I've told people, be careful what you say about people when they're going through a trial, Thank God for his faithfulness and his goodness. We're extremely blessed, aren't we, to know this great truth and live for God. Amen. What about this camp meeting already? My Lord, Brother Tuttle, I I I've never heard better, brother Patrick again today. Amazing word from God. I'm going to tell you that's worth the drive and that's worth the walk down Calvary that you made tonight to get here and the money you spent. Those two messages we've heard, my our hearts have been encouraged and lifted up. Amen. Hallelujah. You can be seated. We're just extremely thankful for all the goodness of God and all you great people taking time to come and be with us. and rejoice with us. You know, I found out a long time ago, your friends want you to do good. But I'm glad I don't have those I'm glad I got the kind of friends that we're encouraging one another to do our best to work for God to be what God wants all of us to be. Amen. Giving ourselves to his will. And I thank the Lord. My heart is full tonight. Really full. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank God for the church. I cannot let this time pass without saying how much how grateful I am to all of you trials we've been through with our health and and then to watch what God has done in this local church gave me an amazing Holy Ghost anointed filled son and now a grandson And I'm rejoicing. My heart is so filled to watch God fill this building up and the future of the church. And I'm thanking the Lord that God has allowed me to see this. What a blessing. Amen. Not very far from here is a mausoleum. There's three places that already filled up. my precious wife, my father, and my mother. And there's one blank one. Guess who that's for. Look like a few times I would end up there. So, I want to tell you something. I'm happy to be at church. I'm not uncomfortable. It's not going to get too cold. It's not going to get too hot. They're not going to play the music too loud. They're not going to shout too much. They're not going to love God too millionaire. Are you glad for his goodness, his greatness, his faithfulness? Amen. You can be seated. God has blessed me with these grandchildren. Sister Jonnet and I share eight, her three boys and my grandson and four girls. And I've called all of them to preach. Hey, I believe in women preachers. You're looking at somebody that would not even be here tonight if it had not been for a woman preacher by the name of Agnes Holmes. I still remember the first time I preached. Man, it went pretty good. I was feeling good about myself. Guess what happened the second time? You guessed it. I went home, went back to the We was in Dberg, Tennessee. I had a man the other night come up to me last night and told me that that his folks lived in

Dber, Tennessee. And that's where I did my first message. Second night I went home with mother and she had driven me up there. I was 16 years old. I said, "Mother, I'm not going to do this no more. I'm not going to do this." She cried. She prayed. I prayed. And you know what? Since then, you know what I've been doing? I've been just getting up there again. Regardless of what, just get up there again. Hey folks, we can't stop. We just got to get up there again. So, I just tell you, I'm extremely extraordinarily blessed. Feel sorry for the rest of y'all. It's amazing journey, amazing trip. Pastored the most amazing people. By the way, if you don't feel like that about your church, you need to have a prayer meeting. Amen. That's right. We're not here to pull on nobody. We're here to strengthen you and you'll go back and start a fire in your own church. Sure. Appreciate my son saying that last night. Be loyal. Be faithful to your pastor in your church. Amen. Thank the Lord for it. And I thank the Lord for what he's done. Y'all just forgive me for bragging on Jesus a little bit. I just can't help it. God has been amazing to watch the God work and watch God do things I never imagine. Never imagine 16 years old, 19 years old, a year younger than my grandson, the responsibility of this church fell on my shoulders. 14 months later, the church burned to the ground. We ended up in a small, it was an old restaurant that had been shut down for years, little small building. And but you know when your back is against the wall, nobody has to tell you what to do. You'll just automatically pray. And prayer has made all the world difference. And then to think of how God blessed me and blessed me with a daughter, Andrea Roger. And then got Clint Wendy and I've got my son and Sister Mandy, amazing singer, just singing a while ago. What a blessing and an asset she's been to this church she is. Thank God for the blessings of God and the blessings on the ministry of my son. It's just amazing how God has used him and I thank the Lord for the way him. Yeah. Tell one little thing on him though. last Tuesday night, it's his birthday on Thursday. He turned 45 and the church bought him a car. well, the SUV and I won't tell you what kind it was. You might get jealous. But anyway, bought him that and it it's got a big engine in it. Now, I'm going to tell you, he is an amazing preacher. He is He's a scholar. He's working on his doctor's degree and all that good stuff. And but he really can't death. You don't believe it. You didn't learn that from me. He runs up on the back of cars. I don't know how many wrecks he had when he was a boy growing up with my pickup truck or his pickup truck. And if you don't believe I'm telling the truth, you just ask his wife and family. They'll tell goes, "Well, he was coming down Calvary." was it Sunday morning, Friday? Guess what? Blue lights got behind him. They had to turn on the siren to

