00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:10.199
Hey, Hey, I'm back with
something for you to think about. You

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:16.000
need to hear this today. Someone
need to hear it. When you feel

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:25.760
that God does not hear you,
What do you do when you're praying and

4
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:32.119
praying and praying, but you just
feel that you're not getting an answer.

5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:40.520
You don't feel that God hears you. What you do? You keep on

6
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:50.479
praying. You keep on praying,
because the Bible says the race is not

7
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:58.039
given to the swift nor the strong, but to the one who endure to

8
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:03.320
the end. Remember, we walk
by faith and not by sight. Oh,

9
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:10.319
sometimes it's difficult. Sometimes we get
a little bit discouraged. People can

10
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.799
say that they don't We're human,
We're still flesh and bone and blood.

11
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.920
So sometimes we do get a little
discouraged. But let me tell you,

12
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.959
do not stay there. Because the
trick of the enemy is to distract you.

13
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.879
That is his job to distract you, to knock you off of your

14
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.879
game. Let me tell you,
do not fall for it. Do not

15
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.120
fall for it. Whatever you're going
through, if God brought you to it,

16
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.400
he would definitely help you through it. Do not give up. He

17
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:56.959
hears every cry, he hears every
plea, he hears every call. He

18
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:05.560
may not come when you want him, but he's always on time. Sometimes

19
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.639
we're so selfish. All we do
is pray for this, pray for that,

20
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:20.240
but we're not praying for those things
that going to help us reach eternal

21
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:29.039
life with the Father. We worry
about everything else. So sometimes God makes

22
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:35.360
us wait. But don't give up
just because you don't feel your prayers are

23
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.639
answering. God hears you, He
hears you, He knows when to intervene.

24
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.879
He always come one time. It
may not look like it, it

25
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.319
may not feel like it, but
he always shows up on time. So

26
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:59.840
don't give up. Stay encouraged,
Stay around good people who are going to

27
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.639
encourage you. Stay around people who
are gonna do the right thing. Sometimes

28
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:13.000
we look around it what's going on
in this world, and it is it's

29
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:19.800
so discouraging, it really is.
Sometimes you have to back away, back

30
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:25.879
off from the TV, from the
computers, from all the things that brings

31
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:36.520
nothing but drama, tragedy, trauma. Sometimes you have to back away from

32
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:44.759
that technology. And every day you
should find yourself in prayer. At some

33
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.479
point, get close to the Lord, and no matter if you feel discouraged,

34
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.879
no matter if you feel you're not
being hurt. You are being hurt.

35
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.120
The devil wants you to be discouraged. He wants you to get that,

36
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.599
get that in your head, But
he's a lie. He's already a

37
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:11.120
defeated folk. Don't fall for it. Know that God hears your crises,

38
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:19.560
he hears your please, but he's
gonna move on his time, not yours.

39
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.160
So many people want to give up. That's because you have no root.

40
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.560
You want to give up and let
go because you have no root.

41
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.600
You have to get rooted. Get
rooted by getting in the word of God,

42
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:42.240
getting closer to the Lord. Living
as though your goal is heaven.

43
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.040
Not for what other people say,
but because you know the Master, who

44
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:55.079
sit high and look low, sees, hears and knows it all. So

45
00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.000
don't get discouraged. Do not get
to a point where you feel God don't

46
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.040
love you. God don't care because
he don't hear you. That's not true.

47
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.879
It's not true at all. So
don't feel like that. Just keep

48
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:17.199
going, keep praying without cease.
You gotta tarry sometime. That means you

49
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.120
gotta stay there. You gotta keep
praying, keep pressing, keep pushing,

50
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.839
never give up. So many people
give up when their breakthrough was right around

51
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.560
the corner. They didn't make it
to their breakthrough because they gave up.

52
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.279
Stay in the fight, stay in
the race. The battle is already won,

53
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.600
but we still must stay in the
race. Victory is ours, but

54
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:58.920
we must stay in the race.
A lot of people just think, oh,

55
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.160
Jesus gave us salvation. Salvation is
free, then I should have a

56
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:09.079
free ticket to Heaven. Well you
do, but you gotta do what is

57
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:15.040
required to get there. It's free. So don't let the devil fool you

58
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.720
do. Not be discouraged. Don't
give up, don't let go. Keep

59
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.800
your eyes on the prize, keep
your head on the plow, keep going

60
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:34.199
forward in the Lord. Just keep
praying, keep talking to him, keep

61
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:43.240
believing, keep the faith. Believe
that you have power, Activate your power,

62
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.680
and move forth in the Lord.
I don't care what anyone says.

