10
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.959
another segment of setting it Straight with
Mss Gray. I have my fabulous co

11
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.920
host, Pastor Miguel la Morena,
right over there. He's just he's not

12
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.680
really around the corner, but he's
over there. I can see him.

13
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.280
Good evening, sir, How are
you? I'm doing well? How about

14
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:56.000
yourself? It's Monday, It's Monday, and to do it all over again,

15
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.439
doing it all over again. You're
doing it all over again. In

16
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.359
a different way, but we're doing
it all over again. Amen and Amen.

17
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.680
Well, the other two of our
co hosts are not with us tonight,

18
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.919
so let's keep them in prayer.
Tray is Miss Abner is not feeling

19
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.360
well and Miss Belsia is in a
class certification class so she thought she'd be

20
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.439
be here by now. But she
had to text me and she sounded really

21
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.680
down that she was not gonna be
on tonight. So I said, that's

22
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.319
okay, do what you have to
do, but let's pray. Father God,

23
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.039
we just thank you, We praise
you. We give you glo read

24
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.520
for you alone are worded to be
praise. We thank you God. I

25
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.039
love you so much. We love
you so much. Jesus Holy Spirit.

26
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.919
We love you so much. Thank
you for provision. Thank you for safety.

27
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.000
Thank you for meeting us where we're
at. Thank you, Father God

28
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.120
for not allowing us to stay stuck
at where we were at. Father God,

29
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.080
because we know if the kingdom work
has to be done. Thank you

30
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.240
Lord. More importantly, that you
trust us, You trust your children,

31
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.680
You trust that once we gave our
lives back to you, that we will

32
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.280
be front and center and ready to
do whatever it is that we have to

33
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.960
do for kingdom business and the sake
of the kingdom. Lord, we asked

34
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.719
that anybody viewing tonight, whether it's
tonight or in the future, that their

35
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.520
life changes, that they take away
something from the segment, something from the

36
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.599
discussion. Don't let them leave here
the same way they can. Let them

37
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.800
reflect and whatever changes they decide to
make, as long as it's positive,

38
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.400
positive, and it's in you,
so shall it be. We love you

39
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.080
so much. Lord, We get
behind the cross. Now this is your

40
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.360
show, where your children, we're
your people, set your captives free.

41
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.879
In Jesus name, we pray Amen
and amen and men. So Pastor Miguel

42
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.560
has something he would like to kick
the show off with and to night we're

43
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.000
talking still talking about freedom physically,
mentally, we're going to go a little

44
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.520
deeper mentally, spiritually and financially.
So we're going to go a little deeper.

45
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.479
So hang in there, viewers,
hang in there. We promise you

46
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.360
it will not be born and it
will change your life. Sir, take

47
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.199
it away. Oh it's great,
Thank you again for being so flexible.

48
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:30.160
But I heard something yesterday and I
found it to be very impactful because we've

49
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:39.120
been talking about independence and what we
have to overcome so we can be able

50
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:47.199
to feel the freedom and feel the
change of bondage to be broken so we

51
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:54.920
can be free. But what does
that really look like? You know?

52
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.319
One of the things that I have
learned in my journey and what I've been

53
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:09.160
teaching is for us to be transformed, we have to submit ourselves Christ.

54
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:19.879
We have to submit ourselves to God
completely. And last week we were talking

55
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:27.839
about many different things and I said, Okay, I'm working on a sermon

56
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.920
called No U Turns. And I
was just like, Okay, this sounds

57
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:38.279
like a pretty good opportunity for us
to kind of talk about it. So

58
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:44.560
what I wanted to do and what
I heard. This is not a science

59
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.839
experiment. So I do have my
safety goggles on with my glasses, so

60
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.079
I'll be okay. But one of
the things that I want to share with

61
00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:03.399
you is that God, it's like
this cup of hot water, okay,

62
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:11.360
And this is what God makes available
to us all of this because God is

63
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:18.759
pure, God is transparent. God
doesn't hide anything from us. And you'll

64
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:25.800
have Christians and you'll have people that
will say, oh, I know God,

65
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.360
I know how God works. We
are kind of like a tea bag

66
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:42.600
where when we want to dip ourselves
into God, but we don't stay in

67
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:48.040
there long enough because we want to
live our own lives. Oh, I

68
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.680
want to hear about God. So
this is Sunday. We're in church,

69
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.439
We're listening to God. As you
notice, the water hasn't changed. So

70
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:09.079
we're stuck between we continue to live
our lives or do we submit ourselves totally.

71
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.680
Then as things get difficult, very
similar to the children of Israel.

72
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.319
Oh, we were slaves for four
hundred and thirty years, but we want

73
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.480
to go back to Egypt, and
then the bag comes out. We want

74
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.199
to go back to the way it
used to be. That's the way we

75
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.399
used to know. But we don't
allow God to change us, God to

76
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:41.480
affect us. When you give yourself
completely to God and you study the Word

77
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.800
and you are involved completely with God
and you're listening to him and you're walking

78
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:55.519
his path, what's going to happen
over a period of time is the water

79
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:03.240
begins change. And when when the
water changes, this is the significance of

80
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.199
how you change. Do you see
how the water has changed colors? Because

81
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:18.639
now we're submerged with Christ, we're
submerged in his word. We're living inside

82
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.040
the living water, and this is
where we don't thirst anymore. This is

83
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:33.080
where we get fed. And when
we continue being submerged over time, it's

84
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:41.600
no longer clear because now we are
integrated, we are consumed by God and

85
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.639
we're living our life according to the
Holy Spirit. So this is what transformation

86
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:56.559
looks like when we allow ourselves to
be dipped into the water. That's how

87
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.919
real change begins. When I when
I heard this and I pictured it in

88
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.440
my head, I said, Wow, what a great visual for someone to

89
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:16.559
see what real transformation will look like. Because God is making it available to

90
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.440
us. That's why it's crystal clear. But now that we're submerged into it,

91
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.440
we're connected, and that's what it's
all about. It's being connected to

92
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:31.480
Christ. So that's something that I
wanted to share. We just experienced Independence

93
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:39.759
Day on Thursday, and it really
you're welcome country see it, and it

94
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:46.200
really allows us to see what it
really looks like because we just can't say

95
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.440
we're a Christian and not be submerged
because then we're living a double life.

