Keith was asked, “How did you know that Jesus was God?” Keith responded by saying , “He changed me.” That’s it folks. Jesus ,the one who doesn’t change , changes you and conforms you to His will. Great answer and great truth.
I am a Christian today because of this brother giving me my first Christain album in 1979 - So, you wanna go back to Egypt....and when he died in that terrible plane crash, which was soon after this interview, I got Radically Saved and filled with the Holy Spirit in September of 1983....He is one of the ones I will look for when I get to heaven for sure...GOD BLESS YOU KEITH GREEN...I am serving the Lord in Guatemala as a Missionary handing out tracts, Bibles, food, clothes and best of all the Love of JESUS CHRIST through the preaching and sharing of the Good News....See ya soon brother!
So You Want to Go Back to Egypt was released in ‘80, not ‘79 and your “spirit filling” happened 14 months after the crash, so the connection seems doubtful.
Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ? Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart. Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out!! Eph. 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5

Beautiful memories. I have a wonderful memory of the Easter Song when I first heard it on Easter Sunday in 1978. I was attending a Catholic service at my university...I hadn't gone to church since I was a child. That was the beginning of my seeking Him and surrendering Him finally in 1980. When I googled this song recently, it was only the second time I had heard it. And yes, I remembered every word. What a wonderful memory of your Mama!
It's impossible to watch or listen to Keith Green without being impacted. So transparent, raw, and passionate. No strings attached......Very refreshing. Breeds hope and faith.
Used to listen to his music waaay back in the day (late 70s, early 80s). Sooo compelling. Was in church in 2010, worship leader starts sing "Oh Lord, you're Beautiful". I went home and research him to bits. Bought his wife's book "No Compromise", and wow the stories! Just incredible radical stuff. Last few years he gave his music away for free. lived off donations he didn't ask for. He was something else. Only one goal....Get real for Christ.
@@adisaargani836 it was a plane, not a helicopter. IThe plane was a Robertson STOL-modified Cessna 414. Keith and the two children were interred in the same coffin. Bodies accounted for, no mystery.
Look at the impact Keith and his ministry had in his short time with us. Just look at his legacy. I remember when I first heard Keith in 1978, I already knew the LORD, but boy did he set my walk on FIRE! Melody continues to be an inspiration along with the LDM. With Keith, you not only heard the music but his LOVE for CHRIST...Missed in these troubled times...
Stop finding fault with the interviewers. They are genuine as well. They just are not like Keith Green. The point is not to be like Keith Green. It is to be like Jesus Christ.
Keith Green's REWARD (for his Efforts) was to be REMOVED from this Utterly SINFUL Earth and 'Brought Home' Well BEFORE His Time ... God's Gift of Life, TAKEN Because THIS man Lived Jesus, Sang , SPOKE, LITERALLY Gave his Very LIFE, So that Others Might Hear and Bear Witness, as Mr. Green did, That OTHERS 'might' be SAVED !!! Finding this out Through PERSONAL Experience, I Stand and APPLAUD You, Sir ! May the Gospel Go OUT to ALL NATIONS, Just as Jesus Comanded, and may MY meager Life's Experience Be Complementary to the one You have led and Experienced !!! Sign Me : LambChop
Keith was a prophetic voice and psalmist. Music was a talent he had and used it for God. I was blessed to meet him in person once and went to some of his concerts. His newsletter from his Last Days Ministry was something to look forward to every month. His work still bears fruit.
Keith was a great wittness for me when I was lost. Just hearing him speak about Jesus Christ and how he paid the price for my sin. I had friends who told me about Jesus. They led me to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I love Jesus Christ. He is my life
So true. In this case, he carried the Gospel so powerfully that of course it lives on. I heard him in person as a teen, and couldn’t stand to listen to him preach because I couldn’t digest anything but milk. I always loved his music though. Now I crave the Truth he spoke!
Nails it. Right up to 7:20 and after. So many other religions try include Jesus in some way, but Jesus IS the WAY. Thank you, Keith, for wanting to know God more.
As a little child I would often think I wish Keith green was my dad, I would listen to his music in the car to from church tears would pour down my face even at the age of five I knew God's holy spirit was upon me I knew the presance of God that no compromise life imagine if we each lived that way if we forgave one another if we truly loved like christ we could turn this world around this couple were completely in love with God i want that no compromise attitude life ☺
Precious vessel of Jesus Christ! When I first got saved and Spirit-filled it was Keith Green's tape "No Compromise" that I would spend hours listening to. I was all alone but I could definitely feel the presence of Jesus while listening to Keith's anointed tape "No Compromise." It was only afterwards I found out what happened to him so very sad and a great loss to this world.
