  Speaker 1: you for bringing with us tonight.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for having me on the podcast.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you for being here.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, now you have been a part of You've
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: been on the show before, and I have It was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: probably a little over a year ago when I had
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you here, okay, and it was a wonderfully experience when
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I had you here before.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And what have you been up to since then?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Well, there's been a couple of changes. I moved from
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: California and I'm now residing in Georgia. Okay, I love
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: it here. That was a major change. But God, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: when God gives your assignment and use the faith. Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: let us here, Okay, Okay, you have.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: To be obedient to when God tells you to move.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You may not understand when he's telling you to move
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and how he's telling you to move, but you definitely
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have to be obedient because he knows the reason why
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: he's telling you to move, and He's already provided the provision.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: For you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: To what he's telling you to do, because He's already
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: put forth the puzzle pieces. You just got to connect
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: them by saying obedient to those instructions.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, exactly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, sometimes, you know, we do get a little stubborn,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: as I was saying earlier in that prayer, we do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get a little side tracked, and we be a little
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: stubborn and not want to listen. But He always is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: going to redirect our path.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And get us right back on the the path that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to be on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yo, you were.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Part of the book I am a living testimony.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: What made you want to be a part of this book?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, my daughter, doctor Simone Williams Young, She is
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the visionary missionary of the anthology. And when my daughter
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: went brain surgery, she said, I told her to put
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: together the anthology because she is a living testimony. So yes,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: he told the Lord that she would be obedient and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: do the assignment. And you know, the more she talked
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: about it, and you know, I have a testimony as well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and she was able to bring together thirty seven authors
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and we just had a great time and just yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you know, sharing what God has done in our lives,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you know, for like you said, you know, He is
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the center of our lives and we cannot do anything
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: without him, and I just thank Him and praise him.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the things that I think. You know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you can't have a testimony without going through the test
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of life. You know, we think that when you pray
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and ask God for something, that's gonna be an easy
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: road to get there. We don't understand that there's gonna
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be some dips and some valleys and some low moments
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to even get through to the other side. And if
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you don't have those low moments, you can't appreciate the ups.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But you got to be able to understand that those
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: low moments is going to be what gets you to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the other side. So if you can't appreciate those down moments,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to understand the fullness
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of your testimony.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'm not trying to preach.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, speaking from my own personal experience
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because I didn't understand, you know that my own testimony.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand that having my stroke at the age
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of thirty, that when I was praying and asking God
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to help me just to see another day, that I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: didn't understand that praying for strength, that God I was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: going to put me through something to test me to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: see just how strong I was, and understanding that the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: strength was going to come from me being tested, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: then praying for wisdom and praying for guidance and praying
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: for these things that God had to put me in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: situations to understand that I had to go through these
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: things to understand that He was equipping me for what
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I was going to go through, so that I could
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: see that these things were being placed in front of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: me to give me the guidance, to give me the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: tools that I was going to need, so that when
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I did look back over what He had brought me
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: through that it was only Him that could do it
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: When Man told me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: That I could not do these things, that I was
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: never going to walk again, that I was just going
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to be able to have to get used to walking
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with the kinge to just being able to not use
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the left side of my to not being able to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: speak again, to not being able to do those things.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It was Man that said these things, but God said,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: trust me and I'll bring you to the other side.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It was God who showed me trust me and I'll
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: help you to get to the other side. So learning
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to lean on God when Man told me, oh, just
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get used to it. So I learned that that testimony.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I had to appreciate those bad times to understand that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it could get better if I trusted God again. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that's that's the beauty and understanding that you got to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have a test to have a testimony. What has been
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: your biggest test that God has brought you through?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, what's been the biggest test? Uh? You know, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: have had several tests. I would say. I also went
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: through a breast cancer skier in twenty two and like
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you said, they'll give you a doctor diagnosis, you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: and I had to go through all of this testing
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and they try to tell you because of your DNA
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and your that it's your genealogy that it runs in
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the famcy and you know they're telling you all these things,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and you know they're breaking everything down to you. And yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: they told me that, uh, you know, you go through
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: your your tests and your surgeries or whatever. And I
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: was the Lord took me through that and I made
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: it through the surgery. But the challenging part was when
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I went through the radiation and the chemotherapy. The kurpey
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: was thir weeks and I had to go Monday through Friday,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and same with the radiation. Now, the radiation was harder
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: because you know, they are silly. You know, they are
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: honing in on the part where they are they are
