Hi there and welcome to author conversations, I'm Chris Dabbs and today is going to be a
2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,040
really good one I think, so stay tuned.
3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:12,320
I've got Lidi Lee Roberts with me who was born and raised in Texas.
4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,400
She's been a Christian now since she was about eight years old, but I think quite most
5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,640
of us is not really always acted like one, okay?
6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,560
But Jesus came into her life in a mighty and unexpected way.
7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,960
He allowed her, now listen, right?
8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,040
She allowed her to take a picture of himself in the clouds from the mount of olives.
9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,600
Well her life has changed forever since then as you can imagine and it's her hope that
10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:46,000
after seeing the picture and reading this book that your life will be changed too.
11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,760
So living in an excited expectation and anticipation and hope like never before with faith
12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,760
exponentially not a multiplied which we think we could all do with.
13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,120
This is her first book and it's divinely inspired.
14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,640
Jesus took her on location to notoh Sicily or notoh Sicily, I've got to say it in an Italian
15
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,640
way, right?
16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,520
This is her first book and is divinely inspired.
17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Jesus took her on location to motoh Sicily for uninterrupted communion with the Holy Spirit
18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,800
and he is knocking at the door and wants to communicate with you face to face.
19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:32,160
So after that massive build up, literally, hello, how are you today?
20
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,400
I hope I can live up to all that.
21
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,240
I'm great, I'm really good, thank you.
22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400
You'll be fine, no, don't you worry about it.
23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920
Okay, well let's get into it, shall we?
24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,720
And let's start talking about your book, "Quit Line to Children" to my children, right?
25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,320
Now that sounds really interesting, you know, in terms of a title and things.
26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:01,680
First of all, tell me about the title, what was that come from?
27
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,800
So "Quit Line to my children", I had some people ask me, "Do you have children?
28
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Is that your children?"
29
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,960
And I'm like, "No, that is God's children."
30
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:20,000
And I believe that there's a lot of lies in this world that are fit forth and not so few
31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,520
of them by religion even.
32
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,480
You know, I don't think it's intentional.
33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,920
I think that, you know, through religion, being going to church is a wonderful thing, but
34
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:41,720
a lot of times it inspires fear and it inspires people to turn away from the church.
35
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,280
And God is love, His first two commandments and what He hung everything else on.
36
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Was love the Lord that God, with all your heart and soul in mind, and love each other as
37
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,360
yourself.
38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:03,120
And so I think we get away from that in particular in judgment.
39
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,880
I don't think we understand sin at all.
40
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:16,120
I think, you know, we think of the sins as like, "Do not murder, do not steal, which yes,
41
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:22,440
those are commandments, but I think in God's reality, sin is sin."
42
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,920
If you're not loving your neighbor as yourself, you're in sin.
43
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:33,880
If you're not, if your whole heart isn't turned to God, that's in sin.
44
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,720
So I don't think we're telling the whole story and I don't think we're telling how easy
45
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,360
and simple it is.
46
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,960
It literally is just to turn your whole heart to God.
47
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:53,800
That is what He wants and that is His love and His hope and how He designed us.
48
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,800
That's amazing.
49
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,520
I love the way you put that actually.
50
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,040
It's really interesting.
51
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,840
I can see going back to what you said about how the church sometimes can put people off
52
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:13,960
becoming church governors or perhaps being able to be as faithful as they want to be.
53
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,400
I think that's the thing, isn't it?
54
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,040
Is that what you're saying then?
55
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Really putting your whole heart towards Him, is it what?
56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Why is that?
57
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,760
I think this is the thing is what I agree with you with what you're saying about how we
58
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,240
think about the commandments and then we don't realize that sins are pretty much all the
59
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,600
time and we're working towards being sinless.
60
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,080
I mean, that never kind of happens, does it?
61
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,680
That's what we always have to sort of absorb ourselves or things.
62
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Yeah, I'm not an expert.
63
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,880
You must know far more about this, though, I do.
64
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,720
I don't think it's even that.
65
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,800
I mean, I think that's part of the misunderstanding is that, you know, and that drives people
66
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,800
away.
67
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,800
I think I can never be good enough.
68
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,400
I can never do anything.
69
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:13,080
You know, I mean, I think, but it really is as simple as just turning, turning, just think
70
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:20,920
about turning your looking up and saying, Lord, just make me, make me pleasing to you and
71
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:28,280
just saying that in itself is good enough.
