of the word anybody thankful that jesus is in the house anybody hungry today for god to do something in this house if you have your bibles i would like to direct your attention to the book of genesis chapter 38. genesis chapter 38 we're going to begin reading with verse number one may be the first time in human history at a national youth conference that these first few verses of genesis 38 have been used as a text but we're going to go there today at least we're going to go there briefly genesis 38 beginning with verse number one the bible says and it came to pass at that time that judah went down from his brethren and turned into a certain edobite whose name was hira and judah saw there a daughter of a certain canaanite whose name washua and he took her and went in unto her and she conceived and bear a son and he called his name er everybody say er that ought to bless you can you imagine naming your kid about lack of creativity er i can see it now mrs judah hey judah what we're going to have a kid he's reading the newspaper oh okay what you want to name him you know i don't know i don't know all i know is is her she conceived again didn't get much better bear his son they called his name onan god bless him i have no idea where that came name came from and she yet again conceived and bear a son and they called his name sheila everybody say sheila and he was a cheesy when she buried him we've read about three sons of judah i want to read about a couple more verse 27. and it came to pass in the time of her travail that behold twins were born in her womb and it came to pass when she travailed that the one put out his hand and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread saying this came out first and it came to pass as he drew back his hand that behold his brother came out and she said how hast thou broken forth this breach be upon thee therefore his name was called forese everybody say ferez and afterward came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand and his name was called zara everyone say zara we read about five sons of judah er onan sheila faires and zara i want to talk about this middle son sheila today the one that we just don't know much about honestly i if i if i wasn't preaching about him i'd been hard-pressed to come up with his name i want to talk about this middle son this almost anonymous son this son that just never quite emerged never quite became anything i want to talk about him today want to preach on this subject the son in the shadows and i'm asking that god would have his way in this house today would you help me pray i need jesus you need jesus the good news is he's here and he's here to move let's pray jesus we love you thank you for your grace [Music] thank you for your spirit thank you for your touch come on lift your voice to him right now we're asking that the sweet touch of the holy ghost here would sweep across this place god would you pull at some people today would you let your call go forth let it thunder let the call of god thunder in this house i'm asking you to do it we give you the praise and the glory let's thank him for it now [Music] hallelujah amen shake hands with somebody next you tell them it is good to be in the house of the lord as i mentioned a minute ago this may be the first time in history that at a national youth conference genesis 38 is used as a text the reason i say that if you are familiar with this scripture this passage of scripture this chapter is is really kind of a weird chapter there's a lot of things about it that's odd it's a strange chapter and it is a a story a sad part of the story in the life of judah judah the patriarch that eventually from which jesus christ would come it's interesting if you know your bible genesis chapter 38 um let me let me start profound here today is right after genesis chapter 37 had you noticed that and immediately before genesis chapter number 39 but what's interesting about that is that this story about judah if you're reading in genesis chronologically you'll be reading along this beautiful story of a man called joseph you read about joseph it's beautiful it's a story of just has so many beautiful aspects it's so it's so fascinating that playwrights have taken this story they have made broad ways out of it there was a young boy in fact he was 12 years old i believe when andrew lloyd webber uh put together a a play joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat which has become a broad way and it's based on the life of of joseph one of the most beautiful stories that you'll ever read in your bible but what's interesting you're reading through the story of of joseph and then you get to chapter 38 and it's like the bible takes a hard left turn and you read a weird story several weird accounts about judah it's like god forgets about joseph and then god begins to talk has moses write about this man by the name of judah but let me just tell you that god did not god did not take some kind of a side road when he wrote about judah in chapter number 38. in fact i would tell you that the story of judah is really the story of the bible because judah we understand is the great great great great great great great great great grandfather of jesus christ joseph was one of the twelve and joseph played an important part but really really joseph was right when he said my whole job was to keep you guys alive and the story is really not about joseph it's really