- 0:10Speaker 1: and only Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a radio show.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Do you understand that I'm telling you? God been big
- 0:18Speaker 1: in my life. I'm not gonna kid you. I'm telling you,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and He'll do the same thing for you. God. God
- 0:25Speaker 1: is a gentleman, you know. I want to I want
- 0:27Speaker 1: to point that out to you. God is an absolute gentleman.
- 0:32Speaker 1: He will not come in unless he's invited. He don't
- 0:37Speaker 1: just barge into your life. He gives us the power
- 0:41Speaker 1: of choice. You know. If you say you got it,
- 0:45Speaker 1: I don't need you, he lets you have it. If
- 0:48Speaker 1: you say I need you, come see about me. He
- 0:51Speaker 1: right there. It's just a real simple thing, man. So
- 0:56Speaker 1: always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself in
- 0:59Speaker 1: the something, and please know I have. I I was stuck.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I thought a couple of times, well might not make
- 1:12Speaker 1: it past this one. But then if I don't make
- 1:15Speaker 1: it past it, what's gonna happen? And then I held
- 1:19Speaker 1: on to this little thing that my mother kept talking
- 1:21Speaker 1: to me about. She said, sometimes some when you ain't
- 1:25Speaker 1: got nothing else in you, just hope. She said, just
- 1:29Speaker 1: hope It'll be all right, you know. And what I've
- 1:32Speaker 1: learned in my life is that hope is the beginning
- 1:35Speaker 1: of faith. Hope is just is their possibility out there
- 1:41Speaker 1: for me. I show hope, something happened. See hope. Hope
- 1:48Speaker 1: is okay, man, Because like I say, for me, the
- 1:52Speaker 1: way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning of faith.
- 1:55Speaker 1: It was just the idea. It's just the thought that
- 1:59Speaker 1: something could change for me, that something could be a
- 2:02Speaker 1: little bit different from me, that maybe, man, just maybe
- 2:07Speaker 1: for some reason, I could be saved, I could be rescued,
- 2:11Speaker 1: things could turn around, it could hit any other direction.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Maybe I can quit messing up. Maybe somebody will forgive me,
- 2:20Speaker 1: Maybe somebody will will just say all right. I don't know,
- 2:23Speaker 1: but I can't count the times I've been in that position.
- 2:27Speaker 1: But then once I hope a little bit, and then
- 2:29Speaker 1: I remember also my mother, because she was a Sunday
- 2:32Speaker 1: school teacher, she taught me the most valuable lesson I've
- 2:35Speaker 1: ever learned in my life. Nothing has been greater in
- 2:39Speaker 1: my life than my faith. She taught me to pray.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Mama used to say, when it get real, dog for
- 2:44Speaker 1: your son, prayer change is things, she say, when you
- 2:47Speaker 1: seem like you lost and you can't find your way,
- 2:51Speaker 1: stop and pray, she said, because prayer change is things.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You know, when you get a point in your life
- 2:58Speaker 1: when you've done all you can do and you can't
- 3:00Speaker 1: do no more and you just don't know what to
- 3:02Speaker 1: do next, she says, stop sh pray and combine that
- 3:08Speaker 1: prayer with that hope that you got, she said, because
- 3:12Speaker 1: that hope is to beginning of faith, she said. If
- 3:15Speaker 1: you pray just hoping, she saying, to God come through
- 3:18Speaker 1: for you. That'll give you confidence that he can do
- 3:21Speaker 1: it again. And then after a while, you quit hoping,
- 3:25Speaker 1: she's saying, you start believing. She saying, that's when you're
- 3:27Speaker 1: on to something. If you can turn that hope into belief,
- 3:32Speaker 1: that hope into faith, the ability to believe in something
- 3:37Speaker 1: that you can't see. But the key though the faith
- 3:40Speaker 1: is you're believing in something that you can't see see
- 3:45Speaker 1: hoping a little bit different from me now, I'm pretty sure,
- 3:47Speaker 1: like I say, oftentimes to tell a lot of people
- 3:49Speaker 1: who can explain this thing a lot better than I
- 3:52Speaker 1: can to you. But just from my side of it,
- 3:55Speaker 1: being as real as I can be, rich you See,
- 3:58Speaker 1: hope helps. Man. If you ain't strong enough to have faith,
- 4:01Speaker 1: have hope, and then if you pray with some hope
- 4:05Speaker 1: and God answers your prayer, then that hope gains a
- 4:08Speaker 1: little confidence, and after a while that confidence becomes faith.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Now I ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing
- 4:18Speaker 1: in something that I cannot see. Faith has been the
- 4:24Speaker 1: key to my entire existence, even when I didn't have
- 4:29Speaker 1: any It was faith, as I look back on it,
- 4:33Speaker 1: that has gotten me here, and not just faith, but
- 4:37Speaker 1: my faith. See, you will only get to where you're
- 4:41Speaker 1: going in your life based on it, your faith. See.
- 4:46Speaker 1: A lot of people get the word faith confused, like
- 4:49Speaker 1: what's your faith? And then they start going down this
- 4:52Speaker 1: whole list of all these different religions out here. But
- 4:55Speaker 1: really an essence, man, when I talk to people about faith,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I'm talking to you your belief. How much do you
- 5:05Speaker 1: believe in the unseen? How much do you believe in
- 5:09Speaker 1: the things you can't see? How much do you believe
- 5:12Speaker 1: in the impossible? How much do you believe see? Because
- 5:18Speaker 1: faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Faith is the core of all that is happening to me. Today.
- 5:30Speaker 1: It is the faith that I have in my relationship
- 5:32Speaker 1: with God that enables me to just oftentimes, if I
- 5:39Speaker 1: stay on the right course and believe a certain way
- 5:42Speaker 1: and act a certain way, his blessings just poor. They
- 5:48Speaker 1: just come. And it comes in a lot of little
- 5:51Speaker 1: ways too. I've started to notice, see it ain't just
- 5:54Speaker 1: a lot of people think blessings is money. Nah, man,
- 5:57Speaker 1: that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
- 6:01Speaker 1: lands safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and
- 6:06Speaker 1: I get up in the sky and it don't be
- 6:08Speaker 1: no bad weather. You know, this is this is favor.
- 6:13Speaker 1: These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
- 6:16Speaker 1: call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity,
- 6:21Speaker 1: you know. Somebody say, hey, man, I don't know, but
- 6:25Speaker 1: I sent this to you. I thought you might be
- 6:27Speaker 1: interested in it. Somebody will send me a scripture, or
- 6:30Speaker 1: somebody will send me something that's favor, and it always
- 6:35Speaker 1: comes at a time when I need it the most.
- 6:38Speaker 1: That's favor that's pouring out blessings. Now. I'm also the
- 6:43Speaker 1: recipient of a lot of other blessings too. You know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man, I've
- 6:50Speaker 1: been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've been
- 6:55Speaker 1: blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts responsibility. See,
- 7:01Speaker 1: blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie
- 7:05Speaker 1: in to God, once you tie in and you start
- 7:10Speaker 1: doing the best you can do, and you start asking
- 7:13Speaker 1: for Him to make you a better person, to help
- 7:16Speaker 1: shape and mold you into the kind of man or
- 7:19Speaker 1: person that he wants you to be. You be amazed
- 7:23Speaker 1: what God can do with you. Man, if you just
- 7:25Speaker 1: invite me in and allow him to be a part
- 7:28Speaker 1: of your life. I mean, what you got to lose
- 7:30Speaker 1: out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell
- 7:33Speaker 1: this morning, why would you not change? You have a
