Caption transcript for Close Encounters with Yeshua: “Interview with Gary Bayer” (10/10)
- 00:01 David Hart, welcome to Zola Levitt Presents.
 - 00:04 And I'm Kirsten Hart.
 - 00:05 I've got to be honest, I'm a little sad.
 - 00:08 This is the last program in our new series "Close Encounters with Yeshua".
 - 00:12 But today is the most powerful encounter I have ever heard.
 - 00:18 That's right.
 - 00:19 You cannot miss today's program.
 - 00:21 Please stay with us.
 - 00:31 It was not long ago our first encounter
 - 00:33 on the waters of the Galilee.
 - 00:35 My hand is completely restored.
 - 00:38 He said, Your faith has saved you.
 - 00:41 I've heard Yeshua speak in our synagogue.
 - 00:44 He talked about the Kingdom of God.
 - 00:47 Then He showed us His wounds in His hands and His feet.
 - 00:50 I believe He really is a King.
 - 01:04 Shalom Havarim, welcome friends to our program.
 - 01:06 I'm Myles Weiss.
 - 01:07 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
 - 01:09 And we have a very special program today.
 - 01:11 It is "Close Encounters with Yeshua"
 - 01:13 and we're talking about modern day miracles.
 - 01:16 The Bible talks about being the same yesterday today and forever.
 - 01:21 Just as he was able to remove our sins he's able to give us his healing.
 - 01:26 Yeah, it's a controversial issue today about healing.
 - 01:29 But we're looking towards the "Healer" primarily.
 - 01:32 And this is a special, dear to our hearts, program
 - 01:35 because of our dear friends Gary and Cindy Bayer in Israel.
 - 01:38 These are lovers of Israel.
 - 01:39 They reside there.
 - 01:41 They have been there for many years.
 - 01:42 And they actually bring people to Israel
 - 01:45 to help them connect their creativity to the Land.
 - 01:48 They have a "Writer's Gathering Jerusalem"
 - 01:50 program where they actually bring in and
 - 01:53 help writers and creative types
 - 01:55 to interact with Israel so that
 - 01:57 it influences the creative work that they're doing
 - 01:59 whether it's novels or poetry or movie making, script writing.
 - 02:03 And it's just an incredible creative atmosphere that's around them.
 - 02:06 Well part of that story includes the fact that Gary got ill.
 - 02:12 And what happened to him in this time
 - 02:15 was so miraculous to see the growth of faith in
 - 02:18 him and Cindy and the community around them,
 - 02:21 how it touched our lives.
 - 02:22 We know he's a dear friend of our producer Ken Berg.
 - 02:25 Ken prays for him every day.
 - 02:26 And we were able to stand with them during this really difficult time.
 - 02:29 Right
 - 02:30 It was really momentous to be with him.
 - 02:32 Right, you know one of my favorite Scriptures
 - 02:34 is Psalm 103,
 - 02:43 So we're to press in for what God has for us.
 - 02:47 Sadly to say, not always have I seen my
 - 02:50 friends touched or healed like I'd like
 - 02:52 but we still are called to ask, seek and knock.
 - 02:55 And it's God's sovereignty that will open or close that door.
 - 03:00 And I'm so grateful that he has opened that door of healing for Gary.
 - 03:03 There's been a sustaining that goes beyond natural remission.
 - 03:06 There's something supernatural that took place,
 - 03:09 that is taking place in Gary's life.
 - 03:11 And we know that eventually we all die
 - 03:13 whether we go by rapture, we go by natural death,
 - 03:16 we go from disease or accident.
 - 03:17 We all have a short time here on this earth.
 - 03:20 But it's something to see an interaction
 - 03:22 between someone who you love and the God that they love.
 - 03:25 And boy, did we see that with
 - 03:26 Gary and Cindy the way pressed in, in prayer.
 - 03:29 They pressed in to receive healing for this illness.
 - 03:34 And it was very convicting on a certain level
 - 03:37 because we hadn't seen such faith like that
 - 03:39 since we traveled in the nations,
 - 03:40 since we were in Africa and India and Russia and around the world.
 - 03:43 And it was just a wonderful time to be with them and
 - 03:46 to hear their story.
 - 03:48 So we wanted to bring part of that story to you today because
 - 03:50 we want you to be encouraged in your faith.
 - 03:52 We want you to be encouraged in the things that you're reaching for.
 - 03:55 So let's go to the beginning of my interview with Gary Bayer.
 - 04:02 Gary, thank you for being with us today.
