in Jesus's name. Amen and amen. Amen. I'll be right back.

43
00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:54.300
I got to give some instruction here. All right, because Ms.

44
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.750
Jazz wanted to be on the spotlight, but no, we

45
00:02:56.789 --> 00:03:00.210
just don't have enough camera space, okay? There we go. Well,

46
00:03:00.330 --> 00:03:02.050
we've got a lot of things we want to get

47
00:03:02.090 --> 00:03:04.750
to tonight, but I want to give a shout out. Hopefully,

48
00:03:04.770 --> 00:03:05.460
my special guest.

49
00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:06.280
Now, y'all, come on.

50
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.840
Roll call. Come on. I need Tennessee in the house.

51
00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:14.060
I need Orlando in the house. I need Washington. I

52
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.169
need Mississippi. We need to Louisiana. We need the Caribbean.

53
00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:23.310
Come on. Check in. Check in. World call. OK, we

54
00:03:23.349 --> 00:03:25.620
had my daughter and I had a great weekend this weekend.

55
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.699
We went over to our favorite farmer's market and we

56
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.919
saw and we met some new people. And so I

57
00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:34.039
want to give a shout out to Black Orchid, which

58
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.439
is a young lady. that sells a lot of oils,

59
00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:40.280
a lot of nice smelling stuff. And it wasn't loud,

60
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.419
you know, like you see people coming, you smell them

61
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.740
before you see them. Very subtle oils and things like that.

62
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.370
So very reasonable. So we love her. And we want

63
00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:50.069
to give a shout out to Black Orchid. I want

64
00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:53.990
to give a shout out to 2J' s, my seafood person,

65
00:03:54.669 --> 00:03:57.409
who just seems like, where have y'all been? You know,

66
00:03:57.449 --> 00:03:59.310
and I love it when people recognize you, you know,

67
00:03:59.770 --> 00:04:01.669
and everything. And people are looking around like, who is

68
00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:04.150
he talking to, you know? Like, oh, they know him.

69
00:04:04.189 --> 00:04:07.050
We don't know. No, we don't like y'all do. So

70
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:09.759
we loaded up on our seafood, which was all good stuff.

71
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:14.719
So we're thankful for him. And also my gentleman in

72
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.689
my farmer coming out of a city that's about three

73
00:04:19.730 --> 00:04:22.350
hours away. But I've got a farmer. We've got us

74
00:04:22.410 --> 00:04:25.370
a farmer. And we're starting a conversation on his needs

75
00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.069
and things like that. So we're just looking forward to that.

76
00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:30.209
And we're just thankful. We also met another gentleman that

77
00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:34.629
he's retired and He likes to make little dog trays,

78
00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:36.550
you know, stand up the ones that are off the

79
00:04:36.589 --> 00:04:38.610
ground and everything. And I wanted to get my dog.

80
00:04:38.649 --> 00:04:41.009
I wanted to get you as one. And but I

81
00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:42.370
saw this when I was like, oh, my God, he

82
00:04:42.389 --> 00:04:45.550
reminded me of my dad who made these out of

83
00:04:45.810 --> 00:04:50.060
he made tables out of refurbished doors. and it looked

84
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.279
like a kidney bean that's the way it was shaped

85
00:04:52.899 --> 00:04:55.500
um uh he he made my bookcase and stuff you

86
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.779
know and stuff talking about my dad uh so it

87
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.500
brought back those memories and i had to get one

88
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.970
and he put a little varnish on it so it

89
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:04.009
could you know shine and she enjoys it but my

90
00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:06.670
dog is very adaptable to whatever we put in front

91
00:05:06.709 --> 00:05:08.910
of her so we're just thankful for that but yes

92
00:05:09.129 --> 00:05:12.779
um to uh the farmer's market in uh claremont if

93
00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:15.720
you all come to orlando to visit it Or Kissimmee,

94
00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:18.990
I definitely would invite you. They only open on Sundays.

95
00:05:19.410 --> 00:05:23.709
We invite you to go. Good evening, Misty. We, you know,

96
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.860
so it's real and it's, you know, very good hearted people.

97
00:05:27.899 --> 00:05:29.939
And they're just. trying to sell their stuff. And that's

98
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.759
what we're telling you all. If you're an entrepreneur, and

99
00:05:32.790 --> 00:05:34.930
you may not, let me correct myself. You may not

100
00:05:35.009 --> 00:05:37.670
want to be an entrepreneur. You may not want to be,

101
00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:40.350
or you may not see yourself as a business person,

102
00:05:41.069 --> 00:05:43.930
but you've got an idea. Oh, I forgot about these nuts.

103
00:05:44.009 --> 00:05:47.750
Speaking of ideas, you won't believe this. These folks, yeah,

104
00:05:47.850 --> 00:05:52.649
it's these nuts, literally. They got a T-shirt. It was

105
00:05:53.189 --> 00:05:58.300
it was it's boiled peanuts, but they put turkey and potatoes.

106
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.279
Miss Kay, help me out here. And like the one

107
00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:06.240
I got was turkey. They they marinate in the white potatoes, peanuts,

108
00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:08.920
and they boil the peanuts and they all got all

109
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.220
this turkey neck meat in it. What else, Miss Kay,

110
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.730
they had? Corn and acid. Yeah. And one and one

111
00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:20.139
of the she had the Cajun one. But oh, my God,

112
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.600
you talk about something good. Now, I don't know how

113
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:25.019
many of you all like boiled peanuts. Those are going

114
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.600
back in the day when we had the good evening

115
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.129
of the Cajun. You know, I'm telling you. And I

116
00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:33.550
was teasing them and saying, you know, y'all need y'all

117
00:06:33.589 --> 00:06:36.230
ready for Top Chef. And I think that the female

118
00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:38.189
owner said, you know, what about my other stuff? And

119
00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:39.490
I'm like, I don't know about the other stuff. I

120
00:06:39.509 --> 00:06:42.139
just know about these boiled peanuts, you know. But, I mean,

121
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.819
that's very creative. Who would have thought to boil your

122
00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:48.399
peanuts and then throw some turkey neck meat in there?

123
00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:52.180
I mean, it's a common thing, though. When? Okay, I've

124
00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:54.930
been missing it then. I don't know. But I think,

125
00:06:55.050 --> 00:06:58.449
you know, it was very creative. They cater. You can

126
00:06:58.490 --> 00:07:02.850
have those little cups and stuff. Hey, thank you. You know,

127
00:07:03.089 --> 00:07:07.740
all right, brother Steve. Thank you. You know, it's just

128
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.079
really innovative and it's a quick little snack and everything

129
00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:14.120
else like that. And man, you got your protein in there.

130
00:07:14.139 --> 00:07:17.259
You got your starch and you got your peanuts. You know,

131
00:07:17.310 --> 00:07:18.939
hats off to them, but I wanted to give them

132
00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:23.649
a shout out, definitely. We had some requests for scriptures,

133
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:25.930
and so we're going to go into that. But before

134
00:07:25.990 --> 00:07:29.290
I do this, I've got to tell you this. There's

135
00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:32.610
a phrase, a statement that's going around now, and now

136
00:07:32.709 --> 00:07:35.930
it's made its way to the reality shows, one or two,

137
00:07:36.370 --> 00:07:38.529
that I listen, one in particular I listen to. And

138
00:07:38.990 --> 00:07:41.350
the young lady, one of the characters said it, and

139
00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:44.029
I was like, huh? And the phrase was, I'm going

140
00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:46.610
to give you grace. I got to stop you right

141
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:52.050
there because human beings cannot give grace. Amen. Thank you, Miss. Yes,

142
00:07:52.089 --> 00:07:56.370
it was very good. Human beings cannot give grace and

143
00:07:56.410 --> 00:07:58.870
you don't have to believe me, but just go to

144
00:07:58.930 --> 00:08:03.870
the dictionary dictionary and look up grace. They've got several.

145
00:08:03.930 --> 00:08:04.290
Okay.

