a liar and we're gonna pray,
and we're gonna pray it through Father God

17

thank you for the opportunity that we are

19
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.560
allowed to raise up and catch another
breath. This morning we were able some

20
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.560
of us went to work today.
You allowed us to get to where we

21
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.000
need to go safely and also to
return back to our place of rest.

22
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.960
We thank you, Father God for
all the folks that we interacted with and

23
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.800
we touched and we interacted and we
hopefully made a betterment for their livelihood and

24
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.879
gave them a word of encouragement or
either a smile. We've just forever giving

25
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.520
you the praise and the glory.
Now, Lord, as always, we

26
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.400
get behind the cross. This is
your show where your daughters. We love

27
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.199
you so much. You do what
you do best, God, and that's

28
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.080
many things, but one of the
biggest things you do is set the captives

29
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.080
free. In the name of Jesus, we pray a man and a man

30
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.120
Amen, Amen. Amen. Well
tonight it's gonna be a couple of things.

31
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.800
And the devil's messing with me,
so I thought he you know,

32
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.400
he knew better just to you don't
try me. You just don't try me.

33
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.319
But that's okay. Hey, I
got you. That's okay. I

34
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.879
got you, devil, and that's
fine. You think you're doing more to

35
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.520
hurt me or to hinder me,
and we don't stop the show. I'll

36
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.639
get on Facebook in a minute and
be a part of the audience. We

37
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.960
do what we do, We do
what we do in Jesus' name. Well,

38
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.599
I'm just glad that everybody's doing well
and everybody is healthier, wealthier,

39
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.080
and wise, and we're gonna talk
a little bit about that. But before

40
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.639
I do that, God's got a
challenge. And the ladies don't know anything

41
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.479
about this because it just came up
to my attention. He just brought it

42
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.879
to my attention the last few days. And the challenge is for his remnant.

43
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.560
Within the remnant, his people,
those who say they know and love

44
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:51.479
the Lord, they know and love
Jesus. They got their mind made up

45
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:57.400
to serve the Lord, and they
worship and know the value and the works

46
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.280
of the Holy Goos. None of
that pertains You can't, you know,

47
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.520
relate to any what I just said. I'm not talking to you. I'm

48
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.919
talking to the other people. Amen, that's gonna listen to this later on

49
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.960
this month. And I'm excited about
it because God said, you know,

50
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.680
you know how we've been talking about. You know, we're not Poverty is

51
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.240
not going away, divorce is not
going away. All the societal ills are

52
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.519
not going away. Okay, they're
not going away, but we can put

53
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.519
a serious dent in it. And
God said, now we're gonna put your

54
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.000
foot where your mouth is. We're
gonna put the food where your mouth is.

55
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.279
We're gonna put your money where your
mouth is. And here we go.

56
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:43.480
The challenge is for us for this
entire month. Now. Last month

57
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.639
we were talking about World Hunger Day
and things like that. We didn't get

58
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.399
to it. In the end between
he's the apple and the omega. He's

59
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.920
the beginning and the end. But
as I say, he does very well

60
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.199
with the end between. Amen.
So what he he wants his people to

61
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:09.959
do, including me, is to
feed three people this month, three strangers

62
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.759
or uh in Trey's case, it
could be your coworkers. It can be

63
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.319
a cowork But I know you,
I know Tray, Tray gonna anybody she

64
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.800
rub across at the K Mart,
she gonna have a meal or whatever.

65
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.360
Now this is how God is gonna
get created. It could be home cook

66
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.959
food. Now you know you're cooking
a pot of something. He would be

67
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.040
a pop a spaghetti. Put a
piece of bread in there, you know,

68
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.439
try to you know, maybe bacon
a little bit, give a little

69
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.879
hint of garlic. Bread. It's
up to you. Or you could go

70
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:46.240
get gift cards and put ten dollars
on it and give it to three different

71
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.800
people, both a son in the
Holy Spirit. You've got thirty one days

72
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:58.759
to do it, and all you
was actually twenty or thirty thirty Yeah that

73
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.879
was yeah yesterday, you would have
okay today, So not starting tomorrow.

74
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.319
You have the rest of the month, even up until the thirty first,

75
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.839
to do. And I'm not talking
about giving kids a candy on Halloween night.

76
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:18.839
I ain't talking about that. I'm
talking about purposely giving someone food that's

77
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.720
on the street or that you know
is you know, have limited income.

78
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.120
However, you need to see that. But you pray. If I can

79
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.519
encourage you, pray, first,
let God lead you. He'll tell you

80
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.120
where to go and what to do. And then he said to tell them

81
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.600
to stand still and see my salvation. So now if we want to put

82
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.319
a dent, we want to do
anything concerning hunger and homelessness, and as

83
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.959
far as being feeding people. Here
you go and guess what. We have

84
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.759
people that are in the Bahamas that
watch the show. We have people in

85
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.399
New New York that watched the show. We have people in California that watches

86
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.720
the show. We got people in
Florida that watches the show. We've got

87
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.199
people in Boston that watches the show. Okay, so at some point,

88
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:18.439
whoever hears this over the next thirty
days, wherever they are, and should

89
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:25.279
they pick up the challenge. I
even put it on my Christian Biker's page,

90
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.879
so we never know. We're gonna
have some company tonight. Whoever's listening,

91
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.879
wherever you are, just know that
as you carry it out and as

92
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.519
you say a small prayer, you
know I'm not saying go disciple people.