63
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:55.240
I don't care what they do.
Keep believing that Jesus is real. Keep

64
00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.360
believing that God is who he say
he is. He's the same as he

65
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:10.720
always being. So just hold on, never give up. And I know

66
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.680
sometimes it's hard. I know because
truly, if you really really really really

67
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:24.560
really really are about God's business,
Oh, this thing gets lonely sometimes because

68
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:30.360
people that you love they walk away
from you. They turn their backs on

69
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.839
you because you're not doing what they're
doing. So when you're not doing what

70
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:40.879
people are doing, they have the
tendency of not going to be around you

71
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.560
when you're trying to live right,
they don't want to be around you.

72
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:53.800
They don't. So sometimes it get
a little lonely. You're a lone a

73
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:59.879
lot. But it's okay, it's
gonna pass. It's going to pass.

74
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.399
Never ever, ever, ever given
to any other mess the devil trying to

75
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.240
bring before you, telling you people
don't love you, people don't want to

76
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.040
be around you, this and that. Oh well, you don't give anyone

77
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:24.279
your power anyways, so that shouldn't
bother you. It's just a form of

78
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:31.559
distraction because the devil wants you to
give up. The devil wants you to

79
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.080
let go. But like I said, he is already a defeated folk.

80
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:48.360
Don't let him fool you, him
nor his little minions. So stay strong

81
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.440
in the Lord. It's gonna pay
off after a while, and your reward

82
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.000
no one can touch it, no
one, no one can give to you

83
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.879
what the Lord can. If you
just stay in the race. If you

84
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.919
just believe and you keep holding on
through all of your tests, through all

85
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.840
of your trials and tribulations that you
may go through, keep holding on,

86
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.799
keep standing on the word of God. He's never gonna leave or forsake you.

87
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.919
He's right there. All you have
to do is grab a on,

88
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:35.200
hold on tight, grab a good
grip, never let go. Never give

89
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.919
up. When it seems tough,
Hey, stand there, stick and stay

90
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:48.799
because it does get tough. Sometimes
that's a part of life. You can't

91
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.440
have a good all the time.
It won't always feel good. Sometimes it's

92
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:03.039
hard. But never give up.
Never give in. Stay in the race.

93
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.480
Stay in the race because your reward
will be great. No one can

94
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:18.519
touch it. It will be great. Don't miss out because you got discouraged.

95
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.440
Don't miss out because you got distracted. That's what the devil wants.

96
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:33.200
He wants you distract, distracted,
he wants you feeling down, depressed,

97
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.399
alone, He wants all of that
because he knew if he gets you in

98
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.519
that state of mind, he can
pull you away. So that's why you

99
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:54.600
have to have a good grip.
You have to have roots roots, so

100
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.559
nothing or no one can come and
sway you to the left or to the

101
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:07.360
right, because you know whose side
you're on. So don't be fooled by

102
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:18.120
the devil his angels, man,
no one or nothing. Stay with the

103
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.200
Lord. Stay on the Lord's side, continue to trust and believe in him.

104
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.919
Know that he hears every cry,
every prayer, He hears you,

105
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:37.559
and he will show up on his
time. And it's always on time.

106
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.480
God is good, not sometimes,
but all of the time. Just keep

107
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:58.000
asking for more strength, more faith, more power. Just believe that you're

108
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:05.600
everything God inte for you to be. Man will deceive you every time,

109
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.240
but God will never do that.
So stay in the race. Know that

110
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.600
God is right here with you,
right there with you, right here with

111
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.240
me, with us all of the
time. He never forsakes us. People

112
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.440
forsake God. And yes, God
sometimes do turn people over to reprobate minds,

113
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.600
those people who just don't want to
change. They don't wanna do right,

114
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.039
They want to continue to do what
they want to do and live a

115
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.279
hard life when they don't have to. So sometime God do turn people over

116
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.440
to reprobate minds when they don't want
to let go to drugs, they don't

117
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.919
want to let go to alcohol,
they want to continue to do the terrible

118
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.320
things they've been doing. Sometimes you
turn you over to reprobate minds. He

119
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:05.200
takes his hands off of you.
An oh, Lord, mmmmmmmmmm, have

120
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:13.480
mercy, because if you take his
hand off of you, oh, that's

121
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.759
a terrible, terrible, terrible,
terrible situation to be in where God has

122
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:26.240
turned you over to a reprobate mind. So please stay in the race.

