Speaker 4 (03:45):
That was the commercial slogan. Yeah, that show us how
far back we're going.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, it's it's I'm telling you it's.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I mean, we've had some good years, we've had some
good years, we've seen some aging, we're seeing some the errors,
the errors, you know, e r as just you know,
blossoming and growing and what technology has done. And I
am sure before I go on any further. Matt Amen, Hey,

(04:15):
so yes, my student, he was so young, Malcolm. When
I saw that on face and I posted it, I'm
just and I'm trying to go into TMC to see
what happened. My daughter later tells me that I guess
he was caught up by with a current or something.
He was in Costa Rica with his daughter. I didn't

(04:35):
even know the man had a child.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
He was also he.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Did a podcast three days ago. I didn't know he
had a podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I just sat for a minute, because it's not about
age anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
He was only fifty four years old.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And what happened to the little people, the campers in
Texas last week and a week before last, And it's
not about age anymore. You can't say, oh, he was
ninety three, Well, you know, he's done his time or
she's done a No, can't say that because I've got
six year olds and ten year olds gone, I've got
babies and Neo Nato. I just found out a little
baby girl was in the hospital. Now we're praying for her.

(05:11):
Nobody knows. They can't diagnosed her, you know. And I'm like,
you know, there's no age thing to this. It's how
you're living. And when your timer says okay, times up,
times up, And this is gonna segue. And my co
hosts are not aware of this because I know, and
we're gonna still talk about your public service. But I
heard something extremely disturbing this morning on one of the

(05:35):
young Men podcasts. He was very entertaining and a handsome,
talented young man.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yes, Mickey, he was just.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Coming into his Sherlocks show and he was on the
medical Rookies or one of those shows Chicago Met or
one of those shows what he was doing and.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Fifty four.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
But I want to segue into something I heard this morning,
and I listened to a young man named Nick jonas
Seas on YouTube. Young man that talks about the Lord
and really goes into the heart of the people. He's like,
he's the age of a millennial, I believe. And he's
talking about Elon Musk's new project, the groch Rachi or

(06:12):
Grocy whatever it's called. And basically what he is setting
out to do is something as a movie that I
saw millions of years ago back home. It wasn't Twilight Zone,
it was it was in color, and it was maybe
in then it had to be in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I was an adult.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
And in this this man engineer or high you know,
he made good money and he lived into in an
apartment building that looked like something the Jetsons would, you know,
like high up in the air and orbit orbital and
all that.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And he had a maid.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
It was a robot, and the robot she was blonde
haired and very you know, brick house looking, you know,
twenty four, thirty six, twenty four and you know, and
she had all the right moves and stuff like that.
And this man is sitting there drinking and one night
he's looking at her just really lustfully. And from there,
you know, the rest is history.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Here it is now. Nick talks about her movie that
came out in twenty thirteen, and it starts as.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
If it's twenty twenty five, the year twenty twenty five,
but it was from twenty thirteen where they began to
have robots to become companions to human people and the rest.
And they interviewed a couple of people. There was one man.
He's sitting there vaping on TV, and he's a computer.

(07:36):
He puts computers together or something, and he's got I
think she's a wife, not sure if it's a girlfriend,
but I know he's got a companion and they have
a baby girl.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
And he talks about how he puts his computers together.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
And he started using AI Simple, just simple, and apparently
AI ran out of whatever, and so he found out
how to get her going, get it going again already,
and made it more personable, made it more relational. And
here you are, you got somebody and you're in there

(08:09):
telling and you can hear them having this things that happening.
I'm danger, yes, misty, and he's talking to this thing
is talking back to him as if it's a regular person,
and basically he's made her his girlfriend. So the reporter
says to the wife to the young lady, well, how
do you feelsh? She I'm very upset about this. So
I'm looking at her like now, I want to digress