Im convinced if Keith were alive today, he'd be a fire and brimstone type preacher/evangelist. He stuck straight to the Word, and didnt cheapen the Gospel ever.
Wow, wow, just wow. The way he speaks just raw, real, and open to him being change and transform from Jesus Christ is beautiful and amazing. I find encouragement in his testimony and really first time hearing his testimony. Just amazing. Sweet and simple but life changing.
This month marks 40 years since we lost our sweet brother Keith, someone who searched for the truth with all his heart. God rewarded that search with an anointing so strong that it spilled out onto those around him and allowed him to speak the true heart of God in a way that convicted you down to your very soul. His ministry led me and many others to the Lord and his message still speaks to people because God's heart never changes. They say you can't take your treasures with you when you go, but he got to take two of his, Bethany and Josiah. He is buried in east Texas with a baby under each arm and someday the Great and Holy Grave Robber will come to resurrect us all to a new life. PTL!
I loved Keith Green's music as a kid. I wasn't born again at the time...I was one of those kids he describes here as just hanging on to the coat tails of my parents faith. Years later, when I was born again, I was amazed at how his music shaped my Christian life twenty years before I even had a real one. So many of my passions and convictions are rooted in his music. Talk about having fruit that remains!!! Wow! I thank God for his ministry that still continues today!
I forgot to mention something in my earlier comment I just left. I saw Keith Green play at the Blah Blah Cafe back in 1973! My older sister and her friend had taken he there. We talked with him while he was on a break. We were smoking a bowl outside and he had came up to us. I can't recall a single word he said to us, but I remember he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. It was a quick conversation, and me might have spoken with us more times because we went there several times. Life was so crazy for me back then. I was being destroyed on purpose by my family and friends that they had secretly invited to do it too.
I would have to say, if it wasn't for the loving & giving heart of Keith Green, I probably would not have become a believer and remained "the course" even through today. I led my brother to the Lord and he and I have led nearly 25 members of our extended family to Christ. I even have two boys who have become full-time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. (Keith would be proud) I have studied under many significant ministries, leaders, preachers, churches, in several denominations, but, sad to say, I have had to renounce many their influences from my life for many of them have fallen away from Christ Himself and His solid and simple teachings. Keith Green was that prophet that had caused myself and many to be single-focused in my walk with Christ and to seek to be planted in quality soil in order to produce fruit.
Timeless! Eternal. His ministry continues to bless others. Listening to his testimony reminds me of my own search in 2000 for the truth of Jesus and he speaks the truth... becoming a believer is a life changing experience!
I love Kieth Green. I always have since the 70’s! I miss him. But he is with the Lord in absolute Joy and Holiness!!! I can’t wait to meet him, when I get to be with the Lord! I love his music, and have listened for years.
all Keith wanted to be was to be like Jesus and i believe that this must be the desire of every true christian , the life of Keith was soo powerfull because of he's relationship with the Word and his Saviour , thats what we must live too . Love his music .thanks God for his life .
If only Keith Green was still with us He would wake up the body of the Christ Keith was a major influence on my early years as a born again Christian I listened to his music in the first several months to two years of my early born again Christian years
Wow. Talk about a blast from the past! My parents were really into his music back in the day. I remember hearing about his death as a child. The song that comes to mind when I'm reminded of Keith Green is "So you wanna go back to Egypt....." This is the first time I've seen him in an interview. Thanks.
I AM BLESSED Tremendously With Christ When Listening Too Keith Since 1979 And Father In Jesus Mighty Name I Thk U Father For Blessing Me Abundantly With All Of Keiths Teaching In His Music And I Miss Keith Physically ,But Lord I Praise You Lord With All My Mind Body And Soul And I Thk YOU LORD FOR Blessing Me With Your Love And LORD I NEED A BLESSING OF Abundance This DAY PLSE LORD TAKE THESE BURDENS FROM ME AND ,I NEED TOO BE THE DISCIPLE IN JESUS NAME I THK U FOR THIS VICTORY AMEN MERRY CHRISTMAS,-Is EVERYDAY,AMEN THKS JESUS AMEN Love Brian Concannon London,ontario,Canada
I remember David Mainse speaking at our little Pentecostal church in Armstrong BC,maybe in the late 80's,wish I had been more aware of things in those days, Keith Green's music became a part of my life more so in the late nineties when I was working with youth that were encouraged by Keith's passion.God's plans are truly beyond our own, and so much better.
