[music] Glory. Glory to God. Welcome to

Prayer Con 26. We're so glad you're

here. Why don't you do me a favor? Turn

around both directions and shake hands

with the people in front of you and the

people in back of you. If you don't know

their name, ask them their name. They

might be a first time guest. So go ahead

and

Hallelujah. Well, I want to personally

welcome you. We're so glad to have you

joining in the house. And for those of

you online, we welcome you as well. We

want to encourage you to enter in to

every aspect when we praise and when we

worship. Join us. wherever you're

watching from and when we pray, join in

with us. Don't be a spectator, be a

participator right where you are. But

again, we're glad that you're there and

we're glad that you're here. So, we do

welcome you. We kicked off this morning

and what a kickoff. Amen. God showed up.

God showed out. And you know, those

seven people that came forward,

was that not amazing?

Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful. and

they all received exactly what they had

need of. And so, um, I just believe that

God is moving across the earth. He's

moving. He's moving across the earth

because I believe that we're living in a

day where Jesus is coming soon. And

there's a call going out. There's a call

going out to draw near. Draw near like

never before. And so, that's what we're

here for this week. We're here to pray.

Prayer conference 2026.

And so, we're going to be praying. Um,

pastor said this morning he felt like we

would be praying regarding some

assignments. So, we'll just walk that

out and we'll follow the Holy Ghost

leading. How many of you say that's

okay?

>> That's okay. So, we pray on our end. We

prepare and then we come and we follow

and just flow where we he wants to flow.

That's where we'll get the most

accomplished by following his lead.

Amen. You know, we've got a lot of good

ideas, but we don't want our ideas. We

want his ideas. And so, um, so yeah. So,

we're just again glad that you are here.

We'll be here um tomorrow morning at

10:30 over in the youth building. There

will be no child care during those

meetings and they those morning services

will not be streaming, but we'll be

there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

morning at 10:30. We'll be back in here

at 700 p.m. every night. And in the

evenings, we'll be streaming live. If

you are watching, drop a line. Let us

know where you're watching from. I know

that people are watching all over and um

even overseas they'll be watching later

or or watching now. Let us know where

you're watching from. Uh but we'll be

having kids ministry as well uh every

evening. And so teaching your kids how

to pray. You know, I wish uh I'd have

known some of the things that I know

now, but I'm very thankful for what I

did know. Born again at four, filled

with the Holy Ghost at eight, and raised

uh in a godly home. My mom and dad were

pastors. And so, uh, I'm very thankful

for my heritage, but not everyone has

that. And I know a lot more now. Let's

just say I know a lot more now than I

did then. And so, I'm thankful for

progress. Amen. And, uh, God's just

looking for a people who will be

faithful to pray. Faithful to pray, to

answer the call to pray. So, that's why

we're here this week. Um, so about maybe

it was last Sunday or the Sunday before,

I I uh put a challenge out to our church

family and I challenged everyone to read

your Bible through this year

and I just said I had run across um

something that uh

re yes Freda Lindsay uh used to tell

their students and used to do and it's

called the three five plan. How many of

you are familiar with that? The 35 plan.

You read three chapters every day,

Monday through Saturday. And on Friday

or Saturday, Sunday, sorry, on Sunday,

you read five chapters. So, I got up

really early this morning and got my

five chapters in. But I've been reading

three chapters every day. And if you'll

do that, by the end of December, we will

have read the entire Bible through.

Isn't that amazing? How do you eat an

elephant? One bite at a time. And so I

would encourage you um if you haven't

started a reading plan yet this year,

it's not too late. We're only 11 days

into the new year. I would encourage you

make a determination and a decision. I'm

going to read the entire Bible through.

I started in Matthew.

I just, you know, it's just easier

reading. And I just thought I want to

start in the New Testament, read the New

Testament, and then go back and read the

Old Testament. So I started in Matthew.

I finished Matthew. uh started in Mark

actually yesterday. But it was so

interesting. I loved reading in Matthew

about all the miracles,

the miracles of Jesus, what he did, how

he did it, why he did it. You can just

read and miracle after miracle. And

there's one miracle that I ran across

and I found out that this miracle is in

every four gospels. It's in Matthew,

it's in Mark, it's in Luke, and it's in

John. And it is the only miracle that is

in every four gospels. Guess what it is?

The feeding of the 5000.

Isn't that interesting? I never knew

that. It's in every four gospels. only

only miracle that's in every for every

gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

So, I read it in Matthew and um and I've

always loved the story, but it just rose

up in me to encourage you with the fact

that

Jesus operates on a whole different

level than we do when it comes to math.

He likes to operate in the

multiplication tables.

Multiplication gets you where you're

going a lot faster than just addition.

