Speaker 1 (00:01):
Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Excuse me.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
You are listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Man, oh, man, oh, man. Something going on real good today.
You ought to feel blessed today. The fact that God
woke you up and gave you another opportunity. You know,
every day you wake up is another chance. It's a
chance for all of us to get better, to get
it right, to get on the right path. To stop
heading the wrong way. Every day you wake up, that's
(00:34):
your opportunity. See, because he's going to keep waking you
up because he has a plan for you. You know,
I don't know. You know, I don't I don't I
don't know when he makes his call. And, you know,
who gets called home when I can't explain it. I
don't have that answer. I'm not him. I'm not God.
(00:56):
I don't claim to be. I don't I don't understand
it all sometimes. But God has an amazing way. But
as long as he's waking you up, I do know this.
God ain't through with you yet. God has a plan
for you. Your job is to identify, identify the plan.
You know, that's that's clearly what I need for you
to do. You know, oftentimes the thing that you're looking for,
(01:21):
it's right there inside of you. You know, I can't
tell you how many people I meet.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Mr. Harvey, Mr. Harvey, can I speak to you for
a minute? Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What's up with you? Man, I was just wondering, man,
I've been trying to and I wanted to know, man,
can you give me a good agent? Can you give
me a good lawyer? Can you give me a good. Now, look,
if you got some legal problems, I understand you're going
to need some help right there. But the majority of
questions I get asked is about their future, about their
place in this world, about their mission. about what they're
(01:53):
trying to do, how they're trying to figure out, and
then how to go about doing it. But the answer,
I must remind all of you, is always within yourself.
It starts right there. See, a lot of people burn
up a lot of time looking around, trying to find someone.
If I could just meet them, if I could just
(02:14):
get on her show, man, if I could just get
to his show, I'd be.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The made it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's not that's not necessarily the case, because, see, just
like every time you put your put your faith in
a person or an event or currents or or some
type of thing that you imagine yourself being in, that'll
do it for you. Imagine of all the people who've
made it without. You know, I look at everybody talking, man,
(02:43):
if I could get on so-and-so show, that'll do it
for me, man. Somebody else got on that show and
they blew up, man. If I could just make it
to that show. Do you know how many people have
made it without that? So see, when you start focusing
in on what your idea of how to make it
is and your idea of how to make it does
not include your relationship with God, you're spinning.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Your wheels, man.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's a vicious cycle you in now. And I'm asking
everybody to get out of that cycle. Get out of
looking for someone in something. The answer is within you.
God resides in you. That burning thing that you have
that you just can't get out your head.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That's a seed. God planted that there. That's a seed.
It needs watering, nurturing, fertilizing. That's what it needs.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It didn't it don't ever say, man, I need that
other person right there. Now, there are people you will
meet that are compliment you. And I can assure you
that God will put you in the right place at
the right time. I'm almost certain that God will introduce
you to everybody you need to be introduced to, to
make it to wherever it is you all are trying
to get to. I'm talking about you and God now.
(03:53):
But the moment you take it into your own hands
and you make the decision as to who you got
to get to, you've just clouded and muddied the waters. See,
God's plan for you don't really need your help. It
needs your attention. It needs your focus. It needs your faith.
And it needs your hard work. But he needs you
(04:15):
to listen. He needs you to listen more than anything. Listen,
keep the faith and be willing to work your tail off.
I don't know how you think it can happen any
other way. But then again, I do because I tried
to make it another way. So I had to come
to the conclusion. Hey, man, listen here, dog, this ain't
(04:38):
working for you. You got to get some more God here, man.
Listen to me. The answer was always within me. The
moment I sat down with myself and told myself the
truth that, hey, partner, you ain't really all that. Hey, partner,
regardless of what people are seeing and stuff, you ain't happy. Hey, partner,
(05:01):
this really ain't about you. Hey, partner, you really ain't
all that good at this. God is keeping you for
a reason. OK, hold up, Steve. Quit tripping what I
need to do. I just started talking to myself. And
then I heard Bishop Jakes say a couple of things.
Then I was watching TV. I heard Joel.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Osteen say a couple of things. And I went, wow, man. OK, cool.
That's pretty slick. I'm going to try that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And when I did it, it changed my life. I
am telling you, man, it has been God this whole time.
And the God has been residing inside of me, just
like the God resides on the inside of you. That's
him talking to you, telling you, man, you ought to
get it together. Man, making you feel bad. It's sending
(05:46):
you on guilt trips. You knowing you wrong. You out
there wrong and something telling you you ought not do it.
Here's how you know it's God. And Bishop Ulmer taught
me this in his book. He's got, I can't think
of the name of it right now, but it's a
really good book. But it says in there, man, Bishop
Alma was talking in this book and he was saying,
(06:07):
the way you know is not God's voice is if
it ain't.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No sin in it. See how many times have you
made up in your mind?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I'm going to show this person or I'm going to
show that person or I'm going to get this person back.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You hurt me.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I'm going to hurt you. You know, the Lord don't
like ugly. I'll show you. Well, the Lord don't like ugly,
but no way in that doesn't say for you to
go show them. It doesn't say that. See, so when
you strike out on that mission, you know, the God
knows in my heart, I loved you, but I got
to do this because you did me wrong. Whoa, they
(06:45):
got nothing to do with God right there. You can
take him out of it. If it's God has no
sin in it. So anytime somebody come to me talking
about the Lord told me to do this to you,
and that's the only reason I'm doing it. You need
to get yourself right with God. I heard all them
threats right there. That ain't God talking to me through you.
(07:06):
What are you crazy? If it's God, it has no
sin in it. So you got to be careful, man,
when you're talking to people. We're going to go down here.
We're going to do this because this is the right
thing to do. If it has something wrong going on,
then it can't be the right thing to do. It
took me a minute to learn that one. But please
get that through your head so you can quit spinning
(07:28):
yourself around.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And remember, everything you're looking for is within you. It's
all right there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Quit wasting your time looking around all the time. Go
to your God, man. Talk to him. Go to that
spirit that's on the inside of you that's calling you.
Stop letting people shake your tree. At the end of
the day, somebody going to be right, somebody going to
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
All right, y'all. We're going to have a good one today.
I'm tripping a little bit, going through something. You're listening
to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
