Okay, this is a team effort, and I've been with her every step of the way. All the money you don't charge just too. So yeah, I'm going.

4:25 And if you got a little refund check for me, I'll pick it up while i'm there. So and just pet the name out correctly. But Larry, and she's got her menus. She's gonna be doing her soul food dinners and stuff like that over the holiday. Oh yeah, over the holiday. I think we're gonna do some Italian stuff and seafood stuff and all that jazz. So and don't be balking at the price, because a filet of catfish is no joke. Okay, it's no joke. So we're gonna do It'll be nice to you, but enjoy her cooking and her dessert and everything else. We're gonna do things a little differently and we're just gonna hit the ground running. So she's gone through two three weeks out of school.

5:08 We're gonna we're gonna make it happen. Happen. Her handbags are on the getting ready to be on the way. They're getting ready to turn put them on the express trade, so save your little Christmas money. We don't take no no debit cards. It's gonna be cash money orders out. Okay, don't don't be playing anyway. Yep, they'll be on their boy and we're calling it the limited Edition. And I'm just so glad that the company is in in in the States and everything else, and there are more companies, there's more businesses in the United States, and that's part of my prayer that America's businesses come back home. You come back and you land. I don't care how you got here. You just get back here and let's do cars everything else and stop balking and stuff that's going on. Guys, prayers are being answered. You may not like it. It may not be your prayer point, but it's mine. And I know mine goes through this roof, through the powers of Cubolus flowers above, and to the feet of Jesus Christ into the throne room. I know my prayer gets through.

6:12 Can't speak about everybody else, but I know mine do. So that's why I set it. I write the prayers down and I had them on this this topic on my setting It Straight page on Facebook. I shared with a prophet, Uh Shanika. She's it ends with me. She's changed the name of her ministry because it ends with me. But I had to go and I checked my vision board today. So we'll talk about that in a little bit and we're gonna go back to topic. Don't don't think we I'm I don't know what we need to be talking about. Okay, in writing, I know, But I have to tell you these things because you have. I have to tell the goodness of God. And in this one that she's like, you know, the wealth transfer is happening as we speak. It is happening. And for those who believe it, I'm telling you you got to look to God. But what you don't want to make the mistake of is say, oh, it's gonna come from here.

7:07 Oh no, she owes me money. It's got to come from No no, no, no, no, no no no no. You're boxing God. God. You're telling God. If it don't come from here that I can see, then I know I'm not gonna get it. No no, no, no, take that off the this don't even put you. Don't fix your lips to say it. And if you said it, repent now in the name of Jesus. Where our audience at I know y'all out there. Come on, everybody, come on in, come on in. But anyway, no, we're not doing that. You've got to trust God and take the handles off of it. Nowhere in scripture does he say, now, now, you tell me what you need. No, I judge you by your heart. I know what your needs are. I've made you. It's just like being a parent.

7:48 I know my children, and even though they're twenty three years old and thirty years old, thirty one years old, I know my kids. I know my dog. I know you. I didn't create my dog, but I know her. I've Hatterson. She was taken from her mom. She was weaned from her mom. I know you. So please don't don't don't get this twisted. Hey get even eld. The cake to the sea is in the house, Thank you Lord. Amen, So don't take don't do that to God. Don't do that to God. Say whatever you can do. So that's why I want you to watch. Go and look up on my setting it Straight page. If you've not joined it, please feel free to join it. Miss Tray and our administrators over but mainly Tray is she sees you coming in.

8:33 We will admit you in be playing, don't don't be playing. We don't ask for comments in there. If we don't do that, we just want you to see what we're posting. Okay, So Prophet Shanika and I pulled my Today's the eighth, the eighth of the month. Every thirty days, I get to look at my vision board and I get to check off how he's blessed. I had eighty one supernatural miracles, manifestations, healings, unbelievables, eighty one things that I've asked for on that vision board. And yes, you go back and you check, you recheck things off if it happened, if I sold the book, I'm checking that off. Yeah, so you keep going back over it, that's what you do, and you keep counting them.

