  1. [SPEAKER_04]: How did meet me in the water revival star Elwood?

  2. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it was something else for me anyway.

  3. [SPEAKER_06]: My first time was when you invited me to Lexington, I didn't know what to expect.

  4. [SPEAKER_06]: I showed up over there and people lined up and down the creek bank under the tent.

  5. [SPEAKER_06]: I thought, my goodness, out here in the middle of the hayfield, you know.

  6. [SPEAKER_06]: I never seen nothing like that in my life.

  7. [SPEAKER_06]: And I showed up with no waiters on.

  8. [SPEAKER_04]: No waiters.

  9. [SPEAKER_04]: Well today we're just going to be talking on the porch.

  10. [SPEAKER_04]: Elwood does woods talks and I do porch talks and we decided we would just combine the two and have you a nice little porch talk here today and just explain to you how our revival meet me in the water got started.

  11. [SPEAKER_04]: We are coming up now on two years and I just want to give you a little insight on how it started and how Elwood joined the journey and where we are today.

  12. [SPEAKER_06]: I never dreamed I'd ever be in part or something like this.

  13. [SPEAKER_06]: When you asked me at church, you know, I said, let me get my calendar and look.

  14. [SPEAKER_06]: And see what I had on the docket.

  15. [SPEAKER_06]: I guess what you might say.

  16. [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm free if you want me there.

  17. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll be there.

  18. [SPEAKER_04]: Coz he's retired.

  19. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I was retired.

  20. [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

  21. [SPEAKER_04]: What is he said was he's only acknowledging he is not retired no more.

  22. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it was retired for three months.

  23. [SPEAKER_06]: Then you showed up.

  24. [SPEAKER_06]: And so here we are.

  25. [SPEAKER_04]: Here we are.

  26. [SPEAKER_06]: Here we are.

  27. [SPEAKER_04]: Twenty seven years being a pastor.

  28. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

  29. [SPEAKER_04]: Now the Lord sent you out to the world.

  30. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm telling you, it is an absolute thrilling journey.

  31. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a joyful journey.

  32. [SPEAKER_04]: It is.

  33. [SPEAKER_06]: There are so many people to meet and we have met so many people of all walks of life.

  34. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, God took two broken people.

  35. [SPEAKER_04]: Elwood and I both had a lot of diseases in our bodies and he took two people that were just sick and kind of giving up on life and he gave us new life, new purpose.

  36. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, Elwood was diagnosed with a couple different kinds of cancer.

  37. [SPEAKER_04]: And Jesus touched and healed him.

  38. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was diagnosed with a lot of autoimmune diseases and just a lot of sickness, malnutrition that I was dying from.

  39. [SPEAKER_04]: But God raised me up out of that hospital bed and he said us on a path.

  40. [SPEAKER_04]: that is hard to explain if you haven't watched the videos, but we're going to do our best today on this porch and just kind of explain to you how we got started.

  41. [SPEAKER_04]: So in the very beginning, I started teaching when my life was saved and the Lord raised me out of that hospital bed and set me on this path.

  42. [SPEAKER_04]: He had me really hungry in the word.

  43. [SPEAKER_04]: I just started reading the Bible every day of my life, making sure that I put him first.

  44. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I taught every single day lessons.

  45. [SPEAKER_04]: And I still do, on every platform, I just sit down, I do a Bible study, occasional porch talks, and it really does help a lot of people.

  46. [SPEAKER_04]: I've seen through the years of people's lives being saved and changed because of a video.

  47. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it really inspired me every single day to sit down and do those videos because I knew it could save someone just like Jesus saved me.

  48. [SPEAKER_04]: I wanted them to be saved too.

  49. [SPEAKER_04]: So I kept doing the videos every single day, and then a UFC fighter, Rose Nommie Eunice, she's two times the world champion, and she found me on Instagram.

  50. [SPEAKER_04]: And she started watching the videos and her and I started talking back and forth, and she asked me to baptize her.

  51. [SPEAKER_04]: She drove seventeen hours and I baptized her.

  52. [SPEAKER_04]: And when I baptized her,

  53. [SPEAKER_04]: I stepped in that water and everything I thought I would say I said none of and I said everything that the Holy Spirit guided me to and it was just it was so powerful of the moment where the Lord was showing me like this is what your whole life has led up to.

  54. [SPEAKER_04]: As he continued to send me on this great commission, the second person I baptized was chas.

  55. [SPEAKER_04]: Chaz is the main helper that I have in the water now and his wife Holly is my PA, my personal assistant.

  56. [SPEAKER_04]: So they are very, very close to our ministry and they picked up the calling just like I did.

  57. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I baptized their family and from there it would just be a few people out of town until God said go.

  58. [SPEAKER_04]: He said it is time for meet me in the water.

  59. [SPEAKER_04]: He gave me that title and it was just out of nowhere and I'm like, well, if you want to meet me in the water, I'll be here.

  60. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's how meet me in the water was born literally in the moments I thought who in the world would meet somebody in the water.

  61. [SPEAKER_04]: But they don't know.

  62. [SPEAKER_04]: They don't even know if I'm really going to show up.

  63. [SPEAKER_04]: I just put a flyer out and said I would be here.

  64. [SPEAKER_04]: And so that was my first survival.

  65. [SPEAKER_04]: I put the flyer out.

  66. [SPEAKER_04]: That was it.

  67. [SPEAKER_04]: We have no advertising to this day.

  68. [SPEAKER_04]: We have no paid campaigning.

  69. [SPEAKER_04]: All we do is put a flyer on our socials.

  70. [SPEAKER_04]: And the rest of it speaks for itself the fruit show.

  71. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I put that flyer out and I said that I would be at the first location.

  72. [SPEAKER_04]: It happened to be in North Carolina where I was born and raised.

  73. [SPEAKER_04]: And I slept in a tent.

  74. [SPEAKER_04]: So the first year of Bible, I had no idea what to expect kind of like you and your first Kentucky revival.

  75. [SPEAKER_04]: I had no idea.

  76. [SPEAKER_04]: And people started coming down the hill and I'm like, what am I going to?

  77. [SPEAKER_04]: But the Lord showed me what to do and I baptized.

  78. [SPEAKER_04]: Fifty-four people on my very first.

  79. [SPEAKER_04]: I guess you call it revival.

  80. [SPEAKER_04]: But at the time I just called it meet me in the water because that's what they were doing.

  81. [SPEAKER_04]: They were meeting me in the water, meeting Jesus in the water through me.

  82. [SPEAKER_04]: And so from there you know it went on and I know some of you know the stories and y'all can go back and see the rest of them if you don't remember each location, but it just kept continuing to build at rapid pace.

  83. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean rapid pace.

  84. [SPEAKER_04]: And then finally I got to a place called Damascus, Virginia, which was my hardest revival that I've ever had.

  85. [SPEAKER_04]: It was ice cold water.

  86. [SPEAKER_04]: Who?

  87. [SPEAKER_04]: Ice cold water.

  88. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was in the water for about eight hours.

  89. [SPEAKER_04]: And the people that I baptized there as they walked away from me, the Lord put it in their heart and said,

  90. [SPEAKER_04]: help her.

  91. [SPEAKER_04]: And so the very next revival I had, people started showing up to help me.

  92. [SPEAKER_04]: And so that's how our team started to be formed, that's how it was built.

  93. [SPEAKER_04]: Was people I baptized, God put it on their hearts, and they showed back up, and they said, God told me to help you.

  94. [SPEAKER_04]: And so they started falling into place in the revival.

  95. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, someone started doing salvation so that I could just do the baptism part, then they were having someone, you know, do the salvation, make sure that these people are saved, that they know what being saved means.

  96. [SPEAKER_04]: So we had salvation, then we would have guides, then we had a worship team.

  97. [SPEAKER_04]: So everything just started to come together to form an actual revival.

  98. [SPEAKER_04]: So up until that just me out there, nobody else just me and my own self-authorial would.

  99. [SPEAKER_04]: And then God sent my people.

  100. [SPEAKER_04]: He sent me a crew.

  101. [SPEAKER_04]: He sent me a team.

  102. [SPEAKER_04]: And so our first revival happened.

  103. [SPEAKER_04]: And I had been kind of, what do you say church often where you just can't find the right church?

  104. [SPEAKER_04]: y'all probably know what I'm talking about because woo.

  105. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was church hop and just trying to find a church and I walked into this little church and the pastor there was that absent that day and Pastor Elwood was stepping in and preaching.

  106. [SPEAKER_04]: It's all walked in and I'll never forget sitting in that pew.

  107. [SPEAKER_04]: I had already heard Pastor Elwood's voice before in a dream.

  108. [SPEAKER_04]: I know that sounds crazy but don't get me started on dreams and prophecies.

  109. [SPEAKER_04]: But the Lord had already shown me that it was going to come to pass.

  110. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I sat there and I listened to his words and I was just crying in the pew and I was too afraid to ask him at the first church service there.

  111. [SPEAKER_04]: I was too afraid because I had been burned by religion.

  112. [SPEAKER_04]: I had so many people with their religious views and they didn't want more.

  113. [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't want revival.

  114. [SPEAKER_04]: They may say they won't revival.

  115. [SPEAKER_04]: but they truly didn't want what actual revival is and to live out the Bible, you know, Jesus and His disciples, they traveled.

  116. [SPEAKER_04]: They went from town to town, preaching the Word and the disciples baptized and, you know, this was the great commission, but yet so many people don't want the great commission, they want it kept in four walls.

  117. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I was sort of nervous to ask him, hey, do you want to join my on the road, travel and revival?

  118. [SPEAKER_04]: And so the next Sunday I actually got my husband and my kids and we all went to church and I sat there and I'm like, I'm gonna do it.

  119. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna go up to him after service and I'm gonna ask him.

  120. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I did after service.

  121. [SPEAKER_04]: He wasn't preaching that Sunday but he was still there and so after service I walked up to him and I said, hey, I have a big revival coming up and I said, would you please come and be the pastor for it?

