So this is all good.

40
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.680
Hallelujah. I pray that everybody's had a blessed week. It's

41
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.719
been a mess. It's been a mess. I can't speak

42
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:18.719
for anybody else.

43
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.319
It's been a mess. But all I could do is

44
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.599
laugh about it, like we.

45
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.719
Were doing it before we came up, because we couldn't

46
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.599
even we couldn't even plot this way.

47
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.599
We couldn't even say. You know, all you can do

48
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.159
is laugh. Who can you be mad at it?

49
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.879
When it's dealing with technology, when it's dealing with the

50
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.280
devil who's playing with the strings? Who can you be

51
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.000
mad at You gotta laugh at all and say, is

52
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.360
this all you got, Satan?

53
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.520
Is this all you got? You're gonna try to keep

54
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.039
us off the air? Really, really.

55
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.520
Take your best shot. We cover trade, we cover trade,

56
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.360
we cover rebel. Take your best shot. Yeah, that's all

57
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:00.840
you got.

58
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.159
I remember years ago, think when we first I got

59
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.919
married and moved up here, and I think the babies

60
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.360
were born.

61
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.400
My twins were born then, and I had to take

62
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.879
them to daycare, in home daycare, and I was going down.

63
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.639
This main street and I mean, this car just jumped.

64
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:19.600
He's gonna just this.

65
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.879
He's getting in my lane, coming towards me because he

66
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.759
wanted to turn into the little triplex. And I'm like,

67
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.160
and all I could do I kept driving on this

68
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.240
slow up. I kept driving and he got out of

69
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.079
the way. And so when I got home, I had

70
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.079
to reflect on that, and I said, Satan, that's all

71
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.839
you got. Because so what I did was I called

72
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.240
three people back home, and I said, hey, I got

73
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.079
a question, a quick question to ask you. If I

74
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.519
died tomorrow, what would be your memory of me? And

75
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.680
they were like, what are you talking about? I said, no, no, no, no,

76
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.399
just just just humor me. Here, if I died tomorrow,

77
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.560
what would be your memory of me? Well, you're a

78
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.399
woman of God, you love the Lord, you love Jesus,

79
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.160
talked about angels.

80
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.360
You know, you saved me.

81
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.319
A couple of times I called another person, asked them

82
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.839
the same question for similar responses.

83
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:09.600
Call a third person.

84
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.720
I had to make them talk to me because they're like,

85
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:13.560
what's going on?

86
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.079
I said, don't just trust me on this.

87
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.800
So when I got off the phone with the third person,

88
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.319
I said, you see, Satan, if I live, I serve

89
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.600
him I represented.

90
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.680
If I die, I serve him I represented. So for

91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.800
God I live and for God I die, you're going

92
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.839
to have to do a whole lot to get rid

93
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:34.120
of me.

94
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.680
And erased the legacy that I will leave behind.

95
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:40.519
And that was over.

96
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.399
The twins just turned twenty two. They were just newborns,

97
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.600
so that was twenty two years ago. I made that declaration,

98
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.240
And of course over time, I've been you know, several

99
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.120
cars tracked have been in accidents, and cars trackt with

100
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.160
glasses flew.

101
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.519
Off in the car thought I was blind. I ain't

102
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.759
over glasses, but God, I'm like, oh God, I can't

103
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:03.120
see it.

104
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.399
I can't see.

105
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.240
Then I end up in the hospital and my life

106
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:12.160
changes forever. These last six years, it's all I can

107
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.959
say to you, devil, you taking your best shot. There's

108
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.600
nothing else you can do to me, because Jesus is

109
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.720
coming for you and he's going to seal you up.

110
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.120
Thousand years, one day don't matter. It's all about the

111
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.560
Bible fulfilling itself. And I feel happy. I can't imagine

112
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.639
how Jesus felt at age twelve, then in age thirty three,

113
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.839
when you know you're a person of purpose, you know

114
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.079
things have to happen.

115
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.439
You know you have to take it. You have to

116
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.040
do it. You got to deal with it.

117
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.879
You got to take the the accusations that people throwing

118
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.839
rocks at you, and people putting you.

119
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.079
In jail, people laying their hands on you. You got

120
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:53.600
to endure.

121
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.680
When it's all about the fact that the Bible history

122
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:06.519
has to feel itself, it has to fulfill itself. So

123
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.959
I know how that feels. I know how that feels.

124
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.680
So tonight we're talking about resources for success. What is

125
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.560
it that you need for success?

126
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.519
We're going to pray first, Thank you, passor Miguel, would

127
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.480
you take it please?

128
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.920
All we are so grateful and thankful for this day.

129
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.519
And Lord, despite of all the challenges that we may front,

130
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.839
any obstacles that we may face, we know Lord you

131
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.800
are in control. Lord, this is your show. We can

132
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.759
have nothing to do but to deliver your message through

133
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.360
our mouths. And Lord, the words that come out of

134
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.879
our mouths are yours. And Lord, we thank you for

135
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.519
this opportunity where we can be able to gather together

136
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.959
not only as friends, the part of your body who

137
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.160
we represent as the kingdom that you rule. And Lord,

138
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.000
we turn this time over to you. We get behind

139
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:12.199
the cross because Lord you lead the way and everything

140
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.519
in life. And we pray all this and your glorious

141
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.040
and mighty names. Amen.