And he doesn't subtract or divide,

but he multiplies. And so, um, so I was

reading that, reading the Gospels,

reading the story of the 5000 and how,

um, Jesus went to a a place to pray and

this huge crowd of 5,000 followed him.

We all know the story. But that's 5,000

men. For some reason, women and kids

didn't amount to anything.

But if we were to add the women and the

kids, it was probably anywhere between

10 and 15,000.

That's a lot of people. And so, I'm

going to include them because they were

important. So, he goes out and they've

been with them all day and it gets

begins to get dark and and uh the

disciples says, "We need to send them

into town to get food." Jesus says, "No,

let's feed them." And they're like,

"Well, we don't have any food." And

neither do they. And this little boy

steps up with probably what was his

supper, maybe his lunch, too. And it was

five loaves and two fish. And I'm sure

that those two fish were mullet.

How many of y'all have ever had mullet?

Oh, y'all missed half your life, man.

That's that's that's good. G Coast fish,

mullet. And so anyway, he had five

loaves and two fish. And the story goes

on to say that Jesus took the five

loaves of bread. And I was meditating on

it. You need to when you read the

gospels, read the miracles,

meditate on it. And I was thinking about

that. Five loaves and two fish.

Yeah. That's all he had. They came and

they brought it to Jesus. And I don't

care how big someone might project that

that those loaves of bread were. You

cannot get loaves of bread big enough to

feed 5,000 people. Come on, let's get

real about it. Can you imagine? You'd

have to have a semis semise plural carry

on those loaves of bread. No, they were

a normal size of bread. Five loaves and

two fish. And it says they brought them

to Jesus and he took them. And the first

thing he did, it says he blessed them

and gave thanks

and I just paused and I thought about

that.

How many times do we sit down in a

restaurant

and we're embarrassed to bow our head

and pray over our food and bless our

food and thank him for it? Jesus blessed

and thank God for those loaves of bread

and two fish. There are people in the

world, many people in the world that

have no food. We need to be thankful for

food. You need to be bold. Please don't

stand up in a restaurant and shout at

the top of your lungs. But don't be

embarrassed.

Thank God for the food and bless it.

Bless it. Our food needs blessing. So

that just stuck with me. I thought,

"Wow." Jesus even took time to thank the

father for the food, the bread, and he

blessed it. And then it said that he

began to break it up and give pieces of

it, parts of it to his disciples to

start feeding the 5000. And he began to

break more, give more, give more, give

more. They kept until every person

had bread and fish to eat. And when they

took up the leftovers,

they had 12 baskets of food left over.

More than they even started out with. To

me, that is a miracle of multiplication.

Major miracle. Major miracle. And guess

who I think got to take the 12 baskets

of food home?

The little boy, he probably took it home

to his parents, his grandparents, his

aunts, his uncles, and all the

neighbors. They're like, "Where did you

get this?" The master,

the master, he blessed it and multiplied

it, and this was what was left. And so,

I've heard that story all my life. God

is a God of multiplication.

Maybe you're in a situation where you

need something multiplied. you need

something multiplied. He's the God of

multiplication.

But you know, when we always just kind

of stop with the miracle of the 5000.

And as I'm reading through Matthew a few

chapters later, it starts talking about

the feeding of the 4,000.

You never hear about the feeding of the

4,000, but Jesus performed the same

miracle again. And this miracle is

actually in Matthew and Mark. Not all

four, but Matthew and Mark. He did the

same thing. He prayed over it. He

blessed it. He gave thanks. And then he

fed the multitude. Again, 4,000 men. My

guess is maybe 8 to 10,000 women and

children with the men. That's a bunch of

people. And this time, I think he had

seven loaves of bread. And it says a few

little fish, probably sardines.

But again, he blessed it and they began

handing it out. And this time they had

seven baskets full of leftovers. How do

you take How do you take five loaves of

bread, two mullet, or seven loaves of

bread and a bunch of sardines and feed

10,000 people? It's impossible.

But with God, all things are possible.

If you're looking at your bills and

you're sitting there going, "This is

impossible. This is impossible." Well,

God is the God of multiplication. I

can't explain the how, but all I know is

it's what he does. And if he did it in

those situations, he'll do it for us.

He'll do it for us. Take what you have.

Bless it. Give thanks. So, in fact,

there's a verse because I was like, this

word multiply kept going over and in me.

Multiplication. Multiplication. 2

2 Corinthians 9:10

Corinthians 9:10 in the New King James

says, "Now may he who supplies seed to

the swer and bread for food supply and

multiply the seed you have sown and

increase the fruits of your

righteousness." If you sit there and do

nothing, nothing's going to happen. But

it get some seed planted, seed sown. God

has a way of supernaturally

multiplying that seed to meet your need.

