This is what you got to understand. If you go read the chapter that you people ask me, how can they read the Bible? And I be real with you, it's really not that hard to read the Bible. You don't have to start from beginning to end. However, if that floats your boat, then do what floats your boat, because it technically is a story. And that's the uncomfortable part. That's the part that people don't like to to address is that the Bible is a story. So the same way people, some people choose for science, you get what I'm saying, they may choose, choose religion, and then the same people that choose religion may choose, you know what I'm saying. You just never know okay. You literally never know. So you just have to literally do what it is that you feel like you called to do, and that you're purposed and designed for okay. And the more you do that, the more it's gonna actually start to understand, because it literally tells you, in chapter two of Habakkuk, I will take my stand in my watch post and straight station myself over the tower and look out to see what he will say to me. I When you think collaborate, oh my god. Oh my God, when you think collaborate instead of Competition. When you think collaborate instead of competition, you when you think collaborate instead of competition, the Lord says, The righteous shall live by his faith. And the Lord answered me, Write the vision, make it plain on tablets, so that he may run who reads it. I wonder who wrote this vision, this story, this what we believe is, is that this story is that if you write the vision, the one who reads the vision, you got to make that I wanted to say the S word, Come on, help me. Lord. Parents, we talk about uncomfortable things on my podcast, and sometimes we let cuss words slip, because My grandmama told me that, listen, cussing can be therapy. Um, so I mean to each his own, um, but in reality, you gotta get over it, because if you ever gonna be called what God if you if you ever gonna walk in, what God called you to walk in, bro, you gonna have to understand what he called you to do. And what he called you to do is not really just be chasing that girl, just because she finds wine, when, in reality, she pull you everything away from your morality. No, let's talk about it. No, if she literally is not helping you, be a mighty man and valor. I'ma go ahead and have to hurt your feelings. And really hurts today, because they gonna talk about me for saying this, but I gotta keep it 100 in reality, if she not helping you, be a better man. It's okay to say no. In this season, I'm gonna go, go ahead and go tend to what it is that the Lord called me to do, and then I'ma stumble across me at Proverbs 31 let's talk about it. You gotta be okay with trusting the fact that the Lord got better for you. No, you might be sitting here wanting to still talk to dusty Tyrone, but in reality, the Lord might be actually saying, bruh, I got you a brad over here. You get I'm saying, or the Lord might be saying, since you don't even need to be in, since you don't even need to be since you don't even need to be in connection with nobody right now, you might need to be tending to yourself and doing your divine mission, because I really got Tyrone in a season where he really might be a good one and a good one for you, but because you try to make it happen in your own time, and you gonna have to experience some of the cuts, let's talk about it. No How many of y'all okay with waiting on greater? I'm okay with waiting on greater. And big dog, you might not be okay with waiting on greater, but it. Reality your homeboy is, and I'm okay with just letting you sit to the side and just listen, because ain't nobody gonna force you to do anything you don't want to do. No, that's part of the American dream. No, is the American dream ever obtainable? That's what I want to talk about, because I remember hearing that question when I was younger, and I don't think a lot of people talked enough about it. No, but now that we're living it. Can we make some better decisions? Because somewhere in the Bible, I'm gonna go ahead and help you. The chapter and the in the book is on me, but the verse is on you. No, you gotta go read it for yourself. The only way you gonna know the verse is if you go read it for yourself. That's why I get homework on my podcast. Okay, you gotta get over that, parents the same way you gotta get over the fact that we talk about uncomfortable things on my podcast, if your child is under the age of 14, then I think that is probably, um, I really want to say, I really want to save your child's under the age of 15, but if they 14, I feel like I'm kind of cool with you listening to it with them. You know, I'm saying because you're gonna be able to kind of curve the conversations. Um, the lady looking she on her phone, driving the school bus, and I spoke to her like five times. That's crazy. Lord, cover that school bus, because people really don't even be paying attention. And it's like, how you're not paying attention when you taking care of somebody else's children. Like, Lord, let them have a desire to work. No, I don't know what it's for, but let that person just love a little more on them. Children today, maybe they didn't get no hugs last night. They mama and daddy was beefing. They know if they was gonna have food on the table, you don't know. Children be dealing with some real shit you get. I'm saying they just little people, and they can't talk about it, because if they talk about it in a disrespectful way, you gonna actually sit there and focus on the disrespect. You're not gonna sit there and focus on the words and let's get to the root of the problem. And I'm gonna be real with you. I know somebody out here, literally, that's willing to get to the root of the problem. No, this is the reason why I gotta talk about it on my podcast. We have to talk about it. And in reality, when you get ready to talk about it, you might have to go ahead and talk to one of the team members, because in reality, I'm gonna be real with you. I'll be having some people in my DMs, but my homegirls and I'm like, chill out on it, because in reality, they not even focused on you, didn't I just tell you that when you get you a P 31 brand, she actually focuses on what she