It's a blessing to be here. It's a blessing to finally see y'all's church. Y'all got a good church, got good people, boy, I thank the Lord for it. Good singing, good spirit, praise the Lord. I like being in it, and I wanted to carry on that spirit tonight a little bit. I wanted to preach on Caleb over there when he said I was promised that mountain, and I wanna preach on what we still believe, amen? Caleb said I was promised a land, and I believe I'm still gonna get a land, and I really wanna preach on that land tonight. but I ain't going to. If you got your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter one. Exodus chapter one, and I don't wanna mess things up, but I believe this is what the Lord had me preach. I wanted to preach that shouter, because I like that shouting. I like being around people that shout, don't you? Man, I grew up in a dead Baptist church over in Tennessee, and buddy, they'll never take me back alive, amen? I ain't going back. Amen. A woman walking out of the church there one day, Exodus 1.22. She walked out of the church with a little boy and they had a plaque on the wall of all the soldiers that were killed in battle. And she said, mommy, what's all those names on the wall? What's that mean? And she said, oh, those are the names of all of our young men that died in the service. And he said, was it the evening or the morning service? We don't want to be one of them. Exodus 1.22, let's pray. Father, we thank you for your mercy. We thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray, dear God, you give us these simple truths. Dear God, this message is not complicated, but dear God, I pray we get a hold of it tonight, and I pray, dear God, it'll get a hold of us. Father, we know nothing will be done here unless you do it. Father, I don't have the capability, I don't have the smarts, I don't have any of that, Father. Lord, I'm totally dependent on you. I pray, dear God, you'd move in and out the aisles tonight and do a work in our hearts. In Jesus' most precious name, I pray. Amen. Now, let me read you a story. It said that Pharaoh charged all his people saying, every son that is born, you should cast into the river, and every daughter, you shall save alive. Now, I say that's a little bit prejudiced, wouldn't you? It said, there went a man of the house of Levi and took a wife, a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived and bare a son. And when she saw him, that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. God makes you wonder what would have happened to him if he'd been ugly. Said he saw he's a good child, so she hid him. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and dobbed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein, and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maidens walked alone by the river's side. And when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him and said, this is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women? Boy, she was quick, wasn't she? Moses' sister was on the ball. That she may nurse the child for thee. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, take this child away and nurse it for me. And I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed him. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter. And he became her son, and she called his name Moses. And she said, because I drew him out of water. I got a little message here tonight. There's not much to it, but if God gets in it, it'll be all right. I got a little message right here tonight that if you get a hold of this thing, it's the difference in the Christian life. If you can get a hold of this little simple truth here tonight, it's the difference whether you have a happy home, whether you have a happy church, whether you have victory, whether you have the joy of the Lord or not, it's all contained in this little thing right here, this little story I just read you. It's the difference in a happy life. And boy, if you don't get a hold of it, there won't be victories, there won't be peace, there won't be any of those things if you don't get a hold of this somewhat. Now this is one of the most powerful scenes in the Bible as far as I'm concerned. You say, Brother Jim, what are you preaching about? I'm preaching about that basket. This thing right here run a shiver up the spine of every mama in the building. If you're a mama in the building, you read this story, it'll run a shiver up your spine. This was her baby. She had looked at him and seen his eyes. I mean, they told me about grandkids, and I said, well, that'll be something. And I knew it'd be something. I knew I couldn't wait to get one. And we finally got one, and then we got three at one time. And then we got two or three more, and now we got six grandbabies. And brother, I knew it would be good, but you can't tell anybody what it's like until you see them, and you look, and you look in their eyes, and they're looking at you. I mean, it'll change your life. Everything's different when you see that baby's eyes. It just changes things. Well, she'd already seen this baby's eyes. A helpless little baby. And brother, sister, she's fixing to take him and put him in the river. Her only boy. There's current down there. That little old ark, she made that little basket. She made a bull rushes. One tip of that thing be gone down the river. Never see