"Someone Is Hanging On You" - Matthew Tuttle - Western District Youth Convention 2018

a may an Esther chapter four and so thankful for the great privilege I love to preach the word of the Lord Esther 4 and 14 you should be there by now if you're there shout amen if you're still looking say I'm gonna look at the screens there you go for if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise I'm gonna pick up this water here and make the microphone squeal that was cool too the Jews from another place but thou in thy father's house shall be destroyed and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this for such a time as this familiar passage of Scripture as we talk about the life of Esther here tonight but I want to title my message this evening someone is hanging on you look at your neighbor and say someone is hanging I want you to take your hand and lay it on your heart because I believe the most challenging person to pray for and believe for is yourself but as we conclude this this meeting I believe the Lord wants to conclude it with the commitment that you will make tonight that will not only affect you but will affect hundreds if not thousands yay even the world so lay your hand on your heart and I want you to pray for you come on I want you to let hell hear your voice speaking promise and favor and faith over you whatever it is you want to receive go ahead and begin to speak it if you need direction I want you to speak direction if you need victory come on over whatever it is you speak victory joy Lord right now in the name of Jesus Christ I've come to you once again humbled by the wonderful privilege you've afforded me again to stand before your people and to declare father the word of the Lord I pray father that you would help me my words will come quickly even though my kind of tired sand I don't me to do a good job I'm not satisfied to leave this convention father the same way I came but I'm I'm desperate father to walk out of the doors challenged by the word of the Lord convicted encouraged but father most importantly I've got to be changed don't leave me the same anointment God from the top of my head to the very soles of my feet the conclusion of it all I will have given all and I will give you all the praise and the wonderful name of Jesus and together we shout in Jesus name why don't we put our hands together and give that name a great praise all across the house tonight come on let's give him a great praise hallelujah praise the Lord and praise the Lord thank you for standing you can be seated if you promise to stand up again amen during the preaching and we'll start them a little timer so when my wife asked how long I preach I can tell her but I promise you it'll be shorter than your favorite Hollywood movie I won't preach that long y'all getting a little nervous now aren't children in the beginning John writes in his first chapter of the of his book that in the beginning was the word of the logos in the beginning was the logos this word logos means plan plan is basically what it means and so in the beginning he lets us know scripture lets us know that there was a plan God God did not create man he did not create the world he he did not create the universe on a whim he did not make man on some notion just flippantly said oh I'm gonna do this no but but according to scripture he made man he planned it out everything we see in the universes we said of study the manner in which it was created we see the meticulous detail and the intricacies of it all and we realized that that this was created by an intelligent design by a God and David said in my mother's womb you knit me together in Psalms he says you you know my very frame it is tonight young person that I've come to remind you that you cannot believe the lie from the science teacher or the the Hollywood actor or the liberal professor or the politician that tries to declare your value is as nothing you are not an accident you are not here because of the Big Bang and you turn into this little glob of guca that turned into a fish that turned into a monkey and you walked in here tonight without a tail own baby that no no no no no no no no no no no that is a lie come on the world's confused as to why our generation acts like animals because they've been telling you you're an animal your whole life but ladies and gentlemen my dear young people you are not the result of an accident you are the Timon you're here because of intention because of a dog divine Hannah that spent holy time in your mother's room knitting every part of you together and the way you look and the way that you act and your personality it's not an accident it's on purpose you've got a purpose for your life you were made with the mission don't send me out sitting there looking waiting for me to get to the good part this is the good part it's downhill from here come on somebody God's got a plan for your life a purpose and a mission in a world of young people searching for a reason to live I can walk in to Western District come ona youth conviction saying I know why I'm here I know why I'm alive there's a plan for my life I I was fearfully and wonderfully made look at your neighbor and say I've got a purpose I've got a purpose so as I study purpose and specifically in the life of Esther find three steps or components into fulfilling one's purpose begins with preparation you must be willing to prepare yourself then you must be patient then the time will come where you must perform and so we find tonight and we read and reintroduce ourselves to this this biblical legend this hero in the Bible a lady anybody that tells you that God doesn't use ladies is a liar because I'm so glad that God uses ladies