Mario Murillo: Great Boldness Comes from God’s Great Hope (2 Corinthians 3:12)
Mario speaks in Sacramento, CA, on 8/10/2021. 2 Corinthians 3:12 says, “Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech.” Quotes: “I don't want to say anything that doesn't carry power. You need to see your audience as an emotional and intellectual hand puppet under the control of an outside force. Miracles, signs, and wonders take the hand out of the puppet, takes the control off the mind, and suddenly tears begin to flow.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

"My speech and my preaching," he says in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, "were not with persuasive words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and power that your faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."

I'm going to go after you. I think you're miserable. I think your life is broken. I think that you suffer every day from a loneliness that is eating up at you even when you're around people. I believe that everything that wokeness touches loses its color, its vitality, and its innocence. You learn to feel like a victim. You learn to be offended by everything around you. You learn to be suspicious of everyone and everything until finally you're eaten up inside.

Do you think that I feel like an intellectual victim? Listen, I would love to have a date with your professor any day. Those bullies need to pick on somebody their own size. Let me at them. Let them bring up whatever garbage they want. Let them do their intellectual double-talk. But the fact of the matter is in all the California awareness, it bred anger, it bred perversion, it's created misery, agony. The defensiveness, the need to hoard and hold onto yourself. The need to find somebody.

Two things that wokeness finds and looks for, 1) what to fear and 2) who to blame. Paul said, it drained the life out of me. So I picked the one message. I can address a lot of different subjects. I've studied history. I have preached in universities. I have lectured and taught in upper division university classes. All of those $40 words, I know and now, having known them, the thrill is gone and I can use plain language. 2 Corinthians 3:12 in the King James Version says, “Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech.”

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:2 “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” It's the only thing that identifies you. It's why you're not an evolutionary accident that crawled out of the primordial soup. It's why you are a woman or a man and everything else is just theoretical. You can tell me about how unique and special your pain is, how justified your experimentation against decency is. But I don't need to tell you you're going to hell. That's one thing I've learned in California. You don't really need to spend a lot of time telling people who are already in hell that they're going to hell.

Because it's hellish in our neighborhoods. It's hellish in our schools. It's hellish on the job. And so you'll run up the Tahoe and ski, but the misery follows you down the slope. You wake up and you chant all sorts of things. But at the end of the day, you look in the mirror and you're a lost soul, separated. You don't know why you were born, you don't know why you're here, you don't know what's going on. 

So Paul got alone with Jesus. "Are you serious about me building a church in Corinth? Of taking the raw material of people who have not one glimpse of Christian DNA and turning them into something special? Making people with hearts of gold, minds that are clear, bodies that are healthy, a sense of peace and purpose. You want me to do that, Jesus? You want me to do it in Corinth? To take the raw of the raw and transform them?" And when he heard, yes, that's when he started praying like this.

I don't want to say anything that doesn't carry power. You need to see your audience as an emotional and intellectual hand puppet under the control of an outside force. Miracles, signs, and wonders take the hand out of the puppet, takes the control off the mind, and suddenly tears begin to flow. We watched it last night, I looked over to my left. There was a young woman over here and the spirit of God revealed to me her story. And it was terrible. She had been abused from childhood on. I could tell. She stood there and I knew what she was doing for the first time. It is the moral equivalent of somebody who is paralyzed that suddenly feels pain in their toes and is rejoicing because it is a sign that movement is going to come back.
