Mario Murillo: Compel Them to Come In That My House May Be Filled (Luke 14:23)
Mario speaks in Modesto, California, on 4/20/2021. Quotes: “Luke 14:18 says, “Master, they're not coming because of this [excuse].” What! And the more they spoke, the angrier he got because of what they thought was better than his banquet. He said, "This is utter madness that you think - what you gave is an excuse for - is better than what I'm offering - no matter what philosophy is out there!”

Be blessed! You’ve been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2) Pay it forward!

I've met it. I was at the University of California 10 years. I met the eggheads of the eggs. There is no philosophy that should keep you away from the banquet table of Jesus Christ. Nothing. Now look at me. Someone said, "Well, I don't want to serve God. "Christianity's too hard." What have you been smoking? Christianity's too hard? Christianity is what you were designed for! Christianity is the thing that works! 

Christianity is like that moment that you discover, this is what a mind is for, this is what a heart is for, this is what a future is for, this is what love is for. This is what marriage is for. Everything else is hard. I have always met people that believe they were going to be the first of their kind. The first successful drug addict. The first pimp who didn't get busted. The first gang member. And it gets serious. We have 300,000 young people in gangs in Los Angeles. And the experts say that they will die by the age to 20. 

LA's going to have 300,000 kids die before their 21st birthday because of gang, but not you. You're the gangster that's going to make it right. You're the... Look, you're the pimp that's going to do it right. You're the addict that's going to enjoy it. It's not going to... It's going to affect everyone else's liver, but not yours. It's going to ruin everyone else's mind. And then, you turn around and look at a Christian who went to the banquet table, got his body right, his mind right, his future right, his emotion... You're not helping me enough. He got everything right and it fell into place. And the only thing you can see is the persecution. That's why Jesus said, "My yolk is easy and my burden is light." 

He got angry because of what they thought was better. You think Scientology is better? It's a movement founded in a bar in a pub in England when two men bet each other 10 grand that they could invent a religion. If you go see the movie, you'll see how ridiculous it is. I could go through one religion after another. I could literally capsulize it for you, and tell you that atheism is absolutely a stark, bankrupt desert.

Your mind is not trained or created to think that this life is an accident. The Bible tells us that he called his servants together and he looked at them all, and he said these words, "Today, you are no longer my gardener." He said to his gardener, 'You are no longer my chef. I'm sending you out to get the poor to spite them." I want the filet mignon to be in front of the poor man. I want the homeless to be the one that sits in this lavish feast, and while these idiots are out there thinking they've got something better.

I wish I could get through to every pastor. You need to do what this banquet band did. Get your whole church staff together and say, you're no longer about skinny jeans, fog machines and big screens. Today, we're going to be about winning souls and outreach and we're going to go out and get the lost and we're going to bring them in. Just because the religious crowd doesn't want the Holy Spirit.

I've seen a lot of people get saved. I've seen some very shockingly messed up people get saved. It struck me that what is a chair in a church really? Because the banquet man said, these words, look at me, "My house must be full." And people look at Mario and they say, "You seem like you're talking "out of both sides of your mouth. Because one thing you're telling pastors "they should not be totally obsessed with church growth, "but by the same token you say, "there should never be an empty seat in a church." 

Any more than there should be an empty hospital bed in a pandemic. Any more than there should be an empty seat in a lifeboat in a sinking ship. And we are the ones that need the help. We are the people invited to the banquet who said no. And the churches of California have got to wake up. Look, listen to me, this highfalutin thing that you're the megachurch, you're the guys, you're in charge, we're the ones. God can take these sparkling campuses and replace them with a movement of ex drug addicts, homeless people, prostitutes and gang bangers. I call them the Lazarus generation.
