Yeah, I was introduced 42 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: to it by watching a Different World when I was 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: a kid. 44 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, media, that's I told somebody else I was 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: on another interview. I'm like, you see something on media 46 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: that should automatically be a reflaged, Right, How they promoted 47 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: on the teev Yeah, because how many black marriages do 48 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: you see promoting well on TV? How many healthy churches 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: do you see promoter on TV? Right? What do you 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: see on TV that's really good that's promoted. 51 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: Especially when it comes to black people? 52 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: Exactly so. But high school Roman Step Team I used 53 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 3: to watch, I told somebody else today on Facebook. I 54 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: was like, I used to watch Stop. This was in 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: the nineties. Every day after school we would do those stomps. 56 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: I knew all the sororities, steps, chants, calls, colors, symbols. 57 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: I knew all about all of them in high school 58 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: before even went to the college. Yeah, so yeah, I 59 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: knew about it. You know, you know, you know they 60 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: out there, these are the people that run the mitt. 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: I'm a social worker, so ain't in those mixtiveship programs 62 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: for these youth out here? If the diviust people are 63 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: not doing it. Most of the time, it ain't getting 64 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: done in the Black community. And it's said black people 65 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: got to step up, period. The church, the Black church 66 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: got to step up. Everything is not about just I mean, 67 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: we need to do the prayer meetings, we need to 68 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: do the worship meetings, but we need to build the 69 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: community as well. Yeah, and so because there's a depth, 70 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: the enemy always comes for the deficit. He comes for 71 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. He gonna bring you the 72 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: no good man when he know you ain't never had 73 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: a daddy. You know what I'm saying. He gonna bring 74 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: you the sorority when he know you they have sisterhood 75 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: right right. So he's gonna come for the deficit. He's 76 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: gonna say, like, oh, there are no community, there's no 77 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 3: community structure here, there's nothing for that youth to do. 78 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: You can feel this need with this, but it's gonna 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: cost you this. And so that's the whole thing. And 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: not like again, it's not a personal attack. And I 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: know it's it feels personal because this is a personal thing, 82 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: but the goal is really to just prevent people from 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: finding out when it's too late. I think if it is, 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: look if I'm wrong that there's no idols connected, which 85 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 3: I know it is is because you can see the 86 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 3: symbols on the crest right, you see the names, it's 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: written in the rituals. You know it's there. But if 88 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: I'm wrong and I get to heaven and I was 89 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: wrong and the black breeks out there, what did I lose? 90 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 4: Yeah? 91 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: But if you're right, and if I'm. 92 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: Right, and what the scripture says that our doubt does 93 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: have their part in the leg of fire, then what 94 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: did I lose? Yeah? 95 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: You know when I listened to your story and I 96 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: was doing research on you and also just knowing bits 97 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: and pieces about your your upbringing when it comes to 98 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: your father, you know, pretty much transition and stuff. I 99 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: felt like from you. I think that you I feel 100 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: like you wanted to have a sense of community, a 101 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: sense of belonging. So when you expressed earlier about you 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: being groom and I know you was being groomed by 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: uh or you was, I don't I feel like groom 104 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: has a negative connotation, but you was being pretty much 105 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: positioned to be a delta. 106 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: You wanted to be a delta. 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: When you got to college there was no deltas, and 108 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: then you pledged as she rose to me. I felt 109 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: like this was your sense of family. 110 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: It was part of it. I think I think it's 111 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: it is, Yeah, I mean it's They tell you that 112 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: it's sisters and scholarship and service. So family, the intention 113 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: across is one of the intentions of all of the organizations. Right. Family. 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 3: The scripture sayer is that he puts the lonely in families. 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: So family is God's intention for humanity. All humans desire community. 116 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fight, and this is. 117 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: Why in the penile system the punishment is to isolate, 118 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: and the law person is isolated, the crazier they get it. 119 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: And I'm outside to say crazy. It's not political. 120 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: Correct, but that is true scruples. Look at the pandemic. 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: Look what happens to all these people who were isolated 122 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: because they had no choice. 123 00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: And look at Rastisa. Yeah, think about but that's isolation. 124 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: I shouldn't do tell you right, right, right? 125 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: You impact your impects your decision making, and loneliness impact 126 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: your decision making. I you know, I don't shy away 127 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 3: from any of the core decisions I made in my life. 128 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: I have to be accountable for them. I have to 129 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: look at them. I have to process them so that 130 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: I don't repeat them, you know what I'm saying. And 131 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: I had deficits. I had things I was looking for. 