Many of you knew me from years ago in the rock'n'roll, singin' the hard songs. Singin' 'that I was born under a bad sign', left out in the cold.' I was put in jail as a young child. I cursed my mother; and I cursed God. At age fifteen, or possibly just when I was turnin' sixteen, I got my first hit record. It was called You've Gone Too Far. And I was talkin' about the authority. And it was defiant. My second hit record was called A Thousand Devils. I was singin' at sixteen years old, already singin' about the devil. And the lyrics said, 'A thousand devils are chasing me.' Then I spoke about a woman, and I said, 'But I have an angel who cares.' My life was a mess. I praise God that I married this young Catholic woman, Maureen Hope Marie McFadden. Then she became Fenholt. I call her Reeni. She went to a priest who was a member of the Charismatic Movement. How many know there are Catholics who are saved, and love Jesus Christ? Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord Jesus.

This priest lead my wife to the Lord, introduced her to Jesus. And she began to pray to Jesus. She no longer lit candles. Or maybe she did, I don't know. All I know is her prayers changed. She began to say things like this, 'I bind you, satan, in the name of Jesus.' And I'd look at her. And I'd say, 'What? You can't talk to me that way. You're a Catholic. What does your priest think about that?' Reeni said, 'Oh, my priest is saved, too.' My life was a livin' hell from that point on. She told me that I had a drug problem. 'You need Jesus. You have a drug problem.' I said, 'I don't have a drug problem. Poor people have drug problems. I am wealthy. I can buy all the drugs I want. No problems.' :) Then there was a day when I went to an area of my home. And I faced a man who didn't ask me, 'Are you a Protestant? Are you a Catholic? Are you a Pentacostal? Are you a Baptist? Are you Hispanic? What are you?' He looked me straight in the face. And he said, 'You played the part of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, now are you ready to meet the real Jesus Christ?' At that point there was a confrontation, heaven and hell. And yet Greater is He that's in us, then he that is in the world. Jesus is greater than the devil. Jesus is greater than the devil. Jesus is greater than the devil!

I know by television, some of you that believe that the devil has power, you have received some power from the devil. Yes, he has some power. But all authority is given to Jesus in heaven and on earth. So I speak to those of you that are in witchcraft; those of you in voodoo; and those of you in satanism. Be careful when you pronounce a curse against me, or against anyone who is under the blood of Jesus. I felt in my spirit that when some of you that are lost in darkness, see this telecast, you will try to pronounce a curse. I prayed for you. I prayed that God will have mercy on you. Because I believe God's Word. It says that, your curse that you put against those who fear God, the creator of the heavens and the earth. Those curses will come back on you sevenfold. Be careful. Be very careful. Receive Jesus. And find out where the real power is.

I have a few minutes. How many will give me two minutes? Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen. Praise God. Some of you think maybe it's a little bit long here. Before you were saved, you weren't even drunk yet at nine twenty. :) Do you remember those days? When you used to wake up huggin' the tiolet, with your arms and your head on the cold bowl? :) And you didn't know how to pray, but you would try. And you would say, 'To whom it may concern, If I can live through this I'll never drink again.' :) You know, I know you. Then you go right back and do it again. If I needed drugs, I would do them. If I needed alcohol today, I would get drunk. I don't need alcohol. I don't need drugs. Jesus has set me free.

The Word of God tells us in Hebrews 1, In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets, at many times, and in various ways. But in these last days, He has spoken to us [God has spoken to us] by His Son. Whom He appointed heir of all things. And through Whom He made the universe. Who is Jesus? The Word of God says, He was appointed heir, He is appointed heir of all things. And through Jesus God made the universe. Do you hear that? Through Jesus God made the universe. And the Word of God tells us, The Son of God is the radiance of God's glory, and the exact representation of His being. Jesus is the radiance of God's glory, and the exact representation of His being. Sustaining all things by His powerful Word. After Jesus had provided purification for our sins. He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven. Now in John 1, the Word of God says, In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made. Without Him nothing was made that has been made. Do you hear that? Without Jesus nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in darkness; but the darkness has not understood it. And the Word of God tells us in verse 12, Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God. The Word of God says, verse 14, The Word became flesh, and lived for awhile among us. In Genesis 1, the Word of God says, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. There are people that tell you that the Holy Spirit is not for today. And yet the Word of God tells us In the beginning the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. I tell you, Jesus is the same yesterday, day, and forever. And the Holy Spirit is here for us today.

The Word of God tells us, And God said, Let there be light. The Word of God I just read before said, through Jesus all that is made was made through Jesus. Who did God speak through? Let there be light. Jesus. When God said, Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let there be light from the expanse of the sky. The heavens and the earth were created through Jesus.

When I met Jesus, I no longer needed to go through some spirit or somethin'. I no longer had to search. I no longer had to pray to this one, or to that one. I no longer had ask for forgiveness of my sins from some one like me. But the Word of God tells us that, Jesus understands us. When I was doin' drugs, Jesus understood. When I was a sinner, Jesus understood.

I want everyone to stand. The Word of God tells us, Everyone who calls on the name of Jesus, will be saved. If you believe in your heart, that Jesus raised from the dead, you will be saved. If you confess Him with your mouth. Praise you, my Jesus. Praise you, my Lord Jesus.

My Deepest Love,
