00:01 There are thousands of people
00:03 who need support and follow-up care using natural remedies. 00:08 Stay tuned to meet a young woman 00:09 who has the answer to that challenge. 00:12 My name is Yvonne Lewis-Shelton, 00:13 and you're watching Urban Report. 00:39 Hello, and welcome to Urban Report. 00:41 My guest today is Raven White, 00:44 Founder of Project 144 and Wellness Coach. 00:48 Welcome to Urban Report. 00:49 Thank you. Thank you for having me. 00:51 Oh, I'm so glad that you're here. 00:53 I love being here. Praise the Lord. 00:56 You know, I had the privilege of interviewing you before 01:00 on the 3ABN Today program. 01:03 And you had such great information. 01:06 I'm so thankful that you've come back to 3ABN 01:10 and come to do a Dare to Dream program. 01:12 Thank you. 01:14 We're happy to have you here. Thank you. 01:15 So you have an interesting background. 01:18 Give us a little bit of your background 01:21 and your position with Wildwood? 01:24 Okay, well, at least 11 years ago, 01:27 I was not doing well healthwise. 01:30 And I went to Wildwood Lifestyle Center, 01:32 Center of Health Evangelism. 01:34 They have an education course, 01:35 a six-month and a one year advanced course. 01:38 So I went there trying to learn about health 01:41 and how to take care of myself. 01:44 In the process, the Lord has blessed that 01:47 I had diverticulitis, 01:48 I followed what they told me to do. 01:50 And the Lord healed me. Wow. 01:52 Okay, I have fibroids did the exact same thing, 01:55 Lord healed me. 01:56 And that's a big thing 01:58 in the African-American community. 01:59 With black women, the fibroids are big. 02:01 Exactly, and people kept saying it's impossible. 02:04 And I was thinking, well, if I used to be an atheist, 02:07 and I chose to believe in a God who can create the dead, 02:10 I mean, you know, raise people from the dead and heal people, 02:13 why can't He do it for me? 02:14 So in this process... 02:16 We're gonna come back to that, you used to be an atheist. 02:17 That's pretty deep, go ahead. 02:19 That was a wild story. 02:21 But in this process, when I was in advanced course, 02:24 I would talk to some friends 02:25 and I read in the Spirit of Prophecy that 02:27 I'll sum it up which says, 02:29 "If we go back to Christ and His methods, 02:31 we can regain Eden. 02:32 So I started a ministry called Regaining Eden at the time. 02:35 And I have my friends and we would say, 02:37 "Why don't we just utilize 02:38 what we've learned already in class 02:40 and start reaching people." 02:41 And so in that process, we started going out, 02:44 having people send us their medical records, 02:46 doing consultations with them, going out to churches, 02:48 doing presentations with different churches. 02:51 And so that kind of started off with Project 144. 02:55 And, but then eventually, we had to disperse graduation. 02:59 I stayed at Wildwood doing seminar directing, 03:01 and many other things. 03:03 And then I left Wildwood when my dad got sick. 03:06 So stop for one second. 03:08 So you went to Wildwood as a patient? 03:10 Right. Oh, as a student. 03:12 As a student, okay? Right. 03:13 But you had some health challenges? 03:15 Right. 03:16 And then you ended up being an employee? 03:18 I stayed as a worker. Wow. 03:19 Because things that they teach you there 03:22 is phenomenal disease and treatment, 03:24 hydrotherapy, massage, vegan cooking, 03:27 you learn self-sufficiency 03:30 and learn that Christ is a true healer, 03:32 and you using His methods. 03:33 And I even had an opportunity as a lifestyle coach 03:36 to help out in the lifestyle center. 03:38 So at this stage, I was just ready and on fire, 03:41 like I wanna stay here and work. 03:42 Yeah. Yeah. 03:43 So I did, for I think, eight years. 03:46 Did you, really? Yes, I did. 03:48 Wow. Yes, I did. 03:49 And during the time that you were there, 03:52 did you have a lot of experiences 03:54 that really confirm 03:56 that's where you were supposed to be? 03:58 It did. 03:59 As you started helping people with their health, 04:02 you knew that God is truly leading in this method. 04:05 One of the things that is really big on the term 04:07 medical missionary is utilizing the health message 04:10 as a way to reach people for Christ. 04:13 And so with that, 04:14 I would notice that there was a lot of people 04:16 who leaving out of the lifestyle program, 04:18 not really able to keep up what they've paid for. 04:22 And it was difficult for them, as well as a student, 04:25 realizing there are many people 04:27 who would go through this course, 04:29 but then have an opportunity 04:30 of how to utilize it in America. 