Ever feel like your prayers hit the ceiling and bounce back? You're not alone. In this soul-stirring episode, host Ron Myers and his guest Mike unpack the transformative power of authentic prayer—not as a religious duty, but as a direct connection to the Creator of the universe.
Mike's journey from military service to prayer ministry reveals how honest communication with God creates supernatural peace amid life's storms. Through powerful real-world examples, we witness broken families reconciled, business conflicts resolved, and stress levels dropping dramatically when people stop treating prayer as a last resort emergency hotline and start embracing it as a continuous conversation.
"Pain will make you pray," Mike observes, "but most of us only bring God our emergencies while handling the small stuff ourselves." This mindset shift—recognizing that God cares about every detail of our lives—is what transforms prayer from ritual to relationship.
Ron shares five practical keys to developing a powerful prayer life: recognizing your union with Christ, embracing freedom in prayer (no specific formulas required), focusing on relationship rather than ritual, being completely honest with God, and trusting the Holy Spirit's guidance. These principles help break down the barriers that often make prayer feel distant or ineffective.
Ready to experience the game-changing power of authentic prayer? Whether you're struggling with family conflicts, workplace challenges, or personal battles, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiration to develop the kind of prayer life that brings peace before circumstances even change. Discover how to move beyond "bless you, bless her, bless him" prayers into transformative conversations with Jesus that will get the hell out of your life and open the doorway to divine connection.

Today's show will encourage,inspire and empower you to face
life's challenges with a boldconfidence and renewed hope.
Now let's join our host, ronMyers.
The promoter.
Ron Meyers (00:22):
Hello, my friends, I am so excited about today's
show.
I tell you all the time aboutconversations with Jesus.
I'm going to go a little deeperwith that today.
Basically, prayer communicationwith God through his son, Jesus
.
Friends, when you can reallydiscover the power in prayer,
the power in just that directline of communication, it is a
(00:43):
game changer.
It really is.
You're going to hear a lotabout that from my guest, Mike,
and then I'll go into moredetail in the monologue.
But my guest today, Mike, well,he is a man after God's heart.
He loves to pray for people.
That's the call on his life,Mike.
How did we meet?
I know it was a few years agoover the telephone.
Mike Holliday (01:04):
Yeah, I listened to your show, I was a fan, and I
listened to you interviewpeople every week and I said,
well, ron, what about you?
Ron Meyers (01:12):
What's your background, and that's how we
got started Well and it's been agreat friendship, and I have
followed you and you are a manthat loves Jesus.
Mike Holliday (01:21):
Yes, I do, yes, I do, and it all started when I
got saved and my dad acceptedJesus, back in Miami in like the
early 70s.
So what happened?
Well, my early memories in lifeis my mom and dad fighting,
physically fighting.
I was five years old and mysister was 12.
(01:43):
And they're not yelling,screaming, cussing, they're
actually going at each otherphysically and my 12-year-old
daughter, my 12-year-old sister,is between the two and dad
leaves the house, mom packs herbag I'm five years old, the
youngest of five and she goesoutside.
There's a taxi and I'm crying,said I want to stay with mom and
(02:04):
mom go no, you got to stay withYvonne, your older sister.
I go no, mom, I want to go withyou.
Well, we were not Christians.
So what happened is my mom anddad got a divorce and my mom was
having an affair with an olderman.
My mom was young, attractive,this guy was older, had his own
business, and the plan was theyboth were going to leave their
spouse.
My mom was going to leave herhusband, which she did.
(02:26):
He was supposed to leave hiswife, which he didn't, and mom
moved two blocks away and wewere raised by my dad in the
early 70s and he took you to achurch or had an encounter with
Jesus himself.
Ron Meyers (02:40):
What brought you to Jesus?
Mike Holliday (02:41):
Well, you know, my dad was always a very angry
man and I remember my mom whendad were married, we would look
out the door and see my dadcoming home.
We go, mom, did we do anythingwrong today?
Because my dad was asharecropper from Mississippi, a
hardworking man, but we wereraised in an era where children
should be seen and not heard,and so we would run and hide,
(03:03):
and if dad was in a good mood itwas safe to come out.
If not, then we just stayedhidden.
So my dad raised us and fastforward to age 15.
I'm sitting there talking to mydad and my dad he looks
different, he sounds different.
We have a wonderfulconversation, we're laughing and
talking, which that neverreally happened.
And I said, dad, what happenedto you?
(03:24):
He said I accepted Jesus and wewere heathens.
We didn't go to church.
I didn't know what acceptingJesus meant, but I knew that
Jesus was powerful because hechanged my dad from being Dark
Vader to like being a normalhuman being and we never went to
church and from that point on,after Dad accepted Jesus, we
went to church every Sunday.
Ron Meyers (03:45):
Hallelujah.
Mike Holliday (03:45):
Yes.
Ron Meyers (03:46):
And then didn't you go military, were you military?
Yes, sir.
Mike Holliday (03:50):
I joined the military, did 24 years in the
Air Force, retired at a KeeslerAir Force base.
Ron Meyers (03:55):
And you stayed here.
Mike Holliday (03:56):
And I stayed here after retirement.
Ron Meyers (03:59):
And well, the coast is blessed to have someone like
you here, and you have a passionnow.
Your passion is you like topray, exactly.
Mike Holliday (04:07):
When I joined, when I got out of the military,
I was having a rough time in mylife.
My personal sins, marriagewasn't doing so well and God
told me specifically I needaccountability partner.
So I got accountability partnerand it was a little weird
because I just went, a guy.
I met a Christian assistantpastor, tony Graham.
(04:28):
He's now the chaplain atHarrison County Jail and I asked
him to be my accountabilitypartner.
He agreed to it and for thefirst time in my Christian life
I was able to tell another manabout my sins, about my
struggles in my life, and Ialways said, if I ever was open
and honest with another person,they'd kick me out of the church
, basically.
But the opposite happened.
(04:49):
There's a scripture that saysconfess your faults one to
another, pray for one anotherthat you might be healed.
And that's what happened withme.
I got joy, I got peace, I gotforgiveness.
And then I started meeting withother men as well and I started
to pray.
I'm a member of the 700 Club andI call them all the time and I
noticed that when I pray withthem I have this peace.