146
00:08:04.410 --> 00:08:07.649
Why did that jump like that? Um, hang on guys.

147
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:11.509
I'm coming back. Come on. So you're just being really okay.

148
00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:14.509
Now we got evergreen on there. Okay. That's real cute. Um,

149
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.730
Human beings cannot give grace because we didn't die on

150
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:21.939
a cross for the world's sins. We cannot give grace.

151
00:08:21.949 --> 00:08:24.689
And that's a new buzzword that's going around saying, I

152
00:08:24.730 --> 00:08:28.040
want to give this person grace. No, only God can

153
00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:31.699
give grace. And the dictionary agrees with me. Check this out.

154
00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:37.759
The first definition and number three is Christianity. God-given help

155
00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:42.299
or kindness. Give thanks to God. Give thanks for God's grace.

156
00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:48.169
God-given help or kindness. Letter B, a state of acceptance

157
00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:52.289
by God, a state of being grateful. pleasing to God.

158
00:08:52.590 --> 00:08:56.480
Don't say nothing about humans. Letter C, a God-given virtue,

159
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.559
a God-given virtue. And then number four, a short prayer

160
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.460
before a meal. And it's got other things in there too,

161
00:09:04.539 --> 00:09:08.490
but you know, but human beings, so please don't do that.

162
00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:12.590
Don't say that. We can give what? Compassion. We can

163
00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:15.850
give what? Empathy. We can give what?

164
00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:16.870
Sympathy.

165
00:09:16.889 --> 00:09:19.549
Okay. We can also give you time. We're not in

166
00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:21.350
charge of time, but I'll give you time to make

167
00:09:21.389 --> 00:09:23.490
up your mind. I'll give you, and God gives us

168
00:09:23.570 --> 00:09:28.529
time to repent for our sins. He gives us time, okay?

169
00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:32.039
But after a while, that time draws near. So please

170
00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:36.059
don't do that. Don't say that. We cannot give grace

171
00:09:36.419 --> 00:09:40.940
to anybody, okay? That's not ours to give. We can't

172
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.100
give favor to people. Like I said, we could do empathy.

173
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.029
We could do sympathy. We could do compassion. And in

174
00:09:46.049 --> 00:09:48.580
some cases we can give you time, but I cannot

175
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.559
give you grace and you cannot give me grace. It's

176
00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:55.120
a God-given virtue, okay? So that's one thing I want

177
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.490
to say before we go into, you know, I want

178
00:09:58.509 --> 00:10:01.240
to go into the topic some of the scriptures that

179
00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:04.360
we got. John 14 and 6, is it okay to

180
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.179
give a blessing? You can say, Mickey, you know, God

181
00:10:07.230 --> 00:10:09.740
bless you. I know a lot of people... will say,

182
00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:12.919
I'll give a seed offering. I've blessed you all, but

183
00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:16.519
that's God telling me to do that. Okay. I'd be

184
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.240
a little careful. Just say, God bless you. May God

185
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.980
bless you. God bless you. You know, blessings upon you,

186
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.039
but we can't give that. We can say it and

187
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:28.110
we can mean it. I prayed. I pray. We pray

188
00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:30.450
for you all. We pray that you get blessed. We

189
00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:33.789
pray that you have peace. We pray that you get healed. That's,

190
00:10:33.850 --> 00:10:36.230
that's what our job, our job. That's your job. Like

191
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:38.830
you all pray for us. We pray for you. And

192
00:10:38.850 --> 00:10:42.450
may God bless you. You know, my ending salutation on

193
00:10:42.470 --> 00:10:45.110
my email is blessed and the letter N and ready.

194
00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:47.480
I'm blessed and ready because, you know, we always raise,

195
00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.039
we have to say sincerely. Well, guess what? We don't

196
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.179
have to. Who says who? So my ending is blessed

197
00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:57.440
and ready because I'm blessed and I'm ready. Locked and loaded.

198
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.120
Let's go. Amen. And that really disturbs some people. They're like, well,

199
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.639
you really are blessed and ready. Anyway, let's go to

200
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.669
John chapter 14, verse 6. It reads, Jesus says unto him,

201
00:11:09.950 --> 00:11:12.809
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No

202
00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:16.429
man cometh unto the Father but by me. And that

203
00:11:16.669 --> 00:11:20.509
is as plain as it can get. Jesus is saying,

204
00:11:21.289 --> 00:11:23.509
if you want to get to God, you got to

205
00:11:23.549 --> 00:11:27.850
believe on me. And for those of you who, good evening,

206
00:11:27.929 --> 00:11:31.370
good evening, good evening. Thank you. See, blessings to you all.

207
00:11:31.570 --> 00:11:34.980
We can do that. Blessings to you all. You know

208
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.480
that person?

209
00:11:36.029 --> 00:11:37.850
Yeah. Virginia.

210
00:11:38.330 --> 00:11:43.330
Yes. Amen. Amen. All right. So now I know you're

211
00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:46.460
probably saying, OK, but let's go to see what God

212
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.980
says about his son. I know you all were thinking

213
00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:53.100
that already. So God already had it ready. And Genesis

214
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:58.059
chapter three, verse fifteen. And I will put enmity between

215
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.809
thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed.

216
00:12:01.169 --> 00:12:04.789
It shall bruise that head and it shall bruise his heel. Okay.

217
00:12:04.909 --> 00:12:08.450
That's three, three and 15. Yeah. Okay. So God is

218
00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:11.750
talking about, you know, I'm going to put enmity between

219
00:12:11.789 --> 00:12:16.200
you and the devil basically. And the woman who's giving birth,

220
00:12:16.629 --> 00:12:21.460
he's referring to Mary giving birth to Jesus. Okay. Uh,

221
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.980
let's go to another one here. Um, there's a, there's

222
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.470
a lot, um, And what I'll do on the Setting

223
00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:29.690
It Straight Facebook page, I'll list all these scriptures for

224
00:12:29.710 --> 00:12:31.490
you because there are a lot. But I want to

225
00:12:31.889 --> 00:12:35.190
give you an idea that God does say this. 2

226
00:12:35.190 --> 00:12:40.649
Samuel 7, verses 12 through 16, where he acknowledges that

227
00:12:40.750 --> 00:12:44.629
Jesus is his son. Okay, here we go. And when

228
00:12:44.649 --> 00:12:47.730
thy days be fulfilled and thou shall sleep with thy fathers,

229
00:12:48.149 --> 00:12:51.149
I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall

230
00:12:51.210 --> 00:12:54.710
proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

231
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.730
Go to 16. He shall build a house for my name,

232
00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:01.370
and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

233
00:13:01.950 --> 00:13:04.250
I will be his father, and he will be my son.

234
00:13:04.690 --> 00:13:06.970
If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the

235
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:09.610
rod of men, and with the stripes of the children

236
00:13:09.669 --> 00:13:14.279
of men. Sound familiar? Jesus was beaten, okay, for our iniquity.

237
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.139
But by my mercy shall not depart away from him,

238
00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:20.960
as I took it from Saul, whom I put away

239
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.860
from thee, okay? So, God is saying, no, my son

240
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:28.259
is coming. And he talks in some cases in the

241
00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:31.659
New Testament. God speaks of the Messiah that's coming. And

242
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.620
like I said, there's several scriptures. Let me go to

243
00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:37.970
New Testament real quick. Hebrews. I hope this is helping

244
00:13:38.129 --> 00:13:40.909
because I'm not sure what it was that the young

245
00:13:40.970 --> 00:13:44.629
person wanted as far as clarity. So I'm doing my

246
00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:48.409
best here. But unto the son, he said, thy throne,

247
00:13:48.490 --> 00:13:51.370
O God, is forever and ever. And the scepter of

248
00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:54.509
righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. Jesus is saying,

249
00:13:54.529 --> 00:13:57.090
you know, unto the son, he said, thy throne, O God.

250
00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.889
And again, the most precious chapter in the New Testament

251
00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:04.600
of a conversation between a son and his father is chapter,

252
00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:07.700
is the book of John chapter 17. You have to

253
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.950
read it first and then go back and study it.

