somebody give god a praise yeah yeah is oh yes come on if you know you're blessed in this place put your hands together one more time and give god a great praise in this oh come on somebody if god woke you up this morning if you're standing here today in your right mind come on just just give him a little phrase for a moment because a lot of times we think that to be blessed means monetarily we think that oh if i'm blessed i have a ton of money and our life's just good but let me tell you today that that is not the only blessing that god will pour out upon your life the fact that we are standing here today in his presence unashamed proclaiming the name of jesus is a blessing in itself the fact that you have breath in your body right now is a blessing in itself there was people who didn't make it through the night last night there was people who didn't wake up to see another day but god blessed you enough to be right here so there is no reason why we shouldn't just give him some praise not because of what he's done for us but because of who he is god i bless you for who you are not for what you do for me jesus hallelujah as the ushers make their way down we are preparing for sunday morning tides and offering if you have that this is the time and service where you could give that unto god let me tell you who doesn't want to be a thief who doesn't want to be a thief because it says in the bible that where have you robbed me you have brought me in your tithes and in your offerings i don't know about you but i don't want to steal from god i don't want to he's done too much for me for me to try and steal from him so as we prepare let's just take a moment and pray god right now lord would you break and would you bless jesus what we're given to you lord god we know that you don't need it jesus but we give this as a a sacrifice lord as an offering jesus unto you lord would you take it would you break it would you multiply jesus for your glory jesus not for our gain jesus but for you in your mighty name we pray in the name of jesus [Music] [Applause] amen on if you expect something from god this morning just bless his name if you came with great expectation bless his name he is worthy he's deserving of the glory hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah if you want it you can have it if you need it you can have it [Music] you can have it if you need it you can have it if you want it you can have it if you need is you can have it is [Music] is is is is [Music] is is somebody give god your best praise today come on i know it's sunday morning and you came in here with

stand with me all over the sanctuary as we prepare for the entrance of the word of the lord into this house amen we are so thankful for what god is doing and i am i am just thrilled this morning to have pastor jackson with us and uh i could not put into words this morning how much this man his ministry and his friendship mean to me i could probably count on one hand less than one hand the men that if i really was in trouble that i would call and this man is one of them [Music] and i love him god has used him in just a miraculous way across this country he and his wife currently lead a thriving growing apostolic church in general louisiana he is a highly sought-after preacher across our country and we are just delighted that he and his family are here i want him to come and i want him to just obey the holy ghost how many of you ready to just ride the chariot with the man of god today one more time as he comes to deliver the word of the lord would you lift your hands and lift your voice all over this sanctuary come on would you lift your voice with your hands as we stand prepared for the word of the lord in this place brother jackson come preach the word of the lord to us come on you want to give the lord another great big hand clap for praise and thanksgiving come on why don't you do it out of your heart as unto the lord you may be sitting here for just a moment i want to say indeed that it is not your honor to have us it is our honor to be here i greet and salute the wonderful saints of god that are in this house today and uh let me just commend you and tell you that you are a true example of what a book of acts church is supposed to look like and act like i salute you today that does not just happen that comes through great leadership that's right and the rock church of fort myers has some of the greatest leadership in the history of the church with pastor randy williams first lady barbara williams isaac judah you are a blessed people you know that don't you my heart my calling my burden is to the most wonderful people of god in deep south louisiana right in the heart of cajun country and i give up very few of my sundays i like being with the people that god has called me to shepherd and lead but if i was going to give up being with them there's no people i would rather be with than pastor and sister williams their family and the beautiful rock church of fort myers god bless you today oh he was introducing me uh south louisiana it's a it's a different part of the world they tell the story of one of them sweet cantankerous cajun ladies said at the funeral of her husband they begin to the minister began to give the eulogy he was just saying all these wonderful things they said she got up from the front row where she was at right while he was eulogizing him looked into that big pine box looked up at that preacher said i just had to check make sure