new songs we love singing old songs and the song I'm gonna sing for you now is a song that we've been singing for I guess probably a dozen years and this is a song that Bill Gaither called me one day and he was so excited he said hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Ben a pinkie promise it was exactly like that he said you kids need to sing this song I remember doing a little research and found it was the number one song in 1959 see if you remember this one - there's a village hidden deep in a valley among the pine trees have fun and there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown [Music] bumbum all the chapel bells ring in the little Valley cloud and the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy and the will congregate [Music] three for guidance from lead us not into temptation our meditation guiding with eternal [Music] there's a village hidden deep in the valley beneath the mountains high above and there twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet is all the travel bills [Music] was a great day in his mind cause the song that they were some was for Jimmy and his wife and little congregation three for guidance [Music] lead us not into temptation for the celebration laughs be filled with from the village hidden deep in the valley one rainy morning dark and gray a soul winging its way to have Jimmy Brown [Music] [Music] just one more bells wrong you know Valley time was fair will that it was to our buddy Jimmy congregation three four died lead us not into temptation may his soul find the salvation of thy grady turn [Music] how many of you remember the song do you remember who did it originally the Browns Jim ed Bonnie and Maxine as I said before it was the number one song in 1959 both in country music and in pop music boy times have changed haven't they I love singing that song they sure have changed maybe a dill will bring that one back on her next record good job in well mom said we had a special request to do this next song and that actually several people that go here to church and wanted to hear it and maybe needed to hear it tonight my husband and I wrote this song with a friend of ours in 2009 and never dreamed that the country singer Martina McBride would record it and have a number-one song with this song and and that she would start at an organization called team Martina that helped people all over the world with this very thing we're going to be singing about we wrote this song about moms story mom is now a 35 35 year breast cancer survivor [Music] we called her on the phone that day that we wrote this song we said tell us what it was like the whole story from beginning to end and she told us and we wrote this song it's so important to have a good support team when you go through something like that in it your friends your family your church God he's the most important thing listen to the words this song and I hope it'll encourage you to see [Music] first doctor just confirmed has been held in cancer don't discriminate care if you're just 33 kids who need you in there said I know that you're free and kind [Music] when you [Music] [Applause] [Music] scared [Music] [Applause] [Music] the surgery he said that caught it just in time they had to take [Music] Maggie's shirts she just wants to feel I don't [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] thank you thank you so much what a beautiful song and it has been it's been viewed how many times different versions and and I'm so grateful that they had a pen that day when when they called me on the phone and you know I know there are people in this church that have battled cancer according to pastor we talked a little bit and we wanted to sing that song for you because you're like me you're a survivor and you might not go to this church on you here tonight and you also have battled cancer or you have a relative or a good friend that is battling cancer already has or you've lost someone to cancer friends the support team is like one of the most important things you can have regardless of any of those scenarios and I had that with my church and my family and you know 35 years later I can still count on them regardless of what comes up and you know don't take that for granted friends love the people that are around you deeply care about them hold them close to your heart because we don't know what tomorrow holds but I'm so glad that I know who holds tomorrow amen amen amen praise the Lord thank you so much thank you and you know every time we do that song I remember you know dogs allowed me to write a book a few years ago about my experiences in my lifetime and where I've come from and I'm gonna share a little bit of that with you but I never will forget what it felt like when the doctor called my house and my husband had to grab the film because I was shaking like a leaf when he said it was cancer and all three of these little little kids up here my son and my two daughters were at my feet praying and crying and saying why is not me crying and at that moment in my life I didn't care if the trash had to be taken out I didn't care what kind of car I was driving or what was hanging in my wardrobe it didn't matter all that mattered is that I wanted to live to raise my children that's all I cared about and God blessed my life somehow and I don't understand how that works some people can make it some people don't I don't know