[00:02:14] Amen. Amen. So guys, yes, yes, yes, yes, we are on vacate.

[00:02:22] But I did promise to show up here and there those of you that are faithful followers of 12 street top back.

[00:02:29] You know, I popped up here and there on YouTube as we moved right along in the book of Joshua.

[00:02:35] I think the last upload that we actually did, notable was chapter 16.

[00:02:41] We're over at chapter 23 now.

[00:02:45] And some of those names in and out are there with a were a doozy to pronounce.

[00:02:50] So if you want to hear what you did not get by audio, you have to head on over to our YouTube media channel at 12 street top back.

[00:03:01] And you can look at the videos some of them alive and you can see me breaking it down as well in between there.

[00:03:10] I did a little talk about the book of Galatians and I did a little talk about first Kings.

[00:03:18] So just as God has been laying things on my spirit, being venturing off into other realms in my personal life.

[00:03:27] And if I come across something that I feel like it will be received well, I'll give someone something to meditate on.

[00:03:35] That's what I've been doing.

[00:03:38] So I want to get out of the book of Joshua before I officially started just doing random things while I was on vacation because I will be popping up here and there.

[00:03:50] I've got a couple special guest episodes that's about to take place with us and I've got a couple people that they've got some things that they would like to come over and share with us.

[00:04:10] And I may be doing a couple of guests out of thin air episodes.

[00:04:18] And as it hits me as it hits my fancy.

[00:04:23] So what that being said, again, I wanted to get through the book of Joshua and we're right at chapter 23 and 24.

[00:04:33] My kid and hothead, as it just popped in my head. I guess I could do a little recap for you guys and try to sum it up in this next 20 to 30 minutes.

[00:04:45] So when we left off, we were in the book of Joshua chapter 16.

[00:04:52] And as we get, got into the book of Joshua chapter 16, the drop of Joseph was actually being divided into two tribes.

[00:05:03] And it descended from the descendants from Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Vanessa.

[00:05:12] They were about to receive their own inheritance into their land. However, they did not drive out the canonites who live in your zeer.

[00:05:22] So the canonites will continue to live in the Ephraim's territory as forced laborers.

[00:05:29] Then we got on over into chapter 17.

[00:05:34] And the next tribe of Vanessa, who was Joseph's first born, they received their lotment of land.

[00:05:42] However, during this particular chapter in the midst of this verse, we're told about the five daughters of the man named Zofala-Had.

[00:05:52] So Zofala-Had, Zofala-Had, Zofala-Had.

[00:05:58] Think that's the way I pronounce it right. Anyway, guys, try to jump ahead and knock my heart.

[00:06:05] And he didn't have any sons.

[00:06:07] And they had became before the priest, Ellie Hazard and Joshua and the leaders to remind them in chapter 17 that with the Lord had promised them that since they had no sons to inherit the land.

[00:06:27] And Zofala-Had had no sons only daughters.

[00:06:31] That God has spoke to the Lord and the Lord had told Moses in this matter that the daughters would be given their fathers inheritance.

[00:06:43] So therefore, God had commanded them.

[00:06:47] That when a man's son dies with Ellie's son, transfer his inheritance to his orders.

[00:06:55] And keeping with the Lord's instructions in Moses' day, this is exactly what Joshua did, been a faithful and good leader.

[00:07:05] We move on over to chapter 18 where after they surveyed the land, and you got to let me back up a little bit.

[00:07:21] And Joshua has told them to invade the land, go take what was promised to you.

[00:07:31] Go take this land and they were kind of a little laid back with it, I guess that would be my choice of words.

[00:07:40] They were kind of seduced when not doing exactly what Joseph told them.

[00:07:47] And Joseph said, look, this land is it who want to divide up by itself, listen.

[00:07:53] You got worked to do so he told them to appoint three men from each tribe to go survey the land and divide it into seven portions.

[00:08:02] And he cast it lots for the remaining tribe and its land.

[00:08:09] And they tell me in the commentary as I'm scanning it now, once again we're reminded that here that even though God's promises may be within our reach, they may not be in our hands.

[00:08:23] God has promised Israel and land but the people still had to do the work of taking it.

[00:08:30] So we can apply that to our lives too.

[00:08:33] Sometimes we can ask God for things, I know I certainly have.

[00:08:38] And that's the reason right now like, where are you?

[00:08:42] And we have to put in the war.

