- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: day on this Wednesday. Uh wow, new year, Steve new
- 0:07Speaker 1: you yeah, but you got here's my clothes remarks. You know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I was this is a new year, you know, and
- 0:15Speaker 1: people that you're still meeting people going hey, happy New Year.
- 0:18Speaker 1: You know. I think after the tenth you should stop
- 0:21Speaker 1: saying Happy New Year. It's ten days in. I think
- 0:24Speaker 1: we all to make that to cut off point at
- 0:26Speaker 1: least the tenth. After the tenth you ain't saying Happy
- 0:29Speaker 1: New Year. We were in it now. I think everybody should,
- 0:37Speaker 1: like I said at the beginning, start twenty twenty five
- 0:41Speaker 1: off with two things. Gratitude and determination. I mean, you've
- 0:49Speaker 1: got to be grateful. I mean, when you look at
- 0:51Speaker 1: this number, twenty twenty five, that's a big number man.
- 0:55Speaker 1: And the older you are, the bigger, the bigger you
- 0:59Speaker 1: realize this number is. I mean, if you'd have told
- 1:02Speaker 1: me in nineteen sixty five that I would be living
- 1:06Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, that was unthinkable for me. Now
- 1:11Speaker 1: I was a little boy back then. Twenty twenty five,
- 1:14Speaker 1: what are you talking about? In the year nineteen ninety nine,
- 1:18Speaker 1: Remember when all of that was going on, people was
- 1:20Speaker 1: predicting the end of the world. In two thousand, I
- 1:22Speaker 1: went out and bought a generator, just in case somebody
- 1:26Speaker 1: flipped the switch and cut the power off. You know,
- 1:28Speaker 1: I went and got me a generator, getting ready, and
- 1:31Speaker 1: nothing happened and all that that. That was twenty five
- 1:34Speaker 1: years ago. As I'm going into twenty twenty five, I'm
- 1:38Speaker 1: going in with two things. First of all, gratitude. I'm
- 1:41Speaker 1: just grateful to God let me live. I can't believe
- 1:44Speaker 1: He has let me live this long. I can't believe
- 1:48Speaker 1: He has blessed me with the amount of health that
- 1:50Speaker 1: I have, the amount of the will that I have,
- 1:54Speaker 1: the ability to think rationally, to speak, to talk, whatever
- 1:59Speaker 1: measure of health you you should be healthy. I mean
- 2:01Speaker 1: you should be grateful. Now. I know some of us
- 2:03Speaker 1: are not as healthy as we like to be, but man,
- 2:06Speaker 1: you still hear. But on top this gratitude is the
- 2:10Speaker 1: way that you get more things given to you. Do
- 2:13Speaker 1: you know? And you have to understand this. The more
- 2:15Speaker 1: grateful you are, the more grateful, the more grateful you are,
- 2:21Speaker 1: the more things God will give you to be grateful for.
- 2:24Speaker 1: The more gratitude you show, the more things He will
- 2:28Speaker 1: give you to show gratitude about. The more times you
- 2:32Speaker 1: say thank you, the more stuff He will give you
- 2:35Speaker 1: to be thankful for. I'm trying to get you to
- 2:38Speaker 1: understand it, however, I need to say it to you.
- 2:41Speaker 1: But the more giving of gratitude you do in twenty
- 2:44Speaker 1: twenty five, the more things He will do for you
- 2:47Speaker 1: to be grateful. Because what God is, He's a just God.
- 2:51Speaker 1: God understands that if you are complaining about what you
- 2:55Speaker 1: have right now, why would he give you some more?
- 2:59Speaker 1: Let me just think about it. That's fair, ain't it?
- 3:02Speaker 1: Ain't that fair? If I've given you this and you're
- 3:05Speaker 1: complaining about this, why would I give you more when
- 3:10Speaker 1: this has caused you nothing but misery to complain about?
- 3:13Speaker 1: You know, some people, man, you complain yourself out of
- 3:16Speaker 1: a blessing. You gotta stop that. In twenty twenty five,
- 3:20Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm still living in this house. Whoa whoa, whoa,
- 3:24Speaker 1: whoa whoah. Back up a little bit. How about you?
