And on behalf of my wife, we want to thank all of you all for being here. And thank you for your card with all of your kind words. We've been married 56 years. And I'll have to say it's been a real blessing. No downtime, no problems, no negativity, no shortfalls, shortcomings. It's just been a blessing. Because it was my wife and her family that prayed me into the kingdom where I got saved. I got born again. And so I owe them a debt for praying me into the kingdom. I was listening to Kathy DePlenis one day and she was talking about, because they've been married the same time, uh, same many years we have. She said, well, she said, we've been married all these years too. She said, and it's been a good marriage. The first five were hell on earth. But she said, the rest of the marriage has been good. If you've ever heard Jesse's testimony, uh you'll understand uh what she meant by that. Turning your Bibles to Ephesians chapter 2. I have that had this in my spirit all week. Um Ephesians chapter 2. Uh and I have something specifically for this church. I don't know why. The Lord didn't tell me why, just this is what he wanted me to share with you. Here's what we're going to talk about. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 2. Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. Notice, underline it if you do in your Bible, it says, You walked according to the course of this world. This world has a course. It's doomed and it's been cursed because of Adam's sin and rebellion. And even though we are redeemed from the curse through Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul said to the Ephesians, he said, In times past, everybody say in times past. In times past, you walked according to the course of this world. Certainly we did, because we were all worldly. We all came out of the world and we had the stain and the mark of the world on us. According to the Prince of the Power of the Air. I'm going to tell you who the Prince of the Power of the Air is, and then we're going to talk about the power of the air. You already know the prince of the power of the air is Satan himself. He is the God of this world. He's not our God, but he's the God of this world. He is the Prince of the Power of the Air. And before I get into it too much, you know, we've been on television now since we built VTN. We've been on the air now 39 years. This year. 38 years we've been on the air. And uh Lester Sumraul was the first one that seeded us with uh Christian television. And he would tell me all the time, he said, you've got to take the airwaves back from the devil. He's the prince of the power of the war of the air. We're gonna find out what that meant. The prince. The prince of the power, the principality, the power of the air. And we're gonna find out that the airwaves uh coerce disobedience. They the the airwaves today, radio and television, social media, all of the words that are propelled, and we have three stations in uh Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Jonesboro, Hot Springs. We cover uh three states, the borders and through Roku, all 50 states live streamed internationally. Okay. Those three stations, the the ministry of the word that is propelled, go out from those stations, and it goes through the air. People ask us all the time, how can I get uh VTN? Well, you can get it over the air, which means an antenna. You can get it by cable, or 200 cable systems, you can get it by satellites, you can get it by live stream, you can get it by Roku. Um the devil has had control of the air. And Brother Summerall used to tell me, he said, you've got to take the airwaves back. You've got to get the word of God through the air to the people. Because that's what Satan's doing. He is using all of the how many of you remember not too many years ago, I guess maybe a year or two, the guy that created all those crazy television shows. Uh, what was his name? Um Lear Leary, not Leary. Anyway, he he died and he produced all of the uh he redesigned the family TV shows. You know, when we grew up there was no television, but then television came into existence in the 50s, and you had Father Knows Best, Leave It to Beaver, and you know wholesome, you know, Christian TV shows of the family. But when when he this guy took over, he changed all of that. And all of the family programs became Archie Bunker, and uh the whole family changed right before your very eye. The father was no longer the father no longer knew best. The father was a bungling idiot, and that's what the 50s generation lost, and then it just got worse. Um I won't say this name again. Anyway, it doesn't matter. What? Norman Lear, yeah. And he died recently, and they credit him with all these programs. And I thought to myself, how many people's lives were destroyed for those because of those TV programs? Their whole concept of life and family changed according to the course of this world. And the Prince of the Power or the air, Satan himself, was the one that was designing all of this. And Brother Summerall told us, he said, you've got to take that back. You've got to change what goes over the air and what people hear. Back to Ephesians chapter 2, verses 1 through 7. And you have he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. Where in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air. The spirit, underlying the spirit, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Words you need to pay attention to. The course of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the spirit, and