(08:29):
a little bit here, because just a day or two
ago it came up in my mind. I don't know
if I was watching something or look at something on
Facebook where women were just trying to keep a man.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
They're trying to keep their men, but whatever case. I mean,
man could go out and they're.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Introducing, you know, lustful things into their marriage just to
keep the man happy.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I was just saying this.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Really talking about I'm looking at whatever I was looking at,
and I was like, you're just trying to keep it.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
He's crazy.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
And I know I know of young lady who don't
look as presentable as they would like to be. They
could be overweight, they could have acne, they can have whatever,
but they're.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Not happy with themselves. And I'm gonna go with women first.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
And when a man steps to you, oh my god,
it's Bomb's first first thing in air, and it's like,
oh my god, somebody likes me. And it could treat
you like crap. Bring in other relationships that doesn't seem
worth doing. Yeah, all it gets worse, Misty because Musca's
come out and said, this is what we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
This is gonna make the world better, he said it.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
So he's creating on I mean, he's rolling them out now,
life size and even subscriptions to these animated things, these
these these doll like robot things, and he's making it
where and it's and it's gonna be affordable to people.
Actually went on to say in the news that this

(09:57):
is going to probably replace porn pornography, replace it. And
by the end of the show, the reporter asked the
wife and or the girlfriend again, are you is this
gonna be cool? And by the end of the show
she already said it's fine as long as he's happy,
he stays here with us. He's a father to his child,

(10:17):
his daughter, whatever it's gonna take.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
And that's the world that we're in now.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
The reason why I felt the Lord wanted me to
bring this up is what some of the influencers not
even an influencer. Young lady, simple looking, young lady. She
got into it. She don't have to worry about getting
a real boyfriend anymore, because he says her little.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Jet Chat GPT act whatever that is.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Says exactly what she needs. And they've already formed a community.
And she said, we don't have to go out anymore.
I don't have to worry about being embarrassed to go out.
I can enjoy myself right here and the thousands of
dollars later, No, thank you, right, Charles, exactly, because it's
gonna get you. It's gonna bite you from the back end.

(11:05):
And I was thinking about, is I'm listening to this
this morning.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
The luring? When did this luring start? Well? Gaming? These
kids on the game, these kids.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Getting angry because they lost the race, they lost the
character loss, So whatever the case may be, they first
had to throw the lure out there, the bait, and
see if we could get you, and if we can
get them on this gaming thing that they sitting there,
you're talking to it. I remember counseling sessions where parents
will bring their child in for therapy and because the

(11:37):
child won't do nothing if you threaten to take the game,
they try to kill all the parents.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And we've had some.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Of those instances, instances on news, real life. Even your
children that have autism or developmental issue, neurological, you get
them in front of.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
A game, you couldn't tear them away.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
They will go kicking and screaming because they've already already
took the bait. Same for adults. The only thing I
need to say to my people out there, whoever is listening,
and whenever you're listening, please get your emotions in check.
I don't care how you look, it doesn't matter. Forget
about anybody being bullied or whatever. Please do not disconnect

(12:17):
from human interaction now. I'm not saying you if for
those of you in an abusive situation, I'm not saying that
it's time to pray like you've lost your mind, praying
all the time, all the time, praying for each other,
praying for your family. It's time for you to know
what you're calling is. If you don't know what it is,

(12:38):
you call me, will pray. God will give an answer.
I promise you he will. But don't you dare find
yourself going over and taking that bait, because oh good,
I don't have to go out good.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
It don't matter what I look like and my check thingy,
you'll take me.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
It takes me as is and he'll see he says
the thing and the lady girl said it.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
They say what I needed to say. They say what
I need to hear.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
But yet they're in a community though online, but they
don't want to be in the community in person.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Don't fall for that trap.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
If you know somebody that's doing that, you need to
be make sure they're on your prayer list. You need
to be talking to them about Jesus Christ, talking to
them about their emotions and getting to the bottom of it,
because I know most of this came from childhood.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Even the bully came from childhood.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Nisha just want to throw because I think we had
a conversation about this earlier a while back. But people
are not They don't know how to socialize. People are
socially is it an f or awkward? They're on the phone.
I mean literally, if you go places, people on the dates,
people are on the phone. I said, well, why are

