[MUSIC] >> LET'S INVITE THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD HERE FIRST. LORD, WE WANT TO TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE FOR ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD MAKE IT THROUGH TIMES LIKE THESE. WITHOUT KNOWING THAT YOU LOVE THE WORLD SO MUCH THAT YOU GAVE YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON FOR US. AND GOD, WE'RE HERE TO GLORIFY YOU AND TO HONOR A GENERAL IN YOUR ARMY. WE'RE SO GRATEFUL. AND SO, LORD, WE PRAY YOU WOULD BLESS US WITH YOUR PRESENCE TODAY. AND WE PRAY, LORD, YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH ALL THAT'S SAID AND DONE TODAY.AND WE THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THE COMFORT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, FOR THE LAMB FAMILY.AND FOR ALL OF US WHO WERE TOUCHED BY YOU THROUGH MARCUS. WE TELL YOU THANK YOU THAT HE YIELDED HIS LIFE TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.AND WE SUBMIT THIS TIME TO YOU. IN THE NAME OF YOUR PRECIOUS SON, JESUS CHRIST. AMEN. PLEASE BE SEATED. ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING. AND I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO A CELEBRATION OF A GREAT MAN OF GOD. CAN WE JUST, GO AHEAD AND THANK THE LORD. A GREAT, GREAT MAN OF GOD. [APPLAUDING] >> THERE WERE SOME THINGS ABOUT MARCUS THAT I JUST HAVE TO MENTION THAT THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD BE AROUND HIM AND NOT PICK UP ON THESE THINGS. NUMBER ONE. HE LOVED JESUS. IN PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS. OR ON TELEVISION. I CAN'T RECALL HOW MANY TIMES HE WOULD GET CHOKED UP AND EMOTIONAL TALKING ABOUT THE LORD AND WHAT THE LORD HAD DONE IN HIS LIFE AND HOW GRATEFUL HE WAS FOR THE LORD. SO ANY TIME YOU SPOKE WITH HIM OR HEARD HIM SPEAK, THAT WOULD JUST COME THROUGH. SECONDLY, YOU COULDN'T BE AROUND MARCUS WITHOUT PICKING UP HOW MUCH HE LOVED JONI. HE WENT ON JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH SOMETIMES ABOUT JONI. HE LOVED JONI. SHE WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE ON THIS EARTH. AND SHE WAS HIS PARTNER. THE CO-FOUNDER, THE CO-LEADER OF DAYSTAR. THE FAMILY. THE TELEVISION NETWORK THAT GOES AROUND THE WORLD. AND SHE LOVED THE LORD JUST AS MUCH. AND YOU KNEW THAT AND THEY LOVED EACH OTHER AND YOU SAW THAT WHEN THEY WERE ON AIR TOGETHER, OR IF YOU WERE JUST HAVING A MEAL WITH THEM. NUMBER THREE. HE LOVED HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS. THE REASONS I SAY SONS PLURAL AND DAUGHTERS IS BECAUSE THE THREE OF YOU BECAME SIX. AND HE SAW NO DIFFERENCE IN THE ONCE THAT MARRIED IN AND THE ONES THAT WERE BORN IN. YOU COULD CONTINUE TO SEE THAT. HE WAS ALWAYS SO PROUD OF THEM. I ALSO THINK ABOUT HOW THESE LAST FEW YEARS HE WAS PREPARING THEM TO CARRY ON THE LEGACY. AS IF HE KNEW SOMETHING OR HE MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING BUT HE WAS DEFINITELY BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO PASS THE TORCH TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THE FOURTH THING. YOU COULDN'T BE AROUND MARCUS AND NOT PICK UP HOW MUCH HE LOVED ISRAEL. HE LOVED THE JEWISH PEOPLE. IT WOULDN'T BE LONG BEFORE IT CAME OUT HOW MUCH HE LOVED ISRAEL AND LOVED THE JEWISH PEOPLE.AND WE MAY NEVER KNOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE WILL KNOW IN HEAVEN, THAT STATEMENT THAT WE'LL KNOW AS HE KNOWS, I'LL HAVE TO LET SOME OF THE OTHER GREAT THEOLOGIANS WE HAVE EXPLAIN THAT MORE TO ME. BUT WE MAY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH HE DID FOR ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE. THE FIFTH THING BEING AROUND HIM, AND I WAS 57. I'M JOKING. IS HOW MUCH HE LOVED THE LOCAL CHURCH. A PARA-CHURCH MINISTRY IS NOT A BAD THING. IT GOT A BAD NAME BY SOME. BUT THE WORD PARA MEANS ALONGSIDE. WE GET IT FROM THE WORD PARACLETE, THE HOLY SPIRIT WALKS ALONGSIDE US. PARA-CHURCH MINISTRIES WALK ALONGSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH. DAYSTAR EXEMPLIFIED THAT. THEY SOWED INTO LOCAL CHURCHES. THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY LOCAL CHURCHES THEY SOWED INTO. THEY ALWAYS ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO BE PART OF THE LOCAL CHURCH. THE LAST THING I DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD SAY IT OR NOT, BUT I JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD. BECAUSE MARCUS WAS SUCH A MAN OF JOY HE WOULDN'T MIND ME SAYING THIS. HE'LL LAUGH NOW AS I SAY THIS. HE LOVED GOLF. AND HE DEFINITELY GETS THE MOST IMPROVED AWARD.BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED, HE WAS LIKE LISTENING TO A YOUNGSTER LEARNING AN INSTRUMENT. BUT HE DEVOTED HIMSELF. ONE OF THE REASONS HE DID, HE LOVED FELLOWSHIP. HE LOVED BEING WITH HIS FAMILY. HE LOVED THE OUTDOORS. GOD'S CREATION. AND HE LOVED BEING WITH OTHER LEADERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST AS THEY WOULD COME IN AND MINISTER TO PEOPLE ON THE AIR. AND THEN THEY WOULD GO AND FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER. SO HE WAS A MAN OF LOVE. THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SAY, HE WAS NOT ONLY A MAN OF LOVE, BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE. AND HE GAVE SO MUCH TO THE KINGDOM THAT MANY OF US WILL NEVER KNOW. I DON'T EVEN KNOW AS HIS PASTOR, BUT I KNOW THAT HE WANTED TO SOW.HE BELIEVED IN SOWING SEEDS THAT WOULD BRING A HARVEST. SO WE'RE GRATEFUL. AS I SAY, THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF LIFE.WE WELCOME ALL OF YOU WHO ARE HERE. WE WELCOME ALL OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING BY TELEVISION. WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO SHARE AS WELL.I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE LAST WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT. SCRIPTURE SAYS, WE DON'T GRIEVE AS THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE. I WANT YOU TO NOTICE THAT THE PERIOD ISN'T AFTER THE WORD GRIEVE.IT DOESN'T SAY WE DON'T GRIEVE. BECAUSE WE'RE CHRISTIANS. WE DO GRIEVE. WE LOST A FRIEND, A BROTHER, A HUSBAND, A FATHER, A GRANDFATHER ON THIS EARTH TEMPORARILY. BUT WE DIDN'T LOSE HIM. HE'S WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. WE'LL SEE HIM TODAY. SO WE'LL GRIEVE TODAY, BUT WE'LL GRIEVE AS THOSE WHO HAVE HOPE. AND WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL LEADERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST WHO YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM. AND FROM SOME OF HIS FAMILY. SO REJOICE WITH US TODAY. REJOICE AT THE LIFE WHICH OUR BROTHER MODELED FOR US. A LIFE OF SERVICE TO JESUS CHRIST. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PEOPLE TODAY THAT YOU'LL RECOGNIZE.I ASK AS THEY COME TO MINISTER TO HONOR THEM OR WELCOME THEM. THEY'RE COMING TO HONOR MARCUS. AND THEY'RE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO THE KINGDOM AS WELL. SO FIRST, IT WILL BE SOMEONE WE ALL KNOW.WILL YOU PLEASE WELCOME PHIL DRISCOLL, AS HE COMES AND MINISTERS TO US.

TREMENDOUS HONOR FOR THEM AND MARCUS. LOOKING AROUND HERE AND ALL THE PEOPLE HERE AND DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, IT'S A TRIBUTE TO MARCUS AND THE LIVES HE TOUCHED. JUST THE EFFECT HIS LIFE HAD ON THE WORLD.THANK YOU FOR COMING. I THINK SOME OF THE POWERFUL MINISTRIES REPRESENTED IN THIS ROOM, CERTAINLY SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL PREACHERS AND TEACHERS JUST LIKE MARCUS WAS. AS I LOOK AROUND AT ALL YOU GUYS, I'M REMINDED HOW MANY OF YOUR MESSAGES I HAVE STOLEN. AND I WOULD REPENT BUT I'M NOT FINISHED YET. I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU, GUYS. JONI. I KNOW I SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARPB THE WORLD WHEN I SAY HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU. HOW MUCH WE RESPECT YOU. [APPLAUDING] >> YOU HAD A WONDERFUL HUSBAND. AND HE LOVES YOU WITH ALL OF HIS HEART.AND YOU GUYS HAVE SUCH AN INCREDIBLE MARRIAGE. YOUR MARRIAGE CHANGED THE WORLD. THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER MARCUS AND JONI LAMB. AND I SAW YOU GUYS THROUGH SO MANY MOMENTS OVER THE YEARS. YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON GOD. YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON EACH OTHER. AND YOU GOT CLOSER AND CLOSER AND CLOSER. AND MARCUS LOVED YOU WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART. EVERY TIME WE PLAYED GOLF, HE ALWAYS STOPPED AND SAID, I'M GOING TO STOP AND TEXT MY PRECIOUS JONI.YOU TAKE YOUR PHONE OUT RIGHT NOW AND TEXT BONNIE RIGHT NOW. HE WAS A LITTLE BOSS SEE WHEN WE WERE GOLFING.WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOUR MARRIAGE PRODUCED THREE OF THE GREATEST KIDS. THEY'RE NOT KIDS ANYMORE. THEY'RE GROWN. JONATHAN AND SUZY, GIVE THEM A HAND HERE.[APPLAUDING]. >> JONATHAN AND SUZY, JOSH AND RACHEL, JONATHAN AND REBECCA. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. YOU ARE FAMILY TO KARIN AND ME. AND YOUR DAD LEFT SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT HE WOULD GO. BUT BEFORE HE LEFT, HE PUT HIMSELF IN YOU. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR FATHER'S LEGACY IS YOU. AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S IN HEAVEN, HE LIVES HERE THROUGH YOU. YOU'RE THE FUTURE OF DAYSTAR, JONI, AND ALL OF YOU. AND THE BEST DAYS FOR DAYSTAR NETWORK ARE JUST AHEAD. [APPLAUDING] >> I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE LEGACY, MARCUS' LEGACY AND I WROTE DOWN FIVE WORDS. I DIDN'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. I WANTED IT TO FLOW NATURALLY. INTEGRITY. I NEVER MET A BETTER MAN THAN MARCUS LAMB.TENACITY. MARCUS WAS TOUGH. HE NEVER GAVE UP. HE NEVER GAVE UP. EVANGELIST. THE WORLD WAS REACHED THROUGH MARCUS LAMB.THE WORD WAS PREACHED THROUGH THAT MAN.VISIONARY. WHAT A VISION HE HAD FOR DAYSTAR AND REACHING THE WORLD. AND THE LAST WORD IS UNIFYER. DAYSTAR BROUGHT TOGETHER ALL NATIONS, ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, AMAZING.AND MARCUS FINAL PRAYER HE TOLD JONI IS HIS DEATH WOULD UNIFY THE BODY OF CHRIST. ANYBODY WANT TO AGREE WITH THAT? [APPLAUDING]. >> MARCUS WAS MY DEAR FRIEND. WE PLAYED GOLF TOGETHER FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MARCUS WAS A GOLFER. