"Altar Workers Seminar" - David Smith

I'm in loves you pasture mommy loves you pastor's wife in the leadership of this church how many's excited that you're in the house of the Lord tonight you know what I know I'm teaching tonight but I feel an anointing power of the Holy Ghost in this place I can feel the power of a mighty king in this house anything can happen look at your neighbor and say anything can happen miracles can happen tonight signs and wonders can happen tonight you will see the Holy Ghost tonight you can be baptized in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ tonight anything is possible when you're in the presence of the master and I'm excited about getting to be here my wife told me today she said the baby remember brother was smart she said don't let you true colors come out I said baby school wasn't my best subject I said I only went for lunch and PE and I said now pass bow for them my god what I'm working yes for now I like to cut up so if you're easily offended we'll see you Sunday all right I'm just being honest okay and that's just the way I am somebody told me that some people bring me in only for comic relief I said it don't matter to me as long as I get paid I don't care baby I told him I'm not preaching for money and I ain't preaching without it so there you go that's right that's the way we're gonna do things around here so now listen I want you just to let you guard down I wanna I want to teach tonight I didn't get it out of a book I didn't I didn't steal it from somebody and I don't know everything about people getting the Holy Ghost I have seen hundreds of thousands get the Holy Ghost but I don't know everything about it I remember when I was working a full-time job and my pastor told me to quit your job sell your house sell all your toys and go evangelize and I said and and where will I go and he said well I don't know I said well okay I'll do that cuz you're the bishop but I just need to let you know if it don't work out I'm moving in with you and that's the way I started and I quit my job that following day I sold my put my house on the market on Tuesday it sold on Wednesday I flew to Lake Charles on Thursday bought a house on Friday flew back on Saturday preached Sunday was sitting in Lake Charles on Monday with no place to preach I said what an evangelist world here Wednesday come around my wife said were you preach to us and I don't know nobody called so I called Papa brother you and I said Papa do I pick up the phone he said boy have you ever heard of God I said I have he said you just sit there until somebody calls you and I'm like okay and they did but in when they call I'm like oh yeah it's on now so I told him I had to call you right back cuz I didn't know what to do so I called Papa and I say can I go there and he said you can go my first weekend out I had 47 received the gift of the Holy Ghost we had 29 baptized in Jesus name and I've preached in that church over 300 times now that's so that was my little start so there we go so I don't know everything about people getting the Holy Ghost but I do feel like God has given me some tools that would help us okay and if I teach anything okay that that's not agreeing with the leadership Monday when I leave you go back to what you were doing but from now to Sunday I got the mic that's right unless they pull my coattail in the mic so alright you got me I'm submitted to the men of God whatever they say that's what I'm gonna do all right but I'm gonna teach some principles okay and we're gonna have fun are you good bumpy neighbors say we've looked at him long enough he's okay that's why I've been talking so long so y'all could check me out that's right all right y'all good all right sit down we're gonna have fun all right so here we go probably one of the most important tools probably one of the most important tools you know you're gonna need in the altar is some of this right here it's called breast spring I am telling you it's important now you might not like this kind just get the kind you like cuz here's some things that you eat when you praying for people and they're doing like this and you're thinking it's the Holy Ghost it's not the Holy Ghost it's your stinky breath it's not the Holy Ghost your breath stinks okay rule number two if you do have some of this and you're praying for somebody and their breath is stinking do not squirt this in their mouth you mister mouth hit him in the eye now they don't want the Holy Ghost they need a miracle cuz you blinded them okay now there you go I told you we're gonna have fun now if you don't like this kind get the kind of you like if you can't afford it see brother Wilbur do you buy you some I promise you and don't chew gum now squirt this don't be chewing gum if you chewing gum spit it out there you go that's a merlot you and move right there so here we go first things first all right we're gonna go here we go first things first people come to the altar for several reasons all right people come to the altar for several reasons here's the deal don't ever assume you know why someone has come to the altar okay like when we come to the altar church family we'll just come up people to just start praying for you and it's beautiful but the problem is is that if they don't know what they're praying for you're just kind of wasting your breath okay you got to be specific am i right if your back's hurting you don't just come up to the front and start saying I got I need you to touch my headache you know cuz it ain't a head hurting it's your back hurting do you understand so when people come to the front we think first of all that it's got to be certain way or a certain thing listen to me if people respond and they've made a move to God then we need to find out now I'm talking to church family all right we need to find out why they're in the altar so what you need to do is you need to ask them all right I always like to find out their name now I know brother and sister and I know that's that's our tradition and all that but I'm talking about the world coming into the house of the Lord that's not used to us hugging one another that's down south we do that and not used to all the brother and sisters so if someone comes down front I just stick my hand out say hey my name is David hey my name is John hey John how you doing I Sene you've come down here what is it that you would like the Lord to do for you well I need dot dot you know what I say that's awesome me too cuz you know why I need stuff from God every day I need the Holy Ghost I need God's favor on me I need miracles every day I need I need God to bless me so the deal is people come to the altar for several reasons so you need to ask the first step to somebody receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost as they got to believe all right they're gonna have to believe it doesn't matter how spiritual you are don't matter how many tongues you can talk in don't matter what you do I am Telling You that person has to believe that God is going to be able to do what we've been preaching that he would do they're gonna have to believe that God is real they're gonna have to believe that the Holy Ghost is real and they're gonna have to believe that they're able to receive and you say well David how they gonna know God is real if we present the house of the Lord the way we supposed to they gonna understand there's something in that house that's not at my house if we worship the way we supposed to worship they're gonna begin to feel the power and the presence of a mighty king and they're gonna understand there's something in that house and I don't know what it is but I want it I know you can't always go by feel because feels only seven times in the Word of God and knowing is seven hundred and seventeen times in the Word of God but the bottom line is people come in from the world they're gonna feel something when they come to an Apostolic environment I've never had