  122. [SPEAKER_04]: And so he gets his little calendar out he pulls that out of his pocket.

  123. [SPEAKER_04]: It is like for those little little whip calendar, which I love.

  124. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, most people these days are pulling out an iPhone and giving you their schedule, but it would pulls out this handheld calendar.

  125. [SPEAKER_04]: And he looks in the days clear and he says, well, if you want me to be there, I'll be there.

  126. [SPEAKER_04]: And this was the first real revival we had.

  127. [SPEAKER_04]: We had worship music.

  128. [SPEAKER_04]: We had Pastor Elwood preaching.

  129. [SPEAKER_04]: Then he got in the water with no waiters.

  130. [SPEAKER_04]: We had about four hundred baptisms that day.

  131. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it was truly a revival that, you know, we had never seen.

  132. [SPEAKER_04]: We had never seen the likes of Pastor Elwood.

  133. [SPEAKER_04]: I guess you can take it from here.

  134. [SPEAKER_04]: How is your first revival?

  135. [SPEAKER_06]: That first revival was something else.

  136. [SPEAKER_06]: And ever since the day that you asked me to be there, I was looking forward to it.

  137. [SPEAKER_06]: I was really looking forward to it because you said it's under a tent out in the field someplace.

  138. [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be baptism.

  139. [SPEAKER_06]: So I was looking forward to it.

  140. [SPEAKER_06]: I even told the guys that were trying to get them to come and some of them said they would.

  141. [SPEAKER_06]: But none of them came.

  142. [SPEAKER_06]: But anyway, when I pulled up in that field,

  143. [SPEAKER_06]: and I looked and seen all the cars and you can see the people standing in line beside the creek there.

  144. [SPEAKER_06]: I think when I walked in there under the tent you was in there.

  145. [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to tell Mama Stay Gage.

  146. [SPEAKER_06]: You was in there and you had that young man

  147. [SPEAKER_06]: wherever he was from singing there.

  148. [SPEAKER_06]: And after you got done talking and praying and everything, you said that I'll meet you in the water.

  149. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm getting a lot of waiters on.

  150. [SPEAKER_06]: And all of a sudden, everybody under the tent just rushed out there like a curvy a quail.

  151. [SPEAKER_06]: And I thought, for what's used to me doing here?

  152. [SPEAKER_06]: No, but just so happened.

  153. [SPEAKER_06]: And all the people, they came back around the back around the side of the tent.

  154. [SPEAKER_06]: A lot of them came back in and set down.

  155. [SPEAKER_06]: And they listened.

  156. [SPEAKER_06]: They didn't have a choice.

  157. [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, you know, there's going to be bad times, but I thought, my goodness, what is happening?

  158. [SPEAKER_06]: Here you have got people lined up and then, hey, for a pre-serie, well, I got in the water with no waiters, which, you know, I was just going into the water and baptized them one, two.

  159. [SPEAKER_06]: I had never been in our stay-all day, and the water was cold.

  160. [SPEAKER_04]: It was cold.

  161. [SPEAKER_06]: It would rain, never down there.

  162. [SPEAKER_06]: I was freezing to death.

  163. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I finally got out and went over and sit down and got me a snack and came back and I was standing on the bank.

  164. [SPEAKER_06]: And you got out and you came up and you said now, what?

  165. [SPEAKER_06]: So you said the Lord has called us and do this and this is what we're going to do.

  166. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you thought I was going to leave or what, you know, I don't know.

  167. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I got back in the water and I was shaking so bad.

  168. [SPEAKER_06]: Chairs.

  169. [SPEAKER_06]: Chairs came out there with a hoodie and said, here, put this on your freezing me to death, you know, but it was up in

  170. [SPEAKER_06]: late evening when all this ended that night.

  171. [SPEAKER_06]: I had my self-atime.

  172. [SPEAKER_06]: I really did.

  173. [SPEAKER_06]: The Lord blessed that day the people came out there, victorious, and I've never seen people so hungry for the word and to be baptized, you know, to get on track for eternal life.

  174. [SPEAKER_06]: And so these people were hungry, and I'm telling you why that will be forever-scastened my mind.

  175. [SPEAKER_06]: of that first temporary Bible over in Lexington by a creek bank.

  176. [SPEAKER_06]: They all just keep getting better and better.

  177. [SPEAKER_06]: Better and better.

  178. [SPEAKER_04]: They do.

  179. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, they do.

  180. [SPEAKER_04]: Each one we grow.

  181. [SPEAKER_04]: So we grow in spiritual strength, spiritual authority in Jesus Christ.

  182. [SPEAKER_04]: We know and we don't have reservations or doubts.

  183. [SPEAKER_04]: We just see what God can do.

  184. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we have a say in our ministry that I've seen too much.

  185. [SPEAKER_04]: And we have, we've seen too much.

  186. [SPEAKER_04]: We've seen countless amounts of healings and deliverance and just stuff that no one would ever be able to sit down and explain.

  187. [SPEAKER_04]: But we've seen it.

  188. [SPEAKER_04]: We have been privileged enough to see it firsthand and see how God can move in someone's life.

  189. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember getting out and scold me a little bit because you know, at that time, I had never gotten out of the water.

  190. [SPEAKER_04]: At none of my events had I gotten out of the water.

  191. [SPEAKER_04]: And I think in Lexington, I got out one time and apparently it was the tail film to get back in the water.

  192. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know I remember it was it was cold and it was like he said it was raining on and off and it was you know all the elements of how strong are you how much do you want this how much do you want to work for the Lord will you prove that you do want to work that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ and so you know that's always been a thing in my mind was that I would just plant my feet no matter what and

  193. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, so many things go through your mind while you're out there because you are, you're dying to your flesh.

  194. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, you're not thinking of the fleshly things.

  195. [SPEAKER_04]: Am I hungry?

  196. [SPEAKER_04]: Do I need to use the bathroom?

  197. [SPEAKER_04]: How cold am I?

  198. [SPEAKER_04]: Can't film a toes?

  199. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, those things, they come to your mind every now and then, but you have to die to them.

  200. [SPEAKER_04]: You have to suppress them.

  201. [SPEAKER_04]: You have to say, no, I'm living in my spirit.

  202. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm being a vessel for the Lord.

  203. [SPEAKER_04]: And those who stick with me and those who have stayed in this ministry, it's so massive to me because they have answered the calling like I have to be disciples of Jesus Christ to go and prepare the way like John the Baptist did.

  204. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's what we're out here doing.

  205. [SPEAKER_04]: Then such a beautiful transition of just being able to have this team and being able to trust each other and to grow in Christ like we are the body of Christ and we've been able to truly rely on each other, truly depend on each other.

  206. [SPEAKER_04]: And so from there, you know, I had a few more revivals that Edward was not attending because he had other plans on his little calendar.

  207. [SPEAKER_04]: And I gave him a hard time about it the whole time.

  208. [SPEAKER_04]: We came home from North Carolina and he was just heartbroken that he couldn't go.

  209. [SPEAKER_06]: I missed one in Missouri, one in Ohio, and the one in North Carolina.

  210. [SPEAKER_06]: And I think the next one was it in Colorado.

  211. [SPEAKER_04]: Yep, the next is Colorado because I remember thinking there was no way you would go.

  212. [SPEAKER_04]: I thought there is no way he would want to go to Colorado.

  213. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's so far and we all had to fly there and you know, that was my first revival to have with Rose, the very first person I baptized.

  214. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I thought there is no way he's going to want to come to Colorado and I will never forget.

  215. [SPEAKER_04]: He text me y'all first of all.

  216. [SPEAKER_04]: He's not big on texting.

  217. [SPEAKER_04]: Even though he is team I phone now.

  218. [SPEAKER_04]: He texted, and he said, I want to go to Colorado.

  219. [SPEAKER_04]: And I read that and I said, no kid, and he wants to go.

  220. [SPEAKER_04]: It's I booked him a flight, but he had never been to Colorado.

  221. [SPEAKER_04]: It was a beautiful trip.

  222. [SPEAKER_04]: As soon as we landed, we saw like, I think there was three rainbows that I saw there that God, I knew God sent me.

  223. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, I got to fellowship with Rosa Lot, got to have a lot of fellowship with my team.

  224. [SPEAKER_04]: We had about probably ten of us, you'd say, from

  225. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I took some of our team that showed up in Colorado and all of us just had the best fellowship in our little townhouse.

  226. [SPEAKER_04]: That was when I first heard about your wife.

  227. [SPEAKER_04]: I had known I had known about your wife but I first heard that she was sick.

  228. [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know she was sick and we were all sitting there.

  229. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said, Elwood, what about your wife?

  230. [SPEAKER_04]: She thought about coming to these revivals.

  231. [SPEAKER_04]: And he says, she's sick.

  232. [SPEAKER_04]: She had been sick for fifteen years.

  233. [SPEAKER_04]: And he said, you know, I won't more than anything for that girl to be healed.

  234. [SPEAKER_04]: I would just feel a little bit of sorrow every now and then from Elwood.

  235. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, where's that coming from?

  236. [SPEAKER_04]: And I felt it too.

  237. [SPEAKER_04]: And I knew it was his wife.

  238. [SPEAKER_04]: I knew that it was his heart's desire.

  239. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, because when we're in the water, God shows us different things.

  240. [SPEAKER_04]: But I knew it was his heart's desire, you know, for his wife to be healed.

  241. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I said, well, tell me a little bit about her.

  242. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, he's telling me about Deb and it's so funny, because the picture that I painted of Deb is not how Deb is.

  243. [SPEAKER_04]: I painted a picture of like a little old lady that's just like petite and like very dainty you know and because she's just he's talking about her and she sounded you know she sounded at the time fragile because she had been six o'clock and um anyways we come home from Colorado

  244. [SPEAKER_04]: And I had made up my mind that I was going to pray over her and I knew it, I had already saw it in a vision and I knew I'd pray over her.

  245. [SPEAKER_04]: But my time, my time has been so limited because I edit, you know, all my videos, I record them, I edit them, you know, it's just me and my husband out here.