He is totally blowing the minds of these interviewers. I'm sure they have never heard a conversion story like this. So much truth he is speaking here. As a Christian, this can be hard to hear. We all need to do better if only in a small way.
God gave Keith a superb talent and then suddenly took him home to heaven. He had been so prolific and was just 29. Melody was expecting their fourth baby. Who can comprehend the ways of the Lord. I am amazed at the purity of the approach that Keith and Melody had. Many lives have been touched by the music God gave him
The substance of the questions they asked Keith are actually excellent. The awkward way in which they attempt to be "hip" in their questions at times is kind of funny, but they did a really good job in this interview. And Keith? Well, Keith was Keith - an AMAZING evangelist, musician and prophet of his times.
I think God takes someone often because he (or she) might become the object of deification- such as rockstars, and God won't share His glory with anyone ( nee satan) .
@@PhoenixProdLLC not really. Faith goes into the ether, all right. But not believing "Someone" made life in all it's facets takes more faith- and faith in faith is dumb. Faith in ANYTHING other than Jesus Christ is fruitless.
I saw an old clip of him on a tv show, where celebrities had to guess what you did. He was 11 and had just signed with CBS records? He finished by going over and sitting at keyboard and singing a song he wrote, it was a love song as he had not been saved. I really don't think I would have recongized him if they hadn't said who he was. But so glad he took that talent and gave it to the Lord and when I first got saved in 78 his albums was first ones i bought along with Dallas Holms and don franscico and they really helped me in my walk with the Lord. My phone has many of keiths songs I downloaded into from my computer and I listen to them in car and outside on our stereo in summer. You can't make music like that no more.
Can you imagine the music he and Melody would have written and recorded by now... I was in high school when he died and I still have a hard time understanding his death.
there is still a mystery surrounding their death. they were on a Youth With A Mission helicopter and it crashed. the the search and rescue team found the helicopter wreck but didn't find the bodies.
The word of God always multiples. Thank you Keith for your time here and testimony. Thank you Melody for giving him the melody to carry the message forward. He influenced me before I wanted to know God. Maranatha!
At lunch today I decided to listen to "The Sheep And The Goats". What a great song. It brought back memories of when I used to be a Christian and trying to be a part of that whole movement.
My God... Keith had a 7 years ministry before Yah God of Heaven. He had... the perfect offering before God. I heard of Keith in 1993... it’s 2020 and that Holy fire....
it goes right over his head, the interviewer's the message Keith head which was always what Jesus wanted us ...street ministry and home group ministry ...
Brother Keith was an in-your-face kind of witness for the Lord Jesus. I saw that when I became aware of him and his music forty years ago, and it is just as clear today. All Glory to Christ Jesus.
Keith is such an incredible man and I love that he sees a problem and is not afraid to point it out when no one else will and I also love his enthusiasm for Jesus, it’s just true adoration.
Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been a Keith Green fan since the early 90’s when all there was were a few golf his tapes and his biography. This revealed to me so much more about him.
Amen. This needs to be posted on Twitter and Facebook. Sound, simple flawless presentation. God doesn't have grandchildren. You must accept Christs' salvation on their own. Repent and be saved; you will never regret it.🙌✝❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️
Keith, you were born again not by your will, but the will of Him who called you. I love you and your music, as it shaped my early life in Christ. I look fwd to meeting you in glory!
Many of today’s Christian musicians could learn a great deal from listening to this video Christ ist money last You look at many of them and ask yourself did God call them or themself and man?