96
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.279
And living a double life is twice
using the word double, you're working twice

97
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.960
as hard. When if when by
making the one decision, when you're focused

98
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.440
on Christ and you're focused on learning, and you're focused on absorbing what the

99
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:16.159
Lord and the Holy Spirit has to
say, you don't have to work because

100
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.840
the Cross did the work for us. And when we experience what the Cross

101
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:31.240
did for us, now we become
the living witness, the living testimony of

102
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:43.639
how God changed us to be part
of Trinity, being part of the family.

103
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.960
That's why I asked Miss Gray if
we can do that because that message

104
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.759
was pressing on me and I needed
to share it with our viewers. Thank

105
00:10:52.799 --> 00:11:00.120
you so much, because yes,
that visual hits it home. Don't you

106
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.960
have to continue to work at it? Yes, Misty, that's I was

107
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.799
going to get into that once you
make the determination that you know what,

108
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.080
I'm sick and tired of being stuck. I'm sick and tired of worrying.

109
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.600
I'm sick and tired of this.
I'm sick and tired because that's sicking and

110
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.440
attiring is not in the Worrying is
not getting you out of anything. It's

111
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.240
just keeping you like that Gerbil the
hamster on the on that round wheel,

112
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.879
that's spinning wheel. So when you
make up your mind saying you know what,

113
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.000
enough is enough? Now enough is
enough. I've got sixty six books

114
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.919
that say to me in chapters that
say to me that you've made a covenant

115
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.320
with me, that you love me, you made me in your image,

116
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.480
that you love me regardless, and
that you will as long as I live

117
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.799
my life to you and listen out
for you. You got everything else covered.

118
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.639
I kid you not, just today, yesterday, and this is every

119
00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:00.720
day. But just today I was
doing something for my daughter has now become

120
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.480
a legitimate business person, and oh
thank you Jesus. But I did some

121
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.720
things to help her out because I
know she's still in school. She still

122
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.120
got to go to certain do her
thing, and I did it. And

123
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:20.320
I kid you not. I was
checking a certain legal entity to make sure

124
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.039
to see if everything was uploaded yet, and it wasn't. So I between

125
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.480
yesterday and today ministering to people,
praying. I got up this morning singing

126
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.240
my song and I was singing to
my dog and she just looks up at

127
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.799
me and she's like, okay,
mom is on that spield. But I

128
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.399
was singing to the top of my
voice. I had three sets of kids

129
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.679
here that are sleep adding care.
I'm just giving him glory, giving him

130
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.399
praise. I did a ten minute
workout because I was trying my best not

131
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.159
to pick a look on that website
to see if things were uploaded, because

132
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.279
like why, I gave it to
God. I gave it to God.

133
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.240
I said, I can't do no
more. I've done everything I can for

134
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.360
her. I've done everything you told
me to do. I'm done, okay,

135
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.720
and you get tempted, you get
tempted. I want to just look,

136
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.080
let me just look one more.
No, no, no, and

137
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.879
I'm fighting with my first I started
out crazy and then ended up doing doing

138
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.440
a fast, ended up doing the
fast. I didn't eat till later on,

139
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.480
and but I didn't miss food.
I was just studying my word and

140
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.240
I'm just singing. And then I
went to my YouTube channel and I had

141
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.559
to focused the profits that are uh
that are prophets. I had to I

142
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:43.279
listened. I just listened. I
immersed myself with spiritual things so I wouldn't

143
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.320
get on my phone for nothing else. I went and I cut the TV

144
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.600
on and then oh no, I'm
sorry. I every thirty days I revisit

145
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.720
my have not because you're asked not
vision board. It's on. It's on

146
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.240
a clipboard on my favorite uh uh
stationery and the day is it ate,

147
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.720
So I do it the eighth of
every month. And so I said,

148
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.159
oh, I'm not doing anything,
so cut the TV on and I let

149
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.480
it go to the gospel chapel.
So all I can do is have praise

150
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.440
and worship. Satan could not touch
me. He could not do anything.

151
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.639
He didn't make me look at Nobody
bothered me. And I'm telling you one

152
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:26.960
hundred supernatural manifestations favor overflow I experienced
in the last thirty days, just to

153
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.840
let you know that all this I'm
doing. Then Belissia text me. She

154
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.480
said, MO, I'm calling you. I said, oh, I didn't

155
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.000
hear you. So I go to
her. I said, what's going on?

156
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.159
She said, what does this mean? Your information has been uploaded.

157
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.080
It will get take us three days
to upload it, but to appear on

158
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.679
the website. But it is here. It is done, and here's your

159
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.919
proof if you need it. I
couldn't even cry, y'all. I couldn't

160
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.399
even cry. I couldn't even I
was trying to cry to give him praise.

