And it's most of the time it's a it's always

the guests that you I don't know where you how

(02:41):
you do it, but you will do it every week.
And God is so good to have you in my life.
I really do appreciate what you're doing for the for
the for the podcast itself, and my brother Bruce. I
appreciate the support that you're giving me a number of
over a number of issues. And I can't forget my

(03:02):
lady friend Valerie, sister Valerie. Look, you're always right on
time to keep us on the air, even when we
have those difficulties. Every once in a while we have
a difficulty that to show up well without you and
without your without your support, we might not be able
to keep our program going on. Now, talking about last week,

(03:24):
or speaking about last week, I met this guy his
name was Harld Franklin. I believe I'm pronouncing his nain right.
And mister Franklin's testimony was so humble and genuine, and
it was he was telling me personally. I took his testimony.
I took his testimony personally. I really did, because what

(03:46):
he was saying was how he may have grown up
without a dad in his life, he had a grandmother
who was there. She was there and she was always
there to give him the spiritual support that he needed
at that particular time. So I'll just sort of start

(04:06):
with what he told me. This is what he said,
Give your life to Jesus. Always give your life to Jesus.
The keeper of my heart is my Lord, and saved
Jesus Christ, God is with me. He then started telling

(04:28):
me about his grandmother. She gave him, She gave him
the the the the guidance that he needed in his
life during that time. She respects, she respect the leadership
of the Lord and she and she told me that
I should follow God, follow God's example. She was she

(04:48):
was a prophet. He felt like she was a prophet
in his life, and she taught him how to pray,
to help people, to help in love one another. She
also said, believe again. He also mentioned the same thing
over and over which made such an impact on me.
He was saying, over and over and constantly, believe in God,

(05:14):
and he will be your helper. He said. He was
taught to help your brothers and your sisters. He was
taught to trust in the Lord, he was saying. And
when you look back, that's when and where I got
my story. I started from there. I started my life
with Christ from my grandmother's teaching. He said. He had

(05:37):
a storm. He had some storm in his life, so
does everyone. But he wanted to share those stars with
the people that he was meeting. And he would tell
them give, give, give for them, and give for them,
and I also love them and be humble. Help in
any way you can be humble, he mentioned several different times.

(06:02):
Just be as humble as you can and let God
lead you. God has things for you to do, he said.
He testified, just be humble, talk to the young people,
spend time with the young people, pray for them, and

(06:23):
I always tell them your stories. He he wants you
to tell the stories that you are living. He said.
His father, my father, best friend. Let's see. He was
also said that he was He was basically a mechanic.

(06:46):
He always wanted to share his experience of fixing cars
with the younger people. And he said he loved working
on chevallets. Was the best cars that he wanted. He
enjoyed working on these fifty seven through fifty nine Chivallets.
But he said, but don't do it the car. Okay, okay,

(07:09):
I'm sorry the car. At one time he was fixing
on a car and it jumped in the gear and
its kind of scared him to death, he said. But
he said, God had a plan as a plan for
He had a plan for me, and he'll have a
plan for you. So put your trust in God, and
thank you heavenly Father. See and he said, okay, God,

(07:37):
have you as a gift for we tired trive to
help the car get it right now? Okay, excuse me.
What what Herod was saying to me and to us
was what we've been trying to say for the last
twenty half years. You've got to put your trust in
the Lord and save with Jesus Christ. He said that

(08:00):
without his grandmother that was really his guidance. He really
don't know if he would have been able to make
it this far. But he said once he found the Lord,
once he trusts and found out who the Lord was,
he started putting and communicate with God himself. He wanted
us to know that without God we're nothing, we can't

(08:21):
do anything, but with God in our life, all things
are possible. And look, I know that for a fact.
But I do know one thing I want to hear
from Herold again because he was so sincere, and I
know our guest today is going to bring something more
that we can probably and more than likely we will

(08:44):
probably be able to use in our lives. Because we're
all on this podcast to say one thing in particular.
Jesus loves us and he wants us to love our
brothers and our sisters as ourselves. So again I want
to say thank you, he told I, for the wonderful
job that you're doing and keeping us grounded and keeping

(09:05):
us all on the same page and keeping us informed
with these people, with the people that you meet. I
don't know how you do that. You're a gifted person,
I guess for doing something like that, but doing something
on that level, Bruce, I think I better let you
take over from there, because yes, I just don't know

(09:27):
how to not say the same thing over and over
that is Jesus is so much in love with us.
He loves us. We need to always remember that. Okay, Bruce, Yes, sure.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
As always tjpgate what you he stayed and again I'm
always excited to be on the podcast to over the
name of our our heavenly Father. And as you were
willing to tollid what he does. I consider that is
outleach ministry. Really, I mean where these doesn't matter where

(10:04):
he's act I mean yes, and he'll have a conversation
with with someone, he'll pray for them. And so happened
that they met mister Harrold Franklin at the store while
they were shopping. Uh her Franklin, and that's the TEJ stated,
he's a mechanic by trade. And he started out with
uh his testimony talking about the inner generational trauma that

