The Christian Car Guy Radio Show
To say the we can. There is an old joke that I dearly love for all sorts of reasons.
I've used it in devotions. A good diversion at a retirement, assisted living facility in Marksville it done it for years and years on Thursday mornings and I always I've probably told a joke once a year because it speaks to the childlike heart and all sorts of different ways and if I don't know if you're familiar. But if you want to wow the heart of folks that are in assisted living or retirement home bringing a child. I mean they love children.
They love to talk about children. They love the thought about it because it's kind of like to get back to that childlike heart and so this joke along those lines. As a pastor was preaching on the hundred and third Psalm. Verse 14 specifically, he began dear Lord, and with arms extended in a rapturous look on his face without you we are but dust and he would have continued but at that very moment, a very obedient little girl. He was listening very carefully leaned over to her mother in a quite audibly shrill voice said mommy what is but dust. That's hilarious for all sorts of reasons and Psalm 130 10 314 says he knows our frame.
He is mindful that we are but dust and we are but that there is no I go there this morning is for some reason, God has had me on this lesson plan for a couple weeks about just being dust and and but this really brings it home for me and you know it's it's interesting to me that the original impression that God had on my heart to do this show. The thing that he put there and the thing that Keith continues to bring to mind is Robbie get on there and talk about what broke your heart all those years in the car business and the show is a lot about hearts so that talk about that today, but what broke my heart in the car business for years and years and years was people that would come in and and and they would trade a perfectly good car you know that maybe had 40 50,000 miles on it and they were already in all kinds of debt just to pay for that car and then they would just compound their debt and put themselves in all kinds of bondage to get some new trinkets on new toy and all the sudden their families in a make in between two cars 1500 $1700 in car payments and and it would just break my heart because I knew that the car that they had would lasted they would just pay it often and take care of it that you know like I've said for years. If you take care your car it'll last as long as you do so. My heart was broken over this and God wanted me to talk about this on the show and I've talked about it for years and and he really wants me to what he impressed upon me this morning to talk about was this vision story that I want to share with you which has to do with my heart and that has to do with.
I many know that I get up early and I pray every morning for a long time and I have a dear friend who who also prays like Saturday mornings he tells me he prays five or six hours and he often experiences what he says you know going to heaven because he'd say you know were seated in the heavenly is Robbie. You know, and he'll quote the Scripture you know and so it's not unusual for me to go into heaven and sit on God's lap and he tells me about all these adventures in heaven and for years is made me very jealous on electric got Akamai never get to go to have it, you know, I pray that I get to do all the stuff but I got get to go on this adventure to heaven and you know the other day that friend of mine told me another story and I was I was on my heart and so I had had a typically difficult week. My father had fallen and broken his neck and in his nose and several things in and I was in the middle of that still in the middle of all that, and I'm sure that that has some effect on what's going on in my heart right now and so I am praying away and I'm I'm saying got I really I want what Adam gets to do. I want to go to heaven.
I I want to know what heaven I just want to see what that's like this, please give me a vision of what that might be. And so I went on to another part of my prayer and in a minute or two later. It wasn't terribly long after I really expressed my desire to see heaven. I get this very clear vision. This is not like a thing that I'm imagining in my mind. It's like I see this and only get to see it from a like maybe like 15 seconds. Maybe 10 seconds I'll know it wasn't long but it made an impression and it wasn't like I was seeing something in my head. It was like that was there. That's what I was actually seeing and what I saw would be similar to an adobe house and you know I spent a lot of my life out west and going up tonight. You know when I graduate from ice college in Albuquerque and and after that I went and lived in an actual adobe house that was made out of you know my and so I knew exactly what I was looking at with Scott.
This is club this and Jesus is such a sense of humor. But what he was telling me was something that II think we all know is that heaven is within us right.
I mean that's the Scripture. Heaven is within us. And since we are but dust. Note in this case he was saying Robbie email you don't have to go far to get to heaven. It's right there in your heart and it's but dust in any given he speak with you. To me, and I'm sure that when you're praying he speaks your language.
