Fill me up, fill up the tank (your suffering tank). Colossians 1:24
GREAT: Calls from listeners to bring clarity to Clo 1:24
And radio show. Now were talking about Philip. Philip the tank so you could sort of this tankful from the Phillips Bob were headed, but tankful for the suffering know that's a bit of a challenge and you know it is I was teaching this week.
I had a chance to whine less to be able to teach a special-needs Sunday school class on Sundays night this week came up across a verse that you know being a Christian car – and I naturally think of the tank forget that there you got this tankful but is Colossians 124 in the way that verse reads is now I rejoice in my sufferings for you and in my physical body for the sake of his body, the church and then it says I fill up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, and it just grabbed me Bob like so there is like a gas tank full of suffering that has to get filled up this morning, I had no clue what you want to talk about and I woke up this morning and I realize that tomorrow is my son's birthday and I got really sad because I hadn't prepared anything. I didn't make sure there were flowers at church this year for his birthday and sometimes his grandmother does that, but I'm not sure she did it night and checked on that. I became really really really down. I was I was just really struggling me. I got so emotional and I had to grab a wife in this squeezer and get her to hold me for a minute because I will lose very afflicted about the about the situation then and then when I get hearing and you're talking about our suffering and that I'm do some suffering. I've been suffering free for quite some time and I've been, you know, running around the country. Each the indecency and that and and having just a whole bunch of fun and I think it's God's bringing me back in rainy me in a little bit and reminded me that that there has to be some balance in my life and this verse is extremely provoking to me. I I just feel like wow how do I rejoice like like what he's talking about here because I get a sense that the here's this like huge amount of suffering within a bucket and that has to get full before essentially, we died were self because I could kinda compare this to reverse the Paul also wrote in Philippians 310 it says my aim is to know him and the power of his retro resurrection.
So we want to know the power, the resurrection, but if you want to know the power of the resurrection. The first challenges you gotta die and the sharing of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so it seems to be an understanding that I'm I think I can understand that, like intellectually, but I am just sitting here considering what is that mean that for the body for the sake of his body, the church hears this like tankful. That's got to be filled up with suffering and there's some other questions I have inside that of the reason I'm saying all this. I really need your help and Bob need your help. We watched calling going. We have a I have a friend that used to have that on his answer machine if you called is his voicemail, cut his funding get him. He would say, rejoice in your suffering in and and I asked him thank you know what's what's really about the way he explained it to me. He said that you know.
Rejoice in your suffering because if your suffering God working on you and he sees you the things that you have value and that you may need an adjustment and that that was a very basic explanation but it was one that I could understand kinda and the you know he's eight we hadn't spoken a long time. I'm sure I'll call them right after the show today. The surf you have inside on this verse we would love to hear yours really worked because all under one end of the same II don't know that I get this and so I would love to hear your take 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Some of the call and ensure that's 866-348-7884 should add that were very blessed to have a wonderful episode Christian Car Guy theater coming up in the show were to talk about this through this tankful idea because we actually have a name that noise that has to do with tankful and so with that, let's play time. The play to find my defense, I like that hubbub is called alright so get ready to call in 866-34-TRUTH 87884 the topic is being tankful so were talking about it tankful here when you hear this noise.
See if you can identify it actually did a us in on the highway about the noise.
A lot of people will quote it to me as I'm out and about in the city say Robbie, I'm always not doing this because I heard your suggestion on this when you hear this noise does not has to do with tankful and Keith if they can name that noise don't want that when the Christian Car Guy prize vault you can win a look and all you have to do is name.
This noise it's the same noise. I just did it four times to try to give you an idea of Bob, did you guess it already felt that I did it before I heard you instill this in me had used to be one of my habits. I thought it had an advantage.
I had an advantage from doing this so that you can name that noise you call us at 866-348-7884 is a number to call and ensure there is something to learn here about gas tank filling in all. I compassed us will play one more time that wasn't easy as make noise in the world record either by the way consumption is in the moment and there you go.
So that's good to be really helpful if you call it a name that 866-34-TRUTH 8788 form part of the reason that this voice excuse me, this verse had the impact on me this week I think.
About rejoice in your suffering is that as the person with the Jesus labor love car repair labor for single moms with families in crisis when I'm gone for a week like it was last week on that wonderful pastors, cruise, and I come back. I've got a whole bunch of Jesus labor love folks I could call and I often wonder what it would be like to be Jesus just for a millisecond because when I hear the suffering of just like five of these phone calls. If you go to maximum five of them in a row and you hear the people that know they've lost her job there. Hope to run it run out on them.
