0:58
Speaker 1: Created for purpose. But go ahead and dive in. But
1:02
Speaker 1: before I dive in, y'all know, I like to start
1:04
Speaker 1: off with prayer, like to start off with prays. So
1:06
Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead and lead off with prayer on
1:09
Speaker 1: this morning. So Father God in it ain't much esus. Lord,
1:11
Speaker 1: I thank you for yet another day, another day that
1:14
Speaker 1: was not promised us or a God. But Father, you saw
1:16
Speaker 1: fit enough to allow us to walk into this new day.
1:19
Speaker 1: You extended your grace and mercy, giving us yet another opportunity,
1:23
Speaker 1: another opportunity to get it right. So, Father, I asked
1:26
Speaker 1: that you will remove me out of the way, remove
1:28
Speaker 1: my flesh out of the way, and allow my spirit
1:30
Speaker 1: man within to come forth, Lord God, and allow your
1:33
Speaker 1: world to come forth with God. And may it fall
1:36
Speaker 1: on good ground, May it fall on good ears, that
1:39
Speaker 1: it may vibrate and do what you have called and
1:42
Speaker 1: purposed it to do, that we may align with it,
1:44
Speaker 1: Lord God, and we may walk into our destiny that
1:47
Speaker 1: that you have already mapped out for us according to
1:50
Speaker 1: Jeremiah twenty nine. Lord, we know your word is true.
1:54
Speaker 1: We know that your word will not return to you, Lord,
1:56
Speaker 1: and we know that you will watch over it and
1:58
Speaker 1: to its perform and effected in each one of our lives.
2:01
Speaker 1: What God, So, Father God, we asked that you would
2:03
Speaker 1: just remove me out of the way on this morning,
2:05
Speaker 1: Lord God. Father asked that you would search me on
2:08
Speaker 1: this morning and if there's anything that is not like you,
2:10
Speaker 1: a contrary to your word. Father, I asked that you
2:13
Speaker 1: will remove it right now. In the name of Jesus
2:15
Speaker 1: or God, show me me that I may not walk
2:17
Speaker 1: in error or lead anyone in error. Lord God, wash
2:20
Speaker 1: me in your blood clans me, Lord God, renewing me
2:22
Speaker 1: a right spirit or right mind and a right heart
2:25
Speaker 1: that I may do and share what you have placed
2:29
Speaker 1: on the inside of me, Lord God. And this is
2:31
Speaker 1: my prayer on this morning in Jesus name, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,
2:36
Speaker 1: I thank God for yet another opportunity that I can
2:40
Speaker 1: come before Him and that I can share that He
2:43
Speaker 1: has placed in me, that He has allowed me to
2:46
Speaker 1: be able to share. And again, today's scripture is going
2:49
Speaker 1: to be Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. Before I jump
2:52
Speaker 1: into the scripture, I'm going to do a little backstory
2:55
Speaker 1: on that scripture and do a little backstory on that scripture. Well,
3:00
Speaker 1: the scripture first, because the lesson it is called created
3:04
Speaker 1: for a purpose, for I know the plans that I
3:07
Speaker 1: have for you, declares the Lord plans to prosper you
3:10
Speaker 1: and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
3:13
Speaker 1: in a future. And that comes out of the new
3:17
Speaker 1: International version our affirmation for today is I am created
3:22
Speaker 1: for a purpose only I can fulfil. I am created
3:26
Speaker 1: for a purpose only I can fulfil. So as we know,
3:32
Speaker 1: the words in Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven were spoken
3:35
Speaker 1: by God to the Israelites when there were when they
3:39
Speaker 1: were in exile and Babylon. They were far from the home,
3:43
Speaker 1: and they were far from home and hope, living in
3:47
Speaker 1: a difficult time, likely wondering if God had forgotten them.
3:52
Speaker 1: God sent a message through the prophet Jeremiah to remind
3:55
Speaker 1: them that He had not abandoned them. Indeed, He still
3:59
Speaker 1: had goods and a unique destiny for them even in
4:03
Speaker 1: the midst of circumstances. Just as God has a pacific
4:08
Speaker 1: purpose for the Israelite, he has a unique purpose for you.
4:13
Speaker 1: No matter what your circumstance look like. God promise remains
4:16
Speaker 1: the same. You are designed for something significant that only
4:21
Speaker 1: you can accomplish. And you have to know that, and
4:24
Speaker 1: you have to understand that that God has called you
4:27
Speaker 1: to that, and He's gonna watch over it and towards
4:29
Speaker 1: perform and perfected in your life. Y'all. God's plan and
4:34
Speaker 1: purpose is intention. God says, I know the plans that
4:38
Speaker 1: I have for you. His plans are pacifically designed for
4:42
Speaker 1: each person. He never gives us a one size for
4:47
Speaker 1: doll plan. You are not an accident or an afterthought.
4:51
Speaker 1: You are intentionally created. The scripture says that in Jeremiah
4:55
Speaker 1: twenty nine and eleven, he said, he said, for I
4:57
Speaker 1: know the plans for you, you, you, and you. He
5:01
Speaker 1: didn't say you got the same plans. You got the
5:03
Speaker 1: same plans. All the plants are the same. He said,
5:06
Speaker 1: I know the plans for you. So he pacifically speak,
5:10
Speaker 1: individually speak. And if we go down the Psalms one
5:13
Speaker 1: thirty nine, thirteen and fourteen, he say, for the for
5:16
Speaker 1: you created mine, For you created my innermost being. You
5:21
Speaker 1: knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you
5:24
Speaker 1: because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. You're fearfully and
5:29
Speaker 1: wonderfully made. You made in his image. You're made pacifically.
5:35
Speaker 1: You were designed. If you go on to Ephesians two
5:38
Speaker 1: and ten, it says, for we are God's masterpiece. He
5:42
Speaker 1: has created a new a in Christ. So we just
5:47
Speaker 1: do a good thing. He planned for a long ago. Y'all,
5:53
Speaker 1: you were planning for when God spoke and Jeremiah twenty
5:58
Speaker 1: nine and eleven to the isa is You're life. They
6:00
Speaker 1: were doing a time of tough, season of exile. This
6:06
Speaker 1: teaches us that the purpose does not disappear during hard times.
6:11
Speaker 1: But god plans are working even in our waiting, even
6:15
Speaker 1: in our confusion, even in our suffering. Jeremiah plans, it says,
6:23
Speaker 1: the plans to prosper you, not to harm you. And
6:27
Speaker 1: if you go down to Romans eight and twenty eight,
6:31
Speaker 1: it says, and we know that in all things God
6:36
Speaker 1: works for the good of those who love him, who
6:40
Speaker 1: have been called according to his purpose. He called you
6:44
Speaker 1: for his purpose. It's not an accident. Gone down to
6:48
Speaker 1: James one twelve. Blessed is the one who persevere under trials,
6:53
Speaker 1: because having stood the test, that person will receive the
6:59
Speaker 1: crown of life. The Lord has promised to those who
7:02
Speaker 1: love him. So when times get rough, don't give up,
7:06
Speaker 1: keep going, keep pressing, because he said that if you
7:09
Speaker 1: persevere under trials, stood the test of time, you gotta stand.
