Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will coome on. Everybody
you are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvis. Man oh man got a
radio show? Yeah, dode. God so big to me, man,
I just have to tell you about it. I can't
help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how

(00:23):
good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain,
you know. Man, I want to share something with you today.
You know, if you're out there, start your mission today.
Why don't we all decide together better yet? Let's just
kill that cause you don't that just individually. Look you listening,

(00:47):
everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they
haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start
your mission today? Stop the procrastination now. And if you
and if you allow practic excuse me, man, if you
allow procrastination to set in, then that that allows then

(01:08):
which is a weakness, you know, but that allows the
devil then to just really do his thing. Because an
idle mind is the devil's playground. So if you ain't
working on your goals, dreams, aspirations, or visions, you just
you're just waking up seeing how today gon go or
the devil. He got plenty for it for you to do. See.
But if you get your mind right on your goal

(01:30):
and your focus and your purpose, then you can go
on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you
can catch yourself. Now. Don't mean you ain't gonna fall
privy or fall prey to some of your distractions, because
you will, but you will have a goal in mind
and aspiration that makes you go. Hold on, man, I
got to stay focused here because what I really want

(01:50):
while I'm really trying to go the thing that I'm
really after, this new little thing that's being introduced, this
don't fit into the equation. Man. Let me keep it moving,
or you may step off the line for a little while,
you know. Like I said yesterday, the thing about God
is he's so forgiving that if you get out of line,
he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing.

(02:11):
A lot of people that do that for you too.
Like I said, if you at the movie theater or
you at the amusement park and you're in the line
and you forget something, if you politely ask the person
behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car.
Left something, would you hold my place? Most people say, fine,
Ye'll go ahead and when you come back, they don't
have a problem. See your problem is is you want
to get out the line, go do something, then come
back and just get up in the line further up

(02:33):
than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a
problem because see everybody looking at you now like hi,
woa partner? Where you come from? You know the line
start back here? But see the thing with God is
God don't do that. God don't say the line start
back here. God holds your place. When you make a
mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place.

(02:53):
But if you ain't got no dreams aspiration, if you
ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See
I mean He got a place for you, but you
got to come to it. See some people, Well, here's
what I'm saying. If you got a goal of aspiration
to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can
get back to that because God knows where you left off.

(03:18):
Now you may have to accomplish a few more things
since you stopped for a long period of time, but
God knows where you left off. You can get back
on track. I look Man, this dream of being on
TV since I was a kid, and it got off track.
Now it got off track. I just kept it as
one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments
when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I

(03:41):
was hanging on to was just to hope that one
day it could. But that's what faith is really about.
Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man,
Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse
Jackson say it, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, Man, it's

(04:02):
just the hope. I was hanging on a hope. And
I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky
out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't
gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was
in and everything pointed in the direction you not gonna
make it. You done really messed up this time. Then

(04:22):
I sat there and I just hung on to the hope.
But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a
dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall
off track and you want to go get back in line,
God holds your place he knew I was off tracking,
out of line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped.

(04:43):
You wanna be on TV that when you get it
together and you quit tripping, and you come and you
turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you
back in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey. That
took me a lot longer to get here than I
wanted to, But then it was necessary because I needed
all of them mishaps to happen to me along the way.
So when I got on the radio one day, which
I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all.

(05:05):
That's why I say it every day. See, because of
this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I
have stories to tell, and I can tell you about
me better I can tell you about anybody. And I
don't been through enough whereas relatable where enough people can
go mad. That happened to me. Appreciate you saying that
that's what it was for. See, I get it now.

(05:25):
See at the time, though I didn't like what was
happening to me. At the time, I was really in
total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he
was pulling off on me, but in essence, I was
really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace
and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes,
all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires,

(05:48):
all the times I knowingly stepped out there and did wrong.
He forgave me, He said, because man, if you ever
come to me, I have a plan for you that
is going to be far and above. It will supersede
everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I
just got sick of me. Goodn't sick of me? And

(06:10):
I turned it over to God. And then God started
working and here I am today. Now he threw with me.
Yet Nope, Have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what
the journey is cool? And then you know what I
found out. That's kind of what it's like in life.
If you done walked off the cliff in life and

(06:32):
you ain't got no God in your life, it's like
not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and
you just free falling. We all now that fag gets
you closer to the grave, right see, We all heading
to the grave from the moment we're born. But the
cool thing about a relationship with God is when you
step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute.

(06:54):
You still going down, but it's a nice ride. You
guide and you glide, and your awfully you enjoy. You
look around, you're smiling, You're meeting other people along the way.
You're floating over here to ski a little while. You
over there at the beach for a little while. You
mess around over here, you get to go out the
country a little bit on your parachuting and all that,

(07:15):
and God just helps you. Your descent appear more like
a rise and more like a euphoric fall, instead of
not having no God in your life and you just
walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got
no cord, You steady pulling, you hollering the whole way
because you to mess around with yourself, and ain't let

(07:36):
God come into your life and provide a parachute for you.
I would rather have a parachute since I got to
jump every day, than to not have one. God has
been like a parachute for me. Ask me where that
came from. I can't tell you, But like I always say,
most good things that happen in my life that I
can't explain is usually him listening Eve Harvey Morning Show
