- 0:13Speaker 1: radio show.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Do you understand that I'm telling you God been big
- 0:18Speaker 2: in my life. God, God is a gentleman, you know.
- 0:21Speaker 2: I want to I want to point that out to you.
- 0:24Speaker 2: God is an absolute gentleman. He will not come in
- 0:30Speaker 2: unless he's invited. He don't just barge into your life.
- 0:36Speaker 2: He gives us the power of choice. You know, if
- 0:39Speaker 2: you say you got it, I don't need you, he
- 0:41Speaker 2: lets you have it. If you say I need you,
- 0:45Speaker 2: come see about me.
- 0:46Speaker 3: He right there.
- 0:48Speaker 2: It's just a real simple thing, man. So always say
- 0:52Speaker 2: to people this, if you've gotten yourself into something, and
- 0:57Speaker 2: please know I have.
- 0:59Speaker 3: I man see that.
- 1:02Speaker 2: That's why I'm so adamant about it, because I've gotten
- 1:05Speaker 2: myself in some circumstances and positions in my life. Well,
- 1:10Speaker 2: I've been, I've been. I've had some low moments. Man,
- 1:13Speaker 2: I've had some moments where I did not know what
- 1:17Speaker 2: to do. I didn't know what was next, I didn't
- 1:21Speaker 2: know how to go about it. I didn't have no
- 1:24Speaker 2: more ideas. I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well,
- 1:32Speaker 2: might not make it past this one. But then if
- 1:36Speaker 2: I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And
- 1:39Speaker 2: then I held on to this little thing that my
- 1:41Speaker 2: mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes some
- 1:45Speaker 2: when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope,
- 1:48Speaker 2: she said, just hope it'll be all right, you know.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And what I've learned in my life is that hope
- 1:55Speaker 2: is the beginning of faith. Hope is just is there
- 1:59Speaker 2: possibility out there for me? I show hope, something happened. See,
- 2:07Speaker 2: hope is okay, man, Because like I say, for me,
- 2:12Speaker 2: the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
- 2:14Speaker 2: of faith.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It was just the idea.
- 2:17Speaker 2: It's just the thought that something could change for me,
- 2:20Speaker 2: that something could be a little bit different from me,
- 2:24Speaker 2: that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
- 2:30Speaker 2: be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around,
- 2:35Speaker 2: it could hit any other direction.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Maybe I could quit messing up.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Maybe somebody will forgive me, maybe somebody will just say
- 2:45Speaker 2: all right. I don't know, but I can't count the
- 2:49Speaker 2: times I've been in that position. But then once I
- 2:53Speaker 2: hope a little bit, and then I remember also my
- 2:55Speaker 2: mother because she was a Sunday school teacher. She taught
- 2:59Speaker 2: me the most a lesson I've ever learned in my life.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith.
- 3:06Speaker 2: She taught me to pray. Mama used to.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Say, when it get real, dog for your son, prayer
- 3:12Speaker 3: changes things. She said.
- 3:15Speaker 2: When you seem like you lost and you can't find
- 3:18Speaker 2: your way, stop and pray, she said, because prayer change
- 3:23Speaker 2: is things. You know, when you get a point in
- 3:25Speaker 2: your life when you've done all you can do and
- 3:27Speaker 2: you can't do no more, and you just don't know
- 3:29Speaker 2: what to do next, she said, stop, son, pray and
- 3:35Speaker 2: combine that prayer with that hope that you got, she said,
- 3:41Speaker 2: because that hope is the beginning of faith, she said.
- 3:44Speaker 2: If you pray just hoping, she said, to God come
- 3:49Speaker 2: through for you. That'll give you confidence that he can
- 3:52Speaker 2: do it again. And then after a while, you quit hoping,
- 3:57Speaker 2: she saying, you start believing, she said, And that's when
- 4:00Speaker 2: you're on to something. If you can turn that hope
- 4:04Speaker 2: into belief, that hope into faith. That's the ability to
- 4:15Speaker 2: believe in something that you can't see. But the key
- 4:18Speaker 2: though the faith, is you're believing in something that you
- 4:22Speaker 2: can't see. See hoping a little bit different from me. Now,
- 4:26Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Like I say oftentimes to tell a
- 4:28Speaker 2: lot of people who can explain this thing a lot
- 4:30Speaker 2: better than I can to you, hope is just kind
- 4:33Speaker 2: of I don't know how to I don't know how
- 4:35Speaker 2: to say it. But I'm just telling you.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Hope is.
- 4:37Speaker 2: You're just hoping it work right. You just have a
- 4:40Speaker 2: thought in your mind that you know, Man, whoever you are,
- 4:45Speaker 2: or whoever you are, whatever you are to me God,
- 4:48Speaker 2: I show hope something change.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Hope helps. Man. If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Hope, hope, and then if you pray with some hope
- 5:02Speaker 2: and God answers your prayer, then that hope gains a
- 5:06Speaker 2: little confidence, and after a while that confidence becomes faith.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Now I ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing
- 5:18Speaker 2: in something that I cannot see. Faith has been the
- 5:25Speaker 2: key to my entire existence, even when I didn't have
- 5:30Speaker 2: any It was faith, as I look back on it,
- 5:36Speaker 2: that has gotten me here, and not just faith, but
- 5:41Speaker 2: my faith. See, you will only get to where you're
- 5:46Speaker 2: going in your life based on your faith. See a
- 5:53Speaker 2: lot of people get the word faith confused, like what's
- 5:56Speaker 2: your faith? And then they start going down this whole
- 5:59Speaker 2: list of all these different religions out here.
- 6:03Speaker 3: But really an essence, man, when I talk.
- 6:05Speaker 2: To people about faith, I'm talking to you about your
- 6:09Speaker 2: your belief. How much do you believe in the unseen?
- 6:15Speaker 3: See?
- 6:17Speaker 2: Faith is the core of all that is happening to
- 6:21Speaker 2: me today. It is the faith that I have in
- 6:25Speaker 2: my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes
- 6:32Speaker 2: if I stay on the right course and believe a
- 6:35Speaker 2: certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.
- 6:41Speaker 3: They just come. And it comes in a lot of
- 6:44Speaker 3: little ways too.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I've started to notice, See it ain't just a lot
- 6:48Speaker 2: of people think blessings is money. Nah, man, that ain't it.
- 6:52Speaker 2: It's coverage. It's every time my plane lands safe. It's
- 6:57Speaker 2: every time they predict bad weather and I get up
- 7:00Speaker 2: in the sky and it don't be no bad weather.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You know, this is this is favor. These are blessings
- 7:07Speaker 2: that get poured out to me. Somebody call me and
- 7:10Speaker 2: offer me something, not money, but an opportunity. See, blessings
- 7:17Speaker 2: come a lot of ways. But once you tie in
- 7:20Speaker 2: to God, once you tie in and you start doing
- 7:25Speaker 2: the best you can do, and you start asking for
- 7:28Speaker 2: him to make you a better person, to help shape
- 7:31Speaker 2: and mold you into the kind of man or person
- 7:35Speaker 2: that he wants you to be. You be amazed what
- 7:38Speaker 2: God can do with you, man, if you just invite
- 7:40Speaker 2: me in and allow him to be a part of
- 7:43Speaker 2: your life. I mean, what you got to lose out there?
- 7:46Speaker 3: Come on?
- 7:47Speaker 2: Why would you not change? Why would you not allow
- 7:50Speaker 2: God to be a part of your life. God got
- 7:53Speaker 2: some big plans for you. If he didn't, you wouldn't
- 7:55Speaker 2: keep waking upright
