of positive power double X side.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
So I'm so glad that you are here. Please let
our listeners know who you are and what it is
that you do.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Brother he Man, I am always glad to be here.
I think everybody should should be familiar with me by now.
I've been with Jerryson's Lord Have Mercy shoot thousand and
Oh my goodness, I want to say seven when I

(14:02):
believe I started twenty sixteen, seventeen somewhere in there. But
I am Apostle John E. Ross, creator and host of
the list Talk to the Lord Gospel radio talk show,
which was started right here shortly after being on Facebook

(14:23):
and trying to get some Facebook friends to support me.
And then the Lord said, man, it is time to
take you out into the mainstream. And so before I
knew it, I connected with doctor Jerry Royce and he
picked us up and syndicated us, and before I know it, Man,

(14:45):
we was on man for a while. Then we was
running almost by one hundred or so radio stations worldwide.
And so it is he has been a true bless
into the ministry. And then shortly after beginning the podcast

(15:07):
and the ministry obeying the Lord, the next thing I knew,
I had asked the Lord and rebirth, because my rebirth
was in twenty twelve, I said, Lord, I want to
go back all the way back to nineteen Lord, have mercy,
ninety two and ninety three when I first recorded my

(15:31):
first little tape. You know, that was back when they
had the cassette tapes. Awesome God. And so unfortunately, though
it didn't turn out the best production, it was just
didn't quite go like I had planned it to. So
I said, Lord, I said, I want before you know,
we're going to leave here one of these old days,

(15:52):
I said, well, Lord, before I leave this earth, I
want to be able to go back and re record
for those songs that I recorded way back then. And
God made the way for me to do so. Once
I obeyed him and started let's talk to the Lord

(16:13):
gospel radio talk show and started getting into his word.
Then he began to open up the door. And I
have been recording re recording that music, and which is
bringing me back to you again because the last time
us here, I believe it was awesome. God was just
coming out. Lord, give me another chance. Remember now Thy Creator.

(16:37):
And so now we're back again with the original version
of Remember Now Thy Creator for youth inchoirir versions, because
that's who it was written for in back in Lord
in the late nineties when we recorded that in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

(16:57):
and I did record were a rendition of it in
twenty eight, twenty sixteen. A plan that was and what
happened with that was I was kind of wanting to
test the waters. I said, well, Lord, I want to
record this music. Let's see how it's gonna go. So
I kind of as I was doing the podcast, I

(17:18):
hooked up with Doctor and hooked them with King David
the Vessel hooked them with a new duel. And there
are music producers. They're all singers, they're rap artists. So
we come up with a kind of a hip hoppish
indie version of it just to test the waters and
pretty good. That was pretty It went pretty good, pretty good.

(17:41):
Some things did happen that was unexpected, but the public
liked the music, so that was the most important part.
Then now, let's see, that was back in twenty sixteen,
twenty seventeen, so now it's twenty twenty five. We finally
was able to get to the point where we could
reconnect with doctor Sean D. Scales out of Charlotte, North Carolina,

(18:07):
and then we reconnected with the Praise Enfumble they are
out of Atlanta, Georgia, and we went back and we
got the choir version of Remember Now Thy Creator, And
on March thirty first of twenty twenty five, we released

(18:29):
that out to every digital stores and we've been doing
pretty good ever since.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Praise God. And see, I'm grateful for your testimony, he said.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Listen, we turned that thing out one time, we flipped
it back out another way another time. Every time it
was successful, and I like that. That means the music
is versatile, and you know, we can remix it. We
can change it for the masses. We can reach out
to extra sheep, and that's all we're asking to do.
Be the be the leaders, the servant leaders of those

(19:03):
that are around us, and exemplify the father that we serve.
And so I'm glad you could do that through the
Ministry of Music. And I'm also glad that you came
on here today to let us know that if the
wheel works, you know, why remake it, why rebuild it?
I forget the slogan, but you know what I'm talking
about this one.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
With this one, I thought, well, you know what, I
did not totally forget about how I started, because you know,
that's always important. So you know, I definitely it's on
track number seven, but we definitely had to go back
and get King David the Vessel Doctor the New Duels.
We definitely had to put that track on there as
well because that's how we restarted. But we are kind

(19:48):
of contrasting because everybody was saying, now when you re
record this, we got to do a contrast and compare.
So definitely don't forget the King David the Vessel that
one because they have a little bit of wrap on it.
So we got the wrap version and now I just
did the choir version, so they you know, the request

(20:08):
was to put it all on one EP, and we
did that. And released it on March the thirty first.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh congratulations, thank you, No ferv me at all outside
of the music world.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
How are you, man, black Man Race, How.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Am doing well? I am closing out season ten of
Let's Talk to the Lord, or excuse me, season nine
of Let's Talk to the Lord. I'm closing that out,
and we're winding down to the last two episodes, two
or three episodes, and also currently recording for season ten.

