At the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1973, Tick Watson defines enthusiasm as being completely filled with God. He traces it through a broken leg in Gold Beach, Oregon that turned his hospital room into a room of prayer, a foundry crucible that will not crack where another crumbles, and Vince Lombardi turning the Green Bay Packers around. Miss Nobody, he says, is a great big somebody.
At the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1973, Tommy Tyson reads John 6 on the bread of life and insists that Jesus gives himself rather than a method. The line he keeps is from an immersion baptism, “you hold on, I’ll do the rest.” He sets it against a man buried propped up in a red convertible while the mourners agreed that this was really living.
Tommy Tyson works Philippians 2 toward accepting divine sonship, and at the 1973 New Hampshire Winni CFO he does not tidy up the story he tells against himself: his brother died of leukemia after strong assurances of healing, and at the graveside he tried to call him back. On the other side of it sits a paralyzed man healed during a camp’s devotion in motion.

Union with Jesus costs whatever has become a false security, Tommy Tyson tells the 1973 New Hampshire Winni CFO, whether that is reputation, a spiritual experience, or money. A young broker realized his own insurance plan had become an idol, and a South Carolina merchant made him admit he was living on borrowed money and let his friends fund him instead.

Tick Watson gathers people who paid something real to say yes: a German doctor imprisoned for secretly saving a boy’s arm after the war, a man trading a bowl of soup for a cube of bread in a camp, and a man in a wheelchair at the Home for the Incurable who finally made peace with a custodian after five years. The refrain he leaves at the 1973 New Hampshire Winni CFO is yes Lord, I should, I can, I will.

Speaking to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1973, Tommy Tyson describes identification with Jesus as a decision of the will, made one area at a time rather than a performance sustained all at once. His illustrations run from a neighbor who greeted his rose bushes each morning, to Tommy Lewis singing of redemption with a band at a pavement cafe in Rome.

Gratitude is the quality Tick Watson dwells on longest. He illustrates it with a paralyzed veteran named George who greeted everyone with “Hi God, I like your smile,” a gas station attendant who handed over pears for nothing, and a bedridden woman blessing passers-by through a mirror hung on a string. One army officer, he says, came back to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1973 for the week, because of a piece of gum found under a dining hall table.

Faith, hope and love are the three ingredients of any life that succeeds, Tick Watson tells the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1973, and he unpacks hope as holding on, praying and expecting. He tells of a Dutch immigrant boy who grew up to pitch for the Minnesota Twins, of words carved in a German cellar by Jews in hiding, “I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining,” and of an orphan girl’s hidden note that read “I love you.”

People are not changed by pressure but by being loved as they already are. Tommy Tyson opens with Rufus Mosley, told in the middle of a declared fast to feast on Jesus instead, and closes on the prodigal’s robe and ring, already made and waiting before the boy started home.

Tick Watson tells the 1973 New Hampshire Winni CFO his whole life: a near-fatal infancy, a father who refused to let him sit down for the rest of it, and twenty-three years of full-time work in the movement. A minister who noticed him turning hymnal pages with a wet thumb taught him to type with that thumb.

Prayer, Tommy Tyson says, is beholding Jesus until his own desire is written into your heart. He begins with a gift he had meant to keep small until he prayed about it, and a stray dog patiently loved back into life at home carries the same point through. The talk was given at the 1973 New Hampshire Winni CFO.
