Man, isn't it good to be saved? Man, ain't it great to know that you are saved and nothing can take it away from you? Whoo, man! I tell you what, man. I tell you, when I got saved, I got saved. I didn't get almost or almost maybe or per almost, I think I'm saved. But, man, when I got saved, the Spirit of God came inside of me, and He took up Regency, and I can't get rid of Him, and I don't want to get rid of Him, but this old flesh, I fight it every day. You know what? I'm glad that I'm a Bible believer. I'm soon to find out here that when you're a Bible believer, it separates you. Because you know what? People don't want to know the truth. Can I put that down there? People don't want to know the truth. But you know what? The truth is Jesus Christ. And thank God that I know that I'm saved. And thank God that some people allowed me to come into church. I had one guy, they brought me into a church. I think they felt sorry for me for being out on the street corner. out there in the snow and the wind and the rain and I said I think you just might have felt sorry for me but he said we're gonna let you come in here and preach in a heated building for once but it's great I think I love your pastor I met him like I said a couple of months ago down here at the restaurant and we had a good time and that's what it's about it's about serving God it ain't about me it ain't it ain't about no man it's about the Lord Jesus Christ And we're here to worship Him. We're here to praise God. And we're here to say, Lord, thank You in the good. We're here to thank You in the bad. And sometimes, you know what? People can't even praise God in the good times. How are you going to praise Him in the bad times? And I said, Lord, I said, you know what? When I got saved, I said, Lord, I'll do whatever You want me to do. And who would have thought that I would be standing here today? Who would have thought I've been street preaching door-to-door? Who would have thought I've been leading people to Christ? Not this guy. But you know what? When I got saved, I got saved. So what I'm gonna do, we're gonna pray and just ask the Holy Spirit. We're gonna ask the Holy... You gotta have the Holy Ghost. I'm not a charismatic. I said it in a Baptist church one time. And I got to praying, and I said, Lord, help us. I said, we got to have the Holy Ghost. And that's what it is. It's the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost. And the whole church went silent. See, I said, maybe their deacons probably didn't come out there and make a good check on me. They probably thought, who is this guy? Get him out of here. But just bear with me, because the Holy Ghost is the one that dwells inside of me. And if you're saved, that's who dwells inside of you. And we have to get this thing right, and we have to go by what the Word of God says. So we're going to pray and ask God to help us today. Lord, we come thanking you for this day Lord. We thank you for your son Jesus Lord We thank you that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ Lord tonight today right now Lord. I pray you have your way Lord We pray the hearts will be open Lord and Lord We pray father God that you preach and teach through this this old flesh of mine Lord. It's all about you now Thank you Lord, and I love you because you first loved me and the Lord Jesus Christ name. We pray. Amen What I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna give a little bit of my testimony, but I want you to turn to 2 Corinthians. Bear with me here, we gotta have the word of God. 2 Corinthians chapter 5. 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 15. The Word of God says, in that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them and rose again. Wherefore, henceforth, though we know man after the flesh, yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things are passed away, and beyond all things are become new. Man, that's great. Old things are passed away, but old things become new. See, I was a young man. I grew up in church. I grew up in a Baptist church in Brookville, Indiana. I grew up and my mom and dad was saved. My mom was a Sunday school teacher. My dad would lead singing. They sung in the choir. But you know what? I was never saved. I grew up, you know, I thought, man, I'm in a Baptist church. I grew up in the Baptist church. And if you think about it, I was subjected to the Baptist religion. Do you all know that Baptist is a religion? Just like any other denomination, there's a religion part in there. There's things in that, in that denomination, but you know what? The Baptist has got the closest there is. to the domination of what man once you're saved you're saved and I'm here to tell you I get that and I know that for a fact but I was subject and I was and I did nobody told me but when I was born I was subject to the Baptist religion like I said thank you sir my mom and dad grew up there in a Baptist church down there. Proverbs 22 6 says train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. I'm living proof right there. It took me 37 years to realize that I was not saved. See the Spirit of God had to show me that I was never saved. You think about it. You said my mom and dad taught. You know my mom taught Sunday school. My dad was in the church. They were active. They did whatever was asked of them in the church. They were a good sold. Man, I love my parents, but you know what, just because my parents was saved did not mean that I was saved. You know, I think about, you know, the things that my mom and dad went through and when I go out here and I see other people that are