  246. [SPEAKER_04]: We don't have a big production team, even still.

  247. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I do spend a lot of time in my office working on content.

  248. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we came home.

  249. [SPEAKER_04]: And it would call it one day.

  250. [SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't very long after Colorado.

  251. [SPEAKER_04]: He called and he said, can I bring her over?

  252. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said, absolutely.

  253. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was so excited to meet Deb.

  254. [SPEAKER_04]: And here she comes.

  255. [SPEAKER_04]: Deb comes in the house and she sits on the couch.

  256. [SPEAKER_04]: She is like I said, nothing like I thought she'd be.

  257. [SPEAKER_04]: Deb is so witty.

  258. [SPEAKER_04]: She is so she gives him the hardest time.

  259. [SPEAKER_04]: And it is the most hilarious conversations you will ever hear.

  260. [SPEAKER_04]: Him and her just back and forth is just, it makes my day sometimes at Elwood's expense.

  261. [SPEAKER_04]: But anyways, they're just so, they're so in love still after so many years.

  262. [SPEAKER_04]: She is strong and she is fierce and she will tell you like it is.

  263. [SPEAKER_04]: There is no sugar coating with them.

  264. [SPEAKER_04]: And I love that about her.

  265. [SPEAKER_04]: I love that she's so truthful and just, you know, very, very anchored in the Lord.

  266. [SPEAKER_04]: And so she came in the house and she sat on the couch and you know, we're just starting to talk and Elwood and Walt come out here on the porch where we're sitting.

  267. [SPEAKER_04]: Elwood and Walt come out here and they're talking and the Lord says, now I'm like, okay, I'm like, Miss Deb, can I pray over you?

  268. [SPEAKER_04]: And I prayed over her like I would somebody in the water.

  269. [SPEAKER_04]: The Holy Spirit came over both of us and we had cold chills those holy spirit goose bumps just everywhere.

  270. [SPEAKER_04]: and I prayed so fiercely, break and change all the way back to childhood, just continue into just pray, everything that God, you know, put in my mind and she was healed.

  271. [SPEAKER_04]: She was healed and she got up and I remember we end up walking to the barn and Elwood just like, you know, just mind-blown that she's walking and I'm just like, what are you doing?

  272. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, because he I'd never met Deb before then.

  273. [SPEAKER_04]: So in my mind, I didn't know she couldn't walk to the barn.

  274. [SPEAKER_04]: and she we walk to the barn and he's just he's like you don't understand she she can't walk down three steps like you you know and here she is walking to the barn and

  275. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, from there, I feel like that was a pivotal moment in both of our journeys just to really increase our faith, you know, and increase my faith in praying and seeing the sick healed.

  276. [SPEAKER_04]: And it increased his faith and seeing that no matter how long this long suffering, this, you know, no matter how long it's been that someone can be touched by God in the moment that you got to have the faith.

  277. [SPEAKER_04]: And so in that moment, it changed all of our lives dramatically.

  278. [SPEAKER_04]: And so from there, I'll let you take that one over and tell me how, from your perspective, what a

  279. [SPEAKER_04]: And what comes after that?

  280. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll tell you what, Deb, she hasn't stopped.

  281. [SPEAKER_06]: She gets tired, but she hasn't stopped and she's loved going to these revivals sitting there and filling out the baptism certificates and it has changed her because she looks forward to them.

  282. [SPEAKER_06]: Now she's getting out of the house, she's moving and so she's just having a ball and

  283. [SPEAKER_06]: which it comes from her mother, her mother loved being around people and soldiers dead.

  284. [SPEAKER_06]: And so it has changed dramatically her life.

  285. [SPEAKER_06]: And God, you know, I prayed and prayed and prayed and I've left notes on the wall, computer and everything else for God's going to heal her, you know, and go on and off to work.

  286. [SPEAKER_06]: But it didn't happen.

  287. [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe it only happened when I got her out here.

  288. [SPEAKER_06]: I got her out here.

  289. [SPEAKER_06]: And then things really turned around.

  290. [SPEAKER_06]: It really turned around.

  291. [SPEAKER_06]: And so our life has been better.

  292. [SPEAKER_06]: We still, you know, go backwards and forwards and one another.

  293. [SPEAKER_06]: Like her husband and wife does.

  294. [SPEAKER_06]: But that's just... You mean she roast you?

  295. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he's saying.

  296. [SPEAKER_06]: That's just a nature of things.

  297. [SPEAKER_06]: But anyway,

  298. [SPEAKER_06]: I couldn't ask for anything more and the Lord has blessed us and so I'll tell you what she is just she's she's a light my high school squeeze sweet heart and here we are in September we've been married fifty years and

  299. [SPEAKER_06]: That's a long spell.

  300. [SPEAKER_06]: But you look back on life and it seems like it's been so short.

  301. [SPEAKER_06]: But these revivals have just taken us places that we've never been before.

  302. [SPEAKER_06]: Seeing people that we've never seen before and meeting different people from all over the world.

  303. [SPEAKER_06]: And that's the way God does.

  304. [SPEAKER_06]: You'll just turn your world upside down if you're letting.

  305. [SPEAKER_06]: If you're letting.

  306. [SPEAKER_06]: And I am so thankful that I called that day and brought her out here.

  307. [SPEAKER_06]: And so when we left and went home, we were just smiling like a possum, all the way to the house.

  308. [SPEAKER_06]: So God has truly, truly intervened in her life because she was for the last fifteen years.

  309. [SPEAKER_06]: She was just sort of homebound.

  310. [SPEAKER_06]: couldn't get out, couldn't go no place except maybe as a doctor or whatever, and then that was a struggle.

  311. [SPEAKER_06]: And now, you know, she just, we get ready for these revivals.

  312. [SPEAKER_06]: She just ready to go.

  313. [SPEAKER_04]: She's ready to not come back.

  314. [SPEAKER_04]: She's ready to be on the road.

  315. [SPEAKER_04]: She's one of the few out of all of us.

  316. [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, I don't even want to go home.

  317. [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go to the next year.

  318. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we're like, can we have two weeks, Deb?

  319. [SPEAKER_05]: That's exactly what she's like.

  320. [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.

  321. [SPEAKER_04]: She just got back from our big trip.

  322. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we drove thirty-one hours all together.

  323. [SPEAKER_04]: Caravan and it across the whole country.

  324. [SPEAKER_04]: And Deb was right there with us.

  325. [SPEAKER_04]: So it truly is a testament of what God can do in your life because you know, you just can't ever give up.

  326. [SPEAKER_04]: Like there's so many times the enemy tries to come and steal kill and destroy and he tries to put you down.

  327. [SPEAKER_04]: And just like he said how much she loves the people, then isn't it just like the enemy to isolate her?

  328. [SPEAKER_04]: to keep her homebound.

  329. [SPEAKER_04]: But now, you know, now she has life back because that's what Jesus does.

  330. [SPEAKER_04]: He comes to give you life and give it abundantly.

  331. [SPEAKER_04]: And especially has an abundant life.

  332. [SPEAKER_04]: And we're just blessed by her presence.

  333. [SPEAKER_04]: We're blessed by every time she roast Elwood in front of us and makes us laugh.

  334. [SPEAKER_04]: And we're just blessed that she continues to, you know, go on these road trips with us from there.

  335. [SPEAKER_04]: Let's see, where do we go after Colorado?

  336. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my, we did we go after Colorado.

  337. [SPEAKER_04]: Carl, we went back to Kentucky.

  338. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, we went back to Kentucky after that because that was we had about four hundred people.

  339. [SPEAKER_04]: I think we baptized three.

  340. [SPEAKER_04]: It was like three or four people there.

  341. [SPEAKER_04]: We had a rainbow there as well.

  342. [SPEAKER_04]: So we went a few more states.

  343. [SPEAKER_04]: We had a couple more revivals in between.

  344. [SPEAKER_04]: Lots of people saved, people baptized, people delivered.

  345. [SPEAKER_04]: In all this time, God's just increasing.

  346. [SPEAKER_04]: He's increasing everything.

  347. [SPEAKER_04]: He's increasing the crowds.

  348. [SPEAKER_04]: He's increasing our faith.

  349. [SPEAKER_04]: He's increasing everything.

  350. [SPEAKER_04]: As we're seeing things happen and unfold, we're starting to raise up baptizers, training and discipling our crew.

  351. [SPEAKER_04]: And so much is happening with our revival through these times of building stronger and just going forth and continuing to go as God sends us out.

  352. [SPEAKER_04]: And so then we'll skip right along to Texas.

  353. [SPEAKER_04]: Because here we are.

  354. [SPEAKER_04]: We're coming up on our one-year mark of Texas and we're going back.

  355. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  356. [SPEAKER_04]: We're going back to Texas to the same location.

  357. [SPEAKER_04]: And so let's talk about Texas because Texas who there's actually a moment in Texas that relives in my memory all the time.

  358. [SPEAKER_04]: And anytime I need to draw strength, I draw strength from this memory.

  359. [SPEAKER_04]: of Elwood and I after all day long of baptizing you know at this point we hadn't really made pods of people before we hadn't had any other baptizers but now it's time the increases here it's time to make more baptizers and so we did and so in Texas we had several pods of baptizers people that had been trained up for this Helena and Michael and Bevin and people that had been with me since the very beginning they raised up into their purpose and they started baptizing and so Elwood was right along with them yeah

  360. [SPEAKER_04]: And so all of us was baptized and we had several pods of people baptized.

  361. [SPEAKER_04]: And here it come.

  362. [SPEAKER_04]: We had two lines at the time.

  363. [SPEAKER_04]: And one line was my line.

  364. [SPEAKER_04]: My line never moved.

  365. [SPEAKER_04]: It was pretty much.

  366. [SPEAKER_04]: If I got out of the water, then it stopped completely.

  367. [SPEAKER_04]: So I had to stay there and just, you know, put my head down and go.

  368. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I was baptized in majority of the people.

  369. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it come time for nighttime, nighttime fail.

  370. [SPEAKER_04]: The whole day we had been fighting waves.

