want to get the general board off of the platform so I get you up here to worship God with me okay I'm just picking on you now I'm just picking on that was a that was a different thing what we did with the opener and what we did with these young people is we wanted to show that we're linked together the book of Ecclesiastes begins with the words of the preacher he's the son of David he's the king of Jerusalem we know him as Solomon Ecclesiastes is Solomon's summary of life and when is nearing the end in chapter 1 verse 4 he begins by saying one generation passeth away and another generation cometh but the earth abideth forever in other words the wise man assessment was man is born and he dies and the world seems to never notice all of last year when Bo TT was over something began to grip me that I wanted to start investing at POA and the younger generation I'm not just talking about those under me in the 50s and 40s the jump I took was down to what you would term college career what we call here journey in our senior high class and I began to teach them and mentor them because I felt like that they needed to know the history and the foundation of how this church began and what this church was when mother and daddy came here 68 years ago and I started investing my life after you left here last year in the younger generation we called them Genesis now and they're singles and young married couples that I meet on the first Saturday night of every month and then I left and I went to impact oh brother carnies conference they're such a powerful conference y'all attended some time to choose the last week made the first week of June and they call it impact and they asked me to preach there and I felt led just to minister to the young people and so I began to preach about the mantle falling passing the torch the young people's got it and that night we ended up with all the young people in the platform and they were moved by the power and the anointing of God through that summer I preached four count meetings last year and and I preached every time I preached it was on the younger generation has it they're going to do something great for God we had our beauty planning session I told the team they usually looked at me and do you have anything sometimes I say yes sometimes I said no but I gave them when I were feeling and so out of that we talked about it we discussed it with other of our friends and we came up with the name linked so we were linked together and I went to youth Congress and then I went to Manila Philippines and and I preached there and Mike my friend fell and broke his leg and so I had to take an extra session I came home and fasted on Saturday and communion was on Sunday morning and we had great communion service Sunday night we were going to have a good preaching and one of these guys was going to preach brother Terry knows a lot about this but the power of God fell after communion and we got to be really where holy rollers that night and so they didn't get to preach that night and so I left here just thanking God for a great Sunday when Monday morning I got out of bed and I was going to the restroom and I got to the end of the bed and when I did that's the last thing I remember except waking up and Mickey's swinging Jesus Jesus Jesus please Jesus and I'm screaming Mickey it's my ribs it's not Jesus it's my ribs and so I started having these headaches and so I went to my doctor friend here dr. hunter and he told me I'm not conflict what I'm hearing and once you're done MRI so we didn't MRI and he called me said you need to get to my office and so Mick and I go to his office and he said you're going to Mayo in two weeks he said so I I want to tell you what we have found you have an abnormality on your brain he said and I think it's a stroke but Mayo would tell you and it's in a place where you keep having strokes and the thing that has me concerned is that's what your they died with and that's what your grandfather died well that's a real encouraging word again but I went to Mayo Mayo confirmed and so that's what happened and they changed my diet changed my way of living told me I was gonna have to stop traveling and told me that I was going to back off at POA so I began to listen the doctors and that's what I had been doing I've changed my diet diet as you know I've not been traveling this coming year where I was usually going three weeks out of the month preaching your camps or your conferences or men's conferences speaking engagements I have three total engagements this year the only reason I didn't count to cancel them is because I they've had it scared you for so long but I didn't encounter it very close to where my father told me to keep before PA he said Anthony he said there's one thing you have to do pastoring that church he said you got to keep eternity in front of them and you really understand I preached on time and eternity of lot but until you get close to eternity you really don't know how to preach on time and eternity until a doctor looks at you until you're getting near eternity so I began to reassess things in my life and so the last five months I have been remembering and I have been recounting and I've been recessing with brokenness all the things that have been with great sacrifice passed on to me the spiritual Giants of past generations would precept and with practice teaching and preaching with sacrificial living and giving how they prayed how they fasted how they prayed and how they worship and how they had a passion to reach loss people I have but weeds to me personally on firsthand exposure supernatural ministry sitting