This is the Truth Network welcome to man talk to you by T8 W CM is talking and walking Christian men's ministry where they are devoted to breaking down the walls of race and accommodation challenging men to take their God assigned as our host will Hardy and Roy Jones Junior, a black guy and a white guy okay welcome to man talk. Will Hardy and Roy. We are continuing our conversation from last week with Nikita Karloff, Nikita Karloff is all you wrestling fans may know, listen to the first podcasting in reference to Nikita. I love someone out there.

Nikita probably want to know are you truly Russian.

Well, I rushed to the refrigerator. I am rushing a lot, but I'm just not Russian but I am rushing part of the story man for the character part of the story that I created back in the 80s and early 90s with uncle Ivonne and looking at my pop up one day just all the listeners out there are no surface.

I think that's little point with Tyler evaporated Moslems through the king's autograph signing our visage and second that long ago.

So my command was read get on the Internet or something that I hear this Russian room like Lord and it got ignored.

She would always not going anywhere is your little girl with her and and I look at her. She is speaking fluent Russian. I look at no ma'am, I'm not really from Russia. She went from a global to a snarl step you are not really from Russia go Manchester character man that I trolled the hours you you so mad she never did get autograph back your little girl born she was mad character Moscow solicitous moving things to last week and promised listeners that we can talk about discipleship so this talk about the journey and then let's move into little bit more about what pedagogy is now in your man camp and some lease that one day workshops as well now yeah I mean and I have a testimony of workers, especially celebrities. But really anybody I mean, you know, I would like to first give his life to the Lord. Back in 2060 civil what you what's next. I said discipleship. That's what you know can be churches are going to want you to come and speak through testimony go not ready for that you need to be grounded in your faith and before you step out into the outing very fortunate for me. I give my life to Jesus, 1993, was about really about a five year window there that I was discipled. I mean the church doors were open on Sunday morning Sunday night Wednesday night revivals. I was there.

I mean look brought spiritual father into my life and advances from South Africa spent nine years with him being mentored and I went and got my hands dirty and built church and Trinidad Bible school Tobago built the church in Angola Africa on just got my hands dirty and learn to serve in and others.

I serve others. Novel idea, serve others, and so the process and then God swung the doors wide open and and 1998 and now approximately 1200 churches later 20 different countries and in lots of ministry opportunities of all varieties that have had the privilege of being a part of thankful for that foundation, which is a challenge in today's world. You know the difference between you mentioned cut on the break between converts and disciple this a lot of converts out there. In other words, people who've made a decision to give their life to Jesus you just checked that box of silk and ready till Jesus takes me home no now there's the work really begin your salvation and just reset to recent excuses. Right sided one of my manic comps as We show Rocky Mount or Carolina pastor says that a reality was when my eyes call. He said I can't go I can come today because I gotta cut the grass like really like cut the grass is more important than building your your your spiritual growth cutting the grass just today I am speaking to men's breakfast in China Grove you know it, and this guy says in the gym church go to breakfast yeah great jammies like you to make it softball game priorities right is a priority over you growing in your faith in your spiritual journey part of the challenge of man is getting committed to something when it comes to's spiritual journey right deep sea fishing Bambi five days ago that golf course for today's week as we come to God's justice priorities man and that's the challenge for all of us right on this on the cell phone so some more so priorities I don't know you promote conferences you are blessed to be a part of them. You know over the years and you retreat to different things and I do these camps in the 20 conferences and dictate to get guys commit even if it's a few hours a day for a few days.

You find out I will be asking that you talk to right. I'll like, really, two things out of a lifetime a week out of a lifetime to grow closer to the creator into your Savior when you step back out from a practical prose. It makes absolutely zero cents man moved past Manor crisis management responders when crisis hits the attorneys is okay. Father took care of the things they day. I'm sorry you got a call when you get into the crisis mode would think about that.

Now granted were always difficult trials we would be told to be persecuted.

We know that will take your time with us over dinner time seeking him and banning the word in your heart and mind is going to help them avoid some of these pitfalls in life because God can speak to you through Scripture and also bring Scripture back in your heart and about to get something have a conversation about the respondent about to make a decision about what you going to do because can come back and come back to that word to tell you know what I don't need you to going down this path of yes will and confirming what you think about how you going to serve exactly because see it's all about what it's all about meditation and I'm big on meditation.

