  Ron Meyers: Hello, my friends.
• 0:25
  Ron Meyers: It's great to be with you.
• 0:27
  Ron Meyers: Happy Thanksgiving.
• 0:28
  Ron Meyers: I'm Ron Myers.
• 0:30
  Ron Meyers: I'm your host, and the show is called Get the Hell Out of Your Life.
• 0:34
  Ron Meyers: It's a platform where I share my experiences with Jesus and discuss the amazing things he has done in my life and the lives of my guests.
• 0:47
  Ron Meyers: We love to brag on Jesus.
• 0:50
  Ron Meyers: And if you don't know Jesus the way we do, it may be because you haven't been told about his extravagant grace and God's awesome plan for your life, which is truly incredible.
• 1:05
  Ron Meyers: Well, today I have a special Thanksgiving program for you titled The Power of Faith.
• 1:13
  Ron Meyers: Years ago, I produced a booklet called The Power of Faith, and I distributed these booklets in places like post office counters, Walmart bathrooms, carbors, anywhere I could set a booklet.
• 1:28
  Ron Meyers: My goal was to provide hope, encouragement, and inspiration for people.
• 1:33
  Ron Meyers: And today I am so thankful on this Thanksgiving weekend because of God's amazing grace.
• 1:42
  Ron Meyers: Frankly, without his amazing grace, we would all be toast.
• 1:47
  Ron Meyers: I took my faith, my grace, and I allowed Jesus to grow it, and together we are promoting the power of faith.
• 1:58
  Ron Meyers: I want to share the contents of the power of faith booklet with you.
• 2:04
  Ron Meyers: You will be blessed by it.
• 2:06
  Ron Meyers: So let's dive in to the power of faith, and I'll return to close out the show.
• 2:12
  Ron Meyers: I am often asked, Ron, what is your secret to success?
• 2:17
  Ron Meyers: My reply is simple it's no secret, it's God's design for each of us, achieved by God's amazing grace and the power of faith.
• 2:28
  Ron Meyers: I would like to share how the power of faith has impacted my life and how you too can have success through God.
• 2:38
  Ron Meyers: Did you know you were destined for success before you were even in your mother's womb?
• 2:44
  Ron Meyers: That's right, friend.
• 2:45
  Ron Meyers: Before birth, the number of your days was all written by God.
• 2:50
  Ron Meyers: Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 5 says, I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb.
• 2:57
  Ron Meyers: Before you were born, I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.
• 3:02
  Ron Meyers: Friends, God created you with a plan.
• 3:06
  Ron Meyers: You are created in the image of God with particular talents, skills, and abilities that only you have, which means you are an original, not a copy.
• 3:18
  Ron Meyers: God wants to empower you today to use those talents, skills, and abilities to change the trajectory of your life.
• 3:28
  Ron Meyers: Today, this show is for the person who feels like something is missing in their life, for the person who wants to laugh again, sing again, love again, believe again for the person looking for hope, for the person ready to discover the next chapter of life.
• 3:48
  Ron Meyers: I believe in you, friend, and I want to encourage you that no matter where you are in life, God is at work in your life.
• 3:57
  Ron Meyers: God has not left you, God is for you.
• 4:00
  Ron Meyers: And today I will share some things that you can incorporate into your life that will empower you on your journey.
• 4:09
  Ron Meyers: Fail forward.
• 4:11
  Ron Meyers: When you experience failure, setbacks, and disappointments, it isn't because God punishes or ignores you.
• 4:19
  Ron Meyers: Instead, setbacks and disappointments enable us to learn and become dependent on the true teacher of success, Jesus Christ.
• 4:28
  Ron Meyers: I have discovered that with a teachable spirit, those obstacles, difficulties, setbacks, and disappointments become the stepping stones to success.
• 4:39
  Ron Meyers: The things that hindered me often now propel me to more significant opportunities.
• 4:46
  Ron Meyers: In other words, I fail forward, experiencing success because of learning from all my past mistakes.
