it just makes me just
jump and shout and run. And sometimes

281
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.839
people be seeing me with tears running
down my eyes and I be just giving

282
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:18.240
God the praise. So let's wake
up to all these things that we are

283
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:29.839
aware of, and the disfrience between
awoken and aware. Awoken, you acknowledge

284
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.440
and you want to do something about
that situation, whereas you are aware of

285
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.960
it, you see it, you
know it, but you don't do nothing

286
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:49.720
about it. You're not doing anything
about it, but you're aware of it,

287
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.519
just like you're aware that you have
to get up every morning and go

288
00:27:52.599 --> 00:28:02.240
to work. You awoke so that
you can go to work. But just

289
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.119
being aware that I need to get
a job and still not doing nothing to

290
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:14.880
get a job, not applying,
not making myself marketable. What good is

291
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:21.359
that? You just you're just like
what they say, matter is something that's

292
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:30.920
taking up space but has no purpose. So let's be awoken and get busy.

293
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:45.039
Let's put it to work. That's
my take. You pointing at me

294
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:52.279
now, just like that drop the
mic, you know, yeah, the

295
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.480
mic fixture, just dropping the mic. Well, I have to say,

296
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:03.200
Tommy, and you gave me a
whole different view of WOS because I looked

297
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.480
at society's definition and through their behaviors
when they talk about woke, you gotta

298
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.200
be woke, and I'm like,
okay, and where are you going?

299
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:18.480
How are you impressing well? How
are you making a difference at the end

300
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.799
of every day? How are you
making a difference? How is your life

301
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:29.480
impacting someone else? Maybe think about
something a little further tonight, I came

302
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.279
open even though I was going back
and forth on my you know what I

303
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.480
made. I never talk about.
I never pre rehearse what I'm gonna say,

304
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.039
you know, I just I wait, But I was thinking about it,

305
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:47.480
and again you took me down the
whole different road because I was gonna

306
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:53.039
be pro awareness versus being woke,
because I'm looking at how society has this

307
00:29:53.359 --> 00:30:00.480
defined wokeness and that's what society has
done. Changed precious words, empowerment,

308
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.599
motivationity' I mean, they perverted things, they put you know, they've made

309
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.880
it negative. So I thank you
and I thank god that you, you

310
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.559
know, did what you did and
what you went down a completely different road.

311
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.319
You totally surprised me and you got
me. You won me on that

312
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:26.640
because yeah, we need it's about
change and it's about action. It's about

313
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.160
action. You could be aware,
like you said, and sit on something

314
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.400
and okay, well I'm aware of
it, you know, but like that,

315
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:40.839
that was a nasty accident yesterday,
and I'm more I pray for side

316
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.160
of the road. If they got
their hood up or if they got their

317
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.240
changing attire, I pray for them. I don't know why, but I

318
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.400
just I just I would hope somebody
if I get in a situation like that,

319
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.000
somebody would pray for me. So
that's one of my it's not even

320
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:57.720
a prayer point, that's something I
automatically do. And I've talked my kids

321
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:02.680
that you know, don't say,
well what and this is a nasty accident.

322
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:03.960
I was like, okay, Lord, how can I get around this?

323
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:10.319
And you know, I'm aware,
I'm aware, and I saw the

324
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:14.319
fire truck and the paramedic truck come
in. I'm aware that there was an

325
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:19.160
accident. But my action people on
both sides. We don't know who did

326
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.039
what, but pray for both of
them. Because the air bags were popped

327
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.720
in everything, so you could see
that. So you know, being aware

328
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:33.160
takes action and being woke takes action
as well. Trey, come on,

329
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.000
well, let me, I was
I was listening to Tommy who so eloquently

330
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:42.720
put things like you to Lisia.
So when I went into this, came

331
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:48.799
into the show, I was thinking
about what I would say about those things

332
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:56.359
and so and I want to say
being woke was a terminology that was used

333
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:02.200
to be conscientious of things that are
going on around you. So that was

334
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:06.279
that was the word I think there
was. You know, a certain population

335
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.640
used you know, be be woke, you know, understand that discrimination is

336
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:16.079
still there, Understanding if somebody's trying
to screw you over, understand you know,

337
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:22.400
the injustices that are going on in
the world. And listening to how

338
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.559
wokeness is used now because we've kind
of gotten away from being woke, the

339
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:34.599
way it's doing is discouraging you from
understanding to being conscientious. So and I'm

340
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:38.960
curious to see just if I could
just get one a couple of people just

341
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:44.920
to answer a question. Honestly,
I hear you using this wokeness. You're

342
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.240
throwing this wokeness like it's a ball
back and forth. What does it mean

343
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:52.039
to you? And just not straight
away from and not lie about it and

344
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.039
not distorted, but the wokeness to
you? So what I what I hear

345
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:01.400
about you had this wokeness culture.
Well, the wokeness culture that now there

346
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:07.799
are things that you're trying to stifle
history from the books you don't want people

347
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.359
to do that. Is that the
wokeness that people want are pushing back and

348
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.359
that's what you're saying, This is
a woke society. Is it the fact

349
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:22.640
that we're intolerant of other people's beliefs
and cultures and values, whether we agree

350
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.319
with them or not. And you
want to throw out wokeness, This wokeness

351
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:31.160
society, the wokeness society is treating
people the way you want to be treated.

