We pray that each and everyone would be blessed on this service tonight Lord God, that yokes will be destroyed and burden would be lifted off the lives of your people Lord God. And Father God we just bless your name. And I ask everyone to repeat after me. We believe and we receive all the things that we pray for, on this day shall come to past in Jesus name. Amen, amen, amen! Halleluiah!

Woman: All of you, you don’t have to stop right there, keep on praising, he is good. Halleluiah, he’s a good God, all day long, all night long. Glory halleluiah! How many of you realized that as you come in those doors, you are leaving your problems at the door. So that means we are free up in the house of the Lord. That means all your burdens have been lifted. Whatever you thought you couldn’t handle, you left it at the altar when you walked in. So feel free to give God glory and praise as long as you are hearing the music and the word going for it, just praise him with your whole heart. Halleluiah because the Lord is good all the time, and all the time God is good. Halleluiah!

Come on and put your hands together tonight. Stand on your feet. The Bible says, the Lord is good and his mercy endures forever. How many of you believe it tonight? Halleluiah, come on clap those hands, all ye people and shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Halleluiah! He is good! Come on let’s say it. Lord you are good!

Well, good evening everyone and welcome once again to the Ark of Salvation. I trust that you will receive the blessing that you have come here for. This is the third night. I trust that you all have followed the instructions. You’ve been here all three nights. You gotten here on time and that you are paying attention. Pretty simple right? But any one of those can just really mess us up, missing anyone of those. So I'm just glad to see the faces, glad that you could join us on a Saturday night. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, this will be a weekend that will transform us and it will transform the Ark. And we are experiencing it already. So thank you for being a part of our history.

We don’t always have a Women’s Revival. We have different formats each year for our revival. We’ve had couple seminars, we’ve had health seminars, we’ve had financial seminars, we’ve had motivational speakers. So you are a part of history. You are helping to write it by being here because you are chosen people to be here tonight. So we are going to move on with our program and I would like to ask Miss Lyn Smith to come for our prayer. And immediately following that is Scripture by Miss Dorian Sanders.

- 7 -

Lyn Smith: Halleluiah everybody. Well as we draw into the Sabbath today. We want to give God glory and praises to his Sabbath today, his day of rest. Halleluiah! And as we draw to an end of our revival, it’s not over yet but we just want to say thank you Lord. Thank you Father for all that you have done these three days, that we have three nights rather that we have been here. And Father we ask you to—as we come before you, the throne of glory, the throne room oh Lord. We come before you, we thank you Jesus that we don’t have to go through the holy of holies. We don’t have to go behind the veil anymore because Jesus you made us that we can go boldly before the throne and ask for grace and mercy in our times of needs.

And Father we ask you that you do a Holy Ghost incision into the heart of the women who have come here and Father as you cut covenant with Abraham, you walked among the pieces. Father we ask that you walk among the hearts of the women who have come here. Father cut covenant with us again oh Lord. Cleanse the hearts of things that the world has put in to us. Father, cleanse the hearts and make us clean, white as snow. Give us right spirits oh Lord that we can receive the word that will be coming forth from the guest speaker tonight. Father we ask that you let your goodness fall. Open the gates of heaven and let your goodness fall down upon this sanctuary. And Father the glory from your goodness will empower the word that we’re going to receive tonight. All these we ask father in the mighty name and glorious name.—Jesus the Messiah, our righteousness, halleluiah, Amen.

Dorian Sanders: Thank you. Praise God. Everyone go ahead and get your programs out. I'm going to share with you today’s Scripture but not just any Scripture. I'm going to read to you verses from our very own Vitamin Verse. And for those of you who are unfamiliar, Vitamin Verse is a study program that was implemented to help learn and understand on Bible verse per week. Isn’t that awesome? You all go ahead and give that round of applause.

Now, Vitamin Verse covers seven basic areas, so remember this by heart. The word of course, faith, healing, relationship, obedience, prosperity, and of course salvation. Did I get all seven pastor? Give me an Amen.

Now listen church, I want to share this with you all. I'm sure that most us take some sort of vitamin or a nutritional supplement daily to help nourish our body but we also need to take something or to do something that will help nourish our mind and our spirit. And vitamin verse is an excellent source to do that. So for anyone that’s interested in this study program please visit VitaminVerse.com.

Now I'm going to go ahead and share five vitamin verses. This is our fifth week, like I said, it’s a study program and we are learning one verse per week. The very first one is not listed but it’s from the very first book of the chapter of the Bible. Genesis 1 which reads, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The second Vitamin verse is Philippians 4:13, and I am go ahead and read from the

bottom up. Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” Wee three, Philippians 3:13, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Week four, Psalms 119:11, “Thy word, have I here in my heart that I might not stand against thee”. Week five, Matthew 8:8, “The centurion answered and said, Lord I am not worthy that thou shouldest come unto my roof but speak the word only and my servant shall be healed.” The word of God for the people of God, praise be to God.

Tracy: At this time I would like for the beautiful Evangelist Walton to come forward and give us our welcome and immediately following her, we will have the lovely Miss Sabrina King to give us our announcements.

Miss Walton: God bless you. On behalf of the Ark of salvation, our pastors and the entire organization, I would like to welcome you on behalf of everyone. We are glad that you came tonight. We hope that you will be inspired and motivated to a greater work of God. Not only do I welcome you. I also welcome our special guest speaker. We are thankful for her anointing. We pray that here permeate this room. Make her mouth as a pen of a ready writer. Anoint her list – of clay that they may be endowed with powerful on high. That God would quicken her spirit and give her agility of wit and sharp mind that she will be able to articulate the oracles of God. We bind any spirit that may come against this revival and we pray for a live changing experience. That when we leave here we will shout like David.

I was glad when they said unto me, let us go unto the house of the Lord. We ask that you have a spectator spirit that you’ll shake it off right now because God needs to be praised. God wants to be praised and it doesn’t matter how you feel. The Bible says, put on the Lord Jesus, put them on. He will give you the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. We have to put on the Lord Jesus. And we need his grace to abound because some mother here is on her knees, her son is in jail. Some wife is going to turmoil, her marriage is going through hell. We ask that God will—Let his grace abound.

Let him bound and burn us with his grace. We need him. Let him know that we will have him and we will need him in the farthest of our afflictions, that we need him in the midst of our agony, that we need him when lights are low and crowds are thin. And if you have been inspired, if you have been inspired and you are ready to continue this, then we can continue this tomorrow at 11 0’clock. Feel free to come back tomorrow at 11 0”clock for our Sunday morning service, as we turn this thing over to the brothers and they do what they do, like they do. We welcome you to comeback again and again and again. God bless you.

Sabrina King: There are three things of obedience for this revival. The first one was—Be on time. The second was—Come each night and third one was—Pay

attention. It’s very importand to pay attention. So we must keep that in mind, to pay attention. Pease be sure to turn off all cell-phones. If you have cell-phones please turn them off. The nursery is open for any small kids that may make noise. To my right, straight down to the left is the nursery. Out regular service is on Sunday from 11:00 am to 12:30 noon with Pastor Nathaniel Bronner Jr. And the weekend word on Thursday from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm with Elijah Bronner.

Sunday school and Adult class is held at 10:00 am on Sunday. Intercessory Prayer begins at 10:25 am. Prayer hours is at noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Fitness Class are held Monday 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm and Thursday from 8:25 to 9:25 pm, thank you.

Tracy: You know the thing about being upfront is that, when you make any step or do something that’s not on the program that everyone knows it, except you maybe. And I didn’t realize it but I have skipped over our musical guest Regina Verden. So, what we’re going to do, is we are going to have the offering and I guess you’re Miss Verden. Where is Miss Verden? Okay. She is going to bless us in song during the offering and after the offering. How many songs do you have? Just one? We want you to sing as many as you want, so—at least during the offering and after the offering. Then we are going to introduce the speaker and you have to sing again so, three times. So since I skipped over you at the beginning of the program, you are not going to get a lot of rest in between songs so, but you’re prepared. Okay. But at this time we are going to take our offering and let us give thanks unto God.

