message the testimony yesterday my if that didn't encourage you we have been blessed and every young person in this room I say it all the time but I'm 38 years of age but everyone it's 38 and under we're spoiled rotten I mean let's just be honest all right everything's remote control we can start our car from inside a house I mean we don't do nothing you know and you hate those stories but when I was a kid I was the remote dad had this TV about the size of that pulpit and that knob you know go change the channel you know and it was bad but man were we can cook a mic you know Nuka whole Thanksgiving dinner in a microwave nowadays amen but we're spoiled but let's not lose what we have and let's take advantage of what the Lord's given us Acts chapter number 13 if you would we're going to read two verses and then we're going to preach a little bit verse number 21 and afterward they desired a king and God gave unto them saw the son of sis a man of the tribe of Benjamin by the space of 40 years and when he had removed him he raised up unto them David to be their king to whom also he gave testimony and said I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart was she'll fulfill all my will let's have a word of Prayer we'll get started our Heavenly Father what we should do love you thank you for a wonderful day thank you for a good time that we've already had these last couple days I pray that you've blessed now and Lord what tremendous messages we've already heard this morning what a life that you've allowed us to look at in this man named David I pray that you'd help us once again as we break open in this eternal book to find a truth that would encourage us that would save the lost that would convict the saved help us to leave this place not being the same Lord I want to leave changed I want to believe motivated to do something great for you thank you for this place thank you for my preacher thank you for his vision his drive to want to not only reach America but reach all over the world god help us to get something today that a bring honor and glory to you and your precious name I pray amen we have had a good time on tour my group that just saying they did a good job I didn't train them but you saved my group makes you sound good and we went all over the southwest part and had a great time we're out in California for a couple weeks I don't know if anybody from California to that claim it down here and arrests just woke up amen but California was a fun place I honestly if we could get there governor saved and called the preach we'd have every young man in the world getting called to preach amen Governor Schwarzenegger he would scare you enough amen you will get caught the breach now and you will walk down the aisle now and as we traveled we do all kinds of stuff try to stay awake I tried a little bit to listen to the Bible on CD and Alexander Scourby I'm sure a great fella but boy he can put you out in about five minutes and love the guy but I thought man if we could get all these people and they can put the Bible on CD you know think about it all different parts of the country and you can put it in the beginning God created and you know the walls of Jericho I will terminate them and you know he get put on there or I thought you know I work in Tennessee for a little bit and in East Tennessee they talk so slow the first time anybody from Tennessee I know there's something back here someone could see takes him forever Oh buddy and first time I went sewing in East Tennessee I knocked on the door and this fellow was talking so slow and I as I left I I was with brother Tony Esther brother Tony man I guess he must had stroke we want to pray for that brother and he said it's just how they do things around here so I mean and I thought man if we've had them put the Bible on CD you'd have stacks of it you know in the Big B what's that word big beginning you know it'll be like what in the world and but it's just fun so we do all kinds of stuff to stay awake and stay alive amen but we've had a good time and we have looked forward to being here because there's something about this place and there's something about the opportunity to help teenagers to step up to that next level and today I want to preach on this subject what to do when you're King what to do when you're King today of course we're preaching about David and looking at the life of a great man and if you look in the Word of God about David it's amazing he is mentioned more than any other character in the Bible outside of the Lord Jesus Christ as you open up the New Testament he's the very first one mentioned outside of our Savior as she closed out the Bible in revelation 22 you'll find he's the last one mentioned outside of our Savior I know we're very quick as our human minds immediately go to maybe some wrong things that people do and it's very easy to always think of the negative we we like the gossip amen I starting to brother Kenny the other day and I said maybe we ought to write a book about all the preachers we ever met and all the stories we ever heard amen and we just entitled it now don't you repeat this and I would sell millions amen and put all their faces on the front and back cover praise the Lord and can I tell you something we have an opportunity now you're going to become a king you'll have a kingdom over your home you'll have a kingdom maybe you'll be a preacher you have a kingdom ladies you'll have children you'll raise you'll have a mission field you'll