@Colleen From NH kieth green Carmen scripture in song Gaither vocal band or southern gospel Basically much of 70s and eighties were encouraging but the likes of kieth and Carmen stood out But Keith not only sang life he lived it witnessing opening his home I just wonder how he would be accepted by today’s Christian I think he would be too sharp for some We don’t want you to preach at us just sing ➕🌈🇮🇱🇦🇺 I listen to very little of Hillsong planetshakers bethel etc There are some beautiful songs but not many Mostly feel good emotional love story type songs And of course you can never go past the wonderful hymns
I gave my life two Christ on my mother birthday and 33 days after keith s passing his music and words have always inspired me to do my very best for Jesus and more I got to meet melody at one of keith s memorial concert In Louisville kENTUCKY wonderful Lady and she was very pregnant at the time I will say this because as much as I love ❤️ and miss keith he would want me to share this with anyone that might come listen to his testimony here Please I beg you please except Jesus Christ as your personal savior repeat after me lord Jesus I know I’m a sinner lord Jesus I believe you made the ultimate sacrifice at Calvary by die ing on the cross to take away the sins of the world please come live in my heart ❤️ in Jesus name I pray amen try and find a local church were the Bible is thought and get deciple start reading your Bible in the book of Saint John
Keith had that rare ability to not just sit back after a concert and say "I've done my part.' but he saw the rest of it. Otherwise, the musician falls into the dangerous role of being worshiped as opposed to the Lord he's singing about. I saw him once in Chico in 1981, I think. Some people rejected Keith's message but my thought was that if you fall into that category, then the message was for you. I found it hard to believe that God would take him and his son so soon. But it was confirmed and what do you make of that? John Lennon died and it was sad. Keith Green died for the moment, and the lack of the music he made that saddens us, as well as for Melody and their other children. It's refreshing to know that we'll all be there! No more death, no more tears, no more pain! Thank you, Jesus!
Keith's music and message is so sweet. I play them always and it helps me to be focused, free from any distraction of my heavenly calling. He is the Paul of our day. Warning us that "the Kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force". Keith lived everyday with Jesus, as though Jesus would come any moment. Maranatha.
where did you get that erroneous doctrine from, one of the 7th day cults? Jesus told the thief, "This day, you will be with me in paradise." Not today you will go to sleep, until I come back in a few thousand years. Read all of the Bible, not just the few verses Herbert W. showed you.
Just a few months after I became a Christian, he came to Baton Rouge and one of the things he said early is hey I want to welcome the first church of some denomination , I cant remember which, and they all cheered, and in reproof he stated well the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Then after a silence, he started to preach against religiosity and played the piano only for a short time. After the rebuke was complete, he asked us all to leave without saying a word to one another.
Do you remember what year that was? Sorry that this was your experience Stephen! It seems that Keith went through a progress of maturing, and softened up towards the end of his short life in Christ. Please forgive him for that insensitivity. There's a nice saying in this regard: To the new in Christ, he is a Lamb, to the maturing, he is the Lion, to the mature, he is both the Lion and the Lamb.
Keith Green sought and found what he was looking for Jesus Christ, because he was willing to live for Jesus and talk to people about Him, God used him. He loved the Lord with all his heart and that's reflected in the way he produced his songs. I read somewhere that he used ti give away his albums for free at his concerts, who does that except that he be led of God
Keith was asked, “How did you know that Jesus was God?” Keith responded by saying , “He changed me.” That’s it folks. Jesus ,the one who doesn’t change , changes you and conforms you to His will. Great answer and great truth.
Amen.
Amen!

@@adisaargani836 it was an airplane, not helicopter.
Look at the impact Keith and his ministry had
in his short time with us. Just look at his legacy.
I remember when I first heard Keith in 1978, I already knew the LORD, but boy did he set my walk on FIRE! Melody continues to be an inspiration along with the LDM.
With Keith, you not only heard the music but his LOVE for CHRIST...Missed in these troubled times...
Only 28 years old here. He spoke like he was in his mid-40's.
I wonder what he would say about the US if he were alive today.
Stop finding fault with the interviewers. They are genuine as well. They just are not like Keith Green. The point is not to be like Keith Green. It is to be like Jesus Christ.
Keith Green is love. Keith Green is life.
yes if more people had keith's attitude about Jesus the world would actually be worth living in
Very well spoken mate
Keith Green's REWARD (for his Efforts) was to be REMOVED
from this Utterly SINFUL Earth and 'Brought Home' Well BEFORE
His Time ...
God's Gift of Life, TAKEN
Because THIS man
Lived Jesus, Sang , SPOKE,
LITERALLY Gave his
Very LIFE, So that Others
Might Hear and Bear Witness,
as Mr. Green did, That OTHERS
'might' be SAVED !!!
Finding this out Through
PERSONAL Experience,
I Stand and APPLAUD You,
Sir !
May the Gospel Go OUT to ALL
NATIONS, Just as Jesus Comanded, and may MY
meager Life's Experience
Be Complementary to
the one You have led
and Experienced !!!

Amen sir. Keith was a great example of Christ and had a great testimony.
Keith was a prophetic voice and psalmist. Music was a talent he had and used it for God. I was blessed to meet him in person once and went to some of his concerts. His newsletter from his Last Days Ministry was something to look forward to every month. His work still bears fruit.
