1:15
moving story and book, the Word There Is No Other Way, How Faith
1:22
restored a woman's broken spirit. Please join me in welcoming to Vox Novs,
1:29
Tamiko Paul. Welcome, Tamiko, Thank you so much for having me.
1:34
Tamika, what inspired you to write the word there Is No Other Way?
1:40
And how did your personal journey influence the message of this book. The Almighty
1:46
Father himself and asked me to put this in a book. And he felt
1:52
that my journey, what I dealt with, what I went through in my
1:56
life, could help others show them that they are not alone. To help
2:02
let people know that there is a healing, there is hope of a better
2:08
tomorrow because of what you're going through, there is an ending to it.
2:15
And to show once again that you are not alone. He is real.
2:23
And what's beautiful, including your message and everything that you share and your amazing
2:30
story, is the fact that you incorporate a style of both prose and a
2:35
form of poetry. Tell us about that style. Everybody learns a little different.
2:45
Some people get things through music, some people get things through poetry,
2:51
and some people just get it. And just to show different ways of hearing
2:59
that message and seeing about the message. It just keeps the Lord, his
3:06
name, his meaning upfront in your mind. And there is poetry in my
3:13
book, and it's just another way to speak to you, to share that
3:20
it's a rhythm, you know, and how we live our lives. You
3:23
know the things that we see. You know that the old saying if you've
3:27
probably heard this, why is it your life is always better understood backwards?
3:34
And as a kid, it was like, what what does that mean?
3:38
But as we go older, a lot of the things that our parents have
3:44
said, it's like, oh, I get it, I get it.
3:46
I see what they're talking about. And you know, when you look back,
3:51
you're saying, wow, if I knew then what I know now.
3:57
And just sharing the stories that are in there, these are things that have
4:01
happened to me and the way I look at things now, it shows that
4:10
in order to get the meaning out of it, instead of looking at the
4:13
negativity, look for the silver lining. What did I learn in that one?
4:20
How to treat other people, how to put down the negativity and keep
4:29
my heart cure to being nice and kind and honest. Because of the stories
4:36
in there, it shows that being ugly is not the way, and it
4:42
keeps you smothered inugly to where you cannot have that beautiful life of being happy
4:49
and looking forward to the next day and the peace of mind. So in
4:57
these stories that he has asked me to put in there, they are hurtful,
5:01
they are ugly, but it shows where my smile came from and where
5:09
I am today. Please share with us the pivotal moment in nineteen ninety one
5:15
that inspired the themes of resilience and faith that you explore in this wonderful book.
5:24
Oh my goodness. The accident when I died. I it was a
5:30
typical morning. I woke up. My friend called me and said, I
5:33
saw your car was dirty, which it always was, or is he does
5:40
follow me to the car wash, and I said, okay, sure,
5:43
So I got up, I showered and put on my jeans, my sweatshirt,
5:46
my tinnies, ponytail, put my hair in a ponytail, and I
5:50
got my car and drove met him at the car wash. Everything is as
5:57
usual, And jumping straight to it, I was in an accident and I
6:03
got on the back of a bike and I flew off of it because this
6:11
person that I was hurt by was under narcotics and drunk, and I flew
6:18
up in the air like a torpedo and landed on my head. And an
6:24
officer walked out of the liquor store and he said he saw it. Is
6:29
what he wrote on the police report, and he said she flew straight up
6:32
in the air and flew straight down and landed on her head. He drew
6:38
a picture of it, and in that process of what happened to me,
6:44
I cracked my head open, I broke my neck, I bruised my heart,
6:48
I broke my ribs. My peppet was crushed, my ankles were sprained,
6:55
and my body was scarred from face to feet. And then the bike
7:01
caught me and threw me down the street another hundred and as I went,
7:10
the body just slid and I had rubble and dirt and everything under my skin.
7:16
And the Lord came. He picked me up before one here touched the
7:23
earth, and he held me in his right hand. And I looked at
7:30
him, and I said, what is he looking at? And I just
7:34
knew who he was? No questions asked. I knew who he was.