(10:28):
we self a as as a people. And we've had
to podcast who've elaborated on that. Now it's passed down
through uh generation, through you know results of slave or
you know psychical, logical, physical abuses that we've had to
endure it. And but it was good for that to
be brought up again and so that to the address

(10:49):
and and that we know that's a real problem, but UH,
as we always say, nothing is impossible for God, we're not.
We're all here today because of the grace of.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
God and appreciates to bring that uh again uh to
the podcast to be a part of the discussion. Uh
I also mentioned as a TJ was indicating uh being
a mechanic and that he was at a dragon race,
you know that with a friend. I definitely want to
mention that what he what he talked about, and that

(11:20):
they were assisting UH this Uh, this individual were changing
a tire and the the person was underneath the vehicle
and the the vehicle fell on him and Carl and
his flan we we're trying to.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Lift the vehicle off the individual, uh without any success.
But at that time he he shout out, Oh Lord,
give us a strength, you get this car off this man,
and he talked about an unknown man at that moment
came and and and picked the car up off the man.

(12:00):
The man that did this was not identified and he
didn't know who it was. And he kind of banished,
if you will, And and he told about that experience
changed his life. He found a different purpose for play
and and that was helping others, you mean, And he
stressed that about helping others and charl whether he's feeding

(12:24):
two hundred and twenty people with with with a makeshift
of it ever thought he was a h It was
experience where it didn't have an oven, so it uh
I had to make do with what he what he had,
and the Lord UH spoke to him, directed him. But
when he he labeled, he said, with a two box

(12:44):
but held it well. But but he turned into a
make shil make sift. Oh that pretty full art for that.
I appreciated UH shuring that with us. I mean, talked
about the last thing that his grandfather UH told him
and who also you know, advised him that the Lord

(13:05):
had a purpose for his place. And I want to
stress what TJ said also about being humble, talk about
being Yeah, but God resists the pride the proud record,
but he talks about being humble and then and and
and about you know, appealing to the youth, about living

(13:28):
in the past money, don't be caught up in worldly pursuits,
and put a lot of folk impas his own prayers
which we talk about all the time on the podcast.
Prayer prayer works. Prayer works, trust God, Trust God. And

(13:49):
Proverbs three five and six we know tells us trust
in the Lord with all that heart, and lean not
on your own understanding and all our ways, and knowledge him.
And he's a direct by path and the law is
directing this his path. He's helping others. And I appreciate
him speaking words of encouragement on the about this podcast,

(14:15):
because you know that we're just trying to do God's will,
not about as we always say, it's not about told them,
it's not about teaching, it's not about dollary. It's about
Jesus Christ. And and as TJ stay that, we know
that whoever is on this podcast, that's what they're going

(14:37):
to be about. How hell is Father is directing them,
or they wouldn't be on this podcast. And so when
I'm looking forward to to hearing this BELITIONI demon praise
the offer of being on the podcast. I'll tell you,
Bruce and TJ. Man, y'all just make my job so easy. Man, y'all, y'all,

(14:58):

lot of my new listeners that come on you may

And that's bruising myself and Tim and my sister Harry Briscilla.
That's our baby brother. And he has a doctor in theology,

(15:40):
and and he's always trying to make a difference. And
so we we we just bring him on and and
every now and then. But I get a chance to
joke about else everything everything, son, I get a chasked
to say something. Well, guess what it's that time? You
know last last week, remember a doctor baby Boy. Tell
you Bo's booth got him all upset cause Booths beat

(16:02):

roong Booth beat him been being the last two years right,
and so like I told y'all before Doctor baby Boy
and then training. First all he had chickens in the backyard,
raising chickens, and the U, the UH Home Own Association
told me he had to get rid of the chickens.
And so then he started running the flowing the fence
having the dollars are chasing. And then at one particular

(16:24):
time he got to a place where in the that
the l the people didn't have a sense, and he
thought the pit bull was tied up and he was
the pit bulls start chasing Doctor baby Boy. They say
it was all. It was all over the the community
that they had never seen Doctor baby Boy around. No
run that fast. He ran first, real so fast. When

you know, I love to call her name and I'm
born Harry. He said, what's wrong, Dtor baby Boy, And
he said, I got chased home and the next thing
I know, she said she had to rock him to sleep.
So she walked him asleep, and so I called. I

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
She answered, Doctor baby boy and walking talking. You know,
he ain't got a record phone, so walkie talking, so
she picked up the walkie talking. This is what she
told me because I had appointment with doctor baby Boy.
Had appointment with him that day. And she said, the
reason why doctor boy baby boy is late because I
had to change his diaper. I'm like, I don't know
he had to change his tifle, but he said, yeah,

(17:29):
to change the type. So he was late. And so
I'm sitting there. We're supposed to be supposed to met
at a level level o'clock. He can tell about eleven
fifteen and stuff, and he's trying to make all kinds
of excuses come out. The traffic and the last thing
I want to let you, he gonna tell me he
had to blow out on his big wheel. He's time.
I had to blow out on the big wheel O
seventy five. That's what took me too long. But anyway,

