Speaker 1: we have went over All throughout this week we have

Speaker 1: been doing. We're day fourteen. So throughout last week we shared.
3:09
Speaker 1: This week was focused on overcoming doubt. We have been
3:13
Speaker 1: talking about overcoming doubt, stretching our faith. So the very
3:17
Speaker 1: first day we started out with James one and six.
3:22
Speaker 1: He said, but let him act in faith with no doubting.
3:26
Speaker 1: For the one who doubts, it's like a wave of
3:29
Speaker 1: the sea that is driven and tossed by the winds.
3:34
Speaker 1: Day two scripture was Mark eleven in twenty three. He said, truly,
3:39
Speaker 1: I say to you, whosoever say to the mountain be
3:44
Speaker 1: taking up thrown in the sea, and does not doubt
3:47
Speaker 1: in his heart, but believe what he says will come
3:51
Speaker 1: to pass. It will be done for him. Day three
3:59
Speaker 1: this week the scripture was Matthews fourteen and thirty one.
4:04
Speaker 1: It says Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took
4:08
Speaker 1: hold of him, saying to him, oh, you little faith,
4:12
Speaker 1: why did you doubt me? Day four was Psalms forty
4:28
Speaker 1: six and ten, it says, be still and know that
4:31
Speaker 1: I am God. Day five of this week, well tewod
4:38
Speaker 1: Corinthians four and eighteen, it says, as we look not
4:42
Speaker 1: to the things that are seen, but to the things
4:45
Speaker 1: that are unseen, y'all. In day six of this week,
4:52
Speaker 1: which was yesterday, Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven, it says,
4:56
Speaker 1: for I know the plans that I have for you,
4:59
Speaker 1: declares the Lord, or plans for welfare and not for evil,
5:04
Speaker 1: to give you a future and a hope. In today's scripture,
5:10
Speaker 1: it's going to be James one versus two to eight.
5:15
Speaker 1: And I have to get my Bible. I have to
5:18
Speaker 1: get my Bible, real book, ye out cause I did
5:20
Speaker 1: not print it out. Let me show you how to
5:25
Speaker 1: give God ideas, because y'all, I just opened my Bible
5:27
Speaker 1: up and just open it right up to where I
5:30
Speaker 1: need it to be, just on a different just on
5:34
Speaker 1: a different hold on God is good. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
5:43
Speaker 1: yes yes yes yes, oh yes. I need to keep
5:46
Speaker 1: you some light so I can see so I can
5:48
Speaker 1: read this to you, guys. So it's gonna be coming
5:51
Speaker 1: out of James. It's gonna be Chapter one verses two
6:03
Speaker 1: through eighteen. I mean, I'm sorry verses two through eight.
6:08
Speaker 1: I can't even see the Hey, y'all, I'm sorry. So again,
6:11
Speaker 1: that's James one, starting with verse number two, and we're
6:18
Speaker 1: gonna read down to the eighth verse, y'all. I don't
6:27
Speaker 1: use this Bible a lot, and my pages are starting
6:30
Speaker 1: to fall out. I had to tryna keep my pages
6:33
Speaker 1: from falling out alout the saying. It's all over the place.
6:42
Speaker 1: I can say this one has been very used, and
6:49
Speaker 1: y'all see it, y'all be like, you need another Bible,
6:51
Speaker 1: but I got another one, but this one has been
6:53
Speaker 1: very used, y'all. And and my pages was coming out
6:56
Speaker 1: and they was falling out. So I had to secure
6:58
Speaker 1: my pages before I come here. And I apologize again.
7:02
Speaker 1: And just let me know that it's just being used, y'all,
7:04
Speaker 1: just being used again. It's gonna come from James. Chapter one,
7:09
Speaker 1: Verses two through eight. It says, my brethren counted all
7:12
Speaker 1: joy when ye fall into the divers temptation, knowing this
7:19
Speaker 1: that trying of your faith work is patient, but let
7:23
Speaker 1: patients have your perfect work, and that yea may be
7:28
Speaker 1: perfect and entire, wanting nothing if any of you lack wisdom.