I'm convinced all things are possible to

him that what? Believes. So, Father, we

thank you right now for your word. We

thank you for the miracles. But the

miracles didn't stop. Huh? The miracles

still happen today. And that's the best

news of all. You are a God of miracles.

You are a God. You've never changed.

You'll never change. You're a God of

multiplication. So, Father, I thank you

as we give tonight. As we sew tonight,

we sew into the kingdom of God. The

kingdom of God. And that is good ground.

So, as we sew it, I thank you that you

multiply the seed sown back to us. We

give you thanks in the mighty name of

Jesus. Amen. The ways to give are up on

the screen. Um, for those of you who are

family, part of the church family, you

know, thank you for your giving and be

blessed.

like the name of Jesus. No other name

can pick you out of darkness and bring

there's only one name that'll bring you

situation. And we've got to learn

[music] how to call his men first. Come

Hallelujah. Glory to God. You know u

Who you've made us to be, who we're in,

and who's in us. We're grateful for the

great plan of redemption. I know whose I

Lord, teach us what we need to know.

Teach us how we need to flow. Oh yeah.

Let us know the things that'll make us

Glory. Glory. Glory. Praise God. Praise

Well, I guess you can go ahead and be

seated.

A wonderful time of worship.

As we said this morning, it was once

said, "The uh higher we go in praise,

the deeper we'll go in worship." The

deeper we go in worship, the further

we'll go into the glory. Further we go

into the glory, the more we're going to

step into his plan for the church.

Hallelujah. Just starts with praise.

Praise is the highest kind of prayer.

Amen. This is prayer conference.

Glad all of you are here. Those of you

from locally here, part of WOC, those of

you that have come in from other

locations, I see some folks that have

traveled a little distance to get here.

Appreciate you coming. Appreciate you

being here. Those watching online, I

know sometimes there are folks in other

countries. It's a little difficult, but

there's some folks in here that have

come from other countries to come in.

And uh anyway, um we're going to have uh

this is this is just the first night.

>> Hallelujah. We've still got uh tomorrow

and Tuesday and Wednesday. And um um

let's see where we go with this. You

know, when you start on the subject of

prayer, I was talking to Janet about it

just a couple days ago, and I said, you

know, I remember when um when uh

President Trump was in his first term, I

believe, and uh I I don't recall exactly

how the progression went, but I I'm

thinking he's the one that made a

statement one time, you know, they were

talking about I think it was COVID was

in the works, and he said, "Well, just

something about just give me 15 days.

Give us 15 days. Anybody else remember

that?

>> Yeah. Well, I thought that's easy. He

wants 15 days. We'll get we'll give him

15 days. And so we went online, you

know, and got got everything set up on a

a phone at the house and we're going to

we're going to we're going to take 15

days. We're going to pray. And I

thought, well, we'll do that for 15.

Well, we going 15 days. And CO hadn't

left. So, I thought, well, we might as

well just jump in the middle, keep

going.

And I don't know when that was, but I

think that was almost five years ago.

And uh last up till the past couple

weeks it got a little busier but up till

last couple weeks we were having four

four days a week. Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday we had noon hour

prayer 12 noon four days a week for the

last uh we started out with 15 days and

ended up with fi almost five years and

uh you know and I thought there's that's

good. The thing is you know when you

start say okay we're going to we're

going to have prayer conference. Well,

that's great. Except, you know, when you

start getting over into the subject of

prayer and you've been doing it for the

last five years, there's a lot. And uh

you know, the more the further you go

getting ready, the more there is to get

ready for. So, where where we're going

to go, only the Holy Ghost knows. But

that's all right because as long as he

does, we're in good shape. So, uh uh um

let's open our Bibles

to uh Romans chapter 1. Going to go a

Romans 1 · chapter mention

little different direction with this.

We've still got three days after this,

so we're we're in good shape, morning

and night. But uh Romans chapter 1,

Romans 1 · chapter mention

this has been stirring off and on for a

couple days and uh we'll see where

exactly we go with it. But uh Paul's

writing here to the Romans and uh we

love the city of Rome. We love I'm I'm

glad he did the work he did there, you

know, for for Pastor Janet, myself.

We've we've spent a lot of time over in

Rome. We've got uh princes are here.

We've got a fire base in Rome and and uh

I think is there one in Sardinia? Is is

there one going? Got one in Sardinia.

See, we got to keep up with all this.

But anyway, got prayer bases that are

going in different places. And you know,

of course, Rome is one of them. So

that's uh you know, we're kind of

connected to this place. But Paul

writing to the Romans here, writing a

letter to him. He makes a statement

Romans chapter 1 verse 10. He says,

Romans 1:10

"Making a request, if by any means now

at length I might have a prosperous

journey." He's praying for a prosperous

journey. Nothing wrong with that. I've

had those that aren't quite so

prosperous. I'll take the prosperous

ones. Make a request if by any means now

at length I might have a prosperous

journey by the will of God to come to

you. In other words, I can write a

letter to you. I can write a really good

the book of Romans. It's a good letter.