7:42
And I just looked at him again. And I didn't know who the body
7:48
belonged to. I didn't know that was me, and he gave me this
7:51
knowing and he says, that's you. And I looked at it, and
7:58
as I heard and saw the people making these noises like, oh, oh
8:07
my gosh, did you say that? What? Just all these different sounds
8:13
of people seeing what was going on with my body, And as he helped
8:20
me in his hand. I didn't feel a thing. I noticed other things
8:26
that I didn't feel. I didn't feel the breeze. I didn't feel the
8:33
normal things that you do in a body, like you would feel the breeze,
8:37
petch your skin, the heat from the sun. It was it was
8:43
a different place. It truly was a different place. And then I saw
8:50
the ambulance pull up and I watched a man and a woman run over to
8:54
the to my body and they they put this thing around my neck and they
9:05
said don't over, don't mover as they were putting me on the gurney,
9:11
and they jumped back on the ambulance as they were pulling me on there.
9:18
And the next thing I know, I was at the hospital. As they
9:22
were pulling me off, I saw the doors open as they were rolling me
9:28
in, I saw my family, and I saw all the doctors running towards
9:33
me. And as I looked at me, I saw the blood following me
9:37
on the floor as I heard stand, stand, stand, and I'm looking
9:46
at people in shock as they look at me, and I noticed how big
9:50
my head was. It was the size of a watermelon. And the next
9:56
thing I know, I was in a room in er and my Auntie walked
10:01
in and she says, oh, meeky. She says, you still have
10:07
your beautiful face. You're gonna be fine. As I was hooped up to
10:13
all those tubes and my mother couldn't take it. She fell to the floor.
10:20
They had to take her out of the room, and my father came
10:28
in. He was just in, oh my baby. And I left.
10:41
I wasn't in the body, and I was having conversations with father, and
10:46
I said, you have me take me home. The conversation was very short,
11:00
and I fought him. I fought him. I said, I don't
11:03
want to go. I don't I don't want to go back in that body.
11:05
I don't want to go. There are things, there are things that
11:11
happened there that that just are not nice. I don't want to go back.
11:16
I don't want to go back. So this was a debate or an
11:20
argument or whatever you want to call it, that I was having with father.
11:24
I kept saying, no, no, So here it is. I
11:33
woke up after after you know, months, I would I would look around
11:41
and then I'd go back, and I would still argue, I don't want
11:43
to go, I don't want to go. Take me home to let me
11:48
stay. I'm better here, let me stay, and he says no.
11:56
So as you see, he wants I'm back here. And I was angry
12:03
because as I was being discharged from the hospital, well before I was being
12:07
discharged from the hospital, I was dealing with doctors that were doing sexual things
12:11
to me. I dealt with nurses and nurse aids stealing my gifts. One
12:22
nurse didn't read my report at the bed at the end of my bed,
12:26
and she pulls me out of the bed and tries to make me walk when
12:31
it says I couldn't walk, and I fell to the floor and all the
12:35
doctors and the nurses ran. She's not supposed to walk, she's not supposed
12:39
to walk, and they put me in a wheelchair and put me back in
12:43
my bed. She couldn't speak the language. It's what I heard. And
12:50
another incident was this young nurse. She or nurse aid. I kept saying
12:58
I wanted a bat because I love water. I love water. I want
13:01
a bath. I want a bath, so I argued, and so they
13:07
put me in the bathtub. It was no water really in it. It
13:09
wasn't that deep, and they put me in the bath and I was okay
13:13
with that, and the nurse says, I'll be right back. Protocol,
13:20
you're not supposed to leave a patient in a bath with water by themselves.
13:26
But she left me to go steal my gifts. She liked the glass rings
13:33
that a friend of mine had gotten me, because when I woke up from
13:37
that coma, I looked at my hands. He goes, oh, she's
13:43
looking for her rings. So he went to the store and bought me some
13:48
glass rings. And that nurse aid wanted my rings. So she told me
13:54
before I could have the bath, I had to take them off. I
13:56
said no, She says, no, you have to because they'll get damaged.
14:00
She says, they'll be right here when you get back. So when
14:03
I got back, I looked in the little drawer and I said they're gone.
