So please just I'll read you as you come in.

38
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.039
But you know, God has been God is just so awesome.

39
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:55.560
I had a great time. My daughter, mss kay. Just

40
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.400
put a foot elbow, you know, all in the food.

41
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.639
I don't know who this child is is. I don't

42
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.520
know who this child is. It's not from well, it's

43
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.840
kind of from my side of the DNA. But you know,

44
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.759
but she can cook, and you know, you give her

45
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.199
ingredients and she can put something together. Okay, So her

46
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.879
catering so waring to people who don't support her business,

47
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.439
her catering business, a baking business.

48
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.840
Uh worn to you. You're missing out.

49
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.960
And she has she's a she has a healing gift.

50
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.879
One of her major gifts. It's that of healing. So

51
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.759
if she's whether she's rubbing the shampoo in your head

52
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.680
or cooking you a three course meal, healing is in

53
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.879
is in it. And uh, too bad you lose out

54
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.000
because you you know, don't want us support, but yet

55
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.680
you want us to support you. So we're going to

56
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.400
leave that alone because I'm gonna I'm coming in on

57
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.000
a happy note. I'm ending on a happy note. I

58
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.759
am not in the mood. And here we go. All right,

59
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.000
where's my audience out there somewhere? I know you're on there,

60
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.080
even you who troll, we know you're out there. But anyway,

61
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.319
we're going to continue to go on. Miss kay. How

62
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:07.800
was your Thanksgiving? Because you was in the kitchen, poor baby? Right, yeah,

63
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.680
it was good that you know, for all of us

64
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:16.279
just to be here, right, huh, overly productive, overly productive.

65
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.600
She bake, she baked desserts as well, and you know

66
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.160
it's just and she had to keep, you know, our

67
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.079
little princess out of the kitchen because she she smells food.

68
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.680
She thinks she's supposed to be a part of that.

69
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.279
And so it was a day. But it was just

70
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.680
good to have the kids, everybody's here at home. Thank

71
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.480
you for everything. Oh you made even more special, misty

72
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.920
my heart. God, bless you, God, bless you. That's God.

73
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.360
But you can think good evening, looking good ladies. I

74
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.519
thank you, But no, that's all God. That was all God.

75
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:51.480
And and you know this is the reason God prompting me,

76
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.120
allowing me and using me to do that, to be

77
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.920
that conduit that further tells me and proves my point

78
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.439
that no church should have a mortgage. No church, no

79
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.439
physical building should have congregate members that are lacking and

80
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.720
that are suffering and don't have Hey, Trey, Tray, how

81
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:21.759
you doing good? Even I love Trey. Trey pauses before

82
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.120
she speaks, even though she knows I need to say, Hey,

83
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.759
how you doing, She's like, hang on a minute. So

84
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.839
I love you for that, girl, I got you. You

85
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:29.839
do what you got to do.

86
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.800
But I was just you know, talking about Missy.

87
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.920
I think it was Missy that was thanking us for

88
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.120
the love offering and the seat offering, and it's all God.

89
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.439
It's not us, it's all God. I do what I'm told.

90
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.759
But I was just saying that that. But that's another reason,

91
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.600
just that, just that that event by itself is a.

92
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.439
Reason to me that further proves that no physical church.

93
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.600
Or synagogue or temple or whatever, where you've got people

94
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.040
coming in to be set free, to be yield and

95
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.079
they are sharing, hopefully by the leader of the Holy Spirit,

96
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.680
the tithe and they're offering and the speed offering, and

97
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.839
they leave the church empty, emptier than they came that.

98
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.759
I'm gonna let that sit for a minute. I shared

99
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.800
with you week months ago that I had students in

100
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:22.600
class that was saying, oh, missus Gray, if you had

101
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.759
a church, I would be right there. And I said, well, no,

102
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.439
we only meet by every three months. They're like what

103
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.560
I said, Yeah, we only meet by three every three months.

