Hey, welcome to another Monday evening, fabulous and transparent dialogue about.

12
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.319
Issues that are going on in the world today. Hello,

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.760
Pastor Miguel, How are you, sir? If I'm living, I'm sorry.

14
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.280
Go ahead, sir, I'm sorry.

15
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:42.480
I'm living.

16
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.000

Shows up. Thank you.

18
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.560
Hey, Hey, let's pray. Father God, We just love you

19
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.400
so much. We were forever giving you the praise and

20
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.799
the glory and the honor as you are old, as

21
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.040
we could the only thing we could do. And again

22
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.240
I will say, until I take my next last breath,

23
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.520
there are not enough words in the dictionary to give

24
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.479
you praise. So I'm glad that you allow us to

25
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.919
display our honor and our love for you, and our

26
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.599
actions and our behaviors and words to others. As long

27
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.000
as we're giving you honor and the praise. Lord, I

28
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.520
thank you, I thank you for this week. It has

29
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.560
been profound. It's been beyond my imagination. It's beyond what

30
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.879
I could ever hope for. And you got the glory.

31
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.120
But you don't let that stand right there. You always

32
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.080

Just because you are gone. We love you so much.

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.759

39
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.360
and the mighty matchless name of Jesus, Amen and amen

40
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.479
me haw he haw. Well, God is good. I'm telling you.

41
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.159
How's everybody been? How's your week been? Let me start

42
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:26.639
there first. Okay, I don't like this, Claire, Well, okay, listen,

43
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.560
last week, trade, last last since last Tuesday, how things

44
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.840
have been good? Actually good, very good.

45
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.280
Amen.

46
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.199
Amen, Okay, I'll take it. And pastor, when I was

47
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.960
coming on, you were talking to the rebels. So how

48
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.120
your weekend was you care? Can you repeat it just

49
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.039
a little bit of that for us? Sure.

50
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.639
My daughter turns thirty and I had a we had

51
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:55.520
We celebrated a couple's forty third wedding anniversary yesterday and

52
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.560
that uh, we renewed their they kind of renewed their vowels.

53
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.080
On third, which was very very unique. So and then

54
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:12.360
next Monday it'll be celebrating number So so good times,

55
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:13.159
good times.

56
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.959
Amen. Amen. That was that's good to hear. And that's

57
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:23.720
this week. Last Thursday, my daughter and I traveled to

58
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.279
my hometown of Palm Beach County. Had been there for

59
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.360
seven years, and she was watching me all the time

60
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.000
she drove. We ended up having to drive my car,

61
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.160
which I was fine with because these rental fees are

62
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:43.439
just ridiculous. And now hurts don't accept cash. Of course,

63
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.439
they don't accept debit cards, bank cards. It's got to

64
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:47.720
be a.

65
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.120
Full on.

66
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.920
Charge card. And I don't have charge cards, so it's

67
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.000
even better. I finally put my car on the road.

68
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.519
She did excellent with gas and all that good stuff.

69
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.600
So ah, and the closer we got to Palm Beach,

70
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.920
I there was butterflies. There were butterflies. I asked, God, Now,

71
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.920
I don't want to see anybody that you never scheduled

72
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.360
me to see. And if no one knew we were coming,

73
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.319
no one the three I had three assignments and all

74
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.000
three had no two people to see face to face.

75
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.279
If I could find that one of them and the

76
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.759
other was just a text and to reach out and

77
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.639
to let them know how much their ministry impacted me

78
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.839
and look at me now in that order, and everybody

79
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.759
was extremely shocked. I did find someone, a former coworker

80
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.240
of mine that worked at forty fifth Street Mental Health,

81
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.399
and that just I couldn't believe. I mean, it was

82
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.000
just JR. Thickl and helped me to locate her and

83
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.600
surprise shocked the heck out of her. And we met

84
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.160
for a little early dinner and after she got off work.

85
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.079
And I didn't know she was that much older than me.

86
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.639
I did not know. I'm sitting there like what. It's

87
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.600
funny when you're in the mix of people and your

88
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.519
coworkers and stuff unless you come out and identify how

89
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.879
old you are you know what you've been through? Whatever

90
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.000
you don't know, you don't know and so, and this

91
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.680
is going to tie into our topic tonight. Another plan

92
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.800
was we needed to strategically go to the Sawgrass Mall

93
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.480
down to Lauderdale Fort Lauderdale, and we did and that

94
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.279
was a trip and a half and it's worth it.

95
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.240
One thing I'm like to say to people, I know

96
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.120
that you all, you get behind the wheel of your car,

97
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.800
you've got a thousand things on your mind, and you're

98
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.079
on the interstate or you're on the turnpike and you're

99
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.519
just acting like you're playing chess with your car and

100
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.839
you just slowed down a minute. I know most of

101
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.519
y'all were headed up this way, you know, to go

102
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.160
to Disney and all that. But like I said, Disney,

103
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.000
it's not in Orlando. It's in Consimbi, And I know

104
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.759
you're gonna get it. If you've never been, you're gonna

105
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.120
be in You're gonna get upset because you got the

106
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.160
hotel in Orlando, but you got to drive over to

107
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.800
considme enjoy yourself, and you got to drive back in

108
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.800
our traffic. I'm only asking can you please slow down,

109
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.639
just slow down, because you take that physical driving energy

110
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.199
and you bring it into the malls or the grocery

111
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.639
stores or the parking lots, and you're just I mean,

112
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.759
little kids almost got knocked over. I almost got knocked over.

