00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.960
Yet you freely gave, you freely provided, you freely embraced,

24
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.159
and we thank you. Lord. We will have a moment

25
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:23.120
of silence for those families and that experienced the loss

26
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.840
in Texas and for the disaster, the weather situations that

27
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.120
are going on in South Carolina, as North Carolina as

28
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.240
we speak, Comfort your people, make a way out of

29
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.199
no way for them. All the resources and everything that's needed,

30
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.639
please provide. We just thank you. Cover the conferences that

31
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.840

32
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.719
Orlando this week and elsewhere. Be with your people. Lord,

33
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.719
we love you so much. Now, as always, we get

34
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.400
behind the cross. You have your way. We are on standby.

35
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.719
We will never come off the wall until you deem it.

36
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.120
So in Jesus name, we pray Amen. Amen. So, how's

37
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.319
the traffic up there? How's the weather in Virginia, Washington,

38
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.520
d C, Maryland, New Jersey, wherever you at today? How's

39
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.560
it up there? Hot? Yeah? But I love it. I

40
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.639
don't like the cod weather.

41
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:17.800
So I'm not going to complain.

42
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.159
Amen, Amen pastor, how was your week, your holiday and

43
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.199
all that? Jazz? I know you shared a couple of

44
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:25.120
things with me, but.

45
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.479
It was quiet. It was indoors, and I didn't go

46
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.039
anywhere got you.

47
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.520
Neither did I. I didn't feel like go. We had

48
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.759
training for the dog for jazz and that was enough.

49
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.319
That was enough for me. So Amen and Amen, Well,

50
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.919
we're gonna talk about let freedom ring, and we're gonna

51
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.120
continue that conversation because it's happening. I said, I want

52
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.960
my country back, and it's happening. I did some research

53
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.080
and I put in there what businesses are moving back

54
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:05.120
to the United States, and all companies like Apple and

55
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.639
Honda and General Electric are already moving things back, building

56
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.520
new plants throughout the State's Apple they're gonna expand their

57
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.319
manufacturing capabilities and building a construction of a new factory

58
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.560
in Texas. We've got Honda, they're doing things. They're leaving

59
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.079
Mexico and bringing the civic, new generation Civic back to

60
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.720
the States. We've got General Electric. Y'all remember General Electric. Now,

61
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.160
some of y'all may be too young for that, but

62
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.439
GE is still hanging in there. They are still doing

63
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.879
their thing, and it's up. We got them doing about face.

64
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.800
We're coming back to the US from China. From China,

65
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.519
leveraging automation and skilled and a skilled workforce. Toyota is

66
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.680
buying a new battery plant in the Carolinas. Other companies

67
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.199
are doing the same. Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and Nissan are

68
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.720
making their way back. And I've just wanted to just see.

69
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.879
I didn't know what the results were going to be

70
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.800
on the power of prayer, because I had said that

71
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.319
I want my country back, So I want new I

72
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.279
want business schools here teaching students what AI really is

73
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.759
and the threats of that. I need. We need electricians.

74
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.839
We need our plumbers. We need anything that can deprogram

75
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.879
these things when they're getting out of hand. We needed.

76
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.399
I need that workforce. I need blue collar back. I

77
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.079
want blue collar back because if everybody else coming back,

78
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.759
big large industries, we need folks that can handle that

79
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.079
and repair. I need fashion schools coming back. I need

80
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.839
production folks coming back or emerging. You want to have

81
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.199
your own production company, we need it in the United States.

82
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.160
If we needed in every state, we need a school

83
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.439
in every state that could provide that information. One of

84
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.360
my friends was telling me that her niece was going

85
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.560
to go do an internship, and all of a sudden

86
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.480
the agency just turned face and nobody knows why, and

87
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.040
canceled out and just crushous a little, this young lady's dream.

88
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.360
We don't need that in the United States. We don't

89
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.920
need that. So if you can't be certified and justified

90
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.759
and sustainable, then you won't you won't come out, you

91
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.959
won't emerge, it won't go anywhere. We're not going to

92
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.600
have that. So the power of prayer, strategically and specifically

93
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.600
is really really key. And how do you know that

94
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.480
you're doing it effectively? It's good companies are coming back

95
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:37.920
to you. Yes, we need to put our people back

96
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.160
to work with our companies here. Thank you, Charles. Good

97
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.279
to see you this evening. Yes, sir, he said. It

98
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.240
took it right out.

99
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:43.480
Of my mouth.

100
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.959
And I know other I know that this would be

101
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:52.920
one issue, one declaration that everybody, no matter race, creed, color, religion,

102
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.399
your background, your gender, whatever, this is one thing we

103
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.000
will stand on one accord. Let's get America. Let's get

104
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.079
America back. We got people living on cruise ships. Now

105
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.319
we got people going international and making a life. And

106
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.920
it's a lot cheaper, it's a lot cheaper, and it's

107
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.319
still starting their little businesses. We got that happening because

108
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.000
nobody wants to be in the US anymore. We're the

109
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.399
Land of the Free and Home of the brave. That's us.

