[0:04] Speaker 1: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You all listen to
[0:08] Speaker 1: the voice. Come on, dig me now. One and only,
[0:11] Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. Oh, yeah, man. Got a radio show. Do
[0:15] Speaker 1: you understand that? I'm telling you, God been big in
[0:18] Speaker 1: my life. I'm not going to kid you. I'm telling you,
[0:21] Speaker 1: and he'll do the same thing for you. God is
[0:25] Speaker 1: a gentleman, you know. I want to point that out
[0:27] Speaker 1: to you. God is an absolute gentleman. He will not
[0:33] Speaker 1: come in unless he's invited. He don't just barge into
[0:38] Speaker 1: your life. He gives us the power of choice. You know,
[0:43] Speaker 1: if you say you got it, I don't need you.
[0:46] Speaker 1: He lets you have it. If you say I need you,
[0:50] Speaker 1: come see about me. He right there. It's just a
[0:53] Speaker 1: real simple thing, man. So always say to people this.
[0:58] Speaker 1: If you've gotten yourself into something, and please know I have,
[1:06] Speaker 1: I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well,
[1:11] Speaker 1: might not make it past this one. But then if
[1:15] Speaker 1: I don't make it past it, what's going to happen?
[1:18] Speaker 1: And then I held on to this little thing that
[1:20] Speaker 1: my mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes, son,
[1:24] Speaker 1: when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope.
[1:28] Speaker 1: She said, just hope it'll be all right. You know,
[1:31] Speaker 1: and what I've learned in my life is that hope
[1:34] Speaker 1: is the beginning of faith. Hope is just, is there
[1:39] Speaker 1: a possibility out there for me? I sure hope something happened. See, hope,
[1:48] Speaker 1: hope is okay, man. Because like I say, for me,
[1:52] Speaker 1: the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning
[1:55] Speaker 1: of faith. It was just the idea that, It's just
[1:58] Speaker 1: a thought that something could change for me, that something
[2:01] Speaker 1: could be a little bit different for me, that maybe, man,
[2:05] Speaker 1: just maybe for some reason I could be saved. I
[2:10] Speaker 1: could be rescued. Things could turn around. It could head
[2:14] Speaker 1: in the other direction. Maybe I could quit messing up.
[2:18] Speaker 1: Maybe somebody will forgive me. Maybe somebody will just say,
[2:21] Speaker 1: all right, I don't know. But I can't count the
[2:25] Speaker 1: times I've been in that position. But then once I
[2:28] Speaker 1: hope a little bit, and then I remember also my
[2:30] Speaker 1: mother because she was a Sunday school teacher. She taught
[2:34] Speaker 1: me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life.
[2:37] Speaker 1: Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith.
[2:40] Speaker 1: She taught me to pray. Mama used to say, when
[2:43] Speaker 1: it get real dark for you, son, Prayer changes things.
[2:47] Speaker 1: She said, when you seem like you lost and you
[2:50] Speaker 1: can't find your way, stop and pray. She said, because
[2:54] Speaker 1: prayer changes things. You know, when you get a point
[2:58] Speaker 1: in your life when you've done all you can do
[2:59] Speaker 1: and you can't do no more and you just don't
[3:02] Speaker 1: know what to do next. She said, stop, son, pray.
[3:07] Speaker 1: And combine that prayer with that hope that you got.
[3:11] Speaker 1: She said, because that hope is the beginning of faith.
[3:14] Speaker 1: She said, if you pray just hoping, she said, a
[3:17] Speaker 1: God come through for you. That'll give you confidence that
[3:21] Speaker 1: he can do it again. And then after a while,
[3:23] Speaker 1: you quit hoping. She's saying you start believing. She said,
[3:27] Speaker 1: and that's when you're on to something. If you can
[3:29] Speaker 1: turn that hope into belief, that hope into faith, the
[3:35] Speaker 1: ability to believe in something that you can't see. But
[3:39] Speaker 1: the key, though, to faith is you're believing in something
[3:42] Speaker 1: that you can't see. See, hoping a little bit different
[3:46] Speaker 1: for me. Now, I'm pretty sure, like I say, oftentimes
[3:48] Speaker 1: I tell a lot of people who can explain this
[3:51] Speaker 1: thing a lot better than I can to you. But
[3:53] Speaker 1: just from my side of it, being as real as
[3:56] Speaker 1: I can be with you. See, hope helps, man. If
[4:00] Speaker 1: you ain't strong enough to have faith, have hope. And
[4:03] Speaker 1: then if you pray with some hope and God answers
[4:06] Speaker 1: your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence. And
[4:10] Speaker 1: after a while, that confidence becomes faith. Not a just hoping,
[4:16] Speaker 1: but I'm believing I'm believing is something that I cannot see.