get him to stop. Guess where? They pulled him into Well, they tell me everybody's got some clay in their feet. That's what brother Burr used to always say to me, son. Everybody's got clay in their feet somewhere. So, hallelujah. Well, I want to obey the Holy Ghost. Amen. I want you to help me obey the Holy Ghost. I do feel a burden on my heart. Amen. to preach to you and believe for us to all go forward. Time is limited. Time is running out. And I'm going to tell you, it just seems like yesterday I was 16, 18, 19, 20 years old. Turn around twice, here I am, 75. I can't even comprehend that. I still see myself as about 30 until I look in the mirror and I say, "Who is that old man?" But anyway, I still feel a burden. I thank the Lord for all my minister friends. We love all of you. Thank you. So many pastors stood up that left their services and came to be with us tonight. We're deeply honored that you would do that. All these raceh horses, sons in the gospel, adopted sons in the gospel. Thank God for every one of you. me? Isaiah the 61st chapter and the first verse. Isaiah said, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted and to proclaim liberty to the captive and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourn to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion and to give unto the them beauty. Here it is for ashes. That's what God will do for you. The oil of joy for mourning. Here's the garment of praise. Thank God for Brother Crowder. Crowder. Garment of appraise for the spirit of heaviness. You need to switch coats. You need to get out of that heaviness. I tell people, cry a while, but be sure you beat the tambourine a while, too. You don't just need to cry all the time when you're praying. You need to praise him that they may be called the tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that he may be glorified in Jesus name. Would you reach your hand in this direction and let's all get on the up in the balcony in the mezzanine from side to side? Would you open up your voice now? Come on. Would you open up your voice? Come on. Let's get together in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe you tonight, God. I believe you tonight. Thank you for your faithfulness, your goodness, your greatness. Oh, God. I believe you. God, have your way in this service tonight. God, we believe you. We receive it in faith and in help. Now, reach over. Lift up somebody's hand. Oh, yes. That's what we're here to do. Lift up somebody's hand. You're lifting up their spirit. You're blessing them. Yes, God. Open the windows of heaven upon our brothers and sisters. God, thank you for your faithfulness, goodness, blessings. God, move me out of the way, please. God, you be glorified. You be exalted. God, let me never stand in your glory. May you be glorified in Jesus name. Give the king a big hand clap of praise. Come on, open your mouth now. Oh God, you've been good to us. We praise you out of our heart. We worship you. I want the Holy Ghost to help us tonight. Two golden pipes emptying the golden oil is what I want to preach to you about tonight. God bless. You can be