  371. [SPEAKER_04]: We had fighting the cold, so many things.

  372. [SPEAKER_04]: So many, you know, elemental factors that we were fighting.

  373. [SPEAKER_04]: And that was a moment towards the very, we had one more last leg of the night.

  374. [SPEAKER_04]: There are still probably thirty, forty people needed to be baptized.

  375. [SPEAKER_04]: And I come out and I use the restroom and we were trying to eat a little bit of soup.

  376. [SPEAKER_04]: And Elwood and I just hugged each other and sobbed like baby.

  377. [SPEAKER_04]: We were crying so hard.

  378. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, we were hurting.

  379. [SPEAKER_04]: Like our whole body was hurting.

  380. [SPEAKER_04]: We was out of the water, which means we was out of our spirit.

  381. [SPEAKER_04]: We were back in our flesh very much so.

  382. [SPEAKER_04]: feeling all of the pain that came with what had happened that day.

  383. [SPEAKER_04]: We went to battle and we felt the battle pains.

  384. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we're standing there in that kitchen and you know, walt and chas and a couple other people are sitting around the counter there.

  385. [SPEAKER_04]: And they're crying, watch us cry.

  386. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's just a big crawfish.

  387. [SPEAKER_04]: But we were just hugging each other and I remember saying, I mean, the Lord put it in my heart so deeply too, but I said,

  388. [SPEAKER_04]: He broke his body for us.

  389. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we're breaking our body for him.

  390. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, look what Jesus did.

  391. [SPEAKER_04]: Look what he did for us.

  392. [SPEAKER_04]: We can stay out here.

  393. [SPEAKER_04]: We can get back in, sort of like the first Kentucky revival when I kind of told you, let's go, Elwood.

  394. [SPEAKER_04]: That was sort of the same moment.

  395. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said, we got this.

  396. [SPEAKER_04]: We have this.

  397. [SPEAKER_04]: So we did.

  398. [SPEAKER_04]: We got back into water.

  399. [SPEAKER_04]: We finished her up.

  400. [SPEAKER_04]: and Elwood gave one of the most inspiring speeches I've ever heard towards the end of that one because he was on the last leg.

  401. [SPEAKER_04]: We were both hurt and we were pushing through and he gave such an inspiring message that just pushed us through the night.

  402. [SPEAKER_04]: So here it was about midnight when we crawled out of the water and collapsed, let me tell you.

  403. [SPEAKER_04]: We slept so much that night and when we woke up in the morning I was still rocking from those waves.

  404. [SPEAKER_04]: It took me like three days, I would just be like rocking from the waves.

  405. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it was definitely, it was a hard, it was trials, but you know, like I said so many times, all of this builds us, like every time that we would go through our hardest times, that we've ever faced, God would see us through, and not only that, he would build a stronger.

  406. [SPEAKER_04]: So let's hear Elwoods take away from Texas.

  407. [SPEAKER_06]: You know, Texas was something else.

  408. [SPEAKER_06]: As you said, that those waves hammered us all day long.

  409. [SPEAKER_06]: And we still stayed right there.

  410. [SPEAKER_06]: And like I said, coming out of that last leg at night.

  411. [SPEAKER_06]: And I was hurting so bad on my left side.

  412. [SPEAKER_06]: And that's the side that were ahead the tumor on the kidney and they taken it out.

  413. [SPEAKER_06]: And I was hurting so bad.

  414. [SPEAKER_06]: And I just, it would just hurt to walk.

  415. [SPEAKER_06]: And so we got up there.

  416. [SPEAKER_06]: And like you said, we got a little soup, but I was still hurting just standing up.

  417. [SPEAKER_06]: You was hurting.

  418. [SPEAKER_06]: And like you said, we just hugged one another and cried.

  419. [SPEAKER_06]: And I said, there's so many.

  420. [SPEAKER_06]: There is still people that were just so many.

  421. [SPEAKER_06]: And I didn't know if I could get back in it.

  422. [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't know if I could get back in the water that night.

  423. [SPEAKER_06]: But to the help of the Holy Spirit, we got back into water.

  424. [SPEAKER_06]: And then I think it was only your line that people were waiting for.

  425. [SPEAKER_06]: And they just kept telling me, get out of it, get out.

  426. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I finally did.

  427. [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't want to because when you come, rads is in the battle, you won't stay there with them, you know?

  428. [SPEAKER_06]: But I did.

  429. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I just went up and picked up my Bible.

  430. [SPEAKER_06]: And I think I preached on a little lady with the issue of blood, which she pressed on.

  431. [SPEAKER_04]: Press and on.

  432. [SPEAKER_04]: That was it?

  433. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, press on.

  434. [SPEAKER_06]: And that was what we was doing that night.

  435. [SPEAKER_06]: We were pressing on.

  436. [SPEAKER_06]: And there was nothing easy about it.

  437. [SPEAKER_06]: And just as Oprah the Paul said, I pressed toward the high market God in Christ Jesus, it was an easy for him either.

  438. [SPEAKER_06]: When you look back on his life, but it was not easy, but it was fulfilling that night when the last person was baptized and it was everything was shutting down.

  439. [SPEAKER_06]: And then when everything's just down, you're just ready for it to go on.

  440. [SPEAKER_06]: You know, you don't want it to stop.

  441. [SPEAKER_06]: But Texas was a hard one.

  442. [SPEAKER_06]: Texas the Kentucky was a hard one for me and Texas was a hardest one and through that pain.

  443. [SPEAKER_06]: But we pushed on through and you know God didn't say it's going to be all rosey and popping up poses.

  444. [SPEAKER_06]: He did not say that.

  445. [SPEAKER_06]: And so we got to press on.

  446. [SPEAKER_06]: And if we'll press on, God will be right there.

  447. [SPEAKER_06]: Jesus said, I'll never leave you in the forsake, you know?

  448. [SPEAKER_06]: So he'll be right there with you.

  449. [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm sort of anxious to get back to Texas.

  450. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm feeling good.

  451. [SPEAKER_06]: I ain't got no pain now.

  452. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm sort of anxious to get back down there and see all those beautiful people.

  453. [SPEAKER_06]: And I look for this time that both just be lined up after watching the baptized as baptized people because the boat was out there last time.

  454. [SPEAKER_04]: in the man with his hands raised.

  455. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, for hours.

  456. [SPEAKER_06]: We'll fight through whatever we have to fight through because we've got to.

  457. [SPEAKER_06]: Too many people hurting too many people has got problems and they need to bury that stuff in that watery grave.

  458. [SPEAKER_06]: and come out there victorious.

  459. [SPEAKER_06]: And when they come out there victorious and shouting and praising Lord, I'm telling you, I just shall smiles across the face.

  460. [SPEAKER_06]: And you just love it.

  461. [SPEAKER_06]: We want to see everybody that we possibly can.

  462. [SPEAKER_06]: No matter who they are, no matter who they come from.

  463. [SPEAKER_06]: Amen.

  464. [SPEAKER_06]: To get them to Jesus Christ.

  465. [SPEAKER_04]: The amount of testimonies that we get now, I have folders.

  466. [SPEAKER_04]: I have folders of testimonies where I'll just screenshot, you know, when someone sends me their testimony.

  467. [SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, if I ever have the hard times of feeling weary,

  468. [SPEAKER_04]: for like feeling you know discouraged or anything like that then I'll go through that folder of testimonies and I'll see the loves changed and I'll see how many people were delivered and healed and their lives today and I'll say how could I not how could we not get back in that water whenever we're seeing these kind of outcomes when God can work through a person so powerfully how could you not be that vessel

  469. [SPEAKER_04]: And I think that's what lacks so much in our world is that so many people won't surrender to that point.

  470. [SPEAKER_04]: They won't surrender themselves to the point of going out there and doing the will of the Lord.

  471. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not our will.

  472. [SPEAKER_04]: It's his will.

  473. [SPEAKER_04]: People pray that all the time.

  474. [SPEAKER_04]: They pray to be used.

  475. [SPEAKER_04]: They pray to be in service for the Lord, but they want the small portion of it.

  476. [SPEAKER_04]: They don't want to pick up the cross.

  477. [SPEAKER_04]: When you pick up your cross, that thing's heavy.

  478. [SPEAKER_04]: It is heavy.

  479. [SPEAKER_04]: It is not easy.

  480. [SPEAKER_04]: You just spoke about the life of Paul.

  481. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, we see Paul in the Bible.

  482. [SPEAKER_04]: Paul was shipwrecked.

  483. [SPEAKER_04]: He was beaten.

  484. [SPEAKER_04]: He was thrown in prison.

  485. [SPEAKER_04]: He was bitten by snakes.

  486. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  487. [SPEAKER_04]: Paul had so much happened to him.

  488. [SPEAKER_04]: But did he, he stayed the course.

  489. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, did he revert from the course?

  490. [SPEAKER_04]: No.

  491. [SPEAKER_04]: He didn't pull a Jonah.

  492. [SPEAKER_04]: He didn't turn away.

  493. [SPEAKER_04]: He didn't go away.

  494. [SPEAKER_04]: He went straight forward.

  495. [SPEAKER_04]: He kept pressing on.

  496. [SPEAKER_04]: He kept going towards the calls.

  497. [SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, we take that in account to our ministry, too, where it's like, you know, if he can do it, we can do it.

  498. [SPEAKER_04]: The Lord set him on the same sort of commission to go there for just like Matthew twenty eight nineteen.

  499. [SPEAKER_04]: Go there for make disciples of all nations baptizing them.

  500. [SPEAKER_04]: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them my commands.

  501. [SPEAKER_04]: And that is what we do.

  502. [SPEAKER_04]: And we say all the time that we see the Bible come to life because that's the truth.

  503. [SPEAKER_04]: We see the words on this pages come to life.

  504. [SPEAKER_04]: Like we see the things happening directly before us.

  505. [SPEAKER_04]: We see deliverances.

  506. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know the first time I had somebody flopped on me, like lay all the way out in the water.

