Concert

Thank you. Well, I'd like to say right now we're not gonna give an altar call tonight. There's a pit right here in front of the stage. But I am gonna try to implant the words of God in you. I know, you cast out seeds; you cast out on the wayside. Some seeds they go on to the rock. Other seeds they go into the thorns, then there some seeds go on the fertile ground. I know some of you are gonna hear this. You’re gonna hear Jesus died for your sins and to destroy the works of the Devil and you're gonna rejoice when you hear that. A lot of you don't know (…..) an oath, you figure it's a political system or something. You don't know the Devil’s behind politics. You don't know you are the tree that God believes in. Anyway, some of you are gonna hear that word, it's like throwing it out to the wayside. You hear it, but you're gonna leave this room, it's gonna disappear immediately. Others of you are gonna hear it, it's gonna be like putting on a rock, you’re also gonna rejoice. But you’re gonna go out there and it's not gonna take any deep root. It's gonna be snatched away by the enemy. I don't mean that old enemy that Waylon Jennings talks about, and Willie Nelson, and Jackson Browne, and Henry Kissinger, any of those people. I mean the real enemy, that one that wants your soul. All right, some of you you’re so choked by the riches of this world, the cares of this world that those riches and those cares are gonna choke this word. I know all about that. But others, I know, are gonna plant the word in fertile ground. For these are the last days, these dark times. It's the midnight hour. I know some of you are on the verge of committing suicide. Some of you, you think you got it all together; it don’t matter. Jesus came for all nations. Every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess. (before Slow Train)

All right, thank you. I Ain't Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody. I know it's not fashionable. It's not fashionable to be thinking about Heaven and Hell. I know that. But God’s always in fashion. So we're gonna be talking about Jesus tonight. And I warn you right now, that if you got any demons inside of you at all they're not gonna like that name, Jesus. They're gonna rebel against that. I know a lot of you think of yourselves as rebels. But let me tell you something, you ain't no rebel at all unless you rebel against the Devil. (after Ain’t Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody)

All right, thank you. Well, we're hanging on to a solid rock. I don't know what you're hanging on to, but we're hanging on to a solid rock.

All right, on the keyboards tonight, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, from Birmingham, Alabama, Terry Young. From Little Rock, Arkansas, on lead guitar tonight, Fred Tackett. Playing drums tonight, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mr. Jim Keltner. Playing bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati, (…..), Tim Drummond. From Dallas, Texas, Clydie King. From Houston, Texas, Gwen Evans. From San Francisco, Mary Bridges. Also from San Francisco, Mona Lisa Young. All right. The girl that told you the story about Jesus, a couple of days ago. Can you hear me now? Remember that story she told you? Well, that's just what some of you, most of you, all of you have been looking for. And you just don't know it. John the Baptist he baptized with water. Jesus baptized with fire and the Holy Spirit, it's a little bit different. Anyway, from Nashville, Tennessee, Regina McCrary. (before Are You Ready?)
