Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, you know what I thought about something I thought
I wanted to share with my audience because you know,
it's something I've realized as I've gotten older. I understand
my mission. I've accepted my calling. I am crystal clear
(00:21):
about one of the reasons why I'm here. I now
fully understand why God made my life have the challenges
and setbacks in it that he did. So in moments
like this, when I'm talking to people, I can offer
them some tidbits, some gems, some jewels that I have
(00:43):
learned along the way. And I think of so many
things that I've learned in my past that I never
didn't understand at the time.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But I do not.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Something my mother used to say to me all the time.
My mother used to say, one day, God gonna give
you a big house up on the hill. You can't
get up on that hill, and don't tell nobody else
how to get there. Now, coming from a very poor background,
I didn't understand that at a time. And then you know,
that was a scripture talking about a house on a
(01:11):
hill and something like that was something something I didn't
know what she was talking about. I don't think my mama,
here come another Bible verse. I got to go to the
Bibles till they and figure this one out. I just
never did.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I understand now, and in that I understand my mission,
I understand my assignment. I've accepted my calling, and here
I am. So that's to say to everybody out there
who hasn't reached my plateau yet. As far as age goes,
the things you're going through right now is preparing you
(01:46):
for what you're going to be and what you're going
to have. And you've got to understand this process. I
didn't always understand it, but now that I've gone through
it and still going through it at time, I'm sharing
with you some things that you need to know about
the process that yeah, it is hard for you now,
(02:08):
but this too shall pass. Yes it's challenging for you now,
but this ain't gonna trouble last always. I'm telling you
what I've learned that you're going to get to the
other side of it eventually. And sometimes you get to
the other side and don't even realize you there, and
you just got to stay in the process. The most
(02:29):
important thing you have to remember, folks, in this whole
process is don't you ever ever give up. I don't
care what happens. Don't you ever give up? I don't
care how dark it look for you, how bleak the situation,
how charged with punishment the scroll. Don't you ever ever
give up? Because I have seen it happen too many times.
(02:53):
I have seen people who I know gave up before
the light switch got cut. On one more strike of
the hammer, they to hit oil, one more dig or
the shovel.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And the diamonds would have fell out.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I have seen people walk away from situations and the
very next day the person behind them reaped the benefits.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I've seen it over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I was determined I was not going to be that person.
I oftentimes I just asked God for strength. Now you
know what God does when you ask for strength, He
puts situations in front of you that requires you to
be strong. Because it's like going to the gym. You
(03:39):
can't go in there and get in that gym. One
of the big boys is that over there. You got
to start with some lightweights. You got to work up.
You can't jump in there and grab the sixties. You
gotta start your curls with them twenties. Man, you grab
them sixties and start curling, and see what happened.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You'll be discouraged. You'll go home.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Nah, man, you got to get you got to get
them life weights. You got to start building it up.
And as you build it up, you get stronger, and
you get stronger. So you ask God for strength. Yeah,
so he puts situation in front of you that requires
you to be strong. You asking God to make you
rich one day. You know what God gonna do. He
gonna make you understand what poverty is. See, because if
(04:21):
you do get rich one day, you're gonna have to
have an appreciation for it, because if you don't. People
who get rich quick don't have money loan because they don't.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Know the process.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So as you're asking God to increase your wealth, He's
also gonna let you stay in this poverty.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
A little while too. I can attest to that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
As you ask God to bring you closer, which is
what I'm doing right now. You know what God gonna do.
He gonna put you in this situation to make you realize,
ain't nobody out there for you but Him, and I
ain't got no choice but to be closer to Him,
because guess what, can't nobody really help me, I don't
have no problems. Well, I can up the phone and
go yo, man, I need some help. No anybody finna
(05:04):
do that. God keeps me in situations where I have
to realize is only Him and no matter where the
attack comes from. I am now thoroughly convinced that God
got me. I am convinced of it. I wish y'all
could just learn it from me. Do you see how
(05:24):
I come and get on this radio every day with
this same attitude. I don't care what's swirling around me.
I have people all the time, Hey man, just checking
on you. You okay?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
But I'm good. I'm good man, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I really am. Because I am convinced that God is
with me. I am convinced that He's not gonna leave me.
I am convinced that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
I am convinced that I can walk through the rivers
and the waters and will not be overcome. I am
convinced of that. I am convinced that he making me
(06:02):
lie down in green pastures. I'm convinced of it because
He'd done it for me time and time again, So
why would he not do me again?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And if God said he'd never leave you. He he
don't leave you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You going through something, don't mean he'd have left you. Man,
y'all come on now, don't ever give up. That's the
number one thing. Don't you ever give up. I don't
care what happens. Don't you dare give up? I those
are my clothes. Remove forgets.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