I'm not talking about grooms and to set the stage by meditating on the word and if there is no word in you. How can you meditate on anything.

I think we were talking today to when Mickey was talking about how working things in you working the word in you and Dan course I had it when you work that word in you and the Lord can work that word that if you work it out if you to bring someone else come closer to the mirror, Jesus Christ. But if there's no deposit. How can you return just something you said Royce on the first of the meditation minutes of that word.

Do you know that I use. I've come to this understanding. There's this course your vague reference. Make sure Eastern meditate Eastern meditation is in thing out of your mind. Christian meditation is a feeling of your mind, filling it with the word of God is referring exactly so is not so clearly understand Eastern meditation is an empty or mild empty your mind out for your mind. Meditate on the word of God mind, thus filling your heart with the word of God and that to your post you said Roy, you said if you use a word of meditating on the word disciple filling a heart with the word hiding behind you in my heart that I might not sin against you overcome sin. Height is where your heart is cyclically to overcome sin that might not sin against you is so I meet yes avoid avoid troubles but but we take one step further, meditate on the word hiding you renewing your mind in your heart. You can then perhaps of some of the pitfalls, as you reference but also Jesus in this life you will you will have trouble. So the words can help you help carry you through the struggles through the difficulties of life that we all go through and I'm going to go through just in case you haven't yet not systematically talk about the because the whole the whole premise of the person getting the word of God in their heart is you have to you have to study the word if you going to be approved unto God, the course of second Timothy chapter 2 in verse 15 says study to show thyself approved on the God of the solid wood so so if I am going to be a workman for Christ's. I got the study so that he can show God that number one I love him and number two I want to keep his commandments love the Lord thy God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and do what love thy neighbor as thyself. If I if I commit and has the road again if I commit to doing those two things Jesus said, I have fulfilled the law. I fulfill all aspects of the law and everything.

When a person comes to me it is the Holy Spirit that's giving them. But Jesus want them to have at the time that they can't know what they are going to come in and I know the key you just encounter people all the time, everywhere you go around the world where you traveled and spoke and people come up to you and universe opportunities that I'm sure that God have put a burden on your heart to give somebody what you absolutely want 100% and what's interesting is when you test that I think I come back like months, years later, when you gave me this word might not really let one of my kiss kiss Holy Spirit led right is not really just trying to manufacture something I only I am very careful to only say something I really feel prompted the Holy Spirit to say and submit it to them then and then for them to take it. She wanted and if God confirms praise God right been encouraged at times of combativeness and now this is what you said this this lesson that all this country always happened my praise God that encourages me come up another break right now so we be right back with talk radio off the job you CM and would love to have you join their community of men for breakfast every first and third Friday of every month, Bible discussions and fellowship.

After the breakfast in town meeting location is in their voracious poster First Christian Church encouraged 1130 N. Main St. encouraged him a hard start at 7 o'clock from a hard stop at 8 o'clock. First time visitors eat for free. Join your host will party Roy Jones Junior, a black guy in a white guy affordable chiropractic in High Point. As you might tell from their name affordable even for the cash. Patient Dr. Jeff Ricky has been caring for patients in High Point for 34 years, physical therapy, such as ultrasound and spinal decompression for disc conditions such as herniation conference of care for auto accident injury patients with no out-of-pocket expense. Remember, affordable chiropractic on W. Lexington Ave. in High Point Hall 336-885-1987: [2nd publisher introduce them conversation related to wounds and the world turned over Nikita were talking last last show about the man's wounds and it really for each of us a table. It was very personal. So with that I test mixed in with them in your own life, and no consent, no understory there's a man wonder typical with this most 9/10 times with the father many many many times in his scars and I can count scars because the woods been healed, keep the healing balm of Gilead on those wounds. And so the scars are okay with me though because they're just a reminder of what God's brought me through a scared me through and so yeah you will use a cover in terms of time, thought all the minute I minister to you and that's what part of the call. Now my life is is ministering to men and to be to see men keeled of loans because if you think you can navigate this life and and never be wounded or not, we will go your mistake and you will offended by something some subsidies such as knives or whatever. I've been fortunate yet not only God to reveal some of the wounds in my own life my own heart. And for those to be healed, and now take that experience with other men who been wounded in many times as you referenced many times it's it's a daddy wound, his father wound just as I boils down to generational and what I mean by that. She had too many times you hear the story of how the father wasn't only come to find out that their grandfather was the same way. Most likely, probably their great-grandfather associate flows, generational tell somebody draws and puts a stake in the ground since this is where it stop.

