Robby really roars today! Christian Insurance Guy, Bill Mixon joins in with a special end of podcast guest. You've got the POWER!
This is Amy Thomas from the masculine podcast where we discover what it means to be a wholehearted man your chosen Truth Network podcast is starting in just seconds. Enjoy it, share it, but most of all, thank you for listening and for choosing The Truth Podcast Network.
This is the Truth Network line manager look like so don't act like so why should we expect financial 15 minutes were going to start turning the boys fanatics razors and lose their fear God and never fear me, Christian Car Guy radio show me is sin ruler. Yes, you heard me right, who is sins ruler today I'm a Christian card I show you might be surprised to actually is sins ruler and so there you go, there's there's Gen. Patton, you might've heard them. You know my management experience in life. If you want to see an example of a ruler or somebody was taking charge because no I was young sales manager and the salespeople are running all over me. My boss was my father and my father said to me, son went in charge. Take command. I mean in any of it was like take so I got it and I and I saw some things, but if you listen carefully to KB. There in her song you can hear me roar that listen to this wave is if you picture this young sales manager is supposed be in charge right and the salespeople are doing what they want to do because you know I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath scared derived rock the boat and make a mess so I sat quietly agreed politely.
I guess I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point.
I stood for nothing. So I fell for everything so you could hear her. So this has a lot to do and everything to do with Genesis 47 where came, you know, we had the situation with the offering of God's going to give him a plan where he's gonna talk to him about sin and how to deal with it. And yes, you might've guessed that you are sins ruler, because in Genesis 47 it says if you do well always talkative. Jamie said, you shall be accepted. But if you don't to weigh that well since Goliath crouched at your door and on the V shall be his desire, and you should rule over him.
Celeste, where were going with all this so I got an example of this that God taught me along the way that just stuck down in my heart so you know when I was again climbing up whatever ladder I had in the car dealership world. I had a choice I was the actual general manager Crown Dodge in Greensboro North Carolina and funny funny story actually on a Friday night, we were trying to sell this Suzuki and we did something that we called back in those days and spot delivery, which that's when somebody's credit has been approved which grab and put them in the car because you want to go somewhere else and buy a car, even though they're not approved and you hope you're going to get them approved over the week.
If you don't goes badly and that the practice is long since been outlawed but it was pretty common. Back in those days and we are pretty aggressive so we did that well this young lady went out got drunk, hit a state policeman with so I knew all about this Sunday. I was getting through the details of what we're going to deal with because this car that we had spot limited hippest state policeman all the stuff is, the very first thing Monday morning I get a call from the hole owner of crown. The crown organization which is a big deal, things Russ Reynolds. He had an office that was in the downtown Greensboro tonic store like manager to go to that office. This may not look good so I get this call first thing Monday to go up to Royces office so you know I climbed the steps up to this Taj Mahal and his secretary's name was Susan Bragg still remember this moment completely. She looks at me and she's just shaking her head like this is not coming again.
I got a bucket in this budget so Royces sit there and a couple of his other generals are right with him), and this obviously witnesses you know I'm like okay this is not good to be good so they sit me down and and and Royce looks at me and said so you know why you're here and I said well I'm guessing has some to do with the Suzuki and he says Suzuki and I went what Suzuki so I go on to describe what is happening with the Suzuki right and I can see like steam coming out of his brain while I'm watching this explanation and he says I can't use all the words that he but essentially he said you mean I am going to promote that stupid is blah blah blah blah blah in the crown organization to the most profitable store in the whole chain got a complete idiot gets fixed and I was like promote so we had a store. It was the crown Honda Volvo store and and and Royces great credit. I still I still don't believe this. They went down the way it did, but he promoted me and he said now here's the problem with the store. And here's how you're being why you're being promoted is that that service manager. This store was a captain in the special forces in the hundred and first Airborne Division and he is a very strong leader and no general manager can ever seem to get a handle on this guy and essentially I'm a tell you the story were driving to Chapel Hill and he's talking to me about all the stuff from Greensboro. You know he's really treat me like site was beautiful trip. I'll never forget it and he says Robbie, tell your story and this will help you out. Aces my brother and I were wetlands riding horses and we we went for a ride. We lived in Alabama.