04:32 And so at least by 2015, 04:36 there was a transition that I chose to make 04:38 after my dad passed away in 2014. 04:41 Because he was sick, 04:42 but couldn't come to the lifestyle center. 04:44 So who was gonna to go to his home 04:45 and there wasn't a hub at the time 04:47 of medical missionaries who knew what we knew 04:51 studying and what we studied, 04:52 to able to go out into someone's home. 04:54 So that's where Project 144 came into play. 04:58 But how did I come back to Wildwood? 05:00 Well, the thing is, it was a beautiful thing, 05:02 as I started to promote to Wildwood 05:04 and many other lifestyle centers like, 05:06 "Hey, there's not an agency that I wanted to be able 05:08 to help with the follow-up of your people 05:11 try to gather more medical missionaries together 05:14 to be able to help for those 05:15 who are leaving your lifestyle center." 05:18 So they can continue on what they've paid for. 05:21 What a great idea 05:22 because when you go to these centers, 05:26 let's say it's a two-week program 05:28 or even a four-week program. 05:29 And you take notes, 05:31 and you have all this information, 05:32 but when you go back to your old environment, 05:36 you need some tools to help you 05:39 to navigate through that environment. 05:42 And so what you were seeing was this need for follow-up 05:47 for people who've left these lifestyle places, 05:51 but they need some help in kind of maintaining 05:55 what they've learned, is that correct? 05:56 Exactly. 05:58 And in the process, Wildwood said, 06:00 well, how about you come back, we work together. 06:02 So I'm the Integration Director at Wildwood Lifestyle Center. 06:06 So I integrate other departments together 06:08 for the betterment of the guest. 06:10 And at the same time, if you are following up, 06:13 if you need follow-up, 06:14 I can actually do follow-up for you. 06:16 I can send someone to your home, 06:18 help you with, 06:19 how do I manage this environment 06:22 with my new knowledge. 06:23 And so that is something we're able to help with. 06:25 Wow! 06:27 And so how long has Project 144 been in existence? 06:31 Technicality 2016. Okay, okay. 06:34 But the ministry started by 2009, 06:37 started really reaching more people on a somewhat 06:40 of a professional level on 2015 06:42 but became a legitimate LLC in 2016. 06:46 And do you help with people 06:49 who've been to other lifestyle centers 06:51 besides Wildwood 06:52 or is this specifically Wildwood? 06:55 No, it's actually for anyone 06:57 that needs to follow-up from their doctors 06:59 even their providers who says, 07:01 "My doctor is telling me this, I don't know how to do it," 07:04 and lifestyle centers. 07:06 A person may say, 07:07 "I can't go to a lifestyle center," 07:08 like my dad. 07:10 Healthwise, he couldn't go there. 07:11 So let us come to you. 07:13 So that is one of the things 07:14 I appreciate Wildwood for saying, 07:16 "Hey, Raven, we can help." 07:17 Because again, we're having people come to us 07:20 but we can't go to them. 07:22 Let send them to you. Nice. 07:24 It has been a really nice partnership. 07:26 What a great idea too. 07:28 It's such a need... 07:30 Praise the Lord. There's such a need. 07:31 So tell us about the spiritual aspect of this. 07:35 What is the spiritual outcome of a Project 144? 07:39 Okay, so Project 144 stands for preparing souls 07:43 to be a part of the 144,000. 07:45 So everyone that's a part of this team knows that 07:47 whatever we do it is to utilize it 07:50 as an entering wedge to reach souls for Christ. 07:53 Nine-tenths of all diseases start in the mind. 07:56 A lot of people do not know how they're thinking, 07:58 the unforgiveness, the denials they're going through. 08:01 The grief that they've been going through, 08:03 depending on whatever they've lost, 08:05 it's actually hindering them from reaching their goals. 08:07 And so we're able to help them 08:09 see their weapons of their warfare. 08:11 We're able to help them grasp on to Christ and say, 08:14 "Why don't we try His methods, 08:16 His reasoning, His thought pattern, 08:18 and what you're dealing with your day to day life, 08:21 to get you towards your goals?" 08:22 'Cause a lot of people don't think about that... 08:24 Right. 08:25 Me being unforgiving is causing me to have cancer. 08:27 You know, me denying that things have happened in my life 08:30 is hindering me from even knowing 08:31 and understanding the Word of God. 08:33 There's the reasons. 