00:00:55.579 --> 00:00:56.479
get to the button.

5
00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:01.880
I hope everybody's doing well. Welcome to Setting It Straight

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.980
Gray, with my host, Ms.

8
00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:06.060
Gray in the house.

00:01:06.109 --> 00:01:06.780
How you doing?

All is well. Amen. So I'm going to go ahead

11
00:01:12.010 --> 00:01:15.480
and pray us in tonight. Heavenly Father, most gracious Father,

12
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.120
who sits above high and looks low, who blesses us

13
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:25.010
daily with the gifts of life, breath, health, strength. And Lord,

14
00:01:25.069 --> 00:01:27.290
we know even if we don't, they're not in the

15
00:01:27.349 --> 00:01:29.310
best of order. We know that if we look to

16
00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:32.019
you or continue to look to you, you will help

17
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.420
us get things in order. And tonight is your show,

18
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.299
as usual. And we just want to bring it tonight

19
00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:39.019
in the way that you would want us to do it.

20
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.680
And I hope that tonight that we're able to touch

21
00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:45.420
somebody out there that needs this word, because it is

22
00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:48.379
through you that we're bringing this message. I pray for

23
00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:52.359
everyone on this call, the show tonight, those that wanted

24
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.810
to come and were not able to. This prayer I

25
00:01:54.829 --> 00:01:56.950
ask in your most holy and gracious name, Father.

26
00:01:57.109 --> 00:01:57.549
Amen.

27
00:01:57.909 --> 00:02:01.189
Well, welcome, everybody. Amen.

28
00:02:01.310 --> 00:02:01.609
Amen.

29
00:02:03.090 --> 00:02:04.069
Amen and amen.

30
00:02:04.109 --> 00:02:06.969
Well, good evening and thank you, Sister Trey from the

31
00:02:07.049 --> 00:02:08.930
Northern Division over there.

32
00:02:08.949 --> 00:02:11.129
Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

33
00:02:11.250 --> 00:02:14.479
Just welcome to everybody. We pray that everybody's had a

34
00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:18.180
great week. Everybody needs to come on and check on in.

35
00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:21.439
Even you trolls, check on in. Check on in because

36
00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:23.460
we know you're there. And you're going to probably get

37
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.599
a little deliberate tonight.

38
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.159
Amen and amen. The Lord's been thinking about you all.

39
00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:30.439
And so it's going to be, but it's all going

40
00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:33.439
to circle back to our title, which is we're acknowledging

41
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.199
World Mental Health Day and Month and all that. And

42
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.580
I think every month is a mental health, mental health

43
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.280
and wellness, mental health wellness.

44
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.280
But here we go.

45
00:02:43.590 --> 00:02:46.729
I have shared with you all that I go to

46
00:02:47.349 --> 00:02:50.969
a little flea market that's here. My daughter and I go.

47
00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:54.789
It's about a 45 minute drive. And this last time

48
00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.449
I went, we went, there was this little boutique that

49
00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:00.990
was open and it has not been open before. I

50
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:02.810
didn't notice it, but I noticed it this time. And

51
00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:05.469
I went in and I have to share, I purposely

52
00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:06.889
wore these.

53
00:03:06.770 --> 00:03:09.750
Earrings, which I've had for years. I want you to

54
00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:10.710
take a look at them now.

55
00:03:10.729 --> 00:03:11.229
Okay.

56
00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:13.849
I've had, okay. Thank you. I've had them for years.

57
00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:16.020
I had them for years, years.

58
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.879
Never looked for anything matching or anything like that. I'm

59
00:03:20.979 --> 00:03:23.150
looking around in this place. And I mean, every time

60
00:03:23.189 --> 00:03:24.849
I got further and further into the store trying to

61
00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:26.469
get to the register, I'm like, oh, my God, there's

62
00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:29.460
some other things here. So I had to ask the cashier, please,

63
00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:31.750
can you just hold these behind the register for me?

64
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.300
And I'm like, oh my God, I can't believe this.

65
00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:35.830
And so I'm in the store saying this.

66
00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:37.110
I can't believe this.

67
00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:41.530
I've had these earrings for years, years, well over 30 years,

68
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:46.710
well over 30 at least, only to find matching bracelets.

69
00:03:47.669 --> 00:03:51.879
Only to find, finally, matching bracelets. And I got one

70
00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:52.500
on tonight.

71
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.819
I've got my.

72
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.139
Cross on and then you see the jewel thing and

73
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.270
I've got my doggy Thank you.

74
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:01.830
Thank you, Mickey. Good evening.

75
00:04:02.210 --> 00:04:04.949
My doggy bracelet there, you know, is with the paw.

76
00:04:05.110 --> 00:04:06.590
I think y'all can see that.

77
00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:09.169
So that's how I wear. I wear my cross first

78
00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:12.789
and then anything. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Dealing with

79
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.039
the paw. There's the paw there.

80
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.420
And this is how I, I wrote, I write, I

81
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.160
write out every day with at least three bracelets.

82
00:04:20.379 --> 00:04:21.019
If it's a cord.

83
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.560
So I just wanted to share that with you. I

84
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.680
kept these earrings on all day. I just want you

85
00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:27.519
to know that all day. Because I wanted to show that,

86
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.160
you know, when you're not looking for something, you'll find

87
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.019
everything you need.

88
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.620
And I want you to keep that in mind.

89
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.699
I don't know how many of you all have subscribed

90
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.439
to the Setting It Straight page on Facebook. I would

91
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.060
like you to do that because that's where I make

92
00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:43.550
mention of things and we're able to keep in touch

93
00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:46.089
with you a little bit more. I follow a prophet

94
00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:49.790
by the name of Joshua Giles out of Minnesota. And

95
00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:52.589
today on Mondays at times, he'll give what he calls

96
00:04:53.449 --> 00:04:57.120
the prophetic forecast. And usually it's a word from God.

97
00:04:57.139 --> 00:05:01.000
It's straight from the throne. And sometimes it's a warning.

98
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:06.060
Sometimes it's encouragement. And today I missed being on, I mean,

99
00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:08.139
listening to him live. So I went back to listen

100
00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:11.660
to it. And I couldn't even grab anything fast enough

101
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.860
to write notes on. So this is my calendar that

102
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.540
sits besides my chair. And I handwrite everything. I have

103
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.660
to handwrite everything. And so I grabbed it and I

104
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.220
used it as a note taker.

105
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:23.639
Okay.

106
00:05:24.709 --> 00:05:26.750
Because he has scriptures and everything. So the Lord wanted

107
00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:30.129
me to share these with you because these particular notes

108
00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:35.629
are entitled a prophetic key for 2027 prophetic keys.

109
00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:37.839
But let me go back. I'm so sorry. I didn't

110
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.920
give you the name of the store.

111
00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:45.180
It's called hometown accents, hometown accents. And it's in Claremont.

112
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.649
And like I said, it's a little boutique. The sister

113
00:05:49.670 --> 00:05:52.899
was manning the store that day when we went. And

114
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.879
she also, she was just so kind and probably surprised

115
00:05:56.899 --> 00:06:00.660
that somebody looking like me would be interested in jurying

116
00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:04.639
the things. And they had greeting cards that were $ 5,

117
00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:07.089
but they're homemade. Her sister makes everything. Rebel sent YouTube

118
00:06:07.129 --> 00:06:08.110
videos you shared with us.

119
00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:10.970
Amen. Thank you, Misty. Thank you. Thank you. And that's

120
00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:14.449
for the Mississippi, Louisiana, Washington, D.C.

121
00:06:14.509 --> 00:06:14.790
Folks.

122
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.240
That's going to be my point of contact. Cause I can't,

123
00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:18.699
you know, I don't have all your names and numbers

124
00:06:18.730 --> 00:06:21.009
and all that. So, but I send it to her.

125
00:06:21.089 --> 00:06:25.050
She is so awesomely faithful and loyal. She gets it

126
00:06:25.089 --> 00:06:27.329
to you. So that's, that's what, cause God tells me

127
00:06:27.350 --> 00:06:29.689
to send it to her to send to y'all. And

128
00:06:29.709 --> 00:06:32.069
I'm going to say this again and the people who

129
00:06:32.209 --> 00:06:34.709
don't watch the show, are not on the show. So,

130
00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:36.980
but I'm just preaching to the choir. When I send

131
00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:40.420
something out, it's not, it's not to, there's no horn

132
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.339
to toot. It is to give glory to God. He

133
00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:46.100
wants us to know some things and, and he'll tell

134
00:06:46.139 --> 00:06:48.319
me who to send things to, even when I send

135
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:52.269
it to individual people. So, um, you know, you're not

136
00:06:52.310 --> 00:06:54.990
hurting me by not listening to it, not.

137
00:06:54.910 --> 00:06:58.029
Reading it, whatever. I go, I get these scriptures.

138
00:06:58.089 --> 00:07:00.230
I went through my phone as he was giving the scriptures.