We got out on the horse and there was a bridge and my brothers horse got up on the bridge it reared up and bucked him off and he's laying on the ground and I said Jim was his older brother. I said, you gotta gotta get control of that horse. You gotta show him who's boss goes all right smarty show me if you're so good you you make this horse go cross this bridge because it gets off his horse and he goes gets of fairly large branch. I will call the stick. He said it was about as big around as his arm and he gets on the horse and the horse goes up to the bridge steps rears up like it's going to back him off and he takes it branch males of across the bay it said. The horse shattered and then it walked very gently across the rest of the bridge and said he was. He looked at me. At that point in time and he said do you understand and I suggest her. I understand okay, so he dropped me off and I meet Troy Mills, who is this enough guys to be In the special for wonderful man to end up in one of my best friends.
But anyway so about two days into this journey.
This service Matt my my sales manager is out unloading a car you know the car carrier comes in and I watch my new car manager go out and he's unloading this car with Michael in the world. I'm like Zimmerman getting here.
We got customers in here that need to buy car. Your job is to be a sales manager owner know Troy is got me my job is when these cards what the world you know and I'm like no you're gonna stay in here and be a sales manager and I will deal with Troy when he comes out so I grab the car carrier tell him to go in the service department find somebody unload the car because my cars because my sales manager is clearly not going to be the one who does so predictably and about 30 seconds, here comes Troy in you can tell that he's more than a little bothered and he's like, what do you think you're doing, you been here three days and you just take out all these changes what you know I rock the boat and and he was clearly highly upset and he says what I meant to call Morgan man that Morgan man was over all the service departments of all of crown.
He was a really, really, really big deal and everybody was really afraid of him, but honestly does not really bother me that much but when when Troy said that to me. I said to him, Troy. You go ahead and call Morgan. You can use my phone right here. I'll use my cell phone to call Royce in the were to find out who runs crown Honda Volvo we come back you'll find out the rest of that story story when you're in command that you take charge of his what is it have to do with being in charge of a lot to talk about today.
Our guys show one hear your stories, 866348788.
You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com ruler and I'm telling you we're talking about my friend Troy Mills and Royce Reynolds that my friend Troy Mills. He was a captain in the hundred and first airborne and if you went into his office.
Bill, he had his Capt. bar still on his him and there was like 150 caliber shell is great big shell that was in front of it and you know he had his black beret hanging out you know you you got the picture that you know this was nobody wanted you to know he charged it and you had a sense of all that so I mean he had a command presence that was you know strong and so there I was, and he said well you normally call Morgan man, which was his boss and the overall service and I said while working to call Royce Reynolds, Ima, my cell phone and working to find out who runs crown Honda Volvo in unit C. Just hang on their well you have never seen such an attitude shift in your entire life. I have never ever forget this moment. It was like. Apparently the state could come across the head of Troy Mills and he looked at me and he said no, you're in charge of crown Honda Volvo yes sir. I'll get somebody to unload those cars and from that moment Troy Mills was an amazing service crown on the wall. I mean, he did an awesome guy in office. Awesome friend know I don't know. Coincidently he and Royce Reynolds both the Lord in the last six weeks in a race was considerably older than Troy Detroit had a stroke but anyway years later, I mean this was probably 30 years ago and we are still still good friends but you know that that you're gonna hear me roar part did you know you're born with that stuff will certainly babysit some children that it might then some children that yes came out ruined my grandson long time. My grandson my sons son and outs of the heir apparent of the deal must get sick last night and we were over is how these four years old and he had decided he was King Kong and he is he was going up against his brother. And if you could heard the roar I mean every time he would begin to engage with them. This this screen of a Rohrer.
It was it was right there so what does this have to do with sin and it's got everything to do things God was given came the keys to the kingdom right here he's he saying to cane buddy enough we take this whole verse down it says God told him if you do well you will be accepted so that word well if you really study it, and I did and I love it actually has to do with being Mary like being happy which speaks to. If you remember the verse before he said came at you so upset about nowise your countenance fallen so God is saying wait a minute. If you did, the stuff right you be happy right like his brothers happy and so the issue with this happiness has to do with how he did in that and honestly just wasn't paying attention out the cane set out to have a bad effect, or to kill his brother for that matter.
He just wasn't paying attention. That was part is the right place.
Bill certainly speak to that.
But all was not lost. At this point because he said that sin is crouched, lying at your door. I mean it. It wants to pounce.
You it but then it says thou shalt rule and if you really look at that and believe me, I spent a lot of time looking at this week. I really enjoyed doing the verb that's in front of rule is is is just one letter. It's a it's a ton of it means the end of the story is you rule okay. It's like, don't forget cane you rule you know I told you to subdue the earth have dominion over you rule you have some authority here now.
