00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.200
day that no man knows the hour. We just have
21
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.400
to extend our prayers out to people who have experienced
22
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:12.360
loss and awareness. I'm sending out a special prayer set
23
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.319

24
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.960

29
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.159
can we say, Lord, We don't know the day of
30
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.800
they all. We just trust, We just trust you with
31
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.039
everything we've got. Now, Lord be with us tonight. Do
32
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.400
what you do best, and that's set your captives free. Please,
33
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.360
Papa God, we're getting behind the cross now. You lead
34
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.520
and direct and guide us. We're just going to sit
35
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.360
in wonderment and in awe of you. We love you
36
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.960

Amen and Amen.
39
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:17.280
Amen.
40
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:25.159
Well good evening, everybody, It's I tell you time hate
41
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.759
tre tray. Time can really you just don't know in
42
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.000
a day or an hour. One minute, you're doing things,
43
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.919
and you're doing things with your family, or you're doing
44
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.159
things and you're just sitting and next thing you know,
45
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.759
you're getting a phone call, you're getting a text, and
46
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.560
someone's life has changed, and a whole group of people.
47
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:52.479
My former pastor, Pastor Harold Cavin Ray, passed away yesterday evening.
48
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.479
I was somewhat aware that he had some illnesses, and
49
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.719
you know, when you hear things, you pray for people.
50
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.759
And I have to thank God that when I went
51
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.919
home in March, one of the three things that God
52
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.879
had directed me to do was to get in touch
53
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.360
with him and his wife. And it's been years, years
54
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.600
and years and years since we spoke, definitely since we've
55
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.560
seen each other. But I received their phone numbers from
56
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.000
a friend of mine and I text them and just
57
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.920
to say hello and hey, I don't know if you
58
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.279
remember me, and the Lord had me to just tell
59
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.800
them how important the foundation that they laid for my
60
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.600
life was and is and it continues to be despite
61
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.279
what I've done. And of course, you know, with the
62
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.279
last twenty four hours, I've just been thinking, I've been
63
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.399
bombarded in my brain with experiences and events of you know,
64
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.000
when people helped me and people taught me, especially my teachers,
65
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.439
and that made it a profound effect upon my life.
66
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.879
I know most of them have passed and now someone
67
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.199
who laid the found the foundation for me. With Spiritual Warfare,
68
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.560
we were up and coming. We were what you would
69
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.759
consider a mini megachurch. You know, we were adding daily
70
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.439
thousands of people and we were on TVN. We've had
71
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160
the greats were well, not the greats. We've had people
72
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.199
who in their early years of their ministries. Uh uh
73
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:35.879
Tim's story, Uh Jesse to plantis Miles Monroe who's passed away,
74
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.519
Carlton Pearson who's passed away. I mean I can name
75
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.600
Paula White.
76
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:42.360
Uh.
77
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.079
In their early years. We we had all these people
78
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.079
come through. T. D. Jakes came through and we were
79
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.079
learning spiritual warfare and that's that was my beginning, my
80
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.240
the beginning of my foundation and my knowledge. And I
81
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.160
text them and just let them know that, you know, hey,
82
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.879
thank you. I never thought I would get a chance
83
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.720
to say thank you, but I thank god I did
84
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.800
and I was obedient. And tonight we're gonna be talking
85
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.160
about awarenesses and acknowledgments and things that are people are
86
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.839
celebrating all over, but at the end of the hour,
87
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.959
I hope that we're thinking, as we're going to call
88
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.040
out all of these things, and most of them are
89
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.800
medical things and diseases and disorders, some groups of people
90
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.000
and things. But think about the people who helped you
91
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.040
to get where you are today, who helped to shape you,
92
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.560
to form you. I remember mss Kits. I went to
93
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.839
a private I mean, yeah, well college prep, high school
94
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.519
and ms kits senior year taught creative writing. And I've
95
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.199
never been a writer. I've never been and she would
96
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.439
we would write in our little blue books. I don't
97
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.160
know anybody had those experiences, but we'd have a blue
98
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.639
book and you'd have to write and next thing, you know,
99
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.240
it would get the things back. You got read inche everywhere.
100
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.680
But I get no grade. I don't know if any
101
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.079
of my other classmates think. Some some got grades. Sometimes
102
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.439
they were like not good grades. But and so you know,
