  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: All my Life Cause I can't explain.
• 0:22
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: It's nothing short of a miracle.
• 0:26
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: I'm here.
• 0:28
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: I've got some blessings that I don't deserve.
• 0:35
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: I've got some scars, but that's how you learn.
• 0:41
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: It's nothing short of a miracle.
• 0:45
  Ron Beebe: I'm here the world is in a mess right now.
• 0:53
  Ron Beebe: I can tell you why it's because Satan's children are running it and he knows his time is short and he's pulling out every stop to try to deceive.
• 1:07
  Ron Beebe: He's a great deceiver, yeah.
• 1:08
  Ron Beebe: Now one thing I've learned about in fighting him because he targets—I've worked in music all my life for the churches.
• 1:16
  Ron Beebe: He was one of the greatest praise worships there was when he was cast out and he targets them.
• 1:22
  Ron Beebe: But when he targets me, I've learned something.
• 1:25
  Ron Beebe: I say to him Satan, you're a liar and you can't tell the truth.
• 1:29
  Ron Beebe: God's the truth and he can't tell a lie.
• 1:32
  Ron Beebe: So I know when it's your voice because you're lying.
• 1:36
  Ron Beebe: And so therefore, if you tell me it can't happen, I believe it will happen because you're telling the opposite.
• 1:41
  Ron Beebe: So sometimes that way gets him off my back.
• 1:44
  Ron Beebe: Don't come telling me this, because I don't believe your lies.
• 1:48
  Ron Beebe: I know what God says.
• 1:51

• 3:34
  Daniel Moore: Well, in the words of the great philosopher Lemony Snicket, miracles are like pimples, because once you start looking for them, you find more than you ever dreamed.
• 3:43
  Daniel Moore: You'd see, this week we have a special treat for you.
• 3:47
  Daniel Moore: I have a special guest here in the studio with me and his name is Ron Beebe and he's had quite the life.
• 3:53
  Daniel Moore: I've sat and listened to him a couple of times tell me story after story of miracles where God's done work in his life, and he's going to be here this week and he's going to be sharing a lot of these miracles with us this week on this week's episode, and so we're glad to have Ron Beebe here on Connecting the Gap.
• 4:14
  Daniel Moore: Well, welcome to the show this week, ron.
• 4:23
  Daniel Moore: We're glad to have you here this week.
• 4:24
  Daniel Moore: Thank you, daniel, I appreciate you stopping by and we're looking forward to this interview and I'm just excited to let you share with everybody what you've been sharing with me.
• 4:35
  Daniel Moore: I think the first time we talked for 15 or 20 minutes probably or something like that, and here before the podcast episode started, we started recording, we was talking again and you shared a whole bunch more.
• 4:45
  Daniel Moore: So it's obvious that God's done a lot of work through your life and he's still doing that to this day.
• 4:51
  Daniel Moore: And I think one thing that I feel like is really important with doing an episode like this is we have so many people out there in the world today, in the believers and the unbelievers realm that really don't believe miracles still happen.
• 5:04
  Daniel Moore: You know, they just don't think that God does a lot of work in people's lives and I think you know some of that probably falls back to the fact that they probably aren't praying for those miracles, or just their belief system just doesn't.
• 5:15
  Daniel Moore: They've grown up not ever believing in any of that at all.
• 5:19
  Daniel Moore: But some of us that pray for those kinds of things and allow God to work, we see those miracles happen and you've definitely had a lot happen in your life.
• 5:28
  Daniel Moore: So what I'd like to do here is we get started off.
• 5:30
  Daniel Moore: Before we get into that part, why don't you just tell us a little bit about yourself, your family, where you're from, where you live now, just anything that you'd like to share with us about yourself?
• 5:41
  Ron Beebe: Well, I was born in 1942 in Miami, Oklahoma, so I'm at the young age of 82.
• 5:48
  Ron Beebe: But my dad was a minister, and we traveled, and I lived all over the world.
• 5:56
  Ron Beebe: Almost, it seems like, grew up mainly in Oregon, but wherever dad's pastorate took us, that's where we went but wherever?
• 6:04
  Ron Beebe: Dad's pastorate took us.
• 6:05
  Ron Beebe: That's where we went, and so I grew up finding new friends all the time, because we were always moving.
• 6:12
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, and you had some military service also.
• 6:18
  Ron Beebe: I went into the service in 1960.
• 6:19
  Ron Beebe: I was in the Air Force, ended up in the medics and I spent four years working for Uncle Sam and enjoyed it, and then, after I got out, I worked as a lab laboratory technician for a while and I worked in hospitals.
• 6:36
  Ron Beebe: But the bad thing about hospitals is they never close.
• 6:41
  Ron Beebe: Yeah they're.
• 6:42
  Ron Beebe: They're open seven days a week, every day of the year, and I got to looking at that and I said, you know, I don't think I like working those weird shifts and so I began to look for something else.
• 6:54
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, so with being the pastor's son and then being in the military, you pretty much are experienced with moving around a lot, I'm sure.
• 7:05
  Daniel Moore: Yes, we did Both of those professions move all the time.
• 7:10
  Daniel Moore: Right they do.
• 7:10
  Daniel Moore: You kind of have to get used to that after a while and I was on the fire department here for 14 years and that was another 24-7 job that had wacky hours and kind of had to get used to those schedules.
• 7:21
  Daniel Moore: So I understand what you're saying about the hospital thing, and it does.
• 7:26
  Daniel Moore: It takes a special breed of person to put up with those kinds of hours all the time, working holidays and birthdays and all that kind of thing.
• 7:34
  Ron Beebe: About the time you put a steak on the grill with friends.
• 7:36
  Ron Beebe: Well, I'd get a call from the hospital.
• 7:39
  Ron Beebe: Have to go stick a person in the test, you know.
• 7:42
  Ron Beebe: So I kind of got tired of that.
• 7:43
  Ron Beebe: Actually, my pastor, I was getting out of the service and I was helping with his music program and he was kind of afraid that I would move off.
• 7:56
  Ron Beebe: And so because I have played piano by ear since I was five and I have a good ear and I actually could sing tenor when I was four and couldn't read words, but I sang in a trio with my mom and dad.
• 8:09
  Ron Beebe: It was a small church and because of that he actually was an experienced piano tuner and so he asked me he said would you like to learn to tune pianos?
• 8:22
  Ron Beebe: And I said no.
• 8:24
  Ron Beebe: He said why not?
• 8:24
  Ron Beebe: I said I don't think I could sit still that long.
• 8:27
  Ron Beebe: But a long story short, that was in the plans and God caused me to do it and I've been tuning since 1963.
• 8:36
  Ron Beebe: Wow.
• 8:37
  Ron Beebe: But I worked for churches mainly and this was a sideline.
• 8:40
  Ron Beebe: It kind of helped me make a living.
• 8:42
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, I always did it, and that's actually almost getting to be a lost art.
• 8:48
  Ron Beebe: It is.
• 8:48
  Ron Beebe: We're all dying off.
• 8:49
  Ron Beebe: They're not making acoustic pianos anymore.
• 8:52
  Daniel Moore: Right.
• 8:53
  Ron Beebe: And it's kind of interesting because generally when you retire, you only want to tune those that you tuned six months ago.
• 9:01
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, because they're easy.
• 9:04
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Ron Beebe: But the're easy.
• 9:06
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, but the situation I've been in, how God has led me and blessed me and done miracles for me.
• 9:14
  Ron Beebe: God says I want you to tune the new ones that you don't know, because you've got something to share with them.
• 9:20
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Ron Beebe: So I'm tuning a lot of new pianos.
• 9:22
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, a little harder, but it's more pleasing because God uses me.
• 9:29
  Daniel Moore: Right, yeah, and you know, that's one thing about God when he wants us to step out and do something, he always has a reason for that, and so it's always good to follow where he leads us, and we'll actually we'll get into that here later on into this episode.
• 9:45
  Daniel Moore: And I do want to say my, my dog just chimed in there for a little bit.
• 9:49
  Daniel Moore: Um, hopefully they won't bark too often, but if they do they're they're down there doing their thing.
• 9:55
  Daniel Moore: So yeah they're just enjoying themselves.
• 9:57
  Daniel Moore: So, as far as family goes um have children, you're married.
• 10:03
  Ron Beebe: My children are grown and uh, and my son, he's now a train engineer.
• 10:08
  Ron Beebe: He, he was a airborne ranger in the army oh, wow and he came back and of course he gave me a hard time being in the air force and I knew what he wanted to hear and because he told me how every night he slept on the ground and, you know, in the jungle the jungle.
• 10:24
  Ron Beebe: And I said well, son, I said you think you had it tough.
• 10:26
  Ron Beebe: I said we were going to have survival training in the Air Force and learn to survive under any circumstance, but I said it rained, so they canceled it.
• 10:37
  Daniel Moore: And he really liked that.
• 10:38
  Ron Beebe: And I have a daughter that lives in Orlando and she's a real estate agent now, but she is one that believes God will do anything and she receives miracles daily.
• 10:50
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, we have two sons.
• 10:51
  Daniel Moore: One of them was airborne and he was over in Italy for about three and a half years and our other son just went straight into the National Guard and they were both Army.
• 11:02
  Daniel Moore: But even between those two it was funny the competition mindset that was there.
• 11:07
  Daniel Moore: One was better than the other.
• 11:09
  Daniel Moore: You always had this stuff going on between each other.
• 11:11
  Daniel Moore: But it's always interesting when you talk to people that are in different branches of the military how they rib each other and tease each other.
• 11:20
  Daniel Moore: Their branch is always better than the other one.
• 11:24
  Ron Beebe: You never forget what you learn in the military.
• 11:27
  Daniel Moore: You learn some good things, oh yeah, definitely Discipline and all kinds of it.
• 11:30
  Daniel Moore: I've seen, literally seen people.
• 11:32
  Daniel Moore: I didn't go to the military myself but I've seen so many people go into the military that had discipline issues and you know just crazy, and they come out a total different person.
• 11:43
  Ron Beebe: They do.