that baby again. That thing tip of that baby drown. There's animals come down there and feed at that river. There's crocodiles in that river. And she's gonna put a helpless little baby, her helpless little baby in that river. She gonna put that baby in that river and turn him loose? Never know that she'd see him again. That's what she's fixing to do. Why, Brother Jim, why would she do that? She came to a place. And I don't think it was her idea. I don't, Brother Jerry, I don't think she wanted to. I don't think she came to this place because she said, well, this is just the right thing. She came to a place where she didn't have no choice. It was put him in the river or die. They were killing those babies right and left, and the Bible says she couldn't hide them no more. So what's she gonna do? She came to a place where she had to totally rely on God. Oh, if you get ahold of this tonight, it'll help you, boy. It ain't much of a message, but boy, there sure is a good message in it. She came to a place where she couldn't work it out. Men, we men, we like to work it out. We'll figure out a way. Well, let's just figure it out. Well, sometimes you can't figure it out. And when they tell you you may have six months to live, you can't figure it out. We try to figure it out. She couldn't buy her way out. She couldn't make a way out of this. Brother, sister, she done all she could. And when she done all she could, you know what she did? She got in her kitchen at night and she made her basket. And she slimed that thing and pitched that thing and put a little cover over that thing. And I imagine every night before she went to bed, she walked by that basket in there on that kitchen table to look at that thing. And boy, no, whoo, no, the day's coming. Won't be long. I'm going to put that baby in there. And I'm going to turn him loose. And then finally, the day came. What a day. What a day that was when she grabbed that basket and that baby and took off to the river. Brother and sister, you picture that mama. She took one more look. She took one more hug, I'm sure. She placed him down in the river. And I know she looked at them little fat cheeks one more time. You know the best sugar on a baby's little fat cheeks? She put him in there and she held onto that thing in that river. And I know she looked at him again. That's her only boy. I know she looked at him one more time and there he was, and I'm sure she got down and got her one more sugar. And then eventually, you know what she had to do? She had to turn it loose and walk off. Had to turn it loose and walk away. Say, Brother Jim, what a terrible thing. It was a terrible thing, but it's all she could do. She didn't know the outcome. She didn't know if he'd live or die. She didn't know for sure she'd ever see that boy again. I'm sure when she turned him loose, she thought she'd never see him again. But she turned him loose. Finally, she let it go. He was in God's hands now. But if she hadn't have let go, her boy would be dead now. Well, Jim, I could never put him out there and just turn him loose and just pray and let him go. I could never do that. Well, that baby would have died. He'd been dead the next day if she hadn't let go. There would have been no deliverer for Israel named Moses if she hadn't let go. There would have been no writer of the first five books in your Bible named Moses if she hadn't let go. Thank God she let go. She had to let go, or we'd be in a mess. I'm glad she let it go. It can't be easy. It had to be gut-wrenching, heartbreaking. So why you say all that, Brother Jim? Because I'm telling you, if you're saved by the grace of God, there's not a man, woman, or child in this building who won't be in that spot one day. There won't be a man, woman, or child in this building who won't come to a place where you have to turn something loose and trust God with it. And if you can't do that, you'll never have the victory. You'll never be used of God unless you're willing to turn loose and let God have it. Never will. You know what you'll do? You'll hold on to something till you die spiritually. Or you'll hold on to the kids till they die spiritually. Your joy will die with it. Sometimes your church will die with it because somebody won't let go. I've seen homes tore apart because somebody couldn't let go of something. You're going to come to a point, young people, you're going to come to a spot where there's something you're doing you're going to need to turn loose of. Not willing to do it, God's not going to use you. There'll come a time everybody in the building will be there. And listen, tonight, I'll be real brief tonight. I don't know what your situation is. I don't know what's in your basket. I don't know what it is you're holding on to. I don't know what you've been praying about. I don't know what you're going through. Some of you are going through some bad stuff. But I know when you've done all you can, you'd be better off to turn loose and say, God, I can't. You'd be better off to turn loose and let him have it. I do know that. What's in your basket tonight? Say, what do I do, Brother Jim? Well, you're gonna have to act like you have a God. And you're gonna have to turn loose and trust him. That's what you're gonna have to do. You're gonna have to let go of the basket. God's will will never be accomplished as long as it's in your hand. We're