Good evening, Good evening, and welcome to setting it straight

11
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.879
with Miss Gray and her fabulous co host. Before we

12
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.079
can go any further, we must take it to the

13
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.239
throne room in prayer. Lord, we just thank you. When

14
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.519
we praise you, we give you glory. You alone, you alone,

15
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.040
are worthy to be praised. Lord. I just thank you

16
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.920
for saving me. I thank you for choosing me. I

17
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.319
thank you God for favor everything you've ever done for

18
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.959
me up until this very hour. I thank you. If

19
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.079
you don't bless me anymore, I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied. I

20
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.359
just you're just blowing me away. And I thank you

21
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.959
that you allow for my co hosts to go and

22
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.319
be where they need to be on time, and they

23
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.719
accomplishing things in you, Father, God, that we're all growing

24
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.879
in you. Thank you for the background person who keeps

25
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.120
this all together. We thank you and we praise you

26
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.719
for her and her alone. Now, Father, this is your time,

27
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.360
this is your show, this is your podcast, this is

28
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.719
your session. Do with it as you may, because only

29
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.199
you know who will be listening tonight and in the future.

30
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.159
So we're going to get behind the cross and make

31
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.360
sure and watch and hear and listen, take heed for

32
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.439
tonight because we know that no one will leave here

33
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.599
the same way they came. All this and more. We

34
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.639
asking Jesus' name, Amen and amen and amen. And the

35
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:50.360
church said, man, you go. Well, I wanted to ask you,

36
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.680
how are you guys doing? First of all, Trey, how

37
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:59.719
is the weather where you're at colder than Florida? Yeah,

38
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.080
m hmmm hmm. I saw there the digit. I saw

39
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.520
the digit and I'm like, oh, and we were freezing

40
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.039
out here, but we I am not coming nowhere near

41
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.719
where you're at. Nothing personal at all, yep, because I

42
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.840
would probably freeze, just like in the Day After Tomorrow movie.

43
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.039
I just freeze right out there and we'll be HM, well,

44
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.719
I'm glad that you're We're glad that you're well. And

45
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.039
Pastor Miguel, how are you over you know, a few

46
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.680
hours away from me, So how's your you're in but

47
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.639
you're near the ocean, near the water, the real water.

48
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:42.120
H Yeah, it's very breezy, very uh I very cool

49
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:48.039
and crisp and very enjoyable. Okay, And I I too

50
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.879
have a I have my guitar instructor who lives in

51
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.639
New York, and he told me that it was at

52
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.319
the time that we were practicing, it was fifteen degree

53
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:04.159
with four inches of snow on the ground, so I

54
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.159
would imagine.

55
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.319
I can't even imagine. I can't. I'm so sorry. I

56
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.240
can't even. I ain't going away.

57
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.039
It's so pretty on TV.

58
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.040
On TV, yes, yes, yes, and we appreciate the vivid

59
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.399
photos of you all daring to get the you know,

60
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.360
in the moment, in the moment. But we thank you

61
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.560
and we praise you. I thank God. I think the

62
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.560
last time we were on, I was telling you I

63
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.000
received word that, you know, there was a spiritual hitch

64
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.399
based on me. I don't know if I used those words,

65
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.439
and and I God told me to ask some specific

66
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.519
people to pray. I don't know what that is. Sorry

67
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.040
about that. I don't know what that is. It's not me.

68
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.000
I'm hearing some feedback anyway. And the Lord revealed I

69
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.040
didn't even want to know where it was coming from,

70
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.120
or who it was or who it would be. I

71
00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.600
didn't even want I didn't want to know. I didn't

72
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.120
even ask. He just told me, you asked these particular

73
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.360
people to pray during these hours, and they did, and

74
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.000
it was a lot of things were revealed, but the last,

75
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.120
the biggest hit, was revealed this past week, and towards

76
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.920
the end of the week, had no idea would have

77
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:22.279
been really something horrific for me, and he just lifted

78
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.759
me right out of it and placed me with their

79
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.759
and I'm looking like, are you serious? So prayer is important,

80
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.600
and praying is strategically specifically, and in various phone call

81
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.079
conversations this week, at least on three occasions, I spoke

82
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.000
to three particular people by miscellaneous stuff. But it ended

83
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.959
up the word came out that you don't have the

84
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.720
right people praying for you. And I said that to them,

85
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.519
you don't have you need to ask God for some

86
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.560
new intercessors, because those who you think are praying for

87
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.639
you are not. And it could be mixed with jealousy,

88
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.720
it could be mixed with they don't believe in the prayer. Anyway.

89
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.399
I don't know, but I know I got hit with

90
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.240
that as well, because when you don't pray for somebody

91
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.279
strategically and continuously as the Lord guide you to pray

92
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.040
for them, it's just opening up a door. It's opening

93
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.160
up that scene. And the devil just he will, he will,

94
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.560
he will, he will send his minions, in his workers

95
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.720
of iniquity in to to to attack, to attack you.

96
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.800
And you're wide open. You're wide open. So I have

97
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.480
had to ask God over the years for new intercestors

98
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.360
because I said, minor, some of mine are sleeping, and

99
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.800
that's as they're coming in the front door. They're coming

100
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.680
around the side. And but God, but God, but God,

101
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:47.199
but God, but God, but God saved me, took me, removed,

102
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.319
moved me out of the dangerous rem move me out

103
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.480
of the dangerous target. And those whoever sent it won't

104
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.839
be unto them. But you didn't get me. And I'm thankful.

105
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.199
And many of you are in that situation, and you

106
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.040
don't even know the attacks that are being set up.

107
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.560
You don't know who the devil will use. You don't know.

108
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.360
You don't know the dreams in the dreams, some of

109
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.639
the dreams will reveal for you. You've got to stay focused. Guy.