123
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:37.039
Never give up. Don't follow for
discouragement. If it's not positive, turn

124
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.200
the other way. Stay positive,
stay in the race, stay on the

125
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:52.720
Lord's side. And I promise you, I promise you you will have a

126
00:13:52.799 --> 00:14:00.240
mansion in the Kingdom. You will
walk those streets of God. Old.

127
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.919
Just know that God is with you. The Lord is with you. When

128
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.919
it's tough, just call on him. Just call on him. Don't let

129
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.159
the devil in your ear. Call
on him. He's listening. Just cry

130
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.799
out, Lord, help me.
Lord. I just feel I need a

131
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.799
double dose today. Lord, I
can't make it. Lord, I need

132
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:39.600
you Jesus. Just call on him
and allow the Holy Spirit to be ushered

133
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:46.120
in, because that's who Jesus left
for us as as a comforter, the

134
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.799
Holy Spirit. So hang in there, my sister, my brother, hang

135
00:14:54.080 --> 00:15:01.840
in there. God is always with
you and he will never let you down.

136
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:07.440
I know sometimes you may not get
what you want, but it may

137
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:16.240
not be what you need. God
knows better than you know. I just

138
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.679
wanted to tell you, do not
get discouraged. God hears you, he

139
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:28.799
sees you, He understands, he
knows what's going on with you. He

140
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:35.960
feels your pain, He see your
tears. Never give up. Lay whatever

141
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.240
it is at his feet. Don't
go back and pick it up. Lay

142
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:48.720
it at his feet and leave it
there. Because remember one thing. Faith.

143
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:58.360
Remember what it is. You gotta
remember what it is. Faith is

144
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:07.200
the substance of things, hope for
evidence of things not seen. So it's

145
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:15.200
intangible. It's intangible. But you
must have faith. The Bible says,

146
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:22.320
if you don't have faith, you
can't please the Lord. We must have

147
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.200
faith. So stay in the race, no matter what it looks like,

148
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:32.279
no matter what it feels like.
No that you know that, you know

149
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:41.080
that God is standing by and he
hears your crist. He will never forsake

150
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:47.360
you. Like I say, we
forsake him, but he will never forsake

151
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:55.039
us. And I don't care who
comes, who goes, It don't matter

152
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.480
God is still who he say he
is. Now, there are a lot

153
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.920
of people who have made different people
and different things their gods. But I'm

154
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:15.000
talking to true saints of God because
we're made of flesh and bone and blood

155
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:21.920
too, and sometimes we allow that
flesh to rise up. But you got

156
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.680
to know that Jesus is who he
say he is. God is God.

157
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.000
And when that flesh begin to try
to rise up, you know what to

158
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:41.559
do. Call on Jesus. Call
on him. That's what he wants you

159
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:47.519
to do. Call on him.
He's never busy. He's not gonna say,

160
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.519
hey, call me back, I'm
on the phone with this person that

161
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.519
that person. No, you're not
gonna run into any of that. Just

162
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.680
call out to him. So I
just want to Encoura, would you never

163
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.680
give up, never give up,
never let go, stay on the Lord's

164
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:15.240
side because that's where you belong.
So many people choose their own path away

165
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:21.359
from the Lord. Now you know, I'm all about choosing a different path.

166
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:29.279
That it is positive when you've been
raised in a bad situation, but

167
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:36.000
when it comes to the Lord,
you're for him or against him, and

168
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:45.160
the path of Jesus there's the best
way you can live your life is living

169
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.880
for him. That's the best place
you could ever be. On the path

170
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.119
of Jesus, on the path of
God, that's the best place you could

171
00:18:52.160 --> 00:19:00.759
ever be. And no matter who
come, no matter what what comes,

172
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:11.160
stay with the Lord because he hears
your cries, he hear your please.

173
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:19.200
So don't give up. Just when
you're going through and you're struggling the devil

174
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.519
know he's gonna keep throwing things at
you, or he's gonna make things look

175
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:32.200
glorious to you because he's trying to
break you down in such a way that

176
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:36.759
you leave the Lord. Don't allow
that to happen, because the devil in

177
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.400
the world has nothing to offer you
but damn nation and hell. That's it.

178
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:48.680
Everything glitters is not gold, Everything
that feels good is not good for

179
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.240
you. Everything that looks good is
not good. So stay on the Lord's

180
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.960
side, you, because that's where
you belong and it's the best place you

181
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.200
could ever be. I'm leaving it
right there. Thank you so much for

you, you, you, you,

183