[00:08:46] And though although I feel like I'm putting in the war, but is it God's will for me?

[00:08:53] Or is it something that I want?

[00:08:55] And I can say that in the reference to the podcast as well.

[00:09:03] You know, as I read the word sometimes, I'm reading it live on my YouTube channel on TikTok now as well as on Facebook and sometimes there's nobody listening.

[00:09:18] God, a couple days later I go over to my YouTube channel and I've had a couple people stop in whether they watched or listened to the whole thing.

[00:09:28] I don't know but it makes me feel a little bit better about reading God's word aloud.

[00:09:33] But then it also has me thinking, am I doing something that God didn't enough me to do or choose me to do?

[00:09:42] And then I go back to my mind thinking, and I say, you know what?

[00:09:47] That always wants this word to get out there.

[00:09:50] So either way he's going to direct my path.

[00:09:53] I don't think he's going to be too upset with re-reading the word.

[00:09:58] So this is what Joshua has tell the look of survey this land.

[00:10:02] It's not going to bother itself up.

[00:10:06] You're not going to run out anybody by standing here.

[00:10:09] Go take what is yours.

[00:10:11] So as we get over into chapter 19 we found out that Joshua receives his personal inheritance.

[00:10:19] And like a good leader he made sure that all the people had received their territories before he settled in his own.

[00:10:29] Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim, so the Lord gave him the city, a Timonath, Sierra, and the hill country of Ephraim.

[00:10:41] So Joshua, all the gates, everybody else's land to the young and the young he receives his.

[00:10:51] So as we get into chapter 20 of the book of Joshua,

[00:10:58] Has God had told Moses in numbers that Israel was to establish cities of refuge.

[00:11:05] So in numbers, and I believe he explained it a little bit and do to run away.

[00:11:13] But definitely numbers that they were established a city of refuge.

[00:11:17] And what that was is in Tom to come.

[00:11:23] If the Israelites were to accidentally heal someone, a relative or victim, might want to avenge their love one.

[00:11:32] So instead of that person being dealt with by that loved one because it wasn't accident, they were to have cities of refuge.

[00:11:46] That they could enter and they could take rest without any blood being ever avenged on them.

[00:11:56] So in chapter 21, as we discussed previously the tribe of Levi received no land,

[00:12:08] and they were miles as of this in chapter 21.

[00:12:14] And they received no land for a lot, men since they were to serve the Lord in the works of the ministry.

[00:12:21] He was to be their inheritance.

[00:12:26] But they still needed places to live.

[00:12:30] So the heads of the Levi families approached the high priests, Joshua and the Israel leaders to remind them of what the Lord commanded through Moses.

[00:12:42] That within the lands divided among the brothers that the Levi's were to receive cities with their hashed to reliance.

[00:12:52] Thus by living in the city scattered throughout territories of various tribes, the Levi's would have success to all the people.

[00:13:02] So they could fulfill their duties and their promises to God.

[00:13:07] So as we got into chapter 21, as the Levi's received their total total of 48 cities,

[00:13:20] 23 of their wit to the co-hotites, clans, the descendants of Levi's second son.

[00:13:28] With 13 of those cities going to the descendants of Ayrin, who were to serve as priests.

[00:13:37] The 13 cities went to Gershons clan, the descendants of Levi's first son, and 12 cities went to Miramar's clan,

[00:13:48] the descendants of Levi's third son.

[00:13:53] So they start to allocate for the Levi priest, and what they, because they still need a place to live, guys.

[00:14:03] That's what I'm talking about too.

[00:14:04] They still need a place to live.

[00:14:08] So now we come to the service serving God in the promised land.

[00:14:15] With the land that they have required, and they are able to rest.

[00:14:20] Joshua sent the tribe of Ruben Gade, and half of the tribe amannesah back to their homes to the east side of the Jordan.

[00:14:30] They had faithfully crossed the Jordan with their brothers to help him conquer the land, remember.

[00:14:37] They were told they were given land that was just right for the impreviously when Moses was around.

[00:14:46] They had the greenery and had the water, with the promise that as they moved on with the rest of the tribes,

[00:14:55] that these brothers were sent out, their mighty men of valor to help take these cities in this land for the rest of the people, the rest of the Israelites.

[00:15:06] So after all this was done, and everybody settled down Joshua, he can blast them and send them back on their way.

