Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are, last break of the day.
Last Yeah, this is the last day of the week
for us, Friday, and it's you're up. You know what, man,
going into the weekend. I'm gonna talk about a subject
that can sound a little different coming from me, but

(00:23):
I began to understand more and more why it's okay
for me to talk about God. Because I am such
an imperfect person, because I've made some serious, serious mistakes
in my life, because I'm flawed, because I am oftentimes

(00:50):
transparent in some of my failings in life, because of
my willingness to say I'm sorry. I have learned that
I'm a very qualified person to talk about God because

(01:10):
I'm a good example that you can be an imperfect
person with so many flaws, have done so many wrong
things in your life, have gotten it wrong, so many times,
have been written off, ridiculed, understood and misunderstood, and you

(01:33):
can still have a relationship with God that brings your
life into great benefit. So therefore, I'm qualified to talk
about this. Now. I'm improving, And somebody told me the
other day, so you just gonna stay an entry level Christian.

(01:55):
Because I was jokingly telling a person man I think
I'm really just an entry level Christian. I don't really
know how to do advanced Christianity. But I'm okay with this.
So they said, so you're never going to improve as
a Christian. I said, well, I'm doing the best I
can right now with where I am and what I've
been working with. I say, but you know, I think

(02:17):
that you know I've improved a little bit. I'm better
than I was, but I may not be where you
think I should be, but I ain't where I was.
So with that said, this is a good reason for
me to say what I'm saying. I would suggest to
everybody that can hear me that you should form a

(02:38):
relationship with God immediately, starting now. And the reason I
know you need a relationship with him is because life
is so difficult. If you try to do this without him,
you're not going to make it. That if you try
to get through this thing called life without a relationship

(02:59):
with God, it is too difficult and you will be trapped.
I learned something from Victoria Oldstein, and she said that
the devil really don't care nothing about you. All he
wants to do is rob you of your destiny. I
had never heard anybody say that before I really have it,
not that I can remember. She said. The devil really
don't care anything about you. It's not interested in you

(03:21):
in the least bit. His mission is to rob you
of your destiny, is to throw you off course, to
not make you see what God created you to be.
And that really caught my attention, because if I look
back on my life, all the things I've happened, everything
that's happened to me, every time the devil sends the
bloggers to attack me, the one mission that's clearly at

(03:45):
stake and is at hand, is that they are simply
trying to rob me of my destiny. When something happens
in your life that the devil sets into play because
he has all these impstinct work for him, because he's
trying to rob you of your destiny. That he knows
that God has blessings for you stored up that he

(04:07):
hasn't given to you, and he don't want you to
get to that point of receiving him. So he got
to throw you off course and keep you from taining
your destiny. And that's his job. And man understanding that
has made my life a little bit clearer. Ain't made
it no easier, but it has allowed me and helped
me to understand some of the things that occur in

(04:27):
my life. Everything that happened to me ain't from the devils,
are the imps. Sometimes God provides a test. Sometimes a
test is to just to prepare you for something that
He has for you. So in testing you, it gets
you ready for where you're about to receive. So I've
learned that it's a little bit of this and it's
a little bit of that. Sometimes I'm a little confused

(04:47):
at to which direction is coming from. But at the
end of the day, God always reveals to me what
the message was that he wants me to learn. Because
behind every setback and hardship, that is a lesson and
a blos But the important thing for you all and
for all of us to form some type of relationship
with God, because God knows your name. When you reach

(05:09):
out to God, he knows your name. He does He
made you, He created you, He knows exactly who you are.
He put them fingerprints on you. He made your ten
fingerprints different from the six other to eight billion other
people that's in this world, and the billions of people

(05:30):
that have already died. Ain't none of us have the
same fingerprints. That's how much you mean to him. Have
relationship with God because he knows your name. Stay in
touch with him. We were all created to need him
moment by moment. When we walk away from that, we

(05:53):
put ourselves in jeopardy. It opens up the door for
the devil to slip in and rob us of our destiny.
Have a relationship with God. Talk to him. You don't
have to go to church to do that. Do that
you have a better weekend. I know, I will. Y'all
have a good weekend. He'll drop that mic. For all
