Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will come on and
everybody you're listening to the voice, come on, dig me
now want and only see Harvey got a radio show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
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. 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

(00:36):
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, you you cannot under
estimate faith and prayer. You just can't. You cannot underestimate

(01:04):
the power of faith and the power of prayer. See
for me, 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. It gave me a sense and I'm

(01:26):
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 over whatever

(01:51):
it was that was in the way, whether it was
just a period I stretched, I had to go through
hard work. It had the period I had to go
through 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,

(02:19):
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 that way,
and a person became my enemy. The majority of enemies

(02:42):
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 it go. But

(03:05):
it may cause you some discomforting and some of it
may be lies about you and all of this and
all of that, but that that can't prohibit you from
going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer gave me
the strength wisdom understanding the carriage should either go through it,
go around it, or go over it. But it happened.

(03:29):
I do not know how I could have made it
without faith and without prayer. It would have something would
have got me. YouTube would have got me. The bloggers
would have got me. My partners that I grew up with,

(03:50):
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 what, Steeves, the
problem is he out there telling them jokes. He just lazy,
he don't want to work. That would have got me.
They didn't know. I ain't really mad at them because

(04:11):
they were just All they was doing was basing their
conversations and pasting judgment based on what they knew, based
on what they believed. They didn't believe I was gonna
make it. 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

(04:34):
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, 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,

(04:59):
that connection to your heavenly Father, that connection to your creator,
that connection to that source of power and inspiration, that
connection 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

(05:22):
gist of it. I was going through a portion of
my life, and I went through it for some years, y'all.
I had gotten myself into a jam that lasted for years,
I'm telling you, for years, with some serious consequences to follow.
For years. And I was so busy looking at where

(05:49):
I was at. I was sulking. Sometimes, man, I'd get
on the radio, man, I'd be just done. I was sulking.
My spirit had gotten low. I had gotten tired of
the fight, and would I would come on some mornings, Man,

(06:10):
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 this sermon. He was talking
about so busy looking at where you at that you

(06:39):
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 and I thanked him because it was an old
message I could tell and I call, I text him

(07:01):
up and I said, Man, thank you so much. I
was just watching you on TV and you told me, Man,
something that I'll always remember that whatever you're going through,
that he's there with you the whole time. But see
when sometimes when you're so busy looking at where you at,
you don't even notice where he is. And see sometimes, Man,

(07:22):
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 on them because he's there.
It's just you can't be so busy looking at where
you at that you don't take notice of where he at.

(07:43):
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 pray.
You're listening. Easy to see. Ebe Harvey Morning Show