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: doing the the word they're beaming on that that part
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: of the body and cation affects your body. Yeah, that
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: that that was one of the hardest things, you know.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And you know, they told me that I needed to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: cut this off, and I needed to cut that off,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: and I needed to cut you know, and I said,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I am I was seventy seventy one at the time
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: that they told me that I'm seventy three now. But
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and so there's me that you know, I needed to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: do this, and you know it was like life threatening
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and all of that. But you know, I said, I'm
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: not thirty years old. I'm sorry. I'm not cutting up
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: my body now, that's just my faith. I said, I'm
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: not going to all okay, I've gone right, all right,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I've gone through the radiation and you know, I'm going
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to use my faith and that and that's it, right,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna believe the part of the Lord, you know.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And I said, it's just being God. So God took
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: me through that, and I just thank God that all
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: my MRI tests they have been negative. And I'm just
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: thanking God. I have one more year to go through
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and it ain't coming back in the name of Jesus.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But that is where my faith. But in it as
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you were, you learned, if you do not have a testimate,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: how are you gonna witness to anyone and tell them
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: about the goodness of God? Right, it was a blessing.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: And I was going through the radiation. There was a
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: young lady there that wasn't atheist. She told me that
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: she was an atheist, and at the end of my radiator.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It got really really hard. And because she's rest surgery,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: so there's a little area where you you're very sensitive
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: for the treatment.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: So one day she told me, she said, miss Brenda,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: she said, you are so strong, and I looked at her.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I said, no not. I said, it's because of God.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I told her, I said, it is the Lord. She said, well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I just want to tell you this, She said, many
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: people when they get to the stage of the radiology
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: that you are going through and with the symptoms that
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you have. She said, they leave and they don't come back.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: What do you mean they leave and they don't come back.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: You want to get well, right, So I told her,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't care what you know, what the
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: pain level is. I said, but God is with me
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and He's going to help me go through this, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: you know that is my And so she looks over
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and she told me, she said, I just don't believe it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: She said, I just don't believe your faith. So if
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: it was just for her to see that God was
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: keeping me through the test, it meant everything because I
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: can tell that I was softening her heart because you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I always was positive, you know, And I just told her.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I said, well, I go through it, you know. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: just told him just be patient with me, and they
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: were so kind and so loving, and I made it
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: through and the tests and examinations were fine. So I
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: just give God all the glory and the honor and
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the praise. Yes, so.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I can say all it takes is just one person.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: If your walk with God can reach one person, that's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: all Gods for us to be the vessel to bring
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: one person closer to him, because if you can reach
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: one person, that one person will reach another person and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: continue to change because God wants us to be those
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: vessels to bring his children to him. And I was
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to pick up some medicine this today and I was
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: talking to want the pharmacist about my own thing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm picking.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Up this my grain medicine because of my grain medicine
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: helps me with my my brain condition. And if I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: didn't have that my grain medicine, because I have KR
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: information and that my grain medicine is about the only
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: prescription medication that I take, I'll do it's herbal because
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: there's no cure.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: For my brain condition that I have.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: There's a decompression brain surgery that they offer However, it
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: is not a cure, and so I refuse to have
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this surgery.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And count people have had this.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Surgery, and you know, they're like, well, I've had the surgery.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: They've gone down here because it's a progressive condition.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: People have had a surgery. And I'm not laughing at
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: them for having the surgery. That's that's not where the laugh.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Is coming from.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But I've had people say, well, just have a surgery
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and you'll be better, and I'm like, no, I was
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: told by man that to just get used to it,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and I told them I will not just get.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Used to it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Me and God will fight this out and helps me
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to function enough to where I'm not in excruciating pain
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to where I can literally function enough because I'm in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: pain right now, but I've been able to manage it
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: enough to where I don't look as if I'm in pain,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you know, And I'm grateful to God that he I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: don't look like what I'm going through. I say that,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm grateful because that's God's grace and his mercy
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for me. But He has carried me through, and carrying
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: me through is me. And God has been battling this
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: out now I say, for a little over fourteen years,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and God's grace and his mercy has kept me that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I don't walk with a cane. I'm able to speak,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you know. Every while I have my issues where I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get lost in thought or whatever.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But He has kept me.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And so I was telling the lady today at the pharmacy,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, you would not know these things about
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: me had I not spoken them to you, I said,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but this is what God has done for me. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: so I am grateful that I have the ability to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: share my testimony with you because Man had said that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I needed to have this surgery to be able to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: do what I'm doing, and had I listened, I would
