[SPEAKER_01]: Let's join our service.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: First time in chapter 17, go to verse 12 through 17 and then verse 50.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm in the message Bible, and I like the way it reads today, and the message Bible is so, so grateful to celebrate your birthday, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your pastor calls me to the blind James of preaching, and I call him the Steph Curry of preaching.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he is somebody's preacher.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, Loki, if I'm on his, I'm nervous to preach in front of Steph today.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm gonna do my best.
[SPEAKER_02]: First Samuel 17, verse 12, through 17 reads like this out of the message Bible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Enter David.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a son of Jesse from Bethlehem in Judah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesse, the father of eight sons, was himself too old to join Saul's army.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesse's three oldest sons had followed Saul to war.
[SPEAKER_02]: The names of the three sons, who had joined up with Saul, where he leapt the firstborn, necks a minute ab and the third shaman.
[SPEAKER_02]: David was the youngest son.
[SPEAKER_02]: While his three oldest brothers went to war with Saul, David went back and forth from tending to Saul to tending his father's sheep in Bethlehem.
[SPEAKER_02]: and evening for 40 days, somebody say 40 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Each morning and evening for 40 days, Goliath took his stand and made his speech.
[SPEAKER_02]: One day, Jesse told David is on, take this sack of crack wheat, and these 10 loaves of bread and run them down to your brothers in the camp.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's go over to verse 50, verse 50, verse 50.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how David beat the Philistine with a sling and a stone.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, see, verse 50?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how David beat the Philistine with a sling and a stone.
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit him and killed him, no sword for David.
[SPEAKER_02]: Y'all get the whole chapter of chapter 17, because I'm going to be dancing around.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to talk to this stuff very simply, favor after 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, may be seated.
[SPEAKER_02]: favor after 40, turn to neighbors, they favor after 40, favor after 40, favor after 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pastor Hall is turning 40 on he's so much older than I am, Lord have mercy, I just, I didn't know that God will let you get that old on me.
[SPEAKER_02]: He turned in 40 on Wednesday, and he turned 40 just a few days ago, and we celebrating these birthdays, and he's on his way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can't tell, by the way, he's dressed.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's already on sabbatical, can you tell?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's already on a beach, mentally.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's written all over his face.
[SPEAKER_02]: He don't have to say a word.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so we're about to celebrate his 40th birthday.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love that number 40 in Scripture.
[SPEAKER_02]: I learned many years ago that that number 40 represents purpose and preparation.
[SPEAKER_02]: All through Scripture, God used 40 days, 40 years to always push people into their purpose and to spend time for preparation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody say purpose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody say preparation.
[SPEAKER_02]: the number 40 all through scripture over and over again represents purpose and preparation.
[SPEAKER_02]: The rain falls on Noah's day for 40 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Israel, amen and wonder in the wilderness for 40 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: Moses was with God in the mountain 40 days and 40 nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: and he was fast in the spy search to land of Canaan for 40 days, Goliath and the Philistine army insulted the Israelite army.
[SPEAKER_02]: We see for 40 days before David showed up David and Solomon rained over Israel for 40 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Elijah had one meal in 1st Kings, chapter 19 and that one meal, that one heavenly prepared meal gave him strength for 40 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus fasted 40 days and nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus was tempted.
[SPEAKER_02]: 40 days by the devil.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a number that holds sacred, spiritual, symbolism and scripture.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what does it stand for?
[SPEAKER_02]: Purpose and preparation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whenever you see that number 40, just think, Purpose God is about to fulfill a purpose.
[SPEAKER_02]: It may take a little time.
[SPEAKER_02]: But God is about
[SPEAKER_02]: to bring something to pass.
[SPEAKER_02]: God is preparing God's people around the number 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not always that but most times when you see the number 40 in scripture, God is setting the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: You ought to see
[SPEAKER_02]: the number 40, and immediately think of thrill of movie is about to unfold.
[SPEAKER_02]: God, it is one of those four shadowing moments.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whenever you see the number 40, just no God is setting the scene to let you know something is about to be fulfilled.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something is about to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: I grew up in good Baptist black church.
[SPEAKER_02]: I grew up, pretty good.
[SPEAKER_02]: attend in the National Baptist Convention, you have say, hi, I grew up with President High Tower being over the fifth district.
[SPEAKER_02]: Y'all not holding in me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I grew up in the day where we had vacation, Bible school, and Sunday school, where Deacons on Communion Sunday used to wear white shoes.
