talking about doing this. Yes, serious, sir. So it looks like
2:30
you're you're like traveling or so, man, tell us a little bit about
2:34
what you got going over there. You look like you're inside of a truck
2:38
somewhere. Yes, sir, I am by trade a truck driver. I
2:46
would say I do drive an eighteen go Ern semi, a semi and that's
2:51
uh. I do regional work. So I work with. I live in
2:57
Las Vegas and I do outing Monday through Friday in the Samino Bakersfield uh La
3:07
area, Yes, sir, And so you see, I'm actually in the
3:12
front part of the truck. I had to cover the sulf in the back.
3:15
There's a lot of a lot of blankets and uh everywhere, so to
3:24
keep everybody. Uh, I got you here. When you're traveling, you
3:31
got to make yourself comfortable. I get it, bro, I get I
3:35
get it all right, cool man. Well, I'm glad that you are
3:39
taking time out to kick it with us and spend some time with me.
3:45
So you are a musician, tell us a little bit about about you.
3:51
You just learned by you know, I've been faithful and watching and so my
3:57
background I basically each choirs. I learned at an early age how to listen.
4:06
As I got older, I also begin to be able to teach others
4:11
how to use, you know, correct vocals. Again, just from listening
4:17
to the ones that were teaching me. Uh, you have your Kenneth Anderson's
4:23
Uh you get your uh Edward Davis and with Bowtriven. Even as an adult,
4:32
there was Bishop Kenneth Wells. Uh. That's was over the Riverside Mass
4:38
choir. I did mention Eddie Bouchrap, whats the fulfillment? When I lived
4:45
in Atlanta, I sung with Kevin Limits and higher Calling. I was actually
4:49
there around the inception of his choir, and so basically just being raised in
4:58
church. Thank God for a parent, a god caring parent, you know.
5:04
And I say that carefully. I do have my mom and dad still
5:10
around, and my dad did a lot of singing when he was my age.
5:15
I was trying to figure out where I got this from, and so
5:18
you got the old parents that were involved with music singing. It's just kind
5:26
of I guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree. So my background is
5:30
basically with choirs. I do participate with the praest team at the church.
5:38
But the gift in God's given me for choirs I to desire. I should
5:45
say how important it is to put the right people around our children and to
5:55
get them into the right environment, so especially a guily environment. The Bible
6:00
says that if you train up a child in the way that they should go
6:04
when they get older, they will not depart from it. Right, Yes,
6:09
yes, But there's also there's this question. I think that It's a
6:14
powerful question, probably one of the most important questions I can ask when I'm
6:17
doing a podcast and I'm interviewing people. Even though you were raised in church,
6:24
even though you've heard the Gospel and you had that type of environment,
6:29
there had to have been a moment where you decided to surrender all to Christ.
6:33
Right, because even at a young age, you know, we have
6:38
to learn how to die to self. We have to learn how to put
6:41
God first. You know, we have to learn how to repent from our
6:45
sin and turn away. And sometimes that's a drastic experience. You know.
6:49
You think about Paul and his conversion on the Damascus Road. He was thrown
6:55
from a horse and God had to get his attention. That was is surrender
7:00
moment, or for some people it's not so dramatic. Some people just get
7:04
it right off the back, like, Hey, I'm surrendering my life to
7:08
the Lord. So what was your surrender moment? What brought you to the
7:13
point where you just surrender? You gave up the white flag and says Lord,
7:17
I'm gonna do your will and I'm gonna stop fighting you. Do you
7:20
have a that moment? You can share it with it? Yes, sir,
7:27
It was I can remember distinctly, and this was I was grown.
