Speaker 1: Fifty five KRS The Talk Station eighth six, fifty five
Speaker 1: Karseni Talk Station. Brian Thomas wishing a very happy Monday
Speaker 1: and welcome you to the fifty five KRS Mornings. Just
Speaker 1: be a fascinating and uplifting discussion. David Scarlett. He's a
Speaker 1: former US marine and telecommunications executive. Pastor Scarlett has written
Speaker 1: this book and rather than go over his background, which
Speaker 1: the book is about his background in his life, he's
Speaker 1: written a book we're gonna be talking about this morning,
Speaker 1: All for His Glory, The Near Death Experience of a
Speaker 1: Modern day job. David Scarlett, Pastor Scarlett, Welcome to the
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCY Morning Show. It's a pleasure to have
Speaker 1: you on this morning.
Speaker 2: Well, Brian, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 1: And part of your story is the founding of His
Speaker 1: Glory Ministries, which is a Christian answer reach group. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment, but let's talk about
Speaker 1: the title All for His Glory, a The Near Death
Speaker 1: Experience of a modern day job, perhaps incorrectly titled Didn't
Speaker 1: You Actually Die?
Speaker 2: I did. I technically died three times. I had two
Speaker 2: near death experiences. So it's taken up to the throne
Speaker 2: room of heaven, saw all the glory, and the Lord said,
Speaker 2: you know you're going to go back and start a
Speaker 2: ministry called by my name. His glory comes from the
Speaker 2: Hebrew word cavode, and that literally means his essence, and
Speaker 2: that's exactly what we did.
Speaker 1: Well, the thumbnail sketchy, this outline already sending chills down
Speaker 1: my spine. The idea that you actually died through there
Speaker 1: three times. Tell my listeners the circumstances around that before
Speaker 1: we move forward, and how that impacted profoundly the rest
Speaker 1: of your life.
Speaker 2: Well, it was seven seven seventh, the seventh day of
Speaker 2: the seventh month of oh seven. So God always has
Speaker 2: a plan and detail. All his dates me many things
Speaker 2: in our lives. So I ate botulism talks and through
Speaker 2: a can a chili. I came back from traveling overseas
Speaker 2: and the Cleveland clinic didn't know what it was. I
Speaker 2: was put into intensive care on Friday, the thirteenth of
Speaker 2: oout seven, and I died that first night. I didn't
Speaker 2: have a near death experience that first night, but I
Speaker 2: did die clinically for a couple of minutes. They brought
Speaker 2: me back and then they try to wean me off
Speaker 2: the machine, off the breathing machine. Because watulism completely destroys
Speaker 2: your central nervous system. Everything shuts down. You can't breathe
Speaker 2: on your own. You can't speak, you can't talk, you
Speaker 2: can't eat. So that happened, and I remember them getting
Speaker 2: me stable to Cleveland Clint doctors try to pull the
Speaker 2: tube to get me to breathe on my own, and
Speaker 2: the panic on their face was just something you'll never forget.
Speaker 2: You knew at that moment that you're gone. Your life
Speaker 2: here on earth was over. I didn't feel any pain,
Speaker 2: even though it wasn't not being able to breathe. You
Speaker 2: think of the anxiety and pain there. It was completely
Speaker 2: the opposite. Was joy, peace, love, peace of God, peace
Speaker 2: of God, and just it wasn't just that. Then he
Speaker 2: took me up to the Third Heaven and I got
Speaker 2: to see heaven. I saw the beauty. I saw everything
Speaker 2: that smelled better, taste better, look better outside of this world,
Speaker 2: and it was just joy, love, peace and just perfect perfection.
Speaker 2: And then he showed me these pictures of my life
Speaker 2: from infant to the time I was at the time
Speaker 2: thirty nine, and the beautiful Mahogany pictures, and these were
Speaker 2: pictures never taken on earth, they were only taken by him.
Speaker 2: Inside those pictures were perfection. All sin was wiped away
Speaker 2: for good. But he later told me six months later
Speaker 2: that there was something missing in those pictures, and that
Speaker 2: was my report card. I didn't do anything for him.
