Speaker 1 (00:04):
I sure will.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, come
on dig me now, one and only.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a radio show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Do you understand that I'm telling you God been big
in my life. God, God is a gentleman, you know.
I want to I want to point that out to you.
God is an absolute gentleman. He will not come in
unless he's invited. He don't just barge into your life.

(00:36):
He gives us the power of choice. You know, if
you say you got it, I don't need you.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
He lets you have it. If you say I need you,
come see about me. He right there. It's just a
real simple thing, man.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself
into something, and please know I have.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I man see that.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's why I'm so adamant about it, because I've gotten
myself in some circumstances and positions in my life. Well,
I've been, I've been. I've had some low moments. Man,
I've had some moments where I did not know what
to do. I didn't know what was next, I didn't
know how to go about it. I didn't have no

(01:24):
more ideas. I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well,
might not make it past this one.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But then if I don't make it past it, what's
gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And then I held on to this little thing that
my mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes
some when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope,
she said, just hope it'll be all right, you know.
And what I've learned in my life is that hope
is the beginning of faith. Hope is just is there

(01:59):
pssibility out there for me? I show hope, something happened.
See hope is okay, man, Because like I say, for me,
the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
of faith.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was just the idea.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's just the thought that something could change for me,
that something could be a little bit different from me,
that maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could
be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around,
it could hit any other direction.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Maybe I could quit messing up.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Maybe somebody will forgive me, maybe somebody will just say
all right. I don't know, but I can't count the
times I've been in that position. But then once I
hope a little bit, and then I remember also my
mother because she was a Sunday school teacher. She taught
me the most a lesson I've ever learned in my life.

(03:02):
Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith.
She taught me to pray. Mama used to say, when
it get real, dog, for your son, prayer change is things,
she said.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
When you seem like.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
You lost and you can't find your way, stop and pray,
she said, because prayer change is things. You know, when
you get a point in your life when you've done
all you can do and you can't do no more,
and you just don't know what to do next, she said, stop, son,
pray and combine that prayer with that hope that you got,

(03:41):
she said, because that hope is to beginning of faith,
she said. If you pray just hoping, she said, to
God come through for you. That'll give you confidence that
he can do it again. And then after a while,
you quit hoping, she saying, you start believing, she said,
And that's when you're on to something. If you can

(04:03):
turn that hope into belief, that hope into Faith's that's
the ability to believe in something that you can't see.
But the key though the faith is you're believing in
something that you can't see. See hoping a little bit

(04:25):
different from me. Now, I'm pretty sure. Like I say
oftentimes to tell a lot of people who can explain
this thing a lot better than I can to you,
hope is just kind of I don't know how to
I don't know how to say it. But I'm just
telling you, hope is. You're just hoping it work right.
You just have a thought in your mind that you know, Man,
whoever you are, or whoever you are, whatever you are

(04:46):
to me God, I show hope something change. Hope helps.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Man. If you ain't strong enough to have faith, have.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Hope, hope, and then if you pray with some hope
and God answers your prayer, then that hope gains a
little confidence, and after a while that confidence becomes faith.
Now theyin't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in

(05:18):
something that I cannot see. Faith has been the key
to my entire existence, even when I didn't have any
It was faith, as I look back on it, that
has gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See,

(05:45):
you will only get to where you're going in your
life based on your faith. See a lot of people
get the word faith, confused like what's your faith? And
then they started going down this whole list of all
these different religions out here. But really an essence, man,
when I talk to people about faith, I'm talking to

(06:07):
you about your your belief. How much do you believe
in the unseen?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
See? Faith is the core of all that is happening
to me today.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It is the faith that I have in my relationship
with God that enables me to just oftentimes, if I
stay on the right course and believe a certain way
and act a certain way, his blessings just poor.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
They just come. And it comes in a lot of
little ways too. I've started to notice, See it ain't
just a lot of people think blessings is money.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Nah, man, that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time
my plane lands safe. It's every time they predict bad
weather and I get up in the sky and it
don't be no bad weather. You know, this is this
is favor. These are blessings that get poured out to me.
Somebody call me and offer me something, not money, but

(07:13):
an opportunity. See, blessings come a lot of ways. But
once you tie in to God, once you tie in
and you start doing the best you can do, and
you start asking for him to make you a better person,
to help shape and mold you into the kind of

(07:33):
man or person that he wants you to be. You
be amazed what God can do with you, man, if
you just invite me in and allow him to be
a part of your life. I mean, what you got
to lose out there? Come on, why would you not change?
Why would you not allow God to be a part
of your life. God got some big plans for you.

(07:54):
If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up.