7:35
Speaker 1: Let him ask of God that giveth to all men
7:39
Speaker 1: liberally and unbradiedly. Not in it shall be given him.
7:47
Speaker 1: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he
7:51
Speaker 1: that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven
7:55
Speaker 1: with the wind and toss. For let him not that
8:00
Speaker 1: man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
8:07
Speaker 1: A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
8:11
Speaker 1: I have read James Chapter one, verses two through eight.
8:16
Speaker 1: May God bless the reading and hearing of His word,
8:19
Speaker 1: And like I always, may we not just be peers
8:22
Speaker 1: of the word, but may we also be doers of
8:25
Speaker 1: the word. May we be doers of the word. As
8:29
Speaker 1: we reflect back over this week, as we reflect back
8:32
Speaker 1: over what God has been doing throughout this week, throughout
8:37
Speaker 1: these fourteen days. If you go back and just reflect,
8:42
Speaker 1: and even just read the back of the book, y'all,
8:44
Speaker 1: this book is definitely focused on stretching your faith, building
8:49
Speaker 1: your faith, and pushing you outside of your box, seeing
8:55
Speaker 1: just a little and then diving a little deeper into
8:58
Speaker 1: the Word and applying it. Because oftentime, y'all, we read scripture,
9:02
Speaker 1: and a lot of us got a lot of scripture.
9:04
Speaker 1: We know a lot of scripture. We read a lot
9:06
Speaker 1: of scripture, but most of the time we don't apply
9:09
Speaker 1: it to our lives. We have to apply it to
9:11
Speaker 1: our life so that we can see it manifest, so
9:13
Speaker 1: that we can see it come life, so that we
9:15
Speaker 1: can see it working in our life. So again, we
9:20
Speaker 1: have seen throughout this week through scripture that we can't
9:28
Speaker 1: doubt God, that we have to trust Him no matter
9:31
Speaker 1: what it looked like. Y'all, this is something that we
9:35
Speaker 1: are continually here. So knowing that we continually hear this
9:39
Speaker 1: in the word, know that it's true. Know that his
9:43
Speaker 1: word is not going to return to him void. And y'all,
9:47
Speaker 1: if we be still and just listen now, he's gonna
9:51
Speaker 1: lead God in direct us. He will never fail us.
9:54
Speaker 1: He will never ever fail us. He said, he said
9:59
Speaker 1: he will not leave nor for sake to us, y'all.
10:01
Speaker 1: He left us the comforter. I mean he left he
10:05
Speaker 1: left something with us. He left the Holy Spirit. And
10:09
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit's job is to lead God in direct us.
10:12
Speaker 1: See a lot of us when we praying, we are
10:16
Speaker 1: praying to the wrong. We're praying wrong because we're praying
10:20
Speaker 1: and asking God when God has already given us instruction.
10:23
Speaker 1: He's told us, you know, how to pray and how
10:27
Speaker 1: to acts. You know we're supposed to We're not even
10:29
Speaker 1: supposed to be praying to God for things. God is
10:32
Speaker 1: out he's doing is watching over us. He left the
10:35
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to lead God and direct us. We should
10:39
Speaker 1: be addressing the Holy Spirit. We should be asking the
10:42
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to lead God in direct us. Anything that
10:45
Speaker 1: we lack, we should be asking the Holy Spirit for
10:49
Speaker 1: if you lack wisdom, acts, the Holy Spirit would show you.
10:54
Speaker 1: I'm telling you if you act, y'all, I'm telling you.