110
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.120
Nobody can take that motto, nobody can take that title,

111
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.360
that status. That's us. And all the countries that are

112
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.800
frowning on it. Okay, well you keep frowning, but you're

113
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.319
gonna be over there. Our people are here and this

114
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.680
is just me. Now the co hosts gonna speak for themselves,

115
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.600
but this is me. And this is one of my

116
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.920
prayer points that tomorrow I get to look at my

117
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.040
vision board. I look at it every thirty days. I

118
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.439
look at it the eighth of the month. I can

119
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.600
hardly wait to check off some things tomorrow come on

120
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:49.199
that and that's one of them. I want America sustainable again.

121
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.040
No more vulnerabilities, no more. And if you can't be

122
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.800
with it, we ain't waiting on you. We ain't waiting

123
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.959
on you. We have taught you everything we know. Pastors

124
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:04.000
teaching everything he knows, Pastor Gena's teaching everything they know.

125
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.519
She knows Trey is teaching everything she knows. Uh uh,

126
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.199
she's learning everything she needs to learn. Uh uh. You

127
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.040
got to put it to work. Now, you got to

128
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.360
put it into work. We can't beg you anymore, We

129
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.040
can't plead with you anymore. Please give your life to Jesus.

130
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.199
Please trust him. Keep judging a book by his cover,

131
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.480
Keep judging a book by his cover. He will show

132
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.959
you better than I can tell you. That's all I'm

133
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.279
gonna say to you. And you know who I'm talking to.

134
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.399
That's all I'm gonna say. There's something a lot of

135
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.919
spiritual warfare this past weekend. Pastor of course was I mean,

136
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.799
of course, not of course, but he was under some

137
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.679
too with sickness. And you almost lost me. Guys, you're

138
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.080
almost that ten percent. Flesh was rising, it was rising

139
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.679
to another number. And see, that's one thing I don't

140
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.200
like about people. When you, when you come for me,

141
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.000
when you say things, when you misjudge, and I hear it.

142
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.159
I can see it all over your body. I can

143
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.240
see it in your facial expression. I can read it

144
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.639
through your email, I can read it through your Why

145
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.120
you not communicating with me? I get it. I pick

146
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.320
it up. So then what you do is you're triggering

147
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.240
my flesh. And that's when I don't really like you.

148
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.200
I don't like you, and you become my enemy. You

149
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.480
become my enemy. And then God's ee, that's won't support

150
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.720
because he already knows your heart. He knows what you're

151
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.200
thinking before we even know, before we even see a

152
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.559
sign of it. And I'm gonna save this as a sidebar,

153
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.399
and I want everybody to come on and let's talk.

154
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.600
But this is miss Gray talking, this is me talking.

155
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.159
Nobody knows what I'm about to say. When you owe

156
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.919
me money and you're refusing to pay, or you're putting

157
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.960
other priorities ahead of them, this loan your thief in

158
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.559
my eyes, your thief THATU should not steal. And when

159
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.879
you have aught against your brother, God gives your way out.

160
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.799
Go to him, leave your gift on the altar and

161
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.600
go make peace. If you don't receive you, then go

162
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.440
get somebody else to go with you. So all this time,

163
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.840
whatever you're doing and you're trying to avoid me, just

164
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.759
guess what Every tra as action goes before Him first.

165
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.000
So now you put God in this, and that's all

166
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.679
I'm gonna say. The attack came after my health last

167
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.320
week as well, I've had to change my whole everything,

168
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.240
and I've released everybody from my life, everybody, so you

169
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.159
can't depend on me anymore. You can't depend on me anymore.

170
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.600
I even told my kids that as well. I released

171
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.759
everybody because I wasn't sure where all the attacks were coming.

172
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.200
And guess when it came for a pastor guess when

173
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.000
it came for a trade. My heart. You come from

174
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.440
my heart. My heart belonged. I gave my heart to

175
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.720
Jesus a long time ago. When it came to relationships,

176
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.879
I don't want you to. I don't want to meet

177
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.320
a man. I don't want to be tempted. I don't

178
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.879
want to remarry again. So I give my heart to

179
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.240
you Lord, and then you're gonna come for my heart.

180
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:47.919
He will show you better than I can ever tell me.

181
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.679
I'm doing okay and a new thank you, and I

182
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.600
know you do. I felt I felt all of North Louisiana, Mississippi.

183
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.799
I felt you, all of y'all, Washington. I felt you.

184
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.879
I felt you because I was likely about to blow up,

185
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.440
cancel everything. I'm out, bye bye. You'll never see me again.

186
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.200
And you know what thing I love about God. I

187
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.120
love it that he'll let us just go. We have

188
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:16.000
our little tantrums. I ain't doing it no more. I

189
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.279
ain't praying for nobody no more. I don't want to

190
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.759
talk to nobody no more. Got nobody, no mo. I'll

191
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.799
still read my word, but I don't want to deal

192
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.480
with nobody no more. So over right, you don't know,

193
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.200
you don't understand why the deep attacking me? Why do

194
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:38.799
I keeping? That's why? Why?

195
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:46.960
And then the boys you finished done? Do you?

