Well, good evening, good evening, good evening. Welcome to another

11
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.280
segment of setting it Straight with Miss Gray and her

12
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.599
fabulous co hosts. In the name of Jesus, let's go

13
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.439
to the Throne room and pray and we're gonna check

14
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.760
in in just a minute. Father, we just thank you

15
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.920
for this day. Thank you for the daily bread that

16
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.920
we received today. Thank You for allowing us to go

17
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:51.079
and come and go and come and arrive to our destinations. Accordingly, Lord,

18
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.599
it's a sad day, especially for the folks in Wisconsin.

19
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.840
We lift the families, the school, the whole area up

20
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.959
to you right now, and we asked that you allow

21
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.319
them to come together and provide the services that's needed.

22
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.560
We don't know the whole story, but you know the

23
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.840
whole story. You're the author and the finisher of the faith.

24
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.840
So we stand alongside them, praying that all will be

25
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.439
well as they go through this part of this heart

26
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.919
wrenching journey. We also lift up the child the Ambrell

27
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.199
alert we got this morning here in Orlando, or in

28
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.439
Florida for a child that was kidnapped taken. Father, I

29
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.080
pray that by the by midnight tonight, that child will

30
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.719
be safely in here's or her in there, it's home

31
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.759
with the loving family, and that folks who are behind it,

32
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.199
who knew about it, who were involved in it, will

33
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.560
go get therapy, just go get some help. And Father,

34
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.360
we also pray for the silver alert that we got

35
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.639
earlier today day. There's a senior out there that's missing

36
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.879
and they're driving and we asked Father, God send the

37
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.639
angels to bring them safely home. Now, Father is always

38
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.240
this is your time to talk to your people on

39
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.879
this platform, and ninety nine more we ask that you

40
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.680
have your way not only in our lives, but in

41
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.400
their lives and listeners, those who will come by later

42
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.240
and listen in and share and upload and whatever the

43
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.919
case may be, we get behind the cross. We ever

44
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.400
give you all the praise, glory and honor in Jesus name,

45
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:42.520

00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.839
a kid growing up with.

00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.439

65
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.000

66
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.600

you guys are doing well again. Three major events going

68
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.680
on here in Florida right behind, and I enjoyed that

69
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.720
in my day. Come on, country seat, thank you, thank you,

70
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.040
thank you, hall edlujah, thank you. It worked, it worked

71
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:19.560
out okay with the school shooting in Wisconsin and uh,

72
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.800
we've had an amber alert earlier today and we had

73
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.079
a silver alert earlier today. So we just got to

74
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.399
pray for those for people when we see people. When

75
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.560
I see people, uh, shut down on the side of

76
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.199
the road, I immediately asked God to send send them services,

77
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.040
send them some help. Father God. I don't take that

78
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.600
because I don't That's one thing I never want to

79
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.000
ever be on the side of the road. And I've

80
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.800
got triple A, I got AA, I got a BA

81
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.680
and all you know, I got all kinds of I

82
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.600
got three sets of towing services because you know, especially

83
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.920
being a widow, you know, it's it's just different, you know,

84
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.720
And you just don't know. My daddy failed to show

85
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.439
me how to change a tire, you know. So I

86
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.160
count and I pay for it. I don't use it,

87
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.319
don't need I haven't had, haven't had it. But when

88
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.639
I did need it, it was good to be able

89
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.759
to get on my phone and make a call and

90
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.000
somebody was on their way. So whenever I see somebody,

91
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.920
and since then, every time I see somebody shut down

92
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.959
or broke down on the side of the road, I

93
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.800
just asked the angels please, you know, and God to

94
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.839
send them help. And I, you know, I wait, I

95
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.560
look in my back mirror to see if I see it,

96
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.519
either toe rangers or whatever. And you know, I'll make

97
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.240
a call. I'll make a call, you know, for somebody

98
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.240
to come and help somebody. So we can't take that

99
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:47.519
for granted tonight. God gave us this subject a while back,

100
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.279
and I know that he wants me to start. Oh,

101
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.759
don't think I forgot about the homework. Now I'm gonna see.

102
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.399
We're gonna check in before we get off tonight. Who

103
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:04.279
actually uploaded or shared any episode or just the logo

104
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.680
set of the show. We're gonna go and get through.

105
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.480
Thank I forgot. I need to forget because God didn't forget.

106
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.360
So but anyway, our romans one in sixteen for me

107
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.240
today tonight, for I am not ashamed of the Gospel

108
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.800
of Christ, for it is the power of God. Unto

109
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.759
salvation to everyone that believeth to the jew first, and

110
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.720
also to the Greek. And I went to seventeen for

111
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.279
therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith.

112
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.160
As it is written, the just shall live by faith.

113
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.879
Faith is that which you cannot see as the evidence

114
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.319
of things hoped for. And we've talked about this before,

115
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.879
we'll talk about it again. Faith is you all knowing

116
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.560
talking to the current viewers right now, you all knowing

117
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.639
that on Monday nights, unless we give your heads up,

118
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.879
there will be alive stting it straight. You all know that,

119
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.439
and you do whatever you feel in your heart to

120
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.680
do to be a part of us live or to

121
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.959
make sure I'm going to go back and listen to it.

122
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.279
I trust that you all do that. I trust that

123
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:22.360
you do that. So just as you have hope, you

124
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.560
don't see it yet. You don't see tonight's show. You

125
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.040
don't have any indication except if you look on YouTube

126
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.600
or if you look on Facebook, no meanly Facebook, it'll

127
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.480
tell you what show. You know when we're coming back

128
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.039
up again, you know that's all you got. And unless

129
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.279
we tell you tonight before like next week, we won't

130
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.200
be here. It will be a repeated show. Everybody need

131
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.679
to take some time off get those last gifts, So

132
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:51.200
get baked that last apple pie. But most of the

133
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:52.960
time we don't tell you if we're gonna repeat it.