10:57
Speaker 1: Our apostles shared a testimony yesterday on the Prayer Call,
11:04
Speaker 1: and she was saying how it was pouring down rain
11:07
Speaker 1: and she was out on the West coast and she
11:10
Speaker 1: was sharing with us how it was pouring down raining
11:13
Speaker 1: and how she just wanted it to be clear and
11:16
Speaker 1: sunny when she got up in the air and she
11:18
Speaker 1: said she just stood up in the hotel room and
11:20
Speaker 1: stood in the window and just begin to just ask
11:24
Speaker 1: God to let it be sunny, to let it know
11:27
Speaker 1: rain be coming down when they go up, and she said,
11:33
Speaker 1: up until them getting to the airport, she said it
11:35
Speaker 1: was raining, but got red when they got ready to
11:39
Speaker 1: take off. When they got ready to go up, she said,
11:41
Speaker 1: the sun was shining so bright and shine the sun
11:44
Speaker 1: shine all the way from the West coast all the
11:47
Speaker 1: way to Atlanta. And that was just an example, just
11:52
Speaker 1: an example of you being able to speak and asking God,
11:57
Speaker 1: applying his word, giving him his word back, and watching
12:00
Speaker 1: him move, watching him do what he said he would do.
12:04
Speaker 1: Now his word is not gonna return to him board
12:07
Speaker 1: and he is that man that he's gonna watch over
12:10
Speaker 1: and towards, perform and perfect it in our lives. Just
12:13
Speaker 1: because it don't come when we want it to come
12:16
Speaker 1: don't mean that it's not gonna come. We gotta be patient,
12:19
Speaker 1: and we gotta hold on. We gotta be still and
12:22
Speaker 1: know that he is God and that he is yet moving,
12:25
Speaker 1: because the evidence is those things that we hope for
12:29
Speaker 1: that we don't see. And we gotta know that he
12:33
Speaker 1: is who he said he will be, and if he's
12:35
Speaker 1: done it for you before, know that he'll do it again.
12:38
Speaker 1: He has no respect of a person. I'm reminded that
12:42
Speaker 1: he raised me up off my bed of affliction. I
12:44
Speaker 1: shot point black range with a solid our shotgun. I
12:46
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here, but God he saw fit for me
12:50
Speaker 1: to wake up. He could have left me lying on
12:53
Speaker 1: that bed. He could have left me dead in my sin.
12:56
Speaker 1: But he saw fit to raise me up. On May seventh,
12:59
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen. He saw fit to raise me up,
13:02
Speaker 1: to give me another chance. And I said, I will
13:05
Speaker 1: not sit down on his goodness. I will not sit
13:07
Speaker 1: down on those things that he's done for me. That
13:09
Speaker 1: I would share his goodness regardless. And he gave me
13:11
Speaker 1: an outlet. I said, I didn't want to stand up
13:13
Speaker 1: in a pool pit. I didn't want to preach. I
13:15
Speaker 1: didn't want to do that. But God gave me an outlet.
13:18
Speaker 1: He gave me books. Now I've published over one hundred
13:21
Speaker 1: and thirty something publications, magazines, journals, planners, calendars, anithologies, you
13:29
Speaker 1: name it, I have it out. You can go google me.
13:32
Speaker 1: Angela Thomas Smith, Queen of Collaborations. You'll see everything that
13:35
Speaker 1: I've done only through God, only because I said I
13:40
Speaker 1: would trust him, only because I believed in his word.
13:45
Speaker 1: I could have gave up because in twoenty twelve when
13:49
Speaker 1: he said he had a plan for me, when he
13:52
Speaker 1: told when he spoke that in my spirit said, I
13:55
Speaker 1: didn't drop you out of this guy. I strategically placed
13:58
Speaker 1: you there, Jeremiah eleven, go read it. And I did,
14:03
Speaker 1: and y'all, that thing has been ringing in my spirit
14:05
Speaker 1: ever since. And then when I was going through the
14:07
Speaker 1: enemy would tell me if God had a plan for you,
14:11
Speaker 1: if he was gonna prosper you, why did you go
14:14
Speaker 1: through the mess of violence? Why are your experiencing all
14:19
Speaker 1: of this? The enemy would try to deter me from
14:22
Speaker 1: what I know God has called me to. But I
14:25
Speaker 1: had to get up out of my mess. I had say, Okay,
14:30
Speaker 1: I want better, I want to do better. I want
14:32
Speaker 1: something different. And that's what I did. And when I
14:36
Speaker 1: began to move and when I begin to step out
14:38
Speaker 1: on faith, and when I believe, God began to move
14:42
Speaker 1: in my life. But you gotta believe, you gotta trust him.
