just come down and throw it at the altar lay it down at the altar you don't have to get on your face you don't have to kneel just dump it here and then go back to your seat now as you're coming you're

throwing you just our [Music] [Music] Jesus ever understand it [Music] he's [Music] so glad Oh [Music] I just want to do one more song if I can find it you know God has a way of just making a mess out of you Paul was the first one to write about it when he said well what I thought I was going to do I'm not going to no I didn't say that did he well actually Paul could have said that he could have said I thought I was going to persecute the Christians I didn't make it God messed it all up God is so willing to just mess us up if we let him and I don't know about you but I make such a mess without God I'd like for him to mess up the mess up that I'm making because when I think it's right it's usually a mess and when I think God messes up it turns out right Paul thought he was doing the right thing getting rid of these pesky Christians God messed that up good real good and I believe God is trying to interrupt if we let him he's trying to interrupt our church service now if we can let him do that if we can let go of control long enough we just might see God show up now for those of you who have never let god interrupt and take control it's a little scary at first you can wind up looking like a real fool [Music] and some how cool is not in the equation God has a way of taking your cool and making you look like a fool God has a way of taking all the plans you've laid for your life and backing them up and turning them around to the point you don't even recognize what they are anymore but when he hands them back to you somehow it's just what you wanted [Applause] and you know that's so much like him cuz why would it be that the man who created us don't you think he would have a good idea of what we need if he made us he knows what we need when we don't know what we need he knows what we need one thing I think we need but I'm not sure matter of fact I'm almost sure just in case you've got other plans on sort of shore I used to be real sure but now I'm kind of sure no I think we need a revival but you may have something else in mind and whatever you've got in mind we'll take it stay with me I'm almost done I've got a point to make just give me just a second I'm gonna make it and we're gonna sing and I'm gonna shut up have you ever walked into a restaurant that had a chef anybody ever done now I'm not talking about a greasy cook ain't talked about McDonald's now well Burger King where you can have it your way and you really don't get it your way I'm not talking about when you call it to go order and you say please don't put so-and-so on my burger and it comes with everything that you didn't want and they say sorry I'm talking about one of those restaurants when you got a guy back there and a little hat and a little thing and he's cooking it as you order it you know that you know I'm talking about and you've eaten there several times and you already know that all the food is really really good so so you know you get to where you're real comfortable to walk in and say you know what surprise me because you probably know what's good and I'm not sure what I need or what I want I've learned something in this survival I've learned that what I think I want isn't really what I need and I've learned that there is a father who's concerned up above with everything everything that affects me every little fiber of my being he made it and he knows what I need when I'm hungry when I'm walking through the house and I feel lonely for some strange reason and I've got people all around me but I feel lonely inside what I have to do is go to him and say father there's something in me I need something and I know it comes from you and you know what I don't even have to tell him what it is I just said you know you're the chef that put together this recipe hello and you know when it's not quite right when it needs a little more of this and a dash of that Here I am God hallelujah [Applause] because he's moving in this world he's moving now and you sense it how many of you don't raise your hand token I hate that I hate that no brain everybody I like black yes we do to like red yeah sometimes we do that when we get in church let's don't do that but how many of you really really sense in your spirit that God's up to something you honestly sense God is up to something there is something if you're not a believer here tonight you know something's not quite right either but with the last year so there's just something inside that just keeps calling out to God and saying God something's coming and what I want I got to have more of you I need Lord I need to witness to my neighbors like I never have before God I need to do the things that you've called me to be about more than I ever have before because something on the inside and whenever you try to settle back into complacency something on the inside says no you won't because God's stirring you know what I'm talking about well there's something in the Bible that says in the last days saith god I'll pour out my spirit on all flesh I believe he's pouring it out and I say to you father for all of us here tonight Lord we're so willing god we don't want our plans anymore we don't want our schemes anymore we don't want our ideas anymore we are starving to death for you and we've said all this tonight just to let you know we trust you completely to do whatever's needed Lord but God change us God you are not an unfaithful father that you would put a hunger in our heart and then deny us what we hunger for and Lord we hunger for you fill us up Lord [Applause] God don't let us miss out on what you're doing don't let us miss what you're doing Lord whatever you're doing we want to be right in the middle of it right in the middle of because your move [Music] you're moving oh let's sing too you're the land [Music] [Music] golly [Music] [Music] fancy coming [Music] visions [Music] in the sky [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] how many believe God's moving [Applause] hey what we having child happy tap turkey and but about six years ago I've been working and working and working and praying and crying and preaching as hard as I could and just wasn't seeing what I what I expected to see and I was real frustrated and I was about to term throw in the towel in youth ministry I was about to just you know do something else maybe be a pastor or or just get out of ministry I was just really frustrated and I was still being faithful to the Lord I was still keeping my devotions and everything else and but I just I was just frustrated because I just wasn't wanting to see and what I wanted to see and I'll never forget the morning whenever I was praying and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and he said turn to psalms 24 6 I had not the foggiest idea what Psalms 24-6 said and I turned to Psalms 24 6 and the verse of scripture says this it says this is the generation that shall seek Him that shall seek his face and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and he said Richard I've already had a generation that sought me for what I could do for them they sought my hand he said but there's a generation that's arising and if you'll hang in there you're gonna see a generation that's gonna seek me and seek my face they're not gonna care about what I can do they're gonna care about Who I am and I have never seen and in all my years I would have never dreamed to see what I've got had the privilege to see in the last three and a half getting close to four years now with teenagers I've seen teenagers who are hungry for a move of God who are hungry for the face of God who listen I've watched teenagers by the hundreds and I've watched teenagers by the hundreds weep and wail and travail before God not for five minutes or ten minutes but for hours on end crying uncontrollably for their schools and for the lost friends I've watched teenagers listen I I'll preach the teenagers every week by the hundreds and that and I preached no less than an hour if you came to my youth service this week you know for the last two weeks I've preached over two hours each week to teenagers