161
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.200
Thank you you did it. I
didn't have to look at it have

162
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.000
to It's done. And that's what
he will do. While you're doing what

163
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.879
he tells you to do in the
front, he's got your back. While

164
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.279
you're doing it. In the quiet
place, he's got you. He will

165
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.399
lift you up. He will draw
mento you. So when we're talking about

166
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.000
physically, physically your health, people
of God, you've got to get in

167
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.600
shape. I don't care how you
do it. I don't know what's here.

168
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.759
I don't know what the attack is
going to be. I don't know

169
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.960
on which side north southeast, west, I don't know. But all I

170
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.960
keep hearing constantly is we've got to
be able to endure. And it's not

171
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.200
the endurance of you know, putting
up with things, or you know,

172
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.960
the inflation. No, no,
no, it's physically you've got to be

173
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.360
able to. Yes what they was
it Saturday. I went three places,

174
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:03.600
y'all three places, and I was
so exhausted that heat here in Orlando.

175
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.240
I was so exhausted. I'm like, Lord, Jesus, please let me

176
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.840
make it home. I mean,
my I was just sweating through my clothes

177
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.799
and everything, and I couldn't even
wipe anything fast enough. And I'm like

178
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.639
Jesus, but thank goodness, my
breathing has calmed down, so I know

179
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:23.360
my working out is being becoming effected. But you got to get in shape.

180
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.720
You gotta get his shape. I'm
not saying go runner, five k

181
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.440
marathon and stuff like that. I'm
not telling you that. I'm just needing

182
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.039
physically. You got to physically get
yourself, get yourself some habits, reduce,

183
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.840
you know, get rid of some
habits. Whatever you have to do

184
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.759
tonight, I'm here to tell you
do whatever you need to do to make

185
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:52.159
sure you're comfortable in Christ. You're
comfortable in him. He is your comfort

186
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.919
zone. Okay. Financially that's the
big one. Now for those of you

187
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:03.200
who's working at a job who's been
the payment that does not still don't allow

188
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.240
the ends to meet, you're gonna
have to step back and take a look

189
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.240
at that. What's some side things
you can do where you can make some

190
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.079
create another stream of income. If
you like to bake, I'll be baking

191
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.160
you on social media. Show.
Hey I've got cakes for forty five dollars.

192
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.519
I think cakes are up to eighty
dollars now, but you know I

193
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:29.640
got I make cakes, I make
pies, or I do crocheing. Create

194
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.319
the side hustle it's your hobby,
but create the side hustle, because if

195
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.960
you're not making the money enough money
to deal with your bills, I don't

196
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.039
know what else to say to you. Businesses are closing. We already know

197
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.880
that it's only gonna get worse the
closer we get to this presidential election.

198
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:52.640
It's gonna get worse. Everybody's panicking. So you need to take a look

199
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.359
at your finances. Now I can
tell you seed in your way and pay

200
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.160
beyond, which is beyond your tithe
and offering. That is the key.

201
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.759
That's one of the mysteries of revelation. Planting a seed, sending a seed

202
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.720
somewhere, and that's financial. Now, I know, mankind has had to

203
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.079
make it more applicable. So when
they fast, they don't fast from just

204
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.480
from food. They fast from using
the cell phone, using the computer.

205
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.079
I get it. That's what man
do. We're gonna they're gonna try to

206
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.680
compromise. They're gonna try to put
some other things into it. You know,

207
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.880
no fasting means you put turn the
plate over. There's no place else

208
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.319
in the Bible that says, oh, these are other things you could consecrate

209
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.079
yourself. I've not seen it past. You you correct me if I'm wrong

210
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.839
that you know, clean your camels, you know, washed, you know,

211
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.119
set, sweep the sand off the
you know, I've not seen it

212
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:52.599
when they say consecrate, when they
say fast, Jesus said, And the

213
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.200
fourth feeding of the four thousand,
when he looked, he was walking,

214
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.519
and I'm gonna let you speak past. But he was walking, he happen

215
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.000
to sit down and say, oh, oh, my goodness, what are

216
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.279
all these people? He said,
he counted about four thousand men, not

217
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:07.880
women and children. He told the
disciples, you got to go get them

218
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.680
something. He just fad the five
thousand. But the very next chapter he's

219
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.759
feeding the four thousand. It's four
thousand just men he counted. He's counting,

220
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.079
but women and children were He said, go get something something, unless

221
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:25.160
they think I called the fast.
That's key. God needs to call you

222
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.359
to the past. I know churches
do it and stuff. I have no

223
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.839
problem. That's not an issue.
I'm not saying that. But you have

224
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:34.200
to have your own time set of
setting, setting aside and turning over the

225
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.319
plate. Yes, sir, wow. What I was gonna say is you

226
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.839
don't want to say that you're gonna
fast and saying, well, I'm gonna

227
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:48.759
fast from Starbucks and go to dunkin
Donuts. You know it doesn't work that

228
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.039
way. And you you're a spot
on miss Gray. You know fasting.