139
00:07:00.269 --> 00:07:01.740
I even had to play it back so I could

140
00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:03.649
get the scripture, write the scripture down. Then I go

141
00:07:03.689 --> 00:07:06.860
to my phone Bible, my Bible that's on the phone

142
00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.420
and I highlight the scripture.

143
00:07:08.779 --> 00:07:12.160
So that's my way of studying, studying the word. Okay.

144
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.420
So God wants to encourage you, want us to be

145
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.240
encouraged tonight. No matter what's going on in the world,

146
00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:25.000
when the Lord speaks, he is encouraging us. He's letting

147
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.259
us know. He's giving us warning. He's telling us when

148
00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:32.000
to be cautious. He's telling us when to be loving.

149
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.160
He's telling us, you need to be at peace, stand down.

150
00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:38.000
This is not your fight. Or I need you to

151
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.639
pray about this now. And you stop what you're doing

152
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:43.350
and you pray. You give him praise. You give him worship.

153
00:07:43.430 --> 00:07:46.009
And these keys are gonna, it's so funny. They're gonna

154
00:07:46.029 --> 00:07:46.410
be the link.

155
00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:48.170
And I was just telling the people this. I wanna

156
00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:50.389
tell you something that happened to me this weekend. I

157
00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:54.149
woke up Saturday morning to our power being out. And

158
00:07:54.490 --> 00:07:56.769
I was like, oh no, we're not going to do that.

159
00:07:57.209 --> 00:07:57.610
No, no.

160
00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.660
So I got dressed and I'm like, okay, what do

161
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.220
I do? There's no power, no electricity, and there's no cable.

162
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.600
So I'm like, okay. So faithfully, my utility company already

163
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.819
texted and said, we are aware of the outage on

164
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.019
your street. And there's only very few houses on my street,

165
00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:17.889
which is why I love it so much. And I

166
00:08:17.889 --> 00:08:20.129
was like, oh Lord, no. They said, we're not sure

167
00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:22.660
when we can We'll have it back on. We're working

168
00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:26.439
on it right now. I said, oh, no, Lord. Angels,

169
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.519
go fix the power lines, please. And make sure my

170
00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:32.259
neighbors and I are back up and running now.

171
00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:36.080
Now, in Jesus name. Not even 10 minutes later.

172
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.019
My cable company is texting saying we're aware of the outage.

173
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.320
And it's going to probably be around 11 a.m. This

174
00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:48.019
is around 8-ish. Probably be around 11 a.m. before the

175
00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:50.980
power is restored, but we will let you know. And

176
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.110
because of all the outages over the years, now mainly

177
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.070
your cable companies will say the power has to be

178
00:08:59.230 --> 00:09:02.129
off for four hours before they can start to try

179
00:09:02.169 --> 00:09:04.710
to give you any type of credit on your next bill.

180
00:09:05.029 --> 00:09:05.250
Yes.

181
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.100
Not that 20 minutes not 30 minutes not an hour

182
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.700
four hours it has to be out so I learned

183
00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:12.460
that the hard way but I said.

184
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.440
Okay so I'll wait four hours because.

185
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.480
Okay y'all on the clock I start the timer you're

186
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.919
on the clock but not even 10 minutes later it

187
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.159
was up and running even my utility company couldn't even

188
00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:24.539
catch up to tell us oh we think it's on

189
00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:27.899
but we did find out that there was an animal

190
00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:31.500
that gnawed on the lines so I had to call

191
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.129
I called one of my spiritual daughters I said I

192
00:09:34.149 --> 00:09:35.570
told her what happened. She goes, oh, well, no, I

193
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.480
text her. And she said, oh, he was hungry. I said, oh,

194
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.620
I can show you hunger. I can show you hunger,

195
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.080
but you didn't know it on my line. So I'm like, Lord,

196
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.480
why is it that the power lines are not underground?

197
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.720
The cable lines are.

198
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.070
I know you got to have some things on the pole,

199
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.330
but how come? That's all I said, guys. I didn't

200
00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:56.350
pray about it. I didn't go any further with it.

201
00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:59.250
All I said was, why is it that the lines,

202
00:09:59.289 --> 00:10:04.190
the power lines, the utility lines are underground? Hey, I

203
00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:05.350
come out and I saw it.

204
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.200
Well, it was later on.

205
00:10:06.250 --> 00:10:07.639
I was sitting in my chair and I saw a

206
00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:10.519
shadow because I have French doors and it's got glass

207
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.960
pane in it. So I could see shadows when cars

208
00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.710
are passing by or somebody's coming to the door. And

209
00:10:16.769 --> 00:10:18.230
I'm looking under, I was like, because I had my

210
00:10:18.289 --> 00:10:21.330
banners up so that nobody could see inside the house.

211
00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:23.620
And so I was, I could see the shadow.

212
00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:24.220
I said, what do I want?

213
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.460
So my dog started.

214
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.480
Going off, you know, almighty, I know everything jazz is

215
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:29.899
going to be on the scene. She's going to be

216
00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:33.159
on the scene. And so I gently went to the door,

217
00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:35.090
kind of look out the glass. And there's these men

218
00:10:35.110 --> 00:10:38.210
in my yard, dug up my grass, have dug up

219
00:10:38.230 --> 00:10:38.789
my grass.

220
00:10:39.149 --> 00:10:41.830
And they got, and I'm like, what? So I go

221
00:10:41.850 --> 00:10:43.850
put some clothes on. I came out. I said, what's

222
00:10:43.889 --> 00:10:46.029
going on? Why are you digging up my grass?

223
00:10:46.049 --> 00:10:48.340
And I just had my, I was just, I just

224
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.909
had my, um, parts of the grass kind of manicured

225
00:10:50.929 --> 00:10:52.330
with my handy guy this weekend.

226
00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:54.090
And thank goodness he.

227
00:10:53.970 --> 00:10:56.029
Power washed some areas, but I didn't want, he said, well,

228
00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:58.190
I'll do the whole, let me do the whole part,

229
00:10:58.230 --> 00:10:58.990
you know, driveway.

230
00:10:59.009 --> 00:11:00.690
I said, no, no, no, let's not do that right now.

231
00:11:01.169 --> 00:11:02.159
You know, he said, well, there's a.

232
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.899
New chemical out that's going to go in and it

233
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.100
could dig up mildew and all that. I said, oh, okay, well,

234
00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.740
we'll try that next time. Thank God I didn't do that.

235
00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:13.279
Cause they got, you know, dirt and shovels and I'm like,

236
00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:16.129
what in the world? So they couldn't answer me. They

237
00:11:16.169 --> 00:11:18.330
were men of color. but they didn't understand what I

238
00:11:18.370 --> 00:11:20.690
was saying. All I was asking was, who are you?

239
00:11:21.149 --> 00:11:23.889
And why are you on my property that says no trespassing?

240
00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:26.350
They had their little vests on. And they're like, oh,

241
00:11:26.389 --> 00:11:28.190
and one said, oh, we'll get our supervisor.

242
00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:29.230
Five minutes, five minutes.

243
00:11:29.269 --> 00:11:31.649
So I walked in the house and I sat down

244
00:11:32.070 --> 00:11:34.269
and it was 15 minutes before I went outside.

245
00:11:34.570 --> 00:11:37.269
And they're out there lounging. One was vaping. And I'm like,

246
00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:38.929
where's your supervisor?

247
00:11:39.669 --> 00:11:41.409
Oh, so he called to the gentleman and here comes

248
00:11:41.470 --> 00:11:44.049
a gentleman and another gentleman. And I said, I'm just

249
00:11:44.149 --> 00:11:46.769
wondering what we're doing here because I received no notice

250
00:11:46.809 --> 00:11:51.080
from my, utility company or my cable company saying that

251
00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:54.379
you all were doing any work, which would cause you

252
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.950
to dig up my yard. I hope you're not trying

253
00:11:56.990 --> 00:11:59.190
to push my property line back. No, ma'am.

254
00:11:59.230 --> 00:11:59.509
No, ma'am.

255
00:11:59.549 --> 00:11:59.850
No, no.

256
00:11:59.889 --> 00:12:00.990
We're sorry about that. No, ma'am.

257
00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:05.149
No, what we're doing, we're placing a new fiber optic something, something,

258
00:12:05.169 --> 00:12:07.080
something line underground.

259
00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:09.840
I said, excuse me? I said, what did you say?

260
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.340
He said, we're placing, and he's looking at me. I said,

261
00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.200
I was doing that. I said, what did you say?

262
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.539
And then I told him about what happened this weekend

263
00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:20.159
and with the animal gnawing on the line. He said, oh, wow.

264
00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:22.879
I said, so you're quite timely. Thank you, Lord.

265
00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:27.500
Now, somebody had already came out on Thursday and sprayed

266
00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:31.179
the grass with this orange spray and put the flags up.

267
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.700
So this has nothing technically had nothing to do with

268
00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:39.399
what happened Saturday. But ironically, look at God's timing. I

269
00:12:39.470 --> 00:12:42.649
hope you see God's timing. I said, well, you know,

270
00:12:42.669 --> 00:12:44.889
we've got black bears in two cities over.

