I am. What's the word? I am supercalifragilisticexpialidocious today. I'm so blessed and grateful and thankful and just happy that I'm alive, man.
Another day of life.
Thanks for having me on the show, man. I remember when you reached out to me on the DMs, and you probably was like, oh, he's not going to respond. That's how I felt.
Yeah, it was quick, and I was just like, man, you know, I really want to continue to spread, you know, the message, the gospel. So, glad you reached out, man.
I appreciate you.
I feel old, man. It is awesome though, like,
It was so crazy. I was on his door.
But I think that people see people think that God is a genie. People try to use God like a genie. So they're thinking prayer means, God, I'm praying that you bless me with this right now. And they expect it to happen right now. It doesn't happen like that. What are we doing in that time period for it to get to God? Are we in his presence? Are we staying in his presence? Are we fasting?
Are we reading? Are we praying? Are we meditating? Are we separating ourselves from the world so we can actually hear from God? Think about what Jesus did in the Bible, in the Garden of Gethsemane. What did he do? He had to go and pray and get away from everyone. When he went to go get tempted in Matthew, he had to pray and get away from everyone.
When he went and fasted for 40 days, he had to get away from everybody. Why? Because the devil wanted to tempt him. The devil tempted him. After those 40 days of temptation, what happened with Jesus? He was transfigured. He went through a process. Why? Because all those temptations, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, it didn't hit him. He went without sin.
And so his prayers, everything was answered for him because he actually sat and went through the process. A lot of times we don't want to go through the process. We just want to rub the bottom of... of the genie that we expect God is, but that's not God. We have to pray. And he asked us, like you said, see if he could trust us with those gifts before he give us these gifts.
I started praying when I was 10 years old to go to the NBA. Did I go to the NBA at 10? No. No. I had to tarry. I had to wait. I had to be patient. I had to go through a process of elimination. I had to eliminate people around me. I had to eliminate things from my body. I had to eliminate all these things that would stop me from getting to where my goal, which is the NBA.
Did I stop praying every day? No. I prayed every single day from the time I was 10 to the time I got to the NBA.
I think, to be honest, after being a 39-year-old young man and experiencing so much at a very young age, I've come to realize that we are all Every single one of us are on our own journey to find out who we truly are. And our parents, their job was to lay a foundation. And my parents laid a great and amazing foundation of love, but also prayer. And what I did was take it to a whole nother level.
So I saw what they did in praying for me to make it to the NBA. And I use that same faith. Every single person had to see me become a vessel on this planet. I use that same attitude for every aspect of my life. Whatever I do in my life, I'm going to have that faith of a mustard seed. I'm going to believe Philippians 4.13 that I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
That is going to be my mindset because of the prayer warriors and the people that have that were that came before me yeah so they established the foundation my parents did so when i came i was able to walk into my destiny that was one of my my mentors told me that one of the things when i started well i have a mentor when i started walking with him he said
It's so true. It's crazy that you said that.
Just a little bit. Yeah.
10 through high school, well, I had to keep my head out of the clouds because I was so locked in on going to the NBA. So what I had to do was center myself, stay grounded, and focus on the moment. Focusing on the moment, knowing that I already have – An end goal was what kept my high school times amazing. My end goal was to be in the NBA. So how I do everything in life is through my faith.
And through my faith, I know that I have to see the end before I start in the beginning. So I had to see the end of something. The end of my goal was to be in the NBA. So... Now, I had to go back to the beginning. What is going to be my steps to get to the NBA? I have to stay locked in in school. I'm going to be going to school for four years of high school, which means I can't get distracted.
