His death on the cross and the blood of his body gives us the authority to

accept him as our Savior.

So we praise him.

Praise him with me now. Repeat.

Praise Jesus.

I can't hear you.

One day I asked God how to receive and give love.

So I started to pray.

And then out of my mouth came without me thinking, Dear Lord, I love my enemies.

I talk to God like he's here because now I know he is.

Sisters that work out here, brothers that work out here, we're going to have

great night. We're going to have a good night. We're all going to feel the power

of God. Some of you are going to feel the power of God personally like you've

never felt power before.

Now in his name, in his glory, in his righteousness.

I would like to present to you brothers and sisters, the choir.

Don't worry, we've got some good ones tonight.

Who wants to be the first to feel the power of him?

Red hat, second row, stage left, arthritis.

Sister.

Red hat, come forward. Jesus has a word with you.

Okay,

stage right, blue jacket.

Wanted to be seated there, but he can't hear and he's right here. Feel the blue

jacket. Man with the blue jacket.

Come down.

The Lord just told me he wants you to hear me.

Third row, middle, polka dot dress.

Her husband is leaving her. Dear sister in the polka dot dress, the Lord can

heal broken hearts.

You come and stand before him.

Your arthritis causes you great pain.

In the name of Jesus, I pray, dear Lord, take her disabilities away right now.

How do you feel?

I feel different.

Make this believer's heart and his ears and restore it to the way it was when he

was born, the way it was, it will be.

Praise the Lord.

Dear heart, I ask God to bring you joy and take away the pain that's been in

your heart for so long.

I say in his name that for this to be done now, I heal.

How do you feel?

Oh, I feel loved.

Oh, thank you.

Don't thank me. Thank you.

God bless you, dear.

You've warmed the heart of Jesus with your presence. God bless you all.

God bless you.

God

bless

you. Sarah, talk to me.

No, he's not on here. I don't have him.

How were any surprises?

I was right by the doors when the audience came in, Ezra. You know that.

But I didn't see him. I don't have his story.

Okay, keep going.

Talk to me, brother.

Where's your faith?

I don't feel it.

If you don't have faith, trust, and belief in him, you will be a loser.

your faith?

Dear Lord, I pray to take my brother into your arms and let him walk.

In the name of Jesus, I command you to stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Good.

Good.

Stand up. Stand up for Jesus.

That's good.

You're standing.

That's good.

I'm going to let you go on your own.

A most wondrous one. This man came out of the woods.

Never seen him before, never felt him before.

Nevertheless, he came up, he received the Spirit, he received the faith and

love and the praise, and he's walking.

He's walking.

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the

picture. We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

Faith is the bedrock of our religious beliefs.

But what happens when that foundation is shaken to its core?

Now that was A1 prime old -time religion in his past. Well, it's prime A1

something, but I don't know if you could call it.

In seeking, you shall find. Let's go see this thing.

Good evening. I'm Ezra Burnham.

This is my lovely daughter, Sarah.

Not much of a talker, huh?

My name is Luke.

This is Serena, my mother.

It's a pleasure, Serena. Hello.

Hi.

Welcome, Luke.

That was shivering back there.

The power of God is so moving.

It was an illusion.

I'm glad you liked it.

We can do more.

Are one or both of you affiliated with a law enforcement agency?

No, we're not.

60 Minutes, National Enquirer, Dateline, NBC.

Jesus doesn't have a good rapport with the media. Have to be careful.

You are a great man. People like you and...

They listen to you, and I would like my son to learn from you.

Excuse me?

I would like you to teach Luke how to be a preacher.

That's very flattering, Serena.

But I'm not in the disciple business.

We both hope you've been inspired in some way tonight.

God bless you.

We can make you famous.

You like the illusion, no?

There are more like it. I'm not in the business of deceiving people.

Good evening.

But these illusions are very convincing.

And they could fill your tent with people and money.

Whoa! Yeah!

That's good, that's good, that's good.

Are you nuts?

Yes, I'm nuts.

N -U -T -S.

Never underestimate the spirit.

This is wonderful, what's happening.

