Thank you so 00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:41.360 much. Like I told y 'all, there's some people 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.459 you just wait on. There's some people that you 00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:47.259 just wait patiently because you know that it's 00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:49.839 going to be good when you finally get them. And 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.120 then there's some that you're like, all right, 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.139 look, keep playing games. I ain't even about 00:05:54.139 --> 00:05:57.600 to waste no more time. But that's it. that you 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.920 just like, you know what? All right, all right, 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.300 I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait and see is one 00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:08.970 of them that you just wait on. So we're gonna 00:06:08.970 --> 00:06:12.019 play a game because we're gonna start it off 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:14.860 with a little game and then we're gonna go into 00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:18.560 some questions. Okay. This one, this game is 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.060 called Pastor Publisher or Wife. Pastor Publisher 00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:28.410 or Wife. So I'm gonna give you a scenario. if 00:06:28.410 --> 00:06:32.129 you gotta tell me which category that would fall 00:06:32.129 --> 00:06:39.439 into which white which version of alison is so 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:45.149 and up um -hmm pastor publisher or wife yep which 00:06:45.149 --> 00:06:50.310 version of you is so and up all right so somebody 00:06:50.310 --> 00:06:58.149 submit a book two months late they give you a 00:06:58.149 --> 00:07:03.000 few months late publisher but that'll never happen 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:12.129 but publisher Somebody says God told me you're 00:07:12.129 --> 00:07:18.779 supposed to publish my book for free Well, you 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:22.939 know God gives us wisdom and God gives us our 00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:26.459 assignments and so that's pastor and so we have 00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:30.399 to recognize when People are just talking because 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.500 they know you're a pastor and When God gives 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.720 you an assignment and so I will know the difference 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.709 because I stay connected with God That's good. 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:44.930 That's good. That's good. The sense member calls 00:07:44.930 --> 00:07:51.519 you at 1145 PM at night. So I know that's the 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.579 past. I mean, that falls under the pastor. So 00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:57.360 I truly understand that because every now and 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.000 then I get calls, I get texts. So I have to be 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.019 aware and I have to, you know, be in position 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:10.610 to be able to help when I can. You're a great, 00:08:10.949 --> 00:08:14.199 you're a great baby. want something after mama 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:21.069 and daddy don't say no. Well you know grandparents 00:08:21.069 --> 00:08:25.350 uh we try to spoil our grandkids but um I do 00:08:25.350 --> 00:08:28.149 it in moderation or we do it in moderation because 00:08:28.149 --> 00:08:31.569 you never want to go um pass what the parents 00:08:31.569 --> 00:08:34.950 have already said for their child so even though 00:08:34.950 --> 00:08:37.990 I'm his grandmother I will not step past what 00:08:37.990 --> 00:08:41.129 the parents have already said he can and cannot 00:08:41.129 --> 00:08:44.730 do. So I love them so much, but I don't love 00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:48.470 them enough to go past what we have been given 00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:51.210 the instructions we have been given from the 00:08:51.210 --> 00:08:57.389 parents. Amen. Amen. So Elle says, baby, put 00:08:57.389 --> 00:09:03.330 the laptop down. Oh, that's a that's a given. 00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:07.809 I'm done. I will put the laptop down. Turn the 00:09:07.809 --> 00:09:11.250 TV off and everything because we're not here 00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:14.309 together for 25 years because I kept sitting 00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:18.309 at the computer writing books and preaching. 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.179 I made sure that I spent quality time with my 00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:24.500 husband and that's what we have to do when you're 00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:26.720 married. You have to spend that quality time. 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.799 I'm not saying don't go to church, but I can't 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.820 be at the church every day all day long and still 00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.919 expect my marriage to flourish. So I have to 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.679 make sure that I spend that quality time with 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.539 my husband, with my family, now with my grandson 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:45.320 and with my dad. So that's under the pastor role. 