Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, so it's time take us home with
some closing remarks. Please.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know what again, I like to use things that
are happening to me in my life to encourage people
that might be going through some of the same things
in theirs. It's just a couple of piece of encouragements
I got this week. So many people have reached out
to me man given me love. It's far aways anything

(00:27):
else that's going on in my life. I'm actually surrounded
by a lot of love and prayers, and I'm actually
actually really not even privy to a lot of the
swirl that goes around me. Like I was saying the
other day, God's peace keeps me in the center of
the hurricane. And I do understand that there's a swirl

(00:51):
going on out there, but it's none of my business.
I can't stop the swirl, but I cannot participate in
the world. And by neither participating in it nor acknowledging
it it, it has no room with me. If you
stay the center of the hurricane and the swirl is

(01:11):
going around you, if you gonna stay, if you don't
step out into the swirl, you stay in the center.
It's peaceful in the eye the hurricane. The problem is
when you get caught up in the swirl. A couple
of people sent me something. I'm gonna share a couple
of them with you. Uh. You talk about people in
your life that you need to kind of get rid of.

(01:31):
Somebody sent this to me, says, sometimes people have to
be escorted out of the VIP section in your life,
and you just have to put them in regular seats.
Sometimes people have to be escorted out the VIP section
of your life and you just have to put them

(01:54):
in some regular seats. Sometimes we place too much importance
on people, period, and we give so much people so
much importance that they now have a say so, they
have authority, they got ruled, they get comfortable. All of
a sudden, they in a position and they don't even
really mean us no good. So now here they are

(02:16):
they in your life? You done gave them permission to
sit in the VIP section. But you know, sometimes you
need to escort them out. You say, you know what,
you're no longer welcome in the VIP section. You could
take a seat right over here. Those are the only
seats that's available. I got the view ain't that good
from over here, But those are the only seats that's
available in my arena. As a matter of fact, security,

(02:40):
could you escort them out? Please? See what I don't
do is but I can't stop some people. I just
I let people sit up in the stands and say
what they want to say, because they're not on my
stage in my life. You're not on the same stage
I'm on. So why do I allow your insults from

(03:01):
in back of the room that I can't hardly nobody
here but you and your little fourteen followers. So I've
learned that that the credit belongs to the man who
is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust, blood,
sweating tears, not to those cold and timid souls in
the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. I live

(03:26):
like that, all right. Next thing I'm gonna share with you,
I'm gonna share with you something about somebody told me
about trusting in God. And this is what they sent me.
And this is really nice, and it says, I ask
for strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

(03:52):
I ask for wisdom, and God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity and God gave me brain and
brawn to work. I asked for courage and God gave
me danger to overcome. I asked for love and God

(04:18):
gave me trouble people to help. I asked for favors
and God gave me opportunities. I've received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed. Trust in God. Do you

(04:42):
know how rich those words were to me today that
someone sent to me, Because what that says to me
was Steve, you got to trust the process, man. I
don't care how it looks what you're asking for. God
is working on on your behalf. Now. It might not

(05:04):
look that good to some people. It might not even
look that good to you. I would imagine those on
the outside looking in this look kind of crazy. But
you have no idea the way God is working. So
when you ask God for strength, and then God give
you a bunch of difficulties, guess what to make you stronger?

(05:24):
So you ask God for wisdom and God give you
problems to solve. You asking for prosperity, God give you
a brain and some broad to go to work. I
asked for courage and God gave me danger to overcome.
I asked for love, and God turned around and gave
me troubled people to hell, What is this? I asked
for favors and God turn around give me opportunities. I've

(05:48):
received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed.
You got to trust in God, man. You got to
trust in the process. Y'all. We are all in the
middle of the process. We being processed. God ain't through
with none of us. God ain't through with you yet.

(06:09):
Do you know if God was through with you, that
you wouldn't wake up in the morning. But as long
as you're waking up, you got to put a smile on
your face, because I mean, He ain't through with us. Man.
God is processing us. We all in the process. You
got to trust the process that God know what he's doing.
I'm over here grinning because of that. Cool because guess what,

(06:30):
I know He working on my behalf. You know why
because he processing me. You know why he processing me
because He ain't through with me yet. He ain't through
with you either. Those are my clothes and remarks. Thank
y'all for listening. Thank you, see you the mother.
