Speaker 4 (02:24):
I sure wouldn't. Thank you, Heavenly Father.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Amen, aymen and amen and amen.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. Always always know you
got to be ready in and out of season, always
remember that. But we're just giving God praise tonight. He
has just he every minute of the day, he just
blows me away with his goodness and his mercy. And
when we finally awaken to him and awaken and really
(03:33):
we say scriptures, we read the scriptures out loud, we
praise scriptures. But when you finally get a scripture, when
you finally get a meaning of a scripture, and what
he was trying to convey to us, and how this
book that was written will over twenty twenty three hundred
(03:55):
twenty four, however long over two thousand years ago, he'll
pertain to us today. It just I could I tear up.
I just look at him sometime and say, you know,
I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. I don't
deserve your goodness, your mercy. And he spoke to me
this morning and he just reminded me who I am
(04:16):
and him he reminded me of how and what he
sees in me. And for him to wait on me
and and to get to this point and to really
trust him, really trust him. And that's a lot. I know,
we say it all the time. I trust the Lord.
Oh I believe in God. Oh, but your behavior tells
(04:36):
us something different. Your non verbal cue tell us something different.
And what always surprises me is mankind thinks that they're
fooling us. And that's the priority that's important. We're nothing,
we're nothing. We don't own nothing. We don't own heaven
and we don't own hell. We could tell you how
(04:57):
to get to either one. We can lead you to
either one.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But what.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't fear God, I'm looking at people like serious.
You don't fear the Creator, forget about you believe it
in him. He's real. We can look at the birds
in the air. I've watched the birds in the air
and the different there were two sets of different types
of birds and they were going in opposite direction. They
didn't stop in midair, you know, and they're flapping in Well,
(05:24):
how are you doing where you're going? Well, you don't
got to head you know, we got to head down.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
They were all each other. They don't have a conversation.
They'll be about their business. And it amazes me. But anyway, again,
I saw as we were in the show last week,
folks were saying happy birthday to me, thank you so much.
I saw them I go into the little comment section
as we're ending, after we end, and I see the
(05:50):
lasting comments and stuff like that. So thank you all
so much. My children surprised me and took me to
an event a place that I had been taughtalking about
forever and my daughter remembered it and I we went
to It's called the wonder Works and it's the upside
down house on Eye Drive and I always wanted to
(06:11):
go in, and I had no idea what to expect.
I really thought there would be things upside down in there.
I really did. I thought maybe a counter be hanging
from the ceiling or something. It was odd stuff in there. Unfortunately,
I got became uncomfortable because it's not eighty a pleasurable
for me. The stairs are very high in height. We
(06:35):
couldn't I could not find the elevator at first. We
found it coming out, but it was a little disappointing.
I enjoyed that place. Hey, mickey, excuse me, guys, I
have to sneeze two excuse me, that's you. Thank you.
I sneeze in.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Three timer.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That was I'm a three timer. I'm a three It's
gonna come, it comes, you know, and you know at
least it's off the bucket list. Now I don't have
to ever say I want to go there again. I'm good.
But what really was the biggie? As you know, my
dog is in a training program and a very elite
(07:15):
and intensive training program, and the places they have us
to go to help train her to be both a
service dog and a therapy dog. It's just phenomenal. Never
heard of this place. Been living in Orlando for twenty
December twenty four years. The twins will be twenty three
in a few weeks. And it's called the Showcase of Citrus.
(07:36):
And we get to ride on a renovated bus. They
have monster wheels, monster tires on it, and you can
you walk up this ramp to get into this bus
and I'm like, oh my God, Jesus, and my dog,
you know, she was fine. Now they have livestock there,
the biggest pig I've seen in a long time, with
(08:00):
Hulla piglets who were young, but they were huge. If
you come to Orlando, if you come to Central Florida,
you need to go to the Showcase of Citrus. It's
five hundred acres five hundred acres and we went on
this muddy bush you know, muddy road tour of the
place they have live like I said, livestock, a zebra,
(08:24):
a camel, ostrich bison. And the tour guide was just awesome, awesome,
and he kept hearing. He and I had our own
little conversation going, and I said, I cannot believe this
really took away the driving me to go to Animal Kingdom.
I want to go to Animal Kingdom when it gets
a little cooler. I really like the place and stuff.
(08:47):
Not that I like animals, but I like the Animal Kingdom.
I loved it. And we went on safari and stuff.
This took the place of it. Believe it or not,
but twenty five dollars going on the monster truck. And
there orange groves and tangelos and lemons, and I want
to say quats. I'm not sure if they do that,
(09:08):
but you pick your own citrus. So in November, if y'all,
you know, if y'all don't have nothing mess better to do,
come November of this year, we can go into the
groves and you can pick your your your your citrus.
And then he showed us the trucks, the flatbed trucks
that come in there to pick the citrus. That goes
(09:32):
into our goes to our local stores and juice refiner replaces,
so they have I stay struck a gold mine. When
you could take a piece of land and farm it out,
develop it out, restore it, whatever you have to do.
It's just amazing. It's just gorgeous. And most and the
(09:56):
staff that we encountered, all of them are happy. It
was a put on heavy. You could tell people who
put on oh hey, welcome to the you know, you
could tell when they don't really, you know. But they
were so natural. They enjoyed themselves. And I believe in
the food truck and the little bar, not bar, but
the little convenience store, you know, country store on the property.
(10:20):
They had all kinds of stuff, apple, butter, jam, all
the jams that you can imagine, uh uh, fresh peanuts,
salted pea DUTs. Just it was. It had so much
in there. And I did a little shopping. So the
other other uh uh owners they would do they're like,
oh what did you buy? I said, Oh, I got
this this peanut concoction. Here, it looks good. Here, it
(10:42):
looks healthy and stuff. And of course I got natural honey,
organic honey, got two big jars of that and it
didn't cost that much. And I believe who I met
was the owners, the husband and wife owners. I wasn't
sure that. I didn't want to stare at I didn't
want to, you know, but we were just talking and
I told them about this, and I said, I'm gonna
give you guys a shout out tonight. And so the
(11:04):
cashier I believe was the wife. I could be wrong,
she wrote down the information. But you know, showcase of
Citrus is is whether you're single, whether you're married, whether
you have family or children, it doesn't matter. You will
enjoy it just to go on that ride. You will
enjoy that to see and again I saw plywood. I
(11:24):
did ask the question at the end. I said, I
see a lot of plywood. You know, are y'all like spanning?
And the tour guy did confirm that they're building like
treehouses and stuff where the bus could pull over and
you can walk up the ramp onto the treehouse and
really view the whole property. So kudos to them. I
told my baby boy about it when we came home.
(11:45):
He said, Mom, would you be willing to go back?
I said, I would love to go back, So he said, okay, Okay,
I said, yeah, you got to go because you dream.
It caused me to dream and to believe again that
there's a visionary out there that you hand take the
plan of God. Now I don't know if these if
the folks believe in God or not, but the way
this place is set up, it's just remarkable. And it
(12:08):
can beats all ages, and even the animals. And they
got named. They named all the animals. All the animals
have names, even the babies. Okay, and the tour guy
he was he was great, you know, he was funny
and stuff and it was natural and it was just nice.
So that really, like I said, you know, perfection the
(12:28):
training school for animals, for dogs. They're off the chain
and they're visionaries. And I may may have Darroll and
his wife and or his wife Penny on to talk
about where how that this idea came about. You'd be surprised.
So don't don't give up on dreams. Don't give up
(12:50):
on some visions that you have. Maybe you weren't ready
to do that, maybe society wasn't ready. Right now, society
is wide open. You could go do anything you want
to do. You could be a vending machine opera owner operator.