or he we wouldn't had Jesus because he used Mary the mother of Jesus I'm I'm glad come on I'm glad to use Esther and Deborah and if you're hearing God's called you as a young lady let me tell you that call of God is real on your life so we find this this famous young lady by the name of Esther original name is Vanessa and it's famous no doubt you've heard the story how many of you have heard the story of Esther before all right there's about 17 people it's gonna be a long night I'll complaining about me preaching along y'all don't read the manual at home if y'all read the manual at home I can just reference stories and then we can get out of here a whole lot quicker how many of you ever heard the story Esther before now some of you lie and you just want me to get done quick you know Esther said in the Persian Empire was a massive Empire with 127 different states and the king of this Persian empires name was a has you eros and we're introduced here in the in the book of Esther there's a party going on and he has brought together all of the governors of the various states and he is he's been displaying and showing his power and might to them and in and at the conclusion of this this this party or whatever you'd want to call it he has a grand finale and in a drunken stupor and drinking and whatnot he he says I'm gonna show you my queen of that sky and at that time it was vest I and we know how that then vest I refuses to County she does not heed the call of the king and and there's different ideas as to why she didn't come we're not here to debate why she didn't come tonight but but what we're here to do is look at the results of the fact that she did not respond when she did not come at the calling of the king the King's advisors got very nervous and they went to the king and they said mister king we got to do something huh because if this one lady stands up to you that it could reach into every household in your kingdom and all the other ladies can stand up against their husbands and rebellion will begin to spread whether she did it for right or she did it for one wrong what I want you to understand is the power of just one person taking a stand in the kingdom one young man what let me tell you hell's afraid sure he's afraid of 2,000 young people but he's equally afraid of one young lady that'll stand up for righteousness he's just afraid come ona and maybe I can't get every one of you tonight but if one of your leaves consecrated to the calls having come on accepted the calling of God upon your life that we can go out of this place dancing because one person can make a difference Oh preacher I don't know I don't have the courage the courage to to get a bullhorn out and preach on my high school but what's so interesting about this time is that she affected her generation she stirred up trouble in the king's palace not by what she did but what by what she refused to do let me tell you something young people what we do is dangerous but there's also a great testimony in the things that we don't do tales chesticles hails just as scared of what we don't do as it is of what we do you you might not have the courage to preach at your high school but you show it up not laughing at the dirty joke come on hail gets nervous hell gets nervous when you say no to the party hell gets nervous when you walk in and say I don't cut my hair I don't wear that I don't he said there's seven thousand they didn't preach they just stood they just stood I wish I had a generation of young people that would make up their mind I'm gonna go home preach a sermon but I'll stand up in my high school and I'll live righteously live separated under gun that's why Heil attacks your holiness that's what Hales trying to get you to cave in come on just do it just do it I'm not gonna do it I'm gonna be a light in a dark oh I wish I had a young man and you can you can't live for God come on guys it's last night I gotta stand the whole sermon some of y'all reclined all you need is some popcorn you look too comfortable you can do it in 2007 to 18 in Western District young people all preacher you're just you're just 36 you're an old guy out there bald and you don't know what we're going through you don't go to high school well when I was a young person it wasn't that long ago I was raised on the mission field in a city called Amsterdam anybody heard of Amsterdam y'all think you got it bad y'all just legalize drugs we were the first one to legalize him you buy him off a menu prostitution my friends went to the horse when they were 16 years old you pick him out from behind a window man woman mix whatever you want every one of them section it was it was it was a very it was the most wicked and liberal city in the world that's where I was raised and guess what when we had when we had the Dutch national youth convention you know many young people came to youth convention that I attended as a teenager to me and my sister so there was no dating going on it was a it was a no dating convention I had 25 other young people I sure wouldn't be sitting there like I was in my lazy boy recliner they all smoke they all drew they all grow joints and did had sex and all of that but let me tell you something I stand here tonight and I'm gonna let you know I've never smoked a cigarette I've never drank a drop of alcohol I was a virgin on my wedding night oh you're up there bragging yep I'm bragging I'm bragging on the goodness of God to let you know in Western District 2018 if I can live for God come on in Amsterdam you can live for God in Visalia Bakersfield in San Francisco in Eureka you can live for God said that if I can do people by myself so the Kings advisers and the king he expels that night from