about this man by the name of judah because judah is the great granddaddy of jesus christ and can i remind peak 2021 that it is all about jesus here today i want to tell you it's not about joseph and it's not really about judah it's not about abraham isaac or jacob themselves it's not about any of the other patriarchs but i'm here to tell you your bible and all that we do is all about jesus the whole bible's about jesus anybody glad that you know who jesus is today the whole bible's about jesus the both test testaments about jesus all 66 books are about jesus there's 1189 chapters in your bible and every one of them is about jesus all 31 102 verses preach about jesus every one of the 783 137 words in your bible is pointing towards jesus christ i'm here to remind somebody today that it's all about jesus every song that we sing is about jesus when i clap my hands it's about jesus when i leap for joy it's not some kind of exercise it's all about jesus we dance because of what jesus has done call me a holy roller that's fine i roll in the floor because of what jesus has done in my life it's not about me it's not about you but it's all about jesus is there any jesus name apostolics in the place anybody been washed in the blood of jesus anybody been baptized in the name of jesus come on now anybody ever been healed by the power of jesus if you believe it's all about jesus you ought to get shouting happy today i'm in the family of jesus it's all about jesus somebody say it's all about jesus oh clap your hands and give him praise hallelujah hallelujah amen amen you can be seated somebody say it's all about jesus amen the reason genesis 38 is there it's all about jesus amen in this chapter in genesis 38 about judah and his sons there's five sons of judah amen and and i want to take a moment and talk about these sons a little bit these five sons of judah i think i'm talking to young people that understand that judah the name judah means praise the name judah is representative of praise we could give a lot of examples of this i don't have time to do that i think you understand that but let me just suffice it to say that these sons were born in the house of praise amen they were sons of praise they were descendants of praise they were born in the family of praise think about it they were surrounded by praise they were probably woke up in the morning by praise knocking on their door saying buddy it's time to get up to go to work they were probably put to bed at night by praise can i just tell somebody today it is a blessing to be a son of daughter of praise i've come to tell somebody today i still thank god that i've got a praise in my voice i've still got a shout in my heart i've still got a leap oh hallelujah i think i'm preaching to a bunch of people we're not ashamed to be praisers today is there anybody that still knows how to clap your hands come on now anybody on a friday morning a peek still know how to give god praise amen it's not strange to us we're not embarrassed by it in fact we like praising we're not strangers to praise we were born in the house of praise we're not surprised when an old sister begins to shout till bobby pins pop out of her hair we don't get weirded out when a dude takes off running the aisles and another one follows him we don't think it's a purse snatching we know they're running in the holy ghost in fact can i take it further i don't get weirded out by worship i get freaked out when there's no praise in the house you know what messes with me dead church i'm a pretty nice guy but i think rialto knows that i don't like it when we have dead church i like hand clapping i like hands being lifted it's a house of praise and somebody ought to praise him that's why the psalmist said praise ye the lord praise god in his sanctuary praise him in the firmament of his power praise him for his mighty accent praise him according to his excellent greatness did you hear that you ought to praise him to according to how great he is i told the church the other night if you want to sit back and do a little golf clap shame on you amen you want to give weak praise that expresses weak faith yawning crossing your arms in the house of praise weak praise says i've got a weak god that can't do very much but i think i'm preaching to of several thousand young people born in the house of praise we've come to praise him according come on stop and think about it according son of judah daughter of judah praise him praise him hallelujah clap your hands all your people shout unto god with the voice of triumph the psalmist said i will lift my hands in the sanctuary and i will bless the lord i've come to give him praise right now son of jude the daughter of judah give the lord some high praise come on praise him according to his excellent greatness hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah you can be seated here today i'm glad to be a son of judah i'm glad to be born in the house of judah these sons of judah these five sons of judah were not only born in the house of praise but brothers and sisters they were born in the family of jesus christ did you hear that they were direct antecedents of jesus christ they were direct descendants of abraham they had the blessings of abraham on them isaac was the great grandfather and jacob was their grandfather that meant they had blessing that meant they had favor some of my favorite words that meant they had the smile of god on their