Episode description

Many people live their lives stuck on material things/possessions. They worry about what other people have and what possessions people see that they have. Some people will do anything for possessions, titles, status, fame, fortune, material things, when at the end of it all, none of it matters. When stuff have you, there is no limit to what you will do to get it or to keep it. Many people stress themselves out badly, because of the lifestyles they lead. Some people try to keep up with what other's have, but they don't have the means other people have to get what they have. Priorities are wrong and the mindsets of many people are unhealthy due to bad past experiences/trauma.

Hey, hey, hey, hey hey, I'm bad with something for you to think about. Some of you need to hear this messhis you need to hear this message. There is nothing wrong with having stuff, things, material things, but don't let that stuff. Have you you heard me. There's nothing wrong with having stuff, but don't mess stuff. Have you many people many? It's the other way. You have allowed stuff to have you, meaning you have allowed things to be your master. You have allowed things to

control your life. What I don't get, especially about people who are not rich, they do all these things to make the rich people richer. You buy all of this stuff that you can't even afford, just because you want to be able to tell somebody what you got, or you want somebody to see what you have. Some of you buying all these expensive purses, but you don't have money to put in them. You don't even have money in the bank. You want this big, old, beautiful house, but you

frapen every month just to pay the mortgage. Some of you are going out and doing all types of foolishness just to maintain. You're losing your minds. You're literally losing your mind because you're struggling. You have so much turmoil on the inside because you try to maintain the certain lifestyles. Too many people in the world eyes are on the wrong things. People want everything and everyone, but they don't want Jesus. The focus is on the wrong things. And

I've told you, I've talked about it. You can gain everything you choose, everything you desire, everything you want, you can't take it with you when you pass. So many people have departed this world, so many. I just found out today someone I've been knowing since ninety nine. I was gonna call him today and fuss at him a little bit, and my other friend called me and told me he passed away. I'm like, what, we don't know? But people are so worrying about the wrong things living in

this world. You're worried about the wrong things. You don't know when your time is up. I don't know when my time is up. But I bet you I won't leave this world worrying about the wrong things, worrying about nothing. It's more like it. I mean, people are literally killing themselves trying to gain material things. And don't get me wrong, Please don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with having things, but when those things have

you, that's a different stories. They have you when you are obsessed over them. They have you when you have more than what you need. You know, like some people I talked about it on another episode, who have fifteen twenty cars. That's all for show. It's all for show, because no one on the face of the earth needs fifteen cars, if you're not a doggone dealership, no one. It's all for show in for what. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of your label. You should, but

something people are just overboard with mansions millions of dollars for what. Why do you need eight bedrooms in fifteen bathrooms? It makes no sense. But people struggle their lives, the whole lives to gain something or to keep what they gained all their lives because things are more important to them, and they do anything for those things. And like I said, there's nothing wrong with having

stuff, But it's a different story when when that stuff have you. I know people who have cars, and when I tell you, every time you see them, they're washing that car, dust in that car, doing something with that car because they're obsessed, over obsessed. Why I don't fool with things coming from yard sales and stuff like that. Because you don't know what's attached to them items. People. Some people are obsessed over their items,

over their stuff. Then they have all these old spiritual entities connected to their items, and then you bring them into your house. Now you're wondering why you're hearing things and seeing stuff because you gotten these objects that people were possessive and obsessive over. People just don't understand. You can't take it with you. Yes, you can enjoy it. Why you hear? But do you need all of the things that you have? Do you need all of the

cars, all of the homes. Do you need to hurt our homes over getting it? Because some people don't have the riches and all of that, but they do foolish things to get what they have. It's not worth it. I'm telling you the minds of people, Oh my God, oh my God, we need you, We need you, We need you Jesus. Because people are amok, they are running amok. Everything is like just chaotic, just chaotic. So much is going on all around the world, all

around the world, travesty, trauma, tragedy. I'm telling you all around the world justice past holiday, sup fourth of July, so many mass shootings, in the United States. Too much going on. You're not safe anywhere anymore. But people still got their eyes on the wrong things. Everybody wants everything, everyone anything, but Jesus, they're not interested because they want the world. They want what the world have to offer, not understanding what the

world has to offer. God provided, I don't care where you got it, who gave it to you. It comes from the Lord the Devil. Have so many people fooled, totally fooled and thinking that he had something to give you. He don't have anything to give you. Everything that you get comes from the Lord the Devil knows, but he got you fool I talked about this before. So people are caught up in their stuff. It really saddens my heart to see all of these people who are filthy rich, still

trying to get richer. You can't even spend what you have. You have no rest inside, you have no peace in your soul because you're so caught up in material things. People seeing you, people seeing what you have. That's why I said, it's nothing wrong with having stuff, but don't let stuff have you. For many stuff have them. People just go through life and oh my god, oh my god, it's just so horrible. People are so lost, so lost, so lost, but don't even realize it.

