command its hold on your mind and your heart to be broken i lose faith in this room i loose the joy of the lord that is able to become your strength i lose the perfect love of god which casteth out

lord yes hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah glory be under god glory be under god hallelujah let's make our way back to our seats but if you would remain standing with me we're going to turn our attention to the word of the lord how many believes that it's still good to preach from the bible you know there's some folks that don't do that anymore or they do a whole lot less of it we're going to look at hebrews chapter 11. praise god give honor to your leadership [Music] thank the lord for the body [Music] and it always operates best when we follow the owner's manual how many knows who owns the church [Music] he's the head of the body we're going to look at hebrews chapter 11 begin reading verse 13. we got any bibles in the house tonight praise god some of you still bring your bible to church all of you that don't have your bible with you you fill in the conviction right now it's a good thing to do bring your bible to church and i know it is convenient to have it on your phone your ipad [Music] but uh there's nothing like good old print and paper hebrews chapter 11 verse 13. as you're still getting settled in i do have proof i don't know if the media team still has the picture that i gave them yesterday but i have proof that i was once a young person i also once had hair this is a picture of me if they've got it oh look at that junior high camp 2013 minus a few years [Music] look at those teeth that hair [Music] is that a helmet praise god i was once a young person amen but i had to put away childish things and i guess my hair was childish i don't know i'm glad to be here for several reasons one of the main reasons is i get to hear my favorite preacher in pentecost my brother mark brown and he delivered a word to us today [Applause] [Music] hebrews chapter 11 and verse 13 [Music] so these all they died in the faith not having received the promises but they could see them afar off and they were persuaded of them they embrace them and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth they were foreigners everywhere they went they didn't just they didn't quite fit in verse 14 for they that such say such things declare plainly that they seek a country and truly if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out they they might have had opportunity to have returned somebody say but now they desire a better country that is an heavenly one wherefore god is not a shame to be called their god for he has prepared for them a city he has prepared for them a city those people who seek a country but i'll tell you where the fight it is the fight is there in the beginning of verse 15. if they had been mindful if their minds would have been filled their thoughts preoccupied with the country from where they came out of they would have had all kinds of reasons to return i'll tell you the honest truth i was hoping that my brother would preach a message that really overlapped this message so that i could feel released from the burden that i'm carrying tonight but he failed i hate to break it to you but i've got a mission to put the plow just a little bit deeper tonight but here's what i felt as i stood over there and worshiped god said i don't just need a people that love my presence i'm building an army to march into these last days [Music] and a good soldier does not entangle themselves with the affairs of this world i wish you would lay your bibles down in your devices and lift up your hands towards heaven and would you pray for the preacher and pray for your own heart to receive the instructions of the lord tonight father we love you and we thank you so much for all that you have done we thank you for your infallible word that is able lord to save our souls if we would allow it to be engrafted in us i pray help me as the messenger to speak your word as your spirit leads truly i want to be mindful of your spirit led of the holy ghost i pray for each and every person under the sound of my voice both in person and online every person that this message will reach tonight father i pray let their hearts be pliable and their hearts ready to receive the word of the lord oh god you are raising up an army and i pray that we will be molded and shaped by your hands tonight in the name of jesus have your way lord god we worship you and honor you jesus hira lobo tayyishai linger for just a moment longer why don't you go ahead and pray thank the lord for his word i love you jesus i worship you lord god you're worthy of the glory you're worthy of the honor you're worthy of the praise have your way in this place glory to god glory to god glory to god glory to god amen amen amen my my title it's nothing fancy it's a little long a little clunky but look at your neighbor and say feeding friends and feelings feeding friends and feelings god bless you you may be seated feeding friends and feelings i've learned that everybody has influence if this is your first youth convention you just got into the youth group turned 12 last week you got influence if this is your last year at youth convention maybe you've been recruited to be a part of the youth team you've got influence if you feel like you're an outcast you have influence if you feel like you're popular you have influence even the babies in the room have influence just let one of them start crying bloody murder we'll all find out how much influence they have they have the ability to wake sleeping adults up in the middle of the night influence it's thursday night it's our midweek service in fact our assistant pastor right now is ministering the word of the lord as i speak to you he ministered not that long ago a message a measure of influence and he pressed those there to consider what we are doing with our influence i was at a visitation for a minister who had recently passed a missionary to the dominican republic brother cruz who had recently passed i was at his visitation this past tuesday and i saw a room filled