- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Hey, good morning everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
- 0:09Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I've
- 0:14Speaker 1: been saying it like that since I got it too.
- 0:17Speaker 1: All right, got a good one for you today. Yesterday
- 0:20Speaker 1: the other day, I was talking to you about the
- 0:22Speaker 1: most effective weapon available to us as human beings, I
- 0:25Speaker 1: think is prayer. I think prayer helps us in so
- 0:29Speaker 1: many ways. But right now, what I want to do
- 0:32Speaker 1: is I want to show you how prayer pays off.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I want to show you what good it can do
- 0:39Speaker 1: for you. Even me, I use it every day, and
- 0:43Speaker 1: the days I don't use it, I feel it that that,
- 0:47Speaker 1: you know, the days that I go, you know, without
- 0:49Speaker 1: talking to him as much, I notice it. I feel it.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I feel a certain kind of way, you know, those
- 0:56Speaker 1: that doubt starts slipping in again, that uneasy feeling of
- 0:59Speaker 1: uncertain and he slips in again, that that wondering what
- 1:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna do starts slipping in again. Happens to me,
- 1:06Speaker 1: happens to everybody, man, I think, I really really do
- 1:08Speaker 1: you know, if people would just keep it real with
- 1:10Speaker 1: each other, stop being this Christian, this Superman because you ain't.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You ain't. There's a scripture that says that's none perfect, no,
- 1:22Speaker 1: not one, that's everybody, that that cover all of us
- 1:26Speaker 1: though it so sometimes I think we're a little too
- 1:29Speaker 1: hard on each other with that too, seeing that's how
- 1:32Speaker 1: we not perfect. We immediately want to just just oh man,
- 1:37Speaker 1: you just want to kill when we find somebody do
- 1:39Speaker 1: something wrong. Bell if we go public, everything go public
- 1:42Speaker 1: now it called social media. But anyway, I just want
- 1:45Speaker 1: to talk to you about how prayer pays off. It's
- 1:49Speaker 1: called it all eye and money. People got money, call
- 1:53Speaker 1: it all eyes. So return on investment. People always looking
- 1:56Speaker 1: for a return on investment. You know, nobody, nobody in
- 2:00Speaker 1: business really gives you money without understanding the return on investment.
- 2:04Speaker 1: They don't even give money to charities unless they think
- 2:08Speaker 1: it can do something with the bottom line. A lot
- 2:11Speaker 1: of companies work like that. I found out out myself. Sad,
- 2:14Speaker 1: but it is true. So since everything is expected to
- 2:18Speaker 1: work on a return on investment, I assume because we're
- 2:21Speaker 1: human beings. So since we are human beings, whether you're
- 2:24Speaker 1: in business or not, you still in the business of living.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I think when you pray, you should expect a return
- 2:34Speaker 1: on your investment. You talk to it, you spend time
- 2:38Speaker 1: opening up to him, you bowed your head to him,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you humbled yourself, you got on your knees. I mean,
- 2:47Speaker 1: but really we talking God here. So really, what you
- 2:49Speaker 1: doing ain't really about nothing. Be honest with you. A
- 2:51Speaker 1: little bit that you do do on his behalf, it
- 2:55Speaker 1: just pays in comparison with what he does. But let's
- 2:58Speaker 1: just say you call yourself invested. Well, let me show
- 3:02Speaker 1: you how it pays off. This because see, for me,
- 3:05Speaker 1: this is for me now, prayer pays off in different ways.
- 3:08Speaker 1: That's what I had to learn. See, I was praying,
- 3:12Speaker 1: but I was asking him specifically for what I wanted.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I had the audacity, though, to turn around and tell
- 3:18Speaker 1: him how to do what I wanted. That's amazing. Man.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many blessings I block come
- 3:24Speaker 1: in my way by putting my faith in what I
- 3:28Speaker 1: said I wanted and how I wanted him to do it.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I want you to give me this. I want that
- 3:34Speaker 1: person to go away. I want this person to accept
- 3:38Speaker 1: everything you say. Then I want to go over here
- 3:40Speaker 1: and I want this deal to happen like this, and
- 3:43Speaker 1: I want that person to just step aside and let
- 3:46Speaker 1: me through. And then I want that I was, I
- 3:49Speaker 1: had it mapped out. God must have been chuckling really hard.