life can i just stop and tell you there ain't nothing like the blessing of god there ain't nothing like being in the family of jesus and having his favor i'm telling you i've prayed all my life i'm not ashamed to say it i've said jesus i want your blessings on my life i want you to bless my heart i want you to bless my mind i want come on now anybody interested in the blessings of god i want god's blessings on my family i want god's blessing on my home i want god's blessing on my church i i can't do it on my i gotta have the favor come on young people you need to fall in love with the blessings of god you need to chase it down you need to pursue it amen am i preaching to anybody today that has not lost the beauty of being saved in the house of jesus is there anybody that's still shouting happy to be filled with the holy ghost baptized in the name of jesus let others sit back and act cool and composed i'm not in that sophisticated group that's bored with jesus i'm not bored with his house i'm not too cool to sweat my suit out come on now there ain't nothing like being blessed am i still preaching to several thousand young people that still get excited when i think about what jesus has done i got his blessing i got his birthright i'm in the house of abraham come on somebody ought to thank god you're not anybody you're not just any young person but you've been born again you've been bought with the christ you've been baptized in the name of jesus oh you ought to praise him for just about 30 seconds like you've lost your mind come on put away the coolness put away the sophistication wave your hands and shout hallelujah hallelujah this ain't my message and i'm not trying to be unkind but can i remind pentecosta there's nothing wrong with unrestrained worship at times i do a little kind of i don't know kind of kind of calm shout you know kind of shuffle my feet but every now and then every now and you need to lose your mind every night not hurt somebody next to you but every now and then you need to quit uncross your arms quit doing the little shuffle that you've learned and just let the holy ghost i'm in the house of jesus i got the holy ghost i got the holy ghost i got i'm blessed i got favor abraham's blessings are mine come on give him praise in this house amen look at somebody tell them i'm in the house of abraham tell them i'm in the family of jesus amen you can be seated here today amen we're a blessed people look at your neighbor and tell them we're blessed people and these five sons of judah everybody listen to me now five sons of judah we're in the house of praise and in the house of jesus i want you to think about these boys for just a moment these first two sons you have possibly heard about er and onan possibly but if you've heard about them the reason you've heard about them is because they were so wretchedly bad these dudes are pathetic can i tell you how pathetic they were they were so pathetic that even god didn't like them they were so bad you know you meet some people and you think well at least god like god apparently he may have liked him but he didn't treat him like it they were so bad that god killed them did you know that both of them one after the other and that's really just about all we know about them we know they were bad er married tamar he was so wicked that god killed him on all we know about him is he was so selfish that he did not want his kids to be attributed to his dead brother's name so god killed him i could preach about that for a moment all i know is they were so wicked are you hearing me that they lost the birthing in the birthright the blessing and the birthright due to extreme evil these guys are in a select group if you think about them you think of names like korra names like ananias and sapphira i'm here to tell you i don't want to be in that group but can i tell you you can be in the house of judah and be in that group i don't want to be in that group we read about two other sons the last two children of judah by the name of ferez in zarah everybody say ferez everyone say zara these boys they were twins they were in the womb of of this this woman by the name of tamar it's a long story i will not go into it but it's a sordid sad depressing tale in the life of judah these twins are in the womb and judah's the father tamar really his daughter-in-law is the mother the twins are in the womb and they are struggling in the womb the bible says that when she's in travail here she begins to have have a baby and i want you to understand this the first one of these babies to be born would have been in the house not just in the house of judah but would have been the one that would receive the blessing of abraham whichever one of these children that was born first would have been the one that would be the great great great great granddaddy of jesus christ whichever one of these babies that would be born first you would read about them in matthew 1 in matthew's genealogy in luke 3 luke's genealogy but the bible says when this woman is having a baby she travailed and one of the babies okay in the process a little hand comes forth and the midwife grabs the hand real quick and ties a red a scarlet thread around the hand to mark that this baby came fro came forth the first the the hand is withdrawn and then somehow it's like the other baby gets his brother in a headlock step aside bubba i gotta have the blessing i gotta have the birthright pushes him