we was all here with the right person and so that's how i felt about that introduction today i appreciate those kind words but i do know that in my flesh is no good thing and should something good come from the service today and from this word it will be only because of the goodness and grace of our great god are you thankful that his grace is sufficient even late in the midnight hour god can still turn it around i feel the help of the holy ghost in this house today oh somebody ought to praise him right now well i i do i mean this i counted a double honor to get to be here my daddy used to have a saying he said son make sure when you're making friends you get some you can ride the river with and that is the kind of friend that brother randy williams has been to us and i'm not going to preach long this morning i can't say the same about tonight but this morning but sister williams what a true example of a christian lady that you are i walked i walked in late last night i wanted to we got in late i wanted to come by this church and pray and it just so happened the williams were still here and led us in and showed us around and uh brother williams knocked on sister williams's office door wanting to show me that and she said well she said these boys they've got stuff everywhere and he said well it don't matter nothing to him and she said well first impressions are the most important impression and i stepped in and i say this very respectfully her eyes were all puffy you could tell she had been alone with jesus you could tell that she had not just been praying but she had really been praying and i told her i said sister williams this is the best first impression anybody could receive knowing that there is a praying first lady this church is blessed not with just a preacher second to none and brother williams but in a prayer warrior second to none and sister williams i salute you today in jesus name you stand with me and we're going to go to the book of acts the second chapter and as you're turning to all of our guests here today i will unashamedly acknowledge you are being cheated this morning this church will be polite and not clap at me saying that but they know i'm telling the truth because there is no greater preacher in pentecost than randy williams [Applause] [Music] they they talk about the it factor you can teach and help develop a lot of things but when it comes to the it factor you either have it or you don't have it and brother williams he's got it and if he could just learn to sing man acts the second chapter my family i'm so honored to have them today it's not always that they travel with me i love my wife my three children and this week my bonus kids sister chanel brother brayden love them now my wife she does travel with me more than my children my children at the age it's hard to get them to go anywhere but there was something stirred up in them when i said well we have this wedding but then we're going to fort myers they packed so quick know what the deal is i don't like that welcome home business though that's for everybody else that ain't for either one of my girls i'd tell you that for some reason they catch your attention while you're here you need to fall in love with cajun country where you fall in love with either of my girls so uh that's the word from the lord today this is just a lanyard but we're getting ready to get into amen acts chapter number two verse number 38 the anthem of the real church then peter said unto them repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of jesus christ for the remission of sean's and ye shall not you might not there's a good possibility uh not if you're the right color not if you're the right class not if you voted for the right person not if you're from the right side of the tracks but if you'll repent and you'll get baptized in jesus name ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost but that's not the best part brother williams in this passage the best part is right here for the promise is unto you and unto your children out and all that are far off even as many as the lord our god shall call and if god would help me today i want to preach what they just saying if you want it to you can have it i want you to just turn to somebody and i want you to tell them out if you want it time you don't have to wait for it you don't have to keep looking for it but you can leave here today with the greatest guilt in all the world somebody put your hands together and shout out to the god with the voice of triumph right now hallelujah god bless you you may be seated for just a few moments in the rich wonderful presence of our great god i i want to declare to you very quickly today that the initial infilling and then the indwelling and continually being renewed in the power of the holy ghost is the only answer for mankind it is not just a answer it is the only answer for our world we we have a lot of people who with good intentions are trying to provide answers to people as they struggle and as they battle their way through life there are all kinds of organizations there are all kinds of things that man is trying to come up with to help man but man is not the answer for man only god is the answer for humanity and i'm happy to tell you today uh you're in a house where we're not trying to promote programs but we can tell you how to get the power out the power to live an overcoming life the power to give a victorious life and the power to make it until you