7:15
Speaker 1: You gotta believe, you gotta trust, you gotta know, and
7:20
Speaker 1: then you gotta put your hope in God's promise, in
7:23
Speaker 1: God's word, knowing that good morning, that knowing that God's
7:27
Speaker 1: word is not going to return to him Lord, that
7:29
Speaker 1: he's gonna watch over it into us perform. He said,
7:34
Speaker 1: God's plans are to give you hope in the future.
7:37
Speaker 1: Our purpose is anchored in God's goodness and in his faithfulness,
7:43
Speaker 1: not in circumstances that come up and things that happen
7:47
Speaker 1: around us. We gotta know that, he said, He has
7:51
Speaker 1: given us plans to give us hope in the future.
7:55
Speaker 1: So regardless of what it looks like now, he know
7:58
Speaker 1: told you that you can hope that there's gonna be
8:01
Speaker 1: a future, because there's gonna be a future, so that
8:04
Speaker 1: you can hope in that. So know that his word
8:06
Speaker 1: is not gonna return to him void. So understand that
8:09
Speaker 1: Hebrews ten twenty three it said, let us unswervely to hope.
8:17
Speaker 1: We profess, for we have who promised is faithful. Y'all.
8:24
Speaker 1: He tells us over and over his word. His word
8:26
Speaker 1: is not returning to him. Lord. His word is true
8:30
Speaker 1: because in Lamentations three twenty two and twenty three it said,
8:33
Speaker 1: because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed,
8:37
Speaker 1: for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.
8:43
Speaker 1: Great great is he that is in us than is
8:50
Speaker 1: he that is in the world. How can we apply
8:56
Speaker 1: this to us so that it can work in our life.
9:01
Speaker 1: So first we gotta, like always, I'm always gonna tell
9:05
Speaker 1: you that you gotta spend that time with him. You
9:08
Speaker 1: gotta see God daily, you gotta pray, you gotta read scripture.
9:12
Speaker 1: So if you need prayer y'all can join us for
9:15
Speaker 1: five am prayer every morning every morning. Allow him to
9:18
Speaker 1: be the first fruits of the day. Allow him to
9:21
Speaker 1: start your day. And if you if you're working night shift,
9:25
Speaker 1: like your network nightshift, that that let him be your
9:28
Speaker 1: your clothes of your night in the start of your morning.
9:31
Speaker 1: So when you get up in the afternoon, when you
9:33
Speaker 1: get up that evening and when most people are getting
9:35
Speaker 1: ready to go to bed and they read again, So
9:37
Speaker 1: we should that should be our morning and that should
9:40
Speaker 1: be our night. So we should be spending not only
9:42
Speaker 1: are we spending time throughout the day thanking him for prayer,
9:45
Speaker 1: but we're spending special time with him in the morning
9:48
Speaker 1: when we wake up, letting him know that, hey, we
9:51
Speaker 1: need you today, letting him know that, hey, we can't
9:54
Speaker 1: get through this day without you. And then when we
9:57
Speaker 1: lay down at night or in the morning, for those
10:00
Speaker 1: that work at night, when we lay down to get
10:04
Speaker 1: our rest for that night, for that morning, we need
10:07
Speaker 1: to acknowledge him again. Let him know that we thank
10:10
Speaker 1: him for allowing us to walk through this day, for
10:13
Speaker 1: getting through this day, and that we need him to
10:16
Speaker 1: cover us as we rest and as he fill us up.
10:20
Speaker 1: Ask him to fill us up, Ask him to do
10:22
Speaker 1: a new thing in him, Ask him to put those
10:24
Speaker 1: things in us that we are backing. Y'all, we have
10:27
Speaker 1: that right to ask these things. But if we don't
10:30
Speaker 1: spend time with him, we don't read his scripture, if
10:33
Speaker 1: we don't know these things, then we can't put these
10:35
Speaker 1: We can't pour these things into our life. We can't
10:37
Speaker 1: speak these things into our life because we don't have them.
10:40
Speaker 1: But you got to make it a happen. You got
10:42
Speaker 1: to make it a habit to ask God to guide
10:44
Speaker 1: you each day. You gotta pray pacifically for wisdom to
10:49
Speaker 1: understand the unique purpose that He's given you. And then
10:52
Speaker 1: you have to read verses to remind you of who
10:55
Speaker 1: you are. In Rice. It's okay, and it's okay to
10:58
Speaker 1: give him a scripture back. It's okay to read the
11:01
Speaker 1: scripture back to him. It's okay to tell him in scripture. See,
11:03
Speaker 1: when you get stuff down in you, when you get
11:05
Speaker 1: that down in you, then you're able to speak it out.
11:08
Speaker 1: You're not only able to speak it over your life,
11:10
Speaker 1: You're able to speak it to others. You're able to
11:11
Speaker 1: pour into others. You're able to give. James Wonder five
11:15
Speaker 1: is say, if any of you lack wisdom, you should ask.
11:18
Speaker 1: And God, who is gives gracially to all without finding fault,
11:24
Speaker 1: and he will be. He will do that, and it
11:27
Speaker 1: will be given unto you. In Psalms one nineteen one
11:31
Speaker 1: O five, your word is a lamp for my feet,
11:35
Speaker 1: a light unto my path. Proverbs three five and six
11:39
Speaker 1: it said trust in the Lord with all your heart,
11:41
Speaker 1: and lean not on your own understanding, but in all
11:44
Speaker 1: your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your path right.
11:49
Speaker 1: He will make your path straight. Yeah. Look, these are
11:55
Speaker 1: scriptures that he's given us, the Bible that he's given us,
11:58
Speaker 1: examples that he's given us that others have lived by,
12:01
Speaker 1: that others have shown us. Y'all, everybody in this Bible
12:07
Speaker 1: that they had examples of how God did something good
12:11
Speaker 1: for them. You know how it was to bring him glory,
12:14
Speaker 1: but for all good and just as he did it
12:17
Speaker 1: for them, y'all. He's the same God. He's the same
12:19
Speaker 1: God yesterday, today, and he'll be the same guard tomorrow.
12:24
Speaker 1: He is never changing. Even though we change and this
12:26
Speaker 1: world evolving, this world change, he never changed. So we
12:30
Speaker 1: got to learn to go to him. We got to
12:32
Speaker 1: learn to acknowledge, and we got to learn to recognize him, y'all,
12:36
Speaker 1: because guess what he wants to help us. How can
12:41
Speaker 1: you apply this again? Get you a journal. If you
12:45
Speaker 1: have not purchased your copy of the book, grab your
12:48
Speaker 1: copy of the book. Inside this book, there's a space
12:51
Speaker 1: to journal. Look, you got space to journal. You got
12:54
Speaker 1: space to jop down these things that we're talking about.