14:07
And I told on her and she got in trouble, so she yelled
14:13
at me. But as I was leaving the hospital, but bye, law,
14:20
they're supposed to put you in a wheelchair. And the doctor, he
14:24
was a beautiful doctor. He heard my cries and I told him I couldn't
14:28
speak that well. And I told him, I said, they're hurting me
14:31
here. They're doing things to me. Here, this one doctor. Because
14:37
I had cracked my head open, I couldn't hear out of my right ear
14:41
because they hadn't cleaned it. So he took a metal object and stuck it
14:48
in my ear and dug in my ear and all herd was grinding, and
14:52
I shook and I screamed, and he says, don't move, don't move,
14:56
or I'm going to puncture your ear drum. So I just lay there
15:01
and as I did that, he stroked my arms with his privates. And
15:09
so I told and the only thing they wanted to say was, oh,
15:15
you know, she's not in her right mind. She's not in her right
15:16
mind. She's this, she's that. So I was ignored. So it
15:20
was all these little things they were doing to me, and I kept telling
15:24
them. But doctor Caswanee listened. Oh how he listened to me. Even
15:28
though I didn't I couldn't speak right. I spoke backwards. He still listened
15:35
to me, and he understood some way. He understood me. So they
15:39
moved me to another room and I was being released from that hospital and the
15:48
mainest man was mopping the floor outside my room. And as I came out,
15:56
the nurse before I came out, excuse me. The nurse came in
16:00
as my relative was signing papers for me at the desk. The nurse came
16:06
in and gave me crutches. No, I wasn't supposed to walk. She
16:12
gave me crutches, and the maintenance man was mopping the floor. I'm pretty
16:15
sure you could figure it out. I came out of the room. I
16:19
wasn't in my right mind yet. I couldn't speak, I couldn't understand things.
16:25
And I came out and I slipped on that floor. And when I
16:30
hit that floor, everybody saw it and I went splat, which messed up
16:37
the healing of my pelvic my ribs, and now I am like a candy
16:47
cane twisted one leg longer than the other. My spine is just not in
16:55
the s shape that it should be, and left me with migraines, pain
17:03
suffering. I begged for surgery, I begged, I baked. Somebody fixed
17:08
me. I was mad at the Almighty once again. So here it is.
17:15
As days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months and months.
17:19
In the years, being fired from my jobs for no reasons, people picking
17:26
on me being sexually you know, said, you know, people just oh,
17:37
here's a loss for words. You know, you know, hitting on
17:40
me, should I say? People with racism, picking on me, people
17:45
stealing from me, all these things on my jobs, being fired. You
17:51
know, I'm upset over being picked on in school because of jealous girls.
17:56
You know, looking different, a redhead, freckles. Yes, girls,
18:00
you know can't accept somebody different. So let's beat her up. Let's put
18:06
gum in her hair, Let's put gum in her seats. All these different
18:08
things that I went through in life. I was so upset with the Almighty
18:15
and I kept saying, he's not listening to me, he doesn't hear me.
18:19
I'm back here and I'm suffering. Look what's happened. Look what's happened
18:23
to me? And I cried because it was killing me, and I just
18:30
couldn't take it anymore. And then one day the Lord spoke to me.
18:41
I laid in bed, my husband left for work, and I was so
18:47
angry. Where were you? Where were you? I was so angry,
18:51
Where were you? I kept crying for you? Where were you? And
18:57
pieces you're not ready, so we will speak again. So just as quickly
19:04
as he came in my room, he left. And then a couple of
19:10
years later, we moved to another house and he came and saw me again,
19:17
and I laid in my bed and I cried. My color turned into
19:22
a sponge, just soggy and wet, and I cried, and he says
19:29
I was there. And I said, but I'm suffering, father, for
19:36
you do not know what I have been through. You do not know what
19:41
they have done to me. I'm in pain. I'm suffering. He goes,
19:45
I know. He says, I was there. He says, in
19:52
all is forgiven from northeast, south and west. I said, but father,
19:59
you do not I know what I have done. He says, to
20:03
migo, I know everything, from beginning to end. You are forgiven.
20:15
And I lay there and I just cried. These tears I cry are not
20:21
from pain anymore. They are from him taking all of that away from me.
20:30
He has shown me that he was there. So as we were our
20:37
conversation was coming to an end, I said, God, bless you.
20:42
And I said, oh, I can't say that, because you are you.
20:48
And we laughed, and I tell you, those seconds felt like hours.
20:56
We just laughed. And the next morning, as I got up to
21:02
feed my kiddies and my bunnies. I was walking my way to the kitchen
21:08
and he stopped me in the living room and he says, to me,
21:15
go and I stopped and I looked around and I kept looking. I hear
21:22
this voice and I was looking around. He says, I am everywhere.