hear well done thy good and faithful servant i i am not uh political i i i certainly believe that we should keep politics out of the church because as the church we're in this world but we're not of this world and and and in saying that i'm i'm weary of people thinking that government can provide the answer you need to understand today if you're in trouble if you're in despair if your world is falling apart if you're suffering from abuse if you're bound by depression if you're struggling with addiction it doesn't matter who's elected november 4th they're not your answer huh government is not the answer the holy ghost is the answer [Applause] no doubt with a number of guests that are here today there are people from all kinds of denominal backgrounds and i i just have to tell you that just like government is not the answer religion is not the answer huh you you can't religious your way into freedom and into power into an overcoming life religion is not the answer when you see all that we're doing in the way that we're acting and we extend an invitation to you to become a part of us we're not asking you to join another religion this is not simply a denomination what we're trying to invite you to is an experience with god through the power of the holy ghost [Applause] social reform is not the answer social justice will not bring any race any kind of peace out let me tell you there's only one piece that passeth all understanding uh and it's through the power of the holy ghost all right i know this is simple today i'm i'm just a simple preacher matter of fact just just recently i had uh some young evangelists with me and and they were asking they said you know what what is the key uh to to uh i guess they used the word success but what they were talking about is people wanting to have us and then when we get there people wanting to keep us and without hesitation i looked at both of those young men and i said minister to people don't try to impress people and so so today uh though i couldn't if i wanted to i'm not trying to impress you i'm being very simple because i want to minister to you because there are people in this house today that you barely made it to the service this morning uh you come from a terrible background you come from a long line of generational curses alcoholics and drug addicts and abusers and and and you have sought help in so many places uh and you didn't need an intellectual word today uh you needed somebody to give you the answer and so i'm not trying to impress anybody in this house uh but you're gonna hear me say this over and over and over again if you really want deliverance today you can have it if you really want victory in your life today you can have it if you really want to shake off the addictions and wave your past goodbye you can have it but if you're going to have it you got to get it like everybody else got it you have to have the holy ghost it's jesus on the inside working on the outside making a change in your life [Applause] and i'm just going to tell you here today there's not just going to be one or two get the holy ghost you get ready it's fixed again like the day of pentecost around here there's a lot of people you might not have even knowed why you came you might just be here because granny wouldn't leave you alone or the van driver just kept handing you cards uh but you're here today uh on purpose not to visit us but to have an audience with the king you're getting ready to be filled with the most amazing incredible unexplainable experience the gift of the holy ghost if you're here today and you do not have the holy ghost i will just tell you very plainly you need it and if you want to be saved you have to have it now let me move on if you're here today with the holy ghost you need a renewing of the holy ghost and you can't be saved without a continual renewing because to live in victory it's not just getting the holy ghost but it's keeping the holy ghost and the way you keep the holy ghost is the same way you get the holy ghost you just keep coming back to the whale and drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking and then drinking some more and and so very quickly to some of our guests who may not understand all that i'm talking about i want to help you see today that the holy ghost is not a rock church thing it's not a pentecostal thing it's not an apostolic thing but it is something that for ages the old testament writers being the schoolmaster would plot towards the day that you and i are living in right now for it is recorded and foretold many times by the great prophets of the old testament as they were moved on by something that you and i are able to go home with as they were moved on by the holy ghost they would begin to write and they would begin to pen the words prophetically for telling uh what would be that which would help man live and overcoming a life up you need to understand that the indwelling and the infilling of the holy ghost is not just a new testament thing but rather it was the primary moment to which the old testament telescopes are through its riders the day when god could once again dwell with and in man the old testament writers would foretell that that which was lost in the garden through the deception of the devil and sienna will one day be restored in other words these prophets have forsaken their fist at the adversary say you think you got us down and we can't get up but you just wait baby there's a day coming out when god