O blaeth the Lord heaven. Have you wanted to obey the Lord? I
-
appreciate my son. Amen. They't so glad to be in the house of
-
our father's spiritual father, heavenly Father. Thank you, pastor talking right now
-
about being molded and changed. God give me this message. Last Sunday night
-
he got up here to talking about I'm hammering at this and God immediately spoken
-
to my heart. My heart started raising and burning the fire. So I
-
don't take it lightly as an honor to be in this whole bit. It's
-
a serious thing and there's nothing to play around with, taking my burthen serious.
-
And I'm certainly thinking for my father that I've got such a man of
-
God teaching me how to raise my kids. I'm still under his subjection.
-
He's still my father. I still take the beauty and correction through him as
-
a father and as a pastor. I'm twenty two years old. I don't
-
mean nothing. I still have to listen to him. Still be obedient,
-
don't not being rebellious? Is my honor to be a son of his God.
-
Love him to death. Thankful, thankful that God borned me into this
-
family, giving it him. Have y'all enjoyed that preaching, But yes,
-
wonderful I enjoyed it. If you have your Bibles turned on me to Isaiah
-
chapter number fifty four, verse sixteen. Once you read this, you'll understand
-
God's gonna speak to someone tonight. And most of y'all, most preachers know
-
this. Whenever God gives a message to someone to preach, it's for us
-
too. We take it to heart too, just as much as it is
-
for you. It's for us God. Whenever I started reading this and God
-
start working on me, I started myself getting challenged and convicted and realizing,
-
God, I need to do a better job. We haven't. Please stands
-
for the reason of the word. Right here it says, behold, I
-
have created the skin that bloweth, the coals in the fire that bringeth forth
-
an instrument for his work. And I have created the waste to destroy This
-
here is talking about a blacksmith. Blacksmiths mold things. Pastor before I got
-
up here preaching to talk about being moaned and brothers down. So let's pray
-
and ask God to help us here. God help me the cloud cloud God,
-
God not to say anything. Hope you happy to say God all you
-
have to say nothing. I don't want to say anything, but I'm not
-
the poster war God. I ask the poor Christian berry Lord and challenge our
-
hearts God, and be going to us. We be sure enough. Pray
-
Lord and Jesus thing, pray man and they man. This here, Eliza
-
said, is talking about a blacksmith, and how many of y'all been through
-
the old mill and in Tennessee at the blacksmith shop where you you see the
-
men work in the metal. It's an awesome thing, but it's a hard
-
work. It's hard work. They're over top of colds hot furnace and hammering
-
is back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. It's a
-
process to get the reward. But they stay with it. They stick to
-
it because they know what the end goal is gonna be. And I pray
-
that we'll be challenged tonight to take heed of this. I really feel like
-
God has given me this netses for fathers and their sons who are raising future
-
fathers. I had a strong burden about this when I began to pray about
-
it. And as fathers, we are the blacksmith of our children's lives.
-
God's placed them in our lives that it's our job to make sure that they
-
are becoming what God is wanting them to be. That way, they are
-
whatever weapon that he has need of, whatever type of tool that he has
-
need of. Blacksmith, they create everything. And in the Vile Day,
-
that's what it was saying, is he's having to create something in order to
-
get some work done. So he's having to put forth work to even begin
-
to work. And as fathers, we got to do the same thing.
-
We got to put forth some work to show our sons how to work.
-
That way then has passed on from generation to generation, from one man to
-
another, not raising slawful sons, but working sons. And I know that
-
God is gonna do something here tonight. I just pray that we really get
-
with it because God's given them into our hands and their He's a metal that
-
we are for me that God said, look, I'm giving you this.
-
Now you have to take control of this. Yeah, I know God is
-
the ultimate blacksmith in my life. But my father played it a very important
-
role in my life. And as fathers, we have a very serious thing
-
that we have to take in account. That is nothing to fool around with.