72
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:34,520
And that I believe, well, I believe in Jesus, I believe in your Son.
73
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Make me pure in Him and pleasing to you.
74
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200
And that is it.
75
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,560
We try to make things so complicated and, you know, I don't think you have to go through
76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,240
every sin that you've ever done since you were born.
77
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,200
I don't believe that.
78
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:59,400
I think that I talk about this in chapter 8, until everything that I've ever done bad
79
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,400
in chapter 8.
80
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,480
A lot of people just go to that chapter to read all the whole of this.
81
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240
I see it's chapter 18, not eight.
82
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Yeah, exactly.
83
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:18,200
But how he brings sin up to you, your sins up to you, which he will do.
84
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:24,240
And he expects you to say, you're sorry for that, but not in shame, how he's done it with
85
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,240
me.
86
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,960
And I can only assume that's how he works with everybody else.
87
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Because he brings it up in the veil of, and this is why you did it.
88
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,920
I know you did this, but I also understand why you did it.
89
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,920
And it's okay.
90
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,520
And I forgive you.
91
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,640
And you talk about having a weight released.
92
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,080
You know, the devil wants us all to walk around with every sin we've ever done on our
93
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,080
backs.
94
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:03,920
He's the one that is accusing us that is, you know, saying in our psyche that you're bad,
95
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,240
you're perverted, you're, you know, a drug addict, you're an alcoholic, you're what it, he's
96
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040
the one that has all those labels.
97
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,880
God does not have that.
98
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,120
God has nothing but love for us.
99
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,680
You know, that's a really good way to put that as well.
100
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,680
You're doing well here.
101
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,680
I love that.
102
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Okay.
103
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,680
So we, yes.
104
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:32,720
And I actually understand, I think, that, you know, it's not about being regretful, I think,
105
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360
you know, of course, with a sin.
106
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,360
We're infallible, right?
107
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,600
That's the whole, or a, we're, we're fallible.
108
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,600
That's right.
109
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,600
And God is supposed to be infallible, right?
110
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:46,480
So that's the only person that can be, you know, humans, we're not, we're not able to
111
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,480
be.
112
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,080
So I think we've got to understand that.
113
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,520
And I think that, although we don't, that's very true.
114
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,520
No, okay.
115
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,760
In the beginning of the book, then you're talking about a hole in the heart.
116
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,040
I'm not looking here, you know, that, that only God can fill.
117
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Is that what you mean there?
118
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Is that like sort of loneliness or, what do you mean by that concept?
119
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,320
God created us, and this is all scriptural.
120
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,600
God created us for His pleasure.
121
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,680
And He created us to love Him.
122
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Yes, that's how we were created in perfect love with our creator.
123
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,080
And you probably know all those stories of that, but we've turned against Him.
124
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,960
We turned against Him, Adam did in the garden.
125
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,680
And we have, I mean, throughout the Bible, we have made bad choices.
126
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:41,200
You know, we wanted a human king.
127
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,440
We didn't want him as king.
128
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,400
We wanted a human priest.
129
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,400
We didn't want him.
130
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,960
We've rejected him over and over and over again.
131
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:57,440
And He's allowed us, very patiently, like children, to have these things and live out our
132
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:06,480
choices, you know, that ultimately have harmed us and it separated us from God, which is
133
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,480
that hole.
134
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,480
That's not how we, that's not how we were created.
135
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,960
That's not how we were meant to live.
136
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:19,400
And so, you know, in this world, we try to fill that hole up with a lot of things.
137
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Like, you know, you think your marriage is going to make you happy and fulfilled and it
138
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,920
does.
139
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,720
But as we all know, you know, it's a hard road too.
140
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Your children, the same thing.
141
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,080
You think once I have children, I'll be happy.
142
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,360
And man, there are a lot of trouble.
143
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,200
And you have minds of their own.
144
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,400
And you get some of the treatment that we give God, you know, it's the same, it's the
145
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,640
our Heavenly Father.
146
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,760
We treat Him the same as our real Father.
147
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,440
Even jobs, you know, you think, oh gosh, that's going to make everything all right.
148
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,440
And then it does it.
149
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,240
And then all those disappointments kind of add up.