229
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.319
You know, at one point in
time, I figured, well, fasting

230
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.440
is just giving up something for a
period of time. Then the whole point

231
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:10.599
is But when you go back to
it, what did you learn? And

232
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:22.599
that to me is absolutely essential because
I was between appointments last week and it

233
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.680
was like at a very interesting time, my back to back appointments. It

234
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:32.960
was in between where I normally eat
lunch and then dinner, and it was

235
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.279
around three o'clock and I'm like,
wow, I really need to eat something

236
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.920
because I'm hungry. But I said, you know what, Lord, you

237
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.599
got me through my fast because I
focused on you. I prayed on you,

238
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:45.160
and that's what I'm gonna do right
now. I'm going to focus on

239
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.319
you. I'm going to give you
thanks for the opportunity to help your children

240
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:57.680
with insurance and turn it over to
you. Hunger was gone. My hunger

241
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:06.440
was gone because I focused on the
one feeds me at that point when I

242
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.799
and the appointment took an hour and
a half and by the time I got

243
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.759
done. I'm like, wow,
it's four thirty. I was able then

244
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.039
to grab something, but I thanked
God to get me through. What I

245
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.000
needed to get through was because of
Him. And I know people are on

246
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.359
medication and they have to have food. Well, one of my blood pressure

247
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.839
medications that I take, I'm supposed
to take in the morning requires no food,

248
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.759
So I definitely can fast from six
am or whenever I wake up in

249
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:44.720
the am, to twelve noon or
to one o'clock or to three as long

250
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:49.119
as when I eat, I eat. I take the other medication that requires

251
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.759
food. Some of my supplements,
my vitamins, don't require food, so

252
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.720
I sip a little water. I'm
done now for me, I'll go back

253
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.960
to a couple of things I've learned
along the way. The reason why I

254
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.279
pray, I play. I play
gospel music is that makes the ending,

255
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.960
that makes the devil himself very angry, so he can't he don't have access

256
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.400
to me because I've got gospel music
turned the knobs turned up a little bit.

257
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.559
And that's that's what you know,
that's he can't he can't hear what

258
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.000
I'm saying. And also I pray
in the spirit and or I pray scriptures,

259
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.160
so that really makes him angry.
So he leaves me alone. He

260
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.279
leaves me alone. The phone will
be trying, you know, any other

261
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.640
time, the phone will be ringing
and all that kind of And that's what

262
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.359
the voice messaging is all about.
Cut the phone off, let it go

263
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.599
to voice message, mute it.
I sit now, and it's been over

264
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.759
ninety days. I'm sitting with my
phone muted. It's right next to me.

265
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.240
And if I happen to Michigan's I'm
nodding off or I'm doing something,

266
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.559
I'll call you back because I'll see
that you called. But I love it,

267
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.799
and I love my voice. My
ringtone is the Sandford is Sun music.

268
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.200
I love it. But I don't
want to hear anything. I just

269
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.319
want to I want to be in
a quiet place. I gotta practice silence

270
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.079
because I'm a loud person. I
project, you know, and stuff I

271
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.000
talk. I'm a speaker. I
just like the quietness at times. I

272
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.640
really do. So now going back
to you know, you have to do

273
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.960
what you need to do for yourself, guys, okay, because like I

274
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.799
said, I don't know what.
And Saturday morning, when I got up,

275
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.000
I was telling my oldest son.
I said, we got to praise

276
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.799
God. You got to prayer.
I said, don I know somewhere in

277
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.200
the world that at least three people
didn't wake up and the Lord. Then

278
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.599
I turned I turned the TV on. It happened to be on the news

279
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.079
station at an odd news station,
and they were talking about there were seventeen

280
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:55.359
murders in Chicago between the fourth of
July and that Saturday. It was the

281
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:59.279
football player young man who just got
I think he just got drafted. He

282
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.079
was in a car accident and three
of them died. Then somebody went and

283
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.519
shot up some people and there was
five of them dead. And it ended

284
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.759
up thirty one people. Thirty one
people as of Saturday morning didn't make it.

285
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:18.160
They didn't see Saturday. I just
said three and I put it on

286
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.079
my Facebook page adding it up thirty
one people. So we got to praising.

287
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.279
Why you can praise God, he
will, He will map it out

288
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.759
for you. And I've shared this
story with you all. You know before

289
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.319
when I first separated from my second
husband. You know I child support is

290
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.720
not an income. It goes to
the children, and that's for my twins.

291
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:41.160
And I was like, I was, I had my own office.

292
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:47.359
I had my practice. I was
doing my voiceover work and my acting work,

293
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.519
my commercial. But it wasn't enough. It wasn't steady money. I

294
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.839
need steady income. So I said, okay, Lord, I have to

295
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.000
go and find a job. Now, Lord, I need a job that

296
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.680
I could work thirty six hours a
week. I know it's going to include

297
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.160
a week somewhere. And I had
a condo and I had the ur model

298
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.000
Nissan Armada. So my bill,
those two bills on the first of the

299
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.960
month, was over fifteen hundred dollars. So Lord, now you listen,

300
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.160
this is how I was praying.
This is prayer. This is prayer.

301
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:21.319
Lord, I need that first paycheck
to be over fifteen hundred so many dollars

302
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:29.000
and thirty four cents. That's praying
strategically thirty six hours, one weekend,

303
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.960
flexible schedule so I could decide,
and the paycheck's first paycheck had to be

304
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:41.519
over fifteen hundred dollars after taxes went
the Holy Spirit said, hey, go

305
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.720
buy your pill box first before you
go pick up the twins from school.

306
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.039
Went to the pill box. There's
my NSAW National Association of Social Worker manual,

307
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.000
little newsletter and in the very back. They have every job for social

308
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.759
workers from here to Hawaii. Literally
from here to Hawaii. I looked Inland,

309
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.319
I looked Florida, looked down in
Orlando local Hospital looking for discharge planners.

310
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.599
You have to have your master's in
social work or masters in health administration.

311
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:17.119
I called the number. The young
lady who answered would eventually be my

312
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.799
supervisor. Supervisor, so we already
had a great relationship because I was making

313
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.200
her laugh and everything. She said, get me your resume as soon as

314
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:26.480
possible. I said, well,
I come from a mental health background.

