Trade?

33
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.120
What's going on up there? How's the weather? And how's

34
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.439
the cultural weather going on up there?

35
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.080
It's a little cool, but not too bad in our sixties,

36
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.319
I think cultural weather. You know, you have people on

37
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.879
pens and needles because they not knowing what's next.

38
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.000
M okay and ms kay.

39
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.439
And you're within your group and you're in a group,

40
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.360
you're in a circle. How they doing? How they then managing?

41
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.520
Because most of them still live with you know, still

42
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.439
living home with family, But how are they doing?

43
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.919
Anybody concerned or everything is well? I don't think people

44
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.840
are paying attentions, so nobody knows.

45
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.479
What if they got a safety and they're okay, they

46
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.039
just they're just hearing things but they're not Wow, okay,

47
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.759
well just Lord Jesus.

48
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.400
I went to CVS earlier today and neighboring police department

49
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.919

00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.000
I just want to hear from y'all. Just just put

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.160
You don't have to say anything, but we just this

79
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:41.120
No no, no.

80
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.800
I just wanted to stay too on top of that

81
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:48.040
because you know, time has changed, and so just being transparent.

82
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.759
This is not really my favorite time. Hey, good evening?

83
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.439
Are you elder? K? This is not my favorite time.

84
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.120
It gets dark or quick it's was it sad uh

85
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.439
seasonal just disorder or something like that.

86
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:06.000
And I haven't seen the effective disorder, so I haven't

87
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.079
been diagnosed with it, but I don't really care for it.

88
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:09.600
I like the.

89
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.160
Sunshine, the longer days, and I know sometimes I get

90
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.360
off culture and I said, well, what is this, it's

91
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.639
it's so sometimes even if outside of whatever what's going

92
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.720
on now in the world, this is something that affects

93
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.199
me and I have to kind of learn how to

94
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.040
move a little differently. And so, you know, holidays coming

95
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.079
with it's okay, that is I mean, they're going to come,

96
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.839
but it's not like, oh I look forward to it.

97
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.399
I'm just overjoyed and excited about it. But there might

98
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.360
be others that might be feeling the same way. And

99
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.600
it's okay, it's all right, it gets cooler. I'm not

100
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.560
really a fan of the cold weather, so it adjusts

101
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.839
my my adjust you know, it affects me a little bit.

102
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.319
And so sometimes if I feel like, you know, I

103
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.399
need to do so, I might buy something just to

104
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.839
make me feel a little better, or go somewhere or

105
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.000
try to get some natural vitamin D doing when it's

106
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.360
a lighter outside. So I just want to kind of

107
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.399
throw that out as a check in as well. So

108
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.480
if anyone is feeling like that, it does happen. If

109
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.879
those some people are off culture, I know several people

110
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:13.319
like that.

111
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.439
Yeah, thank you for sharing that. And and that's real,

112
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:17.360
that's real.

113
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.519
And now it's a little more murkier now it's it's

114
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.519
a little bit more cloudy. There's a there's a fog

115
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.639
out here now. And so it's not you know, it's

116
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.000
not something. It's just it's it's just something. That's all

117
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.319
I can say. And we have to make the good

118
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.560
out of this despite what's being told. And again I

119
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.120
said last week, those are it doesn't pertain the folks

120
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.399
that are watching us. I'm sure even though you don't

121
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.199
mention your name and things like that, but you know,

122
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.800
you putting all this hate and this negativity out there,

123
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.800
and it's scaring people. You're trying to increase anxiety and

124
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.000
all that, putting lies out there instead of praying.

125
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.399
That's what you need to do. Oh, speaking good in

126
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.959
the atmosphere, for those of you who believe in the universe,

127
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.120
speak good, put good words out there in the atmosphere,

128
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.079
instead of trying to get your two seconds of fame.

129
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:10.720
You're not gonna go anywhere with that.

130
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.920
You're not gonna be made rich, you're not gonna be

131
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.319
made popular, and no one's gonna count on you. No

132
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.319
one's gonna You're gonna be like the boy who Cried

133
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.399
Wolf because nobody's gonna believe it, and you're gonna be

134
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.360
You can say, oh, I've got an alien right outside

135
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.360
my house and it could be really an alien there

136
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.279
hell janisaink you you know, you know you can do

137
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.720
the hey missy, you know, and and the alien could

138
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:34.800
be outside your door.

139
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.439
But nobody's gonna believe you, so stop it. Stop it.

140
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.800
It's nothing but lies that you're putting on social media,

141
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.959
and that's not nice. That's not nice, and you better

142
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.279
stop it. That's all I can say. You just need

143
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.199
to stop it. I don't need to know who you are.