(13:48):
you on to day? You could have done this at
the house. People don't know how to communicate.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
And kids do not.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
The younger generations don't know how to community cake because
they're communicate on the phone.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
There thing.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
It's like social avoidance, so they can't carry a conversation.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I hate Texans, all right, I.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Mean, I'll do it, but when you're asking me, if
it's like long conversation, I'll pick up the phone because
I can't get what you're saying, and you're probably not
getting what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
It leaves out a lot in it, and it's a
lot of.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Misconceptions because you can say something in the Texas but
not mean it that way.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
So I like to connect. That's that's me.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
But a lot of people are getting away from that
avoidance of eye contact. People are walking down the street,
crossing the street looking down on their phones and I
think you and or the earbuds or the earphones in
and so you're you're, you're you're you're tuning out people,
which becomes kind of dangerous too. If you're walking, you
can't hear anything, you know, people look up, look.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Up, look up, because they're coming straight at me. I
can't go around and I'm like, look up, look up,
and then oh, sorry, what could be in their phone?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
What could be said?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
You got to texting, not talking. I'm telling you people,
like you said, people on a day, the couples just
sit down and go to the phone after they've ordered.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
What are you doing? I don't, I don't, but it's
but it's it's a lot of that. It's a lot
of that.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
It's a lot of people just isolating themselves in public,
isolating themselves.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
In public to the point not speaking.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Don't see you don't know how to communicate, don't know
how to respond. You know, emotions are high, and you're
seeing this on the game. This is what you're supposed
to do. Avoidance of reality. And people, yeah, they're they're
stuck in these games and they think they're part of
that world.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yes, you know.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
And it's violent stuff. It's some violent stuff on these
games and all the time. And I'm not really familiar
about child, you know, development, but I know if you're
on early on, your brain hasn't even developed to see
some of the stuff or hear some of the stuff
that you're doing. We used to do things as little kids,

(16:00):
go outside play. We didn't have all the technology. And
I feel very fortunate and blessed that I grew up
in the time that I did, because I know how
to communicate our probably shy, but I knew how to
respond to people eye contact, you know, shaking hands, you know,
when you're greeting somebody, not all this looking down and

(16:21):
who you speaking to. I'm not down here, I know,
I'm sure, but I'm up here.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
And it's sad. It really is very, very very sad.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
It's rolling into that now now that now we got
this brainiac doing this.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
And then it was funny.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
It was a lady who's been doing it as a
company replaceables or something like that.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's called something R.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
She's been doing it since twenty seventeen, providing these images.
Good evening, have a k I'm telling them I can't
put the phone down the iPad too. How many times
you don't got the play iPad for the child so
that the child will be preoccupied, And said, are you
talking to the child? Listening to the child? You'd be
surprised with the children to try to tell you ain't

(17:04):
even listening to anybody.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
And I just want to throw this one thing out too.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
And I'm not sure because but the ADHD, because of
the rapid movement of the screens with the games, doesn't
allot of that trigger the eighty eight the attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder because their eyes are like all over the
place and they're not able to focus.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
It's too much going on games. Okay, so I'm correct, Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yes, yes, yes, And it's here, it's we're in it,
and I begin I'm adding it to my prayer point
list on my vision board that anything that AI that.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Is evil be destroyed.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm gonna put it out there, and there's other things
I put with it. But and if the user don't
want to give it up, you go too. Because I'm
not leaving my country in the hands of these people,
robots and addicted people and addicting personalities. I'm not leaving
my country in your hands. I don't care how old
you are. You either prior you get to get your
emotions intact. I know what it's like to be bull

(18:03):
I know what it's like to have low self esteem.
I know what it's like to be depressed. I know
what it's like. I know, but you find a way
to dig your way out of that. Some people have
had to move cross country. Some people have.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
To leave your neighborhood, leave your.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Families, your brothers, and sisters is who I'm talking about,
not your husbands and wives. Some people you have to
go and find peace somewhere, find out what you're supposed
to do. Because I'm concerned about my emotional people, my
emotional I'm not my developmental people, not my neurological I'm
talking about my regular people who have a heartbeat, who

(18:38):
have emotions that are going just like this. You're so
desperate to keep a man, you're so desperate to get
a girl, and she's using you like crap. That's low
self esteem. You tolerating, that's low self esteem. Because God,
there's no word toleration. Tolerating is not in the Bible.
The word tolerating. God does to say you need to tolerate. No,