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: not be here.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I said.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I was also dying with a brain aneurism also, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: during this time, and they were watching this brain aneurism.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I was going every year to.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Have this brain aneurism monitor because they didn't know how
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to treat it, and they didn't want to go in
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and do surgery to cause more damage because of where
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it was located.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So I was terrified.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I couldn't do the things I had been doing with
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: my kids. I was very active. I was an active runner.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I was playing football with my boys.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: My boy here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was a very I was a tumbboy. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I played with my boys all the time. So we
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: rough house all the time. So I had to stop
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: doing those things with my boys, and that was hard
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for me, and it was hard for them as well,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: because that's what they were used to me doing with them,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and so I had to stop, and so it was hard.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And so we were watching that and so every year
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I would go in. They're like, well, there's no change
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in this, but we don't want to do any surgery
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. And so this was in two
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine. So two thousand and twelve, I go
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: for my yearly MRI and I go in and I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: get it done, and then I go in for my results.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And as I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh, Lord,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: here we go. Don't tell me there's no change everything.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But of course I'm praying and I'm asking God, even
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: if you don't, I know I'm gonna be dealing with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the KERI mount information. I know I'm gonna have the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: residual effects of the stroke. I'm still gonna have the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: deficit from time to time with the left side weaknesses
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and everything with the stroke, that's fine, I can deal
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: with that, you know, but please just take this aneurysm away.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have to deal with this.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: That was consistently and so for two years we're dealing
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: with this, and I'm like, just if you do nothing else, just.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Take this, you know.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm not really you know, concerned, but I'm just like, God,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: if this is something you could do for me, just
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you know. But I'm just going in for the results
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: because it's been a consistent thing every time I've gone.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And so as I'm sitting there, she's telling me, She's like, oh, well,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: we did the MRI everything, with their KRI everything.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: There's no change with that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And so I'm like, okay, let's change with with the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: angerism either. She's like, oh, there's absolutely no trace of
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the aneurism. It's completely dissolved and yeah, and so I'm like, okay,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Now it does not hit me in the office when
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: she says this, So I'm taking all of that in.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I get i leave there and I'm driving myself to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: work and I'm replaying she said to me, and I'm like,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: there's no trace of the anyeurysm. Thank you Lord, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: appreciate that he answered my prayer. So I get to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: my job, I call my friend and he's like, he's answering.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: He answered the phone and he was like, so what
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: did what did the doctor say?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I said, And.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Immediately when he asked me that, I just bust out crying,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, my God, is the bad news.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not bad news. I got great news.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: There's no trace of the rysm. I was a baby
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: literally all day because God had answered my prayers, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: every time somebody asked me, I just bron down crying,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and so every person that hugged me, I cried. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: said that I cannot do anything but praise God and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: thank him for the blessing that he gave me, because
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: he took this away from me.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: There was absolutely no trace of this. Now. God blessed
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: me in a way that no one else could.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And since then, I've had some other health issues where
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, I lost my ability to speak, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it happened overnight, and I went from being able to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: speak like this to literally going downhill to having to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: write down everything. And it was crazy because no one
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: could tell me why. But it was a complication due
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to ki mountformation. And what ki mountformation is. It's a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: serious neurological condition that affects the cerebellum, which is what
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: controls your your brain function and in controls vision, your
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: motor functions, your legs, your movements, It controls any everything
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that you do, your temperature regulations, your heart palputations, it
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: controls literally the central.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Heart actions.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And so anytime there's any issues that I have, this
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: is what I have to deal with. And severe migraine headaches,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and there's things that I can tell the difference between
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a migraine headache and a Krii mountformation headache. And so
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: if I say I have a migraine, I can still function.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: But if I have both a Krii and a migraine,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I literally can not function.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I've learned to function with both of them because when
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you have three children and you have no support, you
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: have to do what a mom has to do and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you have to take care of your children. So you
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: learn you lean on the support that you have and
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: God has provided that source of support. So when I
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: say God has brought me through everything that I have
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: been through, I know what it's like to lean on
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: when there's no one else to lean on. So God
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: is my source. So when you can plug into.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: That source, when there's no other way to get through
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: what you've been through, you know that God is the way.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And if I can lead you to Him, Baby, I'm
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about him all day every day.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You can get of talking to me you want to,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna bring him up in a conversation.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Hey man, you know God is a miracle working God,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you know, and God allows us to go through these
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: situations where you know, you know they my God. You
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: had an aneris and the Lord her anysm. I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: glory God. I mean that is God's fingerprints all over.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: You know I loved you, and how He's kept you
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: for fourteen brain surgery and going through all of this
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: is which is surmountable. That is only so you are yourself.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, look, I say, o, MG, which is only my God?