• 11:43
  Daniel Moore: It's just amazing, the transformation.
• 11:45
  Daniel Moore: Well, we'll go ahead and get into this week's discussion, as I kind of mentioned here as we got started.
• 11:52
  Daniel Moore: I want to talk a little bit about miracles this week and the church that I go to.
• 11:57
  Daniel Moore: Over the last three or four years, we've been having a season that's actually still continuing to this day where we've just had thousands of miracles that's been happening, some of them creative miracles and, you know, some of them just miracles of provision, just about any kind of a miracle that you can think of.
• 12:14
  Daniel Moore: We've just had instances of that taking place and it really seems like, you know, god's just—there's a transition period right now.
• 12:20
  Daniel Moore: It seems like and a lot of—I've talked to other people at other churches that are having the same thing happen and God's just on the move.
• 12:27
  Daniel Moore: And it really intrigued me when I was talking to you the first time about your story and what you're sharing with me.
• 12:35
  Daniel Moore: And so what I want to do here at this point, I just want to go ahead and just have you start back as this started.
• 12:41
  Daniel Moore: As a toddler, you had your first miracle as a baby.
• 12:45
  Daniel Moore: So let's just start back there and let's just work our way from there and just work our way forward and tell us what God's done for you.
• 12:53
  Ron Beebe: Well, I, of course, was too young to remember this.
• 12:56
  Ron Beebe: So this one I had to remember what my mom and dad told me.
• 12:59
  Ron Beebe: But I was a toddler and I had double pneumonia and they admitted me and way back then that was a problem.
• 13:07
  Ron Beebe: They didn't really know how to deal with it and I was too weak to nurse and I couldn't drink the bottle or anything and the doctors basically said he's going to die.
• 13:20
  Ron Beebe: He can't even eat food and we probably think he'll die in a week or less.
• 13:25
  Ron Beebe: And anyway, my dad was an old-time Pentecostal preacher and he believed in miracles.
• 13:33
  Ron Beebe: But anyway, he had had a lady evangelist that had held him a revival and she showed up at the hospital and she wanted to pray for me.
• 13:43
  Ron Beebe: And he said, of course.
• 13:44
  Ron Beebe: And she came in and anointed me and prayed for me and within an hour or two I started setting up and playing and wanting to eat.
• 13:53
  Ron Beebe: They fed me, they sent me home, I was well.
• 13:58
  Ron Beebe: That was the first one that I know of in my life, that I've had many of them since then.
• 14:03
  Daniel Moore: Now, your parents.
• 14:06
  Daniel Moore: Did they have the same thing happen in their life as they did their ministry?
• 14:10
  Daniel Moore: Did they see the extent of the miracles that you have in your life, or has this seemed something that's kind of been more something that's happened to you he had?
• 14:19
  Ron Beebe: a tremendous ministry of delivering people and helping people.
• 14:23
  Ron Beebe: He did something that's not heard of very much, but my dad cast out a few devils and they talked to him and they said we're going to kill this person?
• 14:32
  Ron Beebe: He said no, you're not.
• 14:34
  Ron Beebe: He went where angels fear to tread.
• 14:37
  Ron Beebe: I never had that experience much, but my dad always believed.
• 14:43
  Ron Beebe: I remember one time when I was in the service and he wanted to come out.
• 14:48
  Ron Beebe: He was in Oregon.
• 14:49
  Ron Beebe: I was in Texas, abilene, texas, and mom wrote me with snail mail that's all it was back then and she said your dad wants to come out and see you and said he's prayed and asked God for $500 to make the trip because he pastored little church and they didn't pay much but he just would ask God for what he needed.
• 15:09
  Ron Beebe: And so about a week later she wrote me and said he's got it, said he got the money, so we're going to come.
• 15:17
  Ron Beebe: And then a few days later she wrote me and said well, your aunt and uncle, the transmission went out of their car so he gave it away but said he's going to pray in $500 more.
• 15:28
  Ron Beebe: And, sure enough, about a week later he said I've got it and I'm coming.
• 15:32
  Ron Beebe: So he believed God for financial miracles.
• 15:35
  Ron Beebe: You know, to deed whatever he needed.
• 15:38
  Ron Beebe: He never wanted to be rich, but God always supplied his need.
• 15:41
  Ron Beebe: But he was quick to give it.
• 15:43
  Ron Beebe: You know, if he had it and someone needed it, he'd give it away.
• 15:47
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, and as a child I saw some demons be cast out as well.
• 15:53
  Daniel Moore: I grew up Pentecostal, and that's something you don't see much anymore either, you don't?
• 15:58
  Daniel Moore: It's not as common, but it's amazing, though, how, over the centuries, over the different generations I guess is the best way to put that how you can see God moving in different ways, you know, over time, it's all in his time.
• 16:13
  Daniel Moore: It's all in his timing.
• 16:14
  Daniel Moore: Yes.
• 16:15
  Ron Beebe: And I believe that we're headed for one of the biggest revivals we've ever had.
• 16:19
  Daniel Moore: I agree.
• 16:21
  Ron Beebe: The thing that I go to the sheep shed.
• 16:24
  Ron Beebe: I worked for Dr Mack Evans for 21 years at central Christian center and then he had to kind of retire because of his health problems and so I went one route, he went another and then God bought us, brought us back together and I didn't know he had started the sheep shed.
• 16:39
  Ron Beebe: So I helped get him back on television because I did television and music for him, and then I told him I said I'm retired, I want to volunteer my work so I won't be required to do as much.
• 16:52
  Ron Beebe: But anyway, when I first went there, god showed me in a dream our church and I saw it so full and running over that people were standing trying to look in the windows and when, uh, when they were that many, some of the members would get up and give up their pew and say I, you come in and you can sit there.
• 17:19
  Ron Beebe: And I saw that happening.
• 17:21
  Ron Beebe: And then, because of the way the stuff that Mac has taught us about what's coming down the pike, he said there will be times that you'll have money but there won't be any food on the shelves.
• 17:34
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 17:35
  Ron Beebe: And he said it'd be worse than back in the Depression time.
• 17:39
  Ron Beebe: But he said when people get hungry and they can't feed their family, time.
• 17:45
  Ron Beebe: But he said when people get hungry and they can't feed their family and you know, the Bible talks about in the end time, where it take a wheelbarrow full of gold to buy a loaf of bread.
• 17:53
  Ron Beebe: And basically he said a man will work a full day's wage and it'll only feed one person.
• 17:56
  Ron Beebe: It won't feed his whole family.
• 17:58
  Ron Beebe: All right, when we get to that point we need God.
• 18:03
  Ron Beebe: And this will be one of the greatest revivals we've ever seen.
• 18:06
  Ron Beebe: In fact, he preached something that I never had caught before In one of his sermons he was preaching about at the end time where it says there'll be a falling away and I had never heard this, but he's quite a scholar of the Greek and he said that also can be interpreted in the Greek a catching away.
• 18:25
  Ron Beebe: And he said I used to, didn't know, didn't have an idea whether I was pre or post, but he said I was pan.
• 18:32
  Ron Beebe: I figured it'd work out either way.
• 18:34
  Ron Beebe: But he said I really believe that could mean there's a catching away, although people are falling away from God.
• 18:39
  Ron Beebe: But here's another thing that we believe is coming down the pike and that is they started off killing our babies.
• 18:48
  Ron Beebe: Now it's a common thing.
• 18:50
  Ron Beebe: They want to even raise it to where you can wait till they're five years old to decide if you want to keep them.
• 18:55
  Ron Beebe: But I won't get into that.
• 18:57
  Ron Beebe: But the fact is I understand in Canada already doctors are authorized.
• 19:02
  Ron Beebe: If you want to die, they'll help you.
• 19:06
  Ron Beebe: Well, it's going to move to the United States and I'm afraid that it's going to get I don't mean afraid, I don't like to use that word, I don't fear it because God's got this.
• 19:16
  Ron Beebe: But if it gets to the point where that, as we know, some of them are wanting to kill off the old people because they think we can't feed them all, if it gets to the point where the doctor has permission that if he thinks you're not pulling your weight and I think it will get there then older people quit going to the doctors.
• 19:38
  Ron Beebe: Therefore, they can't get their pills, they can't get what they need and they have to have a miracle or they're not going to make it.
• 19:45
  Ron Beebe: And that's what I think is coming.
• 19:48
  Ron Beebe: I think we're going to see the time when the need for God will be so great that men will fall to their knees and say God, what have I got to do?
• 19:57
  Ron Beebe: How have I got to get close enough to you to have a miracle where I can have food for my family and healing for my family?
• 20:04
  Ron Beebe: We're headed my family.
• 20:05
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, we're headed for it.
• 20:06
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, we are.
• 20:06
  Ron Beebe: And we're excited about it.
• 20:08
  Daniel Moore: Yep?
• 20:08
  Daniel Moore: Well, that mirrors the whole teachings of the word.
• 20:12
  Daniel Moore: Where in the valleys, it's always when the people reach out the most when they get to their lowest and the worst point in their life and they realize that has to get our attention it does you know, and you know it's crazy that it takes that to get ourselves out of ourselves, but it seems like that's how that works.
• 20:28
  Daniel Moore: We always have to get to the very bottom of the barrel before we get over the selfishness inside of us to realize that, hey, you know I can't do this, god You're going to have to help me, and you know that seems to be a cycle all through time.
• 20:41
  Ron Beebe: Well, the world is in a mess right now, all through time.
• 20:44
  Ron Beebe: Well, the world is in a mess right now?
• 20:45
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, but I can tell you why it's because Satan's children are running it.
• 20:50
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, exactly.
• 20:52
  Ron Beebe: And he knows his time is short and he's pulling out every stop to try to deceive.
• 20:58
  Ron Beebe: He's a great deceiver.
• 20:59
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Ron Beebe: Now one thing I've learned about in fighting him because he targets.
• 21:04
  Ron Beebe: I've worked in music all my life for the churches.
• 21:07
  Ron Beebe: He was one of the greatest praise worships there was when he was cast out and he targets them.
• 21:13
  Ron Beebe: But when he targets me, I've learned something.
