  4. Brought tears to my eyes this morning Wow! This really got me so emotional and excited all at the same time. Excited about what God is going to do in my simple life

  5. God has a plan for all his children Ate 18yo the doctor told my mom I would not live I was having seizures 8months pregnant and carrying a dead baby. My mom hitched a ride 18 miles everyday to visit and pray for me at my hospital bedside. I gave birth while in a coma felt no labor pain. Because of my mother’s faith in God I am alive to tell the story This year I will celebrate my 76 birthday because “God’s grace and mercy bought me here and I’m living this because of him”and my faith in GOD

  6. Steve. Sense I have started watching your videos on Facebook and YouTube I have felt such a connection with your story and you words of god and motivation. I a not an extremely godly man by any stretch believe me but the way you explain and speak his word hits me hard and makes me see that even though times my be hard a may be falling backwards I may be getting more dirt thrown on me I know things will get better me dreams will come true I just need to believe and work for bettering myself and not give up.

    Thank you Steve for being an inspiration and motivation in my life!

  7. THANK YOU GOD FOR STEVE . IT’S THE BLESSING OF THOSE VERY DREAMS WORDS THAT HAS MANIFESTED WHERE I AM TODAY. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WHERE I AM TODAY., THAT MY DREAMS WOULD PLAY OUT LIKE GOD PURPOSED THEM TO…BUT GOD! YET I REMEMBER AS A CHILD SPEAKING TO GOD AS I WAS SWINGING IN THE SWINGS AT FIVE YEARS OF AGE, WHEN I REACHED IN THE AIR , I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT MY FUTURE AND WHEN I CAME DOWN FROM-BEING UP IN THE AIR, I WAS IN THE NATURAL. FOR GOD HAS REMEMBER THE WORDS I SPOKE TO HIM AS A CHILD.
    HE HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR. A LOVING SPOUSE, LOVING CHILDREN, AND LOVING FAMILY AND HUMAN KINDNESS. I NOW HAVE WRITTEN THREE INSPIRATIONAL POERTY BOOKS OF WHICH HE PURPOSED ME TO. BECAUSE IT IS HE THAT TOLD ME TO WRITE. HE SAID TO ME, “MANY ARE ARE CALLED AND FEW ARE CHOSEN,” NOW WRITE. “ I DID . Because I told him, “surely you are not talking to me. “ I TOLD GOD,” SURELY YOU HAVE MAYA ANGELOU, STEVEN SPIELBERG.” I SAW MY LIFE PASS BEFORE ME LIKE MOSES IN EXODUS, WHEN GOD SEND THE DEATH ANGEL TO KILL MOSES, AFTER HE HAD TOLD HIM TO GO TO EYGPT AND TELL PHAROAH, TO LET HIS PEOPLE GO. AND MOSES DIDN’T WANT TO. GOD SENT THAT DEATH ANGEL TO TAKE HIM OUT. BUT THE ANGEL SAW THE BLOOD ON MOSES’ FEET, FROM HIS SON’S FORESKIN BEING CIRCUMCISED , ON HIS BIG TOE. I SAW MY LIFE FLASH BEFORE ME IN AN INSTANT AND GOD SHOW ME THAT, IN AN INSTANT SPIRITUALLY! I SPOKE OUT TO GOD, “YES LORD!”
    I SENT MY UNSOLICITED WRITINGS TO FIVE OR SO GREAT PUBLISHING COMPANIES, ALL CAME BACK AND SAID, YES, WE WANT TO SIGN YOU, “DON’’T CHANGE A THING . DON’T SHORTEN OR LENGTHEN IT, WE WILL EXCEPT YOUR POETRY AND INSPIRATIONAL STORIES, AS IT IS.” WHEN GETTING READY TO SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE, I WAS TOLD,”OKAY NOW ITS TIME TO START MAKING MONEY.” I TOLD THAT GREAT PUBLISHER, “I CAN’T, ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT’S ABOUT SOULS BEING SAVED!’ THAT LADY CURSED ME OUT, AND IT STABBED ME IN THE HEART SPIRITUALLY. BECAUSE, IT WAS ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD THROUGH THE WORDS IN WHICH GOD HAD SPOKEN TO ME TO GIVE.