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Those are my.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Only only only so I knew and I knew that
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you know, there was the possibility they tell you you
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: know you may not make it and all of this,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: but then you know God, and you know the word
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: of God, and you have the word of God hidden
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: in your heart and you stand on that word, God
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: will come through. Every time. I've had, you know, too
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: many situations that threatening and I stood on the word
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: of and God moved every time. So it is yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: it is imperative that the saints of God know their word.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You've got to if you're going through a medical challenge,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you have to know your healing scriptures. You have to
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: get those healings. When I went through, uh, the nervous breakdown, Uh,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I did not have a mind operated by the spirit
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: of God living on the ends of me. The things
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: that I could not think of mentally, the Holy Spirit, Yes,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: oppression when I do annety, when I went through the
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: fear and the depression, and that is just awful monster.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: You know. I would go through periods where I did
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: not want to get up out of bed, go down
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: and depressed, and the Holy Spirit I would hear him
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and he would say, get up from there and put
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: your clothes on, absolutely get moving. And I think my
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: daughter was about six years old at the time. And
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I was so sick that I became very fearful, and
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I became very nervous, and I would just shake, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: the enemy attacked me with that fear. So whenever I
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: would get on the freeway, I would just start shaking
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: and just going through this whole, this whole thing. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: because I knew the word of God, you know, I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: could grab my scriptures out. You know. God has not
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: given me a spirit of fear, but a power love
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: and of a sound mind take authority. I come against
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: this fear. And I had to fight, you said, fourteen
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: years with the mind. I had to go through almost
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: fifteen years before God was able to just get my
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: mind completely straight and clear and to clear up the depression,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: to clear up the anxiety and the fear. But and
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I tell you it was so bad mentally. I remember
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: telling God one day, I said, I felt like I
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: was down in a hole, a very dark hole. And
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I said said, I know anything, but in the flesh,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I feel so broken, like you cannot put me back
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: together again. But I'm going to stand on your word
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: and believe you and trust you. And God took me
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: through all of it. He took me through everything, so
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: where my mind was fogged up, it wasn't clear, you know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And then God just gave me a whole new career.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I went to school, I got my bachelor's, I got
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: my masters, God just blessed me. I became a minister
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: of the gospel and did an associate pastor and then
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: a pastor under my chief Apostle Michael Rose in Los Angeles.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, God just took me from that stage of
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you know, that critical stage mentally. It's it's there's physical
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: there's a physical injury, the mental injury, and you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I think they both are they're both awful. Yeah, God,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Thank God for his healing power. You know that He
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: has delivered us and we can depend on God and
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: God can take us he because he can bring us
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: through anything if we trust him.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: If Yeah, sometimes I feel like we don't want to.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: We don't want to be broken in order to be
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: mended back to get through God's word, you know, we
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: don't want to go through the brokenness, you know. But
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: God is capable of mending us back together if we're
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: willing to allow him to do the mending and to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: because God is capable of doing it all, if we're
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: willing to be open.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: To his process.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Because we want to try to go ahead of him
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: half the time thinking we know it all, we know
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a short cut around his way of doing things. We
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: want to rush the process and rush his time. And
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: God knows us better than we know ourselves because.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: We were pre in his image.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: We were created to do what He created us to do.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: We don't know everything, We are not above his plans
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: There has been something.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: That we were created specifically for in this life, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: if we trust him, we will be able to see
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: it and provided for those who are will. You are
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the blueprint someone else's path, and what we have been
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: going through is somebody else's testimony. We need to be
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: able to see our blueprint for someone else because the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: testimony that we have is someone else's blueprint, and they
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: need to know that what they're going through is not
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the end. And if they can see how we were
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: able to overcome, they know that we can get out
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: of what it is because just the bottom doesn't mean
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that you can't climb to the top. Just like they
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: say the bottom of one mountain is the top of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the next, you know, so you.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Just gotta you gotta get out of there.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: And just because it looks like you're at the bottom
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you're at the bottom. You have to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: be able to understand. This is one thing that I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: told my dad a few years ago, and me and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: my dad we've been working on our relationship and as
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: we've got older, as I've gotten older, and of course
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: he's gotten older as well. Is that when you have
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a relationship with God, is that you understand the sacrifice