Isaiah proclaimed this anointing and Jesus was reading from the book of Isaiah when he said, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me to preach the gospel." Notice who you preach it to. Everybody say, "Poor." Poor people. Poor people. Man, isn't it amazing how God picks all of us poor people up and up? He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captive, and the recovering of the sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised. That's what he's done. If there's anything we need in our life tonight, it's the anointing of the Holy Ghost. We need the anointing all oil all oil all on us. It's what separates us. Well, hallelujah. Can I tell you? It's what separates us anointing. It's what makes the difference in our church is the anointing of the Holy Ghost. the power of the Holy Ghost. You know, anybody can praise the Lord and thank God for the praises. And if you're a little concerned or confused about going to a gospel concert and seeing people and feeling something there, yes, they feel something. And yes, God will honor anybody that praises him. But I want to tell you, you can praise the Lord, but it's another level when you start worshiping the Lord. The first place you'll find in your Bible where the word worship is is whenever Abraham was taking Isaac up to the mountain and he said, "Boys, y'all stay here and we're going to go yonder and worship." The meaning of the word It's the crucifying of our flesh and doing the will of God. You cannot worship until you have bowed down. You got to bow down to the word. You got to bow down to the standards of the Bible and the principles of the Bible. You've got to bow down. When you bow down, you're worshiping. Everybody can say, "Praise the Lord." And it's good. There's a whole chapter about praising the Lord. Let everything let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. But I'm telling you what separates the oil tonight of the anointing and the power and the glory of God is whenever people worship God. Hey, you're not worshiping until you bow down. You're not worshiping until you're paying your tithes. You're not worshiping until you give your offering. You're not worshiping until you hear your pastor preaching the word of God and it's cross graining you and you're saying, "Oh yeah, I'll do that. I'll do that." Brother Tuttle, you stirred me last night about Instagram and all this junk that people are wasting their life on. That's exactly what my daddy and mother preached. One of the bad things about television is people are wasting their time. They're wasting their life when they could be reading a self-help book. when they could be on their knees or praying, God. They're watching other people have fun. Many years ago, God gave me a message and it was about the little gods. The little gods. I was in this auditorium praying. I was in the spirit walking back and forth. I was seeking God and I said, "God, where do men worship? Where do" and God took me like in the spirit over to the the arena, the Simmons arena just a few miles from here. It holds 18,000 600 people. You let some wacko twisted up, messed up messing up everybody else come in there and they'll

pack it out. The Holy Ghost took me over there. Then it took me over to the War Memorial Stadium where the Razerbacks played. Yeah. 70,000 people. I was completely across the river at the hospital. I hear a roar of a crowd all the way across the river and I'm standing there. What on earth is that? And it hit me. It's a and then not to have enough backbone to declare it loud and clear to our generation. You don't need a a worldly God. Then I got a secretary to call all the churches. And how many people did you have on Sunday morning? And their numbers came in totaling them up. And and the percentage of people that lived in this city, greater Little Rock, and those that went to church, it was just really, really small. Of course, nobody goes on Sunday night. Amen. And of course, it's just a few people that show up to eat dinner on Wednesday night. Oh, and you know what's happening? Churches are closing. You do know that, don't you? Yeah. Back 2 or 3 years ago, we were blessed to buy 43,000 4 1/2 acres building to put the upper school in. and it was First Baptist Church of all places. I knew some of the fathers of the city that went there. It was they they were very proud of their church. But you know what happened? I tell you one thing that happened. They didn't have a school and it finally shut completely down. And the guess what? The man that owned this property we're on, he sold it to right away to the Interstate 40 to come through. He owned the property on the other side. He owned from here about 12 miles. He owned all the property. He laid out this city. And when he laid out that four and a half acres, he said it can only be a church or single family nobody. Oh, I'm bragging on Jesus. Hey, 43,000 square foot building in the center of our city, one block away. doctors and lawyers and the old money and the new money of the city live and have their houses. That's the kind of $500,000. And there's a number of others that have bought these churches here recently. Oh, hallelujah. You know, Something's got to happen. Hey, my my my dad was a genius and about church and the work of God. You know what he told me? He said, "Son, if you let people come and sit on those pews, they will not come back." Brother Tuttle, you know how to get people off them Hey, we can't play patty cake for Jesus and see the next generation saved. It's lost. We got to have the golden oil. We've got to have those golden pipes. And it's got to be golden oil that's flowing through it. And I'm telling you what brings the golden oil is when you have real church. Forget about what the world thinks. But you know before you can get forget about what the world thinks, you got to get out of Hollywood. You got to get out of the ball games. Well, I can tell you one thing. When we started preaching like that, this church took off. Yeah. I I I'm I'm just telling you, I preached against them razor backs. I said, "You don't need to be listening razor backs. You don't need to be slipping down to cuz you don't have a television somewhere in a store watching a ball game." No, we're delivered. We

