SID: Ray, what would you say to anyone that’s facing a crisis at this moment, they’re watching us in a hotel room, in a bar, at their home, wherever. What would you say to them?
RAY: One to Jesus. One to Jesus. No matter how small the problem is, no matter how big it is. If you think it’s the worst thing in the world and there’s no way anyone can help you, God can help you do everything. No matter how small or how big, one to Jesus. I’ve done it. I still do it. And I begged God. I said, “Jesus, help my own belief. Why am I feeling like this? I feel like I’m being attacked.” One to Jesus. He is your shelter in the storm and the darkness. One to Him because he is everything. One to Jesus. I beg you.
SID: The Jesus that Ray is talking about, the Jesus that Linda is talking about, they don’t just believe in someone hanging on a cross, they have him as their best friend. And he says, “I’ll never leave you or forsake you.”
SID: I want you to say this prayer with me out loud and mean it to the best year ability. Dear God.
Audience: Dear God.
SID: I’m a sinner.
Audience: I’m a sinner.
SID: I’m so sorry.
Audience: I’m so sorry.
SID: I believe.
Audience: I believe.
SID: The blood of Jesus.
Audience: The blood of Jesus.
SID: Washes away my sins.
Audience: Washes away my sins.
SID: And I’m clean.
Audience: And I’m clean.
SID: Jesus, come and live inside of me.
Audience: Jesus, come and live inside of me.
SID: Be my Lord.
Audience: Be my Lord.
SID: I want to know you.
Audience: I want to know you.
SID: Not just about you.
Audience: Not just about you.
SID: I want to have my own experience with you.
Audience: I want to have my own experience with you.
SID: Amen.
Audience: Amen.
SID: Now what happened the first Mother’s Day that Ray got out of prison?
LINDA: Ray was released in March, and as you had already mentioned, Lee and I picked him up at the prison, and the first place he wanted to go was to Michelle’s grave. That was the first place he wanted to go.
LINDA: So we went there together. And then fast forward to May, Mother’s Day, we ministered together at a church in Orlando. I had already received an invitation to minister on Mother’s Day and I knew the pastor well enough to ask him if I could please, please tell this story on Mother’s Day. It’s not a typical Mother’s Day, pass out the roses story. It’s just not one of those.
LINDA: But he was so open, he was so wide open and such a wonderful man of God. And he agreed. And so I stood on Mother’s Day and told the story and showed some pictures. And at the very end, invited Ray to come up. And as he came up to the pulpit, the first thing he did was hug me. And I think all of the air was just sucked out of the room. It was just one of those moments where God was just given all the glory because this is the story of redemption.
Audience: Amen.
LINDA: This is redemption because Ray is not the murderer. That is behind. It’s over, it’s done. He’s a totally new creation, Sid. He’s a totally new man and his relationship with Jesus is so pure. He didn’t get tainted with religion in jail. He didn’t have to mess with any of that. It was just him and Jesus and occasional impartations from Mama. And it’s pure. It’s pure. His relationship is pure.
SID: In our a special extended segment, Linda is going to pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit for you to release not just one prayer language, but multiple languages in tongues, for you to have an impartation of the ability to interpret your own tongues and for you to pray without ceasing like she did. I also want her to activate the power gifts resident within you. And by the way, one more thing. I want you to pray for some of that grace that was released on you to be on all of us.
LINDA: Yes.
SID: So be sure to go to the website right after this show to watch.