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: I wanted to give back, I wanted to be important, 133 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: I wanted to have influence. Yeah, these are human things. 134 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: These are not things that most humans don't have, right, 135 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not I'm not 136 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: unique in that I wanted those things. I'm not unique 137 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: in that I wanted connections and that I and I 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: and I'm also not unique because I saw value in 139 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: these organizations. I still see value in them. I just 140 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: also see the deception and the danger in them, the 141 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: eternal danger. So I'm I'm I'm not and so because 142 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: of that, to me, that outweighs the value. Right. I 143 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: still see the good that they do. I still love 144 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: the people that are inside of them. I don't think 145 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: they're wicked or either people unless they're liars and cheaters 146 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: and they hurt people and then try to lie about it. 147 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: I know it's people, it's ade these organizations. I'm not 148 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: mining about that. I'm gonna be honest about that. But 149 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: I saw the value in them. I had needs. I 150 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: had deficits in my life. I still have deficity. I'm 151 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: a human. I'm until we pass into eternity, we will 152 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 3: be flawed. 153 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 154 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: So I still have deficits. I still have things that 155 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: I that I need, that I want that I'm in 156 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: therapy for. 157 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, of course, of course. So when did 158 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: you become exposed to African religion and what sparked your 159 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: interests and too joinings? And this is going to tie 160 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: into her the announcement, which I thought was just like wow, 161 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: but how did you get up? 162 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: So I am because I thought God, because God was 163 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: my talking back to me, and I my life went 164 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: downhill so fast. So suddenly I didn't understand why how 165 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 3: am I doing all the right things. I'm going to church, 166 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: going to work.

How is my life going downhill? 167 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: And how is God not answering me? 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 4: Right? 169 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: Because I was one who could read my Bible and 170 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: get an answer. I was one who could see things 171 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: turned around. I could make a praier request and see 172 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: see the answer. Right. I did not get that I 173 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: reached the point in my life some things had happened 174 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: and it was perfect. You know, It's related to my 175 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 3: career and everything went down, and I got no response 176 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: from the God that I was calling on, which was 177 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: I was calling on. I was calling on the Most 178 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: High God. And because that along and because of what 179 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: I was going through, was I thought was racially motivated. 180 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: I thought I was me and racially discriminated against, and 181 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: also considering all of the racial things that were happening 182 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: in the country at the time, when like Sanja Bland 183 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: and yeah, Avon Martin and there was no justice happening. 184 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: That's right, because you lost my job, right. 185 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, how our children are being killed, young people, 186 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: young black people being killed, and we're going to the 187 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: courts and we're praying and we're not black people, are 188 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: not bad people. Why is there no justice for us? 189 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 3: I could not reconcile that. So on the heels of 190 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: race discrimination, death, lost all those things, I'm like, where 191 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: is God? So I think those questions that I had, 192 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: and I think the enemy knows when there's a deficit. 193 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: The enemy knows when something is wrong. I believe that 194 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 3: my attention started getting turned to like internet propaganda and 195 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: falsehoods about like white man's religion and this is not 196 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: our God. All my truth because even if you read 197 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 3: the Bible, you can clearly see that that hebrews our 198 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: brown people, the people that they were conquering our brown people. 199 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like Canaanites are Africans, Like 200 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: the Bible is staged in in Africa, like matter Africa. 201 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: Let's be really so to hear stupid things like this 202 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 3: is the white man's religion. Where Christianity clearly went to 203 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: Africa before I went to Europe. It's just doesn't make 204 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: any sense. But I didn't know that, so I fell 205 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: into things like narratives from movies like Rooks, like thinking 206 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: that Christianity was forced on Africans. But that is not true, 207 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: and so it's and it's it's a falsehood that there 208 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: may be some elements of it that's true, but they're 209 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 3: mostly as falsehoods. But I left that pulled me away 210 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 3: from my faith in God and make me seek out 211 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: other gods. So if someone asked me questions like, well, 212 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: christian you know, Jesus is not your god, Those are 213 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 3: not the god of your ancestors. Who are the gods 214 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: of your ancestors? Who did your people pray to before 215 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: they washed up on the shores of North America right. 