I love that song there's so much good
Doctrine in that song that just teaches
them reminds us about how great God is
and when I think about all the planets
that that hand has made I see the stars
he goes from the smallest thing and just
builds it up as he reminds us of the
glory of God Amen Church
and then praise God
amen we're going to go into a moment of
prayer here in just a little bit but I
want to invite Pastor Pat up here and I
just want to just talk to you just
quickly just wonderful thing about just
the way Revival just moves I have this
thing I I mentioned it before at
pastor's meetings I say that when God
begins stirring up the waters the muck
gets stirred up too
and that's that's the way I like to put
it because
our flesh can get in the way sometimes
and it's it's it's just us just get in
the way of what God wants to do and so
we are so just excited and proud of what
God is doing in this revival and how God
is moving
and and church sometimes what needs to
be done can happen at the altars it can
happen in a prayer closet sometimes it
takes a good meeting and a little dose
of humility on all sides to make sure
that God's ways are preserved amen
amen and so Pastor Pat you if you could
share just a little bit and uh and then
we'll go into a time of prayer together
is that all right amen hallelujah
I just want to thank God for pastor Ryan
and uh for pastor Amanda
and the love that they have for us and
for the whole church
and I know that uh I have spoken
disrespectfully to our pastor
and uh in a way that uh was known to
some of you here and I just want to
sincerely ask forgiveness from Pastor
Ryan thank you and uh Pastor Amanda as
well and from anybody else that
experienced that
and uh
I just really love Pastor Ryan and
Pastor Amanda and I love all of you and
I love the church and I really want you
to know that we're United amen amen so

happening in this place as God moves

health issues when we come to this place
many of us are dealing with stress in
the workplace many of us are dealing
with stresses in the home and Lord we
bring these luggage into this place and

administer to your people father that
your Mighty power would Minister to each
one according to the various needs that
are represented in this place
that this will be a place in an
atmosphere of prayer a place in the
atmosphere of receiving from the Holy

body every Financial need Lord every
provisional every situation in the home
Lord that you would restore the bounds
of communication that you would restore
hope that you would restore strength

surround us to hinder us from receiving
for you tonight we ask Lord God that you
would move in your Mighty power and that
you'd be glorified in all things in this
place father as we need you more than

tonight
thank you for coming and being a part of
this service God is good to let us be
here amen
I saw people today over on the lake
I saw people mowing their grass
uh trimming the grass doing all kinds of
thing and that old smoke up in the air
from the fires in Canada didn't affect
anybody from soaking up Rays at the lake
or mowing the grass or whatever and I
said Lord don't let that smoke affect
anybody from coming to the house of God
tonight
and here you are to praise the name of
Jesus thank you for coming to be a part
of this service how many of you came
expecting
Hallelujah about eight of us going to
get something the rest of us just gonna
watch well the preacher said last night
to come expect him
brother I admire you
for what you did
whatever whatever you were referencing I
admire you for that and thank you for
what you did that that was the biblical
thing to do and so I appreciate that
brother thank you
when I was a boy growing up I was
raising the hills of Tennessee
and uh
I was raised by country people country
Old South ways I know you don't know
anything about that so I'm going to tell
you about it
I remember I was in about the fourth or
fifth grade
and one of my buddies at school told me
made me think about it when I said that
word expected
and he said to me well boys he said I
think Mama may not be with us long
and we we grew up in a little small town
like Albert Lee where if you forget your
business you can always ask somebody
else
everybody knows everybody
and so
we said what's wrong with your mother
and he said well she's pregnant
and I said is she gonna die
and he said well I don't know
I just found out yesterday
and he said I don't know what's going to
happen
so we need to be praying for Mama
and I said okay
we we were concerned about his mother
because we didn't know what that meant
it's so different today kids
you know I want to tell you something
folks don't get mad at me you're going
to think I'm Anthony deluvian
but the internet and phones and stuff
like that has done so much damage to the
Youth of this generation the children
that are coming up
they've see stuff that they have no
business seeing
and so when I got home from uh school on
the school bus mom and dad had already
come in from work they were sitting on
the front porch your grandma and
Granddaddy's house who lived right down
the road we just walked back forth A lot
of times rode our bicycles back and
forth and I come off the school bus and
I said Mama Dad Grandma guess what
happened and these folks live about
three miles down the road from us so and
so she when she needs prayer she's going
to the hospital
and uh what's wrong with her we didn't
know anything wrong with her she's
pregnant
and my grandma jumped up out of that
rocking chair and she said come here boy
I'm old wash your mouth out with lye
soap
and I took off running because I when I
was growing up everybody could give you
a whipping your grandparents your Aunts
Uncles mama what you say boy now today
they call that child abuse
but when I was growing up Dad was
patriotic he laid on the stripes and I
saw the Stars I'm telling you
and so here's what happened I took off
running out in the cotton field because
I knew I was fixing to get it
and so I waited about an hour I walked
around the front of the house and Dave's
sitting there talking and uh Grandma had
to fly swatter in her hand they're
sitting there drinking iced tea
I walked back around the corner am I
gonna get a whipping no dad kind of put
his hand over his mouth Grandma did that
trying to keep me from seeing them smile
and I finally walked up there close
enough and grandma said come here boy I
said are you gonna whoop me grandma she
said no come here I walked up on the
porch said come up here by me and I just
walked up there I looked around and
watched Dad see if he's going to give me
a uh uh we just call it a whipping
people call it a spanking or whatever
you want to call it but to us it was a
whipping
and so Grandma said son I look
she said that word you used
is not a good word to say
she said that you're like a cuss word to
us
and we don't talk that way I said okay I
said I'm just repeating what that boy
said I don't what does it mean you too
young to know right now you're just in
the fifth grade
but she said
but she said from now on if you hear
somebody say that word
you don't repeat that same word if you
come back and tell us that somebody is
in that condition
I said yes ma'am she said you you come
home and tell us so and so is expecting
and you can say they're expecting and
it'll be okay
now that has I'm 64 years old and that
has stuck with me all these years and
just and to think about you know my clan
the Parker Clan came from Ireland and
Scotland and landed over in North
Carolina my granddaddy kept the records
of our family this was way you know this
is way before uh ancestry.com and all
these places he kept our family
information
back to the mid
about 1640 1650 it's kept records of our
family down through the line and so
my but my family
didn't serve the Lord they didn't live
for God but they wouldn't use words that
they thought had a a connotation that
really wasn't appropriate in mixed
