  Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: dig me now. One and only Steve Harley got a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: radio show. I was had my head down and it
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: was thinking of what I wanted to say this morning.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: But it kind of, uh, it's kind of be something
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I've lived for a long time, and you know, for
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a long time, you know, I had a lot of
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: faith in people. You know. It's strange too, because you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you know, my mother was a Sunday school teacher, so
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of course I grew up around knowing, uh, scriptures and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: things like that. Not not a lot of them, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you know, the ones I retained. But having her as
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a mother was was a huge help and understand about faith.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: But even with that, as I grew up, I began
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to put a lot of faith in people. And you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I figured, uh, you know, just like everybody else, you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: man if I could just meet this person, or if
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I could just sit down with that person, or man
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: if I could just get this person to hear my ideal,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: or man if just if this person could hear my track,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: or man if I could just get this in the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: hands of somebody in the know, I was like everybody else,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I thought that way. You know, I actually thought that
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: if I could get in a certain situation with a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: certain person, that if a certain person were to meet me,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that you know, it could change everything for me. Oh man,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Oh how wrong I was? Oh how wrong I was?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: How long did I spend feeling that way? And how
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: many of you out there possibly have felt that way before?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You know, like even in a relationship, This is the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: person for me, And you know you just lay cling
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to that, you know, not necessarily being a fact, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you just lay to it. This is the person for me,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: This is the person that I want to spend the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: rest of my life with. You know. Sometimes, you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we just lay claim and stuff and it's not always
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: what's in our best interest or it's not always a fact.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's just what we decided we want it. And I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: was guilty of that, just like anybody else. And I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: spent a lot of years in my life putting faith
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in people. Man, if I could tell you anything this morning,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it's to stop putting your faith in people and put
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: your faith in God where it counts the most. I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you can get something out of this one. See, here's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a deal about a relationship with God. It's the same
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: all the time. He never changes. His word is one
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: hundred percent absolute. His word doesn't have loopholes in it,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: none of that. It's this is what it is. He's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: very clear. Now, you can deviate off your end at
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a bargain, but it don't stop what he says from
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: being true. But if he asked you to do something,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: if God asked you to be a certain way, to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: do a little something a certain way, and you don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: do it that way, then you know, you could still
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: possibly get by for a while. But don't you understand
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that his end of the deal stays the same, And
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: as long as you're not doing it the way you're
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: supposed to, the results are not going to be what
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you wanted to be. And I did this for years
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and years and years, and I counted on people, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I got myself in a lot of situations.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And I got out one a dire situation that I'd
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: been in for a number of years. But he had
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: protected me from years prior to that. I didn't even
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: know what was going on, and then he made it,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: made me aware of the problem. And then, man, Lord
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have mercy, I was in a dismal situation, and then
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year I was free, free
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: from it all.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But it was a decision that I had.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Made that led up to that, and in going through
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that process, I had to learn something.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I learned a lot about people. See, if you want
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to learn about your friends, if you want to learn
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: about your people people around you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Get yourself in some trouble. Get yourself in a situation.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Oh man, you start looking around, man to feel get
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: real clear when you're in trouble. The feel clear is
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: out when you're in doubt, when you don't know what
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to do, when you need help it, get real clear
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on the play and field, then don't it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But when things is going right, it's time for a party.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: We throwing a celebration. We gonna We're gonna do one
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: down here. Oh man, there's plenty of people on the field.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But but but get yourself in a situation. You find
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: out rather quickly that oh no, oh no, everybody ain't here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And that's when I started learning. And I'm telling you,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I had to start learning this for real until I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: finally got it to stop putting my faith in people
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and put all the mind in God where it counts
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the most. Now is that to say that there are
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: people that you can't trust. No, that's not what I'm saying.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I ain't say you can't trust them, but you can't
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: dump your faith in them. I got it all riding
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on what he say. I got it all riding on
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: what she say. No, no, uh uh no, I hear
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you saying it. But I'm gonna keep my eye on
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: this situation because I hear you saying it. But I'm
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: gonna take this faith of mine and instead of putting
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it in people, I'm gonna put it in God where
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it counts the most. Because his word is absolute. What
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: he say, he's gonna do. He gonna do what he say.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna tolerate. He's not gonna tolerate. Now, you
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: can make it, you can make it tolerable for yourself,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: but he's not gonna tolerate it. And that's just the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: end of the line. And so you know, I'm wondering
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: how many people out there find themselves in a situation
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: like me, Or maybe you've gotten yourself in a situation
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: because you put your faith in some people and now
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you wound up in a different type of situation.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you where the people at.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The only one that I found when I was in
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: my deepest trouble, when me and my wife were in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: our darkest situation, was God. It was the only one,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: was the only one who was just right there, right there,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: all the way through. Now, let me explain something to you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Because you have this relationship with God, it does not mean,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it does not mean now that it won't get it
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: won't still be a situation, you understand. But what He
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: will do is protect you during that period. He'll cover
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you during that period that it is a situation. He
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: will give you the strength to overcome the situation when
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it turns into a situation. Then when he cracks it
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: open for you and the sun is bright and shining,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: what he don't want you to do is when it
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: gets sunny again, to forget about him who was there
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: when it was dark for you. See, I used to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: do that too, you know I was Oh, man, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: did it. I'm telling you right now, I did it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, man, when I learned a very
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: serious lesson, and I watched some people I thought were
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: friends of mine just sort of casually remove themselves from
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the situation. Then I said, okay. Me and Marjorie looked around.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: We said, okay, it's just me, you and God. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: when we started conducting ourselves accordingly. So when it's sunny
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: for us, we remember God, we stay prayerful, we keep
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: talking to him. We thank him for the sunshine, we
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: thank him for the dark days that he allowed us
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to do, who allowed us to survive it and turn
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it into sunny days. And we talked to him constantly
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to protect us of our future enemies. And that's what
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the deal is. So if I was everybody, I would
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: stop putting your faith in people and put your trust
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in God where it really does count the most, it
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: really really does.
• 7:58