254
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.240
But Jesus is making it very clear. Again, I didn't

255
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.259
come for the world. I came for those who you

256
00:14:16.330 --> 00:14:18.730
chose and you told me to go get and to

257
00:14:18.789 --> 00:14:22.220
bring to you. And that's what I'm doing. Another scripture

258
00:14:22.289 --> 00:14:25.919
popped up today. Deuteronomy 28. You all know how I

259
00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:30.799
feel about Deuteronomy 28. Deuteronomy is the only is one

260
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:34.179
of the books that is referred to as the curse,

261
00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:38.450
the blessing and the curses. Chapter verses 1 through 14

262
00:14:38.450 --> 00:14:42.289
are all the blessings. And it shall come to pass.

263
00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:44.669
If you do, you hearken to the voice of the

264
00:14:44.730 --> 00:14:48.000
Lord to observe and do all of his commandments, which

265
00:14:48.169 --> 00:14:50.960
has been commanded this day. The Lord thy God will

266
00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:53.779
set thee on high above all nations of the earth.

267
00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:56.100
And all of these blessings shall come to thee and

268
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.379
overtake you. If you hearken to the voice of the blessed,

269
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.879
shall you be in the city? Blessed shall you be

270
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.929
in the field? Blessed shall you be? The shall be

271
00:15:04.970 --> 00:15:06.590
the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy

272
00:15:06.649 --> 00:15:09.409
ground and the fruit of thy cattle and the increase

273
00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:12.570
of thy kind and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed

274
00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:15.769
shall be your basket in your store. Blessed shall you

275
00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:19.080
be when you come in and when you go out. OK,

276
00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:21.559
and then he's going, he said, blessings. The Lord shall

277
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.960
cause your enemies that rise up against you to be

278
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.980
smitten before your face. They shall come out against you

279
00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:30.789
one way and they will flee from the seven ways.

280
00:15:31.070 --> 00:15:34.750
The Lord shall command the blessings upon thy and your

281
00:15:34.789 --> 00:15:38.169
storehouses and all that you sell is your hand to do.

282
00:15:38.529 --> 00:15:40.470
And he shall bless thee in the land which the

283
00:15:40.529 --> 00:15:43.809
Lord thy God giveth thee. And you go on to

284
00:15:43.870 --> 00:15:44.200
verse 14.

285
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:44.289
Now.

286
00:15:44.289 --> 00:15:49.929
1 through 14 now are all the blessings. If you

287
00:15:49.950 --> 00:15:52.929
hearken to his voice and you do his commandments, right?

288
00:15:53.389 --> 00:15:57.350
But verses 15 through 68 are the curses. And that

289
00:15:57.370 --> 00:16:01.549
would be your homework. You ought to study Deuteronomy chapter 8,

290
00:16:01.549 --> 00:16:05.259
the whole chapter. Verses 1 through 14 are the blessings.

291
00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:10.250
Verses 15 through 68 are the curses. Okay? Okay? That's

292
00:16:10.309 --> 00:16:13.269
one of my spiritual warfare scriptures. When the enemy comes

293
00:16:13.350 --> 00:16:17.169
after me, I'm going to Deuteronomy 28, 15, and just

294
00:16:17.409 --> 00:16:19.970
let it rip. Let it rip. And I'm telling you,

295
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.860
I know many people have not been taught on spiritual

296
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.360
warfare and about spiritual warfare, but Jesus, that was what

297
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.480
it was about. He said, I come as a two-edged sword.

298
00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:33.620
My word is like a two-edged sword. Do you all,

299
00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:36.399
have you ever dealt with a two-edged sword? What about

300
00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:41.580
some arrows that... Cut going in and a cut coming out.

301
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.419
A two-edged sword does the same thing. It cuts going in. Oh,

302
00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.659
if it's cutting something and you could turn it over

303
00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:50.179
and it's cutting, you go right through it. It cuts

304
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:54.600
going out. Okay. So that's going to be homework. Deuteronomy 28.

305
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.179
I need you to study that. And can you tell

306
00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:01.700
me what is meant by smitten in that verse? You

307
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.500
should be smitten, touched. I don't want to say hit,

308
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.359
but you will be touched. You will be inflicted.

309
00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:06.839
Okay.

310
00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:10.750
Okay. When God talks about this, let me go back

311
00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:14.269
up there. Yeah. Your enemies, they should be smitten before

312
00:17:14.309 --> 00:17:17.150
they will be cast down. And in some cases, God

313
00:17:17.170 --> 00:17:20.130
will expose your enemies to you. Whether it's in the family,

314
00:17:20.549 --> 00:17:23.569
whether it's on the job, whether it's your neighbor, he'll

315
00:17:23.609 --> 00:17:25.740
let you know if he thinks you can handle it.

316
00:17:26.190 --> 00:17:28.859
Some of you can't handle knowing who your real enemies are.

317
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.779
It'll hurt you. It will hurt you to your core.

318
00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:36.730
But smitten means they shall fall before your face. And

319
00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:40.490
that's why I've learned over time that when God severs

320
00:17:40.549 --> 00:17:43.880
me from someone and they've made it clear that they're

321
00:17:43.910 --> 00:17:47.640
my enemy or they're enemy of God, God will separate

322
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.420
you from people so that you won't be, oh my God,

323
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.299
are they okay? Because you're going to hear their fall,

324
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.549
their downfall. That's why you don't have to worry about

325
00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:59.170
hurting anybody. You don't have to worry about laying your

326
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:03.559
hands on somebody. Go to God. God, I'm being mistreated. God,

327
00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:05.900
this person is talking about me and I did nothing.

328
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.759
I don't even know them. They don't know me. Oh,

329
00:18:08.809 --> 00:18:11.369
I'm hated because I was born and I look like

330
00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:14.819
certain people. God, what are we doing? God said, don't

331
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:16.900
worry about it. I got him. And when God says

332
00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:19.450
he got him, It don't matter what he means by that.

333
00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:23.299
That means they're on his radar. And you'll see, and

334
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.160
that's another study you could do. Look up scriptures on

335
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.660
how God deals with the enemy. This is not the

336
00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:33.140
only one. I've got almost 100 scriptures on spiritual warfare.

337
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.660
When I'm in that zone to pray and to pray

338
00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:39.519
against attacks of the enemy, oh, I go to my

339
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:44.490
spiritual warfare chapter and pray the word. That's another reason

340
00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:47.089
why we're encouraging you Not only read the word, but

341
00:18:47.109 --> 00:18:49.450
you got to study the word so that you could

342
00:18:49.569 --> 00:18:52.089
understand it like the folks are asking right now. And

343
00:18:52.130 --> 00:18:55.619
I have no problem with that. Getting a deeper understanding,

344
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.500
getting a deeper understanding. Amen. Now I'm going to pause

345
00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:02.140
for a minute and I'm going to circle back to

346
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.220
self-publishing part two. Ms. Trey, anything you want to add?

347
00:19:06.730 --> 00:19:11.049
I mean, I think with spiritual warfare, just being able

348
00:19:11.089 --> 00:19:14.269
to recognize what that is. You know, sometimes you might think,

349
00:19:14.809 --> 00:19:18.900
you know, It's like everything, and you might blame yourself,

350
00:19:19.390 --> 00:19:22.049
but you have to recognize that, you know, people will

351
00:19:22.089 --> 00:19:24.529
come to you or things will come to you in

352
00:19:24.589 --> 00:19:27.950
different forms or shapes. And you have to recognize what

353
00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:32.119
that is and just being able to be steadfast in

354
00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:35.759
your prayer and your belief. Because, you know, some... You

355
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:38.569
can come on an attack even if you are a believer.

356
00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:41.470
That's when you actually, I think that's when you become

357
00:19:41.509 --> 00:19:44.809
more attacked is when you're a believer and then things

358
00:19:44.849 --> 00:19:48.769
will try to seep in through different methods, you.