We have instructions here to bow your head for 10 seconds and to just seek God for what you shall give. So let’s do that at this time. For some of us, we know that our instruction is to tithe, for others just maybe an offering, for others it maybe a tithe plus an offering. Whatever you’re doing though you are giving it by faith and you’re giving it just as a small, small, extremely minute, token of appreciation to God for all of his extreme, extreme blessings. He only asks for 10 percent yet he just multiplies and multiplies everything that comes back to us. So I'm going to ask Miss Verden to come forward.

Regina Verden: I'm so blessed. Come on everybody put your hands together. Come on and praise him with me. Oh, we bless your name Jesus. Come on.

(Hymn)Everybody say Blessed…Late in the midnight hour, God is going to turn around…

Tracy: Let us bow our heads. Dear heavenly Father we thank you so much for the ability to give God. We thank you for the sense to give and for just loving us God. We thank you for just practically chasing us down with your blessings God. When it seems like we don’t even know what’s going on, we’re blessed anyway. We thank

- 10 -

you God for just being so faithful to us, for giving us your mercy and your grace on a day-by-day basis. We thank you God. We would be nothing without you, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Regina Verden: Bless the name of Jesus. Come on let’s just continue to worship the name of Jesus. Lord you are awesome. You are so worthy. We give your all the glory. We magnify you. Holy God, oh my refuge. Come on you all, worship with me, worship. The only wise God I’ve seen. Oh we magnify your name.

(Hymn)Worthy…Worthy…to receive the praise…

Emcee: God is truly awesome in our lives and I would say that, that song was worth the wait in the program. It came at the right time. And I must say before I give the introduction that as we are in awe of God and everything that he does, no mater how old you are. He is still going to do something that you haven’t seen before. And during the course of this week—as I’ve been sitting—it feels I don’t know, it’s just been a couple of days but as I’ve been sitting in the balcony, I’ve truly been in awe of everything that I’ve seen transpire over these last two nights. I’ve seen some things that I haven’t seen before. And I’ve gotten a message that God is going to do some things that I haven’t seen before. And I must say that everyone has just been par excellent. The ushers—the ushers are in their usual uniform, we see them in these same suits every Sunday, the suits that you’ve seen the past few nights. But there’s just something about them for the past few nights, they’ve looked entirely different, just a big blow around them. Our singers, our dancers, our hostesses, everything has just been par excellent and of course, you the congregation. Everything has been superb first class and when we talk about things that you see, that you have not seen before, one of those things was the way that First Lady Simone spoke to us last night. So God is always full of surprises. I mean, you don’t want a boring God, do you? No, and when you came up here last night, you talked about the ill message you have been going through this week and you talked about the pain in your neck and shoulder. On the way that you described it, it’s the exact pain that I’ve had in my neck and shoulder all week. And when I heard that, when I heard her say that, that’s when I put it together. It was like, Oh—I didn’t even make a connection between that and the revival but when you said that you had that same pain, then it immediately clicked for me what was going on, but what was not going to happen, what was trying to go on. And not only—mine lasted, I would say it started Tuesday and by the time the Revival started on Thursday I was fine. But I had another weird small ailment that occurred and it was actually some kind of mouth sore that was preventing from forming certain words and letters, something like how am I going to get up there and talk on Saturday night if cannot say the words that I want to say. So I got over that. So those are just small items and I know I didn’t even mention them because they are just so small and I knew that it would just be a matter of days and

- 11 -

everything would be fine. But I just thought about the difference when I get an ailment and sing, when pastor C. Elijah gets an ailment. He can have a mosquito bite and he talks about it for a month. Not too long ago he had a scratch on his hand and I don’t—and I had to look at it everyday. He kind of asked me, “Want to see my scratch?” I'm like, “Not really but if I have to look at it then I’ll look at it.”

But I'm up here how to introduce who I'm going to call my new best friend. And I just saw her for the first time about 10 minutes ago when she walked out here and sat down. But when I progressed through the introduction, you will see why I call her that. When Pastor Nathaniel gave the first announcement about the revival and gave the names of the Pastor Cookye Rutledge. The first thing I thought about was, Wow, I really like her name, and I really do. Because when you think of a cookie, it has got to be something sweet right. Everybody is familiar with a cookie that brings you – your Pastor and you have great acolytes but cookie kind of keeps you on a level with everybody, on level playing field so to speak. But I really like your name. It just sounded very perky and like you are a fun person.

But Pastor Cookye Rutledge is a native of San Diego California. At the age of five years old, she heard the voice of the Lord call her to be his instrument. And while the Christian community believed her story, mainly because of the spiritual song that accompanied the call, no one really knew what to do with the young girl who had heard from God. But her mother wisely decided to keep her involved in church work and full of God’s word and she knew that God would work out his plan in her daughter. And for her part, her mother also made sure that she took Cookye to every revival, in healing, meeting within an hours drive at San Diego. It was wild in those meetings, as a young child looking at the sick and afflicted that Cookye knew she was called to a healing ministry.

She showed an early attitude for academics. This was encouraged by her mother who believed that women should be educated as well as men. After completing high school in San Diego, Cookye went on to receive her Bachelor’s form Pepperdine University in Malibu California and her Master of Education from Harvard University in Cambridge Massachusetts. So while completing her studies at Harvard, Cookye discerned that it was time to begin her ministry. She worked along side the church mothers at Regent Street Church of God in Christ during her four-year tenure in Boston. And one Sunday afternoon while spending time at the altar, one of the church mothers prophesied over her, “Your husband would be a Pastor, you are a Pastor’s wife.”

So once her studies were completed in Cambridge, Cookye returned home to live with her parents, through the guidance of a vision, God led her to Palos Verdes Faith Center to be trained under the healing ministry of Dr. Ed Dufresne. While there, God further instructed Cookie through a word of wisdom. Your ministry will include, one is the children.

- 12 -

Three years later Cookye left her home in California and traveled to Detroit to develop and organize a Christian school. She also founded the Works of Jesus Ministries while she sat there and began her healing ministry in Ernest. So she is known from an early age what she was called to do and stayed on that path. And she listens to all the prophecies and all the visions that came to her. And she has seen them come to pass and I'm sure there will be even more.

But the older I get and I do thank God that I am getting older, the more I understand how certain ideas and events and people who have been in your life. It all puts you on a path, and everybody has a different path and these things are put into motion centuries, before the world began to bring you to where you are today. It’s a convergence, if you want to use that word because all the paths, all the points are starting to come together. That’s when you start to understand things a little bit more. I wouldn’t say I'm at a crossroad or an intersection, I'm witnessing more of where I'm seeing how God has put things into motion and I wouldn’t understand it even I knew what would have happened but I understand it, the older I get and the more I see.

So, as Pastor Nathaniel laid out the programs for each night, he chose a moderator for each night and I like how—it seems as though each moderator had the most kindred spirited speaker to introduce. Stephanie had Dr. B., Oh she’s here. Well we’re glad to have you back this evening. Miss Simone had our speaker last night, and the reason I'm going to call you my new best friend is because I have four kids. I have three teenagers and a one-year old. So with the teenagers, we’ve started a long, long time ago with them. You have to go to college, you had a minimum, you have to go to college at a minimum. You can do whatever you want to do after that but you’ve got to go and you’ve got to finish. And with one of my kids, I don’t know where they are, but where are they?

So, we started out telling them they have to go to college and then, we refined it as she got a little bit older. So with my oldest daughter, you really just have to know her but she’s –she needs to go somewhere like New York or California just to be in the glyphs and glamour. My second—my son is, he likes sports and he is also very smart, so we said, okay well Duke would be a good school for you because it’s got academics, it’s got good sports teams, so you know, we’re just laying out colleges. There is this, you know, third or fourth grade and we’re just picking out schools. And with my second daughter, ever since about fourth or fifth grade, she has been saying that she wants to go to Harvard. And as I continued through her bio she has a daughter who is a sophomore at Harvard University as well. So she got her Masters through Harvard and her daughter attends Harvard. So, new best friend, I need you to take me through the steps that you went through to get your daughter into Harvard.

