- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
- 0:09Speaker 1: y'll listening to the voice? Come on dig me now.
- 0:13Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harley got a radio show. I
- 0:16Speaker 1: was talking with my wife and she said something her
- 0:18Speaker 1: father always used to tell her, just because you can
- 0:22Speaker 1: do something don't mean you should do it. I can't
- 0:25Speaker 1: tell you how many times I've had to learn that
- 0:27Speaker 1: in my life. You know, just because you can do
- 0:30Speaker 1: something does not necessarily mean you should do it. I
- 0:34Speaker 1: could tell people off oftentimes, but it don't mean I
- 0:38Speaker 1: should do it. I could go here and set the
- 0:41Speaker 1: record straight a lot of times, but it don't mean
- 0:45Speaker 1: I should do it. Well, I've learned a lot in
- 0:48Speaker 1: that lesson, folks, and because I have a relationship with
- 0:54Speaker 1: my creator, what it's done is it's allowed me to
- 0:58Speaker 1: learn even more how to stay still on a lot
- 1:01Speaker 1: of issues that's troubling me. I've learned it the hard way.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I do want you to understand that that sometimes it's
- 1:08Speaker 1: better to be still. Sometimes it's better to just let
- 1:11Speaker 1: God handle the situation now. And I know it's hard
- 1:14Speaker 1: to say because we think as people, but if I
- 1:17Speaker 1: do this, I would feel better. If I do this now,
- 1:22Speaker 1: they'll feel how I feel. See, but that's not always
- 1:25Speaker 1: the best way though, I found in my life. Sometimes
- 1:28Speaker 1: you gotta like old people used to say, you gotta
- 1:31Speaker 1: let go and let God. I'm gonna tell you something, man,
- 1:34Speaker 1: I learned a lot from my mother being a Sunday
- 1:36Speaker 1: school teacher. But you know, at the same time, when
- 1:38Speaker 1: she was when I was young, I thought she was
- 1:40Speaker 1: just an old person just talking to me. I didn't
- 1:42Speaker 1: get it. You know how your parents used to talk
- 1:44Speaker 1: to you and you didn't get it, And they used
- 1:47Speaker 1: to always say, well, wait till you have your own kids,
- 1:49Speaker 1: you'll get it then, And sure enough you got it. Then. Well,
- 1:52Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I'm no different you know. I
- 1:53Speaker 1: don't have no different life than you. You. I don't
- 1:55Speaker 1: have no different upbringing in you. I don't have no
- 1:58Speaker 1: different ways that I can live and you can't. You know,
- 2:01Speaker 1: I gotta live by the same laws of the land
- 2:03Speaker 1: that you gotta live by. I gotta obey the principles
- 2:06Speaker 1: of success. If I want to be successful, I gotta
- 2:08Speaker 1: bam And you know, if I want to go to heaven,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I gotta do what God tell me to do as
- 2:13Speaker 1: many times as I can. Now, you ain't gonna get
- 2:15Speaker 1: it all right. But he understand that and I just
- 2:17Speaker 1: get on with the best I can. But so many times, man,
- 2:21Speaker 1: we get stuck right there, man, worrying about you know,
- 2:26Speaker 1: how it's gonna come across and what you know, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 1: kind of going around here because I'm trying to find
- 2:32Speaker 1: a way to tell you this that you won't get twisted.
- 2:35Speaker 1: The bottom line, you gotta let go and let God.
- 2:38Speaker 1: You have to allow him to do it his way. See,
- 2:42Speaker 1: I thought myself to a certain point, but to go further,
- 2:45Speaker 1: I had to let God have it. I found out
- 2:48Speaker 1: I wasn't all that good a driver. I found out
- 2:50Speaker 1: I wouldn't all that good of a explore with a map.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So I had to let go. I had to let God.
- 2:57Speaker 1: And you gotta understand that God works in mysterious way.
- 3:00Speaker 1: How often had I thought it was over for me?
- 3:04Speaker 1: But what God was doing was he was teaching me
- 3:06Speaker 1: a lesson. He was showing me something that I needed
- 3:09Speaker 1: to know. He was allowing me to experience some things.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But he didn't let me go under. You know how
- 3:14Speaker 1: they say God and never put more on you than
- 3:16Speaker 1: you can bear. He won't let you go under. You know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: it's like the scripture that Bishop Alma taught me when
- 3:22Speaker 1: I was going through that traumatic thing on the internet. Man,
- 3:24Speaker 1: it was really really man trying to destroy what I
- 3:27Speaker 1: had worked for in my family, and it this new
- 3:30Speaker 1: life that God had presented me. And the devil is busy.
