you may be seated it seems like it's been an eternity since I've been here and I want to say to brother and sister Sutton thank you so much for the invitation to come back to one of the greatest cities in America Birmingham Alabama Amen I cannot tell you the numbers of people that wanted to come with us today brother Forsyte wanted to come my son wanted to come but I was afraid to bring him because they may not leave amen when I it's been quite a while since I'd seen but a sudden and he got all these grandkids and got new grandkids and more property coming on the way and I thought well the Lord said to Noah go and replenish the earth but brother Sutton God didn't say do it by yourself amen ain't it good to be in the house of God now brother Sutton is a great great person but but when it comes to preaching he's not gonna help you at all I tried yesterday to get him to hint to me what needed to be preached today and I think he was trying to say our people are perfect and it gave no indication that y'all needed anything it reminds me of a a Baptist preacher got out of cemetery I mean seminary and he took a church that had been an established a hundred years and that had a hundred pastors in 100 years every year they changed preachers and this young man got out of seminary and started pastoring the church and he just knew is only gonna be a one year stay but at the end of the year they didn't have an election so he stayed two years after two years they didn't have an election so he stayed three years and by the time he had been there five years he was feeling pretty good about himself he went to the head demon I mean deacon and said look said Jeff had a history of having a new pastor every year and he said that's right and he said have you noticed I've been here five years the old head deacon said look Sonny Boy this church really doesn't need a preacher and he said you're the nearest nothing we could find and so I'm here let you know you don't need a preacher and I'm the least that he could find but I do have a word from God this morning some time ago the Lord gave to me a message and when I delivered this message to our church the Lord said I want you to preach this everywhere you go this is a timeless message everybody needs to hear this message and so I'm gonna try to bring part of it to you this morning time will not allow me to preach the whole sermon but I would like you to turn to the book of Genesis chapter 28 if you'd like to stand for a

moment for the reading of the word you're probably going to be seated for a couple hours I've hinted to several people what time do y'all usually let out and they said preach do you get through that's like saying SiC them to a dog amen Genesis 28 and verse 1 and Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him and said unto Him you shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan go to padana ram to the house of the thule thy mother's father and take the ax wife from there of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother verse 3 please notice verse 3 for fact you might want to underline verse 3 you might want a circle verse 3 you might want to highlight it in yellow and God Almighty bless thee and make thee fruitful and multiply be the fowl must be a multitude of people and give thee the blessing of Abraham to thee and to thy seed with thee the thalmus inhabit the land wherein thou art a stranger which God gave to Abraham that is an awesome blessing pronounced by the father upon a back slid son verse 10 and Jacob went out from Beersheba and went towards her rant and he lied upon a certain place and tarried there all night because the Sun was set and he took of the stones of that place and put them for his pillows and laid down in that place to sleep and he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth and the top of it reached to heaven and behold the angels of God they were going up the ladder and down the ladder please notice they were not coming down the ladder and then going up the ladder but they were already down here going up and coming down please keep that in mind and behold the Lord stood above it and said I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father and the god of Isaac please notice his father has pronounced blessings of Abraham on him and now God is going to pronounce the blessings of Abraham upon him the god of the father the god of Isaac the land were on bottle eyes to thee will I give it and to thy seed and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth and thou shall spread abroad to the west to the east the north and the south and envy and thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed he didn't say some of the families he said all of the families of the earth shall be blessed turn to your neighbor say I'm a part of the family can I have an amen and behold I am with thee I will keep thee in all places I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee up and Jacob awaked out of his sleep and said surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not he was afraid and said how dreadful is this place this is none other but they say the house of God and this is the not the gateway this is the gate of heaven not the gateway but this is the gate of heaven and Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stones yet made his Villa and set it for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it and call the name of the place Bethell verse 20 and I want you to underline verse 20 and verse 21 and Jacob vowed a vow eternity neighbors say I need to make a vow say if God will be with me remember God his father has already told him that he's gonna be with you and God tells him that he's gonna be with thee but now Jacob vows a vow and said if God will be with me so he is repeating in a form of what his father and God has

