Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you uh huh, I sure will coome on
with everybody you are listening to the voice. Come on
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Man one more time, Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Yeah, I do, man. I thank God for
it every day. You know, my message this morning, man,

(00:23):
is real clear. It's something that's been on me to share,
and it's it's amazing. You know, God can do some
amazing things for you. But what happens along the way
is and I don't know that I mean to say,

(00:44):
but but the fact that God can do some amazing
things for you, that comes adversity along with it. Every
single time, it just goes without saying. And I've uh,
I was having a a faily I mean well not faily,

(01:07):
but a hugely successful week. I had never seen this
type of hatred before. I hadn't seen it. And it's
it's a great trick that the devil does, you know,
when when God is blessing you and giving you some
up some some great opportunities in your life as all
of you have gone through, and it is isn't it

(01:29):
amazing how some negative thing crops up? And that's what
you have to focus on I found out that I
don't have to, but you wind up focusing on it,
and your energy goes over to that to try to
deal with it, counteract, wonder why it was happening.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
You got to make phone calls, what was this about?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Blah blah blah blah blah, and and it and it,
and it throws you off the course you are. On
the beginning of the week, I was so grateful. I
was so amazed. I was really thanking God for opportunity
for this brief moment. The enemy slides this little factor
in that it causes you and it requires your attention.

(02:10):
You have to pay it attention because you don't know
what you're going. Wow, man, let me see what this
could really be? How much dirt is this really that
they're trying to do? And so it requires your attention.
But in that attention, you lose your focus on really
all the blessings and the good thing that God does
for you. The enemy has an amazing trick that he

(02:33):
does that. And it was in my head. I gotta
tell y'all all week long, man, and I was doing
some amazing stuff. I was having such a blessed week. Man,
in terms of press and pr and where God was
taking me. And then when I got back, I was
talking with my wife and then I was talking to

(02:54):
a good friend of ours and they shared something that
really helped me out. And they said to me, new level,
new devil. You know it's it's it's something really simple,
but new level, new devil. Every time you go to

(03:15):
another level, every time you go a little bit higher,
every time God has a blessing in store for you,
every time he moves you in position. Do you understand
that the enemy's job is to make you not see
the blessing, make you not be grateful for it, lose
your focus and focus on this that I just threw

(03:38):
in your way, this stumbling block, this obstacle, this trickery.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And man, I was, I was, I got it.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I just got to tell you, man, I mean, it
was so filled with hatred that I had to I
really spend some time addressing it. I you know, I
got publicists on the phone. I said, what's what's happening here? Y'all?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Not watching this, y'all not what was? What was this attack?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
You knew?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Do? You didn't know? These angles? And you know.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Steve Chill New level, new devil. If you get a
promotion on your job, guess what, somebody ain't happy that
you got the promotion. So here come to Hayn. You
don't even really know these people. You have no idea.
Every time you make a decision to make your relationship

(04:24):
with your spouse better, man, this is it.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know what I'm gonna start doing.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm gonna do this, man, so me and my girl
can go on and have this, or me and my
man can go on and have this. Watch what happened
every single time. Here comes the new level, the new devil,
the trick. You don't need to do that. What you're
doing that for hers? She don't appreciate it. He ain't
gona appreciate it. Look over here, man, look at that
right there.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Ain't he no?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
You know, he missed. He didn't call you, And he said,
it's gonna all types of stuff. It just happens all
the time. And I was sitting here talking with this friend,
really good friend, very spiritual person, and they said, you
know something, Steve. You know I was talking to Jesus
and said I was having this conversation with Christ and
I said, God, for real, you mean to tell me

(05:12):
every time that something good happens to me. You mean,
every time I try to go to the next level,
every time you put me on the next level.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
You mean to tell me that I got to go
through this? Right here? Are you for real? And then
my friend said, Jesus said to her, they did it
to me, and we just fell out laughing. They did
it to me. They did it to him. They did
it to him for him to go to the next level.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
And you know, I was just I was just going
over the whole story about the crucifixion and everything that
had to be amazing man, of all the hate he
had ended, all the prosecuting he had do it. They thought, ultimately,
what we'll do is we'll nail him on a cross
and crucifying and that'll be the end of him. And
we'll put him in this tune and we'll put this

(06:06):
big stone up there and that'll be the end of him.
But what they did not know was all you was
doing was setting the tone for the next level, because
eventually the stone got rolled away and he went and
got placed with his father where he was headed to. Anyway,
he ultimately knew that his ultimate goal was to get

(06:27):
to his father, so when you when you when you
thought you were doing what you were doing to him,
and you put him in a tune, and you put
the big stone up in there, and the stone got rolls,
got rolled away, and he went eventually to where he
was trying to get to. That story is in place

(06:49):
for all of us to remember that when we are
going through some things. Could it be because we're going
to a place, you know, It could be just a
place in life.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
It could be just a different level in life. That's
all it has to be.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
But there's going to be the adversarial challenges that come
with it, and those are the moments we must expect,
expect and take them head on and still not lose
your focus or appreciation for what God has done for you.
So in light of all of that, I'm able to
say today that I thank my heavenly Father, I really

(07:26):
do for all the blessing seeds to bestowed upon me
and all of the haters and all of the liars,
and all of the backstabers and all those people. When
you get through lyon, when you get through stabbing, when
you get through gossiping and doing what you do, I'm

(07:47):
still going to the next level I'm still going. You
cannot stop what God has in store for you.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
No one can stop that. To the Steve Harvey Morning
