We're at the Epcot Center in Disney World for The Night Of Joy event. People are havin' a good time. This is a good, clean place; it's a nice place for families to come, and to fellowship, and to relax, to be together and let down, and enjoy life. And, you know, this kinda fun; this kinda joy; this can be in your life everyday as you give your heart to the Lord. Because it doesn't necessarily matter where you are, it's who you belong to, once you give your heart to the Lord. And so, we're very grateful, actually this isn't necessarily a Disney commercial; but, we're very grateful that they [Disney] have opened their doors. And that they are very open to us comin' in, and doin' gospel concerts here. And lettin' our light shine. And we thank God that in America we still have the right to worship the Lord; and, to lift up the name of Jesus in public places. You know, many people have given their very lives for us to be able to have that right. They've let their light shine, and they've actually died in the process of defendin' our right to lift up the name of Jesus. There's been a price paid. You know, here at the Epcot Center, we have the American Adventure, and this is showin' things of the Presidents; the foundation of the United States; and where we've come from; and hopefully where we're goin'. Well, Christians, those of you out there that have received the Lord, let your light shine; let it shine in all the world; let it shine in your neighborhood; let people know what the Lord has done in your life.

Here comes a doubledecker bus. This is good, people over here singin', people over here makin' noise. People are makin' a joyful noise. We need to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. And young people, you know, the Bible even acknowledges that you have a lot of energy; that you have a lot of strength. The youth groups that we've been seein' that are risen up around the nation, they're not askin' to go sit in the corner. They don't want you to not have fun. They want you to not have pain, you know, same as the Lord. and there's a lot of fun things goin' on. Here, in The Night Of Joy at Disney World, Florida USA, it's been phenomenal. There have been thousands and thousands of kids comin' out. And really havin' a good, good, good time. Young people, you can have fun. And it is fun servin' the Lord.

You can give your heart to the Lord. But we don't want to pound it into you. Ultimately, the burden falls on you. Because the Word of God says, That God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life. It is kinda like when you find out that some place is fun to go, for instance....People come to Disney World all the time. They come here, day in and day out. This place is bein' visited. I understand the greatest tourist attraction, I believe, in the entire world; and certainly here in the United States is Disney World. So, people come in and they have a good time. And what do they naturally do? They naturally go home; they take pictures; they show their friends; and they talk to them. They say, 'This place is fun, man. This is a good place to hang around; bring your family; bring your kids; we really relax; we chilled out; we had a good time. And we were able to kinda forget our troubles; and have just a fun, restful, exciting time. Right? It is the samething with someone like me, or like Reeni, who gets saved. I mean, people....they're were a lot of religious people when I first got on television, especially on the international network, a lot of religious people were writtin' in. And sayin'. 'Why do you have this long haired ex-Black Sabbath; ex-Jesus Christ Superstar; ex-this, ex-that. What's he doin' on the network? And on the program? This guy's an ex-drugger, and ex-headbanger. He hasn't gone to Bible School; and he hasn't that.' Let me tell you somethin'. The Word of God says, We overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb, and the word of our testimony. Just like comin' to Disneyland or Disney World, the fun thing is people want to talk about. I had a lot of burden on me; I had a lot of weight on me. I made a lot of money; I've been livin' high off the hog all my adult life. But, the bottom line was, I was miserable. And when the Lord set me free, and I got delivered off the drugs, delivered out of the bondage; I want to talk about it. I want to tell people, 'Hey man, this is the place to be.' Shirley Ceasar just talked to us about what the Lord did in her life. She served the Lord all of her life. and yet she's out sharin' the Word, as well. Reeni, you like to share and tell people what's goin' on, too. Don't you?

Reeni: The gift of salvation is a free gift. And when you said that about you can't force salvation on anybody, because it's a free gift of God. And, Jesus Christ died for each and every one of us individually. He died for you, and He died for me. And it's up to us if we want to accept His salvation for us. And then it's free, and we can have it. What's more important even after that, is that we've been given power from on High. Because through Jesus Christ we can then go to the Father, who is our Father in heaven, now. Because we've been made hiers to the throne through the blood of Jesus Christ. And we've been endued with power, and that power...The Bible says, that the power that's been given to us, is the power over all the works of the enemy. So, once you're saved, it's not over. What happens then is everthing that has burdened us, sometimes people are on drugs. Or maybe a problem with alcohol, there are a lot of things people struggle with. What's really neat about the Christian life as appose to when you're not a Christian, is that a Christian has been endued with power from on High through the blood of Jesus Christ, who has given us authority over all the works of the enemy. Even though it may not be easy for a time, but it's still true. And we know if we fill our minds with the Word of God, and go to one another for support, we are overcomers, and we have the power to overcome all the works of the enemy.

I would also like to point out that even after I gave my heart to the Lord; when we went into some churches, we were not well received. And I've heard people say sometimes, 'You know, we didn't go with God because we've tried this church, we've tried that church, and we were too rowdy, or this or whatever.' Let me tell you somethin' The Lord will never yurn you away. What you need to do is, you need to just keep lookin', you need to keep goin', and checkin' out the things of God. Go to a church, find a place, where people are fellowshippin' that have, maybe, come out of some of the things that you're comin' out of. Now, this is important again. I want to emphasize this. In the Word in John 3:17, For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. So, God doesn't condemn you. And whoever believes in Him is not condemned; but whoever does not believe in the Lord, stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. So, you need to believe; you need to give your heart to the Lord; and you can be set free today. Reeni, will you pray with the people?

Reeni: I want to encourage you, too. Like I said, if there's any addictions, that you can overcome by Words and the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. I smoked for many years, even though I was a Christian. It was an addiction.

You were so funny, 'cause you would get pregnant and you'd quit for nine months. Then as soon as you had the baby, you'd go back to smokin'.

Reeni: Yeah. But you can overcome that by the power and the blood of Jesus Christ. Just like I did. We need to pray right now. If you haven't given your heart to Jesus Christ, first of all do that. Just repeat after me, and say, 'Father, I give my heart to you today. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe He has saved my soul. Come into my heart Lord Jesus. Forgive me my sins. And I'm a new creature in Your name. Amen. That's done now. You are a new creature. Get into a Bible believing Church. Get prayer. We love you. And God bless you.

We'll not only see you in Disney World, but we'll also see you in heaven. God bless.

My Deepest Love,
Jeff
