Blessed Are the Poor In Spirit

Will be you Christian Car Guy radio show and Blessed are the poor in spirit what great lyrics the yard that's a hardluck life treated we get tricked instead of kisses we get kicked, it's a hard knock life. One of the great joys of being a Christian car guy is I get to call the applicant's on the Jesus labor love. That's car repair for single moms widows families in crisis and when they answer. I often get the sense that I'm speaking to Annie from the musical seriously and is a hardluck life that is to say, instead of treated we get tricked you can hear their voice instead of kisses we get kicked and if you could get a sense of it. It's a person is been beaten down and taken advantage of too many times Jerry absolutely.

Another thing is I think some to a more extended degree than others, but we've all been there at some point, so no wonder they don't trust me and are often skeptical of what's this ministry going to do for me and I went what he meant what works. The catch, so to speak. And so there I am in this conversation with this person that you know and again I guess got training for this all my life.

Because I'm a car salesman every effort to sell the passion and know what I mean is everybody ever want to open a car lot immediately.

Didn't trust me, I was just part of my life.

And so it was, you know it's been my life to try to figure out a way to show somebody I really am trying to help you in spite of the fact that the Tennessee were the sketches but anyway so I normally just ask them to know tell me what's going on in your car and you know they'll tell me, usually of the story is not very pleasant and and quite often loaded with all these people.

It took a manager and then God gave me this years ago and it like it is change my life and it certainly changed a lot of people's lives as I've been able to experience. Just being obedient is pretty right then and there. Right after they share their story always asked him, is it okay if we pray just that simple.

Is it okay if we pray in an I've never had anyone even come close to trainee down the usually like it you can tell he cut a positive light. Yeah sure you know that the great and God gave me this amazing prayer in the format of this prayer.

I really can't take any credit for but what it does is unbelievable. And I'm sorry I thought I would share that with the listeners today to come see what God gave me on the way to help people trust you that don't trust you. So the way I start out this prayer is heavenly father, thank you for Marjorie.

I use my mother's name Mark because that's just you fill in the blank whoever that the applicant is and thank you for her courage to ask for help. Thank you father that Marjorie trying to take care of her family and provides safe transportation that we need your wisdom and your help to know what to do and thank you that I know you want to meet Marjorie right here, right here at her point of need and I know you want her to know you care and you will take care of her and I asked this in Jesus name that seems like a really simple fairly quick prayer and I wouldn't believe this.

I really will if it if I experienced it so many many times more often than not, and I'm telling you. Most of the time the applicant will have gone from the hard knock knock attitude to actually in tears and you can hear it in their voice that they are crying that prayer touches their heart in a way that really it doesn't touch my and so this week I mean I was jealous.

I was like God I don't get this because I I've done this so many times in and why are they feeling this so deeply at the point of tears and I'm not could you imagine praying with somebody and all of a sudden you see them just been deeply moved by God.

But in your move Deming you know God's and their but you're not to the point that they are and you don't see what's going on there and his answer to me was Rob because I really want some of this I was like God I need to know what is it that I'm missing.

And he said Robbie the applicant's are poor in spirit any kind of took me to this passage in Mark 10 where you had the rich young ruler and the amazing wisdom that Jesus told him where he said to that young ruler who called him to go to the beginning of the conversation. He said one thing you lack go your way. So whatever you have and give it to the poor. You have treasure in heaven.

Come, take up the cross and follow me see when you have nothing but God your poor in spirit. And when Jesus meets you up at place tears flow not just financially. My father and a good good friend of mine lost their lives recently. Rob Young was letting about young my first Christian junkyard guy lost his son.

You talk about porn spirit. There is no way to even communicate how they felt when I mean riches meant nothing to the nothing means anything when you're at that point a loss and you you can imagine being more spirit, more points per spirit, but no doubt that God had in each one will tell you a very unique way that God came after them in that place. When they were totally destitute of spirit totally without anything but God and the tears came. But you know Jerry you can't just in a just because you're the one praying and just because you know this intellectually doesn't help you.