in revival here this week. And you say, oh God, I need it, fill me up. Lord, I need filling. I need to be filled with joy. I need the Holy Spirit. Lord, fill me while we're here. Give me the good stuff, Lord. Fill the tank. Lord says, I'll do it. But who's gonna drive? I'll fill it up if you're gonna let me drive. Well, I'll let you drive, Lord. I'll set up. No, you're not sitting beside me either. You're not gonna solve it where you can grab the wheel every time it goes somewhere you don't want. I'll fill it up. I'll do the driving. Amen. I remember when I was going to Bible school, me and my wife and we went off to Bible school with I think three or $400 to our name and everything we owned in three, four boxes going to Bible school. We was going to Bible school 500 miles from home and we didn't have a car. We was riding a Greyhound bus to Bible school with no car and no job when we got there. You're talking about faith. That's not faith, that's stupidity. But here we went, and we got on a Greyhound bus and left Dyersburg, Tennessee. As that bus pulled out, it turned there where I could see the Court Square in Dyersburg. The Court Square, Brother Scotty, in Dyersburg, Tennessee has a Confederate soldier standing on it. I hope it's still there. It's a Confederate soldier standing on it, and I used to stand on the steps of that statue every Christmas. and the parade would come through town and they'd throw candy. And I'd jump off that statue and get me a whole sack of candy. Candy's a big deal when we was kids. I'd grab that candy, boy, and I remember every Christmas I was right there with that Confederate soldier getting all the candy I could get. And we pulled out, man, through that bus window, you could see that Confederate soldier over there. I thought, my, my, where are you going, idiot? You don't have a car, you don't have a job. Where are you going? Leaving everything we knew behind. And my wife, bless her heart, we hadn't been married long. She's just willing to go wherever I went. And down the road we went, say what happened? We just turned loose. We turned loose and asked God to bless it. And boy, I'll tell you what, I wouldn't trade a mile of it. I wouldn't trade an hour of it for anything to work. It's the best thing we ever done, outside of getting saved. Going to Urbana was that way. We didn't come over here to go to Mountain View, Arkansas and start a church. We didn't even come over here to preach. I come over here to Branson, Missouri to start a job. I'm a master electrician. I came over here to wire the Mel Tillis Theater in Branson. That's what I came to do. They hired me over the phone. He said, I see your credentials. You're hired. I said, I'll take it. I went over to Branson. He said, where are you going to live? I said, I don't know. We got to look. We looked. How many days? We looked. We turned over every rock in Branson. There was not one place for sale or rent anywhere in Branson. We couldn't rent a mobile home. We couldn't rent anything. Boy, we went back home and tailed 20 legs, said, I guess we'll have to go back to Mountain View. We've been there ever since. Say, what happened? Oh, we just turned loose and let God have it. Amen. We built a church camp that way. Just turn loose and let God have it. You say, bro, Jim, how about that? I'm preaching that to you. I can't tell you how good it is to turn loose and let God, I couldn't explain it to you. Your preacher knows, some of these preachers know, but I couldn't explain it to you. But you know what, there's some of you here tonight. Brother Jim, you don't know us. Oh yes I do. I know you. You're just like my people. My people like your people. There's some of you, bless your heart, you've been standing knee deep in the river for five, 10 years. Basket still in your hand. I mean, cattails have come up and matured and fall apart. A new crop, new season, here they go again. And you're still in the water holding on to something that you can't turn loose of and let God have. You've been in there for years. You ain't turned loose yet. I'm gonna ask you tonight to turn loose. Ask you tonight to give it to God and just trust Him with it and say, Lord, our hands are off of it. You take it. Would you do it? I would. I would. I will say three things about this basket and I'll quit. Say, Brother Jim, you've already said three things. Well, there's three more. I don't preach long, it just seems long, amen? I will say number one, brother and sister, she was facing a terrible problem. Would you not say? I mean, I can't think of many things worse than that. Your child, can't think of many things worse than that. She couldn't see a way out. She searched, don't you know she searched? And had no answers. Some of you may be there right now. Brother Jim, if something don't happen soon, we're gonna lose blank. You fill in the blank. You know better than I do, what's in the blank? Brother Jim, if something don't change, we're gonna lose blank. It might be my home. I've seen them lose a home because somebody couldn't turn loose. I've seen a marriage torn a million pieces because somebody couldn't let go of something. Seen it? My marriage may be destroyed. My home may be... Brother Jim, my church could be destroyed. I've seen it. Brother Jim, it might be your health tonight. I don't know what it is, but if something don't happen soon, you're