disobedience. The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, among whom also we all had our conversation, underlined conversation. That's part of the power of the air. Words. In times past in the lusts of your flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. You know my testimony, I was saved at the Granville Opry, Nashville, Tennessee. One of my good friends was Eddie Miller, who wrote a lot of country classics. The main one was Release Me, made famous by Enkelbert Humperdinck. And when we would go to Nashville to record, we would stay with Eddie and Barbara in his home. He had a recording studio. And he and I would sit up until I couldn't stay up any longer. He was used to being up at three or four o'clock in the morning because he played the clubs when he was in music, country music, before he became a songwriter. And he told me that how he wrote the song Release Me. He was uh his band was performing in California in a nightclub. And he said, we took a break, and he said, I was sitting there in the booth, and on the opposite side of my table was a booth where a couple was sitting, and he said, I overheard them arguing about their marriage and divorce. And the woman said to the man, please release me and let me go. I don't love you anymore. That's one of the lines of the song. Y'all looking at me like a calf at a new gate. Please release me, let me go. And so he said, I started writing it on a napkin. And he said, and when I got it finished, that song sold 23 million copies. Made him a rich man off of their divorce. That was a conversation of this world. And a lot of people only know about that part of communication, the negative. You drive down the highway at about four to five o'clock, and you'll see all these pickup trucks parked outside those bars and grills. And if you go inside, they're all in there putting their quarters in the jukebox. It might be more than that now, but it used to be a quarter, drinking beer and telling all our sad stories. That's the conversation that they're used to. And they turn on the country music. And I like country music. I was saved at a Grand O'Opry. I enjoy country music. But like Jessica DePlane says, the thing that's so bad about country music is you can understand the words. But you just put a quarter in a box and cry in your beer. And you know, it's always she left me and I'm broke, and the creek's overflowed, and my baby's on the other side, and I can't swim. You know, it's always something like that. And that's the core, that's the conversation of the world. And that's what Satan uses. He has captivated more people. You imagine the people that go to bed at night, if you can call it that, and they go to bed drunk or drugged up, listening to some poor weeping song. Uh Elvis Presley said one time that he, the saddest song that he ever heard in his life. They were talking about recording songs. And this guy brought him this song. He said, I want to play it for you. The title of the song was I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams. Hank Williams died at 29 years of age, drowning in his own vomit in the backseat of his Cadillac, a drunk. And he sang all those sad songs because that was in him. That's what was in him. That was him. And Elvis was mesmerized by it. I think he tried to record it, but he said, I can't match what that man was experiencing. Thank God. You know, it killed him. So he said here, the conversation of this world, this world's course, is to steal, kill, and destroy. And the prince of the power of the air, Satan, is the one that's behind it all. He said, now you used to give place to this. You used to be overtaken by this disobedient spirit. And then we'll go on and find out that Paul was edifying the Ephesians, but who is the prince of the power of the air? Satan, the devil. What is the power of the air? Go to 2 Corinthians 4, 4. 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4. And it refers to Satan again. But he's called the God of this world. 2 Corinthians 4.4. In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan keeps them blinded so that they can't see the truth. Several more of you may remember the hit parade in the 1950s. It was on the radio first and then on television. And they sang all the popular songs. When we got a television set, I was ten years old. I didn't see a TV set until I was ten years old. But the family used to sit and watch these programs. And we'd hear all of the pop songs. They were uplifting. A lot of them were old Christian songs that had been converted to contemporary or pop. Remember who was it? Rosemary Clooney used to sing This Old House and Welcome to My World. All of those were Christian songs. I think Eddie Arnold or somebody made it for him. He was talking about Welcome to My World. Healing still exists. And I recorded it and changed the words a little bit. And this old house was talking about this physical body. We're going to be raptured and go to heaven. There's some other songwriters that you ever heard It's No Secret What God Can Do? It is no secret what God can do. Well, John Wayne ran into the writer of that song one day, downtown LA, and said, You know, I've heard your song. He said, It's no secret what God can do. These are the things that how would I say implode in people's lives, in their brains, their minds. And you know, the prince of the power of the air uses disobedience to coerce you and to keep you locked down, locked in to a lower level. Go over to Ephesians 6.12, and it tells us a little bit about Satan's kingdom. And it talks to us about