Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You ready, Yeah, just thinking of a couple of things.
I've been watching a lot of people who you know,
on the news and stuff like this, who seem that
(00:30):
that that are in such despair, you know, and I've listened.
I was watching somebody online the other day talking about
how hopeless their life seemed to them.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I want to offer.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
People something to think about. Be very very conscious of
the word hopeless, you know, be very very conscious of
feeling hopeless, because it can happen if you're not careful.
(01:15):
And I've had to end my life on several times.
Become very acutely aware of this trick that the devil uses.
And if the devil can get you to feel like
it's hopeless, oh man, he's got you. He's got you
right where he wants you. I remember several times, man,
(01:38):
when I was homeless, man, when I just didn't see
this career going the way I wanted it to go.
I was just in some dark places, man. You know, look, man,
when you don't have a house to go to at
the end of the day, it's it's it's a it's
a it's a it's a debilitating thought heatedly to go wow,
(02:02):
to not be able to say I'm going home, because
you know, I mean, no.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Matter how rough a day you have, if you have the.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Comfort to say, man, well skip all this, I'm going home,
and you can turn that key and get into this
place that you stay as no matter what it looks
like or how small or how big, it's your home.
If you can turn that key and go in there
and shut that door and lock out them troubles for
a minute, it gives you a moment to regroup yourself.
So not having the comfort of saying I'm going home
(02:35):
was rough on me at times, and it was times
where the devil would get into my mind and say, man,
it ain't no way out of this. You just homeless.
You not getting these gigs. Ain't nobody calling you all this?
You want to be on TV, you want to be
(02:56):
a star. Eve, this is hopeless. I had to catch
myself because hope is a very important thing to cling
on to, because sometimes you only have hope to cling
on to, and.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You've got to keep hope alive.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I remember when Jesse Jackson used to say it, keep
hope alive, Keep hope alive.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
People don't know how really important that is.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
To keep hope alive, not faith, not belief, not being
factual that I.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Know this is gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But if you can just say the mere words, man,
I hope I be okay. Man, I hope this workout.
I hope God hear me. I hope I get a break.
I hope this don't last too much longer. Just say hope.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Just say it. I'm telling you, man, clinging on to
that word hope.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hope is the beginning of faith, because, like I say
all the time, sometimes I used to hope I got
a bike for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I used to hope I would get a toy.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I used to hope you know that I graduated, I
hope I get a job one day. Well, eventually, as
I got older, all that hope and I used to do,
eventually I learned how wow, this is really faith. Faith
is a belief in things that you cannot see. But
it begins with hope, because when you're young, it's just hope.
(04:37):
I hope Santa Claus bring me this. I hope I
get a bike. Man, I hope I get that doll house.
I hope I get.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That oven this year. I hope.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I hope he asked me out, I hope she say yes.
I hope she'll be my Valentine. I used to hope
for so many things, man, But as I got older,
I understand to that hope was just the pure essence.
There's a scripture, man, I wish I could think of
it right now. Faith is the substance of things hope
(05:10):
for it. That's it, and the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the substance of things hope for. That's why
you got to keep saying I hope, even if you
ain't strong enough to believe hope.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's the substance of faith.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Because faith is the substance of things hope for. You
can't have faith without first hoping, I hope this happened.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Faith is a belief in things that you cannot see.
So what are you hoping it to? What are you
thinkings that you cannot see something you hope for? You
got to keep hope alive, y'all. When you feel like
you ain't gonna make it, just keep saying our hope, Lord,
I hope God, I hope Lord, Please, I hope, and
telling you he'll come to you, He'll come to you.
(06:03):
And faith is the substance of things hope, for hope
turns into faith if you just keep saying it. Keep
hope alive, y'all, Always just keep.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Saying you hope.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's the beginning of things happening and changing in your life.
Those are my closing remarks. And they'll hope they did
something for somebody. Hey, listen, y'all, talk to God.
