Standard Time that you thank you so much you don't love your little head Monica

Cleveland just published a little vlog from a fog I want you to pray that the
doctors hands are directed by God and and that their level of wisdom and
knowledge beyond their university degrees and all of their training will
come into play as they perform the procedure on me and I wanted to I want
you to like this page and two to share it with as many piece of people as
possible something came to me this morning I'd like to share with you and
the title of this conversation is what do you do
when your prayers without answer what do you do how do you deal with that have
you ever prayed for something and it did not happen
well you know I have been a 21 year cancer conquering so I said because
seven is my lucky number anybody who knows me know that I'm one of seven
children I was born February 17th 7 is my lucky number and 3 times 7 is 21 so
my prayer has been this is the year every year I would pray this is the year
that I will be free of cancer and so something happened not only did that not
happen in 2017 which I felt that it was going to happen but in addition to that
not happening and at that time when I started the prayer of the prayer by my
doctor said the oncologist said that camps had metastasized to my t1
vertebrae and six other different areas and that it had eroded 40% of my t1
vertebrae so my prayer was Lord restore my t1 vertebra and and allow me to be
free of cancer well and last week I saw start right before the end of the year
sought experiencing deep pain in my body and I said well that was in and out of
the hospital I said what's going on it's I was misdiagnosed
they thought it was SATA capade but it was not the pain from sciatica pain from
the cancer not only did it it not that God not removed the cancer from my t1
vertebra but it spread to the doctor said they'd before us a it's a number 1
number 2 number 3 vertebrae is spread to those and in addition to
at 7c now first of all I got excited number one number two number three the
cancer spread to those and to the 7c well now seven is my lucky number
it's gift four and five seven if my lucky number now what does the C stand
for commitment commitment what do you do when your prayers aren't answered
maintain your commitment of faith maintain your commitment to come to
continue to work to believe to hold the vision of what it is you want to achieve
and it's that what a lot of people do is they give up because it doesn't happen
and I had to say to myself wait a minute I wanted this to happen but come on God
you know and what's that one say whose side are you on this cancer for my t1
vertebrae hello and would you think that I would want it to be moved to my second
or third in case I wasn't exactly clear and my 7th of 7th area of my back okay
but seriously what I pray for just the opposite happened
now I think that people who are religious they give up because you know
religious people afraid of going to hell or spiritual people we've been there so
they took me down yesterday you can't see this and they they map my body and
this is this area where they mapped it with this permanent dye to get ready for
the procedure today so they go in today and I will at 2 o'clock Eastern Standard
Time now I believe in the power of collective prayer so I'm asking you that
you pray that my primary concern was coming out with my voice is that as
they will I still be able to speak did you say probably what speaking gives me
life you know so said what your throw to be sore for a few days so they want me
here and and they did something was called mapping and there are so at two
o'clock in stats and a time I go in for the procedure in this in the spinal area
where they said the cancer has metastasized and you know anytime you're
dealing with the spine you could you could be a quadriplegic you could lose
your voice you could lose your life anything could happen
but I said just in case that this might be my last day I'm not going to take it
for granted said well I'll talk to them after the the the procedure but it there
said wait a minute I haven't gotten any special notice that
I will still be here after that I'm not taking for granted I say I'm gonna take
care of this opportunity in the event that this is the last time you hear my
voice alive or if this this is the last time that I am to speak to you and
connect with you I want to speak now and so my prayer is that my two sons have a
full recovery and be able to live a normal life
my prayer is that today that I'm able to come out of this alive and have our
voice and continue to be able to work even if I'm a quadriplegic if I have my
voice I can still speak and even if I can't speak I can still write and even
if I can't write I can still see and I can still hear so there's something I
can do there's a way in which I can still be used and so my prayer is that
but I know that you with me and that whatever happens today I'm okay with
that I'm okay with that life does not owe me anything when I think about my