7:33
And sometimes you can go through themotions from what you're taught. But the most
7:39
important thing out of office, the teaching is just a guy. It's just
7:43
a guyline or a direction pointy direction. A lot of times we don't realize
7:50
we're being kept by the prayers of our parents, prayers my grandparents. But
7:56
then you have to come to realization. You know that Cristi has to be
8:01
number one. And so my moment, actually, I was well in my
8:05
thirties when I finally told God, really told him yes, you know,
8:11
because sometimes we can get excited in service. We can get that emotional feel
8:18
we get, you know, when we're singing or when there's a ministry going
8:22
forward though when the pastors are making several good points, but when it finally
8:28
hits home, I think I had to go through some things. So after
8:33
church heard, after dealing with being an adult with regards to the regular problems
8:43
you're living, your rent, your car, no, just these things that
8:46
you don't expect to deal with as a kid because you know your parents dealt
8:50
with that. So when I got to a place where I had to ultimately
8:56
trust God and he came through one thing I like about God. Man,
9:01
he loves to show up man, so with me, I finally had to
9:05
tell him yes, because I was tired. You know, I was tired
9:11
of just not knowing, really knowing who I was singing about or who I
9:16
was. Why was I even coming to church? You know? Where was
9:20
I coming to church to be to say I'm here or basically was basically charging
9:28
up for what I needed to do for the rest of the week, you
9:33
know, So that's you know your My my AHA moment was I think I
9:39
was in my later is and I said that, you know, I can't
9:45
do anything without you, And I said, Lord, I've already made a
9:48
mess. Won't go into detail about you know, all the mistakes were made,
9:56
but you know living you know we make those mistakes. You know that
10:01
we're like, Lord, I wish you know I had to thought about that.
10:07
Hey man, Amen, Yes, yes, for me, it was
10:09
pretty dramatic. So yeah, I really I appreciate you sharing that and just
10:16
letting our audience know that even though you go to church, even though you
10:20
may be around it, there's people that are not going to make it into
10:24
the Kingdom because they think they're good, like we have to surrender. We
10:28
have to give God our life. People don't realize we got to die daily.
10:33
We got to die to self and allow Christ to resurrect in us,
10:39
and we have to know him. We have to have that relationship. It's
10:41
not about being religious. It's not just about doing good deeds, you know.
10:48
And so I love to always cut to the chase, and I love
10:50
to always bring that point out because this could help someone else that's been in
10:56
church all their life, you know what I mean. Like, even though
11:01
you may be a good person, you think you've been to church and you've
11:03
done good, good things. Without Christ, you're spiritually dead. You know,
11:07
you're just yourself. What do you do if the church building burns down?
11:15
What do you do if it pastor passes away, or your leaders pass
11:18
away? Your relationship has to be based on what you're getting out of the
11:22
word. You know, what does correct me if I'm wrong? Doesn't?
11:26
The Word of God is let every man search out his own soul salvation.
11:30
You know, you have to search the seeking God as if it's as if
11:35
it's your last breath, you know. I mean that's literally how you have
11:39
to be passionate about you know knowing who he is. Man, hey,
11:46
man, that's right, that's right. And and I want to say on
11:50
top of that, look at the days we're living in now, Look at
11:54
the time we're in now, it's not the time to play with this.
11:58
Like we have to get serious about walking with the Lord. You know,
12:01
we have to seek them every day. Some people think they said a prayer
12:07
twenty years ago that they're good, but they're living raggedy, you know what
12:11
I mean, they're sin and ramp you know what I mean. It's like
12:16
no, no, no, you have to live holy, you know what
12:20
I mean. You have to maintain it. It's a daily maintenance. You
12:24
have to keep stuff out of your heart, you know what I mean.
12:26
You have to be careful on how you treat people in and you have to
12:33
get in lean into guys so you can get his instruction for every day.
12:37
So that's just the practical side of it. And we hope that there's anyone
12:43
out there that needs to be dedicate or needs to draw closer to the Lord.
12:48
We pray that this will encourage you a man. All right, all
12:56
right, Well, let's uh going to our next section of this podcast,
13:03
so we'll be right back We're gonna get into this amazing event and some cool
13:09
stuff with our brother Jimmy. You are listening to the Light of Las Vegas.
