Good morning, everybody. You are listening to the voice. Come
on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got
a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I feel it's necessary to explain what I say in
the morning because somebody asked me, what do you mean
by that when you say that in the morning. When
I say, uh huh, it's in response to David Hollister
opening the song by saying, go ahead, Big Daddy, go ahead,
I said, uh huh, I show will. Then I say
(00:36):
good morning everybody, because I was raised a rage. You're
supposed to speak when you come in the room. I'm
coming in y'all's room, whether it's your bedroom, the room
in your house, your car, your office, you know, wherever
you're at, I come in the room, or God speaks,
I say, good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice.
And then I got to introduce myself because as a performer,
(00:59):
I felt my best when I was introduced. No, why
would you walk out on stage anybody introduced you. You
can't get the a round of applause. It's just it's horrible.
So I say, you are listening to the voice. One
and only Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now. Now
that's old school. I got that, but that's I was
once again, dig me now is I want you to
(01:22):
feel what I'm about to say. That's all I'm saying.
That's not a bragging thing. You know you are listening
to the voice one and only Steve Harvey. Come on,
dig me now. I'm just asking you to feel what
I'm saying in the morning because it's part of a
promise that I made to God. See a long time ago,
I told God, if he allowed me to make it,
(01:44):
that when I got there, I would tell everybody I
know how I did it. And I wasn't gonna shortcut
it or shade him on it. I said, if you
allow me to make it, if you give me the strength,
the courage, the wisdom you gave me a if you
let me apply it, don't destroy myself in the process.
(02:05):
Forgive me for my sins along the way. Continue to
hold and rock me when I need it. When I
make it, I promise you Lord, when I get there,
I will tell everybody how I made it. Well, this
started back in LA when I got on the radio
and I was making it. Okay, I was doing okay,
(02:29):
but I had to keep my promise to God. My
promise was, if you allow me to make it, I'll
tell everybody how I got there. I have to tell
you that every day, because if it was not for
that grace and mercy, I wouldn't even be here able
to fulfill my promise, because I've done enough dirt in
(02:49):
my life Man to not be worthy. He could have
easily walked away from me a long time ago because
I had show walked away from him. See, and I
didn't walk away from him once. I walked away from
him a bunch of times. But guess what he forgave
me a bunch of times. I'm a living example of
(03:12):
hundreds of chances. His forgiveness and his mercy is available
for everybody. It's the only reason I get on this
show every day. It's the only reason I have the
blessings that's come in my way. It's the only way
that the things that keep happening in my life, Man
that I have no explanation for, is because of his
(03:35):
grace and mercy. See, anytime something good happens in my
life and I can't explain it, that's usually him. He
exhibits to me Remember, I'm a forgiving god man. Remember,
so when you fall, Steve, don't lay down there. Don't
you lay down there. Don't you let the devil fool
you that because you'd have made some mistakes that you
(03:57):
ain't that you can't do it because everybody gonna make him.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
There's none perfect, no, not one.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So get up, keep moving, keep pushing, step on what
you're laying there for. Your daddy didn't raise you that way. Look, man,
my father was just about manhood. I'm gonna just tell you.
My daddy never had a conversation with me about church.
He beat me for not going, but you know a
couple of times, but he wasn't about that. It wasn't
(04:25):
his message. That was my mama's job. My mama taught
me about being saved, about loving the Lord, about giving
your life, about the teachings of Jesus Christ. My mama
was a Sunday school teacher, so I got all of
that from her. My old man ain't had none of
that for me. My old man talked to me about
one thing all day long, hard working manhood, and well
(04:45):
you're gonna get that if you don't get nothing else
from me. He gave that to me, so I got it.
See so, my father, you say, excuse my language, but
you ain't gonna sit there like no little punk up
in here. You ain't what you're finna do. You're finna
get up and go do what you're supposed to do.
That stop all that whine and like some little punkin
gone get the movie. That's how my father talked to me. Now,
I'm just telling you real. It worked for me though,
(05:07):
And before you start emailing me, that had nothing to
do with homosexuality at all. It's just that was his
term for a man not acting like a man. That's
all it was. It was not a gay reference at all.
I want you to understand that before you start emailing me.
So my daddy wasn't calling that was not a sexual
reference for him. My father talked to us that's what
(05:28):
he meant. I knew exactly what he meant. He couldn't
have meit nothing else. He ain't even know nothing about that.
My man clueless when it come to that, right there.
So when I was getting down and feeling bad about myself, my.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Old man he taught me this toughness.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Man, he gave me this grit, this doggedness, this go
to work and work hard. That's why today, when God
does bless me with something, he ain't got to worry
about me not working hard because.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's in me.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And when I get tired, I asked that same God
for strift to keep own doing so I can do
the blessings he got for me. So when you ask
me how you gonna do all this, Steve Harvey, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I ain't got to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
All I got to do is show up with the
same amount of faith of being showing up with God
handle the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
See y'all, hey man, let me tell you something. I
don't see how you do it. I don't either. Can
I get you? Hey man? Newsflash? Let me hear. I
don't see how you doing all that? Steve? You doing this?
You doing that? Can I tell you something? I don't either.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I just wake up with the faith man and trusting
that if He gonna bless me with it, he must
be gonna show me a way how.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
To get it done. See, I ain't tripping on that part.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
See, once you take yourself out the how to business,
you can go on and get with it. But see
if you're gonna trip yourself out with the how to.
You can't think like God can think. You can't figure
like God can figure. So now you sitting up in here,
God Lord, I want this to happen for me. Then
I don't know how I'm gonna do all that. Well,
guess what you and the wait?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
See you?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Now you in the way, because see God ain't asked
you to figure out how to. He said, ask and believe.
Then he said faith without works is dead. That's my solution.
That's the concoction that I'm functioning on. All I got
to do is accept the blessing, keep the faith, be
(07:21):
willing to work and believe.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
God can do.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Anything but fail. Why would God bring me this far
to leave me? Why would he bring you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
This far to leave you?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So? Why I get up every morning? I have no choice.
I got to get up in here to rest. When
I'm running late, Man, I try to plow through here.
Sometime I don't make it. Man, I got to do
a rerun. But I plow through here because man, Steve,
you're gonna run out something to say.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
No, I'm gonna just keep thinking it. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You can't run out of that, can you? Because you
owe him that matter of fact? When I get through talking,
I really ain't thanked him enough. Listening to the Steve