12:57
Speaker 1: We got space for you to write how you feel,
13:00
Speaker 1: your thoughts, your emotions. Because there has to be a
13:03
Speaker 1: time where we reflect. There has to be a time
13:06
Speaker 1: when we talk about those things that are bothering us. Now,
13:11
Speaker 1: we have to also reflect on those talents that He's
13:14
Speaker 1: given us, y'all. Our passions, our experiences, y'all, we can
13:18
Speaker 1: write it down and what makes us unique, what makes
13:22
Speaker 1: us different from the next person, what makes us different
13:24
Speaker 1: from our sister, what make us different from our brother,
13:27
Speaker 1: our parents. What things that we look for to use
13:33
Speaker 1: our gifts to serve others? Y'all? How are we looking
13:37
Speaker 1: for ways to serve others outside our home, outside our school,
13:43
Speaker 1: outside our work, and within our community? What are you
13:47
Speaker 1: doing to make a difference? How are you being that
13:50
Speaker 1: change that you desired to see in this world? Y'all?
13:53
Speaker 1: How are you allowing those gifts to come further? Because
13:56
Speaker 1: He's given us all gifts, He's given us all things
13:58
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to be doing. But every day we
14:01
Speaker 1: get up and we do the same routine. Some of
14:03
Speaker 1: us have made these social media sites I'll go to
14:06
Speaker 1: all in all when they are things that we're supposed
14:09
Speaker 1: to be doing. And then even utilizing the social media,
14:12
Speaker 1: we don't even U like the social media, You're right,
14:14
Speaker 1: because we use it for so much other than what
14:17
Speaker 1: you know he's called and purpose us to do, to
14:19
Speaker 1: utilize our gifts and talents. And then some of us
14:22
Speaker 1: think our gifts and talents are other things that we
14:23
Speaker 1: do so much more with these things that he's given
14:26
Speaker 1: us instead of doing what he's called us to do. First,
14:29
Speaker 1: Peter four in ten said, each of you should use
14:32
Speaker 1: whatever gift you have received to serve others. Let me
14:37
Speaker 1: say that one more time. Each of you should use
14:40
Speaker 1: whatever gift you have received to serve others as a
14:45
Speaker 1: faithful steward of God's grace in its various form. Each
14:50
Speaker 1: of you should use whatever gift you have received to
14:53
Speaker 1: serve others as a faithful steward of God's grace and
14:57
Speaker 1: various forms. A lot of us don't even want to serve.
15:00
Speaker 1: A lot of us don't even want to humble ourselves.
15:02
Speaker 1: A lot of us don't even want to use our
15:04
Speaker 1: gifts and talents and know that we have gifts and
15:06
Speaker 1: talents that could reach and touch other people, that can
15:08
Speaker 1: help bring people out of what they are going through.
15:11
Speaker 1: But yet we sit down on the things that God
15:13
Speaker 1: has something for us. Some of us make excuses, excuses
15:17
Speaker 1: for other company. I don't know what excuses are, because, yeah,
15:20
Speaker 1: I get up. I press even when I'm aching in
15:23
Speaker 1: in my body, even when i'm when I when I
15:26
Speaker 1: when i'm when I don't know, when I'm riddled with pain,
15:28
Speaker 1: when when everything could be going wrong, when everything is
15:32
Speaker 1: going wrong, Yet I press because I know it's bigger
15:34
Speaker 1: than me. I know that it is not me that
15:37
Speaker 1: allows me to do these things. I know it was
15:39
Speaker 1: not me that woke me up this morning. So I
15:41
Speaker 1: know that because that I woke up this morning, that
15:43
Speaker 1: grace and mercy was extended to me, that there's something
15:46
Speaker 1: greater than me that that I'm supposed to be doing.
15:48
Speaker 1: So guess what I gotta get up today and I
15:50
Speaker 1: got to see what that greater thing is because guess what,
15:53
Speaker 1: I didn't breathe that breath into me. It was him
15:57
Speaker 1: that saw something in me that allowed me to see
15:59
Speaker 1: this new day. And if you're listening to this, if
16:01
Speaker 1: you're catching it as a replay, or however you're catching it,
16:04
Speaker 1: whether you're jumping on and off and don't want to
16:06
Speaker 1: hear the truth, it is the same and you're gonna
16:08
Speaker 1: get it wherever you go because his word is not
16:10
Speaker 1: gonna return to him, boar. But one thing he ain't
16:13
Speaker 1: gonna do is he ain't gonna chase you down. But
16:15
Speaker 1: he'll allow you to run into some stuff that will
16:18
Speaker 1: bring you back. And that's what we that's what a
16:21
Speaker 1: lot of us do instead of just walking into Yeah,
16:25
Speaker 1: I ran for a long time and probably still running
16:28
Speaker 1: from some things that I know that he want me
16:29
Speaker 1: to do. That I just just don't feel that he's
16:32
Speaker 1: talking to me that it's for somebody else, but yet
16:35
Speaker 1: it's for me, And yet I'm still running. Yeah, I
16:37
Speaker 1: believe that too, But yet he gonna catch me. It's
16:40
Speaker 1: not that he's gonna catch me, but he's gonna allow
16:42
Speaker 1: me to catch back up with what he has purpose
16:45
Speaker 1: for me. Because if we're running around and doing what
16:47
Speaker 1: we want to do, guess what, We're running around in circles.
16:50
Speaker 1: And until until we do what we're called to do,
16:54
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep running in circles and we're gonna keep
16:56
Speaker 1: things will keep going, keep happening. So when you're ready
17:00
Speaker 1: to step out of that and ready to walk into that, yeah,
17:02
Speaker 1: that's for me too. Don't think I'm telling y'all that
17:05
Speaker 1: just for y'all. I'm telling it to myself today because
17:07
Speaker 1: I need to hear that too. We gotta stop running
17:10
Speaker 1: this circles. We gotta stop. We gotta start walking into
17:13
Speaker 1: that that he's called us too, so that we can
17:15
Speaker 1: walk in truth, righteousness and the truth of his word
17:19
Speaker 1: and all those things that he's promised us, y'all. Because
17:21
Speaker 1: he's promised us great things, he said we should do
17:24
Speaker 1: greater works. Greater works, Greater works Roma's twelve and six.
