- 5:04Speaker 1: paths so you can follow along because we want you
- 5:08Speaker 1: to dig even deeper into all the topics that we
- 5:11Speaker 1: go into. This is just to point you in the
- 5:14Speaker 1: right direction. This is just to get your your you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: your throat wet. But it's up to you to die deeper,
- 5:21Speaker 1: get a further revelation. Let the only Spirit speak directly
- 5:26Speaker 1: to you.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Amen.
- 5:31Speaker 1: All right, So now let's let's get real. Let's get
- 5:35Speaker 1: into the topic now. In the world today that is
- 5:40Speaker 1: full of chaos and constant pressure everywhere, there's always pressure
- 5:46Speaker 1: to try to figure things out, you know what I mean.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Letting go can be really or it can feel like
- 5:53Speaker 1: it's real impossible to let go and they let go
- 5:56Speaker 1: of control. But if we want peace, if we want purpose,
- 6:07Speaker 1: if we want direction, it starts with trusting God, trusting
- 6:15Speaker 1: who he is, trusting his word, his character. And we
- 6:20Speaker 1: have to trust God more than we trust ourselves and
- 6:24Speaker 1: love it. This is for me as well. This is
- 6:26Speaker 1: we're doing this together. I'm not preaching at you. I'm
- 6:30Speaker 1: not saying that I'm perfect and I got it all control.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Let's go into the word together so we can apply
- 6:38Speaker 1: what it says.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Amen.
- 6:40Speaker 1: With that, I'm gonna open it up in prayer, so
- 6:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill the music real quick. He any. Father,
- 6:50Speaker 1: we invite you into this moment, open our ears and
- 6:55Speaker 1: our hearts to receive your truth. Father, teach us how
- 6:59Speaker 1: to at least the tight grip we have over our plans,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and help us walk by faith and not by sight.
- 7:10Speaker 1: In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen and Amen.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Come on, it's time to let go of that grip.
- 7:19Speaker 1: It's time to let go of control. Now. The main
- 7:25Speaker 1: scriptures were coming from today is Proverbs chapter three, verse
- 7:30Speaker 1: five and six. Proverbs three five and six. Trust in
- 7:35Speaker 1: the Lord with all thine heart, and lean out unto
- 7:39Speaker 1: thine own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him, and
- 7:46Speaker 1: he shall direct thy path. Amen. Proverbs five, three, five
- 7:53Speaker 1: and six. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
- 7:57Speaker 1: lean out unto thine own understanding, and all thy ways
- 8:02Speaker 1: acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path. That is
- 8:08Speaker 1: a good scripture. That is like the job three point
- 8:14Speaker 1: sixteen in the Old Testament. Now let's break you down
- 8:19Speaker 1: and get it into our spirits today and get it
- 8:21Speaker 1: into our hearts. Now, this isn't a halfway trust at all.
- 8:30Speaker 1: This scripture is talking about full surrender, trusting God with
- 8:35Speaker 1: all of our hearts, not just some of some of it,
- 8:37Speaker 1: not just a portion, but all of your heart. Means
- 8:41Speaker 1: even when it doesn't make sense, you know what I'm saying,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Even when you feel ain't just even when doors close
- 8:49Speaker 1: in your face, you still believe He's working for your good.