just and I'm preaching a hard friend I'm not telling a little fun things I'm telling things it's hard to hear you know and and but let me tell you something this generation is so sick and tired of the lies of the of the trash I'm not talking about the world I'm talking about in the church here over saying they're sick and tired of us beating around the bush and and not telling the way it is they want it the way it is they want purpose they want truth they want the glory of God in their life and one of the things I love about my teenagers is what you see is what you get you know my teenagers will tell you I cannot stand hypocrisy I cannot say you know personally I don't even like Christian concerts I just don't like Christian concerts I'm not against him I just don't like them because I see so many Christian concerts they do nothing but promote hypocrisy forgive me if you're a Christian artist if you like that stuff but this is the way I see it and I'm not against it but I'm just saying I've seen this so many times they'll pate they'll pay thousands of bucks to bring some band in some big band and they'll fill a Coliseum with thousands of kids and they'll play a few music you songs and get the kids all excited and somebody comes with microphone they go oh let's do it having that house tonight for Jesus and all the kids that's me right I call me five minutes after the concerts over there at McDonald's standing in line to get them a hamburger and there's somebody next to them practically begging them to tell him about Jesus and they get lockjaw friend they're not a radical for Jesus they're a hypocrite is what they are they're caught up in the emotionalism and friend one of the things I love about my teenagers is what you see is what you get I'm so proud of them but all the time going after the Lord and now I just want to I just want to let a couple of my teenagers share my testimony what God's doing and these teenagers are in our high schools they're going after God the leading people of Jesus they're there they're constantly speaking it to the students I want I want Leila Roberts to come up here real quick related just came to us not too long ago how long have you been with this now a year and a half Leila wants you share with us what the Lord's done for you Pras attrition go ahead well when I came here I was I came here kicking and screaming I don't want to be here I knew I lived with my mom and I knew like I was like in the world I was partying doing drugs blah blah blah but um I knew my dad was gonna take me to that church I didn't want to be there I was like no because I don't want to change my life because I like what he was saying I've seen so much hypocrisy in the church and I didn't want to go to church and not live for Jesus but I didn't want to I didn't want to live for Jesus at the time so I just didn't want to be in church anyways he took me down here and I fought with the Lord for like a month and I was like well I don't know what I'm gonna do my life's basically over I can't party with my dad cuz he just basically would lock me up in my room if I tried and um and finally I was like okay Lord I'm gonna try this I'm gonna give you my whole heart and I'm gonna go after you it doesn't matter what it takes I'm gonna go after you I'm not gonna care what people my school think of me I used to really care if I was gonna be popular and stuff but none of that matters because he died I mean did he care if people liked him if he was popular come on no he didn't he wasn't like oh what are these people gonna think about my clothes or whatever and so stupid and no he he got on the cross and he died for you all he wants were used to live for him and not live for him a church of all but live for him at home and in your heart I mean I fall and I know I break his heart but I don't want to I mean it kills me and he loves you so much there's there's nothing more I mean you can go out in the world you can drink you can smoke pot you can have sex do whatever you want but you're still gonna have that hole in your heart and you can you can be the richest person on earth or the poorest person on earth it doesn't matter in God's eyes he loves you the same and he died for you just like he died for me and he can change your life I mean I go to my school and I have to repent because I look I look at the kids and they listen to the rap music and they cuss and here I'm talking about their weekend and I used to I mean I had a burden and then like it was getting to where it was like ooh look at that person cussing or kissing someone in the hall and God just broke my heart and he was like Lila what were you before you knew me come on you're nothing more than that person and he's just had to break my heart and show me that the last like month few weeks I don't know but what's about it praise the Lord praise the Lord [Applause] Katie how long have you known the Lord now two years April okay two years in April you go to go freeze this well you got to go freeze don't you lately okay you got to go freeze as well right once you want you to tell the people talk to the people just for me and share with them what's on your heart your testimony whatever's on your heart tonight okay well before I saved I was no sort of religious but not I mean not really I would go to church Christmas and Easter and maybe sometimes in between and then I thought I was a Christian because I did that and because I knew that God was real and the devil was real but I I wasn't serving the Lord and I was going to hell and I came here and and I Steve he preached this message and he and it freaked me out cuz I'd never heard anything about Brownsville I moved here from California and he turned all the lights off and his funeral music and I was up in the balcony and I was so scared I was just freaked me out okay and I was always up there and I was like oh my gosh and I was looking at the people that brought me and they were so into it and they were like wow look at that and he had this guy walked down the aisle and it's black in this box and oh gosh it was so scary he's talking about Hell and all this stuff and I'd never heard about Hell in church before like hell was just like a dirty word in church you know I mean you didn't talk about the devil or any of that it's just like love and happy and all that well here it's not like that and I found out and so so then he he like gets the guy to leave after he pulls out all these like scrolls or something and he keeps the lights down and charity comes up here and she starts singing and the lady who brought me she's standing up raising her hands and singing and I'm like what is going on here and Steve's like he's like turn to the person next to you not so if they need forgiveness and so she did and I was like well yeah definitely after hearing that I would say that I needed forgiveness and so so I decided that I would go down with her and I went down in and that when I got to the altar it was it was just it was weird it was like something just hit me and I just I started crying and crying and I felt the deepest sorrow that I think I've ever felt it wasn't that kind of like you hit your little brother and your mom sends you to room and then you're sorry you got in trouble wasn't that kind of sorry at all it was like it was a heart-wrenching I can't believe I've done this to someone who did so much for me and like I got down there and I got saved and like I came back and I would come to youth service and I really was liking it and stuff and took me a while to get to the raising the hands thing but it came so I started getting getting I didn't know what it was but I started feeling really bad inside about my school and later I found out you call that a burden well I would pray for my school and I'd start crying and I didn't know why because I figured you know that was their business and and as I came here more and as I read the word more and as I worship more it's not just their business and it's not the Lord didn't save me so I could keep my mouth shut about it and keep it to myself he's just really shown me in the past year or so just how important it really is to reach out and pray and oh and to share with others and you don't have to get in their face and you know hit him on the head with