Speaker 3: and she gathered up all of her friends came together
Speaker 3: and gathered up five hundred dollars to bless the ministry
Speaker 3: to use in whatever way we need.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you God, as long as well.
Speaker 3: The scripture says Jesus said, if I be lifted up,
Speaker 3: I'll draw all men unto myself. And that's what we
Speaker 3: purpose to do. Anything that we do, we purpose to
Speaker 3: lift up the name of Jesus. And people keep coming.
Speaker 3: You know, the food, the food's good, that Jesus Burger
Speaker 3: of the burgers are okay. You know, the preachings mediocre
Speaker 3: at best, but you know, wonderful.
Speaker 2: But the presence of God is amazing, amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3: So and I know I left some people out, and
Speaker 3: please forgive me, but thank you Bartlesville for the heart
Speaker 3: that you have for helping out get Real Ministries in
Speaker 3: Really you're reaching way beyond get Real Ministries to the
Speaker 3: to the hearts of the people of this community. Uh,
Speaker 3: there's people that don't have shelter. There's people that I
Speaker 3: was visiting with a man one time and he told
Speaker 3: me he said, you know your destitute when you don't
Speaker 3: have a key to fit any lock. And that was
Speaker 3: that was profound, that was like, oh my goodness. He said,
Speaker 3: you know your destitute when you don't have a key
Speaker 3: to fit any lock. And we have some friends like
Speaker 3: that here in Bartlesville. But we also have some friends
Speaker 3: here in Bartlesville. They have a home, but they're trying
Speaker 3: to stretch their dollar as far as they can. They
Speaker 3: may not have power this month, where they may not
Speaker 3: have water this month, they may not have you know,
Speaker 3: the things that.
Speaker 2: We take for granted, you know.
Speaker 3: So what get Real Ministries does is we try to
Speaker 3: reach out and we try to reach to those people
Speaker 3: and try to be a blessing to him the best
Speaker 3: we can. The clothing ministry at get Real is off
Speaker 3: the charts, off the charts, I'm telling you. I call
Speaker 3: it Little Dillards. Marty and her carew run Little Dillards.
Speaker 3: You walk into this old metal building and everything is
Speaker 3: sorted and sized in colors and you know, hung up
Speaker 3: on hangers, and I mean, it's amazing, amazing. And then
Speaker 3: Pastor Rod Baker and Jeeks Oklahoma with Bridging Hunger. He
Speaker 3: supplies our bags that we hand out or get your
Speaker 3: buy bags and family bags. And it's the community. It's
Speaker 3: coming together. It's the body of Christ coming together. And
Speaker 3: it is amazing what God is doing. Souls continue to
Speaker 3: be saved. We've got Jesus Burger coming up this weekend,
Speaker 3: this Saturday at noon. It'll be at four eleven West
Speaker 3: fourteenth Street. It's going to be cold, so we're going
Speaker 3: to be inside the building. We'll be inside the building,
Speaker 3: so come join Jesus Burger January Jesus Burger, January twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. It's going to be amazing and we will
Speaker 3: be in the building.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know it didn't stop there at the drive there?
Speaker 1: You guys did the jail team? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes we did, Yes, we did.
Speaker 3: Terry Miller Larry Miller began this twenty some years ago
Speaker 3: when Larry went on to be at the Lord and
Speaker 3: Terry Miller had carried on the tradition for a while
Speaker 3: and then a few years ago he asked would we
Speaker 3: be interested in picking up the mantle and I said absolutely,
Speaker 3: we'd be honored to. And Terry still goes to the
Speaker 3: Ministry to.
Speaker 2: The jail with us.
Speaker 3: But we brought in eighty some pizzas and one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty bottles of sodas, and I don't know how
Speaker 3: many sweets and treats to hand out. But what is
Speaker 3: amazing is they allow us to bring our guitar in
Speaker 3: and we start playing. We sing worship songs as we
Speaker 3: were going down, going from pod to pod, and these guys,
Speaker 3: you know, they can they can, they can hear it,
Speaker 3: just barely. The man I'm telling you, they come to
Speaker 3: the window, they come to the glass, they place their
Speaker 3: hands on the window. They're just wanting somebody to reach
Speaker 3: out to them and pray with them and pray over them.
