The Gadarene Demoniac (0:02)

Preacher Rev. Roger Powell opens mid-sermon, expounding on the Gospel story of the demon-possessed man at Gadera (Mark 5 / Matthew 8).

…Powerful man.

Wrong with him then. See, and he was possessed with so many of them, a legion of devils. And there was a herd of swine feeding on the hillside. In other words, they did not want to be cast out without going into something else. They wanted to go into these hogs, and he bid them to go in. There were approximately 2,000 head of hogs, and they were all drowned in the sea over the cliff.

That’s right.

And so that’s enough to teach us what can happen to a man. Really, when a man gets possessed with devils, he is a powerful man. When it said, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,” that’s when he is converted.

And then it walketh through dry places, seeking rest and finding none. Then it returns to the house which it came out of. In other words, we are called houses. Our personal body is called a house. It is a temple, really, for God to dwell in. But when the devil gets in there, he’ll wreck it and tear it up.

Henry Harrison Mayes – On Race and the principles of Jesus. (02:32)

Mayes talks about racial unity and the principles of Jesus.

I believe in one race. Get me now. While this is taking place, there’d be a lot of unrest, but when it was over, race prejudices will be away from this earth. White, the colored, yellow, all blended in one race because we’re all God’s people. And I’m no better than the colored men. I’m no better than the yellow men, Chinese, nothing. We’re all God’s race. So, like it or not, that’s the principles of Jesus.

Lilly Mayes and her faith (3:33)

Interviewer asks Lilly Mayes how she feels about her faith life.

Lilly Mayes: I’ll tell you what I’m worrying about. I want to know that I make it safe to heaven. I want to make a good landing up there. That’s my idea, and that’s what I worry about. That’s my aim: to make it in.

Interviewer: How do you feel that you do? Huh? How do you feel doing this?

Lilly Mayes: Well, I’ll tell you the way I feel. If we read the Bible and we live as close to it as we know how, to me now, I don’t feel like joining a church or shaking hands with a preacher is worth a dime unless we’ve got a heart already saved and the Lord has ruled our names in the Lamb’s Book of Life. That’s the way I believe it.

Testimony: Faith and Church (04:04)

Preacher: Saturday night, God anointed me to take a copperhead. And I’m going to tell you, I never had such anointing in my life, I don’t believe. And I sat right there. The anointing left me. And praise the Lord, then when I did go, I didn’t have as much faith as I would have had. Praise the Lord. If I’d have went on the first time, my brother did.

Congregation member: I don’t think I’ve ever felt like this before. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I’m just not much for words. I’m thankful. I’ve never felt… I’ve tried. And sometimes when I come up here, I mean, I go to church. I went to church and I believe in God, I do. But sometimes when I get home, I know I’m weak. I was weak. But I go home and something would happen, and I just get all this illusion. I just say, “Well, I’m not going to try. No, pull me back again.”

Preacher: Well, you know the reason that you didn’t get it at church? Because it wasn’t time yet. [unclear] Brother Alfred. Brother Alfred’s just as good a man as I am.

Congregation member: I know. I’m not doubting anybody. I know. It just… I just wouldn’t have it if you come out, I guess.

Preacher: And you know you’re saved now.

Congregation member: Yes.

Paul and the Spirit of Divination (05:15)

Speaker note: Unidentified preacher. He appears to refer to the Acts 16 story of Paul commanding a spirit to come out.

Preacher: And victory will come to you. It’ll come at midnight.

And Paul just turned around to that woman and said, “Demon, come out.” And the Bible said the demon came out. Amen. And that woman really worshiped God because…

Service (05:31)

Rev. Joe Turner at Jesus’ Church at Camp Creek, West Virginia

I know where I stand. And if you don’t know, you need to go and cry out: “Lord God, give me another double portion of your spirit.” Thank God.

