WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.759
<v SPEAKER_00>There's so many people out there that are hurting, people out there that need answers.

00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.599
<v SPEAKER_00>And I was literally on the ground, curled in a ball, crying in pain.

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:09.439
<v SPEAKER_00>I was at fading in and out.

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.640
<v SPEAKER_00>We have a secret weapon, and I'm about to introduce you to her.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.640
<v SPEAKER_01>Somebody poisoned him, and he died.

00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.640
<v SPEAKER_01>So I never knew a dad.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.000
<v SPEAKER_01>My mom married a lazy preacher.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.920
<v SPEAKER_01>He would tell me I was ugly, no good, and nobody would ever love me.

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Death was always in the forefront of my mind.

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.600
<v SPEAKER_00>She said, I'm coming.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.479
<v SPEAKER_00>She came in and she laid hands on me.

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.479
<v SPEAKER_00>And the pain went away.

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.079
<v SPEAKER_00>So that was one of my first experiences with it, a true healing on the spot.

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.920
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not by my power, mighty, it's by his spirit.

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.600
<v SPEAKER_01>Your word declares that healing is your children's bread.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.640
<v SPEAKER_01>He sent Jesus to heal us and deliver us from destruction.

00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:06.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Traveled all the way to Pittsburgh, PA to bring you all something very special.

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:15.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, you're gonna hear how the Pompa family survived some of the hardest times ever, and in our family at least.

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.239
<v SPEAKER_00>And um, but we have a secret weapon, and I'm about to introduce you to her, but I'm gonna start with a story.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:32.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, there was a night new, you all know most of my story that I was very sick at one time, but this night I had a very intense stomach pain.

00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh, came out of nowhere, couldn't explain it, but it was very intense.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:51.439
<v SPEAKER_00>I've had this pain before, but never ever to this degree, to the point where I said to my wife, who is here also, you're going to hear from in a moment, um, that if it gets any worse, you're gonna have to take me to the hospital because that's how bad it was.

00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.239
<v SPEAKER_00>I was literally on the ground, curled in a ball, crying in pain.

00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:04.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And for me to say, you may have to take me to the hospital if it gets worse, because I was literally worried about losing consciousness.

00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.920
<v SPEAKER_00>I was fading in and out.

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.240
<v SPEAKER_00>It was not a good evening.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, my wife did what probably most people wouldn't have done.

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:21.599
<v SPEAKER_00>She called not the hospital, and she called not somebody that knew about health and healing.

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, she knew about healing, but you'll find out that in a minute.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.439
<v SPEAKER_00>But she called someone named Ma Porter, who you're about to meet.

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.319
<v SPEAKER_00>And she said, Mom, here's the situation.

00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>He's in a lot of pain.

00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:35.759
<v SPEAKER_00>We need prayer right now.

00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Otherwise, we might be going to the hospital.

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.719
<v SPEAKER_00>She said, I'm coming.

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:52.080
<v SPEAKER_00>And at 12 o'clock at night, this woman got in her car and drove across town from an area called Wilkinsburg, not a great area.

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.560
<v SPEAKER_00>And she came into our neighborhood.

00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.560
<v SPEAKER_00>And odd that this black woman, how old were you at the time?

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:08.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh, whatever I was at nine, I had uh well, she so how old was that?

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.400
<v SPEAKER_02>Yeah, oh two.

00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.039
<v SPEAKER_02>So today this is 26.

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.159
<v SPEAKER_02>All right, that's a bad thing.

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.159
<v SPEAKER_02>23 years ago, right?

00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.120
<v SPEAKER_00>We don't know.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:18.560
<v SPEAKER_02>23 years ago.

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:27.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, so the fact was, anyway, she came into our town and a police officer pulled her over because they uh this was suspicious.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh so it's true.

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Right, we were leaving up and down and he was following me.

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes.

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:40.319
<v SPEAKER_01>And finally I drove up beside him and asked him, Will you help me?

00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And he said, Follow me.

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.759
<v SPEAKER_01>I was a block and a half from your house.

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, and he escorted her to our house at 12 o'clock at night.

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:51.360
<v SPEAKER_02>He was worried about you.