conquer you have an evangelistic trail you may blaze but when it's your turn to be king what will you do with it here in the life of David's you find some great things and honestly if I choose between Saul or David I would have chosen saw have you ever read something in the Bible and thought I don't quite understand why God did that but evidently I need to trust God he's got on man you know as I read there's verses in the Bible I don't understand I mean there's one that says I'm a man smite you on the right cheek turn around and the other also I'm thinking that does not make sense at all I mean if you want to fight to break out just jump on a bus on Sunday when they're going up how are your mama 13 kids are getting knocked out amen if Ida wrote the Bible I would said it because nobody's gonna Wham oh that was good here try this side sorry I'm not a good Christian but you know I've tried to wrote the Bible if a man smite you on the right cheek turn around deccan but I didn't write the Bible amen if a man takes you to court and Susan take your coat give me your overcoat I don't know about that that's for good Christians I would a role of a man Suzy at the law on teacher coats it is tires on the way out of court a man Kia's car kill the kid get something out of it amen but evidently God knows something I don't know as I look at the life of David versus Saul Saul was angry he had an anger problem so I had a jealousy problem I'm a jealous guy it's my wife 17 years we celebrate in July don't walk up and hold my wife's hand I don't care how big you are knock you out and smile and say Jesus Saves and changes lives and if you are bigger than me that's why I Drive an SUV and it would be an honor to stand before Judge Judy and say I did it and I chase him through three parking lots but I caught him and ran over him Amen I'm a jealous guy I mean I can't help it she's a good-looking woman hey whoa whoa were to God but let me tell you something Saul had anger problems here jealousy problems saw had all kind of issues but David was a murderer that's pretty bad David commit adultery that's two of the top ten but the whole issue that I believe God said David you're a man after my own heart you fulfilled all my will Saul sit down but I'm hitting shows mother sit down but God I mean as a young man he was a good young man but something happened to his attitude that he could never accept responsibility for what he did every time he was confronted with this sin or is wrong he always blames somebody else well preacher he didn't show up on time well the people wanted to save him for his sacrifice David's trying to steal my kingdom God said I can't handle your attitude sit down you talk too much you won't listen David come here buddy but wait a minute God he commits adultery yeah but as soon as a man of God confronted him he said tell me what to do David committed murder yeah but as soon as he was confronted he tell me how to get right David number the people but as soon as he was confronted he said I want to fall in the hands of God he's a merciful God God you tell me what to do and because of that attitude and I believe with all my heart if we could get a generation that would work on their attitude that says I'll do whatever God wants me to do and I'll do whatever God wants me to go and when I do wrong I'll fess up and I'll take my lumps for it and when I do right I'll give God all the credit for it amen get a good attitude about life here's David and his son Absalom we're talking about spiritual discretion here if you will and a little bit and David the son of Jesse who is that who's the son of Jesse I mean as brother Freddy did such a great job and he's the one they actually looked over he had no great privileges he had no great possessions he had a bunch of sheep he had no great pedigrees this son of Jesse who is he but when I think about the son of David absolutely wait a minute well you talk about a family Absalom what are you doing absent I mean think about it when David walked around they said who's your daddy you don't know him don't worry about it I mean he has to know dad is there you know now he did it later on but when absent walked through the kingdom they said well we know who this debt is absent was that pretty boy he had that hair the Bible says he weighed his hair dude that's a lot of a man I mean when you're way in your hair his neck had to been that big around looked like an NFL football player you know way in your hair I mean he can knock people out with that stuff and that's exactly how he ended up dying a great message brother Lester off and then you walked on amen the mule said I'm tired of riding with you buddy you got more hair than I do and he just kept walking and we'll have some hanging in that hippie hair but when he walked her hit everything you would want to have he would have the life that other kids in the kingdom sat back and said all to be Absalom good looking guy David's his dad anything you want you got it you want the brand-new hoopty chariot you got it Absalom riding around town how you doing pretty good I didn't have stereo we had people in there singing turn it up boys and I mean he had it going on but here's David just and Absalom I was just enjoying his life he had the family had the foundation he had the future I mean you're in the line of the king himself anything you want after him it's yours but he ended up throwing it all away because he could not use the discretion that a young person ought