The whole thing is authority.
If you look at a menu look inside the Royce Reynolds story a minute okay because remember it was his Morgan man authority that was up against my Royce Reynolds authority. Well, if you're coming up against sin.
Don't make me have to call Jesus are you are you getting the picture means it is crouched right there and sin want to call his you know Morgan man devil. But you have phenomenal kingdom resources that you are bestowed is is is a child of the King. So you have awesome friends. Which by the way. Sometimes you need to roar so that your friends know you got trouble you got Angels you know that we literally have angels and we have the ability to call on these kind of resources unbelievable on the in the in the circumstances.
But best of all, yes, don't make me have to call Jesus okay because I was I love the way you look at me said I like: Jesus always looking for a good reason to do so right. But if you remember the time and in a bit. You do Paul was facing the demons right in there like no not Paul but the other guy got his gal beat up because they know we know who Paul is leaning his toes off the kid committed to the street right we don't know who you are, so they beat the heck out of my what was it you know that because they respected authority and people that were walking in the in authority and so you know Paul, we know Jesus. We know we don't have a clue who you are and so it's time to roar okay buddy, you know it's time to step up and and and it's an amazing thing to me how people love strength. In other words, those other people that are in your kingdom, whatever that looks like in your world right your children organized more comfortable if you're following somebody's really strong and you believe they're making really good decisions. We can think about the scenery disco and buys you drive better. So originally I thought that my Royce Reynolds troughs, no pun intended his Morgan man. My Jesus trumps you not saying that Bayway 866.
We would love your story 866-34-TRUTH 87884 your story.
When did you rule when you know somebody did your listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com when the light is out line magnets in a minute look like.
So do they don't act like so why should you be expected financial 15 minutes were going to start turning these boys fanatics raised lose their fear. The Germans God they never lose your fear me, who is sins ruler today. You might be surprised it is in fact us in the Christian Caravaggio who is sins ruler. We would love to hear your actually get a collar colony right now but we would love to hear your story. At 866-348-7884. What is that you know bring up in your heart. What would Jim remember a time. Maybe some he stood up for you and of their strength that you saw that this person was really taking command of the situation and they came in and put people in their place look like 866-348-7884 got my good buddy Bill here. Good morning, who, as usual, I've confused him before he got here so that we we even know what the subject attic actually want to change the subject in 12 hours.
Well originally. This had to do with paying attention. An idea that I paid attention. I did some study I get related that was all ready for the show as you went ha ha you paid attention.
Well it's still working to get that pay attention to heart and and that that's actually critical part of what cane experience their first got Keith in High Point with his story.
Keep your on the Christian car crash of the morning. Good morning, how are you today I am wonderful.
I'm excited to hear your verse paying amount of the quite some time now, but it in the King James version in the book of Luke chapter 10 verse 19 whole I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power and nothing shall by any means hurt and that that help me out quietly and note the encounter problems and is not blandly granted naming claimant that you believe that that really help me out. The difficult times and also Luke chapter 11 verses nine through Tinian about I ask and it shall be given 90 L grain Jesus not believe them. They all occurred and that's just what keeps me going through quite a bit. As someone for Keith and I I love you speak to this concept of authority and I think throughout the Scriptures.
You see that there's princes and all these different layers is authority that really God is telling us to grab a hold of who you really are here. You really have a phenomenal amount of authority. Weekly fill me up.
One smart phone is probably smarter than me first. You don't realize look on you you you don't realize all the things you can do well there we know it clue to like a lot of creative people. We have the Bible we don't realize all the things that are in their can we study it and continued looking at it and this is like looking at a diamond buying cut when you turn there is always something different, this is that there is the word of God is Jesus the matters is just beyond description is a lot for me, even thank you Keith.
As always that's very, very encouraging to me.
God bless you and appreciate your call and thank you, thank you for your cervical you know your laughter. That is what I hear that last little noted mild public lock off your green and white man that you know the good Lamplighter that is true. Blessed is he really is. It is it's it's it's a lot of fun in Wheeling to have fun on the show. Thank you Keith God bless up will conflict kindly of course you people worry about viruses and all that.
Remember that that Luke and but also the book of Paul 91 first no evil shall book faulty plate, not about dwelling unit was quoted that people coordinate they were to me. Quoted at the latest light okay, not on one of all of the walk that's for you and that's that's awesome thank you so of course. Thank you Keith. I'm so grateful for you. Listen every week is it's wonderful to hear good medicine for same here.