00:03:51.680 --> 00:04:00.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And here's the best part of the story is that she came in and she laid hands on me, and the pain went away.

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:13.759
<v SPEAKER_00>So that was one of my first experiences with it, a true healing on the spot, because I didn't know um obviously what her prayers were going to do at that time, but I was going to accept them.

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, anyways, that's the story.

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.040
<v SPEAKER_00>That's just one story of many.

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh, but now you've officially met her.

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Mom Porter.

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:20.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Hey.

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Why do we call you mom?

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:23.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Because I'm your black mom.

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:24.720
<v SPEAKER_00>That's it.

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:25.439
<v SPEAKER_00>That's true.

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Because we don't have an earthly mom anymore.

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Now we have mom porter, who is the mom to our family.

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And by the way, she is our CPO, our chief prayer officer in our company.

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:44.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Everything that we absolutely need God to be in the center of, we bring Mom Porter in.

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.600
<v SPEAKER_00>Which is everything.

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:46.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Which is everything, exactly.

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Meaning, like if we have problems, we have trouble, we bring Mom Porter in.

00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And by the way, that's why you're going to stay tuned to this episode.

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.439
<v SPEAKER_00>So, and I'm here with my lovely wife, again, just to clarify.

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.079
<v SPEAKER_02>And even when we don't have problems, we bring you in.

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.720
<v SPEAKER_02>You're part of our joys, our celebrations, our hopes, our expectations, our directions.

00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.360
<v SPEAKER_02>And just trusting God with all things.

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:14.480
<v SPEAKER_02>And we just value the wisdom and the just the faith that you have.

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:26.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, look, I started with that story because obviously there's so many people out there that are hurting, so many people out there that need answers, need prayer, and you're gonna get that uh right from mom.

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Matter of fact, how many people do I send you?

00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.720
<v SPEAKER_00>I say, Oh, you gotta talk to mom porter, right?

00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.480
<v SPEAKER_00>My friend Skyler, who was in, I said, you gotta talk to Mom Porter, right?

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.360
<v SPEAKER_00>It's like you gotta call mom Porter, Jeff Abrams, Dr.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Jeff Abrams.

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, I said, You I told him just two nights ago, I said, Jeff, you're going through this.

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:43.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Have you called mom porter?

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:45.519
<v SPEAKER_00>No, I said, You gotta call mom porter.

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:46.160
<v SPEAKER_00>I don't want to bother.

00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.279
<v SPEAKER_00>I said, No, no, no.

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:53.199
<v SPEAKER_00>If I tell you to call mom Porter and you tell her you told her that I told you to call, she's gonna pray for you.

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:53.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Yes.

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.839
<v SPEAKER_00>So, but I want to back up because I know a lot of people are going to get your prayer today.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And I believe even in healing.

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.120
<v SPEAKER_00>But I want to back up to your story because you're 95 years old.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:07.680
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:16.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, we're gonna find out what she does or does and trusts in to uh be 95 and still great perfect vision, right?

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:16.639
<v SPEAKER_03>Right?

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, you don't need glasses.

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:19.839
<v SPEAKER_00>No, okay, that's incredible.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.000
<v SPEAKER_00>All right, anyways, the bottom line though is that um your upbringing was it was rough.

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:28.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Rough.

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:29.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.800
<v SPEAKER_00>I want to the best of your ability to tell that story, whatever you feel comfortable with.

00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:35.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Meaning, I want them, don't hold back.

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.879
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, I want them to hear what you dealt with growing up.

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, and this is an adult audience, they can handle anything.

00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:51.360
<v SPEAKER_00>So don't hold back because you're 95, but you went through that, and it's gonna give a lot of people hope.

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:52.319
<v SPEAKER_01>All right.

00:06:53.040 --> 00:07:09.600
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, my dad owned a barber shop in Alabama, and one Saturday night when he was cleaning the shop, he drank the lemonade he had left from the customers.

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Somebody poisoned him and he died.

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.079
<v SPEAKER_01>My mom was carrying me, so I never knew a dad.

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.439
<v SPEAKER_01>Thank God for my heavenly father.

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:26.800
<v SPEAKER_01>And my mom married a lazy preacher.

