Speaker 1 0:30
Hey, welcome back to the stand outdoors, the show where the faith and the great outdoors come together. I'm Dave Baker along with the founder of the stand outdoors, Mike Hayes, and today we're talking about bass fishing, Florida boy tips, yeah, because you are a Florida boy and you have some tips about bass fishing, right?
Speaker 2 0:48
Yeah, and, and, yeah. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, and did a lot of fishing down there, and not much hunting. And I didn't get into hunting until I moved up here when I was 22 and and my father in law was a avid hunter, yeah, but, and I was ready to learn all kinds of stuff from him, but when it came to fishing, I became the mentor. You were the man and, and it was funny, he had a tough time with that. You know, I remember one time we were on a lake, and I was catching one bass after another, and he hadn't caught a stinking bass, and he's using this, I don't know what he was using, some kind of spin or that he was wearing, and I was using a rap all, I think it was, you know, one we're going to talk about today, and I'm catching them almost every cast. And I said, Dad, I have, I have some more, you know, if you want to use one, no, I'm good. I'm good. And we fished for several hours, and he would not take one of my lures. Finally goes, You know what? I really need to get back. We're gonna have to go back. But then he learned maybe this Florida boy, you know, bass fishing is huge in Florida. You can imagine two growing seasons. I mean, I used to joke with dad about how one that he had mounted. You know that we use it for bait in Florida. But I remember the first bass I caught in Florida. It was a 10 pounder, the first bass I ever caught. Wow. I was with a buddy of mine that actually led me to Christ. And we were I visited him at his house after we had already left college and all and and the first cast, we caught this huge bass, and we were so dirt poor. We were right out of college, right? We had to eat the thing. I couldn't even mount it, you know, but, and then I we got all these great pictures. And Wayne was taking the pictures, my buddy, Wayne Henderson, and he ended up losing all the pictures, except for one, and you won't believe which it was, his mouth. It was so huge, and the cameras facing the mouth. In other words, he could see how long it was. You can't see anything. You can see his.
Unknown Speaker 3:05
Can't tell the fish. The only one that
Speaker 2 3:07
he had, it was crazy, you know, back then, we had to get them developed and all that kind of, you know, why is?
Speaker 1 3:12
Why is Florida great bass fishing? I know why.
Speaker 2 3:16
But yeah, they have two growing seasons because the weather's warm like up here. They only have one, lots
Unknown Speaker 3:21
of, lots of ponds and lakes.
Speaker 2 3:22
Yep, oh, there's lakes. There's water everywhere, yeah, you know, especially down there, you know, where I was in, that Tampa Bay area, Land O Lakes. They call that Land O Lakes for a reason, you know, because there's lakes everywhere. You drive a block, there's another one, you know, it's like, and they're just loaded with with huge bass. It's crazy and but coming up here made a little more challenging. But, you know, I wanted to go over basically, now, I'm a simple bass fisherman. I'm not these guys that, you know, they, they, they get in these tournaments and they use these, you know, these, these rod and reels that you could pull a tarpon in with, you know, and I've done a little bit of tarpon fishing, but those are big out big, you know, rod and reels, but, but, but I use a spinning outfit, I think it's and you can get really good with it, too. And I don't like to use heavy line, like those bait casting reels. You need those for heavy line, but that's when you're in a tournament. You got to horse them in. Man, get them off. Get it back out there. You know that to me is I don't enjoy that. You know, I'd enjoy winning the purses, though, but, but no, I never got into that. I wanted it to be a challenge. You know, I'm an archer too. I guess that's why archery attracted me. I use the lightest weight line, anywhere from six pounds, you know, to 10 pounds at the most that I would have on. And I use the ultra light stuff, you know, real light rod and reel, because it's a challenge to bring in those big you got to set your bail right. You got to make sure that, you know, he's not going to. Hop that line, and you got to play with them a little while. That's what I love about bass fishing, because they're pound for pound. They're one of the best fighting fish in the water and and so yeah, I'm, I'm talking about fishing with spinning outfits, with six to 10 pound tests that that will really you got to be a finesse you got to finesse them in. If you get a big one on, you got to finesse them in. So it's just more exciting to me. So what one of my go to baits is the Gary Yamamoto five inch Cinco. And again, it's a Gary Yamamoto five inch Cinco. Usually a pumpkin green. They have different pumpkin colors. No idea what
Unknown Speaker 5:49
you just said. Well, it sounds good, yeah.
