- 4:37And I'm so glad that I was able to collab and get The Beat of Hope by Endless Hope Inc.
- 4:43Hosted by Clinton Knapp. They're on the air now. I'm so happy.
- 4:47I'm wishing them nothing but great success.
- 4:49Today's episode is really easy. It's preparing others through the life and the
- 4:57love that God and Jesus wants us to lead.
- 5:01What does that even mean, right? I just threw a lot of words at you.
- 5:06As followers or believers of the God and, you know, having our Lord and Savior
- 5:11Jesus Christ be the one that leads us to the path of righteousness is another
- 5:17way for us to shine. How do we shine?
- 5:19We shine because we have this armor of God within us.
- 5:23The armor of God is so powerful, it prevents anything to pierce through it.
- 5:28Now, does that mean that we don't have any more bad days?
- 5:32No, we're still going to have those moments. We're going to have those days
- 5:36where you just feel like the world is coming down on you. You're going to feel
- 5:41like the clouds are over you.
- 5:42You're going to feel as if, you know, one bad day probably can go on to the
- 5:47next. But here's the thing.
- 5:49There's not really a struggle if you have your faith.
- 5:53You can maintain all the daggers, all the thunderstorms, all the nasty weather that is thrown upon us.
- 6:01If you just try your best to keep your faith, I know that you could sit there
- 6:06and say, Angel, you don't even know me.
- 6:08You don't know the week I've had. You don't know the year I've had.
- 6:11You don't know the years I've had.
- 6:13You know what? I don't know you very well, but I know somebody who does.
- 6:18Somebody who has created us in his image and allows us the opportunity to speak
- 6:23with him each and every day, any second, every minute, at any hour of the day,
- 6:28and that is our Heavenly Father.
- 6:30So sometimes when we struggle, and we will, and we do, it is okay to reach out
- 6:36and just say, hey, I'm getting beat up over here, buddy. I need to tag you in.
- 6:41Hey, I don't know what's going on. I do my prayers.
- 6:44I go to church. I try to be a good person, and yet the struggles continue to come my way.
- 6:51That I can tell you I know what it feels like, but it's within our struggles.
- 6:56It's within those bad days that we continue to praise God on the good days and on the bad days.
- 7:02And we remember that no matter what happens in our lives, no matter how often
- 7:08we are smacked around by this nasty weather, I call them storms,
- 7:14faith within the storms.
- 7:15As we battle the storms, we don't have to do it alone.
- 7:19We reach out to our brothers or sisters in Christ and we say,
- 7:23hey, I need some help. I need some help. I need some prayer.
- 7:27I don't know why I even got an accent when I did that just now, but I do.
- 7:31Clinton did that for me. He didn't know it, but he did.
- 7:35Dr. Ineli did that for me. He probably didn't know it then, but he knows now.
- 7:40So many of you that have been a part of my life, so many of you that have come
- 7:45into my life had inspired me to be a better person.
- 7:48People like Nick, another individual. I believe God sent him to be my additional
- 7:54vessel, that angel and the light of hope.
- 7:58People like Justin, people like Ralph, colleagues at work, strangers that walk
- 8:05up and down the hallways or in a supermarket and look up at you and say, hey, good morning.
- 8:11Hope you have a blessed day. Or my favorite, strangers that just look around
- 8:15and say, hey, you look like you're having a good day.
- 8:18Or hey, you seem like you're a good person. I just wanted to let you know God
- 8:21loves you. Whoa, I didn't see that coming.
- 8:24Yeah, he did. God did. And he continues to encourage each and every one of us.
- 8:30Now, have we all made mistakes? Have we all done things that we're not proud of?
- 8:35Have we all said to ourselves, hmm, maybe I shouldn't have done this.
- 8:40Maybe I could do this better.
- 8:42Yes, we're human. We make mistakes. We're not sure sometimes what door to take.
- 8:48But you know what we do know? The difference between right and wrong.
- 8:52We're old enough now to know that we can do anything that we believe in.
- 8:58We just have to put God first. We have to make sure that he's aware,
- 9:03that we're aware, that with him and through him, everything is possible.
- 9:09Remember that today as you go about your day.
- 9:12Let's pray. Good morning, Heavenly Father, my good friend and Father in Christ.
- 9:18Thank you so much for giving us a platform to be on the air.
- 9:21Thank you for friends like Clinton who have their own podcast now and are shining
- 9:26the light through others and doing their part to help change the world.
- 9:31Lord, we just ask you to watch over all of our friends in TikTok world that
- 9:35come in and out of our lives.
- 9:37We pray for all Half-Aid Let It Begin members and subscribers that listen to
- 9:43us on a daily basis, that get inspiration from us each and every morning.
- 9:48And we thank them for all that we continue to do.
- 9:51And we pray this in your name as we pray the words that you taught us.
- 9:56Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
- 10:00Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- 10:05Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
- 10:11debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