his kingdom and says you've got to get out of here there's there's no place you go you got to go now the King has no Queen and I'm going quickly he has no Queen and so the the advisor comes up with this plan this advisor whoever this advisor was he got a raise genius plan he says oh mr. king here's what we're going to do we're going to go to all of the 127 provinces we're going to find only the most beautiful women and we're gonna bring them before you and you are going to select whichever one you want but the Sullivans thinking man who do I need to talk to come on brother Sullivan I mean if Bishop Morgan came up to you said I look man I got a plan we're gonna go to all the sections while we doing this little sectional conference stuff and I'm gonna check out all and I'm only gonna get the most beautiful ones we're gonna bring him before you you can just come on Tyler Sullivan be like you you are Bishop for life where you don't have to preach anymore the Kings like where is my ring where is my ring stamp that idea before something changes genius idea so they do it they go out they get the most beautiful women they they they find amongst these women a Jewish girl that's a shrub that's her name she is is is here and she's entered into this contest and if there was ever a person that had a reason not to fulfill their calling and purpose it would have been this girl because this girl's parents had been murdered most likely in warfare perhaps we don't know but perhaps her mother she'd watched her mother didn't write be raped and her father be killed before her very eyes we we don't know we just know she didn't have a dad and she didn't have a mom and and raised now by a relative as an orphan grown up raised up always tall just a lesser and it is her that could say you know what there's no way God would use me because my parents are you know they're dead and they're not this but I've come to preach to a young person in the Western District to tell you the daughter doesn't look at your pedigree he's looking at your destiny he's looking at the family tree he's looking at your future and and he saying I can use you I don't care if your daddy's a painter or if your monavie's a preacher it doesn't matter if your mom come on shows for a living or she [Music] [Music] you've got no excuse that goes both ways just because your daddy is a preacher come on now hey I'm six generation pity cause my dad's got an office in

the king when he saw her it was love at first sight now they introduced me and said some nice things about me but they missed the most important thing because see ladies and gentlemen I'm in love at

girl that's too worried about her hair girls avoid the boys and get a guy whose eyes are bloodshot his hair's messed up after an apostolic prayer meeting get a box and you live a good [Music] that's how you get the right one don't be unequally yoked together this isn't in my notes but boy it's right where y'all are see it say he says don't be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever I believe that's more than just being linked up with a sinner he says you better measure whoever you're looking at faith you see there's measures of faith there's little faith there's great faith and if God has called you to great things don't leave Chuck with somebody that shallow he says don't link up with somebody that's an under believer don't get somebody safe I've seen more ministries ruined cuz they married the wrong girl I'm not lying me and my wife are driving down the car and I'm saying if that girl would have just married that other dude they'd be dynamic for the kingdom of God but they thought they was in love and they didn't listen to their pastor and they were new better than their moms and dads and they couldn't be submitted now they're tortured for life baby let me tell you something you better find a pastor that loves you enough to say it ain't Sally Suzie ain't Johnny no no break it off you can't say that's greater than that person you're dating [Applause] whoo you got to get the right one when you're down here at the altar tonight you better check them bleachers if she's in it break up via text who cares put it on Facebook change your status and don't let her know she becomes queen she's a good Queen at some point she even saves the King's life and and she is elevated in the king's house but as she is elevated in chapter 2 we see in chapter 3 that Haman or the enemy is elevate let me tell you something the reason God elevates the church is because he understands there's an elevation from hell and I know hell seems to have been elevated here in our midst but there has been a church in a bride that has already been positioned to it the number 2 come on the number 2 power in our world is not hail the number 2 power in the world is the charge you've got power over hell stop letting Haman badmouth we've got the power there's a level of faith in our generation that's greater than any generation before cuz there's a greater hell and a greater devil and more evil than ever before so she's a good clean been elevated hell is being promoted in chapter 3 now and gets to the place where you know the story Haman who is symbolic it's kind of a type of Satan in this screenings and and he has this devious plan hates Mordecai he hates the man that will not worship him and so he says you know what if you're not gonna worship me I'm gonna destroy and kill all of the Jewish people now you must remember that Mordecai has instructed Esther he said do not let anybody know you're a Jew keep it concealed he didn't even know what he was speaking but the Lord was speaking through him - for her future and Mordecai receives word of Haman's decree that all of