Speaker 2 5:51
Getting me hungry is almost lunchtime here, but, but, but they're just, they're a heavy worm. And I don't always is a worm you're talking this is
Speaker 1 6:01
a fake worm, okay? Cuz I don't know if anybody knows. I mean, fishermen know, you gotta
Speaker 2 6:04
give me a fisherman time. I'm a slow talker. I'm from the south. Come on. And Dave's this radio host. He's got the radio, you know, he's got the radio voices. But anyway, yeah, it's a worm, but it's very heavy. It's got good weight on it. And some people put, you know, a bullet weight on the front of it. I don't like to do that, anything that's going to freak that bass out. I don't like now, some people say it gets it down quicker, and that's true. You could try different things, but usually I will. I won't even use a swivel snap, you know. I tie it right to the hook. And the hook I like to use is not a big, you know, bowed, you know, hook. You know that, you know the circle hooks. I like to use a straight, long shank. So you can do a Texas rig on it and and make it weedless.
Speaker 1 6:54
Okay, so I don't know what you're talking about. What's a Texas rig? Well, I don't
Speaker 2 6:58
know why they call it a Texas rig. But basically it makes it weedless. That what you do is you start at the very top of the head of the worm, put it right through the middle angle it out, you know, pretty quickly within the next, like, quarter of an inch angle it out. Twist the hook around, and then bring it all the way down, you know, to the top of the hook. You know, the worms all the way to the top of the hook, where the little loop is for your line, and then you stick it back through the body, and then have that tip of that hook, the sharp point, just sitting on top of his body, going into his body again, down lower. But you got to try to keep the worm as straight as possible when
Speaker 1 7:41
you're done, okay, I remember my dad doing that now that now you say it, it makes sense, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 7:45
And you want to keep the worm as straight as you can, but you don't want it all Ben up. The straighter the worm, the more it will do its thing. Okay, that it's made to do. Alrighty. All right. Now, what do you do with it? All right, what do you what you do is you cast it out. You know, bass, they're going to hang out, you know, by the edges of the shore, for the most part, under lily pads, under, you know, any type of structure, docks, boats. You know, fallen trees. This is where the little minnows are, and all the little you know, worms and different things like that. Sometimes, with the weedless, you know, worm, I'll throw it actually on the shore, I'll just cast it right onto the shore and just slowly drop, bring it into the water. You know, with the weedless, you can do that. I do that with the lily pads, like I'll throw it into a bunch of lily pads, and it'll land on top of the lily pads, and then I'll just slowly tug it off the lily pads, let it just drop in the water and sink. And remember, they have some weight to them. Now, how do you retrieve it? The best retrieve, you know, with these five inch Senkos is to just let them fall right down to the bottom. And the key is to watch your line. You don't, you know, you watch your line. You let it fall all the way down to the bottom. And that's usually when it will be hit, when it's falling. But what you do is you when it when it reaches the bottom, all you do is just lift up on it, just a little bit little tug, lift this, lift it off the bottom, and then just let it fall down again. Now, the whole time, you're bringing in a little bit of slack, but you're watching your line, and if it lifts up, that means something's taking it. Now, what? What will a bass will do? He'll usually grab that worm real quick, and then he'll run with it real quick. But then when it slows down, he'll he's put he's swallowing that thing. So you don't want to set the hook right away. You want to let him run with it, you know, a few seconds, and then get that any slack out of the line, and then pull it right
Speaker 1 9:50
over your head. I have a tendency to set the hook too quickly, yeah, because I feel like I got action, and I don't want him to get away. And a lot of times, the
Speaker 2 9:59