company now women may have used that
word but grandma wouldn't have and
grandma wasn't saved didn't know Jesus
but I'm just telling you how things has
changed so dramatically in America there
was a time when you just didn't do those
things I thought I was okay
amen there it goes and so so anyway you
know what preacher said last night come
expecting
somebody
I'm expecting Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I want to say thanks to Pastor for
putting us in a nice clean
Hotel
you know traveling around the nation we
used to pull a travel trailer and we
stayed in it a while
and things got so rough around the
nation hooking up to churches next door
some right next to the church sometimes
can be a especially in some of the
locations is dangerous
and you get broke into and all kinds of
things happen
we sold it now we stand in motels
packing up unpacking packing up
unpacking and uh sometimes you can get
put in the the the nice you know Holiday
Inn the Country Inn and Suites
and then sometimes you stay in the Motel
6 and
then you stay in in the places where in
a Motel 6 said to keep the light on you
stay in the places where they don't keep
the light on
Motel four
I've stayed in some of them places and
there's more roaches there than there
are people and bed bugs and
I can tell you stories that'll just turn
your hair gray
I'm telling you I've been there done it
46 years of ministry I'm telling you I
thank the Lord it means something to an
evangelist
you know he'd rather have a smaller
offering
and stay in a nice place than to have a
cheap place and get a bigger offering
that's just the way it is you feel
better when your place is clean don't
you you ever notice when you wash your
vehicle and vacuum it clean it up it
just feels better it rides better you
feel better about riding in it that's
the way it is when you're living in a
motel and some folks would save 30
dollars a night or twenty dollars a
night on the road but if you're only
doing that once or twice a year that's a
whole different ball game than living on
the road all the time like Sharon and I
do so it's a way of life for us so we
appreciate that Pastor thank you we got
to eat lunch with them today
we ate it
Elbow Room today
and had a wonderful time of Fellowship
I've been thinking about brother Tony
brother Tony I remember on Sunday night
when I was here four years ago brother
Tony received the baptism of the Holy
Ghost standing right up right about here
I was praying my brother Tony and God
filled it with the Holy Ghost
whoo I have talked about brother Tony a
veteran of World War II I have talked
about brother Tony all over this nation
churches I've heard about him and this
wonderful group of people here I said
you know when I left home and I drove
that far north of the Mason-Dixon I
didn't know how those folks in Minnesota
would treat me
but I said they took me right in and
acted like they loved me whether they
did or not
they're good at hiding it if they don't
and so I appreciate you thank you for
coming tonight it means something to me
but I tell you it means something to
that man over there because he's your
spiritual leader and he wants to see you
touched and blessed Sharon and I are
blessed to be here Stoney we're all
blessed to be here and we thank the Lord
for this privilege I hope you come back
in the morning
and let's just let the Lord have his way
one more time how about that let's just
let the Lord move in a powerful way
tomorrow call friends neighbors let's
get some other people down here let's
see God do some big things in people's
lives
when I was saved
uh
and I won't go through that whole story
but when I was saved
as a kid
uh our home Church got into a little
squabble
they ran the preacher off and it hurt my
mother and daddy so bad that they quit
the church
and they never did go back until I came
back to the Lord me and he stayed after
my mother me and her walked the aisle
together and got saved
and uh I was 17 years old and and from
that service on a Sunday morning
we were back Sunday night we had Sunday
night service then
and I remember the preacher preached on
the baptism of the Holy Ghost
because as I referenced last night it's
one of the top four doctrines of the
assembis of God
and so
he preached that message
and he invited us to come to the altar
or to the front to receive
and they gathered around me and prayed
women gathered around to women and men
gathered around to men and I just went
to the Altar and knelt because that's
all I knew to do
I just been saved six hours
and so when I knelt at the altar I put
my head over because I thought I needed
to bow my head and pray well those men
gathered around me and said lift your
hands up they pull my hands up
and I'm looking at them they said praise
the Lord I looked at them and said I
said what do I say they said say praise
the Lord I said praise the Lord
they've looked at me and waiting on me
to do something I said is that it and
they said no you got more to do I said
what'd I do they said say hallelujah I
said Hallelujah
I looked at them they started laughing
they said boy you don't know what you're
doing to you I said no what do you mean
I said what do I do I don't know
anything about the baptism of the Holy
Ghost I've just been saved six hours
well
they said you're supposed to say it
faster I said okay
they said say hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah I said okay and then they
said say Glory Glory Glory then they
said say thank you Jesus praise the lord
well Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Glory Glory Glory thank you Jesus thank
you Jesus praise the Lord praise the
Lord
amen amen amen
and the folks back then didn't believe
you could be filled with the Holy Ghost
if they weren't singing I'll fly away or
in that great triumphant morning when
the dead in Christ arises as fast as
they can sing it
well
I got so hot I started you know I was
there 30 minutes I started to raise up
one of them deacons shoved my head back
down boy you ain't feel the Holy Ghost
get back down there
when I was this is the way things has
changed when I was saved in that and
that generation if you started if you
didn't come to the altar a deacon would
go back there and say hey what's going
on
why aren't you in the altar well uh I
don't know we'll get on there boy go on
get what are you doing what are you
sitting back here for that's the way it
was years ago I don't know if it's that
way here in Minnesota but it was sure
that way all over the South
because they expected
you to receive from the Lord
and you do that by presenting yourself
to him come up here come up here where
the presence of the Lord he can move on
you anywhere
but by
you and I coming forward we're saying to
the Lord I want something like these
young ladies did last night they got
right up here and you know what they did
they didn't turn around and go back sit
down they just stayed in here
they just kept pressing in so to speak
well
ours passed now and I didn't receive the
Holy Ghost and so those men said don't
you give up boy
you keep praying I went home that night
I drove that trip 18 miles one way back
to the house and I was saying Lord fill
me with the Holy Ghost all the way Lord
fill me with the Holy Ghost Glory Glory
Glory Glory Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah all the way home
mama was just laughing at me and I said
Mama you you don't have the Holy Ghost
you need to be doing it too I looked in
the back seat of my sister you do too so
we all three hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah Glory Glory Glory thank you
Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus
we got back we went I went in my bedroom
I got on my knees beside my bed Glory
Glory Glory Glory
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah I was
doing everything I could to receive the
Holy Ghost because that preacher told me
God wanted me to be filled
he read he preached from Acts chapter 2.
