[00:00:57] I don't be wanting to do nothing.
[00:00:59] Shout out to all the radio personnel who got the producers and got the producers and bring
[00:01:04] in everything for them and make my tea and coffee for me.
[00:01:06] Yeah, one day.

[00:01:09] I love it.
[00:01:10] But no, thank you all for joining us.
[00:01:13] Come on, let's talk about this collaboration back to you.
[00:01:16] This track is dropping tonight.
[00:01:18] Come on, Wengie.
[00:01:19] You know, first, when you were thinking about making this track, creating this
[00:01:23] track, you know, why did you choose Toya and V Rose to add to it?
[00:01:28] Why not?
[00:01:29] You know, I mean two of the best queens in the pack.
[00:01:32] Very humble for one.
[00:01:33] You know what I mean?
[00:01:34] V Rose is just like, like you said, she don't get her flowers and V Rose is like, if she
[00:01:40] gets the door, if the door opens for her, like it's supposed to open, it's crazy.
[00:01:45] People be coming fall into the altar because just she's just a blessing anointed.
[00:01:48] You know what I mean?
[00:01:49] Toya, very humble.
[00:01:50] You know, she'll give you the shirt off her back and like all three of us, we have like
[00:01:53] the same personalities.
[00:01:55] We are all humble.
[00:01:56] We love music.
[00:01:57] We love God and we just want to see people win.
[00:01:59] It doesn't matter if you're, you have a big name or a small name.
[00:02:01] You notice we work with people that's not the elite of the elite.
[00:02:04] You know what I'm saying?
[00:02:05] I mean, because we were once those people that got told no.
[00:02:10] You know what I mean?
[00:02:11] And I think we just want to show people that we could do more together than alone.
[00:02:14] You know what I mean?
[00:02:15] Through Christ.
[00:02:16] I love it.
[00:02:17] I'm a fan of each and every one of y'all.
[00:02:20] I mean, I'm just in all of the stuff y'all do.
[00:02:23] It's amazing.
[00:02:24] But I've loved watching your journey, man.
[00:02:26] You are just fantastic.
[00:02:28] So and the song is fire.
[00:02:31] And I'm with focus.
[00:02:32] Yes. Can we get some more music?
[00:02:33] Please. And thank you.
[00:02:34] Can we can we get an album?
[00:02:36] Can we can we have the album and shout out to all things V Rose focus.
[00:02:40] And I talk about this all the time.
[00:02:41] I said she's our team Marie.
[00:02:43] Like we we need to turn Marie.
[00:02:46] We needed her.
[00:02:47] And that's who is.
[00:02:49] Good.
[00:02:49] And that's her.
[00:02:50] That's her right there.
[00:02:51] So it's just like a legend.
[00:02:52] And honestly, there was nobody else doing what she does in the game.
[00:02:58] And so it's just like an honor to know to know her at least one day I get to do
[00:03:03] something.
[00:03:05] And you cry.
[00:03:07] It's true.
[00:03:07] This is all facts.
[00:03:08] Everybody knows that.
[00:03:09] You know that trophy.
[00:03:10] It's a trophy.
[00:03:12] Yeah.
[00:03:13] No, it's real.
[00:03:15] She don't know.
[00:03:17] Y'all.
[00:03:18] I mean, you could out sing just about anybody being like we just saying that
[00:03:22] we know we're not.
[00:03:23] We mean we've heard all of the work.
[00:03:26] We know all of the all of the levels you didn't went to all the features
[00:03:31] you've been on all the stuff you did by yourself.
[00:03:33] Like you've been doing it well over 10 years in this game.
[00:03:37] And you know, in our game, that's a long time and still sound good
[00:03:42] and still without hitting you.
[00:03:43] And you ain't just putting out fluff.
[00:03:45] No, that's a long time in our little genre.
[00:03:47] Let's be very clear.
[00:03:48] So and every time you hear her, she just sounds better and better and better
[00:03:51] and better.
[00:03:52] You know what I mean?
[00:03:53] This record.
[00:03:54] Sometimes I think she'd be playing.
[00:03:56] I mean, like, I don't even think she's singing all the way for real.
[00:03:59] It's like, all right, let me just give him this.
[00:04:03] And you know what though, there's no other.
[00:04:04] That's right.
[00:04:05] You hear her.
[00:04:05] She sings it and she sings that song live like when we're doing
[00:04:08] the video shoot and it's like singing.
[00:04:10] It's like not just like the record.
[00:04:11] Yeah.
[00:04:12] You know what I mean?
[00:04:12] And a lot of artists can do that.
[00:04:13] They can record it.
[00:04:14] But when they come out, they can't really perform that song.
[00:04:16] You know what I mean?
[00:04:17] So right, that's important.
[00:04:19] Super important.
[00:04:20] I'm right here.
[00:04:21] You say.
[00:04:22] Oh, we ain't seen you in my back.
[00:04:27] This is what love look like.
[00:04:29] This is what love looks like.
[00:04:30] We supposed to give you your roses and tell you to your face
[00:04:33] when you go to heaven.
[00:04:34] Yeah, we're going to tell you right now.
[00:04:35] We ain't going to just speak once you go to heaven and be,
[00:04:37] you know, remembering it.
[00:04:38] Now we're going to tell you now you did and we proud of you.
[00:04:41] So keep doing what you're doing.
[00:04:43] Come on, you brought something different to this track, too, as well.
[00:04:46] These bars you laced on this track.
[00:04:49] Talk about your inspiration and you just bringing your little flavor to it.
[00:04:55] I don't know, man.
[00:04:56] Like now I just approach records differently.