to use spiritual discretion what is it's good maturity it's how to make good decisions and when it's your turn to be king young people let me just say be careful about critiquing mom and dad too much okay we've never raised teenagers I got one in here somewhere I hope he's in here if I reap what I sow he's not here right now amen I skipped a lot of sessions growing up but I got a 16 year old that now also we're looking eyeball to eyeball and it's no more hey put James money back follow me I used to take my boys in there a little it's fun having slaves I mean children I just take my boys when they were younger and I teach them outstanding attention and you know it's fun when you're three and four it's not too much fun when you're 16 come on dad and but I stand attention before they they get like that and I said ease as you were and I just love that we teach in family devotions our favorite emotions had no Bible we just had fun so I remember one time went to a bank and I had Scotty and Phillip at the time I don't think we had Stephen walked into the bank and I was just goofing around because you know they had fun with it they were just real young I said alright a attention boy they standing like that so I went over there and I was thinking well I never feel people staring at you like I feel right now and if you ever have people staring and I look over and there's a you know a bunch of folks there who looking some of them are going Oh ain't that cute and there's a couple ways they got mad I have never and so when I saw it irritated them I can't help it's in my blood and when I saw the irritated Emma at ease what love that I just kept working so I went up took care of whatever at the teller there and I walked out the door and I left him there walked out the glass door when I did I'm peeking back in and that was she is just steaming man she's fit to be tied and I'm looking there going this is great and they were doing so good mannered and open though I said hey I forgot y'all come on boys hey hey took over running out the door I said sister have a great day and just have a good time spiritual discretion what are you gonna do when it's your turn to be dad I don't like the rules of my house okay let me give you a piece of advice no more than shut your mouth because you don't pay for that mortgage see so it's my mortgages might have my words not much but it's all mine mine it's all along stuffy and I own it all number two when it's your turn to be king do what you always want to do but let's learn from David if we can what helped him to grow up and be the king he ought to be first of all I believe if you'll turn over the first Sam you'll set the team we'll look at some verses here and for sake of time if you're really quick you can look at him if not I'm just going to go on through this but first of all I see he use spiritual discretion as a lad let me just say you don't have to start you don't have to wait rather to serve God you can start serving God right now nobody says that you have to wait till you're in your 30s and you're marrying you got three kids and now all of a sudden you can start getting the hold of God god bless your heart you want to get a hold of God right now there ought to be some lads it'll rise up in this thing Youth Conference today they'll go home with a touch of God on your heart and do something big for God here he is as a lad first of all I see a discretion with this father in 1st Samuel 17 in verse number 17 if you look at that verse if you're there the Bible says and Jesse send the day that his son take now for thy brother and he filed this part scorn and these 10 loaves and run to the camp with my brother and I don't see David at all talking back to his daddy I see David obeying his daddy David could have said hold up Jess ups Jess if you don't mind could maybe you don't know yet King or all the other dudes they didn't make it Jess come on man Kings don't carry cheese and crackers Kings we're big Green's we chop off people's heads we steal the property I mean we raise taxes we do all that we don't carry cheese and crackers he didn't do that he had a good relationship with his dad he obeyed I've never had a parent yeah yet come and ask for help with some counseling all my son's driving me crazy well what's he doing every time I ask him over the law and he says yes sir huh he not only mows it he has to weeding then yesterday and I he's driving me out of my mind every time I ask her to do the dishes she says yes ma'am really and you're mad about what the truth is if we would get obedient like David was with his father I believe we could have a revolution but we've plugged up every avenue of listening he that hath an ear let him hear and we're so busy sticking everything we can in there that God doesn't have time to talk to us and no authority has time to get ahold of our heart and I love what my pastor says I'm not coming down to your generation bless God you're coming up to ours you all listen to the music mom and daddy give you all the way to cause mom and daddy buy you Hey good neighbor now to have hey they ought to get some stores for old people in the mall forever 21 get over yourself 70 year olds wearing 21 year old stuff y'all gonna put that every teenager I'll say man hey let's get discretion like David did as a lad he had it with his father not only that very very quickly he had it with the fold he went to Saul and Saul said well what happened how in the world can he fight this giant David said