- 0:15Speaker 1: God so big to me, man, I just have to
- 0:18Speaker 1: tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather
- 0:21Speaker 1: obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's
- 0:25Speaker 1: absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, Man, I
- 0:30Speaker 1: want to share something with you today. You know, if
- 0:34Speaker 1: you're out there, start your mission today. Why don't we
- 0:39Speaker 1: all decide together better?
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yet? Let's just kill that cause you don't that just individually?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Look you listening, everybody's got something that's that's on the
- 0:50Speaker 1: table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you
- 0:53Speaker 1: waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And if you and if you allow prassic excuse man,
- 1:02Speaker 1: if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that
- 1:07Speaker 1: that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but
- 1:11Speaker 1: that allows the devil then to just really do his thing.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if
- 1:17Speaker 1: you ain't working on your goals, dreams, aspirations, or visions,
- 1:21Speaker 1: you just you're just waking up seeing how today gon
- 1:24Speaker 1: go or the devil. He got plenty for it for
- 1:26Speaker 1: you to do.
- 1:27Speaker 2: See.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But if you get your mind right on your goal
- 1:30Speaker 1: and your focus and your purpose, then you can go
- 1:33Speaker 1: on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you
- 1:35Speaker 1: can catch yourself.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey
- 1:40Speaker 1: to some of your distractions, because you will, but you
- 1:43Speaker 1: will have a goal in mind and aspiration that makes
- 1:46Speaker 1: you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay focused
- 1:48Speaker 1: here because what I really want while I'm really trying
- 1:51Speaker 1: to go the thing that I'm really after, this new
- 1:54Speaker 1: little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Let me keep it moving, or you may step off
- 2:02Speaker 2: the line for a little while.
- 2:03Speaker 1: You know, Like I said yesterday, your thing about God
- 2:06Speaker 1: is he's so forgiving that if you get out of.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Line, he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing.
- 2:11Speaker 2: A lot of people do that for you too.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Like I said, if you're at the movie theater or
- 2:14Speaker 1: you at the amusement park and you're in the line
- 2:16Speaker 1: and you forget something, if you politely ask the person
- 2:19Speaker 1: behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left,
- 2:22Speaker 1: something would you hold my place. Most people say, fine,
- 2:24Speaker 1: Ye'll go ahead, and when you come back, they don't
- 2:26Speaker 1: have a problem. See your problem is is you want
- 2:29Speaker 1: to get out the line, go do something, then come
- 2:31Speaker 1: back and just get up in the line further up
- 2:33Speaker 1: than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a
- 2:36Speaker 1: problem because see everybody looking at you now like hi,
- 2:39Speaker 1: woa partner? Where you come from? You know the line
- 2:41Speaker 1: start back here? But see the thing with God is
- 2:44Speaker 1: God don't do that. God don't say the line start
- 2:47Speaker 1: back here. God holds your place. When you make a
- 2:50Speaker 1: mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place.
