 When serious illnesses take us to hospitals, we look to doctors for answers. What happens when there are no more cures? Zara Cooper is an emergency surgeon with palliative care training at Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston. She frequently must deal with patients surprised that they're nearing the end of life. It's certain that everybody's going to die. There's no certainty as to when. Frequently as an emergency surgeon, I'm meeting somebody for the first time and I have no idea that they could die from the disease. There is a particular passage that kind of just makes... Well, actually there's a couple of passages. There's a couple of passages and upon me reflecting on them and just reflecting on my life caused me to think about my mortality. Now, I want to talk about this particular passage. What's the passage? Hebrews 9 verses 27. And is appointed for man to die once and this after this then comes the judgment. At some point in time, I'm going to die. The question is, when? The Bible tells me that my days are numbered by him. He says, Your eyes have seen my unformed substance and in your book were all written. What? My days? The days that were ordained for me as yet... I'm sorry, when as yet that they were... that I was not one of them. So before I was even born, before I was thought of, God had written out when I was going to live, when I was going to die. Now, the reason why I'm thinking about this is because now I am on the other side of 50. I'm on the best side of 50 for some of you who don't know any better. I'm on the good side of 50, not the ignorant side of 50, not the unwise side of 50, not the side of 50 where I do all my dumb stuff, where I do all my ignorant things, where I do all the... No, the hard part of my 50s. The first 50 were the hard 50s. This next 50, the next 50. I'm in my last days. And the reason why I'm saving my last days now, according to me, if you ask me, I've got according to my calculations, according to my calculations, I've got about 77 years left. I told you guys, 128 is when I'm going to die. I have been naming and claiming it. I have decreed and declared. I have spoke to the Lord. Now, he hadn't given me an answer yet, so I'm hoping, I'm hoping. But what if all I really only have is not 77 days, but what if I only got 77... I'm not 77 years, but 77 days? What if all I have is just 77 days left? Or what if all I have is just 7 hours left? What made me think about this is I told you guys a story and I want to share some insight with you guys as to kind of really what makes me tick. Now, obviously, I think the way I think is the right way to think, but we all think that way, right? But there's some ways that I think that I know is the right way to think. There's just some way. Not every way. Every way that I think is not the right way to think. Not every way. But there are a couple of things that I want to kind of share with you, or if I can be a little bit charismatic and impart to you some things. Remember the story I told you guys when I was in the shoe, the special housing unit in the hole, we call it? I had no idea. I had no idea why I was there to this day. Still don't know. Even when I got out of the shoe and went to a case manager in prison, they knew they saw some stuff, but couldn't tell them, but said that it was some mess. You shouldn't have been back there anyway. While I was there, when you are doing right, when you're trying to do right, not to be taken that you've been doing right all along, but when something jars you and you say, okay, I'm going to start doing right. I'm going to start doing right. I'm going to start doing right, but then take away from what I've done in the past, but I want to start doing right, and then you know you're serving the Lord, and you're doing right, and then bam, you get hit with something. Wait a second, Lord, unfair, unfair. Throw a flag on a plate. Time out, God. Did you see what I've been doing? So I'm back in the shoe. Now, this is after my mother had passed away. I mean like weeks. No, about a month or so after my mother had passed. I'm back in the shoe. All my property is gone. All this stuff is gone. I get a letter from the government, from the courts. Your last appeal has been denied. There's still some more things that I could file. No, you know what, God? This is just, what's going on, God? Now, could you imagine at the moment when things are looking unclear, and guys stay back in that shoe. They can be back there for a few days, but a lot of times we're back there for months and months and months and it can drive you crazy. We got one guy in one of the top rungs yelling at two, three o'clock in the morning. He calls himself the president. They call the president. The president is up at two in the morning and he's yelling and he's telling everybody he's going to start firing people that work here. It's just, it can be chaotic sometimes. And so anyway, fast forward seven, eight months after that, I'm free. I'm released from prison. Now, this is why this is important to think about. At the time where things look real chaotic, I mean, real chaos. Like, what's going on? Like, okay, Lord, let me just show some faith. Now, and I did show faith, but that doesn't mean that you don't still have some sort of concern, some sort of worry. Hey, what's happening, Lord? I've got faith that you're going to take me through, but let me get myself prepared. I'm getting ready to be taken through some more. What if though, if I would have known in seven months I'll be home? What if I would have known that in seven months I'll be sitting on my own couch and laying in my own bed, going to my own refrigerator? What if I would have known that at that moment? Could you imagine how well I would have slept? Could you imagine how peaceful my days would have been when the president is yelling at two or three in the morning and cussing out the guards? I would have just smiled. I would have felt good because I know what's going to happen. And so in my mind, it just kind of reaffirmed me. Corey, you need to make sure that as you're going to get out, take advantage of the time. Take advantage of the time. You don't have, you don't know how long you're going to live. Now, I would love, would love to live 128 years. Someone said that you only give, no, you're not giving 120 years, 120 years of the time that he tells Noah to the time the flood starts. So, and then we see people live longer than 120 years after that, but however long I have, I need to make the most of the time that I have. Because again, I have no idea. I have no idea what's going to happen. Jesus tells us this. He says that we must work the works of him who sent, who sent him as long as it is day. Night is coming when no one can work. And what do we know? We know that unless we build the house, unless the Lord builds the house, what? They who do the laboring, they labor in vain. And so Lord, I want these next years, however many it's going to be, to be as