Speaker 1: H hey, hey, hey, I'm bad. Listen.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you're gonna take it, but I
Speaker 2: don't have no control on how you're gonna take it.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna give it to you.
Speaker 2: If you don't have the mind and the heart of readiness,
Speaker 2: so much is going to affect you. So much is
Speaker 2: going to affect you because in life, there is so
Speaker 2: much that goes on, There is so much that happens,
Speaker 2: there is so much unexpected. If you are not a
Speaker 2: person with the mind in the heart of readiness, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have.
Speaker 1: A hard struggle through your storms.
Speaker 2: Now, I want to tell you something, and I've said
Speaker 2: that many times, many many.
Speaker 1: People, millions up on millions, up on millions of.
Speaker 2: People profess Christ, they profess God.
Speaker 1: But it's a lie.
Speaker 2: And all you have to do is look at how
Speaker 2: they dress, Listen to how they talk, look at what
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 1: It's going to tell you the truth.
Speaker 2: But see, you don't understand that when you're blind, you
Speaker 2: can't see reality. When you're blind. Most times people don't
Speaker 2: realize that they're blind, and that's why so many are
Speaker 2: led right into the ditch, right into the ditch. When
Speaker 2: you don't understand that things are.
Speaker 1: Going to happen.
Speaker 2: I mean things that crush you to the core. They're
Speaker 2: going to happen. Unexpected things are going to happen. Expected
Speaker 2: things are going to happen.
Speaker 1: It's just fact. It's fact.
Speaker 2: Most people profess Christ, but they're so weak. They're filled
Speaker 2: with violeness, They're filled with hatred and anger and bitterness
Speaker 2: when things happen unexpected or even expected.
Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. When my mom had
Speaker 1: a stroke.
Speaker 2: No one expected that my sister went over to her
Speaker 2: house like normal, and my mom barely could open the door,
Speaker 2: and it progressed from there. No one expected that I
Speaker 2: had just moved closer to my mom and this happened.
Speaker 2: Never had the opportunity to be close to her, you know,
Speaker 2: and proximity distance wise, And that happened unexpectedly, and it
Speaker 2: was like jarring to see your mom in that way.
Speaker 2: And when she passed away four months later, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I thought my world was gonna end. And I've talked
Speaker 2: about this before on an episode. But because of my faith,
Speaker 2: God reminded me of who and whose I am? Who
Speaker 2: I am and whose I am? He reminded me. He
Speaker 2: reminded me of my own words, and it woke me up.
Speaker 1: It woke me up. You know better than anyone else.
Speaker 1: It's what the Holy Spirit said to me.
Speaker 2: You know better than anyone else that unexpected things happen.
Speaker 1: But you also know.
Speaker 2: That you you have to keep your focus. You can't
Speaker 2: be distracted. And losing my mom was bad because it's like,
Speaker 2: how do you function in the world without your mom?
Speaker 2: But then I thought about some people never had a mom.
Speaker 2: I mean, many things went through my head that pulled
Speaker 2: me back into reality.
Speaker 1: And it's been going on four years now and I.
Speaker 2: Still miss my mom every day. I'm just not crying
Speaker 2: like I was. Sometimes I go crying now, but it's
Speaker 2: not like it was. But it just really strengthened me
Speaker 2: even more because I've always been a person to say,
Speaker 2: you know, anything could happen. We just have to stay
Speaker 2: in prayer and ask God, no matter what happened, keep
Speaker 2: me strong, keep me standing, let me be able to endure.
Speaker 1: And you must mean those words.
Speaker 2: If you mean those words, he will give you peace
Speaker 2: that surpass us all understanding people will look at you
Speaker 2: like you're crazy. Why in the world is she not
Speaker 2: falling apart? Why is he able to withstand this? How
Speaker 2: can he do you know, function like He's functioning because
Speaker 2: of the peace that God gives.
Speaker 1: Every day of my life. That is one of my prayers.
Speaker 2: Lord, no matter what it is, keep me standing, let
Speaker 2: me be able to endure.
Speaker 1: And I've told you many times.
Speaker 2: Of a situation that I'm going through and I'll go
Speaker 2: through it to death until my dying breath.
Speaker 1: I will go through this situation. But God has kept me.
Speaker 2: It makes me emotional when I think about it, but
Speaker 2: God has kept me through it all. And it is traumatic,
Speaker 2: it's very traumatic, but God has kept me through it all.
Speaker 2: And I'm not special. I've told you I'm not special.
Speaker 2: But I have the love for Jesus. I have a
Speaker 2: love for God. I'm not faking it. I live it.
