Needy Out Loud

This is the Truth Network. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff. I don't need anything except this. I don't need this or this.

This ashtray. This paddle game. The ashtray and a paddle game. That's all I need. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show.

I say this calls for action and now. Mm. Needy out loud today on the Christian Car Guy shows. I'm guessing you kind of caught the idea. Is we had Steve Martin's famous The Jerk movie.

In the scene where he didn't need anything, he well, I guess I need this ashtray and this paddleball. You know, it's just a very comical scene, but how many times does that play on our own life, right? And then. Matt Marr's song. Lord, I need you.

It's such a contrast, right? And it's often our lives as we look to that. Oh my goodness, recently, you know, after our car accident, Tammy and I. Um I couldn't drive. I couldn't drive, and I honestly couldn't lift anything.

And you find yourself. Actually, you know, the first couple days. in the hospital I was so needy that I, you know, And therein lies the challenge. How needy do you have to be before you ask for help? And you know, obviously, Steve Martin in this particular situation isn't asking for help.

But I don't know if you've ever considered this, but Jesus really, foundationally, when he was giving us the Beatitudes. Right? The very first one. is blessed are the poor in spirit. Um And the word blessed has such a rich, rich meaning in history and Hebrew, and really is this idea of you're moving forward, you're making progress when you do this.

And which leads to happiness, of course, but and and and joy and all sorts of things. But you're making progress when you are poor. Because when you are really, really poor, you become needy. And when you become needy enough, like cut your arm off needy, then all of a sudden you will actually Ask for help. You'll be needy out loud.

And that that ability to be needy out loud is such a gift. Because actually, until you really become needy... You don't necessarily get to spend the relationship with God that you might want to have, or some of the other things. But the fascinating thing about what Jesus promised right there is when you are, you know, blessed are the poor and needy, as the case may be, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Well, when were you? The question is today on the Christian Car Guy Show, and this being Jesus' labor of love week, you know, Jesus' labor of love, car repair labor for single moms, widows, and families in crisis, you may see that that ministry doesn't work unless some moms. Single moms, widows, or families in crisis admit that they are needy. Like, I really need some help, and they need it bad enough to reach out and ask for it. And then I love this, what Dave Musby taught in a video.

I put it at my website under this title, Needy It Loud, Needy Out Loud. Yeah. is that When you're needy out loud to Jesus, you're really then making progress, right? Not only are you needy, but now you're needy out loud to Jesus. When did that happen?

And then you experienced the kingdom of heaven. 866-348. 78848663487884. We would love to hear your story of when that happened for you. Because, you know, even this recent hospital time, right, that there I was.

And unfortunately, my wife was in a part of the hospital I was. She was on a floor, a different floor than I was.

So I didn't get to see her. Um You know, all sorts of stuff going on with a neck brace and, you know, a broken back, and things that I never thought I'd experience in my life. Oh.

However, because of being that needy and being you know, my kids came. And my daughters actually took turns spending the night. One would spend the night with my wife. The next night they would spend the night with me, whatever. And in its own way, you know, they often talk about things are the best of times or the worst of times.

Well, when you get really, really, really needy, when you're desperately needy and you call on Jesus, you experience that kingdom of heaven. Another experience, you know, is when I got crushed between the Jeep. I know that God keeps teaching me the same lesson over and over again. But, you know, I cried out to him because I was in phenomenal amounts of pain, which happened again in my latest hospital visit here when I had my broken back and I was on the x-ray table. Like, I cried out to Jesus and you get this unbelievable Jesus hug.

Why? Because. You asked for it. You don't have because you don't ask, and then, really, in spite of whatever pain you might be getting, to realize that God loves you and He will show up for you in such a powerful and mighty way, all of a sudden. you experience the kingdom of heaven when you're terribly, terribly needy.

When did that happen for you? Really, really? This is a chance to really encourage a lot of people because they may be needy in all sorts of areas. 866-348-7884-866-34877777. Seven eight eight four.

