The Power of Choice | Motivated With Steve Harvey

- How many times has God showed you something in your imagination that you thought was so wonderful and then you took it in that to your family and your friends, and you shared it with them and they shut it down. (congregation clapping) You know why they shut it down because they couldn't see it. You know why they didn't see it?

Cause God didn't show it to them. He showed it to you. (congregation clapping) God put it in your imagination.

He didn't put it in other people's imagination. Stop telling your visions to other people cause they not going to see it. Why you think you keep imagining opening a business?

Why you keep imagining graduating getting a better job? Why do you keep imagining buying a house? Why do you keep imagining driving a really nice car?

Why do you keep imagining getting rich one day? Why do you keep imagining that? Because God is talking to you.

He's showing you something that he has for you. (congregation clapping) He puts it in your imagination, man. See God is good, man.

You got to understand how good God is. He ain't playing with you. He the real deal He created you and then he even showed you what he got for you.

You got to start believing in your imagination you gotta start talking to Him about these stuff You be seeing, but you have not cause you ass now. So if you see the vision, the imagination, but you don't ask God for what you want Him to do? He showed it to you.

Faith without works is dead. So now you got to put in work. All y'all sitting in here you want a better life, correct?

- [Congregation] Yes - Had you haven't you imagined a better life. - [Congregation] Yes - Okay who do you think he showed it to? He showed it to you.

Why you think he showed it to you? Because he wanted to give it to you but if you don't work, if you don't ask Him for it He cannot give it to you because he created us with the power of choice. We make choices every day if you decide that you will be poor, there's nothing I can do you going to be poor.

If you decide to be rich today, who going to stop you? (Congregation murmuring) Who? If you decide, you want to be rich, all you gotta do is stop.

Why not? Who going to stop you unless you tell it to the wrong person. Mama, mama listen to me I'm going to be rich.

Anybody rich this family go in there and sit out somewhere get yourself a good job. (congregation murmuring) Oh mama, you must be right. No mama could be wrong because what you have in your imagination, God didn't show it to your mama.

I'm sorry. He showed it to you. Listen to me if y'all don't do nothing else, write everything you imagine down, write it all down, pray about it and watch what happens.

(congregation clapping and shouting) Watch what happens. Cause let me tell you something if God can fix me you have no idea who you looking at. You have no idea of what I've done you have no idea what I've been through.

You you wouldn't even talk to me if you knew what I had to do to be here. But God is in the forgiving business. God is in the get your life together business.

God is in the turning around business. God is in the saving business. God did all that for me so I'm telling you right now, if God can fix Steve Harvey and turn him into this, I bet he could turn you into that.

All right, thank you all.