196
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.879
Guys said alrighty? Then yeah, and my angels be like,

197
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.639
do we write this down? No? Don't now, don't do nothing,

198
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.519
just wait, just wait a minute. But my angels didn't

199
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.840
leave me this time, because usually he'll just sit them

200
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.159
down for a minute. And I'm angel lists, so reject me.

201
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.799
Think that you're getting over on me, gossip about me,

202
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.000
talk about me, don't wish me well, don't pray for me,

203
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.919
because all you're doing is putting another jewel in my crown.

204
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.440
And right now I'm working on my eighth ninth crown.

205
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.279
So thank you. And this is the only time preperly

206
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.600
that I won't use this format to whine and to

207
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.000
let you see how I whine and have my tantrum

208
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.399
because I have one as well. Because we out here

209
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.399
doing all this work, Pastor we out here Trey taking

210
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.960
all these clients and all their issues, and they don't

211
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.960
want to change nothing. They just want to hand out.

212
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.120
They just want the next time you're gonna give away

213
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.480
the fish. They don't want to take the fishing classes.

214
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.039
We all here, lord, guys like and your point, But

215
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.960
God tells you and your point. You're like, Okay, I'm done.

216
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.480
I'm really done. I'm so sorry, and he forgives us.

217
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:57.519
Let it out, give me nicky. We love you, I

218
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.679
love you, thank you. Yah. We know how to really

219
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.480
back in. But then we don't keep it though. That's

220
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.480
the difference between some of us and others. We don't

221
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.360
keep it. We don't let it go back in here

222
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.600
and we all and it's not dealt with, it's not healed,

223
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.840
and you're not recovered. We don't do that. We know

224
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.759
how to. I'm gonna leave it out here. I'm gonna

225
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.399
leave it out here, and I leave it out here.

226
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.759
It's good to ben and stay. Yeah, let it go.

227
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.039
I may have to, we may have to do a

228
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.240
field trip to up there to Mississippi, Louisiana, wherever y'all at,

229
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.879
And we have a little intervention group. You have an

230
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.840
intervention for us.

231
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.960
Have some to fay.

232
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:41.519
Oh, as long as it's not spicy. I take mine

233
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.399
with no pepper, thank you. But anyway to God be

234
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.480
the glory. Just lett y'all know. Hey, we're just as human.

235
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.240
We're just as human. But I see you, it doesn't

236
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.200
matter me. Don't fear me, Fear the God. I serve.

237
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.399
Fear the God. I serve who I'm on. I got

238
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.960
him on more than stand by. I got him more

239
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.320
on protocol I can. All I have to do is say,

240
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.000
don't have to say a mumbling word. That's to the

241
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.120
other people. That's not to our audience. That's to the

242
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.000
other people who don't even watch the show. So it's

243
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.919
between you and me, it's between us and you, that's it,

244
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.120
because they don't even watch it. They don't even watch it.

245
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.080
All right, guys, let's talk about, you know, let freedom ring,

246
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.440
where we're doing, what we're doing. Maybe what's some of

247
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.200
your hopes that things will happen? What do you want

248
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.919
America to get back to? And I don't want to

249
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.200
really get back to it because it. Really I have

250
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.360
a problem with the word resilient because it's like to

251
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.679
bounce back, the ability to bounce back. And I get

252
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.919
where that came from and where that's coming from. But

253
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.759
in our world of therapy, I need you to bounce

254
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.039
better because I don't need you to go backwards. That's

255
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.399
where we met. I really need you to bounce better.

256
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.360
So what do y'all think? And what's your top three

257
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.679
pastor what's your top three that you're hoping that America

258
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.840
would regain and improve or improve upon? There we go,

259
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.960
there we go or improve upon. I'm gonna be quiet.

260
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.919
I'm gonna mute myself because you know me, I can

261
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.120
talk to anybody. Well.

262
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.879
I one of the things that I really find that

263
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.399
we we lack or we're not connected. We're not connected

264
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.600
to our Lord. We're we're allowing so many different things

265
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:25.080
to distract us, so many little things to worry us,

266
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:31.279
so many little things to burden us, and we lose,

267
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.559
we lose our connection to the Lord. And and I

268
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.879
and I mentioned that because in one of my papers

269
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:45.519
that I wrote last week, I said, it's so interesting

270
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.600
how we have a situation like nine to eleven the

271
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.039
churches we're busting at the seams. Then we have the

272
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:59.279
twenty twenty pandemic. Churches are closing. That to me is

273
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.039
the world needs to stop putting fear because we you know,

274
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:09.039
they feel that they can manipulate the situation and put

275
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.240
fear in people so they can manipulate them to do

276
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.399
what they want to do. And it's interesting that you

277
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.399
use fear the Lord because that's in Proverbs ninety ten.

278
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:25.039
Fear the Lord the foundation wisdom, knowledge of the Holy

279
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.320
One results in good judgment. That is a powerful proverb

280
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.799
from Solomon. And that's exactly what we need, you know,

281
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.200
we need to stop fearing what we're scared of. You know,

282
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.720
in nineteen seventy three they started putting fear in people

283
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.039
with masoline shortage, and we're still producing cars. We're wanting

284
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.000
to let people know that we're going to run out

285
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.519
of gas. Look at that. Here we are twenty twenty

286
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.159
five and more cars than ever. Want all American to

287
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.039
join together and be one and remember we are all

288
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.519
people matter or what should all be together for each other?

