- 0:06Speaker 1: everybody you are listening to the voice, come on now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: dig me one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Thank God for it all the time. Too.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Well, here we go today. I want to share something
- 0:20Speaker 3: with you that will help you because it's helped me.
- 0:25Speaker 2: You know. I was.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Telling the story once that in this magazine called Rob Report,
- 0:33Speaker 3: that there was a statue I used to see for years.
- 0:36Speaker 3: I started buying Rob Report magazines years ago. So I
- 0:42Speaker 3: just wanted to see what affluent people did, you know,
- 0:45Speaker 3: just wanted to see what people with means did, what
- 0:49Speaker 3: type of investments they did, what they bought, you know,
- 0:52Speaker 3: where they traveled. To the Rob Report, it's just like
- 0:54Speaker 3: a it's like a big boy toy magazine. You can
- 0:58Speaker 3: see what cars as I. I didn't have money for
- 1:01Speaker 3: none of it. Just I was dreaming though, you know,
- 1:03Speaker 3: I just wanted to see. And there was a statue
- 1:08Speaker 3: inside this magazine of this man who was coming out
- 1:13Speaker 3: of this bronze rock. And he was completely bronzed and
- 1:17Speaker 3: he was muscular, and you know, he didn't look nothing
- 1:21Speaker 3: like me, but he was a man coming up out
- 1:23Speaker 3: of a rock and he had a huge hammer and
- 1:25Speaker 3: a chisel in his hand, and as his body from
- 1:29Speaker 3: the waist up was coming out of this huge piece
- 1:31Speaker 3: of stone, you could see where it was him who
- 1:34Speaker 3: had been chiseling informing himself. So the name of the
- 1:38Speaker 3: statue was self made man. And for years man I said, Man,
- 1:43Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a big house one day, and I'm
- 1:44Speaker 3: gonna put that statue in the backyard in the corner.
- 1:48Speaker 3: That's gonna be my little spot where I go chill,
- 1:51Speaker 3: because I'm a self made man. Well, after years of
- 1:55Speaker 3: working at becoming somebody and having reached a degree of success,
- 2:05Speaker 3: I would have nothing to do with that statue. There's
- 2:09Speaker 3: nothing about that statue that appeals to me anymore. Because
- 2:13Speaker 3: on my journey and in my quest to become what
- 2:16Speaker 3: I thought would be this self made man, where I
- 2:20Speaker 3: could put this statue and had this statue in the
- 2:23Speaker 3: corner be kind of cold symbolizing it, I had made it.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I realized on my journey there's no such thing as
- 2:30Speaker 3: a self made man. That we all need help, and
- 2:34Speaker 3: that God places people in our paths along the way
- 2:39Speaker 3: that benefit us oftentimes, and it's the most unlikely person
- 2:44Speaker 3: often times, and this is the most unlikely way that
- 2:47Speaker 3: he presents these people in front of you.
- 2:49Speaker 2: It's crazy how he does it. Man.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And so this is a statue now that I look
- 2:54Speaker 3: at and I go, I see what the creator was saying.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And that's cool, but not for me, because I needed help.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And I've learned a lot of things like this along
- 3:06Speaker 3: the way. And the part I wanted to share with
- 3:10Speaker 3: you all about this is you've got to develop. You've
- 3:14Speaker 3: got to develop a sense of purpose. You have to
- 3:18Speaker 3: develop a sense of purpose. That's different. See, your purpose
- 3:25Speaker 3: is created for you by God because when he created
- 3:31Speaker 3: you as an individual from whatever two parents you may have,
- 3:34Speaker 3: that's not important here. When he created you, he had
- 3:39Speaker 3: something in mind for you, and it was a purpose.
- 3:43Speaker 3: God has not created a single soul to become a criminal.
- 3:48Speaker 3: God has never created a single soul to be a
- 3:50Speaker 3: drug dealer. This came about through some decisions we made
- 3:56Speaker 3: as sinners, and we stayed in that place. But see
- 4:01Speaker 3: what He created us. He has a wonderful idea for us.