17:30
Speaker 1: They say, we have different gifts according to grace that
17:33
Speaker 1: is given to each of us. So don't be out
17:36
Speaker 1: here trying to be like Salage. Don't be out here
17:38
Speaker 1: trying to be like Shanette. Don't be out here trying
17:40
Speaker 1: to be like Chreada. Don't be out here trying to
17:41
Speaker 1: be like or Talian. Don't be out here trying to
17:43
Speaker 1: be like Black Diamond or Patrice or either Shining or
17:47
Speaker 1: either Alma. You gotta be out here and be yourself
17:50
Speaker 1: because guess what He gave us all different gifts according
17:55
Speaker 1: to the grace that was given each of us. We're
17:58
Speaker 1: all given different grace, just like He extend different mercy
18:01
Speaker 1: to us each day. In Colossians three twenty three, he said,
18:05
Speaker 1: whatever you do, work at it with all your heart
18:10
Speaker 1: as work. You're working for the Lord, not for human masters. Y'all,
18:15
Speaker 1: we got to stop working unto these jobs and unto
18:17
Speaker 1: these things as if we're working unto humans, because it
18:20
Speaker 1: tells us clearly in the world. It clearly in the
18:24
Speaker 1: world that we're whatever we do, that we're supposed to
18:29
Speaker 1: work at it with our hearts. A lot of us
18:33
Speaker 1: we do not work with God's intentions design. We don't
18:39
Speaker 1: work with what he has called us to do. We're
18:43
Speaker 1: not working by faith. We're not working with the gifts
18:46
Speaker 1: that he's called We're working trying to compete with other
18:49
Speaker 1: people that we've seen do stuff when he's called us
18:52
Speaker 1: to that. Whether you have a speech a speech inspediment,
18:57
Speaker 1: and sometime you can see I have one. But if
19:00
Speaker 1: whether you have a speech impediment, whether you whether you
19:05
Speaker 1: could speak like a scholar, whether you got a doctor's
19:08
Speaker 1: degree or you got an associate degree, does not matter,
19:12
Speaker 1: he said in his word, he said, whatever you do,
19:17
Speaker 1: work at it with all your heart. See, you're working
19:21
Speaker 1: from your heart anyway. You're not working from a place
19:23
Speaker 1: of gifts and talents. You're working from your heart to
19:26
Speaker 1: use those gifts and talents. Now, we got to get
19:29
Speaker 1: it right as working for the Lord and not for
19:33
Speaker 1: human masters, y'all. He's telling us whatever we do, don't
19:37
Speaker 1: work as we as we were working unto man, because
19:39
Speaker 1: it's not about man, but it's about Him that called us.
19:43
Speaker 1: And in our things, we got to make sure that
19:45
Speaker 1: we are encouraging others and not just ourselves. Because this
19:49
Speaker 1: thing that this thing called life that we're on. This
19:52
Speaker 1: journey is bigger than us. It's about more than us.
19:55
Speaker 1: It's about It's not about just what we can do
20:01
Speaker 1: for ourselves and what God can do for it, but
20:05
Speaker 1: about what He can allow us to do and impact life.
20:10
Speaker 1: So as purpose, as you pursue your purpose, look for
20:18
Speaker 1: ways to encourage others, y'all. Share words of faith in scripture.
20:24
Speaker 1: Does not hurt you to share scripture with somebody, It
20:28
Speaker 1: does not. It does not hurt you to share what
20:34
Speaker 1: you have learned words of faith, y'all, because there may
20:39
Speaker 1: be someone that's feeling discouraged, someone that's feeling lost, someone
20:43
Speaker 1: that needs to be reminded. That someone that needs to
20:50
Speaker 1: be reminded that you know, life happens, and that God's
20:57
Speaker 1: plan is still gonna happen in life, no matter what
21:01
Speaker 1: it looked like. So if we go over to Hebrews
21:04
Speaker 1: three and thirteen and say, be encouraged one another daily
21:08
Speaker 1: as long as it's called today, so that none of
21:11
Speaker 1: you may be hindered by sins of deceitfulness. We can't
21:15
Speaker 1: worry about what happened yesterday, and we can't worry about tomorrow.
21:19
Speaker 1: We have to stay focused on today be encouraged one
21:24
Speaker 1: for another on today, and first that's a long and
21:27
Speaker 1: five and eleven say, therefore, encourage one another, build each
21:30
Speaker 1: other up just as fact you are doing. Therefore, encourage
21:36
Speaker 1: one another and build each other up, just as in
21:39
Speaker 1: fact you are doing. Don't tear, don't tell your sister
21:43
Speaker 1: and brother down. Don't be going eye for an eye,
21:47
Speaker 1: two for a tooth now for now, but lift each
21:50
Speaker 1: other up, encourage each other, pour into each other. Philippians
21:54
Speaker 1: two and four says that each of you look not
21:57
Speaker 1: only to his own interest, but also to the interests
22:01
Speaker 1: of others. Don't just think about yourself, Think about your brother,
22:05
Speaker 1: think about the sisters, think about those around you, think
22:08
Speaker 1: about those that label what you think about those that
22:11
Speaker 1: are on the podcast, what you think about those that
22:13
Speaker 1: are in the book groups, what you think about those
22:15
Speaker 1: that work on those jobs, what you think about those
22:18
Speaker 1: that are around you. Don't just think about yourself, y'all.
22:27
Speaker 1: We have gotten so focused on us and just thinking
22:31
Speaker 1: about us that we forget that there's other people and
22:35
Speaker 1: that this world is about more than just us. Okay,
22:41
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave you guys with this powerful thoughts, these
22:44
Speaker 1: powerful thoughts on today, these are some words of encouragement
22:47
Speaker 1: that I want to leave with you. Guys' I know
22:50
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be before you long, trying not to
22:52
Speaker 1: stay before you long, just trying to give you a
22:54
Speaker 1: good at least thirty minutes, something that can encourage you,
22:57
Speaker 1: something that can uplift you. That something that can, you know,
23:01
Speaker 1: help you go forward. So I want to leave you
23:06
Speaker 1: with this. God made you on purpose and for a purpose.
23:11
Speaker 1: He didn't just make one plan for everyone. He made
23:15
Speaker 1: a plan that was just for you. The Bible says
23:18
Speaker 1: in Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven and in Psalms one
23:21
Speaker 1: thirty nine that God knows you and he made you
23:24
Speaker 1: wonderfully and unique even before you were born. He designed
23:28
Speaker 1: special things only you can do, like being a great friend,
23:32
Speaker 1: helping others or heaven or having a big imagination. You
23:42
Speaker 1: are God's masterpiece and He is excited to have you
23:46
Speaker 1: as use you as He used your gifts. Sometimes life
23:53
Speaker 1: won't be easy. You may have tough days just like
23:57
Speaker 1: the people in the Bible did. But um It's twenty
24:01
Speaker 1: eighty eight James one and twelve. It reminds you that
24:04
Speaker 1: God works things out for your good even when you
24:07
Speaker 1: feel hard or confused. Your purpose never goes away, and
24:13
Speaker 1: God is always with you, cheering you on. You have
24:17
Speaker 1: hope because God keeps his promise and his love never
24:21
Speaker 1: runs out. If you want to know more about your purpose,
24:26
Speaker 1: talk to God every day and read his word James
24:30
Speaker 1: one in five in Songs one nineteen one on five,
24:33
Speaker 1: it tells us that write down these things you're good
24:38
Speaker 1: at and or loved to do. Write them down and
24:44
Speaker 1: try using them to help others. And remember you can
24:49
Speaker 1: encourage your friends and find purpose in them too. Encourage
24:54
Speaker 1: them to find that purpose and find Encourage them to
24:57
Speaker 1: dig a little deeper, ask questions, explore your gifts, and
25:02
Speaker 1: discover the awesome things that God has planned for you.