(18:59):
he didn't tell Joan. I told you, Jonah, go to
that country and tolerate. No, he said, no, I go
go tell them the news, Go tell them the message.
Oh why are you going over there? That's why you
get bit by a snake?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
You throw an off.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
I told you to go tell tell you to compromise.
I didn't tell you to tolerate.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I didn't. I didn't tell you to negotiate. There was
a human term.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
God put it out. You need therapy, I'll give it
to you for free. I'll come out of retirement tonight.
This is how crucial this is.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
You don't even see.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
And yes, Twilight Zone creature feature from our days when
we were kids, all that that cloning, all of that
robots looking like people, all of that came from somewhere,
and now it's really coming out right in front of you,
eyes wide shit, and you're not doing nothing about it.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Oh yeah, I'll serve a God who can do everything
about it, trust me.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
I think people back in I think if you look
at a week I know I grew up watching the
Jetsons and remember the flying the cars and the elevators
and the sliding sidewalks and the you can see people
while you're talking to on the phone. Look at it now,
who would have thought that was like the sixties or seventies.

(20:19):
I think when that came out on these who would
have like, say, thunk it? Who would have thunk it then?
And you're having a saint moving sidewalks, you go to
the airport, moving sidewalk or moving whatever that is, conveyor
belt you're doing that, you know, going off flying, you know,
different cars and stuff like that. Who would have thought
about that? And if you look at some of the movies,

(20:41):
I think it was I robot open right, look at that.
It seems like we're headed that way, and I think
it's another one might have been something similar. That might
have been, but something else prior to that was the
same where these robots kind of over and then when

(21:02):
your phone then when you couldn't downoud, you couldn't do anything.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
And it's this is scary.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
I mean, we're headed that way. It's there, We're there,
it's landed. It's landed.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
He's all.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
He's a block away, he's a minute away from making
it a subscription program.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Just past it. I know you chomping here.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
I can see it's it's it's just I just sat
still because I wanted everyone to really voice out certain
things that I'm going to be doing a series. I
haven't had a date yet, but it's called God's at War.
And the reason why I'm doing a series, it's because

(21:44):
pull are worshiping from God's pleasure, the God love God Funny,
it's a God, power, God self, It's a God. And
it's so interesting how all this com piling to take
the focus off of God. And here is where when

(22:07):
people study the Bible, they study it understand what is
being said. All this that's starting to pop up just
to let us know it's coming. Blood is coming. And
people laughed. Noah, he was building the ark in the
middle of a land. No one knew what rain was.

(22:31):
I keep telling people, Hey, people laughed at him. Guess
what they're doing to Christians day. We're laughing. He says,
there's no such thing as Jesus. Jesus. If Jesus was
going to come, he should have come already. People are
not understanding all part of a plan. When you start.

(22:52):
This is what's creating. This is what I mean by
this is what I mean by studying the Bible talks
about when Christ comes, there's a great host state. When
we take our focus completely away from God, all this
is starting to develop to create that host state where

(23:17):
we're not and I'm sorry for using the theological word,
but that's what it means. We're shifting the focus from
the creator to the gods. We want to create the idols,
we want to create good good. When it happens, we're
going to look like, oh no, really did happen. Like

(23:38):
everybody said, when the door closed, the rain started to fall.
So these are those things that it's not And please,
for our listeners, this is not scare the daylights out
of you. This is so we can make you aware.
Awareness is become it, it becomes crucial because now that

(24:02):
you have been made aware, next question is what do
you do with that information? You just put it on
the shelf and saying, well, let's see if it happens. No,
this is this is that doctor that says, hey, if
you don't stop with the suites, this is what's going
to happen if you don't start taking care of yourself.

(24:25):
Your blood pressure is going to create a stroke if
you don't start doing this. So it's to prepare you.
It's to let you know the worst case scenario. No,
it's a shame. I saw The Cosby Show and saw
Malcolm Warner. Do you know what's so? What's so frightening?
Everybody's like, Oh, I'm at my mid age crisis. People

(24:48):
would say I'm in my mid age crisis and I'm
forty five. Marcus Ramol was at his mid age crisis
twenty seven. Disheartening and look the girl that that was
that there was an Amberler in New York a nine
year old girl. Where did they find her? So her
mid age crisis was four and a half. That should

