JUST WAITING ON MY CLOSE UP.
00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:36.060
PRAISE COMES TO YOU TODAY FROM TYLER PERRY STUDIOS.
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:38.270
MY WIFE AND I LAURIE.
00:01:38.290 --> 00:01:40.210
YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.090
- LAURIE CROUCH: YES, MATT?
00:01:42.110 --> 00:01:43.170
- THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.
00:01:43.190 --> 00:01:45.100
- I AM SO EXCITED BECAUSE I LOVE HER.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.290
- IT IS MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY.
00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:49.160
ALVEDA, WE ARE CERTAINLY WANTING TO GET TO KNOW
00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:52.210
YOU MORE, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:56.180
SUBJECT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.130
- ALVEDA KING: ABSOLUTELY.
00:01:59.150 --> 00:02:00.240
- YOU'VE WRITTEN A NEW BOOK.
00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:02.280
WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.130
KIND OF TELL US WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
00:02:05.150 --> 00:02:07.090
WHAT JOURNEY ARE WE GOING TO TAKE TODAY ON
00:02:07.110 --> 00:02:08.280
THIS BROADCAST?
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.090
- AS WE APPROACH THE SUBJECT OF LIFE AND THE
00:02:10.110 --> 00:02:12.080
HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, ABSOLUTELY
00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:16.210
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT AN IT.
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:19.290
SOME PEOPLE IT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, IT, OR MY FEELING
00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:22.150
OR IN MY DADDY'S DAYS --IN MARTIN LUTHER KING, MY
00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:25.280
DADDY THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAME MY HELP.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.130
BUT HOLY SPIRIT, WE JUST GOTTA GET TO KNOW
00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:30.190
HOLY SPIRIT.
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:33.190
IF WE CAN THINK OF HOLY SPIRIT AS A PERSONALITY
00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:35.260
THAT YOU CAN'T SEE.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.200
- OKAY.
00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:39.120
- AND IF WE CAN GO PAST THAT, WE'LL FIND OUT THAT
00:02:39.140 --> 00:02:41.220
THERE'S A HELPER THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.170
- YES.
00:02:43.190 --> 00:02:45.060
- THE BIBLE SAYS PARACLETOS, AND I
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.140
UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE ONE CALLED ALONGSIDE.
00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:51.080
- YES.
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:52.240
- SO WHY IF THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SUBJECT AND
00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:57.230
THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SUCH A HELPER,
00:02:57.250 --> 00:03:02.110
WHY IS THERE CONTROVERSY AROUND HOLY SPIRIT?
00:03:02.130 --> 00:03:04.160
WHY ISN'T EVERYONE JUST IMMEDIATELY EMBRACING OF
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:08.260
THIS SUBJECT?
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.000
- I BELIEVE THAT WE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST FOR
00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:13.240
EXAMPLE HAVE MADE HOLY SPIRIT SO SPOOKY.
00:03:13.260 --> 00:03:17.010
OOH.
00:03:17.030 --> 00:03:18.120
HOLY SPIRIT.
00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:20.000
YOU CAN ONLY KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IF YOU'RE
00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:21.200
A CHRISTIAN.
00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:23.030
THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
00:03:23.050 --> 00:03:24.140
- OKAY.
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.050
- AND FOR ME AS A LITTLE GIRL I DIDN'T KNOW WHO
00:03:26.070 --> 00:03:28.030
HOLY SPIRIT WAS, BUT HOLY SPIRIT WAS ALWAYS THERE.
00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:31.030
SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE CHILDREN CREATE IMAGINARY
00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:34.070
FRIENDS, AND THEY'LL BEGIN TO CALL THEM THIS
00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:37.080
OR THAT AND THEY'RE TALKING TO SOMEBODY THEY
00:03:37.100 --> 00:03:39.030
CAN'T SEE.
00:03:39.050 --> 00:03:40.270
CHILDREN GET IT, BUT WHEN YOU'RE AN ADULT AND YOU
00:03:40.290 --> 00:03:43.000
START DOING THAT, THEY SAY WE NEED TO CALL 911.
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:45.030
THEY LOST THEIR MIND.
00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:47.160
THEY'RE TALKING TO SOMETHING YOU CAN'T SEE.
00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.050
SO IT BECOMES SO SPOOKY THAT YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF
00:03:49.070 --> 00:03:52.110
THIS INSTINCT THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU'RE BORN
00:03:52.130 --> 00:03:55.030
WITH THAT'S ALWAYS THERE.
00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:57.060
NOW, ONLY FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE BUT
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.040
I'M NOT TRYING TO REALLY TOTALLY TAKE IT THERE,
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:02.110
BUT JESUS CHRIST WHEN JESUS LIVED ON THE EARTH
00:04:02.130 --> 00:04:04.170
SAID NOW I'M LEAVING.
00:04:04.190 --> 00:04:06.000
AND THEY'RE LIKE OH, NO.
00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:07.160
YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE?
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:08.140
OH MY GOD.
00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:09.120
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:10.210
HE SAID, I'M GOING TO SEND YOU A HELPER.
00:04:10.230 --> 00:04:12.080
- COME ON NOW.
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:13.240
- SO EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A CHRISTIAN, IMAGINE I
00:04:13.260 --> 00:04:15.220
BELIEVE ALMOST EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND.
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.230
HOLY SPIRIT IS A FRIEND.
00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:20.250
YOU JUST CAN'T SEE WITH NATURAL EYES.
00:04:20.270 --> 00:04:22.200
SO EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND, AND IT'S HARD TO
00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.170
BELIEVE THERE'S ANY ENTITY OR BEING WHO CAN
00:04:25.190 --> 00:04:28.060
LOVE YOU REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE, BUT DON'T
00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:31.000
WE ALL ACTUALLY WANT THAT?
00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:33.250
SOMEBODY WHO REALLY JUST LOVES US AND WILL ALWAYS
00:04:33.270 --> 00:04:35.260
BE THERE.
00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:37.250
- YES.
00:04:37.270 --> 00:04:39.060
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:40.150
- I DO.
00:04:40.170 --> 00:04:41.230
[LAUGHTER] - THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM IS A
00:04:41.250 --> 00:04:44.130
BRAND-NEW BOOK.
00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:46.090
IT'S AVAILABLE NOW, AND FIRST OF ALL,
00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:48.200
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.220
- THANK YOU.
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.220
SAME TO YOU BOTH.
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.120
- JANUARY 20TH, MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY.
00:04:52.140 --> 00:04:54.080
YOUR UNCLE MARTIN LUTHER KING, YOUR FATHER, WE'RE
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:56.150
GOING TO TOUCH INTO THAT, BUT THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM
00:04:56.170 --> 00:05:00.020
IS REALLY THE SUBJECT THAT WE WANT TO GET
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.190
INTO TODAY.
00:05:02.210 --> 00:05:04.050
AND WE ARE HERE AT TYLER PERRY STUDIOS.
00:05:04.070 --> 00:05:06.120

THIS ENTIRE TYLER PERRY STUDIOS, 330 ACRES.

TYLER PERRY ACQUIRED IT IN 2015.
00:05:15.140 --> 00:05:20.090
FORMERLY THIS WAS THE FORT MCPHERSON ARMY BASE,
00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:24.000
AND NOW IT IS THE HOME OF AMAZING PRODUCTION, ALL
00:05:24.020 --> 00:05:27.070
SORTS OF PRODUCTION.

