The 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:39.200 myth that we are debunking is the the cycle can't 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.120 be broken. Some of you feel this way, and it 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.400 can come and manifest itself in a lot of ways 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.800 in your life. For some of you, it's an issue 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.760 of salvation. You've not yet been born again. For some 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.880 of you, it's an issue of going back to that 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.640 old rugged cross and laying down your life all over again. 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.860 But we're going to slide over to studio B, And 0:01:00.860 --> 0:01:02.940 you're going to hear the heart of Ben Fuller in 0:01:02.940 --> 0:01:07.740 a way like he himself says. I don't know if 0:01:07.740 --> 0:01:10.220 I've ever had an interview like that. It was an 0:01:10.220 --> 0:01:14.620 interesting time with Ben Fuller, and you get the entirety 0:01:14.660 --> 0:01:18.260 of it right here. Buckle up, get a swig of water, 0:01:18.260 --> 0:01:20.020 and God bless you today. 0:01:21.180 --> 0:01:24.140 This is curl and Crew on Moody Radio. 0:01:24.940 --> 0:01:27.460 You know, it's not often that I get to sit 0:01:27.459 --> 0:01:31.620 down with a fellow former cocaine user. We weren't in 0:01:31.620 --> 0:01:36.860 the same decade. We weren't in the same region. But 0:01:36.860 --> 0:01:39.420 we tried to find the same thing to fill the void. 0:01:39.459 --> 0:01:41.100 Didn't work, did it, Ben Fuller? 0:01:41.140 --> 0:01:42.460 No. It didn't. Man. 0:01:42.819 --> 0:01:44.940 It's good to have you in here today. It really is. 0:01:44.980 --> 0:01:47.460 And I just want you to pour out your heart. 0:01:47.460 --> 0:01:50.380 When I saw the bio sheet on you, I'm like, man, 0:01:50.380 --> 0:01:54.020 this guy rode hard, got put away wet, and then 0:01:54.060 --> 0:01:58.059 found Jesus. It's the coolest story from when you walk 0:01:58.060 --> 0:02:01.150 into a worship auditorium with a few thousand people and 0:02:01.150 --> 0:02:04.670 you fall on your face receiving Jesus Christ, the new 0:02:04.670 --> 0:02:08.270 life of Christ poured out in you. Back up from there, man. 0:02:08.270 --> 0:02:09.790 It didn't start that way, did it? 0:02:09.790 --> 0:02:13.389 No. Uh, Vermont grew up in Vermont. Vermont? Yeah, yeah. 0:02:13.430 --> 0:02:15.910 On a dairy farm. And, you know, I think I 0:02:15.910 --> 0:02:20.350 think looking back at 14.5 years of of cocaine, alcohol 0:02:20.350 --> 0:02:23.310 and sleeping around and all the things, it's like, I 0:02:23.350 --> 0:02:27.110 just wanted to hear that I was loved, you know? 0:02:27.150 --> 0:02:29.750 And I never got that from my dad. Really. And 0:02:29.750 --> 0:02:32.109 so it was like. And I realize now digging in 0:02:32.150 --> 0:02:34.470 further that my grandpa didn't tell my dad that and 0:02:34.470 --> 0:02:36.230 my dad. So my dad didn't tell me that, you know, 0:02:36.230 --> 0:02:39.310 it was this generational thing that was like passed down. 0:02:39.310 --> 0:02:42.310 We just don't talk about emotion. We don't talk about love, 0:02:42.350 --> 0:02:44.590 you know? Yeah. And it was just something that I. 0:02:44.590 --> 0:02:50.550 I wanted so, so badly. Um, so with that missing, 0:02:50.870 --> 0:02:53.550 I just, I had a headbutt relationship with my dad, 0:02:53.590 --> 0:02:55.670 you know, and it was like, man, I'm just. I 0:02:55.669 --> 0:02:57.630 just need to get out of here. And then it 0:02:57.630 --> 0:03:00.730 wasn't long. I was 17, 18 years old, went to 0:03:00.730 --> 0:03:03.210 a party, says, hey man, why don't you do a 0:03:03.210 --> 0:03:06.210 line of this? This will this will fix your this 0:03:06.210 --> 0:03:08.570 will fix your problems, man. This will take you away. This. 0:03:08.610 --> 0:03:11.770 This will numb it. Numb it all. Yeah, and I did. 0:03:12.010 --> 0:03:14.970 And so man with my personality, it was just, it 0:03:14.970 --> 0:03:16.490 was just I was a train wreck. And so I 0:03:16.490 --> 0:03:20.250 just started using and um left and right. And then 0:03:20.250 --> 0:03:22.170 the more I could, the more I used, the more 0:03:22.169 --> 0:03:24.450 I could drink and vice versa. And so next thing 0:03:24.450 --> 0:03:27.450 you know, I just became this, like, closet addict hiding 0:03:27.450 --> 0:03:30.050 in plain sight, you know? And I had it all 0:03:30.090 --> 0:03:33.370 together on the outside, but on the inside, man, I 0:03:33.370 --> 0:03:37.610 was just empty. And so I was looking, searching, seeking 0:03:37.610 --> 0:03:39.810 for something, I think, you know, just to fill that 0:03:39.810 --> 0:03:44.210 hole in my heart that that missing love in my heart. And, um, 0:03:44.490 --> 0:03:49.130 I lost my best friend December 16th, 2017 to heroin, 0:03:49.170 --> 0:03:55.410 you know, and Ryan, Ryan told me, uh, months before, um, man, 0:03:55.410 --> 0:03:58.339 it's everything that they said it was. Don't you dare 0:03:58.380 --> 0:04:01.980 try it. And he went to rehab and two weeks 0:04:01.980 --> 0:04:04.660 later he got out and and shot up and died. 0:04:05.140 --> 0:04:08.420 And it was all fentanyl. And, um, you know, I 0:04:08.460 --> 0:04:11.380 quit for a while after that, I stopped doing drugs. 0:04:11.380 --> 0:04:12.620 I was like, man, I'm not going to. I don't 0:04:12.620 --> 0:04:15.020 want to die. I, you know, I slowed down on 0:04:15.020 --> 0:04:16.780 the drinking, all the stuff, but it was like, man, 0:04:16.779 --> 0:04:19.380 I was doing it under my own power. Yeah. And 0:04:19.380 --> 0:04:23.460 so 2018 shows up and I start singing country music, right? 0:04:23.540 --> 0:04:26.420 You know, and and I'm just like, I'm going to 0:04:26.420 --> 0:04:28.260 go for it. And I had a lot of friends 0:04:28.260 --> 0:04:29.979 support me and a lot of friends pushed me down 0:04:29.980 --> 0:04:32.859 to Nashville. And so in the fall, I moved and 0:04:32.900 --> 0:04:36.900 I left my landscape career of 15 years and, um, 0:04:36.900 --> 0:04:39.299 left the dairy farm, and I went down to Nashville 0:04:39.339 --> 0:04:41.980 to think I could make it in country music. But 0:04:41.980 --> 0:04:43.820 God had other plans for my life. 0:04:43.980 --> 0:04:47.620 He put you in. He put you into an auditorium 0:04:47.620 --> 0:04:50.820 with 3000 crazies for Jesus. And what happened? 0:04:50.860 --> 0:04:54.260 Yeah, man, it was the fall of 2019. He used 0:04:54.260 --> 0:04:57.520 this family from Vermont Mont. That he moved there a 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.160 year before I even got there, and they invited me 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.640 to dinner. And after this dinner they said, Will you 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.400 come to church with us? And I said, why not? Yeah, 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.640 you guys fed me. I'll feed you whatever. I'll go. And, uh, man, 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.240 I walked in and and it was like. And I 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.520 tell people, for someone who spent 14.5 years as a 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:21.239 drug addict, um, trying to get high and I've never 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.400 been higher. And I stood there with my feet off 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:29.279 the ground going, what is this? You know what has happened. What? 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:29.760 At this. