- I'm gonna give you two things that I want you to do.
[4]
If you do these two things, it will transform your life.
[10]
I'm a motivational speaker when I'm not doing this
[13]
and the reason I do really well as a motivational speaker
[15]
cause I know what I'm talking about.
[18]
You looking at somebody been at the bottom before
[21]
so I'm not like some rich dude who's momma had some money
[26]
and gave me some money
[27]
now I'm telling yall how to get over.
[29]
No, Imma tell yall how to get over cause I been under.
[31]
Imma tell yall how to get up cause I've been down.
[35]
Imma tell you how to finish cause I got off to a bad start.
[40]
Now I'm about to tell you two things.
[42]
Now listen to me.
[43]
What I'm about to tell you,
[45]
this is for spiritual people only.
[48]
If you're not a spiritual person, this aint for you.
[50]
If you don't believe in God,
[52]
this aint finna do nothing for you.
[55]
But I aint know you was coming
[57]
so I have no other version.
[61]
This is only people who have a faith.
[63]
You aint gotta be no born-again Christian
[66]
or nothing like that, you got to know that that God is God.
[70]
If you understand that, I can help you from here.
[74]
Imma give you two things that can change your life.
[78]
It's two scriptures that changed my entire life.
[82]
It's very simple.
[83]
The cold thing about what I'm finna tell you is
[85]
anybody can do it.
[88]
This is what I'm finna tell you.
[89]
See, I aint about finna talk to you about no education
[92]
cause I aint got one; I flunked out of school.
[95]
I had a severe stuttering problem,
[97]
I couldn't talk outside my house.
[98]
I aint do well in school, ever.
[101]
I ended up flunking out of school, I'm on my third marriage,
[104]
I lost everything I've owned twice,
[106]
I been homeless and lived in a car for three years.
[109]
I'm finna tell you what I know.
[111]
This aint no fancy rich-boy answer, no theories, no, no.
[115]
You aint gotta buy no program to do this.
[117]
You aint got to go sign up.
[119]
I'm telling you right now, what I'm finna tell you,
[123]
if you apply it right now, can change your existence.
[128]
Because everybody I know wanna be happy,
[131]
everybody I know wanna be successful.
[133]
If you don't want them two things,
[134]
it's something wrong with you anyway.
[136]
So now, here.
[138]
There is a scripture that Imma give you.
[140]
It's very small scripture, it's very short.
[143]
I don't even know where it is in the bible.
[147]
Somebody probably know it if I say it,
[149]
but Imma give it to you.
[151]
This scripture changed my life.
[153]
You have not, cause you ask not.
[157]
You have any idea how major those words are for you?
[164]
You have not, cause you ask not.
[168]
It's such a simple scripture but it's in your bible.
[172]
It aint just in rich people's bible.
[174]
It's in the same copy you got.
[177]
You have not, cause you ask not.
[180]
This is the truest statement you'll hear me say today.
[184]
Cause it's true.
[186]
Most people don't have the life of their dreams
[189]
cause you don't ask God for the life of your dreams.
[193]
You've been trying to figure it out and handle it yourself.
[196]
Well, how that's working out for you?
[198]
You know how hard that is to do, man?
[201]
Because I did it.
[204]
I did it for 30 some years.
[207]
I tried to figure it out myself.
[210]
Man, the simple scripture says,
[214]
you have not, cause you ask not.
[216]
If you up your ask, He automatically ups his give.
[221]
You His child.
[223]
God created you
[225]
He made you.
[226]
You aint just here by no accident,
[228]
you aint here cause of yo momma and daddy.
[230]
Where your mom and daddy come from?
[232]
Somebody, somebody started this whole thing.
[235]
God created you.
[237]
He gave you these little simple things you could do.
[240]
You have not, cause you ask not.
[242]
Second reason people don't have what they want
[244]
and be through with you, they don't have it written down.
[248]
This is a very, very important piece to success.
[252]
It's a principle of success,
[254]
every wealthy person knows this.
[257]
I don't know nobody wealthy don't have a vision board.
[262]
I don't know nobody wealthy
[264]
don't have their stuff written on a piece of paper.