-
I don't want my son to be left behind, you know. And
-
when rebellion sticks up that I forget to hammer that out, I don't put
-
it back in the fire when it's starting to cool down. I got they
-
gotta go put it back in the fire to heat it up again, because
-
if they don't, when it pulls down, it's unfinished. And whenever they
-
go to put it back in, if I get a crack in it,
-
don't let it cool down. When that rebellion sticks up, it's time to
-
strike on that handle. There's something called a cutting a cutting table. If
-
you forget to use the cutting to cut out that rebellion, that stubreness,
-
that one that pussed up against you. Whenever us fought with use kids,
-
Whenever your parents say no, what does that mean? That means no.
-
I'm sick and tired of seeing these pop fathers having a to pretty much present
-
a court case to their children between a touch and a jury on a list
-
of reasons why they said no. No. My father said no, it's
-
not mine. You need to think, well, why not? Why can't
-
I do this? God said no? My father said no, he know
-
that I do. It's not your job to question the authority in your life.
-
God did not give you the hammer to hamry outsore lives. He gave
-
it to your father. You ought to be in subjection to him. You
-
are to be motive by his Hannah, not to kick against it, not
-
to fight against what he has, but to do and to submit to the
-
angle, to submit to the hammers, to submit to the fire, because
-
just for the well being of your thought, the're gonna shielding to the water
-
you and if you are, you repel it and you get they're gonna do
-
that things day because you don't no mission, starre not on a social mission.
-
Yes, the blacksmith have the problem. Come up along the way my
-
bus and Mike crack. But they're persistent fathers. I know I'm young,
-
but I'm a father too. I'm preaching it myself, So don't get me
-
wrong. Don't give up on your medal. Whenever they when they forget to
-
struggle, I began to struggle. This man never gave up. And take
-
your no what it's out of my hands. Yeah, it was out of
-
his hand. But he went to God and said, how do I strike
-
this? Where is the pressure point that I need to it? That way
-
is moted the warmth is knocked out of there, it begins to be straight,
-
it's strong again. I need you to show them how to be Amanda.
-
Don't show them what a quitter looks like. Then. I grew up
-
my whole life watching my father. Whenever he sent his mind to do something,
-
he's finished it completely. Sure, it might have took it a little
-
while, but he was persistent. He was constant, always there, going
-
back to the problem because he knew if he didn't do it, then it
-
was just a waste of time, a waste of track on a piece of
-
trash. But you can't give up on your issue that you have. Your
-
children need you to stay faithful and persistent. Rested a little harder until he
-
saw the warp in the metal began to straighten out. He began to get
-
down on his knees and say, Lord, I know he has an issue.
-
I know from experience, as I've already said, I know what it's
-
like to be struggling. But I had a father that was faithful, that
-
didn't give up. So don't give up on your children. You get that
-
metal hard enough and it begins to glow hot enough, it's motivle. Keep
-
putting them in the furnace. That that's what it takes. You know what,
-
you know what a furnace is, bend them over the bed. That
-
might be your hammer. That any way, you got to break that mold.
-
You got to break that stubborness, because they'reficially gonna spend your face whenever
-
you telling to do something, they say no, you do it. I
-
would have got jack slapped across the face if I said guy as a kid,
-
Oh really, but I'm just saying, I would have got tore up.
-
I would have got tooken into the blacksmith show aka the bedroom, and
-
got through any more war out till I realized I walked out just too exactly
-
in by leading us a hammer to the anvil must move him to be o
-
beat up and to submit to the hammer into the fire. Father, don't
-
back down, stand your ground and found that hammer. Get that man off
-
until it becomes part of the angles. If that's what it takes in order
-
for you to break that can tell you STU be preak that stubborn hot to
-
engage that abuse. Sons and daughters, don't get angry, and then it's
-
what you need to make you into what you're supposed to be. I'm getting
-
sick and tired of that backing down to their kids and their sons and say,
-
you know what, it's my duty has a father to raise him.
-
Pastor said it to the church. You didn't know if you're in my lives
-
and they saw him in the gaming room, it's in my note pact.