21:27
And I said, okay. He says I was there. He says,
21:37
can you not think on your own? I said yes, can you not
21:42
walk on your own? I said yes. He says I was there.
21:55
And I cried. I cried and I said I didn't look at it like
22:03
that. I did not look at it like that. And he says,
22:11
I would like to ask something of you. I said, okay. I
22:21
said, why me. You were chosen before you were born. I said,
22:29
what is it you ask of me? And he says, to me,
22:33
speak my name. Tell them I have spoken to you and you have
22:41
seen me. So I am so blessed to be here to share my stories
22:49
to hopefully help anyone that feels alone. Excuse me my worst failures and my
23:00
disappointments. Father provided for me. Father healed my wounds when I felt lonely.
23:14
He was there with me, and his faithfulness, with my faithfulness,
23:23
is where I hope By sharing all of this that this can help others and
23:33
help them get through whatever it is that they're going through to know that they
23:37
are not alone. The Lord is so real. He is so real.
23:48
He is the air that we breathe through our nose. He is the water
23:53
that falls from the heavens that feeds the earth. He is the grain we
24:00
walk upon. He is life. He is life, He is an immovable
24:11
foundation. He is the walk, the Truth, the Almighty. He is
24:19
my father, and I'm sharing with you what he has done for me.

27:15
I'm Sandy Sedgeby, a host of Home Times Magazine's flagship radio show What
27:21
Is Going On? My passion is sifting through information, research and innovations from
27:26
new thought teachers, speakers and researchers, pushing back the boundaries of what we
27:30
know about life, energy, metaphysics, and the universe. I love shifting
27:36
perceptions about who we are, why we're here, and how quickly impossible becomes
27:41
normal when we open our minds, expand our awareness, and accept that the
27:45
only limits that exist are those we place upon ourselves. So, if you're
27:48
the kind of forward thinking, eager investigator of what lies beyond the current reality
27:53
that most perceive, why not make a date to come play with me in
27:57
the Field of Possibilities four pm Pacific time, seven pm Eastern Time every Thursday,
28:03
and together we can discover what's very going on. Back on Vox Novus,
28:11
my guest this week is Tamiko Powell. Her book is called The Word
28:15
There Is No other way. Telliko, in your opinion, what is the
28:22
significance of divine truth and how may readers incorporate that into their daily lives.
28:30
I would say the divine truth is following the word. If you truly do
28:37
love me, follow my word. The Lord is just asking to treat one
28:45
another the way you would like to be treated, truth, honesty, compassion.
28:56
You know, when you follow the Tea commandments, do not say his
29:00
name in vain, do not lie, do not cheat, do not covet
29:06
You know the ten Commandments what he leaves here for us to hopefully follow.
29:12
But we have free will, so it's your choice if you wish to follow
29:18
those or not. It is your choice. But when you do, things
29:23
become better. Things just become a lot better. And with myself, I
29:30
do. I do them the Ten Commandments, and it brings me peace.
29:37
It just brings me a better way of living. It makes me a better
29:42
person because it is his way, not mine, and that's what I wish
29:52
to go by, because the Ten Commandments were written not as in law,
30:00
but it was direction for us to have a better way. Because when you
30:07
live outside of it, bad things happen, Other things happen, and nobody
30:12
likes to be treated badly, So do unto others as you shall have them
30:18
do unto you as we shared. Found in virtually every faith around the world
30:25
is a form of that golden rule. And if everyone did that, when
30:29
a wonderful world. This would be yes. As I also shared with you.
30:36
I had a wonderful spiritual teacher who used to say, there should be
30:38
an the eleventh commandment, thou shalt have purpose. And I believe that you
30:45
have found your purpose in the sharing that you're doing. Thank you, yes,
30:51
thank you? Will you share with us? Another example from the book
30:55
where faith played a crucial role in transforming a child situation into an opportunity for
31:02
growth. Oh, this goes back to when I was a little girl.
31:07
I was I was in first grade, second grade, and we used to
31:15
go over and do a dance with the teacher over in the auditorium, and
31:26
we just had church. It was Monday, and I went in and I
31:33
had big my mother. I said, I want to wear my Mary Janes.
31:38
I want to wear my Mary Jane's. And she says, all right.