08:35 And so what we've been trying to do 08:37 is help people see Christ point of view. 08:39 And that has been a great blessing 08:41 to seeing a lot of people be healed. 08:44 That's wonderful. 08:45 So kind of walk me through the process? 08:49 Okay. 08:50 So are you called by Wildwood 08:55 or the patient directly and they say, 08:59 "We need some help." 09:01 Or how does that work? All of it. 09:03 Okay. Okay. All of it. 09:05 So we've actually got more of our clients 09:07 from word of mouth. 09:09 And we do have Wildwood, like they just did last week, 09:12 say, "Hey, Raven, we have a person, 09:13 we can't come to them." 09:15 I mean, they can't come to us. 09:16 So can you go to them? 09:18 We do have people call us and say, "I need a caregiver." 09:20 Now the thing is, we do lifestyle coaching, 09:24 we do live in caregiving, 09:26 we do lifestyle programs in your home, 09:28 and we can do educational, 09:29 whether we come to your business 09:31 or your church or just teach you one on one in your home, 09:33 even with your friends. 09:35 But I have people calling me for nanny, 09:37 and I have people calling me for Bible workers. 09:40 So people call me for various reasons, 09:42 just because they are knowing that there's a hub now 09:45 of medical missionaries, and they're wanting them. 09:48 And as again, this is a person 09:49 who's gonna utilize their skills 09:51 to reach souls for Christ. 09:52 And if they know the health message is even better. 09:54 So I do have lifestyle centers, 09:56 I've actually talked to different lifestyle centers. 09:59 And so if they can refer me, 10:01 I just actually talked to Morehouse. 10:03 Oh, yay! 10:04 And so at that point, 10:06 we've partnered and they're saying, 10:08 "Hey, if I get some people, I'll send them to you 10:10 because they want them to actually follow up 10:12 learning lifestyle programs, learning in lifestyle aspects. 10:15 Oh, that's beautiful, beautiful. 10:18 And in fact, in a minute, 10:19 we're going to kind of take a look at a video 10:22 that you brought for the medical missionaries 10:25 because I wanna know, like, what is the process 10:30 in obtaining medical missionaries 10:32 to like to come or to contact your agency? 10:36 How does that work? 10:37 Okay, so if you're at a school, 10:39 like one of the clips we have is for those who are in school, 10:42 in a Medical Missionary Institution, 10:44 they contact us and they say, 10:46 "Hey, I want to actually do this." 10:48 But I'm not that... 10:49 Go get her on my own. Right. 10:50 You place me and can you check in with me, 10:52 that's what we would do. 10:55 Other than that, 10:56 we're trying to get our name out 10:57 saying this coming here. 10:59 So people will see Facebook, Indeed, 11:01 various places so people can see, 11:03 oh, there is a place for natural remedies 11:05 to be utilized in the homes of others, 11:08 whether it's phone call, internet, 11:10 or we come to your home. 11:12 We're trying to get our name out there to be able to say 11:14 if you have a desire, call us 11:17 and I've had people whether they had no skills 11:19 to their nurse practitioners, 11:22 I've had them call, I've been sending them out. 11:25 Now when you say no skills, what happens? 11:28 They're people interested, 11:30 they're just interested in learning natural remedies. 11:31 Okay. 11:33 So you offer like education as well? 11:36 And that's one of our future plans to try to do training. 11:39 But I have, like I have other clients, 11:41 I have a person who's a diabetic. 11:43 I said, I don't really have anyone right now. 11:45 And, but I have a young lady who's willing, 11:47 I can work with her. 11:49 I know enough about the disease to be able to help, 11:51 I have a brother who is Type 1 diabetic 11:52 and I've studied at Wildwood Lifestyle Center. 11:55 And so she said, "No problem." 11:56 And I worked with the young lady, 11:58 I sent her menus, 11:59 I gave her hydro treatments. 12:01 I have given her knowledge and skills, 12:02 and she followed through. 12:04 So in the future, we would like to have it on job training. 12:07 Right now, I do send them to Light 12:09 as a one month training program. 12:12 They're able to do one week, you know, hands on. 12:15 So until I develop my own, 12:17 I do require them to go somewhere 12:18 if they want to undergo deeper training. 12:20 But I try to do my best with them, 12:22 depending on the need of the client 12:24 and the willingness of the client. 12:25 Right. 12:26 Well, let's take a look at the video 12:28 that you brought us about the medical missionaries. 