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.039 Where am I? 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.240 This is what I've been looking for. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:33.960 The whole time. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.600 The whole entire time I was 32 years old. I 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.280 stepped foot in that place and I stood right in 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.599 the back. I didn't need to go to the front. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.000 I didn't need to go anywhere. I just stood right 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.560 in the back. And I heard about this man named Jesus, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.840 not as a swearer, but as a Savior. And I said, Lord, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.440 come fix this. Come. Come on. I dare you to 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.440 fix me because I'm so broken, I. I doubt you 0:05:55.540 --> 0:05:58.940 could even fix me. And man, like a wrecking ball. 0:05:59.540 --> 0:06:03.419 20 beers a night. I was drinking ten, eight, two 0:06:03.460 --> 0:06:05.380 zero over the course of two months. I was like, 0:06:05.380 --> 0:06:07.420 I don't even like the taste of alcohol anymore. No 0:06:07.420 --> 0:06:10.060 more cocaine, no more sex. Why don't you wait for 0:06:10.060 --> 0:06:12.500 your wife? My whole life, I felt like Jim Carrey 0:06:12.540 --> 0:06:17.380 from Liar Liar. You know, I'm like, the pen is blue. I'm, like, 0:06:17.380 --> 0:06:19.860 trying to lie and I can't even lie. 0:06:20.220 --> 0:06:22.020 And the Holy Spirit had a grip on you. 0:06:22.060 --> 0:06:24.340 I just convicted with everything. So I was like, man, 0:06:24.380 --> 0:06:27.460 my whole life is shifted. But I know one thing 0:06:27.460 --> 0:06:30.420 is for sure that I was this way, and now 0:06:30.420 --> 0:06:33.659 I'm this way. And the only common denominator in there 0:06:33.660 --> 0:06:35.539 is a man named Jesus. Amen. 0:06:36.140 --> 0:06:40.380 You know, today we're talking about the myth, and we've 0:06:40.380 --> 0:06:43.060 been debunking them all week long. But the big myth 0:06:43.060 --> 0:06:45.779 that still dangles out there is, I can't break this cycle. 0:06:45.779 --> 0:06:48.260 And I guess there's truth in that. If the word 0:06:48.260 --> 0:06:50.860 is I. Yeah, but can the cycle be broken? It can, 0:06:50.900 --> 0:06:52.900 by the power of Jesus Christ, the power of the 0:06:52.900 --> 0:06:55.870 Spirit of God that indwells dwells us and takes us over. 0:06:56.310 --> 0:06:59.350 And I was we're going to do if I got Jesus. 0:06:59.390 --> 0:07:01.710 But but you said nah, man, I got one even 0:07:01.710 --> 0:07:04.750 before that. So I want you to just lean in, man. 0:07:04.750 --> 0:07:07.630 Let the Spirit of God roll right through you and 0:07:07.670 --> 0:07:09.590 pour out your heart. This song is going to resonate 0:07:09.590 --> 0:07:10.350 with folks. 0:07:12.990 --> 0:07:21.390 Who? Who? 0:07:25.790 --> 0:07:33.110 You broke through a thousand fences. Been rescued from a 0:07:33.110 --> 0:07:39.190 thousand ditches. You still swear you don't fit in. So 0:07:39.190 --> 0:07:43.270 you kick and scream and you're gone again. Wandering off 0:07:43.270 --> 0:07:51.310 into the devil's wind. How's it going out there? Acting 0:07:51.310 --> 0:07:55.690 like you ain't scared. And how's that? Half a stone 0:07:55.930 --> 0:08:01.250 ain't so hard when you're alone. Cryin tears you hope 0:08:01.250 --> 0:08:07.690 nobody sees. Guess the good news is he'll never leave 0:08:07.690 --> 0:08:24.490 you be. Cause Jesus loves you. Black sheep. You hate 0:08:24.490 --> 0:08:32.490 everything about you. You think we're better off without you? 0:08:33.929 --> 0:08:36.969 So you wear your pain out on your sleeve. And 0:08:36.970 --> 0:08:40.050 you paint it on in a rebel ink. But the 0:08:40.050 --> 0:08:45.770 alcohol and pills ain't fixed a thing. So how's it 0:08:45.770 --> 0:08:51.370 goin out there? Actin like you ain't scared. And how's 0:08:51.370 --> 0:08:56.390 that half A stone ain't so hard when you're alone. 0:08:56.590 --> 0:09:03.110 Crying tears you hope nobody sees. I guess the good 0:09:03.110 --> 0:09:08.390 news is he'll never leave you be. Cause Jesus loves you. 0:09:08.390 --> 0:09:32.110 Black sheep. Cause Jesus loves you. Black sheep. I can't 0:09:32.150 --> 0:09:37.470 tell you when I ain't no prophet. But there'll come 0:09:37.470 --> 0:09:42.630 a point in time when you can't stop it. The 0:09:42.630 --> 0:09:47.790 good shepherds love smells like smoke. There ain't no hell 0:09:47.790 --> 0:09:52.199 so low. Where he won't let the hounds of heaven God! 0:09:54.520 --> 0:10:00.199 SIC em! Let the hounds of heaven go. How's it 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:06.040 goin out there? Actin like you ain't scared. How's that 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:12.239 heart stone? Ain't so hard when you're alone. Cryin tears 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:18.600 you hope nobody sees. Guess the good news is he'll 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:24.880 never leave you be. And amazing Grace. It's a pesky, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:31.280 pesky thing. But the good news is he'll never leave 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:47.839 you be. Cause Jesus loves you. Black sheep. Jesus loves you, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.160 black sheep. 0:10:59.780 --> 0:11:00.179 Oh. 0:11:15.100 --> 0:11:17.420 Man, that comes right from your belly, doesn't it, bud? 0:11:21.900 --> 0:11:26.060 You know, there's somebody listening right now, and this is 0:11:26.059 --> 0:11:28.420 so common. Ben. We were talking about this even before 0:11:28.420 --> 0:11:33.180 we went on air here that it's so easy to. 0:11:33.580 --> 0:11:39.020 That's why I love recovery ministry, but I also. It's 0:11:39.020 --> 0:11:41.420 also a very cautionary tale because there's a lot of 0:11:41.420 --> 0:11:45.020 people listening right now who they feel that black sheep, 0:11:45.260 --> 0:11:49.220 but they wonder, am I? Is my stuff big enough 0:11:49.220 --> 0:11:51.910 to even give to God because it feels so trivial. 0:11:52.190 --> 0:11:55.229 But anything that keeps us from the love of God. 0:11:55.550 --> 0:11:57.390 God's crawling out today, isn't he? 0:11:57.590 --> 0:11:59.390 Yeah, yeah. Amen. Amen. 0:11:59.429 --> 0:12:00.430 It's that real? 0:12:00.470 --> 0:12:00.870 Yeah. 0:12:01.350 --> 0:12:05.670 And I don't know what it is that has that 0:12:05.670 --> 0:12:12.350 nagging sense deep inside you that I'm unrecoverable. This death loop, um, 0:12:12.550 --> 0:12:16.189 of behavior can't be broken. It can. Yeah. The tomb 0:12:16.190 --> 0:12:19.030 is empty, and our God is alive. Ben. 0:12:19.309 --> 0:12:20.790 Yeah. Amen. 0:12:21.750 --> 0:12:22.630 It's just real. 0:12:22.670 --> 0:12:24.270 Yeah, it is real. Yeah. 0:12:25.590 --> 0:12:28.990 To the person that's just aching right now and wonders. 0:12:28.990 --> 0:12:32.670 And it's. It can be anything. From. What are they? 0:12:32.710 --> 0:12:39.030 It's food. It's it's outbursts of anger. It's unredeemed time. 0:12:39.230 --> 0:12:42.630 It's in the in. It's a ladder leaning against your 0:12:42.630 --> 0:12:45.350 401 K. I mean, the list goes on and on. 0:12:45.350 --> 0:12:46.910 What do you say, Ben? Pour out your heart. 