and He'll do the same thing for you.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
God.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
God is a gentleman, you know. I want to I
want to point that out to you. God is an
absolute gentleman. He will not come in unless he's invited.
He don't just barge into your life. He gives us
the power of choice.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If you say you got it, I don't need you,
he lets you have it. If you say I need you,
come see about me.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
He right there. It's just a real simple thing, man.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself
in this, and please know I have.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I I was stuck.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I thought a couple of times, well might not make
it past this one. But then if I don't make
it past it, what's gonna happen? And then I held
on to this little thing that my mother kept talking
to me about. She said, sometimes some when you ain't
got nothing else in you, just hope. She said, just
(01:28):
hope It'll be all right, you know. And what I've
learned in my life is that hope is the beginning
of faith. Hope is just is their possibility out there
for me. I show hope, something happened. See hope. Hope
is okay, man, Because like I say, for me, the
(01:52):
way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning of faith.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It was just the idea.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's just the thought that something could change for me,
that something could be a little bit different from me,
that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around,
it could hit any other direction. Maybe I could quit
messing up. Maybe somebody will forgive me. Maybe somebody will
(02:21):
will just say all right. I don't know, but I
can't count the times I've been in that position. But
then once I hope a little bit, and then I
remember also my mother, because she was a Sunday school teacher,
she taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned
in my life. Nothing has been greater in my life
than my faith. She taught me to pray. Mama used
(02:42):
to say, when it get real, dog for your son,
prayer change is things, she say, when you seem like
you lost and you can't find your way, stop and pray,
she said, because prayer change is things. You know, when
you get a point in your life when you've done
all you can do and you can ain't do no
more and you just don't know what to do next,
(03:03):
she says, stop son pray and combine that prayer with
that hope that you got, she said, because that hope
is the beginning of faith, she said. If you pray
just hoping, she's saying, to God come through for you.
That'll give you confidence that he can do it again.
And then after a while, you quit hoping, she's saying,
(03:25):
you start believing. She saying, that's when you're on to something.
If you can turn that hope into belief, that hope
into faith, the ability to believe in something that you
can't see. But the key though the faith is you're
believing in something that you can't see see hoping a
(03:45):
little bit different from me now, I'm pretty sure, like
I say oftentimes to tell a lot of people who
can explain this thing a lot better than I can
to you. But just from my side of it, being
as real as I can be, rich you See, hope helps.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope,
and then if you pray with some hope and God
answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence,
and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now the
ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something
that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to
(04:25):
my entire existence, even when I didn't have any It
was faith, as I look back on it, that has
gotten me here.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And not just faith, but my faith. See, you will
only get to.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Where you're going in your life based on your faith.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
See.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
A lot of people get the word faith confused, like
what's your faith? And then they start going down this
whole list of all these different religions out here. But
really an essence, man, when I talk to people about faith,
I'm talking to you about it your belief. How much
do you believe in the unseen? How much do you
(05:08):
believe in the things you can't see? How much do
you believe in the impossible? How much do you believe see?
Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
Faith is the core of all that is happening to
(05:28):
me today. It is the faith that I have in
my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes,
if I stay on the right course and believe a
certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.
They just come. And it comes in a lot of
(05:51):
little ways too. I've started to notice, See, it ain't
just a lot of people think blessings is money. Nah, man,
that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
lands safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and
I get up in the sky and it don't be
no bad weather. You know, this is this is favor.
(06:13):
These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity,
you know. Somebody say, hey, man, I don't know, but
I sent this to you.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I thought you might be interested in it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Somebody will send me a scripture, or somebody will send
me something that's favor, and it always comes at a
time when I need it the most. That's favor that's
pouring out blessings.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too.
You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man,
I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've
been blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See,
blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie
(07:05):
in to God, once you tie in and you start
doing the best you can do, and you start asking
for Him to make you a better person, to help
shape and mold you into the kind of man or
person that he wants you to be. You be amazed
what God can do with you. Man, if you just
invite me in and allow him to be a part
(07:28):
of your life. I mean, what you got to lose
out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell
this morning, why would you not change? You have a
chance to turn your life around with a relationship with God.
What you're waiting on? Are you gonna just keep doing
it like that? Huh?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Really? Come on, man, why would you do that to yourself?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Why would you not allow God to be a part
of your life so you can get the way he
wants you to be. God got some big plans for you.
If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up.