12 PURPOSE BUILT SOUND STAGES.
00:05:29.270 --> 00:05:34.000
UNBELIEVABLE LOCATION HERE.
00:05:34.020 --> 00:05:36.000
TYLER, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO COME TO
00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:39.050
THESE COTTAGES THAT BACK IN THE DAY --
00:05:39.070 --> 00:05:42.090
- SO BACK IN THE DAY FDR ACTUALLY STAYED IN THIS COTTAGE.
00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:45.090
- WOW.
00:05:45.110 --> 00:05:46.160
- SEVERAL PRESIDENTS STAYED RIGHT HERE IN THIS
00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:48.240
ONE WE'RE AT WHEN IT WAS THE ARMY BASE.
00:05:48.260 --> 00:05:53.060
- MY GOODNESS.
00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:54.140
- AND WHEN IT WAS THE ARMY BASE, I ACTUALLY
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.190
WENT SCHOOL -- I GOT MY MASTER'S DEGREE FROM
00:05:56.210 --> 00:05:59.050
CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY AT THE CAMPUS
00:05:59.070 --> 00:06:01.180
OF FORT MCPHERSON, SO NOW TYLER, WE LIVE IN THE AGE
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:04.040
OF REPURPOSING.
00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.100
THEY REPURPOSE HOUSING AND FOOD.
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.290
HE HAS REPURPOSED THIS FOR A VERY USEFUL EFFORT,
00:06:09.010 --> 00:06:11.170
AND IT'S AMAZING WHAT HE'S DONE HERE.
00:06:11.190 --> 00:06:14.070
- JUST BEAUTIFUL.
00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:17.290
- WE'RE GOING TO GET TO GO INTO THE SOMETHING
00:06:18.010 --> 00:06:20.000
VERY DEEP, SO WE WANT TO GO INTO THIS IDEA.
00:06:20.020 --> 00:06:24.240
NOW, I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT SOME
00:06:24.260 --> 00:06:26.260
PEOPLE MIGHT NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND.
00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:29.010
YULE BACK ME UP BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT MY BACK ON
00:06:29.030 --> 00:06:30.240
THIS, I KNOW YOU DO.
00:06:30.260 --> 00:06:34.140
COULD -- WHY WHEN I SIT HERE ACROSS FROM YOU DO I
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.250
WANT TO SAY, LET THE FORCE BE WITH YOU?
00:06:38.270 --> 00:06:41.260
[LAUGHTER] ANYBODY THAT KNOWS YOU WELL AND
00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.020
OBVIOUSLY --YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING THE HOLY
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.000
SPIRIT AND ONE OR TWO OF US HERE ON THIS SET ARE
00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:51.240
STAR WARS FANS.
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:53.150
COME ON WITH IT.
00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:55.230
- FORCE BE WITH YOU.
00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:57.210
[SHUSHING LIKE A LIGHT SABER]
00:06:57.230 --> 00:06:59.220
- SO ULTIMATELY THERE IS THIS UNSEEN PART OF THE
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.110
GOD HEAD, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HIM.
00:07:04.130 --> 00:07:09.070
HE'S THE ONE THAT CALLS PEOPLE TO REPENTANCE.
00:07:09.090 --> 00:07:12.090
SO I CAN'T TELL YOU TODAY THAT THERE COULD BE A
00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:16.040
MORE IMPORTANT THING FOR US TO DISCUSS.
00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:18.170
- ABSOLUTELY.
00:07:18.190 --> 00:07:20.090
- THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:07:20.110 --> 00:07:22.170
YOU HAVE WRITTEN THE BOOK THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM , SO
00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:25.140
LET'S START WALKING DOWN THIS JOURNEY, AND HOW DID
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.100
YOU GET INTRODUCED AND COME TO KNOW THE PERSON
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.230
OF HOLY SPIRIT?
00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:34.110
- ME KNOWING HOLY SPIRIT THE WAY I KNOW HOLY
00:07:34.130 --> 00:07:38.010
SPIRIT TODAY, AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T EVEN SAY THE
00:07:38.030 --> 00:07:40.160
HOLY SPIRIT.
00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:42.070
HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, AND WHEN I WAS A YOUNG
00:07:42.090 --> 00:07:45.080
GIRL, I WAS NOT A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN OR
00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:47.140
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND I'VE DABBLED IN THE
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.190
OCCULT AND THE FORCES AND THE THIS AND THE THAT AND
00:07:49.210 --> 00:07:52.020
ALL OF THAT, BUT THERE WAS ALWAYS A PRESENCE IN
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.120
MY LIFE.
00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:56.060
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHO IT WAS AND THEN LATER WHO HE
00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:00.030
WAS, AND THEN WITH GOD ALONG, STRONG, ETERNAL
00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:05.040
PERMANENT, INCREDIBLE FORCE, THAT FORCE HAS
00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.100
BEEN WITH ME ALL MY LIFE.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.120
AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY I RELATE.
00:08:09.140 --> 00:08:10.200
YOU MENTION STAR WARS OR STAR TREK AND EVEN THE
00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:14.080
COLOR OF THE BOOK, THAT CAME FROM HOLY SPIRIT
00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:16.120
BECAUSE WE HAD A COVER, AND IT WAS DESIGNED
00:08:16.140 --> 00:08:18.280
TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.210
I THINK WE SENT IT TO YOU AND IT LOOKED NOTHING
00:08:20.230 --> 00:08:22.270
LIKE THAT, SO THE COVER ENDED UP, THE SPIRIT OF
00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:25.280
THE DREAM IT JUST HAS LIGHT IN THE CENTER.
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.250
IT DOESN'T HAVE A DOVE OR ANYBODY SPEAKING IN
00:08:27.270 --> 00:08:30.030
TONGUES AND ALL OF THAT, DOESN'T HAVE A PICTURE OF
00:08:30.050 --> 00:08:32.080
A BIBLE.
00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:34.020
AND THEY SAID WELL, GOD IS A WOMAN A CHRISTIAN?
00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:36.140
THERE'S NO SYMBOL THAT WE CAN RELATE TO [LAUGHTER]
00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:38.220
BUT IT'S JUST THE BEAUTY OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.110
THE LIGHT OF THE LORD LIVING IN US.
00:08:41.130 --> 00:08:44.070
SO ALL THROUGH MY LIFE I CAN RECALL HOLY SPIRIT
00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:46.220
BEING THERE.
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.170
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS HOLY SPIRIT OR HE
00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:50.200
WAS HOLY SPIRIT UNTIL AFTER I BECAME A BORN
00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:54.000
AGAIN CHRISTIAN IN 1983.
00:08:54.020 --> 00:08:56.170
- EARLIER YOU WERE SAYING THAT YOUR FATHER
00:08:56.190 --> 00:09:01.070
AND HIS BROTHER, MARTIN LUTHER KING, WHO WE'RE
00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:03.260
CELEBRATING TODAY ON THIS BROADCAST --
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:06.040
- THE WHOLE FAMILY, THE WHOLE KING FAMILY.
00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:08.040
- THE LEGACY.
00:09:08.060 --> 00:09:09.140
THE KING FAMILY LEGACY.
00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:10.180
- YEAH.
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.200
IS ULTIMATELY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WHEN
00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:18.120
THEY WERE PREACHING, SOMETIMES THEY'D SAY
00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:20.170
OKAY, NOW THIS PART OF MY SERMON I'VE GOT A
00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:23.080
HELPER HERE.
00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:24.200
HOW WOULD THEY REFER TO IT?
00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.100
- I FEEL MY HELP COMING ON.
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.200
NOW, YOU HAVE TO REALIZE MARTIN LUTHER KING SENIOR
00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:30.010
WAS THEIR DADDY, AND MARTIN AND A.D.
00:09:30.030 --> 00:09:32.250
WERE CALLED THE SONS OF THUNDER LIKE IN THE
00:09:32.270 --> 00:09:34.180
BIBLE, AND THEY'D DO SOMETHING
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.020
CALLED WHOOPING.
00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:37.110
I CAN'T WHOOP.
00:09:37.130 --> 00:09:38.160
BUT IT'S SORT OF LIKE THIS.
00:09:38.180 --> 00:09:39.170
YEAH! WELL!
00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:41.060
AND ALL OF THIS.
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.280
GRANDDADDY COULD PREACH IN SUCH A WAY HE'D WEAR A
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.220
ROBE, AND IS THE PULPIT WAS HIGH, AND HE'D SPIN
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.200
AROUND AND THE ROBE WOULD FLY OUT AND HE'D BE IN
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:50.080
THE MIDDLE OF JOHN 3: 16, JUMP OFF THE PLATFORM
00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:52.220
FLYING THROUGH THE AIR LITERALLY WITH THE ROBE
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.170
FLYING BUT HE WAS STILL HE NEVER LOST
00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:57.070
THE SCRIPTURE.
00:09:57.090 --> 00:09:58.200
HE TAUGHT THE SCRIPTURE, SO HIS SONS LEARNED THAT.
00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.030
MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BECAME ONE OF THE
00:10:01.050 --> 00:10:03.040
GREATEST ORATORS OF ALL TIME BECAUSE OF THE
00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:05.170
PREACHING STYLE OF HIS DADDY, AND THEN MY DADDY
00:10:05.190 --> 00:10:08.020
DID THAT AS WELL, SO THAT'S PART OF
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:10.240
OUR LEGACY.
00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:12.160
GROWING UP WITH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE
00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:15.000
TALKING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:10:15.020 --> 00:10:16.210
AND THAT'S IN THE BOOK.
00:10:16.230 --> 00:10:19.240
AND THEY WOULD CALL THE DEVIL KIND OF FLUNK.
00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:22.050
THEY'D SAY DON'T LET FLUNK GET ON
00:10:22.070 --> 00:10:23.200
YOUR SHOULDER.
00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:24.280
FLUNK WILL WHISPER IN YOUR EAR, AND YOU'LL SAY
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.220
SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY.
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.110
AND THEN THEY'D SAY, NOW LOOK FOR YOUR HELP.
00:10:28.130 --> 00:10:30.180
HOW WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HELP?
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.000
IS SOMEBODY GOING TO HELP ME AND PICK SOMETHING,
00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:35.010
HELP PICK ME UP AND CARRY SOMETHING?
00:10:35.030 --> 00:10:36.280
I DIDN'T KNOW.
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.270
BUT THEIR HELP THEY MET THROUGH THEIR DADDY AND
00:10:38.290 --> 00:10:40.290
THEIR MOTHER ALBERTA KING WAS HOLY SPIRIT.
00:10:41.010 --> 00:10:43.290
- AND THEY WERE VERY PROPHETIC.
00:10:44.010 --> 00:10:47.020
YOUR WHOLE FAMILY I THINK.
00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:48.130
- THEY WERE.
00:10:48.150 --> 00:10:49.160
- VERY PROPHETIC.
00:10:49.180 --> 00:10:50.250
CAN YOU TELL A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR STORY AND YOUR
00:10:50.270 --> 00:10:52.260
GRANDDADDY, WHAT HE SAID ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE BORN?
00:10:52.280 --> 00:10:55.130
- MY GRANDFATHER PROPHETICALLY AND THAT'S
00:10:55.150 --> 00:10:58.180
WHY PEOPLE HERE ALVEDA KING, EVANGELIST ALVEDA
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.290
KING, I'LL SAY I HAVE A DREAM.
00:11:01.010 --> 00:11:03.040
IT'S IN MY GENES.
00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:04.200
OH, THERE SHE IS QUOTING MARTIN LUTHER KING.
00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:06.200
DOESN'T SHE HAVE ANY OF HER OWN WORDS?
00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.080
OF COURSE I DO, BUT MY MOTHER BECAME PREGNANT
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:09.270
IN 1950.
00:11:09.290 --> 00:11:13.290
SHE AND MY DAD WERE ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED.
00:11:14.010 --> 00:11:16.040
MOTHER WANTED TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, AND
00:11:16.060 --> 00:11:18.000
ABORTION WAS ILLEGAL, SO SHE WANTED TO GO AND HAVE
00:11:18.020 --> 00:11:20.190
SOMETHING FOR A MYSTERIOUS FEMALE AILMENT.
00:11:20.210 --> 00:11:25.000
IT WAS IT WAS A DNC PROCEDURE WHERE THEY
00:11:25.020 --> 00:11:27.170
REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM INSIDE YOUR BODY AND
00:11:27.190 --> 00:11:30.160
EXAMINE IT TO SEE WHY YOUR STOMACH HURTS.
00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:32.090
THAT'S WHAT THEY CALLED IT, RIGHT.
00:11:32.110 --> 00:11:33.240
GRANDDADDY GOT WIND OF IT.
00:11:33.260 --> 00:11:36.090
HE SAID, WAIT A MINUTE.
00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:37.280
THEIR LYING TO YOU, NINI.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.160
THAT'S HER NICKNAME.
00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:42.040
THAT'S NOT A LUMP OF FLESH TO BE EXAMINED.
00:11:42.060 --> 00:11:43.220
THAT'S MY GRANDDAUGHTER.
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.200
I SAW HER IN A DREAM THREE YEARS AGO, AND SHE
00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:48.020
HAS BRIGHT SKIN AND BRIGHT RED HAIR, AND
00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:50.250
SHE'S GOING TO BLESS MANY PEOPLE.
00:11:50.270 --> 00:11:53.250
YOU CAN'T ABORT.
00:11:53.270 --> 00:11:55.210
THAT WOULD BE AN ABORTION.
00:11:55.230 --> 00:11:57.000
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
00:11:57.020 --> 00:11:58.210
I WAS ALLOWED TO BE BORN, AND I LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE
00:11:58.230 --> 00:12:00.220
HE SAID SO IT WAS A PROPHETIC ULTRASOUND
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.190
THREE YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN.
00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:04.260
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:06.110
- SO GRANDDADDY ACTUALLY THROUGH A PROPHETIC DREAM
00:12:06.130 --> 00:12:08.210
SAVED ME FROM BEING ABORTED.
00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:10.290
- MY GOODNESS.
00:12:11.010 --> 00:12:12.140
- WOW.
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:15.120
SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PROPHETIC -- WELL, IT'S
00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:18.010
ON YOUR BOOK, PROPHET MARTIN LUTHER KING.
00:12:18.030 --> 00:12:21.060
- PROPHET MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR.
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.180
I HAVE A DREAM.
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.060
AND MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD DREAMS AND VISIONS,
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.040
AND HE'D DREAM OR PERCEIVE OR
00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:29.120
UNDERSTAND THINGS.
00:12:29.140 --> 00:12:30.220
WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT HE KIND OF PERCEIVED HIS
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.220
DEATH BECAUSE THE LAST SPEECH HE MADE BEFORE HE
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:36.070
WAS KILLED, AND MY MOTHER REMEMBERS, SHE SAID -- MY
00:12:36.090 --> 00:12:38.080
MOTHER WASN'T THERE BECAUSE DADDY AND MOTHER
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:39.180
TRAVELED WITH HIM A LOT, BUT MOTHER WAS WATCHING
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.260
THE TV FROM MEMPHIS AND HIS EYES GLOWED, AND SHE
00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:45.160
SAID HE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY OTHER WORLDLY.
00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:47.230
AND HE LOOKED OFF, AND HE SAID, DON'T WRITE ME
00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:50.220
EULOGIES OR DO THIS.
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.000
I'VE BEEN TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP AND I'VE SEEN THE
00:12:53.020 --> 00:12:55.100
PROMISE LAND.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.270
AND SHE SAID SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH M. L.
00:12:56.290 --> 00:12:59.060
BECAUSE THEY CALLED HIM ML, MARTIN LUTHER, MY
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.230
DADDY A.D.. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH M. L.
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:04.150
AND THE NEXT DAY HE WAS GONE.
00:13:04.170 --> 00:13:06.170
- ISN'T THAT SOMETHING.
00:13:06.190 --> 00:13:08.170
- UH-HUH.
00:13:08.190 --> 00:13:09.210
HE SAW IT.
00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:11.000
HE ACTUALLY DID.
00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:12.020
- MY GOODNESS.
00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:14.170
SO OUR PATHS TOWARDS THIS SUBJECT, I WAS TELLING
00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:20.000
YOU THAT IF THE HOLY SPIRIT HADN'T SPOKEN TO
00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:23.080
MY MOM AND DAD SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN
00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:25.140
THREE MONTHS LATER HADN'T SPOKEN TO MY DAD TO CALL
00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:29.090
A CERTAIN GENTLEMAN WHO OWNED A TV STATION, WE
00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:31.180
WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE ON TV TODAY.
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.040
- RIGHT.
00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:34.160
- SO HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS.
00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:36.220
THE HOLY SPIRIT A LOT OF TIMES IS NOT
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:41.290
AS UNDERSTOOD.
00:13:42.010 --> 00:13:44.150
HELP US UNDERSTAND HOLY SPIRIT BETTER ON
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:46.100
THIS BROADCAST.
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.050
- I'M SPEAKING TO SOMEONE PERHAPS WHO IS
00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:50.120
NOT A CHRISTIAN, WHO DOESN'T THINK ABOUT
00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:52.200
RELIGION AT ALL BUT THEY ARE IN THEIR CAR GOING
00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:55.210
SOMEWHERE, AND THEY GET AN UNDERSTANDING OR JUST
00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:59.090
SOMETHING, AN UNCTION OR JUST SOMETHING, YOU DON'T
00:13:59.110 --> 00:14:02.020
NEED TO GO DOWN THAT STREET.
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:04.240
TURN RIGHT RIGHT NOW.
00:14:04.260 --> 00:14:06.100
- A FEELING EVEN.
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.040
- A FEELING, JUST DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS OF
00:14:08.060 --> 00:14:09.290
THAT, AND THEY DON'T GO.
00:14:10.010 --> 00:14:11.240