but all I do know is God is good and as long as we walk in his plan that he's already designed for our lives your life will work out exactly the way he planned it and that's what brings me to the story I want to read to you Sonya told you about my history and my parents and and I love sharing out of my book this particular story everywhere we go because you know we're living in a day in time now where people don't think the history actually took place but I'm living proof to tell you that it did and my mother and father both survived concentration camps this is one of the stories my mother has shared with me all of my life my parents were taken from their homes torn away from their families they were transported like cattle on train cars from Poland to Germany it was January 1943 when my mother found herself at bergen-belsen concentration camp in Germany it was one of the most horrific times in history nourishment came at the front of a food line a roll of bread that had to last for several days one cup of black coffee and one cup of watery soup sometimes with nothing in it but grass it seemed they were always being put in lines and separated either to do jobs or to get food or to simply turn around and go back to the barracks yet lines often led to worse things than a cup of grass field soup and watered-down coffee one day as my mother waited in line with her sisters Lata and her friend Sabrina a soldier began separating the women you this way and you that way initially the girls were separated my mother directed to the left while Sabrina and slaughter remained in line suddenly as the line began to move forward Sabrina grabbed to my mother's arm she's coming with me Sabrina said and the guard ignored her allowing my mother to change lines the line my mother had been in at first went to the gas chamber everyone in that line was killed that day the line that Sabrina pulled my mother into received their normal ration and went back to their barracks day after day week after week year after year the difference between life and death could be something as simple as a guard separating people into lines or a prisoner taking one step too close to a fence or the random tug of a soldier's trigger finger or the angelic action of a friend named Sabrina Sabrina saved my mother's life that day but you see Sabrina didn't know it but I know in my heart that God already knew somewhere down in time our family would be here at this church in North Carolina just the way you see us singing the praises of Jesus Yeshua the Messiah of the whole world amen amen amen thank you lord thank you lord he knew that over 40 years ago but I would give my heart to him as my personal Savior and I didn't know I would have three amazingly talented children that can sing and play and write songs but you know what this was his plan for the Isaacs but if you're sitting out there and you're wondering where your life is right now you woke up this morning thinking okay God what am I doing with my life what am I doing here why is this happening friend gone already has your plan he knows it's up to you to find him and stay in his will praise the Lord because what the enemy's sought out to destroy in every way God already has a plan amen thank you for listening to my story I feel a good presence of the Lord here tonight praise the Lord thank you thank you I got to kick my mother till she was 95 years old I lost her four years ago this past month and I miss her everyday my daughter's wrote a beautiful song about the lonely times we all have [Music] [Applause] here my [Music] the night is long and full of but there is rest and car eat the shell [Music] and there's please [Music] I find it [Music] you are my shell [Music] without your love [Music] whatever comes I've really gone oh you're [Music] and there's [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh [Music] I find [Music] I'm having the same trouble they had now look at this this is a mandolin on steroids actually we anointed it and prayed over it this banjo had a lot of caffeine when it was little it's stunted it's a groove I got it left in the dryer too long after I understand well I tell you I'm having a good time tonight and looking forward to the next set we got to hear sweet Holy Spirit we got to hear that we got to hear sighs on sparrow okay I was right am i right okay we'll find it you're never supposed to tell the preacher he's wrong in front of all these people you obvious obviously don't argue with the woman very much and yeah and yeah and you know what man for every kid that wears a hat in this church again there's service I'm giving them your cell phone number [Music] no you're okay brother you're okay keep it on you don't even have my cell phone number I'm guy yes Travis Coleman give it to me or Rick about 15 years ago to change it amen no you didn't break a rule we don't have that rule but I just thought I'd use that oh I'm gonna have fun and I don't know about you it's it's great you know what Christians can have fun in the house of God - you know I'm sure I'm enjoying myself I've laughed I've cried and that that song that she sang singing I'm gonna love you through it I didn't even know you were one of the riders on that so that's awesome I want the people that's battled cancer in the last year to stand first you battle cancer in the last year would you stand that one look at this now if you battled cancer not your life would you stand folks let's give them a round of applause they are fighters they are fighting amen thank the Lord hey God's grace is sufficient and by the way he still got a hand of healing he still uses that he is Jehovah Rapha he's got my healer I'm glad the Word of God is still strong and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword and with His stripes we are healed amen I believe that with all of my heart and thankful I'm thankful for the Isaac's being here this evening and us being able to have them we didn't have at about seven days to be able to promote this so it's a good-looking crowd tonight sister you've already started God listen yes yeah she made it amen yes ma'am that's why mother-in-law's