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED PLAYING, HE WAS TERRIBLE. HE WAS A BEGINNER AND I BEAT HIM FOR 7, 8 YEARS. HE STARTED GETTING GOOD AND BEATING ME.MARCUS WAS A VERY, VERY COMPETITIVE GOLFER. HE LOVED YOU, BUT HE WAS GOING TO BEAT YOU. HE WAS OUT THERE TO WIN PERIOD. HE WAS THE MOST E MOTIVE GOLFER I EVER PLAYED WITH.SOME GOLFERS ARE VERY STOIC AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY THINK OF BUT WHEN MARCUS WOULD HIT A GOOD SHOT, HE WOULD GO WOO! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HEARD THAT ANNOYING SOUND WHEN HE WAS BEATING ME.IT GREETED ON ME. SO ANNOYED YOU. BUT AS MUCH AS HE LOVED HITTING A GOOD SHOT HE HATED HITTING A BAD SHOT.NOT MANY BUT WHEN HE HIT A BAD SHOT HE WOULD FUSS AT HIMSELF. HE WOULD GO, MARCUS LAMB WHAT ARE YOU DOING?YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT. WHEN HE HIT A WORSE SHOT HE WOULD KIND OF THROW HIS CLUB. HE NEVER LOST CONTROL JUST FLING HIS CLUB DOWN ON THE GROUND TO SHOW HOW DISGUSTED HE WAS. WHEN HE HIT THE WORST SHOTS HE COULD HIT HE WOULD YELL, NO, I DON'T! NO! I LOVED THAT. IT WAS FABULOUS. IT WAS LIKE HEALING WHEN HE WAS BEATING YOU. MARCUS, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I GOT TIRED OF MARCUS BEATING ME. SO I PRACTICED THREE WEEKS. WE WENT OUT TO PLAY JONATHAN AND JONATHAN AND MARCUS AND I WENT OUT TO PLAY. I PLAYED GOOD THAT DAY. I WAS PRACTICING. TWO THREE HOLES MARCUS WAS ENCOURAGING ME AND CELEBRATING I WAS PLAYING GOOD.JIMMY, YOU'RE PLAYING REALLY GOOD.THANK YOU, MARCUS. HE'S REALLY CONGRATULATING ME. THAT HAPPENED UNTIL I WAS TWO STROKES AHEAD.THEN I NOTICED HE STOPPED ENCOURAGING ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GOT IN HIS WAR MODE AND HE WAS GOING TO BEAT ME. HE STOPPED TALKING. HE WAS JUST PLAYING TO WIN. RIGHT ABOUT THEN SOMETHING STRUCK ME KIND OF LIKE A REVELATION I RECEIVED. AND I JUST REALIZED AT THAT MOMENT THAT JESUS CALLED ME TO HUMBLE MARCUS LAMB. IT WAS A CALL. I STOOD THERE FOR A MINUTE. I SAID YES LORD. THY SERVANT WILL OBEY. IT WAS ON. WE PLAYED THE NEXT FOUR, FIVE HOLES. I WAS STILL TWO HOLES AHEAD AT 15 AND DRIVING MARCUS CRAZY. I HAD A GOOD DRIVE, GOOD SECOND SHOT.I WAS ON THE GREEN. AND MARCUS HIT A BAD SHOT AND HAS TO HIT A GREAT THIRD SHOT AND PUT TO TIE ME AT BEST. I'M AT THE GREEN WATCHING HIM. AND HE HIT THE WORST SHOT YOU EVER SEEN IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE. THE CLUB GOES UP IN THE AIR, NO, NO! THEN HE STOMPS AROUND FUSSES AT HIMSELF. I'M UP AT THE GREEN THINKING TO MYSELF, THIS FEELS FANTASTIC. I LOVE BEATING THIS MAN EVEN IF I GET KICKED OFF THE DAYSTAR NETWORK. IT'S WORTH IT. IT'S ALL WORTH IT. I'LL MISS JONI AND THE FAMILY BUT I HAVE TO FULFILL MY CALL TO HUMBLE THIS MAN.I'LL TELL YOU THE REST OF THE STORY. THE NEXT THREE HOLES HE WAS ON FIRE AND BEAT ME BY ONE STROKE. THAT WAS MARCUS LAMB. HE NEVER EVER GAVE UP. HE WAS MY DEAR FRIEND. I'LL MISS HIM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE UNTIL I SEE HIM. HERE'S A VIDEO OF MARCUS GOLFING. >> WE'LL PLAY. >> THIS MAN WOULD PLAY IN THE SNOW.>> HE WOULD. LIKE THE MAILMAN, NEITHER RAIN, SLEET OR SNOW.[MUSIC] >> A DAYSTAR SUPPORTER WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF A BIG TOURNAMENT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INVITED ME TO COME PLAY AND HE SAID, BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO PAIR YOU UP WITH PHIL MICKELSON. THIS IS PRO AM DURING THE TOURNAMENT I PLAYED ON LIVE TV. >> O. >> WOO! >> IN HONOR OF MY JONI, THAT'S HOLE IN ONE NUMBER 4. >> THERE HE WAS. [APPLAUDING]. >> PLEASE WELCOME JOEL OSTEEN AS HE COMES TO SHARE. [APPLAUDING]. >> THANK YOU. THANKS JONI, FAMILY. O MAN, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO DO THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW, I LOVE MARCUS. [APPLAUDING] >> JIMMY HAD ME LAUGHING. I THOUGHT I WOULD DO GOOD YA'LL. I LOVED MARCUS. MARCUS MEANT A LOT TO US. A FRIEND, A VISIONARY. HE WAS FUN TO BE AROUND. I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GO THIS SOON. AND I KNOW NONE OF US DID. BUT YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY HAPPY. I KNOW WE'LL SEE HIM AGAIN. BUT IT IS, IT IS DIFFICULT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.FAITH IS TRUSTING WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. GOD, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO US.WE BELIEVE YOU'RE IN CONTROL. YOU'RE ON THE THRONE. YOU'RE STILL GOOD, GOD. I CELEBRATE MARCUS LIFE. WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. HE SPOKE FOR US AT LAKEWOOD. MARCUS KNEW THE BIBLE AND NO ONE COULD QUOTE BIBLE LIKE HE DID AND MOVE HIS LEG WHEN HE DID. HE'LL BE ON THE PROGRAM TONIGHT. CATCH AT EIGHT, MIDNIGHT. HE WOULD GIVE ME ALL THE OPTIONS. HE WAS FUN. JONI TOO. YA'LL ARE REMARKABLE. I WATCHED THE PROGRAM AFTER MARCUS PASSED THAT MORNING, HOW DO YA'LL DO THAT? MAN, THE GRACE OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE AND THE STRENGTH. REMINDED ME OF MY MOM WHEN MY DAD PASSED. WOW, I WAS LIKE WORSE THAN I AM NOW AND I THOUGHT YA'LL ARE SO STRONG.GOD GIVES YOU STRENGTH. YA'LL ARE REMARKABLE. I WANTED TO SPEAK TO MARCUS LEGACY BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE ON LIKE JIMMY SAID AND I FEEL, YOU KNOW MY DAD PASSED 77. IT WASN'T QUITE THE SAME BUT DID PASS UNEXPECTEDLY. I THOUGHT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW? YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD WAS IN CONTROL THEN AND I DISCOVERED THINGS IN ME I DIDN'T KNOW WAS IN ME AND IT TOOK THE LOSS OF MY FATHER TO PUSH ME INTO DESTINY.NO ONE LIKES TO LOSE ANYBODY, WE DON'T LIKE TO LOSE MARCUS. BUT I BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED FOR ME WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU. YOU'LL DISCOVER GIFTS IN YOU, COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, BOLDNESS. I ■BELIEVE YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, R PUT INTO YOU BY EXAMPLE. YA'LL ARE LOVING, KIND AND FUN. IT WILL CONTINUE ON. YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, MARCUS IS IN THE GRAND STANDS NOW. HE'S UP THERE WITH MY DAD AND A LOT OF SAINTS OF OLD. YOU KNOW WHAT MARCUS WANTED TO DO AND WANT THE FAMILY TO DO, GO FURTHER.THE WAY YOU MAKE MARCUS PROUD IS CONTINUE TO SHINE BRIGHTLY AND MOVE FORWARD.YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GET STUCK IN THE PAST.MARCUS IS WITH THE LORD. I JUST CELEBRATE HIM. JONI, YOU'RE REMARKABLE. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT ONLY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL AND POISED BUT YOU'RE ANOINTED AND YOU'RE RAISED UP FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.WE KNOW IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO. AND EVEN, MY FIVE MINUTES IS OVER. HOW ABOUT THE DAYSTAR TEAM, IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, BEHIND THE CAMERAS, YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING, PUTTING OUT EXCELLENCE. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE FAMILY. I KNOW WHEN DADDY PASSED WE HAD FAITHFUL PEOPLE AT LAKEWOOD THAT KEPT EVERYTHING GOING, NOT BECAUSE I WAS A GREAT SPEAKER OR ANYTHING, THE GRACE OF GOD, THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE WE'LL SEE WITH THE DAYSTAR VIEWERS AND STAFF.YOU CONTINUE TO RISE UP AND SUPPORT THEM. WE'LL MAKE MARCUS PROUD. WE'LL MAKE JESUS PROUD. WE BLESS YOU ALL TODAY. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE A PART.[APPLAUDING]. >> IF WE COULD HAVE ALL THE LAMB SONS AND DAUGHTERS COME UP, ALL YOUR SPOUSES. THEY'RE COMING UP TO SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THEIR DAD. JONATHAN, WOULD YOU MINE GOING FIRST? >> WELL, I HAVE TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO HONORED TO BE ABLE TO STAND HERE AND HONOR MY FATHER. MARCUS LAMB WAS TRULY A LIFE WELL LIVED. YOU KNOW MY DAD WAS A VERY LOVING FATHER. HE HAD MANY CUTE NICKNAMES FOR ME. HE TAULD ME TWO DADDY'S PAL, CUTE OH, FLASH. AS 36 YEAR OLD MAN HE CALLED ME JONATHAN KADIDDLOPTERMY FATHER ALWAYS TAUGHT AND PRAYED OVER ME AND TAUGHT ME TO WALK HUMBLY BEFORE GOD DEPENDING ON HIM ALONE.HE TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING FAMILY FIRST BEFORE MINISTRY.HE WAS A PRINCIPLE MAN AND THESE ARE A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT DEEPLY IMPACTED ME ABOUT HIM. HE NEVER SPOKE ILL OF OTHERS. HE NEVER UTTERED A SINGLE CURSE WORD.HE NEVER TOUCHED ALCOHOL. AND HE NEVER GAVE UP. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT MY FATHER. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE MY HEART OF THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE DAYSTAR CAME WHAT IT IS TODAY. IN THE SMALL BEGINNINGS, HE WAS A MAN WITH A VISION FROM GOD WITH NO MONEY. NO CONNECTIONS. AND A YOUNG WIFE WHO WAS PREGNANT WITH ME. IN FACT, WHEN HE FIRST FOUND OUT JONI WAS PREGNANT, HE SLID DOWN THE WALL, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MONEY OR INCOME FOR HOSPITAL BILLS. BUT HE WAS A GENIUS. HE WOULD GO TO A LOCAL NEWS STATION DISPOSING OF THEIR BARELY FUNCTIONING OLD CAMERAS THAT REQUIRED DAILY MAINTENANCE JUST TO GET A WORKING VIDEO SIGNAL OUT OF THEM. AND THAT'S WHAT HE WENT ON AIR WHEN HE FIRST STARTED CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. I'VE SEEN FOOTAGE OF MY MOTHER FULLY PGNANT WITH ME PUSHING ME ON A LADDER WHEN MARCUS WOULD BE UP IN THE RAFTERS ADJUSTING LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL.THEY DIDN'T GET PAID FOR YEARS AND YEARS YET THEY WORKED SO HARD, AND GOD PROVIDED FOR ALL OF THEIR NEEDS.MY DAD TOLD ME HE HAD TWO BABIES BORN A WEEK APART.THEIR FIRST TELEVISION STATION AND ME. I WAS ALONG FOR THE RIDE FROM DAY ONE AND IN THE EARLY DAYS MAKES ME SO PROUD OF MY FATHER AND THE MAN HE WAS. BY TRUSTING GOD DAY BY DAY AND PARTNERING WITH HIM, DAYSTAR BECAME WHAT IT IS TODAY, REACHING EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WERE INNATE IN MY FATHER WERE HIS GRIT, PURE DETERMINATION AND UNWILLINGNESS TO COMPROMISE THE WORD OF GOD AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT