Thank You father father we come before
your word tonight with expectancy we
open our hearts we open our ears open
our eyes to heaven to receive revelation
from heaven words that move heaven on
the earth ha thank you sir we thank you
for it in Jesus name Amen let’s open our
Bibles once again tonight to first
Timothy chapter 6
will read that 12th verse again
first Timothy 6:12 fight the good fight
of faith lay hold on eternal life
whereunto you are also called and have
professed a good profession before many
witnesses fight the good fight of faith
now we need to know what the enemy of
faith is if we’re going to fight a fight
we need to know who the enemy is
amen so we talked about the fact that
this fight is about laying hold on
eternal life the greek word translated
eternal life is Zoe
goe it literally translated means the
life of God it is the it’s it’s the part
of God that makes God God now quote John
3:16 with me for God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son
should not perish but how should not
perish but have Zoe that’s interesting
in it
jesus said I came that you might have
Zoe and have it more abundantly now
let’s go to John 6:63 please here again
Jesus is speaking John chapter 6 it is
the spirit that makes alive the flesh
profits nothing the words that I speak
unto you they are spirit and they are
though a they are spirit and they are
the life of God glory to God and that
excites me just a just to go through
that now go back to proverbs chapter 4
proverbs 4 verse 20 my son attend to my
words incline thine ear unto my sayings
let them my sayings my word let them not
depart from your eyes keep them in the
midst of your heart for they are life to
those that find them and health or
medicine to all their flesh so can you
see where the life is
the life is in God yes but in the
beginning was the word I’m talking about
the Gospel of John now first verse in
the first chapter in the beginning was
the word the Word was with God and the
Word was God the same in the beginning
with God and not anything was made
without him and you go down just a few
verses down and said and the word became
flesh talking about Jesus and dwelt
among us amen now then that word then is
the source of life let’s go back now
where we were in well this time let’s go
to Mark’s Gospel chapter 5 we were
reading it in the Book of Luke and we
will go over there but mark chapter 5
and look at what else read begin reading
with the verse 20 he Jesus departed and
began to publish in D Coppola soar the
ten cities in that region how great
things Jesus had done farming all did
men did marvel now that’s talking about
the Mad Men again era you remember that
the man that was living in the tombs and
cutting himself and and all of that and
and he those Devils in that man ran out
there to meet Jesus I mean they weren’t
running out there to worshiping they’re
running out there to attack it but then
Jesus said come out of the man you
unclean spirit and man he fell on his
face in front of him and then now there
is it’s clean in his right mind what did
that words words those Devils had to
listen to words they could not give two
cents for all the psychology you can
come up with they’ll monkey with you
they’ll play games with you and you
fooling around with all the psychology
and and and and all of that
hey I’m looking mess around with you you
think you’re getting some worth and they
didn’t make a fool out of you they
they’ll manipulate you big time
but when you know God and you listen to
what he said I was there’s a pastor
friend of mine called me number years
ago he said brother Kenneth I need your
help and I’m I’m bad right now I said
well yeah he lived there town and and
and I was I was in town for a couple of
days and he said you know my wife has
had epileptic seizures from time to time
he said we we’ve always had to deal with
this now this was back when they could
come pick you up and and just confine
you to a psychiatric
ward back in the day this was in the 70s
he said somebody said my wife went out
in the yard and she had a seizure in the
front yard and and one of the neighbors
called and had her pick it up they came
out there got her and he said brother
Copeland they put her in the section
eight Ward into County Hospital he can
you give her out I said I’ll inquire of
the Lord and I’ll do whatever he says do
and I did and the Lord said go down
there get her out well I’ve never been
down there I didn’t know what that
section eight Ward looked like but on
the way down there I’m telling you the
anointing of God came on me and it just
got stronger and bolder and bolder and
stronger and by the time I got down at
that hospital it had a great big brass
door that thing was about eyes but ten
feet tall there and going into that that
Ward and if you’ve never experienced if
you’ve never never been under that kind
of anointing you need you need to put
yourself in position the time the time
to get under it seek the Lord find out
what he to have you do and don’t don’t
be afraid to go do things under the
power God now you don’t just be running
around but in your head in the places
where don’t belong but when God tells
you to go go don’t argue go and because
we found out last night and this morning