    GOD HAD THE PROVISION, HE WANTED ME TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE THE VALUE AND SOULS BEING SAVED ARE GOD’S CURRENCY. I DID NOT SIGN WITH THAT COMPANY, BUT GOD SENT ME TO SIGN A YEAR LATER WITH ANOTHER COMPANY AND THEY GAVE ME TOTAL CREATIVE FREEDOM. I WROTE TWO BOOKS UNDER THAT COMPANY. THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL GOD’S WAY. AND MY THIRD BOOK WAS WITH THE COMPANY THAT I DESIRED TO SIGN WITH EARLIER IN MY CARREER. GOD BROUGHT IT FULL CIRCLE AND I WAS SIGNED WITH THE COMPANY THAT PRINTS AND DOES ALL THE BOOKS IN THE BIBLE WORLDWIDE! SO NOW ALL OF MY BOOKS ARE COPYRIGHTED AND ARE IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS .
    LOOK AT GOD! MY FIRST TWO BOOKS WERE SELF PUBLISH. 1. FROM THE WINDOWS WITHIN, THROUGH EYES SEARCHING TO FIND. 2. AN INTIMATE WALK! EXCELLENT PRAISE! A SCENT IN THE WIND OF HIS BEAUTY! MY THIRD SELF PUBLISHED IS : 3 SWORDS! SWORD OF THE SPIRIT! THE LIVING WORD OF GOD! BASED ON JOHN 10:10 . FOR WHICH I HAD A LIFE CRISIS SCARE , BECAUSE THE ENEMY WAS TRYING TO KILL ME WITH HAVING 3% AIR CAPACITY OUT OF 100% BY SUFFOCATING ME TO DEATH AND CANCER OF THE THROAT. FOR WHICH THE ENEMY TRIED AND FAILED! HE TRIED TO KILL, STEAL, DESTROY AND SILENLENCE ME AND KEEP THAT BOOK FROM EVER BEING PUBLISHED. TO STOP GOD’S PLAN FROM GETTING ALL THE PRAISE OUT OF MY LIFE! THEN TRIED TO STOP THIS BOOK FROM BEING PUBLISH, BY HAVING THE COMPANY MISTAKENLY EDITED AND SEND MY WORKS TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND PUT THE WORDING IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE , AS WELL AS MY COMPUTER CRASHING MULTIPLE TIMES TO KEEP ME FROM COMPLETING THIS GOD BOOK! FOR THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND IS FOREVER DEFEATED AMEN!
    WHEN GETTING READY TO GIVE THE CREDIT TO THE PERSON , WHO BEFORE THIS SICKNESS ATTACK ME A YEAR PRIOR, GOD ALLOWED THIS UNKNOWN MAN TO CALL ME EVERY DAY TO ENCOURAGE ME TO WRITE AGAIN FOR OVER A YEAR. BECAUSE I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF EVER WRITING ANOTHER BOOK. I HAD TO GET UP EVERYDAY AND GO INTO HEAVY PRAYER AND MEDITATION , EVERYDAY AND NIGHT FOR TWO YEARS, WHILE WRITING THIS BOOK. AFTER IT WAS COMPLETED , I WANTED TO REACH OUT AND GIVE HIM PROPS FOR ENCOURAGING ME, WHEN MY PUBLICIST CAME BACK TO THE PHONE, SHE SAID HER HAIR WAS STANDING UP ON HER NECK. SHE BEGANS TO TELL ME, “THAT THIS MAN NEVER WORKED FOR THAT COMPANY AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF A PERSON WITH THAT NAME EVERWORKING AT THAT COMPANY,” SHE THEN TELLS ME , “THAT HAD TO BE YOUR ANGEL. THAT PERSON DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS COMPANY”.
    GOD HAS BE CONTINUALLY SPEAKING HIS WORD TO ME AS WELL AS ALLOWING ME TO TELLING HIM MY DREAMS. HE HAS BLESSED ME TREMENDOUSLY AND MANIFESTED ALL OF MY DREAMS INTO COMING INTO FRUITION. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY, FOR ALL THE THINGS HE HAS DONE, TODAY, TOMORROW, FOREVERMORE! ~ JAPONICA F. EDMONDS SMITH