f Hey, you can't really shout until you You know the reason people can't shout? You know what? You know the reason Miriam could beat that tambourine? Cuz they crossed the Red Sea. Until you cross the Red Sea. You know what made them shout? They were deliverance. Come out from among them. Be ye separate, saith the Lord. Touch not the unclean things, and I will receive you to myself. Put your hands together for Jesus. Come on. If you love him, open You can be seated. We got to get the the golden pipes emptying in with the golden oil. The golden pipes. Oh, it's it's it'll break your heart to read the Old Testament. It's it's it's just so sad. It's like they never learned. Guess what? One king would arise and do evil and the Bible said the next one would arise and even do more evil things on and on. Oh yeah, prophets preached to them. Judgment is coming. You're going to get in trouble with God. We ain't Thank God for church people that pay the attention. You know what? Thank God for you great saints. You wouldn't be here. You already know what we are. You already know what I was going to preach. You already know what all these preachers were going to preach before you came. You already knew all this. So, you know what it tells me? You love it. And there's something wrong with you. If the pastor asks you not to do it rebellious. We got to get the oil flowing. We got to get that golden oil flowing. Oh, that's that that's that's the oil that will bless you is that golden oil. Ain't it amazing how it's described in the Bible? It it's golden pipes empty and golden oil. And here Israel just they're so messed up. They never learn. Tell them how and they still can't do it cuz they don't want to do it. cuz it's not in their heart. Amen. You know what makes a church go wrong? The pastor go wrong. If a pastor wants the world, he's not going to preach against the world. If a pastor wants jewelry, he's not going to preach against jewelry. If a pastor is a fan of a ball team, he's not going to preach against the ridiculous. We're not trying to say, "Look who I am. We're more holy." No, we're not more holy. It's just the grace of God. Well, I tell you what, you can be seated. When you connect the dots between this living right and getting it'll make you not want the world. When you see when you see a son come up and a daughter come up. Amen. I got a little girl around here. She works as hard as my son, but she's in the back working away. When you see that and you see I was sitting here where brother Copelan was. I said my grandson was I said grandson you move over here and sit and be your daddy. Sit between us. Hey this is stuff money can't buy. Do you think we'd be here tonight if we were playing with the world? Oh it's that golden oil that's flowing in

