  Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Harvey got a radio show. Here we go today.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I think I have something for a lot of people today,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: at least I hope I do. And this is about
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on your journey, And this is about something that happens
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to us all. I mean, what happens to all of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: us from time to time when we get discouraged. What
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: happens to all of us when we feel like quitting,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: What happens to all of us when we have that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: turnback moment. What happens to all of us when it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: don't seem like it's going to pan out? Because I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: has those thoughts about at some point in their life.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: things not happening.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: As fast as I like them.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: All things don't pan out the way I would like
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for them to have panned out. I mean, it's so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: many ways to get discouraged. But but what my encouragement
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is a part of the growth process. It is a test.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It is a test of your faith, how bad you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: want it, do you really believes? That's all faith is is, simply,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and I've said this how many times. Faith is the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: setbacks comes, it is a test of your faith. At
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: least it's been that way for me. Now other people
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: can only give it to you the way it has
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: come to me and throughout my life, and man o
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: man or man discouragement sometimes it's tough.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: To deal with.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Because it seems at times when you are discouraged that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it is so absolute that this means the end, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: if you allow it to set in, it can be
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: just that the end of you, when merely merely it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: was a test, that's all it is. But the majority
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of people that I know who are not successful, or
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: who have told me the story of how they gave up,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it was because at a moment of discouragement that they
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: allowed it to set in and it became so engulfing
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: then they started justifying it with hitt one that I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hate to hear. Well, if it's God's will, excuse me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you lay down and give up, it's God's will that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you allow yourself to amount to, not to not reach
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: your potential. That's God's will. That's not the God I know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's not the God I served, that's not the God
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I've read about. That's not the God I believe in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that he didn't bring me this far to leave me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I just don't believe that, not for a second.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Now. Have I convinced myself some things, yep?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Have I allowed the devil to come into the picture
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and paint a different one from it? Yep, yep, I've
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: done all of that. But you can't blame that on God. Now,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: come on, so when discouragement comes, try to look at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it if you can, as a test of your faith,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and you merely have to pass the test. It could
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be for a day, a half a day, a few hours,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know how long the test period is your job is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That's your job.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: If you do that, that's how you pass the test.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: two weeks, it could be over in a month.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You don't know.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But all you got to do is wake up and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: keep the faith and fight the discouraging feelings.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: This is the part I know about for show because
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: order to get to where God wanted me to be.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like if I were to complete the task? What would
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it be like?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: What would the outcome be for me? If I hung
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: loan in there? If I didn't give up? If I imagine,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I imagine if I don't quit.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I imagine, if I don't give up, what would it
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: be like?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Man? Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true? But if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't quit, and give up. That might just be
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the case. I start talking to myself that I think
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of what the upside is. What's the upside to stay
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in with it? You see, all this is the same thing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just giving you different ways to look at it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying the exact same thing over and over. But
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find the switch that connects in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and the outcome is appealing to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You, if you imagine what it would be like.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: If you don't give up or you don't quit, if
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you think only of what the upside is to stay
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in with it, And then I go, where can this
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: lead to? If I stay with it, man, and the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, there's always more to it. So where
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: What are the limitless possibilities? What could God God possibly
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have in store for me? If I just hang in there,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if I pass this test of faith, if I just
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pass this test, now, it ain't gonna be the only one,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: but you gotta get past this one. No, then you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna hear the smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be another one. Life ain't nothing but a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: series of tests.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Man, when you're thinking about giving up, when you're discouraged,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: if you don't quit, if you don't give up. What's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the upside to staying with it? Where can this all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: lead to? What can this get you to? If you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: do this and you get to where you think you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: want to be, Oh my god, what's after that? What
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: your faith?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: What could really be out there for me? Man? If
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I just passed this test, you.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Gotta talk yourself into hanging in there.
• 8:00