their Bible and tell them they're going to hell for them to know I mean it's there's so many things you can do and it's it's just nothing to give up on and and he just really showed me that he's in control he's in control and he's got it in his hand if you'll just walk in the way that he wants you to walk you'll you'll do so much more than you could ever do under your own power and with your own plans and I'm I'm just so grateful I'm just so grateful for survival for what he's done and I just encourage everyone to go after him like never before this is another one of my heroes this is Eric's to burg and he's at Fort Walton High School are you senior this year senior this year and we have another school rally coming up at his school as well but uh Eric share with the people just for a few minutes but um scary when they ask you like five minutes before you're supposed to get up here [Music] I've just been raised in church all my life um I'm 17 years old just this is long I can't even remember like not going to church I've just been raised with you know my parents should just met a woman to God I mean what her Volvo came I mean like talk about the little things out I mean when I joke about it but probably thing had changed it got was a little mermaid or something like that and I mean that's that's just my life I mean I've just been raised just in that setting but the thing is I just never knew Jesus I just didn't know who he was and so then on Reviva fell here Father's Day and I'm going to this church for a while and I went down the altar and I got saved but nothing really happened to me because I still didn't know Jesus I still went home and I still didn't know Jesus and about six months later or whatever in December 7 1995 Steve Hill preached a sermon about on being lukewarm and I knew even though I went to church all my life I still didn't know Jesus and I know I'm with the church and I you know I didn't I never gotten into the sex or the drugs I mean thank God I said I hope that's my testimony God like put me in a bubble away from all that stuff I just never had any that stuff I just didn't know Jesus and on me caught on its word on the author and since that day he's everything I mean he's he's read of fun the reason I live is redefined the reason I believe he created this world he's redefined revival to me so you to find everything cuz I'll revival he's getting it back to where it's supposed to be come on but we're talking about how kids get up here witness at their schools and how they preach and how they go on they're just living holy laughs or whatever or how the youth are so on fire at this youth group I mean whatever man that's the way it's supposed to be I mean we're we go around here and we get to preach and everything I mean I mean I'm so thankful just the place that God has me to be here I mean just under brother Richard or just here I mean you get to go minister to people you know and you just got back from Germany and we saw how many people were so hungry for Jesus because they don't have all its thinking religion over there and then he's just show me that I so it's all it's about I mean you may come here I mean there's a group from Canada here you guys are great man I just get them talking y'all for how long but I mean people come here to this church they're like how your kids so on fire I tell you man it's nothing the way it's nothing new the glory got to own this place to get this church back to its supposed to be because the glory God is gonna fall on her schools he's gonna fall in our homes he's gonna fall in our homes I'm selling us and see the whole thing the whole thing what he's doing I don't know what's going on but whites you can't you know stuff I mean I'm only 17 years old and I'm not some scholar or something I mean basically listen what brother richard says about it I don't know but I mean I don't know what's gonna happen you know I mean there's a man in the white house it just got acquitted for something that you know I'm it's just were nations going and I'm wondering what's gonna happen because I know something has to happen I know something has to happen and I know he's getting ahold of my heart right now on he's saying Eric you I have to be everything to you nothing else matters because I'm wondering what's gonna happen in the future and always been the only study about it's like joke you guys remember joke in the Bible job he lost absolutely everything he had he lost everything he had but when all that stuff happened we saw what he was really made of when he said the Lord giveth and Lord taketh away but blessed be the name of the Lord that's because Joe who was made up totally of him and so I know what he's been dealing with me in my life because I mean that's no story people come here and they get saved because that's what happens but that's not where it stops there come on because the glory guy said the greatest commandment is the love the Lord God with all your heart with all your soul all your strength that's what I'm wondering that's what he's really been nailing me about because it's like everything happens I mean been revival with I don't know yeah it's been a while but I means like everything happens and it's like it's just it could it can get to be a continual it can just be like a just a regular process I mean we're gonna revival like every single night I mean probably memorize Steve's next sermon on because you know what he's gonna say because just get the sin I'll get the sin out and your heart can just get cold to that so much Brompton on you right now what he's doing in my life the biggest thing is not I mean I got saved that's great I met that's probably that's the awesomest thing in the world but what he's been doing in my heart he's been getting rid of every single bit of me inside of my heart because I'm nothing but dirt and I got so much just so much mess inside of me but it's just you understand what I'm saying good semester that's the thing I mean I don't I don't know what's gonna happen in my life I mean I don't know if I'm going to school ministry I don't know what's going on and I know that God has got a hole in my heart and he's shaking me and he's saying Eric I want to do something I want to do something new school yes I want to do something with your life I want to use you I want to make a man of God out of you yes but I can't do that with me inside of him so I'm telling you right now and Steve's giving this altar college and he's calling you up here he's not calling you up here just be saving to go back he's calling you cuz the reason I created used to know you he created Adam and Eve because he wanted to know you and he wanted to walk and talk with them and it was their sin that separated into him but I know his heart hurt when they went away from him because he wanted to know him and that's what this whole things about that's what this whole revival was about it's about all about him and it's all about knowing him and it's all about falling in love with him and him being your everything that's what it's all about [Applause] hallelujah let your boys come on praise it come on let's worship it lift your hands right now worship the Lord lift your hands and worship Him hallelujah hallelujah Lord hallelujah Lord all Jesus or Jesus or Jesus or Jesus praise You Lord [Music] this is the year [Music] visits of [Music] spirit of a sovereign Lord is a volume [Music] god [Music] he has sent us to the poor to find up the brokenhearted to captain [Music] [Applause] of its glory [Music] this is the today's the day [Music] this is the hour [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] some in this room should have been embarrassed a few minutes ago is is it Eric who's 17 don't ever be put to shame by 17-year old sir ma'am don't ever be put to shame by a teenager don't ever let that happen to where they're more on fire than you are don't ever let that happen I'm telling you don't let it happen all the way through our lives which we should be carrying the torch sharing the gospel building building character the character and others lifting up the name of Jesus all through our lives some of you is a listen to Eric you're saying thinking to yourself I remember when I used to be like that I remember when I was on fire for God