0:10

show will encourage , inspire and

0:12

0:19

our host , ron Myers . The promoter

0:21

.

0:27

Hello , my friends , it is so good to be

0:29

with you today . Well

0:31

, easter , a lot of celebrations

0:33

going on , and today

0:35

I wanted to do a show

0:37

for the people that

0:39

will not be going to church

0:42

, the people that just really

0:44

don't know much about Easter . Maybe

0:46

they just don't believe in Easter

0:48

and they're

0:50

not going to church . Hey , friends

0:52

, there's nothing wrong with that , because

0:55

you give me an opportunity to

0:58

visit with you for a few minutes and why

1:00

the Easter message is important

1:03

to anybody that

1:05

doesn't go to church or even believe

1:07

in God . Hey , just invest a few minutes

1:09

and either you'll like it , agree

1:12

with it , or tell me to go fly a

1:14

kite . That's fine , I'm

1:16

a big boy , but sometimes , friends

1:18

, I just want to talk to you and

1:21

bring some friends in and let's just

1:23

talk about Easter . Why

1:25

is it important and

1:27

what will I do when I hear

1:30

the Easter message ? You know , some

1:32

of the things that we want to answer in

1:34

today's conversation and

1:36

in the studios is Andrew and

1:38

Paul , and I want to welcome

1:41

y'all to the studios . Y'all

1:43

I'm picking up that Southern little accent

1:45

, since I've been here for many , many years . Why

1:49

is this message important

1:51

today to people that

1:53

have nothing to do with the church

1:55

?

1:56

Well , you know , ron , what's going on in the world

1:58

today . We're living in a day like no

2:00

other day in human history or in American

2:03

history , we could say , at least in my lifetime

2:05

. I'm 54 years old and I've never

2:07

seen America like it is today , where

2:09

America is suffering with such great

2:11

deception . We will say People

2:13

are looking for truth , ron , people are looking

2:16

for answers , people are looking for hope

2:18

, people know that things are wrong

2:20

and they're looking for an answer . And

2:23

all of these we call them seven mountains

2:25

of society have government and family

2:27

and media and arts and entertainment and

2:29

religion and business and education . Those

2:31

are those pillars of society . In all

2:34

those pillars of society , we see that there's

2:36

trouble and people's hearts are really concerned

2:38

. What's going on in the world today ? And

2:41

the greatest message about Easter is

2:43

Easter gives us hope , hope

2:46

that there is a better way , hope

2:48

that there is a God

2:50

in the name of Jesus who

2:52

desires to come into our lives

2:54

and bring us this hope .

2:56

Paul , what's the hope that we have in Jesus

2:58

?

2:59

The hope that we have in Jesus is he

3:01

didn't come to start a religion which most people

3:03

relate anything . You hear Jesus

3:05

and instantly people put up a wall because

3:07

they think religion . But Jesus is

3:10

the furthest person from religion there

3:12

is . So the great hope would be okay

3:14

. Just because you want to develop or you

3:16

even try or entertain a relationship

3:19

with Jesus doesn't mean you're going

3:21

to become a member of some kind of religion

3:23

. It means you're going to become a member of his

3:25

personal inner circle , god's

3:27

family . And so Easter we

3:30

always hear about it as it's the resurrection

3:32

of Jesus . Yes , actually , the main

3:34

focus of Easter is the death

3:37

of Jesus , because if there wouldn't have been a death

3:39

of Jesus , there wouldn't have been a resurrection and

3:41

Jesus came and gave

3:43

his life , wouldn't

3:46

have been a resurrection and Jesus came and gave his life . It's like as if you and I were