93
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.759
It ain'tbody you know. Oh do
you know the law? No? No,

94
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.759
no, no, no, no
no no. We just get this

95
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.639
straight. Are you hungry? Would
you please allow me to give you a

96
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.560
meal? It's home cook or here's
a gift card and it's too I Hoop,

97
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.959
or it's too Panera bread. I
need you to go there and I

98
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.560
need you to eat. I need
you those sell the card please, I

99
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.800
need you to eat. It's up
to y'all because you can take the same

100
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.959
gift card and go buy a nice
salad and bernera bread in their bag and

101
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.040
a drink and take it to the
person. So however you need to do

102
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.199
that already rented by my daughter,
I said, uh, we got we

103
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.040
gotta do a cooking ext extramaganza.
She said, okay. She didn't even

104
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.399
ask what, when who? She
already knows we got to go feed some

105
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.079
people. So okay, So in
my house there's four of us, so

106
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.879
that's twelve people in this month that
we're gonna feed. So the instructions again,

107
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.679
because I think they we got a
chat just to repeat the instructions again.

108
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.000
Okay, thank you, thank you
because I cannot see the chat,

109
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:48.519
so thank you for that. The
instructions are to feed three people this month

110
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.759
strangers, and how you do it, let God lead you. But as

111
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.720
an example, we're gonna we'll probably
do home cooked meals. I don't know

112
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.879
thinking about that because we cook.
You know, my daughter has a home

113
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.600
cooking business, so that's something we
can do. Or if you just say,

114
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.960
you know what, let me go
to CVS and buy three. I

115
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.000
know ihop has got a big deal. Now, if you buy thirty dollars

116
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.600
worth of gift cards, they'll give
you a ten dollars gift card. I'm

117
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.759
just saying now ten you know,
you know that's thirty dollars. You know

118
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.120
that's three cards right there. It's
probably ten dollars. You know, you

119
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.039
can spend ten dollars apiece easily.
So it's up to you. But you

120
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.799
have them till the thirty first to
feed three people. And when you do

121
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.000
that, you trust God. You're
not out to the disciple of them.

122
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.720
You don't give them a card to
the church. You don't. No,

123
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.120
no, no, You're to feed
God's people and say God bless you.

124
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.200
You don't if they ask for prayer, that's on you. But you're not

125
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.440
there to have a sermon and do
your first sermon, you know, on

126
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.559
the mount in the parking lot.
You're not there for that. You're there

127
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.879
to feed three people. Now it's
for me and my house because I've got

128
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.000
three other believers. Like I said, that's three of us times four,

129
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.639
so that's twelve people. We're gonna
get to this month. Okay, So

130
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.919
however that is, but they should
be strangers. Now, if you've got

131
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.879
a relative that you know is down
and out, they're on limited income and

132
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.039
they will feed their cat first before
they even go by their medication, then

133
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.519
they I would just ask God if
they could count, because you know,

134
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.639
some people don't have and they'll spend
their last to you know, on their

135
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.639
animals before they spend it on themselves. Okay. So that is the missionary

136
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.000
challenge for the month of October.
And the whole I believe is it came

137
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.759
it definitely, you know, came
from us talking about you know, World

138
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.399
Hunger Day last month and and World
Hunger Awareness and things like that. Now

139
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.679
tonight we're gonna be talking about overall
health, wellness and healthiness, okay,

140
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.399
and what that means. What does
that look like? Because it's okay to

141
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.919
eat health. I know several people
who really eat healthy. They're skinny and

142
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:09.399
everything, but they're sick all the
time. Those two things don't go well

143
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:16.519
with me. Then I know plus
size people who are very healthy, So

144
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.759
I don't know what that is.
So I would suggest that you be prayerful,

145
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.120
pray and those of us who have
to take medication. I pray over

146
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.960
my medication every time, and my
supplements and my multivitamin whatever I have to

147
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.320
take things. And then we always
pray over our food, no matter it's

148
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.960
morning noodle to night, if it's
a snack, if it's a dessert,

149
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.799
it doesn't matter. Popcorn at the
movies, we pray. Okay, So

150
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.720
we want to hear from you all, and I'm glad we got folks in

151
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.679
the chat tonight. What do you
then, I'm gonna have the ladies,

152
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.039
you know, come on in and
chime in as well. But we want

153
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.600
to hear from you all. What
do you do to stay healthy? What

154
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.559
are some of your self care?
Now? Self care means I take opportunity

155
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:05.919
to do something special for me.
I stop, I spend worship. Excuse

156
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.279
me, guys, it's I'm good. I'm going through. So it's hot.

157
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.720
I got the air on, but
Jesus, you can't tell because I'm

158
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.879
ringing water. I don't know what
that means. I thought I was past

159
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.240
that. But anyway, So how
do you take care of yourself? How

160
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:28.799
are you mentally well? How are
you physically well? Socially are you well?

161
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.399
Are you the type that you feel
that you don't have friends and you

162
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.840
want to have a friend, or
people are constantly using you and those are

163
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.720
not friends. Okay, let me
do a sidebar here. Those who are

164
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.480
always got their hand out, those
who can barely say hey, how you

165
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.559
doing? You know I need Okay, they're not your friends. I know

166
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.679
in some cases it could be your
relatives. You got to step back and

167
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.679
take you gotta put that in check. Now we're in a season. Now

168
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.679
God has separating, He has separated. Excuse me, past tense, the

169
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.279
week from the tear. You know
God's chosen when you see it. Because

170
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.600
we're speaking to each other all the
time, even over the phone. We're

171
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.519
praying for people over the phone,
your customer service people, we're praying for

172
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.840
them. Amen. So let's get
back to this. Can we hear in

173
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.399
the chat and you guys can read
the chat. I'm not able to do

174
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.720
that because I'm a little limited tonight. But audience, tell us, how

175
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:30.399
do you what's your upkeep? How
do you maintain or are you not maintaining?