productive as possible. Well, what's the problem with that? What's the problem with having or the mindset, the desire to try to be productive? People, you know what, you know, the hard part about being a Christian, you know, the hardest part about being a Christian, you all know, the hardest part about being a Christian is Christians. Church wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the Christians, right? People who say they love the Lord, and many of them do, have a hard time, you butt heads with them. And then there are also those that are inside the church who are plants, who are operatives, who should not be there. But they have a good disguise. They name the name and so we can't put them out because we might be wrong. But everyone that's in church and everyone that's in your face and everyone that smiles and everyone says they love you, hey, I love you, brother. Meanwhile, let me sharpen my knife where I can stab you in the back and in the front. That's the hard part. And then you've got on top of people, you've got different things in the world. You have the world coming at you. So you have the world coming at you and when I say the word, I mean the job, bills, you may have health issues, just everything else. The world. The world. As soon as you open the door from either side, the world can hit you from the inside of your house or from the outside, from either side of the door. The world. Pipes burst into basement. The world. There's something wrong with the transmission. The world. Your neighbor keeps throwing stuff on your yard. The world. You're driving down the highway, hands at ten and two, and somebody comes from the far left lane to the right lane and back over in your lane and slows down. The world. People with a job, the world. Go to church to praise God and somebody, dog going in, somebody's in my seat, in my pew. You know, good and well, that's my spot in church. Well, that's not the world that's you. That's you right there. But the world. And then people. I have learned a whole lot from all the stuff that I've gone through, some of the stuff, what my fault, a lot of the stuff was my fault. And just to learn how people are, how I am, but even more importantly, how God is. I saw something the other day, and you see it from time to time. Tell me, tell me, the world's greatest YouTube family. By the way, by the way, thank you all for the birthday wishes. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Thank you all as well for the for the super chats, the super stickers, and so forth. Thank you guys so much. I've had a pretty uneventful birthday, which is cool. I'd like to have something about getting older. When you get older, uneventful is good. When you get older, let my old folks in the chat. You all give me amen, because you know, the older you get, the quieter you want things to get. Yeah, listen, I don't need a lot of loud music. I don't need a whole lot of this and that. I tell you what, give me a good movie that I can go to sleep on. And I'm good to go. The grandkids in there. Hey, grandkids, happy to see you. Now shut up. Right. The dogs are barking. Hey, hey, fluffy. Now shut up. I want it quiet. That's just how it is. So thank you all for the for the birthday wishes. But tell me, tell me, you guys, have you seen this? Tell me. Tell me, you guys, have you seen this? Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Amen. All gone and divine. You might be the, you might be the best on YouTube. How do you get the younger you get? Amen. But tell me, have you all seen this on YouTube? I've seen this a lot and it just, it bothers me. It makes me wonder. It just, tell me if this bothers you or me or, you know, it probably doesn't bother you. You know, as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't bother you, but it at least makes you wonder. How many times have you guys seen on YouTube? A YouTube content creator or YouTuber, whatever you want to call them? How many, how many times have you seen on YouTube, someone talking about how hard YouTube is? How, how difficult it is? Man, this is hard. It's, and they might have the nice, the nice slow music behind them playing and they want to get serious with you. You know, it's just, and if I'm honest with myself, if I'm honest with you guys, then I just need to tell you, this can be difficult. And so, do you know what I want to do when I see those videos? I want to, I want to text them. I want to tag them and just tell them, shut up. That's the one I know being mean and I shouldn't be mean. I got my Mr. Ryder shirt on. It's comfortable. I'm comfortable today. But I see those videos and I say to myself, hush, why, how, how is this hard? How is this difficult? Trying to find new material, trying to this, trying to that, no, no, I, oh, did you do one of those videos? I'm sorry, Alton. I apologize. Alton, I didn't know. I didn't know. So if you are, make sure you go and subscribe to Alton's channel so you can hear him say that. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But let me tell you why, let me tell you why that bothers me. Now, I understand that everybody wants, everyone that puts a video out, they want their, they want, you would hope the video gets a million views. Dog, I hope this video gets a million views, but what and? No. Oh, he said, I was just kidding. I don't, we're good. Now I can say it. I want to say it. How about that? Because it would be a little bit uncomfortable because I'm about to go in on you guys. But when someone says that they are looking for, they're trying to get, you know, the right material, first of all, I could, if I wanted to, and there was a time where this channel was like the, like the channel that people were talking about for a while, and I could have done what some of these other channels do where, where everything is shocking. Everything is demonic. Everything is, um, this person said that and you won't believe what was said next or this happened next or this person, or they'll circle something or they'll use, um, Vodibacum's face or, uh, John McCarth or whoever. Listen, there are times where you want to use their face because you want to use their body language and so on and so forth. So I think Vodibacum didn't review. Vodibacum did not review my little nIsacs but we see that stuff, right? Because folks are looking for content. I'm sorry, this, this is why it bothers me for the Christian content creators. This, this one by the Christian content creators because you got a Bible you got a Bible. You know what, you know, where you can go and find some really, and I mean some really good content right there. I'm doing like that like that because my Bible software is right there right there that's where some good content is they they have even they've even gone through the trouble because it wasn't like that initially they 66 books 66 books they've even numbered the the chapters and verses and so forth even got a little page numbers beside it or they've even made it even really