[0:00] Speaker 1: Come on. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You
[0:07] Speaker 1: are listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
[0:09] Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Man,
[0:14] Speaker 1: one more time. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah,
[0:17] Speaker 1: I do, man. I thank God for it every day.
[0:20] Speaker 1: You know, um, my message this morning, man, is real clear.
[0:25] Speaker 1: It's something that's been on me to share. And, um,
[0:30] Speaker 1: It's amazing, you know. God can do some amazing things
[0:37] Speaker 1: for you. But what happens along the way is, and
[0:43] Speaker 1: I don't know that I mean to say but, but
[0:46] Speaker 1: the fact that God can do some amazing things for you,
[0:50] Speaker 1: there comes adversity along with it. Every single time. It
[0:59] Speaker 1: just goes without saying. And I was having a fairly,
[1:06] Speaker 1: I mean, well, not fairly, but a hugely successful week.
[1:10] Speaker 1: I had never seen this type of hatred before. I
[1:15] Speaker 1: hadn't seen it. And it's a great trick that the
[1:20] Speaker 1: devil does, you know, when God is blessing you and
[1:23] Speaker 1: giving you Some of some some great opportunities in your life,
[1:26] Speaker 1: as all of you have gone through. And it is
[1:29] Speaker 1: isn't it amazing how some negative thing crops up and
[1:33] Speaker 1: that's what you have to focus on. I found out
[1:37] Speaker 1: that I don't have to, but you wind up focusing
[1:39] Speaker 1: on it and your energy goes over to that to
[1:42] Speaker 1: try to deal with it, counteract, wonder why it was happening.
[1:46] Speaker 1: You got to make phone calls. What was this about? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[1:50] Speaker 1: And it throws you off the course you are on.
[1:55] Speaker 1: The beginning of the week, I was so grateful. I
[1:58] Speaker 1: was so amazed. I was really thanking God for opportunity.
[2:01] Speaker 1: For this brief moment, the enemy slides this This little
[2:06] Speaker 1: factor in that it causes you to, and it requires
[2:10] Speaker 1: your attention. You have to pay attention because you don't know.
[2:12] Speaker 1: You're going, wow, man, let me see what this could
[2:15] Speaker 1: really be. How much dirt is this really that they're
[2:19] Speaker 1: trying to do? And so it requires your attention. But
[2:22] Speaker 1: in that attention, you lose your focus on really all
[2:27] Speaker 1: the blessings and the good thing that God does for you.
[2:31] Speaker 1: The enemy has an amazing trick that he does that.
[2:34] Speaker 1: And it was, and it was in my head. I
[2:37] Speaker 1: got to tell y'all all week long, man. And I
[2:39] Speaker 1: was doing some amazing stuff. I was having such a
[2:43] Speaker 1: blessed week, man, in terms of press and PR and
[2:46] Speaker 1: where God was taking me. And then when I got back,
[2:50] Speaker 1: I was talking with my wife and then I was
[2:54] Speaker 1: talking to a good friend of ours and they shared something.
[2:59] Speaker 1: That really helped me out. And they said to me,
[3:04] Speaker 1: new level, new devil. You know, it's something really simple.
[3:11] Speaker 1: But new level, new devil. Every time you go to
[3:15] Speaker 1: another level, every time you go a little bit higher.
[3:20] Speaker 1: Every time God has a blessing in store for you,
[3:24] Speaker 1: every time he moves you in position, do you understand
[3:28] Speaker 1: that the enemy's job is to make you not see
[3:31] Speaker 1: the blessing, make you not be grateful for it, lose
[3:35] Speaker 1: your focus and focus on this that I just threw
[3:38] Speaker 1: in your way, this stumbling block, this obstacle, this trickery.
[3:43] Speaker 1: And man, I was, I was, I got, I just
[3:46] Speaker 1: got to tell you, man, I mean, it was so
[3:48] Speaker 1: filled with hatred. I really spent some time addressing it.
[3:53] Speaker 1: I got publicists on the phone. I said, what's happening here?
[3:55] Speaker 1: Y'all not watching this? What was this attack? You didn't
[4:00] Speaker 1: know these angles? And, you know, Steve, chill. New level,
[4:06] Speaker 1: new devil. If you get a promotion on your job,
[4:10] Speaker 1: guess what? Somebody ain't happy that you got the promotion.