359
00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:55.450
Know, people. places, things, events. Yeah, I've definitely been on

360
00:19:55.509 --> 00:19:56.730
a spiritual warfare.

361
00:19:56.750 --> 00:19:56.970
Mm-hmm.

362
00:19:58.809 --> 00:19:59.970
That is not comfortable.

363
00:20:00.470 --> 00:20:03.069
No, it's not. And then there are people who practice witchcraft.

364
00:20:03.509 --> 00:20:07.230
I'm not even talking about them. Because you know what,

365
00:20:07.269 --> 00:20:09.490
you will fall. And don't let me scare you and

366
00:20:09.529 --> 00:20:11.970
think I'm all about killing people, all that. No, I

367
00:20:12.009 --> 00:20:14.569
don't have to touch nobody. All I do now is

368
00:20:14.609 --> 00:20:16.930
I look up to God like, really? And I was

369
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:20.250
just sharing with the pastor the other day, when you

370
00:20:20.289 --> 00:20:23.670
can get it in your mind that God, forget about

371
00:20:23.710 --> 00:20:26.650
the attack for a minute, back off the attack, but

372
00:20:26.730 --> 00:20:29.029
step out of yourself and say, wait a minute, God

373
00:20:29.069 --> 00:20:31.890
allowed this to happen. He knew it was going to happen.

374
00:20:31.910 --> 00:20:33.450
Let me go. He knew it was going to happen.

375
00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:36.869
He allowed it to happen. And guess what? You chose me.

376
00:20:37.769 --> 00:20:40.809
I'm telling you, if you keep at the, as the

377
00:20:40.849 --> 00:20:44.000
attacks occur, as the, as the, whatever it is, it's

378
00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:46.140
coming at you. It's a bad day. It's the coworkers

379
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.099
going off, whatever it is. Step back out of yourself. Go,

380
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.220
go to another room. Leave that space for a minute.

381
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:53.859
I said, wait a minute, God, wait a minute. Let

382
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:55.819
me get this straight. First of all, you knew this

383
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.380
was going to happen because he knows everything. The devil

384
00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:00.950
don't know everything. He knows what to put into place

385
00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.670
to try to get you distracted, to slow you down,

386
00:21:03.950 --> 00:21:06.049
to make you look over here instead of looking straight.

387
00:21:06.470 --> 00:21:09.529
That's what he does. He doesn't think of anything new.

388
00:21:09.609 --> 00:21:14.190
He's not nothing. He's a copycatter. So first, God knew it.

389
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.759
Then you allowed it. Wait a minute. You allowed this?

390
00:21:18.369 --> 00:21:21.769
And the biggest one, you chose me to go through

391
00:21:21.789 --> 00:21:25.160
this and bring you back glory. If that don't turn

392
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.380
your mind around, get out the line. Just go sit

393
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.900
down somewhere. If that don't blow your mind, it's just

394
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.160
like when you're in school. And you had to play

395
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.710
dodgeball and P.E. in elementary school. And you and it

396
00:21:38.750 --> 00:21:41.210
divided you up in teams. And, you know, even though

397
00:21:41.230 --> 00:21:43.670
you may not like little Harry, but Harry chose you

398
00:21:43.690 --> 00:21:46.509
because Harry's a little athletic little fella. You know, devil

399
00:21:46.529 --> 00:21:48.490
will come at you at the opportune time. Yes, that's

400
00:21:48.529 --> 00:21:52.180
his job. But little Charlie, Harry, he chooses you. Oh,

401
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.380
you wait. Oh, you're the last person to be chosen

402
00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:57.960
just to be chosen. Just for the teacher to say, okay,

403
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:00.640
all right, little Lisa, you're going to be line leader

404
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.599
this week. Derek, I need you to wash the boards.

405
00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:05.980
Just for your name to be, for you to be

406
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.220
chosen to carry out a deed. You're a supervisor. Okay,

407
00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:13.380
let's roll it up now. You're a grown person and

408
00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:19.089
you're at your job. And the directors get disseminating work

409
00:22:19.170 --> 00:22:22.269
and the tasks. And you say, okay, now Trey, you know, um,

410
00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:24.259
What we're going to need you to do, we're going

411
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.539
to need you to join the risk management team because

412
00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:30.670
we need case management. We need somebody that's not in

413
00:22:30.730 --> 00:22:33.890
military on that board as well with them, making decisions

414
00:22:33.970 --> 00:22:37.289
and coming up with the roles and duties and goals

415
00:22:37.329 --> 00:22:41.289
and objectives for risk management and what's at risk and

416
00:22:41.309 --> 00:22:44.029
we need to determine that. I mean, you may be like,

417
00:22:44.210 --> 00:22:45.809
oh man, I don't want to be on risk management.

418
00:22:46.170 --> 00:22:48.460
I want to be on party planning. But you know what?

419
00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:53.930
They chose you. When I was working at a health department,

420
00:22:53.970 --> 00:22:56.730
I was going through the worst time of my first marriage.

421
00:22:57.549 --> 00:23:00.369
And I finally got a job. I had just closed

422
00:23:00.390 --> 00:23:02.509
my facility. I did not want to do it, but

423
00:23:02.529 --> 00:23:05.359
the building was not safe for my clients. So I

424
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:07.619
had to close the building. Anyway, I went and worked

425
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.680
for the health department. I don't have that nowhere on

426
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.940
my resume. And I don't ever talk about it because

427
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.900
it was real short. But the funding resource, the funding

428
00:23:16.069 --> 00:23:18.950
agency came and we had a staff meeting. And the

429
00:23:18.990 --> 00:23:21.210
supervisor is just telling all kinds of lies and stuff

430
00:23:21.230 --> 00:23:23.220
like that. We're sitting there like, where's this coming from?

431
00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:27.880
To my surprise, the staff at the funding agency looked

432
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:29.920
me up. I don't know how they got my number.

433
00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:32.160
I don't know how they did it. And next thing

434
00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:34.079
I know, they called me and said, would you come

435
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.740
in for an interview? We're looking for a program specialist.

436
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:38.839
I did not know how to write a grant. I

437
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.680
didn't even know the program was funded by a grant.

438
00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:43.079
I don't know what an RFP was, which is request

439
00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:46.680
for proposal. And I had the greatest supervisor. She said,

440
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.900
we need your clinical skills here. We have no clinical

441
00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:52.839
person here. Could you, you know, we'd like to hire you.

442
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.069
And I'm like, really? Talk about being chosen. And I

443
00:23:57.109 --> 00:24:00.769
had the opportunity three years later after I retired from

444
00:24:00.829 --> 00:24:03.539
there to call the executive director to tell her I

445
00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:05.660
just wrote my first book. And she said to me,

446
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.819
you know what, Alicia? I'm not surprised to be chosen.

447
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:10.779
So that's what I want to get in your head

448
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.700
now going forward is you're going to get hit. Times

449
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.630
are here. We're not here to scare you. We're not

450
00:24:18.670 --> 00:24:21.809
here to make you retreat. We're here to get you bold,

451
00:24:22.150 --> 00:24:26.319
get you strengthened, to undergird you. because what's coming and

452
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.619
what's already here, we don't even know the day or

453
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:30.940
the hour. You need to be prepared. You need to

454
00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:33.460
talk to family that you're close to. You need to

455
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.400
make sure they've got all the necessities and things like that,

456
00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:38.880
because we don't know what's going to happen. I'm sure

457
00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:42.369
Indiana had no idea. I'm hearing there's a place in

458
00:24:42.509 --> 00:24:45.829
Texas now going through, I don't know if it's water

459
00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:48.769
flooding and all that kind of stuff. We don't know.

460
00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:51.650
You don't know. But it's time now to talk to

461
00:24:51.670 --> 00:24:54.329
your family. Talk to your close friends that are nearby.

