Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, come on,
dig me now.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah,
I got one.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
And I got a message for you today too, something
I was thinking about that might help you along the way.
The thing I appreciate about so many people that I
learned from Bishop Jakes, Kenneth Olmer, Donnie McClerkin, Kirk Franklin,
Joel Oldstein. I can't tell you, and many more than that.
(00:35):
I mean, you know I'm naming you know, famous people
because I know you know these names. But my father,
who you never met, was so great in my development
as a man. But my mother thought her mercy. My mother,
she taught me about faith. She gave me the things
(00:56):
I needed to know about. What I speak about every day.
That basis was given to me by hers. So it's
so many great people. But here's the thing that I've
had to learn, and that is that if God got
you through it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's done. Move on.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
See, I can't tell you how many people don't really
pay attention to that close enough.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
If God got you through it, it's done. Move on.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
How many times have we as people allowed God to
get us through something, get us beyond something, get us
over something, get us through something, and then even after
its completion, we sit there and we dwell on it,
and we dwell on it to the point where it
becomes an anchor around our neck and we can't move on.
(01:50):
We can't move on because we just won't let it go.
It's done. If God got you through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Move on. Stop harboring on the past.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Stop hanging on to every time you fail, Stop hanging
on to every time you slipped up and messed up.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Stop hanging on to every time you didn't get it right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So what everybody makes mistakes, Everybody messes up, Everybody don't
get it right. Everybody's struggling with something. You ain't the
only one, but my God, Man, if God got you
through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You hanging on to it for it. That's why he
got it, got you through it, so you can move
on from it. See a lot of things that happened
to us that we think are negative or bad experience.
These are lessons and what not to do. This is
a way to have a now, a bearing on. Look
out for it. The next time you got me once
(02:59):
you can't get me again. I'm telling you, man, if
God got you through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Move on. You have got to move on.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I use this analogy all the time. I'm gonna add
a little bit to it. Bishop Jakes told me you
cannot drive your car looking in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
See. You know what your rearview mirror is actually for
in your car. Your rearview mirror is designed.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
After I pass a car and I want to merge
into that lane, or I want to make another move,
I look up in the rear view mirror, and all
I use it for it shows me that I've gotten
past it. I've gotten past the vehicle I was passing,
and I got enough room now clear to make my
(03:52):
next move.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's what I use my rearview mirror for.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I use my rear view mirror to just glance up
every now and then to see what's coming up on me.
That's all I use it for. Listen to me real
close now. Your rearview mirror on your car is after
you passing something, or you're passing by something, you can
look up in the rear view mirror and it lets
(04:18):
you know you're pasted. It you're beyond it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's clear. Now, it's in the past.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You no longer have to deal with it as the
car that was in front of you blocking your way.
You have passed it. You look up in the mirror,
you've cleared it. Now if you want to switch lanes,
you could.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Slide on over. You got room.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But that rearview mirror also lets you see if anything
is coming up on you, and you just need to glance,
because if you moving forward, ain't a whole lot can
come up on you. You just glancing every now and then,
and it reminds you that you got through something and
you got beyond something. That's what the real view mirror for. Now,
let's talk about that windshield. Why you think that windshield
(05:05):
so big on your car. That's the biggest window on
your car. You know why the wind shield so big
because it's where you're going. Because even the automobile makers
want you to have a wide view of where you're
going so you can see what's up ahead. They put
(05:26):
lights on the card night so you can have night
vision and see what's up ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But you can uh, oh man, oh see not why
is that looking? Think about that now before I move forward.
With this one.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Think about that wind shield, man, why is that wind
shield so big so you can see where you're going.
It's way more important where you're going than where you being,
don't you see that. That's why the rear view mirror
is so small, because it is nowhere near as important
as it is as to where you're going. While you
(05:59):
being just allows you to take a glance so you
can make sure you cleared it, so you can see
if it's room enough for you to make your next move,
so you can know that you've gone through it and
go ahead on about your business. But that windshield, that
windshield is for vision. A man without a dream of
vision shall perish. That windshield is for somebody going somewhere.
(06:20):
That windshielding for somebody else there trying to make another move.
I'm gonna go right, I'm gonna left, I'm gonna get
off on this exit. I'm gonna take this detail. I'm
gonna handle this sign. There's a new route. There's only
so many miles left to go. That's what the windshield got.
Let me tell you something, man, when you see a
mile sign, you're driving on the freeway, you're on the interstate,
and you Let's say you driving to a particular city
(06:42):
and you see a sign that says that city is
thirty eight or one hundred and thirty eight miles away.
That lets you know where you're going, and you're on
the right path.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now. If you keep looking.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In the rear view mirror, you'll never know how close
you are. You'll never know because you're driving your car
looking in the rear view mirror. You all on the shoulder,
you hear them rocks up under your car. You just
scared yourself to death because you know why, because you
keep looking in the rear view mirror. Get out the
rear view mirror. If God got you through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So what he don't love you no more? And man,
let's move on. If God got you through it, it's done.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Move on. God got something for you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
If you get out your real view mirror and get
up in that windshield, God's got something for you upp ahead.
But you can't see what's up ahead because you in
that rear view mirror. If God got you through it,
it's done. Let's move on. Come on, y'all, don't let
the pass beat you up. That's the ingredients in the cake.
You done, made that already, that's done. Let's go God,
(07:50):
look in the windshield, see what God probably got something
new for you. If you get out the rear view
mirror and look, open up your eyes and see. All right,
let's go today.
