“I AM BOUGHT WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, LET ME GO!!!” Yes!!! Revival in the Land had a huge impact on my life as a teenager. He was one of the boldest voices in Christian music during that time. Words cannot express how I feel right now that Carman has gone on to his reward in Heaven. I cannot thank God enough for him.

[@davidn.12]

[@KoolWithAQ]

Fuckin' boomer ass idiots, all of you. D&D is actually really fun. You should try it at your local game store. They probably host an Adventurer's League night once a week. You might be surprised, and even meet some new people.

[@amiegamache7236]

I just listened to Mario Murillo tell this story as it happened to him. Carmen was doing the music the day he shared this story and wrote this song after. Mario said later one of the witch’s wives became a christian and found Mario to share with him that her husband was haunted by that encounter-nothing ever scared him as much as that. Our God is so powerful.

[@alexandraasbury9974]

That's a great and amazing story and I believe it. Did the witch's husband ever become a Christian? Did you learn/hear anymore about it? Thank You. Jesus is so powerful and loving. I'm so thankful that He's my Lord and Savior.

Rest in Peace Carman. As a kid growing up in the 80's and 90's, your music was a huge influence to me. You taught us to be courageous and to never back down from the evil of this world.

@NickLavender I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s too! My Grandma used to put Carmen on for me to watch. She watched TBN all of the time and would put Carmen on since she knew I would rather watch him than a bunch of older people who we’re most definitely not as cool as Carmen was! 😂😂 I didn’t know he had passed until I read the comments section. I pray he didn’t suffer too awfully hard. Cancer is evil. America Again is one of my favorites! I can’t remember the other ones…it feels like it’s been an eternity!

Now He is my Saviour, now my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Satan doesn't want you to know Jesus. Jesus cleaned my blackened heart,and changed my heart of stone into warm flesh. Remember,my precious Brothers and Sisters on Christ,satan is a defeated foe. Jesus brought him to his knees! No weapon of satan can prosper against us,and that makes him mad!

What I liked about Carman is that he is very theatrical and at the same time teaches. Very few do this. Talks, sing, and puts up a theater play; when you hear these worship songs, I can see it in my mind like reading a play. All for the Glory of Jesus. Great storyteller

That was the only problem I had with this video: There is nothing Satanic about black cats. 🐈‍⬛ To the contrary, many are friendly and outgoing, good with kids, etc. I know Carman, his musicians and production team meant well in this. But too many black cats have lost their lives to sacrificial occult rituals, to the point where shelters and rescue groups have had to place moratoriums on adopting them out around the time of Halloween every year. 😭 Homeless animals have so many challenges already-they don't need this one adding to their mistaken negative public impression.

[@candyluna2929]