with people and pictures that told me how deep his influence went in fact it's it's nothing like a funeral for you to realize that someone's influence truly does outlive them and really there's no way to measure their influence everybody in this room has influence in fact before i move on i i need to let a believer a holy ghost spirit-filled believer know that you have influence in this service in fact in any given service you have influence if you're a spirit-filled believer it is impossible for you to be neutral in an apostolic service you can choose to sit on your hands and be ice cold to everything that is happening in the room and your lack of participation influences the spiritual climate in the room or you could choose to lift your hands and participate in praise and worship and you can feel the temperature begin to rise but it is impossible for you to remain indifferent and neutral in this service or any service while others our guests and those that have not yet been filled with the spirit can respond you can change the temperature in the room while considering the reach and impact of the influence of our lives is something that we should often consider and be very careful to use in the kingdom of god it is not my mission tonight to talk about your influence and the impact of your influence but rather it is a burden on my heart for you to ponder to stir you to to think about what or who influences you feeding friends and feelings and how they are shaping your faith and your future i know this is not what i think should be preached on a thursday night at youth convention but nonetheless i feel burdened with the lord to preach this message because god grows tired of seeing his people be enthusiastic in meetings like this but go back home on monday and saturday and remain unchanged this may be a little more practical but nonetheless it's what god wants me to share with you we will ask the question we will consider where these three elements are leading your life they are directing you and i pray to god that before you walk out of the doors of this room that you will make up your mind that you will no longer blindly allow these things to influence and shape the faith and direction of your life what are you feeding on is anybody familiar with the story of the prodigal that young man who was ambitious enough to ask his dad to cash in on the inheritance before he would even shadow the grave and his father in his good and kindness and goodness he would graciously give him his inheritance and soon after this young boy would leave the house leave the family farm not move next door not buy acreage here just down the street but no the bible said he would go into a far country because let me tell you prodigals and backsliders they they don't just want to leave just a little bit but when the devil gets a hold of the heart of someone that grows unsettled in their spirit in the father's house he would love to drive them just as far as he can from the reach of the father but we see the prodigal take the goods that his father had graciously give them and waste them waste them on riotous or wasteful living and the bible says that there are rows of famine in the land and all those friends that he was able to buy were nowhere to be found and he found himself starving and he got hired by a pig farmer there in that country and the bible says that he was at his lowest point he got so desperate that while he was feeding those pigs slop that he thought for a moment i wonder what that tastes like i don't know how hungry you got to be to look at pig slop and think that that might be your meal today you know some folks they like mcdonald's i don't understand that i might visit the mccafe but you could keep your double cheeseburger you could keep your chicken nuggets i think i should just stay here for a while but you know it's bad enough to to get the food that's served across the counter at mickey d's could you imagine someone being so hungry that they go to the dumpster behind mickey d's have you ever seen a mcchicken thaw out kind of turns into a pink taffy it's all pink and stretchy and chicken nuggets too i hate to ruin your day this young man was sandwiched between two fat pigs ready to eat slop for dinner can i tell you that there are some things that were not ever intended for human consumption and i wish you would just consider how many prodigals today and maybe even people in this room are feasting on things that the lord has never intended for you to eat and it does matter what you eat recently heard a story about a guy that was uh that was wanting to get a little bit more physically fit work off that corn 15. and he decided to join the gym with his buddies and after a few weeks his buddies were all bulking up and getting toned and fit and he was not he's like what in the world we're going to the same gym we're doing the same workout what is going on we'll come to find out this guy while those guys were eating veggies and drinking water and trying to change their diet this guy was eating everything he had eaten before he's like me hey if i'm gonna jog for two miles i'm doing that so i could have a big giant milkshake cookies and cream from chick-fil-a there there's my help i feel my help coming now it matters what we eat some things are not intended for human consumption does anyone know what the post pictures advertisements and videos are called that we scroll through on our phones when we're on the facebook what's that called your feed news feed from facebook business it says our goal with news feed is to show you the stories that matter most to you every time you visit facebook the newsfeed is a personalized ever-changing collection of photos videos links and updates from friends family businesses and news sources that you've connected to on facebook now let's stop for just a moment and consider why in the world is it cons called a feed and what in the world are we digesting when we look at our feet i could see someone now scrolling through here but i wonder if it would be a little bit more hitting home if we if we just put it like this and start pushing our thumb