You could be uh a truck driver owner operator. You
can go and do digital divides, digital you know, storytelling what.
(13:13):
There's nothing right now in the world that is legal
that you cannot do nothing, So you if you're sitting
there and still in wonderment, you I'd have to check you.
I'd have to. I think Ripley's might have been more
of my fancy Okay, Misty, I drive in West earl
Le Bronson has lots of places to see as well. Yeah,
(13:34):
the oh what's the uh nice to visit Atlanta, but
it's pricey where it depends now, Charles, you gotta you
know all those sound fun to do. Charles, you gotta
you know, join some of the web pages of some
of the sites here because you'd be surprised and offer.
There will be a time that you could come, you know,
because your friends of the other of the organization, you
(13:57):
can come at a discounted price and stuff. This this
house I group on, that's amazing. I mean you could
go in there. My daughter found boxing classes, kickboxing classes,
and you know, her friends from school. Part of their
gifting to her has been group on stuff. You know,
fun stuff. So you just got to go that extra,
you know, that little extra step to I At all
(14:19):
of my restaurants that I've joined the you know, I'm
on their emails, so they got my birthday. So I've
got twenty emails this past week. Free dessert, you know,
come in, have a free meal. I have a free

have all this stuff. And I mean I just joined
their email, the E list, and that's how I get
that information. So, you know, Hotels dot Com for y'all
(14:42):
like to travel. I know some people like Booking dot Com,
but I'm a Hotels dot Com gal. And you when
you travel, you get points and then you can I
mean I've had several times, well I've had free nights
at a hotel, at a five star hotel because I
used my points and I had the points for it.
So you know, it's just little things that can help out.
Even at the movies, Join Regal, join AMC okay and
(15:06):
you'll get you know, free butter Propco has been so
long since we've been down to Florida. Okay, messy, Okay.

see what you want to do, because now hotels dot
Com has added not only hotels but airbnbs on it,
so you know, you could get some nice things and
(15:27):
you'll be surprised. I think you'd be surprised. But yeah,
I want you all to But if you come to Orlando,
you will be doing yourself a disservice. If you don't
check out the showcase of Citrus, you'll be you. You
will miss it. And it is nice. And again, it
was twenty five dollars to get on the truck thing,
so I'm put a per person today.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Four point five stars on four thousand, four hundred and
thirty two reviews. So yeah, so definitely, definitely a good
call on your partners.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Okay, hey, it's it's real, and you know you want happiness.
I felt free once I calmed down to be on
the truck. You know, it's it's kind of rocky and stuff,
you know, but it was worth it. It was worth it.
And like I said, I already told them I will
be back in November to pick fruit, and like I said,
my baby boy wants to go as well. So it's
I you know, I want everybody to go and enjoy that.
(16:22):
But it's National Coloring Book Month as well as National
collect National Crayon collection Month. Okay, and you're going to
be left with some homework.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yes, my daughter is linked to some of those discounts.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, Tennessee is.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
In the house.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Who I think I may want to try it? Misty
is worth it? You will not? I don't. It can't
be a bad situation. And then of course bring some
good money so you could get take some treats with
you home and everything. They and they had wine, and
they're right, they had some liquor and stuff. So I
told one of their owners, I said, you get away
from the bottles. Get away from the bottles. You're driving
you got precious cargo, get away from that. She goes, yeah,
(17:03):
but it says peach something. I said, it don't just
walk away. You're seeing things. So we all laughed about that.
And then they had pupp cups. They had little ice
cream for the dogs. And this is the second year
that paw Faction has come along to do the training,
so they've got they instituted puppy cups. That general store
house fun. Yeah, it was, it's really nice. And my
(17:25):
daughter got this ice cream. Let me see if I
can show y'all. You could just look at her. You
see the beverage there, the three cups, their glasses. There
you can put ice cream. There's old fashioned vanilla ice cream.
That old fashioned vanilla ice cream we grew up with.
That's on top of like the orange juice of it.
(17:45):
And you know it's you know it's it was just awesome.
And let me see, I could give you an idea.
What the second picture, you'll see the bus. Second picture,
Oh there it is. See the bus. That's the bus
we got on that they thirty people, It fits thirty people.
I missed the last comment. Yeah, sound was delicious. Yeah, y'all.
(18:07):
Stay away from the liquor, though, Stay away from the
liquor because you're driving now right now. Don't get don't
get too excited over there. Don't let me have to
don't let them have to call me and say, Mss Gray,
we've got so and so what. I didn't even know
they were in town. But anyway, So now the homework
is gonna be. I need everybody going to the dollar
store and over the next two days, I'm gonna give
(18:29):
you to a Wednesday and I need you to pick
up a coloring book. Nothing fancy two for a dollar
at the Dollar General Dollar Tree. Go get you a
box of crayons. While you're there. I want you to
start coloring, and I want you to color inside the line.
Never thought we would live to see the day when
it was okay to color outside the line. And that's
what they call mindfulness. That creative art that's out there now,
(18:53):
that's been out there for over seven oh wow, over
five years at least or longer. And it's all, you know,
creative art, and it's the what we have. We how
do we address it? It's the non verbal third wave
of therapy. It's the third wave of therapy. So what
I did was, as I was learning about this, and
(19:14):
I've already shared this on the show. In my office,
I've got a table with coloring books and construction paper
and crayons and water paint and markers and part of
the therapy a coloring book and colors and crayons. Crayons, Charles,
what do you mean colors? What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
No book? So the markers or something.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I want you to get crayons. I want you to
get crayons because I don't want nothing seeping through the pages.
I want you to you know, get you a nice
themed coloring book. Okay, And I just want you to
to start coloring. Just take a page. Just do finish
a page. If you start a page, you have to
finish that page that day. Don't come back to it.
I want you to take that five to ten minutes.
(19:57):
It may take you fifteen minutes. No color by number either.
I don't want you to have to think about anything.
I want The only thing I want you to think
about the only thing the Lord wants you to think
about is what color you're gonna use to pay the penguin,
what color you're gonna use to pay the tin man?
And if it's a Wizard of Oz book, what colors
you know? That's all. And I want you to just
(20:18):
color date it go. So you go through this through
the whole month. That's your birthday to give to me.
That'd be your birthday gift to me. Can they do it? Huh?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
They do it with sounds?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Do what with sounds? Ain't no color sounds?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No, no, no.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
So when I get into my my mode or my mood,
what I passe I like to have, Like I go
to YouTube and they have water sounds or you.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Know it's trickly, it's just relaxing. That's why I say,
can they do it with sounds or without sounds?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Or let's let's try without sound it's wrong, Okay, let's try.
Let's see if this could calm you down, help you
clear your mind, help you to be able to concentrate.
I've got to stay in this line. I got to
stay in this line. But just right now, oh, I
can shade it this way. I want you to be
creative with the coloring. Don't just because it's a cat
(21:17):
has got to be black and white. Don't you know,
step outside of your comfort zone. Pink the cat think
and its tail, its little toenails something. If that's what
you want to do. You know what I'm saying. I
think he wants sus just to be free and elder
kill No will verify this. A few years back, the
Lord had me to seed into the church in Tennessee
(21:40):
some money to go get some boxes of puzzles, and
their homework was to finish a puzzle. It was to
finish a puzzle and then you were to report back
how you felt because did it improve your eyesight? Didn't
improve your clarity? Did it make things clearer for you.
I do a puzzle on my eye pad and on
(22:00):
my phone. It clears me. It helps me with my eyesight.
It helps me to spot things and stuff like that.
