Some of these other people here, and the Holy Spirit pounded on my heart that if I didn't go down front and surrender this one thing, I was through. Through. You know what that one thing was? It was my attitude.
I had a negative and critical attitude. I came down here and surrendered that, and I can tell you right now I have liberty. Liberty.
I'm free. He has all of me. All of me.
And he'll have all of me here and all of me for all eternity.
