[5:19] Amen. I haven't always lived for the Lord. And since I've been living for the Lord, I haven't always done my best. That's right, man. Amen. Amen.

[5:30] But I'm glad that any time I need mercy, all I got to do is ask you. Amen. This might be a little different song you've heard, but if you'll listen to it, I think it hits home with us. Let's sing a little bit of sleep.

[5:48] Let's sing a little bit of sleep. Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me I say Lord Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me and when I mess up and I do wrong please have mercy on me I say Lord Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me I say Lord Lord have mercy Lord please have mercy now here on me please have mercy and when I do somebody else wrong and I will

[6:59] I have mercy on me can I tell you why I need some mercy I'm going to tell you why I used to stay late at night I bust and gamble and drink but one day I found Jesus and I started to thank I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need some and I need someยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยยย

[8:20] So I say yes. So I say yes.

[9:20] So I say yes.

[9:50] So I say yes. Oh, I got to get home by the morning. The clock's changed tonight. So if you don't change it, you'll be an hour late for church tomorrow.

[10:03] And work. How many of y'all believe Jesus is coming back? I know.

[10:16] If I didn't believe it before, I believe it now more than ever. The book of Revelations is coming true right on Sunday. Right on Fox News, the book of Revelations is coming true.

[10:28] Now, I actually think it's closer than any of us realize. I believe it scares some of us if we're really. But we've got to be ready. That's right.

[10:38] If Jesus comes tomorrow to spend some time listening with you.

[10:51] Could you answer all his questions? Would you lie to hide that truth?

[11:05] Could you run the hill with open arms?

[11:18] Or could you even believe you? If Jesus comes tomorrow to spend some time listening with you?

[11:38] Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Listen. If Jesus called your number, could you leave today?

[11:55] Could you lay down your worldly goods? Turn your back to all the way.

[12:12] But it'd take a month of Sundays for you to tell the old of all your sins.

[12:26] If Jesus comes tomorrow to spend some time listening with you.

[12:39] What the hell is that old of all your sins. If that old sky turned black as midnight again.

[12:54] In the middle of the day. And somehow you knew that Jesus would soon be coming your way.

[13:15] Tell me something. Would you run in with open arms? Would you even let him in?

[13:32] If Jesus comes to the heart of the Lord. What can you do?

[13:44] Let's sing it one minute. One day this is what'll happen. If that old sky turns white as midnight again.

[13:57] And somehow you knew that Jesus would soon come in your way.

[14:15] He's coming, say. He's coming, say. Could you run to the end with open arms?

[14:28] Or could you set me to let you know what you mean? If Jesus comes tomorrow.

[14:41] What to do My God If Jesus come to my heart What to do Thank you Lord Lord I don't know what to do next How many of you love Jesus Amen Brother Darryl, Kay, Sanita They were going to come play bass KJ and Yvonne was going to come And all this storming and rain It was bad down home So they all didn't get to come But I wish they had We didn't even have more fun Amen But I'm enjoying myself right now We see Seth coming Amen I'd like to hear Sister Pam come and see

[49:54] I want to see those who are still alive. I want to see those who are still alive.

[50:06] I want to see those who are still alive. I want to see those who are still alive.

[50:18] I want to see those who are still alive. If I never walked upon those streetlights of pure stars.

[50:40] If I never sit beside the crystal sea. If I never see that mansion prepared to be my final home.

[51:02] If I never saw that mansion in the sky. If I never saw that mansion in the sky. If I never saw that mansion in the sky. I want to see those who are still alive.

[51:49] I want to see Jesus cause he died for me. To look into eyes of mercy.

[52:06] I want to see Jesus cause he died for me. I want to see Jesus cause he died for me.

[52:18] That crushed my tears away. I want to thank you for every drop of blood that flows from Calvary.

[52:34] From Calvary. I want to see Jesus cause he died for me. Oh, yeah.

[52:48] We're going to gather around little Sophia here. Sophia don't live in a good home. And the Lord knows. The Lord knows the situation.

[53:00] How old is she? She's five years old. We're going to ask God to move in Sophia's situation. And for the Lord's will to be done.

[53:12] We're going to ask her to come up here and work as a church. We're going to drive back any demon force, devil force, Satan force that's coming against her peace of mind.

[53:24] It's not welcome. And we're going to pray for her family. For them to find the same Jesus that we got in here.

[64:19] But I want to count these calls. It is our life. Jesus is my friend, God I know.

[66:39] Let's all stand up for the word. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, thank you, Lord, for Brother Donnie and all the folks that come with him, Lord.

[66:54] We ask that you bless them on their travels going home. You've blessed them coming here. And we ask, God, that you bless this word that he's about to give tonight. We ask, God, that you bring your holy anointing on every word that's preached out of our Bibles tonight.

[67:05] And that it sinks down into our heart that we don't forget it. That it's not just something that we think about today and gone tomorrow. But we are changed from today forever. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

[67:16] Amen. Amen. You may be seated. You want me to use this microphone, Brother David? Whatever you want. I want to do whatever. I don't want to get in the way.

[67:27] And I want to be respectful and obedient. And mind my manners. God is good. All the time.

[67:41] I got 18,000 things I want to say. I ain't got time to say 18,000 things. But love this service. Love the spirit I felt here. Amen. Love this place.

[67:52] I'll say again. Love this place. Good memories. And I too am glad that my brother and sister took it upon themselves to see that you have a service that you have once a month.

[68:05] That's better than nothing. One's better than zero. But I thank Lord to keep this alive. Because one of my pet peeves.

[68:17] Big deal. But one of my pet peeves. Big deal to me. Is that we're losing the houses of God that believe in the old time Holy Ghost way. That's right. Brother Hinton preached to me once.

[68:27] He preached to me a hundred times. Seek out the old paths. We're in is the good way. And he meant that. And today I've been preaching now for 53 years.

[68:39] That don't make me nothing. But I've not done anything longer than that other than live. Started preaching. I was 17 and I'm 71. And listen.

[68:50] A lot of the churches that I used to go to. And I've been all 38 states. Two foreign countries. That don't make me nothing. I'm not doing it to impress. I'm just saying I've been around. I've been more than just on this block. And a lot of the preachers I used to preach with.

[69:02] And a lot of the churches I used to go to. Sang and shout. And jump and holler. See miracles, signs and wonders. Today they're cold as a tater. Barely lift your head.

[69:13] If you say amen real loud. They'll escort you to the bathroom. If you get up and start speaking in tongues. Shaking your head. They'll get deacons to carry you outside. And put you in one of the side rooms. I tell people in our church.

