Mario Murillo: Changing Gangsters and Banksters - God's MetaMorphic Power (Romans 12:2)
Mario speaks at the Living Proof Tent Crusade in Bakersfield, CA, on 3/13/2023. Quotes: “Pastor, you need to win a soul; you need a former gangster in your church. Man, they'll find ways to talk to your hypocrites that are better than anybody else. They will keep it real. Why should the real church have a bank president sitting next to a homeless person? Why should that be? Because they both need each other. One needs clothes and the other can't fit anything else in his closet. David Wilkerson needed Nicky Cruz every bit as much as Nicky Cruz needed David Wilkerson. Nicky saved David from a powerless ministry.”

We need to get back in the Bible
and understand that "Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God." [Matthew 4:4] Am I preaching yet?
He said that they're tired of these carnal visions.
They're sick of watching the world's system invade the church.
They remember when it was about the word of God,
about the presence of God, and about the miracles of God.
There's a deep hunger. You know, Pastor, you need to win a soul.
You need a former gangster in your church.
Man, they'll find ways to talk
to your hypocrites that are better than anybody else.
They will keep it real. Why do we need the lost souls to be saved?
Why do we need a passion for the poor,
and the broken, and the forgotten?
Why should the real church have a bank president sitting
next to a homeless person? Why should that be?
Because they both need each other. One needs clothes
and the other can't put anything else in his closet.
You see, David Wilkerson needed Nicky Cruz
every bit as much as Nicky Cruz needed David Wilkerson.
Nicky saved David from a powerless ministry.
He would've been another name in some back part
of the list of preachers in the Assemblies of God.
But because of Nicky Cruz and the effect that a sinner had
on his life, David Wilkerson's name lives on.
(1 Samuel 30:13) King David, look at the Egyptian.
Am I preaching yet or am I going hoarse for no reason?
Are you getting this? David looked at the Amalekite slave,
the Egyptian slave who worked for the Amalekite, [1 Samuel 30:11]
and he asked him the question of the century,
the question of the century,
"Can you take me down to these Amalekites?"
The Egyptian said, "Yes, I know where they're camped."
The last person in the world that David ever thought
could help him, a slave said, "I know where your wife is.
I know where your kids are.
I know where they're hiding your money.
If you give md something to eat, I can take you there."
Oh, I feel good right now.
Oh, I feel the power of God right now.
I think some of you're going to turn into soul winners.
So for three days David bandaged the Egyptian's wounds.
He fed him and he let him be restored.
One of the number one movies
in America (Jesus Revolution) is about a pastor
in Costa Mesa named, Chuck Smith.
His board looked at the hippies and said,
"They've got long hair and they got beards."
I remember when he came over to Melody Land,
Chuck Smith - to talk to David Wilkerson.
Because David Wilkerson was preaching against long hair.
Chuck said, "I was delivered of that legalism, maybe I can help you."
So, he comes over and David Wilkerson was so anointed
that lost souls would run to the altar under incredible conviction.
And he loved the lost.
Believe me, he loved the lost like no man I've ever known.
So here is Chuck Smith confronting David Wilkerson
and telling him, "Look at what God is doing, David.
You're being used in spite of yourself.
So, you need to get over this." When he went and prayed.
I'll never forget it because I was there.
I was there the night that David got up
and addressed the issue of long hair.
He said, "I've always believed it made the men look like a girl."
He said, "I've always believed what the Bible said
that 'The man have long hair,
that it's a shame for him.'" [1 Corinthians 11:14]
But I stopped and would never read the next verse.
He said, "Nevertheless, the church had no such tradition."
And then he said, "I made a mistake being against beards
and hair when I looked at a picture of the founders
of the Assemblies of God."
Hallelujah! Somebody give me a hallelujah right here.
Somebody give a hallelujah right here.
So now, we come to the part where the slave led David
to the encampment of the Amalekites.
The mighty army of David, a long shot beyond words,
a general who led an army into the middle of nowhere,
hoping he'd get direction.
How many of you preachers are just like that?