• 4:56
  Ron Meyers: You are not a puppet.
• 4:58
  Ron Meyers: Does anyone believe we are puppets and that God moves our strings?
• 5:03
  Ron Meyers: You and I have the freedom of choice and we can choose to listen to God for instruction, or we can choose to listen to other voices in this world.
• 5:13
  Ron Meyers: The freedom to choose which path you will take in life is strictly your choice.
• 5:20
  Ron Meyers: Be aware though that your current life is created from the choices you made yesterday, just as the choices you make today and tomorrow will ultimately build your future.
• 5:33
  Ron Meyers: I have discovered that when I make better choices, when I take time to relax with Jesus, time to pray, read God's word, seek direction for my teacher, my mentor, my best friend, my encourager, Jesus, things begin to fall into place.
• 5:54
  Ron Meyers: God's unconditional love.
• 5:56
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you accept and internalize God's free gift of unconditional love.
• 6:05
  Ron Meyers: God loves you unconditionally and nothing you can do will change that.
• 6:11
  Ron Meyers: God desires an intimate relationship with you based on his unconditional and infinite love.
• 6:19
  Ron Meyers: However, how can we, as flawed human beings, hope to have an intimate relationship with the creator of the universe?
• 6:27
  Ron Meyers: Well, God made a way by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross and bear the punishment that you and I deserve.
• 6:35
  Ron Meyers: Remember the thief on the cross next to Jesus?
• 6:38
  Ron Meyers: He said, Jesus, remember me.
• 6:41
  Ron Meyers: And Jesus said, Today you will be with me in paradise.
• 6:47
  Ron Meyers: That is the message of grace, a free gift.
• 6:52
  Ron Meyers: You cannot earn God's grace, for it is his unmerited favor and a gift that costs the giver everything, and it cost us nothing.
• 7:04
  Ron Meyers: It is accessible to you and me if we would just open our heart and ask Jesus to come in.
• 7:11
  Ron Meyers: Too many people think they must change their behavior or lifestyle before God will love them.
• 7:17
  Ron Meyers: But that isn't true.
• 7:19
  Ron Meyers: God loves you right now, unconditionally.
• 7:22
  Ron Meyers: God is the source of all love, a gift we share with others.
• 7:27
  Ron Meyers: I've discovered that the more I remind myself of God's love, the more my love for Him and others grows.
• 7:35
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you accept God's unconditional love.
• 7:42
  Ron Meyers: Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 3 says, I have loved you with an everlasting love.
• 7:51
  Ron Meyers: If you don't become you, who will?
• 7:54
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you begin to accept who you are.
• 8:00
  Ron Meyers: You are God's masterpiece.
• 8:03
  Ron Meyers: A masterpiece is a one of a kind.
• 8:05
  Ron Meyers: I mean, think about it.
• 8:07
  Ron Meyers: You've got one fingerprint, no one else in the world has that.
• 8:11
  Ron Meyers: Soak that in for a while.
• 8:13
  Ron Meyers: You are a masterpiece created by God for God.
• 8:18
  Ron Meyers: So many of us compare ourselves to others and want to be like or imitate them.
• 8:24
  Ron Meyers: But friends, if you do not become you, who will?
• 8:29
  Ron Meyers: No one and you will rob the world of God's precious, unique gift.
• 8:36
  Ron Meyers: You.
• 8:37
  Ron Meyers: We are all born with specific personalities, talents, skills, and abilities.
• 8:43
  Ron Meyers: And your purpose in life is directly linked to your character, talents, skills, and abilities.
• 8:49
  Ron Meyers: I discovered that my life took on meaning when I was true to myself and accepted whom God created me to be.
• 8:58
  Ron Meyers: I wanted to become Ron, no one else.
• 9:02
  Ron Meyers: My goal was no longer to be a people pleaser, but my focus was now on living life with Jesus.
• 9:09
  Ron Meyers: I took seriously the fact that God had an assignment, a purpose for me to do.
