Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the day.
This is Tuesday, the day, yeah day. In closing today,
I want to talk about something I want to impress
upon people, Uh, the importance of faith. I was talking
(00:23):
about it yesterday, but the difference between faith without works
is dead. And this conversation I had with a young man,
so today I just wanted to continue, but I wanted
to talk to everybody out there about the significance and
the importance of faith. Look, we live in such a
world today that it's almost not cool to talk about
(00:46):
your faith because of ig and Facebook and you know
all these social media everybody works for likes and approval
and comments and followers and and all of this, and
nobody really talks about how cool it is to be
a person of faith. But it really really is, man
(01:11):
And because it gives you a place of protection when
you have faith, it gives you a place to go
when you need direction. It just gives you an edge.
I found. Well, Steve, what do you mean by edge? Well,
it's very simple. I can use myself as the best example.
(01:35):
People who have followed me on the radio show for
any number of years. I've had radio fans for over
twenty one years, have followed me everywhere I've gone on
the radio. Shirley and Tommy and Carla and Junior and
all of us, you know, followed us for years at
one point in time. You've seen my missteps get played
(01:58):
out publicly. You've seen some mistakes I've made get played
out publicly. You seen me had to stand in the
face of fire publicly. I don't think there's a person
that has followed my career has not seen me face
(02:20):
public scrutiny and all of these things that I've had
to face. I want to tell you something. I was
able to get through it because I didn't face any
of it alone. I happened to be a person of faith.
I happened to be a child of God as and
so are you. And the fact that I'm willing to
(02:43):
acknowledge that gives me a certain amount of strength that
some people can't seem to muster because they seem to
be in this thing all by themselves. But if you're
a person of faith, you're not in it by yourself.
See the attacks that I've been under and just attack me,
You attack a child of God. I'm one of his children,
(03:06):
and I'm here to tell you that you are too,
that you can reside under the protection of His wings,
that you don't have to stand out there and feel
like it's just you and you all alone by yourself,
because you're not. He promised to be with you in
the worst of times, in the best of times, when
you can call on nobody else, you can call on
(03:28):
your faith. I've done it time and time again. I'm
a living witness to the fact that God is ever present.
That I don't care what you get yourself into. You
ain't gotten yourself into nothing. God can't get you out of.
I don't care what it is you going through. You
ain't going through nothing that God don't have the ability
to pull you through. Steve Harvey is a living witness
(03:51):
to that. I'm just talking to you about faith, man,
so you can get back to being cool with being
a person of faith. Don't worry about what them they
say are saying. Don't worry about what them haters say.
They have no say so in your life unless you
give it to them, and I don't. I don't give
the Internet no power over me. I don't give social
(04:12):
media no power over me. You can take to swipe
at me if you want to, I'm not going to respond.
I have learned to be still to let him do
the battle for me. That's hard sometimes because you know
you can correct it with this remark or with that remark,
(04:33):
or you could think that you could put something out there.
But let me tell you something, when you respond to
these people, you're not doing yourself any good. When you
respond to these people. You know why because for people
who love you, no explanation necessary, but for people who
hate you, no explanation acceptable. I don't kill what you
say to a hater. If they've made up in their
(04:55):
mind to hate, there's nothing you can do. But can
I tell you something, it's nothing they can do either.
They can't do nothing to you that God don't allow
to happen. And if God allows some of this to
get through, it's only to strengthen you. And sometimes God
allows things to happen to people like you and me
(05:16):
because he's got a lesson to teach them other people.
Because see, sometimes God allows the stuff to happen to
you because he knows you strong enough to take it,
and the lesson sometimes ain't for you. Sometimes he's trying
to show your enemy something I can't count the time
he's prepared a table in front of my enemies. I
can't count them. I can't count the times when I
(05:38):
know people have laughed behind my back. I can't count
the times that my faith has gotten me through. You
have this same God available to you, and I know
you do, and I know you know it, But you
got to get back to being a person of faith.
That's cool with it. Having faith is cool, It's really
(06:00):
really cool. I got no problem telling people that's how
I got to where I am. I ain't got no
problem to have no other explanation for you anyway. How
I've gotten through every misstep, every mistake, every public piece
of scrutiny, is because I have a faith in God.
That's that. It's just it's it's powerful man, and it
(06:24):
gets me through everything that I need to get through.
And He's pulled me through everything I've needed to get
pulled through. He'll do the same thing for you. Being
a person of faith is cool. Don't ever stop being that, okay,
because God is good? All right? Those are my closed
new laws. Y'all have a great ta talk to God.
