[00:00:50] I think we got it right. So, welcome to the party, guys. Welcome to the party. I am your host, Victoria J. For those of you that are new to the show, we are not new to this. We are true to this. We've been around going on about three years right now.

[00:04:35] And this is a daily dose. And we do a reading of God's word, Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Yes, we're here on a Tuesday. Your girl had a long, long weekend. And I tried to get on yesterday.

[00:04:49] And I told you guys that follow the show that I had started using Zoom. I wanted to try them out. A friend had recommended them to me. And Zoom and me, we haven't become friends yet.

[00:05:05] We have not become friends yet, simply because there's some things that I'm accustomed to over here on this platform, StreamYard. But I'm the type of person that I don't give up. I don't give up very easily. So, I've still been playing with it.

[00:05:28] And I went to jump on yesterday. And it just kept spinning, spinning, spinning. And I said, you know what, Lord? It is late in the afternoon. It was about something to two. And I hadn't got it out. But God has been working with your girl on that because I got my hands in a lot of cookie jars. And I think I'm going to have to, although I don't want to, I think I'm going to have to go back to pre-recording.

[00:05:56] And I miss pre-recording. I miss doing it on audio because I used to be able to put my 30-second clips of music on there. And that gospel music, just any of you guys know when you're walking with God and you just, whether you're having a good day or a bad day, gospel music can just bless your soul.

[00:06:24] And when I started my show off with that gospel music, it just kept me on cruise control, I would say. But I wouldn't necessarily say to have gospel music just lift your spirit.

[00:06:39] Because I have learned how to pray and worship God without any music at all.

[00:06:46] So, but I do miss that part. But I may have to go on back over. And I may have to start pre-recording them to get them out on time.

[00:06:56] I love being live. I love being able to interact with you guys as you're putting things down in the comments.

[00:07:03] But this may be God's will for my life right now. I got school. I'm actively looking for a job.

[00:07:11] Y'all, you guys pray my strength that I am able to, I'm able to find that job and do what God needs me to do.

[00:07:22] Let my light shine wherever I go and be a helpmate to my husband.

[00:07:27] We all know things are getting tight out here.

[00:07:31] And it's time for your girl to get back out here in the work for, for sin, even if it's something part-time.

[00:07:38] And lend a helping hand to her hubby.

[00:07:41] But with that being said, guys, don't be disappointed if I have to definitely go to some pre-records.

[00:07:50] Like I said, even though I like the live stream, I may just have to start pre-recording some of the show.

[00:07:59] But let's get to it. Let's get to it.

[00:08:02] We left off last weekend. I didn't get back to you guys on Friday.

[00:08:09] Fridays, we usually have Freedom Fridays and Friends.

[00:08:12] I told you guys earlier that I was trying to slow down on the gas, come into the show just for this season in my life.

[00:08:22] Trying to bring everything back to the way that it needs to be and get my format back, get some order.

[00:08:32] God said do everything in decency and order.

[00:08:35] And I got to tell you guys, I ain't got no order.

[00:08:38] I don't have any order. I ain't got, I don't have any order.

[00:08:42] So I'm trying to bring, restore some order to my world of chaos.

[00:08:47] But long as God is with me, as long as he's for me, who else can be against me?

[00:08:54] So guys, let's jump into this world today.

[00:08:56] For those of you that have just joined the show and you are new to my program, we turned the cameras off for the reading of God's word.

[00:09:05] We're over in Judges chapter 11 on this day.

[00:09:11] And we got out of Judges chapter 10 on last Wednesday.

[00:09:17] And the children of Israel has cried out to God.

[00:09:22] And not only have they cried out to God, God has reached back and he has told them about all the wonderful things that he has done for them.

[00:09:34] They also have stretched out their hand.

[00:09:39] And they decided to put away from among them the gods that they were praying to.

[00:09:49] They had started praying to the God of Balaam, Balaam, no Balaam, I believe it is.

[00:09:57] My mom, get your mind right, girl.

[00:09:59] Get your mind right.

[00:10:00] Get into the game.

[00:10:02] Thank you, Lord.

[00:10:03] Thank you, Lord.

[00:10:04] But so we have Jeth-Fat that comes on the scene.

[00:10:12] He's a mighty man of valor.

[00:10:16] He's a son of a harlot.

[00:10:18] And they have kicked him out the lands in which he dwelt.

[00:10:24] He is a part of the family.

[00:10:27] But because of by way, and this is just my own words from how he was born through the woman of a harlot.

[00:10:42] The children, they didn't want him to have any of the inheritance.

[00:10:48] So they kicked him out.

[00:10:51] And Jeth-Fat, Jeth-Fat, he's gone his way.

[00:10:56] He's been hooked up with some other inhabitants over in Gilead.

[00:11:04] And he's fighting.

[00:11:06] He's a fighter.

[00:11:07] He fights among the children of Ammon.

[00:11:15] He does what he does to survive.

[00:11:20] But the elders of Gilead, they said to him, they wanted him to be a witness.

[00:11:32] They wanted him to be a witness.

[00:11:35] They've come to him and asked him.

[00:11:41] And he's like, you sure you want me to come back?

[00:11:46] Because after all, didn't y'all kick me out?

[00:11:53] Didn't y'all tell me to leave my land?

[00:11:59] But he said, of course, I'll come back.

[00:12:05] But he gave them some conditions.

[00:12:10] So as we get over into chapter 11, we're going to find out exactly what's going on right now with the children of Israel.

[00:12:24] So Judges chapter 11, I am reading out of my King James version today.

[00:12:33] Holy Spirit, have your way.

[00:12:34] Come on in the room.

[00:12:35] Let us have ears to hear.

[00:12:38] Let me see it just the way you gave it to me.

[00:12:45] Now, Jeth-Fat, the Gileadite, was a mighty man of valor.

[00:12:48] And he was the son of a harlot.

[00:12:52] And Gilead, beget Jeth-Fat.

[00:12:57] And his wife bared him song, and his wife's sons grew up.

[00:13:01] And they thrust out Jeth-Fat and said unto him,

[00:13:05] Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house, for thou art the son of a strange woman.

[00:13:11] Then Jeth-Fat fled from his brethren and dwelt in the land of Tob.

[00:13:16] And there he gathered vain men to Jeth-Fat and went out with him.

[00:13:20] And it came to pass that in the process of time that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

[00:13:26] And it was so that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel,

[00:13:31] the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jeth-Fat out of the land of Tob.