And today of course, she pastors in Fort Wayne Indiana with her husband, Pastor Rutledge. Please stand, they pastor the Fort Wayne Christian Center and she serves as the Co-Pastor under his loving and watchful guidance and encouragements. And I present to you, after our singer, Pastor Cookye Rutledge.

Regina Verden: It’s so wonderful to be here in the presence of the Lord. I like this church. I like this church. This is good ground, good ground. I guess you know I'm a worshiper, I love God with all of my heart, he healed me of cancer, the doctor said that—Yeah, but let me tell you that the doctor said I wasn’t going to sing anymore so, every chance I get, I give God all the glory. And I remember, see, I didn’t realize that God was choosing me and all this stuff and establishing me and all and I didn’t understand what was going on so, you know, what we do, we go to things and try to dissipate pain in our lives and I became a drug addict. Maybe this will help somebody.

But I remember the day when he healed me and delivered me and set me free from drugs, now I am hooked on Jesus! I don’t tell that everywhere I go because sometimes some people cannot handle it but want to let you know that God is the deliverer. Yes he is, yes he is, and everywhere I go, I want you to know, I want to let you know that he will take care of you. He will, he will, he will—whatever you need, whatever your desire is, whatever it is God will—Take care of you. That’s that simple. I don’t need a degree to say or to tell you that God will take good care of you. All you have to do is keep worshiping him, keep praising him, keep giving him glory, keep on magnifying him. Stay faithful, that’s why I like this church, just continue to serve and stay faithful. Say faithful! And that’s why I say…

(Hymn)Lord I will lift my eyes to the hills…

Cookye Rutledge: Wow! That is my absolute favorite song, my absolute favorite song. And I almost called the Ark last week to ask, “Could you have someone sing that” and the Holy Spirit told me, he said, you just let me handle all those things because he wanted me to handle this message for the aging. Wow! You may be seated, glory to God, glory to God—my absolute favorite song, glory to God!

I'm giving honor to God first of all then the Pastor Nate Bronner. Mother Bronner do you know something about Pastor Nater Bronner. I love you, I love you, you made him come. I just have to tell you this little bit about Pastor Nate Bronner before he was Pastor Nate Bronner. I want to go back in time about 25 years ago. Did you know him then Sister Simone?

He was a little bit resistant to be in church that Saturday evening. Just a little bit resistant we’ll say. But I always tell parents that’s why God put you in charge. Amen. You know, I'm an old fashion mother and I don’t believe in this stuff about,

- 14 -

you ask your kids if they want to go to church. No, you take them, even when their faces are clouded over and they are pouting and whatever, you take them. Because some things can be taught and other things have to be caught.

What a pleasure it is to be in the Ark tonight. So I give honor to Pastor Nate Bronner, Pastor C. Elijah and Pastor James—and the first ladies, First Lady Simone and First Lady Tracy, that’s my new best friend right? Okay, alright, I'm glad, and First Lady Stephanie, reverend Stephanie. Hi, reverend Stephanie, it’s good to see you. And I want to thank—before I begin, Miss Susan Ellis, where is sister? Thank you sweetie, you put up a lot with me, thank you—trying to coordinate everything and Sister Feliz Smith, who was running all over down to last night looking for me. Hi honey, thank you so much and Reverend Williams who transported us this evening. Where is reverend Williams. Thank you, thank you.

Usually I'm following my husband, but tonight he is following me. Pastor Ron Rutledge, who watches over me and tells me when I'm out of order and I appreciate it not immediately but I appreciate. You know, I think we should be honest. I don’t appreciate it immediately because the flesh doesn’t like it. The flesh doesn’t like being corrected. But it only takes me a few minutes to get back in and I’ve learned immediately though to say thank you, even when there are tears in my eyes because my husband corrects me the way I should be corrected. And it’s not easy, do you know what I mean, to receive it but it’s always good. So thank you Pastor. Halleluiah. Well, let’s pray and then we’ll get started.

Father in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this wonderful evening, this special time Father that you have planned. And Father I thank you, yes at those things Father that you have said will come to pass this evening Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Okay, you have your Bibles with you, so open your Bibles please to Mark 5. I'm going to start at the first verse and go and be led as the spirit of the Lord has led me because Pastor Nate Bronner said “I can do that”.

So in Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

- 15 -

5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Very, very interesting Scripture, Mark chapter 5, a very interesting Scripture about a man who had an unclean spirit. Now, when we see this word, unclean spirit, I know a lot of times people get a little bit annoyed because they think that we are going to have to talk in the church about things that maybe are a little bit uncomfortable. But that’s what the church is about.

We are to talk about things that are uncomfortable or we cannot grow. And so, I want you to know that this man who had an unclean spirit had a spirit of perversion, had a spirit of immorality. Now, I want you to know this. Here, the Bible says that he had been often bound with fetters and chains and the chains had been plucked asunder that the chains could not hold him. He had this supernatural strength and of course the strength was not from God. It was from these demons that had possession of him. Now I know we are in the 21st century and people don’t

- 16 -

like to talk about demonic spirits but they are real. And God wants us in the body of Christ to recognize them and to know what to do about them.

Now, you know, people are always trying to come at me after I minister with this thing about—well, you know you are too educated to believe that. Let me explain something to you. My spirit man is more educated my head. It has to be, it has to be. And you are in trouble if that’s not the case. God didn’t make you an intellectual. God made you a spirit. You are a spirit being, right? You have a soul, your mind, your will and emotions and you live in a physical body. And spirit beings, there are evil spirits beings out there. We know what happened when Lucifer was thrown out of heaven. I like to say he was kicked out of heaven but the Bible said he was thrown out. So I have to be scriptural about that. Although I really wish that Michael had kicked him out but alright, I’ll deal with the thrown out and he came out with a third of the heavenly host, made the decision, as my kids at school would see “The” to go with him.

And so that means that, in our earth realm, there are evil spirits. Now, we know that evil spirits that had this man under their power. You say “Why” because the Bible said, there he was thudding himself. I have babies at school everyday who have to wear long sleeves. Now, I know it’s cold in Indiana but in the summer, in April and May, when my babies are wearing long sleeves, I always go and I always check them because many of them had been thudding themselves. The Bible said that he was shrieking and he was screaming, thudding, and shrieking and screaming. You know how we have people who scream all the time, who shriek all the time?

And the Bible says that along with this, there was a spirit of self mutilation and torture. I said to my babies when they were thudding themselves, some of them now have devised this little thing where they get pencils instead. And put like initials into their arms and hands. Parents when you see that, you know that something bad has happened to your child and you had better not be in denial.

Now, I told you I'm an old fashioned mother. And so, when God gave me this gift of child, I asked the Father what he wanted me to do, how he wanted me to rear her. I recognized that her—that Father, you know, I'm talking like my husband wasn’t there, he was always there but I was the person on the frontline duty. He was at the church and men, pastor’s wives, you know what I'm talking about and yes they love us and whatever but he had other responsibilities. There are more people in the church than just Cookye and our daughter Ronnie Christina. And so, the Holy Spirit said to me, he said, “I want you to put everything that I put in to you into her”. He said, I’m going to pull you off the road, I used to be on the road and travel. He said, I'm going to pull you off the road until she is out of high school and that’s not what I said.

- 17 -

I said, Lord you have got to be kidding. This kid can’t even speak English. You know what I mean, you have to be kidding, I'm going to be pulled off the road and I can’t go and preach and do whatever. He says, oh yeah, I can teach Sunday school classes, my husband gave me permission to teach in Sunday school class. My husband gave me permission to have a healing school once a week, glory to God. But my primary responsibility was to mother. And you know how this day enfold, people consider that in today’s world.

Oh you’re just a mother. Yes, I'm a mother, what a tremendous ministry. Now let me tell you why is it a tremendous ministry mother because Satan is after our children. Yes, you’ll notice in the Bible that Herod came after Jesus when he was a baby, right? It’s easier to get them when they are small. Now, this is what God told me. He said, “Now, I want you to parent the way you’ve always preached. I want you to parent with enthusiasm. I want you to parent with that same zeal that you had when you were preaching.” And then after she goes away to college you can go out on the road again. And these were the reasons why. All of the slumber parties that our daughter attended were held at our house.