AND THEN THEY FIND OUT LATER, THEY TURN ON THE
00:14:11.260 --> 00:14:13.220
NEWS AND SOMEBODY ELSE WHO HAD GONE THAT WAY
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.200
SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENED TO THEM.
00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:17.090
AND THEN THEY REALIZED IF I HADN'T TURNED WHEN I
00:14:17.110 --> 00:14:19.100
HAD THAT FEELING, THAT'S CALLED AN UNCTION FROM
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.090
THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:14:22.110 --> 00:14:24.000
AND BECAUSE THE HOLY GHOST DOESN'T
00:14:24.020 --> 00:14:25.230
DISCRIMINATE WHETHER YOU'RE CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM,
00:14:25.250 --> 00:14:27.280
A JEW, SINNER, SATAN WORSHIPPER, I DON'T THINK
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.050
THERE'S A CHECKLIST THAT HOLY SPIRIT GOES DOWN.
00:14:31.070 --> 00:14:33.140
JOHN 3: 16 SAYS FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD.
00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:36.090
PERIOD.
00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:38.240
SO GOD IS ALWAYS TRYING.
00:14:38.260 --> 00:14:41.130
THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT -- HOLY SPIRIT CAME
00:14:41.150 --> 00:14:43.130
HERE OVER 2.000 YEARS AGO NOW.
00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:45.140
WHEN JESUS LEFT, HE SAID I'M GOING TO SEND YOU
00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:47.120
A COMFORTER.
00:14:47.140 --> 00:14:48.240
THAT IS GOING TO BE A BIG SACRIFICE BECAUSE I DON'T
00:14:48.260 --> 00:14:51.070
KNOW ABOUT YOU 2, AND I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK WHEN I
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:53.130
ASK YOU, BUT HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN THE HOLY
00:14:53.150 --> 00:14:55.130
SPIRIT SOMEWHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DIDN'T NEED TO GO?
00:14:55.150 --> 00:14:57.080
DON'T ANSWER.
00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:59.010
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:59.030 --> 00:15:00.070
- I HAVE.
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:01.130
SHE HASN'T.
00:15:01.150 --> 00:15:02.170
[LAUGHTER]
00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:03.050
- YOU KNOW.
00:15:03.070 --> 00:15:03.230
YOU KNOW.
00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:05.020
SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS I REMEMBER BEFORE I WAS
00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:06.150
BORN AGAIN AND I WAS YOUNG AND I USED TO LIKE
00:15:06.170 --> 00:15:08.180
TO DRINK BOURBON.
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:09.230
I JUST ENJOYED IT.
00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:11.060
[LAUGHTER] AND I'D GO TO CLUBS WITH MY FRIENDS
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.200
AND THINGS.
00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.230
- TESTIFY, SISTER.
00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:14.230
- AND I'D DRIVE MY CAR.
00:15:14.250 --> 00:15:15.270
I WASN'T BORN AGAIN, WASN'T REALLY
00:15:15.290 --> 00:15:17.030
A CHRISTIAN.
00:15:17.050 --> 00:15:18.120
I WAS GOING TO CHURCH ON SUN DAY BUT THAT DIDN'T
00:15:18.140 --> 00:15:19.020
MEAN ANYTHING.
00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:19.290
I'M DRIVING MY CAR HOME.
00:15:20.010 --> 00:15:22.080
EVERYBODY SAYS -AND THIS WAS BEFORE THEY PASSED
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:23.170
THE LAW GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DRIVE, GIVE THEM
00:15:23.190 --> 00:15:26.010
YOUR KEYS.
00:15:26.030 --> 00:15:27.220
SO I'M DRIVING ALONG, RAIN STORM COMES UP, I'M
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.090
GOING HOME, AND A THUNDER BOLT COMES THROUGH.
00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:33.000
BAM!
00:15:33.020 --> 00:15:34.200
AND A WIRE, ELECTRIC WIRE FALLS ACROSS MY CAR.
00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:37.280
I HAD LEFT THE CLUB, AND I SAID OH
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.100
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.160
MY CAR IS IT LIKE AN OLD HORSE.
00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:44.020
IT KNOWS ITS WAY HOME, SO I'M DRIVING ALONG.
00:15:44.040 --> 00:15:46.100
AND I HEARD A VOICE, NO JOKE, AND THE VOICE SAID,
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.060
I REALLY HEARD I THINK WHAT MY NATURAL EARS, BE
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.120
STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:54.110
I WASN'T A CHRISTIAN.
00:15:54.130 --> 00:15:56.180
WASN'T LIVING WORTH ANYTHING.
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.070
I SAT THERE IN THAT CAR.
00:15:58.090 --> 00:16:00.030
THE WIRE WAS ACROSS THE CAR, AND IT WAS POPPING
00:16:00.050 --> 00:16:02.140
AND CRACKLING AND I'M JUST SITTING THERE.
00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:04.160
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE TIME STOPPED, AND AFTER A
00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:06.170
WHILE SOMETHING KNOCKED ON THE WINDOW.
00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:10.040
THOSE INSTANT RESPONDERS, AND THEY WERE GOING
00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:11.060
THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.120
THEY SAW MY CAR AND THEY SAW ME SITTING THERE AND
00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:13.270
THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS ALIVE OR NOT.
00:16:13.290 --> 00:16:15.270
THEY USED SOME INSTRUMENTS, GOT THE
00:16:15.290 --> 00:16:17.280
DOOR OPEN.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.010
MA'AM, ARE YOU OKAY?
00:16:20.030 --> 00:16:21.150
I SAID, YEAH.
00:16:21.170 --> 00:16:23.020
THEY SAID IF YOU HAD TOUCHED ANYTHING ON YOUR
00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:25.010
CAR BECAUSE YOUR CAR HAS METING, YOU WOULD BE
00:16:25.030 --> 00:16:26.250
DEAD BECAUSE THAT WAS A LIVE WIRE.
00:16:26.270 --> 00:16:28.200
- WOW.
00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:30.100
- BUT THE VOICE WAS SO SHOCKING.
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.100
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG I SAT THERE.
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.120
- ISN'T THAT SOMETHING.
00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:36.050
- MY GOODNESS.
00:16:36.070 --> 00:16:37.160
- IT REALLY DID HAPPEN.
00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:39.210
- SO THE VOICE OF THE LORD PROTECTS.
00:16:39.230 --> 00:16:41.150
THE VOICE OF THE LORD, HOLY SPIRIT IS CONSTANTLY
00:16:41.170 --> 00:16:43.260
WOOING PEOPLE.
00:16:43.280 --> 00:16:45.200
SOME PEOPLE LIKE YOU'RE TALKING TO RIGHT NOW,
00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:49.170
THEY DON'T KNOW THE SUBJECT EVEN OF WHAT
00:16:49.190 --> 00:16:51.240
WE'RE DISCUSSING.
00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:53.010
- RIGHT.
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:54.110
- GIVE THEM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT
00:16:54.130 --> 00:16:56.130
WE'RE GOING DEEP INTO.
00:16:56.150 --> 00:16:58.280
- WHEN WE BEGIN -- THE TITLE OF MY BOOK IS THE
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.190
SPIRIT OF A DREAM.
00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:02.050
EVERYONE HAS DREAMS AND VISIONS.
00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:04.060
WE'RE HUMAN, AND ALL OF US HAVE THOSE.
00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:07.020
I WROTE A POEM AND IT'S THE LAST POEM IN THE BOOK.
00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:09.130
IT'S CALLED RIPPLES IN TIME AND SPACE, AND IT
00:17:09.150 --> 00:17:12.240
TALKS ABOUT BEING HOPELESS, JOBLESS,
00:17:12.260 --> 00:17:15.050
DREAMLESS, ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE.
00:17:15.070 --> 00:17:17.070
BUT THERE'S SOMEONE, NOT SOMETHING, SOMEONE WHO
00:17:17.090 --> 00:17:22.040
JUST CARES ABOUT ALL OF US, AND IT REALLY JUST
00:17:22.060 --> 00:17:25.250
DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE ARE.
00:17:25.270 --> 00:17:29.230
THAT PRESENCE, THAT FORCE, WE CAN DO ALL THAT
00:17:29.250 --> 00:17:32.070
[LAUGHTER] AND I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD MENTION
00:17:32.090 --> 00:17:37.120
THIS, BUT THERE'S A RELATIVELY NEW MOVIE OUT.
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:40.040
IT'S CALLED CATS, AND IN THE THING -- IF YOU DON'T
00:17:40.060 --> 00:17:43.190
LIKE CATS DON'T GO SEE IT BECAUSE THEY REALLY LOOK
00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:45.150
LIKE CATS.
00:17:45.170 --> 00:17:47.090
BUT IF YOU CAN GET PAST THAT IT'S BEAUTIFUL,
00:17:47.110 --> 00:17:49.070
IT'S GORGEOUS.
00:17:49.090 --> 00:17:51.070
SO THEIR GOAL IS EVERY YEAR ONE PERSON IS GOING
00:17:51.090 --> 00:17:53.230
TO GET NAMED WHO CAN GO AWAY TO SOMETHING CALLED
00:17:53.250 --> 00:17:56.200
HEAVENWISE OR HEAVENWARD OR WHATEVER, SO THEY ALL
00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:58.260
WANT TO GO.
00:17:58.280 --> 00:18:01.070
NOW, EVERYBODY CAN'T GO, BUT SOMEBODY WILL GO.
00:18:01.090 --> 00:18:06.190
AND SO I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A PRESENCE, A
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:11.190
BEING, FOR ME A REALITY THAT ABSOLUTELY LOVES
00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:16.010
ALL OF US.
00:18:16.030 --> 00:18:19.090
AND I BET YOU EVERYBODY, LISTEN, I DON'T REALLY
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:21.290
CARE WHAT YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE IS.
00:18:22.010 --> 00:18:23.270
I BELIEVE THAT PERHAPS YOU'VE HAD SOME SENSE OF
00:18:23.290 --> 00:18:27.040
SOMETHING, DON'T DO THAT, DO THIS, GO OVER THERE.
00:18:27.060 --> 00:18:29.230
AND AFTER YOU GO, YOU SAY WOW!
00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:33.010
I WAS BLESSED.
00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:35.120
OR I WAS LUCKY.
00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:37.030
SOME PEOPLE SAY LUCKY, BUT WHATEVER.
00:18:37.050 --> 00:18:38.130
I NEED TO SAY THIS.
00:18:38.150 --> 00:18:40.190
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
00:18:40.210 --> 00:18:42.230
MY FAMILY KNOWS I DO THIS.
00:18:42.250 --> 00:18:44.090
WHEN NEW YEAR'S CAME, THEY'RE HOLLERING WELL,
00:18:44.110 --> 00:18:46.180
WE CAN'T SWEEP TODAY AND WE CAN'T EMPTY THE TRASH
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.280
AND WE CAN'T VACUUM BECAUSE YOU'LL BE UNLUCKY
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.190
AND YOU'LL HAVE TO DO THAT FOR THE REST OF THE
00:18:51.210 --> 00:18:53.250
YEAR, SOME OLD FOLKS TALE.
00:18:53.270 --> 00:18:55.220
I SAID, SO GUESS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.110
THE REST OF THE YEAR THEN?
00:18:57.130 --> 00:18:59.010
IF YOU DON'T GET ALL THAT STUFF UP, YOU'RE GOING TO
00:18:59.030 --> 00:19:01.130
HAVE ME GETTING ON YOUR BACK FOR THE REST
00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:03.100
OF THE YEAR.
00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:04.260
SO IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT LUCK AS IT IS
00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:07.080
ABOUT OPPORTUNITY.
00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:08.280
- YEAH.
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.070
- I DON'T BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS GOOD
00:19:10.090 --> 00:19:13.000
LUCK, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS
00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:16.160
US OPPORTUNITIES TO BE BLESSED.
00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:19.110
- TALK ABOUT DIVINE INSPIRATION.
00:19:19.130 --> 00:19:22.050
- WOW.
00:19:22.070 --> 00:19:23.290
I LEARNED THIS LESSON FROM PASTOR ALLEN MCNARE
00:19:24.010 --> 00:19:26.020
AT BELIEVERS BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:19:26.040 --> 00:19:28.150
HE WAS MY PASTOR UNTIL HE PASSED AWAY.
00:19:28.170 --> 00:19:30.210
AND HE WOULD TEACH US.
00:19:30.230 --> 00:19:32.170
HE WAS A MEANT OR FOR ME AND A TEACHER.
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:35.010
HE SAID, WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP -- NOW, THIS WAS A
00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:36.280
LONG TIME AGO.
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.110
I'M STILL THERE.
00:19:38.130 --> 00:19:39.250
HE'S PASSED AWAY SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CELL
00:19:39.270 --> 00:19:42.050
PHONES AND ALL THESE LITTLE RECORDING DEVICES
00:19:42.070 --> 00:19:43.190
AND ALL THIS.
00:19:43.210 --> 00:19:45.140
HE SAID PUT A LITTLE NOTE PAD NEXT TO YOUR BED WITH
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:46.200
A PEN.
00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:47.290
WHEN YOU WAKE UP, IF YOU HAVE AN INSPIRATION, A
00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:51.160
DREAM THAT YOU'RE COMING AWAKE FROM A VISION OR
00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:53.290
ANYTHING, JOT IT DON'T SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT.
00:19:54.010 --> 00:19:56.060
HE SAID BECAUSE VERY LIKELY THE LORD IS TRYING
00:19:56.080 --> 00:20:00.030
TO GIVE YOU AN IMPRESSION, AND I CAN'T
00:20:00.050 --> 00:20:02.100
TELL YOU HOW MANY BOOKS, SONGS, IDEAS, RECIPES,
00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:05.080
ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:09.030
AND WHEN I FIRST WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,
00:20:09.050 --> 00:20:10.240
IT'S SO FRESH.
00:20:10.260 --> 00:20:12.140
I THINK THAT'S LAMENTATIONS, MORNING BY
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.030
MORNING, GOD, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BE THERE
00:20:14.050 --> 00:20:16.230
NO MATTER HOW WE ACT.
00:20:16.250 --> 00:20:18.150
AND WHEN I JOT THOSE, IF YOU GO THROUGH ALL MY
00:20:18.170 --> 00:20:20.090
JOURNALS AND NOTES AND I HAVE STICKY NOTES
00:20:20.110 --> 00:20:22.140
EVERYWHERE INCLUDING IN MY PRAYER ROOM, BUT JUST
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.180
WAKING UP, OR I GET A VISION OR SOMETHING OR AN
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.190
IMPRESSION, THAT'S A DIVINE INSTINCT THAT
00:20:28.210 --> 00:20:33.000
REALLY IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF US.
00:20:33.020 --> 00:20:36.130
- I BELIEVE THAT.
00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:40.000
- THE SUBTITLE OF YOUR NEWEST BOOK, THE SPIRIT
00:20:40.020 --> 00:20:43.260
OF A DREAM, IS A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS AND
00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:47.050
PROPHETIC PRO-LIFE INSIGHT.
00:20:47.070 --> 00:20:49.150
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:51.090
- I AM TODAY PRO-LIFE.
00:20:51.110 --> 00:20:54.000
I WASN'T ALWAYS PRO-LIFE.
00:20:54.030 --> 00:20:55.230
PRO-LIFE JUST MEANS THAT WE VALUE LIFE FROM THE
00:20:55.250 --> 00:20:58.110
BEGINNING OF LIFE THAT'S IN THE WOMB UNTIL THE END
00:20:58.130 --> 00:21:00.290
OF LIFE, SO THAT'S THE BABY, THE LITTLE CHILD
00:21:01.010 --> 00:21:04.160
THAT'S BORN, WE MATURE AND WE GET OLD.
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:10.030
AND THROUGH ALL OF THOSE STAGES, OUR LIVES
00:21:10.050 --> 00:21:13.100
ARE PRECIOUS.
00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:14.220
ALL LIFE IS A GIFT.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.130
AND I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY WELL, THAT BABY'S
00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:18.250
MOTHER IS ON DRUGS AND SHE'S GOING TO BE POOR,
00:21:18.270 --> 00:21:21.050
AND THE BABY WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING SO WHY
00:21:21.070 --> 00:21:23.140
SHOULD YOU FORCE HER TO HAVE THAT BABY?
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.120
AND WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE THAT BABY THAT
00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:28.100
KIND OF LIFE?
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:30.160
I'VE HEARD TOO MANY TESTIMONIES OF SO MANY
00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:32.200
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SOME HARD
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:35.060
LIVES BUT SOME BLESSED LIVES, AND SO LIFE IN
00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:37.290
ITSELF IS A BLESSING FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB.
00:21:38.010 --> 00:21:43.010
SO I HAVE MY OWN PRO-LIFE STORY ABOUT GRANDDADDY
00:21:43.030 --> 00:21:46.100
SAVING ME, ABOUT ME HAVING MY OWN ABORTIONS
00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:48.190
AND BEING FORGIVEN AND BIRTHING SIX LIVING
00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:53.020
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
00:21:53.040 --> 00:21:55.030
THAT PARTICULAR ONE IS IN THERE.
00:21:55.050 --> 00:21:57.050
THERE'S A DREAM THAT ANOTHER PROPHET WROTE
00:21:57.070 --> 00:21:59.120
ABOUT A DREAM FOR THE U.S.A. .
00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:01.280
AND THAT DREAM IS IN THERE, BUT ALL OF THESE
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.200
DREAMS AND VISIONS WERE BIRTHED FROM MY OWN
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.120
NATURAL LIFE BEING BORN AND ESCAPING FROM
00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:10.010
ABORTION AND EXPERIENCING THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE AND
00:22:10.030 --> 00:22:13.060
THEN COMING PAST THAT TO BE ABLE TO RESPECT AND
00:22:13.080 --> 00:22:16.220
LOVE LIFE IN EVERY STAGE.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:20.230
EVEN IF SOMEBODY IS IN A WHEELCHAIR OR HAS
00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:23.190
PHYSICAL OR MENTAL HANDICAPS.
00:22:23.210 --> 00:22:25.210
SOME VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE ARE SOMETIMES MISERABLE.
00:22:25.230 --> 00:22:29.060
I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT OUT.
00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:30.290
I THOUGHT IF YOU HAD A LOT OF MONEY YOU'D JUST
00:22:31.010 --> 00:22:32.270
BE OKAY, BUT I'D MEET PEOPLE ALL THE TIME AND
00:22:32.290 --> 00:22:35.110
THEY WERE LIKE OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE.
00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:39.000
I DON'T EVEN HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND
00:22:39.020 --> 00:22:41.270
ALL OF THAT.
00:22:41.290 --> 00:22:43.170
SO MONEY -- IT'S GOOD TO HAVE MONEY.
00:22:43.190 --> 00:22:45.170
I WOULDN'T ADVISE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.
00:22:45.190 --> 00:22:47.070
THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING.
00:22:47.090 --> 00:22:48.270
OH, GOD, NO, BUT IT'S NOT THE SOURCE, MONEY IS NOT
00:22:48.290 --> 00:22:51.150
THE SOURCE OF HAPPINESS.
00:22:51.170 --> 00:22:54.040
AND HE WILL PUT HIS HANDS ON PEOPLE'S EARS AND HE'D
00:22:54.060 --> 00:22:56.130
SAY, HEAR!
00:22:56.150 --> 00:22:58.090
AND THE PEOPLE WOULD ARE LIKE OH, I CAN HEAR!
00:22:58.110 --> 00:23:00.080
I'M SAYING, CAN HE REALLY HEAR?
00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:01.090
IS THAT TRUE?
00:23:01.110 --> 00:23:02.130
THAT HAS TO BE FAKE.
00:23:02.150 --> 00:23:03.240
ALL OF THAT WAS VERY THEATRICAL TO ME.
00:23:03.260 --> 00:23:06.150
- DON'T MISS PRIME TIME WEEKNIGHTS ON TBN.

