0:00:01.000,0:00:02.440
Oh.

0:00:05.120,0:00:08.080
So, Mario, are you spiritual?[br]Yes.

0:00:08.280,0:00:10.160
What do you mean by that?

0:00:11.560,0:00:13.520
The way I grew up,

0:00:14.480,0:00:17.440
my heart was in my neighborhood.

0:00:17.640,0:00:20.440
But my love,

0:00:20.640,0:00:24.200
I've always been loyal to love, I've[br]always known that, but it deceived me.

0:00:24.400,0:00:26.120
I confuse the two.

0:00:26.320,0:00:31.400
If you confuse the two, they let you down[br]and I feel you have to pick yourself up.

0:00:31.600,0:00:34.240
Yourself up.[br]You can't pick yourself up.

0:00:34.360,0:00:36.720
Is that what you mean[br]by spiritual self-improvement?

0:00:36.720,0:00:38.960
Yes.[br]Talking about God

0:00:39.160,0:00:40.840
self-improvement.[br]That's what I believe in.

0:00:41.040,0:00:44.200
I believe in all religions[br]have a universal meaning.

0:00:44.200,0:00:45.680
I believe in the power of the universe.

0:00:45.880,0:00:48.760
I believe that we're all just[br]human and we're all here

0:00:48.960,0:00:51.560
to spread love.[br]And that's all I got to do.

0:00:51.760,0:00:53.200
So

0:00:53.560,0:00:56.680
do you think God created everything?

0:00:58.160,0:01:00.120
Do you think evolution created everything?

0:01:00.320,0:01:03.640
We can never know ever.[br]You may not believe.

0:01:03.840,0:01:06.440
I know, I know you can[br]know within that, Mario.

0:01:06.640,0:01:10.000
I know you don't know.[br]Yeah.

0:01:10.200,0:01:11.800
Can I say we can never know?

0:01:12.000,0:01:14.480
That's limiting your knowledge

0:01:14.880,0:01:17.000
to everything about how amazing life is.

0:01:17.000,0:01:19.240
I mean, look at the blueness[br]of the sky and the sun.

0:01:19.280,0:01:20.280
Everything about the sun.

0:01:20.410,0:01:22.360
How incredible is how incredible it is.

0:01:22.560,0:01:26.080
It's 93 million miles away[br]and it's just warm enough to write me.

0:01:26.080,0:01:27.160
It made us any closer.

0:01:27.160,0:01:28.320
We're all dead further away.

0:01:28.520,0:01:29.800
We're all dead.

0:01:30.000,0:01:32.320
If I think about how[br]amazing that is, I do.

0:01:32.520,0:01:33.600
How did they get there?

0:01:33.800,0:01:35.280
I had to learn it myself.

0:01:35.480,0:01:37.000
I had to go within

0:01:37.200,0:01:38.800
and nobody can teach it for you.

0:01:39.000,0:01:43.080
You have to go in and you can[br]unlock the secrets to the universe.

0:01:43.280,0:01:46.360
If your loyalty lies in the love[br]for yourself, that's it.

0:01:46.560,0:01:49.000
Love yourself.[br]I do love God.

0:01:49.200,0:01:51.120
I love God.

0:01:51.320,0:01:54.600
But in my mind, God is[br]the entire universe.

0:01:54.800,0:01:58.160
So I left the entire cold pantheism

0:01:58.360,0:02:00.200
spring, the painter and the painting.

0:02:00.400,0:02:01.640
You don't love the painting.

0:02:01.640,0:02:04.720
You love the painter because he's[br]the genius that created the painting.

0:02:04.920,0:02:06.480
And so if you love creation,

0:02:06.640,0:02:09.960
you're setting your affection[br]on the creation rather than the creator.

0:02:10.160,0:02:13.520
And that's called inordinate[br]affection Sorona of affections.

0:02:13.720,0:02:16.920
If your mom gave you a gift and you love[br]the gift more than you love your mother,

0:02:16.920,0:02:18.600
there's something wrong[br]you should be saying.

0:02:18.600,0:02:20.040
Hey, Mom, thanks for this car.

0:02:20.240,0:02:23.240
I'm grateful to you, not to the car.

0:02:23.440,0:02:26.040
Grateful to you for the gift.

0:02:26.240,0:02:27.920
Makes sense.