gods go get a hold of you tonight friend when everyone to stand how many were here last night lift your hand well tonight it's going to be totally the opposite of last night so last night I preached a message entitled the synagogue of Satan and we talked about if you're not there's only two categories this heaven hell in or out evil and good there's no gray area and the Bible talks about the synagogue this Satan has a synagogue he has a place he has a place of worship and it's not a physical place it's a spiritual place of worship and if you're not living for Jesus then you worship in Satan's synagogue there's people in bars around this city right now that are sitting down and eating the mix drinking a mixed drink eating some peanuts off the counter that will be in church tomorrow morning they'll be in church tomorrow morning but on Saturday nights they go out drinking with the boys and they'll watch some striptease act and they're just they're just Christians this is just what they do they're in Satan's synagogue I'm friendly going to hell period now if you don't believe talk like this you need to read the word because Jesus didn't put up with nothing he didn't put up his stuff last night I use an illustration as where we're preaching and said what do you think if if you don't like the way I'm preaching then let's have Paul or Peter stand up here what do you think they would say about say what did they say about sin what did they say about what would Jesus say about sin what would Jesus say about your adultery sir if you stood up and confess it you know you've been married for a few years but now you're interested in another girl and and it's just it's just your sex drive she she's your wife doesn't satisfy so you have to go to other places and other means and so Jesus you think he's gonna stand here and just listen and go well you know I understand that it's you know I'm gonna give you some I'm gonna be lenient on you because you know you yeah you got a point there no for him No it was hard Fred it was hard that's why they killed him and Richard talked about the generations that's going to seek him well back in his day there was a generation that wanted a handout too they followed Jesus everywhere he went why he was feeding them for free he was healing their sick it was phenomenal to be around Jesus but then he turned to him and said treat my blood and eat my flesh he started talking about the cost and the Bible says all and bottle says disciples all the disciples left him and he was remained Li he was left with that little motley crew of 12 men how about it friend same thing back then same thing now and Jesus would preach the same message I want to tell you something else he doesn't he's not concerned about popularity he's concerned about holiness that's what he's concerned about and there's there is a small church that's gonna be raptured out it's not gonna be a big Church it ain't a big church it ain't massive it's a few people now many will say unto him in your name we cast out devils and in your name we prophesied and in your name we did many wonderful works that he's gonna say depart from me I never knew you those are the people that call themselves Christians but he knows his sheep he knows his people he knows his family Richard and um Linda said something like that confused some folks he said he said well God you know I don't know I don't know say I'm just whatever you know whatever you want to do what what I think you want to do is you know send revival and people didn't know whether to clap or not to clap is weird you want to know what you know what God might want to do is just send the rapture and forget revival you know he might just decide it tonight it at 10:08 you know Central Standard Time to suck us out of our shoes here whatever one of the problems is people are saying well no you can't come back yet you can't come back there's so much more to do Fred every day there's more to do every day more people are born and every day more Christians that were living for God fall into sin it's called the great falling away so what do you think it's going to what do you think he's looking like in heaven he's going you know checks and balances let's see here's a a half a million just got born here's two hundred and sixty two thousand Christians that were on fire that just fell into sexual sin you know here's this you know God's looking at it going get ready Jesus get ready get ready I've published your gut the good news I published the gospel everyone's had a chance to repent let's go get your disco get your bride I want everyone to pray everyone stand everyone stand with me we're going to pray I know I'm supposed to finish the message that I started on Thursday night but I this is a message that I just don't know where to go with it because there's too much information and so I'm just gonna do the best I can I've been preparing all day long today and I'm just overwhelmed again and that was after I had 36 pages when I came Thursday night and I got to eight of them and so now I got about 47 pages and I know I won't get to five of them so here we go everyone pray with me dear Jesus speak to my heart change my life in your precious name amen you may be seated for a few minutes I want you to get your Bibles out where's my group from Calgary I want to tell you guys we didn't get a chance to meet before the service but I want to tell you something I love you guys man I Love You Man you are so on fire so on fire and if God be your partner make your plans large okay when you see a city take the city forget about forget about a hundred or two hundred just take the city just I mean just go for it okay and and there will be doubters and there'll be naysayers there'll be people say it'll never happen but three or four years down the road they're gonna be going my lord and my god there's that youth group was six thousand seven hundred fifty six people in it there's that youth group that that people God's using to raise the dead and heal the sick Jesus just blow them just go after God remember if he's your partners he your partner and whatever you know God can do whatever someone asked me today they said what do you really want to see and I told him I said I have not seen anything yet we've seen I mean three and a half million people that's cool but that's friend that have come through this church and the powers come down and we've seen healings we've had before and after x-rays of tumors that are gone and awesome stuff but you know what I want to see I want to be in a meeting like this and Richard maybe you're in your youth service I'm you know here in this meeting and stuff is going on and God is moving but suddenly suddenly we hear sirens outside and uh people are concerned because it's just it sounds chaotic and then police come running in they come running in the building and they run over to the podium over here and they go John Kilpatrick Steve we've got to talk to you you've got to see the city streets you got to see what's happening in the restaurants you got to see what's happening at the mall you got to see what's happening all over the city cars are at a standstill people are out on the streets crying they're in the bars are crying they're in the hospitals weeping weeping the Claudia [Applause] see it can happen why because God has already planted the seeds you're gonna be hard-pressed to find anybody in the Pensacola area or in Calgary anywhere you go that has not heard the gospel at one time or another and God could one day go now and see the Holy Ghost sends conviction and a man could be holding a Bloody Mary to his lips and then suddenly looking at the cup see read and then think of a Sunday School lesson about the blood of Jesus and just drop it and just drop it and turn to his friend and go I feel funny man I feel strange and if it's here just pray I'm friend I'm saying it like this because it's happened before in church history I can take you to revivals in church history where there was no evangelist but you could visit the cities and people were crying and moaning and groaning in the villages and the towns and no one was there preaching the gospel it was called a move of God it could happen overnight in America Charlie I want you to bring that out I'm going to