well the Lord changed my direction a
little bit but you know I just work here
hey
then when the boss says go this
direction I mean that’s you know we’re
hook up and go to me open your Bibles to
the book of Galatians leave those of you
that are familiar with the believers
lost Victor broadcast you know that the
Lord told glory of me years ago many
years ago now and that to make let me
let me back up here just a moment
because there are those of you that that
may be new to our ministry and so forth
since 1968 when the Lord revealed to us
we were preaching in our hometown in
Fort Worth and I was I was just getting
ready for the service that night and and
I’m walking around with staying there in
my Mountain my mother and dad’s home and
and preaching in our our home church our
pastor in those days as brother Harold
Nichols and grace Temple Church and so
he had invited me to come from meeting
in it and I’m just walking around in the
back room there and just praying in the
spirit and and I had my Bible in my hand
my eyes fell down on Romans 13:8 oh no
man anything but to love him I thought
what
I’ll get the amplified on this and it
said stay out of dead I didn’t help me
any its although how do you do that and
so I hollered at glory I said Gloria
come here look at this
she read that and her face fell dislike
mine because you know I didn’t know you
could do anything without that I mean I
that was just our way of life and and
and of course like I glory said she
married me in my notes and so I said
well Gloria look at this and she said
huh well you put a finger on that verse
she said if that’s what the book says
that’s what we’re going to do amen
but see the thing of it was I didn’t
know I didn’t know anything about how
the kingdom of God function financially
I had no anything about that and so I
had to learn how that system worked I
had been trained in the Babylonian
system and the reason we call that the
Babylonian system is because at the
Tower of Babel we know what Adam did
with the blessing of the Lord and then
came Noah and his sons and God blessed
Noah and his sons and said said exactly
the same thing to them
that he said to Adam exactly the same
blessing ham and japheth nor to sons did
the same thing with it that Adam did
with it now Sam didn’t he stayed with it
but then he stayed with the blessing of
the Lord now
at the Tower of Babel there began there
began a system of man attempting to meet
his own needs without God now Adam was
the first one to do it
but he’s off the scene and then
beginning with Nimrod and coming on up
I’m going to take time to go through all
that but that that system that was born
there at Babel where they said we don’t
need God and God said whatever they have
conceived in their heart they can do so
he had to stop it
now I want you to unless you get this
this I wish we had time to dig into this
tonight more but but we don’t God said
Babel the word Babel means confusion now
that word spoken
do you understand the dominating power
of the word of God think about this
the prophet Micah said a child will be
born in Bethlehem
715 years later the Word of God
dominated nations dominated people
mooned things around so that Jesus was
born in Bethlehem right on time
isn’t that awesome
I mean just this think about the
dominating power of the word and it
hadn’t gotten any less and you and I
have been given the honor and privilege
to speak it whoa
and if we walk in it my faith is just as
dominating in our lives of the things we
speak to as it is when God speaks to it
at any rate I wanted you to see that so
that in the spirit realm there is a cap
and every natural nation rises up big
powerful nobody like us until it hits
that cap and without god mister you
ain’t going any higher because man is
never ever going to meet his own needs
he’s not qualified and it hits that cap
and collapses now in times past things
have lasted hundreds of years some even
a millennium but it hit the cap and down
G now in recent times as the time grows
closer and closer and closer what
happened what happened to communism what
happened to Russia it to cap down it
came see none of them can last well now
in the United States there’s an
exception there not an exception but
there there is the set of circumstances
here that are different there’s set of
circumstances in Israel that are
different because Israel will never fall
again amen
but see we’re pushing time we’re doing I
mean it’s just about quitting time here
break yeah I mean to tell you you know
it’s two minutes to five with time to
quit but now the United States is the
only nation in history that was ever
formed by a people that love God for the
purpose of worshipping Him only whatever
now God created the nation of Israel
because he loved them but this nation
was created
because of people that love God and and
he’ll never forget it there’s there’s
covenant between this nation and God but
the Babylonian system in this case has
it’s been called progressive socialism
that began attacking this country 115
years ago and you go back and check
check out the history and all that it’s
hid the camp now people call it judgment
and rightly so but now you see judgment
is not a bad thing it’s a good thing
because if it wasn’t for judgment you
just keep on going till it just destroys
you amen
the judgment that we’re experiencing the
United States is not under judgment that
