Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now?
Want it on to Seve Harvey got a radio show.
Five things that I know successful people have to do
to be successful. The principles are the same. You can

(00:21):
apply it to anything, you know, if you want to
be happily married, you know, whatever it is. The principles
of success are the same. There are a series of
things that you have to do. You cannot skip the
steps of success. If you do, you're going to have
to go back and step on them anyway. So here's
here's here's a part man that I want you all

(00:43):
to understand about me, and and and and about how
to look at it. You know, you you cannot under
estimate faith and prayer. You just can't. You cannot underestimate

(01:04):
the power of faith and the power of prayer. See
for me, this is just for me. Now. This ain't
in the scripture nowhere. This is just something I discovered.
What prayer did for me was was it tied me
to my creator. It gave me a sense. And I'm

(01:27):
describing it this way, but I'm telling you it's deeper
than this. But it gave me a sense that I
wasn't alone, and at actuality I wasn't. But prayer helped
connect me to the power source that was available to
me to get through, get around, or get over whatever

(01:52):
it was that was in the way, whether it was
just a period I stretched, I had to go through
hard work. It had the period I had to go
through to learn some lessons, some periods I had to
go through from having to pay for some of the
mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be, Prayer gave
me a decided advantage, especially oh here we go, especially

(02:20):
over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in my
life that were my enemies, I didn't want them to
be my enemies, make no mistake about this. But through
the thing called life, some things went down. Some things
happened from here and then went over here that way,
and a person became my enemy. The majority of enemies

(02:42):
I have came out of nowhere. I have no reason
to even see why they are my enemies. But you know,
life goes on, man, It happens from time to time.
Some people just won't let it go. See. Some people,
in their quest to do something to you or to
make you pay, they just won't let it go. But

(03:06):
it may cause you some discomforting and some of it
may be lies about you and all of this and
all of that, but you that that can't prohibit you
from going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer gave
me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to either go
through it, go around it, or go over it. But

(03:27):
it happened. I do not know how I could have
made it without faith and without prayer, it would have
something would have got me. YouTube would have got me.
The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I

(03:49):
grew up with that used to laugh behind my back,
they would have got me. My friend that went over
my mother's house one time and told her, you know
what's these problem? Is he out there telling them jokes.
He just lazy, he don't want to work. That would
have got me. They didn't know. I ain't really mad

(04:11):
at them because they were just All they was doing
was basing their conversations and passing judgment based on what
they knew, based on what they believed. They didn't believe
I was gonna make it. But that's them though. If
it was not for the faith, which is the belief
in things that you cannot see. I wouldn't have made

(04:32):
it because I would have listened to everybody else who
didn't see me getting here and went along with it.
And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man, how many times
has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has bailed me out,
press still bailing me out. Tell you the truth, man,

(04:55):
quiet as it's kept prayer, that connect to your heavenly Father,
that connection to your creator, that connection to that source
of power and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that
you were alone. You know, I was watching the Bishop
Jakes on TV yesterday and it was a repeat, and

(05:17):
one of the things he was talking about, well, let
me just get to the gist of it. I was
going through a portion of my life and I went
through it for some years, y'all. I had gotten myself
into a jam that lasted for years, I'm telling you,

(05:38):
for years, with some serious consequences to follow. For years.
And I was so busy looking at where I was at.
I was sulking. Sometimes, Man, I'd get on the radio, man,
I'd be just done. I was sulking. My spirit had

(06:03):
gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight, and
would I would come on some mornings, man, and I
would try try not to let on, but I was hurting.
I was because I had been in for years. Man,
I had been in this thing for years. And one
thing I was doing, I was so busy looking at
where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop Jakes,

(06:25):
he preached this sermon. He was talking about so busy
looking at where you at that you don't even realize
that God has been with you the entire time. And

(06:49):
you know what, Man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I heard
this and I text him. I text Bishop Jakes and
I thanked him because it was an old message I
could tell and I call, I text him up and
I said, Man, thank you so much. I was just
watching you on TV and you told me, Man, something
that I that I'll always remember that whatever you're going through,

(07:12):
that he's there with you the whole time. But see
when sometimes when you're so busy looking at where you at,
you don't even notice where he is. And see sometimes, Man,
that helped me, and that's going to help me in
the future to realize that what I'm going through, that
he's there. He's there with me, and he gonna protect
me and he ain't gonna let my enemies overcome me,

(07:33):
and he ain't gonna let nobody overtake me, and he
ain't gonna let me go on there because he's there.
It's just you can't be so busy looking at where
you at that you don't take notice of where he at.
God is always there, He's always available, and the best
way to tap into that and know it is you
got to pray. Prayer has changed my life. Prayer can

(07:54):
change your life. You can become something if you just pray.