You know, sometimes it's your health, sometimes it's money. I can tell you in similar stories where I was just desperately needy for money. Which is the case with single moms and God had mercy on me. In relationships, oh my goodness. Or even in your own sin.

Like you have the sin that just keeps happening and happening. At what point in time do you get needy enough really to break down and have an honest conversation with God with what you're struggling with? And then on the other side of that... Oh my goodness.

Some of those repentance with families, friends, relationships. are some of the closest things to heaven I've ever experienced. How about you? 866-348. 7884.

You know, I don't know if you had that experience in ministry. I've had it happen where, man, people just started screaming at each other and and and and wonderful ministry split up. for long periods of time. But through the Holy Spirit and through repentance and people working through their own sin and coming back. Like when you come back and you actually get over something that seemed like it would never be straightened out, but God straightened it out and Jesus straightened it out.

You're like, man. And you sit down with those people and Jesus in the same room and you're having an amazing time. Oh, it's the kingdom of heaven. I I've I've lived it, I've seen it. When have you 866-348-7884?

Of course, we got RK in the garage coming up. And from what he tells me, he's got one shade tree mechanic. Um episode that he wants to talk about and a couple episodes where people wanted him to fix their car over the phone. We thought about that. You know, back it up to the phone so we can hear exactly what it's And so, in a way, they were being needy out loud.

You know, that's kind of the situation.

So. In Matthew, excuse me, in Luke 18, we hear this story, and this is where Dave Busby got this idea of media loud, was these two blind beggars in Matthew 18. And just to read this story, and I'm going to read it with a little emphasis like Busby put on it. He said, then it happened, and this is again Jesus explaining this, then it happened he was coming near Jericho that a blind man sat by the road begging. And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.

So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, and he cried out. See, he was needy out loud, and needy out loud to Jesus. He said, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet, But he cried out all the more. In other words, he said, Shut up, you blind beggar.

And he said, No, you shut up. And he cried out all the more.

Son of David, have mercy on me, right? If you're needy out loud, have you ever noticed every inch of you is screaming at you to shut up? Or other people, if you start. you know, in in this in this setting of whatever, like You know, I'm needy. I need your help.

I need your help. And a lot of people will try to shut you down. And that's part of the Part of the story, and so fascinatingly, Very fascinatingly, we have a caller. On the line it's Mike Zwick himself.

So, Mike, you're on the Christian Car Guy show. I'm guessing you have a needy out loud story. I do, and it's funny, it's the Christian car guy. I was listening, and then I had to call 911 because there was some road rage.

So I think people were going crazy with their cars, but man, I have had so many needy stories. But, you know, and I've talked to you about this before, where I had a time where things were going really well financially. And then all of a sudden Uh the bottom dropped out. And I really needed God. But I remember when I first got out of college.

And I I was selling cancer insurance door to door, Robbie. And I couldn't even Pay my rent each month, and I would barely make it, and I'd be bouncing checks. And first of all, I would have to Pray to God and God would come through every time. But then there were also times where there were. Oh my God.

Believe me, I want to hear the rest of this. We got to go to a break. As you well know, I can tell from that music. Um you can hang on for me. Through the break?

I sure will. I hope you do. And I hope if you're listening, you can think of a time that, oh my goodness, let me tell you: 866-348-7884, give us a call. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

I don't need any I don't need this stuff. I don't need anything. See, I say the power gave it up. Meety out loud today on the Christian Car Guys Show. Lord, I need you.

And we're so excited. We got Mike Zwick still with us, but we need you. 866-348-7884. When we're. You pour in spirit enough to get needy out loud and you experience the kingdom of heaven, Mike.

Yeah, I'm here, man. You know, and where I needed the kingdom of heaven, and we talked about this before. was where I had you know I had a severe financial windfall And every single month And probably more than one time a month, maybe every single week. If the Lord did not come through financially, I wouldn't pay my bills, and I was afraid I was gonna lose my house or whatever it was.

