Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. It's been a fun day.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know something, it's really interesting. I was listening to
Joel Losting, and of course I can't remember verbt of
what he said, but I got the gist of what
he was saying, and I kind of gave it some
thought over the past couple of days, and the message
kind of really really resonated with me. And he was

(00:28):
advising people not to listen to the roar. R are
the roar. Don't listen to the roar, And what he
was referring to was the roar was naysayers, haters, outside chatter.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
When you.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Are in agreement with God about your plan, when you're
in agreement with your creator about your future and what
you're going to do, you've got to learn and all
of us have to learn this, myself included, to block
out and ignore the roar, the things that people say

(01:12):
about you, the nay say as, the haters, the family members,
your so called love ones, your friends, blogs, the IG page,
the comments section, your coworkers.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
You have to ignore the roar.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And so it was equating it to the roar of
a lion, you know, And I've been to Africa, and
I've heard that. I've heard lions in the wild, I
mean really really raw, and boy they something else.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
That guttural roar of a lion is to intimidate other
lions and other pray, I mean not pray, but other cats.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Hey, this is my territory. Don't come over here.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
And so they raw to signify, if you can hear me,
I'm telling you, this is my territory.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Don't come over here. Now.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Most animals get intimidated by that, you know, especially animals
of prey. They hair, they are the way when they
hear that. Okay, we're getting too close to this, dude.
But a lot of times it's to keep other lions
out of their territory. Now, this raw is to intimidate you.

(02:30):
The lion uses it to intimidate, But the raw is
used to intimidate you and to block you from your
blessings from God. So, now, if you're in agreement with
God and you're on your way to a certain destiny
in your life, and all of a sudden you hear
this roar from the haters, the blogs, the internet, the coworkers,

(02:52):
the rumor meal, the whatever you have, the family members
that don't believe.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
You've got to learn how to block out.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
The raw, because the raw is a trick by the devil,
and the devil has no new tricks. He's been doing
the same thing since the beginning of time. Now he
may have some technology attached to it right now, but
the devil ain't got no new tricks.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
He the same dude.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
He the same low down, no good, trying to rob
you of your destiny dude that he's always been, and
he uses the raw to block you. So now he
was using the example of he said he was on
a safari once and he was talking to one of
the guides and they were talking about if you're ever

(03:44):
out on a safari and a lion charges, they tell
you not to break out and run because first of all,
the lion can run it fifty miles an hour, So
you can't do that, so he said, and if you
break and run, you just it's gonna die scared. But
he say, the best way to handle it is to

(04:05):
turn and make eye contact with the lion.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now that's hard to do. I mean, we all know.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
That you got a lion charge, and everything in you
says turn and run. But the guide was saying, ninety
percent of all lion charges he stops because he just
does it to see what you're gonna do. Ninety of
all charges, the lion stops short of attacking because he

(04:31):
just wants to see what you're gonna do. Now, there's
ten percent where you know you're a goner, but it's
ninety percent he stops if you turn and run, one hundred.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Percent he keeps coming.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
So you have to muster up the strength to stand
and face the lion and the charging attack with the
row to turn around and face him. And that's how
you have to deal with the roar of people in
your life.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You have to turn around and face them.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
See, look y'all, you got somewhere to go in life,
and God has a plan for you. But in order
for you to get there, you're gonna have to stay
focused and you have to get on track, and you're
gonna have to learn, man, that you have the ability
to get there.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You just got to stop paying attention to the roar.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
You are equipped to be on the battlefield, you are
equipped to be in rough water.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
All of us are ships.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
There's a saying that says ships are safe in port,
but ships ain't built to stay in port.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
You were built to be out in the water.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Get your focus on God and going about your business
and get the life that God has for you. But everybody,
you have to learn to ignore the roar real quick.
A bully was at the school one day and he
made a list of everybody at the school that he
could whoop. And he showed this little bitty boy's list,
and he said, look at this list right here. Little

(06:03):
boy said, let me see that list. He looked on
it and he saw his name. He say, hey, man,
you got my name on the list. He said, yeah,
I know. He said, you know you can't whip me.
He said, you ain't never jumped on me before. You
ain't never whooped me. You've never jumped on me. You
can't whoop me.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
You got my name on the list for? The bullet said,
hold on, man, I'm sorry. I take it off. You
know what he did. He turned around and he faced
the raw. He was just a lie of charging. He
took his little He took a little boy name off
the list. Little boy said, you ain't never whooped me before.
Take my name off your list. Sometimes that's just how
you have to.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Be, y'all.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Have a great day, ignore the raw, make him take
your name off the list.
