Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Surmon When I heard Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were guest preachers at a nearby Black church, I decided to go there and check them out in person. As soon as I sat down, Sharpton came up to me. I don't know why, maybe it was because I was the only white person in the church. He laid his hands on my head and said: ""By the will of Jesus the Lord Almighty, and the will of God, you will walk today."" I told him I was not paralyzed. Then Jesse Jackson came by and said: ""By the Grace of God, and his Son Jesus, the Lord Almighty, you will walk today.""Again I said that there is nothing wrong with me. After the sermon I stepped outside and lo and behold .... my car was gone!