[00:13:38] And they said unto Jeth-Fat, Come and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

[00:13:45] And Jeth-Fat said unto the elders of Gilead,

[00:13:51] Why do I keep getting that wrong?

[00:13:53] Did you not hate me and expel me out of my father's house?

[00:14:01] Why have you come unto me now when you are in distress?

[00:14:08] And the leaders of Gilead said unto Jeth-Fat,

[00:14:14] Therefore we turn again to thee now that thou mayest go with us and fight against the children of Ammon

[00:14:22] and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

[00:14:27] And Jeth-Fat said unto the elders of Gilead,

[00:14:31] If you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon,

[00:14:35] and the Lord deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

[00:14:40] And the elders of Gilead said unto Jeth-Fat,

[00:14:44] The Lord be witness between us if we do not do so according to thy word.

[00:14:50] Then Jeth-Fat went unto the elders of Gilead,

[00:14:54] And the people made him head and captain over them.

[00:15:00] And Jeth-Fat uttered all his words before the land of Mizpah.

[00:15:04] And Jeth-Fat sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon,

[00:15:09] saying,

[00:15:10] What hast thou to do with me that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

[00:15:17] And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jeth-Fat,

[00:15:23] Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt,

[00:15:28] from Aranon, even into Jabba, and into the Jordan.

[00:15:35] And thou therefore restore those lands again peacefully.

[00:15:40] And Jeth-Fat sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon.

[00:15:45] And he said unto him,

[00:15:46] Thus says Jeth-Fat Israel took not away the land of Moab,

[00:15:51] nor the land of the children of Ammon.

[00:15:54] But when Israel came up from Egypt,

[00:15:56] and walked through the wilderness into the Red Sea,

[00:16:00] and came to Kadesh,

[00:16:03] then the Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom,

[00:16:07] saying,

[00:16:08] Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land.

[00:16:11] But the king of Edom would not hearken thereto.

[00:16:16] And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab,

[00:16:19] but he would not consent in Israel abode in Kadesh.

[00:16:26] Then they went along the wilderness and encompassed the land of Edom,

[00:16:33] and the land of Moab,

[00:16:34] and came by the east side of the land of Moab,

[00:16:38] and pitched on the other side of Aranon,

[00:16:42] but came not into the border of Moab,

[00:16:44] for Aranon was the border of Moab.

[00:16:48] And Israel sent messengers unto Sion,

[00:16:52] the king of the Amorites,

[00:16:55] and the king of Heshbon,

[00:16:57] and Israel,

[00:16:58] and said unto him,

[00:16:59] Let us pass, we pray thee,

[00:17:02] through thy lands into my place.

[00:17:07] But Sion trusted not Israel

[00:17:10] to pass through his coast,

[00:17:12] but Sion gathered all his people together,

[00:17:15] and pitched in Jaiad,

[00:17:18] and fought against Israel.

[00:17:21] And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sion,

[00:17:25] and all his people into the hands of Israel,

[00:17:27] and they smote them,

[00:17:29] so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites,

[00:17:34] and the inhabitants of that country.

[00:17:37] And they possessed all the coast of the Amorites,

[00:17:41] from Aranon even unto Jabbok,

[00:17:44] and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.

[00:17:47] So now the Lord God of Israel

[00:17:52] has depossessed the Amorites

[00:17:55] from before his people Israel.

[00:17:59] And should thou possess it?

[00:18:03] Will not thou possess that

[00:18:05] which Kishemosh,

[00:18:09] thy God giveth thee to possess?

[00:18:14] So whomever the Lord our God

[00:18:16] shall drive out from before us,

[00:18:19] them will we possess.

[00:18:21] And now art there anything better than Balak,

[00:18:25] the son of Zippor,

[00:18:27] king of Moab?

[00:18:28] Did he ever strive against Israel,

[00:18:31] or did he ever fight against them?

[00:18:34] Why Israel dwelt in Heshbon,

[00:18:38] and over her towns,

[00:18:41] in Aorah,

[00:18:42] and in her towns,

[00:18:44] and in all the cities

[00:18:45] that be along the coast of Aranon,

[00:18:48] 300 years?

[00:18:51] Why therefore

[00:18:51] did ye not recover them

[00:18:54] within that time?

[00:18:57] Where therefore I have not sinned

[00:18:59] against thee,

[00:19:00] but thou doest me wrong

[00:19:03] to go a war against me.

[00:19:06] The Lord,

[00:19:07] the judge,

[00:19:08] be judged this day

[00:19:09] between the children of Israel

[00:19:11] and between the children

[00:19:13] of Amon.

[00:19:16] How about

[00:19:17] the king

[00:19:18] of the children

[00:19:19] of Amon

[00:19:20] hearken not

[00:19:21] unto the words of Jephah,

[00:19:23] which he sent?

[00:19:25] Then the spirit of the Lord

[00:19:27] came upon Jephah,

[00:19:28] and he passed over Gilead

[00:19:30] and Manasseh,

[00:19:32] and passed over Mishpah

[00:19:33] of Gilead,

[00:19:35] and from Mishpah

[00:19:37] of Gilead

[00:19:38] he passed

[00:19:39] over unto the children

[00:19:41] of Amon.

[00:19:42] And Jephah bowed

[00:19:44] a vow unto the Lord,

[00:19:46] and said,

[00:19:47] If thou shalt

[00:19:48] without fail

[00:19:49] deliver the children

[00:19:50] of Amon

[00:19:51] into my hands,

[00:19:52] then it shall be

[00:19:55] that whoever cometh forth

[00:19:57] out of the door

[00:19:58] of my house

[00:19:58] to meet me,

[00:19:59] when I return in peace

[00:20:01] from the children

[00:20:02] of Amon

[00:20:03] shall surely be

[00:20:04] the Lord's,

[00:20:06] and I will offer it up

[00:20:08] a burnt offering.

[00:20:10] So Jephah passed over

[00:20:12] unto the children

[00:20:13] of Amon

[00:20:14] to fight against them,

[00:20:16] and the Lord

[00:20:17] delivered them

[00:20:18] into his hands.

[00:20:20] And he smote them

[00:20:22] from Aor

[00:20:23] even till thou

[00:20:25] come to Menneth,

[00:20:28] even twenty cities,

[00:20:29] twenty cities,

[00:20:31] and unto the plains

[00:20:32] of the vineyards

[00:20:33] with a great slaughter.

[00:20:36] Thus the children

[00:20:37] of Amon

[00:20:38] were subdued

[00:20:39] before the children

[00:20:40] of Israel.