- 3:53Speaker 1: He had to been gonna. Boy, I made you to
- 3:55Speaker 1: be funny. But boy, you funny now. So you're gonna
- 3:57Speaker 1: tell me how to do it. And you've all heard
- 4:00Speaker 1: this right here. If you want to make God laugh
- 4:02Speaker 1: telling me your plan, well that's what I did. And
- 4:05Speaker 1: that's how we pray. A lot of times we pray,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and we pray. In the prayer, we're telling him how
- 4:10Speaker 1: to work it out. Well, here's a deal. This is
- 4:14Speaker 1: what I've learned. Prayer pays off in different ways. There's
- 4:18Speaker 1: a different return of my investment when I pray. See,
- 4:22Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm praying for something, a situation to dissolve
- 4:27Speaker 1: itself or go away, sometimes I get courage out of
- 4:31Speaker 1: the prayer. Prayer provides me courage that's just to go
- 4:37Speaker 1: on and look at it. I guess face it. Then.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm praying about a situation, sometimes prayer gives
- 4:47Speaker 1: me hanging power. Sometimes, man, it just I look up
- 4:51Speaker 1: and I'm just handling it better. Sometimes prayer gives you
- 4:55Speaker 1: laugh at off power. Sometimes, man, you just got to
- 5:00Speaker 1: laugh at off whatever, man, you trip it? Do you
- 5:07Speaker 1: know what that is? If you could do that? You know,
- 5:10Speaker 1: sometimes it gives it gives you a show of strength power.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Sometimes prayer allows you to have the appearance that you
- 5:19Speaker 1: got it all together. Nobody got to know. The world winning,
- 5:24Speaker 1: the tornado, the hurricane that's swirling in your life. You
- 5:27Speaker 1: standing over that like the eye the hurricane, you just
- 5:30Speaker 1: and it's all swelling around you. But you standing there
- 5:33Speaker 1: like the eye, you just as calm. That's what prayer does.
- 5:36Speaker 1: So when you pray, man, it builds up a lot
- 5:40Speaker 1: of things in you. You know what it's done for me.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Prayer has built up character in me. It's made me
- 5:46Speaker 1: have more character because I'm able to stand stronger on
- 5:50Speaker 1: the things I say because I've been praying, because I've
- 5:53Speaker 1: been asking God for all of those return of investments.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I've been asking God for courage. I've been asking God
- 6:00Speaker 1: for hanging in that power. I've been asking him to
- 6:03Speaker 1: give me the power to walk away. I've asked him
- 6:05Speaker 1: to give me ignored power. I've asked him to help
- 6:08Speaker 1: me laugh it off. I've asked him to show me strength.
- 6:11Speaker 1: But you know what I was doing, I was really praying,
- 6:13Speaker 1: not really for them. Things be real with you. I
- 6:16Speaker 1: was asking him to help me, Lord, help me. You
- 6:19Speaker 1: ever done that? You have asked God for help? And
- 6:21Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the list of these things
- 6:23Speaker 1: show up. See, sometimes how you want the problem to
- 6:26Speaker 1: be solved ain't the best way. There's a lesson to
- 6:29Speaker 1: be learned when we make mistakes. And sometimes you got
- 6:31Speaker 1: to stay in that fire and you got to learn
- 6:34Speaker 1: that lesson. But guess what, though, when you come out
- 6:37Speaker 1: of it, you're gonna be better for it. You gonna
- 6:39Speaker 1: know more about it. Come on, y'all, pray. He's solid.
- 6:43Speaker 1: His word is true. It lasts forever. He do what
- 6:46Speaker 1: he said he gonna do now all day, all night,
- 6:50Speaker 1: twenty four seven. He do it all day, all night,
- 6:53Speaker 1: and then some more. His word don't ever change. It's true.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It works for me. It worked for you. It worked
- 7:00Speaker 1: for Jake's, It worked for Old Steam, It worked for
- 7:03Speaker 1: Kirk Franklin, It worked for Paula White, It worked for

- 7:12Speaker 1: It worked for the Princess Arabs. It worked man, it
- 7:17Speaker 1: worked for you. What you're waiting for, Why don't you
- 7:21Speaker 1: put praying your game. Watch what happened to you? You
- 7:24Speaker 1: sitting in that jail cell and you struggling with it,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and they telling you blood in, blood out, you can't
- 7:29Speaker 1: get in you. That's foolishness, man, What you mean God
- 7:32Speaker 1: can get you out of anything. Look, man, if you
- 7:35Speaker 1: done read your Bible, he'dne got some people lot some
- 7:37Speaker 1: sticky situations. I don't know what you're talking about. If
- 7:40Speaker 1: Daniel was in the lions den and Jonah was in
- 7:43Speaker 1: the belly of the whale, what you're talking about? Where
- 7:45Speaker 1: you are? You just sitting in the cell with some
- 7:46Speaker 1: dudes around, You're talking about what they gonna do. Man,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you got to be real. God can't nothing to do nothing.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Nobody can't nobody do nothing to you. God won't give
- 7:54Speaker 1: you the strength to handle prayer change his things. Man,