• 9:15
  Ron Meyers: And by God's grace, I have enjoyed great success and joy through God.
• 9:21
  Ron Meyers: As a result, I wake up each day eager to pursue my purpose and discover new opportunities.
• 9:29
  Ron Meyers: Sometimes God places us in a season that we don't particularly care for, but that is part of the journey.
• 9:38
  Ron Meyers: And I believe that's where you will grow the most because each step of your journey shapes and molds you.
• 9:45
  Ron Meyers: Your attitude should be, Lord, I may not like this, I may not understand this, but I choose to trust you and not lean on my understanding.
• 9:55
  Ron Meyers: You see, friends, an attitude of gratitude is the very thing that allows us to experience success through God.
• 10:05
  Ron Meyers: Some of the jobs I have had in life, I didn't really want them, but I embraced each of them as a learning experience.
• 10:13
  Ron Meyers: It is often these unpleasant experiences that God will use to shape and mold us into the person he created us to become.
• 11:09
  Ron Meyers: Seek wisdom.
• 11:11
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you begin to seek wisdom.
• 11:15
  Ron Meyers: I remember when starting in business, I thought I knew everything and nobody was going to tell me what to do.
• 11:23
  Ron Meyers: Well, that attitude led me to failures and setbacks.
• 11:27
  Ron Meyers: See, when we think we know everything, we shut off the voices of wise counsel and of God.
• 11:33
  Ron Meyers: After three years in business, I struggled financially and told myself, I can't do this anymore.
• 11:40
  Ron Meyers: I'm going to quit.
• 11:42
  Ron Meyers: But just when we are ready to quit, God loves to step in.
• 11:48
  Ron Meyers: I felt something, that quiet little voice telling me not to stop, but rather seek wisdom.
• 11:54
  Ron Meyers: You know, in the Bible, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream one night, and God asked Solomon, What shall I give you?
• 12:02
  Ron Meyers: And Solomon asked for wisdom, and God was pleased.
• 12:06
  Ron Meyers: So where do you get wisdom?
• 12:08
  Ron Meyers: Wisdom can only come from God.
• 12:10
  Ron Meyers: I found the book of Proverbs full of wisdom, which gave me an awesome insight about living life, and success was within reach.
• 12:20
  Ron Meyers: Wisdom produces success, the kind of success that grows exponentially.
• 12:26
  Ron Meyers: There is no reason you should not excel in your field of assignment when you seek wisdom.
• 12:32
  Ron Meyers: Now, unlike knowledge, wisdom cannot be gained apart from God.
• 12:38
  Ron Meyers: Many of us are stubborn and we ask everyone in the world but God.
• 12:42
  Ron Meyers: Only a humble heart can ask God for wisdom.
• 12:46
  Ron Meyers: When you get into the habit of asking God for wisdom, your thinking begins to change.
• 12:52
  Ron Meyers: The book of Proverbs is my go-to reading.
• 12:56
  Ron Meyers: After all, they have 31 chapters, a chapter for every day of the week.
• 13:01
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success by humbling yourself and asking for and receiving wisdom from God.
• 13:10
  Ron Meyers: Proverbs 4 verse 6 says, Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you.
• 13:17
  Ron Meyers: Love her and she will watch over you.
• 13:20
  Ron Meyers: Guard your mind.
• 13:22
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you begin to guard what goes into your mind.
• 13:29
  Ron Meyers: I had a radio show for eight years for two hours each day.
• 13:33
  Ron Meyers: I woke up each day going through the news to find negative stories.
• 13:39
  Ron Meyers: I sought topics for my radio show to create conversation based on negative news stories with my audience.
• 13:45
  Ron Meyers: Unfortunately, the radio personality was so busy building an audience that I often missed God's grace in my show.
• 13:54
  Ron Meyers: Well, after 10 years of doing this, the radio station closed and that practice stopped.
• 13:59
  Ron Meyers: But what happened is that I soon realized my mood had changed.
• 14:03
  Ron Meyers: I was happy.