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: that God made when he sacrificed his son.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: And you won't understand.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: The sacrifice of parenting until you know what it means
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice your child, when you will give your only
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: begotten son to the sins of the world. And so
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: when you sacrifice yourself for your children, you understand how
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: God gave for us. I said, so when I gave
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of myself for my children, like when I got sick,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I still worked to try to make sure my kids
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: did not go without. Now my kids, on the other hand,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: now that they made.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Me feel like I'm the child half the time now
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: and so they tell me I am the most.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Hard headed parent they've ever had to raise, you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: because now it's their job. Is they say to take
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: care of me because they've watched.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Me going through the things that they've.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Gone through, and they don't want me to have to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: stress anymore. And so when they know that I'm having
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a hard day or whatever, they're like, Okay, Ma.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: You've done too much. Go sit down.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So I got this, you need to rest, sit down,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: don't do that. I got it, and I'm like, okay,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm still your mama.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Mama, you need to sit up.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's one of those things, and I'm
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: grateful for it, but at the same time, I'm like,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm your mama, don't tell me what to do. So
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it's like they keep telling me, I'm hard headed. I
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: don't know how to listen. I'm a hard headed parent.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Don't don't listen like they're supposed to. And I'm like,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I'm your mama, so don't don't. Don't be doing that.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: But my my youngest son, he tells me all the time.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: He he my daddy, and I need to do what
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: he told me to like he run a tight ship
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: around here. And you know, hard hated because I don't
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: know how to listen when you tell me to do something.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I'm grateful because they've understood the sacrifices that I've.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Made for them.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Yea, so my dad has. He's learning that. You It
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: wasn't me being disrespectful, but it's one of those things
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: that you understand the relationship that God had with his son,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you understand the sacrifice that it means love your children
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: in that capacity. And so that is where I was
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: going with that. And so my dad kind of has
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: understood that the title of parent means nothing without the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: concept of understanding the dynamics of the relationship, because anybody
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: can have the title, but without the dynamics of understanding
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: what the relationship means, you mean nothing because you have
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to have the dynamics that build the relationship.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Because titles mean nothing.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You have to have the relationship that solifies what it
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: means to exists together. And so when you put forth
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the effort to build the relationship.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Because I can.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Talk to you about Jesus, I can talk to you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: about God, but if I don't have a relationship him,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: me talking to you about him like I.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Read about him in a book, Yes.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If I Yeah, I know about him, but I don't
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: know him like that. But I can talk to you
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: about him because I've built a relationship with him, like
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I know what he's done for me. My experience with
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: him is what I can talk to you about because
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I know what he's done for me, and I can
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: speak on where he's brought me from when there was nobody.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I know that there was nobody but Him who helped.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Me to regain my speech when I couldn't walk and
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: there was no man around to help me get that back,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: when I couldn't talk, There was no man around, There
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: was no doctor around that was helping me get this
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: packed that there was nothing but me and God sitting
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: there talking together.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: God, how we gonna do this?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: He like, just trust me and I'm gonna get you here.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: But you gotta trust me.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: It ain't gonna always be pretty, it ain't always gonna
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: be easy.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: But if you trust me, we gonna get there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: So I learned to lean on him and trust him
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: through the process.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Now was I always obedient? Now I was a little
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: hard haded. I was a little.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Stubborn because it didn't look like what I thought is
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: should look like. And so I was like, God, I
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: think you you sent that that vision to the frump house,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: like even down to the publishing business.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: God, I think you sent.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: This down to the wrong person, me speaking in public. God,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I think you sent this to the wrong address. I
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: don't think this was for me. I think this was
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: somebody else. But he was like now, he sent it
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: right back to me. This was at the right address.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: It was right to the right person. I just need
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you to do what I do. And I'm like, God,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: don't care who you talking to, because I don't think
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: you got the right person.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: He said, I said.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Do it, Okay, I'm gonna do it, and I've been
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: doing ever since.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: In my par No, but I'm doing what he told
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: me to do. I don't go up there minding his
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: business because I don't know how to do his job.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Like he know how to do his job. All I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: know is what he told me to do, and I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: stay out.