[00:20:42] And Jephah

[00:20:43] came to Mishpah

[00:20:44] and to his house,

[00:20:46] and behold,

[00:20:47] his daughter

[00:20:48] came out

[00:20:49] to meet him

[00:20:50] with tambourines

[00:20:51] and with dance.

[00:20:53] And she was

[00:20:54] his only child.

[00:20:56] Besides her,

[00:20:57] he had neither son

[00:20:59] nor daughter.

[00:21:00] And it came to pass

[00:21:02] when he saw her

[00:21:03] that he rent

[00:21:04] his clothes

[00:21:05] and said,

[00:21:06] Alas,

[00:21:07] my daughter,

[00:21:09] thou hast brought

[00:21:10] me very low,

[00:21:11] and there are one

[00:21:12] of them

[00:21:12] that trouble me,

[00:21:14] for I have opened

[00:21:15] my mouth

[00:21:15] unto the Lord,

[00:21:16] and I cannot go back.

[00:21:18] And she said

[00:21:19] unto him,

[00:21:20] My father,

[00:21:21] if thou hast

[00:21:21] opened thy mouth

[00:21:23] unto the Lord,

[00:21:25] do to me

[00:21:27] according to which

[00:21:28] thou hast proceed

[00:21:30] out of thy mouth.

[00:21:32] For as much

[00:21:33] as the Lord

[00:21:33] has taken vengeance

[00:21:35] for thee

[00:21:36] of thy enemies,

[00:21:37] even of the children

[00:21:39] of Amon.

[00:21:40] And she said

[00:21:41] unto her,

[00:21:42] Father,

[00:21:42] let this thing

[00:21:43] be done unto me.

[00:21:44] Let me alone

[00:21:45] two months

[00:21:46] that I may go up

[00:21:47] and down

[00:21:49] upon the mountain

[00:21:50] and bewail

[00:21:51] my virginity,

[00:21:53] I and my fellows.

[00:21:55] And he said,

[00:21:56] Go.

[00:21:57] And he sent her away

[00:21:59] for two months,

[00:22:00] and she went

[00:22:01] with her companions

[00:22:02] and bewailed

[00:22:03] her virginity

[00:22:04] upon the mountains.

[00:22:05] And it came to pass

[00:22:07] at the end

[00:22:08] of the two months

[00:22:08] that she returned

[00:22:10] unto her father

[00:22:11] who did with her

[00:22:13] according to his vow,

[00:22:15] which he had vowed,

[00:22:16] and she knew no man.

[00:22:18] And it was

[00:22:20] a custom

[00:22:20] in Israel

[00:22:22] that the daughters

[00:22:24] of Israel

[00:22:25] went yearly

[00:22:26] to Lament,

[00:22:28] the daughter

[00:22:29] of Jesaphat,

[00:22:30] the Gilead night,

[00:22:32] four days

[00:22:33] in a year.

[00:22:35] And that was Judges

[00:22:37] chapter 11.

[00:22:41] Well,

[00:22:42] well,

[00:22:43] well,

[00:22:44] well,

[00:22:47] I think the best

[00:22:48] thing that I could

[00:22:49] say that I got

[00:22:51] out of this

[00:22:52] as it applies

[00:22:53] to my life

[00:22:54] is

[00:22:57] the fact

[00:22:58] that

[00:22:59] we are

[00:23:00] to

[00:23:02] let

[00:23:03] let ourselves

[00:23:10] not be deceived

[00:23:14] into thinking

[00:23:17] that

[00:23:18] we can make

[00:23:20] God promises.

[00:23:29] We've got

[00:23:30] to be reminded

[00:23:32] of the things

[00:23:33] that we say

[00:23:34] to God.

[00:23:35] And as

[00:23:37] I began

[00:23:37] to meditate

[00:23:38] on this,

[00:23:42] when I read it,

[00:23:43] I read it last week,

[00:23:44] I thought about

[00:23:49] all the promises

[00:23:50] that I had made

[00:23:55] myself

[00:23:56] unto God.

[00:23:58] I thought

[00:23:59] about

[00:24:01] in my

[00:24:02] ignorance

[00:24:03] all the promises

[00:24:08] that I had

[00:24:10] made from

[00:24:10] a young child

[00:24:11] all the way

[00:24:13] to,

[00:24:17] should I say,

[00:24:19] my adulthood.

[00:24:20] It wasn't

[00:24:22] until

[00:24:22] I started

[00:24:23] getting into

[00:24:23] God's word

[00:24:24] that I

[00:24:28] finally

[00:24:29] realized

[00:24:30] as I grew

[00:24:31] in his

[00:24:32] word

[00:24:34] that it's

[00:24:35] better

[00:24:35] not to

[00:24:36] make a

[00:24:36] promise

[00:24:38] at all

[00:24:41] because we're

[00:24:42] all fallible.

[00:24:46] Jephthah,

[00:24:48] a mighty

[00:24:49] man of

[00:24:49] valor,

[00:24:50] son of

[00:24:51] a harlot,

[00:24:53] son of

[00:24:53] a strange

[00:24:53] woman,

[00:24:56] he was

[00:24:57] kicked from

[00:24:58] his home

[00:24:58] by his

[00:24:59] brothers.

[00:25:01] And if

[00:25:01] we really

[00:25:02] wanted to

[00:25:02] put

[00:25:04] a tailspin

[00:25:05] on that,

[00:25:08] we could

[00:25:08] say,

[00:25:11] we've

[00:25:11] all

[00:25:12] been

[00:25:13] there.

[00:25:14] We've

[00:25:15] all

[00:25:15] been in

[00:25:16] a situation

[00:25:17] where

[00:25:18] we feel

[00:25:19] like we

[00:25:19] didn't have

[00:25:20] the support

[00:25:21] of our

[00:25:21] family,

[00:25:26] friends.

[00:25:28] We can

[00:25:29] even talk

[00:25:29] about it

[00:25:29] from a

[00:25:30] marriage

[00:25:30] standpoint.

[00:25:32] Not

[00:25:32] feeling

[00:25:33] like that

[00:25:33] you got

[00:25:33] the support

[00:25:34] from

[00:25:35] your

[00:25:35] spouse.

[00:25:36] Maybe

[00:25:37] in a

[00:25:37] dead

[00:25:37] relationship

[00:25:38] and you

[00:25:39] could be

[00:25:39] in a

[00:25:39] dead

[00:25:39] relationship

[00:25:40] with your

[00:25:41] spouse.

[00:25:42] You could

[00:25:42] be in

[00:25:43] a dead

[00:25:43] relationship

[00:25:44] with your

[00:25:45] family members,

[00:25:46] friends.

