Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Yeah I do, man, God is good. Hey today,
I just want to get right to it because this
has really been pressing me. I woke up and this
was on my mind, and I wanted to share it
with you because I know this for a fact. See
(00:28):
I've lived this for a fact, And you know the
majority of things I talk about in the morning before
we get started with the regular show, it's something that
I've experienced. I can only tell you what I know,
and so I've really really understood why God has had
(00:49):
my life go the way that is gone. Because if
I didn't have all these tests in my life, I
didn't have all these tests that I passed, all these
tests that I failed. If I didn't have all of
those the good and the bad, what could I share
with you in the morning. What could I tell you
(01:14):
about hanging? What could I tell you about failing and
then winning? What could I tell you about hanging in
now when all hope was gone? How could I share
that with you? Unless I've had those moments myself. I
don't care what happens to you. I don't care what
(01:35):
you're going through. Don't you dare dare give up? Under
no circumstances. Don't you dare dare ever give up? It
is the biggest trick that the enemy has. It's making
(01:55):
us think we ain't gonna make it, to water down
the illusion that there is a possibility that you might
still have a chance to get over. The biggest trick
he uses is when you make a mistake and you fall,
He gets you to start to think and it's final,
(02:18):
that there is no resurrection, there is no redemption, there
is no recovery. He just makes you think it's final.
He is the master deceiver. Don't you dare dare ever
give up? I don't care what besets you, befalls you,
trips you up, what circumstantial situations may arise. Don't you
(02:41):
dare dare ever give up? Because listen to me. These
are tests that you are going through. And these tests,
whether you pass the test or it appears that you
failed the test, the test accomplishes the mission if you're
smart about it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
If you pass the test.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Let's say you're going through a situation and you get
over and it goes the way you want it to do,
then what you've learned is if you hang in there,
there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, mission accomplished.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
If you fail the test and it doesn't go the
way you want it, and it goes the opposite and
it turns out into a negative result and the response
you were looking for is a.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
No, that's not final.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That doesn't mean it's over, that doesn't mean it's time
to turn back. It simply means that now you have
learned a valuable experience. You have learned a valuable lesson.
You now know what not to do. You are now
(03:58):
because you know what not to do, another step closer
to getting it right. Listen to me, it has to
happen this way. You have to have the rain in
your life to get the flowers in your life. You
got to have the darkness in your life to appreciate
(04:19):
the sunshine in your life. You got to have woes
and worries to appreciate the joys.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It is merely a test.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So when you get through failing and you get through stumbling,
and you get through messing it up, all that's getting
you one step closer to getting it right, Oh, my
relationship ended. I'll never be able to find another person
like that. Not only will you not be able well,
(04:52):
not only will you be able to find a person
like that, you can find a person that's far better
than that if you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Don't give up.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But see, sometimes you got to go through the bad
ones to get to the good ones. Don't you dare
dare ever give up? I don't care what happens to
you if you lose a loved one. And Lord knows,
I've lost some people I've loved dearly with every inch
in me. I've lost my mother, my father, my brother,
(05:29):
and my best friend.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't know. I know people who have lost they children.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Goodness, man, I can't even imagine that, but they kept
on going. What you're giving up for? Oh, I got
you miss them, and I got you grieving, But I
got news for you. Don't you let the devil make
you think it's over for you because somebody else ain't
still here.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It was their time. Now.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm not trying to lessen the blow for you, but
I'm trying to get your on your feet so you
can stop all this old Woe is me because the
things that's happening to you. You're not the first person
that's happened to Come on, now, let's get a grip.
Let's wrap your mind around this thing. You have got
to move forward, if it's just in memory of those people.
(06:17):
I was on one of the commercial breaks the other
day and somebody asked me something and I forgot the question,
but my answer was, I've always wanted my mother and
father to be proud of me, and in their absence
and their demise, I'm hoping just somehow, man, that they
watching me, that they see they boy, that I'm down here,
(06:39):
that I'm doing better, that I'm making something out myself,
that I'm loving my wife, that I'm taking care of
my kids.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Just want my old man to see that about me.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You don't want my mother to see I'm trying to
get my life together over here, you under saying I'm
trying to be a better person. My mama was a
Sunday school teacher for forty years. She been praying for
me for a long time. I just hope, man, and
that's all I'm doing, is just hoping that they see
me so they can be proud of me.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
See you, you, you, you, you.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You got to understand that when you make these mistakes,
that when you fall and stumble and you get it
oh so wrong, it.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Ain't over for you. Don't you dare dare dare ever?
Give up?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Don't stop thinking, man, because it ain't happening just the
way you want it to. That it ain't meant to
be devil. He got so many tricks to deceive you.
You know why you're being tested right now because there
is no testimony without the test. You got to go
through something. It's all good man telling you. Just wanted
(07:47):
to share that with you. Don't you give up out there.
I don't care what's happening. Don't don't, don't don't get deceived.
The victory's coming, but you ain't gonna get it if
you quit.