104
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.800
Just to make sure you have all your resources. You

105
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.360
have all the toolkits, you have all the brochures, or

106
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.879
you have the Bibles or you know, whatever what do

107
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.199
you people need? You're gonna feed give me feedback all

108
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.959
the time on what the needs are in your community

109
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.879
or the the the sheep that you're you know, you're fostering,

110
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.879
you're shepherding. I'm you're not gonna sit up nder me

111
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.360
and I'm gonna sit there and preaching. We got to

112
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.639
have us the service here we got. Oh, it's time

113
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.639
for this, and it's time for that. I know we

114
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.360
we we were hoodwinked. We were hoodwinked because back in

115
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.639
the day, our people and Native American people, they weren't

116
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.120
having all this, you know, ceremonial stuff like okay, it's

117
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.759
eleven o'clock. Vicky, you were amazing. Thanks even it was

118
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.439
even more fabulous. We thank you for being a part

119
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.959
of our lives in many ways. And it was was

120
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.199
it you, Mickey or Misty? H took that and gave

121
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.240
it to a family that had had a need. Which

122
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:23.199
one of you was it?

123
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.120
I think it was Nikki, Maybe it's Missy, but you.

124
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.360
Don't let me know. But yeah, they turned around and

125
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.600
gave it because the kids in the car who listened

126
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.399
to us, and somehow they found the driver with somebody talking.

127
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.319
Oh the driver said yes, they needed it, so she

128
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.079
in turn gives it to them. I said, no, you

129
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.040
know that was supposed to it's supposed to be for you.

130
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.800
Because no, that's what makes me happy. That's beautiful, that's

131
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.759
what makes me happy. We didn't create this, guys. I

132
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.519
just followed what God tells me to do. And I'm

133
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.680
telling you there's no physical church that need to be

134
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:08.000
dependent upon what they raise every Sunday or every Bible

135
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.800
study night or whatever the case. And the dues to

136
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.800
be a member. And then you've got the apostles out

137
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.879
there who's supposed to be gathering developing churches.

138
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.399
You got to pay a fee to be a part

139
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:19.759
of that conclave.

140
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.240
Come on, come on, This just a loan. This just

141
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.759
a loan. As a past I'm standing at the front door.

142
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.160
Just give me fifty dollar bills, one hundred dollar bills

143
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.600
here here, don't ask, just go do, don't ask, don't

144
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.679
just go do none of you. I'm gonna I'm gonna

145
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.080
go a little further. And this is all me. This

146
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.679
is all me. But I'm over it. I'm over people

147
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:45.279
using us, I'm over people lying. I'm over people. You know,

148
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.960
you gotta you know, you're making excuses instead of just

149
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.679
telling the true. And that's why God told me heaven

150
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.559
will not be crowded. We've got a church on every street,

151
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.759
every street. He even here, God bless you even here

152
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.320
in our life in central church. Every street. There's one

153
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.759
area where three churches make up a cul de sac.

154
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.360
Three churches and they have no more than three to

155
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.080
five cars in the perko love. I drove by there

156
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.240
on a Sunday on purpose, and I said, I got

157
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.120
to see how this works here. How can you be

158
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.799
three churches and a little circle Simmon's half circle no

159
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.600
more than three.

160
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.879
To five cars in each park? It made no sense.

161
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.080
It made no sense.

162
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.759
But I say it again. Go ahead, go ahead, you

163
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:29.519
can get me off of this.

164
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.440
I'd just be curious to see if you sat down

165
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.960
with the churches. And I know some of them have

166
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.840
a to draw people to discipleship, to lead them to Christ.

167
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.720
I understand that, but sometimes you have to do it

168
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.759
non traditional way. You know, you have to do it

169
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.080
outside of the walls. And I can. I'm sorry to

170
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.639
keep beating this dead horse, but sometimes people will not

171
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.399
come in the four walls. They're intimidated by that. And

172
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.639
it's unfortunate that it's the people of faith or Christians

173
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.919
or something like that that are pushing pushing folks away

174
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.000
when you everybody that comes to the church needs healing

175
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.240
for some type of way. Everybody's at a different level,

176
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.840
So why why would you want to make someone feel differently?