misunderstanding is it alright if we do a few more songs before we take a break okay we'll just go on like we had a like we thought we'd planned alright at this time we'd like to invite Levi beckysan to come up and sing his song he has a beautiful voice a brand-new well let's not brand-new any more it feels like it but he's got a solo album that is fantastic Levi has a young soul but he has a great love for old things old music especially and you'll love him oh we had a tune over there a little bit Oh Levi Ben actually helped produce Levi's album and he wasn't able to get too many good singers on it only a Vince Gill and Jimmy fortune from the Statler Brothers and we helped him on a few songs but he did a great job would you make it welcome one more time mr. Levi Bowman over there thank you very much well my CDs a completely different style than what I've been singing lately but I'm gonna do one off of that if it's all right with everybody I know you don't know my music yet but hopefully after tonight you will and this is a song that Sonia and her husband Jimmy wrote it's called only Jesus could love you more [Music] I could find helper believe somehow it's heaven soon cause my knee I can save forever in your eyes and the old say what I feel inside is only Jesus [Applause] [Music] Jesus could share she understand [Music] worth dying in war is all Meiji [Music] here's a trade that someday [Music] there were nights I had my doubts within me prove me wrong Oswin the right thing and so sure [Music] this pure could only come from his own lazy [Music] Oh only Jesus good I cherish you [Music] understand with my only Jesus [Music] you everything [Music] then certain [Music] good [Music] thank you here's a song we recorded in 1992 the first time just re-recorded it on the album called favorites revisited by request see if you recognize this one [Music] but I have a [Music] you can't [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] see what I have a pun yes we have a fall who came [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Laughter] praise the Lord I'm glad we have a father who can do anything aren't you he's able he's good amen and I'm gonna do a song for you right now that's not quite so old and you know the pastor and I have concluded that we know what song he requested and I'll do that for him just a little bit thanks to Google right yeah okay this song is what it's not his eyes on the sparrow and I know he watches me it's many things about I don't know about tomorrow that's got that line in it yes I know who wears tomorrow so we'll do that if they let me sing another solo this song has been very very special to me now for the past couple years that we've got to sing it because I'd have to say every every single time I see this singing this song I can think of something in my life that I need to surrender over to Jesus Christ and seems like we get it wrong and we think that surrender is a sign of weakness but the truth is is if we could learn to surrender everything over to Jesus Christ it is the only surrender that we will do that will result in total victory as a matter of fact it takes more strength to surrender your will to his amen I'll pray about a situation and I don't think that I've left it at the feet of Jesus and somehow I wake up the next morning and find myself fighting the very thing that I said I was going to leave alone and I've learned in my life that I have exhausted myself fighting battles that are already won because the Bible says that all things work to the good of them that love the Lord and if he's allowing you to go through whatever it is that you're going through that's completely out of your control then it's for a purpose and a plan and we need to find our praise in the middle of it because he will work it for your good somehow and then in some way and even though it's not the outcome you may have thought but for some reason it's the outcome he has planned for you I'm gonna sing this song for someone here tonight that just needs to surrender something over to Jesus Christ it's called yours amen [Music] now until you win before your throne of grace no enemies around me there is no safe place to read [Music] [Applause] [Music] your gym [Music] sorry [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you oppress your prophecy smile my [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yes [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] me too [Music] [Music] this is not my battle this is not my so I don't have to worry listen friend no you don't have to anymore Lord you have gone before so I'm just gonna sing your song and I'll keep on trusting in the big