somebody come to an Apostolic Church and leave saying I didn't feel nothing even on Wednesday what hardly nobody shows up he's the same God he's the same God on Wednesday all right so here we go for somebody to receive the Holy Ghost I will say it again it must be their faith that responds to God so you say so what's my part okay here's our report your part in this altar is to become an instructor now again here we go this is for the family are you ready what you got to do is is that you got to make sure that everything between you and him is how it's supposed to be if you're gonna be helping in the altar you got to make sure your spirits right because if your spirit ain't right then you can impart your spirit to their spirit and now we got two demons instead of one see what you got to do is you got to go to the prayer room and you got to talk to God and you got to make sure that all is well between you and him for when you begin to pray all you are is a conduit between him and them they're just a vessel that's what you get for being on the altar team that's what you get for being in ministry you get prayed for last see because your job in the altar is to be an instructor okay you got to talk to people on how and why to repent now this weekend we might do things a little different because I'm a big I'm a big advocate of repenting and I'm I'm a big advocate of leading people through repentance because here is why it's a great need the only way someone can ever receive the gift of the Holy Ghost is they've got to repent see signs and wonders and miracles have nothing to do with salvation you can pray for that and that will happen because signs wonders and miracles only have anything to do with faith and belief it has nothing to do with repentance or salvation but the only way people can be saved is through repentance speaking with other tongues and being baptized in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ all right so you got to talk to people in this altar I'm not here you're here you're lined up across the front pastors preach and they come down and all right and so you got to lead people in the prayer of repentance all right you got to talk to people on how and why to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost so I've said again you have to lead people in the prayer of repentance if I said right now hey everybody let's all just repent we'll quit we could all repent because here's why we are professional repenters and I'll tell you why because we know that if we do wrong and we don't repent and get it right if we hear the truck blows you're lost Apostolic sir are true tennis you need to repent every day because you sin every day you might not think you do but you do that's what you get for thank you when you ain't used to it I'm just telling you you do nobody's perfect here okay something goes on every day you guys are a lord I'm sorry about that I apologize you forgive me alright so the deal is you got to lead people in the prayer of repentance you got to stop people from begging God nowhere in the Word of God can you find out that you have to beg for somebody to receive the Holy Ghost when you're working in the altar you got to speak in faith is it mostly family here tonight I'm okay here's the deal if your sad-sack do not come help in the altar if you approved don't come help in the altar if you're the kind that says you'll probably get it but for years stay away go do something different okay go mow the grass or something don't come to the altar okay if you're negative just stay away do something else because in the altar you got to have faith in the altar you got to believe that when you lay your hands because you are a vessel of God and a conduit that something's going to happen when you speak the word you got to believe that that's going to happen all right so stop them from begging God always speaking faith when I'm praying with people I always say you know we're gonna do this I make it a we /us thing because I don't want that person to think that I am better than them God's gonna bless us he's gonna do things in our life God's gonna do things for us and the reason I do that is because I want that person in the altar to feel comfortable about what God is about to do so you say well that's good David so what do I do when I'm down here number one you're an instructor and here's what you got to do you got to lead people and the prayer repentance start off with Lord forgive us people say well what else here's the deal God forgive me of everything that I've thought everything that I've said everything that I've on everything that I've heard I even asked the Lord to forgive me of things that I don't even realize I've done here's why I cut up a lot I could probably offend somebody and not even knowing it driving in Oklahoma I'll be cutting somebody off they so mad they're calling me dirty names I didn't know that I was just driving along so I'm asking God to forgive me of things I don't even realize I've done see we know how to repent but the world doesn't understand repentance you got to lead people in the prayer of repentance God forgive me of everything I've thought everything I've said everything I've done everything I've heard God forgive me of things I don't even realize I've done I tell the Lord I'm giving myself 100% to you will you say why is that because here's why God is not gonna feel 1/2 vessel now I know what people say well I had in fact I'll just give you for instance I got a lot of four instances but I'll just give you one I prayed for a guy in a little city somewhere north south east west to here and we prayed for him and things were going pretty well and he gets the Holy Ghost well he's the town drunk he probably owed everybody in the church at least a dollar okay it's a small town they all knew him so when he gets the Holy Ghost here they come here comes a gentleman he go imma tear on that they said I know that's a railroad job one in railroad jobs I'm like what do you mean a railroad job he said that old boys a drunk I said yeah he's old boys smokes everybody said yeah he said in y'all saying he got the Holy Ghost and and and I said yeah so you know I tried to weed off from that and get away so we're outside and here's my man who just got the Holy Ghost pulls out a pack of cigarettes then camels with no filter 20 in a pack and he whips one out and he and he goes to light him up and I I wasn't always serving Jesus and I and I said hey I smoked them one time he said oh you want one preacher I said no sir I'm trying to quit didn't wanna fin the old boy said I'm trying to quit so he sat there and smoked one and then he started telling me how good the Holy Ghost was but I won't tell you what he said but trust me it was funny and then he wanted to know did I want another one and I said no sir like I said I'm trying to quit well when he walked off here come the same guy I knew he was just prowling around here's what he said say there he just a smoke and he said if he got the Holy Ghost I got he wouldn't have been smoking I said well what's wrong with your tongue I said him smoking that no difference in you wagging your tongue what's the difference he said what do you think I ought to do I said advise you I'd go back there and repent I said if Jesus comes he's gonna go to heaven I said if Jesus comes you're gonna go to hell cuz I know you won't repent because your mouth I was younger then I wouldn't say that now I'd use a better word but anyway that's not what you need to do listen to me you got to give yourself a hundred percent to God before he'll fill you up that doesn't mean you change that means at that present moment you are willing to do whatever it takes for Jesus to move inside it doesn't make you perfect the Holy Ghost don't make you perfect you know that baptism doesn't make you perfect just gives you an advocate with the father am i right all right so the deal is I tell them I give myself 100% to