00:23:20.030 --> 00:23:21.150
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
00:23:21.170 --> 00:23:22.200

00:23:45.090 --> 00:23:47.010
ALVEDA KING.
00:23:47.030 --> 00:23:48.190
WE'RE AT TYLER PERRY STUDIOS, AND WE'RE
00:23:48.210 --> 00:23:50.220
TALKING ABOUT REALLY -- - THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM.
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:54.150
- YEAH, THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM.
00:23:54.170 --> 00:23:56.240
THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD PERSON OF THE GOD HEAD.
00:23:56.260 --> 00:24:00.180
A LOT OF PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.010
CONCEPT OF GOD.
00:24:02.030 --> 00:24:03.180
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF HIS SON, JESUS.
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.030
- RIGHT.
00:24:06.050 --> 00:24:07.120
- THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER, THE ONE GIVEN
00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:11.140
BY JESUS IS I THINK THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD, AND
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:16.040
WE'RE BREAKING IT DOWN TODAY, SO LET ME JUST SAY
00:24:16.060 --> 00:24:19.160
-- TODAY IS JANUARY 20 BY THE WAY, AND MARTIN
00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:21.110
LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY.
00:24:21.130 --> 00:24:23.110
IF YOU GO BACK NOW AND IF YOU HAD THE KING FAMILY,
00:24:23.130 --> 00:24:31.090
OKAY, YEARS AGO, SITTING AROUND HERE, AND HERE'S
00:24:31.110 --> 00:24:34.240
ML KING AND YOUR DADDY, A.D.
00:24:34.260 --> 00:24:37.160
KING, AND YOU'RE ALL HERE AND AUNTIES AND UNCLES,
00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:40.210
AND THE SUBJECT OF HOLY SPIRIT CAME UP, HOW WOULD
00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:43.100
THAT BE DISCUSSED INSIDE OF THE KING FAMILY WAY
00:24:43.120 --> 00:24:46.060
BACK WHEN?
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:49.260
- IT'S VERY INTERESTING, MATT, THAT YOU'D ASK THAT
00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:52.220
BECAUSE I WOULD ASK MY GRANDFATHER, MY FATHER
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.190
WAS ALREADY DEAD THEN.
00:24:54.210 --> 00:24:57.100
MY UNCLE M. L.
00:24:57.120 --> 00:24:59.130
WAS ALREADY DEAD, BUT I WAS ASKING MY
00:24:59.150 --> 00:25:01.160
GRANDFATHER, WHAT'S HOLY SPIRIT?
00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:03.270
WHAT'S THIS?
00:25:03.290 --> 00:25:05.090
WHY ARE THOSE PEOPLE TV SPEAKING IN THAT
00:25:05.110 --> 00:25:06.220
WEIRD LANGUAGE?
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.090
AND THEY WERE SPEAKING [SPEAKING IN TONGUES] WHAT IS THAT?
00:25:08.110 --> 00:25:11.150
AND THEN I'D ASK HIS WIFE, MY GRANDMOTHER.
00:25:11.170 --> 00:25:13.260
AND I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME YOUR PARENTS WERE
00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:18.000
EARLY INTO ALL THAT.
00:25:18.020 --> 00:25:19.260
- 70'S.
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:22.200
- TBN, ORAL ROBERTS AND ALL THAT, SO I WAS USED
00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:25.050
TO THE CHURCH CHOIR AND ALL THE ROBES, AND THEY
00:25:25.070 --> 00:25:27.150
WERE SINGING, SO THESE PEOPLE WERE WALKING ALL
00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:29.210
AROUND THE STAGE, SINGING WITH MICROPHONES, AND
00:25:29.230 --> 00:25:32.050
EVERYBODY WAS JOINING IN, AND I'M SAYING, WHAT ARE
00:25:32.070 --> 00:25:35.040
THEY DOING?
00:25:35.060 --> 00:25:37.090
NOBODY IN MY FAMILY COULD EXPLAIN IT.
00:25:37.110 --> 00:25:39.070
MY GRANDMOTHER COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
00:25:39.090 --> 00:25:41.060
MY GRANDDADDY COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT TO ME, SO I
00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:43.270
WANTED TO KNOW.
00:25:43.290 --> 00:25:46.020
AND THEN THERE WAS A LITTLE CHURCH NOT FAR
00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:48.150
AWAY CALLED THE HOLINESS CHURCH.
00:25:48.170 --> 00:25:50.230
SO I'D SLIP OUT OF CHURCH -- - I LOVE IT.
00:25:50.250 --> 00:25:52.220
- GO OVER THERE AND WATCH WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.280
I'M SAYING, WHAT IS THIS?
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.000
AND I HOPE IT'S OKAY TO MENTION, THERE WAS A MAN,
00:25:57.020 --> 00:25:58.250
ERNEST ANGSLEY, AND HE'D PUT HIS HANDS ON PEOPLE'S
00:25:58.270 --> 00:26:01.130
EARS AND HE'D SAY, HEAR!
00:26:01.150 --> 00:26:04.000
AND THE PEOPLE WERE LIKE, OH, I CAN HEAR!
00:26:04.020 --> 00:26:06.010
I'M SAYING, CAN HE REALLY HEAR?
00:26:06.030 --> 00:26:07.220
IS THAT TRUE?
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.030
AND THEN LATER I HEARD ABOUT BENNY HINN, AND I
00:26:09.050 --> 00:26:10.270
SAID THAT HAS TO BE FAKE.
00:26:10.290 --> 00:26:12.210
I WAS SO SURE THAT WAS FAKE.
00:26:12.230 --> 00:26:14.140
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.040
[LAUGHTER] SO I FINALLY BECAME BORN AGAIN MYSELF
00:26:16.060 --> 00:26:18.160
IN 1983, AND I STILL DIDN'T NECESSARILY
00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:21.120
BELIEVE ALL THAT.
00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:23.010
SO I WENT TO A BENNY HINN MEETING.
00:26:23.030 --> 00:26:25.010
I VOLUNTEERED TO BE IN A CHOIR, AND WE WERE UP
00:26:25.030 --> 00:26:27.130
THERE SINGING AND EVERYTHING IN THE CHOIR,
00:26:27.150 --> 00:26:29.090
SO BENNY HINN WALKS BY, AND HE DOES SOMETHING
00:26:29.110 --> 00:26:31.220
LIKE THIS [WHOOSHING] AND SO THE WHOLE CHOIR --
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:35.210
WOO!
00:26:35.230 --> 00:26:37.050
INCLUDING ME.
00:26:37.070 --> 00:26:38.210
IT WAS LIKE WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?
00:26:38.230 --> 00:26:40.140
IT WAS LIKE A WIND IN THE AUDITORIUM BUT I DIDN'T
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.260
UNDERSTAND BECAUSE STILL ALL OF THAT WAS VERY
00:26:42.280 --> 00:26:44.280
THEATRICAL TO ME FOR A LONG TIME.
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.220
BUT OVER THE YEARS WITH PASTOR MCNARE ET CETERA,
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:50.290
I HAD THE TEACHING, HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT A FEELING.
00:26:51.010 --> 00:26:53.250
HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GOOD BUMPS.
00:26:53.270 --> 00:26:56.050
HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE TO HELP YOU.
00:26:56.070 --> 00:26:58.050
IF YOU ACTUALLY READ THE BIBLE WHICH YOU PROBABLY
00:26:58.070 --> 00:27:00.200
CAN'T EVEN I UNDERSTAND, HOLY SPIRIT WILL HELP THE
00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:03.090
WORDS MEAN SOMETHING.
00:27:03.110 --> 00:27:06.020
SO FINALLY I ACCEPTED THAT THERE IS A GIFT FROM
00:27:06.040 --> 00:27:09.190
BEYOND WHAT WE UNDERSTAND HERE IN THE EARTH.
00:27:09.210 --> 00:27:14.000
THAT GIFT HAS A PERSONALITY, AND THAT
00:27:14.020 --> 00:27:16.250
PERSONALITY WILL BEGIN TO HELP YOU IF YOU ACCEPT IT.
00:27:16.270 --> 00:27:23.130
- I LOVE JESUS SAID IT'S BETTER FOR YOU THAT
00:27:23.150 --> 00:27:26.170
I GO BECAUSE IF I DON'T GO, HE'S NOT GONNA COME.
00:27:26.190 --> 00:27:30.120
SO IT'S BETTER FOR YOU.
00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:33.130
THAT'S JESUS OUR SAVIOR SPEAKING SAYING IT'S
00:27:33.150 --> 00:27:36.250
BETTER FOR ME THAT I GO.
00:27:36.270 --> 00:27:38.130
- THAT I GO.
00:27:38.150 --> 00:27:39.200
- HE'S NEVER GONNA LEAVE YOU AND HE'S NEVER GONNA
00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:41.260
FORSAKE YOU. HE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE THERE FOR YOU.
00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:44.210
- AND THE GREATER WORKS COME WITH THE HELP,
00:27:44.230 --> 00:27:47.240
GREATER WORKS OF PROMISE IN THERE.
00:27:47.260 --> 00:27:49.130
JESUS SAID YOU CAN EVEN DO GREATER THINGS.
00:27:49.150 --> 00:27:51.110
THE POWER, HOLY SPIRIT'S GONNA BE HERE WITH ALL OF
00:27:51.130 --> 00:27:55.000
YOU, AND IT WILL GO ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:27:55.020 --> 00:27:57.160
WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOUR PARENTS, THEY SAID, I
00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:59.120
SAID OKAY BIBLE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS GOSPEL IS
00:27:59.140 --> 00:28:02.160
GONNA BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD?
00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:04.200
- YOU DO WATCH, DON'T YOU.
00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:06.150
- YEAH, I DID. THEN THEY SAID ANGEL.
00:28:06.170 --> 00:28:09.010
I SAID ANGELS COULD BE SATELLITES, SO THEY PUT
00:28:09.030 --> 00:28:11.260
THEM ALL IN THE SKY AND THE GOSPEL STARTED BEING
00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:14.110
PREACHED TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:28:14.130 --> 00:28:16.140
I JUST BEGAN IN MY EXPERIENCE AND OVER THE
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.130
YEARS I SAW ALL THE THINGS COME TRUE AND IT
00:28:20.150 --> 00:28:23.100
WAS JUST AMAZING TO ME.
00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:25.080
- SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I THINK--
00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:27.240
MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.
00:28:27.260 --> 00:28:29.050
IF YOU WENT BACK 20 OR 30 YEARS, YOU WOULD HAVE
00:28:29.070 --> 00:28:31.230
THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY.
00:28:31.250 --> 00:28:33.030
- I REALLY WOULD HAVE. I PROMISE YOU.
00:28:33.050 --> 00:28:34.190
- JUST CLARIFYING.
00:28:34.210 --> 00:28:36.090
- I WAS LIKE WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
00:28:36.110 --> 00:28:38.010
- WE ARE CRAZY NOW.
00:28:38.030 --> 00:28:41.190
- HEY, HEY, LISTEN, YOU'RE COOL. YOU'RE COOL.
00:28:41.210 --> 00:28:45.020
OH, GOODNESS.
00:28:45.040 --> 00:28:46.110
YES, Y'ALL, I REALLY AM SAVED, I PROMISE.
00:28:46.130 --> 00:28:48.200
- TELL US HOW YOU GOT SAVED.
00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:50.230
SO YOU CAME OUT OF THE KING FAMILY.
00:28:50.250 --> 00:28:53.130
- WHAT TOOK SO LONG?
00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:54.240
YOU WERE IN THE KING FAMILY FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
00:28:54.260 --> 00:28:57.110
- IT WAS THE ODDEST THING, BUT AFTER MY DAD
00:28:57.130 --> 00:28:59.040
A.D. WAS KILLED AND MY UNCLE, M.L.
00:28:59.060 --> 00:29:02.050
MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR, FOR A WHILE MY
00:29:02.070 --> 00:29:04.170
GRANDDADDY DADDY CAME WHO HAD SAVED MY LIFE WAS
00:29:04.190 --> 00:29:07.280
SAD. HE AND HIS WIFE, THEY WERE SAD.
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.090
AND THEN HE LOST HIS WIFE WHO WAS PLAYING THE PIANO--
00:29:10.110 --> 00:29:13.290
NO, THE ORGAN AT EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH
00:29:14.010 --> 00:29:15.290
PLAYING THE LORD'S PRAYER ON SUNDAY, AND SHE WAS
00:29:16.010 --> 00:29:18.060
DYING DOWN SO I WAS JUST ON MY OWN ADRIFT FOR A WHILE.
00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:22.070
SO I STUDIED ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD,
00:29:22.090 --> 00:29:25.020
I STUDIED ALL THE PHILOSOPHY AND LOOKING
00:29:25.040 --> 00:29:27.080
FOR ANSWERS. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.
00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:30.260
TRIED A LITTLE BOURBON UNFORTUNATELY. ALL OF THAT.
00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:34.030
SO IN THE PROCESS IN 1983, I HAD BEEN A STATE
00:29:34.050 --> 00:29:38.160
LEGISLATOR, AN ACTRESS, I WAS IN SHARKY'S MACHINE.
00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:41.080
I'M IN THE FIRST SCENE.
00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:42.270
[SCREAMING]
00:29:42.290 --> 00:29:44.110
SO I GO TO WORK.
00:29:44.130 --> 00:29:46.280
I LEFT THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND I GO TO
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.180
WORK AT A COLLEGE CALLED ATLANTA JUNIOR COLLEGE AT
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:54.210
THE TIME. AND WHEN I GOT TO THE CHURCH,
00:29:54.230 --> 00:29:57.080
THERE WAS A LADY WHO HAD A BIBLE CASE.
00:29:57.100 --> 00:29:59.120
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:00.190
SHE CARRIED THIS BIG RED CASE WITH A SWORD ON IT.
00:30:00.210 --> 00:30:03.220
EVERYBODY SAID DON'T TALK TO HER, SHE'S CRAZY.
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.220
SHE'S A FANATIC.
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.010
WELL THE WAY I WAS BACK THEN, WHEN YOU SAY DON'T
00:30:07.030 --> 00:30:08.190