in my notes but one night we were here I just come back home from Plano and that one so this have been 37 years ago there was a lady that dropped dead right over here in this left section in our church and the reason why I note that I just didn't take our doctors words for it the medics came that came in put all the machines on it they declared her dead so daddy was still back in the office and I was out here scared to death then what to do I was just a young preacher and that he comes out and says what's wrong I said well daddy a lady's dead over there he said she was dead my daddy went over there and walk pews and laid hands on that lady and she gasps for breath they took her to wrappings general she got out three weeks [Applause] that's what was passed to me days and nights of fervent prayer fasting this church that praise and worship sacrificial giving my godly parents maternal and paternal but it's just the Lumpkin all of them lived their lives but the Lund sister Lumpkin gave their life for this organization they were living sacrifice holy and totally unreservedly to Jesus Christ and everlasting expanding kingdom of God my grandfather thought of pops a Gibson started 12 churches in East Texas Lufkin Texas where the largest Tabernacle for camp meetings resides in the United Pentecostal churches in Lufkin my grandfather started the first Apostolic Church in Lufkin Texas that's my hair today thought of grandpa Mangan and reassessing my life al that he pastored in plymouth indiana indiana district 9 because of his funny stories that he would always put in their paper they successfully passed it on to their children and and then they pass it on to their children men and women that have affected my life I would like to talk to some of them tonight I would be very brief and then I'm going to talk but I would like for my mother come up here real quick if you would join me mother from back there and and I would like for my pastor brother sister Tina to join me up here real quick and I would like for brother sister Phillips to join me up here real quick and I would like for brother Kraft to join me up here real quick would y'all allow me to do this [Applause] [Music] these are men and women that affected my life I thank God for my pastor and sister tinny

thank you he's my best man in my wedding this has been my close friend right here and he lived at nine he was ten years old when mother and daddy came here his daddy was on our church board Kenneth was one of the most forceful preachers I've ever heard Kenneth could laid me on my face with a passion to reach Souls tennis was a soul preacher and when Kenneth got through preaching you wanted to sell everything and give everything away these men and their wives impacted my life and then this woman of God right here there's nobody like her she's 92 years old you may be seen it I gotta preach tonight you may be seated I got a pre please you're giving her honor but my mother and father put it in me they taught me how to pray but the reason for mother not being here in these men of God is that man right there when you look at my dad where is dad do you have him look there he is up there that's the way it was around here you never knew where he was gonna pop up but that man was was his wife was our was their piano player when we came here 1950 his wife he came to PA and he married a girl in our church they went to Jackson to that church and and then Kinnison was raised here brother

message I'll never forget I laid in the altar for a long time mark preached on mama go home I gotta die and oh it's laid on my face in Tennessee preach on the power behind us is greater than the task before us and we believed that we could do anything and you'll never know the effects that you've had brother Williams told me his daddy attended that meeting that became our sister superintendent he said it was the Jackson meetings that convinced him that he didn't have a lid over his head anymore and taught him that he could grow a tote area about it and Terry said well it was my father that went to him when he left Jackson he said he became the Bible teacher that he became of teaching Bible studies you men and women affected our lives and an organization and we give honor to you tonight and all of your fathers and mothers would give honor to them [Music] [Applause] my generation now has taken hold of what you have given us and we large the place of our tents and we've stretched forth the curves of my habitation and we have linked in our cords and we have strengthened our stakes my generation is now passing away my generation is now standing here 68 years ago years old having suffered a stroke so I'm not leaving anytime soon but my generation is there with a generation now that the younger people are now looking to its brothers it's a ten-year moving closer to the sunny banks of sweet delivered to these men and women it is now my generation less I must realize tonight with soberness and intensified prayer the awesome responsibility of the generation that is passing away and make sure a pass to something of a generation that is coming David the greatest king who ever sat on his real strong David the man after God's own heart in his final prayer before the coronation of his son Solomon that was to follow him in first chronicles 29 and 19 he said and give under Solomon my son give him a perfect heart to keep my Commandments and thy testimonies in thy statues and to do all these things to build a palace for which I have made provisions let me add verse 2 and 3 there in essence he says I have prepared with all of my mind for the house of