Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will come on with everybody you
are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
one and only 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, he
lets you have it. If you say I need you,
come see about me.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
He right there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's just a real simple thing, man. So always say
to people this, if you've gotten yourself into something, and
please know I have.
Speaker 3 (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. But then if
I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And
then I held on to this little thing that my
mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes some
(01:45):
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
possibility out there for me? I show hope, something happened. See,
(02:07):
hope is okay, man, Because like I say, for me,
the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
of faith.
Speaker 3 (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 3 (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.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Say, when it get real, dog for your son, prayer
changes things. She said.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
When you seem like 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
(03:35):
combine that prayer with that hope that you got, she said,
because that hope is the 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,
(03:57):
she saying, you start believing, she said, And that's when
you're on to something. If you can turn that hope
into belief, that hope into faith. That's the ability to
believe in something that you can't see. But the key
(04:18):
though the faith, is you're believing in something that you
can't see. See hoping a little bit 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.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hope is.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
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 to me God,
I show hope something change.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Hope helps. 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 I ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing
(05:18):
in 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
(05:41):
my faith. See, 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 start going down this whole
list of all these different religions out here.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But really an essence, man, when I talk.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
To people about faith, I'm talking to you about your
your belief. How much do you believe in the unseen?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
See?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Faith is the core of all that is happening to
me today. 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 3 (06:41):
They just come. And it comes in a lot of
little ways too.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I've started to notice, See it ain't just a lot
of people think blessings is money. 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
(07:07):
that get poured out to me. Somebody call me and
offer me something, not money, but 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
(07:28):
him to make you a better person, to help shape
and mold you into the kind of 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?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
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. If he didn't, you wouldn't
keep waking upright