150
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:08,240
And, you know, then the really bad, some people start turning to drugs or alcohol or sex
151
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,560
or, you know, things that make you feel good in the moment.
152
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:18,720
Even your iPhone, your streaming devices, whatever.
153
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,240
I mean, I think sin is anything that draws you away from God.
154
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:32,400
And that is the misunderstanding, you know, man in the devil, there are heat judges, people.
155
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,160
He's the one that judges, oh, you know, that's you're bad.
156
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,680
You're drinking too much.
157
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,800
You're doing this, you're having sex outside of marriage.
158
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,720
I mean, the Lord doesn't like it, but He understands it.
159
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,520
And He understands that your heart is ultimately seeking Him.
160
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:56,280
And Satan is blinding the path to Him with all of these other temptations.
161
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,960
He knows who to blame.
162
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,960
And it's not you.
163
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,560
And you see that this is the same.
164
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:02,560
Exactly.
165
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,400
It's the same.
166
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,400
Right.
167
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,080
So there we are.
168
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:17,040
I mean, you know, I, you know, I think this is the thing, right?
169
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:24,840
And I think you have come to realize all of this because of your study of scripture, I think,
170
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,840
is that right?
171
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Is that why you sort of, you know, you suggest to people to study scripture so that they
172
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,200
can also understand this?
173
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:43,080
It's not only that, I mean, it, yes, that is scripture, but with the Holy Spirit.
174
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:50,440
I think a lot of people, and I did that when I was young, because I went to Baptist high
175
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,440
school.
176
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,920
I went to Baptist college and I studied, but at that point, it was more intellectual, you
177
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:02,720
know, I was memorizing things and, you know, more being tested on, do I know the history
178
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,000
and blah, blah, blah.
179
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:17,840
I think my understanding now, after developing my relationship with the Holy Spirit is that
180
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:24,480
the Bible is meant as a lifelong kind of scavenger hunt.
181
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,120
And you can't do it.
182
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,960
You can't understand it without having the Holy Spirit with you.
183
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,200
So I mean, I will, I'm sitting here, I have Romans 8 in front of me.
184
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480
I was nervous, so I was reading that.
185
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,760
It's one of my favorite chapters of the Bible.
186
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,240
And I read, I read it completely different today.
187
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:55,080
Like, and that's what I'm talking about, the Holy Spirit will open your mind slowly, ever
188
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,080
so slowly.
189
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,680
And throughout your whole life, you'll, you know, you'll have favorite things and then he'll
190
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:04,400
just, oh, I add little bits at a time.
191
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,600
And it's a beautiful, beautiful relationship with your God.
192
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360
This is his love letter to you.
193
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:22,720
I mean, you shouldn't think of it as a burden to memorize or, you know, whatever, to a burden.
194
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,680
It is, it is a conversation.
195
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:34,280
It's how he teaches you and it's how you learn the heart of God, which is what I've discovered.
196
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Yeah.
197
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,280
So I guess.
198
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,280
Yeah.
199
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520
I think that's the whole point.
200
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:47,040
And that's why in this, I encourage everybody to do it for themselves because there's a
201
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,880
lot of, I think the devil works through everything in this life.
202
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,120
He works through politics for sure.
203
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,360
Everybody can see that.
204
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,760
I think, you know, he's, he's the author of confusion, right?
205
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,760
In this world, in general, is confused right now.
206
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,600
And even in church, there's confusion over what to believe and what had, you know, what
207
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,600
this, this doctor in that doctor, it's just about God's love.
208
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Just keep it simple.
209
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:25,520
And as long as you are reading yourself and you have that relationship with Christ, I
210
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,800
mean, you'll, you'll, you will discern and you will know the difference when people are
211
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,720
speaking truth and when they're not.
212
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,560
Because there's a lot of who looks out there.
213
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Yeah.
214
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Yeah.
215
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Exactly.
216
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,200
Well, I think this is the thing, isn't it, right?
217
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,160
So you were reading Romans 8 before our meeting, right?
218
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,000
So before our chat, and that helped you to overcome, because you felt, you felt, well, not
219
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,480
so lonely, I guess, right?
220
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,200
In the thing, because you were in, in this, you know, context.
221
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,240
And again, yeah, I, again, I'm, I'm seedless more and more.