3:48

best friends and you were in trouble . Would I really say I'm going to give

3:50

my life for Ron so he gets out of

3:52

trouble ? Nobody would do that

3:54

, but Jesus had to do this . His father

3:57

made him come and become sin

3:59

for us or take our place so we could

4:01

have a relationship with God and become

4:03

part of his family . So the death of

4:05

Jesus was so important . And

4:07

if you've never had any kind of

4:09

acknowledgement of Jesus

4:11

in your life , or God in your life , at

4:13

least realize that Jesus

4:16

was the only one who said I'm

4:18

going to give myself , so hopefully I'll get

4:20

a shot at being a family

4:22

member , or this person will become a family member

4:24

of my family and not a religious

4:27

member . And so Easter is very

4:29

, very focused on Jesus's death

4:31

. Now the resurrection

4:33

took place because Jesus had never

4:36

sinned . He was the only spiritually alive

4:38

human being there was , so

4:40

he didn't belong in the place where dead

4:42

spiritual people go , so he

4:44

couldn't stay there . It would have been a miscarriage

4:46

of justice , so God had

4:48

to get him out of there because he didn't belong

4:50

there . But Jesus went there on purpose . So

4:53

any human who is not spiritually

4:55

alive will go to this place

4:57

called hell . But they don't have to

4:59

stay there if they accept what Jesus

5:02

did for them and that's the whole thing

5:04

of Easter there . If they

5:06

accept what Jesus did for them and that's the whole thing of Easter Jesus did

5:08

something for them so they don't have to go to a place that they will naturally

5:10

go by default because they're spiritually

5:13

dead . But if they just accept

5:15

him taking their place for them , they

5:17

get the gift of his life , which

5:20

is resurrection , life , and that's the whole

5:22

doctrine of Christianity

5:24

we will rise from the dead

5:27

. Jesus rose from the dead because

5:29

he was spiritually alive and

5:31

by choice became spiritually dead

5:33

so he could get the spiritually

5:35

dead to the place of spiritual life

5:37

.

5:38

You know , I appreciate all that

5:40

someone is saying , but listen

5:42

, I do good things . I feed

5:45

the people at the soup kitchen and

5:47

I visit the elderly

5:49

at the nursing home . I do good things , so

5:51

I'm going to be in heaven . I'm doing all the right

5:53

things , so why do I need Jesus

5:56

?

5:56

You probably do those things because perhaps your

5:58

parents taught you to do that or in your

6:00

heart is to do good things , which is great

6:02

. But when Adam and Eve died spiritually

6:05

, they had not had any children yet

6:07

. So when they started having children , everything

6:09

reproduces after itself and

6:11

they reproduced a human

6:14

race that was all spiritually dead . So

6:16

God lost his son , adam . You can

6:18

see it . If you read anywhere in the book of Matthew

6:20

, you'll see that Adam was God's son . God's

6:23

first son died . Oh , I thought

6:25

that Jesus was God's first son . Jesus

6:27

was God's first begotten son

6:29

or son by birth . Adam

6:32

was God's first son by creation

6:34

. So when Adam died spiritually

6:36

and started having children , all

6:39

of the human race was born spiritually

6:41

dead , naturally separated

6:43

from God . So there had to be something take

6:45

place to get man out of the spiritual

6:47

death , and the only way to do that

6:50

was have someone who's spiritually

6:52

alive give their life in

6:54

the place of the spiritually dead . So

6:57

we do good things and our good works won't

6:59

ever get us into spiritual life . Only

7:01

a sacrifice of a spiritually

7:04

alive person would get us into spiritually alive

7:06

. And so it's great to do the good things

7:08

, but if you leave the earth

7:10

or you leave your body in the

7:13

condition of spiritual death , you will by

7:15

default go to the place where the spiritually

7:17

dead people go , and that's separated

7:19

from God forever . That's the simplicity

7:21

of Easter he gave his life so

7:24

you can become spiritually alive .