0:02:28.120,0:02:31.120
I personally know who I[br]am and why I'm here.

0:02:31.320,0:02:34.360
I found my purpose from within.

0:02:34.560,0:02:35.640
I know that to be true.

0:02:35.840,0:02:39.760
I've never lost that my entire[br]life I've been the same person.

0:02:39.960,0:02:41.440
You need love.

0:02:41.640,0:02:43.960
You can't be a man without love.

0:02:44.160,0:02:48.320
You have to separate yourself from love[br]in order to find that for yourself.

0:02:48.520,0:02:50.560
Nobody else can do it for you.[br]That's the point.

0:02:50.650,0:02:52.720
You trust yourself?[br]I do.

0:02:52.920,0:02:55.400
How many?[br]Let me ask you a question.

0:02:55.600,0:02:57.840
Spell the word shop

0:02:58.240,0:02:59.440
as a shop.

0:02:59.520,0:03:01.600
What do you do when you[br]come to a green light?

0:03:01.800,0:03:08.640
You go to work Bellwood silk[br]as I ok, what a cows drink.

0:03:08.840,0:03:12.400
Am I ok?[br]No, I drink water.

0:03:12.600,0:03:15.800
I never trust yourself because[br]we are easily deceived.

0:03:15.800,0:03:18.280
The Bible says he who trusts[br]his own heart is a fool.

0:03:18.480,0:03:20.600
A lot of people are dead because[br]they trusted their own heart.

0:03:20.600,0:03:21.400
They made judgments.

0:03:21.600,0:03:24.160
I can beat that track and overtake[br]this car and they couldn't.

0:03:24.360,0:03:27.520
Wrong judgment.[br]Let me ask another question.

0:03:27.720,0:03:31.320
You said your concept of God[br]is that he is the universe.

0:03:31.440,0:03:32.040
Yeah.

0:03:32.240,0:03:35.400
Do you think God is happy[br]with you or angry at you?

0:03:36.080,0:03:39.360
Depending on what you do,[br]God will love you for it.

0:03:39.550,0:03:41.400
Either way, that's what I believe in.

0:03:41.590,0:03:42.840
So how you doing morally?

0:03:43.040,0:03:45.960
I mean, you stay true to yourself.[br]God will love you.

0:03:46.160,0:03:47.640
It doesn't matter what you do as long as

0:03:47.640,0:03:50.040
you know in your heart you're[br]doing it for the right reason.

0:03:50.240,0:03:50.880
Love.

0:03:51.080,0:03:53.560
You have nothing to worry about[br]in this world whatsoever.

0:03:53.560,0:03:55.440
It's called faith.[br]Let's see how you do.

0:03:55.540,0:03:57.960
Do you think you're a good person?[br]Yes.

0:03:58.160,0:04:00.400
How many lies have you told in your life?

0:04:00.600,0:04:01.800
I've lost count.

0:04:02.000,0:04:04.920
What do you call someone[br]who's told lies a liar.

0:04:05.120,0:04:06.520
So you've blown that one.

0:04:06.720,0:04:08.320
You have stolen something even of yours.

0:04:08.520,0:04:10.840
Even a it's small.[br]Yeah.

0:04:11.040,0:04:14.920
You call someone who steals a liar thief.

0:04:15.120,0:04:19.200
If you deny that you lie still cheat[br]and deceit, you become those things.

0:04:19.400,0:04:24.240
And that's what you have to understand is[br]human, is that you can't lose yourself

0:04:24.440,0:04:28.440
in yourself because that's[br]the double edged sword of love.

0:04:29.120,0:04:29.800
It's out there.

0:04:29.800,0:04:32.520
You just got to find it for yourself[br]in order to truly know what it is.

0:04:32.720,0:04:35.240
And I just want to push that to everybody

0:04:35.440,0:04:38.440
that's now you saying[br]that you found yourself

0:04:38.640,0:04:40.320
what a mankind's origins.

0:04:40.520,0:04:41.680
Where do we come from?

0:04:41.880,0:04:42.920
Women.

0:04:43.120,0:04:44.280
But I mean originally.

0:04:44.280,0:04:45.600
I don't mean from your mother.

0:04:45.800,0:04:47.120
I mean, where did what

0:04:47.320,0:04:51.680
what's the origin of humanity,[br]authenticity and love the origin?