[00:25:47] Some of

[00:25:48] us stay

[00:25:49] in relationships

[00:25:49] far too

[00:25:50] long because

[00:25:51] we're lonely.

[00:25:53] But in

[00:25:53] this case,

[00:25:54] his brothers

[00:25:55] kicked him

[00:25:56] out.

[00:26:01] How do

[00:26:02] we get

[00:26:02] kicked out

[00:26:03] of stuff

[00:26:03] because we're

[00:26:03] different?

[00:26:07] That was

[00:26:07] the exact

[00:26:08] point here.

[00:26:15] I was

[00:26:16] quickly

[00:26:16] reminded

[00:26:18] as I

[00:26:18] was in

[00:26:19] my studies

[00:26:19] and for

[00:26:20] those of

[00:26:21] you know

[00:26:21] me,

[00:26:22] I go

[00:26:22] on over

[00:26:22] to my

[00:26:23] Matthew

[00:26:23] Henry or

[00:26:24] I go

[00:26:24] on over

[00:26:25] to my

[00:26:26] Tony

[00:26:26] Evans.

[00:26:27] I'll see

[00:26:27] their thoughts

[00:26:27] and then

[00:26:28] I'll start

[00:26:29] to meditate

[00:26:29] on it

[00:26:30] for myself.

[00:26:34] And one

[00:26:35] note that

[00:26:36] I wrote

[00:26:37] down was

[00:26:37] God often

[00:26:38] humbles

[00:26:39] those

[00:26:41] who he's

[00:26:42] going to

[00:26:42] exalt.

[00:26:47] He often

[00:26:51] cover us,

[00:26:52] hide us

[00:26:53] in his

[00:26:54] bosom.

[00:26:54] I feel

[00:26:59] like that's

[00:26:59] what he's

[00:27:00] doing in

[00:27:01] my life

[00:27:02] because I

[00:27:02] don't always

[00:27:03] exactly get

[00:27:04] it right.

[00:27:05] And I was

[00:27:05] just telling

[00:27:05] my sister

[00:27:06] yesterday

[00:27:11] the things

[00:27:12] that God

[00:27:13] has me

[00:27:14] doing in

[00:27:15] my life

[00:27:15] at this

[00:27:16] time,

[00:27:16] I sometimes

[00:27:17] don't even

[00:27:17] feel qualified

[00:27:19] to do

[00:27:20] them.

[00:27:23] And every

[00:27:24] time I go

[00:27:25] into prayer,

[00:27:27] every time

[00:27:28] I decide

[00:27:31] that this

[00:27:32] is something

[00:27:32] that I

[00:27:34] may want

[00:27:35] to step

[00:27:35] away from,

[00:27:38] God

[00:27:39] will come

[00:27:39] right

[00:27:39] alone

[00:27:41] and he'll

[00:27:42] show it

[00:27:43] to me

[00:27:43] in his

[00:27:43] word.

[00:27:45] My mind

[00:27:46] could be

[00:27:47] far from

[00:27:47] reading that

[00:27:48] passage

[00:27:49] that day

[00:27:52] and something

[00:27:53] will drop

[00:27:53] in my

[00:27:54] spirit,

[00:27:54] the Holy

[00:27:54] Spirit

[00:27:55] will quicken

[00:27:56] me and

[00:27:56] say,

[00:27:57] go on

[00:27:58] over here

[00:28:00] to Matthew

[00:28:03] or Joel

[00:28:07] or some

[00:28:08] place that

[00:28:08] I'm not

[00:28:09] in,

[00:28:11] in the

[00:28:11] reading of

[00:28:12] the Bible

[00:28:12] study.

[00:28:13] And I

[00:28:14] know that

[00:28:15] that'll be

[00:28:15] for me

[00:28:18] personally

[00:28:19] or someone

[00:28:22] will come up

[00:28:22] out of the

[00:28:22] blue and

[00:28:26] they'll start

[00:28:26] talking about

[00:28:27] the very

[00:28:28] thing that I

[00:28:30] was meditating

[00:28:31] on, that I

[00:28:32] was questioning

[00:28:32] being myself

[00:28:34] on and God

[00:28:41] will remind me

[00:28:41] of his

[00:28:42] words.

[00:28:44] That the

[00:28:45] who I

[00:28:46] called,

[00:28:47] I justified,

[00:28:49] who I

[00:28:49] justified,

[00:28:50] I glorified.

[00:28:51] And sometimes

[00:28:52] we can feel

[00:28:53] inadequate in

[00:28:54] situations that

[00:28:55] God calls us

[00:28:56] to.

[00:28:57] Look at

[00:28:57] Joseph,

[00:28:58] look at

[00:28:59] Moses,

[00:29:00] look at

[00:29:00] David.

[00:29:02] as they

[00:29:02] rode for

[00:29:03] God,

[00:29:04] their paths

[00:29:04] wasn't easy.

[00:29:06] And I have

[00:29:07] to constantly

[00:29:08] remind myself

[00:29:09] of that.

[00:29:10] But I also

[00:29:11] have to

[00:29:12] constantly

[00:29:12] remind myself

[00:29:13] that God

[00:29:14] cleaned me

[00:29:14] up in

[00:29:15] such a

[00:29:16] way that

[00:29:18] all glory

[00:29:18] belongs to

[00:29:20] him.

[00:29:22] He left

[00:29:23] me behind

[00:29:24] stutter.

[00:29:24] I get

[00:29:25] really,

[00:29:25] really tongue

[00:29:27] tied in my

[00:29:28] words when

[00:29:29] I'm trying to

[00:29:29] speak.

[00:29:30] speak.

[00:29:31] And the

[00:29:32] funny thing

[00:29:32] about it

[00:29:33] is people

[00:29:34] keep asking

[00:29:34] me to

[00:29:36] speak places.

[00:29:39] And I

[00:29:39] had to

[00:29:40] cast out

[00:29:43] that spirit

[00:29:44] of fear

[00:29:46] and be

[00:29:46] bold

[00:29:48] and do

[00:29:49] it anyway.

[00:29:50] I had to

[00:29:51] have that

[00:29:52] conversation

[00:29:52] with myself.

[00:29:56] No matter

[00:29:56] how many

[00:29:57] times you

[00:29:57] stumble,

[00:29:58] no matter

[00:29:58] how many

[00:29:59] times you

[00:29:59] make a

[00:30:00] mistake,

[00:30:00] move forward.

[00:30:02] Don't say

[00:30:03] stuck in

[00:30:04] that mistake.