[00:04:59] I think just being more mature through Christ and just really just
[00:05:03] sit down with the record.
[00:05:05] I do.
[00:05:05] I do way more praying.
[00:05:06] Like I do a lot of praying.
[00:05:08] Once I moved just I'm just writing.
[00:05:10] Now it's like, man, I really want to see proof in these records.
[00:05:13] Like I wasn't thinking like that.
[00:05:16] But that's just spiritual maturity.
[00:05:17] Like I want proof in these records.
[00:05:18] Like what do they need to hear?
[00:05:20] And that's kind of like what came through my spirit, what came through my opinion.
[00:05:25] What has God shown you?
[00:05:26] Because I feel like you ain't giving us all.
[00:05:28] What what has God showed you in your journey that you really change?
[00:05:34] How do you want it to deliver your music?
[00:05:36] How do you want it to make sure that you be more ministry driven
[00:05:40] in the bars and every single verse you give out?
[00:05:44] I ain't going to lie.
[00:05:45] I just listened to a sermon and it really touched me.
[00:05:49] The Michael Tide series he has on fruit right now.
[00:05:53] You don't need to ask God for nothing.
[00:05:55] No, you just need to ask him for a fresh, a fresh vision, a fresh
[00:05:59] perspective on what you're already doing.
[00:06:00] You you don't need more.
[00:06:02] You just need a fresh perspective of what you're doing.
[00:06:04] God give me this and make it fresh.
[00:06:06] And doing that, you just become thankful for what you already have.
[00:06:09] You know, I said, I need to grab this.
[00:06:10] I need to grab that.
[00:06:11] Now let me look at what I already have.
[00:06:13] Let me go from a gratitude and gratefulness.
[00:06:16] Let me really tap in the guy like, how do you want me to use you?
[00:06:19] How do you want to use me?
[00:06:20] And he just said that about vision and it really just I don't know.
[00:06:25] It just kind of changed everything for me.
[00:06:26] Like how I look at things, how I just try to approach things differently
[00:06:31] because you don't need something to understand.
[00:06:33] You just need a fresh perspective.
[00:06:34] So. Man, so.
[00:06:38] Like we overlook and we leave a lot of stuff
[00:06:43] on the table.
[00:06:44] So like going back, you might be a different
[00:06:47] you are a different artist this year than you were last year
[00:06:50] in the year before.
[00:06:51] So looking back over like, OK, what do I have?
[00:06:55] You know, I don't want to like overlook anything
[00:06:59] that I might have missed that is here.
[00:07:01] So I agree 100 percent.
[00:07:04] Yeah, that's dope.
[00:07:05] So yeah.
[00:07:06] Yeah.
[00:07:07] When do you have a win?
[00:07:10] Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[00:07:10] Like, yeah, when.
[00:07:12] I come from I come from like
[00:07:16] from when I was doing secular, you just to a bean man, Sean Paul.
[00:07:18] And like, you know, I would see people just trying to do stuff.
[00:07:22] Do what I like.
[00:07:22] And just hearing people say, you know, when I came to the church
[00:07:25] and your music is trash, you're never going to be nothing
[00:07:27] less devil music and go to some places and churches
[00:07:30] and just see people look at you like you they're disgusted with you.
[00:07:33] Like you're some kind of ripped up clothes and yo, you never,
[00:07:37] you know, I have some artists sitting on these trash.
[00:07:40] She's not going to hear these things.
[00:07:41] And like as a human, you know, it kills you inside to hear that.
[00:07:44] You know what I mean?
[00:07:44] And but instead of staying there and accept defeat, it motivates me.
[00:07:47] I'm approved to you that I'm never going to be a failure.
[00:07:49] I'm not going to be the song proof to you that one of these days
[00:07:52] and it took me years to get where I'm at.
[00:07:54] You know, but I'm at you.
[00:07:55] I have prophecies that says you're going to do this and do that.
[00:07:58] And like, I'm never seen them.
[00:07:59] Like God, why is these false prophets telling me things
[00:08:01] and things that manifest prophesied to me like 10, 15 years ago.
[00:08:05] I'm seeing the fruits now.
[00:08:07] You know, I mean, and again, it's just not not our time.
[00:08:09] It's God time, but I use those things for motivation and inspire somebody.
[00:08:13] So listen, I was there.
[00:08:14] I was you.
[00:08:15] I was that person that they said was never going to be nothing.
[00:08:17] So if I could do it, I'm a regular artist in a hip hop spot where,
[00:08:21] you know, the Christian genre like, you know, a regular artist shouldn't be in this spot.
[00:08:24] So when I look at and I tell people, look at that.
[00:08:28] That's just God.
[00:08:28] That ain't me.
[00:08:29] Like I'm in the thick of everything.
[00:08:31] You know what I'm saying?
[00:08:31] And it's not and I'm not putting out trash.
[00:08:33] I'm not buying with it.
[00:08:34] It's just God is putting me in a place where like he's no respect of person.
[00:08:37] He can use whoever he wants, where he's choose to.
[00:08:40] And my thing is, man, I love to see unity.
[00:08:41] I love to see people winning.
[00:08:43] Like if Toya wins it, win a Grammy, I want to grab it because again,
[00:08:46] it's one body.
[00:08:47] That's the way I feel.
[00:08:48] I'm not going to sit here and get, oh, she got it.
[00:08:50] She's up for a Grammy or a movie.
[00:08:52] If I want to grab me, he would say he would accept it.
[00:08:55] He would let it go on stage.
[00:08:57] Don't be like, yeah, that's it.
[00:08:58] That's how it's supposed to be.