(17:50):
we're gonnallow her to keep y'all laughing with doctor baby
Boy story. But we're gonna get serious now because I
got a serious guest on I got a serious guess.
I always like to show what I met met my guess, right,
So I had I had did a vending thing for
Tinting Weaver. You know Tisny Weaver and listen, she's been
on podcasts and so I got a chance to to

(18:12):
get there, and you know, it's a lot of vendors ound.
But when I got a chance to meet Miss Felicia,
it was her spirit. We just got to talking about
God and then this is what I love. And this
is the same thing that that Harold that was on
last week. She's a giver. He started giving me some
of her stuff because she's she's man. She does catering,

(18:37):
pie cake, whatever you want, she can do it right.
So she started giving me some of some of her
pies and stuff, and I start giving them some of
my portrait. We we won't even try it. We didn't
want even ton of change on money. We just give it.
We just give it, and we are we have a seat.
I have established a relationship with her because she's a giver.
But more than these things, she's she's in love with

(18:58):
the Lord. So Miss Felicia, I'm just so glad to
have your own. I know my brother Bruce is excited.
I know Teacher is excited because like I always let
people do you whatever God puts on your heart to say,
because we all over the world, and whatever you want
to say, tell your stuff. You don't be gonna be

(19:18):
on two weeks because you know you and I we
got a chance to talk it. You got you got
this more than one test on. You got test on
after testing one after test on. And the reason why
you're on the podcast because you remember who told me.
You said, I'm not afraid of the devil, and I'm
not afraid of man. I just tell them too. So
any way you want to come on, mister Flicious.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's on you, all right.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well, I am Felicia gi My.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I am the owner omg KS and Southern Best Catering.
I do my work and I serve, and most of
the time people would tell me I never make money
because I'm always giving things away.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
But when even I'm just being honest. When Jesus, when
people came to hear him, what was he doing.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
He was bringing bread and giving tank tanking a little
and turning into much giving. But people came to hear
what he said. And most of the times I'm set up.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I know God positions me and sets me up.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
In different areas because sometimes I don't want to go
out and do vending events because I never know what
I'm gonna be exposed to, what I'm gonna be doing,
But there's some that I'm led to do. And I
was led because the way Miss Tiffany actually she had
that spirit that I mean she she always treated me
like a person. She never treated me like somebody that

(20:32):
can she can get something from. But she didn't even well,
she watched me enough. She knows how much of a
giver I am. But I asked the question in my
sampling stuff or I'm gonna giving it away. But by
the time I see people and that, if I catch
their spirit, I'm half of them walked away. I didn't.
I didn't even care about what I walked away with financially,
it was just I made I made steps towards, you know,

(20:54):
letting people see, you know, who I was and what
I can do, and then they were able to experience,
you know, things from my hand and my heart. So
that's who I am, you know, just that person who.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Loves to serve.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I love God more than I mean, Pastor said they
were saying more than anybody family man, I love God first.
I love him more because if people turn their back
on you, who else do you have you have God,
But it took me a long time to learn how
to love them because there would be people in your

(21:29):
life that tried and you know them being honest.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
You know, sometimes you run, but how long.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Are you gonna run?

Speaker 1 (21:35):
So you know that's that's what it's about for me, right,
It's about the servitis. So I remember you pose a
question to me, yes, and you know the thing, you know,

(21:56):
I know what You've gone through a lot, and that's
really since you know, and I want he's just you know,
as a child coming up, just kind of shot it
because so many times kids will go to the groups
and things and they won't tell anybody, and then sometimes
when they tell somebody, they don't they don't, they don't,
they don't believe us. So just kind of shot you know,
because we want to just see if we can just
help somebody today. You and I know Bruths and teacher

(22:18):
will will appreciate you shine some things that the average
person might not shut but because you know, we on
this podcast to make a difference. That's why you're here
and we just want to say thank you. So if
you could, if you could kind of tap into that
a little.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Bits, Okay, I'm gonna chop into it this way. As
a young person. You know how some kids they get
to go to the Disney World during the hot the summers.
Some kids get to go all these amazing places, all
these amazing vacations. Uh. My storyline is I got to
go to Mississippi. I'm a Mississippi born kid. I actually

(22:56):
loved the Mississippi for so so very many reasons, not
just because I got to go back during the summer
to the house that I was born in. I know,
I was born in the hospital in Making, but in
Crawford when we had a house out there, and that's
where I was raised. I was raised where I thought
my dog that I had in was my horse, not

(23:17):
my dog, but I rode the dog. So as a
young person, just to go back to where your roots are.
And my aunt said she would bake. My aunt was
my matriarch. She was the one who I would go.
And you smell them good old buttered biscuits and that
good old grit, the good grits, not them grits people
be making these days, whereas grain and gritty, it would