110
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.639
We're here, it's here, it's it's you know. People are

111
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.920
not happy. People are angry. People are coming into the

112
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.399
grocery store angry. They're fussing with people in the mall

113
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.720
on the phone. I mean, they don't matter. It doesn't

114
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.240
they don't care where they are. If they've got to

115
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.639
get something out, they're gonna get something. People are doing

116
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.199
strange things. I got to watch yesterday. I went for

117
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.560
a walk and Belicia spots me, so she does her

118
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.279
exercise too. But I'm walking and this truck is carrying

119
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.920
some cars, stops way down the road and he gets

120
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.160
out and he's like, he's looking. So I've already built

121
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.720
a scenario up in my head. I don't play. I

122
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.399
don't play already. I say, okay, maybe we're gonna have

123
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.560
to go this way. You walk with me, you walk

124
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.879
on this side because I can cover you, you know,

125
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.920
I mean, you should see us it. So we had

126
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.759
to go and she's telling me you need to go

127
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.800
a little extra further, but I said no, not go ahead.

128
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.879
So we're fussing and stuff, play freshing and ended up

129
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.480
having to go further so we could get make sure

130
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.480
that I don't know what this man was going to do.

131
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:15.720
I don't know what he's going to do. Park stopped

132
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.160
in the middle of the street and like, get out

133
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.920
of his truck and he's doing this, and I'm like

134
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.240
what the man and I walked back and you know,

135
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.920
we were able to kind of pretend like we just

136
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.600
ignored him and stuff. And I said, God, I'm not

137
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.159
going to live like a prisoner in my city. You know,

138
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.960
I'm not gonna you know, people, oh, don't park by

139
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.000
you know, plane trucks and stuff like that, which is true.

140
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.840
I get it. I'm blessed because I have a handicap

141
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.200
decab so I don't have to go. I'll circle a

142
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.360
parking lot first, I'll circle it. And you got to

143
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.120
be careful. You don't know what's on folks. Mind, you

144
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.320
don't know. You don't know, you don't know. But if

145
00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:00.399
you love God and you are striving every minute of

146
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.399
the day, every day to do better in his eye,

147
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.000
to get closer to him, to believe his word, to

148
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.720
study his word, meditate on his word, sing a new

149
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.759
song unto him, enter his course with thanksgiving and praise.

150
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.320
If you are working on your relationship with God every day,

151
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.559
then you need to make sure your head is on

152
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.720
a swivel. You're looking, you're assessing, you're doing discernment, You're

153
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.440
getting discernment. Should I park here? I told my daughter,

154
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.120
I don't want you going in the grocery stores at

155
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.399
night by yourself. She's got to be in school early

156
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.440
in the morning. No, no, no, you park in that garage,

157
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.919
and I stay on the phone, one of us stay

158
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.600
on the phone with you. You know. I mean, I'm

159
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.039
almost ready to open up my own security firm, almost

160
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.879
because we're not gonna have this. She can't even go

161
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.120
to the gym without being harassed by married people. Bad boy.

162
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.279
He with the girl, and he looking at my daughter like, boy,

163
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.720
you ain't gonna have this child jump on my child

164
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.720
because she thinks something going on, because you got the

165
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.000
roving eye, you know, I mean, it's getting it's getting crazy.

166
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.759
Remember as a child, it being this exact, this intense.

167
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.200
So I don't know if they looked at my dad,

168
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:08.559
And they said, no, I better not look at that

169
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.759
little girl because he looked like he you know, because

170
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.960
that he'll get anything. And why are people so upset

171
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.159
about these days? Their life and the station and good evening,

172
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.039
and hey, nckey, need to be aware of your surroundings

173
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.639
at all times. You do. We've got got I've got

174
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.919
I got particular things in my car and I can

175
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.279
grip it very well. Been working on that when I

176
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.320
was in physical therapy. I need to be able to

177
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.840
grip something and fold it and give it all the

178
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.759
force I got. And we're gonna talk about the Book

179
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.559
of Proverbs, and that I'm circling back because that's the

180
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.039
wisdom book. It's the wisdom book. You've got to be with.

181
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.000
Wise people will watching. We got all the evidence even

182
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.799
through the movies Law and Order, all the movies nine

183
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:55.480
one one Perry Mason. People getting ideas some things, and

184
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.600
people will sit and wait and then book up Proverbs

185
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.519
chapter one. They say that your enemy will lay in wait,

186
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:08.919
probably for you. And verse chapter one, verse eleven. If

187
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.519
they say, come with us, let us lay wait, lay

188
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.799
wait for blood, let us lurk privately for the innocent

189
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.399
without cause. Let us swallow them up alive as the

190
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.039
grave and hole, as those that go down into the pit.

191
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:29.039
That's the word Proverbs chapter one, versus eleven and twelve.

192
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.960
The enemy is telling you, let us wait, and we

193
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.279
see that all the time. But the kidnapping getting back

194
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.879
to Anastasia, they're angry. Who knows what they're angry about.

195
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.960
They're angry about their life. I had somebody tell my daughter,

196
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.679
you know you got it, you got it together. When

197
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.799
she came and told me that, I said, get away

198
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.879
from her. Get away from her, because she's already got

199
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.799
thoughts in her head. You got voices in her head.