 - 04:04 I would love you to tell our viewers
 - 04:05 a little bit about the journey you've been on.
 - 04:07 I know it's been a difficult season.
 - 04:08 Many people have been praying for you,
 - 04:10 including Katharine and myself.
 - 04:12 Give us a little idea of the diagnosis and
 - 04:14 the season that you've been in.
 - 04:16 First, thanks for praying for me.
 - 04:19 We underestimate the value of the prayers of the saints.
 - 04:23 They really lift you.
 - 04:25 Especially in dark times you feel that.
 - 04:28 Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
 - 04:32 And by the time that they found it, it created a tumor outside the prostate
 - 04:37 and so for 3 months they said, "You were not a candidate for surgery."
 - 04:43 "You were too far along."
 - 04:44 So for 3 months they radiated me.
 - 04:47 They fried me up all through the middle.
 - 04:50 And actually, at the end of those 3 months things looked pretty good
 - 04:54 although some of the lymph nodes had been fried out.
 - 04:57 But within a couple of months it re-flared.
 - 04:59 And it had re-flared into my lymphatic system and started going everywhere.
 - 05:02 They found it up here.
 - 05:04 And thus began a season of chemo-therapy ,
 - 05:08 of serious chemo-therapy which quite frankly I didn't want to do.
 - 05:13 I even told my wife, I said, "I just can't. It's like poison going in me."
 - 05:20 And so we really were praying about it.
 - 05:22 And I told my doctor, I said, "You know we believe in a God of miracles."
 - 05:26 My doctor is a wonderful Aussie, Jewish, Israeli, Secular doctor.
 - 05:33 And he was watching our journey.
 - 05:35 And I said, "You know, we believe in a God of miracles."
 - 05:38 "We'll get back to you about this."
 - 05:40 By day 3 I really felt the LORD say, "I want you to take this step."
 - 05:45 Which sort of surprised me cause I said,
 - 05:46 "But you know this like dumping poison in me?"
 - 05:49 And He said, "Will you let me choose how I want to heal you?"
 - 05:54 WOW
 - 05:54 And I thought "Well I liked that."
 - 05:56 "At least I heard 'heal' in that sentence."
 - 05:59 But I'm a visual guy and I told the LORD,
 - 06:01 I said, "I need some visual image."
 - 06:03 And He said, "I'll give you an image."
 - 06:05 He said, "When you go into."
 - 06:07 what we affectionately called the "chemo lounge"
 - 06:09 because there are lots of lazy boy chairs.
 - 06:11 About 40 people in there getting their drips.
 - 06:14 And He said, "When they hook you up to that drip line,"
 - 06:16 "that's My Blood coming through that line to you."
 - 06:20 WOW.
 - 06:21 And that just so flipped our way
 - 06:22 of looking at it upside down.
 - 06:25 And it actually made the chemo day the best day of the week.
 - 06:30 I mean when people said, "Well how's it going?"
 - 06:32 I said, "Well it's actually the joy day.
 - 06:33 I know that sounds really strange
 - 06:35 but we watched God just do amazing things during that time.
 - 06:39 So what you first thought of as poison
 - 06:41 became an avenue for life,
 - 06:42 a resurrection life.
 - 06:44 It really did, it really did.
 - 06:47 And then there's this story you've told me
 - 06:50 about a visitation.
 - 06:52 Yeah.
 - 06:53 And I approach this with sacred caution.
 - 06:55 But I would like you to tell our viewers
 - 06:57 what happened to you in the CT scan.
 - 07:00 Well.ummm there came a time,
 - 07:05 a point in this journey about now 4 months ago
 - 07:09 And the cancer had metastasized.
 - 07:13 It had jumped to my liver.
 - 07:16 And I was in a lot of pain.
 - 07:18 I started breathing with difficulty and a little disoriented.
 - 07:23 My wife got me into the emergency room here
 - 07:26 in Jerusalem at Shaare Zedek Hospital .
 - 07:28 My wonderful doctor met me there.
 - 07:31 And within a very short time they took pictures
 - 07:35 and the next morning he came to my bedside
 - 07:39 and he grabbed a hold of my hand and my wife's hand.
 - 07:41 And he leaned in close and he said,
 - 07:44 "You better gather your children."
 - 07:48 And that kinda rocks you.
 - 07:51 And he said, "The CG scan shows that 3/4ths of your liver,"
 - 07:57 "75% is just riddled with cancer."
 - 08:00 "One of the tumors is about the size of a golf ball."