13:13
This is the His Hop Radio show. All right, all right,
13:26
this is mister his Hopping and I want to encourage you once again. Check
13:28
out our website, his Hot Nation dot com and download our app, His
13:33
Hop Radio in your app store. I'm on line with my brother Jimmy,
13:39
My brother Jimmy Johnson. He is a talented musician, bass player. He's
13:46
in this thing for the long haul. He's been walking with the Lord for
13:48
a while, y'all. So he's got some stuff to share, some things
13:52
going on. So, brother Jimmy, I'm gonna pop this fire up real
13:58
quick, and I want you to get us a description about it and tell
14:03
us, you know, what's going on, what can we expect, and
14:05
tell people what they're going to miss if they don't come out to this event.
14:11
Okay, Well, first of all, you know, to see Uh's
14:16
calling me Jimmy. You see and you see James Johnson. So I don't
14:22
want you to think this is some type of you know, uh, some
14:26
type of deceitful. That's that's a nickname I've been called and it's fine.
14:31
If you ever see me on the street, you can call me Jimmy James
14:33
JJ. This up to you. So basically in my life I had had
14:41
several choirs. I had a group called Reverence in San Diego forty five voices.
14:46
I had a group called New Agenda. They sort of brought the East
14:50
Coast rattle sound to the San Diego area. I had a group called two
14:56
Timothy, which was Latino or black uh brothers and sisters, and so over
15:05
the years, I basically had a kind of stopped and whenever I did,
15:11
I think ten fifteen years later, I was always trying to have some type
15:13
of reunion and not realizing that you know, sometimes but not everyone, but
15:20
with some groups of reunion constitutes okay, you have people that actually are no
15:24
longer really do that? Man? That my singing? And so I decided
15:31
with it myself, you know, and I've just given you guys the honest
15:35
reason why, you know, God gave this to me. And one of
15:39
my nephews said said, you know, you know, instead of trying to
15:41
pull these old members back, you know, why don't you do something any
15:46
different? And I said, well, what could I bring to the community
15:50
to present Christ in a really good way through what He's given me, and
15:54
that to do a workshop. And in the workshop, those that are coming
16:00
to participants, we're going to be teaching for reading techniques. We're gonna be
16:03
teaching how to listen. We're gonna be giving instruction with regards to just not
16:10
just your basic part etiquette, but extra tools to use when those times come
16:17
when it's time to sing, or to minister, or even at your rehearsal.
16:21
And so this takes place the last week in April, that's April twenty
16:26
fifth through the twenty seven. Now, the first two nights are gonna be
16:30
rehearsing. It's gonna be pretty intense again bringing exercises. A lot of people
16:37
have said, well, I've sung for many years. You know, what
16:40
are you bringing to the table that I haven't experienced? You know, there
16:42
may be some things you may recognize you if you've sung before, But the
16:47
ultimate goal is to bring requires people to get there in the community. And
16:53
I've just just be real, I've been here Las Vegas for five years and
17:00
I've noticed it's not a lot of the groups pull together. You got this
17:04
church. We'll do a concert, do this thing, we'll do. We
17:08
got another creative choir I'm gonna do. But I think here, but you
17:15
very rarely hear of all these choirs. And I can name some churches.
17:21
I'm not gonna do that, but RMF is the name of the the syllables
17:27
R MF are repentance in a moment of forgiveness and God it gave that to
17:36
me with regards to a lot of times people fall out for a lot of
17:40
reasons. And it's amazing how the enemy will always usually attacks the music before
17:48
ministry. And you have to realize when when Satan was in heaven as Lucifer,
17:56
the music literally came out of it, and so when he was cast
18:00
down, the next uh beings that were created to sing and worship God,
18:07
actually it was us, and so that's always used it the first place he's
18:12
gonna attack because we basically he got fired and we took his job. So
18:18
his job is to discourage us from doing anything with repus to worship. So
18:23
again, so basically this is just an area of bringing folks together more so,
18:29
but as you're coming together, I'm giving you extra tools to actually learn.
18:33
Again, it's gonna be at OURWN Church, Rustuman Community Church. That
18:38
address is three six six zero, you know, tranch Or try sweep one
18:42
away, Las Vegas. The event's gonna be at six pm each night.