• 14:04
  Ron Meyers: Instead of focusing on negative news, I was focusing on the positive things of God for my life.
• 14:11
  Ron Meyers: And soon I found myself removing all areas of negative input into my life and replacing it with sharing God's love, mercy, and his unending grace.
• 14:24
  Ron Meyers: The transformation in my life was astounding.
• 14:27
  Ron Meyers: Today many people walk around angry and complaining about things they cannot control.
• 14:33
  Ron Meyers: But did you know that one fit of anger can diminish the immune system for six hours?
• 14:38
  Ron Meyers: But laughter will strengthen the immune system for 24 hours.
• 14:43
  Ron Meyers: Proverbs 1722 tells us a joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
• 14:53
  Ron Meyers: I discovered my mood changed dramatically when I committed to watching and reading the things that are pleasant to the heart.
• 15:01
  Ron Meyers: You don't have to ignore the news, my friend, but watch in moderation and know when to turn it off.
• 15:08
  Ron Meyers: We can still change our world, but it starts with changing ourselves.
• 15:13
  Ron Meyers: If the friends you are hanging around are pessimistic and gossipy, well, maybe it's time to get some new friends.
• 15:20
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success by guarding what goes into your mind.
• 15:25
  Ron Meyers: Take care of yourself.
• 15:26
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you begin to eat correctly and exercise.
• 15:32
  Ron Meyers: Have you heard the expression sound body and sound mind?
• 15:35
  Ron Meyers: It is so true.
• 15:37
  Ron Meyers: Can you have success without exercising and eating correctly?
• 15:42
  Ron Meyers: Absolutely.
• 15:42
  Ron Meyers: But here's something to think about.
• 15:44
  Ron Meyers: Let's say you have a car that needs a tune-up.
• 15:46
  Ron Meyers: A spark plug is misfiring, the air filter is dirty, and the oil needs to be changed.
• 15:52
  Ron Meyers: Your vehicle will still get from point A to point B, but the engine will not operate at its full potential.
• 15:58
  Ron Meyers: As a result, you most likely will experience a rough ride.
• 16:02
  Ron Meyers: Take the car in for a tune-up and a little TLC, and what a difference in the ride.
• 16:07
  Ron Meyers: We are the same way.
• 16:08
  Ron Meyers: When we take time to exercise, eat healthy, there will be a difference in our performance.
• 16:15
  Ron Meyers: The ride into our life will be much smoother and more relaxing.
• 16:20
  Ron Meyers: Even my prayer life is better, and my mind is sharper, and my conversations with Jesus are out of this world.
• 16:29
  Ron Meyers: I've been going to a gym for over 45 years.
• 16:32
  Ron Meyers: It has become a lifestyle.
• 16:33
  Ron Meyers: When I miss it, I can feel it.
• 16:35
  Ron Meyers: It just makes me want to exercise even more.
• 16:38
  Ron Meyers: The common excuse is, well, I just don't have time, Ron.
• 16:42
  Ron Meyers: I say, well, you have to make time.
• 16:43
  Ron Meyers: Without your health, what good is anything else?
• 16:46
  Ron Meyers: As I get older, I take the time to exercise and it pays dividends in my positive attitude and energy level.
• 16:52
  Ron Meyers: God has given us this incredible body and mind.
• 16:55
  Ron Meyers: His resurrection power lives on the inside of us.
• 16:58
  Ron Meyers: We must pray for the strength, the discipline, and the willpower to be more conscious of our health.
• 17:04
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you have the discipline to exercise and eat properly.
• 17:12
  Ron Meyers: Hold no grudges.
• 17:14
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you give the gift of forgiveness.
• 17:19
  Ron Meyers: You know, God has forgiven every goofy thing we've done in our life.
• 17:23
  Ron Meyers: So why not forgive those who wronged us?
• 17:27
  Ron Meyers: It doesn't mean we give them a free pass.
• 17:30
  Ron Meyers: It means we will not allow the actions of others to hold us back any longer.