through that and because it's just it's just what we're drinking in it's what we're having all of the time how many hours do you spend on this device and you're just drinking in whatever things that you're connected to that you're scrolling through it is becoming what you have for breakfast lunch and dinner and it doesn't have to be facebook you name the social media platform that you are a registered user of and listen when you are on there when you click something if you just pause for a moment and watch something or look at a picture when you share something when you like or heard something when you search something all of it is tracking your usage and trying to personalize your feed and for convenience sake we use our email addresses as as things that we sign into all of these social media apps with and this artificial intelligence is learning us and it's learning our patterns this is why when we run a search or or when we do a search on our our devices that next thing you know it's in the column it's in the margins it's in the sponsored ads it's something that we don't even know how it got there but it's a device that's constantly learning you and let me tell you that there's not a person in this room that uses an internet browser that's never more honest than when you are searching something on google because it's with this web browser it's with this search engine it's with google that you feel a certain sense of anonymity you feel a certain sense of secrecy and you feel like you can look for something you could type in a word and you can look at images or words and nobody will see it and if you wanted to you could clear the history and the cache go to private browsing mode and nobody will know i promise you that there is someone always tracking what you're doing we sit here screen slaves looking and feeding and feeding and feeding i listen i'm not coming to preach against the internet i'm just coming to bring a realization that we are feeding constantly and we need to be aware of what is influencing us when you like a public figure when you like a movie a book a show an athlete a group a music group an artist when you like them did you know that what they like will become what shows up on your feed and you might feel like it's innocent enough to look at something and like something and follow somebody nobody knows but i'm telling you that there are unintended consequences to the things that we feed on constantly it will shape us our faith i feel this message so relevant over these past 12 months when we have been so much on our screens haven't been able to go anywhere haven't been able to do anything haven't been able to meet in person but we've got our devices and we feel uh god help us i feel like this needs to be a sign for someone to realize that this time right now is a time for you to review what you're doing and what you're feeding on it's time to clean up your social media account your pictures your likes your posts i wonder if i could echo the sentiments of the apostle paul when he says that you are like living letters that are known and read of all men but in the 21st century here in 2021 it's a little bit different they may not see you at the supermarket they may not see you in the church house but they somehow happen upon your page and they scroll through your history and your basic information and where you live and everything that you put on there even your fake age i know you're 12 but you're pretending to be 21. and has anybody ever got like 10 notifications where somebody liked 10 pictures that you posted 10 years ago can i tell you that that is one person among dozens of people that that's how they get their first impression of you and what you're like and what you like and what is the story that you're telling them it blows my mind when i see apostolics post pictures and videos and share things that they would never dream of wearing or dressing or saying or sharing at the church or in front of their pastor or even their parents but they feel the liberty to put it on the world wide web [Applause] you are an ambassador of the lord jesus christ you carry the name of jesus on you and while you'll dance in this altar because that name was able to wash away your sins what trash am i carrying the name of jesus through you might say you might say listen that was bc that was before christ i don't live that way anymore i don't dress that way that music group i don't even listen to them anymore that tv show i don't even watch it anymore that movie that i liked i know i've never seen it in fact i feel convicted about it i've repented of it my brother preaches a magnificent message called where no remission is and he talks about electronics and listen you've got to understand that what was passed to you is present to those who view your page and what in the world are we doing this is not part of my message but i've got to say it i've got to share it what in the world are we doing when we see someone that has drifted from the youth group and is starting to do things and live a certain lifestyle that is but anything but in alignment with the word of god and we like it and we comment beautiful you're gorgeous god help us the blood of their souls is on our hands i'm not telling you that you gotta post hateful comments or mad face and mad emojis on those pictures no but we are not helping them get back to the father's house by telling them how great they are where they are [Applause] producers and producers and and sponsors of the entertainment industry they they're all hoping they're all hoping for something from you and i they're hoping that you'll turn off your brain i've been convicted in the past where i have been exhausted physically emotionally i said i just i just i just need to turn off my brain i just need to do something that's mindless for a while and oh god help me what i'm feeding on because the majority of what's being shared through cable netflix hulu disney plus etc etc if we're honest with ourselves it is total and complete trash to the human soul it is pig it pigs and we're there pushing ourselves eating stuff the brutality the immorality