142
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.879
Amen, thank you, sir, Thank you, sir.

143
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.879
So yes, we're talking about resources for success, and everybody

144
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.560
is gonna U mute and we're gonna talk tonight so

145
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.440
we don't have to worry about getting no more pressing buttons. Tonight,

146
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.039
We're gonna do this and I'm my first. One of

147
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:47.039
my first recommendation of being able to be successful is

148
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.679
develop a relationship with God Jesus in the Holy Spirit.

149
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:01.759
That's my first one. Don't waste any more time. There's

150
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.000
nothing more to think about. Just get in line and

151
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.440
work on your relationship. And trust me. It may seem

152
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:15.320
like Pastor and I have it somewhat together and we're

153
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.120
getting it. We don't have nothing together. You don't know

154
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.639
how hard it is to stay humble on a daily basis,

155
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.759
on a minute by minute basis, because my brain wants

156
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.519
to get the credit.

157
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.000
My flesh wants to, you know, keep me in pain.

158
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.960
I'm trying to prey on my knees and pain and shooting,

159
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.480
but I had to press through. So no, you no,

160
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.679
we will never have it all together until He calls

161
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:43.039
us home. I would answer that by saying, you all

162
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.360
have been a resource for me and it made a

163
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:46.240
difference in my life.

164
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.960
Thank you. Under stage, h God bless you.

165
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.799
Listen to this show has many difference in men's well

166
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:57.799
country saying coming through God, bless you, God bless you all.

167
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:04.279
So resources for success. Anybody else, everybody just jump on in.

168
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.360
Let's talk about it now. I think you said it.

169
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.759
One of the first things is your relationship with God,

170
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.480
improving that, getting to know him, praying and and and

171
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.600
I'll just add this and I'll let pass the takeover.

172
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.039
But also surrounding yourself with people who are are goal oriented,

173
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.440
like you know, like minded, those who see the glass

174
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.720
half full versus half empty. You know, you need positive

175
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.919
folks around you, a network of folks you don't have.

176
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.240
Everybody doesn't.

177
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.799
But you need to know who's in your corner. Recognize

178
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.399
that and you know, and pray on it, and and

179
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:43.960
and and.

180
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.600
Look and listen.

181
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.320
And people will show you who they are in different scenarios.

182
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.759
So you have to pick and choose according to that.

183
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:56.720
But but build your support system of people and or

184
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.320
supports things that motivate you. So even if they don't

185
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.720
have access to the three of us right away, you

186
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.919
know there's other things.

187
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.919
You know, because I listen to different things.

188
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:11.480
I listen to different people and motivational speakers and different

189
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.240
ministers just kind of their perspectives. But things that just music,

190
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:21.159
different music, uplifting music. But you have to kind of

191
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.559
build build around you a calmness or a peace. You

192
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.519
don't need chaos that chaos will will keep going off again.

193
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.679
This show is such an inspiration with me. Hope everyone

194
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.240
feels the power spoken here. Oh Mickey, thank you, God,

195
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:41.279
bless you, thank you.

196
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.039
Micky Well.

197
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.639
I have to say that just reading some of the

198
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:57.879
feedback is definitely very humbling, because we definitely we do

199
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.320
this for for the the audience. We want to make

200
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.679
sure that they are on the they are up to

201
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:12.279
date with what's going on with with our experience. And

202
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:19.679
we've all have experienced our our times and and we've

203
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.320
we've gone through the fire, and we have gone through

204
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:28.639
the fire. And I have to say that of the

205
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:37.000
resources that I find essential is sometimes it's important to

206
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:44.399
have a mentor. Mentor in the sense that they're going

207
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:49.600
to guide you, they're going to help you, and they're

208
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:55.039
going to call you out. Because to me, having a

209
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.919
mentor just giving you what you want to hear it

210
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:04.480
is useless because you're going to think you're doing something right,

211
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:09.519
and if somebody doesn't have the candor to mention it

212
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.240
to you and saying, hey, look, don't do this, this

213
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.799
is not right and call you out on it, that's

214
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.600
being a mentor. And one of the things that I've

215
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:29.919
learned is. I have a mentor and we meet every

216
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:35.720
Thursday or every other Thursday, and we talk scripture. And

217
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.799
he's been he's been a pastor much longer than I have.

218
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:46.360
He's much younger than me, and then I respect him

219
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:56.200
dearly simply because he's seen what life can dish out

220
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:02.120
to you. He was one of fiveildren in a communist

221
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:07.000
country and when he was when his father was the pastor,

222
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.679
people would be throwing rocks at their houses and threatening

223
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:17.519
them and arresting the father. And he's gone through all

224
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:23.720
that and better to hear how to overcome those challenges

225
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:28.200
from somebody who's been through the fire. And this is

226
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:34.200
where those individuals. Even though he's young, he's buys he's

227
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:40.919
full of knowledge and that's something that helps. And when

228
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.000
I bring something up and he doesn't agree with it,

229
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.919
he'll tell me I'm not that's not the right way

230
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.360
of doing it. And we've had this relationship now for

231
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.000
over a year and a half and it's been been

232
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.080
really solid and kind of helps you grow, and that's

233
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.159
what's going for you. Continue to grow, you grow and

234
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:06.000
you become mature, and as you become mature, you become

235
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:10.200
wise and think, you make we think you makeey.