gonna be in a mess. She was facing a terrible problem. Had no way out. Brother Jimmy, if things are not fixed, I may lose my walk with God. Yes, you may. If something don't happen, I may lose my joy. First thing to go. You know what goes after that? It's assurance for your salvation. Brother Jimmy, if something don't happen soon, I may lose that closeness I used to have with God. I don't have it like I used to. But Jim, if something don't happen soon, I may lose his touch. One won't live without that. But Jim, this is even more important. If something don't happen soon, I may lose his presence. Oh, I used to feel him. When the choir sang, I could feel him. And when I'd walk in today and talk with him, I could feel him. But brother Jim, right now, I think I might lose his presence if something don't happen soon. You're in a terrible spot. You may be in a terrible spot. Samson lost the presence of God and didn't even know he lost it. Everybody around him knew it, he didn't know it. Bible says he went out that day and was gonna do as he'd done before. It said he wished not that the Lord had departed from him. I've seen them sing in the choir and they ain't got a clue. God departed. I've seen them sing specials, and they don't have a clue that God wasn't nowhere within a mile of them. I've seen it. I've seen them preach more sermons than I can count, and they didn't have a clue the presence of God was gone. I've seen them lose their children to sin. In our church, I've seen them lose homes and marriages. You say, I'm worried, Brother Jim. Oh, you've got a right to be. You're in a spot. What are you gonna do about it? I'll tell you in a second. I've seen him. She was facing a terrible problem. Number two, let me say this. Have you done all you could? She did all she could. I mean, she tried everything. She hid that baby everywhere. She did everything she could, and then she made an ark of bulrushes and put him in the river. She done all she could do. I mean, I said, Brother Jim, we got problems. Have you done all you can? Have you worked? Hey, brother Jim, I'm in financial difficulty. Well, do you have a job? I don't know where the money's coming from. Well, are you working? That would be a good place to start. Have you prayed? Have you searched the scriptures? Have you done all you can? I always have people come in my office for counseling. And I've been here long enough now, I know who's coming, who ain't just about. And I know most of the time the problem before we get there. But I have people come in our office for counseling and I ask the same question first every time. I ask the same question every time. And you wouldn't believe it, a hundred different people, I get the same answer from every one of them. It's the same. What's the question, Brother Jim? Are you reading your Bible? And you know what the answer I get every time? Well, not like I should, Brother Tim. You want me to interpret that? That's almost never, is what that means. That means almost never. You don't read your Bible, how do you think things are gonna work out if you don't read your Bible? Well, Brother Jim, I've done all I could. No, you haven't, you haven't done your part. if you're not reading your Bible and praying and searching the scriptures. You know, most of the time, God won't fix something if you can fix it anyway. If you can fix it, fix it. Did you work? Brother Jim, I'm trying to fix it. Have you said you're sorry? That go a long way. Yeah. My wife's here tonight, bless her. I love her. But sorry is not in her vocabulary. She can't find it. Brother Jerry, she can't find it. She'll know she's wrong, but she can't say, I can't do it. She'll fix me a pie. She'll fix my favorite meal. She'll bring it in there to me, bring me tea, bring me everything. Like live like a king. But she can't say I'm sorry. She told me one day, she said, I ain't been wrong yet. Man, let me say this. Brother Jim, I've done all I can. Did you ask forgiveness? Did you ask somebody to forgive you? Well, brother Jim, they're wrong, not me. Will you still ask them to forgive you? Go ahead and take the licks. Ask them to forgive you. And after all this, brother and sister, after you've done all you can and still no answer, I'd say tonight, it'd be time you just turn loose. Took your hands off of it and ask God to take it. Trust God to take it. See, you can't have revival until we're willing to let go of some things. If we let go of some things, you have revival. Have you done all you can? In Dyersburg, Tennessee, where I used to live. Oh, that's good. It's a dry sermon. Dyersburg, Tennessee, where I used to live, they had a cotton mill. And they had a thing up there called a napper. Some of you may know what that is. But it takes a roll of cotton, yarn, and it makes that into a material that you can actually use for clothes and stuff. It's huge. It goes from one side of this building almost to the other. It's huge. Superintendent took a guy up there one day, just hired him. He said, I'm going to put you on this napper. He said, it will run by itself. All you have to do is keep a few things done. But he said, up here at the top, if you ever see it start to ball up right there, he said, you shut her down with that button right there immediately, and you call the foreman. He knows how to fix it, and he can fix it. Don't try to fix it yourself. He said, call