that the enemy of faith is anyway I
walked in there and I didn’t go to the
desk and ask me I talked to sister now I
just walked in there and walked up to
that door and got up there – it was a
you know there’s a an officer standing
there I said oh that door he said oh
yeah he’s told me that and when he
opened it up man all these people come
gathering out there and I there’s some
strange-looking folks in there but then
this wasn’t my first time to be in that
kind of environment so I mean to tell
you doctor
there was the biggest the blackest man I
have ever seen in my whole entire life
up to that time I met one later that was
a little uglier than him but I was there
um to live there this is him right here
and he got on he now y’all ain’t country
enough to know what big Smith overhauls
are some of it so how do you do
amen well he had on a pair of big
Smith’s no shirt just him big overall
amen and he’s standing I walked in there
and I expect he’s probably that much
taller than me
and I would I truthfully estimate him
somewhere but 285 pounds or something
that neighborhood bad big boy and he’s
telling they’re looking at me
well with power God on you you don’t pay
attention yourself I said get away
Cosi the man’s not my enemy the
scripture said flesh and blood is not
your enemy it’s that spirit that’s
riding and he just jumped all the way
and I started back in there and I heard
pastor’s wife brother Koch brother
Copeland is that you is that you is that
you Wow
in that room lesser art oh she’s a
brother Copeland oh brother Copeland I’m
so glad you and had a seizure right and
this right in front of me I said no you
don’t Satan in the name of Jesus you
come out of her right now and she just
snapped around and she stood up oh oh
brother Copeland that thing’s gone glory
to God
well there was another there was another
young woman in there in the in that same
room a little bit younger than then the
pastor’s wife and she said mister can
you do that for me I want to be free I
said sure so cistern I casted that
letter I was preaching I was in the West
Indies I’m in Jamaica oh brother
and we were on the way to the service
that I was up in the mountains I had
preached a couple of days in Spanish
down in church there but we went on up
in the mountains and this is back again
in the seventies and I was the first
light-skinned man that many of these
people had ever seen but they’d been
praying and fasting a day in a week to
for God to send somebody in there to
teach them revelation knowledge from the
scripture well the Lord sent me in well
the pastor picked me up that evening to
take me over to the service and we’re up
there in the mountains and roads almost
non-existent and we’re banging around a
bit on our old roads he said could we
stop and pray for a lady on the way to
the church I said
sure so he’s top we got out of the car
and I stepped out of course on that side
he walked around here and he said oh by
the way she’s mad I said what he said
she’s mad I said what do you mean mad
this is she crazy well Oh me we walked
in that house now we are pairing the
mountain men in electricity then nothing
in there and it’s almost dark and we
walk in and I’m I’m looking for the
crazy woman and I’m walking in there
with him he knows these people he
pastors in there you know and I’m
following him I passed three already
that I thought was her and we ain’t
found her yet ha ha ha lady I’m not
kidding you enough he walked in there oh
brother
I mean it I mean it looked like some
kind of Halloween house man
well if you’ve never been in a place
like that you use your sense of devils
and and you can you can tell when you
walk into it it’s oppression when you
walk in it
I’ve back during the days of the USSR
the Soviet Union and you’d cross the
border and go into those countries you
can tell when you cross the line you can
tell in an airplane you can tell when
you fly across that border the
oppression hits you thank God that
thing’s not there anymore
it hidden there in that good
well folk did there and finally got back
to the room where she was well a pastor
and me and one of the Philip walked in
there this little woman was squatted in
a bed and she’d been in that bed for 18
years
and she had a little stick about that
long with a bandana tied up like a
knapsack and she had some trinkets and
stuff inside that handkerchief and and
it was in the bed with her and she
squatted down in a bed we walked in
there she looked at the pastor and she
said you must me brother Webber he said
no back in those days brother Webber was
on the radio in the United States and
she looked at this other fellow that was
with me and she said you must meet Oral
Roberts he said no ma’am she turned
around and looked at me said she’s not
doing a talking she said I know who you
are and you’re afraid of anything that’s
not flesh and I said you’re a liar in
the name of Jesus I fear no devil or no
man and you cut out of her right now
then she folded up and and and she she
looked back up at me again well now all
the time I’m listening to the Lord here
you don’t be just running off at the
mouth
jesus said I only say what I hear my
father say amen so I just stood there at
attention and she wouldn’t look at me
she rolled her eyes back around like
