  Good evening everyone, Thank you for joining me today to the Nations where
• 3:53
  Prophet Simon Williams Young. Thank you so much for joining me. I missed
• 4:00
  everyone last week, had a bit of a family emergency. And thank you
• 4:08
  to the visionary of the Crew podcasts, Angela for filling in for me last
• 4:15
  week. I really do appreciate you. I appreciate, appreciate every one of
• 4:21
  you. Today I'm just coming through and today we're just gonna have a conversation.
• 4:30
  Uh, you know, no guests, no bills, no whistle,
• 4:35
  just conversation. And thank you so much for my podcast sisters, Latanya,
• 4:43
  Shanette and all of my podcast sisters for joining in. I do appreciate you.
• 4:49
  Make sure on the Crew podcast you check out some amazing amazing hostess.
• 4:57
  Each one of them has amazing shows on this particular station, and I appreciate
• 5:02
  all their support and all of their health. Today, I just wanted to
• 5:09
  just encourage you as I encourage myself. Lately, life has been lifing.
• 5:19
  Life has definitely been lifing. But as we all know, God is still
• 5:26
  God no matter what we go through in life. He promised to never leave
• 5:33
  us, He promised to never forsake us, and that has been my journey
• 5:41
  in the past couple of months. So today it's gonna be a little transparency,
• 5:46
  a little bit of just anything that I'm going through if it can help
• 5:51
  encourage anyone else to just keep pushing. You know, life is hard sometimes,
• 6:00
  but continue to have faith in God and He will definitely see you through.
• 6:06
  This past week, my husband had a medical emergency. Doctors wanted to
• 6:14
  say all kind of crazy things, but God is faithful. God said not
• 6:20
  so, and he definitely turned that thing around. So I do always have
• 6:26
  to give glory to my Father God for everything that he has done for me.
• 6:33
  So I'm gonna talk. I want to just encourage a little bit about
• 6:36
  self care, natural care, and spiritual care. They go hand in hand.
• 6:46
  There's no way that I could have gone through a lot of the adversities
• 6:50
  that I have had to faith over time had I not had a strong faith
• 6:57
  in God. So not only do I have to have strong faith in God,
• 7:00
  and I have to feed my spirit prayer, fasting, reading the Word
• 7:06
  of God, you know, coming together with my brothers and sisters who are
• 7:12
  like minded. Right, iron sharpens iron, and we definitely need our brothers
• 7:16
  and sisters. A lot of us like to feel sometimes that we can carry
• 7:23
  everything on our shoulders and that we don't need anyone, and that's not true.
• 7:28
  God designed us all. He wants us to be a unit. He
• 7:31
  wants us to be in unity, and he wants us all to be helpers
• 7:35
  one to another. So just encourage, you know, those who feel like
• 7:42
  they're superwomen, superman. Hey guys, we can't walk this journey alone,
• 7:48
  you know, as much as we like to think, you know, we
• 7:54
  can carry everything on our shoulders. So I just wanted to encourage people to
• 7:59
  not only take care of their spiritual self, but also their natural self.
• 8:05
  Just transparency. You know, I've found life, Like I said, life
• 8:09
  has been lifing and having to pull back on a couple of things, you
• 8:13
  know, kind of shut down, a couple of projects, a couple of
• 8:16
  things. It all boils down to knowing yourself, not pushing past the grain.
• 8:30
  You know, we have to take care of our natural bodies, but
• 8:33
  we also have to take care of our minds. And God gave us this
• 8:37
  body because he wants us, He wants us to take care of it.
• 8:43
  You never heard anybody say first ministry starts at home, where we're the home,
• 8:46
  because God he lives withinside of us, so we have to take care
• 8:50
  of home first. And in First Corinthians six nineteen through twenty, it talks
• 8:58
  about how that are bodies are a temple of the holy ghosts, who is
• 9:03
  within us. So it's important we're honoring God by taking care of our bodies,
• 9:11
  taking care of our minds. Sometimes we have to step away from some
• 9:15
  things. Sometimes we have to step away from some people and in order to
• 9:20
  do exactly that. And I was wondering why these past couple of months things
• 9:28
  have been really hard on me, and I just happened to look on the
• 9:31
  calendar and also notice that next week August I will be the five year anniversary
• 9:39
  of my son's death. I've been on like Charanette's show and share some things
• 9:48
  and Miss Angelas show with things. If some people don't know about me,
• 9:54
  I do have a son that was killed back in twenty twenty from gun violence.
• 10:00
  And that was rough. It was really, really really hard and going
• 10:07
  through the grieving process. You know, I'm sure anybody can attest to grieving,
• 10:13
  whether it be a child, whether it be a parent, a brother,
• 10:18
  a sister, an aunt, you know, someone like a parent.