[00:08:59] And like he was in the movie.
[00:09:00] I'm not going to be jealous.
[00:09:01] He said that's how it's supposed to be.
[00:09:03] It's supposed to be.
[00:09:04] You know what I mean?
[00:09:04] We celebrate each other, man.
[00:09:05] Like she wins.
[00:09:07] You know, you don't have that now.
[00:09:08] It's like everybody's against each other and worried about what this
[00:09:10] person's going to say.
[00:09:11] Let's celebrate it.
[00:09:11] And if we all come together as one body and push, if Toya got a song
[00:09:15] and everybody in CHH push Toya, now we could be bigger than Jay-Z and Beyonce,
[00:09:19] but we don't have that mentality.
[00:09:20] You know what I'm saying?
[00:09:21] We have the oh, she got it.
[00:09:23] I should have been there.
[00:09:23] My song is better.
[00:09:24] You know what I mean?
[00:09:25] And that's the mentality mindset that we have.
[00:09:26] What's mean?
[00:09:27] Like, I'm like, let's go.
[00:09:28] You win.
[00:09:29] I'm winning because listen, I got a song with V-Ros.
[00:09:30] If V-Ros wins a Grammy and she's like this big superstar on the world now.
[00:09:35] That song is going to elevate because of who she is at the time.
[00:09:39] You know what I'm saying?
[00:09:39] So again, we got to support each other, lift each other up and you know what I
[00:09:43] mean?
[00:09:43] Just let's all win together.
[00:09:44] It's one body.
[00:09:45] The hand can't fight against the foot man.
[00:09:46] And we can't play tug-of-war.
[00:09:48] You know what I'm saying?
[00:09:50] What did that unity get lost at?
[00:09:52] Because I hear you keep saying that, you know, we need to support each other.
[00:09:55] We need to make sure we rally for each other.
[00:09:57] And y'all humble opinion.
[00:09:58] What y'all think?
[00:09:59] Where to get lost at?
[00:10:01] I think the thing is not being grounded, man.
[00:10:03] That's not because when God blesses us, if you're not grounded, the ego and self,
[00:10:08] you know, pride takes them and God don't like a proud look.
[00:10:11] And I think that's what it is when I pray before when everything I press, I got it.
[00:10:15] You know, I need you to bless me.
[00:10:17] But if I'm going to be like act like I'm better than somebody, take it all away.
[00:10:20] That's always been my priority.
[00:10:21] Anything that I do is like if I feel like even with these awards and
[00:10:25] plaques and being number one, I never been I'm the man now.
[00:10:28] Look at you.
[00:10:28] You said this and sometimes I'm telling you the flesh one and say, go tell
[00:10:31] these people that tell you ain't gonna be done and say, look at me now.
[00:10:33] What you are?
[00:10:34] You know what I mean?
[00:10:34] And that's the natural thing.
[00:10:35] I'm like, you know, I pray like God, if I ever become that person,
[00:10:38] take everything away from me.
[00:10:39] I don't want it.
[00:10:40] You know what I'm saying?
[00:10:40] So that's it for me.
[00:10:44] I love that.
[00:10:44] I love that.
[00:10:45] What are some practical ways that people can actually support from
[00:10:48] from your from your standpoint, from your mouth?
[00:10:53] Me or beer.
[00:10:55] Yeah.
[00:10:55] Anywhere in York to answer because sometimes people act like
[00:10:58] they don't know what to do.
[00:10:59] Yeah.
[00:10:59] Yeah.
[00:10:59] It's like, yeah.
[00:11:00] What can they how can other people support you?
[00:11:03] I think that supporting other artists like artists supporting artists is
[00:11:07] something that's not really taught and I was blessed to come up under
[00:11:12] like really good mentorship.
[00:11:13] I signed a deal with flame with clear side music and just watching
[00:11:19] the integrity that he had supporting other artists that didn't support him.
[00:11:22] Artists that talked about him behind his back and seeing him go
[00:11:26] to them instead of going to the media and, you know, reconciling.
[00:11:30] So like I was able to really learn from somebody that I really respect
[00:11:34] and and and seek saw integrity from.
[00:11:37] So I think like other artists have to learn that like I love to support
[00:11:43] artists, even if like sometimes I'll share stuff.
[00:11:45] I don't even know the artists and I just saw them on like their dope.
[00:11:48] Let me share that.
[00:11:49] I have a following that maybe there's a huge group of people
[00:11:53] that will benefit from this artist.
[00:11:55] And I don't it's crazy how much I don't even see support from
[00:11:59] friends from like people that have known for years.
[00:12:03] I'll drop music and I'll get support from fans, but like people that I know
[00:12:09] personally that I've showed up for gone to their events like
[00:12:14] actually listen bought their album, you know?
[00:12:16] And but I don't I don't take it personal because I know that
[00:12:19] I'm proud of the way that I move.
[00:12:21] But I think that it definitely needs to be like talked about more.
[00:12:25] Artists just want everybody to look at them.
[00:12:27] And I think that the way that the algorithm like has set up society
[00:12:33] is it's driving the individual.
[00:12:35] It's pushing for like individualism.
[00:12:38] So everybody's just trying to be the big star.
[00:12:41] Everybody's trying to be the number one person talked about.
[00:12:43] And when they start to see success, they think number one,
[00:12:46] they think this is God blessing me.
[00:12:48] Number two, they think, OK, now I'm the one.
[00:12:51] Everybody look at me because now I'm I'm doing well.
[00:12:54] So this is my time.
[00:12:57] And I think that that's just backwards thinking.