Hey, you don't need gold, don't you? You just need the golden oil. You know that speaks of a whole lot of things. That don't just speak of spiritual blessings. That gold is Oh, it's amazing to me how God blesses his people. Open the windows of heaven. Hallelujah. Brother Danny Looper told me the other day said, "Brother Holmes, I make more money and more deals up here praying than I do out chasing money." Oh yeah. Hey, you ought to try it. You are to try getting out of the world and getting in with Jesus. You ought to give it a try see. Get off that nasty internet. Get off the filth of this world. You're bigger than that. You're stronger than that. My God, brother Tuttle, what a message. You know what I heard Verbal Bean preach in this church? Y'all can be seated. Trends. Everybody say trends. Say it again. Trends, he said, is worse trend. You can repent of a sin, but when whirliness, it's hard to identify where you're at. Yeah. If I had a string here tonight and I held it here and I took and put a measuring tape, you carry it straight out there and get it oh about an eighth of an inch off and you carry it out there, it's going to be way over here 1/8 of an inch. Are you hearing me tonight? That's what happens when people start backing up. They don't they can't never stop backing up. It's like brother Johnny Godair's sermon change. Where you go? When you going to stop changing? We're not going to stop. We're changing. Take this whole world, but give me Jesus. What about you up in the balcony? Stand up, balcony. Help me preach from up there. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free at Somebody said, "The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable." Soon as you can get over that being miserable and embrace the truth, you're going to be a happy Holy Ghost, as Sister Betty Olive says, millionaire. What's wrong with you, Israel? Now, brother Copelan and Dr. Ward that runs the I am along with my son, they created all this amazing. If you've never been to I am, it's coming up in 2026. But this is kind of how they do stuff. But this is this is biblical. This is in Zechariah. See what happened? They got in trouble with God and tell you something. God won't only cut your water off, he'll take your meter out. And that's what happened to Israel. Oh. Hey, hey, hey, hey, get away from that world. Get away. Israel got in so much trouble. Trouble. Zedekiah. He was the last king of Israel. Guess what Nebuchadnezzar did to him? He took him. He he he killed his sons in front of him and he poked out his eyes and he put him in handcuffs and walked him to Babylon for him to spend the You know what my mother would say? He'll mess your kids up. He'll mess your marriage up. He'll mess your life up. He'll mess your church up. He'll mess

up. And that's what happened to Israel. And so it was Nebuchadnezzar in 605 before Christ Nebuchadnezzar came into Jerusalem. God allowed him. Oh God. Hey, when you when you believe what we believe, preach what we preach. I want to tell you, if the devil could, he would wipe us off the map. He hates everything about what we're And the only thing that's keeping the devil back is there's a God that's built us. You can't do nothing with us. You can't stop us, Satan. God's got his hand on us. And then 66 years Daniel's in Babylon. He's about 82 years old. And there's a man that overruns Babylon. It was Cyrus the Great from Persia. They stopped up the waters that was flowing into that city, diverted the water, and an army marched under. Hey, don't tell me you can fix it where God you. 66 years they were in this bondage and then God allowed this king, the Bible said he put it in his heart. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Yes, God can use anybody he wants to use. It's always been amazing to me how he used the raven to tell to feed the prophet Elijah. Oh, he could have used a dove. But no, he can. He can take a raven. He can take somebody that don't believe this message and finance your church, bless your ministry. That's exactly what happened. Cyrus the Great said, "God has put it on me to see that there's a temple built back in Jerusalem. I'm going to turn all you people loose and you go back." And Zerubbabel was the first one to lead the children of Israel back to the land. Don't you know they were stepping high? Amen. They had been out of their place for 66 years and we're going home. Oh, we're going back. We're going back to Jerusalem. And they headed back in the first year. And in the second year, you know what they done? The Bible said they laid the year. And then things stopped. And it was Haggi that started preaching to him. And he was preaching to him and tell them, "You say it's not time to build the house of the Lord. But look at you. You built your own houses." Amen. You planted, but you're not satisfied. You're eating, but you're not full. Amen. You're not blessed like you could be blessed because you're allowing the house of God not to be built. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost in the house. I'm going to tell you, when you are running a business for your benefit, you're a miserable man. But when you're running a business because I'm going to finance the kingdom of God. what? Come on, balcony. Come on, tonight. But they had a couple preachers preaching to them. Zachcharias, he was preaching and he was telling them, "Hey, God's with you. The the former house is going to be greater than what? The latter house. No, this thing is not going to diminish. Churches are not going to shut

