Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your Ah huh, I sure will. Good morning
everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now.
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I
was talking with my wife and she said something her
father always used to tell her, just because you can
do something don't mean you should do it. I can't
(00:23):
tell you how many times I've had to learn that
in my life. You know, just because you can do
something does not necessarily mean you should do it. I
could tell people off oftentimes, but it don't mean I
should do it. I could go here and set the
record straight a lot of times, but it don't mean
I should do it. Well, I've learned a lot in
(00:46):
that lesson folks, and because I have a relationship with
my creator, what it's done is it's allowed me to
learn even more how to stay still on a lot
of issue that's troubling me. I've learned it the hard way.
I do want you to understand that that sometimes it's
(01:06):
better to be still. Sometimes it's better to just let
God handle the situation now. And I know it's hard
to say because we think as people, but if I
do this, I would feel better if I do this now,
they'll feel how I feel. See, But that's not always
the best way though, I found in my life. Sometimes
(01:26):
you gotta like old people used to say, you gotta
let go and let God. I'm gonna tell you something, man,
I learned a lot from my mother being a Sunday
school teacher. But you know, at the same time, when
she was when I was young, I thought she was
just an old person just talking to me. I didn't
get it. You know how your parents used to talk
to you and you didn't get it, and they used
to always say, well, wait till you have your own kids,
(01:46):
you'll get it then, And sure enough you got it. Then. Well,
I'm the same way. I'm no different You know. I
don't have no different life than you. You. I don't
have no different upbringing in you. I don't have no
different ways that I can live and you can't. You
know that I got to live by the same laws
of the land that you got to live by. I
gotta obey the principles of success. If I want to
be successful, I gotta bam And you know, if I
(02:07):
want to go to heaven, I gotta do what God
tell me to do. As many times as I can
now you ain't gonna get it all right. But he
understand that, and I just get on with the best
I can. But so many times, man, we get stuck
right down, man, worrying about you know, how it's gonna
come across and what you know, you know, kind of
(02:28):
going around here because I'm trying to find a way
to tell you this that you won't get twisted. The
bottom line, you gotta let go and let God. You
have to allow him to do it his way. See,
I thought myself to a certain point, but to go further,
I had to let God have it. I found out
I wasn't all that good a driver. I found out
(02:48):
I wouldn't all that good of a explore with a map.
So I had to let go. I had to let God.
And you gotta understand that God works in mysterious ways.
How often had I thought it was over for me?
But what God was doing was he was teaching me
a lesson. He was showing me something that I needed
to know. He was allowing me to experience some things.
(03:10):
But he didn't let me go under. You know how
they say God and never put more on you than
you can bear. He won't let you go under. You know,
it's like the scripture that Bishop Alma taught me when
I was going through that traumatic thing on the internet. Man,
it was really really man trying to destroy what I
had worked for in my family, and it this new
life that God had presented me. And the devil is busy.
The devil don't like to see you happy. So here
(03:32):
he comes. He puts you under attack, and he comes
in and that and everything, and my kids are suffering.
But you know, here comes God. Though, see God don't
put more on you than you can bear. Bishop Olma
sent me a scripture. He sent me Isaiah forty three
one and two. And in that scripture it says to
the effect that you can walk through the water the rivers,
(03:54):
and the water won't overcome you. But then it said
you can walk through the fire and you will not
get burned, nor will kindling set upon your clothing. I
learned something very valuable that day. See God sent me
through something, but he was showing me something too. Now
he didn't do it. God didn't bring that calamity into
(04:15):
my life because in Isaiah fifty four seventeen it says
clearly that if anyone comes against you, it will not
be my doing. Now, this is what he promised you
when people come for you thought see, And this is
what I learned. That's why I have no fear of
the people coming anymore because I learned that. But God
had to send me through a traumatic experience in order
(04:36):
for me to learn that. You can't have a testimony
without a test you know what I'm saying. You can't
learn nothing without a lesson. So what he did was
he allowed that internet thing come across crossed into my life.
But he taught me something And Isaiah forty three to
one and two was and you could walk through the
fire and not get burned, nor will kindling set upon
your clothing. So what that said to me was, even
(04:58):
though you trying to do me and it's fire all
around me, I won't burn, But when it's over, kindling
won't set upon your clothing. What that showed me was
not only would I walk through the fire and not
get burned, but there will be no signs that I
was ever in the fire. There's no signs of it.
But not hold up though now he go to park
(05:19):
though that I had to learn even though you can
walk through the fire, y'all, And even though you're being
flames and scorching all around you. If you trust him,
he ain't gonna let you burn. But now hear what
he did not say. Though, he did not say that
it was not going to be uncomfortably hot, wickedly hot
in there. He ain't say that. He just said you
(05:41):
won't burn, and when it's over, it won't be no
signs that you was in the fire. See what happened
to me was after they tried to destroy me. Let
me show you what God did for me. Not only
did they not accomplish what they set out to do,
but when it was through with me though, when they
was through throwing the gas and throwing the fire, throwing
the hate and writing it in line and creating all
(06:02):
these names for themselves so it could look like most
people is hating when they got through it all that man,
look what he did to me. Look what he did
fum me, because he taught me something that day, And
I'm sharing it with you because God will do the
same thing for you. But you gotta trust him though,
You got to get in there and you got to
let him do it. You gotta let him handle it.
(06:23):
So just like pop Bridge just taught my wife, Marjorie.
Just because you can do something, don't mean y'all to
do something. Yeah, you could go down there and straighten
them out, but should you though? Yeah, you can go
down there and tell them all. Yeah, you can go
down stand up and make sure they know it's your voice,
that they hear it, and you can get in their
face and make a scene. But should you though, or
should you let go and let God? So before we
(06:46):
run all out in the streets and somebody go out
there and do something crazy, let's hold tight. Now I'm
not saying don't go out there, but you gotta watch
you you go out there with But you can go
down there with peace in your heart. Somebody decided I'm
gonna throw a brick through here and bustle window. Hold up, partner,
Hold up. That ain't what we're down here doing. So See, sometimes, man,
you gotta let go, and you gotta let God. You
gotta let God have situations sometimes and you get in
(07:09):
there and do the things that he tell you to do.
See bish ohman and taught me a lot. He had
another book out and he said, you know, knowing God's
Voice or something like that. I'm not sure the title,
but I never really knew the definition of how do
you know it's God's voice talking to you? Well, he
clearly made a statement. God's voice has no sining in it.
(07:30):
Whenever you're talking about I'm gonna go, I'm gonna show him,
I'm gonna get him back. If it's sining in it,
God ain't in it. See that's you now. God's voice
has no sining in it. So when you say God
told me be careful, because God ain't never told you
to go do nothing wrong, that ain't what he told you.
(07:50):
And I learned that too. It's a lot, so I'm
just sharing today. I hope it helps somebody today get
through a difficult time because the show has helped me.