So we got to go back to some natural stuff,
some natural and don't get fancy crayons that gotta smell
to it and all that kind of stuff. Get your
regular eight pack, twelve pack, sixty four pack, however you
want to do that now. But I need you to
get a nice size coloring book that would last for
(22:23):
this month. We got thirty we're at day four now,
so minus thirty one, we're at what twenty seven days
I've left in the month, huh, twenty seven? So I
want you to get a coloring book. And yes, this
is gonna be outside your comfort zone because you're gonna
say to yourself, your mind is going to tell you, you know,
you really don't have time for that now, you know that, right,
(22:43):
Your mind is gonna be talking to you like, oh God,
now I gotta go to the store, and yes, go
get a dollar and fifty cent coloring book, because say
two four dollars at the gym, at the door at
the store. If you can't afford that, you called me.
All right, you called me. I could see your five dollars,
including go get you a coloring book and some crayons.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go tomorrow myself. I'm gonna
(23:05):
do this because he wants us to relax. He wants you.
When he says take your mind off of that, he
means take your mind off of it. He's like, I
got this unload on me. I was telling God the
other day, I don't I know, I do have certain
people I can call and talk to, but there are
times that you just don't want to pick up the phone.
You don't want a dollar number, you don't want to
(23:27):
this Lord, please. And I had to ask God to
forgive me through the weekend because I don't want it
to appear as if I don't trust you, I don't
want you. I don't want it to appear as if
I'm doubting you. I don't want it to appear as
if I'm trying to tell you how to bless me.
I shared this with a lady at the restaurant when
(23:47):
I went and had myself bought myself some lunch, and
I was hoping that she would be there because I
wanted to plan a seed. I wanted to give a
seed because the Devil's made me very mad. I was
angry these past few weeks. You couldn't tell because I
got some miscellaneous want to be out there dumping cat
food in my yard and I had to go. I
had to go have a fence put up. I had
(24:09):
to go and get signage to tell you, to tell
you to keep stay off my property. That makes no sense,
but what God had me to do in the white
little section on that no trespassing sign I put scripture
warfare scripture. Not google that. If you can't read no trespassing,
google those scriptures. Yes, the puzzles were fun. And then
(24:30):
like say I'm going to get a coloring book. Okay,
that's okay, amen. And yeah, but getting back to that,
and so I needed to plan a seed. When the
devil messages with me, he's I take I go after
what he thinks I'm not going to use, and that's
my money, physical money, and I will go plan a seed.
So I want to plan a seed. And it's ironic
(24:53):
that this woman sister has two major thousands of dollars
worth of testing coming up. Issue was telling me that
as we were talking about the Lord, and she sent money.
She sent what she could to her sister. She goes,
our brother is eight of us. It's this waitress is
the oldest of eight siblings. And she can only say,
(25:13):
one of my brothers is gonna help my sister. She
don't have it. Her health is always. And I'm sitting
there looking at God. Now. I already pulled the seed
out and put it, but she couldn't see it because
she was kind of talking to her away from her.
And all I could do is you just something else, sir,
you are something else. So and I told her, I
got a seed for you, and I'm gonna ball it up.
(25:34):
I'm gonna fold it up because I don't want you
to look at it, and I don't want you to
pull it out of your pocket until you see me
drive away, and you know it's God. So I can
only imagine, and I pray that she didn't fame. But
that's Nina. I get in the car and I said, okay, Satan,
what's next? What's next? You can't get me in my family,
you can't get me in my money, you can't get
me at my peace. Now you took my peace. You
(25:58):
troubled me over these last few week with this cat
food mess. What's next? What's next? Let's go, Let's go.
And that's one thing you have to know within yourself
on this faith walk, on your faith walk. What is
it that you feel that the devil knows you won't do?
If he messes with us, he messes with you, he
takes you. He steals your joy, he steals your peace,
(26:21):
he steals your creativity. What about you? Does he know
that you won't do? That's what you do? I know
as a stretch, but I had to forgive somebody who
owes me a lot of money. I've been forgave, she's
lost a lot since then. But guess what I had
to say today? I forgive and called out her name
(26:42):
out loud for how she's treated me, the disrespect everything.
I forgive whoever this nutt is that's putting cat food
in my yard. Now he's putting she is putting it
in the neighbor's yard. We moved it this morning. She
ain't putting it in my yard anymore because I also
put on there. I got the sticker we're license to
(27:02):
we're licensed to carry a cacealed weapon and one of
us is and I don't ask questions. We're not gonna
ask questions. You step foot. We didn't invite you, we
didn't send for you. He made me pull out all
this money to secure what God has given me. Read
the scripture, got four sets out there, read them, read them.
So getting back to releasing your mind, getting things off
(27:28):
of your mind. I was talking to someone today and
she just could not get passed. I don't understand. I
don't know the why. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
be quiet because to me, you don't want to know.
You don't want to break through. And if got be
looking at me, I have nothing for you. My giving
season like that is over. I'm collecting the loans that
(27:51):
are due. Do you find that tempting the evil will
bring more or draw their attention to your plan? Of course,
that's his job to still kill and destroy, kill your dreams,
steal your energy, take your health, destroy your you, having
you to destroy yourself verbally by what you say to
yourself every day. That's a job. And I'm not tempting him,
(28:12):
I'm challenging him. You're not afraid the devil, He's afraid
of God. He'll never admit it, but he is afraid
because he knows that God is designated some of his people,
some of these humans that are on earth, God designated them.
He waited on us to get back to him, and
the Devil's like, I know, I can't now, I can't
(28:35):
do nothing because I don't know what Miguel's What's gonna
come out of Miguel's mouth while he's interviewing his clients
for insurance. I don't know what's gonna come out of
Gena's mouth, his wife while she's doing case management and
triageing clients. It's gonna change somebody. One of those clients.
We are assigned to come on one of those customers. We
(28:56):
are assigned not a I'm not only ass I g
a sign, but a sign as ign two. And we connect.
We connect. It may be brief, we connect. We connect.
Y'all say something, say something, say something. We still do
a coloring books and crowns.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Well, I do I do want to say one thing
in regards to what you were talking about, not worry
and you you actually spoke about Matthew. Chapter six, Verses
twenty five through twenty four. I'm sorry, twenty five through
thirty four, where Jesus was talking about do not worry.
(29:39):
And one of the key things that Jesus talked about
is that the grass doesn't worry about what or the
flowers doesn't worry about what clothes it's going to put
put on because of their natural beauty. And and that's
so important for us to understand that we worry about
(30:00):
certain things when we really shouldn't be worrying about it.
And you touched on something that I heard. This has
been a prophetic show so far, so thank you for
setting it up that way because you touched on the
fact of coloring within the lines. And I'm writing a
(30:23):
paper for my class about revolutionary ethics as well as
biblical ethics, and how I opened up the paper was
simply stating that life, when we're trying to walk through life,
life is not establishing what's right and what's wrong. Like
a baseball field, you know, inside the foul lines, that's
(30:46):
the playing field. You know, those are the boundaries. Like
a football field, you know that there's a sidelines and
end zones, and that's the boundaries to play. And we
have to understand that we have to play within those
boundaries well to the point that you brought up, miss
Gray about the devil knows where to attack the first Timothy,
(31:07):
First Timothy, I'm sorry, two Timothy one seven makes it
very clear that God did not give us a spirit
of fear. Now to add on to that, to give
you something that was said that I wrote it down
that being afraid of doing what you have been called
(31:27):
to do is pride. Now, I'm going to go a
little deep here. When we're afraid to do what God
calls us to do, and the enemy is going to
jump on that to make you feel afraid, because what
you're doing is you're establishing excuses of not doing what
(31:49):
God's called you to do because you're afraid that you're
going to be embarrassed that people are going to be
looking at you, for example buying a coloring book. Now, hey,
so what you're doing is.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
A strengthening defenses.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We'll get there, Mickey, go ahead, past.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
So, so basically, what you're doing is you're allowing your pride,
which is the son of the devil. And then when
you're allowing the pride to get in the way of
doing God's work, now you've made excuses to be disobedient.