216 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: Asking questions like that made me curious to say, yeah, 217 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 3: because if God was really for black people, why would 218 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: we be going through these things? Yea, you know, And 219 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: I started to ask those questions. But we always put 220 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 3: the burdener proof on God instead of looking at the 221 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: enemy that causes race division, the enemy that causes murder, 222 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: the enemy that causes children to be killed without justice, 223 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: you understand. So I was looking at God like you 224 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: are bad. You did this when I should have been 225 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 3: looking at myself or looking at humanity, or looking at 226 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: the enemy to say, like, you know what I need God? 227 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: So I let it pull me away. 228 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: And I tried to get rid of us through water, 229 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: and then the next time, what was it fire? 230 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: That's the whole situation. 231 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: God is tired of us man, So that's. 232 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 3: But he's long suffering, you know, and he that's why 233 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: he delays the judgment, you know what I mean, like 234 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: to give people opportunity. 235 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: And that's a fact. I read that in the Bible too. 236 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he delays this judge. He's long suffering towards 237 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: us and people people mock him because they're to say 238 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: he ain't nobody to come in, No, God, he ain't 239 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: coming back, he ain't gonna do nothing. But no, it's that 240 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: he waits to give give us because he don't want 241 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: none of us to hear it. 242 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: Because I feel like he felt bad after that that flood. 243 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 3: Well, so, so the thing about the flood is if 244 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: you read the Book of Enoch, and I'm not I'm 245 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 3: not saying people should go out and read it, but 246 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: I'm curious, so I read a lot mm hmm. But 247 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: if you read the Book of Enoch, the reason why 248 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: he had to send the flood is because the falling Angels. 249 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: The when when the Bible talks about Lucifer being cast 250 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: down with the third of the angels of heaven, so 251 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 3: those ain't began to mix with men who just says, 252 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: they created giants, and they also began to mix with 253 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 3: the animals. They began to have sex and reproduce with 254 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: the animals, so they created these mush these hybrids of animals. 255 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: So this is why God had to send the flood, 256 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: because that was the only way to destroy these big 257 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: supernatural things who are now mixed with the material of 258 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: the genetic material of falling angels plus humans, falling angels 259 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: plus animals. So they had to be drowned. Yeah, which 260 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: is why I mean, even if you look in I'm 261 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: an drop something, it's called the Marine Kingdom. It's part 262 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: of the Kingdom of darkness. Is like I know, people 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: don't talk about it, but like mermaids and all that 264 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: kind of stuff, and that's where all those things come from. 265 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: That's the whole. I mean, you know, the ocean is 266 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: only they've only discovered like what three percent of the ocean. 267 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, the ocean is different, and. 268 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 3: That's why, like this is where most of those people, 269 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: most of those beings who were eternal, they had those spirits, 270 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: this is where they live. 271 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why you shouldn't mess with the ocean. Be careful, Yeah, 272 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: seriously careful. 273 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: So but yeah, but it's the thing like a nia, 274 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: a lot of spiritual systems, like even even when I 275 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: was practicing the African religion, Like they know about the 276 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: Marine Kingdom. They understand I'm not even gonna sorry saying 277 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 3: their names, but they know they know what, they know 278 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: what it is, they know what I'm talking about. But 279 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: that's what that's where the flood comes from. The flood 280 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: comes from the mixing of these these fallen angels with 281 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: humans and Noah's Noah's family was pure. It wasn't that 282 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 3: they didn't have sin, it was that they hadn't yet mixed. 283 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 3: They had to been mixed. 284 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, they had. 285 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: Their blood had been defoiled so he could preserve them 286 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: as pure humans. 287 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: Listen, God's favor ain't fair. 288 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: Funny every name. I like your name too. That's how 289 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: I got off into worshiping strange gods and just calling 290 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: on this thinking about like culture and what's African? What's fine? 291 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: Looking for identity? Connection? Yeah? 292 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: I did not connection? 293 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? 294 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 295 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: What were some of the reasons that turned you away? 296 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: Because I feel like once you started to see stuff, 297 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: you was like, oh no. 298 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 3: Once that turned you away from African religion? Yeah yeah, 299 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 3: I mean I saw supernaturally. I mean it was obvious 300 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: that it was spiritually powered. Yeah, it was obvious that 301 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 3: there was spiritual powers involved because you could see things. 302 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: I saw people like eating glass and being possessed and stuff. 303 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 3: I mean, you see, the spirits will show up, it 304 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: will come to the party if people like that. 305 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. How did you feel when I saw stuff like that? 306 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: I was intriguing. It was like, oh, this is like 307 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: this is real. Yeah, because and you can like pray 308 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 3: for things and they'll give you stuff. Yeah, Now if 309 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 3: you leave and you piss them off, if they become 310 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: benevolent to it, they will take that stuff back or 311 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: try to harm you or send you a warning, like 312 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: if you get a devnation, they will warn you or 313 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: they will attack you. So it's real. There are powers 314 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 3: are real, Like spiritual powers are real. This is why 315 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: people can read tarot cards and you know that's a 316 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: type of devnation which the Bible speaks against. But that 317 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: stuff is real. Yeah, that stuff is real. So I'm 318 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 3: not saying that those things don't work or you don't 319 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 3: get power, you don't get knowledge, you don't get information. 