• 21:16
  Ron Beebe: I say to him Satan, you're a liar and you can't tell the truth, and God's the truth, and he can't tell a lie.
• 21:23
  Ron Beebe: So I know when it's your voice because you're lying and so therefore, if you tell me it can't happen, I believe it will happen because you're telling the opposite.
• 21:33
  Ron Beebe: So sometimes that way gets him off my back.
• 21:36
  Ron Beebe: Don't come telling me this, because I don't believe your lies.
• 21:39
  Ron Beebe: I know what God says.
• 21:41
  Daniel Moore: And having that faith like that is what instigates these miracles for God to do things.
• 21:47
  Daniel Moore: If we have faith in God and we truly believe in him and we know that he is going to do what he said he's going to do and there's no doubt about it God rewards us for that and you know, in just all kinds of different ways, and I know that you had a significant thing that happened to you in your life where you had a stroke.
• 22:05
  Daniel Moore: I did Tell us what happened with that.
• 22:08
  Ron Beebe: It was three years ago.
• 22:09
  Ron Beebe: Christmas Three years ago.
• 22:12
  Ron Beebe: It was right about probably the 23rd of Christmas.
• 22:17
  Ron Beebe: I know I was in hospital at that time.
• 22:20
  Ron Beebe: I was getting ready to go tune a piano and.
• 22:25
  Ron Beebe: I had my truck warming up.
• 22:26
  Ron Beebe: It was December and I came in to use the restroom and all of a sudden my mouth drew my arm.
• 22:36
  Ron Beebe: You know, I had all the symptoms of a stroke.
• 22:39
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 22:40
  Ron Beebe: And my wife's name is Bunny, and I started hollering and she said what?
• 22:46
  Ron Beebe: I can't understand you.
• 22:47
  Ron Beebe: And finally she come in to see and she took one look and she said oh my, so you're having a stroke.
• 22:51
  Ron Beebe: And I shook my head yes, well, she got me to the hospital right here in the show, probably in four minutes.
• 23:00
  Ron Beebe: She was really in a hurry.
• 23:02
  Ron Beebe: But they checked me in and they said oh, you're having a severe stroke.
• 23:06
  Ron Beebe: They asked me questions like what's your name?
• 23:09
  Ron Beebe: I would just stare at them.
• 23:10
  Ron Beebe: I didn't know how to answer.
• 23:11
  Ron Beebe: Say, can you touch your nose?
• 23:13
  Ron Beebe: I'd stare at them like I don't know how.
• 23:16
  Ron Beebe: I knew what they were saying but I could not respond to anything that they did.
• 23:20
  Ron Beebe: And so they admitted me.
• 23:26
  Ron Beebe: They did all of the CAT scans and MRIs and all of that kind of stuff.
• 23:28
  Ron Beebe: They told Bunny, my wife.
• 23:30
  Ron Beebe: They said he's had a severe stroke, said he's lucky to be alive.
• 23:36
  Ron Beebe: We don't know if we can rehabilitate him, but that's our goal.
• 23:41
  Ron Beebe: We're going to you know, we'll admit him and we'll start doing what we can to help him.
• 23:46
  Ron Beebe: But we can't make any promises because it's pretty severe.
• 23:50
  Ron Beebe: Well, they did admit me and of course we have about 400 in our congregation and they were all praying, but my wife was staying up in the hospital with me and she couldn't sleep and she had fear I'm going to lose my husband, he's going to die, and fear is the opposite of faith.
• 24:11
  Ron Beebe: Because I asked God later who prayed the prayer of faith.
• 24:15
  Ron Beebe: I'd just like to know, and I'll get to that in a minute, but anyway.
• 24:20
  Ron Beebe: So they admitted me that in a minute, but anyway, so they admitted me.
• 24:22
  Ron Beebe: They didn't have me hooked up to IVs at this time, but they were giving me morphine every two hours and so I was just laying in the bed.
• 24:33
  Ron Beebe: Basically that's it.
• 24:34
  Ron Beebe: I didn't do anything.
• 24:34
  Ron Beebe: And this was about the second night that I was in there and Bunny said she was trying to sleep and couldn't because she was full of fear and it was dark, it was wee hours in the morning, wasn't daylight yet, and she said I suddenly I sensed the presence of God and his angels around your bed, said I knew it, I couldn't see them, but said it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck and on my arms.
• 25:03
  Ron Beebe: I had never experienced anything like that.
• 25:06
  Ron Beebe: But I said God's got this.
• 25:09
  Ron Beebe: And she went to sleep for the first time for a night or two.
• 25:13
  Ron Beebe: Well, in a few minutes she heard a noise and it was me coming out of the bathroom and I had not realized exactly what had happened.
• 25:22
  Ron Beebe: I just came out of the bathroom and I had not realized exactly what had happened.
• 25:25
  Ron Beebe: I just came out of the bathroom and she said what are you doing?
• 25:29
  Ron Beebe: And I said I had to go to the bathroom.
• 25:32
  Ron Beebe: She said what's your name?
• 25:34
  Ron Beebe: And I still didn't understand.
• 25:37
  Ron Beebe: I said you're my wife and you don't know my name.
• 25:39
  Ron Beebe: And so anyway, I didn't understand.
• 25:44
  Ron Beebe: And she says yesterday you couldn't tell me your name.
• 25:47
  Ron Beebe: And then I remembered.
• 25:48
  Ron Beebe: I remembered all the things they'd told me, but I realized then I had been healed of this stroke.
• 25:54
  Ron Beebe: Wow.
• 25:55
  Ron Beebe: So I came out and I jumped up on my bed and it was about breakfast time and they'd brought a tray and I started fixing my breakfast and sitting there and fixing my coffee.
• 26:04
  Ron Beebe: Well, she got on the phone, called Dr Mack and told him what happened and he was rejoicing.
• 26:09
  Ron Beebe: And finally she said I hear the nurses coming.
• 26:11
  Ron Beebe: I want to talk to them.
• 26:12
  Ron Beebe: So she hung up and the nurses were changing to the guard, I call it.
• 26:16
  Ron Beebe: But they stood outside of my door but you could hear them talking and they said this is Mr Beebe, said he's had a severe stroke.
• 26:23
  Ron Beebe: We don't know what we can do for him.
• 26:25
  Ron Beebe: We hope to rehabilitate him in time, but we're not sure that we can do anything for him, but we're going to try.
• 26:31
  Ron Beebe: And she went over to the door and said you want to see my Christmas miracle?
• 26:35
  Ron Beebe: And she swung the door.
• 26:38
  Ron Beebe: They said yes.
• 26:38
  Ron Beebe: She swung the door open and I picked up with my right hand my cup of coffee, which my right hand I couldn't do anything with saluted them, said morning ladies.
• 26:46
  Ron Beebe: And they freaked out.
• 26:49
  Daniel Moore: I can imagine.
• 26:51
  Ron Beebe: So anyway, it was kind of funny because they had already the doctors already started to line out my recovery, to line out my recovery.
• 27:00
  Ron Beebe: And so between then and the time that he got around to dismissing me, the doctor was shocked but he believed it because he said it's obvious, said you're well, and he said you weren't.
• 27:15
  Ron Beebe: But anyway, the first guy come in and he said now I'm here to rehabilitate you, said I understand, you have a tub shower.
• 27:22
  Ron Beebe: I said yes, sir.
• 27:23
  Ron Beebe: He said well, how deep is it?
• 27:26
  Ron Beebe: And I said well, it's about like that trash.
• 27:29
  Ron Beebe: Can, he said well, can you step over it?
• 27:31
  Ron Beebe: And I jumped out of bed and jumped over it and swung my arms and jumped back over and he said whoa?
• 27:38
  Ron Beebe: He said I don't even know why I'm here.
• 27:40
  Ron Beebe: Well, then he left.
• 27:43
  Ron Beebe: Then another person came and said we're going to walk you today.
• 27:46
  Ron Beebe: We're going to try to walk you.
• 27:47
  Ron Beebe: Well, I ran out in the hall and they said oh no, no, we got to put a belt on you.
• 27:51
  Ron Beebe: I said I'll race you down there.
• 27:53
  Ron Beebe: I said I can go the other end of the hall as fast as you can.
• 27:56
  Ron Beebe: She said there's steps.
• 27:57
  Ron Beebe: I said I don't care, I'm healed.
• 27:59
  Ron Beebe: And we walked down and I ran the steps and I didn't put a belt on me.
• 28:03
  Ron Beebe: She said I can't understand it, but you're well, and so everything they had done.
• 28:09
  Ron Beebe: And then the doctor he knew I played keyboard, you know, I've been musical all my life and I'm a piano tuner.
• 28:16
  Ron Beebe: And so he said now, when you get home, you place your fingers where you know they go and your brain will begin to make a new path, you know.
• 28:28
  Ron Beebe: And I said no, Doc, I said I've had a miracle.
• 28:31
  Ron Beebe: I will play it when I walk in the door.
• 28:33
  Ron Beebe: And I said Bunny will follow me with her iPhone and she will record it.
• 28:39
  Ron Beebe: And I did.
• 28:40
  Ron Beebe: I walked right into my keyboard and immediately played, just like I always had.
• 28:45
  Ron Beebe: And just a side note on that, they did release me and I went home and I got to telling my wife.
• 28:52
  Ron Beebe: I said I got to do one more project, and I was 80, then 79.
• 28:56
  Ron Beebe: And I said I've got to remodel that bathroom.
• 29:00
  Ron Beebe: And so she and I, and a plumber that I hired to help me for the things I couldn't do in six weeks time we tore all the tile off the wall and stripped the floor, and then I said, while I'm at it, I'm going to do the hallway and the kitchen and the front room and we're going to retile all that and she and I mainly did it.
• 29:23
  Ron Beebe: I only got him a couple of Saturdays and he did our house's total concrete and he had to help me with the plumbing and the wall and stuff.
• 29:31
  Ron Beebe: But we did the rest of it and we did it by ourselves and so I was well.
