- 0:10Speaker 2: Listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now, one
- 0:13Speaker 2: and only Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a radio show.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Do you understand that I'm telling you? God been big
- 0:21Speaker 2: in my life. I'm not gonna kid you. I'm telling you,
- 0:24Speaker 2: and He'll do the same thing for you.
- 0:27Speaker 1: God.
- 0:27Speaker 2: God is a gentleman, you know. I want to I
- 0:30Speaker 2: want to point that out to you. God is an
- 0:32Speaker 2: absolute gentleman. He will not come in unless he's invited.
- 0:40Speaker 2: He don't just barge into your life. He gives us
- 0:44Speaker 2: the power of choice. You know, if you say you
- 0:47Speaker 2: got it, I don't need you.
- 0:49Speaker 1: He lets you have it. If you say I need you,
- 0:52Speaker 1: come see about me. He right there. It's just a
- 0:56Speaker 1: real simple thing, man.
- 0:58Speaker 2: So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself
- 1:02Speaker 2: into something, and please know I have.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I I was stuck.
- 1:10Speaker 2: I thought a couple of times, well might not make
- 1:15Speaker 2: it past this one.
- 1:17Speaker 1: But then if I don't make it past it, what's
- 1:19Speaker 1: gonna happen?
- 1:21Speaker 2: And then I held on to this little thing that
- 1:23Speaker 2: my mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes
- 1:27Speaker 2: some when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope,
- 1:31Speaker 2: she said, just hope It'll be all right, you know.
- 1:34Speaker 2: And what I've learned in my life is that hope
- 1:37Speaker 2: is the beginning of faith. Hope is just is there
- 1:42Speaker 2: possibility out there for me? I show hope, something happened.
- 1:49Speaker 2: See hope. Hope is okay, man, Because like I say,
- 1:54Speaker 2: for me, the way I've lived my life, hope was
- 1:57Speaker 2: the beginning of faith. It was just the idea. It's
- 2:01Speaker 2: just the thought that something could change for me, that
- 2:04Speaker 2: something could be a little bit different from me, that maybe, man,
- 2:08Speaker 2: just maybe for some reason, I could be saved, I
- 2:13Speaker 2: could be rescued, things could turn around, it could hit
- 2:17Speaker 2: any other direction. Maybe I could quit messing up. Maybe
- 2:21Speaker 2: somebody will forgive me, Maybe somebody will just say all right.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I don't know, but I can't count the times I've
- 2:28Speaker 2: been in that position. But then once I hope a
- 2:31Speaker 2: little bit, and then I remember also my mother, because
- 2:34Speaker 2: she was a Sunday school teacher, she taught me the
- 2:37Speaker 2: most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life. Nothing
- 2:41Speaker 2: has been greater in my life than my faith. She
- 2:43Speaker 2: taught me to pray. Mama used to say, when it
- 2:46Speaker 2: get real, dog for your son, prayer changes things.
- 2:50Speaker 1: She say when you seem.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Like you lost and you can't find your way, stop
- 2:55Speaker 2: and pray, she said, because prayer change is things. You know,
- 3:00Speaker 2: when you get a point in your life when you've
- 3:01Speaker 2: done all you can do and you can't do no
- 3:03Speaker 2: more and you just don't know what to do next,
- 3:06Speaker 2: she says, stop son pray and combine that prayer with
- 3:12Speaker 2: that hope that you got, she said, because that hope
- 3:15Speaker 2: is to beginning of faith, she said. If you pray
- 3:18Speaker 2: just hoping, she's saying, to God come through for you.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That'll give you confidence that he can do it again.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And then after a while, you quit hoping, she's saying,
- 3:28Speaker 2: you start believing, she said, And that's when you're on
- 3:31Speaker 2: to something if you can turn that hope into belief,
- 3:35Speaker 2: that hope into faith, the ability to believe in something
- 3:40Speaker 2: that you can't see. But the key though the faith
- 3:43Speaker 2: is you're believing in something that you can't see. See
- 3:48Speaker 2: hoping a little bit different from me now, I'm pretty sure,
- 3:50Speaker 2: like I say, oftentimes to tell a lot of people
- 3:52Speaker 2: who can explain this thing a lot better than I
- 3:55Speaker 2: can to you. But just from my side of it,
- 3:58Speaker 2: being as real as I can be, a be rich
- 4:00Speaker 2: you see.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Hope helps.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Man, If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope,
- 4:05Speaker 2: and then if you pray with some hope and God
- 4:08Speaker 2: answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence,
- 4:13Speaker 2: and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now the
- 4:17Speaker 2: ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something
- 4:21Speaker 2: that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to
- 4:28Speaker 2: my entire existence, even when I didn't have any It
- 4:33Speaker 2: was faith, as I look back on it, that has
- 4:37Speaker 2: gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See,
- 4:42Speaker 2: you will only get to where you're going in your
- 4:45Speaker 2: life based on it your faith.