(05:10):
It was like instant.
You know, you have the stormsin your life, you have family
problems.
You got outlaw problems I meanin-law problems and then you got
the jokers on my job problems.
They get on my nerve, right,and my kids drive me crazy.
That's life, right.
But I noticed that when I calland it's calm, peace, I describe
(05:32):
it like this when you're on theairplane and the stewardess
come out with the soda andpeanuts and then all of a sudden
it gets a little rocky and shetakes the tray back and the
pilot says and the pilot says,hey, we're, we're encountering
tough weather here.
So he says we're going to getabove the storm.
And that's exactly whathappened.
So you're sitting there, you'relike man, if God get me off
(05:53):
this plane, I'm never going toget on another plane again.
Like, please help me, jesus,everybody getting religious
Right.
And then, I was sure enough,the pastor I mean the pastor
Paul.
It gets above the storm andthen the peanuts come out and
the soda comes out.
Well, that's how it was likewhen I called the 700 Club.
I'm like stressed out, I don'twant to go to work.
I got family problems, I gotthis problems.
But after they pray it's likepeace.
(06:14):
And so I would ask them.
I said, well, what are you guysare doing?
They say well, we just, we praythe scriptures, we pray, we
just quote the scriptures backto the Lord.
Lord, you said if two or threeof us are gathered together in
my name, then you'll do this.
You said ask, you have notbecause you ask not.
So I started to do that withother men and they instantly
(06:36):
felt the peace of God as well,and I have testimonies to that
end.
Ron Meyers (06:41):
And you have really become popular with that.
I know you just spoke at FirstBaptist Church to a group of men
, but there's a hunger out there.
You've told me that you can seein men because men don't seem
to open up to other people.
But God has prepared you forthis time to meet men and just
start talking, or praying.
Mike Holliday (06:59):
Exactly.
God told me to start a men'sgroup and the purpose of a men's
group is to break down thedenominational walls and the
racial walls in the church.
And I do that by talking to menfrom different churches.
Once a month we have a men'sprayer breakfast and literally I
have the guys pray for eachother, because a lot of times
you go to church, you go tochurch with your problems, you
and your wife are not gettingalong, kids not getting along,
(07:29):
and you go to church you praisethe Lord and you come back and
nothing's changed.
And as we pray with each other,form relationships, god answers
prayers.
I'll give you one example.
There's a friend of mine whoowned his own business
multi-million dollar business,fourth generation business and
his dad was suing him becauseafter COVID he was paying his
daddy payments for the businessand so everything shut down
after COVID.
So dad's not getting no money.
After COVID the money goes down.
Dad is upset.
His stepmom influenced dad tosue the son and then the son is
(07:53):
also being sued simultaneouslyby a business partner
multi-million dollar lawsuits.
So his stress level is likelevel nine on a scale of one to
10.
So I would pray with him, justlike the 700 Club Prayer
Counselors pray with me.
And we did this over a coupleof months and I told him.
I said you know what I said.
I had problems with my dadbecause my dad was angry.
(08:15):
I had resentment, but I madepeace with my dad and I said you
need to make peace with yourdad.
I said you need to write yourdad a letter telling your dad
how much you love him, that youenjoyed when he took you to the
ballpark, took you guys tochurch.
Don't say anything negativeabout your dad.
I said, because what's going tohappen is one day you're going
to bury your dad and you'regoing to be standing there,
you're going to be stricken withgrief and you're going to be in
(08:37):
this cocoon of grief and you'vebeen set up by the devil.
So he wrote the letter.
His wife said you're crazy, youbeing set up by the devil.
So he wrote the letter.
His wife said you're crazy,you're going to write your dad a
letter because you guys arefighting.
He wrote his dad a letter and afew months after that I said
well, how do you feel now?
Your stress level?
He says my stress level used tobe constantly at a nine, he
says now I walk around at athree and all that happened was
(09:01):
I prayed with him.
I can't fix.
I always say this to my guys Ican't fix, and it's a simple.
But Jesus says one of thereasons why we don't have answer
to prayer he says you have notbecause you ask not.
What we do is we complain, wegripe, complain, moan to God and
we think that's like praying,that's not prayer.
Ron Meyers (09:19):
You know, one thing I've noticed about you, mike, is
you are a constant learner.
You are always looking andreading and finding more and
more about Jesus, and do youever just kind of, when you're
alone, think, lord, you'vereally done some good things in
helping me in life, haven't you?
Mike Holliday (09:37):
Yes, sir, I do that.
But that's amazing, the thingsthat God has done for me.
But God is doing it otherpeople, amen.
So when I'm praying for otherpeople and I'm watching what
he's doing which is amazing Icould be an example.
Besides the 700 Club prayercounselors, I call another
(09:58):
24-hour prayer line and I gotthis counselor and she told me
this story.
We became fast friends, justlike you and I, I don't meet
strangers, actually, so she toldme this story.
She says her son had preventedher from seeing her grandkids
and the reason why he did that.
He grew up a Christian, his momloved the Lord and he became
anti-Jesus.
(10:18):
He became anti-God.
His mom is a conservativeChristian.
He would beat her up overwhatever Trump did or said.
And he came to her one day andsaid mom, you can't see the kids
, grandkids no more as long asyou talk to them about Jesus.
Now, if you agree to not talkto them about Jesus or try to
evangelize them, you can seethem.
Well, the mom said absolutelynot, I will never agree to that.
(10:42):
So you know, you can threatenwith the grandkids.
As long as I see them, as longas they're in my life, I'm going
to talk to them about Jesus.
And I talked to her that dayand it had been a week.
She keeps the kids three days aweek, all day.
She loves the grandkids.
And she was distraught,basically, but prior to that she
had felt in her spirit the Lordsays there's going to be a war,
a battle, in your life, but youmust be, you must stand firm,
(11:11):
you're going to becomevictorious.
And this thought came to mewhen she was talking to me.
I thought about King David.
When King David went out tofight Goliath, saul and all his
mighty men were hiding.
Goliath came out twice a day tocurse God.
And so David, the little boy,shepherd boy.
He goes out there boldly andsteps to Goliath and says that
you know, I'm going to take yourhead off and feed it to the
birds.