Babylonian system that’s been attacking
it is under judgment this is not the end
of the United States it’s the end of
that system and it’s come to a close now
thank you lord thank you Jesus
hallelujah say that to me again more
thank you Lord thank you Jesus if you
look back 1913 great outpouring of the
Spirit of God my the great stone street
revival in Chicago my my the Chicago
World’s Fair
I’m telling you Chicago was what was
headquarters for the miraculous during
that time
no wonder the devil attacked it like he
did so on the other hand you see that
you see the devil moving trying to
destroy things
in 1913 was when they passed the Federal
Reserve Act which should never have
happened in the United States and it had
they tried to do it and try to do it and
try to do it and Congress would just
kill it every time he’d come up because
it just cuts the throat of a of a free
economy because you put all the currency
into other people’s hands anyway won’t
go into that but I want you to notice
this it was done secretly President
Woodrow Wilson called a special meeting
of Congress on Christmas Eve which ain’t
nobody going to show up on Christmas Eve
and in pay attention to it but they had
certain ones picked enough to make a
forum that showed up and voted in the
Fed
we’ll reserve a one of the first steps
towards Babylon amen now just just
follow what happens here when that that
cap now we know what happened at at
Babel in fact the word Babel means
confusion like I said and and Pete you
know people have the idea that all of a
sudden two people standing there talking
to one another and suddenly one of them
speaking France and Netherlands speaking
Mongolian or something no no no that
wouldn’t have confused anything because
you give them a year they learn the
language they were speaking the same
language at the time but there was so
much confusion among them they couldn’t
understand what they were doing enough
to build anything do you understand that
you could all be speaking the same
language and all of a sudden if
something starts happening to your mind
and you’re getting confused and
everybody’s got a different idea how
we’re supposed to build this tower and
and we suppose none you know no no no
let’s build no no no and a fight breaks
out because we can’t get along with one
another that’s what happened on that day
now as they dispersed other languages
began to develop out of that but the
confusion that took place confused
everybody to the point that tower could
not be finished it collapsed now that’s
what happens now and at you and I are
living in a time that is so accelerated
and so exciting we are seeing more than
one or two or three or four governments
around the world hit that hit the wall
at the same time
and they can’t figure out how to do
anything once built on the rock
another’s built on the sand that that’s
the that’s the parable that Jesus used
to explain this the and the same storm
hit the same people the same storm hit
both houses at the same time what I’m
stood the other one didn’t and that’s
that’s what he’s referring to now we’re
in that time right now glory to God and
we’re seeing it we’re seeing it function
and it is a function of seed time and
harvest now here’s what the Lord
reminded me of a moment ago when I asked
him to show me that again now not now
listen to this the judgment that we in
this time frame and will continue like
this up until the time of V judgment God
is not just judging someone no it is a
function of seed time and harvest you
keep sowing what you’ve been sowing and
you’re going to reap the harvest and if
you’re so into your flesh it’s coming
down if you’re so into the spirit and
judging yourself like the scripture says
judge yourself that you not be judged
not condemn yourself judge yourself a
father I judge myself of that in the
name of the Lord Jesus hallelujah and I
repent of it judgment doesn’t come on
you you judge yourself but you just keep
sowing the same thing the same thing the
same thing thinking every year you’re
going to get different results you can’t
do that that is the definition of
insanity
that you keep doing the same thing over
over over over over expecting any minute
to get different results it’s just not
coming you just keep saying the same
thing the same thing you keep planting
you keep planting peanuts thinking I’m
going to get a cotton crop someday no
only a fool would do that well see the
same thing is true in the spirit have
you found the book of Galatians
I talk long enough where you know no now
you have you have noticed that we in all
of our on they believers voice of
victory broadcast for many years on
every Friday is offering day and the
Lord said many years ago he said now see
we that’s where I first got into this by
not borrowing money you’re not tied to
that Babylonian system because the
borrower is servant of the lender amen
and that and borrowing from the world is
under the curse it’s listed in 20 a
chapter deuteronomy under the curve so
the Lord said to us there stay out of
that system well like I said we didn’t
know the first thing about it but then
then as we began to learn as we begin to
walk in it made a law on a mistake
goofed up here and then God forgave us
and picked our dumb selves up you know
and and and helped us and we just kept
getting stronger and stronger and
stronger and stronger and stronger out