31:44
So I was so excited. Okay, I nagged my mother, I'm
31:47
putting on these Mary janes. I put them on. I went to school
31:49
and they were all so shiny, so crisp, so new, and we
31:55
were going over to the auditorium to do our little dance and the teacher says,
32:04
as we all stood in the c shape, tell me Coo, you
32:09
can either take off the shoes and dance in your socks, or you can
32:15
go sit down. And I said, well, my mother wouldn't want me
32:22
to dance around in my brand new socks. And she says, you have
32:27
a choice. You can go and have a seat, or you can dance
32:31
in your socks. I said, okay, well then I'll go sit down,
32:36
and all the other students said, ooh, she told her, she
32:39
told you. And I'm walking over to the seat, and the teacher walked
32:45
over and grabbed my arm and she just rattled it, snatched it, and
32:51
she says, I'm taking you to the front office. You don't talk to
32:54
teachers like that. And I'm thinking through my mind, what did I do?
32:59
You gave me options. I took the option to sit down, So
33:04
as I'm being rushed to the principal's office, she took me to the back
33:10
of the office and she pulled out a bar soap, and she says,
33:15
open your mouth. I said, no, I'm not doing that, and
33:20
I said, call my daddy, Call my daddy, and so here it
33:25
is. The secretary spoke with the head priest and he called my father,
33:32
and my father basically told them you send my daughter back to class. So
33:42
as I was hearing this conversation going on between the head priest, I heard
33:47
my family coming up, my siblings and they said no, no, no,
33:54
you're not going to put any soap in my sister's mouth. And next
34:00
thing you know, the hit priest walked out and says take her back to
34:05
her class. Let them go back to their class. So as I'm standing
34:08
there and I'm smiling with joy, thinking, wow, wow, I did
34:17
the right thing. Oh, I forgot a spot. I'm so sorry that
34:22
my father had asked the hit priest let me speak to my daughter. And
34:28
my daughter and my father said, what did the teacher say? And I
34:34
told him. He says, hand back, hand the phone back to the
34:38
hit priest. So I did, and that is when he says, send
34:43
them back to her room. Because I told the truth, and the truth
34:49
set me free. And we giggled and we laughed as we skipped down the
34:55
hallway back to our classes. Is when I learned, at a young age
35:01
tell the truth. So in the first story in my book, it was
35:08
about when I was in in that first grade, second grade, how we
35:15
would go over to the auditorium and we would do our dances, and the
35:20
teacher, for some reason, she felt embarrassed. How can a child make
35:24
me feel like this? And I'm the authority, I'm the teacher. But
35:30
I stuck with the truth. She gave me an auction. You can either
35:34
dance in your white sox or you can go sit down. I said,
35:37
I'll go sit down. I didn't do anything wrong. So she decided she
35:42
was going to wrench my mouth out with soap because all the other students said
35:45
ooh, and she didn't like how that felt. So that is what I'd
35:52
like to share. When he first stepped of knowing him, knowing the Almighty
35:58
my father, that is the best way to go. The truth shall set
36:04
you free, and that's what I believe. Can you share any insights or
36:09
revelations that you discovered during the writing of this book that you didn't anticipate beforehand.
36:15
Oh, I was very upset with father and I had thoughts that went
36:22
through my mind. My favorite one is John ten ten until it overflows the
36:31
joy what he's done for me. He loves me unconditionally. The love he
36:38
has for me, there are no words that can truly share his love is.
36:47
It's something I It goes to a feeling, it goes to a comfort,
36:55
it goes to a knowing, it goes to the gifts he has given
37:00
me from that accident, the things that I know, the things that I've
37:06
seen, the things that I've experienced. And when I was going through all
37:12
these bad things in my life on my journey and in my journey, the
37:17
cruel things that people can do are just They're just wrong. And how it
37:27
can beat someone down and make them feel less than nothing, to make them
37:32
feel like they don't have a purpose or lonely and just sick with grief.
37:43
And when I was going through all these things, when the devil he is
37:47
real and he is the ugliest thing. And when he spoke to me and
37:54
told me he didn't like me, and I my response back to him was
37:58
I don't like you either. I am with the Lord. And he found
38:06
humor in all of my pain. So now how I fight that back is
38:10
with John Tinton and with the Lord. I speak to the Lord stand behind
38:16
me. Is what I tell that Satan and any bad thoughts that come in
38:22
my mind. I just sing about the Lord. I just say the Lord,
38:27
the Lord, the Lord, the Lord. The Lord is with me.
