  Speaker 2: way to deal with it all. And I'm not saying
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that it'll protect you from every single thing out there

  Speaker 2: that's happening because some things are going to happen to you.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You're going to be in an accident from time to time.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: You're going to make a mistake and fall down from

  Speaker 2: time to time. But man, wouldn't it be incredible for
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you if you understood that you had some insurance in
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: all of this, that no matter what happened to you,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, you were covered. You know, look, insurance companies,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: as good as they are, you know, like our friends
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: at State Farm or any other insurance company, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they do some amazing things. Insurance is a really, really
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: good thing to happen in the event that something happens
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to you. You know, you may not want to pay
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the premium, but guess what? In the event that something
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: happens to you, that insurance is absolutely critical. Well, but
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: guess what? They cover certain things. You could get life insurance.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You can get auto insurance. You can get accident insurance.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: You can get health insurance. There is nothing that you
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: can buy to safeguard you against life's decisions. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: if you make a mistake, if you cheat, if you lie,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: If you fall down and you can't seem to get
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it together and you make a crazy decision about how
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you're going to go about securing an income, there are
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: no policies you can buy for that. You can't buy
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a policy if you stop being the man you're supposed
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to be and give up on your children. You can't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: buy a policy if something happens as a mother and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're not the mother you're supposed
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to be. But there is some insurance coverage out there
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: for you. And that relationship that you form with God,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that friendship that you form with him, that alliance, that partnership,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that prayer that you put in all the time, there
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is an insurance policy that you have taken out when
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you form a relationship with your Heavenly Father, when you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: form a friendship, when you form a bond, that protects
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you when these things happen in the event that they happen. Now,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: here's the great thing about prayer. Prayer can head off
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: some stuff from happening. It really, really can. Prayer can
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: prevent some things from happening. You know, I'll give you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: an example in my life. Okay, here we go. Because see,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this is the best way for me to do it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Because see, what I don't like to do is talk
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to people without letting them know, hey, look, I'm in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this hole with you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I feel where you're at. okay, here we go. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was making some decisions a few.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Years ago because what I thought I was doing was
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: counterbalancing something that was happening in my life. You know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I thought that since I wasn't happy or well, for
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: whatever the reason, I thought I wasn't happy. If, if I,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: as wrong as I am, wanted to blame somebody else
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for my unhappiness, that that's, that's really, if, if, If
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I make a bad decision because I'm thinking I'm unhappy
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: with somebody, well, hold up on two wrongs don't make
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a right. And I make a decision to do something wrong.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And now the consequences come when I do something wrong. See,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: then I already know as an intelligent thinking man, as
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: most of you are, that when you do something wrong, that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, there is a consequence for that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I teach that to my sons. When you do something wrong,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: there is a consequence.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So as an adult, I fully understood the consequence. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: so what I was doing was I was making some
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: decisions that was causing some consequences in my life that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: was delaying my happiness, delaying my progress, causing my business
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not to go the way it could go, so forth
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and so on. Well, what I started doing was I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: took out this insurance policy called prayer and I started
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: putting it in my mix on a daily basis. And
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: then I started putting it in my mix, you know, two,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: three times a day. And then I found myself using
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it all the time. And then I really started putting
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: it in when I didn't need any help. When I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't in trouble, I started putting insurance in. I started
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: making deposits into the bank. I started paying my premiums down.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And prayer is like a premium. You just pay into it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Then when situations started coming up now, That prayer that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I had put in, those premiums I had paid, it
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: started preventing me from making the decisions I was making
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in the past. Thus, I didn't have to suffer the consequences. Thus,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: my businesses didn't have to be delayed in its progress
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: because I had put some payments on some premiums. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: had taken out an insurance policy with my life, my
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: real life. I'm talking about your life where you make
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: your day-to-day decisions in. I'm not talking about, see, life
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: insurance is only good if you die. God has a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: policy that's available for you while you're living. See, in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: order for an insurance policy to pay, something bad got
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to happen. Now, there may be some others out there
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know nothing about, but all the ones I got,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: my car insurance, they only come into play if I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: have an accident. I have an accident insurance policy where
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: if something happens to me, I got accident. I got
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: my voices covered in case something happened to that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I got that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But I got to not be able to talk to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: cash that one.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You understand? I got homeowner's insurance.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Nothing show up on my homeowner's insurance unless it's a flood,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a fire, a theft. Something bad got to happen for
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: my insurance to even make sense. When you take out
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the policy with your heavenly father, when you pay the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: premiums of prayer, and that's all it costs, man. You
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: ain't got to have no money for this policy.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I put into the policy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It pays me dividends and benefits for living. Ain't nothing
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: got to go wrong for me to cash in on
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: this policy. I use this policy for good things. I'll
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: give you an example. I use this policy to ask
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: God to watch over my family when I travel. Make
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the decisions to pay your premiums in prayer.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Talk to your Heavenly Father. Get you some insurance in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: your life.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And when you have little things like that, keep on stepping, man.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: God loves you, man. Man, I sure hope you talk
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to God today because guess what? He sure would like
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to hear from you. That's for sure.