And so I told, I said what youand your husband need to do is
(11:34):
you need to go over to yourson's house and your husband
basically need to tell his andyou don't need to talk because
he goes at his mom.
You know, kids fight with theirmom, they don't fight with dad
so much.
And I said you guys just needto be bold, go over there and
say hey, whatever's going onbetween me and you and whatever
has nothing to do with the kids.
I love you, I love the kids.
We need to see the kids.
And I said I'm going to bepraying about it and I'm going
(11:57):
to call the 700 Color PrayerCounselors and we're going to
pray about it.
Well, fast forward.
A few days later, she sent me atext.
She go, mike, you're not goingto believe what happened.
My son texts me.
He called me up and heapologized, said mom, forgive me
, whatever's going on betweenyou and I has nothing to do with
the kids, and I'm bringing thekids over.
This happened in less than twodays.
(12:17):
Wow, the power of prayer.
Ron Meyers (12:19):
You know, mike, I can just see the excitement when
you tell that story.
Right now.
There are people listening that.
Maybe they're thinking, yeah, Iwish prayer worked that easy
for me.
There are a lot of peoplelistening with different things
in their life.
How do they start praying?
Some people don't even know howto begin.
Do they have to go to church?
Do they have to get on theirknees?
Do they have to dance?
(12:40):
What do they have to do?
Mike Holliday (12:41):
Well, they have to be motivated to prayer.
Here's the most motivatingfactor to praying is pain.
Pain will make you pray.
Think about this.
We are going on about our life.
How many times we got this textlike this Sister so-and-so is
in a car accident, she's in ICU,or so-and-so, the pastor's wife
has been in a car accident, orsomebody has stage four cancer.
(13:05):
It's an emergency.
What do we do?
We pray.
Not only do we pray, we start aprayer chain that goes across
the country and nine times outof 10, god, he settles it, take
care of it, and then we go backto our non-praying life.
See, because here's what webelieve, god can handle the big
things, but I can handle thesmall things.
Ron Meyers (13:23):
You know I talk about my conversations or coffee
with Jesus every day and I tellpeople that you aren't really
familiar if they aren't familiarwith church, that prayers have
a conversation with Jesus.
Just open your heart, be honest, be transparent, and you'll be
surprised what you'll startfeeling in your spirit, because
(13:44):
this God that you and I love, heloves the whole world and he
wants his kids to come back tohim.
He's the father that a lot ofhis kids have just kind of
strayed away, but he's sayinghey, the door's open, the front
door's unlocked, the porchlight's on, come on home.
Mike Holliday (13:59):
Yes, I would recommend this to help them to
pray.
I'm retired, so I'm an old guyand I know I need to go back to
the gym and work out.
But I'm inconsistent like mostpeople.
So I got a personal trainer.
So I got this personal trainerand I told him.
I said, look, I want to.
I don't want to get firm, youknow, I'm sort of vain.
I want to be jacked, right, Iwant to be a jacked grandpa.
(14:22):
And so he says OK, and so he'spushing me.
And what surprised me was theamount of strength that I had.
When I go into the gym bymyself, nothing happens.
I'm not consistent, I'm notintense, but with him it's
almost like I had flashbacks,like when I had Afro and I had
like a four pack.
I could never get a six packanyway, but by him being there
(14:44):
with me, because he's intofitness and he's a fit guy, it
pushed me to levels that I neverwould have even imagined, right
, I grew in size, bigger musclesgrew, I became stronger.
I look forward to it.
So what I would say is findsomeone who believes in prayer,
someone who prays more than you,someone who's serious about
prayer, and basically, you know,when we were growing up.
(15:05):
What did our parents tell usabout this?
In a negative way.
I don't want you hanging aroundthat kid because that kid is
bad, that kid ain't no good, hisparents no good.
And we say, oh, that's myfriend.
Well, here's what mom know.
You hang around a kid, you'regoing to become like that kid,
it don't matter what you believe, how good you are.
Well, guess what?
The same thing in prayer.
Ron Meyers (15:21):
If you start hanging around people who pray
listening right now they say Iwant that guy in the air.
I want to get in touch withMike.
You pray with people, don't you?
Yes, sir, I sure do.
I mean, how can they get intouch with you?
Well, they can call me at228-209-5178.
(15:46):
That's your calling in life,mike.
I can tell you're going to bein a big prayer movement on this
coast somehow, somewhere,someday.
I am just blessed to have youin the studios and I know we're
about out of time.
But before we go, one thing Ialways like to ask my guest,
mike.
The title of this show is Getthe Hell Out of your Life.
So how do you get the hell outof your life?
Mike Holliday (16:04):
Well, you call Jesus up on the prayer line and
say Jesus, please get the hellout of my life.
Ron Meyers (16:10):
Mike, will you pray for my listeners?
Mike Holliday (16:13):
Lord.
We just thank you and praiseyou, father, for all the
listeners.
Every listener who's marriedhas spouse problems.
Every listener that has kidshave kid problems and everybody
have a job have the jokers on myjob problems and what we do?
We go to church, we wear a maskat church and we pretend like
everybody's happy andeverybody's got a great family
and a great marriage.
Well, that's not true.
(16:34):
The truth of the matter is wehave problems and, jesus, you
said we have not because we asknot.
So we ask right now, father,that the people hearing in sound
of my voice, the people in pain, that they will call the 700
Club prayer line.
They call just Google 24 hourprayer.
You can get the number and calland talk to a counselor.
(16:54):
The beautiful thing aboutcalling a prayer line.
They don't know your husband,they don't know you, they don't
know your pastor, neither dothey care.
That's not important.
What's important is that thesepeople connect you to Jesus.
It's a vertical, it's like across.
They pray with you to take youto Jesus and then they connect
with you here on earth in thehorizontal, and once you start
to do that, you're going tostart to feel a peace.
(17:15):
Before God answered a prayer,because prayer is a relationship
, and that's what you're doing.
You're developing arelationship with your Heavenly
Father, and you're alsodeveloping a relationship with
everybody here on earth.
So we just ask, father, thatthese people take the initiative
, call the prayer line and beblessed and become addicted to
prayer, just like me.