verse 38 and 39 repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost for the promises unto you
unto your children and to all that are
afar off even as many as the Lord Our
God shall call he said everybody that
saved should be filled with the Holy
Ghost
that's what the Assemblies of God
believe but we don't believe it because
the sin is a God believe it we believe
it because this book says it Hallelujah
now now I'm not just fisting we I'm
preaching already I just hadn't read my
text yet
so
what happened is I was back on Wednesday
night
and then
the preacher preached gave an altar call
because they just had Church in those
days on Wednesday night they didn't have
a family night or whatever Bible study
whatever people call it he went he
invited us to talk I was down there
praying I put my hands up Glory Glory
Glory Glory Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah I put my RW
shambach voice on Glory
thank you Jesus can you shout amen
somebody that's trying to get the Holy
Ghost
as back Sunday a morning Preacher preach

down here and get saved well I'd already
been saved a week I went to that altar

fill me with the Holy Ghost I mean some
of the Saints was laughing some of the
ladies couldn't help it sister Gracie
Holt was that tall she weighed a hundred
pounds soaking wet she was my Sunday
school teacher and I'm telling you she
was a ball of fire she got a hold of me
she said boy you need to get serious I
thought I was she grabbed my hands and
in the name of Jesus she was working me
over I mean she said come on boy get get
together
[Music]

anything I shouldn't do or do I need to
do more she said shout louder Hallelujah
thank you Jesus family of the Holy Ghost
Lord
well I didn't receive now I saved Sunday
morning but praying for the Holy Ghost
Sunday night praying for the Holy Ghost
every night of the week uh Wednesday
night back the next Sunday morning the
next Sunday night and on Tuesday night
there was a Revival believe this at Dry
Hill Assembly of God
because that's the name of the community
dry heal
and the Pastor said y'all want to go yes
sir he drove by and picked me and my
mama and sister up in his uh Chevrolet
Impala
and we rode over there
went to that church went in at his jam
packed to the walls
Holy Ghost was moving
and that night God filled me with the
baptism of the Holy Ghost with Heaven
this is speaking with other tongues and
I'm telling you I have never since that
day stopped praying in tongues because I
learned that praying in the spirit
you're always praying the will of God if
you pray in the spirit
that's what Paul said
so I started hanging around with these
preachers now my pastor he spoke in
tongues you'd go to the store with him
he's over speaking in tongues we we
started hearing these preachers I'd go
here brother Schambach preach he spoke
in tongues more than he spoke in English
during the worship service in times like
that I was thinking pastor about a
little boy from uh up in your neck of
the woods in Washington Ola Mark
buntaine Mark buntaine everybody that
ever set close to Mark buntaine in a
worship service before he preached would
tell you he spoke in tongues the entire
worship service he never he wouldn't
sing a song he just spoke in tongues he
didn't he wasn't being loud he was just
you could hear him over here next to you
praying in unknown tongues as the spirit
gave the utterance
BH Clendenin was a big influence on me
brother Clinton prayed in tongues all
the time
David Wilkerson was a big influence on
me and David Wilkerson prayed in tongues
all the time
here he was on Times Square he said I
was walking out through there and I was
witnessing you've all heard the stories
surely uh Nikki Cruz and all those
people that he's sleeping in that car
and going out there and knocking uh or
going out there and meeting all these
gang members and witnessing to them and
getting them saved and so brother
wilkerson's uh now years later this
built this huge church and the power of
God is moving and he's out there walking
the streets of of New York City and
there's crazy people everywhere there's
the there's the cowboy they run around
naked all the time
oh the guitar
and then there's uh all these other
folks it's got all kinds of stuff going
on with them I mean demons in some of
them people and they're walking around
talking and jabbering and stuff and
brother Wilkerson said you know I'm
wasting my time having to walk up and
down these streets and just say hey how
you doing he said I just started
speaking in tongues and he said the
whole time I walk for hours up and down
Times Square and I'm praying in tongues
and I I walk by him because I just got
my regular street clothes on and they
see me coming they don't know me and I
go by and I said There Goes one of them
Crazy Ones listen Eddie and but he said
I'm praying in tongues because he said I
know that when I'm praying in tongues
I'm building up myself Jude verse 20 but
she beloved building up yourselves on
your Most Holy Faith praying in the Holy
Ghost
and then
and then he said so I'm I'm being
empowered by the power of the Holy Ghost
and then when I preach on the baptism of
the Holy Ghost and I lift up the name of
Jesus he comes and pours out his spirit
and Jesus baptizes you in the Holy Ghost
he is not baptized so I I said all of
that to say all I've ever known since I
got saved in the Assemblies of God I was
called to preach in an Assembly of God
camp meeting I've spent I went to
Assembly of God Bible College all I've
done my entire life from 17 years to
this very moment is try my best to hang
around Holy Ghost Field people and if
they weren't I tried to get them filled
with the Holy Ghost
if they're not saved first get them
saved and then get them filled with the
Holy Ghost
Hallelujah Jack Abram was on a plane
y'all remember Jack Hayford
uh Four Square gospel uh overseer for
some time he went to heaven sometime
back oh he was sitting on an airplane he
got in on the airplane and Tulsa and
he's flying back to L.A and he set
beside this man and he introduced
himself and this man said how are you
and he he this man was uh Osage Indian
and he talked in the University there in
Tulsa and he's a highly educated man
Oxford educated and so he said about
halfway there to Los Angeles the holy
ghost book brother Hayward said just
start praying in the spirit and he
started praying in the spirit as he
prayed the Holy Ghost moved and as he
kept praying and seeking the face of God
just sitting there waiting in the Holy
Ghost the Holy Ghost kept moving and
finally
he stopped praying in tongues after a
little bit you know what happened
he turned and uh he just looked forward
got him a drink of water and a few
minutes said man looked over and tapped
him on the arm as weeping he said I
didn't know you could speak Osage
native language he said pardon me he
said you've just spoken to me clearly in
our native tongue in the Osage the Osage
Indian nation is the most wealthy in the
entire United States because they have
oil on it on their land
and uh so those those people that have
head rights have got millions of dollars
and so he said you just spoke to me in
my language and told me that if I would
surrender my life to Christ he would
save me that he died on the cross all
these things happened and he said if I
would surrender my heart I could be
saved and the Lord could use me and that
he saw me in these different things he
said you literally it was like God was
talking to me God was
so let's look in the scripture and see
exactly what God Said along the same
line that I'm talking to you about
tonight Romans chapter 8. Romans chapter
8.