• 29:39
  Ron Beebe: But then to go on with that, the VA doesn't necessarily believe in miracles, and so they contacted me and this was probably six or eight weeks after I'd gotten out of the hospital and they said we have sent all of your records and your tests down to our hospital in Arkansas, said we want you to go down and meet with our neurologist.
• 30:04
  Ron Beebe: I said okay, and they said he's already got your records and he would like to check you over and see what he says.
• 30:12
  Ron Beebe: So I went down and he was a good doctor.
• 30:16
  Ron Beebe: He was from Haiti and I don't think he believed even in God, because I asked him to believe in miracles and he said no.
• 30:23
  Ron Beebe: Well, he had all of my records and he looked at all of them in the computer and all the x-rays and every test they ran, and he spent about an hour and a half with me.
• 30:35
  Ron Beebe: He checked me over everything he could think of.
• 30:38
  Ron Beebe: He said I don't know how to explain this.
• 30:41
  Ron Beebe: He said you're just about 80 years old.
• 30:45
  Ron Beebe: You got the body of a 60-year-old, you got the bones of a 60-year-old.
• 30:49
  Ron Beebe: And he said I don't find one thing wrong with you.
• 30:53
  Ron Beebe: And I said that's because God healed me.
• 30:55
  Daniel Moore: Yep.
• 30:56
  Daniel Moore: Glory be to God, yes.
• 30:59
  Ron Beebe: I mean people can say well, I don't believe in miracles.
• 31:02
  Ron Beebe: Well, that's like trying to convince me the chocolate cake donut.
• 31:06
  Ron Beebe: You may have never tasted chocolate cake, but I have, and I know it's real and I've experienced a miracle and nobody could ever convince me otherwise, because I've seen them all my life and I'm still seeing them.
• 31:16
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, I can't let my wife hear you tell about the tile thing.
• 31:20
  Daniel Moore: I won't let my wife hear you tell about the tile thing.
• 31:24
  Daniel Moore: I won't have any excuse for not remodeling my house.
• 31:25
  Daniel Moore: She's always got a project for me and I'm like I'm getting too old for that.
• 31:27
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, I can't use that excuse anymore.
• 31:29
  Daniel Moore: We're going to take a break here for a moment.
• 31:32
  Daniel Moore: Give you a chance to stretch your legs, maybe get another cup of coffee.
• 31:35
  Daniel Moore: We're with Ron Beebe this week, as he's talking about the miracles that God has performed in his life, over his lifetime.
• 31:43
  Daniel Moore: We're just barely touching the tip of the iceberg with everything that's happened to him.
• 31:47
  Daniel Moore: We're going to continue, though, here with the second half, and we'll continue our discussion this week on the miracles that he's had in his life, and we'll be back right after this.
• 32:05
  Daniel Moore: Have you ever felt burdened, broken or worthless?
• 32:08
  Daniel Moore: The other day I was digging through my wallet and came across an old, wrinkled $20 bill.
• 32:12
  Daniel Moore: If I offered you that bill, would you take it, no matter what I do to it, that $20 bill has value because of what it is, not how it looks or where it's been.
• 32:24
  Daniel Moore: You may feel worthless, but you're not.
• 32:26
  Daniel Moore: You still have value to Jesus.
• 32:28
  Daniel Moore: To learn more, call 888-NEED-HIM or chat with us live at needhimorg.
• 32:36
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: I've got miracles, oh miracles, a million little miracles, miracles, a million little miracles, miracles, oh miracles.
• 32:48
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: Count your miracles, one, two, three, four.
• 32:58
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: I can't even count them all.
• 33:00
  Daniel Moore: Good.
• 33:01
  Daniel Moore: Welcome back to this week's episode of Connecting the Gap.
• 33:06
  Daniel Moore: I'm Daniel Moore, your host.
• 33:07
  Daniel Moore: Thank you for joining us this week.
• 33:08
  Daniel Moore: We've got an awesome episode for you, and you've been listening the first half.
• 33:12
  Daniel Moore: I'm sure you've been very intrigued with the stories that Ron's been sharing about the way that God has worked in his life, and so, without further ado, we're going to go ahead and get back into this week's conversation and wrap up this week's episode with Ron Beebe.
• 33:27
  Daniel Moore: So as we were talking, you told me about another miracle, about when a freezer went out on you.
• 33:35
  Ron Beebe: These are just little miracles that I have happened every day.
• 33:39
  Ron Beebe: Our freezer went out and we lost all of our meat.
• 33:42
  Ron Beebe: Mac had told us you need to have six months worth of food put away, and so on.
• 33:46
  Ron Beebe: I have happened every day.
• 33:47
  Ron Beebe: Our freezer went out and we lost all of our meat.
• 33:49
  Ron Beebe: Mac had told us you need to have six months' worth of food put away and so on, and we're trying to do that.
• 33:54
  Ron Beebe: But we lost everything in it and so it kind of got me down.
• 33:56
  Ron Beebe: But you know, bunny said well, what are we going to do?
• 33:58
  Ron Beebe: I said we're going to give it to God.
• 33:59
  Ron Beebe: I've learned something about when you give something to God, if you take it back you're saying God, you can't do it.
• 34:06
  Ron Beebe: But I can, and that's the stupidest thing you can possibly do.
• 34:09
  Ron Beebe: So if you're going to give something to God, don't ever take it back.
• 34:12
  Ron Beebe: And so, anyway, we gave it to God and probably six weeks went on and we went to Carl Junction for a grandson kindergarten thing.
• 34:26
  Ron Beebe: It was Grandparents' Day, so we went for that.
• 34:29
  Ron Beebe: Well, generally when I'm in Carl Junction, I go back through Webb City and come the highway back to Neosho.
• 34:34
  Ron Beebe: Well, I have a sister that lives in Seneca and we don't visit a whole lot.
• 34:41
  Ron Beebe: I mean we love each other.
• 34:42
  Ron Beebe: And we don't visit a whole lot.
• 34:44
  Ron Beebe: I mean we love each other, we just are traveling in different circles.
• 34:46
  Ron Beebe: But she had actually come to see me two weeks before that, and so I didn't understand what God was trying to tell me.
• 34:52
  Ron Beebe: But I pray God lead me and he will talk to your heart.
• 34:56
  Ron Beebe: He doesn't speak to you literally, but he will tell you things.
• 34:59
  Ron Beebe: And so when I started to leave, carl Junction, god says, go through Seneca and if your sister's in the yard doing yard work, stop and visit her If she's not go home.
• 35:14
  Ron Beebe: I told Bunny.
• 35:14
  Ron Beebe: I said that's the craziest thing I ever heard, but I feel like that's what God's telling me.
• 35:18
  Ron Beebe: I said she was just at our house two weeks before and I don't know why, but this is what he's telling me to do.
• 35:26
  Ron Beebe: So that's what we're going to do.
• 35:27
  Ron Beebe: Well, I never mentioned to her when she's at my house about losing the meat.
• 35:31
  Ron Beebe: I didn't even think about it.
• 35:33
  Ron Beebe: We'd done giving it to God.
• 35:36
  Ron Beebe: Well, we went by and she was in the yard.
• 35:40
  Ron Beebe: So we stopped and we visited for about 20 minutes and finally Bunny said well, we got to go home.
• 35:47
  Ron Beebe: We're having a thing at the church tomorrow and I've got to make chili.
• 35:51
  Ron Beebe: And Debbie, my sister, said well, do you need any meat?
• 35:55
  Ron Beebe: And Bunny, not thinking, says no, no, we don't.
• 35:59
  Ron Beebe: And God says wake up.
• 36:01
  Ron Beebe: And I said yes, yes, we do need meat.
• 36:04
  Ron Beebe: I said we lost all of ours in a freezer.
• 36:14
  Ron Beebe: Well, she said good.
• 36:14
  Ron Beebe: I said what do you mean good?
• 36:15
  Ron Beebe: She says I got four freezers that are level full with meat and my husband just left Colorado with a big elk that he shot and he's giving me till he gets home to get rid of enough meat to put that elk in there.
• 36:25
  Ron Beebe: And she totally refilled my freezer.
• 36:28
  Daniel Moore: Oh wow, that is amazing.
• 36:30
  Ron Beebe: She did not know.
• 36:31
  Ron Beebe: I never told her.
• 36:32
  Ron Beebe: But God, that's how he works.
• 36:35
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 36:36
  Ron Beebe: And you don't need to know when God sends you, you just need to go.
• 36:40
  Ron Beebe: And I've always said, when I'm trying to get God's will on something like if there's a door ahead and I think he wants me to go through it, I say now, god, I'm walking towards that door because I feel like that's what you want me to do, but if you don't want me to, you shut it or you give me a nudge to turn me, and I will turn real quickly because I already learned you know what's best and I don't.
• 37:06
  Ron Beebe: And in fact, but anyway, I head for the door and I say, god, I'm walking slowly, you got time, turn me, turn me, turn me, please, if I'm not supposed to go through it and I've had him turn me and I've had him other times not do it and let me go through it.
• 37:23
  Ron Beebe: But I go through with a confidence, even if I made a mistake, I did it believing this is what you want me to do, and God honors that.
• 37:30
  Daniel Moore: Yes, he does.
• 37:31
  Ron Beebe: Sometimes we make a mistake, but if we feel like we're doing what God tells us, he works with that.
• 37:36
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 37:38
  Ron Beebe: But one day I was telling Bunny, I said you know, I was praying and I asked God for wisdom.
• 37:44
  Ron Beebe: And I said I told him I don't care about riches, I don't even want riches.
• 37:50
  Ron Beebe: You supply my needs, and that's fine, but I want wisdom, like Solomon had.
• 37:56
  Ron Beebe: And God spoke to my heart.
• 37:59
  Ron Beebe: He doesn't speak to you out loud, but he spoke to my heart.
• 38:02
  Ron Beebe: And he said I gave you wisdom and you didn't use it.
• 38:06
  Ron Beebe: And I said what do you mean, lord?
• 38:09
  Ron Beebe: And he brought to my memory all of the times that God told me what to do and I didn't do it.
• 38:16
  Ron Beebe: I did what I wanted to do.
