i will fear no evil how appropriate this word is for the times that we're in right now when the bible said that in the last days men's hearts would fail them for fear or the terror would saturate their lives that they would become mesmerized or paralyzed by fear in such a way that they were left helpless to the enemy the scripture says that the enemy goeth about as a roaring lion seeking whom he made devour the purpose of the roar of the lion is to paralyze his opponent to terrorize him to leave them so helpless
in fear that that that animals that had the dexterity and the physical flexibility to be able to escape forget to run because they are terrorized by the roaring of the lion the bible said your bible and mine that the enemy goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour now if he's seeking whom he may devour there has to be someone that he cannot devour the difference between those that can and cannot be devoured is predicated upon how we react to the roaring if life roars at you and you respond in utter terror
and fear and forget who you are and forget whose you are and forget what god gave you and forget where god brought you from then you become a candidate for the lion's dinner but if you will remember who you are and whose you are in the face of the roaring of the lion can't stop them from roaring but refuse to be intimidated by the roaring then you can begin to reap to re-evaluate where you stand now now now we must admit regardless of how much faith we have there are some things that shake you up
there are some things that get next to you there are some things that concern you and there's a difference between being concerned and being petrified there's a difference between being careful and being intimidated there's a difference between being cautious and and being negative and and and being paranoid and and being where you are bound fear binds you you we don't have to lock you in the house if you if you develop a phobia you're not coming out anyway without anybody handcuffing you your fear limits you fear can stop you from being able to do what
you could do you you can't speak when you're afraid you you can't sing well when you're fearful you can't play an instrument when you're fearful you can't think straight when you're afraid and the enemy loves for you to be afraid love's for you to be afraid we're dealing now our headlines all over the country in fact all over the world it's just terror just terror whenever you turn on the television just utter terror just terrorists and all about terrorists you know but but but terrorism is not new it is not new it is not new
it may be closer to your doorstep than you've ever seen it before but the act of terrorist is not new has been existing in this world around the country for years has been existing in history for years goes all the way back to the fall of satan from heaven down to earth he came here to terrorize whoever he could and while our nation discusses the complexities of of of a war on terrorism you must ask the church understand that if we are really going to declare war on terrorism this is not this is not about
aircraft or or guns or bullets because fear is a spirit [Applause] you cannot shoot a spirit oh you don't hear me you can't blow up a spirit now let let congress do what they will let colin powell do what he has to do but i want to talk to the church that if we are going to defeat the what the bible calls the spirit of fear fly anywhere you want to go get on all the boats you will but if you're going to rebuke the spirit of fear somebody's got to get down on their knees
and start pleading the blood and rebuking the devil and casting out fear and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god [Applause] it's a spirit september 11th two planes crashed in the world trade center one into the pentagon one was aborted and crashed somewhere in summerset pennsylvania tragedy terrible horrendous act that passed but what happened after the wood is what the enemy wanted didn't want the buildings didn't want the lives he wants the fear that's why they call them terrorists because they live off of the fear they don't need the money they
want the fear every one of you has got to decide are you going to live your life in terror because the devil thrives off of fear like god moves off of faith oh he does things specifically to terrify you in fact the enemy loves publicity i'm from the old school and in the old school when when we would deal with demonic spirits that they wouldn't allow demonic spirits to take over a service you just you just couldn't come in and take over the service because the enemy thrives off of publicity he wants to show and
that's why whenever the enemy does anything against you he will always make sure you hear about it you asked job every time there was a disaster there was always somebody to come tell him what happened because the enemy wants you to be terrified when you hear what happened and isn't it funny no matter who talks about you and who's fighting you who's trying to kill you there will always be somebody who brings my child i hate to call you with this [Applause] and the reason they got to deliver it to you because worse than what
the event is is the terror that rises up against you the threat of the enemy the complexities of his attack as he leaves you paralyzed with fear because he's seeking whom he may devour you have to decide are you going to be a candidate for his dinner now the lord was honest and open when he talks about the church he doesn't call us giraffes he doesn't call us elephants he doesn't call us zebras he calls us sheep i don't i don't really like the metaphor i would have rather been another animal i would rather been