  507. [SPEAKER_04]: It was such a heavy deliverance that she passed all the way out.

  508. [SPEAKER_04]: And it was just like that Bible verse where it talks about the demon being cast out and the boy ends up looking lifeless and they're like as he did.

  509. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I saw that moment and I'm like, oh my, this is exactly like that Bible passage.

  510. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we do see so many instances in revival of moments where these things are coming to life where we're seeing the exact scenario of what had happened in the Bible.

  511. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's right here.

  512. [SPEAKER_04]: and we're touching it and we're feeling it and we're seeing it.

  513. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's not just a storybook, it's real.

  514. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I think it's so important when explaining this revival to explain it in a way that shows you, hey, we are seeing the Bible come to life.

  515. [SPEAKER_04]: We are seeing people in multitudes from all over the world.

  516. [SPEAKER_04]: come to these revivals, repent and be baptized and have their entire lives changed.

  517. [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

  518. [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

  519. [SPEAKER_06]: And the thing is, they come from all over the world.

  520. [SPEAKER_06]: They're seeing something.

  521. [SPEAKER_06]: They're seeing something and not only they're seeing something, they're feeling something.

  522. [SPEAKER_06]: They can feel the spirit right through those videos and everything.

  523. [SPEAKER_06]: So he's speaking to their heart.

  524. [SPEAKER_06]: He's speaking to their lives and they're coming.

  525. [SPEAKER_06]: And so by the help of the Lord,

  526. [SPEAKER_06]: And through the Holy Spirit as he leads us and guide us, we're going to do everything we possibly can to get as many people to Christ as we possibly can.

  527. [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

  528. [SPEAKER_06]: And it's no time to back up.

  529. [SPEAKER_06]: We've done two scenes too much.

  530. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we don't seem too much.

  531. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, you said something that, uh, definitely we got a touch on.

  532. [SPEAKER_04]: So we started having people come from other countries in Texas.

  533. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

  534. [SPEAKER_04]: Texas, we baptized a lady from Poland.

  535. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

  536. [SPEAKER_04]: And I remember her getting there with that thick accent and kissing everybody on their faces and it was incredible to see, you know, people come from other places from other countries.

  537. [SPEAKER_04]: At this point, we were having people come from all over the United States, but now it was all over the world.

  538. [SPEAKER_04]: And so then we moved on to Florida and at Florida, that was Deb's first one.

  539. [SPEAKER_04]: Deb came to that one.

  540. [SPEAKER_04]: Those are first time writing those certificates and you know that woman never left the certificate table.

  541. [SPEAKER_04]: Just as long as we was in the water she was sitting there writing them certificates.

  542. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we had a lot of people show up to that one.

  543. [SPEAKER_04]: I think we baptized close to a thousand.

  544. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure the exact number, but it was close.

  545. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know rose showed up for that one too.

  546. [SPEAKER_04]: And so rose helped baptize at that one.

  547. [SPEAKER_04]: We had people from five different countries show up.

  548. [SPEAKER_04]: I had families from Poland.

  549. [SPEAKER_04]: I had a family from Australia.

  550. [SPEAKER_04]: Was it Australia?

  551. [SPEAKER_04]: I had some of my from Sweden.

  552. [SPEAKER_04]: But there was five different countries I know of that cane.

  553. [SPEAKER_04]: And so that blew our minds.

  554. [SPEAKER_04]: We came home just to talk about that.

  555. [SPEAKER_04]: And now it is a regular occurrence.

  556. [SPEAKER_04]: Now every revival we have people from all over the world.

  557. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's not a shock anymore.

  558. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's still beautiful though.

  559. [SPEAKER_04]: They walk in and they some of them can't even speak English.

  560. [SPEAKER_04]: like they are coming on faith alone.

  561. [SPEAKER_04]: And I think about, you know, in the, in the book of Acts where it talks about the, the pinnacles where all the apostles, you know, had the gift of tongues.

  562. [SPEAKER_04]: But it talks about them speaking and the people knowing it in their own language.

  563. [SPEAKER_04]: And so, you know, that's what I would pray.

  564. [SPEAKER_04]: As I was praying over these people, I'm like, Lord, let it be hitting their spirit.

  565. [SPEAKER_04]: Let them know exactly what I'm saying in their spirit.

  566. [SPEAKER_04]: Even if they can't understand, I don't believe words coming out my mouth.

  567. [SPEAKER_04]: And so in that happened so every single person you know when I when I'm home their hands and I'm praying they're crying and I know that it's hitting their spirit I know they're getting what they came for regardless if they can even understand me I think it's just so cool to see those moments of God being able to work through all circumstances no matter what no matter what religions and no matter what

  568. [SPEAKER_04]: uh... languages that he breaks all those barriers down and it comes down to the fundamental how he created you you know that he created you that he made you for a purpose and that he has plans to prosper you and not do you harm and when you all see that come together and you see the body of Christ and you see people standing in these lines for hours upon hours fellowship and love on each other exchanging numbers really really seeing what the body of Christ looks like and the early church looks like

  569. [SPEAKER_04]: I can't get all the words to tell you what it's like when you come to these revivals, but watching the Bible come to life right before your eyes and feeling it, feeling it in your bones and your spirit, feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit so strongly, there is nothing like it.

  570. [SPEAKER_06]: I absolutely not.

  571. [SPEAKER_06]: And the thing of it is they're called coming for the same thing.

  572. [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

  573. [SPEAKER_06]: They're all coming for the same thing to receive the same thing.

  574. [SPEAKER_06]: I think West Virginia had thirty thirty-five different states.

  575. [SPEAKER_06]: They wanted to experience it.

  576. [SPEAKER_06]: And that's the thing that people is coming for.

  577. [SPEAKER_06]: They want to experience the movement of the Holy Spirit in people's lives.

  578. [SPEAKER_06]: Because when they got there, you know, even in West Virginia, they said, we could felt the Holy Spirit for we ever got out of a car.

  579. [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

  580. [SPEAKER_06]: And you know, I tell you what, it's tangible.

  581. [SPEAKER_06]: It's just miraculous.

  582. [SPEAKER_06]: What God is doing in these revivals and baptisms.

  583. [SPEAKER_06]: And the thing of it is there's not a one of those individuals when they walk away from Mary is ashamed of what they've got.

  584. [SPEAKER_04]: No, no.

  585. [SPEAKER_06]: They're not a one.

  586. [SPEAKER_04]: Excited, ready to go, ready to tell it to the world.

  587. [SPEAKER_06]: That's exactly right.

  588. [SPEAKER_06]: And no doubt, they're going back and they're telling their coworkers, they're telling whoever they come and contact.

  589. [SPEAKER_06]: They're telling their churches.

  590. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.

  591. [SPEAKER_06]: And all the churches is begin to come out.

  592. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

  593. [SPEAKER_06]: Bring in their deacons and elders.

  594. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah.

  595. [SPEAKER_04]: We baptize the pastor in the next the very next day.

  596. [SPEAKER_04]: He brought his deacons and his elders.

  597. [SPEAKER_04]: We baptized all the ones.

  598. [SPEAKER_04]: He said, look at this.

  599. [SPEAKER_04]: This is the Bible, and now that church is on fire, they're having their own revival now.

  600. [SPEAKER_06]: Is that right?

  601. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

  602. [SPEAKER_04]: And then Indiana.

  603. [SPEAKER_04]: I guess we should move on.

  604. [SPEAKER_04]: Where was we at next?

  605. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, now we're in twenty twenty five.

  606. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  607. [SPEAKER_04]: So after Florida, that was twenty twenty four.

  608. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Florida was our last one of the of the year.

  609. [SPEAKER_04]: And then we moved on to, I think we took a month off.

  610. [SPEAKER_04]: We took January off.

  611. [SPEAKER_04]: We went to Georgia and

  612. [SPEAKER_04]: So it was sort of a challenge on all ways.

  613. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what it is.

  614. [SPEAKER_04]: I made a joke now because it wasn't funny then.

  615. [SPEAKER_04]: But I make the joke now that the devil went down to Georgia and stayed there because it was rough.

  616. [SPEAKER_04]: Georgia was rough.

  617. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what spiritual stronghold they got going on down there.

  618. [SPEAKER_04]: But this was the second time that I had had a revival in Georgia.

  619. [SPEAKER_04]: But this time it was heavy.

  620. [SPEAKER_04]: But we baptized.

  621. [SPEAKER_04]: We did what we came to do.

  622. [SPEAKER_04]: And then after Georgia we moved on to Alabama.

  623. [SPEAKER_03]: Alabama.

  624. [SPEAKER_04]: We went to Alabama and man, that place was beautiful, that big barn.

  625. [SPEAKER_04]: It was a big rustic barn for weddings there.

  626. [SPEAKER_04]: And we had, you know, that film of that man coming out of the water, Angie was there.

  627. [SPEAKER_04]: So Angie's a woman that travels all over the world.

  628. [SPEAKER_04]: Y'all probably seen her.

  629. [SPEAKER_04]: She has the long beautiful dreads.

  630. [SPEAKER_04]: And she goes over to lost tribes.

  631. [SPEAKER_04]: And she, you know, preaches the gospel to the lost.

  632. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Angie actually showed up to this one.

  633. [SPEAKER_04]: She did these interviews where she was, you know, recording people before they got in the water and after.

  634. [SPEAKER_04]: And this beautiful one happened where this man, I mean he was just so beautiful.

  635. [SPEAKER_04]: He was trying to explain what he had just encountered, and it was amazing.

  636. [SPEAKER_04]: But from there we moved on from Alabama to Oklahoma.

  637. [SPEAKER_04]: The first break when we came out of the water, I saw that line.

  638. [SPEAKER_04]: And that line started at this little pond and wrapped

  639. [SPEAKER_00]: all the way out the road.

  640. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean through the gates, like it was the longest line we've had yet.

  641. [SPEAKER_04]: It was massive line in Oklahoma.

  642. [SPEAKER_04]: And this time we were still training up and raising up disciples in our ministry to be baptized.

