STEVE: Raymond, don’t lie to me. And this is just like three or four days ago. We do this non-stop, once again. He goes, he goes, “Lie? To you?” He goes, “Sir, I know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and I would never lie to you because if I did I would burn in the Lake of Fire.”

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)

STEVE: (laughs) Scott, it was perfect man, it was like, I mean Raymond, good for you, man, it’s like…

AUIENCE: (LAUGHTER) STEVE: Revelation 21:8, man, you not only know the Lord, you know the scripture. But I am at a place, um, because of what I’ve just passed through. I passed through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Um, melanoma cancer has no cure. Everyone dies. Now for those of you that are “hyper faith,” whatever you want to be. There’s not a man, woman, or child listening to me around this world or right in this room that has more faith than I do.

When one of the top leaders in this nation was dying, pastor of a 20,000 member church. He died of cancer. His wife called us when his corpse, his body was lying on the bed. She called us, I think 3 or 4 in the morning, and said this “Steve, Jeri, raise him from the dead! I’m laying his phone on his chest.” And these were, by the way, hyper faith movement, but they also knew [Steve motions] he died. So, um, I have just gone through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

My wife bought about a year and a half ago two burial plots. I planned my funeral. I was given a few days to live. And uh, there may be people listening that you’ve been there before, but most people haven’t. Uh, I didn’t know her name. I called my wife, I called her George for a year. I didn’t know where I was. I couldn’t understand television. I couldn’t stand Christian music. I couldn’t read the Bible. I couldn’t understand anything in the Bible. When I looked at it the words went like this [Steve motions side to side] and it almost made me throw up. I had been on chemo for three years. My wife after we’d go through 9 months of chemo treatments be driving back and forth from Houston  and my wife would pull over.