289
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.400
Absolutely absolutely on stage, I would like us to teach

290
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.440
and learn from one another. There's so much to learn,

291
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:14.519
and you know, I'm gonna jump on on Anastagia's comment

292
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:19.599
real quick, because that's that's something that she's really touched

293
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.160
on the pulse there. We're too busy learning from other

294
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.000
people and not doing the research. So what we're doing

295
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:31.480
is we're going by what other people think. How I'm sorry,

296
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:36.799
but that's not wise at all, because if you read something,

297
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.720
I read something, Pray read something, we're all gonna have

298
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.960
three different interpretations. I mean, Pastor Gena and I were

299
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.440
watching a sermon. I got one thing out of it

300
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.279
and she got another thing at it. I'm like, did

301
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.200
we watch the same sermon? But that's just the way

302
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:58.640
it is. We have to value each other's interpretation instead

303
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.640
of saying, oh, you're wrong, why can't we just step

304
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.519
back and say, hey, you never thought of it that way?

305
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.960
That's where learning comes. Isn't that what the Greek philosophers

306
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.559
were doing. They just sat around and talked about different things,

307
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.720
and that way they learned from one another.

308
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.599
Okay, amen, amen, yep. We need our farmer's man, yes, ma'am.

309
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.599
And that's it. And you know what, and that's another thing.

310
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.480
Why don't they bring trade schools back? Why don't they

311
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.359
bring trade schools back because you know when I was

312
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.079
in school, we we mentioned it in one of our programs.

313
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.319
They had wood shop, mac mechanic school. You know, these

314
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.119
are trades where are needed. But yet you know they

315
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.920
they figure that computer technology is gonna you know, who's

316
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.200
going to handle the nuts and bolts of it? So Trey, Uh,

317
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:58.160
bring back, bring back what we the foundation of this country,

318
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.200
This nation was founded on the beliefs in God. Grade

319
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.200
schools teach one another, you know what, love one another.

320
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.680
That's exactly what Jesus talked about. Learn from the older

321
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.319
folks who have lived through things. Oh it's called respect.

322
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.799
What's called respect? And I think that's something that has

323
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.680
been lost over time. That's a shame.

324
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.799
And I don't want to forget. We had a public

325
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.359
public service action that we're supposed to have done last

326
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:29.359
between the last week and so, so I want to

327
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.319
get back to that. But yeah, that's my aging adults

328
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.640
is my heart. And I believe the Lord is getting

329
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.000
me geared up to get back. And I'll be taking

330
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.079
Jazz with me just to see just to talk to them,

331
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.759
let them know somebody is thinking about you and what

332
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.359
are your thoughts and what do you think about the world,

333
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.480
what the world needs now, and I really look forward

334
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:55.480
to that conversation. I've learned from my elders, and I

335
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.559
take great pride in that that I had something that

336
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.440
I can learn from. And I missed the fact that

337
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:07.079
my children didn't have a grandparenting experience, and uh, you know,

338
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.319
I do miss that for them because I had a

339
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.480
great grandmother on the gray side and on the round

340
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.960
tree side as well towards her her ending, and I

341
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.400
learned a lot just to let them talk, just to

342
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.480
let them talk. So when you see a Tyler Perry movie, like,

343
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.960
you know, a family reunion, and I mean that's really

344
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.279
the essence. I mean, a family reunion is like that.

345
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:32.839
It's divided up. The old men they sit and they

346
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.160
playing checkers, and you got the young people over here

347
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.400
doing this, and you got the mothers in the kitchen

348
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.880
still cooking and or they may not be cooking, but

349
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:44.079
they're doing their things. That's a real typical reunion. That's

350
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.880
what a real war looks like. You know, some of

351
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.400
them a little bit more modern. They got matching T

352
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.160
shirts now, and they'll play games now, and you know,

353
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.160
and different things like that. But that's really the essence

354
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.559
of culture for the black American family as far as

355
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.240
reunion and stuff like that. But take a trade. What

356
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.039
what what would you like? What three things you like

357
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:09.039
to see? Come back at least three? Oh? Lord, when

358
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:10.839
she closes her eyes, y'all.

359
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.359
Well this is this is this is what I am

360
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:28.319
praying for. That the manipulative, the manipulative, the lies will

361
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.440
be revealed. You know. I pray that God will reveal

362
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:39.720
those who have been lying, manipulating situations, fear mongering, you know,

363
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.279
the fear mongering. I pray that it's revealed because one

364
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:49.200
of the things is the making people fear of one

365
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:55.960
group of people, whether it's based on ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs.

366
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:01.400
You know that just this heartens me, it really does.

367
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.640
And it's scary. It's scary because when you make people prayed,

368
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.799
it's like a cat. You back a cat up in

369
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.200
the corner, it's gonna come out fighting, you know, defense mechanism.

370
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.960
And so if you poured so much in, or so

371
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.680
much is poured into your head about a certain group

372
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:19.839
of people, you.