[SPEAKER_02]: and rare ties, and they put a white sheet over the communion table.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am a church boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to tell you that so you understand all my life.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've heard about David and Goliath.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been hinted by David and Goliath for a long time, but it wasn't until recently that I started tipped on through the text that there was some sacred specificity that I started to notice that God was trying to plant in my spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't really know growing up that it was a liar standing off and the pill is staying on me standing off against Israel for 40 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: 40 nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: We know about David.
[SPEAKER_02]: We know that David is going to ultimately defeat reliable.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really didn't pay attention to the fact that they stood there shouting insults at the children of God for 40 days and 40 nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just didn't pay attention to the fact that it was 40 days and 40 nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were in a place called The Valley
[SPEAKER_02]: through the valley of the shadow of the eye will fear no evil because thou art with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to warn you, I feel like preaching.
[SPEAKER_02]: And here he is in a valley been listening to an enemy shout insults for 40 days and God proves in this text and God is about to prove in your life that they're still favor after 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot hunt that to people in the room who are over the age of 40 real quick.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to make an announcement, you ain't seen your best days yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Better is the ending of a thing than this beginning, do not despise the day of small beginnings.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just came to make a prophetic declaration.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is favor that's going to find you after 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially for you, man of God, the same favor that was all in this text, dripping off every scripture of this chapter is the same favor that's going to be dripping off of you and your wife in your 40s.
[SPEAKER_02]: People are going to look at you and don't you use to do something in your 20s.
[SPEAKER_02]: We thought we saw you at your height, senior 30s.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, sir, have not seen.
[SPEAKER_02]: ears have not heard.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not even entered into your hearts.
[SPEAKER_02]: What God has in store for you, just go wake somebody up and say, favorite after 40.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the enemy been messing with you, the enemy been in your ear, the enemy's been trying to talk to you, the enemy's been trying to distract you, the enemy's been trying to hurl insults at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you just hold on, God's going to set the whole scene up, then I tell you, when you see the number 40,
[SPEAKER_02]: into your hair and see I don't like movies I can tell how it's going in at the beginning of the movie I like a movie where I have to wonder and being suspense what's gonna happen next will let me tell you what happens they best older brothers are already at the war fighting and his daddy tells him who's running back and forth playing music for King Saul and being a shepherd
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesse says go down and take your brothers and check for a number one extra pickles Polynesian sauce in a medium fry and a Oreo shake hold the whipped cream no cherry go down there and take them some water June you go down there and run them some cookout if you will go down and take them some cheese some bread and some cream go down there and I like this because David gets to the battlefield simply because he's being obedient
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was able to be faithful over a smaller side man.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I've learned is if you're too big to do something small, you're probably too small to do something big.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so he'd even only gets to the law because he's being obedient with this smaller side man.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just doing what he's daddy asked them to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just running some, he's just running a snack.
[SPEAKER_02]: He just running the luchable down to the wall and when he gets to, he said, who is this filestine, this nine-foot giant from calf, Goliath, who is this that dares to fire the armies of the living God?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he runs over in the world, gets out, that there's this teenager here, messing with everybody, asking a whole lot of questions, and King Saul and David Connect, he said, let me go fight him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Kings are now, you know, bro, you can't do that because that giant has been fighting grown people since he was a little boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And because some people have never seen favor like this, they will limit what you can do and start for what they think they can't do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because what some people will call this in in psychology is projection Some people will project their fears on you because they're scared and because they're insecure They won't you to move like they move when I don't move like you move and I don't think
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you think, and I don't act like you act just because you think you can't defeat a giant don't mean I can't defeat a giant this David shows us how we walk into the fullness of favor after 40 no matter what that is for you Because that's symbolic some of y'all the same when I ain't 40 in this word is not for me That's not what I'm trying to tell you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to tell you that in your next chapter
[SPEAKER_02]: before your feet get there, it's already favorite, waitin' on you there, before you apply, before you get to the college, before you get the next job, before the seasons shift, somebody just shall favor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, God's favor is gonna already be there, but there's some stuff you gotta do to partner with God, so that you maximize the favor that's gonna meet you in the next chapter of your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do y'all wanna know what you gotta do?
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, you gotta faith it, let the church say faith it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got a faith that F-A-I-T-H faith that I like verse 45.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like verse 47, David, answer.
[SPEAKER_02]: You come at me with sword and spear and battle acts, and I come at you in the name of God of the angel armies, the God of Israel's troops whom you curse and mock.