Just all of a sudden get there. You know that you said to him in statement you made how this is a simple prayer and this is a lesson I learned in and took me a while to learn it when I was elected as a deacon and then later an elder at Palmdale was effective.

You go to a home with somebody just broke and I mean it could be a financial broken by that it can be an illness. So whatever early on, always keep thinking you know what I need to know that what what is that special Scripture that to read to missing to make everything better and it took me a while to finally realize well spending time with a good buddy of mine that was going to cancer or T-ball was nothing but just spending the time and reflecting Jesus Christ. And it wasn't anything elaborated wasn't any kind of scholarly was just just a simple prayer and all the sudden being in the instrument that brings somebody closer to Christ and at least allows them to know you know what there somebody here on earth and cares about you, but more importantly there's somebody in heaven that cares about you and at that that is powerful. It really it really is and I sit back in amazement of it, and so many things can fill us up. You know, our pride, our wealth, our work, our family, I praise God he notes to break as he knows how to break and so we can bless us and so now let's turn that on you. Your listening when were you there when did you get porn spirit. You didn't know how your to get out of that car problem. Or maybe it was a house problem or maybe a family problem when were you there. Do you remember when God came in, the tears came all that that that moment where all the sudden Jerry you know that Jesus sees you and he cares where Blessed are you, for yours is the kingdom of heaven. That's the Blessed are the poor in spirit right there is yours is the kingdom of heaven because at that point in time you get to touch it.

I share that please opportunity God that I'm grateful for that opportunity, which I did not know I can have your and 13 question. Your thing about being court spirit to make it quick for some spring training Being court spirit to some degree my entire life I can go with the reason why I'm not going to do that because I'm in a tight focus. Basically, one day after my divorce, my car blew up because I was used to my ex-husband changing oil. I did a lot of things but that's one thing he did really take care and even got that I did. I didn't know how everything works in the car blew up my family and help me in to get my card even though I didn't have what I was adult content with what I had barely felt I needed something better or safer God's blessing again so I had a situation where my family could not help out. My dad is on the phone and he said I can't help you. I don't know what to say and not understand that on okay I'll figure it out and basically I went into the bathroom.

There, at Fort Durst life that they had told me about my car and I simply wanted to look up at the ceiling, but I was looking at the got my head and I just said okay what he wanted to get an eye full time on money was scared and I fed what you want. You know you don't do something here.

I don't know what and I and my friend in type I diabetics that, though, in that case got new in order to keep my son here. I had traveled had with that and make a long story short, human adaptive prayer. My father called me because he did have connections with cars in the carpet and he said miracle. I don't know what to tell you. Somebody just called me and are doing me a favor and told me there was a I think with the new Concentra 26 at the time and and somebody returned it very low mileage that you need to show up at the right time today and that car was purchased for me on my family and don't you know I do know the people that pray for vehicle and it doesn't happen in the lion family, friends I met people like that. I don't have an answer. I don't know why that one case got answered my prayer and didn't answer there.then at the time and I want I don't know that God plays a hard knock but all I can say is I was done I didn't know what. And I knew that my children rely on me and got provided ample very beautiful beautiful story. Janice and some things to jump out at me was you turns to your earthly father, into your heavenly father. An interesting in God's grace and just phenomenal giftgiving spirit that he has he allowed your father's heart to be blessed by helping you know. Yeah it came from God.

But when it comes to your fathers to you. It's you know what a gift what a picture I just you know just touched that you would call him and ensure that an and when he said that all up story and the poor in spirit, and then situation that hit home and then home to thank you. At this time on a lot of stuff all day and fight white greater opportunity and to publicly give praise to God or in a book or miracle like that to be able to publicly for anyone to hear that God provided me with you right now. Janice, I would love to, because I really my family really does need prayer. Although I doubt I understand I am just I'm blown away and I'm sure many blown away by Genesis courage to call in and share such a story I blown away by the way you met her need and and I'm so grateful that you are still touching lives all over the place and and and you see us and you see us at our point of need, and you even know better.

