Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I shure, well, good morning everybody
you're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harley got a radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I want to share something with you this moment. In
order for God to bless.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You, you have to you have to have something you
know and and and that means I guess, I guess
what I'm saying is God can only bless.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You by your faith and your effort. It's the only
way He can bless you, by your faith and your effort. Now,
because of his grace, he gives us so many things
that we don't even we don't ask for, we don't
thank him for, you know, we don't even have on
the list. You know. Oftentimes, you know, many of us
(00:54):
have health we never thank him for. We get another
opportunity to wake up the next day. We never thank him.
Or we take so many small things because of his grace,
we just take for granted, like it's just supposed to
pop off for us, just like that. Okay, including that,
what all this wonderful things he does us, and he
(01:16):
blesses us even far beyond our wildest dreams. I'm talking
by myself, like us and a lot of you listening
without us confiding or conferring in him. He still watches
over us, watches over I'm talking to all of us.
Here is what you get blessed on through your faith
(01:37):
and your efforts. I mean, he really gives you, give
him something to work with us. What I'm saying, He's
gonna do certain things for us automatically because he just
loves us. He automatically does things for us that we
take so for granted that a lot of people are
not experiencing because their time is up or whatever. I
(01:57):
don't know the reason, but whatever the case, but he
does so many things for us automatic. Imagine what could
happen to you if you just gave him a little
bit to work with Ever thought about that. Suppose this
idea that's been burning on the inside of you, Suppose
you just started it today and don't wait to start
(02:19):
an idea of and you can figure it all the
way through because you'll never get started. You know. It
cripples so many people because they think of how to
start their business. Then they look all the way down
the road and the loans they gonna need, and they
don't know nobody, and they carey bad, so they stopped,
they never started. What would happen had you ever thought
(02:40):
if you just started do the part of the business
that you could do, and ask God to lead you
and guide you to the next step. That thing called faith,
the belief in things that you cannot see. Suppose you
just started out on faith, You just stepped out the water,
stepped out the boat and stood on the water, just
on faith, seeing that is rough, but just believing that
(03:03):
He would take care of you, just believing that He
would get you through through, just believing that He would
lead you to the next step. Start. If you just
started now, you would then give God something to put
his finger on and to bless. People say to me
all the time, man, man, Steve, it seemed like everything
you do work. Man, indeed, know what it is? Really,
(03:28):
I just lose the fear of failure and I start
I don't know how to do all of this. Come on, man,
if I could have told you ten years ago, or
there's no way I could have told you, I'd be
why I'm today. But if anyone had come to me
and says, Steven, ten years you will be doing this, that, this, that,
(03:49):
and the other, they will recognize you here you will
get this recognizable recognition, You'll get this award, and you'll
be living like this. I'd have just looked at them
like they was crazy. I really would have. Man, it's
not that I didn't have the faith, it's just that
in my imagination I didn't see it. I've always believed
in God, I just didn't see things for myself. See,
(04:12):
I didn't open myself up to what God had for me.
I was just living my life based on what I
could see for me. When I stopped worried about what
I could see for me and started allowing God to
do what he could do for me, it changed my
whole existence because I found out that God's plan was
(04:32):
way better than mine. But you got to start something.
You got to give God something to put his finger
on that might's touched where it turned into something. You
got to let your imagination go. You got to let
your imagination fly as wild as it can fly without
being constricted by the confines of where you live and
(04:54):
what color you are, and what sex you are, and
how much money you make and what your degree say.
You got to let your imagination fly beyond that. You
got to go for it. You got to step out
on faith, and you got to go for it. Oh
and did I mention? You got to pray? Don't want
to leave that out? Then you got to seek understanding. Man,
(05:16):
read Proverbs. Proverbs is a great book to start with out.
You know, I guess other people got other wise. I'm
just telling you about me. Man, it's probably some better
places to start. I don't know. Proverbs was to start
for me, the book of wisdom and understanding that helped
develop my thought process, which helped me become fairly successful.
(05:37):
Proverbs teaches you everything you need to know. And if
you can't read the King James version, get you one
of them translated Bibles. What difference it makes long as
you hear what he's saying to you. Oh and did
I mention? Don't forget to pray? And then take the
idea the business, the journey you want to embark on,
(05:57):
and break it down in anythings and sich, just start
with the peace that you can do. Okay, you don't
know how you go get the loan? When it's time
for the loan, what part? Can you? Can you design
the business card? Can you can you make a YouTube
video and post it? Can you start telling people that
you're associated with. This is what you do.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You could start somewhere. You can get a gig somewhere
doing something somebody will pay you for the service right now,
and then simplify it, take it and break it down
to the lowest common denominator. Quot trying to figure it
all out? Simplify it? What can I do now? I
can't figure this out. It's too complex, it's too difficult,
(06:37):
it's too many levels. Quot tripping on that. Do the
part you can do. But start, man, Just get started today.
Stop delaying it. Every time you put it off, you
seem further away from it, don't you. Why won't you start?
Let your imagination go? Open it up? You know, if
you can't imagine, God show can Einstein said? At one
(07:01):
time he said that imagination is everything. It's the preview
to life's coming attractions. Oh is that crazy? Is that crazy?
Do you know that everything we do somebody imagined it?
But do you know when they imagine if somebody laughed
at them? Man, I'm gonna make a car that you
can sit on it and'll automatically drive, and the wheels
a rod? Who gonna do that? Okay, here we go.
(07:25):
We all ride in cars. Man, I'm gonna fly. I'm
gonna make something that will take people far away in
the air. People board flights every day.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Somebody sat up there and looked at that moon and said, man,
one day I'm going to the moon. He talking about
going to the moon. They take people to the moon
all the time. Imagination is everything. It's the preview to
life's coming attractions. Or are you imagining for yourself? What
do you see coming? What's your coming attractions? I'm so
grateful I change mine. Oh I see being because I
(07:57):
see God. Come on ya.