-
That's the same thing, GOP speaking. Someone. Don't throw them in the
-
gaming room and STI technology be the father of him. I'm gonna put outward
-
and twist it, but he ain't. Kids. I stood dunk the stools,
-
and your father throws them in there, and let that figure out.
-
For tell, yeha, throw a kid in the rooms, they're gonna come
-
out warped in the mind, warped in the heart. That is why we
-
see the children in this day and age, the way they are walking around
-
with headphones on. Don't even know what the outside world is. I grew
-
up outside of the house. I don't know what it's like to be grown
-
up in a bed room with the door shut, headphones on my ear,
-
the pleasing two for Fataday, that games a belt day. Me and my
-
brothers, even my sister grew up running an orange groves and chest deep in
-
mud. It's a miracle of God. We didn't get some kind of disease.
-
We had a mud hole and our eight acres. That excavator got stuck
-
in. We'd like to get in and jump off into it and it'll be
-
literally chest deepen the Granted we were little kids, but the miracle of God,
-
we didn't get smothered in that stuff. But that's my childhood thanks to
-
a father I never saw him. You know, let me need to s
-
go here and send this repliner. No, you say, hey, y'all
-
want to go do some fishing. Hey, let's go do this. Let
-
me spend a little bit of time with you. It's in put it that
-
you take them somewhere. Don't get something tall up and worked that you say,
-
you know what I provide for him, that's good enough. Yeah,
-
it's good. But you got to spend time for them because they need someone
-
to fit it. They need to look at the time. We want to
-
say all that time, I'm supposed to act and that's not what I'm supposed
-
to do. Fathers. Take them fishing, take them honey, take them
-
out to hen. I don't care, but do something to him don't the
-
storm in the room. If they figure it out, their kids gonna be
-
your grandkids. And you're gonna say, God, if you most disrespectful kids
-
I've ever seen, I'm your grandfather. You ask that monster. You refuse
-
to take the planet. You excuse to say no. What you here is
-
hamm, give me up five? You mean an handle? Go into the
-
black man, bleve me to work on you a little bit paraphrasing, everybody
-
says the bosses shall left forward to his own, bring his mother to shame.
-
Also bring he follows the shames. Preaching to myself, I got the
-
marrything I need to work on. I know that. But the difference is
-
God showed me, and I said, God, I gotta do it.
-
I don't want to raise the monster. I don't want to raise someone who
-
has picked by faith. Whenever I get older and I need someone to take
-
care of me, and then they think, you know what, you didn't
-
take care of me. You let felon. You know what, here's your
-
own medicine. Go find yourself some help. Oh God, Dad knew that
-
rebellion was the reason the worping than when the metal began to cool down,
-
when stubborn began to kick in, and I can probably just about say that
-
I was raising a home that whatever you know, the world says, once
-
you're eighteen, you're on your own. You do what you want to do,
-
no love else. I was never raised with that mindset that once I'm
-
eighteen, I do whatever I want to do. No, that's the life
-
and the pits of hell. You're eighteen, but you're still a child.
-
You're still not mature. Have you paid bills for years on yours? Do
-
you know how to balance a budget? Do you know how to discipline yourself?
-
No? In fact, the case you would have been born an adult,
-
you were born as child, because you have to be raised on how
-
to react, how to act, how to respond to pressure. We got
-
some of these people at work, this new generation of kids, whine about
-
everything, have a little thing, you're running to the boss. They asked
-
me, why don't you report it? I don't care about it. That
-
there is you, It ain't mine. I was raised with tough hide.
-
If I got a problem, I go to the sort before I got whine
-
about it. Don't tell them and your father gets on to you, don't
-
go mama, mama, mama, daddy said, Dad, Daddy, Candy.
-
Just think them about it. You know who's took him out. He
-
wouldn't do that, says go leeping. No, don't do do around your
-
back. That's in your mama. Well, that's one of the worst whippings
-
you ever received, because you know what most mamas do. Hey, did
-
you tell so and something? No? Yeah? I said, no,
-
tell them to come here. Oh man, this is the world's worst thing.