315
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.720
She said, I don't care.
Get it to me. I said,

316
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.200
I'll get it to you in the
morning, no problem. That was a

317
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.839
Monday. That Tuesday next ding,
I'm being interviewed by two supervisors. On

318
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.920
a Thursday and Monday, I was
at their orientation. And guess what.

319
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.160
I worked thirty six hours a week, one weekend out of the month at

320
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.559
three different locations was my choice.
I was a floater, so I took

321
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.319
care took over the full timers positions. The only question I had for the

322
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:02.519
two supervisors during my interview was and
you guarantee me thirty six hours a week?

323
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.440
And they looked at each other and
said we can't. They forgot that

324
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:10.519
those full time discharge planners, at
least at those three hospital locations, had

325
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:17.720
not had a vacation in over a
year. I was the relief in two

326
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.160
years. I never went below thirty
six hours first paycheck after in two years,

327
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:29.599
over fifteen exactly what I asked for, including the change. I didn't

328
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:33.079
even know I have been there year. I got a certificate congratulations, you've

329
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.559
been with us, and yes,
I've been with y'all a year. And

330
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.359
I lost weight because everybody took the
stairs when they were orientating me. Everybody

331
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:45.119
took the status, do we have
an elevator? But I had to go

332
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:47.200
behind them. So they took the
stairs, I took the stairs. We

333
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.720
only have a thirty minute. God
seems to have your back, yes,

334
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.680
sir, but it took a minute
for me to trust him. I had

335
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.480
to get rid of anger towards the
biological folks. I had to get rid

336
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.759
of the anger towards the ex hub, the first ex husband. I had

337
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.759
to get rid of the anger towards
a college professor. I had to get

338
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.359
rid of the anger. I had
to recognize I was angry. I didn't

339
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:08.920
know it was angry, because I'm
not an angry person. But you know,

340
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.799
I had a spiritual mother that Doug
and Doug and Dug and we were

341
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.359
together for years and she's you know, she would name it, nail it

342
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.359
and let's go, let's get it
out of you. Had no idea,

343
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.400
but I had to keep to a
point where I trusted God. Well,

344
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.039
I trusted God because he chose me. Not only he called me, but

345
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.319
he chose me. He trust that
once I got to him, I was

346
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.880
not gonna let him go. And
I've not let him go. And now

347
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.440
that I I don't have to think
a thing I could just I don't have

348
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:47.079
to ask. I don't have to
ask. I do pray. That's why

349
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.480
I could pray for other people.
I very rarely pray for myself because he's

350
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:53.519
already answered, He's already given me
the answer. I said, you know

351
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.240
what, God, I wonder,
I said, now, I said,

352
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.640
okay, already I wondered in my
mind. I was like, oh that's

353
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.119
okay. Next thing I know,
I'll get an email, I get a

354
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.279
Facebook notice, I get a YouTube. I said, Oh, you're real,

355
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.680
funny, real, you had me
laughing last week. I said,

356
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.000
oh, you're so funny. You
are so funny, Like I'm gonna go

357
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.799
to christ recreeing just because it's donut
Day. You're really funny. I got

358
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.880
to travel a christ recreed. Okay, I said you're really funny. That's

359
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.440
okay. My whole point is this
is what you got to do something.

360
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.680
And you heard the saying in order
to get to a place you've never been,

361
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.799
you got to do things that you've
never done, and you've got to

362
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.119
trust them. Guys. Now,
I need to know the three of you,

363
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.240
the four of you, there are
five of you that follow us faithfully.

364
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.440
I need to know that you trust
God period. Just like you're hoping

365
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.559
that we're on and we're on live
every Monday night and we're gonna say something

366
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.960
that's gonna just be an ah ha
moment for you. Just like you have

367
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.680
that expectation, I need you to
reverse that and give it to God.

368
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.319
If you could do anything for me, and I'm just speaking for myself,

369
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:03.000
if you could do do anything for
me, just like you trust that whatever

370
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.480
we're gonna say and talk about is
gonna be like, oh wow, I

371
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.000
didn't know that, Oh wow,
I could do that. That's it.

372
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:18.279
Yeah. Yeah, But we're trusting
in him. I was telling a few

373
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.920
people this weekend and pastor, you
come on in. I was telling I

374
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.039
said, well, you gotta I'm
resting in the Lord. And they're like,

375
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.240
yeah, but yeah, I gotta
do this, and I say,

376
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.079
no, you'll have your keep,
you'll keep moving, you'll be actively doing

377
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.359
something, but you're resting in him, totally depending on him. So God,

378
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.480
I got this thing to do.
I got this other thing to do.

379
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.480
You make it sound easy, Misty
is not. It's not. It's

380
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:47.559
it's getting into that hot water and
saying, you know what. I tried

381
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.160
it my way and it did not
work. It caused me more debt,

382
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:57.000
It caused me more pain. It
calls me more sorrow. I made the

383
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:03.480
wrong I made some mistakes. I
made some strange decisions. It is never

384
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.000
gonna be easy. And the closer
you get to him, it get and

385
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.160
it's lonely. I'm very fortunate.
I got a team around me, and

386
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.960
it's my inner circle is very,
very small because everybody else I'm teaching.

387
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.720
I have to get over the feeling
of not being worthy. Mickey, you

388
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.160
that's why Jesus came for you.
Jesus said, I got him. Daddy,

389
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.079
I got him, Mickey, she's
gonna come. She's coming, She's

390
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.720
coming. If you just give it, give me a minute, I'll get

391
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:37.480
him. I'll get it, because
she's been chosen, not only called,

392
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:45.640
but chosen. He came for you, Mickey and miss Gray. Uh,

393
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.440
you you really have read my mind, because remember over the weekend we were

394
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:53.160
talking about it, and we went
I told you that I had signed up

395
00:31:53.160 --> 00:32:01.079
for this course. And in this
course, I I got an acronym.