113
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.079
Just I mean, you gotta slow down. Guys. If you're

114
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.519
gonna be late, you're late, let someone know you're late.

115
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.199
You're on the road, you're on your way, but don't

116
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.040
try to kill everybody in front of you. And you

117
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.879
stopping on someone's rear end at the last minute and stuff.

118
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.800
But we don't need that. The accidents. We saw the accidents,

119
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.720
and so can you please just slow down? But just

120
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.800
then you'll get to where you're going. It's not going

121
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.759
anywhere unless it's a food truck, unless it's mobile, and

122
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.759
then you missed it just trying to catch up with

123
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.920
them in the next spot. But you don't need to

124
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:15.040
be running me over. Another thing, I heard conversations in

125
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.040
the mall especially, I didn't need to hear. I didn't

126
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.120
need to hear that you're trying to get your child back.

127
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.360
I didn't need to hear that somebody took the money

128
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.279
out the bank account. I didn't need to hear the

129
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.439
well that by the last day was right. I didn't

130
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.480
need to hear that. But they brought the phones. All

131
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.079
the phones. Everybody's on the phone. Everybody's on the phone.

132
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.679
People carrying their phones. Women got purses, they got backpacks,

133
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.679
but they're carrying their phones like you're gonna miss something,

134
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.879
Like you're gonna miss something, and I mean you and

135
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.399
then you're trying to, you know, push your way through

136
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.360
and you're trying to look at I mean, we're trying

137
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.759
to just look at the marquis of the of the

138
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.120
board so we can see where we're going, because we

139
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.039
were just looking for three stores. We really was. We

140
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.000
weren't trying to walk around the whole Salt Grass Mill

141
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.519
mall an outlet. And they did a great day. They

142
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.559
just as a little commercial. They've got vendors, who vendors

143
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.360
in the middle of this thing, so that was kind

144
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.679
of neat. I said, that's how, you know, supporting the

145
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.360
area of vendors was kind of cool to see. And

146
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.440
now all this time since I've been home, I've been

147
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.840
only wearing Crocs. Crocs is the best shoe for me,

148
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.120
is to you know, and I already shared with you.

149
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.399
I gave away with eighty pairs of shoes, and I've

150
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.159
got a couple of pairs of sneakers, but they're just orthopedic,

151
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.679
and they just they're ugly. Let me just go there.

152
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.279
They're ugly.

153
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.440
Not that everybody needs to look at my sneaker wear,

154
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.320
but they're ugly. And so I was sitting at a

155
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.159
spot waiting Felicia went on to look for the store

156
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.039
we were looking for. So I said, well, go ahead,

157
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.919
and you go ahead. I'm just gonna have a seat.

158
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.159
And I'm sitting there and I happened to look up

159
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.879
at an angle and there was Sacks Fifth Avenue store,

160
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.759
and I'm like, oh my god, one was I don't

161
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.240
even think I've ever been in Sacks because when it

162
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.840
was in the Palm Beach mall back home, you know,

163
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.840
I never went in there because I'm like, there's no

164
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.639
way I can afford anything. I don't even I can't

165
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.679
even afford to go in there. I you know, I

166
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.519
go in there, I'm won't, you know. So I was like,

167
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:23.840
you know, Jesus, wow, you know, but I looked, I said,

168
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.039
and a calmness came over me, and the Lord, you know,

169
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.080
the Holy Spirit was talking to me and said, you know,

170
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.960
you need to go in there. I said, what I

171
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.919
need to go in? I said, okay, why not. So

172
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.279
as I was I was looking for police, I could

173
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.759
see her coming towards me. So I stood up and

174
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.279
I met her kind of halfway, and I motioned my

175
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.480
head to the store, and so she just cut right

176
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.120
over and we walked in. And as I'm walking in,

177
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.559
the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, you have

178
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.679
proven that there is no box. When people say to

179
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.519
think oside the box, you've told, you told the real deal.

180
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.840
You said there's no box. You've been looking for it.

181
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.720
You're not looking for it anymore. But I need you

182
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:11.080
now to get out of your head because you have

183
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.440
shoes in here. I said, I have shoes in here.

184
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.840
He said, yeah, enjoy. So we walk in and you know,

185
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.960
of course people are judging him up on golf on

186
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.159
that one. So I'm walking in. We went straight to

187
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.919
the back. I said, well, let's go to the clearance

188
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.799
because again, you know it's got a billion. You know

189
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.320
you're gonna pay one thousand dollars worth shoe and someone

190
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.399
on Clarence's probably seven hundred and so I was very wrong.

191
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.480
Everything in the store was sixty to seventy percent on

192
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.200
sixty to seventy percent. And I don't look at prices,

193
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.720
so I'm looking at what I want, but what I want.

194
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.519
So we went to my shoe size, and again, even

195
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.360
though you don't have toes, you still have to get

196
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.600
the shoe size that you were kind of living with

197
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.919
and born with because your frame up, your body detected,

198
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.320
or your foot with and all that. Even though you're

199
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.799
missing toes, you still have to get your regular sized shoe.

200
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.600
I try to size nine. Why that don't work. It's

201
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.639
the weirdest thing. But God is so also we are

202
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.360
fearfully and wonderfully made in Him. So I'm looking Belize.