200
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.639
Don't even talk to her anymore. Don't tell her what

201
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.759
you do. Clear your social media, make sure she can't

202
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.600
get to you. Don't let her know where you're gonna be,

203
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.320
and don't let her know what you're up to, because

204
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.159
those are those those those are deadly words for me

205
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.320
in my field. You know you you got your life together,

206
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.600
You so this and you saw that. WHOA, that's fighting

207
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.000
words for me. I ain't gonna go there, but you know,

208
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.279
I had a distant relative tell me. See they said,

209
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.440
that's what you know, that's what you know. You had

210
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.000
the perfect life, and see, you just don't understand. And

211
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.120
that's when I'm gonna rise up. You don't tell me

212
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.840
what I don't understand, just because I'm not going along

213
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.960
with you, I'm not sympathizing with you, because all I

214
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.320
said was, well, I never knew that I know. I

215
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.799
thought I knew everything about you. But see that's what.

216
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.360
See that's your because you think, oh, I think, okay,

217
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.320
now we're getting ready to fight. Now now you my enemy.

218
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.399
That's that you don't tell me. You don't say that

219
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.440
to me because I don't say that to you. My

220
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.960
biological brother used to say, you know, listen, you just

221
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.879
think you know everything. And I said, let me take

222
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.679
a breath. Let me take a breath. And I said, no,

223
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.919
I don't think I know everything. I know a lot

224
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.399
than your average more a lot more than your average

225
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.840
person my age, because I've been through some stuff. But

226
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.399
you the one who think I know everything because I

227
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.600
don't want to talk to you. And I had to

228
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.759
tell them I talked for a living. He went on

229
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:06.840
to say, you know, I want to talk and so

230
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.279
we can get to know one another. I said, one

231
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.320
thing you don't understand. I talked for a living I'm

232
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.840
a tea. I was a teacher then I was doing

233
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:17.320
my acting, my counseling and take therapy. I talk for

234
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.360
a living. There are times that I know y'all gonna

235
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.639
wait for it, wait for it, because I know you're

236
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.960
gonna be shot. There are times I don't want to talk.

237
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.240
I don't want to say a word. I beg God

238
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.600
at times when I'm out, I said God, please don't

239
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.480
let me have to say something. Please don't and come out. Yeah,

240
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.360
I talk for a living, and yeah, there are times

241
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.960
I don't feel like talking. That's why we have voice

242
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.879
messaging on the phone. It seems we need to pay

243
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.440
attention to the words people say to us. Yes, missy,

244
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.759
how much longer are you gonna take somebody telling you?

245
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:48.919
You see? You know my uncle on my I told

246
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.799
you my uncle Fred and aunt Zena he usaid, come

247
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.759

248
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.600
wait until we got home and then they came over.

249
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.919
Never understood that. And he used to say, you know,

250
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.519
every time I see you getting bigger? Yeah, what I eat?

251
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:03.639

252
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:08.879
What? What? Now? I was strictly rad I don't talk

253
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.759
back to my elders. I don't say nothing. I don't

254
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.360
do nothing, and for you just every Sunday, here they come.

255
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.679
He used to collect pennies, so he bring over to

256
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.919
my brother's house, to our house, and then did you

257
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.519
come and get them? I'm like, oh wow, my mother

258
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.720
loved her brother. She loved her brother, and he would

259
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.279
have been on three and four jolls of pennies. I

260
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.320
don't know where we're going with this. And she would

261
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.720
she know we gotta hide them.

262
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.519
Ooh, nobody even knows he's even so he would.

263
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.639
I'm trying to study. I'm seventeen years old. I'm trying

Every time I see you? You just keep getting bigger.

266
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:57.360
I'm like, what am I supposed to do? Shrink? Because

267
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.159
I eat three meals a day all the time. All

268
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.679
the time I did, I did not go without a meal.

269
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.519
So I couldn't say nothing. I couldn't say nothing. But

270
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.600
my best friend was over one Sunday and I just

271
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.799
turned eighteen, and I went straight through the college. So

272
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.840
I'm sitting there half afraid, hands in hang that how

273
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.720
you doing? Girly? Every time I see you, I closed

274
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.759
my book. I was ready. Every time I see you

275
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:23.360
keep getting big. I said, yeah, but at least I

276
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.960
graduated from high school because all.

277
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.240
Night and you didn't.

278
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.960
I couldn't hold it any longer. And I was getting

279
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:39.240
out the chair. It ran, it ran, it overflowed, and

280
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.759
I got out with my friend was trying to push

281
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.080
me because he was getting up off the couch. I

282
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.799
don't know what he was gonna do to me, but

283
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.600
I because you had nine children, I think two got high.

284
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:53.799
School clones two and they said, yes, dash for it, Nan.

285
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.480
For it, this ma'am. And I sat in the living

286
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.320
room like, oh god, I'm gonna spank me. She's gonna

287
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.519
knock me out. And she was shorter than me, so

288
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.639
I was like, but anyway, I couldn't. I mean, you know,

289
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:17.000
I hate so I have. I have one that kind

290
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.360
of one of a person.

291
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.639
I know that the analog said you put on a

292
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.360
little weight, right A person said, well, I had to

293
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.000
do something to fit into this family.

294
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.960
Cut it right there, sere you go and look, believe

295
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.320
it or not. He got the last gerank pennies that

296
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.399
last time. So we hadn't seen him for a while

297
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.320
and then he come down. But I just made sure

298
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.639
I was working up. I was out of his way,

299
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.120
because I don't know what he would have done to

300
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:51.480
me if you'd got to me. So I don't know why. People.

301
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.000
I'm gonna let you drink that, right, because I don't

302
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.279
want you to bring it back up so that I

303
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.840
was sprayer. By the way, I'm a sprayer. See, don't well,

304
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.840
I'm drinking. Don't say nothing. You know, I'm gonna laugh

305
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.559
or you're gonna make it because it's gonna come out. Okay,

306
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:10.319
I've recolored several walls over time. But anyway, all right,

307
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.440
let's get back to it. Let's get well, we really

308
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.039
at it, We really at it, because you got the

309
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.599
don't be saying what you're thinking, you know. I mean,

310
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.319
I've seen in my whole life fifty pluses. I have

311
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.240
seen an ugly baby. They look like her daddy. So

312
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:34.079
what do you say? Everybody said, oh oh, and I'm like, oh,

313
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:42.480
it's a girl, ain't she cute? Words can't describe words

314
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:46.119
can't my dad. My dad used to say when he

315
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.440
didn't want to answer something.

