- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a
- 0:14Speaker 1: radio show.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Do you understand that I'm telling you God been big
- 0:19Speaker 2: in my life. God, God is a gentleman, you know.
- 0:22Speaker 2: I want to I want to point that out to you.
- 0:25Speaker 2: God is an absolute gentleman. He will not come in
- 0:30Speaker 2: unless he's invited. He don't just barge into your life.
- 0:36Speaker 2: He gives us the power of choice. You know, if
- 0:40Speaker 2: you say you got it, I don't need you, he
- 0:42Speaker 2: lets you have it. If you say I need you,
- 0:46Speaker 2: come see about me.
- 0:47Speaker 3: He right there.
- 0:48Speaker 2: It's just a real simple thing, man. So always say
- 0:53Speaker 2: to people this, if you've gotten yourself into something, and
- 0:58Speaker 2: please know I have.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I man see that.
- 1:03Speaker 2: That's why I'm so adamant about it, because I've gotten
- 1:06Speaker 2: myself in some circumstances and positions in my life. Well,
- 1:10Speaker 2: I've been, I've been. I've had some low moments. Man,
- 1:14Speaker 2: I've had some moments where I did not know what
- 1:17Speaker 2: to do. I didn't know what was next, I didn't
- 1:22Speaker 2: know how to go about it. I didn't have no
- 1:24Speaker 2: more ideas. I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well,
- 1:33Speaker 2: might not make it past this one. But then if
- 1:36Speaker 2: I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And
- 1:39Speaker 2: then I held on to this little thing that my
- 1:42Speaker 2: mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes some
- 1:45Speaker 2: when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope,
- 1:49Speaker 2: she said, just hope it'll be all right, you know.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And what I've learned in my life is that hope
- 1:55Speaker 2: is the beginning of faith. Hope is just is their
- 2:00Speaker 2: possibility out there for me. I show hope, something happened.
- 2:07Speaker 2: See hope is okay, man, Because like I say, for me,
- 2:12Speaker 2: the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
- 2:15Speaker 2: of faith.
- 2:16Speaker 3: It was just the idea.
- 2:18Speaker 2: It's just the thought that something could change for me,
- 2:21Speaker 2: that something could be a little bit different from me,
- 2:24Speaker 2: that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
- 2:30Speaker 2: be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around.
- 2:36Speaker 3: It could hit any other direction. Maybe I can quit
- 2:40Speaker 3: messing up.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Maybe somebody will forgive me, maybe somebody will just say
- 2:46Speaker 2: all right. I don't know, but I can't count the
- 2:49Speaker 2: times I've been in that position. But then once I
- 2:54Speaker 2: hope a little bit, and then I remember also my
- 2:56Speaker 2: mother because she was a Sunday school teacher. Me the
- 3:00Speaker 2: most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life. Nothing
- 3:03Speaker 2: has been greater in my life than my faith. She
- 3:07Speaker 2: taught me to pray. Mama used to say, when it
- 3:10Speaker 2: get real, dog for your son, prayer change is things,
- 3:15Speaker 2: she said. When you seem like you lost and you
- 3:18Speaker 2: can't find your way, stop and pray, she said, because
- 3:23Speaker 2: prayer change is things. You know, when you get a
- 3:26Speaker 2: point in your life when you've done all you can
- 3:27Speaker 2: do and you can't do no more, and you just
- 3:29Speaker 2: don't know what to do next, she said, stop, son,
- 3:33Speaker 2: pray and combine that prayer with that hope that you got,
- 3:41Speaker 2: she said, because that hope is the beginning of faith,
- 3:45Speaker 2: she said. If you pray just hoping, she said, to
- 3:49Speaker 2: God come through for you. That'll give you confidence that
- 3:52Speaker 2: he can do it again. And then after a while
- 3:55Speaker 2: you quit hoping, she saying, you start believing, she said,
- 4:00Speaker 2: And that's when you're on to something. If you can
- 4:03Speaker 2: turn that hope into belief, that hope into Faith's that's
- 4:14Speaker 2: the ability to believe in something that you can't see.
- 4:18Speaker 2: But the key though the faith is you're believing in
- 4:22Speaker 2: something that you can't see. See hoping a little bit
- 4:26Speaker 2: different from me. Now, I'm pretty sure. Like I say,
- 4:28Speaker 2: oftentimes I tell a lot of people who can explain
- 4:30Speaker 2: this thing a lot better than I can to you,
- 4:33Speaker 2: hope is just kind of I don't know how to
- 4:35Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it. But I'm just
- 4:37Speaker 2: telling you.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Hope is.
- 4:38Speaker 2: You're just hoping it work right. You just have a
- 4:41Speaker 2: thought in your mind that you know, Man, whoever you are,
- 4:45Speaker 2: or whoever you are, whatever you are to me God,
- 4:49Speaker 2: I show hope something change.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Hope helps. Man.
- 4:53Speaker 2: If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope, hope,
- 5:00Speaker 2: and then if you pray with some hope and God
- 5:03Speaker 2: answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence,
- 5:09Speaker 2: and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now the
- 5:15Speaker 2: ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something
- 5:19Speaker 2: that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to
- 5:27Speaker 2: my entire existence, even.
- 5:30Speaker 3: When I didn't have any.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It was faith, as I look back on it, that
- 5:37Speaker 2: has gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See,
- 5:45Speaker 2: you will only get to where you're going in your
- 5:48Speaker 2: life based on your faith. See a lot of people
- 5:55Speaker 2: get the word faith confused, like what's your faith? And
- 5:58Speaker 2: then they start going down this whole list of all
- 6:00Speaker 2: these different religions out here. But really an essence, man,
- 6:05Speaker 2: when I talk to people about faith, I'm talking to
- 6:07Speaker 2: you about your your belief.
- 6:12Speaker 3: How much do you believe in the unseen? See? Faith
- 6:18Speaker 3: is the core of all that is happening to me today.
- 6:24Speaker 2: It is the faith that I have in my relationship
- 6:27Speaker 2: with God that enables me to just oftentimes if I
- 6:33Speaker 2: stay on the right course and believe a certain way
- 6:36Speaker 2: and act a certain way, his blessings just poor. They
- 6:42Speaker 2: just come. And it comes in a lot of little
- 6:45Speaker 2: ways too. I've started to notice, See it ain't just
- 6:48Speaker 2: a lot of people think blessings is money. Nah, man,
- 6:51Speaker 2: that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plane
- 6:55Speaker 2: lands safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and
- 7:00Speaker 2: now get up in the sky and it don't be
- 7:02Speaker 2: no bad weather. You know, this is this is favor.
- 7:07Speaker 2: These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody
- 7:10Speaker 2: call me and offer me something, not money, but an opportunity.
- 7:17Speaker 3: See, blessings come a lot of ways.
- 7:20Speaker 2: But once you tie in to God, once you tie
- 7:24Speaker 2: in and you start doing the best you can do,
- 7:27Speaker 2: and you start asking for him to make you a
- 7:30Speaker 2: better person, to help shape and mold you into the
- 7:33Speaker 2: kind of man or person that he wants you to be.
- 7:37Speaker 2: You be amazed what God can do with you, man,
- 7:40Speaker 2: if you just invite me in and allow him to
- 7:43Speaker 2: be a part of your life. I mean, what you
- 7:45Speaker 2: got to lose out there? Come on, why would you
- 7:48Speaker 2: not change? Why would you not allow God to be
- 7:51Speaker 2: a part of your life. God got some big plans
- 7:54Speaker 2: for you. If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up.