[00:13:00] But again, I just I believe it's something that has to be learned.
[00:13:04] Like somebody has to bring it to your attention and show you
[00:13:07] like the world, it doesn't revolve around you.
[00:13:09] Even if you're a dope artist, even if you're the best,
[00:13:12] even if you're like carving out a lane,
[00:13:14] I think it says a lot about you by who you support
[00:13:18] and how you support, you know, other artists.
[00:13:21] That's good.
[00:13:24] Yeah, that is good.
[00:13:25] Listen, we appreciate y'all rocking with us
[00:13:27] and coming through the day. Listen, we got to get y'all back on real real soon.
[00:13:32] Real conversations from real imperfect people in pursuit of a perfect God.
[00:13:37] Let's jump into today's real talk topic.
[00:13:41] Yes, sir, you're too back into the fix.
[00:13:43] You're source of faith, the future is about
[00:13:44] part of being poetry DJ focus, Dice Gamble.
[00:13:46] It's time for the real talk conversation.
[00:13:49] And come on, Dice, I heard you talking about the devil in them
[00:13:51] and something like what's going on?
[00:13:52] The devil made you know what today is the first day that I've
[00:13:55] I'm going to defend the devil.
[00:13:56] Like today is the first day I ain't on his team,
[00:13:59] but I'm going to defend him from y'all lying behind Christians where
[00:14:02] you want to blame everything on the devil.
[00:14:03] So it just gets frustrating for me.
[00:14:05] Like, you know, why are we blaming the devil for everything?
[00:14:08] Some stuff, y'all need to start on it.
[00:14:09] He made me do it. He made me do it.
[00:14:11] He's not making nobody do nothing.
[00:14:12] Like this is so crazy.
[00:14:14] I know he probably get irritated like, oh, these Christians make me sick.
[00:14:17] We probably work as nerve.
[00:14:18] I mean, as he's working our nerve, but just, you know,
[00:14:21] like when people are late somewhere
[00:14:24] and they knew they had to be there yesterday, that is the devil, though.
[00:14:28] And it's a devil that five don't fire cars on the freeway in front
[00:14:31] of me riding like it was Sunday.
[00:14:33] It's Tuesday.
[00:14:34] Push your foot, push the foot.
[00:14:36] Thank the devil. We got to talk about it.
[00:14:38] It's just call you leave early.
[00:14:40] Set yourself up well, like leave early, especially if you know
[00:14:43] you've got to go somewhere at five o'clock in traffic.
[00:14:46] It ain't the devil.
[00:14:47] It would be you.
[00:14:47] It would be you who just did not plan.
[00:14:50] So I just wanted to bring this up today.
[00:14:51] Like we blame the devil too much for stuff.
[00:14:53] And it's like, OK, you know, we already we always talk about health
[00:14:57] and being overweight or having hot blood or, you know, diabetes and stuff like that.
[00:15:01] And then you act like you've been, you know, eating right your whole life
[00:15:04] and exercising and going to the gym every day.
[00:15:06] And then you're like, oh, it's the devil.
[00:15:08] When you got to, you know, take a pill or take a shot.
[00:15:11] It ain't the devil.
[00:15:12] So it's like I just want us to stop lying so much, like on what you need
[00:15:17] to own and then whatever the devil did do week.
[00:15:20] OK, we can put that on him.
[00:15:22] We can put that on him.
[00:15:23] But there are some things that ain't the devil.
[00:15:25] You know, when people call you and ask you for the money that you borrowed,
[00:15:28] you know, six months ago, that ain't the devil.
[00:15:30] It ain't the devil.
[00:15:31] They did that was for you don't have it.
[00:15:32] You shouldn't have said you would have it in six months.
[00:15:34] So when somebody asked for their money back, they need their money.
[00:15:38] So I just figured we need to talk about this because.
[00:15:42] It's too much.
[00:15:43] It's too much.
[00:15:44] It's going on too low.
[00:15:45] Too many Christian victims, you know what I'm saying?
[00:15:47] You know what is funny?
[00:15:48] You bring this topic up.
[00:15:49] This is a great topic.
[00:15:50] Thank you for bringing this up.
[00:15:51] And no, no, because because for a long time,
[00:15:53] I was one of these people.
[00:15:54] Let's be very clear.
[00:15:55] Oh, Lord, I used to know I could be real.
[00:15:57] See, y'all ain't going to be real.
[00:15:58] I'm a get free.
[00:15:59] I used to be one of these people until I understood
[00:16:04] what exactly what power the devil actually possessed.
[00:16:08] Because that was that was a thing for a long time
[00:16:10] where again, spiritual maturity, not understanding, you know,
[00:16:14] what was happening and what is.
[00:16:16] So I used to blame the devil for everything.
[00:16:18] Absolutely.
[00:16:19] The devil knew I was trying to, you know what I'm saying?
[00:16:21] Get that girl and you know, it helped me.
[00:16:23] Yeah, yeah, that was a devil to stop that block that block my
[00:16:26] blessing.
[00:16:26] I thought that was a blessing in the devil to block my
[00:16:28] blessing.
[00:16:29] Same way.
[00:16:30] I used to be running a little late shots out to all the
[00:16:33] people that spot five minutes late.
[00:16:35] I was consistent about five minutes, just five minutes
[00:16:38] late and it was that one car in front of me.
[00:16:39] I promise you, I would get on the same street, the same
[00:16:42] road.
[00:16:42] It's a one way dice.
[00:16:43] I can't go around.
[00:16:45] Now that's when you know, just like this is the devil.
[00:16:47] No, because I can't aim.
[00:16:48] It's not two lanes.