the Jews will be killed and the Bible says when he gets it he rinses clothes and he becomes very sorrowful but in that moment he he gets a revelation for in verse 8 of chapter 4 he says take the writing of the decree that was given as Shushan to destroy them and show it unto Esther to declare unto her and to charge her that she should go in unto the King to make supplication unto him and to make request before her people he said you you Esther you are in the palace and this is your purpose she was the queen she was in position but the position was not the purpose God had positioned her as Queen to fulfill the purpose of saving her generation don't you ever confuse position with purpose there's a lot of people that think well when I get that position that's what my purpose is but your purpose is not linked to the position the position is linked to the purpose and if you're living with the position as your goal you'll end up bitter you'll end up angry cause you might not get the position but if you get it or you don't it doesn't matter cuz come on wherever you're at that's where God needs you to be to fulfill what God has called you to be now now you gotta understand Esther is in Queens she's number two she's got a position she's the main thing she's preaching listen distributive if she's owned I mean she's it however she did not it was unable to understand and find her purpose in life she attained the position but she had to have a man tell her the purpose let me tell you and remind you something everyone under the sound of my voice that there never comes a physician in your life where you no longer need a pastor in your life that's what Mordecai was he went up tester and said Esther I know you're the queen but I know why you're really here you're not here to look cute and wear crowns and be blessed and have all the monetary benefits of the kingdom no no it's bigger than that I know what you're calling your to be more than just a little future Brett Weston district youth Convention to be more than looks cute what driving your little car and having a blessed life you're here to save the world you'll never fulfill your purpose without submission to your man of God you gotta have a preacher you gotta have a pastor you gotta have somebody that can look at you and say I know why you're here I know what your calling is ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do go ahead and talk devil well he ain't no better than me that's the attitude to hell see hell never wanted to be over heaven just wanted to be equal with him he said I will ascend into the most sign I will be like unto I just want to sit next to him ain't nobody gonna be over me ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do go ahead and die without fulfilling what God called you to do but what you got to realize when you're dying you have also cost others their lives we got this little Lone Ranger mentality slipping into our charts now hey I know it's in every other Church and they can stay at home and and get their blessing on the home the TV in and send their ties in via the internet the baby that ain't the calling of the true church that ain't the calling of you you are called to be a servant of God and you begin by being a servant to that man I don't well I'm big now and I got this and I'm making money I got my own job and I got my position you gotta have somebody that looks at you and says Bubba there's a toilet brush in there the toilets are dirty and your purpose is to clean the toilet there's this Sunday School class and you need to be teaching it you ought to give God praise for the manna God you ought to give God praise for your past and you will know you're submitted when he asked you to do things that could kill you see you guys are all submitted when he's asking you to sing the special but the test of your submission is when you're asked to clean the bathrooms when you're asked to be on time for prayer meeting where are you then miss Esther Esther's replied Esther says in verse 11 all the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that whosoever whether man or woman that comes in the kings in her court there that's not called there's a law to put him to death except to whom he holds out the golden scepter and I've not been called mordecai pastor i hear you telling me that you say you say that i'm told to the mission field but do you know what that's gonna cost me I've already got my degree in my future lined up I've already got a job accepted I'm gonna make a hundred fifty thousand on that job I'm already in school cause it's gonna cost me something to do let me tell you there's always a cost that comes with every calling but thank God for a man of God that's more worried about your purpose that here's your pocketbook more worried about your future then here's your finance and then you know what the preacher look back at her and said in verse 13 Mordecai said answer Esther tell her this stop thinking about yourself that you're going to escape more than all the Jews you know what he said he said baby you must have forgot who you are when you start forgetting you forget who you are you'll sell out cheap when you start getting an entitlement mentality well I'm in the king's house and I've got a road and I've got a crown and my name is Esther and I'm blessed in the king you got your ties you better never forget who you are and where you came from cuz friend underneath the royal robes of your garment there's a sinner say breathe out and the moment you forget where you came from is the moment you fail to fulfill your purpose that's why every time the drums are beaten every time I get a chance I'm blessing the Lord why need revelation I just got a