DO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA DO.
00:30:08.210 --> 00:30:11.200
- YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE.
00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:13.010
- MA'AM, WHY DON'T THEY WANT ME TO TALK TO YOU?
00:30:13.030 --> 00:30:15.020
WHAT KIND OF FANATIC ARE YOU?
00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:17.130
SHE SAYS ALVEDA, WHO IS JESUS?
00:30:17.150 --> 00:30:19.240
I SAID I WENT TO CHURCH, BORN A VIRGIN.
00:30:19.260 --> 00:30:22.270
ALVEDA, WHO IS JESUS? DIED ON THE CROSS.
00:30:22.290 --> 00:30:26.210
ALVEDA, WHO IS JESUS?
00:30:26.230 --> 00:30:28.020
I GOT MAD 'CAUSE I WAS GIVING HER ALL MY THEOLOGY.
00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:30.090
I SAID OKAY, I GUESS HE'S GOD.
00:30:30.110 --> 00:30:33.130
THEN I SAID WAIT A MINUTE. HOLY SPIRIT.
00:30:33.150 --> 00:30:36.030
SEE THAT WAS HOLY SPIRIT.
00:30:36.050 --> 00:30:37.210
I KNOW HE'S GOD.
00:30:37.230 --> 00:30:39.040
SO THE MINUTE I SAID THAT, SHE HAD MY ATTENTION.
00:30:39.060 --> 00:30:41.270
I SAID SO GOD SO MEAN.
00:30:41.290 --> 00:30:44.040
IN ROMANS ONE, EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE
00:30:44.060 --> 00:30:46.040
DESTROYED IF THEY'RE THIS AND THAT.
00:30:46.060 --> 00:30:48.000
SHE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME IT'S
00:30:48.020 --> 00:30:49.180
LIKE A LITTLE CLOCK HE PUT IN YOU.
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.190
YOU GONNA LOOK FOR HIM.
00:30:51.210 --> 00:30:53.020
SO EVERY QUESTION I ASKED HER, SHE WAS ABLE TO
00:30:53.040 --> 00:30:54.280
ANSWER IT IN THE BIBLE.
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.020
THEN SHE LED ME TO ROMANS 10:9 AND THE SINNERS
00:30:57.040 --> 00:31:00.110
PRAYER AND I PRAYED IT. IT'S LIKE LIGHTS CAME ON.
00:31:00.130 --> 00:31:03.090
SO I WAS BORN AGAIN, AND THEN I WAS A FANATIC
00:31:03.110 --> 00:31:05.060
MYSELF TELLING EVERYBODY ELSE THEY WERE GONNA GO
00:31:05.080 --> 00:31:07.060
TO HELL BECAUSE THEY WERE TERRIBLE.
00:31:07.080 --> 00:31:09.220
BUT I'M ONE OF THE ELITE, YOU KNOW?
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.280
SO OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, I BECAME THE WOMAN AT
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.240
WELL, THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE ACT, ALL OF THAT.
00:31:13.260 --> 00:31:17.270
AND I REMEMBER PASTOR MC NAIR PUT HIS HAND ON MY
00:31:17.290 --> 00:31:20.030
SHOULDER ONE DAY, THERE WAS A SONG OUT "ALABASTER
00:31:20.050 --> 00:31:23.020
BOX" AND I JUST CRIED BECAUSE I WAS DIVORCED
00:31:23.040 --> 00:31:25.270
AND I WAS TEMPTED TO DO STUFF AND I'M CRYING.
00:31:25.290 --> 00:31:28.190
HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER AND SAID
00:31:28.210 --> 00:31:30.050
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE COST OF THE OIL,
00:31:30.070 --> 00:31:32.180
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE COST OF MY ALABASTER!"
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:35.020
HE SAID SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST GET SAVED
00:31:35.040 --> 00:31:36.200
AND THEY STOP DOING STUFF.
00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:39.040
OH BOY! HE DID.
00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:41.190
SO I GREW PAST ALL OF THAT.
00:31:41.210 --> 00:31:44.050
- I LIKE THAT.
00:31:44.070 --> 00:31:45.170
- IT'S HARD FOR ME TO JUDGE PEOPLE BECAUSE
00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:48.000
GOD FORGAVE ME OF TOO MANY THINGS.
00:31:48.020 --> 00:31:49.270
TOO MANY THINGS.
00:31:49.290 --> 00:31:51.240
- YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A PEACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:31:51.260 --> 00:31:54.270
IT TALKS ABOUT HOLY SPIRIT REVEALING.
00:31:54.290 --> 00:31:59.000
HE'S THE ONE THAT REVEALS JESUS TO US.
00:31:59.020 --> 00:32:01.030
- HE REALLY DOES. HE REALLY DOES.
00:32:01.050 --> 00:32:03.290
- SO GOING AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THAT
00:32:04.010 --> 00:32:08.200
COMFORT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCE LOSS
00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:13.240
EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT A COMFORT.
00:32:13.260 --> 00:32:16.230
- A COMFORT. I GET THAT.
00:32:16.250 --> 00:32:18.020
I MISS MY DADDY TODAY. AND MY GRANDDADDY.
00:32:18.040 --> 00:32:21.260
MATTER OF FACT, I THINK THE PICTURE IS
00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:23.160
PROBABLY IN THE BOOK.
00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.260
I JUST SHARED A FEW IMAGES AND THINGS WE
00:32:24.280 --> 00:32:26.210
CREATED AND THERE I AM HOLDING THE BOX, MY
00:32:26.230 --> 00:32:29.240
MEMORY BOX FROM MY CHILDREN WHO WERE ABORTED
00:32:29.260 --> 00:32:32.290
AND THE ONE WHO WAS MISCARRIED, AND
00:32:33.010 --> 00:32:34.180
GRANDDADDY'S AT MY SHOULDER.
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.010
BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE I COULD JUST, HE JUST WENT
00:32:37.030 --> 00:32:39.140
AWAY FOR A MINUTE AND HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:41.220
- LAURIE: HE JUST MOVED.
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:43.040
- I JUST FEEL THAT. I KNOW WHERE HE IS.
00:32:43.060 --> 00:32:45.170
- SO THE-- WHAT I'M KIND OF SENSING HERE OR
00:32:45.190 --> 00:32:52.190
BECAUSE OF WHAT PART OF THE STORIES YOU'VE
00:32:52.210 --> 00:32:54.290
ALREADY TOLD IS HOLY SPIRIT WAS REALLY A
00:32:55.010 --> 00:32:57.170
PERSONAL JOURNEY. YOU CAN'T,
00:32:57.190 --> 00:33:01.090
YOU WENT TO YOUR FAMILY, THE KING FAMILY.
00:33:01.110 --> 00:33:05.270
- THEY KEPT BEING KILLED, THEY KEPT LEAVING!
00:33:05.290 --> 00:33:08.210
- BUT IN ADDITION, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE
00:33:08.230 --> 00:33:12.190
ANSWERS CONCERNING WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING.
00:33:12.210 --> 00:33:15.250
SO YOU MET A COUPLE OF FANATICS IN YOUR LIFE,
00:33:15.270 --> 00:33:19.130
AND YOU KIND OF WENT THROUGH, AND WHEN DID YOU
00:33:19.150 --> 00:33:22.050
START THEN-- WHAT WAS YOUR LET'S SAY EARLY DAYS OF
00:33:22.070 --> 00:33:30.060
RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HELP IN YOUR LIFE?
00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:34.090
- I BEGAN TO TEST HOLY SPIRIT.
00:33:34.110 --> 00:33:36.250
I SAY ARE YOU REALLY GONNA BE HERE 'CAUSE
00:33:36.270 --> 00:33:38.150
I JUST DID THIS. YOU STILL HERE?
00:33:38.170 --> 00:33:41.230
AND SOMETIMES I'D GET MAD.
00:33:41.250 --> 00:33:43.130
WHEN I TOOK MY JOB AT PRIEST FOR LIFE WHERE I'M
00:33:43.150 --> 00:33:47.050
THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL RIGHTS FOR THE UNBORN,
00:33:47.070 --> 00:33:50.030
AND BY THEM I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HEALED OF MY
00:33:50.050 --> 00:33:52.090
ABORTIONS. I WAS AN EVANGELIST BY THEN.
00:33:52.110 --> 00:33:55.020
THIS WAS AROUND 2005, AND THERE WAS A POWERFUL LADY
00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:58.030
THERE, A PSYCHOLOGIST, DR. THERESA BURKE, AND WE
00:33:58.050 --> 00:34:01.290
WERE JUST TALKING, AND WE WERE SITTING, I WAS
00:34:02.010 --> 00:34:05.010
SITTING ON THE COUCH AND WE WERE TALKING BECAUSE
00:34:05.030 --> 00:34:06.290
THEY WERE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT I NEEDED
00:34:07.010 --> 00:34:09.020
DEEPER HEALING FOR MY OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES.
00:34:09.040 --> 00:34:11.260
SO I REMEMBER SHE SAID ALVEDA, WHAT ABOUT GOD?
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:16.260
I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH AND I LITERALLY
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:18.140
MOVED TO THE END OF THE COUCH AND WITHDREW INTO A
00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:20.230
CORNER. SHE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID?
00:34:20.250 --> 00:34:23.180
I SAID WHAT DID I DO?
00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:25.100
I ASKED YOU ABOUT GOD AND YOU PULLED AWAY.
00:34:25.120 --> 00:34:27.050
WHAT IS THAT?
00:34:27.070 --> 00:34:29.000
SO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS OUT TRYING TO GET
00:34:29.020 --> 00:34:32.200
EVERYBODY ELSE HEALED, BUT I HAD NOT FULLY
00:34:32.220 --> 00:34:35.020
EXPERIENCED A RELATIONSHIP WITH HOLY SPIRIT EITHER.
00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:38.020
I FEEL HOLY SPIRIT RIGHT NOW DOING THAT 'CAUSE
00:34:38.040 --> 00:34:40.060
HOLY SPIRIT IS SAYING IT'S OKAY.
00:34:40.080 --> 00:34:41.260
YEAH. I'M SORRY BUT I DO. SO WITH THAT HELP,
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:46.260
I BEGAN A DEEPER WALK AROUND 2005.
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.060
I REMEMBER BORN AGAIN 1983, ZEAL, FIRE, READY
00:34:50.080 --> 00:34:54.080
TO LIVE FOR JESUS BUT KEPT SLIPPING BACK,
00:34:54.100 --> 00:34:57.080
SLIDING WITH ALL KIND OF ISSUES.
00:34:57.100 --> 00:35:00.070
AND THEN I REMEMBER 2005, I SAID OKAY GOD,
00:35:00.090 --> 00:35:03.000
I'M TESTING YOU ON THIS.
00:35:03.020 --> 00:35:04.170
YOU REALLY ARE GONNA BE HERE?
00:35:04.190 --> 00:35:06.220
AND IT WAS HOLY SPIRIT.
00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:08.220
JESUS TOO. JESUS IS PHENOMENAL.
00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:11.180
OH, MY GOD JESUS IS JUST PHENOMENAL!
00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:14.140
IF FATHER GOD CAN GET KIND OF TOUGH, AND I
00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:16.200
BELIEVE BETWEEN HOLY SPIRIT AND JESUS EVEN
00:35:16.220 --> 00:35:19.090
TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS THAT I
00:35:19.110 --> 00:35:21.220
SHOULDN'T HAVE, AND ONE OF THEM COMES RIGHT IN
00:35:21.240 --> 00:35:23.210
BETWEEN US AND SAYS WAIT A MINUTE,
00:35:23.230 --> 00:35:24.280
LET ME TALK TO HER! THEY DO!
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.110
- FLUNK.
00:35:27.130 --> 00:35:29.180
- FLUNK IS TERRIBLE.
00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:31.030
WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHO FLUNK IS BECAUSE DADDY
00:35:31.050 --> 00:35:34.160
AND UNCLE AMIL WOULD SAY THAT LITTLE VOICE, A
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:37.180
FLUNK, WILL GET YOU ON A WRONG PATH, AND
00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:40.110
FLUNK DOESN'T GO AWAY.
00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:42.080
SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD THERE.
00:35:42.100 --> 00:35:46.120
BUT THE HIGHEST PLACE THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED
00:35:46.140 --> 00:35:48.160
AND IT'S IN MY MUSIC, IN MY BOOKS, IN MY WORSHIP,
00:35:48.180 --> 00:35:51.090
THEY CANNOT COME IN GENUINE PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
00:35:51.110 --> 00:35:55.040
THEY CAN'T GET IN THERE.
00:35:55.060 --> 00:35:56.260
SO IN THE MIDST OF PAIN, DISAPPOINTMENT, SOMETIMES
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.200
NOW IT'S EVEN WITH MONEY BECAUSE GOD WILL SAY YOU
00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:01.280
NEED TO DO SO-AND-SO AND SO, AND MY KIDS SAY WELL,
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.220
YOU ALSO KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE FOOD, YOUR MOTHER
00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:08.270
NEEDS THIS AND I GET IT. SO I DO IT ANYWAY.
00:36:08.290 --> 00:36:13.190
AND THEN SOMETHING COMES, HOLY SPIRIT'S HELP,
00:36:13.210 --> 00:36:16.040
ANGELS WORK TOO, AND EVERYTHING IS RESOLVED.
00:36:16.060 --> 00:36:20.070
SO I'VE LEARNED NOW, I SAY OKAY I'M
00:36:20.090 --> 00:36:21.290
GOING TO SLEEP NOW.
00:36:22.010 --> 00:36:23.190
YOU SAID DO IT, SO OKAY I'VE TITHED, I'VE OFFERED,
00:36:23.210 --> 00:36:26.160
I'VE FORGIVEN, GOOD NIGHT.
00:36:26.180 --> 00:36:28.120
I WAKE UP NEXT MORNING, ANSWERS.
00:36:28.140 --> 00:36:31.100
SOMETIMES NOT THAT FAST.
00:36:31.120 --> 00:36:33.010
SOMETIMES A WHOLE WEEK AND I'M LIKE OKAY,
00:36:33.030 --> 00:36:35.120
WHERE ARE YOU? BUT HE'S ALWAYS THERE.
00:36:35.140 --> 00:36:37.290
HE REALLY DOESN'T LEAVE.
00:36:38.010 --> 00:36:39.210
SO I ENDED UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, AND I FELT
00:36:39.230 --> 00:36:42.050
LIKE I WAS DYING, AND MY CHILDREN THOUGHT I WAS
00:36:42.070 --> 00:36:43.290
PLAYING AND I KEPT SAYING NO, I JUST FEEL STRANGE.
00:36:44.010 --> 00:36:47.090
I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CALL UNTO THE
00:36:47.110 --> 00:36:49.140
LORD. I COULDN'T FOCUS BECAUSE I WAS DISORIENTED.
00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:51.160
I COULDN'T EVEN THINK TO PRAY.
00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:53.120
- GOODNESS.
00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:55.140