271
00:12:44.909 --> 00:12:45.509
And they're like, what?

272
00:12:45.570 --> 00:12:47.610
I said, yeah, apparently it's a whole lot of them.

273
00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:50.669
And recently I've seen some exotic looking animals that.

274
00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:53.340
I've never seen. And I'm a native Floridian. I've never

275
00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:53.580
seen them.

276
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.100
So I don't know if people are coming to Florida

277
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.720
and dropping off the exotic animals and stuff, but they're

278
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.080
finding their way to the residential. They're like, are you serious?

279
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.139
I said, I'm dead serious. So it's good that you're

280
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.399
going to drop the line. And it's real deep. I mean,

281
00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.210
I look down at the whole When I went to

282
00:13:06.230 --> 00:13:08.090
check the mail, I was like, oh my God, you

283
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:09.980
could hurt yourself if you fall in there. And they

284
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.389
were doing my neighbor's yards as well. I wanna say

285
00:13:13.450 --> 00:13:16.490
to encourage you. There's sometimes you have to pray about

286
00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:19.129
a thing. There's sometimes that you have to sing praises

287
00:13:19.190 --> 00:13:21.769
about a thing. You have to worship God. Praise and

288
00:13:21.809 --> 00:13:26.190
worship are two different things. Praising God and worshiping God, okay?

289
00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:29.190
Those are two different things, but they're in the same family,

290
00:13:29.230 --> 00:13:31.750
all right? So sometimes you got to praise your way out.

291
00:13:31.789 --> 00:13:33.809
Lord, I thank you. God, I thank you. Jesus, I

292
00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:34.149
thank you.

293
00:13:34.190 --> 00:13:37.340
Holy Spirit, thank you. Hallelujah to the angels. Glory to be.

294
00:13:37.629 --> 00:13:41.789
That's praising. Worshiping is, oh, just in your glory. I just,

295
00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:43.899
I have to bow my head to you, Lord. I'm

296
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.779
lifting my arms of submission to you, Father. And I

297
00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:50.440
worship your name. And day and night, I worship you.

298
00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:53.159
As I think of it, that's worship. You slow it

299
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.059
down a little bit, but that's worship.

300
00:13:55.490 --> 00:13:57.830
Sometimes you have to fast your way out. You know what?

301
00:13:57.889 --> 00:13:59.110
I said, you know what? I am tired.

302
00:13:59.470 --> 00:14:02.309
All of a sudden, foods are tasting really weird these days.

303
00:14:02.389 --> 00:14:04.309
I mean, stuff that I like to eat, stuff that I.

304
00:14:04.269 --> 00:14:06.759
Like to drink. Tasting really gross.

305
00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:09.279
I said, okay, God, you don't have to do it

306
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.919
to me. I won't buy it. And so we're getting ready.

307
00:14:11.950 --> 00:14:14.669
Gleeson is already on it. We're changing some things. And

308
00:14:14.730 --> 00:14:17.610
I'm like, okay, I'm following you this time, baby girl. Yes, ma'am.

309
00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:18.450
You know what?

310
00:14:20.049 --> 00:14:24.429
I thought it was meat. It's not. I was telling

311
00:14:24.450 --> 00:14:27.169
my coworker today, it's like I don't have taste buds

312
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.279
or something. I can't taste certain foods. And I'm thinking,

313
00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:33.299
what is this? Because I know my appetite has changed

314
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.610
a little bit. And she said, well, what is that?

315
00:14:35.750 --> 00:14:38.009
I said, I don't know. You know, certain things I

316
00:14:38.049 --> 00:14:40.750
can tell you, some things I can't. And so they

317
00:14:40.769 --> 00:14:42.450
laugh at me because I think I don't, even if

318
00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:44.049
I fix a lunch, I said, I don't have a

319
00:14:44.110 --> 00:14:46.190
taste for that. You know, it's, I don't want to

320
00:14:46.230 --> 00:14:49.590
just eating, eat just to be eating something and it's

321
00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:52.960
not going to be satisfying. But yeah, I thought it

322
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:53.440
was me.

323
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.259
So it makes sense.

324
00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:54.639
Thank you.

325
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.580
It is. Yeah.

326
00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:55.759
Yeah.

327
00:14:56.259 --> 00:14:59.279
No problem. Yeah, this is real. And so they're leaving

328
00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.840
foods out.

329
00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:02.850
They're leaving stuff that used to sustain foods out and

330
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:03.950
keep things fresh.

331
00:15:03.970 --> 00:15:06.080
You know, they're just they're doing it. They're doing it.

332
00:15:06.110 --> 00:15:08.110
So that's why I'm begging you all go find a

333
00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:10.289
flea market in your area.

334
00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:11.370
And preferably you've.

335
00:15:11.250 --> 00:15:14.980
Got somebody that's bringing fresh vegetables and fruit and even

336
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.899
the fruit. We can't eat all the fruit because a

337
00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:19.600
lot of fruit carry the sugar.

338
00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:22.820


339
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.110
the.

340
00:15:25.950 --> 00:15:28.649
Glucose and all that, it will trigger it.

341
00:15:28.710 --> 00:15:31.210
A1C, thank you so much. It'll trigger it. So we

342
00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:33.429
got to be, you know, and eat it in moderation.

343
00:15:33.809 --> 00:15:36.360
Eat it in moderation. I was telling Belicia, we went

344
00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:38.059
out to lunch yesterday and I was like, you know,

345
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.879
I have never left food on the plate all my

346
00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:43.860
whole life. My parents didn't make me eat. Didn't say, well,

347
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.779
if you want dessert, you got to eat everything. I

348
00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:48.039
always ate everything because my mom, you know, put it

349
00:15:48.090 --> 00:15:51.389
in portions, you know, but I have never left food

350
00:15:51.769 --> 00:15:53.529
as much as I have been leaving food on the

351
00:15:53.570 --> 00:15:54.889
plate this past year.

352
00:15:55.309 --> 00:15:58.149
Because when I'm full, I'm full. I can't eat anymore.

353
00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:00.730
So I'm listening to, I'm really making sure I'm in

354
00:16:00.789 --> 00:16:01.750
tune with my body.

355
00:16:02.129 --> 00:16:04.289
And my body starts to say I'm full. I have

356
00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:07.269
enough to maybe drink something down and that's it. And

357
00:16:07.330 --> 00:16:09.309
I leave, and I don't even bring the food home anymore.

358
00:16:09.330 --> 00:16:11.690
Because my nine times out of 10 is not, when

359
00:16:11.710 --> 00:16:14.690
you reheat it, it doesn't taste right. Or I forget

360
00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:16.809
that it's in there and we end up throwing it

361
00:16:16.870 --> 00:16:18.850
out anyway. So I don't even waste my time anymore.

362
00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:19.509
I just don't.

363
00:16:19.970 --> 00:16:22.909
So, but God is letting, he's getting us ready. He's

364
00:16:22.970 --> 00:16:23.769
getting us ready.

365
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.700
But whatever that's going to look like, whatever our tomorrows

366
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.259
are going to look like, he's getting us ready. Be

367
00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.039
careful about what you're eating. You eat your fight and

368
00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:35.370
everything is not fibrous. You know, you would think I

369
00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:37.259
forgot what it was. I said, oh, I was telling

370
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.509
Felicia I could eat that. She goes, no, that's not enough.

371
00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:42.690
Enough fiber in that fruit. It's got more sugar in

372
00:16:42.730 --> 00:16:43.629
it than it does fiber.

373
00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:46.610
I'm like, oh, wow. So thank God she's been she's.

374
00:16:46.490 --> 00:16:49.610
Just been doing this for herself, just doing it for herself. And,

375
00:16:49.710 --> 00:16:53.330
you know, I mean, there's something to how what you

376
00:16:53.370 --> 00:16:56.490
should be eating according to your age, according to your

377
00:16:56.570 --> 00:16:57.330
health goals.

378
00:16:57.590 --> 00:16:59.789
How many of you all have health goals? Should be

379
00:16:59.830 --> 00:17:02.120
on that vision board. I want you want to lose

380
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.579
50 pounds in a year. Whatever it is, I want

381
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.539
to gain. I want to get muscle. I want all

382
00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:09.180
the inflammation, all the all the stuff that.

383
00:17:09.099 --> 00:17:12.720
Don't need to be that that causes disease and disorder

384
00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.579
and discomfort.

385
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:14.480
I want it out of me.

386
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.920
I want it out of me. And when I'm brushing

387
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.460
my teeth, I say, get out of me. Literally, you

388
00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:22.089
can hear me in my bathroom saying, get out. I

389
00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:25.529
command you to get out of me. God wants us healthy, wealthy,

390
00:17:25.650 --> 00:17:28.410
and wise. With the wealthy part, you got to look

391
00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:31.150
at your view of money. You got to step back

392
00:17:31.190 --> 00:17:33.039
and look, because most of us have been living paycheck

393
00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:36.220
to paycheck most of our adult lives, number one. Number two,

394
00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:38.420
then we got a little headstrong and say, oh, I'm

395
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.339
going to go get this car.