203
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.159
He's looking with me, and I'm like, ooh, and look,

204
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.720
I saw this shoe. Now, the one thing I used

205
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.799
to wear a lot of loafer like shoes, you know,

206
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.960
the little to no heel, and they just had a

207
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.600
nice tassel on the top or something like that. So

208
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.879
that's the type of shoe I used to wear. Here's

209
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.919
this off white tasseled shoe. And I looked at BELIZI

210
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.480
I was like ten medium because they had to get

211
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.679
my w in there. And so she I'm holding onto

212
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.639
the shelf to try on the shoe, and I have

213
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:50.600
to That's the second thing. I have to make sure

214
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.840
I can put the shoe on myself at home and

215
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.039
be about my day. Plus I drive on my right foot.

216
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.840
I don't drive with a shoe. I will drive one

217
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:06.120
of my little, my little sock like shoe singing gadget.

218
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.639
And because I just feel comfortable and normally when I didn't,

219
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.080
you know, when I had my feet my toes, I

220
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.120
drove barefoot with that right foot, I just just did.

221
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.840
So now I just put on a little soft little

222
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.399
shoe singing and so I got a few of those here,

223
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.159
and I have one always in the car. So but

224
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.039
I'm putting on this shoe, so I have to be

225
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.720
able if I'm getting in and out of the car,

226
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.679
I take that one off and I'll put on my

227
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.799
crock and then I'd be about my business. Or I

228
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.159
put on my sneaker and I'll be about my business.

229
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.600
So I have to take a little time and you know,

230
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.840
make sure I'm focused and everything else. But i'd have

231
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.399
to be able to put the shoe on by myself,

232
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.879
even though Belisia was helping me and stuff. But I

233
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.559
have to be able to maneuver. So I did, and

234
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:57.639
it was, Oh, it's a cute shoe, it's leather, it's

235
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.639
got you know. I'm like, yeah, because this is going

236
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.600
to force me to come out of wearing my my

237
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:10.080
yoga type pants and a T shirt because I know

238
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.840
where God is getting ready to lead me. I am

239
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.480
going to be on government ground. I'm going to be

240
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.919
in the town hall this weekend. I'm I'm part of this,

241
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.320
one of the speakers at a pop up shop, so

242
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.919
I gotta be I want to with that exception. With

243
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.799
the exception of that, I will go in a croc

244
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.200
and you know, I mean one of my T shirts.

245
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.480
But but normally, if I'm going and I'm speaking, and

246
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.600
well all you I'm gonna be leading prayer at a

247
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.639
church event coming up next month, so I want to

248
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.480
be able to look decent. I'm not wearing pants, you know,

249
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.559
I'm not wearing my yoga pants into anything, you know,

250
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.759
because you know, just becauds. I want to look professional,

251
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.279
business like, that's all. And I need to have the

252
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.879
right shoe and outfit to make me look appropriate because

253
00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.799
they are already going to be staring and I don't

254
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.320
need give you any more to look at. So we

255
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.000
got the one pair, and this lady came by and

256
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:10.360
she said, now this is not the clearance And I said, so,

257
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.240
what's sixty to seventy? She said, they'll adjust it when

258
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.639
you get to the register. I said, okay, thank you.

259
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.440
So I'm looking and said you're not finished. She keep looking,

260
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:24.200
ended up being able to fit into two additional pairs

261
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.080
of shoes that are regular, that are normal, And I

262
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.960
walked out there paying under two hundred dollars for those shoes,

263
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.360
for three pairs of shoes out of sex. It happened.

264
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.679
And I'm like, and I'm looking at Policei're like, oh,

265
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.840
and she understood. She said, I get it, man, I said,

266
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.120
people won't understand the little things. You don't understand. You

267
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.399
may think you know what I'm going through. You may

268
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.320
think you can identify, oh five, if it was me, No,

269
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:55.159
you cannot, because everybody's different. There was a young lady

270
00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:00.320
in them, all by herself, in her wheelchair, self propelled chair,

271
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.559
and if she was going to the stores and she wanted,

272
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.960
she was wheeling in and wheeling out, and I was like,

273
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.039
and she was walking and she was going. Just as

274
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.600
much as I said, okay, more power to you. I

275
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.639
got you. I got you because we have to come

276
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.080
out of our heads. We got to come out of

277
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.240
your comfort zone. I've been left mind. God is my conference, though,

278
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.600
So you have to you got to, you know, make

279
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.519
those decisions to move forward and to keep moving because

280
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.399
if you stop, you'll get stuck and you will stay there,

281
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.399
and then your subconscious is waiting on the ugly is

282
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.480
waiting to release. The bad is waiting to release and

283
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.879
make your body start aching and oh my god, I'm

284
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.120
love and I'm like, oh my god, okay, and Beliicia,

285
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.480
it was just I mean, she was so tuned into me.

286
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:46.840
I couldn't, you know, trying to hide it, you know,

287
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.399
like Okay, I'm gonna have to sit down again. You know,

288
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.440
because we walked this thing. We walk this mall. Even

289
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.840
though we were looking for three stores. We had to

290
00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:01.120
go find them. But we did that, and then we

291
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:06.440
went Sunday evening. Sunday afternoon, we went in Palm Beach

292
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.759
County where we used to be. The Palm Beach Mall

293
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.519
is now an outlet and they were the ones that

294
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.279
kind of started that years ago. They turned them all

295
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.480
into an outlet. So once again they have vendors there

296
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.559
right in the middle as you're walking through, which I said, yeah,

297
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.880
that's kind of cool, and you know, patronizing the local businesses.

298
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.440
So they had the juices and everything. But anyway, so

299
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.960
I'm going in and I looked at this one story

300
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.079
we were getting ready to leave, and I said, ooh,

301
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.160
they said a comfort shoes. Comfort shoes is what it's called.