[00:15:16] But he also challenged him to be careful to obey the commandment and the instructions that Moses, the Lord, served with had given to them.

[00:15:27] And he's other words he's saying, even though you're departing from your brothers, O' Tight to God.

[00:15:34] And I think that we get away from that a lot in this world, this world that we live in and the more I get into my world.

[00:15:44] The more I learn how to move a little bit better and be a little bit more obedient to God, because it is easy, because we have so many distractions, distractions, distractions, distractions.

[00:15:58] And this is what Moses is basically telling them, don't forget about the Lord, your God.

[00:16:05] We got some distance in between us but don't forget, hold on to God's word.

[00:16:13] So now we are in chapters 23 and 24. So let's read on with the last 14 minutes that we have.

[00:16:25] Joshua chapter 23. Now it came to past a long time after the Lord had given rest to Israel from all their enemies,

[00:16:35] round about that Joshua was old, advanced in years.

[00:16:40] And Joshua called for all of Israel, for the elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and he said to them, I am old, advanced in years.

[00:16:52] You have seen all that the Lord, your God has done to all these nations because of you.

[00:17:00] For the Lord, your God is He who has fought for you.

[00:17:06] See I have divided to you by a lot these nations that remain, to be in inheritance for your tribes from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off as far as the great sea, westward.

[00:17:22] When the Lord, your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight.

[00:17:30] So you shall have the Z. So you shall possess their land as the Lord, your God promised you.

[00:17:39] Therefore, be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the Law of Moses.

[00:17:47] Let's return aside from it to the right hand or to the left.

[00:17:53] And let's you go among these nations, these who remain among you.

[00:17:58] You shall not make mention of the name of their God's Norcos anyone to swear by them.

[00:18:06] You shall not serve them nor bow down to them, but you shall hope fast to the Lord your God as you have done to this day.

[00:18:15] For the Lord has driven out before you great and strong nations, but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you till this day.

[00:18:29] One man of you shall chase a thousand for the Lord your God is who fights for you as He promised you.

[00:18:40] Therefore take care for He to yourselves that you love the Lord your God or else.

[00:18:47] If indeed you do go back and cling to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you,

[00:18:56] and make marriages with them, and go into them and they to you know for certain that the Lord your God would never drive while these nations from before you.

[00:19:09] But they shall be snares and shrats to you as garages on your side and thorns in your eye until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

[00:19:24] Behold this day, I am going this way.

[00:19:28] Behold this day, I am going the way of all the earth and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you.

[00:19:44] All have come to pass for you, not one word, not one word of them has failed.

[00:19:52] Therefore it shall come to pass that as all the good things have come upon you which the Lord your God promised you.

[00:20:01] So the Lord will bring upon you all humble things and to He has destroyed you from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

[00:20:13] When you have trained breasts, the covenant of the Lord your God which He could bend you and have gone and serve other gods about down to them then the anger of the Lord will burn against you and you shall perish quickly on the good land which He has given you.

[00:20:34] And that was chapter 23.

[00:20:38] So Joshua is just basically reinteraating what Moses had already said in the law which God had spoke to Moses.

[00:20:48] Let's see what our commentary says about that.

[00:20:51] Chapter 2324 includes Joshua's fair where a dress to Israel as he knew the his death was approaching and he wanted to exhort the people one last time.

[00:21:04] Many years at ass as the Lord had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them and Joshua was now a whole man.

[00:21:13] He remodeled the people that they had seen with their own eyes what God had done for them.

[00:21:19] He said it was the Lord your God who was fighting for you.

[00:21:23] He was the one who ultimately destroyed the nations.

[00:21:28] Yes, it's true that the Israelites did fight.

[00:21:32] But they were only victorious because God had worked through them.

[00:21:40] That one take particular, you can't mention of that.

[00:21:46] I want to stop right there for a minute because I think we all need to be reminded those about the laws of us that love the Lord.

[00:21:57] So serve God, serve Jesus.

[00:22:01] That anything that we do is not our own will.

[00:22:06] I know we have people out there today that think I did this.

[00:22:10] I'm manifesteth this.

[00:22:11] I think that's the word that's going around an our generation right now.

[00:22:17] A couple of us at a year or so ago it was life be life and now it's manifest and everybody's manifesting things to them.

[00:22:27] But it has to be the will of God.

[00:22:32] He said in his word, I bless the justice well as the unjust.