(23:38):
be those creamy, good old grits that made you want
to get up and that bacon with the rane because
you know now nowa days would have blood pressure. Nobody
could eat that bacon like they used to, so I
can had to get that bacon up, but that good
old thick bacon with the rhine and they bubbled up
at the skin.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
That's what I was used to going.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
To summer times where we're going out in the garden
picking the tomatoes and not really understanding the appreciating the
food that was on the land.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
All this this it was.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
It was man handgrown, not man made.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know, we have to say it like that these days.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
But it was a blessing just to go back to
where I learned. I learned, and I never understood why
my grandmother would sit on the porch and just just
look out, especially after church. And they didn't force us
to go to church. But then we had this aunt
that was a bible toady aunt I'm talking about. She

(24:29):
went nowhere without her Bible. She had her Bible. She
would drive from Illinois to Mississippi with that Bible in
the front seat. And people had a problem with her.
And she even as she got an age fan and
she would always say the same thing. I know because
I heard her say it, they'd be like, you gonna
have to stop driving out here by yourself. She said,

(24:52):
God is my co pallet. She would, I always tell
you that, And it's almost like you wanted to tell
them every year y'all say this to this woman, she
goes say the same thing. Can you get it or not?
If she was telling you that she didn't have to
trust nobody to sit in the seat with her because
God was traveling with her at all times. She didn't
leave without her word because she believed everything, the foundation

(25:12):
of the word. Everything she regurgitated with God, everything she spoke.
If you went through something, she was gonna come to you,
not empty handed, but with that Bible in our hands.
So as young people, you already know if that aunt
was coming near you with that Bible and you wanted
to go outside and play, you was not trying to hear.
And then she said, so we I'm just being honest,

(25:34):
how we were soon as she come, we'd been like
the pune right out that dough because we already know
she's gonna come with the words. I would I learn
and I ran tracks so I knew how to run
up out the house. I'm telling you Now, the only
way you would getting me back in that house was
buy some food. Now I'm talking about you gonna lure
me back in the house with some of that homemade
ice cream. You know that we ain't supposed to eat

(25:54):
till a set, but we eat it before then. So
I barely beat a little toe up because we done
ate stuff. We wanted to call before it got the process,
and so we were those kind of kids. But when
it was time for her to just talk to us,
we didn't receive what she had. Well, a lot of
my family didn't know my history as a young person,

(26:14):
and I'm not ashamed of my history. I just know
that I'm not there. But there's some things I choose
not to do. There's some places I choose not to go.
There's some people I choose not to be around. That's
because what they would do. Sometimes people will say triggers
what they would do. Some people still laugh, young people
still laugh about things that happened to me when I

(26:35):
was younger. I was bullied when I was younger. I'm
talking about I was beat up in front of my house,
in front of everybody on the street. I was that
bullied kid. I was abused kids, verbally, mentally, physically everything.
And I was a kid that had their innocence taken
at a young age before I even knew who I was,
to be honest about it. So when you go through

(26:56):
things and you have nobody but your head, I didn't
know how to trust anybody. I didn't even know how
to cry out to God because I was so young.
But like I said, every time the person that knew
how to cry out to them, I would run from her.
But I needed to be running to her to find
out how to mentally, physically and emotionally get out of

(27:17):
my situation. But there was one time in my life
as I grew up, I couldn't grow out of what
I was in. It kept getting worse and worse being
around you know, like I said, somebody took your innocence,
even as an adult when we have to even come
in the same presence. And now I'm to the point
where I say I'm not going I'm not going to
be around them because what they do is laugh about

(27:38):
what happened. But that's not fair to a young person.
So in my mind, I was losing my mind. I
was losing my mind. But there was a time for
me to shut out. I shut out my childhood. I
shut out everything. And there's a lot of young people
that go through things mental, physical, emotional, verbal abuse, and

(27:59):
you not understan But I would go around family that
would say, when you were born, you were ugly, and
the only way we people would be able to look
at you, we put you on pretty clothes? What child?
All day? Every time they came around family members or whatever, Well,
who wants to hear that? Who wants to hear that
you weren't claimed as a child because you weren't a

(28:20):
pretty baby? Who wants to hear something like that? That's
a form of bullying. I don't care what anybody says.
So I was so clustered or I'm just saying closed out.
In my mind, I trusted no one. I didn't care
about nobody saying anything when they said I was ugly.
All I have it'shed in my mind that I was ugly.
So as a teenager, what do you think I did?

(28:42):
I pasted my face painted on my face so thick.
I was trying to hide the ugly that everybody said
I was. I tried to hide who I was. But
underneath all those maybeling or whoever layers just what that
was somebody that it doesn't matter what I look like
on the outside. God didn't care nothing about my outside.