So here is where we have to understand that who
(32:29):
is in control is the creator. And despite what we
may say about the enemy, the enemy still as disobedient
as he is, he will recognize who God is because
God is the most high, Satan is below. So he
has to understand reverence and sovereignty. And this is why
(32:52):
it's so key to be an example who we trust,
who we believe in, and that's our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Mean, Mickey, I want to go back to Okay, Janey,
I don't know. Okay, when we worry, we completely forget.
I'm sorry. Yeah, when we worry, we could forget who
holds the key to all of our tomorrows, and that's God.
We are cast to cast all of our cares upon him.
Our faith you speak louder than our troubles. Amen, Thank you, Janey,
Thank you, Micky. Going back to that, that was a
(33:22):
great example of that. Definitely, how can you strengthen your
defense study the word because you still don't know the
power and authority we walk in. You still don't know that.
How I can go and confront somebody and call them
a witch to their face. You still got to understand that.
So by studying your Bible, putting on a new song,
singing into his course with thanksgiving and praise, waking up
(33:45):
to praising God. It's the steps we've talked about, the
steps studying to show yourself approof meditate on his word
day and night, fast and pray, watch and pray. You know,
give up your first fruit, your tithe you're offering. You'll
see it off into His course of thanksgiving and praise.
But you got to continue to do it. It's not
just a one time thing. You have to strengthen. You
(34:08):
have to strengthen. The only thing that calmed me down
from dealing with this neighbor who's putting cat food in
my yard is the God said, can you please put
my word? Put my word on the no trespassing side,
Put my word up there, you read it out loud,
and you put you have them write it down and God.
And then I heard a pastor say on one of
(34:28):
the Facebook reels, if you don't get yourself out of
God's way and let him do it?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yes, come on me.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
How often have I said that? Is there a reason
the person that's putting out the cat food Anastasia, I
don't care. I'm not a safe haven for stray animals.
And rodents. If you want to do that, there's nothing
wrong with that. I know some people feel that they
got to save everybody and the cats included and the
rats and everything. Put it in your yard. Should not
(34:58):
have to put signs. Are they missing the cat? No.
She told me a history about a man behind on
the next street had twenty three cats, and she said, oh,
I went to pray for him. He still killed himself.
I told her, don't tell anybody that leave that part
of the story out. That's not good. That's not you
don't And the cats are dad. This is twenty some
(35:20):
year over, twenty seven years ago, somebody had twenty three
cats in their house and cat. I saw one pharaoh
cat and he was unfortunately he gave he spent his
ninth life in the street. But I should not have
to do that. I don't care what you do, but
I care about mine. Now. I had to go fumigate
my yard. Then I had to go keep my hand
(35:40):
in man to put up on what it fits to
show this is my property. Then I had to go
and get signage and I get it. I know, I
know people all we wanted to seek. Well, put it
at your house, they'll come the food is out there,
they'll come, they'll find it. But you didn't have to
put it on mine. Not when I've asked you nicely.
Nothing I gave you. Well. And before they built your house,
(36:02):
you know, it was an empty land and I had
to catch myself out. I say, well, but there's a
house there, this family living there now my family. But
I want to say. The main thing is after I
had to hear a total stranger say, if you don't
get yourself out of God's way, I had to repent.
(36:24):
That's another thing. People ain't repenting. When you're not doing right.
You got to go to your knees. You got to
put your hands up, close your eyes and say, please
forgive me, Please forgive me. I'm so sorry that I'm
in your way. I'm so sorry. I'm leading to my
own understanding on it. I was about to camp out
in the cut, in the dark. We'll catch you. We've
(36:46):
about to camp out. I was gonna get one of
my swords in my hand. Don't tell you what. I
don't know what I've done. When done, but I would
have been armed. And guy said, what you're doing? What
you're doing? So you don't trust me? You don't think
I can handle this. You really think I need your help.
I'm like, oh God, there I go. I go twenty
(37:06):
paces forward and sixteen back, so I have to see
because I tell the devil, you don't. You haven't. You
haven't cut me off yet. And you had your chance, Satan,
seven years ago. You want to kill me. You had
your chance. I was the most vulnerable. I think I
have a few I know I had a few people
praying for me. I couldn't even respond, even when I
(37:27):
came out of the coma. I couldn't even speak. I
couldn't even fight. I was too weak. You had your chance.
And I've already told you. For God I live and
for God I die. That's these two, these two right here.
If I pass away, what would be their memory of me?
For God I live and for God I die. This
is not easy. He never said it wouldn't be. But
(37:48):
he takes the load off my favorite scripture. I remove
the burden from your shoulders and free your hands from
the pots burden over there. I'm over here because I'm
leaning on Jesus right now. I'm in his bosom. I'm
under his his arm, his glory. I'm under him yuays,
you just got to let go and let him do
what he does best. He set practics free, He set
(38:12):
us free, He set us free, He set us free.
Y'all talk. I'm gonna show you my balloons.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Ah those a nice It was a nice balloon, nice colors.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Oh my god, my heart. Publics public haves come through
the party city that had closed down.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Hurt my heart.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I'm like, where are we going? Where we're gonna inflate
the balloons?
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Sounds like a business to me?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Did your helium take there?
Speaker 4 (38:36):
You go? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (38:38):
You know, everything everything that, everything was said, The night
was great. I don't really have a whole lot to
add to it because this was It's just more affirmation.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
You know. When I woke up this morning, I was like,
what is this heaviness?
Speaker 5 (38:52):
You know, I didn't know what it was, and so
uh going into work and required I said, let me
I go get myself some breakfast, you know, because I said, well,
trying to, I said, let me get some breakfast. And
I actually sat in the car and ate before I
went into the building, because I knew once I got it,
I wasn't going to enjoy my breakfast.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I don't know what it just meant so much to
me to have breakfast.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Before I went in, and I was ready to face
the day once I got in there.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
So, you know, God knows what we need.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
He you know, sometimes you think you're gonna go one
way and He says, no, go go go that way,
and so you just have to be obedient and ready
to pivot when he says go.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
And so as the day went, you know, it got better.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
I felt more accomplished, and you know, being even being
able to do the show. You know, it's beautiful outside.
I know, you see you in the car sitting in
the park. Just yeah, it's just it's nice. It's just
it lets me really really know I know anyway, but
just really affirms that God is there.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
He is present.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
You know, the beautiful sky, whether it was clouds or
on the trees.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You know, the birds, the you know, it's just nature.
It's good to be able to do that. Some natural sunlight,
vitamin indeed to clear your mind.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
You know, coloring.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
I love coloring amongst a lot of stuff, so you know, please,
audience members said, do you find the car to be relaxing?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
You know what I actually do.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
It's odd because I'm gonna tell you to say something.
So I'm watching make sure this person does not hit
my car backing up, I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
So I'm looking. So No, but the car.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
When I was a caregiver, and I would get on
work and before when I got home, and before I
would go in and work with my dad, sometimes I
would just sit in the car because I had to
remove my previous day. I did not want to take
that in there to the house with him, and I.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
Would get in the car. The car is really relaxing,
you know.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
Sometimes I've taken naps in the car in between clients,
sat at the park and stuff.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
So yeah, the car actually is not just me, as
a few of my friends.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Who are caregivers or work caregivers, they found sitting in
the car before they went to there to care for
their loved one was relaxing. Sometimes it's the only, you know,
time that you have just to kind of and then
go in. But that's pretty much what I have to
add today.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
If I may add about the car. Zig Ziggler, I
don't know if too many people know who zig Ziggler is.