Speaker 3: And it was amazing. We took a young man in
Speaker 3: with us and we have a lady that her son
Speaker 3: was locked up and she was visiting with him and
Speaker 3: she was crying and and he was crying. And this
Speaker 3: young man that was with us first time he was,
Speaker 3: he said, is that his mama shallow? Suggest it is?
Speaker 3: And he couldn't believe it. Once again, he said, that's mom,
Speaker 3: and son, she say, yes it is. And it totally
Speaker 3: completely changed his world. Totally completely changed his world. But
Speaker 3: so many good things, so many positive things happened when
Speaker 3: we visit Washington County Jail The staff there is off
Speaker 3: the charts.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: They were so accommodating. They did the best that they
Speaker 3: could under all the circumstances. We had people asking for prayer,
Speaker 3: we had people getting saved there at the jail. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you, the presence of God, the worship there, it
Speaker 3: just filled the entire place, just like Paul and Silas
Speaker 3: at midnight. They began to worship, began to sing, and
Speaker 3: the bonds broke loose off of them. And I can
Speaker 3: tell you I saw the bonds break loose off of
Speaker 3: men and women in Washington County Jail this year, this
Speaker 3: Christmas dinner. So it was amazing, amazing. Can't wait till
Speaker 3: next Christmas.
Speaker 1: You know, the staff there is behind the positives.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's not mean spirited to say we really don't
Speaker 1: want to see you here again, unless you're a visitor exactly.
Speaker 1: And they mean that with love too. They hope that
Speaker 1: you get it right and that you succeed and you flourish.
Speaker 1: We've got people here with succe with success stories. One
Speaker 1: guy that I remember very vividly when we used to
Speaker 1: do the little thing at the crossing second, he had
Speaker 1: just gotten out of jail. You introduced me to him
Speaker 1: and said, you know, this guy seems like he probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't harm U. Flee seems very well in intention, very positive.
Speaker 1: Looks like he may probably took a wrong turn, but
Speaker 1: looks like he's straight. He's got a business.
Speaker 2: Now, flourishing business. Absolutely, And this is.
Speaker 1: Just after a couple of years. And one thing. I
Speaker 1: like it, but I wish I had his energy because
Speaker 1: he can't sit still. That man is on them. When
Speaker 1: I grow up, I want to be there exactly.
Speaker 3: So you have to slow down. You're gonna wear that
Speaker 3: old body out. My dad used to tell me, boy,
Speaker 3: that oldhead of yours. We're out two or three bodies already.
Speaker 3: They're slow down. But no, what a blessing.
Speaker 2: I mean we see that time and time and time
Speaker 2: and time again.
Speaker 3: So there's things that need to be done around the church,
Speaker 3: around the ministry, different things, and we're looking around looking for.
Speaker 2: Volunteers, looking for help.
Speaker 3: Well, the good thing is the majority of our men
Speaker 3: that come to get real ministries and now we're employed.
Speaker 3: You know, they came out of county jail, they came
Speaker 3: out of drug world, they came out of different things.
Speaker 3: They're employed to have their own homes, that have jobs.
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, it's God, It's every bit God.
Speaker 1: I want to remind people we're not just talking about
Speaker 1: one no person. We're talking about a whole lot of people. Yes,
Speaker 1: that have really turned the page here just because they
Speaker 1: opened themselves up.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3: Now we do this, we do this crazy thing when
Speaker 3: we take up offering it get Roal Ministries. First thing
Speaker 3: we do is we take these red coffee cans, and
Speaker 3: these red coffee cans have money in them, have change
Speaker 3: in the bottom, have dollar bills. And what we do
Speaker 3: is the Bible says God will give seed to the sower.
Speaker 3: And I explained that means, if you have a heart
Speaker 3: to give to the Kingdom of Heaven and you don't
Speaker 3: have anything, get Real is going to give you an
Speaker 3: offering so that you can have something to sow into
Speaker 3: the kingdom. So they pass the buckets and people take change.
Speaker 3: You know, I tell them, if you if you need
Speaker 3: change in your life, reaching the bottom of that bucket
Speaker 3: and get a handful of change. And when the offering
Speaker 3: comes around, knock the bottom out of that bucket. So
Speaker 3: these folks they'll take money out of these red cans
Speaker 3: and then when the offering buckets goes bay, you can
Speaker 3: hear bam bam, absolutely, and I will ask them periodically.
Speaker 3: I will say, how many of you started out in
Speaker 3: these red buckets and now you're being blessed with jobs
Speaker 3: and homes and hands all.