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.220 And for Allison, I take a divine rest. every 00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:53.919 year just for myself. I like that, I like that, 00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:57.019 I like that. Sorry, now we're going to get into 00:09:57.019 --> 00:10:02.179 some questions. Okay, sounds great. You have 00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:05.620 a lot of hacks. Pastor, wife, mother, grandmother, 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.240 caregiver, author, publisher, coach. Who is Allison 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:16.600 when those titles come up? Oh, you know, I get 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.940 asked that all the time, you know, definitely 00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:23.419 from women. I mean, I'm just like you. I do wear 00:10:23.419 --> 00:10:28.299 a lot of hats, but I also make sure that I am 00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:33.220 authentic, that I'm real, that you can still 00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:37.539 relate to me, that I'm not so far out of reach 00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:41.059 that you feel like I can't make a call to Allison. 00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.840 Allison has so much going on. Allyson is still, 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.539 Allyson is just that God has called me to assignment, 00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:52.720 to an assignment. And I have to carry that out. 00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:55.759 But I'm still there to help. I'm still there 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.700 to pray for people to intercede. I'm still a 00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:03.320 friend. I'm still a daughter. You know, I still 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.620 have things that Allyson like to do. I love listen 00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:09.659 to music. I love to sing even though I can't 00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:13.149 sing. I love to dance. Can't say that I can't 00:11:13.149 --> 00:11:15.450 dance but you know that was in my younger years. 00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:18.809 I love skating. I can skate just a little bit. 00:11:19.029 --> 00:11:21.990 Just a little bit. I love bowling. Have my own 00:11:21.990 --> 00:11:25.049 bowling ball. There are just so many things that 00:11:25.049 --> 00:11:27.730 I personally like to do that no one kind of really 00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:31.389 knows because they only see me when I'm preaching 00:11:31.389 --> 00:11:35.139 or teaching or you know releasing a book. But 00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:37.500 there's so many things behind the scenes that 00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:41.580 my family and I do that I just never post. And 00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:44.059 sometimes my daughter's posting. Sometimes I 00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:46.120 try to tell them, don't be posting all that stuff. 00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:52.519 But I have a fun life. At least I try to. Sometimes 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.980 I'm just too serious. But overall, I'm just a 00:11:57.980 --> 00:12:03.080 down -to -earth person. I think people forget 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.470 that. We are human just like everybody else. 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:13.850 I can remember I have went to a concert to hear 00:12:13.850 --> 00:12:19.750 some local group that was doing cover R &B music. 00:12:21.029 --> 00:12:24.909 And a lot of people looked at me like, what's 00:12:24.909 --> 00:12:26.850 the weather doing in here? What's the weather 00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:30.110 doing in here? I'm in here for the same reason 00:12:30.110 --> 00:12:34.730 y 'all are to listen to the music. Just as I'm 00:12:34.730 --> 00:12:37.049 a preacher don't mean that I don't enjoy good 00:12:37.049 --> 00:12:40.529 music Now was I doing a lot of this stuff and 00:12:40.529 --> 00:12:44.129 a lot of people who's doing no However, I could 00:12:44.129 --> 00:12:48.269 still be there and enjoy the music without partaking 00:12:48.269 --> 00:12:51.870 in everything that they are protecting me For 00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:58.259 me, I love jazz So I you may see me at a jazz 00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:00.299 concert or just sitting there just listening 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.360 those that's certain music that I really really 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:08.059 like and my family kind of knows that so um I 00:13:08.059 --> 00:13:10.539 limit myself to a lot of things but then there 00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:13.240 are things that you know are still things that 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.980 I like to do but I have to um be aware um I'm 00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:21.740 trying to think of um one of the things that 00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:24.500 I always try to tell my daughter we always have 00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:27.279 to be aware of the appearance because sometimes 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.059 people can take it the wrong way they can take 00:13:30.059 --> 00:13:33.860 it out of context and you