I'm telling you something about this thudding thing. The slumber parties were at our house. We chaperoned every party she went to, once she wanted—she was about 17 she wanted to go to a party, I said, Ronnie, I didn’t know anything about that party. She said, oh mother I decided not to tell you because I did not want to be a burden on you and daddy. I said, Daddy can’t go but Mommy will be ready, give me a few minutes, Mommy will be ready.

Let me explain something to you. Many, many, many of the homosexuals I know, and yes, I do have a ministry, the homosexuals. And my homosexual friends those have been delivered tell me that it wasn’t a choice Cookye. When I was little there was a person very often in the church. Can you say “In the Church”? Say it again, say, “In the Church”. There was a person in the church that my mother trusted to bring me home after church, that my mother trusted in the choir. And brother Lester Sumrall told us when he was alive that these spirits are transpired through transmission. There has to be transmission of those spirits.

Now, you know I'm not a doctor, I hear in the gay community, tell me this stuff about how they were born, but I'm just telling you about my friends who have, most of them now who have been converted and changed, some who were still trying to hang out there. I told them there are times—but they all tell me the same story that there was a person in their life who their parents trusted, who got a hold of them and that unclean spirit. Parents, the slumber parties need to be at your house.

Thudding themselves, children who are suddenly having all these nightmares and who are having depression and you don’t understand it. You need to ask the Father about that. You need to be wise. In our family, my husband and I have been both

- 18 -

accused, correctly so. You didn’t let Ronnie come and spend the night at our house and we’re family. I have been given and we all have been given and our children these precious treasures. And we are, the people who were suppose to oversee them and oversee their lives.

So yes, people accused us and we always said that’s right because we didn’t let her go and even to visit certain homes unless we were there, unless we were there. It was no sending her. People will try to be in denial about their brothers. People try to be in denial about your uncle. You know he’s a pervert. You know it. And then the fact that you would try to fake, you see the Devil, he’s a deceiver. You would try to think, well I know what he’s done in the past but he wouldn’t do that with my child, oh yeah he will. Oh yes he will.

How many times have I been in services and the Holy Spirit will say, I want to minister to women who had—who have been victimized in their lives or whatever and it’s basically in services where there are just women and they’ll come up and they’ll tell me these stories about things that have happened to them. Unclean spirit, and I’ve noticed, as I’ve ministered to women who are tatters, who are tatters and when I talk to them about their history, they will always, always say, it’s something that—a some kind of sexual immorality or perversion that went on and it was always with a family member or a close friend. Christians we have to do it Christ’s way. Amen.

I want you to notice in Mark 5:13, “And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and were choked in the sea.” At the end of that, unclean spirit, what that unclean spirit wants to do is to drive you to suicide. When I talk to people and minister the people who wanted to commit suicide, it’s generally something like this that’s going on in their lives. Now, I'm not being accusatory, the entrance of God’s word gives us light. God has just given us light. Some of you have heard this many, many times but you need to hear it again because it’s easy to be in denial because you know, the devil, I have to give him credit for this, the devil will come and he will say, “Well, you know that just couldn’t be.” I mean in church, they are talking about those things—try to get us religious. We are not religious we are spiritual. There is a difference.

But I want you to notice the good news about this, that all the demons in hell, not a legion, not 6,000 demons, not the suicide demon, not that demon of self mutilation, not that demon of perversion, not that whole demon that tormented him. Nothing could keep him from Jesus. Nothing could keep him from Jesus. Jesus told me a long time ago, I'm not embarrassed about the things that you do, I’ve seen it before. Jesus isn’t embarrassed. When you sin, we have to learn to run to Jesus, not away from Jesus, don’t go to the back of the church and I know it’s full tonight so I'm not

- 19 -

talking about you sitting in the back. But don’t go to the back of the church, when you sin come to the front, come to the altar where Jesus is waiting for you. Jesus is not in the business of condemning. Jesus is in the business of reconciling and restoring. Jesus sent me along with all the other ministers here tonight to say, he loves you, he accepts you, he forgives you. You are useful to him. You are useful to him. He needs you.

The next story in Mark chapter 5 is a story about the woman with the issue ofblood. So let’s go on that.

Mark 5:21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

What a wonderful thing to come to the Ark when you have someone who you know is sick, to bring them to the Ark, to go to their house to dress them and to bring them, I believe that God wants the Ark to have people brought in on the stretchers. I believe that God wants at the Ark people who are in their hospital gowns et ceterato be brought here by people of faith who knows that Jesus is the healer, that Jesus is the healer. It’s wonderful to have a church full of believers but it’s even more wonderful to have a church full of believer with each believer having brought a person who needs healing. That’s what Jesus wants to do. He wants to extend this wonderful party that we have, amen.

When I was on the airplane, I was sitting next to a man who kept drinking and drinking. So I knew that he was afraid to fly and so, I reached over and I said, “You know”, I told him my name and I said, “How are you doing?”, you know, introduced myself et cetera and then I said, “I see you are having a little problem”. “What do you mean?” I said, “Well, it seems to me that you are having a little disturbance about flying” and I said, I just wanted to offer my support. I said, “I’ll hold your hand and you’re going to be safe in the air” and he said, “Well, how do I know that?” I said, “Oh, because I’m a messenger of God” I said and “I'm going to a big family reunion there in Atlanta with my sisters and brothers and God’s going to make sure that I get there safely. We’re going to fly through, there is not going to be any disturbance. Everything’s going to be fine.” This man looked at me, and maybe because of he was full of alcohol, maybe it was the anointing, I don’t know. He said, “Okay”, put his hand in mine, we stayed there until he went to sleep. Jesus, Jesus!

- 20 -

Jesus wants us to go about as he did teaching and preaching and healing. Jesus wants us telling people that Jesus is the healer. You know, I’m all for prosperity. Praise God for prosperity, praise God for all of that. We need money don’t we to do, to put out the gospel but if you are sick in your body, you’re not going to be able to spend that money. So we’re going to have to do a lot of teaching on both prosperity and a lot of teaching on healing and you’re the ones to do it.

So, here is Jairus and he is talking to Jesus but guess what happens. There was a certain woman, which had an issue of blood, 12 years and had suffered many things with many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing better but rather be worse. Look at that, her money went because of her sickness. But when she heard of Jesus, she came in this multitude behind and touched his garment for she said, if I may but touch his clothes I shall be whole. This woman came out to see Jesus despite the fact that she wasn’t supposed to come and see him. You know when you invite people to be healed, a lot of times, they think they have to dress up or they think they have to look a certain way. You bring them regardless of how they smell, regardless of how they’re dressed, regardless of how they look. That means nothing to Jesus. Jesus wants them. This woman would have been killed, if the priest or so-called priest, into a religious kinds of things had known about her. But then there was Jesus.

So she took a risk. She came out knowing that she could be killed, knowing that she could be stoned but she was going to Jesus. And look what Jesus did, look what Jesus did. He took time out from Jairus to talk to this woman, to talk to this woman. I think she had been reading Malachi, that the son of God was going to rise with healing in his wings. I think she had been talking to some other women and they said, Even if you can get close to the master, even if you cannot get close to this healer, they say because he’s a priest that if you can just touch the hem of his garment, touch that –you will be healed. Wonderful Jesus.

There was a woman who had cancer and could not come to my healing services. And so, the Holy Spirit told me that day. He said, when you finished preaching today, ministry in our healing, I want you to take off your dress and I want you to put it in a bag, don’t wash it and I want you to take it to her. And I want you to wrap her in it. See, the priest used to wear those aprons. We don’t think they look good with our outfits, right? But they used to wear them because as your ministry in the word of God, the anointing of God comes upon you and that anointing goes through your body and into your clothing. As you’ve been here tonight and as you are here tonight, Oh Halleluiah! The anointing of God is going into your clothing in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. Halleluiah! For the son of righteousness is arising and there is healing in his garments. There is healing in his garment, there is healing in his garment, there is healing in his garments. Glory, glory to God!