tree cuz that's the key and you've already cuz it's you [Music] Persinger course would you this is not my battle [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] trust me trust me you've already read [Applause] [Music] oh yes [Music] yes we sir or we surrender the cancer to you guys more we surrender our debts and our financial struggles because you can take care of them God Lord we surrender our family members that were praying for Lord we surrender the addiction today God we surrender our mental struggles and the oppression and the depression to you God our Father we surrender our children we surrender our relationships our marriages Lord everything you've given this guy we get it back to you or we trust you and we need you because this is your battle not ours but I pray against I pray against the rulers of darkness that it's attacking homes that are attacking lives and individuals in this room tonight God father you said in your word that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness of this world and spirits and high places and father we're no match for those rulers of darkness so we're going to let you fight it for us we're gonna stay hidden in your grace and in your love and in your mercy you're gonna shield us and protect us from the enemy God and you're gonna fight those battles for us so we thank you Lord we praise you that's our job is to praise you and we praise you humbly we thank you God thank you for fighting these battles you have gone before so I'm just gonna sing your song and I'll keep trusting wholeheartedly in a victory you've alright it's you Oh sing it's yours yes [Music] give the Lord a hand cup of praise because you know people look at us and they think you can be seated if you want to they think you guys have got it made you all get to travel on a bus all the time and get to sing and you know Bill Gaither you must not have any problems but you know what we've got him just like you do the devil has fought our family so hard especially in the last three or four years we recorded a whole album called nature's Symphony and for 32 subtitled a journey from pain to praise because God has taught us how to praise our way through the pain just like Becky said and when I'm telling you our family's been through stuff I'm talking about things like cancer I'm talking about family members addictions I'm talking about illnesses that almost kept us from doing what we do tonight I'm talking about financial struggles bus breakdowns worrying about our children worrying about everything the enemy has attacked us and you know we learned that when God's blessing the devils missing but I want to speak to you tonight if the devils mess and get ready cause God's fixin to be blessing it's coming don't give up don't give up while we were writing songs for this album it was in 2014 my husband that I found out that we were pregnant when I was pregnant he wouldn't he didn't do anything with our second child we had a three year old son already Aiden and found out we were having a little girl that summer and man we were so excited but you know life can change and storms can come up out of nowhere I started hemorrhaging and you know this this month it always reminds me because it was only two weeks from now and we were in Hiwassee Georgia and I started hemorrhaging right there at the georgia mountain fair was scared to death went straight home that night straight to the emergency room and they ordered an ultrasound and the doctor came in it was about two o'clock in the morning finally when they got the test back and the doctor sat down at the edge of the bed and said mister mrs. Harry I'm so sorry to tell you that your baby girl has passed away a little hardest stop beating and all I could think to say was why God why have you ever just wanted to know why why not that I'm questioning what you've allowed but but I just wish I had purpose I wish I understood it because it would help me to get through it it give me peace and you know the sweet peace of the Lord came over me and the Holy Spirit came into that room and and moment by moment breath by breath he gave me strength and grace to get through the delivery in the labor and get on with life many of you have lost things and you've not gotten over it many of you are stuck in the past but God wants you to move into your future I don't know who I'm talking to tonight and I've never said that before but I know that somebody here needs to let go of some things in the past as I laid in that hospital bed that night I knew that I had a decision to make I could either a trust God trust that he promised to work all things to the good of those that loved him which I do or I could be blame God God you didn't spare me the pain you-you-you let me go through this where were you I I don't need that I don't need you some of you may be sitting here today and that's what you've thought or said maybe you haven't even realized that's your mind process but I'm so glad that I chose to trust God because friends we are warring against rulers of darkness we're not warring against our Heavenly Father he loves you and he wants to heal you and help you and bless you he wants to bless you you gotta let him we wrote a song just a few months after I lost my little Ava that's our Angels name I can't wait to see her again I can't wait we I talked and I don't mean to take time but but God is moving in here and we