Call the prayer line and beblessed and become addicted to
(17:36):
prayer, just like me when Ireturn.
Ron Meyers (17:38):
I want to share five ideas to help you develop an
outstanding prayer life withJesus.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're listening to Get the Hell Out of your Life
with your host, ron Myers.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Real stories real struggles and real hope.
You know it may be difficultfor some to believe, but God is
for us and not against us.
He's always watching over usand always listening for us to
come to Him with our requests.
My name is Mark and this is theJourney.
I want to encourage you todaythat if you acknowledge God's
existence, his ear is alwaysturned towards you.
(18:14):
That if you acknowledge God'sexistence, his ear is always
turned towards you.
1 Peter, chapter 3, tells usthat His eyes are upon us and
His ears are open to our prayers.
Unfortunately, many of us getlazy when it comes to prayer, so
we just don't bother.
Maybe we have prayed forsomething in the past and it
never came to fruition and wejust gave up.
But that's actually the wrongattitude.
Jesus told the disciples youhave not because you ask, not
(18:38):
encouraging us to let ourrequests be known to God in
prayer.
In Matthew, chapter 21, jesustells us whatever you ask in
prayer, you will receive if youhave faith.
Now that doesn't mean if youpray for a million dollars,
you're going to get it.
You'll need to check yourmotives behind that one.
In fact, that's an importantpoint Always check your motives
(18:59):
when you're asking God to dosomething for you.
There are more than 100 versesin the Bible that deal directly
with prayer, and the reality isthat you can pray anywhere,
anytime.
Philippians, chapter 4,.
The Apostle Paul reminds us notto be anxious about anything.
Philippians, chapter 4, theApostle Paul reminds us not to
be anxious about anything, butin everything, by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving,let your requests be made known
(19:22):
to God.
A thankful and gratefulattitude, praying in accordance
with God's will and seekingfirst the kingdom of heaven.
A great starting point forseeing your prayers being
answered.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Here's a refreshing word today from Ephesians 5, 17
and 18.
Therefore, do not be unwise butunderstand what the will of the
Lord is, and do not be drunkwith wine in which is
dissipation, but be filled withthe Spirit to start living right
.
Get the hell out of your life.
(20:00):
Get the hell out of your life.
Ron Meyers (20:25):
Welcome back listeners.
Before the break I told youthat I want to help you develop
a communication line with Jesus.
That is just powerful.
Now, when I grew up, I wasnever taught how to pray.
We followed prayers.
I was in a Catholic church andwe were told to do the Our
Father, the Hail Mary, or we didthe rosary, but it meant
nothing to me, I just followedthem.
I didn't feel anything.
When I was done, I just said,oh, I'm supposed to say these,
(20:46):
I'm going to say these and Godwill bless me.
Well, I don't think anythinglike that happened.
And I didn't realize that untilI got older, because one day I
was beginning to just loosen up,chill out with this
Christianity stuff and I justwanted Jesus in my life.
So I began a direct dialoguewith Jesus, just talking to him
like I would talk to you, likeI'm talking to you now.
(21:07):
I shared my heart's desires, myconcerns, things I was scared
about.
I just shared my heart andfriends.
Something absolutely amazinghappened.
There was a connection andyou've heard me talk a lot on
this show about conversationswith Jesus Friends.
It is absolutely liberating.
Now, at first you might kind offeel you know out of place, but
(21:29):
don't.
He created you.
He knows already what you needin your life.
He knows everything about you.
So he wants now to bring youinto the family and have those
dad to son to daughter talks andhelp you discover who he
created you to be.
So I want to share five thingsthat I think will really help
you.
They helped me tremendously indeveloping that awesome
(21:51):
communication line with God.
Number one you've got torecognize your union with Christ
.
You have to know that you arein perfect union with God
through Jesus.
That's right.
When Jesus came into your heart, he took residence there.
This means now you have an openline of communication with God
through Jesus, so you canapproach God with confidence,
(22:13):
knowing that whatever youcommunicate with him is not
going on deaf ears.
Number two you have to embracethe freedom in prayer.
Now there's no specific formulaor a set time required for
prayer.
You can talk to God anytime,anywhere, sharing your thoughts,
concerns and gratitude with him.
Sharing your thoughts, concernsand gratitude with him.
(22:35):
Friends, sometimes I get inthis crazy mode of thinking and
just bouncing things off my headand I just go to Jesus.
I might be in the gym or mowing.
I become so dependent on thatstill quiet voice and he's never
led me wrong.
Period Number three focus onrelationship, not ritual.
Prayer is not about fulfillingan obligation or following a
(22:57):
ritual.
I talked about that a littlebit ago.
No, it is an open, honestrelationship with your heavenly
father.
Let your communication, yourprayers flow naturally from your
heart, just as you would speakto a close friend, and he is
your friend.
Number four be honest and open.
You know God knows your heart,so be honest and open in your
(23:19):
prayer.
Share your joys, your strugglesand desires with him, and also
share your hurts, your fears,your worries, trusting in his
unconditional love and wisdom.
And number five the Holy Spiritis within you, guiding and
helping you in your prayer life,in your communication with
Jesus.
(23:39):
Trust in his presence and allowhim to lead you in your
conversations with God.
Remember prayer is a personaland dynamic conversation with
God.
I mean, if you really thinkabout that, that we get to do
what they could never do in theOld Testament.
We have that intimacy with Godthrough his son Jesus.
(24:01):
So this week, enjoy the freedomand intimacy that comes from
being in Christ.
Share your heart, get somedirection, get those questions
answered, because you haveplaces to go, people to see and
things to do.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Just about everybody prays to God.
Sometimes there's no crime inthat I'm trying to cut down
myself, but most people admit itseems they have a hard time
getting answers to prayers.
That's because we often ignoreGod until we get into a crunch
Excuse me, sir, I've got anemergency and after God bails us
out, we once again go back toignoring Him.
You got your show and I gotmine, and our prayers aren't
specific enough.
Somehow my TV blew up, so I'dappreciate you putting in a new
(24:38):
one.
And eventually our prayer lifeis pretty weak.
Bless you, bless her, bless him, hallelujah.
But God wants to have a realdaily relationship with you.
First you need to get rightwith God.
