Used Car Inspections with Inspector Gadget To Get Smart

This is the Truth Network today on the cargo show we are doing used-car inspections with inspector gadget to get smart so for those of you who are familiar with inspector gadget you may realize it is played by Don Adams, who was a Maxwell Smart in the TV show. Get smart and fascinatingly if you really think about these two characters inspector gadget and you'll Maxwell Smart and if you're not familiar with either of them. I highly recommend that you study a must. We are two characters that have something I can really relate to him. He may both seem to be bumbling and fumbling and making mistake after mistake, having really no sense of what's really going on, but they come power and some are another always end up with this miraculous success and fame is like, how did that happen they got, you know you just was seemed so inept and so for me when I can really relate to somebody that's bumbling and fumbling and then all of a sudden it all works out somehow and I think that really spells hope it spells hope for all of us. So I think it's worth studying what was their secret. How did they get the job done. I believe these are critical questions and I him. Always wear them.

You know, in that I am kinda like if I'm in a do a used car inspection.

You gotta realize kind of the situation were in his if you really think about what are your skills to go try and do a used car, you may be just like me are you a mechanic will know I'm not a mechanic. Are you an expert in bodywork. Well I'm not like Jerry are not expert in bodywork will have about car upholstery. Now I don't know that much about that. So how do I apply the inspector gadget strategy/Maxwell Smart. You got to see the play on words enough inspector gadget to get smart alright so how can I employ that strategy right in doing used-car inspection well if you study these two characters and again if you have if you're not familiar with Maxwell's father inspector gadget. I can't tell you strongly enough to go study these two guys can say will bring you hope because you may feel like wow I've been there many many many times you can't help but notice that they both have incredible faith. I mean, they seem to believe that there can get the job done. When nobody else in the entire drama which by the way they made the movies out of both these TV shows both inspector gadget and get smart movies because these characters are so famous for what they have faith right so one huge thing that always is part of the equation. If you can go try to do something, whether it's used-car inspection or unit try to step in and try to fix something in your own car or maybe it's go out and buy a car with help from a friend of that kind of thing or whatever it is the goddess put on your heart to do it requires faith right if you gotta believe you're going to get it done and you gotta believe that you have what it takes to make it happen even though you when you look at these two characters is pretty hard to believe that they have that sense of harmony get this done, but they seemingly are never discouraged.

And that's part of the joy is if you go into every episode you think hot, you know they're going to come through this somehow. But you can't help but wonder so the first thing you gotta do is you get a try.

You got to step into that used-car inspection want to buy used car and I want to go check this thing out.

I mean, there's lots of backup plans will get to those in a minute but the first thing is is you gotta walk into it and you go Sam, I'm with you. Gotta try this and the next thing that I would note about both these characters. I really think there's amazing power here in this. In fact, I really learned some about this week myself is both characters are pursued by a capable team of three on my dad in both cases of three are being inspector gadget has his trusty dog brain, and his knees Penny and the ever present chief Irene. He has served the team is there in pursuit of them is always looking they've got his back and if you watch many episodes you'll see how this all works out and Mark Maxwell Smart similarly he has agent 99 write his future wife by me the robot if you might remember any has his ever present chief well if you really think about you as you head into this used-car inspection or car repair are going to buy a car or anything along these lines, so do you. I promise you have a team of three and they are in hot pursuit all the time right but accessing that power and that trio there is what makes all the difference. See you see you never see inspector gadget going it alone. A Maxwell Smart no no I mean it. So if we go on this short tire kicking session right as we inspect this car. I want to think about this, but before we got that. I the reason why I love this hot pursuit idea is that last week I had breakfast with a friend who shared a dream that he had and it was kinda miraculous and even shared it with me because I hadn't told him something about your agreement and an experience I had, he wouldn't have shared with me but later he said left you told me that Robbie had to tell you this for when he told me the stream.

This character in the dream he described as having this phenomenal, caring, loving you know like he could tell that this being that was in this dream was actually stroking his head. He could sense that this character loved him more than he'd ever felt led before and comforted him and was actually counseling with him was something that he had been struggling with at and and trying help them to see God without knowing*for*tell me about it because Robbie I'm I'm not sure who this was many goes.