we sang last weekend I don't even remember where we were Ohio or somewhere and the lady came up to me at her mission a young woman and her husband and she said I found out yesterday I'm 14 weeks pregnant I found out yesterday my baby's passed away and I have to go tomorrow she said to the doctor and if I don't deliver her naturally they're gonna have to help me she was just weeping I don't know what you're going through your friend but I know that God is faithful she sent me an email this weekend and said that the baby was gone we prayed for her and pray for peace and she said thank you for praying for us and and I shared with her and I don't know why I feel like sharing this with you tonight but maybe somebody needs some hope after I lost my baby for four months I just grieved and I longed to know what she looked like I had gotten past it but I just said God I just if I could just know what my little girl would look like it would make me so happy and one night I prayed God would you let me dream about my daughter well the next morning my little he's 67 now but he was six then and he came to me and he said mom I didn't dream that night but Aydin came to me the next morning he said mom he said I had a dream last night I said what was it buddy he said I dreamed that I was on a playground and a little girl ran up to me and he said she was about four years old and that's what evil would have been and he said and she said to me I'm your sister can we play I said buddy what did she look like he said she looked just like me now tell me God didn't answer my prayer for whatever reason I wasn't supposed to see her but God allowed me to know what she would look like and God has been faithful to me and he'll be faithful to you and he gives you the desires of your heart not just your wants but your not just your needs but your wants also just keep being faithful I didn't mean to say all that but we wrote a song a few months after we lost my little girl and I'd like to sing this and dedicate to anybody that's distant from God and you need to know that he loves you listen to this song [Music] it's not your fault even though you didn't make Mountain you must [Music] and

love to tell you what we have available back there we have our newest CD which is called favorites revisited by request and the song I have a father who can a lot of classics that we did 25 years ago

seven or eight different CDs tonight the new CD is $20 but if you get three you get any three 440 how's that so that's a good deal and we also have DVDs for $20 I have a book that I've written my autobiography that's $15 I'd love to share a copy with you an autograph it also read the whole book on audio if you like to listen and your car on the computer it's on a CD seven hours long I'd love to autograph a copy of that for you don't forget my grandson Levi he just graduated college this past spring and he announced his calling to preach in fact he's preaching yes and if you come to this church don't come to hear him but if you don't go to this church and you're looking for places to go Levi's preaching next Sunday and Hiwassee at the morning service I'm so excited for that it's a big opportunity for him this would be our 20th year there so we did something special and they asked him and Karen Peck will be there too but you know go to church here grab some lunch and then come over so that'll be good that good enough anyway we want you to visit with us we do have some per box necklaces that are a really nice gift you open it up and you put your prayer request inside those are just $15 or that and a bracelet that we have that this says this is not my battle it's yours amen those are also 15 but we can get both of them tonight for 20 so come by and visit with us and before we take an intermission there is something special that we wanted to discuss with you well mom said that she had been talking to Pastor and that the church loves Israel and that they're actually going in the spring is this your fourth time you're going well that is awesome god bless you for loving Israel we also love Israel and we have a lot of reasons why we love Israel corsets are messiahs homeland but also we have relatives that live there and of course with our Jewish background we get to be dual citizens of Israel in the United States automatically so we love that but we love to go to Israel we're going again in November for our 15th trip to Israel and anyway we want you to go with your pastor but if you can't wait that long and you want to go with us and then go with him that'd be fine too so but no what we wanted to tell you about is something very special as you know this is the 70th anniversary this year of Israel as a nation in that wonderful 70 years god bless Israel amen and we wanted to come to Israel bearing gifts and we didn't want to go empty-handed because this is a special year so we decided that we're gonna do a concert in Jerusalem December the 3rd during our trip there where we have a group that's going with us a tour group and in Karen Peck and New River is also going to be with us she is our co-host but we're having a concert that is free to the people of Israel and at this concert the Lord laid it upon our hearts to bless the Holocaust survivors and the Israeli soldiers so we're raising money to to bring in a hundred Holocaust survivors there's still thousands of them living and a hundred Israeli