He said, I can send a letter to you. He

says, but I I'm on a prosperous journey

by the will of God to come to you. Verse

11 says, for I long to see you. I can

write a letter. I can do a good letter.

It's a good letter. But he says, "But I

long to see you." Why? That I may impart

unto you some spiritual gift, some

supernatural spiritual endowment, some

dose of the Holy Ghost, some measure of

the third person of the Godhead. For I

long to see you that I may impart to you

some spiritual gift to the end. You

might Why does he want to do that? Does

he just want to have a good Holy Ghost

meeting? Well, that'd be worth it. But

he said, 'I I want I I I long to see you

that I may impart to you some spiritual

gift to the end you might be established

that you might be made to stand. You

might be made stable and sturdy and

stalwart. And he said, "I need I know if

I can get to you, I can send a letter to

you and you can get a great word, but if

I can get to you, you can get a great

presence. And there's something I know

that you're only going to get kind of

face to face. And I long to see you. I'm

praying for a prosperous journey by the

will of God that I might see you because

I long to impart to you some. Now, Paul

Paul wasn't going around, you know, with

a sack over his shoulder and a bunch of

gifts on the inside passing it out. But

I believe what he did was I believe he

went in um moving with the spirit of

God, flowing with the Holy Ghost, uh the

word, the spirit, and going to the

world. I believe that's what he did. And

he got to he wanted to get to Rome

because there's some things that he knew

if he could get to them, it would change

their lives. Well,

I I've been pondering this for a few

days now, and really I have been for a

number of weeks in different situations,

different meetings we've had. And uh

there's [clears throat] something in

that that um uh subject, making

deposits, impartations,

measures of the spirit of God,

something, you know. Yeah, I'm you know,

and I I I'm a word guy, okay? I I'm a

Bible guy. Have been for almost 50

years. and I will be for another 50.

Well, something like that. But anyway,

anyway, um yeah, I'm a Bible guy. I'm a

word. I love the word of God and I

always will, always have. I'm grateful

for the word of God. But if we think

that's going to take care of everything,

we we need to get another thought going

here because you Jesus was the word.

>> In the beginning was the word. The word

was with God. The word was God. The same

as in the beginning with God. So, he was

the word. We know that. But the word

didn't do any miracles until he came up

out of the water. Being baptized by John

the Baptist, came up out of the water

praying. The heavens opened. The spirit

of God descended in bodily form like a

dove. Came upon him. Remained upon him.

And after having no miracles, no signs,

no wonders, no healings, no

demonstrations for roughly 30 years.

Nothing. He didn't turn stones into

bicycles. He didn't work any miracles.

He didn't heal the sick, cleanse the

leper, raise the dead. Didn't do any of

that. But I'll tell you what, when the

Holy Ghost came on the word, the word

and the spirit came together and John

said, "I don't think if everything could

be written down, I don't think the world

would be able to contain all the

miracles he did.

>> None to uncountable ones." What was the

difference when the word and the spirit

came together?

>> And I believe that's what the Apostle

Paul knew. He'd been to the third

heaven. He knew some important things,

uh, some things unlawful to be uttered,

of course, but he knew about that. and

and he he said, "I long to see you

because I want to give you a measure of

something. I can send you a great

letter. I can send you a great message."

And that's good. It's going to help you,

but if I can get to you, I will bring to

you something that'll change the course

of your life, and it will establish you.

Now, I don't know about you,

when I got my life straightened out with

God in uh 1972,

when I got that done, a kind of student

at university running from God, running

as fast as I could to get away. No

matter where you go, he's there waiting

for you. And I was trying to get away,

you know, and and and I was trying to

find something that would work. And um

you know and and uh I I finally got my

life right with God. Began to start to

try to read a Bible and I was doing

pretty good with that. But I knew there

was something that I was needing and I

didn't know what it was. And I found a

major clue to it. Haven't got it all.

I'm still working on all that. But when

you go back through there, like Paul

said, I long to see you that I may

impart to you some spiritual gift, some

supernatural spiritual endowment, some

dose of the Holy Ghost. There's a song

we used to do in our Holy Ghost rallies.

Just one dose of the Holy Ghost is not

enough for me. I won't sing it to you,

but uh you know, but

but anyway, um

this subject where Paul wrote to that

on, you know, and and it's all through

the scriptures, old and new testament,

but when Paul wrote in there, he said,

"I long to see you that I that I may

impart." And I don't think he had the

the control over who to impart what and

to where and I don't think he had all

that. I it just looks to me like the

Apostle Paul. No, if he just followed

the Holy Ghost, went where he's supposed

to go, followed the spirit of God,

preach the word, let the Holy Ghost flow

as he does, people are going to get a

measure of the spirit of God, and it's

going to change their course of their

life, and it'll get them more

established.