144
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.120
I'm watching what you put on the on the you know,

145
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.360
out there, and it's all lies. I don't know why

146
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.000
y'all made.

147
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.160
Up that one about people storming Walmart and and and

148
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.240
and taking food off the shelves and all that. Yeah,

149
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.439
I don't know how they did that one. They looked

150
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.079
like real people. But you're lying and you need to

151
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.680
stop it. And November first, Walmart did not shut down.

152
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.600
The self checkouts are still fine, they're still there.

153
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.319
People were full, So cut it out. We don't need

154
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.079
it right now.

155
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.160
We as Americans forget about the politicians, but forget about

156
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.959
your commissioners, forget about your mayors. Forget about the governors,

157
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.920
forget about all those people. Leave politics out of this.

158
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.159
I'm talking about natural people. You need to be checking

159
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.600
on your neighbors. You need to be checking on people.

160
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.320
People who you think, well, she's fine. When you say

161
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.600
that by the person, check on him. Oh he's all right,

162
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.240
he's got no don't worry about what he got. Check

163
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.720
on him now, because we don't know what people are thinking.

164
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.399
We don't know now what people are thinking.

165
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.080
I saw so many frowns.

166
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.519
I saw people bringing back merchandise into the uh uh

167
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.759
into the while I'm there, and I'm like, you know, yeah,

168
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720
this this is thank you, Biki, this is this is

169
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.759
no time for that now, Okay, no time for that now.

170
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.720
You need to go ahead. Oh okay, I got them.

171
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:04.919
Now.

172
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.080
You need to be being as positive as you can,

173
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.000
and and and and and and just if you're gonna

174
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.039
put something on foot on social media, but hey, hope

175
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.600
everybody's having a good day. That's all you need to do.

176
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.200
I hope everybody's having a good day. That's that's what

177
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:22.600
you need to do. You need to cut it out.

178
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.320
You need to cut it out now.

179
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.720
We need to. Now I'm gonna talk to the religious

180
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.919
leaders out there. If you've got a physical church, a

181
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.600
brick and mortar, it's time for food banks. You now

182
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.279
check it. Now. This is gonna sound a little odd.

183
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.480
But what the Lord showed me was and told me

184
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:40.840
to say it was.

185
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.120
Check pastors, pastors of your churches. Check on your members first,

186
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.399
because we can if the members are good, they could

187
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.679
come out and volunteer and help get this food.

188
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.360
Go buy food, whatever the case. Go buy goods and

189
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.759
things like that. And it's time to store it in

190
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.960
the storehouse. You check your doors, make sure you reinforce

191
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.480
the locks, because this now week, it's storehouse time. It

192
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.279
is storehouse time. This is not getting ready for a

193
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.279
tornado or hurricane. This is getting ready for life. And

194
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:12.919
you need to go to the Bible and read about

195
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.519
Joseph during the days of family. He was able to

196
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.639
sustain a country, a nation for seven years.

197
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.600
And then the famine came. It was coming.

198
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.360
It's coming, So you all need everybody, you all as individuals,

199
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.759
going back to the pastors. It's time for storehouse time.

200
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.759
You big churches, little churches, I don't get you little churches.

201
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.240
You need to come together because there's one area downtown

202
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.559
that's got five churches on every block. There's five churches

203
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.120
in a cul de sac, and y'all don't y'all each

204
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.200
maybe had three to five cars there on a Sunday.

205
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.200
Now those days are gone. It's time to come together.

206
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.440
Somebody be responsible for slightly used clothing. We don't even

207
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.279
have time to get it to good will. Y'all go

208
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.879
ahead and set up a shop. If somebody needs diapers.

209
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.840
You got a babe of new boards coming in being

210
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.120
birthed into the church. You need to have your you

211
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.879
need to have stuff for newborn babies. You need to

212
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:07.799
check your check your congregation first, then get ready. It's yeah,

213
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.200
it's because you know, we just don't know. You know,

214
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.559
we don't know what we don't know. We don't know

215
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.200
this one. We don't know this one. We can't say, well,

216
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.039
you know this. Okay, we're gonna shut down probably in

217
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.639
about three months, and then we're gonna do we don't

218
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.000
know this one. We don't know this one. And of

219
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.039
course pray. Now we'll bring the politicians only into say

220
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.080
pray that they come to their senses and deal with

221
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.879
the shutdown mess. That's all I can say about that.

222
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.919
But I'm not I'm not concerned about that. They're not

223
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.159
on my prayer point list. My people, the people are,

224
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.080
and the people inside the church, if people inside your organization,

225
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.600
that people inside your building, that you work with, your coworkers,

226
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.480
that's who I'm targeting, because they'll never tell you that

227
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.759
they got a problem. Oh they only had soup three

228
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:52.480
nights in a row.

