Fifty five KRS The Talk Station eighth six, fifty five
Karseni Talk Station. Brian Thomas wishing a very happy Monday
and welcome you to the fifty five KRS Mornings. Just
be a fascinating and uplifting discussion. David Scarlett. He's a
former US marine and telecommunications executive. Pastor Scarlett has written
(00:27):
this book and rather than go over his background, which
the book is about his background in his life, he's
written a book we're gonna be talking about this morning,
All for His Glory, The Near Death Experience of a
Modern day job. David Scarlett, Pastor Scarlett, Welcome to the
fifty five KRCY Morning Show. It's a pleasure to have
you on this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, Brian, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And part of your story is the founding of His
Glory Ministries, which is a Christian answer reach group. We'll
get to that in a moment, but let's talk about
the title All for His Glory, a The Near Death
Experience of a modern day job, perhaps incorrectly titled Didn't
You Actually Die?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I did. I technically died three times. I had two
near death experiences. So it's taken up to the throne
room of heaven, saw all the glory, and the Lord said,
you know you're going to go back and start a
ministry called by my name. His glory comes from the
Hebrew word cavode, and that literally means his essence, and
that's exactly what we did.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, the thumbnail sketchy, this outline already sending chills down
my spine. The idea that you actually died through there
three times. Tell my listeners the circumstances around that before
we move forward, and how that impacted profoundly the rest
of your life.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, it was seven seven seventh, the seventh day of
the seventh month of oh seven. So God always has
a plan and detail. All his dates me many things
in our lives. So I ate botulism talks and through
a can a chili. I came back from traveling overseas
and the Cleveland clinic didn't know what it was. I
was put into intensive care on Friday, the thirteenth of
(02:03):
oout seven, and I died that first night. I didn't
have a near death experience that first night, but I
did die clinically for a couple of minutes. They brought
me back and then they try to wean me off
the machine, off the breathing machine. Because watulism completely destroys
your central nervous system. Everything shuts down. You can't breathe
on your own. You can't speak, you can't talk, you
(02:25):
can't eat. So that happened, and I remember them getting
me stable to Cleveland Clint doctors try to pull the
tube to get me to breathe on my own, and
the panic on their face was just something you'll never forget.
You knew at that moment that you're gone. Your life
here on earth was over. I didn't feel any pain,
(02:46):
even though it wasn't not being able to breathe. You
think of the anxiety and pain there. It was completely
the opposite. Was joy, peace, love, peace of God, peace
of God, and just it wasn't just that. Then he
took me up to the Third Heaven and I got
to see heaven. I saw the beauty. I saw everything
(03:07):
that smelled better, taste better, look better outside of this world,
and it was just joy, love, peace and just perfect perfection.
And then he showed me these pictures of my life
from infant to the time I was at the time
thirty nine, and the beautiful Mahogany pictures, and these were
pictures never taken on earth, they were only taken by him.
(03:28):
Inside those pictures were perfection. All sin was wiped away
for good. But he later told me six months later
that there was something missing in those pictures, and that
was my report card. I didn't do anything for him.
I got to Heaven barely, so my report card was empty.
So he brought me back into the Cleveland Clinic ICU,
(03:49):
and as soon as I came back, I said, wow,
I just experienced have it. And he starts talking to
me and I said, I want to see Jesus, and
I couldn't even get the prayer out of my mind.
And there at the end of that my bed was
Jesus Christ, just glowing with this radiant white as in
the Book of Revelation. Didn't say a word, he didn't
need to. It's just complete joy and peace and love
(04:12):
of like I experienced up in that third Heaven. And
then then I had all kinds of problems. I had them.