You know there's there left of this child that sick. They have no way to get the doctor there about to lose it. You know the engine breaks down and they're trying to understand the suffering and quite often there crying and and and as I was listening to all that I was thinking about this verse this week and going all my goodness can imagine what it would be like to be Jesus, for God just for millisecond to hear all the suffering that's going right now Bob I can't even begin to I can't begin to think what it would be like to lose my children under any circumstances. It's is nothing I wish on anybody and it had so many different dynamics to it. The years of suffering in dealing with the drug abuse. The five months of of just sheer joy and an renewed hope that Wade found when the inner treatment program and begin to begin to heal and just so much that we were just so thankful and hopeful and then have that object away so quickly and suddenly will continue after the break we got a break coming up here and we got we got Danielle is in term she's got an answer for us and we love to hear your story, 866487884 and for the suffering while thankful for the suffering.
As we talked about Colossians 124 now I rejoice in my sufferings for you in my physical body for the sake of his body, the church, I fill up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, and I am beyond excited and so is Bob, by the way that we have two callers that have some comments on that verse. First off, we have Danielle lose in Durham, Danielle, you're on the Christian partnership morning.
I hear your great can you hear me yeah yeah when I heard talking about morning I had a few minutes I felt led to call and I wanted to say that I think the word rejoicing that get the likely word rejoicing were so happy and had my share suffering and ill dealing with something every day with people I love watching them suffer and all I can say that kind of work that I did. I have an opportunity to meet every single day. Many people are some wonderful wonderful people out there with Goodheart. We only hear about the ones that aren't that there are some awesome people and that I noted down just encourage me and let me out during the day and let me know. Like his little hug them to me and me and that is really cool and come time to go lie down to convey an don't know you well and you have the conversation but anyway the more I bent the life I find I can relate to other people that are suffering with something similar or going through it at that time and play you know that you spoke in somebody's life and I spoken to your land, you leave each other. The different kind of thing that comes over you that you know that if you you didn't gonna do that or you are not walking through that you could not something to them and they would not listen to you. Anything that makes absolutely perfect.
Used to get some help from helping others and I used to do more than that I've done lately and I think it's this kind of a little wake up call that that's the second Corinthians 1. First, write the God of all comfort comforts us that we may comfort others and comfort. He could have us with, which is exactly what this that's really really really that's helpful Bob and we had no you where we were headed to I and you have led us in a direction that we yeah yeah that's that's so enjoy your something wrong.
Let me tell you a quick story when I was crushed between the two cars nearly lost my leg while my leg was still in the cast. And while I was still healing. I got a call from somebody at church and asked me to go visit somebody in the hospital just in the been in a motorcycle accident that had a very similar injury and they said Robbie would you go pray with them and encourage them because they knew that I'd been through exactly what you know it was like second Corinthians 1. Come to life for me and I haven't even thought about connecting that first this verse wow Danielle that is only one not like strong virtual liking… Me. When God kept me strong, real people talking with real wrong even when they're angry sometimes. Or someone to share something to think I'm so mad right now and you have been there honey. I know it was so bad you have no idea how I handle it or I can handle it well. Say I try not to do it this way could I do it right passing on knowledge and wisdom that you got because you made to date in life because you didn't handle it the right way sometimes got you think you could try to make a better choice is so awesome grateful for your so much the drawing in my lot and that way and that my life and because I care deeply, my situation people realize that in the end it was just because I cared that much time and I appreciate you so much. Thank you so much of the platform that I use when I was working with young people, you know, because I shared my mistakes and and she is text me and send me Danielle, thank you.

Well thing all and I called know what you were talking about and I was thinking you know greeted but maybe it was right right right well as we got your call, please, please, please, I know you stated on state on hold for a long time for us. We really want to hear what you have to go to break when we come back so we got some show, you're listening to TruthNetwork.com thankful for the suffering on the Christian Car Guy show Bob and Ira get the tankful right now this from the insights of our listeners. What wonderful I'm so grateful for your insights for your calls. We would love to hear from you. 866-34-TRUTH 87884. We'll talk about this verse in Colossians 124 which I should point out again at the end of the charrette. After the segment working here. Our last. Next episode Christian Car Guy theater actually episode 4044 so I'm pretty excited about that were talked about Colossians 124 now I rejoice in my sufferings for you in my physical body for the sake of his body, the church, I fill up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, and we left our hero Janice. She was about to speak on that subject. I would think about it all joy when trial trial and I'm going through right now is a financial one.
The go working full time and I was ready to come out of the corporate world and you the talent of drawing that the Lord that the Lord had given to me and so I had done a lot of praying and he gave me and because I thought I am ready to take me to trust you to make the move and so I did 17 and I knew the money that I had a like my 401(k) was that going to carry me but probably about two years so around November of last year and think medical benefits ran out.
My money ran out so Aaron live me trusting the Lord.
No income whatsoever coming in and you know why people fail you need to go get it down but I know what the Lord called me children's book which I'm doing now and he gave it to me and I know for fact that I never wanted to do like to be my friend Chris and children's book. I'm going, but what I have learned in right at that moment and start flipping financially to pay my bill. I was getting behind almost 3 months and then you know he provided money for me that carried me polite. January to April.
Well now I'm back at the same thing point now where I'm having to trust him.