(20:51):
So we're coming back with season ten with brand new
flyers or brand new look. We're coming back with brand
news scripting, and we got some really hot guests that's
coming up for season ten. And I wanted to mention
to you, Jerry, that man, when we start out season ten,

(21:12):
we are going to be in the Baltimore Washington, DC area.
I mean, we have Reverend doctor John Killery who is
from the DC area and these people said they know Jerry.
And then we have Elder Luther Baker, also from the
DC Maryland area, and we have Pastor marsh also from

(21:36):
the DC Maryland area, and they're going to all be
within that first month kicking off season ten of Let's
Talk to the Lord.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Oh what a blessing you all the local talent.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yes, well, people should resonate with they community and support
definitely support.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Where did these ad is come from? Honestly, what makes
you want to do it?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
The Lord when I came back from rebirth back in
twenty twelve, and I had that divine time with the
Lord and basically it was REBUTO had to start all
over again. We went back to the Word of God
in twenty twelve. He told me, the Lord told me

(22:25):
to order a Torah. He said, get you a Torah,
gets you a amplified Bible, gets you a story Bible
alone with the spirit filled King James Bible. And he said,
I want you to start digging into the Word because
the reason why you fell off the first time is
you didn't have foundation of this word and relationship with Christ.

(22:49):
So we started all over again. My first assignment was
to learn the law, and I said law the law books,
and so I went online and I looked it up.
I was like law books in the buck because I
was just kind of found what Holy Spirit was saying.

(23:09):
I was like law books or the law of the Bible.
I forget how word that hit enter and I was
looking at the first couple of articles that came up,
and so I kept reading until I thought I was
focusing on what the Lord was telling me to do.
And when I clicked on the law in the Bible

(23:31):
or the laws of the Bible, I clicked on that
volder and I tell you, by the time I got
through scrolling just to see how long this assignment would be,
I said to myself, and I was like, Lord, there
is no way that I am going to be able
to study all of this law and learned the law

(23:53):
in the Bible, because it was quite a scroll down
that screen.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
You know, we don't believe in Jesus Torah, We're only
representing the Old Testament Torah.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I'm all right, you should learn that law, that Torah law.
And when I did that, it took me nine months
to complete everything that was in what I had clicked
on and saw that I felt like the Lord wanted

(24:27):
me to do. It took me nine months. But at
the end of that nine months, I had such a
revelation in the Word of God that I'd never had before.
And so after that he told me, said, now the
next thing I need you to learn is the fruit
of the Spirit. We want you to understand the fruit

(24:50):
of the spirit relationship with Christ. And once I begin
to because I thought fruit, you know, I thought fruit.
I thought I understood fruit was doing a whole bunch
of stuff, like being fruitful is doing a whole bunch
of stuff and working and keeping really busy for the Lord.
Then I found out that that is not fruit. Fruit

(25:14):
is character fru.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Christ, you know, being fruitful and multiplied this down.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I was just waiting, Fruit is Christ. And the quality
of the fruit is pleasing. That pleasing fruit that's good
and savory for the Lord is Christ. And once you
begin to emulate him and implement him in your character,

(25:51):
then from that, that's when the Lord begins to expand
your territory. And see, I was doing it, trying to
do it, so.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I'm surprised you try to do it back because I'm
surprised because you know how we put people on pedestals,
So you know, I'm surprised that you actually had a
human effect, you know, so, and I'm you're sharing that
with us, you know, because it takes it takes much
to be.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
A good child to our Savior. Okay, it takes a
lot to give him the respect he.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Deserves, and it and it takes a lot out of
us to be humble and to submit and to sit
back and let God order our stuff. Because when He
orders ourselves, he even kind enough to give us a
little glimpse of the future. So we know that we're
pushing in the right direction of that goal that he
set in mind for us. And if we stay on track.
And I don't mean just just just just following a routine.

(26:52):
I'm talking about when those problems come up, when that
forty year mountain comes up, you have to you have
to at the course, because that is that that is.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
There to throw you off. You better be like job.
You better act like job and stick with it.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
And so I'm grateful of the of the reveal, the
quick reveal, and and and and when he takes the path,
and then when you get to see how he lines
it up, you're like, oh, Lord, look at you. Look
at you, Lord, look at you showing off, Look at you.
I'm just catching on to your plan. And I and
I appreciate that you gave me the insight to catch on.