He taught that you can turn you can convert your
car into a mobile university and how you can be
(41:42):
able to switch from listening to the music you're listening
to or whatever you listen to. You can convert it
into a university where you can actually listen to podcasts
or teachings of the Bible. And this way, what it's
doing is it's strengthening you so you can function more
(42:06):
for the Kingdom of God. And this is why it
allows you to grow, not only mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
It wentn't kind of quick. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
You have me under the cars, counting the car from
the negative energy we dump and release into it. Uh no,
it's it's gonna ground you because you if you've got
all this negative stuff that's putting that heavy weight w
E I G H T on you, that's burdeninging, burdening
(42:40):
you down, and you got to release that because most
of the time there's nothing you can do about it.
You can work as many jobs, you can go and buy,
you can max out your credit cards. You still got
the same bill and now you're more in debt and
you can turn. Yeah, you could turn to your vices.
You're smoking, of vapor, your drinking, But after you get
(43:02):
that on, after you done purchased all that stuff. You're
less than twenty five dollars and you still got the
water bill, you got the pay We will pick this
up next week. We're gonna say night night. We'll see
you next week. Get that coloring book. I want everybody
coming home tell us you got the coloring book, and

Speaker 4 (02:24):

Heavenly Father, thank you, and we say this prayer.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Amen, aymen and amen and amen.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. Always always know you
got to be ready in and out of season, always
remember that. But we're just giving God praise tonight. He
has just he every minute of the day, he just
blows me away with his goodness and his mercy. And
when we finally awaken to him and awaken and really
(03:33):
we say scriptures, we read the scriptures out loud, we
praise scriptures. But when you finally get a scripture, when
you finally get a meaning of a scripture, and what
he was trying to convey to us, and how this
book that was written will over twenty twenty three hundred
(03:55):
twenty four, however long over two thousand years ago, he'll
pertain to us today. It just I could I tear up.
I just look at him sometime and say, you know,
I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. I don't
deserve your goodness, your mercy. And he spoke to me
this morning and he just reminded me who I am
(04:16):
and him he reminded me of how and what he
sees in me. And for him to wait on me
and and to get to this point and to really
trust him, really trust him. And that's a lot. I know,
we say it all the time. I trust the Lord.
Oh I believe in God. Oh, but your behavior tells
(04:36):
us something different. Your non verbal cue tell us something different.
And what always surprises me is mankind thinks that they're
fooling us. And that's the priority that's important. We're nothing,
we're nothing. We don't own nothing. We don't own heaven
and we don't own hell. We could tell you how
(04:57):
to get to either one. We can lead you to
either one.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But what.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't fear God, I'm looking at people like serious.
You don't fear the Creator, forget about you believe it
in him. He's real. We can look at the birds
in the air. I've watched the birds in the air
and the different there were two sets of different types
of birds and they were going in opposite direction. They
didn't stop in midair, you know, and they're flapping in Well,
(05:24):
how are you doing where you're going? Well, you don't
got to head you know, we got to head down.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
They were all each other. They don't have a conversation.
They'll be about their business. And it amazes me. But anyway, again,
I saw as we were in the show last week,
folks were saying happy birthday to me, thank you so much.
I saw them I go into the little comment section
as we're ending, after we end, and I see the
(05:50):
lasting comments and stuff like that. So thank you all
so much. My children surprised me and took me to
an event a place that I had been taughtalking about
forever and my daughter remembered it and I we went
to It's called the wonder Works and it's the upside
down house on Eye Drive and I always wanted to
(06:11):
go in, and I had no idea what to expect.
I really thought there would be things upside down in there.
I really did. I thought maybe a counter be hanging
from the ceiling or something. It was odd stuff in there. Unfortunately,
I got became uncomfortable because it's not eighty a pleasurable
for me. The stairs are very high in height. We
(06:35):
couldn't I could not find the elevator at first. We
found it coming out, but it was a little disappointing.
I enjoyed that place. Hey, mickey, excuse me, guys, I
have to sneeze two excuse me, that's you. Thank you.
I sneeze in.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Three timer.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That was I'm a three timer. I'm a three It's
gonna come, it comes, you know, and you know at
least it's off the bucket list. Now I don't have
to ever say I want to go there again. I'm good.
But what really was the biggie? As you know, my
dog is in a training program and a very elite
(07:15):
and intensive training program, and the places they have us
to go to help train her to be both a
service dog and a therapy dog. It's just phenomenal. Never
heard of this place. Been living in Orlando for twenty
December twenty four years. The twins will be twenty three
in a few weeks. And it's called the Showcase of Citrus.
(07:36):
And we get to ride on a renovated bus. They
have monster wheels, monster tires on it, and you can
you walk up this ramp to get into this bus
and I'm like, oh my God, Jesus, and my dog,
you know, she was fine. Now they have livestock there,
the biggest pig I've seen in a long time, with
(08:00):
Hulla piglets who were young, but they were huge. If
you come to Orlando, if you come to Central Florida,
you need to go to the Showcase of Citrus. It's
five hundred acres five hundred acres and we went on
this muddy bush you know, muddy road tour of the
place they have live like I said, livestock, a zebra,
(08:24):
a camel, ostrich bison. And the tour guide was just awesome, awesome,
and he kept hearing. He and I had our own
little conversation going, and I said, I cannot believe this
really took away the driving me to go to Animal Kingdom.
I want to go to Animal Kingdom when it gets
a little cooler. I really like the place and stuff.
(08:47):
Not that I like animals, but I like the Animal Kingdom.
I loved it. And we went on safari and stuff.
This took the place of it. Believe it or not,
but twenty five dollars going on the monster truck. And
there orange groves and tangelos and lemons, and I want
to say quats. I'm not sure if they do that,
(09:08):
but you pick your own citrus. So in November, if y'all,
you know, if y'all don't have nothing mess better to do,
come November of this year, we can go into the
groves and you can pick your your your your citrus.
And then he showed us the trucks, the flatbed trucks
that come in there to pick the citrus. That goes
(09:32):
into our goes to our local stores and juice refiner replaces,
so they have I stay struck a gold mine. When
you could take a piece of land and farm it out,
develop it out, restore it, whatever you have to do.
It's just amazing. It's just gorgeous. And most and the
(09:56):
staff that we encountered, all of them are happy. It
was a put on heavy. You could tell people who
put on oh hey, welcome to the you know, you
could tell when they don't really, you know. But they
were so natural. They enjoyed themselves. And I believe in
the food truck and the little bar, not bar, but
the little convenience store, you know, country store on the property.
(10:20):
They had all kinds of stuff, apple, butter, jam, all
the jams that you can imagine, uh uh, fresh peanuts,
salted pea DUTs. Just it was. It had so much
in there. And I did a little shopping. So the
other other uh uh owners they would do they're like,
oh what did you buy? I said, Oh, I got
this this peanut concoction. Here, it looks good. Here, it
(10:42):
looks healthy and stuff. And of course I got natural honey,
organic honey, got two big jars of that and it
didn't cost that much. And I believe who I met
was the owners, the husband and wife owners. I wasn't
sure that. I didn't want to stare at I didn't
want to, you know, but we were just talking and
I told them about this, and I said, I'm gonna
give you guys a shout out tonight. And so the
(11:04):
cashier I believe was the wife. I could be wrong,
she wrote down the information. But you know, showcase of
Citrus is is whether you're single, whether you're married, whether
you have family or children, it doesn't matter. You will
enjoy it just to go on that ride. You will
enjoy that to see and again I saw plywood. I
(11:24):
did ask the question at the end. I said, I
see a lot of plywood. You know, are y'all like spanning?