Okay, you tell me the downside.

We have some kid following us around.

I give a powerful anointed finale every night.

I look at him, I see what he does, I figure it out, and we remove him. I

You just what?

I don't know. I don't know. There's something about this guy.

Are you jealous?

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on.

Honey, no one's ever going to replace you. You're my daughter, whom I love

much.

impossible. Love you, Sarah.

I

talk

to God like he's here because now I know he is.

We're going to have a great night. We're going to have a good night. We're all

going to feel the power of God. Some of you are going to feel the power of God

first. Let the Lord come through you. Let his passionate

anointing come through you.

Praise the Lord.

In his name.

Be healed.

B -I -B -L -E. Basic instructions before leaving earth.

Isn't this wonderful?

Do you feel the spirit of the Lord in you tonight? Because he's in this room

with us at this moment.

Let's start louder now.

Praise Jesus!

Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!

Hi,

um, Mr. Luke?

Yes. Hi.

I was in the audience tonight.

I thought you were just amazing.

Your spirit is strong in you.

Thank you.

Cindy. Cindy.

Would you like to come in?

I've come to a decision.

It's time for Luke to go on stage and preach.

He's charismatic and he's so natural.

You know, I don't think that that's such a good idea.

Why?

Look, I know that you think that those things he does are tricks.

Yeah? Well, I'm not so sure anymore.

You said you were going to figure it out, right?

Have you?

Because I've tried.

I've tried and I come up completely blank.

Come on.

Come on. What if there is something else going on here?

Something wrong?

I mean, I know they ain't the biggest in the country, but...

want you.

Not as much as I want you.

What's wrong?

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

Pick a tree on the other side and walk straight toward that tree.

What a friend we have in Jesus. Do you know

what nut stands for?

Nut stands for...

Ezra? Ezra?

Hey.

I needed to go over to the light fuse with you.

I found this locket today.

I'm sorry?

The day you were born, I gave her this locket.

And I promised I'd be there for her.

I'd care for her and I'd love her and I'd protect her.

But I failed.

I put my faith in you.

And he ignored her.

And she suffered horribly.

Oh, I want you to practice your English.

I have their trust.

You have done so well that you're ready for the next step.

I am bringing Reverend Garland here tonight, and I want you to impress

him.

Can I help you, officer?

Sheriff Norman Bryan.

Ezra Burnham.

Pleasure. I wonder if I could have a word, sir.

If you're talking about the permits for the assembly, I have those in my

trailer. No, it's not about the permits. Okay.

We've had a few disappearances in Oregon and Washington over the last month or

so. Young women?

Yeah.

I read about that.

That's terrible.

Well, these disappearances...

They coincide with your visits.

You don't think I had anything to do with it? Oh, no, no, no.

I'm not implying that you had anything to do with it.

But I have seen your show. It's very impressive.

I could see where a young girl might want to join up.

This is the ministry, Sheriff.

This is not a commune or a carnival.

I'm not in the habit of picking up runaways.

I'm in the habit of saving them.

I understand.

All the same, I wonder if I might take a look around.

I'd like for you to stay for my testimony.

You might find something in your heart that's wanting to get out.

God bless you.

Praise the Lord! Brothers and sisters, I have

a special treat for you tonight.

A new generation of God's servants.

Ah, he's here, and you may have heard about him, but let his word speak

him. Welcome, Brother Luke.

Welcome, my friend.

Welcome to salvation.

Many of you are looking for the way.

You're looking for answers.

I'm here to tell you that I have those answers.

That's right, I have those answers.

It's not money that's going to get you into the kingdom of heaven.

It's faith.

I don't know.

Are you ready to fight the fight?

Are you ready to follow without question and do whatever he asks of you?

Who will be the first to feel his power?

Okay, Luke.

Woman in the purple suit. Third row has catered.

guy's not on our list what happened to your ear brother i

lost it in a thresher when i was a kid do you want the lord to heal your ear

brother yes reverend look what are you doing i said do you want

Hear us, Lord.

You want to explain that? What?

Don't play innocent with me.

The ear and that wind, where did the wind come from?