-
We got in trouble with when we would ask our cousins, Hey,
-
don't ask that if you could stay the night, oh man, because I
-
thought it was more likely to say yeah if they asked. We didn't know
-
what to ex back, Susie, walk in the door, go to the
-
bedroom. Oh, we thought everything was okay. Walk in the door.
-
Did you tell someone so to come? Ask me? Yes? Didn't I
-
tell you not to do that? Yeah? You did? Oh man,
-
what a waman at you asked? I learned the hard wood you wait to
-
get paidback. I'm just kidding, but it's a part of that. We
-
don't forget to use our hands, I said. Then we wear one every
-
day. Oh, very easy accessible one. Natalie just got the belt introduced
-
to her life yeah, I don't hit her hard or so don't know.
-
But now to the point where if she kicks against me or she vokes her
-
mama, all I have to say is do you want to go get that
-
belt? Go, sir. Immediately she's a perfect she understands what's to come
-
with that bothers. That's the problem with most generations. These kids were both
-
they've never seen what's the belt? They just about all about it. Well,
-
you're supposed to wear it around your pants, that's what it's for.
-
Yeah, I imagine it's some of these people. You ask them in the
-
world, they wouldn't know what it is. Oh, God remoted precious metal
-
that has the potential and the ability to be used in the service of God
-
only if we molte it correctly, only if we present God as sword.
-
God is shiny, and said, Lord is strange, it's sturdy, and
-
it's strong. That is ready for battle. My friend, don't you they're
-
the black men. They have a quenching process. It's not your job to
-
quench that sword. It's God. Just say, you know what. They
-
are ready for the next phage. They are ready for you. Let God
-
use the quention. Don't you make that decision on your own. It's God's
-
choice, not yours. You're the black man. You're in charge of raising
-
hell, you're in charge of discipline. We need to teaching to be obedient
-
to the leading, the goddance of God's voice, day in, day in,
-
day out. And we need to know the right moment to strike.
-
Strike while the middle is hot when it's told it won't do nothing but make
-
it mad. It'll only provoke it. The Bible says, balls don't provoke
-
your children to wrast. You hit at the wrong moment. It's the wrong
-
moment exactly you'll hit it. The hammer bounces my back off. I've seen
-
it. Whenever they fly hammering force, that's still. When it's hot,
-
it bounces higher. But whenever it's soft, it's motival and it's platable.
-
That intention meets his market, and that metal molts and it begins to stay
-
where was hammered. To add the right pressure and add the right power.
-
God's giving you the strength as a father to be more of a man than
-
they are, to add pressure at the right pressure points. Whenever they start
-
out with making the sword, it might be a big old ball bearing some
-
sorts, just a round ball. They'll put it in that that that furnace
-
come out glowing red. They might get three three good whites out of it
-
with that press before it has to go back in the process is worth it.
-
Our dad had to mold five boys to be men, all in an
-
account that makes you're his daughter stay like a woman. He mentioned that.
-
I know that, but that's also God had told me to say the same
-
thing. It is possible. You don't have to raise him the same.
-
You don't need a girl that's half boy and a boy that's half girl.
-
It's possible. We're point proven right here, my brothers and my sister.
-
She's full blooded girl with full blooded boy. There ain't no daying us got
-
in the power God and boom Man before he's gonna raise the finantition a pure
-
blooded boy thanks to a pure blooded man. That the importance it's worth.
-
In a bad, bad shape, some bad shaping. Maybe we go into
-
ward. We're gonna be in trouble. Got a bunch of cowards in there.
-
And the first shots sounded, they're gonna be running for the hills.
-
Now, imagine as soon as they touched the ground, they're gonna be running
-
for the nearest tree, a bunch of cowards, all thanks to fathers who
-
gave up on their children, said all, they'll figure it out. Maybe
-
that video game will show them how to fight every one of them. School
-
shooters. They go to a place where there's unarmed children. They know there's
-
gonna be no resistance, no resistance fathers. They go to who they think
-
is the weakest. They go what they think there's least resistance. If you're
-
you're the man of the house, you're supposed to have the most resistance.