396
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:07.240
And it's so appropriate. And and
the glory be to our Lord, the

397
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:13.680
Savior of Jesus Christ, who who
has made this possible. And I'm gonna

398
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:21.680
give you a quick acronym that's called
fast a sd P. We're talking about

399
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.599
fasting. How this is. This
is not coincidence, folks, This is

400
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.400
the Holy Spirit working and and this
is what I mean. Uh. The

401
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.400
first letter F means forget, forget
the old ways, start doing something different.

402
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:45.319
Come the tea bag, learn how
to in get involved with the Holy

403
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.559
Spirit, learning the word. The
ways of the world is the old ways.

404
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:55.079
It's the non productive ways. It's
ways that's going to always disappoint you.

405
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:02.000
And and and by forgetting the old
ways, what you're doing is you're

406
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:12.599
allowing new information to penetrate, penetrate
your mind, penetrate your spirit so you

407
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.480
can be able to apply it.
So if I were to empty this water

408
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.240
out, now I've got room to
put new information in there. And then

409
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:28.720
you have the a for becoming active. And when you're becoming active, you

410
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:36.440
want to remind yourself schedule on your
calendar today, I'm going to read fifteen

411
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:40.440
minutes with the Bible. I'm going
to spend fifteen minutes today with Christ.

412
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:46.480
When you know what, you want
to keep it consistent, because with healthy

413
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:53.759
habits creates a new person when it
creates healthy habits, and that's where you

414
00:33:53.880 --> 00:34:01.119
really get to really activate connection.
Not only are you working vertically, but

415
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:07.559
you're also working horizontally, and that's
what's going to help out tremendously. Then

416
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:14.719
a state of mind, Now,
this is that self talk that we give

417
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:20.320
ourselves. If we're talking to ourselves
and we're saying, I am successful,

418
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:25.719
I am a new person, I
am different, I have transformed. You're

419
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:34.480
using different words to fix what you've
been told for so long. And then

420
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.920
the lies that you are hearing from
the spiritual world. You're not worthy,

421
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:45.159
you're not smart, you can't do
this, you can't get this new job,

422
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.320
you can't apply for that job because
you're not qualified. That's that state

423
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:55.840
of mind that you have to fix. And by fixing that, by changing

424
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:04.239
the way you approach things. And
then the last word is tea teach what

425
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:10.159
you've learned, you want to teach
others. And by you teaching others,

426
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:19.360
what's happening is you're solidifying what you've
learned. You're having a strong, firm,

427
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:29.079
concrete belief system from when you When
you apply all of those different the

428
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:35.840
different letters, you're going to become
a completely different person and you're going to

429
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.920
I kid you not today I sit
down as I speak with miss Gray,

430
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:51.840
I would have imagine I'd being a
podcast ten years ago. I would have

431
00:35:51.960 --> 00:36:02.440
never even imagined being faster. Are
you kidding me? But it all got

432
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:13.760
changed the minute I submitted, And
and I may we may have a debate

433
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:19.840
here, but I'm not a big
fan of the word commit, because every

434
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:29.239
January First, everybody commits losing weight, gving up smoking, giving up drinking.

435
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:36.800
When you commit, you're not completely
involved, You're you're always giving your

436
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:43.199
way, yourself a way out.
I'm a firm believer of surrendering, because

437
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:47.920
when you're in a war, you
surrender, you raise your hands. You're

438
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.599
saying, I'm not going to fight
anymore. I don't have any bullets,

439
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.840
I don't have a gun anymore.
I give up my own self to you,

440
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:07.840
Lord. And that's exactly what happened
to me in January two thy eleven.

441
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:15.480
I was put on my knees by
God and I just said, Lord,

442
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:22.280
I am done doing it the way
I think you have the plan.

443
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:28.159
I am your servant. I am
no longer a servant for me. I

444
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:34.960
am a servant you. I am
your slave. I will do what I

445
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.960
need to do. Praise you,
glorify your name, to be your living

446
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:52.000
witness how you've changed life. Amen. And by testimony of junior in college

447
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:58.440
studying with a major of psychology,
I had two psych exams on a Friday.

448
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:01.920
This is a Thursday, and I've
got all my books and stuff,

449
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:07.239
my note cards and everything you have
to get. You have to have almost

450
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.880
an A average for your major,
and I was double minoring as well,

451
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.199
and nothing was sticking. So that
time that was I'm gonna date myself.

452
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:21.679
Now. During that time, we're
just coming out with Shape magazine saying get

453
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.039
oxygen to your brain. So my
parents, I have the stereo out in

454
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:30.760
the garage, brought this this stereo
off, had it but all my life,

455
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:36.719
and I turned it on and I
played some rhythm RB and it was

456
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.559
the Jackson five and the Silvers and
Earth window fire. So I'm in the

457
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.440
living room dancing, just dancing,
trying to get the oxygen to the brain.

458
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.280
Cut a little sweat that I said, Okay, I'm ready now.

459
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.800
There was no air conditioned on.
My mother firmly believed in opening up all

460
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.000
the windows, but my bedroom windows
were not open. We had a ceiling

461
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:59.000
fan in the room that wasn't on, and the AC was not on.

