Carlton Pearson

If you're not doing well, let's find a way to get well, look well, and of course, you already know it, be well.

Right now, we are gonna praise with Carlton Pearson.

The awesome power of the Holy Ghost To touch each and every person that's in this room.

Reach over and tell somebody that the Holy Ghost is here for you tonight.

And I really believe, as we've already sung tonight, that the Holy Ghost is gonna rain on us.

I want you to put your hands

together for the one, the only, Bishop Carlton Pearson.

Thank you.

It's just, if it looks like it's easy, it's easy.

His yoke is? And his burden is? Hey, Tessa, you can take some time with this, but can you find Fred Price rebuking Carlton Pearson when he said it's hard being in the ministry? I like to play this when I feel.

This is how I've never, this is my antidepressant is watching Carlton Pearson get rebuked by Fred Price.

I've always enjoyed watching other people get yelled at.

I have a whole playlist on YouTube of managers yelling at umpires.

Don't become proud at that time and forget the Lord your God, [coughs] who res- [clears throat] Tessa, if you would, get it specifically to the part...

I mean, I'll, you can play the beginning part, too.

But then, like, make sure it gets to the part where Fred Price tells Carlton Pearson, "You're complaining about stuff," and tells all the stuff he could complain about if he wanted to, but that he's not a baby.

That's who they were going at because they were there.

Although, and I'm trying to think of Pearson.

Carlton Pearson.

Bishop Carlton Pearson.

Worked with, oh my gosh, I forgot the name of the group.

It'll come to me.

But he was one of the first crossovers because he traveled with their, what was the, it's a white evangelist that he used to travel with.

Carlton Pearson.

Um, again, there's a lot of one and done authors.

Um, I mean, if you consider, you know, stuff that's way, way out like, um, I don't know if you're familiar with the movie, um, it was a Netflix movie called Come Sunday from a few years ago about, uh, Bishop Carlton Pearson.

It was with, um, uh, uh-

No, I'm not familiar with it

it was the pr- uh, it was with, uh, Chiwet- uh, Chiwetel Ejiofor, the actor from, um, [lip smacks] uh, from, uh, The Martian and Doctor Strange.

Um, you'd, you'd recognize him if- 12 Years a Slave was his big, um, his big starring role.

So that was a, that was a movie about, um, Carlton Pearson, who was, he's passed away since, but he was, uh, um, a Pentecostal.

You mentioned the Pentecostal, but he was one of the Pentecostal bishops I worked with early in my career, who, um, decided that, uh, hell didn't exist and started preaching that, and lost his entire congregation, lost his home, almost lost his marriage.

You got religious people everywhere that blocked the power of God.

When I was going to one, I was going to Carlton Pearson's church.

I loved it.

Great music, but they didn't do altar calls.

It, it just, I just had so much support.

Bishop Carlton Pearson, Gina Pearson.

So much support at that time.

And somebody yelled out in the audience that evening, "Zimra, you need to do this annually."