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:51.360
<v SPEAKER_01>He stayed home while she I had three brothers above me, and uh they were in school, but I stayed home, he took care of me, supposedly, but he was teaching me scripture, moving me around on his lap, getting whatever he needed.

00:07:52.639 --> 00:08:07.839
<v SPEAKER_01>And he would put his penis in my mouth, spew his sperm in my face, tell me I was ugly, no good, never be nothing, and nobody would ever love me.

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Thank God he didn't have the last say because the pompus loved me.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:24.399
<v SPEAKER_01>But anyway, uh through the years I battled that and kept quiet.

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:31.120
<v SPEAKER_01>He told me if I told my mom she would die and I would be the one that killed her.

00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.039
<v SPEAKER_01>If I told anyone else, he would kill me and kill them.

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:45.440
<v SPEAKER_01>So death was always in the forefront of my mind till I was 40 years old.

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.639
<v SPEAKER_01>I never told anybody.

00:08:48.879 --> 00:09:00.320
<v SPEAKER_01>When my brothers would come home from school, um, the things my mom left for him to do during the day, he would make them do it.

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And then he would tell them, go outside and play.

00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.519
<v SPEAKER_01>You are not allowed in for water or to go to the bathroom.

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.200
<v SPEAKER_01>So my brothers, I guess, never knew what was going on with me.

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.440
<v SPEAKER_01>But I never told my mom.

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:24.240
<v SPEAKER_01>At 58, my mom passed away, and uh that's another whole story.

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.960
<v SPEAKER_01>But anyway, I feel like she passed of a broken heart.

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:37.120
<v SPEAKER_01>But God is so faithful, after 40, I learned to forgive.

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.799
<v SPEAKER_01>And that was not my doing.

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:54.080
<v SPEAKER_01>God gave me the grace to forgive him for the negatives that he had placed on me all those years from three to seven years old.

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Only I know, at seven years old, my mom left him.

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.000
<v SPEAKER_01>I never knew why, but thank God she did.

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:11.679
<v SPEAKER_01>And at seven years old, I learned to cook greens and cornbread for a white couple.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:21.759
<v SPEAKER_01>And one when they finally learned, they say they could no longer give me the 25 cents they were paying me.

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:30.320
<v SPEAKER_01>One day I went to visit them and she looked out the door and said, get away from here, nigga.

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.240
<v SPEAKER_01>I told you I didn't need you any longer.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:47.440
<v SPEAKER_01>So God has been gracious and I forgave them, and I am so happy that just like God forgave me, I was able to forgive them.

00:10:47.679 --> 00:11:01.600
<v SPEAKER_01>And today I'm 95, rejoicing in the God of my salvation, experiencing love from a whole lot of people, from a whole lot of places.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.039
<v SPEAKER_01>In Jesus' name.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.

00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.840
<v SPEAKER_00>And you know, and I I believe it's the adversity that you went through.

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:15.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Our adversity in our life is why, you know, we're able to serve him at the level that we do, right?

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:32.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Meaning from pain to purpose is something that, you know, as a family, um, you know, we we talk about, but it we say from pain to purpose to promise, because God gave her a promise at that time that I was going to get well and that I'm gonna take a message to the world.

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And, you know, God made good on that promise, right?

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.600
<v SPEAKER_00>But I see.

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.919
<v SPEAKER_00>We don't often see it in the adversity, right?

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.600
<v SPEAKER_00>It's like, and I look at the lives that you've been able to impact and change.

00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:50.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And um, I know that so much of who you are today, the faith that you have came out of that adverse, you know, probably more than that, but started there anyway.

00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:51.679
<v SPEAKER_00>So much more.

00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:52.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.320
<v SPEAKER_02>What happened that enabled you to forgive him?

00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.200
<v SPEAKER_02>What what how did God lead you to that place?

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:00.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I have no idea.

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:02.559
<v SPEAKER_01>I had a feeling you were gonna say that.

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:04.799
<v SPEAKER_01>How, when, or what?

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:18.000
<v SPEAKER_01>But I'm supposed to be walking around with my head down, not looking in people at not looking in people's eyes because no good.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Never be nothing.

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:36.480
<v SPEAKER_01>And so, but when I realized that I was going to the Retunda, the state capitol, and I would walk up to anybody anywhere and say, may I pray with you?