Now, looking back on that, Robbie. I would never want to have to go through that again. The experience was terrible in a sense. But on the other hand, Robbie, I would never give up that experience. For anything in the world, because of what I gained from it, was that I fully relied on God.

And I've heard preachers say before, Robbie, they say, you never know that God is all you need until God is all you have. And at that moment in my life, I knew that God was the only person that I could rely on because if it wasn't for the Lord, Bringing me through each week or each month, I wouldn't have made it. And it was. It was a wonderful experience, in a sense. I love that.

I loved it. You know, you had sort of a Freudian slip there. And I love the way it came out because the way you said it is, I had such a. a financial windfall. That I needed.

God come through every week I was, you know But actually, you had a shortfall that turned out to be a financial windfall because. When we really understand that, oh, oh, oh, oh, we think we have control of this? Really? You think you do? And we're we're all the time that needy.

When we really if we really had eyes to see it as the blind beggar You know, we always need God's provision just as badly. But we just don't see it. And we don't really realize where it's coming from, right? Yeah. Go ahead.

No, you're just that you had a chance to glimpse reality for that period of time. Yeah, I absolutely did. And I was reminded of a story this morning, Robbie. Uh supposedly, there was a meeting in 1923 at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. And it was circulated on the internet.

Later on, they found out that the meeting may not have actually taken place. that it was the nine richest and wealthiest people in the world at the time. Charles Schwab, Sam Ensol, Howard Hopson, Arthur Cutton, Richard Whitney, Albert Fall, Ivan Kruger, Leon Fraser and Jesse Jesse Livermore. And they had all gotten together because these guys were the guys who had it all together. They had a bunch of money.

They were the ones to look to. And what I read about in this article, and I don't know if you've heard about this before, but Jesse Livermore, one of them, despite amassing and losing multiple massive fortunes, he tragically died by suicide in nineteen forty. Leon Frazier, the president of the Bank for International Settlements, committed suicide in 1945. Ivan Krueger's uh his financial empire unraveled into a massive Ponzi scheme, leading him to to commit suicide in nineteen thirty two. And every single one of these nine people who were some of the wealthiest people in the world ended up either penniless One of them ended up in a mental institution and it did not end well for them.

And so I'm reminded of where it says in the Bible that money has wings and it will fly away. But I'm also reminded in the Old Testament, Robbie, where it says, give me neither poverty nor riches. He says, because if I have too little, then I will say that I'll have to steal and I'll profane the name of the Lord. But he also says, but if I have too much, then I'll say I did all of this on my own. And who is the Lord?

And so we all know that it's tough to struggle and we didn't want to do that. But at the same time, one of the biggest dangers that I've seen in people in their Christian lives is success because that can lead to a lot of problems as well. That's beautiful. In fact, that passage Mm. I think it's in Proverbs.

It actually ends with just give me my daily bread, which is where Jesus put that in the Lord's Prayer, right? That if we realize that every single day we desperately need that manna. Um which ultimately, you know, Mike, it's The real wealth that's available to us every day is in his word, and I know you study it every day. And for me, um, Like, man, that's where we truly need him.

So I appreciate your call a ton, Mike. It's always great to hear from you. I missed you yesterday. It's great to talk to you, Jay, buddy. Thank you.

I'll love you. Talk to you soon. Bye-bye. 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884.

When were you so needy? that you actually Got loud about it, and all of a sudden you experience the kingdom of heaven. I have an experience from the Jesus labor of love. Jerry would tell you this, my Christian body shop guy that. And I love this story because it just shows you how simple it is.

This poor widow had been driving around. In a hot car for two years, right? And since her husband passed away. The air conditioner didn't work in her car. And so she heard through our radio ministry that we would help single moms and widows with car repairs.

And she knew that Ray's Body Shop and Director Service was involved in that. And so she just didn't think about that, gee, it's body shop, not car repair, you know, mechanical repair. But she drives up and says, Can you help me? I can't get my air conditioner to work. And Jerry didn't know exactly what to do.