302
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.920
So I gotta go in here. I gotta go see

303
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.279
what they're talking about. Older gentleman. He was trying. He

304
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.079
was looking, and I didn't want him to see, you know,

305
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.640
my foot with throw toe. So I'm trying to wait

306
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.640
for him to like bring me my boxes so I

307
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.400
could try all some stuff and go. I walked out

308
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.000
with two pairs, two pairs, three pairs of shoes from there,

309
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.200
all parents, and he gave me his employee discounts. But

310
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.079
the biggest treat was Belisia said, I'm going to go

311
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.039
ahead and I'm going to get to get the car

312
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.240
and so I could pull around and get you. I said, okay,

313
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.039
So I had to take my time and go and

314
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.000
and a lot of times I just pull over, I

315
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.880
just lean over, you know, stop, and because people were

316
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.559
right behind me, they were right on my on my

317
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.680
my heel. If I went back, I would have hit

318
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.839
somebody with my head in their mouth. That's how close

319
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.519
people were. And so I sometimes I would just you know,

320
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.960
walk to the side and stop. And she said, ma'm

321
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.440
may just take your time. I said, oh, I got it.

322
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.440
I got it. So just as I'm coming out, getting

323
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.400
ready to sit in the chair and wait for her

324
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:45.839
to pull around, I'm every woman came on. I think

325
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.559
it was somebody else because there was a slower version

326
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.240
in the beginning. It was real slow, and it was

327
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.279
just so just And so when I sat down, said,

328
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.559
and I'm singing in public on this bench, look like this,

329
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.599
and everybody coming off that parking lot was dancing with

330
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.920
me because I'm like, every room it's all in me.

331
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.160
And I was here and everybody's like yeah, Lia, like

332
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:23.839
what are you doing? And everybody man, they were like yeah.

333
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.519
I said, if you can't, you cannot move to that song.

334
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.400
You cannot not move to that song. You can't. You

335
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.559
was written in you. It was written as the slower version.

336
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.799
I think she sings it. She sings it too, and

337
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.839
she has shota she said, Shaka Khan. Later on, it's

338
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:40.799
just her work too.

339
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.319
Okay, but it was ship. I mean, it played and

340
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:49.880
I'm sitting you cannot move to that. And everybody I saw,

341
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:51.920
they were like, oh.

342
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.200
You know.

343
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.400
One little young girl, she would look at the press

344
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.119
coming in that parking lot. I said, come on, now,

345
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.279
come on now, you gotta smile. You getting ready to stop?

346
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.519
And she said yeah, and she just I said, come now,

347
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.720
I left some stuff in there for y'all, just letting

348
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.559
you know. And they just people and they laughed and

349
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.319
it was like wow, and they realized, No, I wasn't

350
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.640
homeless because the one people turned around and police it

351
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.079
was pulling up in by cheap Cherokee. No, I'm a homeless,

352
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:24.680
thank you. But anyway, let's get to let me circle listen.

353
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:29.880
That's first. It was just, you know, my whole thing

354
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:31.880
is when you do what God tells you to do

355
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.279
in the order that he tells you. You don't be

356
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:39.079
like Jonah, you don't be like Paul. No, I'll get

357
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:40.839
to that. Oh no, I'm not going over there. Oh

358
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:43.400
I can't do that. Why don't people don't listen to you?

359
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:43.640
Why?

360
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.240
I said, okay, yeah, well you just you gotta way

361
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.319
of waiting for you. You got a snake in the

362
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:54.319
fire wood, waiting on you come on and and and

363
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:59.720
at the same time, we did, you know, rent a car, rental,

364
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.400
rented a path sub But like I said, it was

365
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.720
you know, it was a no goal because and we

366
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.519
already had the car packed because I didn't want to

367
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.680
come home with the rental and the new neighbors could

368
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.960
see that I'm getting ready to leave or whatever, so

369
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:15.839
and I would have to pull out cars and pull

370
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:17.359
that car, you know, and all that kind of stuff.

371
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.240
Thank God for a garage, but we already have packed

372
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.680
the car, so all we had to do is just say, okay,

373
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:24.920
let's make sure we gas up, were out, and we

374
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.440
got on the road. And so it hurts. People say, well,

375
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.599
it's gonna take about ten days for you to be

376
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.799
reimbursed the deposit that you put down. I said, oh no,

377
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.400
it won't. And I walked. I said, have a good day.

378
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.759
By Saturday, I was already being reimbursed. It was in process.

379
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.160
So you know, you know, don't don't come cut off

380
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:47.119
my blessing. So let's go to talking about the Earth,

381
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.640
because I think it's a great segue because the Earth

382
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.920
is now exploding. The Earth is doing what it needs

383
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:59.519
to do to revive itself, to clean itself off, clean

384
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.880
itself up, and to make room for either death or life.

385
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.440
So we got Earth Hour, and supposedly all of y'all

386
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.640
supposed to switch off your lights from eight thirty pm

387
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.440
to nine to thirty pm to celebrate Earth Hour twenty

388
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.039
twenty five. It's a symbolic and powerful movement aimed at

389
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:24.680
raising awareness about climate change, biodiversity loss, and the importance

390
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.319
of sustainability. And I wanted to had I been able

391
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.519
to use my computer. I'm not sure if I can

392
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.240
pull up a Bible here on this thing, but I

393
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.000
was ready to discuss how how God looks at the

394
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:43.119
Earth and how He has already ordained it. Let me

395
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.319
see if I can find something here. Guys, just give

396
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.759
me a half a second. Call, give me a second.