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:42.399
<v SPEAKER_01>And I guess one out of 500 might have said no.

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:49.679
<v SPEAKER_01>But it's okay, because it's not about me anyway, and I'm not praying to them.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:13:02.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And of course, those that say no, I pray for them anyway, because I'm not praying to them, I'm just praying for them because that's what God led me.

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.159
<v SPEAKER_01>And I'm grateful, grateful, grateful.

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Because He forgave me, I can forgive anybody.

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.879
<v SPEAKER_02>Mama has a book called May I Pray With You, right?

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.360
<v SPEAKER_02>Yes.

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.039
<v SPEAKER_02>You don't have it with you though, do you?

00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.440
<v SPEAKER_02>But we can get it to you.

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:21.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, I exactly.

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.200
<v SPEAKER_00>I don't even know if it's on Amazon.

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:23.919
<v SPEAKER_00>We'll find out.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.600
<v SPEAKER_00>We'll find out where people can get that.

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.200
<v SPEAKER_00>It's on Amazon.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.080
<v SPEAKER_00>It is on Amazon.

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:28.559
<v SPEAKER_00>So good.

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.039
<v SPEAKER_00>There you go.

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:29.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.000
<v SPEAKER_00>So yeah.

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So find it, find it on Amazon.

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:41.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Um I I have to say though, that when you hear that story, I most people would have believed him who told you that, right?

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:50.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh their life would have ended very differently, you know, because a cer a circumstance like that typically ruins someone's life forever.

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.720
<v SPEAKER_00>So why not yours?

00:13:53.440 --> 00:14:03.759
<v SPEAKER_01>Because of the grace of God, because of his mercy, and because he would teach me scripture back and forth.

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:09.039
<v SPEAKER_01>He would say, Galatians 6 and 7, and I'd say, Be not deceived for God is not more.

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Whatever a man so it shall he also reap.

00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.600
<v SPEAKER_01>Or he would say, Be not deceived for God is not more.

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.159
<v SPEAKER_01>I would say Galatians 6 and 7.

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:18.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Wow.

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:29.360
<v SPEAKER_01>And I was able to, but just the love of God shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost, I had nothing to do with it.

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:40.000
<v SPEAKER_02>So the very man that abused you and taught you scripture, so is the one that obviously that God allowed that teaching from him.

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.360
<v SPEAKER_02>Isn't that just like how how Satan works, right?

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.399
<v SPEAKER_02>What is intended to harm you, God worked for good.

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:53.840
<v SPEAKER_02>And it was rooted in you that you could speak it back to yourself who needed to know it and apply it.

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:55.279
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes, yes, yes.

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Who who was the most in your life?

00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:06.720
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, because for you to respond that way, you know, in prayer and um see it differently than most people would see it, right?

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Because most people would feel sorry for it.

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Who who led you in the world?

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.960
<v SPEAKER_01>My mom, she was a strong Christian.

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.279
<v SPEAKER_01>My grandmother was a strong believer.

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.919
<v SPEAKER_01>My mom had a heart attack.

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.879
<v SPEAKER_01>She fell and knocked me down.

00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:29.360
<v SPEAKER_01>And when she fell, she fell in my arms just like a baby.

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:33.840
<v SPEAKER_01>And she said, Thank you, Jesus, three times.

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.759
<v SPEAKER_01>And she was gone at 58 years old.

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.919
<v SPEAKER_01>57 and seven months.

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:40.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Wow.

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:52.960
<v SPEAKER_01>And so I I attributed to my mom being faithful to God and being a forgiving, caring, giving person.

00:15:53.919 --> 00:16:06.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Anybody came to the neighborhood, this was in Alabama, anybody that came to the neighborhood that was strange or whatever, they'd say, go to Miss Winston's house, she'll feed you.

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:14.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Mom would let them sit on the front porch, fix them a plate, and bring it to them and let them go on their way.

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:20.720
<v SPEAKER_01>She wouldn't allow them in the house because she didn't want nobody assuming anything.

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:28.080
<v SPEAKER_01>But because of that, she taught me a place for everything and everything in its place.

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.600
<v SPEAKER_01>And that 95 is still working wonderful in my life.