(29:04):
He cared about my inside. But there was nobody or
I didn't allow anybody to help me get to the
point where I trusted him and I could listen. I
had one young lady, one young lady that I started
working at a job as a at about twenty something
years old, and some years I think it's about nineteen

(29:24):
ninety I'm gonna say about nineteen ninety nine. I'm gonna
give nineteen ninety nine, nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety nine.
There was a young lady who invited me to church,
to her church. I went to everybody church growing up,
and as a young adolescent I went gip it in,
hobbiting and not knowing, not feeling like I belonged anywhere.

(29:47):
Still because I'm you know, my past was closed out. Mentally,
I still had to hear verbal abuse by people didn't
matter kids whoever, the teenagers, adolescents and jobs wherever I went,
I had to hear it. But when I started at
this corporate job and I got a job working in
a training department, I worked with a young lady.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
That was our secretary, and she went to this church.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Now, me being one that I was, I was a
Baptist kid, and I go. I was a cmme you know, Christmas,
Mother's Day, Easter, that's when I went to church. But
there was a young girl who went to a spirit
field church, non denomination. She invited me to her church.
So I told my sister, let us go to church.
But uh, we're gonna go to church with her. And

(30:35):
once I went. The first time, I walked in the
door in South Dallas. And when we walked in the
door correct. You know, when correction goes for it, some
people can't handle it because the first thing they say,
when they first of all they read them from Scripture,
they allowned everything they say up with the words, and
you know it's the word because you done heard it,

(30:55):
but you never heard it like this. What correction came
for me and my sister went in that church and
we would send up both of our eyes booked and
we looked like, oh my god, this is real. It's
almost like, oh, may you go here. You're gonna have
to get it together. You can't just be seeing me
up in here. You gonna be up in here. You
gotta be ready when you come in here. So we went,

(31:18):
we experienced, and then both of us got in the
car saying we ain't going back in there no more
because they he don't play with you up in there.
And we were looking like and guess what. Guess who
couldn't run from the one uh who invited us. I
couldn't because she was the secretary. The only way I
can get away from that girl is if I changed

(31:39):
my job. So I had to hear her saying when
you coming back to church, when you're gonna come back
to visit, and I want it in my regular mind
to say, girl, ain't going back up in there, but
I would say, oh, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming,
and then she's every week. I couldn't but to feel

(32:00):
I had to pass her. If I had to turn
in paperwork, I had to turn it into hub of Felicia.
When a you coming back to church and I'm like, girl,
I'm coming, and then you got I got irritated one
day to where it's like I got a peace when
I said it this time, and I was like, and
you huffed a yeah, huffed, I'm not gonna lie. I said,

(32:20):
I'm gonna come Sunday, got it over with. I said, okay,
if I just got gonna get it over and she'll
leave me alone. I walked up into that building at
twenty three. That's when we went twenty three eleven Dad Street,
walked up the stairs, walked inside of the of the door,
the fouryer areas right before you walked into the sanctuary.

(32:41):
Her office. She was the secretary of the church, and
the passor's office was to the right. Passor's car wasn't
There was nobody else. I think she had opened the
church up. So when I walked in the doors, something
on the inside of me. There was an inside intercom
that said, this is your last chance. I'm looking around.

(33:01):
And then when you're looking around and you hear something
on the inside, but you're looking around for something on
the outside, you like, okay, this ain't you. I'm not
in Kansas no more. That's my mind. Where am I it?
That I can hear something on the inside, and that
I can hear it clear enough? So I done went
up into the church, sat down, service going on, praising,

(33:22):
words of service going on, and passed the gut up.
He was saying that for some of you. God said,
this is your last chance. This ministry is your last chance.
And when I tell y'all, the floodgates then opened up.
And there I done stood up on my hands up
receiving the Lord. I couldn't stop the crime. I didn't

(33:43):
understand what was going on. But it wasn't for me
to understand. It was for me to tap in. And
I had to tap into understanding that it wasn't about
me anymore. And God was tired of me running from
his voice, and I had to say and I had
to give up on my past and what people thought

(34:05):
about me, because if I didn't give up on that
mentally and emotionally, I wouldn't know him. For today how
I know him. And that's one of the things from
my childhood to that Yes Lord, or me releasing myself
and getting him all the way from that, from childhood

(34:29):
on running and everything. One of the things that made
me proud when I said, yes Lord, I accepted him
as my Lord Jesus in Savior. One of the things
I can say I had to do was I had
to when we gave it to a family gathering in Mississippi,
and that Bible told unt came in there. I wasn't

(34:50):
the kid running out anymore. I was older, I was grown,
fitting around her and saying, and I had to apologize
for running and saying. I had to say these words
I understand now because I had to start reading. I
had to start yielding. I had to start learning how

(35:11):
to walk with God and trust him before man. I
had to learn about theocracy, which is God rule, and
get away from democracy man or people ruled or ytocracy
man rule. I had to learn that God was gonna
have the ultimate voice in my life. And I understood
why she trusted that he was the best person to

(35:31):
ride with her. So I had to apologize for being
that kid that always look at her as the crazy
Bible Tolne. And that's how we looked at her, because
none of us had time. I'd rather I was. I
was an alcoholic back then, because as a young person
I started being one. I had to tell her I
don't cause I asked one thing. I asked God when
I stood up and I started going to church over

(35:54):
and over again, I said, take the desire of cutting
people out and drinking. And that same week, all that
I asked, because you ain't gonna get inning if you
don't ask for it. That same week that I put
that on, just at the alt and I asked him,
He gave me that strength to do it, cold turkeys everything.