already told him if he will keep me in this way that I go and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on so that I've come again to my father's house in peace then shall the Lord be my god you can be seated I am a firm believer in the law of the first mission the law of the first mention is that when you're going to teach theology are you going to teach the Word of God you can't start in the middle of anything you must go to the very first place that that subject is mentioned in the Bible and if you miss the first place it's missing in the Bible and you start in the middle you're gonna miss the message that God has for us can I have it Amen somebody oh I feel the Holy Ghost coming on here it's very important that you get very clearly the stuff found a ssin of that subject that God is going to give to you and so the story is the story of Jacob Jacob is the second born son of Isaac Esau is his older brother now they are twins they're born the same day they're born a few minutes apart but when Esau comes out he looks like a hairy garment he's red he has hair all over he he was not what you'd call a beautiful baby I mean he's a kind of he's the kind of person that mama would have to tie pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him that's ugly and when Jacob comes out he is a pretty smart fella pretty good-looking and the first thing it does is he reach up and he grabs Esau by the heel and so they called him Jacob which means a heel grabber Esau is a man of the field he's a deer hunter he's a goat Roper he's a cowboy he's into rodeos Jacob is a mama's boy right off the bat I don't like Jacob at all he likes to wash dishes and iron clothes he likes to keep house he likes to learn how to cook I'm preaching I can do the interpreting and I don't like Jacob at all and and not only do I not like him but a lot of people's not gonna like Jacob because he's a cheater he is a conniver he's a used-car dealer okay with a used car dealer please stand who's a used car dealer oh my goodness everybody say pick on him I'm going to you know how to know you got a bad deal on the car you drive it off the parking lot I intent right now they don't think a lot about you everything y'all got ruined the sermon everything about Jacob I mean everything bad is it centered around Jacob he's a crook he's a thief he's a liar he's a conniver he's a cheater and the story says that because he's the second born he's not going to mount to anything Esau the

firstborn is going to become the head of the family because he has the right of the firstborn and and and just to show you what kind of used-car dealer he really is he finds his brother in the field that hasn't eaten for three weeks and he's starving to death and Jacob remember Jacob learned how to cook and sew and wash dishes he cooking a pot of soup and he finds his brother his brother in the field and he's fainting and and and Esau said give me something to eat and Jacob says alright I'll give you something to eat but I'm gonna sell it to you he said I wanna buy your birthright I want to have the right of being the firstborn son and Esau he doesn't understand what it's going to cost him for a bowl of soup and he sells that birthright you I'm not telling you anything you don't already know about just hang on for a few moments and so now Jacob is not the firstborn but he has the right to be the firstborn and then when Isaac is getting ready to die evidently he knows nothing about the purchase of the birthright and he said I'm gonna die Esau I want you to go hunting I want kill me a venison I want you to bring it and cook it make me savage soup and and I'm gonna eat it I'm gonna bless you and then I'm gonna die but somehow Jacob and his mother when you find a bad boy there's usually a mama behind him I know you don't like that but I just said it anyway mama figures out how to get Jacob the boy she loved the blessing and so mama connives away for Jacob to disguise himself as Esau and he puts on goat skins and makes him smell real bad and Isaac is blind and he goes in with a bowl of goat soup instead of venison and while Jake Esau excuse me Isaac eats the soup and he reaches out to lay his hands on Jacob instead of Esau he said look he said you feel like Esau you smell like Esau but your voice is as the voice of Jacob and so he puts his hands on his head and he blesses him and the scripture says when Isaac blessed him he was going to be blessed and when the Esau comes in and finds out that Jacob has bought the birthright and he has stolen the blessing of his father he says I am going to kill Jacob and Jacob does like every red-blooded sissified males should do he runs and he leaves home in a hurry but when he leaves home Isaac says that God is going to bless you he's going to bring you back to this land and so he leaves home and when it gets dark he hasn't left Canaan yet he hasn't left the land and he gets dark and Esau is behind him he's gonna kill him and so he builds a fort he's the Bible says he took stone to that place and made him pillows that's not the kind of pillows you lay your head on but it was stones built as an encampment for him to hide in in case Esau comes or the wild beasts come and he lays his head down and he sleeps in that place and he dreams this dream about the ladder and in that ladder the angels are ascending and destiny spinning and God is standing at the head of that ladder and he tells him he said I am going to be with you Jacob I'm gonna bring you back to this land Jacob can I have it Amen somebody it's very