[69:24] Daystar. If you don't get up and shout and dance. And speak in tongues. I'm going to escort you to the bathroom. I might baptize you while we're in there. And we don't have a seat. And we don't have a bathtub. But I want the old time Holy Ghost way of God.

[69:39] That's what brought us here. It's what God is here. Speaking in tongues. It's not out of style. It's just out of order. And when you got the Holy Ghost.

[69:50] It's like a fire set up in your bones. And it comes up and rises out of you. Some of you say well I got the Holy Ghost. I just don't act on it. No you ain't got the Holy Ghost I got. It will make you talk funny. It will make you act funny.

[70:01] It will make you say funny things. You know what I learned a long time ago. There's no nice way to shout. There's no beautiful way to shout. You just go shaking. Kicking, stomping. Worshiping God. It looks funny. And there ain't no nice way to speak in tongues.

[70:14] Ta-la-ba-ta-la-ba-ba-ta-la-ba. Come on. Come on now. Who tied my bow tie? I'm a huggy. We need places like this that still believe in shouting and dancing and speaking in tongues.

[70:27] And miracles. Y'all still believe in miracles? And signs and wonders. They're not going to be in a church where the power of God's not at. Where the Holy Ghost is not welcome. It is a dead place of a dead letter.

[70:41] And so I'm tickled and happy to see we're losing too many. But that's the way of the world. The devil don't care for us having church. As long as it's a dead church. Our government don't care if we have church.

[70:54] As long as we're not radical. As long as we don't get out of control. See they can't control you. You speak your tongues and shake your hair and believe in miracles. Signs and wonders. But I want to tell y'all this.

[71:06] And y'all know it. God's still moving. He's still blessing the Holy Ghost. I'm tickled to be in a church that still believes in prayer calls. You know they don't believe in that no more. That's right. That's one of them. That's way back.

[71:16] That's old. New Testament. That's way on back. It's not for the modern church. No dead. Death is for the modern church. I'm getting wound up. This ain't going to preach on it. Come on. I'm just.

[71:26] I want you to know I'm tickled. Once a month y'all be tickled to death to come in here. And I come in expecting. I come in not being critical. But I didn't know what to expect. I ain't been here since 2005. But I'm glad that Brother Van left some good seed in here.

[71:39] Amen. I'm glad we still believe in the shouting. I see them prayer calls come out. And that good old anointing on. You'll see things take place. I believe things did tonight. Amen. We laid hands on that young lady right there.

[71:49] I felt something. I said there it is. There it is. Something come. Something's here for us. But don't lose the shout ladies and gentlemen. Don't lose the shout. Don't lose that Holy Ghost. We started our church 26 years ago.

[72:03] I didn't have a finance here. I didn't have anybody backing me up in money. I may be losing weight while I'm preaching. My breech is trying to fall down. And all my bellies overlap. Come on. Somebody said well you're a funny preacher.

[72:14] This is what you did. That's right. Amen. We love it. But we started a church. And I said God. The Lord began to pull me. I wasn't preaching. I couldn't preach. And I left an organization I was in. And I was just being neutral.

[72:26] Some of them call it a sabbatical. That's just a fancy word for it. I wasn't doing nothing for a while. But I was working. Me and my wife was working. And you know trying to keep a home. And I was a courier for an advertising firm. And traveling all over the United States.

[72:37] And boy I had it made. I was making more money than I ever made in my life. And one day I come home. My wife said I had a dream. I said you did. And she was a sinner. She wasn't serving the Lord. And she said I had a dream.

[72:48] I said you did. She said yeah the Lord told me. You're supposed to start preaching again. Start a church. I said oh you have no idea what you're saying. You have no idea. We'll go to church. We'll go to church. I was still going to church.

[72:58] We'll backstay. I was singing and preaching. Helping preach at the chapel. Helping the two or three other little churches. But I was shunned in my responsibility to pastor at that moment. So that loses the image.

[73:09] I ain't got no image to start with. Amen. But her God had come to a lady who was not a Christian. Who'd never been. Her mom would think I had a mom that raised her in church.

[73:21] But here she is. God told her. He didn't come to a heart of me. He said I'm going to start this time. Start a church. Start pastoring again. I said you don't even know what that's putting on you. You don't know what the life of a pastor is like. You have no idea.

[73:31] She said well I'm ready. I said well first thing we've got to go do. We've got to go give our hearts and lives to the Lord completely. You've got to get saved. Begin to tell her about salvation. Amen. She got saved. And anyway.

[73:41] A couple years later the Lord had us start a church. And I thought okay Lord I'll go to Dallas. To Texas. I'll go to. Me and Brother Dave Rich started seven churches in Florida. We started two in Tennessee.

[73:52] I'll go there. I'll go to Wichita Falls, Texas. They've got people wanting me to have a church down there. I've got a congregation of about 50 people begging me to come down there and preach. And I said we've got down the road one day.

[74:02] I'm just going to follow the Holy Ghost. If I don't read my notes and preach on that we don't care a bit. We'll save it for next time. If y'all dare have me back. After I get in a day you may say whatever you do Brother Seth don't invite that crazy man back again.

[74:16] But I want to tell you something. You think you want things the way you want to have it. But God's going to do things the way he wants to have it. So me and my wife. I'm thinking Florida. I'm thinking Texas.

[74:26] I'm thinking anywhere but not home. A prophet's not without honor save in his own country. See they remember me when I was younger. In my wild days. I said anywhere but here.

[74:38] So me and my wife. Please match. Go Kentucky. You won't know but one or two of you might. And we're headed to Livermore. And I'm going down Highway 254 Brown Road. And I come across this little. Now I'll tell you some weird things.

[74:48] How far you want to go with me? Come on. And we passed this little red brick church. Sitting out in the country in the middle of nowhere by itself. And when I went by there the Lord said turn around. I mean just spoke it in my mind.

[75:01] And my wife. I turned a little turn. She said that church was empty. I thought yeah but it ain't where I want it to be. It's over in McLean County. Nothing wrong with McLean County. But I want it away from where I'm from.

[75:12] There are plenty of churches in McLean County. Lord of goodness. You couldn't beat some of the churches in McLean. I used to go there. I know. But I turned around and went back and I pulled in the driveway. And my wife said go knock on the door.

[75:25] I said well ain't nobody here. Ain't no car. She said well go see if the door's open. And she was really. She done got saved. Now she's on fire and she's pushing it. So I go up to the door of this church. And I was listening.

[75:39] And I heard this. And you just go with me all the way. Or just pray for me. I thought my mind ain't.

[75:50] My mind ain't. I thought they're having prayer meeting. I know that sound. I know intercession. I've been raised up on this. Hello.

[76:01] Not real loud. Not real loud. I turned around and my wife. I said there are people in here. She said there ain't no cars. I said I bet they're parked around back. So I walk around the back of this church.