9:16 But I added the decrease, and there was some neat decrees that she has. And I'm gonna say this briefly and then we're gonna go on to tonight's show topic. But this is what I did. Let's see if that's the first one, fourteen, ten, thirteen, thirteen decrees. Okay, you decree that your lack is over, God's abundance will flow into every area of my life, decree that your hands are trusted to be stored over all that God releases into your life. Now, I see this is where we got to stop for a minute, because I know everybody in twenty twenty, we got all the stimulus money and everything else. Rent was forgiven, rent back, rent was paid, and all that kind of stuff to bring the landlords up to speed up and bring you as well. Well.

10:00 But guess what, how can you expect to be blessed? Well, you don't know how to manage money. The COVID didn't take away the fact that you were behind in your rent, and prior to COVID that you were behind in your rent, and you paid your rent late. You paid your rent when you want to. Sometimes you act like, well, they got money, they got other properties. They don't miss that. No, see that attitude, Your attitude did not some of y'all attitude did not change in twenty twenty. You think somebody owe you something, No, you need to work. You need to work unless you're unable to work. And then you got a whole battery of testing and proof that you have to be able to nail that. Okay, So there are times, I mean, y'all are nice people. I get it.

10:47 You give folks to shirt up your back, but you can't manage money. So how can you expect God to bless you with one hundred thousand dollars annual career and you can't even manage three thousand dollars a month? So if you want to be well, to do well off, however you describe it, you need to go and learn money management. Learn what money is supposed to be like, understand paying bills and not being late. Clean up your credit. There's all kinds of credit repairing stuff, repairing stuff out there. You could talk to these credit bureaus yourself. You could ask them send me a free copy of my credit report, and you challenge what's on there. After so many years that stuff supposed to roll off. Guess what, there's just probably a few people that do that, So you got to remind them you don't even do that. So no, no, God's not gonna know. And those of you, you know, I'm not talking to our faithful for you and nor my co hosts here, but there's some of y'all out there that old people money and you act like, you know, why pay it when I get ready? Oh okay, but see, you think you're hurting me, You're not hurting me. Kiss who's checking the list? And more than checking it twice, because God don't check it twice, unlike Sala Claus. God don't check it twice once He look and you're not being You're not in a compliance. You're erased. It's erased.

12:08 He still love you, but he can't bless you. So let's go back to the degrees. That my hands be trusted to be to steward all that God releases into my life. I decree that I'm surrounded by those who bless, uplift and support me. That's a whole two shows right there. Because there are people who don't support you. They just in't your life to be nosy, They ain't your life to be messy. Some of them are monitoring spirits. The devil set them to keep you off course. And I'm gonna give you one clue as to who those people could be. The ones say well you know what, so Trey, what you doing now? What are you working at now? Well, I'm still working with it. You're still working with the community.

12:51 What's advocacy? What kind of money you make it? There? You go, don't even talk to that's could be at bel, but you don't talk to it. I'mbel did you get that peacn pie? Is it? Ready to just just take her off? Just don't because she don't support you. She never did for some reason, she don't like you. I've shared the story with you when I was adopted and my dad's twin sister was Jehovah witness now, but they had their little gin and tonic parties. She would come and every time she thought the spare room was hers, and then she came one day. I guess she didn't hear my dad tell her we got a baby. She come in in the cribb it's all the nursery. She said, well, who is that? And she's hated me ever since. She's gone now and she's the last to go, meanest person in the world, last to go anyway. Okay, here we go.

13:35 All right, let's see say that I'm surrounded by those who bless, bless uplift me and support me. All leeches decree and these are declarations you're saying out of your mouth. You're saying, I decree and declare that all leeches are removed. I decree that every plan of the enemy. To drain me, to distract me, or to destroy me is null and voided. No, and boy, you've heard the scripture. The kingdom suffereth violence, and the violence takes it by force. This is by force. This is what this means. This is how we pray. Now, so you leach it off of me, you drop off and you now you know, I know this is gonna shock a lot of y'all, but I'm a prayer warrior.

14:18 I'm just gonna give you that hint. You don't need to live, my enemies, you don't need to live. I'm gonna say it right there. I know I've shocked everybody. Misty, if you're driving, please just pull over for a minute. And don't want you to, you know, go off the run off the side of the road. They just pull off. They want to shock you there. Anyway. I decree that riches, health, peace, and divine strength of my inheritance. And I also added riches and wealth second Chronicles, Chapter one. That's conversation between Solomon and God riches and wealth. So again, I decree that riches, health, peace, wealth, and divine strength are my inheritance.

