that dead conscious is now alive to the things of god. You might go somewhere and you might see the homeless. You might see, teenage mothers who are pregnant or or whatever it is, and then all of a sudden you go like, man, you kinda get angry about it. Like, I wanna do something about that. I wanna help people. Whatever it is God has put in you, maybe it's education, maybe it's whatever it is, your own business, but God has already put it in you. You know what? God has said he's already prepared everything for you. Now he's preparing you for what he's already prepared for you. [01:12:20] (30 seconds)  #PreparedForPurpose Download clip

So I just pray. Lord, help these people to get drinking water. And Lord said, well, why don't you why don't you pray that you'll have the resources where you can send people in there to dig wells where they can have drinking water? It's one thing to pray for drinking water, but it's one thing where you are able to supply drinking water to all these nations. Maybe you want better hospitals or better schools, whatever it is. Lord, bless me where I can build hospitals. I can build school. I can build homeless shelters. I can build life centers where people can get trained and and skilled and and they can live productive life and provide for their families more than enough. Not living from paycheck to paycheck, and each generation is starting all over. I'm talking about generational wealth. [01:16:15] (45 seconds)  #PrayThenProvide Download clip

Now these weeds are thoughts, lies of the enemy. Those are weeds. In in in the parable of the the soil, he says, god says that the the there are four kinds of grounds. The sea yeah. The sea that falls by thank you, Vince. The sea that falls by the wayside and then the or the yeah. And then you got the soil that's full of rocks, and then you got the soil with weeds and thorns and all that, and then you got the good ground. So, and what this is, spiritually speaking, we're talking about weeds, is we have this mindset. We have ways of thinking, and and and it doesn't line up with the word of god, and it chokes to see that you sow into you. When you sow the word into you and if you're believing and you're speaking is not in line with the word, then those weeds choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. And then you're praying and you're believing, and nothing's happening because our mindset is not in line with the word of God. Alright. [01:19:12] (55 seconds)  #AlignYourMindset Download clip

and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And then it says he departed, and he gave the innkeeper some money to take care of the bill. And he said, when I come back through, if there's more, money, I will get it right. I will pay it. So the good Samaritan. So, and and it goes back to who's my neighbor? So in that parable, who was the neighbor? Was it the Levite? Was it the priest, or was it the Samaritan? [01:07:07] (28 seconds)  #NeighborIsCompassion Download clip

Weed killer only controls weeds. It doesn't kill the root. So what you see is kill, but the root underground is still alive. Next one. Next bullet comment. Your lawn has to be sprayed continually. And you know what? These companies know that, but they're getting your money. Yeah. You know I'm saying? Over 3 and a half billion dollar a year is probably more than that. So, you know, I I had it in, and they're supposed to do me, like, seven or eight treatments. You know? But they'll try to slip a couple in on you. And I told them, I said, before you come to my house, I need you to contact me the day prior. Give me notice what time you're gonna be there in the day. Don't come and surprise me because I'm not gonna pay for it because I didn't tell you. You didn't tell me. So and and so one time they snuck one in on me. And I came out and called myself, I did not [01:17:49] (49 seconds)  #DigOutTheRoot Download clip

okay this, authorize for anybody to do this. Oh, mister Perry, we're sorry. We made a mistake. This one's on us. Yeah. It's on you because I'm not paying because I didn't tell you to do it. So you gotta be you gotta be discerning, and and we'll get to it. So next bullet comment, weed killer only kills the visible. I told you that not the root. Is there another one? Yeah. So you've got to dig up the root. If you don't dig up the root, the weed's coming back next week, then and you're gonna call the people and have them spray again. I think those are the comments for that one. Now let's go to the spiritual one. [01:18:37] (34 seconds)  #DiscernAndDigRoots Download clip