• 38:18
  Ron Beebe: He said it cost you money, it hurt you, it hurt your family, it hurt your family, it hurts your friends.
• 38:23
  Ron Beebe: It was not a good result.
• 38:25
  Ron Beebe: And it's all because I told you what to do and you did the opposite.
• 38:29
  Ron Beebe: And from that time on we give everything the wisdom test.
• 38:38
  Ron Beebe: And I say, god, I won't do it until I'm sure that's what you want, because I want what you want for me, because you see down the road where I don't, and if I do what you want me to do, that's all that matters to me.
• 38:47
  Ron Beebe: And so we've tried to live that way and, believe me, it's a blessed life.
• 38:53
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, and you know, when you first started that story and you talked about how God told you to go by her house instead of going the other way, that's the first thought that crossed my mind is how many times do we, you know, god speaks something to us, but we blow it off?
• 39:08
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 39:08
  Daniel Moore: You know we just it's just a passing thought, you know, we just don't think twice about it.
• 39:13
  Daniel Moore: And it really does.
• 39:15
  Daniel Moore: It makes you think, well, what all miracles have I missed?
• 39:17
  Daniel Moore: You know, it's like and we have.
• 39:19
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, because God he wants us as a personal friend.
• 39:23
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, the fact is is we don't have him a personal friend.
• 39:29
  Ron Beebe: I once used it as an example and this is kind of off the wall.
• 39:37
  Ron Beebe: But if I married my wife and then after the ceremony I said I'll see you next week, and I left and of course, didn't show up next week because I decided I wanted to go to the lake, when I got around to coming back, do you think she'd still be there?
• 39:51
  Ron Beebe: Do you think we'd still be married?
• 39:53
  Ron Beebe: Probably, not but people think that they make a deal with God and you know, I want you to come in and be my personal Savior and then they don't show up for a long time to even see him again be my personal savior, and then they don't show up for a long time to even see him again.
• 40:06
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, I question their relationship with God.
• 40:10
  Ron Beebe: I agree, yeah, he wants a relationship.
• 40:11
  Ron Beebe: He doesn't just want you to pray the prayer of faith.
• 40:12
  Ron Beebe: So you can go to heaven, right?
• 40:13
  Ron Beebe: He said I want to be your friend, I want to guide you, I want to bless you, I want to touch you.
• 40:17
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, the you know, the meaning behind a relationship is it's ongoing.
• 40:21
  Daniel Moore: Exactly, it doesn't stop Right.
• 40:23
  Daniel Moore: And that's the thing I think we have to keep in our minds that whenever we have, we want this relationship with God and when we do get that, we need to make sure that we nurture that relationship.
• 40:33
  Daniel Moore: He's always there, waiting on us to make the steps and to follow his calling and what he has for us to do, and it goes both ways.
• 40:41
  Daniel Moore: It does.
• 40:41
  Daniel Moore: You know we've got to make sure that we stay on track and follow his plan.
• 40:46
  Ron Beebe: We've got to want that yes, priorities.
• 40:48
  Ron Beebe: You see, we have a tendency, from a time or little to I can do that myself.
• 40:52
  Ron Beebe: You learn to tell you I can do it and we think we can do everything.
• 40:56
  Ron Beebe: But the fact is we do it so much terrible Without him, we're nothing we do it so much terrible right to what?
• 41:05
  Ron Beebe: we're nothing right, yeah, and he knows what's right, he knows what's going to happen.
• 41:07
  Ron Beebe: We don't right, so we're gambling every time.
• 41:08
  Ron Beebe: We do anything and make a choice, yeah, and so I've got where I just don't want to make choices without getting god's opinion.
• 41:14
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, and he will give it if you listen.
• 41:17
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, but we're listening, saying god, I want to do this and I'm going to do it, but I'll listen to do this and I'm going to do it, but I'll listen to your opinion, but I'm still going to do it.
• 41:23
  Ron Beebe: No, you're not listening.
• 41:24
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 41:25
  Ron Beebe: And if you want him to speak to your heart, he will.
• 41:28
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, it's very good advice.
• 41:29
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, well, I know that with the stroke and one thing that does happen is when God does work a miracle in your life usually with that miracle it's going to have a domino effect and it's going to trigger some other situations in your life where it happens, and I know you shared a story with me about the roof on your house.
• 41:48
  Elevation Worship/Maverick City: Oh.
• 41:49
  Daniel Moore: And the stroke came into that story a little bit, so share with us about that one.
• 41:53
  Ron Beebe: This was shortly after the stroke, it was in December, but anyway, in January I got a letter from my insurance company and they said unless you replace your roof at your cost, we will cancel you in three months.
• 42:15
  Ron Beebe: And I didn't even know for sure it needed it, but I sure didn't expect that.
• 42:23
  Ron Beebe: Right.
• 42:24
  Ron Beebe: And I had, by the way, been with that insurance company over 40 years, never had a claim with them.
• 42:30
  Ron Beebe: But I didn't understand it.
• 42:32
  Ron Beebe: But I still gave it to God and so we thought, well, I guess we'll figure out how to do it.
• 42:39
  Ron Beebe: Bunny says, well, we don't have that kind of money.
• 42:42
  Ron Beebe: And I said, I know that.
• 42:44
  Ron Beebe: But I said, there again, we give it to God, he's got whatever it takes.
• 42:48
  Ron Beebe: So I called a man out to check my roof and he climbed up there and he looked at it and so he told me yeah, you do need it and this is what it's going to cost.
• 43:00
  Ron Beebe: And the bid was, I think, $12,000 for everything.
• 43:03
  Ron Beebe: But the problem is is I have electric panels on my roof, solar panels, and when I got those I'm sorry, but the man outlied to me he was a beginner.
• 43:17
  Ron Beebe: I'll give him credit.
• 43:18
  Ron Beebe: Maybe he didn't know.
• 43:19
  Ron Beebe: But the first thing I did, before I even let him in my house to talk about the panels, I said let me get the ladder.
• 43:26
  Ron Beebe: I want you to look at my roof and tell me if you think it's going to need a new roof.
• 43:32
  Ron Beebe: And he climbed up there and he said, yeah, probably not this year, but within a year you probably should replace a roof.
• 43:38
  Ron Beebe: I said what about the panels?
• 43:40
  Ron Beebe: He said don't worry about it.
• 43:41
  Ron Beebe: He said our company will come and take them off for you.
• 43:46
  Ron Beebe: Let you put on your new roof and put them back free of charge one time in your contract.
• 43:51
  Ron Beebe: I said okay, so I bought the panels.
• 43:54
  Ron Beebe: Well, when I found out I was going to need them off, I contacted them and they said sure, we're glad to do it, $6,500.
• 44:01
  Ron Beebe: I contacted them and they said sure, we'd be glad to do it, $6,500.
• 44:04
  Ron Beebe: And I said but your man told me this Well, it's not in your contract and we don't do that.
• 44:08
  Ron Beebe: He told you wrong and I even called him because I still had his cell phone and I said ma'am, you remember climbing up?
• 44:15
  Ron Beebe: Well, he said I didn't tell you that.
• 44:18
  Ron Beebe: No, I didn't tell you.
• 44:19
  Ron Beebe: And I thought, well, there's no use, he's going to deny it.
• 44:21
  Ron Beebe: But I said I wouldn't even have let you in my house if you'd have told me it was going to cost $6,500 to have them removed.
• 44:28
  Ron Beebe: But we dropped that.
• 44:29
  Ron Beebe: Anyway, god takes care of things.
• 44:31
  Ron Beebe: And so everybody I had even mentioned doing a roof job they said we don't touch the panels.
• 44:37
  Ron Beebe: No deal, we won't do that.
• 44:46
  Ron Beebe: And so I was praying while the man was checking my roof, and I prayed that God send me a Christian.
• 44:51
  Ron Beebe: That was a believer, and so God spoke to my heart and when he climbed down he said tell him about your miracle, so I can always tell.
• 44:59
  Ron Beebe: When I start to tell someone about it, I say do you believe in miracles?
• 45:02
  Ron Beebe: And some of them will say yes, but right away I can tell they don't.
• 45:09
  Ron Beebe: But the ones that really believe it will say wow, that's great, I really believe God does this.
• 45:11
  Ron Beebe: They will chime in, and he did.
• 45:14
  Ron Beebe: And so when I got through telling him that, I said let me ask you another thing.
• 45:19
  Ron Beebe: I said will you climb back on my roof and look at those panels and tell me if there's a possibility you would take them off and put them back?
• 45:27
  Ron Beebe: I said I will pay you.
• 45:29
  Ron Beebe: I not only will pay you, I will not hold you responsible if something goes wrong, because I realize this is not what you do.
• 45:36
  Ron Beebe: And he laughed and he said if I could get $6,500 for taking those panels off and putting them back, I would sell my contracting business because I would make a lot more profit.
• 45:46
  Ron Beebe: He said sure, I'll do it.
• 45:48
  Ron Beebe: He said I can have them off of there in 30 minutes, put them back in 30 minutes.
• 45:51
  Ron Beebe: So he did that.
• 45:52
  Ron Beebe: So that was kind of another miracle.
• 45:55
  Ron Beebe: But then he gave me the bid of $12,000, which we did not have.
• 45:59
  Ron Beebe: And there again Bunny says what are we going to do?
• 46:02
  Ron Beebe: And which we did not have.
• 46:02
  Ron Beebe: And there again Bunny says what are we going to do?
• 46:04
  Ron Beebe: And I said we're going to give it to God.
• 46:06
  Ron Beebe: And so we were thinking we might have to borrow the money.
• 46:08
  Ron Beebe: We didn't even know if we could.
• 46:09
  Ron Beebe: We don't make a whole lot.
• 46:12
  Ron Beebe: But anyway, about a week or two rocked on and we had not told anybody anything except we said we're going to have to replace our roof.
• 46:21
  Ron Beebe: We hadn't mentioned a price or when we had to do it or what.
• 46:24
  Ron Beebe: And we got a phone call and it was some friends that we've known quite a while and they don't want their name mentioned, and I understand that.