Speaker 2: I got to Heaven barely, so my report card was empty.
Speaker 2: So he brought me back into the Cleveland Clinic ICU,
Speaker 2: and as soon as I came back, I said, wow,
Speaker 2: I just experienced have it. And he starts talking to
Speaker 2: me and I said, I want to see Jesus, and
Speaker 2: I couldn't even get the prayer out of my mind.
Speaker 2: And there at the end of that my bed was
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, just glowing with this radiant white as in
Speaker 2: the Book of Revelation. Didn't say a word, he didn't
Speaker 2: need to. It's just complete joy and peace and love
Speaker 2: of like I experienced up in that third Heaven. And
Speaker 2: then then I had all kinds of problems. I had them.
Speaker 2: I came back and they got pneumonia, collapsed, long seven
Speaker 2: different of surgeries on my stomach for internal bleeding. One
Speaker 2: step forward, two steps back, and then they at the
Speaker 2: second time I had a near death experience. They had
Speaker 2: all the Cleveland Clinic doctors ready to pull the plug
Speaker 2: because they thought they got me stable, and as soon
Speaker 2: as they pulled it, they went horribly wrong again, and
Speaker 2: I was lifted above the ICU room and I could
Speaker 2: see the panic on all the doctor's faces. They said,
Speaker 2: come back, come back, you can beat this. And I
Speaker 2: just felt this love, joy, peace from the Lord and
Speaker 2: I said, why are they panicking? I feel perfectly fine,
Speaker 2: and he said, I'm going to bring you back. You're
Speaker 2: going to start ministry called by my name, his glory.
Speaker 2: So I came back and then I had to be
Speaker 2: weaned off the machine, learn how to talk again, walk again.
Speaker 2: The after effects of bosses and toxin are worse than
Speaker 2: even believe it or not when you're on an incubator,
Speaker 2: so you have chronic fatigue and chronic pain. But God
Speaker 2: used that a perfect way, because I was a type
Speaker 2: A personality. If he wouldn't have put me in those situations,
Speaker 2: I would have been back to the corporate world, back
Speaker 2: in doing what I was doing before. But he used
Speaker 2: those times for me to slow down and it had
Speaker 2: to focus only on him. And that's where I learned
Speaker 2: the Bible, and that's where we got the Ministry His
Speaker 2: Glory up and running, and now we reach twenty five
Speaker 2: million people in every country of the world.
Speaker 1: That is truly amazing. There's no question about that. And
Speaker 1: no one can deny your personal experience on that you
Speaker 1: actually felt this and lived it. Can I have an
Speaker 1: important thing first off, I have to observe when you're
Speaker 1: talking about your empty report card. I'm reminded of the
Speaker 1: line I think it was from Papion where the main
Speaker 1: character is in front of a he's dreaming and you're
Speaker 1: guilty of a wasted life. And you know this was
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, in his sort of sort of
Speaker 1: afterlife type of experience he was experiencing. In the movie,
Speaker 1: you are guilty of a wasted life didn't really have
Speaker 1: as much a response because it was true in that
Speaker 1: particular case, he was a criminal. But you see your
Speaker 1: empty report card. Where were you in your life? I
Speaker 1: want to think, relative to your faith in God and
Speaker 1: belief in Christ, where were you before this near death experienced.
Speaker 1: Were you a very religious man? Did you have just
Speaker 1: some religion. I mean, I know your business world is
Speaker 1: a completely separate thing. But in terms of your faith,
Speaker 1: where were you?
Speaker 2: No? I was. I was a nine to one one Christian.
Speaker 2: I would pray when I was in trouble, and that
Speaker 2: was it. They go back to it. But I had
Speaker 2: the first part of my trials and tribulations was a
Speaker 2: severe marital situation and I decided to stay in that
Speaker 2: marriage against all odds, and I couldn't do it, so
Speaker 2: I had to get on my knees and that's where
Speaker 2: I first started to get to know the Lord before
Speaker 2: that near death experience happened. I am convinced this day
Speaker 2: that if it weren't for my first trial and sir
Speaker 2: reulation with my wife, I never would have saw heaven.