He said, Well, I'll go, you know, I'll look at it. And so she was needy out loud. She got hot enough. Right, to say, I'm going to go get some help, and God provided it, and so you know, I hope everybody sees Jesus as the hero of this story that He came through for her. Was needy out loud, so she went to Jerry, said, I'm burning up here.

I've been doing this for two years since my husband died. And he goes out and He says, well, show me how that works exactly. And uh, you know, she sits down in her car and See how hot that air is that's coming out? she said. And Jerry said, Well, you see this little button right here with a snowflake on it and how it's not lit.

And I don't know, some air conditioners you have to actually push the compressor on by pushing that little snowflake button. And her car was like that. And when he pushed it, that cold air came out. And all of a sudden, in her own way, she was experiencing heaven compared to the hot situation that she had been experiencing, which could be thought of as hell to some extent. She now is experiencing that.

Just a simple idea of, like, man, when you're needy out loud.

So we come back, we got RK in the garage, but that doesn't mean you can't call. We would love to hear from you on your story. 866-348-7884. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

I don't need any of this I don't need this stuff I don't need anything! See, I say the power game right though. Needy out loud today on the Christian Car Guy Show. You know, we're talking about these two blind beggars, right? They're on the road.

from Jericho and Jesus Seize them only because there was a multitude there. And who was it that stopped Superman? Because clearly Jesus could do everything. I mean, he was everything. But of all that whole multitude only two of em God a God touched that day, and those were the people that cried out.

Jesus, son of David, have mercy on us. And because they did. Jesus stopped. And and they got to see.

Well, I don't know about you, but there's so much I don't see. I wish I could see. And it helps to be. It's more than helpful. It's unbelievable when we're needy out loud, according to the.

According to what it says in Matthew 5:3, then ours is the kingdom of heaven. We got RK in the garage for us. RK. I know you wish that that Shade Tree Mechanic had been needy out loud, right? than deciding he could take on his own project, right?

Yeah. Um Well, you asked me what we could talk about this weekend. It just happened to be that my pool guy, who's an engineer, really. up to date and everything. I've had no problems for 15 years with my with the pool.

And he sent his truck out to a mechanic south of Greensboro. And he came in about two weeks ago, he came in Check my pool who's in the area, says, how you doing? What's going on? He said I got a problem with my engine. He said they I got my mechanics working on that they think the timing chains are bad or something like that.

Can you help me look at it? He said, Sure, why not?

So he gives me the address. I go there. Oh my lord. Here is the biggest shade tree. It's got to be 60, 70 feet high.

It's got to be 40 feet around with a truck of about eight or nine feet. And there's this 2011 Ford pickup truck parked alongside of it in the dirt. And I looked up and I said, Shade tree mechanic, I haven't seen one of you. Fox were in the dirt. I told him what to do.

He just said, Listen, he paid $2,800. I should have. The problem was. That car should have been in a in a shop somewhere. We're robbing, we you take the whole cab off.

You take the cab off to work on the engines on these four trucks, and a lot of them. You can't get at the engines, they're stuck under the under the firewall. And it's just as easy to there's only eight or nine or ten bolts and a couple of wiring. and it's a linkage and you lift the whole bo old cab off the truck. Fix your engine and put the cab back.

Well, he spent that was that's about thirty three, thirty four hundred bucks.

Well, he spent twenty seven and is still sitting there in And it might And I said the tree not running. I told him what to do, but he doesn't believe me, so. It's like I told him, listen, if you scratch yourself, blood comes out.

Well, it's tensured. The sensor there. Take that sensor out, turn the engine over, see if any oil comes out.

Well, I know there isn't any because there's no signs of it. But they they said so they come back and they said to me, Oh, it's gotta be this sensor. I says, Okay. I quit. I just don't want.

So I failed to play your music, RK, and I'm needing it.