373
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.240
Can't see anything different.

374
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.119
I pray, I pray that we learn to learn about

375
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.240
other people, their beliefs, their cultures, their religion. Not that

376
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.240
you have to agree with it, but at least understand it,

377
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.920
you know, I bray, I pray that people are not

378
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:39.920
afraid to read books. You know, I learned a lot

379
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.559
through reading books growing up different cultures. I learned about

380
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:45.759
more about my culture, you know, if we're trying to

381
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.720
be transparent here, it wasn't a lot taught about my

382
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.839
culture growing up, but I had opportunity to get books

383
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.279
and puzzles and games that introduced more, not just what

384
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.640
I was taught at home, but to show that that, okay,

385
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.920
you know, there is more to us than that you know,

386
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:09.559
so that you know, and I think I really do,

387
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.920
and and I think the other part is the hypocrisy

388
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:19.640
of using religion to justify your behaviors and acts against

389
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.559
other folks with make people think, well, is.

390
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.119
That really what the Bible is saying?

391
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.920
The God I know does not do that. You know,

392
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:29.279
He does not pit one group against the y'all correct

393
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.319
me if I'm wrong, does not put one group against

394
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.960
the other, does not do that.

395
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.400
The God I know says love one another. You know.

396
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.960
That's the God that I know.

397
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:43.200
But it's it's people pick and choose the sin that

398
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.759
outweighs the other sin. You know, it's multiple sins.

399
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:48.839
I saw an interview the other day it's such and

400
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:49.400
such a sin.

401
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.400
You will yet, but you know it's it's okay if

402
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.400
you just say that, when you say that, is that okay?

403
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.880
But no, it's not good to say that which one

404
00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.759
is it?

405
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.160
Which which one is?

406
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.440
And I think getting back to your point, Pastor, one

407
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.200
of the things with the church is closing. It seems

408
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:13.000
like the churches are becoming, like you said, sparse, obsolete.

409
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:17.160
I think the way to go with some stuff, not

410
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.319
all stuff, is people are afraid of the traditional church,

411
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.839
the four walls, you know, because of what's out there.

412
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.119
Now you know what I mean, if you're a person

413
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.720
that's new to Christ, if you're trying to follow the word,

414
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.759
if you don't know any better, but what you see

415
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.480
and what people depict that said that they're a Christian,

416
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.680
that they believe in God and they trust Jesus and

417
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.359
you to do.

418
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.480
This, and you're doing that, you're losing people.

419
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.920
You're losing people, you know, And I just like I said,

420
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.960
nothing is perfect, But I think people are afraid because

421
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.799
they're putting a lot of focus, especially hurting people.

422
00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:59.279
People are hurt. This is stuff we go through.

423
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.519
Know at any given day, Miss Gray, I can go

424
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.119
to you, pastor, I can go to you for answers,

425
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.759
for guidance. But not everybody has a pastor, Girl macguil

426
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.400
or Miss Gray. Not everybody has that. Unfortunately, some people

427
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.640
are presented with what they have right in front of them,

428
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.680
and sometimes they're being misled.

429
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.000
And so that's what I say. Those are some of

430
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.319
the things.

431
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:25.559
I might have named more than three, but those are

432
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.759
some of the things on my heart. And like I said,

433
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.599
American we can do better. We as Christians can do better,

434
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.680
We as humans can do better. We as the United

435
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.200
States of America could do better. And I just pray

436
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.440
that we do better. I pray that we do better

437
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.920
because if we're divided, a country comes, they can disrupt.

438
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:45.960
The whole thing.

439
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.640
Why because we're not agreement with anything. They've got our

440
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.640
we spot And that's what people are saying, y'all are divided.

441
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.559
But yeah, you said united stand, divide, you fall, and

442
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.279
we're doing all this any country at this vulnerable.

443
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.279
State and say, I got y'all now because y'all.

444
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.559
Can't agree on anything. And that's the sad thing. And

445
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.200
I really pray on that. I really do pray man.

446
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.759
When I was in the hospital seven years ago and

447
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.000
I woke up out of the coma and I was

448
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.359
they put the TV on for me, and I'm looking

449
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.119
at it and I'm like, what happened? And I was

450
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.759
in a coma for three weeks and I woke up

451
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.200
in twenty eighteen October, no November because it was close

452
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.599
to Thanksgiving. But I'm looking at the news and I'm like,

453
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.440
what the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, yes,

454
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.400
for the first time in a very long time, the

455
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.400
world is divided on every in every arena. It's divided

456
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.640
on every corner, on every street, is divided every church,

457
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:47.920
every house, every educational system. I was like what. And

458
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.119
we've been divided even more ever since. And I appreciate

459
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.839
what you said, trade about you know, and even pastor

460
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.559
you know, like you said, I've written some books now,

461
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.559
but this is all from my point of view. The

462
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.039
blessings read the things I went through in these books,

463
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.960
they're for me. And God has said, I need you

464
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.920
to write this and put it in a book for

465
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:11.920
them because it will help somebody else. I'm not here

466
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.200
to tell you what to do and based on what

467
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.839
I've been through, I don't know one person that can

468
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.000
handle it. And I'm not bragging at all because I'm

469
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:24.759
still reaping it. I'm still ricocheting from it. I'm still like, Okay,

470
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.519
I got my new normals go this way, and all

471
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.079
of a sudden something pops and I'm like, okay, let

472
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.039
me look over there. Oh okay, I gotta take a

473
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:32.480
piece of that. I gotta take a piece of that.