462
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.119
Okay, So I'm sitting there on
the floor. I get back on the

463
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.039
floor. I'm so happy, and
I pick up the stuff and it looked

464
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.079
like it was Greek. I said, oh my god, I'm not only

465
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:14.280
go I'm gonna fail both exams.
And I begin to cry. And I

466
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:21.119
have been judged because my testimony wasn't
crucial and devastating and chaotic to others enough,

467
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.719
it was chaotic to me. That's
my major. I'm a junior in

468
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:30.480
college. And I cried and I
cried, and I find I said,

469
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.960
Okay, Jesus, I believe in
you. I know you're real. I'm

470
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:37.840
doing I'm telling you. I'm sure
you what I did. I'm on the

471
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:40.880
floor, but I do it this
Jesus, I know you're real. I'm

472
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.559
not making a deal with you,
but I need your help. I got

473
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.840
to not only pass my two exams, I got to get AI's on my

474
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.599
two exams. I don't know what
else to do. So if you can

475
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:58.159
help me, if you could just
help me, just this one time,

476
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:05.119
I will run for you and never
look back. I'll do whatever you tell

477
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.480
me to do. I will go
ahead and read that boy stop picking.

478
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:13.679
I'll pick up that Bible and study
it. I will do that. But

479
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.719
I need your help. And I
know my situation is nowhere near people who

480
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:22.920
are starving and marriages, relationships are
not good, and family really, I

481
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.079
know what, Jesus, this is
important to me. I believe you want

482
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.320
me to major in psychology because I'm
in counseling people since I was in high

483
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.079
school. So I think it's the
route I have to go. So if

484
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:40.480
you can help me, I would
appreciate it. And a coolness came and

485
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:47.079
circled me literally from my legs on
the floor. It circled and it got

486
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:50.880
up here. It was just and
I'm looking at my ceiling fan which was

487
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.360
not on. I know the ac
bother my windows were not open, and

488
00:40:53.519 --> 00:41:02.480
I'm Jesus, is this you?
And it stopped on me and it was

489
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:10.679
a coolness, and I'm like Jesus, And all of a sudden, just

490
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:15.840
as it came up, it went
down. It went down. I could

491
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.440
feel the heat and I'm like,
okay, No, I did not know

492
00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:22.559
in my chosen path. I just
knew that I had no I tried it

493
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.239
my way, and my way wasn't
working. Even though I was a junior

494
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:30.280
in college. I changed my study
habits when I got in college and everything.

495
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.760
I just knew whatever I was doing, and I had to surrender and

496
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.239
talk about hands being up right there. I said, Jesus, if that

497
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.840
was you, thank you, and
I promise you you have my word.

498
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:46.760
I will never look back. I've
been running for him ever since. I

499
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.239
got one hundreds on both my exams
the next day, and I ended up

500
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:59.960
graduating with a three point eight with
the Robin social work. Didn't go continue

501
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:01.519
psychology because you have to get a
PhD. And I'm like I'm tired of

502
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:04.920
school, and I heard about the
School of Social Worker, and that's how

503
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:08.000
I became a social worker. That's
my testimony. But you're following what you're

504
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:13.280
meant for. Yes, yeah,
yeah, it's just you know, and

505
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.440
then he added, I always you
know how you people will say, oh,

506
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.599
when I was a little girl,
But when I was a little boy,

507
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.880
I always wanted to do this.
Well, I really didn't have that.

508
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.559
I can remember being in Catholic school
and I loved singing, I love

509
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:30.239
entertaining, I love speech debate.
So I said, well, god,

510
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.320
you know, one day, if
I could get to the stage, if

511
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:36.519
I can get back to the stage. And sure, years later, I'm

512
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:42.639
in Orlando. I'm working at the
History Center as Bessie Coleman, Mary Maclobathune

513
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.760
and Marianne Carroll historical characters, women
who made history and getting paid for it.

514
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.400
And I'm just like, I did
it for fifteen years. So you

515
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.920
know, he'll bring it back to
you because he already put it in you.

516
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.800
That's what I need people to understand. He already put it in you.

517
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:02.800
I had a client in my office
and I could tell she loves color,

518
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.199
and she just could not see herself
becoming an interior designer. I said,

519
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.480
what do you she gonna have to
go back to school? I said,

520
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.239
according to who who's telling you you
have to go to school? You

521
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.239
already got I said, okay,
I'll tell you what if I gave you

522
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:20.119
five thousand dollars, what would you
do with these two rooms? Give me

523
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:22.679
color? Just don't even think about
it. She got up. She looked

524
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:24.039
you going. First of all,
I will get rid of this. I

525
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:28.119
know you probably don't like a couch, so you're not gonna have a couch,

526
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.599
and we'll change all the wicker chairs. And I have paid an accent.

527
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.599
Well, you should have seen her
in her She was in it.

528
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:37.639
I said, well, you spent
by five thousand dollars. Very well.

529
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:43.239
Now what degree did I ask you? If you had it came out of

530
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.480
you? And she said, oh
wow, it had tears in her eyes.

531
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:49.880
I said, it's there because he
already put it in you. Now

532
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.639
you just got to trust him.
We got to go back to our creator.

533
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:57.679
I can we see the light to
be to the correct path to be

534
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.440
on? Well, it may should
feel a certain way. It's not easy

535
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:07.480
to get there, and it's not
easy to hold on to. But once

536
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.119
you figure you know what, this
is the route I have to go.

537
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.320
And God, if I'm wrong,
now that I know your voice, I

538
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.800
know your presence, Jesus. If
I'm wrong, Holy Spirit. If I'm

539
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.880
wrong, I know you will readirectly
quick. But when you all start,

540
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.559
take little steps. I know our
time is almost up here. But take

541
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:34.239
little steps. Okay, start When
he shuts that door, that means don't

542
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:37.960
even try and open it, don't
go back, don't go back. So

543
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:42.719
let's go. Let's let's listen to
the formula pastor share fore f forget forgetting

544
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:46.000
the past, forgetting it. As
of tonight, you all forget the past.