of debt unconnected to that system
that’s what’s so big about staying free
from dead now Jesus preached the
acceptable year of the Lord
that’s the great Jubilee that was the
time of super natural debt cancellation
very important to God to cancel debt see
where you don’t get where you don’t just
get strung out there and you and you owe
the world and and that system then
you’re tied to it now I’m going to ask
you a question I ask God this question I
said Lord water I know I mean you know
we’re in favor of doctors we’re in favor
of medical science I mean doctors
particularly strong Christian doctors
are fighting the same demon sickness we
are amen and I said I understand that
but what’s the difference between going
to a doctor and going to a banker I
couldn’t I couldn’t find the difference
in them do you know
to go to the doctor you don’t have to
enter covenant go to a banker you have
to bow your knee that’s huge
what am I going to do brother kokum I’m
already in debt well smile sweetheart
glory thank god there’s a way out of
this and God supernaturally deliver you
a partner of ours that’s all years back
he was a farmer farmed a big lot of land
and had lots of cotton a lot bigger than
West Texas just just big farm and this
is you know one like two old tractors we
used to have there the Lord of mold man
killers go opposite you have to want to
I did I like to drive them I sure didn’t
like to work them go well I didn’t like
to work but anyway well the one thing
about it I wasn’t afraid of work I’d lay
right down beside and go sound asleep
but anyway ah that’s what my grandpa
said and he was right so but he’s out
there that he got that air-conditioned
cabin he back in those days with tapes
you know and he got those tapes going
and I’m preaching on you know on on debt
freedom and and Angela he got excited
man and you know when I when a farmer
turns around and starts coming to the
house in the middle of the day he’s
either had an attack of pendous at us or
he’s seen an angel or something I mean
you don’t come home in the middle of the
day man he come running up the house and
his wife said what’s the matter he said
nothing glow red a god he said we’re out
of debt on everything but this farm and
I’ll tell you what my faith is alive and
we’re going to get out of debt on this
farm and they shut down and they prayed
he said call it call it
loan company and find out what the
payoff is on our farm we’re breathing
God and you know and went on back to the
field
so she hits all of her papers up and
everything and and calls the people the
hill alone on that place and told him
that said we’ve decided that we’re going
to work towards paying off our farm
would you give us the final payoff
please they said sure we will we’ll
check it and we’ll call you back
well she didn’t hear anything a couple
of weeks went by she didn’t hear
anything so she called him again and and
and they said would hang on just minute
so they got the loan officer on the
phone and this is not just any loan
officer this is one of the executives of
the bank and he said um we haven’t been
able to find record of your loan she
said really and you know I mean he knew
good and well they had they knows these
people they’re local farmers but and
he’s kind of sheepishly saying we we
can’t find any record of your loan she
said then that means I don’t owe you
anything he said I guess it does
she said would you write me a letter to
that effect and he did he had to so the
blood of Jesus not only eradicate sin
it’ll wipe the night it’ll wipe the
hangover you note brother yeah go ready
go that’s supernatural dad cancellation
and and our testimony files are full of
stuff like that well things like that of
habit but it doesn’t happen to you to
you zero in on that thing and you begin
to read what Jesus said that he’s in the
Spirit of the Lord is upon me for he’s
anointed me to preach the acceptable
year of the Lord and you go read those
scriptures over there and in the to Ryan
you find out how God would blow the horn
of freedom and everybody went free
praise God and I don’t care if you two
lost your home place because you got
sold into bondage for notes you couldn’t
pay in all of that I want you to know
praise God you go back home the property
was yours again see God and won’t his
people tied to debt let me tell you this
God all my he Jesus Christ of Nazareth
your Lord and your Savior does not want
you he does not want you obligated to
anybody but him
amen hallelujah and that wonderful
praise God I remember oh the last that I
had man I was so blessed and my dad’s my
but the bank were Mount where my dad did
business then this is back when they had
the state banks and they were local
banks and everybody knew everybody you
know and so I mean the president of that
bank and my dad were good friends and
and my dad was you know such a man of
his word dear Lord I mean so I wasn’t
all I wanted to be things just wasn’t
working out right Benny way I had this
$2,000 note and I’d pay on it I’d pay on
it something something that happened and
energies went on and on and that was one
of them
one of the notes of Gloria married amen
well and and of course he was he was a
friend of my dad’s and his so but here
we are at all Roberts University and and
we’ve stepped out now from the
University we’ve gone into into this
ministry full-time and I called mr.