[00:16:49] It's one lane.
[00:16:50] You know, I got to hit this clock before the seven
[00:16:52] minute after mark so I don't get no point.
[00:16:55] Lord help me.
[00:16:55] Click get out my it's both 30 in the morning.
[00:16:59] Can you can you can you move out the way?
[00:17:01] Move out my way.
[00:17:02] So yes, I used to be one of these people that used
[00:17:05] to blame the devil for every single thing.
[00:17:08] And yes, I think it just comes with spiritual
[00:17:11] maturity dice.
[00:17:12] I think a lot of people have not really took in
[00:17:16] spiritual growth to a level and understanding
[00:17:19] like you said, what is the devil really doing
[00:17:22] and what's on you?
[00:17:23] And we talked about it yesterday when you talk
[00:17:26] about personal development.
[00:17:28] Yeah, that might be on the personal development list.
[00:17:30] Hey, maybe my need to be.
[00:17:32] I mean, I think we could add it on there because
[00:17:35] it's like you hear a lot of even with relationships.
[00:17:37] It's like.
[00:17:37] Oh yeah.
[00:17:39] Oh yeah.
[00:17:41] Don't say that.
[00:17:42] Don't say that relationship word.
[00:17:44] Yeah, I'm saying both y'all y'all was supposed to both have
[00:17:46] half your rent a piece so you could pay your rent.
[00:17:49] And so the other person didn't have any money.
[00:17:51] OK, but you sat there and watched the other person
[00:17:53] buy everything for the house they wouldn't suppose to buy.
[00:17:56] So it's like, oh, it is just a devil, you know,
[00:17:58] messing with me and my finances.
[00:17:59] It's like, no, it's you.
[00:18:00] You should have spoke up and been like, hey,
[00:18:02] I need you go take I need you go take that laptop.
[00:18:05] You just bought back because I already know
[00:18:06] like if we don't pay our rent first,
[00:18:08] we can't just be out here buying new electronics
[00:18:10] for no reason when you've already got another laptop.
[00:18:12] So I'm just throwing it out there.
[00:18:13] I'm like, everything ain't the devil.
[00:18:15] Sometimes it's a choice that you are making
[00:18:17] and I'm I'm subject to this.
[00:18:19] Listen, I'll be real with you.
[00:18:21] I have forgotten to pay a bill.
[00:18:23] A light went off and I think I ain't number the devil.
[00:18:25] It ain't the devil.
[00:18:26] I forgot to pay the electricity bill.
[00:18:29] All right.
[00:18:29] Absolutely forgot it.
[00:18:31] It's but I rather blame the devil than saying,
[00:18:34] why don't you put it on auto draft
[00:18:36] or write it on the calendar dice instead of now
[00:18:38] everybody in here in the dark and now you scramble
[00:18:40] in to try to get the electric,
[00:18:42] you know, people come back out and turn the thing on
[00:18:44] and you embarrass, you know, and it's frustrating.
[00:18:46] So it's not the devil.
[00:18:47] It's like you just need to own.
[00:18:48] Oh, I made a mistake.
[00:18:50] I should have paid that bill first
[00:18:52] when I got paid last time I didn't.
[00:18:54] And now anybody got no lights
[00:18:56] can't see nothing lightened candles.
[00:18:57] So everything ain't the devil.
[00:18:59] And I just, that's what I said.
[00:19:01] I just today I kind of feel like, you know what?
[00:19:03] We're gonna have to own a few things here.
[00:19:06] And that's super important.
[00:19:07] Like when people get caught cheating,
[00:19:09] it ain't the devil, the devil.
[00:19:11] No, you wouldn't do what you wanted to do.
[00:19:14] I said it, you wouldn't do what you wanted to do.
[00:19:16] The devil didn't make you go through it anything.
[00:19:17] He suggested you can do some things,
[00:19:19] but it's up to you to say no.
[00:19:21] So it ain't about the devil in your relationship.
[00:19:24] I'll be real with you.
[00:19:24] Like I just when we can make the choice,
[00:19:29] you need to leave the devil out of it.
[00:19:32] Okay.
[00:19:33] I'm for real though.
[00:19:34] It's hard because you know,
[00:19:35] the devil didn't sit that chocolate type on my way
[00:19:38] and he know I like that tall chocolate thing.
[00:19:40] Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
[00:19:41] Yeah, yeah, that was the devil.
[00:19:43] That was the devil's thing that you know,
[00:19:44] that's what they say.
[00:19:46] Listen, Keith's name is out
[00:19:47] and Keith's just smells so good.
[00:19:49] Lord help me.
[00:19:50] And she had on that little skirt and Lord
[00:19:51] and she made sure she dropped the pin too.
[00:19:53] The Lord, she dropped the pin
[00:19:54] and she had to pick the pin up.
[00:19:55] That was the devil.
[00:19:56] That was the devil.
[00:19:57] But when do we say Jesus made me strong enough
[00:20:01] to where I resisted her?
[00:20:03] Like, you know, we're supposed to resist.
[00:20:04] That's what the Bible says.
[00:20:05] We're supposed to resist it.
[00:20:06] We're not supposed to go back and forth
[00:20:08] and entertain these things.
[00:20:10] The Bible says if we resist the devil, he will flee.
[00:20:12] So if it is the devil,
[00:20:14] the only thing we have to do is resist.
[00:20:16] We just don't give in to the foolery.
[00:20:19] But when you give in to the foolery,
[00:20:20] that's you giving in.
[00:20:21] You gave in.
[00:20:23] Devil has no power or control of us.
[00:20:25] And I think that as-
[00:20:26] That's good.