>> You know, when when I began to get

things right with God, I knew I was

going to heaven. I knew things I I knew

I was okay, but I needed to I needed to

get established. My life was not too

awful steady right then. I did really

good for the first week or two

after I walked the aisle, prayed the

prayer, did a week or two, went back to

my dorm, and a week by the time I I was

through another week, then I I you know,

I thought I I need to go get another

dose of that something. And so I I need

I saw the need to be established.

Something that'll make you steady,

sturdy, make you stand, something

that'll make you stalwart. And I didn't

know what would do that. I didn't know

you were supposed to read the Bible.

That would have helped. But Paul even

said, "I can send you a letter, but I

need to see you that I may impart to you

some spiritual gift. To the end you

might be established, made to stand." um

[clears throat] that um

that became a real uh concept for me.

That was something that it changed the

course of my life. This has been I you

know we've got tonight we've got uh

tomorrow two services Tuesday two

Wednesday two and I believe in that time

uh I've just got a stirring that word

keeps rising up on the inside stalwart

established. I really believe if we'll

uh anticipate

and we'll pursue and go after that, I

believe every one of us can leave the

meeting by the time we finish Wednesday

night. I believe every one of us can

have a measure of the spirit of God and

be more established and made to stand

more than we ever have been before. I

just believe there's something in the

works. We've been backing up a step. We

have been in these new hour prayer

meetings we've been having for whatever

four years, something like that. One of

the things we keep praying about. There

were days we didn't we knew not what to

pray for as we ought. So we just let the

Holy Ghost help us. Okay. There were

other times we knew to pray about such

and such a thing. But uh you know one of

the things that we found ourselves

praying about a lot uh it it was you

know roughly a half hour something like

that four days a week. One of the things

we found ourselves praying about a lot

was a was a prayer revival.

Now, and I I remember, you know, over

many years now, I remember hearing you

you get around um uh folks that kind of

came out of the the uh uh Pentecostal

circles, people that came out of, you

know, whether it be Assembly of God,

Church of God, Pentecostal Church,

whatever. People that came out of the

Pentecostal circles, you finally

sometimes you get some of the older

folks,

whatever that means. But you know, but

I've had those folks tell us about

meetings they'd be in where they'd be in

a church service and the Holy Ghost

would fall. Power of God would fall.

Power of God. They didn't have to say,

"Okay, everybody, you know, take a knee.

Let's pray." When the Holy Ghost fell,

people fell. They got on their knees.

They got on their faces. They ran the

aisles. They danced. They shouted, but

they prayed. And they had a move of

prayer in the circles back then. And I

don't know about you, I've gotten a

little tired of trying to look for that

to happen. I'm ready for that to happen

where the Holy Ghost comes in and

invades.

>> He did it for years. Why should he not

be doing it today? Why should we have

gotten so sophisticated that we don't

have a prayer move in there?

>> It's available.

>> But there's something and I've got that

string. I don't know how close we are to

that, but I have a sense that we are

very close to another outpouring of

prayer. You know, you're not going to

have a great move of God till you have a

move of prayer. You're not going to have

a great revival until it's jump started

with a move of prayer. It's got to have

something to get it moving. Okay? And uh

so anyway, coming back around, I was uh

back in actually 19 it would have been

1975, May of 1975. I had I had uh left

Michigan, left my job back there, moved

down here, and uh Brother Hagen had just

started Rama Bible Training Center.

Okay. Started it in in uh 19 I think it

was uh uh what was September of 1974.

And uh I got in October,

just a couple weeks late, but I got in

there and and went through the uh went

through the school year. And I remember

brother Hagen, we got to the end and

he'd come in oh pretty consistently.

He'd go out and do meetings on the road,

but he'd come back in and he'd do a week

of meetings with we students. Sometimes

he'd do a meeting with the students in

the morning and open to the public at

night and but he spent a lot of time

with us.

Needed to

really needed to. But anyway, um we had

a a prayer conference. I think it was

January 1975. He had a uh the first

first annual prayer conference. And of

course now it's gone to winter Bible

seminar. And so it's it's gone along the

way. It's grown over the years. But um

we got to the end of the school year,

which would have been uh in May, and

we're about to graduate and everybody's

figuring out what they're going to do.