• 10:22
  Grief is grief, and grief can be hard, and grief can also take
• 10:28
  a toll on the various different things that we do on a day to day
• 10:33
  basis. Some days, some years, I'm actually quite okay, but I
• 10:41
  have noticed that that this particular year, for some reason, it's taken a
• 10:46
  little toll somewhat. And but you know what, and that's okay. And
• 10:52
  for everyone anyone who you know who has ups and downs in the grieving process,
• 10:58
  it's okay. You're gonna have some good days, You're gonna have some
• 11:03
  bad days. You know, sometimes some years may be tougher than other years.
• 11:11
  You know, one holiday, you may be okay. The next holiday
• 11:15
  it may be, you know, a little hard. But that's okay,
• 11:18
  because we'll get through it. I will get through it. We will get
• 11:22
  through it. So next week, on August, I believe the first is
• 11:28
  next week, it will be five years that he is gone. And you
• 11:33
  know, I miss him. I miss him so much, and just understanding
• 11:39
  that even in the grieving process, sometimes when we have a lot of things
• 11:46
  on our plate, sometimes it can get a little harder, you know.
• 11:52
  So I found myself having to regroup. I've kind of been a little quiet,
• 11:58
  you know, a little a little withdrawn a little bit. But in
• 12:03
  those moments, sometimes I'm spending more time with God because in these times,
• 12:09
  especially when life is life and you have everything going on at one time,
• 12:15
  sometimes you have to put yourself in a position where you can hear God because
• 12:20
  a lot of what we go through we can't do it alone. And the
• 12:24
  Holy Spirit will talk to us and he will lead us, and he will
• 12:28
  guide us, and he will comfort us. And so sometimes and I also
• 12:33
  believe that life and death is in the power of the tongue. Sometimes silence
• 12:39
  is the best thing because I never want to use my mouth and make things
• 12:45
  harder on me. So I will be quiet so that you know how people
• 12:50
  say, hey, how you doing, and You'll be like, oh,
• 12:52
  I'm just depressed or I'm just this, I'm that, you know, No,
• 12:56
  you know, I'm just quiet and I don't want to speak on what
• 13:00
  it is. But I have to be able to hear God for myself and
• 13:05
  God will also he will instruct me. Okay, you know if I'm not
• 13:09
  thinking clearly one day, Okay, you need to do this. You have
• 13:11
  these things you have to do today, you know, Okay, don't wear
• 13:18
  that, wear this, you know. Or sometimes when you're in a different
• 13:26
  type of a state of mind, sometimes people can say things and it'll you'll
• 13:33
  think it's a misunderstanding, and it's not a misunderstanding. You know how your
• 13:37
  mind will play tricks on you. And sometimes God will say, no,
• 13:39
  no, that's not that. It's this. But that's because I have to
• 13:46
  carry a close relationship with God and sometimes just get quiet and hear Him speak
• 13:52
  to me. So you know, it is good at times if sometimes if
• 13:58
  we have to draw back, sometimes we have to you know, we'll have
• 14:03
  all these things on our plate, and you know, they said it's good
• 14:07
  to stay stay busy sometimes, but it's also good to know yourself when you
• 14:11
  know, Okay, right at this moment, I have too many things on
• 14:16
  my shoulders and I need to kind of cut back. I kind of have
• 14:20
  to be quiet. So just encouraging, you know, don't want to use
• 14:28
  the platform as a rant, but I know there's so many other people who
• 14:33
  experience, you know, some of the same things that I do. And
• 14:39
  what better way to help but to be transparent and and share, you know.
• 14:50
  So, like I said, five years next week without my baby,
• 14:56
  and but he is with the Lord. You know, I do have to
• 15:01
  you know, I am joyful. I'm glad that I know where my son
• 15:07
  is on here and on earth. It's hard, but he is where he
• 15:15
  is supposed to be, with his father God. God loaned them to me,
• 15:18
  and so he's with him. And so if I could just you know,
• 15:22
  just encourage anyone, Like I said, once again, if you are
• 15:28
  going through the grieving process, just understand that no matter where you are in
• 15:33
  your journey of grieving, God has you. God has me, and God
• 15:41
  has you. You just have to trust him. And I believe God through
• 15:46
  and throughout because it's nothing but the grace of God that could have carried me
• 15:50
  this long. And I also have to be grateful. When my son was
• 15:58
  killed. He went to a party in Las Vegas and he was he was
• 16:03
  in college. He was going to an HBCU. You know, he was
• 16:06
  hon a roll student, had one more semester to graduate. Uh and he
• 16:12
  had to come home because of COVID, and him and my middle son decided
• 16:18
  to go to a party in Vegas in the middle of COVID, and someone
• 16:25
  shot up the house and he was the only one killed. Even in the
• 16:30
  stages of grief and sorrow, I still had to find a kind of like
• 16:41
  a light at the end of the tunnel. I still had to be grateful
• 16:45
  because I had two sons at that party. One son was right behind the
• 16:51
  other son. One son just barely missed the bullet when the other son was
• 16:56
  shot. So I could have on this day, I could have been saying
• 17:03
  I lost two children, but instead, you know, unfortunately one past.