 - 08:03 "It's now shut your right kidney down."
 - 08:06 "And your whole middle is full of black spots, full of cancer spots."
 - 08:11 And he said, "We're gonna sort of do major chemo on you."
 - 08:16 "Just full blast."
 - 08:18 "And we'll do it for 3 days in a row,"
 - 08:19 "then take 3 weeks off; another 3 days in a row,"
 - 08:22 "another 3 weeks off, another 3 days in a row."
 - 08:24 So he was blasting me as hard as he could.
 - 08:27 And he was giving me his very best.
 - 08:30 It was a surprise when he grabbed my hand and my wife's hand
 - 08:35 and he leaned in real close and he said,
 - 08:37 "Would you pray for us?"
 - 08:39 And I'm thinking, "What a privilege to pray for my doctor!"
 - 08:44 But the battle began
 - 08:45 and it was a rough,
 - 08:47 really a rough 3 months,
 - 08:48 up and down and up and down.
 - 08:50 And at the end of those 3 months
 - 08:52 he said, "We'll give you 2 weeks of rest"
 - 08:54 "and then we're going to do pictures again."
 - 08:56 "Another CT-PET Scan this time."
 - 08:58 Which is like a deep tissue scan
 - 09:00 that they can see very clearly within you.
 - 09:02 And so the day arrived for the scan.
 - 09:05 And it was hitting 100 degrees in Jerusalem.
 - 09:08 And I had a windbreaker on and we were sitting
 - 09:11 in the waiting room getting ready to have the scan.
 - 09:15 And I was so cold that my wife was like
 - 09:19 wrapping herself around me to keep me warm.
 - 09:22 And a little Russian Tech guy came out and he said,
 - 09:25 "You know we're gonna put you in the isolation room"
 - 09:29 "and you drink a little liquid and then we take pictures."
 - 09:34 I said, "Okay."
 - 09:35 And my wife said, "You know he's really cold. Can he have a blanket?"
 - 09:38 The guy gets me a blanket, wraps me up
 - 09:40 and in a little bit he says, "Okay go into the room."
 - 09:42 And I kind of moved along like a little Indian tent moving into the room.
 - 09:49 I sat in there.
 - 09:50 They bring me this big jug of liquid.
 - 09:52 It's a clear liquid.
 - 09:53 And he says, "You drink every 10 minutes full glass."
 - 09:57 So I'm sitting there and thankfully I had my phone and my wife had her phone.
 - 10:02 And she's just been a wonderful champion to me in this journey,
 - 10:05 along with the prayers of the saints.
 - 10:07 And she started texting me saying,
 - 10:09 "Remember all the words that the LORD"
 - 10:10 "has given you that He's your Healer."
 - 10:12 And she happened to be sitting in front of a picture.
 - 10:16 The 23rd Psalm had become very special to us.
 - 10:20 You know, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"
 - 10:23 "I will be with you."
 - 10:25 And so she texted me all of a sudden a picture.
 - 10:29 and it was right in front of her.
 - 10:31 It was the 23rd of August that we were having this done.
 - 10:38 And she said, "Look at this picture."
 - 10:40 And it was right in front.
 - 10:41 It was like a picture of the 23rd Psalm.
 - 10:43 She said it was beautiful.
 - 10:44 You know, green valleys, streams.
 - 10:46 She said, "Remember. remember what the Lord has told you."
 - 10:51 We're beginning to build the story here with Gary.
 - 10:54 And his connection with his wife in this is so precious and profound.
 - 10:58 I think about as you're watching this, try to
 - 11:01 remember that these are very grounded people.
 - 11:04 These are very practical, earthy, down to the point kind of people.
 - 11:07 They're not wild or speculative about
 - 11:11 Christianity, about their faith at all.
 - 11:13 And so it becomes more profound as you see this connection,
 - 11:16 this spiritual connection between them.
 - 11:19 I love Gary's fight for his life.
 - 11:23 And you hear God's heart reaching out to his wife Cindy
 - 11:27 and her texting to remind him about Psalm 23.
 - 11:32 Though we walk through the valley
 - 11:33 of the shadow of death
 - 11:35 we will fear no evil
 - 11:36 because the Lord is with us.
 - 11:38 No matter what we're facing he wants to be
 - 11:40 with us, he wants to bring that provision.
 - 11:42 It says that "healing is the children's bread."
 - 11:46 So he wants to sustain us,
 - 11:48 he wants to give us hope and faith
 - 11:51 to see that which we can't see in the natural realm.
