- You helped set it up.

- When was the vote taken? I wasn't there.

The day before yesterday is what we were told.

- And we're sorry.

- It's just such a shock.

I don't know what else to say.

I just don't know what else to say.

You've delivered your message.

I've received it. Thank you very much.

Somebody has taken my wife.

They stole my church.

That's a temple I built for you.

I'm gonna yell at you

'cause I'm mad at you. Take it!

Give me a sign or something.

Blow this pain out of me.

Give it to me, Lord. If you won't

give me back my wife, give me peace.

Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me!

Give me peace.

I don't know who's been fooling with me -

you or the Devil.

I won't bring the human into this.

He's just a mutt.

I'm confused. I'm mad.

I love you, Lord, but I'm mad at you.

I am mad at you!

Deliver me tonight, Lord. Should I lay hands

on myself? What should I do?

I know I'm a sinner and a once-in-a-while

womaniser, but I'm your servant.

Since I was a little boy. You brought me back

from the dead. I'm your servant.

What should I do? I've always called you

Jesus. You've always called me Sonny.

What should I do, Jesus?

This is Sonny talking now.

All right.

You let me down, now heal this broken heart.

- Hello?

- Miss Dewey.

It sounds like you've got a wild man

over there hollering.

Who is that? Is that your son?

That is my son.

I tell you, ever since he was a little bitty boy,

he sometimes talks to the Lord

and sometimes he yells at the Lord.

- Tonight, he happens to be yelling at him.

- Could you tell him to talk softer?

People got to get their sleep.

Do you know what time it is? Hello?

I'm calling you, Jesus. Talk to Sonny.

You don't talk to Sonny tonight, it seems like.

But I can't...

- I reckon you didn't sleep much.

- I ain't slept for 48 hours.

- I was yelling at God till sun-up.

- You got the Pentecost croup?

And how! Yeah!

- Why are you going where you're not wanted?

- They can vote me out but not lock me out!

These people love me.

He's all right. He's all right.

He's all right.

He's all right.

I love you.

God loves you, Sonny!

- What happened, Sonny?

- I'm no longer your local pastor.

- You sure showed them with that $50 bill.

- It was a $100 bill.

- What you going to do?

- I don't know.

A lot of people will go with you. I know I will

if you start your own church.

This was my own church, sister.

This was my own church.

- God go with you.

- I love you and the Lord loves you.

Praise God.

Pastor, they can't vote you out of the church.

Your body's the temple.

God's walking up and down the avenues

of your soul. Romans 8:28.

God said all things work together.

Be encouraged, Pastor, in Jesus' name.

You can do it!

Go on, Bobby! Way to go!

Let's go, Bobby.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Bobby!

Keep your eye on the ball.

Yeah! Hit that ball!

Come on, Bobby!

I wish you hadn't come here.

I've come to see my beauties,

Mrs "Jesus, He's All Right" Dewey. OK?

- Everything all right?

- Everything's in order, Rodney.

I'll go get him. Y'all stay here.

Right on, your highness. Right on.

- You feel all right?

- As good as I've ever felt in my life, Rodney.

Sonny, why don't you stay here?

My name's not Rodney.

I want to see my beauties, if you don't mind.

Sonny, I'm really and truly sorry

about what's happened. I really am.

Why don't you butt out of here

before I take my boot and tear you

another a**hole right where your nose is at?

Right?

- Sonny, there ain't no call for that kind of talk.

- We'll see about that. Let's go home now.

- I'm sorry to break up the party here. Let's go.

- Don't you...

- Give me that.

- Sonny, don't...

- One for the road, Rodney.

- What's the matter with you?

- Sonny!

- Let's go home now.

- You're evil!

- Let's go home.

- Horace!

- You want to go with me?

Give me a kiss, baby. Come on.

Mercy, Lord.

In the name of Jesus...

In the name of Jesus.

Hallelujah!

Praise life.

- Sonny.

- Joe. I've done it this time.

- What happened?

- I let that sucker have it.

- How bad?

- I beat him like a one-legged stepchild.

- Is he hurt bad?

- Yeah. I imagine. Bad enough.

- What happened?

- I think he might be on the road to glory.

I've got to go. I'll miss my beauties.

- Give them my love.

- You bet.

Check on Mama. I can't tell her what I've done.

- I sure hope to see you soon.

- I don't know. I've got to go.

- God bless you.

- God bless you. Love my neck.

- God bless you. You're the best.

- How am I gonna get in touch?

I'll call you every night collect. I love you, son.

I love you, too, Sonny.

"I sent an angel before thee

to keep thee in the way

and to bring thee into the place

which I have prepared. " "Amen. "

Holy! Holy!

Glory! Yes, sir. Thank you.

Adis, amigo. Hello, Jesus.

That's it.

Pre-heaven addresses.

2120 and a half on the move.

Zip code non-existent.

That's it.

All right. Whithersoever thou leadest,

I will follow.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

d I don't know about tomorrow

d It may bring me poverty d

- Morning, my friend.

- Good morning.

- Do you catch freshwater mullet out of here?

- Sometimes. I caught a few.

- I catch more catfish.

- I see.

Do you mind if I sit here for a while with you?

Oh, no. Go ahead.

You see...

I'm on my journey.

Satan... Satan's driven a big wedge...

...between me and my family, you see?

It's... I tell you!

- You got any children?

- Yes, sir, and eight grandchildren beside.

I reckon you know what it means

to face the possibility

of losing everybody and everything.

It hasn't ever happened to me, no sir,

but I can still relate to that.

Yeah!

Would you mind if I stayed around here

a day or two to rest a while

and to see whatever the Lord has for me next?

- Would you mind that?

- You have no place to go?

Not that I know of yet, but the Lord's

leading me and he's talking to me. He is.

- You sound like a preacher.

- Well, yeah.

I've been a minister of the Lord since

I was 12 years old, back when God called me.

I do have a pup tent in the back

that my grandchildren play in sometimes.

- Could you use that?

- I'll sleep in any pup tent, any time, anywhere.

- I appreciate it. It's a mansion on a hill.

- Praise the Lord. It's yours.

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you

for this food that we're about to receive. Amen.

d It might bring me poverty...

d... It may be filled with flame or flood... d

Glory.

I feel as if I have crucified Christ

afresh in what I have done.

Adultery is a demonic oppression.

As we seek the deliverance needed

from such iniquity

I know that never will I be touched

or weakened by it again.

Never, till the day I die.

As thou know, O Lord,

once one has nullified the work of the cross,
