- 0:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Man, boy boy boy boy man. God has been good
- 0:21Speaker 2: to me. I can't even I can't even put it
- 0:27Speaker 2: into words, man, But I try, though, I try, I try,
- 0:30Speaker 2: I try. God does things for me just right on time.
- 0:34Speaker 2: He's so cool with it. And I happened to run
- 0:39Speaker 2: across Joel Oldstein on television like I often do all
- 0:43Speaker 2: the time, and I was sitting there and he had
- 0:49Speaker 2: such a timely message for me. A part of it
- 0:52Speaker 2: was something that I've said oftentimes about if you really
- 0:58Speaker 2: really want to be success, if you really really want
- 1:02Speaker 2: to change, if you really really want to prosper, if
- 1:05Speaker 2: you really really want to achieve greatness, if you really
- 1:08Speaker 2: really want to have something in life that's worth having,
- 1:11Speaker 2: if you really really want to accomplish your goals, you
- 1:14Speaker 2: got to push through all of it. He said that
- 1:19Speaker 2: when you get closer to it, the more difficult it becomes.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Did you hear me? He said, the closer you get
- 1:29Speaker 2: to what it is you want or you need, or
- 1:32Speaker 2: you have to have, or you would love to be.
- 1:36Speaker 2: It gets a little bit more difficult when you get closer.
- 1:41Speaker 2: He told this story that's in the Bible that I
- 1:46Speaker 2: never heard before. This is what he said. He said,
- 1:50Speaker 2: there was a man who was paralyzed and he had
- 1:57Speaker 2: heard that Jesus was speaking at a house, and so
- 2:02Speaker 2: he wanted to get there. So he convinced four of
- 2:05Speaker 2: his friends to put him on a stretcher and carry
- 2:11Speaker 2: him for hours to get to this house where Jesus
- 2:17Speaker 2: was speaking. He said that along the way, these friends
- 2:24Speaker 2: said that they went along because he had so much
- 2:28Speaker 2: faith that if he could just get to him, it
- 2:31Speaker 2: could be better that he could if he could just
- 2:34Speaker 2: get over there and he could see him, that he
- 2:37Speaker 2: might have a shot at getting here. And so he said,
- 2:40Speaker 2: they took out along the way and they walked and
- 2:42Speaker 2: they walked and they walked for hours. And then when
- 2:46Speaker 2: they got there, the house was completely filled with people.
- 2:51Speaker 2: That was absolutely it was packed wall to wall. There
- 2:54Speaker 2: was absolutely no way for the men to get him
- 2:58Speaker 2: on that stretcher in to see Jesus. This is a
- 3:02Speaker 2: story that uh Joe Losting said is in the Bible.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And he was telling it now. I'm just repeating the
- 3:08Speaker 2: parts of it I gathered and so he said. They
- 3:12Speaker 2: sat there and they went, wow, man, we walked all
- 3:14Speaker 2: this weight and it's full and and and and and
- 3:18Speaker 2: and and we can't get that, he said. And then
- 3:22Speaker 2: the guy with the affliction told the four men, if
- 3:27Speaker 2: you get up on the roof and cut a hole
- 3:31Speaker 2: in it and lower me down, I bet I could
- 3:35Speaker 2: see him then, and I bet it to be all
- 3:37Speaker 2: right now. He then said, you must imagined how these
- 3:43Speaker 2: four men must have felt when you carry somebody for hours.
- 3:48Speaker 1: On on on on on on on the way.
- 3:50Speaker 2: They had to carry some cloth connected by a couple
- 3:53Speaker 2: of sticks, said the me and shoulders had to be bruised,
- 3:57Speaker 2: had to have deep gouges and I'm not cut, but
- 4:00Speaker 2: just indentations where they had carried the weight of this
- 4:03Speaker 2: grown man for so many hours. And they looked at
- 4:06Speaker 2: him in disbelief, like, man, what are you talking about?