14:46
Speaker 1: You got to give it to him, and you have
14:48
Speaker 1: to move out of the way. See oftentimes we'll give
14:51
Speaker 1: it to him, but then we come back and we
14:53
Speaker 1: pick it up and we want to well get it
14:55
Speaker 1: back again. That's not trusting him. That's not trust and
15:00
Speaker 1: believing in his word. He wants you to put your
15:03
Speaker 1: whole heart into him, he said, seeking first the Kingdom
15:06
Speaker 1: of Heaven, and all things shall be added. He didn't
15:08
Speaker 1: say some things. He said all things. But see, the
15:13
Speaker 1: first time something goes wrong or something comes up, we
15:17
Speaker 1: lose faith, We lose trust. But he wants us to
15:22
Speaker 1: hold on. He want us to be patient. He wants
15:24
Speaker 1: us to be still and to know that he is God, y'all.
15:28
Speaker 1: He is never changing, He's always on time, and he's
15:34
Speaker 1: always looking out for the interests of his children. God,
15:41
Speaker 1: it's not a coincident. It's not an accident. It's not
15:43
Speaker 1: a hamper stance that you are here. God allowed you
15:47
Speaker 1: to cross this page, allowed you to cross this path
15:50
Speaker 1: for a reason. Don't know what it is, but soon
15:54
Speaker 1: he will reveal it. So whatever it is, just act
15:58
Speaker 1: upon it. Because He don't allow people to come in
16:01
Speaker 1: your past, across your past for no reason. There's always
16:04
Speaker 1: a reason why he brings connections, why he make connections,
16:08
Speaker 1: why he allow people to cross your path. So we
16:10
Speaker 1: have to figure out what it is, what that season
16:14
Speaker 1: in our life that that person can help us with
16:16
Speaker 1: or supposed to be be inputting. We see, we have
16:20
Speaker 1: to find that place and then we have to we
16:23
Speaker 1: have to ask him to show us us. And that's
16:28
Speaker 1: all about being self aware. See, in order for us
16:33
Speaker 1: to be able to shift. And y'all, that is something
16:36
Speaker 1: that I that I that I teach on my Monday
16:39
Speaker 1: morning motivational class at nine am every Monday. I come
16:44
Speaker 1: live right here on social media and I share. For
16:48
Speaker 1: the last five years, I have been sharing about purpose
16:54
Speaker 1: and about power and you knowing you have your power.
16:58
Speaker 1: Now that we know all of these things. For the
17:00
Speaker 1: last five years, we've been sharing these things, we've been
17:02
Speaker 1: in putting, these things we've been pouring in. Now it's
17:05
Speaker 1: time for us to shift because there are people. There
17:08
Speaker 1: are people that are dependent on us. They're people that
17:11
Speaker 1: are counting on us to make it so that they
17:13
Speaker 1: can come out of what they're going through, so that
17:15
Speaker 1: they can make it to know that there's someone, there's
17:25
Speaker 1: someone looking up to you. There's someone depending on you
17:29
Speaker 1: to survive. So it's survivor season. It's time for you
17:34
Speaker 1: to shift. It's time for you to walk into that
17:36
Speaker 1: that he's called you to. So how do you shift?
17:39
Speaker 1: How do you move? How do you walk into that
17:41
Speaker 1: that he's called you to? So how do you do that? First,
17:45
Speaker 1: you got to come self aware of yourself. You got
17:50
Speaker 1: to be willing to heal. How do you heal you.
17:54
Speaker 1: Stop allowing hindrance to cause you to have an ego,
17:58
Speaker 1: which causes you to have at it to which causes
18:01
Speaker 1: you not to operate in love. If you want to heal,
18:06
Speaker 1: stop allowing hinderance to distract you. Stop moving with an
18:12
Speaker 1: ego because you have an attitude. Love covers a multitude
18:17
Speaker 1: of sind love draws. Love is action. So I challenge you.
18:24
Speaker 1: I challenge you to allow yourself to heal, Allow yourself
18:28
Speaker 1: to move past whatever is hindering you, whatever is stopping you,
18:32
Speaker 1: whatever's keeping you in bondage. Allow your to heal on today.