hooks not even close. Goes to them with that first grab of it. Now, with a lot of times, you know, with the bath, they got big mouths. They'll take the whole thing in. But sometimes they don't, especially if they're a little smaller one, you know, and you get, you get the you want to have some action with the small ones too, that it may be or a pound, or whatever, so. But then, yeah, another thing you can do is, if that retrieve isn't working, you can give it like two or three little jerks, because those worms, they're really fascinating how they when you jut them, you know, two three times, they will whip that tail, and they look just like a minnow. Believe it or not, they really look like a minnow coming through the water, but, but it's wound. It's always like a wounded minnow, and then they drop, you know? And I don't know if they think it's a minnow or worm, but they have some neat action. This Yamamoto worms there. They have great, great action to them. Now, when do you use them? The cincos You can use anytime. I think they're my go to bait. I'll use that before I use anything. Because if they're down low, that's where they're going to get them. If they're up high, they're hitting top water for some reason, you know, maybe it's a little bit later, they'll see it and they'll hit it there too. So they can be used anytime, because usually bass will, you know, in when it's hot, or whatever, they'll be down into the holes and lower parts water, maybe. And a lot of times they'll sit like right where it gets deep. They'll sit back there where it's deeper because it's a little cooler. But then they just keep their eye open for something near the shore, and they'll shoot in and grab it and shoot back out to the right where it starts to drop off and get deep. They'll hang in there. So a lot of times you can throw it right in there too. And, and when they're lower, you know, this worm works, works beautiful. The next lure that I want to talk about, I used to use this all the time, until the, you know, I moved up here, I started using the Cinco more. But this is called a Rapala. Or you can say Rapala. People say different names for this company that makes these lures. And this guy basically, you know, whittled his first one. And, you know, through he saw he was whittling or something, and he saw the the fish were biting the little pieces of wood that were thrown into the water. And he started making lures. It's amazing story, but the size that I like to use is called a 7g All right. And this is like a fake it looks like a minnow. And the G stands for gold. I like the gold. They have silver. They have like a perch looking one you can use. I've had more, far more success with the gold, little bit with the silver, but mostly the gold. I don't know what it is about the gold. I think maybe the darker the water you go with, the darker colors, you know, that's usually Ben. Has any of your
Unknown Speaker 12:48
grandkids lost any of your favorite lures yet?
Speaker 2 12:51
Oh, it's amazing. Especially we see these lures aren't weedless. These have treble hook, two treble hooks hanging
Unknown Speaker 12:58
down from they get hooked up on everything.
Speaker 2 13:00
You got to really know how to I don't start my grandkids out with a rap or a, you know, floater. No way. These are floaters, by the way, seven, the seven represent the seven centimeters, which is about two and three quarters of an inch long. That's so 7g and and they're floaters. And they do have sinkers too, but this floater has a spoon right in front of it, a little spoon. So the way to retrieve this first of all, when you throw it, usually you'll get a hit on that soon as it hits the water. Because what happened it hit the water and you'll see the ripples, and don't even move it. Just let it sit there on top of the water and let the ripples expand. And when you don't see ripples anymore, give it just a quick little tug, boop, boop, like maybe two, two little tugs, and then leave it alone. Let the ripples go out and let them disappear. And then do it again. Boom, boom. That's, you're barely moving it a couple inches or something. And what it's simulating is a wounded minnow that's flipping every now and then. He's just kind of trying to kick, but he's he's dying, and they know that's easy pickings, and they'll come up there and it and the thing I love about top water lures that you don't get with the worms. You see them hit that Ben, the water flies I see in slow motion in my mind,
Unknown Speaker 14:29
joy in your eyes when you're telling me this.
Speaker 2 14:31
Oh, it's so exciting, man. Sometimes they'll come up and they'll knock the thing away from them. It's so funny. I've seen them do it they but there's just so much action, you know. And I love
Speaker 1 14:40
that you can tell Mike's a fisherman, because if you were here in the studio, you can see the glow in his eye. He's ready to go right now.
Speaker 2 14:48
Man, yes, indeed. Give me Give me your rod. Let me go. You know, it was so funny. People were telling me, and we just bought a Pon tune, you know, a couple of years ago. And if. The grandkids, mainly, and all but, but, and we keep it in a slip and knock a mixing, you know, State Park, and people were telling, oh, yeah, there's, that's no fishing. There's no fish in nakamixin or something like that. They're giving me, there's no fish in there. You know, I've already caught so many big bass. I can't believe it. I mean, first time I went out, I caught a five pound bass out of the out of there on my first cast with, with the okay
Speaker 1 15:23
Note to self. When you want to go bass, fish and knock the mix and go with Mike A's,
Unknown Speaker 15:27
it'll take you. It's the weirdest
Unknown Speaker 15:28
thing you can pay him to go.
