The Hippie Cult Leader

Sometime ago in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Dr. Lester Sumrall and I were working together in a meeting—a three-day meeting sponsored by the Full Gospel Businessmen in the YMCA building close to the bypass that goes around Chattanooga. At a morning service—the service was just about over, and we were fixing to close the meeting—Dr. Sumrall and I were standing at the altar together, and a young man began to approach the altar, walking up the aisle, and he looked like he came from another world.

He had long hair, a long beard, a sleeveless shirt, tight jeans, Indian moccasins, a leather headband, a long necklace around his neck. Tattoos covered his arms, and a black bag was tied around each wrist and hanging down. As he approached us, I remembered, he said, "Something is playing tricks on my mind. Something has been talking to my mind, and it told me to come in here, and told me to come up to the front."

We just gently reached our hands out to him with a welcome and said, "All right, just let us pray for you." And we immediately made our approach directly to him and took him by the hands gently, and said in no uncertain terms, "Now, Satan, in Jesus' name we command you to come out of him."

And the moment we said that, he broke and began to cry. He was just sobbing. He was crying just like he'd lost his best friend. He kept on crying and crying and crying. Finally, when he could get some words out he said, "God, I didn't know that You loved me."

He kept on crying and saying, "God, I didn't know that You loved me." He kept this up for about thirty minutes, and after about thirty minutes, he said, "You-all, I didn't know that you loved me."

I finally got a chance to talk to him, and the power of God was all over him. He looked so gentle, like a little lamb. He looked at me and said, "I didn't know that God loved me. I didn't even know that God existed and was real."

I said, "Where did you come from?"

He said, "I run a hippie house in Nashville, Tennessee. Me and another boy were on our way to Florida to get a load of acid to take back to the hippie house to sell—and our car broke down out here on the bypass, and my friend wired home for some money to get the car fixed. We were just waiting for the car to get fixed and go on to Florida."

I said, "Well, thank God that trip was cancelled."

And he said, "That's right. I'm not going to Florida to buy acid to take back to feed to the young people."

I asked, "Have you been on dope very long yourself?" He said he had been using it for several years.

I asked, "Didn't you ever realize in your life that God was real?" And he said no.

He looked like he was about twenty-three years of age.