396
00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:40.980
I don't know how some people.

397
00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:43.230
Go out and you're living beyond your means, but yet

398
00:17:43.269 --> 00:17:44.390
you want to complain about it.

399
00:17:44.730 --> 00:17:46.349
I don't understand that. And guess what?

400
00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:48.630
That goes into the box of I don't care because

401
00:17:48.670 --> 00:17:50.029
I don't need to know about it.

402
00:17:50.049 --> 00:17:51.849
That's how you want to live, but I don't want

403
00:17:51.890 --> 00:17:53.809
to hear it. I need to add a plan. There

404
00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:54.970
you go, Mr. Yes, ma'am.

405
00:17:55.410 --> 00:17:58.279
And that just do your vision board on that vision board,

406
00:17:58.339 --> 00:18:02.839
break it down your personal goals and desires, your health

407
00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:07.349
goals and desires, and keep that, that whole category health

408
00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:08.970
and just label it, whatever it is.

409
00:18:09.009 --> 00:18:11.349
You don't have to, Make it paragraphs. Just one word.

410
00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:12.430
I want to lose weight.

411
00:18:12.710 --> 00:18:16.130
I want to gain muscle. I want to lose fat.

412
00:18:16.150 --> 00:18:18.779
Many times we don't talk about losing fat on our body.

413
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:21.079
You just don't want to eat fatty foods. But you

414
00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:23.700
already got fat on your body. So you want to

415
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.559
lose that. This little, what they call it? I forgot

416
00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:28.880
what they call this. The little wing. There's not wings.

417
00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:31.809
There's something else. This flab of fat. And the back

418
00:18:31.849 --> 00:18:34.630
of my arm. I was noticing that I had aunts

419
00:18:34.710 --> 00:18:36.849
that we got the same back of our arm thing.

420
00:18:36.869 --> 00:18:38.009
And I'm like, what is that?

421
00:18:38.049 --> 00:18:40.829
And they're all overweight. Go ahead, Trey. No, no, no.

422
00:18:40.910 --> 00:18:42.630
I was just, I was thinking, I thought they call

423
00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:43.849
it wings, but yeah.

424
00:18:43.869 --> 00:18:46.049
I think it is wings, isn't it? But I call

425
00:18:46.109 --> 00:18:48.950
it flab. But look at it. It's just there. It's

426
00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:49.930
just there.

427
00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.200
Yeah.

428
00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:52.759
I'm showing stuff here. You know, I want that gone,

429
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.880
but guess what? You could do all the arm circles

430
00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:55.319
you want.

431
00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:57.839
It don't move it. So I'm like, okay. All right,

432
00:18:57.859 --> 00:19:00.240
then angels, you got to help me. Jesus, tell me

433
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.079
what I need to do.

434
00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:04.069
And then sometimes it's the food that we eat that

435
00:19:04.109 --> 00:19:06.390
go and deposit itself in certain parts.

436
00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:09.500
Of our body. We got to use wisdom now. Now,

437
00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:11.640
let me speak to those who like, you know what?

438
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.180
I don't mind. I don't. Fine.

439
00:19:14.339 --> 00:19:17.289
Stay right there. But don't you bring it up. Don't

440
00:19:17.349 --> 00:19:20.109
talk about it. Don't complain about it. Don't cry about it.

441
00:19:20.109 --> 00:19:23.059
Don't bellyache about it. Don't have a pity party about it.

442
00:19:23.509 --> 00:19:26.230
Take it out the conversation all along. Because what are

443
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:28.990
you doing? Don't put it on the back burner. You're

444
00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:31.799
just using it as an excuse. You need to judge

445
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.140
yourself so you won't be judged. I don't like being

446
00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:37.720
convicted by the Holy Spirit. So I'm trying to stay

447
00:19:37.789 --> 00:19:40.970
ahead of him by judging myself. And if he comes

448
00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:43.670
around and he said, you know what now? And I'm okay, right.

449
00:19:43.849 --> 00:19:44.289
I got it.

450
00:19:44.450 --> 00:19:47.089
I mean, I call myself on it. I'm telling my flesh,

451
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.430
you're not going to get away with this. We ain't

452
00:19:49.450 --> 00:19:51.630
going there because I'll put you on an involuntary fast

453
00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:54.369
in a minute. Won't eat nothing and watch the food

454
00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:58.519
go by because my health is important. And my physical health,

455
00:19:58.579 --> 00:20:01.440
if my physical health is intact, my mental health will

456
00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.019
be intact.

457
00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:04.599
My emotional health will be intact. And guess what?

458
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.380
My financial health will be intact because I'm not spending.

459
00:20:08.710 --> 00:20:10.170
And, you know, oh, I want to get the chips.

460
00:20:10.190 --> 00:20:10.549
I want to get.

461
00:20:10.769 --> 00:20:13.609
And it's OK to get chips. But you're eating in moderation.

462
00:20:13.869 --> 00:20:16.309
You only get six chips per bag anyway. So they

463
00:20:16.329 --> 00:20:19.450
really helping us out. You only get six, maybe five

464
00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:23.220
if you're lucky. You know, like that, you know, you

465
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:23.920
may get five.

466
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.099
I've counted them. I just got the Fritos and I

467
00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:28.519
just count. I said one, two. Wow. That's a shame.

468
00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.000
I got six.

469
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.240
And half the bag, the other half of the bag

470
00:20:31.289 --> 00:20:33.569
is air. So they've been cheating us a long time.

471
00:20:33.970 --> 00:20:35.849
Don't blame this on the man in the White House.

472
00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:38.950
We've been cheated. We've been lied to. as a country

473
00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:41.589
for a long time. And we're not the only country

474
00:20:41.609 --> 00:20:44.740
that's been lied to. These people sit on lies. They

475
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.900
sit on lies.

476
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:47.960
They sit in it. They love it because they like

477
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:49.359
to see people downtrodden.

478
00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:51.880
They think that they've got it, this entitlement and all

479
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.539
this kind of stuff.

480
00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:56.940
When it all boils down, they're the most depressed people.

481
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.210
They're the most people that think about suicide, killing themselves,

482
00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:05.420
because they're so disappointed in themselves. And these are the billionaires.

483
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.039
And these are the millionaires I'm talking about. Money can't

484
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.440
do nothing for them. I love the show, but look

485
00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:13.529
at the Kardashians. Just watch a couple of episodes. They

486
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.029
all have therapists. Even Chris' boyfriend, Corey, had to go

487
00:21:17.049 --> 00:21:20.509
get him a therapist. You know, because he's like, y'all crazy.

488
00:21:21.190 --> 00:21:23.190
I'm not speaking for them.

489
00:21:23.309 --> 00:21:28.390
But it's humbling. It's very humbling because when you sometimes

490
00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:31.299
don't have the means, and I think that's where Some

491
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.220
people who are in these positions have a hard time

492
00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:37.579
because some of them, I can't say all, some of

493
00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:42.650
them have never experienced struggle. And when I say struggle,

494
00:21:42.730 --> 00:21:45.609
I'm not talking about instead of a billion, you just

495
00:21:45.650 --> 00:21:48.109
have a million. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking

496
00:21:48.170 --> 00:21:51.450
about not knowing where your next meal is coming from,

497
00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:53.410
not knowing if you're going to be able to pay

498
00:21:53.450 --> 00:21:55.170
your bill, not knowing if you're going to have a

499
00:21:55.210 --> 00:21:58.230
place to live. you know, not knowing if, you know,

500
00:21:58.369 --> 00:22:01.829
you'll be able to pay for your medical care. It's

501
00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:06.890
totally different. And sometimes unless you have been there, known

502
00:22:06.930 --> 00:22:11.289
someone that has been affected by that, it appears to be,

503
00:22:11.349 --> 00:22:15.269
and I'm trying to choose my words wisely, it appears

504
00:22:15.329 --> 00:22:18.799
that it's a numbness to it. I don't understand it.

505
00:22:18.849 --> 00:22:22.140
So therefore I will take this back. And sometimes when

506
00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:25.630
you People have a preconceived notion of what someone who

507
00:22:26.109 --> 00:22:29.269
is homeless looks like, someone who is on drugs looks like,

508
00:22:29.730 --> 00:22:34.309
someone who has all these other things going on, a

509
00:22:35.190 --> 00:22:39.319
person who has a criminal record. You know, people have

510
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.259
preconceived notions on what that looks like because of what

511
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.240
the stereotypes say. You know, people that are on food stamps.

512
00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:49.359
There's a certain... Because I've seen it.

513
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.099
I've been around people somewhere... And that's what all the

514
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:57.329
issues are because people think only a certain population experiences this.

