- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You
- 0:07Speaker 1: are listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
- 0:09Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Man,
- 0:14Speaker 1: one more time. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah,
- 0:17Speaker 1: I do, man. I thank God for it every day.
- 0:20Speaker 1: You know, um, my message this morning, man, is real clear.
- 0:25Speaker 1: It's something that's been on me to share. And, um,
- 0:30Speaker 1: It's amazing, you know. God can do some amazing things
- 0:37Speaker 1: for you. But what happens along the way is, and
- 0:43Speaker 1: I don't know that I mean to say but, but
- 0:46Speaker 1: the fact that God can do some amazing things for you,
- 0:50Speaker 1: there comes adversity along with it. Every single time. It
- 0:59Speaker 1: just goes without saying. And I was having a fairly,
- 1:06Speaker 1: I mean, well, not fairly, but a hugely successful week.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I had never seen this type of hatred before. I
- 1:15Speaker 1: hadn't seen it. And it's a great trick that the
- 1:20Speaker 1: devil does, you know, when God is blessing you and
- 1:23Speaker 1: giving you Some of some some great opportunities in your life,
- 1:26Speaker 1: as all of you have gone through. And it is
- 1:29Speaker 1: isn't it amazing how some negative thing crops up and
- 1:33Speaker 1: that's what you have to focus on. I found out
- 1:37Speaker 1: that I don't have to, but you wind up focusing
- 1:39Speaker 1: on it and your energy goes over to that to
- 1:42Speaker 1: try to deal with it, counteract, wonder why it was happening.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You got to make phone calls. What was this about? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And it throws you off the course you are on.
- 1:55Speaker 1: The beginning of the week, I was so grateful. I
- 1:58Speaker 1: was so amazed. I was really thanking God for opportunity.
- 2:01Speaker 1: For this brief moment, the enemy slides this This little
- 2:06Speaker 1: factor in that it causes you to, and it requires
- 2:10Speaker 1: your attention. You have to pay attention because you don't know.
- 2:12Speaker 1: You're going, wow, man, let me see what this could
- 2:15Speaker 1: really be. How much dirt is this really that they're
- 2:19Speaker 1: trying to do? And so it requires your attention. But
- 2:22Speaker 1: in that attention, you lose your focus on really all
- 2:27Speaker 1: the blessings and the good thing that God does for you.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The enemy has an amazing trick that he does that.
- 2:34Speaker 1: And it was, and it was in my head. I
- 2:37Speaker 1: got to tell y'all all week long, man. And I
- 2:39Speaker 1: was doing some amazing stuff. I was having such a
- 2:43Speaker 1: blessed week, man, in terms of press and PR and
- 2:46Speaker 1: where God was taking me. And then when I got back,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I was talking with my wife and then I was
- 2:54Speaker 1: talking to a good friend of ours and they shared something.
- 2:59Speaker 1: That really helped me out. And they said to me,
- 3:04Speaker 1: new level, new devil. You know, it's something really simple.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But new level, new devil. Every time you go to
- 3:15Speaker 1: another level, every time you go a little bit higher.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Every time God has a blessing in store for you,
- 3:24Speaker 1: every time he moves you in position, do you understand
- 3:28Speaker 1: that the enemy's job is to make you not see
- 3:31Speaker 1: the blessing, make you not be grateful for it, lose
- 3:35Speaker 1: your focus and focus on this that I just threw
- 3:38Speaker 1: in your way, this stumbling block, this obstacle, this trickery.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And man, I was, I was, I got, I just
- 3:46Speaker 1: got to tell you, man, I mean, it was so
- 3:48Speaker 1: filled with hatred. I really spent some time addressing it.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I got publicists on the phone. I said, what's happening here?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Y'all not watching this? What was this attack? You didn't
- 4:00Speaker 1: know these angles? And, you know, Steve, chill. New level,
- 4:06Speaker 1: new devil. If you get a promotion on your job,
- 4:10Speaker 1: guess what? Somebody ain't happy that you got the promotion.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So here come the hate. You don't even really know
- 4:17Speaker 1: these people. You have no idea. Every time you make
- 4:22Speaker 1: a decision to make your relationship with your spouse better, man,
- 4:27Speaker 1: this is it. You know what I'm going to start doing?