God I set my affection to the house of God I made provision I gave all of my abundance and spoils that I obtained through war the riches that I have gathered in battles I have given it to bill the Magnificent Solomon's Temple what a man that knew how to surrender to the next generation can you imagine all of his stuff is what built Solomon's Temple understand that Solomon built it but everything that he did with David had given it to him and yet David's name didn't even make it on the event center but he surrendered to his son and he knew what was gonna happen we know that Solomon did he became the wisest and the richest and the most famous man of all but he backs up and tells us human wisdom is bankrupt wealth takes its wings and flies away servants will disappoint you they Solomon tried going another route he excited to maybe unlink a little bit and he got to where he saw great accomplishments was not how to be done and he finds himself grasping for the wind and when you read the last chapter of Ecclesiastes he is now trying to link back up to his heritage and he says one generation is passing away and another cometh and the world seems to not even notice and then we get to Ecclesiastes 12 lease sums up everything he said listen to me here the conclusion of the whole matter just fear God keep his Commandments for this is the duty of God really I'm linked in apostolic succession and doctrine in manner of life in prayer and fasting in praise and worship and Thanksgiving in sacrifice I am linked to that past generation I am linked to this past generation but I am linked to the present generation and the chain that we are linked with is a huge strong chain but the chain is no stronger than its weakest links let me give you the powerful words of our late president our 35th President John Kennedy he said this country and this world should be a better place when we turn it over to the next generation than what we inherited from the last generation in other words he said what we had to the coming generation should be better better better not less than what was handed to us but it should be better than what was handed to us that's why President Kennedy made such a strong effort and was committed to young people not only in the United States but of the world and then he said to his convention and in all these efforts you are there when you are in them and didn't Kennedy made the statement that I want to resign in this room tonight he said we have the capacity to make this generation the best generation in the history of mankind our we have the ability to make it the last generation tonight the choice is ours we will either make it the best generation or the last generation tonight standing here where I have gold since August the 14th I pledge of what years I have felt left that I'm going to pour in to the younger generation it's not the immediate impact that matters most it's the life impact that goes to the third and fourth generation and inheritance is what I can leave gentry and Mykel and the family but a legacy is what I leave in them if you leave an inheritance you are leaving it with them but when you leave a legacy you're leaving it in them legacy is the influence of your dream all others after you have died legacy and measured by what you accomplished during your lifespan legacy is what happens after you are dead will anthony Mangan die when he dies or will anthony Mangan live all in three or four generations Alijah that great prophet of God after defeating bale we know he ends up under a tree I never thought she could be depressed and I was very transparent with the speakers and sponsors in general board last night in October you know daddy would daddy if I knew it and somebody said he'd roll over in his grades he knew you're saying that right I think I'm gonna say it maybe you'll get out of it then oh I'd love me if he was here tonight but daddy never do it depressed day my daddy never knew what it was to be depressed I never had a depressed day I I didn't know what it was to be depressed didn't know nothing about it until the end of September and October and I'm told you can't preach any more like he was preaching he can't do any more I knew that was coming in 10 or 15 years I didn't know it's gonna be in 10 or 15 minutes and so my whole life begin to change I looked at my life are traveling the way I've travel in the way of done things and they're over and I caught myself in a depression and all of a sudden that God began to speak to me and so I began to study Elijah he said return o your way to the wilderness of the mask Elisha and when you arrived on North hey ZL is king over Syria annoy Ju the son of mr. king of Israel and anoint Elisha the son of Josiah of evil of Allah you shall anoint as prophet to take your place and I asked myself what are you doing sitting here under this tree God's got a ministry for you that's going to be far greater than you've had up to this point it's time for you to get up out of your pity party get your bottle of oil out there's a Jeju that needs to be anointed there's an Elijah that needs to be anointed [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I ask myself Who am I anointing and tonight I ask you who is your hey ZL who is your Jeju who is your Elijah who are you anointing after the death of her husband Franklin Roosevelt Roosevelt Eleanor battle loneliness and depression and a friend gave her poetry that inspired her to make the rest of her life worthy of her husband's memory this is her quote they are not dead who living lives they leave behind in those whom they have blessed they live a life again I