316
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:54.480
Blessing heart, that's blessing bone, bless some bones, bless a bone.

317
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.720
That's it. That's it. So getting back to proverbs, we

318
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.440
want to talk about problem, which is the wisdom book

319
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.599
written by Solomon and all it's all related, it's all

320
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.759
co related. However, we need to get there. We're back.

321
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.000
We're back, and I've already shared one of my favorite

322
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.759
Proverbs with you. The whole chapter one. Solomon sets it off,

323
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.720
and you know, he says, to no wisdom, and instruction

324
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.799
is to perceive the words of understanding. And then later

325
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.559
on it says, you know and all that getting wisdom,

326
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:28.519
get understanding. So if you get wisdom on something, and

327
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.279
it opened my eyes and I stated, I mean, I

328
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.599
would study Proverbs month after month after month. There's thirty

329
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.880
one chapters. I'm going to give you a little sidebar

330
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.000
and the co hosts you need to come on in.

331
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.000
There are thirty one chapters. You can read a chapter

332
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.759
of Proverbs a day and take notes and study. And

333
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.839
when I want you all to understand this, please don't

334
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.640
just read the Bible. It's not an ordinary book. You're

335
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.480
not gonna memorize it. You're gonna forget where the New

336
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.759
Testament and the Old Testament scriptures are. You're gonna forget them.

337
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.720
All you're gonna say, I know in the Bible it

338
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.119
says you don't have to memorize the Bible. But if

339
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.640
you do number two, which is meditate on this word

340
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.720
day and night, which is okay, I studied that, well,

341
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.519
this is the enemy talk about if they if they say,

342
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.119
come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let

343
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.839
us lurk privately for the innocent without cause. Okay, that's

344
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.440
in that first chapter of Proverbs. Because that's an odd statement,

345
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.519
that's an odd set of instruction, that's an odd set

346
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.200
of conversation for the Book of Proverbs. So that's helped

347
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.039
me to correlate that that's in Proverbs, and there are

348
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.759
six more and Proverbs where they talk about we're gonna

349
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:43.319
lay and wait privately, We're gonna lay and wait. Ply.

350
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.039
That began to teach me that I have an enemy

351
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.599
out there that will lay and wait. They will observe,

352
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.759
they will monitor, but they're gonna wait until I'm at

353
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.799
my lowest. That there is nobody to help me. All

354
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.000
of my family are gone. I can't ask anybody to help.

355
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.039
I mean I can mostly time. I can't even ask

356
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.759
people to pray for me. They're gonna wait and wait

357
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.079
until I am at my lowest and I have to go.

358
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.480
They are waiting on me a long time for years.

359
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.480
So I go to my lowest and then they're gonna

360
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.839
sit out the biggest attack on me, the biggest attack.

361
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.640
So all right, guys, y'all come on in.

362
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:18.839
Let me.

363
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.720
I'm gonamute myself. Y'all, y'all come on in, Come.

364
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:30.519
On, rock paper scissors. Well, that's great. I do have

365
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.240
to admit that Suverbs is one of those portions of

366
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:39.640
the Bible that I think a chapter a day very

367
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.759
very aggressive, because you really have to for times that

368
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.960
you read a verse or you read a particular thought

369
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.000
and you're like, whoa, it's deep, and it gets to

370
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.759
a point where you get really deep that you're like

371
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.279
I need to chew on this for a little bit.

372
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.759
And sometimes uh read it again and you're like, wow,

373
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.559
it hurts again, and you really got to really sit

374
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.160
down and digest it. And one of the things, and

375
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.680
one of my one of my favorite proverbs is Proverbs three,

376
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.559
verse five. Well, that talks about trust in the Lord

377
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.559
with all your heart, do not rely on your own understanding.

378
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.119
And we still come over from their attack if we

379
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.119
have been getting to know the Lord.

380
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:37.160
And answer to that, Charles is absolutely absolutely because one

381
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.640
of the things that we have to understand is that

382
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:43.640
when you become a child of God, become a chosen or.

383
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:47.480
Actually hated by the demons at dark side. When you

384
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.279
are being hated, that they're wanting to do is they're

385
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.480
attacking you so you can discredit God. And that's something

386
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:02.680
that you really that takes having a strong foundation understanding

387
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.240
the Word, understanding what you have learned from the Bible,

388
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.920
and understanding your authority to have been given by our

389
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.839
Lord Jesus Christ. And this is where we have to

390
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.720
also understand that in the proverbs that I was mentioning,

391
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.160
we're too busy trying to figure out God. We're trying

392
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.720
to figure out God and saying, well, God, this is

393
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.160
what I would do, and God would just look at

394
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:31.000
you like really. And it's interesting that we're on this

395
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:37.000
topic because yesterday when I delivered, I spoke as a

396
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.400
visitor at a church. It was really flowed in the

397
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.119
sense that many people say they leave in walking Christ,

398
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:54.359
but they overlook there was a component. It really activates everything.

