Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, you know what I thought about something I thought
- 0:03Speaker 1: I wanted to share with my audience because you know,
- 0:07Speaker 1: it's something I've realized as I've gotten older. I understand
- 0:14Speaker 1: my mission. I've accepted my calling. I am crystal clear
- 0:21Speaker 1: about one of the reasons why I'm here. I now
- 0:25Speaker 1: fully understand why God made my life have the challenges
- 0:30Speaker 1: and setbacks in it that he did. So in moments
- 0:34Speaker 1: like this, when I'm talking to people, I can offer
- 0:39Speaker 1: them some tidbits, some gems, some jewels that I have
- 0:43Speaker 1: learned along the way. And I think of so many
- 0:46Speaker 1: things that I've learned in my past that I never
- 0:48Speaker 1: didn't understand at the time.
- 0:50Speaker 2: But I do not.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Something my mother used to say to me all the time.
- 0:54Speaker 1: My mother used to say, one day, God gonna give
- 0:57Speaker 1: you a big house up on the hill. You can't
- 1:00Speaker 1: get up on that hill, and don't tell nobody else
- 1:02Speaker 1: how to get there. Now, coming from a very poor background,
- 1:06Speaker 1: I didn't understand that at a time. And then you know,
- 1:09Speaker 1: that was a scripture talking about a house on a
- 1:11Speaker 1: hill and something like that was something something I didn't
- 1:14Speaker 1: know what she was talking about. I don't think my mama,
- 1:16Speaker 1: here come another Bible verse. I got to go to the
- 1:19Speaker 1: Bibles till they and figure this one out. I just
- 1:20Speaker 1: never did.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Well.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I understand now, and in that I understand my mission,
- 1:28Speaker 1: I understand my assignment. I've accepted my calling, and here
- 1:32Speaker 1: I am. So that's to say to everybody out there
- 1:37Speaker 1: who hasn't reached my plateau yet. As far as age goes,
- 1:41Speaker 1: the things you're going through right now is preparing you
- 1:46Speaker 1: for what you're going to be and what you're going
- 1:50Speaker 1: to have. And you've got to understand this process. I
- 1:55Speaker 1: didn't always understand it, but now that I've gone through
- 1:58Speaker 1: it and still going through it at time, I'm sharing
- 2:01Speaker 1: with you some things that you need to know about
- 2:03Speaker 1: the process that yeah, it is hard for you now,
- 2:08Speaker 1: but this too shall pass. Yes it's challenging for you now,
- 2:12Speaker 1: but this ain't gonna trouble last always. I'm telling you
- 2:16Speaker 1: what I've learned that you're going to get to the
- 2:19Speaker 1: other side of it eventually. And sometimes you get to
- 2:22Speaker 1: the other side and don't even realize you there, and
- 2:26Speaker 1: you just got to stay in the process. The most
- 2:29Speaker 1: important thing you have to remember, folks, in this whole
- 2:31Speaker 1: process is don't you ever ever give up. I don't
- 2:36Speaker 1: care what happens. Don't you ever give up? I don't
- 2:39Speaker 1: care how dark it look for you, how bleak the situation,
- 2:42Speaker 1: how charged with punishment the scroll. Don't you ever ever
- 2:48Speaker 1: give up? Because I have seen it happen too many times.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I have seen people who I know gave up before
- 2:57Speaker 1: the light switch got cut. On one more strike of
- 3:01Speaker 1: the hammer, they to hit oil, one more dig or
- 3:05Speaker 1: the shovel.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And the diamonds would have fell out.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I have seen people walk away from situations and the
- 3:11Speaker 1: very next day the person behind them reaped the benefits.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I've seen it over and over and over and over again.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I was determined I was not going to be that person.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I oftentimes I just asked God for strength. Now you
- 3:28Speaker 1: know what God does when you ask for strength, He
- 3:32Speaker 1: puts situations in front of you that requires you to
- 3:34Speaker 1: be strong. Because it's like going to the gym. You
- 3:39Speaker 1: can't go in there and get in that gym. One
- 3:41Speaker 1: of the big boys is that over there. You got
- 3:42Speaker 1: to start with some lightweights. You got to work up.
- 3:46Speaker 1: You can't jump in there and grab the sixties. You
- 3:49Speaker 1: gotta start your curls with them twenties. Man, you grab
- 3:53Speaker 1: them sixties and start curling, and see what happened.
- 3:56Speaker 2: You'll be discouraged. You'll go home.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Nah, man, you got to get you got to get
- 4:01Speaker 1: them life weights. You got to start building it up.
- 4:03Speaker 1: And as you build it up, you get stronger, and
- 4:06Speaker 1: you get stronger. So you ask God for strength. Yeah,
- 4:08Speaker 1: so he puts situation in front of you that requires
- 4:11Speaker 1: you to be strong. You asking God to make you
- 4:15Speaker 1: rich one day. You know what God gonna do. He
- 4:17Speaker 1: gonna make you understand what poverty is. See, because if
- 4:21Speaker 1: you do get rich one day, you're gonna have to
- 4:24Speaker 1: have an appreciation for it, because if you don't. People
- 4:27Speaker 1: who get rich quick don't have money loan because they don't.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Know the process.
- 4:32Speaker 1: So as you're asking God to increase your wealth, He's
- 4:36Speaker 1: also gonna let you stay in this poverty.
- 4:37Speaker 2: A little while too. I can attest to that.
- 4:42Speaker 1: As you ask God to bring you closer, which is
- 4:45Speaker 1: what I'm doing right now. You know what God gonna do.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He gonna put you in this situation to make you realize,
- 4:50Speaker 1: ain't nobody out there for you but Him, and I
- 4:53Speaker 1: ain't got no choice but to be closer to Him,
- 4:55Speaker 1: because guess what, can't nobody really help me, I don't
- 4:59Speaker 1: have no problems. Well, I can up the phone and
- 5:00Speaker 1: go yo, man, I need some help. No anybody finna
- 5:04Speaker 1: do that. God keeps me in situations where I have
- 5:08Speaker 1: to realize is only Him and no matter where the
- 5:12Speaker 1: attack comes from. I am now thoroughly convinced that God
- 5:16Speaker 1: got me. I am convinced of it. I wish y'all
- 5:22Speaker 1: could just learn it from me. Do you see how
- 5:24Speaker 1: I come and get on this radio every day with
- 5:26Speaker 1: this same attitude. I don't care what's swirling around me.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I have people all the time, Hey man, just checking
- 5:35Speaker 1: on you. You okay?
- 5:36Speaker 2: But I'm good. I'm good man, I'm good.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I really am. Because I am convinced that God is
- 5:45Speaker 1: with me. I am convinced that He's not gonna leave me.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I am convinced that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I am convinced that I can walk through the rivers
- 5:56Speaker 1: and the waters and will not be overcome. I am
- 5:58Speaker 1: convinced of that. I am convinced that he making me
- 6:02Speaker 1: lie down in green pastures. I'm convinced of it because
- 6:05Speaker 1: He'd done it for me time and time again, So
- 6:07Speaker 1: why would he not do me again?
- 6:09Speaker 2: And if God said he'd never leave you. He he
- 6:11Speaker 2: don't leave you.
- 6:12Speaker 1: You going through something, don't mean he'd have left you. Man,
- 6:15Speaker 1: y'all come on now, don't ever give up. That's the
- 6:18Speaker 1: number one thing. Don't you ever give up. I don't
- 6:21Speaker 1: care what happens. Don't you dare give up? I those
- 6:27Speaker 1: are my clothes. Remove forgets.