- 21 -

She rehearsed what she was going to do because she believed that Jesus was the healer. We cannot say it too much, Jesus is the healer. I have to tell my friends that Jesus is the healer. I tell people who come from churches where it was not taught, Jesus is the healer. You see, thinking about Daddy tonight and I had to laugh because my Daddy, being given my bio because Daddy, a wonderful man who was home and all that good stuff, good provider. But Daddy didn’t believe in Jesus the healer, he didn’t believe on women preachers.

Come on all, you know what I mean. And so Mommy Joanna, from who my name—she and the ladies who believed in Jesus the healer, she’d get up in the morning, she fixes Daddy’s dinner and then they get in the car and they drive somewhere to see brother old Roberts, camp meeting. And I just knew it was a secret because of the way they were acting, you know what I mean. And then we would be back home by five o’clock and Daddy always you know insisted of course that we were, you know dressed for dinner and whatever. We would be dressed for dinner, you know the children looking happy. Mother was even more happy because she had been under that anointing.

And you know people have talked to me and said, well, your mother was not under submission to her husband. I leave that to God and my mother. The results have been good in my life. I found out about Jesus the healer. And before Daddy went to heaven he was 88, we have had 17 years—he was 25 years older than mom. We had 17 years of silence, and this is for some of you women, Daddy would not talk to me because he wanted an attorney. I was in law school. Daddy didn’t want any woman preacher and so, the people at church said that they really thought I had gotten into some kind of a simple whatever because Daddy just wouldn’t talk for about 17 years. It was excruciatingly painful because I was a Daddy’s girl and I loved my Daddy.

But the heavenly Father had a higher calling in my life, I had a higher calling in my life and a few days before Daddy went to heaven we were having this heart to heart and I just knew Daddy was going to say, “You know Cookye, I was wrong because” that’s what people—isn’t that what people are suppose to do before they go to heaven, say I was wrong and Daddy didn’t and so, I eulogized my Dad just insisted, their church wasn’t—we were not accustomed to this. I said, well I really feel I should and so they didn’t argue after all, they felt it last time so just let her do it. And it was probably, I don’t know, a few months later and I was just sort of thinking about Daddy, how much I missed him and God said to me, I talked to your Father and now he understands. I talked to your Father and now he understands. And I cried like a baby, I was just, Oh God thank you for taking care of it. That’s for some of you who are letting people in your family hold you back from the call that God has on your life.

You better get up there and preach the gospel. You better carry that good news where God has told you. You better forget about what your family has said to you,

- 22 -

what God has called you to do. You are free in Jesus’ name to do what God has called you to do. And my Father was just in love with his little grandchildren, you know and the oldest grandchild Patrice is a woman preacher. My niece who I'm about to ordain is a woman preacher. We laugh about it all the time. Do what God has told you to do. Don’t look for their approval of your relatives and your friends, amen. Yeah, talk to your pastor he’s going to tell you that. He is going to tell you. If God has placed it in your heart, go ahead and do it. Amen.

Let’s finish up with Jairus. So the woman stops and she’s like I am. My husband says in church he is King James and I'm amplified. That’s true, he is King James and I'm amplified. So this woman just has to tell Jesus her whole story. When I was little this is what happened. And then I grew up and then I grew up and this is what happened and then I started to have this flow of blood and then it wouldn’t stop and on and on. Jairus in the mean time has a daughter who is at the point of death. And Jesus is just listening to the woman. Isn’t that wonderful women that Jesus would listen to us, that Jesus would listen to us.

And then, in the 35th verse, “While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Now, Pastor Nate the Holy Spirit told me that this particular Scripture is just for you. So I'm calling you out again, 25 years later.

5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

So he is calling you Pastor Bronner and you Pastor C. Elijah and you Pastor James to raise the dead. There will come a time sayeth the Lord when I will place it in your spirit that it is time to go forth in this new stage of your ministry. I’ve been preparing you and you have been saying, Yes Lord, yes Lord I will do what you tell me to do. And sayeth the Lord, you will say yes again. Yes.

See, we say we want to see the glory of the Lord amen. You cannot continue in the healing ministry and not have at some point in that healing ministry somebody come who is going to die in the service. It’s just impossible. The man that I trained under Pastor Ed Dufrain Palos Verdes, tremendous signs and wonders and healing ministry and he was traveling with brothers Lester Sumrall and they were in some place. And they got to this village, wherever they were in the Philippines or whatever and Brother Sumrall said to him, Ed, they said a man died in there go and raise him up. My pastor was saying, thinking to himself, you didn’t give me

- 23 -

any training on raising the dead. But he knew better than to say that to Brother Sumrall.

And so, what he did instead was he went in and he remembered the Scripture, right? And he said to the man, I command you in Jesus’ name. I command you to come back, your spirit to come back into your body. See, we make it sound really religious but it’s actually the calling of the spirit man that has gone to heaven back. And the man testified that he was with Jesus and he was just so happy. Oh I'm with Jesus, I'm having a good time, we are on heaven. And all of a sudden he saw, Jesus let him see in the earth and there was brother Dufrain saying I command you in Jesus’ name to come back. And Jesus said, you have to go back because my servant says it, because my servant says it.

Now, I know when the Holy Spirit was talking to me and he is talking to me more and more about this. We believe in salvation because you’ve heard the sermons preached on it all the time. We believe in healing because you hear the sermons and we’ve got to start teaching about raising the dead. We can’t back away from any of God’s word and so, I was trying to be intellectual with God and I said to him, now Father don’t you think we need some balance. He said, Balance, nobody is out there even trying to raise the dead. Balance is when we are out—No! No body is even doing that. Because even though we’ve seen God has not given us a spirit of fear, we have it. Oh!

Let me tell you. I decided this because the Holy Spirit told me, he said there’s no need for you to try to put on heirs because everybody knows you’re fanatic. When there are ice storms in Fort Wayne, we go to church. When there’s snow storms we go to church. When the cities close down we go to church. He says, your neighbors know you're fanatic. The people you are working with know you’re fanatics so you might as well be a fan. Root word is ‘fan’ might as well be a fanatic for the Lord. Amen.

Now let me tell you just the end of this. I’ve made a decision and this is what I’ve told the people at Fort Wayne Christian Center. We’re in a church service or you hear that Cookye has died you better come raise me up. You better come raise me up because you call for my spirit and I’m coming back. Why is it in the Bible? Oh the greater words, come on now. Amen. And so as we meditate and I am meditating these scriptures. I'm meditating these scriptures because I'm tired of Satan stealing from the body of Christ. I'm tired of him taking people out of our congregations, out of our families. When Jesus has said these greater works, we will do.

Glory to God, glory to God. So God has me practicing. I'm practicing on birds, oh you just. How do you practice? I'm practicing on gold fish. Oh yeah. I'm practicing. And it’s so beautiful the little children at church are helping me. They’ll come, Pastor Cookye, my dog is really, really sick about to die. Come over. I'm

- 24 -

practicing. I'm going to get this right. So that when the time comes, I'm going to be ready.

Now, there is a baby who has something wrong with its, I don’t know like jaw mouth something like that. Is the mother of that child here? Are you here? A baby, there’s a baby that’s really really sick and I'm supposed to give a healing cloth to the mother or aunt or whoever it is. A baby. Thank you Jesus, glory to God. Thank you Jesus, glory to God. Is that you honey? That’s not you okay. There’s somebody, there’s a baby that’s someone is suppose to take a healing cloth to in the name of Jesus, okay praise your name Jesus. Praise your name Jesus. I saw it this week, I saw that this week so I know it, I know it’s here halleluiah, a baby glory to God. Thank you Father, thank you Father glory to God.