462
00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:56.519
Talk to your neighbors. I talked to my neighbor. I

463
00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:58.380
saw him a few weeks ago. I said, I'm just

464
00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:00.339
stopping by to make sure you're good. And please don't

465
00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:02.460
hesitate to call me. He said, and if chaplain, if

466
00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:04.380
you need us, you let us know. These people are

467
00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:07.200
80 years old, but they're telling me if you need us,

468
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:13.170
let us know. I said, likewise, likewise. So nobody's going

469
00:25:13.190 --> 00:25:15.250
to want you to expect you to go buy grocery

470
00:25:15.289 --> 00:25:17.470
and stuff like that. Just ask, are you okay? We

471
00:25:17.490 --> 00:25:20.440
need you prepared. Just in case, what do you have?

472
00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:22.559
Do you have candles? Do you have this? Just act

473
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.440
like we're in a hurricane for the next year. Just

474
00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:29.740
act like we're expecting a hurricane any moment now. Get

475
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.079
all that you would if you thought, during this hurricane season,

476
00:25:33.549 --> 00:25:36.029
and November is nowhere near here now, and we know

477
00:25:36.069 --> 00:25:38.589
the hurricane season, we had a hurricane here in Orlando

478
00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:41.970
in February one year. Everybody else was, oh, November 30th,

479
00:25:41.990 --> 00:25:42.410
that's it.

480
00:25:42.690 --> 00:25:43.210
No, it's not.

481
00:25:43.670 --> 00:25:45.369
You can't tell the weather what to do. You can't

482
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:48.910
tell Mother Nature what to do. Exactly. you better just

483
00:25:49.069 --> 00:25:50.750
stay prepared. And I'm not going to go any further

484
00:25:50.769 --> 00:25:53.700
than that. On the setting is straight page. I posted

485
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:58.039
one of the videos of a prophet that I listened

486
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.740
to because God has already kind of told me those things,

487
00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:04.309
but he's got the platform to give. When you're ready,

488
00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:06.890
I need you to listen because he gives some strategic,

489
00:26:06.930 --> 00:26:11.910
God gives some strategic instructions on catastrophe. That's all I

490
00:26:11.930 --> 00:26:14.650
can say. Now I'm going to circle back to self-publishing.

491
00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:17.680
And you see, it says, bless that, you know, in

492
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.089
Deuteronomy 28, he said, bless that which you put your

493
00:26:21.150 --> 00:26:24.549
hands to. Write that book. Write that book of poetry.

494
00:26:24.950 --> 00:26:28.740
Write that memoir. Write that journal. Do that manual on

495
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.539
how to. Some of you all are very creative. Y'all

496
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:35.009
do arts and crafts and knitting and crocheting. Do it.

497
00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:37.759
And get on TikTok and do a quick little blurb

498
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:40.660
on it. Let me tell you, I'm making, show the material.

499
00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:45.619
I'm making another scarf from Chaplain Gray, Miss Gray on

500
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.519
her show. And I'm going to show you how I'm

501
00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:50.920
going to do it. That's how that got started. That's

502
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:54.799
how influencers got started. People review stuff, review the stuff

503
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.019
on Amazon. I just started doing it. And they sent

504
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.839
me an email, said, hey, Have you ever considered joining

505
00:27:00.890 --> 00:27:03.480
us for doing this? And I'm like, well, guess what?

506
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.519
Eventually it will be another stream of income. And nobody

507
00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:10.640
will know what I'm doing. I have a cousin way

508
00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:13.519
older than me. She did it. She was this, you know,

509
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:17.000
reviewer of all the products. They sent everything to her.

510
00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:19.269
She reviews it. She could send it back or she

511
00:27:19.309 --> 00:27:22.630
could keep it. And she made a lucrative retirement career

512
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:25.019
out of it. I need to have her on one day.

513
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.079
I know you don't believe me, but she's real. It's

514
00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:29.380
really real. And that was her goal. And I'm like,

515
00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:32.539
oh my God, go back and just review, evaluate all

516
00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:36.180
the stuff that you've purchased from Amazon. Go ahead. See

517
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.420
what kind of email you may get. But he will

518
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.880
bless anything that you put your minds to. Now, this

519
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.680
is going to blow your way, right? Don't tell anybody.

520
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.680
Those of you listening on radio, I'm looking to the

521
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:47.940
right and to the left and leaning in a little bit.

522
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.539
Everything that you are, he put that in you. When

523
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.460
the book, the verse in Jeremiah said, I knew you

524
00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:57.539
before your mother's womb knew you were coming. He was

525
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:03.910
downloading personality, traits, likes, dislikes, tolerances. He was downloading, he's

526
00:28:03.930 --> 00:28:06.190
putting that in you. Now, for some of you, I

527
00:28:06.210 --> 00:28:08.299
know the angel was probably putting people together and somebody

528
00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:10.539
called him and he stayed over there too long. And

529
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.240
then he's like, oops, you know what? I didn't put

530
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.390
something in that one. We may have to hit that

531
00:28:17.410 --> 00:28:20.650
one right there. I'm just joking. But I've always visioned that.

532
00:28:20.690 --> 00:28:23.329
I figured, you know, for me being really out there

533
00:28:23.410 --> 00:28:25.910
and abnormal and all that kind of stuff, I know

534
00:28:25.930 --> 00:28:29.799
the angel probably said, what? Wait, what? Stop the belt. Wait,

535
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.559
what'd you say? One just went through. She don't want

536
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.039
out the door.

537
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.269
You know, when you're talking, Alicia, I'm telling you, it's

538
00:28:40.289 --> 00:28:40.990
like you're.

539
00:28:42.329 --> 00:28:43.150
It's coming here.

540
00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:47.380
You know what I mean? It's like it's it's got

541
00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:50.759
Trey written all over it. I mean, it's like, all right,

542
00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:53.339
it's got Trey written. So but this is this is

543
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:55.339
I want to kind of put something out here. And

544
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.519
I know we hadn't discussed this, but I want to

545
00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:02.039
task or charge. folks out there that if you have

546
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:05.160
something that has been sitting there, you said you wanted

547
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.480
to do it, just you, you put it over there.

548
00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:09.599
Cause you got work, you got family, you got this,

549
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.420
you got that, but to put it out there. So

550
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:16.150
I'm going to, I'm going to identify one thing for

551
00:29:16.190 --> 00:29:19.710
the month of September or task myself to do that

552
00:29:19.769 --> 00:29:21.390
as that I said, I was going to be doing.

553
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.230
And I'm going to put it out there because I

554
00:29:24.269 --> 00:29:27.170
want to, I want people to hold me accountable for it.

555
00:29:27.589 --> 00:29:30.190
So if I do it that way, if I do

556
00:29:30.269 --> 00:29:33.099
it that way, it's on me now to the pressure

557
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.220
to get it together because now I want to be the,

558
00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:38.579
I want to be the change that I want to

559
00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:41.599
see the world or, or, just encourage somebody else to

560
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.259
do the same thing and and I got a lot

561
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:47.700
of stuff going on not not necessarily bad stuff it's

562
00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:51.380
just a lot of stuff work stuff you know other

563
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:54.119
stuff going on right now but I want to put

564
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:57.660
myself out there and I'm going to be very strategic

565
00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:00.670
on how I do it and I said okay I

566
00:30:00.869 --> 00:30:04.509
want to do this and I will allot myself this

567
00:30:04.569 --> 00:30:08.359
amount of time and I will provide updates to the

568
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.700
audience where I am with that. Because what that will

569
00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:15.599
do for me is to go ahead and just do it.

570
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:20.130
And I have to move some things around and reorder something,

571
00:30:20.190 --> 00:30:23.549
how I do things. But I think if I start there,

572
00:30:24.130 --> 00:30:26.980
I might encourage somebody else to go ahead and do that,

573
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:31.119
you know, because I know you and I've talked. Let

574
00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:32.980
me let me just say to the audience out there,

575
00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:38.150
Miss Gray, when I say as she's just poured and

576
00:30:38.210 --> 00:30:40.650
she said trade, trade, trade.

577
00:30:41.289 --> 00:30:42.470
And I need to start doing it.