that and she raised up there again and I
heard the word of the Lord I said
sweetheart jesus loves you
she dropped like somebody’s shot she
just hit that bid and she kind of
staggered around there a little bit
felling that bit he’s come back up there
again I see he loves you darling he sent
me to tell you that he loves you
I said now devil you’re gonna have to
leave her right now she’s not your
property
she belongs the Lord Jesus Christ you
take your hands off of it right now come
to find out 18 years before there was a
revival meeting going on in that area
she wanted to go to that meeting and she
got so excited she got she came up to
get to accept Jesus as her Lord and
Savior and did and was so excited about
it oh she was so thrilled and so she was
going to come back Sunday and so she
went to them she went to the beauty shop
got all fixed up and had her hair
trimmed up a little bit into and and and
she came back to the church on Sunday
she was so excited they wouldn’t let her
in coach she cut her hair no no you
can’t come to church women can’t cut
their hair you can’t come to church and
she had some polish on her fingers
you’re not bringing that in here it
broke her heart she didn’t know any
better and she went back home she got
despondent over that now see when you
get despondent and when you get into
depression you open the door within to
you your mind into those spirits that’s
the reason those things’ll lead you
they’ll lead you to suicide if you don’t
do something about it I’ve been through
depression like that I know I’m coming
but if you take authority over it in the
name of Jesus you’d be surprised
she all of those things are fear-based
that’s that’s what I’m getting to you
now she she just got worse and worse and
worse and worse
until those spirits were able to
completely
take her over take over her mind well
now I understood after I found out what
the story was why God said tell her I
love her and that broke that thing it
broke its power didn’t it no longer had
any any effect on it I took a while for
her to to get in the word and and
develop and come out of there now all
all doubt all depression all unbelief
all of it is fear-based
now remember fear and faith function in
the same spiritual environment because
fear was originally Adams faith before
he sinned you remember what happened
then after Adam fell and God came into
that garden what what did Adam do he ran
off he hid out see what had happened he
was disconnected from God now he’s
connected to Satan who is the spirit of
fear Satan is one that caused that well
actually the man caused it the woman was
to see but the scripture said two men
what he did it with his eyes wide open
and then tried to blame it on God and
blame it on his wife so now he ran from
God
now here listen carefully now remember
we studied this all social ISM all of it
social ISM is man trying to meet his own
needs without God and he can do it but
he tries now the first act of that was
in the Garden of Eden the very first
thing
that Adam tried to do was clothe himself
huh he was clothed with the glory of God
from the inside out he’d never seen his
naked body until the light went out it
scared him frighten him he hidden him or
what he’s looking at man I mean he never
saw anything like it he had the same
glory on him zone duh God called him and
and crowned him with his glory called
him blessed and fruitful and multiplying
so forth now here he is afraid now so
what does he do
the scripture says the man sowed he
never saw nothing in his life he don’t
know he don’t know SiC him from come on
man I mean he don’t know anything he
sewed clothes out of fig leaves here he
comes to God in his little fig leaf suit
don’t you know and um his Lincoln thing
you start off your life it of belladonna
he don’t know what are you doing and he
showed him a fig leaf suit i I just see
gods in it Oh
Hey he said come here boy mama and look
what God is she God killed an animal the
first covenant was made between God and
his fallen man who is now disconnected
from God but now he’s connected to the
devil but God made covenant and
reconnected him in order to supply him
and he made him clothes out of the fur
of that animal in whose blood that
covenant was made
now when you like to have that suit oh
yeah
it had God hand make you an Armin suit
son you got to be some kind of good
linen don’t you know mama was
good-looking oh yeah mama he was there
she was shining but hey those God made
her clothes he made the woman then he
made the clothes for her so now you see
the process and it has followed that all
down through the centuries man trying to
meet his own need and by covenant God
coming back in and offering the man his
services to meet his needs to get that
blessing back Jesus came and this last
covenant the new covenant was made in
his blood amen
amen going oh I love it
hallelujah now then fear connects with
death and holds to it drawing from the
spirit of death that is a little faith
in God and fear are both faith fear is
faith in death the fear of death is
faith in death and it’s and its power to
hurt you and do you great faith in God
is faith in his life now you can see one
of the two of them are going to butt
heads somewhere there they’re both
they’re both faith what I’m running in