Do you but this is from my experience, Jesus's playful way of saying Robbie really you know this stuff you understand what this is so talk a little bit about what I think that really inside the heart of a vision of what I've shared over the years and what God shared with me about the holy the holy of holies, and some things I think you'll find fascinating that when I talk about that but I would love to hear your vision right sometime you got, you ask God for something specific you want to see.
Maybe it was the seventh heaven.
Maybe it was something else that you you felt like a Bible story or something that you really want to see. I would love to hear that story this morning and you call in at 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH please I would love to hear your vision God gave you vision. We would love to hear it.

Let's get you a little slack. You are but dust and if he was showing me that in a way something I wanted to see for years and years and years and so I have just been blessed out of my socks to hear these other visions. Of course this is a car show working to get to the Jesus labor, love, and it does have reference to how people get cars in their harden and all the stuff does end up as dust. But right now we got to Mary is in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm very excited to hear about her vision for marriage. You hang on forever. You're in a Christian card I show the morning so don't be earlier my heart I know will be angling to call in later toothpaste everywhere) for over two years thinking I was night time which is not despair but prayer, meditation, reflection and contemplation I love that yes yes yes. So in that and not turning in prayer, meditation, kind but it was that I was doing and the spirit over to the very first vision I never had. I was blown away.
I was screaming at. Anyhow, I found myself I'll be brief, probably about time but I want to try how it kicked off because it was so bizarre, I found myself standing in front of what looked like a gigantic 33 mL reel of casing hello I think that's what it would be a grounding and coming out of that were to keep down to square gigantic like movie theaters tie standing in front of it.
I would just and I was told to word I before and to key sales were intricately removing but it wasn't like a movie.
It was like looking through a window without glass and I wondered what they were doing in a kind wondering what they were doing. I immediately found myself at the entrance to the city and with Adobe. I located all the detail but there was a circular, like all wall in the courtyard for or sharing their there was so much going on that. But did you it was the city of forgiveness without the state. Forgive me for it was this lady of the city of forgiveness. Okay, it was the city of forgiveness current financial and resulting joy. It was not about forgiveness. It was about the relationship we have with forgiveness and consequential resulting joy. We have symbiotic and relationship.
It also who we have a symbiotic relationship with one another at two forgiveness. I was informed there were other city shown the devastating. I was on something city of forgiveness with it symbiotic really the people symbiotic relationship with the one forgiveness with forgiveness without meiotic relationship right now the sacred marriage of the symbiotic reasons yet is what with The city with only by God but anyways God I am I can spend a lot of time listening to the podcast of this to hear that and think of the details of what you're describing. Had you ever considered the reason that it was Adobe was it was your heart know will be before and actually Adobe.
I spent the last two years trying to describe to myself that well let me just tell you this the man I hope this helps you because you you may be the very reason that the show is what it is today. I this morning. Literally I been taking care of my father and in he wakes up at one in the morning terrified and and also some things going on so I was exhausted and I'm normally up praying for, but this morning I could get up that early because I was just exhausted and I'm way behind it.
My Ceridian because I been doing stuff all week trying to take care him and I'm praying way later than I normally do, but I just know what good to show if you're not in a God. So I need to pray and so I'm praying and I asked God every morning. What's my word for the day and I said God you know island that not only the word for today.
I need to know what you want to show to be about today and he said Robert I wanted to be about the Adobe I wanted to be about your heart.
I wanted to be about, but dust and and and I was in. He said this. This is for somebody specific inmate. It was like yeah you got blisters and 63 stations are one reason that this is for somebody specific so I don't know. It may be that other people listing that it's that his blessing as well, but I'm guessing Khmer that you are the reason the show is what it is today and I'm blessed out of my socks and you are in Des Moines, Iowa K TIA listening.

