  Are you going to be a pastor or a minister?

  Have Faith, Let It Begin. And it starts right now.
• 1:19
  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this Monday, March 10th,
• 1:22
  2025 edition of Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 1:25
  I'd like to thank every single one of you for your birthday wishes.
• 1:29
  I had a beautiful night with my family. We got a chance to cut some cake, break some bread.
• 1:35
  I was able to cook some Spanish food, and it was a great experience and a great
• 1:40
  opportunity to get together. It's always awesome to get together when you can
• 1:45
  with your family, especially on special occasions.
• 1:49
  Well, I want to start off by thanking all of you for your consistent prayers
• 1:53
  as we continue you to lift up in prayer.
• 1:56
  Our good friend here at Have Faith Let It Begin, Clinton Knapp,
• 2:00
  who again, if you don't know what happened last week, he did have his second heart transplant.
• 2:04
  If you don't know who Clinton is, you have to go into our archives and take
• 2:08
  a look at personal testimonies.
• 2:11
  Clinton received a heart transplant almost 20 years ago. Actually,
• 2:15
  not even 20 years ago. What.
• 2:18
  Maybe close to 10 years ago. I want to get that clarification. So I apologize.
• 2:23
  The family has gone through a lot. His 15-year-old son received a heart transplant.
• 2:29
  His daughter is being watched now, but Clinton received his second heart transplant.
• 2:34
  And, you know, we are praying for him, his family, for his wife,
• 2:38
  Maria, who I used to work with at my job.
• 2:41
  And she still works in the same facility, but not, you know,
• 2:44
  close with me as we used to. But, you know, we've been reaching out and texting.
• 2:49
  And a lot of you have reached out to me and said, we're praying for Clinton.
• 2:52
  And I know the church that I go to at the First Reformed Church, we're praying for him.
• 2:56
  And we just want to continue to let you know that his second surgery of his
• 3:02
  two-part surgery went successful as well.
• 3:05
  So there's a lot of good things happening right now in the world of surgery,
• 3:10
  especially in the world of the Ortiz slash Knapp family. We are continuing them in our prayers.
• 3:16
  We also want to reach out and let you know that we have been praying all weekend
• 3:20
  long also for Carol as she continues to honor the life of her husband and a
• 3:26
  good friend of the show, Dennis.
• 3:28
  Carol is a huge part of my family and also we lift her up in prayer and continue
• 3:33
  to watch over her and ask the good Lord to continue to keep her safe and also
• 3:37
  to strengthen her each every moment.
• 3:41
  Half Faith Let It Begin is a show designed for you, The Daily Commuter.
• 3:45
  And we reach out to every single person each week because we want you to know
• 3:50
  that you are always welcome here at the table.
• 3:53
  And the reason why I say it that way is because I've reached out to another
• 3:57
  YouTuber slash podcaster now, and her name is Jodi.
• 4:01
  I didn't get permission to use her last name, so I'm just going to use her first name.
• 4:04
  She's got an amazing podcast. It's regarding, well
• 4:08
  I don't want to tell you just yet because she's
• 4:11
  going to be coming on our platform to discuss it so be
• 4:14
  on the lookout for a guest appearance from a
• 4:17
  young lady named Jodi this and that's coming up
• 4:19
  very very quickly this week we're going to have Nick back on our show and he's
• 4:24
  going to give two episodes one will air this week one will air next week so
• 4:30
  we'll be actually recording I believe Wednesday at 5 30 5 o'clock is something
• 4:35
  like that and so there's a lot of great things coming up.
• 4:38
  If you would like to be a part of our show and you would like to share a personal
• 4:42
  testimony or a hot topic or a motivational topic, please, by all means,

• 4:52
  We're also lifting up in prayer our good friend Harold, who reached out to us
• 4:55
  over the week with a text message.
• 4:57
  Harold, we are praying for you, my good friend, and hoping that each day goes better and better.
• 5:03
  What is today's episode really all
• 5:04
  about? Well, you know, as we are in the moment of Lent and Lent series,
• 5:09
  we want to remind each and every one of you that every single day that we are
• 5:14
  on this world and this planet, each day is not.
• 5:18
  Guaranteed. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. We cannot predict it.
• 5:22
  We can't explain it. But what we can do is provide the love, the compassion,
• 5:29
  the desire, the wisdom that our good Lord and Savior has permitted us and has
• 5:35
  put in our hearts to shine to others.
• 5:39
  Many of you that are seeking the Lord, many of you that have found the Lord
• 5:43
  know the glow that I'm speaking about.
• 5:45
  Now, for those of you that are listening to us for the first time,
• 5:48
  or maybe are encouraged by the good word and the good Lord above,
• 5:52
  maybe you're saying to yourself, hmm, where do I go from here?
• 5:56
  What do I do to become closer to the Lord?
• 5:59
  Well, if you're listening to this show, you're already one step ahead.
• 6:02
  If you take a few seconds, a few minutes of your time each morning,
• 6:06
  you are already on the right track.
• 6:08
  If you allow the Lord to accept, and well, if you accept the Lord and Savior
• 6:12
  into your heart and you allow the Lord to speak through you and allow the Lord
• 6:16
  to speak his words to you and you hear his words and you say, thank you, God.
• 6:22
  Or if you say, listen, you know what? I'm going to pray for somebody.
• 6:25
  I'm going to do one random act of kindness. You are on the right track.
• 6:29
  I want you to know that God loves you. God has his best interest and his love
• 6:34
  for you is so bigger than anything you'll ever imagine.
• 6:39
  If you're a parent who loves their child, If you're a parent that has children,
• 6:44
  if you're a pet owner, if you're a person that has felt the love of another
• 6:49
  person, multiply that by 1 million and you'll just become one fraction of what
• 6:55
  the love that God has for you.
• 6:57
  That's how much love he has for us. And that's how much he loves you.
• 7:02
  Continue to sing his songs. Continue to pray with him. Continue to say the words that he taught us.
• 7:09
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 7:13
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 7:19
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
• 7:26
  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom,
• 7:31
  the power, and the glory forever and ever.
• 7:34
  Amen. May the Lord bless you. May the Lord keep you.
• 7:38
  May the Lord bless his face and shine his glow and place his hands upon you
• 7:45
  and grant each and every single one of us peace on earth.
• 7:51