15:01 I decree that God's favor opens doors that no man can shut, and opportunities flow to me like a river. Not my education, not my last name, not who I know in government, none of that. Know that God, God's favor opens doors and shut them that needs to be shut, and keep them closed so that no man, that scripture, no man can open them. Okay, I that opportunities flow to me like a river. I can't tell you how many times this this past week and a half. Last week, I turned down being a grant writer, and I already retired from working with the Department of Probation and Correction.

15:44 And I got three calls. Already, You ain't nobody called me all year, just as I'm retiring. Then I get three calls and I have to tell them, let you don't have the new list out yet, but I've retired. They're like, well, can you tell me what you would have charged? I said, I'm still the cheapest intent. And I thought about it for a brief minute, and I said, naw, I'm good. I'm not going back. I decree that I walk in wisdom, discernment, and alignment with my kingdom assignment. I decreed that I will not forget God's abundance, and that my heart remains grateful and humble and steadfast. Now you know, people go and they play the lottery. Me and let me get into somebody's mailbox for a minute.

16:26 They go and play the lottery. You just gotta be real. I played it one time with one of my spiritual daughters, and I felt so guilty doing it. But it was like a trillion dollars. And I'm like, you know what, what God forgive me. I'm gonna ask for forgive this on the front end. I'm gonna ask for forgive this on the backhead. They had the. Nervous say, okay, what numbers would I play? You know, I don't know how to do this stuff. I mean, I'm standing in the store with the little pencil like, okay, what do I do? Now? What do I do? And if you know? And I'm like, and people do win it. They win the one hundred dollars, forty dollars and stuff, and they go quickly and spend it whatever it needs to be applied to. But that's not that's not what folks who are wealthy and will all do because their bills already paid, they look to debt.

17:14 They handle debt differently than we do than those of us who are living paycheck to paycheck. They handled it. Talk to look at rich dad, poor dad. Read that book again. You know, listen, look, I know we don't like Elon Musk, we don't like Warren Buffett, we don't like Bill Gates. But check out some of their comments, the way they look at money and how they save, and what books they read. Steve Harvey had to jump in that pool and say, oh my God, I need the reading six books a month on how to handle things. Okay, I decree that that what God has prepared for me manifestfully, and his perfect timing and his perfect timing. And we talked about that before. There's a timing to God. It's not going to happen when you wanted to do and when you feel you need it. He may not come when you want to, but He is always on time.

18:06 That's a song, and that's scripture. He said, don't worry, I'm coming, And there's scriptures in the Old Testament. Whether the angel was caught up because the demons tried to was stopping him to deliver the prayer request, it's in the word and that's real. Then that was not gonna let it just flow. He's gonna he's watching because he's flying to and fro to see who he can mess with. And his workers of iniquity are doing the same thing. Okay, uh, perfect timing and uh and glory to his mighty name. It's ten of them. And I went and I added glass, you know, after I checked off mine, I added these ten prayer points, these declarations to my prayer list, my prayer point, my vision board. And I was just I felt so like a little kid, like ooh, I know God's get rid of the bless I know He's getting rid of the blessed. And then I got some text messages and some confirmation stuff didn't expect, and I was like, whoah, God, you already doing it. You're already doing it. Let me take care of your people. Let me take care of that which I'm ordained to take care of. Let me say this prayer, let me make this phone call, let me do this, let me sing a new song to you.

19:13 I know you got my back. I know you know what I need and I know you know when I need it. So I'm gonna just trust you and step out the way. And that's what many people need to be doing. You need to get out of his way. And we've said this before him, We'll see it again. You need to get out of God's way. Anybody got anything to say? While I find this email? You forgot to pray, but that's it. Can you lead us leap? Please? What? Okay? Sure? Lord? I just think you love for this day and allowing us to gather here. I just pray that you bless those who are tuned in Father God, and wherever they are in life, I pray that you meet them their Lord and that and continue to be better people through you, Lord, and allow you to guide us and allow you to be the main person of our lives and a priority in.

20:03 Our lives as well. Lord, I just think you got for all that you do for us. She's the same. It's okay for y'all to check me now, It's okay for y'all to check me. Okay, what I'm weird? What did you say? Eager? I just had to get it out. I just had to get it out. You know, it's just a God is just a wonderment, and I had to get it out. I had to get it. Thank you, But please check me. You know we're not going We got to get. It's all on him, It's all for him.