Speaker 2 15:31
I'm doing the guiding, sir. I'm doing it with my grandkids. I know that, but, but, yeah, the rappala. You know, repala, whatever you want, however you want to say it, 7g is a great lure. It's mainly used, you know, it's a top water lure. So they got to be hitting top water. If they're down below, because it's real cold or too hot, or whatever the case might be, then it doesn't work out too well. And usually the best, like, you know, usually it's not good to use it when is before dark. I mean, like, you do use it about an hour to two before dark. Anytime before that, they're so low they're not going to pick it up. So you got, you got to watch that. And they usually feed right in the evening. Most bats will feed right before dark, because that's when the bugs are coming in. That's when the little minnows feed on the bugs. And, you know, it's one after another. It's, you know, they it's the chain of feeding, you know, yeah, but they'll come out and they'll feed on those minnows on the top of the water. So that's when it's really effective. I remember one time I was taking my my kids out, my girls, you had three daughters, and I took them up to the mountains and and, and they had their boyfriends with them, right? And I bought all these rapalas, you know. And I said, You guys, this is what you want to do. It's on this lake. And it was a beautiful lake, and they had a little little dock went out about 10 feet or something, you know. And I said, here's what you want to do with this lure. And so I threw it out, you know. I said, you want to keep it close to the shore as you can, you know, without, you know, this is not a weedless so you can't get it hook on it. So you throw it out there and let it sit, let the ripples disappear, then give it a tug, and all of a sudden, this big old bath. And then you reel it in like this. You know, they're going, That's awesome, man, I couldn't have been more picture perfect. And I said, that's
Unknown Speaker 17:23
how you do it, and that's how you do it.
Speaker 2 17:25
And there's also another way of caught when, when the bass don't seem to be be hitting on that top water yet maybe a little early, you can actually retrieve this. And it says it has that spoon underneath it, you know, right in the front, it will dive, you know, as you're reeling it in. And I've actually thrown it way out, and just kind of, it's not real heavy. And I, again, I don't like to use weight on them. I don't like to use swivel snaps. I tie everything right to the lure, because all those things look weird to a fish. I think it just distracts them. They think, what's going on? What is that sticking out of his mouth or whatever? You know, it just scares them, I think so. And they're not that heavy because they're floaters, so you can't really, you got to have a nice spinning outfit that can really get it out there, like a bait casting would never, you'd never be able to get them out there very far. There's not enough weight. So you get a nice spinning outfit with light line. You want to have light line, you know, six, eight pounds, the most. Throw it out there and get it as far as you can, and then just start reeling it, because it'll float. Just start reeling it steady. Don't even stop. But, but really kind of a slow steady, it gets it down maybe a foot or so underwater and and I've had some nice hits, you know, from just bringing it in
Speaker 1 18:41
like that. I think if I'm gonna go bass fishing, I'm taking Mike with me, maybe he'll maybe he won't charge me. Oh no,
Speaker 2 18:48
I I just love getting out there the and bass fishing is so much fun. I really enjoy it. Okay, the next thing or frogs. You know, if you see a lot of frogs around, you know your your Shoreline, and you know you're walking, you hear them jumping in. You think it's bass jumping. No, that's a frogs jumping in the water and and that's a good thing, though, because they got some great frog Lords out there. And you can, I always like to get the weedless for the frogs kind of have the hook that circled around and come up on top of their back. You can buy them that way. They're already done. You have to hook them or anything. And there's all different types of frog lures, you know. And the bigger the frog, the bigger the bass. But, you know, if you want to have fun, don't get it too big. And and I, again, I will throw these right onto the shore, you know, and then just pop them off, yeah, or on a lily pad, you know. And then it's just, basically, you want it to look like a frog, just kind of moving in the water, just give it little jerks every now and then, you know. And I don't use frogs too much, but they work pretty well when you see a lot of frogs. The last one I want to talk about, it's one that. A lot of fun, and I have a funny story with it, but it's called the jitterbug. Okay, you may have heard of jitter bugs. These are kind of a crank bait, but they're made for on top of the water. There they float. You know, there's crank bait. I don't use too many crank baits. I caught one of the biggest, believe it or not, fishing for for bass. I caught one of the biggest trout. I got it mounted. I caught her