12:30 Okay, okay. 12:40 My time here is almost up. 12:43 Good evening. Hello, my name is Michael. 12:45 Are you Alex? 12:47 How is my arm? 12:48 No, you won't be using your arm. 12:53 Soon, I can call myself a health evangelist. 13:07 Where should I go? 13:09 Where is He sending me? 13:26 Let's make your medical missionary dream come true. 13:28 Call us now. 13:30 And we will match you with the right job 13:32 after you have graduated 13:33 from your health evangelism program. 13:35 Let's finish the work together. 13:45 That is such a great idea because so many people 13:50 when they and you probably know the statistics on this, 13:52 when they come out from the training, 13:54 when they leave the training, 13:57 it's like, okay, so 13:58 how do I make the most of what I've learned? 14:01 Right. 14:02 Where do I go? 14:03 And, you know, as he said, "Where is He sending me?" 14:07 And, you know, 14:09 the Lord can open up multiple places. 14:13 But what a blessing to have an agency 14:17 that can connect the practitioner 14:21 with the client. 14:22 That's, I mean, what a blessing. 14:25 It has been a blessing. It has been a blessing. 14:27 And I guess to some degree, 14:29 I've looked at it as there are some people who say, 14:32 you know, Raven, I don't, I've learned it. 14:34 But that's not what I wanna make my career in though, 14:37 I really want to still do graphic design, 14:39 I still wanna do auto mechanics, 14:41 but I still wanna utilize my skill 14:43 to reach souls for Christ. 14:45 So have a medical missionary heart. 14:47 And so even in that 14:48 when we started doing this Project 144 14:51 without the title in advance, 14:54 that's where the supporting network system 14:57 came into mind as well. 14:58 How do we still support those people 15:00 who come out of, again, our institutions, 15:03 but they're still skilled in other aspects 15:06 who want to reach souls for Christ 15:08 but wanna stay connected, 15:10 be around like-minded people 15:12 understanding the time that we're in. 15:13 That's a different mindset. Yes. 15:15 Than just getting the day-to-day job 15:17 and making money. 15:18 But no, how do we unite, 15:20 empower one another to serve, 15:22 to repair soul to be a part of the 144. 15:25 And so that's where by God's grace, 15:27 I can try to even develop a hub 15:29 of medical missionary minded people. 15:31 And then, well, I call Project Central. 15:34 And so pray for me. 15:36 Oh, absolutely, absolutely. 15:38 Tell us what your needs are? 15:40 Right now... What would you need for? 15:42 Honestly, it is dedicated skilled workers, 15:45 I've had to change my business a little bit more 15:49 because at first, it was all temporary, 15:51 we can talk on the phone, 15:52 maybe help out for maybe a few weeks. 15:55 Now, we have people asking for long term, 15:57 six months, one year, 15:59 permanent working, 16:01 is like okay, you lose a person 16:02 now you really have to find another person. 16:04 And so having skilled workers on hand. 16:08 People are calling me for nanny work, 16:09 colporteuring, various things. 16:11 And I'm like, "Yeah, I don't know." 16:12 But it'd be nice to have a hub of people. 16:15 So that's one. 16:16 The next thing is developing a fund for low client people, 16:21 low income client people. 16:23 So we have many people who know their need, 16:26 but they don't have the finances. 16:28 And so I'm working with a nonprofit organization 16:31 that allows me to utilize them to get tax write offs 16:35 for when people want to donate to the ministry. 16:37 And we're trying to develop a fund just for people 16:40 who do not have enough money for our services. 16:43 Share the word, 16:44 let people know that we're out here, 16:46 I really need a lot more recruits, 16:47 so definitely let people know. 16:49 Pray for us, you know, 16:51 and be willing to be a part. 16:53 That's another aspect because we are a startup, 16:55 many people may want us to be successful, 16:58 like right now. 17:00 It takes time. And it takes work. 17:02 And right now I've kind of been one person 17:04 running the business 17:05 where is good if I have more people involved, 17:07 and God is blessing with people, 17:09 now I have a nurse practitioner 17:10 and have a mental health specialist, 17:12 we were looking for a nutritionist, 17:13 a supervising medical professional, 17:16 a doctor, so we can actually start billing. 17:19 And so we can take away this high price. 17:22 It's not a lot of money. 