And the tour guy did confirm that they're building like
treehouses and stuff where the bus could pull over and
you can walk up the ramp onto the treehouse and
really view the whole property. So kudos to them. I
told my baby boy about it when we came home.
(11:45):
He said, Mom, would you be willing to go back?
I said, I would love to go back, So he said, okay, Okay,
I said, yeah, you got to go because you dream.
It caused me to dream and to believe again that
there's a visionary out there that you hand take the
plan of God. Now I don't know if these if
the folks believe in God or not, but the way
this place is set up, it's just remarkable. And it
(12:08):
can beats all ages, and even the animals. And they
got named. They named all the animals. All the animals
have names, even the babies. Okay, and the tour guy
he was he was great, you know, he was funny
and stuff and it was natural and it was just nice.
So that really, like I said, you know, perfection the
(12:28):
training school for animals, for dogs. They're off the chain
and they're visionaries. And I may may have Darroll and
his wife and or his wife Penny on to talk
about where how that this idea came about. You'd be surprised.
So don't don't give up on dreams. Don't give up
(12:50):
on some visions that you have. Maybe you weren't ready
to do that, maybe society wasn't ready. Right now, society
is wide open. You could go do anything you want
to do. You could be a vending machine opera owner operator.
You could be uh a truck driver owner operator. You
can go and do digital divides, digital you know, storytelling what.
(13:13):
There's nothing right now in the world that is legal
that you cannot do nothing, So you if you're sitting
there and still in wonderment, you I'd have to check you.

Yes, my daughter is linked to some of those discounts.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, Tennessee is.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
In the house.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Who I think I may want to try it? Misty
is worth it? You will not? I don't. It can't
be a bad situation. And then of course bring some
good money so you could get take some treats with
you home and everything. They and they had wine, and
they're right, they had some liquor and stuff. So I
told one of their owners, I said, you get away
from the bottles. Get away from the bottles. You're driving
you got precious cargo, get away from that. She goes, yeah,
(17:03):
but it says peach something. I said, it don't just
walk away. You're seeing things. So we all laughed about that.
And then they had pupp cups. They had little ice
cream for the dogs. And this is the second year
that paw Faction has come along to do the training,
so they've got they instituted puppy cups. That general store
house fun. Yeah, it was, it's really nice. And my
(17:25):
daughter got this ice cream. Let me see if I
can show y'all. You could just look at her. You
see the beverage there, the three cups, their glasses. There
you can put ice cream. There's old fashioned vanilla ice cream.
That old fashioned vanilla ice cream we grew up with.
That's on top of like the orange juice of it.
(17:45):
And you know it's you know it's it was just awesome.
And let me see, I could give you an idea.
What the second picture, you'll see the bus. Second picture,
Oh there it is. See the bus. That's the bus
we got on that they thirty people, It fits thirty people.
I missed the last comment. Yeah, sound was delicious. Yeah, y'all.
(18:07):
Stay away from the liquor, though, Stay away from the
liquor because you're driving now right now. Don't get don't
get too excited over there. Don't let me have to
don't let them have to call me and say, Mss Gray,
we've got so and so what. I didn't even know
they were in town. But anyway, So now the homework
is gonna be. I need everybody going to the dollar
store and over the next two days, I'm gonna give
(18:29):
you to a Wednesday and I need you to pick
up a coloring book. Nothing fancy two for a dollar
at the Dollar General Dollar Tree. Go get you a
box of crayons. While you're there. I want you to
start coloring, and I want you to color inside the line.
Never thought we would live to see the day when
it was okay to color outside the line. And that's
what they call mindfulness. That creative art that's out there now,
(18:53):
that's been out there for over seven oh wow, over
five years at least or longer. And it's all, you know,
creative art, and it's the what we have. We how
do we address it? It's the non verbal third wave
of therapy. It's the third wave of therapy. So what
I did was, as I was learning about this, and
(19:14):
I've already shared this on the show. In my office,
I've got a table with coloring books and construction paper
and crayons and water paint and markers and part of
the therapy a coloring book and colors and crayons. Crayons, Charles,
what do you mean colors? What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
No book? So the markers or something.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I want you to get crayons. I want you to
get crayons because I don't want nothing seeping through the pages.
I want you to you know, get you a nice
themed coloring book. Okay, And I just want you to
to start coloring. Just take a page. Just do finish
a page. If you start a page, you have to
finish that page that day. Don't come back to it.
I want you to take that five to ten minutes.
(19:57):
It may take you fifteen minutes. No color by number either.
I don't want you to have to think about anything.
I want The only thing I want you to think
about the only thing the Lord wants you to think
about is what color you're gonna use to pay the penguin,
what color you're gonna use to pay the tin man?
And if it's a Wizard of Oz book, what colors
you know? That's all. And I want you to just
(20:18):
color date it go. So you go through this through
the whole month. That's your birthday to give to me.
That'd be your birthday gift to me. Can they do it? Huh?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
They do it with sounds?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Do what with sounds? Ain't no color sounds?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No, no, no.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
So when I get into my my mode or my mood,
what I passe I like to have, Like I go
to YouTube and they have water sounds or you.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Know it's trickly, it's just relaxing. That's why I say,
can they do it with sounds or without sounds?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Or let's let's try without sound it's wrong, Okay, let's try.
Let's see if this could calm you down, help you
clear your mind, help you to be able to concentrate.
I've got to stay in this line. I got to
stay in this line. But just right now, oh, I
can shade it this way. I want you to be
creative with the coloring. Don't just because it's a cat
(21:17):
has got to be black and white. Don't you know,
step outside of your comfort zone. Pink the cat think
and its tail, its little toenails something. If that's what
you want to do. You know what I'm saying. I
think he wants sus just to be free and elder
kill No will verify this. A few years back, the
Lord had me to seed into the church in Tennessee
(21:40):
some money to go get some boxes of puzzles, and
their homework was to finish a puzzle. It was to
finish a puzzle and then you were to report back
how you felt because did it improve your eyesight? Didn't
improve your clarity? Did it make things clearer for you.
I do a puzzle on my eye pad and on
(22:00):
my phone. It clears me. It helps me with my eyesight.
It helps me to spot things and stuff like that.
So we got to go back to some natural stuff,
some natural and don't get fancy crayons that gotta smell
to it and all that kind of stuff. Get your
regular eight pack, twelve pack, sixty four pack, however you
want to do that now. But I need you to
get a nice size coloring book that would last for
(22:23):
this month. We got thirty we're at day four now,
so minus thirty one, we're at what twenty seven days
I've left in the month, huh, twenty seven? So I
want you to get a coloring book. And yes, this
is gonna be outside your comfort zone because you're gonna
say to yourself, your mind is going to tell you, you know,
you really don't have time for that now, you know that, right,
(22:43):
Your mind is gonna be talking to you like, oh God,
now I gotta go to the store, and yes, go
get a dollar and fifty cent coloring book, because say
two four dollars at the gym, at the door at
the store. If you can't afford that, you called me.
All right, you called me. I could see your five dollars,
including go get you a coloring book and some crayons.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go tomorrow myself. I'm gonna
(23:05):
do this because he wants us to relax. He wants you.
When he says take your mind off of that, he
means take your mind off of it. He's like, I
got this unload on me. I was telling God the
other day, I don't I know, I do have certain
people I can call and talk to, but there are
times that you just don't want to pick up the phone.
You don't want a dollar number, you don't want to
(23:27):
this Lord, please. And I had to ask God to
forgive me through the weekend because I don't want it
to appear as if I don't trust you, I don't
want you. I don't want it to appear as if
I'm doubting you. I don't want it to appear as
if I'm trying to tell you how to bless me.