  643. [SPEAKER_04]: And I won't tell to know that we don't just pick anybody, truly believe that a person has to be called to do this and not only that, but they need to be walking in righteousness, they need to be walking as sanctified of journey as they can.

  644. [SPEAKER_04]: because that's where we're seeing the real stuff happen.

  645. [SPEAKER_04]: We're seeing people that are delivered and set free but it takes hands that are not only vessels but are prepared.

  646. [SPEAKER_04]: We raise up these disciples in our ministry and so we have an incredible team of baptizers now and we don't have very many of us.

  647. [SPEAKER_04]: There's about ten to twelve.

  648. [SPEAKER_04]: So there's not very many of us baptizers, but I tell you, we get the job done.

  649. [SPEAKER_04]: The Lord sends you to who exactly you need to go to.

  650. [SPEAKER_04]: We are here in so much goodness come from this and so many fruits.

  651. [SPEAKER_04]: But Oklahoma, man, the people showed up and they stayed for NATO warnings, was planning on people's phones.

  652. [SPEAKER_04]: And we set out there and we prayed that right away.

  653. [SPEAKER_04]: and that tornado siren stopped and everything like the storm you could watch it on the radar and the storm quite literally split and went around us like it was just everybody was in amazement of what God was doing and you know we're just standing there like we don't seem too much

  654. [SPEAKER_04]: We know our God can calm the storms.

  655. [SPEAKER_04]: We know our God can make this storms split.

  656. [SPEAKER_04]: But it was so cool to see the people and their reaction of watching this unfold.

  657. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, it's just like the Bible where it talks about Jesus and the disciples there in the boat.

  658. [SPEAKER_04]: And he's sleeping, you know, and they go to trouble the master, you know.

  659. [SPEAKER_00]: the right.

  660. [SPEAKER_04]: I preach as a sermon on trouble in the master about that.

  661. [SPEAKER_04]: But all the disciples, you know, they were scared.

  662. [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, you have little faith.

  663. [SPEAKER_04]: And he says, peace be still.

  664. [SPEAKER_04]: And he comes, comes those storms.

  665. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's what we saw come to fruition there in Oklahoma.

  666. [SPEAKER_04]: And so just to watch that and just to see God's power in every way.

  667. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, in every way possible right before our eyes was just incredible.

  668. [SPEAKER_04]: So what's your takeaways?

  669. [SPEAKER_04]: I just ran through several lovin.

  670. [SPEAKER_04]: But you got some takeaways.

  671. [SPEAKER_06]: Oklahoma.

  672. [SPEAKER_06]: Before we went out there, three days before we left for that, when I was on crutches.

  673. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yes!

  674. [SPEAKER_04]: I had a tell us your story of why.

  675. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I went to the mushroom woods to pick some mushrooms and I fell and there's a rock sticking out in it.

  676. [SPEAKER_06]: It's great my leg and I went all the way down and I thought I broke it.

  677. [SPEAKER_06]: And I rolled around those woods for probably an hour and I have trying to get up.

  678. [SPEAKER_06]: And I finally got up and I thought I could walk it off and I couldn't do it.

  679. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I called him.

  680. [SPEAKER_06]: I think I made a broke my leg.

  681. [SPEAKER_06]: And she called Walt and chairs.

  682. [SPEAKER_06]: They come up there and she was trying to help me.

  683. [SPEAKER_06]: But probably the way up, but they come on out there.

  684. [SPEAKER_06]: And I think Walt, he just stopped right there and he said, let's pray.

  685. [SPEAKER_06]: and the parade directors and they ended up carried me on out.

  686. [SPEAKER_06]: But anyway, I was on crushes for about two days, but you got where I just had to limp.

  687. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I went to Oklahoma and I preached about ten messages after I ever called a couldn't hardly get in the water.

  688. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'd go down in the middle of the field.

  689. [SPEAKER_06]: for these people would because it couldn't, probably couldn't hear too well about where we was on the way, the line wrapped around and everything.

  690. [SPEAKER_06]: And so I'd go down there in the middle of the field with them, you know.

  691. [SPEAKER_06]: But I think on the last day, I couldn't stand it no longer.

  692. [SPEAKER_06]: I had to get in.

  693. [SPEAKER_06]: I had to get in.

  694. [SPEAKER_06]: I know that folks didn't want me getting the water, but I just couldn't help myself.

  695. [SPEAKER_04]: I wanted you to.

  696. [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, let's go.

  697. [SPEAKER_06]: But we made it and we baptized fourteen hundred and eighty two people and Oklahoma and that was the biggest one at that time and I'll tell you what the landowners I don't think they could believe that many people showed up

  698. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, like you said, there's so many times that we've pressed on and that we've pushed through.

  699. [SPEAKER_04]: But this went to watch your leg be healed.

  700. [SPEAKER_04]: And to watch, you know, we really did think you broke your leg.

  701. [SPEAKER_04]: We live in our flesh and it's hard sometimes to push past every fleshly pain that you have and to get the job done because, you know, the circumstances around you may not look ideal.

  702. [SPEAKER_04]: They may not be the greatest.

  703. [SPEAKER_04]: But in pushing past those is just, it's brutal.

  704. [SPEAKER_04]: There's times where you don't think you're going to make it.

  705. [SPEAKER_04]: And you push past those times.

  706. [SPEAKER_04]: And that was one of them for Elwood, because he was on Cretace two days before.

  707. [SPEAKER_04]: And then here he is.

  708. [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, I'm gonna get in the water.

  709. [SPEAKER_04]: You were sitting up there with Walt.

  710. [SPEAKER_04]: Walt was buying the camera.

  711. [SPEAKER_04]: And you're sitting up there and I'd look up there, we're now in there and I'd see it in his eyes.

  712. [SPEAKER_04]: He was just like, get me in.

  713. [SPEAKER_04]: Tag me in coach.

  714. [SPEAKER_04]: He was ready.

  715. [SPEAKER_04]: And finally it was the second day, you know.

  716. [SPEAKER_04]: And everybody else, they tried to hide his waiters.

  717. [SPEAKER_04]: They were trying to keep them out of that water because we were concerned, you know, but well, they were concerned.

  718. [SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't because I knew he'd pushed past it all.

  719. [SPEAKER_04]: I finally said, it would come home.

  720. [SPEAKER_04]: We get on in the water.

  721. [SPEAKER_04]: And he was so happy.

  722. [SPEAKER_04]: He baptized a few people.

  723. [SPEAKER_04]: And he's just a smiling.

  724. [SPEAKER_04]: And even though he's pushing past that pain, he was just happy to be where the Lord had put him.

  725. [SPEAKER_04]: And just happy to be used, you know.

  726. [SPEAKER_04]: And so yeah, we moved on from Oklahoma.

  727. [SPEAKER_04]: And from Oklahoma, we went to Indiana.

  728. [SPEAKER_04]: We pulled up and it's an old camp.

  729. [SPEAKER_04]: Kind of like a Boy Scout camp, you know, sort of like bunks everywhere and not the greatest.

  730. [SPEAKER_04]: We probably should have slipped outside, but we

  731. [SPEAKER_04]: We've made up and did it anyway and, you know, we get there and we're all just piled in there.

  732. [SPEAKER_04]: Our whole team at this point, you know, we're worked up to seventy-two volunteers.

  733. [SPEAKER_04]: We have people on all fronts.

  734. [SPEAKER_04]: We have people on the land working, you know, people going through the line handing out waters and food and praying for people.

  735. [SPEAKER_04]: We have lineholders.

  736. [SPEAKER_04]: We have salvation pods.

  737. [SPEAKER_04]: We have worship team like now we are a massive revival.

  738. [SPEAKER_04]: We're getting an insane amount of people wanting to volunteer with our ministry.

  739. [SPEAKER_04]: And I understand because it's big and people are seeing it everywhere and they're like, how can we be involved?

  740. [SPEAKER_04]: And the sad thing is we can't have thousands of volunteers.

  741. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we only need so many hands for what we're doing until we keep increasing.

  742. [SPEAKER_04]: Then God will send us more.

  743. [SPEAKER_04]: But for now, we're pretty tacked out.

  744. [SPEAKER_04]: And so at this point,

  745. [SPEAKER_04]: We had people find other ways to help.

  746. [SPEAKER_04]: We had them start coming in with food.

  747. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, I don't allow any money exchange at our revivals.

  748. [SPEAKER_04]: None.

  749. [SPEAKER_04]: So when people come, if they're eaten, it's free as they, you know, get baptized, parking, every part of the revivals has to be free.

  750. [SPEAKER_04]: Or we ain't doing it.

  751. [SPEAKER_04]: And that has been from the very beginning.

  752. [SPEAKER_04]: And so, you know, we started seeing people with food trucks show up.

  753. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, I tell them right away, I'm like, if you're here, we love your service, but it is only service.

  754. [SPEAKER_04]: You were feeding the crowds, but they are not paying you.

  755. [SPEAKER_04]: My my god, I don't even want them to feel obligated with you know anything to pay for and so they they were they understood so Indiana was our first time having several vendors come a food.

  756. [SPEAKER_04]: So we had an ice cream truck.

  757. [SPEAKER_04]: We had I couldn't believe that we had ice cream truck.

  758. [SPEAKER_04]: We had like hamburgers and hot dogs I believe and maybe tacos I can't remember but it was a lot it was a fruit

  759. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we had several different and they just showed up and they were serving.

  760. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it was incredible for me to see that other people want to be involved in different ways that they're going to find ways, you know, because we have like all of our bubbles are donated.

  761. [SPEAKER_04]: So we would have people vote donate in the bubbles.

  762. [SPEAKER_04]: We'd have people donate in the food.

  763. [SPEAKER_04]: And so they were finding out ways to help because if God put it on their heart to help this ministry, they were going to find a way to do it.

  764. [SPEAKER_04]: And so this time was the first time to really see that in front of us to look at the land and see all these people coming to rallying together.

