Big Tent Meeting

Bishop John Hurricane Jackson, traveled the US giving tent meetings, his fame and fortune grew from a gift, he stated he had. The power to cast out demons.

Bring the boy to me! The bishop stated before a packed house.

The tent set up in a open field on Broadway and Manchester, was jam packed. It was bishop Hurricane Jackson's opening night. The twelve year old boy walked up to the altar, holding his mother's hand. The music stopped playing.

The mother began to cry. They have him, he is possessed! The boy suddenly began to shake, as if he was having a seizure. Please help my son.

The devil has no power here! The bishop stated. Grab the boy and bring him here! Two ministers grabbed the boy off the ground and presented him, to the bishop.

I rebuke you right now! The boy began to moan and scream and then a white foam began to flow from his mouth.

I said to loose him right now! I rebuke you come out! The bishop hollered as he placed his hands on the boy's head, as the two ministers held his arms on both sides. The audience watched in terror, as the scene played out. Then the boy went limp and the ministers let him go, as he fell to the ground.

They are gone! Talk to your son sister. The young mother approached her son and began hugging him.

Momma what's going on? The young boy said appearing to be normal again. The tent congregation went wild, with people praising and shouting, amazed at bishop Hurricane Jackson's spiritual power.

Later that evening, inside the bishop's penthouse suite, at the Beverly Hills Wilshire hotel. That kid was great! Were did you find him? Gary Roberts, the bishop's business manager and right hand man asked him.

Caroline ran in to him and his mother at the mall. His mother said he was a great actor so Caroline offered him and her a job. She gladly accepted, But Gary! what about the foam coming out his mouth? It was Alka Seltzer. pure genius!'

They both began laughing at that. Then the door opened. Honey your back! The bishop's thirty year old wife comes into the room.

Do I know how to pick em or what! Did you see the look's on the crowds face when the Alka Seltzer foam ran out his mouth. I deserve a bonus for finding him.

The bishop took out a bottle, of extra special Crown Royal and began to pour Gary and his wife a drink. I am serious John, I want more money from tonight's take!

At first the bishop ignored her and continued pouring the expensive liquor. And then after taking a few sips. No you are going to get your usual two gees. I might up it after we see how a few nights go here.

We always do well, when we come to LA John. You know that. Caroline stated

perturbed at her husband's response.

––––––––

Caroline you're making two thousand dollars a night for just sitting there being the first lady. What a job! Gary you're the financial genius here. Would you tell her how well I am paying her.

Gary poured himself another shot. You know, I don't get involved in marital spats! The bishop took a white money bag from the suite's closet and counted out two thousand dollars to Caroline. The next night at the tent meeting, before the service started, the bishop and his wife road down Wilshire boulevard in a black 500 class Mercedes Benz, chauffeured by one of his deacons. Is everything set? John asked his wife, as they took in the sights of the well lit Beverly Hills stores.

We should have a big night tonight John. I got that girl from Grand Prairie Texas. She always brings us a big haul, I flew her in this afternoon.

Yeah Peggy got skills! The Mercedes made a right on Western, on it's way to South Central. The bishop's scam allowed him to live a life of luxury, off of people that could least afford it. John after we are through here, let's go to France I haven't shopped there in years.

We'll see my love! We'll see!

The tent was already packed to capacity, before the service had even started. People waited patiently to see the power of bishop Hurricane Jackson. The service was filled with singing and shouting. And then it was time for the bishop to take the stage.

And now will everyone please stand, for the anointed bishop Hurricane Jackson.

The crowd rose to their feet and the big red and white tent, was filled with applause.

The bishop walked up to the pulpit, dressed elegantly in a very expensive red and black robe. Once The applause died down.

"You know tonight is healing night. I have had a heavy burden on my heart! So I am going to do the service a little different this time. I feel I am being led by the spirit. The lights dimmed and the organ began to play.

I want every body in the tent to begin to pray!

The crowd broke out in prayer, some of the crowd were weeping, it was as if the whole crowd was in a daze. It has come to me now! There is a young woman here in need of deliverance. I feel it, she had a ailment all of her life. Tonight's your night! Come and be healed! From the back of the tent, the crowd made a path as they rolled the wheel chair bound, twenty two year old woman, to the front of the pulpit. Sister what's your name? Peggy! Peggy Johnson!

Do you believe in your heart! You can be healed right here! Tonight The organ stopped playing and