Okay, I don't know that I mediate all that but but but but I wanted to get to bed, but believe me God had other plans with the stories of all church these forever, and I hope you go back and listen to podcast and hear the different folks are called in with their visions today.
It's amazing how God is it clearly at work in our hearts, but my heart got kinda broken this week with our Jesus labor love which is car repair labor for single moms widows and families in crisis near James 120 says. James 127 says pure and genuine religion is the sight of God the father in the sight of God the father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you so this week the Jesus labor level wanted to share a couple praise work is we have this lady. Her husband was incarcerated and she and he was moved way way way way and she needed all change desperately in her car and she really didn't have the gas money to go visit him and so through the Jesus labor love. She is actually visiting him. Probably as we are speaking today right now because we got the oil changed and we got the money there to help her with her gas money to go visit her husband and you know I just don't know what to say but you know the Lord blessed us to do a great job this week he blessed us to help the lady with the catalytic converter and so there's lots and lots of success stories but we got a couple here that condo above our normal weight so I want to reach out so those of you listening in Greenville South Carolina specially but everybody can be praying for this, but in Greenville, South Carolina. We have a single great-grandmother. This great-grandmother is helping support her granddaughter and her great-grandson, and their only car in older Volvo has blown the engine.
In other words, she needs a car donated so if you're in South Carolina or even the south part of North Carolina and you got a car that you been thinking about donated still runs you know maybe it has a thing or two wrong with it. We can fix go to Christian card. I.com. There you will see the Jesus labor love.
When you click on that. You see ways to donate donate a car, send me an email.
However, you get to me to let me know you're in South Carolina you're in southern North Carolina you got a card to donate this lady really needs transportation as all three of them in their walking, there's their son all the way to school, which is one thing right now, but when the weather turns cold and wet in all that you can imagine they they really need a car and then this other one that we have is a lady actually in North Carolina and again a situation where the engine blew, and her whole story.
By the way, is a Christian card I got, the prayer request you can you can see her story here of course you know we don't give any names or anything like that and she is in a bad way financially actually living with her parents and her parents don't have a car so between the three of them may not have male mother, father and daughter. They don't have a car between them and they had this car that unfortunately she take a loan out at one of these places that supposedly easy credit and then ended up with a really difficult situation you can read again the story of Christian card. I.com and all she's gone through this loan, which she still she is well actually she's paid it down to 3600 and now this car needs an inch, which the people there in her area code $7000, but I found it mentioned that the that we probably can get mostly donated so maybe seven or $800 for the engine and and probably $1000 for the labor to get it installed again the opportunity to donate for either of these causes is always there Christian card. I.com but also more importantly as you can tell from all the people called in today.
Your prayers mean a ton, and I know that these folks in distress with love and covet your prayers that the gods get to meet their needs because it just brings them up all kinds of glory. I know I bike I get a chance to see that I get a chance to play with these ladies and it it just blows me away to see how God works through this and often often often what's going on is is just like Roxanne shared they have a sense they're not alone in this and if you read some of the stories are you there you go to our Facebook page or look@christiancardi.com you will see often. They feel absolutely may feel abandoned. Nobody's there for them and and and there are so many other agencies out there. You would think that might help these folks, what I can assure you it their best to try to find these things, but often enough or whatever you loop all these people fall into that. You know that they have no way to get help and so this ministry is such a godsend to them and I thank you for all that you do. Along those lines. If you want to see all of them talk about the sanctuary. Your heart is in all is involved with Adobe and all that stuff I posted article this morning. It's called but does it affect along with what I think is a beautiful picture of a car resting in the ground is as well as your heart so again I am beyond grateful for the courageous folks are called and ensure their visions today and I'm a really afford to go back and listen to the podcast of this we are so grateful for you listening today. Remember slowdown.
Jesus walked everywhere he went and he got it all done in 33 years and we are but dust on me. I can get it all done today. Neither can you understand just take time to spend with God and and you get a lot more thanks for listing Christian card