515
00:22:58.109 --> 00:23:02.730
But people don't remember you have senior citizens that are

516
00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:06.730
struggling to eat. Sometimes their income is so high, they're

517
00:23:06.789 --> 00:23:11.259
only probably getting maybe $ 5 or $ 10 worth of food stamps.

518
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.740
You can barely buy a bag of chips with $ 10.

519
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:17.180
And so when I say that, when we talk about things,

520
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.960
I think trying to paint a picture of what it

521
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:20.619
could look like.

522
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.940
People figure it's.

523
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.579
A gentleman on the corner and panhandling, and this person

524
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.740
is not as lazy. But you might not be looking

525
00:23:29.819 --> 00:23:32.779
at the family he has back at home or somewhere

526
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.349
or in the woods or camped out somewhere that he's

527
00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:38.329
trying to take care of. And these are scenarios. I'm

528
00:23:38.349 --> 00:23:40.569
not saying it's all the time. And I'm not saying

529
00:23:40.609 --> 00:23:41.250
be jilted.

530
00:23:41.609 --> 00:23:43.549
We've got case studies.

531
00:23:44.069 --> 00:23:44.970
It's cases where.

532
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.240
They want you to be without power for four hours before.

533
00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:50.480
A refund, yet they charge for every minute. Thank you, Charles.

534
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:51.319
Yes, Charles.

535
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:52.119
Good evening, Charles.

536
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.000
So I just, you know, people went out and I

537
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:58.569
think this audience just before we judge or what we

538
00:23:58.589 --> 00:24:03.210
think something of particular category looks like, think about it.

539
00:24:04.210 --> 00:24:06.789
Think about it. And so, you know, when you talk

540
00:24:06.809 --> 00:24:09.549
about people who are criminals and stuff like that, people

541
00:24:09.589 --> 00:24:12.650
forget you got that white collar crime. which people don't think.

542
00:24:12.690 --> 00:24:15.589
You're talking about your embezzlement, your money laundering. You're talking

543
00:24:15.630 --> 00:24:19.069
about all that stuff. That's still a crime. But when

544
00:24:19.089 --> 00:24:21.769
people say crime, here I go thinking about this one

545
00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:22.890
particular or.

546
00:24:22.829 --> 00:24:25.200
Few groups that did that.

547
00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:28.000
If you're going to be global, be global all the

548
00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:31.200
way and think about the broader sense of things, not

549
00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.380
what you think you're seeing.

550
00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:33.859
Right.

551
00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:39.890
Again, along the same railroad, the same tracks I'm running

552
00:24:39.930 --> 00:24:42.970
right with you, Don't get it twisted about the wealthy,

553
00:24:43.369 --> 00:24:46.529
those who have held their money. Because they too are,

554
00:24:47.009 --> 00:24:50.690
if you listen closely, they're losing it. Ever since the

555
00:24:50.849 --> 00:24:54.369
first Great Depression, they've not been the same. Because they're

556
00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:55.130
thinking that their.

557
00:24:55.029 --> 00:24:57.839
Money will save them. The money will get them happiness.

558
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.000
And it doesn't. They go through more divorces, more relationships.

559
00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:05.819
An actor, a 13-year-old daughter just killed herself in the

560
00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.319
last week.

561
00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:08.220
And they kept saying, she was always bright. She was

562
00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:11.400
always happy. And I'm like, and this and, you know.

563
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.500
Again, what gets me is when I just wonder immediately

564
00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:17.990
when I look down, I'll scroll down through the story.

565
00:25:18.009 --> 00:25:20.089
They don't want to give the reason why or what happened.

566
00:25:20.329 --> 00:25:22.130
But then it's if you know somebody who is suffering

567
00:25:22.150 --> 00:25:25.029
from mental illness or suicidal, here are these numbers.

568
00:25:25.509 --> 00:25:26.190
So there you go.

569
00:25:26.730 --> 00:25:28.700
It hurts my heart because I still can't get it

570
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.880
in my head that people just don't have anybody to

571
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.380
talk to, to talk them off that ledge. I have

572
00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:37.299
a hard time with that trait. And my viewers out there,

573
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.289
I personally, because there is somebody out there that's willing

574
00:25:41.309 --> 00:25:43.990
to listen. And it's not so much somebody behind a

575
00:25:44.049 --> 00:25:46.829
desk and in an office sometime. It should be somebody

576
00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:51.150
in that synagogue or in that mosque or at that church,

577
00:25:51.170 --> 00:25:54.650
that little storefront church over there that's willing to listen.

578
00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:58.700
And I'm faulting those people who have the time, who

579
00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.720
have the gift to listen, but you want to put

580
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.779
a dollar amount and run people away. You want to

581
00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:06.279
put a title on your name and you run people away.

582
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.619
So you see how messed up the world is. Go ahead, Trey.

583
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:16.609
No, and I think that identifying resources too, because I'm

584
00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:19.289
in the world, you're in the world of believers. We're

585
00:26:19.309 --> 00:26:23.269
believers on here. But sometimes when you're going through something,

586
00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:26.349
when you're at the lowest of the low, and I'm

587
00:26:26.390 --> 00:26:28.670
talking about people who feel like they have no hope,

588
00:26:28.710 --> 00:26:31.670
people who feel that God has let them down because

589
00:26:31.730 --> 00:26:34.150
they don't know the God that we know. You know,

590
00:26:34.170 --> 00:26:37.410
they don't have that relationship and understanding. You got to

591
00:26:37.470 --> 00:26:43.660
get to know God. And sometimes things are presented to

592
00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:45.859
you because he wants you to work it out. And

593
00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:49.119
he's not intentionally doing stuff, but sometimes we put ourselves

594
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.420
in certain situations as well. But I'm talking about fundamental,

595
00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:57.910
the mental health part and prayer is good but if

596
00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:00.849
you're at we if you're dealing and miss gray you

597
00:27:00.910 --> 00:27:04.880
work with folks that uh psychotic behaviors and just all

598
00:27:04.930 --> 00:27:07.180
kinds of things just going through the mind that's schizophrenia

599
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.279
if you're especially if you're not managing the symptoms of

600
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:13.619
it all types of voices are going in there and

601
00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:16.869
so you have to work with what's presented and Maybe

602
00:27:16.910 --> 00:27:19.410
we could do a first aid or something of what

603
00:27:19.450 --> 00:27:22.029
to do with that because they're not thinking clearly. So, well,

604
00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:22.529
let me pray.

605
00:27:22.890 --> 00:27:23.960
You can pray about it.

606
00:27:24.390 --> 00:27:27.740
But if you're talking about about somebody who feels hopeless

607
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.460
and that they don't have a hope in God anyway,

608
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.019
you got to find out what resources to get. And

609
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.779
I'm not saying don't pray for them. I'm just saying, right.

610
00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.400
Yeah.

611
00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:40.089
Find a way to meet them where they are and then,

612
00:27:40.609 --> 00:27:43.009
you know, say, well, you know what? Let's we're going

613
00:27:43.029 --> 00:27:44.289
to pray on this and I'm going to help you

614
00:27:44.329 --> 00:27:47.970
do this. along with something, you know what I mean?

615
00:27:48.190 --> 00:27:51.069
And us keeping to keep giving you money to help

616
00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:53.950
you out of your bill situation is not helping you.

617
00:27:54.430 --> 00:27:57.839
It's making you enabled and dependent on me or on us.

618
00:27:58.490 --> 00:28:00.380
So that doesn't help. So let me teach you how

619
00:28:00.410 --> 00:28:02.599
to fish. Let me teach you how to fish.

620
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.400
I'm not going to.

621
00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:06.039
Keep giving you fish. Those seasons, that season is over with.

622
00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.819
It tickles me. People call us.

623
00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:11.059
Oh yeah. Well, you know, I'm not, I'm just not.

624
00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:12.920
And when they start singing to me, I don't, I

625
00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:14.069
want to hang up the phone because I don't want

626
00:28:14.089 --> 00:28:14.430
to hear it.

627
00:28:14.809 --> 00:28:15.450
Cause here you go.

628
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:18.670
You manipulate, you try to manipulate me into thinking that

629
00:28:18.730 --> 00:28:20.369
as always, I could get, you know, if I could

630
00:28:20.390 --> 00:28:23.269
call her, no, you've, you've got all the how to.

631
00:28:23.869 --> 00:28:26.819
You've been warned that it's application time. Now you should

632
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.819
be in the lifestyle realm of things. And I get it.

633
00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:33.539
You're absolutely right about, you know, that mindset and everything else.

634
00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:36.819
And yes, we know that prayer doesn't. That's why you

635
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.759
could praise. That's why I was saying stop at the

636
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.720
top of the show. I was like, sometimes you have

637
00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:43.390
to praise your way out. Sometimes you have to pray

638
00:28:43.410 --> 00:28:43.930
your way out.

639
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:44.799
I'm in the.

640
00:28:44.819 --> 00:28:48.289
Hospital coming out of a coma. Realize this. I went

641
00:28:48.329 --> 00:28:50.890
in in October. I'm opening my eyes up the week

642
00:28:50.930 --> 00:28:52.569
of a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

643
00:28:52.930 --> 00:28:53.410
Oh, yeah.