399
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:59.119
And many people know of this component, don't understand the

400
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:04.000
function that component. That component is the Holy Spirit. A

401
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.400
lot of people like to associate the Holy Spirit the

402
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.960
form of religion. Oh yeah, the Holy Spirit. He's part

403
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:16.680
of the trinity, and he just picks up. No, No,

404
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.200
this is where we really have to understand. Holy Spirit

405
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.160
is part of the Trinity. Father, the Word, and the

406
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.839
Holy Spirit are three and one. And what we have

407
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.799
to really understand is for us to understand the mind

408
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.880
of God, we have to be connected to the Holy Spirit,

409
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.880
because the Holy Spirit knows us, and the Holy Spirit

410
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.599
knows everything about us. If we are focused with the

411
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:44.759
Holy Spirit, it's going to reveal what God's will is,

412
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.319
not ours. And that's why that proverb is so important

413
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:54.480
to understand that we are here to serve God's purpose,

414
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:57.920
not our own. When we try to figure things out,

415
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.480
oh this is where God wants us. You're not connected

416
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.480
to the Holy Spirit and you go on your own,

417
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:07.640
then what's going to happen is things are going to happen.

418
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.200
You're going to get frustrated, you're going to get dried

419
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.960
out in your walk with Christ, and all of a sudden,

420
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.119
you're going to be completely veer off where you're supposed

421
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.839
to be. And a lot of people don't understand that

422
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.039
because if you look in the Book of Acts, Jesus

423
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:29.559
commanded the disciples to stay in Jerusalem, and there was

424
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.039
a reason behind it. And many people will say, well,

425
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:35.720
why are we going to Jerusalem, Why do we have

426
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.720
to stay there. This is why we have to trust

427
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:44.880
in the Lord and not rely on our understanding, because

428
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.200
when we are connected to the Holy Spirit, we're able

429
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.880
to be guided by the Holy Spirit where God wants

430
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.759
us to be. But that's just something that develops when

431
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.920
you are vesting time with God, You're investing time with Christ,

432
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.440
You're investing time with the Holy Spirit in prayer, reading, worshiping,

433
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.880
and when you're worshiping, you are worshiping to your creator,

434
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.519
and then that gets revealed to where you need to be.

435
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:23.839
So I used this example yesterday where I was taken

436
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:27.920
out of Orlando. I was brought to the city where

437
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.559
I'm at, a city called Pombay. It's an hour and

438
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:36.319
twenty minutes from Orlando, because the Holy Spirit pulled me

439
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.119
out of Orlando to get it away from all of

440
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.720
the distractions because of a message Holy Spirit wanted to

441
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.240
reveal to me. But I went in there not on

442
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.599
my own understanding. I would have never figured it out.

443
00:25:53.119 --> 00:26:01.480
This is why reading, praying, surrounding yourself with other lies people,

444
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.440
people who are close with the Lord. When you surround

445
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:10.720
yourself with those type of people, the Holy Spirit talks

446
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:15.200
to those individuals who give you the wisdom you need

447
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.720
for that moment. So this is why Proverbs three five

448
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:24.960
is so important to understand because this way God's purpose

449
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:30.440
is revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. Because and

450
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.799
I'll close out with this, I don't I didn't mean

451
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.759
to turn this into a sermon. But you look at

452
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:39.200
the Trinity to have the you have God, the Father,

453
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.680
the Word is in one John five seven, that's the

454
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:47.480
way it's written in the King James version. You have

455
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.759
the three in agreement in heaven, the Father, the Word,

456
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.920
and the Holy Spirit. And if you really studied the Bible,

457
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:01.119
when God was working on his function in the Old Testament,

458
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.160
what he was doing was he was preparing for his

459
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:10.799
son Jesus. Then in the New Testament, Jesus was preparing

460
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.200
the people for the Holy Spirit. The key thing that

461
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.440
we have to understand in was while God was functioning,

462
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:24.920
Jesus cooperated. Jesus contributed, but he never interfered. When Jesus

463
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.559
was functioning in the New Testament to fulfill the will

464
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.599
of God, the Father who sent him. The Holy Spirit contributed,

465
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:36.559
God contributed, but they never interfered, so they had to

466
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.359
perform their specific function. This is where we have to

467
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.319
understand that while we're reading the Bible, this is what

468
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:47.200
the Bible is telling us, we have a specific function,

469
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:54.279
not based on our understanding, the understanding of our and trey.

470
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.559
If I could just really hook my wagon to pastor there.

471
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:04.160
In the same chapter Foco, John verses fourteen, starting at ten,

472
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:06.880
Jesus is talking to this DECI let me go. At nine,

473
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.039
he says, unto him, have I been so long in

474
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.160
time with you? And thou hast not known me? Philip,

475
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:17.119
he that has seen, he that hath seen me, has

476
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.799
seen the Father? And how says Dan, thou show us

477
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.720
the Father? Verse ten, Believe thou, believe thou not that

478
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.680
I am in the Father and the Father is in me.

479
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:30.960
The words that I speak unto you, I speak not

480
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:35.119
of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me he

481
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.359
do with the work. Believe that I am in the

482
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.599
Father and the Father in me, or else believe me

483
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.680
for the very work's sake. And then he goes down

484
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.039
to fifteen, if you love, If he loved me keep

485
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.160
my commandments, but I will pray the Father and he

486
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.400
shall give you another comforter that he may abide with

487
00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:59.160
you forever. That's the Holy Spirit.

488
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.559
Got I lost Paraclitos in Greek.

489
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:07.799
There you go for the helper because he's getting he's

490
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:10.519
getting ready to go, but he knows he can't leave them,

491
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:12.359
you know. So you know what, I'm leaving the Holy

492
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.799
Spirit with you, the third part of us. And he,

493
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.039
just like me and my father fathers in me, I'm

494
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.720
in him Holy Spirit. He brings it up the rear.

495
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.039
So getting to know and not to lean to your

496
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.079
own understanding, not be curious.

497
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:26.440
I think.

498
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.079
Also it's funny when you brought that up, pastor about

499
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.119
you know, about being curious about what God is doing.