Speaker 2: Over the church all over.
Speaker 3: Give God something to work with, you know, anything, give
Speaker 3: him something to work with. And when you surrender your
Speaker 3: life to him, totally surrender your life to him, things
Speaker 3: begin to change.
Speaker 1: You know, you have a wonderful team there with you.
Speaker 1: Kevin Knowles has been helping out on the worst, yes,
Speaker 1: and also with the music too, and you know that
Speaker 1: that has made a big change in that man's family.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you the Knowles family is. They are unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Kevin preaches every Saturday night. Every Saturday night at six pm.
Speaker 3: Kevin is there, he and his son armand they typically
Speaker 3: do worship. I stumble in once in a while and
Speaker 3: kind of mess things up, but I apologize, but we
Speaker 3: go on anyway.
Speaker 1: Forgive it.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, but what a blessing the Knowles family is.
Speaker 3: And the volunteers that we have at get Real ministries,
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm telling you servants' hearts from start
Speaker 3: to finish. You I can just make a suggestion of
Speaker 3: needing to accomplish something.
Speaker 2: They're like, We're on it, we got it. What do
Speaker 2: you need.
Speaker 1: Pastor yes, yes, really something.
Speaker 3: So we have an event, if we may, I'll try
Speaker 3: to keep it brief. We have an event coming up
Speaker 3: June seventh, and it's not a Get Real event. It's
Speaker 3: called March for Jesus. March for Jesus was in Bartlesville
Speaker 3: in the nineties. I think they had three events March
Speaker 3: for Jesus. This is a world wide event, though, and
Speaker 3: a young lady by the name of Maria Hawk is
Speaker 3: heading this whole thing up.
Speaker 2: What an amazing, amazing organizer she is.
Speaker 3: I mean she's got everything that's bam bam, bam bam.
Speaker 3: But it'll be June the seventh, and what it is,
Speaker 3: it's going to be a literal march down Frank Phillips
Speaker 3: will meet at the Phillips parking lot and will march
Speaker 3: down and end up at Unity Square. But what it's
Speaker 3: going to be, it's going to be the whole thing
Speaker 3: is about Jesus. You won't see a single Get Real
Speaker 3: Ministry's T shirt. You won't see a first Baptist or
Speaker 3: a Presbyterian, or you won't see any kind of advertisement
Speaker 3: for anyone other than the shirts that you'll wear, says
Speaker 3: march for Jesus, because once again, if he be lifted up,
Speaker 3: he'll draw all men into himself. And it's Pentecost week,
Speaker 3: So what the deal is worldwide? This is a worldwide event,
Speaker 3: but it's taking place here in Bortlesville June seventh. And
Speaker 3: if you want to be a part of I believes
Speaker 3: got a link on our get Real page that you
Speaker 3: can go to, and we want as many people.
Speaker 2: That can and that will march.
Speaker 3: We'll have vans set up with sound systems in the vans,
Speaker 3: and the people will be singing the same song all
Speaker 3: together as we march down the streets, just glorifying the
Speaker 3: name of Jesus. And that's and I say this, and
Speaker 3: I say this lovingly. One of the most difficult things
Speaker 3: to do in this amazing, amazing, beautiful community is bring
Speaker 3: all the churches together under one roof for one event.
Speaker 3: This should be easy this time because we're not lifting
Speaker 3: up anyone's name other than the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2: We're not lifting up.
Speaker 3: Get Real, Nazarene, We're not lifting up anybody except for
Speaker 3: the name of Jesus. So my prayer, and I keep
Speaker 3: telling our church church, please pray for unity for the
Speaker 3: churches of Bartlesfield, that they will come together June seventh
Speaker 3: and truly be the body of Christ. Truly be one
Speaker 3: lifting up the name of Jesus. And that is my
Speaker 3: prayer that we all come together. Just think what could
Speaker 3: possibly happen when the whole world is coming together and
Speaker 3: singing the songs of praises unto Jesus all at once.
Speaker 3: I believe head on earth, heaven and earth is going
Speaker 3: to shake, and there's gonna be a visitation.
Speaker 1: Now if we want to find out more, to show
Speaker 1: up at Jesus Burger. I'm sure you'll be talking about
Speaker 1: absolutely And now again. When is Jesus Burger.
Speaker 3: This Saturday, twelve o'clock noon, four eleven West fourteenth Street,
