- 0:15Speaker 2: Do you understand that I'm telling you? God been big
- 0:18Speaker 2: in my life. I'm not gonna kid you. I'm telling you,
- 0:21Speaker 2: and He'll do the same thing for you.
- 0:24Speaker 3: God.
- 0:24Speaker 2: God is a gentleman, you know. I want to I
- 0:26Speaker 2: want to point that out to you. God is an
- 0:29Speaker 2: absolute gentleman. He will not come in unless he's invited.
- 0:37Speaker 2: He don't just barge into your life. He gives us
- 0:41Speaker 2: the power of choice.
- 0:43Speaker 3: You know.
- 0:43Speaker 2: If you say you got it, I don't need you,
- 0:46Speaker 2: he lets you have it. If you say I need you,
- 0:49Speaker 2: come see about me.
- 0:51Speaker 3: He right there. It's just a real simple thing, man.
- 0:55Speaker 2: So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself
- 0:59Speaker 2: in this, and please know I have.
- 1:04Speaker 3: I I was stuck.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I thought a couple of times, well might not make
- 1:12Speaker 2: it past this one. But then if I don't make
- 1:15Speaker 2: it past it, what's gonna happen? And then I held
- 1:19Speaker 2: on to this little thing that my mother kept talking
- 1:21Speaker 2: to me about. She said, sometimes some when you ain't
- 1:25Speaker 2: got nothing else in you, just hope. She said, just
- 1:28Speaker 2: hope It'll be all right, you know. And what I've
- 1:31Speaker 2: learned in my life is that hope is the beginning
- 1:35Speaker 2: of faith. Hope is just is their possibility out there
- 1:40Speaker 2: for me. I show hope, something happened. See hope. Hope
- 1:48Speaker 2: is okay, man, Because like I say, for me, the
- 1:52Speaker 2: way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning of faith.
- 1:55Speaker 3: It was just the idea.
- 1:57Speaker 2: It's just the thought that something could change for me,
- 2:01Speaker 2: that something could be a little bit different from me,
- 2:04Speaker 2: that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
- 2:09Speaker 2: be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around,
- 2:13Speaker 2: it could hit any other direction. Maybe I could quit
- 2:16Speaker 2: messing up. Maybe somebody will forgive me. Maybe somebody will
- 2:21Speaker 2: will just say all right. I don't know, but I
- 2:24Speaker 2: can't count the times I've been in that position. But
- 2:27Speaker 2: then once I hope a little bit, and then I
- 2:29Speaker 2: remember also my mother, because she was a Sunday school teacher,
- 2:33Speaker 2: she taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned
- 2:36Speaker 2: in my life. Nothing has been greater in my life
- 2:39Speaker 2: than my faith. She taught me to pray. Mama used
- 2:42Speaker 2: to say, when it get real, dog for your son,
- 2:45Speaker 2: prayer change is things, she say, when you seem like
- 2:48Speaker 2: you lost and you can't find your way, stop and pray,
- 2:53Speaker 2: she said, because prayer change is things. You know, when
- 2:57Speaker 2: you get a point in your life when you've done
- 2:59Speaker 2: all you can do and you can ain't do no
- 3:00Speaker 2: more and you just don't know what to do next,
- 3:03Speaker 2: she says, stop son pray and combine that prayer with
- 3:09Speaker 2: that hope that you got, she said, because that hope
- 3:12Speaker 2: is the beginning of faith, she said. If you pray
- 3:15Speaker 2: just hoping, she's saying, to God come through for you.
- 3:19Speaker 2: That'll give you confidence that he can do it again.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And then after a while, you quit hoping, she's saying,
- 3:25Speaker 2: you start believing. She saying, that's when you're on to something.
- 3:29Speaker 2: If you can turn that hope into belief, that hope
- 3:33Speaker 2: into faith, the ability to believe in something that you
- 3:37Speaker 2: can't see. But the key though the faith is you're
- 3:40Speaker 2: believing in something that you can't see see hoping a
- 3:45Speaker 2: little bit different from me now, I'm pretty sure, like
- 3:47Speaker 2: I say oftentimes to tell a lot of people who
- 3:50Speaker 2: can explain this thing a lot better than I can
- 3:52Speaker 2: to you. But just from my side of it, being
- 3:55Speaker 2: as real as I can be, rich you See, hope helps.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Man.
