36:41i got to thinking a year ago today i was
36:44in the hospital
36:45there in carthage with kovid
36:48and uh sister melissa said i talked out
36:50of my head she laughed at me
36:52it was a lot it went on going on that i
36:55didn't understand i wasn't comprehending
36:57but i couldn't do anything for myself
36:59she took care of me like i was a baby
37:01and i appreciate that so much but about
37:04the fifth day i was there that they sent
37:06a therapist in there and i knew they was
37:10testing me and i told melissa i said you
37:12help me pray i can pass this test so
37:14they brought a walker in there and had
37:16me walking you know and he was watching
37:18me he said well you're doing good he
37:20said i think you're about ready to go
37:21home
37:22and uh i said yes sir i am so anyway the
37:25six days when i got to come home but but
37:28after that man left the covet specialist
37:31came in there and oh it was something
37:33about that man just made chills go over
37:35me and he looked at me and he said i
37:37think we need to keep you in here about
37:39two or three more weeks he said this
37:40could go anyway now we're not sure about
37:43this and i said sir
37:46and it wasn't long i thought he walked
37:48out you know and i said melissa we're
37:50going to have to pray and so come it
37:52went along that hospital has come back
37:54in there with paperwork and was
37:55discharging me and we got out there just
37:57as fast as we could i give god the glory
38:00people was praying for me the effectual
38:03fervent prayer of the righteous man of
38:05vailette much i'm holding on to the word
38:08praise here
38:08[Applause]
38:16sister cotton if you survive carthage
38:19hospital that's a testimony
38:22a lot of them don't
38:24a couple of months ago this kind of
38:26starts out kind of funny and
38:29it was funny to me at the beginning but
38:31after a couple weeks thinking about it i
38:33kind of saw a lesson in it
38:35we were in the osho eating
38:37and
38:39brother stephen's son and daughter
38:41stephen and brooke come in with the two
38:42boys
38:43we asked him to sit there with us and
38:46the little boy he really likes me so he
38:47made sure he come around and sit down by
38:49me and
38:50i looked over at him he gets a real
38:52stern look on his face and he looks up
38:54at me and doubles his fists
38:56he and they were gonna after they ate
38:57they were gonna go to their grandpa's
39:00he said i'm going to go whip my grandpa
39:04little bitty thing you know that'd be a
39:07pretty good chore
39:08and sat there a while and three or four
39:11times he looked up at me and said
39:13i'm gonna go with my grandpa
39:16now in his mind he was convinced he
39:18could do it
39:20determined he was going to
39:22you know if we could get that's faith
39:25if we could get that same faith when we
39:27come to church the devil looks bigger
39:29than a mountain but i'm going to go to
39:31church i'm going to whip the devil i'm
39:33going to i'm going to whip this problem
39:35i'm facing if we could just have the
39:37faith of some of them little children
39:38like that and i got a lesson on that
39:41even though it's humorous
39:45[Applause]
39:51i just want to say out of the lord he's
39:52got
39:57well i thank the lord for the holy ghost
39:59tonight and everything he's done for me

40:10soul food at sister sylvia's place

40:19somebody i don't remember who all was in

41:25that he's he's still doing but he's
41:27already done some of it um i have a uh
41:31granddaughter that her health is
41:34went down heel pretty quick
41:36she was weighing in at maybe i don't
41:39know it was under
41:4090 pounds or right at 90 pounds they
41:42couldn't find anything wrong with her i
41:44think i talked to brother eppley about
41:45it and
41:46had different ones praying
41:48but uh opened and i
41:50we were out there at that k and d i was
41:52buying some chickens something got in my
41:54yard and killed a bunch of them so we
41:56was going and buying some chickens
41:58and um
41:59the uh
42:01they the man out there had some
42:02sunflowers and that's her favorite
42:03flower and i said i want to buy this
42:05this flower and i want to take it to