- 3:27Speaker 1: You can't believe you still living? And how can't how
- 3:31Speaker 1: you can't believe you still living in this house that
- 3:36Speaker 1: God gave you? Remember that was a time when you
- 3:38Speaker 1: asked him for that house. Do you remember that. You know. See,
- 3:43Speaker 1: sometimes man, we get stuck because we get stuck in
- 3:45Speaker 1: the gratitude phase. Remember when you ask God for that car,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and now that car has gotten old. You see, you
- 3:53Speaker 1: stop being grateful for the car. So now since you
- 3:56Speaker 1: ain't grateful for that car, why would God give you
- 3:59Speaker 1: another car? To understand, sometimes we get stuck in our
- 4:02Speaker 1: gratitude and we can't move forward because we don't have
- 4:05Speaker 1: no gratitude. You remember when you needed a place to
- 4:08Speaker 1: stay and God gave it to you. It may not
- 4:10Speaker 1: be ultimately what you wanted, but I remember when you
- 4:13Speaker 1: just wanted that apartment. I mean, when you just wanted
- 4:15Speaker 1: to get in somewhere and you got in it. Now
- 4:17Speaker 1: you're complaining about it, Well, now he's just going wold.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Every time I give you something you asked me for,
- 4:23Speaker 1: you end up complaining about it. So let me stop
- 4:26Speaker 1: giving you stuff. Don't you understand You've got to get
- 4:31Speaker 1: more gratitude. The second thing I'm going into twenty twenty
- 4:34Speaker 1: five with is determination. I am determined. I am determined
- 4:40Speaker 1: to do God's will. I am determined to be a
- 4:44Speaker 1: better person. I am determined to allow God more purpose
- 4:49Speaker 1: in my life. I am determined to ask God more
- 4:53Speaker 1: and more to order my stelf. I am determined to
- 4:57Speaker 1: ask God what is his will in my life? You
- 5:00Speaker 1: know how many plans I've made that God allowed me
- 5:04Speaker 1: to make because he gives us the power choice, but
- 5:07Speaker 1: they weren't really what he wanted me to do. But
- 5:09Speaker 1: since he created us and he gave us the power choice,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you know, we get that decision right. And how many
- 5:16Speaker 1: times He's had allowed these choices I've made to go
- 5:20Speaker 1: down the path I chose to go down, and then
- 5:22Speaker 1: he had to show me along in the way that
- 5:24Speaker 1: ain't what I want you to do. So this year,
- 5:27Speaker 1: I'm more determined to find out His will for me.
- 5:30Speaker 1: So I have plans, I have aspirations, I have things
- 5:33Speaker 1: that I've set up that I want to accomplish, but
- 5:36Speaker 1: I'm also asking God to make sure that this is
- 5:38Speaker 1: aligned with your will. And if it ain't for me,
- 5:41Speaker 1: he didn't show me quickly that it's not for me. No,
- 5:43Speaker 1: let me do like I've been doing. Let me go
- 5:45Speaker 1: down this Donnybrook path for a year and a half
- 5:48Speaker 1: to discover that ain't the path you wanted me on,
- 5:50Speaker 1: because let me stop doing what I want to do
- 5:53Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm just more determined to submit
- 5:59Speaker 1: to God's will in my life. So that's my plan
- 6:02Speaker 1: for this this year in twenty twenty five. I'm in
- 6:04Speaker 1: twenty twenty five with more gratitude, and I'm walking in
- 6:07Speaker 1: with a whole lot more determination. Now my wheel power
- 6:10Speaker 1: is strong. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not
- 6:12Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I I just believe that God
- 6:15Speaker 1: got me on the course, and I'm determined to get that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And no amount of haters it's gonna shake me off
- 6:20Speaker 1: course this year. Hate if you won't, hate if you will.
- 6:24Speaker 1: When you hit through, I'm in God's hands. So I
- 6:27Speaker 1: invite y'all to do the same. More gratitude, more determination,
- 6:30Speaker 1: y'all have yourself great expect even with the downfalls. And
- 6:36Speaker 1: the problem is that for our faces. I'll give you