important to understand that Jacob is in a back slid condition he doesn't even know that God has even been anywhere around let me tell you something God knows where you're living he knows how old you are somebody give me a witness here praise God and I don't care where are you run from God he can find you there is no hiding place when it comes to God can I have an amen somebody and when he woke out of his sleep he was afraid and said how dreadful is this place this is none other but the house of God let me taste so every one of us in this room need the house of God in our lives for a fact you need more than one house of God and that's what I'm going to talk about this morning is the four houses of God that you need in your life when he says this is the gate of heaven this is the house of God he took the stones of that place he takes a little bottle of oil I don't see a bottle of all here he takes a little bottle of oil and He pours oil on those stones where he first met God Jacob was somewhere close to 40 years old he had been a thief a conniver a cheater a sir planner I he'll grab her everything bad that you can say about Jacob that's what he was all of his life he was the heir of God he should have known God all those years but he was away from God and now he comes face to face with all nighti God and he takes the stones that place he pours the oil on it and says this is the house of God that first house didn't cost him anything except a bottle of oil that's a cheapest house you'll ever find in your life is a house of God that only caught one little bottle of oil but can I tell you what not only was that a house that that only cost a bottle of oil it an invisible house but you know what anybody have an iPhone would you raise your hand Fiona you're a smart phone y'all have a GPS on y'all smart phone praise God let me tell you what that day jacob locked in a way point in his gps and he said one day i'm coming back to this house this is going to be called beth-el the house of God let me tell you what when you have an experience with God you better put it in your GPS and you better never forget that you have an experience with Almighty God let me say it like this every one of us backslide along the way every once in a while every one of us can get off track at one time or another in our lives but if you haven't locked in on your GPS the house of God you'll never find your way back but if somehow there is an anointing on you that you have put in your GPS God will bring you back to the house of God can I have it a mint somebody he erected a place of stones he anoints it with oil he calls it befell he has his first experience with God he receives a message from God in a dream he has the promise of God of his father upon him he declares that God was in this place he calls it the place of the house of God and it is here that Jacob has his first experience with God but he has one experience above all the others I noticed we've done a lot of shout this morning y'all act so much like Wichita but

there's no experience that Jacob had was beyond his shouting there is an experience with god he has beyond just talking in tongues there is an experience he has with God that supersedes the tears on his face it's an experience that if you don't have this experience all the others are not going to last can I have an amen I will never forget getting the Holy Ghost in 1967 and I got up from the I was a college student I went to college to raise hell I didn't go to college to live for God I was a sinner when I went to college and my roommate convinced me I need to go to the house of God and so I went to the house of God I'm not gonna tell you how I was dressed and I'm gonna tell you what I look like I'll go tell you what I acted like but I said he's sitting in the second row and it's getting scary preacher he was scary he preached on the pale horse rider and Hale sat on that horse and he had last sold hell and and he were pulling Hale behind him scared me to death it ain't right to sit somebody on a second roll with a preacher like that my eyes got about that big around and when he gave the altar call I left I was sitting right where this kind of white shirt yeah you I I went to get out of the Pew and to run to the back and run out the back door but instead of running out the back door I found myself at the altar now I could have got saved I could have got saved in a Baptist Church and and just shook the preachers hand but if then I got saved in the Holy Roller church where everybody shook yeah I got a massage I got showers of blessings I got spit on I got forced to my knees they made me leap for joy there was one old woman there and Fermin saying hang on hang on hang on there was some dude behind said let go let go let go you let go of one hand you're in bad shape friend y'all with the craziest people I've ever seen in my life if I ever get if I escape this place you'll never see me again but all of a sudden I started talking in tongues I found I found myself a weeping I found myself shaking all over and and I'm standing there minding my own business getting saved good and good getting good and saved you know and and I'm minding my own business and and I'm in college and I'm gonna be a chemical engineer and I'm gonna make a lot of money and I'm Miss America praise God I did marry Miss America by the way be sure Jean be sure to tell dolly I said that okay and I'm sitting in my own business and 20 minutes later God messes up my whole life and he calls me to preach and I'm standing there with God all over me and the Lord sing to me I'm calling you you're gonna be a preacher that's the last thing in the world I wanted to be back then preacher starve to death back then they drove all leaking forward to get you a used car dealer to buy I better preach to this side a while back back then back then a preacher was the off scour of the world but you know that was before they had all Roberts and Benny Hinn and all them guys I mean we were just Holy Roller preachers and you know what I stood there and I accepted that call to preach and I made a vow to God can I tell you standing there in 1967 in the middle of Vietnam war in the