- 4:49Speaker 1: See.
- 4:49Speaker 2: A lot of people get the word faith confused, like
- 4:52Speaker 2: what's your faith? And then they start going down this
- 4:55Speaker 2: whole list of all these different religions out here. But
- 4:58Speaker 2: really an essence, man, when I talk to people about faith,
- 5:01Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about your your belief. How much
- 5:07Speaker 2: do you believe in the unseen? How much do you
- 5:11Speaker 2: believe in the things you can't see? How much do
- 5:14Speaker 2: you believe in the impossible? How much do you believe see?
- 5:20Speaker 2: Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Faith is the core of all that is happening to
- 5:31Speaker 2: me today. It is the faith that I have in
- 5:34Speaker 2: my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes,
- 5:41Speaker 2: if I stay on the right course and believe a
- 5:44Speaker 2: certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.
- 5:50Speaker 2: They just come. And it comes in a lot of
- 5:54Speaker 2: little ways too. I've started to notice, see, it ain't
- 5:57Speaker 2: just a lot of people think blessings is money. Nah, man,
- 6:00Speaker 2: that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
- 6:04Speaker 2: lands safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and
- 6:09Speaker 2: I get up in the sky and it don't be
- 6:11Speaker 2: no bad weather. You know this or this is favor.
- 6:16Speaker 2: These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
- 6:19Speaker 2: call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you know. Somebody say, hey, man, I don't know, but
- 6:28Speaker 2: I sent this to you. I thought you might be
- 6:30Speaker 2: interested in it. Somebody will send me a scripture, or
- 6:33Speaker 2: somebody will send me something that's favor, and it always
- 6:38Speaker 2: comes at a time when I need it the most.
- 6:41Speaker 2: That's favor that's pouring out blessings.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Now.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I'm also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man,
- 6:53Speaker 2: I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've
- 6:58Speaker 2: been blessed with the to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See,
- 7:04Speaker 2: blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie
- 7:08Speaker 2: in to God, once you tie in and you start
- 7:13Speaker 2: doing the best you can do, and you start asking
- 7:16Speaker 2: for Him to make you a better person, to help
- 7:19Speaker 2: shape and mold you into the kind of man or
- 7:22Speaker 2: person that he wants you to be. You be amazed
- 7:26Speaker 2: what God can do with you. Man, if you just
- 7:28Speaker 2: invite me in and allow him to be a part
- 7:31Speaker 2: of your life. I mean, what you got to lose
- 7:33Speaker 2: out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell
- 7:36Speaker 2: this morning, why would you not change? You have a
- 7:40Speaker 2: chance to turn your life around with a relationship with God.
- 7:43Speaker 2: What you're waiting on? Are you gonna just keep doing
- 7:45Speaker 2: it like that?
- 7:46Speaker 1: Huh? Really? Come on, man, why would you do that
- 7:50Speaker 1: to yourself?
- 7:51Speaker 2: Why would you not allow God to be a part
- 7:53Speaker 2: of your life so you can get the way he
- 7:56Speaker 2: wants you to be. God got some big plans for you.
- 7:58Speaker 2: If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up.