Baptism (6:00)

As Jesus was baptized in the river of Jordan, when the Holy Ghost came down and lit upon his shore, we now baptize her in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Congregational Singing: “Higher Ground” (6:28)

The congregation sings a hymn, partially audible. Lyrics are fragmentary in the recording.

To higher ground — will not be your sing.
My soul is satisfied no longer.
I’m just walking with Jesus,
and I’m on my way
where the storm today — and the storm will be here tonight.
We’re all in joy and love…
I’m on my way to that night
where there will be no dear life,
where all the soul love and never die.

Where The Soul of Man Never Dies – Jean Schilling and Lee Schilling (07:26)

I’m on my way to Caanans Land

“Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley” (9:54)

A solo performance of the traditional spiritual.

Jesus walked this lonesome valley,
He had to walk it by himself.
Oh, nobody else could walk it for him,
He had to walk it by himself.

I must go and stand my trial.
I have to stand it by myself.
Nobody else can stand it for me,
I have to stand it by myself.

You must walk this lonesome valley.
You have to walk it by yourself.
Nobody else can walk it for you,
You have to walk it by yourself.

The Great Commission (11:47)

Preacher reads aloud from Mark 16:15–19.

And he said unto them: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere.

Overcoming the Devil’s Discouragement (12:24)

Preacher gives a personal anecdote about admitting a wrong to a fellow minister and facing the devil’s taunts.

The Lord — the devil makes Christian people to think it’s his grace in all their prayer. First thing he’ll tell you: “Well, there are people here that have confidence in you that won’t have the whole confidence.” But did you know what the greatest thing that you could do is to bow your heart in the presence of God, among God’s people, and ask God for mercy? Ask God to give you strength that you might be a light to someone else.

You know what the devil told me one time? I had to go meet one of my preaching brothers, and I told him: “Brother, I said some things wrong about you and I want you to forgive me for it.” And he did. You know, the devil told me, “Boy, that man will never have any more confidence in you.” I worried about that and worried about that. And then one night I stood up in the presence of my congregation — this man was there, too — and I said, “I said some things wrong about this man,” and I apologized to him. He forgave me, and God forgave me.

Harrison Mayes, Barn

You know, children, the devil said, “Well, your congregation will never have any more confidence in you.” But brother, I can tell you one thing: I find just a little bit higher on the letter, because my heart cleared up from there. That’s what God wanted me to do. And brother, I tell you, no matter how wrong or how bad it might seem in the eyes of man — if it be right with God, that’s all that matters. Because the Bible says: if God be for you, who can be against you? I’m glad God’s on my side tonight.

Song: The Old Rugged Cross (14:34)

There was an old rugged cross one time, stood on a hillside far away. They laid it down on the ground. They stretched out the only Son of God. They drove nails through his hands. They drove him to his feet. The blood ran down…

Invitation Song: “Weary Hearts, Come On In” (15:50)

Congregational invitation hymn, calling sinners and weary souls to the altar.

Well, weary hearts, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.
Weary heart, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.
Well, troubled mind, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.
Troubled mind, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.
Sinner friend, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.
Sinner friend, come on in
where the feast of the Lord is going on.

Jesus on that mainline (17:13)

Jesus on the mainline, tell Him what you want.
Jesus on the mainline, tell Him what you want.
Jesus on the mainline, tell Him what you want,
Just call Him up and tell Him what you want.

When I was praying, somebody — somebody touched me
glory, glory, somebody touched me, glory, glory.
He put it in the hand of the Lord.
When I was praying, somebody touched me.
When I was praying, somebody touched me, put him in the hand of the Lord.
Call him up. Call him up. Tell Him what you want?

God Gave His Son (18:54)

Preacher Rev. Pappy Gube Beaver preaches on God’s sacrifice.

Well, that’s what God did — He gave His son on the cross. His only Son. Only Son. And He didn’t say no. His Son didn’t say no. He said, “Yes, Father, that your will be done, but not mine.”