I thought, after a lifetime ofhedonism, it was time to
rededicate my life.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Call sin exactly what it is it's wrong wrong, wrong,
wrong.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Then begin reading the Bible every day and don't
approach God like he doesn'tlike you.
I'm so sick of this whiningfrom you.
After a week of regular prayer,you'll realize God is not far
away.
He'll be real in your life.
Wow, man, this is sounbelievable.
I can't believe you're here,man, prayer, it works, amen.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Ron, we'll be back in a moment to wrap up today's
conversation.

plans and future to him.
Now back to Ron.

The promoter.
Ron Meyers (00:22):
Hello, my friends, I am so excited about today's
show.
I tell you all the time aboutconversations with Jesus.
I'm going to go a little deeperwith that today.
Basically, prayer communicationwith God through his son, Jesus
.
Friends, when you can reallydiscover the power in prayer,
the power in just that directline of communication, it is a
(00:43):
game changer.
It really is.
You're going to hear a lotabout that from my guest, Mike,
and then I'll go into moredetail in the monologue.
But my guest today, Mike, well,he is a man after God's heart.
He loves to pray for people.
That's the call on his life,Mike.
How did we meet?
I know it was a few years agoover the telephone.
Mike Holliday (01:04):
Yeah, I listened to your show, I was a fan, and I
listened to you interviewpeople every week and I said,
well, ron, what about you?
Ron Meyers (01:12):
What's your background, and that's how we
got started Well and it's been agreat friendship, and I have
followed you and you are a manthat loves Jesus.
Mike Holliday (01:21):
Yes, I do, yes, I do, and it all started when I
got saved and my dad acceptedJesus, back in Miami in like the
early 70s.
So what happened?
Well, my early memories in lifeis my mom and dad fighting,
physically fighting.
I was five years old and mysister was 12.
(01:43):
And they're not yelling,screaming, cussing, they're
actually going at each otherphysically and my 12-year-old
daughter, my 12-year-old sister,is between the two and dad
leaves the house, mom packs herbag I'm five years old, the
youngest of five and she goesoutside.
There's a taxi and I'm crying,said I want to stay with mom and
(02:04):
mom go no, you got to stay withYvonne, your older sister.
I go no, mom, I want to go withyou.
Well, we were not Christians.
So what happened is my mom anddad got a divorce and my mom was
having an affair with an olderman.
My mom was young, attractive,this guy was older, had his own
business, and the plan was theyboth were going to leave their
spouse.
My mom was going to leave herhusband, which she did.
(02:26):
He was supposed to leave hiswife, which he didn't, and mom
moved two blocks away and wewere raised by my dad in the
early 70s and he took you to achurch or had an encounter with
Jesus himself.
Ron Meyers (02:40):
What brought you to Jesus?
Mike Holliday (02:41):
Well, you know, my dad was always a very angry
man and I remember my mom whendad were married, we would look
out the door and see my dadcoming home.
We go, mom, did we do anythingwrong today?
Because my dad was asharecropper from Mississippi, a
hardworking man, but we wereraised in an era where children
should be seen and not heard,and so we would run and hide,
(03:03):
and if dad was in a good mood itwas safe to come out.
If not, then we just stayedhidden.
So my dad raised us and fastforward to age 15.
I'm sitting there talking to mydad and my dad he looks
different, he sounds different.
We have a wonderfulconversation, we're laughing and
talking, which that neverreally happened.
And I said, dad, what happenedto you?
(03:24):
He said I accepted Jesus and wewere heathens.
We didn't go to church.
I didn't know what acceptingJesus meant, but I knew that
Jesus was powerful because hechanged my dad from being Dark
Vader to like being a normalhuman being and we never went to
church and from that point on,after Dad accepted Jesus, we
went to church every Sunday.
Ron Meyers (03:45):
Hallelujah.
Mike Holliday (03:45):
Yes.
Ron Meyers (03:46):
And then didn't you go military, were you military?
Yes, sir.
Mike Holliday (03:50):
I joined the military, did 24 years in the
Air Force, retired at a KeeslerAir Force base.
Ron Meyers (03:55):
And you stayed here.
Mike Holliday (03:56):
And I stayed here after retirement.
Ron Meyers (03:59):
And well, the coast is blessed to have someone like
you here, and you have a passionnow.
Your passion is you like topray, exactly.
Mike Holliday (04:07):
When I joined, when I got out of the military,
I was having a rough time in mylife.
My personal sins, marriagewasn't doing so well and God
told me specifically I needaccountability partner.
So I got accountability partnerand it was a little weird
because I just went, a guy.
I met a Christian assistantpastor, tony Graham.
(04:28):
He's now the chaplain atHarrison County Jail and I asked
him to be my accountabilitypartner.
He agreed to it and for thefirst time in my Christian life
I was able to tell another manabout my sins, about my
struggles in my life, and Ialways said, if I ever was open
and honest with another person,they'd kick me out of the church
, basically.
But the opposite happened.
(04:49):
There's a scripture that saysconfess your faults one to
another, pray for one anotherthat you might be healed.
And that's what happened withme.
I got joy, I got peace, I gotforgiveness.
And then I started meeting withother men as well and I started
to pray.
I'm a member of the 700 Club andI call them all the time and I
noticed that when I pray withthem I have this peace.
(05:10):
It was like instant.
You know, you have the stormsin your life, you have family
problems.
You got outlaw problems I meanin-law problems and then you got
the jokers on my job problems.
They get on my nerve, right,and my kids drive me crazy.
That's life, right.
But I noticed that when I calland it's calm, peace, I describe
(05:32):
it like this when you're on theairplane and the stewardess
come out with the soda andpeanuts and then all of a sudden
it gets a little rocky and shetakes the tray back and the
pilot says and the pilot says,hey, we're, we're encountering
tough weather here.
So he says we're going to getabove the storm.
And that's exactly whathappened.
So you're sitting there, you'relike man, if God get me off
(05:53):
this plane, I'm never going toget on another plane again.
Like, please help me, jesus,everybody getting religious
Right.
And then, I was sure enough,the pastor I mean the pastor
Paul.
It gets above the storm andthen the peanuts come out and
the soda comes out.
