Our Guest Jim Maxim
JIM: And so I understood that for the first time in my life, this little book had some kind of power in it because I was weeping. The spirit of God had just overpowered… I grabbed that Bible, Sid. I put it on my chest in that bus station. And I said, “God, get these words in me, Almighty God, get them in me. I know for the first time in my life, I’ve got a track to run on. I’ve got some kind of supernatural thing going on in this book.”
SID: Well, right now I want you to look in the camera and help people have that same encounter you had right now.
JIM: Jesus Christ loves you so much. He gave his life for you on that cross. I don’t care how far you’ve gone. I don’t care what you’ve done. It doesn’t matter. The blood of Jesus Christ is all sufficient. It washes all our sins away. If you’ve never asked Christ to be your savior. If you’ve been around Christianity, but if you have never asked Christ to be your personal Lord and savior, say this prayer with me. Father,
Audience: Father,

JIM: When Jesus said in Matthew 6:6 “Go into your secret place and close door and your father that sees in secret will reward thee openly.” Jesus used to come to me early in the morning. He would come to me. God, the father would say, “Jimmy, come Jimmy. I’m here. Jimmy, come, come away with me. In other words, Jimmy, get out of bed. Jimmy, I want to speak to you. I want to love you, I want to teach you things that you don’t know anything about. Jimmy, if you come with me, I’ll begin to speak to your heart.” And so Sid, I started to get up when the Lord would come into my room. Even in the Marines, I would get up and I would just walk out in the woods somewhere. I would get away. I would take my Bible and I didn’t know anything about Christ. How could I? But Jesus started to speak to me.
JIM: And then I read that little story that Jesus said “It is expedient for you. That I go away because unless I go, the Holy Spirit can’t come.” And then I started to say, the Holy Spirit? What do you mean? And then the Holy Spirit, I learned was a person, not an it, not a thing, but a person. And so as I began to talk to the Holy Spirit, He began to talk to me. He began to teach me the scriptures. He began to write the scriptures on the door of my heart. And in my mind I could see the scriptures in front of me. And as I was telling the guys in the Marines they’d look at my face, my face was totally distorted. I had to have six months of plastic surgery, which is a miracle, don’t have time to get into today, that the Marines did, but they’d look at my distorted face and ask me.