hope when you see me that first of all you see Jesus Christ but the second thing I hope you see when you see me is the Amen I hope that my dad's legacy will live on in me [Music] I'm not a Mormon I don't believe in reincarnation but I do believe that we can leave the legacy that when I am going that somebody can say there's a piece of Anthony Mangan that's only inside of me that affected my life [Applause] and everyone in this room is an influencer let me tell you something we're blessed not to be presumptuous here but God has blessed us this little town of Alexandrian we've got property here on paper it's not worth probably three or four million dollars because nobody can buy a church like this in elexander except maybe my friend David I mean nobody else could purchase it it's just it's just not worth nothing but own insurance papers worth twenty eight million dollars that's pretty good for GA Mangan but that doesn't mean anything because it's not what I've done because of the times I am the keynote speaker known as the leader because the times that's not where it is that's only for now that's only for life if it dies when I die and I've done anything I'm not talking about the meeting I'm talking about what dad invested in me if I can't get it to them and I can't get it to him then I have failed it's my legacy that I gotta make sure that I carry on so in this room and beyond these walls and around this world we've got to take what was in the book of Acts and we got to make sure that it lives on in the next generation [Applause] [Music] it's time for us to turn the gift see you young people have it I'm gonna dress you in just a minute but you've got it you don't have to take a second seat to anybody the hand of God is resting on y'all you're gonna do greater works than you any of us I've ever seen and we'll talk about that in a minute but the thing that got us where we are the thing that brought us to where we are is that grab the book of Acts and dad taught us my friend Amy charity he knows that what built the foundation of this church and dr. Darrell they know what this church is built on it's prayer the next thing this church is built on is prayer the third thing this church is built on is prayer we got to pray that's what built this church it's not a personality it's not eloquent I only have a high school education I graduated for both in high school that's it I don't have a college degree but it was through prayer and fasting and my mother and daddy investing in me [Applause] [Music] it's prayer young people what you got to grab I thank God the way we shout I thank God for opener tonight I thank God for all these lights I thank God for our music I thank God for the way y'all want a new church and I'm with you 100% but let me tell you all that becomes junk if you don't know how to pray it's sounding brass and tinkling cymbal if you don't know how to pray you may be seated don't give me people know how to praise but don't know how to pray don't give me people that can shout on Sunday morning breaking down but they can't get their knees callous in the prayer room only way you're gonna survive is prayer if God calls you to carry that book you saturate it with prayer there's nothing can stop a man a woman of God that knows how to intercede and knows how to pray [Applause] and Solomon that man I've already talked about second chronicles 1:6 in Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the Lord which was at the tabernacle of the congregation and he offered a thousand burnt offerings verse 3 and verse 5 tells you who built that altar when you read verse 3 you find Moses when you get to verse 5 you find the carpenters that built that altar which lets you know that Solomon would first of all to the altars of his forefathers and he went and learned how they built altars and how they prayed and it was at that altar that God came to him and said Solomon what do you want I'll give you anything because you have gone and built me an altar he said give me wisdom he became the wisest man outside of Jesus Christ that's ever lived and he got it at an altar you want anointing and wisdom you get it at an altar [Applause] my dad skewed refer none we'll get past my dad mom in a minute but I can't get past him right now they put all this into me oh when dad passed away this city felt it as as my guest this city felt that this community felt it he was a spiritual godfather of this community he was the loominatee when dad walked in the room the hotel mature of the place changed that was a powerful powerful man my mother when she prays at events when I pray they say a man and they do like this and it's over when my mother prays everybody want to get on her face and pray they they they put it in me but when Dad died I said dad you taught me how to pray that time when Akal and I said I haven't done it like you do I pray I pray an hour every day if you didn't pray daddy that's these men daddy would daddy wouldn't let you get license if you didn't pray in our day you didn't have a chance that's the first thing you ask you did you pray in our day to you faster day a week if you didn't pray an hour a day faster day a week he wouldn't sign your license so I started praying the tabernacle hammies never heard me pray the tabernacle I mean honey praise the Tabernacle you stand real quick you've ever prayed the Tabernacle would you stand that your that hate bruised 12 I picked up what you taught me they didn't know how to do it but we did a little DVD of it dad when you look down you live on daddy you live on you may be seated you live on daddy yeah I observed this afternoon