- 8:58Speaker 1: He sees the full picture. He sees more than we
- 9:01Speaker 1: can see. He sees the beginning from the end. He
- 9:03Speaker 1: sees the end from the beginning, and man, we only
- 9:08Speaker 1: see a puzzle piece. So that is a good reason
- 9:15Speaker 1: to trust him. I hope that helps you today because
- 9:17Speaker 1: that just helped me. I ain't gonna lie. He sees
- 9:20Speaker 1: the whole picture. Now. The first point I want to
- 9:25Speaker 1: bring out is why we struggle to let go. Now,
- 9:30Speaker 1: we struggle to let go because we love control. Because
- 9:34Speaker 1: control gives us an illusion let me say that again,
- 9:38Speaker 1: an illusion of security. But trust is I mean, the
- 9:47Speaker 1: truth is control is a heavy burden we weren't meant
- 9:52Speaker 1: to carry. Let me say that again. The truth is
- 9:56Speaker 1: control is a heavy burden that we were never meant
- 10:03Speaker 1: to carry. We micromanage outcomes, We stress over things only
- 10:08Speaker 1: God can handle. We stress over things and we try
- 10:14Speaker 1: to control. And I know I've been in situations where
- 10:17Speaker 1: I've run things over and over again in my mind,
- 10:21Speaker 1: and I absolutely have no control over these things. Now,
- 10:27Speaker 1: Isaiah fifty five A through nine tells us, and I'm
- 10:31Speaker 1: coming from the k KJV for my thoughts are not
- 10:36Speaker 1: your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith. The
- 10:40Speaker 1: Lord's now check the check this out. His thoughts are
- 10:44Speaker 1: not ours, his ways are not even ours. We can't
- 10:47Speaker 1: even begin to understand. He's on a level, you know
- 10:54Speaker 1: how it is sometimes like you have a boss or
- 10:56Speaker 1: CEO or even your parents. Children can't even under stand
- 11:01Speaker 1: the level. They're not even on the same love of
- 11:03Speaker 1: their parents, so they can't even talk the same language.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It's like the same thing with God. God. God doesn't
- 11:10Speaker 1: think like us. That's a good thing, you know what
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm saying. If we could control everything, we'd mess everything up.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Trust means acknowledging. He's smarter than you are, He's smarter
- 11:26Speaker 1: than me, and he is stronger than us. He's far
- 11:32Speaker 1: more loving that we could ever imagine to THEE. So
- 11:38Speaker 1: we need to trust in him, We need to seek
- 11:42Speaker 1: counsel with him. Especially I understand the responsibility of our ministry,
- 11:53Speaker 1: the responsibility of ministry, our organization, his omination. And we're
- 12:00Speaker 1: building our team. I'm so excited that we have a
- 12:03Speaker 1: team that we can all share the burden together of
- 12:08Speaker 1: trusting God, not the burden of control. We can't control anything.
- 12:12Speaker 1: But shout out to my sister Quincy, because I just
- 12:18Speaker 1: went to her for some counsel, some decisions that need
- 12:21Speaker 1: to be made in some directions we need to go
- 12:24Speaker 1: in as an organization. And it is so refreshing and
- 12:27Speaker 1: so awesome to just to have that, just to be
- 12:31Speaker 1: able to know that I don't have to figure it
- 12:33Speaker 1: out myself. I don't have to carry the burden alone.
- 12:36Speaker 1: I don't have to carry the burden at all. But
- 12:39Speaker 1: we are able to bring things before the Throne and
- 12:44Speaker 1: let go of that control.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Amen.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Now my second point is how trust brings peace, and
- 12:54Speaker 1: we get that from Philippias chapter four, verse six through seven.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Philippius four sixty seven. Be careful for nothing, but in everything,
- 13:04Speaker 1: by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, Let your request be
- 13:11Speaker 1: made known unto God, and the peace of God should
- 13:15Speaker 1: keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus a man.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Let me read that again. Be careful for nothing but
- 13:25Speaker 1: in everything. That's all things, every single thing, by prayer
- 13:31Speaker 1: and supplication. Prayer is when we are just communicating, interacting
- 13:36Speaker 1: with God's supplication is when we're praying for someone else
- 13:41Speaker 1: with thanksgivings. Right, we gotta be thankful that God. Whatever
- 13:45Speaker 1: God is gonna do, is gonna be the right thing.
- 13:48Speaker 1: And let your request be made known unto God. Now
- 13:50Speaker 1: it's not like God doesn't know. God knows our thoughts
- 13:54Speaker 1: before we even think him. He knows our thoughts from
- 13:57Speaker 1: afar off. But our responsibilit is to speak it out.
- 14:02Speaker 1: That's why our words are powerful. We need to speak
- 14:05Speaker 1: it out before the throne. Put it in the atmosphere
- 14:10Speaker 1: and the peace of God. Now this is the promise,
- 14:13Speaker 1: the peace of God shall keep your hearts and minds.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a situation where you've been scared,
- 14:21Speaker 1: especially as a young child, something wakes you up. We
- 14:25Speaker 1: all knew, you know, we all saw something in the
- 14:27Speaker 1: closet when we were younger, right, that scared us. But
- 14:30Speaker 1: when our parents come in the room, They come and
- 14:34Speaker 1: sit into bed with us, and they hold us and
- 14:37Speaker 1: they just pray over us or whatever. They hug us.