[00:30:04] Whether you

[00:30:05] mispronounce

[00:30:06] a word,

[00:30:07] whether you

[00:30:08] totally forget

[00:30:08] your speech,

[00:30:12] move forward,

[00:30:13] push forward.

[00:30:14] And this is

[00:30:15] what we

[00:30:17] saw Jeff

[00:30:17] that do.

[00:30:18] He went

[00:30:18] on.

[00:30:20] Yeah,

[00:30:21] he might have

[00:30:21] got around

[00:30:22] a rowdy

[00:30:23] bunch,

[00:30:25] but look

[00:30:26] how everything

[00:30:27] comes back

[00:30:28] into fold.

[00:30:31] But then

[00:30:32] we get

[00:30:33] snared

[00:30:34] by the words

[00:30:35] of our

[00:30:35] mouth

[00:30:36] mouth.

[00:30:37] Because he

[00:30:37] made a

[00:30:38] promise

[00:30:40] that he

[00:30:40] didn't want

[00:30:41] to fulfill.

[00:30:42] Who knew

[00:30:43] that his

[00:30:43] daughter was

[00:30:44] going to be

[00:30:44] the one

[00:30:46] to be the

[00:30:47] first one

[00:30:48] to come

[00:30:48] out of

[00:30:50] those doors,

[00:30:52] excited

[00:30:53] as we all

[00:30:54] would be

[00:30:54] to see a

[00:30:55] loved one.

[00:30:57] joyful.

[00:31:00] But he

[00:31:01] had to

[00:31:03] tell her,

[00:31:04] I made

[00:31:04] God a

[00:31:05] promise

[00:31:05] in my

[00:31:06] hastiness

[00:31:10] that

[00:31:11] probably

[00:31:12] killed

[00:31:12] his soul

[00:31:13] to have

[00:31:14] to fulfill.

[00:31:15] How many

[00:31:16] of us

[00:31:17] have done

[00:31:18] just that?

[00:31:19] I know

[00:31:19] I have.

[00:31:19] I can raise

[00:31:20] my hand

[00:31:21] to that.

[00:31:24] I said,

[00:31:25] Lord,

[00:31:26] as I was

[00:31:27] reading this

[00:31:27] passage,

[00:31:28] I thought

[00:31:29] about from

[00:31:29] the time

[00:31:30] I was a

[00:31:30] child

[00:31:31] all the

[00:31:31] way up

[00:31:32] until he

[00:31:33] started

[00:31:33] spiritually

[00:31:34] feeding me

[00:31:35] about all

[00:31:37] the promises

[00:31:38] that I

[00:31:38] had made,

[00:31:39] God,

[00:31:39] if you

[00:31:40] get me

[00:31:40] out of

[00:31:41] this one.

[00:31:45] And God

[00:31:45] said in

[00:31:46] his word

[00:31:46] that we

[00:31:47] be judged

[00:31:47] by our

[00:31:47] words,

[00:31:48] not just

[00:31:49] our actions.

[00:31:52] My prayer,

[00:31:55] I said,

[00:31:55] Lord,

[00:31:57] I hope

[00:31:58] that we

[00:31:59] can blame

[00:32:00] it on my

[00:32:02] immature

[00:32:05] spirituality

[00:32:07] because when

[00:32:08] I was making

[00:32:08] those promises,

[00:32:09] I didn't

[00:32:10] know half

[00:32:11] of what

[00:32:14] I know

[00:32:14] now about

[00:32:16] our Lord

[00:32:16] and Savior

[00:32:17] Jesus Christ.

[00:32:18] But I

[00:32:19] was still

[00:32:21] making

[00:32:21] promise.

[00:32:22] I knew

[00:32:22] of the

[00:32:23] Lord,

[00:32:25] but I

[00:32:26] didn't

[00:32:27] know him,

[00:32:28] know him.

[00:32:28] I wasn't

[00:32:29] reading his

[00:32:31] word,

[00:32:32] making him

[00:32:32] my best

[00:32:33] friend.

[00:32:33] I wasn't

[00:32:34] even saved.

[00:32:36] But as

[00:32:37] for most

[00:32:37] of us,

[00:32:40] we know

[00:32:40] there's

[00:32:41] a God

[00:32:42] up in

[00:32:42] heaven.

[00:32:45] We know

[00:32:45] this to

[00:32:46] be true.

[00:32:47] Most of

[00:32:48] us was

[00:32:48] raised in

[00:32:49] a household

[00:32:49] that served

[00:32:51] the Lord.

[00:32:51] As for

[00:32:51] me and

[00:32:52] my house,

[00:32:52] we will

[00:32:53] serve the

[00:32:54] Lord.

[00:32:56] But the

[00:32:57] things that

[00:32:57] we say

[00:32:58] out of our

[00:32:58] mouth when

[00:33:00] we have

[00:33:00] no spiritual

[00:33:01] growth,

[00:33:05] here he

[00:33:06] made a

[00:33:06] promise to

[00:33:07] God,

[00:33:07] not knowing

[00:33:08] that his

[00:33:09] daughter was

[00:33:09] going to be

[00:33:09] the first

[00:33:10] one to

[00:33:11] open up

[00:33:12] that door.

[00:33:15] If I've

[00:33:16] learned

[00:33:16] anything from

[00:33:17] this passage,

[00:33:18] and for

[00:33:19] those of

[00:33:19] you that

[00:33:20] are new

[00:33:21] or will

[00:33:22] be watching

[00:33:22] the replay,

[00:33:25] when I

[00:33:26] read the

[00:33:26] word,

[00:33:27] I'm doing

[00:33:27] just what

[00:33:28] God laid

[00:33:28] in my

[00:33:29] heart to

[00:33:29] do,

[00:33:30] is to

[00:33:31] read his

[00:33:31] word and

[00:33:35] see how I

[00:33:35] can apply

[00:33:37] it to my

[00:33:37] life.

[00:33:40] And re-reading

[00:33:41] this, it

[00:33:42] reminded me,

[00:33:44] don't make

[00:33:45] promises that

[00:33:46] you can't

[00:33:46] keep, and

[00:33:47] certainly

[00:33:48] don't ask

[00:33:49] God for

[00:33:49] stuff that

[00:33:50] you cannot

[00:33:50] handle.

[00:33:54] Now, sometimes

[00:33:55] like he did

[00:33:56] with Moses,

[00:33:58] David,

[00:33:59] Abraham,

[00:34:01] that's just

[00:34:02] his will

[00:34:04] for our

[00:34:04] life.