134
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.720
But you trust that there will be a segment on,

135
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.159
just like you trust and hope that we are in

136
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.480
place and we have a life changing word that's gonna

137
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.159
just set you free even more. That's what God is

138
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:13.639
expecting of us, to have faith in him. He who

139
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:19.399
we cannot see physically, but you can feel him, you

140
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:26.120
can hear him, and he's never wrong. He don't guess,

141
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.519
He don't say you know what. Now you know what, warrior,

142
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.559
I think you should. I think you He don't talk

143
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.840
like that. He said, just try me and see, try

144
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.879
me and see he takes He just uses his word.

145
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.960
So here I'm looking at it. I'm not ashamed of

146
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.559
the gospel, because God says clearly, if you're ashamed of me,

147
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.759
I'm shamed in you, and we keep it moving. I'm

148
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:54.240
not ashamed. I'm not ashamed. And it's the power of

149
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:59.600
God unto salvation to everyone that believes, not just believe

150
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.080
in the ca Atholtic way of things, not just believing

151
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.639
in the Baptist way of things, not believing in the

152
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:10.279
denomination that is not in the Bible, it said for

153
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.559
everyone that believeth to the jew first, they were first

154
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.960
in Genesis, and also to the Greek. And there's the

155
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:26.840
righteousness of God. There's the righteousness of God right standing

156
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.519
of Him, proccess to eternal life, no matter what how

157
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.960
you were raised, what church denomination you were raised in.

158
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.639
You know what I'm saying. And nowhere in the Word

159
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.919
do is to say. Okay, Now, Catholics, I want to

160
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.919
get to you first, because I know you all, y'all

161
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:44.639
believe in the Virgin Mary, and you got the you know,

162

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.799

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.279
I want I'm gonna deal with that, you know. No, Okay,

165
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.320
Baptist Southern Baptists primitive. We ask if people need help,

166
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.480
or if they are pushed in the vehicle off the road,

167
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.919
we park and help push Mickey. See, I can't even

168
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.679
make this up. I can't even make You're gonna relate

169
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:10.039
to something we say tonight, You're gonna relate. I'm just

170
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.320
let the spirit move me I'm let the spirit speak it.

171
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:19.440
But thank you Mickey for sharing that. Amen. So it's

172
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:24.840
about faith and what is faith? What is faith? Faith

173
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.759
is something is an action verb. But you you're working

174
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:34.279
that thing. Fath without work is dead. Increasing your faith

175
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.639
round by round. Oh, it's an action word. It's an

176
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.320
action word. You don't walk around saying, well, I am

177
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.919
a personal faith. Can't you tell them I'm a personal faith? No,

178
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.759
I can't tell because when you have to shouting like that, No,

179
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.679
I know you ain't living none of this. I know

180
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:59.000
you're not living none of this. So as I've shared

181
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.399
with you all, share the show every week and think

182
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.600
you had a stage. Yeah, good evening, good evening that

183
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:10.440
praise God. And I know someone just like you all

184
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.120
who started out slow with us. I think Country Sea

185
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.799
was the first one on, if my memory serves me correctly,

186
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:23.360
that made a statement. And you're not looking at us

187
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.559
now we know you don't. You wouldn't do that to us.

188
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.240
You're not old this. You know it's grazy. We got pastor,

189
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.159
we got trade. No, you ain't and you got you

190
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.159
know BB. No, you ain't looking at the human us.

191
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.759
You're looking at us to talk about faith. What makes

192
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:40.960
it work? What keeps y'all in place? What keeps y'all going?

193
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.200
What keeps y'all? I auditioned, I'm applying for an audition

194
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.679
and I'm bringing all the kids in with me. This

195
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:55.200
is gonna be fun. And my former casting agent said, Lisia,

196
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.679
you just amazed me. And I just showed some pictures

197
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.240
and stuff. But what we're doing, she said, you just

198
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.120
amazed me. I said, no, this is God. That's God.

199
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:16.279
None of what you see, you know, what you see

200
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.399
is me. The only thing I have to do with

201
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.759
me being here, being back on this platform, being back

202
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.159
in this setting, knowing these people, being able to reacquaint,

203
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.679
you know, reacquaint myself for Trey after all these years,

204
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:38.519
getting to know Pastor. It's God. It's God. I couldn't

205
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.559
even while I was in the hospital, y'all bad this job.

206
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.919
I couldn't even ask God for what I wanted because

207
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.200
I was still stuck at what happened to me? How

208
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.960
did this come upon me? So y'all get off. If

209
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.360
I could say anything tonight, get up off of that pitything,

210
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.840
Get up off of that. You woke up today, it's Monday.

211
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:02.720
Some of you have had to go to work. Y'all

212
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.240
had to clock in, you know the drift, So get

213
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.440
over Oh God, I gotta go to work. Get over that,

214
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.840
Get that out your mind. Get out there, because this

215
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.559
young lady who is now dead, shooting two other people

216
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.600
and killing them, and danger and danger in the lives

217
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.559
of the whole school, a whole neighborhood. I don't know

218
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:26.240
what she was thinking today. I don't know what she

219
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.360
was thinking. So yeah, your thoughts play into this. Your

220
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.360
thoughts play into your level of faith, where you are

221
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.159
with your faith, what you do with your faith, your

222
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.960
carnal thoughts. We enjoy the show and we learn things here.

223
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.200
This show is very good and has changed our lives.

