Look at somebody and say, it really still can be any day now. And did I tell y'all, this is when I'm on my most alert. Yes. It's when the saints ain't talking about it. Alright. When preachers ain't preaching about it. Because Jesus said, at a time Yes, sir. That you think not. Yes. That's when I'm coming. And he said, I'm coming as a thief. So he ain't coming from everybody. Everybody ain't gonna see him. No. Not then. Oh, no. Not then. [00:41:06] (80 seconds)  #BeReadyAlways Download clip

And he uses whomever he will. We already know that the greatest anthem of yes, Lord Yeah. Was given to the late great bishop Charles Harrison Mason. Yes. And he got up and just started saying, yes. Lord. Lord is And [00:34:01] (40 seconds)  #YesLordAnthem Download clip

Amen. You can use any excuse. That's what the Bible means by standing in the way of sinners. See, there's a whole lot of people looking at the church now, especially since we're living in this visual day. Yes, sir. The church is a visible mess. Everything is being done in the name of God. That's that's and it ain't godly. Right. Right. So you ain't got the dumpers out here. But but guess what? Just because there's a mess, God chose the mess.

Thank God for DEA and intelligence and the knowledge we got out of here now. You may be able to trace where your ancestral root country was in Africa. You may be, But to find all of the history, to find all of what we were about, pretty much that is gone. But thank God for what we are finding out, that we were not just bushmen. We were not just wild animals in the jungle. At one time, we were the cream of the crop. We told history. Amen. Know your history. [01:32:16] (41 seconds)  #FindOurRoots Download clip

Why do you think the Hebrews, the Jews are still as strong, still as powerful Even though they was enslaved and all that, they was in slavery and all that. They were uncomfortable people. Well, here's the simple truth. They never lost their inheritance. They never lost their personal possession. They kept their tribes intact. They kept their history intact. That's the difference between those and us. We lost everything. Everything. That's why we said we were enslaved. We lost everything. [01:31:36] (40 seconds)  #ProtectYourHeritage Download clip

Most of us tend to fail to understand we were not together as a race of people in Africa simply because Africa is not a country. That's right. Africa has always been and still is a continent made up of different countries. And countries just like now goes to war against one another. Right. And we were doing the same like everybody else. No difference. Yeah. But when we got enslaved, when the wealth of Africa and the wealthy African people also saw the benefits of slavery, they too joined the slave trade. Yeah. So if you don't know your history, you got to accept the truth of your history. [01:30:13] (51 seconds)  #AfricaIsNotACountry Download clip

You can paint it in a way you want to, but that don't change the fact of what it is. And so we were enslaved. And when we say that, our children need to understand, most of us will probably never know whether we want to or not unless God give us more time. We will probably never know our ancestral history exactly. We probably will not. We lost all trace. [01:31:05] (31 seconds)  #LostAncestralRoots Download clip