down. The devil's a liar. The truth is him. It's not about to diminish. It's getting greater and greater. And that's what they were preaching to him. Hey, you know what Zachchariah told him? He said, "Look, you ain't got to be afraid of those people. You're the apple of God's eye. If they touch you, they're touching me." Yeah. You You ain't got to be afraid of what they can do. I'm on your side. Hey folks, if we can just get keep Jesus on our side. If we can just keep walking uprightly blessing the name of the Lord, lifted up the name of the Lord. Hagi said, "What you need to do is get up and go out there and to the woods and the mountain and you need to cut down wood and you need to take that wood and build the house of God." 16 long years they looked at a foundation and they dreamed about a building. They've dreamed about it for 16 years. They shouted and danced over the foundation, but then they stopped and they lost their vision. That's what the devil wants to do. That's what the enemy wants to do. You know what? It's there. You read it. They got so concerned about the kind of house they were living that they lost sight of the reason they were there. And that was to build the temple. They were enjoying life. Oh, just let the church do the best it can do. No, not not the people I'm preaching to. I feel your spirit. I know where I'm at. All they've got to have is a vision. All they've got to have is somebody to say, "Hey, it's this way. Let's keep work. I was preaching brother Tuttles and I told him I said everything you see down here on this interstate. I was preaching one night three churches back and I said, "Hey folks, let's plant some trees that we may never set under the shade. Let's do it. We're doing good and let's just let's just help the next. Why would we not want to help the next generation? What is your legacy going to be? That you let some rebellious children have what you've provided that won't live for God. Oh, I'm getting in trouble now. But I'm telling you the truth. No, no, no. if paying my tithes and giving offering when I'm long gone, whatever I've got left, whatever income's coming in is still going to be tithed and offering is going to come off of it. Oh yes. They looked at the foundation 16 years, but heck yeah, preach it to them. You can do it. Get up from where you're at. And then this was a dream, a vision saw. Zachcharias saw this vision. You read in your Bible, it looked what you're looking at is what God gave him. And he saw two olive trees, one on the right and one on the left. And from that olive tree, there was a golden pipe. Everybody say, "Golden pipe." Golden pipe. I like the sound of that. What about you? A golden pipe. that golden pipe. you y'all want to know what that means? offerings. Brother Andresen just told me that God's gave them an opportunity. Come here, Brother Andres. Amen. How much is that building? They they were could they've been having church in this building and the people wanted to get rid of it and they said we don't want to put y'all out but we don't know what to do and he called them and asked them said well we would we would like to buy it cuz he heard they were going to sell

it and they said it was worth $1.2 million and they would take 200 200,000 and you've got how much? 112 100. They've already got 120,000 on it. They 80. Don't tell me God can't do it. You know what he's looking for? He's looking for some olive trees that's hooked up to the golden golden pipe that's tied in and it's pumping oil and devil. You would like for us not be able to pay the electric bill next month? Yeah. about 600 and something tons of air conditioning running. Yeah, that meter's out there flying. Fly on meter. You know what city? It owns electric people. The city owns the electric company here. You know what they told us? We're the second largest user of electricity in our city. Hey y'all pray Hey, hey, hey. Hold it, y'all. Sit down. You know why we can pay these bills? Cuz we got olive trees. We got olive trees and they're hooked up to the lampstand. And the lights are burning at You know what God needs? He needs some more olive trees. That'll hook up to the church. That'll hook up to their pastor and say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. We can Pastor little is much if God is in it." Y'all sit down. I started telling that story a while ago, Brother Tuttle. I said, everything you see down on that freeway, a young man, after I got through preaching that night walked up to me and it was one of them little bitty checks, you know, now you don't get checks. They put it on the internet, but I hadn't figured out how to do that. It's still checks, cash like brother Cox. And he I said he he he gave me a check. I said, "What is this for?" He said, "Well, you said plant some trees that we might never set under the shade." So I said, "Well, we've started everything you see on Interstate 40." And 163 acres paid for on the other side of Interstate 40. Yeah. It started. Brother Tuttle said, "Oh, oh, oh, Brother Holmes, you mean you mean 500,000?" I said, "No, I don't mean." He said, "You mean 50,000?" I said, "No, brother Tuttle, $500. You know what? You know what those prophets prophesied to Israel? Do not despise the days of small things. Get started. I'm going to tell you something. God can raise up. He did in this church. There was a drum player. Amen. That blessings hit his life and he had never stopped to this day. Amen. That's been Oh my goodness. back in the 80 90 I don't know lost track of time we were about to build a gym out here and new school and man he brought me 3.6 6 million. Oh yeah. Just a common family. Lived in a very common neighborhood. one bathroom, two bedrooms, shared the twin beds with it. One bed for his sister and one bed for him. to God. Anybody God decides that will