18:47
We're gonna if you guys get there on time, we're gonna get you out
18:48
at eighty. And you might be the type of person. I'm not singing
18:52
with anyone right now. I sing in my shower. I might you know
18:56
sing ocation, you know where to work. I'm having secret singing, you
19:00
know, come and check it out. You never know what you are have
19:04
the ability to do. And I've heard a lot of people say, well
19:08
I don't sing, that's kind of thing, and they think this is a
19:12
way or I'm looking for someone that has been singing background for I don't know
19:19
Fred Hammond or Barga Sap and you know, and I'm not. We're not
19:27
looking for that, you know. We're looking for anyone you know that actually
19:33
wants to learn. And so come out join us. You can have a
19:37
good time again. We have two rehearsals that Thursday, that Friday, and
19:44
then the twenty seventh we have an actual our finale concert. Lillian Lloyd,
19:51
amazing Woman of God, annoying to the evangelist. She's going to be our
19:55
special guest, and she knows how to preach, and she knows how to
20:00
sing and bring in the presence of God. So truly, I'm looking for
20:04
not only just an opportunity of singing, but now put an outpour of the
20:08
President of God. And in these days, like you were saying earlier,
20:12
people, there's so much trash going on within the media. People are looking
20:18
for break that they're looking for not just an experience, They're looking for something
20:22
that's going to ultimately change their life. And that's what you know. We're
20:27
hoping that I lost my train of thought. We're hoping that this will be,
20:33
you know, something that that will actually take place. We also have
20:38
one program we asked. We reached out to the City of Refuge Church of
20:44
God in Christ. Their pastors, Pastor Douglas brunts it and so their minister
20:49
music is San Brunce and we've also asked them to be special guests as well.
20:53
So again, if you want to register, you can go to RMM
20:59
collective. People want to participate in and get at the passes twenty dollars for
21:04
that and the finale concert is absolutely free. Might have some loved ones or
21:11
church members that want to come and actually singing the work that you would have
21:17
been doing for those two days. So yes, it's definitely a family event.
21:22
Saturday will be the finale concert. Absolutely. Hey man, bro,
21:30
that's awesome. That is awesome, man. So that that sounds exciting.
21:37
That sounds it sounds like it's going to be an awesome night. So I
21:44
just want to go over this fire real quick. Let me ask you this.
21:47
The twenty dollars registration fee is that for the workshop only for Thursday?
21:55
Like, how many days are the workshops? And does that get you into
21:59
one workshop to both of them or how is that structured? It's the both
22:03
days, it's one workshop, So the twenty dollars takes care Thursday and Friday.
22:10
Nice, that's a good that's a good price. That's really good.
22:15
And most workshops other cities sometimes they can even affords a fifty up just depending
22:22
on whose teachings. So if it's our first one, so that said,
22:26
we're gonna we're gonna give something affordable. So you know, after the workshop
22:30
you have a little money, you can go get your hamburger. I know
22:37
you're gonna be hungry right after you do all that work after that, be
22:41
working on your vocals and stuff like that. So who specifically is this workshop
22:47
for, Like, who is your target or an audience. I know you're
22:49
saying that you don't have to you know, sing for the you know,
22:53
the big artists or anything to participate or whatever. But let's say a person
22:59
who they don't know what type of voice they have. You know, they
23:03
may need a coach, they may need someone to tell them, oh,
23:06
you're a soprano or you're this, or you're that. Is this the type
23:10
of workshop for that person? Or is it someone who they know what they
23:12
got, they know what they can bring, and they're just going to come
23:15
in and maybe learn some new technique, you know what I mean? Who
23:19
are you really trying to target? This is a workshop for everybody. And
23:23
I'm gonna say it this way, man, because you may have some people
23:26
that may not feel they have the ability. You know, come on,
23:32
you may not know if you're a soprano, alto tenor you know. We'll
23:34
find out. Well, I'll find out. I'm the clinician this year,
23:38
and I have a lady Sharon Wilson's also a clinician. She's gonna get teaching
23:42
one song and our whole pastor Lank Clinton is gonna be vers well. So
23:48
we have a lot of people that do two different jobs. Now, you
23:52
might have a singer that has experienced and okay, well I soun soprano and
23:59
the glee club of the of the Banana Chips of Mississippi, you know,
24:07
But and then come to the workshop and discovered, wow, it's maybe been
24:11
a five, ten, twenty years. You know, I'm having problems singing
24:15
those parts. You know, maybe even where I thought I was, it's
24:18
too high now. So then we're gonna determine for you and help you if
24:23
you would let me to say, hey, look, you can continue to
24:26
struggle in this higher part, but if your voice is no longer doing that,
24:33
we need to put you somewhere else. And a lot of people don't
24:36
understand. As you get older, I'm not your voice changes. When you
24:41
have a fax, you have a violin, bass, guitar, a keyboard,
24:48
those instruments. No matter what you do, it's gonna give you that
24:53
same sound unless you change your a free programming with the human voice coming from
25:00
something natural, with your your vocal cords. And as we grow up and
25:04
get older, sometimes those things change sometimes, you know, with uh,
25:11
with women, you know, after they've had children, their voice has changed.