352
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.480
So why can't we have discussions about
that? You know, it's it's

353
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.519
it seems like it's cliche and it's
just throwing this word out that they really

354
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:46.680
don't have an understanding of what it
means. Wokeness to me started out being

355
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:52.200
something being conscientious of the things that
are going on around you, related to

356
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.799
like I said, social injustices,
discrimination, you know, how one group

357
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:04.400
treats the other things occur. It
did not like all this other stuff that

358
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:08.360
they're talking about. And so now
because people who don't research, who don't

359
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:15.960
understand who just for their own beliefs
are listening to the people that they follow,

360
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.400
Yes, wokeness, but asking what
does wokeness mean to you? I

361
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.639
bet you a lot of them can't
tell you what it is because it didn't

362
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:30.079
it didn't come from that and so
and I also think too, wouldn't it

363
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:37.000
behoove us as I don't totally understand
the way Walker's been here. Yeah,

364
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:42.559
it's it's it's the way sir.
Years ago it used to be like being

365
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:46.920
conscient. It's more like the word
conscientious of things that are happening, being

366
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.679
you know, to be aware looking
at things that are happening. Not necessarily

367
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:57.039
people coming out and saying certain things
and doing and blatantly in front of your

368
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:01.679
face, but kind of sidelining you
to get the results that they want to

369
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:08.920
either this exclude you from from whatever, from a job, from living in

370
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:15.639
the certain housing development, from making
a certain money, from going to certain

371
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:21.239
colleges. So that's what years ago
it was, that's what we were referenced

372
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:25.239
as being woke. This wokeness up
stuff is totally different. It's almost like

373
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:32.079
it's it's stirring up. It's stirring
up such stuff here it being right,

374
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:37.000
So, but just kind of explaining
that to you too, Misty, just

375
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:44.360
kind of listen to how it's being
thrown because it comes up typically when people

376
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:49.000
talk about wanting to read about or
include black history, it's been taken out.

377
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.280
Why wouldn't you want to know about
black history is a part of history.

378
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:59.480
You might not believe in other people's
sexual preferences, but understand it at

379
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.639
least under standing. You know,
I might it might not be for me,

380
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:07.880
but I can't go and tell somebody
that's not for you. You know

381
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.079
what I mean, understand it.
And the thing is, we don't have

382
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.280
dialogue about things we don't understand.
We want to quickly say, oh,

383
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:20.199
I don't believe in that, I
don't like you, and totally disregarding the

384
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:25.760
person that has the thing that you
disagree with, and right now apologize for

385
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:30.760
not having the eloquent words to put
there. But that's kind of sort of

386
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.800
everybody. I might not like what
you do, and you might not like

387
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.480
what I do, but get to
know me, Trey the person, get

388
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.480
to know Tommy the person, Lisha
the person, Revel the person before you

389
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.440
start saying oh I don't believe in
that, and you and you start having

390
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:51.119
an understanding and I think that's how
we learn from each other. I can't

391
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.719
say I don't I dislike a group
of folks. If I don't know,

392
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:59.039
it might be somebody in that group
that I don't like because based on their

393
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:04.079
behaviors, Hey, not treating people
correctly or whatever. But does that mean

394
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.639
because I dislike one person means like
I dislike the whole group that I think

395
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:15.280
we're getting away from knowing people and
not understanding. Even with people who are

396
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.920
strugg the homeless people, Oh they're
just doing this, that and the other

397
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.239
stuff, but they just want to
beg No, we don't know that story

398
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.760
at LISTA, you know, working
with the homeless population before some of these

399
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:32.480
people who are homeless used to be
have money. Life happens, and like

400
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:37.000
I said on the other show,
we are one step from being away from

401
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.960
anybody. We don't know what could
trigger us to result, the drugs to

402
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:45.159
trigger us to result, the alcohol
to trigger us to lose our jobs.