[00:22:37] And I've told you guys a couple weeks ago I had to go really good and investigate when he said that.

[00:22:44] Bless the justice well as the unjust.

[00:22:47] And what he was telling the people or telling us was that we don't get a say in who he's a sized blessed.

[00:22:56] We can look at someone's life as I know I certainly have and say it, you know what they don't even believe in God.

[00:23:04] But they're so blessed.

[00:23:08] But I was looking at it with the natural, I look at it the material things, the house, the cars, the clothes, what have you.

[00:23:15] And to God started sure made that I'm blessed in the fact that he wakes me up every day.

[00:23:23] And I'm blessed too, not with just the fact that he wakes me up every day.

[00:23:29] But any obstacles any mountains in my way because he woke me up and gave me another day there must be a solution to the problem.

[00:23:42] Even if it is a problem, he might already have an answer to my way out.

[00:23:49] I just got a tune in with him.

[00:23:54] See what his will is for my life and I think this is what Joshua was saying right here.

[00:24:00] Don't get it twisted, although you fault physically with your hands as much as us as many of us do today.

[00:24:09] We work hard for our life, the things in our life but we have to be reminded, especially those of us of faith that we can do nothing without God.

[00:24:19] We may have physically picked up that book, a physically picked up that item.

[00:24:26] In the end it was God to wheel the way that thing went.

[00:24:32] Sometimes on social media I'll see the young folk, especially in my family.

[00:24:38] In their early 20s or early 30s get excited about getting a promotion or getting a new job.

[00:24:45] They'll post on their I just got hired and they'll show their hammer papers.

[00:24:50] Whatever they choose to hire, just like many of us do if we make the chart so we're on good odds.

[00:24:55] I know why I sure do because that's a notch under your belt.

[00:24:59] You're feeling good about that thing.

[00:25:02] But we have to remember but God not did it for us.

[00:25:08] So here this is what Joshua was saying.

[00:25:10] Although you physically felt that all those things through you, he did all those things.

[00:25:21] But he does say this, continue obey the written book of the loud of Moses.

[00:25:30] See that you don't turn from it, north of the left or to the right.

[00:25:35] And he's reminding them of this because some of the tribes, some of the Israelites, as they got their land a lot of her lot to them, especially Vanessa and we've been engaged.

[00:25:49] They allowed some of the king and knights to dwell among them.

[00:25:52] So he's given them this caution.

[00:25:57] Don't do as they do.

[00:25:59] Don't turn to the left, don't turn to the right.

[00:26:02] This is a man, man to us.

[00:26:06] The act God's word and don't take from it.

[00:26:10] Is a reminder to us, God does not need our help.

[00:26:15] Revise in his scriptures as well as exactly what he wants us to say.

[00:26:22] He's put his word together.

[00:26:24] He's put his love together.

[00:26:25] That's why Moses is says the law of Moses.

[00:26:29] Moses got it from God.

[00:26:32] And to be loyal.

[00:26:35] This is his way of reminding us to be loyal.

[00:26:40] We have to live in the world, but we are not of this world as Christians.

[00:26:46] In other words, don't embrace the world and their value of the system.

[00:26:52] God's people are distinct people.

[00:26:56] And we have to reflect on God's character, on Jesus' character.

[00:27:02] Remember Jesus said, I only do the things that I see my father do.

[00:27:08] So don't love the things in the world more than you love him.

[00:27:11] And that's what Joshua was saying.

[00:27:14] Okay, we've got our land.

[00:27:15] We're not born right now.

[00:27:17] Everybody's got their lot met.

[00:27:20] We're loving life.

[00:27:21] We're living amongst our brothers and sisters.

[00:27:24] And we've got enough land for our livestock.

[00:27:28] The build and settle.

[00:27:30] And be, you know, live happily ever after I guess I would say.

[00:27:34] Every girl's dream to have the white picket fence in the house and the husband and the two

[00:27:40] point five children in and the car.

[00:27:44] Don't forget about God and how you got there.

[00:27:49] And don't take from his world, especially if you're believer.

[00:27:55] You can't twist his word to make it your word.

[00:27:58] And say, well, I think this even though I read it this way.

[00:28:03] If he said don't do it, don't do it.

[00:28:05] He said, hey, the things that I hate and love, the things that I love.

[00:28:09] I have someone asked me about that scripture about three years ago.