-
You're supposed to know, you know what, you're supposed to have enough God,
-
and to be able to tell them, I should have followed my gun,
-
I should have something to what I said. Regret it's sure to be
-
followed. Whenever you don't stay in the back of your mind, you know
-
the whole time. I should have stayed with what I said, because then
-
you know what, you spend the whole night worrying, Oh are they okay?
-
Are they okay? I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't have it.
-
If you thought so much that you should have it, then you shouldn't have
-
if you're not one hundred percent sure to know. I know there's times when
-
us boarder brothers had asked catify, because do something I just don't feel one
-
hundred percent comfortable with it. Sure, it let us down, but we
-
knew not to challenge him, and over time. Actually this church experience said,
-
not long ago, it's on Wednesday night on past said, I keep
-
feeling started right, toldus will go on and pray. All right. It's
-
the same example. Children, your father said no, they might be regretted,
-
and you might be granted. Pastard almost got his door jerked open by
-
some man. The same thing can happened to you. Father. I'm telling
-
you stand your ground. Don't you back down? Yeah? They coming to
-
you with him, pumpy dog guys. Oh, Daddy, you know I'm
-
your favorite. You're my favorite. I love you, daddy. You're sure
-
to regret it. I can promise you you'll love it afterwards. Now you'll
-
be standing in front of their caskets saying, oh, I love you.
-
Why didn't I say no? I knew I felt that bit in my stomach.
-
I knew not to go with that. I knew not to shut them
-
into that room. I knew to take the fission. I knew the extended
-
opportunity to come watch dad work. You regret it, I promise you.
-
I'm thankful for a father that knew what it was like to say, hey,
-
boys, I want to go run some hawks. We didn't have pastors
-
to really hone. Well, we did, but a lot of times we
-
didn't want to ask no one because Dad wanted the only to be him and
-
his sons. Right, you know how he ran hogs out of a diesel
-
truck, running them on the side of the road. We'd pull up on
-
the side of the throw the dog. Now, that was the best time
-
of our life. We see more hogs in than we ever did in the
-
pasture. Right, those are precious memories that I'll never forget. I hope
-
them, dear to my heart. Fathers, you have to make memories for
-
your children. Pastors said the other night, they're gonna tell your story.
-
Here I am telling his story, telling my story. My son's gonna tell
-
my story. I got good memories. I got fond memories, y'all.
-
I remember all the spankings. That's what made me into the man that I'm
-
not feeling something great, man, But that's what made me into the man
-
that made me ready to become a father. Because now I too know what
-
it's like. I've experienced it. I've experienced it. I know what good
-
it does. Sure it cost a little pain, but it's worth it.
-
Proverbs thirteen to twenty four says he that spareth his rod hate if his son
-
you don't get to put him? You hate that belts got dust on it.
-
You hate he ain't never darken the doors of your bedroom. You hate
-
him, You ain't never stan thun. Let me talk to you. You
-
hate. According to the Bible, you not sposy. If the tur lass
-
you might have don't know a had a child, you might as well put
-
him up for a daunt. Spect I got straighter, some one who will
-
love you better than you. Stead up care for Get on, throw out
-
the rod. If you're gonna spare it, ain't no use to you right
-
out, get rid of it, because if you got it, you're always
-
gonna see. I know I should have done it. I know I'm supposed
-
to use that. If you ain't gonna use it, it's no use to
-
you. If you ain't gonna love your son, it's no use to you.
-
I don't know what it's like to have a father don't love me.
-
Thank you for worth it. The whoop was worth it. Lets me know
-
that he didn't hate me. I told my mom the other day, I
-
never understood that's saying this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you.
-
There's sometimes I say, oh, that ain't true. But no, I
-
too know what it's like now. Oh man, when they start looking at
-
you, yeah, lips pooped down, eyes welled up. No, daddy,
-
it's tempting. It's very tempting. It is the back of my head.
-
I gotta know. That's small. Sure it might be a little cute,
-
but whenever it gets older, oh, it's gonna be an ugly sin.