176
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.080
And you don't have to go into
details. You can say, you

177
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.120
know what, I'm really not taking
care of myself. That's all we need

178
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.799
to hear and We'll take it from
there. Anybody out there and viewership land

179
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.840
that wants to share, and then
ladies y'all can hop on. And you

180
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.480
know, because I think you kind
of know what I do. But I've

181
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.039
had to pivot a little bit because
I'm not at the act. You know,

182
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.080
I'm not at the History Center right
now and stuff. So I had

183
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.240
to pivot because I had to realize. But go ahead, Tommy. I

184
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:07.679
was just thinking about out the ten
dollars challenge a couple of years ago.

185
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:16.000
When I first moved in my house. The first Christmas I was there,

186
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:24.360
God placed in my heart to buy
nine I think it was nine ten dollars

187
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.080
gift cards from publics and give it
in a card to each one of my

188
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:37.000
neighbors. I didn't know anybody,
nobody knew me, and I gave every

189
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:45.799
home a ten dollar gift card.
And the funny thing about it, I

190
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.440
didn't hear from but one lady.
She said, she said, that was

191
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.720
so sweet of you. I said, but it's not me, it's God.

192
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:05.519
And in the card it wanted me
to really give knowledge of God's presence.

193
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.159
In other words, he died for
their, you know, for their

194
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:15.799
their well being and their sins for
that day and time, and I've done

195
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.080
that, and I just think,
oh my god, this is so awesome.

196
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.480
I'm just thinking about going to public. You know, ten dollars,

197
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.120
I can buy a sub, like
you said, a drink and a chip

198
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.360
and probably mind not maybe ten,
maybe twelve dollars. But to feed somebody

199
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.320
that you don't know, I'll be
more than this. Hey, thank you

200
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:48.440
lord. I love this and pray
for them as well. Yeah, I

201
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:56.000
think it's awesome too. I'm excited
about I'm excited about that. Hold on.

202
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.279
Someone said, times have been a
roller coaster lately, but we have

203
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.320
been trying to pick up odd jobs
outside of regular work. Okay, someone

204
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:11.519
posted that, so that's great,
very easy. I don't know. I

205
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.320
didn't see where they were. Viewer. If you want to share where you

206
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.679
are, that'll be good. If
not, we definitely understand that you don't

207
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.679
have to feel compelled to do that. But I think too all of it

208
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.919
goes hand in hand. When you're
talking about overall, oh Mississippi. Okay,

209
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.600
all right, thank you so much. So, when you're looking at

210
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.120
overall, when you're talking about wellness. To me, all of it affects

211
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:44.240
each other. They pivot. So
you know, if you're not physically well,

212
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.799
it affects you mentally and emotionally.
You know, you could be depressed

213
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.799
based off whatever your diagnosis you could
be experiencing. Also, we all want

214
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.759
to talk about not and not forget
the spiritual wellness as well. You know

215
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.039
your faith, what leaves you what
what what is your belief You know,

216
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.759
we're not here to judge you know
your your your faith, but whatever you

217
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:18.160
know, sometimes we as clinicians,
we don't we don't force religion on folks,

218
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.400
but sometimes we have used them.
Well, what do you believe in?

219
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.799
What keeps you going? And some
people say, you know, I

220
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:29.359
believe in God. And so we'll
tell me more about that. And then

221
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.839
because like especially if someone felt has
felt like they wanted to self harm,

222
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.480
and then they'll say, my faith
says this is against the Bible. And

223
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.039
I said, well that's a way
to look at it. And so you

224
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400
can play off of that. You
know, your your your spiritual wellness and

225
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.599
things that can keep you going and
physical, like I said, the physical

226
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.960
wellness, financial wellness. You know, if you're struggling financially, that affects

227
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.599
everything. I mean really, I
mean not saying that you have to be

228
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.759
rich, but you want to be
able to afford your basic necessities, you

229
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:10.119
know, food, shelter, clothing, you know, you know, just

230
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.599
things, your medications, things that
you would need on a day to day

231
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.519
basis. Because if your basic needs
are not met, that affects your overall

232
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:23.319
wellness. And so there are a
lot of people out there who are struggling

233
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.319
with one, two or most of
them, some of them might be struggling

234
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.759
with all the aspects of wellness.
And so one of the things that I

235
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.759
had kind of treated myself to was
prior to my dad's passing, I was

236
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.880
and I noticed too stress, you
know, the eating, and I actually

237
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.000
took a fitness class. You know, I did a fitness class, and

238
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.559
you know, I committed as much
as I could, three times a week,

239
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:59.079
six thirty in the morning for thirty
thirty minutes. For me, that

240
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:04.599
was my wealth and so that would
help jump start my day. One thing

241
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:11.599
that I'm doing now is just reading
proverbs and psalms, you know, during

242
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.079
the month, and that's I just
started really doing that last week. So

243
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:21.519
that's my spiritual wellness. But it's
different things to different folks, and I

244
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.920
want to you know, to monitor, to just throw this out because you

245
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.960
know, I think I'm all over
the place, but I just have a

246
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.039
lot that's up there. Sometimes people
wonder you don't when your feelings can sneak

247
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:37.839
up on you. Sometimes whatever we
would have a client do is every hour

248
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.759
right how you're feeling. So you
can't have a mantra, especially if you're

249
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.599
going through depression, anxiety, those
those things. Just write it down,

250
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.279
what triggered that, what triggered is
what can you do to kind of manage

251
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.319
that? Because let me tell you, the holidays are coming, It's getting

252
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.079
darker quicker. This is not my
favorite time of the year, you know,

253
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.920
with the darkness and the gloom in
the doom. It is not mine.