life born an abandoned building on a floor in Liberty City at Miami being
adopted by the incredible Mamie Brown God took me out of our biological
mother's womb and placed in the heart of my adopted mother I'm talking to you
because with two women one gave me life the other one gave me to love all that I
am and all that ever hope to be I owe to my mother but I think about the
sacrifices and the tough times that she faced raising seven children she didn't
give birth to by herself except for the help of God and some people who said
maybe what can I do to help you out with those seven kids and there were many and
to be blessed with a man who spoke and interrupted the vision that I had of
myself when I was on the wrong track in life mr. Leroy Washington and when I was
labeled educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade and put back in the
fourth grade and fell again in the eighth grade and my junior year in high
school God made it fit that I would meet this
man and he challenged me to work out a problem I said I'm not here I'm not one
of your students I'm here to see Mack office Stevens he said to what I'm
asking you to do anyhow and the kid started laughing he's Leslie that's when
brother Wesley Wesley smart he's DT what's T T's that dumped wit and I said
I am sir and looking down he said look at me don't ever say that again
someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality it was a defining
moment in my life we all have defining moments defining
moments a moment that something happened in who you were before that moment after
that moment because of what you experienced because of what was said to
you after that moment because of what you have grown through
your life was never the same again and my wife was never the same again I
became convicted in my spirit that I wanted to be to people what mr.
Washington was to me he interrupted my story I believed about myself that had
been given to me by the world and we're taught be not conformed to this world
don't be like everybody else be transformed by the renewing of your mind
what do you do last when your prayers aren't answered keep the faith and keep
on working keep the faith and keep on working anyway in spite of in spite of
here's the thing that as you look at your stuff and look at your goals the
things happen many times when they happen so bid but don't lose faith I
remember Adam Clayton Powell out of out of New York he is a congressman he was a
bad boy yet at the classic speech call keep the faith baby keep the faith and
and that's real I remember Jesse used to say if you keep on hoping you can keep
on office I'll be hopping down to the operating room today the other thing is
that it is very important that you saturate your mind with positive things
I got up this morning I was listening to myself like I was a perfect stranger
because I was a different person then and when I was speaking then two things
that I was going through was nothing compared to what I'm facing now and so I
spoke from a different place of energy I was in good health I was I had my
six-pack kid which I got a one pack covered up by six pack right now retired
leaders that come into the sticks appears of ice level so beetles about
stuff I said this used to be a six-pack they're covered up temporarily right now
can you feel the brother up in here up in here they got all these different
instruments and things connected to me and and so what things happen to you
somebody want a God where are you are you here give me a side and
I was asking for science and get that for me and I I didn't I didn't get
decided that I want instead of that instead of cancer being eliminated it's
spread and so I was talking to a friend of mine named then Grayson and I said
Grayson he called me Jacksonville he's one of my spiritual sons and I said I'm
I'm in the hospital in Cleveland and and I'm having the
procedure today you know they're going my spinal area I'm concerned about my
voice and and I want you a prayer to be that that I maintain my voice and I'll
be able to walk out of here and to be able to continue to do my work and I
said my prayer was for God to eliminate the year to 2017 because 2017 and 7 is
my lucky number 3 times 7 is 21 that's my 21st year dealing with cancer to
eliminate the the cancer and and I said instead it moved from my t1 vertebrae to
my a 2 vertebrae to 3 and then to the 7c and he said less the cancer spread so he
can get out I said come on flesh and blood did reveal that to you but my
Heavenly Father which art in heaven that y'all know sub-series I'm going to get
some kind of procedure I'm let y'all see this little gray rider you know home
it'll be playing that I I couldn't find my mascara this water that's a crazy
he's doing the Facebook so seriously as you as you look at yourself
sometimes the prayers can be answered but in a different way and and to me
this is an opportunity a defining moment it's a defining moment it that that
sometimes life will test you you know it's easy to have faith when
you get the prognosis you want from a doctor it's easy to have faith when your
