Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey. My closes. The remarks are that I want you
all to be aware of something that I've found to
be a little bit troubling sometime. It's the word karma.
The word karma. I've been watching people and they toss
this word around so loosely, and I want you all
to be careful, be careful of people who always use

(00:21):
the word karma, because they throw it around like like
like like like they have the right to. You know,
it's it's is Is there a karma committee and who's
on it? Who determines what's happening to you as karma?

(00:42):
Don't throw that word around so easily, because if you
look up the definition of calm and you google it,
it'll throw you off a little bit because it really
has a lot to do with religion and and and
and and certain religions in this world. That's where the
word karma came from. So when people always talking about, yeah,
that's karma, what's happening to you? And that's not all
the way, it's not always the case. Be careful of

(01:04):
people who use that word a lot, because I have
to warn you who determines what karma is? And how
long does karma last? Have? You ever noticed people throw
that word around to keep you in a certain place,
to keep you in a certain category, to keep you

(01:25):
feeling a certain kind of way, even after you've moved
on long from it. Real negative people have a tendency
to throw this word calm around. I want y'all to
be aware of this, man, because it's dangerous to let
people do it. See. God has this thing called grace
and mercy, and God passes it out to whoever asks

(01:48):
for it. If you ask God for forgiveness for something,
and God gives you his grace and he forgives you,
that allows you to be forgiving. God never brings it
back up again and free to move on. So you
gotta be careful of people who talking about every time
something happens to you, they relate it to something that

(02:09):
you did before, and they call it karma. That's not
what it is, y'all, listen to me. The vast majority
of things that happened to you, it ain't karma. It's
just life. What are you talking about? You lose a
love one that ain't calma. You don't you know something

(02:34):
happens to you negatively, that's not karma, that's life. It's
called trials, it's called test, it's a challenge, it's a
setup for a comeback. It's a lot of things. But
it don't have to be calmer man. You know, listen

(02:58):
to me. If you if you murder someone and you
get sent to prison, and that's justice, that's what that
that's justice. You can call it karma if you want to,
but it's courts. It's just justice. I notice a lot
of people use karma to keep you from feeling forgiven.

(03:25):
I know, on a personal note, that I've done something
way back when I was a young man, and do
you know that there are still people in my life
when something negative happens to me, they refer back to
that moment as karma. I don't let him do it
to me. God has been forgiven me for the things

(03:45):
I've done as a young man. He been forgave you
a long time ago for the things you've done as
a young man. You've had so many blessings that occurred
in your life since you made that mistake as a
young man, as a young girl, as a young woman.
Do you know how many blessings you've had since you've
made those mistakes? Then, when something else called life pops

(04:06):
up your way. Here comes somebody wanting to relate it
back to the time you had your baby, the time
you left this man, you walked out of this way,
and they want to call that karma. Don't let them
do that. Listen to me, y'all. God is in the
forgiven business. When He forgives you, don't let people keep

(04:27):
you from being free of it by reminding you of
a word that they throw around way too loosely, call
karma every time some happen. You see on en that
karma's a bee? Calm? Is this calm? Is that coming?
Who are these people? Who is the karma committee? I
don't go for that. I have no karma committee that

(04:49):
I answer to. I answer to my heavenly father, and
I suggest that you do too. So from now, when
you ask God for forgiveness and God forgives you, move
on and don't let nobody on the comma committee hold
you to your former past and your formal mistakes, because
God has allowed you to move on and you should

(05:12):
thank you very much. Those are my closing remarks. Hope
you got something from it. Hey, y'all, listen, God willing