a gazelle because at least i could run you know i would have rather been a lion because at least i could bite but he calls us sheep sheep are vulnerable they are intimidated they they they don't have many teeth they they they can't chew well they can't thin for themselves well they don't even think straight i don't want to be a sheep i don't want to be a sheep i want to punch somebody out i don't want to be no street i pray for me i don't want to be no sheep i want to knuckle
somebody this well you say what who who are you and yet god said i send you out as sheep among the rules make no provision for yourself take no thought where you're going to stay i mean for you to be vulnerable why would god make me sheep when he knows i got to walk with wolves and then not even allow me to be terrorized telling me that he's not giving me the spirit of fear but a power and a love and sound mind if you don't want me to be afraid give me a gun give
me a knife give me a pistol give me some teeth or something give me some claws so i can scratch my enemy but you didn't give me nothing to work with because you know that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they're mighty through god for the pulling down stronghold casting down imaginations and every hiding that exalted itself against the knowledge of god and bringeth every thought into captivity unto the obedience of christ so says the word of god the shepherd said i send you out as sheep amongst wolves that's who jesus is
he's the shepherd he said i am the good shepherd i am the good shepherd and i send you out like sheep and every so often in the span of your life you will encounter a wolf every so often whether they come to the air or they come on the job [Applause] you will encounter the wolves and the lions and the carnivorous attacks of the enemy in your life and whenever you encounter something that comes to roar against you to intimidate you always remember the 23rd song i know you learned it when you were a child
for sunday school and you recited it for easter and it was cute and it was fun but you must understand that the 23rd psalms is a lethal weapon in the hands of a believing sheep [Applause] it's a rock in a sure place it's a nail in the temple of the wicked one the 23rd psalms is powerful stuff hallelujah it begins with the divine revelation of who god is because i cannot determine who i am if i don't determine who he is if i don't know who he is i'll glorify my enemy and all of my
conversation will become about what my enemy is and look what my enemy did and look how many people my enemy killed look what my enemy might do and my enemy might put something in the water and my enemy might put something in the food and my enemy might mess up my job and my enemy might take my husband and my enemy might take my wife and my enemies after my position and you'll spend all of your time talking about your enemy even when you get on your knees rather than talking about the greatness of god
you'll get on your knees and start crying about the greatness of your enemy and god is saying what about me what about me what about me today it says the lord the lord is nowhere in the entire complexity of the 23rd psalm do you hear him speak about a wolf or a lion no devil you have no glory today the lord is not was not used to be not can be not will be not ought to be not i hope he is the lord is my personal possession belonging to me going to work with me
riding home with me in the air with me in the boat with me on the bus with me in the sea with me the lord is my [Music] [Applause] i don't know who you got with you but the lord is [Applause] the lord is [Music] my shepherd oh my i'm wrestling with the with the preacher down inside of me that wants to just pick apart every little word in this text i don't have time to pick apart every little word but you know i'm fascinated with the complexities of everybody that god who runs the universe
would allow himself to become a personal possession [Applause] i can understand that i would be his but real grace is that he would be mine it's fitting that the greater would would earn would own the lesser but look at god he let the lesser on the greater and david says the lord is mine it's not just that i belong to him it is that he belongs to me my personal shepherd this is not just about groups clubs or cliques if there were nobody on the planet but me he'd still be my shepherd now look at
david because when when david talks about this i want to talk about several phases first i want to talk about the shepherd you must understand the reason that david uses a metaphorical revelation of god being the shepherd is that david had an experience himself being a shepherd he understood that there is some relationship that evolves between the shepherd and the sheep somewhere in in the lambing fields in the birthing grounds in working as a midwife for an animal there is an affection and an affinity that develops between a shepherd and she david understood what it
was to pull a little lamb out of its mother's body and to wash it and to nurse it he understood what it was to watch the lamb gain its legs and begin to walk he understood what it was to protect the lamb in its infancy and even in its embryonic stages that it might develop he understood that there is a bomb that exists between the shepherd and the lamb that goes beyond just being an animal and a man it goes closer than that he understands that the shepherd himself is lonely enough out in the field
