The Apostle Page #9

I don't know what to say.

I absolutely don't know what to say.

For those of you who know me,

for me to be speechless...

Well, you'd better mark this on your calendar.

d Love is mine

Love is mine

d Love today is mine

d I told Satan, "Get thee behind"

d Victory today is mine d

Let's praise him today. Jesus Christ!

Doesn't working here tire you out

for preaching?

I only work part time, but if I get tired

the Lord gives me energy if I need it.

- When I need it.

- You sure got a lot more than I do.

It's the Lord working through me. Praise God.

Don't you ever forget it.

Harry, tell the boss I quit.

What's up?

Not much. I'll never serve nothing

through that window ever again.

That's why I'm a mystery,

why I come out of the blue, out of nowhere.

Being here may be the best thing

I've ever done in my life thus far.

What you going to do?

What do you want me to do?

Whatever you want to do. We love you.

You've helped many people in the town.

Yeah, well...

Amen.

Yeah. Amen.

If and when they come...

...I want you to take my gold, my watch,

my jewellery, hock them.

Get every penny you can

to help this ministry stay alive.

I love this little church.

And... Hey! You never know how long

the Lord's going to let you hang around.

Well, we don't. No.

He places us where he wants us to be

in all times and in all places.

You believe that?

Amen, brother. I do.

I do.

For $7.95, you can receive

one of these beautifully hand-painted scarves

from Bayou Boutt, Louisiana.

The Apostle EF, that's me,

will personally bless these scarves.

You can slip it under your pillow

and sleep more peacefully.

- Glory be to God.

- $7.95.

- Draw me a cross.

- OK.

...blessed... the Apostle EF... don't wait.

Send it to this station... The One Way Road

To Heaven... Bayou Boutt, Louisiana.

Don't wait, because we don't have many left.

You've been very generous.

In fact, we've gained momentum...

Louisiana state police for Bayou Boutt,

homicide. How many I direct your call?

- Let somebody say "amen".

- Amen.

We're going to need a baby Jesus,

if we have any volunteers.

We could always use a doll of some type.

And those who want to be Wise Men

report to Mother Blackwell.

- She's directing the Christmas pageant.

- Amen.

After the first of the year,

we have a little surprise.

We're going to have a marriage workshop.

Brother Blackwell will preside 'cause he's more

successful than I was in my experience!

Brother Blackwell has a word to say here.

Apostle, we feel that if Las Vegas can build

those casinos that tear up marriages

then we ought to be able to build

a humble temple

where we can try to save

and salvage those marriages.

Hallelujah. No tag-team parenthood here.

Glory be to God. Hallelujah.

Who's that?

We'll be with you in a minute, after the service.

You can sit tight for a while

and you might learn something.

You know, carry on. OK.

Now...

Yes, sir.

Sorry about this.

- It's all right.

- It's... Just a minute.

We're going to open this meeting

to testimonies.

Before we get to the main floor,

I want my little friends to say something.

These wonderful children are an important

part of our church, these young people.

- Do you have something to say, son?

- Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus.

- Thank you, Jesus.

- Right on.

Thank the Lord.

Good boy. Everybody say, "Thank you, Jesus. "

- Thank you, Jesus.

- Out of the mouth of babes. Glory.

- Sister Delilah.

- Glory to God tonight.

I'd like to give God glory for all he's doing

and thank him for being so real tonight.

I've been married twice

but both of my husbands have gone on.

But I dare to let that stop me

because Jesus lives in me.

Glory to God. Hallelujah.

Thank you, Jesus, for being so good.

I found this beautiful black penny

on the ground the other day.

The Lord said, "You have the power to call

the things that are not

to become the things that are. "

I said, "Lord, this penny is the down payment

on my house and my car. "

Glory to God! He's real tonight. Isn't he real?

He's real. Glory to God.

Oh-oh.

Equal time! Sister Johnson.

I praise God tonight.

I praise you for being in the midst.

And all the congregation of believers.

I'm saved tonight.

I'm sanctified. I'm Holy Ghost-filled.

I'm fire baptised.

My husband ran off with another woman.

Yes, he did.

I'm here to tell you if I ever do it again,

I'm going to check out his credentials.

He's going to have to be saved, sanctified

and Holy Ghost-filled.

- Glory to his name.

- Thank God and thank you, Sister Johnson.

Glory to God. Sammy?

Anything to say, Sammy?

I'm happy to be here.

And I'm happy

that everybody else is here, too.

Thank you so much. And now we have

Mr Elmo of KBBR. Mr Elmo.

Well, Apostle, I guess I'm thankful

that God sent you to my station.

I'm thankful that there were people listening.

I'm thankful to be anywhere!

- We're a good team, aren't we?

- That's right.

Glory be to God.

Yes, indeed. Elmo's very helpful in this area.

Brother George has been preparing something

on the horn. He's a wonderful musician.

He's going to play

one of these wonderful religious songs.

OK, George. Take it away.

It's all right.

Learn your ABC.

A, acknowledge that you're a sinner.

B, believe in Jesus Christ.

C, confess that you're saved.

Confess it to others.

Shout it in the hills and valleys.

If you keep your eye on Jesus,

he'll keep his eye on you.

As you can't escape the gaze of a picture

on the wall, his eyes will follow you,

the eyes of Jesus Christ.

Whithersoever thou leadest I will follow.

I am with you always. Everybody say "always".

Always!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

24 hours a day, seven days a week.

When I turn, he turns. When I jump

up and down, Jesus jumps up and down.

Somebody give me an amen. Somebody.

Glory. Glory be to God on high.

He backs me up here tonight.

Grab somebody, look them in the eyeballs,

say, "Jesus is here right now. "

Jesus the same yesterday, today, for ever.

Any time you think

the Devil's getting ahead of you

say, "Get thou behind me, Satan. Don't push. "

- Somebody say "get". Get behind me!

- Get!

The Lord don't want me drinking

because he's got his eye on me.

You can't hide the bottle

if he's got his eye on you.

The Lord don't want me to go dancing.

He's got his eye on me.

The Lord don't want me sinning.

He's got his everlasting eye on me and you

because he loves you and me.

How do we know he loves us

from now until the end of eternity?

How do we know that?

Because! Because! Because!

Because! Because!

Because he sent his only begotten son,

put him in a tabernacle of clay

so we could recognise him.

He came to save us.

He came to save us.

He could have called on how many?

How many? How many angels?

How many angels?

He could have called on 10,000 angels.

10,000.

But he came to save us. He took our place.

He hung on a tree so we wouldn't have to.