177
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.240
That's that's a teachable moment. That that's you teach them

178
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.679
by the the the uh not invitedness, the pleasant trees,

179
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.279
or the friendliness, show yourself friendly or kind you know,

180
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.679
the kindness, the fruits of the spirit. That's that's what

181
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.080
you do. Don't criticize what they have, okay, teach them

182
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.799
or say, let me just show you this is you know,

183
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.360
pull them aside a little later, but you don't want

184
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.159
to say, you know, I'm glad you came, but you

185
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.480
know you shouldn't have worn that. Then then you know,

186
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.440
if that's all I have, then I'm not coming back

187
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.000
and I might not try another one because seeing one,

188
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.840
you're seeing them all. And that's that's the unfortunate part.

189
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.279
And sometimes we have to do non traditional ways to

190
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.960
draw people to Christ. And that might mean from your

191
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:17.279
car mission work, ministries, outside of the walls, community event resources.

192
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.519
Because you're showing Okay, I want to help you. So

193
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.279
therefore I'm bringing resources. The church can do this, but

194
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.720
let me bring some other people and partner with that

195
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.600
to show them that we want you this to work.

196
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.960
You know what I'm saying. So only if people hungry,

197
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.960
they're not going to get fair. If they're not fed

198
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.120
food wise, they're not going to be recepted to be

199
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.679
fed spiritually. Because I'm hungry. I want to give thanks

200
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.000
to you. Oh, we appreciate you at the stage.

201
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.559
But I just I just want to be Okay. It's

202
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.960
amazing to see the joy. The family is doing well

203
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.919
and the father and the family found a job after

204
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.240
helping someone out o the blue who had broken down.

205
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.320
Wow.

206
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.960
That see, that's what I'm saying. Technic is this church.

207
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.559
Church can't make it up, church, saint nobody can't make

208
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:09.879
it up. Oh my god, see see just a glimmer

209
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.200
of hope, Just a glimmer of hope. That's all he needed.

210
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.440
And he saw somebody else in need, didn't have time

211
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.320
to reflect on nothing, and oh my goodness, let me

212
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.279
go help. You don't need a physical church. And tay Trey,

213
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.159
you just described the Book of Acts study, the Book

214
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.759
of Acts. That's the book of Acts. I've been telling

215
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.559
y'all forever. We're headed to Acts chapter two, were happened.

216
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.039
We're headed to that where they came together because Jesus

217
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.399
what Jesus barely went into the temple. He barely and

218
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.519
every now and then he was in somebody's home. But

219
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.320
he was in the street. The majority of his ministry

220
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.120
occurred in the street. And he didn't have any flyers.

221
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.480
He didn't have Okay, I need to send out some postcards.

222
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.279
Ahead of me, No wherever he's stopped, and he's walking

223
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.720
through and then he's walking You see them man by

224
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.919
the pool of Bethesda, by the pool and the men

225
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.519
the Bible said, the men brought him there, put him

226
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.759
down by the pool, and they went into the church.

227
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.960
Who does that? It's like a domino back. People helped him,

228
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.320
He helped the person, that person offered him a job

229
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:15.960
he needed.

230
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.960
I'm gonna run run if I could run.

231
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:26.080
This is my God, Jesus, Oh.

232
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.639
You know this is this is so can I I

233
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.279
have to share. I was, Oh, my gosh. So I

234
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.000
had a moment over the weekend, and you know, I

235
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.879
was all Thursday and Friday, and typically sometimes I go

236
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:44.879
and work with you know, Lisa. And I got up

237
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.720
and I said, okay, it's a beautiful day. All praise

238
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:51.360
to God, yes el the kay and I went to

239
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.679
the park and it was beautiful and I sat out

240
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.440
there just kind of enjoyed the fresh air, the sunshine,

241
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.840
and I just started talking to God and I and

242
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.120
I said, what it? What is it? What am What

243
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.120
am I supposed to be doing? And I was thinking

244
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.759
to myself, and I said, you know what, I've done

245
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.279
pretty much everything, with the exception of fasting and praying

246
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.919
and I and I admit that I haven't. So Saturday night,

247
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.840
I started fasting around nine o'clock PM, and I did

248
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.440
not have anything to eat until nine o'clock this morning.