[76:13] I mean I don't even know who's supposed to be on the property. And I walk around the back of the church Connie. And there ain't no vehicles. And then coach you'll start going up down my back. And I went back to the front of that door. And I laid my hands on the door of that little building. And I said father you're trying to speak to me.

[76:25] And I know I'm hard headed. But I'm hearing something. I know I ain't losing my mind. And I said what am I hearing? And the father said this is the cry of the bride seed. That's wanting to grow up from their dead places.

[76:38] This is the bride that I'm going to send you over to reach. He said if you'll answer the call. This is the place you're going to start. I went up to my wife and said we've got to find out who owns this building.

[76:49] I'm talking about God. Don't forget where I was wanting to go. I couldn't have been farther away from what God was wanting. I'm glad he's the boss. I'm glad he's the owner. I'm glad he's the master.

[77:02] I said we've got to find out who owns this building. So I went up and said how am I going to find this building? So I'm going to call my Aunt Martine. Aunt Martine he is. I said Aunt Martine is a church. She said that's Stringtown Pentecostal Church.

[77:13] Don't you know where that is? I've never seen it before in my life. She said me and Uncle Wesley used to hold revivals there. One of the most Holy Ghost filled places you've ever seen in your life. So God said ding.

[77:24] There's the place for you. So I called Brother Hinton. I said Brother Hinton listen I've got a problem. I said God's called me to start a church. He said you're listening hard-handed about time. And I said Brother Hinton it's over here outside of Sacramento.

[77:36] He said it don't matter. I said Brother Hinton I'm in the same county here. He said God's got enough people who need to be saved. I loved it. There's no more like that no more. He said you start where God told you to start.

[77:50] He said you want to know something interesting about that little church? I want to show you all these things. Put this together. Watch what God does if you just shut up and get out of his way. So my Aunt Martine says her and Uncle Wesley used to hold revivals there all the time. I'm in on that.

[78:01] Brother Hinton said that's where I first got the Holy Ghost. He said I was in the revival and they prayed for me and I started speaking in tongues. I got the Holy Ghost in that church. He said do you know who used to go to that church and put all the speakers in there?

[78:14] There's house speakers. He said the Hinton family that's where they went to church. Jenny and Ronnie Hinton they put all the sound system in that church. I'm liking it better than ever a minute. So a couple days later I thought I'm going to call my cousin Dave Rich and tell him I'm thinking about striking out and starting a church.

[78:29] I helped him start six or seven in Florida and two or three in Tennessee. And I called and said Brother Dave I drove and I told him this whole story. And he's sitting there going. He was speaking in tongues more than he spoke in English.

[78:40] And I said Brother it's called Stringtown Pentecostal Church. He said you want to hear your story? I said yeah. He said the first revival I ever preached when I left RCA Victor Records and left the Grand Ole Opry was at Stringtown Pentecostal Church.

[78:53] I said okay God I hear you. I hear you. Woo! Y'all listen. Now y'all sitting there like it happens to you every time. All the time. Not one thing. Four things. Just boom boom boom boom boom boom.

[79:04] And me hearing them people pray. And I knew God said start a church. So I began to pray and I said God I don't want to get in nobody's way. I don't want you to be bothering anybody. But if I'm going to start a church I want to be sincere. And I made a deal with the Lord that I would keep a hold of the old ways and follow the old paths.

[79:19] And we'd speak in tongues and we'd shout. Bobby pins will still fly. People will still roll in the floor. And if God would do the miracles we'd follow. And I want you to know that God 26 years later today we're about to celebrate our 26 year anniversary.

[79:33] God's doing miracles and signs and wonders. And God's moving because we've kept that old kind Holy Ghost fire burning. And it's real. I can tell you's tough to find them tears going down the eyes.

[79:45] It's real. And I don't need a sign to follow God. Babies need signs. But I love seeing signs. So you've got to walk out. Just be level.

[79:55] You've got to be leveled out. You've got to be balanced. You know that God's great. I'm going to just preach everything. God's a balanced guy. He's called the just judge. It means his scales are balanced. Amen.

[80:06] If you're following you won't be left or right going crazy. This world's gone crazy. But anyway I'll go on. My God we had a drunk alcoholic man. He'd spent a million dollars in alcohol.

[80:18] He had spent a million dollars of inheritance drinking for seven years in a row. Drunk every day of his life. Brother Mike Wilkerson came into our church. A friend in our church invited him. And I was up there preaching an anointing of the Holy Ghost.

[80:30] An old time power of God. And all of a sudden that he well dressed gentleman. Hair stick back look like a movie star. And he got up out of that seat and he started doing like this. And coming up to the front of the church. And I walked down and said what do you need brother?

[80:41] He said I don't know. I don't know. I don't go to church. But something's on me. He said something's pulling me up front. He said I've been an alcoholic for seven years. And I've spent over a million dollars of my inheritance drinking my life away.

[80:53] He said but I've come to church this morning. He said I feel funny all over. I said brother the Holy Ghost is all over you. God's moving on you.

[81:03] He said what I got to do. I said kneel down here with me. And let's get saved. And he repeated the sinner's prayer. And he stood up. And I said boy. And he began to speak in tongues. I mean just right like that.

[81:15] Hallelujah. Y'all listening. Y'all say amen every once in a while. Hold me out or belt or something. So I know you're listening. He said brother Neil. The reason I come to church this morning.

[81:28] The doctors have found me eat up with cancer. He said it's cancer all over my body. It was in five or six different masses in different places. They've not given me long to live. He said my cancer reading.

[81:39] I won't get this right if any of y'all is a nurse. But you might can correct me. Now I've heard of people who had 0.2. Or the reading was 0.6. It was bad. He said my cancer reading is 26.0.

[81:52] I said I've never heard of such a number. He said the doctor said one of the highest he'd ever heard. He said it's rampant. Stage four rampant cancer. I'm just crazy y'all. I'm just crazy enough to believe in God.

[82:03] I'm nobody. I ain't making me think. Boy this guy. I'm just crazy enough. I've been raised up in it. I was raised up in it. I said do you believe God can. He just got saved. He's barely just got nothing speaking.

[82:14] I said do you believe God can heal you? He said yes I do. I said in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I rebuke this cancer. I curse it. And I speak unto you words of life. I say rise and live.

[82:25] Rise and live in the name of Jesus. And he started shouting and dancing. Put some of us to shame. And fell out the floor. Y'all ain't listening to me. Y'all still trying to get used to this. Is this really me talking or some kind of a show?

[82:37] This is it. I said brother Mike when do you go back to the doctor? He said I go next week to Mattisville Hospital. They're going to put me in that machine and test. And they're going to tell me exactly how many days I got.

