DON’T RUSH THE PROCESS | Powerful Motivational Speech ( TD Jakes & Les Brown)
[Music]
don’t deviate
don’t procrastinate don’t become
frustrated all you have to do to win
this battle
is still on track there are moments that
try the human soul so violently and so
perplexing that if the truth were told
all of us have had moments that we
wanted to throw up our hands and walk
away
discouragement can creep in secretly
hide behind clothes makeup hairdos
discouragement is so bold that it will
even hide behind a smile it will always
ride to work with you and if it doesn’t
catch a ride going to work it’ll catch a
ride on the way back home
[Music]
the facade of the smile and a good
morning and a praise the Lord and how
are you you will wonder if you’re ever
going to get out of what you’re into
don’t make a permanent decision over a
temporary circumstance don’t allow a
moment of agony to make you draw a
conclusion about life prematurely
because if you just keep on walking with
God God has a way of making everything
alright but he warns us and declares to
us that the steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord steps somebody steps
now the term steps implies process means
it’s don’t take a while
means that you can’t get to the
destination just because you want it
just because you saw it
just because you like it just because
you need it in fact we are often
tormented by vision we are tormented by
vision it’s painful thing to be a
visionary because the visionary sees
what shall be and wakes up to deal with
what is sometimes a visionary cries out
on the inside and says God don’t even
show me what shall be because every time
I shout and dance over what you showed
me I go home to a harsh and painful
bleak dark reality and the fact that I
am torn between what shall be and what
is creates agony in my life the Bible
said Hope deferred makes the heart sick
now now I’m not happy doing what I used
to be have been doing because I’m
tormented by what Shelby I want to
hasten my process so that I can get to
an expected end but that cannot be done
because the blessing given too soon is
not a blessing at all I could give my
son the car keys now and tell him to go
to the store but had I given it to him
when he was five it would not have been
a blessing the same car saying son
giving too soon he can’t handle it the
younger brother of the prodigal son
teaches us in frantically that if we get
what is ours too soon we cannot handle
it
my prayer has always been Lord don’t
give me more than I can happen you know
when to bless
you know how to bless me you know when
I’m ready to be blessed teach me
patience with the process go through the
process
God has ordered steps
the thing that I’m thankful for is to
know that God orders the steps it helps
me to understand that I am not wandering
aimlessly that I’m not just moving on my
own that there is of course for me to
take and that I can’t graduate till I
teach I prayed to abort the process I
prayed to speed it up I prayed to get
out of things that he wanted me to stay
into I prayed that I wouldn’t have to
endure some things that he wanted me to
endure I was working on the destination
but he was working on me and sometimes
he made me wait he he made me slow down
said no you skipped that step go bad
anytime you get anything too soon you
will trip on the steps
it is my sickness that makes my healing
it is my poverty that illuminates my
prosperity makes me appreciate where I
am oh god help me makes me appreciate
where I am right now you don’t know this
good health till you’ve been sick you
don’t even notice it you don’t even
understand the words that are coming out
of my mouth until you have been sick you
will never thank God for feeling good
until you felt bad you’ll never paint
God for your back for your neck for your
hand so you get this for your liver
until it’s been Charlie but after a
while you start taking on some crazy
stuff thank you come back and see this
morning don’t wait till you get to the
stage
don’t wait till you get finished don’t
wait till everything is in order but
every now and then you are to stop right
in the middle of the step and say Lord I
take it I’m not where I’m gonna be but
I’m glad I’m not where I used to be
thank you is there anybody in here just
praising God on the step I’m not there
yet I’m not finished yet
I haven’t arrived yet but when you see
me praising God
[Applause]
you bet not go to sleep on the step you
better not start crying on the steps you
better not give up on the steps you
might not collapse on the steps they
will find you on the steps if you lay
down there run over the top of you on
the steps
I don’t care where there’s sunshine or
rain players or pain when you get up in
the border put your pencil and press so
ladies and gentlemen if you want to make
your dream become reality the people
that are running at the dreams know that
it’s possible that you can live your
dream that’s it’s necessary that you’re
relentless that you have a plan of
action that you are creative the people
that are living their dream of finding
winners to attach themselves to the
people that are living their dreams of a
people that know that it’s if it’s going
to happen it’s up to live and they’re
resolving within themselves it’s not
over until I win the people that are
running after that dream know they’re
gonna have hard times they keep on
running because they’re saying within
themselves I’m the one I’m the one no
matter how bad it is or how bad it gets
I’m going to make it the people that are
running after their dreams of a people
that are hungry that if you want to
paying bad enough to go out and fight
for it to work day and night for it to
give up your time your peace and your
sleep for it if all that you dream and
scheme is about it and life seems
useless and worthless without it and if
your gladness
for in fretful and plan for it and lose
all your terror of the opposition for it
and if you simply go after that thing
that you want with all of your capacity
strength and sagacity Faith Hope and
confidence and stern pertinacity if
neither cold poverty famish of gold
sickness of pain of body and brain can
keep you away from the thing that you
want if dogged and grim you beseech and
beset it with the help of God you’ll get
it
[Music]
