King of Kings Worship Center's video: Mario Murillo: Ransomed from Darkness to Live in the Light of Christ Acts 26:18

Mario Murillo: Ransomed from Darkness to Live in the Light of Christ (Acts 26:18) Mario speaks at the Living Proof Los Angeles crusade on September 10, 2023. Quotes: “C.S. Lewis was asked, “How can you believe in Jesus when you cannot see him? He said, “Sir, I don’t believe in Christ because I can see him, but because by him I can see everything else.” If we will surrender to Christ, make him Lord of the state of California, we will see mercy. We will see mercy, we will see safety, it will clean up our streets and bring us enlightenment. You can come to Christ, and you will have your amnesia lifted, the scales will fall off your eyes. You will be born again as a new person, alive in Christ. Full service here: https://bit.ly/3Rjjcu0 You have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2) Pay it forward!

My goal is for you to not just experience a change of belief, but a change of condition. Once I was lost, now I'm found. There was a day in London where becoming a Christian subjected you to ridicule among intellectuals, that was prevalent, especially in some of the universities in London until two men came along, and you'll know them. One was J.R.R. Tolkien who wrote the Lord of the Rings and the other was C.S. Lewis. And one day, when did the poet laureate of England is now a Christian it was very difficult for the atheist to attack the faith. It's my goal to make it impossible. But what I want you to imagine is that the London Times in a ridicule looked at C.S. Lewis and said, how can you believe in Jesus? You can't even see him. And he looked at him and he said, sir I do not believe in Christ because I can see him but because by him I can see everything else. You have something that young man that lost his bride does not have. You have something that that young man never could have. He can regain his memory. He could suffer the proper mourning. He can maybe have emotional closure but he will never have the love of his life back. The difference with you is, is that you can come to Christ have your amnesia lifted, the scales fall off your eye and then begin to realize, now I know why I love beauty. Now I know why I love sunset. I have been washed in the blood of Christ. I'm born again. I'm a new person. I'm alive. How does God cure your loneliness? You know, scientists did a very peculiar study in which they found out that people who aren't lonely all have a similar brain. Their brain patterns are very similar. Then they went to study people who, in a poll admitted they were lonely, and they found out that each and every lonely person had a brain pattern that was completely different than other people. And so scientists said, the reason that people feel lonely even when they have friends and people feel lonely even when they're in a group is that they believe that no one understands them. Now, I want to tell you that in the opening line of a novel this is what Leo Tolstoy said. He said, all happy families are alike but sad families are always sad in a different way. And that's you. The sadness that has gripped your life. And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to harp on it. There are churches all over the Inland Empire but it doesn't matter because you're sad. You could spout all the verses of the Bible. And believe me, the devil will beat you in a Bible quiz every time. But it's your condition, it's your hurt. It's the indefinable heaviness that's on your heart and your mind that you must get rid of. Now, I want to read another verse and then I got to tell you, it says, professing themselves to be wise they became fools. The address is Romans 1:22. And change the glory of God the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man. Birds, four footed creatures, creeping things. Therefore, God gave them up to uncleanness, to the lust of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves who so exchange the truth of God for the lie. It didn't say, “a lie,” it said “the lie.” In a moment, you'll see why that's important and worshiped and served the creation rather than the creator. That's why your dream catcher is never going to catch anything. Which is blessed forever. Amen. Remember how wokeness was supposed to make us enlightened that overnight by suppressing truth, censoring opposing views, we would be equal. Instead, our cities are crumbling masses of total destruction. My hometown Union Square in San Francisco is a ghost town. It's been destroyed by what Romans chapter one said taking God out, leaving Christ out, building a society that says, we don't need God. We don't have to have God.