I came back and they got pneumonia, collapsed, long seven
different of surgeries on my stomach for internal bleeding. One
step forward, two steps back, and then they at the
second time I had a near death experience. They had
(04:35):
all the Cleveland Clinic doctors ready to pull the plug
because they thought they got me stable, and as soon
as they pulled it, they went horribly wrong again, and
I was lifted above the ICU room and I could
see the panic on all the doctor's faces. They said,
come back, come back, you can beat this. And I
just felt this love, joy, peace from the Lord and
I said, why are they panicking? I feel perfectly fine,
(04:58):
and he said, I'm going to bring you back. You're
going to start ministry called by my name, his glory.
So I came back and then I had to be
weaned off the machine, learn how to talk again, walk again.
The after effects of bosses and toxin are worse than
even believe it or not when you're on an incubator,
so you have chronic fatigue and chronic pain. But God
(05:20):
used that a perfect way, because I was a type
A personality. If he wouldn't have put me in those situations,
I would have been back to the corporate world, back
in doing what I was doing before. But he used
those times for me to slow down and it had
to focus only on him. And that's where I learned
the Bible, and that's where we got the Ministry His
Glory up and running, and now we reach twenty five
(05:40):
million people in every country of the world.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That is truly amazing. There's no question about that. And
no one can deny your personal experience on that you
actually felt this and lived it. Can I have an
important thing first off, I have to observe when you're
talking about your empty report card. I'm reminded of the
line I think it was from Papion where the main
character is in front of a he's dreaming and you're
guilty of a wasted life. And you know this was
(06:05):
sort of, you know, in his sort of sort of
afterlife type of experience he was experiencing. In the movie,
you are guilty of a wasted life didn't really have
as much a response because it was true in that
particular case, he was a criminal. But you see your
empty report card. Where were you in your life? I
want to think, relative to your faith in God and
belief in Christ, where were you before this near death experienced.
(06:27):
Were you a very religious man? Did you have just
some religion. I mean, I know your business world is
a completely separate thing. But in terms of your faith,
where were you?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
No? I was. I was a nine to one one Christian.
I would pray when I was in trouble, and that
was it. They go back to it. But I had
the first part of my trials and tribulations was a
severe marital situation and I decided to stay in that
marriage against all odds, and I couldn't do it, so
I had to get on my knees and that's where
I first started to get to know the Lord before
(06:58):
that near death experience happened. I am convinced this day
that if it weren't for my first trial and sir
reulation with my wife, I never would have saw heaven.
I was. I thought I was saved, but I wasn't.
Just because you go to church doesn't make you a Christian,
court make you say, of course. And it took that
first trial and again I got there, but I didn't
(07:19):
have a report card, so I don't think I would
have got there without that first trial and sirpulation.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well that's interesting because I would mark you down as
a positive grade for your efforts to save your marriage
and you're you know, perhaps turning to faith through religion
in order to do that obviously had a profound impact
on your near death experience or your death experience.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, that was what got me to have and I
started seeking his face because I knew I couldn't do
it myself. I was very successful in the corporate world.
I was number one director at AT and T. Wow, everything
came easy. I had all the money, I had all
the fame, I had all the fortune. I had the
biggest head in the world. And the Lord has a
way of popping that and getting us humble because he
(07:57):
can't use a servants that are not home. That's why
Satan fell from heaven is vanity, and we have to
be humbled to be able to be used by God.
And oh boy, did he humble me. And then once
he can get you humbled, he can use you for
his purpose in his glory. Literally.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
So with this new inspiration and injection of faith, how
was it, How did you go about founding His glory ministries?
And what is the purpose of His Glori's ministries? For
those folks out there who are already familiar with the day know,
but for my listening audience and hey, I've never heard
of this before. Sounds amazing. What is it, how did
you do it, and what is it intended for.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, it's intended to hit the seven mountains of society,
to be to take the seven mountains that are filled
with the secular evil of the world that we see today,
and it's being exposed to be an influence through Jesus
Christ in all seven mountains. So that's why we're in
every nation, every country of the world to bring the
(08:58):
Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way to the world
through a biblical lens. So our programming we might have
an American doctor on, we might have an American general.