It was the power of God.

I mean it.

It's okay with me if you keep your little tricks secret when it comes to

levitation or bleeding on cue, but this is different.

Why?

Did it scare you?

Of course not.

And what is this about the armor of God and the sword of the spirit?

Just using what you taught me, following your lead. I didn't give you that lead.

And I did not give you this coat.

No, I did.

Serena.

Ezra, I don't believe you've met Reverend Garland before.

I know who you are. It's an honor, sir. God bless you.

And mine, Brother Ezra.

You put on quite a show out there.

Thank you, Reverend.

Son, I can safely say I have never seen anything like what I saw here tonight.

You're truly blessed.

Your mother told me I was in for something special, but this...

Not himself.

Thank you, Reverend.

Please, Samuel.

Brother Samuel.

So, what brings you out in the woods tonight?

To be honest, Ezra, I'm looking for another hour of programming for our

family over at HBN.

And I think I just may have found it.

The Outer Limits.

Please stand by.

Did you see the service?

Did you see that coat?

That little sermon of his in the air?

Oh, it was amazing.

Mesmerizing.

What? I thought you would be thrilled.

Amazing?

Mesmerizing? Are you starting to be a believer?

That sneaky little bastard is trying to take my revival away from me.

Ah, the student is outstripping the teacher.

And his brother's got Sam Garland to give us an hour on HPN.

The Heavenly Broadcasting Network? That's great.

Oh, yeah, that's great. I can't wait to get there.

What? Since when is HBN not great?

They have 150 million viewers in 24 countries.

Something is not right.

You said that before, and you were right.

No. Yes.

No. Yes, you said that. You weren't wrong. You said that. Are you really

to refute what we saw?

That man was injured.

Luke healed him.

No. Yes. When are you going to admit it? No. That Luke truly, truly has a gift.

No, he doesn't. It goes beyond that.

That's not God's grace.

There's something else going on.

You're jealous.

Of what?

Him? No, I'm not jealous.

bother talking to you.

Let him heal that.

And I saw the heavens opened and behold the white horse.

And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true.

And in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Some of you may say that's scary.

But I say that's a beautiful prophecy.

For the good book tells us that the word of God is quick and powerful and as

sharp as a two -edged sword.

And you better stand on the right side of that sword or it'll chop you down.

Are you ready to obey God's word?

I said, are you ready to obey God's word?

Are you ready to join the army of righteousness using God's sword to smite

those that would oppose us.

Thank you, Brother Luke.

Hey, Brother Ezra, I'm not devil. I think you are.

Brothers and sisters, thank you for coming tonight. God bless you and carry

word of God home in your heart.

You want to talk about what happened out there?

You think I overreacted?

You don't?

I don't know.

Obeying the word.

Joining the righteous.

Those are your words.

Smiting those who oppose us aren't my words.

He got that scripture wrong. The word of God.

is sharper than any two -edged sword. Not as sharp as a two -edged sword. He's

not being true to the scriptures.

Okay, he gets a little bit carried away. He's young.

But haven't you ever overstated to make a point?

Not that message.

Look, I wouldn't be splitting hairs on scripture interpretation if I were you.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that ever since Mom died, you've been more about the take than

spreading the word.

I don't have to hear this.

You let your anger consume you.

You twist everything that we were doing. And I got sucked right in there with

you, Dad.

I was ready to forget everything that was important.

But Luke, he changed that.

He has a gift.

And I see in him what you used to have.

And that is just true belief in something.

The fire of conviction.

Because that's what's really eating at you, isn't it? Is that Luke, he has

something to believe in and you don't.

Admit it.

Say it. Stop it!

Sarah?

outer limits.

Please stand by.

Luke?

It's Ezra. I need to talk to you.

have my battle what's in that by the word or didn't you know

you know what i mean that electronic circuitry or whatever it is come

on that's right you know a magician never revealed his tricks i believe you

taught me that or did you think that i was truly

divine touched by the almighty himself

I want you gone before the service starts tonight.

Or what?

Do you really think this is still your show?