that he develops camaraderie with the lambs that that he has no friends around him david being the eighth son of jesse knowing what it was like to be rejected by his brother alienated by his father the only company he had was the lambs he sang his songs to the lambs he wrote his poetries to the land he protected his land he fed the land and when the enemy came up against david in his own life in his maturity and david felt vulnerable to the attack of the enemy he said wait devil do you know who
the lord is to me the lord is to me what i want to those animals the lord is my shepherd oh i gotta leave that verse alone but i can stay there all day because god has a way of revealing himself on your level he'll reveal himself in a way that you can relate to he'll come down that's why you can't explain god he must be revealed and god will reveal himself in a way that your mind can conceive if you're a shepherd he'll show up as a shepherd if you're nailing he'll show up at
the carpenter if you're laying block he'll show up as the chief cornerstone if you're thirsty he'll be water out a rock if you need some food he'll be man of fallen down from heaven god has a way of showing up in a form that you can relate to and if you get confused and try to lock him down to your little revelation he'll break out of that and say i am that i am i can do what i want to do i can be whatever i want the lord [Applause] oh my god the lord is
my shepherd so in the first chance he talks about the shepherd and he says i shall not want i refuse to walk i won't ward with no teeth no bite and i still won't be hungry no defense and i won't be intimidated vulnerable don't know what's going to happen from day to day but i'm going to rest in the lord is my shepherd i shall not want and then for the next uh four terms he talks about things that he did things that god did the big he the big he the big he the lord
is my ship and then he breaks down into the big he maketh me he maketh me to lie down in green pastures even even when i didn't have the sense to lay down he he made me lie down thank you lord for making me lie down when i was nervous you made me lie down when i couldn't sleep you made me lie down when i had insomnia you made me lie down when i felt vulnerable you made me lie down when i thought i picked up the scent of an enemy about to attack me you
made me lie down and look at where you made me lie down you made me lie down in green pastures have you ever had god just put you in green pastures you don't even know how you got there and and the issue is he making me to lie down in green pastures he brings you to a point where he has to teach you how to rest in abundance because when you've been on the run all your life and god finally gives you some green pastures there's something in you that that's not even comfortable in your
blessing have you ever had god bless you and then he had to make you lie down and what he gave you you knew that god gave it to you but you were so afraid that it might not last and you were so afraid that something might happen you were so afraid that somebody might take it you were so afraid that you might go through this you were so afraid that and god had said oh david said i praise him because he maketh me lie down in green past touch just touch anybody and say lie down
lie down he he he leadeth me not only does he make us me but but he leadeth me he he leadeth me beside the still he leo weight he leadeth me he it not he pushes me he he he leadeth me he he pushes me means i have to go first but if he leadeth me that means that he's going in front of me and and so just somebody forgot myself you just tell them i will fear no evil why should i feel when he's up front whatever i'm going through he leadeth me [Applause] he
leadeth me i he didn't push me he leadeth me all i have to do is get in his footsteps now the little boy the old folks used to say footsteps of jesus treading the way footsteps of jesus by night and by day sure if i follow life would be switch i'll remember that old stuff think just to get in the footsteps of jesus i know that he leadeth me and not just anywhere he leads me beside the steel waters see he knows see a good shepherd knows that that that sheep are are kind of dumb
i didn't really want to be no sheep but that's what he said i don't know what he's trying to say about me but they're kind of dumb and and and the instinct to drink will overwhelm their sensitivity to the environment and if the if the currents are rapid in the process of getting the water the sheep with all of his wool will plunder over into the water and drown in the rapid currents of the water so a good shepherd doesn't just find water but he finds steel water so that when i get ready to drink
i want to thank you lord for not giving me nothing that was too fast for me don't give me nothing i can't handle don't give me a job i can't handle don't give me a woman i can't handle don't give me a friend i can't handle don't give me a child i can't oh y'all don't hear me can i preach in here a little bit yeah yeah yeah give me something my speed yeah it's slow but it works for me oh yeah he leadeth me beside to steal was yeah see that's why you shouldn't covet
what god gave somebody else because god knows what speed you can handle without falling in when you start coveting other people's blessing you start falling in the things that will take you under so you want god to lead you besides still make it where i can drink it make it where i can stand it you don't lord don't put anything on me that i cannot bear he leadeth me beside can i go a little bit deeper into this [Applause] [Music] he he he restoreth my soul [Music] so even if even if the enemy did roar