you all right then when they do that I tell them hey God has just forgiven us of everything when you truly repent God forgives when you truly ask God to forgive you he does that there's no one forgivable sin for a sinner I had a guy tell me where that ain't true I said well what do you mean he got me in front of about 300 peoples head tack and so I was just gonna honor the elder and we're gonna say nothing I said okay elder and his boys to them said I answered that question I said well he said I answered a question I'm like well I said again sir he's over you were wrong about that he said what about blaspheming I said sinners can't blaspheme because they don't know Jesus and the resurrection of his power I said I'm own people I know can blast famous warning his people apostolic people Holy Ghost filled Jesus name baptism that had happened then they say net and I ain't real sinners that's why they concussed the Lord and get away with it we think something bad in our transmission goes out they they can do all of them Han languages and get away with it we just we just laugh about we have a flat tire God said I play with you people and put too much in you so for the world okay he can forgive for the world the problem is as most people can't forgive themselves so in the altar you got to make sure that you repent because no one there's three reasons people don't get the Holy Ghost I don't put it my seminar but I'll just tell you either they don't want it or they don't know what it is or they truly hadn't repented that's the only three reasons I was preaching brother Aaron bounce he had a gentleman and his church he's gone on with the Lord now he was 73 at that time he said David I want you to go down they said the guy's been in church 40-something years never got the Holy Ghost he said you can't offend him you can't run him off get down there and find out what's wrong so I went down to mr. all said don't let me ask you a question do you want the Holy Ghost he said yep I said do you know what the Holy Ghost is he said I've been here 40 I think he said 43 or 47 years and I'm like wow okay I said so you've probably heard the Holy Ghost a time or two he said yeah and I said well then the bottom line you got unforgiveness in your heart he said I sure do I said well awesome we're gonna take care of that real quick I said what's wrong he said it's him a neighbor said I can't stand he said the guy put up a fence he said I'm telling you I can't see down the road he said I'm telling you right now I can't stand him I said what you gonna do Ernst you're gonna go home and you're gonna ask your neighbor to forgive you he said well he don't know I'm mad at him I said he don't know but Jesus knows I said you got unforgiveness in your heart I said I want you to go home I said no you said you like me I do so you go home and you ask that man to forgive you tell him why you're upset ask him to forgive you and you come back tonight and get the Holy Ghost you hear me he said well yeah I guess so so where you go now so he leaves Church you can call brother Bell he'll tell you comes back that night before service walks right down and says hey I went and did what you did wasn't did what you told me to do he said he didn't even know I was mad I said yeah you already said that he said he's gonna cut that fence like that where I can see on down the road I said look at that he said and he forgave me I said good I said you ready for the Holy Ghost he said I am I said well let's repent we started repenting while he started repenting Ernest started speaking with other tongues as a spirit of the Lord I'm telling you now if you'll repent you'll get the Holy Ghost so here we go so when you ask the Lord to forgive you now you were ready to receive the Holy Ghost so here we go receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost I'm gonna go against the traditions okay you don't have to be all hyped up to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to be playing Batman music to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to cut the lights off and get the smoke rollin to get the Holy Ghost are you doing there's reimaging God okay what you do got a habit you got to have a willing heart and an empty vessel saying hey God if you want to feel something feel this all right here we go we're gonna go against tradition you don't have to shake people to get the Holy Ghost you got me you know had you don't have to say come you don't have to grab them go first like for them to see y'all laughing y'all ready know them people you don't have to do that for people to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to be rubbing people I mean there's been times a certain church I thought man I'm gonna go down there and get the Holy Ghost myself maybe they're getting a free back rub a little over here baby a little over I've been in churches where they put them in circles with him little white gloves on and they push them back and forth and somebody screaming hold on so I deal with screaming come on somebody else's screaming let go they don't know whether to hold on - come on - let go they don't know if they're fixin to be offered up for sacrifice they don't know if the snakes are coming out I am Telling You we got some crazy people I was in church and they had a granny had her grandson down there which I didn't know it was her grandson she was plucking him in the forehead the pastor said what's going on us that I don't know it's your crazy Saint not mine I'm just preaching he said get in and find out I said granny what's happening she said he is so stubborn Heaney I said lady he's gonna get a headache you know what the Holy Ghost in his talent all ain't against medicine I said just stop I looked at the little fellow I said hey bud I see granny's got you down here he's I mean he's looking he's little eyes across and she doesn't plucked him so much that's exaggerating but anyway fine whatever so okay I did in faith so anyway I said do you want the Holy Ghost he said no I said good go sit down he said thanks so everyone sit down granny I mean she literally looked at me said what in the name of God are you doing I said I'm causing him where you don't get a concussion that's what I'm doing so I go to the pastor he said did he want to go sister you don't want after service he come to me you know he said hey preacher I'm like what he said thanks man he said she's nuts I'm like yeah I said well by the way how'd you like church he said man I really liked it he said I could feel all kind of stuff I said well did you you know since now we got her off of him we got all crazy out there I said what do you think about the Holy Ghost he said I think it'd be cool I said me too I said you you ever had HTP said huh I said you ever had HC piece and now I'm think so he said what is that I said Holy Ghost power I said man when you get HTP I said that stuff works he's like really I'm like yeah I said you want to try son he said I thought I think I do what's that good so we got to repent she never even had him repent you just plucking him in the head saying Jesus huh I mean I imagine she's plugging going Jesus he's going with huh what a little feller so we got to repent when we got done repenting I laid hands on him he got to speaking in tongues here come crazy I'm like stay away lady you gonna kill the spirit no just let him get it on his own what I'm saying is is that let's don't shake people don't scream at people if you don't adult holler at people don't don't sneak attack people you know like when they're praying and you come up behind them you're all excited you think it's the Holy Ghost it's not the Holy Ghost you just scared too far out of anybody ever been scared come on be honest huh all right thank you there you go anybody ever got shook on before anybody ever got shaken yeah look at Yongxin uh y'all got a bunch of shakers in here here you go so don't do that because the world don't understand