320 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: You can get wealth, you can get money from that 321 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: kind of things. You can do money baths and all 322 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: like that. But is it God. The scripture says you 323 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: can you can go he says Jesus is the only 324 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: legal door. It said you can go in another way, 325 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: but then you will be like a robber. So there 326 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 3: are other spiritual ways to get knowledge, to get information, 327 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 3: to get money and all that stuff. Right, but it's 328 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 3: just it's just illegal. It's just not the most high 329 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: God's way. It's not the putre way. It's not the door. 330 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 3: Jesus is the door. So that stuff works. I saw 331 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 3: those things. I saw it again. I saw it producing 332 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: fruit in my life. I was happy. I was I 333 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 3: would walk into Oh you look so beautiful, you look 334 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 3: so peaceful. I felt great. Nothing bad happened to me 335 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: while I was practicing to Ephi. Yeah that's somebody like 336 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: said to me before, like why did you even leave? 337 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 3: Like nothing bad happened to you. It didn't take that. 338 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 3: I heard God's voice tell me this is wrong, you know. 339 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: And is it safe to say that your husband also 340 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: played a part in you leaving as well. 341 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: I think I used him. 342 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: I think so too. 343 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: I think I used him, that's, you know, to help 344 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: wake me up because I was like, I was good, 345 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 3: I was satisfied, like I didn't have no I was good. 346 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 3: I was I had money, I was traveling, you know 347 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But that's the whole thing. Like you 348 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: can't look at blessings and think that the enemy can't 349 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 3: bless you too, the devil can't bless you too. And 350 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: just because your life, just because your life is going well, 351 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: don't mean you have the blessings of God. Just because 352 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 3: you got name brand. You traveling. You know what I'm saying, 353 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: you're happy. That doesn't mean that you that you have 354 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: a blessing of God on your life. 355 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 356 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 3: And so because I was able to hear God's voice 357 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 3: when he called me, he said, you are deceived. What 358 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 3: you're doing is wrong. These are not deities. These are 359 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: not the way. Because I thought these were just they 360 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 3: were just like culturally significant, specific ways to get to 361 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 3: the most. I got, Yeah, that's what I had told 362 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: myself that these au risha, these deities were just another 363 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 3: way to get to God. But the scripture says there's 364 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 3: only one way. And so I came to face with 365 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: that truth and I had to make a decision of 366 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: do you do you believe this or do you believe that? 367 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: And then he's saying here, I heard the voice of 368 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 3: the Lord say this is you are deceived. So because 369 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 3: of that, and then when I had the experience one 370 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 3: time I had read my Bible, when like almost four 371 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 3: years at that point I had the experience when I 372 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 3: did finally crack it open, it was like, oh my God, 373 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: it was a very real personal encounter. And I think 374 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: that's what makes the difference when people have spiritual breakthrough. 375 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: They need an encounter with God. They need an encounter 376 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: with the most i God. Like like the story in 377 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: the Bible of the woman at the wheel. She went 378 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 3: there to get water for the day. She was just 379 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: doing her chores right, and she met Jesus there and 380 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 3: he had an accounter where he told her. He told 381 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 3: her about herself, right. He even played her a little bit. 382 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 3: He even kind of let her know, like I see 383 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 3: what you're doing, and I know you out here living 384 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: dirty in these streets, but I got you, right, He 385 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 3: told her about herself. She went and told everybody off 386 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 3: of that. She changed the whole life after that. But 387 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: it was what she had an encounter with God, and 388 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 3: people are not. People have to be positioned and shown 389 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 3: how and have opportunities to have encounters with Jesus so 390 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: that their life can change. That's what changed my life. 391 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: It wasn't that. It wasn't that one of the spirits 392 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: came to me, or I had a bad devination. It 393 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 3: wasn't none of that. I literally had an encounter with 394 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 3: God when I read the Word and it refreshed me 395 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: and it let me know, this is real, This is 396 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 3: what you need in your life. This is true is 397 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: the light. And so because of that I made I 398 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: made a faith decision for my life, because of a 399 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 3: real spiritual encounter. And then I saw things after that 400 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: that confirmed it, like like what. 401 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: Is gonna be on this we almost finished, almost finished, 402 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: but what is some one of the things that you 403 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: saw because you got. 404 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: One time I had, like when I got deliverance. One 405 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: time deliverances. It's a process. But there was one time 406 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 3: where like I had to renounce. I was renouncing my 407 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: affiliation with the Oratia right with those African with those 408 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 3: Yearba gods, those Yearba deities, and so you you do 409 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: like verbal like you know, I break I renounced my 410 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 3: oath to this god. I announced my oaths to this guy. 411 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 3: I announced, I renounced this. I renounced that. I let 412 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: it go, ask for forgiveness. But then even just like 413 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: hearing those spirits talk through my body, that that further 414 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 3: led me. I had never seen or heard anything like 415 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: that in real life before. I didn't even know it 416 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: was real. Like I've seen that movie Portuguist a little bit, 417 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 3: and I just I've never really even though those stories 418 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: in the Bible they talked about that, I just never 419 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 3: it was never real to me. 420 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: You know what's so funny. I did an interview with 421 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: this lady. She her story was about how her mother 422 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: and her are sisters. So that means that her mom's dad, 423 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: which is her granddad, raped her. Right, and when she 424 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: was walking one day they was living in the room. 425 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: This is when she's grown, and you know she is 426 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: very like like she's very like spiritual and religious. Right, 427 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: God woke her up, she said this God woke her 428 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: up and she was like, he was like, I want 429 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: you to hear something. I want you to go and 430 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: go by your mother's door and listen. So she was like, 431 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? 432 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 3: God? 433 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: Like it's three o'clock in the morning. Ya yah, yeah, 434 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: Like I'm tired. So she kept waking her up. She said, 435 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: when she went by her mother's door, she heard demons 436 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: and I said, what did it sound like? And she 437 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: made the sound and when I tell you my comments, section. 438 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: Was like no. 439 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: They was like I believe it. People were saying how 440 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: they was hearing and stuff, and she was like I 441 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. She was like she I think she 442 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: recorded it and she let her mother hear it, and 443 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: she was like, you know, our mom been through so 444 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: much since she was a kid, and she was like 445 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: you could just tell that them demons, we was just 446 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: all around her just like freaking have it. 447 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 3: Trauma opens the door to demonic possession and y occupation 448 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 3: because they can they don't have They can be in 449 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: you and not possess you. They can hold space in 450 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 3: your body, but they don't have to be possession and 451 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 3: tied and intels like full ownership, like they can fully 452 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: take over. Kay. So they but they can still be 453 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 3: in there and not you, not be fully possessed, but 454 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: they can still occupy at an oppress. So but hearing 455 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: them talk through me, that's crazy. I know it's true 456 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 3: because maybe I have I told you on the therapists, 457 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: I have clients that girl they voice to switch up. 458 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 3: I'll be like really, And the thing about that, let 459 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 3: me tell you why that's significant because biologically, scientifically, everybody's 460 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: voice is like a fingerprint. 461 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but now your voice is your voice and 462 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 4: it's only yours. Yeah, evennything changed it intentionally changed your voice, 463 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: it would still only be yours. 464 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 3: There are things that are markers in everyone's voice that. 465 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 2: Is only Yeah, that's a fact. 466 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: So for so when you hear something. When you hear that, 467 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: you know and then so so the voice doesn't only change, 468 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: though sometimes it's the facial expressions of the purpison that 469 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: will change. They will they can completely shift to a 470 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: different face. Occupation happening. So I experienced that. But then 471 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 3: even after that, like when I got home, I guess 472 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: some people would call it like paranormal paranormal activity. But 473 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 3: there were doors opening and closing. Let my house call 474 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 3: when swept through, because they were angry because I had 475 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 3: evicted them, So they came back to try to scare 476 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 3: me because fear opens the door again for them to occupy. 477 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 3: And all these are our disembodied spirits, their spirits without 478 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: a body. So from the flood, yeah, from the flood 479 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 3: of Noah, we're talking about eternal eternal beings that that 480 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 3: you die, right, They go on and on all generation 481 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 3: to generations to generation, and they don't have a body, 482 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 3: and they're looking for everybody. In the scriptures, when Jesus 483 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: came up under Demoniac and he said what are your name? 484 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 3: What is your name? He said, we are leading, and 485 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: they said, don't cast us out, can you know? They said, 486 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 3: don't send us to hell, don't send us to torment 487 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: before our time. He said, can you can you command 488 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: us to go into the pigs. M you heard that 489 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 3: Bible story when Jesus cast out the demons and he 490 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: and they asked to go into the pigs. They need 491 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 3: a body, they need to occupy something. Otherwise, they don't 492 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: feel rest, they don't have peace, they don't have rest, 493 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: they don't feel good. They can't exercise their desires. Their 494 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 3: desires may be to smoke a cigarette, it may be 495 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 3: to have sex, it may be to eat subway soundiches 496 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 3: every day. I don't know they have they have desires. 