-
Say, rebellion is the sin of witchcraft. Witchcraft, that's a hard
-
sin. Rebellion is the same You want your child to be a witch because
-
you refuse to take down rebellion. He that spareth his rod, hated his
-
son, but he that love with him, chasing to him be times,
-
multiple times, over over and over again. Hey, don't do that.
-
Then, I tell you, no, don't wait until it's too late to
-
take out the hen and apply force to the inbling. They needed to be
-
voted now. If you don't vote them, the world would gladly say,
-
hey, we got plant. You let us moult, you let us mulsha.
-
They'll be turned into something. But will it be out of what you
-
aren't supposed to be producing out of your blacksmith's shop? Would that be a
-
sorn in God's hand? More sight and the devils. The devil will use
-
the fourth side, but God can use the fourth thought. I think that's
-
how you pronounce that word. I don't know, but that's that thing.
-
Now you see the grim reaper hold signifies something that kills. Devil would love
-
to make another killer might not be physical, but they say something just slaughter
-
a wounded one. We all raising children here together. My kids are watching
-
the fanias kids fan kids watch. Everybody's watching everybody. So if they don't
-
do their part, my kids are gonna see that and every butt me even
-
more because they think, well, I'm when the Faniel's kids are doing it,
-
that's gonna happening. Brother, I promise you. I'm just using that
-
as an example. Our kids watch yours, Your kids watch ours. So
-
parents, it's hard job to come up on the same standard. It's all
-
pastors, pastor and all pastors, and future is hard talk to do.
-
The thing's been talking. For all, we're raising children. You refuse to
-
correct, another parent might get the idea to do the same thing. It's
-
important that we stay on top of an issue. We don't say I'm gonna
-
deal with it later. I'll get to it whenever I have the time.
-
No, the time is now. The metal is hot. It's hot with
-
rebellion strike it beout that wark. We're forging fathers. That is the tide.
-
I forgot to give it. Forging fathers. I'm forging a father,
-
you're forging for him. They're gonna copy me me. I'm copying him,
-
and my son's gonna copy me. We're gonna act the same kids, hopefully
-
the same respect. I wanna say something real quick. The disrespect goes on
-
to this world. Man, I'm a twenty two year old man. I
-
start paying to when I realized that I've acted you when he said yes to
-
my dad, I'm scared. Look sit oh, man. If I send
-
a text and I realized they did say sir at the end of it,
-
oh, I'm quick to say yes sir. I mean yes sir. I
-
don't want any to think that I'm getting respecting him. I don't want to
-
complim in that line, still bad, Why fucked your bad? You though?
-
You no man, it's gonna come out. Oh you are thought.
-
It's no matter still the day who died? This man and brother? How
-
my brother jib even talk about me time? That a different, But it's
-
all know about your man. Mother. Sorry, I don't care how old
-
you are. You're on your God gotta still your time. Still hell.
-
This means to be respected with the utmost authority. He is our father.
-
Don't you kick against his rod? Don't you kick against his amble. We're
-
fortunate fathers, the next generation of fathers. If we all keep raising our
-
kids the way this world is, we're gonna have babies as fathers. If
-
they don't leave a kid to us own. Now I know this is already
-
happening. Where's babies being born and they're leaving them for dead? You're leaving
-
your child for dead. Whenever you don't come back and you don't stay with
-
it, you don't redew that God, what would be the outcome of the
-
motive your child? Once he's been through the furnace, once he's been on
-
the handle, will it really be a scythe that's an ugly looking thing.
-
It's a creepy looking thing. Whenever I was in prayer about this, I
-
can't see that a sword shiny by crazy and the handle was made of gold.
-
I pray this to give them a child and I a sword that God
-
is proud of. Wild say, this is a sword that will pierce the
-
hard finds his mark. It hits them where they need it. Right will
-
they find out? Lord, Lord, Lord, I have rebellious. Lord,
-
forgive me the sword that can be wielded by the hand of God.