convenient by putting it on a computer you could go over that yeah but but if I talk about oh I don't know if I talk about this verse it might get 50 views now there is a place to call out people I listen I have you all know I have no problem calling out a false teacher hair-ticking back I'm not gonna do it all the time but there's some teach there there's some there's some some good edifying teaching in that do you know do you guys know I don't have one viral video not not one viral video not one I don't have a video that's gotten over a million views I got I think there's one video that's over 600,000 and then there are a few that are 500,000 for it I think it's one one maybe two to three and thousand you know how they got that they all just kind of went slow I don't have a video it's when just took off don't have that they just kind of just grew and so I had one video that I did two years ago two years ago and it was at like 19,000 just started picking up if you give good content that's evergreen people can come back and watch it because let's say if we're talking about tongues if we're talking about the Holy Spirit if we're talking about baptism if we're talking about salvation toward an aspect salvation those are evergreen those have shelf life yes not viral but what it does is it it it puts you right where you said that you started this channel for to get people something to feed off of and to grow off of and so fine fine it to it takes five years for this video to get to 10,000 views no problem somebody's gonna get something out of it right and so for me Corey you make a lot of videos because all I'm all I'm literally doing is when I've got the time push record go to the scriptures and look at it what I'm not trying to respond by the way guys I read you guys don't believe I do but I really do respond to the emails I really do it's just there's so many and sometimes there's some back and forth and so forth and so sometimes it it it's difficult and so I'm responding to comments most of comments I respond to are those that are negative or they disagree so it can be difficult but when I see a not a regular content creator but a Christian content creator complaining about how hard YouTube is no it's not no it's not you know it's hard being a teacher you know it's hard working in a restaurant on your feet all day you know it's hard working in a factory you know what's hard digging something with it with a with a shovel or pickaxe you know you know it's hard being a police officer you know it's hard working in an office building with some other crazy folks that's hard this isn't literally to go over the scriptures I can look at the I got I spend my time to go through the text I can look at stuff I could it's and so not only is this not hard can I tell you ultimately where I've landed at now you all may disagree with this just this how I look at it I no longer look at life as though it's hard I no longer look at life as though it's hard I just I just don't now when I say hard yeah it takes some effort to you know it takes effort and time to go through this stuff it does it takes them it takes some time or effort to to look at this stuff to go through it to make sure okay am I am I seeing this passage right how would I how should I form it how should I look that part okay it can be some it can be tedious and you want to present it right the right way and I know there are some guys who they'll make a video and they'll put all the editing the moving and this and that and so forth that may your eyes and ears are captivated the moment you push play because there's there's things running across the screen and so forth and there's text popping up and there's b-roll footage popping up and there's music in the background and then you come over to this channel and it's just me there's no text popping up anywhere and there's no music in the background you from time to time you might hear the cat or you might hear the dog that's it so I get that I get that but thank you Ash's time said happy 21st birthday hey man I wish I felt 21 but when you start complaining about this about this stuff it makes me wonder if you're complaining about just life period if you are complaining about life period why because if there should be no reason for Christians to complain about life it matter of fact let me make it even even planer there should be no reason for Christians in America or UK maybe even Canada to complain about life now no no no no no let me answer this marvelous that I disagree Corey preaching is hard because if you misunderstand the text and teach it wrong you are held responsible for misleading the sheep and your life is in trouble now the Bible says James says not everyone should be teachers because there's a strict condemnation does does James or does God expect at some point in time you're gonna get the passages wrong sure he does sure he does he for a fact you know that that's gonna happen but it's also in terms of your of your life but does that mean that the person that's teaching if he gets it wrong that also let's say the person who is not a teacher but let's say that person is living in sin that he's not held or she's not held to a strict standard as well yeah but you know what you all you have to do though marvelous study more go to the scriptures and spend more time into it put more time into it unfortunately there are a lot of people that go and put a little bit of time into it and go to speaking they'll put a little a small amount of time into it and then go to speaking I've had people that'll say Corey you bet they will get upset with me if I cover too many scriptures because now you just confuse me well my job I want to give you as much as I can give you and if you're still confused guess what we can talk about it some more well we keep talking about this topic what we're gonna talk about every single topic and from now to the time that you die I die until the world is it we're gonna keep talking about these topics we're gonna talk about salvation from now until the world ends we're gonna talk about tongues from now until the world ends we're gonna talk about demons from now angels from now until the time in we're gonna talk about everything that's in the Bible from now until the time ends and so I would say to the person that's preaching and teaching if it's that hard stop if it is that hard quit stop Get out. No, no one made you push play. No one made you try to teach the scriptures No one made you want to be a preacher or teacher of that. No one made you that The Bible says the Bible says this that Anyone that desires anyone that desires that anyone desires that they it's them that desire So it's them that desires that not not you. Okay. I mean I got putting you there now Is there a calling on your life? Yes I Understand, that's key. I'll call him back. So that's that's that's my brother's trying to call me on my birthday. So Hey fat brother of mine, I'll call you back later So I will call you I will