that I was preaching from brother Houston a guy brought it he brought in his whole family he told me they were coming the whole service he kept doing like that and I'm also go down in here I said sir I see your family chill out if they won't it they'll get it if they don't want it no big deal so when service gets toward to him I go down there it's his wife his three sons his brother-in-law sister-in-law father-in-law mother-in-law I'm praying mom gets it the boys get it the brother-in-law and sister-in-law and the mother-in-law I got ready to pray for dad I said dad I'm gonna lay hands on you he said I'm gonna knock you out I said I just changed my mind where I come from we both fight I know the Bible says you turn the other cheek after you don't know you do I'm sorry I'm just being honest and where I come from we still fight but I'm not having a long time but uh I'm kidding he said I'm gonna knock you out and I'm said I'm I said I'm sorry sir I said well do you along totally she said I do but I don't want nobody putting nothing on me I want the real thing I'm like okay no problem I said are you ready he said I'm ready I said in the name of Jesus Christ receive the gift of the Holy Ghost my man went out talking in tongues I'm like oh yeah I said I even have to blow only I didn't have to rub no Jesus juice only for $25 my man went out he got up and grabbed me so I'm standing there like and I said sir sir what are you doing he said I'm hugging you I said well I thought you said don't don't touch me he said you ain't touching me I'm touching you I'm like okay I said just don't hit me said I'm not I'm not I'm sorry I'm not so the deal is when the world comes you don't know where they been we don't know what's happened we don't know what's been going on all right so you got to be aware of what's happening in your surroundings all right when you pray with somebody do me a favor don't have a fit control yourself don't take all shouting you might miss the moment don't take off doing the war of cross-burning you might scare the fire out of when you praying for somebody keep your eyes open that's Bible watch and thank you in the word keep your eyes open because here's why the person you're praying for might not talk in tongues to the cows come home the person you're praying for might not speak a hundred thousand words how many words do you have to speak before you have the Holy Ghost anybody know it ain't a trick question how many words do you have to speak before you have the Holy Ghost there's no such thing as the big holy ghost did Junior Holy Ghost and the baby holy ghost there's one Holy Ghost when my mom got the Holy Ghost that's where I got this from not from the Bible I got it from my mama and my mama's right when she got the Holy Ghost she came from the bus kids she got the Holy Ghost when she was nine she said David when the Holy Ghost hit me I remember speaking one word and she said I knew oh my god I just got the Holy Ghost she said I instantly felt changed you said oh well I'll help you here have you ever met anybody that forgot when they got the Holy Ghost no I met people that don't know how they were baptized I met people that parked their car out in the parking lot and forgot where they parked the car I mean I met people that lost a car at the Walmart of the target but I've never met somebody that says well I forgot when I receive the Holy Ghost think about you know when you get the Holy Ghost am i advocating just one word no what I'm telling you is though keep your eyes open because I hear people preach all the time well when you're having a red hot service you've got the devil on the run I do real I really don't believe that here's my deal when you're having a red hot services I'm just thinking that all snakes are drawn to the heat that's what I believe when you're having a red hot service all forces of evil comes to the house of God because he don't want us changed and he don't want the people that you're praying for changed you know what I'm saying about some of you want to shout some time and you won't because you're worried about your neighbor some of you want to give out that tongue interpretation you won't do it because you worried about what somebody else is gonna think so if you think the devil will work on you and you're supposed to be saved what do you think he's doing for the person that's never had it you think he's just sitting back going good job get a little bit more of that that's awesome I'm proud of you know when people are praying the enemy is upset okay so here we go when you're praying with somebody be sensitive watch their face when you're praying with somebody speak in faith what you need to do is take control and shield them from other people that are not as sensitive in the altar as their altar team okay because here's why everybody does everything different but I promise you nobody wants to be jerked on nobody wants to be grabbed on nobody wants to be pooled on nobody wants to be shaped on and rubbed off they just I'm telling you they just they don't want hi so here we go so when that so I'll say it again be sensitive when you're in the altar keep your eyes open when you're in the altar okay when you're fixing to pray for somebody tell them you're gonna pray for them you say why because some people don't want people to put their hands on and you don't have to put your hands on someone for them to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost I know it's a point of reference but you don't have to touch people and some people don't want to be touched so it's okay it's not rebellion it's just their nature just like some people like Coke and some don't some people love coffee and some don't alright okay so here's the deal I tell people you're about to receive the Holy Ghost you say why are you doing that because the Holy Ghost lives in me I'm speaking in faith what's about to happen I ask them or I tell them I'm gonna lay hands on you is that okay yes or no now I know how Alou use the highest praise I know Jesus is the most beautiful name but I ask people to just say this thank you Lord for the Holy Ghost here's why number one you're speaking in faith for something that's about to happen they're thanking him in advance for something that is about to happen I tell people you're gonna hear that language before you speak it now some people get a little weirded out about that but God is the creator the body the soul and the mind everybody that has the Holy Ghost and you speak in tongues frequently you can just move into that room because you understand that rim but I'm talking about new people that's never had it after about I used to keep this book and make people sign her name cuz I was so worried that I was gonna get blasted now don't care I mean I care but you know I'm not gonna worry about it and I've had thousands thousands of people say I don't know what that was I said could you hear it before you spoke it you'll hear it before you speak it if you don't hear you won't speak it I'm talking about people that's never had the gift of the Holy Ghost well it got quiet so it's gonna come to you well and I tell them what you hear is what you speak then I tell people I give you permission I give you permission you say who is that we have spiritual authority you have spiritual authority your Holy Ghost filled your baptized in Jesus name you have spiritual authority over the enemy you possess that you don't have to be a preacher you don't have to be a leader you possess that in your being all right here we go when people are receiving the Holy Ghost my grandpa was here he'd fall out but I'm sorry I won't always tell him when I see him in heaven I'm gonna say Paul you was wrong about that but here we go when people are receiving the Holy Ghost while they're doing it you're not having an out-of-body experience you're not floating off okay when people are getting the Holy Ghost I just lean up while they're doing and say