middle of a crisis in America in the middle of a world going to hell in a handbasket I'm standing there by myself and I make a vow to God and it can I tell you if it hadn't been for that vow to God I wouldn't be where I am today I wouldn't be what I am today and chances are you wouldn't be here today and this church wouldn't be here today I don't care how much you're talking tongues I don't care how much you run the house I don't care how much you weep somewhere you got to make a vow to God and the sooner you make that vow to God the better off you're gonna be now folks I'm gonna taste something there the Holy Ghost is falling in this house I said the Holy Ghost is in this room right now can I have it in out not only do I make a vow I want my church to make a vow I want my church to vow that we're going to take our city for Jesus I want my children to make a vow that take a lil for God all the days of their life ladies and gentlemen there's a storm on the horizon I said there's a storm brewing for America and those that don't make a vow to God are gonna fall by the wayside I feel the Holy Ghost I want you to notice the valley makes its a five-fold Val he said if God be with me that sounds like a simple statement doesn't it number two he said if God will keep me in the way I go and number three if God will give me bread to eat now every one of us questions our calling to God sometime I was an evangelist preaching in California I didn't have any parents in the church I didn't have anybody behind me helping me I was I was strictly on my own and preachers take advantage of people that don't know anybody they spend me fifty dollars a week and I was having survival's I'd have a hundred two hundred and three hundred people get the holy ghost in a revival and the preacher to pay me a $50 or $100 a week I couldn't pay my car payment and buy gasoline and buy groceries and my wife and I were slowly seeking in the sunset and I had to have a hundred eighty dollars to pay my car insurance didn't have $180 so the insurance man said I gotta have the hundred eighty dollars or I'm gonna drop your insurance and my insurance got dropped cuz I didn't have $180 you know what do you do you ain't got no money paid you don't pay it and and I'm having a big revive for fact three hundred people got the Holy Ghost in that revival and he wouldn't pay me enough to pay $180 car a car insurer and wouldn't like we owed a lot of bills we know nobody nothing and so I said to the pastor I said I want to borrow your garage and he's okay the man from International Paper Company called me and said Morel we want you to come back to work for us and he's not will pay you thirty five thousand dollars a year will ship your car and everything you own back to where he want me to work and he said we'll put you on an airplane Monday morning and you can start work on Monday we need you now and I said mr. Stevens I said would you give me one week to pray he's okay and so I asked the pastor that used his garage and I went in that cold garage it was late in the year and it was freezing and and he had an old desk and I got underneath that desk and wrapped up in army blankets I had a little six-inch space heater blowing on me to keep me from freezing to death and I vowed that I was gonna pray from six o'clock to

noon every day for an answer because I need $180 payment carp on my car insurance I need enough money to get gasoline in my car I need money for my baby's bottle and when I got to when I got to praying everyday I go down the street and I'd find coca-cola bottles and I take them to to the grocery store and redeem them to buy a can of Similac milk from my baby I understand this vow that Jacob made if God will give me bread to eat then God shall be my god and I got the question whether I was called to preach having big revivals but I didn't know why I was even called to preach anymore when you can't put milk and your baby's bottle and you can't buy in church for your car and you can't get gasoline you're getting a bad way and so I prayed Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday underneath that desk in that cold garage that little heater wrapped up an army blankets and on Friday on Friday about a quarter to 12 and mr. Stevens was gonna call me at noon on Friday and I had already said God if you don't supply my need then I'm gonna I'm gonna take the man's offer I'm gonna quit preaching I'm going back to Mississippi I'm gonna take the job and I'm gonna forget this business of winning souls and a quarter to 12 the pastor's wife opened the garage door and came in she said Morel she said there's a there's a man on the phone that insist on talking to you I looked at my watch it was a quarter to twelve and I didn't pray five hours and 45 minutes I mean what's 15 more minutes oh well no matter well forget it and I just knew it was mr. Stevens calling and I was winning in the house to take the phone call and I would go say if you'll send me a ticket I'll be on the plane I'll be there Monday but instead it was a preacher in Alexandria Louisiana and he said you brother Cornwell and I said yes sir he said I was in guarantee Bank in Alexandria he said you baked there I said I do and he said I was walking out the bank and the Holy Ghost spoke to me and I turned around and went back to the teller and I said does Morrell corn will have an account here and she said I'll find out and she looked on the computer and there I was she said yes he does he said I don't know why I'm doing this said God told me to put a hundred and eighty dollars in his account and he said Reverend I just put $180 I don't know why don't what the significance of $180 is but I just put a hundred and eighty dollars in your account and I just thought I'd better call you let you know effect he had to trace me down to find me then at a quarter to twelve fifteen minutes later I got the phone call from Charles Stevens in Natchez Mississippi and he said he's at Morrell we need your answer I said mr. Stevens God has called me to be a preacher and he said I knew God was gonna tell you that if God be with me if you'll give me food deed if you give me clothes to wear ladies and gentlemen we've got a god that loves us I don't care where you're at I don't care how back sins you may be I don't care how far from God you are but God knows how to bring you home we need to quit trusting in the world and put our trust in God and say Lord I'm gonna serve you no matter what comes our what goes all this happened at the gate of heaven called the house it was an invisible house of God but in that invisible house of God is where we have to make our vows to God and then he made a fierce statement that I'm gonna sinner on this morning he said if you'll bring me back to my father's house in peace what does that mean he said if you'll bring me back to my father's house in peace when you come to

