Say less till you can say better. Alright.”

“We already received divine empowerment. We received it to be bold. And so it's the holy spirit glory that will show up when we're connected. It's the holy spirit that makes you pray instead of gossiping when there's trouble in the church. It's the holy spirit that makes you get up Sunday morning Yeah. And press and push your way to church to worship him. It's the holy spirit Yes. That brings us to one place on one accord. The holy Spirit equips us to be a witness. It's the power that was set on the day of Pentecost. That same power is now in us. Yeah. And so God has called us a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a nation of peculiar people who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. The question is not, do you have the holy spirit? But do the power of the holy spirit have you? Amen? To god be the glory.”

You don't wanna hear 100, don't call me. That's your problem. You got a reputation of speaking your mind and telling it like it is. And you're proud of that. And I'm saying that is not godly. Shut your mouth.”

And years later, you ain't even mad at the person no more, but they still felt what you're saying. And you know it's deep because it went into their long term memory. Things you emotionally respond to, you go into a part of your brain that is there forever. And this is what's deep about it. The person that said it may not remember it, but the person that heard it may not ever forget it. That's why sometimes it's better it's better to just be quiet.”

#TakeResponsibility
“If you couldn't control your anger, God wouldn't say to do it. And this is what I'm saying. Too many people are living in a house with somebody who knows they won't be held accountable for acting crazy with you. And then they say, I'm sorry. I just was on 10. I'm sorry. I just curked out. I'm just sorry. I crashed out. No. No. No. Don't don't minimize it. Because here's the deal. You gotta understand when it comes to anger, that deep seated anger is something that's been building for a long time.”

#ProtectYourIncome
“Like, this ain't gonna work. So this what I say. I say this all the time. Never let your stream drop your river. Alright. Alright. Good. Unless your stream can replace your river, be careful. Don't be all over there doing your side hustle because most streams don't have health benefits or paid leave. I know you got your own business, but you'll get paid to be off. Be careful of this swimming in shallow water. Your family needs stability too.”