the principalities. And this is where Satan rules. Ephesians 6.12. We don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Principalities, those are the princes. That's what in Daniel. Daniel had prayed. The angel came down and said, God heard your prayer the first day you prayed it. But 21 days had passed because the prince of Persia, the leading spirit over that nation and those people, the prince of Persia, hindered me 21 days. I'm on my way to give you the answer to your prayer, but I couldn't get through. Michael the Archangel has gone to fight with him, so I can get you your answer. So principalities are princes of nations, of continents. And it goes on to say, against the powers, those are the magistrates, governors, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, the rulers of that rule over the darkness, the dark areas, drugs, uh, alcohol, gambling, you name it, abortion, the darkness of this world. There are princes, there are uh satanic, demonic spirits that rule over those areas of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. I would tell him uh Pastor Michelle before the service. Uh when we used to do telephones and we had a live phone bank, people would call in and make their pledge. There was a uh a lady that actually she became our secretary at one time for a short time, Melba Wilson, and she was answering the phone. And uh this lady called, and uh she just saw it on television, and when Melba started witnessing to her and ministering to her, she hung up. So, but she called back. And Melba asked her, said, Why why did you hang up? She said, Well, I'm a gang member uh here in Little Rock. And she said, and when I heard your voice, I knew you were a white person, and I knew you wouldn't have anything to do with what I had to say. She says, Why? She says, Because I'm black and you're white. She says, Well, that doesn't make any difference. I'd like to help you. She wanted to the Lord. She became a born-again Christian, and Melba went and picked her up, brought her to church, and she got spirit-filled, and then she moved in with Melba and her husband. They adopted her, made her part of their family, and she lives with her to this day. She's a nurse at the hospital, and she's just, you know, it's amazing what God can do. But Melba really put herself into her and ministered to her. And she told me one day, she said, Pastor, you know, uh, the gang that I ran with here in the city, said, we always knew when Christians were praying, because she said our communication lines were confused and chaotic. We we had a plan what we were going to do to torment the city, to terrorize the city. But when Christians started praying and interceding, all of our communication got clogged up and messed up, and we didn't know what to do. I uh communicated with a prisoner down in uh Pine Bluff in one of the prisons for uh several years. He was on death row, been on death row, and a few years ago they executed all of the uh inmates that had been on at death row for 14 years or something, I maybe about four of them. Well, this man had he he was uh member of a gang, and I won't mention the name of the gang that he was a member of in Pine Bluff. And he said that our whole motto was to terrorize the city of Pine Bluff. That's what they did. He said he did. He said, I killed four people. He said, I deserve to die. I deserve, he said, but he they may take my physical life, but they can't take my spirit or my soul. And I told him that. He wrote a book. He was a preacher inside prison. And uh right before they executed him, I contacted him and encouraged him and all that. And after the uh execution, his daughter uh sent me uh a note from him that he wanted to send to me after he had been executed, and it was a tithe that he was sending to our ministry uh because he was so blessed. He got saved, filled with the Spirit, anointed of God, and he began to watch TV. He got saved watching VTN in the state prison. And so he he just said, Man, my whole world opened up after I got born again. He said, All the stuff we were hearing was all death and doom and destruction, killing and murdering and robbing. He said, That's all I knew. And he said, then I realized that there was more to life than that. And he said, so I started listening to VTN, listening to all the words. Being preached and the preachers and the ministries, and he said, it totally changed my life. Well, Satan has control or had control of all of the power of the air. I don't believe he has control. Now he still has control of some of the stuff that's out there. But when Brother Summerall started seeding us with television stations, and he had seven at the time, we have three now, and there's other networks all across the world. We got an invitation from a faith network in South Africa. They have a network that reaches Europe and half of Africa, and they wanted to, you know, the guy, wanted to carry our network on their channel. So there's more gospel being preached today than ever before. And Brother Copeland said the Lord told him to go on every available voice. Now there's a reason for all of this. And he said, I'm going to preach the gospel from the top to the bottom and all the way around the middle. Well, what are we doing? We're taking back the power of the air. We're changing what people listen to, what people hear. You'd be amazed how many people driving in their cars every day, back and forth to work, what they listen to. It sets their life. I remember hearing the story of a pilot that, I mean, excuse me, the full gospel