[00:34:06] That's his

[00:34:07] gift to us

[00:34:08] to use us

[00:34:09] as his

[00:34:10] vessel.

[00:34:12] And we're

[00:34:13] going to have

[00:34:13] to do it

[00:34:14] whether we

[00:34:15] want to

[00:34:15] or not

[00:34:16] because he

[00:34:16] picked us,

[00:34:17] he chose

[00:34:17] you.

[00:34:19] The task

[00:34:20] may be

[00:34:20] hard, but

[00:34:22] as Jesus

[00:34:22] told his

[00:34:23] disciples,

[00:34:24] they persecute

[00:34:24] me, they're

[00:34:25] going to

[00:34:25] persecute you.

[00:34:26] They hated

[00:34:26] me, they're

[00:34:27] going to

[00:34:27] hate you.

[00:34:28] Sometimes I

[00:34:29] walk into

[00:34:30] rooms in

[00:34:31] situations I

[00:34:32] will say a

[00:34:32] yes to

[00:34:33] before I get

[00:34:34] to know that

[00:34:35] person and

[00:34:36] I find out

[00:34:37] that I

[00:34:37] probably

[00:34:38] shouldn't have

[00:34:38] said that

[00:34:39] yes.

[00:34:41] That's not

[00:34:42] my cup of

[00:34:42] tea, that's

[00:34:43] not my

[00:34:43] portion.

[00:34:45] And I've

[00:34:45] even tried

[00:34:47] many a

[00:34:47] times to say

[00:34:48] no to God.

[00:34:49] That's not

[00:34:50] my portion.

[00:34:52] God, I

[00:34:52] ain't doing

[00:34:53] that.

[00:34:56] And he'll

[00:34:56] yank me

[00:34:57] up, he'll

[00:34:57] yoke me

[00:34:57] up some

[00:34:58] kind of

[00:34:59] way.

[00:35:00] But this

[00:35:01] lesson right

[00:35:03] here that

[00:35:04] Jet Fat has

[00:35:05] just learned is

[00:35:07] don't make

[00:35:07] promises that

[00:35:08] you can't

[00:35:09] keep.

[00:35:10] The Bible

[00:35:10] tells us

[00:35:11] that we

[00:35:12] rather not

[00:35:12] make a

[00:35:12] promise at

[00:35:13] all than

[00:35:14] to make

[00:35:14] promises

[00:35:16] that we

[00:35:16] know we

[00:35:17] can't

[00:35:17] keep.

[00:35:18] Whether

[00:35:18] it's God,

[00:35:19] I'm going

[00:35:19] fast this

[00:35:20] week.

[00:35:21] And you

[00:35:22] break your

[00:35:22] fast.

[00:35:24] God, I'm

[00:35:25] going to

[00:35:25] start praying

[00:35:26] 3, 4 o'clock

[00:35:26] in the

[00:35:27] morning every

[00:35:27] single day.

[00:35:28] And you

[00:35:29] break that.

[00:35:31] God, if

[00:35:32] you get me

[00:35:32] out of this

[00:35:33] one, you

[00:35:34] get me

[00:35:35] through this

[00:35:35] court case,

[00:35:36] I ain't

[00:35:37] going to get

[00:35:37] in trouble

[00:35:37] again.

[00:35:38] And you

[00:35:38] break that

[00:35:39] one.

[00:35:40] God, if

[00:35:40] you pay my

[00:35:41] rent, I

[00:35:44] make sure

[00:35:44] I be

[00:35:47] financially

[00:35:48] aware next

[00:35:49] time.

[00:35:51] And you

[00:35:52] break that

[00:35:52] promise.

[00:35:54] But see,

[00:35:55] God never

[00:35:56] breaks his

[00:35:56] promises to

[00:35:57] us.

[00:35:59] So this

[00:36:00] reminded me

[00:36:01] that don't

[00:36:04] make promises

[00:36:05] you can't

[00:36:05] keep to the

[00:36:06] Lord.

[00:36:07] Because he

[00:36:07] expects you

[00:36:08] to follow

[00:36:08] through on

[00:36:09] that promise

[00:36:10] just like we

[00:36:11] expect him

[00:36:12] to follow

[00:36:13] through.

[00:36:21] But we

[00:36:22] got the

[00:36:22] goal to

[00:36:24] always

[00:36:24] constantly

[00:36:25] remind God

[00:36:26] of his

[00:36:27] words.

[00:36:29] But we

[00:36:30] don't never

[00:36:30] follow through

[00:36:31] on half of

[00:36:32] ours.

[00:36:34] Not until

[00:36:35] we become

[00:36:36] completely

[00:36:37] selfless.

[00:36:40] And we

[00:36:41] wrap

[00:36:41] ourselves up

[00:36:42] in him.

[00:36:43] Or try

[00:36:44] or strive.

[00:36:45] Because none

[00:36:45] of us have

[00:36:46] arrived.

[00:36:47] I don't

[00:36:47] care how

[00:36:48] much word

[00:36:48] you know.

[00:36:51] My grandmother

[00:36:52] used to say,

[00:36:53] you walk

[00:36:54] around with

[00:36:54] a mouth

[00:36:54] filled

[00:36:55] with

[00:36:55] scripture.

[00:36:57] But are

[00:36:58] you living

[00:36:58] it?

[00:36:59] Can you

[00:36:59] live it?

[00:37:01] While you

[00:37:02] condemning

[00:37:02] someone else?

[00:37:03] While you

[00:37:03] judging

[00:37:04] someone else?

[00:37:05] Can you

[00:37:06] live it?

[00:37:08] She had

[00:37:09] this saying

[00:37:09] if you

[00:37:10] point your

[00:37:11] index finger

[00:37:13] out at

[00:37:13] someone,

[00:37:14] you see

[00:37:14] that thumb?

[00:37:15] It's

[00:37:16] pointing right

[00:37:16] back at

[00:37:17] you.

[00:37:20] Stay out

[00:37:20] of judging

[00:37:21] people.

[00:37:22] Stay out

[00:37:22] of trying

[00:37:22] to condemn

[00:37:23] people.

[00:37:23] Stay out

[00:37:24] of trying

[00:37:24] to manipulate

[00:37:25] people.

[00:37:28] Strive

[00:37:29] for God.

[00:37:30] Have a

[00:37:31] heart

[00:37:31] for God.

[00:37:32] This is a

[00:37:33] heart thing,

[00:37:33] man.

