Speaker 4 (01:49):

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think that.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Took me what I said, but I do, like I
say always, it just is a constant reminder of how
good God has been. So my question to you is
what's stopping you from having the life that you want?
What's stopping you from having the life that you want?
I know a lot of people who have given up
(02:36):
on achieving the life of their dreams. But I know
they'd still want them if they could get to them.
But they just allowed to settle for so many reasons.
So who I'm talking to is you today? What's really
at the core of stopping you?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What is that? Is it your.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Friends or your associates, Is it the fear of what
you think somebody else will think of you if you
decide to change.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Is it what I used to call the call of
the wile?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Is it the fact that you keep thinking that the
thing that you're doing that's providing you these momentary moments
of pleasure that really ain't really good or healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
For you, You.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Don't want to stop doing that because you've got just
a little bit more something else you want to do.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I call that the call of the while.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You know it's just out there, them streets is calling you,
Them lights is calling you. You know, them girls is
calling you. Them guys that's on the wrong side keep
calling you. You can't seem to make a decision about
the right guy. You keep picking the wrong guy all
the time. What is it that's stopping you from having
the life that you really want to have? So whatever
(03:48):
the reason you're choosing, that's the reason that's stopping you
from having the life that you want to have, it's
no good because at the end of the day, here's
the real deal. God is available, and God is available
for all of us, and God has a plan for
all of us, and God wants the very best for
all of us. That's the truth of the matter. So
(04:11):
now what we're gonna do to get started having that life?
First of all, if it's your friends, I want you
to understand something. Your friends can't save you. A lot
of your friends offer no real help for you. Most
of your friends don't have the answer themselves. I mean,
it's just a wide range of reasons and misery love company.
(04:32):
So usually when your friends are in a bad position,
they kind of like company in that bad position. Your
friends ain't going to church. You're gonna be their friend.
They don't really want you to go to church. You know,
your friends don't pray, so why would they offer up
prayer as.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A solution to you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You know, your friends don't really really get the fact
that if you treat people better, people would treat you better.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So what's that?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
So your friends are a lot of times the reasons,
you know, the peer pressure of what and then the
thought in your mind of what they gonna think once
they find out I don't do what they do anymore.
Who cares what they think other than you? I mean, really,
you can't let what somebody thinks of you stop you
(05:21):
from having the best life you wanted to have. If
I went by that theory right there, wouldn't I wouldn't
even be on this mic this morning. I would have
never become a stand up I would had I listened
to the people around me who clearly told me when
I quit my job to pursue this, boy, don't you
quit your job? You got a family, Boy, don't you
(05:42):
do this. You ain't got no bit that, ain't no
security in that. Get yourself a job. Go down here,
and what's your brothers? Go to work over here? Go
to I heard all of that. I didn't let that
stop me from pursuing this. Why would you allow that
to stop you from pursuing your relationship with God so
you can have the best life you could possibly have.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You gang bang.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Because they've convinced you that this is the family situation
and love that you don't have, and they've convinced you
that this is your only way, your only source of
getting over, And then you drum up these ignorant reasons
man for staying with it. But they sound so good
when you listening to everybody else you surrounded by telling
(06:26):
you why we gang banging? Why we holding this block down?
Why we slanging this thing here right here? Why we
letting it go like this here, You keep listening to
them when all in your heart of hearts, you know
this ain't right. You already know, but you allow that
form of the call of the wile, that wanting to
(06:47):
be accepted by a group of people who trying to
get you to accept the way so you can further
they progress. To even prove that you're worthy to be
around them, you got to commit some type of crime
to even prove that you're worthy to be around them.
Then when you get busted on the crime, what happens
to that where your family are Now they don't come
(07:08):
down there to see you because guess what, they can't
turn in They idea to desk at a law enforcement center,
So now your homies can't come visit you.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And then you know your family.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Back out here, they ain't taking care of your family
because it's all about them. Then you learn that what
is it that's stopping you from having the life that
you always wanted to have?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Why are you a repeat offender? Why do you keep
checking yourself back into that institution?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Why?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Man, why won't you get it together? Why won't you
give God a try? Why won't you disassociate yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Why would you continue to be a part of a
revolving door system and becoming a farm system for these
institutions that ain't got nothing for you?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But you keep going back in there.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
And then every time you go in there, and now
your little homies or your gang banging little tell the
little friends, try to make you think that's a badge
of honor. There ain't no badge of honor. Man, that's
one mold. What's one more scratch on that record. That's
one mold. That's one more nail in that coffin. That's
one step closer to that third strike where you ain't
gonna ever get out. It's one step closer to that
(08:17):
graveyard you keep on. Why would you not give God
a try? Why would you not go and see what
your life could really be? What is it that's stopping you?
Because see, I got news for you. There's nothing like
waking up free. I don't care who you are. There's
nothing like waking up with the joy in your heart. Now,
(08:39):
if you ain't gonna be free, get the joy in
your heart, the satisfaction of knowing that you're accomplishing something
with your life. Help somebody behind them balls, get in
the program, show these young cats when they come in
a better way. But don't you dash sit there, man
and just ride it out, and man, just go and
get the fullest life that you can have. What you
(09:01):
know what it feels like to wake up and be
on your way somewhere, knowing that you have something to accomplish,
that you can change somebody, that you can stop somebody
from going down the roads you went down. It's a
whole lot of ways to make your life better. But
why would you not go and have the best life
you can have? What is it that's stopping you?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Really? Really?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
So you think that Satan really has your best interest
at heart, that the little thing your mama kept telling
you about praying you wasn't listening, was you. But you know,
it ain't ever too late to get back to that.
It ain't ever too late to turn around, It ain't
ever too late to get your life together, it ain't
ever too late to seek God, and it ain't ever
(09:42):
too late to pray. Don't forget to pray, don't be
ashamed to pray, and don't be too proud to pray,
because prayer changes things. Prayer change people too. I'm a
witness to that.