249
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.159
It was a start, and and and I was praying,

250
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:34.360
and I was organizing and listening to word and sermons

251
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.600
and so I filled my days with that and and

252
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.320
it's a different experience. I was trying to explain him,

253
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.120
but I felt that God was discerning a lot. You know,

254
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.519
I saw things a little differently to this morning. And

255
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:53.440
and but yeah, yeah, so I just want to I

256
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:59.720
did it.

257
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.039
It's it's crazy that this is going on because I

258
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:07.000
just had a whole conversation with a friend, like literally

259
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.440
before I got on the show today about you know,

260
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.159
especially when you're mentioning mentioned judging in the church and

261
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.440
everything like that, I'm like, you know, they can't judge

262
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.480
when they're doing the same thing.

263
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.639
And I don't know.

264
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.320
Why Christians want to put themselves on a pedestal when

265
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.600
you're doing the same thing as somebody that's you know,

266
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.279
trying to come into faith or just a center period,

267
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.799
whether they have faith or not.

268
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.840
And I was just expressing to him that, like, I just.

269
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.279
Don't understand as young individuals, why aren't we taking heed?

270
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.399
You wonder where you are in life, you wonder why

271
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.360
you're in the place you are, but you're not seeking

272
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.679
after God and then you're praying you're not. There's ways

273
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.639
to pray correctly. And I tell people all the time,

274
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.399
you think of first, How I do I think them first?

275
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.600
For everything I rekent so forth. You know, everybody want

276
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.399
to go to God and just ask, ask, ask, and

277
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.159
that's not what it's about. And it's crazy, Like I

278
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.879
had chills cause I'm like, you know, there's so many

279
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.399
testimonies in the Bible, miraculous stuff, impossible stuff, and you

280
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.960
wonder why you made it out of an impossible situation.

281
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.600
And you think you did it by yourself, but who

282
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.159
entire time you wasn't even by yourself. And I'm just like,

283
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.639
and you know, I mentioned like when my mom was

284
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.840
in the hospital, every day I got emotional, and I'm like,

285
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.080
you know, if none of my friends believe in God

286
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.679
based off of that story alone, you should believe in God.

287
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:28.120
Simple. We didn't know my mom was dying. We didn't know.

288
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.039
They called us up there for us to pull the plug.

289
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.399
We went out there and prayed, and then a doctor

290
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.919
saying she's doing a whole three sixty, taking her off

291
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:37.919
of every much our kid, you not else, probably over

292
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.960
fifteen machines in that room. You cannot tell me there's

293
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.159
not a God. You cannot. That's what faith looks like.

294
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.159
Like people want to actually see a physical being, to

295
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.720
be able to believe, to be able.

296
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.240
To guide them.

297
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.159
And it's like, it's not about it's not about that.

298
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.960
And I was expressing to them, I'm just like, you know,

299
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.080
I don't understand why we're doing this to each other,

300
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.879
Like I don't unders and what's to come is not

301
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.880
gonna look pretty. I'm like, for all we know, majority

302
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:06.359
of the people I know, I know is going to hell.

303
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.599
Like I just had to have a real conversation because

304
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.640
it's just like we're prideful. We're not repenting.

305
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:17.440
I am, but we're not repenting. We're not reading you.

306
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.480
All you do is pray. That's not enough and mistraining.

307
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.279
When you mentioned fasting and everything like that, I stress

308
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.319
how important it is because it's like when you have

309
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.480
when you don't know where else to go, that's what

310
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:28.960
you need to do.

311
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.039
Like that's like it says it in the Bible. I

312
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.480
forgot that.

313
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.640
Yeah, it'll probably come back into my head. But we

314
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:40.240
have too fast to see, like to really kill our

315
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:43.720
flesh because we all love food. Everybody love food. Everybody

316
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.240
love to eat. But you gotta turn that plate. God

317
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.559
thinks like he knows we're not gonna sacrifice that. We're

318
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.920
not gonna sacrifice food. We're not gonna stop eating to

319
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.960
just sit there and dwell in his place, because you know,

320
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.160
a lot of us we don't even give him enough time.