Thank you. 86487884 is a number to call and share your story. I are in. Four beers, the kingdom of God.

What an amazing promise 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

We would love to hear your story of when God came for you when you are poor in spirit. Whether that look like what is what happened that caused you to get there and how to be bring you out. We just had this amazing amazing story from Janice and God may be poking you in the room saying here's your chance. Chris, when you were a witness to what God did in your life, you encourage so many people across the country, but hear that story and they think God will be there for me and the Jesus label is what we talked about Jerry insofar as we see this every week car repair labor for single moms widows families in crisis across the country. We see the needs and we hear the stories and it amazes me how God comes through time and time and time again.

It it's there at our website. Christian car guy.com if you want to you to see the Jesus labor love tab you can apply for help or you can apply the pray for their team. You can donate a car at a car promised in a Seattle Washington. So it looks like Rick and Anita somebody in Seattle Washington that needs one at some point.

I guarantee there's somebody there things that call and we we got another car that we desperately need in the Raleigh area looks like we've got one going to a lady in Richmond but but also there is the opportunity to give their and and if you see there on the side of the Christian car guy.com the front and center where if if somebody feels led to give to this. I know I feel like I'm the lucky one that I get to be there at the point where God meets these needs and I get to hear the tears and I get to hear the, the joy that God is meeting their needs. There what happens as a result of what everybody's doing.

The people out there repairing the cars the people that are giving the people that are praying and all that makes it a ministry bit you know God gave us Jerry through the radio and it's really through the listeners. It all happens there so many pieces to it to make it happen. Restore thank you how God aligns all this and makes it happen is truly am.

You know that it that God hand was in it and God had a purpose for this Internet.

One thing by doing that.

Is it when you meet people's needs and you do it through Jesus Christ. I mean, you not only just meeting that physical need of a car but your meet that spiritual needs because I need to know that people care form and that's what that's what were called to do as brothers and sisters, is to be there for each other. The community of believers is one of the example, the New Testament churches what Jesus labor. Love is all about and you know and and you mentioned all those areas need somebody to just be praying about the situation. Usually people answer the following. You people helping coordinate all of this in a one thing we certainly need are so many areas we need facilities companies that are willing to you know that there's somebody out there listening this morning that owns a that how easy the rest of their arrange for quasi-regular oleanders are one of the things that we just don't have many of you don't really think about that how you and I drive a wrecker service and how can I how can I help the kingdom and you know you just think that I can do as far as that goes. You know what there is because there's a huge need for that if you own the facility is mechanical body shop Tolan tire shop.

I mean just be praying about. If you feel God is been pulling on your heart to to get back in some where you been really filling that urge to do that. Maybe maybe this is what God is looking for you to do to step up and do that and if you're looking in an area that those service facilities are at go to the website and look and you know also appears with you looking for somebody to do service on your car, mechanical work, car work, took a sip of somebodies and vodka Jesus labor love because one thing you're probably getting somebody who's gonna treat you like a brother in Christ, and that goes a long way and they're willing to give back to the community's just like chips, officers, and later Kentucky stepped up big time this week and I'm always amazed at how these different ones. You know, come around it at different times.

But right now we go talk a little bit about your car may be poor in spirit, which you know it's it's that time year. Jerry started showing up right now that is coming through all this snow. If your North Carolina body submitted. They probably had it worse another place in Salt Lake City but one of the tricks that we wanted to share. I don't know if it's a trick.