7:26

So what you're talking about , ron . You know many people

7:28

are trying within themselves to

7:30

do good works . Like you said , go

7:32

to the soup kitchen . I live a good life

7:34

. I go to work , I pay my taxes

7:36

, I do good , I obey the law

7:39

. You know I was good to my kids . I'm

7:41

kind to my wife . You know

7:43

we give to charity , we give to St Jude

7:45

. We do these things and we try to do these

7:47

things because some way we think

7:49

that our good works are going to gain us entrance

7:51

to heaven . And somehow God's

7:54

got this big logbook in heaven and when

7:56

I get there my good works are going to outweigh

7:58

my bad works . Well , the Bible is

8:00

really true , ron , where it says that we're

8:02

not saved by our good works . Our good works

8:05

will never gain us entrance

8:07

to heaven . What Paul was just talking

8:09

about is how we gain entrance to heaven

8:11

. We gain entrance to heaven for

8:14

one reason , and one reason only . Jesus

8:16

said I am the doorway to heaven . Jesus

8:19

said I'm the way , the truth and

8:21

the life to heaven . If you're going to go

8:23

to heaven , the only way to get into heaven

8:25

is to accept the sacrifice

8:27

of Jesus Christ on the cross . That's

8:30

what Easter is all about Jesus died for the

8:32

sins of the whole world . Probably the most

8:34

famous scripture verse in the whole world is

8:36

John 3 , 16 . Everybody knows

8:38

it , for God so loved the world that he gave his

8:40

only begotten son . That's what it says

8:42

whoever believes in him receives

8:45

eternal life .

8:46

I grew up in a Catholic church

8:49

, going to church every day , because

8:51

I went to a Catholic school and we went there

8:53

on Easter . But I grew up

8:55

religious . I mean , it was just

8:57

a tradition , it was ritual

8:59

. But something happened in

9:01

my late 30s when I decided

9:04

to leave religion and step

9:06

into Christianity . I went from

9:08

a knowledge of Jesus to a relationship

9:11

with Jesus . Someone might be on the fence

9:13

about Jesus , so their question

9:15

might be what will my life be

9:17

like if I give all this

9:19

stuff up that I'm doing and begin

9:22

to follow Jesus ? Will I have

9:24

to join a special group

9:26

and have a secret handshake ? Will

9:28

I have to wear certain things on

9:30

my head ? What's going to happen

9:33

when I take Jesus ?