- 14:41Speaker 1: All of a sudden, there's a calm. There's a peace. Right,
- 14:45Speaker 1: there's a peace. There's a calming. And that's exactly what
- 14:48Speaker 1: God is saying. He says that in the peace of
- 14:55Speaker 1: God shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus,
- 14:58Speaker 1: he wants to keep up.
- 14:59Speaker 2: We're his children.
- 15:01Speaker 1: He wants to keep us in a peaceful place like
- 15:04Speaker 1: we don't have to flip out because we are in
- 15:06Speaker 1: his arms. Amen. If we release that control. Peace is
- 15:13Speaker 1: not the absence of a problem, it's a presence of trust.
- 15:20Speaker 1: We can be in a storm and still rest like
- 15:23Speaker 1: Jesus did, because you know who's in the boat with you. Amen.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Now let's think about a real life application. Then after
- 15:39Speaker 1: that we'll go to a music break. So stick with
- 15:42Speaker 1: us here. We got some great stuff ahead of you.
- 15:45Speaker 1: We got the joke of the day. We're gonna hit
- 15:48Speaker 1: you with some news community shout out, and then I
- 15:54Speaker 1: got some closing thoughts about this topic. But first let's
- 16:04Speaker 1: go to the to the application. Let's go and let's
- 16:14Speaker 1: let go of the outcomes, stop obsessing over the what
- 16:24Speaker 1: IF's in life. You gotta start every day by acknowledging
- 16:29Speaker 1: God through prayer. That's the first step. Worship and the
- 16:33Speaker 1: word right, and we have to engage God. And then
- 16:40Speaker 1: after that we allow him to be the CEO of
- 16:43Speaker 1: our lives. You know, he can run your life way
- 16:46Speaker 1: better than you can. Andy, ma'am. That is a proper order.
- 16:52Speaker 1: That is a proper structure if you think about it,
- 16:57Speaker 1: their structure in every area of life. What do you
- 17:01Speaker 1: really have control over? If you have a job, you
- 17:04Speaker 1: got to report to a boss, and the boss has control.
- 17:09Speaker 1: He can give you an assignment. He can give you
- 17:12Speaker 1: assignment that you hate, you know what I mean, Like,
- 17:15Speaker 1: what can you do over it? When you go to school,
- 17:17Speaker 1: you got to report to a teacher and the teacher
- 17:21Speaker 1: can determine your grade.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Right.
- 17:25Speaker 1: In your government, in your local government, you have a mayor.
- 17:30Speaker 1: You know, you have a police chief, right, and they
- 17:35Speaker 1: can control some things in your life that you know
- 17:38Speaker 1: that are out in your hands. And then we have
- 17:41Speaker 1: a president of the United States. Not to get all political,
- 17:45Speaker 1: but sometimes they don't. People don't have the president that
- 17:49Speaker 1: they want in office, and people go crazy. It's crazy
- 17:55Speaker 1: how we can really go in nowadays on in our country.
- 18:02Speaker 1: And maybe we'll talk about It's not that we're afraid
- 18:04Speaker 1: to dab into the politics because where the God says
- 18:09Speaker 1: something about that has something to say about it. Or
- 18:11Speaker 1: we're just not gonna dive into it today. Maybe in
- 18:14Speaker 1: another day, Well we'll talk about the politics of the day.
- 18:18Speaker 1: But just think about it. Why not allow God to
- 18:21Speaker 1: be the CEO of your life? Hey man, even when
- 18:26Speaker 1: you go shopping, if you shop off of Amazon, there's
- 18:30Speaker 1: still a CEO of Amazon, right, you trust the CEO
- 18:36Speaker 1: of Amazon more than you trust God. Come on, I'm
- 18:41Speaker 1: talking to myself.
