In 1976 he said he did not believe in God, yetllere he was singing in the choir, going to church 'regularly. Also. every night his groups would hold hands. pray. and ask God to bless their singing. He was a confused man. In church he kept hearing Jesus is coming. which made him decide he did not want to go to hell. If there was a heaven, he wanted to go there. Every night he prayed the Lord's Prayer. Mr. Elijah then sang The Lord's Prayer. Elijah said Christiartis need to spend time every day with God. before he sang 1 Miss My Time with You, of God speaking to His people. While listen- ing to a record over and over of An- dre Crouch singing Jesus is Lord. he listened to a Christian program. An- dre Crouch came on singing Jesus is Lord.