(36:19):
That's what it is about you. From childhood to now.
I had to be a yielded vessel and push away
me to get more of him. Now, every day it's
a it's a tackle, it's a it's a because you know,
the devil will come messing with you. But who wins.
God's gonna win at all times. I cannot. You can
only run so long. But as a kid, I ran
because I was running from my past. But I trust

(36:42):
God now now and forever will I ever trust him.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I said, I tell you what you just don't know
my my codes, my brother and teaching. And said, man,
I got to say, so teach that you know both.
Always give you that respect. Man, you can go in
first bull tday.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Okay, thank you so very much, Miss Felisa. I want
to say thank you, thank you, thank you for your testimony.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. God God is so good.
Now I'm going to tell you what you just told me.
This is what you said. God, God putting me in

(37:32):
the area. Well I can I can. I can start
off by giving sweets away in I learned how to
be sweets from being people who really knew how to cook.
They knew how to do that kind of cooking down
in Mississippi. And that's where my my journey begins, and

(37:57):
my journey begin Like this, don't try to run from
the Lord to see God, to see me, to see me.
Now you can say, look, God is first in her life.
But at one time I was trying to run from
the Lord while being a while being a youngster, I

(38:21):
met Christ in Mississippi with my aunt. My mom was
the one who who taught me how to cook. She
taught me how to cook with fresh fruit and vegetables
and things like that. But she was also trying to
teach me how to learn about God. Learned to go
to church. She kept a Bible. She kept a Bible

(38:44):
with her all the time. The Bible was the word,
It was her math, It was her guide, and then
it was it was her everything. God was her guide.
Her conversation was God is the one. God is my
I had a lot to learn, and I didn't know it.

(39:04):
I didn't know that I had a lot to learn.
I didn't know who to trust. I didn't know how
to trust. I learned to trust in the Lord by
reading the words. Now, before I read the word, I
didn't even know what the word meant. I was being
talked about. I was being told every I was. And

(39:27):
then I was also learning that God cared about my
inside and not my outsider. Church was the answer. I
was saved and my life changed. People. God is real.
I could not run from the Lord. I had a

(39:48):
pace over there. I think it was twenty three eleven
Dash Street was this place. It was my last chance.
Pastor said, this is your last chance. He was talking
to me. I could fit it. I didn't understand it,
but I could feel it. And he was saying, give
up on the past. And I said, yes, Lord, Yes, Lord,

(40:14):
thank you Jesus. We have a future. I found the
Lord and I understand. Now God is the answer. So
take the world out of my life, take the world
out of your life. Jesus is the answer. And I
believe you, believe you. I believe that. I believe that.

(40:37):
That's what we believe. That's what we try to say
all the time. God is the answer. And may take
us a little while to get to know what they
answer is, but once you found the Lord and save it,
Jesus Christ, you'll be the first one to let everybody
know whenever you run into someone, you'll have a testimony.
And your testimony is Jesus is the sure. I understand

(41:02):
that's what you told me. And I believe you, Felicia,
God bless you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you. You know, I just want
to see hallelujah. I can just keep repeating that hallelujah, hallelujah. Yeah,
but waits the Lord for that testy that that's so
Will Will Simony, and and I know that that's going
doesn't it. But with someone first of all, I want

(41:29):
to just uh let her know, appreciate her entrepreneur's the
spirit and all the things that she's gone through and
she's she's an entreneur. And I and I saw your
your picture on the Facebook page. Hey you're beautiful. I
don't know where that you know that you're ugly, but
uh but we know, you know, I've heard people her

(41:51):
others and I know one of our guests.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
On the podcast has talked about that and and and.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
As I mentioned, energy that we've gone through, and then
we're in these situations where we're just hurting each other.
But but but God, you know, God loves you. You
could tell because God was speaking to you. And that's
a message for for someone. If God is speaking to you,
don't dismiss that He's trying to get your own fature

(42:21):
to turn around, you know, headed in the right direction.
And another thing I thought about, you missed about the
Bible putting out. Now we had one of those, uh,
I mean told her and the rest about that, remember,
but Louise, she was always talking about the Bible. But
praise the Lord. So that the was in our life

(42:41):
is just like the other uh, our other family members,
but all of them, uh, were not into the Bible.
So we had childes also. But then and like you
brought that out about all the trauma that you experienced,
that the bullying abuse, But now look at you today.

