The Lucky Man Page #5

Synopsis: Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

Everything is going to be okay.

We just need some time.

We talk about marriage

and ninas one day...

Okay, mi amor... just take of

yourself. Promise me that,

if you need anything, that

you're going to call me.

Si Mama, I promise. Mom, I have

to let you go. I'm gonna do some

shopping. But, I love you, okay?

Okay, mi amor. Te amo. Te quiero mucho.

(I love you very much)

Bye mama, te quiero.

Adios, mija.

[SOFT ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES]

Hey Baby...

you get your beauty sleep?

Yea, I gotta get

my suit cleaned.

You get all your

ladies stuff?

I did. I also got my boots.

Whhhhaaat?

I saved you a trip to the mall.

Yea, I don't have to hear

about that any more.

I talked to my mom too.

How's she doin'?

She's fine.

Um, she's just worried about me.

Just being a typical mom.

God damn baby, I love your mama.

Sweetest woman on the planet.

Nobody's got a

bigger heart than her.

I guess I got her to thank for

your lovely personality.

And that's a turn on. You know

most guys got fat bitchy old

ladies.

Well mister, what if I turn

bitchy, fat, and ugly?

Ah, I don't see

that happening.

Ah, this piece of sh*t.

Ah mother... just needs a

little love. There it goes.

[DRAMATIC AMBIENCE]

I'm tired.

I'm tired of this...

Yea, you know what?

I'm f***in' tired too.

- Well I just...

- Stop talkin', f***!

You know what?

It's none of your f***in'

business how much

money there is left.

Why not?

Or what the f*** I

did with it, alright?

- It is my business...

- you're not doing sh*t.

[INAUDIBLE ARGUING]

BUM:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What are you doing in the middle

of the God damn f***in' road?

Sh*t. F***.

F***in' insurance?

Well, Mister miracle man... are

you going to prove it to me now?

What are you trying to be funny?

What?

What about the bullshit...

...Shut the f*** up.

Just shut up.

Uh, f*** you!

Ah, God.

Heavenly Father, heal this man.

Descend upon this man's leg.

Heal his broken limb.

Put the fire of

Jesus in my hands.

Heal this man, Lord.

Heal this man.

I'm healed.

Just... just get out of here.

- I... you healed me.

- Here... just go, just leave.

Who are you?

Just get outta here!

You healed me.

I can't believe it.

You weren't lying to me.

I'm in love with a miracle man.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

[LIGHT PIANO MUSIC]

How do I look?

You look a lot like the man that

f***ed me twice this morning.

Yea, I bare a strong

resemblance, don't I?

Alright.

You ready?

Yea, I think so.

Let's do this.

Good morning,

how are you?

Good morning,

thank you for coming.

Good morning, Pastor.

Good morning,

how are you, ma'am?

I am just fine.

We are so happy to

have you with us this Sunday.

The ladies of the church have

made lunch for you all.

You will stay, won't you?

Well of course we will.

I would never turned down fine

home cooked meal.

So thoughtful of you

and the sisters.

I can't wait.

I have prepared my

special apple cobbler for you.

Aw, you are kidding me? I was

just telling Rebecca how much I

miss my mama's apple cobbler.

Oh! Excellent.

Good morning.

How are you?

Good morning.

God bless ya.

Good morning.

Thank ya for coming.

Good morning,

people of the Lord.

CONGREGATION:

Good morning.

I was driving here this blessed

morning and I told my lovely

wife, Rebecca, how blessed we

were to be welcomed into such a

fine church and community. But

moreover, how blessed the people

here were to have had such a

fine minster for so many years.

Hallelujah! Amen!

Now I know Pastor

Mike is lookin' down

on all of us right now with a

great big smile on his face.

I'm Reverend Jones and I come

here today with one purpose and

one purpose only. And that

purpose is to share in the power

and the glory of the holy

spirit. Can I hear an Amen?

Amen!

Now I'm so often reminded of the

hardships that so many of us

face throughout our lives be it

pain and suffering, financial

troubles, or maybe the loss of a

loved one. But here's what the

Lord says:

"Seek first

the kingdom of God and his

righteousness and all these

things will be made unto you."

Let us not look at the sudden

departure of Pastor Mike as a

tragedy but rather as God's

will. He had bigger things in

mind for him.

Amen!

Amen.

Now I'd like for you all to turn

your Bible's to Malachi 3 10.

"Bring ye all the tithes into

the storehouse, and prove me now

herewith, so sayeth the Lord of

hosts. If I will not open for

you the windows of heaven and

pour you out a blessing."

Now I want you to pay attention

to that verse and see how the

Lord operates. See the Lord

says, if you bring a seed to be

sewn with your tithe. He in

return releases the blessings he

has in store for you.

Can I hear an Amen?

Amen.

See we believe in a Lord of

plenty not in a Lord of

emptiness. Amen.

Amen.

In order to receive God's

blessing we must all be faithful

to his promises. We all must sew

that seed when we open our

hearts to bring forth

a blessing unto Him.

Amen.

Amen.

Now as I look out into the crowd

on this beautiful Sunday, I see

a lot of tears. I see some

wheelchairs. I know some of you

are in pain and need relief.

So I'm gonna ask those of you

that need some healing to come

on down to the front and let me

pray for ya. Take a leap of

faith. Come on. Come on,

don't be afraid. Help the people

that can't get down themselves.

Don't be shy, God's waitin'

for ya. Amen. Come on.

[INAUDIBLE SPEAKING]

Fire!

Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!

Thank you Lord.

[INAUDIBLE SPEAKING AND

SYMPHONIC MUSIC PLAYS]

Fire!

Hallelujah!

[INAUDIBLE SPEAKING]

Fire!

Hallelujah!

My son do you believe

that you will see today?

BLIND MAN:

Yes. Yes.

Do you believe in the Lord?

Uh huh.

- Yes!

- I can't hear you.

Do you believe in the Lord?

Yes. Yes.

Let me hear you scream it.

Yes! Yes, I believe! I believe.

The Lord almighty said

said let there be light.

The Lord said

let there be healing.

Fire!

Now son,

when I remove my hands,

you will be healed.

Do you believe in the Lord?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

What is it my son?

I can see. I can see!

CONGREGATION:

[INAUDIBLE PRAISES]

Amazing grace,

how sweet the sound.

That saved

a wretch like me.

I once was lost,

now I am found.

I was blind,

but now I see.

Now I want to ask

each and everyone of you to sew

a seed with the

Lord in your hearts.

Help break down those walls

keepin' you from bein' healed or

gettin' those bills paid this

month. Put your trust in the

Lord that all your needs will be

met. He will not let you down.

We're going to go ahead and

pass around the collection plate

while the organ plays. God bless

you. God bless you all...

Hallelujah!

CONGREGATION:

Hallelujah!

BLIND MAN'S SISTER: Reverend Jones, I