So I'm going to be needy out loud and ask. Yeah, there you go.

Okay. Yeah, so you've seen this and again. How many times do people think they can do a project? Right. And even if you are a shade tree mechanic, good for you.

I think You should try. But you should try w And once you find somebody like RK who's willing to help you, then that requires wisdom to listen. They don't want to listen because I had two other. Two other things happen, Mr. Week.

Two other things happened this week. My two two daughters, one sent me a video of a 2015 Dodge truck they have making noises. It sounds like lifters to me.

So they they changed all three weeks ago and then they said, Ah, we better go to the dealer and have them change it and check it.

So they go to the dealer and have him change it and check it. He sends it out and it's the same noise.

So I said, What?

So I said, Well, Mandy, I don't know what to tell you, but go get some Marvel mystery oil. It's got to be a hundred years old. I used it back in the 50s, 60s. Oh, they still make it. Oh, yeah, of course.

Yeah. So I don't know what the outcome of that is. And then my other daughter calls us, she says, Gary's her husband.

Well, it's your boyfriend. Yagari's two thousand eleven truck goes around the corner and and chattering.

Well, the rear ends and the differentials in these cars that people don't know are pods of traction, a lot of them. Right? They have clutch plates like transmission. Yes, they do. And sometimes that oil that's in there sticks and chatters.

Louvard out of Seattle, Washington makes a good chatter fix And an update for that, um Yeah, that's an amazingly important note there that you just made, RK. And I don't know that we've made it on this show in years. that unfortunately a lot of people aren't even aware that their rear axle Is what they call positive traction or limited slip differential, all those kinds of things. And because of what RK just described, you don't put regular rear axle lubra in. And so, people that don't know that, if they have somebody service their car is not aware of that, and they put Regular axer lube in there, what happens, RK?

It doesn't work. It doesn't work. Not only does it work, it it destroys the clutch plates as well, doesn't it? Yes. And so what what you know, you thought, oh my goodness, this and and I can't tell you that the the times again, being a truck dealer all those years, people would come into us And somebody had put that gear lube in there, and oh my goodness, it turns out to be a nightmare.

And so that's a check. Yeah. Yeah, It's called purple. I don't know what it is, but I spent for 12 cores 250 bucks for a six-speed Dodge diesel, which you know what I'm talking about. The straight drive.

Right. I wanted to make it smoother shifting on the synchros, and this stuff does it. That's another good product for manual drive, manual shift. Manual transmission. Purple.

Yes. It's a magic. It's a magic drive. Another name would. There's another name with the purple, but it it's it works.

Oh, it does. It absolutely does. And the same thing that you're talking about, if you've got. uh a limited slip differential. Um that product you're targeting Say it again, that one that you were.

Putting in the limited slip differential up from northwest? I mean, the product that the lube. Oh, I'm sorry. LubeGuard, L-U-B-E-G-A-R-D. Louvreguard.

You can buy it anywhere in the stores. But it's for limited slip differentials, right? Yeah, it does a couple of little different things. It's a red bottle. I think it's about fifteen bucks.

Good stuff.

So, we got Mike in Dayton, Ohio. Do you? I have an idea. He may have a question for you, RK.

So, I'm going to put him on while you're still with us.

So, Mike. No. Oh, you just had a needy out loud story.

Okay, that's good. That's good.

Well, does RK want to listen to it? I'm sure he does. You do, don't you, R.K.? Yes, I am. I'm very.

All right, cool. I I'm I go bowling like you guys know and or I know you do Robbie and A bowling friend, he knows that I was a Christian and he came up to me at the bowling island. He says, Mike, I know you're a Christian. Can you pray for me? I have can colon cancer.

Oh, wow. And so he's he's out loud in the bowling alley. He's Right, right. And he's being needy out loud and he's being out leading out loud to Jesus through you. Absolutely.

And my friends are telling me, Mike, it's your turn. Mike, it's your turn. And I say, wait a minute, this is too important. I'll take my turn in a minute. You know what I mean?