236
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:16.080
Kids are driving, have some nice of paying attention so

237
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.759
they listen on the ride. I thank you, ain't men misteve,

238
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.000
thank you amen.

239
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.080
And so that's what I would have to say, is

240
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.080
having a mentor to really guide you in those areas

241
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:31.600
that you're unfamiliar with.

242
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:38.039
You need to also develop or have at hand some

243
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:44.159
tools to keep you humble, some tools of reminders of

244
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.240
keeping you humble. Forgiving and forgetting is a tool that

245
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.759
keeps me humble. I had to forgive someone just really

246
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.720
quickly the other day. I said, you know, I don't,

247
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.679
I don't even I don't even want to hold on

248
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.039
to the thought or the infraction or the instant. And

249
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.159
then I'm forgiving you. I forgive you, and I'm forgetting

250
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.840
about it. I'll bring it up on the show for

251
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.799
this week's topic.

252
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.159
That's it. I'll see you, I see your face. You know. No,

253
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.120
I'm done. I don't. I don't, I don't know.

254
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.720
It's just too heavy. And God has lifted burdens off

255
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.759
of me. And that's what Psalms eighty eighty one and six.

256
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.480
I'll remove your shoulders from the burden and free your

257
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.320
hands from the pints, and that means get out of

258
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.399
his way. So always have some tools. What is it

259
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.679
that calms you down? I asked that. I ask that

260
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.200
of clients when I am, when they're in individual therapy

261
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.039
or their court ordered for treatment. I asked, and what

262
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.120
calms you down? And sometimes they cannot tell me, and

263
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.799
I assign homework immediately at that point. That's your homework.

264
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.240
You need to find out what calms you down, what

265
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.840
can bring you back to point A or ground zero?

266
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.039
What can bring you back?

267
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.919
So make sure you have your resources. You know your

268
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:05.799
go to people, whether it is your mentor whether it

269
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.519
is a good dear friend.

270
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.519
And a good friend is one that's not gonna tell

271
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.440
you what you want to hear. A good friend is

272
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:19.240
not gonna always agree with you. They're gonna listen, they're

273
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.799
not gonna interject, they're not gonna talk over you. They're

274
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.720
gonna say, oh, you know, They're gonna listen, and they

275
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:24.240
gonna say, you.

276
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:28.160
Know what, really are we bringing this up again? Now?

277
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:32.200
Don't get your feelings hurt. You gotta resolve it and

278
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.039
make a declaration of a resolution to yourself. I know,

279
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.240
the first of the year you.

280
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.200
All go about making all these you know, promises to

281
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.279
yourself and everything. And sometimes the first few weeks is good.

282
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.000
But make a decla. Making a declaration is different. I

283
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:52.279
declare that I will not be the same way tomorrow

284
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:53.400
as I am today.

285
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.880
Making a declaration, I will lose this weight. I will

286
00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.799
get my balance.

287
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.880
When you say that with a force, you're reminding yourself

288
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:09.960
and you're telling your flesh stand down. I am gonna remember.

289
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.599
My memory is gonna be sharper than attack. I am

290
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.079
gonna be restored and regimed and revived and reignited. Make

291
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.759
some declarations to yourself. I am going to do this.

292
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.000
I have to let these people go. They're not my

293
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.039
power and check your in a circle. I know we're

294
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.359
so quick to talk about the inner circle, but you know,

295
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:33.759
I think I shared last week.

296
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.359
I don't have an inner circle. That's God, Jesus in

297
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.680
the Holy Spirit. That's my inner circle.

298
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.839
Because I know they're gonna keep me in check, They're

299
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.680
gonna keep guiding me, they're gonna.

300
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.559
Keep me straight, they're gonna keep me moving. Amen.

301
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:55.720
Amen, So make some declarations for yourself. And that's why

302
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.519
I encourage that. Have not because you're asked not vision board,

303
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.519
whether you write it down, or you put it and

304
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.440
cut out pictures, whatever it's gonna take that makes you

305
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.119
check it. I check mine every thirty days. I think

306
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.519
Steve Harvey still checks his every day. Warren Buffett checks his,

307
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.000
just throwing out some names that you should know, so

308
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.359
that keeps you in check.

309
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.000
That aligns.

310
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.799
And also it just shows all the miracles and supernatural

311
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.079
things that happen to healings, and you know, you know,

312
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.440
just it's just you want to do that, but you

313
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.240
have on there everything that you need to have on there.

314
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.799
To keep you moving forward anybody else.

315
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.319
And then I'm going to talk about if you run

316
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:47.039
a business also, but wait, well I.

317
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:54.960
Mean no, go ahead, well what thank you?

318
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.799
So what I was gonna say is too going back

319
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.720
to the faith thing.

320
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.119
You know, you need somebody who can guide you spiritually

321
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.880
to and through scriptures and what to pray and ask for,

322
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.880
you know, just just getting to know how to do that.