Speaker 2: I was. I thought I was saved, but I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Just because you go to church doesn't make you a Christian,
Speaker 2: court make you say, of course. And it took that
Speaker 2: first trial and again I got there, but I didn't
Speaker 2: have a report card, so I don't think I would
Speaker 2: have got there without that first trial and sirpulation.
Speaker 1: Well that's interesting because I would mark you down as
Speaker 1: a positive grade for your efforts to save your marriage
Speaker 1: and you're you know, perhaps turning to faith through religion
Speaker 1: in order to do that obviously had a profound impact
Speaker 1: on your near death experience or your death experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was what got me to have and I
Speaker 2: started seeking his face because I knew I couldn't do
Speaker 2: it myself. I was very successful in the corporate world.
Speaker 2: I was number one director at AT and T. Wow, everything
Speaker 2: came easy. I had all the money, I had all
Speaker 2: the fame, I had all the fortune. I had the
Speaker 2: biggest head in the world. And the Lord has a
Speaker 2: way of popping that and getting us humble because he
Speaker 2: can't use a servants that are not home. That's why
Speaker 2: Satan fell from heaven is vanity, and we have to
Speaker 2: be humbled to be able to be used by God.
Speaker 2: And oh boy, did he humble me. And then once
Speaker 2: he can get you humbled, he can use you for
Speaker 2: his purpose in his glory. Literally.
Speaker 1: So with this new inspiration and injection of faith, how
Speaker 1: was it, How did you go about founding His glory ministries?
Speaker 1: And what is the purpose of His Glori's ministries? For
Speaker 1: those folks out there who are already familiar with the day know,
Speaker 1: but for my listening audience and hey, I've never heard
Speaker 1: of this before. Sounds amazing. What is it, how did
Speaker 1: you do it, and what is it intended for.
Speaker 2: Well, it's intended to hit the seven mountains of society,
Speaker 2: to be to take the seven mountains that are filled
Speaker 2: with the secular evil of the world that we see today,
Speaker 2: and it's being exposed to be an influence through Jesus
Speaker 2: Christ in all seven mountains. So that's why we're in
Speaker 2: every nation, every country of the world to bring the
Speaker 2: Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way to the world
Speaker 2: through a biblical lens. So our programming we might have
Speaker 2: an American doctor on, we might have an American general.
Speaker 2: We tackle all societies issues well through a biblical lens
Speaker 2: so that you can see where God through Jesus Christ
Speaker 2: impacts us in every one of those mountains. And that's
Speaker 2: what the Lord told us to do. We're a very
Speaker 2: different ministry. We don't have a building that we go
Speaker 2: to on Sundays. We are a peer internet and that
Speaker 2: was his idea. That's where he came up with dot
Speaker 2: em and dot TV for his glory. So we do
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven broadcasting on dot ME and then
Speaker 2: we do movies in Praise Music dot TV. The War
Speaker 2: on Truth with Nick Cercy's one of our movies that
Speaker 2: we just came out with, The Child the Truth about
Speaker 2: January sixth, Mickey willis Holyland was our trip to Israel
Speaker 2: to get a biblical view of Israel before October seventh happen.
Speaker 2: It was almost like it was prophetic when we made
Speaker 2: that movie. So we are doing anything and everything in
Speaker 2: the Seven Mountains to reach the people from Jesus Christ
Speaker 2: for such a time as this.
