Yo, today's QOD is, if you curse

0:03

the rich, you will never be one

0:05

of them. Here we go. Welcome

0:33

back to the QOD of the Day Show.

0:35

I'm your host, Sean Croxton, the Sean Croxton

0:37

dot com. We got Reverend Ike on the

0:40

show today. I remember back

0:42

in the day when I was broke,

0:45

I was so broke, I was disappointed myself

0:48

as well because I'd always heard that I

0:50

would go to college and graduate and then

0:52

I would be like rich and

0:55

didn't really work out that way. I

0:57

mean, there was no one on the

1:00

other side of the graduation stage handing

1:02

me a bag of money. It

1:04

just didn't quite work that way. Fast

1:07

forward 10 years

1:09

later, I've got Bill Collectors calling and

1:12

living in this little shoe box of

1:14

a studio apartment that smelled like shrimp

1:17

and rotating the same two pair

1:19

of jeans. It

1:21

was terrible. And

1:24

I just had this light bulb moment

1:26

about why I was so broke. Like

1:29

I never really had an issue providing service.

1:32

I was always pretty decent with money. I just couldn't

1:34

keep it. And I

1:37

realized that I didn't

1:40

want to be one of them. And

1:44

who I mean by them is rich

1:47

people. I had all

1:49

these negative ideas in my mind about rich people.

1:51

Like if you had a lot of money, I

1:53

automatically just didn't like you. I thought there was

1:55

something bad about you. I thought you were miserable.

1:57

I thought you were greedy. I thought you were

1:59

just as terrible. I was like, oh my God, I can't keep money

2:01

and I don't have as much money as I

2:03

want to have. And

2:06

I'm in deep debt right now because

2:08

I'm afraid of being one of them.

2:11

And I think a

2:13

lot of people are in that

2:15

very same type of thinking.

2:18

It's like we want

2:20

more abundance, but we despise people who live

2:22

abundantly. And

2:25

then we think about, or how are

2:27

people going to perceive me when I

2:29

finally make it financially? And then

2:31

you think, oh my gosh, they're going to look at me the way

2:33

that I've been looking at rich people myself. And

2:36

it's just a huge block. It's

2:38

a great way to reject

2:41

the financial abundance that

2:43

you deserve. And

2:45

I'll tell you, I had a lot of limiting

2:47

beliefs about money, but I think that was maybe

2:50

top two or three. And

2:52

if you've got that one, you're probably

2:54

never going to have the abundance that

2:56

you want financially. It's just simply not

2:58

going to happen. You are not going

3:00

to become someone who you see

3:02

as your enemy. It doesn't really work that way.

3:05

And so, you know, as

3:08

Reverend Ike says here, I mean, if you curse the rich, you're never

3:10

going to be one of us. And

3:12

so, you know, these days I

3:14

know that everybody's not a good person, rich

3:17

or poor. But I also know that

3:19

I have the choice to

3:22

choose how I'm going to be

3:24

as someone who is

3:27

financially prosperous. And you

3:29

have that choice as well. Reverend Ike's

3:31

coming up. Now,

3:33

that's another thing, and I want to warn you about

3:35

this. You know, a lot of people are good at

3:37

visualizing things for other people. Yeah,

3:41

that's for Rockefeller. That's

3:45

for those rich people. You'll

3:49

pass by those mansions in Bel Air and Beverly Hills

3:51

and look where the rich people live. Look at that.

3:53

That's for them. And you're really telling yourself,

3:55

well, that's for them. I see them with

3:57

it, but I don't see myself with it. Okay,

4:06

if you can see it for other people, why can't you

4:08

see it for yourself? I

4:10

taught people to do this. Here's a little text to you. That

4:13

whenever you see people being doing and

4:15

having good, always be glad for them,

4:17

always rejoice for them. And

4:19

say good things about them in

4:22

your mind. I said, look at that old rich so and so. The

4:26

Bible says, curse not the rich. And

4:29

like says, if you curse the rich, you'll never be

4:31

one of us. Now,

4:36

let me finish the technique with

4:38

you. So

4:46

whenever you see people prospering,

4:49

always rejoice and bless them in your heart.

4:53

Always do that.

4:56

You see, you'll magnetize yourself for that

4:58

good when you bless other

5:00

people. But you know, if you have a jealous there, oh,

5:02

look at that. Why should they

5:04

have that when I've got so little? Yeah,

5:07

because you work, you

5:09

operate your mouth against yourself. That's

5:11

why. There's a verse of scripture

5:13

also that says, thou art ensnared

5:16

by the words of thy mouth.

5:20

You know, the mouth can be a dangerous

5:22

thing until you learn how to operate it

5:24

positively. Some

5:29

people are like a prosecuting

5:31

attorney against themselves. Every

5:37

time you think of something good, you talk yourself out

5:39

of it. Yeah, but

5:41

I know I just know I, I sure wish.

5:44

No, but I can't. But oh, I should

5:46

Lord, I sure wish. Thou

5:51

art ensnared by the words of thy mouth. Don't

5:54

do that. Now, what was I talking about?

5:57

Yes, you got to see it. You remember. Flip

6:00

Wilson, the comic, who used to say, what you see?

6:04

What you get, that's true. And the

6:06

man who said to me, wherever I

6:08

got saw this Rolls-Royce carnation, my visualization,

6:10

he made the mistake, he didn't see

6:12

himself with it. So also when

6:14

you see people with good, always

6:17

say also, when you pass those fine homes,

6:20

fine cars, people are looking good, say, that's

6:22

for me. Let

6:24

me hear you say it. That's for me.

6:26

Say it again. That's for me. Say

6:29

it again. Say it, bless it, bless

6:31

them, and say,

6:33

that's for me. That means that you

6:35

include yourself in that idea of good.

6:40

That was Reverend Ike's website.

6:42

It is reverendikelegacy.com. You

6:45

can watch today's talk or listen to today's talk on

6:48

YouTube, but it's called Rev

6:50

Ike On Deciding, Receive, Manifest

6:53

Your Desire, Sermon One Hour

6:55

Plus. It was good stuff

6:57

on there. I think it was like four different lectures

6:59

on there. It was really good. Check

7:01

that one out on the treadmill a few days

7:04

ago. That was good stuff. All right, we got

7:06

Augmandino on the show tomorrow. We haven't had Aug

7:08

on the show for a while. And then, oh

7:11

yeah, follow me on Instagram, my

7:13

personal account at Sean Croxton, the

7:15

QOD show account at the Quote
