• 0:31
  Speaker 2: God does things for me just right on time. He's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: so cool with it. And I happen to run across
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Joel Osteen on television, like I often do all the time.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And I was sitting there and he had such a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: timely message for me. A part of it was something
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that I've said oftentimes about. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: He said that when you get closer to it, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: more difficult it becomes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: He said, the closer you get to what it is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you want or you need or you have to have
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: or you would love to be, it gets a little
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: bit more difficult when you get closer. He told this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: story that's in the Bible that I'd never heard before.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: This is what he said. He said there was a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: man who was paralyzed and he had heard that Jesus
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was speaking at a house. And so he wanted to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: get there. So he convinced four of his friends to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: put him on a stretcher and carry him for hours
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to get to this house where Jesus was speaking. He
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: said that along the way, these friends said that that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: they went along because he has so much faith that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if he could just get to him, it could be
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: better that he could, if he could just get over
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there and he could.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: See him, that he might have a shot at getting healed.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And so he said they took out along the way
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and they walked and they walked and they walked for hours.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And then when they got there, the house was completely
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: filled with people. There was absolute, it was packed wall
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to wall. There was absolutely no way for the men
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to get him on that stretcher in to see Jesus.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: This is a story that, uh, Joel Osteen said is
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in the Bible and we was telling it. No, I'm
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: just repeating the parts of it. I got gathered. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: so he said, they sat there and they went, wow, man,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: we walked all this way and it's full.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And we can't get there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He said, and then the guy with the affliction told
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the four men, if you get up on the roof
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and cut a hole in it and lower me down,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I bet I could see him then and I bet
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it'll be all right. Now, he then said, you must
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: imagine how these four men must have felt.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: When you carry somebody for hours.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: On the way they had to carry, some cloth connected
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: by a couple of sticks, said the men's shoulders had
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to be bruised, had to have deep gouges in them,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not cuts, but just indentations where they had carried the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: weight of this grown man for so many hours. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they looked at him in disbelief, like, man, what are
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you talking about? We done walked all this far. He said, yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: but if you get up on that roof and you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: cut a hole in it, And lower me down.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I could see him. And when he see me. It'll
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: be alright.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: After sitting there. And imploring the men. They went up
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and did just that. And in the story. That Joel
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Osteen said. The man was healed. But the point he
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was making was. He was saying that. The closer you get.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: To what it is you really want. The more difficult
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it's going to become. But you've got to push through.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So if you don't push through, you never know. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you can't get right to the answer. And because it
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: gets really difficult, start creating those little sayings that we
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: got as people. Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. No, man, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: guess you should not give up right now. I guess
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you should keep pressing. I guess you should do more
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: because see in all of us, in all of us,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: when you've had enough, I want you to know something.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You do have a little bit more in all of us.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You can do one more.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know, that's one of my favorite things that I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: heard Joel Osteen said, and it kind of made me
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: feel good. He said, I always feel like I can
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: do one more anything. And I tell my friends all
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the time, I can do one moment. I could do
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: one more day. I can do one more anything. Now,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: here was the jewel that I never really knew that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Joel Osteen and God sent to me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I needed to hear.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: He said that no matter what you're going through, no
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: matter how long the challenges you've been facing, God has
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: an end date for it all.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: No matter what you're going through, no matter what challenge
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you're facing, no matter what situation you've gotten yourself into,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: God has an ending date. All you got to do
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is keep pressing forward. All you got to do is
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: hang in there. All you got to do is don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: give up. All you have to do is don't turn back.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: There is an end date for all of it. even
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: when you think you've had enough and boy, have I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: had this conversation with God on several things that I've
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: been going through and I'm go, I've even told him, look,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I got it, man. He said, just keep hanging on.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: There is an end date to whatever it is you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: going to. There's an end date to your illness, your sickness, your,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: You're tired of being tired. There's an end date to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: this relationship that you can't seem to get through beyond over.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That's like a cancer to you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: There's an end date, but you've got to hang in there.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You've got to keep pushing forward. You cannot turn around.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: You must not go back because when God gets you
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: through this, And you break through to the other side.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: The reward and the benefit is far greater than the struggle.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I oftentimes look at some of the things that God
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: has brought me through in my worst times. And when
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he brought me through, I went, wow, man, now that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I understand that, now that I'm on the other side
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and I have the benefit of the reward for it,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: would you do it all again to get there?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