[82:49] There's no options. No chemo. No radiation. It's nothing passed on. Y'all understand this? He said what do I do? I said you walk in and off with your head held high. Tell that doctor I want you to check me from head to toe.

[83:02] Mike Wilkerson went to the Mattisville Hospital. A little seven days later. They put him in that machine and stud him up in that barrel. And they combed him from his head to his toe. He came back that Sunday morning and walked in the door shouting.

[83:13] And kicking chairs. He said brother Donnie they checked in Mattisville. And the doctor called me in his office scratching his head. And he pulled out x-rays and said this is your x-ray. Here's the cancer. Here's the cancer.

[83:24] Here's the cancer. He said Mike we just did that extensive scan on you. And I can't find a cancer in you anywhere. I can't see it. I can't see it. It's not a cancer in you anywhere.

[83:35] Hallelujah. Y'all ain't this is me. Y'all ain't this is me. So they did one of them tests. And he was 26.0. It came back 00.1. So you know what the doctors is.

[83:50] Them doctors they want you sick. They want you sick. Now I'm not against medicine. Brother Henry used to say if you get a headache say a prayer and take an aspirin. Ain't that good. Ain't that good.

[84:02] Ain't nothing wrong with that. We live in a day where they used to put leeches on you. Some blood out of you and stuff like that. At least now we got modern medicine. He said the doctor said we're afraid something's wrong with our machine.

[84:13] So we want you to go to Vanderbilt. They got this super duper. They didn't talk like that. I'll say it. We'll understand. We got this souped up machine. It can find anything.

[84:24] I said well they're wanting to find something. He said brother Neil what I do. Just got saved. Just got the Holy Ghost. Just shouted it the first time. I'm talking about 20 years in the Holy Ghost.

[84:37] I'm talking about a brand new Christian. Brand new drunk. Just alcoholic. And he just got saved. He said what do I do? He said I ain't going to Vanderbilt. I said no no no. Go.

[84:48] Because when God does something. It'll bear inspections. When God does something. You put it under the microscope. That's God we're talking about. Now I'm going to lead each other. I'm serving with this. He said alright I'm going to go.

[84:58] If you're sick. I said go down there and tell them. Just scan you from toenail to hair tip. And check it out. And he went down there and got that super duper turbo charge machine. And Vanderbilt's got. Bless God.

[85:08] They'll find the kids. No cancer. And his reading came back. Zero point zero. No cancer in his body. That man came to our church. And shouted. And got in with God.

[85:19] He gave his life to God. He stayed with us. How many years? Eight or ten years honey. And he died. He died later on with a heart condition. But he lived ten years absolutely cancer free. That's what God would do.

[85:29] If we'll just still believe. In old time. Holy Ghost power. Now that's dying. That's dying in this world. It's not. You won't draw in the attorneys and the doctors.

[85:41] If you speak in tongues. Let people shout. But if we just calm down. I know for a fact. The church I've got going right now. Thriving. Striving. Growing church. Fast. Going on for God. But if I tone that music down a little bit.

[85:51] If I get rid of them eight piece band. If I stop that shouting at tongues. I'd have 800 people. I have no doubt. We can fill it up. I got a band as good as anything at the Grand Ole Opry. We got some good music and everything.

[86:03] If I could just kind of tone it down. Maybe if I was a real smart preacher. I'd put our shouters over in the side. And let them shout. And go in and shout. And go in and. You know what some people do now. Speaking in tongues. They say put your hand on your mouth.

[86:14] Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I ain't ashamed of it. How about you? Amen. Amen. How about you? Amen. I ain't ashamed of it. I want to preach just for a minute to y'all.

[86:25] And I'm not here to. Boy. My mind's going everywhere. Is that okay? Hallelujah. Brother David Rich used to say. I feel like preaching a shotgun message. Just shoot it. Let it go out there. But I feel like God gave me this to speak up here.

[86:38] And I thought. Lord. That's kind of rough. And I don't get processed. Well. I'm not here to rebuke anybody. I'm not here to reprove anybody. But you understand that the Bible said. This is a two-edged sword. That rightly divides and cuts us under.

[86:51] So it may cut on you. If you do. Just say oh me out or something. But God told me to come and tell you in this church. Do not fear.

[87:03] Do not fear. Can I preach to you just for a moment? Yes. In 1933 America was facing some of the darkest days in their entire history. America was in the midst of a great depression.

[87:16] There was high rates of unemployment. Poverty was sweeping across the country. Drastic reductions. And people were literally starving to death. Every day out in the streets. Babies had no milk to drink.

[87:27] Men stood in the streets begging for work for only pennies an hour. Many people thought this would certainly be the end of this great nation. And plunge us all into tragic death. You ever heard of it?

[87:38] You ever heard of the great depression? Then on March of 1933. March the 4th. America just elected a brand new president. His name was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

[87:50] Now I don't remember this. I wasn't born yet. But I know I read it in the history book. And in his inaugural speech. He spoke these famous words that began a revolution. That changed the hearts.

[88:00] And caused new hope to spring up among Americans. He said the only thing we have to fear. Is fear itself. Just a few words.

[88:12] What happened? I always tell my church this. Words matter. At first they were only words. But those words sparked hope. And then hope sparked a new vision. And then that new vision sparked a change.

[88:24] One man with a few words literally saved the United States of America. How much more then should the words of the Lord God Almighty change us in our hearts. And change our church.

[88:36] And change our walk with God. And God says for us not to fear. But saints we all in this church know. Now some of us are shouting. Some of us speaking in tongues. And I'm going to tell you.

[88:46] Preacher man standing right here. So I'm not just up here blasting you. We live with too much fear. When we serve a God like we're supposed to be believing in. We live in too much fear. We have too much fear in our lives.

[88:58] For our family. And our jobs. And our things. We will not have that kind of fear if we really believe. Y'all believe you're serving God? Come on. Y'all got me real quiet over here.

[89:09] Do you love God? Do you try to serve God the best you can? Then bless God. Why are we living in so much fear? Come on Riverside. I preached this.

[89:19] I preached this on November 23rd at my church. Busted their hides. And I got ready to come up here. And I was looking for something to preach. And God said go up here and tell them don't fear. Don't fear.

[89:30] God knows exactly why he had Seth in him start this. And God knows exactly where this is going to go. And God knows exactly what he's going to do. If we just shake off a little bit of that worldly fear. And just hold on.

[89:41] I don't believe y'all started again just to meet once a month. I believe something's coming. I believe something. Some of you old-timers come on and praise God with me.

[89:52] I believe something's coming. I believe something's coming for this house. For this place right here. I believe something is about to happen. If you believe it, you shout it to the Lord.