McCanless and I said sir
I want you to know the Lord Jesus Christ
has made a great change in my life and I
said glory and I are
believing God and I want you to know I
will pay that note and I will pay it
just as fast as I can get my hands on
the money he laughed he said Kenneth he
said somebody came in here last week and
paid that note I said why and I said who
he said I’ve been sworn to secrecy they
just told me to tell you that Jesus told
them to do it now see and and you and I
say things well hunters don’t see how
this could take place
that’s cause you and I can’t see
therefore but you have to remember that
God is always always on the other side
of this thing when he told Israel do you
remember when Joshua took over command
after Moses and he sent out two spies
now before he was part of he was 2 of 12
and tenem you know messed up so he only
sent out two he made sure he had to
faith guys before he ever sent about
well do you do you remember what Rahab
the harlot said to the two men she hid
them out and she said where have you
been we have been expecting you
since we first heard about your God
split in the Red Sea she said our hearts
melted in us see God never intended for
them to have to go over there and fight
that bunch he intended from just to go
over then claim it
but they give that they gave the devil
40 years to build up his forces over
there if they’d have just gone on in
their data took it without firing a shot
that have fallen at their feet because
their hearts had melted in them and they
said ho look we don’t want that bunch
coming in here on us so see he’s always
doing his thing on the other side but he
not tell you that because you’re going
to have to walk by faith and not beside
now after you say sir yes sir I’m going
then he’ll begin to reveal to you things
that he’s doing so don’t ever forget
that
I went into I mean oh Lord
when Gloria and I first left Fort Worth
going to Tulsa I weighed 240 pounds and
and so man the day I left Fort Worth
eight nine boiled eggs a day man because
the Lord said you and get that fat off
of you boy and CISO and beggar then
that’s the only thing I knew to do and
so and I’m steadily going down going
down going down finally got down to 200
and then then started down under 200 I
only had one suit and it fit me at 240
[Laughter]
and then this is the man that was
altering that suit oh brother
and I’m you know I really did look funny
man and I kept taking my suit back over
there and he kept alternate and he said
he said mr. Kenneth I can’t alter that
suit no more man
she’s I can take a shoot down no more
I said one he said what I think it was
my thinking pass up any more to our WOM
MIG pocket right in the back and I did
but what it’s all you got breath so you
got alright here’s a lodge got my suit
when preaching praise God well we’re in
footwork and there was a man there again
and in fact it was on not the trip that
I was talking about find out about that
but it was the next no it was on that
trip anyway there the man that good
friend of my dad’s and and and he bought
his clothes there and I and I knew him
Jewish man and wonderful man I mean I
really enjoyed him over the years and
and I knew him as a as just a young boy
and so I went over there and I said
mister Howard it’s time for a new suit
go rate how God I had the money brother
God had blessed me now back in those
days a hundred and sixty dollars for a
new suit son I’m gonna tell you what
that’s fifteen hundred eighteen hundred
dollar suit now the Lord had blessed me
Amen now at the where that thing with
them big pockets on the bag
I went in there and I knew right where
that suit walk Brian I just see it today
of course it was blue and so I I went
over there I put the suit on and and of
course he marked it up for me you know
and I went back in the dressing room and
you know put my jeans back on my Becca
and I walked up over there and man I was
so excited to get to do this I got the
cash brother and I just laid that cash
down there on the on the counter and he
pushed it back at me he said Kenneth
while you were in the dressing room a
man came in here and paid for you soon I
said who he said he swore me to secrecy
and said I was done that now that this
is this is Jewish menu they said I was
to tell you that Jesus bought it for you
and he said I believe it see he’s
already working on the other side don’t
ever ever ever forget that particularly
in the realm of finances always he’s
working on the other side when it came
time to go across the Jordan he already
had his angels over there he already had
that place staked out scared stuffing
out of everybody over there where
they’re just sitting there waiting to
surrender because they heard what I’m
the Pharaoh Brown that whole army boy
they won’t know that hey that’s the
reason the devil do his best to try to
get you attention on this side amen
so there’s another thing about finances
very very unique it’s different from
healing is different from any and using
your faith for any other part of your
Redemption
you cannot buy by yourself you can’t
sell by yourself you can’t give by
yourself and you can’t receive by
yourself someone else is involved in
every financial transaction and you may
be doing you may be praying with
somebody and they got a big smile on
their face and they don’t bleed nothing
you were saying or you know they’re
there you’re doing business with
somebody and heard really nice to you
while you’re there and you leave and
they hope you crash and burn so you’re