403
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.360
People lose jobs, it's nothing.
They don't have control over that. And

404
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.039
then if you don't have a way
to support port your your have your your

405
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.599
your lifestyle, and you don't have
the money to pay for your mortgage,

406
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:06.360
homeless there go I so we need
to start stereotyping groups of folks. Today's

407
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.039
dialogue is picking it aside versus seeking
understanding. Yes, yes, Miguel,

408
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:15.079
and I think it like communicating more
with people and you might people have a

409
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:22.400
story. So I think we need
to stop assuming that when we see a

410
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.039
person or hear of a group,
that we understand everything that's going. Everybody's

411
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:31.960
story is totally different. Tommy and
Lisa and I might look alike, but

412
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.039
our stories are very different. And
if you got a chance to know each

413
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:42.679
one of us, ooh, we
have similarities, but that's different. So

414
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.760
and I just will maybe just put
this a task to everybody find out something

415
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.559
that you didn't know whether, and
you don't even have to go ask anybody.

416
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:58.280
Google. Google has a lot of
stuff up there, Google Information.

417
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:05.159
And like Tomy said, understand who
are you you're putting into office? And

418
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.920
if you're putting somebody in that doesn't
want you to associate with any one of

419
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:14.840
us simply because of the way we
look. That's a problem. That's when

420
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:20.960
you need to be woke. That's
wokeness, but not the fact that we

421
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:25.719
don't get along. I want to
add to what you're saying, because as

422
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:32.559
I kept reading about it, to
me, sound like woke is a modern

423
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:45.559
day of prejudice because when you sum
up a person or you classify people just

424
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:52.360
on what you see, but you
ain't took the time to understand their culture,

425
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:58.400
the way they do things, or
why they do things that they do.

426
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:06.199
You you, that's modern day prejudice
because you don't know nothing about them,

427
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:12.599
but you prejudge from what you just
see. You prejudge a person,

428
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:23.119
and that ain't nothing but prejudice and
awokeness aware of activities and attendive too important

429
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:34.039
facts and issues, especially of racial
and social injustice. That's prejudice. So

430
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:39.280
let's stop being so prejudiced. And
like I never forgot who it was,

431
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:45.079
but we said, you know what, We're gonna learn about a different culture

432
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:51.679
every so many months, try the
food, find out what their lifestyles are

433
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.960
like. And I could say,
when I'm an Altamont, I have a

434
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:05.360
multicultural, diverse street. I ain't
gonna say neighborhood my street because to the

435
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:16.519
right of me, I had Brazilians, uh Bahamia and Diana and a white

436
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:25.440
couple. Then to my left I
had hispanic expanding white couple. And then

437
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.679
uh, I don't know if they
were Haitian or whatever, but we were

438
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:36.960
multi culture on just one street.
It was a cul de sac. And

439
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.760
you know, it's nothing wrong with
learning about another culture. It's nothing wrong.

440
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:51.360
Then you understand why they do certain
things. I never forget. We

441
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:59.320
went to Sanata set Santa, said
Juan, and it was like, wow,

442
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.800
why do some people put their clothes
on their the banner and they say,

443
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.400
that's how we dry our clothes.
We don't do dryers, We hang

444
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.480
them out with there. And they're
being in the city so they can't have

445
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:17.039
any lines like New York used to
have the lines from banner to banner in

446
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.920
the high rise, but they didn't
have that, so they put it on

447
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:29.480
their on their their banners outside of
their home and most of them stayed like

448
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:34.199
two or three floors up. I
was like, oh, and then we

449
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:40.559
tried their food. We enjoyed ourselves, getting to know somebody different, not

450
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.800
loving on them, and a lot
of times we just had a blast and

451
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:53.079
we enjoyed it. So let's kind
of stop their wokeness because basically a wokeness

452
00:42:53.159 --> 00:43:00.920
is nothing but modern day prejudice.
They just put it in a different words.

453
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:06.559
Thank you, Tommy, I thank
you for bringing down because it's how

454
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:14.480
people are using words and trying to
as they're trying to convey their their their

455
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.079
side of things and things like that. The bottom line is love yourself as

456
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:22.440
you would want, love others as
you would want to be loved. Do

457
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.679
unto others as you would have them
do unto you. We are not called

458
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:31.679
or chosen to the same issues.
Okay. And and you know another little

459
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:35.079
piece, and I'm not gonna have
time to really go into it, but

460
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.320
I have to say that this is
me. Nobody knows I'm going to say

461
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:45.480
this, but I'm this. And
the word civil rights, now everybody is

462
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:52.480
putting everybody in these clusters or in
under this umbrella. Civil rights and the

463
00:43:52.519 --> 00:44:00.320
civil rights movement belong to the black
American culture. Other culture have not been

464
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:14.239
hung or raped or made to nurse
of their master slave master's children. Everybody's

465
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:19.159
got a different definition of a different
piece of history. I cannot Jewish.