bills are paid I remember when when my the home that I
purchased for my mother went into foreclosure because I didn't do a title
search when I purchased the home and I remember when we got the letter saying
that the sheriff will be coming out to set our furniture if we had not moved
out and I didn't I didn't lift a finger to move anything I was praying and I
called the the previous owner I say can you give me just three months there I
was ripped off I didn't know I was naive that would you please would you please
give me a break closed that door that door closed okay would you please give
me time so monthly payments he said no want you out any you need they went to
the sheriff and won a judgment to foreclosure and I remember praying I
remember praying and finally I said how do I tell my mother this home that is
the fulfillment of a dream that that we have to move it's going into foreclosure
and I round to 30 I went downstairs and and I kneel by the bed and I said mama
she said yes less Esther you wait she said yes she said how can I sleep I can
hear you walking back and forth upstairs I said well there's something I need to
tell you and you don't have been praying to God to give me a sign that the home
would not be foreclosed so that the sheriff's would not be coming out and I
said mama I said we're gonna have to move the house is going to into
foreclosure and and she said Leslie I said yesterday she said I know you
bought this house for the house for me just say thank you for adopting you and
your brothers and sisters but you don't have to do this I said I know mama and
you didn't have to adopt us either and so I said what they're gonna come and
I've been praying to God that somehow this would work out but we're gonna have
to move today and she said fine with me I had liked
this house anyway she said I loved it because you loved it
Leslie she said going up and down these steps it's bad on my knees and as a
result that it hurts my knees not really condition that I have but I wouldn't
tell you and so the thing is that I said okay yes ma'am
she said whip y'all right here so wants you know even if your prayers are not
answered exactly like you want them to be answered
take some wisdom for my mother made me brown you'll be all right you'll be all
right even though I might come out and and not be able to walk or talk but if I
got my life I'll be all right even if you're facing all type of adverse
circumstances financial bankruptcy divorce being laid off from a job being
challenged with a physical illness not having the money and resources that you
need right now to come through this just become convicted in your spirit you'll
be all right in spite of judge not according to
appearances for the righteous judge would call forth those things that be
not as though they were here's something else when we loaded the truck and we
driving back to Liberty City we're living in North Miami Beach where I'm
about to smoke this off of my mother and that's a very fascinating story and and
the neighbors came out looking Mamie yes here back yes
what happened to the home that Leslie bought for you he didn't do a title
search and there's a large bill that had to be paid in order him to keep the
house and he'd have the money and so we had to get out
I remember that day as if it were yesterday when the chef authorities
knocked on the door I was holding the Bible and he said us brought I said yes
is there you your house is under foreclosure you have to leave today
so I said holding the Bible and the Holy Quran I must admit I said I'm standing
on his words and he said no problem just step outside the door stand out here on
the sidewalk I look like The Creature from the Black Lagoon I know by breath
my breath ever be kicking like Bruce Lee I was always Carlo the whole gang
smoochie you becoming diverse you become
situation you know it's so so they they sent people into to remove the furniture
and insult to injury neighbors people that I thought would look out for me
it took a lot of our stuff but here's here's the part that I want you to
remember what do you do you know your prayers that aren't answered I pray to
God don't let me lose this house that I've bought for my mother who worked on
Miami Beach for wealthy families who cook for them and we eat the food left
over from the families that she cooked for she kept their children and we wore
the hammer down clothes of the children that she kept and she adopted us and she
promised our birth mother I never let them go to bed hungry there will always
be food on the table clothes on their back and always a roof over their head
and she kept that commitment and I wanted to do that for her please
God don't let this happen to me it happened and as I was unloading the
truck I remember feeling humiliated stupid and depressed and I remember my
mother coming to the back of the truck and she said bored I said yes ma'am she
said oh you're here up oh you're here I said mama I let you
down I'm so sorry this is the worst day of her life I'm so
sorry she said oh you're here not take that furniture off that truck and bring