realization of who I was I should be laying in a gutter I'm not you good to shout I'm not you good to clap I'm not you good to roll when you walked out they know you were in the house of God they know you were in the presence of the king they know you know who you are and what you deserve and once you realize where you could've been should've been and what you really deserve you start saying things like this go get all the Jews thank you for praying for me to the king which is not according to the law are you ready to die for the call of God upon your life what maybe it doesn't cost your dream maybe your idea maybe your plan has to die but if it dies when y'all can't even own the shell oh I'll give my life thank you chop my head off go ahead take it off baby come on if you can't get excited at the pep rally you ain't gonna make it in the ball game you ain't gonna make you in hell that's why when we get together we're here - come on we're here to be who we are we're here to be apostolic come talkin holy rollers that's who we are we're excited why does this could cost me something ah this is costing me a little pride she said ah I know my purpose she had prepared herself for it then she said let's let's go in let's go in let's go in let's go in and prepare she said I'm not I'm not gonna go in the first day I got the call I'm gonna take some time and pray and fast take a little time and be patient let me tell you something about your purpose the greatest challenge is not when you're called it's exhilarating tonight when God reaches down into your life and calls you to divine purpose and gives you specifics on what you're going to do for the kingdom it's it's wonderful you're going to feel a sense of exhilaration you're going to want to post it all over the internet I encourage you that's fine okay talk to your pastor do that get excited but where most people fail is not while they're preparing and they're receiving that call or even when they're performing it but it's right there while they're waiting for it to happen in the desert because that's what will come you will be called to teach a Sunday School class and you'll wait for it you'll be called to preaching you get frustrated because the mic don't come to you fast enough you get bitter and angry you got this vision and what it was supposed to be and it didn't happen on your time cuz you don't work for you on your time he works for you good utilizing your time so what do you do how do you prevent how do you prevent bitterness from creeping into your heart while you're waiting how do you prevent it how do you I'll tell you what you do you do it like John the Baptist and see when John was you were introduced to him before he's ever even born he's just in the preparation he's just in the patient stages of being developed in his Mama's belly anybody remember Mama's name what was momma's name y'all need to read the handbook you don't know John the vet two people know Elizabeth yeah y'all been y'all were whispering it to each other Elizabeth he's up in his mama's room and he comes in contact with his purpose Mary this is my purpose however he could not perform what he was being called to do at that time because he was inside the womb of preparation he would love to have been born at that moment a beginning begin to declare there's one coming after me but the truth the torso was too heavy for the small legs and the phalanges were not yet completely developed in form it couldn't be utilized for what he was so he was there in the womb of preparation but in the womb of preparation instead of moping and groping and complaining about why he couldn't be born yet and he couldn't preach you know what he began to do he began to do ministries you never get the I wish I had somebody that could praise God not because you're in your purpose but because you know you got one can I have somebody just do a little spin just you got a purpose give a little shout because you are being told [Applause] look at your neighbors hang out a purpose I'm gonna close that doesn't make music should come it's still gonna be awhile come on they stand up for hours to hear Donald Trump talk to him don't you be complaining because you had to stand a few minutes to hear the King of Kings talk to you when I close with a little illustration because I've brought you to youth Convention you are then the nail but you never say I'm the nail so I have this nail and this nail as you here's a little pop quiz what's this I know let's give the boys a chance and see how the public education system is faring in California what's this a nail just so you know they got it on the first try in Texas the nail is you look at your neighbors say the nail is me I'm the nail I've also brought your relationship with Jesus Christ it's represented by this 4x4 let's give him a chance because the neighbors say the 4x4 is your relationship with Jesus Christ okay so what's this come up the stairs come up the stairs I give you the smartest lady at you Western District Youth Convention give it up what's your name what glory are you single she's single ladies and gentlemen [Applause] your relationship and you and you have to get in to God you can try on your own but it's gonna take I got to have to find it hopefully you no one stole it this whole thing shop got it whoever told you that living for Jesus was easy lied to you whoever told you was tiptoeing through tulips and daisies and all this good yeah it's the best life you're ever living but everything good in my life didn't come easy when it came easy I ended up in a gutter when it came easy I had heartbreak but when everything big and everything good it was like it hurt me a little bit I had to stand a little