preach part two of the State of the Union the state of the union how many were not here Thursday night raise your hand whoa okay Charlie Alma trust you to set it up and set it up straight for all the perfectionist it's got to be right in the middle of the pulpit let me have it first so everybody can see it back here we have a president we've had presidents and they give the 70 have heard of the State of Union address in all honor to the office of the president it's usually a political speech and that's why they're already the State of the Union addresses are always tore up later by other people that know the details of what they're saying there are great things going on in this nation great things going on in this nation there are we are making progress in some areas but Fran as we make progress in some areas we are falling by the wayside and many others and I am one like Richard I want to know the truth don't lie to me don't lie to me I saw in the news the other day they were announcing the 1999 governmental attack on drugs okay and I was you know I was a drug addict I want to hear what they got to say cuz this was the plan now they're gonna rid America of drugs and so I'm sitting some of you're laughing because he watched it I I watched I watched him on nationwide television saying they went number one we will cut off the supply from South America that's not a plan that's a problem the problem it you everybody's been trying to cut off the supply from the North America number two we will educate children you know it was I'm going this is all the same ol same ol it's all the same stuff don't feed me that I'm an American I want to hear the truth I want to know what's going on and I want to hear some other leaders stand up and say like oh man I'm getting ahead of myself I want to hear some of our leaders stand up like they heard back in the 1860s Abraham Lincoln he gets up and instead of saying all these things that he's gonna do you know he says he says America we're gonna go on a national fast we're gonna get on her face before God and we're gonna ask him to forgive us asked him to wash us ask him to cleanse us he proclaimed fast after fast after fast would to God that our national leaders would stand up before America and say we don't have an answer to drug addiction but we know the one who can we know the one we're gonna call out to God Almighty so anyway there's always an emblem there's always a seal behind it and so we've recreated the seal United States of America one nation under God second Chronicles 7:14 and the Dove is carrying a little banner that says go and sin no more okay we read a few scriptures turn to the book of Revelation chapter 3 Revelation chapter 3 verse 14 and unto the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans write these things saith the Amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of God I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot I would thou wert cold or hot so then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will spew thee out of my mouth now if you don't have a red-letter addition friend this is in red this is the King of Kings and the Lord of lords because they'll say us I am rich and increased with Goods and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked America I want you to hear me and hear me good you say America you're rich you're increased with Goods and have need of nothing I'm saying what the Bible says you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked the bottom line to receive anything from God is first recognizing that you have a need of him I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that thou may us be rich and white raiment that thou mayest be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear as I anoint thine eye with eye salve that may us now may se and many as I love I rebuke and chasten be zealous therefore and repent behold I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice had opened the door I will come in to him that's a promise and will sup with him and he with me to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and have sat down with my father in his throne he that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches now you can write down Matthew 16:24 228 and look it up later but that has to do with this friend what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul Psalm 33:12 says this blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance Psalm 9 verse 17 says this the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God you need to see that scripture that psalm 917 turn there I want you to look at the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God what does that say about the nation's where are they going to go why cut the pie any way you want to cut it friend the wicked will be turned into hell and every nation that forgets God I'm afraid for the United States of America because America has fought forgotten about God and those of you that are citizens how many here would call yourself a North American from Canada or North American lift your hand how many here would call yourself a citizen of the United States of America lift your hand I want you to hear me tonight this nation has forgotten God and the Bible shows us where we're heading Isaiah 60 verse 12 says this for the nation and Kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish yea those nations shall be utterly wasted that's Isaiah 60 verse 12 now I could go on and on but I'm not I want you to give me your best ear I pray Jesus you'd give me clarity of thought this is one of those times Jesus I've got too much there's too many scriptures there's too much Jesus and Lord as you have helped me over the last three and a half years at this revival I beg of you to help me now give me clarity of thought I just want to speak for a few minutes Jesus and I don't want one person to leave out of here confused I want them to understand Lord your heart for this nation and I want Jesus for you somehow to turn us back to God at the end of President Clinton's State of the Union address just a few weeks ago he made this statement and I quote tonight as I deliver the last State of the Union address of the 20th century no one anywhere in the world can doubt the enduring resolve and boundless capacity of the American people to work toward that more perfect union of our founders dreams once you hear it again no one can doubt the enduring resolve and boundless capacity of the American people to work toward that more perfect union of our founders dreams my fellows American my fellow Americans this is our moment let us lift our eyes as one nation and from the mountain top of this American Century look ahead to the next one asking God's blessing on our endeavors and our beloved country that was a closing of the last State of the Union address of this century but there's a statement there that bothers me I want you to hear me friend there's a statement there that makes absolutely no sense and I want everyone to look this way I hate hypocrisy I hate it Jesus hates it God hates it the Holy Spirit hates it it's called hypocrisy how many here hate hypocrisy if you're gonna tell me you're one way then be that way then be that way don't lie to me when I stand in front of this congregation and talk to you about my home life about my home life we have people here that know my home life we have a girl that cleans our house for us during this revival it's been so hectic my wife has homeschooling the kids she helps one of the Bible School students she helps clean the house she knows the house she knows our home she knows our kids I don't have a perfect family but I have a Christian family I have a Christian family and when I say to you that we don't have junk in our home that would greed the Holy Spirit the girl that cleans the house she's sitting out there and she's nodding she knows does she knows every nook and cranny of the house she does she knows everything there I hate hypocrisy I said I hate it and there was a statement made here that says hypocritical as a worse hypocrisy that's ever been acted out in America it says this and boundless capacity of the American people to work toward that more perfect union of our founders dreams I say to that hogwash don't you