i've got enough help now with a lot of <{><[>people and i've got enough um enough messages and i've <.>g and i've i've reckoned that i've got a lot of encouragement and now i've just really got to do it <[>yeah yeah amen true eh that's good your hunger <&>6:00 i <{1><[1>think i'm just really curious eh i mean okay mm <{2><[2>i know the lord but i don't think i know him enough <[1>yes <[2>mm word oh i tell you <{><[>laughs the closer the <.>clos no it's true no that's true er i er you know the so'o was the so'o was was was was like something that to to let let you know let US know <[>laughs yeah hey clicks fingers you know it's true eh <{><[>i believe it yeah <[>this is where you stand with them <{><[>voc got to keep going you got to keep going you know um yeah it you know for me personally you know <.>i <.>i when i came back from the so'o i i it was very clear where i stood with the lord you know and i just said to myself you know this is not about you know it's never about <.>what i've got to keep going i've got to keep going keep <.>h that hunger going <,,> <[>you gotta that's good <{><[>but i reckon <[>i like your so'o <{><[>i like it <[>yeah i reckon it's never enough until the day he comes back mm that's right we'll be never satisfied <&>7:00 never until then but um in the meantime you know we'll meantime yeah he's stirring us up yeah it's good i think in a way i realise that i just never praise god for good times and bad things so mm but i think but what <.>happe in a way it's i think it's really i <.>ca i can see myself getting really really high you know well i mean with the lord eh <{><[>you know just really go for god you know his spirit and the witnessing to a lot of people and preaching a lot and like he really brought me down eh it brought me down it was like oh sometimes you know sometimes you know when there are times when you don't really need to say much <[>yeah yep you know so at this moment i want to be different you know it's like before i was like oh PRAISE THE LORD AMEN you know happy happy joy joy but now that i feel now it's funny i've never said this but now i feel i'm in i'm in awe um it really brought me down and now it's time to really get into more testament for the lord but not not necessarily a skiting blah <&>8:00 blah blah i mean there's <{><[>nothing wrong with that but there's a time now to calm down and to really <,> in awe that's all i can say <[>yeah yeah in awe you know mm just say no way word yeah no it's <.>fu it's funny from the so'o you realise you know there'll be always those criticising you in that in that daily bread there's a story where it goes <{><[>um um like there will always be people to criticise you and so if you try and follow up try to justify yourself to those people <[>oh wow yep cos of what they say you would never succeed <{><[>yep unsuccessful but if carry on to the end if you keep going the only way to silence the critics is to take it to the end you know <[>yeah mm keep on <{1><[1>just yeah like that and then that REALLY i think the words the words just jumped out and grabbed you right then i thought i i couldn't've put it better myself it was just absolutely right yeah <{2><[2>eh <&>9:00 <[1>mhm <[2>it's really yeah that's true it's really up to YOU yourself you just sit down and just do your homework you just do your <{><[>homework yeah you
