Mario Murillo: I Cried Out to God & He Ransomed Me From My Sin (Psalm 34:6)
Mario speaks at the Living Proof Tent Crusade in Bakersfield, CA, on 3/13/2023. Quotes: “When Jesus comes into a room, suddenly fear is replaced by love. Guilt is replaced by purity. Insecurity becomes boldness. You belong, you know you are somebody.  That woman that I saw on the video at Canyon Hills, I couldn't get past when she said, "I never had hope. I never believed I would stop doing drugs and alcohol. I never believed, I never believed that there would come a day when what I really wanted out of life would happen to me." Then she said, "These people showed me love." These people took the time."

The Bible tells us that in a great house, there are not just vessels of silver and gold, but of hay, wood and stubble. It says, “of vessels unto honor and vessels unto dishonor.” (2 Timothy 2:20) Then the Bible says, v21, “if a man separate himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, meet for the master's use and prepared for every good work.” 

There is a group of Christians that walk out of church empty and frustrated. The greatest delight of my life was that this Sunday morning, I got to speak at Canyon Hills to an excited church; a church that's on fire, that's feeding the poor. They are not alone in being a great church, there are many great churches. But there is a deep abiding rejection of commercial Christianity going on right now.

The people are saying, “I'm not content to be entertained. I want to feel God. I want somebody to preach the word of God to me. Somebody help me right now. I want someone to get me free of arrogance, of pride, of carnality. I'm up to here with preachers that don't know the difference between sin and truth.”

I'm going to direct my attention to all of you who are in this room that need to be set free of a habit, that need to be set free of the fear, the rage and the anxiety of the world that we're in. And for that, I'm going to read a few verses, so please look this way. Genesis 32:24 says, "Then Jacob was left alone."

Many of you in this room suffer from a loneliness that you feel even when you're around people. You could be around friends and feel alone. You nurse the opinion that if something bad ever really happened to you, there would be no one there to help you. The Bible says, "Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him," It wasn't just a man; it was God, until the break of day. Now when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the strongest joint in the human body, right here, where the femur and the hip [meet], and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as he wrestled with him and he said "let me go for the day breaks."

But he said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." So he said to him, "what is your name?" He said, "Jacob." He said, "Your name no longer will be called Jacob but Israel, for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed." Everybody stop; I've got to do this. I've got to do this right now. If you were raised in the inner city, if you were raised poor, if you were raised in a broken family, you're going to instantly relate with everything I'm saying right now.

Jacob felt like an illegitimate child. He felt like he had no genuine value as a human being. His name meant con artist. He had a name that said, I'm a con artist. There's nothing valid about me. There's nothing legitimate about me. All my life, I've wished I could be a valid person, a real dignified either a man or a woman of means, of reputation, of value Then the system chews you up and spits you out. And what happened? All of a sudden, and you need to know this about Christianity. When Jesus comes into a room, suddenly fear is replaced by love. Guilt is replaced by purity. Insecurity becomes boldness. You belong, you know you are somebody. The scream of your heart, the cry of your life is one profound thing. I wish I was somebody. I don't know who I am. I wish I was somebody.

God walked by and Jacob knew it was God. He knew his moment had arrived. It's either now or never. I'm going to grab a hold of God and say, "God, change me, make me something I've never been before, make my life of value." Look, that woman that I saw on the video at Canyon Hills, I couldn't get past when she said, "I never had hope. I never believed I would stop doing drugs and alcohol. I never believed, I never believed that there would come a day when what I really wanted out of life would happen to me." Then she said, "These people showed me love." These people took the time."