Thanks so Bill, you know, this is how this started so Sunday morning I wanted to study like I always do when I was doing like you just described and I was in the facets man. I was looking at these verses. These very verses of Canaan study and the word well, which I found that meant Mary and you know me, I like to laugh and I was all about how look at the that's really cool. And all of a sudden Jesus says let's go fish and I went really and I looked outside in the sun was just coming up and I never remember Jesus saying that at this time of the morning, just exactly like this is happening and I've got a taste. The zoom class for special needs hear it it at 830 and this is like 5 o'clock to five maybe 530 and I went really Jesus you want to go for the Cialis professional. He knows that I can only live about half a mile from Lakin and he knows right where were going go fish so I'm like all I'm all about that. Let's go fishing so my rods in the car and I just go get my car and I go over to grandma fish and I start fish in about two minutes into my fishing experience here all of a sudden because when I set out I was like oh good I get to go fishing with Jesus. I mean, this can be awesome want to go fishing with about two minutes into it. I forgot all about Jesus and I was like oh my goodness he said let's let us go fishing. And here I am two minutes and then she took a poll and not a knit. I tried vision on the other side of the docket did get to beaming over there even now actually I did catch some, but more importantly I began to really pay attention to think about the very first city was trying to illustrate to me right.
He says if you do well you should be accepted well apart from me you can do nothing. Robbie so if you want to do something well right, you need Jesus in their so Thursday morning I meditates on this with my Christian business men's committee meeting and so gave her my polite friend for 400 years is is there with me and we just talk and have a good time to make the coffee so I was making the coffee. There's coffee filters that are in a container and then there's the place I'm supposed put the coffee bits in the coffee maker, will I pour the coffee with a little scoop into the filters that are still in the filter container and gator looks at me and he says man I'm glad I saw you do that it he says it makes me feel so better to know that you do that kind of thing to and I'm like yeah I do. I wasn't paying attention and hit me like oh my goodness, how much of my life to I go through where I'm not paying attention so before K never had to struggle with sin, it says here if you do well route you'll be accepted and in that word has to do with dignity. It's really really cool word that says if you don't do well well then sin you've upped you open the door right says scene is crouches lying at the door so wait a minute I don't have to deal with the crowds line and take authority in all.
Another happy staff.
If I do well and all I gotta do to do well, Bill, and here's what comes if I pay attention. If I stay walking with Jesus. If I could stay where you know Keith was talking about. Look at those facets. Yet you once again. I started studying from a different place, but I ended up going to is he's in charge of everything God and what I got out of this was that if I've got a Julie of my life. And if I'm in a have Julie walking with God if I went to go fishing or in my case, hiking, and spend time talking to God and I'm looking forward to it in its fund that that's what God said if my life.
He had me. I was created in it together because he wanted me to pop out of my mother and pray list to spend time walking and talking and thinking and listening to God and lucky for me, my wife's voice sounds just like the well, what's your story. We would love to hear your take on this 866-34-TRUTH you're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com who the Christian car guys show and talk about that, according to God told Cain he was in year to rule. So what is that exactly look like. We would love to hear your story may be seen it happen. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 not only to have been mixing them here with me.
I have my good friend Aaron Kuhn promoted a boot camp is coming up April 16-20. Here in Winston-Salem that we do, but it's got a lot to do with this authority? It really does. I've been thinking about this particular question of rule and dominion for about three or four weeks now solid for various reasons, but this idea of having rule and dominion over sin. God made us to be rulers to be kings and have dominion over everything here on earth, including sin, and so we don't do that through our power. We do it through Jesus power, but the issue is yeah it's very real. When you suddenly become tempted with something the thought hit me.
Years ago I was listening to podcasts of somebody that I follow a lot and he was talking about how lust kinda jumped on him all of the sudden, in any started kinda going with it and then he stopped and when no wait a minute, wait a minute, I had a problem with lust in years and then it hitting that's not me that's somebody I'm getting ready to counsel and the enemy doesn't want me helping that guy get free and so he stopped and he said no.