397
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:54.799
Let's see if I get fine here. But okay, you

398
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.759
know it's can do better, Thank you, laurd See, you

399
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:04.039
have to always pitot at times, you have to pivot. Okay,

400
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.880
just a couple of scriptures. Okay, I'm gonna go over there.

401
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.200
You know.

402
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.759
Of course, in the beginning Genesis chapter one and one.

403
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.599
In the beginning, God created the heavens and go So

404
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:20.440
what the earth he stepped up and said, let that be,

405
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.559
and he took his time those first six days. We

406
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.359
just need to make sure we don't miss a step

407
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.440
in the instructures. Thank you missing I did my homework

408
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.599
at a stage. Jo, okay, go for it, go for it.

409
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.920
My five happy things I wrote down are reading, helping,

410
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.079
making things, writing, and looking at treats. Now, when you

411
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.759
say writing, are you talking about a motorcycle or horse?

412
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.599
H Yeah, she says she likes writing. Are you talking

413
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.119
about a motorcycle or a horse? Come on, we can

414
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.680
see you in a car.

415
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:51.960
Car.

416
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.880
You like riding in a car with somebody else driving,

417
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.160
like a show, you know, with somebody driving, or you

418
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.559

419
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:05.279
But okay, was very good. First of all, give her

420
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:10.839

configure and make sure we get that, you know, you

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.720

424
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.960
long trips or things like that, or you're gonna go

425
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.759
do some retail therapy. I loved it. My daughter took it.

426
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.359
She said, I can drive, Mom, I said, okay, okay,

427
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:28.480

428
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.920
I could drive too. This is my hometown. You know,

429
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.240
the streets ain't changed that much. Whatever. I said, okay,

430
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.640
leave it alone and coming home. She's no, I got it, mam.

431
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.200

433
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.920
I won't get confused everything. No, I'll be all right.

434
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.000
But I know you're here. So yeah, I like that.

435
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.960
I appreciated it. It was nice, you know, but thank you, Anathasia.

436
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.160
I'm gonna get back to you and ask you what

437
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.759
more did you learn about yourself while you had to really,

438
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.160
you know, and I know you took time to to

439
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.480
iron that out and make sure what that was. So

440
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.559
I'm going to get back with you. But let me

441
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.240
go to songs ninety five and four and those in

442
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.079
whose hands are the depths of the earth. The peaks

443
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.799
of the mountains are his also, So I presume the writer.

444
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.400
I can't have a mask thing here. But that was

445
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.000
Psalms ninety five and four and Exodus twenty and eleven.

446
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.240
For six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,

447
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.920
the sea, and all of that is in them and

448
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.759
rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed on

449
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.720
the sabbnth day and made it holy, and for several

450
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.480
other scriptures. But I want to click over here because

451
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.720
scriptures on the earth groaning, the earth groaning, because I

452
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.240
think that's the stage we're in right now. Let's see

453
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.000
Romans eight and twenty two says the whole creation has

454
00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:54.079
been groaning together and the pains of childbirth until the

455
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:58.240
present time. Until the present time. Let's see if I

456
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.480
got another one here? They got some more here. Do

457
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.519
you still talk about Romans? Then they said something in

458
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.119
John fourteen. Let me see what that says. I'm sorry, guys,

459
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.400
that my computer is just I quit on me on

460
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.960
the last minute or so. But I got my Bible.

461
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.759
Fella just right over there, he'll be ready to go

462
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:25.920
John fourteen. See, they got the whole scripture here. Okay,

463
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.799
let me see.

464
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.920
When John fourteen one says, don't let your hearts be troubled.

465
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.559
There we go. Okay, you believe me, God believe in me. Also.

466
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.039
In mean, sorry, guys, my father's house has many rooms.

467
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.400
If it was not so, would I have told you

468
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.039
that I'm going there to prepare a place for you.

469
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.119
And if I go and prepare a place for you,

470
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.720
I will come back and take you to be with me.

471
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.599
You also will be where I am. You know the way,

472
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.480
the place where I'm going. Okay, well that didn't I'm

473
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.799
gonna go back. But what I love to do is

474
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.319
be able to see how this equates to its biblically,

475
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.480
because I'm not concerned about commentary or what man thinks.

476
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:13.720
I want to be able to see how what's the

477
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:20.599
scripture saying about this? Amen? And so now, Pastor Miguel,

478
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.319
please come on in, and you know, I'm sure you

479
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.000
have something to add to this, so please don't hesitate.

480
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.680
Let's go.

481
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:31.559
Well, it's interesting that you bring up John. I'm sorry

482
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.400
that you bring up Genesis chapter one, verse one, where

483
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.960
it says that the Lord created the heavens and the Earth.

484
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.079
And if you really study your Bible, what about the

485
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.480
other planets, what about the stars? What about.

486
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:47.920
Sun?

487
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:54.839
People don't understand that the earth was created first everything

488
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:59.839
else on day four, So really goes to show you

489
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:04.160
that there was a plan was put in the motion

490
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:09.160
when God spoke the existence of the earth in the

491
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.720
first verse. That's why it's called a uni verse. It's

492
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:21.480
one verse establishes really establishes the the the importance of

493
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.960
understanding that God doesn't do anything on a whim. God

494
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.359
doesn't do anything of Let's try this kind of.

495
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.279
A deal, right right.