trying to bring to the table. You get I'm saying she actually brings something to the table. I'm gonna be real with you now. I'ma speak again. Now she spoke that morning. She spoke that morning, and I Okay, this is the thing. I'm glad that she looked up and spoke, but she was driving to a dead end on her phone and making sure, you know, I don't know, but I'm not trying to make take up for it. But in reality, I'm trying to just be real with y'all. Habakku, complained to the Lord. How you complain that he answered back to you and tell you, all you gotta do is write it down so whoever read this for still, the vision awaits its appointed time. The vision that you have in your life like this, is the crazy part I'm seeing it. Help me. Lord, help me. Lord. I need to talk to Angela. Because I know Angela that's literally of color, and I know Angela look like my homegirl, Karen, but in reality, she from the south, and she real prophetic. I ain't gonna lie. I felt it. Can we talk about it? Because, you know, when two or three are gathered, you actually can feel when you and his name. Let's talk about it, and I'm gonna be real with you. Everybody ain't ready. She remind me of that pastor that I always see tweeting on Damn, on x. So Twitter, whatever it's called, y'all remember when Twitter used to be called no X used to be called Twitter. I feel like that was just yesterday, though, so it's like, it's crazy that we talking about it now, okay, but No, literally, this lady, I gotta talk to both Angela's at the table. Why? Because, in reality, I'm gonna be real with you. They both got a message. They how they how they tell their story, is different, though. No one might use, literally, prophecy. Another one might use her voice and acting No. Let's talk about it. One might be talking about a seed. The other one might remind you of what tomorrow is supposed to look like. Let's talk about it. Y'all not ready to talk to me, though, I gotta get them in the room the same way. I gotta get your baby daddies in the room, but this time, I ain't gonna lie, I need to get some powerful women in the room, because when you are connected, he said, when two or three are gathered in my name, baby imma, be in the midst of them. You gotta get over it. You have to get over it. Because in chapter two of Habakkuk, it says, Write the vision, make it plain on tablet tablets. So for he for Wait, so he may run. Who reads it for the vision awaits, is supported. Still awaits for still, division awaits. It's a point in time. That's what it really said y'all Okay, get over it for the vision, wait. I. For still, the vision away to support in time. It has since to the end. It will not lie meaning you go, you might have to wait on it, bro, that proverbs 31 is still in the making. That's the reason why I'm trying to tell them, bro, get the digital workbook. If you don't want the digital workbook, it's all good in the game. Go ahead and just listen to the podcast, because that part is free. But if you really trying to see how we out here enjoy the life that God gave us, like really get a visual, bro, you already subscribed to the Patreon, and Imma be real with you. It's going down in the Patreon you you literally have to get over that, and the second you get over it, bro, eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard, neither has it entered the heart of man what it is, help me, Holy Ghost, literally, help me, Lord, what it is that he about to do in your life. The problem is you too afraid to see it. And I will be real with you today, as much as I love you, and I really want to give you 15 minutes of shalom. I need you to go ahead and go meditate and go read Habakkuk chapter two. I need you to find the verses in which I was speaking from today, and Bray, I need you to put it in the comments, because your homeboy, he may not ever see or pick up a Bible, but if he happened to come across your comment, because he been going to your page every other day, if he happened to come across your comment and his algorithm, I'm gonna be real with you. I'm be real. He gonna see Habakkuk two chapter No, he gonna see Habakkuk chapter two versus blank when you put it in the comments. But if you don't ever put it in the comments, I'ma know two things. One, you ain't read. Two, you really not tapped in with me because you ain't put it in the comments. You get what I'm saying, or three, really, I would say three, two, or you just a hater. And you just like, I'm a spectator. Really, you're not even a hater. It's not that you don't want to see it happen. You just really kind of like, I'm a watch, because I really talked about her two years ago. And in reality, it's like, I don't want my homegirl, and I'll be like, Oh, you funny. You You fake because you not in the comments. No, it's okay. Listen, each one, teach one. Ain't nobody mad, but the devil over here. So if we you know what I'm saying, go ahead and throw that over your shoulder. Get over it. Okay. Because in reality, over here, we empowering people. We are empowering people to embrace the life that God has given to them. No, you have to embrace the life that God gave you. No. People were telling me, oh, I'm out here enjoying the life that God gave me. I'm trying to be like you, popping out, traveling, doing this. Then the third I'm like, Brett, I love that. You love that for me, and I know you're not a hater, but in reality, it's like bruh. It's way deeper than that. Some nights I really wish I could just cuddle. Some nights, I really wish I could just ask a question to that person who's no longer here. Sometimes I really do feel like, damn, ain't where they at, they say they in my corner, but where they at and yes, I can end my question with at my mama did pay for higher education, but you gotta get over that, because this is my passion project. Okay? On my passion project, on my podcast, I do what I want, nobody coming to slap my wrist. Okay, you have to get over that, okay? And the second you get over that is the second that you will understand. Guess what? You gotta do something extra to get what it is that you want. Sometimes it might not be. Oh, I need all of the money right now to get it done. No, it really might be. Instead of actually dropping it today or tomorrow, I'ma drop it today. No, let's