Praise the Lord. Praise God! Everytime I stand up and witness for the Lord, I proclaim His power and His grace to set me free, and to set you free. I praise Jesus, everytime I stand up, I praise Him for delivering me off drugs. Father, I praise you for delivering me from drugs. I praise you for delivering me out of fear and panic attacks that had come from being in the occult. For the devil binds his people with fear. But the Word says, God is Spirit, and the Spirit is freedom. And, He who the Son sets free, is free indeed. And I am free tonight through the blood of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God.

Reeni and I have been through a real storm. And I'm gonna tell you somethin', brothers and sisters. When you go through trials and tribulations, I tell you, God is working a work. For all things work together for good for those who love God. And are called according to His purpose.

There is one thing I would like to address a little bit. But I'm gonna tell you, the church has takin' some hits. We've takin' some abuse. But the church at its worst, is better than the world at its best. I'll tell you that right now. And I've seen both sides.

Some of you guys, that have called in to me from your rock'n'roll bands, some of my old buddies have called in. I've heard from members of R.A.T.; I've heard from members of K.I.S.S. [lovely names]; different rock groups. Different people calling in and wanting to know what's goin' on in my life. Well, I'll tell you, three things are goin' on in my life. Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. There's some of you that call in wanting to know why I'm witnessing now? Because I've been set free. I've been given my mind back. Some of you that are out there in Hollywood, driving your Rolls Royces. And you know me from the old days. You wonder, what's happened? I have not been brainwashed. I've been heartwashed. Jesus has cleansed me by His precious blood. Yeah, I can throw on a pair of leathers; or, I can walk into the Rainbow, or some place in Los Angeles. I can hang out with my old buddies and my old friends. I used to scream rock, 'Come on, we're goin' to rock.' See. And I was into all that garbage. Some people think I've given up rock. Well, I really haven't given up anything. Because to be honest with you, if I wanted to rock tonight, I could. God didn't take away my ability to scream like a moroon. I can still do it any time I want. :) God didn't come to take away your fun; Jesus came to take away your pain. That's what's happenin' in my life. I'm gonna tell you rock'n'rollers, and you head-bangers out there, I'm still into head-banging only its a different type. Now I'm banging the devil's head in the name of Jesus. That's the only head-banging goin' on here. But I'm gonna tell you somethin'. I love you guys, a lot of you guys in the heavy metal scene. I could start naming names of different groups; different places I've been; different labels I've been with, but it's not worth while. But I'm gonna tell you somethin'. You guys that write in and call in to me, saying, 'Come back where you belong.' I'll tell you, this is my family here. You guys might be my old buddies, but this is my family here. We're one family, one holy race under the blood of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit, You're welcome in this place. Praise God. You, young people, I challenge you to come to the Lord and find out where the real power is. The devil's loaded his big guns against you, but I know that you are a wild group. You're a rebellious group. The only thing you need to rebel against is the kingdom of hell. And give your heart to the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings, Jesus. If those rock'n'rollers that you look up to so much are so cool, if they have answers, let me challenge all you dudes out there that are rockin'. If you think it is cool, and so powerful, why don't you come into the prisons with me? And why don't you see what's happenin' out there in the real world? Instead of backstage? If you're so full of power, you friends of mine, why don't you come out and see where the true power is? Most of these guys, that you're lookin' up to in the rock groups, I'll tell you somethin', they got no answers. I had no answers, but I'm movin' ahead. Much to the chagrin of many people. We've had some hits. We've takin' a little water, but we weren't treading water. Boat still floats. :)

The Word of God says in II Timothy 3, There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves. Lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy. Psssh! I don't want to get into that. But I will say, check out some of these rock concerts. And you know, I love you rock'n'rollers. I love you guys. But I don't love what's goin' on out there. And I'm tellin' you guys, I think you've stepped over the line. I know that when I was working with Black Sabbath on the Seventh Star album, Motley Crue was in the same studios working on Theater Of Pain. At that time they were letting the art department put pentagrams, and all this other garbage, on their album covers. People say, 'Oh, that doesn't mean anything. Pentagrams, that's nothing.' Might not mean anythin' to you, but it means somethin' to that next demon that walks by and sees it on your shirt. He's gonna say, 'That's a bull's eye, right there. Let's go for it.' :) We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities, and rulers in high places. Don't get mad at me, call me. You guys want to talk, I'll talk. You want to pray, I'll pray all night long, all night and all day. I don't care. Three and a-half years ago I had the same manager as the Crue. He managed Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, and Skid Row. What a group. :) I understand that in the Crue's last concert tour, they started their tour out by bringing a pentagram up on stage. Then a voice comes on that says [I don't like to repeat this], it tells different spirits that they are welcome in that place. If that's a theatrical experience for you, you better watch it. You're not playing with fire, you're in the fire. And you're goin' to get burned. You're goin' to get yourselves burned. You say, 'Well, it's just a theatrical thing. We're just in it for the money. Just in it to do what we're doing. Just gonna, Go out and rock! See.' Well, let me tell you somethin' If you go down here to the bank. And you decide you're just goin' to go in there for the money. You decide you're goin' to rob 'em. And somebody gets killed in the process. You're going to be hauled up before a judge. And you're not going to be charged with trying to rob the bank. You're goin' to be charged with murder. And whether you say that you didn't mean it or not, they're goin' to hold you accountable. If man's law, which is corruptible, judges so harshly. How much more will a righteous God come down on those who have opposed everything that is decent and righteous? You say, 'Oh, a loving God wouldn't send anyone to hell.' You're right. You sent yourself to hell. Jesus is the way out. You have to receive Him as your Lord and Savior. God gave His best. He gave His only begotten Son, so that you could come out. Everybodies talkin' about comin' out. Comin' out of this; comin' out of the closet on that; comin' out of the other things. You need to come out of darkness. Come to the Lord. Put it to the test. Say, 'Jesus, if you're Lord, show me.' That's what I did. And now look how cute I am. :) God's done a miracle.

Our hope is in Jesus. And my hope is that I know where I'm goin'. I'm tellin' ya, the way I prayed. I have prayed to the Lord that there is only two ways I want to go out of here, in terms of witnessing for the Lord. That's either feet first or straight up. :) And I believe that the day is coming soon, not feet first but straight up. :) I'm a happy man. How many of you tonight love Jesus with all your heart? And you're not goin' back to the old things of this world? Like a dog returns to his vomit, that's what it is when you go back to you're old ways. I've been set free of drugs. I'm not signing for that package anymore. I'm not signing for darkness and death. I'm goin' up yonder to be with my Savior Jesus. Let's stand up and praise the Lord. We're all allowed to be happy here tonight, too. You're allowed to dance in the Spirit. You can even jump over the pews, if you'd like.

My Deepest Love,