[00:28:16] And at that particular time will help me off God but God allowed me to explain it

[00:28:26] from what he had to positive me.

[00:28:28] It's not the person that God hates when he say,

[00:28:33] hate the things that I hate and love the things that I love.

[00:28:37] It's the things that we do.

[00:28:41] That is against his will, against his law.

[00:28:44] If he said don't murder, don't murder.

[00:28:46] He said don't steal, don't steal.

[00:28:49] If he said love, that name would love that name for as you look.

[00:28:52] If he said, I was getting ready to get two mixed scripture,

[00:28:56] just mixed up in one of these.

[00:28:57] I love that neighbor.

[00:28:58] Love that neighbor.

[00:28:59] If he tells our husbands to love their wives as they love the church.

[00:29:03] I've got loves to church as Jesus loved the church.

[00:29:06] You know, love your wives.

[00:29:08] If he said, why have submit until your husband?

[00:29:10] Submit until your husband.

[00:29:11] He doesn't want us to twist it.

[00:29:14] And I think that's some time that we can.

[00:29:16] As I reflect over, I think it was my season two or season three.

[00:29:21] I'm a big issue really getting into God's world.

[00:29:26] And the big issue I had was that word submit.

[00:29:31] Because in my carnal thinking, I was like, I ain't doing nothing

[00:29:34] that I don't want to do.

[00:29:37] If my husband tells me to do that,

[00:29:39] God will feel comfortable doing that.

[00:29:41] I'm not doing that.

[00:29:42] But as God has reshaped, make and molded me.

[00:29:47] Submit until my husband means so many more things

[00:29:51] than God it was.

[00:29:53] Because all I could see was not going to let him

[00:29:56] ball smear around.

[00:29:58] He's not going to take my identity.

[00:30:01] Couldn't see pass the fact that if this man is a man of God,

[00:30:06] and he loves God, he puts God first and everything that he does.

[00:30:13] But he's not going to say or do or make me do.

[00:30:16] You are saying anything that's going to be harmful,

[00:30:21] that's going to make me feel bad.

[00:30:23] Because he goes to God first with everything.

[00:30:28] And he let the Lord lead him and I had to learn how to understand that.

[00:30:35] Now, the flip side of that is where all people

[00:30:40] are going to be happy.

[00:30:40] And we'll still try to kill this flesh.

[00:30:45] And some of us will kill the flesh and we can love

[00:30:49] with that a God may love.

[00:30:50] Some of us think we have killed the flesh

[00:30:53] into a proper more situation arises.

[00:30:57] And we'll refer back to how we used to have to let.

[00:31:01] And I'm going to use myself as an example,

[00:31:03] net rolling tongue pop in,

[00:31:06] viewing on tell me what to do.

[00:31:07] Let me take off my earrings ready to fight.

[00:31:12] But then go back to, oh, in my word.

[00:31:18] Maybe in my word but that I follow God's word

[00:31:21] when I step out of line with that situation,

[00:31:24] with that person or with that thing.

[00:31:27] But when you start to come become God conscious

[00:31:31] when you start reading your word and it starts to matter

[00:31:35] to you, or God looks at you.

[00:31:43] You change those things.

[00:31:47] You change those things for a better life,

[00:31:51] for a better relationship with God

[00:31:53] because you won't God to be pleased with you.

[00:31:56] We're not just for the works part of it.

[00:31:59] We're not changing it to get into heaven.

[00:32:01] We're not changing it just because we won't

[00:32:03] God to be pleased with us.

[00:32:06] We're changing it because God has changed our heart.

[00:32:09] He's done a new thing in us.

[00:32:12] We're all of us going to be pleasing to Him because God loves

[00:32:17] all of us.

[00:32:18] You're regardless.

[00:32:20] He loves that man or woman right now that's sitting in jail,

[00:32:23] but whatever crime they committed,

[00:32:28] but as they start to open up and develop

[00:32:31] a relationship with him,

[00:32:33] it's love never went anywhere.

[00:32:36] It's always us that leaves him.

[00:32:39] It's never him that leaves us.

[00:32:42] And we have to be reminded that for God

[00:32:47] that love the world that He gave his only

[00:32:50] begotten son, how many of us can say

[00:32:55] that we'll give our son an abdorder

[00:32:57] to be executed in such a manner

[00:33:01] what Jesus Christ was executed in

[00:33:06] all the things that he wither

[00:33:09] or us.

