I remember Steve but haven't heard of him in years. Lots of years.
As for the backward masking thing, I still have a tape of what was recorded backwards on a 70's song. Pretty creepy stuff. They don't do that backward masking thing anymore do they?

richard heard pastors in dallas now i believe, has for many years, timmons could not even hold a candle to heard as far as scaring the life out of people no joke, i sat thru several of his revivals as a teen and a college student, scary stuff, hundreds got the hg and then a few months later, they were all gone, no kidding, dt
I received the Holy Ghost in 1978...Bro. Heard was preaching in Jackson, MS. I'm still here!!!! So they are not ALL gone!
Richard Heard was a popular UPC "End Tme / Revelation / Prophecy preacher back in the mid to late 1970's and possible into the very early 1980's.
He was famous for scaring folks. Bus loads of folks would come in to be scared to Jesus. A lot of people would come to the Lord or reconsecrate out of abject fear of the future then of course were backslid or gone as soon as the fear left.
I personally know of a church where after six months of this most of the young people were so depressed many backslid and one pregnant young wife was literally in depression over bringing a child into the world.
Imagine my surprise when in the late 80's or early 90's I heard Richard Heard was going to be preaching at my church the next Sunday. I was in dread all week expecting the gloom and doom show. I was shocked when he preached a good sermon that had nothing to do at all with what he was famous for. It was very uplifting and positive.
I guess whoever sprinkled the charismatci dust on him did a good job! I have not heard him preach since so I don't know what he is like and of course can't judge by one sermon but I sure liked the new Richard Heard a lot better than the old one.

i sure am glad to hear that sis, god bless you, i was there at that revival and the one the year after, a student at jcm, i am glad to hear you are still in the way, dt

Thanks dt!
My mom came into the church that year...I think sometimes the Lord shields new converts from "stuff". So much was going on with JCM and other things...and we were just so excited to have the Holy Ghost...we didn't know what else was going on. God is so good.
But I do understand your points about the revivals back then...the place would be packed...and it was so scary at times. . I remember some movie they showed about the rapture...yikes! And the slide shows with the numbers 666 everywhere! I really didn't think we'd make it to the 80's!
CC1,
That's really sad so many were affected in that negative sort of way...balance...balance...we need balance....
Thanks dt!

My mother was won to the Lord while serving on Jury Duty...with Donna Fisher! She really was a good friend to my mom...and her daughters would come and pick me up for all the youth activities. They were so precious to us...she never filled mom in about what was going on with the school...she's a classy, smart woman.

RH actually pastors in Houston...has changed a lot through the years...
It was at his church in Houston that the famous Tommy Tenney lightening bolt split the pulpit incedent happened that was reported in Charisma magazine about 10 years ago and Tommy wrote about in God Chasers...
Interesting to some...the church RH pastors is the same church that was started by Verbal Bean and his mother...mostly his mother if I remember correctly....
I have pictures of them during the beginning of that church....my mom played the piano for them in those early days...