(43:03):
Praise the Lord, how fought. The Lord has to follow you.
And God can bring anybody that's going through something like that,
the law can bring you out of it. Listen to
what this Felicia is saying, right and I because here
the joy in her voice. You know that then, and
that she souls without sold out or heavenly pody, not

(43:27):
not not man. She has a personal relationship, which right,
and that's the most important thing, not with anyone else, No,
no man, no woman. What the relationship with her over

(43:47):
because he knows your past, you know, he knows what
you need. You just have how to just invite him in.
And it doesn't matter what you've done. You may think, oh,
I've done this and I or it doesn't matter. May
have abused the drugs, alcohol, you abuse your body, it

(44:09):
doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Just God.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Man will try to imagine that for God to get that.
God doesn't remember that you're a new creature in a
heavenly bother. And that's what this Felicia is talking about,
how she became a new how all the complain creature
And it's not easy. Things can be busy, and again

(44:35):
this cliche as we talk about people try to get
you going back into the wrong direction. But no long
as you stay in a price, he'll stripping you. And
we should stay focused for our heavenly father. HM. Who
also I just thought about selling the other things he
talked about, the whole lead ice stream and all that.

(44:56):
I can understand why the told her, But this relationship
with you because some of the experiences that you talk about,
the experiences that that we had also, and that just
being on the podcast. And yes, folks or just don't
even know anyone that's struggling with what this Alisha has

(45:19):
talked about. Listen to what she's saying, don't give up,
don't don't up. There's hope as long would you trust
our heavenly Father and listen to that inner Boys talks
about and in the al Ah, look at your heart,

(45:42):
God looks at your heart. Thanks again, this lusiag on
the podcast.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
This Relasia. Let me let me jump in just one
more time, real, real quick. You are coming here today
is more than just the testimony. It's just it's it's
something more than that. And I'm saying it because today,
my church, my sermon, my learning experience today was similar

(46:13):
to what you were saying right now. And it says
it pays to serve the Lord. It pays us to
serve the Lord. And it was taken from numbers six,
twenty two through twenty seven, and it's telling your same

(46:35):
testimony that you were talking to us about a few
moments ago. And when you get an opportunity you read
that and you'll say, I know what that little boy
was trying to tell me now exactly. It pays. You
are telling us exactly what was told to me this morning.
It pays to serve the Lord. It pays us. Thank you,

(46:58):
thank you again.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Watch you know you know the thing that that registered
with me, and I know it registered with Bruce. You
know a lot of times when you when you come up,
you know, we didn't we didn't think we were poor
because we had we had meat. We had some much meat.
You know, you know we we we we don't. We

(47:20):
praised you a stake for some captain crunch, some mus meet.
My dad had was killed a cow, I mean, had
a time to do pigs and stuff. But the kids
was will teased us because of where we lived at
and and I just remember when you were talking about
the kids teasing you. I just remember getting teased so

(47:41):
much because I was yellow and they say, come a
yellow boy, yea boy, yeah boy yr boy. So and
uh it was bad because I used to get a
yellow crayola. You brought back memories to me. I used
to get a yellow crayola and I used to mark
it on my arm and I'm like, I'm not yellow.
Just yell I'm not yell. I'm not yello, you know.

(48:03):
And and and I thank God for the fact that
my mom told us that a lot of times people
will will try to say stuff to you to get
you to fight. Because she told us something. I know
Boots will remember that she said it's better to say
there he goes than there he lay. Yeah, and that
that that registered with us.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Uh, so we didn't. We didn't get in, no some
one not you'll to fight. You know, you couldn't. You
couldn't make us mad enough to what we were gonna
fight you because you were saying something negative about us.
That's why our smile so much to not laugh and
much because whenever he was talking about him, I would
be laughing. And so for you to to to tell
your experience, man, And I know some little girls are

(48:46):
going through that right now. I know some some some
kids are going through that right now. Were that being
because we already know how much bullying is going on
right now, the billing so much so people little kids
are taking their lives now, you know. And and I
just I'm just so thankful that that God, that you
make it through all of the bullets and now you're

(49:06):
sick up. You on the boat with TJ, bruising myself
going fish for soul.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
But that is that is exciting to me to know
that God knew that you eventually one day come on
the boat with Bruce and TJ myself and then am
I producing violence to go fishing for soul? Because your testimony,
your testimony, it's different. It's different, and that's what we do.
We bring people on with different testimony that that that

(49:34):
people can understand that God is still real, He's still
doing miracles. Because you talked about going in the church
and and it was it was on the inside. He's like,
what's just going on? Talking to me and and and
the Lord. The Lord is day trying to talk to
his children, but they don't want to listen. They don't

(49:55):
want to listen. And you coming on here today, you're
telling them that you you heard him and you left
them and look at you to that what a what
a what a blessing? What?