25:07
Speaker 1: Know that you are not an accident. God knew exactly
25:14
Speaker 1: what the world needed when he created you. No matter
25:18
Speaker 1: how ordinary or overlook you may feel, you carry a
25:22
Speaker 1: purpose that no one else can fulfill. Even if your
25:26
Speaker 1: journey is difficult, your story is yet finished. God's promise
25:33
Speaker 1: over your life is still to stand. To walk bowling
25:37
Speaker 1: in your calling and know that you are seen, you
25:40
Speaker 1: are chosen, and you are destined for greatness. Hold your
25:44
Speaker 1: head high, for your life is God Master Peace. And motion.
25:50
Speaker 1: So walk with your head up, looking towards the sky
25:53
Speaker 1: from which all your help coming. You are created with purpose,
25:57
Speaker 1: on purpose, and for a purpose this world desperately needs
26:01
Speaker 1: each in every one of you. It's not an accident.
26:05
Speaker 1: It's not a coincident. So let this lesson remind you
26:09
Speaker 1: today and each day that you are created for a
26:13
Speaker 1: purpose that only you can fulfil. Say it to yourself,
26:18
Speaker 1: I am created for a purpose only I can fulfill.
26:23
Speaker 1: I am created for a purpose only I can fulfil.
26:28
Speaker 1: You gotta put it in your heart. You gotta know it,
26:30
Speaker 1: and you gotta speak it over your life and know
26:33
Speaker 1: that his word is not going to return to him Lord,
26:36
Speaker 1: that he's gonna watch over it and towards perform and
26:38
Speaker 1: perfect it in his life. Y'all. Is not an accident.
26:41
Speaker 1: It's not a coincident. It's not by chance that you
26:43
Speaker 1: are here, that you are listening to this. So I
26:46
Speaker 1: want to encourage you to go out grab your copy
26:49
Speaker 1: of this book. It is called a closal walk with
26:53
Speaker 1: I am that I am a thirty one day guy
26:56
Speaker 1: to understand it and exploring the Bible a little deeper, y'all.
27:00
Speaker 1: I designed it, I specifically wrote it for those thirteen
27:04
Speaker 1: to nineteen, but it's for everybody, because y'all, there's activities
27:07
Speaker 1: in here that can be done as a family, as
27:10
Speaker 1: a group, as individuals coming together and utilizing it in
27:15
Speaker 1: a way that everyone can can pour into everyone. It's
27:20
Speaker 1: not specialized to be something that's individualized, but it can
27:24
Speaker 1: give you that opportunity to spend that special time with him,
27:27
Speaker 1: to dive deep their sections, to ask you to dive
27:30
Speaker 1: a little deeper. You even got your journal section, y'all,
27:33
Speaker 1: So I want to encourage you. Y'all. The kids are
27:35
Speaker 1: out for the summer, this is an opportunity to really
27:38
Speaker 1: to pour it into to allow them to use this
27:43
Speaker 1: we can have I would study in the in the
27:48
Speaker 1: apartment complexes, you know, and provide food service for those
27:54
Speaker 1: that do not or may not know that. If you
27:57
Speaker 1: live in apartment complex and you have a community service room,
28:03
Speaker 1: you can go to your local school, you can pick
28:06
Speaker 1: you can have somebody pick up breakfast and lunch and
28:10
Speaker 1: you can serve it in the community room that right
28:13
Speaker 1: there in your local what's the name. If you don't
28:16
Speaker 1: want to do breakfast and lunch, you can just go
28:18
Speaker 1: and do lunch in a snack But there's meals that
28:21
Speaker 1: are free for those that go to school and refree
28:25
Speaker 1: receive free lunch. And that's if they have not cut
28:29
Speaker 1: them out, if they have not took those programs out. Y'all,
28:32
Speaker 1: these programs are yet available. They are yet available for
28:37
Speaker 1: They're yet available for our for our youth, and we
28:42
Speaker 1: just gotta utilize them. We have to utilize them. We
28:45
Speaker 1: have to go and utilize these programs because I know
28:48
Speaker 1: that they are available because I used to work a
28:51
Speaker 1: food service program in South Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina,
28:55
Speaker 1: and it was ran by the state. It was ran
28:57
Speaker 1: by the and South Carolina's called Defects, So it's ran
29:02
Speaker 1: by the South Carolina Defects Office out of Columbia, South Carolina.
29:06
Speaker 1: And you could as an organization, you could go to
29:09
Speaker 1: these programs and you could get funded to feed during
29:12
Speaker 1: the summer times. And what you would do is just
29:14
Speaker 1: go out and you could find different camps. You can
29:17
Speaker 1: find different churches, different whoever was having programs. If they
29:21
Speaker 1: were doing summer programs, you could go out and you
29:24
Speaker 1: could serve them. You could provide them lunch and and snacks,
29:29
Speaker 1: so you can do breakfast and snacks or however you
29:33
Speaker 1: wanted to do it. The program that I worked for,
29:36
Speaker 1: we provided breakfast and lunch, so we and then I
29:40
Speaker 1: also think we did it snacks too, if I'm not mistaken.
29:43
Speaker 1: We did it next too, because I used to go
29:46
Speaker 1: and pick up the stuff from Sam's Clubs and I
29:50
Speaker 1: used to sort it out and distribute it because we
29:53
Speaker 1: had a little box truck and I used to drive
29:56
Speaker 1: the little box trucks and I used to deliver it
29:58
Speaker 1: to the camps. So I used to I used to
30:00
Speaker 1: serve Anderson. We did Anderson, We did Greenville and Simpsonville
30:07
Speaker 1: and little areas around Greenville, Anderson and Abbeville area. Do
30:13
Speaker 1: West one year, I just did I just basically we
30:18
Speaker 1: had I oversaw all of the monitors that went out
30:24
Speaker 1: and monitor the sites because we had to go out
30:26
Speaker 1: and monitor all of the sites. So if we had
30:28
Speaker 1: sixty sites, we had to have someone go out to
30:31
Speaker 1: monitor those sites. So what we did was we would
30:33
Speaker 1: break the sites up, so we may have a monitor
30:36
Speaker 1: that may have five sites, and every week they would
30:38
Speaker 1: have to visit these sites and make sure that they
30:42
Speaker 1: had followed the procedures for that week, and we would
30:45
Speaker 1: have to check off and you know, just do stuff
30:47
Speaker 1: and then we had to do random audits and making
30:50
Speaker 1: sure that they're using the temperature gauge and making sure
30:53
Speaker 1: that you know, they're following the criteria so that the
30:56
Speaker 1: organization could get paid for the services that they would provide.