know also say sometimes 00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:35.940 people take it out of context because they just 00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:38.200 want to take it out of context because you could 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.159 just literally just be sitting there enjoying 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.620 and someone has taken it out of context it might 00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:48.820 have been um your friend just needed to get i'm 00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:50.720 talking about myself my friend just needed to 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.700 get away just to step away just from life because 00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:57.700 life is lifeing doesn't mean that i'm in i'm 00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:01.480 engaging in everything that's around but sometimes 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.500 we do have to kind of you know be aware of some 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:08.259 of the um surroundings but um i i try to stay 00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:11.399 focused and um you know watch my surroundings 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.730 but you know when god has you covered you're 00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:21.230 coming You're covered. I like that. I like that. 00:14:22.129 --> 00:14:26.289 So how did divine destiny empowerment shut up 00:14:26.289 --> 00:14:30.929 again? And what was the vision behind it? I remember 00:14:30.929 --> 00:14:36.620 talking to a good sister friend of mine. She's 00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:41.860 going to get me. Pastor, Apostle Doctor. Valerie 00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:45.019 Howard Jones and her and I have been friends 00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:49.000 for a while and she's seen my walk and one day 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.539 I told her I said you know God told me to um 00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:55.419 it's time for me to step out it's time for me 00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:59.639 to move on he called me he gave me the name of 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.100 the church divine destiny empowerment center 00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:05.639 he gave me the colors long time ago the red the 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.820 roses and the gold I said something to my mom 00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:13.120 before she transitioned in 2023. I said something 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.159 to my dad. My family kind of already knew, you 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.320 know, because I was already walking in it. I 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.440 was already doing it anyway. I still was never 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.960 a person that was way out there. So when I started 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.940 the church, Divine Destiny Empowerment Center, 00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:32.440 and she kind of walked with me and held my hand, 00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:37.279 actually, she was the one who installed me, but 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.220 my overseer is Bishop Billups, William Billups. 00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:46.360 So there was just so many things that took place 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.019 on that day, but then there were so many things 00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:52.120 that took place behind the scenes. So many questions 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.559 that I had before Divine Destiny Empowerment 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.580 Center came to be. I had a lot of questions because 00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:02.440 when you become a pastor, it's not something 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.419 that you just take lightly. It's you need to 00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:09.659 know the the ends and outs of it Yes, I've been 00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:12.580 in church all my life, but I've never been in 00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:16.240 the pastor role I've been in the reverend role 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.080 or the minister role where you have your pastor 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.340 that's over you But when you get in a pastor's 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:26.440 role now you have people that are coming to you 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.399 Now you have people that you have to put in place 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.179 that you have to install so it came about because 00:16:33.950 --> 00:16:36.669 When God spoke to me, He said, you're ready now 00:16:36.669 --> 00:16:41.029 to move. I've already equipped you. I've already 00:16:41.029 --> 00:16:43.950 prepared you for everything that you need. You 00:16:43.950 --> 00:16:46.110 don't have to walk in fear, walk in authority. 