You're Almost There

Come to this very special. You're almost there addition of the Christian car – when I heard that new song by Amy Grant and Michael W Smith for the first time this week. I actually began to weep his as my mind was filled with all sorts of Christmas journeys. The amazing encouragement of those words. You're almost there. What must've been like for 14 or 15-year-old little girl in labor Mary in her innocence. A strange place away from her parents with a man who was unsure himself of what God was doing and why.

Having been there for all three of my own children's births, and most my granddaughters birth the waves of pain so so hard so gripping. Can you even imagine what Mary experienced a Christmas journey that now is depicted through the ages. You know you just know that Joseph had to say it Mary, you're almost there. The bidder had to come before the sweet you're almost there, but how many of you have had Christmas journeys. Perhaps the kid saying when will we get there in your shirt them. You're almost there will a Christmas journey. I would love for you to call and share this morning though, are the sort where you had almost lost all hope. Then, because God work this miracle through Mary's journey he came himself to encourage you and let you know. You're almost there, or in many many cases Jesus sends someone who is there. You know he's there in these sent someone else who has Jesus in his heart to encourage you, you know, when did that person show up and you knew that it was Jesus speaking you but he was speaking to you through someone else. You're almost there. We want to hear that story got started on your heart. He might've put it all.

They already you call us 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH, you might be wondering what you talk about well. Many of you may have heard my story when I was crushed between two jeeps.

I was up in the mountains of North Carolina. My left leg nearly severed and I was in a situation where it would take over the endless over an hour to get there because it was so far up in the mountains. They come to helicopter anything in there and Jesus himself came for me how to put it. Other than that, and he helped me and there was this hug and this feeling Robbie, you're almost there. You're almost there. Yet Jesus knew there was another time, not shortly after that will and following brain surgery. I developed a staff infection under a plate. They placed in Moscow in a brain abscess and for Mary, and I was fading fast and paint the waves of pain were far worse than anything I may be experienced before or since has my brain swelled under the skull at the point where I was absolutely sure it I could not make it anymore. They schedule B for emergency brain surgery to release the pressure and they were rushing me in the room. Then something happened in the operating room and I'll know what it delayed them and they pushed me over into a waiting room for what seemed like an eternity. That's when he sent her.

Jesus sent Ramona Seachrist. I'm more sure of that than almost anything in my life. She was a nurse in the neurosurgery area who just happened to be in my Sunday school class. She came in she gently took my hand and you guessed it, she said Robbie you're almost there will have. She said very little, but I knew I knew that Jesus just like the hug on the ground at the Jeep jamboree. It was Ramona's voice but it was Jesus speaking to me Robbie.

You're almost there. So this morning I am praying you a call and share your Christmas story of this sort where Jesus showed up like he did for Mary. There was a bitter bidder but then came the sweet you're Christmas almost there story, the one where you almost lost all hope. And he came, Jesus came in whatever form or fashion, with her came through someone else retain personally and the bidder came before the sweet you because of that story.

Steve you're on the Christian car crash of the morning morning.

I hear your great Robbie program first caller. I will call if you share this story probably still always wondered about the company that by particular, I was working one day at my company and great plate. Quiet, never had a single problem with five-year and there is a lot of unusual things that were happening so I began to pray and ask God you know that no company going on in the illustration right is committed to deliver Roman 828 like and went like this at prayer. I got text to a lady that promise to bring her a fridge like night before that I totally forgot about it and just laugh and a fridge arrived that morning started her and I like and I was googling I didn't have anything first five-year and so I'm not going on strike picture perfect so I go over there and in which to park. There was something not right and this guy offered to help me offer to help me fight like that right and I don't guy know you love all day okay arguing and I like Linux. Very strange. I walk over there in a long story short the guy shot me seven you shall be all all over doctors that they are literally impossible your life and the doubt started. Everyone else is telling after-the-fact in my spirit I knew it wasn't true, but I didn't know what it bears letting go the line like would you describe the young woman and me. You know, I'm so glad you're okay.

And when you're back. I who are you and explain the secretary of the very latest on the VILLAGE so she thought opening so I finally with the current asked what happened and reason. I know that that didn't happen with people that because when I die.

Jesus gave me immediately that my son called my name. First of all, it is not my earthly name I know what it is but it only for me and I can't help it.

My eyes open PART that my son I will heal you and right there will be a lot of fun. A lot of things that and but I think I need to do back here to that happening.

There was a guy much like I know what I need to meet that guy. Why government barbecue became an something similar happening avoided. Not that kind of help, gunfire, all that but I think liturgical and he was yet to come back tell the story and quite useful to come back I could to do.

You know you know you were not sure I will make notes for me guy like 90 going on here so that thing that happened to me at the Dutch that never walk to wake up out of your vegetable when I woke up I was glorifying God like a lady.