the sexuality the horror that is displayed and depicted on these screens of ours ah i wonder if if what we could do next time is just pull out a sheet of paper and write the ten commandments on it and every time one of the ten commandments are broken we check it off the list and i wonder how long we get down through our favorite episode of our favorite show or movie and we realize that all ten commandments have been broken right here before me and i'm calling it entertainment i know that the apostle said that sometimes we could entertain strangers and we entertain angels unaware but i wonder how many angels of hell have we entertained by what we've been entertained by like an early church father said of live theater in rome how can it be right to watch what is wrong oh i know that i look like a dinosaur up here preaching this holiness junk oh you can call it what you want but i have a feeling that there's an army in this room there's some young people i said there's some teenagers in this room that are going to stand tall for righteousness [Applause] in the name of the lord jesus christ you hear me teenager right now because i know that maybe your apostolic parent is in the home and they might be watching things i'm not here for a parent bashing contest but hear me right now your personal convictions may run deeper than your parents but the calling that god may have on your life may not be the same calling that's on your father or your mother he's got a nation for you to reach he's got a city for you to plant a church in illinois i need the help of the lord if you haven't realized it by now this is a holiness message oh that's right i haven't started talking about distinction and dress but it's a holiness message it's probably the holiness message that we most need to hear in the 21st century oh i know that we stuck took a stand against tvs but now tvs are in the palm of our hands and now we're being fed with music in the privacy of our earbuds and it's time for us to take a check of what we're feeding on but hear me to those of you that feel like this is impossible to those of you in this room that feels like you it's inescapable that i can't watch anything and what can i listen to and what can i do and where can i go and it feels like it's impossible hear me right now if you feel like you can't do it you're right because holiness was never meant to be something that you could do on your own [Applause] this is one of the reasons why jesus said go and tarry in jerusalem until you be endured with power from on high we've got to have the holy ghost if we're going to live holy say it out loud and so the psalmist says i will behave myself wisely in a perfect way oh when will thou come unto me i i will walk within my house with a perfect heart i will set no wicked thing before mine eyes i will hate the work of them that turn aside it shall not cleave to me before internet before social media before cable here is the psalmist saying lord i can't do it i can't set things before my eyes and expect them for for them not to affect my soul but furthermore he segues or me he said not only will i not set wicked things before my eyes but i will hate the work of them who turn aside your friends not just what you're feeding on but your friends will influence your faith and your future and the direction of your life will be greatly impacted by the people that you surround yourself it has been in my observation this element of a believer's journey is one of the most crucial your associations your friendships your family connections they are all so influential and let me speak to some young person who has a biological connection or a connection through a marriage that you have no control over that when you leave this place in fact you will linger in these altars friday night hoping that this would not end because you're going back home to a house that is filled with anything but what you feel in this room i'm not here to tell you that you need to dishonor the authority figures in your life but listen god has made provision in his word for you to continue to live out his spirit and his word in your life no matter what the circumstances or situation live out your faith but it has been for my observation and experience it is not the relationships that we have no control over that are sometimes the most detrimental it's the relationships that you have complete power to walk away from that's why we see a child of god that somebody picks up and brings to church living for the lord but then we see a young person whose parents live for the lord they're surrounded by people but yet because of some friendships that they choose to have they still walk away from truth it's the relationships that you have the power to walk away from don't get me mixed up when we read in the book of exodus that the israelites traveled out of egypt and they took with them the gold and the silver and the clothing of the egyptians that they borrowed from them under god's direction they left and with them the bible says there was a mixed multitude that basically saw the wonders that god performed and said hey i'm not hanging out here i'm going with them they've got a little bit of power here hear me though the mixed multitude is also found in the rest of the bible throughout the old testament we also see it in numbers in deuteronomy in fact when the plague goes out among them of fiery serpents it's because the mixed multitude looked at the heavenly manna and said we're tired of this and they influenced the people of god the israelites the mixed multitude let me tell you who the mixed multitude are they are people who want the blessing without the covenant they want the power without the consecration they they want all the wonder in the works but they don't want the change in their life and they'll look at the miracle of manna and they'll be tired of it and you fast forward all the way to the book of nehemiah and still the mixed multitude is plaguing the people of god until they read the law of the lord and god says separate yourself from them it's time that you realize there's some associations that you gotta