323
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.319
And I think Pastor you had said it and it

324
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.759
helped me a lot. Just just talk to.

325
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.680
Him, so you'd be surprised what you can learn when

326
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.160
you just talk to God and listen to what he's saying.

327
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.200
Because at one point I think I was blame to

328
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.119
you too, Lisha. How do I know if he was

329
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.279
talking to me? And I think now I have a

330
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:38.400
little more clarity of when he is, which is great.

331
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.720
I mean that it's a good feeling of mine. And

332
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.680
like I said, I'm newer to the faith.

333
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.799
Walk than you all are. I mean, I always believed

334
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:46.119
in God.

335
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.160
I always knew there was a guy, but really just

336
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.000
trusting him. I'm at the point of my life just

337
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.920
trusting him more and being less impulsive than I was

338
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.799
before and trying to do it on my own. So

339
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.160
I really seek him and pray and so that has

340
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.559
helped me through a lot. You know, that has helped

341
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.440
me through a lot. And so and then you you

342
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.279
and Pastor I tell you inspiration, you know, trying to

343
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.319
get that and learning, you know in the audience.

344
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.680
Given feedback, which we're not. I know we're doing the

345
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.559
right thing, you know.

346
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:22.480
I feel like I know we're doing the right thing

347
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.319
because we're reaching people and then providing feedback, and so

348
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.960
that's that's a great thing as well.

349
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:30.279
Well.

350
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:35.839
I was I was going to We're going to go

351
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:42.000
a little deep here in the sense that the world

352
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:48.839
that we're always trying to emulate one Ephesians five to

353
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.880
one takes it very clear that we should imitate God.

354
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.279
And when we imitate God, and this is where I'm

355
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.640
going to go a little here, we have to understand

356
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:08.599
what God does for us, that is, he forgave us

357
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:13.920
through his son Jesus Christ. And this is such an

358
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:21.240
important thing to understand simply because if we come to

359
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:26.640
God and we say, God, why aren't you listening to me?

360
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:31.640
Why aren't you providing? God could be saying to you,

361
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:39.079
because you still have unfinished business. You may have to

362
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:43.720
forgive that person that you may not agree with. You

363
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:47.920
may have to forgive for acting a certain way to

364
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:53.000
someone who is not who is not a representation of

365
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:57.640
the kingdom. We are to be able to be the

366
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.559
different person. We are to make, make the difference to

367
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.599
that one person. Because even the Bible says it very clearly.

368
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.000
If you're going to bring your tithes and offerings and

369
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:17.759
you are mad at your brother, leave leave the gift

370
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.200
at the altar, and go back and take care of business.

371
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.799
And this is where we have to understand that if

372
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:35.480
we're going to emulate imitate anyone, why not imitate the

373
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:41.599
one who loved us first? Being able to love one

374
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:47.839
person more. You're going to be able to demonstrate grace

375
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.599
and the mercy that's given to us each and every day.

376
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:59.200
This is why knowing the Bible, understanding the Bible, studying

377
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.960
the Bible will reveal these things to you. You can

378
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:08.960
add into your life and make the difference. This world

379
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:16.799
is too harsh, too cold to it's about me mentality. No, no,

380
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:22.920
it's not about us. It's about serving. Because Christ stepped

381
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:28.319
down from the throne to serve, to be the example.

382
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.920
That's what we must emulate, to be the example, not

383
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.000
to make the difference. Because Christ makes the difference, we

384
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:45.000
are to be serving his children. That was the commandment

385
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:50.039
he gave us. He said go make disciples. Didn't say

386
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:55.039
judge the judge people like I'm supposed. No, even Christ

387
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:59.759
didn't judge when he was walking in his ministry. So

388
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.440
that that's something that I just wanted to leave off

389
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.559
because that was something that was pressing on my heart

390
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.759
and wanted to share it with all of you.

391
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.960
Amen. And speaking of Jesus, he knew from day one.

392
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.640
I don't know if it was at age twelve God

393
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.720
revealed it to him or at age thirty thirty three,

394
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.799
but he had to train Judas, he still had to

395
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.319
love Judas. He still had to because the Bible has

396
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.240
to fulfill itself. And that's another reason why I want

397
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.400
to encourage people to study your word.

398
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.839
Go grab a one year Bible, if you have to go.

399
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:39.440
It will not only talk about what's to come, but

400
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.680
it also tells you, gives you, It tells.

401
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.519
You your power and authority.

402
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.759
When I finally got I read the Bible through four years,

403
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.440
four times, four years in a rope, right behind each other,

404
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.119
wrote notes, and when I finally got it, I was like,

405
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.880
wait a minute, I have power and authority to walk

406
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:01.000
on the serpent's head.

407
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:09.200
I have power and I have authority. Oh my God.

408
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.240
And Jesus said this, And then I just soon discovered

409
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:16.279
every anything I was going through, any question I had

410
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.319
about life, I can now.

411
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.440
This is before Google.

412
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.880
I can go through the concordance and the Greek and

413
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.880
Hebrew language. Learned the Greek and Hebrew and said, oh

414
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.720
that word meant that.

415
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.319
That's not the American word that we know today. That's

416
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.359
not the American definition. Oh my god, that's Hebrew for that.