Unbelievable yeah, but what you shared with I know that experience the operating room. I got you know okay rush called me to speak at one of their and I and I knew go speak speaking to a group that the predominant group and it was a complete opposite Christian people there dynamic but I spoken in afterward. The guy came running up to me girl was a surgical nurse my door like you quite often and I share the truth with: hope that you not don't even think that the court begin to tell them about you know what God that doing just so I can't tell you how thankful I am that you share because I'm thinking that there's somebody out there right now who is one in his God really alive is got a really bare is he showing up for me and Steve is testifying. I'm testifying and hopefully other people calling today and testify are God's not dead, he's alive, he's gonna show up when you need him. You will blow you away is so exciting because like you showed up for Mary that day in Bethlehem, he will show up for you to find out what you need to do to get them in your heart because it's it's it's a big part of it in that Steve will compare on earth, especially what he has for an nonstop pitch like that. Just hearing that was awesome.

Thank you. I haven't hearing the story Steve, I had not had no idea. Thank you. How so we are praising God.

Today we want to hear your story.

It it it it it may be a lot simpler but is just as glorious as Jesus came for you and gave you hope when there was no hope. You see, that's where the password shows up 866348788486634 to 3. Would love to hear your story. We have motives in Raleigh, have we come back we are to get to how to check your transmission fluid is already way were not forgetting that ordinarily bit more about John Bunyan contractor followed all over the place.

So stay tuned.

We got so much more and and and so glad to have you on the Christian car guys show this morning with the sound like a car song but it has to do with Jesus and so many different ways.

The Christmas journeys that we've all taken when was it like Mary that the order in this difficult situation almost lot losing all hope and then all the sudden Jesus shows up and changes everything.

We just heard absolutely glorious story on the Utah but we need to hear yours or something out there listening to David need some encouragement. They think that there is no hope that God's not that God's not there for them. Show them he's there. How we came for you. 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH we have motives is in Raleigh. She has a situation need some help mold here on out we had her in Raleigh and she got on during the break that happens but she can sure call back in 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and this gives a great opportunity joy because one of the places when I lift lift the hood to check the transmission fluid. I'm all too well aware now it's easy enough to check the oil you did pull out the dipstick fees enough to see the antifreeze through the window. It's easy to when it comes to transmission fluid. For whatever reason, the manufacturers of never deciding working to be consistent were all gonna do it this way the old way we thought we did it with General Motors cars right was Durrant you're in the car you left it in park, but he didn't check the transmission fluid with the engine stopped you had to have the engine running in park and then you pulled out the dipstick but they're not all like that are the Jewish not anymore. That is the old school for most cars nowadays you have all kinds of different stuff. There's some Mercedes and Chrysler vehicles that only come with the dipstick. It's a special tool you have to buy off about $100 that not all school Chrysler that we put it in neutral.

If not, in part, just to throw little you know and and so the older Chrysler vehicles that had a dipstick at automatic transmission. By the way, because if you remain a transmission like old red, you don't check it that way at all.

You have to pull up the little plug and let the old school Chrysler car running in neutral when shower stalls, dangerous but with emergency brake on thoroughly because you know I do distill that story by getting crushed between the Jeep that happened because the man got out of his Jeep without engaging his emergency brake and he was uphill from me and I was at the back of my Jeep that my son root beer and here came this Jeep down the hill so engage emergency brake is even not a bad idea to check the tires is not as with digoxin. Get that car so as not to move, put it in neutral with it running and now now the monkeywrench reluctance you got all that now you get a Hondo's same dipstick and all, but UTEP there's a call to call Jackie. Check those with out the engine running while and see again. This is why I tell you every week almost your owners manual is so invaluable is what we want to confuse you, but there it will give you that the step-by-step extraction instructions of the Safeway to check the transmission fluid in your car, but it is critical if you run low on transmission fluid. Where are your clutches. You do all sorts insane things that cost you all kinds of money and if you start to see a red puddle underneath your car that looks oily that usually is transmission fluid and checking it becomes absolutely vital.

We have Mike is in Durham, North Carolina. He's got almost there story force Mike around the Christian car – a what you got force, but the local going out the plate and out went out that the full title would look for a clean bill. Unfortunately, I'm sorry. Glial pickup and followed the inlaid. The law you think it went out and I got thank you mom down and out with the writer figure. I will live to get one and all get on the phone that will affect I claim Salamon and with a good guy want to grab Kermit Miller looking back at you is offloaded and laid me down in the black like a newborn baby that Chris is an hourly new phenomenon, a concept that elevates that the relative theft of that data also letting them wonder awfully defective billing. The gravity well my not always what you doing that is exactly right that's serious when you are laying there in the grass were you burned people out of the five year yield to lobby most weight to give me a lovely member, but nowhere near if you look at it might not bless you. Thank you. Wow, that's powerful mad about all yes said he could he make you almost there buddy. Thank you God bless you and appreciate you calling and so much Mike.