497 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 3: They are disembodied spirits. They have desires, they have thoughts, 498 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: and they want to occupy human beings. And so even 499 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 3: though I had soft, supernatural things when I was practicing 500 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: the African religion, when I came out of it and 501 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 3: I and I had to go through that deliverance myself 502 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 3: and I experienced that those are the things that further 503 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: solidified I don't want to be involved. I don't want 504 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 3: to be on the wrong side of this. Yeah, I 505 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: want to I want my body to be a temple 506 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: of the Holy Spirit, the one the one that that 507 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 3: brings life, not the ones that take away life, not 508 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 3: the ones that destroyed. And so I had to make 509 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 3: every decision I make is I want to be on 510 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 3: the right side of this, you know what I mean? 511 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: And so yeah, so, And that's when I feel like, 512 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: once you made that decision to leave that African religion, 513 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: you also made a decision to denouce your sorority. 514 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 3: Later on, not right away. It took time because because 515 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: even when I did go to get the deliverance from 516 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: the African religion, they told me that I need to 517 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: denounce the sorority. But I didn't agree. I didn't understand 518 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: what they were talking about. I didn't write album. They 519 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: didn't explain it to me either. If they had taught me, 520 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: if they had shared with me the things I'm sharing 521 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 3: with you today, I probably could have made a better choice. 522 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 3: But because I didn't see it and they didn't know, 523 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: they just doing what they've been trying to do as 524 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: deliverance ministers. You know, they didn't know the connection. If 525 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 3: they had made the connection for me to the false gods, 526 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: to the covenants with death, with the oaths, the sins, 527 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 3: I would have been able to say, you know what, 528 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 3: the sorority gotta go to but it took me years. 529 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 3: It took me, let's see nineteen twenty World two. It 530 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 3: took me three years later. Wow, I think you have 531 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: the African religion to renounce the sorority. But again you 532 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 3: asked me, how did I lose? Long faith? God stopped 533 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 3: talking to me because I because I pledged, and he 534 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 3: did not tell me that until nine years later. I 535 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: heard God laugh at me. I'm like, you laught. He said, 536 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 3: let your God save you. And that's when he impressed 537 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 3: upon me, like you play it you bow that that's 538 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 3: when you were in mind because I didn't even remember 539 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: bowing until he showed me that. It was seeing that 540 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: the that he was against the organizations. That's when he 541 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: showed me you kneel at an altar? Now mad you 542 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: even inside the African religion, I was being I just 543 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 3: got initiated to be a priestess. You're not that right? Yeah, 544 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: I know what it takes to build and to raise 545 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: up an altar. 546 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you definitely have a very what's the word. 547 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, no, Like I can tell 548 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: like the way you the way you can spit the Bible, 549 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: but it's digestible like I'm following you. I can understands 550 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: my Bible, but like the way you the way you 551 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: were able to like correlate things and like, but you 552 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: still what's the word? 553 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 5: You know? 554 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: But I just feel like I can tell that you 555 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: are of spirit if that makes sense? 556 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well so let me tell you though, so 557 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 3: I know what an alter? 558 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: Does that make sense to you? Okay? 559 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: Okay? But in that even though I spent all that 560 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: time raising up altars, tending to altars, doing these worship 561 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: things inside this African religion, almost about four years, right, 562 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 3: it never dawned on me that when I pledged that 563 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: was an altar in that room. I never recognized the 564 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: presence of the elements, the plant, the pictures, the fire, 565 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 3: the table, the cloth, and the bowing. All of that 566 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 3: is present at each of any secret society induction or 567 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 3: initiation ritual they doing that there's an altar present. This 568 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 3: is why. So people be like, oh, I didn't make 569 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 3: my organization and idol. You didn't make it an idol 570 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 3: in your mind, you don't think you did, but you 571 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 3: literally bowed at an altar. I didn't know that until 572 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: the day I was doing my laundry on August twenty second, 573 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, when God said, I hate this. It's 574 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: a sin against me. It's it's a false it's worshiping 575 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: a false God. I didn't know that was an altar 576 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 3: until he reminded me. And I saw myself in that 577 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: black dress taking that oath on my knees. I never 578 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: even knew ideas. I never even remembered that, and I lived. 