321
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.759
I have to repent of that. I'm not giving putting

322
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.200
my schoolwork above God. We don't even realize how much

323
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.200
stuff we do daily.

324
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.920
Just putting that over just spending that time with him.

325
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.279
So it's like, I don't know what that is, but hello,

326
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.000
God bless you els. But yes, and it's just like,

327
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.119
you know, the fact that you mentioned that, it's just

328
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.240
so important. I was really trying to stress that to

329
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.720
my friend and everything like that to understand, like everything

330
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.279
we've gone through in life is a testimony I believe

331
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.039
for anyone if you went through traumatic so it doesn't matter,

332
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:34.839
it's a testimony you got through it. You're here so right.

333
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.039
But yeah, and it's just very inspirational that you shared

334
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.240
that because it just ties in with the conversation I

335
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.799
just had. It's more in depth. But it's crazy, she

336
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.559
comes back, Mom, what did you do?

337
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:48.880
Right?

338
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.759
But now I was just sharing how like just inspirational

339
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:52.119
that was.

340
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.039
And then like the season we're in right now, mam,

341
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.079
and like what we're doing, and it's just everything just

342
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.799
ties together and it's crazy conversation with him. I'm like,

343
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.519
who are they to judge? You're doing the same thing

344
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:05.079
this persons?

345
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.680
Who are you to judge?

346
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.240
And I just wish people would getting off off that

347
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.519
pedestal because it's just like, but God's gonna judge at

348
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.839
the end of the day he's coming for the church first, so.

349
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.640
Take it out, take it.

350
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.880
I just feel full, you know, I you know, but

351
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.880
look look at this. I was listening to a sermon

352
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.720
and a gentleman out of Atlanta, Bishop del Brauner. And

353
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:35.079
when I say he I listened yesterday. I was last night,

354
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.720
and stomach was starting to kick in, and it didn't

355
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.599
bothered me the whole time. I said, Okay, now I'm

356
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.079
on this stretch. I said, I'm trying to make it

357
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.160
to nine o'clock in the morning, and my stuff, I said, okay,

358
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.519
I got it. I'm gonna do it. And it just

359
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.880
like I don't have my notes in front of me,

360
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.359
but I was reading my notes to my coworker. But

361
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.880
I'm listening to our conversations and and and the things

362
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.480
that we've done. And one of the things he said,

363
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:03.480
it's something about the path is not about money. Your

364
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.960
purpose is not necessarily about money. It's about connections and relationships.

365
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.599
And I'm looking at we you know, look at the

366
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.599
relationships and connections right now. I don't know anybody on

367
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.640
it that's chiming in. I've never met them outside of this,

368
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.720
but look at that, and look at what this platform

369
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:24.799
has been able to do with others a blessing and

370
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.839
they're now reaping what they've sewn in right, we want

371
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:34.160
your SOLM want you Yeah so, but but but look

372
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.000
at that in that ministries. Isn't that church? You know

373
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.160
what I'm saying, Isn't that what it's about? About this?

374
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.480
And this is this is great? And I and I

375
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.079
love our audience. They they, I mean, it's I love them.

376
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.799
Those that we know are on, those that we don't

377
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.559
know are on, those that see our show, those who

378
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.160
share our show, those talk about it. And look at this,

379
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.640
This is the blessing right here. And and so it

380
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.039
wasn't was it? Was it easy?

381
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:02.480
No?

382
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.920
And I and I share my journey because I want

383
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.240
people to feel comfortable with starting where you are. You know,

384
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.519
like I said, I was always a believer of Christ,

385
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.039
but I've just never stood still to listen and and

386
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.839
and and now things are okay, Let me still still,

387
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.079
Let me just learn, Let me just get hang hang

388
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.480
surround myself with people that know it, that do it,

389
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.720
that can guide me spiritually. Young. Oh, I don't care.

390
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.839
And I'm learning and it's and it's feeling better and

391
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.119
I can share and I come on here and say

392
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.960
you don't have to be where I am. You don't

393
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.599
have to be where Miss Gray or Miss k Is.

394
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.640
Just start and let it pour and be around people

395
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.400
who are gonna pour into you, not people that you

396
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.839