Speaker 2: And therefore He has given me what he promised, that
Speaker 2: peace that surpasses all understanding. And no matter what I
Speaker 2: go through, no matter what, I'm gonna keep standing because
Speaker 2: I love my family, my friends, other people, but my
Speaker 2: focus is God. That's where my strength comes from. That's
Speaker 2: where my help comes from. That's who calms me, that's
Speaker 2: who comforts me when the devil want to try to
Speaker 2: take your mind. That's who keep me when the devil
Speaker 2: want to attack your body. That's who keep me. When
Speaker 2: people talk about you, that's who keep me. So I
Speaker 2: don't know about you, but I know you have to
Speaker 2: be sold out for real, for real, talking it and
Speaker 2: not walking it.
Speaker 1: It won't do. Saying it out, you know, from your mouth,
Speaker 1: with your heart far from him, it won't do.
Speaker 2: You will not be able to sustain, You will not
Speaker 2: be able to handle it. You will not be able
Speaker 2: to stand. I'm telling you, when that dark I will come,
Speaker 2: you will break. You'll break. And that's not who God
Speaker 2: want us to be.
Speaker 1: It is not who you want us to be.
Speaker 2: He wants you to understand You're gonna have dark days,
Speaker 2: but you can make it through it because those dark
Speaker 2: days can make you strong if you allow it, if
Speaker 2: you not just look at the harshness, the negativity, but
Speaker 2: look at the big picture.
Speaker 1: Look at the big picture.
Speaker 2: Like with my mom, I could have I could have broke,
Speaker 2: but I thank God for allowing me four months being
Speaker 2: two hours away, four months. I thank God forgiving me
Speaker 2: all the years that he gave me with her as
Speaker 2: my mother, the good and the bad, because she was
Speaker 2: something else. She was the best mom ever. But old
Speaker 2: babies she did not play. Nobody messed with my mom.
Speaker 2: And I'm not even just saying that I can I
Speaker 2: can name hundreds of people who would tell you she
Speaker 2: was just that type of forrce loving us ever. But
Speaker 2: she just wasn't the person to play with. But God
Speaker 2: got me through it, still carrying me through it because
Speaker 2: I lean and depending on Him, No one nothing. See,
Speaker 2: God is gonna take a lot of our loved ones
Speaker 2: away unexpectedly. She's my mom wasn't the first, but that
Speaker 2: she was the closest. I mean, something really ripped from me.
Speaker 2: He's gonna take our loved ones away unexpectedly, swiftly. But
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if you're sould out, if you wrap up,
Speaker 2: wrapped up and tied up in God.
Speaker 1: You can endure. You will make it through. You will
Speaker 1: be stronger than before.
Speaker 2: But see, people get lost in the emotions and their
Speaker 2: feelings and their thoughts. They get lost in those things
Speaker 2: and it causes chaos in their lives. They become depressed,
Speaker 2: full of anxiety, hateful, mean, mad, angry because they have
Speaker 2: lost focus.
Speaker 1: Or they never had it. That's why I tell you
Speaker 1: you must have those roots. You must us have those roots.
Speaker 2: That way when the storm comes and the wind blows,
Speaker 2: it could blow hard as if won. You may sway
Speaker 2: to the left and right, but you.
Speaker 1: Will not fall. You will not be uprooted.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you I've been through the fire many times,
Speaker 2: many times. And the more you believe in the mindset
Speaker 2: of love and being sold out, the stronger you become.
Speaker 1: People look at you. I'm seriously, seriously, people look at
Speaker 1: you like, what is wrong with her? How is she
Speaker 1: enduring this?
Speaker 2: Because my eyes is on God, because my focus is Jesus,
Speaker 2: because he is a mediator between us in God.
Speaker 1: That's how.
Speaker 2: When you focus on your family and your friends and
Speaker 2: other people and the tragedies that happened to them, you
Speaker 2: don't have your.
Speaker 1: Eyes on God. And when you.
Speaker 2: Don't have your eyes on God, then you pick up
Speaker 2: all the residuals of the world. The negativity, the w's mean,
Speaker 2: the hurt, the pain, the sorrow. You pick up all
Speaker 2: of that and you it's like you ingested inside of
Speaker 2: you and now you got these twirling thoughts, You have
Speaker 2: these negative feelings, you have all of these out of
Speaker 2: control emotions because you don't have focus. I'm telling you
Speaker 2: what I know now, what I heard I'm telling you
Speaker 2: what I know. If you say you love Jesus, if
Speaker 2: you say you love God, you will live for Jesus.