But anyway, I discovered this because my daughter has a Volkswagen had these really dingy headlights and so maybe your headlights are got to the point where you can't see so well at night and it really bothered me that I was my wife. My daughter's car wasn't safe and so you know I got in this kit actually free from somebody that sent me to check it out and I use that on the headlight and it do much and so I went to the parts store sitting on the jury that I didn't. I should really ask for help from acts but instead I went to the parts store like I often do sports guys know a lot nice know what's the best thing to do on these headlights make. I said well the best thing is not anything we sell everywhere you find an honest guy like that. He says best thing to do is a buffer and I thought okay why don't have a buffer but I have a drill and I have a pad that you can in the little buffing pad and iced so went down to the hardware store I got some of that compound because you used to work in the body shop years ago, so I knew little bit about they got this compound that you actually spin the buffer and it gets on the buffing wheel with that and I went out to my daughter's headlights and all my soul.

I mean they look brand-new. Jerry and like moments I was like why did I know this my whole life I could've no and then, of course, since you know your market kit with a hammer and I will hit everything out you like all of my wife's headlights and old red eye. Next thing you know, everybody's headlights were the cleanest, even though now there's a couple things to be aware of doing that, how many, that is, that's what we do.

We will send now 2000 grid paper and and buff them and put some wax on because the wax will keep it as you do open up the pores in that plastic.

So for some wax in there and keep it where the last long at some point you have to do it again. One mistake a lot of people make when they do that to think that saying in it in will get too rough of a griddle get up 180 or something and just really messed satellite apps that allow your better off not even saying if you don't have to be either the sand and nothing I am about their more aggressive than a 1500 within the other thing and I know that Robbie's it got some body shop experience, so he didn't make this mistake. If you're not used to using a buffer very much always take some duct coming up duct tape is a masking tape and tape out around the light because you have those body parts that are painted that are surrounding the light, and you can add your next letter you know that having our starts look really great if it has to do that that away. The buffer doesn't take the pain off of the surrounding parts and not to mention a distance for all the compound all into the cracks where you get to get toothbrush at their data unit and get that off there that right after doing it because of the sits there for 24 hours or day. It's almost like concrete in his so I mean what a way to make your car safe know is just to get the headlights you know that they didn't have headlights back in the daily were glass so when this is one thing about plastic is, but headlights is generating all that heating. That's where that tarnishing comes from is because the heat in the just always a Muppet milk some up and some lice can also look to make sure that you're not hidden them too hard whenever that tarnishing is on the inside of the light in which some vehicles that is the issue and said matter how much rubbing you to who is not in place to cover yeah, and there's no way around there hundred and some dollars apiece. Most cars are interfacing, but another area that just takes a lot of work. I know you work on them all the time his wheels all my work and all that break test just has to get all over those wheels and you know there's there's nothing like having the right tools to do the job and my rancher absolutely chrome in the end polished wheels. The Brillo pad to clean that stuff off is not the answer. Also, please go and then II saw thing on the web.

Just today I was looking at this refresh my memory in this guy actually suggested using Comet and I'm like oh this not only let me just warn you, no no no no no not use, on chrome. We are your car leave Comet in the house is messy or some porcelain on your guard, where it is not the answer to anything that I have seen as a people that people come in and put Comet and wash the car would comment get the real man that owns that owning one and only day and the other things dangerous as far as wheels list.

You know how to use it and there's a lot of people a lot of the parks doorknob by wheel acid, O my soul, you know, please, please, and let us know what you do and do not try this at home folks. I mean, I've seen professionals get really badly hurt USENET asset on the net somewhere. You have to use goggles and rubber gloves and there are easier ways to do it at his stay away from Brillo pads, guard show coming up for spirit can amazing stories we've heard.

There are some sprays that aren't loaded with acid that make a whole lot easier.

Oh yeah coming really will walk my guys use when the cleanup is issues in purple power clean.

It just that even with that, you still need to get a reinstall and a lot of people do all fourth same time and come back and rinse them all off my sister bad habit is your new one will rinse all of the residue off and go to the next AR and that purple is my guys used to discount purple people in the car business.

