Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, come on,
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show, Yeah, I got one. And I got a
message for you today too, something I was thinking about
that might help you along the way. The thing I
appreciate about so many people that I learned from Bishop Jakes,
(00:27):
Kenneth Olmer, Donnie McClerkin, Kirk Franklin, Joel Oldstein, I can't
tell you, and many more than that. I mean, you
know I'm naming you know, famous people because I know
you know these names. But my father, who you never met,
was so great in my development as a man. But
(00:50):
my mother, Lord have mercy, my mother. She taught me
about faith. She gave me the things I needed to
know about. What I speak about every day. That basis
was given to me by her. So it's so many
great people. But here's the thing that I've had to learn,
and that is that if God got you through it,
(01:11):
it's done.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
See, I can't tell you how many people don't really
pay attention to that close enough.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
If God got you through it, it's done. Move on.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
How many times have we as people allowed God to
get us through something, get us beyond something, get us
over something, get us through something, and then even after
it's completion, we sit there and we dwell on it,
and we dwell on it to the point where it
becomes an anchor around our neck and we can't move on.
(01:50):
We can't move on because we just won't let it go.
It's done. If God got you through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Move on. Stop harboring on the past.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Stop hanging on to every time you fail, Stop hanging
on to every time you slipped up and messed up.
Stop hanging on to every time you didn't get it right.
So what everybody makes mistakes, everybody messes up, everybody don't
get it right, everybody struggling with something.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You ain't the only one.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But my God, Man, if God got you through it,
it's done.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Move on. You hanging on to it for it. That's
why He got it, got you through it, so you
can move on from it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
See a lot of things that happened to us that
we think are negative or bad experience. These are lessons
and what not to do. This is a way to
have a now, a bearing on. Look out for it.
The next time you got me once you can't get
me again. I'm telling you, man, if God got you
(03:04):
through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You have got to move on. I use this analogy
all the time. I'm gonna add a little bit to it.
Bishop Jakes told me you cannot drive your car looking
in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
See.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know what your rearview mirror is actually for in
your car. Your rear view mirror is designed. After I
pass a car and I want to merge into that lane,
or I want to make another move, I look up
in the rear view mirror, and all I use it
for it shows me that I've gotten past it. I've
(03:47):
gotten past the vehicle I was passing, and I got
enough room now clear to make my next move.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's what I use my rearview mirror for. I use
my rear view mirror.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
To just glance up every now and then to see
what's coming up on me. That's all I use it for.
Listen to me real close now. Your rearview mirror on
your car is after you passing something, or you're passing
by something, you can look up in the rear view
mirror and it lets you know you're passed.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It you're beyond it. It's clear. Now it's in the past.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You no longer have to deal with it as the
car that was in front of you blocking your way.
You have passed it. You look up in the mirror,
you've cleared it. Now if you on a switch lanes
could slide on over, you got room. But that rearview
mirror also lets you see if anything is coming up
(04:45):
on you, and you just need to glance because if
you moving forward and a whole lot can come up
on you, you just glancing every now and then, and it
reminds you that you got through something and you got
beyond something. That's what the realview mirror for. Now, let's
talk about that windshield. Why you think that windshields so
big on your car. That's the biggest window on your car.
(05:11):
You know why the wind shield so big because it's
where you're going. Because even the automobile makers want you
to have a wide view of where you're going so
you can see what's up ahead. They put lights on
the card night so you can have night vision and
see what's up ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But you can uh, oh man, oh see not why
is that? Look?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Think about that now before I move forward with this one.
Think about that windshield, man, why is that wind shield
so big so you can see where you're going. It's
way more important where you're going than where you're being, don't.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You see that.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's why the rear view mirror is so small, because
it is nowhere near as important as it is as
to where you're going. While you being just allows you
to take a glance so you can make sure you
cleared it, so you can see if it's room enough
for you to make your next move, so you can
know that you've gone through it and go ahead on
about your business. But that windshield, that windshield is for vision.
(06:14):
A man without a dream of vision shall perish. That
windshield is for somebody going somewhere. That windshielding for somebody
out there trying to make another move. I'm gonna go right,
I'm gonna left, I'm gonna get off on this exit.
I'm gonna take this detail. I'm gonna handle this sign.
There's a new route. There's only so many miles left
to go. That's what the windshield got. Let me tell
(06:35):
you something, man, when you see a mile sign, you're
driving on the freeway, you're on the interstate, and you
Let's say you driving to a particular city and you
see a sign that says that city is thirty eight
or one hundred and thirty eight miles away. That lets
you know where you're going, and you're on the right
path now.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
If you keep looking in the rear view mirror, you'll
never know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
How close you are. You'll never know because you're driving
your car looking in the rear view mirror. You all
on the shoulder, you hear them rocks up under your car.
You just scared yourself to death because you know why,
because you keep looking in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Get out the rear view mirror. If God got you
through it, it's done. Move on. So what he don't
love you no more?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And man, let's move on. If God got you through it,
it's done.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Move on. God got something for you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
If you get out your rearview mirror and get up
in that wind shield, God's got something for you up ahead.
But you can't see what's up ahead because you in
that rearview mirror. If God got you through it, it's done.
Let's move on. Come on, y'all, don't let the pass
beat you up. That's the ingredients in the cake. You done,
made that already, that's done.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
God, look in the windshield, see what God marbably got
something new for you. If you get out the rear
view mirror and look, open up your eyes and see.
All right, let's go today.