417
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:40.039
Oh wow, okay, okay, you know, just stop everything, stop

418
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.359
the press, stop it right now.

419
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.160
Wow, and you're.

420
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:46.519
Gonna learn, so don't let the Bible intimidate you. There's

421
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.079
all kinds of Bibles out there that you could go.

422
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:54.279
Get a teenage Bible. I've given those out to adults

423
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.039
because they were so afraid of the word of the

424
00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:59.480
Bible and try and think it. No, it's no way

425
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.119
I can underst Well, here's a teenage Bible. I'm not

426
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.799
insulting you, but study from this and it changed their lives.

427
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:10.000
It changed their lives.

428
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.119
I'm encouraging grandparents who your kids, your adult kids. You know,

429
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.400
kind of leave the kids with you or they everything.

430
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:22.039
They don't even ask you, have a Bible study with them.

431
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.359
Get them some pizza. That's lunch.

432
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.000
Okay, guys, well before we have pizza, before we have lunch,

433
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.240
were gonna have Bible study. We got to teach this

434
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.880
next generation. Nobody's teaching them because, like I said.

435
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.640
There's no Sunday school for kids.

436
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.759
There's no children's church for kids, especially in your non

437
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:42.440
denominational churches. And then your regular ones that you're retiring

438
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.359
your seniors because you feel that too old they need.

439
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.480
A chair to sit down, and they're not too old.

440
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.880
I'm going to minister to a memory care facility slash

441
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.160
assistant living in a couple of days. And I was

442
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.519
just gonna give them some words of encouragement. I got

443
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.200
the call back, No, we need you to minister and

444
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:05.759
we need you to pray. So here we go, Here

445
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.359
we go. Now, I want to just divert just a

446
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.599
little bit because there may be some folks out there

447
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.759
that own their own business and you have a board

448
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.960
of directors. Make sure the folks that you ask to

449
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:19.039
be on your board are active people. They're willing to

450
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:24.240
be active. I don't like paying, asking my board of

451
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:27.200
directors to pay. That's a new thing out there. I

452
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:28.079
don't like that.

453
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.279
Because that will turn me off. If you're going to

454
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:31.880
ask me to pay it to be on your board.

455
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.000
And I've got to bring up I'm bringing all my

456
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.279
resources with me. I'm bringing all my suggestions with me

457
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.119
to make sure your business does well, your organization does well.

458
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.960
So I have a huge problem with a paying board,

459
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.039
I really do. And I don't support that at all.

460
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.000
But you want to active board, and you always want

461
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:53.119
a deputy or police officer on your board, and you

462
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.440
always want an accountant on your board. Now, you eventually

463
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.799
have to pay the accountant, so they have no vote,

464
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.000
no voting privilege.

465
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.759
But you want to active people an accountant or a

466
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.559
CPA on your board. You know, I also have an

467
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.839
advisory council. I have a board of directors that I

468
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.880
have an advisory council as well, because those folks.

469
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:13.880
I can just pick up the phone and let me

470
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:15.640
what do you think about this? You think this is

471
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.079
what the seniors are dealing with. Are the folks who

472
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.720
are wheelchair bound, you know, and they're gonna give me

473
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:23.480
what's going on out there in different cities, in different countries.

474
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.920
So I wanted to do that.

475
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:31.279
Social media, make sure if you are a nonprofit organization

476
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.119
or a for profit organization on your social media. You

477
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.359
need to have all of your commissioners and you're mayor

478
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:43.160
of your town social media. You need to be on

479
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.920
that scene where they're gonna be what they're doing. Are

480
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.319
they gonna have back to school events? Are they gonna

481
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.160
have hurricane and no sales tax events and all that

482
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.799
kind of stuff.

483
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:53.480
It don't matter that you don't.

484
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.160
Vote for them, but they're in office, if they've been elected,

485
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.440
you need to be on everybody's social media. If you

486
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.079
run a business, because you need to see where everybody's

487
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.599
at and what they're doing. They are announced funding, They announced,

488
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.839
you know, grant monies and grant opportunities and all that

489
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:13.200
kind of stuff. They announced that on their page. So

490
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:14.680
you need to do that. But I want to go

491
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:19.079
back that still get resources for success, you know, don't

492
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:26.240
be afraid to ask for help. A lot of things

493
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.039
have changed. Laws as we.

494
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:31.759
Know it have changed. They're getting ready to change again

495
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:34.839
October first, because that's the new fit. That's the fiscal.

496
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.359
Year, and a lot of federal and state and regional

497
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:45.039
agencies and governing entities that make decisions. And now that

498
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:47.599
we've got this election coming up, we don't know what's

499
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:48.640
getting ready to jump.

500
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.759
So you need to be aware. You need to be aware.

501
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.480
I was driving the oldest son and I we were

502
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:57.519
driving by I left my office. We had to do

503
00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:59.599
some things over there, and I left my office and

504
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.519
I saw these the small group of people.

505
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.599
The board members get paid, not paid for things. Board

506
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.519
members aren't stockholders, aren't they It depends on how you

507
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.039
set it up, Mickey. It depends on how you set

508
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.599
it up. I don't even get into all of that.