I know it was it had to be the Holy Spirit because he was a mean he comforted me like I just couldn't believe, and then he was counseling me and I just I was just taken back by how cool is that. And I don't know that I've ever had that kind of experience of the Holy Spirit where I just really felt like he cared for me beyond… The really neat thing and so sharing this with another friend of mine actually James Banks who wrote virtual particles and all sorts interesting books on prayer in heat says to me you know Robbie, that makes me think of the end of the 23rd Psalm and I support you mentalism. I know the end of the 23rd Psalm.

He said you know the parts is surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days my life is if you check the original language, original Hebrew there that would follow. Might be better translated pursuit and oh my goodness, you know what I went and looked at up after I spoke to James and not only does that word better translated pursuit goodness and mercy. There's a lot of words to go in there that a lot like the fruits of the spirit.

And so I you almost get the sense of wow and if I could quote inspector gadget browsers. The Holy Spirit is literally pursuing you all the days of your life and you dwell in the house Lord forever mean how cool is that. So as I see this inspector gadget character and I see the Maxwell Smart going through these things. You see there being pursued by these three which we really are two in each one Jesus, God the father, the chief so to speak, and in the Holy Spirit. They all have very unique ways that they help you through your adventures in all you need a counselor you need someone is full of grace and truth. At and you definitely need a father who can help you through the. The particular project. What you think about that. The characters that are in so many different movies and things. It you know quite often you'll find that they have a cast of three kind of support character at and these are what make the difference is now getting back to.

I know you're thinking Robbie, this has to be about cars, what it but also I want to think about the time were you walked into something we really didn't know what you'd and you made up what appeared to be a huge mistake like Maxwell smarter inspector gadget but then God turn that around and it turned out that you look like a hero. If you ended up being inspector gadget and you got smart because the other Holy Spirit. God the father and Jesus right there with you, and came and they bailed you out. What did that look like in your life. I would love to hear that story, I need your help of all of the day 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What's your story of your inspector gadget experience with bumbling but all of a sudden things worked out. I got some to share with you. I would love to hear yours 866-34-TRUTH 87; from upstate used-car inspection today with inspector gadget to get smart about how Don Adams played both characters. These kind of bumbling, fumbling characters that but they step in faith to go it attempt their projects, whatever they may be. And then there very capable team came in and bailed them out so many times it was unbelievable but nonetheless I'm wondering in your life working to get to some used-car inspection techniques in a minute.

First, I have to tell my bumbling and uplifting still pretty bit you know shortly after I lost the dealership and my family was kinda destitute for money, about 10 or 11 years ago and we had lost our house lost all our cars all the stuff writing a lawnmower either.

And so we had this rented this house with a fairly large yard in my file. I really gotta get up a a riding lawn more so actually borrowed some money for my mother-in-law $500 to buy this riding lawnmower and I do you know Bartolotta cars my life at this point in time. I mean only one know how many cars I'm certainly been many many a used-car inspection correcting on ports work clearly not my specialty. And so I went. I bought this lawnmower and you know it seem to check out everything was fine and started great and the course you know it's you buy it as is, and whatever will the very first time I mow my yard. Guess what, the engine seizes locks up.

There is not a drop of oil in it but there was oil in it when I start it's a felt like Barney you know that episode of Maybury where he bought the car from the little ole realtor with unfunded and I called the guy that sold it to me and said, let what's up with this new engine frozen, he said, oh man, I meant to tell you you have to keep oiling that thing about every 20 minutes. You know massive well I feel good, the bad, and so there I was with the seized engine in my use lawnmower and my llama still wasn't Don. And so I actually ended up finding a used engine was laid hundred and $25 for some felt like it was quite a fine, and I have to tell you that one of the joys of my life. My wife will tell you has been fixing this lawnmower time and again his enemies-I've had the lawnmower, maybe 11 years or so and every time I fix when I put that engine and that lawnmower man and it ran II could not of felt better about myself and I felt just like inspector gadget like man God came through for me, showed me I could put them in all sorts of things that were like that. And, oh yeah, it cost me some money to find out that I could do these things, but it was fascinating to me how God took my bumbling and my stumbling and ended up with me being here now.