And I remember Brother Hagen said uh uh

and and I don't know about you, but I

you know, I when I got in his sessions,

I heard him teach things I'd never heard

before. They did not have that in the

church I grew up in. Yeah,

>> there's a lot they didn't have in the

church I grew up in. And so, you know,

so I I every time he'd teach and some

things that were new, I'd go back, you

know, to my apartment afterward and I'd

get my Bible out and I'd search that. I

wanted to make sure it was in the

scriptures.

>> I couldn't find anything that wasn't.

So, I'm listening real good. And he

said, "Now, come back uh whatever it

was." I think the next Monday, I'm not

real sure what it was, but he said,

"Come back in, you students, and those

of you that have a spouse, bring your

spouse with you. Bring them with you if

you'd like to. We're going to have a

laying on of hands service. I didn't

know what that meant, you know, didn't

have a clue about that. Said, "We're

going to have a laying out of hand

service and uh come in. We're going to

lay hands. We're going to separate you

out of here." You know back there in the

the book of acts the 13th chapter we

it's 13th chapter of acts verse one

there were in the church which was at

Antioch certain prophets and teachers

such as Barnabas and Saul named five

guys and said as they ministered to the

Lord and fasted the Holy Ghost said

separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for

the work to I've sent them and when

they'd fasted and prayed they laid laid

their hands on him sent forth. So he

used that as an example we're going to

do for you students what they did back

there in the church at Antioch. I

thought, well, we got a good scriptural

basis here. So, but I didn't know what

that was all about. So, we came back in

whenever he said to come in and there

were 58 of us, the students, some of the

guys had a spouse with him. And uh so he

he had us all line up and and uh you

know, some things some things just stick

with you, you know, it's like

life-changing. And so I'm in in the line

and he prayed for a line of people. was

it was just a little wooden building up

on uh you know north part of Sheridan

and he's u laying hands on everybody and

uh you know and and so I'm I'm in the

line. I'm in I got in my my place in the

line but he began to lay hands on people

and and I can still remember I don't

know what he prayed over anybody else. I

wasn't paying any attention. But when he

got to me, I can still remember he said,

"Now, Lord, as we lay hands on these

students, these graduating students, as

we lay our hands on them and send them

forth into that which you've called them

to do." And he went on prayed certain

things. Lord, I pray that you'll let

them know what it is they need to do.

Let them know where to start, how to

prayed certain things, not long, just a

little bit. And and he said, "Lord, and

I pray that you will impart to them some

that same spirit of faith that you put

in me so many years ago." Well, if

there's anything I knew about Brother

Hagen, I didn't know a lot about him,

but if there's anything I knew about

him, he really knew how to walk the walk

of faith. Been healed of incurable blood

disease. He had, you know, had a

deformed heart, had all this, and here

he is traveling the nation covering. So,

I said, well, I don't know what that is,

but God, if there's a spirit, I I knew,

you know, Paul wrote to the Corinthians

and said, we having the same spirit of

faith.

>> Okay, I knew that we having the So, I

knew there was an attitude. Not it's not

a different than the Holy Spirit, but

it's an attitude of faith. And I

thought, well, apparently there's an

attitude of faith.

>> Okay? And he said, "Lord, I pray that

you'll impart to them that same spirit

of faith that you put in me so many

years ago." When he said that, man, I

clicked into gear. About that time, he

put my hands on me and I felt absolutely

nothing. [laughter]

If it was there, I didn't know it. I

didn't fall. I didn't jump. I didn't

run. I didn't shout. I just went back to

my seat. That's all I knew. I thought I

don't know what that was, but he prayed

it, so I must have got it.

>> Now, I don't know how to explain it, but

you know, we'd been this this was 1974

into 1975. The the week I got to school,

like I said, a couple weeks late. We had

a guest minister in there, and he spent

the entire week, all morning long for

five days, he's teaching on uh Mark

Mark 11:23

11:23 and 24. He's teaching on the

prayer of faith. Never heard anything

like that. never heard that before. And

so I'm I'm real hungry for this. But

we'll put it this way. By the time I'd

gone through nine months of school, if

there's anything I'd heard, it was

faith.

>> We had Dr. Fred Price in. We had Kenneth

Copeland in. We had Brother Hagen in. We

had uh we could go on and on. Anybody

that wasn't even anybody yet came in and

taught in the school. People you could

go down the road in four or five years

and oh, everybody knew him. Back in

those days, nobody knew him. But they

came in. They're friends of Brother

Hagens. had come in and uh you know so

so

where you know I I didn't know what I

was looking for but I knew I'd heard

faith taught every way you could I'd

heard it taught so many ways I I didn't

know which way was working. I finally

told God I said Lord I I I hate to say

this but I'm confused. I've heard faith

taught from so many directions I don't

even know which one to start with. If

you'd help me with that I would greatly

appreciate it. And nothing happened. But

anyway, anyway,

about a week after that, I don't know

how to explain it, but about a week

after that, all of a sudden, something

went off on the inside of me. I couldn't

feel it. I couldn't describe it to you.