• 17:36
  Ron Meyers: This was one of the most challenging things for me to do.
• 17:40
  Ron Meyers: I wanted to carry the baggage of anger and bitterness because I wanted to get even with the people that messed me over.
• 17:49
  Ron Meyers: But God had something different.
• 17:51
  Ron Meyers: Please hear me when I let go of my bitterness and unforgiveness.
• 17:57
  Ron Meyers: It was as if I turned on the faucet of God's unending grace, his love and his mercy began to flow through me.
• 18:08
  Ron Meyers: And today I pray for those who wronged me.
• 18:12
  Ron Meyers: Actually, I feel sorry for them.
• 18:14
  Ron Meyers: My desire to succeed through God is more desirable than holding on to things that will only stunt our growth with God.
• 18:22
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you give the gift of forgiveness.
• 18:28
  Ron Meyers: Walk by faith.
• 18:30
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you embrace change and allow God to be your compass.
• 18:35
  Ron Meyers: Walk by faith and not your sight.
• 18:38
  Ron Meyers: When the radio station closed and I lost my job, I had no idea what to do.
• 18:43
  Ron Meyers: I was scared and concerned for my family.
• 18:46
  Ron Meyers: Then the questions came.
• 18:53
  Ron Meyers: How can I trust God when I just lost something I dearly loved?
• 18:57
  Ron Meyers: I had people tell me, Ron, God has something bigger for you, and when one door closes, another opens.
• 19:03
  Ron Meyers: But I didn't want another door to open.
• 19:05
  Ron Meyers: I loved what I was doing.
• 19:07
  Ron Meyers: Well, a few months later, I ran into a friend working out at the gym.
• 19:10
  Ron Meyers: I hadn't seen him in years.
• 19:12
  Ron Meyers: But he had a book in his gym bag that he gave me.
• 19:16
  Ron Meyers: A God thing again.
• 19:18
  Ron Meyers: The first thing I read jumped off the page.
• 19:21
  Ron Meyers: The end of something in our life is not the completion of our destiny.
• 19:26
  Ron Meyers: God is in the business of strategically putting us in the right place at the right time.
• 19:33
  Ron Meyers: But the right place often seems like the wrong place at the wrong time.
• 19:40
  Ron Meyers: Wow, I heard God.
• 19:43
  Ron Meyers: He was moving me into another part of my destiny.
• 19:47
  Ron Meyers: It was a gut check.
• 19:48
  Ron Meyers: It forced me to step out in faith and trust God.
• 19:53
  Ron Meyers: Whatever he had in store, I was ready to embrace it.
• 19:57
  Ron Meyers: So that day I embraced change.
• 20:00
  Ron Meyers: And today I have so much fun promoting God's grace, whether I'm speaking, podcasting, or producing events.
• 20:11
  Ron Meyers: I need to emphasize that when change comes, and it will, trust God with all your heart.
• 20:17
  Ron Meyers: I know a lot of people will tell you kind all kinds of things, but you have to trust Jesus with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding.
• 20:26
  Ron Meyers: God will never, never lead you to failure.
• 20:30
  Ron Meyers: We all experience changes that can turn our life upside down.
• 20:35
  Ron Meyers: When that happens, remember that God wrote your story and is revealing a new chapter.
• 20:42
  Ron Meyers: Be glad that you are still alive to determine your future with the help of Jesus leading you.
• 20:51
  Ron Meyers: That is what will keep you humble and dependent on God.
• 20:55
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you embrace change and allow Jesus to be your compass.
• 21:02
  Ron Meyers: Walk by faith and not by sight.
• 21:05
  Ron Meyers: Pray for success.
• 21:07
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you pray for success in every part of your life.
• 21:13
  Ron Meyers: Failure comes from Adam's fall from grace.
• 21:16
  Ron Meyers: Today businesses are failing, churches are closing, marriages are coming apart, and children are turning against their parents.
• 21:24
  Ron Meyers: We need to acknowledge the situation, turn everything over to God and pray for success like never before.