let's see what he says Romans chapter 8.
don't you love the word
I love the word I don't like opinions
but I love the word
opinions like armpits everybody's got
one and it stinks
but I want to know what the word says
come on now Romans chapter 8 verse 26
listen to what the Beloved Apostle had
to say likewise the spirit also
hepathyar infirmities for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought but
the spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered and he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the spirit
because he maketh intercession for the
Saints according to the will of God now
folks he's telling you and I why that
you and I should be filled with the Holy
Ghost you know we're not filled with the
Holy Ghost that just feel good we're
filled with the Holy Ghost to be a
witness
and it doesn't matter how much we speak
in tongues if we're not witnessing for
Christ then I don't know if we're filled
with the same holy ghost that 120 people
got filled with on the day of Pentecost
because that enabled them to become a
witness you shall be Witnesses unto me
under Jerusalem Judea Samaria to the
uttermost parts of the earth when you're
filled with the Holy Ghost you become a
witness it just empowers you to be a
witness for Christ you suddenly find out
hey I've got to tell what's happened to
me I can't be satisfied with this great
blessing and not share it with somebody
else everybody must be saved the Lord is
not slack concerning his promises some
men counts like us but is long-suffering
to us we're not willing that any should
perish but that all should come to
repentance second Peter chapter 3 and
verse 9. how those people going to get
saved that Spirit Empire church has got
to go where they're at and in the
marketplace and do everything we can to
reach them for Christ somebody say
hallelujah
there's no way that I could overestimate
the power and influence of the Holy
Ghost in our lives so it's not it's not
our prayer time or a prayer it's it's a
prayer life we we it's where we
understand and know we're praying and
that prayer life carries us through
every detail and every obstacle and
every mountain and every Valley and
every straight way in our life now the
Holy Ghost he said knows what to pray he
knows what to pray the spirit helps our
infirmities for we don't know what we
should pray for as we ought now folks
our physical of that word infirmities
our infirmities he said that means our
physical mental or moral weakness or
flaws we would make many mistakes in
prayer if the spirit did not Inspire us
with proper desires that came from
finest Jennings take out of the Dake
Bible folks the scripture makes it clear
to us and then in the divine's
expository dictionary of New Testament
words it defines infirmities as want of
strength or weakness or inability to
produce results don't you love that our
infirmities he said is the inability to
produce results so we need we want to
get results don't we so if we pray in
the spirit he's saying we're going to
get results so it's not that the spirit
helps us when we know not what we should
pray but he helps us because we know not
what we should pray we don't know what
to pray so when we get filled with the
spirit he knows what to pray through us
and we just let him pray
my pastor said Son don't even date a
girl
that don't pray in tongues every day
because if she don't pray in tongues
every day you're going to be struggling
over some things in your life and in
your marriage and if you're going to be
in the ministry you need somebody that's
full of the Holy Ghost
I mean it doesn't matter how many gifts
they got they need to be filled full of
the Holy Ghost because how many of you
know it's a challenge sometimes to live
with somebody
two of you well the rest of you you must
have a marriage made in heaven because
sometimes it's a challenge uh to live
with some people sometimes people can be
a challenge to be around
sometimes folks I had a friend that said
I don't I never did believe in flying
saucers till I fussed about the eggs the
other day and I saw flying saucers
the Holy Ghost knows what we should be
praying about
and we used to sing a song said I can't
even walk without you holding my hand we
inhale because he exhales in him we live
and move and have our very being Paul
said in Acts 17 verse 28 if it had not
been for the Lord who was on our side
Psalm 124 and verse 1. Isaiah 53 55
verse 8 and 9 for my thoughts are not
your thoughts neither are your ways my
ways saith the Lord for as the heavens
are higher than the earth so are my ways
higher than your ways and my thoughts
than your thoughts Isaiah 14 and verse
24 the Lord of hosts has sworn sang
surely as I have thought so shall it
come to pass and as I have purpose so
shall it stand what does all of this
mean to us folks we can't do anything
that pleases him but through the Blessed
Holy Ghost we pray in the spirit it
blesses him we sing in the spirit and I
mean we're singing in the presence of
God we worship we work we preach we walk
we talk we live in a life led by the
spirit that don't mean you've got to be
hollering that don't mean you've got to
act super spiritual and have your head
held up so high that you drown if a
thunderstorm came
that means that you walk in the spirit
and you pray and trust God to lead you
that in your life God will use you to
put you in the right place at the right
time that's what the Holy Ghost does in
our life look at your neighbor and say
Amen
so if that's what happens if praying in
the Holy Ghost I'm praying the will of
God why here's the way I view that why
waste time praying about something that
you might not even know the will of God
is in that situation when if you pray in
the spirit you're praying the will of
God
because Paul said he that prayeth in
tongues prays not to himself but he
prays to God
why did our forefathers you know we
didn't start out Pentecostal
we were Baptists and methodists and
Presbyterian and Lutheran and all kinds
of
Heinz 57 variety
and they came to the 312 Azusa Street
where the preacher had his head stuck in
a box
up here praying
and the people all around were speaking
in tongues you read the history of the
sins of God our forefathers that came
from all over this nation over there
that some of them when they got within a
block of the building fell into such
conviction they fell to their knees and
repented before God and then some of
them when they got in the building were
filled with the Holy Ghost es Williams
one of our former superintendents he
wrote uh theological three different
books on Theology and uh and I have
those in my library I love brother
Williams he was a wonderful man he went
in and watched the the Azusa Street
Revival he's I've witnessed it the power
of God moving he came out of that place