It’s your grand baby, yeah, I saw this on Tuesday, yeah—in constant pain, he told me on Tuesday to—actually I wish I could cut off a part of what I have and give it to you. But we’re going to—According to Acts 19:12, the power of God goes into this healing cloth. Lay this cloth on your baby. Halleluiah! You remember the Ark, be sure to come back and tell Pastor about it okay. Halleluiah! Thank you Jesus. Who are the reluctant ministers? The people that God has called to ministry but you’re holding back because I don’t know, whatever. Come on, I'm afraid, I don’t want people to—

You will never has so much fun as ministry being persecuted, being talked about. I have been the subject of wonderful conversations. But Jesus has called you, Mark chapter 16, says that you start in your own backyard, in your own front yard, you start at your work place, you start with your family, you start with the people in your neighborhood. I'm not even a great cook but I’ll bake stuff and take it to people. Any sneaky way to get into their homes to minister to them, to minister what they already need, to minister healing to them but if I want to minister healing which I don’t because you know, healing ministry that sounds really weird. But I’ll say, listen I baked something. I want to bring this—Oh yeah, we received it and then I got there and then I ministered to them. God wants you to start out in that way and then as you continue in that way and talk to your pastor, he’ll give you assignments to do. I still clean the toilets at my church. We have a lot of toilets. I still clean the bathrooms, part of that ministry.

But God increasingly wants us in the ministry of helps, of being that help and support to our Pastors at our own church. You believe you have ministry, you want to start right there in your local church, doing everything that your hands have. Amen, in the name of Jesus. Put your hands up to Jesus.

Now Father in the name of Jesus, these ones Father who believe they have been called and Father you’ve said that the harvest, yes Father, that harvest is great and you need every willing person Father to go into their world and preach the gospel. I thank you Father after this night in the name of Jesus, they will be un-afraid, un-

- 25 -

afraid Father. They will go forth Father with the word in their mouths Father, like a two-edged sword in their hands Father, yes Father into the world of darkness and bring people to this marvelous light, bring people to the Ark of safety in Jesus’ name, in Jesus’ name, glory halleluiah, glory halleluiah. Now you get busy. From this moment on, you get busy, glory halleluiah. You may be seated. Glory halleluiah, halleluiah.

Come on my new best friend. Of course I'm not going to tell you how you are going to get your—

Female: It was my neighbor’s daughter, the baby with the face.

Oh, come here honey. The baby is healed in Jesus name. Are you going to do what God has called you to do because God has called you, you know he has. Whatever God has called you to do, do it. It won’t be like someone else does it. It will be in your special touch, with your own special personality, the work that God has for you to do. Halleluiah, I love you, I love you.

So these hands that lay hands on the sick will continue but with greater anointing and force and the great names that he has in stored for you—yet with a little bit of persecution because you’re bold, because you’ll do what he tells you to do. And yes, you’ll make mistakes along the way but guess what, you’re out there and you’re doing it and he will cover those mistakes and people will come running to you. They will come running to you for healing and you will tell them, Jesus is the healer and I'm the instrument. In Jesus name, glory to God, glory to God.

So when I was a little girl there I was, brother Roberts, Allan, everybody, people I don’t even know, sister Catherine Coleman, Mama took me everywhere, Daddy never knew. It was our secret until I was like a teenager. So, who are those people in here who have that desire to lay hands on – who really, when you see somebody laying hands on the sick, you want to do it too, come on raise your hands if you want to do it, come on up here, come on up here. Halleluiah! Of course you can do this, oh gosh, look at the army. Oh my, an army.

Now, not just Satan but your own flesh is going to try to hold your back from laying hands on the sick, right. Because you are going to go to somebody and lay your hands on them or whatever and then people are going to talk about you and then they are going to start saying you belong to a cult and they’ll always say—tell me about a cult, can you give me the definition of a cult, they never can’t so, right, and people are going to start harassing you a little bit and your relatives—but Mark chapter 16 says, you are to lay hands on the sick and they will receive your healing. Jesus commissioned all of his believers to do that, all of his disciples to do that. And so, stretch your hands up to the heaven, stretch your hands up to heaven and in the name of Jesus, come on Pastor Bronners, come on Pastors, let’s release the anointing upon these people.

- 26 -

Glory to God, in the name of Jesus we release the healing power of God into your bodies, into those hands, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, the healing power of God. Yes, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, in the name, in the name, in the name of Jesus, I release the healing power of God into your hands, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. I need to get to the back, how can I get to the back? In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, he wants me to touch you, in the name, in the name of Jesus, glory, in the name, in the name of Jesus, glory, the healing and anointing on my life, be transferred to you, and to you, and to you, in the name, in the name, in the name—

As the sun of righteousness arises, just healing, the sun of righteousness arises, there is healing in his wings, healing—in the name, I release you, in the name, in the name, in the name, in the name of Jesus, I release God’s healing power, yes, yes, let the anointing to heal the sick, to raise the dead, in the name of Jesus, in the name, in the name of Jesus, in the name, in the name of Jesus, I release God’s healing power, the anointing, the anointing, in the name of Jesus, in the name, in the name of Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Oh yes! You said it Jesus in the name, in the name, in the name, in the name heal the sick, heal the sick, heal the sick, raise the dead in Jesus name, in Jesus name halleluiah! Oh halleluiah! Heal the sick in Jesus name. In Jesus name heal the sick.

Doesn’t matter about the persecution, obey Jesus. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. That’s right, hold into my garments, there is healing power in them, glory halleluiah, touch the garments, yes, there is healing power in them, glory to God. Glory to God.

(Hymn)I’ll obey Jesus…

Nathaniel Bronner Jr.: As I walked in tonight, before the service and when I looked at the back and saw three women with Jesus, literally tears came into my eyes and I just realized that even at his resurrection there were three women with Jesus. And maybe the reason God told me, no man, is because even when Jesus came back from the dead, there were only three women. And perhaps it is a sign and a signal of a new power coming back into this church. Pastor Cookye Rutledge, I thank you for the impartation, not just to me but upon those here attending and for what you did 25 years ago. I thank you for the word that brothers could hear. They’ve heard it before. I’ve spoken it in this church. God told me, one day you’ll have the ability to raise the dead, but your problem, and that’s why you always have to understand the problem, God has a promise but in front of every promise is always a problem.

There is a universal spiritual truth, every promise is a problem but God always gives a provision for the problem. He said, one day you’ll have the power to raise

- 27 -

the dead, but that’s not your problem, because that’s not your power, that’s mine. He said your problem is going to be handling the pride that goes along with it. God knows where your weaknesses and your strengths and he’ll often tell you in advance some things you have to work on and to deal with, if you ever want to move into the destiny where God asks you to go.

Many of you came here today for—you came forward when she called for those who had ministry burning in your heart and those who wanted the laying on of hands and yet that is a promise, it is a gift but it also comes with a problem. And if you’re not willing to address the problem, you’ll never get the promise. So, you have to understand and you have to realize some of the obstacles that you will have to overcome and to deal with and he gave you some keys to that and this has been a continual flow of these three nights.

The first two dealt with birth and she dealt with rearing. Because if you give birth to something and you don’t know how to rear it, you have no business having it. So the first two nights dealt with birth and tonight dealt with how to rear what you’ve given birth to. Many of you who moved forward in ministry but I want you to follow her examples. She said, she follows her husband everywhere and she said, she did not leave the house. She came out of ministry to take care of her home and then went back into ministry when the child left the house going off to college. So she handles some priorities first before she went out in the ministry. So, when you want the healing, you and your house first. Lay hands on the folk close to you first and then move out into ministry.

So Pastor Cookye I am so thankful for you. And I still remember those, I think it has been 27 years ago, a long, long time but I have recognized something even with myself. I am more feminine in power, I know that, even the first time I was knocked down and the Holy Spirit it was a woman who laid hands on me. I don’t know, maybe some of you, I just respond better to a woman’s touch, I’m just sorry, I just do, I just do. Men sometimes, they don’t cut it with me. I just respond better to a woman’s touch. Just pure and simple as that. So, I thank you for coming and praising and blessing us tonight with that word and with that message and with that anointing touch. And it even gives us direction of where we are going to—I have not announced this during any of the other nights of the revival. But for those who attend the Ark, we know that God heals and we have it once per month and it is always on the first Sunday of the Biblical Month. Not the first Sunday of our Gregorian Calendar month. It’s on the first Sunday of the Biblical Month, with that month God said.