474
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.519
So when you when y'all read our books and read

475
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:38.079
our you know, or listen to pastors, you know, a

476
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:43.079
sermon or Tray's presentation, I guarantee you no five people

477
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.480
gonna leave that arena with the same Oh I got

478
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.359
that too. Nope, you never say that. You always say

479
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.000
what you got out of it, what spoke to you.

480
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.119
And that's the whole thing about godliness and messages and

481
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.559
sermons and books, you know, and and and presentations and lecture.

482
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.599
It's what you get out of it. My students used

483
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.160
to tell me years later, like, miss Gray, I remember

484
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.000
when you were telling me talking to me in class

485
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.400
five years ago, you know that really spoke to me.

486
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.200
I said, I don't, We've known each other for five years,

487
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.519
that that always gets me. And then number two what class,

488
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.240
Oh with sociology introduction to sociology, you were saying how

489
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:23.359
God put the family together, and you, I don't remember

490
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.000
nothing once after semester is done, it's done. And just

491
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.799
like when I'm praying or preministering, preaching, teaching, and you

492
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.759
can say, you know what, you remember what you said

493
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:36.680
two weeks ago, m d. It came from God and

494
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.279
it has nothing to do and no short term memory loss.

495
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.200
It's just he takes it away from it because I

496
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:43.839
love it, so I don't have I you know, I

497
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.160
know the channe lady who you said, Oh I told you,

498
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.519
didn't I tell you? I told you, See I spoke,

499
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.599
I said that I did, and I can't. I don't

500
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:54.319
like those ye messages. So I'm glad he takes it

501
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.599
away from me. I'm glad develop do your research. Like

502
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:01.920
Pastor said, do your research. I'm so happy that he's

503
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.400
part of the team because he gives the scriptures. You

504
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.599
should be right go back and listen and have a

505
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.039
pad and pen and be writing down the scripture. Now

506
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.920
you'll go back studying them. I told y'all when I

507
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.079
first read the Bible all the way through. I did

508
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.400
it four years, one year behind each other. I had

509
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.079
stinto pads, taking notes, and I would look. I would

510
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:23.960
go to Psalms eight, Psalms eight, Psalms eight, Psalms eight,

511
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.119
and have four different things. I got out of the

512
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:31.599
four different things, none circling back to each other. I'm like, wow,

513
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.039
and we stay at our word. I appreciate the men

514
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.799
and women that God has ordained, honestly ordained to minister

515
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.039
to us. But I got to go back to my word.

516
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:49.559
Heard the interview of Monique the comedian today, bless all.

517
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:54.000
That's all I can say. And she and the person asked,

518
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:55.720
do you believe in God? She said, I believe in

519
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.880
the universe. I said, there you go, then you go.

520
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:01.480
Don't try to make nothing out of that. That's what

521
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:04.160
she believes. She says something. We call him God, some

522
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.039
call them the universe. Okay, thank you. We were wondering,

523
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.839
but thank you for making that clear. It's okay. And

524
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:16.519
we're not here for everybody, not everybody. People we know personally,

525
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.960
their brothers and sisters in Christ, they go to church

526
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.680
with us, they talk God to us, they put godly

527
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.319
stuff on that pages and stuff like that, and won't

528
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.000
watch this program, and they probably can't tell you why. We'd.

529
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.079
Some people run un once they see a little episode

530
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.480
and oh they praying, Oh God, here they go. No,

531
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.359
don't be judging this book by the cover. Don't be

532
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.880
doing just trust God. Try them. I'm telling y'all. We're

533
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:46.079
telling y'all, trying all of y'all. Get a copy of

534
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:48.799
my last book. You may you know most of the

535
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:51.920
story anyway, but I promise you there's twelve of y'all,

536
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:57.000
thirteen forty fifteen, sixteen. We'll get sixteen different views of it,

537
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:00.920
no matter what I'm saying. And they've already tried to scientifically.

538
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.160
They put a group of ten people in the circle

539
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.039
and they whispered in one. By the time it goes

540
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.799
around and it comes back, that tenth person said, well,

541
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.160
what I heard was what she said was that? And

542
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.000
the person who began I said, I didn't say that.

543
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:17.079
That was not left the third person, but I heard

544
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.119
it the fourth person. I'm hit like that what happened

545
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:27.519
was Yeah.

546
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:31.119
Well, one thing I do want to say, if and

547
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.240
I'm just going to go out on a limb here,

548
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:37.039
and I think we Christians need to stop being so

549
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:42.400
that dumb, judgmental. I mean, the one who was qualified

550
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.319
to throw the rock and he didn't gives us the

551
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.079
right to throw rocks at anybody. I've learned long time ago.

