Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day on this hump day Wednesday. Okay, yes, ma'am, pretty
good day. I can't wait for your poem coming up
later in the week, Junior, for Mother's Day. I look forward.
I look forward to it. Yes, I'm looking forward to

(00:20):
your poem because I am looking forward to revealing your
new name on the show. I'm thank you the name welcome.
I don't worry about all right, Steve, time for you
to step up to the mic. Well, you know, today
I wanted to remind people of something, and that is

(00:45):
the power of power thinking. And I was reminded of
that because I was listening to a sermon, uh the
other day online. I was listening to one of Joel
Olstein's sermons, and he reminded me how important the mind is.

(01:11):
He had reminded me how important to mind is tied
to your words, because it's a true statement from the
Bible that a man is as he thinketh right, So
what you think determines who you are, where you go.
And some people are not taking advantage of this gift

(01:32):
that God has given us, which is the power of choice.
And you have a right to make decisions to be
positive or negative. That's a choice you have. And so
in this choice on a daily basis, if you wake
up to have power thoughts, if you can manufacture thoughts

(01:53):
to move your life in an upward and forward trajectory,
that's the way you get the life of your dreams
and ambitions and goals and and and and things that
feel your imagination. You can only get these things by
having power thoughts. So let let me show you what
we mean here. When you wake up in the morning,

(02:15):
if you confess with your mouth, if you open your
mouth and say Wow, thank you Lord, today, I expect
great things to happen. I today am going to live
my life to the fullest. I am going to accept

(02:36):
the things that are happening to me and realizing that
with you, all things are possible. That no matter what
besets me today, that I have no problem bigger than
my God. So I look forward to today and I
move forward with the expectations that this is going to

(02:59):
be a great day. If you open your day with
that affirmation, you have no idea what you set into motion.
You set into motion positive things to happen. Because if
the Bible is true what it always is, if a
man is as you think, if you've just set the

(03:21):
pattern for what your day could be, that no matter
what besets you, that you have the ability to understand
that God got you. See, God does have you. Because
I was reminded that God doesn't put anything on you
that you can't handle. Think about that for a moment.

(03:41):
Every dire situation you've ever been in, every single one
of them, think about this, y'all. Have you not survived
them all? Or it might have lasted way longer than
you wanted to. The outcome could have been different than
you thought it was, and you certainly didn't want it

(04:03):
and don't wish it on nobody. But did you not
survive it? It is what I'm asking you. Did you
not make it through every critical moment in your life?
Did you survive the grief you was going to when
you thought it was unbearable? Did you not? The answer, yes,

(04:27):
you did. Now you may be carrying the residue of it,
but that's on you. But God got you through it
because you still here. I was talking to a friend
whose mother had passed, and she passed sort of unexpectedly.
She was in her eighties, and my partner's wife was
really really going through it, and he said, man, I

(04:48):
don't know what to do. I can't help her. Man,
she just in a dog place, and so he said, hey, man,
i've heard you on the radio a couple of times.
You could just say something to it. So it gave
me a phone and I text her and in response,
her message to me was you don't understand how I feel.

(05:11):
And I said, wait a minute now, I'm sorry, but
I think I do because mine is gone too. I say,
but are you hanging on to it so you could
feel badly for yourself? Are you hanging on to it
because it's just the worst thing that's ever happening to you?
I say, either way, it's bad. But can I ask
you something? Do you think this is what she would

(05:33):
want you to do? Did she not raise you to
be strong? Independent? This woman has degrees, I mean several degrees.
She's a bad girl, man, and she was just in
a dark funk. And we would through several moments of
talking to it, and I had to let it go.
And then about a month later she text me and said, wow,

(05:54):
thank you so much. You were right. I said, no,
I was not right. Does what he always says, he's
gonna do. He promised to never leave you. He said
he would not put more on you than you can bear,
and he didn't. You bared it. It wasn't me. I
was just here to remind you that this thing you're

(06:15):
going through, that God will see you through it, just
like he has every other thing in your life. So
produce power thoughts when you wake up, Think energy into
your world. Put the positivity out there, because that's exactly
where to come back to you. If you put negativity
out there, old woe is me, then old woe is you.
Put power thoughts into the air and watch what comes

(06:36):
back in the air you breathe, Trust me, y'all. That's
how you start your day. Come on, y'all, power thoughts,
Power thoughts, have a great day. Will see you wrong