- 2:54Speaker 1: But if you ain't got no dreams aspiration, if you
- 2:57Speaker 1: ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See
- 3:00Speaker 1: I mean He got a place for you, but you
- 3:03Speaker 1: gotta come to it. See some people if well, here's
- 3:06Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you got a goal of aspiration
- 3:09Speaker 1: to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can
- 3:13Speaker 1: get back to that because God knows where you left off.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Now you may have to accomplish a few more things
- 3:20Speaker 1: since you stopped for a long period of time, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: God knows where you left off. You can get back
- 3:25Speaker 1: on track. I look, man, this dream of being on
- 3:28Speaker 1: TV since I was a kid, and it got off track.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Now it got off track. I just kept it as
- 3:35Speaker 1: one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments
- 3:38Speaker 1: when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I
- 3:41Speaker 1: was hanging on to is just to hope that one
- 3:44Speaker 1: day it could. But that's what faith is really about.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
- 3:51Speaker 1: But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson,
- 4:00Speaker 1: it just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I was hanging on a hope. And I'm talking about
- 4:08Speaker 1: when it got real ugly and funky out there for me,
- 4:11Speaker 1: when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and all of the facts was in and everything pointed
- 4:18Speaker 1: in the direction you not gonna make it. You done
- 4:20Speaker 1: really messed up this time. Then I sat there and
- 4:24Speaker 1: I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's
- 4:27Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration
- 4:31Speaker 1: or vision or something, when you fall off track and
- 4:34Speaker 1: you want to go get back in line, God holds
- 4:37Speaker 1: your place. He knew I was off tracking, out of line,
- 4:41Speaker 1: but he said, Okay, here's where we stopped. You wanna
- 4:43Speaker 1: be on TV. Now, when you get it together and
- 4:45Speaker 1: you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me,
- 4:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took me a
- 4:52Speaker 1: lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But
- 4:55Speaker 1: then it was necessary because I needed all of the
- 4:57Speaker 1: mishaps to happen to me along the way. When I
- 5:00Speaker 1: got on the radio one day, which I did not
- 5:02Speaker 1: see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's
- 5:05Speaker 1: why I say it every day. See, because of this
- 5:07Speaker 1: radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have
- 5:10Speaker 1: stories to tell, and I can tell you about me
- 5:14Speaker 1: better I can tell you about anybody. And I don't
- 5:17Speaker 1: been through enough whereas relatable where enough people can go
- 5:21Speaker 1: mad that happened to me. Appreciate you saying that that's
- 5:24Speaker 1: what it was for. See I get it now. See
- 5:26Speaker 1: at the time, though I didn't like what was happening
- 5:29Speaker 1: to me. At the time, I was really in total
- 5:31Speaker 1: disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was
- 5:34Speaker 1: pulling off on me. But in essence, I was really
- 5:37Speaker 1: pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy,
- 5:40Speaker 1: he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my
- 5:43Speaker 1: bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the
- 5:48Speaker 1: times I knowingly stepped out.
- 5:51Speaker 2: There and did wrong. He forgave me.
- 5:54Speaker 1: He said, because man, if you ever come to me,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I have a plan for you that's going to be
- 6:01Speaker 1: far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of.
- 6:06Speaker 1: That's what I did. I just got sick of me.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Goodn't sick of me? And I turned it over to God.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And then God started working and here I am today.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Nows he threw with me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Nope?
- 6:22Speaker 1: But guess what the journey is cool? And then you
- 6:26Speaker 1: know what I found out. That's kind of what it's
- 6:28Speaker 1: like in life. If you done walked off the cliff
- 6:31Speaker 1: in life and you ain't got no God in your life,
- 6:35Speaker 1: it's like not having a parachute. You step off the
- 6:38Speaker 1: cliff and you just free falling. We all now that
- 6:42Speaker 1: fag gets you closer to the grave, right see, We
- 6:45Speaker 1: all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But the cool thing about a relationship with God is
- 6:50Speaker 1: when you step off the cliff and you got God
- 6:53Speaker 1: here a parachute. You still going down, but it's a
- 6:56Speaker 1: nice ride. You guide and you're glide, and you're softly,
- 7:00Speaker 1: you enjoying. You look around, you're smiling, You're meeting other
- 7:03Speaker 1: people along the way. You're floating over here to ski
- 7:08Speaker 1: a little while. You over there at the beach for
- 7:10Speaker 1: a little while. You mess around over here, you get
- 7:13Speaker 1: to go out the country a little bit on your
- 7:14Speaker 1: parachuting and all that, and God just helps you. Your
- 7:18Speaker 1: descent appear more like a rise and more like a
- 7:21Speaker 1: euphoric fall, instead of not having no God in your
- 7:25Speaker 1: life and you just walking off that cliff every day,
- 7:29Speaker 1: free falling. Ain't got no cord, You steady pulling, you
- 7:32Speaker 1: hollering the whole way because you to mess around with yourself,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and ain't let God come into your life and provide.
- 7:38Speaker 2: A parachute for you.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I would rather have a parachute, since I got to
- 7:43Speaker 1: jump every day, than to not have one. God has
- 7:46Speaker 1: been like a parachute for me. Ask me where that
- 7:50Speaker 1: came from. I can't tell you, But like I always say,
- 7:54Speaker 1: most good things that happen in my life that I
- 7:56Speaker 1: can't explain is usually him to the