shake the dust off your feet and move forward in your life [Applause] i'm preaching to some young person right now that you want to live for god in fact your heart aches to live for the lord your heart aches to see revival in your life but how many times have you felt the peer pressure on either side of you you wanted to run up to the front and give your life to the lord you've wanted to be a worshiper and dance before the lord but you have felt the bondage of your peers and they are completely within your power to break free from here in the name of the lord jesus christ you hear me right now i'm not speaking to the person on the right of you or the left of you i'm speaking to you dead center whoever you are hear me right now god's hand is upon your life and if the person next to you is a spiritual deadbeat it's okay to get up and move to another seat we we we get to these places and perhaps it's been more frequent and more normal or more common among us over the past 12 months but there are people in this room that over the past 12 months you have begun to doubt you have begun to question even the core tenets of our faith and the apostolic doctrine that we know and believe and teach and preach and live you're in this room and you have questioned whether or not you even have the holy ghost you're in this room and you're questioning everything about your lifestyle that you've been taught and been practiced but listen to me now is not a time to isolate yourself now is a time to insulate yourself with some people that are prayerful and spirit-filled and holy living and godly examples surround yourself with somebody that's going in the right direction [Applause] take the example of the paralytic man in mark chapter five he could not walk from the day he was born but somehow someway he got to jesus even though the house was filled and there was no room even about the door why because he had four faith-filled friends that were persuaded that if they could get him to jesus he could be healed [Applause] oh i wish you would get something in your spirit that even in this service you would grab the lapel of your youth pastor and you'd grab the lapel of your youth pastor's wife and some holy ghost-filled young people in your youth group and say don't let me fall don't let me be lost don't let me die in sin pull them in pull them in closer yeah in the name of the lord jesus christ father i pray right now that every oppressive spirit every lying devil that is whispering lies into the minds of these young people that tell them they can't live for god they can't walk before the lord holy i pray that their hold will be broken i pray that there will be a holy communion within the body where there is a unifying of the holy ministering saints of god where we bind faith with faith touch somebody touch somebody next to you and say don't let me stray don't let me leave the father's house don't let me leave the church get a hold of somebody's hand right now and say you ain't leaving the church you ain't leaving the church not as long as i'm around [Applause] i feel the faith of poor good friends being unleashed in this room hi yeah yeah yeah yeah [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah [Applause] say that might make them uncomfortable listen i don't need comfort i need conviction [Music] [Applause] uh is anybody tired is anybody tired is anybody tired of having an awesome moment with the lord at youth convention or on a sunday and through the week you get dragged through the mud because of the people you're hanging with and the associations you have it's in your power to shake it off [Applause] this preacher gives you full permission to leave those kind of friends and find somebody that's filled with faith and somebody that's holy ghost field and somebody that is on their way to a city whose builder and maker is god i give you permission if you want to to leave the back row and say i've got somewhere to go i know someone who's preparing a place for me that's it that's it that's it i'm tired of being too cool for school i've come to learn i'm a disciple of jesus christ i want to sit at the feet of jesus lift up your hands lift up your hands and hear the sound of chains falling chains that were self-imposed by your own decisions and associations lift up your hands and hear the chains fall to the ground and now begin to lift up your voice with the sound of praise and victory and triumph i'm getting out of this mess i'm getting out of this relationship he loves you oh he loves you remain standing i'm done he loves you he loves you he loves you with an everlasting love i'm here preaching this message with all my guts because there's a god who loves you too much to leave you where you are there's a god who loves you too much to allow you to keep feeding on the mess you're feeding on and having those friends that are dragging you through the mud it's time to get up it's time to make your way back to the father's house somebody say feelings somebody say feelings oh do teenagers have feelings you better believe it your feelings aren't a constant rollercoaster ride but hear me right now from first john chapter 3 and verse 20. if our hearts condemn us god is greater than our hearts oh the lion devil's telling you you ain't good for nothing this world is telling you you're not beautiful this world is telling you this is out of date this ain't worth living nobody's living this way anymore but somebody take your heart and let it have a transplant from the lord jesus christ let him fix your feelings right now [Music] [Applause] there's a sovereign move of the lord right now go ahead lift up your voice and pray in the name of jesus you don't have to wait on your friend you don't have to wait on somebody that you think is popular or cool it could be you right now in a in a private session with the lord go ahead and go into that prayer closet and say lord clean me out clean me from the inside out lord i want to fix my heart on your i go ahead i want to lose pastors and youth workers and and ministers in this room and and i want to lose ministers wives i want you to find some young