so hungry and thirsty for God God
baptized him in the Holy Ghost oh
brother let me tell you if you and I
then you know the the way that you you
you have a move of God like that is that
you make disciples like the preacher
said you know those people came there
were filled with the spirit and they
left out of there and went out and
spread the news like wildfire all over
the nation that God was pouring his
Spirit out and people were praying in
unknown tongues and it lit a fire and
that's the reason this building is
sitting here today is because somebody's
Spirit field came here some preacher
some couple there were some people in
this town that came here that were
hungry and thirsty and they were saved
and they were filled with the Holy Ghost
and they came and built this facility
and you and I are standing on their
shoulders here tonight because those men
and women blazed a trail for you folks
here in Albert Lee now what's the last
generation if the Rapture soon to occur
what's the last generation going to be
like of the Assembly of God Church in
Albert Lee let's all be Spirit-filled
people let's all walk in the Holy Ghost
let's all live in the spirit let's all
praise God in unknown tongues let's
worship God in unknown tongues let's
live in the power and the anointing of
the spirit word of God brother there's
no time to waste we need the Holy Ghost
tonight
whoa Hallelujah say whoo
Hallelujah
Zula was her name
Zula was a hard-working woman who had
accepted Christ as her savior she was
Osage Indian
we're going to bring Stoney there
in just a couple of days
down in Oklahoma
she and her husband had six children
together
and when she was just in her early I
think maybe about 40 years old
she started to feel bad
she had some checkups and found out back
then people didn't go to the doctor very
much
he finally did get a doctor and then saw
her and said you have cancer and you're
dying
she called all of her children in the
room hugged and kissed on them loved on
them
just brand new Christians she was she
said your mama's going to heaven she
painted a perfect picture of what
happened going to be like according to
her thoughts it's going to be a
beautiful place it's going to be like
that tall Sawgrass you see all over
hit this County
that you we all work in out there he's
going to be like tall grass
and all those children stood there and
listened to her tell about Jesus as she
read to him from the Bible and she
hugged and kissed on those kids and
looked them right in the eyes put her
hands on their face here she is this new
Christian in Christ hadn't been saved
that many months she's been reading the
Bible and she's got her hands over those
children's faces looking at them telling
them by she knows it's about time I'm
just about to go hugging and kissing on
those kids and looking at them listen I
want you to meet me in heaven
don't live your life without God meet me
in heaven don't die lost give your heart
to Jesus he's telling her children she
called her husband in there hugging and
loving on those kids he came in there
what is it honey she said don't you come
to heaven without my children you make
sure my children stay in the house of
God you make sure they're safe teach
them about Jesus show them the way live
right in front of my children so that
when the time comes and you get through
the Gates of Heaven that maybe soon some
of the kids will come along but I want
to see every one of my babies in heaven
and it's up to you because I'm going
home
and the next day she was gone
just a couple of days later
the kids were left there at the house
and the oldest was there to watch while
they all cleaned house kids would
already knew how to cook back then when
you were six years old you knew how to
cook
people talk kids how to cook how to keep
house then at six
you go to a kid's room tell them to make
up the bed today at the age six make it
up I've never made my bed up I know
there's probably stuff growing and
living under your bed go in there and
clean it out I'm afraid to go clean that
bedroom y'all help me now you know I'm
telling the truth
and so
Daddy went on out in the field went to
work
and after a couple of hours the kids
heard a buggy pull up in the front this
was many years ago when the when the
mode of travel was still for the most
part buggies and buckboards and uh
horses and mules and this was in Osage
County Oklahoma the largest county in
the state of Oklahoma larger than
Vermont and Rhode Island combined
and so they walked out on the porch
barefooted them kids and there's a woman
in that buggy she stopped tied him off
she got out she grabbed a basket full of
stuff walked up said are y'all the
Gibson kids we are
we I've been praying and I'm a Christian
woman and I've been saved by the blood
of Jesus y'all know what that means no
ma'am
and I've been filled with the Holy Ghost
and I speak in tongues and they said
what does that mean said I'm going to
teach you what it means but I brought
y'all some food and that little bellies
are hungry and they said come on in she
walked in and they brought that she
brought that basket out there and it was
all his food and those kids started to
eat and she brought enough food and they
had a ice box people call it a
refrigerator today but it was an ice box
she put all that food that was left over
and some other stuff she cooked for a
few days and put it in there they had
enough food to go for two days and she
fed them kids she sat down and what's
your name and she talked to him she
lived on the ranch next down but you
know even still today uh people that
live on those ranches they don't know
what's going on in the next place they
may not know for days but until somebody
gives them the word well the Holy Ghost
told her that lady died and you need to
go over there and help her so she's got
all this together she said well I've
come to cook and clean not uncooked now
kids show me what needs done where's the
broom and she went to sweep in that
house she cleaned that house she took
the rugs out there and beat the rugs
anybody know what I'm talking about
she beat the rug she took him in there
she took the clothes put them in a in a
in a galvanized tub and put a scrub
board in there anybody know what I'm
talking about and she scrubbed those
clothes and cleaned those clothes and
hung them out on the line anybody know
what I'm talking about come on
and so all this stuff done Daddy comes
in at supper time she's already gone
back to the ranch where she lives taking
care of her family
what in the world has happened there's
clothes out there on the line I checked
them they're dry and I went on brought
who hung all them clothes did y'all wash
them clothes uh no sir who did well it
was a stranger showed up and she she
came up here and cooked she cooked food