Yes Is very
Keith was a great wittness for me when I was lost. Just hearing him speak about Jesus Christ and how he paid the price for my sin. I had friends who told me about Jesus. They led me to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
I love Jesus Christ. He is my life
If the pastors today could take a lesson from this man. What a world could be saved.
“Those who are dead, yet speak”
So true. In this case, he carried the Gospel so powerfully that of course it lives on. I heard him in person as a teen, and couldn’t stand to listen to him preach because I couldn’t digest anything but milk. I always loved his music though. Now I crave the Truth he spoke!
Nails it. Right up to 7:20 and after. So many other religions try include Jesus in some way, but Jesus IS the WAY. Thank you, Keith, for wanting to know God more.
As a little child I would often think I wish Keith green was my dad, I would listen to his music in the car to from church tears would pour down my face even at the age of five I knew God's holy spirit was upon me I knew the presance of God that no compromise life imagine if we each lived that way if we forgave one another if we truly loved like christ we could turn this world around this couple were completely in love with God i want that no compromise attitude life ☺
I am looking forward to seeing my brother Keith when I get to Heaven - what an awesome Family Jesus has put together and He is still working on it! :)
Precious vessel of Jesus Christ! When I first got saved and Spirit-filled it was Keith Green's tape "No Compromise" that I would spend hours listening to. I was all alone but I could definitely feel the presence of Jesus while listening to Keith's anointed tape "No Compromise." It was only afterwards I found out what happened to him so very sad and a great loss to this world.
"THere Is a Redeemer" really touches my heart
Yes. One of my most favs by Keith Green...I still play it when I need to be drawn in & lifted.
☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️👍👍👍👍👍✌GOD BLESS YOU KEITH, YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER....I AM ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU IN HEAVEN
Same here man!
Im convinced if Keith were alive today, he'd be a fire and brimstone type preacher/evangelist. He stuck straight to the Word, and didnt cheapen the Gospel ever.
Anne Marie Gigi
I don’t think so. He was actually repenting of that before he died.
Ibelieve you are right....
@@lyndae.2055 I doubt it. He showed no indications of that type of religious teaching.
I am sure it was a King James Bible !!!!!
This is moot ...we cant decide who others are. Keith Green was who he was/is ..He did tell the Truth ...no doubt ..
Praise God for this man. A true inspiration!
Let us all continue to take courage and inspiration from his life and music.
Keith was SOLD OUT TO JESUS, not the world and money.
Thank you for sharing this classic interview speaking a volume of wisdom yet still fresh as if yesterday. Yeshua is Lord & King. Shalom everyone.
Wow, wow, just wow. The way he speaks just raw, real, and open to him being change and transform from Jesus Christ is beautiful and amazing. I find encouragement in his testimony and really first time hearing his testimony. Just amazing. Sweet and simple but life changing.
This month marks 40 years since we lost our sweet brother Keith, someone who searched for the truth with all his heart. God rewarded that search with an anointing so strong that it spilled out onto those around him and allowed him to speak the true heart of God in a way that convicted you down to your very soul. His ministry led me and many others to the Lord and his message still speaks to people because God's heart never changes. They say you can't take your treasures with you when you go, but he got to take two of his, Bethany and Josiah. He is buried in east Texas with a baby under each arm and someday the Great and Holy Grave Robber will come to resurrect us all to a new life. PTL!
Keith was raw talent. The real deal.
I miss this man so much. Even today he still teaches people for Christ. What an amazing man of God.
I loved Keith Green's music as a kid. I wasn't born again at the time...I was one of those kids he describes here as just hanging on to the coat tails of my parents faith. Years later, when I was born again, I was amazed at how his music shaped my Christian life twenty years before I even had a real one. So many of my passions and convictions are rooted in his music. Talk about having fruit that remains!!! Wow! I thank God for his ministry that still continues today!
I forgot to mention something in my earlier comment I just left. I saw Keith Green play at the Blah Blah Cafe back in 1973! My older sister and her friend had taken he there. We talked with him while he was on a break. We were smoking a bowl outside and he had came up to us. I can't recall a single word he said to us, but I remember he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. It was a quick conversation, and me might have spoken with us more times because we went there several times. Life was so crazy for me back then. I was being destroyed on purpose by my family and friends that they had secretly invited to do it too.
Keith is so genuine, hard to understand he is now longer on earth, love him, have not seen him on RUclips for many years!
Thank you!!
Oh I so miss people like Keith telling it like it is. Thank the Lord for people like Francis Chan and others today.