businessman that had been on a missions trip. He was with the full gospel businessman. He was attending a conference and he was on a 747. Jumbo jets collided in the Canary Islands, the island of Teniferi, and he gave his testimony, he lived through it, gave his testimony. He said, I was sitting back there in coach, and we knew something was about to happen. And he said, one jet landed on top of the other and it they exploded. And he said, a ball of fire came down the fuselage. He said, I was sitting in my seat. He said, I could hear people screaming, cursing God as the flesh melted off of their bones. He said, but I remembered what the word says. And it says, no flame kindled against me. And he said, all of a sudden I looked up and there was a hole in the in the cabin, the fuselage. He said, and all of a sudden I was in that hole. An invisible force pulled me through that hole. I jumped off on the wing and down onto the ground and ran into the terminal. When they played the black box for the pilots in the cockpit, the pilots were recorded as cursing God as they died. What was in them in abundance came out. What was in him in abundance came out. What was in him in abundance saved his life. The pilots and the other people that were screaming are probably in hell today. Can't judge them, I don't know any of them, but from what we heard. So what goes into you becomes a part of you. The power of the air. Always be very cautious as to what you listen to. And it will make a difference. So the air, according to Ephesians 6 16, if you will keep reading over there, Ephesians 6 16 says, above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall quench, be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Fiery darts of the wicked. He shoots these fiery darts. The air is where Satan's flaming arrows fly. There's been more people destroyed for lack of knowledge because of what they're listening to. Or what they're not listening to. And I'm not down on country music. I enjoy country music. I enjoy the music. I don't if the music comes on and I don't and I hear the words start coming, I turn it off. I don't listen to those words. Because I don't I don't want to go back. Well Lester Summerall said his kids, his boys, he had three sons, and they uh they found out somebody told them you could play the Beatles records backwards, and they had a secret message. So he said one night we that my boys had a bunking party and and Brother Summerall didn't allow that in his home. But he said they came running down the stairs and said, Daddy, there's something in our room. Come up here quick. So he went up there and told the boys to go get in his bed downstairs, and he commanded the devil and all his demons to get out of their kids' bedroom. He said, Now how did those demons get in your bedroom? He said, Well, we were playing the Beatles records backwards. I don't know how you do that, but that's what I heard. And they would have a message, a coded message. They were listening to the wrong stuff. And all of a sudden, those demons came in there and started terrorizing those kids. The power of the air also refers to the heavens. The power of the air. There's three heavens. There's the stellar heavens. When you go outside tonight and you look up and you see the stars, the moon. And then beyond that, there's the heavens where the demon spirits are and where the angels are. And then there's the third heaven where God is. So it says that the power of the air also refers to the heavens. Ephesians chapter 2, and we can go back to verse 2 and read through verse 6. Let's start with verse 5. Even when we were dead in sins, God hath quickened us together with Christ by grace your same, and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. This is referring to our authority as believers. We're no longer, as it said in verse 2, according to the course of this world, according to the Prince of the Power of the air, the Spirit works in the children of disobedience. We're no longer the children of disobedience once you get born again, once you get saved. And one of the first things you have to do is you have to change the way you live, change the way you think, change what you listen to, what you watch. You can't just continue. Because most of you know my testimony. I was in the liquor business before I got saved. And when I got saved, born again, filled with the Holy Ghost, the first thing I did was come home. I traveled every day. I called on every bar, package store, hotel in Pulaski County, sold them their booze. And I had it all in the trunk of my car and leakers and so forth. I drove down 9th Street. You old enough to know if you've lived here long what was on 9th Street. The hookers were standing on the street corner. The winos were falling out in the streets. And I I had a pistol that I strapped to the steering wheel of my car because they were always coming up to me wanting me to give them some booze. And so I had to protect myself. And uh in the process of time, I came home and I had a liquor cabinet and a lot of expensive stuff that people had given to me. Distilleries, they were always blessing their salespeople and all that. So I went and emptied out my liquor cabinet, poured all the booze down the sink, and took all the bottles and put them in the garbage can and set the garbage can out on the curb. You should have seen the garbage men when they came by the next day to pick up that garbage can. Oh, they thought, man, they had a party here tonight. No, no party. It's just all gone. I took all the books