509
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:17.079
I try to make it as simple as possible, you know,

510
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.680
you know, getting stock and all that kind of stuff.

511
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:22.200
I don't, but you kid, there are some who are

512
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.519
sophisticated enough to do that. So we're driving by and

513
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.160
key Keys is a breakfast now here, and it's in

514
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.039
several places and this and the only reason why I

515
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:35.720
knew it was in this particular place.

516
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.759
Near my office was that there was a crowd of

517
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.440
people with signs outside of key Keys. And I'm like, well,

518
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:42.640
what are they doing?

519
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:43.359
You know?

520
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.599
Okay? So I came home and it was still on

521
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:51.599
my mind, so I googled it while Google. Customers boycotting

522
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:54.920
on picketing at KEK excuse me, guys.

523
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.799
And it's because some pet laws and stuff they're not

524
00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.319
adhered to.

525
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.480
They're not really relaxed.

526
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.960
They suppose I don't know if it's allowing pets and

527
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.039
or some kind of something dealing with pets, and they

528
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:08.400
not adhere to it.

529
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.119
So people are pickting them. Excuse me. So I'm like, oh, okay,

530
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.119
that's interesting.

531
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:19.960
Be aware of your surroundings, but don't be afraid to

532
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.680
ask for help.

533
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.599
There are times I.

534
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.000
Call on some folks and I'm like, you know what, please,

535
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:25.920
I was just talking to my spiritual So I said,

536
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.559
if I'm asking, if I'm repeating myself, please forgive me.

537
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.119
You know my flesh is trying to play with me now.

538
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:35.319
And if I've asked this before, can you give any

539
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.720
answer and put in the text so I can remember it,

540
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:39.640
so I let people know.

541
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.079
If you hear this before, stop me gently? Stop me gently?

542
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.839
Now you know you said that? All righty?

543
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:52.160
Wait man, who are raising your voice to what you're

544
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.240
yelling for? I just said so gently? Remind me, Hey,

545
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.279
we did talk about that.

546
00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:58.559
Oh okay, I'll stop.

547
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.359
Right there in the midst of it. But don't be

548
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:08.000
afraid to ask for help. I still ask for help.

549
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:11.839
Or were you aware of this? What are you thinking

550
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:13.920
about this? Which way you think that's going to go?

551
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:16.440
If I want to hear that, you know somebody else

552
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:25.119
is opinion. Come on, y'all jump in here now you're

553
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:34.240
looking at each other. That's one game I don't understand twin.

554
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:38.000
Yeah, I'll never get that, and now I can't.

555
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:46.799
So you definitely bring up a very good point, because

556
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.000
that's that to me is it's so essential.

557
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:57.839
It's so essential too. And that's also I'm believing I'm

558
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.960
I'm a firm believer. That's also a sign of I'm

559
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.359
because we we're not meant to know it everything. That's

560
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:13.559
why we're called high Night. That means that we don't

561
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:18.480
know it all and and you know we we There

562
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:23.840
are people that have gone through certain things and they

563
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:26.480
know how to overcome it, they know how to work

564
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:30.599
through it. And the way you approach them is, you know,

565
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.840
I'm facing this situation, and have you experience it? And

566
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:40.639
if they say yes, then will explain what they did.

567
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:40.920
You know.

568
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:44.320
I just recently this past weekend, I was talking to

569
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:50.519
a family member of mine and he's going through something

570
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:56.280
that I went through in twenty eleven. And when we

571
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:59.000
were talking about it, it was a whole it was

572
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:03.159
a whole different conversation. When I said, I know what

573
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:08.960
you are experiencing because that's what I went through. This

574
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:12.559
is how I was confronted with it, which sounds very

575
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:16.000
similar to what you're going through. But here is where

576
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:22.199
it comes in very handy or or it really caught

577
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.239
his attention was when I told him, I said, look

578
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:29.280
what you did was very good. You're turning the page,

579
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:34.119
you're starting all over, you're giving you're leaving all the

580
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:38.960
material things behind because you know that it's it's just

581
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.360
material things that you can gain back later on. But

582
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.079
then I told him, I said, but I want you

583
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.840
to be prepared. Your first two to three years are

584
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.880
going to be the toughest that you're ever going to

585
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:58.920
experience in your life. Just when you think things are

586
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:03.039
going to get good, believe me, it's going to get

587
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.559
ugly within a blink of an eye. And then all

588
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.000
of a sudden you start to get depressed. And then

589
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.039
all of a sudden you start to get this discouraged,

590
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.519
and before you know it, you're going to start doing

591
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:18.480
the old things and you're gonna say, how did I

592
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:25.000
wind up here? Got to understand, excuse me? You have

593
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:31.079
to be prepared, especially because because you know what needs

594
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.199
to be done, You know that what you're going to

595
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:37.199
do is write. You're going to have the obstacles. And

596
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.800
I'll call it the crab theory. When you put crabs

597
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:43.760
into a boiling pot of water, some are going to

598
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.840
want to escape, but then those crabs that are in

599
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.159
there are pulling them down back into the pot. And

600
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:56.679
that's how that's what happens. And the theological word for

601
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:01.480
that is called stronghold. And this is where we have

602
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.599
to be able to understand that it's because we made

603
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.800
excuse me, Just because we made that decision doesn't mean

604
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:16.840
that you're home. You're home free. No fight. You have

605
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.360
to fight. You have to fight for what you're going

606
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:25.280
after to improve. And once you finally get through that,

607
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.280
once you break the barrier, similar to a rocket breaking

608
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:35.519
the atmosphere when it's taking off, then things will become

609
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.000
clear and you become more aware and you become more prepared.