[SPEAKER_02]: This very day, God is handing you over to me, look at David Tucker.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm about to kill you, cut your head off, and serve you up your body, and the bodies of the Philistine buddies to the crows and the coyotes, the whole earth would know that there's an extraordinary God in Israel, the whole earth would know that there's an extraordinary God in Israel, the whole earth would know that there's an extraordinary God in Israel, and everyone gathered here will learn that God then saved by means of sword and spear, the battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: churchboard on knowing the shop.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said the battle belongs to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it was King James version, it was a this battle belongs to the Lord.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's handing you to us on a platter.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're looking at me and you're missing all your shouts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just gave you 15 reasons to tennis church up for 15 whole minutes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said you got a faith in David looks at his enemy and says today, God is going to give me victory over you today.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm about to defeat you and this battle ain't even gotten nothing to do with me because I'm a child of the covenanta.
[SPEAKER_02]: And because of the power of the covenant, some stuff, God ain't gonna let happen to me because there are generational blessings.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are ancestral blessings connected to the covenant and because I am circumcised and there's been bloodshed, the blood protects me.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, listen it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why he specifically said, who is this uncircum-sized, filestime?
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't serve my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know y'all, wait, like I know y'all, wait.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have the connection, like I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I hold it at 15 people in both sections?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who can you just give God praise that God is on your side?
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got a company connection.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now through circumcision, but through the blood of Jesus, there is a connection.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Hilla is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: The keeper is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: The way maker is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: The creator is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your hope of gyra is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your hope of niches is on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to look back over your life and get God praise because he is your father and you is child.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, yeah, I said faith in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Half of somebody said faith in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't have to have nobody, I'm looking at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, half of somebody said faith in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not just the power of the covenant, it is the past that gave them confidence.
[SPEAKER_02]: They said, I'm not worried about a two-legged giant because when I was in the shepherd's field,
[SPEAKER_02]: One day, a lion came up and took one of my daddy's sheep, and God gave me the strength to go after the lion, and I killed the lion with my bare hands, and another day, a bare came up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I killed the bear, and I got my daddy's sheep back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would I stress about two-legged trouble when I've already defeated four-legged trouble?
[SPEAKER_02]: See, some of y'all are insulting God.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's brought you through too much for you to get to one big season.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like this your first season.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need somebody to wake up in tea.
[SPEAKER_02]: brought you through 21, 22, 23, 24, been faithful in 25.
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll keep you in 26, what are you doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: When you see some people shouting, don't you put no circle around them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let them shout.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody got a testimony.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody is a little bit of testimony.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you got a face it, if they see, I like this verse 48.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then that rouse, the Philistine, after he heard David talking about his guard.
[SPEAKER_02]: That rouse, verse 48, that on the screen, verse 48, that's for the harm, verse 48, that on the screen, that rouse,
[SPEAKER_02]: the Philistine, and he started toward David David, took off from the front line, running towards the Philistine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: He did not let the height or the strength of the giant make him run away.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because in this season, if you're going to experience the full favor of God, hear me, you've got to face some stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I knew it would get quiet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm talking to some avoiders in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: professional of orders.
[SPEAKER_02]: They teach you in psychology that they're for trauma responses, at least for there's freeze.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where you just don't do anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some be it comes up.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just don't do anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just stop.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's me when I have a big project ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just sit there and it's not that you're procrastinating and you're lazy is that you're just overthinking it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you just freeze and then their fawners F-A-W-N, somebody say fawn.
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are the people, please, is where you will literally spread yourself then to keep us, by the else's face.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then you lose joy, you lose peace because you make it everybody else happy trying to keep them happy, but you're not happy yourself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fawners.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of us fawns, some of us freeze, and then some of us fight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody else just be waiting on the reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: to go off on somebody, you woke up this morning and said, I wish they would.
[SPEAKER_02]: God said, ain't nobody done that until you, I know, but just in case, they don't want these hands.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, that's why you left because I just read you, just like that you, you didn't wait for reason to curse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then nobody bothered you.
[SPEAKER_02]: fight, just ready to fight, just aggressive, just abrasive, just rude, just own eggs.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there's this other group, not just fauners, not just fighters, not just freezers, but it's the group I want to talk to today, those who fight.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you just run away from everything, fight, fight, me, just take flight.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can be in the middle of summer, you can hang the phone up on somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so may all their relationship, please keep looking straight ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not trying to get in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's business.
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep looking straight ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the person that went there when it gets tight.
[SPEAKER_02]: All day, they give you the silent treatment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they want to avoid the conflict.
[SPEAKER_02]: And their way of keeping the peace is avoiding it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not just in relationships, but in your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of us avoided it because to face it requires too much emotional intelligence.