Well, that's how it was likewhen I called the 700 Club.
I'm like stressed out, I don'twant to go to work.
I got family problems, I gotthis problems.
But after they pray it's likepeace.
(06:14):
And so I would ask them.
I said, well, what are you guysare doing?
They say well, we just, we praythe scriptures, we pray, we
just quote the scriptures backto the Lord.
Lord, you said if two or threeof us are gathered together in
my name, then you'll do this.
You said ask, you have notbecause you ask not.
So I started to do that withother men and they instantly
(06:36):
felt the peace of God as well,and I have testimonies to that
end.
Ron Meyers (06:41):
And you have really become popular with that.
I know you just spoke at FirstBaptist Church to a group of men
, but there's a hunger out there.
You've told me that you can seein men because men don't seem
to open up to other people.
But God has prepared you forthis time to meet men and just
start talking, or praying.
Mike Holliday (06:59):
Exactly.
God told me to start a men'sgroup and the purpose of a men's
group is to break down thedenominational walls and the
racial walls in the church.
And I do that by talking to menfrom different churches.
Once a month we have a men'sprayer breakfast and literally I
have the guys pray for eachother, because a lot of times
you go to church, you go tochurch with your problems, you
and your wife are not gettingalong, kids not getting along,
(07:29):
and you go to church you praisethe Lord and you come back and
nothing's changed.
And as we pray with each other,form relationships, god answers
prayers.
I'll give you one example.
There's a friend of mine whoowned his own business
multi-million dollar business,fourth generation business and
his dad was suing him becauseafter COVID he was paying his
daddy payments for the businessand so everything shut down
after COVID.
So dad's not getting no money.
After COVID the money goes down.
Dad is upset.
His stepmom influenced dad tosue the son and then the son is
(07:53):
also being sued simultaneouslyby a business partner
multi-million dollar lawsuits.
So his stress level is likelevel nine on a scale of one to
10.
So I would pray with him, justlike the 700 Club Prayer
Counselors pray with me.
And we did this over a coupleof months and I told him.
I said you know what I said.
I had problems with my dadbecause my dad was angry.
(08:15):
I had resentment, but I madepeace with my dad and I said you
need to make peace with yourdad.
I said you need to write yourdad a letter telling your dad
how much you love him, that youenjoyed when he took you to the
ballpark, took you guys tochurch.
Don't say anything negativeabout your dad.
I said, because what's going tohappen is one day you're going
to bury your dad and you'regoing to be standing there,
you're going to be stricken withgrief and you're going to be in
(08:37):
this cocoon of grief and you'vebeen set up by the devil.
So he wrote the letter.
His wife said you're crazy, youbeing set up by the devil.
So he wrote the letter.
His wife said you're crazy,you're going to write your dad a
letter because you guys arefighting.
He wrote his dad a letter and afew months after that I said
well, how do you feel now?
Your stress level?
He says my stress level used tobe constantly at a nine, he
says now I walk around at athree and all that happened was
(09:01):
I prayed with him.
I can't fix.
I always say this to my guys Ican't fix, and it's a simple.
But Jesus says one of thereasons why we don't have answer
to prayer he says you have notbecause you ask not.
What we do is we complain, wegripe, complain, moan to God and
we think that's like praying,that's not prayer.
Ron Meyers (09:19):
You know, one thing I've noticed about you, mike, is
you are a constant learner.
You are always looking andreading and finding more and
more about Jesus, and do youever just kind of, when you're
alone, think, lord, you'vereally done some good things in
helping me in life, haven't you?
Mike Holliday (09:37):
Yes, sir, I do that.
But that's amazing, the thingsthat God has done for me.
But God is doing it otherpeople, amen.
So when I'm praying for otherpeople and I'm watching what
he's doing which is amazing Icould be an example.
Besides the 700 Club prayercounselors, I call another
(09:58):
24-hour prayer line and I gotthis counselor and she told me
this story.
We became fast friends, justlike you and I, I don't meet
strangers, actually, so she toldme this story.
She says her son had preventedher from seeing her grandkids
and the reason why he did that.
He grew up a Christian, his momloved the Lord and he became
anti-Jesus.
(10:18):
He became anti-God.
His mom is a conservativeChristian.
He would beat her up overwhatever Trump did or said.
And he came to her one day andsaid mom, you can't see the kids
, grandkids no more as long asyou talk to them about Jesus.
Now, if you agree to not talkto them about Jesus or try to
evangelize them, you can seethem.
Well, the mom said absolutelynot, I will never agree to that.
(10:42):
So you know, you can threatenwith the grandkids.
As long as I see them, as longas they're in my life, I'm going
to talk to them about Jesus.
And I talked to her that dayand it had been a week.
She keeps the kids three days aweek, all day.
She loves the grandkids.
And she was distraught,basically, but prior to that she
had felt in her spirit the Lordsays there's going to be a war,
a battle, in your life, but youmust be, you must stand firm,
(11:11):
you're going to becomevictorious.
And this thought came to mewhen she was talking to me.
I thought about King David.
When King David went out tofight Goliath, saul and all his
mighty men were hiding.
Goliath came out twice a day tocurse God.
And so David, the little boy,shepherd boy.
He goes out there boldly andsteps to Goliath and says that
you know, I'm going to take yourhead off and feed it to the
birds.
And so I told, I said what youand your husband need to do is
(11:34):
you need to go over to yourson's house and your husband
basically need to tell his andyou don't need to talk because
he goes at his mom.
You know, kids fight with theirmom, they don't fight with dad
so much.
And I said you guys just needto be bold, go over there and
say hey, whatever's going onbetween me and you and whatever
has nothing to do with the kids.
I love you, I love the kids.
We need to see the kids.
And I said I'm going to bepraying about it and I'm going
(11:57):
to call the 700 Color PrayerCounselors and we're going to
pray about it.
Well, fast forward.
A few days later, she sent me atext.
She go, mike, you're not goingto believe what happened.
My son texts me.
He called me up and heapologized, said mom, forgive me
, whatever's going on betweenyou and I has nothing to do with
the kids, and I'm bringing thekids over.
This happened in less than twodays.
(12:17):
Wow, the power of prayer.
