Absolutely, we're not going to go there. Please, don't I know what
you're thinking? What did I stumble upon? Right? What should I just
stumble upon? Well, you just spungled upon the fastest talking biblical podcast on
the Internet. Now before you stop the podcast, maybe you stump upon us.
Maybe we're delivered here by a friend, maybe you saw it on a
social media link. But whatever reason it is, you're brought there today for
a reason, believer or non believer, we'd love to have a little bit
of fun talking about biblical versus the Bible and tied around things here in the
world, maybe things you've seen I seen, or what we're going through collectively
here in society. So sit back and relax and enjoy another episode here of
let's get biblical with your host yours truly KD. Now today is something a
little bit different, as you guys know. This year we have gone to
one show a week on Wednesdays, and that's because we want to fill you
up. It's almost like going to a small group. You've gone to church
on Sunday. Now here it is Wednesday. You're starting to dry up with
a little bit of faith in your body. It's kind of like putting gas
in your car and you start to feel it wind down. Things are starting
to happen. You're getting a little more irritable, You're getting a little more
upset. You want some more joy in your life. Well, the best
way to accommodate that is well start digging into the Bible and the good old
sixty six and see if things happen, or even look around the world you're
in and find the light in the dark that we are in now. I
did this the other day on my way to work in the great city of
San Antonio, Texas, and I saw a man on the street corner and
we've got a lot of homeless here in San Antonio from time to time.
But they're great people. A lot of them are really good people. Me
working in the city being around a lot of homeless as a tour guide,
you get to know some of these people. But as I'm driving to work,
I pull up to a red light, as we always do, right,
we all pull up there and we'll see a guy come up with a
sign or a woman with a sign, and your first inkling as a human
being as to what clam up, roll the windows up, shut her down,
as Clark Grizzold would say on National Lampoon's Vacation, roll them up,
you would, you'd roll them up, you would? You lock the doors.
You look down at your phone like you got an important phone call at
six forty nine in the morning, and you just kind of ignore and move
on. And then you're like, well, maybe I should have gave them
something. Maybe you're one of those people's like, well, all they're gonna
do is spend it on drugs and alcohol. Let me tell you something.
I used to believe that too. And you know what, once it's out
of our hands and into their hands, it's not up to change up to
us to change them and that little bit of change or money you may give
them, or a food item or maybe even a clothing item. I've given
them the jacket off my back before, and I don't do it so they
will be rehabilitated. I do it because that's what I'm supposed to do as
a child of God, is to love on everyone and pass it on.
This is what we should be doing. You may not have much in your
car, you know what, Let's break it down even further. And this
is something I've got to work on too. As a Christian. We may
have nothing in our car to give them a value, food, clothing,
money. We may not have anything, but we do have prayer. We
do have a smile, we do have our voice. There's a lot of
power in our tongue. It can hurt, diminish, or even heal people,
even the slightest rolling down the window. Hey listen, I don't have
anything, but is there anything I can do for you? Pray for you?
Is there any specific need? What's your name? My name's Daryl,
Daryl. Nice to meet you, man. Is I'm sorry? There ain't
much I can do. I just wanted to say hello, have a great
day, and I know that God is shining upon you something that simple right
will change the day of that person, and who knows, may change the
course of their life because you may be the only person that speaks God into
him that day. Now, I saw this on the corner the other morning.
Man comes up. He is dancing, clapping, stopping his feet,
just enjoying life. It was cold out. He had a short sleeve on
with a beanie. Maybe it looked like jeans, but they were pretty tattered
up, kind of almost looked like capris at this point. But man,
he was so joyful, bouncing around, enjoying life. And at first I
thought he was just someone that was spreading the gospel, right, someone that's
just from a church and maybe out there doing the good deed. And then
your human side kicks in your brain and you start thinking, oh, God,
here we go. Or roll him up? That you do? You
think, roll him up? And then the next thing I thought was,
you know what, No, man, I've got a little bit of change.
I've got a drink here that I haven't opened. It was for me
for the day, But God is so good. I had another drink in
my car that I hadn't fully drink from the day before, So I'm like,
let me at least give him a drink. So I rolled down the
window and the first thing he says to me, don't want any money.
I don't want any money. And this guy was hurting. You know,
he was hurting, your prototypical homeless person, missing teeth, his eyes were
yellow. He just he his body. His exterior did not look well,
but man was his soul amazing to be on the corner, not knowing what
his life is like. But you have an inkling. Maybe he lives on
the streets, in and out of shelters, and you sympathize for this person.