222
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,240
The more people I talk to, in order for conversations, a lot of people talk about the Holy
223
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Spirit and, you know, and being a very big guiding person, you know, to us, which is amazing.
224
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,320
And then of course, if you are reading scripture, you're not doing it because it's a task.
225
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,160
You're not doing it because it's homework, as you said, right?
226
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,160
You're not a college.
227
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,160
You're not tested.
228
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,160
Yeah.
229
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,840
You're doing it for your own, well, because you enjoy it, right?
230
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Mm-hmm.
231
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Well, I think it's, I think it's life-giving.
232
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,760
I think it's, it's renewal.
233
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,560
It is, it's, it makes you come alive.
234
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Yeah, it's no like reading Harry Potter, right?
235
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,680
Certainly.
236
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680
You know, at the end of the day, it's making use of you.
237
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,680
Exactly.
238
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,680
Exactly.
239
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,680
Exactly.
240
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:02,920
I mean, understanding the love that your creator has for you is life-giving and understanding
241
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,080
the forgiveness that is there.
242
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:11,240
And sometimes even that can become tried in the way that people say that, you know?
243
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:19,320
I think, because some people, I think that's also because of how we judge each other, right?
244
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,720
And they believe that their sins would never be forgiven or that they would have to go
245
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,520
before God and say all this stuff that I did.
246
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Harry knows what you did.
247
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,520
And I guarantee you, after thousands of years, you're not going to surprise him with a
248
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,520
sin that he doesn't know.
249
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,400
I don't care anymore.
250
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,400
Yeah.
251
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Exactly.
252
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,400
Exactly.
253
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,400
Oh, I'm glad.
254
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Yeah.
255
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Yeah.
256
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Yeah.
257
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,040
And I think that, you know, that sort of guidance and that help from the Holy Spirit and for
258
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,640
God as well, you know, is an interesting thing.
259
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040
As you say in this, in today's world, right?
260
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,800
You know, we have got so many things going on that, you know, it's, it's very easy to become
261
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,080
overwhelmed, isn't it, right now?
262
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,480
And, you know, it is.
263
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,480
It is.
264
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,480
It is.
265
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,440
So how can people who perhaps haven't done before, right?
266
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,120
Who are feeling overwhelmed right now and there must be lots of them?
267
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:16,880
How can they make that first step then towards God and towards the Holy Spirit and towards
268
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:23,160
everything, you know, feeling that sort of solace and, and I don't know, accompaniment,
269
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,400
you know, help, you know, just that better feeling.
270
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,400
What's their first step?
271
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,480
So they should take to reconnect perhaps with God.
272
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,480
Right.
273
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Well, I think, you know, I think sometimes this is where Christians intimidate non-Christians
274
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,400
because they get up and say these massive prayers.
275
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,280
Oh, you know, angels come fly here and take this and do this and blah, blah, blah, blah.
276
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:54,600
You know, and that's great, but you alone in your room.
277
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,400
I mean, if you want to get underneath your shore, but I mean, just laying in bed, you just
278
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Lord, I can't take what's going on anymore and I've never, I've never talked to you.
279
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,480
I don't even know that I believe in you, but will you please just give me some kind of
280
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,040
sign and maybe give me a little faith like, like these people that I see because I, I
281
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,520
want to believe and I want to know you.
282
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:30,680
And I, that he will open your eyes to miracles that have always been around you.
283
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:38,040
It's, it's really a matter of perspective, but you just have to take a tiny step and that's
284
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,040
enough.
285
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,040
That prayer right there.
286
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,440
If you want to copy that, that is enough.
287
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,320
That's it.
288
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,280
If you want to read the battle, do it, but you know what?
289
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,520
That is enough.
290
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:56,360
And then slowly keep talking to him, slowly he'll, he'll show you where he wants you to
291
00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:03,360
re-first and what, you know, I, you know, I don't have children, but I have a lot of nieces
292
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,360
and nephews.
293
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:09,840
And you talk to your children, you don't talk to all your children the same.
294
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,400
You talk to, you talk to them differently because you know their personalities and everything
295
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,400
else.
296
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,400
God is the same way.
297
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:22,160
He knows to out of how to talk to each of our hearts because He created us.
298
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:30,160
And so it's wonderful and, and just reach out to him, he's there.
299
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,560
He's always there.
300
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,560
He's dying.