- 3:32Speaker 1: The devil don't like to see you happy. So here
- 3:34Speaker 1: he comes. He puts you under attack, and he comes
- 3:37Speaker 1: in and that and everything, and my kids are suffering,
- 3:39Speaker 1: but you know, here comes God. Though, see God don't
- 3:43Speaker 1: put more on you than you can bear. And Bishop
- 3:45Speaker 1: Olma sent me a scripture. He sent me Isaiah forty
- 3:49Speaker 1: three one and two. And then that scripture it says
- 3:52Speaker 1: to the effect that you can walk through the water
- 3:55Speaker 1: the rivers, and the water won't overcome you. But then
- 3:59Speaker 1: it said you can walk through the fire and you
- 4:02Speaker 1: will not get burned, nor will kindling set upon your clothing.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I learned something very valuable that day. See God sent
- 4:11Speaker 1: me through something, but he was showing me something too.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Now he didn't do it. God didn't bring that calamity
- 4:17Speaker 1: into my life because in Isaiah fifty four seventeen it
- 4:21Speaker 1: says clearly that if anyone comes against you, it will
- 4:25Speaker 1: not be my doing. Now this is what he promised
- 4:27Speaker 1: you when people come for you thought see, And this
- 4:30Speaker 1: is what I learned. That's why I have no fear
- 4:32Speaker 1: of the people coming anymore because I learned that. But
- 4:35Speaker 1: God had to send me through a traumatic experience in
- 4:38Speaker 1: order for me to learn that. You can't have a
- 4:40Speaker 1: testimony without a test you know what I'm saying. You
- 4:43Speaker 1: can't learn nothing without a lesson. So what he did
- 4:46Speaker 1: was he allowed that internet thing come across crossed into
- 4:49Speaker 1: my life. But he taught me something and Isaiah forty
- 4:52Speaker 1: three to one and two was and you can walk
- 4:54Speaker 1: through the fire and not get burned, nor what kindling
- 4:56Speaker 1: set upon your clothing. So what that said to me was,
- 5:00Speaker 1: even though you're trying to do me and it's fire
- 5:03Speaker 1: all around me, I won't burn, But when it's over,
- 5:06Speaker 1: kindling won't set upon your clothing. What that showed me
- 5:09Speaker 1: was not only would I walk through the fire and
- 5:12Speaker 1: not get burned, but there will be no signs that
- 5:15Speaker 1: I was ever in the fire. There's no signs of it.
- 5:18Speaker 1: But not hold up though now here go to park.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Though that I had to learn even though you can
- 5:24Speaker 1: walk through the fire, y'all, and even though you're being
- 5:26Speaker 1: flames and scorching all around you. If you trust him,
- 5:29Speaker 1: he ain't gonna let you burn. But now hear what
- 5:31Speaker 1: he did not say. Though, he did not say that
- 5:34Speaker 1: it was not going to be uncomfortably hot, wickedly hot
- 5:40Speaker 1: in there. He ain't say that. He just said you
- 5:43Speaker 1: won't burn, and when it's over, it won't be no
- 5:46Speaker 1: signs that you was in the fire. See what happened
- 5:48Speaker 1: to me was after they tried to destroy me. Let
- 5:50Speaker 1: me show you what God did for me. Not only
- 5:52Speaker 1: did they not accomplish what they set out to do,
- 5:55Speaker 1: but when it was through with me though, when they
- 5:58Speaker 1: was through throwing the gas, throwing the fine, throwing the
- 6:01Speaker 1: hate and writing it and lining and creating all these
- 6:05Speaker 1: names for themselves so it could look like most people
- 6:08Speaker 1: is hating when they got through it all that man,
- 6:11Speaker 1: look what he did to me. Look what he did
- 6:13Speaker 1: for me, because he taught me something that day, And
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm sharing it with you because God will do the
- 6:18Speaker 1: same thing for you. But you gotta trust him though,
- 6:22Speaker 1: You got to get in there and you got to
- 6:23Speaker 1: let him do it. You gotta let him handle it.
- 6:25Speaker 1: So just like pop Bridge is taught my wife Marjorie
- 6:28Speaker 1: just because you can do something, don't mean y'all to
- 6:31Speaker 1: do something. Yeah, you could go down there and straighten
- 6:33Speaker 1: them out, but should you though? Yeah, you can go
- 6:35Speaker 1: down there and tell them all. Yeah, you can go
- 6:37Speaker 1: down stand up and make sure they know it's your voice,
- 6:40Speaker 1: that they hear it, and you can get in their
- 6:41Speaker 1: face and make a scene. But should you though, or
- 6:44Speaker 1: should you let go and let God? So before we
- 6:49Speaker 1: run all out in the streets and somebody go out
- 6:51Speaker 1: there and do something crazy, let's hold tight. Now. I'm
- 6:53Speaker 1: not saying don't go out there, but you gotta watch
- 6:56Speaker 1: who you go out there with. But you can go
- 6:58Speaker 1: down there with peace in your heart. I decide I'm
- 7:00Speaker 1: gonna throw a brick through here and bust a window.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Hold up, partner, Hold up. That ain't what we're down
- 7:04Speaker 1: here doing. So See, sometimes, man, you gotta let go,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and you gotta let God. You gotta let God have
- 7:09Speaker 1: situations sometimes, and you get in there and do the
- 7:12Speaker 1: things that he tell you to do. See bish Bowman
- 7:15Speaker 1: and taught me a lot. He had another book out
- 7:16Speaker 1: and he said, uh, you know, knowing God's Voice or
- 7:19Speaker 1: something like that. I'm not sure the title, but I
- 7:22Speaker 1: never really knew the definition of how do you know
- 7:24Speaker 1: it's God's voice talking to you? Well, he clearly made
- 7:28Speaker 1: a statement. God's voice has no sining in it. Whenever
- 7:33Speaker 1: you're talking about I'm gonna go, I'm gonna show him,
- 7:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna get him back. If it's sining in it,
- 7:38Speaker 1: God ain't in it. See that's you now. God's voice
- 7:42Speaker 1: has no sining in it. So when you say God
- 7:45Speaker 1: told me, be careful, because God ain't never told you
- 7:49Speaker 1: to go do nothing wrong, that ain't what he told you.
- 7:52Speaker 1: And I learned that too. It's a lot, so I'm
- 7:55Speaker 1: just sharing today. I hope it helps somebody today get
- 7:58Speaker 1: through a difficult time because it show has helped me.