9:35

Well , I can talk about for me

9:37

. What happened to me was I was in the United States

9:39

Navy Seabees . I grew up like you

9:41

, ron , I grew up Catholic . So I grew up very

9:43

religious . You know , I went to Easter

9:45

and Christmas and did those

9:47

religious things but I never had a relationship

9:50

with Jesus . And when I got into the

9:52

United States Navy Seabees I went on deployment

9:54

. Well , I got in trouble and

9:56

I was arrested for doing some

9:59

things and it wasn't good and I was

10:01

set before a chaplain . They said before you

10:03

make any more decisions , you need some counsel

10:05

. So they set me before a Navy chaplain and

10:08

the Navy chaplain , for the first time in my

10:10

life , talked to me about the law of God . I

10:13

knew the Ten Commandments but I never really

10:15

knew them . And he walked me through the

10:17

Ten Commandments and he asked me what

10:19

are you going to do on the Day of Judgment when you stand

10:21

before God ? And you violated all of his laws

10:23

. And he asked me you know so ? Have

10:26

you ever told a lie ? And I said

10:28

sure . And he said so . That makes you a

10:30

liar . And one of God's commandments is don't lie

10:32

. And he told me what sin was , which

10:34

I never really had a definition of sin . Everybody

10:37

lies . So we tell lies because we

10:39

want to get away with things , but on

10:41

the inside of us we know it's wrong because

10:43

God's wrote his law in our heart . So

10:46

because he wrote his law in my heart

10:48

, I know that I was a liar , even

10:50

though I got away with it . He said God

10:52

knows everything about you , so

10:55

he knows that you're a liar . Well , one of his commandments is don't bear

10:57

false witness , don't tell lies . So on the

10:59

day of judgment , if you stand before God and you've

11:01

broken all of his 10 commandments and

11:03

he took me through all 10 , and I realized I broke

11:05

them all he said what are you going to do ? God's

11:08

judgment is on your life . And because

11:10

of that I realized I don't know . I said

11:12

I don't know what I'm going to do and for the first

11:14

time I really felt the judgment of God

11:16

that , oh , my goodness , if

11:18

the Catholic church is really right and Jesus

11:21

is really who he says he is , then

11:23

there really is a heaven and there really

11:25

is a hell . And how do I get to heaven

11:27

? And I never had

11:29

that because I had religion , but I never had this relationship

11:32

. And then he said I said

11:34

, well , I don't want to go to hell . What do I need to do to get

11:36

saved ? And he gave me a Bible and I read the Gospel

11:38

of John and I came back and I really

11:41

didn't know what to do and I said could you help me ? He

11:43

said you need to turn from your sins , you

11:45

need to repent and ask God to forgive you . At

11:47

that moment I've never done that in my whole

11:50

life , where

12:00

I realized that I had to ask Jesus to forgive me . And

12:02

when I asked Jesus to forgive me and I accepted his sacrifice Lord

12:04

Jesus , I've done wrong , I've violated all your laws . I've

12:07

broken all your commandments . I don't

12:09

live for you at all . I treat you like nothing

12:11

and I ask you to forgive me for doing that . Forgive

12:14

me of my sins and I want to have a relationship

12:16

with you . And when I prayed that simple prayer

12:18

, not even knowing what I was praying

12:21

because the chaplain helped me my whole life changed

12:23

. Wow , because I became it

12:25

wasn't religious anymore .

12:27

Jesus really came and began

12:29

to help and really that

12:31

is the point of this special program

12:33

today with Easter . We

12:35

want them to know that Jesus

12:37

believes in them , believes in them , god

12:40

believes in them , yes , sir , and has

12:42

a plan and a life for

12:44

them . And , paul , if I would

12:46

have known that my life

12:48

with Jesus would take on

12:50

a whole new meaning when I began this

12:52

relationship , maybe I would have done

12:54

it sooner . You know , I don't

12:56

know . God's timing is perfect timing

12:59

. But there are people out there on the fence right

13:01

now that they want something

13:03

different in their life and we

13:05

are telling them that if they take

13:07

Jesus in their heart and accept

13:09

Jesus , they become a new creation

13:11

, their sins are forgiven and

13:14

it's like they have a clean slate . Are

13:16

you sure about that , or can ? If

13:18

they say , well , this isn't true , I want my money

13:20

back ?

13:21

If it didn't work , there wouldn't be so many bold Christians

13:24

who love to talk about it . Amen , brother

13:26

. That gives you a good idea right there . And

13:28

you had asked am I going to have

13:30

to get rid of all this and that and then start wearing

13:32

this funny hat and wearing these funny clothes

13:35

if I become a

13:37

Christian ? How about forget becoming a

13:39

Christian and just realize , when

13:41

you ask Jesus to help you and

13:43

you give him access into your life , you

13:45

will never be ashamed that

13:48

you did that . Jesus isn't

13:50

asking you to change your clothes or to change

13:52

what you're doing . All he's asking you is

13:54

give him a shot at your life by calling on

13:56

him . There's a scripture that says whosoever

13:59

shall call upon the name of the Lord , which is Jesus

14:01

, you will never be ashamed . So

14:03

let him be the man who's big enough to back

14:05

up that scripture right there and prove it in

14:07

your own life , just by you saying okay , jesus

14:10

, I'm going to give you a shot at my life , I'm asking you to help

14:12

me . And then the things in your life that

14:14

are destroying your life . He'll start working

14:16

on helping you get rid of those things , whether

14:18

it's any form of addiction or whether it's

14:20

unforgiveness . Give him a shot . He'll start

14:23

working on those to get those out of your life . And

14:25

then the things that he wants in your life . He's

14:27

not going to make you do something drastic . Some

14:29

people maybe he will , because

14:31

they have ability to do that

14:33

, but

14:38

most of us it's tiny , tiny things that he does in our

14:40

lives and his whole purpose is to help us . In fact , the Bible says let

14:42

us therefore come boldly to

14:45

the Lord and ask for his

14:47

help . So he's all about

14:50

helping , not about conforming

14:52

. He's all about you giving him

14:54

an open door , access to transform

14:57

you or change you or make

14:59

you be the person that you will even

15:01

like being and that's so nice

15:03

when you like yourself because

15:06

you realize he's the one who gave me an

15:08

ability to enjoy where

15:10

I am and who I am .