Paul Washer and Richard Owen Roberts are excellent.
You should listen to Zac poonen
@@michaelprashanth5202 he is one of the few truly wise elders we have left today.
IVE SEEN A LOT OF KEITH GREEN ON RUclips THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TO SEE THIS ONE!
I love Keith. Looking forward to worshipping Yeshua with him in glory.
He loved Jesus
I would have to say, if it wasn't for the loving & giving heart of Keith Green, I probably would not have become a believer and remained "the course" even through today. I led my brother to the Lord and he and I have led nearly 25 members of our extended family to Christ. I even have two boys who have become full-time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. (Keith would be proud)
I have studied under many significant ministries, leaders, preachers, churches, in several denominations, but, sad to say, I have had to renounce many their influences from my life for many of them have fallen away from Christ Himself and His solid and simple teachings.
Keith Green was that prophet that had caused myself and many to be single-focused in my walk with Christ and to seek to be planted in quality soil in order to produce fruit.
Timeless! Eternal. His ministry continues to bless others. Listening to his testimony reminds me of my own search in 2000 for the truth of Jesus and he speaks the truth... becoming a believer is a life changing experience!
The Spirit still speaks through Keith. Thank You God for Keith Green.
I love Keith Green's testimony its great Praise God!
I love Kieth Green. I always have since the 70’s! I miss him. But he is with the Lord in absolute Joy and Holiness!!! I can’t wait to meet him, when I get to be with the Lord! I love his music, and have listened for years.
Keith Green was so right about the prosperity and the church. It’s 2020 now.
Powerful message from a true servant of God!🕊
His life was so short but his musical heritage still helps winning hearts for Christ!
all Keith wanted to be was to be like Jesus and i believe that this must be the desire of every true christian , the life of Keith was soo powerfull because of he's relationship with the Word and his Saviour , thats what we must live too . Love his music .thanks God for his life .
If anyone wants to listen to people like Keith listen to Paul Washer and Eric Ludy!!! One of a kinds. Truly.
hmmm...I think Paul Washer is more stern than Keith was.
If only Keith Green was still with us He would wake up the body of the Christ Keith was a major influence on my early years as a born again Christian I listened to his music in the first several months to two years of my early born again Christian years
He had such a major impact on my Christian faith. His music ability was such a gift to the world and continues to inspire so many.
Wow. Talk about a blast from the past! My parents were really into his music back in the day. I remember hearing about his death as a child. The song that comes to mind when I'm reminded of Keith Green is "So you wanna go back to Egypt....."
This is the first time I've seen him in an interview. Thanks.
I AM BLESSED Tremendously With Christ When Listening Too Keith Since 1979 And Father In Jesus Mighty Name I Thk U Father For Blessing Me Abundantly With All Of Keiths Teaching In His Music And I Miss Keith Physically ,But Lord I Praise You Lord With All My Mind Body And Soul And I Thk YOU LORD FOR Blessing Me With Your Love And LORD I NEED A BLESSING OF Abundance This DAY PLSE LORD TAKE THESE BURDENS FROM ME AND ,I NEED TOO BE THE DISCIPLE IN JESUS NAME I THK U FOR THIS VICTORY AMEN MERRY CHRISTMAS,-Is EVERYDAY,AMEN THKS JESUS AMEN Love Brian Concannon London,ontario,Canada
I remember David Mainse speaking at our little Pentecostal church in Armstrong BC,maybe in the late 80's,wish I had been more aware of things in those days, Keith Green's music became a part of my life more so in the late nineties when I was working with youth that were encouraged by Keith's passion.God's plans are truly beyond our own, and so much better.
He is totally blowing the minds of these interviewers. I'm sure they have never heard a conversion story like this. So much truth he is speaking here. As a Christian, this can be hard to hear. We all need to do better if only in a small way.
God gave Keith a superb talent and then suddenly took him home to heaven. He had been so prolific and was just 29. Melody was expecting their fourth baby. Who can comprehend the ways of the Lord. I am amazed at the purity of the approach that Keith and Melody had. Many lives have been touched by the music God gave him
The substance of the questions they asked Keith are actually excellent. The awkward way in which they attempt to be "hip" in their questions at times is kind of funny, but they did a really good job in this interview. And Keith? Well, Keith was Keith - an AMAZING evangelist, musician and prophet of his times.
He was a great Christian. God called him home early because He loved him. Loved his music. He was so sincere.
No, his plane crashed. Are you saying God "loved" Keith so much he crashed his plane?