 - 11:54 That's good.
 - 11:55 And so we want this show to be an encouragement
 - 11:57 for all of us to reach for more of God.
 - 11:59 And you're going to see as we go on
 - 12:01 how what comes in to view for Gary
 - 12:03 is not only the healing he's reaching for but The Healer.
 - 12:07 So, we'll be back after this with more interview with Gary Bayer.
 - 12:13 Our resource this week...
 - 12:15 The Series "Close Encounters with Yeshua" on DVD

 - 12:48 Shalom friends!
 - 12:49 Myles and I are so grateful to be able
 - 12:51 to bring you timely messages that are
 - 12:53 informative about what is happening in Israel.
 - 12:56 Not only what's happening in the nation
 - 12:58 but what's happening with the people of God,
 - 13:00 the people of "The Book".
 - 13:02 You know, now more ever
 - 13:04 we need to invest in things that matter.
 - 13:06 We need to invest in things that will last for eternity.
 - 13:09 And we believe that messages like this
 - 13:12 will go before us as we sow into Him.
 - 13:14 So please stand with us
 - 13:16 as we continue this journey of faith.
 - 13:18 Thank you
 - 13:21 If you're thinking about visiting the Holy Land
 - 13:23 come on a Zola Tour!
 - 13:25 Where the Scriptures come to life as you
 - 13:27 get teaching from a Messianic perspective.
 - 13:30 Our Spring Tour goes to Israel and Petra.
 - 13:33 In the Fall you can add a cruise of Greece and Ephesus.
 - 13:37 Come to Israel!
 - 13:39 See the Jewish roots of your faith.
 - 13:52 You know, Gary and Cindy have chosen to live in Israel
 - 13:56 and they have wedded themselves to the Land and to the people.
 - 13:59 They love my Jewish people.
 - 14:01 I'm so grateful to them for that.
 - 14:02 And Arab people.
 - 14:03 And the Arab people as well.
 - 14:05 And they are just lovers of people.
 - 14:07 And what we're seeing in this story
 - 14:09 is not just the reach for the healing
 - 14:12 but the encounter that's growing where
 - 14:14 Gary's faith for his own healing is part of it,
 - 14:18 but his awareness of the presence of God is going to grow and grow.
 - 14:24 So let's continue with our interview with Gary Bayer.
 - 14:30 And so I started trying
 - 14:31 to encourage myself,
 - 14:32 encourage my spirit.
 - 14:33 And then some Canadian friends that had been
 - 14:35 praying for us since I first got the diagnosis,
 - 14:37 found out that I was in isolation.
 - 14:39 They were in Jerusalem,
 - 14:40 they're texting me:
 - 14:42 "Remember Jehoshaphat, and the mighty armies coming against them."
 - 14:45 "And Jehoshaphat was told by the Lord,"
 - 14:47 "This is not your battle, it's Mine."
 - 14:49 "You just stand."
 - 14:51 I was so weak I thought,
 - 14:52 "Well I don't know if I can stand up"
 - 14:53 "but I can sit!"
 - 14:55 And so I was sitting there and then they texted and said,
 - 14:58 "I just see the Host of Heaven around you."
 - 15:00 So I'm looking around and then I hear over the intercom
 - 15:03 the little Russian Tech guy, "You drink the juice."
 - 15:05 I say, "I'm drinking the juice."
 - 15:09 And then they texted me again, they said,
 - 15:12 "I just see the Lord standing right to your right."
 - 15:14 I look up and nothing but a gray wall, a gray ceiling and.
 - 15:19 But I started thinking, "You know, You said You'd never leave me,"
 - 15:22 "You'll never forsake me, so I know You're here."
 - 15:25 And I said, "Do you have a Word for me?"
 - 15:27 And I felt hearing the Lord say,
 - 15:29 "Yes, you hold on to Me, don't hold on to medicine."
 - 15:33 And when I heard that, the way I interpreted that in my mind
 - 15:36 because this was a moment of truth.
 - 15:39 These pictures were medically speaking,
 - 15:41 these pictures were gonna show me whether I'm better or I'm not.
 - 15:46 And when the Lord said, "You hold on to Me and not medicine."
 - 15:48 The way I interpreted it was,
 - 15:50 "Be prepared, what you're going to see is not good"
 - 15:54 "but you hold on to Me."
 - 15:55 And so then that little Tech guy says,
 - 15:58 "You go to the toilet."
 - 15:59 So I get up and go to the toilet.