[90:05] Woo! Somebody say I believe. I believe. Somebody say I believe. I believe. You know what just comes to my mind? I come up here preaching a revival for Ben and Pat.

[90:18] There wasn't a whole lot more people that's here right now. Y'all won't believe me. Some of y'all's here. He was here. If you know what I'm about to say. Sister Pat come up west and I said she's funny. Sister Pat. She just said things. Yeah.

[90:29] Not like you. She ain't got no filth, but she just said things. Yeah. And she come over. I run over here. She said, Brother Donnie. We need some work done on this church. We need about four or five thousand dollars.

[90:41] And we ain't got it. She said, you've worked with Brother Dave Ridge. Brother Dave Ridge could get mice to give. Brother Dave Ridge started preaching, taking up an offering, and Billy Goats would come out and give it. I'm being facetious.

[90:51] But I mean, it was. And Brother Dave always told us to just believe. It ain't the people's money. It's God's money. You know God's little. And I said, Pat said, get up there and get us an offering. Well, okay, Sister Pat.

[91:03] Okay. 21 people here. Any of you remember that night? Your mama gave. I stood right here. I come up here and we started praying.

[91:14] The power of the Holy Ghost began to fall. And I said, bless God, I'm about to say something. It's going to make every one of you lose your gizzard. You're going to think I've lost my mind. I said, somebody lock the front door because somebody's going to try to escape. I said, we're going to take up $4,000 right here in this little room.

[91:28] If you'll have faith to believe it. If you ain't got it. I said, pledge it anyway. And God will bring it to you. And ladies and gentlemen, I stood here for about 10 minutes. We took out $4,600 just in that little bit of time.

[91:40] God gave. And we still don't know where it comes from. Wow. That's a damn clap right there. I'm not talking about you need to get more perfect.

[91:51] I ain't talking about you need to get more holy. That'd be good. You need to get rid of this worldly, earthly fear that's gripping us today. Well, our church is small.

[92:01] We got this need. We got that need. And I don't know if we'll get people to come. And I don't know what's going to happen. God's got it if you're just trusting. You got to trust him, saints. Don't trust in what Seth can do. And I love this young man.

[92:12] Fine. And don't trust what Sister Ravonna, Brother Dave. Hey, don't trust what you can do. Trust what God can do. Come on now. I'm serving a God that made donkeys talk and axe heads talk.

[92:26] He can do anything. Y'all ain't listening to me. When I was a little kid, got my first Bible. I'm still on the same sermon. I loved it.

[92:36] I got a Bible that somebody had to put Church of God, Brother Ford and Sister Ford. They got me my first little Bible. Said, Brother Donnie, you have watched a prayer. Carried it to school. Went to Aaron's Trade High School.

[92:47] Used to be uptown. Carried my Bible. I'm proud of it. I wasn't trying to be so holy. I'm just proud of it. I had my Bible for it. Somebody steal it. And I opened that Bible up one day to scan through.

[92:58] You know, it don't work every time. Some people say, when I seek the Word of God for a sermon, I just open my Bible. Well, I've tried that a few times. I come to Methuselah, Begat, Begat, Begat, Sukavaka, and Sukawaka, and them names that are.

[93:11] And that's where I end up. We're in a Chronicle somewhere. So I quit doing that. But on that time, I opened my Bible. And I can say it's the first scripture I ever memorized in my life.

[93:21] It's the first scripture that jumped out of the Bible and came at me. Was Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10. Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10. I was a little 10, 11-year-old boy.

[93:34] Loved the Lord. Like I said, I went to church. But I opened that Bible up and them words jumped out and it ran. You know what it says? Fear thou not. For I am with thee. Be not dismayed.

[93:47] It means discouraged. For I am your God. I will strengthen thee. I will help thee. And I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Little did I know that that was the scripture that was going to stay with me the rest of my life.

[94:00] And when I started the church, I pastored out 26 years ago. That's the scripture I built the church on. And when I come up here tonight to preach to you, that's the scripture God told me to go to. Fear thou not, brothers and sisters.

[94:12] God's got everything under control. Let this crazy world fall apart. Let men think they can be women. And women, I'm sorry. Let women think they can be men. Let the government pay for them to have sex.

[94:23] They're all losing their minds. They're a bunch of lunatics. They're a bunch of demon-possessed, demon-influenced people. But I'm going to come two and a half hour drive in a pouring down thunderstorm.

[94:34] We had tornado warnings down our way when I went up. Tornado watch when I left. And I drove up for you. You know why? Because I don't fear. I'm going to serve God. I'm going to do what God told me to do. I don't fear the trip, the storms.

[94:46] God, listen. I know you are. It's a saying I use. Somebody said, bless God. I even had you 20 times. You still don't think I've listened to it. I don't think I've listened to it.

[94:57] I need to write you. I need to write you. Let me slow down for a minute. Do you understand this is the prophet Isaiah? Literally quoting the words that Jehovah God spoke to him. Should we believe the words that the Father says?

[95:11] What did the Father say? Don't be afraid. I am your God. Don't be discouraged. I am with thee.

[95:22] Saints, we don't live like that. We don't live like that. We should. I'm not rebuking you. I'm just helping you. Listen, God, burn my heart with it. You got to trust God.

[95:35] We started our little church. Didn't have no money. I didn't have no financial backers. I didn't have any members. I started our church on Sundays at 2 o'clock. So people from other churches, I thought when they get out, they'll come to business and help me get started.

[95:47] 26 years later. 26 years later, I ain't got time to go through. Today, we own 1.4 acres. We got a 50 by 60 fellowship hall and an office rest group.

[95:58] We got a 50 by 50 fellowship hall and a 50 by 60 church sitting on 1.4 acres on Highway 175. And we got $26,000 worth of electronic and musical equipment on the platform.

[96:08] And we don't owe one red shit to nobody. We never paid a bill. We never loaned money from a bank. God started giving us the money. God started giving us people that sent us $10,000 check, $5,000 check.

[96:21] People I never knew. People I never met. Sent money. They heard we were trying to build a church. I saw one lady, one lady gave us $10,000. And I saw, I'll go and thank her. She died a month later before I could get to her. I went and thanked her.

[96:32] Huh? My wife went and thanked her. Thank you, honey. I didn't mean to exclude you. I was telling her what I didn't get to do. She's like E.F. Hutton. When she speaks, I listen. Are y'all with me?

[96:44] It was a miracle. It was amazing. And I'll tell you something greater than that. Now, I talk fun now. Don't get mad. Don't get mad at Brother Seth. They didn't know how I was going to act when I got here. Don't get mad at Brother David. And they just asked me to come.