My wife used to say my husband is not very good with his hands. He can't do much. You know he's but if you go ask her today. Well I do know since that lawnmower. He's really taken on all these different projects and sometimes you bumbling stumble but guess what, the father, the Holy Spirit, Jesus are all in there to help you and I would love to hear your story where you walked into it thinking, oh man now I am just totally blown it. But God redeemed it in his way. He was the hero and something wonderful happened just like inspector gadget, or just like get smart, 866-348-7884 think all the people you can encourage with your story. I would love to hear 866348 doesn't have to be about cars can be whatever 866-34-TRUTH 87884 as a member calling and share and speaking of my bumbling and fumbling, you know that there is no doubt that when I started the Jesus labor love car repair labor for single moms widows and families in crisis. I had all sorts of ways that I thought that that would first single moms widows and interestingly I just had faith that God would back me up and and he has throughout all these years now and all these different situations. But it seems like as if you hear me much. Every week I'm faced with something that I have no idea, and actually yesterday afternoon and right at 5 o'clock this widow from South Carolina called literally bawling had our receptionist and tears the story of her losing her husband and now her transmissions gone out in her car and she really is in a situation that she needs a car and so here I am again in my bumbling stumbling you know the situation of I don't know how God working to help this lady, but I know I just got a step into this and I gotta work with and so I told her on that I would say to me, or maybe somebody down there in the Greenville Spartanburg area Gaffney in South Carolina most anywhere in that general vicinity that has a car that they're not using or they want to trade in can get anything for it or whatever the situation may be that you want to donate a car if you go to Christian car guy.com for you could you could really help this lady and you know it is is often I don't know how God's gonna meet the need, but I see it week after week after week that he meets these needs and sometimes without us, but you know other ways that he meets the needs so one thing I know you can do if you're listening is pray for that window. I mean Pray that God will meet her need and that she'll know it comes it came from God, however, that works out. You know that's that's just absolutely awesome but you know that's the situation and and again you know we we run into these things all the time and that's the beauty of like if you feel like God is told you something, then you move forward so Christian car guy.com is the place to go. You know find out more, which where you can pray most, things but we will do when I walk into this used-car inspection because it is a place that I'm hoping that you'll want to go try some time to go buy a used car is there for the situation might be. And yes God and yes for advice from people and you and you do what you can to walk into the situation, but the neat thing is, to me it's a real exercise in both faith and also being in the present time at, and I don't know if you've ever tried this when you pray, but I I'd love to try to get you on the challenges of prayer is to get actually in the moment that you're praying and being able to use all your senses like your sense of hearing your sense of touch or sense of taste, all those things are they involved in your prayers.

The car shows that you may be involved in so getting back to our and and I really do hope you'll call in with some more stories. I would love to hear but are used car inspection and so it's similar. You know what I we are talking about when you're in prayer. It's hard to get in present time. Well, it's an interesting thing that when you're in prayer. If you think about what you're currently smelling which are currently tasting what you currently hearing all those things tend to bring you in the present time and is similar when you go to check out a used car is a good idea to begin to listen. Begin to smell like every car I have ever come across the came across as a very specific smell, and it's actually trying to tell you something, like if I'd really thought about what I was smelling on about that lawnmower I would realize I was smelling oil because obviously it was using a ton of but a lot of times when I went to inspect these cars and I was say I would appraise 1015 cars a day with every day of my life at different stages and so II did a whole lot of used car inspection and and one of the things I would always begin to do as I walk up to a car start to Smith because you can smell antifreeze and antifreeze is telling you that you got a water pump leak you got your hose leaking sums going on and antifreeze is a really sweet smell to it than if you email and you can open up a bottle of antifreeze and get an idea what that smells like the you be amazed how many times you walk through a parking lot and you'll smell that and you can look right at that car and say in you can say the driver. I think you got a infinitely because you can smell that at an similarly you can smell oil and you can smell other things as is. You begin to saw but it's also that way in prayer and and it's kinda cool that in the holy of holies right that they had that incense burning because you know God gave us all the senses to help us to get into the present time, and so you know smell as part of that hearing is a huge part of prayer right I mean what I've heard in prayer definitely is change my life, way more than anything I ever said. God knows what to say but man what he says. That's what the important stuff that that that I absolutely love and so you know, hearing you can hear so much of the car is you driving it. Even if you're not that familiar with cars. There's things that sound normal and there's things that don't sound normal and and don't discount what you here because I mean that's a critical part of what's going on.

Well, we got two more stories lined up so we want to get to those we got Karen is in Raleigh, Karen, you're on the Christian Car Guy show the morning I get morning, how are you doing I am wonderful.

I wanted to let you know all will clear the dollars that no traffic light and the light turned green.