38:30
How do you balance the vulnerability of sharing your personal journey with the need
38:37
to inspire and uplift your readers. Jesus has power over Satan and power to
38:45
save us. We face spiritual battle against force of evil every day. I
38:53
know I do, and with the Almighty. We do not need to fear
39:00
Satan or evil spirits. We need to depend on the Lord's strength and our
39:07
spiritual struggles. The one who is in you is greater than the one who
39:15
is in the world. When Jesus was hung on that cross, when we
39:22
did that, some of his disciples said, well, if you're not with
39:30
us, then who will we talk to? Who do we go to?
39:37
And Jesus says, I will be with you. I will be with all
39:40
of you because the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The
39:47
Holy Spirit is with us. So if you have a question and you're in
39:53
a predicament, you'll hear a little voice ask and you shall receive, seek
40:04
and you shall find knock and the door shall open. Believe, and this
40:12
is what I do. I stick to my belief. And now since I
40:19
know, oh, no questions asked, because in the beginning I had that
40:25
little doubt because of everything I went through. I kept saying where were you?
40:30
Where were you? And I did not think he was hearing me.
40:36
But in my death, literally in my death, he came to me.
40:45
And after he he brought me back. And in Romans nine fifteen eighteen,
40:54
he raised me up for this very purpose, to display his power. So
41:01
he raised me up. So I am sharing this with you. Believe.
41:09
Don't be embarrassed. Just ask what I gonna said before, and you shall
41:15
receive, seek and you shall find knock, and that door shall open.
41:22
It did for me. He loves you. Just know that he loves you,
41:28
and you had specific conversations with him. But what about those who need
41:32
signs, and you know haven't been in that situation that you were in?
41:37
What sign should they be looking for? Open your mind, because he speaks
41:42
through others. It could be a bird, It could be your keidy cat,
41:49
your dog, It could be why you sleep, it could be it
41:57
could be through anything, because we're talking about the anything and everything is possible.

44:37
I can find humor in almost anything, but one thing I never laugh about.
44:39
It is cruelty to animals. If you don't get the joke either,
44:43
right, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals five on one Front Street in
44:46
Norfolk, Virginia two three five one oh back on box Novus. My guest
44:52
this week to Miko Paul. Her book is called The Word. There is
44:57
no other way. What role do you believe forgiveness plays and the process of
45:02
healing and spiritual renewal. Spiritual renewal is go to him and just let it
45:15
all out, because as he told me, I know everything from beginning to
45:23
end. Humble yourself and go to him, because if you truly do love
45:32
him, follow his word, follow his word. That's all I can basically
45:40
share. And what do you say about those who have done egregious and terrible
45:46
and horrible things to you and to others? How do you forgive that?
45:52
Because Father told me, he says, to Miko, live your life.
45:59
He says, vengeance is mine. He says, I have seen it,
46:05
I heard it, I know it, I saw when it was done.
46:13
And he tells me vengeance is mine. So it is not for me to
46:19
go out and slap you in your face and get my you know my,
46:22
oh my gosh. I'm going to get you back for this. I'm going
46:24
to punch you in the face. That's for that one little second. That's
46:30
for that one little moment. But he will have you for eternity. So
46:36
there's a difference. I'm not going to let that weight on me of being
46:42
upset, because that means that that person is stealing my joy. They're still
46:47
controlling me. So I'm not going to let them take another moment of my
46:52
day, another second of my life. I'm going to enjoy it and laughing,
47:02
giggle because the angels love to hear us giggle, they love to hear
47:07
us laugh. So I'm going to go and do that and live my life
47:12
to the fullest and tell it overflows and that the Lord, as he has
47:17
said and has told me, vengeance is mine. So I'm going to let
47:22
him take care of it. How do they incorporate spiritual practices such as prayer,
47:29
meditation, or reflection into your daily routine, and how have they contributed
47:35
to your journey of healing? So I would say, I'm washing the dishes,
47:43
I'm talking to the Lord, I'm in the baptob. I'm talking to
47:47
the Lord. I have questions I ask. I don't understand. I say,
47:54
hmmm, Father, what do you think about this. I'm driving my
48:00
car. I'm talking to the Lord. He's in my everyday life. He's
48:08
my everything. He is immovable foundation. He is the rock, he is
48:15
the truth. He is my guidance. He's my clear thinking. He keeps
48:22
me away from the stresses I get in an argument. I'm talking to the
48:28
Lord. I pray for this individual, whoever is having this problem, whatever
48:35
it is. I'm talking to the Lord. I dress for the Lord.