00:16:46.909 --> 00:16:49.250 I've already given it to you and I'm going to 00:16:49.250 --> 00:16:52.269 open up the doors for you. Just be obedient to 00:16:52.269 --> 00:16:57.649 what I've called you to do. Pastor Val was instrumental 00:16:57.649 --> 00:17:01.250 in helping me you know bring all that together 00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:05.670 because we met probably every Thursday or every 00:17:05.670 --> 00:17:08.490 other Thursday I was at her house you know just 00:17:08.490 --> 00:17:11.849 asking questions and we had meetings on I think 00:17:11.849 --> 00:17:14.170 our meetings were on Thursdays or Fridays I can't 00:17:14.170 --> 00:17:16.849 really remember but people don't know we had 00:17:16.849 --> 00:17:20.789 behind the scene meetings and so it wasn't something 00:17:20.789 --> 00:17:23.529 that I just jumped out on the scene and now I'm 00:17:23.529 --> 00:17:28.289 a pastor no I came out, excuse me, after making 00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:32.390 sure that everything was in place that I needed. 00:17:32.829 --> 00:17:35.650 And I thank God for the overseer who believed 00:17:35.650 --> 00:17:42.470 in me, Archbishop Williams, Archbishop Williams 00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:45.369 Billups. I thank God for him and I thank God 00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:48.950 for Pastor Val. And I always call her Pastor 00:17:48.950 --> 00:17:54.869 Val, but she's actually Apostle Val. And so they 00:17:54.869 --> 00:17:57.789 believed in me, and they didn't have a problem 00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:01.690 with everything that God has given me, the vision 00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:04.170 to move forward with it. And so now I'm here. 00:18:05.069 --> 00:18:10.609 And my mission is to make a difference with what 00:18:10.609 --> 00:18:13.650 God has placed in my hands. And so when he gave 00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:17.150 me the book Divine Alignment, Volume 1, 2, and 00:18:17.150 --> 00:18:22.619 3, God gave me that book in January 2023. And 00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:25.000 I'm just releasing it now. He gave me those books 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.940 in 2023. And so I couldn't understand why he 00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:33.220 gave it to me in 2023. But now I see because 00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:36.420 he was getting me ready for the church in 2024. 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.839 God has a plan. We just have to listen. He wanted 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.119 me to release the books in 2023 because Divine 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.500 Destiny Empowerment Center was coming out or 00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:50.039 I was getting ready to start the church in 2024. 00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:56.150 I thank God that I was obedient. I didn't do 00:18:56.150 --> 00:19:00.250 it in 2023, but I did not let it go. I knew I 00:19:00.250 --> 00:19:02.269 was going to do it. I knew I was going to put 00:19:02.269 --> 00:19:06.099 it out. But sometimes you have to be aware of 00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:10.359 distractions because distractions can almost 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.880 take you off your assignment because you're so 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.720 busy trying to help so many other people. But 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.720 you got to be careful. You got to be careful. 00:19:21.730 --> 00:19:24.630 Because your assignment could be so great, but 00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:27.950 you're so busy helping everyone else that you're 00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:30.349 thrown off of what God is calling you to do. 00:19:30.569 --> 00:19:32.769 That's why we have to stay connected to God. 00:19:33.029 --> 00:19:36.109 That's why we have to stay tuned in because the 00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:40.130 distractions are real. And the more we get distracted, 00:19:40.509 --> 00:19:43.269 the further we get away from God. Then we start 00:19:43.269 --> 00:19:46.250 questioning, did God really call us? Did God 00:19:46.250 --> 00:19:49.220 really call me? If you call me, how come I don't 00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:51.400 feel it? How come I'm not walking in? How come 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.380 people are not calling me? How come people are 00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:55.819 not asking me to be on that platform? Because 00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:59.859 you've moved so far away because of the distractions. 00:20:01.099 --> 00:20:03.880 So, I mean, I hope I answered your question Devon 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:09.319 alive and you know. Ma 'am, not only did you 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.809 answer my question, you put you to me right now. 00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:17.819 Yeah, I bet you are going to win. Like that I 00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:20.380 never told you. That's why I just sat back and 00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:22.900 got quiet because I'm like, okay, confirmation. 00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:28.859 Confirmation. Yes. Confirmation. Yes. Yes. Like, 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:36.200 I needed this. What did God teach you about yourself 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:41.730 before he trusted you to lead others? I didn't 00:20:41.730 --> 00:20:46.400 hear you question. What did God teach you about 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.339 yourself before he called you to lead others. 