[00:20:27] The body of Christ,
[00:20:28] we don't teach that enough across the pulpit.
[00:20:31] It's almost like you're pitting God against the devil
[00:20:34] and they're not equal by any means on any level.
[00:20:38] You know, the devil is powerless
[00:20:40] unless we fall for the trick.
[00:20:42] So it's like you have to really start teaching that
[00:20:45] a little bit more.
[00:20:46] All y'all,
[00:20:47] pastors, bishop,
[00:20:48] pastor, everybody all across the world,
[00:20:50] devil's powerless.
[00:20:51] And you need to get used to saying that.
[00:20:52] The devil is powerless.
[00:20:53] Even when you have a situation where you're like,
[00:20:55] I think I'm being tempted right now.
[00:20:57] You can be tempted.
[00:20:58] Jesus was tempted for the days.
[00:21:00] For the days, 39 days at a time.
[00:21:02] Sorry.
[00:21:03] Tempted.
[00:21:03] It's okay, but you don't give in.
[00:21:05] You resist the devil,
[00:21:06] rebuke the devil and go on about your business.
[00:21:08] But if you fall for it, that's on you.
[00:21:11] Well, that's how the accountability shot.
[00:21:12] Yeah, I was about to bring that up.
[00:21:14] When you get a chance, read James 1, 13,
[00:21:18] and at 1, 13 through 14,
[00:21:19] and it just talks about
[00:21:21] you really holding yourself responsible
[00:21:24] and stop blaming the devil
[00:21:26] and making excuses for your own actions.
[00:21:29] Yeah, you just might need to,
[00:21:31] you know, handle some things on your own
[00:21:34] and like you say, hold yourself accountable
[00:21:36] and please from it, resist that temptation,
[00:21:38] flee from that temptation.
[00:21:40] The Bible is clear about running from that temptation.
[00:21:42] Yeah, yeah, if I keep blaming the devil focused,
[00:21:45] when do I have to work on anything?
[00:21:46] Oh wow.
[00:21:48] Listen, stay right there.
[00:21:49] Listen, as y'all see,
[00:21:51] when the devil made me do it,
[00:21:53] we gotta go to a break.
[00:21:54] We coming right back with more.
[00:21:55] Keep it locked.
[00:21:56] You tuned into the fix.
[00:21:58] And the fix is in.
[00:22:00] Real conversations from real,
[00:22:02] imperfect people in pursuit of a perfect God.
[00:22:05] Let's jump into today's real talk topic.
[00:22:09] And we back DJ focus, Dice Gamble,
[00:22:12] real talk conversation.
[00:22:13] If y'all just joining in
[00:22:15] and we having a little fun today
[00:22:17] talking about the devil made me do it
[00:22:18] and it's funny we were on break dice
[00:22:19] and then my head
[00:22:21] shouts out to all my old school 70s and 80s,
[00:22:26] you know, Pimp movie watchers.
[00:22:28] Cause these were Pimp movies
[00:22:29] whether y'all receive it or not.
[00:22:31] Movies like, you know, the Mac and Dolomites.
[00:22:34] So yeah, Dolomite popped in my head of the one song.
[00:22:37] Pee dee we straw the devil sun in law.
[00:22:41] Oh my goodness.
[00:22:44] Shouts out to all my old G's who really know.
[00:22:47] Yeah, yeah, it's an old play
[00:22:49] that was still wearing fur's
[00:22:51] and still got that dive hat on
[00:22:52] and know everything about that, the pink fur.
[00:22:55] So yes, we're talking about the devil made me do it.
[00:22:58] We talked a little bit about accountability.
[00:22:59] We talked a lot about accountability.
[00:23:00] It's be very clear.
[00:23:01] I want to touch base on that, you know,
[00:23:03] that before we talk about spiritual warfare dice
[00:23:05] that will of controlling temptation.
[00:23:09] I think that's a part that's hard for a lot of believers
[00:23:12] when you talk about, you know,
[00:23:14] we have so many falls in the church, you know,
[00:23:17] you know, you got, you got the leaders,
[00:23:19] the church leaders sleeping around
[00:23:20] and committing adultery and, you know,
[00:23:22] you got, you know, the youth that are, you know,
[00:23:24] backsliding a little bit and then, you know,
[00:23:26] start to do drugs and pop peels and stuff.
[00:23:29] It's that free will.
[00:23:31] It sometimes mess us up when, you know,
[00:23:33] we are free moral agents.
[00:23:35] We can do whatever we want to do,
[00:23:37] but I think some of us just need to understand the balance
[00:23:40] and understanding spiritual control
[00:23:43] and that goes into that spiritual warfare dice.
[00:23:45] You brought up a very key point.
[00:23:48] You were talking, we were talking in a conversation before
[00:23:51] and you were just bringing up the fact
[00:23:52] that we need more believers in spaces and praying on site.
[00:23:56] Like when you see something,
[00:23:58] you brought up the example of something.
[00:23:59] You said you were on a trip.
[00:24:00] You say you're on a mission trip.
[00:24:02] Oh yeah, and Haiti.
[00:24:03] And you said, go ahead and tell the people the story.
[00:24:05] Yeah, no, quickly on a mission trip in Haiti by O'Nay.
[00:24:09] And yes, there is some voodoo going on there
[00:24:12] and outside of one of the voodoo priests home was a tree.
[00:24:15] It's a rather large tree.
[00:24:17] And you know, people like pray
[00:24:20] and believe that this tree is like an evil tree
[00:24:23] or it's a part of their whole voodoo tradition
[00:24:25] and it had like black birds flying and landing in the tree
[00:24:28] and long story short, I'm checking out the scene
[00:24:31] and I'm like ready to go over here
[00:24:32] and figure out what's going on.