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.840
<v SPEAKER_02>We need to do a little more of that.

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Absolutely.

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:47.600
<v SPEAKER_00>So I mean, okay, so that situation obviously leads you to becoming more faithful.

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.240
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes.

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:55.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Um, if you look back at your life, what other situations shaped the woman that I see and the faith that you have?

00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:15.359
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, loving and being loved and prayer and vitamins and people like you teaching me how practice on the whole nine yards, because you have certainly been a jewel in my life.

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, well, no, I we've got God did it.

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.079
<v SPEAKER_00>You've been the jewel in ours.

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.400
<v SPEAKER_01>And he placed us together.

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.359
<v SPEAKER_01>We had nothing to do with so true.

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.799
<v SPEAKER_02>We say that all the time.

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.440
<v SPEAKER_02>We have nothing to do with our salvation, we have nothing to do with the outcomes.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:31.759
<v SPEAKER_02>Right.

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.440
<v SPEAKER_02>We just trust him and grow through whatever it is.

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.559
<v SPEAKER_02>That's right.

00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:36.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.720
<v SPEAKER_01>That's where we are.

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:44.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh, you know, I mean, I'm sure you had other hard things that happen in your life.

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, yes.

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:56.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, I lost um five brothers, two sisters, two husbands, and a daughter.

00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:01.599
<v SPEAKER_01>My daughter passed at 54 with breast cancer.

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:10.079
<v SPEAKER_01>And when you lose a child, it's like a piece of you being torn away from your heart.

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.079
<v SPEAKER_01>But thank God she was a intercessor, a worshiper.

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.240
<v SPEAKER_01>All three of my girls are worshippers, was worshippers.

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.400
<v SPEAKER_01>I still got two living.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:34.240
<v SPEAKER_01>And it was just an awesome privilege to finally be able to release my family to the Lord.

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:47.039
<v SPEAKER_01>He taught me that because you can grieve or you can realize the truth, or you can get stuck.

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.920
<v SPEAKER_01>But thank God I didn't get stuck.

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:54.559
<v SPEAKER_01>I began to thank God for the time I had each one of them.

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.839
<v SPEAKER_01>I remember Elcia.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:04.000
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, I I I think all of us struggle um so many times just to fully trust God.

00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.279
<v SPEAKER_00>That's all that he wants.

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.279
<v SPEAKER_00>But we we don't want to take situations into our own hands.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.839
<v SPEAKER_00>We would rather fret oftentimes instead of just trusting him.

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:14.400
<v SPEAKER_03>Right.

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.400
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, what would you say to us?

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.440
<v SPEAKER_00>That like meaning, like, how do we how do we trust?

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:26.799
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, what he did for me was he said, anything you can do something about, do it.

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:33.440
<v SPEAKER_01>What you can't do anything about, cast that care on me, because I care.

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.160
<v SPEAKER_01>If it's too big for you, it's certainly not too big for me.

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.599
<v SPEAKER_01>And that's what I've lived by and received and tried to embrace.

00:19:45.920 --> 00:20:00.400
<v SPEAKER_01>If I think about it and I get trying to get frustrated or discouraged or sad, I get myself together because see, he has a part, but we have a part.

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:00.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:01.599

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.640
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not by my power, mighty, it's by his spirit.

00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.759
<v SPEAKER_01>And he's been thrown.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.720

<v SPEAKER_01>That doesn't mean just mean a headache.

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:29.279

<v SPEAKER_00>Well, I think where we are as a country right now is people really need to um people are coming to God right now.

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:46.960
<v SPEAKER_00>With the death of Charlie Kirk, you know, right now we have a revival that's happening in this country.

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Um I think we've watched some of the most terrific things happen in this country right now.

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.359
<v SPEAKER_00>And right now, people are leaning in to God more than ever.

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes, because they have nowhere else to go.

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:05.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Nobody else to lean on.

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:10.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Because without him, we have to admit we can do nothing.

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.640
<v SPEAKER_02>We come to the end of ourselves and there he is.

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Right, right.

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:16.400
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.960
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not by power, not by mind, it's by his spirit.

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:30.799
<v SPEAKER_00>On one of my podcasts, I did a Instagram interview with you, a few of them along the way.