500
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.839
I've never went there. I was too scared to be

501
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.400
sitting there wondering what God is up to. I wonder

502
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.480
how God I've been too I've reverenced Him too much.

503
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.319
I don't want to know. I'm not trying to figure

504
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:46.440
out God. I'm just I'm just making sure I'm staying

505
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.880
in right standing with Him and I'm hearing from him.

506
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.000
And I know some people do that because we got

507
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.279
I mean our intellect is really be you know, some

508
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:57.000
folks intellect is out there and they want to know everything.

509
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.960
But I love the mystery, the mystery of God and Jesus.

510
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:04.599
But then I look back. My soul looks back and say, wow,

511
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.680
what did I get here? That was my dream? And

512
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:09.680
how do you win?

513
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.079
Oh?

514
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.440
You put it in me. I was made in what

515
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:17.400
your image? Oh so that's why I love the color purple.

516
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.880
That's why I love the color red. I understand it.

517
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.839
That's why I love you put it in me already,

518
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.960
because the closer I get to you, and it's just

519
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.519
like a parent. I was just thinking about parents. You know,

520
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.559
you depend on your parents if you had a good childhood.

521
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.480
Even some children who did not have a good childhood

522
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.680
from us looking outside the window into into the you know,

523
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.839
into their lives. But kids, you know, we depend That

524
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:46.119
baby depends on you. It knows when I start to

525
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:50.160
cry and a pastor knows this, Oh well, it's basket

526
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.200
past week or so his grab babies. They're like, Papa, wait,

527
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:58.440
somebody got to give me something. I'm thirsty. Oh I

528
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:02.119
put to the bath. Oh God, that baby just wakes up,

529
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.640
and how does it know? Nobody trains the baby. How

530
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:08.960
does it know if I if I make somebody coming,

531
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:13.680
somebody's coming. Nobody trained a new born. They start to feel,

532
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:17.279
they start to hear. That's all he's That's why Jesus said,

533
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.759
don't forsaken. The little children will come under me now,

534
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.920
because once upon a time you were children too, So

535
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:27.000
don't forsaken. Don't take that worry, take that curiosity of

536
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:28.680
oh I wonder what God. No, no, no, no, no

537
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.039
no no, non't don't spend time there because you'll stay

538
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:35.200
stuck there and the work won't get finished. Don't do that.

539
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:35.839
Ray.

540
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:41.759
My spirit wants to reveal something here. A lot of

541
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.559
people are hung up trying to understand the trinity in

542
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:50.400
one we have three bodies in one quickest way I

543
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:53.519
can explain this is this way. And I'm in on

544
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.559
the pulpit and I'm preaching. I am Pastor Miguel, and

545
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.319
I'm done preaching, and I stepped down the pulpit and

546
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.079
I reunite with my wife. Now I'm a husband. I

547
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.759
am Miguel, and my wife is Gina. And this is

548
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:13.160
my role as a husband. And I do that. And

549
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:17.519
you touched on my grandchildren when I am when my

550
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:23.119
grandchildren see me, they call me auta, hi data, and

551
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.079
I have to speak completely different. I have to speak

552
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.480
differently to my grandchildren and I don't speak to them

553
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:33.599
like I do with my wife, and I don't speak

554
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:37.240
to them with my students who attend the church. So

555
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:43.640
I have three specific functions for three specific categories, and

556
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:47.559
that's a That's the best way I can explain the trinity.

557
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:51.680
They all have their function and they're part of the

558
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.359
same body, but they all have different wow.

559
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:00.759
So just to piggyback on that part though, pastor sole

560
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.119
role as counselor role as caregiver. You have to transition

561
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.440
from one role to the other because sometimes you find

562
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:14.119
yourself Sometimes when when my father was living, I tried

563
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.039
not to go from counselor to him and counselor, you know,

564
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.359
I went to him as daughter slash caregiver, but more

565
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.000
so focusing on the daughter aspect, you know, recognizing this

566
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.960
is dad. You know, I got to make sure that

567
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.920
I keep my daughter hat on. And sometimes people get

568
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:35.920
stuck in both. They you know, they're going so fast

569
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.519
and not remembering you have to transition in order to

570
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:41.519
fit in where you're going or where you're going to

571
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:43.759
be the environment that you're going to be, because you

572
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.240
don't want anything spilling over.

573
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.319
So I don't care what goes on at home.

574
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.599
I don't take that into the job setting. Whatever happens

575
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.160
at work, I don't take that into the home setting,

576
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.240
you know. So you have to learn to turn it

577
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.359
on and turn it off. And there were times that

578
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.279
I would sit in the car to make that transition

579
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.240
from the roles, so that that's one thing. Another thing

580
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:08.639
to kind of piggyback on, which was saying leaning out

581
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.119
onto your own understanding. There was a time that you know,

582
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.000
ideas were just coming to me and then it got stagnant.

583
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.159
I think I was playing to you, Lisia one time,

584
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:19.199
you know, when I was going through that period of caregiving,

585
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.519
and it was Okay, let me try this, let me

586
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.119
do this. And then after my dad passed, it was like, waymen,

587
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:26.480
I don't hear it anymore.

588
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.199
It's not there.

589
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.559
And so I think that was a way of God

590
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:33.880
getting my attention. Slow down, daughter, now you need to

591
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:38.119
listen to me. You've taken charge, you know, job father,

592
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.199
listen to me. Now, it's time to slow it down.

593
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:47.400
And so following Christ listening to him reading the word,

594
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:49.400
trusting him so that that.

595
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:51.199
Was not that I never bleed.

596
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.559
I want to keep saying that to people, but to trust,

597
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.519
getting out of my way, to get out of his way,

598
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.639
let him do what he needs.