I want to be healed. I want to be set free so that my sons and daughters of my future generations are having to experience these same wounds.

So with that in person or what was the role your father in a nutshell. I mean, so he left when I was about three really was not in my life till back in college start on my college football games. We had a relationship, a very superficial you know God after the game and how we how's the weather held a great game Minnesota Vikings played a great game. You know the game today. Dad, you know, this was very superficial and fast forward many many years and got a put on my heart to reach out to him to to break break any down any wall that would potentially might be there. My heart his heart and it just really confess and repent those anyway that I'd been this honored him over the course of my life because he was very gracious. We spent a lot of time together cited that open door of communication conversation over the next several months and phone calls on my part and expressing my love for him, which I had never done in my mid-40s.

She had never done. He's in his early 80s and over the course of time, eventually over the course of months, finally got a reciprocal. I love you son out of it for the very first time. And so the last nine, 10 years of his life. We had a father-son relationship that we didn't have for over 40 years. So the real story of of restoration lots in the restoration business. Any relationship with your dad, your son or anyone else.

If you give him a chance.

Are you swallow your pride.

Maybe you have to make the first step and seek forgiveness in the clipart rest of the fighter pilot story as he then traveled with me some some churches would bring him with me and he share history of how you grab this. He said the old rugged Cross tell without tearing up so they hear his testimony his son to preach and we have the father son and the Holy Spirit represented in all the services that he had the privilege of we had the privilege of doing that, together with footnote to that never sit in a park bench with his bus bench and in Waterloo, Iowa when he was with me, has been inducted into the Hall of Fame up there. Dan Gable Hall of Fame and he came and I wanted to honor him at the banquet. This honored him as a man of God at this Hall of Fame induction which I did this, but bus bench use of the hotel room just kinda hit me as I give my life to Jesus, and you might be struggling out there someone with this love of God the father right Bible says hey. He's the father to the fatherless of a father.

I can't see you know how to love a father I can see my early Christian why I struggle with that and then God gave me a justice picture revelation that in that bus bench with the restoration my dad in the relationship we were building with each other and communication and the friendship God you give me an actual goal of what my relationship with you is Abba father. Daddy. Father, Daniel, you give me an actual visual what that look like so good God Papa God exactly. Now God is my daddy while my daddy's in heaven because my daddy had the honor of sitting on some protocols with your fatherly home and not the man that was on the other call was definitely a godly man really loved his son, you have a lot to be thankful for God has a lot initiated for taking.

That love and only and not honoring and honoring him and we talked about that before I think on mother and father's in the back of the journey because were not smart enough to struggle with that right now is my dad. You don't know what he said and I don't like you to stay with the Bible says like your follower of the holy Bible you follow Jesus's mother father. They were great mom and dad. It's simply not set so you have to be the best friend not but honor you do need honor them.

No matter how bad they've been and who knows by doing that. Perhaps you open the door for restoration, and I think that's the key is restoration taught that as part of being the walk. It's important that we've adopted a mindset that never never leave a man standing alone, is part of our ministry means if a man falls were picking up and restoring commands been attacked without justification with protecting a few more minutes. Nikita would like to learn a little bit more if as if up with that listers out here today says hey I want to get closer wounds.

I need to deal with and you have been on this journey before. How does a person start that was talking about Batman can Lexus started yeah and it's an opportunity for guys to come weekly, take five days can't because Google FIVE days but no one man five days your entire life, you know just how McCarthy stays out walk away from all of life's distractions and just go down to this camp just pressing in and focus on God.

The world of guy guys would give me a working on a vision board for 2020 to 2025 is put on my heart to go to 20 countries over the next five years.