301
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,560
He's been chasing each of us.
302
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040
He's been chasing all of us for thousands and thousands of years.
303
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,880
His whole, his will is for all to come to repentance.
304
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,120
They probably won't.
305
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:50,760
And that's another word that is misused repentance that's translated in the Bible as
306
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,560
"tenshiva" in, in the Jewish in Hebrew.
307
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:00,800
And it, it means like I was talking about it, just to turn yourself to him, not to go through
308
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,800
your list of sins.
309
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,640
I don't, I mean, whatever.
310
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,120
Turn yourself to him.
311
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:07,440
That's it.
312
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,400
Come out of this world and turn towards me.
313
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,320
So that's a great first step, you know, don't really, you know, it doesn't have to be
314
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,320
complicated, like you say.
315
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Not some massive, long, you know, written down institutional prayer.
316
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,160
Just start, start the conversation, right?
317
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,160
Wow.
318
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Yeah.
319
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,160
Yeah.
320
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,160
Yeah.
321
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,160
So I'll see, you know, like, it's just amazing listening to you.
322
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,560
You sound very wise and you don't look old enough to be wise, to be fair.
323
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,560
I'm very old.
324
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,560
I'm very old.
325
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,560
This is, this is the Jesus happy base.
326
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,560
This is what I think I'm going to do.
327
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,560
I know that.
328
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,560
I know that.
329
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,560
Yeah.
330
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040
So, yeah, that's very right, I think.
331
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,080
And, you know, I think the reader is looking to read a book that that's friendly, that's written
332
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:59,400
by a wise person that hasn't got a big agenda, you know, that is just looking to do this.
333
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,760
It is, you know, so refreshing to be fair in the, especially in this world.
334
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,520
So, readers, make sure that you take a look at this.
335
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,560
So as far as readers are concerned, okay?
336
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,320
If there was one message that your readers could take away from reading your book, what do
337
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,520
you think that that should be in relation to their relationship with Christ?
338
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,360
I guess you've probably already said it.
339
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,960
I mean, what do you think they should be thinking about?
340
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,560
We hope that they know.
341
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:36,120
I think just looking internally, you know, and understanding, you know, I have always been
342
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,120
missing something.
343
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:44,720
I mean, if you, here's another thing, one of the hardest things to do in this world, I think,
344
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,880
is to sit in silence.
345
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,840
We are, we're kind of terrified of it.
346
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:58,400
We either have music on, we've got TV on, we're, I mean, it is rare that you just sit there
347
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,600
with yourself.
348
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:06,400
It is extremely uncomfortable the first few times that you do it.
349
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:13,240
But I think if you do that and seek the Lord, I think you'd be shocked at what you find.
350
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,200
And like I said, I'm not going to tell you what you find because it's different for everybody,
351
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,840
but you'll find it.
352
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,080
I promise that.
353
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,920
And I think, you know, looking at the Bible as His level, as His level, as His level, language,
354
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:35,920
is a beautiful thing and a beautiful way to have, begin the relationship of your life,
355
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:43,000
begin the relationship that you were meant for, and that you can take, you know, forever,
356
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,400
that you will have forever.
357
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,120
Nothing in this life is forever, but that is, and that is true.
358
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:55,800
And He will open your eyes slowly to the things around you that are just amazing.
359
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:02,760
The other thing, and I know it's kind of, it's crazy to talk about, but I, the Lord moved
360
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:12,040
me to write about it is the Antichrist, and I know that that scares the, the Jesus out of
361
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:24,120
people because of movies and stuff, how they portrayed everything and the Antichrist in
362
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,480
the Bible literally means instead of Christ.
363
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080
He's not coming as, as some big battle.
364
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,360
He is literally Satan disguised as Jesus.
365
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:42,640
And people that have not read or haven't prayed about it, I think God will give that to them
366
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,440
too, will be deceived.
367
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,920
And I, you know, He's not coming to kill a bunch of people.
368
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,160
He's coming to put a chicken in every pot.
369
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,680
Everybody, you know, everybody, I'll make everybody rich.
370
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,080
You don't have to work anymore.
371
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,560
You don't have to do anything.
372
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,040
Just worship me.
373
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080
I'm here.
374
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,440
And it is going to be extremely deceiving.
375
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,760
And I truly believe that he will come saying that he's the rapture too.