[00:37:34] This ain't

[00:37:34] no, let

[00:37:36] me learn

[00:37:37] as much

[00:37:37] scripture

[00:37:37] as I

[00:37:38] know or

[00:37:39] as I

[00:37:40] can.

[00:37:41] Let me

[00:37:42] go and

[00:37:42] sit in

[00:37:43] church as

[00:37:45] much as

[00:37:45] I can.

[00:37:46] If God

[00:37:46] don't have

[00:37:47] your heart,

[00:37:47] he ain't

[00:37:48] got nothing

[00:37:48] of yours.

[00:37:51] So I'd

[00:37:52] rather be

[00:37:53] that person

[00:37:55] that can

[00:37:56] stumble

[00:37:57] and get

[00:37:58] back up

[00:37:58] and still

[00:37:59] have a

[00:38:00] heart

[00:38:00] for God

[00:38:02] than A,

[00:38:03] to make

[00:38:03] promises

[00:38:04] that I

[00:38:04] can't keep

[00:38:05] but try

[00:38:05] to hold

[00:38:06] God to

[00:38:06] his word,

[00:38:08] B,

[00:38:09] try to

[00:38:10] condemn

[00:38:10] or judge

[00:38:11] someone

[00:38:11] else,

[00:38:12] but I ain't

[00:38:13] condemning

[00:38:13] and judging

[00:38:14] myself.

[00:38:15] And God

[00:38:15] had to

[00:38:15] teach me

[00:38:15] that.

[00:38:17] Because when

[00:38:18] I first

[00:38:18] started running

[00:38:18] for Christ,

[00:38:19] I thought

[00:38:19] I knew

[00:38:19] it all.

[00:38:21] Getting

[00:38:21] into his

[00:38:22] word,

[00:38:22] I thought

[00:38:22] I knew

[00:38:23] it all

[00:38:23] and found

[00:38:23] out I

[00:38:24] ain't know

[00:38:24] nothing.

[00:38:25] I was

[00:38:26] judging

[00:38:26] people,

[00:38:28] running my

[00:38:29] mouth about

[00:38:29] things that

[00:38:30] I did,

[00:38:30] had no

[00:38:31] high idea

[00:38:33] what I

[00:38:33] was talking

[00:38:34] about.

[00:38:35] But when

[00:38:36] God started

[00:38:36] to turn

[00:38:37] that thing

[00:38:38] back around

[00:38:38] on me,

[00:38:40] because I

[00:38:40] became God

[00:38:41] conscious,

[00:38:42] because the

[00:38:42] Holy Spirit

[00:38:43] lives deep

[00:38:43] down in the

[00:38:44] inside of

[00:38:45] me,

[00:38:45] and he's

[00:38:45] going to

[00:38:46] check me

[00:38:47] when I'm

[00:38:48] right and

[00:38:49] when I'm

[00:38:49] wrong.

[00:38:52] God ain't

[00:38:52] going to let

[00:38:53] you deceive

[00:38:53] yourself into

[00:38:54] thinking that

[00:38:55] you are much

[00:38:57] more than

[00:38:58] what you

[00:38:59] really are.

[00:39:01] He says

[00:39:02] it in his

[00:39:02] word,

[00:39:03] don't fool

[00:39:03] yourself into

[00:39:04] thinking that

[00:39:05] you're more

[00:39:06] than who

[00:39:06] you are.

[00:39:08] And I'm

[00:39:09] just paraphrasing

[00:39:10] for all my

[00:39:10] Bible scholars

[00:39:11] out there.

[00:39:16] So making

[00:39:17] this promise

[00:39:18] is costing

[00:39:21] jet fat.

[00:39:24] It came

[00:39:25] with a

[00:39:25] cost.

[00:39:27] Remember

[00:39:28] that.

[00:39:30] I'd rather

[00:39:31] say,

[00:39:31] Heavenly

[00:39:32] Father,

[00:39:32] let your

[00:39:33] will be

[00:39:33] done.

[00:39:35] And I'll

[00:39:36] even throw

[00:39:36] in there,

[00:39:37] I might

[00:39:37] not like

[00:39:38] it,

[00:39:41] but Lord,

[00:39:41] let your

[00:39:41] will be

[00:39:42] done in

[00:39:42] my life.

[00:39:44] And I

[00:39:45] might stew

[00:39:45] a little

[00:39:46] bit,

[00:39:49] pout a

[00:39:50] little bit,

[00:39:51] but I

[00:39:52] know all

[00:39:52] things work

[00:39:52] together for

[00:39:53] his good.

[00:39:55] So guys,

[00:39:56] because we

[00:39:57] missed

[00:39:58] yesterday,

[00:40:00] fooling

[00:40:00] with

[00:40:02] Zoom,

[00:40:03] and I'm

[00:40:03] not going to

[00:40:03] completely get

[00:40:04] rid of Zoom

[00:40:05] because guys,

[00:40:05] like I

[00:40:05] said,

[00:40:06] I love

[00:40:07] a challenge.

[00:40:07] So this

[00:40:08] is going to

[00:40:08] challenge me

[00:40:09] to see if I

[00:40:09] can work

[00:40:10] everything out

[00:40:11] on there.

[00:40:11] But I

[00:40:13] went on

[00:40:13] back and

[00:40:13] picked

[00:40:14] StreamYard

[00:40:14] back up

[00:40:15] because I

[00:40:15] know what

[00:40:16] I'm doing

[00:40:16] over here.

[00:40:17] But since

[00:40:18] we missed

[00:40:18] yesterday,

[00:40:19] we're going

[00:40:19] to be back

[00:40:21] tomorrow,

[00:40:22] and we're

[00:40:23] going to be

[00:40:23] back on

[00:40:24] Thursday,

[00:40:24] and we're

[00:40:24] going to be

[00:40:25] back on

[00:40:25] Friday,

[00:40:26] doing our

[00:40:26] Freedom Fridays.

[00:40:28] Because look,

[00:40:29] God said,

[00:40:29] do everything

[00:40:30] in order

[00:40:30] and indecency.

[00:40:32] And although

[00:40:32] my plate is

[00:40:33] full,

[00:40:36] I got to

[00:40:37] get this

[00:40:37] back in

[00:40:38] order and

[00:40:39] indecency.

[00:40:39] Thank you

[00:40:40] guys for

[00:40:41] joining me

[00:40:41] today.

[00:40:42] If you

[00:40:43] missed the

[00:40:43] entire reading

[00:40:44] of God's

[00:40:45] word,

[00:40:46] if you

[00:40:46] missed

[00:40:47] Judges

[00:40:48] chapter 11,

[00:40:50] go back

[00:40:50] and read it

[00:40:51] for yourself.