00:20:52.940 --> 00:21:01.630 I've learned this in ministry and working on 00:21:01.630 --> 00:21:06.660 a job sometimes every time someone asks you a 00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:09.559 question doesn't mean you have to give an answer 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:13.680 and so I had to learn how to humble myself and 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.599 make sure that I'm hearing from God before I 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.900 answer so sometimes if people are asking me a 00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:23.599 question they don't know that when I do this 00:21:24.329 --> 00:21:27.730 or if I do something like this, I'm actually 00:21:27.730 --> 00:21:31.869 waiting for God to respond. I'm actually waiting 00:21:31.869 --> 00:21:35.809 for the Holy Spirit to say, now you can say this, 00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:39.730 now you can do that. Because a lot of times we 00:21:39.730 --> 00:21:42.809 just speak, we just answer a question that people 00:21:42.809 --> 00:21:46.750 give us and we're not really tuned into what 00:21:46.750 --> 00:21:49.549 God is saying and sometimes our answers could 00:21:49.549 --> 00:21:53.039 either build someone up or break someone down. 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.839 So I'm very careful in responding. I'm very careful 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:01.059 in responding to a text that someone sends me. 00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:04.500 I'm very careful in responding to an email that 00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:06.819 someone sends me. If people know me, they'll 00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:09.680 tell you, Allison may not respond today. I'm 00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.220 a respond and say I received it, but I'm not 00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:15.579 going to respond and give you an answer because 00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:18.380 I have to consult the Lord. I have to inquire 00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:22.140 of the Lord. And so I've been learning how to 00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:25.599 rest in the Lord before I make decisions. I've 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.259 been learning how to step back because it's not 00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:32.059 about Alison. Because I want to make sure that 00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:37.759 if I give you an answer, I'm fine with the response 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:39.960 that I gave you because I know that God gave 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.660 it to me first. So God had to work on me not 00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:47.539 giving my opinion. And so sometimes, you know, 00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:49.940 when my daughters ask me a question, I'll say, 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.880 you know from what I know about God you know 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:59.519 this is how I would respond and so I try to make 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.940 sure that I just don't respond you know carelessly 00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:07.200 or just throw some words out there because people 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.660 are coming at the pastors back and forth with 00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:13.539 a lot of things and we have to be careful how 00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:16.180 we respond because it can either build someone 00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:19.339 up or break someone down. It could either stop 00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:22.359 someone from ever going to church again or stop 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.480 someone or have someone where they'll start back 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.500 going to church. And so I'm real mindful of that 00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:32.819 because church heart is real. Church hurt is 00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:35.640 real and we don't have to try to you know fake 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.680 it some people stop going to church years ago 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.839 because of church hurt or misunderstanding so 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.019 that's why we have to be careful how we respond 00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:48.490 so God had to humble me first and he had to get 00:23:48.490 --> 00:23:51.549 me to be quiet because if anyone knows me you 00:23:51.549 --> 00:23:53.230 say something to me I'm gonna say something back 00:23:53.230 --> 00:23:56.750 to you you you go I go however we want to do 00:23:56.750 --> 00:23:59.369 this this is because it depends on your upbringing 00:23:59.369 --> 00:24:03.450 you know I'm I'm outspoken, very strong, intelligent 00:24:03.450 --> 00:24:07.029 black woman, so you know, I have a voice. I'm 00:24:07.029 --> 00:24:10.750 going to use my voice, but I use my voice for 00:24:10.750 --> 00:24:13.589 the good, for the greater good to make an impact 00:24:13.589 --> 00:24:18.279 for the next generation. Amen. Because sometimes 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.680 a lot of people think that just because you're 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.859 saved, they think that. Or just because you're 00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:28.279 a poor kid, they think that. All this is so self 00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:32.900 -spoken. They're not gonna say name to me. A 00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:38.289 