20:46 This is only on God. And there's nothing more I can say to prove that the wisdom and the and and the proof is in the pudding. That's all I say. And I'm just thankful to God. And our lifestyle shows where we're where we are. We're just as human as everybody else. I'm just ten percent. But anyway, you know, it's everywhere and have you don't ever had things in your mind? You're trying to get thoughts out of your mind, and it's like I don't want to think about that. I don't want to think about that. I don't want to think about that. I mean, the devil is like, okay, we can't mess with anything else of her this, I gotta go after her mind, and the flesh just complies, like, oh yeah, she needs to think about that person, she needs to think about this. No, I don't because if I keep thinking and then I'm gonna start talking out loud, and then I'm gonna conjure the person. Back up. I don't want these people in my life. We got the prophetic warning last week. One of the prophets I say, they're gonna try to come back into your life. They're gonna try to come back, and you gotta be careful.

21:47 Didn't see that was just she snuck right on in. I say what am? I snuck right on in and and told no facad no play clothes, no no makeup, no, no camouflage, just came right in as is, and I'm like, ah, what was I thinking? So yes, even the very best of us. The scripture said even God's elect may be fooled, then said we will be. He said we may be fooled as well. So you've got to stay, keep your head on a swivel. You've got to watch and pray. Everybody's missing God's God's really, it doesn't matter who he's using.

22:29 He's clearing up some things, he's making ways out of no way, he's changing laws. You don't understand that. You listen, you know you just want a bicker. You just want a bicker, and your bickering is getting nowhere. You just have a forty year journey that normally would have taken eleven days. You're gonna go back to what our ancestors did in the Old Testament. You're gonna just keep walking that same path, drawing those say tempting those in encouraging those same temptations, the lust, everything else. You gonna still walk in the same beat this time next year, because it's not gonna do it. Prayer changes things, not your behavior, not your opinion, not your commentary, not your unforgiveness, not that.

23:10 No prayer changes the thing. And it's a proof in the putting. That's all like an eighty one manifestation in the last thirty one thirty days. Eighty one things God did for me. I didn't even ask. It's on my bingeon board. Write it down, make it plain. So I'm mina say no comments. Guys, come on trail, you got something to say. Somebody gotta say something, so you say say something, say something. I mean, I was taking it all then, but it was just I gotta get watch how I choose my words on this walk. So it wasn't ironic, you know. Actually I was listening to a summer similar to what you're talking about right now, about people and in your group that you're hanging with, and those that want to help me grow and those that just want to pull and tug from you. So and this is just like right on time. So I won't say the incidence, like I used to say before, but it's you know, it's you know, God is showing different things.

24:17 And you know I heard it this morning. Now I'm hearing it's the same thing that we're talking about this evening. But also I was kind of let to say something and I know you had a comment for this morning. I mean the show about my parents, which I appreciate it, I really do, but with. This and I just want to be transparent here with with the audience again that this is not my typical favorite time of year, and for any anyone that going through something or you know this, if you're feeling a certain way. You know, sometimes I used to give my clients or work to, you know, get them to rate on a scale of one to ten. One not feeling good at all, Ten you're great, give me a number, and they would give me a number. I said, Okay, what would you need what would.

25:07 It need to happen for it to be like one point higher? And our declined, say put on some listen, Okay, let's get to put if that's going to make you feel better. So right now, you know, there's there's a lot of. Different spirits floating around the spirit of depression, anxiety, fear, you know, loneliness, it's a lot of that. But have to fight through it. You have to try to find a way to fight through it and find a way that's going to make me feel better. You know, if it's putting on the brightest cellar like today, I said, Okay, you know. What, let me just put this on it. So Monday morning, now that it was a bad day, it was a trying day. It really was a trying day. My facial expression didn't look like this from what my coworkers were telling me, if they looked like you were upset. But I wasn't mad, they said mad. Really, I was not mad. I was just disappoint It's frustrated anytime you work in a human service field, people are going to do that to you.