31:00
Speaker 1: So with that being said, if you have a program
31:05
Speaker 1: and you don't know about these programs, if you have
31:07
Speaker 1: a five, O, one C three, you do a summer program,
31:10
Speaker 1: you're doing something with the kids, or even if you
31:13
Speaker 1: are apartment complex, or if you are a YMCA boys
31:18
Speaker 1: and Girls club or anyone that provides services for youth
31:21
Speaker 1: under the age of nineteen, or if they have a
31:26
Speaker 1: disability or in the disability services in school. I think
31:31
Speaker 1: it's up to twenty one. They are allowed to get
31:33
Speaker 1: these meals. And again some people provide them at parks,
31:37
Speaker 1: so you may go to some local parks. I see
31:40
Speaker 1: there's some individuals that have been posting some places in Georgia,
31:43
Speaker 1: some places in South Carolina, but you would have to
31:47
Speaker 1: go to your local state. You could probably google free
31:50
Speaker 1: places for kids under nineteen to get meals during the
31:53
Speaker 1: summertime and they will probably give you some locations. Again,
31:57
Speaker 1: I don't know each state is different. I know in
32:00
Speaker 1: the State of Georgia. They allow organizations and individuals to
32:04
Speaker 1: get these grants directly from the state so they can
32:07
Speaker 1: get this, I mean from the USDA, because the USDA
32:11
Speaker 1: is the one that is over these programs. And y'all,
32:14
Speaker 1: I used to back in the day, I used to
32:15
Speaker 1: go to all these little, different, little I used to
32:18
Speaker 1: go to all these little, different, little meetings. So I
32:20
Speaker 1: used to actually go to the trainings and sit in
32:24
Speaker 1: and try to get all this little information. So that's
32:26
Speaker 1: why I know a little bit about this. But y'all,
32:28
Speaker 1: it is a good opportunity for those that have these
32:32
Speaker 1: programs and are working with the kids to be able
32:35
Speaker 1: to help cut down on some of the costs of
32:37
Speaker 1: them having to provide meals for these kids throughout the day,
32:40
Speaker 1: because if you got them from morning to if you
32:43
Speaker 1: got them from like six in the morning or seven
32:45
Speaker 1: in the mornings, and some of these parents are dropping
32:47
Speaker 1: these kids out because yet they still got to go
32:49
Speaker 1: to work, y'all, So they drop them off at the
32:51
Speaker 1: same time that they would normally be dropped them off
32:53
Speaker 1: to go to school. So they're dropping them off. They
32:56
Speaker 1: got to have breakfast, and then they got to have
32:58
Speaker 1: a snack and then they got their have lunch and
33:00
Speaker 1: then they don't have to have a snack again before
33:03
Speaker 1: the parents come back and pick them up. So you know,
33:05
Speaker 1: sometimes you may not be able to alleviate all of
33:08
Speaker 1: the costs, but you can alleviate some of the costs
33:11
Speaker 1: with this. And it's just simply if you have a
33:14
Speaker 1: program and you're able to go to the schools and
33:16
Speaker 1: pick up the meals, you can go to the schools
33:18
Speaker 1: and pick up the meal at lunchtime or you can
33:20
Speaker 1: go and pick it up at breakfast time. So what
33:22
Speaker 1: I would do is I was assign someone pacifically to
33:25
Speaker 1: go and pick up meals in the morning, and I
33:28
Speaker 1: would sign someone pacifically to go pick up meals in
33:30
Speaker 1: the evening, and that would just be their job. That's
33:32
Speaker 1: how they got to do, is go pick up And
33:34
Speaker 1: I was just they can go pick up the meals
33:36
Speaker 1: and distribute the meals and they can be their job.
33:38
Speaker 1: And that's how you and you specifically pay them for that.
33:41
Speaker 1: That way, you can put that into the funding of
33:45
Speaker 1: that program. You can write that in as one of
33:49
Speaker 1: the people that's doing whatever they're doing as part of
33:52
Speaker 1: the payment, so that could be how they get paid
33:54
Speaker 1: and that's something else that won't have to come out
33:56
Speaker 1: of your pockets, but it's to be coming out of
33:59
Speaker 1: the funding for the program that you were receiving from,
34:05
Speaker 1: whatever program that you're gonna be receiving it from. You
34:07
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, So, y'all, there's a lot of ways, y'all.
34:10
Speaker 1: It's a lot of stuff that I know about things
34:13
Speaker 1: like that, but I don't have I don't utilize it
34:16
Speaker 1: no more because I don't do a program no more.
34:18
Speaker 1: I don't have a program. But hopefully one day I'll
34:21
Speaker 1: be able to utilize some of these things inside of
34:23
Speaker 1: the center that we're gonna be opening, because we are
34:26
Speaker 1: gonna be opening that center one day, y'all. Y'all gonna
34:28
Speaker 1: one day, y'all gonna hear me talking about that center,
34:30
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be ready to be open, and we're
34:33
Speaker 1: gonna be out here touching lives and impacting lives in
34:36
Speaker 1: a way that it's never been. Like. I have not
34:38
Speaker 1: given up on what God has placed in me, that
34:41
Speaker 1: thing that He placed back in me, that that that
34:44
Speaker 1: that that center of excellence, that Gateway center of excellent, y'all,
34:48
Speaker 1: We're gonna we gotta be the change that we desired
34:50
Speaker 1: to see in this world, and this is one of
34:52
Speaker 1: the ways that He's allowing me to be that change.
34:54
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I'm excited about you know, I'm excited
34:57
Speaker 1: about Cornell coming home, and excited about all of the
35:00
Speaker 1: stuff that you know that I'm just seeing coming to pass.
35:05
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people count people out and
35:09
Speaker 1: they see mistakes that people make and they don't want
35:13
Speaker 1: to give them a second chance. When if we look
35:15
Speaker 1: in this Bible and we look at all of the
35:17
Speaker 1: chances that God gave us, you know, some of us
35:20
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing the things that we're doing if he
35:22
Speaker 1: not giving us a second chance. Because some of us
35:24
Speaker 1: we were deeping our sins. We was in the pits
35:26
Speaker 1: of hell. But yet God rescued us, He brought us out.
35:29
Speaker 1: He saw fit enough for us to extend his grace
35:32
Speaker 1: and his mercy so we were able to make it
35:34
Speaker 1: yet another day. So today, y'all, I'm going to challenge
35:39
Speaker 1: y'all to go out and to share with somebody just
35:42
Speaker 1: a little of God's goodness and what He has done
35:45
Speaker 1: for you and how He has brought you through, so
35:47
Speaker 1: that maybe they can get through y'all and again, if
35:50
Speaker 1: you have not purchased your copy of I Am that
35:53
Speaker 1: I Am at thirty one day teen gud to exploring
35:57
Speaker 1: the Bible. I want you guys to grab you a copy.
36:00
Speaker 1: Grab you a copy so that you can be blessed.
36:03
Speaker 1: And you can't bless those babies. Y'all excuse me, y'all
36:07
Speaker 1: can bless those babies. Y'all can bless those babies because
36:10
Speaker 1: y'all can take this and y'all can utilize this in
36:13
Speaker 1: your camps. Y'all can utilize these in your summer camps.