it in the house she said we still have each other
oh your head up we still have each other she didn't have an ounce of
disappointment in me it wasn't about the house it was about me
she knew my heart I just made a mistake it's the first major purchase that made
I remember doing the negotiations that my attorney asked the guy that was 17
hours do you have any liens against the property he said no so she said well I
think we should do a title search so that's the guy so do you have any liens
against the property he said and he was good he said the only reason I'm selling
you this house it's because I admire your love for your mother no I have no
liens against it and I don't have to sell you this house I got other people
ready to buy it now I sold it to you at a low price and I had it listed on
the market so if you not willing sign the contract down then the deal is off I
looked at my attorney and I said passed in the contract I believe and she just
dropped her head she said I highly recommend you don't do this mr. brown I
said I'm gonna do it on faith and the Bible says watches well I pray and I
should have watched I should not have gone against the legal advice I should
have followed with my attorney told me and and because I I went through that
experience get her back for me please that house went into foreclosure shortly
thereafter but two things that was defining one you're gonna be alright
and that's real you might be alright take my word for you are going to be
alright and you must know that even though you
have no proof to point to that you're gonna be alright
because they'll never leave you nor forsake you and keep your head up keep
your head up and so as I get ready for this procedure today I'm keeping my head
if I'm believing that when they go in with the radiation to reduce the tumors
and to minimize the impact of the cancer that I'll be out of pain I'll be able to
walk out of here you know I'll continue to hold on to the words of Willy jolly
who said a setback it's a setup for come back and I believe today is a setup
there are speakers who don't want me to fake it everybody oh what you've a kid
you know there's some people don't was that you to Vegas because that will be
war speaking engagements of them speakers bureaus I stopped calling me
because people call them said unless father's dying
well my dying has been overrated we're all gonna go every all of us are dying
daily okay but I've been dying daily to who I
was to become Who I am now and I'm still being reborn so let me see with my
daughter get her on the phone please call oh so I could talk to her yeah on
an answering phone you leave a message me to call you and and and you want me
to stop so I can talk to you my knucklehead daughter with a pumpkin head
look like me without a beard calling me while I'm talking during the broadcast
so answering phone Monica's calling you back on her for me so this is a prime
to conversation that the things going to happen and they said we have not because
we ask not no I did ask over and over and over again for 21 years
Lord I claim to be free of cancer by your grace I'm healed and it hasn't
happened yet what do you do when your prayer is that answered keep the faith
honor your commitment therefore take unto you the whole armor of God what is
that armor patience persistence in spite of perseverance in spite of being
unstoppable in spite of being true to your values in spite of standing on
principles in spite of that's what you do don't decide to become a wimp and
back off so well I prayed and it didn't happen no you still here you're still
breathing everybody can't say that there's
something that you are supposed to do and so when you yes what is she saying
it was my daughter you know children yes Oh tell your father because he keeps it
real mother and the reason I'm doing it like this everybody seen me in my red
tie and white shirt and navy blue pants and suit
but hey I want to I want people to see me roared say they don't like me because
of my gray hair and they won't see it after the day and because I'm you Glee
and that's okay I got a face that only a mother could love
my nephew Alex Sampson junior he could hook me up and out you know that bring
out the very white in me or the Denzel in me okay but I'm the one point that
I'm making it's easy when you have money in the bank it's easy when you have your
health it's easy when your marriage is working out and your children are acting
like they have good senses and they have not been picked up by aliens and you
look at them and say this can't be my child this is something from outer space
this is not what I brought home from the hospital okay but the but I wanted to
share this time with you and if you can hear me in your heart you don't care
what I look like right now you really don't because what I'm saying
resonates with you what I'm saying has to mean this is not for everybody this
is not for everybody and so I'm not about looking good but I want it before
going down before they sedate me before I go through this procedure if I don't