hey do you hear yourself speak in another language that you don't understand now where I'm from down south this means yes and this means no if it's the same here when they're doing that and they're like I say that is the evidence of the Holy Ghost if my grandpa was here they say don't you care when they get the Holy Ghost I said well Papa you used to tell them when they didn't get it you didn't get it you were right there if that is some send it on down one more time you probably would have got it I've heard my grandma say you get them cigarettes out to your pocket you gonna talk in tongues that ain't no Bible to that that's just so tradition you quit doing that you gonna get the whole that's just tradition all right so the deal is is when you're praying with somebody and they receive the Holy Ghost confirm with them say do you hear yourself speaking a language you don't understand they're doing like that I'm like that is the evidence of the Holy Ghost keep doing it now let me be negative if they don't receive it here we go number one be sensitive number two I stop them I stop people I don't pray a long time in the altar I stop people because people get tired of praying you know like when Pastor says let's all pray and we don't even pray 30 seconds you know talk about so you think about the world of donut huh and you not gonna stand there for 10 minutes I mean sunlight but the most so the deal is when I'm praying and they don't get the Holy Ghost I stop them and I ask him I say hey I can feel the power of the Lord do you feel the power of the Lord I don't put it on them first I put it on me first because when I'm praying I feel the power of the Lord am i right when you're praying you know God is in the midst you know he's there so I ask hey here's the deal I feel the power of the Lord do you feel him yeah have you heard any language that you don't understand I've had now I'm not exaggerating I've had thousands say this I can hear it but how do I get it out of my mouth how do I get it out the way you get it out he says come like a child just open your mouth and loose your tongue don't worry about what it sounds like just let whatever come out just let it come out because here's why people want to be in control of everything they do so you got to come with no I mean with no okay you got to say all right god I'm willing i've already repented I'm willing I tell them just let it go all right so when I do that I said what you hear in your mind you gotta let it come out of your mouth what you hear in your mind you gotta let it come out of your mouth and then what I do it again is I repent here's why do you know some people come to the altar out of emotion some come because the man of God said would everybody come to the front they just come some come because when the crowd starts to move they're thinking uh-huh ain't gonna leave me back here by myself so they just come up some come like at my home church mama used to take me by the ear twist her down and say you come to the front board it and you're gonna get the Holy Ghost for a thousand one time you're gonna get it again you got me so people come to the altar for all kind of reasons all right but here's the deal when they hear it or they don't hear it I repent again I was doing a crusade they asked me to come they'd already told me was gonna be a little rough and I didn't understand what rough meant until I got there and so we were there and then that service we repented and we had about 30 something get the Holy Ghost and you would have thought we had a million got it and then we stopped them I stopped everything and I said we're going to repent again and we had more get it and I stopped them and repented again and we had more getters well on number seven time one of the guys come up and said brother Smith why do we keep repenting I said cuz we need it I said because every time we've repented more people's got the Holy Ghost I said some come and so I just had a little Bible lesson I said some come out of emotion some come cause all the hype some come they didn't know why but since the spirit of God's movement see what's happened after seven times a repentant they'll tell you unless you talked to him first time people where 231 received a gift the Holy Ghost and one service because we repented repentance is the doorway to people receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost all right so I I'm what I'm saying is is if you're praying with somebody and they don't get it stop can you feel the power of the Lord yeah do you hear that in your mind yeah I hear what you hear let it come out or if I ask do you hear it in the mind and they go on I say let's repent again so we repent again I'll say it again three reasons they don't get it they don't want it they don't know what it is or there's truly not repentance okay here we go if they don't get the Holy Ghost nothing lost because we're not God I'm almost done don't don't pressure people don't try to place blame build their faith don't try to figure out what's wrong leave it to God here's why people that come you want them to leave here saying whew what a church Oh then people will love on you because here's why our worst service we've ever had in this building I'm talking the kind that you grab your head thinking oh my god Church was horrible today to the world it's the best service they've ever been in because we're people of the name I'm just telling you I'm just telling you I don't care what nobody says nobody has church like Apostolic Church we got a lot of people that have Pentecostal church but not many people have Apostolic Church so the deal is you want that person leaving here because here's what I do I've had people not get the Holy Ghost and here's what I'll say oh boy I feel better they say man I feel better cuz you want me to tell you why here's how most of the world receives the gift of the Holy Ghost are you ready Lord I accept you as my personal Savior my God in Christ come into my life that's how most people get the Holy Ghost a lot of my friends are in that room from when I was in school and back where I live and and my new thing would Amir's wait ain't new I've been doing it for years I'll say so you got the Holy Ghost huh yeah man boy wasn't like when we were in school you know I'm living for God I'm like whoa so you got the Holy Ghost yeah I said you spoke in tongues they go oh no huh I said oh well you just got the Holy part now you need to ghost I said so you accepted the Lord yeah I said well here's a question how do you know he accepted you well well I know I said well how do you know well well I know I said how do you know because I know I said how do you know and finally he said well how do you know I said I didn't think you'd ever ask I said cuz when I got it I did what the Bible said I spoke with other tongues as the Spirit of the Lord gave the utterance I said you got the Holy part now you need to ghost I said you ready he got the Holy Ghost in the Kroger parking lot grocery store I am Telling You everybody needs the Holy Ghost everybody needs the Holy Ghost so encouraged speaking faith remember you can't give anybody the Holy Ghost you got to have faith in God not in your faith and the people that come we want to make sure that everyone leaves okay we want to make sure that everyone leaves knowing that this church loves them now I'm gonna show you something can can I use you young man can I use you now remember you need the Holy Ghost okay so when I ask you you need to hold it goes I'm gonna show you how I do and then how we can ask some questions if you want if not then we'll do something but I'm gonna show you how it work do you got the Holy Ghost oh yes okay good cause if not I gonna let you get it okay it works I promise so he comes to the front never been here all right pastors been preaching everybody's down so here he he walks right in front of me so I just stick my hand out say hey my name is David what's your