610
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.920
And that's why it's so essential that if you need help,

611
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.320
reach out. And I always say submit to Christ, because

612
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:56.079
once you submit to Christ, then those people that will

613
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:59.079
get you through it, He's going to put them into

614
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:03.239
your path by you being aware of it. You're gonna say.

615
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.880
And you're right, and and Charles, hey, Charles, you're right.

616
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.119
They don't want to hear it, and and that's okay.

617
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.719
And that's when you walk away. You don't persist, you don't,

618
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:17.599
you don't, don't try. You've brought them to the you

619
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:20.840
brought them to the watering hole. You can't make everybody drink.

620
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.480
And it's okay as long as you can live with

621
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.159
yourself and say, you know what. By the end, of

622
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:27.679
the day, at the end of the day, at.

623
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.199
The end of the hour.

624
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.760
I did what I was supposed to do. It's not

625
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:33.880
about get collecting numbers and and oh look what I

626
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:35.760
got this, and I got that. I I see that

627
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.320
that I message. You have to be careful about that.

628
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:40.360
They don't have to want to hear it.

629
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:43.320
Now. Once upon a time I would when God will

630
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:44.280
have me to go to.

631
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.719
Minister the people, and I'll start off by saying something like,

632
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:50.599
you know, I hear the Lord say, you know, I

633
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.719
hear the Lord say.

634
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.599
Now, it's like the Lord told me to tell you this,

635
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:56.719
this and this. And they're like, how did you know that?

636
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.960
I said, I don't. He knows you. I know him.

637
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:04.119
I'm done. I walk away from it, and I'm so

638
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.559
glad he helps me to forget about it because I've

639
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:07.320
got folks.

640
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.920
God there said, well, I told you remember what five

641
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.000
years ago? I said, I've known you for five years.

642
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:13.159
I'm still stuck right there.

643
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.119
I've known you for five years. I don't know what

644
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.679
you said to me five minutes ago.

645
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:19.079
And I'm so glad I tried. But if they don't

646
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:21.400
want to listen, I know at least I tried it. Yeah,

647
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:22.320
you do it country.

648
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.559
See if the Lord is if it's on your heart.

649
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.880
You make that call. You can send that text. And

650
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:33.440
don't expect how we know you're growing. You don't expect

651
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.880
nothing in return. If you don't ever hear that person,

652
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.280
hear back from that person, if they don't ever think thank.

653
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:43.360
You or anything. You did what you're supposed to do.

654
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:44.760
And that's what God is looking.

655
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.599
He's looking for a man that will stand. I'm looking

656
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:50.039
for somebody I could trust. I don't know why. All

657
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:54.039
day to day was reminded of Jesus and the Saddest

658
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:56.039
See and the Pharisees, and they were talking about we

659
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.719
don't do work on the Sabbath, and you're going around

660
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.239
healing people and and you, we don't do this, and

661
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.679
we tied, and Jesus said, yeah, I know you tied,

662
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:04.360
but I.

663
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:12.880
Don't know you. I don't know you. So you could

664
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.519
go in and fluff all you get your big chest, all.

665
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.440
You want to get, the latest Bible, get the latest cross,

666
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.800
look all deep and everything, but you can't even get

667
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.760
a prayer through your ceiling. I got a problem with you.

668
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:28.280
I got a problem with it.

669
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:34.559
My Jesus don't know you he don't know you, So

670
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.079
we're gonna deliver the word. You want to be in

671
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.719
the right standing with God. So if he tells you, Charles,

672
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.639
if hey, I gotta talk to miss Gray, I got

673
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:44.000
I gotta say something to her.

674
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.840
You find me. My phone numbers down there, you find me,

675
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:51.039
call me. My life is not my own.

676
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.360
I'm asking for new intercessors and new prayer warriors.

677
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.719
In my life. That's some of my folks have fallen asleep.

678
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:02.440
They can't handle stuff out there, and I'm getting hit unnecessarily.

679
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:06.800
You find that. You whatever trade trade knows.

680
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:08.519
If I said, be y'all know, if you got something

681
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:10.199
you need to say to me, you better find me.

682
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.920
Oh, I thought you were a bit. Don't They don't

683
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.000
even say that to me anymore. Oh I thought you

684
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:15.280
a bit.

685
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:17.360
I don't say that. Don't let that come out of

686
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.159
your mind, because I'm never busy. I just make you

687
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:22.000
think I'm busy. I know how to do that very well.

688
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.159
I got the choking in the neighbor of Jesus, catching

689
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:33.519
Lord angels. Getting that. Okay, you all right, do the

690
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:34.639
cpr angels.

691
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:39.159
We can't get to you.

692
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.519
Oh my god, Yeah, you's so right.