call you back. I will call you back. All right, so anyway, that's my brother That's my that's my background. That's right. That's my background music right there my brother He's been calling me and calling me Actually, just got the calling here, too. I didn't I ignored him. So I guess he really was yeah, did I call him fat? Yes Did I call my brother fat? Wait, you should see him I'm so I'm kid. It's my brother. I can call morning start. I can call my brother fat. He calls me names. I Got a fat brother got a dumb brother I'm kid me and my brothers. We love each other Listen, we just we we say all kind of crazy stuff each other and if any fat shame me It's it's not fat shame me if it's true about your own brother But we love each other we can now I wouldn't call some somebody else that but that's what we do from a time We were this big and even though he's gotten this big. Hey, I can I can do that, right? He usually recalls me, but we I love my brother to death So y'all don't be too upset because I because I pick on my brother He picked don't listen. He's all my brothers are bigger than me and they picked on me all my life now now I'm stronger than them They can't whoop me and so it's some get back Yeah, 16 17 18 years your life you get picked. Yeah, you listen. Hey So anyway, no, it's all in love, but If a person has set themselves up as wanting to be a teacher fine if anyone desires This office, it's you to desire Any of these are if you desire them, well then fine So what do you do? Be faithful That's why Timothy says to when he's when he's going out and getting them He says he says to go and get faithful men people are gonna be faithful to text and So no, yeah, I listen. It's you know, it's like it's like signing up for the military you volunteer and Then when the war starts complaining that they hey, they're shooting what? That's not only what you signed up for you Signed up for just in case they start shooting. They've trained you to shoot back You you join the football team and you and you quit because they're tackling too hard. That's what you signed up for and so Continuing for the faith is not an easy job. It takes thorough study. Yep people harp about you being too scowl You what have we become? Isn't that something and If you guys could see some of it's like wow now, I will say this though some of those comments have become the Have was led into some of these videos like because there's a lot of there's a lot of people who Just don't get it and by the way You're supposed to understand that everybody's not gonna get it and everybody's gonna get it when you want them to get Because how long it'll take for you to get it? And even even however far along you are however far along I am or however far along I think I am it took me forever to get here It took me God had to knock on my head a thousand times to get me right, right? And so you can't explain something to someone and then think that hey, they haven't gotten it right yet Ain't no hope for them. Huh? Wait, so that's not that's not how that works That's not how that works and So if you want to be if you want to do this you need to decide How you're gonna proceed you if this is too hard for you then what is life? Well, what's your life like? What do you what do you complain? I have a problem guys with people that complain about stuff in life I really do I really do Because you only have two choices Die or keep living Now if you if you decided you're gonna keep living Now figure out how you want to live Because how sad would it be if I Used to think that the worst thing would be to die too soon. I Used to think that the worst thing would be to die too soon again Don't have no idea now after age about 26 27 your body is dying You certain parts of your body start dying and then other things are kicking in You don't retain as much oxygen in your lungs or in your blood Bone start the density of your bones started it's our goal starts going away You you literally literally start dying and I used to think that it was it was bad It was a bad thing if you died too soon No, no for some people. It's a bad thing if they died too late if they take too long to die That makes no sense Corey. I'll tell you how it makes sense because you live your life Worrying and complaining and doing nothing about the things you're worrying complain about and then your life is prolonged for another 40-50 years you spend 50 years of your life complaining of worry Beating yourself up when there are things you can do something about it. Okay. I'm in Bible I mean, I'm in Bible country Paul says not that I've already obtained it or have already become perfect But I press on so that I made layhold of that for which I which also I was laid hold of by Christ's brother I do not regard myself as having laid the hold of it yet But one thing I do for getting what lies behind me and Reaching forward to what lies ahead I press on toward the goal of the prize of the upper call of God in Christ Jesus My whole life is to do just that and They're gonna be some things along the way that that will be beneficial some things aren't necessarily for the body It's for me, but I'm moving forward. Okay. Yeah, I messed up a week ago. I messed up a month ago a year ago Haven't gotten there, but I'll keep pushing forward to win till I'm dead My daughter asked sick. She said daddy. When do you when are you gonna rest? You the whole say we say we'll rest when I'm down. I'll rest when I'm dead I'll rest when I'm dead. No, there's no such thing as a premature death because He's already determined it for you remember. He says that your days are numbered your eyes I have seen my unformed substance and in your book were all written the days that were ordained for me No, no premature death. And so it's a point of demand wants to die in the judgment So guess what be ready for that death be ready when he calls you home Hopefully you're like David as acts tells us that After he fulfilled his purpose He died he rested with his father's Now you're gonna die But I pray that your purpose was fulfilled and your purpose was something tangible that somebody benefited from it and So therefore because you got life and you got people you can't sit and complain because did you not know? Once you became 18 21 would have you or 30 did you not know that life was a contact sport and Most of the most of contact most of the blows you're gonna get is gonna come from you Most of the wounds you get are self-inflicted They told you don't date that guy Leave that guy alone and what did you do odd? You just had you just had to you because you thought he was cute You thought he was this you thought he was that you just had to okay leave that girl on yeah, okay fine She's she's pretty she all right. Okay Now you can't stand her or her family Oftentimes when we mess up we've we've had some warnings didn't we how many all of my greatest mistakes in life There was some warning and I didn't eat it So So what am I gonna do sitting complain one of