644
00:28:53.750 --> 00:28:56.750
Sometimes you get confused. And I'm hallucinating, too, because of

645
00:28:56.789 --> 00:28:58.869
all the drugs that I'm put in me and everything.

646
00:28:58.950 --> 00:29:00.549
Try to revive me and bring me back.

647
00:29:00.970 --> 00:29:02.410
Oh, yeah. I know what that's about.

648
00:29:02.930 --> 00:29:03.690
Even me.

649
00:29:04.230 --> 00:29:06.950
I got confused. I'm like, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit in

650
00:29:06.990 --> 00:29:08.740
my room. Who do I pray to?

651
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.779
Because I don't understand this. And that's when I had

652
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.009
my limbs. I was just bandaged up. and couldn't move.

653
00:29:15.430 --> 00:29:16.109
So it can happen.

654
00:29:16.569 --> 00:29:18.619
And I've been, I was thinking today about going to

655
00:29:18.630 --> 00:29:21.240
the payday loan place, you know, I had two pieces

656
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.619
of gold jewelry and, you know, and pawning that at

657
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.200
the pawn shop and going back and paying for it and.

658
00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:27.759
Lost it almost a couple of times.

659
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.799
Oh, I've been there, done that, wrote the book about it.

660
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:35.170
Marriage failed. Second marriage about to fail. The husband dies.

661
00:29:35.470 --> 00:29:38.690
The abuse, the verbal abuse, the mental abuse. Then you,

662
00:29:38.930 --> 00:29:42.019
and if you've been abused, you got that self-thought that,

663
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:43.759
oh man, maybe I deserve that.

664
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:45.859
Maybe I brought this on myself.

665
00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:48.720
And I know this is a domestic violence awareness month,

666
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:50.599
but you want a man to talk to you any

667
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:52.559
kind of way, your spouse or your girlfriend or whoever

668
00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:54.359
to talk to you any kind of way. I'll be like, no,

669
00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:55.240
I'll be talking.

670
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.519
To the TV. Like you, you need to get rid

671
00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:58.099
of him. You need to get rid of her. You

672
00:29:58.140 --> 00:30:00.460
don't hear what she's saying. So yeah, I've been there,

673
00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:02.789
done that. Been there, done that.

674
00:30:02.829 --> 00:30:05.809
But for me, what got me out of that, thank

675
00:30:05.869 --> 00:30:08.789
God I worked on my relationship with God. And I'm

676
00:30:08.809 --> 00:30:10.509
gonna read a couple of things to you here. And

677
00:30:10.690 --> 00:30:13.789
hopefully this is gonna just really shed some light. You

678
00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:16.619
can't dress up well enough to impress God. Let me

679
00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:19.099
get you straight right there. You can't go and buy

680
00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:24.230
the fanciest perfume ever. the most expensive clothing, get the

681
00:30:24.269 --> 00:30:28.410
most expensive hairdo or shave or haircut. You can't buy

682
00:30:28.450 --> 00:30:31.119
the best jewelry to get God's attention. Do you know

683
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:32.740
whose attention he like?

684
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:34.319
You want to get God's attention?

685
00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:37.160
Go to your lowest. Fall to your knees and say,

686
00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:40.150
I am so sorry. I've wasted some time. That's what

687
00:30:40.170 --> 00:30:42.890
he's listening for. And immediately God will say, I think

688
00:30:42.910 --> 00:30:45.670
that's my daughter calling. You can't dress yourself up. You

689
00:30:45.690 --> 00:30:46.410
can't pronounce.

690
00:30:46.690 --> 00:30:50.849
You can't have perfect diction and eloquence of speech. And you,

691
00:30:50.950 --> 00:30:54.509
you know, you present well and you, you can't come

692
00:30:54.789 --> 00:30:55.859
as you are.

693
00:30:56.390 --> 00:30:59.839
All ye that are heavy laden and burdened down. That's

694
00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:02.859
who he's looking for. Because when you're burdened down so bad,

695
00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:06.450
you can't even look up. You cannot even physically look up.

696
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:08.480
But you have to look to the hills for which

697
00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:11.369
cometh your help. We have a father that owns cattle

698
00:31:11.410 --> 00:31:14.490
on a thousand hills. And what really started really just

699
00:31:14.789 --> 00:31:17.130
getting in my brain was when I realized, wait a minute,

700
00:31:17.390 --> 00:31:18.630
you know everything.

701
00:31:18.970 --> 00:31:20.640
You knew that I was going to.

702
00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:23.319
Go through this by being in this family, being at

703
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:25.920
that school, being in that neighborhood.

704
00:31:26.140 --> 00:31:29.160
You knew. And I'm talking to those who've been abused too.

705
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.740
He knew. Okay, so since you knew, you allowed, you allowed.

706
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:36.799
So if you're allowing this, there's something good's got to

707
00:31:36.859 --> 00:31:39.400
come out on the other side. You got to flip

708
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.990
the script because he ain't gonna leave you in that mess.

709
00:31:42.289 --> 00:31:43.289
You learn a lesson.

710
00:31:43.349 --> 00:31:45.829
How many of you can just say, oh God, when

711
00:31:45.849 --> 00:31:47.710
I was going through something bad, but when I got

712
00:31:47.789 --> 00:31:49.789
out of it, I can look back and say, wait

713
00:31:49.829 --> 00:31:52.440
a minute. I know better now. No, I can't go

714
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.819
down that street. That's full of potholes there. Why would

715
00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:57.269
you keep going down a street that's a one-way street

716
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.210
that's full of potholes? When you got a four-lane highway

717
00:32:00.269 --> 00:32:03.190
over here, four-lane street over here, two-lane street over here.

718
00:32:03.269 --> 00:32:06.490
That just got paid. Why do you do that? Self-sabotage.

719
00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:10.670
You're sabotaging yourself. My kids, my twins call me out. Ma,

720
00:32:11.049 --> 00:32:13.730
you know, you're drinking. Did you drink any water today, mom?

721
00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:16.480
And yeah, I get mad. Don't worry about if I

722
00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:18.460
drank any water today. You drank water today?

723
00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.039
Oh yeah.

724
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:20.920
And I know it makes them feel bad, but they

725
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.160
are not able to stand up to me and say, well,

726
00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.019
we just asked.

727
00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:26.839
And there are times BJ just bring me my water jug.

728
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:27.819
You want something to drink?

729
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.299
Here you go.

730
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.140
And I'll be like, and you know, I'm not feeling good,

731
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:32.200
not feeling good to get up.

732
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.950
And stuff like, cause I have my days guys. I

733
00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:35.670
have my days.

734
00:32:35.730 --> 00:32:38.500
I'm not feeling good because I got this sense that

735
00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:42.640
I don't have phantom pain. I have phantom sensations. And

736
00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:45.140
today the devil was just did not want me to

737
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.859
hear the word.

738
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.460
He didn't want me to bring the word.

739
00:32:47.859 --> 00:32:50.759
I was almost this tempted to text Trey and say,

740
00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:52.740
you're going to take it tonight because I'm in pain.

741
00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:55.240
And all of a sudden it's like my thumb is

742
00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:58.140
in my amputated arm for those who are on radio

743
00:32:58.690 --> 00:33:01.450
and my thumb on my left hand, which I no

744
00:33:01.490 --> 00:33:04.029
longer have a hand was pressing.

745
00:33:04.549 --> 00:33:05.230
On my nerve.

746
00:33:05.630 --> 00:33:09.569
It's my thumb, guys. And I don't physically have one.

747
00:33:09.990 --> 00:33:12.390
And there's nothing I can do about it. Even if

748
00:33:12.430 --> 00:33:14.160
I go to the emergency room and say, just cut

749
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:17.019
this open and let me scratch. They look at me,

750
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:19.559
they quickly put me on the psych ward. But if

751
00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:21.549
you don't, you've never been amputated, you don't know what

752
00:33:21.569 --> 00:33:24.490
I'm talking about. And for some reason, just a little sidebar,

753
00:33:24.950 --> 00:33:27.029
most of my amputees that I kind of know and

754
00:33:27.089 --> 00:33:29.309
don't know I've been on podcasts with or been on,

755
00:33:29.609 --> 00:33:32.490
you know, workshops with and Zoom calls and whatever, they

756
00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:36.559
all call it phantom pain. And I'm not I'm not

757
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.599
negating that, but I have phantom sensation. Now, today it

758
00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:42.920
led to pain because it was the thumb that I

759
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.140
don't have. So I have to talk to who do

760
00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:47.019
I talk to about that? Who do I talk to

761
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:49.670
about that? I had to talk to my flesh. And

762
00:33:49.710 --> 00:33:52.089
do you know what I said today? Because it kept

763
00:33:52.250 --> 00:33:54.509
bothering me. I couldn't even nod off. I couldn't do

764
00:33:54.569 --> 00:33:57.769
nothing about it. There's no taking no aspirin. When I'm

765
00:33:57.789 --> 00:34:00.190
taking an aspirin for something that doesn't, it's not in there.