26:06 But I also was preoccupied because there was a lot going on that I had to handle that we had to handle that work today, and so you know, just I look forward to this, this is my Monday nights. I look forward to that. Then some other things that I do during the week, I look forward to that. And there's all spirituals, all God's work, it's all that type. You didn't even know the job is God's work, but still is the atmosphere not from all times godless, and. So fighting through people's stuff. You know, people got stuff going on and fighting through. That, they're mad. You know, I regard my heart against not. Only the stuff that I'm going through, but their stuff, and trying to watch what I say and how are I word things because I don't want to offend anybody.

26:50 Don't know where people are right now, and so that that's kind of like a struggle. So you know, I was led to kind of say that because I want people to know things. Are gonna be okay. And it is trying, and it's cold up here, and like I said, it was flurries last couple of days, you know, on and off, and it's very cold, and that's kind of opposite of what I like. I like how to like a longer days. I like sunshine. That's my better atmosphere. But since I don't, I have to make the best of what I have and find ways it's going to make me happy, smile, putting, you know, helping out other people that are more vulnerable than me. Advocating for them. So just you know, just fight through and trust out, just fighting on truck out.

27:35 Amen. Amen, and thank you for sharing that. And I need to do something. I checked. I took a look at the comments, which you're very negative and very nasty, and it's not for my regular folks, and I rebuke you. You may get away with doing that on other podcasts and other comments, but I rebuke you. In the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against such shall prosper. And you're not bringing your nat steak nests here, So you're done. You're not bothering me, you're bothering God. So God, I give that these two people to whoever said this stuff to you. Do what you do best, do what you do best. We're not that, we're not setting link for that, and you're not going to do that here. Thank you anyway.

28:23 And I'm going to shift to tonight topic, which is the Nationally Impaired Driving Prevention Month. And to be honest with you, I really thought it was talking about people who are impaired, but they're talking more about people not being sober and they're getting behind the wheel of the car, which is a flying projectile. It's a moving target type of thing, you know. So, but I want to take it even further when you are older, or when let's say your eyesight is impaired or your hearing is impaired, you've got to diagnosis. You've got you're probably taking eye drops and all that kind of stuff. You really need to take heed on what you're doing, because you're putting not only your life in danger, but you're putting everybody else around you lives in danger, even the pedestrians. Over the past few years, Orlando has had this huge increase of pedestrians being hit and killed. How you can't see people and you I mean, but you're they're driving, They're doing sixty seventy miles an hour in a thirty five and a forty and they can't stop. They can't and they're hitting runs, so you know, and it's hard. And I was talking about, you know, this is the hard truth when you're not able to do something, when you're not able to keep up, you know, I felt bad.

29:47 We were doing the training with our dog, and thank god I have, you know, my daughter there. She took the lead. I changed my name to make her team lead number one, hand little number one. I had Donald beheadling number two and I stepped back, even though she's my support animal. And you know, I got fussed at a little bit, like you need to be doing. But I couldn't keep up with the pack. I couldn't keep up with the group. And this is just regular walking because I have to look down and I make sure that the you know, the street, the pavement is straight, and if it's not, I'm going down. And I'm not going to go back to the hospital. I'm not going back through that. I rebuked that in the name of Jesus. I'm not so my daughter. You know, my kids had to take the lead in many cases for the bulk of the training, you know, but you have to realize what you can and cannot do, not being lazy. I'm not talking about procrastinators. I'm not talking I'm talking about when you realize, you know what, I'm not able to do this anymore. I can't. I'm not able to climb.

30:44 I used to love I always want to have a two story house. I love having the stairs in the house. But before this happened to me, ironically the house of I was like, you know what I'm gonna I want the one story. And the last house we moved into before we got this one, it was a one story and it was wide and it was you know, just long and everything, and I'm like, I like this. It was facious enough. But I used to. I mean, my kids grew up with knowing we're gonna have a two story house. There was no doubt about it. We were gonna have one. But it went away and had no idea. Because I changed my mind, I would be ready for what was gonna happen to me in year number eight of staying at that other house had no idea, and even the hospital folks had to come out and make sure my house, the house was convenient enough, was conducive enough for me to be able to get a wheelchair in.