that I had inherited from my mother. She had a great library, but it was books by Robert Lewis Stevenson. It was kidnapped, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. All of these literary giants, I mean, probably worth a fortune. And I took all the books and threw them away. I got through my record pile and I went and I had I had, and I think I still have those 45s of Elvis when he sang Sun Recording Studios, his first records. But I had all of those country songs, I had all of the Beatles songs. I took all that stuff and threw it in the trash. Probably threw away a lot of collector's items, a lot of money. I didn't want to hear it anymore. Still don't. If I see something on television, have y'all noticed that there's been an increase in commercials on TV? You know why that is? Television has taken a hit, my brother and sister. It really has. There are a lot of secular stations that are being bought up by conglomerates. Some of the stations here in Little Rock are having a hard time. And some of them have sold their permit to other conglomerate stations because, you know, they they they the money's not there anymore. So to help make up for the lack of funds, they have increased their advertising. They have to, you know, instead of seeing five commercials for a 30-minute program, now you'll see ten. And they're just, you know, 30 seconds or a bloop here and a blurp there. And they're having problems. And uh we had uh nine broadcasters that are on VTN. Nine broadcast ministries go off the air last year. They told us, they said we did we can't afford uh the airtime anymore. And it's because we're not being supported by the viewers. My brother and sister, let me remind you what we had to watch before we had Christian television. And you don't want to go back there. And so we started putting a spot on our network saying, if you like this program, write them and tell them and support it. Trying to get people to support the broadcaster as well as the station. So you have to hold on to these things, you don't want to let go. The power of the air, the ruler, and authority in the heavens now belongs to believers. Belongs to us. Doesn't belong to Satan. Go over to Colossians chapter 2, and I'm almost done. Colossians chapter 2. And let's look at verse 15. Colossians 2, verse 15. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. So they have been dethroned. They have been dismantled. We just need to realize that, and we need to stand our ground. Don't give up these airwaves. Uh if anything, we need to press towards to get more ways to deliver the gospel. More TV stations, more radio stations, more social media sites, not less. We can't be scared off. We have to stand up for what God has given us. I don't want to go back to the way it used to be, and we know God doesn't want us to go back to the corrupt uh world curriculum. He wants us to stay. Just look at the the word spirit. If you look it up, and I'll just give you three scriptures. Acts 2, 4, they were all filled with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit fell upon all of them. Spirit means current of air, a force of air or respiration. Ginny and I were talking when we were kids growing up. Of course, uh you some of you can identify with this. We didn't have air conditioning. Uh we had a uh a window, and you opened the window and let the air blow through. You had a window fan, ceiling fan, we didn't have air conditioning. Um our cars weren't air conditioned, our homes weren't air conditioned. But anything to get some wind to blow through was comforting. Amen? Well, spirit, current of air, is a refreshing. The force of air or respiration. I texted our I texted our general manager before we came out tonight, but he didn't he hadn't responded yet. I wanted to him to remind me how much wattage, how much power each one of our television stations uh needs to push our signal. Uh we push our signal, whoo, I don't know how many thousand square miles on those three three stations, but it takes a lot of power to push that signal, to push that air out to all the homes, cable systems, uh, etc. And uh one of the stations that we bought and rebuilt had to because it was uh channel 26 in Hot Springs. If you remember when Melvin Bell remodeled Hot Springs Bathhouse Row, well he and his wife divorced, it was all in the paper, and they had started Channel 26 in Hot Springs. And uh she got the TV station in the divorce settlement. And when I found that out, we contacted her because she didn't want it, she was trying to sell it, so we bought it. Uh and the antenna was up on Jack Mountain, one of the big mountains when you go through hot springs. So we went up there and found the antenna. It they had thrown it into the woods. You're talking millions of dollars here, and so we've got, but we had to have it retuned because it wouldn't fit the channel frequency. Our electric bill is thirty thousand dollars every month. How'd you like to have a thirty thousand dollar electric bill? But it takes that much to push that power to get that signal to all these places, and that's not counting the uh uh other efforts uh that we have to use to get the signal out there. In the beginning, we bought three old telephone towers to get our signal from England uh to Pine Bluff and then up to Jonesboro. Well, when the tornado came through here two years ago, it blew our main um transmitter, uh our tower over, bent it, just just we watched it on the camera, and the tornado went through, that tower went like that. But through God's grace and wisdom, and