my pet peeves is Complaining complaining complaining When I hear it in my mind shut up shut up with all that complaining Unless you go do something about it shut up Hush hush quiet or go do something about it. So I don't know when I'm gonna die again I've been praying Lord 77 more years 128 Why 128 core? Why do you want to live to be 128? So that I can say I live in the 1900s to 2000s and the 20 and the 20 the 20th 21st and 22nd century Yeah, then I can say hey, amen I'll have the same haircut for the next 77 years. I'll have the exact same hairdo So I don't have to worry about that. I'll be good But if I if I listen if I die at 52 If I if I die Now are there some things that I want to accomplish for my family and so forth. What's sure sure But only what you do for God only what you do for Christ is what's gonna remain and So what I'm doing. I pray that the Lord is in lockstep concert with me Because otherwise as we read I would be laboring in vain My goal is to serve him as Beth. I want to live the rest of my life serving him. I Want I Want to live my the rest of my life serving him and It's gonna be a bunch of people. I mean a bunch of people that's gonna come at you a bunch of My aunt turned 105 in March. Looks like she might be another She might be on that put her 120. Hey, amen. People seem to be living a little bit longer People seem to be living a little bit longer, but I don't get bothered when I Don't get bothered when people Really say a lot of stuff. I Really don't There are a lot of times I'm more amused when people say do all these name calling and this and that or what have you I Don't want to repay evil with evil in Many cases. I want to repay evil or and sometimes sometimes sometimes people aren't just evil. They just might be ignorant I might be the ones ignorant, but assuming I'm not then What I'll just do is just repay their evil or their ignorance with sometimes silence because that makes them mad that have you ever had a person? That really wanted to get underneath your skin and they can tell they're not When somebody really wants to get under your skin and they see that they're not that bothers the oh, I'm trying to I'm shooting at you and it's like he's just he's ducking or he just eating the bullets That bothers her That buzz I'll tell you what I do. He's more silence I'll let you dissect every single I'll let you hang on every single word that I'm saying So as you can think that I'm what I'm saying is about you when it's not Have you have I'm talking about Frank over here and Bob who's hating on me thinks I'm talking about him Your name didn't come up you literally weren't a thought but because you thought I was thinking about you Now you bother even more so Now now it now it just hurts you on the inside. It's killing you that I'm not giving you what you want Praise God But praise God so and they get tough especially especially me ladies continue this Let me tell you this ladies There are a lot of men out here Who are more? Let's see what I'm trying to think of a good way to put this I'm trying to put a good a good Christian way to put this There are more Gossiping men out here than women We said let me put it that way here There are more gossiping men out here than there are women and doesn't mean that women don't gossip either But there are more gossiping men out here than women See if the issue that you have with the person and I'll say this a thousand times if the issue that I have With with with you is doctrine on then hey the Bible is fair game But personal attacks and this and that or whatever and your mom was this and you I'm not doing all that for what? For what aren't we grown? Hold on. Wait a second. Hold up. Stop for a second Morningstar. Do you have a channel? I see someone subscribe to you. Do you have a Morningstar? Do you have a channel? Y'all if Morningstar has a channel if Morningstar has a Christian channel y'all make sure you go over and Subscribe to her channel Y'all make sure let's make sure she says yes So y'all make sure y'all go subscribe to her channel go support again I want as many Christians on YouTube Why because the more the married the better The more there are That you too can be inundated with Christian thought Christian speech and that they would respect us even more That's your legal name, too. Wait a second. You're so your your legal name is Morningstar Was it changed a Morningstar or did you that's pretty cool? That's pretty cool Okay, interesting but It's bothersome though when I see when I see men and women act like kids When I see men women act like kids and so sometimes I don't I don't have a whole lot of use for you It's just better it's wiser We're not gonna have a contest in public about who's the biggest the baddest the toughest and so forth. Okay So so you say So so you say I let you know I literally had a guy in prison who told me You this you that you this you that you hear for this you're for that you're for that and he said I said no I'm not he said I bet you $20 $20 worth of commissary Okay, okay Put up my paperwork No, just how do I know how do I know this paperwork is legal? This is just the right that you didn't okay? Whatever whatever you you win you win Because you know what you can't do Now I told you guys I've got to drop some life-saving nuggets on you today That's what I'm gonna do. Oh, cuz I'm on the good side of 50. You know what you can't do you cannot argue with stupid You just can't Cory you call somebody to yep there. There really are people that are stupid the Bible user. There are people that are stupid Prayerfully they'll come out of that In the name of Jesus, let's let's lay hands on them But they're just are now you become the fool by trying to educate this person on the fly to to Cast out this demon of stupidity out of this person to try to convince them. I'm not doing that I just showed you I just said to you and you don't believe me. Well, amen fine Then we can we can part and go our own ways. I pray we see each other in heaven other than that Hey, I I don't have to have anything to deal with you. I can love you and never see you ever again That's possible That is pop I can love you and never ever ever ever ever see you again Especially if I know that I haven't done anything to wrong you a Buddy of mine in prison. He was he was the man was was he was kind of crazy Yeah, you know why you kind of crazy He told me something and it just stuck with me He said his father told him this so I'll tell it to you guys as well He said when you find the dummy leave him one Know what when you say when you find a dummy leave him one When you find someone that is this way leave him that way Are you getting ready to change them? sometimes life has to change a person You tell them you help them and they won't okay fine now It's time for life other word another name of putting another way putting this is it's time for God to deal with them So sometimes you have to move let God deal with that person Let God deal with that person