25:18
Us as men, sometimes a voice has a tendency to get deeper,
25:22
you know. Also with time. If I'm doing a lot of singing over
25:26
the years consistently, some people the arrange stretches. You know, I have
25:32
one, I have three ladies. I know that basically we're altold majority of
25:37
the time and in their later years found out, wow, I my voice
25:42
is actually stretched now I'm able to sing soprano. So each person is uniquely
25:49
made. Each person is uniquely different. So we're gonna reach me down to
25:57
all singers. And I know you made should die the one that didn't know
26:03
whether there's a final house of tenor so that's the job of the clinician to
26:07
help you out and let you know where you're below. Okay, okay,
26:11
well yeah, that's that's me. I've always told. I've always been told
26:17
since I was younger. You know, I've been rapping. I love hip
26:19
hop, and the first group I was in, we had a manager.
26:23
She would take us into the studio and critique us and everything, and out
26:30
of everybody in the group, she would say, you have a singing voice,
26:33
like you have a singing voice. But I was like, no,
26:36
I want to rap, you know what I mean? I rap, I
26:38
don't sing, you know, so I never really developed that. So I'm
26:41
curious to know, like, if it's there, if God is giving it
26:45
to me, right, you don't want to the Lord? Is that that
26:48
parable? You don't want to bury your talent, you know what I mean?
26:52
You don't want to to leave it there. And the Lord's like,
26:55
hey, what did you do with that? And we we know what happened
26:59
that parable. We know what that master did to that, that one that
27:02
veries the talent. Yes, what I could tell you is that a lot
27:11
of times you have people that have had the opportunity all along or the gift
27:15
all along and just didn't realize it. And and even with you, it's
27:21
just something to try, and the worst thing you could do is not try.
27:26
And years later, man, I wonder what would have happened. You
27:29
have a lot of and I've provenal quick with this. You have a lot
27:32
of singers that did sing background, never had desire to be in front dining,
27:37
even clerk and it was one of them. He gives his testimony.
27:40
Now he was back across singer and he was good with him, and they
27:42
gave him the mic that one day and the rest was history. You know.
27:48
So, yes, sir, so if you would like to be a
27:53
part, be at the workshop, and you know, and you you see
27:57
me or at least uh your your wife had seen me in action, and
28:04

28:07
doing this? This? This, this this, you know. Yeah,
28:12
we I'm gonna make it a lot of fun. I always keep everybody laughing.
28:18
And again, as well as we want to sound good, we have
28:22
to remember what we're doing. Everything we do as unto God. So if
28:26
you're not having fun doing this, then you know, yes, it's a
28:30

32:19
of the stuff is on RMF. Now I have my own Facebook page.
32:24
I guess I'm old school, and since you said that, I probably need
32:28
to come up a little higher, get some uh, get some uh some
32:32
social media. I don't really have anything right now, but RMF we do
32:37
have let me double check real quick. Uh, I should have this ready.