Know what purple means that purple powers is some wonderful stuff and won't hurt you. If you have skin on your skin is nothing you want to keep their is not like wheel acid or something crazy like that. Another thing in and I'm not a big person on pressure washers and all a lot of reasons and I know you're not anybody's ever wash the paint off of the car understands which don't use a pressure washer for one of the things that I do take to that quarter carwash thing for up to pressure wash his formats.

I've never heard a floormat with a pressure washer but oh baby, will it clean that dirt right out of I've actually you may say Robbie. Kind of crazy. Why that I've taken the seats out of my car when I got stained really bad and taken them over the pressure washer mean that's how we will use to detail cars that's what you did, you took the seats out and you pressure washed them leave mountainous. I don't want to do that when they would say wet but it's amazing what you know the soap from a pressure washer will do on I'm not claiming any if you hurt your vehicle or your formats. I take no responsibility so every call – ego binds to be with us, car seats out there. If you listen to Robbie. Just make sure you dry them out. I think I'll have a disclaimer right if you're gonna do this you need to sign a waiver that Robbie didn't tell you really what what what was stopped on pressure washing us another thing that people make mistakes because they get a spot or something and he bring a nozzle right down with. Then they really think a month. 29 a spot off you. They bring it off for that paint you down to the cellular and then there's there's Jerry's pet peeve in the world. I know what it is before even goes there. People put on their cars.

They think it's no big deal, but with that of which one of the yeah yeah people do not realize that magnet will ruling your paint so if you put a magnet on always to if you won't if you feel the need to have my child is a a student at whatever score I go to whatever it may be real of dogs. Please move that thing take it off and leave it all cleaning behind it and move it around on your car because it'll itching to that paint. One thing you do it or discolor US a car stating if you don't move it.

You have a spot there one sooner. Ladies had taken out the does a mess dress your car but the worst thing is that will itching get to moisture in behind it and will itching the pain to get rid of Philadelphia. You take the paint off with it and is at its ugly it is. Yeah, you gotta move them or lose them preferably well. I will go there.

The next thing we once I was. I was curious enough grills are particularly hard to clean in my opinion, unless you have again the right equipment. I went back to the wheels. A good wheel brush is really good and just, yeah, if you know how to use a wheel brush and they have a long handle on Avenue a certain kind of bristle. You can buy many parts store and they will make that job a lot easier. But when it comes to grills. One of the experts at Ray's body shop use well the thing is you. She's a real soft brush and just get in there.

You know if you got enough time and then patients. You can always take a rag and just keep going to eat after you click Google and stuff. I like yeah but it's the same thing is just a matter of get it all rinsed out of their but their Dominican anything, did you know when you start using other chemicals is just read what you're using my car. It's not going to take off the right.

The finish because that's plastic and it doesn't take a lot to remove yeah you got that butterfly off their but it took a big piece of the Argent with it you know it. That is a people realize now chrome is not chrome meadow anymore own cars chrome plastic and it doesn't take much to the cause damage to got one more for you, but I'm curious, what does Ray's body shop experts. There do to deodorize that car will it need some help is kind of a tricky thing because people will get offended to deodorize a car season will ask him most.

You do one thing you can do in this assent we don't do bit. We have suggested before Cupid set up box of baking soda in your car in the trunk and also in the car for a few days and leave it is amazing how just that price at older and pulls out her sword same principles when he put in the refrigerator and you can also get that you get that glade things just stick on the Vance anything like that just brush that's an amazing thing that Lysol itself out which you know I'm not a strictly Faneuil Lysol spring and in the Vance kills the bacteria that causes that's rusty smartness thought smell but we got a collar on him to see if we can get them in real quick here Jasper.

She was an event the car while she was in town about 20 seconds of the really quick anyway. She ended up filing a new car and you know I need to tell the story another time and admire better when I will hope that you call back please merely we would like, okay, next week I think you Christians are gauche and remember Jesus slow down for slow down and looked everywhere he went, got it all done in 33.
