Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will A good morning everybody, y'all
listening to the voice. Come on, dig me now wanted
only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, here we go. Um.
I was working out. I was talking to a buddy
of mine and I was telling him something that Bishop T. D.

(00:23):
Jake's told me one time. I heard him say it.
He said, Oh, I would hate to die and not
do the thing that I was born to do. I
would hate to die and not do the theme that
I was born to do. Man, oh man, oh man. Man.

(00:47):
That hit me like a like a like a pile
of bricks man, because it made me feel so grateful
that God has allowed me to live my life this
way now. And I'm talking about grateful for all of it,

(01:07):
the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I have
had all of them. The person you see today, it
ain't always who I was. It was on the inside
of me, but it hadn't externalized itself, if that's a word.
It hadn't been brought out. It was in here, but

(01:28):
it was under development. Who I am today was a process.
But like I said before, don't trip hein through with
me yet. Even today, I'm still an imperfect soldier for Christ.
Today I still fall short oftentimes, but I'll tell you what.

(01:53):
I'm ever grateful for the life I have. And you
know what, I want to encourage everybody it today to
explore your possibilities. I mean, man, explore your possibilities. Why
would you not want to find out, discover or no

(02:20):
what it is God God for you? Why would you
not want to achieve or accomplish all of your possibilities? Now,
as I ask you this question, I want you to
know that the devil is busy, that he plays mind tricks.
So as you hear this, I already know he's saying
to some of y'all, Yeah, Steve, that's easy for you

(02:42):
to say, But I didn't get myself in this situation
right here. You ain't nothing too hard for God, nothing nothing.
And see, so as you listen to me, try to
try to get your mind open to this. Why would
you not want to explore all of your life's possibilities?

(03:05):
What's possible with your life? And I'm talking about from
right where you are right now. I'm not asking you
to change, I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm
telling you this is a fact that God can get
you from right where you are right now. Broken, misled, misguided, misunderstood, mistaken,

(03:34):
all of that, misfortunate, all of the misses you've been
talking about in your life. You know you. I missed
a lottery, I missed my ride. They fined me. I
I missed the deadline. I didn't get it. Miss people, people,
people just missed. Stay self to death. If you've been

(03:54):
all in misses. God can get you from right where
you are. God a home run hit her. I'm here
to tell you that he's a home run hitter. He's
a put him over the wall whenever he wants to
all the time. And you can be a recipient or
some of these home runs. He'll put the bat in
your hand. But you got to swing. Now. Listen to me.

(04:15):
You got to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You got
to stop holding yourself down with beating yourself up. I
was listening to George Meyers on TV the other day
and she said that she was talking to God, and
she said that she had kept asking God to forgive
her over and over one of her prayers, Lord forgive
me and for something she had done. And she was

(04:36):
telling it to somebody as I remember the story she
was telling. She says she was telling that somebody minister
or something, and the minister said, hey, hey, hey, he
heard you the first time. See a lot of us
we keep ourselves down and back because we keep beating
ourselves up for the mistakes weed and made. But God

(04:57):
is in the forgiving business all all day long. He
forgives you time and time again. He won't hold you
down about it if you don't hold yourself down about it.
But I'm gonna tell you one more time. The devil
is busy. So what the devil do is he makes
you think you ain't worthy. He makes you think that
you've done something so despicable that you can't come back

(05:18):
from it. He makes you feel like you're so low
you can't go up high. He knocked you down and
make you feel like you've been knocked down harder than
anybody else. You can't get up, He wrote, you so
deep down in that ditch you can't see over the edge.
God can come get you from no matter where you are.
I know a lady. I know a lady personally. The

(05:40):
doctors told her you got sixty days tops a year
and a half. Lady, she was still here I'm telling you, man,
you ain't in no hole too deep for God. Magic
Johnson to tell you that. Listen to me, you ain't
in no hole too deep for God. Steve Harvey can

(06:03):
tell you that you ain't in a hole too deep
for God. Tyler Perry can tell you that. I can
name you some people. Bishop Jake can tell you that.
I can tell you. Kenneth Alma can tell you that.
Bishop Kenneth Olman I can tell you some people. Kirk
Franklin can tell you that. Donnie mcclarkton can tell you that.
I just know some people personally man that they've been

(06:23):
in a hole. Joel Oldstein can tell you about it.
I know some people man been down, been in a
hole so deep. I bet you. Paula Deane can tell
you about it. See. But but you know what, then
here we go, see we see see you know, see
we don't. We don't like to talk about that because

(06:43):
now we want everybody to pay extra hard for some
mistakes they made when clearly and excuse me for being
a new Christian, But there is a PRAYD that I've
been saying since I was a little bit boy, and
it took me till I was a grown man to
understand it. Forgive us our trust passes as he forgive
those who trust passed against us. So see, it ain't

(07:04):
my job to hold nobody down, to keep my knee
on somebody's neck. Who am I? I'm gonna need some
forgiveness in a second here, probably today. See so all this,
you're holding people down with the way you feel inbout them.
And she shouldn't have said this, and she will never
get it. I never support this again. Man, get up,
get up and get real. You're for real? You think

(07:26):
you ain't fun the need forgiveness real? Soon? You ain't
gonna make a diabolical mistake in your life. You don't
think you are. I have thousands of them, probably gonna
make a few hundred more for our Get up out
of here. So I've decided to be in a forgiving
business because I want God to forgive my trust passes
as I forgive those who trust passed against me. You understand. See,

(07:50):
excuse me for being a new Christian. I'm I get
I get tired of talking to pistol, to the people
man supposed to be saved and talking about their christian
I don't want that type of religion. Man, I ain't
in that, no more. I ain't in that. You can
call me wrong if you want to saying how you
want to say. I ain't in that, no more. I
ain't in all that. You can feel how you want
to feel about me. But I got proof to God
work in my life. You know, I can't hardly get

(08:12):
it out sometimes when people ask me something about deeper
on the inside of me, about my soul and how
I used to being, and my journey and my trip
because people don't know the trip I've been on. But
you may have been on one worse than me. But
you know what, you ain't in a whole too deep.
God can't get you out of and I wish, I want,
I want people to remember that. Man, God is a redeemer,

(08:32):
He the great I am. So if you ain't got
nothing now what you're asking for, you know you might
not have nothing cause you ain't asking for nothing. Could
asking God to get you out of debt and ask
God for a life of abundance. Then you take the
money and you get out of debt. You keep asking
to get out of debt, you keep being in debt
to get out of Come on, man, what you're asking
God for. I'm just tripping today, that's all. I'm sorry.

(08:55):
I apologize