(27:30):
I just I'm just so fascinated by my gud.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I also bought a new Bible.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
I bought the Ethiopian Bible because I wanted to read
the Apocrypha. I wanted to read the books of Jubilee
and everything about Eenoch that they told us we shouldn't read.
And my curiosity came from trying to study the Nephelum.
And so I'm like, give me the forbidden books. I
want to see it if people get to pick and choose.
And then I heard that the King James version was

(27:58):
written by King James, but he also that was one
of his most famous books. But he had an even
more famous book, and that was the Book of it Dead.
And so it's like he's just an author and people
are given us this title high regard. I don't know
if he makes sense of it.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, those books, I have not read all of those.
I've heard of a couple of those, but I have
not read those. But I mean, it's nothing wrong with
going and applying and learning that knowledge of the scriptures.
Of course, we know what got selected for the sixty

(28:36):
six books. That's the foundation. But still there is nothing
wrong with going back and getting some of those other
books and getting the Torah and getting the the There's
another there's another study guide book, the Equities the equities.

(28:57):
There's nothing wrong with going and getting those particular books
and really digging in and getting to the foundation of
the Word. And what's most important is that we keep
Jesus in his in his his his ethnicity. The Lord
birthed him here as a Jewish individual, So we need

(29:21):
to really learn the Word from that perspective, and then
that will keep you in context, and that will keep
you with a good understanding of the word. The problem is,
especially in the Black Church, we want to make him
African American, and he was not African American. He may
have been darker skin because he lived over in that

(29:43):
part of the world while he was here in the earth,
but he was not Black in that regards. He was Jewish.
And so when you take him out of that Jewish culture.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I thought, this is just through my study that because
of his location, although his religion is Jewish, I thought
he was more like a black Arab type of type
of person.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I didn't. I didn't think that Jewish means why.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
No, he was he well and he I would say
the Arab would be maybe like cousins. I guess if
you want to look at it from that perspective, he
was definitely in the Jewish culture, and you definitely want
to study the word from the Jewish culture, because if
you take him out of that, then you're going to
start distorting the word and its meaning. And when you

(30:44):
do that, then that's when we start living by error.
So definitely, you want to go back to the Torah.
You want to go back to the foundation of who
he was born. And then as you study and get
in context and get the come accordiences and understand what
those words mean in Greek and Hebrew, then you be

(31:06):
able to be in contact and understand how to apply
it to our daily lives and walk according to Christ
and not according to the flesh.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Amen. Thank you for that lesson. I'm like, oh that
he wasn't Caucasian.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I know that, right.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
It's funny how we debate over that, like it really matters.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
It's all about being holy and living righteously according to
the words. That is the foundation of relationship with God
through Christ. Not actually to get caught up into culturism,
because that's going to start changing our understanding and perception
of the words. But keep him in context in his

(31:59):
and his culture and learning from his culture, and then
that way you'll have a better understanding of where I
thought it would be just slight differences, But man, that
slight difference. Once I started studying, I was like, man,
it took me to a whole new level, whole new
world that I did not understand at first. But once

(32:24):
I did it the way the Lord said, that's when
he began to leave me by the Holy Spirit. I
met Pastor Libby Greer from Charlotte, North Carolina. She invited
me on to give my rebirth the testimony because this
was coming out of rebirth in July twelfth when all
this started happening to me. And then a year later,

(32:45):
after I gave her that testimony, that's when she called
me back and said, John, do you want to do
a broadcast on my network? And I was like, well, Lord,
I don't know nothing about doing a broadcast. I said, well, Lord,
what is this your will? And he said yes, And
that's I said, what am I going to call this broadcast?

(33:08):
He said, let's talk to the Lord. And I said okay,
I said how am I? And he began to and
I began writing. His Holy Spirit was giving me how
to go about setting the show up and the content
and and the rest became history, and it laid the
foundation to bring me to where I am at this

(33:29):
very moment. There's been a lot of growth over these
last now we're going on thirteen years now, and read.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
What a blessing, What a blessing.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Jury You're giving me opportunity to come on to his
radio station with him, And it was with doctor Doctor Kelly,
and we were doing those weekly Bible studies, and then
Jerry started using me to kind of fill in whenever

(34:08):
he was not available, and so that began grooming me,
and before I knew it, he Jerry would have me
on every Friday and we'd begin breaking down the word
and started growing and growing and growing and growing, and
then let's talk to the Lord started growing. And then

(34:28):
by that time, I had had signed with a radio
station for about a year and we was contracting to
do the shows on the Glory Network and so doing that,
he asked me, he said, want you to lead our
prayer call? And I was like, oh yeah. I was
so nervous. I was like, Lord a Mercy And on

(34:51):
this prayer call it was like doctor so and so
and doctor so, doctor and then here comes to Minister
Ross Truck trying to do my best under this prayer call.
I know, very very intimidated. I was like, Lord Jesus,
I feel so insufficient, but I did the best I could.