0:04:51.680,0:04:54.000
Where do we come from?[br]What was in the beginning?

0:04:54.200,0:04:57.320
Man and woman.[br]Yeah, but for men and women who created

0:04:57.520,0:05:02.080
man and woman a higher power,[br]who was their God?

0:05:02.280,0:05:05.440
Why do we exist as human beingsto love?

0:05:06.800,0:05:09.840
And we're.[br]Where are you going when you die?

0:05:10.160,0:05:11.560
Whatever you did here?

0:05:11.760,0:05:13.680
It depends.[br]It's true.

0:05:13.680,0:05:14.920
Now the third commandment.

0:05:14.920,0:05:16.400
You should not take God's name in vain.

0:05:16.600,0:05:19.000
If you ever use God's name in vain,

0:05:19.200,0:05:21.720
would you use your mother's[br]name as a cuss word?

0:05:21.920,0:05:23.040
Ever.[br]Never.

0:05:23.040,0:05:25.600
Because you honor her, but you[br]haven't loved and honored God.

0:05:25.610,0:05:27.360
You've used his name as a falsehood

0:05:27.560,0:05:29.640
to express disgust,[br]which is called blasphemy.

0:05:29.840,0:05:32.960
So serious it's punishable[br]by death in the Old Testament.

0:05:33.160,0:05:35.080
Appreciate your honesty

0:05:35.400,0:05:37.560
and your and your patience with me.

0:05:37.640,0:05:41.280
Now, Jesus said if you look at a woman[br]and last for her, commit adultery with her

0:05:41.480,0:05:44.520
in your heart. Have you ever[br]looked at a woman with last?

0:05:44.720,0:05:46.120
Yes, I'm a man.

0:05:46.320,0:05:47.560
Had sex before marriage.

0:05:47.760,0:05:49.480
Yes, I'm a man.[br]So marry.

0:05:49.480,0:05:51.240
I'm not judging you.[br]You judge yourself.

0:05:51.240,0:05:53.480
But you've told me you're a lying,[br]thieving, blasphemous,

0:05:53.680,0:05:57.360
fornicating adulterer at heart and you[br]have to face God on judgment day.

0:05:57.360,0:05:59.320
If he judges you by the Ten Commandments

0:05:59.520,0:06:03.040
of looked at four, you're going[br]to be innocent or guilty,

0:06:03.240,0:06:05.960
guilty, heaven or hell,hell.

0:06:07.160,0:06:09.120
Does that concern you

0:06:09.840,0:06:13.000
deep down here horrifies me.[br]We've just met.

0:06:13.090,0:06:14.680
I love you.[br]I care about you.

0:06:14.880,0:06:18.000
The thought of you going[br]to hell just breaks my heart.

0:06:18.200,0:06:20.760
Do you know what death actually is?

0:06:20.960,0:06:22.960
According to the Bible enlightenment?

0:06:23.160,0:06:27.160
Well, no, it's wages says[br]the wages of sin is death.

0:06:27.360,0:06:30.960
God's given you death as wages[br]for your son is paying you in death.

0:06:31.060,0:06:32.960
He's given you capital punishment like

0:06:33.160,0:06:37.360
a judge looks at a heinous criminal, is[br]rape three girls and then murdered them.

0:06:37.360,0:06:39.960
He says you've earned the death sentence.[br]This is your wages.

0:06:40.160,0:06:41.680
This is what's due to you.

0:06:41.880,0:06:44.600
And sin is so serious to God,

0:06:44.800,0:06:48.320
Maria,[br]that he's given you capital punishment,

0:06:48.520,0:06:51.240
lying, thieving, blasphemous,[br]fornicating adulterer at heart.

0:06:51.390,0:06:52.040
Now, tell me,

0:06:52.240,0:06:55.400
what did God do for guilty sinners[br]so we wouldn't have to go to hell?

0:06:55.600,0:06:57.040
Do you remember

0:06:59.920,0:07:02.320
he came up with the idea

0:07:02.880,0:07:07.880
that depending on what you do here,[br]you're either good or bad and that's it.

0:07:08.080,0:07:10.680
You just got to stick to it[br]and have the faith in that.

0:07:10.880,0:07:12.880
And that's not what he did.

0:07:13.080,0:07:15.840
Jesus suffered and died on the cross[br]for the sin of the world.

