but it says,

when the kings

and their sons would sin,

the generational sin

would go from one family

to the next

unless somebody in the family

would get before the Lord

and say,

"Okay, God,

forgive me for this."

I'm not doing this anymore."

Somebody has to stop the sin

or else that sin runs

from one family to the next.

Okay, a topic based blog here.

Today's topic will be religion.

God. I don't believe God

is a father figure

white-haired man up in heaven.

I don't believe in the fear

that is in the bible.

The fear tactics

that are used in the bible.

I believe in love.

Treating someone else

as you would like to be treated

is my number-one...

rule.

The more I pray,

and the more I read

about this stuff,

the more I believe

God wants me here.

Now, wait a minute,

if that doesn't happen,

I can accept that.

Okay.

The more I hear you saying,

God wants to heal you.

God wants to heal you,

and I'm like, hmm,

that's interesting because

it says in the bible

that we don't know God's mind.

No, that's not true.

It does say that though.

So are you saying

that since I'm--

I'm not saying--

Since I'm sick

and if I die it's because

I don't have the mind of Christ?

I'm not saying that at all.

I would never say that.

Never.

I'm feeling open

and a little bit

anxious and nervous.

How are you feeling?

About the same.

About the same.

Let's give Kevin a warm welcome.

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

It's a privilege

to be back here again.

I think we were here

about three years ago,

wasn't it?

Four years?

Three or four years ago.

When I started reading

that book,

I started feeling

inside of me

that I should lay hands

on my own son,

but I was scared,

just like he was,

because I didn't want it

to not work.

Well, just do it.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

We're gonna get there.

This whole thing's

gonna be easier, Michel.

It's gonna take time.

KEVIN:

We're gonna focus

on ourselves right now,

and we're gonna put our hand

on our body parts.

Later, we'll put our hands

on other people.

Later on.

But we'll start here first.

And then I want us to sing

"It's The End of My Pain

As I Know It."

Are you ready?

Let's do it, Kevin.

It's the end of my pain

as I know it

It's the end of my pain

as I know it

It's the end of my pain

as I know it

And I feel fine

KEVIN:

Okay, now, check your body out.

Try to make it heard.

Try to do something

that you couldn't do before.

I'm gonna go run.

See if there's 10 percent,

20 percent, 30 percent

difference,

50 percent,

100 percent improvement,

some kind of improvement.

Come on, try to make it heard

real quick.

Now, wave your hand if you had

some kind of improvement.