36:16
Speaker 1: Y'all ask your devotions and if you just want to
36:19
Speaker 1: just have them laying around so that these babies can
36:22
Speaker 1: pick them up and read them so that they can
36:24
Speaker 1: pour something in. Y'all. We got to put something in
36:25
Speaker 1: them so they can take something out so we can
36:27
Speaker 1: get something out. We always want to get something out
36:29
Speaker 1: from y'all. But we ain't willing to put nothing in.
36:32
Speaker 1: We ain't willing to put nothing in. We're not willing
36:35
Speaker 1: to put nothing in. I notice that you're trying to
36:40
Speaker 1: could benefit from a large audience. Not looking for an audience.
36:44
Speaker 1: We just come over there the right support that can
36:48
Speaker 1: start earning up to twenty dollars per hour on Kick,
36:51
Speaker 1: I could help you your chinnel okay, not paying you
36:54
Speaker 1: to GRUWMA channel though they always want they kill me
36:58
Speaker 1: with that. Now we just started for those that don't know,
37:02
Speaker 1: we just started going live on platform called Kick. If
37:06
Speaker 1: you're knocking me with a lot of these platforms, y'all,
37:08
Speaker 1: there are a lot of platforms out here besides YouTube,
37:12
Speaker 1: besides Facebook, besides TikTok that we can utilize that will
37:17
Speaker 1: also allow you as creators to get your stuff out there.
37:21
Speaker 1: So don't be limited to one platform, even especially if
37:24
Speaker 1: you want to monetize, y'all. You can take content and
37:28
Speaker 1: use same content. Not you know, you're not doing anything extra,
37:32
Speaker 1: but you're just uploading it to various other platforms so
37:35
Speaker 1: that it can get out there. So, y'all, these platforms
37:38
Speaker 1: are out here, so utilize them. Utilize them to upload
37:41
Speaker 1: your content. And it's just simply uploading your content and
37:44
Speaker 1: making your content available, you know, available to these other outlets,
37:48
Speaker 1: not saying that you got to do something extra, added,
37:51
Speaker 1: extra schedule, add an extra no, just an extra click,
37:56
Speaker 1: an extra upload, and that's it. That's it, not extra.
38:01
Speaker 1: I know it's hard doing twenty five clips a day,
38:04
Speaker 1: a lot of people doing twenty five thirty clips a day.
38:06
Speaker 1: It's hard. Trust me, I know I'm right there with y'all.
38:10
Speaker 1: I know it's hard, but just want to let you
38:13
Speaker 1: know that there's other outlets that you too can upload
38:16
Speaker 1: too to get your content out there. So utilize these
38:21
Speaker 1: Utilize these platforms, and you know, once you upload to
38:24
Speaker 1: some of these platforms, there's other features that allow you
38:27
Speaker 1: to get various other content and various other things that
38:31
Speaker 1: that's free that comes along with just being a part
38:33
Speaker 1: of the platform. So y'all utilize the platforms. I'm telling
38:37
Speaker 1: you things that I utilize, things that I do, not
38:40
Speaker 1: something that I hope to do or something that is
38:43
Speaker 1: wished for, thinking for things that I have done, and
38:47
Speaker 1: some things that I have utilized that have work for
38:49
Speaker 1: me and just want to share it with those I'm
38:51
Speaker 1: not a gas lighter, not a gatekeeper, just someone that
38:55
Speaker 1: want to see those around me thrive and want to
38:57
Speaker 1: see them doing the best that they can do and
39:00
Speaker 1: the best version of themselves that they can be. So
39:03
Speaker 1: that's what I do. They call me the Queen of
39:06
Speaker 1: Collaboration in these streets because I believe in bringing people together,
39:09
Speaker 1: not believe in tearing people down, but bringing people together
39:13
Speaker 1: to collaborate, to come together, to bring resources together, to
39:16
Speaker 1: bring ideas together, because y'all never know what the next
39:19
Speaker 1: person may be in need of. And knowing that it's
39:22
Speaker 1: not all about me. It's not just about my platforms.
39:25
Speaker 1: It's not just about the people that I come in
39:27
Speaker 1: contact with. But y'all, it's about the kingdom. It's about
39:31
Speaker 1: the bigger picture. It's about some of the stuff that
39:33
Speaker 1: we may not even see in our lifetime. But know
39:36
Speaker 1: that because our grandfathers, our great grandfathers os that came
39:40
Speaker 1: before us, y'all, they did the same thing that we're doing.
39:44
Speaker 1: That's why we're able to do some of the things
39:47
Speaker 1: that we're able to do. Huh Okay, that's why I
39:52
Speaker 1: tell people, don't get mad at me when I say
39:54
Speaker 1: I ain't my ancestors, No I'm not. I'm better than
39:57
Speaker 1: my ancestors, because that's why they did what they did.
40:00
Speaker 1: We could be in a better place than they were.
40:03
Speaker 1: So now we got to do better for our and
40:06
Speaker 1: our generations to come after us, so that when we become,
40:10
Speaker 1: when we become those ancestors that they are talking about,
40:15
Speaker 1: that hey, they can have something to stand on. Just
40:18
Speaker 1: like we got something to stand on from the ones
40:20
Speaker 1: that came before us. We got to give those coming
40:22
Speaker 1: behind us something to stand on. So we can't just
40:25
Speaker 1: be out here just doing any and everything and leaving
40:28
Speaker 1: any and everything as a legacy, because that's not legacy.
40:32
Speaker 1: And we can't keep doing the same thing and thinking
40:34
Speaker 1: that that we're gonna get a different result, because that's
40:37
Speaker 1: not true. That's insanity. Okay. So when you want something different,
40:48
Speaker 1: guess what, you gotta do something different to y'all. We
40:51
Speaker 1: can't keep doing the same thing and expect different. That's
40:55
Speaker 1: why my motto is, I am the change that I
40:57
Speaker 1: desired to see in this world. Change begins and in
41:00
Speaker 1: with me. If I want to see changes, got to
41:02
Speaker 1: start with me. Can't expect somebody else to be the
41:10
Speaker 1: change that I desire to see. Y'all, we got different DNA,
41:14
Speaker 1: we got different thoughts, we got different perspectives. We may
41:17
Speaker 1: be looking at the same thing and may get different
41:19
Speaker 1: ideology out there. We may get different perspectives, and we
41:22
Speaker 1: are seeing that with the Carmela Anthony's case. How the
41:25
Speaker 1: same people look at the same video and see something
41:28
Speaker 1: totally different. We got the same people looking at the
41:31
Speaker 1: same laws and see something totally different. So it's all
41:35
Speaker 1: how you perceive things. It's all what you take in,
41:38
Speaker 1: and it's all about your belief systems, what you've been
41:40
Speaker 1: put into, what moral should have, what values they have,
41:43
Speaker 1: and how you correlate a lot of that stuff to y'all.
41:48
Speaker 1: So what have you put into you so that when
41:51
Speaker 1: it's time for something to come out, the right stuff
41:53
Speaker 1: come out? Because some of us can we can be
41:57
Speaker 1: an We can't be a part of of our environment.