578
00:30:42.849 --> 00:30:47.369
I need to start doing it and allocate time for trade.

579
00:30:47.809 --> 00:30:50.980
You know, I put in work for work. But I

580
00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:54.029
need to put more time into Trey. And so that's

581
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:57.609
my goal to do that. And so I'm just going

582
00:30:57.630 --> 00:30:59.890
to figure it out what that would look like. And

583
00:30:59.930 --> 00:31:03.609
then we'll talk about it. And I said, OK, Miss Gray,

584
00:31:03.710 --> 00:31:06.390
on this particular day, I want to announce this. And

585
00:31:06.430 --> 00:31:08.289
then I'll give myself a certain amount of time.

586
00:31:08.369 --> 00:31:10.440
And that's it. And people can ask me, how are

587
00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:12.640
you coming along? How are you coming along? And I'm

588
00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:15.119
going to be very transparent. You know, I haven't done it.

589
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.859
Haven't done it. But then that it'll be like milestones. So,

590
00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:20.019
you know, our.

591
00:31:19.980 --> 00:31:21.619
People will come to you now. They're going to come

592
00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:22.700
for you now.

593
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.480
And I want it.

594
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:25.000
Why haven't you?

595
00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:27.019
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

596
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:31.009
And so that sometimes you need that because you want

597
00:31:31.049 --> 00:31:33.150
to show other people that that that.

598
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.640
This is possible.

599
00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:37.819
And the reason I'm saying that is because I don't

600
00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:41.019
want people to think that nothing goes on with, I'll

601
00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:46.220
say me or us or whatever. People attacks, people might

602
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.299
not say the nicest things or be the kindest to

603
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.980
us as well. And there's spiritual warfare going on all

604
00:31:53.009 --> 00:31:56.390
the time right now. I know it's a spiritual warfare

605
00:31:56.430 --> 00:31:58.410
going on with me right now because I said, okay,

606
00:31:58.930 --> 00:32:01.509
but I'm recognizing what that is and it's not going

607
00:32:01.529 --> 00:32:05.140
to win. but I just want to kind of put

608
00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:07.140
that out there even when I talked about my walk

609
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.500
in faith it's not that I never believed in God

610
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.059
I just never strategically made sure that I was trying

611
00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:18.599
to please him and letting him guide me versus me

612
00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:21.079
stepping in and say okay I'm going to do it

613
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.349
like this without consulting God and so now I'm just

614
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.069
okay Lord I'm listening to you I want to do

615
00:32:28.109 --> 00:32:30.490
this but you haven't showed me yet that's what I

616
00:32:30.549 --> 00:32:33.829
need to do and so I want people to kind

617
00:32:33.849 --> 00:32:36.589
of understand it's okay to be not at where you

618
00:32:36.630 --> 00:32:39.529
think you need to be and just learning what God

619
00:32:39.849 --> 00:32:42.230
wants you to do because that's what I'm doing in

620
00:32:42.250 --> 00:32:42.789
the process.

621
00:32:42.809 --> 00:32:46.299
I'm a little better than I was. I didn't know.

622
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.940
I got you. You didn't know who was talking to you? Uh-huh.

623
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.410
Okay. Yeah, I didn't know it was me putting that in.

624
00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:56.660
It was God talking. And that should go away sometimes.

625
00:32:56.819 --> 00:32:59.759
And so right now, exactly, exactly.

626
00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:02.480
So I just want to be transparent with with the

627
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.240
audience just kind of let you know start just start

628
00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:09.039
somewhere just just start somewhere but also build up a

629
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:11.599
support system of people that are going to guide you

630
00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.240
spiritually that are going to teach you about the word

631
00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:17.089
of hell explain it to you encourage you to read

632
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.089
the word encourage you to make sure you trust god

633
00:33:20.190 --> 00:33:23.609
and allow god to lead you and because people recognize

634
00:33:23.650 --> 00:33:25.809
is that you saying that or is that god let

635
00:33:25.849 --> 00:33:29.710
god lead you don't move too fast be be just

636
00:33:29.890 --> 00:33:34.759
just wait just wait just wait And it's it's it's it's.

637
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.440
It's worth the wait. It's worth the wait to actually

638
00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:41.920
live a life. I don't give a thought. Now, I

639
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:45.910
told you I'm 90 percent spiritual, godly, 10 percent flesh.

640
00:33:46.410 --> 00:33:50.210
I told you that. OK, I've said that. That's because

641
00:33:50.230 --> 00:33:53.009
that means I have to fight my flesh and the best.

642
00:33:53.049 --> 00:33:56.069
So find a start point. And you will feel when

643
00:33:56.089 --> 00:33:59.470
it is right. Well, it depends. I think sometimes you

644
00:33:59.490 --> 00:34:03.190
got to push it. Like yesterday, I had this box,

645
00:34:03.630 --> 00:34:05.839
Amazon box, that I just put all my junk in

646
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.300
right by my chair. And I've got this little thing,

647
00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:11.860
this little stand for magazines and stuff. It's brown. It

648
00:34:11.900 --> 00:34:15.139
won't fit in with my gray furniture. But you know what?

649
00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.940
And I look at my box all the time. I

650
00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:20.280
look down and I'm like, and yesterday I was determined.

651
00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:23.579
I just stopped everything. The kids didn't even know what

652
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.800
I don't think they even recognize the box is gone.

653
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.139
And I didn't stop. There was stuff.

654
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:28.800
Okay.

655
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.840
Thank you. I start, I put the, I found some things,

656
00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:35.449
some warfare prayers and stuff like that. I was like,

657
00:34:35.489 --> 00:34:36.769
Oh wow. Thank you, Lord. I'm going to put this

658
00:34:36.809 --> 00:34:38.449
over here so I can send it out to people.

659
00:34:38.469 --> 00:34:41.110
They need it. And I cleaned all that and put

660
00:34:41.150 --> 00:34:43.210
the box near the, the go out for the trash.

661
00:34:43.789 --> 00:34:45.969
I was determined just that little thing. And I was

662
00:34:46.010 --> 00:34:48.639
able to put my books that were in there. Um, uh,

663
00:34:48.699 --> 00:34:51.760
I've got some signs that don't park on my grass, uh,

664
00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:54.340
that I haven't, I don't need to put them up,

665
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:55.900
but I already got two out there. So I put

666
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:57.260
that one right there so I could get to it

667
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.940
if I need to. No parking on my grass. Uh, yeah. Um, anyway,

668
00:35:01.780 --> 00:35:03.820
you know, and I did it and I was like,

669
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:08.420
look at it. And Chaz is looking at me like, what, what?

670
00:35:09.139 --> 00:35:11.260
And I'm like, oh my God, there's no box there.

671
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.280
I did it. And it did take a long time.

672
00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:16.659
It had me going back and forth. So I'm moving

673
00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:20.940
around and everything else. Just do it. That's why Nike

674
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.019
is so successful with that emblem, with that image, with

675
00:35:24.059 --> 00:35:27.840
that saying, just do it. Put the sneakers on and

676
00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:31.219
go for a 15 minute walk. Go. It's not raining.

677
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.550
No excuse. And it's funny, my notes that Lauren had

678
00:35:34.570 --> 00:35:38.989
me to put down is under the self-publishing, don't allow,

679
00:35:39.730 --> 00:35:42.309
don't be in denial. I've told you when I wrote

680
00:35:42.349 --> 00:35:46.710
my first book, finally, it took me 12 years, 12 years.

681
00:35:47.130 --> 00:35:50.489
The second book, three months, start, finish, on the street

682
00:35:50.510 --> 00:35:53.139
to sell. And the books thereafter. And this last book,

683
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.099
my fifth book, I just, my autobiography, it was just

684
00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:57.820
a few weeks. I think I wrote it down somewhere.

685
00:35:57.900 --> 00:36:00.199
I had to, I couldn't believe it. Just a few weeks.

686
00:36:00.780 --> 00:36:03.019
And it was already, the publisher was like, wait, wait, wait, what?

