Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You are listening to the voice, come on now, want
and only see Harvey got a radio show. Five things
that I know successful people have to do to be successful.
The principles are the same. You can apply it to anything,
you know, if you want to be happily married, you know,
whatever it is. The principles of success are the same.
(02:28):
There are a series of things that you have to do.
You cannot skip the steps of success. If you do,
you're going to have to go back and step on
them anyway. So here's here's here's a part man that
I want you all to understand about me and and
and and about how to look at it. You know,
(02:49):
you you cannot underestimate faith and prayer, You just can't.
You cannot underestimate the power of faith and the power
of prayer.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
See for me.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This is just for me. Now, this ain't in the
scripture nowhere. This is just something I discovered. What prayer
did for me was was it tied me to my creator.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It gave me a sense.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And I'm describing it this way, but I'm telling you
it's deeper than this. But it gave me a sense
that I wasn't alone, and at actuality I wasn't. But
prayer helped connect me to the power source that was
available to me to get through, get around, or get
(03:48):
over whatever it was that was in the way, whether
it was just a period I stretched, I had to
go through hard work. It had a period I had
to go through to learn some lessons, some periods I
had to go through from having to pay for some
of the mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be,
Prayer gave me a decided advantage, especially oh, here we go,
(04:18):
Especially over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in
my life that were my enemies. I didn't want them
to be my enemies, make no mistake about this. But
through the thing called life, some things went down. Some
things happened from here and then went over here and
over that way, and a person became my enemy. The
(04:40):
majority of enemies I have came out of nowhere. I
have no reason to even see why they are my enemies.
But you know, life goes on, man. It happens from
time to time. Some people just won't let it go.
See some people, in their quest to do something to
you or to make you pay, they just won't let
(05:02):
it go. What may cause you some discomfort, and some
of it may be lies about you and all of
this and all of that, but that can't prohibit you
from going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer gave
me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to either go
through it, go around.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It, or go over it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But it happened. I do not know how I could
have made it without faith and without prayer.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It would have.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Something would have got me. YouTube would have got me.
The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I
grew up with, that used to laugh behind my back,
they would have got me. My friend that went over
my mother's house one time and told her, you know
(05:58):
what Steve's problem is he out there telling them jokes.
He just lazy, He don't want to work.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That would have got me.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
They didn't know. I ain't really mad at them because
they were just All they was doing was based in
their conversations and pasting judgment based on what they knew,
based on what they believed.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
They didn't believe I was gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But that's them, though. If it was not for the faith,
which is the belief in things that you cannot see,
I wouldn't have made it because I would have listened
to everybody else who didn't see me get in here
and went along with it. And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man,
(06:43):
how many times has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has
bailed me out, press still bailing me out. Tell you
the truth, man, quiet as it's kept prayer, that connection
to your heavenly Father, that connection to your creator, that
connection to that source of power and inspiration, that connection
(07:07):
of never feeling that you were alone. You know, I
was watching the Bishop Jakes on TV yesterday and it
was a repeat, and one of the things he was
talking about, well, let me just get to the gist
of it. I was going through a portion of my
life and I went through it for some years, y'all.
(07:29):
I had gotten myself into a jam that lasted for years,
I'm telling you, for years, with some serious consequences to follow.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
For years.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I was so busy looking at where I was at.
I was sulking sometimes, Man, I'd get on the radio, Man,
I'd be just done. I was sulking. My my spirit
had gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight.
(08:06):
And I would come on some mornings, man, and I
would try try not to let on, but I was hurting.
I was because I had been in for years. Man,
I had been in this thing for years. And one
thing I was doing. I was so busy looking at
where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop
Jakes he preached his sermon. He was talking about so
(08:33):
busy looking at where you at that you don't even
realize that God has been with you the entire time.
And you know what, Man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I
heard this and I text him. I text Bishop Jakes,
(08:55):
and I thanked him because it was an old message
I could tell. And I called a t him up
and I said, Man, thank you so much. I was
just watching you on TV and you told me, Man,
something that I that I'll always remember that whatever you're
going through, that He's there with you the whole time.
But see what sometimes, when you're so busy looking at
(09:16):
where you at, you don't even notice where he is.
And see sometimes, man, that that helped me, and that's
going to help me in the future to realize that
what I'm going through, that he's there. He's there with me,
and he gonna protect me, and he ain't gonna let
my enemies overcome me, and he ain't gonna let nobody
overtake me, and he ain't gonna let me go under
because he's there. It's just you can't be so busy
(09:39):
looking at where you at that you don't take notice
of where he at. God is always there, He's always available,
and the best way to tap into that and know
it is you got to pray. Prayer has changed my life.
Prayer can change your life. You can become something if
you just praying. Shall