693
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:44.960
I tell you you your the arms lag, you know,

694
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:48.199
a phone call away.

695
00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:52.360
You know, I've done it. Continue to do it? Be

696
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:54.360
like what not forty five?

697
00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:55.360
By time? What time?

698
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:55.559
Is that?

699
00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:03.280
Same way? Yeah, you have to find. You have to

700
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.840
find those people that are in your corner. But sometimes

701
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.719
if you have a conversation.

702
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:13.079
With people, they might not know someone, but they know

703
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:14.199
someone that knows someone.

704
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.320
And so that's how you build resources. And it's good

705
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:18.440
to connect, you know.

706
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:23.719
I love collaboration and partnerships and I love linking folks.

707
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:25.719
You know, when I have conversations.

708
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.920
With people, say, you know what I know somebody just y'all.

709
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.760
I need y'all to just to meet, you know, just

710
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.639
just to meet because you have so much in common.

711
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:42.400
I've done that before you but this person okay, yeah,

712
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.199
it is the leak.

713
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:45.119
I love it.

714
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:48.760
And it's it's like you grow because you learn and

715
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:52.719
everybody's experiences are different. And just to expound on that, no,

716
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:56.039
you can't. You can't always make people want to listen

717
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.519
to you. You just continue to do what you do,

718
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.599
do what you think is right, and don't go in

719
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.039
thinking that you're gonna get something out of it. It

720
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.480
makes me feel when I've imparted something that I think

721
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:11.159
is pretty good.

722
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:14.400
I don't look for anything back, but you know, God

723
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:15.800
is good. It comes back something.

724
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.159
You know, read what you saw and I believe that

725
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.039
you know, so just keep keep doing that.

726
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.559
I remember when I was working as a cameo actor

727
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:27.519
at the History of the Lord has reminded me of

728
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.599
showing me this. When I a cameo actor at our

729
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.159
History Center here in Orlando from I portrayed doctor Mary

730
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:39.159
MacLeod Bethune, who's the founder of Mathune Cookman College out

731
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:43.360
of Daytona Beach. And one of my I had lived

732
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:47.079
my script and because I had freedom on my of

733
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:49.800
the information that I shared, and one of them was

734
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.760
when I got started, I'll say who's the teacher, and

735
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.360
the students will like, oh, she's Oh, he's a teacher.

736
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:57.719
I said, well, let's give him a round of applause

737
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.280
because he or she doing things that's gonna make you

738
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:05.519
want to learn, that's going to increase and motivate you,

739
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:09.760
and we you will probably never say thank you, So

740
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:11.360
let's say thank you, mister.

741
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.840
And they do it. They do it, And I said,

742
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.320
you teachers, you will go down in history.

743
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:20.679
And then I would ask the adults in the audience,

744
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.480
the volunteers, and the teacher throw out a person, a

745
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:25.400
teacher that made a.

746
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.800
Difference in your life. You know them, you know them.

747
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:31.280
Oh, miss Smith is sick, third grade coach, coach Ryan

748
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:33.559
and you know for football, I.

749
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:34.519
Mean all over the place.

750
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:39.159
So as teachers, we will always be remembered in the archives.

751
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:40.199
So but I would have.

752
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.800
The students say thank you to this teacher and thank

753
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.800
you to the volunteers that came out today, because they're

754
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:50.159
not thinking about that. And you will see the body

755
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:55.159
language of the folks be like, oh wow, okay, oh wow.

756
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:00.280
So we want you to be encouraged. We need to

757
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:03.360
stay safe out there. We need you to always continue

758
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.719
to want to grow, want to be better, want to

759
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.079
get better, not becoming know it all, not become the

760
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:11.000
Yellow Pages.

761
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:12.960
No, but you know things.

762
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.239
And I take pride in knowing things, not only because

763
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:19.400
it's been my career, but because people will come up

764
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.519
and ask me. I could be in win Dixie. I

765
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:23.639
have on a red shirt. They come, okay, you tell

766
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:25.039

767
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:27.760
work it, but actually it's on our three I just passed.

768
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:31.440
Just little things like that just little things like that.

769
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:34.519

770
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:35.079

We will have a repeated show on just to let

you for just sharing your heart tonight, because.

You know, sometimes I can't speak with my co host,

777
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:53.559
but you know that time is getting ready to round

778
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:56.000
a round where it's time to be thinking if we're

779
00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:57.840
going to re up the show and everything, and that's

780
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:01.280
always a decision, and always that so much a decision.

781
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:03.000
I have to pray about it and see what God

782
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.440
would have us to do. So thank you for just

783
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.199
giving us this shout out. We have over one hundred

784
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.079
and fifty almost one hundred and eighty followers now.

785
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.000
Going into year three. I'm fine with that.

786
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.960
I know we're changing lives and that's what it's all about.

787
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:21.239
So you know, just please be happy. Determine yourself to

788
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:25.360
be happy. Find that happiness not in another person, but

789
00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:26.079
in yourself.

790
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:30.320
I have the guy find concentrations yesterday at the store.

791
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.719
There you go, cut you see, there you go, because

792
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:36.760
it's really none of these stuff. There you go.

793
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.800
That's what I'm talking about. But anyway, that's our time.