I shared this with a lady at the restaurant when
(23:47):
I went and had myself bought myself some lunch, and
I was hoping that she would be there because I
wanted to plan a seed. I wanted to give a
seed because the Devil's made me very mad. I was
angry these past few weeks. You couldn't tell because I
got some miscellaneous want to be out there dumping cat
food in my yard and I had to go. I
had to go have a fence put up. I had
(24:09):
to go and get signage to tell you, to tell
you to keep stay off my property. That makes no sense,
but what God had me to do in the white
little section on that no trespassing sign I put scripture
warfare scripture. Not google that. If you can't read no trespassing,
google those scriptures. Yes, the puzzles were fun. And then
(24:30):
like say I'm going to get a coloring book. Okay,
that's okay, amen. And yeah, but getting back to that,
and so I needed to plan a seed. When the
devil messages with me, he's I take I go after
what he thinks I'm not going to use, and that's
my money, physical money, and I will go plan a seed.
So I want to plan a seed. And it's ironic
(24:53):
that this woman sister has two major thousands of dollars
worth of testing coming up. Issue was telling me that
as we were talking about the Lord, and she sent money.
She sent what she could to her sister. She goes,
our brother is eight of us. It's this waitress is
the oldest of eight siblings. And she can only say,
(25:13):
one of my brothers is gonna help my sister. She
don't have it. Her health is always. And I'm sitting
there looking at God. Now. I already pulled the seed
out and put it, but she couldn't see it because
she was kind of talking to her away from her.
And all I could do is you just something else, sir,
you are something else. So and I told her, I
got a seed for you, and I'm gonna ball it up.
(25:34):
I'm gonna fold it up because I don't want you
to look at it, and I don't want you to
pull it out of your pocket until you see me
drive away, and you know it's God. So I can
only imagine, and I pray that she didn't fame. But
that's Nina. I get in the car and I said, okay, Satan,
what's next? What's next? You can't get me in my family,
you can't get me in my money, you can't get
me at my peace. Now you took my peace. You
(25:58):
troubled me over these last few week with this cat
food mess. What's next? What's next? Let's go, Let's go.
And that's one thing you have to know within yourself
on this faith walk, on your faith walk. What is
it that you feel that the devil knows you won't do?
If he messes with us, he messes with you, he
takes you. He steals your joy, he steals your peace,
(26:21):
he steals your creativity. What about you? Does he know
that you won't do? That's what you do? I know
as a stretch, but I had to forgive somebody who
owes me a lot of money. I've been forgave, she's
lost a lot since then. But guess what I had
to say today? I forgive and called out her name
(26:42):
out loud for how she's treated me, the disrespect everything.
I forgive whoever this nutt is that's putting cat food
in my yard. Now he's putting she is putting it
in the neighbor's yard. We moved it this morning. She
ain't putting it in my yard anymore because I also
put on there. I got the sticker we're license to
(27:02):
we're licensed to carry a cacealed weapon and one of
us is and I don't ask questions. We're not gonna
ask questions. You step foot. We didn't invite you, we
didn't send for you. He made me pull out all
this money to secure what God has given me. Read
the scripture, got four sets out there, read them, read them.
So getting back to releasing your mind, getting things off
(27:28):
of your mind. I was talking to someone today and
she just could not get passed. I don't understand. I
don't know the why. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
be quiet because to me, you don't want to know.
You don't want to break through. And if got be
looking at me, I have nothing for you. My giving
season like that is over. I'm collecting the loans that
(27:51):
are due. Do you find that tempting the evil will
bring more or draw their attention to your plan? Of course,
that's his job to still kill and destroy, kill your dreams,
steal your energy, take your health, destroy your you, having
you to destroy yourself verbally by what you say to
yourself every day. That's a job. And I'm not tempting him,
(28:12):
I'm challenging him. You're not afraid the devil, He's afraid
of God. He'll never admit it, but he is afraid
because he knows that God is designated some of his people,
some of these humans that are on earth, God designated them.
He waited on us to get back to him, and
the Devil's like, I know, I can't now, I can't
(28:35):
do nothing because I don't know what Miguel's What's gonna
come out of Miguel's mouth while he's interviewing his clients
for insurance. I don't know what's gonna come out of
Gena's mouth, his wife while she's doing case management and
triageing clients. It's gonna change somebody. One of those clients.
We are assigned to come on one of those customers. We
(28:56):
are assigned not a I'm not only ass I g
a sign, but a sign as ign two. And we connect.
We connect. It may be brief, we connect. We connect.
Y'all say something, say something, say something. We still do
a coloring books and crowns.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Well, I do I do want to say one thing
in regards to what you were talking about, not worry
and you you actually spoke about Matthew. Chapter six, Verses
twenty five through twenty four. I'm sorry, twenty five through
thirty four, where Jesus was talking about do not worry.
(29:39):
And one of the key things that Jesus talked about
is that the grass doesn't worry about what or the
flowers doesn't worry about what clothes it's going to put
put on because of their natural beauty. And and that's
so important for us to understand that we worry about
(30:00):
certain things when we really shouldn't be worrying about it.
And you touched on something that I heard. This has
been a prophetic show so far, so thank you for
setting it up that way because you touched on the
fact of coloring within the lines. And I'm writing a
(30:23):
paper for my class about revolutionary ethics as well as
biblical ethics, and how I opened up the paper was
simply stating that life, when we're trying to walk through life,
life is not establishing what's right and what's wrong. Like
a baseball field, you know, inside the foul lines, that's
(30:46):
the playing field. You know, those are the boundaries. Like
a football field, you know that there's a sidelines and
end zones, and that's the boundaries to play. And we
have to understand that we have to play within those
boundaries well to the point that you brought up, miss
Gray about the devil knows where to attack the first Timothy,
(31:07):
First Timothy, I'm sorry, two Timothy one seven makes it
very clear that God did not give us a spirit
of fear. Now to add on to that, to give
you something that was said that I wrote it down
that being afraid of doing what you have been called
(31:27):
to do is pride. Now, I'm going to go a
little deep here. When we're afraid to do what God
calls us to do, and the enemy is going to
jump on that to make you feel afraid, because what
you're doing is you're establishing excuses of not doing what
(31:49):
God's called you to do because you're afraid that you're
going to be embarrassed that people are going to be
looking at you, for example buying a coloring book. Now, hey,
so what you're doing is.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
A strengthening defenses.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We'll get there, Mickey, go ahead, past.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
So, so basically, what you're doing is you're allowing your pride,
which is the son of the devil. And then when
you're allowing the pride to get in the way of
doing God's work, now you've made excuses to be disobedient.
So here is where we have to understand that who
(32:29):
is in control is the creator. And despite what we
may say about the enemy, the enemy still as disobedient
as he is, he will recognize who God is because
God is the most high, Satan is below. So he
has to understand reverence and sovereignty. And this is why
(32:52):
it's so key to be an example who we trust,
who we believe in, and that's our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Mean, Mickey, I want to go back to Okay, Janey,
I don't know. Okay, when we worry, we completely forget.
I'm sorry. Yeah, when we worry, we could forget who
holds the key to all of our tomorrows, and that's God.
We are cast to cast all of our cares upon him.
Our faith you speak louder than our troubles. Amen, Thank you, Janey,
Thank you, Micky. Going back to that, that was a
(33:22):
great example of that. Definitely, how can you strengthen your
defense study the word because you still don't know the
power and authority we walk in. You still don't know that.
How I can go and confront somebody and call them
a witch to their face. You still got to understand that.