(35:15):
And then the next thing, you know, one of the
prophetessa started prophesied. She said, young man, that's leading this
prayer called the lords. And so the next thing I know,
I became apostle John E.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Ra Yes, yes, apostle, Yes claim it.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I didn't even have to claim it. She released that
word from the Lord in the prayer call, and I
received it and began to walk in obedience and accepted
the call to the apostleship. So that's where I've been
operating from uh ever since.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Well, praise God for that.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
You know that He's ordered your steps and brought you
in and now you are a blessing to others. Your
prayer life has blessed others, and we're glad to have
you back with In Vincent's COVID, he was last on
this specific program, and so I'm glad that you're here
but still with the family, still doing great things making
the music.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
But was it always that simple for you?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Like always when God called on you, was you just
like yes, and I will follow on your first command
of me?

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Or did you have to walk around that mountain a
little bit with us that forty years? That's how I
feel about the struggles.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yes, it took a while for me to get comfortable.
I would think to me, I never would have thought
that I would be in almost five hundred episodes for
let's talk to the Lord. We're coming up on five hundred,
and I never thought because I didn't like the way

(37:02):
my voice sounded. For one, yes, then I thought I
sounded like really odd. So I kind of connected myself
with a friend who's a prophet, and he was like
he kept really preaching eloquent, and so I connected myself
and then Lord was like, no, you know, I had
to get confidence. I guess I needed a confidence builder.

(37:24):
And then once I began to just obey the Lord,
I just kept studying. I kept praying, I kept fast
and I kept studying. I said, Lord, I sound really odd.
I sound kind of off, but you know, I still
kept digging in and kept and just one day the
anointing just fell on me. And it's like, you know,

(37:46):
a lot of people kind of I don't look at
myself as a Bible teacher, but a lot of people
put me in that category, and a lot of Bible
Bible teaching kind of radio stations had picked up Let's
talk to the Lord, and so it it. And it
came from building confidence and just continuing to dig into

(38:10):
the scriptures and continuing to stay in obedience and continuing
to seek the Lord until I finally got to that
level where the anointing came. And I mean and it
was exciting. I mean, I was excited. You know, everything
started sounding really good and started flowing really good. As

(38:32):
the topics from the guests started coming in. The Lord
began giving prophetic revelation, he began giving instruction, he began
giving direction, and it just opened up a whole new me.
And so we've just been growing from that point ever since.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Hey man, what a blessing. What a blessing. It was
just that simple.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Huh that it wasn't simple took listen. We started in
twenty twelve. Was the rebirthday, July twelfth, twenty twelve, and
I think I began Let's Talk to the Lord. I
think Pastor Greer said it was in August or September
of twenty sixteen, I believe. So we're talking about thirty

(39:19):
almost four years before we actually launched out into the
deep and begin to broadcast.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Wow, you know that's that's kind of I have a
familiar start with you. You know, whanted some exposure got
linked up with Batman.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
And that's all they wrote.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
You know, we're talking about the podcast, We're talking about
the TV show. We're talking about helping other networks and
other shows grow, and you know, being guests for each
other and supporting one another and going to the awards
and just just all the the projects that we come
up with in this network.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
I'm just very grateful to be a part of it.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
I'm glad you're here too, my brother, and I'm glad
that we all have this connection to our savior.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
I don't I wouldn't want nothing else.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Can you let our listeners know how they can support
you with your projects coming up, how they can sponsor
anything that you have going on, how they can just
catch up with all of your events. If there's a website,
this is your opportunity to plug away.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes, And then I wanted to say we are working
at the somehow I know the Lord is and Jerry
and I had talked about earlier me coming to the Baltimore,
Maryland area. So we got to plan to meet each
other in person one of these old days, and I
need to fly in and say hey to everybody in person.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Amen, let's send it up.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
We have to.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
But if you want to learn more about what is
going on with me, you can go to my website,
which is Let's Talk to the Lord Radio Dot International.
And if you go to Let's Talk to the Lord
Radio Dot International, our radio station that we ended up
starting because of the podcast we started receiving. Normally, we

(41:21):
do two to three songs per episode from the from
the artists, and sometimes if it's somebody who is who
is like a general in the gospel music that's really established,
sometimes we'll do maybe three or four songs during that episode.
But anyway, we started receiving so much music, and we're
talking about almost five hundred episodes, and so it was

(41:42):
just like, Okay, I didn't want to receive the music
and then it's just sitting in my computer. So the
Lord brought me to the idea of starting a radio
station with the music from the podcast. So we have
a radio station, Let's Talk to the Lord Radio International