• 21:34
  Ron Meyers: Success is God's exclamation point on his honor and glory.
• 21:39
  Ron Meyers: If what we do is based on the right motives, not selfish greed or ambition, but on being the best at what we do in life, then we will see success through God.
• 21:52
  Ron Meyers: Colossians chapter 3, verse 23 tells us, whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord and not for men.
• 22:01
  Ron Meyers: Becoming God conscious enables you to make good decisions, control your tongue, and see and hear what you need to see and hear.
• 22:11
  Ron Meyers: Pray for success in your marriage, finances, children, health, attitude, and most of all, your relationship with Jesus.
• 22:21
  Ron Meyers: You are destined for success when you pray for success in all areas of your life.
• 22:28
  Ron Meyers: Listen, you are destined for success when you listen to God still small voice.
• 22:34
  Ron Meyers: I cannot emphasize enough how each of us needs some quiet time to reflect.
• 22:40
  Ron Meyers: My conversations with Jesus every day is life-changing.
• 22:45
  Ron Meyers: I can pour out my heart to him.
• 22:52
  Ron Meyers: His grace is unending and it is beautiful.
• 22:57
  Ron Meyers: I remember in June of 1985, my gut told me to cancel my Labor Day weekend festival.
• 23:04
  Ron Meyers: I ended up canceling an event, surprising a lot of people, but that was my decision.
• 23:09
  Ron Meyers: Well, that Labor Day weekend, Hurricane Elena hit the Gulf Coast.
• 23:13
  Ron Meyers: And because I listened, my company was saved thousands of dollars.
• 23:18
  Ron Meyers: Some people call it instinct or a gut feeling, but I call it God loving us so much that He doesn't want us to see failure.
• 23:28
  Ron Meyers: Impulsive decisions can often cause trouble.
• 23:32
  Ron Meyers: I today intentionally listen for God's voice because I can't afford to make mistakes with long-term consequences.
• 23:43
  Ron Meyers: We must allow the Holy Spirit to lead us.
• 23:47
  Ron Meyers: It never ceases to amaze me how one day I am confused and lost in what to do.
• 23:54
  Ron Meyers: And then after my conversation with Jesus, pouring out my heart to him, the perfect idea comes to me.
• 24:02
  Ron Meyers: Wow, you are destined for success when you listen to God still small voice.
• 24:10
  Ron Meyers: So what is the power of faith?
• 24:12
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith allows us to live a life of peace, passion, and purpose.
• 24:17
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith allows us to see God at work in our lives and the lives of others.
• 24:23
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith allows us to walk into the unknown without fear or trepidation.
• 24:29
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith will empower us to drive away the darkness with prayer and fresh boldness.
• 24:35
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith affirms that you are a significant piece of God's worldwide puzzle.
• 24:42
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith gives you the desire to provide the gift of forgiveness.
• 24:48
  Ron Meyers: The power of faith reminds us that with God all things are possible.
• 24:56
  Ron Meyers: Some final thoughts.
• 24:58
  Ron Meyers: Friends, the most important thing, I think precious thing we have today is our friends, family, and loved ones.
• 25:05
  Ron Meyers: And every day as I get older, I realize it really is a true gift.
• 25:09
  Ron Meyers: We've all heard the saying, boy, time sure seems to fly by.
• 25:14
  Ron Meyers: It does.
• 25:15
  Ron Meyers: So I want to encourage you to take time, to slow down, stop and smell the roses, enjoy your family.
• 25:23
  Ron Meyers: You never know what tomorrow will bring.
• 25:26
  Ron Meyers: God loves you, God has a plan for you, and you are destined for success when you get the hell out of your life and trust Jesus for your entire life.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_03: You're listening to Get the Hell Out of Your Life with your host, Ron Myers.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_03: Real stories, real struggles, and real hope.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: There's something so relaxing about seeing the big willowy white sails of a sailboat gliding across the water.
• 25:56