not a problem and I kept this sheet from my daddy and he made this right he said before they were my father's sheep can I you something I don't care what you makes well I don't have a big job at the church or I don't hide doing anything they don't find something to do and find your fold and you fight for that fold you know why I carry this Bible cuz I had some spiritual forefathers and said hey boy this King James Bibles hit man you follow the Word of God you know why I serve God and I hurt so much that dear man that said here yesterday and had to grow up the way he grew up I'm so glad that I had some spiritual forefathers in my life this says there's only one true God and it's not Allah it's not Buddha in Stockton futures bless God it's the Lord Jesus Christ and I'm going to tell you it's worth dying for I'm sick and tired of having to start a new generation of Christians there ought to be some third and fourth and fifth and sixth generation Christians Amen friend get over you don't have to hate it's not in the Bible that this group has to go to the that to the devil there's nothing that says we got to start over with your kids because you're going to run out and marry 14 people get your body tattooed up here so many times you you look like you been peppered with a machine-gun hey let's stay in all the way you've got one life you might as well give every bit of it to God we ain't got time to fool around we ain't got time to mess up let's just stay right so we don't have to get right here he is he was faithful as a lad with his father he was faithful as a lad with the fold but can I say also he was faithful as a lad with his family chapter 17 verse 29 he's there at the battle and let me just say he's already been sent back once I mean he that if you'll read earlier in 17 he's going with his brothers and Saul said you need to go back I guess I can't even play that's how it was growing up I was always the runt of the family and you ever been out there where they're picking four teams I'll take em and the other team kept I'll take them and they're starting to whittle down and you're still there you know and now you're walking in front of it what are y'all doing we're picking teams move okay what are y'all playing just move and it's really bad when they say I'll take her oh come on Layton tackle football man come on you know it's crazy um guys and then they start fighting over you you can have him no go ahead we got enough already here's David he's already been sent back once he goes back to the battle and he shows his discretion is ov add with his family he wasn't there to fight a giant he was just there to obey his dad got some cheese and crackers mind his own business it's that noise hey guys we all up - man where's the battle letting guts got a pile of heads over there pile fingers over there what's going on I want to see some blood ribbon off the spear no didn't say and then he said what have I now done what's wrong I'm your family you know what we're a family of God young people don't critique everybody that walks in a youth department why not be there to welcome them into the youth department if we're gonna reach this generation we need some lads that will have spiritual discretion with their father and with their full but with their family very quickly let me just say he showed discretion not only as a lad but he showed it as a loyal one who is he loyal to one he was bald to his government Bible says he went up the saw and he said Saul don't let anybody's heart faint I'll take care of it for the people I love my country man we live in the best one y'all figure that out yet I know it's messed up y'all he'll go to

our country and how's it going to happen I'm looking at the people right here he was loyal to his government not only that he was bald to his generation I know that we're supposed to learn from the past generation I thank God for all that I can learn and I know we're supposed to hand down to the next generation that's what this conference is all about but can I say you're here you're living what the devil would love to do is get you to spend your whole life regretting what you did yesterday or worried about what's going to happen tomorrow and you end up wasting today not getting a chance to do something for God forget about what you did yesterday get it right and move on quit worrying about where you're going to be 20 years from now start serving God now keep somebody out of hell now read your Bible now serve your generation hey this generation is one of the saddest at times it ought to be the happiest man what are you upset about you're 14 all you got to do is breathe and we help

Johnny Pope and he preached that wonderful message Jesus is wonderful got a hold on my heart tore me up and God had already been working I wouldn't fight him I just wanted to make sure this what wanted me do I mean every preacher I heard up I grew up here in all kinds of preaching I thought man there's nothing left in the Bible I mean today there's already been two preachers on David have you got any idea what David did in his life let's see here you know I mean come on doesn't take a rocket side I thought dear what are you sure man God got ahold of my heart and just ripped it out I dove