WHAT I REALLY LOVED ABOUT MY DAD WAS HIS HUMILITY. HE TOLD ME THAT EVERY TIME HE WOULD PULL ON TO THE DAYSTAR PROPERTY, HE WOULD BE OVERWHELMED WITH GRATITUDE THAT THE LORD HAD ENTRUSTED HIM WITH MUCH. NOW, ON THE GOLF COURSE, DAD WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT STORY.THERE HE DIDN'T HOLD BACK HIS FIERCELY COMPETITIVE NATURE AS PASTOR JIMMY ALLUDED TO EARLIER, NEITHER DID HE NOT LET OTHERS KNOW ABOUT HIS ENCORE SUCCESS. HE TRULY HAD A PROFOUND LOVE FOR THE GAME AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT. WE HAD FOUR-HOUR UNINTERRUPTED WINDOW OF TIME EVERY WEEK SINCE I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. A FEW WEEKS AGO HE SAID I WAS HIS FAVORITE PERSON TO GOLF WITH.THAT MEANT SO MUCH. HE TRULY LOVED PLAYING THE GREAT GAME OF GOLF BESIDES FAMILY AND MINISTRY. MARCUS LAMB WAS GOD'S GENERAL FROM PREACHING AT SMALL WORLD CHURCHES TO MASSIVE STADIUMS AND MINISTERED TO MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD IN 36 YEARS OF TELEVISION MINISTRY AND REACHED OUT TO PASTORS IN PERSONAL LEVELS WITH MARRIAGES, FINANCIAL MATTERS OR SPIRITUAL ADVICE. DAD, YOU LEFT A GREAT LEGACY. FROM MY CHILDHOOD YOU WOULD TALK TO ME ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TELL ME HOW ONE DAY I WOULD STEP INTO YOUR SHOES. I THOUGHT THAT ONE DAY WOULD COME MUCH FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. BUT HERE WE ARE TODAY. SO NOW, AS YOU'VE TAUGHT ME, AND AS THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS ME, I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, MOM, THE FAMILY, AND I'LL WALK HUMBLY BEFORE GOD CARRYING YOUR MANTEL FORWARD.I LOVE YOU, DAD. [APPLAUDING]. >> I MET MARCUS 11 YEARS AGO. JONATHAN WANTED MANY INTRODUCE ME TO HIS PARENTS SO HE INVITED ME OVER FOR DINNER. AND NOW 22 YEAR OLD SUZY WAS ALWAYS RUNNING LATE, AS USUAL I WAS LATE BACK THEN. I WAS ABOUT 10, 15 MINUTES LATE BACK THEN. I CAME TO THE HOUSE. I'M SO SORRY. I WAS RUNNING LATE. I WAS SPEEDING. I GOT PULLED OVER. I GOT A TICKET. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M MORE LATE BECAUSE OF THAT TICKET.I'M SORRY. HE JUST SMILED, O NO. ACTUALLY IT WAS OKAY BECAUSE I WAS GOING 65 IN 50 AND GOT A TICKET AND TOTALLY DESERVED IT. HE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED AN SAID, I RESPECT THAT. YOU TOOK RESPONSIBILITY. AND MY HEART OPENED UP BECAUSE HE WAS SO POSITIVE.I WAS JUST THINKING, WHY DID I EVEN TELL HIM THAT? HE WAS SO AFFIRMING. SINCE DAY ONE UNTIL THE LAST, LAST DAY, HE WAS ALWAYS SPEAKING LIFE, ALWAYS AFFIRMING THE STRENGTHS IN ME. HE LOVED ME LIKE A DAUGHTER. I FELT HIS LOVE. HE CARED FOR EVERY NEED. I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT MY CAT WALLEY.I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING. HE INTRODUCED ME TO A LOT OF COOL THINGS. I LIKE FOOD AND HE LIKES IT TO, LIKED IT. WE GO TO BABE'S CHICKEN AND I LIKE THE HOT BISCUIT. NO, SUZY, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. DON'T JUST PUT THE BUTTER IN THERE.OPEN IT UP AND POOR THE HONEY ALL OVER IT. THAT WAS EXCELLENT. NOW I CAN'T DO IT ANY OTHER WAY. THEN I WAS 23, WHEN I GREW UP IN INDIA I DIDN'T EAT RED MEAT. AT 23 HE MADE ME TRY MY FIRST STEAK. YOU REALLY HAVE TO TRY IT. PLEADS. PLEASE. I DID. MY LIFE WAS CHANGED. I NEVER WENT BACK. FROM FOOD TO SPIRITUAL THINGS, TO JUST FUN THINGS, HE WAS ALWAYS POURING LOVE AND JOY INTO US.HE CARED ABOUT EVERYTHING. HE WOULD SEND ME EMAILS, SO MANY EMAILS. AND THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL. I TOOK SCREEN SHOTS. HE SENT ME AN EMAIL, HE SENT ARTICLES HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE. HOW TO BE A GOOD PREACHER, SPEAKER AND HE WOULD ALWAYS WRITE, THIS IS FOR MY PREACHER GIRL. AND YOU KNOW I WOULD READ THAT AND WRáUS SMILE.JUST SMILE. BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH MORE NOW. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL TO HAVE A FATHER SPEAK SOMETHING OVER YOU. AND OF COURSE, THAT EMAIL WOULD BE FOLLOWED UP WITH A CAT THAT WENT VIRAL FROM DOING SOMETHING. HE BALANCED IT ALL BEAUTIFULLY. SOME OF THE MOST PRECIOUS TIMES OF MY WHOLE LIFE WILL BE THOSE LAST THREE WEEKS I GOT WITH HIM BECAUSE I REALLY THANKFUL TO JONI FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE IN THAT ROOM.I TRIED TO HELP HER SO SHE COULD CATCH UP ON A LITTLE REST BUT HIS EYES WERE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR JONI, NO MATTER WHAT. SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE, SO PATIENT, SO LOVING. IN THOSE LAST FEW DAYS HE SPOKE SUCH BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS WORDS. MY LAST NIGHT WITH HIM WAS 3:30 IN THE MORNING. HE LOOKED AT ME, SUZY, HE WAS SO SERIOUS. I NEED MY SHOES AND I NEED MY BIBLE.I HAVE TO GO PREACH. I SAID, ABSOLUTELY. HE SAID, NO, I'M SERIOUS, I NEED IT. I SAID, OKAY, YES, SIR, IT'S 3:30 IN THE MORNING. CAN WE WAIT UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK? OKAY, I'LL HOLD YOU TO THAT. THE FEW DAYS, WE'LL EAT THANKSGIVING PIE TOGETHER WE'LL GO EAT STEAK TOGETHER.AND THOSE NIGHTS WERE SO HARD. JUST BEING STRONG THERE BUT GOING AND CRYING AFTER. IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE SUCH A STRONG MAN GO THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. GOD WAS PRESENT WITH HIM. OUR FAMILY GOT TO SPEND BEAUTIFUL TIME WITH HIM AND I'LL THANK GOD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE FOR THE GIFT I HAD WITH HIM. AND I KNOW THAT IF GOD CALLED HIM HOME, IT WAS FOR A VERY, VERY STRONG AMAZING REASON. AND ONE DAY WE'LL KNOW. GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS. WE'LL UNDERSTAND SOME DAY. AND WE THANK GOD WE GOT TO ENJOY MARCUS AS LONG AS WE DID. LOVE YOU, POPPY. [APPLAUDING] >> THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY.I KNOW MY DAD WOULD BE SO COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED TO SEE SO MANY OF YOU. ALL HIS FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS. SO MUCH OF OUR DAYSTAR TEAM AND ALL THE AMAZING MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD THAT HE ADMIRED SO MUCH. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HONORED AND TOUCHED HE WOULD BE TO SEE HOW LOVED HE WAS BY SO MANY. FOR ME MY DAD IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST PERSON TO TALK ABOUT, BECAUSE HE WAS MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD. HE WAS FIERCELY DETERMINED, VERY TENDER HEARTED AND SO FUNNY. HE ALWAYS LOVED MAKING JOKES. I REMEMBER THERE WAS THIS ONE MOMENT HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. THE NURSES KEPT COMING IN THE ROOM AND ASK HIM QUESTIONS. AND ONE OF THEM SAID, MR. LAMB, WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? AND IN HIS QUICK WITTED STYLE HE BOLDLY SAID, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT WAS JUST MY DAD. BEING HIMSELF. FINDING HUMOR IN THE MOST SERIOUS MOMENTS. HE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. ESPECIALLY WHAT'S POSSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE A GOD-GIVEN DREAM AND YOU PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD TO SEE IT THROUGH. HE CAME FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, BUT NEVER LET HIS CIRCUMSTANCES DETERMINE HIS DESTINY. WHEN GOD PUT A VISION OF HIS FUTURE IN HIS HEART HE AND MY MOM PURSUED IT AND DAYSTAR WAS BORN.AND IT'S BEEN A DREAM. COME TRUE TO WORK WITH MY DAD. AND LEARN FROM HIS WISDOM AND INSIGHT. YOU KNOW, HE ALWAYS SAID I WAS 99 PERCENT LIKE HIM. AND 1 PERCENT LIKE MY MOM. THAT MUST BE WHY IT FEELS LIKE I LOST SUCH A HUGE PART OF MYSELF. HE HELPED ME BECOME WHO I AM. AND HE TAUGHT ME THERE'S SOME THINGS IN LIFE YOU JUST CAN'T CALCULATE. HE WOULD SAY, RACHEL, WE HAVE TO DO OUR BEST AND LET GOD DO THE REST.WE ALL KNOW WHAT A GENEROUS HEART MY DAD HAD. HE LOVED TO GIVE. BUT UNTIL NOW I DIDN'T REALIZE THE DEPTH OF THE PERSONAL IMPACT HE MADE ON PEOPLE'S LIVES. OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE MARVELED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO TEXT ME SAYING THINGS LIKE, YOU HELPED ME.OR YOU BELIEVED IN ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD. HE WAS ALSO AN AMAZING BUSINESSMAN, A TRAILBLAZER FOR THE GOSPEL AND PIONEER IN TELEVISION MINISTRY, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERED TO HIM AS MUCH AS HAVING ALL OF US FOLLOWING THE LORD AND SERVING ALONGSIDE HIM IN THE MINISTRY. HIS FAMILY IS HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT. AND WHILE HE'LL NO DOUBT BE REMEMBERED FOR SO MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HIS LOVE FOR PEOPLE, HIS COMMITMENT TO TAKE THE GOSPEL AROUND THE WORLD, I'LL REMEMBER HIM FOR HIS TENDER PART TOWARDS THE LORD. HOW HE WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND HIS RELENTLESS TO LIVE FOR JESUS. THE MOST I'LL MISS IS OUR SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER. AFTER EVERY ROUND OF GOLF HE WOULD PLAY, I WOULD GET A CALL ON HIS WAY HOME.THAT WAS OUR TIME. WE WOULD TALK ABOUT OUR DAY. HE WOULD TELL ME HOW HE PLAYED. AND HE WOULD ASK HOW JUDAH WAS DOING. I'LL MISS THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE WHEN HE CALLED ME HIS RACHEL GIRL. WATCHING MY MOM WALK THROUGH THIS OVER THE LAST MONTH HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF INCREDIBLE. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH STRENGTH AND LOVE AND DEVOTION.I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, MOM. TO SEE YOU TAKE UP THE MANTEL OF LEADERSHIP IN THE FACE OF SUCH LOSS. AND TO WATCH YOUR PASSION FOR PEOPLE ONLY GROW STRONGER. I'M IN AWE. WE ARE ALL STANDING WITH YOU. AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE IN THE DAYS TO COME. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I GOT MY STRENGTH TO DAD BUT I'M STARTING TO THINK I GOT SOME OF THAT FROM YOU TOO. I WAS WITH MY DAD EVERY SINGLE DAY WHILE HE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL. AND I MADE HIM PROMISE HE WOULD FIGHT.AND HE SAID, I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON GOD. AND I WOULD REMIND HIM OF WHO HE WAS. I WOULD SAY YOU'RE A HUSBAND. YOU'RE A DAD. YOU'RE A POPPY. YOU ARE A SON OF GOD. YOU ARE A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL. YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR. AND AS HE NEARED THE END, HE SAID, I KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME. BUT HE'S HEALING ME. AND I WILL DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD. STANDING HERE TODAY, I BELIEVE THAT STILL HOLDS TRUE. GOD DID HEAL MY DAD. AND HE WILL DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD, AS HIS LEGACY SPEAKS THROUGH THE LIVES OF HI CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, DAD. I'LL MISS YOU EVERY DAY. BUT I KNOW THIS ISN'T GOODBYE. AND I'LL HOLD IN MY HEART THE CERTAINTY OF THIS HOPE THAT I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN.[APPLAUDING] >> WOW. WHAT DO YOU SAY AFTER YOU HEAR YOUR WIFE JUST POUR OUT HER HEART LIKE THAT?INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU, HOLY SPIRIT. MARCUS LAMB LOVED GOD. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY. AND HE HAD SUCH A GREAT BIG HEART TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS.YOU KNOW, HE STUDIED THE WORD OF GOD LIKE NO ONE I EVER MET BEFORE. WHEN I FIRST JOINED THE FAMILY ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, I WAS TOLD, HE HAD MEMORIZED OVER 7 THOUSAND BIBLE VERSES. I GOT TO TELL YOU, I FOUND THAT HARD TO WRAP MY MIND AROUND. SEVEN THOUSAND BIBLE VERSES? THAT'S A LOT. BUT OVER THE YEARS, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WAS WITH HIM, HE WOULD QUOTE SOME SORT OF SCRIPTURE TO ME. HE LIVED WHAT HE PREACHED. AND I SAW THAT FIRSTHAND. TYPICALLY, SO I'VE HEARD, IN-LAWS, WELL, YOU KNOW, IN-LAWS, RIGHT?I SEE A FEW PEOPLE WIGGLING IN THEIR SEATS.YOU KNOW, I JUST LOVED BEING AROUND MARCUS. HE WAS ONE OF THE FAVORITE PEOPLE TO BE AROUND, BECAUSE HE BROUGHT LIFE.HE BROUGHT TRUTH. AND HE BROUGHT JESUS' LOVE WHEREVER HE WENT. HE WAS A GREAT GUY. MOST PEOPLE KNOW MARCUS BECAUSE HE AND JONI STARTED, PIONEERED AND RAN DAYSTAR. AND WHENEVER I JOKE AROUND AND CALL HIM A GENIUS TO HIS FACE, HE WOULD CONSISTENTLY RESPOND WITH PULL OUT HIS INDEX FINGER THAT WAS SLIGHTLY CURVED. JOSH, WITH THAT MARCUS LAMB SMILE AND SPARKLE IN HIS EYE, NOW REMEMBER THIS, DAYSTAR ISN'T JUST RUN BY ME AN JONI. WE HAVE THE BEST ADVISOR IN THE WORLD.THE HOLY SPIRIT. DAYSTAR IS NOT OURS, JOSH. IT'S GOD'S. AND GOD TAKES CARE OF WHAT IS HIS.THAT'S SUCH A COMFORT TO ME. AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, NOW MOVING FORWARD UNDER JONI'S LEADERSHIP SUPPORTED BY OUR FAMILY UNIFIED AS ONE AND DAYSTAR FAMILY, WE'LL CONTINUE MARCUS' LEGACY GOING FROM GLORY TO GLORY, REACHING MORE PEOPLE EVERY YEAR WITH IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.THIS HAS JUST BEGUN. WHAT GOD STARTED, HE'LL CONTINUE, WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR EVIL, GOD CAN TURN IT AROUND FOR GOOD. AND WHEN WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON, WE'LL CHOOSE TO TRUST IN GOD. EVEN IN OUR SORROW AND OUR GRIEF.WE'LL DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD. THAT'S WHAT MARCUS TAUGHT US. WE'LL CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD. JESUS, GOD, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE CHAMPION OF FAITH THAT MARCUS IS.HE'S YOUR SERVANT. YOUR SON. JONI'S HUSBAND. OUR FATHER AND FATHER-IN-LAW AND OUR CHILDREN'S POPPY. ALL OF YOUR FRIEND AND GREAT LEADER AND EVANGELIST.AND GOD, WE THANK YOU. WE GIVE YOU GLORY FOR MARCUS LAMB.[APPLAUDING] >> JIMMY, BEFORE I FORGET, WHILE I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO BEAT YOU IN GOLF, THE WOO WILL LIVE ON. I'LL CONTINUE THAT WOO FOREVER. MARCUS LAMB INSTALLED SOME PASSIONS INTO ME. ONE WAS GOLF AND OTHER IS FAN OF GEORGIA BULL DOGS. I'LL PASS THAT DOWN TO ASHER AND THE KIDS AS WELL.JONI, I WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOU SO, SO MUCH.I KNOW MARCUS IS THE MAN HE WAS AND HE WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL HE WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE HE HAD YOU BY HIS SIDE. YOU WERE THE ONE HE WOULD TALK ABOUT. EVERYONE SAID IT EVERY TIME ON THE GOLF COURSE. YOU ARE THE ONE HE DEDICATED EVERY SHOT TO.YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON HE WOULD TELL US HE WAS TEXTING ON THE GOLF COURSE. AND YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SO GLAD WE HAVE YOU TO BE HERE WITH US. AND JUST KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE FOR YOU. WE LOVE YOU SO, SO MUCH. YOU KNOW, THE STORY I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IS MY FAVORITE MARCUS LAMB STORY. WE WERE IN ISRAEL, FIRST TIME IN ISRAEL TOGETHER. AND I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO ASK REBECCA TO MARRY ME. BEFORE I DID THAT, I HAD TO GET MARCUS' PERMISSION. JONI BEING THE MASTER STRATEGIST SHE IS, HELPED ME FIGURE THIS OUT. WE HAD MARCUS IN THE ROOM. SHE ORDERED UP A HOT CHOCOLATE FOR MARCUS AND AMERICANA FOR MYSELF AND I'M PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.THIS IS THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE. I'LL ASK MARCUS LAMB FOR HIS DAUGHTER'S HAND IN MARRIAGE. WE SIT DOWN. WE START WITH SMALL TALK. THE REAL REASON I WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU THIS MORNING, MARCUS IS I WANTED TO ASK REBECCA'S HAND IN MARRIAGE. HE LOOKED AT ME IN THE FACE WITH THE TEXAS ACCENT, DO YOU WANT HER HAND OR THE WHOLE THING? I KNEW RIGHT AWAY I LOVED THAT GUY.WOW, I LOVE THAT WAS HIS ANSWER. AND WE WENT ON TO TALK PROBABLY THE LONGEST CONVERSATION WE EVER HAD. LIKE TWO HOURS I THINK IN THE ROOM. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF ME REALLY BEING KNITTED TO THIS FAMILY. AND JUST STEPPING INTO MY CALLING. STEPPING INTO MY LIFE WITH REBECCA AND OUR FAMILY. YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING. WE'RE ON THE FINAL NIGHT OF HANUKKAH AND I REMEMBER SEVEN NIGHTS AGO WE WERE IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM AND I REMEMBER BELIEVING THIS WOULD BE A MIRACLE MOMENT THAT MARCUS WOULD BE HEALED. I FULLY BELIEVED HE WOULD WALK OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL AND WE WERE ALL GOING TO BE UNITED AGAIN. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE MIRACLE WOULD BE HIM GOING TO HEAVEN. I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THE LORD LATER BECAUSE I'M NOT SUPER PLEASED WITH IT BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.THIS IS WHAT I FELT IN MY SPIRIT AFTER.IF YOU KNOW THE SPIRIT OF HANUKKAH. EVIL FORCES OF THE TIME DEFILED THE TEMPLE AND TRIED TO RUIN THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND STOP TORAH, STOP PRAISING GOD. AND THERE WAS A REMNANT THAT STOOD UP. THE MACK BEE REMNANT STOOD UP WE'LL NOT STAND FOR THIS. THEY FOUGHT. THEY FOUGHT AND THEY BROUGHT THE TEMPLE BACK TO THE LORD. THEY REDEDICATED TO THE LORD. AND THE LORD SHOWED ME MARCUS WAS A MODERN DAY MACCABEE. HE WAS NOT GOING TO SIT BACK AND SIT DOWN AND LET THE EVIL FORCES OF THIS TIME RUN A RACQUET. HE WOULD NOT LET THE CANCEL CULTURE OR PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY OR GETTING RID OF UNBORN CHILDREN NONE OF THAT. HE STOOD AND FOUGHT. MY PRAY FOR ALL OF US TODAY REBECCA AND I AND ALL OF US, THIS MANTEL PASSES TO ALL OF US, WE ARE ONE BODY AND STAND TO FIGHT AS MODERN DAY MACCABEES AS MARCUS SAID WE BRING LIGHT INTO DARKNESS. ON BEHALF OF MARCUS AND HONORING THE LORD I BELIEVE ALL OF US CAN DO THAT TOGETHER.[APPLAUDING]. LAST THING FOR MARCUS, GO BULLDOGS AND WOO! >> WOW. WHEN I WALKED OUT HERE I WAS SO TOUCHED BECAUSE I SAW SO MANY DIFFERENT LEADERS.AND MY DAD REALLY DID LOVE YOU GUYS. I SAW HIM TALK ABOUT YA'LL. AND HE HAD A HEART FOR THE CHURCH. HE LOVED ALL DENOMINATIONS, ALL CULTURES, ALL PEOPLE. HE REALLY HAD GODS HEART. AND I KNOW HE WOULD BE SO HONORED TO SEE YOU GUYS HERE TODAY. I'M SO THANKFUL THAT WE CAN AGREE ON WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT AND WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS THE BODY TO FURTHER THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. I WANT TO READ A VERSE THAT MAKES ME THINK OF MY DAD'S LIFE. I GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER. OKAY. 2 TIMOTHY 4:6-8 PAUL WRITES FOR I'M ALREADY BEING POURED OUT AS A DRINK OFFERING AND THE TIME OF MY DEPARTURE IS AT HAND. I FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. I FINISHED THE RACE, FINALLY LAID UP FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WILL GIVE TO ME ON THAT DAY.AND NOT TO ME ONLY BUT ALSO TO ALL WHO HAVE LONGED FOR HIS APPEARING.THAT WAS MY DAD. [APPLAUDING]. >> I THINK HE GOT THAT CROWN AND HE POUR OUT HIS LIFE LIKE A DRINK OFFERING. YOU KNOW, MY DAD WAS A FEARLESS LEADER. YOU KNOW HE WOULD JOKE ABOUT BEING SMALL.BUT HE WAS MIGHTY IN SPIRIT. AND I'M JUST SO PROUD OF HOW HE CONDUCTED HIMSELF ALL THESE YEARS. I'M REALLY PROUD HOW STRONG HE WAS OF HIS BELIEFS NEAR THE END OF HIS LIFE. HE DIDN'T LET ANYTHING STOP HIM. I HONORED HIM HE WOULDN'T LET THE FEAR OF MAN OR ANYTHING ANYONE SAY ABOUT HIM STOP HIM FROM SAYING AND DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT. MY DAD TRULY FEARED AND HONORED GOD. THAT WAS TRULY THE LEADER HE WAS AND WHO WE NEEDED. AND I'M SO THANKFUL. AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, DAD. I'M SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. AND WHILE MY DAD WAS THIS BOLD, STRONG LEADER, GREAT GOLFER, PUBLICLY, MY FAVORITE PART OF MY DAD WAS ACTUALLY WHO HE WAS PRIVATELY.I DON'T THINK IT'S COMMON FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS ABOUT SOMEONE BUT MY BEST VERSION OF WHO HE WAS IS MY DAD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BECAUSE I GOT TO LIVE WITH HIM A FEW YEARS BEFORE I GOT MARRIED TO JONATHAN. MY DAD WAS SHY AND INTROVERTED YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF BECAUSE OF HOW HE WAS ON STAGE. BUT THE BEST VERSION WAS IN THE COMFORT OF HIS OWN HOME. THAT'S WHERE HE WAS MOST COMFORTABLE. HE WOULD JOKE. HE WOULD LAUGH. HE WOULD TELL STORIES. HE WOULD SING. MOM CAN TELL YOU. HE WOULD SING ALL THE TIME. AND ALL THE KIDS HAD THEIR OWN SPECIAL SONGS. I'M GOING TO