31:44 I had a hubb around. I had, I mean they did. They came in and looked like because they were gonna say that if we didn't think that house was suitable, we were gonna help you move. You don't have to get something, you couldn't stay there. And thank god, they were like, yeah, you got it. You're on a hell but you know you do it pretty. You know you're gonna do good. So and thank god. I love my home. It's it's you know, it's open space, it's spacious, one story. I love it. And this is what even my next dream home will be that I'll be building will be one story, but it's gonna be all and wide, and the driveway way out two row, two streets long, and everything else I can see who coming anyway. Yeah, so you've got to be able. I thought about this. I was thinking about this throughout the day. You know, looking at my situation, you know, you just there just comes a time that you've really got to assess yourself. If you're there are no changes that you can make. You're you're not able to walk long distances and stuff like that, or go upstairs and without your knees going out and stuff like that.

32:49 You need to go check your knee caps because they do leave. They leave us sooner than you think. They become brittle and everything else. And it's bone on bone and I heard that subscruciating bang. By the time you realize it, you know, you don't have any cartilage. You got to be real with yourself. You go to the dentist. You ain't been to the dentist in two years. You could go to the dentist. They're gonna tell you, oh, you got a whole lot of cavities. Oh my God, you're a namual is weakening and then lessening and thinning and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, well, you didn't take care of yourself. You didn't have the job that anymore. They provided all those benefits where you could go, g have your teeth, you know, check there twice a year.

33:30 You gotta be honest with yourself. And that's all I could think about today was, you know, this is about honesty. You know, am I impaired. You don't know how many families I had of aging folks who were the head head, you know, person or primary person in charge. I had to let them know, you know, you're gonna have to take the keys. I had to unplug my store. My mom was a smoker, even despite her Alzheimer's, and she couldn't find anything. I don't know how she would find a cigarette. Next thing, I know, she's cutting on this. We didn't have those gas burners. We had a flat top, and I'm like, and I wouldn't say anything because of the agitator, so I just do. I had to unplug the stove when I left home and come back at lunchtime plug it back up, fixing some lunch because nobody would help me to watch her, and then I had no choice. I had no choice. I had no choice.

34:21 Because of safety reasons, I had to place her. I had no choice. It was more danger dangerous for her to stay at home by herself. Nobody would help me. My neighbors, who are all up in age themselves, are like, oh no, we've never They ain't seen it up close and personal. And then all of them have suffered from it since then. So you know, I had to make a choice. But she lighting up the stove and I'm like, oh my god, Jesus, you know I had to unplug the telephone. You know, there's things that you have to the decisions at times you just you gotta just check it and say, you know what, when does it come down to. It's not about pride anymore. It's not about, you know, showing off of the neighbors or trying to get with the neighbor. It's not about that. And it's not even about pleasing somebody in the family. You don't like the way I do something. When you step in, you take over, you do better, and you don't. We don't want to be all you don't want your time messed up and interrupted, so don't judge me because I have to look at this. I'm a social worker. Trade you understand this. I'm in. That's our goal is to keep families together. Our goal, that's our ethical cold, that's our mandate. If we could keep you together, we're gonna keep you together. As long as nobody's getting hurt, nobody's not endangered, we're gonna keep you together. You can cuss

35:51 each other out of you as ll as you don't cut each other. We're gonna keep you in that house together. That's our that's our model we meet. Our main decree is we meet you where you're at. That's a main decree. Our stitument is we keep everybody together. We unify you, even though we may not like it, but sometimes you're all you had and the heartiest thing in my life. Despite all that I've gone through everything, I'm burying parents, getting a divorce, of the first marriage, about the divorce or second, having a husband, just go ahead and die just I mean, the worst thing, the worst thing, and it took me years to forgive myself. I had to place her because it was no longer safe. I could not leave her a home and I could not go to work. And I'm all thinking about what am I gonna go home and find when I go to lunch.

36:44 When I go home for lunch and let me get off at five o'clock, I could get home. I had no choice. And now because I honored my parents, my days are gonna be long. That's a commandment. But like I said that, there were thousands of famis that I had to tell them. You're gonna have to take the keys, You're gonna have to change the locks. You're gonna have to talk to that brother or that sister that you're not talking to, you haven't talked to in fifteen years. Because they knew this, They saw this coming, and they left home. You've got to you got to get help. And now I don't even know what resources are available in the community anymore. I'm gonna be calling a couple of mayors, the mayors, Yeah, a couple of them, maybe before the holiday, and see what's left? Where do we go now? Where do we tell people to go for help?