552
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.400
When you point your finger at somebody, you got three

553
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:52.359
pointing back at you.

554
00:31:53.119 --> 00:32:01.559
Can you get it? I can't do that. I'm sorry, sir.

555
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.880
See you can laugh at herself. That's a strong woman,

556
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.920
a strong woman. We can't even laugh at ourselves, because

557
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.920
when we laugh at ourselves we get offended. Who do

558
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.799
we think we are? We are children God and we

559
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.480
are to serve Him, not serve our egos. Come on, now,

560
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.279
if you've got breath, you should be thanking God. And

561
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:28.480
you need to help somebody, not to help somebody. See

562
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.079
somebody struggling, help them out. I gave an example last

563
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.599
Wednesday on my sermon. Everybody says, oh, I'm a god person,

564
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.119
I'm a God person. How the Holy Spirit tells you

565
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.480
to give that person fifty dollars, And the first thing

566
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:42.319
you're going to do is look at your checking account

567
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.119
and see if you can give it up. Then all

568
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.359
of a sudden you're like, oh, I get paid tomorrow,

569
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.440
so I'll make sure that when I'll come back here

570
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.920
tomorrow and I'll give that. Some people say, oh, you

571
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.759
did what God told you to do. Oh, that's called

572
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.880
disobedience because you didn't do it right when God said it.

573
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:04.960
So that's a test of faith there. You don't have it,

574
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.079
but you're gonna trust God that he's gonna that You're

575
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.440
gonna give it to him. And God's gonna you know what,

576
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.359
God's not gonna give it to you because he's checking

577
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.279
your heart. And if you give it with joy, boy,

578
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.519
God loves it cheerful because if you so sparingly guess

579
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.640
what you're going to.

580
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.599
Get exactly what you put out.

581
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:30.279
I say it with love and respect. We say we

582
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:35.559
are who we are. Be that person in your private room,

583
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.839
because who you are in your private room not the

584
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.480
same person.

585
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:43.599
Walk out the dropping the mic. And while we're on

586
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:47.160
that pastor, while we're on that head, don't fear us.

587
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.119
Don't fear your pastor, don't fear mankind at all. You

588
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.440
better fear God. Because you wonder why I don't have

589
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.599
Oh my goodness, I can't get. I can't get I'm

590
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.440
trying to do and I can't get nowhere. But if

591
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.400
we don't have have it, how can we give it.

592
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.680
You don't. What if we do, we can just get

593
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.799
what we have and that not right? Yes, Charles, it is.

594
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.639
What he's saying is if you're withholding it, what's the scripture,

595
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.960
Sir says. If you your neighbor asks us something and

596
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.159
then you go away say I'll give it tomorrow, that's

597
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:19.360
that's scripture. It is that No, you could give it today.

598
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:21.800
I may not have it today, but I'm gonna come

599
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.880
back and find will you be here tomorrow? Will you

600
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:24.840
be here next week?

601
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.599
Have the scripture? The scripture you're talking about is when

602
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.559
Jesus had the disciples in front of the tax collectors

603
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:37.199
and here comes the widow. She gave two copper coins.

604
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.800
The disciples said, wow, this woman gave so little that

605
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.599
and Jesus turned to the disciples and said, no, you're

606
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.800
looking at it wrong. He gave it all because all

607
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:52.519
these other people were giving the leftovers. She gave it

608
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:56.440
all trusting in God. That's what leaving it on the

609
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:57.679
field really neat.

610
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.440
And I want to say this, this don't be gonna

611
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.000
this gonna pinch. You don't know when and where and

612
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.639
how God is gonna bless you. You've got so much

613
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.159
on the floor on you petition God for so much,

614
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.000
but you don't know how, when, what, which way He's

615
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:15.079
gonna do that? Then, but here you are withholding what

616
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.840
he told you to do, even if you know. Trade

617
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:19.280
comes to your mind and you're like, you know what,

618
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.199
I don't know what's going on with it. But Lord,

619
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:22.800
be with her, that's all you have to say.

620
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:23.480
Be with him.

621
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:26.440
But you're like, oh, well, she's fine. She she doing fine.

622
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.760
She she got a job and everything else. She's happy.

623
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.239
And who are you to say that? You look at us.

624
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:33.840
You don't know what we're going through behind closed doors

625
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.880
unless God tell you. Many people like oh ms, Greg

626
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:38.480
got it. You know we ain't got to work. Oh

627
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:42.000
so I went through this so that you may have Really,

628
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.199
where is that? What scripture is that? Well?

629
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:48.159
I was just pulled. I just pulled up. Malachi three ten, okay,

630
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:52.599
and Malachi three ten says, bring all the tides into

631
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.159
the storehouse, that there may be food in my house,

632
00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:00.880
and try me. Now in this says the Lord. Right

633
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.039
then and there, the Lord is saying, bring it and try.