0:12:46.950 --> 0:12:52.490 Yeah. I just say, man. um, what else have you got? 0:12:52.530 --> 0:12:55.929 You know, one of my favorite Bible verses is John six, 0:12:55.970 --> 0:12:58.809 verse six eight. To whom else shall we go? You know, 0:12:59.130 --> 0:13:01.330 and Jesus was talking about all the people that left, 0:13:01.370 --> 0:13:04.370 you know, because it's getting too hard. It's getting too tough. 0:13:04.410 --> 0:13:08.130 You know, you can't do it anymore. And Peter said, 0:13:08.170 --> 0:13:10.330 my Lord, to whom shall we go? Only you have 0:13:10.330 --> 0:13:12.969 the words of eternal life. You know. So maybe you've 0:13:13.010 --> 0:13:16.970 tried everything like me and like you. You know, we've 0:13:17.010 --> 0:13:17.809 tried everything. 0:13:17.850 --> 0:13:18.410 We tried it. 0:13:18.450 --> 0:13:21.570 We tried it all and nothing worked. And, um. Man, 0:13:21.570 --> 0:13:25.689 it was just a dead end road every single time. And, um, 0:13:25.690 --> 0:13:27.809 if you're tired, you know, if you're listening and you're 0:13:27.809 --> 0:13:29.890 tired and you're sick and you're just like, man, I'm 0:13:29.890 --> 0:13:32.290 ready for something else. I want something more. I need 0:13:32.290 --> 0:13:36.570 something new, you know? Um. Isaiah 43. Look, I'm doing 0:13:36.570 --> 0:13:38.890 a new thing. Can't you see it? Just call on 0:13:38.890 --> 0:13:40.730 his name, you know, and that's what I can't. I 0:13:40.770 --> 0:13:42.570 can't say it enough. It's like, man, how did you 0:13:42.570 --> 0:13:44.570 get that, man? Where did you do that? How did 0:13:44.570 --> 0:13:46.690 you play the Grand Ole Opry with Carrie Underwood? Man, 0:13:46.690 --> 0:13:48.870 how'd you get that tour bus, bro? How'd you play 0:13:48.870 --> 0:13:50.710 Red rocks, man? How'd you do all these things? You 0:13:50.710 --> 0:13:53.190 know what? I don't know, but I know one thing 0:13:53.190 --> 0:13:56.230 is true. And his name is Jesus. Because I was 0:13:56.230 --> 0:14:01.110 trying to do all those things before and nothing was happening. 0:14:01.110 --> 0:14:04.310 I was just spiraling. I was drinking myself to sleep 0:14:04.309 --> 0:14:06.630 every night. I was I was wallowing in my pain 0:14:06.630 --> 0:14:08.430 all the time. And I was so tired and sick 0:14:08.429 --> 0:14:11.310 and lonely. You know, I called in the name of Jesus. 0:14:11.309 --> 0:14:13.510 So I would just say this. Ask him for yourself. 0:14:14.150 --> 0:14:16.630 Ask him for yourself, you know, and you'll see what 0:14:16.630 --> 0:14:19.550 I mean. You'll see exactly what we're talking about. If 0:14:19.590 --> 0:14:22.550 you ask Jesus into your heart. Romans ten nine says, 0:14:22.550 --> 0:14:24.790 believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that 0:14:24.790 --> 0:14:26.990 Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from 0:14:26.990 --> 0:14:29.710 the dead. And if you believe that, you will be saved, 0:14:30.030 --> 0:14:32.190 you know this isn't a joke. I'm sitting here covered 0:14:32.190 --> 0:14:36.550 in tattoos and and and six foot three and and, uh, 0:14:36.550 --> 0:14:40.630 you know, I lived a lot of years really hard. And, um, 0:14:40.710 --> 0:14:43.350 Jesus has saved my life, you know? So I don't 0:14:43.350 --> 0:14:45.630 care who you are or what you've been through, what 0:14:45.630 --> 0:14:49.400 you're going through. He can change everything. He can fix 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:50.840 everything for you, and it's not. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:51.000 Going. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.480 To look pretty. And I think that's the thing. It 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.600 took me months to to give up the alcohol. It 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.720 took me months. Right. And and he's still working on 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.920 my heart. He's still he's still changing me. But it's like, man, 0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:01.640 I can promise you he's going to he's going to 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:02.320 change you. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.520 And he's merciful in that. Ben. I mean, one of 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.320 my worst face plant relapses was three weeks after I 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.680 was radically born again. Yeah, I was at my uncle's home, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.160 and I walked into the room at 3 a.m. into 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.520 my bedroom. And I'm glad my uncle was awake to 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.880 hear me cry out to God. And I just said, God, 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.080 you saved me. Now kill me. Because obviously I can't 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.240 win this battle. Yeah, and my uncle put his arm 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.120 around me. He goes, no, no, we're going to we're 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.000 going to get this. It's a step at a time 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.880 out of this thing. Yeah. You know, you've written a 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.920 song if if I got Jesus. Yeah. And you say 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.760 in there, I've got it all. Do you believe that 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:39.440 Ben Fuller? 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.640 Yeah. I think because I've had all these things, I've 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.280 had all these other things that don't mean anything. And 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.180 I'm realizing that, too. You know, all these all these 0:15:49.180 --> 0:15:52.460 special things. And I just bought a farm in Tennessee, 0:15:52.900 --> 0:15:55.380 and I'm so grateful that God has opened the doors 0:15:55.420 --> 0:15:58.420 for that and, and all this stuff. And it's like, man, I've, like, 0:15:58.460 --> 0:16:00.740 walked the land. And it's so special and so beautiful 0:16:00.740 --> 0:16:04.580 and amazing and and a beautiful old house and all 0:16:04.580 --> 0:16:06.660 this stuff. And I'm like, man. But it's just that, yeah, 0:16:06.700 --> 0:16:07.739 it's just vanity. 0:16:07.780 --> 0:16:11.060 Red rocks, red rocks, the buses, the bus, the farm 0:16:11.060 --> 0:16:13.300 is the farm. But if I got Jesus. 0:16:13.300 --> 0:16:13.820 I got it. 0:16:13.820 --> 0:16:16.420 All. Give it to us. Come on, man. Pour it out. 0:16:16.460 --> 0:16:17.980 I will pour it out. 0:16:24.820 --> 0:16:28.780 I've had a dollar to my name. And I've had 0:16:28.780 --> 0:16:34.780 friends that walked away. And I've even lost myself a 0:16:34.780 --> 0:16:41.460 time or two. There were bridges crossed and burnt. But 0:16:41.460 --> 0:16:46.870 through all the wreckage I had learned. There's one thing 0:16:47.390 --> 0:16:55.590 that I could never lose if I got Jesus. I've 0:16:55.630 --> 0:17:00.830 got all that I could ever need. Take the world 0:17:00.830 --> 0:17:06.790 away from me and I'll be okay. If I got Jesus. 