always dealing in the natural realm when
it comes finances but that’s the reason
it is so important to keep your faith in
line and walk in love all the time
amen walk in love all the time
faith works by love and grace works by
faith no love no faith no faith no grace
no grace forget it
because that’s where all the blessings
are that’s what makes the blessing of
the Lord work is the grace of God
hallelujah God’s grace is his
overwhelming desire to treat you and me
as if sin had never happened next time
you see the commercial where they got
the green trucks and green people green
uniforms and they come in after a flood
or after a storm you know and they run
in there with all the green equipment
they clean everything up and they drive
away like it never even happened
I saw that and I said that’s what grace
is like it never even happened
Jesus
amen and clean it up oh-ho-ho-ho hallelu
glow ring surely you found Latian six
but not verse six we have never ever in
49 years and eight months of ministry we
have never raised money now enough don’t
misunderstand me
I’m not putting down other ministries
that doesn’t what they do is none of my
business I’m doing what the Lord
instructed me to do
he said I’m holding you responsible for
the laws that govern abundance that
means I’m gonna have to walk in it
III can’t sidestep and and continue to
walk in revelation concerning the the
economy of heaven and the kingdom of God
if I’m not gonna walk in it I can’t do
that so now however but I would suggest
you don’t try to pay for your church
with with bake sales and there’s been a
lot of chickens gave their lives by
little rickety churches forgive me
oh no we got week new better than that
but think about it I had the Lord say
this to me he said I have churches that
owe money to the Mafia and they don’t
even know it because they didn’t they
didn’t know they borrowed it from a bank
or a source where mob money was behind
it so you enter into a covenant to get
somebody’s money to do what you want to
do then what they have in their life
just got a door into your life and
there’s a lot of those folks there’s a
lot of bankers you don’t you don’t want
them in your life particularly in these
days anyway here we go let him that is
taught in the world have you been taught
in the word this week communicate or
respond unto him that teaches in all
good things don’t be deceived God is not
mocked for whatsoever a man sows that
shall he also reap now remember here in
the fifth chapter of the book of
Galatians we find the fruit of the
Spirit we find the fruit of the flesh
listed here in the fifth chapter of the
book of Galatians verse 16 I say then
walk in the spirit and you will not
fulfill the lust of the flesh for the
flesh lusteth against the spirit now
you’ll notice the the english
translators put a large s there do you
realize that in the greek there are no
punctuation marks in there and there’s
no capital letters so it was just at the
privilege of the
translator the more you study this the
more you realize he’s not talking about
the Holy Spirit he’s talking about
you’re in my reborn spirit because your
flesh is not fighting the Holy Spirit
your flesh is fighting you and your
spirit is standing up against your flesh
and we can refer to the book of Romans
which also the Apostle Paul wrote by the
Holy Spirit and and you put these put
those books side by side and you can see
that’s exactly what he’s talking about
so now notice this he said the flesh
puts pressure against the spirit and
your spirit against the flesh for these
are contrary one to the other so that
you cannot do the things that you would
but if you be led of the Spirit you are
not under the law now the works of the
flesh are manifest which of these here’s
manifestation of sowing to the flesh
adultery fornication uncleanness
lasciviousness idolatry witchcraft
hatred variance emulations wrath strife
seditions heresies envyings murders
drunkenness revellings and such like of
the which I tell you before as I have
told you in times past they that do such
things and not inherit the kingdom of
God but the fruit of the Spirit is love
joy peace long-suffering gentleness
goodness faith or faithfulness meekness
temperance against such there is no law
and they that are Christ’s they that are
in Christ have crucified the flesh with
the affections and the lust if we live
in the spirit let us also walk in the
spirit let us not be desirous of vain
glory provoking one another envying one
another now come back down again let him
that’s taught in the word respond unto
him that teaches in all good things
don’t be deceived God is not mocked for
whatsoever a man sows that shall he also
reap he’s talking
about what he just listed there where
whatever you sow is if you’re sewing on
the flesh side you’re going to reap the
flesh curse it’s what you’re going to
read sewing on the spirit side you reap
reap or you’re developing the fruit of
the Spirit against these there is no law
hallelujah so the devil has no defense
against you when you’re walking in the
spirit now notice this very very
carefully now he that shows to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption but
he that sews to the spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting let us not
be weary in well-doing for in due season
we shall reap if we faint not
life everlasting that word in greek is
zowie translated everlasting life
translated in this case life everlasting
it is the life of God the life of God is