• 46:35
  Ron Beebe: But they said to Bunny said what are you doing?
• 46:37
  Ron Beebe: She said well, I'm just sitting on the couch watching TV.
• 46:40
  Ron Beebe: Said what's Ron doing?
• 46:41
  Ron Beebe: Said well, he'm just sitting on the couch watching TV.
• 46:42
  Ron Beebe: I said what's Ron doing?
• 46:42
  Ron Beebe: He said well, he's getting ready to go to Walmart.
• 46:43
  Ron Beebe: I said, well, tell him not to go, we want to talk to him right now.
• 46:46
  Ron Beebe: And so she told me.
• 46:48
  Ron Beebe: And they said we'll be right there at your house.
• 46:51
  Ron Beebe: And I thought, oh my, have we offended him in some way?
• 46:55
  Ron Beebe: What have I said that I shouldn't have said, because I didn't realize what was going on?
• 46:59
  Ron Beebe: And they walked in and they said how much is it going to cost you to replace your roof?
• 47:03
  Ron Beebe: And we said $12,000.
• 47:06
  Ron Beebe: That's the first one we'd ever told.
• 47:07
  Ron Beebe: They sat down and pulled out their check and wrote a check to me personally for $12,000, said this is a loan, but you don't have to pay it till you can.
• 47:17
  Ron Beebe: We don't want you to pay anything the first year.
• 47:20
  Ron Beebe: There's no interest loan and there's no due date and no contract.
• 47:25
  Ron Beebe: He said put it in your bank, pay it and then, after you've had a year, to get the rest of it.
• 47:30
  Ron Beebe: I'm trying to get out of debt totally to get on your feet, then you pay it however you want to, but this is what God told us to do.
• 47:38
  Ron Beebe: Wow.
• 47:38
  Ron Beebe: That don't happen every day.
• 47:41
  Daniel Moore: No, it doesn't.
• 47:42
  Ron Beebe: Not at all.
• 47:42
  Ron Beebe: You see, god does If you can do it.
• 47:46
  Ron Beebe: It's not a miracle.
• 47:47
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 47:48
  Ron Beebe: If you can figure it out for yourself.
• 47:50
  Ron Beebe: And yet that's exactly what we want to do.
• 47:52
  Ron Beebe: Well, I can do that.
• 47:53
  Ron Beebe: I can handle it.
• 47:53
  Ron Beebe: I can figure a way.
• 47:54
  Ron Beebe: Well, I could have, but I wanted God to handle it, because he does it better he does.
• 47:58
  Ron Beebe: I would have been in debt, paying something with a high interest rate.
• 48:01
  Ron Beebe: The way it is, I can still pay it back and I want to.
• 48:06
  Ron Beebe: I didn't want to get, but God made it possible.
• 48:09
  Ron Beebe: So he just does things that you need and he knows your need before you ever ask him.
• 48:14
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, he does, and I think it also speaks to the importance of having that community of believers around you having that community of believers around you.
• 48:22
  Daniel Moore: You know a lot of us, especially unbelievers.
• 48:25
  Daniel Moore: They have a tendency to want to kind of put themselves on an island, all that on their own.
• 48:30
  Daniel Moore: You know they don't think they need anybody else around them.
• 48:32
  Daniel Moore: That they're, you know, self-capacitated and can do everything on their own or whatever.
• 48:36
  Daniel Moore: But we all know that for any of us that's been in church over any long period of time I grew up in church and obviously you did too we know the importance of having that community.
• 48:49
  Daniel Moore: That's what it's all about.
• 48:51
  Daniel Moore: When we have Christ in our heart and in our lives, we're there to help each other.
• 48:55
  Ron Beebe: We are.
• 48:56
  Daniel Moore: And that's what Christ has called us to do.
• 48:57
  Daniel Moore: And then God works in the middle of all that.
• 49:00
  Daniel Moore: He does and he utilizes all of that, and so these are some pretty big miracles so far that you've been telling me, with the healing and then the roof thing that keeps people up at night thinking about stuff like that.
• 49:15
  Daniel Moore: But you shared another one with me that Most people might think would be a little insignificant to a point, but I think it's an awesome about the dog I really I like that one.
• 49:26
  Daniel Moore: You just shared that with me while ago.
• 49:28
  Daniel Moore: I didn't know about that one yet.
• 49:29
  Ron Beebe: It shows you that God cares about you and about what you want.
• 49:34
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 49:35
  Ron Beebe: We had a dog and it died about a year ago and it just broke our hearts and we talked about getting another one and I said we need to wait until God gives us a go-ahead.
• 49:47
  Ron Beebe: I said we said that we would give it the wisdom test, and so I prayed about it and I said, God, I would love to have a dog, but since I'm telling you how it is, I'd like a Labrador retriever, yeah, and I'd like him to be registered, and I know they cost anywhere from $1,000, $1,500 or up and I don't have that kind of money.
• 50:11
  Ron Beebe: So I need him for free.
• 50:13
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 50:14
  Ron Beebe: Well, I prayed that and probably six weeks later I'd forgotten about it.
• 50:18
  Ron Beebe: My wife looked online and found somebody had chocolate lab puppies for sale and I think they started off at like just $7.50.
• 50:31
  Ron Beebe: And she thought that was a pretty good price.
• 50:33
  Ron Beebe: And she called them and they said yeah, and anyway I said no, we can't pay that for it.
• 50:40
  Ron Beebe: I'd love to have one, but you know I gave this to God.
• 50:44
  Ron Beebe: Well, about two weeks later they called us and they said we're down to one puppy and we need to get rid of it because we're planning on having.
• 50:54
  Ron Beebe: We found out.
• 50:54
  Ron Beebe: Well, anyway, they wanted to get rid of it, so they dropped it to $350,000, and I still said no, that's not what we're supposed to do.
• 51:03
  Ron Beebe: Yet God hadn't given me the go-ahead, so, because I knew, I'd told him I didn't have any money and I wanted it for free.
• 51:10
  Ron Beebe: Two weeks later they called us and said we found out our puppy's having more, I mean our dog's having more puppies next month.
• 51:17
  Ron Beebe: We need him gone and we feel like you're going to give him a good home.
• 51:22
  Ron Beebe: Would you take him for free?
• 51:23
  Ron Beebe: I said yes, I believe that's what God wants.
• 51:26
  Ron Beebe: But, even at that.
• 51:26
  Ron Beebe: We were going to pick him up the next day and I said now, god, as much as I want this dog and as much as you said everything I've asked you.
• 51:35
  Ron Beebe: But I said, if I'm not supposed to have it, you just nudge me and I won't take it, because it's more important to me than getting the puppy is to know that that's what you want me to do yeah and he's a rascal he's.
• 51:48
  Ron Beebe: We've had him over a month and he's gained.
• 51:50
  Ron Beebe: He gained almost 20 pounds.
• 51:53
  Ron Beebe: Oh wow, he's gonna be a big be a big one that's what I wanted.
• 51:57
  Ron Beebe: I've just always loved labs and he's so smart.
• 52:00
  Ron Beebe: We've just had him in our home about maybe six weeks.
• 52:03
  Ron Beebe: My wife loves to work with him and she's taught him to fetch the ball and fetch things and she's taught him to shake hands and she it's funny because he's very versatile.
• 52:15
  Ron Beebe: The dog I had before would never even bark.
• 52:17
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, and when we first got him he was up on the couch and he dropped one of his toys and he looked at it in the floor and he looked up at her and started going roo roo, roo, roo roo.
• 52:26
  Ron Beebe: I said he's telling you he wants you to pick it up and she did and it made him happy.
• 52:31
  Ron Beebe: But he's just quite a dog.
• 52:33
  Ron Beebe: But that just shows you God cares about you.
• 52:35
  Ron Beebe: He does he cares about what you want, and I didn't beg him for it.
• 52:40
  Ron Beebe: I just said by the way, you need to know what kind I want, in case you decide to give me one.
• 52:45
  Ron Beebe: And then I dropped it and I'd forgotten about it.
• 52:48
  Daniel Moore: And I think that speaks to the significance of the specifics in the prayer, because he could have gave you any kind of a dog.
• 52:55
  Daniel Moore: He did not have to answer that exact prayer to give you the exact dog that he wanted.
• 53:01
  Daniel Moore: That's God, he wants you to know.
• 53:02
  Daniel Moore: He answered the prayer and he gave you.
• 53:03
  Ron Beebe: He didn't answer that exact prayer to give you the exact dog that you wanted.
• 53:05
  Ron Beebe: He wants you to know.
• 53:05
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, he answered the prayer and he gave you exactly.
• 53:06
  Ron Beebe: I remember a friend of mine one time was preaching and he said we're so funny when we ask God for things, we think he must be broke.
• 53:12
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 53:12
  Ron Beebe: Said God, I need another car.
• 53:14
  Ron Beebe: Have you got an old, beat up Chevrolet in the back 40 that you could fix up for me and let me have?
• 53:19
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 53:19
  Ron Beebe: He said you're insulting God and I don't care about riches, I don't care about things, but God doesn't have a problem with what we think is a problem.
• 53:31
  Ron Beebe: Well, that's too expensive.
• 53:32
  Ron Beebe: God can't afford that.
• 53:33
  Ron Beebe: Yes, he can.
• 53:35
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, and it just speaks to the fact that God does.
• 53:37
  Daniel Moore: He does want us to be happy.
• 53:38
  Daniel Moore: He does, he wants us to be successful here on this earth.
• 53:41
  Daniel Moore: He wants us to believe him.
• 53:42
  Ron Beebe: You know people think it's how you live that makes God happy.
• 53:46
  Ron Beebe: Well, I've lived a good life, I've given money, I've done this.
• 53:50
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, that's filthy rags to him, your own righteousness Work space.
• 53:54
  Ron Beebe: He doesn't care about that much.
• 53:57
  Ron Beebe: Right.
• 54:04
  Ron Beebe: What he cares about is do you love me?
• 54:04
  Ron Beebe: Do you trust me?
• 54:05
  Ron Beebe: Do you put me first?
• 54:05
  Ron Beebe: Am I your personal friend?