496
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.599
And I heard something that really impacted me. I'm still

497
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:44.240
kind of digesting it because when I heard it, I

498
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.200
was just like, Wow, that was super super deep, and

499
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:53.880
it went this way that God's already created it all

500
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:58.519
and has ordained it all. Now it's in motion. Yet

501
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:03.400
the end, I was just like, that's even too deep

502
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:05.599
for me that I had to kind of step back

503
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:11.519
and saying wow. So this goes to show you God's omnipotence,

504
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.279
the presence and omniscients that everything that's going on right

505
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.599
now doesn't catch God off. He already knows Amen.

506
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.519
Check out Romans eight and twenty one. That the creation

507
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:31.319
itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption

508
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.200
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children

509
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.640
of God. That creation itself will be set free. Nothing

510
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:43.480
was meant to last forever. Look at the ice for

511
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:46.480
the polar bears. It's all of us. It has been

512
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.119
dissolving and they're having to move from blockage, blocks of

513
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:52.400
ice and the penguins and I'm, you know, trying to

514
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.400
find a new home. But there's nothing that we could

515
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:59.680
do to put the ice back. It's dissolving on its own.

516
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.519
Got a time, It's got a time. And I know

517
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.759
people who had had issues with dying and all, I

518
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.759
don't want to die, and I know it's scary, but

519
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:14.079
if you are already accomplishing that which God is to do,

520
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.000
and trust me when I say this, guys, you don't

521
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.680
know the end all of it. You don't know the

522
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:20.720
end all. You may be a pastor, now, okay, you

523
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:22.880
finally made it to be in a pastor, yeah, but

524
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.359
there's more to that. You may not be the pastor

525
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.039
of a physical church. You're gonna be a pastor of

526
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:32.920
the Shepherd of People. And your congregations. Your congregation is

527
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.599
out there in the world or they're on Zoom, they're digital.

528
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:40.359
You're gonna only reach them through digital because they're everywhere.

529
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.799
And you know my life story already. I had no idea.

530
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.279
Never said I wanted to have twins, never said I

531
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.480
wanted to be an author, never said I wanted to

532
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.400
be a college professor. I always wanted all I want

533
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.960
to do is get back to the stage. And I've

534
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:59.680
been able to retire from that gainfully. Look at what

535
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.200
I'm doing now. So if you don't do anything, look

536
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.839
take it. Take an example from the earth, because now

537
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.920
every other day something is on fire, burning away. They

538
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.720
cannot contain it. It takes days, it takes people, it

539
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.799
takes exhaustion. Today we were driving by as we were

540
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:23.440
still home and we were here, and all of a sudden,

541
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.880
I guess the firemen are testing the water, the fire hydrants,

542
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:31.160
so water is gushing out on both sides of the road.

543
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.000
They're checking things, but you need to be checking pipes

544
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.559
that you all laid thirty years ago. People throwing trash

545
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.000
out there when they're going down. There's little gutter things

546
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.240
on the side of the road. And that's the reason

547
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.319
why we got, you know, water building up and and

548
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.200
and and puddles and stuff like that when it rains

549
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.759
an old day. Now we got rainy season. All of

550
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.599
a sudden, I heard of Mediorologian just talking about that. Yes,

551
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.400
it's be you know, and Toabori's it was raining this

552
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.759
afternoon when they're doing the five o'clock nembles. We came

553
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.599
in with a dark cloud. Mother nature is gonna do

554
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:06.000
what it's doing. It's gonna do what it needs to

555
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.519
do to cleanse itself. It's gonna do what it needs

556
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:10.920
to do to say, you know what, I'm a dead tree.

557
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.200
I'm dead. There's nothing, there's no fruit, there's nothing here,

558
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.160
and it dies. And you got these insects that come

559
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.039
from nowhere that likes that stuff, and they're all over

560
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.960
your yard or you got you know, fro mingos or cranes.

561
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.119
You know, these white birds. I don't know what they are,

562
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.880
what they're called, and they're eating through your grass and everything.

563
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.519
And I'm like, wait a minute, I mean I heard

564
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:32.720
of them and stuff.

565
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.119
You know, those are ibises. There's a hoo's a who

566
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.920
those are called ibises. They got the long, long.

567
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:45.279
Yes beak, the okay, well they need the ibis owns

568
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:48.559
to somewhere else and go I was the island or something.

569
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:52.640
You you know, there's nothing with my grass. Stop doing that, Lida.

570
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.559
Then my dogs see you doing it. She thinks she's

571
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:57.240
supposed to do it, but she thinks she's willing them,

572
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.880
you know. But you know, so okay, here we go

573
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.039
Romans eight and twenty. Of course, before the creation was

574
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:07.359
subjected to fertility, not willingly, but because of Him who

575
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:12.640
subjected it. In Hope Revelations twenty one, Oh my God,

576
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:14.880
this one. Then I saw a new heaven and a

577
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.240
new earth for the first heaven and the first earth

578
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.119
had passed away, and the sea was no more.

579
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.640
Go ahead, faster, Second Peter, three, verses ten and twelve.

580
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:26.119
I'll let you read that one.

581
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:29.359
No, you read it because I can't get there fast enough. Go,

582
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.079
he said, Second Peter, you're gonna still say it though.

583
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:39.160
Okay, Chapter three, verses ten through twelve. But the day

584
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.880
of the Lord will come like a thief. Heavens will

585
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:49.440
disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire,

586
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:55.680
the earth, everything in it will be laid there. Any

587
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.880
people don't understand that, as I mentioned earlier, this has

588
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.440
been all ordained when God said, let let me create

589
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.280
the heavens and the earth. Oh, this has been planned.