entrenched in religion and you gotta think about the Baptist too, it's a religion. If you're not saved, if you've never been born again, you're not a child of God. And when you go out here witnessing and you're street preaching and you talk to people just like these fellows in here and some of you at your workplace or on the streets, and you ask somebody, are you saved? And they say, well, you know, my daddy's a preacher. You know, or my grandpa was a preacher. You know, some of them will say their mom was a preacher. I'm thinking, where are you from, brother? I said, what pastor is that, man? I said, but you know, you'll get some of those, because they're so, they're treacherous religion. And I say, you know, just because your dad was a preacher, or your parents was a Sunday school teacher, don't mean that you're saved. We're here asking about you. We're asking about, are you saved? Are you born again? And you think, man, I was submitted, I was subjected to that religion because I was a baby. I couldn't make my mind up. I was there. That's what I was born into. Some of you might have been born into a family that fought and fussed. Some of you might have been born in a family, I don't know, maybe done drugs and drinking and running around and going to different places. But you know what? I was subjected to the Baptist religion. And then when I got older, I submitted to that. Nobody made me. When I got into my 15, 16 year old, I got a job and I was down there in Brookfield. Nobody made me continue in church. Yes, I lived under my mom and dad's roof, but I could have rebelled and could have walked out at any time. But as long as I was underneath my mom and dad's roof, I went to church. But I was, I submitted even when I was working a job and I had to work till six o'clock at night. I would get down into the church. It started at six. I'd be five minutes late, but I would get to that church. Why? because I didn't want to be away from there because I was in that religion. I said, that's why I need to go to church. And that's where I got taught the word of God. But you know what? The whole time that I was with the church, I went to church camps, youth meetings, anything that happened around the church. I was there during the revivals, but man, I was never saved. I was never born again. And you think about as your life progresses through, then I was successful, man. I went to school and high school. I mean, nobody, I'd have to buy clothes for myself. My mom and dad bought me clothes. You know, we were in a middle-class family. I always have plenty to eat, man. I was successful. I had a good job in high school. And then I went to college. I went to Ball State. Yeah. I went there for higher learning. Not that was a four year party school, man. that's all I did for four years and I got a degree don't know how but I did in four years but I went to school and I was successful but never born again never saved by the blood of Jesus man and I went to school and I was successful and I got out of school and I worked different many different various jobs but man I wanted to be a state police officer a state trooper man that's what I wanted to be and I set my mind on it and finally I think they felt sorry for me and they finally hired me and I got on the state police and I was this man you have to kick me out of the Academy you can't get me to quit this place man I said I'll do what I want to I want to be a state trooper and I had good health man so God I was successful and and where I was going in life I was going to the state police I was successful and Never born again. And then I sit there and I go through, I got married. I got a beautiful wife over here and I got two good, beautiful children and they're healthy success, man. And never born again. I've got vehicles in the driveway and I got good health and still never born again. I was never saved. And I start thinking, you know why? Because I was a stranger to God. I was never born again. See, God looked at me as a sinner on my way to hell. See, when I was born, just like you, when you're born into sin, you're born after the likeness of the first Adam, and there's no getting out of that, man. You're born into sin, and your father is The devil, I know once you get to the age of accountability, everybody in here, most of you know right from wrong. And you're not a little baby that's innocent. That little baby starts growing up, they don't get so innocent anymore, just like I did. When I was a young man and a young kid, if you think back to my kids, nobody taught me how to lie. Nobody taught me how to be deceitful, man. I was a stranger from God. And I was in the, my devil, my family was the devil. It was my father. And I was born. In John 8, 44, Jesus speaks. And He says, He are of your father, the devil. That's strong, man. You come out here and tell somebody, man, your father's the devil. I told that to a young man. He said, my dad is not the devil. I said, it's spiritual, man. I said, you're born into the likeness of that first Adam and a sinful fallen state. I said, that's why God sent his son so that you don't have to go to hell but in John 8 44 it says he are of your father the devil and the lust of your father he will do I was doing that the lust of your father he will do he said he was a murderer from the beginning and a bow not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speak of the lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it man I was sitting there doing what I wanted to do I thought I was feeding my flesh. I was feeding my flesh, but I thought I was doing the will of