the foreman, and he'll fix it. Man, they said that he went back to his office as superintendent, and it wasn't 30 minutes, man. Alarms started going off all over that cotton mill. said they heard the awfulest racket and they went upstairs and said that napper was in 40 pieces across the floor, just tore all two pieces. He went over there about had a heart attack, shut the whole floor down. He said, what did you do? He said, well, it was, it was just a little spot on the side and I thought surely I could take a stick and just undo it. It's just a little spot. He said, I told you not to do that. He said, I told you don't mess with it, shut it down. He said, well, I did the best I could. He said, no. He said, the best you could have done was call the phone. That's the best thing you could have done. You say, Brother Jim, we got a problem in our marriage, we got a problem in our home, we got a problem with finances, we got a problem with kids, we got a problem with teenagers, and we've done the best we can. You haven't done the best you can unless you call the foreman. You call him, that's the best you can do. Call the foreman. He can fix it. He knows how to fix it. Call the foreman. Sometimes, brother and sister, you've got to lose control. Sometimes when you can't see the outcome, that's where we have trouble in it. You've got to go on anyway. It's out of your hands. You're going to have to blindly trust Jesus Christ with it and turn loose and let Him have the basket. That's what I'm going to ask you to do tonight. Maybe you have some revival in this church. I hope we have revival in our church. But I know if we do, it'd be because some people turn loose and take their hands off of it and let the Lord have it. You know what's in your basket? He said, Brother Jim, you don't know what's in my basket. No, but I got a good idea for some of you. You know what's in your basket? You. You're the one that's in the way. You watching some of your basket tonight? Look in it. It's your plans. You got to take your hands off those plans and give them to God too. Well, I'm going to live over here and go to school over here and do this. Yeah. Are you the foreman now? I will say this last night for turning loose. There's a reward for turning loose. She got paid to raise her own kids. What a deal! Got paid to raise her own youngins, her own brats. She got paid for it. I'm in Arkansas today, boy, and I'm glad to be there. Because one day me and my wife turned loose and just let God have our life. There's peace that's knowing that it's in His hands. Lester, Lester Roloff, and man, we're enjoying it. We got a good church. We got a good camp. We got good people. I'm telling you, God has been good to us. We've seen souls saved, lives changed. It's a hoot, more being saved. Say, what is that Lester Roloff said that he used to pick cotton for his daddy? Lester Roloff's daddy owned the cotton field. And he said him and another little boy, just a hired hand, his name was Billy. And they's both about 10 year old. And they picked cotton out there for Lester's daddy. And said every Saturday, Billy said Billy didn't have a dime. He didn't have decent clothes to wear, didn't have decent shoes. But he said every Saturday they'd go to the store and they'd go into the drugstore and Lester's daddy would give them a dime. for two Cokes, that is a nickel apiece. And Billy couldn't buy a Coke, he couldn't buy nothing. Lester popped that dime on the counter and he said, I want two drinks for me and my friend Billy. They did that every week for months. Lester said they started in there one day and they got right up to the door. Lester's daddy had gave him the dime, said he got right up to the door and Billy looked at Lester, he said, Lester, he said, could I give him the dime today? Woo! Can I look like the big shot? Can I look just one time? Can I look like somebody that was doing something? You say you got a great church, Brother Jim. We do, but that's just the Lord letting me give the dime. Brother Jerry got a good word. Brother Robert, these fellas got good words. That's just, say, boy, they've done a great job. Oh, that's just the Lord letting them give the dime. Brother Andy got a good word. Brother Scotty, these guys have got good works. They're doing things for God. Say, boy, it's something to see. Yeah, it's just the Lord letting us give the dime. He makes us look better than we are. If you had to live with us, you'd know better. We've seen a lot, but that's just the Lord letting us give the dime. There's a reward for turning loose. God still rewards people tonight for turning loose. He rewards here and hereafter if you turn loose. I pray every night for our grandkids, and I pray, God, keep them, Lord, under your wing. And I pray, God, I said, Lord, give them a good life on this earth in thee. If it's not in him, I'm not interested in it. But I pray every night, God give them a good life indeed. And they all play bluegrass gospel music. Every one of them, boy. I mean, my granddaughter's as good a fiddler as there is around. And I mean, they play. And I walked out of my house here a while back and was walking around to the barn back behind there. And their house is about 100 yards from ours down the hill. And they got them a tree house down there and a big old fire pit. And they got seats around that fire pit and everything. And I walked