name hey Kent hey Kent I see you're down here tonight Kent what would you like God to do for you hey you know what can't man me too you know what Kent you and I are gonna talk to God is that okay we're gonna repent together is that okay yeah all right so here's what we're gonna do we're gonna ask God to forgive us and then when we're done we're gonna let him fill us with the Holy Spirit you okay with that all right let's let's talk to God okay say Lord I'm gonna show y'all something did I tell him to bow his head did he bowed his head I wonder why because I'm in charge because you're in charge your Holy Ghost field they're gonna do what you do oh they're gonna act like you act oh oh that's why I said you better make sure you're right before you pray for somebody because some nasty spirit joning it with another nasty spirit now you got to now you both need the Holy Ghost so you know what you ready can't say Lord forgive you notice he bowed his head again I didn't even tell him he bowed his head isn't that amazing all right here we go Lord forgive me of everything that I've thought that I've said that I've done and that I've heard forgive me Lord of things I don't even realize I have done I give myself 100% to you Lord then I look at him I said boy you know what can I feel different let me help you here hoo-wee when you truly repent you gonna feel the power of the Lord do you hear me when you when you were sincere and you know that you have a soul resting in your hands I promise you God's not gonna leave you in that time he might not go with you to the ball field but he ain't gonna leave you in the altar he ain't gonna leave that so you hear me he ain't gonna leave that so trust me so I don't put it on him cuz I cuz he ain't never been here he didn't worship he thought oh my god at any given moment them snakes are coming out because we were just rocking you know at any given moment somebody's going up for sacrifice he's new here remember never been here he's thinking oh my god it's true they're nuts yep they're nuts but but he but he will he was willing to stay and I'll say you know what hey can't I feel different how you feel he says man I feel good I said now can't we're ready to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit oh thank you can you sit down I say let's just start saying thank you Lord for the Holy Ghost and there's me and oh Ken thank you Lord for the Holy Ghost thank you lord he he's thanking God for something that he's never experienced he's building faith in himself see what you say is what you get that's what I tell people all the time that's where I never that's why I never used the words incredible and impossible and unbelievable because those words are negative what you say is what you get it's like people be tweeting we had incredible church today what you just said was is your church is not credible doesn't the Bible say out of your mouth that's why when I get up every morning I say I'm blessed and highly favored I'm a man of God my family's gonna be saved whoa Oh what she says what you gonna get you heard me what you says what's going to happen what you decree and declare that's what God's gonna do hing only good he can only do what you tell he you keep saying you're sick don't worry you'll get sick I'm telling you oh okay here we go it's okay y'all fan it's okay I'm having fun so I say all right we ready I said we ready and so I say start thanking the Lord for the Holy Ghost and while he's doing I said hey Kent I'm gonna say something different and here's what I say hey God hey God I'm standing here with Kent and he's about to get the Holy Ghost Jesus you're about to fill him with the Holy Ghost and when I lay my hands on him I said he's gonna be filled with your spirit he's gonna speak with other tongues while he's going thank you Lord for the Holy Ghost thank you Lord for the Holy Ghost I'll say hey can't kind of lay hands on you most of the time 99.99999% of time they shake their head I say here we go and I just gently put my hand I know you don't have to there's certain settings you can't get to everybody I know that but I'm talking about one-on-one I'm talking about you praying for somebody through now I'm talking about in the altar but this will work on your job see this will work at the Waffle House and Tim Hortons this will work at the grocery store so now I've had him get the Holy Ghost at the grocery store and fall out and they literally call security thinking something that didn't had a fit honest to god honest to god they they come down there they're like what's wrong I said they just kidding Holy Ghost they'll get up in a minute sorry Booya I had eight people get the Holy Ghost in Waffle House one night we locked the door I was with a man we locked the door he said what are you doing I said lock the door I told her I said lock the door said hgp is about to hop up in here and we all about to get to hold it go she said I ain't playing now they had one couple eaten in there so y'all can stare y'all can leave but you probably ain't gonna get no refills I said Co we bout to pray

say that's the Holy Ghost if I pray with Kent and he doesn't get it after just a few minutes I stop and say can't let me ask you something I feel the power of the Lord dude do you feel anything I've had thousands of people say yeah I feel it and I said can you can you hear some language now break it down Cajun style I say you sound like old jibber jabber it's just the language you don't speak

let's do it again so we pray again and they get it if I'm praying they don't hear they don't feel it I'll do what I repent again and then we repent and we pray if he don't get it I don't say well I hope whoo I hope you don't get in a wreck on the way home I hope you cart on down the train track oh my god it's your last chance I mean my god don't do that if you don't get it you know what I say

forgive you you feel different I say you know what Ken what we felt tonight you come on back with me here's my phone number you want to pray again we all come to your house I'll meet you or when you come on back remember God has more of this for us don't say you for us because I don't want him to feel like he done something wrong because while you're praying with people the enemy is not sitting back saying good job you're doing awesome try this know the enemy's going don't pray don't raise your hand whatever you do don't do that they're gonna thank you nuts ain't that how the enemy works ok just making sure all right so here we go I'm doing so anybody no such thing as a pastor said we could do this ain't no such thing as a dumb question no such thing as a crazy question if I don't have the answer I'll get over here we'll get an answer we'll make it up and that'll be the answer from then on that's how we work that that way we ain't never wrong there you go so now I'm talking about something you've experienced in the office or something you've experienced or you might have a question about and again this is just open alright I know it's a little dangerous but it's a little open we might not have no questions or we might have some questions alright alright anybody got a question about working in the altar yes ma'am okay okay yeah beautiful question I taught a Bible study which is absolutely phenomenal Bible studies are the best she said I taught a Bible study and I came she came to church with me and then I asked her hey do you know would you would you like to hold a go since she said you know I'm not really for sure what do I do she said I felt like I needed to backpedal number one you probably talked that Bible study here if you didn't teach it whoever was I'll probably done the phenomenal job she called truth she heard truth she just didn't catch it so you know what you do so I tell you what we're going to do how about how about we just pray for the blessing of the Lord who would refuse that so she says yeah you know what I do I said no God this is my