15:12

Are you saying ? Andrew said a few minutes

15:14

ago that a lot of people are concerned

15:17

of what's happening in the world and they're looking

15:19

to politicians for answers ? Are

15:21

you saying that the troubles that we

15:23

have in our life and in this

15:26

world can only be resolved

15:28

by ?

15:28

Jesus . The troubles in the world are

15:30

going to get worse and worse . Probably

15:33

, the problems that come into your life are going to get

15:35

worse and worse and greater and greater . But

15:37

the ability to go through them and

15:39

be content as you go through them is

15:42

so much easier . That's the whole purpose

15:44

of the Lord is to walk us through the things in

15:46

life . In fact , in Psalm 91 , the

15:48

very end of it , it says I will be with him in trouble

15:50

. So there's troubles that are coming . So

15:53

I can't say that when you have a relationship

15:55

with Jesus that your life is going to be trouble-free . So

15:57

I can't say that when you have a relationship with Jesus , that

15:59

your life's going to be trouble-free . No-transcript

16:22

for your help .

16:23

You know and Andrew , you and I were talking before

16:26

we went on the air having some coffee

16:28

is the freedom that

16:30

I received by bringing

16:33

Christ to my heart . I lost all

16:35

the baggage of sin , of fear

16:37

, of doubt . All of a sudden I

16:39

realized that I was free

16:42

. I was free of my past

16:44

. Jesus had a plan for me

16:46

. He wasn't condemning me , he

16:48

wasn't shaming me , he wasn't making

16:51

me feel guilty . I was beginning

16:53

to feel alive , that I finally

16:56

. It was kind of like the caterpillar

16:58

turning into a butterfly . It's

17:00

like a transformation . I didn't know

17:03

what happened , but I sure felt

17:05

good , and I don't think it was

17:07

the pizza I ate the night before

17:09

. I really do believe

17:11

I felt the rebirth

17:13

, the rebirth of my spirit

17:16

.

17:16

Well , the same thing . That's great , ron , because the same

17:18

thing happened to me , because I was religious

17:20

. You know , when I prayed that

17:22

prayer and I asked , the Lord gave like Paul just said

17:24

, gave him a shot at my life I experienced

17:27

for the first time peace with God . You

17:29

know , just like you said , peace it was just

17:31

peace from God . I finally had this peace that I've

17:33

never had before . All my sins were forgiven

17:35

and you felt it . I

17:37

mean , you really felt it . You knew

17:40

after that happened to me it

17:42

wasn't 10 seconds later I knew something

17:44

changed . So I had peace

17:46

with God , all my sins were forgiven and

17:49

then I had a brand new start at life

17:51

. I walked outside and I saw

17:53

things and experienced things and

17:56

filtered things through my own life

17:58

differently . I began to see it because

18:00

my spirit on the inside became born

18:02

again . That's what happened . I came from spiritual

18:05

death to spiritual life and that's what

18:07

Jesus did . He came to live inside of me and

18:09

that's when I experienced all these wonderful

18:12

things that we're talking about and that is

18:14

the point of today's show the

18:16

celebration of Easter .

18:18

Now , maybe some of you have

18:20

given up on religion , maybe

18:22

Christianity , maybe a church

18:24

has hurt you , Maybe somebody has

18:26

lied to you , but Jesus

18:28

wants a personal relationship

18:31

with you . You're never going to be

18:33

in a world where you're going to be around people

18:36

that do all the right things and say

18:38

all the right things . You cannot

18:40

base your theology on what

18:42

people say about you or how

18:44

they treat you . Base it on the fact

18:46

that Jesus is crazy about

18:48

you . He's madly in love with you and

18:51

would love to do life with you . Paul

18:53

, you know we're about out of time , so

18:55

right now it's your turn

18:57

.