on a crank bait. Believe, what's crank bait? I don't know what that means. A crank bait is one that will it has some weight to it, and it has a big spoon in the front and, or it can have a spinner on the back. It can, but this didn't have anything. It looked like a crawdad. But you just kind of reel it, and it goes down low and bounces off of the bottom and and you just keep reeling it, and it's just, you just crank it, you know? It's all you do with it. Yeah, I like a little more. I love the top water lures more than anything, really, because you can finesse them. You can try to get them right in the right more challenging, yeah. But the crank baits are very popular. I just don't use them a whole lot. But this one is a crank bait on top of the water, and it what it looks like is probably a big old fry. I'm not sure what it looks like, tell you the truth, but it's got almost like a double spoon in the front, big old black body. I like the black ones. You can get them different colors, but I like the black one. But basically you just, you don't pull them real fast. You pull them real slow, but you want to pull them fast enough where it causes them to wobble, they'll just they look like a mouse. That's what it is. They look like a mouse going through the water, and they'll just kind of wobble like this and back and forth, back. And doesn't take too much pull to get them to do that. But the neat thing is, the best time to use these is at night, because the bass can't see that good either. But you're making all this racket on the top of the water, and they come up and think it's food. It is so cool to hear them hit these jitter bugs at night, because you can't even see it hardly, you know. And all of a sudden you hear this big splash setting the hook. And you set the hook right away. It's got these big trouble hooks on it, you know. But one one time up at, you know, we used to camp upstate Pennsylvania, and they had this beautiful lake, and people would be out there all day with paddle boats and, you know, row boats and all this kind of stuff, you know, you want to get allowed to use a motor. And there was so much activity out there, you couldn't really catch anything until after dark, but you weren't allowed to fish after dark. That was the problem. I looked at my buddy, my brother in law, and I said, You know what? I got to try it. I know that there are some huge bass in this pond. It's a muddy bottom. It's definitely they tried to turn it into a trout pond, but it's a muddy bottom. And I was even, believe it not, I was I was stocking it with some bass from my dad's pond where he was I'd bring them over and throw them in the water. But I told my my brother in law, I said, Listen, I got to go. There was one end of the of the lake where there was no campers, I said, Let's go down. They would drive all the way around, and we'll just walk up there in the dark. You know, nobody's there. You know, there's no and I got to try this Jitterbug, see what happens. So I throw it out there, and we can't, it's pitch black. It's like no moon, nothing. And you can just hear, it sounds like that coming through the water, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2 23:30
I mean, this big old splash, man. It seemed like, you know, some big old Moby Dick got it or something, but I set that hook, I'm bringing it in, and it was one of the biggest bass ever. It must have been a five pound bass caught up here, and I bring and it made so much noise bringing that thing in, I just threw it back as get out of here. Man, we're gonna get caught because you're not allowed to fish at night. But I knew there was big bass in there and we run away. But yeah, that jitter bug right after dark, right before dark. But you know, right in there it's, it's a lot of fun to use. And, you know, you want, you have to throw a lot of cash, usually, but because they'll only attract the big one, you know, and but what a blast it is when those bats get on, man, you got the fight of your life.
Speaker 1 24:22
You we would love to hear from you. We'd love to hear your stories. So please send us a note or question by going to our home page at the standout doors.com and hit the Contact tab. Also, we'd love to pray for you too. Leave your prayer request by hitting the Contact tab, or, do you know Jesus tab?
Speaker 2 24:44
Yeah. Also, check out our targeting the truth Bible studies. We have these Bible studies that include hunting videos. I mean, think about it, when was the last time you went to a Bible study and got to watch a hunting video? Well, that's what targeting the truth. Bible studies include you watch a video, then I share the three to five minute spiritual message at the end. But then you go into the five discussion questions. You have Leaders Guide. You have everything you need. You're so good right there to have a men's group. You know, you can download it, and guess what? Guys, it's all free. It's right there for you. Anybody in the stinking world that has a computer can can download this for free, and then we, you know, we want to keep it that way, because we want to reach as many people and the outdoor community as we can.