687
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:05.380
Sister Trey, I feel you. Okay, time for me to

688
00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:07.800
just do it. Yes, Elder K, what else do you

689
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.849
have to do? And you know what? You should be

690
00:36:10.889 --> 00:36:13.570
a little tired. You should be a little tired of

691
00:36:13.630 --> 00:36:16.590
having to repeat things to you. Habakkuk, yes, ma'am. Thank you.

692
00:36:17.090 --> 00:36:21.030
Sister Marie, thank you. Amen. Just do it. Because you

693
00:36:21.050 --> 00:36:23.159
get tired of saying, you know, I'm really tired of

694
00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:24.800
hearing you say this. Are you going to do something

695
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.119
about it or you're not? And that's one thing as

696
00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:29.619
when I was a therapist, I used to tell my clients, okay,

697
00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:32.179
we've been bringing this up for a couple of times now.

698
00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:33.840
You're not moving on it. So why don't you just

699
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.530
take it off the list? Oh, no, no, I have to. No, no, no.

700
00:36:36.550 --> 00:36:38.630
Because you don't want to do it. Let's go there.

701
00:36:38.869 --> 00:36:41.130
That's why I was a short-term therapist. You can stay

702
00:36:41.150 --> 00:36:44.670
with me long. If you want to get healed, if

703
00:36:44.710 --> 00:36:47.409
you want it to be better, just do it. And

704
00:36:47.449 --> 00:36:50.429
I got that, you know, um, And don't, okay, I

705
00:36:50.449 --> 00:36:52.349
got to write a book. So, okay, should I do

706
00:36:52.369 --> 00:36:54.590
a rough draft or should I do? No, I tell people,

707
00:36:54.670 --> 00:36:56.570
even people who want to start their own business, get

708
00:36:56.670 --> 00:37:00.050
a five subject notebook with two pockets in it. Because

709
00:37:00.070 --> 00:37:01.179
you're going to have to get, if you're going to

710
00:37:01.219 --> 00:37:03.619
become an LLC or if you're going to become a nonprofit,

711
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.800
there's papers and stuff that you need to keep in

712
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.429
one place. If you need it. OK, write down goals

713
00:37:09.469 --> 00:37:11.949
and objectives. We need a name. You need the logo.

714
00:37:12.369 --> 00:37:14.230
There's certain things you just need to be thinking about.

715
00:37:14.670 --> 00:37:16.750
And once you've written those things that it could change.

716
00:37:16.949 --> 00:37:20.710
Nobody's not written in stone. It could change. OK, but

717
00:37:20.730 --> 00:37:24.380
I put down rough draft versus recording. I didn't even

718
00:37:24.409 --> 00:37:26.800
before this happened to me before I became a quad amputee.

719
00:37:27.340 --> 00:37:31.630
I I didn't like to write. So thank God I

720
00:37:31.650 --> 00:37:33.650
could record it. And I had a recorder back in

721
00:37:33.670 --> 00:37:36.909
the day. Now you got your MP3 recording device on

722
00:37:36.929 --> 00:37:40.199
your phone. Amen. And so that was easy. And then

723
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:42.900
the secretary, my typist came. They're like, oh, I'll do

724
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:44.960
it for you, Ms. Gray. Okay, thank you. And what

725
00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:46.760
are you going to charge me? Whatever you want to

726
00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:49.599
pay me. Whatever you want to pay me. Come on now.

727
00:37:50.139 --> 00:37:53.420
So I put down, you know, rough draft versus recording.

728
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.030
Now some of you are thinking, oh God, I got

729
00:37:55.050 --> 00:37:57.050
to type up this book. You may not have to.

730
00:37:57.530 --> 00:38:00.659
Just start. What's the title of it? What is it about?

731
00:38:01.139 --> 00:38:03.559
How many chapters you want in it? What's the point

732
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:06.179
in writing it? Don't worry about your audience. People are

733
00:38:06.219 --> 00:38:08.900
still reading books. People are still going to the library,

734
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:11.760
checking out books. All I locate, we got a whole

735
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:16.139
lot of locations here. And every Saturday or 12 noon,

736
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:18.510
I see people coming out with loads of books. Nice

737
00:38:18.550 --> 00:38:21.329
of that person. Amen. But I paid them though, Anastasia,

738
00:38:21.349 --> 00:38:25.119
because you'll never say I owe you. You know, you

739
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:31.349
anything denial, you know, procrastination, being lazy. You know yourself.

740
00:38:31.809 --> 00:38:33.570
But don't keep telling me you're going to do something

741
00:38:33.630 --> 00:38:36.489
and you haven't even started on it yet. Now we

742
00:38:36.510 --> 00:38:38.440
need the bit. We need the greeting cards. I was

743
00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:41.119
telling my goddaughter this a while back. We need the

744
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:44.099
greeting cards. Now I can't find decent greeting cards. I

745
00:38:44.139 --> 00:38:46.480
need like the mountain, the Blue Mountain cards. They say

746
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:48.650
exactly what you need. It's about three panels of it.

747
00:38:49.030 --> 00:38:51.190
All you have to do is sign your name. But

748
00:38:51.230 --> 00:38:53.239
we need it. I need, you know, congratulations. You got

749
00:38:53.260 --> 00:38:55.389
to do puppy. I need that. I need that one.

750
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:59.800
And now, um, Walmart, uh, Amazon, somebody don't beat y'all.

751
00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.900
Is that part of the process? Yes. But I want

752
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.159
to show you my, I don't know if I can

753
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:05.900
show y'all this, but I just happen to be, there's, um,

754
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.460
when I do my study and stuff, um, there's a, uh,

755
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:13.510
there's a group that's selling, um, bracelets like this with

756
00:39:13.530 --> 00:39:16.590
the paw on it. You see the paw? Hmm. You

757
00:39:16.610 --> 00:39:19.929
see the paw? Who thought of that? But yeah, guess what?

758
00:39:20.050 --> 00:39:23.159
It matches my outfit. And I got several colors. I

759
00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:27.050
got several colors. Somebody thought about that and did it.

760
00:39:27.210 --> 00:39:30.719
And guess what? It's on Amazon now. They're on Amazon.

761
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.179
And the other company has got a constant roll. Please

762
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.130
buy this because they show you the malnourished dogs and

763
00:39:37.150 --> 00:39:39.650
stuff like that. I can't stand that. But somebody's got

764
00:39:39.670 --> 00:39:40.250
an idea.

765
00:39:40.269 --> 00:39:40.349
Yeah.

766
00:39:40.849 --> 00:39:43.369
Now, I will tell you, the majority of people that

767
00:39:43.469 --> 00:39:47.030
I know between Orange County and Palm Beach County have

768
00:39:47.070 --> 00:39:49.929
not purchased my book. It's you all that have purchased

769
00:39:49.949 --> 00:39:53.400
my book. It's you all. It's strangers that have purchased

770
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:56.280
my book. So don't be looking at family to support you.

771
00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:58.699
Don't look at your bestie to support you. Oh, that's

772
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:00.559
so nice. You wrote a book. That's all you're going

773
00:40:00.579 --> 00:40:03.219
to get. And walk away from that. Get the book

774
00:40:03.260 --> 00:40:06.510
done and get it into the public's hand. I got, okay, God,

775
00:40:06.570 --> 00:40:09.670
thank you, Lord. God just told me, put the challenge

776
00:40:09.750 --> 00:40:13.940
out there. Put the challenge out there. Okay. Here's the challenge.

777
00:40:14.539 --> 00:40:18.840
You'll have three months to get to me a project,

778
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.099
three months. And that project has to include what it is.

779
00:40:22.179 --> 00:40:23.619
It could be a book. It could be, but I

780
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.070
need the title of the book. It could be greeting cards.

781
00:40:26.130 --> 00:40:31.030
I need the title of the card series, whatever it is,

782
00:40:31.469 --> 00:40:34.570
but I will purchase whatever. If we get it to

783
00:40:34.590 --> 00:40:37.449
the end in line, if we get it to the end,

784
00:40:38.030 --> 00:40:43.030
I will purchase that recipe book, the book on the rock.