19:02

If you find yourself in a place

19:05

where someone's hurt you so you've got

19:07

unforgiveness . Every day it's with you

19:09

. Or you're addicted to something , or you just

19:11

can't stand something else going

19:13

on in your life and you wish you were free of it

19:15

. Jesus isn't a

19:17

religion for you to try . He's the only

19:19

one who will give you a relationship

19:22

that will be the landmark

19:24

thing in your life , that your life

19:26

will definitely start taking a turn

19:29

, to get you free from the things

19:31

that you hate that are going on in your life . So

19:33

today I'm asking you

19:36

and I'm telling you it would be

19:38

the best decision you ever made in your life . You

19:40

turn to Jesus and , whether it's

19:42

Easter or not Easter , thank the Lord that it

19:44

is Easter season and you turn to him

19:46

on your own and you say Jesus , I'm going

19:48

to ask you to help me in my life . I'm

19:51

going to receive you as the one to save me

19:53

and help me , and I'm looking forward to what

19:55

you're going to do in my life . Or I'm just going to check you

19:57

out and see if you're going to do something to change me

19:59

and watch what he'll do . He

20:01

is the only person who is not a

20:03

religious figure . He is a real man

20:05

, the real Savior , and he

20:07

will really step into your life and

20:09

start the process of changing your life

20:12

into what he would like you

20:14

to be , which will be so satisfying

20:16

to you that you will say thank you

20:18

, ron Myers , that I listened to your show

20:20

today . Thank you , jesus , that you did change

20:23

my life . I promise you

20:25

you will be 100%

20:27

so thrilled that you did this . A

20:29

year from now , you will be jumping for joy

20:31

. 10 years from now , you'll be jumping

20:33

for joy . So do it . Do it

20:35

now , jesus . I'm asking you to come

20:37

into my life and help me . You

20:40

will do it .

20:41

Yeah , and that's with our listeners

20:43

here . I know there's real problems out

20:46

there , there's real hurts , but

20:48

all of us experience

20:50

that and the only reason we can share

20:53

Jesus with you is because he

20:55

really did fix us . And you

20:57

know what ? We still have some issues where

20:59

we're fine tuning , but we're

21:02

happy . We're a happy camper , we

21:04

know we have a purpose , we have a destiny

21:06

. We're a happy camper , we know we have a purpose

21:08

, we have a destiny , and when I get up in the morning

21:10

, I anticipate problems that will come my way

21:12

, because I'm not going to be caught

21:14

off guard because I'm doing life with Jesus

21:16

. So I just say , hey , lord , I

21:18

don't know what we're going to come up against today , but

21:21

I want you to know that I love you and

21:23

thank you for leading me today . Encourage

21:25

me and inspire me Sometimes , andrew

21:27

, a person to be encouraged

21:29

and inspired by Jesus and just

21:31

feel his love that's all you need

21:34

, and then the rest begins taking care

21:36

of itself . So you have a church

21:38

. Tell us about your church .

21:39

The name of our church is called the Mission

21:41

Church and Training Center . We're at 21025

21:44

Success Road in Socher , mississippi

21:46

. Our Sunday morning services are at 1030

21:49

. Every Sunday morning . We do have our Sunday morning prayer

21:52

meeting . That goes from 930 to 1010 . We

21:54

have our midweek service on Tuesdays . It's

21:57

a Tuesday night Bible training and we

21:59

do intense Bible studies and we're in a

22:01

whole 10-week series on healing .

22:03

You too . Thank you , I hope this

22:05

has helped . I believe it has . God orchestrates

22:08

these shows and helps somebody

22:10

out there that is struggling in life

22:12

, and they happen to tune in . Paul

22:14

, will you close this in prayer Sure

22:16

.

22:17

Father , I thank you for the opportunity to get

22:19

into the ears of people who are crying out for

22:21

help . They see the direction

22:23

that the world's headed . Maybe they don't see

22:25

that because their life has always been in

22:27

a state of delusion

22:30

or turmoil or misfit

22:32

or dysfunction . So I thank

22:34

you that these words that they heard today are

22:37

guiding them to calling on Jesus

22:39

for his help . No

22:41

matter where they stand , You're there with them right

22:43

now . I ask you to let them feel your presence

22:46

and let them have the understanding

22:48

that you are calling them right , where they are

22:50

as clean as they are , as important

22:53

as they are , as least important as they are , that

22:55

you want them to be in relationship with

22:57

you and I thank you for doing that , Father and

23:00

for them to experience

23:02

what we've experienced when we've said Jesus

23:04

, I need you . So I'm

23:06

asking you to help me , Save

23:09

me . Thank you , Jesus , Amen

23:11

.