• 38:32

• 39:09
  Speaker 1: obedient to what he says do and I'm gonna do.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Do I still get off the track sometime? Yes, because
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I'm hard headed and.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: He know the child and he he created. And he'd
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: be like, see there you go, because I'm a gone,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a question. I'm like, God, look here, I need
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: to talk to you for me. I got a couple
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of questions.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: And he'd be like, I'm not today.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on hold because you got seventeen
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: questions and I ain't got time to answer you today.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I'll call you back tomorrow.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: And I'll be like, okay, well and then we're gonna
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: have our conversation.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do what he said. But I got a
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: couple of questions and what he said, so well, you
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: know that relationship with gods, you can do that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then you have the relationship. But you know it's
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: ansome that you know, because God has made us, He
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: knows what he in us, you know, so you know,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: God gives us the assignment and you know we feel
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: that you know, Oh, I don't know if I can
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: do it or not. But in the situation that we
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: have to go through, God teaches us to hear his voice.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: He teaches us how to end upon him. It's just
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: so much we learn when we're going through our trials,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: in our tribulations. If we do not go through anything,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: then we reject the training that God has. But it's
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: something we're for some read. We always think we can't
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: do something, and God the baker, and he's telling us
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: what to do. It's sort of like Moses when God
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: told Moses to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: and he told God, well, I can't talk, and God
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: is like, I made you. I know what you can do? Yeah, no,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: but we all do that, you know. But if God
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: brings out all the hidden gifts and all the hidden
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: as we go through things, you know, we find that
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: there are things in us that we did not know
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: were there. You know, our strength, you know, going through
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: the brain anaerism, myself, going to the cancer, going through
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: the nervous breakdown. You know, when you look at it
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: from the outside, it just looks so enormous. But have
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: a relationship with God and you're going step by step
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: with him, and he's leading us and guiding us, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: we're standing on the word of God. We are going
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: to come out victorious if we do it God's way.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, as Christians, for some reason, we don't
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: want to go through anything. Right I say this even
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: to my daughter. Jesus died on the cross, So what
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: makes us think that we're not going to go through anything? Okay,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: so that if you share in his suffering, then you
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: will reign with him. So we are going to have trials,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: We're going to have tribulations that are going to develop
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: our testimonies that God brought us out and He has
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: brought us out victorious, and that is going to give
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: those around us. It will it will help them to
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: trust God. When they see a miracle before them, you know,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: they can say, oh, look, God brought you out of that,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: because I tell you, just listening to your testimony of
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: all that you have had to go through, it is
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: only God. It is only God. Here the awesome testimony.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: And you don't look like what you've gone through.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: So that said, just look God, that advertisement. You know,
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: when we've gone through and people hear us, and you know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: they'll say Wow, she went through that that I can
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: trust God, you know, like you said, these people hope
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: that they can conquer the and the attacks of the
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: enemy that will come upon them because the word of
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: God crazer is he that's in us than he that
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: is in the world. And when we have the Lord
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: on our side, he will bring us out victorious every time.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: What do you have that's next for you?
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, uh, I'm working on a new book it's
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: called Love Rejection, and have a stage play called The
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Five Foolish Visions. I'm down in Georgia and I've just
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: started on that project. We did December. Uh it was
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: uh a success, it was a hit again. So uh yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Now at this time in this season, I'm preparing to
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: get more into theater, into uh doing my stage Yes.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Nice, Okay, Well give me the information on that so
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: that I can definitely come and check those out.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I will definitely will. I definitely will. Yes, so.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Stage plays now, I can't act, but nothing like that,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: but I definitely love to come watch.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that will definitely give you all of the information.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: I will be so blessed to have you come, you
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: know and be Now, writing was something that in school
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I won't say that I got a's in. God has
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: taught me how to direct. Okay, yes he is, He
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: has taught me. But to say that I went to
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: school for theater, that I went to acting school, you
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: know I did. And it's just a gift that God
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: has given me that I did not know was that
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: was there. And that's what I was saying. When God
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: gives us assignments, he gives us projects, and you know,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: we feel that we can't do it. God is trying
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: to show us, you know, what He has put in us.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: So when I was at here's a goal to do
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: a play, like, I don't know if I can do that,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: you know. But as I was obedient and started to
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: do plays at my church for the youth groups, outreach
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: and what have you, that's how God started training me
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: and showing me what I could do. You and from there,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: from one play to the other, and ended up with
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: this stage play. So it's been fun. It's called The
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Five Foolish Virgins. It's funny. I love to write comedy
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: because the world, they think that Christians don't have fun
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: in the first place, you know, So I chose to
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: write comedy and it's needed for now. We're going through
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: so much in the world that we need to get
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: out and we need to laugh, you know, we need
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: to forget about when we go out, you know what
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: problems and challenges we are going through. So yeah, that's
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: how we give people a good laugh, enjoy. Yes, that's yes, yes, okay, yeah.