and brought up here and we had supper
where is it at they went in there and
showed him that food and I'm telling you
he had supper look at this food in the
icebox well the next day they had food
to eat and then the next day when she
showed back up then she went over there
and she said hey guys did you eat all
that food yeah well I brought some more
and so do we need to wash clothes again
yeah they didn't have enough to make but
a couple of days and so here we go again
I'm telling you that lady told him about
Jesus while she swept the floors they
heard that woman speaking in tongues and
praising God while she was cleaning that
house and then she noticed one of the
boys he was just three years old and he
would go over and she'd miss him and he
well he was four and she said he would
go she'd look him up in the bedroom and
in Mom and Daddy's bedroom and that was
the old Chef robe sitting against the
wall that was the closet in those days
they didn't build closets in houses in
the old days they just had a piece of
furniture that it had to open doors and
you hung your clothes in there you had a
space about that long to hang your
clothes I wonder how that would go today
whoa
and so and then you had a place to put
your shoes and then you had a couple of
drawers to put your
unmentionables
and that was it
and so she walked in there looked at him
found him she said
uh she said boy what's wrong with you
and he had the door open and he had a
hold to his a couple of his mama's
dresses and he had them pulled up to her
face and he was weeping
he said what are you doing he said I
miss my mama
he was smelling of those dresses
and he's just cry
she's sitting on the bed pulled him up
on her lap she said let me tell you
about where your mama went and she
talked to him about Jesus talked to him
about heaven and she said you know if
you get saved and you live for Jesus and
you grow up to be an old man as old as I
am
a lady you will get to go to heaven too
you get to see your mama
she's with Jesus and she painted him
such a perfect picture of Heaven you
know what happened it made him so hungry
to want to go to heaven and then he
started listening to what she had to say
apparently she noticed he wasn't going
to that chiffarobe all the time he's
finally getting to understand that she's
with Jesus and she's okay and then the
next thing you know she's praying over
those kids and dad comes in he meets her
he goes she talks to him about Jesus he
said well my wife told me I can't go to
heaven if I don't bring all these kids
with me to heaven so you got to help me
with that so she opened the Bible up and
read it to him and she said you need to
get saved y'all need to give your hearts
to Jesus and those kids got saved all
six of them can I get a witness
and dad got saved and they gave their
hearts to the Lord and the next thing
you know they're serving Jesus now she
comes back and she said all right now
y'all saved and we need the Holy Ghost
so I'm going to pray for you she began
to pray for him God filled them with the
Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking
with other tongues I'm talking about a
woman that heard God God spoke to her
and she obeyed and God used that woman
to go and minister to a family and help
those children as they grew along she
kept working with them and ministering
to them and praying for them her and her
husband both and they helped that man to
raise those kids took them over to their
Ranch and let them stay the night many
times they loved on those kids and
showed them Jesus that's what we're
supposed to do
you know what happened
she got those kids all graduated from
high school and they surrendered their
hearts to the Lord and they were
also called into the ministry
and as they were called into the
ministry power of God came they were
already filled with the Holy Ghost God
used them in great power now that boy
that had his head in the in the
chifferobe when he was a teenager he
everybody had to work in those days
nobody had a choice
he went to work as a cowboy on the
Chapman Barnard Ranch
and he worked for the one-on-one Ranch
sometimes you see some of these shows on
TV and they say and he said the
production of a one-on-one Ranch
the one-on-one Ranch in the in the
Chapman Barnard Ranch is a big powerful
ranches in Oklahoma
and he worked for those both of those
ranches as a cowboy
and one of his friends who lived in the
there and worked with him and stayed in
the bunk house just across the way with
him his good friend worked on the ranch
he later somebody they needed horses and
so he loaded up a bunch hauled them to
Los Angeles and they were going to make
some cowboy movies they saw him said you
know anything about him he said oh yeah
and they he unloaded them horses what do
you what do you know he said well what
do you need to know I raised on a ranch
I know all about horses and so they said
can you saddle one up sure he saddled
one up jumped on it took off riding and
uh and a director saw him come back said
we need that man and Ben Johnson
the famous actor who was in so many John
Wayne movies in different movies John
Ben Johnson who came from right there at
the one-on-one Ranch and Paul Huska
Oklahoma
was a dear friend of my dear brother
that I'm talking to you about they were
both neighbors growing up and they were
both born in a little spot in the middle
of Osage County called four acre
when he was 19 he met and married his
love
and uh was saved and she was saved loved
Jesus and they
his Pastor Marvin Hartz who pastored the
first assuming of God in Tulsa he had
taken a group of young people to Revival
to hear Amy McPherson preach anybody
heard that name before
and they got together and they planted
Woodlake Assembly of God Church in Tulsa
that's a big church today well my friend

their own their boys pastored churches
in Orlando Florida Colorado Springs rank
in Texas and their daughter is an
anointed singer was an anointed singer
in Tulsa their grandchildren became
preachers their grandchildren are

musicians I'm telling you folks the
power of God used that precious old
woman and you know I never did get to
meet her I never did know her name but I
knew the man that God sent her there to
help touch among that whole family and
she didn't know but God was going to use
her to not only turn turn around a
family a man who is a widower and his
children but he also turn around entire
generations of people now all of these
people all of their kids was her kids
were saved and they've met her in heaven
now all of them are gone and when uh I
named this guy I think of this guy I
remember calling him on Father's Day
telling him hey bud I just wanted to
call you and tell you that I love you
you're one of my spiritual fathers I
thank God for you and I sang Happy
