- 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.
(congregation clapping and shouting)