224
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.759
Thank you, country Self, We love you. We also shared

225
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.320
the show and tell people about Thank you. See I

226
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.519
didn't see they already telling on themselves. I didn't even

227
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.679
have to ask they are quit to go ahead, no no, no,

228
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.919
I out. We don't want her to say I'm not

229
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.240
gonna call you out. Thank you so much, and I

230
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:02.679
believe you did. But God, it wasn't what I'm thinking.

231
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.080
It's not but what we were thinking. It's God. I

232
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.200
told what did I say? God said for me to

233
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.840
tell y'all to do this. That's how this thing works.

234
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.559
God said, don't shoot the messenger, don't come for me,

235
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.759
and it's send for you. I'm gonna do what he

236
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:26.679
tells me to do. You know, So your your thoughts

237
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.240
and I put down in some one of my You

238
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.360
got the declutter up here and let him. You got

239
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.720
to clear this out, even if let me tell you

240
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.679
we moved it. I'm taking just one grip at a time.

241
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.679
I'm taking one area at a time, just a clear space.

242
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.480
I'm not trying to Okay, I got all this stuff.

243
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.759
This is all bathroom stuff. Let's take it. Uh huh.

244
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.519
I'll burn out real quick. I'll get tired really fast.

245
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.440
I'm taking one spot. I'll look at something and say, okay, Lord,

246
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.679
you want me to do that one. I don't wait

247
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.440
for I know what he tells me. Put my eyes

248
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.080
on something. Everything he's making me look at it's on

249
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.279
his mind. So I go grab the grip. The grip

250
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.799
and I took out everything. Some of the stuff went

251
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.480
to the trash, others when I got all kinds of

252
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.799
drawers around here. That's why I'm inviting nobody to the house,

253
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.159
because y'all ain't gonna understand. When y'all walk in the

254
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.240
front door, you go, well, where's the living room? Is

255
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:25.080
this storage? What do you do? Hey? I got to

256
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.519
make it livable for me by the leading of the

257
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.600
Holy Spirit. And I'm gonna stop here because I segue

258
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.759
to another part of this. So I'm gonna stop here

259
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.919
and want my co hosts to come on in and

260
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.039
say what you need to say and all that jazz,

261
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.320
whatever's on your heart.

262
00:16:46.120 --> 00:17:03.480
You perfect, Yeah.

263
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.319
I want to let Trey you wanted. I don't know

264
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.000
if I just want to let you know, Trey that

265
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.519
we can barely hear you just wanted to let you

266
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:09.960
know that.

267
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:24.039
All right? But right, there's something I really and and

268
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:32.200
I've been touching on this topic with my wife, and uh,

269
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.559
usually this is the time of year.

270
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.000
Where we get to see a lot of tragedies. We

271
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:49.240
get to see people pass away, we get to see

272
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:54.640
the anger build up, we get to see patients run out,

273
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.920
and then we really get to see instead of joy,

274
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.400
we get to see the ugliness and we have to

275
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:10.039
understand where it comes from. And the bottom line is

276
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.920
that out of all year, in the month of December,

277
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:19.240
there's more focus placed on Christ. There's more focus placed

278
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.839
on Jesus in his birth and the significance of Jesus

279
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:31.279
in our lives. But we have to understand we have

280
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:43.319
to good late evening from North Norway outstanding. Wow, Charles

281
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.799
are right, it's not a happy time of year for everyone,

282
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:51.799
and you're absolutely right. Wow, we welcome you from Norway.

283
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.519
It's fantastic, It's fantastic. But let me get back to

284
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.880
what I wanted to say. This is the time of

285
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:05.799
year where the enemy really attacks us, attacks us in

286
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:13.039
a way because the enemy wants to discredit all of

287
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:18.680
the praise that goes to our savior, Jesus Christ. And

288
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.319
this is where we really have to understand who is

289
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.359
attacking us and why they're attacking us. So what are

290
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:31.440
we doing to prepare for those types of attacks? And

291
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:37.279
this is why it's so so important when we study

292
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.599
the Word, we're listening to what the Holy Spirit is

293
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.799
telling us. Now, again, I don't want to get too

294
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:52.319
deep here, but I did not know that Miss Gray

295
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.279
was going to touch on romans to one because I

296
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.200
really want to. I want our listeners to understand something

297
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:06.240
about the type of God that we serve. Okay, our

298
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.440
type of God is a gentleman. He does not force

299
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:16.640
himself upon us. He wants us to love him genuinely.

300
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.680
And the reason why I say that, it's because if

301
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:28.519
you continue reading in Romans chapter one, we read that

302
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.799
for even though God, even though they knew God, they

303
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.319
did not honor him, was God or give thanks, but

304
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:44.480
they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart

305
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:49.720
was darkened. So this is the type of God that

306
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:54.599
we served. We have faith, but did you know that

307
00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:00.119
there's a faith that people don't believe in God. But

308
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.079
we have to really understand that whether you believe in

309
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.240
God or if you don't believe in God, that's a

310
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:13.279
form of faith. And we have to understand that God

311
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.920
allows us to make these choices. So if you don't

312
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.160
want to believe in Him, He's going to allow you

313
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.440
to continue living the way you want, and then you're

314
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:28.279
going to get the type of results from you living

315
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.079
the way you want and not wanting to live according

316
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:35.680
to God's godlines. And it's not because God is a tyrant.

317
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.319
God is a loving father, and he wants the best

318
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.200
for you, for us. And sometimes just like when we

319
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.480
respond to our children when they're about to touch a heart,

320
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.720
a hot stove. We tell them, no, don't do that,

321
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:58.079
because you're going to get hurt. That's a caring, loving parent.

