Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now.
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I
got a tweet the other day. When Steve Harvey used
to get the preaching, I used to just turn the

(00:20):
radio off. But nah, it's different. Old dude be bringing it.
He'd be bringing the truth. I appreciate that, you know, Man,
When I was younger, Man, when I when I wanted
to do what I wanted to do. Man, I just man,
I ain't want to hear nothing else. I didn't want
to hear nothing that contradicted what I wanted to do.

(00:43):
You know. So it's a funny thing, man about me. Man,
I was I would hear the truth, I would know
it to be the truth. But because I had another plan,
another mission, another goal, another set of dudes I wanted
to get done, I didn't want to hear that. You's
a funny thing, man, It's like it's like when I
was a little boy and I used to get scared

(01:03):
sometime at night, you know, the boogerman. So I thought
that if I just pulled the blanket up over my head,
that that meant that if I can't see the boogerman,
he can't see me. That's the theory. That's an ostrich,
you know, sticking his head in the sand, thinking wow,
if I don't see this dude, he can't see me.

(01:24):
A lot of ostyches done died with their heads stuck
in the sand. I just didn't want to be one
of them people that left this world with my head
in the sand. But I just wanted to say, man,
this morning, that quit talking about change. Y'all listening, because

(01:44):
because because this is real right here, quit talking about
change and let's make a change. You know, Man, I
don't I don't mind giving people advice. I really, I
really really don't, because so many people are along the
way have handed it to me freely. Man. Some people
just saw me doing wrong and say, young man, come here,

(02:06):
let me talk to you for a minute. Some people say, hey, brother,
look man, I know what you're trying to do. Man
it have you thought about it this way? So I've
had a lot of favor in my life, a lot
of grace been shown on me, a lot of mercy,
A lot of people that came to me helped me
a long way. So I don't have no problem with
this part of what I'm what I'm obligated to do

(02:26):
in the mornings. But let's quit talking about change, y'all,
and let's make a change. See, change is growth, and
ain't no growth without change. You got people, Man, You
ever met a person that's just insistent on doing it? They? Wait,
I mean, nobody in the building think they should go
that way, but they so bone headed. Oh this is

(02:50):
how I'm gonna do it. But bro, listen to me. Man,
that ain't how it's done. You gonna run into this
distance I'll show you. Wait a minute, man, you can't
do it that way. Man, if you are sick and
tired of where you are, then you have to change.
Change can only come from within. Can nobody make you change? Now,

(03:11):
we got a penal system in place that can make
you sit down. If you don't want to change, we'll
sit you down and we'll restrict your movement and your
communication to the point where if you want to continue
this foolishness, we're gonna put you in this building with
a whole lot of people. That's foolishness. And y'all just
trick each other all day long. But if you are

(03:33):
sick and tired of your situation, pray for it, Pray
for change, ask God to help you change. Ask God
what he want for you instead of always telling God
what you want. It's an interesting prayer to have with God.
When you quit going to God with your list and

(03:53):
check in with God and see what his list is.
That's a very interesting prayer. If you're a praying person,
I say, just you try that sometime. It's so interesting. Man,
do you know what it did for me when I
started asking God what he wanted for me? Instead of
telling God all the time. I still tell him what
I want, but instead of all the time going to

(04:13):
Him with what I want. You know what it did
for me? It freed me up. It took a lot
of pressure off. I no longer had to think of everything,
and what I was thinking of a lot of times
wasn't working no way. And when I opened myself up
to what he wanted, to what his will was, Man,
do you know how much simpler my life got? And
do you know how much bigger it got? I'm trying

(04:35):
to tell you, man, if you pray for change and
you allow God to help you with the change, or
if you let God just produce the change. The change
in you would be amazing. If you've been listening to me,
especially out in La since I was on the radio
since two thousand, can't you hear the change? I'm flat
out telling you that a change has come. But I

(04:58):
had to pray for the change because I couldn't make
the change on my own. And then after you pray
for the change, you got to work towards your trade change.
You know, there's faith without works is dead. Everybody wants
something from God, always want to talk to God about something.
But then man, ain't, ain't, don't want to do nothing
about it. Faith without works is dead. You can't do

(05:21):
it that way, man, It just does not happen. So
after you then prayed to God about it, what you
got to do then is you got to turn around
and go, hey man, all right, now what is it
I got to do? You know, you got to do
something to bring it about. So after you pray for it,
work for it and do something today about it. Stop procrastinating.

(05:45):
Don't procrastinate, folks. The change can start today. Man, I
want to change? How about today? You know, then you
see them saying, people, man, I want to change, that's
next week. How about today, I see people years later. Man,
I'm steal in this same old situation. Man, I'm gonna
do something. How about today? Today is a good day.

(06:08):
There's nothing stopping you from changing today, nothing except you.
You can begin the process of change immediately. And change
is growth, y'all. And ain't no growth without changing. It's
a simple thing. And I'm talking to you in broad
strokes because everybody got something about them they need to change.
That's why I'm not specifically talking about anything. I got

(06:31):
some things in meedate need to change so I can
grow further. Everybody has something about them that they need
to change in order to grow further and then go further. Now,
what's stopping you is you won't start to change today.
Don't hesitate. Make that change. And then I want you
to watch something. When you change, Watch the difference in you.

(06:56):
Notice the difference in you, feel the difference in you,
and guess that's what you gonna be different. If you
watching for the change, if you feeling the change, then
guess what you're gonna be different. Man, watch for the difference,
feel the difference. You will be different. If you sick
and tired of your situation, folks, you can change that.

(07:16):
But the change is in you. It's a simple decision
you had to make. I'm gonna change. The change is
up to you. You can decide today if you want
to change, you want to be different. If you're sitting
behind the wall, I love speaking to the brothers and
sisters behind the wall. If you behind the wall, man,
and you sick and tired of being behind the wall, man,
why don't you change? You have thought about that change? Man?

(07:38):
If I get back out there, I'm gonna just do
the same thing. Stop saying that. Stop breathing that negativity
into your life. Decide today that you want to change.
You can do it. Everybody can change. If you don't
know how to change, pray for it, man, ask God
to help you with the change. Or you get some movement,
then partner, you get a whole lot of movement, then
all right, that's right. Listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show,