• 54:06
  Ron Beebe: That makes God jump for joy when he sees that you trusted him and you believed what his word said was true.
• 54:12
  Ron Beebe: That's what faith is all about, and faith is what makes him happy.
• 54:16
  Ron Beebe: Right?
• 54:17
  Ron Beebe: It ain't your performance.
• 54:19
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, yeah, that's some good truths right there.
• 54:22
  Daniel Moore: Definitely your performance yeah, that's some good truths right there, definitely.
• 54:27
  Daniel Moore: I know people that they'll ask God for things, but they are afraid to get specific, you know, and they feel like they're being a pain or an inconvenience or whatever you want to look at that.
• 54:39
  Daniel Moore: And God just wants a relationship.
• 54:42
  Daniel Moore: He just wants you to speak to Him and if we live the life that he set out before us and we follow that path that he's laid down for us and fulfilling the will that he has for our lives, he's more than happy to answer those prayers that we have and to give us the things that we have need of.
• 54:59
  Ron Beebe: It's not even a problem for Him.
• 55:01
  Ron Beebe: It's not.
• 55:02
  Ron Beebe: He wants us to realize that's not a problem for me.
• 55:04
  Ron Beebe: Now, I didn't beg him for the dog.
• 55:06
  Ron Beebe: In fact I only asked him one time in a prayer and then I forgot about it because I thought if he wants to do it he will.
• 55:11
  Ron Beebe: But that was faith to him.
• 55:14
  Ron Beebe: He's got faith that I'll give him what he wants.
• 55:25
  Ron Beebe: He's not begging me for it because I didn't have to have it.
• 55:26
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, but it thrilled me that he did everything that I had asked for and I asked one time you don't have to beg God, you just have to be honest with him.
• 55:30
  Ron Beebe: I really that wasn't a high priority and I, if I hadn't got it, I wouldn't have been upset with God yeah.
• 55:37
  Ron Beebe: I just told him what I liked yeah, and he fulfilled it, filled it right to the yes.
• 55:42
  Daniel Moore: Sure did.
• 55:42
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, that's incredible.
• 55:44
  Daniel Moore: Those are good dogs too.
• 55:46
  Daniel Moore: Oh yes, labs are very smart, very intelligent.
• 55:49
  Daniel Moore: We're getting kind of into our time frame here.
• 55:52
  Daniel Moore: I'd like for you to share one more, if you would.
• 55:54
  Daniel Moore: I know you've got so many.
• 55:55
  Daniel Moore: It's just been blowing my mind all the things that you've had you know take place in your life.
• 56:06
  Daniel Moore: I was wondering could you share the story that you shared with me about, uh, the time?
• 56:08
  Daniel Moore: that and the snowstorm, oh yeah without saying any names, but I just felt like that was an incredible story well, I tuned pianos and I'm retired.
• 56:16
  Ron Beebe: I really don't want to tune very many and basically, when you retire, there's only about three of us in the whole four state area and the other two that I know of they won't even take phone calls, basically.
• 56:29
  Ron Beebe: And if they do, they'll quote you three or four hundred dollars above what they would ordinarily do because they don't want to mess with it.
• 56:34
  Ron Beebe: Well, the fact is, when you've been doing this for I started in 1963, you've got enough customers that you can do the cream of the crop and it doesn't take you as long because you just tuned it six months ago or whatever.
• 56:47
  Ron Beebe: And that's what I was wanting to do.
• 56:49
  Ron Beebe: But ever since the stroke, god changed that, because God said those are your regular customers, you've already talked to them.
• 56:57
  Ron Beebe: He said I want to send you to people that need to hear what you've got to say and I said okay, lord, here we go.
• 57:05
  Ron Beebe: Well, he gave me a call and it was snowing, it was in the wintertime, and this guy lived 20 miles west of Baxter Springs and I live in Neosho.
• 57:17
  Ron Beebe: And I said oh, lord, plus, it was an old baby grand that he said probably won't even hold a tune.
• 57:23
  Ron Beebe: And I knew he was right and I said, oh Lord, plus, it was an old baby grand that he said probably won't even hold a tune.
• 57:24
  Ron Beebe: And I knew he was right and I just did not want to do it.
• 57:27
  Ron Beebe: And I said, god, are you sure you want me to do this, because it's going to be a really a chore.
• 57:32
  Ron Beebe: God said you need to go.
• 57:34
  Ron Beebe: I said okay.
• 57:35
  Ron Beebe: So I took off and went down there and it was terrible.
• 57:37
  Ron Beebe: I worked really really hard on it.
• 57:38
  Ron Beebe: He took off and went down there and it was terrible.
• 57:40
  Ron Beebe: I worked really really hard on it.
• 57:43
  Ron Beebe: But I knew why he'd sent me was to give the message.
• 57:46
  Ron Beebe: And so I looked on his table and I saw his Bible sitting there and so I said, when I finished tuning.
• 57:52
  Ron Beebe: I said you're a believer, aren't you?
• 57:53
  Ron Beebe: And he said, yes, I am.
• 57:54
  Ron Beebe: I said well, I want to share with you a miracle that God did for me.
• 57:58
  Ron Beebe: And he said okay.
• 57:59
  Ron Beebe: So I shared did for me.
• 58:05
  Ron Beebe: And he said okay.
• 58:05
  Ron Beebe: So I shared my miracle about my healing and visited with him a few minutes and I left uh, what is really weird, and I've never had this happen before.
• 58:10
  Ron Beebe: But he gave me a hundred dollar tip and I've just never had that happen and I didn't expect it.
• 58:15
  Ron Beebe: But god was saying you drove, I rewarded you extra blessing it was but mean.
• 58:20
  Ron Beebe: I never expected that or asked for it.
• 58:22
  Ron Beebe: But anyway, he didn't say a whole lot, but I noticed he had tears in his eyes when I told him the story.
• 58:29
  Ron Beebe: And about two weeks later I got a text from him in my phone and it was a long one and he said I couldn't tell you this at the time, I was too broken up.
• 58:39
  Ron Beebe: But he said I had just lost my father, I just lost my job, and he named several other things in that list and he said I have been a believer a long time but I had made up my mind I couldn't take it anymore and I was contemplating taking my own life.
• 58:57
  Ron Beebe: And he said when you did that, I knew God sent you and I wasn't supposed to do it yeah and he said I'm alive today because of that.
• 59:10
  chataboutjesus.com: That's great that is awesome and all I said was thank you, jesus.
• 59:14
  Ron Beebe: I'm glad you let me be a part of it and I'm glad that I didn't back out because circumstances, that I didn't back out because circumstances wanted me to, because I wasn't enjoying it, but I knew it's what I was supposed to do and I want you to always keep me where that.
• 59:30
  Ron Beebe: I know your voice and I will do what you tell me to do.
• 59:34
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, you know, that speaks to when we don't want to do things and it maybe takes us out of our comfort zone.
• 59:43
  Ron Beebe: Right.
• 59:44
  Daniel Moore: You know, maybe we're exhausted.
• 59:46
  Daniel Moore: You know, we always have these excuses and reasons in life.
• 59:49
  Ron Beebe: We do.
• 59:50
  Daniel Moore: We just that moments, just don't feel like we want to go do something.
• 59:53
  Daniel Moore: But you know, it speaks a lot.
• 59:57
  Daniel Moore: When we do go ahead and take that step and the aftermath comes where God he just done something there that was just phenomenal, and you don't know till after the fact, Then you think, well, if I hadn't have followed God's voice in that.
• 1:00:13
  Ron Beebe: Exactly yes.
• 1:00:14
  Daniel Moore: Look at what would have happened, what that outcome would have been, and I think that that just speaks volumes and why we should listen to God and follow him.
• 1:00:22
  Daniel Moore: And you know, as we've talked about all the different things that's happened to you, with the ones that you've shared, there's a common denominator there it's listening to God.
• 1:00:33
  Daniel Moore: It's so important to listen to God and what he has you know each day for us when he's talking to us.
• 1:00:40
  Ron Beebe: He wants to be our closest friend.
• 1:00:41
  Ron Beebe: He does, and you listen to your closest friend, yeah, but the fact is I hate to say it, but it was a fact with me and it's a fact with all of us we're selfish.
• 1:00:50
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 1:00:50
  Ron Beebe: We want what we want and we leave God at church and say see you next Sunday, if I don't go fishing.
• 1:00:58
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 1:00:59
  Ron Beebe: And he wants to be first in your life and when he is, he takes care of all of these other things he does.
• 1:01:05
  Ron Beebe: He says take no thought of tomorrow.
• 1:01:07
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, you know, I will take care of you.
• 1:01:09
  Ron Beebe: And I finally reached that place because I wasn't doing a very good job of it.
• 1:01:13
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 1:01:17
  Ron Beebe: And I was spending all my time working and trying to make it and trying to do, and when I started saying you come first, god, I'll do your stuff, and then, if I have time, I'll do mine, he blessed me in so many ways.
• 1:01:26
  Ron Beebe: It just shocks me.
• 1:01:27
  Ron Beebe: I mean, things just happen and I can't believe it.
• 1:01:33
  Daniel Moore: Yeah.
• 1:01:34
  Daniel Moore: So the people that are out there listening right now as we wrap this up and close this episode here, that's not seeing this stuff happen in their life, but they're believers.
• 1:01:44
  Daniel Moore: They're going to church, they're doing everything that they think they should be, everything that they think they're doing everything right.
• 1:01:50
  Daniel Moore: What would you tell someone like that that is maybe on the verge of thinking, well, god just doesn't do this stuff anymore?
• 1:01:57
  Daniel Moore: What is some advice that you could give them to maybe help them understand that God still does do these kinds of things for people?
• 1:02:08
  Ron Beebe: Well, you know, if you were to tell me right now there's no such thing as chocolate cake, I'd say you're wrong.
• 1:02:15
  Ron Beebe: I've tasted it.
• 1:02:16
  Ron Beebe: I know there is.
• 1:02:17
  Ron Beebe: You'll never convince me, no matter what you say.