322
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.720
And this is why we have to understand God sets

323
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.279
guidelines for us, because what he is doing is he

324
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:11.680
is preparing us for what happens after we're done here.

325
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:18.359
And what we must realize is that here, while we're

326
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:24.480
still living, we're still walking, we are a blip compared

327
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:31.839
to eternity. And because of all of the sadness, all

328
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:39.640
of the anger, the bitterness, you see people doing things

329
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:43.319
that makes you wonder, go, what is going on here?

330
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:49.839
And that's because the evil one wants to discredit God's

331
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:55.759
beautiful gift to us, and that is the gift of

332
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:02.720
salvation through his son Jesus Christ. And that's why it's

333
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:07.559
so important to understand. Miss Gray touched on Hebrews eleven

334
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.039
to one, which is things hoped for for the evidence

335
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.119
of things not seen.

336
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.319
You know.

337
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.759
That's why faith is being able to believe in something

338
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:24.519
that you don't see knowing it exists. I mean, let's

339
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.640
think about this. When God created the world, there was

340
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.319
nothing in existence, and he created it by speaking it

341
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:39.960
into existence. That's impressive because he didn't need anything. And

342
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.039
science wants to say, well, we need this, we need this. Well,

343
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.839
God didn't need it because he created it all, created

344
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:50.920
you to be special. And here's what I'm going to

345
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.920
leave with and then I'll turn it over to Trey.

346
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.960
And that is God created you individually because God will

347
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:06.160
wants a deep personal relationship with you, not the world

348
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:13.400
with you. And he designed you for a purpose for

349
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:19.960
his kingdom, and because He planned you from the get go,

350
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.279
from the beginning in that meaning, between God, the Father,

351
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.119
the Word, and the Holy Spirit, there was a meaning.

352
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:29.359
And lets well let's create miss Gray. Oh what a

353
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.319
great personality. Let's give her that. Let's create Trey and

354
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.599
give her that personality. And then me, we have our

355
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.960
own traits and the Holy Spirit is the one that

356
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:45.519
works on us. So if we I've heard the lyrics

357
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.920
of a great song and it's called the Stand by

358
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.480
a group called United, and it says, I stand with

359
00:24:54.880 --> 00:25:00.759
arms high, with heart abandoned the one who gave it

360
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:08.000
all to me. That's what it is. Surrender. My heart

361
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.799
is abandoned because I don't want to think about me.

362
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.880
I want to think about my Creator, my Christ, my

363
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:21.519
Holy Spirit who pulled me out of the pits of hell,

364
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:28.319
give me eternal life. That gift is available to all.

365
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.119
It's just a matter of surrendering and accepting Christ as

366
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.960
your savior because you cannot and you can underline the

367
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.880
word cannot save yourself.

368
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.759
Hey, ma'am passa, can you hear me?

369
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:52.079
Now?

370
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:55.720
Okay? Shoot, all right?

371
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.559
So a lot of clear good buddy, all.

372
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:02.400
Right, ten for.

373
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.559
I ten forge you.

374
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.920
So what I was saying is I had seen something

375
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.960
recently about December, the D part. So I said, I

376
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:23.160
think it's declutter, distressed and detached and so going into Yeah,

377
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:24.839
I thought it was good. So I was trying to

378
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:27.599
find to see if I could look it up. But

379
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.599
that's so fitting for the end of the year. You know, declutter,

380
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.079
get rid of things that you don't need, distress, don't

381
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:41.759
take the stuff that you that that you experienced in

382
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.640
twenty twenty four into twenty five, and detach from.

383
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.920
Things that are not going to benefit you spiritually.

384
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.759
You know, people places, things that are not going to

385
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.880
get you closer to the key on God and so

386
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.559
and bring some folks along with you, you know, talk

387
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:01.440
about the glory of God and what He's done.

388
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.160
Like I think we said, I shirt. It was God

389
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:05.119
is good all the time.

390
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.640
Look at me, I'm a witness or I'm a testimony

391
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.319
or something we said we're going to do. But it

392
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.720
is so fitting. And I tell you, when I came on,

393
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.200
you said, how are we doing great? Because there's so many,

394
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.079
so much that's going on in this world. I really

395
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.079
don't feel like that I have a I should be complaining.

396
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.079
You know, there are things that are happening. Nothing is perfect,

397
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:26.480
but I think I try.

398
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.000
I want.

399
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:31.599
I want to be more conscientious of speaking positive things

400
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:37.640
and affirmations and feelings of wellness versus things that could

401
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:40.039
put me in a different limelight.

402
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:42.839
And so and I know I wasn't able to.

403
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.079
Jump on much for last week's you know, seasonal adjustment disorder.

404
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.160
But this time of the year is not really my favorite.

405
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:50.599
You know.

406
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.759
It's like I said, it's dark. You know, it's darker.

407
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.079
It's darker early and I thrive more on sunshine and

408
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:01.799
you know, happiness and brightness and warmer weather, and this

409
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.480
is not my favorite time of the year. You know,

410
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.440
it used to be as a kid, you know, Christmas

411
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:09.759
and all that stuff, But as I grow older, it's different.

412
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.160
It's a little different and so I do like riding

413
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.960
and looking at the Christmas lights, you know, so I've

414
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.480
really been into that, just kind of seeing things and

415
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.960
just finding things to be upbeat. You know, people places,

416
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.720
things that are going to lift me up spiritually, and

417
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.839
you know, attending church and reading the Bible and getting

418
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.359
the word in and so things that are not going

419
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.880
to put me into a slump.

420
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:39.079
Because there's so many things.

421
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.599
Out there that can you know, if you watch the news,

422
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:43.960
just like we were just saying, we identify three things

423
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.240
that are going on silver alert, amber alert out in Wisconsin.