lot of times I have to pray. And most times I 00:24:38.289 --> 00:24:41.910 gotta pray. And I'm telling God, God, thank you 00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:46.420 for sparing my time. Because what I wanted to 00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:51.279 say to you was, God bless you, have a great day. 00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:55.160 That was not gonna be the thing that I said to 00:24:55.160 --> 00:25:00.130 you. But God had to be like, Just keep your mouth 00:25:00.130 --> 00:25:02.430 shut, keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut. 00:25:02.890 --> 00:25:05.009 They sent you a battle to fight, they sent you 00:25:05.009 --> 00:25:09.390 worse. I made a Facebook post last year, a couple 00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:13.289 of years ago, that I said, well I said, there's 00:25:13.289 --> 00:25:16.400 a lot of people that better be happy that God 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.859 has spared you from telling your side of the 00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:25.240 story. Yes. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah. Because 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.180 it's like, if I was to tell my side of the story, 00:25:28.730 --> 00:25:31.049 Trust and believe me, your little friends love 00:25:31.049 --> 00:25:35.420 that you got. They won't be rooting for you. 00:25:36.190 --> 00:25:39.559 But I have to sit back and let God fight it. 00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:42.140 I'm like, you know what? God, you got this one. 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.460 Yes. Let me just keep my mouth shut. God can 00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:49.079 handle it better than we can. We jumped in to 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.380 mess it up. We just mess it up. Yeah, we like, 00:25:53.640 --> 00:26:00.769 you know what, God, let me help you out. Did 00:26:00.769 --> 00:26:07.250 I need your help? No. Exactly. But we're willing 00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:10.450 to help. Like, God looks like, you know, I don't 00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:12.509 want to tell him God bless you right now. I want 00:26:12.509 --> 00:26:15.630 to tell him something else. And God's like, no. 00:26:16.329 --> 00:26:18.589 If you tell him something else, that's going 00:26:18.589 --> 00:26:23.150 to ruin your witness. Just be obedient. Yes. 00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:27.170 So now I'm going to ask you one more question. 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.579 And as I asked you this one, what I want you 00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:33.619 to do after you answer this question, I want 00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:35.819 you to tell people where they can find you at. 00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:40.000 And then I want you to leave them with some closing 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.000 words. I'm not going to say your final remarks, 00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:46.119 because you're coming back. We've got to have 00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.640 you back. We just question the surface. We just 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.819 question the surface. So you coming back, trust 00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:56.160 and believe me. So here's your next question. 00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:03.059 What is something about marriage after 25 years 00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:07.079 that newlyweds probably don't understand yet? 00:27:10.549 --> 00:27:14.430 I'ma tell you so many questions I get asked I 00:27:14.430 --> 00:27:17.670 tell people all the time that our marriage started 00:27:17.670 --> 00:27:22.269 with God and so When there were misunderstandings 00:27:22.269 --> 00:27:26.150 our marriage started with God so we are foundation 00:27:27.009 --> 00:27:31.509 It's on God's word. So we consult the Lord. So 00:27:31.509 --> 00:27:34.630 if you, one of the things I love about the pastor 00:27:34.630 --> 00:27:40.029 that married us, Pastor Eric D. Boxdale, we did 00:27:40.029 --> 00:27:42.190 marriage counseling. People don't do marriage 00:27:42.190 --> 00:27:44.529 counseling anymore. It was the best thing that 00:27:44.529 --> 00:27:46.970 my husband and I could have ever done was marriage 00:27:46.970 --> 00:27:49.630 counseling. He had a nice little notebook. My 00:27:49.630 --> 00:27:51.450 husband answered some questions. I answered some 00:27:51.450 --> 00:27:55.559 questions. You need to be able to communicate. 00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:59.380 You need to be able to talk to each other. Keep 00:27:59.380 --> 00:28:02.779 people out of your business. Family, friends, 00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:08.400 BFFs, everything. It need to be you, your husband 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.059 and God. That's it. Nobody else. Just the three 00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:16.019 of you. You need to be able to key in on being 00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:19.779 focus on how the two of you are going to communicate 00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:22.019 in the merit. How are you going to handle when 00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:24.099 the children come? How are you going to handle 00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:27.180 when disappointment comes? You need to be able 00:28:27.180 --> 00:28:33.750 to speak to each other in such a way that you're 00:28:33.750 --> 00:28:37.309 not demeaning each