Unknown Speaker 25:36
And it's all found at the stand outdoors.com,
Speaker 2 25:39
check it out, all right, so talking about these lures and how we're trying to attract these fish to our lures, and it made me think about the Christian life, and how do we make the Christian life, or Jesus attractive? And And the Bible talks a lot about that. If you look in Matthew Matthew five, verse 14, Jesus was actually speaking here, and he says, You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. You know, we should always be conscious of our walk with the Lord and and you know, if we're a big hypocrite, we're not going to, you know, I know Satan does a lot of things to try to mess us up. And one is, we know how to be saved. We know the gospel and and if, if we're going to share it with people, and he and his first thing he'll do is try to make you not share it. And you can, you know Satan is just a tough he knows that that gospel is the difference between life and death, right, eternal life, and so he's going to try to shut your mouth so nobody hears it from you. If he can't do that, he's going to try to mess up your life with sin so that even if you are sharing Christ, nobody's going to believe you, because you're a big hypocrite. A big hypocrite. And that's basically what the Lord's talking about. Live a life that is a that is attractive, that shows that glorifies God. Let your light shine. Let people see Christ in you. You should be so full of Christ that he's overflowing out of you. And the best,
Speaker 1 27:39
the best honey, attractant you can have as a believer. And Jesus said this right before he went to the cross, and He told His disciples, the best honey. He didn't use the words honey, but he said, the way to bring people to know me is to love one another. Yeah, that's the key.
Speaker 2 27:55
That's it. And we got some verses that say that in well, look at First Peter 212, Peter says, Live such good lives among the pagans, that means unbelievers, that though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Philippians, 214 do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation, then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. You know, I remember this one guy that I work with, and he'd been working, we've been working together for 10 years, and he we talked a lot about Jesus, and he considered himself as an agnostic. He said, I just don't know, you know. And, and I would always, you know, we'd have these good talks. I mean, really good. He was really asking questions, and I tried to give him answer. I didn't have it. I'd go look it up, you know, bring it back to him. And him and and after 10 years, all of a sudden, we're working in somebody's house, in the garage, and, you know, he brings up something. And I told him, Well, whenever you're ready, you know, I'm here for you to help you pray the prayer of faith, or whatever he says, I'm ready. I said, really? Because I thought he was kidding me tell you the truth. And he goes, No, I'm ready. And I said, I said, Well, why are you saying that? Why are you ready now? And he said, Well, you know, Mike, he says, I've just watched your life, and you and a lot of times we work, we do these jobs for Christians, you know, because my friends, a lot of my friends, are Christians. And he said, Mike, I see such a difference. You know, there is such a peace that you guys have, that I see, and that was that light shining, right? And he. Said, and that's why I know it's got to be true, you know? And it was so powerful man. I was in tears. It was terrible. I mean, I look like a little sissy, but I loved it and and he prayed to receive Christ, and he's growing and he's doing good. We're praying for his wife right now, so hopefully that'll work out. But yeah, we got to let our light shine, and there's got to be a difference. You know, they don't see a difference, then, you know, why even? Why even talk about it? Let's look at Proverbs, three verses, three and four. This is what you were talking about, Dave. And listen, chime in here, man, because I know you got a lot of wisdom on this stuff. It says in Proverbs, three, three and four, Let love and faithfulness never leave, never leave you. Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. I'm going to read that again. Listen to this. Let love and faithfulness never leave you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart, then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Isn't that powerful. It's so great. You know you could be, if you're a Christian out there, you could be the best Christian somebody knows, and you are his ambassador, whether you like it or not, because you bear his name, you're a Christian and and we need to think about these things. But the only way we can live this life that we just read about here with all these verses, these this life, you know that that is living your good deeds, to give and get these good deeds. That's why He gave us the Spirit, because He knew we needed it. And so trust him. He will give you the power. He gave you the Spirit to live in you, to give you power, to show you truth and and so that you could live this life. And so don't think you have to do it alone. He's there with you to guide you and direct you and give you the ability to say no to sin and yes to God, and you will see the miracle happen as you live by faith and follow after him.