God you got a lot of baggage hanging on ya y'all didn't hear me you better you better y'all Greek or something I said when you came to God you had a lot of baggage around your neck well I came to God wearing a three-piece suit in the necktie you had a lot of garbage around your neck anybody ever seen would you raise your right hand if you've ever seen all right I'm not gonna ask if there's anybody not seeing because you would lie about it let me ask you another question anybody ever didn't think you're ashamed of would you raise your hand God what kind of church am i preaching to this is a creepy church anybody ever done it think you don't want anybody else to know about God mercy what's wrong with y'all so what he says if you'll bring me back to this house when Jacob leaves home he steal Jacob he still a used-car dealer I use chariot dealer when he goes to uncle Levens house and he marries he still got a lot of baggage around his neck it's only when he comes back home that he meets Esau but before he beats Esau he wrestles with an angel and the angel removes the baggage from around his neck and renames him Israel now what's this on his way back home he has to be reconciled to his house you gotta understand he done his brother awful bad y'all gettin too quiet you know you can't live for God until you reconcile with your brother there's not one person going to heaven that has hate in their heart he's got to get right with Esau and when he wrestles without angel all of a sudden he's willing to give Esau everything he has when you start living for God every time you go to the prayer room and you try to pray and you have hot in your heart against your brother either you got to get it right with God or you'll quit prayin number two he had to get right with his father he done his father dirty it wasn't long after I got the Holy Ghost that I had to make some apologies to my own father but there's a third one that's very important his mother you know the Bible says Rebekah loved Jacob and Isaac loved Esau and when you think about it it was his mother that hatched up the theme that Jacob only followed and until he was willing to confront his mother and say mama you're not gonna run my life anymore you caused me to deceive my father and steal from my brother and I'm not gonna let you influence the rest of my life every one of us and I'm not talking about the biological mother but every

one of us have mothers in our life that's influencing our lives it may be a friend it may be a cohort it may be a co-worker but every one of us better understand one thing there's only one that can have dominion in your life and that's the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Ghost is falling again right now I said there's only one that can have preeminence in your life except a man hated mother and father and brother and sister he cannot be my disciple anybody that has influence over you that can cause you to walk away from God calls you to not do right caused you to do evil you gotta break that bondage in their life and he had to confront his own mother and say mama you caused me to be what I am but I'm ashamed of what I am and I'm ashamed of what you've done to me huh you're not gonna influence me anymore and number four he had to get right with God oh you say what but he saw the vision of the latter he wrestles with the angel we have all kinds of experiences with God but there's no experience like falling on your knees and saying god I want to surrender to you now listen to this my time to run out and be clothed here this is this one the most important parts of this message this Val that Jacob not Israel this vow that Jacob makes is going to keep the nation of Israel intact as a nation for 4000 years if it had not been for this valve you would have never heard of Jesus Christ you would have never heard of Israel chances are we would are to be under the Dominion of the Antichrist but Jacob valves a valve when Israel is going to go into bondage in Egypt stay in Egypt 430 years this vow keeps Israel alive as a nation when the enemies come against Israel through 39 different kings and queens Israel the vial that jacob made is going to keep israel even during the Holocaust of World War 2 Israel came through that and was reestablished as a nation of Israel because of this vow that Jacob makes can I have an amen when you look at famous people down through the ages when you look at movie stars and football players and basketball players and the multiplied millions of dollars they make in the popularity that they receive when you look at the famous entertainers like the Beatles and the seekers when you look at the rap artists and and and the great musicians of our hour and they make multiplied millions and have millions of fans they're gonna die and they're gonna pass off the scene and most of them are not going to leave a legacy of people behind them to take their place you know why you know why they gonna fade off the scene and be forgotten in time it's because they did not make that vow to God they have nothing to anchor their soul to can I tell you ladies and gentlemen that when you're in a part of the Church of the Living God this church is under an enormous valve I will not bow I will not Bend and I will not burn Shadrach Meshach and Abednego was willing to go through the fiery furnace and Daniel was willing to go through the lines Vienna and Ezekiel saw the wheel in the middle of the wheel but can I tell you they're still alive today because they made vows