get out of this procedure if I don't come out it's okay I I
I was asked the question if you if you knew that you're gonna go now and then
you were given an X chest what would you do with your life you know what I would
do if I knew was leaving today they said but we're gonna give you some more time
what would you how would you spend that time I spent that time doing work with
my family enjoying special moments of them and speaking that's what I'll do
I'll speak and talk though I told my kids when they say I'm God do not
allow them to embalm me for three days come down there to the to the morgue
and and put a microphone in my hand and if I don't grab it and set up and say
you gotta be hungry you can look around and say to each
other dad's gone now because I was born to speak I was born to help people I am
Who I am because somebody spoke into my life I am Who I am because of Mike
Williams I want you to get his book the road to your best stuff he led me to my
best stuff he's my mentor to this day Mike Williams I wish you can tell you I
did it all myself no he's a strategist extraordinaire and he saw me at WBAL
radio station in Columbus Ohio and he's a brownie you know you're more than a
disc jockey hey brownie you know why you go see dr. norman vincent peale and Tony
Robbins and and Zig Ziglar no I said why because I like the message no because
it's in you at that time I was LD Triple P let's broaden your platter plan
problem there were not before me there will be none after me therefore that
makes me the one and only young and single and loved to make oh hey that
guy's gone BAM I was bad when I did it homie was bad let the record show and
between records this guy talked to me that the best of the best of third thing
I want to talk to you about the power of your willingness to listen to a powerful
positive word from someone who can see in you that which you cannot see in
yourself someone that has trained eye and accomplishment and I loved him
because I was one of his groupies I admired the way he spoke admire how he
held himself and most importantly he was the message that he brought and I
admired that he's a person of integrity Mike Williams is the only father that
I've ever known other than my mother because father's date came I gave me
Brown a Father's Day cuz she's my mother and my father and only two years
difference between Mike Williams and I he's still in Columbus but he saw this
last Brown because I because I was open to listen to him and to be coachable you
can't read the label when you're locked in the box and he saw this less rot he
said I see things and I see you doing more
than just editorials on wvk oh I see you doing more than just spinning records in
the morning that you can impact people's lives around the world he and a former
state senator ray Miller who took my place in the Ohio legislature these
people having people in your life who can see another you that you can't see
right now and it took him 14 years I'm embarrassed to say to convince me
because I didn't think that this last bond existed I didn't think I can
compete with people with PhDs and MBAs I didn't think that I could be Who I am
now I live the life that I've lived changing millions of people's lives
around the world and speaking over 51 different countries I did not think that
someone would pay me for anything there are things that you can do I has not
seen ear has not heard doors enter the heart of mankind what God has in store
for you so as I get ready for them to come and wheel me down for this
procedure and then sedate me and and perform this procedure I see your
prayers the two o'clock Eastern Time that that God gives them the wisdom and
the accuracy to do what they need to do above and beyond what they've been
trained in the universities and doctoral programs that come out with my voice and
my ability to continue to speak in to serve I will give you a call as soon as
the anesthesia wears off I will I'd like for you to spread this out I want you to
watch this and and share it with as many people I think people need to know what
do you do when your prayers are not answered one you keep the faith to you
keep on working what do you do when your prayers are not answered you hold the
stand of perseverance of determination of honoring your commitment to your
commitment that you hold the that you're going to be alright keep
your head up yes even if you going through
foreclosure as my mother said keep your head up even if you laid off from your
job keep your head up even if your marriage breaks up keep your head up
even if your children disappoint you and you said this is not who I brought into
this world keep your head up even when it seems overwhelming the adverse
circumstances that you're in and you say God you know I know you know how much I
can bear but as mother Teresa said I wish you didn't have so much confidence
in me keep your head that's my last message on the planet if this is my last
day let the word go out that les Ron said keep your head up keep your
commitment to your commitment and don't touch him for three days proper