Does somebody come in tonight and say, “Brother Beaver, there’s a man out here who’s got a lost soul — it’s going to take your wife’s life to gain his soul”? It would be hard for me to say yes. I believe I’d say no. You see — but Jesus did this for us. Amen. Just give it a thought. Would we take one of our children, daddy? Would we take our husband? Would we take her brother or sister? Would you take your dear daughter down there and put her on a cross to see some soul saved? It would be hard to do, wouldn’t it? But Jesus did that. Woo! God — resurrection fire tonight. He did that for every one of us, and we’ve got so much to be thankful for.

Preaching at Gatlinburg (20:01)

Preacher recounts an impromptu street or motel witness in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and addresses shame in confessing Christ publicly.

The world is in turmoil tonight. Crowds are going here and they’re going there, and they haven’t got the Lord much on their mind.

You know, I got out up around here — Gatlinburg — with all those dignified, you call them people from California, New York, and all states of the whole continental country. And somebody said, “Aren’t you ashamed? Aren’t you ashamed to get out that old guitar and start praising the Lord?”

I said, “No, I believe I’ve got more than most of them people got.” I said, “They are dignified, but thank God I’m sanctified.”

Glory to God. I’d rather be sanctified anytime. Jesus said, “If you are ashamed to confess me down here in this old sinful and adulterous world, I’ll be ashamed to confess you before the Father which is in heaven.” And if you’re ashamed to confess the Lord in Gatlinburg or some other big city, you’re not where you ought to be.

I’m proud to confess that I live — I told those people — I got welcome from them that weren’t saved. I done everything but have an altar call. And I said, “If anybody here is not right, come up here and I’ll pray for you” — right there at the motel. I didn’t ask what the church said about it. Well, they enjoyed it. They enjoyed it.

See, the devil puts things in your mind: “Don’t do that, don’t do that.” But the Lord — the Bible says it’s better to obey God than man. Amen. Obey the Lord. I don’t care where you’re at.

But I’m not ashamed of Jesus. I’m proud of him. Aren’t you? Amen. If they want to call me a Holy Roller, that’s wonderful — thank God, it makes me shout. But he’s the Lord. I don’t want to roll in the heavens, rush down, and go to hell. I want to make a sound landing.

Song: Have a little talk with Jesus (21:47)

Song Fragment: “And Can It Be” (22:10)

Congregational singing of the Charles Wesley hymn.

Amazing love, how can it be
that thou, my Lord, should die for me?
How can it be?

On Obeying God’s Anointing (22:03)

Preacher at tent revival returns to the copperhead episode from earlier as a lesson on immediate obedience.

I’ll do whatever God anoints me. You do whatever God anoints you to do. If you don’t do it, I’ll tell you what you’ll do — you will be at home and you will be sad because you didn’t obey God. Now that’s exactly what it’ll be. So don’t go away sorry.

I went away sorry last Saturday night. God anointed me to take up a copperhead. And I’m going to tell you, I never had such anointing in my life, I don’t believe. And I sat right there, the anointing left me. And praise the Lord, when I did go I didn’t have as much faith as I would have had. Praise the Lord. If I went on the first time — my brother-in-law — the first thing that God gives you to do: do it quickly. And I tell you, Satan can’t get among and do nothing against you. Praise the Lord.

The Great Commission (Repeated Reading) (23:33)

Preacher at tent revival reads aloud again from Mark 16:15–20, this time in fuller form.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. But he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere — the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Who Jesus Was (24:38)

Preacher at tent revival expounds on the divine nature of Christ.

Bless the Lord. A lot of people think that he was just another baby born in this world. But I’m going to tell you who Jesus was: He was God from heaven who came down here and took upon himself the nature of man. Praise God. He took upon himself a body — a flesh body — which was the Word made flesh and dwelling among men. And a lot of people deny that he was the Lord from heaven. They think he was just another child that was born. But he was God. He had to have this flesh body to spill blood. He came — he had the blood to shed — he took on a flesh body. But it will be triumph.