545
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:52.199
You are in the company of two
pastors, License and Ordain, so

546
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.800
you're in the right company. Holy
Spirit is already here. The Triune Being

547
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:00.000
is with us, the heavenly Hostess
with us. You're angels are sitting there

548
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:05.880
waiting. What about unfinished business?
Well, country, if you don't finish

549
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.480
it. If it's not finished,
then you know what, cross it off

550
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.199
the list. I was able to
cross all some things on my half my

551
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.920
vision board list. I've already conquered
it. There's no rechecking it off anymore.

552
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.400
There's nothing else to do with it, or it's no longer a vision.

553
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.039
It's no longer vision. So that's
why you need your vision board.

554
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:29.239
You need to write these things down. The next will be active scheduling.

555
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:30.719
In the beginning, when I was
studying my word, I had it on

556
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:35.840
my manual calendar. Every morning at
six am, be take before I would

557
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.880
take my oldest sun to daycare.
I would read sick four books, one

558
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:44.239
from Genesis, one from Psalms,
one from Proverbs, and one from Matthew.

559
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:46.280
That's how I got through. I
wasn't trying to get through the Bible

560
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:49.559
in the year, but that's how
I got through it in the year.

561
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:53.880
Didn't mean to, but I had
to read four books every four chapters rather

562
00:45:54.239 --> 00:46:00.000
every morning. But I had to
write it down. So writing it down,

563
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:04.679
writing the vision down, writing it
down helps you to commit to things.

564
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.480
Put a timeline on it, put
a deadline on it. You don't

565
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.239
reach that deadline, be guess what. Maybe it wasn't meant to be crossing

566
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:19.480
off, replace it though with something
else. Teach a state of mind as

567
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.760
state of mind you've got. You
got to work on this. You got

568
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:24.719
to work on this because we got
our brain in here. We got the

569
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:28.360
big you know, we got the
big dog up here who wants all the

570
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.440
credit for everything. The subconscious is
holding on to all the stuff and all

571
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.719
the dirty secrets and all the skeletons
in the closet. You've got to talk

572
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:37.280
to your flesh. Sometimes people would
look at me like, who is she

573
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:40.400
talking to my flesh? I'm talking
about give me a minute. No,

574
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.039
we're gonna get up today and we're
gonna rise up today. We're walking down.

575
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.639
I'm exercising for ten minutes. I
will exercise for another ten minutes tonight

576
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:52.320
before I go to bed. You
gotta put it in your mind. You've

577
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:57.800
got to override your flesh. And
if I may add to that, one

578
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:04.360
third of our brain activity is genetics, is what we bring from the past,

579
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:08.800
but two thirds is what we put
into it, so we have the

580
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:16.039
capabilities of putting the right things to
our brain to help us grow. Amen

581
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:22.480
and teach, teach what you know. I just I want to pray before

582
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:23.440
we get off of here. Father
God, we just thank you, We

583
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:28.320
praise you once again. Please be
with the folks that were on tonight,

584
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.760
everybody, including us, including Pastor
mcguel, including myself, listening to including

585
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.719
rebel listening to the steps and what
we need to do to not only get

586
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.599
to you, but to stay in
you. Be with everybody as they make

587
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.639
a change tonight. They're going to
make a decision tonight to do something to

588
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:49.639
get closer to you, to see
if you really do work. Are you

589
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.199
really there for them? Can you
be for them? Are they worthy of

590
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.119
them? Lord, meet them where
they're at and bring them forward like you've

591
00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:01.519
done us. I'm asking God,
we're standing in the gap alongside all of

592
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.719
them, all of them that's on
here tonight and those who will be listening

593
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:09.800
in the very near future, Please
be with them. We know that you

594
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.079
could do it. We know that
you could do it because we are truly

595
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.880
living epistles. We know what you've
done for us, and you continue to

596
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:22.239
do. This is not just a
one time thing. We have to continue

597
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.960
on and we have to maintain.
We love you, Lord in Jesus name,

598
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.639
Please keep everybody safe. Okay,

599
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.000
guides is. Thank you for listening, because country see you gotta want it.

600
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:39.199
That's another thing too. The teacher
will come when the student is ready,

601
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.480
When the students ready, the teachers
will come. This was. This

602
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:50.159
was a spiritually led show today,
folks, this is no joke. Well

603
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:54.199
this happened today and you witnessed it, so you saw the Holy Spirit at

604
00:48:54.239 --> 00:49:00.880
work. Today's the eighth of the
month, and as new beginnings, that's

605
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:06.440
God's number for due beginnings. So
it's a new beginning for you all.

606
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:08.840
If you want it bad enough,
now, you gotta want it. You

607
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:13.920
gotta want it. I just told
folks through this weekend and today, if

608
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:17.920
you don't want it bad enough,
stop talking about it. Stop talking.

609
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:22.440
I don't want to hear it because
we don't pray. We have talked it

610
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.440
through, We done dissect it it
as best as we can. There's nothing

611
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:30.480
else we can do or say,
so let it go or say you know

612
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:37.079
what, I don't need you anymore. I don't need you anymore. And

613
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.039
we're gonna continue this talk next week. So y'all come on. More questions

614
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.039

write down some questions for us, how

615
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:46.159

for this month of July. This is

616
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:51.199
the seventh month. On the seventh
day he rested, it was complete.

617
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:57.039
So I'm believing God, your transformation
will be complete. You'll be on the

618
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.559
way to that you all be blessed. Be safe out there. Okay,
