00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:04 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:14 Welcome back. 00:16 You know, this whole hour has been 00:19 talking about testimonies that are pretty intense. 00:22 Stories that are pretty, 00:24 you guys have been through as kids, 00:25 you've been through the fire. 00:27 You literally have gone in and out of areas 00:31 that most of us will never even understand. 00:34 But I know that there is somebody watching right now 00:36 that does understand and does know 00:39 what it feels like to be that kid. 00:41 Does know what he feels like to be in that community 00:43 where they're looking around and they're only out, 00:45 it's their only option is to jump in 00:48 and learn how to survey there. 00:49 To get the weapon into school all that kind stuff. 00:52 If you could talk to that kid about who you are today, 00:55 about what you know today, 00:57 what would you say to him or her? 00:58 I'd say probably even at the young age 01:03 that they may be figure out 01:05 what it is that you really care about, 01:07 you know, what's inside you that really moves you? 01:12 Well, what are the issues that really concern you? 01:15 Whatever that is, no matter what the grown ups tell you, 01:17 no matter what you teachers tell you, 01:19 commit your energies to that. 01:21 Devote your energies to that, and trust God, 01:24 and your life will mean something. 01:27 You know, I love this testimony 01:29 and I love the fact of starting the organization, 01:31 which could make a difference in the community 01:34 and I think that what makes me proud of God is fact 01:38 that He gets us to from such dark places and, you know, 01:42 a lot of the viewers know I was homeless 01:45 and all that kind of stuff and strung out. 01:47 And He gets us from these dark places 01:49 and literally cleans us up. 01:52 Shows us who we were created to be, 01:54 what our gifts are, how we can use the very things 01:57 that used to get us into all of that mess 02:00 and actually come in as a ministry and reach out 02:05 into the life of someone else. 02:06 Going into communities and changing communities 02:09 for the next kid has either a garden 02:11 to go to or a basketball court or he doesn't have to look 02:14 at burned out houses every time he turns around. 02:16 That is absolutely the coolest thing I have ever heard. 02:20 And for me in my recovery it's not enough 02:24 just to quit because a lot of us will do that. 02:27 Quitting the drugs, quitting the substances, 02:29 quitting, dealing quitting, 02:30 all that kind stuff is the first step 02:32 and we've talked about this before. 02:34 It's like buying a ticket to a movie, 02:36 it's not the movie it's a ticket. 02:39 You know, so, you know, 02:40 you step into that and then you look up 02:42 and you just literally ask God what next? 02:46 What you gonna do with all these? 02:48 And I am telling you He will wow you with 02:50 what's next because He as plan for all our lives. 02:54 Every single one of us. 02:55 And nobody is His favorite kid. 02:57 Nobody has more gifts than the next person. 03:00 All of us are different and He just says 03:02 you ask me that question what's next. 03:05 You bring all of this stuff to the table and start to surrender 03:08 this to me and I will wow you. 03:12 I have in Jeremiah it says, 03:13 "I have future and a plan for you to give you hope. 03:16 Not to bring evil into your life, 03:18 not to trash you, but to stand you up, 03:21 and one of these days you're gonna be standing in the middle 03:24 of your own life in your own skin saying, "shut up. 03:29 How cool is this?" 03:31 And you're gonna be the person that is going to be doing 03:34 the right thing and a good thing. 03:37 Until next week, always remember 03:39 the God is crazy about you, me too. |
