- 0:07Speaker 1: are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a
- 0:14Speaker 1: radio show. Do you understand that I'm telling you God
- 0:18Speaker 1: been big in my life. God, God is a gentleman,
- 0:21Speaker 1: you know. I want to I want to point that
- 0:23Speaker 1: out to you. God is an absolute gentleman. He will
- 0:28Speaker 1: not come in unless he's invited. He don't just barge
- 0:34Speaker 1: into your life. He gives us the power of choice.
- 0:39Speaker 1: You know, if you say you got it, I don't
- 0:41Speaker 1: need you, he lets you have it. If you say
- 0:44Speaker 1: I need you, come see about me.
- 0:46Speaker 2: He right there. It's just a real simple thing, man.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself
- 0:55Speaker 1: into something, and please know I have.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I I man see that.
- 1:02Speaker 1: That's why I'm so adamant about it, because I've gotten
- 1:05Speaker 1: myself in some circumstances and positions in my life. Well,
- 1:10Speaker 1: I've been, I've been. I've had some low moments. Man,
- 1:13Speaker 1: I've had some moments where I did not know what
- 1:17Speaker 1: to do. I didn't know what was next, I didn't
- 1:21Speaker 1: know how to go about it. I didn't have no
- 1:24Speaker 1: more ideas. I was stuck I thought a couple of times, well,
- 1:32Speaker 1: might not make it past this one. But then if
- 1:36Speaker 1: I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And
- 1:39Speaker 1: then I held on to this little thing that my
- 1:41Speaker 1: mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes some
- 1:45Speaker 1: when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope,
- 1:49Speaker 1: she said, just hope it'll be all right, you know.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And what I've learned in my life is that hope
- 1:55Speaker 1: is the beginning of faith. Hope is just is there
- 2:00Speaker 1: possibility out there for me? I show hope, something happened.
- 2:06Speaker 1: See hope is okay, man, Because like I say, for me,
- 2:12Speaker 1: the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
- 2:15Speaker 1: of faith.
- 2:15Speaker 2: It was just the idea.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It's just the thought that something could change for me,
- 2:21Speaker 1: that something could be a little bit different from me,
- 2:24Speaker 1: that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
- 2:30Speaker 1: be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around,
- 2:36Speaker 1: it could hit any other direction.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Maybe I could quit messing up.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Maybe somebody will forgive me, maybe somebody will just say
- 2:45Speaker 1: all right. I don't know, but I can't count the
- 2:49Speaker 1: times I've been in that position. But then once I
- 2:53Speaker 1: hope a little bit, and then I remember, also my mother.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Because she was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me
- 2:59Speaker 1: the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith.
- 3:06Speaker 1: She taught me to pray. Mama used to say, when
- 3:10Speaker 1: it get real, dog for your son, prayer changes things.
- 3:14Speaker 2: She said.
- 3:15Speaker 1: When you seem like you lost and you can't find
- 3:18Speaker 1: your way, stop and pray, she said, because prayer change
- 3:23Speaker 1: is things. You know, when you get a point in
- 3:25Speaker 1: your life when you've done all you can do and
- 3:27Speaker 1: you can't do no more, and you just don't know
- 3:30Speaker 1: what to do next, she says, stop, son, pray and
- 3:36Speaker 1: combine that prayer with that hope that you got, she said,
- 3:41Speaker 1: because that hope is the beginning of faith.
- 3:44Speaker 2: She said.
- 3:44Speaker 1: If you pray just hoping, she said, to God come
- 3:49Speaker 1: through for you. That'll give you confidence that he can
- 3:52Speaker 1: do it again. And then after a while you quit hoping,
- 3:57Speaker 1: she saying, you start believing, say, and that's when you're
- 4:00Speaker 1: on to something. If you can turn that hope into belief,
- 4:08Speaker 1: that hope into faith, that's that's the ability to believe
- 4:16Speaker 1: in something that you can't see. But the key though
- 4:19Speaker 1: the faith is you're believing in something that you can't see.
- 4:24Speaker 1: See hoping a little bit different from me. Now, I'm
- 4:26Speaker 1: pretty sure. Like I say oftentimes to tell a lot
- 4:29Speaker 1: of people who can explain this thing a lot better
- 4:31Speaker 1: than I can to you, hope is just kind of.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I don't know how to I don't know how to
- 4:36Speaker 2: say it. But I'm just telling you. Hope is.
- 4:38Speaker 1: You're just hoping it work right. You just have a
- 4:40Speaker 1: thought in your mind that you know, Man, whoever you are,
- 4:45Speaker 1: or whoever you are, whatever you are to me God,
- 4:48Speaker 1: I show hope something change. Hope helps.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Man.
- 4:53Speaker 1: If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope, hope,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and then if you pray with some hope and God
- 5:03Speaker 1: answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence,
- 5:09Speaker 1: and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now I
- 5:15Speaker 1: ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something
- 5:19Speaker 1: that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to
- 5:27Speaker 1: my entire existence, even when I didn't.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Have any.
- 5:33Speaker 1: It was faith, as I look back on it, that
- 5:37Speaker 1: has gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See,
- 5:45Speaker 1: you will only get to where you're going in your
- 5:48Speaker 1: life based on your faith. See a lot of people
- 5:54Speaker 1: get the word faith confused, like what's your faith? And
- 5:57Speaker 1: then they start going down this whole list of all
- 6:00Speaker 1: these different religions out here. But really an essence, man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: when I talk to people about faith, I'm talking to
- 6:07Speaker 1: you about your your belief.
- 6:12Speaker 2: How much do you believe in the unseen? See?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Faith is the core of all that is happening to
- 6:21Speaker 1: me today. It is the faith that I have in
- 6:25Speaker 1: my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes
- 6:32Speaker 1: if I stay on the right course and believe a
- 6:35Speaker 1: certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.
- 6:41Speaker 1: They just come. And it comes in a lot of
- 6:44Speaker 1: little ways too. I've started to notice. See, it ain't
- 6:48Speaker 1: just a lot of people think blessings is money, Nah, man,
- 6:51Speaker 1: that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
- 6:55Speaker 1: lands safe. It's every time they predict bad wealth that
- 7:00Speaker 1: I get up in the sky and it don't be
- 7:01Speaker 1: no bad wather. You know this is this is favor.
- 7:06Speaker 1: These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
- 7:10Speaker 1: call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity.
- 7:16Speaker 2: See, blessings come a lot of ways. But once you.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Tie in to God, once you tie in and you
- 7:24Speaker 1: start doing the best you can do, and you start
- 7:27Speaker 1: asking for him to make you a better person, to
- 7:31Speaker 1: help shape and mold you into the kind of man
- 7:34Speaker 1: or person that he wants you to be. You be
- 7:37Speaker 1: amazed what God can do with you, man, if you
- 7:40Speaker 1: just invite me in and allow him to be a
- 7:42Speaker 1: part of your life.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I mean, what you got to lose out there? Come on, why.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Would you not change? Why would you not allow God
- 7:51Speaker 1: to be a part of your life. God got some
- 7:53Speaker 1: big plans for you. If he didn't, you wouldn't keep
- 7:56Speaker 1: waking up.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