I have rule and dominion over my life I have rule and dominion over the problem of lust and you had been around here in a while but I don't have a problem with you anymore. So get out here and literally. In Jesus name sent the roaring lion on his way and that really changed my perspective. I love Bethann did that of that changed my perspective on that whole issue when I struggle with something when I'm tempted with something, especially something that hasn't been the norm in my life or or recent in my life that thought hits me and I think no wait Jesus to take every thought captive and some of those thoughts aren't mine, you know, we think when we hear that take every thought captive Jesus said to Paul, we think is tight about our thoughts and any might be, but he may also be talking about the evil one's thoughts or someone else's thoughts have called me something or said something about me I don't have to take that I can take rule and dominion over. I love and Progress which innocence which implements progress on? I theater on its little bit but when he's walking through the valley of the shadow of death. If you recall, he starts hearing a voice that he thinks is his own blaspheming.
Yes he does and he thinks he's the one blaspheming and and it's really you know Bunyan's genius and in connection to God to share this with you that sometimes literal words and things come in your mind that that youth that sounds just like you. You talked about. Sounds like your wife will minister sounds like me and it isn't me and there and there's some insight along those lines where you can take that thought captive ago. Wait a minute I got to. That's a lie right there and and I just made the connection to that the letter that says rule. You know there's like you shall rule is what it's translated, but all they do is the Indian and when God wrote this out for Moses when he put it into Genesis.
There's just one letter and the letter is truth in it.
It's the last letter in the in the Hebrew alphabet, and so it's like the end of the story as you rule, but it's also truly the rule so see the truth and and it sets you free from this kind of shenanigans right. I like the idea that if you stayed in there in God's company enjoying your time with him you got so much more power over everything skill and then and if you trying to hide from them in your living in fear. Were you trying to accomplish things that you know if you talk to him about that he check his hated walk with you absolutely fish are high for you know will build a house you know returns to a madman and certainly that journey has been has been wonderful and easy to switch gears a little bit to the Jesus labor love which is car repair labor for single moms letters families in crisis and in so got really put it on my heart lately that that I need more margin in my life like I got too many things on me and you need to create some margin in one of the places that you really need to create some margin as you need some help with the Jesus labor leftist currently. As far as full-time volunteers of Jesus labor. Love your you're talking to.
The only person that does it. Okay are you listing the only person actually makes the phone calls to the applicants make the call to the car repair places, all that stuff is this accomplished all the bookkeeping and the stuff is all one person okay out Bob Young's wife helps me sometimes of the taxes and other stuff as far as accounting for the money but the rest of it. I could really and what I need. Thought this be honest how you can pray for me and I am not asking to volunteer when I ask you to do is pray that God will send the person to help me do this and this person needs to be gifted in dealing with people because you're calling an applicant who is hurting who scared nobody likes to accept charity and and the ability to pray with those people and get them at ease so that they feel comfortable in sharing the real need and what's really going on is is is a critical skill set and I need that I need that person could come in and and and and enjoy coming to well with this.
In other words, I'm not like I look forward to the concept of calling these people who are literally hurting and and and and and trying to discern what the need is and what's the best way to meet that and so course you go to Christian car guy.com and you can see the Jesus labor. Love you see my email if you if I do any ring along those lines, but clearly what I need is your prayers time roaring right now in my own way unsay I got to get the mail. Can I say some on behalf of you and Jesus labor love.
So if you're listening and or you know somebody maybe it's a church secretary. Maybe it's part time person who volunteers in other Christian ministry are his and paid Christian ministry of some sort may be you work for a corporation who has a corporate culture of really caring about other people in let's say you have 10 or 15 minutes during your day that you could make a phone call or to send an email or two, or just kinda be a liaison for a minute or two. It doesn't take a lot.
But if you're in a pretty standard office. Pretty standard place.
That sort of thing you're not running constantly at yeah or working from home that fits you perfectly and it's there's so many benefits to coming. Just hearing all the stories that you've told me personally off the air over the years of how you've been blessed by being able to pray with somebody who's in need. If you have the gift of prayer. If you have the gift of compassion.
Perhaps you God could use you to help out as Ozzie out in this regard. It's a phone thing completely. It's an ability to call enjoy the things of somebody don't know and discover what our God is in this and help them see that God is in it and you pretty much done all the hard work it's it's this person is just taking some time off of you so that you can move on.
So thank you thank you for praying for that I need to mention that there is a really exciting show coming on at 1 o'clock today on the Truth Network it's Amy compost picture. She's got Lt. Col.'s angry ever tired with the U.S. Army talking about the proteins so this could be a neat show. It's called the curates on 1 o'clock on the Truth Network.