longer in an altar but when you submit and you get down and you're willing well I wish I had somebody that remembers the first night you begin to speak with other tongues do you remember when you got in when you went down in a watery grave in the name of Jesus do you remember when how can you remember standing still you remember change you're in and I'm excited about it however it's interesting to note how shallow you are I dare say you could go deeper I dare say you can you can you could push into this place faster and you can advance and launch in into this place beyond you can get into this realm where there is no bottom where there is no height oh there is there's this place in God beyond the struggle beyond the pain there's this place of infinity and yet and yet and yet as much as we preach to you about it you settle for shallow you could be so much deeper but you're satisfied and being shallow and I'm wondering why why would you not just go deeper why would I not just push into the realm of the miserable why why would I stay oh yeah I'll tell you why here's why here's why it's easy to get out when you're shallow you can come to youth convention and you can't allocate 16 times and jump on the front row and you can get in whoa sheikha Moza kick the devil in the eye I'm so holy God is so good I mean I'm in but then you conventions over and we gotta go to school and you just let your down and say now I'm preaching to somebody you got two lives you're shallow you got two different wardrobes in two

shall well but then you got your buddies yo man what's up yeah come on let's go hit it man I got some Tupac you know he's really not dead that's all just fiction right Elvis him and Elvis got a party going on I mean come on somebody to playlist two lives two wardrobes you're doing the switch of a room real quick cuz you got to go to church in it yeah and you're out yeah and you're out you and you can't seem to make up your mind but you know what's amazing about it for you it's been working I mean we need to get this guy on a chair you're shallow it's where you live two different lives you can

and everything wrong with the church and everybody's business that you shouldn't be knowing you got it talking in your head you know it all you know you know but but what you don't realize is that while you're satisfied was shallow there's some things that hang on you that are fragile things there in the womb for your young there in the womb of preparation young lady what's being prepared inside of you as a ministry but it's a ministry like none before for in this room tonight there are young men and young ladies that are in this room that will have ministries that will see the dead raised you will see blinded eyes open you will see the deaf ears begin to be unstopped you will pray through you will speak words of faith and not hundreds but hundreds of thousands will be filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost speaking with other tongues you you inside this building there's the ministry that will reach an intercessory prayer that will spend days in a prayer room pushing back darkness in cities and nations that have yet to be opened in the supernatural in this room is the next greatest preacher in this room stands the next Western District you present in this room ministries that will change the world and those ministry hang themselves on you but that's not all young man you've got you've got more dangling on you tonight because I know we're really excited because we have 2500 or whatever 2000 people in this building we're like we're so big no we're not there's 7 billion people in the world but you're the generation that looks at a North American Youth Congress of 35,000 and says I can have that in my city that can be my youth I declare that this should not just be our kernel this shouldn't be the youth district you can this should be our sectional Youth Conference this should be your youth room why not you're part of us you're part of a youth ministry that's not just some people to get together and eat teach and have a good time but you're a part of the youth ministry that lives will walk in that broken heart mode teenagers are gonna walk in thinking suicide they're gonna walk out thinking ministry you're part of a youth group you're a vital part of a youth ministry that's a team of people that are establishing the kingdom of God in this gym and you are valuable you are not you are not just some random person but the divine hand of God has put you together with whoever it is you're linked up with in that group you're not just 10 or 20 or 15 people no no no no no no no you are a group that God is retain fragile but one day you will be a mighty mighty army you will be a force net huh but yeah but you're in the in the womb of preparation being prepared for what God has for you and and when you miss prayer we notice when you don't show up for youth outreach there's a giant hole oh I'm not that important yes you are or you wouldn't be here tonight with a select few that God is ordained in this ministry this fragile ministry that will one day revolutionize the world this youth ministry that will impact your community III think you guys think I say things just to get you excited I don't have to I don't just say them I truly believe that one day this will be a youth auditorium I'm gonna speak it over this Convention Center in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that every seat will be filled not with the young people from then come on not with the young people from our district but the young people from this city let them come in and find oh the biggest thing come on if they can fill up a football stadium for a game that doesn't