766
00:34:00.670 --> 00:34:05.509
There's no medication. There's no heat. There's no compresses or

767
00:34:05.750 --> 00:34:08.510
ice packs. There's nothing to get rid of that. So

768
00:34:08.570 --> 00:34:10.280
who do I have to talk to today? I had

769
00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:12.860
to talk to my flesh. I said, I tell you what,

770
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.989
I'll go to my hand doctor next week and tell

771
00:34:16.030 --> 00:34:17.230
him to take my whole arm off.

772
00:34:17.510 --> 00:34:21.050
Don't play with me. Don't distract me, flesh. Take my

773
00:34:21.090 --> 00:34:23.210
whole arm. Now I'm gonna see what you're gonna do, flesh.

774
00:34:23.329 --> 00:34:24.849
It went away. It stopped.

775
00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:28.309
I called out to Jesus too, but I told my flesh, no,

776
00:34:28.489 --> 00:34:29.670
I'll have him take that whole arm off.

777
00:34:30.070 --> 00:34:30.590
And guess what?

778
00:34:31.030 --> 00:34:33.130
Since I got the gift of motivation and I can

779
00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:35.590
convince you of things, I'll convince him, no, this whole

780
00:34:35.630 --> 00:34:37.889
thing need to go. You're not gonna disturb me. You're

781
00:34:37.909 --> 00:34:41.010
not gonna distract me. There's work that needs to be done.

782
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.420
So I'm pleading with you all. Get your vision boards together.

783
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.179
Go back, throw out what you've not even adhered to.

784
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.329
You haven't looked at it in months. Throw that one

785
00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:51.150
away and do a new one today for the month

786
00:34:51.170 --> 00:34:52.949
of October. Because you're going to see why when I

787
00:34:52.969 --> 00:34:54.429
share some other things with you, you're going to see

788
00:34:54.449 --> 00:34:56.230
why you're going to need one. But check out my

789
00:34:56.269 --> 00:35:00.010
daily bread today. It's not today's date, but I was

790
00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:02.030
catching up and this was yesterday's.

791
00:35:02.309 --> 00:35:03.829
So I'm going to read it to you. Hang on.

792
00:35:04.250 --> 00:35:06.300
I think of you, the scripture says, I think of

793
00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:08.860
you through the watches of the night because you are

794
00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:12.119
my help. This is Psalm 63, verses six through seven.

795
00:35:12.139 --> 00:35:15.300
That's Uncle David talking to God. You are my help.

796
00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:18.539
And it's entitled In the Stillness. When I was a

797
00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:20.320
kid and got up in the middle of the night,

798
00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:23.019
I often found mom sitting in her chair in the

799
00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:25.409
living room. The glow of the table lamp revealed a

800
00:35:25.449 --> 00:35:28.150
book in her lap, on her lap, her Bible. My

801
00:35:28.190 --> 00:35:31.690
mom had trouble sleeping because of her insomnia and chronic pain,

802
00:35:32.030 --> 00:35:34.409
but she made good use of her time. We rarely

803
00:35:34.469 --> 00:35:37.429
spoke those nights. I was too sleepy to do anything

804
00:35:37.489 --> 00:35:39.989
but nod and shuffle down the hall. But I know

805
00:35:40.050 --> 00:35:43.860
mom connected with God in those quiet early morning hours

806
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:47.059
and God spoke to her. How can we find moments

807
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:49.739
to know God more fully? We don't have to wait

808
00:35:49.780 --> 00:35:53.360
for a sleepless night, of course. Jesus left his companions

809
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:56.780
to spend time alone, talking alone with his father. Mark

810
00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:00.920
chapter 135. The scriptures say, be still and know that.

811
00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:03.460
I am God. Psalms 46 and 10.

812
00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:06.159
And David's poetry often reveals how he sought out an

813
00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:07.610
intimate relationship.

814
00:36:07.150 --> 00:36:09.909
With God to praise him for who he is.

815
00:36:10.389 --> 00:36:14.639
And that was Psalm 63, one through eight, actually. And

816
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.380
the scripture I read was verses six and seven, but

817
00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:20.400
he's saying verses one through eight. The world is loud

818
00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:24.219
and we're often distracted by the noise. It claims our

819
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:27.699
attention and demands our participation. That's why we need to

820
00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:31.719
actively seek out the quiet moments rarely found in the

821
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.619
chaos of family life or the busyness of work. We

822
00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:37.679
find God in the stillness.

823
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:40.059
He's awake. He's listening.

824
00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:43.659
And he's always ready to spend time with those who seek.

825
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.039
And the prayer is, dear.

826
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.679
Jesus, please teach me how, teach me to seek you

827
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.500
out and rest in your presence. Help me to put

828
00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:53.099
aside the distractions and to praise.

829
00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:55.449
You for who you are. So it's not, God's not

830
00:36:55.489 --> 00:36:56.110
in the noise.

831
00:36:56.429 --> 00:36:59.269
He's in the quietness. He's off to the sides, being quiet.

832
00:36:59.329 --> 00:37:02.980
And He's such a perfect gentleman. He waits until we

833
00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:06.519
come to him. He waits until we make up our mind.

834
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.679
So real quick, some golden nuggets. Now, again, those of

835
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:13.659
you who have already subscribed, they're setting it straight on Facebook.

836
00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:17.239
Go take a look at my entry today. It's Prophet

837
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:22.559
Giles talking about today's prophetic forecast, but he numbered some

838
00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:25.460
keys that's gonna help us as we enter into the

839
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:25.780
year 2027.

840
00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:29.550
The first one is tighten up your circle. Proverbs 12

841
00:37:29.550 --> 00:37:30.530
and 26.

842
00:37:30.530 --> 00:37:33.570
Tighten up your circle. You can't help everybody. And I

843
00:37:33.630 --> 00:37:34.989
am not going to have somebody that's going to be

844
00:37:35.010 --> 00:37:36.760
dragging me. Been through too much.

845
00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:37.550
I'm not.

846
00:37:37.570 --> 00:37:40.519
So tighten up your circle. Number two, create systems for

847
00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:43.849
your managing. your world, for managing your world.

848
00:37:44.130 --> 00:37:48.000
So that's, you know, you must have a plan of

849
00:37:48.059 --> 00:37:50.380
how you're gonna do it. Have a plan.

850
00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:52.639
The only plan I had to lose weight was God said,

851
00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:55.250
you work out three times a week for 15 minutes

852
00:37:55.409 --> 00:37:57.829
in your house. I will double, I will make sure

853
00:37:57.869 --> 00:38:00.369
you lose not only two pounds, but it will stay off.

854
00:38:00.809 --> 00:38:02.789
I was doing it before I was admitted into the hospital.

855
00:38:03.090 --> 00:38:05.119
I did it this past year. Went right back to

856
00:38:05.139 --> 00:38:08.559
been doing it, but being consistent. And whether it's stretching,

857
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:12.239
it's all kinds of exercises you can do. Strategic, doing

858
00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:15.500
your obliques, just moving your rib cage, nothing else. I mean,

859
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.139
if that's what you want to do, okay? Adding weights,

860
00:38:18.219 --> 00:38:21.690
Dollar General now have weights, five pound weights, one pound weights.

861
00:38:21.829 --> 00:38:23.550
You ain't got to go and join a gym. Now,

862
00:38:23.590 --> 00:38:25.409
some of you may need discipline, so you may need

863
00:38:25.429 --> 00:38:27.239
a trainer, but if you can afford it, go for it.

864
00:38:27.269 --> 00:38:29.510
If not, there's a lot of free stuff on YouTube.

865
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.079
Lots of free stuff. Okay, number three, you must get

866
00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:37.130
rid of strife. It takes the place of peace. You

867
00:38:37.190 --> 00:38:39.829
must get rid of strife in your life. I just

868
00:38:39.849 --> 00:38:42.510
did a big one and I'm not looking back. I'm

869
00:38:42.550 --> 00:38:45.599
not looking back. I'm not going to.

870
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:45.940
Be like that.

871
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.260
You're not going to keep me in a fog. You're

872
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:49.150
not going to keep me confused. And there's several scriptures.

873
00:38:50.170 --> 00:38:52.429
You got to get rid of the quarreling, the discord,

874
00:38:52.449 --> 00:38:54.710
the dis-ease. If somebody's not comfortable around you, why do

875
00:38:54.730 --> 00:38:57.030
you have to engage them? You can be nice and say, hey,

876
00:38:57.070 --> 00:38:59.909
how you doing? Good morning, everybody. Keep walking to your desk.

877
00:39:00.190 --> 00:39:01.050
Good night, everybody.