 - 16:01 I come back, I drink some more.
 - 16:03 And then he says, "Go to the door."
 - 16:05 So I make my way to the door in my little blanket,
 - 16:08 the door opens and there's this big room
 - 16:12 where they have the scanner in there.
 - 16:13 And it's cold.
 - 16:15 I mean you could cure meat in there.
 - 16:18 And the tech guy says, "Take your clothes off."
 - 16:22 I thought, "Geez, I'm freezing already."
 - 16:25 So I stripped down.
 - 16:26 He puts me on this little bed-like,
 - 16:29 and the scanner's a big round.
 - 16:31 It looks like a doughnut, big round thing with a hole,
 - 16:34 and the bed moves in and out of the doughnut.
 - 16:37 And he said, "Don't move. Put your arms up here"
 - 16:41 "and I'll put stuff on your arm and make you warm."
 - 16:43 And I thought,"Well, that'll be good I could use a little warmth."
 - 16:47 And then he says, "You'll be in here 18 minutes."
 - 16:50 I said, "Okay."
 - 16:52 And he starts to leave the room and he says,
 - 16:53 "Would you like the blanket?"
 - 16:55 I said, "That'd be a real good idea."
 - 16:57 So he puts the blanket over me and he says,
 - 16:59 "Good Luck!" and he leaves the room.
 - 17:02 Door closes and the big doughnut starts to spin around.
 - 17:07 It starts spinning and I feel the bed start to move
 - 17:10 and I'm thinking, "Okay Lord, I'm in Your hands."
 - 17:16 "My times are in Your hands."
 - 17:19 And You said, "Hold on to Me."
 - 17:21 So into the doughnut I went
 - 17:23 and out of the doughnut I came,
 - 17:27 went back into the hole again and suddenly.
 - 17:30 [Gary holds back tears]
 - 17:34 To my right I see an Angel.
 - 17:39 I've never seen an Angel before.
 - 17:42 And I'm thinking.
 - 17:44 I'm looking and I'm thinking.
 - 17:47 You know, I've been on drugs for 2 years and
 - 17:49 maybe I'm just hallucinating, you know?
 - 17:52 But it doesn't go away.
 - 17:54 And it's like this brilliant, brilliant white.
 - 17:58 And I couldn't see the face very clearly
 - 18:01 but just glowing white.
 - 18:03 And then I sensed all of a sudden another Angel on my left.
 - 18:11 I couldn't really see this one.
 - 18:13 This one I could clearly see.
 - 18:16 And I don't know if you've been a Boy Scout or something like that
 - 18:19 and you learn what they call "a fireman's carry"
 - 18:21 where they lock their arms underneath the victim
 - 18:23 and they pick the victim up.
 - 18:25 I felt they slid their arms under me and just kinda picked me up.
 - 18:32 And then this one leaned over me
 - 18:34 and he started blowing over my middle like
 - 18:37 [Gary demonstrates].
 - 18:39 And it's like you could see their breath almost, just moving over me.
 - 18:44 And then, in their breath I started to see what looked like flakes,
 - 18:50 was like snowflakes only they were gold.
 - 18:53 These flakes were just like pure gold flakes
 - 18:57 just starting to fly around over me.
 - 18:59 And then they lifted me and they moved me forward
 - 19:04 like I'm now looking at me as they're holding me.
 - 19:09 And I could see these flakes just flurrying around me and
 - 19:12 over me and through me
 - 19:14 and then I remembered that picture.
 - 19:16 Because I kept thinking,
 - 19:17 "What are these golden flakes for?"
 - 19:18 And at the same time I keep blinking
 - 19:20 thinking, "Am I just wanting to see this?
 - 19:22 Is it going to go away?
 - 19:24 But it doesn't go away.
 - 19:27 And I remembered the picture from before, like 9 weeks before
 - 19:33 where I saw all of these like black spots in me.
 - 19:36 And I thought, "Maybe these gold flakes are like hitting these spots"
 - 19:40 "and like, you know, taking them out."
 - 19:42 And so I tried to super-impose that picture over what I was seeing.
 - 19:47 And I could see those gold flakes flying in,
 - 19:49 around and through me by these black spots.
 - 19:52 And then suddenly I looked up
 - 19:56 and there..in vivid color. vivid color.
 - 20:04 is the Lord.
 - 20:06 And He's like a.
 - 20:09 like there's a white mist around Him
 - 20:11 and He's sitting but He's leaning towards me
 - 20:15 and He exudes power and strength.