I couldn't tell you what it was, but all

I know is something got on the inside of

me. And when it did, I thought, just

give me somewhere to go. I don't care

where it is. I don't care how bad it is.

I don't care what nation it is. just

give me somewhere to go because I'm

going to go and get me a one-way ticket

because I don't plan to come back. There

was something got in me that there's no

such thing as impossible.

>> Now, I've tried for a long time to

figure out what that was. And I finally

looked back a couple weeks and

remembered that laying out of hand

service when he said, "Lord, I I pray

that you'll impart to them that same

spirit of faith." Something got

deposited in my life. I saw the reality

of that. I wasn't I didn't go looking

for it. I didn't say, "Lord, I'm going

to go to Raymond, get a Holy Ghost

deposit." I just wanted to be able to

graduate. That was questionable at

times.

[laughter]

Anyway, then I went to work for him and

it really got worse. Bless his heart,

brother. He had a he had a job to do.

But anyway,

but over time I I I began to study that

and I began to see that uh the numbers

the 11th chapter when when Moses he he

said God [gasps and sighs] I got I'll

I'll kind of explain this. He said,

"God, I got a church of three million

people." You know, could you imagine

having a church of three million people

and none of them saved? [laughter]

>> That's not a church. That's a nightmare.

He said, you know, he said, "Lord, Lord,

I've got all these people. I can't do

this. Lord, I got a good idea. How about

you just kill me?

[laughter]

Just kill me. Let me go to heaven." Oh,

God, let me go to heaven. Just kill me.

And of course, God, you know, he's on

the other side of this. He goes, "Oh, I

got a better idea." When he says that,

anyway, he says, "Just pick out 70 of

your your your best leaders and bring

them aside. Get them into the

tabernacle. When you do, I'm going to

come down there. when I do my spirit I'm

going to take some of my spirit off of

you and I'm going to put it on them and

they're going to get what you got and

they're going to help you with this and

you're going to fulfill your call.

>> Well, I kept looking through there

um uh Numbers the 27th chapter when uh

uh you know God spoke to um

Moses and he said you know go get Elijah

and and put your hands on him give him

some of your honor. We don't know what

that was. But then you go to the end of

the book of Deuteronomy, I think it's

the 34th chapter, and he says, and he

said Joshua was filled with the spirit

of wisdom

because Moses had laid his hands upon

him. He got a deposit of the Holy Ghost.

Well, I kept seeing that. And of course,

we know Elijah and Elisha. Elijah had

the anointing of God on him. But Elisha

walked with him for 15 years. And

finally, Elijah said, "What do you

want?" He said, "You want fame? You want

fortune? You want money?" He said, "I

just want what you got,

>> but I don't want to stop there. I don't

want what you got. I want to double what

you got because if one can help all that

many people, then a double can help

twice as many people. I want a double

portion. He said, "Well, you've asked a

hard thing, but if you see me when I go

now, he's got a guy that's on him like a

coat of paint. If you see me, if you see

me when I go, you're going to get it."

He can't get away from this. Every time

he goes somewhere, I'm going to Gilgal.

I'm going to No, he's not getting away

anywhere because he said, "If you see me

when I go, you're going to get it."

And we of course we know when uh you

know they they went to the river and and

and Elijah parted it went over on the

other side. Elisha standing on the other

side of the river watching of course and

uh Elijah threw the mantle out of the

the uh chariot of fire. Threw the mantle

out of there and Elisha went and picked

it up and what did he say? He said,

"Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" split

the waters and went and did exactly

twice as many miracles. He was one

miracle short when he died and they put

a guy on his bones in there in the tomb

and he got raised from the dead. He he

got exactly twice as many miracles. But

there was something about that

impartation deposits of the Holy Ghost

all through the old. Then you get over

into the new and you see the same thing

working there. Well,

uh, yeah, I just remember back there

around those times I, uh, I had the

privilege to work for Brother Hagen.

Okay. It was just, it was just divine,

just divine something. I, you know, I

finished up. I was going to go back to,

you know, to Michigan, go back into real

estate. I was going to do all that. But,

uh, they needed a couple guys to go on

the road with them that summer. Brother

Hagen did. So Doug Jones, who's still on

the staff there at Rama, one of the

instructors, and he and I were neither

one of us had anything particular we

needed to do. So they asked if we'd go

to work for him. We said, "Well, sure.

Of course we'll do that." So we went on

the road and Doug's job was to run the

prayer uh rooms, get people born again,

filled with the Holy Ghost. My job was

to be I was the catcher for the prayer

lines. That was my job. I said, "God, I

will do this the rest of my life. I will

catch for Brother Hagen. I don't care if

it's a million people. I will catch for

him the I I got I had pulled muscles. I

got stuck with hat pins. I'm telling you

what, it was a rough life.