17:23 But for someone still paying out of pocket, 17:25 it can be a lot for them. 17:27 And if we're able to utilize insurance companies 17:30 to pay some part of what it is to have our services, 17:33 that would be a good need. 17:35 That's wonderful. 17:37 So there are some needs that you have. 17:41 But I mean, people can contact you 17:45 through is there, you have a phone number? 17:46 Yes. Yes. 17:48 Our business line is (423) 521-5058. 17:52 Great. 17:53 Okay. Great. 17:54 And they can contact you that way? 17:56 And... And we also have a website. 17:57 Oh, okay. 17:59 MedicalMissionary.com 18:01 or you can email us at Project144central@gmail.com. 18:07 So is it medicalmissionary.com? 18:09 Oh, actually, did I say medical missionary? 18:11 Yeah. Don't say that. 18:13 It is actually MissionaryAgency.com. 18:15 Missionary agency, 18:17 I was thinking of medical missionary. 18:20 Okay, MissionaryAgency.com 18:23 or the phone where they can call you. 18:26 So if you don't have internet, you can call. 18:28 If you do have internet, you can look it up that way. 18:32 And they can contact you. 18:34 And this is a national situation. 18:38 So anywhere the person is they can contact you 18:43 and then get someone sent out to them. 18:46 Yeah. 18:47 And so what we're trying to do is 18:49 get this why we need more workers, 18:50 I'm trying to get people in different states. 18:52 Right. 18:53 So people don't have to fly far in, 18:54 that's the travel that they pay for. 18:56 But if I can get them in different states, 18:57 that would be goodness, 18:58 I'm really wanting nationwide coverage. 19:00 Right. 19:02 So if you are a medical missionary, 19:04 if you receive this treatment, some time ago, 19:07 and you, you know, 19:10 I'm sorry, the education, the training, 19:12 if you receive the training some time ago, 19:15 and you want somebody to work with, 19:17 you want people to help. 19:19 This is the agency to call and they can plug you 19:22 and hopefully to somebody in your vicinity. 19:25 And then get you working. 19:27 Yeah. 19:28 And helping people to know about Jesus. 19:31 Amen. In the meantime. 19:33 Amen. Yeah, that's beautiful. 19:35 That's beautiful. 19:36 What is your vision for Project 144? 19:40 Honestly, I want a hub of medical missionaries 19:44 in the United States, 19:46 all in the same mindset, 19:48 to utilize their skills to reach souls for Christ. 19:52 That is the overall. 19:54 For the agency itself, 19:55 to be able to have the mission to utilize it 19:58 through one on one, you know, 20:00 whether I come and do consultations with you, 20:03 whether I do coaching with you, 20:05 whether I come to your home and do a training in your home, 20:07 or do a lifestyle program in your home, 20:09 or teach your schools whether teach your churches 20:12 or your businesses to be empowered. 20:15 There's many people don't know a general headache, 20:17 or even hypertension can be changed 20:21 by putting your feet in hot water 20:23 and heat on your kidneys. 20:25 Something as simple, you need medication, 20:27 you don't have to go to the doctors. 20:28 There are basic things, food in your own home 20:32 that can help you with inflammation, 20:33 take some turmeric. 20:35 You know, there are things I would love to educate people, 20:37 so their minds can be free to hear Christ. 20:40 Everything is about opening up the pathway 20:43 to prepare them for higher power. 20:45 That's great. 20:46 Now I do think that, you know, 20:50 you can't and we have to be clear about this. 20:53 If you're on medication... Oh, yeah. 20:55 Raven's not saying stop your medication 20:58 or don't go to your physician. 21:00 No. We're not saying that at all. 21:02 She's saying that there are some natural remedies, though, 21:04 that can help you. 21:06 And, of course, we suggest 21:08 that you discuss everything with your physician. 21:10 Right. 21:12 That's just a prudent thing to do. 21:13 Right. 21:14 But you can do some other things 21:17 and monitor your progress, so that you can see, 21:20 is it working, is it not working. 21:22 Right. 21:23 If it's working, you continue. If it's not working, you don't. 21:26 But by all means, do not stop your medication. 21:30 Right. That's really important. 21:31 Exactly. 21:33 And do not avoid discussing it with your physician. 21:35 Right. 21:37 And that's one of the things we do. 21:38 We work with the physicians, we work with the providers, 21:41 we don't touch the medications, we don't even say, 21:43 "Hey, instead of your medication, do herbs." 21:45 We don't do any of that. 21:46 Okay.

Yes. 22:25 So let's take a look at that. Okay. 22:26 Then we'll talk about it.