Because he can do a much better job than I can I'll be guilty of not doing wrong by you And so for that reason You could say what you want to say you can do what you want to do now There's something that you can say and can do that might you know The moment the moment that it is not personal towards me fine say what you want to say again I don't care, but the moment that it's attacking her or them Because what I do know What I do know is me in prison ain't that big a deal So if I have to do something to protect my family and you all should be the same if that's what that's the only reason That you can get that's the only way that you can get me to jump out there if my family's threatened other than that We're good, and you can't really threaten hurt my family on on YouTube or Facebook or What are the other ones Instagram or Twitter? You so therefore I'm not threatened We are 20 years old we're 30 we're 40 we're 50 Words should not hurt you What somebody else is doing should not hurt you you're on YouTube and you got a This guy you got 5,000 subscribers this guy got 100,000 subscribers You got 40 views this guy got 400,000 views. So what? So What does that have to do with where God is moving you? Because it may be that that person may who knows get demonetized that person might get put off YouTube It may be that guys got something more for you, and this is just a step in time I've told you before that you this the reason why I can't get too caught up in YouTube Because YouTube is a stepping stone YouTube is just kind of I'll probably always be on YouTube, but not nearly as much because YouTube was never the end game You two was never the the final destination YouTube was just now. I didn't know I didn't know anything about YouTube to my daughter's told me about it It's just a place where you can just use it to get the word out. So amen Amen Hey Corey, what brought this on? September 20 1972 that's what brought this on it hit me last night the dog on it. I'm 51 I'm 51 and look every bit of 22 I'm kidding. I wish I did look 22. I saw a picture of me When we had when we I was young we got married young and I saw That's it was that the day I turned 20 1972 That would make me really old Dutch that was mean that you hurt my feelings No, actually actually if I was 72 and looked like this man I'm not saying I look like anything, but I think I look pretty good for a 72 year old That's just that's just me but But I woke up and it just hit me I'm on the other side of 50 and I think that there are some things that we just need to just People get bothered when you don't agree with them. Y'all do y'all notice that people get upset when you don't agree with them Why do I have to agree with you? I'm gonna answer them your question a little bit. Y'all I see your comments. I don't have to I Don't have to agree with you. You don't have to agree with me fine Your family won't even watch it my family watch my videos She said my family won't even watch my videos y'all make sure y'all go over and watch her video morning star You better give us some good stuff. I'm kidding Y'all go check out our channel and subscribe, but you know what's funny my family don't they don't even watch mine Yeah, my wife my wife didn't watch my videos my daughters. They don't watch my videos There's a reason we got you I Have literally I have literally asked people I asked my family or my family's asked me about a certain topic I said, you know, you know, I literally I literally just did that video today. How come you didn't see it? They might say baby, I don't watch your stuff. I Think one daughter just subscribed so it is what it is. That's his family. I don't expect them to I don't I don't expect them to They've heard a thousand times But Someone said Cory Cory paid for his subscribers. He bought some subscribers. No, I haven't no I haven't and And and what's funny is one of the guys there or two of people that were talking about it back and forth They were subscribers that I did I buy you know, I Unsubscribed then I'm not moved one way or the other. I'm not bothered by it Because that's not my goal my goal is to serve him I Been praying about it Moving in that direction towards ultimately planning a church. It may not happen. It may have There are some folks that don't want me to do it Praise God. There are some folks that do want me to do it. Praise God. You don't want me to plan a church fine Don't go to church. You ain't going to church. Anyway, so soft Cory you shouldn't have said that Why not I Don't I can't I can't have an opinion I can have an opinion and listen if you ever if you ever talk to By the way, have you ever noticed? Have you have you ever noticed? I hope you do plan a church. Can I be a deacon? I Don't know. I mean we gotta we gotta see what your ties are like You listen to be to be a deacon in the first church of the overcoming Baptist missionary Church of God in Christ Yeah, we don't we're taking ties at this church Everything I taught against we don't do so I didn't make sure your ties are given So once we see what your tie game is like then fine I'm kidding. But Cory You're not qualified more videos on the way listen make more videos I The channel does well with you know, I the channel does well with a bunch of videos against me The channel does well with a bunch of videos that aren't against me. I'm good one way or the other There shouldn't be any videos made against me though Because you don't watch my stuff. So therefore you can't make a video And the one thing that anybody that anybody that anybody ever wanted to do I mean that could these make anybody could do just call me By the way, I can't tell you something this you all don't know this, but you better know it now You don't know this but you're about to know it now. Do you know no lie? I'm not I'm Lord knows I'm not exaggerating. I'm not making this up. I'm not lying Every single person that's on YouTube or that watches YouTube That has had a problem with me And it's called me out or said negative things. I want y'all to hear this and this is a fact Every single person that's had a problem with me Called me out called me name said I was this said I was that either their comments or made a video Every single one of them. Are you ready the drum roll? Every single we have sound effects over here. Let me let me make this dramatic Where's my sound stuff that do I have some sound effects over here? There they are Do I know they don't have a drum roll over here dog on it this this Software doesn't bring about a drum roll. It got a lot of those little sounds over here But didn't have that anyway every single person that's made a video about me that says something everything that every When they've actually talked to me on the phone Do you know not one of them? Not one Ever left saying yeah, you're in sin. You're wrong. You're wrong not one of not one said yeah You're wrong about this other head. What am I wrong about? Well, not I don't think y'all I just want to see this happen