[4:21] Speaker 1: Faith has been the key to my entire existence. Even
[4:28] Speaker 1: when I didn't have any, it was faith. As I
[4:32] Speaker 1: look back on it, that has gotten me here and
[4:35] Speaker 1: not just faith, but my faith. See, you will only
[4:40] Speaker 1: get to where you're going in your life. Based on
[4:44] Speaker 1: your faith. See, a lot of people get the word
[4:48] Speaker 1: faith confused. Like, what's your faith? And then they start
[4:51] Speaker 1: going down this whole list of all these different religions
[4:54] Speaker 1: out here. But really, in essence, man, when I talk
[4:57] Speaker 1: to people about faith, I'm talking to you about your,
[5:02] Speaker 1: your belief. How much do you believe in the unseen?
[5:07] Speaker 1: How much do you believe in the things you can't see?
[5:11] Speaker 1: How much do you believe in the impossible? How much
[5:15] Speaker 1: do you believe? See, because faith is the belief in
[5:21] Speaker 1: things that you cannot see. Faith is the core of
[5:27] Speaker 1: all that is happening to me today. It is the
[5:30] Speaker 1: faith that I have in my relationship with God that
[5:34] Speaker 1: enables me to just oftentimes believe. If I stay on
[5:39] Speaker 1: the right course and believe a certain way and act
[5:43] Speaker 1: a certain way, his blessings just pour. They just come.
[5:50] Speaker 1: And it comes in a lot of little ways, too.
[5:52] Speaker 1: I've started to notice. See, it ain't just a lot
[5:55] Speaker 1: of people think blessings is money. No, man, that ain't it.
[5:58] Speaker 1: It's coverage. It's every time my plane lands safe. It's
[6:04] Speaker 1: every time they predict bad weather and I get up
[6:07] Speaker 1: in the sky and it don't be no bad weather.
[6:10] Speaker 1: You know, this is favor. These are blessings that get
[6:14] Speaker 1: poured out to me. Somebody call me and offer me something.
[6:19] Speaker 1: Not money, but an opportunity. You know, somebody say, hey, man,
[6:25] Speaker 1: I don't know, but I sent this to you. I
[6:26] Speaker 1: thought you might be interested in it. Somebody send me
[6:29] Speaker 1: a scripture or somebody send me something. That's favor. And
[6:34] Speaker 1: it always comes at a time when I need it
[6:37] Speaker 1: the most. That's favor. That's pouring out blessings. Now, I'm
[6:42] Speaker 1: also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too.
[6:46] Speaker 1: You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing, man.
[6:50] Speaker 1: I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've
[6:55] Speaker 1: been blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See,
[7:02] Speaker 1: blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie
[7:06] Speaker 1: into God, once you tie in and you start doing
[7:10] Speaker 1: the best you can do and you start asking for
[7:13] Speaker 1: him to make you a better person, to help shape
[7:17] Speaker 1: and mold you into the kind of man or person
[7:20] Speaker 1: that he wants you to be. You'd be amazed what
[7:23] Speaker 1: God can do with you, man, if you just invite
[7:26] Speaker 1: him in and allow him to be a part of
[7:28] Speaker 1: your life. I mean, what you got to lose out there?
[7:31] Speaker 1: Come on. If you're sitting in the cell this morning,
[7:34] Speaker 1: why would you not change? You have a chance to
[7:37] Speaker 1: turn your life around with a relationship with God. What
[7:40] Speaker 1: you waiting on? Are you going to just keep doing
[7:42] Speaker 1: it like that, huh? Really? Come on, man. Why would
[7:47] Speaker 1: you do that to yourself? Why would you not allow
[7:50] Speaker 1: God to be a part of your life? So you
[7:52] Speaker 1: can get to where he wants you to be. God
[7:54] Speaker 1: got some big plans for you. If he didn't, you
[7:56] Speaker 1: wouldn't keep waking up. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