0:17:09.270 --> 0:17:13.870 There's a hope that's living deep inside. The joy that 0:17:13.869 --> 0:17:18.550 I could never hide. In a safe place to fall. 0:17:18.990 --> 0:17:26.310 If I got Jesus, I got it all. But I 0:17:26.350 --> 0:17:31.389 seen weakness turned to strength. And I've seen failures met 0:17:31.390 --> 0:17:36.070 with grace. And it's not from what I've done. It's 0:17:36.070 --> 0:17:43.110 Christ in me and on me. I can't explain all 0:17:43.190 --> 0:17:48.209 he's given Giving me his name. I'm the richest man 0:17:48.570 --> 0:17:56.850 I could ever be. If I got sick. I've got 0:17:56.890 --> 0:18:02.330 all that I could ever need. Take the world away 0:18:02.490 --> 0:18:07.530 from me and I'll be okay if I got sick. 0:18:09.890 --> 0:18:14.810 There's a hope that's living deep inside. Joy. That I 0:18:14.850 --> 0:18:19.730 could never hide. A safe place to fall. If I 0:18:19.770 --> 0:18:29.369 got Jesus, I got it all. Oh, someday that trumpet's 0:18:29.410 --> 0:18:36.690 gonna sound. And the King of heaven will ride upon 0:18:36.690 --> 0:18:42.530 the clouds coming down. Then I'll hit my knees. Oh Lord. 0:18:42.770 --> 0:18:50.310 Then sings my soul. Yes. I'm going home. If I 0:18:50.310 --> 0:18:57.310 got Jesus. I've got all that I could ever need. 0:18:57.590 --> 0:19:02.710 Take the world away from me. And I'll be okay. 0:19:03.350 --> 0:19:10.910 If I got Jesus. There's no hope that's living deep inside. 0:19:11.109 --> 0:19:16.429 Joy that I could never hide. A safe place to fall. 0:19:16.790 --> 0:19:24.230 If I got tears. I got it all. If I 0:19:24.230 --> 0:19:29.710 got Jesus. I got it all. 0:19:35.070 --> 0:19:38.510 You know you're listening right now. And you're thinking I 0:19:38.630 --> 0:19:41.149 want that. Jesus. You know, I want to be really 0:19:41.150 --> 0:19:44.640 clear with you what Jesus said. He said, don't let 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.880 your hearts be troubled to his early disciples. And he's 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.040 speaking to you today. He says, Believe in God. Believe 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:59.119 also in me. And. Thomas actually said to him, he says, now, now, 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.240 hold it here. I don't know exactly where you're going. 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.480 And these boys don't either. And he said, I'm going 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.040 to prepare a place for you, and I'm going to 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.520 come again and take you to myself. That where I am, 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.160 there you will be also. Then he went on to explain, 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:15.919 he said, I am the way and the truth and 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.359 the life. No man comes to the father but through me. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.479 And right now, today, right now, in this moment. See, 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.320 just like Ben Fuller, you don't have to walk down 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.000 a center aisle. You don't have to lift a hand 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:26.600 in the air. You can fall to your knees right 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.760 now and receive the love of Jesus. And he will 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:33.439 change you forever. Right now. Right now. And so I 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.280 just want to ask you right now. Is today your day? 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:36.840 I'm going to have Ben pray over you in just 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.720 a moment. But it's today, the day that you say 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.560 I'm going a new way. I'm going God's way. That 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.780 means that you've got to say this because repentance doesn't 0:20:45.780 --> 0:20:48.340 have sticky hands. It let goes of lets go of 0:20:48.340 --> 0:20:51.100 everything on this broad path that leads to destruction. But 0:20:51.100 --> 0:20:54.660 right now you're saying I'm done. I'm turning around and 0:20:54.660 --> 0:20:57.220 following Jesus. I'm saying no to everything that I've built 0:20:57.220 --> 0:20:59.980 my life around to this point in time. The cycle 0:20:59.980 --> 0:21:03.300 can be broken today through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 0:21:03.300 --> 0:21:05.260 The tomb is empty. Our God is alive. The Holy 0:21:05.260 --> 0:21:08.180 Spirit is calling you out of darkness. Not Ben, not Carl. 0:21:08.740 --> 0:21:11.300 Holy spirit is calling you out of darkness into the light. 0:21:12.100 --> 0:21:15.100 Jesus said, I'm the truth. You're willing to embrace the truth? 0:21:15.100 --> 0:21:17.660 Hard truth. You're a sinner and you need a Savior. 0:21:18.380 --> 0:21:21.780 And his name is Jesus. And his arms are open wide. 0:21:22.100 --> 0:21:26.900 His arms aren't folded, they're open wide. And he says, 0:21:26.900 --> 0:21:29.660 I am the life, and he's going to fill you 0:21:29.660 --> 0:21:32.179 up with a life like you've never had before, my friend. 0:21:32.180 --> 0:21:36.139 And today is the day. And if this you. This 0:21:36.140 --> 0:21:40.139 isn't about you doing anything except falling on your face 0:21:40.140 --> 0:21:42.800 before God. You might be driving, but you're on your face. 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.320 And you can wipe those tears away because you got 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.800 a hand helping you. His name is Jesus. And if 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.240 today is the day right now that you are turning around, 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.200 I'm going to give you a resource here in a moment. 0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.240 But if today is the day when you're turning around 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.560 off this broad path onto the narrow path, today is 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.800 the day that you man up, woman up, and you say, 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:08.920 I'm a sinner, I need a Savior. Praise God, because 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.280 if you confess, as Ben said earlier, with your mouth, 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.600 Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.080 raised him from the dead, you will be saved. And 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:17.919 you know what God's saving you from? He's saving you 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:24.240 from yourself. That's what he's saving you from. Because below cocaine, 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:34.400 below stuff below 401 below significant status security is you. 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.679 And I've got enough courage to tell you you're the problem. 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:44.770 And Jesus is the answer. We got many surrendering to 0:22:44.770 --> 0:22:48.010 Jesus right now. Today. Ben, would you pray for him? Yeah. 0:22:49.090 --> 0:22:50.650 Father God, we just come to you and we just 0:22:50.650 --> 0:22:52.610 thank you. Thank you for the truth. Thank you that 0:22:52.609 --> 0:22:54.290 we don't have to have it all together. We don't 0:22:54.290 --> 0:22:56.530 have to have it all figured out that we can 0:22:56.530 --> 0:23:00.770 be a mess, that our lives can be falling apart, 0:23:01.770 --> 0:23:04.969 that we have nowhere to turn. Um. But, father, I 0:23:04.970 --> 0:23:07.530 just thank you for. For riding with us, for walking 0:23:07.530 --> 0:23:11.330 with us, for for loving us when nobody else does.

For Carl. 0:23:30.970 --> 0:23:32.929 And I'm so grateful for his life. It's by the 0:23:32.930 --> 0:23:35.050 blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Father, 0:23:35.050 --> 0:23:36.730 I thank you for all the stories that are going 0:23:36.770 --> 0:23:39.709 to be told. Yes.