18:37
Speaker 1: Because once you allow yourself to heal, then now you
18:42
Speaker 1: can start being intentional about those things that you know
18:45
Speaker 1: He's called you to, because it's not a coincidence. It's
18:48
Speaker 1: not an accident. That's something that you're supposed to be
18:51
Speaker 1: doing for the kingdom. All of us. We didn't get
18:55
Speaker 1: dropped out of the sky. Just like every finger on
18:58
Speaker 1: my hand has a fun function. It's supposed to be
19:01
Speaker 1: doing something. It has its own function. It aligns to
19:04
Speaker 1: make my hand my hands, and then my hands has
19:07
Speaker 1: a function. It connects to my arms to make my arm.
19:13
Speaker 1: It connects to my wrist to make my arm my arm. So, y'all,
19:17
Speaker 1: everything has a function, everything has its place, and we
19:21
Speaker 1: have to find out what our place is in the
19:23
Speaker 1: kingdom and what are those things that we can bring
19:26
Speaker 1: to the kingdom to help the kingdom grow. Because we
19:31
Speaker 1: are disciples, whether we want to accept it or not,
19:34
Speaker 1: and that there are things that we're supposed to be
19:36
Speaker 1: doing that there are people that we're supposed to be leading. Everybody,
19:40
Speaker 1: every single person. You may not lead millions and hundreds
19:44
Speaker 1: and thousands, you may only have a group of ten,
19:47
Speaker 1: but everybody has someone that they're supposed to be in
19:49
Speaker 1: charge over because we're supposed to be leaders, we're supposed
19:53
Speaker 1: to be disciples. So know that, and as you begin
19:56
Speaker 1: to be intentional about those things, stay focused, stay focused,
20:02
Speaker 1: keep your mind stayed on him so that you don't
20:05
Speaker 1: get distracted. Because along the way, you're gonna have choices
20:08
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to make, and you're gonna have
20:11
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're making the right choice, because
20:13
Speaker 1: he give us free will to make any choice that
20:16
Speaker 1: we want to make, but we want to make sure
20:19
Speaker 1: that we're making the right choices, the choices that align
20:22
Speaker 1: with those things that He's called us to so that
20:24
Speaker 1: we can grow, so that we can take our place
20:27
Speaker 1: in the key, so that we can make a difference.
20:31
Speaker 1: So I challenge you guys, be intentional and stay focused
20:37
Speaker 1: so that you can transform to that next level, so
20:43
Speaker 1: that you can be elevated, so that you can lead
20:46
Speaker 1: those that you are supposed to lead. Because see how
20:50
Speaker 1: we are the change that we desire to see in
20:53
Speaker 1: this world. If we want change, it has to start
20:57
Speaker 1: with us. And as we beginning to change, then those
21:01
Speaker 1: around us, our family, our friends, they will begin to change.
21:06
Speaker 1: And as they begin to change, y'all, it ripples out,
21:09
Speaker 1: It ripples out into our community, and then it ripples
21:13
Speaker 1: out on further and then it begins to make a
21:16
Speaker 1: global change. But when we all begin to work on ourselves,
21:21
Speaker 1: that's when we can have a better world. We can't
21:25
Speaker 1: depend on man the government to do nothing. It starts
21:31
Speaker 1: with us individually. And when we individually work on being
21:36
Speaker 1: the best version of ourselves, then we will begin to
21:40
Speaker 1: see change in this world. But it's not gonna it's
21:45
Speaker 1: not It's not up to the government, it is not
21:49
Speaker 1: up to the leaders. It's up to us individually to
21:57
Speaker 1: make a sound, conscious decision that we want to be
22:03
Speaker 1: the best versions of ourselves so that we can do
22:06
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do for the kingdom. It's bigger
22:09
Speaker 1: than material things. It's bigger than those things that we
22:13
Speaker 1: can't take with us, because a lot of the stuff
22:15
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are striving for and going
22:17
Speaker 1: for are things that you cannot take with you. And
22:22
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's not going to
22:23
Speaker 1: make a difference. But it's those things that we have
22:26
Speaker 1: done for Him, those things that we have done for Christ,
22:29
Speaker 1: those things that we have done for the Kingdom are
22:32
Speaker 1: the things that's going to matter. Those are the things
22:36
Speaker 1: that's going to matter. So before I go today, y'all
22:42
Speaker 1: know that I'm a poet and I want to read
22:46
Speaker 1: a couple of poems as well. This is coming out
22:50
Speaker 1: of my birthday anthology. I did this book with twenty
22:55
Speaker 1: other poets, and I want to share two poems out
22:59
Speaker 1: of this book that hopefully will encourage you on your journeys.
