- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on you. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning
- 0:05Speaker 1: everybody you're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.
- 0:10Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harley got a radio show. I
- 0:13Speaker 1: was talking with my wife and she said something her
- 0:16Speaker 1: father always used to tell her, just because you can
- 0:19Speaker 1: do something don't mean you should do it. I can't
- 0:22Speaker 1: tell you how many times I've had to learn that
- 0:24Speaker 1: in my life. You know, just because you can do
- 0:27Speaker 1: something does not necessarily mean you should do it. I
- 0:32Speaker 1: could tell people off oftentimes, but it don't mean I
- 0:36Speaker 1: should do it. I could go here and set the
- 0:39Speaker 1: record straight a lot of times, but it don't mean
- 0:42Speaker 1: I should do it. Well, I've learned a lot in
- 0:45Speaker 1: that lesson folks, and because I have a relationship with
- 0:51Speaker 1: my creator, what it's done is it's allowed me to
- 0:56Speaker 1: learn even more how to stay still on a lot
- 0:59Speaker 1: of issues that's troubling me. I've learned it the hard way.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I do want you to understand that that sometimes it's
- 1:05Speaker 1: better to be still. Sometimes it's better to just let
- 1:08Speaker 1: God handle the situation. Now. I know it's hard to
- 1:11Speaker 1: say because we think as people, but if I do this,
- 1:15Speaker 1: I would feel better. If I do this now, they'll
- 1:19Speaker 1: feel how I feel. See, but that's not always the
- 1:23Speaker 1: best way though, I found in my life. Sometimes you
- 1:26Speaker 1: gotta like old people used to say, you gotta let
- 1:29Speaker 1: go and let God. I'm gonna tell you something, man,
- 1:31Speaker 1: I learned a lot from my mother being a Sunday
- 1:33Speaker 1: school teacher. But you know, at the same time, when
- 1:35Speaker 1: she was when I was young, I thought she was
- 1:37Speaker 1: just an old person just talking to me. I didn't
- 1:40Speaker 1: get it. You know how your parents used to talk
- 1:42Speaker 1: to you and you didn't get it, and they used
- 1:44Speaker 1: to always say, well, wait till you have your own kids,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you'll get it then, And sure enough you got it. Then. Well,
- 1:49Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I'm no different you know. I
- 1:51Speaker 1: don't have no different life than you. You. I don't
- 1:53Speaker 1: have no different upbringing in you. I don't have no
- 1:55Speaker 1: different ways that I can live and you can't. You know.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I got to live by it same laws of the
- 2:01Speaker 1: land that you gotta live by. I gotta obey the
- 2:03Speaker 1: principles of success. If I want to be successful, I
- 2:05Speaker 1: gotta bam. And you know, if I want to go
- 2:07Speaker 1: to heaven, I gotta do what God tell me to
- 2:09Speaker 1: do as many times as I can. Now, you ain't
- 2:12Speaker 1: gonna get it all right. But he understand that and
- 2:15Speaker 1: I just get on with the best I can. But
- 2:17Speaker 1: so many times, man, we get stuck right there, man,
- 2:22Speaker 1: worrying about you know, how it's gonna come across and
- 2:25Speaker 1: what you know, you know, kind of going around here
- 2:28Speaker 1: because I'm trying to find a way to tell you
- 2:30Speaker 1: this that you won't get twisted. The bottom line, you
- 2:33Speaker 1: gotta let go and let God. You have to allow
- 2:37Speaker 1: him to do it his way. See, I thought myself
- 2:40Speaker 1: to a certain point, but to go further, I had
- 2:43Speaker 1: to let God have it. I found out I wasn't
- 2:46Speaker 1: all that good a driver. I found out I wouldn't
- 2:48Speaker 1: all that good of a explore with a map. So
- 2:52Speaker 1: I had to let go. I had to let God.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And you gotta understand that God works in mysterious ways.
- 2:58Speaker 1: How often had I thought it was over for me?
- 3:01Speaker 1: But what God was doing was he was teaching me
- 3:03Speaker 1: a lesson. He was showing me something that I needed
- 3:07Speaker 1: to know. He was allowing me to experience some things.
- 3:10Speaker 1: But he didn't let me go under. You know how
- 3:12Speaker 1: they say God and never put more on you than
- 3:14Speaker 1: you can bear. He won't let you go under. You know,
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's like the scripture that Bishop Almah taught me when
- 3:19Speaker 1: I was going through that traumatic thing on the internet. Man,
- 3:22Speaker 1: it was really really man trying to destroy what I
- 3:25Speaker 1: had worked for in my family and this new life
- 3:28Speaker 1: that God had presented me. And the devil is busy.
- 3:30Speaker 1: The devil don't like to see you happy. So here
- 3:32Speaker 1: he comes. He puts you under attack, and he comes
- 3:34Speaker 1: in and thatt and everything. And my kids are suffering.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But you know, here comes God. Though, see God don't
- 3:40Speaker 1: put more on you than you can bear. And Bishop
- 3:43Speaker 1: Olma sent me a scripture. He sent me Isaiah forty
- 3:46Speaker 1: three one and two. And in that scripture it says
- 3:49Speaker 1: to the effect that you can walk through the water
- 3:53Speaker 1: the rivers, and the water won't overcome you. But then
- 3:57Speaker 1: it said you can walk through the fire, and you
- 3:59Speaker 1: will will not get burned, nor will kindling set upon
- 4:04Speaker 1: your clothing. I learned something very valuable that day. See
- 4:08Speaker 1: God sent me through something, but he was showing me
- 4:10Speaker 1: something too. Now he didn't do it. God didn't bring
- 4:14Speaker 1: that calamity into my life because in Isaiah fifty four
- 4:18Speaker 1: seventeen it says clearly that if anyone comes against you,
- 4:22Speaker 1: it will not be my doing. Now, this is what
- 4:24Speaker 1: he promised you when people come for you, though, see,
- 4:27Speaker 1: and this is what I learned. That's why I have
- 4:29Speaker 1: no fear of the people coming anymore because I learned that.