against me and even if i did forget and even if i did fail and even if i did fall and even if i did doubt and even if i did forget and even if i did procrastinate and even if i wasn't as nice as i should have been and even if i was overly concerned and even if i spoke out of turn and even if i was wounded in my spirit and even if i lost my joy and even if i lost my peace and even if i couldn't feel my anointing and even if i
hadn't read my bible like i should and even if i didn't go to prayer meeting the reason i got to praise him anyway is that he kept on restoring my soul i wish there was somebody that god had restored a time material oh i know you had never been restored but somebody who's been restored ought to give him some praise every time that devil thought he had your god stepped in and restored your soul every time he roared and thought [Applause] i want somebody who's been restored to just pat your name and say he restored
me i wouldn't have made it but he restored me i would have died but he restored me i would have fainted but he restored me i would have collapsed but he restored i thought i was losing my mind but he restored me i was nervous but he restored me i almost quit but he restored me i almost left but he restored me i almost walked away but he restored me i almost flipped out but he restored me i almost cussed him out but he he restores my soul [Applause] oh devil you thought you had me
didn't you oh but he restored oh somebody ought to go to bragging on god up in here up in here i'm just talking about the big he tonight he leads me in the past of righteousness you know righteousness is a path he kept me on the path when i was crossing the line he pushed me back over on the path he led me in the path of righteousness i wasn't naturally righteous i didn't feel like being righteous i didn't even want to be righteous i got up that morning didn't plan to be righteous but even
when i tried to get out some hooked me and he put me back on the path i wish i had a good old backslidder that he put you back on the path see when you've really been saved you begin to find out that you can't do what you want to do even when you want to do it you begin to find out that your body is the temple of the holy ghost and that the holy spirit owns you and even when you get ready to just get really wild and get down and get funky and
get loose have you ever gone out to i know you can't hold your hand up now but have you ever gone out to do something around and he wouldn't even let it work they wouldn't even answer the telephone what nobody even at the house he kept my feet from falling yes lord i thank you oh i know you can't praise him right now you got to act like you don't know what i'm talking about but i wish i had some real people up in here really in the first verse in the first mercy he talks
about the shepherd in the second verse he goes into this the sermon and in the sermon he goes into the big he he talks all about the big he in the sermon in the first verse he talks about the shepherd in the second verse he goes into the sermon and when you go into your sermon you always preach about who god is and what god can do and what god did in your life that's your sermon that's your testimony i think everybody ought to preach a little bit i mean if you never have a revival
even if you haven't been called to preach you ought to just preach a little bit you ought to preach a little bit you got to if you're going to deal with your fear you got to be able to preach a little bit if you don't learn how to preach a little bit fear will overtake you but you got to be able to preach a little bit if you don't do number preaching in the shower getting a shot and say the devil is a lie and i come against you in the name of jesus pray to
receive that is in me then he that's in the way [Music] did look at somebody tell them i preach a little bit i preach a little bit i gotta preach a little bit i gotta preach what when sickness is coming after my body i gotta preach a little bit when i get laid off my job i gotta preach a little bit when i hear noise in the house and nobody's in the house but me i gotta preach [Applause] he goes from talking about the shepherd in verse two he talks about the sermon in verse three
he talks about the shadow yea though i walk he says i'm still talking about he let me talk about me because of the difference between talking about the he and the me now the third verse he's talking about to me yay do i walk i have to admit this nothing that i learned about the big he stopped me from the realities of the little me he is he is the great shepherd but i'm still the dumb chief and knowing him does not negate the reality of who i am and what a privilege it is to
be me i refuse to allow anybody to stop me from being me that's why i am going somewhere i'm going as long as they flying i'm going when they start the buses on i'm getting on the bus i can't get in the bus i'm getting in the car i can't get in the car [Applause] i got to go i got places to go i got people to see i got things to do i'm going if i'm nervous i'm still going yeah yeah you know why i'm used to terror been terrorized all my life i i
know i've been threatened all of my life i'm used to if you think about it all of us are dealt with some kind of terror one way or the other but you got to keep going i know some of you play into all of this but i don't do it i don't do it if you eat cycling you got cancer if you eat equal you lose memory sales if you eat the sugar you're going to be a diabetic look i got to have something i got to have some i got to have some i got