Speaker 2: You will live for God. God has to be first
Speaker 2: in your life.
Speaker 1: First, and you have to know.
Speaker 2: Trouble's gonna come, they're gonna go more, trouble's gonna come,
Speaker 2: They're gonna go.
Speaker 1: That's just life until we are dead and gone.
Speaker 2: The Bible tells us the race is not given to
Speaker 2: the swift nor the strong.
Speaker 1: But to the one who endures to the end.
Speaker 2: So that means you gotta hold on, hold out, never
Speaker 2: let go, never give up. And you have to get
Speaker 2: in your head. Bad things are gonna happen. Bad things
Speaker 2: happen to good people. Bad things happen to bad people.
Speaker 2: Unexpected happen to good people, unexpected happen to bad people.
Speaker 2: We're all going to have to bear crosses, not just
Speaker 2: one one after the other. Want you out of one,
Speaker 2: here comes another, out of one, here comes That's just.
Speaker 1: The way it is. But don't let it break you.
Speaker 1: Let it make you a stronger person.
Speaker 2: You could become so much stronger if you stay focused.
Speaker 2: When people are lost in their emotions and their feelings.
Speaker 1: And their thoughts. It leads to.
Speaker 2: Negativity, devastation, destruction, dysfunction because some people just can't get
Speaker 2: over things that happen to them.
Speaker 1: They cannot get over it.
Speaker 2: They succumb to anger, they succumb to fear, They succumb
Speaker 2: to a phobius, they succumb to to hate, They succumb
Speaker 2: to demons, they succumb to insecurities, they succumb to all
Speaker 2: negative darkness, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, all.
Speaker 1: Kinds of things.
Speaker 2: Because people lose focus or they never had focus in
Speaker 2: the first place. It's easy for a broken person who's
Speaker 2: going through something to become even more broken. I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: if you want to be a strong person in Christ,
Speaker 2: you have to learn from your experiences.
Speaker 1: You have to grow from your experiences.
Speaker 2: You cannot remain the same, keep breaking down, fallowing apart,
Speaker 2: and all.
Speaker 1: Of those negative things. If you think you're gonna become stronger.
Speaker 2: You gotta stop falling and fainting and start to stand.
Speaker 2: Because that's who God is. He's our strength, he's our
Speaker 2: strong power. We as human beings, must know, without a
Speaker 2: shadow of a doubt, unexpected things are gonna happen because
Speaker 2: they are they are They're gonna happen, devaststating unexpected things.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying people don't feel it. You're going
Speaker 2: to feel it your flesh and blood. But it should
Speaker 2: not dictate the rest of your life. It should not
Speaker 2: ruin you. It should not break you so bad that
Speaker 2: you can't function. That's all I'm saying. Because no one
Speaker 2: is exempt, No one is exempt, no one. We are
Speaker 2: gonna go through something so traumatic.
Speaker 1: More than once.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go through, and you just gotta know it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. You don't know what's gonna happen, when
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen, but you know
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. That's the mindset you have. You have
Speaker 2: to have to make it through these things. You're gonna
Speaker 2: feel it, but you're gonna also keep it moving. You
Speaker 2: don't get lost in the feelings and emotions and thoughts.
Speaker 2: That's why so many people have done such devastating things,
Speaker 2: because when you give power to your thoughts, here comes
Speaker 2: the feelings behind those thoughts, here comes the emotions behind
Speaker 2: those thoughts.
Speaker 1: Until you act out.
Speaker 2: You act out because you've given so much power to
Speaker 2: that negativity.
Speaker 1: You succumb to it, and this is what happened a lot.
Speaker 2: Of times when people go through traumatic situations. But if
Speaker 2: you love God, you got to keep your eyes on
Speaker 2: him period.
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying how a person should grieve, none of that.
Speaker 1: Because that's not my place.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying any person who allow what they've gone
Speaker 2: through to dictate the rest of their life.
Speaker 1: To ruin them, to break.
Speaker 2: Them, your eyes.
Speaker 1: Was on the wrong thing.
Speaker 2: You allowed your feelings, emotion and thoughts to control you.
Speaker 2: And when you are controlled by those things, it leads
Speaker 2: you down a rabbit hole, it leads.
Speaker 1: You into darkness. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: If anyone listening to me you're going through and you
Speaker 2: need someone to talk to, please reach out to me.
Speaker 2: Don't hesitate. I will respond much love to each and
Speaker 2: every one of you.
Speaker 1: Please share this. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 2: I end every episode the same, and I pray
Speaker 1: To God in Jesus' name that you do it, think
Speaker 1: on it.