376
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,480
That's another part of the quit line to my children.
377
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:25,280
I don't think the churches that are preaching that are doing that maliciously or on purpose,
378
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720
trying to deceive people.
379
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,720
But it is.
380
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320
It is a terrible deception that is coming.
381
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,920
The word rapture is nowhere in the Bible that came from a woman in the 1830s that had a
382
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,920
vision.
383
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:44,600
Even she herself said that it was evil, felt evil when she had it.
384
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:50,840
The scripture that's most linked to that is second Thessalonians and it talks about meeting
385
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
God in the clouds and everything.
386
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,000
But all this scripture says he is coming here.
387
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,360
He is establishing his kingdom here.
388
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:06,960
And those clouds that he's coming on when Moses finished the tabernacle, it was filled with
389
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:07,960
the cloud.
390
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,960
And you know what that cloud was?
391
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,560
It was the glory of God.
392
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:17,600
So it's going to be the glory of God here on earth, not us going to meet Him in the clouds
393
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,600
too.
394
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:25,200
And if you think about it too, like God wouldn't, He wouldn't do that to us.
395
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,440
He wouldn't just take a few people up there.
396
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,440
His best Christians.
397
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,680
He's just going to take a few of them and leave them.
398
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:38,240
Everybody else, our brothers and sisters down there with no help, that doesn't make sense.
399
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,200
He doesn't operate like that.
400
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,440
That is terrible.
401
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,880
And I wouldn't believe in a God that would do that.
402
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,040
That's awful.
403
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,440
And I wouldn't do that as much as I love my brothers and sisters.
404
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,080
I want to be here to warn them.
405
00:25:53,080 --> 00:26:01,120
I want to be here to witness against that guy because he's leading people away and good people.
406
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:07,800
They're really good people in the church that will go, oh my gosh, I've been unknowingly
407
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,760
worshipping Satan that looked like Jesus.
408
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,000
I had no idea.
409
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,600
And then it says they will pray for the mountains to fall on because they'll be so embarrassed.
410
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:26,280
So that's nothing to be scared of, nothing to be, it's just to know.
411
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,680
It's just to have that knowledge, you know.
412
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:35,520
And when you know what is going to happen, when you know the plan of attack, when we know
413
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,960
everything, then you're not afraid.
414
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,040
There's nothing to be afraid of.
415
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:46,760
As a matter of fact, Jesus before He left gave us power over serpents and scorpions.
416
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,760
And He also gave us power over the power of the enemy.
417
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:58,000
So it's again, nothing to be afraid of, but something we need to know.
418
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Well, again, yeah.
419
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,640
Can you stop being wise?
420
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,640
No, don't.
421
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,720
But I mean, you know, everything you're right.
422
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,720
Absolutely.
423
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:15,400
I think the rancher kind of, you know, thing, as it were, is interesting again because, yeah,
424
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,760
there are churches out there who put a specific number on that sort of thing about who's
425
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,280
going to be saved and reasons why and all of that sort of thing.
426
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,840
And that's always made me think, like you, you know, hey, hang on a second, that's not
427
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,680
really kind of nice.
428
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,560
But I mean, you know, they have their own deal, they, whatever.
429
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,720
But I think it's, yeah, I get what you're saying.
430
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,920
I get what you're saying.
431
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,200
So you mentioned the antiprised and what you're saying is it's not that safe and dire
432
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,480
again, but it's anyone, or we can be safe, I guess, it can be anything that takes you away from
433
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Christ.
434
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Is that what you meant?
435
00:27:52,480 --> 00:28:00,120
No, the antiprised is a person that will come pretending to be Christ.
436
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,760
He hasn't, he hasn't gotten here yet.
437
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,800
A lot of people are like, oh, Trump's the antiprised or whoever.
438
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,160
I mean, no, this will be a show.
439
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,680
He will be supernatural because it will be safe in himself.
440
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,440
He will be supernatural and he will look like Christ and people will be deceived.
441
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,680
All of that is biblical, all of it.
442
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:34,320
So again, nothing to be afraid of just for knowledge and for preparation and, you know,
443
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:41,120
tell your friends and family and, you know, because it's going to be, I don't think that,
444
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,880
I don't think the people that are deceived, that God is going to zap them.
445
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,760
Like, I got, you know, you fell for the wrong guy, so I'm going to get you.