[266]
I don't know nobody.
[268]
I know a lotta people doing good.
[271]
We have discussed it at great lengths.
[274]
They've showed me some of they vision boards,
[276]
why I had to go back and change mine.
[279]
I went whoa, whoa, whoa.
[281]
But you gotta have a vision board,
[283]
it's gotta be written down.
[284]
You know why?
[286]
Because that's a scripture, too.
[289]
Habakkuk 2:2, I know where this one at.
[291]
Habakkuk 2:2
[294]
go home and read that one.
[295]
It says write the vision and make it plain
[299]
so that he who reads it will run to it,
[302]
and even though it tarry, that mean take a long time,
[306]
wait for it.
[307]
For surely it will come at an appointed time.
[313]
Man, I'm telling you real now.
[318]
What I'm telling you works.
[320]
This aint no magic trick.
[322]
If you up your ask and you write everything you want
[325]
from God on a piece paper,
[327]
now here's the exercise I want you to do.
[329]
This gone trip you out.
[331]
Write everything you want from God on a piece of paper,
[334]
be as detailed as you can.
[336]
Write it down.
[337]
The object for you is to write down 300 things.
[341]
Because I know 300 things that you could use.
[345]
It's gone be hard for you, when you get to number 75
[348]
you gone get stuck
[350]
because your mind isn't conditioned to think way out there
[353]
so you gone try to stay in your little list.
[356]
But I want you just open up your imagination,
[358]
If you could have anything you wanted,
[360]
put it on piece of paper.
[361]
Anything.
[362]
How many cars?
[364]
What kinda cars?
[365]
What color?
[366]
Where you want your next house to be?
[368]
Do you want a summer home?
[369]
Where you wanna travel to.
[370]
How much you want in the bank?
[371]
How much would you like to have to retire?
[373]
What you wanna leave for your grandkids?
[375]
How much would you like to give all your siblings?
[377]
Would you like to one day walk in in there
[379]
and just give all your family a cheque?
[381]
Put everything you want on a piece of paper.
[383]
Do not stop until you have 300 things.
[387]
It's gone take you a while,
[388]
I'm telling you, when you get to 75 your brain gone lock up.
[392]
But keep writing it down.
[394]
But every morning, read your list.
[397]
I don't want you watching tv at night,
[399]
I want you to read your list, unless it's Family Feud.
[402]
(audience laughs)
[403]
other than that, I just
[407]
no, but seriously, take five minutes
[408]
and read your list every night, every morning.
[411]
One year from today,
[414]
wait one year from today,
[417]
and take a pen out and go down on your list
[420]
and check off anything that has happened for you
[424]
that's on that list.
[426]
Listen to me, if you do that in faith,
[429]
if you read your list with the expectation
[432]
that God is gone do some great things for you,
[435]
at the end of one year, you will be stunned,
[439]
absolutely stunned at how much stuff comes off that list.
[443]
I promise you, at least 30 things will be off that list.
[448]
At minimum, 10% of your list will come true.
[451]
You know how I know?
[452]
Cause I know a lot of people that did done it.
[455]
But you know how I really know?
[457]
Cause I did it.
[459]
When I open up my phone, I wish I had it,
[461]
my phone is my vision board.
[463]
My phone aint got picture of no damn dog on it,
[466]
no sunset, none of that.
[468]
All of my computers have my vision board on it.
[470]
Every iPad, tablet I got, laptop,
[473]
I have my vision board on it.
[476]
Cause that's the signal I'm sending to God
[478]
that I believe this is what you gone do for me.
[482]
I gotta get a new vision board now
[484]
cause it's a lot of stuff off that vision board
[487]
that I put on there like year ago,
[488]
two years ago, that done came true.
[491]
I'm telling you, yall.
[492]
This how this work.
[494]
You have not, cause you ask not,
[496]
and write the vision and make it plain.
[497]
You do them two things, starting today.
[500]
Write your list, read it every morning, every night,
[502]
one year, check it off, you'll be stunned.
[504]
I dare you to try that.
[506]
Watch and see what God do.
[508]
God keep all his promises, I'm just telling you.
[510]
Thank yall.
[512]