in your born-again spirit amen his life
is in there that so a life is inside you
now here’s one thing we know the so or
souls the word we’ve sold a lot of word
in here since Thursday night
I can guarantee you because Jesus said
it Satan’s coming some of you he’s
already he’s already done his best start
trying to talk out of it amen
don’t let him steal it
hallelujah now jesus said these are they
by the wayside who have no root in
themselves now we’re supposed to be
rooted and grounded in love how no root
in themselves and when persecution and
affliction arise listen for the words
say that persecution didn’t rise to
teach you something you maybe got sense
enough to learn something out of it but
that’s not the reason it came God didn’t
do it the devil did it trying to steal
the word off either he’s trying to kill
you he comes now listen he doesn’t come
to kill steal and destroy no Jesus said
he came to steal kill and destroy before
he can kill you before he can destroy
you
he’s got to steal the word the word is
is enemy it is he he has no defense
against it so he’s got to talk you out
of it somewhere don’t let him father I
pray that every person in the sound of
my voice recalls these words in the days
and hours to come and Satan comes try to
steal the word that they just stomped
their foot and said no bless God Satan
you ain’t taking the word out of me I’m
healed just like us like I believed I
received Saturday morning at 11:45
hallelujah the sixth day of August 2015
and an aha
oh you know what Nana hi Chicago oh
we’re in Anchorage that’s good

said count it and divide it up equally
among the whole congregation and give
him back

seed dummy why he didn’t call me dummy I
call me dummy because they didn’t catch
on hearing it and that’s what we did

boarding area and this is years and
years ago and the ministry the the
Gloria was the photographer back then I
mean Gloria was the photography she sold
books at the table I did the preaching
and then I’ll tell you what even
there were times that I would go back
behind the platform and put on my
overalls and people didn’t recognize me
with my overalls on and I’d come out
there and start breaking down their
system Oh God
Amy well I mean we’re out there you know
and so I had that camera there’s a
little canon camera nice camera
I had it on my shoulder well I got up to
go get on the airplane

gonna sew it fast and they can steal it
and I said Lord we’re believing you for
an icon icon if and I want to thank you
for it in the name of Jesus that’s my
seed from an icon well we went we went
to San Francisco where we were preaching
out there full gospel businessmen for a
week and so man I’ve been in that hotel
I hadn’t gotten out of it in several
days we’ve been just one service rut
after another I said come on Gloria
we’re going to get out of here and
they’d leave walk around the block we’re
just walking along there’s just some
little some some little storefront you
know a little small to showcase windows
and door in the middle just row after
row up and we’re walking along there and
out of the cone amount is almost like
that $20 bill in Oklahoma City I saw it
out of the corner of my eye and I went
back over there and I look then in the
corner of the case there was a Nikon F
camera now how many of you know what a
Nikon F is all right now listen to me
now so I went in there I said I’d like
to know how much that that Nikon you
have in display case she said a Nikon
little Japanese girl and I said yeah so
within the display case she went over
there and looked and got it out and I
could tell she never saw that before
she said just a minute let me go ask my
dad so he came back out there and he
didn’t he doesn’t speak any English and
I said how much you want for this Nikon
el otoño and I so I turned around her to
her and she says make him an offer
he don’t know it’s in there either I had
$250 with him traveler’s checks in my
pocket two hundred and fifty dollars
even back there then wouldn’t buy that
box because bath in that was about just
the camera body was round 750 800
something like that and and so I said
well how about how about $200

the lens come with camera ice okay
that’s good
well I’m believing God for 100
millimeter lens we get to Hawaii and I’m
excited over this because I know me I
know my seeded working brother amen we
get to Hawaii and witness out walking
around and we walk past camera store and
so I had a big chemistry with on colu so
we walk past there and I said good let’s
go in and see if they got 100 millimeter
Nikon lens we walked in there and I now
saw one up on the top shelf there young
saying in a minute okay and I saw it up
there I said what in that isn’t that 100
millimeter Nikon lens case up there he
said it looks like it doesn’t it
he said I’ve died but I don’t I don’t
know where it came from but he said I
guess somebody maybe left it here on
consignment or something he said i I’ve
never seen that I said could you get it
down when he had to go get a stick you
know and get up there like that and
clamp that thing and pick it up and down
and sure enough pristine condition
brand-new I said what do you want for it
he hadn’t got any idea he’s slim to
glass the balls he goes and ask the boss
he came back he came back
Texas talking he came back and he said
how about 100 bucks
I said Stan real Steve
I rest my case
don’t ever let anybody steal from you so
it it’s worth more as a seed than it is
for us as a sale because it’s worth a
hundred times when you saw it
hallelujah