579 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: I pledged people after that, I led people in those rituals, 580 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 3: and I still did not remember until until that veil 581 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 3: was lifted off my face, my eyes, because it's like 582 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 3: it's like you don't even it's like a film you 583 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 3: don't see. You don't think about that stuff. Yeah, just 584 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 3: thinking about like this is good, this. 585 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: Is this, especially want it? 586 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you don't think about that stuff. So I 587 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: didn't know. I didn't know it. He and that's when 588 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 3: he said, you bowed to another god. Let let your 589 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: sororities the God save you. Let them vindicate you when 590 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: someone does wrong against you, said, he said, let those 591 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: poodle idols save you, not me. He said, I won't 592 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: share my glory. And that's when I knew why for 593 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: almost to those two years, God did not speak to me. 594 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 3: He did not deal with me. And this is why 595 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: I decided, maybe he's not my God. Maybe he's not 596 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 3: the god for black people, because why are black people 597 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: not getting justice? Maybe this is why I need to 598 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: go to find an African God. 599 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people think like that too. 600 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what happened. That's what happened is I got 601 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 3: shut down, but he shut me down because I sin first. 602 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 3: It's only seeing that separates us from God. If we 603 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 3: hear our play, if we help ourselves that confess our sin, 604 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: he will connect with us. But he's holy, so he 605 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: if we don't, if we're still trying to do everything 606 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 3: that's against him and still want him to come and 607 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 3: have conversation with us, he ain't gonna do it. Yeah. Yeah, 608 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 3: he got boundaries, he got standards. Yeah, I'm like, and 609 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 3: we be trying to reinforce our standards when to come 610 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: down to dating, the relationships and friendships and jobs, and 611 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 3: we think the Holy God doesn't have standard. 612 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 5: He t standards too, So walk us through. 613 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 2: You made you and did the denouncement? Did you have 614 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: to do anything? Why are you laughing? 615 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: Because I know they gotta be a process where you 616 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: also have to protect yourself, because is it possible that 617 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: these organizations can come back and sue you. 618 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. I ain't signed on in Diego. I 619 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 3: know they make it. I know they asking people now 620 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 3: to sign non disclosure agreements, but I didn't sign one. 621 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: Wow, that's interesting. 622 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: And I'm not I'm not infringed up on their copyright 623 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 3: right right, So, and I'm not bound by their membership 624 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 3: agreements anymore. Right if they're so concerned about if they 625 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 3: was concerned about me, they need to stop emailing me. 626 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 3: That's what they need to. 627 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: Do to get you back. 628 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 3: No, No, I don't know what they I don't think 629 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 3: so I don't think they're trying to get me back. 630 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 3: But they still email like they need to clear out 631 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: their records and stop emailing me like they I've gotten 632 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: emails about I blocked them for the most part of 633 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: I got some recent third party emails. But before I 634 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: blocked them, I was getting confidential information about their real estate, 635 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 3: about internal struggles all of that. Oh, look, y'all need 636 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 3: to get it together. So I ain't worry about I mean, 637 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 3: even if they tried to, even if they did, and 638 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 3: what y'all, I couldn't even blame them if they did, 639 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 3: because this is about money.

So I think this has been 685 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: an amazing conversation. And I love when I can talk 686 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: to anybody about the Bible and Jesus and God and 687 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: all those good things. So you know, I really appreciate you. 688 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm coming on the show. But we got two more 689 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: questions and that's it. Okay, based on your experience, what 690 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: key consideration is or factors would you advise others to 691 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: take into account before pleasure? 692 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 2: You said, based on what your experiences? 693 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: Okay, so this part of your life, like, what are 694 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: some things you think people should consider before they join 695 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: an organization. 696 00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, one thing I think we should consider is, uh, 697 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 3: look at the whole picture. Yeah, the side of something 698 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 3: that's good or bad, right, and the whole picture. It 699 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: could even be things that are not necessarily directly connected 700 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 3: to the individual, but it's a part of the picture. 701 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,959 Speaker 3: So say, for example, like the fact, like I said, 702 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 3: look at the fruit, right, the fact that people give 703 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 3: up their like sacrifice their bodies. Even even if that 704 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 3: individual person doesn't, there are people somewhere in the world 705 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 3: frequently who are literally sacrificing their bodies to join these organizations. There, 706 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 3: even if they'll say that it's the non hazel organization, 707 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 3: which is again looking at the whole picture that on paper, 708 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 3: they're non hazel organizations, but being somebody turned around to 709 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 3: hate you, that's deception. Look at that as part of 710 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 3: the whole picture. If you see that people have died 711 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 3: or are being hurt or beat or being missed treated, 712 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 3: or being verbally abused or emotionally abused, gas lid, shunned, bullied, 713 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,479 Speaker 3: consider that as part of the whole picture. Because what 714 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 3: are the like, what spirits would prompt people to behave 715 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 3: that way? What spirits will prompt people to accept that? Right? 