Not not one and if they say different they're lying not one single person and by the way They you can you can call me or you can email me not one That's actually talked to me ever left the conversation and said you're wrong about this Not one now. They may come back later and say But not talking to me I can think of 10 people right now that has made negative comments that I've talked to when they talk to me didn't which is fine Which is fine. I listen Do you know who I care the most about? Let me let me give you the order of The people that I care the most about in order No, he has not. No, it's not gonna come. I don't think it's gonna come but in order the Lord number one No, him to No, no, no rightly dividing word him to the last time I spoke to him to did not say I was wrong about something The the last no, of course the last conversation was just hey I think you you know why the change but that was it. That's that's that's a whole another story Go back and listen to it. He never So but anyway the Lord number two Sure, that's my wife Who had all the reason in the world? You know what? I'm up. I'm out of here Pac-Man. I'm gone I'm through with this. I'm through with this joke this Joker Corey's a loser Yeah, yeah of all the people in plan back. She could say that care about what she thinks my children and my grandchildren Even though I tell them I don't care what you think because I don't care what you think I do care what you think but I don't care what you think I care what you think I care about your feelings, but I really don't care that much to change what I'm doing But I can I when you cry I feel a little sympathy towards your towards your cry And I get up and do what I told you to do for us. Thank you um And then after that everybody else And if you let me I'll treat you as kindly as I as as you need to be I'll I'll talk with you all of those things You just talk to me So but you'll notice though The people that have been with me Friends from high school. They're friends from high school friends from church Friends previous to me going to prison friends that I met in prison people after that femoris still good What's up with the title I'm dying I just don't know when and since I don't know when Since I don't know when I'm dying it would behoove me ladies and gentlemen It would behoove me to get my act together if it is together to keep it together to keep moving forward The the reason for the title is if you if you saw the intro We don't we have not come to grips with the fact that we are dying We have not come to grips with the fact that we are dying and possibly dying soon How many of this chat? How many of you guys in the live chat right now are going to die next week? Let me just make this more sobering How many of you are going to die next week? You you don't know do you Well, why don't you get everything in order? Why don't you make sure that you're right? Right now Make sure that you're right right now You have no idea when you're gonna die That's why he says no one can work when what when it's dark So we must work while it's day You have no clue when you're gonna die Now If you were told when you're gonna die What would you do? I have no idea I feel like that there's some things that that that the lord has left for me to do And I do believe this that everyone is immortal When you're in god's purpose When you're out of it or when that purpose has run its course And then you know, hey watch out for that truck when you're crossing the street right Watch out for that tree during the storm But when you are being used by god And you are In perfect submission to him to his purpose then yeah, nothing's gonna happen to you But I don't know when that purpose is going in I don't know when that purpose is going in So do you think that god can take you out earlier than what he written? No, no, no, no, no Nope, he will take me out exactly when he has purposed to take me out Now the bible tells us this We know that god Notice this word here causes He works with All things to work together for the good of those who love god to those who are called according to his purpose So therefore what does that tell me? Everything is going to work for the good to those who love him Including if I died what I would think it's early not early. This is when he purposed it And also he's worked all things to be for my good When I get to heaven, I'm going to heaven. When I get to heaven I've got one complaint. It's not even a complaint. Can you imagine having one complaint? One complaint And I'm guys, I'm being I am being facetious. Somebody's gonna make a video about this, but I've got one complaint God what took you so long? If you die at age, I don't know 22 And you and you go to be with the father Do you care about the 40 or 50 or 60 years that you may have lost out on? No, what did you gain you gain eternity? Now if you die earlier And you're an unbeliever All you did was just prolong the inevitable You're going to hell Now why is all this important? Because it's not just me dying. You're dying Because it's not just me dying. You're dying What are you doing with it? The fact that I knew if I could I took before if I could have known that I was on my way home in seven months If I could on my way home in seven months How would I how would I have responded during those seven months a lot less stress now? I would I didn't have a lot of stress But now would I've changed some things? Sure. I bet you I can add that how many zeros is that whatever it is that you'll be dead in a hundred years from now 151 151 My friend you got to bet The easiest bet to make right since need since neither of us will be around but yeah, I'm I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure I will not be around in a hundred years I'm pretty sure Does God remove me from the earth? There's so I'm not I'm not understanding how you saying this Derek Does God remove me from the earth to You got some some spell check stuff here Um Resent it and I'll ask I'll answer it again Resent it and I'll answer I'll answer it again Is naming and claiming biblical new it's not there's a There's a pastor in romans that says it's God who God who calls those things that are not as though they work. It's God not us And so Certain folks in the word of faith movement have have Co-opted that to take that to mean that we can do the same thing because God is living in us. No Why do you think there's so much division amongst christian youtube community doesn't God hate it depends on what the division is Because not everyone that's on youtube and cause of a christian is that part and so There really shouldn't be a division if the issue is over doctrine. For example, there are some people Who disagree with me on eternal security? There's one brother. Um, Caleb. He is with uh, I think biblically We and he and I disagree we disagree on eternal security That's a good brother in the lord good as far as I can tell I don't know what what he's doing at home if he's you know, if