then wouldn't have it in her note she's following me up there to see that I'm doing okay and she won't have this in your notes because it came to me when I was praying I was walking back and forth and then office saying god I need a special anointing tonight a little bit handicapped I need you to touch me God I need a special unction of your spirit and all of a sudden I walk past that couch and it wasn't no spiritual thing I don't hear no boys for you stopped and looked I remember but 9 or 10 years ago there was a knock on my door and I opened it up and those of you visiting with us there's a man that was standing at that door by the name of T W Barnes he was a prophetic voice in the United Pentecostal Church and he was standing there at that door and they it was 5:30 and I'm studying and I'm praying and their brother born said yes sir brother born is just good to see you can I help you anything he said yes sir he said I just wanted to come in make sure you're okay I said well come on in brother Barnes and I said just come on in so he came in he went over there and I was needing to study I mean this is a this is a major meeting I was needing to study in it that's my final moments and goes over there and sit down and crosses his leg like it in starts wing he said boy oh don't let me interrupt you now he said you going to study said I've just come in here and everything's gonna be all right and I'm just got everything but I just had to get in here with you you just keep on studying praying I'd look over there and there'd be a tongue that Herod be going and his head be shaking and he wouldn't be saying any words he'd just be there holding up his hands and for the next few years until the man passed away and was promoted every because the times at 5:30 there was a knock on my door I just said come on in brother borns go to use his places right over there go sit down over there brother Barnes you know what he was doing he was getting those angels in that place with me he was putting that anointing in there with me when he walked in you could feel a change in the atmosphere with brother Barnes walked into that room it was a man of Prayer that's what was passed to me that's what was handed to me when you look at Exodus 20 it is one of the greatest chapters listen to me it is one of the greatest chapters that's in the Word of God when you read the first 17 verses if you don't know the Ten Commandments you can go there and learn the Ten Commandments in the first 17 verses when you get to verse 18 it says there's thundering and lightning and blowing trumpets then you get to verse 19 one of the most perplexing scriptures you will find God wants to talk to the children of Israel but they say no we want to talk to you you talk to Moses and Moses will talk to us can you imagine that God would come down and say I want to talk to you but they said we want to trust your man we want to hear from the pastor but we don't want to talk to you and then you get to verse 20 this is just a little nugget of Mangan moment I'm gonna drop in on you when you get to verse 20 the Bible says that they looked up and there was a dark cloud and the children of Israel stopped but Moses just kept walking and when you get there the Bible says that God was there if you're in a dark cloud tonight don't quit walking towards it just keep walking it because I learned on August the 14th that God is in the dark cloud you just keep moving towards it don't let anything discourage you but then you get to 22 and the Lord said to Moses this shall say unto the children of Israel you have seen that I have talked with you from heaven you shall not make with gods of silver neither shall you make of you gods of gold but an altar on earth this is a powerful scripture but an altar thou shalt make unto me thou shalt sacrifice their own the burnt offerings and the peace offerings and the sheep and the oxen in all places where I will record my name I will come under thee and I will bless thee young people if you will pray and build an altar God said my name will be there my presence will be there my power will be there if you will build an altar what is the alternate life it's the biggest piece of furniture in that tabernacle you can't go anywhere else we won't big arcs but we won't little altars the Ark of the Covenant could fit inside of the altar of repentance five or six times we won't be all we won't matter oculus miracles we want people getting healed but we got little bitty altars if we won't big Ark of the Covenant we have to build big altars [Applause] he makes prayer identical in force and power with himself all that God he is and all that God has maybe received through prayer what's his is mine through prayer if the church does not pray God will not act the church holds the key not the president not the Senate not the Congress not the kings of potentates or the authority but the church that is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets we owe the key to renew nothing nothing nothing when we realize it oh god we've had enough seminars there's enough books been written on prayer we'll to be praying from the time we get up the time we sit down at night we ought to be praying we've had enough teaching on prayer we're choking on it we gotta start doing what we've been taught young people it's the key to your life we got to start doing what we have been taught and when we do nothing will stop this church the gates of hell shall not prevail against it I don't care if you have 3,300 or 3000 if this United Pentecostal Church and our guest ever gets to praying we're gonna shape the world [Applause] Claire