• 17:11
  But I could have been I could have been celebrating a double funeral. So
• 17:15
  I still, even in my grief and in my sorrow, I still have
• 17:19
  to give God some praise and some glory because I do I did have a
• 17:23
  son that was fair. And so that's just a little bit about my journey
• 17:30
  with grief. And to just encourage anyone if you are if you are experiencing
• 17:37
  grief even if life has been hard on you period. If life has been
• 17:44
  hard on you period, just know just to keep your head up, continue
• 17:48
  to talk to God. I have to talk to God sometimes all day every
• 17:52
  day to keep this mind in check because life can get hard. Just know
• 17:59
  that he he has not abandoned you. He has not left you. He's
• 18:03
  right there with you. If you're still standing here today and you're able to
• 18:07
  tell your story, God is with you. The fact that you're able to
• 18:14
  tell your story, and me understanding that sometimes that things don't happen to us
• 18:19
  just to put us through something. I understand that there was a purpose behind
• 18:25
  my pain so that I can share my story with somebody else who's going through
• 18:30
  the same thing and be able to pull them out. So sometimes it's not
• 18:37
  just about us, it's about also helping your brother, helping your sister,
• 18:45
  helping a child along the way who has gone through some of the same experiences
• 18:49
  that you have gone through. So you may not have experience extreme grief.
• 18:56
  You know, some people have been molested, some people have been braaked,
• 19:02
  some people have you know, been used, some people have been abused.
• 19:07
  Some of us go through bad divorces. You know, there's a line of
• 19:11
  things that we grow through as human beings. But just know that you're suffering
• 19:18
  is not in vain. There's somebody else who's experienced something of the sort that
• 19:26
  you have and you can help pull that person out. For me, it
• 19:32
  brings gratification to know that, yes, my son passed, but his death
• 19:38
  was not in vain. I try to use that and help somebody else along
• 19:44
  the way, and it does. It helps just even me getting on here,
• 19:48
  just talking to you has extremely helped me today. So like I said,
• 19:56
  just keep your head up. God loves you, God cares for you.
• 20:02
  He will keep you in perfect peace. And so I won't drag that
• 20:10
  out too long, but I just did want to encourage somebody else and if
• 20:18
  you are going through grief, and I shared this on Chanette's show, let's
• 20:25
  talk about it. You know, I start breaking things down a little bit
• 20:32
  smaller. I call it the five and five rule. You know, so
• 20:37
  when you're having a bad day, take a few things and say, okay,
• 20:41
  this is what I can this is what I can do, and these
• 20:45
  are a few things another five things that maybe today I just can't tackle that
• 20:51
  today. That's fine. But as long as you can do something on this
• 20:57
  list, you're moving forward, you're progressing, you're doing something. You're not
• 21:03
  just sitting there and letting life beat you over the head. Small steps are
• 21:11
  good steps. Just get up, do something and be productive, and keep
• 21:19
  pushing. Don't let life fly by, keep moving, keep moving, keep
• 21:30
  pushing. Choose to live and so within the purpose and the pain I did,
• 21:37
  I wrote a book called I Choose to Live, Pushing through the Grieving
• 21:42
  process. If any of you would like to pick it up. It is
• 21:47
  my journey about what I went through with my son, the things that I've
• 21:53
  had to do to, you know, get me to this far, this
• 21:57
  far. But like I said that it's a forever journey, and so forever
• 22:02
  journey. We just learn a few things along the way to keep us pushing.
• 22:07
  And so I just wanted to get on here and encourage someone today who's
• 22:12
  going through challenges in life. Like I said, not necessarily grieving anything.
• 22:18
  Just keep moving, hold on, do not give up, hold on to
• 22:25
  God's unchanging hand and he will definitely see you through. So next, I
• 22:36
  wanted to tell you guys about a project that God has been placed, that
• 22:44
  has placed on my heart it's really been this thing. So like the more
• 22:51
  lately I've been saying whining to God about my sorrows, my this, my
• 22:56
  this, and this is like the more I whine, the more He pushes
• 23:00
  me to get this book out. So next month I will be releasing a
• 23:03
  book called After the Anointing Lives, Who Are You? Gifts and callings come
• 23:15
  without repentance, And once those of us who are even in ministry and leadership
• 23:26
  things of that particular nature. Once we you know, when we're operating in
• 23:32
  our gift, you look beautiful, but once you're no longer operating out of
• 23:37
  your gift and you're just your every day to day person, who are you?