32:44
I'm sorry, guys. You yeah, brother, So on Facebook,
32:50
you're Jimmy Johnson Facebook on James A. Johnson the Third. Okay, okay,
32:58
but but that's a common So if you put you could put James Johnson
33:01
the third and it'll be at least twenty of us. You could put James
33:07
A. Johnson the third, and I know there's at least three of us,
33:13
you know so and one of the guys because we looked fairly much alike.
33:17
So I'm trying to get this for you guys. Hold on, I'm
33:22
so sorry. I should have had this ready. We do have Instagram,
33:28
we do have page as well, and I don't remember what it is.
33:34
I'm so sorry you guys. I love the name, the the r MF
33:40
right is it? You said repentance in a moment of forgiveness. And I
33:49
came up with this because when I would go and ask some of my previous
33:53
members again I won't mention their names, well you know what I you know,
33:58
I would like to come to you with men. But sister Watermelons came
34:02
up had said I was looking talking by my shoes and we fell out and
34:07
we ain't ever talk. And brothers a woman, you know what? Uh,
34:13
Brother Culcuver with brother let me see Brother Amo was uh, you know
34:19
man, you give me hungry bro. All these people in church, yeah,
34:22
they all got fruit, not food in the spirits, some type of
34:29
fruit, some type of fruit. And so I was like, and I
34:31
kept trying to tell them. I said, there's no way in the world
34:36
you're going to be able to do anything within regards to uh what God truly
34:45
wants gifts coming out repentance. Mm hmm. We don't want your gifts.
34:50
We want you your repentance so God can effectively use your gift. There's a
34:58
lot of gifted folks out there. But when you sing, when you talk,
35:01
when you encourage someone, are they changing? Have you changed? Amen
35:07
to the point where someone can notice a difference if you're telling me if I'm
35:12
out in the world, or I don't know who God is, or I
35:15
know God is an abit taking the time? You know, how am I
35:19
supposed to know that there is a difference with what I'm doing? If you
35:22
look the same talk for saying doing the same thing. I'm come on.
35:29
The whole purpose of the of the Ministry of Christ was to not only say,
35:36
but once we're saved, to change that person's thinking. Okay, we're
35:42
transformed by the renewing of our mind. You know daily I believe you know.
35:46
But you can't do that with an understanding of the word of God.
35:50
You can't do that without obedience. You can't do that without relationship. And
35:55
so you can fool yourself if you want to, or I could just come
35:59
and do this. You know. The main thing we want to introduce the
36:01
folks because you might have singers that's coming to this. We want to introduce
36:06
Christ to you. And it don't take it, don't take long, you
36:10
know, he said, If any man be in Christ, he is a
36:13
new creature. Mm hmm. Old things have passed away. Behold all things
36:16
become new, you know. So don't you want to walk in the newness
36:21
of Christ? Don't you want to walk in the newness of God? Don't
36:23
you want something different? And so that's what that's the main focus. Really,
36:30
that's the main This should be the main focus of industry. And I
36:34
think a lot of choirs have and groups have kind of gotten away from that.
36:37
You know, if I can get an emotional response, then old you
36:43
know, somebody got touched delivery. Well yeah you you you stroke there,
36:47
this this this flash. But when the music's over, like Deryck Cola says,
36:53
when the music stops, what next, you know? And so I'm
37:00
hoping Ruth, this workshop it's more than it's more than just a group of
37:07
folks coming to get at the scene, those of us, those of you
37:09
guys that are coming that no price. You know, you can kind of
37:15
look at the person standing next to you. You know, we're definitely gonna
37:19
be praying, We're definitely you never know, what someone's going through. You
37:21
never know what their situation is. People that know, and I'm gonna get
37:24
off this real quick, but people didn't know. In my twenties, I
37:31
had acquired and I was homeless. Basically, I was living from place to
37:37
place. I was a scuba striver, making seven dollars an hour, twenty
37:44
hours a week. My check you ever take after taxes eighty bucks let for
37:51
food, enough to get a bus passed. And I had a roommate a
37:55
friend that allowed me to stay with them, but they move move to to
38:00
Lana, and so I was, what's up, you know, And so
38:08
you have a lot of people that are going through You never know what someone
38:10
else is going through. So those of us said in about at Christ,
38:14
you know, it's our job to actually come together, you know, and
38:17
do a little more than just praying. Sometimes we got a physically got to
38:22
come out of my hand, my pocket and hand you something, you know.