[00:33:10] And some of us, we won't even say yes, I believe

[00:33:16] that Jesus did that on the cross

[00:33:19] and rose on that third day.

[00:33:23] We're still trying to figure out

[00:33:25] the book sets of it all.

[00:33:29] It's just a walking by faith.

[00:33:33] Bible is one of the number one books

[00:33:35] that is steel.

[00:33:38] It's bolt given away

[00:33:41] till this day.

[00:33:44] Number one best sound.

[00:33:47] Even John.

[00:33:50] St. John.

[00:33:51] The last passage in St. John

[00:33:54] and I'm a flick to it real quick

[00:33:56] because I want this to make

[00:33:58] a little bit more sense as I say it.

[00:34:02] And I want to make sure again

[00:34:04] that if I don't add to and take away

[00:34:08] John chapter 21, verse 25.

[00:34:13] It says,

[00:34:14] and there are also many other things

[00:34:17] that Jesus did

[00:34:19] which if they were written one by one

[00:34:23] by suppose that even the world itself

[00:34:27] did not contain the books that will be written.

[00:34:34] So yes,

[00:34:36] some of our scholars, some of our

[00:34:40] educators, even our leaders,

[00:34:44] like yourologists and whatever other names

[00:34:47] they're out there for people searching

[00:34:51] for Jesus, remnants of Jesus,

[00:34:55] existing.

[00:34:58] The word even says it's itself.

[00:35:01] So now maybe everything is not in here

[00:35:04] but if it's God's will,

[00:35:09] if you believe everything in your life is his will,

[00:35:13] would you not just believe

[00:35:15] that the Bible has just what he wanted in it?

[00:35:21] I'm just saying.

[00:35:24] I'm just saying something else

[00:35:26] to get you to ponder on.

[00:35:29] But as Joseph,

[00:35:31] not Joseph Joshua is getting ready

[00:35:35] to leave the people as his eyes

[00:35:39] become a little bit them.

[00:35:42] He reminds them.

[00:35:43] I hold on to the promises of God.

[00:35:47] He's brought you out of Egypt.

[00:35:49] He brought you into the promise land,

[00:35:51] don't depart from the words

[00:35:53] that Moses has written

[00:35:56] that God himself gave to them.

[00:36:01] They also make mention

[00:36:08] of the fact that

[00:36:12] he says,

[00:36:13] I'm going now.

[00:36:15] He says,

[00:36:15] I am now going

[00:36:18] the weight of the whole earth.

[00:36:20] So Joshua knew that he was about to die.

[00:36:22] He knew that these would be his final words.

[00:36:26] So he reminded them that not one promise

[00:36:29] of God had failed them.

[00:36:32] But to enjoy the promises

[00:36:34] of the land, the people were to

[00:36:39] require the gift God their loyalty

[00:36:42] and the commitment

[00:36:45] who never leave God.

[00:36:49] So as we move into chapter 24

[00:36:53] on Thursday,

[00:36:56] we'll continue to see

[00:36:57] what Joshua's fear where a dress

[00:37:00] took Israel is.

[00:37:02] And we have that famous

[00:37:05] for those of you that don't know

[00:37:07] Joshua was the one that said,

[00:37:09] I'm going to ask for me

[00:37:11] or my house.

[00:37:14] We will serve the room.

[00:37:16] He's in blessings

[00:37:16] to you all

[00:37:17] until next time.

[00:37:18] I hope that

[00:37:20] all of you guys

[00:37:20] that listen to body,

[00:37:22] any of your audio

[00:37:25] that you enjoy this.

[00:37:27] I'm extremely extremely

[00:37:28] college hours

[00:37:30] for not being able

[00:37:31] to do it

[00:37:33] every day

[00:37:33] and uploaded

[00:37:34] to the audio park.

[00:37:37] But if you're curious about

[00:37:38] what I discussed,

[00:37:40] we won't over to our YouTube channel

[00:37:41] that's www.YouTube.com

[00:37:45] slash Act

[00:37:47] to help that.

[00:37:50] Guys don't forget

[00:37:51] we're starting a charity

[00:37:52] event

[00:37:53] for a senior's Christmas program.