The 0:23:45.990 --> 0:23:49.710 wipers turned on and my car started running again. The 0:23:49.710 --> 0:23:52.670 tires suddenly had air in them and I could go. 0:23:52.670 --> 0:23:55.910 So hallelujah! We thank you. We thank you for all 0:23:55.910 --> 0:23:59.909 the people that have realized that. That it's you, Jesus, 0:23:59.910 --> 0:24:02.909 that they've been looking for. It was you, father, that 0:24:02.910 --> 0:24:05.590 I was looking for the whole time. Yeah, I love you. 0:24:05.630 --> 0:24:09.190 We love you. And it's in Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

And we want to help you 0:26:20.820 --> 0:26:23.660 in your first steps with Jesus is to if today 0:26:23.660 --> 0:26:28.500 is the day when you have most clearly heard the 0:26:28.500 --> 0:26:31.780 voice of God saying, surrender all to me, give it all, 0:26:33.780 --> 0:26:38.200 we just invite you into the Kingdom of God. See 0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:42.560 if God is your father through surrender to His Son 0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:48.359 Jesus Christ. And the cry of your soul is, save me. 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:52.200 I'm turning around. I don't have any sticky fingers. I'm 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:57.840 going your way. God. You embrace the truth that you're 0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:02.320 a sinner who needs a Savior. You know, when you 0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:05.760 come to that point where you're at the end of yourself, 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:12.520 that's when the work of God begins. Everything else has 0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:17.440 been the work of creation, the work of formation of 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:21.679 you in the womb, the work of cutting through this 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:25.720 fog of deception from Satan. But today you're new. And 0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.719 if today is your new day in Christ Jesus, welcome 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:34.879 to the family. Just text the word new to 800 555, 78, 98. 0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.570 And All I can say is just welcome to the family. 0:27:37.570 --> 0:27:40.050 I'm going to shout out some numbers. These are surrendering 0:27:40.090 --> 0:27:43.650 to Jesus today on this Freedom Friday cycles being broken. 0:27:44.290 --> 0:27:46.770 And what Ben said. That is so right on. I 0:27:46.770 --> 0:27:48.330 need you to hear my heart here for a second. 0:27:49.890 --> 0:27:56.650 It's it's not a it's not an absolute straight line 0:27:56.650 --> 0:27:59.610 because now we're into this. As J. Warner Wallace said 0:27:59.609 --> 0:28:02.650 earlier this week, we're in this hallway with twists, turns, 0:28:02.650 --> 0:28:06.650 ups and downs, sucker punches from our blind side, all 0:28:06.650 --> 0:28:12.250 kinds of attacks down this hallway. But God's gifts and 0:28:12.250 --> 0:28:16.770 callings are absolutely irrevocable. In whom the son sets free 0:28:16.770 --> 0:28:21.409 is free indeed. And he will keep you, and he 0:28:21.410 --> 0:28:25.610 will guide you, and he will carry on to completion 0:28:25.609 --> 0:28:27.889 this work that he began in you. I want to 0:28:27.890 --> 0:28:34.689 welcome you to the family for 99277127299 just shouting out 0:28:34.690 --> 0:28:59.750 the last four numbers of your telephone number 59, 86, 73, 94, 41, 53, 69, 80, 57, 65, 21, 90, 91, 036, six, nine, two, two, five, 50, 77, 18, 29, 54, 36. 0:29:02.270 --> 0:29:13.150 7603 0255 3778. Welcome to the family. I'm shouting out numbers. 0:29:13.150 --> 0:29:16.550 Last four numbers of telephone numbers from all across North 0:29:16.550 --> 0:29:20.910 America and beyond. Surrendering to Jesus today after hearing Ben 0:29:20.910 --> 0:29:24.390 Fuller's story and a couple beautiful songs in the Spirit 0:29:24.390 --> 0:29:27.190 of God cut through the darkness, man like tore down 0:29:27.990 --> 0:29:52.400 that big veil that's been held up 13, 51, zero five, 33, 30, 89, 83, 64, 1205, 91, 98, 64, 64, 26, 62. 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:58.800 Welcome to the family. To all of you. 07904265. Welcome 0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:00.920 to the family. To each and every one of you. 0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:04.480 And God has begun this work in you. I want 0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:06.680 to add just a little bit of mustard to this 0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.400 link that you're receiving right now. I want to add 0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:15.520 and ask you to go tell two people this morning 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.520 what Jesus has done in your life. Go tell. Go 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.640 tell two people what Jesus has done in your life today. 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:25.080 Let them know. Let them know. Share the joy that's 0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:28.760 in your heart. Share the questions that are in your heart. 0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:32.600 And then I want you to find a good church. 0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.300 A church. And we've got a link in this embedded 0:30:35.300 --> 0:30:37.060 in this little link that we sent out to you. 0:30:37.060 --> 0:30:40.020 This is maybe the most important thing. I forget what 0:30:40.020 --> 0:30:42.180 I titled that blog that we've got in there. Somebody 0:30:42.180 --> 0:30:42.620 help me. 0:30:42.660 --> 0:30:44.660 Yeah, I'll find it. I think it's, uh, seven things 0:30:44.660 --> 0:30:45.660 to look for in a church. 0:30:45.700 --> 0:30:48.620 Yeah, something like that. And these seven things are right 0:30:48.620 --> 0:30:51.900 from my heart to yours. Find a church that's going 0:30:51.940 --> 0:30:54.740 to put their arms around you. It's filled with imperfect 0:30:54.740 --> 0:30:58.620 but passionate people who love Jesus. And you find. You 0:30:58.620 --> 0:31:02.220 find that place. Get there. Fight through the war and 0:31:02.220 --> 0:31:05.060 get there. You're also going to hear voices in your 0:31:05.060 --> 0:31:09.900 head like that won't work. You're going to fail again. 0:31:10.940 --> 0:31:13.700 I need you to know that that is the voice 0:31:13.700 --> 0:31:17.260 of Satan. That's not just something rattling around in your head, 0:31:17.580 --> 0:31:20.420 and he's attempting to discourage and defeat you right when 0:31:20.420 --> 0:31:22.420 you get out of the chute, because now he's got 0:31:22.460 --> 0:31:26.660 one job that he wants to do. He wants to. 0:31:27.660 --> 0:31:32.020 If you can't keep your soul from God, he wants 0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:35.600 to keep your life from being unfruitful. That's what he 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:40.320 wants to do. And that's this path that we walk 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:44.840 down this hallway with bumps and turns and sharp edges. 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.920 But God's going to navigate you through your your role 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.960 is to stay as humble and teachable today, uh, throughout 0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.440 all the days of your life. And Katie bar the door. 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.440 He's going to do something amazing. Want to acknowledge as well. 0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:02.520 0103 welcome to the family. And it looks like 9533 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:04.680 might need some help getting that link to him guys, 0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:10.920 but that's beautiful. Coming up. I want to talk to 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:16.600 you who feel like you were there once. You know 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:21.760 what God's saying? Come back home. Come back home. 