00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:28.130
[MUSIC]
00:37:28.150 --> 00:37:34.170
- MATT: WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO OUR AUDIENCE IF THE HOLY
00:37:34.190 --> 00:37:39.190
SPIRIT IS FLOWING THROUGH YOU, THERE'S GOING TO BE
00:37:39.210 --> 00:37:44.000
SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA CONNECT BETWEEN THOSE
00:37:44.020 --> 00:37:46.270
PEOPLE THAT ARE VIEWING THIS BROADCAST AND HERE,
00:37:46.290 --> 00:37:50.190
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW AT TYLER PERRY STUDIOS HERE
00:37:50.210 --> 00:37:53.230
IN ONE OF THE SHOOTING HOUSES HERE, WHY DON'T WE
00:37:53.250 --> 00:37:58.110
TALK LESS ABOUT HIM AND DEMONSTRATE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:37:58.130 --> 00:38:04.230
- A FEW MOMENTS AGO, WHEN WE BEGAN TO EXPRESS
00:38:04.250 --> 00:38:09.000
HOLY SPIRIT, I PERSONALLY SENSED THE
00:38:09.020 --> 00:38:12.260
PRESENCE OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.020
IT'S NOT A FEELING, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THAT
00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:17.260
CAN FEEL LIKE A COOLNESS OR A WARMNESS OR
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.010
ELECTRICITY OR JUST AMAZING PEACE AND
00:38:20.030 --> 00:38:23.020
YOU DON'T KNOW WHY.
00:38:23.040 --> 00:38:24.170
THAT'S THE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.
00:38:24.190 --> 00:38:27.180
HOWEVER, I BET THAT EVERYBODY WHO IS
00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:30.180
LISTENING TO US, WHO HEARS US, HAS HAD A TIME
00:38:30.200 --> 00:38:35.110
IN HIS OR HER LIFE WHEN YOU HAD A FEELING I MAYBE
00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:39.110
SHOULDN'T DO THAT, I MAYBE SHOULDN'T SAY THAT,
00:38:39.130 --> 00:38:43.110
I CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER, I CAN'T DO THIS.
00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:47.250
NOW, WHEN YOU GET TO THAT PLACE OF I CAN'T DO THIS,
00:38:47.270 --> 00:38:51.130
THAT'S WHEN HELPER COMES AND HELPER SAYS I'LL HELP
00:38:51.150 --> 00:38:54.250
YOU. WHEN YOU GET TO THAT PLACE OF MAYBE I
00:38:54.270 --> 00:39:00.030
SHOULDN'T DO THIS OR I SHOULDN'T DO THAT, THAT'S
00:39:00.050 --> 00:39:02.170
THE STILL SMALL VOICE.
00:39:02.190 --> 00:39:05.060
THOSE ARE IDENTIFIERS OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:39:05.080 --> 00:39:08.020
WHEN SOMEBODY HURTS US AND WE WANT TO STRIKE
00:39:08.040 --> 00:39:11.130
BACK AND HATE THEM, BUT WE MAY BE REMINDED OF A
00:39:11.150 --> 00:39:16.210
TIME WHEN SOMEBODY LOVED US.
00:39:16.230 --> 00:39:20.070
THAT'S THE LOVE OF GOD.
00:39:20.090 --> 00:39:22.140
SO THOSE ARE REAL, WHETHER WE'RE CHRISTIAN,
00:39:22.160 --> 00:39:25.050
MUSLIM, JEWISH, NON-RELIGIOUS AT ALL,
00:39:25.070 --> 00:39:28.200
ATHEIST. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER
00:39:28.220 --> 00:39:31.050
WE'RE YOUNG OR OLD.
00:39:31.070 --> 00:39:33.070
THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE EXPRESSIONS IN OUR
00:39:33.090 --> 00:39:35.180
LIVES OF SOMEONE, THERE'S A SONG SOMEBODY
00:39:35.200 --> 00:39:38.260
BIGGER THAN YOU OR I.
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:41.240
AND WE ALL KNOW THAT. EVEN THE ATHEIST.
00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:44.050
THE ATHEIST KNOWS HE OR SHE DIDN'T CREATE HIM OR
00:39:44.070 --> 00:39:46.120
HERSELF. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
00:39:46.140 --> 00:39:50.130
SO BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT, THOSE ARE ACTIONS,
00:39:50.150 --> 00:39:53.220
EXPRESSIONS AND TOUCHES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:39:53.240 --> 00:39:58.180
ANOTHER WAY HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE EXPRESSED,
00:39:58.200 --> 00:40:00.280
WE NEED SOMETHING.
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.050
JUST OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE, FOOD, MONEY, A HUG,
00:40:03.070 --> 00:40:06.190
WHATEVER, AND YOU CAN BE AT THE DARKEST PLACE THAT
00:40:06.210 --> 00:40:09.080
YOU CAN IMAGINE AND SOMEBODY WILL COME JUST
00:40:09.100 --> 00:40:11.060
BY SAYS I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS.
00:40:11.080 --> 00:40:15.080
COUPLE OF BRAVE PEOPLE WILL SAY GOD TOLD ME TO
00:40:15.100 --> 00:40:18.010
GIVE YOU THIS, YOU KNOW.
00:40:18.030 --> 00:40:20.010
BUT WHATEVER IT IS THAT CAUSES OTHERS TO DO
00:40:20.030 --> 00:40:22.270
SOMETHING FOR US OR BRINGS US OUT OF OUR
00:40:22.290 --> 00:40:26.160
PLACES OF PAIN WHERE WE JUST ALMOST LIKE A
00:40:26.180 --> 00:40:29.230
TURTLE, YOU KNOW A TURTLE IN THE HARD SHELL AND
00:40:29.250 --> 00:40:31.250
IT POKES THAT HEAD OUT. SOMETIMES WE DO IT.
00:40:31.270 --> 00:40:35.130
NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SO AFRAID TO DO THAT
00:40:35.150 --> 00:40:37.210
BECAUSE YOU THINK SOMEBODY'S GONNA CHOP
00:40:37.230 --> 00:40:39.000
YOUR HEAD OFF. THAT'S NOT--
00:40:39.020 --> 00:40:40.160
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUST TRY IT.
00:40:40.180 --> 00:40:43.020
THE SHELL WILL STILL BE THERE.
00:40:43.040 --> 00:40:44.120
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET BACK INTO IT IF YOU HAVE TO.
00:40:44.140 --> 00:40:47.030
BUT IT'S THE TRYING.
00:40:47.050 --> 00:40:49.010
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT DRAWS YOU, JUST DRAWS YOU OUT,
00:40:49.030 --> 00:40:52.000
BUT NOT AS A TRICK OR TRAP, NOT LIKE A MOUSE
00:40:52.020 --> 00:40:55.140
AND CHEESE AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT JUST,
00:40:55.160 --> 00:40:58.070
YOU'LL JUST KNOW THAT JUST BEYOND WHERE YOU
00:40:58.090 --> 00:41:01.170
HURT, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAN HELP YOU.
00:41:01.190 --> 00:41:06.040
- YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER JAN CALLED ONE DAY,
00:41:06.060 --> 00:41:11.130
PROBABLY ABOUT 15, 20 YEARS AGO, HIS MAMA, AND
00:41:11.150 --> 00:41:16.000
SHE HAD BEEN CRYING, JUST CRYING ALL MORNING.
00:41:16.020 --> 00:41:20.150
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
00:41:20.170 --> 00:41:21.270
AND SHE SAID I FEEL LIKE I FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:41:21.290 --> 00:41:26.170
LEFT ME. YOU REMEMBER THAT?
00:41:26.190 --> 00:41:28.240
AND SHE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF IT.
00:41:28.260 --> 00:41:33.070
- MATT: I DO REMEMBER.
00:41:33.090 --> 00:41:35.000
- AND SHE WAS JUST COMPLETELY TRAUMATIZED BY IT.
00:41:35.020 --> 00:41:38.280
- AND YOU COULD BE, I CAN IMAGINE, BECAUSE I'VE
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:40.190
HAD THOSE MOMENTS TOO, AND WHAT I'VE FOUND TO DO
00:41:40.210 --> 00:41:44.040
WHEN THAT HAPPENS, I GET VERY VERY STILL FOR AS
00:41:44.060 --> 00:41:47.080
LONG AS IT TAKES. I MAY NOT EVEN PRAY.
00:41:47.100 --> 00:41:50.190
I MAY NOT PRAY IN TONGUES.
00:41:50.210 --> 00:41:52.050
I MAY NOT SAY ANYTHING.
00:41:52.070 --> 00:41:53.150
I MAY NOT TURN ON ANY MUSIC.
00:41:53.170 --> 00:41:55.050
THAT DID HAPPEN TO ME THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I ENDED
00:41:55.070 --> 00:41:57.170
UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND I FELT LIKE I WAS
00:41:57.190 --> 00:42:00.170
DYING, AND MY CHILDREN THOUGHT I WAS PLAYING AND
00:42:00.190 --> 00:42:02.070
I KEPT SAYING NO, I JUST FEEL STRANGE.
00:42:02.090 --> 00:42:04.170
GOT TO THE HOSPITAL AND ALL THESE SYMPTOMS,
00:42:04.190 --> 00:42:08.060
VERTIGO, HEART THIS, ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF, AND
00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:10.260
SO BRILLIANT DOCTOR THAT HAD TO BE BY THE HOLY
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.190
SPIRIT, JUST PUT SOME WATER IN HER ARM.
00:42:13.210 --> 00:42:15.120
LET'S JUST LEAVE HER ALONE.
00:42:15.140 --> 00:42:17.070
FEW HOURS LATER I'M LAYING, HALF THE WATER
00:42:17.090 --> 00:42:18.240
IS GONE, ALL THE SYMPTOMS GONE AWAY.
00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:21.000
- DEHYDRATED.
00:42:21.020 --> 00:42:22.140
- I WAS DEHYDRATED.
00:42:22.160 --> 00:42:23.290
BUT DURING THAT TIME, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE
00:42:24.010 --> 00:42:25.270
STRENGTH TO CALL UNTO THE LORD.
00:42:25.290 --> 00:42:27.090
I COULDN'T FOCUS BECAUSE I WAS DISORIENTED.
00:42:27.110 --> 00:42:29.100
I COULDN'T EVEN THINK TO PRAY.
00:42:29.120 --> 00:42:31.130
BUT SEE NOW THAT'S ANOTHER ASPECT.
00:42:31.150 --> 00:42:33.190
THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID HE'S GONNA BE OUR COMFORTER,
00:42:33.210 --> 00:42:36.000
OUR HELP AND OUR GUIDE, SEND SOMEBODY ELSE
00:42:36.020 --> 00:42:37.230
ALONGSIDE TO PRAY FOR YOU.
00:42:37.250 --> 00:42:40.060
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE EVEN WITH JAN AND CERTAINLY
00:42:40.080 --> 00:42:43.050
WITH ME GOD HAD NOT LEFT ME AT THAT TIME,
00:42:43.070 --> 00:42:45.270
BUT I JUST COULDN'T EVEN CONNECT.
00:42:45.290 --> 00:42:48.060
I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY AND GOT IT BACK
00:42:48.080 --> 00:42:52.260
AND I WAS SITTING THERE AT THE HOUSE THE OTHER DAY
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:55.090
AND JUST NOT EVEN REALLY PRAYING OR READING THE
00:42:55.110 --> 00:42:57.120
BIBLE, WHATEVER, JUST SITTING IN THE CHAIR.
00:42:57.140 --> 00:42:59.100
HOLY SPIRIT JUST FLOODING, OVER ME, JUST FLOODING,
00:42:59.120 --> 00:43:02.020
AND I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT HAPPENS TO ME MORE
00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:04.180
OFTEN THAN NOT, AND IT'S SOMETHING I'M GONNA HAVE
00:43:04.200 --> 00:43:06.240
TO FACE THAT DAY, AND I'M GONNA NEED AN ANOINTING.
00:43:06.260 --> 00:43:10.280
I'M GONNA REALLY NEED HELP.
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.190
- YOU KNOW I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THE HOLY
00:43:13.210 --> 00:43:16.090
SPIRIT, NOT ONLY IS IT THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT
00:43:16.110 --> 00:43:19.020
RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD THAT ACTUALLY LIVES
00:43:19.040 --> 00:43:21.070
ON THE INSIDE OF US.
00:43:21.090 --> 00:43:22.160
- ALIVE IN YOU AND ALL OF US.
00:43:22.180 --> 00:43:24.100
- BUT HE KEEPS US. HE KEEPS US. HE SHOWS US RIGHT
00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:29.090
FROM WRONG. YOU KNOW THE KNOWING OF RIGHT AND WRONG.
00:43:29.110 --> 00:43:31.270
BOY, I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT CAN KEEP
00:43:31.290 --> 00:43:33.270
YOU OUT OF A LOT OF TROUBLE.
00:43:33.290 --> 00:43:36.170
- I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING BAD THE OTHER
00:43:36.190 --> 00:43:39.050
DAY, I WANTED TO SAY IT SO BAD, AND MY KIDS AND
00:43:39.070 --> 00:43:42.050
EVERYTHING, I SAID NO YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT!
00:43:42.070 --> 00:43:44.170
SO I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH SOME BIG IMPORTANT
00:43:44.190 --> 00:43:46.190
PEOPLE AND WHATEVER.
00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:48.010
I SAID WELL WHY DON'T YOU JUST ASK THEM IF
00:43:48.030 --> 00:43:49.280
DA-DA-DA, AND THEN THE PERSON ON THE PHONE SAID
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.140
DR. KING, WHAT IS IT?
00:43:53.160 --> 00:43:55.180
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN FIND A SCRIPTURE TO BACK UP
00:43:55.200 --> 00:43:57.220
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW?
00:43:57.240 --> 00:43:59.230
AND I COULDN'T BECAUSE IT WAS BAD!
00:43:59.250 --> 00:44:01.290
- BECAUSE IT WAS MR. FLUNK.
00:44:02.010 --> 00:44:03.180
- IT WAS FLUNK!
00:44:03.200 --> 00:44:05.150
SO I CALMED DOWN THEN THE LORD GAVE ME A SCRIPTURE
00:44:05.170 --> 00:44:09.070
AND I CAME BACK ON TARGET.
00:44:09.090 --> 00:44:11.210
- SO WHEN WE SING LORD MAKE US MORE
00:44:11.230 --> 00:44:15.050
AWARE OF YOUR PRESENCE.
00:44:15.070 --> 00:44:16.170
- AMEN.
00:44:16.190 --> 00:44:17.290
- WHERE CAN I GO FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:44:18.010 --> 00:44:19.280
- IS THAT PSALM 139?
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.090
BUT THEN HE SAID IF YOU GO TO THE UTTERMOST PARTS
00:44:22.110 --> 00:44:27.110
OF HELL, I'M STILL GONNA BE THERE.
00:44:27.130 --> 00:44:29.130
SO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HOLY SPIRIT GOES
00:44:29.150 --> 00:44:30.250
EVERYWHERE WE GO.
00:44:30.270 --> 00:44:32.210
- YOU KNOW YOU'VE MADE A POINT A COUPLE OF TIMES
00:44:32.230 --> 00:44:36.040
ON THIS BROADCAST I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
00:44:36.060 --> 00:44:38.090
SAY, BUT I'VE DONE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS AND I DON'T
00:44:38.110 --> 00:44:42.090
KNOW THAT ANYONE'S BROUGHT IT OUT AS MANY
00:44:42.110 --> 00:44:44.000
TIMES AS YOU HAVE THAT HOLY SPIRIT
00:44:44.020 --> 00:44:46.140
IS AFTER EVERYBODY.
00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:48.140
- EVERYBODY. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER, JOHN 3:16.
00:44:48.160 --> 00:44:51.050
SKIN COLOR IS NOT YOUR RACE ANYWAY, WE'RE ONE
00:44:51.070 --> 00:44:54.090
BLOOD, ACTS 17:26, HOW OLD YOU ARE, HOW YOUNG
00:44:54.110 --> 00:44:57.220
YOU ARE, EVEN WITH SEXUAL ISSUES AND YOU KNOW
00:44:57.240 --> 00:45:00.250
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE SAY I WAS BORN THIS WAY AND
00:45:00.270 --> 00:45:02.220
THEY'LL SAY NO YOU WEREN'T, AND GOD SAID IF
00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:05.160
THEY WERE JUST TELL THEM TO BE BORN AGAIN.
00:45:05.180 --> 00:45:07.070
COME ON. I DIDN'T MAKE ALL THIS.
00:45:07.090 --> 00:45:08.280
YOU YOUNG GUYS GET BORN INTO SIN, BUT HE SAID I
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:11.210
CREATE YOU IN MY IMAGE, SO HE SAID WHATEVER THE
00:45:11.230 --> 00:45:14.070
QUESTION HAPPENS TO BE, JUST DO JOHN 3:16.
00:45:14.090 --> 00:45:18.050
IT'S NOT BROKEN INTO CATEGORIES.
00:45:18.070 --> 00:45:19.240
IT JUST ISN'T.
00:45:19.260 --> 00:45:21.150
- BUT WHAT I, I'M REITERATING BECAUSE IT'S
00:45:21.170 --> 00:45:25.060
AN INTERESTING NUANCE THAT YOU KEEP TOUCHING ON
00:45:25.080 --> 00:45:28.170
IS THAT WE THINK SOMETIMES THAT
00:45:28.190 --> 00:45:32.190
THE HOLY SPIRIT CERTAINLY CAN'T BE...
00:45:32.210 --> 00:45:34.230
- YOU HAVE TO BE A REALLY GOOD CHRISTIAN.
00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:36.080
- ...IN A TEMPLE OR A MOSQUE
00:45:36.100 --> 00:45:39.270
OR HE CAN'T BE THERE BUT--
00:45:39.290 --> 00:45:41.160
- HE REALLY CAN BE.
00:45:41.180 --> 00:45:43.160
- THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WOOING ANYBODY AND EVERYONE.
00:45:43.180 --> 00:45:45.090
- ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME.
00:45:45.110 --> 00:45:47.110
- BASICALLY THE HOLY SPIRIT DRAWS
00:45:47.130 --> 00:45:49.140
PEOPLE TO REPENTANCE.
00:45:49.160 --> 00:45:50.190
- ALL THE TIME.
00:45:50.210 --> 00:45:51.240
- WE'LL CALL THAT A COINCIDENCE.
00:45:51.260 --> 00:45:53.090
- THINK OF A FEW PEOPLE THAT JUST ARE FLIPPING ON
00:45:53.110 --> 00:45:59.250
CHRISTIAN TV RIGHT NOW.
00:45:59.270 --> 00:46:02.100
FOR SOME REASON THEY'VE STOPPED HERE, AND
00:46:02.120 --> 00:46:06.010
THERE'S AN APPOINTMENT.
00:46:06.030 --> 00:46:09.010
THE HOLY SPIRIT'S CREATED AN APPOINTMENT BETWEEN
00:46:09.030 --> 00:46:11.090
YOU AND THAT CAMERA AND SOMEBODY WATCHING
00:46:11.110 --> 00:46:13.290
SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD IN SOME OTHER PART
00:46:14.010 --> 00:46:15.220
OF THE WORLD MAYBE OR RIGHT HERE.
00:46:15.240 --> 00:46:17.180
JUST A WORD TO THEM.
00:46:17.200 --> 00:46:20.030
- ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXAMPLES THAT I LIKE TO
00:46:20.050 --> 00:46:22.070
SHARE ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD COMING THROUGH
00:46:22.090 --> 00:46:25.110
HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS
00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:27.200
THE STORY OF GANDHI.
00:46:27.220 --> 00:46:29.220
AND MANY OF US KNOW ABOUT GANDHI FROM INDIA, AND
00:46:29.240 --> 00:46:33.270
NON-VIOLENCE WAS PART OF THE MESSAGE OF
00:46:33.290 --> 00:46:36.290
CONFRONTATION, NON-VIOLENT CONFRONTATION.
00:46:37.010 --> 00:46:39.090
MY UNCLE, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR THE
00:46:39.110 --> 00:46:41.250
PROPHET, LIKED THAT METHOD, BUT MARTIN LUTHER
00:46:41.270 --> 00:46:44.110
KING JUNIOR ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE EXAMPLE OF
00:46:44.130 --> 00:46:47.180
CHRIST WITH THE METHOD OF NON-VIOLENCE.
00:46:47.200 --> 00:46:50.180
IT IS REPORTED THAT GANDHI WENT TO EUROPE AND
00:46:50.200 --> 00:46:54.220
WENT INTO A CHURCH, AND GANDHI WAS WEARING HIS
00:46:54.240 --> 00:46:57.250
ROBES AND ALL OF THIS, AND THEY SAID TO GANDHI,
00:46:57.270 --> 00:47:01.190
SORRY, THIS IS A HOUSE OF WORSHIP, YOU'LL HAVE TO
00:47:01.210 --> 00:47:04.080
LEAVE. YOU CAN'T WEAR THOSE CLOTHES HERE.
00:47:04.100 --> 00:47:08.120
GANDHI WENT AWAY, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY
00:47:08.140 --> 00:47:12.080
REPORTED THAT HE EVER WENT BACK.
00:47:12.100 --> 00:47:14.060
AND THERE WAS A KING IN THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE
00:47:14.080 --> 00:47:16.040
BIBLE, AND THE CHRISTIANS WERE TRYING TO CONVINCE
00:47:16.060 --> 00:47:19.190
THE KING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND CHRIST,
00:47:19.210 --> 00:47:22.160
AND THE KING SAYS YOU ALMOST PERSUADE ME, BUT
00:47:22.180 --> 00:47:26.070
IT WAS THE EXAMPLE OF THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO SAY
00:47:26.090 --> 00:47:30.040
THAT THEY HAD CHRIST AND HOLY SPIRIT AND GOD, BUT
00:47:30.060 --> 00:47:35.150
THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO SHOW THE EXAMPLE OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:47:35.170 --> 00:47:40.040
HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE. HOLY SPIRIT IS LIFE.
00:47:40.060 --> 00:47:43.020
HOLY SPIRIT IS TRUTH.
00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:45.050
WITH NO QUALIFICATIONS, CATEGORIES OR
00:47:45.070 --> 00:47:47.270
RULING ANYBODY OUT.
00:47:47.290 --> 00:47:50.080
I'VE NEVER MET A PERSON WHO DID NOT NEED LOVE,
00:47:50.100 --> 00:47:55.170
WHO DID NOT NEED HELP.
00:47:55.190 --> 00:47:58.050
I'VE MET ANGRY PEOPLE, MAD PEOPLE, MEAN PEOPLE,
00:47:58.070 --> 00:48:01.220
HAPPY PEOPLE, PEOPLE OF ALL SIZES, SHAPES,
00:48:01.240 --> 00:48:04.040
COLORS, BUT PEOPLE REALLY NEED THE LORD,
00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:09.060
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THERE FOR EVERYBODY.
00:48:09.080 --> 00:48:14.000
- AMEN.
00:48:14.020 --> 00:48:15.140
- LEAD THEM TO THE LORD IF IT'S THEIR TIME FOR THAT.
00:48:15.160 --> 00:48:20.160
- ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS, AND I'M ON A
00:48:20.180 --> 00:48:22.180
WORSHIP TEAM AT MY CHURCH, BELIEVER'S BIBLE
00:48:22.200 --> 00:48:24.280
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, AND WE SING A LOT OF
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:26.160
CONTEMPORARY SONGS BUT THERE'S A SONG THAT SAYS
00:48:26.180 --> 00:48:29.220
SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING.
00:48:29.240 --> 00:48:33.240
WELL THE CALLING CARD IS CARRIED BY HOLY SPIRIT.
00:48:33.260 --> 00:48:37.200
NOW, WHAT IS HOLY SPIRIT CARRYING AND BRINGING?
00:48:37.220 --> 00:48:40.210
LOVE, LIGHT, FORGIVENESS, HELP AND ASSISTANCE.
00:48:40.230 --> 00:48:47.140
SO I WANT YOU TO PRAY RIGHT NOW AND I LIKE TO
00:48:47.160 --> 00:48:50.260
TELL PEOPLE THIS ONLY HELPS YOU, PUT YOUR HAND
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:53.060
OVER YOUR HEART AND RAISE ONE AWAY FROM YOURSELF,
00:48:53.080 --> 00:48:57.020
I'LL SAY TOWARDS HEAVEN BUT AWAY FROM YOU SO
00:48:57.040 --> 00:48:59.050
YOU'RE CONNECTING YOU WITH THE SPIRIT.
00:48:59.070 --> 00:49:03.030
FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, BY THE POWER OF
00:49:03.050 --> 00:49:05.060
YOUR PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT, JUST WANT TO PRAY