[SPEAKER_02]: to face it requires you to actually pray and watch how you talk because you also have to be wise enough to know just because you want to say it may not be the right time to say it and you've got to be smart enough to watch your tone, your temperature and your time and so that you are given the people what they need and not just your feelings and your flesh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty sharp.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know when the church gets quiet, that means I'm on your toes, either say,
[SPEAKER_02]: But in this season, we got David, so no intent on our life.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not running from anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: God is gonna give you the power.
[SPEAKER_02]: God is gonna give you the courage to face whatever you've been running from.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever is putting pressure on you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm here as a angel of God to remind you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Face it and let God handle it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Face it and watch God fix it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Face it and watch God step in and give you what you need.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to be the life running from him, you've got a face in it, and I like folk who are hood and holy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know y'all are getting signed, though, in church.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I find my hood and holy folk?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who can say in this season, I run it from nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to some extent, 10 toes down.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm a deal with whatever I got to deal with.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have the conversation.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to sit down and have the deliberation.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not going into the second half of 2020, six running from stuff that's been getting on my nerves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I find a church up in here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at somebody say, face it, James Baldwin said not everything that his face can be changed, but nothing can be changed until his face, faith it, face it, and then fight it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I asked him, I said, fight him, I like this right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how David beat the Philistine with a sling and a stone.
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit him and he killed him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here there is no sword for David.
[SPEAKER_02]: Verse 50 is coming up.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how David beat the Philistine with a sling and a stone.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you do?
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit him?
[SPEAKER_02]: He killed them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at God.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's on the screen.
[SPEAKER_02]: No sword.
[SPEAKER_02]: for David.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how he beat the Philistine with a sling and a stole.
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He killed them.
[SPEAKER_02]: No so for David.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now a few verses before this, I need to tell you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to watch people who try to make you them.
[SPEAKER_02]: because a few verses before they saw a try to give David his armor.
[SPEAKER_02]: He told him where my armor, take my sword, David tried to walk.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was too heavy for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He took it off.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so he went down by the bridge and got what he was comfortable with.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is five smooth stones and his sling.
[SPEAKER_02]: and so now when David goes to fight the life, watch it now, he has five stones and his slingshot.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Bible says, he only needs one stone, but he took five.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people suggest he took five because the life has some other brothers.
[SPEAKER_02]: And just in case them joke or show them, he'd have some backup.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if that's what it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he took five because in some seasons you have to be prepared to manage a miss.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just in case he missed.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, don't you think, because I missed, I'm done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got some else in my pocket.
[SPEAKER_02]: And some of y'all, people sleep on you because they don't know what's in your pocket.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you ought to tell them, I made missed today.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I promise you, when I wake up to mom.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a sling again.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to find my hood and hold it for, get your sling shot in the spirit, and let's go to war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get our families back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's get our communities back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's get our short back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Get your sling shot and let's get ready to knock the lion.
[SPEAKER_02]: I ain't seen but three warriors in here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said get your slingshot and let's get ready to knock the lie of now Don't be cute today because the enemy ain't been cute with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to get your stance for this You got to get in position for this Cuz everything the enemy stole I believe God's got the power to give it back to you We're also not against flesh and blood
[SPEAKER_02]: and it blessed me that he killed him with a sling, and he killed him with a stone, but that ain't what shouted me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I won the first 50 to be on the screen.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's coming back up there in 2.5 seconds in a half.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's that last little line up there.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, sword for David.
[SPEAKER_02]: some of y'all shout because of what you made it with.
[SPEAKER_02]: I shout because of what I had to make it without.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you sitting by somebody that's been fighting, but they haven't no sword?
[SPEAKER_03]: They didn't have a father, they didn't have millions.
[SPEAKER_03]: They didn't have a mansion, but didn't God bless you without a father, didn't God keep you without a mansion.
[SPEAKER_03]: It God sent you to screw without a million in your inheritance.
[SPEAKER_03]: Open up your mouth and you've got big plays because you're blessed you when I was so.
[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody do it, nobody keep you without a sword.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sickening people's hand like you're going to shake it off and say, name up with your praise God with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I'm making it without some stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have everything I need right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: But if God be full, who can be against me?
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't think it's me, don't be able to trust them, open up your mouth and give them to them.
[SPEAKER_03]: May not have what I want, but I've got what I need, don't as much as I don't want.
[SPEAKER_03]: Five, four years short.
[SPEAKER_03]: by your family, by winning against everything, nothing seen the warrior, so not the right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Stop worrying about what you don't have, and what you're worth it.
[SPEAKER_03]: God, tell you, get what you need.
[SPEAKER_03]: Work it.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's going on?
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody say face it!
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody say fight it!
[SPEAKER_02]: Now somebody shout, finish it!