42:30oppression and things like that but
42:32she's able to eat she's not throwing up
42:35um she is putting on weight i've been
42:37praying for god to touch her mind you
42:38know when you walk away from god
42:41and she got the holy ghost good real
42:43good shanna i know she was there and
42:45sister denise we stayed after with her
42:47that night she got a good dose of it but
42:50when you walk away from god you open
42:52yourself up to a lot of things
42:54and i believe an oppressiveness got hold
42:56of her and pulled her down and told she
43:00was seeing therapists they were telling
43:01her oh you know the childhood stuff and
43:04all that
43:05and i'm not knocking that there are
43:07things that happen but you can overcome
43:08that
43:09and so i've been really praying and
43:12calling her name
43:14got a prayer cloth and when i handed it
43:16to her
43:17she said nana she said it's i you
43:20haven't given me one of these in a long
43:22time
43:23and so that touched my heart and i knew
43:25god was
43:26working and i believe god's gonna bring
43:29her back i'm claiming it that god's
43:30gonna bring her back and refill her
43:32because i see he's already working she
43:35was so happy to see us she already made
43:37plans for us to come you know and spend
43:40some time with her and everything where
43:41she was with kind of withdrawn and so i
43:44just want to give god the praise for
43:45that i want to thank him for what he's
43:47already done and what he's fixing to do
43:53i want to give the lord of praise i
43:55really appreciate his church and the
43:57preaching this morning was just so
43:58wonderful how he tells us how to treat
44:01our husbands and and the children how to
44:04be young ladies and young men
44:06and i work in the medical field and i
44:08don't know if you realize how crazy it
44:09really is used to we had male female now
44:12we have a whole list
44:13of things that you can choose and even
44:15at the bottom it says other and i never
44:17have figured out what the other is
44:18supposed to be
44:19and like the other day i went in and one
44:21of the
44:22kids was sitting there and the mom and
44:24she's going they and them and i'm
44:25thinking there's only one kid here did
44:27it clicked i went so you're saying they
44:30and them with the pronouns and she said
44:31oh yeah because they don't know what
44:33they want to be from one day to the next
44:35so i'm like well what's wrong
44:37the kid goes i'm depressed and suicidal
44:39and i'm thinking well i would be
44:40depressed and suicidal if i didn't know
44:42what it was from day to day and i walked
44:44out of the office and i told the doctor
44:46i said i'm just not in this world
44:48anymore i need to just get out of this
44:50profession it's not like it used to be
44:53it's just a crazy world but you come
44:55here it is so refreshing and everybody's
44:57being taught correctly and i just want
44:59the church to know how much we need to
45:02to absorb everything that we can because
45:04this world is crazy