- 4:00Speaker 2: If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope,
- 4:02Speaker 2: and then if you pray with some hope and God
- 4:05Speaker 2: answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence,
- 4:10Speaker 2: and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now the
- 4:14Speaker 2: ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something
- 4:18Speaker 2: that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to
- 4:25Speaker 2: my entire existence, even when I didn't have any It
- 4:30Speaker 2: was faith, as I look back on it, that has
- 4:34Speaker 2: gotten me here.
- 4:35Speaker 3: And not just faith, but my faith. See, you will
- 4:40Speaker 3: only get to.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Where you're going in your life based on your faith.
- 4:46Speaker 3: See.
- 4:46Speaker 2: A lot of people get the word faith confused, like
- 4:49Speaker 2: what's your faith? And then they start going down this
- 4:52Speaker 2: whole list of all these different religions out here. But
- 4:55Speaker 2: really an essence, man, when I talk to people about faith,
- 4:58Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about it your belief. How much
- 5:04Speaker 2: do you believe in the unseen? How much do you
- 5:08Speaker 2: believe in the things you can't see? How much do
- 5:11Speaker 2: you believe in the impossible? How much do you believe see?
- 5:17Speaker 2: Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Faith is the core of all that is happening to
- 5:28Speaker 2: me today. It is the faith that I have in
- 5:31Speaker 2: my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes,
- 5:38Speaker 2: if I stay on the right course and believe a
- 5:41Speaker 2: certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.
- 5:47Speaker 2: They just come. And it comes in a lot of
- 5:51Speaker 2: little ways too. I've started to notice, See, it ain't
- 5:54Speaker 2: just a lot of people think blessings is money. Nah, man,
- 5:57Speaker 2: that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
- 6:01Speaker 2: lands safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and
- 6:06Speaker 2: I get up in the sky and it don't be
- 6:08Speaker 2: no bad weather. You know, this is this is favor.
- 6:13Speaker 2: These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
- 6:16Speaker 2: call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity,
- 6:21Speaker 2: you know. Somebody say, hey, man, I don't know, but
- 6:25Speaker 2: I sent this to you.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I thought you might be interested in it.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Somebody will send me a scripture, or somebody will send
- 6:31Speaker 2: me something that's favor, and it always comes at a
- 6:35Speaker 2: time when I need it the most. That's favor that's
- 6:39Speaker 2: pouring out blessings.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Now.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I'm also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too.
- 6:46Speaker 2: You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man,
- 6:50Speaker 2: I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've
- 6:55Speaker 2: been blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See,
- 7:01Speaker 2: blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie
- 7:05Speaker 2: in to God, once you tie in and you start
- 7:10Speaker 2: doing the best you can do, and you start asking
- 7:13Speaker 2: for Him to make you a better person, to help
- 7:16Speaker 2: shape and mold you into the kind of man or
- 7:19Speaker 2: person that he wants you to be. You be amazed
- 7:23Speaker 2: what God can do with you. Man, if you just
- 7:25Speaker 2: invite me in and allow him to be a part
- 7:28Speaker 2: of your life. I mean, what you got to lose
- 7:30Speaker 2: out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell
- 7:33Speaker 2: this morning, why would you not change? You have a
- 7:37Speaker 2: chance to turn your life around with a relationship with God.
- 7:40Speaker 2: What you're waiting on? Are you gonna just keep doing
- 7:42Speaker 2: it like that? Huh?
- 7:43Speaker 3: Really? Come on, man, why would you do that to yourself?
- 7:48Speaker 2: Why would you not allow God to be a part
- 7:50Speaker 2: of your life so you can get the way he
- 7:53Speaker 2: wants you to be. God got some big plans for you.
- 7:55Speaker 2: If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up.