[00:40:53] This is a

[00:40:54] good one

[00:40:54] to meditate

[00:40:55] on about

[00:40:57] making

[00:40:57] promises to

[00:40:58] God and

[00:40:59] even people

[00:41:00] that we

[00:41:01] can't keep.

[00:41:03] I know I

[00:41:04] read it

[00:41:04] somewhere.

[00:41:05] I think

[00:41:05] it's in

[00:41:05] Proverbs.

[00:41:06] I don't

[00:41:06] know the

[00:41:06] whole

[00:41:07] scripture,

[00:41:08] but he

[00:41:08] said,

[00:41:08] don't be

[00:41:08] surety for

[00:41:09] no one.

[00:41:10] He was

[00:41:10] talking about

[00:41:10] you know,

[00:41:11] co-signing

[00:41:12] for people

[00:41:14] credit wise,

[00:41:16] telling people

[00:41:17] you're going to

[00:41:18] do something

[00:41:18] and you don't

[00:41:19] follow through

[00:41:20] with it.

[00:41:22] Same thing

[00:41:23] with God.

[00:41:27] Lord,

[00:41:28] if you make

[00:41:28] me rich,

[00:41:29] I'm going

[00:41:30] to do this,

[00:41:30] this,

[00:41:31] and this.

[00:41:32] Are you

[00:41:33] really going

[00:41:33] to do

[00:41:34] what you

[00:41:34] promised God?

[00:41:35] And who

[00:41:36] are we?

[00:41:37] to hold

[00:41:38] God's to

[00:41:39] his promises,

[00:41:41] but we

[00:41:42] won't hold

[00:41:42] ourselves

[00:41:42] accountable

[00:41:43] for our

[00:41:44] promises to

[00:41:45] God.

[00:41:46] But thank

[00:41:47] God today

[00:41:47] that we

[00:41:48] serve a

[00:41:51] gracious

[00:41:51] God and

[00:41:53] that he is

[00:41:53] still sitting

[00:41:54] in the

[00:41:56] seat of

[00:41:57] mercy.

[00:41:59] And he's

[00:42:00] given us

[00:42:00] time to

[00:42:02] work this

[00:42:02] thing out.

[00:42:03] Peace and

[00:42:03] blessings to

[00:42:04] you all.

[00:42:05] until next

[00:42:06] time.

[00:42:08] If you

[00:42:09] can't do

[00:42:09] anything for

[00:42:10] anybody,

[00:42:12] a kind

[00:42:12] word costs

[00:42:13] you nothing.

[00:42:15] Hot meal

[00:42:15] goes a long

[00:42:16] way if you

[00:42:16] have an

[00:42:17] extra few

[00:42:18] dollars.

[00:42:18] It is

[00:42:19] cold outside.

[00:42:21] Even if you

[00:42:22] can open up

[00:42:22] your door to

[00:42:23] someone in

[00:42:24] need,

[00:42:26] help them

[00:42:26] get back on

[00:42:27] their feet

[00:42:28] need.

[00:42:28] Because Lord

[00:42:29] knows we're

[00:42:31] living in

[00:42:32] some times

[00:42:34] right now.

[00:42:35] I've seen

[00:42:36] a time

[00:42:37] where we

[00:42:39] could go

[00:42:39] in the

[00:42:39] grocery store,

[00:42:40] pick up a

[00:42:41] few items

[00:42:42] for 20

[00:42:42] bucks.

[00:42:44] We can't do

[00:42:45] that anymore.

[00:42:46] I was

[00:42:46] watching the

[00:42:47] news the

[00:42:47] other day

[00:42:48] and they

[00:42:49] were showing

[00:42:49] all the

[00:42:50] families

[00:42:53] that didn't

[00:42:54] have a place

[00:42:54] to stay

[00:42:55] right here

[00:42:56] in the

[00:42:57] state of

[00:42:57] North

[00:42:57] Carolina,

[00:42:57] right in

[00:42:58] my county.

[00:42:59] It got

[00:43:00] really,

[00:43:00] really cold.

[00:43:01] It got

[00:43:01] down in

[00:43:02] the 20s

[00:43:04] and they

[00:43:05] were showing

[00:43:06] the shelters

[00:43:08] and I said

[00:43:09] to myself,

[00:43:10] Lord, as much

[00:43:10] as I complain

[00:43:11] about moving,

[00:43:14] I still got a

[00:43:16] roof over my

[00:43:16] head.

[00:43:17] I may not

[00:43:17] like my

[00:43:20] building and

[00:43:21] my complex.

[00:43:26] All things work

[00:43:27] together for

[00:43:28] your good

[00:43:29] because I've

[00:43:29] been whining

[00:43:30] and crying

[00:43:30] to get out

[00:43:31] of here for

[00:43:31] almost nine

[00:43:32] years.

[00:43:34] Sometimes he

[00:43:35] keeps us

[00:43:35] right where

[00:43:36] we're at,

[00:43:37] not because

[00:43:39] he doesn't

[00:43:40] want better

[00:43:41] or more

[00:43:41] for us.

[00:43:44] It's because

[00:43:44] like he said

[00:43:45] in his

[00:43:45] word,

[00:43:46] I foreknew

[00:43:47] you.

[00:43:50] You're mine.

[00:43:53] You're mine.

[00:43:55] So I know

[00:43:56] what's best

[00:43:57] for your life.

[00:44:00] My husband

[00:44:01] told me the

[00:44:01] other day,

[00:44:02] you just

[00:44:02] going to

[00:44:02] keep kicking

[00:44:04] against the

[00:44:04] prick.

[00:44:07] And I said,

[00:44:07] what do you

[00:44:08] mean by that?

[00:44:08] He said,

[00:44:09] you keep

[00:44:10] looking for

[00:44:10] a job and

[00:44:12] I'm grateful

[00:44:12] that you

[00:44:14] want to

[00:44:14] help me.

[00:44:15] He said,

[00:44:16] but I think

[00:44:17] God got you

[00:44:18] right where

[00:44:19] he wants you

[00:44:20] to be in

[00:44:20] a season

[00:44:20] with him.

[00:44:24] You're going

[00:44:25] to learn

[00:44:25] after a while.

[00:44:26] And I

[00:44:26] laughed,

[00:44:28] but there

[00:44:28] could be

[00:44:29] some truth

[00:44:29] to that,

[00:44:30] guys.

[00:44:31] Peace and

[00:44:31] blessings

[00:44:32] until tomorrow.