The goal of the light and personnel bill the way little red light ran right in the vitamin. With that being said, the little play from behind the opening. Well, one about the man a lot different such relation and so he will you hurt that they call for backup or fortunately I wasn't part of the environment got there about the Christian further government car. It would've been in the front seat of my car. He ended up with bulletin vehicle little time for dinner at the moment I was going as your current spending of the structure you like what the world i can imagine how we see her badly broken bone look into the murky room. fortunately, that a small headache, and that amazing god came through. i think that is dear oh dear.

later i was getting out light and light. the lady in front of me.

you glance up in your mirror and plate stop yeah i have that very thing happen yeah.

well, back to my car and told that she… just a little more complete and submit them to break through the well. once again, you okay. the car was totaled. well i will okay go you precious lord he does every day in ways that we probably have no idea.

but when we love it when we can actually see them doing it so thank you for calling stephen god bless you to make you provide. if you got a story you want to share.

we would love to hear you 866-34-truth 878848663487884.

getting back to our used car inspection by which i met near. interestingly, when you're in prayer.

it's it's one of the challenges i experience is trying to be in present time so i can hear so i can see i can feel what's going on and you know we we talked about listening you know when you're in inspecting a used car when you're inspecting your own car and all these things work for that as well. but you hurt your eyes can see is is quite remarkable when you know what to look for and so i let you know this but your tires are very much a report card on the health of your car. this is basically specifically the suspension and in those kind of thing so you look at the tread wear on your tires. you can kinda tell what may be going on with the car. if you look at as a used car and you see the inside of the tires are worn i mean is that they all are telling us the story so the tires are always a great thing to look at when you're buying used car because not only can you tell obviously and replace the tires, but they also share a story about what may be going on with the suspension so your eyes come in pretty handy their course you can look at the paint and and see those kind of things, but one of the things that i like to look at what i'm looking at a used car is you can kinda see how well was it really taken care of at all.

if you just look through the glass on the speedometer. that's a real telltale thing for me.

you could a car that is really been well-maintained for whatever reason the gauges look just really clean and you can just see right there's no film over that summary take the time to actually meticulously clean that little area of the car in the little hints like that tell you things about what it looks like a course you to pull open the hood and you look at the oil in your gonna look at the transmission fluid and and see you know what is a break fluid look like in the colon itself and the units look at the color. the coolant and a lot of cars and on other ones that they used ridiculously bit difficult but the coolant itself can kinda tell you a tale of what it is. so you get your eyes what you can see and i don't know if you've experienced this in prayer, but i do quite often that you got spiritualized and there sometimes god just wows me like inspector gadget i'm wowsers that i see something in prayer. that's quite remarkable and in usually something along the sides of his glory right because you know god told us that your eyes are the lamp of the body and so it's interesting your spiritual eyes.

he tends to like those up sometimes when he's showing things and so i would encourage you as you do in your used car inspection to think about that in the ways of the way you pray that you got your eyes and you got your ears and you got your nose and the way you feel things about some things that you can feel on a car that really are remarkable and and that's another thing in prayer is you have feelings. different kind of feelings but spiritual feelings and so it's interesting, through prayer, you can go through. i a lot of times will go in confused or going angrier going to the prayer or unhappy or whatever. and i begin to feel things differently. well, if you walk up to a used car. one of my favorite things to do is go the very back of the hood and feel underneath the back of the hood because if the car is been an act and chances are it was in a frame indexed most of time is where they happen and then when they go to paint the hood. they can't get the buffer up under the back edge of the hood and so when you feel back there. i car is been painted 99 times out of 100, the overspray is there it will feel rough and if you want to do a little christian card i exercise today go around the parking lot somewhere and just feel that backside of the hoods as you walk by, then you can go out armies car expertly with this car is been painted. this one hasn't yeah you can tell that by the way that it feels.

which by the way, the second you are feeling that you can be in the present time, which is really helpful to me.

the kind of think about how your inspector gadget in your way through four here right what are you smelling what are you hearing what are you feeling and all it has to do is experiencing god and and and sensing him being so i'm so grateful for those who called and share their stories today that even though we are bumbling and stumbling. we can still end up like inspector gadget. at least we know what god's so thank you for listed they remember slowdown is worked everywhere he went, all done in 33 years and course we would love for you to visit christian card guide.com jesus labor love christian card i theater. thank you for listing christian card