254
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.880
And I know that are a lot
of people who feel the same way.

255
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.279
They prefer the sunshine, longer days, fresh air, warmth, you

256
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.519
know, that type of stuff.
So I'm trying to get an emotion now,

257
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.440
this is my first full year without
my dad. What can I do

258
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.920
to make sure I'm overcoming that and
not to fall into that because it's easy

259
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:30.039
and we're only human. That is
so true. And I like what you

260
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:37.440
said, what are we doing for
ourselves? Just like I had to start.

261
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.279
A girlfriend say let's start walking.
I'm like, you know what that

262
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.079
durning thirty forty five minutes out of
our day. It's worth it. It's

263
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.799
worth getting the cardio built up,
and it makes me feel better. I

264
00:20:53.920 --> 00:21:02.000
sleep better all the above, and
I've gone back to my no eating past

265
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:08.839
seven. That's another one of my
ways of helping me get healthier and doing

266
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.599
well. And so even though I'm
taking care of my aunt and making sure

267
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.759
she's fine, I try to leave
at a decent hour so that I can

268
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:26.720
get what I need for me taken
care of and be able to live a

269
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:33.319
more healthier life for myself. It
is good, like you said before,

270
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:40.119
good to write down something, what's
on your mind? What are you thinking

271
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:48.400
about? Learning to journal that helps
you reading something that's positive. If it

272
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.640
only takes five minutes, you know, reading something positive. I know.

273
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:57.880
I have an app on my phone
and it's called just five Minutes a Day,

274
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.240
and it's a devotional. All it
takes is five minutes. We often

275
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:10.279
forget to care for ourselves. You
are so right, miss Nicky. We

276
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.880
done. We do because we're so
busy taking care of everybody else. But

277
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.559
we have to also remember if we
don't take care of ourselves and run ourselves

278
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:25.200
down, what happened to those that
we are taking care of. So you

279
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.160
gotta be very mindful of what you
do to have that peace of mind.

280
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.799
A girlfriend of mine that's taking care
of her dad, she told me,

281
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.720
she said what she do now when
things get too overwhelming, she makes sure

282
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.079
he's settled. She makes you,
she says, she just go writing.

283
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.440
She just she just take her She
said, I She'll call and said,

284
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.680
I gotta take a drive. I
said, what side of town? Just

285
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:55.039
to let me know where she is, so that okay. If I ain't

286
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.519
heart from her about thirty minutes,
I know to call her and say,

287
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.000
hey, where are you? And
she most of the times she'll call me

288
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.440
back and say, I made it
back in, I'm back, I'm rebooted.

289
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.319
I said, okay, but you
have to take that moment. If

290
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.559
it ain't for five men, if
it ain't for ten minutes or a drive

291
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:22.799
or a walk, clear your mind, because I think part of that problem

292
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:29.240
today is people are so bogged down, so stressed out. Like my brother

293
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.160
in Mississippi said, they've been bits
and pieces trying to make things work.

294
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.440
When you a little bit here and
a little bit there to try to mend

295
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:47.119
things together that can be overwhelming at
times, be very overwhelming. I'm praying

296
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:56.440
that somebody in Mississippi be able to
give my friend there a gift card of

297
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:03.240
somewhere that he can get a good
meal or good lunch or whatever it takes

298
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:10.599
for him to get through that day. Because I tell anybody my aunt taught

299
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:18.240
me a very valuable lesson. You
have today. Tomorrow's not promised. But

300
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:26.480
if I borrow a nickel from you
today and say, remind me to pay

301
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.519
you back tomorrow when tomorrow come,
she could say, no, I told

302
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:37.240
you tomorrow. But it's today today, So do tomorrow ever come. So

303
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:42.640
let's not put off what we can
do today. Take care of it today.

304
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:49.319
Start today making a promise, taking
our challenge and taking a challenge of

305
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.559
start taking care of yourself in twenty
one days, because in twenty one days,

306
00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:02.400
if you continuously take care of yourself, that forms a habit. Twenty

307
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.319
one days forms a habit. So
I challenge everyone find a way. If

308
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.720
it's something you can do every other
day, something you can do just an

309
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:18.200
hour a day, something you can
do three days this week and three days

310
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.440
next week. But keep keep it
going. Your body get used to it,

311
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.920
your body adapts, and you'll be
able to maintain. So make a

312
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.519
challenge to yourself or something that's gonna
clear your mind. If it ain't taking

313
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:45.319
but five minutes. I think the
gentleman did he say, uh, looking

314
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.319
for different jobs? Was it that
I did? I read it right?

315
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.759
Different jobs? So I just want
to throw some stuff up. So and

316
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:59.119
I'm thinking maybe it's down there too. But there's an app called task Rabbit,

317
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.920
and so it's a way to find
the odd jobs things that people looking

318
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.400
for someone to do. And you
can go you download the app if you're

319
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:15.000
able to. It's called task rabbit. And so you're able to put low

320
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:23.440
cas in thew of where you are
and and perude some of the jobs that

321
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:29.160
are available. And that proximity and
it gives you if it gives you,

322
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.799
like a range of how much you
could possibly earn for that particular job.