[00:37:57] If you want to purchase

[00:37:58] the T-shirts are 30

[00:38:01] to dollars now,

[00:38:05] proceeds would go to

[00:38:06] shipping

[00:38:07] for making

[00:38:08] of the T-shirt

[00:38:09] and a portion of it,

[00:38:12] we'll go towards

[00:38:12] our senior's service

[00:38:14] Christmas program.

[00:38:16] If you are follower

[00:38:17] of the show

[00:38:18] by Spotify,

[00:38:21] I'd need for you

[00:38:22] to make sure

[00:38:23] that you have subscribed

[00:38:24] and you have signed

[00:38:26] up to support

[00:38:27] the show

[00:38:28] as little as

[00:38:30] 99 cents a month.

[00:38:31] I asked this every year.

[00:38:33] I think this is

[00:38:34] the third year

[00:38:35] that I've asked

[00:38:37] and I have really

[00:38:38] got no support on this.

[00:38:39] But this is to help

[00:38:40] our seniors out.

[00:38:44] I do have

[00:38:44] I've ever got some

[00:38:45] aces

[00:38:45] in the whole

[00:38:46] this year,

[00:38:47] but I won't go above

[00:38:48] and I can't do anything

[00:38:50] but do the little

[00:38:52] throw blankets

[00:38:53] and some socks

[00:38:54] and maybe a couple

[00:38:55] hand warmers

[00:38:56] or feet warmers

[00:38:57] and something

[00:38:59] to keep our elderly people warm

[00:39:01] while they're in those

[00:39:02] nursing homes

[00:39:03] or perhaps

[00:39:04] when they're getting on that

[00:39:05] van

[00:39:05] and they're having to go

[00:39:07] to their dialysis

[00:39:08] appointment

[00:39:08] or getting rolled

[00:39:09] to another part

[00:39:11] of that facility

[00:39:11] to go sitting

[00:39:13] and they'll do their

[00:39:13] dialysis.

[00:39:14] They get cold

[00:39:16] and I'll say

[00:39:17] dialysis

[00:39:17] because that's what my mom

[00:39:19] went through

[00:39:20] and she got down

[00:39:22] to a little

[00:39:23] bitty thing

[00:39:24] I don't think she

[00:39:24] weighed

[00:39:25] a good 70 pounds

[00:39:28] after she

[00:39:29] transition

[00:39:31] to the little facility

[00:39:33] and still had to continue

[00:39:35] to take her dialysis.

[00:39:37] She was always cold

[00:39:38] and she always

[00:39:40] enjoyed a good pair

[00:39:41] of fluffy socks

[00:39:43] that would grow blanket

[00:39:44] and still have her

[00:39:45] throw blanket

[00:39:46] till this day

[00:39:49] with all

[00:39:50] its holes

[00:39:51] and everything in it.

[00:39:53] I've watched it

[00:39:54] a couple of times

[00:39:55] the smell is not there

[00:39:57] but just that keepsake

[00:40:00] this old blanket

[00:40:03] every time I go

[00:40:04] into my living closet

[00:40:05] I can look at it

[00:40:07] and be reminded

[00:40:08] that this was her favorite

[00:40:10] little thing

[00:40:12] and she began to transition

[00:40:15] so guys

[00:40:16] if you can

[00:40:17] and if you can't

[00:40:20] you don't want to do

[00:40:21] any of that

[00:40:43] any small amount

[00:40:45] helps

[00:40:45] even if it's pennies

[00:40:47] even if you got a jar

[00:40:48] pennies

[00:40:51] and you will

[00:40:52] and you live in

[00:40:53] the try at

[00:40:54] I'll meet you

[00:40:55] somewhere safe

[00:41:08] of your day

[00:41:09] and meditate

[00:41:10] on God's word

[00:41:12] don't think about

[00:41:12] some of the situations

[00:41:14] like I do

[00:41:15] if it was me

[00:41:17] back in this term

[00:41:21] how would I do

[00:41:22] what would I do

[00:41:24] but I'm here nail

[00:41:26] when I'm read this world

[00:41:29] and some of it

[00:41:31] we may not

[00:41:31] can do all the things

[00:41:33] that they used to do

[00:41:34] because they paid

[00:41:35] the way for us

[00:41:37] but we can do

[00:41:38] some small things

[00:41:39] or keep it

[00:41:40] and order

[00:41:41] with God's word

[00:41:44] until next time

[00:41:45] if it be

[00:41:47] in God's word