is gonna pour out his spirit upon all flesh we we get glimpses of this the prophet jeremiah would write but this shall be the covenant that i will make with the house of israel after those days saith the lord i will put my law in their inward parts i write it in their hearts i will be their god they shall be my people they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying know the lord for they all shall know me and i like this from the least to the greatest saith the lord and this is how they're going to know me i i'm going to forgive their iniquity i'm going to put a plan in place where they don't just have to sacrifice to roll their sins ahead and stay bound i'm hoping i'll continue to have mercy out but i'm getting ready to breach the gap i'm getting ready to forgive their iniquities and to remember their sin no more joel would write about it he said it shall come to pass afterward i will pour out my spirit upon some flesh no no let me tell you about the holy ghost today it's colorblind it's culture blind it's social blind let me tell you about the church there's only one culture and it's the culture of christ [Applause] he said your sons and daughters will prophesy o men shall drink dreams young men shall see visions and upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will i pour out my spirit so you see the old testament pointing towards it then you see in the beginning of the gospels how that john would prophesy matthew 3 as he's baptizing in the jordan he said i'm baptizing you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me he is mightier than i whose shoes i'm not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with everybody shout the holy ghost and with fire jesus would not just leave it to the prophets nor would he leave it simply to the apostles and the preachers of the days of the gospel but he himself would prophetically foretell what was getting ready to soon happen because of his robing himself in flesh and being on earth and rubbing shoulders with humanity he said even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth them not neither knoweth him but he know him for he dwelleth with you he's talking about himself he said let me tell you about the spirit right now it's dwelling with you right now i'm breaking bread and i'm giving you words and i'm telling you parables and i'm showing you how to lay hands on the stick and watch them recover i'm telling you and showing you how to treat your neighbor and how to turn the other cheek i'm teaching you how to be disciples how this spirit is with you he said but there's coming a day it's not just going to be with you because if it's just with me i can be separated from it he said let me tell you about the holy ghost it's not just going to be with you but i'm getting ready to make a way where it can be in you i'm getting ready to make a way where you can't just have joy when you come to church but you can have joy but you have to go back home to that hell hole you won't just have joy when you're a prayer meeting but you can have joy on the job and joy in your marriage and joy in your circumstances and peace in your life [Applause] he said it's not just gonna be with you it's going to be in you he said i'm not going to leave you comfortless i will come to you in john 20 jesus said to them again peace be unto you as my father hath sent me even so send i you and he showed how they would go out and be victorious for he breathed on them and said unto them receive ye the holy ghost and i see in just showing you though i could go on and on and on today how that the infilling and the indwelling of the holy ghost is a biblical thing not a pentecostal thing but it is a biblical thing it's not grandmama thing it's biblical it's not empty so and so it's biblical it's not the nominal it's biblical it's not religious it's biblical for jesus the last day the great day of the feast stood and cried saying if any man thirst if you're in trouble and you can't get out of it if you've got scars that are haunting you and you can't escape from them if you've got situations in your life where it seems like suicide is the only answer he said don't do that listen to what i'm crying if you thirst don't turn to the world don't turn to psychology don't don't don't turn to prozac and antidepressants and anti-anxiety and he said let me tell you what you do if you're thirsty come to me he said because this is what i'm going to do for you i'm going to give you rest and he that believeth on me now you you got to get this our our wonderful visitors here today say boy he's singling us out you better believe i am because i don't understand why anybody would not want the holy ghost and for the life of me when you have people that don't have the holy ghost i can't imagine anybody that has it not wanting to tell somebody how to get it because it is the most marvelous hey hey let me just take a preach break and tell you all these people that you've seen clapping and dancing and shouting and running and twirling and smiling they haven't lost their mind through the power of the holy ghost they found their right mind see what you don't realize is they look cute today but there's a lot of these young ladies dancing that they've been abused by wicked stepfathers there's a lot of these young men today that was singing out that they come out of drug addiction they come out of alcoholism they're straight up out of the ghetto but one day somebody told them about the holy