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And go back and find them on my page.

00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Um amazing.

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:39.519
<v SPEAKER_00>And one of the times I asked you, uh, 95, right?

00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:40.480
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, come on.

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.839
<v SPEAKER_00>How'd you do it?

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Right?

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:46.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Um and you know, you didn't you would you didn't do it by any special diet.

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.240
<v SPEAKER_00>You didn't do it by I mean, she says vitamins because I give them to her.

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.759
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm like, take this, right?

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.839
<v SPEAKER_00>She's just honoring me by saying that, but I'm gonna argue that the vitamins weren't it.

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh you know, truthfully, what what do you think?

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:09.920
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, because all the adversity in your life, obviously you had a lot, a lot of stress in your life, a lot of uh you know processed foods growing up where you grew up, right?

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.519
<v SPEAKER_00>You didn't eat a perfect diet.

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:12.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:13.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Um I mean, here we are.

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:16.079
<v SPEAKER_00>True, right?

00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, the toxins in food today are different.

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.839
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, I I argue your generation had a lot of advantages there, right?

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.720
<v SPEAKER_00>But you still grew up on mostly processed food, I would argue.

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Am I right on that?

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Or tell me.

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Yes.

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, that's what we knew.

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:36.160
<v SPEAKER_01>Because most healthy food is not good, don't taste good.

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:39.119
<v SPEAKER_01>It's good for you, but it don't taste good.

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, I mean, it was just even a financial, right?

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.720
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, it was easier to get white bread and uh right?

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:50.319
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, just but you know, so uh let's just say definitely not the perfect diet, right?

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:52.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Less chemicals than today.

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.319
<v SPEAKER_00>But come on, you have to have some secret, 95 years old.

00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:05.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, secret is prayer, gears first, prayer, and vitamins.

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:06.160
<v SPEAKER_01>That's that's it.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.920
<v SPEAKER_00>She's giving me credit with the vitamins, right?

00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:08.559
<v SPEAKER_00>That's it.

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, yeah.

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:13.200
<v SPEAKER_02>You have been taking you she took vitamins a long time before she knew us.

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:20.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes, I've been taking vitamins for years, but I trust in God.

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:27.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, but see, I'm gonna argue that most of the vitamins, because I know what you took before were not great vitamins.

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, so I'm still not going with the vitamin thing.

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.680
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm still going with you know your prayer.

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:36.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, I mean I mean, honestly, it's it's proof.

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.200
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:44.400
<v SPEAKER_01>Because the vitamins weren't really real that you're taking before you find out.

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, she was taking a lot of synthetic stuff, but yeah.

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.200
<v SPEAKER_01>But God is faithful.

00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.440
<v SPEAKER_02>It is his grace, isn't it?

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.599
<v SPEAKER_01>That his grace and his mercy has brought us through.

00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:06.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, you know, I I've run we have run into people, everybody who knows you and will tell a story about how Mom Porter prayed for them.

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.640
<v SPEAKER_00>And you you shifted heaven, you shifted the situation.

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.319
<v SPEAKER_00>God works through you, and I believe it's your faith.

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.000
<v SPEAKER_00>I believe it's your trust in Him.

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:24.640
<v SPEAKER_00>We just said the other day, gosh, if we could just take Mom Porter's view of every situation, and you said it this morning.

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:27.839
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, the thing is, why worry?

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.759
<v SPEAKER_01>He said to worry is sin.

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Why be consumed with something you can't do anything about?

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And when you get through, you're the only one with a headache.

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:40.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Nothing's changed.

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:48.880
<v SPEAKER_01>So you the only thing to do is to consider it's not by my power or mighty, it's by his spirit.

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.640
<v SPEAKER_01>So I got to trust him.

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Otherwise, I'd be sitting up in a nut house counting the spots on the wall.

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:57.440
<v SPEAKER_02>Been there.

00:26:58.400 --> 00:26:59.279
<v SPEAKER_02>You've been there.

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.359
<v SPEAKER_02>Yeah, yeah.

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.519
<v SPEAKER_01>We all have been there.

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.839
<v SPEAKER_01>But thanks be to God.

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.319
<v SPEAKER_01>He knows us by name, he knows every one of us.