phenomenon is hit POA our teenagers and preteens 2017 there was a life-changing year in the young people of this church we're right now witnessing a spiritual resurgence among young people in this church our young men and women our young couples there sincerely desiring intimacy with God two fervent intercessory prayer we're passionate in prayer and worship righteous and rigorous teaching has been done but now they're practicing it they continue to respond to the challenge that God has called them to pray they love to praise they love to worship but they are now loving to pray and we are witnessing something altogether different in PA because now it's not your Billie Jean showers or your Clark's or Leicester Mangan's it's now the 19 and the 20 and the 21 year olds that are becoming the intercessory prayer warriors at PA we are finally getting it passed on to young people that want to do more than just get their thumbs worked up they want to get on their knees and go before God in prayer [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 24/7 prayer shifts Wednesday morning is our community prayer when the tabernacle is up we pray the tabernacle we have moms in prayer who now meet every week at the beginning of school year 17 our mothers in prayer went to every school in Rapides Parish and the day that school opened we had a team of parents and every school in Rapides Parish and we prayed over every one of our this parish the first time I've even preached about it a

in your congregation we give honor to you my friend for taking your church to prayer for twenty forty days for twenty four hours of prayer I give honor to you Lauren said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction he said we didn't pass it to our children in their bloodstream it must be fought for it must be protected and it must be handed for them to do the same ah one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like to live in the United States four men were free and I tell this shut in the spiritual you know past this home with DNA I wish we did I would have it made because of da investor but you don't get this through your bloodstream the thing that they have anything that these men of God have you pay a price for it you got to pray for it you got a fast line [Applause] Gentry okay pass it to you I can't pass it to you buddy I can't pass it in your bloodstream for you to get what Papa's got you're gonna have to have your own encounter if we don't the coming generation will just go into a spirit of decay and the power of our spiritual heritage will decay it must be preached it must be practiced it must be fleshed out it must be passed on or if not we're only one generation from being pagans extinct and totally oblivious you don't leave nothing undone from preaching the doctrine of the truth are praying if you just think they're gonna catch it by looking at it it won't happen we've got to preach it we've got to teach it we got to proclaim it we are saying [Applause] that those behind us call a safer our knowledge cannot exceed our experience I'd rather see a sermon any day than hear one I want to hear it and see it but I want to I want to experience that it was in Rapids general and my dad had had a stroke making our overseas and and they call being a catch a flight and family couldn't even fly with me Mike young Jeff was with me and and they couldn't fly with such a small town I got in a propeller airplane they flew me to Rome and I flew home when I got home dad lived another 14 days of those 14 days I spent eleven of those nights with him and Mike ill spent the other three nights with him and we got through him Sonny more than I preached and I went to Terry I said Terry you got it bud I said I'm going to my dad and I'm not leaving that room until God either raises him up or he's promoted and on Sunday afternoon I took my suitcase in my clothes and I walked in that room and if my memory doesn't fail me he died the following Thursday morning and if my memory doesn't fail me I think I went to the nurse's station one time but I stayed right by his side I wanted to be right there with him and I'll never forget on that Tuesday night before he died Wednesday night Sunday morning about 3:30 in the morning that left side was knocked out and his mouth was turned I'm over there trying to sleep I said I'm on the holiday he interrupted my sleep he's over and so I walked over to him and he was in a zone that I wasn't about to touch and he was connected with Almighty God and so when he got through I let him come down and go back to sleep my resting when he woke up we woke up about 5:30 in the morning I said dad what happened at 3:30 in the morning here he said I saw that place I said you saw what dad he said I got a glimpse of what it's like over there and I think I have my reason for that happening close up to that point daddy didn't want to go and I think daddy was powerful enough to talk God out of him leaving here so I think God had to show him how good it was over there so that he'd want to go there he didn't want to leave me he didn't we'll leave this church and and so he was he was there and I said daddy it was a going he said unbelievable place he said Anthony was gorgeous his mouth was turned so I opened up this now I said daddy you you looked at that city but look at them windows I said that city I said your mother walked in here 50 years I mean in 1950 and you said Northwind give up and Southwind give up and Eastwind give up and and Westwind give up I've come here to build a church I've come here to build a church of prayer and fasting and sacrifice and I