Father's Day to him like happy birthday
and he wept and cried when I told him
that oh I've been by his grave a little
spot in the road near Arkansas City uh
Kansas and I I've been by there many
times drove way out of my way to put
flowers on his grave and thank God for
that Holy Ghost man that taught me so
much about the moving of the Holy Ghost
he forgot more about the Holy Ghost and
more people will most people will ever
know but folks he raised up young men
and under his ministry and his preachers
All Over Texas and Oklahoma and Arkansas
that loved that man to this day and we
can't wait to get to see him in heaven
one day how did all that happen how did
all this I I here I am tonight trying to
perpetuate this moving of the Holy Ghost
how did all that happen because a woman
was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost
and God used that woman to touch this
family and that they got married and
they had families and then their
children and then their children and on
and on and on it's gone my children
called him Grandpa they loved that old
man of God what would happen if here
tonight somebody caught the fire what
would happen tonight if somebody here
received the baptism of the Holy Ghost
what would happen if somebody here got a
burden the Holy Ghost spoke to you you
got so filled full of the Holy Ghost and
you saw a family over here that was in
need and you went over to see them and
you began to minister to them and pray
for them and you impacted their all of
their children and then those children
grew up if Jesus tarries and they were
married and they had children that won
people how many people could be saved
out of all of that influence think about
that that's how it happens somebody
what's that phrase preacher each one or
each one if everybody could just reach
one the power of the Holy Ghost will
lead us to do that
whoa Hallelujah
y'all ain't shouting and running like
you ought to but I'm preaching It Anyway
Hallelujah
on a Saturday night God wants to fill us
it's his will I quoted that scripture a
few minutes ago
Jesus said out of our belly shall flow
rivers of Living Water this he spake of
the Holy Ghost which should come after
he resurrected
it's God's will to fill us with the Holy
Ghost
the devil will try to talk you out of it
he'll try to talk you out of the moving
of the spirit
did you know in the Sinners of God
they've changed it now but did you know
in this sin is God and the semen of God
Church years ago when Sharon and I
joined the Assembly of God Church
that on the membership card they used to
say are you saved or born again yes you
check yes
then he said are you filled with the
Holy Ghost or earnestly seeking to be
filled with the Holy that was the exact
wordage used
and we had to check that yes or no and
you know what if we told the pastor
we're not seeking the baptism the Holy
Ghost then you couldn't be a member of
the church in those days that's the way
all this evening of God churches were
that's the way Thomas Trask our former
superintendent believed it that's the
way Charles Crabtree my dear friend
Charles Crabtree who could preach a
sheetrock off the wall and read one or
two verses and never take a note with
him I love that old man of God I want to
tell you those old preachers went
everywhere around this nation
challenging us we've got to get back to
the Altar and get filled with the Holy
Ghost or our church is going to only be
in name only and not in power the
Assemblies of God are here because we're
a Holy Ghost Field church folks the
reason why we have success in missions
is because we send out missionaries that
are filled full of the spirit God help
us in America if we could get the fire
going again in our lives we could see a
turnaround and what's going on in this
nation today but it's going to take
starting right here at the church

that's going to come through you it's
going to come from the Holy Ghost Oh
Holy Ghost
Revival comes from thee

[Music]
glory to God

[Music]
how many of you tonight remember
somebody in the church years ago they
may have been gone to heaven 20 30 40
years now maybe longer
but they were Holy Ghost Field and they
they touched your life in a powerful way
somebody in the church you remember
anybody like that do y'all remember
anybody like that might have been your
pastor it might have been some Dear Old
Saint
some man or woman that loved Jesus just
so full of the Holy Ghost
that's what God wants us to be
y'all listen to me now who's going to
influence these young ladies
who's going to influence the young
ladies and young men of the church
what did Paul say
what did Peter say the elders
teach the younger ones is that right
we are to teach them and show them
the way
[Music]
and you know what folks there's a lot of
churches that could have a move of God
if the elders I'm talking about us and
the church
come and be examples to these young
people but the things the fact remains
that sometimes it's the young people
that come forward while the rest of us
just kind of spectate and watch
[Music]
because we're tired all because we've
had a long day or because we just don't
feel like standing or whatever the case
but you know we could come to the front
and sit in the front and pray we could
come around the altar area and sit just
to be with them
see what I'm saying it's it's not
something to I'm not taking you through
some kind of spiritual calisthenics
I'm just saying
if we want young people to come to the
front to pray we should come to the
front and pray we need examples to them
does that make sense it does to me
[Music]
I want you to help me tonight folks I
need your help
I need you to help me
some of these ladies gathered around
last night and helped us and a few of
the men did
these young ladies are wanting to be
filled with the Holy Ghost they just got
back from Youth Camp
and their soul hungry for Jesus
I mean they're wanting the Lord to move
in their life
and and if I understood right they've
been to youth campus they're right
Pastor they've just been someone been to
Youth Camp
so
if they're going to keep that fire that
they experienced at Youth Camp
you and I need to Fan the fire
[Music]
do you remember the people that prayed
with you when you were filled with the
Holy Ghost aren't you glad they didn't
give up on you aren't you glad they
didn't quit
now you look back and you say thank God
they gathered around me and kept praying
and kept believing God I was filled
you cherish those old men and women of
God who are gone now
and if you would help me tonight gather
around there may be some folks here
tonight that have been saved and filled
with the Holy Ghost for years but maybe
you haven't really prayed in tongues I
mean really prayed in tongues for an
hour or so in years and you need to be
refilled with the Holy Ghost you need