back and here comes ferez blessed and highly favored of god it's an interesting story these boys are known not like ur and onan for wickedness they are known for their struggle for the blessings of god they're in a group a select group in the bible that are that are passionate about the blessings of god they they he's in the same group ferez is with with uh with grandpa jacob that would would try to deceive his brother esau and deceive his father isaac and would wrestle with the angel so he could have the blessing of god i'm going to tell you i want to be favored highly favored anybody want to be highly favored of god these babies are in a the category with moses that in the book of uh uh exodus chapter 32 would look at the lord and say those words that stir me have always stirred me that's he he asks god he backs him into the corner and tells him what he had been wanting all his life he said i beseech thee show me thy glory ferez is in that company perez is in the company czar is in the company of david that would say things like one thing have i desired of the lord and that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to inquire in his temple they were in the company of david that would say as the heart pantheth after the water brook said so penteth my soul after thee o god they were in the company of paul that would say that i may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings i gotta know am i preaching to any young people that have a desperation and a desire for god today hallelujah hallelujah i've come to ask you whatever happened to people that were so driven by a desire for god that it marked them whatever happened to young people that were so hungry for the things of god whatever happened to fasting whatever happened to praying praying until your face is disfigured from intercessory prayer am i preaching to some young men am i preaching to some young young ladies that would say god i gotta have your glory god i gotta see your face god i've gotta be in your family god i've gotta have the blessing of the lord if you feel that way lift your hands and ask him for it today come on lift your hands and voice right now hallelujah hallelujah you can be seated here today i and so er and onan everybody say er and onan amen they're known for wickedness you've got zara and ferrez they're known for an extreme desire for god but there was a another group one soul one son the middle child of judah that i would venture to say the very few in this house before i read this text could have given me the name of the middle son of judah the middle son the third son he's a shadowy figure if you'll allow me this this boy by the name of sheila is the sun in the shadows and yet and i need you to hear me now and yet he was in line if i read my bible right he was next in line for the blessing of abraham this guy should have been the great great great great great granddaddy of jesus christ he was the successor to the greatest prize that the world had ever seen think about it we should have been reading about sheila in matthew 1 and luke chapter 3 in the genealogies of jesus christ sheila should have been the one it should have been abraham and isaac and jacob and judah and sheila but somehow sheila did not get it somehow he lost out and i hope you'll you'll engage with me now somehow let your spirit respond to this this man missed out on being in the genealogy genealogy of jesus christ he's just another forgettable figure in history let me tell you and i pray oh god that this with thunder in this house today just because you're born into the church doesn't mean that you automatically get this thing i'm nothing i'm nobody but if anybody's qualified to tell you it doesn't matter who your family is it doesn't matter who your daddy is it doesn't matter what your last name is oh let god thunder in this house today just because you're born into the church doesn't automatically mean that somehow you emerge into that great place of blessing oh i preach now you've got to love it you've got to want it you've got to seek it you've got to as jude says earnestly contend for the faith can i preach to some young men it's time for you to fight for this truth it's time for you to get out your bible it's time for you to get out your bible young lady it's time for you to begin to study it out for yourself being born into a christian home doesn't automatically mean you're a christian but somebody has got to say jesus i gotta have it i gotta have it it means more than anything more than my next breath more than my next meal more than life itself i gotta have the blessings of the almighty god come on lift your voice to god if you want the blessing you got to chase it if you want the blessing you've got to pursue it if you want the blessing you've got to say i got to have it if you want the blessing you've got to pay for it it's there you're in the house of praise you're in the family of christ but you've got to chase it down i gotta have the blessing of god all across this house lift your voice amen you can be seated today sheila lost the prize sheila missed out and i got a question for you today i got a question i got a question you ought to be asking this question pastors we need to be asking this question youth pastor mom and dad young people you need to be asking this question how did sheila born born into the house of praise born into the family of god how did sheila lose the price best we can