48:39
I speak for the Lord. I carry myself as a lady for the Lord,
48:46
and it brings me peace because I do it for him. If someone
48:52
is coming to my house and I answer the door, and I answer it
48:58
and I'm not dressed appropriately, and I asked myself, I said, oh
49:00
my goodness, I said, would this be something the Lord want to see
49:04
me in? Would I be embarrassed if the Lord saw me this? If
49:07
Jesus was standing at my door, I said, oh no, no,
49:10
no, I'm not wearing that. So that's how that's how I practice my
49:16
belief, my love for the Lord. Everything I do, I ask I
49:28
talked to him, and he's right here with me because I want. I
49:34
want to let him see I'm trying to represent and I found his word.
49:45
How do you suggest that readers cultivate a deeper connection with their faith and inner
49:51
selves? As you advocate in your book, this is something that they have
49:59
to go in themselves and find. All I can say is know that you're
50:10
not alone, and he is there. So know that you're not being ignored.
50:19
And these aren't things that are being ignored. He sees it all,
50:24
He hears it all, as he has told me. When he came to
50:30
me in my bedroom and I saw him, and I told myself, father,
50:36
you did not know what I have done. You do not know what
50:38
they have done to me. And he tells me, He says to me,
50:43
go, I have seen it. I have heard it. I know
50:49
this. All is forgiven, is what he did for me. I surrendered.
50:58
And all I can say to you is, if you look for him,
51:06
you shall find. But open your mind and believe he will reach out
51:13
to you. But be patient. Just be patient and continue on believing and
51:22
representing him. If you say you are a follower of him, watch your
51:27
mouth, watch how you carry yourself because actions speak louder than words, and
51:36
this is how I carry myself. So just be patient, follow his word,
51:43
the Ten Commandments, and you will know. How do you see your
51:49
book contributing to the larger conversation about faith, resilience, and personal transformation into
51:58
today's society. In today's society, you know you cannot rewrite the Bible nor
52:07
reinvent the Ten Commandments. It is a fight. It is a struggle,
52:16
and my pain, my suffering, I pull through and now I smile because
52:24
the Almighty is real and I tell myself this every day and it helps me
52:31
through what I go through. When I leave my house, I put on
52:37
my armor and I walk with him, and I look at things different now
52:49
because people react and respond to things because they could be having a hard time
52:53
at home, hard time at work. So people are just quick just to
53:00
respond with an emotion. So what I try to do is use use thinking,
53:07
use my logic, and be calm and look at the situation instead of
53:16
just snapping on whatever is coming before me. So hopefully with my book,
53:23
it would show you some of the things that I've been through, and it
53:29
has made me stronger, It has given me a better understanding. It was
53:37
my awakening that there is more to life than just these little short days that
53:46
just start rolling by. Stop and smell the roses because life will pass you
53:54
by. Enjoy every moment. If you're laughing because something was funny with your
54:01
family, enjoy that moment, enjoy it. Hold hands and just say you
54:07
know what, Let's just sit here and just we don't have to say anything.
54:10
Just enjoy it. Wake up in the morning before you put your feet
54:15
on the floor rolling out of bed, and just say thank you for this
54:22
day. This is what I do. Father, What do you want me
54:27
to do today? What do you want me to do today? Give me
54:31
the strength to pull through the wisdom and experience from faith of my guest,
54:37
Tomiko Poll. Her book is called The Word. There is no other way
54:42
to Miko, please share one more time with our listeners where they can get
54:45

55:00
Once again, my presidential I am stepping four because the Lord has asked
55:07
me to. The Lord needs to be in that oval office, the things
55:10
that are going on, how we are being hurt, we are not being
55:16
listened to, and how we are suffering trying to survive in this world we
55:22
are living in. But once again, we need to come together with unity
55:25
because we cannot do this without each other. I am your mediator. Please
55:35
look me up, write my name in go to Tamiko for President dot com.
55:43
Be a part of what I am trying to do so we can make
55:46
changes. So we can make some changes, because what is happening is just
55:54
not good. Tamiko for President. Amiko, thank you so much for joining