229
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.480
They won't tell you that. So you got to go

230
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:55.559
and you're gonna have to, you.

231
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.720
Know, do a little hard court press, as they say

232
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.200
in basketball, which means are you all right?

233
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.080
Now? I'm talking to you? Are you okay? Do you

234
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.519
have enough? How are you doing on grocery? How are

235
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.559
you doing to see everybody?

236
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.720
And I got food stamps now, you know, and I

237
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.120
don't know if it was distributed in I don't know

238
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.120
because I found out that most of the time food

239
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.159
steps are just not distributed on the first of the month.

240
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.000
It's not like Social Security. It's not not SSI, when

241
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.320
you know, they're different days that people get their stamps.

242
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.600
So you you all sitting there putting out that lie.

243
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.759
But all the first and for old Saturday, we're gonna do.

244
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.000
All a lie, all a lot.

245
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.639
I think it used to be years ago from what

246
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.720
I remember working.

247
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.720
I think it used to be like the first of

248
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.120
the month.

249
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.440
But I think they because everybody was bombarding the stores

250
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.000
and they would run on quickly. I think the idea

251
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.159
was to scatter them out on and I don't know

252
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.799
how they did it, but in certain days if I mistaken,

253
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:53.879
yeah it is.

254
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.879
I talked to somebody who knows people that are you know,

255
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.200
get them and stuff like that. These days are up

256
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.279
a stamps and for cash and all that. You better

257
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.600
watch that because there there is eyes. There's a set

258
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.039
of eyes on every corner.

259
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.960
If we've got a stop sign and we've got something

260
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.519
electronic there that there's eyes in that. We've got five

261
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.840
five g is everywhere, so people are watching and they

262
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.559
can they can do an analysis on your giving and

263
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.799
your spending and all that kind of so, so be

264
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.559
careful about that because you could be looking at jail time.

265
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:27.600
I don't even know.

266
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.279
I'm not saying that's to be for certain, but you

267
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.840
need to be very careful about that.

268
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.200
I know people used to do that. I know people

269
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.519
used to do that. Cut that out, Cut that out.

270
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.960
I don't have enough credit, good credit to get the

271
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.840
furniture at the Renais Center so you get the furniture.

272
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.080
And I'll get the cell phone. Cut that mess out.

273
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.039
That's that's over. That's over. We can't help each other

274
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.279
like that. We can't.

275
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.879
We just got I gotta make sure you're okay. I

276
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.159
got to make sure you're okay. That's what That's where.

277
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:54.919
We're at right now.

278
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.000
And I know my faithful few listeners y'all are already

279
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.559
on it. Y'all looking at other people. Know, listen, listen

280
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.480
real closely. How they how they say, Oh, I'm okay.

281
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.320
Something something's not quiet.

282
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.759
And we're not trying to get an your business, but

283
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.440
we have to get in your business because I don't

284
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.440
want you to have the there's there's voices in your

285
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.799
head telling you something else, and we're overriding the voices

286
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.039
in Jesus' name. Every church, it is time for you

287
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.840
to be a storehouse. So you talk to the church

288
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.279
folk next door to you or on the opposite corner

289
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.720
of you, and let's get together. We can't rely on

290
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.440
the food banks. The food bank is it can only

291
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.360
go so far, It can only go so far. Where

292
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.039
do you start? What do you do next? Your spheres

293
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.919
of influence, talk to your doctors, talk to your dentists,

294
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.919
the people who've known you, who've been treating you for years,

295
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.120
and saying, can I set up a box here for

296
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.080
for food and I'll take it to my to my neighborhood,

297
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.919
whatever the case may be. But we're gonna need we're

298
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.360
gonna need pockets of these all around food mainly, but

299
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.559
also non tangibles, your diapers, your bottles, your onesies, you know,

300
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.080
things like thatcause people are not gonna have the but

301
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.759
you're gonna have to be able to give things away, clothing,

302
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.440
whatever it is, slightly used. Now, don't be don't don't.

303
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.080
Don't you want if you don't, you wouldn't buy it.

304
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.279
Don't don't, don't donate it, throw it away, Mass for

305
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.240
prayers for Ms Adams. We may lose it anytime. Oh Mickey,

306
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.080
she's a good woman. Okay, we will lift her up

307
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.919
in prayer. Let me write her name down. You just sits.

308
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.720
We'll lift her up in prayer most definitely. Thank you, Micky.

309
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.679
We got it. It's here.