[4:14] Speaker 1: So here come the hate. You don't even really know
[4:17] Speaker 1: these people. You have no idea. Every time you make
[4:22] Speaker 1: a decision to make your relationship with your spouse better, man,
[4:27] Speaker 1: this is it. You know what I'm going to start doing?
[4:29] Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, man, so me and my
[4:31] Speaker 1: girl can go on and have this, or me and
[4:33] Speaker 1: my man can go on and have this. Watch what happens.
[4:36] Speaker 1: Every single time, here comes the new level, the new devil,
[4:42] Speaker 1: the trick. You don't need to do that. What you
[4:44] Speaker 1: doing that for her? She don't appreciate it. He ain't
[4:46] Speaker 1: gonna appreciate it. Look over here, man. Look at that
[4:49] Speaker 1: right there. Ain't he not? You know, he missed. He
[4:51] Speaker 1: didn't call you. And he said, there's all types of stuff.
[4:54] Speaker 1: It just happens all the time. And I was sitting
[4:57] Speaker 1: here talking with this friend, really good friend, very spiritual person.
[5:01] Speaker 1: And they said, you know something, Steve, you know, I
[5:03] Speaker 1: was talking to Jesus and said, I was having this
[5:06] Speaker 1: conversation with Christ. And I said, God, for real? You
[5:12] Speaker 1: mean to tell me every time that something good happens
[5:16] Speaker 1: to me? You mean every time I try to go
[5:19] Speaker 1: to the next level, every time you put me on
[5:21] Speaker 1: the next level, you mean to tell me that I
[5:24] Speaker 1: got to go through this right here? Are you for real?
[5:29] Speaker 1: And then my friend said, Jesus said to her, they
[5:33] Speaker 1: did it to me. And we just fell out laughing.
[5:37] Speaker 1: They did it to me. They did it to him.
[5:42] Speaker 1: They did it to him for him to go to
[5:44] Speaker 1: the next level. And, you know, I was just I
[5:47] Speaker 1: was just going over the whole story about the crucifixion
[5:50] Speaker 1: and everything. That had to be amazing, man. Of all
[5:53] Speaker 1: the hate he had endured, all the prosecuting he had
[5:56] Speaker 1: do it. They thought ultimately what we'll do is we'll
[6:00] Speaker 1: nail him on a cross and crucify him. And that'll
[6:03] Speaker 1: be the end of him. And we'll put him in
[6:05] Speaker 1: this tune and we'll put this big stone up there
[6:08] Speaker 1: and that'll be the end of him. But what they
[6:10] Speaker 1: did not know was all you was doing was setting
[6:13] Speaker 1: the tone for the next level because eventually the stone
[6:17] Speaker 1: got rolled away and he went and got placed with
[6:20] Speaker 1: his father where he was headed to. Anyway, he ultimately
[6:24] Speaker 1: knew that his ultimate goal was to get to his father. So,
[6:31] Speaker 1: When you thought you were doing what you were doing
[6:34] Speaker 1: to him and you put him in a tune and
[6:37] Speaker 1: you put the big stone up in there and the
[6:39] Speaker 1: stone got rolled away and he went eventually to where
[6:44] Speaker 1: he was trying to get to. That story is in
[6:48] Speaker 1: place for all of us to remember that when we
[6:53] Speaker 1: are going through some things, could it be because we
[6:56] Speaker 1: are going to a place? You know, it could be
[6:59] Speaker 1: just a place in life. It could be just a
[7:03] Speaker 1: different level in life. That's all it has to be.
[7:05] Speaker 1: But there's going to be the adversarial challenges that come
[7:10] Speaker 1: with it. And those are the moments we must expect
[7:15] Speaker 1: and take them head on and still not lose your
[7:18] Speaker 1: focus or appreciation for what God has done for you.
[7:21] Speaker 1: So in light of all of that, I'm able to
[7:23] Speaker 1: say today that I thank my Heavenly Father. I really
[7:26] Speaker 1: do for all the blessings He's bestowed upon me. And
[7:30] Speaker 1: all of the haters and all of the liars and
[7:34] Speaker 1: all of the backstabbers and all those people. When you
[7:37] Speaker 1: get through lying, when you get through stabbing, when you
[7:42] Speaker 1: get through gossiping and doing what you do. I'm still
[7:47] Speaker 1: going to the next level. I'm still going. You cannot
[7:54] Speaker 1: stop what God has in store for you. No one
[7:58] Speaker 1: can stop that. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