family one more home to get them excited about this thing of serving God let's step up and let's do something in your youth Department quit waiting for the first one to walk down the aisle you ought to be the first one walking down the aisle we're waiting for the first testimony to stand you ought to be the first one let's get a hold the generation make something happen many great revivals have been started because of teenagers his generation but not only that he was loyal to his God he said I'll tell you Goliath they started talking back and forth he said you're gonna be no problem because I'm gonna show everybody here there's a God in Israel the last thing is this I want you to notice and now tie it all up here and I'm finished what calls David and the absence that Absalom had was he was used discretion not only as a lad not only as a loyal one but used it as a leader he let his followers properly they were at a place one time you can read it later first hema 26 Saul have been chasing David all over the country trying to kill him David a knavish I have snuck into the camp there right there saw sound asleep his man looks at him and says let me run him through because I hate this man so much because what he's doing to you one shot I won't have to hit him again David looks at him and says man you can't do that that's God's anointed America I could even repented him I got to hold his heart that he didn't got that close and he taught his follower how to use some discretion how to say not now not the time not the place wait on God you're gonna have some followers one day older brother older sister you got some followers now teach them that you don't have to go out in the world find out what's all about we know what it's all about it's all about losers let's just get instead he showed as a leader to his friends when he heard the news of Jonathan and Saul's death bob says he wept and everybody around him you know what they did they started weeping because they they saw the great love that David had for that man that was trying to kill him but David said no that's my leader well that's things this is as a leader he showed discretion with his faith first Kings chapter 2 the first three verses the Bible says David's going to die and he said it's gonna happen he's dying he calls Solomon in and he says Solomon let me give you some things I want to give you a charge and if you'll just do this I promise you you'll never regret being a king he gives him the charge of course Solomon who listens to it here he is in his dying days still loyal to his faith young people you do not have to wander far away from home and now I'm coming home I think God for every one that does please do not misunderstand that's what we do I don't build buildings I can't fix a car that breaks down just driving the woods go buy another one I don't know how to construct anything but I do know how to help a teenager clean up his life I do know how to help my marriage get back

guarantee a hundred years and everybody in this room's gonna be in heaven or hell what will you do with your faith will you be like Absalom and want to be a king for a day or you be like David who right in the middle of the explosion of the church God says can I remind y'all about somebody man I like David he's a man after my own heart He fulfilled all my will that great I love to hear preachers who just make you happy and make you fall in love with the Word of God I love the men I get to work with they're all like that you know some of you who stopped fighting God's will you'd be a lot happier we're some of the grumpiest people I know claim to be saved and the grumpy because they don't want to do what God tells them you know God's got a suitcase full of million dollar bills and you're trying to squeeze a Wooden Nickel into something more than what it is and you're unhappy because it says and he can equal and what God's got for you what a beautiful marriage behind God's will on a happy family do God's will you want you want to reach the the the best chance you have to the richest fullest happiest most blessed life you better find God's will you know just that's where the happiness is a lot of you have have never either been taught or never figured it out the happiest person in the universe is God God's not grumpy once in a while just once and the little sliver here look sliver there you see God looking like he's very angry yeah he's angry you know why he's angry he's angry at watching people mess up their lives not angry at the people just angry because he's saying why why don't you want to be happy like I am I'm the life I'm joy every every happiness that you could ever feel the happiest you've ever been in your life doesn't come close to how God lives every day he's a happy God when I hear preaching like that it reminds me how happy my god is I love just how you finished like that God stops and says hey y'all you going crazy building that church I just think a happy thought I was just thinking of somebody that does my will I wonder how happy David is today you know you got your image of heaven and I do and I guarantee you both are way off but as as David is busy today in heaven and God is busy running unbelievable work unbelievable work trying to answer prayers and helping you a wonder if he passes the Lord today the lower stops and says I sort of love you David hey David did you get chance to tune into that frequency of Hammond down there that big church having a conference and today that picked you as a topic what like that David thought all man they like to talk about me I'm nobody that's great that's awesome I hope you make God happy it'll make you happy I guarantee you that as wonderful for the grain just just exactly what