590
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.119
How does it mean that we have to live our

591
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:16.079
lives and be merry and let and just live our

592
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:19.840
life like like I mean, the la Veda loca. But

593
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:23.639
what we need to do is we we take care

594
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:27.360
of what we got. But we have to and I

595
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.800
want to be very very sensitive here, and that is

596
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.960
and I don't want to scare anyone, and I don't

597
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.960
want to make anybody worried or anything like that. But

598
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.559
only way, the only way that thin will go away

599
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:45.639
if the Earth gets wiped out, and I mean.

600
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.639
Why completely like a Noah, Yeah.

601
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:54.440
And just absolutely be removed from the galaxy, because that's

602
00:34:54.480 --> 00:35:00.480
the only way thin is completely gone. Just to the

603
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.920
firse you read in Revelations where we have a new Jerusalem,

604
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:10.880
a new Earth. That's what we have to be prepared

605
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:15.199
for because it has to happen. Instead of asking God,

606
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.079
why is this happening, put a plan in place. This

607
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.559
is what's got to happen, and it's fits happening. That

608
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.599
means that it's getting closer.

609
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:31.159
For perfection came in and Colossians one in sixteen. I'm

610
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:32.440
gonna end it on this and then we're going to

611
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.920
get back to Anathasia. For by Him all things were

612
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:42.320
created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether

613
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:50.360
thrones or dominions, or rulers or authorities, all things were

614
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:55.000
created through Him and for him. There's a scripture that

615
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.199
said God said I made it good and even for

616
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.519
myself that beholds three weeks. Course, right there, we go

617
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:05.599
into that one. But all things and that's what I

618
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:07.840
want you to give, you don't get anything else. We

619
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.800
were made in his image. We all have a time clock.

620
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:12.840
We all have a time clock the b nigga on

621
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.400
your habits, your lifestyle. You could usher it in a

622
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.000
little quicker, or you could delay it a little longer.

623
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.559
But there's a day. There will come a day, and

624
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.159
we'll leave it at that. And the pastor, I appreciate

625
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:28.000
you saying you don't want to scare anybody. And the

626
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.360
profits now the real ones are you know they if

627
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.559
we don't want to scare you. But this is scripture,

628
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.440
This is real. This has been written as it is written,

629
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.719
and all things were created through Him and for him.

630
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:42.840
It's written. There's no we can't God it's back, we

631
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:47.800
can't erase it. It's written, and it's gonna play itself out.

632
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:50.199
The question we all need to ask you, well you

633
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.079
all need to ask yourself, is where am I gonna be?

634
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:55.400
Where am I in this? Because I got to be

635
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:58.159
able to trust you. Just like you have a supervisor

636
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.119
at your jobs, and at least at some point in

637
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.559
your work history that you went through your ninety days.

638
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.639
They're watching you. They say, Okay, she looks like she's

639
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.239
got the concept, so okay, looks like she can fit

640
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.400
in here. But they're still watching you. You don't be

641
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.880
creative yet, not those first ninety days, not one hundred

642
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.559
and twenty days. You don't be creative yet. You know

643
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:22.440
you could do this a little faster, but you slow

644
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.480
your rope because they need to know that they could

645
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.840
trust you with your caseload, They could trust you with

646
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.000
your clientele. God needs and all you need to do

647
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.760
right now is be totally dependent on him, leaning on him,

648
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.480
and and and and getting that and Anastasia, and I'm

649
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:41.599
gonna go to you and and I don't, I don't

650
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:45.199
if I can understand. I'm just gonna say this. I

651
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.159
have married people on zoom. I'm a nerder notary as well.

652
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.920
I could. I can notarize the document. You just get

653
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.440
it in somebody, get into somebody's backyard and we can

654
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.719
call it a day. Okay. That that that and I

655
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.639
you know, there we go, so and the stage, are

656
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:05.800
you still with me with us? Brother? Still there? Okay?

657
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:09.400
Well if not, she'll hear it. Thank you again for

658
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:12.239
being obedient and see. That's all you need to do

659
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.760
is make that step. All you need to do is say,

660
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:16.480
you know what, I'm gonna trust it. Let me write

661
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:19.119
down what really makes me happy. Now I'm gonna go

662
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.199
about and see how I can combine these things. How

663
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:25.360
can I get to this? How can I do this?

664
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.559
Maybe you could ask one of your good friends, Hey,

665
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:32.400
you know what, every Saturday I'm here, she's like, okay

666
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.119
out here. Maybe you could ask one of their friends, Hey,

667
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:41.320
can we just go, you know, drive by the botanical garden.

668
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:44.320
I know, every city got to have a potatical garden

669
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.599
or the aviary, you know. But you but it needs

670
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:49.480
to be someplace, not that you could get there in

671
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.239
fifteen minutes. It's going to take you forty five minutes

672
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.920
to get there and coming back and have lunch there.

673
00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:58.519
But that person has to drive. Now you got to

674
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.039
give them some gas money. Now fair, But do that

675
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.400
for yourself, just to take a casual drive out somewhere

676
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.119
where you normally would not go. There are places here

677
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.280
in Orlando I don't I'm never I have not visited yet.

678
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.079
There are places in Palm Beach County that I had

679
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.320
not visited. But what do I like. And that's one

680
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:19.320
thing I had to talk with my daughter. You know,

681
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:21.039
I said, I don't know, Shi gon Mama, you got

682
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.280
to find something that you want to do. I said,

683
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.280
that says it. Ministry is all me. Whatever I need

684
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:28.960
to do he needs me to do, I'm going to

685
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:31.920
do it. I don't know, I have not I don't

686
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.599
know which way to explore that. What would I like

687
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:34.960
to do?