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.559
<v SPEAKER_01>He has the hair on our head numbered, even the wigs.

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.960
<v SPEAKER_02>And that's true, wigs.

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.480
<v SPEAKER_01>There's wigs involved because we're counting a lot of hairs.

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:29.839
<v SPEAKER_01>So he is faithful, and since he's faithful, he wants us to trust in him because he cares.

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.319
<v SPEAKER_01>He's the solution, he's the only one who has the answer.

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:34.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.480
<v SPEAKER_01>He owned the cattle on a thousand hills, but he owned the hill.

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.200
<v SPEAKER_01>Amen.

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:40.160
<v SPEAKER_01>I say it all the time.

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.119
<v SPEAKER_01>I love that too.

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:49.519
<v SPEAKER_01>So we just have to trust him, whether we know how or not, we're learning daily.

00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:51.119
<v SPEAKER_02>That's why I hang around with her.

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:57.039
<v SPEAKER_02>I keep thinking if I just spend enough time with her, eventually I'm um it's going to connect.

00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.160
<v SPEAKER_02>That everything you say is so simple, right?

00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.079
<v SPEAKER_02>And it's not what you say, it's what God says.

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.680
<v SPEAKER_02>And we and we know this.

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:12.480
<v SPEAKER_02>But to have to to you know, to have you to go to and share that perspective just because that's what comes out.

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.319
<v SPEAKER_02>I mean, just it instantly comes out.

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.839
<v SPEAKER_02>I can talk to you for 30 seconds.

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:19.680
<v SPEAKER_02>You don't even ask me about, you know, certain things.

00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:26.000
<v SPEAKER_02>You it it's almost as if it doesn't matter what's going on because you're it's well, you can't have it.

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.599
<v SPEAKER_02>There's no, yeah, it's not chit chat.

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.079
<v SPEAKER_02>It's it's seriously quick.

00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:30.880
<v SPEAKER_02>How are you?

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.160
<v SPEAKER_02>Great, how's your family?

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:33.359
<v SPEAKER_02>Great, what's going on?

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.240
<v SPEAKER_02>Let's pray.

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:39.839
<v SPEAKER_02>You know, if I I mean it's it's and it and it and but the prayer is the conversation.

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.400
<v SPEAKER_03>Right.

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:52.880
<v SPEAKER_02>And it and it is, and it's and it's rich and it's simple and it's it's edifying and it's convicting, and it's a reminder of being grateful that God is there for us to go to.

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:54.640
<v SPEAKER_02>That's right.

00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:09.200
<v SPEAKER_02>Yeah, and I just told you today, if if there's anything you leave behind that God would let you deposit into me, it would just be your mind, the way you think about the things that matter, which is all things, right?

00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:10.480
<v SPEAKER_02>It all matters to God.

00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.359
<v SPEAKER_02>It all matters, and if it matters to us, it matters to him.

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:18.960
<v SPEAKER_02>But how do we perceive it and how do we package it for ourselves is the challenge.

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Right, right.

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:29.200
<v SPEAKER_00>But yeah, I I have to say it's a you know, we you live in an area in Pittsburgh, Wilkinsburg, and it's uh well, I really live in Homewood Breshton.

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.039

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.960

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:45.759
<v SPEAKER_03>Right.

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.799
<v SPEAKER_03>But Jesus takes care of me.

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.480
<v SPEAKER_00>I don't think anyone's messing with Mom Porter's house.

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.240

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.319
<v SPEAKER_01>So we are blessed of the Lord.

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:57.039

<v SPEAKER_01>I bless each one of you, be encouraged, be strengthened, be protected, be preserved, be safe, traveling, and we'll give God all the glory, all the honor, all the praise, knit families together.

00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:19.840
<v SPEAKER_01>So many families are disjointed and not speaking and what have you.

00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:28.880
<v SPEAKER_01>But God, we ask you, you say, where brethren dare dwell together in unity, there you command blessings.

00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:55.679
<v SPEAKER_01>I bless each one of you, and I pray that God will meet you at your point of need.

00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:01.360
<v SPEAKER_01>He knows you by name, and we thank him for it in Jesus' name.

00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:02.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Amen.

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.360