424
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.599
You know, it's so many things.

425
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.480
Death is happening all around us, and so people are

426
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.799
going through things, and so I would just praying for

427
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.519
folks that.

428
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.440
In twenty twenty five have been.

429
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.039
Moving forward that they find some type of peace, you know,

430
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.759
find something that's gonna uplift them, things that's gonna brighten family,

431
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.559
reconnect with folks that maybe you haven't connected with in

432
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:16.960
a while, to see if you can rebuild relationships and

433
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.799
make them better or improve them like they were before.

434
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:22.160
You don't want to take stuff into it's going to

435
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:22.920
pull you down.

436
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.720
But just I'm just rethinking, just rethinking, revamping, read everything

437
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:33.000
right now and so moving forward, just trying to be

438
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:38.759
more upbeat and share a little sunshine with others that

439
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.880
might be going through something, because you don't know what

440
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.000
I saw. It was something on Facebook someone said, you

441
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.640
don't know the person that's around you that's going to

442
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.799
go through something, so a kind word. I think it

443
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.240
was on an establishment, so kind words, you know.

444
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:54.119
Hello, greeting, how are you.

445
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:57.119
I hope your day as well, and that you'd be

446
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.960
surprised on what that would do to other folks. Maybe

447
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.440
no one's ask them how the day was, you know.

448
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:03.920
And I hope you have a good day.

449
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.519
Those things are free, you know, it doesn't cost anything

450
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:10.359
to say that, even in emails, good morning, I hope

451
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.039
you're having a great day so far, and then have

452
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:14.359
a great rest of your day.

453
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.160
You know, just little things that don't cost anything.

454
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:21.079
Just just a little effort to try to maybe bright

455
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:28.279
someone's what people experience on the other end of the phone, calls, emails, text, period,

456
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:33.039
you know, clientele, and just trying to be that spark

457
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.920
or that light.

458
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:38.279
Amen. Amen.

459
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:45.759
Mister. I mentioned about repurposing and a few weeks ago,

460
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:49.559
my daughter and I met with my former wound care

461
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.400
nurse that was with me for a whole year, and

462
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:54.799
I'm not. We text all the time and stuff. I

463
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:59.200
keep updated what we're doing. And her daughter, she had

464
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.160
made something for me and we accidentally misplaced it. So

465
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.279
I text her and I said, could you make me

466
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.799
another one? And she goes, sure, Miss gressing how much

467
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:09.920
you're gonna charge? She goes, whatever you want to give me.

468
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.960
I'm not charging you for that. And I'm hoping I

469
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:13.279
can hold this up correctly.

470
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:24.079
Oh wow, repurpose. Oh wow, that's nice. Oh that's beautiful.

471
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:31.359
Repurpose really nice. And that's the message I walk with

472
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.039
also along in conjunction. Thank you God is good. She's

473
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:41.279
very talented. I walk around with the phrase new normal

474
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:47.799
because that's part of my balance now, thank you. Miss

475
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:53.000
That is you've got to embrace. You've got to embrace

476
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.319
where you are. And if you don't like where you are,

477
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.359
you don't like how things are looking, then do something

478
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:05.279
about it. You cannot complain to me anymore. I've already

479
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.039
told the remaining spiritual sons and daughters. I have make

480
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:12.240
a decision. But whatever it is, whichever way you go,

481
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.119
don't bring it back up to me. Because we've been

482
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.759
talking about this too long. Don't let me repeat myself. Please,

483
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.759
And I'm standing. I'm telling my kids, you know, you

484
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:28.359
make your decisions. I support whatever as long as it

485
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.119
aligns with God, as long as we can find a

486
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.359
couple of scriptures that back you up. But if you

487
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.599
know that I'm not going to be too happy with it,

488
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.599
don't even tell me. Don't even tell me. I'm not.

489
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:43.359
I don't want it going forward. Even though I started

490
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:47.680
my new year back in September with Russia, Shanna and

491
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.839
all the Jewish high Holy Days, I'm not. Every day

492
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:56.079
I try to walk in that. I also on Facebook,

493
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.880
I follow that a Christian biker's group. Don't ask me what.

494
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.400
And there's one gentleman that always come up with these

495
00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:06.240
nice whatever day of the week it is, he'll say,

496
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:09.480
it's like this one. It's Saturday, and he prays. This

497
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.839
is a prayer for everybody on the page. And he said,

498
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:18.559
Heavenly Father, a new day, it's Saturday, a new weekend.

499
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:23.079
Thank you for it all. Thank you for always being

500
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.839
there for me, even when I fall. I am so

501
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.960
grateful that you picked me up and turned me around.

502
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:35.920
Then you set my feet on solid ground. My prayer

503
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.480
is that you touch and heal the sick men broken hearts,

504
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:44.519
comfort those who mourn, and bless those who have a

505
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:48.359
financial needs. May you continue to keep us under the

506
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:54.119
shadow of your wings in Jesus name. Amen. So I

507
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:57.279
get those and then I'll share on my phone, and

508
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.079
then I send it out to whoever God tells me

509
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.079
to send it to, and I'll post some of it

510
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.359
in my groups that are my pages that are on Facebook.

511
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.799
Sometimes I come out of that people who are not

512
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.840
on social media and do that. I too need accolades.

513
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:18.159
Even though I know God's word, I'm not as a

514
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:22.039
stupe as somebody else, and I won't even look at him.

515
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.119
But I know where to find it. I know the

516
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.679
difference between Old Testament and New Testament. I'll find it.