  765. [SPEAKER_04]: We baptized two thousand two hundred and eighty two people in Indiana the end of the night we really we just stood in the water instead of crawling out and like going back to our rooms and crying we all just like stood in the water just for joy seeing so it was beautiful

  766. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely, but, uh, man, I tell you what, uh, the box in there.

  767. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll never forget that night crash coming.

  768. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

  769. [SPEAKER_06]: I am in the chair.

  770. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll have to, I like to cry at them too.

  771. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we were stacked up like cordwood.

  772. [SPEAKER_06]: But it was a great time.

  773. [SPEAKER_06]: It's one of those times we'll never forget.

  774. [SPEAKER_04]: The septic system over flooded.

  775. [SPEAKER_04]: So we didn't have showers.

  776. [SPEAKER_04]: We didn't have potties.

  777. [SPEAKER_04]: We were truly roughing it out there.

  778. [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know we didn't care.

  779. [SPEAKER_04]: We didn't care one bit.

  780. [SPEAKER_04]: It humbled us in many ways.

  781. [SPEAKER_04]: We were able to truly feel like the disciples didn't like, you know what?

  782. [SPEAKER_04]: Are every one of us stink?

  783. [SPEAKER_04]: That's okay.

  784. [SPEAKER_04]: Every one of us have not shower.

  785. [SPEAKER_04]: But we were happy as could be.

  786. [SPEAKER_04]: We were rejoicing serving our Lord in Savior Jesus Christ.

  787. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it was beautiful to me.

  788. [SPEAKER_04]: I felt like those moments, you know, those moments are truly humbling.

  789. [SPEAKER_04]: They get you to the center of why you're doing this.

  790. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, the center of why you're doing it.

  791. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's for Jesus.

  792. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

  793. [SPEAKER_04]: So from Indiana, we moved on to Washington.

  794. [SPEAKER_04]: Our biggest longest fatherish trip yet.

  795. [SPEAKER_04]: And this was the mountain that we just, we looked at all year.

  796. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we knew it was coming.

  797. [SPEAKER_04]: And it was this mountain because we knew how far it was going to be.

  798. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, I almost booked our flights.

  799. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I had a moment where I had our flights all ready to go.

  800. [SPEAKER_04]: And the Lord told me, no.

  801. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh, man, are we driving?

  802. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, so I kept praying on it.

  803. [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, Lord,

  804. [SPEAKER_04]: How are we going to draft thirty one hours?

  805. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, like how how do we do this?

  806. [SPEAKER_04]: And I just kept praying on it and having faith.

  807. [SPEAKER_04]: And the Lord showed me that we were going to care of and it across the country.

  808. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said okay.

  809. [SPEAKER_04]: And so then I thought that we were going to do pop-ups.

  810. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I had had this on my heart for

  811. [SPEAKER_04]: who knows how long it would remember it had been six months or so of meat talking about pop ups and I would just I would say one if we could do a pop up but then I knew I'm like we number one we don't have very many crew with us because a lot of people were flying in they couldn't make the drives they still have jobs and you know it was retired so

  812. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we all, we all could go, but there was a lot of people that couldn't go.

  813. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I said, well, how do we do pop-ups when we don't have, you know, our crew?

  814. [SPEAKER_04]: Like, what do we, how do we do this?

  815. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I let the Lord lead, obviously, with everything we do.

  816. [SPEAKER_04]: And we all get in the vans and we have faith.

  817. [SPEAKER_04]: So we get in the vans, we go to our first destination, is in Wisconsin Dales.

  818. [SPEAKER_04]: I haven't on my heart to do the pop-ups there, but I couldn't figure it out.

  819. [SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't figure it out.

  820. [SPEAKER_04]: I was thinking how, if I put a flyer out like I typically do, then we could have a mass amount of people come in to be baptized and we could get stuck where we can't move on and we can't make it to our revival destination in Washington.

  821. [SPEAKER_04]: So I knew it wasn't possible to do it the way that I had been doing it.

  822. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I just can't pray in on it on my Lord.

  823. [SPEAKER_04]: You're gonna have to help me out with this.

  824. [SPEAKER_04]: So we move on from Wisconsin Dales and we drive to North Dakota.

  825. [SPEAKER_04]: We get to the badlands there and Elwood.

  826. [SPEAKER_04]: Elwood.

  827. [SPEAKER_04]: He spot some stairs going up the side of a mountain.

  828. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not talking about little stairs.

  829. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm talking about straight up and down stairs.

  830. [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, OK, Elwood says we're going to go climb those stairs.

  831. [SPEAKER_04]: He said, I want to climb that mountain.

  832. [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like,

  833. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, you know, and we're behind Elwood.

  834. [SPEAKER_04]: We're like, all right, we got you, let's do this.

  835. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we all get there, you know, Chaz is like, Chaz is like, nope, y'all are not thinking smartly.

  836. [SPEAKER_04]: We have revival in a week, and he's like, not doing it.

  837. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Chaz is trying to talk some sense into us, but we are not listening.

  838. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Elwood's like, we're going, and we're going, let's go.

  839. [SPEAKER_04]: I got some croxone, not prepared for this, could you have a pants?

  840. [SPEAKER_04]: But here we go.

  841. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we end up climbing that mountain.

  842. [SPEAKER_04]: It's me and you and Walt and Whalen and Boone and Michael.

  843. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  844. [SPEAKER_04]: And we all climb that mountain and let me tell you straight up and down, just runs and we get up to the top of that.

  845. [SPEAKER_04]: I can't breathe.

  846. [SPEAKER_04]: They're like, oh, the wild horses are up here and I'm like, don't care, trying to just, you know, trying to pray to God for breath of life, can't breathe.

  847. [SPEAKER_04]: But anyways, we get up there and there's wild horses and it's just so, so beautiful.

  848. [SPEAKER_04]: And I realized in the moment, okay, like, it would's up here, given a sermon to this cause.

  849. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's beautiful because he's in the moment showing us and teaching us, teaching us that in the moment that, you know, this was an obstacle.

  850. [SPEAKER_04]: It looked like this big test, but we were able to overcome.

  851. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, we were able to defeat it.

  852. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we're up there and we're watching the sunset and it's just beautiful.

  853. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we get climbing back down, like literally climbing back down and we get to the bottom of it.

  854. [SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, we feel accomplished.

  855. [SPEAKER_04]: We feel victorious.

  856. [SPEAKER_04]: we're already to go to battle.

  857. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we get back to the hotel room there and a lady has messaged me.

  858. [SPEAKER_04]: I had took a picture, put it on my Instagram stories, and the lady saw it and she messaged me and's like, are you in Medora?

  859. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  860. [SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, yep, I am, you know.

  861. [SPEAKER_04]: And at this point, you know, I knew I couldn't stay there like we had to move on, but she said, please baptize me.

  862. [SPEAKER_04]: And she said the churches, and I remember if something to do with money, the churches, she said, I don't have the money to do it.

  863. [SPEAKER_04]: And that made me want to flip a table.

  864. [SPEAKER_04]: I was so upset.

  865. [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, you shouldn't have to pay money to be baptized.

  866. [SPEAKER_04]: And so, you know, I'm talking back and forth with her.

  867. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we wake up the next morning, and I'm not going out with doors because we're in low hotel room at this point.

  868. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going as door.

  869. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said, you won't go baptized somebody.

  870. [SPEAKER_04]: He said, absolutely.

  871. [SPEAKER_04]: I keep ready to go right then.

  872. [SPEAKER_04]: We end up, uh, we're going baptized this lady.

  873. [SPEAKER_04]: And so at the moment, I still couldn't figure out how to baptize more people.

  874. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, there's no way that I'm able to stay if I was to put it out to the public.

  875. [SPEAKER_04]: Still trying to go through how to do this.

  876. [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, we were looking for water.

  877. [SPEAKER_04]: and we didn't know obviously we was not scouting and it's so funny because if you look at the places that we ended up baptizing at these pop-ups you would have thought that we'd plan the prettiest places in the whole state we had no idea we could have been baptizing in a mud hole we had no idea and this lady she says there's a campground down the road from your hotel I'll meet you there and I says well okay you know and so we get to that campground

  878. [SPEAKER_04]: It was the most beautiful place.

  879. [SPEAKER_04]: It had this big like we were in the part of the badlands.

  880. [SPEAKER_04]: The badlands was we were baptizing in the heart of the badlands.

  881. [SPEAKER_04]: The river cuts through like chocolate milk.

  882. [SPEAKER_04]: It's moody but it was so beautiful.

  883. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we baptized that woman.

  884. [SPEAKER_04]: I still keep in touch with her too.

  885. [SPEAKER_03]: She's awesome.

  886. [SPEAKER_04]: But I baptized her and after baptized in her we have our waiters off and we're at the car.

  887. [SPEAKER_04]: And this little old lady runs up.

  888. [SPEAKER_04]: And she says, I found out you were here.

  889. [SPEAKER_04]: And I left church.

  890. [SPEAKER_04]: I left my husband at church.

  891. [SPEAKER_04]: And I came here as fast as I could.

  892. [SPEAKER_04]: And she said, I just want to thank y'all.

  893. [SPEAKER_04]: She says, my daughter was healed of rheumatoid arthritis at your Oklahoma revival.

  894. [SPEAKER_04]: And she said, when I found out you were in this town, I had to find you.

  895. [SPEAKER_04]: The Lord was speaking to me.

  896. [SPEAKER_04]: And I knew, you know,

  897. [SPEAKER_04]: whatever she was going through that she needed deliverance from something in her life, that there was something that she needed help with from the Lord.

  898. [SPEAKER_04]: And I just looked right at her and I said, you want to be baptized?

  899. [SPEAKER_04]: And she's looking at me and she says, well, you're, your clothes are dry.

  900. [SPEAKER_04]: Like you just got out.

  901. [SPEAKER_04]: She was so worried about me.

  902. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I said, ma'am, I could put them waders right back on and get in that water.

  903. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said, what about you?

  904. [SPEAKER_04]: She said, why didn't you come prepared?

  905. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't have no clothes.

  906. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Chaz gets his daughter.