785
00:40:43.610 --> 00:40:46.030
I will purchase it. I will be fair. You have

786
00:40:46.070 --> 00:40:48.590
to autograph it for me. I will purchase it. I

787
00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:51.230
don't care how much it costs. I'll purchase it. First

788
00:40:51.329 --> 00:40:53.809
three people in three months that get that stuff to me.

789
00:40:54.269 --> 00:40:55.610
You got a deal. Now what you're going to do?

790
00:40:56.070 --> 00:40:57.489
You don't even know the price. So I don't know

791
00:40:57.530 --> 00:41:00.159
the price of it. Do I care? Uh-uh. Because God

792
00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:02.130
just said, go ahead and challenge them. Go ahead and

793
00:41:02.150 --> 00:41:04.139
challenge them. Let me read the rest of Deuteronomy because

794
00:41:04.179 --> 00:41:06.679
God is also telling me that. 28, let me go

795
00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:09.460
to 13. And the Lord shall make thee the head

796
00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:12.119
and not the tail. You always have heard that scripture.

797
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.860
Here it is right here. And the Lord shall make

798
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:16.820
thee the head and not the tail and thou shall

799
00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:20.690
be above only and thou shall not be beneath. And

800
00:41:20.750 --> 00:41:23.829
if thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, thy God,

801
00:41:24.150 --> 00:41:27.690
which I command thee this day to observe and do them. Now, again,

802
00:41:28.070 --> 00:41:31.039
the writer here is repeating himself. in other scriptures in

803
00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:34.219
the old testament god repeats himself to let you know

804
00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:36.940
how important that is he really means that if you

805
00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:40.400
will observe and do them and thou shall not go

806
00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:43.260
aside from any of the words which i command thee

807
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.829
this day to the right hand or to the left

808
00:41:46.250 --> 00:41:49.429
to go to other gods little g to serve them

809
00:41:49.449 --> 00:41:51.789
but verse 15 and i.

810
00:41:51.730 --> 00:41:55.559
Told you 15 through 68 But if it shall come

811
00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:58.199
to pass, if you will not hearken unto the voice

812
00:41:58.219 --> 00:42:00.780
of the Lord thy God to observe and do his

813
00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:04.639
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day, that.

814
00:42:04.739 --> 00:42:07.940
All these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee.

815
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:12.190
And 16 goes from 16 to 68. Not here to

816
00:42:12.230 --> 00:42:15.010
scare you. Not here to scare you into God's arms.

817
00:42:15.389 --> 00:42:17.110
But I don't know what I would do without him, y'all.

818
00:42:17.550 --> 00:42:18.929
And those of you who've been with us for the

819
00:42:18.989 --> 00:42:21.670
four years, can you say the challenge again? Yes, Misty.

820
00:42:22.210 --> 00:42:24.869
I want somebody who you got an idea. You got

821
00:42:24.889 --> 00:42:26.710
a project you want to work on. It could be

822
00:42:26.750 --> 00:42:28.929
a book. It could be a book of poems. It

823
00:42:28.949 --> 00:42:31.650
could be a greeting card business. I need, you need

824
00:42:31.670 --> 00:42:34.110
to go ahead and get you a five subject notebook. Okay.

825
00:42:34.130 --> 00:42:36.530
Start writing down the goals and objectives. What's the name

826
00:42:36.570 --> 00:42:38.010
of the series? What's going to be the name of

827
00:42:38.050 --> 00:42:41.909
the project? Okay. You've got three months to work on this.

828
00:42:41.989 --> 00:42:45.230
All right. I'll circle back. Y'all got to remind me though. Yeah.

829
00:42:45.389 --> 00:42:47.289
I'll circle back at three months. So you could, as

830
00:42:47.309 --> 00:42:48.840
y'all come on here, you can say, Hey, Ms. Gray,

831
00:42:48.909 --> 00:42:51.000
I've got my title. I'm going to make a note

832
00:42:51.059 --> 00:42:54.309
of it. Okay. You got three months and I will

833
00:42:54.369 --> 00:42:57.969
purchase whatever the end product be. We will find out

834
00:42:58.030 --> 00:43:00.829
how we can reproduce it or produce it. We will

835
00:43:00.869 --> 00:43:03.750
get there. I promise you that. I promise you that.

836
00:43:03.789 --> 00:43:05.889
That's my word. Because if I don't know it, I

837
00:43:05.929 --> 00:43:09.360
know somebody who will, who will. Okay. But I'll buy

838
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:14.420
three folks, their finished product, like brother so-and-so and his

839
00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:19.019
book of dreams. I'm just saying. Or Ms. K's sauces

840
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:21.969
for meatloaf and salmon and cheese. We get it in

841
00:43:21.989 --> 00:43:25.670
the jar. We'll get it to the store. But I'll purchase.

842
00:43:26.349 --> 00:43:28.630
Did that make sense? Was that clear? I know we

843
00:43:28.670 --> 00:43:32.300
got two minutes. I hope tonight really, as always, really

844
00:43:32.380 --> 00:43:36.199
enlighten you, shed some light on some things. Come out

845
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:38.199
of that doom and gloom now. Come out of that

846
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.639
rabbit hole. You've been down there long enough. Come out

847
00:43:40.659 --> 00:43:44.750
of that valley. Let's go. Let's go. Because you may

848
00:43:44.829 --> 00:43:48.309
have That second stream of income, you sitting on it.

849
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:50.679
You sitting on it. And now these, like we went

850
00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:53.059
to the farmer's market. These are all regular people. The

851
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:56.320
gentleman that made the dog, the doggy bowl and stuff

852
00:43:56.340 --> 00:43:58.219
like that. He said, I don't look at, I don't

853
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.340
do it for the money. I don't need the money.

854
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:02.699
He said, but I enjoy doing it. And he had

855
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:05.460
some other fixtures for you outside. I didn't get a

856
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.699
chance to look at. I said, oh, that's his. Oh, wow.

857
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:10.659
He said, I don't do it for the money. I

858
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:12.719
do it because I enjoy it. Well, guess what? I

859
00:44:12.739 --> 00:44:17.239
believe it. Yes, I believe so. Amen. You're welcome, Misty.

860
00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:17.590
Thank you.

861
00:44:17.929 --> 00:44:18.320
Amen.

862
00:44:18.989 --> 00:44:22.260
So just do it. Just do it. Why not? It's

863
00:44:22.300 --> 00:44:25.659
your idea or it's God's idea. Because God started me

864
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.340
writing these books. I mean, I finally got the one

865
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.719
book out after 12 years. I was just as happy.

866
00:44:31.019 --> 00:44:33.159
Next thing I know, I'm weeping at the church because

867
00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:36.420
praise and worship was so moving. And the Holy Spirit said,

868
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.199
that's your second book. What's my second book? The Weeping Warrior.

869
00:44:39.219 --> 00:44:41.599
Because that's what I called myself. Look at your warrior weeping.

870
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:46.820
Three months. Start, finish, done. Ready to sell. Anyway, I'm

871
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.820
going to let you guys go. Keep talking to us.

872
00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:53.079
Go to the Setting It Straight page on Facebook. That's

873
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:54.969
where you can find me. You can talk to us.

874
00:44:55.090 --> 00:44:56.909
You've got our phone numbers that are going through the

875
00:44:56.929 --> 00:45:01.309
scroll down there. You got questions. I know everybody needs prayer.

876
00:45:01.349 --> 00:45:03.909
We've already prayed for you. It's already a done deal.

877
00:45:04.190 --> 00:45:06.920
Now walk in it. We love you. See you next week.

878
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.139
Same time, same station.

879
00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:09.800
Music!

880
00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:11.380
Music!

881
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:15.320
Music!

882
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.429
Music!

883
00:45:19.150 --> 00:45:20.250
Music!

884
00:45:40.329 --> 00:45:40.780
Thank you.