he's if he's going around and killing folks on the country side in Australia I have no idea but from what I can tell good brother in the lord He just disagrees with that and so that part is okay That part is okay because what it should do is When we're talking doctrine This is why you should have issues if you're going to have issues it should be centered around doctrine Because if I have an issue with your personal life, I can't go and search that up. Hey, this was why he did that in the back Where am I going to get that from and then who's going to tell you for what I'm looking at is right Or if I'm understanding all of the pieces, right? But what I can look at if it's an issue of doctrine We have the same bible We can go look that up So if I list if I if I go look at the bible And I and I see this and you see that well now What is it what is it called? What should it be causing it should be causing the body to go and search the scriptures for themselves So that you're not just taking my word or that person's word now You're taking a lot of arguments with that But it's our arguments with the word and so that that part is okay that part is okay because We're going to get some things wrong and some things right By the way again, let me just say it again. Thank you all You guys have blessed me. Thank you all for the uh for the super chats. I really I ride. Thank you I appreciate you But I want to give this to you guys This is how I live this is how I live Matter of fact, this is actually one of my first bible study lessons I did in college had no idea what I was doing I had no idea what I was doing in this lesson Just for this reason I say that you do not be worried about your life as to what you will eat or what you will drink Nor your body as to what you will put on it. Now, that doesn't mean that you don't regard it Obviously, they're going to be something. Yeah, I wonder, you know But he's not saying that you shouldn't regard what's happening that you should know just don't get to point where you're frantic about it Knowing that God is going to do something for those things for your health and well-being for the food for the clothes You'll have something on the moral may not be the it may not be the nicest of clothes But you'll have something you'll put something in your belly might not be the best You might not be the fullest afterwards But he he'll because notice what he says he says look at the birds of the air Are they do not so nor reap nor gather into barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them? Are you not much more than they are now? What do the birds do? the birds They don't sit and twiddle their thumbs or their feathers Worrying about I wonder where some twigs are where there's some worms or no, they just go and they're there If the bird doesn't find worms If the bird doesn't find twigs and so forth to build a nest That bird is not destroyed The bird would just go and do it again go and go and seek what he's supposed to do. So what does he say? Do not worry Instead what does he say the famous passage in 33 says therefore but therefore seek The kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added. So what do you see? If you're going to worry about something worry about how you're going to get closer to God How much time do you have to pray? How much time you have to read? How much time you have to study? Make that your focus and everything else and so for me and and people say, I don't Well, let's for me Not because I'm so super and awesome and spiritual I just had a some rough things happen that caused me that forced me to trust him even more so Whereas I had a problem with trusting me And the problem was I trusted me more than I trusted him I'm all right. God bless what I'm about to do. I'm gonna do this. Bless it and so Thinking about my life September There's a I was listening to my my aunts tell a story My cousin uh katrina She was born on september 29th So i'm nine days her big cousin And I always tell her I never let her forget i'm your big cousin And the story was this I didn't notice at the time but the story was this that her mother my aunt brinda went to the hospital in labor on september 29th And they were telling the story and they said well how my mother And me I was coming out of the she was coming out of the hospital with me as brinda was going in No, okay, that's cute. Then I thought about it I thought about jay. You're september 30th. Hey man. I thought about it. Wait a second. Hold on Why did I meet her going out of the hospital when she was going in and she went in on the 29th? Well, because september 20th 1972 the day I was born was also the day I almost died I almost died and so I had because my mother was you know doing stuff with substances that weren't prescribed by a physician I had drugs in my body and almost died And they had to keep me there for nine days and they released me on september 29th to go home So the day I was born the day I almost died and so even then I've just gone through different stuff Having two attempts on our life I mean, I'm not I'm not making this up two attempts on our lives for people to come and kill us twice One of those resulting in that one we had to move from one side of town the other side of town The other resulting in us moving from Indianapolis to Milwaukee And even there was just we we moved to a rough part of Milwaukee anybody know Milwaukee 20th and north is where we lived If you don't know about 20th and north just google 20th and north in in in Milwaukee, especially in the 80s the early 80s Rough rough rough rough We lived in a bad part of town and when we left Indianapolis we were on 42nd and post road Somebody go talk about 42nd post road we One of the claiming things that we kind of helped usher that in It was it was rough then rougher now and so Life was just difficult But over the course of time God has just forced me to trust him Whereas I thought that I had to make things happen God said no I'll make it happen and cause me to lean on to him and his understanding And so at 51 you know I'm gonna live the next 50 The next 50 years of my life Is I'm gonna live a certain way Pushing forward you guys have to say no problem. No problem. Okay Uh, I may give concern with the last 27 years of my life So the next 50 and the next 27 years thereafter so I don't worry about the things that aren't important I don't worry about the things that aren't of god I don't worry about the things that don't affect my family The things that affect you guys I worry about As best I can all you can do is all you can do And then those that have an issue with me that hate me that don't like me Praise god pray. I get to your level of godliness but All the name calling okay fine You want me to respond to that my response is silence Because and I hate using this phrase, but I'm grown you're grown. Let's act Cory was an 80s team. Was it? Yeah, you know I was I had to figure that out. Cory was an 80s team. Yeah, I was 80. I wasn't 80.
