We Need to Be About Our Father's Business

I drove for the hour. I sat there with her another hour and talked about how God loves her. She was so happy that God had showed his favor and she talked about him. She said, I won't ever be violent again. I won't ever do this again to anyone. And I thought, oh wow, God, you really used me because I don't know where that came from. Welcome to the Ignite with Barry McGuire podcast where Barry's book and passion for spreading God's love are guaranteed to ignite your life. Now listen in and prepare to have your life ignited. We're back with Kim Stewart, otherwise known as Auntie Kim and she's so full of the Lord and so good to have you here with us today, Kim. If you give me two or three examples of impromptu, just just happen experiences when you're bumping into somebody. It's one of those God encounters. You just know God puts somebody in your life that you could encourage. Oh, I'm going to give you the best one first. A lady, oh no, I guess that's not the best one. They're all good. They're all good. Being that I own lady cab drivers, I own a cab company. I get to minister. That's where my ministry is. So I get a lady in. I pick her up from the prison. She was in the jail and I don't know what is the East jail overnight for violence. She's about 75 years old. Yeah, 75 year old. She's about, I'm going to give her about 95 pounds. And she was violent. Yes, she beat up her husband that night. And so they put her in jail for the night. She gets in the cab and she says, I want him dead. And I'm thinking, oh God, no. God helped me with what to say to her right now. She wants to pull over at a liquor store and she wants to get a bottle of vodka. And she tells me that she's a gymnast and she beat her husband up and she'll beat him up again. And I said, okay, let's start over again. I tell her, okay, let's start over. You just spent the night in jail. Do you really think your father wants you to stay in? Who's my father? I say, let me tell you about Jesus Christ. She stopped. She said, you know, nobody's ever told me about him. I was supposed to take her to Hemant, which is an hour drive from where we were at. I drove her the hour. I sat there with her another hour and talked about how God loves her. She was so happy that God had showed his favor and she talked about him. She said, I won't ever be violent again. I won't ever do this again to anyone. And I thought, oh, wow, God, you really used me because I don't know where that came from. Because I was like, okay, push it. Push it up, feeling every time. Push it up. It's like if I was in the flesh, I would like push her out the car. No, I don't want to talk about this because she wants to kill somebody. And then they don't have me. I'm just going to sit over here just to get her here. Exactly. I'm going to drive her fast, you know, but no, God actually used me in that one. You know, again, God never says oops. Everything's on purpose. Absolutely. There are no chance encounters. No. No. God is always there. Yes. And always wanting to use it. Yeah. To draw people to Him. Yes. That's right. It was all the time. It was good. What's the best part of life for you? For me, just serving Him. Being able to meet people, being able to tell someone about His goodness and His grace. And no matter what we're going through, know that He's able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think. Or even imagine. Even imagine. For me to be sitting here. God. Oh, my God. You know, for me, I'm like. Well, you're too far away from me to give you a high five. But high five. You know, I mean, that's it. I feel it every day. Every day. Every day. So honored that we know Him now in these last days. Yes. And conserve Him and tell other people about Him. Yes. Be a part of these last moments of time. Isn't that a privilege? Yes, it is. My privilege to know you. God, it's true. Your brother and sister. Yes. Your sister. Yes, yes, yes. We're going to spend the 30 together. We're going to hang out. That's it. We're going to hang out. You know. Exactly. That's the awesome. Millions of years ago. I was like, hey, we're going to have a conversation back and they were talking about all that stuff. Okay. That's it. That's the exciting part about it. You know. Here, we're just passing through. But while we're passing through, let's tell somebody about Him. Like Sam's through the hourglass. I mean, the sand is running out. Yes. It is. So we need to be about our father's business. Yes, we do. The words we've heard through our lives now are so poignant. Yes. We need to take advantage of every moment of every day. Every day. People are lost all around us. I'm telling them. Our calling is to be salt and light to change our life.