• 23:42
  Who are you? And so God has given me that mandate to get
• 23:48
  that out and believe it or not, writing this book is actually helping me.
• 23:52
  There's some things. As long as we live, as long as we
• 23:56
  breathe, it's another day to look within our selves and do some self reflection
• 24:03
  so that we could be the best of who God called us to be.
• 24:10
  And that's what it's all about. You know, when that time comes and
• 24:15
  God calls us, if we're called home before he comes back, you know
• 24:19
  he's coming back. For a church without splot, without spot or blemishes,
• 24:29
  and we are the church. So it's time to get this thing right,
• 24:36
  you know. And so that's what this this book is about, is just
• 24:41
  looking within ourselves. There's some self reflections and various things, words of encouragement.
• 24:48
  It's not a book of condemnation, but it is a book that where
• 24:52
  we can look within ourselves us, especially if you're in ministry, if you
• 24:56
  are in leadership, what are just some things that we can do to better
• 25:02
  ourselves in our walk on a day to day basis, because we are the
• 25:07
  example. If you walk around saying that you're a Christian, you are the
• 25:11
  example that the world sees. And you know, if you're saying I'm a
• 25:15
  Christian and I love God and we're cursing with the same mouth, you can't
• 25:19
  bless and curse God with the same mouth. So you know, who are
• 25:26
  we? What is our character? What is our integrity? Are we running
• 25:30
  people to God? Or are we running people away from God? You know?
• 25:37
  So that's what this book is about. And so it's called once again,
• 25:44
  when the anointing lives are after the anointing lives, who are you?
• 25:49
  And so, like I said, it's the messager. The message goes to
• 25:53
  the messenger first. So it's really been good I've been writing the book,
• 25:57
  but it's also been causing me to look at some things within myself. What
• 26:03
  is my integrity? How am I treating people and my loving people? You
• 26:10
  know? Am I putting my mouth on people that you know you shouldn't be
• 26:17
  talking about? You know? Okay, yes they have a title, Yes
• 26:19
  they messed up, But who am I to put my mouth on there?
• 26:25
  Because we all have a day where we have a challenge or we have a
• 26:27
  struggle that we have to get over. We have to put our flesh under
• 26:33
  subjection daily all day. Every day. Somebody can step on your toe and
• 26:37
  you want to cus them out in the next minute. So we have to
• 26:44
  look within ourselves at all time, dive to our flesh that they and make
• 26:48
  sure that we are not an accuser of the brethren. You know, we
• 26:53
  all fall short. And so this is about a book about you know,
• 27:00
  you know iron Sharpin's iron. Help your brother out. If you see your
• 27:03
  brother overtaking the fault either who which is spiritual restore such a one? Pray
• 27:08
  for them right now. We all need prayer. We're all going through so
• 27:14
  many things. There's so many of us that in this particular day and age
• 27:18
  who just want to just drop the mic and walk off life as hard as
• 27:23
  it is. But if you are trying to live a godly life, that's
• 27:29
  a whole nother beast in itself. It's not an easy walk to walk upright
• 27:37
  and godly because people are constantly watching. And then the same people who admire
• 27:45
  you, or the same people who turn around and curse you the next minute.
• 27:49
  You know, you know, they'll say, you know, oh we
• 27:53
  love you, we love you. Oh you're so knowledgeable, you so this,
• 27:56
  But oh my God, dub your toe and say a curse word.
• 28:02
  Now you are the daughter of the devil, you know. So it's just
• 28:07
  about keeping ourselves in alignment with God's word, with his will for our life,
• 28:19
  and just understanding that we are the light. We are the light that
• 28:26
  people see. And I'd rather be in the will than in the way.
• 28:34
  When when I get to those pearly gates, when I stand before God,
• 28:40
  I want to hear job well done. I don't want to have to see
• 28:44
  an a whole account of the souls that walked away because they looked at my
• 28:52
  life and said, I don't want to have anything to do with the God
• 28:56
  that you serve, because look at you. Because at the end of the
• 29:00
  day, it's all about what we do. What are we doing with this
• 29:07
  life? What are we doing with the gifts that God gave us? So
• 29:12
  and that's just a little bit of encouragement. I just want to encourage my
• 29:17
  brother and my sister because this walk can get hard. Living a holy life
• 29:23
  unto God is not an easy walk. But if I can give something of
• 29:29
  some encouragement, some enlightenment, that we can all dig within ourselves and encourage
• 29:37
  us to be the best that we can be in God, so that when
• 29:41
  our time comes, we can stand before the King and hear him say well
• 29:48
  done, my good and faithful servant. Okay, And I love everyone,
• 29:56
  and continue to pray for me as I will continue you to pray for you.
• 30:02