That's why I've told you so many times on my episodes. The one person people nelect the most itself. Because people are so busy chasing after other people and things, they neglect self. They're too worried about other people. They're too worried about what people see them doing, what they see them obtaining, what they have. That's what's most important to people. What I'm telling you, the focus is wrong. You can gain whatever it is you choose,

but you cannot take it with you. And as I said, I'm not saying people shouldn't have things, but don't let your things have you be able to have a piece of mind. Stop after this. If you don't have those name brand shoes or the biggest house or the nicest car, that you didn't accomplish something because you look at your left and your right, somebody have more than you, so what, so what? They can't take it with them either. Some of you are so obsessed over what you have until

it's just ridiculous. Nobody can even come in your house and sit in your living room because you so obsessed over your furniture I didn't say, let no one come into your home and tear up your stuff, but jeeves, if they can't come in and sit on it, Come on, now, that's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. And I've told you before coming up, it was eight of us I had. I have seven siblings. And let me tell

you that I grew up within the same home. I should say, because I do have a half sister and a half brother that didn't grow up in the same home. But we were never ever prohibited from being in any room. You're gonna go in there, you're gonna act as if you have some sense, you're gonna keep it clean. All we had to do all of that, all of it. My mother did not obsess over things, but people are. You can't go in my living room. You can't do this,

you can't do that. I can understand. When you come into someone's home you take off your shoes. I do that in my own home because you pick up all kind of dirt and germs when you walk throughout the day on the outside. You don't know what you stepped in. You can step in somebody's nasty flea, flim You know, you can anything. So you have to be careful about those kinds of things tracking that back into your home. So I understand that. I get that. Take off your shoes.

It's not saying that you think you got this or that going on you You got to take off your shoes in my house. No, it's for sanitary purposes, for health purposes. So I get that. But you're telling me I can't sit on your chat, on your couch, I can't go in a certain part of the house because it's just for show. Come on, that's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. You're gonna die and somebody else is gonna enjoy it. You never even enjoyed it yourself. It's just like people buy cars

and then don't want to put miles on them. What the heck? Why buy it? You know, when you buy a car, you drive it, right, So if you don't want to drive it, why you buy it. So now I'm sitting up there looking all pretty, but you're not driving it anywhere because you don't want to put miles on it. I yeah, yeah, that's ridiculous, so ridiculous. That is about as ridiculous as a person getting fifteen twenty twenty five cars. I could see if you as

a collector, but still there should be a limit. You're gonna die and somebody else gonna enjoy all of those nice cars you've collected over the years, or the cars that you've bought, somebody else gonna enjoy them. You're setting somebody else up for good. I mean, and I'm not trying to knock anybody from doing whatever they want to do. I'm just I just want you to see, think outside the box doesn't make sense just because you have the

money to buy it. Should you just because you don't have the money to buy it. Should you do foolishness to get it? Should you take and allow anything just to get it? But this is what people do. They are so obsessed overseen. I've told you all so many times. I think I'm probably one of the most playing is blah blah blah blah blah woman you ever want to meet. I don't care about that stuff. You know, back in the day when I was younger, and it's not even back in

the day, but I used to want to be an actress. You know, I've done acting in plays and things like that, so I thought I really wanted to do that. But I'm telling you if I have to be one of those people that's in the spotlight that I can't go anywhere and live in peace because people chasing me or want to snap my photo and at nah you can have it. Is it's not for me. It is God knows what he's doing. It's not for me, and I'm just not saying it. It's not for me. I don't are I own everything. I don't

care. I don't care. I don't want anyone chasing me down. I don't want anyone. Oh I love you, I love you and just worshiping me. I don't want it, but some people thrive on it. I don't want it. I don't want it at all. So I'm probably one of the most blood people. If you could, if you could say a person is blaing me. But I don't care what people think. I'm a wonderful person. I'm funny, I'm intelligent, I'm smart, I have many

many talents, so I'm a gym. But I'm just If you're looking for someone to to, you don't want to be in all of the glitz and glam one and all of the finer things in life one team to be seen. I'm not that girl. I'm not that woman. I'm just not the finer things in life. It's okay. It's okay because I like nice things, for sure. I like nice things. But I'm telling you they don't have to be name brands. They're gonna be nice, trust and belief.

I love to decorate. I'm an awesome decorator. So I mean I haven't looking good, looking great, And I'm not saying that some things I have are not I'm not saying I don't own any name brand. But when I tell you I'm not paying the full price for anything, no, I'm not doing that. Please. That's ridiculous to me. But people will go through hell and high water to get things. You got people trying to outdo the Joneses. You don't know where the Joneses got there's how they got it.