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:26.000 You're listening to Curl and Crew on Moody Radio. 0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.680 You know, the interesting thing about repentance is I think 0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:32.370 we we sometimes believe it's like one and done, right. 0:32:32.410 --> 0:32:36.530 I mean, that's what we believe. And the fact is 0:32:36.570 --> 0:32:40.170 we get many opportunities, even on this path, this narrow 0:32:40.170 --> 0:32:44.050 path that leads to life to jump back on. There's 0:32:44.050 --> 0:32:49.050 this term that's used backsliding. It's really not a biblical term. 0:32:49.290 --> 0:32:52.130 I know what's meant by it, but it's nowhere found 0:32:52.130 --> 0:32:55.730 in the New Testament, that's for sure. But we find 0:32:55.770 --> 0:33:00.090 something else that's going on. There are these distractions, these 0:33:00.130 --> 0:33:03.930 off ramps on this path less traveled, called the narrow 0:33:03.930 --> 0:33:09.730 path of following Jesus. And it's a constant threat. Now, 0:33:09.770 --> 0:33:11.450 I don't want you to be freaked out by that, 0:33:11.450 --> 0:33:15.530 because this work that God began in you, Philippians one six, 0:33:15.530 --> 0:33:18.530 he'll carry on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 0:33:18.530 --> 0:33:21.610 I would say that this the need, though, for us 0:33:21.610 --> 0:33:26.530 to stay humbly in close contact with God the Son 0:33:26.530 --> 0:33:29.370 and the Holy Spirit, experiencing the liberty of being led 0:33:29.370 --> 0:33:32.430 along by him, aware moment by moment that he is 0:33:32.430 --> 0:33:37.670 guiding us is paramount. It is. Boom. I mean, it's boom. 0:33:38.270 --> 0:33:40.110 We just got to stay there. And let me show 0:33:40.110 --> 0:33:44.229 you why. In the book of revelation, we find a 0:33:44.990 --> 0:33:48.390 revelation given to John on the island of Patmos, to 0:33:48.430 --> 0:33:51.430 the church of Laodicea. Now this is to the church 0:33:51.430 --> 0:33:54.990 of Laodicea. These are men and women of God. And 0:33:54.990 --> 0:33:58.070 they collectively had an issue that's so similar to the 0:33:58.070 --> 0:34:00.989 West today. This is like you can just you can 0:34:00.990 --> 0:34:04.030 just copy these words and layer it right over our lives. 0:34:04.030 --> 0:34:06.110 And many of you would resonate, and I believe the 0:34:06.110 --> 0:34:09.149 Holy Spirit will help you with this this morning. This 0:34:09.150 --> 0:34:11.670 is what Jesus says. He says, John, write this down. 0:34:11.910 --> 0:34:15.430 I know your works. You are neither hot nor cold. 0:34:15.710 --> 0:34:18.350 Would that you were either cold or hot. So because 0:34:18.350 --> 0:34:20.430 you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will 0:34:20.430 --> 0:34:23.069 spit you out of my mouth. This is not the 0:34:23.070 --> 0:34:26.989 losing of salvation. God's gifts and calling are irrevocable. You 0:34:26.989 --> 0:34:32.890 didn't save yourself. You can't lose yourself. That's impossible. But 0:34:32.890 --> 0:34:37.330 it is possible. For born again children of God to 0:34:37.410 --> 0:34:43.730 get so lukewarm. Meaning? Tap water. Yicky. No one likes 0:34:43.730 --> 0:34:47.330 tap water. Nope. Just coming through the pipes. 0:34:47.370 --> 0:34:49.850 It's gross. I need it. Put some ice in that. 0:34:51.050 --> 0:34:53.250 Or some heat to it. One of the two. This. 0:34:53.250 --> 0:34:55.690 This is just about. Let's get. What are we doing here? 0:34:56.330 --> 0:35:00.490 And this is what Jesus says. For I say to you, 0:35:02.450 --> 0:35:07.009 you say you're rich. I have prospered, and I have 0:35:07.050 --> 0:35:11.569 need of nothing. Now stop here. Because relative to the 0:35:11.570 --> 0:35:17.609 world around us, the threat for our stuff, the access 0:35:17.610 --> 0:35:21.649 that we have to find satisfaction and security in the 0:35:21.650 --> 0:35:26.529 stuff of this world. It is immense battle. It is 0:35:26.530 --> 0:35:29.980 an immense battle. The very things that we pray for 0:35:30.020 --> 0:35:33.980 can often become the very distractions from God in our life. 0:35:34.540 --> 0:35:39.379 This is what Jesus says. You say you're rich. You've prospered. 0:35:39.420 --> 0:35:43.060 Need nothing. Not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, 0:35:43.100 --> 0:35:45.700 blind and naked. Boy, those are hard words to hear. 0:35:46.700 --> 0:35:50.580 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, 0:35:50.580 --> 0:35:53.500 so that you may be rich, and white garments, that 0:35:53.500 --> 0:35:57.259 you may clothe yourselves, and the shame of your nakedness 0:35:57.260 --> 0:36:01.420 may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, 0:36:01.420 --> 0:36:03.660 so that you may see. All this is related to 0:36:03.700 --> 0:36:06.459 what was going on in Laodicea. Jesus is saying, look, 0:36:06.540 --> 0:36:10.259 you guys are famous for your riches, your eyesalve, all 0:36:10.300 --> 0:36:13.540 this stuff. But man, you need to get you need 0:36:13.540 --> 0:36:15.580 to go down to the market, the spiritual market, and 0:36:15.580 --> 0:36:18.299 get some spiritual linens for your body because you are 0:36:18.420 --> 0:36:25.819 buck naked. And here we go. Man, those whom I love, 0:36:26.180 --> 0:36:30.600 I reprove and discipline, not punish. God loves you so 0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:35.720 much he will discipline you. Now this is any healthy 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:39.280 parent knows that if you're going to train up a kid, 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.839 there's sometimes things you got to do that your kids 0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.400 are not going to like, but it's for the purpose 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:49.400 of getting their attention and getting them on the path 0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:54.600 at home. Yeah, God's saying that spiritually to you. Those 0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:58.160 who I love, I reprove and discipline. So be zealous 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:03.120 and repent. Here we find repentance for the church, for 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:07.040 you to turn around, to get that white hot love 0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:10.400 for Jesus back again. Now, this issue of discipline is 0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.080 a big one. And I want to tell you, I'm 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.319 going to give you a resource that is going to 0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.680 allow you to look at your life and go, oh, 0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:20.800 this is why God's not here in my voice. Possibly. 0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:25.560 Is that true? Is it true that some prayers go nowhere? Yes. 0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:28.210 And I'm going to reveal this to you. Coming up 0:37:28.210 --> 0:37:28.890 straight ahead. 0:37:29.969 --> 0:37:33.009 He's a sports fanatic with a stat for anything you 0:37:33.010 --> 0:37:37.210 can think of. Young Thunder is in the crew. It's 0:37:37.210 --> 0:37:39.530 curling crew on Moody Radio. 