- 3:48Speaker 1: foot in front of the next. That person is putting
- 3:51Speaker 1: forth some efforts out there. And that's the only way
- 3:54Speaker 1: God can bless you. God can only bless you with
- 3:56Speaker 1: your efforts. He can only put his finger on the
- 4:00Speaker 1: thing that you are doing or attempting.
- 4:04Speaker 2: That's all he can help you with.
- 4:06Speaker 1: He there are no jobs walking up to your door,
- 4:09Speaker 1: knocking on your door. But if you beating the pavement,
- 4:11Speaker 1: if you sending in the apps, if you online scouring
- 4:14Speaker 1: somewhere to work, somewhere to get a job, then God
- 4:17Speaker 1: can touch somebody's heart to hire you. But if you
- 4:19Speaker 1: sitting at the house every day, smoke every day, drinking,
- 4:23Speaker 1: but you wonder why you just can't get a job.
- 4:26Speaker 1: The couple times you the one out there, got to
- 4:28Speaker 1: if you ain't got a job, you got to look
- 4:30Speaker 1: go get one every day. You got to go look
- 4:32Speaker 1: for one every single day. You can't take no days off.
- 4:35Speaker 1: How about today? How about today? If we decide today
- 4:39Speaker 1: is the day that we're gonna make the move. Today
- 4:42Speaker 1: is the day that we stop delaying, hesitating, procrastinating. Today
- 4:46Speaker 1: is the day that we take a step in the
- 4:47Speaker 1: direction to do something for ourselves, for our lives, for
- 4:50Speaker 1: our family, for our wives, for our children, for our community,
- 4:54Speaker 1: for our school. Do something today, for crying out loud, man,
- 4:59Speaker 1: stop in your own life, in just a stew of
- 5:03Speaker 1: misery in.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Your own life. I'm gonna tell you something.
- 5:07Speaker 1: If you are in a state of confusion, if you
- 5:09Speaker 1: are troubling, if you're stuck on what to do next,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you let me tell you what's happening.
- 5:14Speaker 2: You're not doing enough. That's what it is. Man.
- 5:17Speaker 1: See when I get in a place man where I
- 5:21Speaker 1: don't know what the next move is, it's because i'd
- 5:24Speaker 1: unusually stalled out.
- 5:26Speaker 2: See this is the way God works. This is the
- 5:28Speaker 2: way He's worked for me.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Every time I'm busy and I'm about the business of
- 5:33Speaker 1: always trying to live my creed, which is ABC.
- 5:37Speaker 2: My model is ABC. Always be closing.

- 5:48Speaker 1: doing with yourself and becoming the best you you can be,
- 5:52Speaker 1: God is always working on your behalf, behind some scene
- 5:57Speaker 1: of something that you're in the process of temper to close.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But because you're not doing all you can do, you're
- 6:05Speaker 1: limiting you. You are because of your decision not to
- 6:08Speaker 1: give you all and all, you're limiting the opportunities for
- 6:12Speaker 1: God to put his finger on things in touch them
- 6:14Speaker 1: on your behalf. I don't know if the average person
- 6:19Speaker 1: really understands or knows what it takes to truly be
- 6:23Speaker 1: successful on whatever level you're talking about.
- 6:27Speaker 2: But whatever that.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Level is, I don't care what a dollar amount you've
- 6:30Speaker 1: got attached to it, what level you got if you
- 6:32Speaker 1: have made the decision that you're going to be successful,
- 6:35Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people, the average person
- 6:38Speaker 1: does not know what that means. Whatever level you've decided
- 6:42Speaker 1: to be successful on See, that's your level of faith,
- 6:45Speaker 1: that's where you see your life at. Well, guess what
- 6:49Speaker 1: you got to maximize your efforts to even get to
- 6:52Speaker 1: that level.