Brian Hamilton. But I was doing the will of my father, the devil. I was so deceived, man. And I was going to church, and I was sitting in a pew up here. But you know what? When you come in church, you better not shake my hand. I would look at you, I would just say, get away from me. And I would sit there with my arms crossed. And I had an old man, he would shake, I loved shaking his hand. But anybody else, I would say, get out of here, man. I'd walk in, I'd say, I'm a state trooper, man. I don't care who you are, what you've done. Get out of my face, I'll come to church. That's why you don't put your faith in no man. You don't know if that man's saved or not. And if he's saved, he sure ain't perfect. You gotta put all your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and let Him show you the way. Oh, so many excuses why people don't go to church. But I was a stranger. I never was saved, man. I was successful. I was never born again. And as a result of my sin, I was sentenced to die. Romans 6.23 says, for the wages of sin is death. First Corinthians 15.22 says, for as in Adam, all die. Man, I think back to the verse, back here in the rich man. Back I was thinking, man, that's why I compare. I was the rich man in Lazarus. I was the guy that, you know, fared sumptuously every day. That's what the rich man did. But guess where the rich man is in today? He's in hell and he's still there and he's still burning, man. And I was the rich man. And I was thinking, man, I can imagine if I would have died out there as a state police officer, see the spirit. The Holy Spirit of God convicts you of sin. The Holy Spirit of God, once you're saved, will guide you to live a holy life. You see what I'm saying? But when that sin was convicting me, I thank God that He waited 37 years for me. And people that know me know how crude and rude I was. They know how hardened my heart was. And I don't blame anybody else except my father was the devil. That's who I blame. But I would give in to that. But I think back when I was a state trooper, all the times I would come close to dying. Driving like a maniac for what? To catch a speeder? I almost t-boned some old truck. I don't even know who was in it. But God drove around through that truck and that guardrail down there in Franklin County, or Fayette County. I didn't know how to drive like that. I look back, that was God sparing my life. See everybody, if I would have died back before I got saved about four years ago, everybody would have came into the church. There would have been my body laying out. in a casket or whatever they put me in I don't know a pine box maybe they laid me on the floor I don't know if I've been laying there oh don't he looks so natural man what are you talking about I've been laying there dead in hell and they would come up they'd walk by my funeral and they would look at me say well Brian he went to church man he was saved when he was a kid you know what he's in heaven I would have been like the rich man in hell said send him to my father's house for I have many brethren I've got a sister and I've got aunts and uncles and nephews and nieces because once you die you ain't gonna know you're gonna know the truth there ain't nobody gonna tell you what's right and wrong then because you know it and I've been sitting in hell screaming out SID LAZARUS that he may dip his finger in water and cool my tongue for I'm tormented in this flame." Folks, hell is real, man. And I tell you, I don't want anybody to go there, but you've got free will and it's your choice. You choose heaven or hell. And man, I thought, oh God, what is going on here? I'm not saying I was successful. So there I am in the state police academy. Yeah, man, I go to the state police academy. doing what I want to do. And I'm married, no kids in Indianapolis. And guess what, man, I look back, the Spirit of God was convicting me. And I thought, man, what is this? What's going on here? And I went to a Baptist church, and I'm telling you, you gotta watch what you say to people. But I went up to an altar, I know what the old man, I don't know if he's a deacon or what he was, really nice old man. And I come up here, I said, I know something ain't right in my spirit, I don't know what it is, I just know something ain't right. Because back then I really didn't know anything about the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit. I had no clue, man. And I walk up here. He said, Brian, once you're saved, you're saved. And I thought, man, I know. I know, man. I grew up a Baptist church, man. I was a Baptist before I was born again, man. And I sat there. I sat at the altar. And I said, but something ain't right. So we get up. I waited for you. I never went to that altar, man. And I get there, I waited for the Baptist church, the preacher after church. I said, something ain't right. Something ain't right. And he said something, I don't remember what he said. So I go back home to Brookville and I talk to my mom and dad and I go up to an altar. It's probably 12 years ago. And I come up to an altar and I've knelt down. I shed some tears and I got up out of that altar and I walked out and I said, maybe to a couple of my friends, I said, I finally get it. And I didn't. See, I walked right back out and did what I was doing. I'm not saying you're perfect once you're saved. I'm saying that there was no Holy Spirit inside of me convicting me of my sin. Because I can continue to walk while I was walking with no change, nothing, man, and then have no care in the world. I can continue, there was no change because why? Because the Holy Spirit of