  8. Hi Steve,
    Your story is so inspiring and motivating!! My only conundrum is this: I aspire to be great and have made met many objectives to obtain a Master’s degree in Social Work, During the course I’ve had major surgery, goten divorced and lost the first man the ever loved me, my father. Yet, my determination never waivered. I’ve also since then bought a home for me and my two sons. Herein lies my problem. Steve, I’ve done all of that just to inquire over $150k in Student loans debt. I make payments every month, but the amount I pay doesn’t touch the interest. My credit is excellent (right now). I guess I just wonder was it worth all that I’ve endured to be in so much debt for trying to do it the “right” way. To top it off, I still have not landed my desired job because it always about “who you know”, yet I’ve had several interviews. Steve, how do I tell my children this is the way go, when it doesn’t seem to be paying off for me?
    They look at me and see a good mom, a hard working honest mom still in the struggle at 49 years of age.
    I’m not sure if you will even get this, but I’m an optimist!!

  9. I believe what you said Steve, but what happen when everything is a darkness I mean that I been praying to God ,with all my strength, days and nights shedding my tears for an answer, to save my business and tell lies to family that everything its ok, when it’s the other way, I’m loosing everything an I’m afraid to disappoint my wife.

  10. Thank you, Steve! Thank you so much for this message it is very motivating and most of all thank you for putting God first in your life, and for not being afraid to say it out loud. I feel like so many people in Hollywood are against Christian faith.

  11. Thank you for your inspirational talks. They have gotten me through a lot in my life. Thank you for sharing with us.

  13. Hi Steve
    I love your show. I hope one day I will be blessed to meet you. I am a retired public health worker. Spending my time writing book. Published one working on the second one. God bless you

  14. Thank You, Steve for those words of encouragement.

  15. Thank you Steve for all your encouraging words. You are such an inspiration even at the age of 75. I am a widow and nights can be tough sometimes but you bring me laughter and happiness many late nights as I watch Family Feud. Keep giving God the praise and he will keep elevating you higher and higher!

  16. Steve,

    I have been following you since day one. My favourite part of the show is when you share your journey on how you got where you are. I had a baby at 16 and my life hasn’t been the same. My kids are all grown and I have 4 grand babies. I had just went through a 2 year lawsuit and spent every penny I had to save my business (250k) In 2015, I was broke and depressed. It was on a Sunday and I was at church. I asked God to show me a sign that I’m doing the right thing. Two later I flew to Chicago to be on your show in the audience. I had brought 2 friends and one of them was talking negative and I asked God to forgive her for not appreciating the blessing to be here. I also said one of us is going to win after receiving a ticket with a number on it. THANK YOU JESUS I won a smart car on your show. I had written a book and had no money to publish it. I sold the car and was able to publish my book, “Puberty Manual A Girls Guide To Growing Up” sold on amazon. Thank you so much Steve for your sharing your stories on YOUR JOURNEY.

  17. I am inspired Steve i now know that God is waking me up everyday to finish my purpose in life.from Zambia

  18. I’m 69 years old and was laid off from my job. It was a total shock to all of us. I’ve been looking for work for nearly 3 months, praying each day for God to send me something. I know now He will because He keeps waking me up every day. Thank you Steve????

  19. Hebrews 11:1 is my scipture. My middle name is Faith. I’ve got it and you’re inspiration has guided me in jumping. I’ve got a helluva mess that will surprise you with the MESSage that I have. Listen to my message. God used you to change lives, mine included. I’m asking you to help God use me to inspire others as well. God isn’t through with me and I’m receiving all that He has for me! I expect God to do GREAT things in my life, one of them is for You, Mr. Steve Harvey to listen and invest in me!
