The Apostle Page #7

Living God. Thank you.

- Sammy, how are you?

- Real good.

Come on, boys. Let's go now.

Go to your grandma.

- Come on in.

- Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Apostle.

- I got you there in one piece!

- Praise God!

- Welcome to One Way Road To Heaven.

- Praise God.

Always a pleasure.

Apostle, I know what you're thinking.

Whenever you've been on the radio,

most of the white people think you're black.

Most coloured people know you ain't black,

but they like your style of preaching.

- What you see is what we get.

- What we got, the Lord sent.

I'll see you in a minute. Thank you.

Yeah.

"He whom God has sent

speaketh the words of God. "

Yeah. John 3:
34.

- We're going to have church this morning.

- Oh, yes.

Let's hear somebody say, "We're going

to have church here this morning. "

We're going to have church here this morning.

Yes, Lord.

Let's put our hands together

and welcome Jesus Christ into our church.

This is his home.

This is his home.

If this isn't his home,

we'd better go and lock this place up.

We'd better always be ready

to make God welcome in our house of worship.

- 'Cause this is his home. Glory be to God.

- Amen!

I'm not going to take any offerings.

That'll be next week.

I won't pass the collection plate today.

But when I do, if you bring ten dollars,

you give me one for the church.

Ten potatoes, you give one potato.

Ten pigs, one pig.

Ten per cent.

Here's what I want you to do.

Open your Bibles. You brought your Bibles?

Open your Bibles to the 150th psalm,

the last psalm there is.

We're going to praise him.

The 150th psalm says, "Praise ye the Lord. "

"Praise God in his sanctuary.

Praise him in the firmament of his power. "

- Praise him.

- "Praise him for his mighty acts. "

"Praise him according

to his excellent greatness. "

"Praise him with the sound of a trumpet. "

Do we have a trumpet here today?

We got a trumpet?

Amen.

We have a trumpet!

Thank you, sir. That's great.

"Praise him with a harp. "

I don't think we've got a harp here.

"Praise him with a timbrel. "

- Hallelujah!

- I guess that's what you call a timbrel.

I love it, I love it.

"Praise him with stringed instruments

and organs. " We got no organ player.

Do we have a stringed instrument?

Come on, son!

Praise him, brothers.

Praise him!

- Out of the mouth of babes.

- Amen.

Yes, Lord.

Glory. Glory be to God.

OK. That's enough. Thank you.

That's enough.

Reach over and hug somebody's neck and

say, "I love you and the Lord loves you today. "

Don't be strangers. We're all in the house

of Jesus. Nobody's going to bite you.

I love you and the Lord loves you.

- I love you, Grandma.

- I love you, sister.

- I love you and the Lord loves you.

- Lord loves you, too, sweetie.

Let's everybody come up and join hands.

Let's form a little Holy Ghost circle.

We're small but we're powerful.

- Say, "We're small but we're powerful. "

- We're small but we're powerful.

- Yes, Lord.

- Wherever two or more...

Welcome to the radio station KBBR

in Bayou Boutt, Louisiana.

The Apostle EF and his glorious choir

are going to sing for us.

I'm going to fly away. I've got me

my own airplane. I'm going to take off.

I'm not going to Jackson, Mississippi

or Chicago, Illinois.

I'm not going to Paris, France.

I'm going down that runway to heaven.

I'm going to say,

"Get out of the way, moon and stars.

"I'm on my way to heaven. " Come on!

d Some glad morning

When this life is o'er

d I'll fly away

d To a home on God's celestial shore

d I'll fly away

d I'll fly away, oh Glory, I'll fly away

d When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye

d I'll fly away... d

Thank you. Praise the Lord!

God, it's a miracle. Where did this come from?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you, brothers. God bless you.

d There came a thirsty woman

She was drawing from... d

I baptise thee in the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

And in the name of Jesus.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus.

Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

d Then she met the Master...

I baptise you in the name of the Father...

d Who told of her great sin...

Glory! Glory!

Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!

Thank God.

Thank you.

d I told Satan, "Get thee behind"

d Victory today is mine

d Victory is mine, victory is mine

d Victory today is mine

d I told Satan, "Get thee behind"

d Victory today is mine d

Hallelujah.

Yes.

That's real good. The kids are good.

How come they call you EF?

You ain't got a whole name?

Well...

Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. How are you?

I just came to see what was going on.

Them kids friends of yours?

They're just children of the Lord,

put it that way.

We are Jesus' church. They're Jesus' children.

- Is that right?

- Yes, sir. Can you take your hat off?

I'm sorry. Standing in the house of the Lord

with my hat on.

Can I do anything for you?

I'm just kind of curious why they call you EF.

I don't know.

That's no concern of anybody's

but mine and the Lord's.

If you'd like to discuss this outside, that's fine.

- You going to preach to me?

- No, sir. I'm not.

- What's your problem?

- I don't have no problem. You do.

I don't think working for the Lord is a problem.

If you want to come back into our church

as a gentleman, that's all right.

Otherwise, just go home.

I ain't going into any church

with anybody named EF.

- I don't want to sit with a bunch of n*ggers.

- Just get on out of here.

I'll leave when I choose to, Mr EF.

Come round to the other side, buddy.

Let's see what you're made of.

- Want the Lord to watch me kick your ass?

- I don't need the Lord.

- Can you believe this?

- Ever seen a preacher hit anybody like that?

Take your hat and get out of here. Get on out.

- I don't want to see your face again.

- I'm going to come back.

- You'll get the same thing again, won't you?

- We'll see about that.

I appreciate your support. It's not the Christian

thing to do. You should turn the other cheek.

If you do, somebody's going to take your

church. Nobody's going to take my church.

- I love this church.

- It's yours.

More than I do myself.

Nobody's going to destroy it.

- Somebody give me an amen!

- Amen.

d I love to tell the story

d Of unseen things above

d Of Jesus and his glory

d Of Jesus and his love

d I love to tell the story

d Because I know 'tis true

d It satisfies my longings

d As nothing else can do

d I love to tell the story

d 'Twill be my theme in glory

d To tell the old, old story

d Of Jesus and his love d

Here we go again.

- Yeah.

- All right.

At least tonight,

I'm going to walk you to the front door.

I am. Right up on the front porch.

Yes, ma'am.

- Yep.

- Well...

So... you think I'm intense, do you?

- A little.

- Yeah?

Well, I fit in pretty good, though,

don't you think?

I don't always have to talk of the Lord.

I think about him a lot.

I'm not like other preachers.

I'm trying to say I'm a man. You're

a woman. I feel comfortable with you.

- And I like you.