MISS HEARING THAT SO MUCH. AND HE WAS EXTREMELY TENDER HEARTED. AND HE LOVED PEOPLE. HE WAS ALMOST CHILDLIKE IN HIS HEART.HE WAS THE KINDEST SWEETEST SOUL. I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE GOT TO SEE THAT SO I WANTED TO SHARE WHO HE WAS, BECAUSE IT WAS THE SWEETEST THING.WHEN WE, WHEN I WALKED OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, AFTER DAD HAD PASSED, YOU KNOW, TIMES IN MY LIFE BEING HONEST IMMATURE SOMETIMES I WOULD GET MAD AT GOD OVER STUPID THINGS, OVER LITTLE THINGS. WHEN I LEFT THE HOSPITAL, I THOUGHT ABOUT JESUS AND I THOUGHT, GOD, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU. I THOUGHT ON DEREK PRINCE SERMON CALLED IT COST ALL HE HAD AND TALKS ABOUT THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS. WHEN THEY PIERCED JESUS IN THE SIDE AND BLOOD FLOWED OUT AND WATER FLOWED OUT, DEREK SAID HE BELIEVED THAT EVERY SINGLE DROP OF HIS BLOOD WAS SHED. AND I TOLD JESUS, THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE YOU PAID THAT I CAN SEE MY DAD AGAIN. AND THAT THIS IS NOT THE END. BUT IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. ROMANS 11. WHO CAN KNOW THE MIND OF GOD? I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS GOD'S TIMING.AND I DO BELIEVE THAT IT DOES NOT STOP WHEN WE GO TO HEAVEN. I THINK IT'S JUST BEGINNING. I THINK WE HAVE SOMEONE INTERCEDING FOR ALL OF US AND HELP PREPARE THE WAY OF WHAT GOD WILL DO IN THE COMING AGE. I THINK IT WILL BE GLORIOUS AND WE HAVE A LOT TO DO AND A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO.I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND YET, I HAVE TO SAY THIS. MOM, BILLY BURKE SAID, WHEN DAD PASSED, HIS LIFE WAS LIKE A SEED GOING INTO THE GROUND. AND THAT SEED IS GOING TO GROW AND DO MORE THAN HECOULD EVEN DO WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. AND I'M SO THANKFUL THE LEGACY WILL CONTINUE ON.THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AND THEN I'M DONE, IS SOMEONE WHO WAS DEEPLY, DEEPLY IMPORTANT TO MY FATHER.AND I WITNESSED THIS FIRSTHAND GROWING UP WITH HIM, IN HIS LIFE, PERSONAL LIFE AN MINISTRY AND THAT WAS THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. MY DAD WOULD PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. THEY WERE FRIENDS. AND MY DAD WOULD HUMBLE HIMSELF AND GOD WAS ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO ANSWER MY DAD. I SAW HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY BE A BY PRODUCT OF HIS INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND LISTENING AND OBEYING. I KNOW THAT'S WHY HE WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT HE DID. ONE OF THE THINGS DAD SHARED WITH ME BEFORE HE PASSED, TIME OF HIS PASSING, IS THAT HE BEEN SADDENED SEE SOME CHURCHES DRIFT AWAY FROM THE MINISTRY AND THE PERSONHOOD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I KNOW IF HE WAS HERE RIGHT NOW HE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO NOT GIVE UP THE PERSON AND THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. [APPLAUDING]. >> IT SAYS IN ZECHARIAH, NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD.I BELIEVE WE'RE IN A TIME WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT MORE THAN EVER.A TIME OF DECEPTION. HE'S THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND TIME OF PAIN, HE'S THE GREAT COMFORT. AND IN A TIME WE NEED THE SUPERNATURAL WORKING OF GOD, HE IS THE MIRACLE WORKER. [APPLAUDING]. >> FINALLY, WHEN JESUS GAVE US THE GREAT COMMISSION AND HE SAID GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL, WE'LL DO THAT. WE'LL GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS AND WE'LL KEEP GOING.BUT THE WAY WE DO THAT. AND THE WAY JESUS FULFILLS HIS SWEET PROMISE TO US, HE'LL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE IS THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.THANK YOU. [APPLAUDING] >> TWO THINGS VERY IMPORTANT TO MARCUS WERE ISRAEL AND THE PRAYER OF BLESSING. PASTOR JOHN HAGEE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT ISRAEL AND IS A CLOSE FRIEND OF MARCUS AND JONI AND PRAYED PRAYERS OF BLESSINGS OVER EACH OF THE LAMB CHILDREN. THEIR SPOUSES AT THE WEDDING. PLEASE WELCOME PASTOR HAGEE AS HE COMES TO SHARE AND PRAY A PRAYER OF BLESSING. [APPLAUDING]. >> IT'S THE SOVEREIGN WILL OF GOD THAT EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LISTENING BY TELEVISION LIVE UNDER THE POWER OF THE BLESSING OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD. THE COURSE OF HISTORY HAS BEEN SHAPED BY THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY WITH A SPOKEN BLESSING. IN GENESIS OF TIME, GOD CREATED ADAM AND EVE AND BLESSED THEM SAYING, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.ADAM AND EVE BECAME THE GENERAL MANAGERS OF THE UNIVERSE THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD'S BLESSING. WHEN GOD WANTED TO FORM A NATION, THAT NATION TO BE CALLED ISRAEL, HE CALLED THAT NATION, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE NATION THAT WOULD BLESS THE WORLD THROUGH THE WRITING OF THE BIBLE, THROUGH THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL. THAT WOULD GIVE US JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WOULD BE HERE TODAY. AND HE BLESSED ABRAHAM, THE FATHER OF ALL WHO BELIEVE, WITH THE BLESSING OF GENESIS 12, WHICH HAS LITERALLY DETERMINED THE DESTINY OF THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD UNTIL THIS DAY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF GENESIS 12, YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE REST OF THE BIBLE.BECAUSE THAT IS THE BLESSING ABOUT WHICH NATIONS RISE OR FALL.I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU. AND I WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. AND IN YOU SHALL ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED. I BELIEVE THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD RESTED UPON DAYSTAR AND UPON MARCUS LAMB. FOR HIS OBEDIENCE AND BLESSING ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE. I BELIEVE THAT BLESSING IS GOING TO REMAIN ON THE LIFE OF JONI. AND I BELIEVE THE BEST DAYS OF THIS NETWORK ARE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP AND THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON YOU AND THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN. [APPLAUDING] FROM ADAM AND EVE THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM TO JACOB, THE POWER OF THE PROPHETIC BLESSING TO SHAPE THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD PREVAILS. JACOB CALLED 12 SONS INTO HIS BEDROOM ON THE DAY OF HIS BLESSING AND SPOKE A PROPHETIC BLESSING OVER THEM THAT CHANGED THEIR LIVES AND SHAPED THEIR LIVES FOREVER. GENESIS 49:1 SAYS JACOB CALLED HIS 12 SONS AND SAID, GATHER TOGETHER THAT WHICH I MAY TELL YOU WHICH WILL BE FALL YOU IN THE LAST DAYS.IF YOU FOLLOW THE WORDS OF JACOB OVER THOSE BOYS, THAT CONTROLLED THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL FOR THE REST OF TIME.KING DAVID WHO IS A PROPHET, A STATESMAN, A POET, PUTS HIS PEN TO PAHMENT AND SAID DELIGHT IS THE MAN... HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF LIVING WATER IN WHATEVER THEY DO SHALL PROSPER. 33 GENERATIONS REMOVED, JESUS OF NAZARETH SAT ON A ROCK BY THE SEA OF GALILEE. AND HE GAVE THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, WHICH AMOUNTS TO EIGHT PROPHETIC BLESSINGS. THOSE EIGHT PROPHETIC BLESSINGS HAVE THE POWER TO BRING SUPERNATURAL JOY, PEACE OF MIND, CONFIDENCE AND COURAGE THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN, BECAUSE THEY ARE GIVEN OF GOD. THEN CAME THE APOSTLE PAUL BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS WHO PUT HIS PEN TO PARCHMENT AND WROTE MOST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AND BEGINS EVERY ONE OF THOSE EPISTLES WITH A BLESSING FROM GOD. AND THE FINAL WRAP UP OF THE BIBLE, THE BOOK OF REVELATION, THE APOSTLE JOHN ON THE ISLAND OF PATMOS WRITES THAT JESUS CHRIST, THE REVELATION, BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND HEARS THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY. EVEN TO THE LAST BOOK. THE POWER OF THE BLESSING IS JUST AS RELEVANT TODAY. FOR THE PEOPLE OF FAITH AS IT WAS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND ON THE ISLAND OF PATMOS. IT IS GOD'S WILL TO BLESS AND TO SUPERNATURALLY DIRECT THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF THE PROPHETIC BLESSING. I WOULD LIKE NOW TO BLESS THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MARCUS AND JONI LAMB FOR THE FUTURE OF THEIR LIVES AND THE FUTURE OF THIS CHRISTIAN NETWORK, FOR THE FUTURE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THE UNITED STATES OF MANY ERBG. CHILDREN, WILL YOU PLEASE COME. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU. MAY THE LORD KEEP YOU. MAY THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU. AND MAY THE LORD BE GRACIOUS UNTO YOU AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE. MAY THE ANGELS OF GOD GO BEFORE YOU TO PREPARE YOUR WAY AND GO BEHIND YOU TO BE YOUR REAR GUARD. MAY HE BLESS YOUR GOING IN AND COMING OUT.MAY THE WORD OF GOD BE A WORD UNTO YOUR FEET AND A LIGHT TO YOUR PATHWAY. AS YOU MAKE CHOICES THAT WILL SHAPE THE DESTINY OF YOUR FAMILY.AND AS THIS CHRISTIAN NETWORK GOES FORWARD, MAY THE UNLIMITED BLESSINGS OF THE LORD REST UPON YOU AND CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR HOUSE AS YOU BLESSED THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. FOR ZION'S SAKE YOU'LL NOT KEEP SILENT. AND FOR JERUSALEM'S SAKE, YOU WILL NOT REMAIN QUIET.MAY THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM BE YOURS. IT MAY BE TO YOUR CHILDREN. AS GENERATIONALLY YOU'VE RECEIVED THE CONTINUED BLESSINGS OF GOD. MAY THE BLESSINGS OF KING DAVID SHAPE YOUR DESTINY. MAY YOU BE LIKE TREES PLANTED BY RIVERS OF LIVING WATER THAT BRING FORTH ITS FRUIT IN ITS SEASON, WHOSE LEAF SHALL NOT WITHER, AND WHATSOEVER YOU DO FROM THIS DAY FORWARD WILL PROSPER AND BE EXCEEDINGLY BLESSED. RECEIVE THIS BLESSING IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. AND LET ALL OF THE BODY OF CHRIST SAY, AMEN, AMEN. GOD BLESS.

WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.IT'S A PRIVILEGE AND HONOR TO LIFT MY VOICE TO THE MANY COURTS OF VOICES AROUND THE WORLD WHO WERE SHOCKED AND DEVASTATED AT THE LOSS OF MARCUS LAMB. BUT OUR LOSS IS HEAVEN'S GAIN. I DO WANT TO SAY I HAVE KNOWN MARCUS AND JONI FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. I WATCHED HIM DO AMAZING THINGS. NOT WITHOUT HER BUT TOGETHER THEY BUILT AN EMPIRE THAT TOUCHED THE WORLD FOR JESUS CHRIST.AND CONTINUES TO TOUCH THE WORLD. BUT IT IS NOT JUST WHAT HE BUILT THAT I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT. IT WAS MORE IN PARTICULAR WHO HE IS. MARCUS HAD A WAY OF TEXTING ME ALL THE TIME. WHENEVER HE PREACHED AT ANYBODY'S CHURCH, HE WOULD TELL ME TO BE PRAYING FOR HIM. HE WOULD TEXT ME WHEN HE WAS ON THE GOLF COURSE TRYING DESPERATELY TO DEBT ME TO PLAY GOLF.I THINK HE WANTED ME TO PLAY BECAUSE I'M REALLY, REALLY BAD. AND HE KNEW IF HE PLAYED ME, IT WAS A GUARANTEED WIN. HE INCLUDED ME. HE WAS A READER, THINKER, ALWAYS TELLING ME WHAT BOOKS HE WAS READING OR ASKING ME TO RECOMMEND BOOKS ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS BECAUSE HE WAS A BROAD THINKER. WE HAD THE KIND OF FRIENDSHIP WE OFTEN DIDN'T AGREE ABOUT THINGS AND OFTEN DEBATE THINGS BUT NEVER TO THE DEGREE WE SEPARATED. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY THAT WE FIND A WAY TO REACH ACROSS OUR DIFFERENCES AND CONNECT AS CHRISTIANS AND BE THE EXAMPLE THAT GOD CALLED US TO BE. WE SEEMINGLY LOST OUR CONTINUITY, OUR UNITY, OUR SENSE OF FAMILY, OUR SENSE OF BEING ONE BODY IN CHRIST JESUS. MARCUS KNEW HOW TO EMBRACE ALL KINDS OF BELIEVERS AND HOW TO WALK WITH THEM AND TALK WITH THEM. HIS TREMENDOUS PERSONALITY WAS EXHIBITED AT HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY I WAS BLESSED TO ATTEND. HIM AND JONI OFTEN COME TO OUR HOUSE AND BROKE BREAD AND BEEN AT OUR FELLOWSHIPS AND BEEN AT EVENTS. WE'VE ENJOYED A LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIP. HE USED TO LAUGH 57 IS A GREAT YEAR.BOTH HE AND I WERE BORN IN 1957. I HAVE MANY FOND MEMBERS, MANY THINGS I'LL REFLECT ON YEARS TO COME. I WANT TO SAY THAT HE IS GONE, BUT HE'S NOT FORGOTTEN. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO ALL OF YOU TODAY AS WE PRAISE TOGETHER AND WEEP TOGETHER. WE KNOW WE'RE NOT ALONE BUT THE COMFORTER DWELLS AMONGST US. MAY THE SWEET PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COMFORT AND GUIDE THESE FRIENDS THROUGH THE TIME OF BEREAVEMENT FROM THE POTTER'S HOUSE IN DALLAS, I'M BISHOP T.D. JAKES SENDING MY LOVE AND PRAYERS.I'M SO SORRY I COULDN'T BE THERE TODAY BUT I'M GRATEFUL YOU EXTENDED ME THIS GRACE TO SPEAK ABOUT MY BROTHER AND MY FRIEND MARCUS LAMB.[APPLAUDING] THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS A TRIBUTE TO MARCUS UNCOMPROMISED PREACHING ALL OVER THE WORLD HE CALLED PEOPLE TO BE ALL IN FOR GOD.WATCH THIS. >> FROM TRAVELING EVANGELIST TO WORLD BROADCASTER, MARCUS LAMB WAS A CHAMPION OF THE GOSPEL AND DEDICATED SERVANT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. REACHING MILLIONS WITH POWERFUL ANOINTED MESSAGES OF LOVE, HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT. >> SO WHAT IS A LIFE LIKE THAT IS FULLY ALL IN? IT'S WHEN YOU GIVE ALL OF YOUR MIND, ALL OF YOUR BODY, AND ALL OF YOUR SOUL OR SPIRIT AND YOU YIELD IT TO THE LORD. A SURRENDERED VESSEL. ONE THAT SAYS I'LL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO. I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO. AND I'LL SAY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY.I'LL BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE. THAT IS WHAT GOD IS LOOKING FOR. BUT GOD WANTS US TO BE ON FIRE. I SAY TO YOU TONIGHT, DON'T QUIT DREAMING BECAUSE GOD IS GOING TO BRING YOUR DREAM TO PASS. AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT AND ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH.AND DO IT UNTO THE LORD, NOT UNTO MEN.SOME OF YOU TODAY, GOD IS CALLING YOU TO DO GREAT THINGS. HE'S CALLING YOU TO GREATNESS. HE'S CALLING YOU TO DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.

I WOULD BE SMILING TOO LOOKING AT YOU.HE'S A GOOD BOY AND A STRONG BOY AND A PRETTY BOY. >> I THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL MY LEGACY BE? WHAT DO I WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER ME BY? I WANT PEOPLE TO SAY THAT MARCUS LAMB WAS A MAN WHO LOVED THE WORD OF GOD. THAT HE WAS A PERSON WHO HAD LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR OTHERS. THAT HE WAS ONE WHO EXPERIENCED AND RECEIVED THE GRACE OF GOD GREAT IN HIS LIFE. AND I WANT PEOPLE OF COURSE, A LOVE FOR T GOSPEL AND TO REMEMBER THE GREAT COMMISSION TO GO INTO ALL OF THE WORLD AND PREACH OR SHARE OR DECLARE THE GOSPEL.THAT IS THE MANDATE OF DAYSTAR. THAT IS THE CRY OF MY HEART. >> MINISTER. BROADCASTER. FAMILY MAN. MARCUS LAMB WAS A MAN OF DEVOTION, DEDICATION AND HUMILITY.[APPLAUDING]. >> JONI WANTS TO HONOR HER BELOVED HUSBAND OF 39 YEARS HERE TODAY. AND SHE RECORDED HER COMMENTS. WATCH THIS. >> ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS ABOUT BEING PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD IS BEING SURROUNDED BY SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT. I WANT TO BECOME ALL OF YOU HERE TODAY AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH WALKING ALONGSIDE US OVER THE YEARS.THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY WHO STOOD WITH US AS WE STEPPED OUT ON THIS VERY UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HUGS AND TEARS AND ENCOURAGEMENT OVER THE YEARS AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS IN MINISTRY, TO ALL YOU AMAZING PASTORS AND TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED ALONGSIDE US IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION AS CO-LABORERS. MARCUS HAD SUCH A HEART FOR PEOPLE IN MINISTRY AND I'M SO HONORED YOU WOULD BE HERE TODAY. YOU KNOW I COULD HAVE NEVER BELIEVED I WOULD BE HERE SPEAKING TO YOU, TALKING ABOUT MY HUSBAND'S HOME GOING. IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED LIVING LIFE WITH MARCUS LAMB, THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN FULL OF THE UNEXPECTED. I CAN REMEMBER BACK THE FIRST TIME I MET MARCUS, HE WAS PREACHING REVIVAL AT MY HOME CHURCH THERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME EARLY ON WAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD AND MEMORIZATION OF SCRIPTURE. I REMEMBER WHEN HE ASKED ME OUT ON A DATE, I HAD NEVER DATED A MINISTER BEFORE. I REMEMBER THINKING, I WON WONDER IF HE'LL BE ALL SPIRITUAL?I GOT TO SEE THE FUN SIDE. HE'S LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. HE'S A HUMAN BEING THAT WANTS TO HAVE FUN AND WANTS TO FIND LOVE. WE DID FIND LOVE. AFTER MEETING IN OCTOBER OF 1980 WE WERE MARRIED IN AUGUST OF 1982. THE DAY WE GOT MARRIED IS THAT MARCUS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING OUT OF THE BOX.HE LITERALLY WIRED A BOX OVER THE ALTAR.AFTER THEY PRONOUNCED US HUSBAND AND WIFE HE DROPPED ROSE PETALS FROM THE CEILING AND EVERYONE GASPED.HE LOVED IT. EVERYONE LOVED IT. I LOVED HIS CREATIVITY. A YEAR AFTER WE WERE MARRIED NOT QUITE A YEAR AFTER WE WERE MARRIED WE WERE ON A TRIP TO ISRAEL. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME OUT OF THE COUNTRY.IT WAS AN AMAZING TRIP THE LAMB OF THE BIBLE.WHILE WE WERE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, THE LORD BEGAN TO SPEAK TO MARCUS ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. IN 1983 WE MOVED TO MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA AND SAID YES TO BUILDING THE FIRST CHRISTIAN TELEVISION STATION IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA. ANYBODY WHO KNOWS MARCUS KNOWS HE'S HUMBLE AND OBEDIENT TO WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYS.WE MOVED TO MONTGOMERY. WE BUILT THE STATION. THERE FOR SEVEN LONG YEARS WE CALL THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. THERE'S STILL A CHRISTIAN TELEVISION STATION THERE TODAY. GOD EVENTUALLY MOVED US TO DALLAS AND I THOUGHT WE WOULD BUILD ONE STATION AND BUILT A HUNDRED AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL ALL OVER THE WORLD, THUS DAYSTAR WAS BORN AND WE HAVE TO GIVE GOD GLORY FOR ALL OF THAT. AND OF COURSE, BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.MARCUS WAS A WONDERFUL HUSBAND, HE WAS AN AMAZING FATHER AND GRANDFATHER. HE LOVED EACH ONE OF HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN SO MUCH.HE WAS SO PROUD OF EACH OF THEM. AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, HE WAS ALWAYS MAKING ME LAUGH. I CAN REMEMBER A NORMAL MORNING FOR US, WE WOULD GET UP AND HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE. WE WOULD TALK ABOUT THE SHOW WE WOULD DO TOGETHER LIVE. HE LIKED LIVE. I'M MORE SCRIPTED. HE LIKED SPONTANEITY OF BEING LIVE. I WOULD GET READY. HE WOULD COME GET READY AND SO OFTEN I WOULD HEAR HIM SINGING A SONG ABOUT ME IN THE SHOWER. I LOVED THAT. I LOVED THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE HAD TOGETHER. OUR KIDS ARE GROWN AND MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS.WE REALLY HAVE HAD A LOT OF QUALITY TIME TO SPEND TOGETHER. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MARCUS LOVED TO PREACH AROUND THE WORLD. AS YOU ALREADY HEARD, HE LOVED TO PLAY GOLF. BUT OUR FAVORITE PLACE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT HOME TOGETHER. AND YOU KNOW, THOSE LAST FEW DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, HE KEPT LOOKING AT ME AND TELLING ME, I WANT TO GO HOME. I WANT TO GO HOME. WELL, HE'S HOME. AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHEN HE CAME TO DAYSTAR, MARCUS LAID AN INCREDIBLE FOUNDATION. A MINISTER FRIEND TOLD ME THAT MARCUS WAS THE GREATEST SEED TO BE PLANTED IN THE GROUND OF DAYSTAR.MARCUS GAVE ME CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS WHAT TO DO IF ONE OF US WAS PROMOTED TO HEAVEN. I CAN PROMISE YOU DAYSTAR WILL CONTINUE.IT WILL BE STRONGER THAN EVER. IT WILL BE PART OF END TIME REVIVAL AND END TIME HARVEST. MY HUSBAND NOT ONLY HAD A PRIESTLY ANOINTING BUT A KINGLY ANOINTING. HE WAS SO CAREFUL WITH THE MONEY THAT CAME INTO DAYSTAR.HE WAS A GOOD STEWARD. HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN WASTING GOD'S MONEY. I WILL TELL YOU A FUNNY STORY, IF WE STAYED IN A HOTEL AND HE USED A BAR OF SOAP HE WOULD WRAP IT AND TAKE IT HOME. HONEY YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE IT HOME.NO. THEY WERE JUST GOING TO THROW IT AWAY. IF HE SAW A PIECE OF LINT ON THE FLOOR HE WOULD BEND DOWN AND PICK IT UP.HE WAS A GREAT STEWARD. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE HAVE A SOLID FOUNDATION TO BUILD ON AND DAYSTAR WILL BUILD ON IT. WE WILL SUPPORT REVIVAL AND THE TRUTH AND NOT BACK DOWN EXPOSING THE DEVIL WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE'S DOING. FOR THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF DAYSTAR, WE'LL BE STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.I MAKE THAT PROMISE TO GOD, YOU AND DAYSTAR AND MARCUS. I WAS THERE WITH HIM EVERY DAY THIS THE HOSPITAL.HE WAS MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER. MOVING FORWARD HE WANTED TO BE A CLOSER FRIEND AND SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AND VIGILANT ABOUT WINNING SOULS AND END TIME HARVEST. HE WANTED TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FREEDOMS WE SEE BEING TAKEN AWAY. AND HE WANTED TO CONTINUE TO NOT BE ASHAMED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHEN HE PASSED IT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST DAY OF MY LIFE. SEAN SHARED WITH ME AT 2 A.M. PACIFIC TIME HE SAW A FLASH OF LIGHT OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW AN THOUGHT IN THAT MOMENT GOD DID SOMETHING MIRACULOUS AND HEALED MARCUS OR TOOK MARCUS HOME. WELL EXACTLY AT 4 A.M. DALLAS TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN 2 A.M. CALIFORNIA TIME, MARCUS MET JESUS.AND THOUGH THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT LIKE WE EXPECTED, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I DON'T QUESTION GOD.I KNOW GOD. I'VE SEEN SO MANY MIRACLES OVER 36 YEARS OF BEING IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. AND I KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL.BEFORE HE WAS PROMOTED TO HEAVEN, HE KEPT ASKING AGAIN TO GO HOME.CAN I GO HOME? CAN I GO HOME? WELL, HE'S HOME. MARCUS LAMB WAS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I LOVED HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. AND I KNOW THAT HE'S HEARD THE WORDS WELL DONE,OOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

PLEASE WELCOME HIM AT THIS TIME AS HE COMES TO BRING THE EULOGY. >> SUCH AN HONOR TO BE HERE TODAY WITH THIS PRECIOUS FAMILY. TERESA AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNFAIR ASSIGNMENTS YOU COULD EVER GIVE A PREACHER. I HOLD IN HIGH ESTEEM ALL THE REMARKABLE LEADERS THAT ARE HERE. I SEE SO MANY HOUSEHOLD NAMES IN MINISTRY AND CERTAINLY THE MEN THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE ME, I'M SITTING BACK THERE THINKING, HOW CAN I DO BETTER THAN THAT? HOW CAN I DO BETTER THAN THAT? IF I AM SHORTER THAN EACH ONE OF THEM, I'LL DO BETTER THAN THAT. SO THAT'S MY GOAL. BUT THEY TRULY ARE. YOU'VE TOUCHED, IN MOMENTS YOU WEREN'T EVEN AWARE OF, YOU TOUCHED MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. I JUST SALUTE ALL THE PASTORS AND THE PASTOR WIVES THAT ARE HERE TODAY.[APPLAUDING] >> THAT YOU PAY A TREMENDOUS PRICE.I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU AND MARCUS, JONI.AND I WAS REMINDED OF THE QUINTESSENTIAL COUPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. THEY WERE THE ONLY COUPLE MENTIONED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. AND THEY WERE AMAZING. THEY STARTED OUT IN ROME AND WERE MARRIED. SPENT THEIR HONEYMOON IN ROME. IT WAS THEN THEY WERE RAN OUT OF THERE.AND THEY ENDED UP IN CORINTH. AND THERE IN CORINTH THEY MET A MAN BY THE NAME OF PAUL. HE MOVED INTO THEIR HOME FOR 1 MONTHS AND LIVED IN THEIR HOME ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. A YOUNG MAN COMING UP ABOUT TO SHAPE THE WORLD WAS BEING SHAPED BY A POWER COUPLE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. THEIR NAMES ARE NEVER MENTIONED ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. THEY WERE INSEPARABLE, KIND OF LIKE MARCUS AND JONI. ALWAYS FINDING YOUNG VOICES AND RAISING THEM UP AND GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITY. I WAS PASTORING A LITTLE CHURCH IN GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA. THE POULTRY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. NOBODY HAD EVER ASKED ME TO COME AND PREACH ON TV. AND I GET A PHONE CALL ON A LITTLE STATION IN ALABAMA. I WENT DOWN THERE AND MY KNEES WERE NOT KNOCKING.THEY WERE MISSING. I WAS TERRIFIED. THEY HAD TWO OR THREE CAMERAS IN THE LITTLE BITTY STUDIO IN ALABAMA.IT WAS MY OLD FRIEND MARCUS, EVANGELIST.HE AND I AND PERRY STONE AND OTHERS CAME UP IN THE CHURCH OF GOD STARTING OUT. WHEN WE GOT TOGETHER WITH OUR WIVES, IT FELT LIKE WE WERE A FAMILY. A KINSMEN SHIP. A BOND THAT COMES WITH MINISTERS. I REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN ALABAMA. I REMEMBER ANOTHER MOMENT WITH THE LAMBS WHEN THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE IN DALLAS. AND I REALLY THOUGHT IF MARCUS DIDN'T HAVE JONI, HE WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THE DEEPENED LIKE THE OTHER PREACHERS BUT I KNEW SHE WAS THE ANCHOR AND I KNOW SHE HEARD FROM GOD TO GO TO DALLAS, TEXAS.NO STATION PERMIT. NOTHING. BUT A WORD FROM GOD. SO THAT STATION IN ALABAMA, AND MOVED TWO COUNTRY BUMPKINS ONE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA ONE FROM MAY CON, GEORGIA. BUT BOY, THE ANOINTING OF GOD WAS SO REAL AND VISION SO POWERFUL. AND HERE WE STAND ALL OVER THE WORLD. I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS QUICK MESSAGE GOD LAID ON MY HEART. HE REALLY DID. EXODUS THE 28TH CHAPTER. AND IN 29TH CHAPTER PARTICULARLY, HE SAID, AND THE HOLY GARMENTS OF AARON SHOULD BE ON THE SEED AFTER HIM, TO BE ANOINTED IN THEM AND TO BE CONSECRATED IN THEM, THAT SON THAT WILL BECOME THE PRIEST SHALL PUT THEM ON SEVEN DAYS AFTER THEY PASTED. AFTER THE DAD PASSES YOU ARE TO WEAR THESE GARMENTS. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THE PRIEST HAD TO WEAR THEM SEVEN DAYS. THE SON THAT RECEIVED THAT GARMENT HAD TO WEAR IT SEVEN DAYS AND COULDN'T CHANGE THE CLOTHES. THE FAMILY PLAN IS GOD'S PLAN IN THE EARTH TODAY. COMPLICATED AND CHALLENGING AS LIFE IS, MY WIFE IS HERE AND FOUR CHILDREN AND FIVE GRANDCHILDREN AS COMPLICATED AND CHALLENGING FAMILY LIFE CAN BE, IT'S STILL THE GREATEST THING GOD EVER GAVE MANKIND. GOD IS NOT REQUIRING US TO RAISE PERFECT FAMILIES. BUT H'S EMPOWERING US TO RAISE INTACT FAMILIES AND MARRIAGES. WE NEED A BAPTISM OF STRONG FAMILIES IN AMERICA AND THE CHURCH AND THE MINISTRY. BAPTISM OF STRONG FAMILIES. I FEEL LIKE THE LORD SAID TODAY THAT HE WANTED TO LAY A BLESSING ON EVERY FAMILY WATCHING THIS. AND THAT WOULD BE GATHERED IN THIS PLACE TODAY TO HONOR GOD'S SERVANT MARCUS LAMB. I'M HERE TODAY PROPHETICALLY TO PROCLAIM A BLESSING OVER YOUR HOME THAT WILL BE SO STRONG THAT GOD WILL REFOCUS LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHER AGAIN IN THE HOME. THAT WILL BE SO STRONG THAT GOD CAN REFLICKER THE FLAME IN EVERY MARRIAGE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE ALMOST GONE OUT. MOSES, TAKE AARON AND TAKE HIS SONS AND PREPARE THE GARMENTS. AARON WOULD BE THE PRIEST, THE FIRST PRIEST.AND I'M CALLING NOT ONLY THE MAN BUT I'M CALLING HIS FAMILY. I'M CALLING HIS CHILDREN. I HAVE A SPECIAL ANOINTING FOR THIS FAMILY. THEY'RE DIFFERENT. THEY'RE NOT LIKE EVERY OTHER FAMILY. TO BE RAISED IN A MINISTRY HOME IS DIFFERENT.YOU CAN TRY TO BE NORMAL. YOU'LL NEVER BE NORMAL. YOU'RE RUINED. YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED IN A PASTOR'S HOME BY DESIGN AND CALL OF GOD.AND YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM IT. IT'S NOT A CURSE. IT'S A BLESSING. MOSES MAKES SPECIAL GARMENTS THAT WILL MAKE THE FAMILY STAND OUT. THEY'LL BE DISTINCT GARMENTS. THIS GARMENT WILL BE PASSED FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER. WHAT KIND OF GARMENTS ARE YOU PASSING TO THE NEXT GENERATION. WE ONLY PASS ON WHAT WE WEAR NOT WHAT WE PROFESS. MARCUS WORE THREE GARMENTS. THEY REALLY ARE WHAT HE WAS, NOT WHO HE TAUGHT. NUMBER ONE, WORE THE GARMENT OF PRAISE. ISAIAH 61 SAID, PUT ON THE GARMENT OF PRAISE WHEN THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS, TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, GRIEF, SORROW, DEPRESSION TRY TO OVERTAKE YOU, PUT ON THE GARMENT OF PRAISE. PRAISE ISN'T WHAT HE DID, IT WAS WHO HE WAS. HE LOVED TO PLAY MUSIC, PLAY THE PIANO, HE LOVED TO SING AND LOVED THE SINGERS.PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, MOM AND DAD, THE ONLY GARMENT YOU'LL PASS ON IS NOT WHAT YOU PROFESS. I LOVE THE LORD. I LOVE TO PRAISE THE LORD. BUT IF YOU DON'T WEAR THAT AND JUST TALK IT, IT WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THE GARMENT THAT YOU WEAR IS THE SAME GARMENT YOUR CHILDREN WILL WEAR. IF YOU TREAT PRAISE LIKELY AND WORSHIP IS NO BIG DEAL AND THEY NEVER SEE DAD RAISE THE HAND. THE REASON WE HAVE SO MANY TEENS IN THE CHURCH WE HAVE SO MANY POPSICLES. IF DAD AND GRANDDAD GOT THEIR HANDS UP AND GET EXCITED AND GET OFF YOUR HANDS AND GET THEM UP, DO YOU KNOW WHAT? THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING. I HAD A PRAISING DADDY. AND YOU HAD A PRAISING DADDY AND FATHER-IN-LAW. AND THAT GARMENT IS FALLING JUST LIKE WHEN ELIJAH WENT UP AND THE GARMENT FAILED AND WITH IT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO MIRACULOUS THINGS.THERE'S A GARMENT OF PRAISE. LET YOUR KIDS SEE THAT PRAISE. I'M A PRODUCT OF A PRAISING FAMILY.I TRIED TO SIN. I TRIED TO DO WRONG. I TRIED TO GO OUT AND BACKSLIDE AND DRUNK AND HIGH AND GET HIGH WITH MY FRIENDS AND THEY WOULD SEE PINK ELEPHANTS. I WOULD SEE ELIJAH, AND MOSES AND FOUR HORSES OF THE APOCALYPSE.I COULDN'T GET AWAY FROM IT. I TRIED. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A MOM WHO WILL RAISE HER HANDS. NOT JUST ON THE MOUNTAIN. BUT WHEN SHE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CASKET OF THE MAN SHE LOVES, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT IN THAT MOMENT AND I'M TRYING TO BEHAVE.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING BUT DO WHAT I DO, BECAUSE MY DADDY PUT THE GARMENT ON ME. HE WAS A HOLY GHOST PREACHER. AND WE NEED IT IN THIS HOUR TODAY. SOMEBODY TAKE A PRAISE BREAK AND JUST GIVE THE LORD A SHOUT. AREN'T YOU GLAD SOMEBODY SHOWED YOU HOW TO PRAISE THE LORD? UNASHAMED TO PRAISE THE LORD? REFUSED TO BE INTIMIDATED TO PRAISE THE LORD. DON'T CARE WHERE I GO, I WILL PRAISE HIS NAME CONTINUALLY. DOESN'T MATTER TO ME WHO INTES ME.DON'T INVITE ME IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO THIS. AND THAT'S WHAT WILL GET IN YOUR CHILDREN IN THE DARKEST HOURS. SECONDLY, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. MARCUS WORE A SECOND GARMENT. THAT IS DROPPING ON YOU, FAMILY MEMBERS, REBECCA, RACHEL AND OLD JONATHAN. IT'S FALLING ON YOU. IT'S THE GARMENT OF FAITH. INTERESTING SCRIPTURE IN 2 TIMOTHY 1:5 PAUL SAID TO YOUNG MAN TIMOTHY, IT'S AMAZING SON THE SAME FAITH I SAW IN YOU I SAW FIRST IN YOUR GRANDMOTHER EUNICE AND THEN SHE DROPPED THE GARMENT WHEN SHE DIED AND LOIS YOUR MOTHER.FIRST IN EUNICE THE GRANNY AND THEN THE MOTHER LOIS PICKED IT UP AND PAUL SAID, NOW I SEE THAT SAME GARMENT IN YOU. THE GARMENT OF FAITH. MARCUS PASSED ON A GARMENT OF FAITH. HE REALLY DID WALK IN A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF FAITH. FAITH SEES WHAT OTHERS DO NOT SEE. FAITH HEARS WHAT OTHERS DO NOT HEAR. FAITH BELIEVES AND DOES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE CANNOT DO. MARCUS WAS THAT KIND OF MAN. HE SAW TV STATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. I'M SURE GOD COULD HAVE SHOWN OTHER PEOPLE THAT SAME SCENARIO AND THEY DIDN'T HEAR AND SEE IT. BECAUSE HE HAD THE MANTEL OF FAITH. FAITH THAT SAID, GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, IT'S COMING ON YOU. FAITH THAT SAID, GOD CAN HEAL ANY DISEASE.FAITH THAT SAID, GOD CAN SAVE ANYBODY. GOD, GIVE US A MANTEL OF FAITH THAT BELIEVES IN MIRACLES AGAIN. SIGNS AND WONDERS. A MANTEL OF FAITH THAT BELIEVES THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN PROPHESY AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PRAY IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE AND SEE THE ANOINTING OF GOD CHANGE A GENERATION. WE NEED THAT MANTEL TO FALL TODAY. DON'T JUST ADMIRE YOUR DADDY'S GARMENTS.PRAISE AND FAITH. BUT WEAR THEM. THEY WERE INTENDED, IT WASN'T JUST CREATED FOR AARON'S GENERATION. BUT GOD KNEW THE TIMES AND DAYS AND MOMENTS WE WOULD BE IN. AND HE SAID, WHAT WAS GOOD THEN, YOU DON'T NEED A GOOD AND IMPROVED VERSION, WHAT WAS GOOD THEN, PUT LIGHTS ON IT, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, PUT SKINNY JEANS ON IT IF YOU WANT TO, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT, BUT DON'T LOSE THE POWERFUL ANOINTING AND THE POWERFUL FAITH AND PRAISE THAT GOT US WHERE WE ARE. IF I CAN'T GET A PENTECOSTAL AMEN I'LL TAKE A, I'LL TAKE ANYTHING I CAN GET RIGHT NOW. SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS I'M PREACHING THE TRUTH, GIVE GOD A PRAISE JUST A MINUTE.ON BEHALF OF AN EVANGELIST, I WANT SOMEBODY TO SHOUT. MARCUS LIKED SHOUTING. NO. WE DON'T EVER NEED TO GET TOO QUIET TO SHOUT. SOME WALLS WILL NEVER FALL UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW TO SHOUT. WEAR IT. I BELIEVE IN IT. BUT YOU DON'T DO IT. WEAR IT. LASTLY, HE WORE THE GARMENT OF CONSECRATION AND HOLY ANOINTING. THERE WAS A LOT OF PRAYER THAT WENT INTO THE GARMENTS FALLING ON YOU TODAY.THERE WAS A LOT OF TEARS. THERE WAS A LOT OF LONELY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE LONELINESS THESE MEN ALONE WITH GOD. HOURS. HOURS. HOURS. AND DAYS OF FASTING AND DAYS OF PRAYER AND DAYS OF STUDYING THE WORD AND READING IT AND READING IT AGAIN AND CARRYING THE BURDEN.THE FEELING COMES ON YOU FRIDAY. AND REALLY BEFORE, BUT REALLY BAD FRIDAY AND THEN SATURDAYS ALL MESSED UP. I DON'T WANT TO SEE NOBODY. DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND NOBODY. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? IT'S A MAN AND WOMAN OF GOD. CARRYING THE GARMENT OF ANOINTING. FASTING STILL WEARS WELL IN THIS GENERATION. HOLY LIVING STILL WEARS WELL IN THIS GENERATION.LIVING A LIFE OF SEPARATION AND HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD. NOT I CAN'T DO IT. SOME THINGS I TOLD THE LORD WHEN I GOT SAVED, I'M DONE WITH THAT. I PUT ON THE GARMENT OF HOLY CONSECRATION AND ANOINTING. GIVE ME A BIG AMEN, SOMEBODY. I COME TODAY AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR YOU. THIS NETWORK. THIS MINISTRY THAT GOD'S BIRTHED.BUT HE CHOSE YOU. HE CHOSE THIS FAMILY. AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MY HEART. AND HE SAID TO REMIND EVERY PASTOR AND EVERY LEADER AND PERSON WATCHING BY TELEVISION TO REMIND YOU, JONI, OUR FAMILIES BELONG TO GOD. HALLELUJAH. AND THERE IS TODAY A GARMENT FALLING FOR OUR FAMILIES. WILL YOU CATCH IT? WHAT KIND OF GARMENTS? MOM AND DAD, WEAR THE GARMENTS WELL. WE'RE SO BUSY GIVING THEM WHAT WE DIDN'T HAVE, WE'RE NOT GIVING THEM WHAT WE DID HAVE. PRAISE AND WORSHIP. AND FAITH AND CONSECRATION AND SEPARATION AND ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HOW MANY OF YOU WANT GOD TO POUR OUT A BLESSING ON YOUR FAMILY AGAIN LIKE NEVER BEFORE? WHY DON'T WE REESTABLISH THAT BLESSING AS YOU STAND TO YOUR FEET ALL OVER THIS ROOM FOR A MOMENT.WILL YOU LIFT YOUR HANDS UP. RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING THIS IN YOUR HOME, THERE MAY BE ALL KINDS OF HELL GOING ON. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.I KNOW WHAT IT IS TO QUESTION. I KNOW WHAT IT IS TO RAISE CHILDREN. I KNOW WHAT IT IS. BUT I TELL YOU, THE BLESSING IS GREATER THAN ANY ATTACK THAT COMES AGAINST OUR FAMILIES AND HOMES. IF YOU BELIEVE IT, RAISE YOUR HANDS, LORD, BLESS MY FAMILY. I SAY TO THE LAMB FAMILY, THERE'S A MANTEL COMING ON YOU, I LOVE WHAT JOEL SAID. HE SAID A LINE THAT MEANT A LOT TO ME, BECAUSE I COULD RELATE TO IT MYSELF. DON'T LET IT PUT PRESSURE ON YOU WHO YOUR FATHER WAS. SOMEHOW YOU'VE GOT TO DO, TOO MUCH TO PUT ON YOU. ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS KNOW YOU WERE CHOSEN AND CALLED OF GOD. HE'S GOT YOU. YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. AND WE GOT YOUR BACK. ALL OF US HERE. THEY BETTER NOT. NOBODY BETTER NOT MESS WITH GOD'S LITTLE LAMBS BECAUSE WE GOT, WE ARE A BUNCH OF SHEPHERDS WITH STAFFS AND WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK, JONI.WE'VE GOT YOU. YOU'RE A MIGHTY WOMAN OF GOD. HANDS RAISED, RECEIVE THAT BLESSING. RECEIVE THAT BLESSING. AND ONE DAY, SOON AND VERY SOON, A TRUMPET IS GOING TO SOUND. AND KING JESUS IS GOING TO STEP OUT ON A CLOUD.AND INSTANTLY WE'LL BE TRANSLATED AND GO SWEEPING THROUGH THE GATES AND STAND ON A SEA OF GLASS AND LOOK UP TO THE LAMB THAT'S ON THE THRONE. AND AS JASON CRABB SINGS, WE'LL SING, I BOWED ON MY KNEES AND CRIED HOLY.YOU MAY BE SEATED. [MUSIC] ♪ I DREAMED OF A CITY CALLED GLORY. ♪ SO BRIGHT AND SO FAIR. ♪ WHEN I ENTERED THE GATES, I CRIED HOLY. ♪ THE ANGELS ALL MET ME THERE. ♪ THEY CARRIED ME FROM MANSION TO MANSION. ♪ AND ALL THE SIGHTS THAT I SAW. ♪ I SAID, I WANT TO SEE JESUS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID TODAY. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING, ALL RIGHT? LET'S CLOSE THE SERVICE. LORD, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THE DEPOSIT THAT YOU PUT IN ALL OF US THROUGH MARCUS LAMB.THANK YOU, GOD, THAT HE SAID, YES. THAT HE KEPT SAYING, YES. THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO CHRIST AROUND THE WORLD BECAUSE OF HIM. THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU USED HIM AND HOW YOU'LL CONTINUE TO USE JONI AND THE FAMILY AND DAYSTAR. AND WE BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE PAUL PLEASE CONTINUE TO STAND. [MUSIC] (BAGPIPE PLAYING AMAZING GRACE) [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC]