• 1:02:19
  Ron Beebe: You don't have to believe it, but I know it's so because it happened to me.
• 1:02:23
  Ron Beebe: Well, that's where I am.
• 1:02:24
  Ron Beebe: But the fact is, first of all, faith is the opposite of fear.
• 1:02:29
  Ron Beebe: And what do we do?
• 1:02:31
  Ron Beebe: I think I'm getting sick.
• 1:02:33
  Ron Beebe: I think I've got this.
• 1:02:34
  Ron Beebe: I think I've got cancer.
• 1:02:35
  Ron Beebe: I think I'm this.
• 1:02:36
  Ron Beebe: You are confessing the negative part, I think, and you're thinking wrong.
• 1:02:41
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 1:02:42
  Ron Beebe: And we have to practice believing God, practice using our faith and say God, the doctors may tell me this, but I believe you're a miracle worker and I believe you will heal me.
• 1:02:53
  Ron Beebe: And I want you to give me the faith and cause me to use the faith that I've got, and you just have to like.
• 1:03:02
  Ron Beebe: I said fear is the opposite.
• 1:03:03
  Ron Beebe: I asked God later because I had hundreds of people praying for me and I said God, who prayed the prayer of faith?
• 1:03:14
  Ron Beebe: I said I didn't even know if I expected an answer.
• 1:03:17
  Ron Beebe: But you know what he said to me.
• 1:03:19
  Ron Beebe: He said your wife was laying there in fear.
• 1:03:22
  Ron Beebe: She thought you were going to die.
• 1:03:24
  Ron Beebe: She thought she was going to lose you.
• 1:03:26
  Ron Beebe: Fear is the opposite of faith.
• 1:03:28
  Ron Beebe: She had no faith, but when she sensed the presence of God in the room, all of that left and she says it's going to be all right, god's got this.
• 1:03:39
  Ron Beebe: And when she did, she had the opposite of fear and she had faith and said that's when he did it, because she immediately recognized God and his power.
• 1:03:50
  Ron Beebe: And she said he's here, everything's fine.
• 1:03:53
  Ron Beebe: Okay, we have to practice realizing the presence of God.
• 1:03:57
  Ron Beebe: And he said where even two or three are gathered together in my name, I'm there.
• 1:03:59
  Ron Beebe: And he said where even two or three are gathered together, in my name, I'm there.
• 1:04:02
  Ron Beebe: See, what we don't realize God is.
• 1:04:04
  Ron Beebe: He's here right now.
• 1:04:05
  Ron Beebe: He's everywhere you go.
• 1:04:07
  Ron Beebe: Sometimes it makes you think about the things you do and say Because God is there.
• 1:04:12
  Ron Beebe: If you literally said, well, god's here, don't listen God, because I'm fixing to swear a little bit or I'm fixing to do some things that I know you wouldn't be pleased.
• 1:04:20
  Ron Beebe: He's there.
• 1:04:21
  Ron Beebe: He's there, whether you like it or not, and he knows everything you do.
• 1:04:24
  Ron Beebe: So, first of all, be honest with God.
• 1:04:27
  Ron Beebe: We're not honest with God.
• 1:04:29
  Ron Beebe: We try to think he's going to believe whatever we tell him.
• 1:04:32
  Ron Beebe: He's not.
• 1:04:33
  Ron Beebe: God is not a fool, he knows all the truth, but he loves you unconditionally.
• 1:04:39
  Ron Beebe: That's something we haven't learned to do yet.
• 1:04:41
  Ron Beebe: Is love unconditionally?
• 1:04:41
  Ron Beebe: That's something we haven't learned to do yet.
• 1:04:42
  Ron Beebe: Is love unconditionally?
• 1:04:43
  Ron Beebe: That's one thing about your dog they love you unconditionally.
• 1:04:46
  Ron Beebe: Boy, you can learn from it, because you could strike them and they'll come back and lick your hand because they love you.
• 1:04:54
  Ron Beebe: Well, when we can get that way with God, where I love you, god, no matter what happens to me, I love you and I want to serve you and we have to make up our mind.
• 1:05:04
  Ron Beebe: We have choices and he will not do anything against your will.
• 1:05:08
  Ron Beebe: So if your will is to always make money and do all the things that you're planning on doing the rest of your life and crowd God out, that's probably what you'll do.
• 1:05:17
  Ron Beebe: You have to make up your mind.
• 1:05:19
  Ron Beebe: I want what God wants.
• 1:05:21
  Ron Beebe: What does God want?
• 1:05:22
  Ron Beebe: Then ask your question what does God want?
• 1:05:22
  Ron Beebe: Then ask your question what does God want?
• 1:05:24
  Ron Beebe: Well, he'll tell you real quick what he wants.
• 1:05:26
  Ron Beebe: I want a relationship with you.
• 1:05:28
  Ron Beebe: I want to be able to bless you.
• 1:05:30
  Ron Beebe: I want to be able to give you things.
• 1:05:31
  Ron Beebe: I'm able to be able to heal you.
• 1:05:33
  Ron Beebe: I want to be your best friend.
• 1:05:34
  Ron Beebe: I want to be there to solve the problems that you can't solve.
• 1:05:38
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, that's good.
• 1:05:39
  Daniel Moore: And we got to remember God not only when he's around us all the time.
• 1:05:43
  Daniel Moore: He not only hears the things that we say and see the things that we do, but he knows our heart, he knows your heart.
• 1:05:48
  Daniel Moore: That's the thing we really need to remember, because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, and that's who we are, that's we're consistent of what's in our heart, and God knows what that is, and so we always need to be careful with what we do.
• 1:06:02
  Ron Beebe: I've heard people say I don't know how to pray.
• 1:06:04
  Ron Beebe: You know what I tell them Pray from your heart.
• 1:06:07
  Ron Beebe: Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  Ron Beebe: And talk to God, just like you talk to me, if you're saying, oh blessed holy father this, and that you're praying for men to hear you.
• 1:06:15
  Ron Beebe: Right.
• 1:06:15
  Ron Beebe: And it doesn't go any higher than the ceiling.
• 1:06:17
  Ron Beebe: Yeah, when you look at God and say, god, this is me talking.
• 1:06:20
  Ron Beebe: You know me.
• 1:06:20
  Ron Beebe: I'm just a sinner saved by grace.
• 1:06:23
  Ron Beebe: But, god, I want what you want in my life.
• 1:06:27
  Ron Beebe: I want to have your power in my life.
• 1:06:30
  Ron Beebe: I want to have your wisdom in my life.
• 1:06:31
  Ron Beebe: I want that because that's the only way I'm going to survive, because the future is not good and we're just seeing a tip of the iceberg.
• 1:06:40
  Ron Beebe: It's just beginning.
• 1:06:43
  Daniel Moore: It's just it's bad.
• 1:06:44
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, we have to pray out of the heart of humility.
• 1:06:47
  Daniel Moore: Humility is so much when it comes to bowing to Jesus' feet at the foot of that throne, and us being humble speaks volumes with what God's going to do in our life.
• 1:07:00
  Daniel Moore: So, Ron, I appreciate this.
• 1:07:02
  Daniel Moore: Thank you for being on here with me, and I just I know this is going to speak to some people.
• 1:07:08
  Daniel Moore: I know that it's going to touch some lives and I think there's there's going to be some people, I think, that'll listen to this that there's some strongholds in their life right now it's going to be broken.
• 1:07:16
  Ron Beebe: Well, this is what we're counting on.
• 1:07:17
  Ron Beebe: God is moving now he is and this is the end time and there's a great falling away, but it's also going to be one of the greatest revivals that ever happened.
• 1:07:25
  Daniel Moore: Yeah, I agree and I'm looking forward to it.
• 1:07:27
  Daniel Moore: I am too.
• 1:07:28
  Daniel Moore: I'm excited.
• 1:07:29
  Ron Beebe: We're already seeing miracles and it's going to be more.
• 1:07:31
  Ron Beebe: It's going to have to be because you're not going to have the ability At one point.
• 1:07:37
  Ron Beebe: I don't believe you'll have an ability to go to the doctor and get what you want To do it on our own, that's right.
• 1:07:42
  Daniel Moore: Well, thank you for being here.
• 1:07:43
  Daniel Moore: I appreciate it.
• 1:07:45
  Daniel Moore: God bless you in all that you do.
• 1:07:46
  Daniel Moore: Thank you for having me Well as we close today.
• 1:07:50
  Daniel Moore: In the words of Matthew 17 20, it says Truly I tell you, if you have faith, as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain move from here to there and it will move.
• 1:08:00
  Daniel Moore: Nothing will be impossible for you.
• 1:08:04
  Daniel Moore: Miracles are a manifestation of God's power and His grace and it's also one of the gifts of the believers.
• 1:08:10
  Daniel Moore: In 1 Corinthians 12 10, it reminds us when it says to another that is given miraculous powers.
• 1:08:15
  Daniel Moore: Just as Jesus performed many miracles during His time on earth, we can trust in His promise.
• 1:08:20
  Daniel Moore: In John 14, 12 12, that says whoever believes in me will do the works I've been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.
• 1:08:29
  Daniel Moore: Miracles are a testament to the love and mercy of our Savior, as John 11, 40 assures us.
• 1:08:35
  Daniel Moore: Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?
• 1:08:40
  Daniel Moore: As CS Lewis once said, you will see the glory of God, as CS Lewis once said.
• 1:08:45
  Daniel Moore: I believe in Christianity, as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
• 1:08:51
  Daniel Moore: Miracles are not only a testament to the power and presence of God, but they also serve as a reminder of the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary.
• 1:08:59
  Daniel Moore: Albert Einstein famously put it there are only two ways to live your life One is as though nothing is a miracle.
• 1:09:07
  Daniel Moore: The other is as though everything is a miracle.
• 1:09:10
  Daniel Moore: So as we close this week's episode, may we hold on to the hope and faith that miracles are still possible in our lives today.
• 1:09:17
  Daniel Moore: Remember, miracles are all around us, If only we have the eyes to see.
• 1:09:22
  Daniel Moore: Well, that's going to end this week's episode.