people and just lay your hand on their head just lay your hand on their head and begin to speak life begin to speak faith begin to speak freedom from that oppressive lying devil who has told them they've got to stay in the habits that have been killing them [Music] it don't matter how pretty that girl is it doesn't matter how fine looking that car is it doesn't matter what no no no no no no i said there's a city whose builder and maker is god i'm a stranger and a pilgrim in this world i'm going so [Music] this is the sound of freedom this is what freedom sounds like it's the cry of the people who do know their god [Music] yes yes yes yes there is some precious apostolic young lady that has been feeling trapped and bound by the pressure of social media that is trying to form you into their image it's time that you recognize the inner beauty that god has created you [Music] with [Music] i just want just one [Music] nobody else [Music] [Music] nobody else [Music] oh [Music] [Music] surrendered [Music] nobody else [Music] is [Music] changed [Music] [Music] wanna be with you [Music] don't let me leave the same way feel this place [Music] [Music] yes [Music] so let's start right now [Music] [Music] god [Music] [Music] deal is [Music] [Music] to you here [Music] is [Music] me [Music] i love you lord jesus [Music] i feel deeply moved to do something right now i would like my wife wherever my wife is i want her to come up to the platform very quickly she can make her way up to the platform [Music] you continue to pray you continue to pray but i feel something so heavy on my heart i know that there has been a widespread move to this message and response to this message but i feel the heart of the lord in this room breaking for his daughters there are daughters of the king in this room that have especially felt trapped by relationships and friendships and and the addiction that you have to the screen and the feed that you have through social media and you feel and you think that you've got to look a certain way and you've got to dress a certain way and you've got to act a certain way and you've got to allow certain things to be done to you for you to be accepted but i want this woman of god who serves together with me as a licensed minister i want her to speak and and to pray over our ladies and i wonder if there's some men in this room that can lift up holy hands when she begins to pray and pray for the holy ghost and the power of god to move powerfully through this place hallelujah i want us to do where where we started just feel after the lord i'm going to turn over this mic here in just a moment just feel after the lord right now [Music] this afternoon i was doing something so simple i was pumping gas in my car and a woman who was pumping gas right next to me looked at me and said you are a matthew 5 16 person i have never seen this woman in my life and if i'm honest with you as a bible quizzer i was really bad at references so i had to go look it up and she drove away and i said thank you so much because i knew she meant it as a compliment and this happened today today before this service and i opened up my bible because i had it in my purse from the service and i read matthew 5 16 let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven this total stranger looked at me doing something as simple as filling my car with gas and acknowledge the fact that the light of the lord was shining through me to glorify him let me tell you it has nothing to do with me i have had struggle after struggle with consecrating my life [Music] but i've done it and when it felt like no one else was gonna live this way i chose to live this way and today god confirmed his word again in my life that a complete stranger can look at me in the holiness that i live in and say you are the light of the lord glorifying him young ladies that is you you have the opportunity to show the light of the lord to glorify him with your life i am going to pray over you because i know that god has spoken to you that god has convicted you of things tonight and it's time to give those things to him it's time to open up your hands and release those things to the lord god right now i pray over these young people lift up your hands for every single young lady lift up your hands man lord that feels like she can live with this and she can't live this way and be beautiful and be desirable no lord jesus because we will be committed to you we will live holy we will walk holy we will act holy lord jesus we committed to you and as you speak to us we say yes we say tell him yes what he's spoken to you what he's talked to you about you might not feel like you can do it but say yes lord yes lord yes lord he's going to help you he's going to help you come on pray in the holy ghost right now pray in the holy god you're holy i will be holy lord as you are holy jesus reach up for the one who's reaching for you that's it hallelujah go ahead and surround surround someone in your youth group right now and let them feel the insulation of love and prayers that's it if someone has not yet received the gift of the holy ghost why don't you dialogue with them and say listen i believe that jesus wants to fill you with the holy ghost tonight you don't have to leave this place working this stuff on your own but god wants to give you the holy ghost you feel like you're wavering in your faith grab a hold of your pastor grab a hold of your youth pastor grab a hold of a youth worker grab a hold of somebody in your youth group that's on fire and maybe you've made fun of a little bit before but you're saying i need your prayers [Music] don't let me fall away don't let me fall away [Music] that's it as this worship team continues to play softly and just sing in the background let the let your prayers come to the forefront and rise in this place lifting the ceiling off this room go ahead go ahead seek after the lord while he may be found seek after him for he is near even at the [Music] i door myself give myself away [Music] i give myself away so you can see [Music] i give myself to [Music] i give myself i myself [Music] [Music] away so you can