- 4:08Speaker 2: We done walked all this far? He said, yeah, But
- 4:11Speaker 2: if you get up on that roof and you cut
- 4:13Speaker 2: a hole in it and lower me down, I can
- 4:17Speaker 2: see him, and when he see me, it'll be all right.
- 4:22Speaker 2: After sitting there and imploring the men they went up
- 4:25Speaker 2: and did just that, and then the story that Joe
- 4:30Speaker 2: Los Dean said, the man was healed.
- 4:33Speaker 1: But the point he was making was he was saying.
- 4:36Speaker 2: That the closer you get to what it is you
- 4:40Speaker 2: really want, the more difficult it's going to become. But
- 4:44Speaker 2: you've got to push through. See, if you don't push through,
- 4:47Speaker 2: you never know. See, you can't get right to the answer.
- 4:51Speaker 2: And because it gets really difficult, started creating those little
- 4:54Speaker 2: saying that we got as people. Well, I guess it
- 4:58Speaker 2: wasn't meant to be. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. Now, man,
- 5:03Speaker 2: I guess you should not give up right now. I
- 5:06Speaker 2: guess you should keep pressing. I guess you should do
- 5:09Speaker 2: more because see, in all of us, in all of us,
- 5:13Speaker 2: when you've had enough.
- 5:14Speaker 1: I want you to know something. You do have a
- 5:17Speaker 1: little bit more in all of us. You can do
- 5:21Speaker 1: one more. You know.
- 5:22Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite things that I heard, Joel
- 5:24Speaker 2: Oldstein said, and it kind of made me feel good.
- 5:27Speaker 2: He said, I always feel like I can do one
- 5:31Speaker 2: more anything, And I tell my friends all the time,
- 5:35Speaker 2: I can do one more, man, I could do one
- 5:37Speaker 2: more day. I can do one more anything. Now Here
- 5:43Speaker 2: was the jewel that I never really knew that Joel
- 5:47Speaker 2: Oldstein and God sent to me I needed to hear.
- 5:53Speaker 2: He said that no matter what you're going through, no
- 5:57Speaker 2: matter how long the challenge is you've been, God has
- 6:02Speaker 2: an end date for it all.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Did you hear me?
- 6:06Speaker 2: No matter what you're going through, no matter what challenge
- 6:09Speaker 2: you're facing, no matter what situation you've gotten yourself into,
- 6:13Speaker 2: God has an ending date. All you got to do
- 6:17Speaker 2: is keep pressing forward. All you got to do is
- 6:21Speaker 2: hang in there. All you got to do is don't
- 6:24Speaker 2: give up. All you have to do is.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Don't turn back.
- 6:28Speaker 2: There is an end date for all of it, even
- 6:33Speaker 2: when you think you've had enough. And boy, have I
- 6:38Speaker 2: had this conversation with God on several things that I've
- 6:43Speaker 2: been going through, and I've even told him, look, I
- 6:46Speaker 2: got it, man. He said, just keep hanging on. There
- 6:51Speaker 2: is an end date to whatever it is you're going through.
- 6:55Speaker 2: There's an end date to your illness, your sickness, your
- 6:59Speaker 2: time of being tired. There's an in date to this
- 7:04Speaker 2: relationship that you can't seem to get through, beyond over
- 7:12Speaker 2: that's like a cancer to you. There's an end date,
- 7:16Speaker 2: But you've got to hang in there. You've got to
- 7:20Speaker 2: keep pushing forward. You cannot turn around. You must not
- 7:24Speaker 2: go back, because when God gets you through this and
- 7:29Speaker 2: you break through to the other side, the reward and
- 7:33Speaker 2: the benefit is far greater than the struggle. I oftentimes
- 7:40Speaker 2: look at some of the things that God has brought
- 7:43Speaker 2: me through in my worst times, and when He brought
- 7:46Speaker 2: me through, I went, Wow, Man, now that I understand that,
- 7:50Speaker 2: Now that I'm on the other side and I have
- 7:52Speaker 2: the benefit of the reward for it, would you do
- 7:55Speaker 2: it all again to get that.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Yes, I would. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