0:37:39.810 --> 0:37:42.049 All right. We look at the church of Laodicea and 0:37:42.050 --> 0:37:45.290 we get something that that is so applicable. And I 0:37:45.330 --> 0:37:48.009 want you to know this. There's no condemnation for those 0:37:48.010 --> 0:37:51.370 who are in Christ Jesus. I am absolutely convinced no 0:37:51.370 --> 0:37:55.250 one's cheering for us more than our Heavenly Father, because 0:37:55.969 --> 0:37:58.370 I'm sure in yesterday's story about my dad, who just 0:37:58.370 --> 0:38:04.810 showed love to me when I was. I survived the 0:38:04.850 --> 0:38:08.730 great Alaska earthquake and it was nine point whatever on 0:38:08.730 --> 0:38:11.450 the Richter scale. It was huge. Three plus minutes. It 0:38:11.450 --> 0:38:17.330 shook the ground. And I say this to illustrate the 0:38:17.330 --> 0:38:19.969 love of the father. Jesus said, If a father on 0:38:19.969 --> 0:38:24.609 earth we being evil, meaning that we don't even have 0:38:24.610 --> 0:38:27.950 it squared away. If a son asks for a piece 0:38:27.950 --> 0:38:29.910 of bread, we won't give him a stone. How much more? 0:38:29.910 --> 0:38:33.950 So our father in heaven. And one, one day, with 0:38:33.950 --> 0:38:36.549 the aftermath of that earthquake was. My whole world was 0:38:36.550 --> 0:38:38.870 upside down. It's the first memory I have from life 0:38:38.870 --> 0:38:44.710 was that great Alaska earthquake on Good Friday. And, you know, 0:38:45.510 --> 0:38:48.830 one night I was so embarrassed I couldn't stop peeing 0:38:48.830 --> 0:38:52.310 my bed for a long time after that earthquake. Just 0:38:53.070 --> 0:38:57.629 waking up screaming in the night. So embarrassing for a 0:38:57.630 --> 0:39:00.350 little kid to be peeing in his bed when you've 0:39:00.390 --> 0:39:05.230 outgrown that. Walked into my folks bedroom. Dad was on 0:39:05.230 --> 0:39:08.430 the nearest side to me and sometimes he heard me scream, 0:39:08.430 --> 0:39:11.910 and this time they didn't hear me screaming. But I'm 0:39:11.910 --> 0:39:13.830 laying in this mess. And I got up and I 0:39:13.870 --> 0:39:17.029 went in. I grabbed dad's shoulder. He sound asleep. I said, dad, 0:39:17.030 --> 0:39:21.750 I'm sorry. I wet my bed. Oh yeah. Oh, Carl. 0:39:22.190 --> 0:39:26.089 It's okay. Come on, son. And he came into the 0:39:26.090 --> 0:39:31.169 bedroom with me and he was so good to me. 0:39:31.530 --> 0:39:33.730 He said, let's just fold these up. Well, mom will 0:39:33.730 --> 0:39:36.410 get these cleaned up in the morning. I think she's 0:39:36.410 --> 0:39:38.970 got some new sheets over here. Here we go. Let's 0:39:38.969 --> 0:39:41.570 let's put these on. Let's get this all cleaned up. 0:39:44.210 --> 0:39:45.810 He put his hand on my shoulder. He said, that's 0:39:45.810 --> 0:39:47.770 no problem, son. I'm here to help you. If you 0:39:47.770 --> 0:39:50.609 ever have this happen again, you just. You just let 0:39:50.610 --> 0:39:57.089 me know. I said thanks, dad. All the words I'm 0:39:57.090 --> 0:39:59.530 about to tell you are from a loving father who 0:39:59.530 --> 0:40:03.410 is for you. And you don't have to wake him up. 0:40:05.170 --> 0:40:09.850 He's right here. It's. It's so beautiful. The church of 0:40:09.850 --> 0:40:16.410 Laodicea is a message to you and me. It's a very, um, 0:40:16.570 --> 0:40:24.540 wealthy community. Laodicea was. They had the American Dream before 0:40:24.540 --> 0:40:30.180 the American Dream was invented, and it was eaten their 0:40:30.180 --> 0:40:34.020 lunch spiritually as a church. It was chewing them up 0:40:34.020 --> 0:40:40.580 and spitting them out, man. And you know what Jesus 0:40:40.580 --> 0:40:45.580 says lovingly to him? He said, listen, I know your works. 0:40:45.580 --> 0:40:49.419 You're neither hot nor cold. This lukewarm Christianity, I'm just 0:40:49.420 --> 0:40:52.060 spitting it out. It's not loss of salvation, it's just. 0:40:52.100 --> 0:40:57.300 He says, come on, guys, there's so much more. It's 0:40:57.340 --> 0:41:01.220 a it's a return to your first love. And what 0:41:01.219 --> 0:41:04.060 happened was, is that they thought they were rich. They 0:41:04.060 --> 0:41:06.980 were saying it to themselves, not out loud, but we 0:41:07.020 --> 0:41:09.860 got it going on here. I've prospered. I don't really 0:41:09.860 --> 0:41:13.660 need you. It didn't say that. They never would have 0:41:13.660 --> 0:41:15.420 said that when they met together as a church. They 0:41:15.420 --> 0:41:18.219 never sang a song. We don't need you. Oh, we 0:41:18.219 --> 0:41:19.300 don't need you. 0:41:19.340 --> 0:41:20.620 Sure don't think so. 0:41:20.660 --> 0:41:28.200 No no, no. They were singing songs that they need him, 0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:32.759 but that their live revealed that they didn't. And or 0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:36.600 so they thought. And he said, you're naked, you're poor, 0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:40.120 you're blind, you're pitiable, you're wretched. And he says, I 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:43.040 counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.120 so that ye may be rich and white garments, so 0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.120 that you may clothe yourself. And the shame of your 0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.200 nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:55.279 so that you may see those whom I love. I 0:41:55.320 --> 0:42:05.080 reprove and discipline. So be zealous and repent. Do radically transform. 0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:08.360 Followers of Jesus need to repent on the path. Yeah, yeah, 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.920 we don't backslide. We just find diversions, things to fill 0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:17.000 us and satisfy us and give us security that are 0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.760 not God. And he says, you're missing the boat, man. 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:22.370 As a matter of fact, you know what we've done 0:42:22.370 --> 0:42:25.290 with Jesus. We often use this verse or hear it 0:42:25.290 --> 0:42:27.529 said for people to come to Jesus know this is 0:42:27.530 --> 0:42:30.810 come back to Jesus. He says, behold, I stand at 0:42:30.810 --> 0:42:32.969 the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and 0:42:32.969 --> 0:42:35.529 opens the door, I will come into him and eat 0:42:35.530 --> 0:42:39.330 with him, and he with me. I want you to 0:42:39.330 --> 0:42:45.290 come back to daddy. Your heavenly Father today. And the 0:42:45.290 --> 0:42:49.170 Lord struck me while we were on air with this earlier. 0:42:49.730 --> 0:42:52.529 And I'm like, oh my goodness. I know what I've 0:42:52.530 --> 0:42:55.410 got to do. I want to give you a resource. 0:42:55.810 --> 0:43:00.129 There are biblical reasons why God doesn't answer our prayers. 0:43:00.530 --> 0:43:02.930 You know what it is. It's called discipline. He loves 0:43:02.930 --> 0:43:06.930 you enough to freeze you out, but he's cheering for 0:43:06.930 --> 0:43:10.609 you right now to come back. And I mean, it 0:43:10.610 --> 0:43:17.969 is as simple as ignoring truth. It's a jealous spirit. 0:43:17.969 --> 0:43:22.590 It's self-focus. It's husbands that are unloving. They're not loving 0:43:22.590 --> 0:43:25.950 their wives. Let me just give you this one. Likewise, husbands, 0:43:25.950 --> 0:43:27.950 this is out of first Peter three seven. Live with 0:43:27.950 --> 0:43:30.589 your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the 0:43:30.590 --> 0:43:33.630 woman as a weaker vessel, since they are heirs with 0:43:33.630 --> 0:43:36.070 you of the grace of life, so that your prayers 0:43:36.070 --> 0:43:38.709 may not be hindered. Men, some of you are not 0:43:38.710 --> 0:43:42.510 loving your wives well, and I'm telling you, you've pushed 0:43:42.510 --> 0:43:46.350 Jesus out. And listen. He's knocking at the door. He's 0:43:46.350 --> 0:43:49.070 not beating it down. He's saying, come on, open it up, 0:43:49.350 --> 0:43:52.109 and he's giving you an opportunity to repent today. Some 0:43:52.110 --> 0:43:55.670 are hard hearted right now. Some of you have willful sin. 0:43:56.790 --> 0:44:04.910 You've cherished iniquity in your heart. And in Psalm 66 0:44:04.910 --> 0:44:07.030 it said, the Lord would not have listened. But truly 0:44:07.030 --> 0:44:09.390 God has listened. He has attended to the voice of 0:44:09.390 --> 0:44:15.469 my prayer because he repented. Double mindedness. I've given seven 0:44:15.469 --> 0:44:17.989 things that indicate that God loves you so much, he 0:44:17.989 --> 0:44:21.089 will freeze you out of communication to get your attention. 0:44:21.090 --> 0:44:23.009 And I think God's doing that today. And I want 0:44:23.010 --> 0:44:26.089 you to get this resource right now. Young Thunder, how 0:44:26.090 --> 0:44:26.610 did they do it? 0:44:26.650 --> 0:44:29.450 My man yeah, just text the word prayers. Text the 0:44:29.450 --> 0:44:34.610 word prayers to 800 555, 7898.