42:05
Speaker 1: But you don't have to be a product of your environment,
42:07
Speaker 1: because guess what, you can be a product of the
42:14
Speaker 1: one that created you. You can walk in all of
42:18
Speaker 1: his goodness. You can walk in all of his greatness.
42:20
Speaker 1: You can walk in all of the things for him.
42:21
Speaker 1: But how do you know that? How you got to
42:24
Speaker 1: put him down in you? You gotta put him down
42:28
Speaker 1: in you so that you can have something to stand on, y'all.
42:32
Speaker 1: That's why I'm going so hard about this. You know,
42:34
Speaker 1: I wondered what devotion I was going to use because
42:37
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna do another thirty one day devotion,
42:40
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep doing them, y'all because I got
42:42
Speaker 1: plenty of devotions. I got plenty of things that you
42:45
Speaker 1: know I can share that will share the Word of God.
42:48
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people not going to church, a
42:50
Speaker 1: lot of people not They're not getting a lot because
42:54
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't give up on religion. They
42:56
Speaker 1: don't give up on spirituality, they don't give up on
42:59
Speaker 1: the Word, period. They just don't give up. They don't
43:02
Speaker 1: give up on the church, not realizing that they are
43:04
Speaker 1: the church. It's not about those four those four walls
43:08
Speaker 1: that they go to. They allow those emotions behind those
43:12
Speaker 1: four walls to take them to a place that they
43:15
Speaker 1: don't need to allow to take them to a place
43:16
Speaker 1: that if they get something down on the inside of them,
43:19
Speaker 1: that them emotions won't even matter. You'll be able to
43:21
Speaker 1: go inside that four walls. You will still be able
43:23
Speaker 1: to see it. You'll still be able to flurish, You'll
43:25
Speaker 1: still be able to die, You'll still be able to
43:27
Speaker 1: do the things that God has called you to. Because
43:29
Speaker 1: it's not those emotions of the four walls, but it's
43:32
Speaker 1: the walking into the truth of the Word and knowing
43:36
Speaker 1: who you are, who you are, and what your purpose is. See,
43:41
Speaker 1: when we know those things, y'all, we can move different.
43:44
Speaker 1: We can move totally different, y'all. God is good and
43:49
Speaker 1: he's yet faithful. He's not changing, staying on his word,
43:54
Speaker 1: and I leave you with that on today, y'all, see
43:57
Speaker 1: y'all back here on tomorrow eight o'clock. We do it
44:00
Speaker 1: again until he tell me something different. I'll be here
44:03
Speaker 1: during an eight o'clock daily devotion until he tell me different.
44:07
Speaker 1: So y'all come back tomorrow. We'll yet on. We could
44:10
Speaker 1: be on day four of this thirty one day devotion.
44:14
Speaker 1: But y'all, the book is a little longer in thirty
44:16
Speaker 1: one days because there's some activities, some extra stuff. There's
44:18
Speaker 1: a lot of little stuff to do inside of the book.
44:21
Speaker 1: You know. It's some pondering, some thoughts, some deeple diving.
44:24
Speaker 1: It's some stuff that can really make you think, some
44:26
Speaker 1: stuff that really make you die, some stuff that really
44:28
Speaker 1: make you want to know. But it's to equip our
44:31
Speaker 1: babies so that they can have something when they go
44:33
Speaker 1: out here in this world. Y'all. We gotta put something
44:37
Speaker 1: in them so they'll have something when they get out here,
44:39
Speaker 1: so they can speak. Just like every morning we spend
44:42
Speaker 1: time with the one that created us. So when we
44:44
Speaker 1: go out here in this world, y'all, we can face
44:46
Speaker 1: this world or they're different. We can face this world
44:48
Speaker 1: with a little something behind our column. We can have
44:51
Speaker 1: something under our belts. We can have something that we
44:54
Speaker 1: can give back out to the universe when it comes
44:56
Speaker 1: at us. Y'all, we ain't got to face it alone. No, oh,
45:00
Speaker 1: that you never have to face this alone. If you
45:02
Speaker 1: just ask him to go before you, he left us
45:04
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. He said he would never leave us
45:07
Speaker 1: nor forsake us. So if he said he would never
45:10
Speaker 1: leave us north for sake us, y'all, we got to
45:12
Speaker 1: understand that. We got to believe that, we gotta trust that,
45:15
Speaker 1: and we got to hold him to his word. So
45:17
Speaker 1: today y'all believe him for something, trust him for something,
45:21
Speaker 1: and tomorrow come back and share a testimony with me
45:24
Speaker 1: of what he did for you today, because y'all, he
45:26
Speaker 1: said every day we got to be expecting something. Because
45:29
Speaker 1: guess what, there's a promise for us today. Every day
45:32
Speaker 1: there is a promise for us every day. Three hundred
45:36
Speaker 1: and sixty five promises should come forth on today, and
45:41
Speaker 1: one we should walk in not walk in it. If
45:45
Speaker 1: you didn't know, y'all, go over there and look in
45:47
Speaker 1: your word, find it, discover it, and let it be. So.
45:51
Speaker 1: I say, y'all have a great day. I love y'all.
45:54
Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all for tuning in. I appreciate y'all for
45:56
Speaker 1: all that y'all do. Again, if y'all get an opportunity
45:59
Speaker 1: to go over check if you don't want to get
46:01
Speaker 1: this book, y'all, there's other books. We got other books.
46:04
Speaker 1: That's inspirational books. That's books for adults, that's books for children.
46:07
Speaker 1: There's all types of different types of books. If you
46:10
Speaker 1: like poetry, there's poetry books, different things. We talk about
46:13
Speaker 1: different subjects, y'all all right, because I have a life
46:17
Speaker 1: that was not It was not easy, and we know
46:22
Speaker 1: that the word talks about that. Whatever whatever religion you
46:26
Speaker 1: may be, if it all goes back to the same thing,
46:29
Speaker 1: we got one guy, one god. We just got different
46:33
Speaker 1: ways that we get there. How you get there is
46:35
Speaker 1: not it's not up to me. It's totally up to
46:37
Speaker 1: you how you get there, But how you get there,
46:40
Speaker 1: I'm still your sister, your brother. I'm still going to
46:42
Speaker 1: encourage you. I'm still I should still be in a
46:45
Speaker 1: place where I should still be able to encourage you.
46:47
Speaker 1: I should still be able to uplift you. I should
46:49
Speaker 1: still be able to support you, but not even looking
46:51
Speaker 1: at who you choose to worship, because at the end
46:55
Speaker 1: of the day, we only got one God. How you
46:58
Speaker 1: worship that God is up to you. How I worship
47:01
Speaker 1: that God should be totally up to me. But we
47:04
Speaker 1: all should be living in a life of love. We
47:06
Speaker 1: shall all should be living with love, inspiration, the fear
47:10
Speaker 1: of God. And then we always should be moving in
47:13
Speaker 1: a place where we can educate, empower and encourage someone
47:16
Speaker 1: and not let it be about us. So again, if