We tackle all societies issues well through a biblical lens
so that you can see where God through Jesus Christ
impacts us in every one of those mountains. And that's
what the Lord told us to do. We're a very
(09:19):
different ministry. We don't have a building that we go
to on Sundays. We are a peer internet and that
was his idea. That's where he came up with dot
em and dot TV for his glory. So we do
twenty four to seven broadcasting on dot ME and then
we do movies in Praise Music dot TV. The War
on Truth with Nick Cercy's one of our movies that
(09:41):
we just came out with, The Child the Truth about
January sixth, Mickey willis Holyland was our trip to Israel
to get a biblical view of Israel before October seventh happen.
It was almost like it was prophetic when we made
that movie. So we are doing anything and everything in
the Seven Mountains to reach the people from Jesus Christ
for such a time as this.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
How do you compete? You mentioned the secular world we
live in, and Lord knows we do. How do you
compete with that? I mean everywhere I turn I read
about fewer and fewer people are turning to religion, Fewer
and fewer people are going to church. I would think
that to connect someone would have to all with all
his all for his glory. Your book, maybe somebody already
has to have a foundation in Christianity in order to
(10:23):
make that next step going from a nine to one
to one Christian as you said you were, or a
C and E Christian, to someone who's truly devoted and
connected with the faith. How do you reach the people
who have had no connection with Christ, the Gospel, the Bible,
or any religion at all for that matter. I mean,
you've got a heavy, heavy weight to just get your
foot in the door in this modern world.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Well, God is helping us along that way. You know.
We look at the last few years of COVID nineteen
as horrible, and yes there's horrible aspects of that. But
I travel the country and everywhere I go and I
see people that follow His glory. Their lives have changed.
They're realizing what their purpose is. Their purpose wasn't just
to work their entire life and retire and die. Their
(11:05):
purpose is driven by God himself through Jesus Christ. So
this last three years, four years has been awakening to
these people to say, hey, what am I here for?
And they're getting they're getting unified. We have warrior groups
where like minded Christ's people all over. We're in every
all fifty states, and they get together and share their
stories and pray over each other and build the body
(11:27):
of Christ for such a time as this. So yeah,
by going into the Seven Mountains, we're reaching the secular world.
We travel the United States the last three years with
General Flynn and the Reawakened Tour We've baptized for seventy
five hundred people at these events, and people come in
because they're patriots, but they learn what the most important
thing is to be a patriot. We were founded under
(11:49):
Judeo Christian values by our forefathers. Most of them other
than one one of them were Christians, and they're giving
their life to Christ and Christians are becoming patriots and
patriot shore becoming Christians.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's an amazing story. All for his gorgon near death
experience of a mod of day job by my guest today,
David Scarlett. Pastor Scarlett, you're the only person I've talked
to who had one of these near death experiences. My
father had a dear friend, I was a doctor in
the community.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
He died on the operating table and he had a
very similar experience. He was watching the doctor's work on him.
He heard what they said, but he felt absolute calm,
that peace of God that you described. He saw people
who had passed before him, his mother and others who
told him, no, doctor, you need to go back. You've
got more work to do. And from that point forward,
(12:37):
and I think this is the important thing I'm trying
to reach in terms of the point. He never apparently,
I never talked to him again. This is repeated a
story for my father never worried about anything again. He
knew that everything was going to be fine, that he
saw what was coming after, and it relieved him all
all the burdens and anxieties that we face on this earth.
And people who embrace faith to that degree already feel
(13:00):
that way without a near death experience. And it sounds
to me like this book is intended to get others
to that.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Point exactly, because life is just a bluff, hear, once
you have that peace and joy of heaven and know
it's real, and know the Father is real, know the
Son's real, know the Holy Spirit's real, and that they
are they have your well being. What's the worst they
can do? Kill you? You know. That's the third part
(13:25):
of my book. I had seven tempts on my life
because of the truth that we bring out at His glory,
and I don't worry. I still don't worry about it
because when God takes me out, my report card will
be filled and I'll be home with Him in Eternity.
Eternity is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