50:18[Applause]
50:24anyone else have a testimony i'll just
50:27grab this one here
50:30well uh brother jared and brother daryl
50:32stole my part of my testimony
50:35the bible said to give honor to whom
50:36honor is due and
50:38my theme of my testimony was
50:42what a shepherd
50:44i am so proud
50:46godly proud to sit under a man with such
50:49ethics with such principle
50:52with such character
51:03thank the lord
51:05thank the lord for his blessings you
51:07know this this hasn't been reiterated in
51:10a while
51:11but this place
51:13if i may enunciate
51:15this place
51:17was prophesied over
51:19that this church
51:21would be a lighthouse in the end time
51:24for years and years and years
51:26this place
51:28and we are in the direct will of god
51:31brother i remember standing
51:34in the driveway of elder triplett's home
51:36when he passed away and watching that
51:39hearse go down the hill
51:41and about 40 of us men standing out
51:43there i know what you could have heard
51:45anything there was no
51:47and i felt like
51:49i felt like i could speak for the other
51:5139 if it was 40 of us i felt hopeless
51:54in my mind because one of the ministers
51:57said in the camp meeting you can't have
51:59all your confidence and not that i did
52:01but i had brother brother triple was
52:03such a giant
52:04but the moral of the story is
52:07god's church never stops
52:10his work his workers die like brother
52:12eppley said but his work never stops
52:14and when and if god decides to take this
52:17man that we love and cherish so much
52:19because this place was prophesied over
52:22that this would be a lighthouse there's
52:24another man that will fill his shoes and
52:26the work of god will go on
52:29and on a personal note
52:32i've always tried to be a person
52:35that was uh
52:37a forgiving person
52:39and i have a lot to be forgiven of
52:41but i've always tried to be the person i
52:43work a lot of guys that have a lot of a
52:46lot of baggage on my crew my son could
52:48vouch for it brother jared used to work
52:50for me there's a lot of guys that have a
52:52lot of baggage but i've told virtually
52:54every one of them that i feel like god
52:56put me in that position to be more than
52:58the owner of a company
53:00he put me on there to be a leader of men
53:03and i may never see some one of them say
53:06but what if i do what if i can help one
53:08of them that's bound by drugs and
53:10alcohol and lascivious lifestyles and
53:13all i can do is point them
53:15i can't make them but i can point them
53:17but but back to this man
53:20my heart broke
53:22when he in passing
53:24in a passing statement
53:26mentioned
53:27that he had been tied up by his feet in
53:30a closet
53:32and hung
53:33till the blood run down to his face and
53:36this man chooses not to hold grudges if
53:38we if we need if you need an example of
53:41how to be a christian you need to look
53:43no farther than right there
53:46we ain't got nothing to hold a grudge
53:48over when a man's been treated like this
53:51i'm so proud to be a part of racine
53:52apostolic
53:54i want to serve god with my whole heart
53:56and i am
53:58i am godly proud to be an apostolic i am
54:01not ashamed of the gospel of jesus
54:03christ for it is the power of god under
54:06salvation
54:08he gives us the victory this is the
54:10victory that overcometh the world even
54:12our faith
54:13and everything we everything we do is
54:15based upon faith the bible said without
54:18faith it is impossible to please him we
54:20can't see our god we can't seem we we
54:23can't see the wind either but we can see
54:25its effects but i'm thankful that i
54:27serve a great god and i sit under a
54:29great man of god
54:40i'm just thankful for the smallest of
54:41blessings today i went to lunch with the
54:44little elderly man that comes behind us
54:47and i don't really want to speak for him
54:49but i know he don't have the holy ghost
54:50and he's not been baptized here but
54:53he was in the hospital before i got to
54:56him for about a month and they were
54:58going to amputate his leg
55:01and his foot was really
55:04rotted and i had a really bad foul smell
55:07when i started bringing him in from the
55:09homeless shelter
55:10and i was talking to him today and i you
55:14know he keeps coming every sunday they
55:16they've got a roof over his head he's in
55:19a facility his he's able
55:21to now um it's healed enough to where he
55:24can put his shoe on it after we've been
55:26praying for it he's still sober he's
55:29year and a half sober he's a giver he
55:31loves the lord and he appreciates every
55:34one of you so much more than you know
55:36and i'm just so thankful that the people
55:38out in the world see such a difference
55:40in us and that's something to give god
55:42glory for
55:45[Applause]
55:49is
56:14and he said i see things going on
56:23the year that i started this christian
56:24school

57:48i want to reiterate
58:02he was a great
58:07but when i man into an apostolic church
58:09for the first time
58:10to try it out as a church
58:14i guess you could say i was around the
58:15front long enough i fell in
58:18there's something about
58:20the holy ghost

58:28that'll do you like the holy
58:33ghost that
59:02i forgot a while ago what i was going to
59:04say but some of you reminded me but
59:07brother eppley stepped on some toes this
59:09morning maybe but he stomped all over my
59:11ingrown toenail
59:14because you know the holy ghost would
59:16clean up a lot of things it'll help you
59:18a lot of things but it don't change your
59:20nature
59:21it don't change your dna