Victory at Midnight (25:19)

Preacher uses the account of Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16) to encourage the congregation.

That’s the way victory will come to you — it’ll come at midnight. Oh, praise God! Something happened at midnight, glory to God, that changed the whole situation. Glory to God. The Bible said the silence — the silence was lifted, hallelujah — and it was lifted because two old Church of God preachers began to sing songs at midnight and have a midnight prayer.

I want to tell you, my friend, that’s the way it happens. I believe that whatever situation we’re in, if we have God in our heart and life, we can sing and rejoice and praise and glorify God. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah.

On Speaking and Silence Before God (26:17)

Rev. Joe Turner at Jesus’ Church at Camp Creek, West Virginia reflects on restraint and accountability in speech.

I said: you show me a silent Christian, I’ll show you a scar — because the name of God, brother. Hallelujah. Amen.

God, knowing — if you don’t know, cry as you cry now: “Lord God, give me another double portion of your spirit.” Amen. I believe I’m here to tell you tonight: you ever got to have — you got the Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost will fill all of the mystery until you thank God upon the table. Hallelujah. You wouldn’t have to seek. Thank God. It’s called the Spirit of God. It’s a deepness in God. When I hear you, it lets me know that there’s something —

Different Preacher (27:45)

I stand here tonight. I’d rather — because I don’t want to stand out. I thought he said: let every word, let a man speak — let each shall give account on the day of judgment. I’d rather listen. If we just use our words, how are we going to be exchanged — I’d rather face damnation. If we let it stand out all day long, and it’s hot, and then we got on for God, and then we got into the battlefield.

Instrumental / Worship Interlude (28:37)

Rev. Joe Turner at ⛪ Jesus’ Church at Camp Creek, West Virginia

Extended musical and praise segment — largely non-verbal. Congregation worships. The recording captures the ambient sound of the service.

(Congregation worships in song and spoken praise.)

Return to the Gadarene Demoniac (32:03)

Rev. Roger Powell revisits the Mark 5 narrative in what appears to be a more teaching-oriented style, possibly in a separate session.

Really the foundation of it was where Jesus cast the devil out of the man — the Gadarenes. In other words, when he came across the sea and reached the land there, this man came out of the tombs, possessed with these demons. And he said, “Peace, be still.” In other words, he commanded them to come out. And when they came out — they left the man pure and whole; there was nothing wrong with him then.

See, and he was possessed with so many of them — a legion of devils. And in other words, they didn’t want to be cast out without going into something else. And they wanted to go into these hogs. And he bid them to go in, and there were approximately 2,000 head of hogs, and they were all drowned in the sea over the cliff. That’s right. But they owned this man.

And so that’s enough to teach us what can happen to a man. And really, when a man gets possessed with devils, he’s a powerful man. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man — that’s when he’s converted. And then it walketh through dry places seeking rest and finding none. Then it returns to the house which it came out of. In other words, we are called houses. Our personal body is called a house — it’s a temple, really, for God to dwell in. But when the devil gets in there, he’ll wreck it and tear it up.

Q&A: How to Cast Out Demons (34:00)

An interviewer or congregation member poses a question to the preacher about practical deliverance ministry.

Questioner: When you want to cast them out — what would you do? Like this girl last week — you just command them to come out? Well, do you pray over her for a long time first, or do you have a ceremony about it?

Preacher: No. No. Just — that’s where the work’s done. You just lay hands on them, command them to come out in the name of Jesus, and they are forced to go.

Congregational Worship: Laying On of Hands (34:48)

The congregation moves into a time of prayer and laying on of hands. Predominantly non-verbal — shouts of praise, spoken prayer over individuals.

Praise God. Put your hands up. Yes.
The earth shall — glory.
Thank you. Thank you, Jesus. Glory, glory, glory —
fill with the Spirit tonight, in the name of Jesus.
Fill up with the Spirit of God right now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory.
Thank you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Jesus, over and over and over and over — Jesus.
Hallelujah. Yes. Hallelujah. Jesus. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Jesus. …and will eternal victory.