Wow. You know, he promises easily come through the flames were usually and we need to hear your story. 866-34-TRUTH 878-848-6634 truth and another thing I wanted to mention on the show today because we we get a lot of calls about how do I find a good inexpensive used car and I know one of the things that the lady from Durham was, she desperately needs a van to help with her ministry and so how is it that one of the basics to finding a good inexpensive used car and we get the sky because I get those kind emails all the time. I wrote an article, the five basics of that the Christian car diatom Christian car guide.com and it's the five basics and finding good cheap used car and number one, you may not be shocked his prayer and an really God wants just like he was down with that man's arm and that Nino and he was like Matt he wants to be with you in the car dealership.

There's plenty of fire going on there prayer is critical involve him in the situation.

The ease can really help you sort out what to do between needs and wants and having sold cars for years and years.

There's a giant difference between needs and wants. We have the things that we want and then there's things that we need in God can really help us do that. Especially when it comes to the good inexpensive used car. My number two principal is that the early bird catches the deal numbers nowadays with Craigslist and eBay and all these different things when something that's really a deal shows up on Molly's list because there is 40,000 people.

Following it. If this is the time where you leave work that that cars for sale and you got up with a person and there it is and it looks like the perfect one, and you don't want to get set up like my other friend and go someplace where there waiting for you with Johnson got to be careful about the paper at all that this is another place prayer comes in really handy, but often you'll see there's the deal and I went through this with my son. Not long ago where he was this Grand Am. It was exactly what is looking for and it was a great price and as soon as I saw it on Craigslist. It showed up within 10 minutes of the posting. I saw it. I called the lady I said are you there now. She said yes, I'll be right there and when I was right there right nobody else can buy and I was the early bird. The next thing that I cannot explain this so important. I mean I can't in impress the importance of is to get it checked out by a professional somebody like Joey, it is somebody that you know and trust with that brand of car in and so if you don't know anybody that knows Nissans taken the Nissan*they know Nissans but you need somebody who is familiar with. Because all cars are different. I Joey and his idle if you know I do track check the transmission and the Mercedes. The you know it's it's one of those things. So when you have a car checked out. Yes, it may cost $100 that might be the best hundred dollars you ever spent.

So if you're seriously interested in buying the car, especially inexpensive used cars have it checked. That's so critical to get a couple more those principles. We got some more callers with their almost their stories and we value 866-34-TRUTH 7884 because of your story. I love the fact when it seemed hopeless and all of a sudden on that Christmas journey, whatever that look like you're almost there you heard that in some way from him. We got Larry Linda, excuse me, Linda's in Cary, North Carolina Linda you're on the Christian carcass of the morning good morning I'm wonderful and so excited to hear your story. Well, my story happened here out. On my way back, and mouth track and the traffic was pretty afternoon.

I actually had to get up in the left lane of traffic, and create in Petersburg is coming out tonight at and little weight, not to car traffic backed up and then reelected me about it if I went out down the right amount made at 20 miles out apostolic transfer that was one of the rate that all the traffic with fact that you decided to go Hannah Randy because we Artie think that finally patrolling all the people they didn't accept work in a 50 miles I will start line down the right when he handed him and I pulled a little diver. I remember hearing of rumble like the rumble out of the right.

Next thing I remember her not amended, crank, and I went airborne and no thought of going in late three know how dear work, what with that date and when Outlook public got between policy culvert that was underneath the cannot get it I would've turned the truck back door flew open and when I came today I came with that but I could hear the man pulling and going down to the UK be called 91 And the next thing I need for any thing, and carried me up that day for me and that he met black. I found out later, the rate that they would lay they had Artie got the nutmeg Artie got off of work and they had to go back and come to get me the highway patrolman got in the truck and unite man like that driver to keep everything, all the other cart window with going to happen debacle: where they were going. Neither transcriber with no waiting at the delivery stuff like that ever got me capable I'm going to I'm going back that horrible backlit tractor bridges all over my body.

They could meet one hospital at that half the girls name was never thinking that in the report, take out the dedicate checking out explain anything and I'm not that they held my between her every Baby, they found out I did have tractor but they did have an urgent Eric that they had to transport me of the Richmond to the hospital. There was a thousand miles away in Arizona.

That woman called Delta on out-of-state that I remembered my dollars number and she count on her own, got in touch with my daughter alternate with the children to K Kayla date for the Richmond hospital at the time they transferred me to urgent and you have to stay that God with all the way and that this was just little more than a year ago and haven't been able to celebrate Christmas. Not when I came home from that eight euro grant that came back that grandmother write you a letter and I call it my red ladder lack hearted.

He had been given a certificate and I began to wonder what is a certificate that Christian had when he got to the gate because his friend ignorance when he got there he was allowed in the gate because he didn't have the certificate and if you look in Ephesians John Bunyan was kindness gives us the reference where he actually told us that when you believe you are marked in him with the seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession. So this taste of heaven that we heard from Linda.

We heard from Stephen so many phenomenal call today and I've had myself when Jesus had me our limit. You heard my story that taste of heaven is so real, but to get it.