God never came inside. You can lip service man, you can say a prayer all you want and you can sit there and cry all you want until you open your heart and ask Jesus because He knows your heart and it comes from your heart and He knows if you get saved and I'm telling you once you get saved there ain't nobody gonna talk you out of it it ain't nothing can separate you from the love of God and I'm telling you man you want to serve God you want to tell people how can you keep your mouth shut when people are going to die around you and going to hell every day man you gotta tell them Bible says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God people say well Brian I'm just gonna sit here and I'm just gonna let them see how I live Boy, if you see how I live sometimes, you'll never get saved. Are you kidding me? You better get born again and you better surrender your life to Christ and ask Him to give you that power, give you that excitement and that boldness to go into this world and serve God. And I thought, man, so I get back and I'm not saved. Here I am, man. I'm in the police academy. I come out. I'm working my hometown. I'm working Brookville. I'm in the state, man. I'm a police officer, man. Look at me. I'm sure there's many of them around here. They're human. Police officers are human. Y'all know that, right? And y'all know all police officers ain't saved. And y'all know all police officers that are saved ain't in the will of God, just like everybody else in the world. We're human. But man, over four years ago, in my living room floor, reaping what I've been sowing, man. And I don't like the adverse, but it's true. Reap what I was sowing on my living room floor, the Spirit of God met me. And you know what? He opened my eyes and I realized this old boy ain't saved. This old boy ain't never been born again. You've been making, just joking around with people. deceiving everybody else around you but God knew that I wasn't saved I said man there's no cookie cutter prayer I just said well I don't remember what I said I know I got saved come and save me man I'm tired of living this way come in my heart and you know what I did I surrendered my life to Christ that same day conversation in that living room floor and I got up man and I knew I was saved man I walked out ain't no there wasn't no lightning storm there wasn't no no vision or anything like that but I knew inside of me man spirit of God came in and I said Lord I'll do whatever you want me to do and he said to me you mean God speaks to you well yes he does The spirit of God dwells inside of me. And I said, man, listen, that's still small voice inside of me. And he said, OK, go to every door in Brookville. What? Go to every door in Brookville, knock on every door in Brookville and tell them about Jesus. I said, okay Lord, I'll do it. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'll do it. So we go out, we start knocking on doors, man, and we're just telling people about Jesus and how great He is. I've knocked on doors, I ain't seen people since I graduated high school. They're like, Brian? And I love it because that's what people do. Like Debbie said, Brian? You mean Brian Hamilton? Yes, that's right, Brian Hamilton got saved, man. Because all the glory goes to God, it ain't about me. And you sit there and you knock on these doors. And people are like, Brian, I knew you from high school. I said, I got saved, man. Don't you work for the state police? Yeah. I said, did I pull you over? I got to apologize to you. Because I went to numerous people, apologized to them. I even apologized to a guy that God told me to that was on a traffic stop that I pulled over. I had to go knock on his door and apologize to him. Why? Because God said so. I want to be used by God in the way he wants me to be used. I fall short every day, but God knows my heart. He keeps giving me another opportunity. Praise God. So after we go door to door, start seeing people saved. I said, man, once I saw somebody get saved, it's like the most crazy addiction I've ever been in all my life, man. I'm addicted to Jesus. I'm addicted to seeing people getting saved. I'm addicted to seeing people get in church and getting discipled and go out into the world and go out and spread that gospel and tell people about Jesus. See, an old heroin addict told me one day, he said, Brian, he said, I've tried 15 million whatever steps, man. He goes, but there was one step and that was Jesus Christ that set me free. And that's it. It's the step of Jesus. So after we go down, man, we're out there street knocking, man, knocking on doors. And then God spoke. It took my heart and said, go street preach. I said, man, oh man, street preach. I said, OK, God, I don't know what I'm doing. I said, you got to do it all. And he did, man. We got you on a Bible. And you got a voice, man. And you start proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we start seeing old boys coming in off the sidewalk getting saved. We've seen boys driving by. Man, I'm preaching. I don't even know. They drove by. They go back to the back end. They're like, man, something told me to come back. And my dad and an older guy that I've met, man, they're back there. And as I'm preaching the word of God, this guy behind me is getting saved. People, this past week, Friday, three Fridays in a row in Connersville on Eastern and Fifth Street there in Connersville in front of the Hardee's. Back three weeks ago, an old man got saved. You know what? It was wild. He didn't even get out of his car. It was lightning, thunder, and the wind was blowing. He pulled in. It was like