- 2:48Thank you, our heavenly father, Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior for being
- 2:52there for Clinton, for Maria, for the family.
- 2:56We are so honored and blessed to know that he is doing better and the surgery was successful.
- 3:02A great way to honor the doctors and nurses that are treating him and the surgeons. Great job.
- 3:08Thank you, Lord, for having them be vessels and servants to you.
- 3:12And thank you for giving them the gifts and talents to be able to take care of Clinton.
- 3:16We can't wait to talk to you, buddy. And we're praying and thinking about you each and every day.
- 3:21Today is a very, very special day for Carol. As many of you know,
- 3:24she's also been on our show.
- 3:26And just recently, we lost a dear friend to our family here at Have Faith.
- 3:30Her husband, Dennis, has been called on by the Lord.
- 3:33And today is her anniversary. It would be your anniversary with Dennis.
- 3:36And we want to honor and say thank you, Lord, for having Dennis be a part of Carol's life.
- 3:41We want to thank Carol for always keeping us in tune as to what's going on in
- 3:47her life. And we want Carol to know that she is a huge part of this family.
- 3:51We love her and we are with you. And if you need anything, you know my phone
- 3:56number, you know my cell, you know my email, my instant messenger, please reach out to me.
- 4:00And that also goes for every single one of you out there.

- 4:07and it goes right to my cell phone.
- 4:08But you can text me directly as well, 845-391-2312.
- 4:13That is a dedicated line for all of the Have Faith, Let It Begin family members, a direct line to me.
- 4:19In addition, we want to play, we want to definitely lift up in prayer a young
- 4:23lady who reached out to me.
- 4:24Her name is Sue and her friend, Rose, who was in her final battle with stage four breast cancer.
- 4:30Let us pray for that. Heavenly Father, we know that sometimes we cannot prevent the inevitable.
- 4:38We know that when you are calling us home, it is the call that many of us,
- 4:44to a certain degree, are a little nervous about, but our
- 4:47faith will tell us that when the
- 4:49call is made and the gates are opened and the trumpet sounds we will be home
- 4:55and there'll be a celebration in heaven as we welcome another angel home we
- 5:00pray that rose peacefully is called home that she does not suffer that she.
- 5:08Spends her final time with her family, that she understands that we love her
- 5:12here on earth and that there's so many of those are waiting to bring her and welcome her home.
- 5:17We ask you to make this transition so easy for her in your precious name.
- 5:22We also pray for Sue and the family of Rose and thank you for reaching out and
- 5:27trusting in us to pray for her this morning, but we pray for you as well.
- 5:31This is not gonna be easy for you either. And we will extend a welcome for her
- 5:35to call me if you have any questions or if you want to pray privately,
- 5:38I'd be more than happy to do that with you. We lift up in prayer, Jodi Nicoli.
- 5:43She reached out to me. She runs a successful podcast and a program.
- 5:47I'm going to keep that, you know, under wraps until I speak with her because
- 5:51she's going to be coming on our show and giving us an amazing insight as to
- 5:56what she's doing for her community locally.

- 6:02also for us to have her on our platform