323
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.880
So that's something that might want to
consider, you know what, folks looking

324
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:45.400
for things? You know, things
that I still watching viewer if you don't

325
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:52.680
mind sharing. So if you some
things that you can do to yeah,

326
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.640
that's nice. And and can you
guys hear me. You can hear me.

327
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.599
Okay, yeah, that you know, you've got to find things that

328
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.799
and that's cost effective too. You
don't have to you know, it don't

329
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.480
have to cost a whole lot.
I mean, you could go to a

330
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.079
matinee movie. When was the last
time the movie theaters are still open?

331
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.440
They're they're trying to, you know, really strive and stay open. But

332
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.160
I mean six dollars, you know, six dollars, seven dollars maybe,

333
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.119
and you can go to a matinee
before, you know, four o'clock,

334
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.319
three o'clock. When was the last
time you went to the movies? When

335
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.119
was the last time you got on
one of the free channels on your cable

336
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.599
and just binge watch the Flintstones or
something so funny, and all you could

337
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.680
do was lap. When was the
last time you did that? When's the

338
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.720
last time you really laughed and enjoyed
yourself? That's self care to be able

339
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.000
to just sit back and laugh and
not these I'm gonna tell you, I'm

340
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.240
gonna be honest with you. These
past couple of weeks, for some strange

341
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.759
reason, I had my phone on
mute. I had my phone on mute,

342
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.279
and I'll look over and see if
I've got a call or whatever.

343
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.200
Later on, I'll see I had
a text or whatever. But what it

344
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.640
did and I didn't realize, is
that it was just so peaceful. And

345
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:19.240
I did not realize that it also
inhibited me from looking at Facebook or checking

346
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.880
my social media. So only when
I was have a call or whatever,

347
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.920
I'm talking to somebody, I talk
a little bit. Then I go to

348
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.920
Facebook, see what's going on.
And that was because I see I get

349
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:34.759
the news from Facebook. But I
couldn't believe just by me muting my phone

350
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:42.640
gave me such a piece. It
gave me such a piece, and I

351
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.920
felt so it just it was so
relaxing, and I could. You know,

352
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.960
I've got a paper I've got to
do, because most of you all

353
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.559
know I'm in school, and so
I've got a paper due this week and

354
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.359
stuff, and I took my time
and God told me how to piece it

355
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.200
together. But all the pieces,
my references and everything. I work security,

356
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.599
but I do handyman work when I
needed extra work. There you go,

357
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.279
there you go. But you got
to enjoy yourself too. You've got

358
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.839
God is expecting us to enjoy him, enjoy his things that he has for

359
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:18.599
us. But if you're so focused
on over here, on despair and hopelessness

360
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:25.160
and oh my God and God's blessing
over here though he's over here, but

361
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.680
you're here. And that's what the
devil likes of us to do, is

362
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.480
just to be totally distracted. That's
what he will have us to do.

363
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.440
That's his job. Okay, so
don't get after the devil. That's his

364
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:41.160
job. But we need to step
out of ourselves and say, what do

365
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.119
you know? When i'm When i'm
I seek court ordered clients and one of

366
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.920
my questions on my assessment is what
are your hobbies? And do you know

367
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.519
the majority of them have to sit
there and say, oh wow, I

368
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.799
said, besides being mommy or being
daddy, what are your hobbies? They

369
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.240
even tell me, and my homework
for them is. One young lady had

370
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.640
to tell her. I said,
do you all have any fish? She

371
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.559
said fish? I said, yeah, you have a little fish. She

372
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.079
said no. I said, well, your homework's gonna be go find your

373
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:19.200
go get your a fishbowl and get
go that's smart or Walmart and get one

374
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:23.039
of the colorful fishes. She said, you want me to go buy a

375
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.319
fish? I said yeah, because
you need something to bring you down,

376
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.680
you know, just to calm you
down. And what I want you to

377
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.839
do is watch how that fish glides
in the water. And then when it's

378
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.839
time for you to feed it,
watch what it does. Does it stay

379
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.240
at the top, does it know
you're coming? Does it know it's time

380
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.880
to eat? Is he looking at
you? Like? Okay, you know

381
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.480
I'm about to fail here? Did
you forget about me? Is after twelve?

382
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.319
Does a fish the fish don't know
what time it is? You know?

383
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.960
But watch the fish, you know, down on the app right now.

384
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.599
Thank you for the advice. Okay, it's I don't loading your app

385
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.359
amen, you know, but find
it gets some common music. Most of

386
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.880
our cable channels have just nothing but
music. You've got reggae music, you

387
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.279
got gospel music, you've got rock
music. You've got all the channels in

388
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.680
the four hundred. If you have
spectrum, it's in the four hundred level.

389
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.599
When was the last time you just
listen to some music? If you

390
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:26.519
like music, there there's a it's
I don't know series, But if you

391
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.880
go to YouTube, it's called Loafi
lo fi and it's got different beats.

392
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.880
Sometimes I'll listen to loafi hip hop. Those are some things that we were

393
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.559
introduced to through our clinical supervisor at
the time to introduce to our clients.

394
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.680
And its little upbeat is not solid, but it's got like a little jazzy.