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, man, so me and my
- 4:31Speaker 1: girl can go on and have this, or me and
- 4:33Speaker 1: my man can go on and have this. Watch what happens.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Every single time, here comes the new level, the new devil,
- 4:42Speaker 1: the trick. You don't need to do that. What you
- 4:44Speaker 1: doing that for her? She don't appreciate it. He ain't
- 4:46Speaker 1: gonna appreciate it. Look over here, man. Look at that
- 4:49Speaker 1: right there. Ain't he not? You know, he missed. He
- 4:51Speaker 1: didn't call you. And he said, there's all types of stuff.
- 4:54Speaker 1: It just happens all the time. And I was sitting
- 4:57Speaker 1: here talking with this friend, really good friend, very spiritual person.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And they said, you know something, Steve, you know, I
- 5:03Speaker 1: was talking to Jesus and said, I was having this
- 5:06Speaker 1: conversation with Christ. And I said, God, for real? You
- 5:12Speaker 1: mean to tell me every time that something good happens
- 5:16Speaker 1: to me? You mean every time I try to go
- 5:19Speaker 1: to the next level, every time you put me on
- 5:21Speaker 1: the next level, you mean to tell me that I
- 5:24Speaker 1: got to go through this right here? Are you for real?
- 5:29Speaker 1: And then my friend said, Jesus said to her, they
- 5:33Speaker 1: did it to me. And we just fell out laughing.
- 5:37Speaker 1: They did it to me. They did it to him.
- 5:42Speaker 1: They did it to him for him to go to
- 5:44Speaker 1: the next level. And, you know, I was just I
- 5:47Speaker 1: was just going over the whole story about the crucifixion
- 5:50Speaker 1: and everything. That had to be amazing, man. Of all
- 5:53Speaker 1: the hate he had endured, all the prosecuting he had
- 5:56Speaker 1: do it. They thought ultimately what we'll do is we'll
- 6:00Speaker 1: nail him on a cross and crucify him. And that'll
- 6:03Speaker 1: be the end of him. And we'll put him in
- 6:05Speaker 1: this tune and we'll put this big stone up there
- 6:08Speaker 1: and that'll be the end of him. But what they
- 6:10Speaker 1: did not know was all you was doing was setting
- 6:13Speaker 1: the tone for the next level because eventually the stone
- 6:17Speaker 1: got rolled away and he went and got placed with
- 6:20Speaker 1: his father where he was headed to. Anyway, he ultimately
- 6:24Speaker 1: knew that his ultimate goal was to get to his father. So,
- 6:31Speaker 1: When you thought you were doing what you were doing
- 6:34Speaker 1: to him and you put him in a tune and
- 6:37Speaker 1: you put the big stone up in there and the
- 6:39Speaker 1: stone got rolled away and he went eventually to where
- 6:44Speaker 1: he was trying to get to. That story is in
- 6:48Speaker 1: place for all of us to remember that when we
- 6:53Speaker 1: are going through some things, could it be because we
- 6:56Speaker 1: are going to a place? You know, it could be
- 6:59Speaker 1: just a place in life. It could be just a
- 7:03Speaker 1: different level in life. That's all it has to be.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But there's going to be the adversarial challenges that come
- 7:10Speaker 1: with it. And those are the moments we must expect
- 7:15Speaker 1: and take them head on and still not lose your
- 7:18Speaker 1: focus or appreciation for what God has done for you.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So in light of all of that, I'm able to
- 7:23Speaker 1: say today that I thank my Heavenly Father. I really
- 7:26Speaker 1: do for all the blessings He's bestowed upon me. And
- 7:30Speaker 1: all of the haters and all of the liars and
- 7:34Speaker 1: all of the backstabbers and all those people. When you
- 7:37Speaker 1: get through lying, when you get through stabbing, when you
- 7:42Speaker 1: get through gossiping and doing what you do. I'm still
- 7:47Speaker 1: going to the next level. I'm still going. You cannot
- 7:54Speaker 1: stop what God has in store for you. No one
- 7:58Speaker 1: can stop that. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