103
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.959
a couple of more assignments and you know days of class,
104
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.759
you know, classroom stuff, and I'm like, and I would
105
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.279
get my stuff back, some marks on some grammatical errors
106
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.560
or whatever, but no grade, and I, which made me
107
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.480
stay after class one day. I said, miss kids, I
108
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.879
don't understand you're not giving me a grade. And she'd
109
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.600
look at me with her these big bumble bee glasses.
110
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.839
I said, you could do better. Have a nice day.
111
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.439
And I'm like what what? And I'm like okay, And
112
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.079
then back to the class and back to the writing
113
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.480
writing assignment, and then you know, I managed to get
114
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.079
a B out of the class. She started putting my
115
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.800
grades on. She would say, improvement, very good, give me
116
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.079
a star, give me a check mark. And so I
117
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.000
went my freshman year to college at Fort and the
118
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.279
Southern Baptist College at home, and I signed up a
119
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.680
freshman comp one. That's the class because I just came
120
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.759
from a college prep high school. And we're in the
121
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.079
English class and all of a sudden, a runner comes
122
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.680
in and said, we need the following people to go
123
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.759
to the registrar. And ironically all of us were black
124
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.720
and brown skin. We had to leave the classroom, take
125
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.360
our stuff with us, and go to the registrar. And
126
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.800
there was Don Harp and he's like, all of you
127
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.040
own need to be in ESAU or either basic English class.
128
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.600
I'm like, no, I'm not, No, I'm not supposed to
129
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.240
be no basic English. I had that my freshman year
130
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.519
high school. He said, well, you're paying for it to
131
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.000
be if you fail your classes on you. I said, oh, okay,
132
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.879
I see you, and I went back to class. The
133
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.159
teacher said, okay, You're gonna be in his so on you.
134
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.440
And I'm like, what's wrong with y'all. It's college, you know,
135
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.080
And sure enough I got to be out of the
136
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.000
course and guess what. I took my little happy hips
137
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.720
with my report card to the registrar office. Mister Hart
138
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.639
got to be thank you for your support, you know,
139
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.000
and not knowing that years, many years later, I'll be
140
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.519
writing books to motivate and influence people and going through
141
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.919
experiences that people would want to hear about. I'm just
142
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.679
so thankful that I was able to talk to Pastor Ray,
143
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.399
even though it was through text, and he even prayed
144
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.519
for me through texts and was so proud and he said, wow,
145
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.440
look at you. And I shared some pictures of my
146
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.639
book signing and my books and my children how they
147
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.600
Because he didn't know anything about the twins, Donald was born,
148
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.039
and the last time I think he saw Donald was
149
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.279
maybe when he's well up to six years old because
150
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.480
we moved up here when he was seven. So it's
151
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.480
a loss, it's a big loss, and that will be
152
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.320
a funeral. Just just don't know that's going to be
153
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.480
a funeral because folks are coming from all over. He
154
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.000
touched a lot of lives and made a big difference.
155
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.799
A big thank you, thank you missy. Good evening. But anyway,
156
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:58.240
you know, and I'm going to slowly segue into all
157
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.039
of these awarenesses and acknowledgements and things to be aware of.
158
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.080
Some of it is to celebrate something. You know. If
159
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.720
I could say anything tonight and we're gonna go ahead
160
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.840
and go forward with that, please acknowledge, please be thankful
161
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.039
for those who helped to shape you, helped you, who
162
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.639
took you as is and said, you know what, I'm
163
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.639
gonna work with this person, and I'm gonna whether it's
164
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.000
a student, I'm gonna work with this person. Acknowledge them.
165
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.399
Think if they's still alive, thank God for them, because
166
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.200
you none of us will be where we are if
167
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.799
we did not have these people. And in the experience
168
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.080
could have been good or could have been ugly. I've
169
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.519
learned from I've had some bad supervisors, which taught me
170
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.000
on how to truit volunteers and deal with people in general. Oh,
171
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.679
I've had some. I've had some doctors who was just
172
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.200
you know. I've had some influences people, you know, and
173
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.279
they had to govern my grades and tell me what
174
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.720
to do, and they had their experiences in the classroom.
175
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.039
Oh I've been there, done that. But what I did
176
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.960
was I learned what not to do, how not to
177
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.960
be and and and that's a valuable lesson. So I