23:05
Speaker 1: And these are gonna be coming from They're gonna be
23:09
Speaker 1: coming from two of the poets within the book. One
23:16
Speaker 1: is gonna be coming from our poet of the Year
23:20
Speaker 1: and her name is Marcinemore. So your picture of her
23:25
Speaker 1: Marsine Moore. She's our poet of the Year and her
23:33
Speaker 1: poem is entitled Why I Mean. It says I almost
23:41
Speaker 1: lost my life that day. Faces memories of people I
23:45
Speaker 1: love flash before my eyes, A moment time seen to freeze.
23:51
Speaker 1: I realized it was for me. I didn't have time
23:55
Speaker 1: to say goodbye, and then, unseen but felt, a steady
24:00
Speaker 1: hand lifted my back to solid land. God's grace saved me.
24:07
Speaker 1: I heard him softly in my ear. You are still here.
24:11
Speaker 1: There's no more to hear. A second chance, a gift
24:16
Speaker 1: so pure, my life spared, yet renewed, my path redirected.
24:24
Speaker 1: Grace I learned is mercy giving undeserved, a gift that heals.
24:31
Speaker 1: But mostly importantly, I learned grace is an art of
24:37
Speaker 1: letting go, of finding peace. When I didn't know I
24:43
Speaker 1: almost lost my life, I asked why I Mean? Because
24:48
Speaker 1: grace was the gift I needed most. To understand mercy undeserving.
24:56
Speaker 1: It had to be me. That's that peace. And it's
25:00
Speaker 1: called Why Me? And it was written by Marsine Moore.
25:05
Speaker 1: And this is a picture of Martine Moore. Y'all can
25:08
Speaker 1: follow her on social media. She is on social media
25:11
Speaker 1: she's all most all social media sites as Marcine and more.
25:18
Speaker 1: Gonna share another one, and this one is by Ramero
25:27
Speaker 1: h Milagros Ramero, and the title of this poem is
25:32
Speaker 1: called but God's Grace, Lord, thank you for your grace.
25:39
Speaker 1: One day it would lead me to see your face
25:42
Speaker 1: when darkness and pain enroach me. Your grace helped me safe. Indeed,
25:48
Speaker 1: you dress me with your mercy and grace. You hide
25:51
Speaker 1: me in sacred place. My body rebel. But science is
25:58
Speaker 1: limited on what I I can give, but your love,
26:02
Speaker 1: mercy and grace, I still live, living beyond expected days.
26:08
Speaker 1: You only you, and only you have the last say.
26:14
Speaker 1: By God's grace I live. And that's that peace. And
26:18
Speaker 1: that's by Melogros Rameros. And only if you knew her journey,
26:24
Speaker 1: If you knew her journey, I tell you, if you
26:27
Speaker 1: knew her journey. So, y'all, I just wanted to encourage
26:32
Speaker 1: you guys on this morning, just wanted to reflect. Today
26:35
Speaker 1: was a reflection we shared James One, verses two through eight,
26:45
Speaker 1: and we just basically are just focusing on faith, trusting
26:50

27:14
Speaker 1: the line. Stay in a line with his word, and
27:17
Speaker 1: if you're not sure, seek out his word. Y'all. We
27:21
Speaker 1: can't keep wanting to get withdraws if we're not putting
27:25
Speaker 1: nothing in. So you got to go and you got
27:27
Speaker 1: to search out this word. Go read his word, and
27:30
Speaker 1: then if you still don't understand, ask him ask him
27:33