And I didn’t even know this when I planned for the revival. It was only a few weeks ago that I happened to check it and to see. I said God heals, comes on the Sunday following the revival. So, it’s tomorrow night and when I found that out, I asked Pastor Cookye if she could stay for God Heals. So she will be here tomorrow night. Now there’s one thing about God Heals, you do have to be here on time or you

- 28 -

cannot get in. It’s something that God spoke. He said seal the doors at 7:00 pm. So if you’re coming up the steps, at 7:00 the door will be locked. You have to be inside the Ark, we use an atomic clock, if it’s 7:01, I'm sorry. And this is the divine command. We have to seal those doors. You have to be here based on time, you’ve got to be here.

So, Pastor Cookye Rutledge will be here tomorrow. So be inside of the Ark early. If you need healing, the lady who gave me, who talked to me and she came up the steps, would you come forward right quick. Where are you? I just want you to just, for just a second, just tell the people what you told me as you came into the Ark today.

Female: Thank you Jesus. The only thing I can say right now is, Wow! I was diagnosed with cancer in the first part of the year and I want to try to make a long story short. But God is good. God is good. Okay, when the doctor told me that I had cancer, he said I had cancer in my ovaries and my kidneys. I said okay, I'm getting ready to die. So I didn’t tell anybody for like a week. And I went to work and everything, excuse me. And I went to work, I rode around, worked, and everything. You know, like everything was alright. And I talked to my friend Carolyn, excuse me. She comes to this church, Carolyn and I know I'm surrounded with angles because, I’m a member of the Word of Faith okay and when I—the week before surgery, I was trying to get to church. I said I have to get to church and hear the word but my side was hurting so bad and the devil was telling me to turn around but I said, No! I'm going to press on.

So when I got to church bishop was preaching on prevailing faith and so okay, I mean I don’t care, I’ll listen to that. So my friend told me, she said, Nida, she said you’ve got to come to the healing. I said, what healing. She said at the church, you know we have a healing at the church on Sundays and I said Girl, okay, it’s alright. So I came and this man right here in the green suit. I said – I said to myself, I said, the preacher is not going to lay hands on me. You know I'm being for real. Okay, so I walked up and I was like, okay, the devil is telling me, you are not going to do nothing. Before that man got three words, I was laying flat on the floor. And I said, okay. But to make a long story short, when I had my first surgery, right after the healing, they went in, they didn’t find no cancer.

Oh Lord have mercy. Okay, seven days after that, I went in on the 22nd. Let me tell you something before I tell you this. I was lying in that bed with that tape. I'm telling you if you don’t believe in Jesus now, by the time he gets through with you, you will. I was lying in my bed in that hospital bed and my bet started to move. I was listening, I had the tape, I listened to that tape every night, every night. And the bed started moving, I said, no wonder I can’t get no sleep, I said the bed kept going baby, you know that is something that they have nowadays. Okay, but when I got home God said you’re going to listen and you’re going to feel me. I was laying in my—I got a heavy artillery. My bed, you can’t move it, okay. But I was laying

- 29 -

there listening to my tape, the healing CD and God moved that bed, oh I was floating, I was floating.

I was floating and after I had my second—where they took my right kidney, but the doctor came in the room and he said, your cancer was contained inside of the kidney, no chemo, no nothing, cancer free, cancer free, and I thank you. If you don’t believe in Jesus, then have your own life experience.

Nathaniel Bronner Jr.: Amen. No, I don’t know about that, making your bed float. I hadn’t heard that one.

Female: You know, I believe in angels and I believe that those were the angles all around and you know, I love God so much and I thank you for this program. I told Carolyn and I said, I just can’t wait to come and you know, I love him so much and I even love him more than I ever had in my life.

Nathaniel Bronner Jr: Pastor Rutledge, I even have to thank you for the CD. I told you, the reason that I recorded that CD was from the inspiration. When I called you and told you that we were beginning this program at the church, you sent me free of charge. A lot of your CDs, I was out jogging, listening to it and that’s where the inspiration came. I had a lot of musical background for making R&B records way back. That what I was doing when I came first time with the word, prophecy and healing, so when I listen to yours—I knew that that style put to music would have a different—and that’s what inspired me to do it. So, you were the inspiration and the seed of a lot. You really were, and I thank you for that. And the power with God he was just here in the church, Prophet Dexter. He fills in if I'm not here. One of us will always be here, it’s not us, it’s not us, it is the power of God.

So it will be here at 7:00 pm tomorrow. You need to be inside of the Ark before 7:00 pm and Cookye Rutledge will be here with us and I'm going to turn actually the service over to her and let her conduct the service on tomorrow. Now she has a lot of her material here. It’s on the table, it will be on the table on the back. You need to get some, this is the stuff that inspired me. If you need healing, you need to listen to it and let this filter in and get in your system. It’s powerful and it’s a great gift that God has bestowed upon her and I just, I thank you for it. I thank you for what you’ve spoken in here tonight over us and just the charge that you gave and my brothers are not going to go with me to the funeral home next time.

And that is a real story now. You know I'm not kidding about that. We did have a member here who died and we got the message one night and we were out somewhere and I told my brother, I said look, we’re suppose to have the power to raise the dead. So let’s go that funeral home. And it was night time. I said let’s go to that funeral home and they called up and they really weren’t—because you have a right. It’s not a matter being in balance, it’s not done at all. No one even tries anymore and I said, Look what have we got to lose by trying and they called up to

- 30 -

the funeral home and they said, they just finished embalming. I said, Ooops! That’s it! So, we will have a new charge and you begin with the heavy duty spiritual stuff often times with the small stuff.

So remember tomorrow at 7:00 pm God Heals, we are winding down to the end of the three women with Jesus and hasn’t it been phenomenal. It has literally gone beyond my wildest expectation. We have our speaker from the first night Dr. Karen Betaudier, if you would just stand and turn around and let them see you. Amen.

The speaker from last night they have to minister in the morning so they have to leave this morning or else they would have been with us also but it has been truly—it has been a blessing beyond measure and I have no doubt in my mind that God is going to bless those who participated and who attended today. And as I saw the picture of the three women with Jesus, it just kind of laid on my heart to produce this thing and to promote those three women. I think what they have to offer to the world is phenomenal. And there is a feminine touch when properly administered and I must admit now just as Pastor Rutledge talked about some of the perversion spirits are in the church and I thank God for brother Ivan, I really do.

A good number, the church is to be honest about it, they got spirits over the music department. I know it and you know it. I’m just telling you like it is. So, why are you so shocked when you have put spirits over your praise and worship? Why are you so shocked that I'm saying forth – and molest your children. I mean what’s so shocking about that? You have set a man up in authority that you know sleeping with another man, so why are you so shocked that some perverted spirit—and now that perversion has gotten into the pastors because a whole lot of them are on the down low. So why are you so shocked about that? That’s why you can’t let this stuff creep in even by the drop. When it creeps in it gets in and it pollutes the whole thing.

So I just thank you for being bold enough to say what said because they know it’s true. And mothers you are charged with protecting your children. My wife even at a point, she came to me and my son was suppose to go to a party, a little birthday party. And my wife she said, “I had a dream about that house and there are nice people”, I said, “You had that dream? He’s not going.” I don’t care how nice they look. I don’t care what the house is like. I don’t care how educated they are. I don’t care how fluent they may appear to be. I said, “If you had that dream about our child in that house. He’s not going.” He didn’t go. You can call them and make whatever kind of excuse you want. And she said, What are they going to say? I don’t care what they say. He is not going. And there are some well to do educated people with high positions and I got some doubts about their Daddy and I won’t let my child go over that house. Because I’ve got some questions about it. And if you got questions, there’s something that tickles in your spirit—

- 31 -

You understand what I'm talking about, you know. And you don’t quite know for sure but there’s something that tickles in your spirit that this man is not quite right. Women as a general rule, never molest children. It’s always men. You don’t have to worry about women. It’s all as 99.9% of the time is always men.