But I'll tell you what, in those times,

>> in those times, I remember we were doing

a meeting in uh goodness, I I think it

was in Florida and Brother Hagen's doing

the the the the line

and uh and I'm we I mean, we didn't have

like four or five catchers. I was the

catching team and I thought if I don't

get it right, he's not going to

appreciate that. He was a very kind man,

but he didn't want to mess up his prayer

lines. And so, so we're we're going down

and it was a a church with pews in it.

And I'm catching people and he and the

anointing was so strong and he was

moving so fast and and I was catching

people. I'd get one in this hand, one in

this hand. And and anyway, got to the

end of the rope. I don't know what

happened, but all of a sudden, the power

of God fell. And when it did, it hit me.

And I didn't I didn't go down. I went

over the end of the pew, landed in the

aisle on the other side of the pew, laid

there, and I thought, "This is so good."

I thought, "But Brother Hagen is not

going to ask how good this is." So I

crawled out from under that presence.

The glory was in there. And I came out

of there, and I don't know how to

explain it, but it changed my life. I

got a deposit of the Holy Ghost. I

didn't go looking for it. It wasn't

laying on of hands. you know, it it w it

wasn't even just association. Something

happened getting over into his presence.

>> And oh goodness, I mean, you know,

Pastor Janet and I we were in uh I'll

I'll finish up with this in a few

minutes. We were in uh

uh Fort Worth. I believe it was Bob

Nichols church, I think, wasn't it?

>> Yeah. Brother Hagen had a meeting there

and and I said, "We we're going wherever

we need to go. I'm going to get some

more of this

because I know every time we get around

that, we get something. And when we get

something, we can go deposit something.

>> And so we man, we would we'd cancel

meetings. We'd go down, you know, drive

down, get a hotel room, and we'd go to

all the services. Well, we were in a

service one night, and uh Brother

Hagen's ministering, and he it went it

went really long, okay? And uh people

people start getting up walking out. And

I thought I wouldn't do that if I was

you. We've been around him a long time.

And when all the unbelief walks out,

it's when the faith comes in.

So about that time, bunch of people

walked out and I thought, I will be here

tomorrow morning. If he's preaching, I'm

sitting. I we we will stay here. And

about that time and and we were we were

beginning to do a lot of work in uh

throughout the continent of Europe and

uh brother Hagen uh man it was just if

we got in a meeting like that we didn't

pull on it. We didn't do anything to try

to steer the meeting but it wasn't

uncommon for him to look out see us and

say Mark and Janet come up here I need

to lay hands on you. I think I'll take

that. Whatever it is I'll take a double.

But he that was one of those meetings.

He's on the platform and he said I see

Mark and Janet up there. Come up here. I

need to lay hands on you, too. So, boy,

we headed up there. Thought I don't I

don't know what it is, but I'll take it.

I'm a firm believer in having deposits

of the Holy Ghost, impartations of the

spirit of God. Don't know if you feel

it. Don't care if you feel it. Doesn't

make any difference. I'm going to get

something. We We'll get something. We

didn't go to meetings just see what was

going to happen. We went to pick

something up so we could take it to the

nations.

So, so anyway, we got up on the platform

up there and uh maybe my wife can help

me with who we got up there and she and

I are standing on the platform and

brother Hagen is looking toward us like

he's going to lay hands on us and he's

got Ra. Was it Ray Gene?

>> Raene Rene will everybody know Raene.

>> Raene was behind him and it was in he

was pretty stocky at the time. He's

right behind brother Hagen. So we got us

here. You got Brother Hagen here. You

got Raine behind him. I don't know if

there's anybody behind them. Then

there's a catcher behind each one of us.

So we have this whole group of people up

there. And all I know is brother Hagen

reached out and he began prophesying

about us to us about what was going to

come, what was going to happen in the

nations, what would take place in

different locations. He began to say

things. And as he laid hands on us, all

I know is I just have this recollection

of not just falling, but flying backward

into the laps of the catchers behind us.

Next thing I know, I'm on the floor. My

lovely wife's on the floor next to me.

There's two catchers that are underneath

us. Brother Hagen's on top of us. Ray

Jean's on top of him. And I think

another guy or two on top of him. We had

we had a you know we used to do those in

you know after football games we we

yeah

I thought I don't know if I I don't know

how to get out from under here and I'm

not sure I want to get out from under

here.

We we got up off of that group and after

the service we were headed somewhere and

we saw Brother Hagen. He said you pull

me down. I said well why would I pull

you down? I didn't pull you down. He

said somebody pulled me down. I said I

didn't do it on us. He said, "All I know