[96:56] Amen. Y'all can give them little notes about whether they had me back or not. Two lesbian ladies moved from Lexington. Moved in our area and came to our church.

[97:10] We welcome everybody. But I believe you catch the fish and let God clean them. But if God don't clean them after a while, you ain't doing nothing. They start coming to church.

[97:20] I love this church. You're trying to build this church. And they came to me. Listen to me. I ain't trying to impress you with me. I'm impressing you that when you believe God, get crazy like I didn't start believing God and quit being afraid. They said, we want to become a member of your church.

[97:33] I said, let me come and talk to you. Somebody said, boy, I don't want you to be my pastor. Good. My church may not want me to be their pastor sometimes, but they're stuck with me. Trying to think of how state it is.

[97:46] I might as well just go ahead and say it. So we went to their home and I took my Bible. And I said, I'm going to tell you all something. I love both of y'all. Love you dearly. You've got great, sweet spirits. And you're welcome to our church. But I said, you've got to understand something.

[97:56] I don't believe in your lifestyle. I believe the Bible says it's wrong. But I don't hate you. And I said, but I want to show you in the Bible. Have you ever sought the word of God? They said, no. And my wife sat there and meticulously we went through the Bible and showed.

[98:08] I didn't preach at them. I showed them every scripture. Every scripture that shows it's wrong. That a man shall not lay with a woman as with a man. And lay with a woman as with a man. Yeah. And you know the scripture.

[98:18] And I began at that time I had it all laid out. And showing each and every one of them. And I said, listen, you can come to our church. You can be members of our church. But there ain't going to be no holding hands. Ain't going to be none of that kissing going on. I got kids watching.

[98:29] And you're influencing kids. I said, look at. I said, but you come and I believe in time. The Holy Ghost will change you. They said, we accept that. So then I went back to my church. And I said, don't you be judging.

[98:40] Let God work on them. God ain't going to strike the church with fire. Because we're giving somebody an opportunity to find their way. I was short in the story. They did find their way. They both left each other. One of them married a man.

[98:52] And has a natural living life today with a husband. But before they left the church. One went to Wyoming. And married one of the newscasters on Fox News.

[99:04] Are you there? The other one got her a husband. They run an antique shop. Antique business. But before they left the church. That one day. They come to me. They wasn't mad. We left on good terms. They said, Brother Neil. We'd like to meet you and your wife at the Tumbleweed restaurant over in Madisonville.

[99:18] Steakhouse. She said, I'm paying. I said, okay. And we went and sat down. Boy, they had a big steak dinner. And they just bought us that. I eat like a pig. You know, I was eating like a man on death row. And when we got on.

[99:29] She said, now. I'd like to speak to you. About why we want to meet you today. And she pulled out one envelope. Like this. And slid it across the table to my wife. And she took out the other envelope.

[99:41] And slid it across the table right in front of me. And my wife opened her check. And it said $19,200. I opened my little check.

[99:52] And it said $102,000. She said, I got a settlement. Before I leave the church, I'm going to bless the church. Because you showed us God. You showed us the truth. And I slid it right back across the table to them.

[100:04] Y'all ain't listening to me, Brother Donnie. Some of y'all wondering if this man is telling you the truth. I slid both them checks. How much is that? 102 and 19. It's $121,000. I went.

[100:15] She said, what are you doing? I said, I'm not going to accept it until you know. Let's talk here. You know that your lifestyle was wrong. Yes, Brother Donnie. And I said, you know, God brought you out of it. Yes, Brother Donnie. I said, this don't bag you anything with me or Daystar.

[100:28] She said, I know that, Brother Donnie. That's my appreciation offering. That you were so kind to us and showed us Jesus. In the lifestyle we was living in. She slid them checks back across. I said, we're going to build us a church.

[100:39] And we built that church. Like I said, don't owe a penny to nobody. God used those two ladies in their sinful lifestyle. He brought them out of it. Are y'all listening to me? Yes, Brother. And I'm ashamed to tell you there were many nights that I stood in fear.

[100:53] What am I going to do? I got a congregation. We went to 50. Then we went to 60. We went to 70. I didn't have a church built yet. We was meeting in the Millport Community Center. That Stringtown Pentecostal Church. We met in a storefront in Central City.

[101:05] I said, we're going to name our church the Bowieville Church. We're looking for a home. We was meeting anywhere. I thought people are going to get tired. The more we change places, the more and more people come. Wow. We had 100 one Sunday.

[101:16] I said, if next week in Millport Community Center, I said, if we have over 100, I'm going to preach from the roof. We had 122. I stood up on the roof and I preached the shortest sermon I've ever preached in my life. Come on.

[101:27] It's okay. Laughing house. God has some fun. Yeah, I preached real. Jesus wept and got out of there. Then the next Sunday was 123 and then 126.

[101:38] Our record attendance has been 179. Amen. I'm telling you. God will do it. And the whole time God was there for me and said, quit fearing. Do not fear.

[101:49] I am thy God. Do not be afraid. I am with thee. And I'm here to speak this simple little message to you tonight. All of you here in this church. All of you, if you're visitors listening tonight, don't fear.

[102:01] If you really serve the God that you say you serve and you know how big and powerful he is, quit worrying about your flesh. Quit worrying about your faith. Quit worrying about your mind.

[102:11] Trust in God. Somebody shout right there. Woo. God said, if you really believe I am with you, don't be afraid.

[102:23] If you really believe that I'm your God, don't be discouraged. That's what dismay means. And I've been discouraged. And I've had fear. But I ask God to forgive me every time.

[102:35] When I go back and remember that chick from those two precious ladies. Other churches that preached them right out the door wouldn't give them the time of day. Now we don't allow sin in our church to be wrong. But we allow to love them and give them time to change.

[102:48] And they did. Are you there? Yeah. Amen. Romans 8.31. I'm about done. Romans 8.31 says this.

[103:00] If God be for us, who can be against us? Now I heard a lot of amens. I think y'all probably heard that. Y'all believe that. Amen. Y'all believe that? Come on, I'm going to catch you now.

[103:11] I'm going to catch you in a trap here. If God be for us, who can be against us? Well, I've got a problem with that. Everybody can be against you. Your family can be against you.

[103:22] Your boss can be against you. Your co-workers can be against you. People out in public can be against you. So why did God say, if God be for us, who can be against us? And again, I say, everybody can.

[103:34] I feel like I've lived half of my ministry with everybody against us. When we started our little church, remember, there was a couple of churches in our area. Not Liverpool, thank God. There was a couple of churches in the area.

[103:44] I heard I was starting a church down there. And they said, we're going on a fast. We're praying and fasting that you won't be successful. We started running 50. I'm having 2 o'clock on Sunday. 60, 70, 80.