get the vision and open their hand. You know when I was praying about this message, you know what the Holy Ghost spoke to me? What would happen? And all the churches that are represented if you uhoh, I'm about to get in trouble. Were as careful about paying your Oh, I know what you say. Oh, that's in the company. You better get that company well, thank you all you front liners. Y'all be seated. We're going to get the second liners and the balcony standing before it's over. Oh yeah.

he had been bartender. He couldn't open his mouth without cursing. He was obnoxious. This is report. I talked to brother Booker this week about him. He told me all these things. He said, "Brother Reynolds was his pastor and brother Reynolds brought him in and said, "Let me tell you something. There's a lot of people in this church that don't like you." And brother Reynolds said, "And I'm one of them. You're obnoxious. you're offensive to people. Well, hallelujah. But guess what God did? He settled down. He listened to his pastor. The Holy Ghost broke loose. He went through this part of the world. He went through brother Burr's church, Brother Burbal Bean. It had a revival there. It was a strong boardun church. They dysfellowshipped. 17 men. Families walked out. They asked them to leave. Yeah. Brother Bean left that revival after setting that church free where the pastor had control of the finances. Hey, he don't just have control of the tithes, he's got control Hey, you're not going to have to answer to God for what a pastor does. He's going to answer to God.

That church went down to about 160 people. When brother Burr left, there was over 400 people, one of the strongest Pentecostal churches anywhere in the world because Let me tell you one more thing and I'll be through. I had a daddy that believed in radical worship. Guess what? You see this drum right here? This drum, I don't know. It It may be close to a hundred years old. Brother Dylan was pastoring a church in Mississippi and went up in the attic and he found this drum. One of the 90year-old men in that church said, "Brother Dylan, I can tell you who that drum belonged to." He said, "Who?" He said, "Brother Holmes, AO Holmes was here preaching revival and he had this drum and he was beating this drum and we had a mighty revival outpour of the Holy Ghost." Yeah. Radical worship. Hey, guess what happened? Guess where I found it? I found it down there at brother Cox's church. It was on the platform. It's right next to where he was he was sitting. Well, when brother Dylan told me that, I left. I come back. I was down there one day. We was walking through the church. Brother Cox went that way. I went this

way. I reached over and grabbed that drum. I went out and put it in my car. I tell you the honest truth, I didn't sleep good that night. I said, "You have stole a drum out of the church." I could not wait to tell brother Cox. I knew he'd be mad, but I didn't really care. But boy, was I ever relieved when I told him. He said, "Oh, I don't care. Keep it." I said, "You better believe I'm going to keep it. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you exactly how my daddy he had a belt. He put around the hardware of it. He took a tambourine and he started be he He'd jump and leap and beat the drum. Hey, let me tell you something. I was a little boy, we'd go to sophisticated camp meetings where they didn't want nobody beating the drum. I could look at them. I had better discernment than my daddy had. I could tell that drum really wasn't welcome there. But it didn't pay he didn't pay him a bit of attention. He just kept on beating the praise. Hey. Hey. Play that camp meeting. Play it for me. Yes, sir. Here. Here's the old Have that drum. That drum Heat. Heat. Hey, we've got pipes for you. The brother Townley's girls put them together along with some other help. It says this, "Lord, let the golden oil me." We need oil producers. The ushers have got them. I think there's somewhere 1,200 or so. Not enough for everybody, but grab you the you precious frontliners. You're gonna get taken care of tonight. Amen. Yeah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Well, Amen. Let's praise him again.