0:07:15.960,0:07:18.160
The Ten Commandments are[br]called the moral law.

0:07:18.360,0:07:20.160
You and I broke the law.

0:07:20.360,0:07:22.280
Jesus paid the fine.

0:07:22.480,0:07:25.120
That's what happened on that cross.

0:07:25.320,0:07:28.440
Mario, if you're in court and someone[br]pays your fine, a judge can let you go.

0:07:28.640,0:07:29.600
Did you know that?

0:07:29.800,0:07:32.160
You can say, Mario, there's[br]a stack of speeding fines here.

0:07:32.360,0:07:34.800
This is deadly serious,[br]but someone's paid him.

0:07:34.800,0:07:37.240
You're free to go and he can do that,[br]which is legal and right.

0:07:37.440,0:07:39.880
And just and God loves you so much.

0:07:40.080,0:07:41.400
He became a human being,

0:07:41.400,0:07:44.840
suffered and died on the cross to take[br]the punishment for the sin of the world.

0:07:45.040,0:07:46.760
That means you don't[br]have to end up in hell.

0:07:46.960,0:07:51.160
God can legally forgive you sentence[br]because he's the lover of your soul.

0:07:51.360,0:07:53.800
And then Jesus rose from the dead[br]and defeated death.

0:07:54.000,0:07:58.120
Mario, if you give up the battle and just[br]say, God, I'm a rebel and you repent

0:07:58.120,0:08:01.040
and trust in Christ,[br]God will forgive every cent you've ever

0:08:01.240,0:08:04.000
committed and grant everlasting[br]life as a free gift.

0:08:04.200,0:08:05.240
Do you believe what I'm saying?

0:08:05.440,0:08:07.200
Yes, it's the gospel truth.

0:08:07.340,0:08:08.440
I wouldn't lie to you.

0:08:08.640,0:08:10.760
Are you ready to repent[br]and trust in Christ?

0:08:10.960,0:08:12.880
Yes, I pray with you.

0:08:13.080,0:08:15.080
Sure, although I pray for Mario.

0:08:15.280,0:08:16.720
Think we met today.[br]Thank you.

0:08:16.750,0:08:18.120
We met today.[br]I pray today.

0:08:18.320,0:08:21.680
He'll truly repent[br]and trust in Jesus and have a since

0:08:21.880,0:08:26.960
forgiven and a second pass from death[br]to life in Jesus name we pray.

0:08:27.160,0:08:29.120
Amen.[br]You have a Bible.

0:08:29.120,0:08:30.160
I

0:08:30.360,0:08:31.480
know.

0:08:31.680,0:08:35.360
I'm, I'm going to give you some literature[br]that you know while you're weeping.

0:08:35.560,0:08:36.960
Any idea

0:08:37.440,0:08:40.440
because I have sinned as a man.

0:08:40.640,0:08:42.600
OK, that's called contrition.

0:08:42.800,0:08:44.560
And the Bible says godly sorrow.

0:08:44.760,0:08:46.920
Being sorry for your[br]sins works repentance.

0:08:47.120,0:08:51.000
So I trust today that God's[br]brought conviction of sin to you.

0:08:51.000,0:08:54.280
And, you know, you have sinned against God[br]and you'll understand that

0:08:54.480,0:08:57.240
God can forgive you and grant you[br]everlasting life as a free gift.

0:08:57.240,0:08:58.520
I've got some literature for you.

0:08:58.720,0:09:01.640
OK, Mario, thank you for talking to me.[br]I really appreciate it.

A friend recently asked me to send him

0:09:10.480,0:09:13.960
the full Mario interview so they[br]could show it to his church.

0:09:14.160,0:09:17.080
Then he sent me this email.[br]OK.

0:09:17.280,0:09:22.400
They were blown away yesterday by the[br]Mario video, brought several to tears.

0:09:22.600,0:09:23.720
Not kidding.

0:09:23.920,0:09:25.760
I closed out the service by asking

0:09:25.960,0:09:29.440
who would attend a class where we could[br]learn how to do what we just saw.

0:09:29.640,0:09:32.440
They do half the church said sign them up

0:09:32.640,0:09:36.800
and more from the half that didn't[br]will once they see it happening.

0:09:37.000,0:09:40.960
When he asked what he should use,[br]I suggested the basic training course.