other, but that you're giving 00:28:37.309 --> 00:28:41.500 each other that respect. and our marriage for 00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:44.440 the past 25 years and we dated four years so 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.819 technically we've been together 29 years so we 00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:52.319 kind of know each other but everything started 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:54.819 with God and that's what I love about our marriage 00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:59.700 because anything that may have gone wrong or 00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:03.599 anything that we needed answers to we actually 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.819 consulted the Lord we didn't have anybody else 00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:10.259 to go to because God is our everything in our 00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:13.339 marriage. God is the center of our life in our 00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:17.500 marriage. So I think if marriages today, and 00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:19.000 I'm not talking about anyone's marriage because 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.940 I don't know anyone else's marriage, but mine, 00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:25.079 marriages, if they stand on a solid foundation, 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:28.180 which is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you're 00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:31.599 going to be okay. You're going to be okay. Storms 00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:33.859 are going to come. Things are going to happen. 00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:38.470 Life just keeps lifeing. But I just believe if 00:29:38.470 --> 00:29:41.970 you have that solid foundation, which is my Lord 00:29:41.970 --> 00:29:44.869 and Savior Jesus Christ, you're going to be able 00:29:44.869 --> 00:29:48.369 to get through the storm. I don't believe in 00:29:48.369 --> 00:29:50.650 separation. You know, you go to one house, I 00:29:50.650 --> 00:29:53.869 go to another house. I don't believe in, you 00:29:53.869 --> 00:29:56.390 know, you have a past for a day and all of this 00:29:56.390 --> 00:29:59.730 new stuff. Didn't believe in it back then dating. 00:29:59.890 --> 00:30:02.930 Don't believe in it now married. I just believe 00:30:02.930 --> 00:30:06.410 that we consult. the Lord and see what God has 00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:09.250 to say about our situation. And when you do that, 00:30:09.390 --> 00:30:12.289 God gives you answers. We read a lot of marriage 00:30:12.289 --> 00:30:16.089 books together, read together, sing together, 00:30:16.650 --> 00:30:20.250 talk together. I mean, our first year was just, 00:30:20.349 --> 00:30:23.490 we just did a lot of marriage books. You know, 00:30:23.549 --> 00:30:26.029 we did a chapter a day and just reading and just 00:30:26.029 --> 00:30:29.349 reading and asking each other questions. I don't 00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:30.930 even know if my daughter's know that. I'm gonna 00:30:30.930 --> 00:30:33.450 have to make sure I tell them that. But That's 00:30:33.450 --> 00:30:35.670 what we did. I think our first three years of 00:30:35.670 --> 00:30:40.569 marriage, we did a lot of reading on marriages 00:30:40.569 --> 00:30:45.009 and how godly people have handled their marriages. 00:30:45.390 --> 00:30:49.269 30 and 40 and 50 years you know and I've been 00:30:49.269 --> 00:30:52.690 under you know marriages that have lasted my 00:30:52.690 --> 00:30:56.490 mom and dad 42 years before my mom transitioned 00:30:56.490 --> 00:30:59.569 you know my pastor my former pastor and his wife 00:30:59.569 --> 00:31:02.769 I can't tell you the years but you know I've 00:31:02.769 --> 00:31:06.210 watched their marriage a pastor before I started 00:31:06.210 --> 00:31:10.009 my church believe him and his wife and they're 00:31:10.009 --> 00:31:15.980 40 years it's just being connected to God and 00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:18.779 having a godly marriage that's centered around 00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:22.980 the the foundation of God's word and and that's 00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:25.720 all I can tell the generation and even when I 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.539 I've only conducted two marriages one marriage 00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:31.400 I'm sorry I've only conducted one marriage and 00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:34.319 I've been in marriages let me not say that I've 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.859 been in several marriages but I wasn't the head 00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:41.539 pastor the lead pastor on the marriage and so 00:31:42.890 --> 00:31:46.029 I will tell anyone, if I'm the one that will 00:31:46.029 --> 00:31:48.630 be doing your marriage, we're definitely going 00:31:48.630 --> 00:31:52.049 to be doing marriage counseling. I just believe 00:31:52.049 --> 00:31:55.509 in it. I'm going to live by it. And that's the 00:31:55.509 --> 00:31:58.789 way the ministry is going to be conducted. We're 00:31:58.789 --> 00:32:00.869 going to have to go through marriage counseling. 