37:35 So again, when I saw this the national impaired again, I thought, it's not dealing with just you know, being sober or under the influence. People are bathing now, Yes, bone on bone hurts. This is good. Oh, thank your eld K. Yeah, I you know this baping thing and everybody that's that's not just smoke, that's something in there. And people are laciness thing too, even even even you know, in the regular world. However, you get it through the displa lacing stuff making you go crazy, making you want to take your life, making you see things that are not there. Why are you doing that? That's not helping you because you got to buy it. You got I don't care if you grow. You still got to buy stuff to make it grow, and devices and stuff. And you're you're under the influence. I don't care. Even the very best of y'all, you're under the influence. And I don't need you driving alongside me. I'm trying to get now.

38:37 I got to go back to leave it four day in the morning to go run my errands when the roads are clear, because I mean, you're just drag racing and you got those those nuts out there doing that mess. Then I've got my seniors who are driving around with the disabled placard hanging from their mirror when it says do not drive with this. It's on the card on the placard. You need to read it. Do not drive with this hanging off your mirror. You're supposed to take it off, and then when you park, that's when you put it on there. And then I saw this lady once again getting out the car. Ain't nothing wrong with her.

39:18 I can't see it, but you that's how that's your mother or your aunt or your grandfather or whoever you transport. That's their placard. And you're gonna you know, you're gonna park your able body. You could go do and park where you need to park, and you don't, and you make me have to circle the pracket lot to find a parking space. The thing says do not drive with this decal on your mirror. It says it on there. It's in blue and white, and you totally disregard it because all of y'all just and you're right on my tail.

40:04 You can barely see you leading up on the and my kids have mind, you know, they can't hear you. Right, Yes, I know the wrongs which is us, and there's nothing they can do because they gonna roll up for me anyway. So now I got to leave earlier so I could try to think that I'm safe, go ahead. So I'm just gonna say about caraman as well. Your mood. You know, if you're angry, that is, you know, causes you to impulse of driving. So if something is making you angry before you get in that car, say your prayer, relax, moosaw whatever, whatever, just get yourself together, because traffic can make you upset. People driving certain I know, make you upset.

41:03 But I remember years ago when they're talking about if you have the light, if you missed the light, okay, it might be God will say, okay, I don't want you don't need to go to this light right now, or find something else that it could take your mind off of being stuck in traffic. You know, something else, medicate or listen to some good music or something like that, because. I know it's trying time. They were trying before, but they really are trying times right now. And folks, you need to just kind of take keys to what's going on and try to make sure that they. Cautious, you know, very very cautious, because you don't want to do anything that would harm someone else while you're driving.

41:50 And so. If you haven't gotten it by now, I don't know what to say, and it's not thank you trade for saying. And you know the world is aspiring right now and there is only those who really believe in God. And we're holding on with studying his word to encourage us to give us hope. I'm not looking at man to give me hope. I'm looking at God's word and what he has promised to give me hope. I am praying, hoping that God hears my prayers. I am. I'm studying, I'm singing a new song. I'm keeping gospel music playing throughout the house because I need to hear something that could take my mind off of crazy stuff. You're not the only ones out there. You got to do whatever it takes. And people are angry. People are talking to themselves, people are bumping you don't even they don't even see you.

42:52 People blowing their horning and life just turn green. And I got three cards in front of me where you think I'm going. People are just unsettled getting bad news. The lady had that she was out and she's well, I didn't say that. I didn't say that. Why are you taking it? And I'm like you in front of marshals and I can't help, but assess what you're saying. Because I'm listening to I can hear it. Then I went somewhere else and somebody talking about the co worker. I'm like, oh God, let me. I don't want to I don't want to be around it. This is not the time to judge. This is not the time to judge. It's not the time to point fingers and point out fault.

43:35 And if it wasn't for you, no, because it's not gonna get any better out here with your naked eyes seeing and your naked ears hearing, it's not gonna get better. Right now, some of us are calm because we already know about the storm. We already know, we already have everything we need for the emotional and and and and and the finance and the economical storms that are brewing. So that's why I can we can sit and say, you know, you gotta you gotta catch this, and you gotta get it right, and you gotta work it out for your family. What's gonna be good, what's gonna be safe? You gotta do it. You gotta take care of yourself.