517
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.800
But you've got to, as you decluttering, you got to

518
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.679
just put Jesus in the space because you don't need

519
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:44.039
no holes, you don't need no openings, because the devil's

520
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:48.039
always seeking, just like an ant. I don't know how

521
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:51.599
ants can get in a space in a hole that

522
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:56.000
you cannot see, but once one come in, here comes

523
00:34:56.079 --> 00:35:00.880
everybody else. It's the most peculiar an them on ever.

524
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.199
That insect is very determined, it knows what it needs,

525
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.079
and it's like, okay, Harry, y'all come on. I got

526
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:15.840
a hold and they spread out. I was watching I

527
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:19.360
went to see Gladiator, and that's what I'm asking God

528
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:23.199
for is a team. Where's my team? Because they have

529
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.119
each other's back, just like that ant. Those ants, they

530
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.159
don't I don't, We don't know how they're talking, how

531
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.119
they communicate, but they already know. We are to seek

532
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:37.119
and seek and grab what we can and then we're

533
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.280
gonna set up a mountain over here. Then we set

534
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:41.559
up a mound over here, and we set up let's

535
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:44.480
set up houses, let's take to take a little piece

536
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.280
of the territory. That's the type of team I want

537
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:50.880
that's got my back. I don't have to tell you stuff.

538
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.519
You can pick me up now. People will text me, Hey,

539
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:56.119
you on my mind, you're okay, And all I want

540
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:59.599
to say is did you pray for me? Because you

541
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:02.400
won't even know from out of my lips what I'm

542
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.519
going through because people just can't handle that. Leaders and

543
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:10.039
people of faith can go through stuff that you don't

544
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.280
have impact and influencing other folks lives. So I know

545
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:17.039
I would just I shared it one young lady who

546
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:21.519
was my first spiritual daughter, and I made the mistake

547
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.480
of being personal with her because I really didn't have friends,

548
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:31.719
friends that I could confide in. And she it was gutsy,

549
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.320
but she said, Miss Gray, I don't If you can't

550
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.400
help yourself, how can you help me. I mean, that

551
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.679
was just like just punch, just like, Okay, I'm never

552
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:46.280
doing that again. I'm never mentoring anybody else again. I

553
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.400
can't talk to anybody about my personal beings like okay,

554
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:53.800
you know, to this day, I talk to God. But

555
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.440
if I'm texting you, hey, you're good, I just need

556
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:01.880
to hear your voice, or I'm calling you, I need

557
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.880
to hear your voice. And eighty five to ninety percent

558
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.679
of the time God is telling me to do that

559
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:18.920
because I'm really trying to stay focused, even in my house,

560
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:21.480
I'm trying to stay fuld.

561
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:21.760
Ok.

562
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:29.920
Yes, I don't sit up and wait. I don't sit

563
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.639
up and wait and go seeking the devil. Where the

564
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.000
devil at? Where the devil at? No, he'll come to

565
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.679
you after a while, He'll show hiss head. Now, I

566
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.320
want to segue while the little time we have left

567
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:49.519
two we brought this up again, but God said, just

568
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:51.480
told me, no, you need to bring this up again,

569
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:58.760
because people hear statements and stuff like that, statements and scriptures,

570
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:00.960
and they think that those are the script But I

571
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:05.360
just googled, you know, scriptures that are ten popular Bible

572
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.239
verse not for popular vibe, popular Bible verses that are

573
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:11.920
actually in the Bible. And I don't know who needs

574
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:13.639
to hear this, but this is what God told me

575
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.119
to do. So I'm gonna name a few, just ten

576
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.199
I found. Tell you, there's really twenty nine. I've seen

577
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.280
twenty nine on Google. Scare me half to death. But anyway,

578
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.840
here we go. Spare the rods for the child not

579
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:33.239
in there. That's rephrase of Proverbs thirteen to twenty four

580
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.960
that says he who spares the rod hates his son,

581
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.360
but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.

582
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:43.320
And I know there's another word, you know, from the

583
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:48.320
nineteen fifty four King James version. The discipline is not

584
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.719
in the Bible. But anyway, okay, money is the root

585
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.639
of all evil. We already know the love of money.

586
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.280
The love of money. Not everybody's meant to be a

587
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:06.880
mother to race who died a millionaire. She chose to

588
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:11.800
live a pauper's lifestyle. She chose just like Lydia in

589
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.159
the Bible. Where did Jesus find her in the church

590
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:18.159
she was praying. We never heard of Lydia. Then when

591
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:25.280
she's in the church praying so please, you know you

592
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:28.840
got to make That's why studying the word, not just

593
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:34.159
reading it, Studying the word and then meditating on that scripture,

594
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.960
on those words. You don't ever have to memorize the Bible.

595
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:43.320
You don't memorize scripture. God or Jesus never say memorize

596
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:48.039
my words. He'll say, takeing eat of it. Studying to

597
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:52.920
show yourself approved, approved, to do what, to rightly divide

598
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:57.920
the truth so people can't just step there. False prophets

599
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.840
are on the rise. Unlike ever before. We've been warned

600
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:05.039
about this for years and years ago. I've never seen

601
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:09.599
this mess as nasty as it is. A man a

602
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:14.519
woman getting on the airwaves and talking and turning scripture around,

603
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.639
and people, oh, I needed to hear this. I need

604
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:23.440
no the scriptures backwards. That's not what that means. Even basics,

605
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:27.960
money is not the root of all evil. You need

606
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.320
to make money. We need money to survive, pay our

607
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:33.400
bills and keep ourselves out of debt. And you need

608
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.760
to get out of debt. You need to get out

609
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.679
of debt as best as you can, and you need

610
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.039
to keep cash in the house. There we go. Cleanliness

611
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.320
is next to godliness. I never thought that that was

612
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.920
a scripture. Never in my whole life, never thought that

613
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:55.440
was a scripture. But people preach it. There are sermons

614
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:59.519
on this, and so people walk away thinking that scripture. No,

615
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:02.960
And I think they say the prayerphrase James four and eight,

616
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.719
draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

617
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:12.039
Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts. You

618
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:13.320
double minded.