466
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.360
I did find out from twenty three
and me I gotta look Jewish in me.

467
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:30.719
But I cannot go around talking about
the Holocaust. I cannot that belongs

468
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:37.960
to one group of people experience history, context and you know, I may

469
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:43.159
be even help with some policy.
I can't even do the educational piece.

470
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:47.360
I don't know that from Hintite,
but I know civil rights from Hittitoe.

471
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:52.079
I wanted to be Native American both
Ancestry dot Com and twenty three and me

472
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.480
tell me I'm not. I wanted
to be DATD. You know, I

473
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.960
just wanted two percent. Just give
me two percent. But I'm all called

474
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.320
going east of the Congo down the
river Nile. I don't know nothing about

475
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:10.480
that. I have no history,
but the Native American culture have their history.

476
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:16.840
We cannot relate to that being moved
off your land promised that you are.

477
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:22.159
We've hasked some some pieces of that
conversation, but everybody wants to come

478
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:29.599
in and not have allow the Black
American experience to stay where it's at.

479
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:37.840
Educationally, I cannot if I'm a
I'm an r N. I cannot if

480
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.920
I'm a home health aid, I
cannot say I'm an LPN. But my

481
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.880
discipline of social work, just because
you major anthropology, you call and you

482
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:51.280
get a case manager job, you
call yourself a social worker. I don't

483
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:55.119
get it, because there's other disciplines
you can't you either, you get that

484
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:00.719
you're certified your license. If that's
what you are, you can't confuse it.

485
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.880
But I want to say, this
is what this wokeness and things like

486
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.159
that. It's something you know,
they want to throw out there and they

487
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:13.119
want to dig it and to me
for me, and I'm gonna end it

488
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:21.360
in this part. It's just another
fluff information. It's a fluff conversation because

489
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.760
like you said, y'all haven't done
your homework. You don't even know what.

490
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:29.119
Why are you standing saying this?
Why are you believing this? Why

491
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:32.880
are you getting behind this opponent,
why you're getting within this group? You

492
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:38.480
don't even know why you're there.
And that will create a problem because then,

493
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:44.159
like Pastor Miguel said, we can't
even have dialogue, We can't even

494
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.840
come to the table and sit down
because you don't know what you do.

495
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:54.039
You don't know why you're doing that, what is your history? So being

496
00:46:54.119 --> 00:47:00.599
aware, you need to be alert
and it needs to be action. Being

497
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:08.159
woke. According to Miriam Dictionary and
Webster's Dictionary, you are awaken and you

498
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:14.360
take action. If you go back
and look at those even thounder Google's definition,

499
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:21.199
you action awareness is a move.
You move it's a verb. You're

500
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.760
moving. You don't sit on something. You move with it, whether it's

501
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:32.000
to feed the hunger hungry, or
to go to a town hall meeting,

502
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:38.519
or to really pray about who you
should vote for. Just because you're a

503
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.280
Democrat, don't mean you have to
vote for somebody who's a Democrat if you

504
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:47.000
don't believe in it. If you're
a Republican and you don't have to vote

505
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:51.400
for somebody unless you really like that
person. Vote for who you like,

506
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.920
but ask God about it, because
guess what, either way, you're voting

507
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:05.280
for the lesser of the two evils. Well, I think everybody for coming

508
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.639
in and and just you know,
and I pray that you know, you

509
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.639
hear our hearts, and I feel
that those are those who are viewing us

510
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.840
tonight. Here are hearts, and
it will help you to step back.

511
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:20.679
If you haven't done it already,
You do your own You come up with

512
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:27.199
your own definition, You come up
with your own cause that you're gonna fight

513
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.559
for. You come up, we're
here to just set it straight. We're

514
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:36.239
gonna talk about both sides. We'll
hear them, set it straight. But

515
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:42.440
you come to a final decision that
you and you could take action on now

516
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.840
next week, I mean tomorrow's in
of of course, domestic bottlens awareness.

517
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.599
I've got my purple on here with
my lion head. That as we end

518
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.599
it, as we're rounding this off. But next week we are starting with

519
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:58.960
an awesome, awesome, awesome show
and we will have a guest who has

520
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:04.280
also showed up tonight in our audience. Hallelujah. God is good. But

521
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:07.760
it's gonna be We're gonna be talking
about in and open enrollment and things like

522
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:14.519
that. So bring your questions because
this person is the expert in my eyes

523
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:19.400
on this topic. So your concerns
or what pays for what? This is

524
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.039
the person and we may bring him
back twice, but come on back next

525
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.280
week, same time, same station. You all be blessed with pray for

526
00:49:27.320 --> 00:50:01.880
each and every one of you.