our great engineers, we were only off the air 24 hours because they got hooked up to um um fiber, fiber optics, and so we hooked all the three stations, fiber optics, and we're still doing it that way today. We the tower's back up now, but it's back up, and you have to push these signals through all of these um fiber optics and over the air is really the worst. Now, that tower that went over, it had a microwave dish on it that was maybe 10, 12 feet in diameter, and it weighed 500 pounds, and nobody knows to this day where that microwave dish went. We saw it leave the tower and it went sailing through the air like a frisbee, but we don't know where it landed. Uh, we all think that if the engineers think that it probably wound up in the Arkansas River because we hadn't seen it anywhere else. And anybody that had a 500-pound 12-foot dish landing in their front yard, they'd think they'd be invaded by aliens, you know. So they would have called somebody and let them know. So the spirit, the Holy Spirit, the current of air, a force of air, respiration. Acts 2.4, Luke 22, 32. Now I want to close with this Isaiah 55, 11. And I and all I'm trying to do is to get you to be praying, to be aware, uh, praying for support because television has uh truly changed. The younger generation does not watch TV. That's why we've had to move to social sites. And I know my granddaughter, she didn't, she didn't watch TV, and she was raised in it. And my great-grandson, he didn't watch TV either. So if you're gonna reach the 40 and undercrowd, then you're gonna have to go where they're watching, where are they getting their news, where are they getting their information? And that's what we're doing uh right now. YouTube TV is available, and and our network is on YouTube TV, but YouTube TV is not what you think it is. And they are uh now allowing television broadcast ministries on YouTube, but they won't allow Christian television ministries on there. So there are a lot of Christian television stations that have filed a lawsuit against them for discrimination because they're discriminating against Christian broadcasting. And the must-carry rules that apply to everything else don't apply to YouTube. So Satan's fighting, he's trying to stop the expansion of the gospel and the good news from being, you know, uh new applications. Look at Isaiah 55, 11. Here's what happens. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. My brother and sister, I don't know how much you know about our state, but when we started the uh Victor Television Networking, the Lord told us that that TV set was his window to pour himself out. And we have testimonies all the time of people, their lives are changed, and he told us we had to do this, it was part of our assignment. Arkansas is blessed, and I believe the VTN had something to do with it. Our governor, our lieutenant governor, our attorney general, land commissioner, secretary of state, and secretary of treasurer. I know them all. They're all born again. The treasurer used to be on our staff, John Thurston. He's spirit-filled. A lot of these senators that we have in our Arkansas legislature are born again spirit-filled Christians. Arkansas is the most pro-life state in America, five years running. Two-thirds of the homes in Arkansas have no mortgage on them. The state has no state debt. And under the administration of Sarah Huckleby Sanders, we have, I I'm not sure about the figures, but we have several billion dollars surplus in the Treasury. When her dad left office, Governor Mike Huckleby, who is now U.S. Ambassador to Israel, when he left office, there was a billion dollars in the in the Arkansas Treasury uh when he left office. Now there's almost a trillion dollars. So Arkansas is a blessed state. Oh, we still have problems, but people are leaving California at the rate of, you know, five hundred to thousand people a day, maybe a second. I don't know. I saw a commercial where the governor of Tennessee says, come on, come over to Tennessee and move over here. We'd love to have you. He said, we have 500 people a day that are moving to Tennessee. People in New York, Los Angeles, I feel sorry for them. They don't have any Christian television. Harry and Cheryl Salem are good friends of ours. Former Miss America and Harry used to run Old Roberts Ministries. They live in Palm Springs. And he said, we've lost all of our Christian broadcasting out here. There's no TBN, there's no Daystar, there's no nothing. They get VTN on Roku. Our son gets VTN in Nashville on Roku, and he live streams it. So we need to expand. No, I'm not taking an offering for VTN, but we need to expand the airwaves. What what whatever you know that we're doing, I know you guys are uh on not only television, but you're on Spanish television. To expand our outreach to people because it'll change their whole life. It'll change their thinking, it'll change uh if they'll listen to the Jeannie said, I don't, she said, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a VTN to watch every day. We get up watching it, we go to bed watching it, and uh, you know, it's changing people's lives. So the prince of the power of the air. You know who the prince is, you know what the power of the air is, and you know that God's word does not return void, it accomplishes that which he pleases. And so we've got to get this message across to people uh all over the country, all over Arkansas. Praise be to God. Let's everybody stand. Hallelujah. It is good to be in the house of the Lord with you and good to see you. Amen.