Do you really think those people are showing up to see your tired old Jesus

loves you routine?

And what's your routine?

Smite thy enemies with a sword of righteousness.

That's about hatred.

It's about the new message.

It's about empowering people and giving them what they really want.

Someone to blame for their lot in life.

A way out.

No one is going to follow you.

Really?

Really.

I don't want to seem unappreciative. In fact, I'll even let you come along for

the ride as long as you behave yourself.

But don't think you're still in control.

What about this?

What about it?

I don't believe celibacy was ever...

implying something else.

Sheriff O 'Brien, please.

Sheriff O 'Brien, this is Ezra Burnham.

I need to see you right away.

Hey, Sheriff.

Mr. Burnham.

So, you took the scarf back?

I'm positive it had blood on it.

Anything else suspicious in the trailer?

His Bible.

He's got something very strange inside of it.

Well, thank you, Mr. Burnham. I'll get some men out there this afternoon.

No, not this afternoon. You can come with me right now.

Well, no, sir. I'd need to get a warrant first.

He'll be gone by then.

There's no fear of that.

How'd you get here?

There are more things in heaven and earth than I dreamt of in your

Ezra.

I'm going to need you to come with me, sir. Sorry, Sheriff. I can't do it.

Come on.

Serena and I have a big plan.

Much too big to let you screw it up.

You are a product from the devil.

Well, well.

I believe her after all.

Sorry, Ezra, I'm not the devil. Ah, yes, you are.

Just a pilgrim.

The first of many that will follow.

We could never hope to enslave you using force.

Despite the trickery, we're as frail as you are.

But we are looking for a new home with a simple, impressionable race, and I

certainly found one here.

You see, human beings love their freedom.

But throw a little God into it, and they're willing to do almost anything.

It took your religion a thousand years to take over a continent. It'll take

much less.

You're wrong.

The people will find out what you are, and that's a false prophet.

They won't follow you.

I wouldn't be so sure.

People want to be told what to think.

They want something to believe in and someone to blame, and I can give them

of that. No, no, no.

And I can start with you.

Good catch.

I took the liberty of calling them anonymously.

I hope you don't mind.

I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Very good.

Chapter 10, verse 18.

Outer limits.

Please stand by.

After my mother died, but... I just don't believe this.

I just

think that right now I

really just need to be by myself.

Of course, I understand.

Sarah, it's lies.

It's all lies. Yes, sir. Are you hurt? No.

Luke has been doing all this.

What do you mean Luke is behind all this? He shot Sheriff O 'Brien. Look at

body they're pulling out of my trailer. Why? Why? Why would he do something like

this? Because he's not what he seems. He's not what he seems.

He's got this strange power and somehow it comes from that Bible of his.

I know how that sounds, but you must believe me. He must be stopped.

Okay. Okay? I believe you. Okay, good. I believe you, and I want to help you.

Okay, good, good. So you need to come with me, and you need to speak to the

police. No!

No! Dad, I can't help you. No, no, no. Don't you see? That's what he wants.

He wants to make me the killer, the evil one, when it's been him all along.

Dad, you have to come with me and talk to them. No.

Don't do this.

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it.

It was my anger, rage, bitterness.

It was my hatred that brought this here.

I brought the serpent into my congregation.

I brought him into my heart.

And I'm the one that's going to get him out. No, that's not true. No, no, no.

Believe in me, okay?

Have faith.

hands fall his good work goes on so it gives me great pleasure to announce

to be a part of the Heavenly Broadcasting Network.

Welcome, my friends, to the beginning.

The beginning of a new era of destiny for the faithful.

For those that truly believe.

My friends,

evil is everywhere.

Brother Ezra fought it, but he succumbed to his battle.

I am ready to carry on that fight.

Praise Jesus.

Praise Jesus.

Nothing live. It's the hour of power.

Our savior was taken from us before his time.

He was persecuted for what he believed and yet...

worthy of your faith to join him in his fight against the godless ones?

Will you remember his sacrifice, his death for you?

Oh, praise his name.

Praise his name.

can lead us toward the light or plunge us into eternal darkness.