one direction when I’m running in the
other one one of the others going
towards people think it’s going towards
death it didn’t going through towards
the devil because at one time he had the
power of death he doesn’t have it
anymore Jesus took it away from we’re
going to look at those scriptures now
then fear connects with death and holds
to it drawing from the spirit of death
or drawing from Satan who is the the the
spirit of death he’s the spirit he’s
called the spirit of fear faith connects
with life and holds to it drawing from
the spirit of life in Christ Jesus now
can you see the two kingdoms let’s go
over that a chapter of Romans and look
at it
romans chapter 8 verse 1 there is
therefore now say now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus who walk
not after the flesh but after the spirit
who walk not after their five physical
senses but they walk after the spirit or
in other words they walk after the Word
of God amen
so my five physical sense
gates contact this natural physical
world and give me information but that
information is not the truth that’s fact
the truth the Word of God says by His
stripes you were healed my physical body
said no I’m not I’m sick now you’ve got
a choice you can believe either one well
I don’t see how you can believe
something other than when you own you no
good what you’re sick I mean you know
was running years running given and
you’re sneezing coughing blowing you
stand that tell me you must be lying
about it no I’m not lying about it I’m
not speaking my own words to you I am
speaking the Word of God Jesus said in
the fourteenth chapter of John the words
that I speak under you were not my own
it’s the father that dwells within me he
does the works Jesus spoke God’s Word
God gave him his spirit without that
well the same things available to us
we’re gonna see this here in just a
moment now so what do I do
I take God’s Word put it in my eyes put
it in my ears put it in my mouth put it
in my heart by His stripes ye were he he
means me so faith comes by hearing
hearing by the Word of God fear comes by
hearing and hearing by the lies of the
devil
the devil comes along and says you’re
not healed why don’t you feel in see
you’re not healed see that on your arm
you’re not healed I can claim you see
you know he’ll know that’s a fact that’s
not the truth but if I’ll stay with the
truth
I put the truth in my mouth and I begin
to say that faith comes if I keep
listening to the devil fear comes but I
keep listening to the Word of God
I keep speaking the Word of God and it’s
going to start building up in there and
I keep saying my father loves me and
perfected love the scripture said
casteth out fear my father loves me he
loves me just much he does Jesus jesus
said so in 17 chapter John God loves me
he loves glory he loves my family glory
to God and I love him and every time I
say this love is building and he gets
the place for fear he got him a room
that’s written they said it casts it out
amen
now that’s what had happened to me in
that section 8 Ward down there that’s
what happened to me in that that those
people’s house in the West Indies and
then God could go on and on and on with
the faith of God rises up on the inside
of you and the love of God begins to
develop first John the fourth chapter
said he that fears is not developed in
love well what develops love keeping the
word first John 2 5 whoso keepeth the
Word of God in him as the love of God
perfected a thing he who confesses Jesus
dwells in God and God lives in him
well God is love first John 4 makes that
statement God is what and perfected love
cash
fear and that can come up in you so
strong than the night that they
diagnosed my granddaughter Lindsay when
she was 11
I’m not sure in meningitis Kelly my
daughter said Danny that when they told
me what that that she wasn’t gonna live
she said that thing came down on me like
a black dark cloud she said it was heavy
and it was it was oppressive and hard
now Terry said her older sister said
Kelly just turned and she just
deliberately walked up to Terry and she
said I refuse to fear Kelly said daddy
when I said that that thing that’s good
she said I was amazed at how weak it was
see when she refused to fear well that
thing’s gone I’m it without any fear
that thing doesn’t have any handle on
you that’s the spirit of torment
perfected love casteth out fear because
fear hath torment scripted the torments
in the fear amen the tormentor who is
the devil the scriptures that calls him
the Tormentor to torment you doubt will
torment you unbelief will torment you
you read something in the scripture and
you start saying yeah but yeah you know
oh yeah but I don’t I mean I just can’t
see and just torment you just driving
tour me I know that works for you
brother Copeland but you see hanging
hanging oh shut up
you don’t need to be rehearsing that
doubt and unbelief come back at it rise
them come back at it say that my mind is
my mind nobody the devil included can
make me think something I don’t want to
think or make me say something I refuse
to say or make me do something I refuse
to do I’m a believer I’m not a doubter
my mind in my mind woahh you get
dangerous when you start talking like
that never no one have nothing doing
you Iraq his stuff that you can set him