634
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.639
Me, try me. I love it when they say that,

635
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.280
try me and see. Oh, I love it when he

636
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.760
tells you that try me. It's in the word. It's

637
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.400
in the word. If you're gonna check us, you better

638
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:18.199
check us with scripture. If you come in and say

639
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:22.280
something and it's your opinion. But I feel right there,

640
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.920
I'm not listening. You feel what did you do when

641
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:30.800
you're in church. Let's say, for instance, pastor he opens

642
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.119
up a physical building. I'll be the first one on

643
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:36.000
the front row, and he says, well, you know, Pastor Gray,

644
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.119
I need you to go to the day cares. And

645
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.119
that's gonna be your ministry. That Lord has told me

646
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.079
that I need you to go to the day cares.

647
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.960
Make sure the family's needs are taken care of if

648
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:48.599
they've got any needs. Bring that back now, children are

649
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:52.199
not my ministry. Children that are not my ministry. Let

650
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:53.599
me go to the nursing home. But you think I'm

651
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.159
gonna stand there and argue with him. He is mandated

652
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:58.679
to pray over my life. I'm gonna argue with him.

653
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.239
And yes, I may not like that, Like, oh my god,

654
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:03.079
I got to deal with children again. You know what,

655
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:05.079
the first thing I think of I think, okay, this

656
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.000
is okay, this is another forty year journey. Because somewhere

657
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.480
along the way, I missed it. I missed something, so

658
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.039
now I got to repeat by going back to a

659
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.480
population I don't work with. So I'm not blaming him.

660
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:18.519
I'm looking at me, now, how did I miss that?

661
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.159
What did I miss? Lord? And please God, don't let

662
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.079
me miss it again, because I'm going to get to

663
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:25.159
my elderly. But if the only way I could get

664
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:27.719
to my elderly is to go to these daycare centers,

665
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:29.960
then that's what I'm going to do. And God is

666
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:33.159
so merciful, let me tell you what he does. Most

667
00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:36.599
of the children that the daycares are raised by their grandparents.

668
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.320
Six I'm gonna say the same thing, m h.

669
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:44.840
I was gonna say the same thing.

670
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:49.039
That you don't have a grandparent in their life. Oh,

671
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.960
I could go to the foster grandparent program and say,

672
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.559
can you adopt this daycare center? I need you to

673
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.559
adopt the seniors groups. Can you adopt this? This? This

674
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.800
the seniors in the ministry at the church. We need

675
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.599
three daycare centers adopted because they don't have they only

676
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.199
have caregivers, they don't have direct relative. God has his

677
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.440
cake and eat it too. And I'm gonna stand here,

678
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.480
you pastors telling me Okay, now, Pastor leash, I need you.

679
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.639
You're gonna be ministering on Tuesday nights. And now he'll

680
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.800
get this. Look you sure me? Yeah? You? But everybody

681
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:24.559
speaks Spanish. Huh well no, okay, So what time do

682
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:26.599
I need to run my sermons by you? No? You

683
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:29.400
only need to run your service whatever God gives you. Okay,

684
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:33.519
see that's what the leader is. Here's this leader handing

685
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:35.760
me the ball. He tells me the ride. I got

686
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.760
to go? What time every Tuesday? Frequency I got the ball?

687
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:41.360
Do I need to check back in with you?

688
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:41.440
So?

689
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:45.119
No, you don't. Okay, I'm gone. That's what. People don't

690
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.639
trust you that you can't even care nothing. I told

691
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:50.719
you to do it this way, but you want to

692
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:53.639
do it that way. Who are you? You don't even

693
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.280
listen to leadership and you expect God to bless that.

694
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:59.159
Show me scripture, back it up in scripture. Let me

695
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.159
show me in scripture. He says, you don't have to

696
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:04.480
listen to nobody. He talks about counsel is good when

697
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.599
there's a war, get with leaders in council and the

698
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.719
people are safe in the safe in counseling. He talks

699
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.679
about that that's scripture. If you got anything to say

700
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.039
to me, bring the word with you as you bring

701
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:19.639
your opinion. I was just talking to I think my

702
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.639
son earlier and I was like, oh no, my Dogter's

703
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.119
he's so scared because I just say things. He'd be like,

704
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.960
look because I'm like, you know these people you coming

705
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.000
from me? Who's life did you have impact on this week?

706
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:37.360
Who did you talk off the ledge this week? Who

707
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.960
did you impact this week? But yet you judging this

708
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:44.840
book by the cover. I encountered a child that had

709
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:48.360
the parent. So you were saying, don't question what if

710
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.119
we are not sure what we heard? Oh no, sit still, misty,

711
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.280
don't you go off for what you think you heard.

712
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:57.320
Sit still, call us. Give us a call. Hey, you

713
00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:59.760
know I heard. I thought I heard God saying this.

714
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.840
But give us a call. If you don't have anybody.

715
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:05.559
This is my faithful listeners, and I'm putting my co

716
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.599

Us, you call us out loud enough say it.

719
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.719
If you need us, you call us. Because I'm not judging,

720
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:21.079
but I perceive that you don't have leadership enough around

721
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.679
you that either you trust or that you could get

722
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:26.599
a hold of. So call us. We don't know everything,

723
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.079

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:33.320
who knows everything. He is the alpha and the omega.

725
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.079
He's the beginning and the end, and he does very

726
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:39.119
well with the in between. We know him on first

727
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:43.400
