- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
- 0:07Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, Come on me now, want
- 0:10Speaker 1: and only see Harvey got a radio show. Five things
- 0:15Speaker 1: that I know successful people have to do to be successful.
- 0:20Speaker 1: The principles are the same. You can apply it to anything,
- 0:24Speaker 1: you know, if you want to be happily married, you know,
- 0:26Speaker 1: whatever it is. The principles of success are the same.
- 0:30Speaker 1: There are a series of things that you have to do.
- 0:32Speaker 1: You cannot skip the steps of success. If you do,
- 0:36Speaker 1: you're going to have to go back and step on
- 0:37Speaker 1: them anyway. So here's here's here's a part man that
- 0:43Speaker 1: I want you all to understand about me, and and
- 0:46Speaker 1: and and about how to look at it. You know,
- 0:51Speaker 1: you you cannot under estimate faith and prayer. You just
- 1:00Speaker 1: hand you cannot underestimate the power of faith and the
- 1:07Speaker 1: power of prayer. See for me, this is just for me. Now,
- 1:12Speaker 1: this ain't in the scripture nowhere. This is just something
- 1:15Speaker 1: I discovered. What prayer did for me was was it
- 1:19Speaker 1: tied me to my creator. It gave me a sense
- 1:26Speaker 1: and I'm describing it this way, but I'm telling you
- 1:29Speaker 1: it's deeper than this. But it gave me a sense
- 1:32Speaker 1: that I wasn't alone, and at actuality I wasn't. But
- 1:38Speaker 1: prayer helped connect me to the power source that was
- 1:44Speaker 1: available to me to get through, get around, or get
- 1:50Speaker 1: over whatever it was that was in the way, whether
- 1:55Speaker 1: it was just a period I stretched, I had to
- 1:56Speaker 1: go through hard work. It had to period I had
- 2:00Speaker 1: to go through to learn some lessons, some periods I
- 2:03Speaker 1: had to go through from having to pay for some
- 2:05Speaker 1: of the mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be,
- 2:09Speaker 1: Prayer gave me a decided advantage, especially, oh, here we go,
- 2:19Speaker 1: especially over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in
- 2:25Speaker 1: my life that were my enemies, I didn't want them
- 2:27Speaker 1: to be my enemies, make no mistake about this. But
- 2:32Speaker 1: through the thing called life, some things went down. Some
- 2:35Speaker 1: things happened from here and then went over here and
- 2:37Speaker 1: over that way, and a person became my enemy. The
- 2:41Speaker 1: majority of enemies I have came out of nowhere. I
- 2:46Speaker 1: have no reason to even see why they are my enemies.
- 2:49Speaker 1: But you know, life goes on, man, It happens from
- 2:53Speaker 1: time to time. Some people just won't let it go.
- 2:56Speaker 1: See some people, in their quest to do something to
- 3:01Speaker 1: you or to make you pay, they just won't let
- 3:04Speaker 1: it go. What it may cause you some discomfort, and
- 3:08Speaker 1: some of it may be lies about you and all
- 3:10Speaker 1: of this and all of that, but that that can't
- 3:13Speaker 1: prohibit you from going forward. So what I'm saying is
- 3:17Speaker 1: prayer gave me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to
- 3:21Speaker 1: either go through it, go around it, or go over it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: But it happened. I do not know how I could
- 3:32Speaker 1: have made it without faith and without prayer. It would have.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Something would have got me. YouTube would have got me.
- 3:44Speaker 1: The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I
- 3:50Speaker 1: grew up with that used to laugh behind my back,
- 3:53Speaker 1: they would have got me. My friend that went over
- 3:57Speaker 1: my mother's house one time and told her, you know
- 3:59Speaker 1: what Steve's problem is, he out there telling them jokes.
- 4:02Speaker 1: He just lazy, he don't want to work. That would
- 4:06Speaker 1: have got me. They didn't know. I ain't really mad
- 4:11Speaker 1: at them, because they were just All they was doing
- 4:13Speaker 1: was based in their conversations and passing judgment based on
- 4:17Speaker 1: what they knew, based on what they believed. They didn't
- 4:22Speaker 1: believe I was gonna make it. But that's them though.
- 4:27Speaker 1: If it was not for the faith, which is the
- 4:29Speaker 1: belief in things that you cannot see, I wouldn't have
- 4:32Speaker 1: made it because I would have listened to everybody else
- 4:36Speaker 1: who didn't see me getting here and went along with it.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man, how many times
- 4:45Speaker 1: has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has bailed me out,
- 4:50Speaker 1: press still bailing me out. Tell you the truth, man,
- 4:55Speaker 1: quiet as it's kept. Prayer that could to your heavenly father,
- 5:02Speaker 1: that connection to your creator, that connection to that source
- 5:06Speaker 1: of power and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that
- 5:10Speaker 1: you were alone. You know, I was watching the Bishop
- 5:12Speaker 1: Jakes on TV yesterday and it was a repeat, and
- 5:17Speaker 1: one of the things he was talking about, well, let
- 5:21Speaker 1: me just get to the gist of it. I was
- 5:25Speaker 1: going through a portion of my life, and I went
- 5:30Speaker 1: through it for some years, y'all. I had gotten myself
- 5:32Speaker 1: into a jam that lasted for years, I'm telling you,
- 5:38Speaker 1: for years, with some serious consequences to follow. For years.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And I was so busy looking at where I was at.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I was sulking. Sometimes, Man, I'd get on the radio, man,
- 5:56Speaker 1: I'd be just done. I was sulking. My spirit had
- 6:03Speaker 1: gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight, and
- 6:08Speaker 1: would I would come on some mornings, man, and I
- 6:11Speaker 1: would try try not to let on, but I was hurting.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I was because I had been in for years. Man,
- 6:15Speaker 1: I had been in this thing for years. And one
- 6:20Speaker 1: thing I was doing, I was so busy looking at
- 6:22Speaker 1: where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop
- 6:25Speaker 1: Jakes he preached his sermon. He was talking about so
- 6:35Speaker 1: busy looking at where you at that you don't even
- 6:41Speaker 1: realize that God has been with you the entire time.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And you know what, man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I
- 6:52Speaker 1: heard this and I text him. I text Bishop Jakes
- 6:56Speaker 1: and I thanked him because it was an old message
- 6:59Speaker 1: I could tell and I call, I text him up
- 7:02Speaker 1: and I said, Man, thank you so much. I was
- 7:04Speaker 1: just watching you on TV and you told me. Man,
- 7:07Speaker 1: something that I that I'll always remember that whatever you're
- 7:11Speaker 1: going through, that He's there with you the whole time.
- 7:15Speaker 1: But see when sometimes when you're so busy looking at
- 7:18Speaker 1: where you at, you don't even notice where he is.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And see sometimes, man, that that helped me, and that's
- 7:24Speaker 1: going to help me in the future to realize that
- 7:27Speaker 1: what I'm going through, that he's there. He's there with me,
- 7:30Speaker 1: and he gonna protect me and he ain't gonna let
- 7:32Speaker 1: my enemies overcome me, and he ain't gonna let nobody
- 7:35Speaker 1: overtake me, and he ain't gonna let me go un
- 7:37Speaker 1: them because he's there. It's just you can't be so
- 7:41Speaker 1: busy looking at where you at that you don't take
- 7:43Speaker 1: notice of where he at. God is always there, He's
- 7:46Speaker 1: always available, and the best way to tap into that
- 7:48Speaker 1: and know it is you got to pray. Prayer has
- 7:52Speaker 1: changed my life. Prayer can change your life. You can
- 7:56Speaker 1: become something if you just pray. It's a Steve Harvey