And so he's telling me about his colon cancer. And I said, hey, let's pray right now.

So we prayed, I prayed right there in the bowling alley. which was, you know, in front of everyone and And also his best friend was there. His best friend took him to the hospital because they have to do the colonoscopy. He has to bring him back and forth.

So he knew all about it. and his best friend wasn't a Christian.

Well, to make a long story short, last weekend Thursday, he went back to the doctor. The doctor said to him, Well, we don't need you here anymore. We only deal with sick people, and you're not sick no more. Wow. He says, Yeah.

Divine intervention happened. I I that's the only thing I can say. It w you had colon cancer before and it's gone. It's nothing I can I can't find any of it. I can't see any of it.

you're healed He says, you need to just get out of here because I only deal with six people. Yeah. His best friend was there. And His best friend said There is a God. I want to go to church next Sunday, which was last Sunday, and I want to get saved.

Well, his friend says, Well, you don't need to do that. You don't need to go to church and get saved. He says, No, I want to just do it right. Hang on a second, Mike. We've got to go to a break.

Stay with us. We want to hear the rest of the story. RK2. We'll be right back. We need your stories as well.

866-348-7884. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Hello. I don't need any of this.

I don't need this stuff. I don't need anything. The aspect of Palgamer, that's all I need. Needy out loud today on the Christian Car Guy Show, and isn't it amazing? How some of our neediest times that humble us.

end up like the kingdom of heaven, as the case was as we were Hearing from Mike and his story, we got RK standing by as well.

So And Mike, he found out from the doctor. Yeah. That he was cancer-free, and his friend discovered that, and then he wanted to be saved.

So, pick it up from there. Yeah, he wanted to be saved, and his friend said, Well, let's, you know, let's get saved right now. And he says, No, I want to go to church and I want to do it right. And so he just didn't want to do it right then. And but, anyways, he came to church the neck that Sunday, and when he went to church, he was the first one when they had an altar call, he was the first one to run down the run down the aisle.

That's what my friend from the Bowling Alley said that had cancer or had cancer, you know. And uh He ran down the cancer, and that guy that was I bowled with on Tuesday. He came special trip because he knew I was at the bowling alley Thursday, and he'd come to tell me all about the what happened last week after I prayed for him on Tuesday of that last week. And And it's just a miracle. The bowling alley is All the people are whispering.

And it's great. You know what I mean? Well, you bowled a strike right there. You bowled over those guys, just saying, arcade.

Well. Hmm. I think, you know, it's when you think about what happened there, it's absolutely spectacular that this man's need. Right? For God.

And oh, by the way, every single person, every single one of us, we desperately need God to keep us from getting cancer right this very second. Just saying. We need Him to maintain our hearts and give us our sight and hear and breathe and all that stuff if we only had eyes to see how bad we need Him. Um You know, he came forward with that need in humility. And then God used that.

To help this other person see their need to actually have a savior. And right, the kingdom of heaven applied to, you know, so many different people in that church. And R.K., are you still with us? Yes. I I can't help but think of your own situation, which you've had some health struggles.

of light with your heart. And as a result of that, as a result of your need. I've watched is a whole parade of your family you never get to see. um right we're coming to meet this need i got to meet mandy the very daughter you're talking about with the with the with the rear axle i got to meet your other daughter and your minister yeah your son and and so it it it its own way it brings heaven doesn't it Yes, it sure does. I have my stepson here this week, five days.

I know. He was a great guy. Yeah, he came down. He does he doesn't say anything. He he calls I he calls me at ten o'clock on a Monday morning.

Hey, what are you doing? I'm I just finishing up something. All right, I'll see you in the morning. That's all he says, I'll see you in the morning. He's gonna drive six hundred miles.

Isn't that wonderful? And I know what that means, Steve. And Yeah. Yeah. You know, we we think, oh man, here we go.

I can't believe I'm needy.