And God has been teaching me this year the word empathy grace. He
showed it me the other night when my San Antonio Spurs lost again. Okay,
I was crying, all right, So that's empathy right there. But
get him. The next morning, when I saw this joyful homeless man on
the corner, just going to town for the Lord, he left his he
it's so cool. That's why I'm stumbling rolled down the window. Don't want
any money. I just want to tell you, Jesus loves you. I
love you. Lord loves us all. And he starts clapping and dancing and
stopping his feet. It was the most beautiful sight of joy I'd ever seen
in a very long time. I see the joy of a mom's eyes looking
into their babies. I see a father when they're playing with their kid.
Joy. I see that joy. But to be in such a hardcore predicament
in your life, to still be out on the street, to be raising
the name of God and pure joy, showed me how real God is.
A lot of us complain, a lot of us go through issues, some
deeper than others. But we don't have to live there. You don't have
to live in pain, agony, sorrow, suffering daily. God does not
want want that. He wants pure joy to be upon face. And I
posted this on my personal Facebook page the other day. Of course, it
has Jesus in a little lake, black and white men in black jumpsuit and
he's dancing and it says haters, hater's gonna hate. Well, my post
said this, I just saw joy from a homeless person. I wish we
could have this type of joy in us. He said he didn't want any
money. He just told me Jesus loves me and continue to sing on the
street. Corner. I just thought that this was cool and really made my
day, and hopefully it made his, because I know it made Jesus smile.
Why can't we be more joyful? We have more than the homeless at
times, and even though sometimes we think we don't have more, go ahead
and find your joy. Think of that person on the street corner that doesn't
have what you have. A job, a roof over your head, maybe
not be the best roof over your head, but it's something for now.
I have lived in horrible places and finally have gotten to where God is placing
me right now in life. To be with you. Joy is an amazing
thing. To just watch it. See if you find joy today, not
necessarily in you, but look for it at others. See how you can
be more joyful. Some of my favorite verses in the Bible Romans twelve twelve,
Rejoice and hope, Be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
I know what you're thinking, Be patient and tribulation in times of need and
sorrow. You want me to be joyful or happy. I want you to
be, but I also just want you to try it. Our phrase in
twenty twenty four on the show is I dare you, what do you have
to lose by being happy or joyful? We've heard the phrase our whole life.
It takes more smiles to make of a frown than it does a smile.
Turn that frown upside down, you'll have a smile. We've heard it,
right, But yet we continue to not let that good news make us
better. We want to wallow and sorrow. We want to wallow and heartache.
We want to be in darkness. Well, one day we will be
in darkness, the day that the trials and tribulation of this earth occur.
With the Book of Revelation, it's not to scare you. I want you
to be joyful in all these times. And God kind of just delivered me
a message right here. So I'm going to flip the script. Can we
say, flip the script? Yeah, if we were in Boston, flip
the script. Show on this episode of Let's Rant with Katie, Let's get
Biblical, that is formally known as Let's Ramp. I want to flip it
a little because what if we are horrible tribulation. We're going through a lot
of things right now in this world. What if there's war? Put yourself
in the people's shoes over in Israel, families being attacked, kids pulled from
their cars, ripped limb from limb. At times, even when they're going
to get fixed up at the hospital, they have hamas out in front of
these hospitals stopping you. If it's not that bad, they send you on
your way. They're controlling everything. So you're like that, you want me
to be joyful in this Do you know the easiest way to be joyful in
any situation is the fact that you're still breathing. Non Believers call it a
cop out. I call it a gift. Because God gave us the gift
of life. We want to really be able to take every minute of our
life and make it worthwhile. And when you do that, joy produces in
your soul. Do something good for someone today, even as far as opening
a door or a smile, that's it. You don't have to spend any
money to make somebody happy. And that's our problem in this world. In
this generation, we think that money will clear up everything. Nope, Puffy
said it best. More money, more problems. So why would I want
that in my life? I want joy? Right. Philippians four to four
says the same rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say rejoice.
Notice in Romans twelve twelve and Philippians four to four, Rejoice, rejoice.
I get major arguments sometimes with my wife, I go upstairs, I
apologize to the Lord, ask him to do his work in me. What
do I need to do? And sometimes it's just go apologize. Simplest thing
to make somebody happy is apologize. And there's sometimes I don't have to say
I'm sorry, but I do it because I know I want a more peaceful,
joyful environment, not for just myself, my family and my kids,
but I want to make the Lord happy by spreading that joy, sucking it
up, being humble just for that moment, taking the punch, because God
will give you the complete hug and wrap you in His love because of what
you've just done. Again, Rejoice always, always, even in times of
tribulation, you will definitely find that joy you're desperately seeking for. And guys,
thank you for listening to another episode of Let's Get Biblical with Katie.
We love you. God loves you. And remember, if you're not a
believer, go google the Prayer of Salvation and see what happens in your life.
Read it out loud. Be joyful when you read the prayer of salvation
and watch the God that we love so much change you from the inside.
Thank you for listening. We'll see you on the flip side. Let's get