(25:10):
be alarming, and and and it's and it's we have
to understand this is the war that God the Father
has to fight for his plan to be fulfilled. That
what we're doing is we're being rebellious. Guess where that
comes from Old Testament where Israel was rebellious. They said, oh,

(25:33):
we're the chosen nation, we can do whatever we want.
That was the wrong attitude. Look what's happening now, We
really learn from the mistakes of others? Or do we
just continue the pattern? Because that's what it is, the
generational pattern. It's kind of break some way.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
And again, We've said it time and time again. None
of societal ill will ever go away. We will have
poor we will have poverty, we will have domestic violence,
we will have merciless killings, we will have abortions, we
will have liars, we will have gamblers. We're gonna have

(26:18):
people cheating systems. We're gonna have people doing things in
relationships and adultery and everything. We're gonna have that because
the Bible that we have studied never tells us it stops.
If we do, here's the template, it'll stop. No, but
he tells us. It tells us, It guides us on

(26:40):
how we could put a debt in it, how we
can lessen that load public service. We're feeding people at random.
We don't wait till Thanksgiving to feed them. We don't
wait till Christmas to feed them. We pray for those
women who get pregnant and think the only way out
is to go have to go kill that child, the infant,

(27:02):
the embryo. We pray for those people. We pray, and
you go find scriptures. You should always be busy. Your
downtown down time should be that of resting, but praying
and praying and praying.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm finding scriptures. That's blowing my mind.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Just doing my one hundred out loud day. Will you
take God, thank you for saving my soul. My soul
is my heart, my mind, my emotions. Thank you for
saving my soul and allowing me to use it as
a sacrifice. That scripture, my God. I don't know how
much more we can say. It's here, nothing's coming except

(27:43):
the end time. It's here, devastation everything, Look at, look around.
Was it in Mexico or a couple of days ago,
it was on Facebook the thirty two people died on
the little the boat capsized.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
What did you leep?

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
I'm sorry, that's right, that's right, Vietnam, thirty two people.
And that's not even the day to day.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
I want to go back to something that was said about,
you know, Christianity, and I think people need to make
sure that they understand what being a Christian means. And
some people that you see on and I'm just say television,
you know, some people praising people for being Christian, but
Christians don't do And I'm not saying this perfect. God

(28:29):
knows I am not far away from perfect, but I'm
working towards being more like Him and treating others the
way I would want to be treated, you know, recognizing
that I reap what I sew. So I'm trying to
sow in good seeds, right, so I can reap good.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Seeds and so.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
But when you when you be little so much as
seeming bad, it's definitely it seems bad.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
But you you just have to keep the faith, you know. Things.
I limit what I watch on television now because.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
I don't want to take too much in my ear
because I don't want it to stay in my head.
You can balance it out. Sure, you need to know
what's going on in the world, but limit what you
listen to what poured into this. I saw the program
the standing Yeah really, yeah, I haven't seen it, but

(29:23):
but just just be a mindful understanding what Christianity is.
And I think if you don't understand what being a
Christian is, then this is the great show to do it.
You know, I'm learning in faith and walking learning every day,
but definitely trying to improve what I've from.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
The day before.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
You know, each stay improving on what I've done the
day before, and recognizing I need to work on this
for me because if I want people to be christ Like,
I need to.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Show them what christ Like looks like.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
And christ Like is not all this foolishness and belittling
and name calling and trying to make others seem like
they are less than you.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Don't do that. That's not Christianity, that's not being a Christian.
That's not God like.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Jesus would not do that, amen, exactly. And so that's
what you need to understand and don't get caught up
if you see people doing that and then they're calling
themselves a Christian. Then you need to find someone else
to moordew. You need to find someone else to moordrow.
Get you a spiritual mentor somebody that's walking what you
see consistently walking the walk and talking to talk.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
That's the only way.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
And when I say I am feeling better in my
stance right now, I mean that. And so it's not that,
like I said, not perfect, but I will say that
I am saved, and so I pray all of this.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
It's yes, that the armor of God.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yes you amen, Amen.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I couldn't have said it better.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
And remember now, there's no perfection, So don't say, oh,
you know, I'm not perfect. No that the Bible don't
even talk about that. The perfectionism is Christ Jesus who
is born of a virgin.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
It's the perfection is.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
God coming down in the sign and foundation of man
to get this right. Remember now he was done. Malachi
was the end of the chapter, the end of the books.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
That was it. Noah flood, that was it. And it
took God for a boy four hundred years, they say, for.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Him to say, you know what, I got to get
this A try because I know this is gonna work.
This has got the work some kind of way. Somebody's
gonna stand up. But I gotta do it differently.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
So it's more like Jesus. So when you say that,
what is like? What is Jesus? What did he do?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Go back and study those four first four Gospels. Study that,
stay right there until you understand Jesus. Not trying to
predict nothing, not trying to no. Stay in those four chapters,
those four chapters, those four books, rather talk about a
different picture description of Jesus, the same Jesus, one one person,

