  Hello, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith Let It Begin.
• 1:19
  We are back. It is a Wednesday.
• 1:22
  Today is May 28th, 2025. 25.
• 1:25
  The podcast is on the air. We are simulcasting on TikTok, and we hope that each
• 1:31
  and every one of you continues to inspire to be a better person each and every day.
• 1:35
  Good morning, Endless Hope. Good morning, all those that are joining us today.
• 1:40
  We are going to talk to you today about not allowing ourselves to judge others as they may judge us.
• 1:48
  We have to remember to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
• 1:55
  Now, growing up, we were always taught to not bully, not to be the bullier, and not to be bullied.
• 2:02
  A lot of times growing up in this crazy world that we live in.
• 2:08
  You know, growing up, there was always bullies in the world, right?
• 2:10
  There was always somebody that likes to pick on you. There's always somebody.
• 2:13
  A lot of times for me, it was my older brothers, not my sister, my older brothers.
• 2:18
  And for, you know, for better lack of words or lack of terms, you know,
• 2:24
  They almost have to be that kind of big brother, right? If you're the younger
• 2:28
  brother, they have to be that bully so you can get stronger.
• 2:31
  We don't see that anymore. Nowadays, we don't see people stronger.
• 2:37
  They're they're they're they're weakened by the social media.
• 2:40
  And I'm not knocking social media because there's a lot of good in social media.
• 2:44
  Henceforth, we're live here today with you spreading good cheer,
• 2:48
  good word from our heavenly father.
• 2:51
  But one of the things that I think is interesting is how often we walk around
• 2:55
  society and we're walking in our hallways of our place of business or wherever we're walking,
• 3:00
  you'll always find that one individual who loves to nitpick or go after somebody
• 3:07
  and make them almost feel like they're beneath them or make them ridicule them for that matter.
• 3:13
  And then you start to wonder, am I going to be that person that steps in and get involved?
• 3:17
  Am I going to be that person that says, yay, you can't do that.
• 3:20
  Don't treat that person like that.
• 3:22
  And then we're also taught, you know, maybe you shouldn't get involved.
• 3:25
  You never know what could happen, but whatever happened to those,
• 3:28
  those bully heroes, right?
• 3:31
  That's what I used to call them heroes that would step in and say, you can't do that.
• 3:36
  They're still around, but not many, not many of them have been around and we're
• 3:42
  missing that. We're missing those individuals.
• 3:45
  So this morning, I want to take you back and I want you to remember how Jesus was bullied.
• 3:53
  How Jesus was made fun of, was spit on, was thrown rocks at,
• 3:59
  was told that he wasn't the son of God, that he was a radical prophet,
• 4:06
  or that he was somebody that just was a madman.
• 4:09
  But he still took all of those arrows, took all those rocks,
• 4:15
  because he had what we have today. We really do have it.
• 4:19
  And that is an armor of Christ. When we
• 4:21
  were created in his image Christ gave us
• 4:24
  an armor And the armor that we put on each
• 4:27
  and every morning That never really truly comes off
• 4:30
  Is an armor that is stronger than any piece of metal Than you will ever ever
• 4:36
  see The only reason why these things get pierced and they come through Is because
• 4:41
  we allow them to Because we don't
• 4:43
  allow ourselves to gain access To that strength that God has provided us.
• 4:50
  God has provided us, and you, of course, the armor of God.
• 4:53
  And we can use that armor when we need it the most.
• 4:57
  Don't let others treat you like you're beneath them.
• 5:01
  Don't let others make you feel that you cannot exist in this world.
• 5:05
  Don't make others feel that they are okay to make fun of you.
• 5:10
  And by all means, that goes both ways.
• 5:14
  Don't make fun of others. Am I perfect?
• 5:17
  Absolutely not. have I made comments that I shouldn't? I have. Have I made.
• 5:25
  Decisions in my life that I shouldn't have? Yes, I have.
• 5:28
  You know, you find in life that you will continue to do things that you do not,
• 5:35
  that you know that you shouldn't be doing.
• 5:38
  It wasn't until I walked my faith and my journey into ministry school that I
• 5:43
  realized that I can't be doing things like that.
• 5:46
  Now, mind you, people are like, wait a minute, you just started ministry school.
• 5:55
  About when I really started to walk my path and knowing who God was.
• 5:59
  So I'm going to say around 2005.
• 6:02
  So about 20 years ago is when I really understood that I had to walk a different path.
• 6:08
  And the path that I chose to walk was a path that is not easy to do.
• 6:14
  It's so hard. Have you ever felt like you can try to walk Jesus's path,
• 6:18
  meaning to be 100% exactly the way he did it? For me, it's, I don't want to
• 6:25
  say the word impossible. It's just very difficult.
• 6:27
  And I admire him for that because he's just an admirable person.
• 6:33
  Many of us have to remember that every day that we wake up is a new day.
• 6:39
  Every day that we encounter other people, whether you agree or disagree with
• 6:44
  them, there's no reason to make fun of them.
• 6:46
  Now, you can agree to disagree. You can have difference of opinions,
• 6:50
  but you don't have to tell that person that they are, you know,
• 6:55
  psychotic or crazy, or they're full of nonsense.
• 6:59
  You can say, well, you know, your way of thinking is just not the way of my way of thinking.
• 7:03
  And that's one of the things that I think we need to, to concentrate on.
• 7:08
  It's, it's not what we say, it's how we say it. And that's really all I have for you guys today.
• 7:13
  I hope that each and every one of you inspired to be a better person.
• 7:16
  I hope that we can all transfer our inner Jesus self and knowing as.
• 7:23
  God's children and what we have to offer each other and others is nothing but
• 7:30
  love, honesty, and respect.
• 7:32
  So this morning, as we conclude the podcast, but we'll remain on the TikTok,
• 7:37
  we just want to pray with each and every one of you.
• 7:40
  Heavenly Father, we thank you for all that you give us every single morning.
• 7:43
  We know today is not promised. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
• 7:46
  What we do know is that the love that you have for us is outstanding.
• 7:51
  And we love you, Lord, for all that you continue to do for us.
• 7:55
  We ask you to continue to come into our heart and we ask you,
• 7:58
  Lord, to make you our Lord and Savior.
• 8:01
  In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
