My relatives tell me I'm nuts. I'll tell you publically, I am a nut but I'm skrewed to the right bolt. And His name is Jesus. Praise the Lord God. You know, I've been talkin' about some of my rock'n'roll friends, my ex-bass player, who has played with Whitesnake. When I was in Miami (Florida), the press decided to go and interview a bunch of my old rock'n'rollers. I don't know if they were trying to get a juicy story or whatever. It's all juicy in the Lord. I don't care what anybody says about me as long as they spell His name right - J-E-S-U-S!

But the Miami newspaper, one of them down there, they went to Circus Magazine, a rock'n'roll magazine. And they asked 'em, 'What do you think of this Fenholt guy who used to sing with Sabbath and was the star of Jesus Christ Superstar and all this?' And the editor of Circus Magazine (I'm not bragging. I'm just quoting him.) he said, 'He is one of the best singers that's happened.' How many know God gives good gifts? So Mr. Editor from Circus Magazine, thank you for the compliment. But then they went to my bass player, former bass player, who plays for Whitesnake (I think he just left or whatever). And they asked him, 'What do you think of Fenholt?' And he said (in the paper), 'He's the best singer I've worked with.' Right. But then he said this (and this is what we're going to get to), he said, 'I was in a band with him. And then it all fell a part.' Basically, I mean those aren't his exact words. But these are. He said, 'Somethin' happened. Jeff lost the attitude necessary to be a world class heavy metal singer.' Well, if that attitude is death, then I can live without it. How about you?

You head-bangers, you need to come out and bang Satan's head. Give your heart to Jesus is what we need here. Praise God. Hi guys, who did you used to ride with? 'Can't say it.' Oh, you can't say it, alright, that's alright. Who do you ride for now? 'Jesus.' 'Jesus.' 'Jesus.' Praise God. I got a biker friend that used to ride with the Hell's Angels. And he told me, you guys are going to enjoy this, (now he's riding for Jesus). He was crying. He stood up in front of the crowd with tears running down his face. And he said, 'I've just seen a vision of heaven.' I said, 'What is it, brother?' And he said, 'Two hundred miles of flat highway and no stop signs!' :) That's a pretty good vision. Wouldn't you say? Praise the Lord God. Praise You Jesus.

You know, you people out there are afraid to lose friends, your friends. You know, everyone up here has lost friends. People have wandered away when we started to serve the Lord. Ain't that right? Yes, that's right. You will lose some friends. They'll wander away. But let me tell you somethin'. You're going to gain a family. It's the biggest family on the face of the earth. You know that? Because there is more with us than there is with them. It's not just what we see but it is also what is unseen in the heavenlies. Praise God. I've gained a sister, right here. This is my sister in Christ. You know that? And you know what? I've had rock'n'roll friends say that they were going to be my friend forever. And I've had women backstage come back there and say, 'Oh, I just love you guys. You're our favorite.' You know? And they don't stick when the going gets tough, you know that? Praise the Lord Jesus. How many have better friends now then you've ever had, ever in the world? Are you guys more tight together now, then any of your ol' buddies you were hangin' with? There's a lot of bikers in prison, and they think they're real tough. And I go in and say, 'Hey guys. Stop thinking about your group, your biker group. And start thinking about yourself. 'Cause,' I say, 'Where are your friends who said they were going to stick with you on the outside? Now you're in maximum security, where are they now?' And they know they ain't around. There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus.

Some people wish that I would just shut up and sing. But I want to tell you something. I've come to realize we don't need another concert all the time. We need an overdose of the Holy Ghost. We need a touch of the Lord. The United States of America doesn't need another award. We don't need another Academy Award. We don't need another Emmy Award. I don't need to show up at the Tony's or the Grammy's like I use to do. Or all the other garbage going on. The world doesn't need another award show. And we don't need another game show. We need the Blood of Jesus.

I EXALT THEE

Praise you Lord, have mercy on this nation. Forgive us for the abortion of children, Lord. And let that be turned. Now. Turn the hearts of the women, and the people. Turn the hearts of the President, Lord, and all these other people in government that are standing for abortion. Lord, turn their hearts. We don't wish them anything bad. We wish that you would change their hearts, Lord. Turn their hearts and let life come up. In Jesus' name. Let's worship the Lord. Praise the Lord Jesus.

I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee, my Lord
I exalt Thee
Oh my Lord
I exalt, my King, my Jesus
I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee
Oh-h-h, my Lord, my Lord

Praise Jesus. I thank you Lord for Christian television. I thank you Lord for giving us the means to be able to lift up the gospel in the prisons in America, in the places where people are sealed off. You say, 'I don't understand God's love.' You're right, you don't. And you won't until you go to be with the Lord. And then He says you will know all things. And you'll know the power of the Lord Jesus Christ and His love for you. No, you will never be Jesus. You will never be God.We will never aspire to that. But I'll tell you, we will know how much Jesus has loved us, and care for us, and kept us.

You prostitutes out there, the world calls you hookers and prostitutes. Jesus calls you my sister, my child. My sisters that are selling yourselves on the streets, let me tell you somethin', you're selling yourselves cheap. Even if you were paid $1,000,000 an hour, you would still be selling yourself cheap. Because there's a man who paid for you already with His life. And this man will never use you. He'll give you eternal life. And His name is Jesus.

Let's bow our heads and let's pray to the Lord. And please, brothers and sisters, let's intercede for those who are watching by television right now, and everyone here who needs a touch from the Lord. You say, 'I need Jesus in my life right now.' Raise your hand before God. You say, 'I need to rededicate, I'm going to rededicate, my life right now.' Raise your hand before God right now. Everybody who loves the Lord raise your hand with 'em. There's people even in this crowd (who need Jesus). You think this was all people all washed, and all scubbed, and all cleaned, and all this. And there's an awefull lot of hands that went up. We all have come short of the glory of God. You know that? But Jesus says, Come to Me for My shoulders are wide and My yoke is light. You go tell your troubles to somebody else and they'll say, 'Don't talk to me about that. I've got enough problems of my own. Jesus says, 'Tell Me your troubles. My yoke is light. It's not going to burden me to hear your troubles.' Homosexuals and others, you think you're hiding from the Lord. You think you're living your life and that you have nothin' to do with God and He has nothin' to do with you. He knows you and He knows where you are. And He knows every move you've ever made. He still has His hand reaching out and He loves you. Bow your heads and pray.

Lord God, I come to you now of my own free will. I've had a tough life. I've done wrong. This world is rugged. I turn to you now for help. Jesus, You died on the cross for me. Your Blood was shed to take away my sins. Jesus, I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Wash me clean, Jesus. Holy Spirit, You are the Comforter. You are the Spirit of God. And I call upon You now. And I welcome You into my life and into my heart. I am saved. I am born-again of the Spirit of the living God. In the name of Jesus. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. Amen.

Paul Crouch, 'Thank you, Jeff, for that word. If our country from the President all the way down to dog-catcher would hear what this man said, and obey it, we'd have a new country, wouldn't we? We'd have a new nation in the Lord. Praise God.'

My Deepest Love,