talk. Let's talk. Y'all not ready to talk. I told you I was giving y'all a few minutes to go ground and go journal. When you get to the point to where you're grounding and you're journaling birth. Let me tell you something. Please hear me. You gonna be so it's gonna be on a totally different level of what it is that you experience in your life. But you gotta be willing to get grounded. You gotta be willing to just be grounded in God's word. You gotta be willing to be grounded in your life. You have to be willing to be grounded in your relationships, in your friendships, in your businesses, in your perspectives, literally. You have to literally lay hands on your head and say, I have a right to a sound mind. No, that's not a secret. The Lord said that in the Bible, he didn't say that he wanted you to fear. He didn't say he wanted you to be in total calamity. He didn't say that he wanted you to be having an anxious mind or a worrisome mind. No, what he wanted you to do is he wanted you to write the vision. Let's talk about it. Are y'all writing the vision? How many of you are writing a vision in your own way, literally, in your own way. Are you really putting it on tablets? Are you really writing down the vision? Are you really being serious about what it is that the Lord would have you to do? I don't know, but if you are putting it in the comments, you would have put it in the comments already. But if you aren't, then you really just not one of them, ones and I mad at you. Yeah, because at some point I believe you gonna you ready to start eating some lamb chops. Me and mine over here eating lamb chops. Oh, by the way, this is the perfect time to tell you. My name is Diamond. Shalom. I don't run the South, but I am from the south, okay? And I just feel like, no disrespect to any of reality TV, but we, a lot of y'all, don't even, a lot of us don't even run our own lives, because we haven't even really come into connection to really even know our own bodies. And so when you don't like health is your wealth really, when you think about that, health is wealth. Eyes haven't seen, bro, eyes haven't seen and so what we do over here is, let me take a sip of water. You what we do over here is we empower people to embrace the life that God has given to them. Okay? And what that looks like is, it's a very different thing, but it's a very real thing. It might be an uncomfortable thing, like how in the south, although I love to talk about my YT people and how I feel like they're like no other they feel like they just like, closer than Ken. Imma be real with you. Some of my YT people ain't red revelation. So some of them don't actually know what color Jesus was, so they still treat us as if, like, you know, or still treat people that look different than them, different than them, you know, saying like they're not actually walking with the scripture where he said, Love thy neighbor as thyself. You know what I'm saying, as thyself. So in reality, we got to go ahead and take a deep breath, take us a sip of water and get over it, because in reality, they'll walk past you and act like they don't even see you when you darker than them, you get I'm saying you actually like you go stand out in the crowd. So it's kind of like, it's kind of like the same way we got to get over that. You got to get over the fact that we talk about uncomfortable things on my podcast. Okay, very uncomfortable things, and you have to get over it, because if we don't ever talk about it, we'll never get over it. Why do you think an alcohol anonymous? They tell you, hey, the first thing that I have to the first thing you have to do an alcohol, anonymous, or any kind of sobriety thing, is admit you have a problem out of your mouth. Hey, no, I have a problem with my self control. I have a problem with controlling my lust. I have a problem with with overspending. I have a problem with alcohol. I don't have a positive relationship with substance abuse. You know, I'm saying you have to say it out of your mouth. You have to write it down. You might you have to confess out of your mouth. Why you think that the only thing you gotta do to be saved? Not the only thing, but one of the few things you have to do to be saved and to be welcomed into the kingdom of God is literally just confess with your mouth and believe with your heart. That's the second part, okay, which is really very important to me. But the Lord said both of them. He put a n in the middle. That means both of them are like, equal kind of both important. That's for somebody who's struggling with a n, d and I n, I know somebody, and I'ma call on Tyrone, really, that's struggling with a n, d and I N, homeboy literally, will put, I sat in and put a and d the shop versus I sat, I sat in, I in the shop. And it's okay, because, in reality, if you knew a little bit more about this person, I'm just labeling it to ES Tyrone, but if you knew a little bit more about this person, you would know that they never really had a solid, decent role model. Nobody was really kind of there. Nobody was really kind of there to lead and show the way. And then if you actually hear deeper about their more about their story, this person would literally tell you, right? I kind of grew up in the pen, and I was just surrounded by the good dudes in the pen. But it was like, still, like I was learning pennant. You know, I'm saying I had to learn. I think they would say hard nots I had to learn by heart, not or, I don't know, Annie would say something, or Jamie Foxx, I don't know, but in reality, this person would literally say, bro, I learned a different way than the average person learned. My pops when they're home and tell me this, you get I'm saying, so I learned from bumping my head up against the wall. But now that I bumped my head up against the wall, I've learned and understand something totally different. So as long as I choose and understand that, hey, I have a different road or a different map or a different place that I can go down, it's like, no, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Y'all not ready to talk about it. And guess what? I just told you I was giving y'all extra minutes today to ground, huh? It's okay still go do it, because you still need to do it. So, yeah, so long said it do.