If my dad, 0:44:48.090 --> 0:44:51.529 being an earthly man, waking him in the middle of 0:44:51.530 --> 0:44:53.370 the night, can come up and clean up a mess, 0:44:53.370 --> 0:44:55.330 he can. I'll tell you what. Our father in heaven 0:44:55.330 --> 0:44:58.810 will clean up yours right now. Come back to Jesus today. 0:44:59.610 --> 0:45:05.370 Come back to Jesus today.

Godspeed to you, friend. 0:45:13.650 --> 0:45:17.689 Romans eight brought her to Jesus while broadcasting traffic overnight. 0:45:18.050 --> 0:45:21.740 Super die is in the crew. It's curl and crew 0:45:21.820 --> 0:45:23.100 on Moody Radio. 0:45:23.140 --> 0:45:25.100 Churchill lived to see. The first time I read this, 0:45:25.100 --> 0:45:28.219 I remember I was a young follower of Jesus. I 0:45:28.219 --> 0:45:33.420 was reading through this and I'm like, whoa, um. This. Behold, 0:45:33.420 --> 0:45:35.339 I stand at your heart's door and knock. This is 0:45:35.340 --> 0:45:38.259 written to people who are in Christ Jesus. Is it 0:45:38.260 --> 0:45:42.500 possible to get off the path? Oh, boy. It really is. 0:45:42.940 --> 0:45:46.860 And I want us to understand something here that that 0:45:46.860 --> 0:45:49.940 this journey of faith that we have, there's going to 0:45:49.940 --> 0:45:52.859 be a lot of things, three primary things that are 0:45:52.860 --> 0:45:55.299 going to be a direct assault on our faith, on 0:45:55.300 --> 0:45:58.819 this path less traveled. Thomas Aquinas codified it. You might 0:45:58.860 --> 0:46:01.100 have heard of the world, the flesh and the devil. 0:46:01.500 --> 0:46:04.420 And he he codified that in a beautiful way many, 0:46:04.420 --> 0:46:07.779 many years ago. And it's true. The world is the 0:46:07.780 --> 0:46:10.980 systems that we live in. And they're constantly screaming at us, 0:46:11.219 --> 0:46:13.500 you know, go my way. Let's go this way. Right. 0:46:13.580 --> 0:46:14.140 I mean. 0:46:14.180 --> 0:46:14.580 I mean. 0:46:14.620 --> 0:46:16.700 It's it's constant. 0:46:16.700 --> 0:46:20.240 With advertising and stuff like that. I mean, commercials, TV shows, 0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:23.520 all that stuff. It's just you really can't turn it off, 0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:27.480 you know, unless you're very, very intentional and very, very 0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:32.400 aware because it's just so subliminal that it comes about 0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:35.120 you just while you're living everyday life. It's hard to avoid. 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:37.320 Yeah. I mean, we're called to be in the world, 0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:39.680 but not of the world. And what that requires is 0:46:39.680 --> 0:46:42.400 to be able to sort out what is coming from 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:44.640 the world, but is not of God. 0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:45.160 Absolutely. 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.200 And that's that's a bit of a dance there. So 0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:51.680 the world, the flesh, the flesh is the Greek word sarx. 0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.840 All it means is that all that we are apart 0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.359 from God. And boy, I got one on my heart 0:46:57.360 --> 0:46:59.920 right now. I want you to respond to somebody in 0:46:59.920 --> 0:47:03.240 just a moment. There's a lot of you that are. 0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:09.480 That the. Because the sarx is everything we are apart 0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:11.439 from the Spirit of God. There's a lot of you 0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:17.560 that are your you are hampered by thoughts that you 0:47:17.700 --> 0:47:22.779 need to shake yourself free from. And these are the memories. 0:47:22.780 --> 0:47:27.300 The tapes. Use tapes. The digitized messages that you hear 0:47:27.300 --> 0:47:31.620 from way back and that were just ingrained in you. 0:47:31.660 --> 0:47:34.460 You're a loser. You're never going to make it and 0:47:34.900 --> 0:47:37.380 super die. Those are messages you heard, sister. 0:47:37.700 --> 0:47:41.580 Messages I heard and lived in and still can get 0:47:41.580 --> 0:47:44.020 triggered by him. I mean, they're there. And of course, 0:47:44.020 --> 0:47:46.900 it's that renewing of your mind. But you really, it's not. 0:47:46.940 --> 0:47:49.620 It's not even peeling back the paper. It's kind of 0:47:49.660 --> 0:47:52.739 taking a chisel as well, because they can be so ingrained, 0:47:52.780 --> 0:47:55.660 like you said. And you're talking about this Heavenly Father 0:47:55.660 --> 0:47:57.620 with some of these things that are going through your 0:47:57.620 --> 0:48:01.260 head in these thoughts. It can be very hard. I mean, 0:48:01.300 --> 0:48:03.620 I was there, I admit it, it was very hard 0:48:03.620 --> 0:48:06.380 to realize and to understand and even give God a 0:48:06.380 --> 0:48:09.220 chance going, how can he be so loving? We're comparing 0:48:09.219 --> 0:48:12.780 him to an earthly father. I have no example of that. 0:48:13.100 --> 0:48:15.660 And it took a lot to get through that and 0:48:15.660 --> 0:48:20.550 through scripture, through prayer, through the Holy Spirit to understand 0:48:20.550 --> 0:48:24.509 that no, that is, that is not truth. God is truth. 0:48:24.870 --> 0:48:27.589 The scriptures truth. The word is truth. And that's what 0:48:27.590 --> 0:48:29.070 you need to fill your mind with. 0:48:29.190 --> 0:48:31.830 Yeah. And it's an ongoing battle, right? I mean, come on. 0:48:31.870 --> 0:48:32.469 Yeah. 0:48:32.510 --> 0:48:35.350 And and it's it's never one and done. 0:48:35.390 --> 0:48:36.029 No. I mean. 0:48:36.030 --> 0:48:39.670 Those voices from the past, they're going to be echoing, man. 0:48:39.710 --> 0:48:41.070 I mean, they echo. 0:48:41.110 --> 0:48:43.509 They do that. Why, why why do they do that? 0:48:43.510 --> 0:48:45.149 And they can just kind of pop up to you 0:48:45.150 --> 0:48:47.750 think you're good, you're walking along, you succeeded, and. 0:48:47.950 --> 0:48:48.910 Wham, there it is. 0:48:49.310 --> 0:48:49.709 I'm back. 0:48:49.710 --> 0:48:50.390 Speed bump. 0:48:50.910 --> 0:48:53.310 And you know, this is how insidious it can be. 0:48:54.030 --> 0:48:56.310 We can be sitting here talking on a radio show 0:48:56.310 --> 0:48:57.989 or when we go to a song, and I could 0:48:57.989 --> 0:49:01.870 say something to somebody, and it's not even necessarily a 0:49:01.870 --> 0:49:04.710 reckless word, but there's words that are spoken. Bang! It 0:49:04.710 --> 0:49:05.590 takes you to a place. 0:49:05.630 --> 0:49:06.230 Absolutely. 0:49:06.270 --> 0:49:06.550 Yeah. 0:49:06.590 --> 0:49:09.509 I have a couple worship songs. When I listen to them, 0:49:09.510 --> 0:49:13.310 it takes me to a bad place. Isn't that weird? No. 0:49:13.350 --> 0:49:14.030 I'm serious. 0:49:14.070 --> 0:49:15.550 Because why trauma you experienced. 0:49:15.550 --> 0:49:17.330 Experience because of some some church. 0:49:17.330 --> 0:49:18.410 Hurt?