23:13

You're listening to Get the Hell Out of

23:16

your Life with your host , ron

23:18

Myers . Real stories , real

23:20

struggles and real hope .

23:24

Have you ever been falsely accused , your

23:27

reputation tainted , your

23:29

good name besmirched , blamed

23:31

for something you just didn't do ? It

23:34

leaves us shaken , angry and frustrated

23:37

. We know we're being unfairly judged

23:39

and don't deserve this treatment . Jesus

23:42

knows all about that . When

23:45

he went to the cross , he was dying

23:47

for sins he had never committed . The

23:49

Bible says he never sinned

23:51

, but God laid on him the iniquities

23:53

or the sins of us all . Jesus

23:56

died for the sins he didn't

23:58

commit so that you and I

24:00

could be forgiven for our sins . Jesus

24:03

needed to do this if we're to be able to

24:05

be forgiven , as we have no other way

24:07

of paying that price for ourselves . If

24:10

you'd like to know how you can begin a personal

24:12

relationship with Jesus Christ , I

24:14

invite you to call or text us

24:16

at 888-NEED-HIM

24:19

. That's 888-NEED-HIM

24:22

.

24:24

Ron will be back in a moment to wrap up

24:26

today's conversation . Did you know

24:28

what Ron did before he discovered his

24:30

destiny ? He was a promoter of secular

24:32

entertainment and , by his own admission

24:34

, he promoted anything he could make a

24:36

buck at . At the pinnacle of his

24:39

success , he walked away from it all

24:41

so he could follow Jesus and discover

24:43

his God-given destiny . That

24:45

was over 20 years ago and he has

24:47

never looked back . Today he's

24:49

an inspirational speaker on a mission

24:52

to empower individuals just like

24:54

you to discover their God-given

24:56

destiny . Ron put his story

24:58

in a novel entitled the Promoter

25:00

and he wants to give you

25:02

a copy .

25:03

My story is proof positive

25:06

that God's plan for you and I

25:08

is greater than all of our mistakes

25:10

.

25:11

Here's what a few readers have said . I

25:13

could not put it down . I cried

25:15

, giggled , gasped and laughed out

25:17

loud . Ron has written a novel

25:20

and self-help book all in one

25:22

the best book I've read in

25:24

a long time . This book is

25:26

a message of hope . To request

25:28

your free copy of Ron's novel the

25:31

Promoter , visit our website at

25:33

thepromoterorg .

25:35

Now back to Ron , I

25:38

told you at the beginning that I am

25:40

just talking to one person

25:42

today , the one that is not

25:44

going to church , the one that's all

25:46

alone , has been left to

25:49

just fend for themselves . It's

25:52

tough . Unbelief

25:54

, doubt , uncertainty

25:57

enters into your head . I know I've

25:59

been that . That's why I am so passionate

26:02

about who Jesus is Not

26:04

church , not a denomination . I

26:06

gave up on that . I don't

26:09

want to listen to man's opinion

26:11

of how I worship Jesus . I

26:13

want to believe what Jesus said the

26:15

finished works of Jesus . My

26:18

life is different . My life is passionate

26:20

, my life is great . I have no guilt

26:22

. I have no condemnation . I

26:24

have an intimate personal relationship

26:27

with Jesus . Save for eternity

26:29

, whether I ever step foot in

26:31

a church or not . Period

26:33

. That is the gospel of Jesus

26:36

Christ . So today it's

26:38

your choice . You're a big man , you're

26:40

a big woman . You can make a decision

26:43

. I would strongly suggest

26:45

, when you really feel like

26:47

you cannot go on , just

26:49

say Jesus , I need

26:52

you , I need to

26:54

see that you're real , I need

26:56

to touch the ham of

26:58

your garment . That's all you need to do

27:00

, friends , and the rest will take off . I

27:02

know it happened to me . It happened to

27:05

the hundreds of people that I've interviewed

27:08

.

27:12
