come on dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey
got a radio show, Man one more time. Steve Harvey
got a radio show. Yeah, I do, man, I thank
God for it every day. You know my message this morning, man,
is real clear. It's something that's been on me to share,

(02:26):
and it's it's amazing. You know, God can do some
amazing things for you. But what happens along the way
is and I don't know that I mean to say,
but but the fact that God can do some amazing

(02:46):
things for you, that comes adversity along with it. Every
single time, it just goes without saying. And I uh,
I was having a a faily. I mean, well, not fairly,
but a hugely successful week. I had never seen this

(03:10):
type of hatred before. I hadn't seen it. And it's
it's a great trick that the devil does, you know,
when when God is blessing you and giving you some
some some great opportunities in your life as all of
you have gone through, and it is. Isn't it amazing
how some negative thing crops up and that's what you

(03:31):
have to focus on. I found out that I don't
have to, but you wind up focusing on it, and
your energy goes over to that to try to deal
with it, counteract. Wonder why it was happening. You got
to make phone calls, what was this about? Blah blah
blah blah blah, and and it and it, and it
throws you off the course you are on the beginning

(03:53):
of the week. I was so grateful, I was so amazed.
I was really thanking God for opportunity for this brief moment.
The enemy slides this little factor in that it causes
you and it requires your attention. You have to pay
it attention because you don't know what you're going. Wow, man,
let me see what this could really be. How much

(04:15):
dirt is this really that they're trying to do? And
so it requires your attention, but in that attention, you
lose your focus on really all the blessings and the
good thing that God does for you. The enemy has
an amazing trick that he does that, And it was
in my head. I got to tell y'all all week long, man,

(04:36):
and I was doing some amazing stuff. I was having
such a blessed week, man, in terms of press and
pr and where God was taking me. And then when
I got back, I was talking with my wife, and
then I was talking to a good friend of ours
and they shared something that really helped me out. And

(05:00):
they said to me, new level, new devil. You know
it's it's it's something really simple, but new level new devil.
Every time you go to another level, every time you
go a little bit higher, every time God has a
blessing in store for you, every time He moves you

(05:23):
in position, do you understand that the enemy's job is
to make you not see the blessing, make you not
be grateful for it, lose your focus and focus on
this that I just threw in your way, this stumbling block,
this obstacle, this trickery, And man, I was, I was,
I got you. I just got to tell you man.

(05:44):
I mean, it was so filled with hatred that I
had to I really spend some time addressing it. I
you know, I got publicists on the phone. I said,
what's what's happening here? Y'all? Not watching this? Y'all not?
What was? What was this attack? You knew that you
didn't know these angles? What was you know? Steve Chill,
new level, new devil. If you get a promotion on

(06:07):
your job, guess what. Somebody ain't happy that you got
the promotion. So here come the hay. You don't even
really know these people. You have no idea. Every time
you make a decision to make your relationship with your
spouse better, man, this is it. You know what I'm
gonna start doing. I'm gonna do this, man, so me

(06:28):
and my girl can go on and have this, or
me and my man can go on and have this.
Watch what happened every single time? Here comes the new level,
the new devil, the trick. You don't need to do that.
What you're doing that for hers? She don't appreciate it.
He ain't gon appreciate it. Look over here, man, look
at that right there. Ain't he no? You know he missed?

(06:49):
He ain't call you, and he said, it's all types
of stuff. It just happens all the time. And I
was sitting at it talking with this friend, really good friend,
very spiritual person, and they said, uh, you know something, Steve.
You know, I was talking to Jesus and said I
was having this conversation with Christ. And I said, God,
for real, you mean to tell me every time that

(07:12):
something good happens to me? You mean every time I
try to go to the next level, every time you
put me on the next level. You mean to tell
me that I got to go through this right here?
Are you for real? And then my friend said, Jesus
said to her, they did it to me, and we

(07:33):
just fell out laughing. They did it to me. They
did it to him. They did it to him for
him to go to the next level. And you know,
I was just I was just going over the whole
story about the crucifixion and everything that had to be
amazing man of all the hate he had ended, all
the prosecuting he had do it. They thought, ultimately, what

(07:56):
we'll do is we'll nail him on a cross crucifie
and that'll be the end of him. And we'll put
him in this tune and we'll put this big stone
up there and that'll be the end of him. But
what they did not know was all you was doing
was setting the tone for the next level, because eventually
the stone got rolled away and he went and got

(08:17):
placed with his father where he was headed to. Anyway,
he ultimately knew that his ultimate goal was to get
to his father. So when you when you when you
thought you were doing what you were doing to him,
and you put him in the tune and you put
the big stone up in there, and the stone got rolls,

(08:39):
got rolled away, and he went eventually to where he
was trying to get to. That story is in place
for all of us to remember that when we are
going through some things, could it be because we're going
to a place, you know, It could be just a
place in life. It could be just a different level

(09:01):
in life. That's all it has to be. But there's
going to be the adversarial challenges that come with it,
and those are the moments we must expect, expect and
take them head on and still not lose your focus
or appreciation for what God has done for you. So
in light of all of that, I'm able to say

(09:21):
today that I thank my heavenly Father, I really do
for all the blessing seeds to bestowed upon me and
all of the haters and all of the liars, and
all of the backstabers and all those people. When you
get through lyon, when you get through stabbing, when you
get through gossiping and doing what you do, I'm still

(09:45):
going to the next level. I'm still going. You cannot
stop what God has in store for you. No one
can stop that morning. Oh