to God that they would not let go of yeah I'm preaching to young people here today but tell you what if you're going to amount to anything you better make some vows to God at an altar you better say God I be what you want me to be I don't care what the world is trying to do to me I don't care what kind of influence is all around me God I'm rebelling against that world I'm making a vow to you I am going to live for Almighty God the Holy Ghost is falling again right now can I have an amen and can I tell you what it's the house of God within you that nobody else can see nobody can see your vow except you I cannot tell you how important it is don't tell me how much you shout don't tell me how much did you talk in tongues don't tell me how much you run the aisle just tell me I've got a vow before God that I'm not gonna let go of would you stand quietly for just a moment I have I have been pastoring in Wichita Kansas for 39 years and 11 months in a few days our church is going to Indianapolis to the National Youth Congress I don't know how many times we've been but our young people have gone to the National Youth Congress every year since its inception that was a time when I Scheffer owned 40 kids by myself and I came back Lulu was on our way to Cincinnati and I sit down next to a 14 year old boy this boy had one of the most unbelievable smiles you've ever seen in your life this kid his father lived for God he lived for God he was the bright morning star in our Sunday School in our youth group you can't believe this kid he he walked into the room and he'd like to place up with a smile he was a sweetest gentle kid he would be the life of any party he and I were good friends and I and when I chose my seat on the bus I had him sit with me he could tell you stories about the way he is raised and tell story he was unbelievable storyteller and time would just fly when he was with you his mama was a prostitute she was addicted to crack cocaine she lived in the projects she had needle marks and her arm her legs her neck she was addicted to crack and crystal meth she was a mess but the court gave custody of this boy to his father his father always said right where you're sitting in front room first one up to shower first one up to dance well for God and this boy was just like his father or for some reason another his mother was on welfare and when she didn't have custody of the kids they cut her welfare check and she got ahold of a lawyer and drugged them back in the court to this day I can't tell you we fought for this kid we fought tooth and toenail for this kid

and for some reason other I can't use the vocabulary that I want to describe the judge with because it'd be a sin and I can't tell you how I really feel about this judge because I'd kill him this judge awarded custody of his kid to his mother all right we had dozens of people in our church testified begging the judge and the judge gave custody to his mother this kid had everything going for him except one thing he had never made a vow to God never but never made a vow you better listen to me within months I picked up the newspaper and read where four teenagers broke into a home they killed the woman of the house they took the father to a ATM machine and made him draw out money and these four boys stabbed into the death and then if that wasn't enough all four of these boys urinated on the man while it was dying this this fourteen-year-old kid became a raging maniac burglary after burglary crime after crime and I will never forget I have in my in my desk in my office the taped confession of this young kid and what all he done when he left the father's house it's heart breaking he had gone Wow but one day they caught him when the detective said we caught this boy and we put the handcuffs on him just like he was a raging maniac five minutes before as soon as he heard the click of the cuffs every demon the boy had gotten left him when I visited him in jail when I visited him in jail he put his arm around me he wept and he cried and he became the same little innocent kid before the cuff were put on him he was a raging monster but the moment Authority got ahold of him he became that sweet kid again I sit in a courtroom when the judge sentenced him to life without parole in an adult prison and elder rated Kansas he gets one hour a day out of his cell in a cage it pays to make a vow