599
00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:59.320
To do to help me.

600
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.119
And so I always find myself, Lord, what is it

601
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:04.320
that I want to make sure that I'm following you

602
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:05.719
the way I need to?

603
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:06.800
Am?

604
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.079
I doing what you purpose me to do? What is

605
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:11.239
it that you would have me do?

606
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.920
And I pray that every day I learn more and

607
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.320
more to be like you and to follow what.

608
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:17.239
You purpose me for.

609
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.599
And so now getting more clarity, getting more clarity, And

610
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:24.320
so sometimes I find myself waking up just praising him

611
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:25.960
in the middle of the night. You know, I have

612
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.199
to do a quick bathroo om, but just praising thank you,

613
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.440
you know, thank you for this. I still thank him

614
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.199
for the day, especially if it's after midnight.

615
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:33.159
Thank you for that.

616
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.960
This is a new day they never seen before and

617
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.719
we'll never see again. And it's just a great feeling

618
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.480
to be right there where I am, And I'm just

619
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.880
looking forward to where he's going to have me move to.

620
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.760
He's moving and shaking some things, and I'm hearing, I'm

621
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.480
hearing and I'm moving on. Some stuff might take me

622
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.480
a little bit, but not as long as I had been.

623
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:57.199
But it's not because I got in the way. I

624
00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:59.159
let him do what he can do with me and

625
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:02.559
for me. So I'm just excited and just have to

626
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.599
be faith you know, faithful, just have faith in it.

627
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:07.360
Well, I'm gonna tell you. I don't know if I've

628
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.920
already shared this. I just graduated from graduate school and

629
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:14.400
I got my first masters, and I achieved all of

630
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.159
my goals, anything that I had in my head. This

631
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.360
is before vision board and dream boards and all that

632
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.719
came out. And I was like, and I stopped one minute,

633
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.039
and I'm like, what if I not done? I've done everything?

634
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.000
I said. Oh, I hadn't gotten married nor had a

635
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.360
child in that order. So I said, okay, okay, I

636
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:33.519
need to get married and let me have a child.

637
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:35.760
So the first fellow, kind of the second fella that

638
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.119
came along, you know, he believed in God and he

639
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.599
was tall. My prerequisites were very minimal because I knew

640
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:44.079
I had a lot of education, and I didn't think that,

641
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.960
you know, men would, you know, and particularly black men

642
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:51.239
would appreciate that. Because I've had some educated men. You

643
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.239
know they were my friends and stuff. I was not

644
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:56.119
their type of person because we can just sit there

645
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.239
and have a conversation. And they didn't like that. They

646
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.840
want their women to be more docile. No, you don't

647
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.800
have an opinion. You need to look up to me.

648
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.000
You know, they wouldn't iver. I knew that about them,

649
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.920
so of course I'm like, you know. But I also

650
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:10.559
in my head figured out, well, I've got all this

651
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.320
education and I'm still young, and I'm going to intimidate

652
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.000
some people. So God, just as long as he believes

653
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.360
in God, and he's over six feet tall, I am

654
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:21.440
dead serious. He has to have his own car and

655
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.400
it has his own place. I'm good met a man

656
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:26.559
just like that. Didn't know how to be a husband,

657
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.360
but I got married. Two years later my baby boy came.

658
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:35.199
Then I looked at him like, oh ooh, I don't

659
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.519
like you really. Oops. My whole point of sharing that is,

660
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:44.440
don't ever forget to dream. Don't don't ever forget to

661
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.079
have some goals out there. Once you're achieved, you need

662
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.280
to have more. You need to have more, and don't

663
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.760
don't forget to dream, because then you will accept whatever

664
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:57.719
comes your way, even if it's similar, it may not

665
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.760
be exact. I don't regret my marriage because I got

666
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:03.360
my boy and I got my tall boy out of it.

667
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.199
But I was born. I'm like, no, you're not serving

668
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.079
God like you know, Christ loved the church, and you're

669
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.519
supposed to love me like Frank's love the church. And

670
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.960
he would throw my education. Oh you think here we go?

671
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.280
Oh you think you? I told you there was are

672
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.960
fighting words right there. You turn me off right there?

673
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:25.360
See you? You know anyway, don't forget to dream. And

674
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.760
the most beautiful thing that I have learned out of

675
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.199
many things I've learned on my faith journey, is all

676
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:33.760
of my dreams, all of my hopes that on my

677
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.880
vision board. He already put him in me. So the

678
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.639
closer I got to him, the closer I get to God,

679
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:44.400
Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and it just bursts open

680
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.599
and it makes sense. I didn't come up with that.

681
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:49.599
All I can remember when I was a little girl

682
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:51.880
was one day I wanted to return to the stage

683
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.280
because I love acting. I love it people Over the years,

684
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:57.199
Oh you've got a radio voice. Oh you do you

685
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.559
play the piano? No, I don't, But that's the only

686
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:01.960
thing because people are like, oh, when you were a

687
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:02.480
little girl, what.

688
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:02.920
You want to do?

689
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.159
And I'm like, just get to the stage. And it

690
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.360
was years later and then I'm on the stage up

691
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:11.239
here for fifteen years and doing commercials and stuff. It

692
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.079
was my goal too, But he already put that in me,

693
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:18.119
that desire I had. Mister Larry Poe, Southern Baptist music

694
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:22.079
teacher at Saint Francis back in the day. I would

695
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.039
tell people he taught me how to sing. He said, no,

696
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:26.440
I just brought out what was already in you.

697
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.079
It's great. Look at Proverbs sixteen nine.