716 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 3: So you have to look at myself and say, what 717 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 3: would make me accept those things for myself? Is that 718 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 3: the spirit of God in me? It's that reflective of 719 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 3: the identity of a daughter of the Most High God. 720 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 3: Certainly not so because of that, because of that being 721 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: part of the picture, that's something that I should have 722 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 3: evaluated to say I shouldn't do this, you see what 723 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 3: I'm saying, and then really kind of get the other 724 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 3: thing I would say, So look at the whole picture, 725 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 3: And the other thing I would say is what's the 726 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 3: end goal of your life? You know what I'm saying, Like, 727 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 3: if it is if you are a person that you 728 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 3: watch people die and you know that you know people die, 729 00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You don't know me, and 730 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: know nobody knows when they're going to die. You can die. 731 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 3: I could leave out die for being today and pass away. 732 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 3: I don't know when I'm gonna die, So I have 733 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 3: to live my life in a way that says that 734 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 3: I am making arrangements for whatever may happen when I 735 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 3: leave here. Consider that, or you make such a decision, 736 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 3: because that's how you should live. When you make every decision, 737 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 3: every decision, even like if you eat food, like a 738 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 3: lot of people say, say their grace before they eat 739 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 3: their food because they don't know if there's something in 740 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 3: that food that can hurt them or kill them, so 741 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 3: they make this. You make decisions based off of what 742 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 3: do you want for your life? How long do you 743 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 3: want to live, how healthy do you want to live? 744 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 3: And what do you want? What do you want for 745 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 3: yourself after you're not living. 746 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 2: For your soul spirit? 747 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, make decisions based off of those things. What's your 748 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 3: end game, what's your end goal? And look and count 749 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 3: that as a part of all of those things. And 750 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 3: so now it's so much I could say, but I mean, ultimately, 751 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 3: I guess the reason why we are saying these things 752 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 3: is because what has to stop happening is the mixture 753 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 3: in the church. Yeah, even though these are professional organizations, 754 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 3: professional service or organizations, people are mixing them and bringing 755 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 3: it into the church and saying it's okay. That's definitely 756 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 3: what's got to stop. So ultimately we're talking, we're blasting 757 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 3: and talking about it because of that, not necessarily trying 758 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 3: to stop people from pledge or trying to necessarily I mean, 759 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 3: we want that because we don't want people to be 760 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 3: sending against a guy. I want people to be saying, 761 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 3: want to evangelize the laws, right, But for me, it's 762 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 3: the mixture. It's the telling people that it's okay when 763 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 3: it's not. Be upfront and tell people what they getting into. 764 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 3: Be upfront and tell them what it really is so 765 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 3: they can make an educated decision, so that they don't 766 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 3: feel tricked, so that they don't feel mislad. That's why I'm. 767 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, somebody popped in my head he'd be 768 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: wearing his his colors on. 769 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 2: The pool pit. I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna. I'm 770 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 2: gonna say name, you. 771 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 5: Know, saying like. 772 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, last, but not least, what advice would you give 773 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: to others who are considering denouncing their affiliation with a 774 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: Greek organization or just a similar organization overall. 775 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 3: Besides, do it now, don't wait, don't let another day pass. No, 776 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 3: I would say, the best thing you can do is 777 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 3: just ask God for grace and mercy to do a 778 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 3: three day fast. Mm hm, three day fast. Don't eat 779 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 3: no food. You know what I'm saying. And if your 780 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 3: life is important to you, if eternal life is important 781 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 3: to you, if you consider yourself to be a follower 782 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ and you want to have eternal life, right, 783 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 3: if any of those things ring truth for that person, 784 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 3: take a chance. You know that move, you know coming 785 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 3: to America and may be on the train where they 786 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 3: think she'd be like, go on, honey, take a chance, 787 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 3: take a chance. Turn down your plate for three days. 788 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 3: I ain't even say it, three twenty four hour days. 789 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 3: I'm saying, Just do like six am to six pm 790 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 3: or six am to three pm, and don't eat. And 791 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 3: during the times that you would eat, every single time 792 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 3: that you would eat, that you feel hungry, pray and 793 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 3: ask God to show you the truth. Say Lord, I 794 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 3: heard this. I don't know. I don't really believe it, 795 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna take a chance to show me the truth. 796 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 3: Are you against this? Does this make you sad? Is 797 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,479 Speaker 3: this a sin? Before you? Am I being deceived? Pray 798 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 3: those things for three days from six am to three 799 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 3: pm and wait for your answer. Genuinely, I'm telling.