(32:00):
but four different opinions, four different things that they saw,
four different things that they thought was important for mankind.
I thank God for the Bible. I thank God. I
don't want to hear nothing from nobody else. You don't
have to teach me. I'm good. I got the word.
And when I don't understand, I take it to him.
And never in times in my life that I said,
I'm not doing another I'm not praying for nobody. I'm

(32:23):
not going to go to church. I'm not till I
know your voice. Till I know your voice, because this
is getting too crazy. And now it's the craziest of time,
the craziest and is today. You make up your mind.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
If you choose that you if you're still pushing back,
if you're still eh.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
We're not talking to you. I gotta go there. And
I'm speaking for myself. I'm not talking. I'm not putting
words in my other co host mouth mouth.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I'm teaching. I'm talking to you me.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
If you can't do it, we got you, because God
already knows your heart.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
The low self esteem has got to stop. The depression
has got to stop. You've got to dig your way
out of this one. You've got to dig your way out.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
And the only way is to believe in God and
reach that guy.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Put your praise and worship music on it could be
Christian music, and listen to the words and let those
words get into you. Go to the Lord's prayer. Our Father,
with our name hollow would be thy name? Just research
his name. What are the names of God.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
There's books out there that already said the names of God,
Thy Kingdom. Come, you will be done.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
I will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily break. Give me what
I need Today. I went to the grocery store, and
I could have gone. There's other things I need to do,
but no, I'll be on the other side of town tomorrow.
Why use the gas to go on the other side
of town when I'm gonna be over there tomorrow. I
just have to space everything out. Fit everything, everything fitted

(33:53):
so perfectly, went to the grocery store. I've got my list.
This is what we're here to do. This is what
I need to get. And I'm speaking everybody. Hello, how
are you even? I got my mask off. They could
see it in my eyes. It's nice to see you.
I hope you have a great day to day. There's
not much you got to come out outside yourself.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I can remember when I first came home from the hospital.
The last thing I wanted to do was be in public.
When I still had my limbs. I'm bandaged all up.
I got yellow bandages, and you know, Mss Tammy would
come and clean my all my spots and very carefully
clean my necrotic fingers and limbs and toes.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
And I couldn't even think about going outside. But I
had to go.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
I had to go to my medical appointments, and then
I had to stand for people looking at me, but
my mind, the spirit man rather in me, reminded me
after I read the progress notes, after my daughter told
me about the beginning of this thing, that I could
not remember, after I was admitted to the hospital, that
I died, not once, but twice. How dare I make

(34:59):
God feel like he made a mistake with me? How
dare I think you got to count me out? I
can't do this, walk around looking like this, looking like this, my.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Whole life turn upside down. You gotta going worse? Come
to me? Is that worse? You got something worse than me.
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Let's go, because if I can do it, you can too.
But it takes faith. It takes dying to yourself. It
takes saying God, for.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
God, I live, and for God I die.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
It's telling your children, I've taught you everything I know.
You are on your own. It's changing allowing God. I'm
dying to myself. I'm dying daily to myself. People out
there doing things, you owe me, money, you acting all
up crazy, you trying to steal from whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
But I got to die. I got to die to myself.
I'm not out this world. I'm just passing through. And
he brought me back. I know that's not your testimony.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
I know you can't understand that, but he brought me
back to finish your work. And nobody human, robody, billionaire, trillionaire,
the poorest person in this world. You not going to
get in my way because death couldn't even stop.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Not many of you can handle that.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Not many of you can handle this and still be
in your right mind. So cut it out and let's go.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Let's go. You need therapy. I won't charge you.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
You call me, let's go, but you gotta be ready
to let go.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
I work with you.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Go ahead, if I may, If I may add to that,
Miss Gray, I just had a conversation today with with
someone who who is really fighting a lot of demons
in the sense that he was addicted to drugs, addicted
to many things, and he had submitted himself or turned