So by studying your Bible, putting on a new song,
singing into his course with thanksgiving and praise, waking up
(33:45):
to praising God. It's the steps we've talked about, the
steps studying to show yourself approof meditate on his word
day and night, fast and pray, watch and pray. You know,
give up your first fruit, your tithe you're offering. You'll
see it off into His course of thanksgiving and praise.
But you got to continue to do it. It's not
just a one time thing. You have to strengthen. You
(34:08):
have to strengthen. The only thing that calmed me down
from dealing with this neighbor who's putting cat food in
my yard is the God said, can you please put
my word? Put my word on the no trespassing side,
Put my word up there, you read it out loud,
and you put you have them write it down and God.
And then I heard a pastor say on one of
(34:28):
the Facebook reels, if you don't get yourself out of
God's way and let him do it?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yes, come on me.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
How often have I said that? Is there a reason
the person that's putting out the cat food Anastasia, I
don't care. I'm not a safe haven for stray animals.
And rodents. If you want to do that, there's nothing
wrong with that. I know some people feel that they
got to save everybody and the cats included and the
rats and everything. Put it in your yard. Should not
(34:58):
have to put signs. Are they missing the cat? No.
She told me a history about a man behind on
the next street had twenty three cats, and she said, oh,
I went to pray for him. He still killed himself.
I told her, don't tell anybody that leave that part
of the story out. That's not good. That's not you
don't And the cats are dad. This is twenty some
(35:20):
year over, twenty seven years ago, somebody had twenty three
cats in their house and cat. I saw one pharaoh
cat and he was unfortunately he gave he spent his
ninth life in the street. But I should not have
to do that. I don't care what you do, but
I care about mine. Now. I had to go fumigate
my yard. Then I had to go keep my hand
(35:40):
in man to put up on what it fits to
show this is my property. Then I had to go
and get signage and I get it. I know, I
know people all we wanted to seek. Well, put it
at your house, they'll come the food is out there,
they'll come, they'll find it. But you didn't have to
put it on mine. Not when I've asked you nicely.
Nothing I gave you. Well. And before they built your house,
(36:02):
you know, it was an empty land and I had
to catch myself out. I say, well, but there's a
house there, this family living there now my family. But
I want to say. The main thing is after I
had to hear a total stranger say, if you don't
get yourself out of God's way, I had to repent.
(36:24):
That's another thing. People ain't repenting. When you're not doing right.
You got to go to your knees. You got to
put your hands up, close your eyes and say, please
forgive me, Please forgive me. I'm so sorry that I'm
in your way. I'm so sorry. I'm leading to my
own understanding on it. I was about to camp out
in the cut, in the dark. We'll catch you. We've
(36:46):
about to camp out. I was gonna get one of
my swords in my hand. Don't tell you what. I
don't know what I've done. When done, but I would
have been armed. And guy said, what you're doing? What
you're doing? So you don't trust me? You don't think
I can handle this. You really think I need your help.
I'm like, oh God, there I go. I go twenty
(37:06):
paces forward and sixteen back, so I have to see
because I tell the devil, you don't. You haven't. You
haven't cut me off yet. And you had your chance, Satan,
seven years ago. You want to kill me. You had
your chance. I was the most vulnerable. I think I
have a few I know I had a few people
praying for me. I couldn't even respond, even when I
(37:27):
came out of the coma. I couldn't even speak. I
couldn't even fight. I was too weak. You had your chance.
And I've already told you. For God I live and
for God I die. That's these two, these two right here.
If I pass away, what would be their memory of me?
For God I live and for God I die. This
is not easy. He never said it wouldn't be. But
(37:48):
he takes the load off my favorite scripture. I remove
the burden from your shoulders and free your hands from
the pots burden over there. I'm over here because I'm
leaning on Jesus right now. I'm in his bosom. I'm
under his his arm, his glory. I'm under him yuays,
you just got to let go and let him do
what he does best. He set practics free, He set
(38:12):
us free, He set us free, He set us free.
Y'all talk. I'm gonna show you my balloons.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Ah those a nice It was a nice balloon, nice colors.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Oh my god, my heart. Publics public haves come through
the party city that had closed down.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Hurt my heart.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I'm like, where are we going? Where we're gonna inflate
the balloons?
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Sounds like a business to me?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Did your helium take there?
Speaker 4 (38:36):
You go? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (38:38):
You know, everything everything that, everything was said, The night
was great. I don't really have a whole lot to
add to it because this was It's just more affirmation.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
You know. When I woke up this morning, I was like,
what is this heaviness?
Speaker 5 (38:52):
You know, I didn't know what it was, and so
uh going into work and required I said, let me
I go get myself some breakfast, you know, because I said, well,
trying to, I said, let me get some breakfast. And
I actually sat in the car and ate before I
went into the building, because I knew once I got it,
I wasn't going to enjoy my breakfast.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I don't know what it just meant so much to
me to have breakfast.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Before I went in, and I was ready to face
the day once I got in there.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
So, you know, God knows what we need.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
He you know, sometimes you think you're gonna go one
way and He says, no, go go go that way,
and so you just have to be obedient and ready
to pivot when he says go.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
And so as the day went, you know, it got better.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
I felt more accomplished, and you know, being even being
able to do the show. You know, it's beautiful outside.
I know, you see you in the car sitting in
the park. Just yeah, it's just it's nice. It's just
it lets me really really know I know anyway, but
just really affirms that God is there.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
He is present.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
You know, the beautiful sky, whether it was clouds or
on the trees.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You know, the birds, the you know, it's just nature.
It's good to be able to do that. Some natural sunlight,
vitamin indeed to clear your mind.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
You know, coloring.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
I love coloring amongst a lot of stuff, so you know, please,
audience members said, do you find the car to be relaxing?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
You know what I actually do.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
It's odd because I'm gonna tell you to say something.
So I'm watching make sure this person does not hit
my car backing up, I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
So I'm looking. So No, but the car.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
When I was a caregiver, and I would get on
work and before when I got home, and before I
would go in and work with my dad, sometimes I
would just sit in the car because I had to
remove my previous day. I did not want to take
that in there to the house with him, and I.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
Would get in the car. The car is really relaxing,
you know.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
Sometimes I've taken naps in the car in between clients,
sat at the park and stuff.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
So yeah, the car actually is not just me, as
a few of my friends.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Who are caregivers or work caregivers, they found sitting in
the car before they went to there to care for
their loved one was relaxing. Sometimes it's the only, you know,
time that you have just to kind of and then
go in. But that's pretty much what I have to
add today.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
If I may add about the car. Zig Ziggler, I
don't know if too many people know who zig Ziggler is.
He taught that you can turn you can convert your
car into a mobile university and how you can be
(41:42):
able to switch from listening to the music you're listening
to or whatever you listen to. You can convert it
into a university where you can actually listen to podcasts
or teachings of the Bible. And this way, what it's
doing is it's strengthening you so you can function more
(42:06):
for the Kingdom of God. And this is why it
allows you to grow, not only mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
It wentn't kind of quick. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
You have me under the cars, counting the car from
the negative energy we dump and release into it. Uh no,
it's it's gonna ground you because you if you've got
all this negative stuff that's putting that heavy weight w
E I G H T on you, that's burdeninging, burdening
(42:40):
you down, and you got to release that because most
of the time there's nothing you can do about it.
You can work as many jobs, you can go and buy,
you can max out your credit cards. You still got
the same bill and now you're more in debt and
you can turn. Yeah, you could turn to your vices.
You're smoking, of vapor, your drinking, But after you get
(43:02):
that on, after you done purchased all that stuff. You're
less than twenty five dollars and you still got the
water bill, you got the pay We will pick this
up next week. We're gonna say night night. We'll see
you next week. Get that coloring book. I want everybody
coming home tell us you got the coloring book, and
we look that day