a drive-thru salvation, man. He stayed in his car, and I got the word of God out. And I showed him the Word of God, because the Word of God don't go void. It's quick, it's alive today, brother. And the Spirit of God was drawn on him. And he got saved the next weekend. A 17-year-old man walks across the street. And I asked him if he was saved. He gets saved this past Friday. A 23-year-old man, same intersection, walking by with his girlfriend. He stops and he gets saved. Why is that? Because faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Open your mouth to proclaim the gospel and let Jesus Christ the spirit the one that saves it ain't nothing to do with us It's all about Jesus man. It's the best life. I've ever lived we gonna fast-forward I Said man Lord, I'll do whatever you want me to do once I got saved in my living room floor. I Was saved you ain't talking me out. I Ain't boasting about me cuz I know what I am I'm filthy I'm disgusting, but man, the spirit of God dwells inside of me. I still got this old stinking flesh though, but master Lord, do whatever you want me to do. I went to my closest friends, one on the police department. He said, Brian, as long as you don't start witnessing all traffic stops. Oh, not me. Not me. God's crazy man. In a good way. I love the Lord. I say that sometimes people look at me, man. I got a relationship. I have a father. I cried daddy. I said, Lord! I said, oh man. First traffic stop out there on 27, man. There was an old boy from Kentucky. And you'll love this one. I'm about out of time. This old boy from Kentucky. And I said he was a foreigner from Kentucky in a one church. And I said it wrong. People from Kentucky are not a foreigner, man. I love Kentuckians. They're the best people I ever pull over. They want me to climb in their car and talk to them about Jesus on the whole traffic stop. I love it, man. I forgot about the traffic stop, about the ticket. I said, just get on out of here. Let's talk about Jesus for 20 minutes, man. So we sit there, this old man, he says, boy, he gets saved, man. We're probably 45 minutes of a traffic stop, he gets saved. Why? Because God said, open your mouth. People, when you open your mouth, when God tells you to do something, you can't mess it up. I'll tell you right now, you cannot mess it up, because God's in it. I couldn't mess that thing up if I wanted to. And he got saved and then I get sued. Over about two years ago I get sued, that's a long story. But you know what I asked God, I said, what do you want me to do Lord? I said, I'll keep doing what you want me to do. I said, I'll do it Lord. I kid you not, man, I go back up on 27, that first car I stopped, I get bebop out of the car and I thought, man, I walked around, I was just kind of out of it. I was kind of, man, Lord, this is crazy, what's going on? I walk around, there's a bumper sticker on the back of that car that says, are you saved? I said, man, Lord, if I didn't somebody slip me upside the head. I walked to that guy, I said, is this your car? He's looked at me like I was crazy. He's like, yeah, it's my car. I said, did you just buy it? He said, no, man, it's my car. I said, man, yes. He goes, what do you mean? I said, yes, I'm saved. And man, we got to talking. Many people and domestics got saved. Before I go in there and I tell you, I tell you to go to hell, man, before I got saved. But now I don't want you to go to hell. Before, man, I care less about you. And now I want to see you go to heaven. and I tell you what man as you go through and I said I'll keep doing what you want me to do Lord so I kept witnessing and I kept telling people about Jesus and then this past January I get a phone call from the lieutenant saying hey man you got another complaint I said man I'm out cutting wood in the woods with my wife first thing I said I said I'm fired I probably should have said that I got my wife all worked up and everything else Three months at the post, an hour and 25 minutes one way because they closed Carnesville post down. I don't like, I hate working at the post. I hate sitting at that place. I never did like sitting at the post answering phones. But you know what? Some old boy called in one day. It's recorded lines, Debbie knows. It's recorded lines. This old boy called. He said, I want what you got. I said, I got Jesus. I said, you got to get born again, sir. Guess what? He got saved over the telephone. Sitting in the post man, they got saved. People coming in the post, 18 year old boy, the second they sit at the post got saved. And then you fast forward through the whole time, many different state troopers I've never seen in my life. I got to talk to a witness to him, the copy machine guy comes in. He's saved, I got to pray with him. God's opened all these doors up, I said man this is wild. And then you fast forward, and they break down three charges of insubordination. I already knew it was going that way, the way they questioned. But the guy that questioned me was a sergeant, an internal investigator from another post. And he was not saved. He didn't even know about salvation, like he was playing dumb. He said he had a heart attack and skin cancer. So you think as a coincidence we're sitting at the post today, you're interviewing me about talking about Jesus. And that's why I got in trouble guys, because I talked about Jesus. I'm going to fast forward. When I was sitting there, and a lot of people don't know this, you can look at the paper, and that picture of the paper, man, that was a scared guy. You look at that paper, that picture of me, man, that was a scared man in the