619
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:17.440
A little testament there.

620
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:26.199
Yeah, money cometh to me. Now, I don't know why

621
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:33.199
people would think that's a scripture. That's an affirmation. Money

622
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:35.320
find me. There are times I, okay, this is I'm

623
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.119
gonna go off the grid here in a minute. I

624
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.079
mean I'm going off the grid. Now, y'all gonna be

625
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:42.760
like what I wear green. There are times I wear

626
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.360
green on purpose and I say, as I step out

627
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.039
my door, money find me. Angels, make sure my money,

628
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:53.800
whoever owes me they find me today. I need it,

629
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:55.719
I want it. I don't like that. I don't like

630
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.480
people oweing me. I don't like that because I know

631
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:00.599
what the devil does. He sits on that and he'll

632
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.639
mess try to mess with my account. He'll mess with

633
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:04.320
your account, you know, and then you call him back.

634
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.360
I can. You're avoiding my call because you know you

635
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:10.039
do on this particular date, and you avoiding my call

636
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.960
like it hurt me. You ain't hurting me, you're hurting him.

637
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:15.280
It bounces off of me and go straight to the

638
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:18.599
throne room of God. So money coming to me now

639
00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:22.199
as a statement? How as an accolade? Basically you know,

640
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.159
affirmation money, you know, But me, I take money, find

641
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:29.840
me and I wear green. I know that's that's beyond

642
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:31.880
most of y'all. You don't have to do it, but

643
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:39.199
guess what it works for me? Works for me? Blessed

644
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:42.480
in holly favor again, that's just another accolade. That's just

645
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.039
just a decree, you know, or I'm blessed hollly favorite.

646
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.519
I did ask one person one time, what does that mean?

647
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.519
Because you just got through saying, you know, I ain't

648
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.760
got y'all don't have grocery, and I don't tell me

649
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:56.079
what you don't have, and then you just said, well, girl,

650
00:42:56.119 --> 00:43:01.880
I'm blessed, Holly favorite. You just you just contradicted yourself

651
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.159
because you're asking for stuff on one hand, and then

652
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.559
you're gonna bring up this as if it's a scripture.

653
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:10.760
But it's just an acclamation. And it's on handbags as well.

654
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:13.199
I've seen it on toast and that's cute. Okay, I've

655
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.440
seen it on Bible cover, Bible holder things. All right,

656
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:24.880
all things work together for good. There's one but basically

657
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.480
that's Romans eight and twenty eight. This is what they're referring.

658
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:31.199
They say, and we know that in all things God

659
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:35.920
works for the good of those who love Him, who

660
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:44.199
have been called according to His purpose repurpose. Okay, so

661
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:47.119
you know, we get it. But and it sounds good.

662
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.800
And then see God moves in mysterious ways. Again, that's

663
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.119
when I never I never thought it was a scripture.

664
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.320
I just thought that was a saying that the older

665
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.800
people used to tell us God. You know, oh, Auntie,

666
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:02.920
I don't know what God moves in mysterious ways. And

667
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.760
you walk away like, what is that supposed to be?

668
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:09.159
God is mysterious now? But he does move, and they

669
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:12.280
use the scripture Isaiah fifty five and eight for my

670
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.199
thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways. My ways,

671
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:20.280
declares the Lord. Because there'll be times gone. Go say,

672
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.119
you know what, let me get this straight, just like tonight.

673
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:25.960
Let's set this record straight. What you're thinking is not

674
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:29.320
what I'm thinking. I'm opening this door for another reason.

675
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:31.840
You think it's for this reason so you can make friends.

676
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:34.079
I didn't tell you to go make friends over there.

677
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.239
You begging, you, telling me you need a job. So

678
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.360
I opened the door for you to get two jobs.

679
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:42.519
You're not going there to make friends. You going there

680
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.000
so you can pay your bills because you can't borrow

681
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.119
from nobody. I just brought that up the other day.

682
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:51.159
I was sharing that with either one of the kids

683
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.079
or somebody, and maybe one of my spiritual daughters, and

684
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:54.639
I was saying, you know what, I had to go

685
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:58.000
my husband and not my second husband and I separated. Well,

686
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:02.360
child support is not an income, that's another income. I

687
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:04.320
have to go make some money. And even though I

688
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.320
was doing my acting, my voice acting and performing and

689
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.559
doing my consultant work and had my office, it wasn't

690
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.519
it wasn't enough. So I asked God. I said God,

691
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:14.840
I got to get a job. And you all know

692
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:16.760
the story. This is a testimony. I've said on this

693
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.480
on the air before, and I said, God, I need

694
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:23.440
a job where the first paycheck after taxes, I have

695
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:26.400
to bring home over fifteen hundred dollars and at least

696
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:30.760
fifty cent or some change. Because my condo rent was

697
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:33.880
eight point fifty and I was driving the Armada Nissan

698
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:39.519
and Armada and that car payment was six fifty. So

699
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:42.079
I need to make over fifteen hundred on the first

700
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:46.119
paycheck after taxes. I worked thirty five hours a week.

701
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:48.559
I know this is going to include a weekend. Had

702
00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:50.400
no idea it was gonna end up at a hospital.