[00:24:34] And people said, hey, you know, don't need to go over there
[00:24:36] because you know, that's an evil tree.
[00:24:38] And I said, who made the tree?
[00:24:43] Sorry, who made the tree?
[00:24:45] Jesus made the tree.
[00:24:46] So it's like if I know that this is a tree
[00:24:50] that God made, you don't get to call it an evil tree.
[00:24:54] You know what I'm saying?
[00:24:54] Birds, God made those birds.
[00:24:56] You know what I'm saying?
[00:24:57] So it's like we got to stop putting all this energy
[00:25:02] into things that we can continue to call holy
[00:25:07] and that God made, you know what I'm saying?
[00:25:08] Like birds don't get to have a tree and make it evil.
[00:25:12] You know, people don't get to pray over this tree
[00:25:13] and make it evil.
[00:25:14] You know what I'm saying?
[00:25:15] Like that tree was called a tree a long time ago
[00:25:18] and it's like it is a tree
[00:25:19] and it was designed to grow and to give off oxygen
[00:25:22] so that I can inhale that oxygen
[00:25:24] and in return push out my carbon.
[00:25:27] So it's like we out here making things be evil
[00:25:30] that aren't evil.
[00:25:31] You know, we're making things seem evil that aren't evil
[00:25:33] and you have all this folklore
[00:25:34] and we're creating these stories
[00:25:35] and now you've scared the whole community.
[00:25:38] Now every time they walk by the tree, everybody's afraid
[00:25:40] because even the Christians are telling the story
[00:25:43] of a tree being evil.
[00:25:44] And here's the deal.
[00:25:45] Some trees do look funny and weird,
[00:25:47] but I'll be real with you.
[00:25:49] We have all the power in heaven and earth.
[00:25:52] It was given to us.
[00:25:54] So it's like we can't continue to walk in fear.
[00:25:58] And that's all I'm trying to say
[00:26:00] about the devil made me do a type of thing.
[00:26:02] It's like, okay, you know,
[00:26:04] I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
[00:26:05] So what are we not doing?
[00:26:07] In Christ, we're more than conquerors.
[00:26:08] You know, we can pray and heal the sick.
[00:26:11] You know what I'm saying?
[00:26:12] Like we're dead to our sins.
[00:26:13] So it's like stop saying the devil made you do it.
[00:26:16] You know, so it's like we follow God.
[00:26:17] We follow Christ.
[00:26:18] We choose him.
[00:26:19] And that's what I'm saying.
[00:26:20] Yes, you may be tempted by the devil.
[00:26:23] He may be tempted to believe a story,
[00:26:25] especially with the gossipers and church.
[00:26:27] Y'all might be tempted to believe something to happen,
[00:26:30] but you know what she's supposed to do?
[00:26:31] You're supposed to go see if that thing is true.
[00:26:32] Go to your brother or your sister,
[00:26:34] tell them what your concern is.
[00:26:36] You know what I'm saying?
[00:26:37] And if you wrong them, ask for forgiveness.
[00:26:39] Like stop with this hypothetical,
[00:26:40] oh, I know he over there talking about such and such.
[00:26:43] Or I know she over there talking about,
[00:26:45] oh, look at him talking.
[00:26:46] I know they just talking about probably what I had on.
[00:26:48] You don't know.
[00:26:50] And so stop, you're inviting the devil.
[00:26:53] You're inviting that spirit of contingency.
[00:26:55] You are that spirit of contingency.
[00:26:58] All this hypothetical what if I know
[00:27:00] they probably are platonic?
[00:27:01] You don't know nothing.
[00:27:02] Okay.
[00:27:03] So the devil's not making you do anything,
[00:27:06] but if you stay in your head with that,
[00:27:07] you will turn around and create some type of,
[00:27:11] you know, I don't know, incident
[00:27:13] and get your brother or your sister
[00:27:14] or set them up to fail
[00:27:15] because you on the inside are just insecure.
[00:27:18] So that's why I'm like,
[00:27:19] don't fall for the suggestions of the enemy
[00:27:22] and the things that he says that aren't true.
[00:27:25] And so we got to get back to what we know.
[00:27:27] God is the God of everything.
[00:27:28] God is the God of the universe.
[00:27:30] God is the God of us, you know,
[00:27:32] Christ is Lord and savior of our lives.
[00:27:35] You know what I'm saying?
[00:27:35] We have all the power in our hands
[00:27:37] and in our tongues.
[00:27:39] So it's like we have to start confessing things differently.
[00:27:42] And so we can't be this, be like this.
[00:27:44] You know, we're horrible example for the world.
[00:27:47] If we say, well, God hasn't delivered me from this yet.
[00:27:50] I want it.
[00:27:51] Now you have not chosen to lay that thing down at the cross
[00:27:54] and allow the Lord to work on you yet.
[00:27:56] Like let's start saying what it truly is.
[00:27:58] Oh, the devil made me,
[00:27:59] oh, just hanging on but the devil suggestion.
[00:28:02] I stop at the Krispy Kreme every day.
[00:28:04] Drive another way.
[00:28:05] Please go to work another way.
[00:28:06] Like if you know that Krispy Kreme was there
[00:28:08] and you got a weakness,
[00:28:12] take the other out.
[00:28:12] That like to get you in trouble.
[00:28:13] That like to get you in trouble.
[00:28:15] Listen, until you strong enough to drive by that Krispy Kreme,
[00:28:18] go another direction until you're,
[00:28:20] and here's the thing.