- 18:42Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 18:44Speaker 1: See, you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Our job is to be obedient. His job is the results.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Just leave the results to God and let's just focus
- 18:58Speaker 1: on being obedient. Amen. That's why I allowed God to
- 19:03Speaker 1: fight my battles. I've been in many battles where people
- 19:08Speaker 1: have come against me. They've come against my finances, my ministry,
- 19:13Speaker 1: my career, my home, and a guesst what people are
- 19:17Speaker 1: coming against me. Even now as we speak, I see
- 19:20Speaker 1: the attacks. But you know, I got my weight up.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm grown man with it now. You know what I'm saying, like,
- 19:28Speaker 1: come on, let's let's look. It's like, is that all
- 19:30Speaker 1: you got? It's like, you know I'll go and not
- 19:35Speaker 1: kick the hinges off the door now, like, let's do
- 19:38Speaker 1: this because I know who I serve and who I trust. Amen,
- 19:46Speaker 1: all right, let's go to a music break. I got

- 23:29Speaker 1: have games and different things that I would love to
- 23:34Speaker 1: get into your hands, but you gotta win them, and
- 23:39Speaker 1: you gotta go over to the live chat to give
- 23:43Speaker 1: us an answer. So you can be a part of
- 23:45Speaker 1: the community. And that's a live chat on the his
- 23:48Speaker 1: Hop radio app. The community there, that's what we're talking about.

- 24:13Speaker 1: All right, all right, Well, here's the joke.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Here's the joke.
- 24:19Speaker 1: What did Adam say on the first day of Christmas? Now,
- 24:26Speaker 1: I don't want to get into all the stuff. You know,
- 24:28Speaker 1: Christmas is pagan holiday, and you know, we believe in that.
- 24:32Speaker 1: We believe it's pagan, we understand that or whatever, but
- 24:35Speaker 1: we celebrate Jesus anyway. But anyway, this is the joke.
- 24:38Speaker 1: For the sake of the joke, What did Adam say
- 24:44Speaker 1: on the first day of Christmas? All right, I'm gonna
- 24:49Speaker 1: give y'all five seconds to try to guess it, to
- 24:54Speaker 1: try to guess the answer over.
- 24:56Speaker 2: In the life chat.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Now, the story of Adam and Eve in the garden.
- 25:05Speaker 1: We know that they bit the fruit. We don't know
- 25:08Speaker 1: if it was an apple or not. But it was
- 25:10Speaker 1: a forbidden fruit, all right, five four three two and
- 25:21Speaker 1: times up. What did Adam say on the first day
- 25:26Speaker 1: of Christmas? He said, it's Christmas Eve. You get it,
- 25:35Speaker 1: It's Christmas Eve.
- 25:40Speaker 2: All right.
- 25:41Speaker 1: I forgot the disclaimer. You are entering into a corny
- 25:45Speaker 1: joke zone. Corny but funny. Actually, that gave me a
- 25:52Speaker 1: little chuckle. You know, the Bible says that laughter is
- 25:55Speaker 1: medicine for the soul. So let's laugh at all. Well,
- 25:59Speaker 1: let's shake our off, you know what I mean, Let's
- 26:01Speaker 1: laugh at off whatever we're going through, whatever we're dealing
- 26:04Speaker 1: with today. Amen and amen. All right, let's keep it pushing, y'all.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Now it's time for some ch news. In our genre.
- 26:18Speaker 1: We like to mention the different artists that are doing
- 26:22Speaker 1: different things out there so that we can go out
- 26:25Speaker 1: and support them. You know, we've supported the dark side
- 26:30Speaker 1: long enough. Now it's time to come and support the
- 26:34Speaker 1: light side, support the Kingdom. And so I don't see

- 29:57Speaker 1: want to get back into our topic. Let's get back
- 30:04Speaker 1: into the word. We're talking about letting go of control.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Letting go of control. I got one more scriptures for you,
- 30:12Speaker 1: I mean scriptures. I got one more scripture for you
- 30:16Speaker 1: that is Psalms chapter thirty seven, verse five. Psalms Chapter
- 30:23Speaker 1: thirty seven, verse five. Make sure you highlight that, and
- 30:26Speaker 1: it says, commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also
- 30:31Speaker 1: in him, and he shall bring it to pass. Once again,
- 30:37Speaker 1: let's say, commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also
- 30:42Speaker 1: in him, and he shall bring it to pass. You
- 30:51Speaker 1: do not have to bring it to pass. Let me
- 30:54Speaker 1: say that again. It's not your burden, nor do you
- 30:57Speaker 1: have the ability to bring anything to pass. God will
- 31:03Speaker 1: do it, and he promised us this. This is what
- 31:09Speaker 1: he promised, and whatever he promises, he is faithful. He
- 31:13Speaker 1: is not like us. There's many times that I promised
- 31:18Speaker 1: something and I've given my word to something. I promised
- 31:21Speaker 1: my wife time and time again that I would change
- 31:25Speaker 1: my diet, and then all of a sudden, I find
- 31:27Speaker 1: myself falling back, getting a soda or getting eating something
- 31:32Speaker 1: I shouldn't eat. You know, I promise I would get
- 31:34Speaker 1: in shape and stay in the gym, and then all
- 31:37Speaker 1: of a sudden, distractions come up and I'm not able.