ghost one day somebody told them she had always been jumping up and down in an aisle there was a day she didn't have no hope but somebody told her if you're thirsty and you own it [Applause] [Music] i'm gonna put it in you right now i'm with you but i'm gonna put it in you and out of your belly i shall flow rivers of living water they were a little bit confused that day uh they didn't have the understanding that we have this morning and they looked around what is he talking about and the writer just stops and said this speak he of the spirit which they that believed on him should receive for the holy ghost was not yet given so here one more time jesus is looking around and he's seeing the hurt and he's seeing the pain and he's seeing the depression and he's seeing the fear and he's seeing the frustration and he sees a world that's in chaos america in 2020 is not the first country to be turned upside down nero's burning rome they're getting ready to crucify anybody that has faith and jesus looks out over all that and he says i got the answer boys and if you own it you can have it if you own it you can have it it won't just be with you but i'll give it to you and it shall dwell in you [Applause] and if you want it today and not i can't imagine anybody not wanting it if you're here today and just with what you've felt and seen and experienced in this poor pitiful word that you've had to endure in here if you don't want it by now just hang on just another minute because before you leave here you're gonna want it if you don't already want it but you know what else i'm happy to tell you if you want it and you've been wanting it since you walked in here and felt it you don't have to wait for me to stop preaching uh you don't have to wait for the singers and musicians to come back up here and start singing uh i'm gonna tell you right where you're sitting you can lift your hands because it's a promise to you y'all sit down i'm just talking but i feel like preaching i i'm gonna give you just a couple more reasons why if you don't want it yet you should want it can i do that i said i wasn't gonna be long today i didn't mean to intentionally lie course i've heard brother williams preach are you still not i'm going to tell you why if you don't have the holy ghost and you don't want it yet you should want it because the holy ghost brings life and restoration [Applause] well one of the most famous passages of scriptures and all the holy red is ezekiel the 37th chapter and you know the story that god calls elisha up and ezekiel up and begins to give him a vision and he shows him a vision not just of israel in that day but some of you here today and it was a valley that was full of dry bones they were dismembered they were disconnected it didn't look like that there was any hope of him and matter of fact god asks ezekiel he says can these bones live and if you think we're the first preachers to try to walk the fine line and be politically correct you need to meet brother ezekiel he looks at that and he knows how he should answer or how he wants to answer see let me tell you i'm not preaching today because of a personality i'm not preaching today because i think your situation has hope from a standpoint of man because brother williams i've had a lot of people show up at our church that when i looked at them and god asked me do you think these people can have help i can only answer the way ezekiel answered uh only you know in other words uh if it's gonna happen it's gonna take more than what i've got see you're finally at a place that'll be truthful with you you are in a mess huh you are in a bad situation according to the world you are without help and everybody else will tell you i i can help you come here i can help you go there i can help you do this i can help you by that and they lie and they lie and they lie i can help you vote this i can help you vote that i can help you do this i'm the answer do that and they lie and they lie and they lie but let me tell you today i straight faced and with honesty i can't help you but there's a god there's a god he's bigger than me and he's bigger than you he's bigger than your addiction he's bigger than your divorce he's bigger than your abuse he's bigger than your alcoholism he's bigger than your drug addiction he's bigger than the pornography that has you bound he's bigger than your insecurities he's bigger than your depression he's bigger than your fear he's bigger than anything that can come against you and if you can get him if god before you i can't help you but through god you can become more than a conqueror [Applause] he stops ezekiel and he says oh yeah let me show you how they're gonna live you preach to them it still takes preaching not entertaining it takes preaching you can google td jakes and be entertained but you need to come to the rock church of fort myers and let a man of god not impress you but just preach to you for those of you who don't understand the preaching part of the service let me help you get some revelation and let me also help give you some understanding why we don't try to tie it in a pretty box and give it to you in 20 minutes and walk away and try to convince ourselves we've done good because preaching that puts lives back together is not something that can be hurried it's something that has to be carried we we live in an adhd society yeah you want to pull through mcdonald's give your order throw your money in the window take your food and go you don't