Ron Meyers (12:19):
You know, mike, I can just see the excitement when
you tell that story.
Right now.
There are people listening that.
Maybe they're thinking, yeah, Iwish prayer worked that easy
for me.
There are a lot of peoplelistening with different things
in their life.
How do they start praying?
Some people don't even know howto begin.
Do they have to go to church?
Do they have to get on theirknees?
Do they have to dance?
(12:40):
What do they have to do?
Mike Holliday (12:41):
Well, they have to be motivated to prayer.
Here's the most motivatingfactor to praying is pain.
Pain will make you pray.
Think about this.
We are going on about our life.
How many times we got this textlike this Sister so-and-so is
in a car accident, she's in ICU,or so-and-so, the pastor's wife
has been in a car accident, orsomebody has stage four cancer.
(13:05):
It's an emergency.
What do we do?
We pray.
Not only do we pray, we start aprayer chain that goes across
the country and nine times outof 10, god, he settles it, take
care of it, and then we go backto our non-praying life.
See, because here's what webelieve, god can handle the big
things, but I can handle thesmall things.
Ron Meyers (13:23):
You know I talk about my conversations or coffee
with Jesus every day and I tellpeople that you aren't really
familiar if they aren't familiarwith church, that prayers have
a conversation with Jesus.
Just open your heart, be honest, be transparent, and you'll be
surprised what you'll startfeeling in your spirit, because
(13:44):
this God that you and I love, heloves the whole world and he
wants his kids to come back tohim.
He's the father that a lot ofhis kids have just kind of
strayed away, but he's sayinghey, the door's open, the front
door's unlocked, the porchlight's on, come on home.
Mike Holliday (13:59):
Yes, I would recommend this to help them to
pray.
I'm retired, so I'm an old guyand I know I need to go back to
the gym and work out.
But I'm inconsistent like mostpeople.
So I got a personal trainer.
So I got this personal trainerand I told him.
I said, look, I want to.
I don't want to get firm, youknow, I'm sort of vain.
I want to be jacked, right, Iwant to be a jacked grandpa.
(14:22):
And so he says OK, and so he'spushing me.
And what surprised me was theamount of strength that I had.
When I go into the gym bymyself, nothing happens.
I'm not consistent, I'm notintense, but with him it's
almost like I had flashbacks,like when I had Afro and I had
like a four pack.
I could never get a six packanyway, but by him being there
(14:44):
with me, because he's intofitness and he's a fit guy, it
pushed me to levels that I neverwould have even imagined, right
, I grew in size, bigger musclesgrew, I became stronger.
I look forward to it.
So what I would say is findsomeone who believes in prayer,
someone who prays more than you,someone who's serious about
prayer, and basically, you know,when we were growing up.
(15:05):
What did our parents tell usabout this?
In a negative way.
I don't want you hanging aroundthat kid because that kid is
bad, that kid ain't no good, hisparents no good.
And we say, oh, that's myfriend.
Well, here's what mom know.
You hang around a kid, you'regoing to become like that kid,
it don't matter what you believe, how good you are.
Well, guess what?
The same thing in prayer.
Ron Meyers (15:21):
If you start hanging around people who pray
listening right now they say Iwant that guy in the air.
I want to get in touch withMike.
You pray with people, don't you?
Yes, sir, I sure do.
I mean, how can they get intouch with you?
Well, they can call me at228-209-5178.
(15:46):
That's your calling in life,mike.
I can tell you're going to bein a big prayer movement on this
coast somehow, somewhere,someday.
I am just blessed to have youin the studios and I know we're
about out of time.
But before we go, one thing Ialways like to ask my guest,
mike.
The title of this show is Getthe Hell Out of your Life.
So how do you get the hell outof your life?
Mike Holliday (16:04):
Well, you call Jesus up on the prayer line and
say Jesus, please get the hellout of my life.
Ron Meyers (16:10):
Mike, will you pray for my listeners?
Mike Holliday (16:13):
Lord.
We just thank you and praiseyou, father, for all the
listeners.
Every listener who's marriedhas spouse problems.
Every listener that has kidshave kid problems and everybody
have a job have the jokers on myjob problems and what we do?
We go to church, we wear a maskat church and we pretend like
everybody's happy andeverybody's got a great family
and a great marriage.
Well, that's not true.
(16:34):
The truth of the matter is wehave problems and, jesus, you
said we have not because we asknot.
So we ask right now, father,that the people hearing in sound
of my voice, the people in pain, that they will call the 700
Club prayer line.
They call just Google 24 hourprayer.
You can get the number and calland talk to a counselor.
(16:54):
The beautiful thing aboutcalling a prayer line.
They don't know your husband,they don't know you, they don't
know your pastor, neither dothey care.
That's not important.
What's important is that thesepeople connect you to Jesus.
It's a vertical, it's like across.
They pray with you to take youto Jesus and then they connect
with you here on earth in thehorizontal, and once you start
to do that, you're going tostart to feel a peace.
(17:15):
Before God answered a prayer,because prayer is a relationship
, and that's what you're doing.
You're developing arelationship with your Heavenly
Father, and you're alsodeveloping a relationship with
everybody here on earth.
So we just ask, father, thatthese people take the initiative
, call the prayer line and beblessed and become addicted to
prayer, just like me.
Call the prayer line and beblessed and become addicted to
(17:36):
prayer, just like me when Ireturn.
Ron Meyers (17:38):
I want to share five ideas to help you develop an
outstanding prayer life withJesus.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're listening to Get the Hell Out of your Life
with your host, ron Myers.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Real stories real struggles and real hope.
You know it may be difficultfor some to believe, but God is
for us and not against us.
He's always watching over usand always listening for us to
come to Him with our requests.
My name is Mark and this is theJourney.
I want to encourage you todaythat if you acknowledge God's
existence, his ear is alwaysturned towards you.
(18:14):
That if you acknowledge God'sexistence, his ear is always
turned towards you.
1 Peter, chapter 3, tells usthat His eyes are upon us and
His ears are open to our prayers.
Unfortunately, many of us getlazy when it comes to prayer, so
we just don't bother.
Maybe we have prayed forsomething in the past and it
never came to fruition and wejust gave up.
But that's actually the wrongattitude.
