1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: You know what I don't know. I can't explain his laughter.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: It's funny, but it's really it's joy. It's a combination.

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: It is really, really amazing what God does for you

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: by waking you up in the morning. I mean that

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: it's a clear sign from God that he ain't through

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: with you yet, y'all.

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: I want y'all to wake up and look at this

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: the right way.

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: If God was through with you, if he didn't have

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: his hand on you no more, you wouldn't wake up.

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: So try to look at it this way.

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: Every time I wake up in the morning, I realize

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: that He has awakened me again because obviously He has

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: something else for me to do, receive, accomplish some and

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: he wakes me up so I can get to that.

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: That right there, man, is a game changer.

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: If you could understand, if you could take on that

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: notion when you wake up. So when you wake up, man,

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: and you realize, Man, what a blessing it is. But

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: how good is it to be co signed by God Almighty.

22
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: I will give you a measure of health, and here

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: you are another day, this incredible gift called the present.

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: That's why they call it the present, because that's what

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: it is. It's a gift and we get to enjoy

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: it whenever he wakes us up.

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: That's how I look at him.

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: Man. If you take that on it, morning has become

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: a whole lot of it. And I wasn't always a

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: morning person. I got trained to become a morning person

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: by a guy named John Walker in Rochester, New York.

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: I was laid off from Ford Motor Company. I had

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: signed up for Amway and I was laid off, and

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: so I was sleeping late.

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: He would call me.

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: At six am every morning.

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: Steve John Walker, how you doing?

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Man?

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Hell? Whoa hey? Man? Have a great day. Click and

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: he'd hang up.

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: And he did that every day for a month till

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: one morning he called me, Steve John Walker, have a great.

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Day, man, How you doing?

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: And before he could hang up, I said, John John

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: look man, it's early man.

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: You don't never say nothing. Click?

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: He hung up, and so he did it again. I

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: picked up fall I said hello. He said, why do

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: you wake up like that? I said, what you mean, man,

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: I'm sleeping, He said, but when you wake up, why

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: do you wake up man?

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: So grumpy? So down?

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: Like you know, man like I'm bothering you. I said, John,

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: it's six o'clock in the morning. He said, yeah, man,

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: but it's something you never had before. He said, this

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: is a gift for God. I'm really disappointing you that

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: you're not getting a lesson. So I thought about it.

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: So the next morning I said, I'm gonna be waiting

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: on this dude right here. He called me at five.

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: He called me at six o'clock the next morning. He said,

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: Steve is John Walker.

62
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: How you doing?

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: I said, Hey, John, how you doing? It's Steve Man.

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. He said, Nah, that's what I'm talking about.

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: And he hung the phone up. And for a month

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: after that he called me every morning and I got

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: up and I get up at five fifteen.

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Knocker.

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: What you're not, finna do is look at me and

70
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: think I am I don't know nothing, I'm stupid. I

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: don't get the lesson. And that's what changed me into

72
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: a morning person.

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:41,000