And the thing about it when you know we can play all day long. I trust the Lord.
But when it comes to that truck walking by faith. Do we really can we really want five counted only I thank him for the trial because cannot happen you know with money. I would not have learned to think about money that I needed to learn it with Beaumont never been a good good always paid my five different heart that always given but even in that you need to have with no go a lot of thing concerning learning money and my finances and and I know that all but one book, comes out.
I'm not going to dwell because the book but it it's been a eye-opening time in education that you can only pay for with sufferings which I guess I have been there based on a previous call I can kind of relate to where you're going to a couple things I want to mention number one Janice you you may know, I have another so-called kingdom pursuits when your book does come out.
I would love to have Jan there to help promote the book and so if you go on hold when I put you back on hold and keep the give you my contact information so that you can call me about that when when when the book comes out.
But Bob, I'm seeing that yeah there's a lot of education that comes from suffering those hardy educators.
They stay with you so so much longer than than than the easy ones you and I can really relate and have much much much experience with that really feel very coming from.
Thank you Janice God bless him a put on hold.
Okay you I look forward to having him to pursuits all right. Well we got Sarah Linda lives in Port Orchard you want to try. They met noise.
You want to hear the noise again of Sarah Linda before we try to guess it all right here we go here's the noise.
Keith is going to play. So what you think that noise is Sarah Linda like clipping together stapling together which you like the papers you want to get part stapling it that way. Trying to do some of that now.
My life with my you recorded they put together anyway.
Well, you might you might be right. As always, I never know what might have been going on in the background when we recorded that noise, but the actual noise that I recorded the thought I recorded was the sound of a gas pump. Clicking when you when the gas pump goes up and you may have wondered in those listing. You are free little thing from a Christian Car Guy what makes a gas pump quit when the guest feels up in the tank and if you ever wondered scientifically it's called the Venturi effect that there is a little vent at the bottom of the gas hose that's like a little hole which will see in the top there as long as the gas is going in your tank well then it's literally creating a vacuum with air, pumps up this diaphragm inside the gas pump to make sure that the pump continues to flow gas but the second that the gas covers up that little hole in the bottom of the fuel nozzle nozzle right as soon as that happens in the air stops flowing, which creates stuff coming back together actually feel coming up in metal and when that happens you hear that click now and so that's the noise and call the venture effect of this reason that that works. The reason I want to mention that this free advice from a Christian Car Guy is a lot of people try to get as much gas in their in their tank and they guilty. I may go click click click below so they'll do that once, twice, three times can take you know gas is it to 11. I don't want to miss out on this opportunity to get every else what you don't realize is that up at the top your filler back in your gas tank is an event and that vent is is meant to go in your PCV system your evaporator system and so if you overfill your gas tank like that by going click click click you'll take the fuel and port all down in your evaporator system Turner check engine light on and get to spend maybe hundred $50 on that $0.30 a gas that you trying to say. So that was the point of all that surly menu been very patient to listen through the whole right that's right, filling out well. Then we could go. We need to have the whole inner soul filled up legal old put you back on hold so that they can get your information is sent to that book.
We want to know how I wanted to give you that thing on about filling up our suffering that okay okay because we were quickly got the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Anyway, damper for an Olympian that I may know him and the power of the resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings when rendered. You know, and you know what the rest of it, but I get into the fellowship of his very becoming like him on the yeah I didn't it right away like 10 seconds. I river run retaliation. There so many things going on.
It's hard to get our brains around it. When it comes to spiritual warfare. Sometimes it just make us hold on tight. I'm sure with the powerful prayers of the under hood team and Jimmy's Jeep along with the prayers of the saints in River God's magnificent glorious angels to have a good perspective on the conscientious and zap them in no uncertain terms driven out of River. Unfortunately, the collateral damages-secrets and troubled hearts of Maribel Tyra Meriwether actually killed her husband, Pastor Jack, whose son John is a heroine and even now trying to pump Jimmy for some more money.
John combine more heroine only need about $100 didn't do it for a really good because I can tell you if you live will change yesterday, and for somebody Johnny, be willing to lend you the money but things are tight right now is willing to pitch and help others.
And it sounds like you're really in a bad way. I on Jimmy you know my school so John surprise he sees his little brother Joey standing are you meanwhile outside proximal shopping team are very aware of what's going on Frenchy fender raises the alarm to Frenchy Colleen Carhart was and it is straight from your throne.

I see my boy John to overcome. Just then John jumps up Madden follows Joey out the door something is not right here. I remember my town brothers were supposed to be fun and you used to be Joey mother member to cover so I do not want tomorrow noon calls me soon.
Meanwhile, Maren Meriwether is going to the church to ask for prayer right when Pastor Jack is prayer over his dilemma with his son John, suggested I come to you with me and tells them how well everyone so sorry, before we jump into all that what you say we ask Jesus to join us. I'm guessing we really need help.