395
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.799
The different ones you can actually go
through and see listen to the different

396
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:55.440
ones. So there's one that has
a young lady, a girl that has

397
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:59.640
a cat typically in the in the
scene and she's doing some homework or she's

398
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.759
sitting looking out the window with drinking
a cup of coffee something, but it's

399
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.640
really nice. They have one with
Mark Simpson on it, Lisa Simpson.

400
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:13.079
The beats are actually nice. They're
mellow and so they're not solemn, but

401
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:17.119
they're mellow. And so that's something
that I find is helpful that when I

402
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.880
do work or something, it's it's
nice. It's got a nice, little,

403
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:23.960
nice little beat. But you can
go through and kind of find the

404
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:29.839
one that are the beats, uh
that that that you would like, that

405
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.680
would that you would enjoy. And
I think there's one too, it's called

406
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.240
nightlife Jazz. I want to say. It's kind of metal and jazzy.

407
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.200
So it's different things that you can
do, but also stepping out of the

408
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.559
norm things that don't cost much.
You know, you could fix I know,

409
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.079
growing up it was four kids,
four girls, and we would take

410
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:54.759
a ride somewhere and go down like
a parkway and it wasn't you know,

411
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.880
big stuff. We weren't into McDonald's
and stuff. My pants are packs and

412
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.839
crackers, maybe some cream cheese,
some ballogey cheese or pull on the side

413
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.960
of the road and cut these things
up and for it. It was just

414
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.279
dynamic. I know it sounds kind
of cheesy, but hey, when you're

415
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:14.200
on a budget, those things stand
out to me because it was kind of

416
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.720
nice. You know that you pull
over the side of the road and you

417
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:21.880
just maybe have a picnic table,
you know, put to cover the picnic

418
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.519
table or something, or you could
even if you want to do something else

419
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:28.359
with your family, do a picnic
in the middle of your dim floor layer,

420
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.200
lay a blanket down if the weather's
not good, get your picnic basket

421
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.240
if you everybody has their little plates
or whatever, and sit around. Turn

422
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.359
if you want to watch TV,
if not, turn the TV off.

423
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.160
They're different things that you can kind
of do to kind of break the monotony

424
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:46.759
of things, to you know,
just enjoyable stuff that doesn't that doesn't cost

425
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:51.559
a whole lot and so and that's
what you know, I would tell folks.

426
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.640
You know, it's free to watch
the sky. Find somewhere where you

427
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:58.839
can just see the sky if you
can, you know, just watch us

428
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:02.119
around us. Be careful because olks
crazy nowadays. But just to get some

429
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:06.680
some stars. Look and see if
you can count the stars. Look for

430
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:10.480
the big dipper, little little dipper. Look on research with an astrology,

431
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.440
astrological sign for that month, because
sometimes you can see them. They're free

432
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:16.920
things that you can do and make
it a project. You can do the

433
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:22.320
kids the same way, like we're
gonna try to find the astrological sign of

434
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:28.840
Libra. You just make it a
game and make it fun and say oh

435
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.599
I see and showing what it looks
like. And then when you go to

436
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:36.639
the sky, see what times that
that it will probably appear. You know,

437
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.239
research it and and it's nice stuff. It doesn't cost you anything.

438
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:47.400
And God is reminding me right now. Another part of this process is forgiving

439
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:55.079
yourself. You've got to let go
of the past. We're not there anymore.

440
00:34:55.199 --> 00:35:04.760
That part of self care is not
only loving yourself. Part of taking

441
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:12.039
care of yourself is being able to
forgive and to let go and to truly

442
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.079
let God. I know people they
quote it all the time and they think

443
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.079
they're doing something, and I'm looking
at them and I can see, you

444
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.320
know, got the gifts. I
can see right through them. I'm like,

445
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.400
oh God, you know, I
guess you have to keep You're gonna

465
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.920

471
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.440

family reunion told you don't do no desserts

472
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.320

474
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.559

476
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:13.280
you know, Okay, So you
gotta be able to forgive yourself,

477
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:21.079
forgive those who have wrongfully done things
to you. They've hurt your feelings,

478
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.360
they've done whatever, and they've hurt
you. This is a part of this

479
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:31.000
because you're sitting here in that dark
space and you're thinking about all of those

480
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:36.760
things. You don't like your job, but we have to work. Okay.

481
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.960
I've had to tell mith, you
gotta work. You gotta work.

482
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:43.000
If you got a cell phone,
you got a car, you gotta work.

483
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.119
If you staying in somebody house,
you got to you gotta work because

484
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:51.400
you got to pay something. So
let's get over that. How many of

485
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.320
us have been on a job that
we didn't like, I mean working since

486
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:58.599
I was fourteen. I could tell
you about three jobs I didn't like,

487
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.360
but I had to do it.
I had to do it, but I

488
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:06.079
flipped it. I didn't look at
this, Oh I got to pay my

489
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:07.840
rent. No, I didn't look
at it that way. I'm like,

490
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:12.360
oh, I'm getting to do something. Another thing that social work can do.

491
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.960
I'm gonna take it to the next
level. You gotta forgive, you

492
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:22.599
gotta let go of the heavy weight
because you keep bringing it into your yet

493
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:28.719
you into your tomorrow when it happened
twenty years ago. We have to forgive,

494
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.960
and then we have to forgive ourselves. We have to forgive ourselves.

495
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.519
I shared with y'all last week.
I got revelation and I'm sitting there all

496
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:39.400
this time, I've been griping.
Yes, I complained. I'm like,

497
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:43.719
oh my God. And the one
thing guys like, I got this.

