Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You all
listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One
and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Uh huh,
Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Man, boy boy boy boy man. God has been good
to me. I can't even I can't even put it
into words, man, But I try, though, I try, I try,
I try. God does things for me just right on time.
He's so cool with it. And I happened to run
(00:39):
across Joel Oldstein on television like I often do all
the time, and I was sitting there and he had
such a timely message for me. A part of it
was something that I've said oftentimes about if you really
really want to be success, if you really really want
(01:02):
to change, if you really really want to prosper, if
you really really want to achieve greatness, if you really
really want to have something in life that's worth having,
if you really really want to accomplish your goals, you
got to push through all of it. He said that
when you get closer to it, the more difficult it becomes.
(01:26):
Did you hear me? He said, the closer you get
to what it is you want or you need, or
you have to have, or you would love to be.
It gets a little bit more difficult when you get closer.
He told this story that's in the Bible that I
(01:46):
never heard before. This is what he said. He said,
there was a man who was paralyzed and he had
heard that Jesus was speaking at a house, and so
he wanted to get there. So he convinced four of
his friends to put him on a stretcher and carry
(02:11):
him for hours to get to this house where Jesus
was speaking. He said that along the way, these friends
said that they went along because he had so much
faith that if he could just get to him, it
(02:31):
could be better that he could if he could just
get over there and he could see him, that he
might have a shot at getting here. And so he said,
they took out along the way and they walked and
they walked and they walked for hours. And then when
they got there, the house was completely filled with people.
That was absolutely it was packed wall to wall. There
(02:54):
was absolutely no way for the men to get him
on that stretcher in to see Jesus. This is a
story that uh Joe Losting said is in the Bible.
And he was telling it now. I'm just repeating the
parts of it I gathered and so he said. They
sat there and they went, wow, man, we walked all
this weight and it's full and and and and and
(03:18):
and and we can't get that, he said. And then
the guy with the affliction told the four men, if
you get up on the roof and cut a hole
in it and lower me down, I bet I could
see him then, and I bet it to be all
right now. He then said, you must imagined how these
(03:43):
four men must have felt when you carry somebody for hours.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
On on on on on on on the way.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They had to carry some cloth connected by a couple
of sticks, said the me and shoulders had to be bruised,
had to have deep gouges and I'm not cut, but
just indentations where they had carried the weight of this
grown man for so many hours. And they looked at
him in disbelief, like, man, what are you talking about?
We done walked all this far? He said, yeah, But
(04:11):
if you get up on that roof and you cut
a hole in it and lower me down, I can
see him, and when he see me, it'll be all right.
After sitting there and imploring the men they went up
and did just that, and then the story that Joe
Los Dean said, the man was healed.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But the point he was making was he was saying.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That the closer you get to what it is you
really want, the more difficult it's going to become. But
you've got to push through. See, if you don't push through,
you never know. See, you can't get right to the answer.
And because it gets really difficult, started creating those little
saying that we got as people. Well, I guess it
(04:58):
wasn't meant to be. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. Now, man,
I guess you should not give up right now. I
guess you should keep pressing. I guess you should do
more because see, in all of us, in all of us,
when you've had enough.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I want you to know something. You do have a
little bit more in all of us. You can do
one more. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's one of my favorite things that I heard, Joel
Oldstein said, and it kind of made me feel good.
He said, I always feel like I can do one
more anything, And I tell my friends all the time,
I can do one more, man, I could do one
more day. I can do one more anything. Now Here
(05:43):
was the jewel that I never really knew that Joel
Oldstein and God sent to me I needed to hear.
He said that no matter what you're going through, no
matter how long the challenge is you've been, God has
an end date for it all.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Did you hear me?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No matter what you're going through, no matter what challenge
you're facing, no matter what situation you've gotten yourself into,
God has an ending date. All you got to do
is keep pressing forward. All you got to do is
hang in there. All you got to do is don't
give up. All you have to do is.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Don't turn back.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
There is an end date for all of it, even
when you think you've had enough. And boy, have I
had this conversation with God on several things that I've
been going through, and I've even told him, look, I
got it, man. He said, just keep hanging on. There
(06:51):
is an end date to whatever it is you're going through.
There's an end date to your illness, your sickness, your
time of being tired. There's an in date to this
relationship that you can't seem to get through, beyond over
(07:12):
that's like a cancer to you. There's an end date,
But you've got to hang in there. You've got to
keep pushing forward. You cannot turn around. You must not
go back, because when God gets you through this and
you break through to the other side, the reward and
(07:33):
the benefit is far greater than the struggle. I oftentimes
look at some of the things that God has brought
me through in my worst times, and when He brought
me through, I went, Wow, Man, now that I understand that,
Now that I'm on the other side and I have
the benefit of the reward for it, would you do
(07:55):
it all again to get that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, I would. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