- 31:40Speaker 1: It's not like I don't want to, but sometimes we
- 31:42Speaker 1: get distracted. God is not like that. God is faithful
- 31:48Speaker 1: to each and every one of his promises. That is
- 31:53Speaker 1: why we can relinquish control. And I know what it's like.
- 32:02Speaker 1: I know, I've been there. I know when people are disrespectful,
- 32:06Speaker 1: people treat you in a way that you would not
- 32:12Speaker 1: desire them to treat you otherwise. I know how it
- 32:17Speaker 1: is when people can act towards you in a certain way.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I know how it is not to have enough money
- 32:30Speaker 1: in the bank and bills are due. I know how
- 32:34Speaker 1: it is.
- 32:34Speaker 2: And when things go.
- 32:36Speaker 1: On that is out of your control, when people talk
- 32:41Speaker 1: bad about you, and people talk behind your back, when
- 32:45Speaker 1: people think that you're not gonna make it or you're
- 32:51Speaker 1: not gonna be successful, when people say certain things to you,
- 32:58Speaker 1: I know, I know how it is. I know how
- 33:00Speaker 1: it feels. But you know, there's a song I should
- 33:04Speaker 1: have picked it out, but there's a song that says
- 33:05Speaker 1: that he will fight for me and I'll hold my peace.
- 33:11Speaker 1: That's one of my go to songs when I'm in
- 33:15Speaker 1: the midst of the fire and I just wanna say,
- 33:20Speaker 1: let go and let God, let him remember God is
- 33:25Speaker 1: in control. Wow, I just thought of something. Why didn't
- 33:31Speaker 1: I say this earlier? I wanna give a big shout
- 33:34Speaker 1: out to one of the generals. I consider in the kingdom.
- 33:37Speaker 1: My brother got promoted into heaven. But we were new converts.
- 33:43Speaker 1: We were young in our twenties on fire for the Lord.
- 33:47Speaker 1: We used to work together at the horseshoe.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Uh.
- 33:53Speaker 1: He would bring the Bible, I would bring Bible tracks.
- 33:56Speaker 1: We would go witness. We both had a heart for
- 33:58Speaker 1: the Lord, and he taught me the word. He really
- 34:02Speaker 1: showed me how important it was to dig into the Word.
- 34:06Speaker 1: And I will always appreciate him for that. But when
- 34:12Speaker 1: you would call his phone, he would answer with an
- 34:16Speaker 1: answering service. Right, you know, back in the day when
- 34:18Speaker 1: we would put our own voice, our own custom voice
- 34:21Speaker 1: on the voicemail, and he would always end the message
- 34:25Speaker 1: with God is in control. Amen. That was his thing,
- 34:32Speaker 1: and that's coming back to me. So I want to
- 34:36Speaker 1: end this podcast with God is in control and man
- 34:42Speaker 1: shout out to my brother Mike Bumpguart nicknamed Slugo, my brother, man, love,
- 34:48Speaker 1: you can't wait to see you again, to see you
- 34:51Speaker 1: before the throne. But as I close it out, this
- 35:01Speaker 1: is your brother, your boy, mister his hout, reminding you
- 35:04Speaker 1: God's plan is greater than your control. So let's go.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Let's watch him move now until the next time, stay faithful,
- 35:15Speaker 1: stay focused, and as always, keep a kingdom over culture.
- 35:22Speaker 1: And I'm gonna close out like I always do. It's
- 35:28Speaker 1: not about us, It's all about the Christ in us.
- 35:31Speaker 1: God is in control, God blessed. See y'all on the
- 35:35Speaker 1: next podcast.