- 4:32Speaker 1: But God had to send me through a traumatic experience
- 4:35Speaker 1: in order for me to learn that. You can't have
- 4:37Speaker 1: a testimony without a test you know what I'm saying.
- 4:41Speaker 1: You can't learn nothing without a lesson. So what he
- 4:43Speaker 1: did was he allowed that internet thing come across crossed
- 4:46Speaker 1: into my life. But he taught me something. And Isaiah
- 4:49Speaker 1: forty three to one and two was and you could
- 4:51Speaker 1: walk through the fire and not get burned, nor what
- 4:54Speaker 1: kindling set upon your clothing. So what that said to
- 4:56Speaker 1: me was, even though you're trying to do me and
- 4:59Speaker 1: it's fire all around me, I won't burn, but when
- 5:03Speaker 1: it's over, kindling won't set upon your clothing. What that
- 5:06Speaker 1: showed me was not only would I walk through the
- 5:09Speaker 1: fire and not get burned, but there will be no
- 5:11Speaker 1: signs that I was ever in the fire. There's no
- 5:15Speaker 1: signs of it. But not hold up though. Now he
- 5:18Speaker 1: go to part though that I had to learn even
- 5:21Speaker 1: though you can walk through the fire, y'all, And even
- 5:23Speaker 1: though you're being flames and scorching all around you. If
- 5:26Speaker 1: you trust him, he ain't gonna let you burn. But
- 5:28Speaker 1: now hear what he did not say. Though, He did
- 5:31Speaker 1: not say that it was not going to be uncomfortably hot,
- 5:36Speaker 1: wickedly hot in there. He ain't say that. He just
- 5:40Speaker 1: said you won't burn, and when it's over, it won't
- 5:43Speaker 1: be no signs that you was in the fire. See
- 5:45Speaker 1: what happened to me was after they tried to destroy me.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Let me show you what God did for me. Not
- 5:50Speaker 1: only did they not accomplish what they set out to do,
- 5:53Speaker 1: but when they was through with me though, when they
- 5:55Speaker 1: was through throwing the gas and throwing the fire and
- 5:58Speaker 1: throwing the hate and right hating it in line and
- 6:01Speaker 1: creating all these names for themselves so it could look
- 6:04Speaker 1: like most people is hating when they got through it
- 6:06Speaker 1: all that man, look what he did to me. Look
- 6:10Speaker 1: what he did fum me, because he taught me something
- 6:13Speaker 1: that day. And I'm sharing it with you because God
- 6:16Speaker 1: will do the same thing for you. But you gotta
- 6:18Speaker 1: trust him though. You got to get in there and
- 6:20Speaker 1: you got to let him do it. You gotta let
- 6:22Speaker 1: him handle it. So just like pop Bridge just taught
- 6:25Speaker 1: my wife Marjorie. Just because you can do something, don't
- 6:28Speaker 1: mean y'all to do something. Yeah, you could go down
- 6:30Speaker 1: there and straighten them out, but should you though? Yeah,
- 6:32Speaker 1: you can go down there and tell them all. Yeah,
- 6:34Speaker 1: you can go down stand up and make sure they
- 6:36Speaker 1: know it's your voice, that they hear it, and you
- 6:38Speaker 1: can get in their face and make a scene. But
- 6:40Speaker 1: should you though, or should you let go and let God?
- 6:45Speaker 1: So before we run all out in the streets and
- 6:48Speaker 1: somebody go out there and do something crazy, let's hold tight.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying don't go out there, but you
- 6:53Speaker 1: gotta watch who you go out there with. But you
- 6:55Speaker 1: can go down there with peace in your heart. Somebody
- 6:57Speaker 1: decided I'm gonna throw a brick through here and bust
- 6:59Speaker 1: a window, partner, hold up, that ain't what we're down
- 7:02Speaker 1: here doing. So See, sometimes, man, you gotta let go,
- 7:04Speaker 1: and you gotta let God. You gotta let God have
- 7:07Speaker 1: situations sometimes and you get it in and do the
- 7:09Speaker 1: things that he tell you to do. See bisch Boehman
- 7:12Speaker 1: and taught me a lot. He had another book out
- 7:14Speaker 1: and he said, you know, knowing God's voice or something
- 7:17Speaker 1: like that. I'm not sure the title, but I never
- 7:20Speaker 1: really knew the definition of how do you know it's
- 7:22Speaker 1: God's voice talking to you? Well, he clearly made a statement.
- 7:27Speaker 1: God's voice has no sining in it. Whenever you're talking
- 7:30Speaker 1: about i'ma go, I'm gonna show him, I'm gonna get
- 7:33Speaker 1: him back. If it's sining in it, God ain't in it.
- 7:36Speaker 1: See that's you now. God's voice has no sining in it.
- 7:40Speaker 1: So when you say God told me, be careful, because
- 7:45Speaker 1: God ain't never told you to go do nothing wrong,
- 7:48Speaker 1: that ain't what he told you. And I learned that too.
- 7:51Speaker 1: It's a lot, so I'm just sharing today. I hope
- 7:54Speaker 1: it helps somebody today get through a difficult time because
- 7:57Speaker 1: the show has helped me. You're listening to the Steve