Foot Washing — John 13 (39:00)

An unidentified preacher introduces foot washing by recalling Jesus washing Peter’s feet.

Preacher: “Why can’t — you cannot wash my feet?” I’m just going to read this off at my memory. And Jesus said, “All right, if I don’t wash your feet, Peter, you’ll have no part with me.” Amen. Peter turned around and said, “Not only my feet, but my head.”

That quickly — a little shame there, you know. Felt a little too proud. You know, nobody [would wash] my feet. Jesus said, “All right, I’ll make you this promise: if you’re not [willing] enough to let me wash your feet and to wash others’ feet, you’ll have no part of me.”

And Peter said, “Not only my feet, but my head and my feet.” Thank God he gave him that.

Now, why is it the scriptures, Brother Ray? It is the word of God. It is the scripture tonight. So the closer we get and the more we do find him, the happier we are.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come right now, God, as you’ll bless as we go into this washing of one another’s feet tonight, Lord. It’s not because they’re dirty. It’s because it’s of God. It’s because it’s your commandments. He said, “If I wash disciples’ feet, I want you to wash one another’s feet.” Lord, thank God, and Lord, we thank you for that tonight. I’m not ashamed of it, Lord. I want to praise you right now. And Lord, let the Holy Ghost, let the Holy Spirit, as they begin to wash these feet tonight, go all over their body, Lord. [Unclear], but God, let your spirit take the honor and the glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Praise God.

Amazing Grace / Foot-Washing Worship (41:00)

The SRT is fragmentary here. “Amazing Grace” is identifiable from the captured phrase “how sweet the sound” and “I was lost”; I have not filled in missing lyrics.

[Amazing Grace], how sweet the sound…
[unclear] might be.
I was lost.
Come on.
Glory to God.
[unclear]
[unclear] in the beginning.

Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Praise the Lord. All right, let’s have that [unclear]. [Unclear] wonderful.

Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Praise God.
Glory.
Praise God. Thank you, Jesus.

Preacher (prayer): Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Oh, God, heal him tonight. Yes, Lord. Jesus. Lord God, let the Holy Ghost go [unclear] like it never had before. Praise the Lord. Praise God. Thank you for my help and everything. Thank you. Thank you. Praise God. Jesus. [Unclear.]

Prayer Over a Serpent / Continued Praise (45:10)

Come on up. Come on up. Come on up. I command you in Jesus’ name.
I command you in Jesus’ name. Come on. Yes, I do. Yes, Lord.

Preacher (prayer over serpent): Come on, Jesus, in your precious name, God. We ask you, Lord, to send the anointing. God, if you want the serpent to [unclear], Lord God, if you don’t want [unclear], Jesus, Lord, that’s all right. Lord, according to your will, we ask in the name of Jesus. Precious name, praise your name. Hallelujah.

Yes.
Jesus, [your] will be done.
Yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord.
Jesus…
…name.
Jesus. Jesus.
Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Lord Jesus.
God, in the name of Jesus. Lord God of heaven.
Lord, your name, Jesus. God, we ask you, Jesus.
Yes, Lord.
Jesus [unclear]. Jesus. Thank you.
Jesus, in your precious name, Savior.
Yes, Jesus.
Lord, in the name of Jesus.
In your name, Jesus.
Jesus, Lord Jesus.

Closing Song: “I Was Standing by My Window” (47:32)

I was standing by my window
on that cold and cloudy day
when I saw that chariot coming
for to carry me away…
in the sky, in the sky.
Oh my God. Oh my —
Good old down for me.
Heaven up everybody and love everybody —
for me. God for me.


For the transcript, I used an LLM to structure the text and fix transcription errors. I tried to identify individuals, locations, and scenes based on Dickinson’s book REVIVAL!.