friend we were in Bible study together Jesus and we learned about your word and we learned about your power I'm asking you God tonight to begin to share your light begin to share your revelation God about the gift of the Holy Ghost God I'm just asking you to put your hand upon her and God let her feel your power and your presence strong and Lord when she's ready fill her what's your beautiful spirit in Jesus name now that's what I do I wouldn't say well son if you don't get it you mean I spent 12 weeks in your house and you still ain't gonna get it what is wrong with you you know you could go to hell for that don't do that I mean I don't know how she was but she hadn't got it in the last 15 or 20 or 25 or 30 years so what's another day or two I mean really what's another day or two big deal so but I keep praying and that's a hey I'll come over tomorrow and we're gonna go back through and I'd go right to lesson 8 that's where people get the Holy Ghost you know I taught 5,000 Bible studies personally before I ever got to preach one time 5,000 lessons I talked before I ever got to preach I had hundreds get the Holy Ghost at the kitchen table before I ever got to even preach my first service I taught 13 to 15 Bible studies a week and I worked a secular job working 58 hours a week I taught Bible studies six nights a week for 10 solid years because I wanted to be a soul winner I got a preach I really worked the author but the only way I can get paid I got to preach it nobody just pages it could work the alternates and I got to eat booyah I don't work at all good question anybody else got a question don't be shy and again I'm not trying to get questions I just want I just want to ask if anybody has a question you got you are a concern in the altar yes sir beautiful I knew that question was coming how do you how do you deal with the back rubs and the massagers and and all them people first of all when you're up front passes already said okay you're gonna be on our altar team or everyone you know whoever hired all worked that out so here you are and here comes brother so-and-so or sisters so-and-so and you know here they come jicama hakama hoe and you know they're gonna do it you know here they come having convulsions and you know what's gonna happen here's what I do when I see them coming I'll just step by the person's here I put my hand on them and say come right here as soon as they get the Holy Ghost said we're gonna we're gonna worship stand right here and stay in between them in there all right just stay in between them let me show you something else don't go back and pray for people if you're an altar worker stay up here here's why here's why every place in the Word of God when God done something they always came to him when you go back there and try to pray for people in the pews they only get it in self-defense and they never stick I've had grannies come to me little Johnny's in the back and he's just so embarrassed about coming back to the carriage will you come pray for him I always say no I know if little Johnny wants the Holy Ghost let him come get it because the devil will send them people to church forty people to be praying for that one why you got all these new people wanting the Holy Ghost and know it a little Johnny ain't gonna stake he ain't gonna stay he just st. gonna stay you know what I'm talking about pastor can you come pray he just don't want to come on up but I know in my heart he know you don't know if he wanted to he got up and come got it leave him alone let Jesus deal witte it ain't gonna hurt nothing what's another day lost you gonna do right anyway just leave him alone when you go make people pray it never works when you go make people pray it never works it's got to be a heart issue it's got to be a hard thing all right anybody else and I'll push an alternate yes ma'am let me get up here what I can hear you yes ma'am okay that's cause we don't text in church I'm just kidding I'm just kidding you didn't see the sunset cut yourself on off my god lady no I'm kidding y'all loved having fun you okay so okay English is not their first language okay well here's the deal oh I love you said that when I'm in my altar call I say well listen if all you know is English and you begin to speak another language congratulations that's the Holy Ghost and now you're bilingual and I said if you're bilingual and you start speaking another language congratulations that's the Holy Ghost and now your triangle and if your trialing well my god that's the Holy Ghost and you're smart okay so I tell people like that I'll say listen you're not gonna speak the languages you know you're gonna speak a heavenly language whether their English is good or their French is good or their Spanish is good or or whatever so that's what I tell people it's not the language you know it's a heavenly language so that's what I do okay is that okay is that okay pastor well okay we're good alright is that okay ma'am I'll do good I'll make him answer his phone answer your phone all right anybody else anybody any yeah yes ma'am yes ma'am yes ma'am yes ma'am beautiful question I knew that would come up they are coming to the altar and their sobbing and they're crying I mean I can pinch you I'm gonna make you saw them crying nothing wrong with that I understand sometimes it's emotion but the Spirit of the Lord is not gonna leave so what I do is I've had people Uncle Bob tea I've had people saw I mean and I get down there and I say hey you know what's you know what's wrong why you why you I see a lot of tears and why are you crying I said we'll stop and catch your breath you need some water let's find out what we're gonna do here cryin ain't the Holy Ghost I've been in churches I had a guy I had a guy well you'd fall out this guy had his head down and then the guy working with me he says he's got to get his head up he's got to get his head up I'm like what do you mean he says he's got shame he's got to get his head up if you don't get his head up he'll never get the Holy Ghost I'm like well that out not dang the Bible I say you have to have your head up to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to have your hands up to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to be crying to get the Holy Ghost you don't have to be standing it be better to be said and that's how they did it in the Bible but nobody wants to do that but anyway um I tried that one time that failed yeah they got crucified over that one but anyway of course it was Bible but I'm sorry Lord forgive me and so the guy had his head all down so I just got it underneath there and I say hey man he ready for the Holy Ghost I said okay so man he gets to getting the Holy Ghost I've tapped the gun I said hey get down there ain't got damn man he goes I can't believe that I can't believe I'm like well dude so when he got done I said sir yeah like what was that he said I don't know how to say I don't know I said what did you say in the language he didn't understand yeah I never had that I said I think that's the Holy Ghost let me find out I said do you think that's the Holy Ghost he goes he didn't even want the guy to have it because he didn't get it the way he thought he ought to get it who died and made us King so when you're crying like that mom beautiful question you know what I'll do I'll just stop him say hey listen to me take a breath take a breath here here there's neck I say listen let's talk to Jesus what is it you need from God okay let's pray for that people might come down and and and they might be having marital problems they might be having back problems they might be having situations at their job for whatever that person wants to pray about it's not always about getting the Holy Ghost there's people here that came here for weeks before you ever got it nobody gave up on you pray for what the person wants to pray for can I be upfront everybody is not as happy about the Holy Ghost as we are am