Speaker 3 (50:09):
This is the some of the last words that she
said in our testimony, she said, I found the Lord.
Now I understand God is the answer. So take the
world out of your life and put God into your life.
Jesus is the answer. Those were some of the last

(50:32):
things that she said in her testimony. I found the Lord.
That's a miracle. That's that's that's lick.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
I found the Lord, you know, and teachers talking about that.
That was one of the reasons why I wanted to
get you on. Get your testimony, not just be heard
in this city, because people keep the kids are getting
bullied all over the world. People are going through changes
all over the world exactly, and and you and you

(51:03):
can give people your your testimony will give people hope. Yes,
it's gonna give people hope because I know with Bruce
and TV it's we already excited you I'm surprising on
her sniffing and stuff, crying. We feel you know, you
see that I'm to give it to me, you know,
because because you are poor herd. That's why I said

(51:24):
you're gonna be back again next week, because that's just
that's just the tip.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Of what he wanted to say. So again saying again,
take the world out of my life, right, take the
world out of just take the world out the world,
isn't it. God is the answer? And that's what you're
saying in us. You're telling us that that's that's what
we know. That's what we want everybody to hear from us.

(51:49):
You're just you're just falling right behind us, that's all.
You're just catching up with us saying they've been saying
that for the last twenty a half.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
You that's what we do, you know, I know, I
know with with her, you know, like we can't how
we grew up and stuff. I know you that has
to touch a touch a little bit. So many things
that she was saying, you know, it's just kind of
just just I mean, because it hit me, you know
when ye had hit me car. And we know with

(52:18):
the with suicideum being a problem with her young folks.
And but as she she's saying, learned to fight back,
and then how do you do that? Her? Your life
over to Jesus Christ. Do that's that's the number one
thing you need to do to fight this battle. Go

(52:39):
all hands. And I know it can be real, real difficulty.
And I know she talked about the bullets and situations
when I was younger, but you know, but I want know,
to be honest with I thought back, yeah and that

(53:00):
and that bullying stopped.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
But uh.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Yeah, but the praise off her testimony and I know one,
but what what we're saying and uh allowed to have
Spotter to elect you and you'll you'll let you know
there'll no places in your heart, I mean what you
need to do at that moment. We because we're all
we all are unique. I mean we're all go. I

(53:31):
mean the experiences may sound similar what we don't through,
but we all are different. We're all made up district
I mean, are how we were raised parents in our
life and.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Not in our lives.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I mean we're just all are just different. But but
our bother he knows you know about you don't nobody
knows you like our spots there and he'll help you,
he'll direct you. Just go all in, as Miss Felicia's

(54:07):
saying that she's.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Go all in.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
So don't wait and you'll do watch your past. Just
keep going towards your life and he'll give you the
peace that you're speaking. He'll give you that joy. People
which were trying to hurt you, but they will only
be hurting himself. Just put all your trusts christ As

(54:34):
that she had talked about and these are real experiences.
And one other thing just will want to press don't
play with her heaven a father, don't play. If Jesus
directing you with that whole experience directing you to do something,
do it and may be your last chance. They will

(54:57):
thanks again on the par good thing. We got about
got about four minutes for us. So if you're still
fishing for subject, we're gonna have to show you right.
We're gonna have to throw your riding mill in the water.
Want more time? How would you do with somebody if
you know, because whatever you want to say that you
can put somebody's heart and uh, and then we'll shut

(55:19):
this thing down for next week.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
What I would say to you know, to be honest,
every day that you walk, I don't walk by myself.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
I walk with my husband. I'm grateful for prayer. I'll
tell you I got that next week on him because
I had to pray and God was good.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
So if you got if you walking with people praying,
just any time you got a situation when I love
about people and is they'll say they'll pray for you
and not p r e y on you. And if
you keep prayer first and not act like others. If
you even if a person puts you down and look
down on you, you look up. I keep my eye up.

(56:01):
I give people eye contact. If you can't give me
eye contact, the only thing that keeps you know those
I don't let people say sister sometimes because sometimes if
they say sister, listen to the s So if they
got that, if they got a way where they're talking down,
you have to bring yourself up.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Every day.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I encourage me every day. I look at myself and
say you got this. Every day. If something happens, I'm
not even gonna lie to you. I say not today.
You could say not today, Satan, and then you say
but but God. You gonna say but God, because you
letting the Satan know? Where's he under your feet? At
all times? Anyway I wear sizey leven shoe. I'm gonna

(56:41):
keep him up under my feet. If you live under that,
what I'm gonna stop him real good. And I'm gonna
always look to Jesus, from which come in my help
he got, He's my help. I trust only God. And
when people people, I don't care if it's a male
or female. If they don't love God, we have no conversation.
It's no conversation because I can't. I can't be around

(57:04):
people who can't because it's like you got the spirit
of a narcissist. You got to have the spirit of God.
But if it's always that person all the time, that
you'll never get a word in edge wide about God
if you can't. If you can't say God and somebody
receives it and they push you away, what you do
is keep pressing towards the mark. You know what He's

(57:26):
told you to do. And I had been running from
a call and I still be trying to be looking
when bastle say, somebody be like coast. You know, I
don't want to do that. I had I run every
once in a while from a call when he actually
when he calls out to our heart, we have to
respond at all times. I never want to be in
the place where I'm not responsive to him and his voice.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
I ran for two longs.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
I can't run no more.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