Your skydaddy sounds like a psychopath to me.
@@PhoenixProdLLC You are free to have your own opinion.
I think God takes someone often because he (or she) might become the object of deification- such as rockstars, and God won't share His glory with anyone ( nee satan) .
@@PhoenixProdLLC not really. Faith goes into the ether, all right. But not believing "Someone" made life in all it's facets takes more faith- and faith in faith is dumb. Faith in ANYTHING other than Jesus Christ is fruitless.
I saw an old clip of him on a tv show, where celebrities had to guess what you did. He was 11 and had just signed with CBS records? He finished by going over and sitting at keyboard and singing a song he wrote, it was a love song as he had not been saved. I really don't think I would have recongized him if they hadn't said who he was. But so glad he took that talent and gave it to the Lord and when I first got saved in 78 his albums was first ones i bought along with Dallas Holms and don franscico and they really helped me in my walk with the Lord. My phone has many of keiths songs I downloaded into from my computer and I listen to them in car and outside on our stereo in summer. You can't make music like that no more.
Can you imagine the music he and Melody would have written and recorded by now... I was in high school when he died and I still have a hard time understanding his death.
God called him, Josiah, and Bethany to heaven.
As an artist, the timing may have been perfect for maximum impact.
there is still a mystery surrounding their death. they were on a Youth With A Mission helicopter and it crashed. the the search and rescue team found the helicopter wreck but didn't find the bodies.
@@adisaargani836
That's not true.
It was a Cessna, not a helicopter.
Plane was leased, not owned by YWAM.
All 11 bodies were recovered.
I never knew till just *now* that Keith was Jewish. And to hear "Yeshua HaMaschiach" come out of his mouth made my eyes pop out!
That was a new revelation for me too ...
This interview was taped waaaay before the Messianic movement was mainstream.
🙏 🕊
This is the year God called him home. I was 19 and it was summer. I will never forget.
The word of God always multiples. Thank you Keith for your time here and testimony. Thank you Melody for giving him the melody to carry the message forward. He influenced me before I wanted to know God. Maranatha!
At lunch today I decided to listen to "The Sheep And The Goats". What a great song. It brought back memories of when I used to be a Christian and trying to be a part of that whole movement.
My God... Keith had a 7 years ministry before Yah God of Heaven. He had... the perfect offering before God. I heard of Keith in 1993... it’s 2020 and that Holy fire....
If you haven't watched videos of Keith's teachings on RUclips, do yourself a favor. He has a great way of helping you understand the Gospel.
it goes right over his head, the interviewer's the message Keith head which was always what Jesus wanted us ...street ministry and home group ministry ...
Brother Keith was an in-your-face kind of witness for the Lord Jesus. I saw that when I became aware of him and his music forty years ago, and it is just as clear today. All Glory to Christ Jesus.
Keith is such an incredible man and I love that he sees a problem and is not afraid to point it out when no one else will and I also love his enthusiasm for Jesus, it’s just true adoration.
Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been a Keith Green fan since the early 90’s when all there was were a few golf his tapes and his biography. This revealed to me so much more about him.
I knew someone who was led to the Lord by Keith Green. He was Jewish too. So am I.
Amen. This needs to be posted on Twitter and Facebook. Sound, simple flawless presentation.
God doesn't have grandchildren. You must accept Christs' salvation on their own. Repent and be saved; you will never regret it.🙌✝❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️
Praise God
he has a great impact in our lives way back 80's, now we are all Christians and continuing serving God with zeal
Keith green is one of my hero’s. He has been very influential in my Christian walk.
Keith, you were born again not by your will, but the will of Him who called you.
I love you and your music, as it shaped my early life in Christ. I look fwd to meeting you in glory!
Hope to see you in heaven, brother! God bless
Happy to see an Indian commenting..praise the Lord sister
Love Keith Green beautiful anointed music.
Miss this guy. Worked for his wife and ministry in the 90s. Such a powerful word
I spent about 4 years at LDM, starting in 1989. Still serving in YWAM...
Thanks for sharing Mike A! Nice interview! Love the background Keith goes into regarding his upbringing.
Many of today’s Christian musicians could learn a great deal from listening to this video Christ ist money last
You look at many of them and ask yourself did God call them or themself and man?