academy, unsaved, full of the devil. I've looked at that picture time and time again, and I can look right in my eyes, man, and see how much hate was in my... Not that I was scared of that academy, but I'm going to talk about hatred in my heart. And man, I'll tell you what, when I got up there, they took me to the third floor, and I had my hearing, and you got the colonel sitting there, and you got the sergeant, you got the lieutenant, you got a captain, you got the legal division, you got a guy over here from human resources, you got a guy sitting in the back that did my internal investigation, and that colonel's sitting there, and I asked him, I said, are you saved? I couldn't do that. I knew I was getting fired probably, maybe, I don't know, God's got a plan. And he goes, Brian, we don't need an altar call. I said, I'm thinking to myself, the state police needs an altar call. The government needs an altar call. The churches need an altar call. Boys, you get away from that altar, man, you ain't going to go right. You get away from God, you're done. You ain't going to live right. If you ain't saved, you're going to hell. So we got over that interview. And I requested an interview with the superintendent. In that interview, man, it's recorded. I won't get that. It was crazy. They started hollering at me and everything else. But you know what? In that interview, man, the Spirit of God dwells inside of me, and I had a choice to make. Remember, Brian, when you got saved? Remember, Brian, when you surrendered your life to Christ in that living room floor? Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, Lord. You said, I'll do anything you want me to do. I said, yes, I did, Lord. It was so strong in that room I'm sitting there. I had, my heart was as calm as it could be. It felt that the Spirit of God is sitting right here. And I knew the questioning. And God said, you're going to make a choice. See, I could have said, I'm sorry. I know I could have. I could have begged for my job and said, I'll never do it again. But when I told him, I said, when the Spirit of God tells me to do something, I do it. Now, I've messed up. Sometimes I've not always done it. But I try to do it. But when Brian Hamilton does it, it's crash and burn. And they couldn't wrap their mind around that. So at the end, I requested an interview with the superintendent. And we go in there one-on-one with another lady. She left. The superintendent looked at me. I got to give him my testimony. I got to tell him about how I got saved. I got to tell him about my family, about my kids, about Jesus, and how great the Lord is. And people are dying and going to hell. The only thing they could see is when I told them all these people that got saved sitting at the post. A veteran that got saved, man, he was getting ready to commit suicide that night. Didn't know it until after I got fired. He was getting ready to commit suicide that night when he walked in the post. He walked in that post, getting ready to commit suicide. He walked out saved, born again. God I said man, oh man But I told him about this, but they said see you did that after we told you not to they don't get it They don't get it. They don't get it. See cuz they're spiritually discerned. I know that I'm born again. I'm saved I'm washed in the blood. I've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb So I go to the superintendent I gave him that idea I cry man, I tell my testimony I start crying about great God is I get emotional I know what God brought me through just like most of you in here tonight. He looked at me and said, I want you to resign. I said, I can't resign. I said, I did nothing wrong. Well, look better. I said, I don't know. I said, if you fire me, I said, that's something you'll stand before God and you will give an account. He said, it's in your court. Woo! I'm getting ready to get fired. I got a smile on my face. And I can't shake it, man. I don't get ready to get fired. I know it. He signs it. He looks at me. He grabs my hand, and he's crying. The superintendent of the state police is crying. I pray that he's saved. You could tell me you're saved all day long, and I'll say, praise God. You can fool me, but you can't fool God. He looked at me, and he cried in tears. I said, can I pray with you? He said, yes. Grabbed his hand. We bowed right there in the superintendent's office and prayed. Got up. walked out, I'm like, Lord, I'm in your hands. There ain't nothing I can do. So that's what we're doing. We're doing street preaching. Man, I'm in a church up in Liberty now. God has blessed me with an assistant pastor's position, going through a Bible Institute. And now what God has got me on a route, if I don't mention God or say something about Jesus, boy, I'll be a weirdo now. Before, as a state police officer, Don't do it. But now God's brought me out. He said, go proclaim that gospel anywhere you go. Let's bow our heads. Lord, we thank you for this day. Lord, we thank you for the time that we can just come and worship you, Lord. Thank you for the blood of Jesus. Lord, we thank you that the blood still saves. We thank you that you're still in the saving business, Lord. Lord, I pray for the rest of this service. Lord, I pray if there's one not saved here today, Lord, I pray they don't walk out of those doors lost. They don't have to walk out of those doors lost. Lord, I pray the Spirit of God deals with them today, and I pray they get saved if they're not. And if they are saved, Lord, I pray, Lord, that we surrender our lives to you. In the Lord Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