Jesus told the disciples youhave not because you ask, not
(18:38):
encouraging us to let ourrequests be known to God in
prayer.
In Matthew, chapter 21, jesustells us whatever you ask in
prayer, you will receive if youhave faith.
Now that doesn't mean if youpray for a million dollars,
you're going to get it.
You'll need to check yourmotives behind that one.
In fact, that's an importantpoint Always check your motives
(18:59):
when you're asking God to dosomething for you.
There are more than 100 versesin the Bible that deal directly
with prayer, and the reality isthat you can pray anywhere,
anytime.
Philippians, chapter 4,.
The Apostle Paul reminds us notto be anxious about anything.
Philippians, chapter 4, theApostle Paul reminds us not to
be anxious about anything, butin everything, by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving,let your requests be made known
(19:22):
to God.
A thankful and gratefulattitude, praying in accordance
with God's will and seekingfirst the kingdom of heaven.
A great starting point forseeing your prayers being
answered.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Here's a refreshing word today from Ephesians 5, 17
and 18.
Therefore, do not be unwise butunderstand what the will of the
Lord is, and do not be drunkwith wine in which is
dissipation, but be filled withthe Spirit to start living right
.
Get the hell out of your life.
(20:00):
Get the hell out of your life.
Ron Meyers (20:25):
Welcome back listeners.
Before the break I told youthat I want to help you develop
a communication line with Jesus.
That is just powerful.
Now, when I grew up, I wasnever taught how to pray.
We followed prayers.
I was in a Catholic church andwe were told to do the Our
Father, the Hail Mary, or we didthe rosary, but it meant
nothing to me, I just followedthem.
I didn't feel anything.
When I was done, I just said,oh, I'm supposed to say these,
(20:46):
I'm going to say these and Godwill bless me.
Well, I don't think anythinglike that happened.
And I didn't realize that untilI got older, because one day I
was beginning to just loosen up,chill out with this
Christianity stuff and I justwanted Jesus in my life.
So I began a direct dialoguewith Jesus, just talking to him
like I would talk to you, likeI'm talking to you now.
(21:07):
I shared my heart's desires, myconcerns, things I was scared
about.
I just shared my heart andfriends.
Something absolutely amazinghappened.
There was a connection andyou've heard me talk a lot on
this show about conversationswith Jesus Friends.
It is absolutely liberating.
Now, at first you might kind offeel you know out of place, but
(21:29):
don't.
He created you.
He knows already what you needin your life.
He knows everything about you.
So he wants now to bring youinto the family and have those
dad to son to daughter talks andhelp you discover who he
created you to be.
So I want to share five thingsthat I think will really help
you.
They helped me tremendously indeveloping that awesome
(21:51):
communication line with God.
Number one you've got torecognize your union with Christ
.
You have to know that you arein perfect union with God
through Jesus.
That's right.
When Jesus came into your heart, he took residence there.
This means now you have an openline of communication with God
through Jesus, so you canapproach God with confidence,
(22:13):
knowing that whatever youcommunicate with him is not
going on deaf ears.
Number two you have to embracethe freedom in prayer.
Now there's no specific formulaor a set time required for
prayer.
You can talk to God anytime,anywhere, sharing your thoughts,
concerns and gratitude with him.
Sharing your thoughts, concernsand gratitude with him.
(22:35):
Friends, sometimes I get inthis crazy mode of thinking and
just bouncing things off my headand I just go to Jesus.
I might be in the gym or mowing.
I become so dependent on thatstill quiet voice and he's never
led me wrong.
Period Number three focus onrelationship, not ritual.
Prayer is not about fulfillingan obligation or following a
(22:57):
ritual.
I talked about that a littlebit ago.
No, it is an open, honestrelationship with your heavenly
father.
Let your communication, yourprayers flow naturally from your
heart, just as you would speakto a close friend, and he is
your friend.
Number four be honest and open.
You know God knows your heart,so be honest and open in your
(23:19):
prayer.
Share your joys, your strugglesand desires with him, and also
share your hurts, your fears,your worries, trusting in his
unconditional love and wisdom.
And number five the Holy Spiritis within you, guiding and
helping you in your prayer life,in your communication with
Jesus.
(23:39):
Trust in his presence and allowhim to lead you in your
conversations with God.
Remember prayer is a personaland dynamic conversation with
God.
I mean, if you really thinkabout that, that we get to do
what they could never do in theOld Testament.
We have that intimacy with Godthrough his son Jesus.
(24:01):
So this week, enjoy the freedomand intimacy that comes from
being in Christ.
Share your heart, get somedirection, get those questions
answered, because you haveplaces to go, people to see and
things to do.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Just about everybody prays to God.
Sometimes there's no crime inthat I'm trying to cut down
myself, but most people admit itseems they have a hard time
getting answers to prayers.
That's because we often ignoreGod until we get into a crunch
Excuse me, sir, I've got anemergency and after God bails us
out, we once again go back toignoring Him.
You got your show and I gotmine, and our prayers aren't
specific enough.
Somehow my TV blew up, so I'dappreciate you putting in a new
(24:38):
one.
And eventually our prayer lifeis pretty weak.
Bless you, bless her, bless him, hallelujah.
But God wants to have a realdaily relationship with you.
First you need to get rightwith God.
I thought, after a lifetime ofhedonism, it was time to
rededicate my life.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Call sin exactly what it is it's wrong wrong, wrong,
wrong.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Then begin reading the Bible every day and don't
approach God like he doesn'tlike you.
I'm so sick of this whiningfrom you.
After a week of regular prayer,you'll realize God is not far
away.
He'll be real in your life.
Wow, man, this is sounbelievable.
I can't believe you're here,man, prayer, it works, amen.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Ron, we'll be back in a moment to wrap up today's
conversation.
We want to encourage you todaywith God's promise to you.
It comes from the book ofJeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11.
For I know the plans I have foryou, declares the Lord.
Plans to prosper you and not toharm you.
Plans to give you hope and thefuture.
(25:37):
That's God's promise to youwhen you choose to commit your
plans and future to him.
Now back to Ron.
Ron Meyers (25:48):
Well, friends, my time is up and I want to remind
you prayer is a game changer.

changes your destiny.