38:24
Just I mean, that's a whole other subject. I'm sorry because stay
38:29
right here, but it's just when you start talking about the things of God,
38:32
you know, it just takes you to another area. So even today,
38:36
those you guys that are listening, you know, you might not know
38:39
that person that's on the street. You don't know what the situation. You
38:43
know, sometimes we say, well I had to, I could discern somebody's
38:45
astually for two or three dollars and some change help them out. You know,
38:50
you ain't gonna you ain't gonna get it with that five dollars anyway,
38:53
somebody out you know, you know, even if even if they're even they're
38:58
doing something that you might not agree with. You know, you really have
39:00
to hear the voice of God. You know, they might used to find
39:04
out us, get fear or something. You know, it's not your job
39:07
to determine what they're going to use it for. It's your job to let
39:10
them see the God. Amen. Amen, Well, I believe brother,
39:16
that somebody needed to hear that someone really needed to hear. That someone needed
39:22
to hear these words of encouragement, hear instruction, just hear from the Lord.
39:28
And uh, that's that's what we do here. This is what this
39:30
podcast is for. It's a we want to reach people. We want to
39:36
let them know that God loves you. You might be out there in a
39:40
situation where it could be a desperate situation, you think nobody cares about you.
39:45
Nobody loves you, even probably thinking about taking your life, going over
39:50
the edge. Well, we're here to let you know that there is a
39:54
God who created you. Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Every bone,
40:00
every hair, every muscle in your body. He designed it, He
40:05
thought about it. He gave you your own unique identity. He knows the
40:10
hairs upon your head. He loves you so much that he sent his only
40:15
begotten son, Jesus to die for you. Yes, he wants to redeem
40:21
you. He wants to come back into relationship with you. He wants you
40:25
to come back home. You have been accepted by him. You may have
40:30
been rejected by others. There may be people in your life close family members,
40:36
friends, or spouse may have walked out on you, your children,
40:38
your job may have let you go. You probably feel like you have no
40:43
more purpose on this earth. You do. You were created to have a
40:49
relationship with God. You were created to be his child, to be in
40:53
his family and to have fellowship. But that fellowship was broken and because of
41:00
sin one, because Adam sin and plunge the whole human race into this situation.
41:07
And also your individual choices. The sin that you do on a daily
41:13
basis is what's keeping you away from your father, your heavenly Father. So
41:20
the instruction from the way the God is to repent. Yes, right,
41:23
just like this conference says repent. I love it. I love that.
41:28
That's their main message. And what repent does mean is change your mind about
41:34
the way that you're living the things that are offensive to God. See saying
41:38
his lie that he's told the whole world is you can sin and get away
41:43
with it and not suffer any consequences. That's what he said to Eve in
41:47
the garden that yeah, if you disobey God, you'll be blessed. You'll
41:52
be like God. You're gonna get wisdom. He makes it seem like you're
41:55
gonna come up, level up. But he promises you everything and he gives
42:00
you hell. He doesn't tell you about the consequences that will happen when you
42:06
know the Bible says the wages of sin is death. And trust me,
42:10
y'all don't want that. You don't want to be separated from God for eternity.
42:15
So put your faith in trust in Jesus that he died on the cross,
42:20
rose again on a third day. He is right here on this podcast
42:23
waiting to come into your life, waiting to hear your prayer, waiting to
42:27
hear your voice. Cry out to him, cry out to Jesus, say
42:30
Lord, forgive me. I am a sinner. Forgive me. I don't
42:35
want to be separated from you. I want to reconcile our relationship. Come
42:38
into my life, take over, Wash me from my sin, from my
42:44
iniquity, from my wickedness. I want to be in relationship with you.
42:47
Trust me. God will move heaven and earth to come to you and deliver
42:52
you and to heal you and to save you. So amen. So that's
42:59
what we're about. And hit up my brother Jimmy or should I say James