(36:56):
himself over to Christ a year ago and he was baptized.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
He's still fighting these these these voices. When I asked
them the ultimate question, and after I asked them the question,
it was it was a little hard for him to
accept because no one taught him that. And one of
the things that we have to understand is that when
we ask for forgiveness from Christ. That's half the formula,

(37:23):
because the next thing is have to forgive yourself so
you can be able to grow, so you can be
able to progress, so you can be able to get
to the next level, you know. And that's the thing.
Once we forgive ourselves, now we are creating that relationship
with Christ because now He gets to reveal to us

(37:46):
through his word the areas we need to work on
to fulfill his purpose, fulfill his message, to fulfill his plan.
Notice notice I use the word his because at the
end of John when he was talking to Peter, what
did he say, feed my land, take care of my sheep,

(38:10):
feed my sheep. It's not us, it's his. So once
we forgive ourselves, that opens the door for the healing.
That point you grow, I'm mature, you understand what your
role is. That's where you begin see things clearer. So

(38:31):
if anyone in our audience who is struggling and who
have asked for forgiveness, Jesus gave it to you. Now
take it. Take the next step. Forgive yourself so you
can begin healing.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
I was watching the movie Next to Ken with Patrick Swayzee.
I don't know if y'all remember that movie. But he
goes to New York or somebody leaves the country home
and he goes Chicago, one of those states, and he
becomes a he's off a police officer and his brother
gets killed. And the brother always told the little motel tenant,

(39:07):
if anything happens to me, call this number.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
So powerful. Yes, I was just watching that.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
I called it that right at the after the phone
call was made, and the brothers all you see the
women just packing up sandwiches and picnic baskets. One of
the brothers had a school bus full of snakes, and
he kept saying, if you want to ride with me,
and they're like, no, not this time.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Powerful movie. And I sat here and I said, where's
my try? Where's my squad?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
They they came in bow and arrow whatever their their
their weapon of choice acts and powerful movie and they
had little codes. They were doing little whistles and stuff
like that, and they were in a cemetery for the shootout.
And I'm sitting there like, but where's my squad? Who
is just a phone call away? I know one of y'all,
know both of y'all.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
I know two. I know about three or more. But
who's a phone call away? Who's number can I give
to say if anything should happen? And see the movie.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
I meant listening here too. I meant listening here to
the show. Oh okay, okay, mixed it.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, you have to, you have to watch it. It's
it's good. It's good talking to my family coming together.
Who's the squad, Who's who's gonna pray for me? Who's
got me? We love you, We love you.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Let me thank you for your sacrifice of fifty minutes
on a Monday night. We can't thank you enough. We
just pray that something will take effect and take a.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Hold, not just throwing it at the wall and its stick. No,
something will begin to ignite in you like fire shut
up in your bone.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
You can't rest until you say a prayer, or you
look in scripture, or you sing a song, a new song.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
That's our prayer. I ask God for the fire, the ignite,
the fire to burn, to move you to where you
can't sleep until you say a prayer. You can't.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
You're not gonna read another book unless it's the Bible.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You're not gonna study it.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Lets you in school, but you go study your work
if you need us, you can call any of us.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
If you need us, you can give us a call. Amen,
thank you, eld K you guys. You I'm I'm. I've
got an interview right after this, so y'all take it. Please,
has to take this out. I just want to say. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
All I can say is, more you know, more you function,
the less you know, the less you function, the more
you understand. How much God loves you, how much he
cares about you, that he gave his only begotten son
because he wants you to be with him forever. What
more can we ask for? And to say, here's my son,

(41:50):
believe in him, and you have eternal life and that
that that's saying, that's saying, that's saying it all there.
We are to love you just as God has loved does.
That's what we want to continue doing. Loving you for
who you are, not what we want you to be.
For who you are. That's what's the key essential to understand.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
And we'll see you next week, same time, same station.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Y'all be blessed. Night night