688
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:35.320
Well?

689
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.079
I like, I get talk, I got a podcast. I've

690
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:41.320
written my fourth book. I'm hoping there's only one more.

691
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:45.840
And that's my all the arguphing because it's being transparent,

692
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.199
you wide open, and you know mostly 'all know all

693
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.360
my stories, so you know what's next for me. And lastly,

694
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.679
we worked out even though we walked so much this weekend.

695
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.639
We went to the gym inside the whole time and

696
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:02.440
left my sneakers the ugly one. Well, I got a

697
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:07.320
cute pair from Amazon, but anyway, but they were Tae

698
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:11.599
Kwondo type seekers. Anyway, I left them at home. And

699
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:13.760
so it's just like I said, no, I got socks,

700
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.079
I'll get on the bike. And I got on the

701
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:18.639
bike and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said,

702
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:21.800
now you're about you you want to be about adventure.

703
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:26.039
Make the adventure you and exercising. You already know what

704
00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:29.679
to do. We took our little two Marican and Ginger

705
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:33.480
little shots. We took those with us. You know, whatever

706
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:36.800
it's gonna take to get me really healthy, whatever's gonna take.

707
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.199
So that's my new adventure, and you won't need to

708
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:41.639
think about your new adventure. I know you're gonna do

709
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:45.079

00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.000

00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.760

00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.239

I just whatever's really healthy that you got you gotta have.

723
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:25.320
You're gonna have to crush it up yourself, all right.

724
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.360
I wouldn't do the crush. I know. We've got a

725
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:31.360
store here by a healthful, holistic store, and they have

726
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:35.039
the powder already crunched up with My daughter prefers putting it,

727
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.119

Whatever's gonna take healthy is my thing. Is my kick

731
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:49.519
now is being healthy. That's my biggest concern right now.

732
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.920
And going back to that health that I was, you

733
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:56.280
know at a few years ago after I came off

734
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:58.679
of being you know, on the thank you for sharing

735
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.119
this with us all the thing, humistic for coming on

736
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:04.679
and sacrificing. And I want to pray this before we go.

737
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.280
Anybody else want to add anything here? And I just

738
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.159
want to say a quick prayer before we go. I

739
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:10.920
want to seal this up, you know.

740
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:17.920
But you know, just the wellness part too, you know

741
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:20.639
it just yeah, it's a lot. So you got to

742
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.000
take care of your mind too. You know, you got

743
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.039
to take care of your mind because that's part of

744
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:26.800
it and that affects everything.

745
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.559
Amen. Amen, If you've got a cluttered room, you got

746
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.239
a cluttered mind, you got a clutter garage, you got

747
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.559
a cluttered mind. There's no way you see it straight,

748
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:38.800
there's no way. You're not forgetting small things. So clean

749
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.079
it up, clean it out. People could use your stuff

750
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.519
and maybe jump to use a treasure to somebody else. Lord,

751
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.000
we just thank you, We love you so much. Thank

752
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:49.639
you for just allowing us. And you know us, each

753
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.199
of us so well. You know what we need, and

754
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:56.599
you know how to send the message clear. You will

755
00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.039
wait on us, and I know you're hoping that we

756
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:03.920
will do the right thing and just pivot, just pivot

757
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.880
and now get bogged down with the who what when? Well, no,

758
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.400
we now we got it. You created us in your image,

759
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:16.840
You created this earth in your image. You created the

760
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:20.400
earth for yourself, You created good and even for yourself.

761
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:22.599
All we have to do is line up and walk

762
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.000
it out with you. We thank you, We give you praise.

763
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.039
Keep everybody safe this week, for the rest of these

764
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:31.599
these months that's to come. Please and give us a

765
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:33.840
heads up. Continue to give us that heads up about

766
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:37.239
what nature's on Nature's mind and what Nature's next move

767
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.599
would be, we love you and we praise you in

768
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.719
Jesus name. Amen. I'm right. I think that's us. I'm

769
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:46.800
cursed with a cluttered mind right now. Hey Mickey, well,

770
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:48.559
we're gonna rebuke that right now in the name of

771
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.599
Jesus first of all. But I understand what you said.

772
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:53.960
So you've got to sit. Your homework is going to

773
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:56.920
be what's clutter in your mind? What is on your

774
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.760
mind so much that you can't see the forest for

775
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:03.119
the What is it? What is it? Who is it?

776
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:05.679
And go back to the serenity prayer. I'm not gonna

777
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.480
repeat it, but go find the serenity prayer and put

778
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.559
yourself in there. Change what you can, strength to understand,

779
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.400
wisdom to know the difference, because there's some things you

780
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.960
could stop and you could change it. You could do it.

781
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:22.639
Look at us. We got loads of testimony, volumes of

782
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:24.960
it where we had to pivot, where we had to say,

783
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.679
you know what, that's it. I've a glory to God.

784
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.880
I've had enough. I've had enough, and only I can

785
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:32.760
change this. So I have to put you out of

786
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:34.960
my life. I got to get you out of my head.

787
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.599
I got to take the power back from you, and

788
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.400
I'm cursing and rebuking all the generational curses of my family.

789
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.320
We'll talk about that another time. We love you. See

790
00:44:44.360 --> 00:45:04.159
you next week, same time, same station, USU
