  We're going to start right now. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 1:34
  I'm hoping that you will enjoy today's episode. We have a brand new microphone.
• 1:38
  It's associated with our account, so I'm excited about using it.
• 1:42
  So it's the first time I get to use it while I'm in the car. It's a lapel mic.
• 1:45
  So if you hear a couple of feedbacks, we're working on that.
• 1:48
  And if it's a little too loud, I apologize.
• 1:50
  I set it to just one decibel. So we'll see as we go.
• 1:55
  So we're here live, and we're doing an episode today. It's Wednesday,
• 2:00
  and it's, of course, July 23rd, 2025.
• 2:04
  Yesterday, we were supposed to do an episode with the Kroc Podcast.
• 2:07
  A lot of technical difficulties with the microphone, and we'll get that going
• 2:12
  as well, and also having Dr.
• 2:14
  E back on a Monday episode as well.
• 2:17
  Well, let me pull up my window a little bit because we've got some feedback here from the outside.
• 2:21
  Today's episode is another edition of Dear God.
• 2:25
  Dear God, we know that tomorrow is not guaranteed, today is not even promised.
• 2:32
  What we do know, Lord, is that every single time I think about where my life is headed, I smile.
• 2:41
  Today's message is not just from you, the fans, it's from myself included.
• 2:48
  So the past couple of weeks, we have endured a lot of setbacks,
• 2:53
  a lot of negativity, a lot of things happening with the Lord,
• 2:59
  and I'm sorry, not with the Lord, but with things that are happening outside of my comfort zone.
• 3:05
  And what I thought was really interesting was as close as I get to God in ministry
• 3:12
  school and in doing sermons, the attacks just keep coming.
• 3:17
  And sometimes if you're not ready for them, you can literally almost lose your mind.
• 3:23
  And for me, it was like, wow, what is going on? How much can I endure?
• 3:28
  How much struggle I was having? And finally, you know, after doing the Lord's
• 3:34
  Prayer and just doing everything I can to avoid all that was happening to us,
• 3:40
  my vehicles were all breaking down.
• 3:43
  I had trouble with our technology.
• 3:46
  I had some problems with, you know, at home. My kids got sick.
• 3:51
  It just, the bills were packing up.
• 3:55
  Yeah, you know, and it was so easy to sit back and go, okay,
• 3:59
  that's it. I'm a little overwhelmed.
• 4:01
  Let me take a break. And that's what I did. I took a mental break.
• 4:04
  I took a few minutes and said, okay, let me just concentrate on God.
• 4:10
  Let me concentrate on my faith.
• 4:13
  Let me concentrate on the positive in my life.
• 4:16
  And that's what I did. Once I concentrated on
• 4:19
  all the good that was happening Once I concentrated on
• 4:23
  everything that I knew In my power Was in my control That's when everything
• 4:29
  started to switch That's when everything started to go in our favor So I say
• 4:34
  this to you Even though today is dear God You know letter 11 And I don't have
• 4:39
  many prayers that came in,
• 4:41
  From you, the audience, my prayer for each and every one of you is that you
• 4:46
  feel comfortable, you feel safe, you feel determined,
• 4:52
  you feel that and you know that God is with you, that God believes in you,
• 4:56
  that God trusts you, that God is never going to leave your side.
• 4:59
  For some of us It's a hard pill to swallow For some of us That have prayed to
• 5:05
  God And have felt that maybe they are Distant from Him Or maybe you feel as
• 5:11
  if God doesn't answer your prayers Or doesn't listen to your prayers.
• 5:14
  Trust and believe I know what that feels like I know What that makes you think
• 5:21
  But I'm telling you He does He does listen to your prayers He does answer prayers
• 5:27
  You just have to have patience in prayer.
• 5:31
  You have to understand that God is always with you and has never left your side. Never will.
• 5:39
  I promise you that. He will always be with you.
• 5:43

• 5:49
  You have to believe that and know that God is right there with you because he hasn't left.
• 5:55
