Good friend of mine, when I was at Oral Roberts University and Dr. Roberts blessed me by allowing me to be part of the flight crew and phew, boy I don't want to get started on that, I get carried away with that. And Bob Duis was my immediate boss and he was captain of the airplane and I flew under his authority and we spent a lot of time in the cockpit and became very close and he was an athlete, strong man and some years later he just fell dead on the hand bolt.
Well, he said 'I don't remember even falling down.' And he was dead on arrival. But he said, 'Kenneth, I was on this road and I thought "Where is this?".' And he said, 'It was the prettiest place I'd ever seen and it was a little country road, just a gorgeous place and I looked and on each side, the fences on each side of this road were hand-carved mahogany. Out in the country!' He said, 'This ain't no place I ever been!' And he thought 'Oh... oh yeah!' And he said, 'I looked and the road went over this little hill and down in a valley and there it was, there was the holy city itself right there.' He said, 'Kenneth, I started picking them up and laying them down, I took off down that road.' He said, 'Life is the only way I can explain it. It was just like having some kind of liquid life just running through you.' And he said, 'I never thought about not having a body, I couldn't tell the difference. Man, I'm taking off down across that road and man, I'm headed home; just a-shouting and a-praising God!'
And he said 'I heard Charlotte [his wife] hollering my name, just screaming at me. And something caught a hold of me in the back and I couldn't overcome it and pulled me and the next thing I knew I was on the table in the emergency room and they were hitting me with the paddles'. And he said, 'Charlotte was right down in my face, hollering just as loud as she could holler "Bob! You come back here in the Name, in the Name of Jesus!".' And she was standing there when he was telling me this and she said, 'Kenneth, do you know what he said when he opened his eyes?' She said 'He didn't say "Oh Charlotte, I love you. Oh thank you!" He said "Charlotte! What'd you do that for!".' [laughs] Hallelujah, glory to God, praise God. Amen.
The big thing about that was this. He said, 'I don't remember falling in the floor, I don't remember any of the pain'. He said 'I had pain after they brought me back. Oral came in there and laid his hands on me and I received my healing and I was alright then, but when I came back in I could feel the pain.' He lived a couple or more years. Perfect health. But he said, "Man, I can't stay here, I've seen Heaven.' Dear Lord. And finally he just told Charlotte, he said, 'Charlotte, I'm just going on home, I don't like it here!' And so, one afternoon, he went down, sat in his chair, started praising God, died and left.
You've really done all the 'dying' you're ever going to do. Because when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and your Savior, you were crucified with Him, yet nevertheless you live, but your spirit died the death of the cross. Amen! And you were recreated a new species of being in the likeness of your Lord and your Savior. And what the devil didn't want you to find out is you are a Holy Ghost, born again, man and woman of war. Hallelujah! You are a tiger of faith! You are a world over-comer and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith! There is nothing, no thing in this world order, not war, not weapons of man, no thing in this world order that faith won't overcome! Hallelujah!