[103:55] I finally said word to them. Somebody come there and tell them their church. I said, go back and tell them, keep on fasting. Keep on fasting. Don't stop. They finally gave up and quit. Am I making sense, brother?

[104:09] If God be for us, who can be against us? I'm telling you, everybody's against us at times. But I looked it up this evening. And that word against in the Greek is kath.

[104:21] K-A-T-H. K-A-T-H. K-A-T-H. And it means this. Listen. Now read the scripture. If God be for us, who can prevail against us? Whole new meaning.

[104:32] If God be for us, who can win against us? If God be for us, who can overcome against us? And when it comes to that understanding, I say nobody.

[104:42] I serve a God who's omnipotent, omnipresent. Woo, y'all ain't this to me. Amen. Omniscient. He's the almighty God. He created everything, just speaking it out of his mouth.

[104:54] And he said, don't fear. I'm your God and I'm with you. What do we got to be afraid of, Connie? Nothing. We just got to trust him. Let me see if I'm done. Luke 12, verse 4 and 5.

[105:08] I'm not going to read it. But let me tell you, Luke 12, verse 4 and 5. It's the only scripture I can read in the whole Bible. It tells us what we ought to fear. Now I'm preaching fear or not. Now I can use the only scripture in the Bible.

[105:19] It says, don't. But I thought it fits. It says there in Luke, what I just said. I'm trying to hurry up and quit. If I don't quit, I'm going to preach to midnight. Oh, the Norton's here. He said, don't fear those that can hurt your body.

[105:34] He said, the one you need to fear is the one that can kill your soul. So I only have one thing to fear. And that is that I don't serve God and do what I know I'm supposed to do.

[105:45] Because that one day, who said it earlier tonight? He'll say, depart from me, you worker of iniquity. I never knew you. Give the Lord a hand clap just for a moment. Now I've preached and I've sang the best I could.

[106:02] Y'all can tell I'm older than I used to be. I'd like to ask every one of you to bow your heads. I want to just say one last thing the Lord had me come to say. People, we fear the funniest things.

[106:15] We fear the funniest things. We shout. We speak in tongues. We come to this church. And I guarantee you there's not something you go home and you go, am I living close enough to the Lord? Am I doing enough?

[106:26] Am I really? I see heads shaking. I'm glad everybody's got their heads down the aisle. Am I really where I'm supposed to be? Am I really doing enough for God? Get that fear out of your heart. You've got to speak it.

[106:37] You've got to speak and say, I love you, God. I'm not perfect. I'm nothing but a ball of flesh. But you are my God and I have nothing to fear. The devil will use fear.

[106:48] The Bible said fear has torment. You'll walk through the house and feel a pain in your side. And the devil will say you've got cancer. You walk through your house and you feel an unusual pain in your neck.

[106:58] And the devil will say you've got a carotid artery. Y'all hear me? Something that happened to you, you say, yeah, my grandpa bowed the very same thing. I feel like I got it. Fear! Fear is trying to creep up on you.

[107:10] Because if he can get you to have fear, then fear hath torment. But I'm glad there's a scripture in the Bible, Brother David, that said the perfect love of God casteth out all fear. Somebody in this building tonight understands what I've preached.

[107:24] You love God. I'm not calling up a backslider. You love God. You truly want to do better in your life. But you're so gripped with fear of something.

[107:36] It's keeping you from going forward. It's keeping you from advancing. And it's keeping you from blessings that God has for you. I really believe there's more than one in this church tonight. And I want you in a minute, I'm going to ask you to come forward.

[107:48] Nobody's going to think bad of you. I didn't say you're sinful. I didn't say you're a sinner. Backslidden. I'm saying fear has got a hold of you. And all you like is this one little thing.

[107:59] Come up here and let that fear be released off of you. I am thy God. Be not afraid. Be not discouraged. I am with thee. That's what God sent me to tell somebody in this church tonight.

[108:11] I've seen people. Let me say this before I call you. I've seen people get weird. Fear over the craziest things. I know a brother I deal with right now.

[108:22] He's been serving God for 30 years. But he keeps saying, Brother Donnie, I can't get convinced that I'm saved. I've said the sinner's prayer. I pray all the time.

[108:33] Y'all hear me? If he said the sinner's prayer, how many of y'all believe he's saved? If he prays all the time, how many of y'all believe God hears him? But you know what's happened? Fear has gripped in that he's going to go to hell.

[108:44] Fear has come out. I said, Brother, you are tormenting yourself. And I've counseled you so much. You're tormenting me. You're saved. You're washed in the blood of Jesus. You just can't see it. I've seen people have fear on them.

[108:56] They wasn't saved enough. Wasn't ready enough. I could argue the point that's a good thing to have. It makes you repent more. But my goodness, you can't live your whole life afraid if he died tomorrow. Have a hard time.

[109:06] He said, I'm afraid I won't make it. I said, I couldn't live that kind of fear. I know a lady one time that got healed of a terrible sickness. She was dying.

[109:17] She got healed of a terrible, terrible sickness. And I said, aren't you proud that God's healed you? Aren't you full of glory and gratitude? She said, I can't enjoy it because I can't believe it won't come back on me and I'll die.

[109:29] Oh my God. Don't think bad of these people. They were people just like you. Fear can come in and grip you from anything. I knew a lady that God healed one time of a severe sickness.

[109:41] And she got a spirit on her that, who am I that I lived? Others died that I know, but who am I that I lived? And she couldn't enjoy her healing for feeling guilty that God had healed her and others had died of it.

[109:51] I said, God picks who he wants to pick and does what he wants you to do. So I want you to understand this fear is a real thing. And we all fear a little something. David said, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

[110:08] But you've got to trust in God. Somebody tonight, if you would like to be relieved of that fear, if you'll come forward in a moment and lay hands on you, and God has told me that he's going to release you from that fear in your life tonight.

[110:21] But it's totally up to you. If nobody comes up, I'm not going to be embarrassed. I spoke what God asked me to speak. But if you'd like to be set free of that fear, it might be the fear of your grandkids, your marriage, your home.

[110:32] You know what's gripping you. Here comes one honest with you. Just stand right here with me, sis. Is there anybody else? Would you like to be set free from that fear that holds you and holds you back?

[110:42] You know you love God. You know you're real. You know you are. That fear has just unjustly got a hold of you. Here comes another. Here comes another.

[110:54] I knew it, sis. I knew it. Now listen. We don't look at these people and look down on them. They're just like us. But they're confessing fear has snuck its way in.

[111:06] Are you all here too? Are you here to help me pray? I don't know who's here to pray. Get praying. Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear. Thank you for being honest. Amen. Fear.