back for years
mess up something he’d been working on
for 20 years mess it up in 20 seconds he
won’t on to do with you there’ll be
times he may come at you cuz that’s a
job and he’s self-employed you know he
thinks he has to do that and and he’ll
come at you but you just oh yeah
you’re a liar and a father of it that’s
what Jesus said amen the scripture said
you resisting you flee I refuse to fear
said I I refuse to be tormented I’m a
believer I’m not a doubter now then
let’s go now well we need to go ahead
and finish reading this 8th chapter of
Romans before we leave this verse 2 for
the law read it out loud learning for
the law of the spirit of life in Christ
Jesus made me free from the law of sin
and death now when Jay iris we remember
we read that last night Jay iris fell at
the feet of Jesus said my little
daughter lies at home sick dying
come lay your hands on her she’ll live
now what was he after he’s after the
Zoey the life of God that’s in Jesus so
then on the way the woman with the issue
of blood touched the hem of Jesus
garment and he stopped and said who
touched me this is what do you mean who
touched you
he said virtue are Zoe actually the word
here is Dunamis anointing power of God
the Father that dwells within he does
the work flowed out of him
well sin Jesus Jesus didn’t have
anything to do with it flowing it wasn’t
his faith and did it it wasn’t his word
that did it the scripture said for she
heard of Jesus came in the press behind
for she said is what she said by faith
touched His garment pulled the power out
of him
I’ve had it happen to me some of you
have that had happened to you
amen it ought to be happening to every
one of you all the time and it will if
you just continue to flow in this and
listen to God be obedient to him you in
the grocery store he says you go pray
for somebody go do it
don’t start whining around I’m not
qualified you are too dis got qualified
he told you to do it he told you to do
something you got authorized and you
agree then you got empowered I was
hidden I was in a whole Depot store and
God just took Gloria down there and
she’s looking for something in the Home
Depot store and I’m just wandering
around through the store you notice
looking at the hardware and stuff I like
tools and all that comes to I’m just
roaming around in there
and there was a fellow working in there
and the Lord said why don’t you speak to
him I said okay I went over there and
introduced myself to him and he very
nice gentleman and he said yeah brother
Copeland I know who you are and so we
talked there for a few men
medicine and in jordan one of those
coming in he know the Lord we did there
for a little while and so I went on
about my business and the Lord said you
didn’t you didn’t listen to me long
enough find out what I’m telling you to
do I want you to go back in there and I
want you to give him a hundred dollars I
said okay so I went back in there and I
found him I had to hunt around in there
to find him and I called him over there
I said the word of the Lord come to me
brother to bring you on a dollar and I
took his hand and slapped it in there
and tears started running down his teeth
he said brother Copeland I’m a back slid
many coastal preacher and he said I got
mad at other preachers that stole money
out of my ministry and he said I that’s
the reason I’m not in the ministry today
he said I love God he said I am actually
a God but he said I’m not preaching
tonight Anna should be I suggested he
need me and so we prayed believe God
together that man today is one of the
most faithful men that I have ever met
in my life
what happened to him he said the
anointing of God came on him because the
Spirit of God used me to love him and I
hugged him up and loved him brought $200
and put it in his hand and this is back
when $100 was worth more than about 895

going back into ministry tonight
[Applause]
religion has been waiting all these
years for somebody else to go do that
you can do it you don’t have to be a
preacher all you have to be as obedient
God will come you’re using you out in
public like that then it will me why cuz
you’re the public Jerry Savelle went
with Kelly I Carolyn and Gloria Copeland
can go through a shopping center I’m
telling you man happy I think you do and
it is missing this best Jeremy just go
out there and sit down and we can keep
up with them and Jerry’s in there with
Carolyn Carolyn is just going through
the plate and so Jerrod’s is kind of
walking around you know trying to keep
an eye on front see where’s she going to
come out and he’s just walking around
there’s a woman running up there to him
and said my god my god man pray for me
now he said okay and he just put his
hands on her and prayed Oh already God
she said she starts jumping around and
prays in guns he’s a ton he’ll I’m
healed in inhalant chief she said I was
praying and the Lord told me to come to
this shopping center and then that I
would know who’s supposed to pray for me
and she said I’ve been seeing this light
bob up and down all through this whole
place to this shopping center and she
said it I found out the light has on you
it’s on top of your head
folks this is life see not walking by
sight not walking in the carnal realm