703
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:54.360
I just gave God the specifics, my strategy, the specifics

704
00:45:54.360 --> 00:46:00.000
for me. And guess what. And I got thirty five

705
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.840
five hours and I'm not here to make friends. I

706
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:04.920
need to work. And I know one weekend out of

707
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:09.119
the month I have to work the weekend. First year

708
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:13.559
I was working at the hospital, I got a certificate. What, congratulations,

709
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:15.159
You've been with us a year? I said, I've been

710
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:17.559
with y'all a year. It just went by because I

711
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:20.840
was clocking in, doing my work, clocking out, going home

712
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:28.280
and making sure I'm paying my bills. Second year coworkers say, hey,

713
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:30.199
we should were going out Friday. I said, no, I'm

714
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:33.440
not here to go out. And one came to me,

715
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:35.000
she goes, let me pull you aside. I think, I

716
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.800
don't think you understand. You know, we just they're all single,

717
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.000
older women, and I don't think you understand. You know,

718
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:44.400
people are asking you know you're making us laughing. I said,

719
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:46.320
but I'm not here to make you laugh. What you

720
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:49.079
have failed to realize. I told you why I was here.

721
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:51.280
I needed job so I could take care of my children.

722
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.599
But I'm separated from their father. We're heading for a

723
00:46:54.639 --> 00:47:00.159
divorce possibly, and child support is not an income. I

724
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.079
don't mean the sound rude. See I told you about

725
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:04.920
that ten percent flash. I don't mean the sound rude.

726
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.280
So and so. But since y'all find me so appealing

727
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.079
and you got to talk about me, then now get

728
00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:14.280
to know me. And I mean this. I wouldn't eat

729
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.760
lunch with them. It was another personal I needed my

730
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:20.159
time to collect my thoughts and so I could be

731
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:24.639
better for the next half of the shift because I

732
00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:27.760
was a discharge discharge planning at the hospital. Okay, pride

733
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:33.360
comes before the fall kinda kinda. If we go to

734
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:39.119
Proverbs sixteen and eighteen, pride goes before destruction, a hearty

735
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:45.440
spirit before a fall. Okay, so I went, that'sk. Did

736
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:48.000
you ever go to lunch with them at the first time, Charles?

737
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:49.360
You know, because I didn't know. I mean, I only

738
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:51.440
had a thirty minute break and I had to just cant.

739
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:54.400
I was trailing shadowing them. And when I was shadowing

740
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.000
them for the week of orientation, anytime they went to lunch,

741
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:58.719
I went to lunch. And then all of them would

742
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:00.639
come and say, Hey, tell us about just nothing. You

743
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.840
need to know, nothing you need that. I'm very boring,

744
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:06.079
but you're so funny. Yep, that's that's the gift. That's

745
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:07.840
the gift. I can make you laugh, but I also

746
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.679
make you bad with me. Oh, thirty minutes, gotta go,

747
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.840
let's go. And and that wasn't mean. And they still

748
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:16.400
liked me, and they were surprised when I left the

749
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:19.400
hospital and I, you know, resign and retired and I

750
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.800
call it retirement. Just two years. That's all I needed.

751
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.639
That's all I needed. So when God tells you and

752
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:29.159
I got to know, we got two minutes. I'm sorry, guys, No,

753
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.559
I'm not sorry. He told me to do this. When

754
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:33.760
God tells you to do certainly when you ask him,

755
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.679
you cannot tell him how you want this blessing. You

756
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:40.559
cannot tell him how you want these thirty five hours

757
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:42.800
and where you want. I don't want to You can

758
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:44.639
maybe telling me the way you don't want to work.

759
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:46.920
I don't want to work in parks of recreation. I

760
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:49.199
don't want to be out there to heat. So could

761
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.480
I have an inside job? Okay, I'll walk, I'll put

762
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.039
the trash away. I had to. I had to get

763
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:57.360
a quick job one year because the old IR S

764
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:59.960
it was from a student student loans. But I'll work

765
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:02.159
study in the college. They didn't tell me. I had

766
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:05.199
to put that on my income tax, so IRS came

767
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:07.320
for me. Well, all the jobs I was doing and

768
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.639
going to school full time. Okay, let me go work

769
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:12.880
at lane Brian, I told the supervisor. Told the manager,

770
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:15.599
I'm not here for a new career. I need to

771
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:17.360
work this job and I'm not gonna be here long.

772
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:19.880
And number three, I don't want to work know the register.

773
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.880
I'm not here for that. She didn't believe me. I

774
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.800
just five minutes to nine, I'm vacuu in the store.

775
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:27.559
I don't care if it was full. I'm back with

776
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.039
I'm making sure all the stalls are clean. Of the

777
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.599
racks behind the register was clean. And I was like,

778
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.840
I go to a pluck out. I'm done. I didn't

779
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.639
have to stay there all six months, paid that debt.

780
00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.280
I've done, and I didn't even look at Lane Bryan anymore.

781
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:44.159
There are times he's gonna tell you he's answering your prayers,

782
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:45.880
and most of the time you don't know that he is.

783
00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:51.199
He's really answering your prayers. You just don't like the

784
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:51.960
way it's coming.

785
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:52.280
You don't.

786
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.920
You're like, God, you certainly no, not that, But you

787
00:49:56.039 --> 00:50:03.559
asked for this? Is that a money towel on your chair? Yeah? Yeah,

788
00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:09.159
yes it is. There we go Amazon, There you go

789

790
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.360
you Jesus. All right, so next week we won't be on.

791
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.800
It'll be a repeat. It's Christmas break. We're gonna give

792
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:27.440
our beautiful engineer time off with her family and all

00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.599
that good stuff, and we're gonna take a break too.

794
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:31.400
But it's not gonna be a break because we're still