One peaceful afternoon I picked up from my mailbox The strangest looking letter I'd ever seen A chilling little envelope Bordered with flying bats and eerie serpents Whose eyes were tinted green That letter was addressed to me So as I opened it, I froze What I read turned my complexion three shades of blue It said, "my name is Isaac Horowitz I'm a male witch, a warlock And I feel I need to spend some time with you." Now, as a Christian from a little church With God's call on my life, A man of faith and power, with a challenge to grow I did what any saint would do In my situation I tore it up said, "Lord, no way I'm gonna go." Then gently and methodically the Holy Spirit spoke And reminded me, we're God's voice to our nation It's the church's responsibility to witness So reluctantly I accepted this... Witch's invitation He had the house you'd expect The old english cottage A nightmare on Elm street special right to the core The overgrown ivy, The gate that creaked when opened Somehow you'd expect Freddy to answer this door The doorbell rang the hollow gong, The knob twisted, then opened Then Isaac stood before me with a grin His jet black hair and well-trimmed beard Flowed with his black silk clothes My skin crawled as he said, "Please.come on in" His house was filled With every occultic symbol you could fathom Hanging pentagrams and horoscope signs, A Ouija board and dungeons and dragons game Set on the table A crystal ball with an incandescent shine Then graciously he handed me some steaming herbal tea It's prescence caused my memory to jog I thought of every horror flick I'd seen When I was a kid and thought: "You drink this stuff, next day you'll be a frog" Then he led me to a high-backed chair As he meticulously began to unfold his scenario With evil patience I was given a giant leather-bound book Jammed with newspaper clippings Thus the reason for this... Witch's invitation With eagerness he pointed to each article with pride He said, "I healed this woman through a Babylonian chant See this man? I cured him While performing druid worship I was paid to curse this man with AIDS, by his aunt" On and on, page after page, Delightfully he flaunted each incident for an hour Without a breath He said, "do you realize through my understanding of the dark regions that I can make you rich? Or even curse someone to death?" I sat literally intimidated by the immensity in demon power, while his face shown with a Satanic arrogant bliss. Then placing his hands on the arms of my chair He said, "what can your God do to compare with this?" I knew then how Moses felt, How when his rod turned to a serpent And the three magicians' did the same. It's as if you're sitting there In that stunned moment while your faith gets violated And all you feel is weak, powerless and lame I desperately and deeply prayed Saying, "Jesus give me wisdom I don't wanna put you through some foolish test." Then a shaft of light shot through my soul Lighting my eyes with fire God stood me up, and I threw the book back in his chest I said, "Isaac, I'll not compare God's miracles versus Satan's The issue's not God's kingdom in Satan's lair, The real comparison is the condition of your soul And the condition of mine, and you puppet of the devil that I will compare. My friend, one day they're coming for you The soft associates in your incantations The friendly demons you think you now control The time will come when you'll be lying in bed Wheezing like a dying animal, and those spirits lay claim To the rights they own to your soul. Then the room will grow dark, And the most hideous faces you ever saw Will come flaming out of the floor with a yell The vile informants that promised reincarnation Will claw your spirit and victoriously Drag your soul to Hell." Then I grabbed the book and said, "In that moment, Which mantra, which incantation you gonna chant To tell them to leave you alone? My friend, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what I would say... I am bought with the blood of Jesus, let me go!" I said, "Isaac, when you tossed that book in my lap, You glowed with a sinister victory You rejoiced when you saw your name in black & white Now I rejoice, But not that your cousel of demons Are subject to Jesus, But that my name is written

O Death, where is your Sting?! Jesus of Nazareth is LORD! See you in Heaven, Carman!

[@alannapatton9957]

Cant believe he passed. Used to watch his videos when i was little

[@arthurweems2839]

Thank you Carmen My Father gave his life to Christ in the summer of 1989. Once he have his life, he stopped listening to secular music and listened to a local Christian station and Carmen's Witches Invitation, Lazerus Come Forth was in high rotation then . I came to Christ in 2003, now I feel the same way he felt 14 years earlier. I see two lives. Before Christ and After Christ.

Check out Mario Murillo's explanation of this video, this is a true story.

[@levkamenev3904]

So he claims...

[@gma6296]

It wss very good!

[@kevinhowdeshell9772]

That’s what brought me here. What a cool story.

[@coz7891]

@@levkamenev3904 Actually, Carman wrote in the album credits (Album: Revival in the Land" ) that it was Mario Murillo's story. Mario & Carman were really good friends.

[@willyray3659]

Carmen, we love and appreciate you. Use your music in children's ministry all the time. We are praying for you.

[@kikidee5025]

I really like whoever portrayed the witch's acting.

[@scottfisher2278]

GOD blessed you, Carman! You greatly impacted my life as a teen in the 80s. A man of GOD with a strong faith in CHRIST who walked away from Las Vegas when he was saved, and who GOD used mightily for the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST! I know you're in the Heavenly Band singing sweet praises unto the KING of KINGS!

Dance, sing, and worship! Rejoicing with you! Thank you for everything you did while you were here!🙏💗🌼🙌🎵🎶🎤😁🌈🛐✝️⬆️