Well, I'm just saying, you don't know. God said, You're moving forward, blessed are you when you're poor. Because poor results in needy and needy results in prayer and oh my goodness if we could just see like the blind beggar's mic what a great story man I was privileged to be used by God there. That's awesome. It really is.

And again, if we all could get the humility, and I want to Go back to the Jesus labor love, which is again car repair labor for single moms, widows, and families in crisis. Scott will tell you, and he'll be here on the 26th, I understand, that we have never. had such a windfall of people needing help. Like, I'm serious. It's been beautiful.

Like We we have like maybe doubled our normal num number of applications of recent months. But that also re gives me an opportunity to be needy out loud to all you listeners out there. to say, you know, if you go to Christian Carguy dot com There's all sorts of ways that you can pray for us to meet the need that we have, or you can give if God puts it on your heart. You know, there's an address there. You can just send us a check, or you can pay it online, whatever you want to do.

But it's there at ChristianCarGuy.com under the Jesus Labor Love.

So, you know, I realize that there's times, and it's hard because you don't want to be needy out loud if you're the Christian car guy and ask for money or cars, right? And what a neat thing this week. And I meant to give it to you. I had a lady that she had a tire. That that she a real expensive tire, like a three or four hundred dollar tire that she ended up with.

She didn't know what to do with it. She said, Can I donate that to you guys? I said, Oh, yeah, we got one.

So I got a tire an extra tire for a BMW RK. We can put in our arsenal. I love tires. And so, you know, if if you got something or some situation, you know, my contact information is right there at ChristianCarGuy.com. If you want to be needy out loud with me, I can't tell you how honored I am.

By the emails, by the phone calls. Of the opportunities to, like Mike, you know, be there to pray. Um, be there to answer questions. I may know a lot of people who have car questions if you want to get. RK's information, you know, or get if you got a question for RK, feel free to send it to me.

I'll get it to him. You know, I get the honor to be RK's pastor, and so we're going to be at church tomorrow, right, R.K. And and thank you for having me today. It really is I really enjoy it. I do too.

It really helps me. see the day through and and know that God is with you. 89 and still working on cars every day. It's a beautiful thing. I'm going to clean up today.

I got a car I sold and I got to get ready for next week.

So I got to go do something today. All right, my friend.

Well, you have a blessed weekend, and we will see you tomorrow. Mike, thank you, Robbie. As always, your dear friend. I can't tell you what you mean to this ministry and to us. I appreciate you calling in.

Your story is off the hook. Awesome. God bless you. Thank you, sir. God bless.

Thank you. All right, so You know, I just want to Take a second and and You know, just help you reflect for a minute on what these blind beggars taught us, what Luke taught us through this story. That all these people were there, that they came to see Jesus, they came to see him. Right, but they didn't ask him anything, and only two people that day on the road from Jericho got any help. All these other people, they they Literally, God was in front of them.

And they're telling these people to shut up, right? And so when you see people being needy, About the last thing you want to do from my perspective. is not appreciate their humility. When you see people being needy, it's our opportunity, right? To show compassion, to be merciful, because God loves mercy, because God is mercy.

It's one of the ways that He described Himself to Moses. One of the first words that came out of His mouth as He walked by, as He put Him in the cleft of the rock, was that He is merciful and He loves it when we Hear people being needy, one of the last things in the world you want to do is tell them to be quiet. One of the neatest things you can do is take a lesson from Mike there and say, man, can I pray? Um and I can't tell you the times. I can't begin to tell you at times.

that I was in a situation where the person was literally freaking it out. Um And I just jumped in, you know, casually said, it's okay if we pray. And it's amazing how it just helps people when they connect with God. They have that moment. Of Right?

Because the promise is yours is the kingdom of heaven. Right, is that point of need? God's going to meet it in surprising ways.

So, thank you all for listening to the Christian Car Guys show today. Remember, Jesus walked everywhere he went and got it all done in 33 years.

So, slow down. God bless. Have a great weekend.