even begin to talk about our fathers like that because our fathers had standards I'm speaking straight I'm going to show you I'm gonna use an illustration tonight over the next few minutes this is gonna be educational I normally do not preach like this but I've got to lay the foundation for some of us in this room and everyone that's watching at home see I am an historian I love history why I like truth I like truth when I tell you that the power came down in Whitfield's meetings it's not because I read a book two months ago that somebody wrote recently about George Whitfield I have writings of his back in the 1700s I had the actual books my library is full of old old books I have manuscripts from the Methodist Church newspapers from the early eighteen hundreds and in the newspapers you open them up every time you open them up they're brittle they'll tear they'll fall apart but you open it up and you'll see where the power came down they write all about the Holy Ghost sweeping in I got some of the original Charles Finney writings where in his write as he talks about the power coming down Presbyterians being hit by the power method it's being hit by the power see I love truth I don't want to read a book that someone took all that stuff out and just wrote some other stuff about her maybe about his preaching I want to know the truth about Charles Finney I want to read like I've got in my library the story when the power came into his life Charles Finney said God came into his life and it was like electricity shooting through his body jolting his body as Charles Finney a lot of folks don't like to hear stuff like that why because that's an experience and people haven't had experiences with God so I like the truth and I've got old manuscripts I've got a sister who runs a library she's a head of a large library and my sister pumps stuff to me all the time she's travels on this circuit for library she's a speaker with the National Library Association she gives conferences all over the nation and she lets me know what's out there what's real and what's not she's the one that sent me to Washington just a few months ago and she said Steve you've got to see this I want you to go to Washington quickly and see what's on display up there and so I went up there Richard and I walked through there was a display called the history of religion in America or Christianity in America and I walked through there and as I walked through I felt the power of God it was in the net our Library of Congress in the Jefferson building it was put on by our tax dollars finally something worthwhile by our tax dollars and I walked through there and on all these historical documents they had the originals hanging and these historical documents you know what they said at the bottom in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the name of our Sovereign Lord and as you go around you're going by God they're not talking about God we're talking about Jesus this isn't some universal being that everyone can just can can relate to we're talking about the sovereign one on the cross here and then when you go on down you come across sinners in the hands of an angry god the original manuscript towards Whitfield's pulpit that the the old camp meetings and how the fire came down friend it was phenomenal but I looked up and I saw a mural and probably anything in that display that took me away to my breath away was this mural of our founding fathers on their faces before God and I was I'm a history buff friend I started salivating over that mural I thought how can I get that mural I'll lay hands on it I laid hands on Jorge Whitfield's pulpit and I set off the alarm man it was the only thing that wasn't under glass and it was had a fence around it you know it was off to a distance but you could still touch it and um you know you know his DNA was still on it you know had his you know just want to scrape a little DNA off and rub it on your face call me a nut friend I just you know call me a nut I don't care anyway I grabbed it and the alarm went off and said step away from the exhibit step away from the exhibit this exhibit is alarm step away from the exhibit I just look man this is great the Brownsville evangelist arrested in Washington DC for trying to steal a pulpit [Applause] I can see the headlines but as I saw this one print and I saw our president going after God and I saw other members of the Congress going after God I began to investigate I began to study a little bit more and it's a long story and I'm going to breathe it I went on a hunt for it the print and found out it does not exist the print was destroyed a hundred years ago it was lost the color print and if the color print was made to wear you can they made the color painting of the First Continental Congress prayer in order to make lithographs steel plates they made a steel plate then they'd run copies black and white copies and so I saw that one mural and found out later that the original had been destroyed or disappeared over a hundred years ago and that no one knew where a black and white was so I began investigating I've got dealers all over the world I collect old Christian prints and I've got people I can call so I called the best dealers no one had ever even seen it and so what my wife and I went to Atlanta on a day off just to spend a couple days up there and I went to a dealer and he's got millions of dollars of prints and I said I said have you ever seen this and he goes no I have it he said if I see it I'll buy it for you but it's gonna be expensive he said but I've never seen it and if it was out there he would have seen it by now and so we left out of there and we went north to North Atlanta and went into an antique shop and as we walked in I walk to boos into the antique shop was divided up into little segments and I looked up on the wall and there it was in a frame that was at least a hundred years old if not older with a piece of paper on it where it was handwritten it said very old print and I looked at it and I'm I have oh I have prints from the 1700s in my office originals and so I know an old print for him I looked at that thing and I went oh Jerry Jerry my wife because she was around the corner I said Jamie come here come here and I was ready to hit anybody that came close to me anybody that screamed out hey honey look at that print it was history friend I was gonna okay this is it this is this is so I got it took it down and purchased it sent it to to Denver to have it analyzed every old print we buy and I found most of my old prints I found so inexpensive because no one knew what the word no one knew did you hear about the man who bought a $1 picture at a flea market and had one of the original declarations of independence did you hear about that or 10 bucks they took the back off and the Declaration of Independence was inside it millionaire overnight man the guy just that's how we found this send it to Denver and the analysts call me back he said Steve you have the original this is now the original it means one of the ones that came they could have been one hundred could have been two hundred could have been ten that came right off the steel plate okay and then the plates gone it's over it's called a limited edition but it's like 150 years old so we got this thing we began to do a massive study of it just in depth study and I'm gonna show it to you in a minute this is all part of the message the State of the Union I want you to understand friend that we're dealing in a nation that was founded on Jesus Christ the Holy Ghost the father's blessing [Applause] we had a government agency contact us after they found out what we had and they asked as I said what do you have in your possession and we have made copies of it I've got a copy of it here we don't walk around with the original but I want to I'm gonna share with you some quotes before we go any further tonight now every one of you that are away from God you're gonna get right with God in just a few minutes but I'm speaking this estate of the United States of America the state of this union is that best at the edge of hell at best I want you to listen to this quote by James Madison known as a chief architect of the Constitution now I've never preached a message like this so just stay