have an attention span more than about three minutes but if you want your life put back together faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god and how can they hear without a preacher a rock church it was preaching that put you back together don't you ever put a timer on your man of god it was preaching that brought you out it was preaching that picked you up it was preaching that brought encouragement into your life [Applause] see this this is the problem in 2020. there's a lot of preachers don't mind preaching brother williams but they want to preach what they want to preach and that's why people including some of you here today you've went to church all your life somewhere else yet never received help because he told ezekiel he said you can't just preach what you want to preach but you preach what thus saith the lord let me just let me just tell you i'll be honest with you today there's a big part of me i don't want to preach something so simple i don't want to preach something so elementary that a lot of these people can teach in a search for truth better than i can preach it from behind this pulpit but see when you're interested in seeing people helped you have to preach what god gives you to preach see and and usually when god gives a preacher something to preach it it it it makes you hurt before it makes you feel helped because see preaching and god's going to put life's back together here today just like he did in ezekiel 37 because it's life and restoration but preaching does not tell you that you can just get fixed it first tells you you've got to repent in other words real preacher will tell you you can be delivered from that addiction but firstly you've got to acknowledge that you don't have it together that alcoholism is running your life that pornography is tearing up your home that the drugs are ruining your finances see you can't get god and keep you you can't have both and so you gotta let a preacher tell you you gotta be set free from alcoholism you gotta be set free from drug addiction you can't be saved due to pornography you can't get right with god trying to do it the way of the world and ezekiel said i wasn't real sure about it but i got to preaching what god gave me and i looked around and i noticed that bones were coming together see religion and politics tears people apart but the word of god puts them back together [Applause] and he said as i preached bones were connected and they started taking shape of normal things again and then muscles and sinews started being added onto them bones and then and then skin come over that muscle stuff and he said i looked around and i thought this preaching up is really something that's powerful but then he says even though i kept preaching there was a point that i couldn't get him any better that's why you got to have the holy ghost because i don't care who your preacher is there's only so much he can do and ezekiel goes back to god and he said you didn't just ask me could these be put back together you asked me can these bones live and he said i preached and it looks better but my preaching is still not enough and god speaks back to him it's okay zeke you were just part of the plan you and all the plan he said this is what you're going to do now you're going to quit preaching to the bones and you're going to start praying to the spirit and the bible says that is ezekiel begin to pray i see you got to let me preach but if you really want help when this is over i you got to come up here and pray because when ezekiel got to pray and i all of a sudden people started standing up and the bible said they didn't just stand up but they became an exceeding uh great army i i come to tell somebody your failure is not final uh your failure the mess you're in today it's not the end of things if somehow you can get the courage to pray until you get the holy ghost god will raise you up it's life jesus said the thief come to steal to kill and destroy but i've come that you might have life so everybody shout the holy ghost gives life let me tell you what the holy ghost also does it gives you power to overcome life [Applause] see you're just at a place where preachers are honest and i'm not saying guess where you're from they may be dishonest i'm just telling you about us i can't say anything about them but this is a misconception that a lot of people get that i don't want you to leave here with today the holy ghost doesn't exempt you from life it just gives you the power to live overcoming in life see [Applause] girl how long have you had the holy ghost five years isn't this awesome turn around where they can see you what a godly beautiful young lady did you have trouble when you come to church was your life a wreck when you come to church did you feel pretty hopeless when you come to church you did let me ask you this now that you've had the holy ghost five years hadn't it been wonderful not having any trouble i mean since you've had the holy ghost hadn't you always had enough money to just do everything you want to do and buy anything now that you've had the holy ghost does that mean nobody's tried to do anything wrong to you no nobody's tried to take advantage of you and nobody's tried to discourage you and nobody's made fun of you and i know this since you've had the holy ghost you've never been discriminated against i told you the preacher has to kind of tell every culture in this house today the holy ghost doesn't exempt you from discrimination [Applause] but it'll give you the power to overcome discrimination [Applause] i'm gonna tell you the holy ghost really wants to help somebody here today let me tell you there's only one color in the church and that's red the color of the blood well let me tell you when you're full of the holy ghost that don't mean there ain't gonna be people say negative derogatory things but see when you get the holy ghost instead of going out on saturday night tearing things up in rage you come to midnight prayer meeting and you say god help them experience what i've experienced because this is the real answer see the holy ghost doesn't exempt you from life but it gives you the power to live an overcoming life and jesus declared that in acts one and eight he said you shall receive power you shall receive power you shall receive power after that the holy ghost does come upon you and the power it's gonna make you a witness huh it's gonna help you when you get through dancing on sunday morning i go back out to the neighborhood and get somebody else and say if you want it you can have it if you own it you can have it if you own it you can have it if you own it i can tell you how to get peace i can tell you how to get you [Music] see we're in wars that we can't win on our own racism is as old as humanity let me tell you something about racism it's going to be here till jesus comes back and you don't have the ability to break it in the world but god will give you the power to break it in your world [Applause] [Music] see the holy ghost doesn't exempt you from life because in revelation we read things like these are they which overcome means they didn't get to quit duking it out they just got on the winning team and see we're dealing with unwinnable wars in our world on our own but i could take you to the book of judges and i could read you things like and the spirit of god came over gideon and the spirit of god came over samson and the spirit of god came over deborah i could take you to samuel and read to you where the spirit of god came over david i i could take you to the kings and show you where the spirit of god came over elisha and elijah you know what it's telling us i'm not going to exempt you from the world but with my spirit i'll help you live a life victorious in the world [Music] lastly to all of the good saints of the rock church that have been battling all week anybody been in a battle in this house today let me see your hands look around let me see your hands look around look around them people you don't see raising their hands they probably lied about something else today too this is a war but this is what isaiah said one of my favorite passages of scriptures to a weary warrior in this house today [Music] for with stammering lips and another tongue i feel the holy ghost right now i'm telling you god wants to help a weary warrior this morning god wants to help a saint of the rock church that you've got on your smile and you've even done a little dance but you limped in here today and you thought the holy ghost was going to deliver you but last night you had to watch a dad hit your mom and you and you just you stumbled and staggered in here today you've been battling suicide and depression and fear and you thought to yourself it's not supposed to be like this and the devil's told you yeah it's going to stay like this let me tell you where he warrior if you can just get in the holy ghost today full with stammering lips and another tug will he speak to his people saying saying saying saying this is the rest and this is the refresher the holy ghost is getting ready to fall in this house like rain it's getting ready to set upon believers like fire i know not to plow in a wet field and i'm not being a hindrance i i wouldn't even put anybody on the spot but i just feel impressed dude is there anybody here today without the holy ghost that you want the holy ghost anybody i know there is you don't have to come to this front you just need to or if you want to come to this front you come on you're at a loving place come on if you want the holy ghost look at these coming you don't have to be ashamed come on up here no no no no no oh you want the holy ghost if you've never had the holy ghost i want you to come because god's actually give it to everybody that comes up here i brought you up here because i wanted to just momentarily speak to you because i told you that god's going to give it to you but you have to understand the bible says you have to believe on him as the scripture [Music] says come on there's still more coming you don't have to be intimidated rock churches you see these coming i want you to just get get gathering around them because we're fixing to pray and let me tell you weary warriors you need to find somebody that needs the holy ghost to pray with because as they're getting it you're gonna get renewed in it peter had the keys to the kingdom jesus in acts in matthew 16 gave peter the keys of the kingdom in acts 2 the holy ghost fell for the very first time and it's so astounded the multitude that before they asked what does what must we do they asked what does this mean peter gets up and starts preaching and just let me tell you i know you're in the exact same place those of you that come to this front or you wouldn't come to this front as peter preached the bible says they were pricked in their hearts which means something started stirring up in them that says this is what i've been looking for and i want it if i could