  Daddy, I'm so excited, but I have one question. What's your question?

  I'm going to be a pastor or a minister.

  Good question. I don't know, but it is all in God's hands. Good morning.
• 1:10
  You're listening to Have Faith, Let It Begin, and it starts right now.
• 1:15
  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 1:18
  On this beautiful Wednesday morning, the sun is rising. We're going to go right
• 1:22
  into a prayer for a very good friend of mine and his name.
• 1:26
  We call him Nighthawk. And I didn't get permission to say his name live on the air.
• 1:30
  So I'm going to just go by his title name that he uses on TikTok.
• 1:34
  And here's the prayer that we have.
• 1:36
  He's about to go into a very, very serious procedure.
• 1:40
  It's going to be a spinal neck surgery.
• 1:43
  And him and I can relate because I had spinal surgery back in 1996.
• 1:48
  So you can come together with me right now. and pray for this gentleman.
• 1:52
  His name is Nighthawk2025, and he's on TikTok.
• 1:56
  And this is the prayer we have for him. Heavenly Father, we just ask you at
• 2:00
  this time to be with him, to guide him, to allow him to move forward into this operating room.
• 2:06
  Allow your wisdom and your guidance and your hope,
• 2:10
  and all the fears that he has inside of him to just disappear because he has
• 2:14
  so much faith in you, Lord, that we ask you to watch over the doctors and nurses
• 2:18
  and all those that'll be in that room and all those that'll be helping him in his recovery.
• 2:23
  We ask you this in your precious name, place your healing hand upon him and
• 2:27
  allow him to wake up with no pain, no discomfort, and just feeling righteous
• 2:33
  and ready to take on the world.
• 2:35
  We pray this unto you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
• 2:40
  So that's our prayer this morning for Nighthawk. I wanted to talk to you about prayer this morning.
• 2:45
  A day without prayer is a day without power. I've said this before.
• 2:50
  When you wake up in the morning and you start your morning, even if you had
• 2:54
  a really rough night, listen, I had about maybe three hours of sleep.
• 2:57
  My son Noah had 103.7 fever and I was not about to go to sleep until that fever dropped.
• 3:04
  And even after the fever dropped, I was praying over him. You know,
• 3:08
  when we have children, when we have loved ones, and they are in need of prayer, that's what we do.
• 3:13
  And we have yesterday, I have a funny story. I was at the DMV.
• 3:18
  Department of Motor Vehicles, and my father and I, my father,
• 3:21
  a 25-year military vet, was there.
• 3:24
  And the lady behind the counter was very, very polite, respectful to my father,
• 3:29
  thanking him for the service.
• 3:30
  And you know while you're doing paperwork and things are loading
• 3:33
  on the screens there's time for a little bit of interaction and
• 3:36
  that's what she was doing very calm and courteous
• 3:39
  and professional she asked questions you know she knew
• 3:42
  that he was spanish i was spanish she was wondering if we were from we were
• 3:46
  born from puerto rico which we did we were conversating and then of course when
• 3:49
  the systems would stop loading we'd get back to business uh you know filling
• 3:54
  out forms and then waiting in between interactions and transactions while the
• 4:00
  computers would load, we'd have conversation.
• 4:02
  Well, right to my right ear, I could hear this gentleman who was obviously,
• 4:07
  listen, we were all there waiting. You all waited at the DMV.
• 4:10
  So we've all been there over an hour. And I guess he didn't think kindly to
• 4:15
  the fact that we were conversating.
• 4:16
  So he made a comment and says, I guess they're going to stand there and talk
• 4:19
  about Puerto Rico all day.
• 4:21
  And part of me wanted to, turn around and say, mind your business, obviously, right?
• 4:27
  But thank God about being in ministry school and having my faith in our Lord
• 4:31
  and Savior, Jesus Christ, and knowing what he went through when he was on the
• 4:35
  cross, knowing that when he was up there in pain,
• 4:39
  suffering, and everyone was making fun of him, spitting on him,
• 4:42
  telling him to get down, you know, all this, he said, Lord, forgive them for
• 4:46
  they don't know what they do.
• 4:48
  So all I did was turn over to the gentleman and says, don't worry, we're almost done.
• 4:52
  And as soon as our transaction was completed and we've done,
• 4:56
  I turned to him and said, you know, sir, I'm going to pray for you today to
• 5:01
  give you a little bit more patience.
• 5:02
  Have a blessed day. God bless you.
• 5:05
  There's a lot of people out there that don't have the patience in prayer.
• 5:09
  There's a lot of people out there that don't have hope.
• 5:12
  Thank you for your prayers, my son Noah. Woke up this morning taking his temperature
• 5:16
  before I went to work, he was at 98.3.
• 5:19
  God is good all the time. And all the time, God is good.
• 5:24
  Take a few minutes every single morning to pray with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
• 5:29
  Take a few minutes, even if you have to say, hey God, Angel here,
• 5:33
  I'm hoping I'm having a good day. and I hope you are too.
• 5:37
  We'll talk later. Amen. That's a prayer.
• 5:40
  Prayer doesn't have to begin with, you know, let us bow our heads.
• 5:44
  That's up to you. It's your relationship with God.
• 5:47
  So this morning, as you go about your day, think about all these other people
• 5:53
  that are struggling with their faith.
• 5:55
  Those that are about to go into surgeries. Those that have been diagnosed.
• 5:59
  There was a woman at the DMV who could barely walk and needed a cane.
• 6:03
  She had to be in their 20s. but yet she was walking proudly.
• 6:07
  Mind me of little John in the Bible.
• 6:11
  Guys, a day without prayer is a day without power. So here's your challenge today. Do me a favor.
• 6:17
  When you get a chance, take your cell phone out,
• 6:21
  scroll through your cell phone, stop at a person's name and let them know that
• 6:27
  you were thinking of them, that you were praying for them and then give them
• 6:32
  a call or text them. Don't matter.
• 6:35
  And then finish your day with the Lord's Prayer. Maybe even start your day with one.
• 6:39
  It sounds like this. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 6:44
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 6:49
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
• 6:55
  debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
• 6:58
  Deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, is the power,
• 7:03
  is the glory forever and ever.
• 7:06
  In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
• 7:08
  So may God be with you. May he shine his light upon you.
• 7:12
  May the Lord bless and hold Nighthawk accountable and understand that we are
• 7:19
  with you, we are guiding you, and we are praying for you.
• 7:23
  May God be with all of you. And never forget, have faith and let it begin.
• 7:28
  Have a good day everyone Nighthawk When you're done and you're able Let me know
• 7:33