said daddy you have shaken a city and I want you to know that he said yeah we did pretty good didn't we [Applause] he said get the family in here and he said get-get get as many as you want to get in here so we got it in there and and it was my mother and it was me and Mickey and it was my killing Jeff and it was gentry and if brother sister Tinian it was a whole church staff and he said only hands on you so he started and it was mothering and then me and Mickey and Jeff and Michael and Gentry and and then he got to some of our church staff and then he got to Terry and then he got to Melanie and he started laying hands on them and it was big old long fingers and brother-sister teeny laying on them he was passing on something the next morning at 3:30 at 3:06 God saw fit with me us standing by his side to promote him to the sunny banks of sweet deliverance but there was something placed in me on that morning with my father that is that I am going to teach people I'm going to talk to people stronger than ever about prayer no one to whom the great mediation of truth has been revealed is free to let it stop there as long as he or she may live every dispensation every generation is hanging on this generation and jetrel you hit it correct with Hebrews 12 they're watching us and I stand before is a dying man preaching the dying men and tell you we cannot afford to waste or neglect deny it or compromise it or bury this truth of fasting and worship and praise and giving and doctrine and separation it's got to be a part of us we cannot stop it in our generation hear me I am NOT gonna hand to you if I can live and these men are committed with me if we can live we're not going to hand you a layout of seeing lukewarm materialistic stingy selfish worldly minded fleshly beastly carnal system I don't want to give to these young people but to carnal saints and a bunch of carnal leaders and a bunch of carnal preachers we didn't get it was carnality when they get in were worldly message we got in through the power and the demonstration of the Holy Ghost [Applause] maybe seen it Peter said I will endeavour that you may be able after my decease to have these things brought to your remembrance we have not solid cunning devised fables when we made known unto you the power and the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ we didn't come to you and daddy used to say hocus pocus dominocus we came to you in the demonstration in the power of the Holy Ghost I want you young people to remember this congregation I would you remember the worship and praise and I want you to remember the worship that God gives us because I can give you an inheritance but with the heritage it's got to get inside of you and Paul poured it in to Timothy he said the husbandmen must burst first before taking the fruit then he said thou has known my doctrine you've known my manner of life you know my purpose you've known my faith you've known my long-suffering you know my charity you've known my patience then he tells you I fought a good fight I finished the course I kept the faith henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness we are linked with that generation Deuteronomy 34 and I'm beginning to close here in just a little bit but I won't be out preaching this year so maybe I preached four hours that's an hour for the four camp meetings and on Deuteronomy 34 the land Moses was allowed to see the mountain of Nemo it was there that God promised the patriarchs that land he was looking at Abraham Isaac and Jacob in Hebrew it means to see it with our eyes it was a symbol of acquisition property became legal in that day and time of the man that viewed it and Moses from that mountain looked over and he said I will never be able to get there but I can't claim it for the generations that are behind me and I want to say to you young people these men of God I preached for him and on Sunday night his wife would get on that organ and I would just see if they were singing climbing up the mountain anybody ever heard climbing up the mountain climbing up the mountain trying to reach the top if they sang that I didn't even study Sunday afternoon but a craft was an old church he'd take one row I'd take the other Road we'd walk to pews lay hands on people they get the holy Olson we'd go eat people got totally you'll save their life

down there under that tall tower they were doing street ministry and on the street people getting saved getting the holy oath baptize them in horse tanks we have seen great revival but I only tell you young people something in all my preaching I've never felt what I felt when I walked in the dome and in Annapolis in the end on Wednesday night and I talked 35,000 young people and our used Congress

that I'm preaching to you and I'm preaching to the 15-under Josiah was eight years old when he became King his father was a wicked King Iman but when he got 15 and 16 he got too tired the way he was living and the Bible said he began to see God and when he began to seek God when he was 20 years of age he wouldn't tore down all the idols and he started ripping in all the things in the temple and God began to move on him listen listen you're not a Pentecostal church at 26 years of age Josiah rebuilt the temple and when he went in that temple he found the Word of God quite amazing that the Word of God was lost in the house of God surely we can do more than tell stories when we walk to the pulpit surely this book is still alive let's don't lose the Word of God in the house of God [Applause] [Music] you maybe see who said don't worry about nothing don't you worry about I know you're young I know you're 27 years old you're 32 don't worry about nothing I got a prophet he's gonna be right