just find somebody to tell me how to get it and so they go to peter the man with the keys who is with the rest of the apostles and for the very first time the question is asked what i have to do to get it and that's why i stopped you today because i want you to get it but you have to get it the way they got it if you want it to do for you what it did for them and peter said [Music] it's simple i'm gonna make it so easy that even a child can understand who i'm going to tell you religion has messed up doctrine not jesus [Music] i feel such an anointing right now i'm telling you the holy ghost is getting ready to help somebody you you can't even imagine what you're getting ready to walk out of here with the peace and the joy and the understanding another young lady with a beautiful testimony with goodness and grace to god you can't even imagine how god's fixed to turn your life around and make you want to live instead of doing what you did last night praying that you could die god's fixed to turn it around for you peter said it's this easy you just got to repent [Music] that's not telling god simply i'm sorry but that's acknowledging that i can't overcome any other way i've got to have your help school can't help me overcome more money can't help me overcome a better job can't bring me deliverance a higher education can't do me any good a bigger house a nicer car gucci paratha fancy clothes i can't put it back together and so today i'm gonna quit trying to do it my own self and i'm gonna give my life to you that's repentance [Music] and here in just a minute we're gonna repent together we can't repent one for each another but everybody here today needs to repent and then when you get through repenting if you're here today and you have not been baptized in the name of jesus christ for the remission of your sins which is the only way sin can be remitted brother williams who do we have that they can see when they get through repenting there's gonna be ministers right up here at this front when you get through repenting if you've never been baptized in jesus name repentance gets you forgiveness for your sins and you're gonna feel better just getting forgiven but that big monkey's gonna still be on your back but what baptism in jesus name does it doesn't just get you forgiveness for the monkey on your back it leaves the monkey in the water and you come out being he that the sun is set free is free indeed [Music] and this is what i love about jesus brother williams you may have messed up your name and can't get credit with the bank but i've watched god give a lot of people credit at the altar because see he said repent and be baptized and then you're going to get the holy ghost you shall receive the holy ghost but i'm going to tell you when i believe that there's some of you haven't been baptized yet but because you've got a made-up mind that before this service is over you're going to get baptized when you lift your hands and start repenting and asking god to come on the inside of you god's going to give you the holy ghost on credit knowing that when you get through talking in tongues you're going to let somebody take you to the water and put you down in jesus name [Music] we're not just going to tell god we're sorry but everybody in this house right now is going to lift their hands and we're going to pray until a spirit of repentance begins to settle in this house come on i want you to just talk to god in your own way i want you to just you you don't have to have a learned prayer you just talk to god like you would talk to somebody that you're pleading to help you uh god i need your help god i can't do it by myself god i can't do it on my own god i'm frustrated i'm tired of trying but if you'll help me i'll do for you come on come on come on prayer warriors repent come on first time guest repent the holy ghost is getting ready to flow like water in this house huh come on i want to tell some of you young ladies and some of you young men that's repenting uh those tears that are coming down your cheeks is natural it's normal it's a sign of repentance and somewhere in that repentance you're gonna start speaking in a tongue that you can't understand don't you be afraid of it it's the holy ghost i've been preaching about times for if you own it you can have it you [Applause] is [Music] is [Applause] [Music] if i take what the world has all have to come again again and again [Music] but with one drink of your living one i'll never thirst again i'll [Music] [Music] you can satisfy my [Music] my heart [Music] jesus jesus pray with me [Music] is if i take what the world has off i have to come again again and again [Music] never thirst again

somebody by the hand if you're around this front come on i want you to take somebody by the hand i want you to lift that hand towards heaven come on just simple obedience right now i want you to take them by the hand and i want you to lift that hand towards heaven now if you want the holy ghost i want you to throw your head back in a position of victory and i want you to open your mouth and i want you to begin to holler out to god as loud as you can and as you begin to holler out to god the holy ghost is going to flow through you come out if you want it you can have it but you need to lift your voice up so that the holy ghost can pray through you up receive you the holy ghost receive you the holy ghost don't do it again [Applause] [Music] so i will transfer so i will draw from you [Music]