that Joy you know David said restoring
to me the joy of my salvation
maybe you just need a good refilling of
the Holy Ghost tonight
I mean that's what Revival is all about
I wouldn't give you a plug nickel that
Old-Timers usually say a foreign
advantages wouldn't come in and prod you
like a doctor you go to the doctor's
office and I'm hurting he said where at
well lay down and then he started
mashing on you and he hit that spot
that's it and he just keep punching it
stop that hurts
that's what an evangelist does they come
in and go to poking and prodding and if
they hit a sore spot on you oh that
didn't feel good well just keep up just
keep on until it makes us get up and get
out of our rut of life
and do something about it you don't have
to tolerate me but tomorrow and it's
over
until your next meeting comes
[Music]
what would happen if tonight somebody
got something real you know that boy
sitting over there beside his grandma
[Music]
I spent some time with him today over
here and I went in Dunham's to look for
a
if Dunham's and down in closer to our
neck of the woods and I I went in
looking for some tongs grilling tongs
didn't find what I was looking for they
had some but not what I wanted
and there's a there's a sporting goods
store in that mall area
I took him in there
I showed him some baseball cards on
Roger Maris he don't know who Roger
Maris was anybody remember Roger Maris
I showed him baseball cards of uh of
Ozzie Smith
and baseball cards the different ones I
had a cousin that played for the St
Louis Cardinals
I'm telling you I grew up on all those
Outdoor Sports
and we bought a few cards
and I bought a
uh who knows they call them a figurine
it's a molded thing that you send a
little plastic deal of
a basketball player out of OU that
played professional Ball
but you know what the money we're
spending on Stoney
taking him places he's never been up
here he's never been in South Dakota
where we're headed next and he's never
been into Kansas or Nebraska and we're
taking him around on this tour while
he's out of school
you know the desire of my heart
at 64.
it's my grandchildren to know Jesus
I want them to know the power of Jesus
and I want them to be filled with the
Holy Ghost
now two nights this week
it was uh Tuesday
it was a Monday and Tuesday night
Stoney got in the altars God touched his
heart and he was walking around that
building with his hands up weeping
he came up to me on Wednesday night and
he said Chief I'm hurting I'm sick
and I've laid my hands on him prayed for
him
time we got back to the room he said I'm
feeling fine let's go eat
my heart's desire is that that boy goes
back to school
not only saved but he's filled with the
Holy Ghost
because what are we going to hand down
are we going to pass this Heritage now
are we going to pass the torch down or
we're going to let it drop
if our kids and grandkids are going to
be saved and filled with the Holy Ghost
and carry this on somehow someway you
and I have got to get serious about it
somehow somebody's got to pray for him
who's going to pray well you
will you who's going to pray the hardest
for your kids
you are
who loves your kids the most
you do
there's all kinds of people that come to
me all the time pastor Pastor I need you
to pray for my son and and sometimes I
ask them how often do you pray well I
pray sometimes but now I mean to you
fast and pray that you really seek the
Lord are you really believe in God well
you know
I'm busy well they want somebody else to
do their praying for them but friend
nobody loves your kids like you do
we need to get serious before the Lord
if you have a son or daughter that's not
saved this would be a great time for you
to come up here and pray for them and
say God Lord my I want my son and
daughter to be saved just like that
family in Oklahoma I want to I want to
see them saved and filled with the
spirit
and then some of you ladies will come
around and help me pray for these young
ladies that they're going to be filled
with the Holy Ghost
so would you stand with me please and
look here folks it's just 7 30. we
hadn't been here but an hour and a half
we got all kind of time tonight it's
Saturday night come up here and help me
and let's pray with these young ladies
now young ladies y'all listen to me now
we can't be filled with the Holy Ghost
[Music]
when you're thinking about all kinds of
other things
concentrate on Jesus concentrate on him
think about Jesus and he is your
baptizer
remember this you don't have to beg
you receive the baptism of the Holy
Ghost
you shall receive
[Music]
Peter said now
God wants to feel every one of you
tonight it's not something that's scary
and kind of weird
God loves you and he wants to feel you
he wants to baptize you to overflow him
but here's what I want you to do
I want you to just open up your heart
and mind to Jesus
and praise him and I tell young people
all the time
tell Jesus what you think about him
when you begin to praise him you tell
Jesus what you think about him
what he means to you tell him how
important he is to you how much you love
him and how great he is in your life and
as you begin to pray and Worship the
Lord pastor and I are going to lay our
hands on you and pray these women are
all gathered around you and guys and
Lord believing God with you to be
and then as we pray for you the power of
the presence of God comes on you you
just yields yourself and that's not easy
to explain but yield yourself to be
Holy Ghost
as you with your hands raised as a sign
of surrender
out of your inner being you're praising
the Lord and giving him glory the Holy
Ghost will come upon you and tonight you
may be filled with the Holy Ghost press
your way in
press your way in
and let
touch you in a powerful way let him feel
you full of the spirit it's his will
it's his plan
if you'll do that the rest of you
if you don't mind if you're if you're
not you know you may not be used to
coming to the front and I don't want to
embarrass you I'm not putting you on the
spot but you know if you've got a son or
a daughter a grandson or granddaughter
that needs Jesus while we're up here
praying for these young people to be
filled with the spirit why don't you
come up here and help me pray around the
front would you do that would you gather
around up here there's seats there's all
these areas here along the steps where
you could come and just sit you don't
have to stand
up here and seek the face of the Lord
for your children and grandchildren
let's believe the Lord for them to be
saved and filled with the spirit and
then any of you here tonight who may
need a refilling of the spirit if you
lift your hands open up your heart and
ask the Lord he will feel you
to overflowing he'll do it if you and I
will just obey him Hallelujah let's pray
let's believe the Lord