guarantee a victory we can put up a Coliseum for a guaranteed victory I believe with my whole heart that your ministry will impact the world and what I've spoken was led by the Lord I've prophesied I believe under the direction of the Holy Ghost over you specifically some of you reached up and received that word as it was coming forth just moments prior to this we have spoken prophetically over this building and over your youth ministry and they matter to me greatly however I preached the entire message 50 minutes so far for this single one I'll spend my Friday night sure I'd rather have your dancing right now but I've come for this one because this is the one that matters to me I'm 36 years old I got four kids makalah's 11 Savannah's 9 Lewis is 6 and Eaton is 4 and my coolness is on the decline I'm balding getting grey and when they become teenagers and even now they I'm just an old man I'm not cool to them but do you want to know who is [Applause] yeah you're cool you're cool you're cool to them you're cool to those when we're at home here I want you to do my hair I don't like your ball in the backyard somebody's here oh there's tools look Adam cuz they hang on you not me they hang on you they hang on what you do and well how you dress it how you act and what you do and what you don't do they're dangling on you their destinies linked to you but but but you're satisfied to be shallow you're satisfied to just be halfway in not all the way it's worked out pretty good for you but what you gotta realize is that there is an adversary scripture says who roams to and fro come on in the bishop Senate this afternoon there's some weights it's not all Sienna but there's some weights and he is preparing a destiny of lights for you sin and weight that are prepared let me tell you something when he hangs it on you it will be a pivotal time he'll trade years for a moment and that moment didn't just happen that moment was planned it was strategically planned by the adversary into sports I'm gonna know more about about Steph Curry than they do Jesus Christ and and they're gonna know all the statistics to the ballgames but they won't be able to clone any scriptures from the Bible and they'll know all the songs on the country station but they won't know anything about Jesus and I will lay them down I will get it so they gotta be a practice instead of prayer meeting and you don't have to clap you don't have to shout what you gotta do is get them wrapped up in lust looking at stuff for their lesson and they're gonna watch it and watch it until they start doing it with my girlfriend yeah what do you expect when you've got an instruction DVDs hanging from your mental when all you do is watch sex sex sex and perversion on the screen and you think you're gonna go out and live holy and righteous you've been deceived by hell ladies and gentlemen how are you gonna watch perversion and Lee appear it's a trick it's a trap it's a trap cuz he knows if I get it in their mind I'll get him in the backseat of the car and at that moment what they've already played in their mind a million times will come easily cuz there's no there's no fear of the Lord I'm not gonna lie when I was a teenager it wasn't like I didn't want to be out kissing at having sex and I was scared to death truth is I I was a little sheltered and that's okay the cool guy is not the dude that knows everything about pornography and sex the cool guy is a guy that's kind of clueless the girl you gotta get your eyes off the world sad no evil thing before you it begins to cleave to you and become part of who you are until it becomes who you are weigh them down and there will be things external that are not your fault then there's the family conflict mom and dad start fighting worse than they ever did you you're caught in the middle they split up and he's got you thinking it's your fault if you would have been a better kid if you wouldn't have said this or that it's a lie it's a lie it's a lie the bag is filled with lies the lies that that athletics will bring you stardom and sexual bring you will bring you love is because of you and your fault but the day will come the day will come the day will come music it's the day of your demise is already already planned you've got a hey Bob I don't think you should be a part of the ball game cuz you're missing church too much hey Bob you need to throw away some of that junk it's distracting you from your destiny but it's worth this long being shallows behind this long but it will come the day of reckoning as hell puts its weight and he begins to rock your world and all of a sudden through the rocking of your world it crashes to the ground of what could have been a powerful Ministry of what could've revolutionized the world you were too cool to cry you were too hip to shout hallelujah but you got a preacher tonight that says I need a generation of young people that do more than bounce six times to a base that get on their face and make up them [Music] gudiya my shot I am I I know some of you wait for cute little song for me to get up how to pray you should already be on your face here's the hammer [Music] come on what's a the generation do you need a change to cry I'm not talking about you praying with your friend right now I'm talking about you're praying for yourself I'm talking about convictions that are being born in this meeting convictions that will carry you through your life it's personal conviction God's gonna tell you to give up some stuff ain't gonna be it's gonna be late tonight God is gonna pull you to change your plan you need to get with the man of God and make up your mind I'll change the plan someone's hanging on you Western District Youth your eyes