Yeah. 23:49 And I think that, again, it's such a necessary service. 23:54 You know, there's such a need for it. 23:56 And when there's a large need that's like a, 24:00 that's a bridge to success. 24:01 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. That's right. 24:03 Now you mentioned earlier 24:05 that at one point you were an atheist? 24:07 Yeah. 24:08 Tell us a little bit about that because that has to... 24:13 To where you are now I mean, you love the Lord, 24:15 it's so obvious that you do. 24:17 And you're an atheist. 24:19 How did you get there? 24:21 And then how did you get to the Lord? 24:23 And I'll make it really quick, 24:24 actually because of some things that happened in my past, 24:28 one of the major things that really made 24:30 a hard thing on me, 24:32 I was abused by someone, 24:34 and they used to pray with me afterwards. 24:36 And so... Sexually abused? 24:37 Yeah. Okay. 24:39 And then they will pray with me. 24:40 So I will think, I've really grew up 24:41 for the longest time thinking that God, 24:43 whatever this God was wanted this to happen to me. 24:47 So I stayed away from Christianity 24:49 for the longest time, 24:50 and took a multitude of things to happen in life 24:53 to make me eventually shift me. 24:56 Sadly, about the age of 14, 24:58 someone else did something very tragic to me 25:00 and purposely tried to get me pregnant. 25:01 And it was horrible. But it never happened. 25:04 And it made me question why not, 25:07 you know, nothing was miraculous happened. 25:09 So for myself, it made me question creation. 25:11 And in wondering, 25:13 why did the stars hang up there in the clouds? 25:14 And where does it come from? 25:16 And people say, you know, 25:17 we're from monkeys and evolution. 25:18 I'd say, "You're from a monkey, I'm not from a monkey." 25:20 So I would start researching all about all world religions, 25:24 various religions, 25:26 wouldn't go to Christianity, though, 25:28 stayed away from that. 25:29 I can't remember what exactly shifted me 25:32 to eventually just say, just read, Raven, 25:34 just read the Bible for yourself 25:36 and see what it is. 25:37 So eventually, I did. 25:38 And in the process, I realized, oh, my word, 25:41 I was completely wrong about this God. 25:44 This is the only God out of all these ones I read, 25:47 that would say, I will help you, 25:50 I'm there for you, I would die for you. 25:51 You know, 25:53 you have this negativity that comes from sin, 25:55 and it start explaining everything to me. 25:58 I wish I could say because of that knowledge 26:01 is shifted and changed me. 26:04 It was a catalyst for God 26:05 to start chipping away some things 26:08 that took a very long time to get to where I am. 26:11 But the process was beautiful enough 26:13 to help me become a little bit more human, 26:16 empathize with others 26:17 and see things from God's point of view 26:19 to help others better. 26:20 Yes, praise God. 26:22 Look at what He took you from... 26:23 Right. 26:25 You know, where were you had all of this pain. 26:28 And yet now you can comfort others 26:31 with the comfort that you've been comforted, right? 26:33 Right. 26:35 And so even though 26:38 the situations are heinous and painful, 26:44 you know, I'm so thankful that God showed you who He is. 26:49 And then He gave you this life work 26:52 to help heal others. 26:54 Amen. What a blessing. 26:55 Amen. What a blessing. 26:57 Do you have a closing thought of 30 seconds? 26:59 Honestly, the only thing I would say is 27:01 never let anything hold you back. 27:03 When God gives you a vision, go for it. 27:06 Utilize Him to do it. 27:07 Don't jump ahead of Him. Don't do it Ishmael. 27:09 Make sure you stick to the vision 27:11 that God has given you. 27:13 But with Him there be many people 27:14 who may discourage you, 27:16 stick focus to the Lord 27:17 because it's not their vision, it's yours. 27:20 And I had to learn that for myself. 27:21 Amen. 27:23 God has given you a vision and a plan. 27:24 And you're working that plan. Amen. 27:26 Thank you so much for being with us. 27:29 I just love you. 27:30 And I'm so thankful that the Lord brought you here. 27:32 Thank you. 27:33 And I'm thankful that the Lord 27:35 brought you here today to watch this program. 27:38 Again, as Raven said, "When you have a vision... 27:42 If God gives you an assignment. 27:44 Obey." 27:45 Because when you do, your journey is just amazing. 27:49 You will see God open amazing doors for you. 27:54 Well, we've reached the end of another program. 27:57 I can't believe it. 27:58 Thank you so much for tuning in. 27:59 Join us next time 28:01 because it just wouldn't be the same without you. |