498
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.880
I'm the one decided for you to
do this, got your in. Just

499
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:50.559
keep bringing it back to me.
I know you don't like it, I

500
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:55.360
know you don't need it, but
I need it for the Kingdom. And

501
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.920
as I've said before and I'll say
it again, ministry is not personal.

502
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.079
It's not personal. So we thank
you and the gentleman that's from Mississippi I

503
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:12.000
think it was. We're gonna keep
you in prayer that God will bless you

504
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.320
with more work and I hope you'll
join us, you know, and and

505
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.440
feeding three people this month, and
watch what God will do for you,

506
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.760
because guess what we will definitely,
And I want you to report back so

507
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.960
you can hit us up on saying
setting it straight. Uh, We're on

508
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:29.000
Facebook, We're on everything. You
can always call us back, you know,

509
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.599
or coming onto the show. When
you do do it, we'll be

510
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:38.119
reporting in ourselves amongst for everybody to
hear. But that's the way we do

511
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:44.360
it. We're gonna put a dent
and hunk on people being hungry. We're

512
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.840
gonna put a dent in it.
We're gonna put a dent in it.

513
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.559
And that's what we're supposed to do. Not try to eradicate because you're gonna

514
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.079
burn yourself out. It's not going
anywhere until the last man, woman,

515
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:02.960
boy, girl, two leggo feathered
friend and four legged with a tale friend

516
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:14.039
leave this earth every living creature when
that happens. So tonight two things.

517
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:21.920
Try to three fee three strangers this
month and do it with love and compassion.

518
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:24.159
Do you're not there to disciple anybody. You're not there to try to

519
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.440
put members and bring members to the
church. It's not about that. It's

520
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.239
about feeding. That's what God wants
us to do. You have to be

521
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.519
strategic as specific, and Jesus was
strategic and specific when the disciples, said,

522
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:37.840
Lord, teach us how to pray. He said, our Father,

523
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:44.119
which are in heaven hollow would be
thy name. Now we can stay right

524
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.360
there and talk about the names of
God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

525
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:51.360
You can stay right there. You
could preach a sermon three a three weeks

526
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.639
sermon on that. Just the names
of the Lord and Jesus. Was very

527
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:00.840
specific. And there are times he's
going to say he shouldn't share things with

528
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:02.800
you, and it's just for you. You don't have to go tell everybody,

529
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.840
because not everybody's for you. That's
a whole different show. We'll talk

530
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:13.559
about that another time, but tonight
we really want to stress the importance.

531
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.159
I will start working on it,
all right, amen, Thank you,

532
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:22.400
thank you, thank you. Amen. But we need you to take care

533
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.480
of yourself too, my friend.
We need you to be healthy, wealthy.

534
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.320
My mother used to say this,
saying, and I'm dating myself mouth

535
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:35.920
healthier, wealthier and wise, healthier, wealthier and wise? Are you healthy,

536
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.000
wealthy and wise? And I'm like, okay, Mom, we've been

537
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.440
saying that for a while. I
don't know what that means. We shop

538
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:44.719
at sears. I don't know what
the wealth is but okay, whatever you

539
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:49.920
say. But we never went without
the lights, utilities never went off.

540
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:55.679
And if my dad came home for
lunch and the TV wasn't the floor model

541
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.639
TV wasn't working, my dad would
take a your knife and go behind.

542
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.480
Don't unplug nothing, take the script
that the back thing off. He said,

543
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.960
Oh, just go to Western Auto
and get a picture too. That's

544
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:09.800
all you need, a bubb I'm
like, Dad, you know that was

545
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:14.599
plugged up right, you put metal
back there. But those are the type

546
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:19.079
of daddies we were raised by.
They you know, Dad, Dad,

547
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.119
the toaster not working, He sucked
the knife down and he said, yeah,

548
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:24.519
it looks like it's not firing up
and it's still I'm like, you

549
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:29.519
want me to plugging. Didn't have
no fear in the world. Dad went

550
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.360
to the dentist one day, came
home and his whole face had sunk it

551
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:36.000
in And I'm like, Daddy,
what what? What? What did the

552
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:37.960
dentists? What did he suggest?
Oh? I just told him he said

553
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:45.400
I had some bad teeth. That
told him take him all out. And

554
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.760
that's a deal breaking for me.
Ain't got your old teeth, I I

555
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.280
it's just something. It's something to
look at it's and I'm like that,

556
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:59.519
you know how you going to eat? Dad? We're having pork chops uh

557
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:01.159
for dinner? Ow the worry about
that? I said, Okay, that's

558
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:04.400
it, and we never worried about
it. He got his binges, didn't

559
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:06.880
like him, so he just walked. I said, Okay, that's the

560
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:13.199
type of daddy was cra Okay.
So whether my parents had issues, they

561
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.000
worked them out the best way they
could. They didn't bring that into the

562
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:21.239
family. They didn't bring that into
the house. They they did their best

563
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.920
with what they had, and I'm
so thankful that they did. And now

564
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:28.360
looking at how I've raised my children
and what we've gone through and what we're

565
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.599
going through, you know, it's
just okay, okay, But I still

566
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:35.719
tell them, and I've got two
gen zs and a millennial in the house.

567
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:39.639
Find something to do. What are
your hobbies? What do y'all like

568
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:45.960
to do? Some things y'all can't
get away from you won't. It's a

569
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.440
part of you. So go back, take these next couple of days and

570
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.880
say, you know, what,
what is it I can do? Okay,

571
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:59.119
if money is an issue that's not
going to cost me, what can

572
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.119
I do? People watch. I
used to tell my depressive, my depression.