soldiers because we want to bless those that are guarding them and guarding God's homeland and so in order to provide them a meal we also want to give them a gift card for the holidays will be there during Hanukkah and it's almost Christmas so we want to give each of them a very nice gift card and take care of them and give them a great night to remember and we want to minister the gospel of Jesus to them but we need a lot of help to be able to do that because it's very expensive we're also going to go visit an orphanage and share God's love there and you know sadly a lot of people that are Jewish especially the Holocaust survivors the only view that they've ever had of Christianity is what Hitler taught them what Christianity was they need to know the real Jesus they need to know that and America pray for them especially the Christians are praying for them and care for them and so we're asking you if you have a couple bucks in your pocket if you have a 5 a 20 or 100 that you wouldn't miss will you please come by the table and drop it in the little box that we have it's called the Fishman Isaac's Israel initiative maybe you'd like to dig deeper you can write a check if you want to to helping hand coalition that's the nonprofit we're giving through it is a tax-deductible gift you can also give online the Isaac's com there's a little menu button at the top if you click on that and click on bless Israel you can read more about it but if everybody in here would give you know a few bucks or five bucks it would really help us to be able to bring in people now listen our goal is to raise $50,000 between now and November 24th we're a little bit over halfway so we need a lot of help to get that done so if you if you love Israel and you want to bless them we're gonna go tell them this is from your Christian American friends so help us bless Israel would you do that tonight just a couple bucks if you could spare it which you're appreciated and then mom we had these t-shirts designed also to help with our our trip she said we have a limited supply cuz we almost sold out of them last night they're very soft did you know that dispell jerusalem you have to spell USA right in the middle of it j ER USA le and i don't think that's a coincidence i love that so we have these cool t-shirts and on the back it has the Israeli and American flags United and it says In God We Trust these are only twenty dollars it's going for a great cause so come by and get your t-shirts while they last or we might be able

[Music] [Applause] [Music] I love that song I don't know where I would be without Jesus I have a family member that I love with all of my heart that battles addiction and I can't tell you how many times I've said the name Jesus oh man God has been faithful to me and I want to tell you that he'll be faithful to you I am a I am a very very very strong type-a personality Becky says I have control issues I'm assuming a couple of them said it but in my defense I know if I if I do it it'll get done right come on my Taipei's but if i were honest with you i have enough problems of my own that I think I control but I really don't my family members addiction problem started several years ago and I found I found myself fighting daily minute hours all night long wondering what they were doing how they were doing what could I do to make it better what did I do to make them be that way I had to learn to give my battle to God just like my family member did that deals with the addiction my heart is so heavy tonight just because I just I feel that I want to say something I want God to move through me my sister's wrote a song for me to sing and during this time of me finding my place you know I got saved at a really young age I was seven years old when I accepted Christ and I believe at that time God had my past what little bit there was and I believed in my future with him but because of my type a personality and me just having control issues I didn't never just give up full trust I'm just being honest the hardest thing in the world for me to do was stand there stand by and watch someone that I loved destroy their lives in front of me I didn't get it and that's when I learned who God and Jesus was to me because that's really when I learned how to pray for God's will to be done in my life and because of my family members addiction it's drawn me closer to God in a way that I've never been before just like Sonia story that she told I had to learn to let it go that song this is not my battle was written for me I really believe that they wrote another song that I'm gonna try to sing for you that that pretty much sums up where I am right now and because of my family members addiction I'm so thankful that I have Jesus he brought me the peace in those times when I had no idea how I would make it [Music] this place that [Music] feels so unfair this weight on my chest seems more than I can I can't see where this is going but I'll stay on my knees till then if that's what it takes to break my will to make me still enough to hear your voice then I'll trust in you Oh Lord if that's what it takes to realize without you I'm just living life in vain for home meal for each day if that's one [Music] this is not the path I never choose for me the bigger picture that I can't support out do oh my and I'll cry if you [Music] to break to make nice feel your boys then I'll trust me that's what in space [Applause] just go living laughing vain Lord mom [Music] Oh that's funny [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] though I may not understand or give me straight to make if that's what it takes remember that I have spent so many nights just celebrated two years [Music] when peace like that's him if moon ruin sorrows like whatever thou has told me [Music] with my soul it is with my with my [Music] my my sin o of this fluorines my sin not just in heart [Music] oh praise Oh [Music] for it with my soul [Music] [Music] my [Laughter] and then that's something I want to read here because even though we've had a concert tonight worship service there may be someone here who's not saved and you know it would be a tragedy for someone to walk out of these doors tonight and not know the Lord that we're praising not know the Lord that we're thanking and blessing he's able and a few weeks ago God burned in me a message and some of the folks I've seen shirts matter of fact one of the members brought me one and Isaiah chapter 43 but now thus saith the Lord that created the Oh Jacob and he that formed thee O Israel fear not can you say that with me tonight fear not say it again fear not one more time fear not he said for I have redeemed thee I'm glad that I know tonight I've been redeemed I've not been purchased by the blood of goats or bulls or Birds or even a lamb but I've been purchased by the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world John 1:29 first Peter 1:18 for we were not redeemed with the corruptible things such as silver or gold by the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without spot without blemish I'm glad that I've been redeemed but then he said I've I've called thee by thy name I'm glad it's a nine-year-old boy about a quarter of a mile from where I'm standing right now at that time it was route 4 about 16 it's 181 more Hill Road now but being back in the back Hall down that wooden hall last room on the ride the Holy Ghost came walked right into my room tapped me on my heart convicted me of my sin I got up and I went to the two people I knew that could help me my mom and my daddy I said dad I said God speaking to me he said what do you need I said I need to be saved I dropped down there on my knees and I asked God to save me why because he called me by my name he had already redeemed me but I hadn't received that redemption myself he called my name he may be calling your name tonight can you lift your hand if he's called your name before and you accepted it can you lift it up right now unashamed unashamed and you know I haven't always been faithful to him like I should Lord I would hate I would hate in this building for my life the times of the failures to be put on these screens before yet be so ashamed and I'm glad that God cast our sins from the east from the West they're forgotten but not only did he say I've redeemed you and I've called you by name these are reasons why we shouldn't fear but then he said the hell aren't mine well I'm glad to be an American tonight I'm glad I'm glad to be part of this church and my name is on Church row I'm glad but more than that there's a father sitting on a throne in heaven and praise God he says through his spirit by way of his son Chris thou art mine and then the Bible says when thou passes through the waters I will be with thee and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee and when thou walkest through the fire thou shall not be burned neither shall the flame be killing upon me for I am the Lord I got on I don't have to fear anymore God's not giving me the spirit of fear but of power and said power and love have a sound mind and if you're here tonight and you don't know this darling Jesus let me tell you something he loves you there was a little girl one time over in England she got lost and she was crying and there was a one of the policemen the Bobby came up to her and she said he said honey what's wrong she said I'm lost I'm lost he said well do you know where Big Ben clock is she said no no and cried more he said what about the house of parliament do you know where it is she cried the more but then he thought about a cross that was in a big Cemetery and he said what about Sharon's cross do you know where that is it said that little girl lifted that old chin has started clapping her hands and said old the cross the cross if you can point me to the cross I can find my way home hallelujah I'm glad somebody pointed me to the cross and tonight as you bow your heads for a moment if you're here man woman or girl you'd say preacher I'm not saved would you pray for me would you pray could you just slip up your hand is there one just slip up your hand is there one not gonna bear you're not gonna come to you we don't want to miss you tonight I'm not saved pray for me when you pray god bless at the land I'm gonna pray and if you need to be saved you feel God speaking to you you come forward tonight kind of Jesus Lord we we're thankful for the the wonderful time we've had this evening but God for those that are unsaved may you save them God help us heal us God give us hope that we've never had before God remind us Bailey you've redeemed us you've called us by our name that we are yours God will praise you for what you do the Jesus name as we stand all over the building as they do [Music] all too where [Music] [Applause] and trust you his presence