-
That's the big sword. But God to do it. You can do it
-
by the help of God. God is forcing you. He is voting you.
-
He's putting you on the pressure. He's putting you in the fire.
-
He's putting you to the animal. Don't despise it. Share. It's a
-
little painful at times, but it's working. It's what works I heard all
-
my life. Father, like son, Your kids are gonna feed us like
-
you, whether it's daughter or boy. Fathers, it's your job too.
-
You have a hammer and anvile too. You're not out of this, dollars,
-
You're not out of this. This is you too. Focus and may
-
your father's a son because it's me that the responsibility of my child's has been
-
placed on my wife's too, primarily mine. Don't forget your dollars, fathers,
-
they need just as much work. Oh man, Because my daughters are
-
sweet, I have to be careful. That's a weakness. I love them,
-
love them both, all of them. Why do you think this generation
-
of fathers is so messed up? Because fathers just give up, walk away.
-
It's not my pride. Here's a three thousand dollar game. If you
-
see, here's some vulgar games, or learn how to be a man.
-
Stare at his creak for eight hours straight and they come out and they wanted
-
to while of their kids were wearing glasses, phones in their face constantly.
-
Because it's an addiction. It's an addiction. If you don't break that mold,
-
rebellion will become an addiction. Jealousy will come forward. Go get cracks
-
in your sword, O get weak, warped and frail, a sword not
-
worthy to be wildered in the hand of God. And my brother's in a
-
bedroom. Could Pastor do it? Oh? He had to free and everybody
-
else did. He hasn't mean that everybody else did, but it knew what
-
it was like. Let's stand. You knew the importance, but it just
-
gonna come. You knew the importance of raising a man that was gonna raise
-
his children. He knew that he was gonna have grandchildren that needed a father
-
that would stand strong, not cow like a little sissy. Boy? Would
-
you bring forth an instant ready for the work of God? Or will your
-
medal be unfinished? Whenever God says, hey, is it done? I'm
-
ready to use it. But is it? Then you have to say,
-
Lord, I didn't prath when I should have. I didn't hammer when I
-
should have. They kicked me, but I said, just this once,
-
I'll let it go. What you do it the first time, we'll do
-
it the second time. Because you said I gonne at one one time before
-
again, it is okay. They seem to be divine that thing you none.
-
You can't even discipline your kids. You're not getting older. You they
-
got free rain. They're just as much a period of that house as you
-
want. They think they have. There's as much authority as you have.
-
Man. We are the head of the house. We make the ultimate choice.
-
We say yes, we say no. Them kids are under your roof.
-
That's your kid. The pastor said, he told us, long as
-
you're in my roof your mind, you abide by my rules whatever I say,
-
oh man. Whenever we got vehicles, Dad Bottom, he always said,
-
there ain't gonna be none of us coming home late just because you're eighteen.
-
Don't give you free rain. You're gonna be home. I think was
-
like ten thirty or something. What we had to constantly tell you, hey
-
dad, if, oh man, if we were one minute, like where
-
are you at? I told you to be home at ten thirty because he
-
knew if we stretched it ten thirty one and that time on ten thirty two,
-
and if he continue to be okay with it, next saying us one
-
two in the morning out on the town because we have freedom. Freedom,
-
because we're eighteen, we could do what he wanted. That's not true.
-
Don't let down when they fight the hammer, take him put in a fire,
-
a heat at pressure. Don't let your hammer go the waist. Proverbs
-
not ten and twenty says you're counsel and receive instruction that thou mayst be wise,
-
And the latter is hear the counsel of your parents. Hear it that
-
you may be wise than your letter is. I want to be that man.
-
I may not be the same as him, but God has extended the
-
same opportunity to me as he had. And it's up to me to take
-
my child and say, you know what, I'm gonna make you to the
-
man that God want you to be. I'm gonna fight for you. Sure,
-
the anvil is painful, the cutting table that a painful, but the
-
end result is worth it. The end result is worth it. The lato
-
don't refuse to use them. We are forging the fathers of this generation and
-
into like me. Nashial Thistle before jes