with me I'm upset with America and by the way this video will make it into the hands of a lot of politicians James Madison said this car said be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Jesus Christ the framer of the Constitution he said Kherson be giddy teaching that is outside of the cross of Christ Patrick Henry five time governor of the state of Virginia member of the Continental Congress of revolutionary leader haven't you ever remember Patrick Henry you've heard of him he said this it cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not only by religionists but by Christians not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ now you can talk about God all you want when we start talking Jesus Christ you fine-tuned it now these every quote I'm reading you are in the archives in Washington they're in the archives no one can erase this no one can erase it it's already out there it's there everyone knows it it's about time that America hears it do you know what the motto for the Harvard University is this is a founding motto for Harvard all knowledge without Christ is vain Harvard but let me go a little step further here just for a few minutes charlie I want you to bring that out I'd never do stuff like this is this is odd for me because this is but I'm trying to make a point here I'm not going to read you the quotes now everything I'm reading to you is from the journals and the writings of these great men Charlie I want you to get over there and just walk and let everyone see this this is the First Continental Congress in prayer okay this is the print now he's just gonna walk through here so you can see it just across the front and then I'm going to show you something this morning Richard I spent three hours pulling from the journals of some of the men in this painting pulling from the journals there's no time to do an exhaustive study on this I hope to one day of what these men stood for why on that day when our country was being founded why did the power come down why did the power come down why because these men were going after God Boston was under invasion and they knew without God with them without Jesus Christ flooding this nation there was no hope walk faster brother they want to see it part of me Kari I want to put this thing I want to put a billboards all over America you know what I want to do I want to take two or three of these ones that are on their face and blow them up and put them on a billboard and say do you know who this is call 1-800 [Applause] blow America's mind that's well that's who George Washington - and friend you start naming these people and what they were doing charlie bringing up here want to show you something these are the founders of America these are the ones that frame the Constitution these are the ones that led our country at the very beginning Fred and I don't care what's going on right now I am a man of God and I'm American and I want to get back to the way our founding fathers saw this nation we're gonna talk about the State of the Union here's an example this man right here on his face before God that man's name is John J you know one of his writings in 1816 said it said this he said America Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is a duty as well as a privilege and interest of our Christian say Christian of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians as our rulers he says about the Bible the Bible will also inform them that our gracious creator has provided for us a redeemer in whom all the nations here shall be blessed that this redeemer has made atonement for the sins of the whole world are you listening friend these are not preachers these are congressmen stay with me will you stay with me just a minute number 28 let me see here I've got them all mark this man right here number 28 he says this the Christian religion is the established religion and that means belief system of America I mean there was no there was no room for anything else it was anarchy to bring up anything else you stay with me there's too many here I love this one number 20 where we go what do we go what i doing that I know you can't see him but I just went to tell this guy back here with his face his hands in his face oh and by the way the one who painted this painted it afterwards but you want to know how he painted it he painted it by all the journals the journals of these people the Diaries show where they were at and the positions they were in the journals talk about the moaning and weeping and wailing I love this stuff wake up America wake up [Applause] number 20 the man with his hands in his face at his hands this is William Livingston he says by the way he was he's one of the he signed the Constitution the United States of America member of the First and Second Continental Congress governor of New Jersey he said I believe the Scriptures the old and the New Testament without any foreign comments I don't need them I believe that he who fears God and works righteousness will be accepted of God uh Shh some of you still don't get it do you I love this one number 22 pyrius right in there with his face bowed going after God he says this my pastor Reverend Jonathan Edwards [Applause] if you're not familiar with sinners in the hands of an angry god that was a man's master and he talks about one of his message this goes on and on friend phenomenal this is what he says he says this I believe that there's one living and true God existed in three persons the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost this is America that the scriptures of the old and new testaments are revelation from God and a complete wheel to direct us and we may glorify and enjoy him Freni goes on and on of this belief system Fran is just like ours John Adams where's he had number six here he is over here going after God number six he says I just left a church service the pastor preached on be not partakers in another man's sins keep yourself pure then he says then we took our horses to another meeting in the afternoon and heard another minister preach seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added on the air now what was a Kagura what was this man going what wait a minute this man is a second President of the United States of America the first president to live in the White House what's he doing going to church twice I want to tell you why he's doing because that's all that matter there was a State of the Union that's all that matter seek first the kingdom [Applause] and all these things shall be added unto you [Applause] Oh man standing next to him Samuel Adams the father of the American Revolution he says this I want to talk to you about the rights of the colonists as Christians may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of the great law giver and head of the Christian Church which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament see everything was based on the Bible Oh it's George Washington on his face on his knees George Washington and his journal was so long friend full of so much good stuff but I read this this is a man that was around Washington and heard him go out to the troops said rode around among his army yesterday and admonished each and every one to fear God to put away the wickedness of the city and become and become so general and to practice the Christian virtues from all appearance this gentleman does not belong to the so-called world of society for he respects God's Word believes in the atonement to Jesus Christ and bears himself in humility and gentleness Fred man will say that man was an on fire Christian Richard Henry Lee stay with me just a minute how many stay with me just a couple more minutes here's a man on his face going after God on a hard wooden floor I'm sure his knees hurt he says this he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence a member of the Virginia House a delegate to the first concatenative Congress in u.s. senator he says this together with their sincere acknowledgments I can't read everything and offerings they may join the penitent confession of their manifold sins whereby they had forfeited every favor and their humble and earnest supplication that it may please God through the merits of Jesus Christ mercifully to forgive and bow them out of remembrance he's talking about giving a day of Thanksgiving and praise and asking God to forgive through the name of Jesus Christ well I could go on is take it away charlie who wants to say yawns here young people I want to tell you if anyone ever comes up to you and says these men were not Christians they are acting like fools history is behind you they have not done their homework now before you start arguing somebody make sure you know the person you're talking about make sure you know the person but the story behind this print is the power of God entered the room and they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit and people started moaning and weeping and crying out to God and it wasn't about Buddha it wasn't about Krishna it wasn't about any other Islamic teaching it was all about Jesus hey hold on Charlie Paul Wetzel I love you brother I appreciate you helping us in this revival I appreciate your years of ministry I appreciate you holding the banner high and the