out of my house, and I heard bluegrass music coming up the hill. Man, he's up there playing I'll Fly Away or something like that, boy. And I can hear him down there laughing, cutting up, playing that music. And I started around the barn, and the Lord said, that's a pretty good life, ain't it? Woo! Oh, he'll reward you down here, and he'll reward you up there, too. I'm glad we turned loose one day. Sure am. Glad we let it go. Now listen, tonight, I don't know what's in your basket. It may be something real serious. It may be something hanging on a thread. I don't know. I don't know what's in your basket. Maybe it's a child. Maybe you've got a prodigal son or daughter. I don't know. I don't know any of you. I don't know what it is. Maybe he's what you've been praying about. Maybe it's time you turn him or her loose. I'll tell you what I mean by that statement in a minute. But brothers and sisters, the prodigal son would have never made it back home in our day and time. He'd never come home. Because there'd been a church somewhere that'd give him a sandwich. They would have gave him some soup. They would have gave him a warm bed. They would have gave him everything so he'd never have to go back to the father. He bought him out. He came to himself when he bought him out. And mom and daddy, he'll never bought him out and she'll never bought him out as long as you're funding their lifestyle. Never will. You're supporting them in their sin. He'll never come to himself until you quit paying his insurance and paying his car payment. Never will. I don't know what's in your basket. Say, I may never be invited back after this. I don't know, but that's the truth. Preacher said he preached at church a while back. He said, I think they're gonna have me back over in the winter. He said, I heard the preacher say it'd be a cold day when I came back. Maybe it's a spouse. Maybe it's a boyfriend. Maybe it's a girlfriend. Maybe you need to turn loose and let God take control of that situation. Don't know. Maybe it's financial. Maybe it's your health. Let me ask you tonight, have you done your best? Won't you come up here tonight then and call before me. Just call the phone and say, God, I'm not smart enough to do it. Would you take it? God, I can't figure this out. I've wrestled with it too long. I'm taking my hands off of it. Thy will be done. Would you do that? You probably need to turn loose. I didn't say give up. I didn't say quit loving. You don't ever give up and you don't ever quit loving. But you may have to turn loose so they can come back to God. Do you know the prodigal's father didn't go down there and get him? He's not coming to the pig pen. You gotta come home. And some of you may tonight, I don't know what your turn, you may need to join a good church. Boy, this is a good one. I don't know what's holding you back, but I'd turn loose if I was you. There might be somebody here that needs to be saved. I don't know what's holding you back, what you're hanging on to, but if I was you tonight, I'd turn it loose. Still holding on to something. I went over to Tennessee, and I'll quit here in just a second. I went over to Tennessee to see a friend of mine that was lost. And I used to run with a bad crowd when I was lost. And we did everything we was big enough to do. And I'm not going to glorify the devil by telling you what we've done, but we did everything we could. Lived a terrible life. And I went over and seen all my old friends and tried to win them to the Lord. And I won a few of them. And a few of them I couldn't win. But I won some. But I remember going over one night and seeing a man named Brian Lay I used to run with. And I said, Brian, I said, you're going to hell. Do you know it? He said, I know it. And I said, you're lost. He said, I am lost, never been saved. I said, well, Brian, I said, wouldn't you like to be saved? He said, I don't think so, not right now. And I begged and pleaded with him, and I said, OK, I'm going to go, but I'm going to pray for you. He said, go ahead and pray for me. But he said, I'm not coming right now. And I got to the door, and I started to open the door, Brother Andy. I started to open the door, and he said, hey, Jim. I turned around and looked at him across the room. He said, if you'd got here a couple years earlier, I might have done it. He said, but now I don't even think about it no more. He said, now it don't even bother me no more. Well, man, I'm telling you, if you're in that shape tonight, I don't know what's holding you back. But if I was you, I'd turn it loose while it still bothers you. I'd turn loose and come while I still could. Let's stand. I don't know how Brother Andy wants to do this, but I am going to give you an opportunity to come. If God spoke your heart about any of these things, maybe you need to come tonight and just turn loose. This would be a good night to start revival. Brother Scotty, they tell me you did an outstanding job last night. Boy, what a good start. It could start with you tonight if you come turn loose. What's holding you back? What are you hanging on to that keeps you from the will of God? Won't you come tonight and turn loose? Some of you got a husband that's like an anchor. Ain't no telling what she'd do for God if you didn't hold her back. Some of you got a wife that's holding you back. What is it that you can't turn loose of?