to have something don't drink the carbonated because it ain't good for you don't drink the juice cause it's got too much sugar in there don't drink the water cause they're gonna put something in the water now you can't drink water [Applause] couldn't eat red meat now you can't eat chicken now you can't eat food now we're down to vegetables can't eat the vegetable cause they sprayed the vegetables i'm gonna eat something i'm gonna eat some an enchilada a chitlin grape nut cereal i got to eat i gotta live stop somebody say live jesus said i
come that you might have life and have it more abundantly and i refuse to stand here with my shame sanctified holy ghost fill yourself and let the devil push me back till i'm locked up in the closet in my own house if god gave me the house i'm going all through the house i'm getting in the car and go ride down the road if a dime will die rolling for god has not given us a spirit of fear but a power and of love and i'm a sound man can i talk to you tonight yay
though i walk he said i'm in the valley of the shot of death but i'm walking touch somebody say walk through it yay though i walk i know where i am he said i knew the shepherd i knew the sermon and i know the shadow i understand the shadow i know that i'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death see see my i just put my shadow on marcus he didn't feel it but i put my shadow on it it didn't affect him my shadow hit it my shadow punched him in the mouth
he's still smiling [Applause] a shadow is an image it's an impression it's a caracature it's a shape and david said i had to learn how to walk in the shadow the shadow wouldn't leave but i had to keep walking i had to learn how to read the paper and keep on walking a thousand may fall on your left side ten thousand may fall on your right side but but i had to keep on walking yeah though i walked through the valley of the shadow and we're in a shadowy time right now this is a dark
little period it's a dog little pig you almost don't even want to read the paper and yet you find yourself just reading anyway reading in the way you say i'm not gonna watch it you find yourself watching anyway and then you cut it off and it's still going in your head the image is still in your hair you put your steel in your hair you get in the car you can see it if you work in a skyscraper you can see it if you're going in a plane you can see it you can see the
images in in your head yeah yeah yeah and i know i know i've heard all the great teachers about faith and they say that we shouldn't we shouldn't confess anything and so so they say just just don't confess anything enough just don't don't confess it don't confess it they said you you i ain't got no code i don't have no code don't just just don't don't confess it don't don't confess it and that's fine if you want to do that don't confess it but don't sneeze on me either i know you don't have no cold
but don't sneeze on me i don't hear this mono no don't kiss me not today i believe god with you but i don't want no sugar yeah the reality is david said yeah i'm walking through the valley it's real 6 000 people did that's real this is a shadow and i and i am the generation that was chosen to walk through this shadow god knew this shadow was here before my daddy met my mama he could have let me be born at any time but he hand-picked me to be a part of the generation who
walks through the valley of this shadow if these are the final moments of history then we are the generation that's been selected to walk through it and he knew who i was when he called me and he knew about the shadow when he called me and he knew about the wolf when he called me and i wouldn't be able to stand it if it wasn't for the shepherd the shepherd is my defense against the shadow yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death right now i will fear no evil let me
tell you something every time you say that something starts rumbling can y'all feel it something starts rumbling down in my spirit in my soul it's all like it's almost like someone's leaping up inside of me just just every time i say let's say it again i will fear no evil this is personal now you can't say the choir will fear no evil no no no no no you you can't say the next christian center will fear no evil because you can't speak for other people this is a personal conviction that you have in your spirit
you have got to face life every day and say i will fear no evil i refuse to worry myself to death i wonder if i'm gonna get the same disease my grandparents got one if i'mma die at the same age my mother did one if i'mma get what my father got wonder what people think about me wonder if i'm gonna be able to keep my job one if i'm gonna be able to power the house one if i'm gonna be able to play the car wonder wonder wonder wonder do they really like me wonder who
i can really trust wonder wonder wonder oh you spent all of your life going crazy and every time the devil hands you some of that garbage you remember what i preached tonight and you look him in the face and say i will fear no evil remember this if you have to write it on your computer remember if you have to write it in your automobile if you have to write it on your refrigerator put it where you can see it every time the devil tries to intimidate you looking right in the face and say i
will fear no evil come hell or high water come sickness complex come disease with a job with no job with a husband no husband with the wife the wife if all the kids live i will fear no evil if you're watching in the hospital room pull yourself up hit the button and sit up in the bed tell the devil i will fear no evil what's going to keep me bishop from fearing evil you're with me you're with me in the shadows you're with me when the lion roars you're with me in the hospital you're with
