I remember the first time [music] in my
0:02
life that I heard a church praying that
0:07
I paused and I needed to hear what I
0:10
just heard again. And I heard the
0:12
[music] pastor read the sound, this die,
0:16
not because I didn't come from a home
0:17
where [music] we pray, but my father
0:19
taught us to pray for our enemies. That
0:22
was the culture I was used to.
0:25
When was the last time you sat in a
0:29
who are so real and everyone can be
0:33
touched with each other's feelings apart
0:35
from a place where they are just
0:36
mastered [music] make believe.
0:40
We must understand that the concept of
0:42
healing in our souls is not motivational
0:45
speaking. It's prophetic. [music]
0:50
And once that place gets damaged,
0:53
riddled with unforgiveness, [music]
0:55
strife, hatred, envy, that you just wish
0:59
that someone you feel is not as good as
1:01
you will crash and it will make it into
1:04
what you boast with. That someone
1:06
[music] withtood you and died. Someone
1:09
didn't treat you well and [music] lost a
1:12
Someone left a church and their child
1:15
died or their business failed. We
1:17
[music] mask it under the name of the
1:22
God of [music] vengeance.
1:24
So much so that the perception of an
1:27
average [music] black person about the
1:29
concept of God is flawed.
1:32
is the judgmental [music]
1:35
freak who is waiting for you to make
1:37
mistakes and end his entire plans for
1:40
you because you [music] are used to
1:41
being left alone. So much so that we are
1:43
not able to receive his love.
1:47
That when you see an average person
1:48
whose emotions [music] is intact, who
1:50
speaks freely, loves without holding
1:52
back. We feel [music] they are weak
1:54
because as far as we are concerned
1:56
strength is to hold to hold back [music]
2:00
to lie to pretend to tell people how
2:03
much you care when in
2:04
>> essence you really don't
2:08
for real strength [music] is love
2:12
and that's the height of spiritual
2:14
[music] maturity. By these shall men
2:16
know that you're my disciple. When you
2:18
have love for one another,