- 4:05Speaker 3: But God gives us human beings this thing called choice,
- 4:08Speaker 3: and we have the power to decide. So you can
- 4:11Speaker 3: decide if you're going to adhere to the purpose that
- 4:14Speaker 3: God created you and made you for or you can
- 4:17Speaker 3: go ahead and make some choices on your own. So like,
- 4:21Speaker 3: if God wanted to give you a life and give
- 4:23Speaker 3: it to come to you and give you life more abundantly,
- 4:26Speaker 3: and that's his promise. If you come to him, if
- 4:28Speaker 3: you choose him, then cool. But if you say, well
- 4:32Speaker 3: this ain't moving along fast enough, I'm gonna get my
- 4:35Speaker 3: own life of abundance, I'm gonna start slinging. Well, guess
- 4:38Speaker 3: what now, Tada, You made a decision and seek God's
- 4:44Speaker 3: decisions and choices. The one thing I learned about them,
- 4:47Speaker 3: God's decisions, choices, his voice, it has no sin in it.
- 4:51Speaker 3: And it amazing how many people it came up to
- 4:53Speaker 3: you and said, the Lord wanted me to do this
- 4:55Speaker 3: to you, and I'm doing it. That God is punishing you,
- 4:57Speaker 3: and I'm doing this to you because God see that
- 5:00Speaker 3: you get your day. Who is this person? Who is
- 5:04Speaker 3: this person that God all of a sudden gave this
- 5:07Speaker 3: authority and power to God? I didn't get at the nobody, man, nobody,
- 5:12Speaker 3: this person only have the right to hold you to
- 5:14Speaker 3: your past, the right to make you pay. So who
- 5:18Speaker 3: makes them pay when they make mistakes? Because they all
- 5:21Speaker 3: make them. So when I say you have to have
- 5:24Speaker 3: a sense of you have to develop a strong sense
- 5:27Speaker 3: of purpose. That means you have to strongly get in
- 5:29Speaker 3: touch with your creator to find out what the purpose
- 5:32Speaker 3: you were created for. See, it's two things that I
- 5:36Speaker 3: had to learn along the way. My career was what
- 5:39Speaker 3: I was paid for. My calling is what I was
- 5:44Speaker 3: made for. See, it's two different things, folks. It took
- 5:48Speaker 3: me a long time to learn it. Some people think
- 5:52Speaker 3: that they calling is to be a performer. Well, that's
- 5:55Speaker 3: what you paid for, and a big part of your
- 5:58Speaker 3: life is your performances, how directly to your gift. But
- 6:02Speaker 3: what you made for, though, what you made for is
- 6:05Speaker 3: to bring about some significant change in another human beings
- 6:09Speaker 3: lives because we are all linked together in this chain.
- 6:13Speaker 2: That's what you are here for.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Everybody has a purpose to do something wonderful, meaningful, or
- 6:20Speaker 3: impactful for another person. You think the God that invented
- 6:24Speaker 3: the airplane was merely inventing the airplane so he could fly. Now,
- 6:30Speaker 3: his purpose was to become an inventor, to come up
- 6:34Speaker 3: with this invention.
- 6:35Speaker 2: So he could fly and we all fly. See. Sometimes
- 6:39Speaker 2: God will make you successful so.
- 6:41Speaker 3: You can become successful, so you can turn around to
- 6:43Speaker 3: teach other people how to become successful. God save people,
- 6:47Speaker 3: so you can turn around it tell other people how
- 6:49Speaker 3: wonderful it is to be saved. You see how this
- 6:52Speaker 3: thing work. That's what we have to do as people.
- 6:56Speaker 3: And it's nothing that we have to go and discover.
- 6:59Speaker 3: We have to go and dives little bit. But if
- 7:00Speaker 3: you haven't discovered your purpose, it's simply because here's it.
- 7:05Speaker 3: If you haven't discovered your purpose, it's simply because you
- 7:10Speaker 3: have not contacted the creator and maker of your soul
- 7:15Speaker 3: to ask and find out why you were created. It's
- 7:22Speaker 3: as simple as that. If you buy a Toyota, there's
- 7:28Speaker 3: an owner's manual on the inside that will tell you
- 7:32Speaker 3: everything you know, how to best operate your toyota, how
- 7:36Speaker 3: to make it work, what to do.
- 7:39Speaker 2: They got a troubleshooting section. Your faith is the.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Same thing as an owner's manual in your car. Open
- 7:47Speaker 3: up that book, man, find out how to jumpstart your life,
- 7:51Speaker 3: how to troubleshoot it and get on with your life
- 7:54Speaker 3: and find out your purpose and develop a strong sense
- 7:57Speaker 3: of purpose.
- 7:58Speaker 2: All right, okay, here list the Steve Harvey Morning Show
