Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you, uh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come
on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got
a radio show. Ain't God been good to me? But
then again, ain't He been good to you?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Two? Though?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I mean, really, man, think of all the blessings God
has given you. You know what, that's a good news today, though, y'all,
in the face of the world being the way it is,
the evilness that's out there, it just it just seems
like that's all that's on the news sometimes. You know,
we got we got news of parents not really standing
up being parents. We got news stories of children turning
(00:40):
on their parents. You got, you got everything the economy,
you got places you thought usuld be beautiful places to go.
Now they got travel alerts. It's just it's all over us.
It's it's all over. But the good news is there's
something that you can have in this relationship with God
(01:02):
that gives you a way to deal with it all.
And I'm not saying that it'll protect you from every
single thing out there that is happening, because some things
are going to happen to you. You're going to be
in an accident from time to time. You're going to
make a mistake and fall down from time to time.
But man, wouldn't it be incredible to you for you
(01:25):
if you understood that you had some insurance in all
of this, that no matter what happened to you, you
know you will covered. You know, look, insurance companies as
good as they are, you know, like our friends that
stay farm or any other insurance company. You know they do,
they do some amazing things. Insurance is a really really
good thing to happen in the event that something.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Happens to you.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know, you may not want to pay the premium,
but guess what in the event that something happens to you,
that insurance is absolutely critical.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, but guess what they cover certain things.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You could get life insurance, you can get auto insurance,
you can get accident insurance, you can get health insurance.
There is nothing that you can buy to safeguard you
against life's decisions. You know, if you make a mistake,
if you cheat, if you lie, if you if you
(02:22):
fall down and you can't seem to get it together
and you make a crazy decision about how you're gonna
go about securing an income, there are there are no
policies you can buy for that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You can't buy a policy if.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You stop being the man you're supposed to be, and
and and and give up on your children. You can't
buy a policy if something happens as a mother and
all of a sudden you're not the mother you're supposed
to be. But there is some insurance coverage out there
for you. And that relationship that you form with God,
(02:58):
that friendship that you form with him, that alliance, that
that partnership, that that prayer that you put in all
the time, there is an insurance policy that you have
taken out when you form a relationship with your heavenly Father,
when you form a friendship, when you form a bond
(03:20):
that protects you, that protects you when these things happen
in the event that they happen. Now here's the great
thing about prayer. Prayer can head off some stuff from happening.
It really really can. Prayer can prevent some things from happening.
You know, I'll give you an example in my life. Okay,
here we go, because see, see's the best way for
(03:42):
me to do it. Because see, what I don't like
to do is talk to people without letting them know, hey, look,
I'm in this hole with you.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I feel where yet? Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I was making some decisions a few years ago because
what I thought I was doing was on balancing something
that was happening in my life. You know, I thought
that since I wasn't happy or well for whatever the
reason I thought I wasn't happy, if I, as wrong
as I am, wanted to blame somebody else from my unhappiness.
(04:16):
That's really if if I make a bad decision because
I'm thinking I'm unhappy with somebody, Holy pardon too. Wrongs
don't make it right, and I make a decision to
do something wrong, and now the consequences come when I
do something wrong. See then that I already know as
an intelligent thinking man, as most of you are, that
(04:39):
when you do something wrong, that you know there is
a consequence for that. I teach that to my sons.
When you do something wrong, there is a consequence. So
as an adult, I fully understood the consequence. And so
what I was doing was I was making some decisions
that was causing some consequences in my life that was
delaying my happiness, delaying my progress, causing my business not
(05:03):
to go the way it could go so forth and
so on. Well, what I started doing was I took
out this insurance policy called Prayer, and I started putting
it in my mix on a daily basis. And then
I started putting it in my mix, you know, two
three times a day. And then I found myself using
it all the time. And then I really started putting
(05:23):
it in when I didn't need any help, when I
wasn't in trouble, I started putting insurance in. I started
making deposits into the bank. I started paying my premiums down.
And Prayer is like a premium, you just pay into it.
Then when situations started coming up, now that Prayer that
I had put in that in those premiums I had
(05:45):
paid it started preventing me from making the decisions I
was making in the past. Thus I didn't have to
suffer the consequences. Thus my businesses didn't have to be
delayed in this progress because I had put some payments
on some premiums. I had taken out an insurance policy.
With my life, my real life. I'm talking about your
(06:08):
life where you make your day to day decisions in
I'm not talking about see life. Insurance is only good
if you die God has a policy that's available, that's
available for you.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Why are you living? See?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
In order for an insurance policy to pay, something bad
got to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There may be some others out there I don't know
nothing about, but all the ones I got my car insurance,
they only come into play if I have an accident.
I have an accident insurance policy where if something happens
to me, I got accident, I got, I got my
voice is covered in case something happened to that. I
got that, but I got to not be able to
(06:47):
talk to cash that one.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You understand everything. I got homeowner's insurance.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Don't nothing show up on my homeowner's insurance unless it's
a flood, a fire of something bad got to happen
for my insurance to even make sense. When you take
out the policy with your heavenly father, when you pay
the premiums of prayer, and that's all it costs. Man,
(07:13):
it ain't you. Ain't got to have no money for
this policy. I put into the policy. It pays me
dividends and benefits for living. Ain't nothing got to go
wrong for me to cash in on this policy.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I use this policy for good things.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I give you example, I use this policy to ask
God to watch over my family when I travel. Make
the decisions to pay your premiums in prayer, talk to
your heavenly Father, get you some insurance in your life,
and when you have little things like that, keep on stepping.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Man. God loves you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Man, Man, I show hope you talk to God today
because guess what He shure would like to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's for sure. To the Steve Harvey Morning Show