446
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:59,840
I think it's more their shame because they'll, they, they will just feel ashamed that they
447
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:06,320
did not know, that they did not read the Bible, that they followed the things that were
448
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:13,440
preached in some churches and not, not backed up scripturally, you know.
449
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,440
It's a sad thing.
450
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280
It is a sad thing.
451
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:22,480
But I mean, God is a loving God, he's not, you know, and it even, it did, the Bible talks
452
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:30,600
about God blinding, blinding some people on purpose because if they knew the truth, then
453
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:36,000
they would be responsible for the truth.
454
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,760
They would be held up to that standard, but he knew that some of them couldn't handle it,
455
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,680
so they're purposely blinded until Jesus comes.
456
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:50,680
So he, he doesn't, he needs our, he doesn't need our help.
457
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:56,720
He has, he knows exactly who he's touching, where he's putting everything and it's perfect.
458
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,720
So.
459
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,520
Yeah, basically, we put a bear with it, right?
460
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,320
And we got to, we have to deal with, with ourselves and don't worry about the larger picture
461
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,840
or plan or anything like that.
462
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,720
It's just deal with ourselves and, and work the way they, you think, you think so.
463
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:19,640
And, and, and witness, you know, the, the great commission is to go out and tell the world
464
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160
of Jesus and all that.
465
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:29,480
And I believe that, but I think, you know, we try to make it grander than, than, individually,
466
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,480
than it is.
467
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:37,240
That can be as much as just like you and I talking, like my, my, talking to your kids or your
468
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,200
mother or your neighbor or whatever.
469
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:46,360
And I truly believe God puts people in front of you that, that he wants you to talk to,
470
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,400
to that level every, every day.
471
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:55,440
Like it, it, yeah, you don't have to seek them out and worry about how am I going to do
472
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,440
this and I'm going to have a podcast.
473
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440
I'm not going to, you know, whatever.
474
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,200
I mean, he knows how he's doing it.
475
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,880
He need to relax, he just need to relax in his love and let it flow.
476
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,880
He's got it.
477
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,880
Exactly.
478
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,880
There is this.
479
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,880
Literally.
480
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Well, let's talk about that because it, obviously, we're running out of time now.
481
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,360
I'm fortunate, they, which is always the way, you know, I get into this big conversation
482
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,760
and then we run out of time.
483
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,160
So, I'm really, it's such a shame.
484
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:29,160
But can you tell us then about, well, basically the photograph, what can you tell us about
485
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,400
that without giving away, you know, everything, you know, in the book and that and this.
486
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,200
It sounds amazing.
487
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,040
So I was in Jerusalem.
488
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:48,800
I went on a trip with CBN with the 700 Club and I stayed in Jerusalem afterwards and I
489
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,120
kept trying to go up to the temple mount.
490
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:59,160
And the dome of the rock that is on the temple mount is a Muslim now that's also where Solomon's
491
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,880
temple was.
492
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,440
It's Mount Moriah.
493
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
There's a lot of history on that temple mount.
494
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,440
So every time I went up there, they were closed for prayers.
495
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,600
They were having prayers and they make a big deal that you're not allowed to pray up there.
496
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,400
And so I had a journal with me that had a little cross on it.
497
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,720
I went through this security bank as finally it was open like the third or fourth time that
498
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,520
I went up there and the guy grabbed it and he said, you can't take this up there.
499
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,520
And I said, it's not a Bible.
500
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,440
It's just my journal.
501
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,560
And he looked through it and kind of threw it back at me and I was like, oh my gosh.
502
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:44,400
So I go up there and I felt the Lord telling me to go say the Lord's Prayer.
503
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,780
So I went over across from the Mount of Allah's on the temple mount and I said the Lord's
504
00:32:49,780 --> 00:32:55,260
Prayer and I filmed myself even doing it.
505
00:32:55,260 --> 00:33:03,140
And I don't know if you know the words prayer, but it's our Father who art in heaven.
506
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,640
Howl would be thy name?
507
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,580
Thy kingdom come.
508
00:33:07,580 --> 00:33:09,180
Thy kingdom come here.
509
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:14,260
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
510
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:19,500
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
511
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,980
against us and lead us not into temptation.
512
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:24,820
The deliverers from evil.
