Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will. A good morning everybody. You're
listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One
and only Steve Harley 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 tell
(00:20):
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 that
(00:43):
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 issues
that's troubling me. I've learned it the hard way. I
do want you to understand that that sometimes it's better
(01:03):
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 you
(01:24):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You'll get it then. And sure enough you got it. Then.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, I'm the same way. I'm no different you know.
I don't have no different life than you. You 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,
I gotta live by the same laws of the land
that you got to live by. I got to obey
the principles of success if I want to be successful.
I got a BAM, And you know, if I want
to go to heaven, I gotta do what God tell
(02:07):
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 I know, you know, kind of going around here
because I'm trying to find a way to tell you
(02:28):
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 I wouldn't
all that good of a explore with a map. So
(02:50):
I had to let go. I had to let God.
And you got to understand that God works in mysterious ways.
How often had I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Over for me?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But what God will he's 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.
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.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Man, it was really really man trying.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
To destroy what I had worked for in my family
and this new life that God had presented me. And
the devil is busy. The devil don't like to see
you happy. So here he comes. He puts you under attack,
and he comes in and net and everything. And my
kids are suffering. But you know, here comes God. Don't see.
God don't put more on you than you can bear.
And Bishop Olma sent me a scripture. He sent me
(03:43):
Isaiah forty three one and two. And then that scripture
it says to the effect that you can walk through
the water the rivers, 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,
(04:05):
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 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, though, see,
and this is what I learned.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's why I have no fear of.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The people coming anymore because I learned that. But God
had to send me through a traumatic experience in order
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
(04:47):
one and two was and you could walk through the
fire and not get burned, nor what kindling set upon
your clothing. So what that said to me was, even
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
(05:07):
get burned, but there would be no signs that I
was ever in the fire. There's no signs of it.
But not hold up though. Now here go the part 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
(05:30):
was not going to be uncomfortably hot, wickedly hot in there.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
He ain't say that. He just said you won't.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
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 and throwing
the hate and writing it and lining and creating all
(06:00):
these names for themselves so it could look like most
people is hating when they got.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Through it all that man, look what he did to me.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Look what he did, fummy, 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. 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,
(06:30):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
But should you though, or should you let go and
let God?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So before we 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 who you go out there with. But you
can go down there with peace in your heart. Somebody
decide I'm gonna throw a brick through here and bust
a window. Hold up, partner, hold up, dreg what we're
down here. So see, sometimes, man, you gotta let go,
and you gotta let God. You gotta let God have
(07:04):
situations sometimes and you get it in 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 sin in it. Whenever
(07:28):
you're talking about i'ma go, I'm gonna show him, I'm
gonna get him back.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
If it's sining in it, God ain't in it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And I learned that too. It's a lot, so I'm
just sharing today.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I hope it helps somebody today get through a difficult time,
because the show has helped me
