00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello, and welcome to Claudie Cruise. I'm your girl,

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Israel Risen. Thank you for joining me. No, I do

3
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>not apologize for anything I've said prior. Let's start there,

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>but I do got a story to tell y'all. Okay,

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 1>it's a short story, so hopefully you'll stick around to

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the end. I call it the path already cleared. The

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 1>traveler stood at the age of a forest just before sunrise.

8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Miscovered the path so completely that not a single step

9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 1>ahead could be seen. Fear whispered, Wait until you can

10
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>see the whole journey. Faith whispered, take the first step.

11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>For a long moment, the traveler wrestled with both voices.

12
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Then deep within came a quiet reminder, I have already

13
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>gone before thee. The word settled into the soul, like roots,

14
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>finding water. With a steady breath, the traveler stepped forward.

15
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>The mists did not disappear at all. As the matter

16
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>of fact, it didn't disappear at once. Instead, it moved

17
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>just enough to reveal the next step, then the next,

18
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>and then another. Every stone that could have caused a

19
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 1>fall had already been removed. Every hidden danger had already

20
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>been accounted for. Though unseen. The creator had to walk

21
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that road long before the traveler ever arrived. Hours later,

22
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>standing on a mountain overlooking a breath taking valley, the

23
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>traveler smiled. The mountain had never been impossible, He had

24
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 1>only required trust. So walk with boldness, walk with strength,

25
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Walk knowing that what is meant for you cannot be stolen,

26
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>delayed forever, or destroyed by the plans of others. When

27
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>fear says what if I fail, answer with, my God

28
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>has already gone before me and got the victory. When

29
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>doubt says you're not ready, answer with the one who

30
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 1>called me has prepared me. The way, has prepared me,

31
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>has prepared the way. Look at this. No, no, no,

32
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say, the one who called me has prepared

33
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the way before I ever entered into the wound of

34
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>my mother. Lift your head, strengthen your heart. Your footsteps

35
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>are not random, They are ordered with purpose. The same

36
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 1>hand that opened the sea got it the willingness and

37
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 1>brought light into darkness is still a to make a

38
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>way where none appears. Keep walking. The victory isn't waiting

39
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the road. It has been walking

40
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>beside you the whole time. That's why I'm unbothered by

41
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>y'all