 - 20:19 His hair is like dark
 - 20:20 and His face is strong and like sunburn all almost.
 - 20:24 And He's got a blue like robe on,
 - 20:27 deep blue, trimmed in crimson.
 - 20:29 And everything exudes strength and power.
 - 20:33 And He leans toward me and He stretches out His arm.
 - 20:36 And His arm is dark and strong.
 - 20:39 His hand is strong.
 - 20:41 His hand is like so strong
 - 20:44 and just reaching straight toward my middle.
 - 20:47 And I looked down to where He is pointing
 - 20:50 and I couldn't see anything
 - 20:51 accept like gold and light.
 - 20:54 All I could see was gold and light.
 - 20:57 And then, I looked up at the Lord...
 - 21:00 and He's gone.
 - 21:02 Just everything's gone.
 - 21:05 No Angels, no Lord.
 - 21:08 And the doughnut just starts slowing down
 - 21:12 and I hear the little Russian tech guy go,
 - 21:14 "It's finished, you finished."
 - 21:18 And he pulls me out of the hole of this scanner and he says, "Get dressed."
 - 21:27 I got dressed.
 - 21:30 He unhooked me, I went out and I sat with my wife
 - 21:34 and I said, "I think I've seen a vision."
 - 21:39 "I think I've seen the Lord."
 - 21:44 But it was so far out of my box, you know?
 - 21:48 I've never seen anything like that.
 - 21:52 So, uhh.
 - 21:54 [Gary stops to cry]
 - 22:01 Uhh, we went up to the doctor's office
 - 22:04 and I couldn't share this with the doctor.
 - 22:08 But I kept thinking.
 - 22:09 And it seemed like it took the doctor forever to read my pictures
 - 22:12 cause it goes up into the computer and he's looking.
 - 22:15 And the little secretary said,
 - 22:16 "He's studying your pictures."
 - 22:18 And then I started remembering what the Lord said about,
 - 22:22 "You hang on to me."
 - 22:24 "Don't hang on to medicine."
 - 22:28 And eventually the doctor came out
 - 22:30 and he said, "Come in to my office."
 - 22:33 We sit down.
 - 22:34 He just got back from vacation.
 - 22:35 He's sort a chatting and I'm thinking,
 - 22:37 "Just tell me...Tell me what you see."
 - 22:39 Cause I was preparing myself thinking you know,
 - 22:41 "What am I going to tell my kids?
 - 22:43 How am I gonna.?
 - 22:45 And suddenly he leaned forward and he said,
 - 22:47 "You know, I've been studying your pictures."
 - 22:49 He said, "You know where you were 3 months ago?"
 - 22:51 You were on the edge!"
 - 22:53 I said, "Yeah, I know."
 - 22:55 And he said, "75% of your liver was not working."
 - 22:59 And he said, "Today..."
 - 23:01 75% of your liver is working!"
 - 23:06 "This is a dramatic improvement!"
 - 23:09 He just kept saying "dramatic improvement".
 - 23:14 And then he showed me on the screen, he says,
 - 23:17 "You know the lump you had here?"
 - 23:20 "It's shrunk by half."
 - 23:22 "All of the cancer in your middle behind your belly has shrunk dramatically!"
 - 23:27 [Gary pauses]
 - 23:31 That's the encounter.
 - 23:33 And here you are.
 - 23:34 I don't think I've ever meant
 - 23:36 it more deeply to say,
 - 23:37 thank you for being with us.
 - 23:39 It is very welcome.
 - 23:41 Thanks for letting me share my story.
 - 23:44 Thank you for letting me share a glimpse.
 - 23:50 He's real.
 - 23:52 He is sooooo real.
 - 23:57 Thanks Myles, thank you.
 - 23:59 Thank you.
 - 24:03 Honestly, that was the most amazing
 - 24:06 encounter with Yeshua I have ever heard in my life.
 - 24:11 What Gary shared changed our lives.
 - 24:14 And our view of what's to come.
 - 24:18 The interview with Gary was filmed this past November.
 - 24:23 I don't even know how to say this
 - 24:25 Just a few weeks ago January 6, 2017,
 - 24:29 Gary passed into Heaven.
 - 24:32 He walked into the arms of that strong Yeshua.
 - 24:36 I'm so thankful for songs that
 - 24:38 help all of us deal with things like we just saw.
 - 24:44 This song is a musical tribute to Gary's family
 - 24:47 that I have the privilege of singing, right now for you.