but what did that say go back and look
at it again for the law of the spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has made me free
from the law of sin and death made me
free from the law of sin and death now
let’s go over then to the book of
Hebrews and out again wine and it’s down
I think
I enjoy this more than anybody I learned
more than anybody praise God
thank you lord I do enjoy what I do
hebrews chapter 2
and let’s look at verse 14 Hebrews
chapter 2 verse 14 for as much then as
the children are partakers of flesh and
blood he Jesus also himself likewise
took part of the same now notice this
sentence here so that through death is
he talking about when he went to the
cross now he might destroy him that word
in the end e-excuse me in the in the
original text translated destroy means
to render completely helpless to
paralyze paralyze him to paralyze him
that had past tense had the power of
death that is the devil he doesn’t have
it anymore
Jesus stripped him of it see Jesus went
to hell so you and I don’t have to go he
went to hell and suffered there for
three days and nights that’s what that’s
what that that’s what the death on the
cross was all about
he went into hell and suffered Adams
price for his sin broke hell’s power
over human beings made it available for
every living man and woman from that day
forward has a free choice to choose him
as Lord and Savior and walk away from it
a free man in a free woman but it’s your
choice now hearing or force it on you
you can go to hell if you want to you
ain’t got good sense if you do but but
you can’t if you like but now notice
this and deliver them who through fear
of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage if you’re afraid of
death then Satan can threaten you he’s
holding something over you if he can
threaten you with death but when you
know Jesus and you understand when you
accepted him as Lord and Savior now look
look in the 2nd chapter at the 9th verse
but we see Jesus who was made a little
lower than the Angels for the suffering
of death crowned with glory and honor
that he by the grace of God should taste
death for every man see Jesus did that
for every human being alive then and
every human being barnable woman since
then it is their it but you in it takes
faith in the gospel accepting Jesus to
activate it because he never force it on
anybody the scripture said through one
man’s offense death reigned death came
on every human being after Adam did what
he did didn’t it right you know anybody
there wasn’t enough death to go around
no Satan demanded every man died and he
took command of the earth from from Adam
but then when the scripture said but
through one man’s obedience
righteousness has come upon all men and
they which receive the free gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one
Jesus Christ
now there’s the difference between God
and Satan Satan demanded that every man
died God demanded that ever men have a
choice
that’s why yes that’s him well when you
receive Jesus you receive the free gift
of righteousness you activate the
righteousness of God and the force of
that righteousness cause your inner man
to be recreated in Christ Jesus you’re
not just a forgiving Center
I mean you’re you’re a spirit being this
physical body that ain’t you
that doesn’t define you that’s the house
you live in
amen now Jesus tasted death for all men
the moment you made him the lord of your
life see taste represents five physical
senses so death is no threat anymore
look at first Corinthians
go to the 15th chapter
verse 50 now this I say brethren that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God neither does corruption
inherit incorruption behold I show you a
mystery we shall not all sleep but we
shall be changed in a moment in the
twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet
for the trumpet shall sound and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible and we
shall be changed for this corruptible
must put on incorruption this mortal
must put on immortality
so when this corruption shall he’ll put
on incorruption this mortal have put on
immortality then shall be brought to
pass the saying that is written death is
swallowed up in victory Oh death where
is your sting o grave where is your
victory the sting of death is sin and
the strength of sin is the law but
thanks be to God which gives us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ
the grave don’t mean a thing in the
world of you and me life goes on
you’ll never know it when you die you
can’t taste it you can’t see it you
can’t feel it you can’t smell it and you
can’t hear it Jesus all of that now if
you’ll develop it perfected love will
cast the fear of it out because Jesus
defeated it death has been defeated and
Satan has has lost the power over death
he can threaten you with but he can’t
kill you not unless you live he didn’t
have any writing authority over you
unless you give it to it now where you
get it – it is listening to him and
talking fear but it’s telling no no no
no you’re a liar and a father I don’t
care if your knees are knocking together
and you have a changing color
it’ll come back amen
but now I can tell you this it ain’t gon
do any good for you to stand in the
mirror and look at it like that and say