generation and you're gonna produce people like Daniel King Josiah produced a Daniel Daniel was the mouthpiece for Nebuchadnezzar Daniel then had Shadrach Meshach Abednego that all came out of a young

26 age is not the problem it's just prayer and desire [Applause] [Music] what is it a minute shifts and I close with this there's one more than my passion the elders here know what it is it's prayer and it's souls Paul shook his continent he said in Romans nine one through three I say the truth in Christ I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost but I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart for I could wish that myself for a curse from Christ for my brethren my kinsmen according the flesh Paul was a disciple in the prison Paul's a decipher and the government Paul's a disciple in the synagogue Paul was a disciple in the Church shopping center Paul was a disciples on the cypher on at MPC when a boat fell apart in two hundred and seventy-six Souls he said just grab you a piece of board God told me he's gonna be with us and then he nails the business of the church the wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses unto them have committed unto us the word of reconciliation now then we are ambassadors for Christ as though God did beseech you by us we pray you in Christ's stead be ye reconciled unto God for we must all stand before God at the judgment seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in their body according to what he has done Paul said knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men last week I tweeted out it will be preoccupation with the save at the expense of the lost that will be the death meal of the Apostolic Church that we are preoccupied with the say that the expense of the lost we quit the save to reach the loss I want to be a disciple maker I want to go to the highways and the byways I don't know build my church with people coming from across town I want to be on my church with sinners that's why I when it's cold I'm gonna be downtown as I was this year helping feed the poor I'm not gonna ask our church to go where I won't go so I'm gonna go where I can that's why occasionally I'll run a bus route that's why every Sunday morning Mickey steel runs a bus route I asked for the other day I said Mickey weird evaluation of our life here and I said Mick you've sung it to president's inauguration you've sung it every governor's inauguration since Edwin Edwards that's when Noah was on the ark and and I said what is the highlight and she said seven she said I'm addicted to addicts she said it's Souls and Mickey has run her life running bus routes when Gentry was a kid and Mykel were kids Mickey would go every Sunday morning she wouldn't send anybody she'd get in a van and she'd go down into the quarters and she'd pick up little african-american kids she'd bring them here and that's this church would Seiran place would be full in sunday morning they'd see this great singer when they got through Mickey went and got in her van took her bus kids home because souls that's all that matters it doesn't matter how good you can sing it doesn't matter how good you can preach [Music] [Music] I promised him done but William Booth was so emotionally upset at the drunks in the London gutter he could neither eat nor sleep for a week when Martin Luther saw a picture the crucifixion he cried out my God my god for me for me Charles Haddon Spurgeon not restoration was converted at age fifteen he preached his first sermon at 16 he pastored the largest church in London the Metropolitan Tabernacle at age 19 I had preached there he had many physical ailments and he fell into deep depression at times and he had rheumatic gout that eventually took his life at the age of 57 he said if sinners will be damned at least let them lead to hell over my dead body if they will perish let them perish with my arms around their knees begging them and pleading them to stay if hell must be filled at least let it be filled in the teeth of exertion and let not one go their unworn and on prayed for he would go to any length and Jesus said what he saw the multitude but he was made with compassion and studying that this week it means it was a twisting get reaching inside of him that one translation said it was like he was having a seizure when he looked on the lostness of mankind Jesus had a seizure philosophies Paul he lived 33 and a half years he died and rose again if we're gonna do his business he'll take care of our business if we'll take care of soul-winning he'll take care of our business Jen would you give me your chair just a minute would you throw that picture up here of dad please my dad preached an unknown soldier' message here it's one of the most impacting sermons you will ever remember but if you will remember he preached that message this is truth he said you reach look at me young people and passing on to you what was given to me he said you reads just as far as you can read stitches them hang on the truth he said but if you feel this hand slipping off of the doctrine and offered truth he said pull back from reaching and go back and get your grip back on this you said get you another good grip on truth and then you just start reaching as far as you can reach that other picture please come here Jenna they took it excuse me that's okay with it we'll go to that one you leave it right there but gently I went out to his grave I took Ginny out there on our birthday with our birthday dinner together and we stood at