i real I'm being real so great questions stop them wipe them up give them a little water whatever they need and let's find out what we need because the worst thing in the world to let somebody just lay there and bawl and scroll and scream and roll around and nothing get accomplished especially when they don't know why you know sometime man just a rocking service or sometimes just the presence of God is so strong in the house people just begin to weep and don't even know why they're weeping it's because it's the presence of God in that house that okay okay is that okay anybody else anybody else if not I'll turn it I'll turn it yeah oh yes sir yeah yeah I went to a church what I went to a church and they were known for falling out okay so I'll tell you funny then I'll tell you what they're known for falling out I mean they all fall out that's it's their culture it's the way they were taught so when I got there when I got done preaching us in the look I know y'all gonna fall out but that's not the Holy Ghost I mean they were like i'ma tell you there was 68 of them in that church I can take you to the church today okay I was asked to come there specifically to talk about the Holy Ghost it was a another kind of church I said now I know y'all gonna fall out us and so here what we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead and get that all out the way y'all goin fall down do whatever y'all have y'all do it I don't know how y'all do it I don't know if they blow on your what but whatever you gonna do go and get that out the way you think I'm kidding I mean people literally just I thought it was a joke at first but they did so the guy sitting there everybody out y'all got all that I said everybody get up about get up and now we're gonna get the Holy Ghost I'm taking North to have a new I didn't say I can't take you to the name of the place I'm gonna take you there today that right out of Baltimore so I let them all fall out and they got that all out the way the older Briscoe said all right what do we do now said now we're gonna get them up I said everybody get up I said now everybody got - you got your fault you got all that I said whoo wasn't that wonderful man you should have saw that you thought Jesus was I mean you thought Jesus was standing right there they were like I'm right now we're gonna speak in tongues they went that's what we're gonna do so I talked a little bit more about that we got to repent as it stands to this state within three days every one of those people had got the Holy Ghost and I baptized 41 of them and the wonderful name of Jesus Christ and now they preach truth and the oneness of God I can take you to the beer so he says what about people that's falling out when they fall out get down there on the ground and keep praying you know anybody in the Word of God if you check it out in the Bible anybody that fell backwards check their reputation now but anybody that fell front was in a war worship position it was always God anytime they fell backwards Oh check that out in the Word of God when it was the power of God they always went to the worship position when it was flesh they went that way so if they gonna fall I doesn't let him fall you don't hurt me now when they get down there they're still breathing I'm gonna get on down there and pray for if they knocked himself out we're gonna call 9-1-1 I mean I got I just know the dude I'm serious so you know if they gonna go out if y'all want to catch him that's fine y'all go get you some digs in native catches if you wants I know some other people got them so they let them fall down and then get down there and pray for him because you can get the Holy Ghost laying down you can get to hold it go setting down you can get the Holy Ghost standing up you can get the hold of girls falling down am i right okay I know that's against so you know if you know that they're known for falling be nice put somebody behind him let him fall set him on down get down there pray for him let him speak with tongues I don't care how to get the Holy Ghost just so they get the Holy Ghost okay that okay anybody else and I'll shut up anybody else yes sir yeah I mean you you can you he said can you encourage people to put their hands in the air sure you don't have to right oh yeah yeah yeah make them look like a scarecrow I know I know it's done that you know to me you know I know there's people saying come on get your hands up that's tradition pick your head up that's tradition what you do need to do is open your mouth you need to open your mouth okay and to me now I know I've had some other question what about if they're blah blah I got answers for all that too but bottom line is you need to open your mouth you don't have to have your hands up your head back you know but you know and I know I've seen people like you say like hope Jim if they won't put their hands down let them put him down I was in Western I was in Eastern Shore and the pastor his brother his brother come to church he said man don't don't don't laugh at my brothers he's dead as a hammer say he don't move you don't have the Holy Ghost he just comes cuz she won't shut up and just I'm like you know okay no problem so sure enough man I'm preaching he comes to the front they were all like so he comes to the front has his hands in his pocket and I said hey how you doing he said fine I said is there anything you want me to pray for yeah I said okay what do you want me to pray for I said

I said what will you do that now he said yeah I said okay so let's repent he said well come on so we repented so when we got done I said well I feel better she said yeah me too I said well um you want to go ahead and get the Holy Ghost he said yeah I said now honestly I'm kind of doubt and I said like right now he said Yeah right now I said okay I said well I'm gonna pray for he said well that's why I'm up here I mean he's rude I'm thinking boy rebellions a form of witchcraft but anyway up anyway I laid my hands on him that Joker went out talking in tongues literally the whole church no lie the whole church ran outside and ran around the building apparently they had said when he got the Holy Ghost we're gonna run around the building I mean date they left me I'm not lying they left me I'm going like oh my god where'd everybody go and and then all of a sudden the door button here they come back I'm like where y'all being able to go you don't understand he's on the floor and I'm like well y'all come same talking tongue when he got up I said well you got the Holy Ghost he said yeah so that that little scripture about the joy of the Lord [Music] you can be a prune in talking tongues you can be dead as a hammer and talk in tongues okay my man never hey he never took his hands out his pockets just went down I thought i'ma just let him fall I ain't gonna grab him for nothing got the

it wants to do if you know what if you want the Lord that can I be honest I know I talked to the whole church but everybody's not comfortable working in the altar okay I'm well aware of that everybody's not sure if if they're qualified to work in the altar and I understand that but if there's a desire in your spirit to be used of God to help other people come to the revelation of who he is and there is something in your spirit that you'd say yeah man I'd love to to help somebody receive the beautiful gift that I have you you you really want God to impart that to you would you lift your hand would you be honest you really want that to happen here's what I want us to do if you're able to stand I want you to stand every person that had their hand up I want you to come down I just want you to come down if you don't have the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost whatever you'd like to call it and you want it you can come down and I don't I don't I don't know but two people here three people here so I don't know who has it and who doesn't but you can get it today just coming down