[00:28:21] Put the block on your phone.
[00:28:23] All y'all who got these old people calling y'all
[00:28:25] and jumping, you know, like until your phony or DMs
[00:28:28] and stuff like that, block them.
[00:28:30] Don't be like, I ain't number the devil.
[00:28:31] Well, guess what?
[00:28:32] They wouldn't be able to contact you
[00:28:33] unless you still had their phone number.
[00:28:35] So it's like, I'm just saying we do things
[00:28:38] and then try to blame the enemy.
[00:28:40] And it's ridiculous paying bills late.
[00:28:41] That's my number one because that's the area
[00:28:43] where I was like, man, I forgot.
[00:28:45] Like I have so much on my mind.
[00:28:47] So now I set my reminders on my phone, on my calendar.
[00:28:50] I write it down, you know, it's everywhere
[00:28:52] because I'm like, I can't be blaming the devil
[00:28:55] for distracting me or I'm so busy.
[00:28:57] I ain't number, no, Dice, just do what you're supposed to.
[00:29:00] And whatever we talk about, you know,
[00:29:02] you got the money, fix it.
[00:29:04] So we have to grow.
[00:29:05] That's the thing that's the running theme.
[00:29:07] It seems like, you know, this week with us
[00:29:10] is like God has expectation that we will grow
[00:29:12] as individuals in our spirituality, in our actions
[00:29:16] and don't let our hearts deceive us
[00:29:18] because that's what the Bible says.
[00:29:19] Our own hearts will deceive us
[00:29:20] and we will believe what is wrong to be right
[00:29:23] and vice versa.
[00:29:24] So it's like, we got to continue to seek the Lord
[00:29:27] and rebuked the devil.
[00:29:28] And that's my rant for today.
[00:29:30] No, that was good.
[00:29:31] And we do need to seek the devil.
[00:29:33] That's the problem.
[00:29:34] We're not seeking them on a higher level.
[00:29:36] I mean, I'm gonna be like, seek the Lord,
[00:29:37] forgive me, flee from the devil, forgive me,
[00:29:39] flee from the devil
[00:29:40] and seek God on a higher level.
[00:29:42] That's why y'all keep blaming the devil
[00:29:44] for all these things happening in your life.
[00:29:46] No, no, no.
[00:29:48] We getting better this year.
[00:29:49] We getting better this year.
[00:29:50] We're gonna get super better.
[00:29:51] And listen, shout out to all of you
[00:29:52] who are going through something physically
[00:29:56] because I was at the doctor the other day
[00:29:58] and I had a lady, she was assisting me.
[00:30:00] She was still kind of stuck in a situation.
[00:30:03] She had to come down with something.
[00:30:05] I guess she got something seven years ago
[00:30:07] and she said, I'm still like feeling like this.
[00:30:10] Why, why, why?
[00:30:12] And we don't know why.
[00:30:14] Things happen to us genetically.
[00:30:16] Some of us just get it passed down to us
[00:30:18] where we didn't pick it,
[00:30:20] but you know what?
[00:30:20] God is faithful to get us through this life
[00:30:23] and we will live a very prosperous life,
[00:30:25] a productive life, a home purpose life.
[00:30:28] And so it's like we can't just keep blaming the devil.
[00:30:30] I'm saying like our parents got together
[00:30:32] and made us and boom, here we are.
[00:30:34] And sometimes we just get things
[00:30:35] or things happen or we have a challenge
[00:30:38] but I'm just saying like every way we've been set up
[00:30:41] is for our good and God is gonna use it for good.
[00:30:44] And so that's what I'm trying to say.
[00:30:46] Like if the devil's messing with you, please rebuke him,
[00:30:48] but we can't keep blaming everything on him.
[00:30:50] That's all I wanna say about that.
[00:30:54] Can't get blame for everything.
[00:30:55] The devil made me do it.
[00:30:56] The devil made me do it.
[00:30:57] Did he though?
[00:30:57] Did he though?
[00:30:58] No, he did, he did.
[00:30:59] All right, guys, that's it for today
[00:31:02] and the devil made us do it, huh?
[00:31:09] Well, you already know some people
[00:31:11] like to joke about that
[00:31:13] and obviously the devil didn't make us do anything
[00:31:15] but the devil can only suggest things.
[00:31:18] You know what I'm saying?
[00:31:19] He ain't making nobody do nothing
[00:31:21] but we gotta understand like are we doing these things
[00:31:25] that keep us away from God
[00:31:26] or that hold us back from our blessings
[00:31:29] or is it really the enemy that we're contending with?
[00:31:32] And it could be either or,
[00:31:34] but I would say nine times out of 10
[00:31:36] it's probably us just picking our flesh.
[00:31:38] So today was a good one.
[00:31:40] I think it's something to reflect on.
[00:31:42] So praying everybody got something out of that one.
[00:31:45] I do too as well and you're right.
[00:31:47] It's just usually just something we need to reflect on
[00:31:50] and just change our sinful behavior.
[00:31:52] So shout out to everybody to understand
[00:31:54] that the Holy Spirit dwells in you
[00:31:56] and it's way more power with that Holy Spirit
[00:31:59] that's inside of you than the devil ever could have.
[00:32:01] So continue to activate that Holy Spirit y'all.
[00:32:04] Shout out to y'all.
[00:32:05] We love y'all.

[00:33:28] Now go have that conversation
[00:33:30] because you never know when your loved ones

[00:33:33] That's just being real.
[00:33:33] So you don't wanna, you know

[00:33:37] about some disagreement.