573
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:07.360
My clients that suffered from depression,
their homework was every week for an

574
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.880
hour, to go to the mall
and sit in the food court. Now,

575
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:13.400
back in those days, we didn't
have food court. So I just

576
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:16.159
tell them to sit wherever the elevator
was or the escalator. Just sit right

577
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:21.679
there. What do I do?
Nothing? Just sit And I promised you

578
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:23.440
you're gonna laugh, you gonna hear
all kinds of stories. You're gonna be

579
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:28.360
like they came here talking like that, they got that kind of issue.

580
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:30.800
I mean, I was in the
CBS the other day and the lady just

581
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:32.920
talking. Yeah, well see what
she was just she had put the phone

582
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.000
that propped it on a basket and
she's just talking. And I'm like,

583
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.119
I wanted to say, you know
you're in the store, right, you

584
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.880
know you're in CBS and we can
all hear you, and what your recipient

585
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.360
the caller is okay, all right, So I know people got things on

586
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:52.320
their mind. My whole point is
sharing that I know you've got things on

587
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:54.960
your mind and you don't realize you
take it with you everywhere you go.

588
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:01.719
Everywhere you go. God is not
a God. It's not a stressor God.

589
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:06.480
Be Serving God is not a stressful
thing. It's the most relaxing.

590
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:10.239
It's the most weight lifting thing you
could ever do in your life. You're

591
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:13.719
tired of your life, Take it
to God, I said, God,

592
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.639
I am tired of this. I
am tired of that. I'm tired of

593
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.760
this. And you know what,
this time, for the first time,

594
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.440
I'm gonna trust your word. You
said, cast all my cares on you.

595
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.280
Cast my burdens on your yo,
yoke as easy your burden. It's

596
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:30.199
like you're gonna remove my shoulder from
the burden. Okay, here you have

597
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:39.079
it. I double dare you to
do it. I doubl dare you Watch

598
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.840
what he would do, because all
he was waiting on us is to get

599
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.760
for us to give it to him. He loves us that much. There

600
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.840
are no human beings that love each
other like that. Nobody's gonna step to

601
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.440
you and say, well, give
it to me. I'll take it on.

602
00:45:52.639 --> 00:46:00.119
No, I'll help you pray through
it. No, because some of

603
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:05.360
y'all have some stuff and I'm like, and see, I can't control my

604
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:07.599
face, so I have to die
even with the mask on. I'd be

605
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.320
like I was at the school getting
my hair done. But Lisa her Fred

606
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:15.159
all of her it is sensitive to
the case are issues to God. It

607
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.119
is insensitive, Okay? Is it? Oh? Is it insensitive? No,

608
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:27.280
His word says it. Try me
and see cast all your cares on

609
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.119
me. My favorite scripture Psalms eighty
one and six, I'll remove your shoulder

610
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:36.960
from the bird to free your hands
from the pots. He don't want us

611
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:40.920
worried. And yes, I used
to be miss E. I used to

612
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:44.920
be one that was concerned and worried
about because I was like, oh God,

613
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:46.920
I wasn't a mad person, but
I would get into a little trouble,

614
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:49.880
especially with my mouth. You know. I'd be like you know in

615
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.519
my facial expressions and I'd be like, you know so. And I held

616
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:57.960
off from giving my life to Christ
because I didn't want to take that to

617
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.000
him. I was too embarrassed to
take that to him. But then I

618
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:05.239
learned, you know what, what
am I doing? Either I'm gonna believe

619
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:09.360
him or I'm not. And the
moment I did that, my life changed

620
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:15.199
and I gave my life to Christ. My junior year in college, I

621
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:17.800
had to study for two psychic exams
I'll tell my testimony another time, but

622
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.679
I ate my exams. And I've
been running for him every since. And

623
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.480
I just turned a big number this
summer and I'm still running. Died a

624
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:31.320
couple of times, still running,
got issues trying to come at me tonight

625
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:36.320
on just to get on this call. Still running because I promise you I'll

626
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:37.440
go to somebody house said, no, I need you to get on Facebook

627
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.079
for me for a minute. Let's
get on YouTube just for a minute.

628
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.440
But anyway, any parting words,
because I can barely hear you, guys,

629
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.840
but you go ahead, any parting
words and anything. Our viewers,

630
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:52.000

633
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.079

ain't gonna mention you. We're gonna say

634
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.880
God, you know who I'm talking
about, but we do put lift you

635
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:07.199
all up in prayer. So any
parting words, ladies, y'all take it

636
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:13.920
from him. I'm going to mic
out, well, I really love all

637
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:21.840
you share, and thank you.
I feel bad like I was passing my

638
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:29.480
burdens off. Don't He gives the
burdens to me to get through. He

639
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:35.920
see, excuse me. He wants
you to cast the cares upon him because

640
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:40.320
he cares for you, he said. He makes your burdens lighter. Yes,

641
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:45.280
he does take you through, but
you got to allow him to take

642
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.960
you because a lot of times we
get in the way of him trying to

643
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:54.280
help us. So that don't feel
bad. That's what he's here for.

644
00:48:54.440 --> 00:49:00.079
That's that's his that's his part of
his ministry of being here for his people,

645
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:07.119
be moving and lightening our burdens.
So ms Gray shared a lot.

646
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:15.000
I just appreciate everything you said YouTube
Tray, and I'm gonna let Trey have

647
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.039