00:32:01.509 --> 00:32:06.559 And so that's what I would tell them. Start your 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:11.029 foundation off with God. You know, things will 00:32:11.029 --> 00:32:13.349 work out in your favor even though the world 00:32:13.349 --> 00:32:17.170 may say it looks bad. It looks like it's going 00:32:17.170 --> 00:32:21.960 down. God knows how to bring things around. God 00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.039 knows how to grant you favor. God knows how to 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:28.039 put things back together when it seems like it's 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.859 broken. See, God remembers us. And so he remembers 00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:35.259 the vows that we made to one another even though 00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:38.180 life has gotten in the middle of it. God remembers 00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:41.079 our love. And he remembers the love that he has 00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.779 for us. And so I think that's why 25 years has 00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:48.000 been a blessing to us. A couple of storms off 00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:52.759 and on, but nothing, you know, so deep. But just 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:56.740 a few things, but heaven God has been our strength, 00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.440 has been everything that we could have ever imagined. 00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:02.099 To be honest with you, you know, when you lose 00:33:02.099 --> 00:33:04.759 a loved one or you go through financial things, 00:33:05.190 --> 00:33:09.230 If we did not have God, I'm not sure where we 00:33:09.230 --> 00:33:12.089 would be. But because of who God is in our life 00:33:12.089 --> 00:33:15.369 and in our marriage, it made such a difference. 00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:19.769 Such a difference. And to be able to call on 00:33:19.769 --> 00:33:23.430 pastors to just talk to them and ask a quick 00:33:23.430 --> 00:33:27.809 question, it makes such a difference. It makes 00:33:27.809 --> 00:33:30.230 a difference the circle that you keep in your 00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:33.509 life. It makes a difference to people that you 00:33:33.509 --> 00:33:35.630 are surrounding yourself with, because when you 00:33:35.630 --> 00:33:37.970 have those down days, you want someone in your 00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:40.390 life that can pray for you, that can intercede 00:33:40.390 --> 00:33:44.490 on your behalf. You don't want to just be talking 00:33:44.490 --> 00:33:48.930 to people or venting to people and they can't 00:33:48.930 --> 00:33:50.990 intercede on your behalf. They can't pray for 00:33:50.990 --> 00:33:54.119 you. They can't get a word through. You want 00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.539 to be around people that are lifting you up. 00:33:57.099 --> 00:33:59.319 people that are telling you that it's gonna be 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.039 okay. It may not look like it, may not feel like 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.299 it, but it's gonna be okay. And so I tell people 00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:09.760 all the time, stay connected. Stay connected 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.920 with people that are sincerely, sincerely serving 00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:18.599 the Lord and believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus 00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.420 Christ because it's gonna make a difference. 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.739 And my three books, Divine Alignment, if you 00:34:23.739 --> 00:34:26.420 read it, It's just lining your life up. It's 00:34:26.420 --> 00:34:29.679 everything that I have gone through but what 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:33.219 make it so significant is that God was aligning 00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:38.139 my life every step of the way from poverty to 00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:43.769 publishing and now pastoring. God was already 00:34:43.769 --> 00:34:48.030 lining my life up. Had no idea that this is where 00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:50.690 I would be in my life. Pastoring and talking 00:34:50.690 --> 00:34:53.909 to people and publishing someone else's book 00:34:53.909 --> 00:34:57.710 yeah I've been writing for years but I never 00:34:57.710 --> 00:35:00.110 thought of publishing something for someone else 00:35:00.110 --> 00:35:02.889 to give someone else a voice to their own book 00:35:02.889 --> 00:35:07.449 and God said you already have it divine alignment 00:35:07.449 --> 00:35:12.289 when you stay connected God will continue to 00:35:12.289 --> 00:35:15.210 pour into you to give you everything that you 00:35:15.210 --> 00:35:18.150 need to let you know that he's still with you 00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:24.050 and so I say Continue to seek him as I say in 00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:27.210 the closing of all of my sermons Your purpose 00:35:27.210 --> 00:35:30.289 still stands regardless of your past Continue 00:35:30.289 --> 00:35:33.969 to seek God and see what it is that God has specifically 00:35:33.969 --> 00:35:36.949 for you because only you can do what God has 00:35:36.949 --> 00:35:41.690 Purposed for you to do so I definitely thank 00:35:41.690 --> 00:35:53.199 you again.

So as I always say, sometimes 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.880 that disappointments are nothing more than guys' 00:37:15.099 --> 00:37:17.159 appointments meaning something that we look at 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.889 is bad. God has only turned me around by good. 00:37:20.190 --> 00:37:22.449 Stay blessed, be blessed, and be a blessing to 00:37:22.449 --> 00:37:25.130 someone else. And I will see y 'all on the next 00:37:25.130 --> 00:37:26.170 episode. Peace.