Speaker 1: How do you compete? You mentioned the secular world we
Speaker 1: live in, and Lord knows we do. How do you
Speaker 1: compete with that? I mean everywhere I turn I read
Speaker 1: about fewer and fewer people are turning to religion, Fewer
Speaker 1: and fewer people are going to church. I would think
Speaker 1: that to connect someone would have to all with all
Speaker 1: his all for his glory. Your book, maybe somebody already
Speaker 1: has to have a foundation in Christianity in order to
Speaker 1: make that next step going from a nine to one
Speaker 1: to one Christian as you said you were, or a
Speaker 1: C and E Christian, to someone who's truly devoted and
Speaker 1: connected with the faith. How do you reach the people
Speaker 1: who have had no connection with Christ, the Gospel, the Bible,
Speaker 1: or any religion at all for that matter. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got a heavy, heavy weight to just get your
Speaker 1: foot in the door in this modern world.
Speaker 2: Well, God is helping us along that way. You know.
Speaker 2: We look at the last few years of COVID nineteen
Speaker 2: as horrible, and yes there's horrible aspects of that. But
Speaker 2: I travel the country and everywhere I go and I
Speaker 2: see people that follow His glory. Their lives have changed.
Speaker 2: They're realizing what their purpose is. Their purpose wasn't just
Speaker 2: to work their entire life and retire and die. Their
Speaker 2: purpose is driven by God himself through Jesus Christ. So
Speaker 2: this last three years, four years has been awakening to
Speaker 2: these people to say, hey, what am I here for?
Speaker 2: And they're getting they're getting unified. We have warrior groups
Speaker 2: where like minded Christ's people all over. We're in every
Speaker 2: all fifty states, and they get together and share their
Speaker 2: stories and pray over each other and build the body
Speaker 2: of Christ for such a time as this. So yeah,
Speaker 2: by going into the Seven Mountains, we're reaching the secular world.
Speaker 2: We travel the United States the last three years with
Speaker 2: General Flynn and the Reawakened Tour We've baptized for seventy
Speaker 2: five hundred people at these events, and people come in
Speaker 2: because they're patriots, but they learn what the most important
Speaker 2: thing is to be a patriot. We were founded under
Speaker 2: Judeo Christian values by our forefathers. Most of them other
Speaker 2: than one one of them were Christians, and they're giving
Speaker 2: their life to Christ and Christians are becoming patriots and
Speaker 2: patriot shore becoming Christians.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing story. All for his gorgon near death
Speaker 1: experience of a mod of day job by my guest today,
Speaker 1: David Scarlett. Pastor Scarlett, you're the only person I've talked
Speaker 1: to who had one of these near death experiences. My
Speaker 1: father had a dear friend, I was a doctor in
Speaker 1: the community.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He died on the operating table and he had a
Speaker 1: very similar experience. He was watching the doctor's work on him.
Speaker 1: He heard what they said, but he felt absolute calm,
Speaker 1: that peace of God that you described. He saw people
Speaker 1: who had passed before him, his mother and others who
Speaker 1: told him, no, doctor, you need to go back. You've
Speaker 1: got more work to do. And from that point forward,
Speaker 1: and I think this is the important thing I'm trying
Speaker 1: to reach in terms of the point. He never apparently,
Speaker 1: I never talked to him again. This is repeated a
Speaker 1: story for my father never worried about anything again. He
Speaker 1: knew that everything was going to be fine, that he
Speaker 1: saw what was coming after, and it relieved him all
Speaker 1: all the burdens and anxieties that we face on this earth.
Speaker 1: And people who embrace faith to that degree already feel
Speaker 1: that way without a near death experience. And it sounds
Speaker 1: to me like this book is intended to get others
Speaker 1: to that.
Speaker 2: Point exactly, because life is just a bluff, hear, once
Speaker 2: you have that peace and joy of heaven and know
Speaker 2: it's real, and know the Father is real, know the
Speaker 2: Son's real, know the Holy Spirit's real, and that they
Speaker 2: are they have your well being. What's the worst they
Speaker 2: can do? Kill you? You know. That's the third part
Speaker 2: of my book. I had seven tempts on my life
Speaker 2: because of the truth that we bring out at His glory,
Speaker 2: and I don't worry. I still don't worry about it
Speaker 2: because when God takes me out, my report card will
Speaker 2: be filled and I'll be home with Him in Eternity.
Speaker 2: Eternity is beautiful.