The first message we had was Dr. Betaudier who preached “WOWED” Women On Watch Expecting Delivery and Pastor James told me, when he heard that ED, the first thing—because we are in the natural products. We understand medical—the medical term, what ED means is Erectile Dysfunction. And one of the problems why women cannot have delivery is because of erectile dysfunction. Men won’t stand up and when a man won’t stand up society cannot deliver what it is supposed to deliver. And the revival for next year, God has already revealed to me. It will begin on October 21st, so put that in your calendar for next year. But there is a completion that God wants to even bring unto this. And I just thank the three women with Jesus for being obedient and for coming and ministering from their heart and their experience, and I just felt it.

There was something about this thing that just went straight through to my soul. I just felt it. And God has changed me and even the first night, when my wife came home and I told my wife, I said to her, “Look, there has been a lot of women now. I'm shaking all these beautiful women’s hands—then I stroke my wife and says I’m tired.” But she began to then pour out, for God has spoken to her and all of these stuff and she sat and talked for an hour how God has spoken to her and after she finished she said, “I don’t talk this long, we could have done something.” But my wife was so filled with the power of this revival.

My mother called ma and she said, “I had to get up in the middle of the night and go down and get me half a sleeping pill.” She said, this thing is so charged, I couldn’t even go to sleep at night. It was something about it. I don’t know how many of you all experienced it but when you got home you couldn’t even go to sleep. It is the power of the anointing and it is the power of God that has infused into you. And I believe everyone who really pressed their way to this, even those who were late. I stayed at the door. I said I would leave exactly at seven because anyone who came after seven—but God just spoke to me, I want you to just represent grace. Because he said you need grace because you don’t everything right. And I do, I need grace. He says I want you to just stand at the door beyond time but you got to—they are going to be locked tomorrow night.

But indeed these three nights, it has been absolutely phenomenal and there are those of you, you’ve received an anointing. God has spoken some things to you. For God Heals tomorrow, I want to ask Tracy to stand up there with us. You see when God speaks a word to you, it is not just for you to let sit dormant. When God speaks and he empowers—asking you to do something with it. And many of us we have been given words but yet—she told those of you who came from ministry to start working where you are. Often times, when we think of ministry, what we want to

- 32 -

do is stand right here. In front of all of the people and get glory, that’s what we want to do. God wants you to work.

Did you hear what she talked about what she did and how she worked around the church? When I began in ministry it was not preaching. I began promoting my brother Dale. That was my job. I made a cassette tapes, I sit there faithfully. I was behind that video camera every time—and I was never late, not one time becausedid he not get up to speak that I wasn’t there running the camera. I did this for years and years and years and years. It was ministry. But I was not in front of the camera I was behind it. So for those of you who are called into ministry, don’t think that you just got to stand up in the pulpit and preach. Ministry is service to the people wherever it is. If you were ushering, if you are helping someone at the steps that you are passing out, whatever you are doing, ministry is serving the people. So for those who have received the anointing of ministry and the anointing of healing and laying on of hands God opened up avenues for you to do this but it often will not uncomfortable or acceptable environments.

The place where he may want you to lay hands on somebody, you may say, “Oh my goodness not here and not now”. So when God gives you a gift, it is to take not into the sanctified acceptance of the church walls but out into the world where it is truly needed. And tonight we held off even the call for salvation until the very last night. You can do miracles. Lord, Lord, did not we perform miracles in your name? Didn’t we heal the sick, raise the dead? Didn’t we do miracles in your name? Get away from me, the workers of inequity, I never knew you. The real gift is the acceptance of salvation. It is not the ability to perform miracles because salvation is the greatest miracle.

These bodies are destined to die. You can prolong it but they are destined to die, I don’t care, but this body is going to dust. But the eternal spirit is the real miracle and I would rather have my body river with cancer and die tomorrow than to live to be a hundred and burn in hell forever.

So the real miracle, now God has commissioned me to teach on healing and that’s—tomorrow is the first Sunday so I’m not preaching excitable emotional sermon. Tomorrow is going to be some practical stuff dealing with maintaining your health. I want to be able to have the ability to heal you but my greatest desire and God’s desire is for you to not get sick in the first place. That’s my charge right now.

But the greatest miracle is salvation and if you don’t have that, you don’t have anything. And there are those of you who have attended this revival and you’re not sure about your salvation because I am sure that the people who said, “Lord, Lord did not we do miracles in your name?” They come down for salvation, they were doing miracles, they weren’t ordinary, they were doing miracles. But somehow in their heart, they have never truly accepted Christ. They just did the walk. And if you are sitting here today and you are not sure in your heart but you want to open

- 33 -

your heart and you want to accept our Lord in Jesus Christ right now. I'm going to ask you stand and come forward. Now, I know you can get more people if you ask everybody to bow your heads and just lift your hands up and then make them stand up. I know you get more people that way, you’ll absolutely do. You tell everybody, bow your heads and just lift your hand up, because people when they slip their hand, well nobody is going to see my hand slipped up. And then you tell them to stand and he says, “Oh my goodness.”

Now, you are going to do this in full view and full of conscience because if you are ashamed to admit him before men—so if right now, this night, you want to accept our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, I ask you to stand up in front of God and men and come forward. And I am going to ask – we have two of the women with Jesus, Dr. Betaudier and Pastor Rutledge. I am going to ask them to come—now you all hurry up if you are coming, come on. Sometimes there is a window of opportunity and I am just going to ask them to come and administer salvation unto you. There is a power with these women. Women have some power. I know that without question

When I first met my wife and she used to just touch me on my shirt that was an electrical force that ran through me that just—women have some power. I'm feminine in power. I'm sorry, men just don’t do anything for me. I'm feminine in power and I know that. So, a powerful woman can transform and elevate a man and you can take—well you got to have something strong with you but a good, real good woman, you can really make something out of a man. I believe you do. Three women with Jesus, when the men had left and lost faith, it was only the women who were there when he came back. And I am going to ask them to come now in representation of that, to bring Jesus back into your heart, back into your lives as you come forward now to accept him.

Cookye Rutledge: The Bible tells us in Romans 10:8-10

10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

I'm going to ask you to repeat this confession after me. Put your hand all together. Father, in the name of Jesus, I heard what your word says, that if I will believe in my heart that Jesus was raised from the dead. If I confess with my mouth that he is my Lord, then I will be saved. Father, I receive that by faith. I thank you Father that I have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Tonight, according to my confession and the blood of Jesus, I am born again. I am saved in Jesus’ name. Halleluiah!

- 34 -

Come on people rejoice, Halleluiah Jesus!

Pastor Nathaniel Bronner Jr.: Amen. And Dr. Betaudier, since you opened up the Revival I'm going to ask you if you would give us our benediction for the evening.

Dr. Karen Betaudier: Praise the Lord everybody. Come on give him glory. Stand to your feet. Give him glory. That’s it, give him glory! Give him glory! Oh we worship you Lord Jesus! We worship you Jesus! Give him glory, Give him glory, Give him glory, Give him glory! Lord we worship you. We worship you, come on, come on, this is how we are going to do it. We worship you, halleluiah! Lord, we worship you. Come on Jesus. Oh we worship you.

You know what, we are not being spectators, the glory of God is filling the house even now. We worship you Lord! We worship you, Jesus. Lord we worship you. We give you glory. We bless your name Jesus. Oh we thank you for the glory Lord. We thank you for the glory Lord. We thank you for the glory Lord. It is the anointing that destroys yokes. It is the anointing—it is because of the anointing that yokes are broken. And even as you come on tomorrow night expecting from God, amen, the word was to watch God and expect him to move. Let us get out of our usual thinking and watch God. And I hear the spirit of God saying that tremendous miracles are going to begin to enfold even tonight and into tomorrow but God says, to watch me. Don’t wait for a hand to be laid upon you. But it is the anointing that destroys yokes and even as you watch me, God said it shall be done. He said unusual methods, extraordinary results. Watch God.

Father we thank you for the move of your spirit. It is not by might not by power but by your spirit. And Father we thank you that even now, that healing will begin to flow. We thank you even now oh God that bodies are being healed. We thank you even now that the dead will rise again. We thank you even now, we thank you, we thank you, we thank you, we thank you!