  907. [SPEAKER_04]: She has a brand new pair of leggings that his daughter has in the car.

  908. [SPEAKER_04]: And we're like, here you go, you know.

  909. [SPEAKER_04]: And she's just looking at us like, well, okay, she's like, well, there's no excuses.

  910. [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, but I can't ask you to do that.

  911. [SPEAKER_04]: I said, you did not ask me.

  912. [SPEAKER_04]: I asked you.

  913. [SPEAKER_04]: And so she, she's just all a mess crying and just

  914. [SPEAKER_04]: beautiful and her faith is just so beautiful.

  915. [SPEAKER_04]: And so in that moment she goes and changes in her car and comes and meets us in the water.

  916. [SPEAKER_04]: And I find out, you know, while I'm praying for her, I feel it.

  917. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, Holy Spirit speaks through us when we're in the water.

  918. [SPEAKER_04]: And we, you know, it's just, I can't, it's something I can't explain because it's all spiritual, but I felt that there was some cancer in her body.

  919. [SPEAKER_04]: And I reached up and I touched her jaw and she had told me that, you know, she was diagnosed and that there was, you know, jaw cancer and that she had just had scans and that she was going back next week for more scans.

  920. [SPEAKER_04]: So we were beefed that jaw cancer in the name of Jesus and we commanded that infirmity off of her and she was baptized.

  921. [SPEAKER_04]: She came up praising the Lord.

  922. [SPEAKER_04]: All her face was so beautiful.

  923. [SPEAKER_04]: She praised her Lord and Savior.

  924. [SPEAKER_04]: And do you know after we got home, I got a handwritten letter from that woman and she's healed.

  925. [SPEAKER_04]: hey man her scan came back completely normal and so I just talked to her yesterday I still talked to her as well and she just I love her and she's trying to get us back to North Dakota to do a big revival and so she she's all for it she's very excited and you know she she saw the move of God herself and and now she's ready for everybody around her to see it so anyways we move on from North Dakota

  926. [SPEAKER_04]: So we go on to Montana where we meet our Airbnb owner.

  927. [SPEAKER_04]: And that man had never been baptized.

  928. [SPEAKER_04]: So as I was explaining my testimony to him, well, he asked me if I had time to squeeze him in.

  929. [SPEAKER_04]: So we baptized our Airbnb owner.

  930. [SPEAKER_04]: And then as he was baptized, his beautiful daughter decided she wanted to be baptized too.

  931. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we made that happen in a spring fed horse trough.

  932. [SPEAKER_04]: So it was beautiful.

  933. [SPEAKER_04]: And from there, we woke up the next morning and said, let's do it again.

  934. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we figured out a way to where we could tell people where we were going to be at, but only limit it to a certain amount of people.

  935. [SPEAKER_04]: So we were looking at our messages for people who had message and asked us if we were ever coming to Montana.

  936. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we message those people and said, this is where we'll be tomorrow.

  937. [SPEAKER_04]: So the next day we had woke up and we baptized fifteen.

  938. [SPEAKER_04]: Seventeen people.

  939. [SPEAKER_05]: Seventeen people.

  940. [SPEAKER_04]: Something like that.

  941. [SPEAKER_04]: So we continued from there.

  942. [SPEAKER_04]: So this was a part of the trip that we had planned to be enjoyable because we knew that we were coming off of a thirty-one hour drive that we only had a few more hours to go until we were to our Washington destination.

  943. [SPEAKER_04]: So we wanted to stop at a hot springs.

  944. [SPEAKER_04]: We had never experienced it.

  945. [SPEAKER_04]: All these Kentucky hillbillies here go into the hot springs resort.

  946. [SPEAKER_04]: And it was fancy and it was beautiful.

  947. [SPEAKER_04]: And I ministered everybody in the hot springs.

  948. [SPEAKER_04]: but we had a time and Elwood got in the cold plunge and I stayed in the sulfur mineral pool and it was beautiful.

  949. [SPEAKER_04]: It was breast and relaxation but I had one lady that I had communicated with before and she asked me if I'd baptize her and I said absolutely.

  950. [SPEAKER_04]: So the next morning we woke up and we baptized her in the river and so she shows up and not only her but she worked at an assisted living facility.

  951. [SPEAKER_04]: and she busted out one of her patients and so the patient was there too with her oxygen machined and everything.

  952. [SPEAKER_04]: So we baptized the two of them and then we moved on to our final destination which was in Washington.

  953. [SPEAKER_04]: We baptized over a thousand.

  954. [SPEAKER_04]: It was our first time going to the West Coast.

  955. [SPEAKER_04]: And so it was beautiful.

  956. [SPEAKER_04]: The scenery was breathtaking.

  957. [SPEAKER_04]: We had eagles flying all around us.

  958. [SPEAKER_04]: So it was incredible experience.

  959. [SPEAKER_04]: We baptized on the Fourth of July.

  960. [SPEAKER_04]: And many, many people got there freedom.

  961. [SPEAKER_04]: And we will relive those memories of that big trip for the rest of our lives.

  962. [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

  963. [SPEAKER_04]: And from there, we went to our very last location, which was West Virginia.

  964. [SPEAKER_04]: When we went to West Virginia, let me tell you the town showed up.

  965. [SPEAKER_04]: There was churches from all over that showed up to support us.

  966. [SPEAKER_04]: And they were bringing us food.

  967. [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, at the time, we had prepared to feed about a thousand people, which that's a lot of mouths.

  968. [SPEAKER_04]: But just like the Bible scripture of the fishes and loaves, it multiplied and guess how many we fed.

  969. [SPEAKER_04]: five thousand so we fed five thousand people we had actual clickers so we knew that it was five thousand people had came through those gates to be at revival and every one of them left fed not just physically which they were physically full as they could get but also spiritually we had farmers that were showing up with trucks of cantaloupe

  970. [SPEAKER_04]: corn and all kinds of things, but it was just incredible to watch this town rally together and to bring everything that we needed.

  971. [SPEAKER_04]: God was working in the hearts of people all over, not only to come and be drawn to this revival, but those to come and help, those to come and supply food and then all of those to come and just partake.

  972. [SPEAKER_04]: We had one lady that walked on foot.

  973. [SPEAKER_04]: Do you remember her?

  974. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

  975. [SPEAKER_04]: She was from another country.

  976. [SPEAKER_04]: She flew, took a train, and then walked on foot just to come in and experience this revival.

  977. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we were just like, whoa, and we actually let her stay with us because she didn't even have a place to stay.

  978. [SPEAKER_04]: She just came because the Lord put it on her heart to do so.

  979. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we see that so often now where the Lord is just stirring the hearts of people all over the world.

  980. [SPEAKER_04]: to come and experience this revival, to come and watch him do this thing that has been exactly like the Bible shows, that is the Bible coming to life, for them to be a part of it, for them to fill it, for it to change their lives too.

  981. [SPEAKER_04]: So now here we go, and we are on our way to Texas, and the first year anniversary of going back to the same location in Texas, and what do you say or would, how many do you think we're going to baptize?

  982. [SPEAKER_06]: I think we're going to go probably around.

  983. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to say, twenty five hundred.

  984. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

  985. [SPEAKER_06]: Twenty five hundred.

  986. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

  987. [SPEAKER_06]: I believe that many will be will show up because they've seen too much last year.

  988. [SPEAKER_06]: The word is going out too far for not to be.

  989. [SPEAKER_06]: It could be more.

  990. [SPEAKER_06]: And that would be fantastic too, but it's going to be good.

  991. [SPEAKER_06]: Go back to Texas.

  992. [SPEAKER_06]: It got some memories there and we want to make some more.

  993. [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

  994. [SPEAKER_06]: And to see what God is going to do in people's life.

  995. [SPEAKER_06]: And to set them on fire, to go back to their churches, go back to their homes, go back to their factories, and tell what the Lord has done for them.

  996. [SPEAKER_06]: That is right.

  997. [SPEAKER_06]: And it will only stir enthusiasm in other people's lives.

  998. [SPEAKER_06]: And they want to get in no crisis well.

  999. [SPEAKER_06]: So it's going to be a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful trip.

  1000. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

  1001. [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

  1002. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, we hope that you all enjoyed our porch talk here.

  1003. [SPEAKER_04]: We hope that you like to reliving this for a Bible with us.

  1004. [SPEAKER_04]: So we know that the Lord has much more.

  1005. [SPEAKER_04]: We know that there's way, many more people that we're going to be meeting in the water.

  1006. [SPEAKER_04]: And we just can't wait.

  1007. [SPEAKER_04]: We're excited to live out the great commission.

  1008. [SPEAKER_04]: We're excited to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1009. [SPEAKER_04]: We're excited to bring you biblical baptism and revivals across the nation.

  1010. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, and we're excited to see you.

  1011. [SPEAKER_04]: In addition to us traveling, we also have discipleship lessons.

  1012. [SPEAKER_04]: They're free.

  1013. [SPEAKER_04]: They're right here on YouTube.

  1014. [SPEAKER_04]: So you can go check out any of our discipleship lessons.

  1015. [SPEAKER_04]: They teach you things like how to pray, how to read your Bible.

  1016. [SPEAKER_04]: What's demons in deliverance?

  1017. [SPEAKER_04]: Those kind of things that often are not talked about in churches.

  1018. [SPEAKER_04]: We teach you all of it.

  1019. [SPEAKER_04]: So go watch our discipleship series, listen to some of our podcasts, see some of in depth behind our testimonies of what we've been through and how we got here, even though we just recapped a lot of that.

  1020. [SPEAKER_04]: There's much more to find.

  1021. [SPEAKER_04]: So if you want to go and search us, then you'll be able to find us and listen to all the things that the Lord has led us to say.

  1022. [SPEAKER_04]: So we thank you so much for your love and support.

  1023. [SPEAKER_04]: We are truly excited to bring this revival to the nation.

  1024. [SPEAKER_04]: And we will meet you in the water soon.

  1025. [SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.

  1026. [SPEAKER_05]: Amen.

  1027. [SPEAKER_04]: Amen.