universal teaching they were in your face about Jesus well Christopher Columbus come in have heard of him 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue he says this in his journal to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the heathens and to bring the Word of God to unknown coastlands why don't they teach that in our schools why don't they teach that in our schools that's what motivated the man to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ not to bring some Universal got to bring Jesus Christ to the heathen to spread the word of God around the mirror around the world that's what motivated them we're gonna have a

foundation they don't have anything to stand on no one's preaching right and wrong nobody's saying you can't do that here's what we're gonna do tonight no I just want you to play that rather than charity coming tonight I read to you earlier the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God but blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance brother Steve how come you come do it down so hard on America because I've got children that's why see we're gonna all be dead and gone my kids will still be alive I want to leave them a Christian nation should the Lord tarry I want to know that their daddy and he might die for the cause but I want them to know that their daddy stood up for what was right I want them to know that and the greatest way the greatest way that you can stand up for what's right is make sure you're not living a hypocritical life make sure you got the sin out of your life friend now this was an unusual message for me tonight but I tell you last night was totally different from this how many would agree that was but I just want everyone in this place that has anything in their life that would grieve God any sin are you watching things that Jesus would never watch that's not point northeast anymore to Washington let's point inside what's going on is there anything in your life that grieves God because all a nation is friend is made up of citizens two people and it's made of one person after one person after one person after one person it all stops it's a fabric if the seam is weak right in here that we need to fix our scene we need to fix this part of the fabric so right now we're gonna open up these altars for anyone in this place who's away from God those of you I don't want you to come yet those of you that are backslidden you're gonna get right with God that means you're doing things that Jesus would never do those of you in this room that have never known the Lord you're gonna come and meet Jesus Christ the king of kings and Lord of lords he's the one that shed his blood for you 2,000 years ago on Calvary he's the one that our forefathers bowed to back then frame when someone said let us pray it meant let us pray and they would validate go Jesus oh Jesus oh I need you Jesus we're gonna be making laws today in Congress Jesus we need you Jesus you said if anyone lack wisdom let him ask of God don't move any chairs folks leading just where they're at if anyone lack wisdom let him ask of God Jesus we need wisdom those of you that are away from God you're gonna come those of you that are religious folks listen we've seen 300,000 people come down to these altars and a ton of those folks were religious people religions gonna damn you religion is hanging around the cross Christianity is getting on the cross don't be religious [Music] don't be religious friend be holy be a Christian don't be one of those that is faithful to church on Sunday morning even on Sunday night but inside your heart you're not faithful charity do you remember singing that song at the State Capitol in Montgomery remember that the Governor of Alabama and his staff invited us to go to Hue hold a huge rally in Montgomery we went up there and there's 25,000 people there remember that remember the helicopters and and all the satellites and all the satellite trucks CNN NBC ABC all these tractor-trailer rigs and was carried live on something like 400 stations radio stations carried around the world people from Australia he came up here and said they'd seen it unbelievable I want you to hear me they invited us up there it was it was about the 10 commandments but it was a big it was a political rally and I asked I asked them what they wanted me to do and they said we want you to give an altar call at the governor's palace there in the the the state capital an altar call they said we want you to give a Brownsville altar call and I looked up and I saw CBS NBC CNN all these folks and I thought all right why not and it didn't make sense to me Linda Mike Brown shared a few minutes we had all kinds of leaders political leaders share for a few minutes and at the end the the head of it the governor was sitting right next to me he was right behind me and the guy said Steve I'm turning it over to you it's all yours went out there and I said this many of you don't want the 10 commandments to be taken down from the walls of the courthouse but you've already taken them down from the walls of your heart and you could feel it all these hyped up people and we nail sin for about the next 20 minutes gave the altar call and people begin falling to their knees as charity saying mercy seat thousands of people I got a report that some of the cameramen that were filming it put their cameras down and got on their knees on top of their trucks why friend we're a bunch of religious idiots when God sees the heart I said some of you are coming you're screaming and hollering about the 10 commandments being taken down from a courthouse wall and you're gonna go home and slap your wife you're gonna go home and grab a six-pack of beer and guzzle it down before the days up you know people are going they're going this guy knows me this guy knows me know the Holy Spirit knows your friend religion won't save you religion won't save you [Music] so when I give this altar call if you're religious in this place you might be a churchgoer but you don't know Jesus you're not enthralled with the the coming of the Lord you're not thinking about him coming back I tell my kids I've told my kids straight-out I told Ryan I said Ryan I don't care if you ever grabbed if I ever see you graduate I said I want Jesus to come back now if I'm if you graduate you're 18 he had to come back yet I'll be there and I'll praise you man that's it Ryan I'm ready for him to come back right now right now and I say Ryan are you ready are you ready Ryan are you looking for his appearing friend if you're not I question whether or not you're even saved I question it because if you're saved all you're thinking about is Jesus and this young man Eric 17 years of age that's normal Christianity that's not fanaticism that's normal that's normal that's some of the stuff I just got that is reading you oh by the way I've got a book of sermons preached in

truth everyone turned to the person next to you and asked them this question don't do it until I finish asking this question do you need Jesus Christ to forgive you and if someone asks you that question don't lie to them if you need to forgive you need forgiveness if there's something separate between you and God you tell them yes I do and then both of you come down here together [Music]
