Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some of you heard me tell you about the time
I walked in my house and my lights was off
and my water was off, and they repossessed my car.
And I walked in the house and nobody was in
the house with me, and I started talking to the
house Anita. I told a house. I told the house,
And now you want to treat me, don't you. But
I told the house. I talked to the house like

(00:20):
it was a person, and I said, you're a liar.
The paint was coming off the walls, the gas didn't work,
the water was off, the phone was off. I said,
you're lying on me. I don't not accept this. I'm
better than this. I told my sister, I'm getting up.

(00:43):
When you make up your mind to get up, no
devil in the hell can hold you. Now. I don't
care if it's racism, sexism, governmentism, I don't care what's
going on. And when you make up in your mind,
I'm going to get up. I don't know. I feel
like I'm talking to somebody in this room. Encourage yourself.
Encourage yourself, Encourage yourself, stop blaming everybody who didn't and

(01:09):
encourage her. You ain't got time to be better. You
gotta make it to better. You gotta get to better.
If you got to crawl on your better, I got
the encourage myself. Notice that it was only when he

(01:30):
encouraged himself that he got high enough to hear from God. Oh,
you can get so low that you cannot hear from God.
He does not seek dumbam and.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Urham before he encourages himself, because he has to encourage
himself to get high enough to receive a good word.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
And once he got through encouraging himself, you got to
do this. I found out there's too much weight to
put on your mate. To expect the person you married
to lift you. You're too heavy. You know them pictures

(02:30):
where the husband bring in the bride and carry her
over the threshold. You can only do that if she's
a size five. When she assize fifty, baby, you got
to walk across this door yourself. I'll hold your hand
or something like that. But a brother can't be busting
his back trying to be romanic. You are fifty. The

(02:50):
girl on TV was a five. Come on in Maiden
to come on ahead. You got the hired in yourself
too heavy for anybody else to carry. You've been through
too much drama. You've been through too much hell to
put the full weight of your recovery on another person.

(03:12):
I don't care whether it's a man or a wan,
or a dog or a cat. You got to encourage yourself. God,

(03:34):
I feel like I'm talking to somebody. God wouldn't have
me preaching like this if something wasn't about to happen
in your life, something that you lost is about to
come back, something that God's out from under your foot.
You're about to get it back again. And this is
your boot camp that's giving you, step by step by
step by step by step, how to get back what

(03:55):
the devil stole from you. If I'm talking to you,
give God for these suckings of crazy holy ghost prayer.

(04:25):
You got ten suckets, you got five suckings, you got
three suckings, you got one sucking. If the kids don't
bring you no roses, get yourself some roses. If they
don't send you no card, get yourself a card. Encourage yourself.

(04:48):
You can't spend another year talking about what did I
do wrong? Why don't they love me? Why don't they
respect me? You are losing life. You can't spend another
year here trying to. You can't make nobody love you,
you can't make nobody respect you. You got to encourage yourself.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I ready need you.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
You can only apologize so long if I said anything,
if I did anything, whatever I did, I'm sorry. I
want by. I want you to understand I was going
through somebody. You can only explain so long. Soon on later,
you got to make them in your mind. Maybe that
no is no to them, but it's still yes to me.
And if you don't want me, I still want me, said,

(05:46):
I still want me. How so, fire smoke everywhere, everything
burning up, But I still made me want to do

(06:07):
my happy days, don't you know? Demons tremble when you
start talking like that. Hell gets nervous when you start
talking like that. The devil thought he had you in
a full Nelson, thought he had you lucked down if
you weren't gonna get up, and you just jumped up
and hollered. I still want me, deem, I'm strembl Hell

(06:29):
gets frustrated. Witches lose their power. Somebody shouted out, I
still want me. I'm still on my side. If you

(06:54):
ain't on my side, I'm still on my side. If
you ain't got my back. I got my own back.
If you don't stand up for him, I'll stand up
for myself. When he got through encouraging himself Pastor Michael,

(07:25):
then he asked God, what say ye go get some
of them in your room and let's see what the
Lord is saying. Should I go up? Should I overtake them?
I'm not going up. But if I'm not gonna win, oh,

(07:50):
I feel the Holy Ghost. I didn't cut this father lose.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I'm to all the lose.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I can't take another loss. Shut out, take them, and
the Lord said. The Lord said, pursue. Somebody shall pursue.

(08:25):
Take it on the line, pursue in the middle of COVID,
pursue in the middle of crisis, pursue up under attack,
pursue going to divars.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
P sue.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
For thou shalt surely overtake them, God said, thou shalt
surely not, maybe surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
I don't know why you ain't dancing. I don't know

(09:14):
why you ain't craising it. I don't know why you're
not rejoicing. I don't know why your better ain't leave
it up and down. Because when God said it. Nah,
I got permission.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Kay.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Up until then, all I had was encouragement. You can
get encouragement from a motivational speaker, but you it only
get permission from God.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
And the Lord said, oh God, I feel like preaching
from the Lord said, I'm giving you a pupermission, boring
my preaching.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
To you that I stop there trying. I got promission.

(11:03):
I was in Florida and a news reporter was interviewing
me and he said, you're a pastor. He said, what
are you doing doing blockbuster films? He said, you got
all these books, twelve books on the New York Times
bestsellers list. One of them has been on for sixteen weeks.

(11:27):
But you're a pastor. You're dabbling in real estate. But
you're a pastor. He said, why are you doing it?
I said because I can. If I couldn't do it,

(11:51):