NOT IDENTIFY AS THE WORD L-O-R-D, AND SPEAKING IN
00:49:12.080 --> 00:49:15.150

LIFE AND HELP AND FORGIVENESS, SO LORD

GOSPEL ALL OVER THE WORLD, WE SAY THANK YOU.
00:49:32.080 --> 00:49:35.170

REMOTE OR THAT CELL PHONE OR SOCIAL MEDIA OR
00:49:37.210 --> 00:49:40.170
HOWEVER IT HAPPENS, LORD, JUST TOUCH.

WITH THAT LITTLE ANSWER THAT YOU GAVE ME,
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:45.240
I'M HERE. I'M HERE.
00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:48.250
YOU'RE CALLING SOFTLY AND TENDERLY.
00:49:48.270 --> 00:49:50.250
DON'T LET IT BE A LIGHTNING BOLT THAT
00:49:50.270 --> 00:49:52.080
KNOCKS A CORD OVER THE CAR AND ALMOST FRIES
00:49:52.100 --> 00:49:55.270
PEOPLE LORD, BUT HOWEVER YOU DO IT, CATCH
00:49:55.290 --> 00:49:59.180

PROTECTION OVER US AND OVER EVERYONE RIGHT NOW,

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME AMEN.
00:50:09.140 --> 00:50:12.130
- WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOLY SPIRIT WHO
00:50:12.150 --> 00:50:14.160
DRAWS PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS WITH
00:50:14.180 --> 00:50:19.280
THE HEART BELIEVES MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:26.090
SALVATION AND ULTIMATELY THE VERY PURPOSE OF THE
00:50:26.110 --> 00:50:32.070

DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS, JUST LEAD THEM
00:50:41.110 --> 00:50:44.020
IN A SHORT PRAYER.
00:50:44.040 --> 00:50:46.070
- FOLKS, THERE'S ANOTHER SONG AND IT GOES
00:50:46.090 --> 00:50:48.150
IT'S ME, IT'S ME OH, LORD,
00:50:48.170 --> 00:50:50.170
STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER,

NOT MY MAMA, NOT MY BROTHER,
00:50:52.250 --> 00:50:55.010
BUT IT'S ME OH, LORD
00:50:55.030 --> 00:50:57.030
STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER.
00:50:57.050 --> 00:50:58.240
IF YOU NEED PRAYER RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN DO THIS,

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I COME.

I MAYBE DIDN'T KNOW HOLY SPIRIT OR I NEED TO KNOW
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.110
MORE OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:51:23.130 --> 00:51:25.290
DON'T KNOW JESUS AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO, AND
00:51:26.010 --> 00:51:30.090

- MADEA IS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.
00:52:27.180 --> 00:52:29.250

KIND OF PUT SOME LIGHTS AND CAMERA IN HERE AND
00:52:35.090 --> 00:52:37.110
USED THIS PLACE FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT
00:52:37.130 --> 00:52:40.220
COULD EVER BE DONE.
00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:42.040
WE'VE TURNED THIS INTO A CHURCH TODAY.
00:52:42.060 --> 00:52:44.060
SO TYLER PERRY STUDIOS IS NOW A CHURCH TODAY ON
00:52:44.080 --> 00:52:47.150
MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY, JANUARY 20TH AND
00:52:47.170 --> 00:52:52.100
DR. ALVEDA KING, THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING AND
00:52:52.120 --> 00:52:58.050
IN THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TBN HAS EVER DONE
00:52:58.070 --> 00:53:01.020
AND THAT IS A PRAYER TO SALVATION.
00:53:01.040 --> 00:53:03.200
IN YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS HERE JUST THE LAST MINUTE
00:53:03.220 --> 00:53:06.040
OR TWO HERE, YOU SAY IN YOUR NEWEST BOOK
00:53:06.060 --> 00:53:11.150
"THE SPIRIT OF A DREAM" THAT EVERYBODY HAS A DREAM.
00:53:11.170 --> 00:53:16.040
NOW, I THINK WE BELIEVE THAT THAT DREAM COMES
00:53:16.060 --> 00:53:20.130
FROM GOD, YOU KNOW, AND THE HOPES AND THE DREAMS
00:53:20.150 --> 00:53:25.180
THAT PEOPLE HAVE, BUT DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A
00:53:25.200 --> 00:53:29.140
DREAM? AND EXPLAIN THAT JUST KIND OF AS YOU'RE,
00:53:29.160 --> 00:53:32.040
IN YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS HERE.
00:53:32.060 --> 00:53:34.210
- WE ALL HAVE FAITH, WE ALL HAVE HOPE,
00:53:34.230 --> 00:53:37.060
AND WE ALL HAVE LOVE.
00:53:37.080 --> 00:53:39.030
THOSE DREAMS COME OUT OF HOPE.
00:53:39.050 --> 00:53:40.270
THEY REALLY DO.
00:53:40.290 --> 00:53:42.110
FAITH IS MIGHTY BUT DOESN'T WORK WITHOUT LOVE,
00:53:42.130 --> 00:53:44.260
SO ALL THOSE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER.
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.240
I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT I'VE DONE.
00:53:46.260 --> 00:53:48.220
I JUST THINK I'M KIND OF PROLIFIC AND SOMETIMES
00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:51.100
PEOPLE FUSS AT ME BECAUSE SOME OF OUR BOOKS ARE
00:53:51.120 --> 00:53:53.280
DONE IN-HOUSE FROM OUR OWN MINISTRY, ALVEDAKING.COM,
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:58.250
SO THEY MAY NOT ME AS SLEEK AND AS SHARP.
00:53:58.270 --> 00:54:01.040
MY FAVORITE BOOK IS STILL KING RULES
00:54:01.060 --> 00:54:02.270
AND IT'S A PRETTY BOOK BUT THE
00:54:02.290 --> 00:54:05.070
MESSAGE IS IN THE WORDS. SO DARE TO DO THIS.
00:54:05.090 --> 00:54:09.090
JUST DARE. GET THAT STICKY NOTE.
00:54:09.110 --> 00:54:11.270
I'VE THREATENED TO WRITE A BOOK ON CHEWING GUM
00:54:11.290 --> 00:54:13.250
PAPER IF NOBODY WOULD HELP ME DO IT.
00:54:13.270 --> 00:54:15.270
I HAVE THREATENED TO DO THAT.
00:54:15.290 --> 00:54:17.250
BUT GET A STICKY NOTE OR WHATEVER OR ON YOUR
00:54:17.270 --> 00:54:20.180
PHONE, YOUR NOTE PAD, WRITE THAT DREAM DOWN.
00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:23.050
THERE'S A SCRIPTURE, WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE
00:54:23.070 --> 00:54:24.190
IT PLAIN SO THAT THOSE WHO READ IT OR HEAR IT OR
00:54:24.210 --> 00:54:28.050
SEE IT CAN RUN WITH IT.
00:54:28.070 --> 00:54:30.060
WRITE IT DOWN, LET IT BE BETWEEN YOU AND GOD,
00:54:30.080 --> 00:54:34.050
AND SAY GOD THIS IS IT.
00:54:34.070 --> 00:54:35.190
NOW IF IT'S NOT ONE IT'S GONNA BE GOOD FOR YOU,
00:54:35.210 --> 00:54:37.230
WON'T WORK, HOLY SPIRIT IS LIKELY TO SAY LET ME
00:54:37.250 --> 00:54:40.070
HELP YOU WITH THAT. SO LOOK FOR THAT TOO.
00:54:40.090 --> 00:54:42.230
BUT BEGIN TO WRITE THAT DREAM.
00:54:42.250 --> 00:54:44.150
WE ALL HAVE DREAMS.
00:54:44.170 --> 00:54:45.260
SOME OF THE DREAMS ARE GOOD AND SOME OF THEM CAN
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:48.060
USE A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT,
00:54:48.080 --> 00:54:50.080
BUT YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.
00:54:50.100 --> 00:54:52.030
- LAURIE: DREAM BIG.
00:54:52.050 --> 00:54:53.100
- UH-HUH.
00:54:53.120 --> 00:54:54.290
- YOUR FAMILY DID.
00:54:55.010 --> 00:54:57.000
- WE DID. AND WE STILL DO. WE STILL DO.
00:54:57.020 --> 00:55:00.100
- LAURIE: BEAUTIFUL LEGACY OF LOVE.
00:55:00.120 --> 00:55:02.050
- YEAH, YEAH.
00:55:02.070 --> 00:55:03.190

00:55:03.210 --> 00:55:06.000
- GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
00:55:06.020 --> 00:55:07.150