878
00:39:01.110 --> 00:39:05.139
Keep on walking to your car. Number four, you need

879
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.920
to have godly counsel. You need to have somebody that

880
00:39:07.940 --> 00:39:11.159
you know that You trust knows the Lord. And not

881
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.519
only that they trusted because of how they present themselves,

882
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.159
but because whatever they've said to you made a difference,

883
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:20.719
caused you to change, caused you to think a little differently,

884
00:39:20.929 --> 00:39:24.670
caused you to wonder, caused you to lean in, tighten up.

885
00:39:25.030 --> 00:39:28.949
You started taking notes. You started studying. Like the family

886
00:39:28.989 --> 00:39:31.840
group that went to the store and got, you know,

887
00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:37.420
Christian-like material, spiritually-based material, and fed, you know, come on.

888
00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:41.320
That's four is godly counsel. Number five, make preparation to

889
00:39:41.409 --> 00:39:42.710
enjoy your life.

890
00:39:43.050 --> 00:39:44.769
I can ask, that was one of the questions I

891
00:39:44.789 --> 00:39:47.559
would ask my clients coming in. What does strife mean?

892
00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:55.360
Just discord, quarrelsome, disagreements, unhappiness. That's it.

893
00:39:55.460 --> 00:39:57.840
And also, you know, look that word up because I'm

894
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.590
sure it's got many other definitions attached to it.

895
00:40:01.070 --> 00:40:03.849
Trey, you looking it up? Okay. Whenever you get it,

896
00:40:03.869 --> 00:40:07.369
just interrupt me. Okay. Thank you. No problem.

897
00:40:07.630 --> 00:40:10.030
Make preparation to enjoy your life. That was one of

898
00:40:10.050 --> 00:40:12.349
the questions I would ask my clients. What makes you happy?

899
00:40:12.750 --> 00:40:16.329
And they'd be like, oh, wow. I really can't tell you.

900
00:40:16.780 --> 00:40:19.449
And they couldn't. So I can only imagine if, I guess,

901
00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:20.750
oh yeah, I'll tell y'all that at the end.

902
00:40:21.070 --> 00:40:23.050
But yeah, I can only imagine what people are saying

903
00:40:23.090 --> 00:40:25.750
today because of the world and the chaos and the craziness,

904
00:40:26.250 --> 00:40:29.210
the recalls and everything else that's going on. And number six,

905
00:40:29.389 --> 00:40:33.510
do something new. Do something new that you've never done before.

906
00:40:33.869 --> 00:40:36.550
I'm getting ready to go do another thing at the

907
00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:38.780
end of the year that I've never would do.

908
00:40:39.179 --> 00:40:41.639
But I felt the call. I felt the unction. And

909
00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:43.400
I said, okay, I got to make out. I got

910
00:40:43.420 --> 00:40:45.039
to make it. It's got to happen.

911
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:45.420
Amen.

912
00:40:45.929 --> 00:40:46.409
Go ahead, Trey.

913
00:40:46.429 --> 00:40:49.869
Okay, so it says means a heated, angry, or violent

914
00:40:49.909 --> 00:40:54.690
conflict and strong disagreement between people or groups. It also

915
00:40:54.769 --> 00:41:00.380
means a conflict, discord, dissension, antagonism, quarrel, and friction.

916
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.900
There you go. And all of that does what? Distract you,

917
00:41:03.980 --> 00:41:06.079
deplete you, drain you.

918
00:41:06.539 --> 00:41:08.199
You got to continue to argue with somebody.

919
00:41:08.219 --> 00:41:10.380
You're saying the same thing. We've been arguing over the

920
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:13.530
same thing. We're disagreeing. Can we just agree to disagree?

921
00:41:13.550 --> 00:41:15.170
And that really doesn't work.

922
00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:17.000
For a lot of people, I know they'll say it

923
00:41:17.019 --> 00:41:19.739
because it's a nice little jargon. Well, we'll just agree

924
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.239
to disagree. But you're still talking about it. You're still

925
00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:24.579
gossiping about it. You're having dreams about it. You just,

926
00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:26.900
I need to tell this person off. I know that

927
00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:29.989
we can't agree to disagree. That's just a slogan. Y'all don't,

928
00:41:30.030 --> 00:41:31.949
some of y'all don't practice. Some people don't practice that

929
00:41:31.989 --> 00:41:34.349
for real, for real. No, just like I said, oh,

930
00:41:34.369 --> 00:41:38.150
and these, what's another saying? I don't want to go

931
00:41:38.170 --> 00:41:40.030
into it, but there's some sayings y'all say. And I'm like,

932
00:41:40.989 --> 00:41:43.010
you know, you just never done before or have not

933
00:41:43.070 --> 00:41:44.250
done so in a long time.

934
00:41:44.659 --> 00:41:46.789
Never done. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

935
00:41:47.210 --> 00:41:50.289
But the way he presented it today was do something new,

936
00:41:50.750 --> 00:41:52.909
something you have never done before.

937
00:41:53.409 --> 00:41:55.750
Isaiah chapter 43.

938
00:41:55.750 --> 00:41:58.019
Verse 18 to 19. But I want y'all to go back,

939
00:41:58.079 --> 00:41:59.159
go over the setting is straight.

940
00:41:59.539 --> 00:42:00.070
Listen to it.

941
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:02.119
Jot down those scriptures because it's going to help you

942
00:42:02.139 --> 00:42:04.739
because it's word. It's all word based. And this is

943
00:42:04.780 --> 00:42:08.010
God preparing us for 2027. This is not the remaining

944
00:42:08.030 --> 00:42:08.570
of this year.

945
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:11.349
This is for January 1st, 2027.

946
00:42:11.349 --> 00:42:15.599
12.01 a.m. So, whatever's getting ready to jump, we got

947
00:42:15.619 --> 00:42:18.469
to be prepared emotionally. We got to let people go.

948
00:42:18.489 --> 00:42:21.050
I don't care who they are because if you're not

949
00:42:21.070 --> 00:42:23.630
helping me to grow, you're not motivating me, you cannot

950
00:42:23.690 --> 00:42:27.519
be in my life. You cannot be. You cannot be.

951
00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:30.820
And you can't change them. The only person you can

952
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:34.099
change is age three and below. Your fifth graders, your

953
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.559
sixth graders, you can't change them unless they want to what?

954
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:38.159
Be changed. Unless what?

955
00:42:38.449 --> 00:42:41.590
They know that there's a problem. And they acknowledge the problem.

956
00:42:42.030 --> 00:42:45.170
My young people, you're listening. Go and ask God, you know,

957
00:42:45.210 --> 00:42:47.989
please help me to be a better person. And you

958
00:42:48.030 --> 00:42:51.010
may have to start by apologizing to your parents for

959
00:42:51.030 --> 00:42:53.539
not understanding, for not having the patience, for not wanting

960
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:54.340
to hear their voice.

961
00:42:54.699 --> 00:42:55.840
If you really want this bad.

962
00:42:56.679 --> 00:43:00.519
And some grown folks will need to say, too, ask

963
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:02.449
God to be. So this is very true.

964
00:43:02.510 --> 00:43:04.130
Yes, Charles.

965
00:43:04.349 --> 00:43:06.690
So grown people that need to ask God to help

966
00:43:06.730 --> 00:43:08.909
them to be a better person is you just have

967
00:43:09.010 --> 00:43:12.110
you have some people just miserable and it may everybody

968
00:43:12.170 --> 00:43:14.309
else miserable. It's like that spirit on them.

969
00:43:14.329 --> 00:43:15.949
You could tell. So what is that?

970
00:43:16.929 --> 00:43:21.250
Frowning, meet what they call a mean mugging, just nasty attitude,

971
00:43:21.289 --> 00:43:23.130
nasty behavior. Nothing works right.

972
00:43:23.570 --> 00:43:24.030
Excuse me.

973
00:43:24.269 --> 00:43:26.760
Nothing works right. You know, they need to pray and

974
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:29.659
ask God to make them a better person to be around.

975
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.280
Yeah. Oh, you won't be around. Exactly.

976
00:43:32.300 --> 00:43:34.969
Like the boy that cried wolf. Ain't nobody going to

977
00:43:34.989 --> 00:43:37.269
let know. I ain't going to that house. He always mean.

978
00:43:37.429 --> 00:43:39.670
When they say nothing, we cussing out and everything. We

979
00:43:39.690 --> 00:43:42.780
about to flood. Everybody evacuate the whole city. We ain't

980
00:43:42.820 --> 00:43:43.699
going to evacuate him.

981
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:48.539
No, you stay there. Exactly. I'm telling you, people remember stuff.

982
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:51.619
But anyway, that's our time. We're going to go. Again,

983
00:43:51.659 --> 00:43:53.340
your homework is going to be go over to Setting

984
00:43:53.380 --> 00:43:54.440
It Straight with Ms. Gray.

985
00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:57.400
You know, ask to log, you know, to become a,

986
00:43:57.500 --> 00:43:59.719
to log on and subscribe to the page so you

987
00:43:59.739 --> 00:44:03.079
can still see some in-between notes and things like that.

988
00:44:03.099 --> 00:44:04.800