But you're doing all types of things to keep up with the jones Is stressing yourself out? It makes no sense. I don't. That's why I say you can have stuff, but don't let stuff have you. When you're controlled by what you have, that's a problem, that's an absolute problem. But so many people are that way. There are people who are rich who was not born into wealth. But now that they got wealth, you would think they were born with a civil and a good spoon in their mouth because of

how they act because their stuff have them. They may have the stuff, but the stuff definitely have them because it controls who they are. It makes them act in ways that they know they are not. Some people are so boogie and uppity because they have money, because they have things. Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible terrible. Some people discuss me when I see them,

how they act because they got something. When you don't have nothing, if you don't have Jesus, you just got a bunch of jump that's gonna rot and decay one of these days. It's gonna break down one of these days, decomposed one of these days. But that's what so many people, that's what they give their everything to. Boats, yachts, cars, planes, clothes, shoes, homes a just and again, let me say this again, I'm not saying getting nice things, having nice things something that's wrong

with it. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with having name brands. But if you feel you can't live your life if you don't have on those name brand shoes or those name brand clothes, you must stuff have you, stuff have you when you cannot live your life. You're not happy unless you have on a name brand you running around making the rich riches makes no sense to men while you're struggling and trust and believe. It goes for

the wealthy too. They struggle too, They go bankrupt and everything because the more money they get, the more money they spend because they have no financial wisdom. It goes on both ends of the spectrum, not just people who don't have money, people who have money struggling into because they're trying to maintain what they have, spending more. Every time they get a million, they're spending two million. It all goes back to that mindset, what's inside of

you. And I will stand and say to anyone, you can't take it with you. You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't. I can't cannot take it with us. And I love being comfortable, I love living comfortable. But I'm not going to the extreme with anything. Nothing. But I bet mine looks just as good as anyone's, if not better, because it's gonna be good looking, it's gonna be cute, it's gonna be nice, but it's not gonna be all of that as

far as the price, and it's gonna be good, comfortable. But I do it for me. I don't why would I have for the world. I care less what anybody think, what they see, what they don't see. It's from my eyes. But that's me, that's who I am. But most people are not, and that's why they have so many struggles mentally, because they're trying so desperately to keep up with what everybody else have. I don't care nothing about that. And when I tell you I'm serious,

I'm very serious. But if you saw me, so many people think, oh she's stuck up, she's boogie. I'm none of that. I am none. I'm so far from that. But I am perfect. You know, I'm particular. I'm particular, very particular about who I keep company with. I don't like anyone that's immature ratchet, because there's ratchet on both ends of the spectrum. Now, don't don't get it twisted. Money don't take away ratchetness. You know, it's just certain. It's certain type of people

that I that I hang out with. If I hang out certain types, and I will not sway on that at all. So my circle is very small, and I'm good with that because I'm good with me because I know who's the head of my life, and I recommend them to you. I recommend Jesus, I recommend the son, and I recommend the father. But that's your choice. But just know that that when you leave this natural body, you're not taking none of it with you. You've never seen a hearse

that's pulling or you haul behind it, have you? And I did take that from someone because it's true, you've never seen a hearse pulling a U haul and you never will. Because you can take it and have it put in the graveyard or wherever you at your body lies. You will not benefit from it, not another second after you depart this natural body, not a

second. So it's still gonna rot in the case, people got to start thinking thinking about what's most important because you're gonna depart this body one day. And I've told you many times what you choose now, if the world is more important to you, you know where you're gonna spend eternity. You know what you choose while you yet live. It's what you're gonna get when you

depart this body. That's why I say people worrying about their homes, their physical houses, their homes and their bodies, their physical bodies, but their spiritual houses. What you better get together because that's where you're gonna live eternal with eternity, forever and ever and ever. And I'm talking, but I mean what I say. It's your choice. It's your choice. We don't know when we're getting out of here. We don't know, we don't know.

I don't want to be attached to anything. I don't I don't want to be attached to any nything. And I am not attached to anything. I'm not, So I just wanted to let you know. It's nothing wrong with having stuff. But when you have an overabundance, what are you really trying to accomplish? What is your real reason for that overabundance? What's your real reason for it? Because you sure can't drive ten, fifteen, twenty

twenty five cars, You sure can't by yourself. So what's the real reason that you're wasting all that money that you could have been helping someone with? What is your real reason for hurting or harm in somebody to get their vehealle or to steal something else? What's the real motive I just want people to think about what they're doing. Look at all of the chaos around the world. So much is going on, so much, you gotta start thinking,

getting yourself together, changing how you think. Because the way it's going, any day, anytime, any second, we could be gone because somebody out there who have all of those unresolved issues, that unhealed heart, that unhealed mind, may come through and take you out or me. We don't know. But we got to get ourselves together, get our focus right. And I just I feel sorry for anyone who don't want to choose Jesus, but it's your choice. I'm definitely not forcing it. It's your choice. I

recommend him, but it's your choice. But regardless of what you choose, you still won't take your stuff with you. It don't matter. You will not take not of anything, nothing, not a centimeter of it. You know how small at centimeter is. You won't take that much of it with you. Nothing. So that's all I'm gonna say. I'm leaving it right there. Thank you for listening. Please share this episode.