310
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.080
No, no, no, I was just gonna say, as far as, like,

311
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.279
you know, looking at some things that that you know,

312
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.559
faith based organizations can do and set up a community

313
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.840
garden or each each church off each church did like

314
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.799
a garden, taught people how to grow things or you

315
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.600
know they can. That will be one way because right

316
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.759
now vegetables and stuff like that, they're tainted with different

317
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.159
pesticides and stuff that can be very harmful for you.

318
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.200
Even the stuff that they they have in the grocery stores.

319
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.879
You look and this was recalled and that was recalled.

320
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.399
But a community garden at a church would be nice.

321
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.759
Sometimes you can do something on the inside, if it's

322
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.879
a window or now you can google it's different things

323
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.879
that they have out there, little plant lights that you

324
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.360
can maybe grow food or something like that. But those

325
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.759
are some creative and possibly inexpensive ways to be able

326
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.799
to help your parishioners. And I know stuff has to grow,

327
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.039
but still it's a start, you know, finding out what

328
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.440
it is you need to do and then looking on

329
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.840
you know, I follow a lot of stuff on Facebook

330
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.320
or TikTok, and I see you know, mothers, mothers of

331
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.840
multiple children doing videos about budget, you know, feeding their

332
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.759
children on a budget and plating the food and stuff.

333
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.720
So I'm pretty sure if you get enough viewers, it

334
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.440
draws in the income. So people are being very creative

335
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.480
and it's some nice stuff, you know.

336
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.600
And I saw one mother, I.

337
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.039
Think she's a mother of two. She plays her kids food.

338
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.919
But then I saw her plating. She would say, getting

339
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.119
ready to serve one hundred homeless people. And she places

340
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.359
it and she goes in her car and she has

341
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.119
them all the food snacked up. Do you want a fruit?

342
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.599
Do you want to snack? What kind of snack you want?

343
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:12.359
You want chips?

344
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.880
And she's fed people. So just creative ways that people

345
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.920
can kind of help and give back.

346
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.400
And so just want to kind of put it out

347
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.599
there if you have some type of means, those are

348
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.160
small things that could be helpful. And folks, folks are

349
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.440
really they're really scared right now with this kind of climate.

350
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.279
And folks weren't said I had to.

351
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.160
I had to.

352
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.480
Appreciate being able to be here. Thank you, Bicky, And

353
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.920
we appreciate you being here.

354
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.440
Thank you. This is nobody but God. This is nobody

355
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:41.799
but God.

356
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.440
And God knows you by He knows the very hair

357
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.160
on your head. I was doing my worship this morning,

358
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.480
studying my word. I kept thanking God and thanking him

359
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.319
that you waited on me, Lord, you waited on me

360
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.400
until I was twenty two. And even though I was asking, saying, hey,

361
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.160
can you help me, you know, help me with my

362
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.200
two tests, you waited on me.

363
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:03.720
And he's waiting on y'all.

364
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.240
And you're right there, if you're already in the number year,

365
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.640
he's waiting on you. And all I could do was

366
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.839
thank him, because you know, despite and all that I've

367
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.799
gone through, all that we've gone through, y'all, all the

368
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.839
bad experiences, the being rejected, to being gossiped on, to

369
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.079
being forgotten, to being lied to, there going through the

370
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:28.400
emotional and mental and and and and financial abuse and trauma,

371
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.880
all that, he knew. He knew that we were gonna go.

372
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.640
He's watching because we have free will. We have free will.

373
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.240
He's like, if they if they just give.

374
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.119
Me a minute, if they just hold on for just

375
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.079
a minute, you know, change is coming. The sun is

376
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.400
gonna rise tomorrow.

377
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.799
We're gonna cry it out today, but I will dry

378
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.079
your tears along the way. And that's why I had

379
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:52.960
to give him things this morning, because I'm like, you

380
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.799
waited on me.

381
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.519
You counna just you know not. You waited and you

382
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.640
were there, Jesus, yes you were and you took me.

383
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.920
And I've been running ever since, and yet I've had problems.

384
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.799
I've slowed down, I delayed some things. I went God,

385
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.799
you know what I'm reading to bother you don't don't

386
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.680
go there. That's the biggest mistake I've ever made. But

387
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:14.680
I'm thinking that I'm being too much of a problem

388
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.480
to God to take my problems to God. He already

389
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.599
knew that I was gonna have these problems, so he

390
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:20.599
already has the answer.

391
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.319
He already has the solution. He already had the solution.

392
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.559
So why can't I not? Why should I not take

393
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:26.000
it to him?

394
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.240
So just you gotta trust him, and you know, is

395
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.680
the change gonna be for the good, even though though

396
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.359