me in life you're with me in death either way it goes thou art with me thou art with me look at some of them god is with me don't you tell all your enemies warn all your enemies don't mess with me i know i don't have no teeth but don't let this gun fool you cause god is with me i know i do dumb stuff but don't mess with me cause god is with me i know i get my head and stuff that's too big for me but don't you try to drag me under because
god is with me if you're gonna fight me you gotta fight god because god is with me and if god [Applause] you can be against me look at your neighbor and say you can't win if you fight me you got to fight god is no way you can win there is no way you can win there is no way you can win you see the wonderful thing about me getting to be the sheep is that when i get to be the sheep he gets to be the shepherd [Applause] and when david starts talking about the
shepherd he says thy rod and thy staff they comfort me now let me bust your bubble a little bit because you all think in our society that a shepherd is passive but it is not so a shepherd can fight the reason he has his rod and his staff is so that when the wolf comes against you it is the shepherd that fights for you have i preached too long because if i had a few minutes i would tell you how good the shepherd can fight [Applause] he can fight so good that i don't even worry
when the enemy comes in like a flood i don't have to worry because the spirit of the lord lifts up a standard against it he can fight so good that i've stopped arguing with my enemies he can fight so good that i stop defending myself god can fight so good that i don't even open up my mouth because god has a way of fighting for me and when i used to try to fight he said be still and know that i am god and i start moving he says stand still and see the salvation of
the lord i put up my fists to fight and say the battle is not yours it belongs to god he can fight touch somebody and say god can fight he can fight he can fight cancer he can fight diabetes he can fight hypotension god can fight he can fight racism he can fight injustice god can fight look at somebody say he can fight [Music] he can fight he can fight and so when you see the church begin to assemble and when you see her begin to pray you need to understand that prayer is the fighting
position of the saints when i start praying you better get out of my way because when i'm praying i'm calling on the shepherd and whenever the shepherd comes ain't no way you can whip me if i was out there by myself you could wear me out but if i can call the shepherd somebody holler come here jesus if you call jesus he will answer you the bible oh i feel like preaching now the power whosoever calleth on the name of the lord who whosoever calleth on the name of the lord shall be saved somebody called
jesus that's why the devil don't want us to call that name anymore he don't want us to call that name yes he's letting us pray a little bit yes then let us pray in public yes they let them pray on tv but they don't want us to say the name of jesus because there's something about that name somebody say gee the power is in the name of jesus demons tremble at the sound of his name i wish i had some old prayer warriors that would start calling on the name of jesus [Music] jesus jesus [Applause]
can i tell you something cause y'all mostly all from the new church and in the new church when you call jesus you say jesus but back in the old church you know what i'm talking about back in the old church back when you didn't have the two dresses and you got ready to call jesus you would say jesus jesus jesus you say jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus [Laughter] [Applause] jesus jesus [Music] jesus [Applause] touch your neighbor and say call jesus if you call on jesus [Music] let me tell you what he'll
do he'll prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies he'll fix you some food as they sit down and eat i'm gonna bless you while they talk about you i want to say to the church it's time to have some dinner the more the devil fights you the more god will bless you i wish i had a witness god said i'll prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies look at somebody and tell them i'm eating good i'm eating good that's why i thank god for my enemies i appreciate
my enemies more than i do my friends because i didn't even get dinner until somebody hated me but when god saw how they hated me he blessed me anyway when i think of the goodness of jesus and all that the lord has done for me my soul cries out hallelujah thank you lord your savior save me you save me you save me [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'll prepare the table before me in the presence of my enemies look at your name and say he blessed me [Music] no no no no no not y'all i mean the
folks who got some enemies turn to your neighbor and say he blessed me i've been through hell in high water but god blessed me they didn't think i was gonna make it but god bless me if god brought me through that he can take me through this he's the same god yes he is yes he is yes he is yes he is somebody praying [Applause] can i go just a little bit further and then he said he anoints my head with oil one writer said that when the shepherd anoints the sheep he anoints their head
with oil because the sheep are so dumb that they're in the process of eating grass they'll stick their nose in a hole in the ground not knowing that there's a snake in the ground but the shepherd so loves the sheep that he anoints their head with oil because the shepherd knows that the oil is a serpent repellent and i want to praise god i want to praise god because i know i stuck my nose in some stuff that should have killed me but i thank god for the anointing of the holy ghost that even when