513
00:33:24,820 --> 00:33:30,060
Perthine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
514
00:33:30,060 --> 00:33:32,500
So I did that.
515
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:33,860
I left there.
516
00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:39,740
I went to the tomb where they say the tomb was they're not sure if it's it or not.
517
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:43,140
And of course he wasn't there.
518
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:50,980
I wanted to go to a dominoes pleb it which is a church.
519
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:59,860
It's shaped like a tear drop on the Mount of Allah's and it is a tribute to where he prayed
520
00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:03,860
and wept for us in wept for Jerusalem.
521
00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:10,820
And so I went up there and this man comes behind me and he says do you want some coffee?
522
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,820
And I was like what?
523
00:34:12,820 --> 00:34:16,580
Because it is like a hundred degrees and I've just come up the Mount of Allah's and I'm just
524
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:17,580
sweaty.
525
00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:19,300
And I was like no thanks.
526
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,620
You know, and he offered me some water.
527
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:26,660
And I said no, I'm I just want to go in this church.
528
00:34:26,660 --> 00:34:32,980
And I'm probably going over way too long but I just went and prayed for a little bit and
529
00:34:32,980 --> 00:34:40,780
then he I the church the people came out and so then I went in there and he came in
530
00:34:40,780 --> 00:34:46,260
there and I mean we talked and took pictures and then he walked me around the grounds and
531
00:34:46,260 --> 00:34:50,100
just started teaching me like showing me trees.
532
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:55,540
The first one was a tree that had these thorns and they were like this long and he's
533
00:34:55,540 --> 00:34:58,140
like that's the Spina Christa.
534
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:02,620
That's what the tree was made of that was Christ thorns.
535
00:35:02,620 --> 00:35:07,940
We think of the thorns as like this big they were this big and they were like nails.
536
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:15,220
I mean crazy and then he took me to a locust tree and showed me that and he picked off a
537
00:35:15,220 --> 00:35:19,740
thing and he opened the beams inside and he goes these are carrots.
538
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:24,740
This is how they used to weigh you know like the gold and stuff like that.
539
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:33,580
And I mean at the time I was just it didn't even occur to me that this is a major tourist
540
00:35:33,580 --> 00:35:39,900
place and it's just me and him walking around for 45 minutes.
541
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:41,900
Nobody else.
542
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:51,660
His name was David and you know we spent a long time together he gave me a big hug and
543
00:35:51,660 --> 00:36:00,340
I walked out and I looked over and up into the sky and it looked at the time I just thought
544
00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:07,940
the sky looked crazy like the sun it almost looked like a a tomb like a tomb that had a
545
00:36:07,940 --> 00:36:12,100
light behind it but that didn't register to me at the time.
546
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:16,660
So I just I've been taking pictures of the sky the whole time I was there because it was
547
00:36:16,660 --> 00:36:22,340
doing some crazy stuff and I didn't think about it.
548
00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:29,060
I didn't see till two months later I'm looking through my pictures and I'm like that looks
549
00:36:29,060 --> 00:36:36,140
like someone sitting on top of the sun and so I have an online ministry called Pray for
550
00:36:36,140 --> 00:36:41,340
me that's on Facebook so I thought well I'll put it on there maybe somebody you know know
551
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:49,100
something or whatever and so I put it on there and somebody said turn it upside down and
552
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:56,060
I mean it's not it's undeniable you can see the face of Jesus you can see the crown you
553
00:36:56,060 --> 00:37:07,140
can see everything and the sweetest part is I mean besides that Jesus exists for the entire
554
00:37:07,140 --> 00:37:12,860
world to see and I actually have a picture of him I have no idea why he let me do that
555
00:37:12,860 --> 00:37:18,300
but he did and but I think it has to do with that prayer his kingdom come his will be done
556
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:29,380
it it opened somehow something and but he took he put something very personal in that picture
557
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:35,300
he's holding a dog in his arms which is crazy and I had just put I don't have any children
558
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:43,820
so Gigi was like my daughter she was my my kid and she had passed away not two months
559
00:37:43,820 --> 00:37:50,600
before I had to put her down and that was exactly he was holding her exactly how I held her
560
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:59,500
when we had to put her down so I mean he cares about us to that level and even our animals
561
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:10,900
you know I don't know what else to say yeah it's him and he's good to have a look at that