698
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:36.039
Sixteen sixty nine, sixteen nine. Okay, a man's heart devises

699
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.199
his way, but the Lord directed his steps. Yeah, yeah,

700
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:42.599
I mean, and it makes sense because why he's the

701
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.239
what off in the finishing of the faith, he's what,

702
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.800
He's the atha in the omega. He's the beginning and

703
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:50.800
the ending. He does very well with the in between.

704
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.960
We were made in his image. Stop tripping it. I

705
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.519
never said that I want My father was a fraternal twin.

706
00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:58.880
I never grew up saying, oh, I want to have

707
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.960
fraternal twins, have twins. Never said that, never said I

708
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:03.440
love to read, but never said I wanted to be

709
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:06.599
an author. I love to teach, I love to talk,

710
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.159
I love to listen. Never said I would be a

711
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.280
therapist was when I was a little child. Didn't even

712
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:12.360
know what a therapist was, probably couldn't even spell it.

713
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:13.039
Uh.

714
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.000
I never I worked in the library. Didn't know, you know.

715
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:17.960
And that's where I can't blessed at the meat because

716
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:20.239
I always thought that the meat being met quiet. So

717
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.599
I knew that I wasn't gonna make it in to

718
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:29.199
head because I'm too loud, not knowing that I'd be

719
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.800
conducted a wedding and the mic would go out, so

720
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:35.039
I had to project. But that's what I was training.

721
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:39.119
Prophecied that when I said, yeah, I can hear you. Hey,

722
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:45.599
I appreciate a question. Do we all have fun?

723
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:48.039
And this? How do we find what is in us?

724
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:51.119
And someone else just put something up and we all.

725
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.880
Yes, you do. You be surprised. But your culture, the

726
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.199
way you were raised, make impacts on that. How you

727
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.880
were if you're an introvert. If you're an extrovert, all

728
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:05.760
that your your experiences at at your early age, some

729
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:07.960
of that just makes you. People people telling you, like

730
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.719
Uncle Fred, every time I see you keep getting bigger.

731
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.719
Oh she talked so much. Yeah, guess what, I'm a

732
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:18.920
motivational speaker, you know, you.

733
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:22.239
Know, just just to piggyback, I think it was Charles

734
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:26.119
or Ms that says, something you you find sometimes you

735
00:41:26.239 --> 00:41:29.400
have to find out that something is in you. So

736
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.480
growing up, I was an introvert. People do not know,

737
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.199
and I'm still like introvert extrovert. So it's that part

738
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.920
that it's introverted, but it's that part that's extroverted too.

739
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:43.559
And so, you know, being surprised of things that I've accomplished.

740
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.320
Speaking in the audience of four hundred people, I've.

741
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:49.079
Done that before. Never would I thought I would do that,

742
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:53.320
and so but it was there. You know, God knew

743
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:53.559
it was that.

744
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:55.280
I just didn't know it was that because I was

745
00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:58.480
too much into my flesh and leaning into my own

746
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:00.679
understanding instead of what he was say you could do

747
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.400
this part.

748
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:04.199
And so now look look at look at me now

749
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:06.880
you know on the podcast, who would have thought that

750
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:19.159
I'm serious? And so, but you have to find what

751
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:20.960
you find with your niches.

752
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.039
I knew I always wanted to help people, and I've

753
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:28.320
been blessed in different uh work environments and the organization

754
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:30.440
to find out what it is. And it's kind of

755
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:34.039
a whole lot of everything mixed into one and it

756
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.480
feels good. So I don't have to just lean to this.

757
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:39.199
And so when I tell her, hear people say, well,

758
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:41.519
I just want to work with this type of population.

759
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:43.920
I just like helping people. But you have to really

760
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.000
understand what part are you willing to do and what's

761
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:49.280
a deal breaker for you. You might be willing to

762
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.719
help somebody do this, but when it comes to changing

763
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:55.400
you know adult, are you willing to do that?

764
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:57.199
So it's hand in hand.

765
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.840
But just lean to God and ask him what is

766
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:02.280
is that you and then you'll know what you how

767
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:03.559
you feel when you're doing it.

768
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:04.840
It feels good.

769
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:07.360
I can't describe it. It feels good when you're doing this,

770
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:10.360
and so you would know what it is that you're

771
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:11.480
purpose for and you.

772
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:14.800
Have to embrace. You have to embrace because this spiritual

773
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.599
call on my life. All right, I told you how

774
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:20.360
I felt. Well, my pastors never thought I need to

775
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.000
be one. I feel sorry for it, but I laugh

776
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:24.800
at him too, because you know, I don't go around

777
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.960
hugging everybody. I don't do that. But whenever God has

778
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.639
began to open up the door, say this is what

779
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.360
I have for you, this is who you need to be.

780
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:34.960
You need to segue there, you need to go. I'm

781
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.440
like I would have talked him out of it because

782
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.320
I would have definitely told her I'm not your girl.

783
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:42.679
The things I've been through, I'm not your girl. So

784
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.159
that's why he don't tell me stuff. Everybody else swear

785
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.320
they God tells them and prophesied them. I don't get that.

786
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:50.360
Next thing, you know, I'm walking in. Why am I

787
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.480
at this meeting? I walk into it. Lord, I'm at

788
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.239
the I'm in the hospital. I'm in physical rehab doing

789
00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:59.360
physical therapy three hours a day for forty five minutes

790
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:03.079
and three hours. And this man's wife comes in representing

791
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.800
an agency for home health because I had to have

792
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.199
home health AIDS and my home twenty four seven? Does

793
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:13.559
Evil try to trick us about? Oh yeah, oh yeah,

794
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:15.599
we can talk about that next time, because it looks

795
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:18.639
like our time is up. It was seven twenty seven

796
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:21.000
once upon a time, and now it's seven fifty. We

797
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:22.719