44:18 We can't say it anymore. We can't, and we're not gonna be here. Forever and I thank you. Go ahead add on to the like melancholy because sometimes you know, I used to do it years ago, getting a funk and listen and have these sad songs. No what what what I've learned to teach people that I work with as well, find some something funny, no, when to say when, No, when you've had enough and you need to step away from it. We look at it and then step back into whatever the stuff is. But try to. And I know it's hard.

44:58 I know it's very hard, and. My transparency, I'm telling you just looking at different things. So I intentionally don't stay on the news for a long time. I'll look at us okay now and I flipped to see what another station is saying. And said, well, where'd they get that from? I don't see that. So you have to weigh it. Find something commony, turn turn it on, having music, something that's gonna make you get up and dance. You know, I don't know videos. I love skating, so I'll try. I follow a lot of skating videos. So you know, just things are just gonna uplift me. But you gotta find a way that's gonna uplift yourself as well, and it's a lot of things that can impair us, especially while driving that's a car.

45:46 It can do damage not only to yourself but to other people. So just try to be mindful and if you know, reach out, maybe develop a circle of support of people that you know that you can reach out to, uh at a drop of a you know, a diamond if you're going through something. And I, like I said, being transferred again a few years ago, crossing bridges became struggle a challenge for me. Bridges and water across bodies of water, and in Virginia their bodies of water, and so it got to the point like I was like. Nervously shakings, So what is this? I've remember what is that? And so I had stopped doing that for a while by myself, but then once I graduated, I mean gradually, I would call somebody if I had to, because I worked on I had worked across water to get to my clients. So I would call a friend and say, hey, I'm getting there, talking to you good. Yeah, that can't take my mind off of it. Once I gots okay, I'll cross it.

46:45 And I would do that coming back home. So just find something that's going to help me through that whatever that is, that's that's just my thing. You know, I'm pretty sure everybody has stuff going on. I just want to add although you know, I agree with all that you guys are saying as far as like whom missus Grave was mentioning about, you know, safety and stuff. I think it's just very important for people to get their kids into something active self defense. There's a lot of trafficking going on and they're being very loud about it now. They don't care about being secretive about trafficking. And again, the internet is free, so teaching you, okay, how to box, teaching them how to defend themselves, even yourselves. Like, I feel like everyone should take a self defense class, matter if you're a woman or man.

47:30 It is kind of going based off of last week. God led that conversation last week, but we're supposed to go into self defense. But I just want to add that in because it's becoming not safe. Like I had to call one of my people today because a man just kept staring at me oddly, and I'm like, I'm always on my p's and q's, Like, you have to be aware you're surrounded, you have to be aware of who's around you. Even in the store. I know who's on that al I just passed, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's how you want to be, not paranoid, but away. You need to be aware. It's very important at a gas station, whether you go outside, do your errands alone, whatever. Case may be, you need to be aware of your surroundings.

48:10 Like I was a little skeptical, that skeptical of the man, and I made sure I have my people on speed now just in case because we were not doing that today. Thank you. But God is our almighty provider, He's our almighty protector. Again, you need to pray about your plans of what you plan to do or what you want to do, and be sure it's okay to do prior to doing it. Like if you give you if you feel in I don't think you need to be doing it, that should just tell you you shouldn't be doing it. But if all, if you don't get no warning or anything like that, then you straight. But just going to God about that because it's just very important in these times right now.

48:51 It really doesn't matter if. You're a woman or male, right amen, And don't matter the age either, It don't matter the. Age yea, and when you made it to your destination, I could check the buance. Yeah, yeah, I know my kids could you know they really? I'm like, no, you're supposed to text me when you land. You're supposed to text me when you get there, and what address you're going through? You know? Where is this at now? Which one? Oh? Okay? You know? And I'm sitting here like, Lord, send my and I will send my angels quick. Go find them, go be with them, even though their angels have been released. But anyway, our time is up. Guys. I tell you we could go at that, and you know, ms kay, remind me next week. You know, we could talk some more about self defense. Bring me into that. Remind me you take you could take the lead even if you have to, Okay, after we pray. But anyway, we thank you guys. We're gonna see you next week, same time. We're praying for you, same station. Night night. Great job, guys, great job.

50:00 Because because pass Spo
