Mario Murillo: Save Yourself From This Perverse Generation (Acts 2:40)
Mario speaks at the Living Proof Tent Crusade in Roseville, CA, on 11/16/2022.
Quotes: “You've got to know Him. You can't let that hardness and bitterness and brokenness and pain burn a hole in your soul. No, sir. I won't let you. I won't let you out of my influence right now. If you're broken, if you're sad, if you're addicted, if you're hurting, there is a God, there is a Christ ready to stand up strong, get the devil off your back, and turn you around.”

Acts 2:40 (NKJV) “With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”

So I'm going to tell you, the thief on the cross
did not have a good gospel presentation.
The Christ that he saw was a wounded dying animal, wheezing.
He wasn't delivering the eloquent words
of the Sermon on the Mount.
Somehow through his own pain,
and somehow through the pain of Christ,
the power of Jesus came through anyway.
Imagine at that depth of the Christ
being tortured and bloody and beaten
and crucified, his eyes still projected a compassion
that could save a man on death row dying right next to him.
It made him say something he never thought he'd say.
He said to his partner, "Quit cursing this man.
We deserve what we're getting, but he's innocent."
Then he looked at Jesus and said,
"Remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Jesus said, "This day, you will be with me in paradise."
Now I'm going to stop you right now and tell you,
you are like that thief on the cross
that's seen the underbelly of religion.
You've seen Christianity beaten, misrepresented,
commercialized, and hypocrites.
You say, Mario, "I won't go to church, those people are hypocrites."
Well, if your dentist was a hypocrite would you stop brushing your teeth?
Luke 14:23 says, "Then the master said to his servant,
'Go to the highways and the hedges
and urge and constrain them to yield and come in.'"
Suppose you woke up one morning and there was an Amber Alert,
and you saw a picture of a 10-year-old girl.
You saw her face, her eyes, and her hair color.
And by some strange coincidence, about sunset,
you were driving by a park,
and there she was on a swing by herself,
and you don't know why her kidnapper isn't with her.
By the same token, there's only one reason
that you're sitting under this tent,
is you've already overcome the power of the devil.
Because Satan would never have given you permission
to be here right now.
So you've already won one battle by sitting where you are.
He's out there saying, "I thought I had them.
I thought I controlled them.
What are they doing listening to this crazy man?"
So what are you going to do? You going to pull your car over?
You going to walk over to that little girl on the swing
and do modern preaching?
I know that you're offended by men,
and I know that you think I'm strange,
but I'd like you to pray and consider the thought of going home.
You might say something else.
"Little girl, do you want me to go and get someone for you?
I'm kind of busy right now, and church has gone on a long time,
and our best tithers are not going to tithe anymore
if we go past noon." Am I preaching yet?
So you see that little girl and you use the word compel.
"Look at me, young lady! You are getting in my car,
and you're going to get to the police station.
Tonight you're going to sleep in your own bed
and you're going to be safe in the arms of your mom and dad.
That's an altar call.
Don't tell me you're going to go home and think about this.
You don't think about, "Should I jump off the railroad tracks
when the locomotive is about to crush me?"
You don't think about, "Oh, I need time to consider the cost."
You're paying a debt daily in emotion and in freedom and in sanity.
You're paying an expensive price
that makes discipleship to Christ look like nothing.
That's why he said, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light," because compared to what the people
looked like to him when he had compassion.
You cannot go on the way you're going right now. No!
You can't fake being a Christian anymore. You've got to know Him.
You can't let that hardness and bitterness
and brokenness and pain burn a hole in your soul.
No, sir. I won't let you.
I won't let you out of my influence right now.
If you're broken, if you're sad, if you're addicted,
if you're hurting, there is a God,
there is a Christ ready to stand up strong,
get the devil off your back, and turn you around.