[111:20] Let's bow our heads together. Father, almighty God, in the name of your son Jesus, I came tonight trying to be obedient to you.

[111:32] And following the words that I really believe you spoke to me. And God, you said, fear not for I am with thee. And be not dismayed for I am thy God.

[111:44] And I understand that even while I've pastored your people and preached successful sermons from the pulpit. And I go home and sit in my chair in fear. Did I do enough? Did I say enough?

[111:54] Did I follow God enough? I've let that same fear grip me many times. Until you have only even recently set me free. To not be afraid. Who can win?

[112:05] Who can overcome me? Nobody. I pray right now in the name of Jesus. Set her free from this fear. Whatever this fear is, set her free. Set her free in the name of Jesus.

[112:17] For this fear to set him free. And it leaves and never comes back again. And I mean total trust and confidence in the Lord our God. Setting free from the fear that he's not doing enough.

[112:28] My God, Lord, you're going to lead him and guide his steps. You're going to walk by him every step of the way. Setting free from this undue fear. Lord, set her free from this fear that holds her back from doing the things that you want her to do.

[112:42] Lord, even inside this church, let her be set free from that fear that restrains her and restricts her. Set her free from this fear, God. Set her free from the fear of what's going to happen.

[112:53] And let her trust God for what is going to happen. Set her absolutely free. How many of y'all will shout with me, be free? Be free. Of fear. Of fear. Those of you in your seats, say with me, be free.

[113:04] Be free. Of fear. Say it a little bit like that. Make the devil mad. Be free. Be free. Of all fear. Of all fear. In the name of Jesus. I believe God just delivered y'all from it.

[113:15] Give the Lord a hand. I believe it. Of all my heart. Hallelujah. Woo. Hallelujah. God is good.

[113:28] All the time. I'm going to get out of the way, Brother Seth. Am I supposed to give this to Brother David and you? Amen. Thank y'all for having me and putting up with me. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[113:42] Praise be to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. When we started, it was about almost two years ago.

[113:58] I had a lot of doubt. I had a lot of doubt. So I guess you can call that fear. That's right. But I had a lot of doubt that Riverside was not going to come back.

[114:11] I had a lot of doubt. But you see, what little I do, you do greater. There's a lot of you that come off and on.

[114:25] We have others that come off and on. That's why Riverside survives. We have those come off and on.

[114:43] He's been here since he was a child. He's come back as a grown man. Following God's Word. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I know God blesses each and every one of you here.

[114:59] It's nothing that I do, nothing that Sister Ravonna does, nothing that Brother Seth does. It's what you do. You come to praise the Lord.

[115:11] You come to hear the Word. You come to hear the Word. You come to hear the Word. You come to hear the Word. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord Jesus, for our service tonight. Thank you. We thank you for all of him to come, Lord.

[115:23] Heavenly Father. All those that we've heard of, Lord Jesus, merciful God. We thank you, Lord Jesus. Heavenly Father, for those, Heavenly Father, to come here tonight, Lord. Heavenly Father, to glorify you.

[115:35] To praise your name, Lord. Heavenly Father, to hear your Word. Lord, we thank you, Lord Jesus. Oh, for Heavenly Father, for keeping Riverside.

[115:45] Mercy with God, we ask you, Lord Jesus, Heavenly Father, the message that we're about to receive. Heavenly Father, we ask you, Lord Jesus, those that have come a long way, to give them a safe journey back home.

[115:59] In Jesus' name we do pray. Amen. Amen and amen. I got one thing. I said, you got something to say. I do. Yeah. You got something to say. You got something to say. You got to do.

[116:10] You got to. That's what I do. Oh, my Lord. That's what I do. How do you remember that? Oh, God. I talk about that all the time. Yeah, we do. Listen to this.

[116:20] I bet I ain't done it in 10, 15 years. You can do it now. I know you can't. Are y'all sure? Yes. Ha! I've been hurting. This man went to his barber and said, I can't get my kids to go to sleep at night.

[116:36] He said, well, tell them a bedtime story. He said, I've told them all the bedtime stories. They know them by heart. He said, well, you got to get smarter than you kids. He said, tell them their bedtime story backwards. He said, what are you talking about?

[116:47] He said, well, I'll tell you one I used. You ever heard of the story of Cinderella? He said, I tell my kids about Render Sella. Once upon a time in the corn funtree, they lived this beautiful burrow.

[116:59] Her name was Render Sella. Y'all trick people found her, right? Render Sella lived with her mother and the elder in two sad blisters. Y'all trying to figure it out. Do it back? In the same corn funtree, there lived a branch from Hinch.

[117:13] He was going to have a fancy fall. So he invited people for riles and animals, especially the pit-tree. The king of the night of the fancy fall, the other guy got ready to go.

[117:27] There were two sad blisters that were ready to go. But Render Sella couldn't go because all she had on was some rurdy old days. So she kept down the scrum. And while she was catting her scrum, there were proof of her great father.

[117:41] She said, Render Sella, why did you cry? She said, my mother loved me two sad blisters. She said, this is a fancy fall. I'm praying for him, but I can't go because all I got is rurdy old days. Are y'all taking it? He said, Render Sella, no problem.

[117:54] He said, I'm going to touch you with my wadget man. And you're going to go with that fancy fall. But you've got to be home for a nidmite or I'll turn you into a tunge. He touched with herself in his wadget man.

[118:07] I said, you need his man. He touched with herself in his wadget man. There were three or four hurricane bolts and six white horses. Take her to that nidmite. And Render Sella went. And when she walked in the door, she saw the friends come hits.

[118:18] And they lay on them fuzz. And they danced and they danced. And that clock struck nidmite. And Render Sella spaced out of the rares. And when she beats the rod of them, she slopped her dripper.

[118:36] The next day, the next day, the president went all over this corn thunder. The next day, the president went all over this corn thunder trying to find this beautiful girl who'd slopped her dripper.

[118:48] He came to Render Sella's house. He tried on her figly under. It didn't. He tried on her figly under. He was a figly under. And it fit it.

[118:58] But when he tried on Render Sella, it fits in. Now, take a deep breath. The story of the Lord is this. Your name is Render Sella. You're going to the corn thunder. It's a president of the Vance Fall. I'm a great father.

[119:08] I'm a great father. I'm a great man. When you go to the Vance Fall. You're going to fall in love with the clock strikes forever. And this might be a mistake down the road as you reach the bottom. Don't forget to slop your dripper. That is worth a million dollars to me.

[119:22] I love that. I love that. It's the first time I've done that in 15 years. I love it. I love it.

[119:59] God's going to give it back to you. Fear not.

[120:09] Fear not.