@Colleen From NH kieth green Carmen scripture in song Gaither vocal band or southern gospel
Basically much of 70s and eighties were encouraging but the likes of kieth and Carmen stood out
But Keith not only sang life he lived it witnessing opening his home
I just wonder how he would be accepted by today’s Christian
I think he would be too sharp for some
We don’t want you to preach at us just sing ➕🌈🇮🇱🇦🇺
I listen to very little of Hillsong planetshakers bethel etc
There are some beautiful songs but not many
Mostly feel good emotional love story type songs
And of course you can never go past the wonderful hymns
@@gregstickler3798 BOTH political groups WOULD be mad at Keith! LOL
I gave my life two Christ on my mother birthday and 33 days after keith s passing his music and words have always inspired me to do my very best for Jesus and more
I got to meet melody at one of keith s memorial concert In Louisville kENTUCKY wonderful Lady and she was very pregnant at the time
I will say this because as much as I love ❤️ and miss keith he would want me to share this with anyone that might come listen to his testimony here
Please I beg you please except Jesus Christ as your personal savior repeat after me lord Jesus I know I’m a sinner lord Jesus I believe you made the ultimate sacrifice at Calvary by die ing on the cross to take away the sins of the world please come live in my heart ❤️ in Jesus name I pray amen
try and find a local church were the Bible is thought and get deciple start reading your Bible in the book of Saint John
Keith had that rare ability to not just sit back after a concert and say "I've done my part.' but he saw the rest of it. Otherwise, the musician falls into the dangerous role of being worshiped as opposed to the Lord he's singing about. I saw him once in Chico in 1981, I think. Some people rejected Keith's message but my thought was that if you fall into that category, then the message was for you. I found it hard to believe that God would take him and his son so soon. But it was confirmed and what do you make of that? John Lennon died and it was sad. Keith Green died for the moment, and the lack of the music he made that saddens us, as well as for Melody and their other children. It's refreshing to know that we'll all be there! No more death, no more tears, no more pain! Thank you, Jesus!
Right on Jesus is God, he found the truth.
Where did you get this???? Looking for one about this old with Gene Sullivan, have that one?
Great testimony!!!
Such a perfect time to hear from Keith Green again ty Jesus! You must be Lord of all or not at all! 🙏🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🔥🔥🔥
Keith's music and message is so sweet. I play them always and it helps me to be focused, free from any distraction of my heavenly calling.
He is the Paul of our day. Warning us that "the Kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force". Keith lived everyday with Jesus, as though Jesus would come any moment.
Maranatha.
What a beautiful testimony!!!
"stay away from overloaded airplanes and uncertified pilots." Keith Green in heaven.
"In a deep, deep, sleep." Garner Ted Armstrong
Eliot Drake He is actually asleep in Christ until the Day of the Lord comes.
where did you get that erroneous doctrine from, one of the 7th day cults? Jesus told the thief, "This day, you will be with me in paradise." Not today you will go to sleep, until I come back in a few thousand years. Read all of the Bible, not just the few verses Herbert W. showed you.
Know Music Man 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and I don't know anyone by the name of Herbert W....God bless.
Are you in a "7th Day" church of some kind?
Keith gave me so much inspiration when I was a young Christian.
Just a few months after I became a Christian, he came to Baton Rouge and one of the things he said early is hey I want to welcome the first church of some denomination , I cant remember which, and they all cheered, and in reproof he stated well the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Then after a silence, he started to preach against religiosity and played the piano only for a short time. After the rebuke was complete, he asked us all to leave without saying a word to one another.
Stephen Richard Sounds like he was having a day.
Do you remember what year that was? Sorry that this was your experience Stephen! It seems that Keith went through a progress of maturing, and softened up towards the end of his short life in Christ. Please forgive him for that insensitivity. There's a nice saying in this regard: To the new in Christ, he is a Lamb, to the maturing, he is the Lion, to the mature, he is both the Lion and the Lamb.
He was strongly influenced by Leonard Ravenhill who was a big critic of religious Christianity.
That's messed up
@@nicholaspetersen1629 excellent
his testimony is so good. being willing to be a laughingstock for Jesus. wow.
Wonderful! Thanks for posting this!
I am so skeptical of christianity, but when i see the authenticity and realness of keith, i believe
I love this man. Wanna be like him✝️
Amazing testimony
used to go to see him at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, he would play barefoot
Keith Green sought and found what he was looking for Jesus Christ, because he was willing to live for Jesus and talk to people about Him, God used him. He loved the Lord with all his heart and that's reflected in the way he produced his songs.
I read somewhere that he used ti give away his albums for free at his concerts, who does that except that he be led of God
It was whatever y could afford. LOVE IT!!
Shout out for Jesus. Love 😍 Keith.