tell he did not lose it due to extreme wickedness like er and onan best we can tell he did not lose it due to birth order he looks like he was number one after iron onan's gone best we can tell it was not some kind of timing issue and this is what i've come to preach today how did he lose it how did he miss out on the greatest blessing the greatest promise the greatest opportunity that the world has ever seen i'm going to tell you this ain't a small deal i'm talking about today the propagation of the gospel and the continuation of this apostolic truth is not a small deal let me tell you how much god cares about it god will take on her and he'll throw him out god will take an own hand and he'll toss him out because i'm here to tell you this world has got to have this apostolic one god jesus name tongue talking message i said it when i started out the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church but brothers and sisters we got to be a part of it we got to be in it this world's got to see it your city's got to have it my city's got to have it it's revival time it's revival time 2021 it's revival time it's holy ghost time it's time for people to get the holy ghost by the tens and the twenties it's time for new daughter works to be born it's time for your sunday school to blow up it's time to get back on the bus it's time to get new buses it's time to get a whole bunch more buses it's time for you to emerge into what god wants you to be this is a great thing that we're involved in amen you can be seated how did sheila lose it i don't think he lost it to wickedness best i can tell i don't think he lost it due to birth order but i pray you'll hear me now the best i can tell is sheila lost the greatest prize that the world had ever seen because he simply remained in the shadows sheila never emerged sheila never did anything this young man didn't do anything good he didn't do anything bad to distinguish himself he came to peak he just stayed in the shadows he shouted he danced he stomped his feet but he stayed in the shadows sheila never fulfilled the responsibility of being a son of promise to whom much is given much is required but sheila never fulfilled the responsibility of being a son of abraham he shouted with the best of them he heard the praise of judah he heard the best choirs he may have even been in the best choir he heard the best music he saw the hand clapping the foot stomp and tongue talking he knew all about worship and praise he was the son of judah he knew how to shout with the best but he never emerged from the shadow he did nothing he said nothing he was nothing he remained in the shadows and disappeared into history and no body a sun in the shadow and i've come to preach to a young man and a young lady i don't know where you are i don't know who you are i think there's a whole bunch of us that the holy ghost is reaching for here today i'm not talking about personality he's not calling you to be an extrovert he's calling you to be involved in his will he's not calling you to somehow change and get a lobotomy and think different so you can be the life of the party he's just saying get up get up get out of the shadows i believe also sheila lost it due to a father i i got to put some of the blame on this on sheila's father judah come on listen to me now and i'm not just preaching to parents but i am preaching to parents i believe sheila also lost it due to having a father that refused to allow him to take risks for spiritual ends judah had promised sheila to tamar basically he was saying you'll be involved in the family of christ tamar he'll marry you when he comes of age urge two wicked own hands to selfish sheila you'll take his place but he never did and judah later confessed his folly for not doing it i've come to preach it's a shame in the it's a it's a shame when parents throttle back their children their involvement in the church to protect them can i tell you when you throttle back your kids involvement in church to protect them you are harming them and i don't mean to be rude and obnoxious but i've seen parents tell their kids no you can't quit high school ball because the scouts are serving or watching you you can't quit the high school varsity to serve god because scouts are after you you might make it big it's too much to give up you you i've seen parents that when their child came that god got out of drugs and alcohol they were like why don't you just quit that nonsense that church stuff what's wrong with you i mean are you really going to stop cutting your hair that's too radical that's too radical i've come to tell your parents and i've come to tell young people and i've come to tell pastors and i've come to preach to myself let those kids sacrifice [Applause] sacrifice sacrifice oh it's radical but it's right sacrifice whatever happened to the hannas that said lord here's my baby give me one and i'll give it back to you i've come to preach sacrifice sacrifice is ugly and sacrifice is raw and sacrifice by definition is painful but let your kids sacrifice sacrifice looks like this it looks like abraham laying his boy on an altar with a knife raised this is what sacrifice looks like it looks like an old rugged cross don't paint it pretty it looks like a crown of thorns don't try to beautify it it looks like spikes and stripes and blood and gore that's what sacrifice looks like and can i tell this church we need a revival of sacrifice oh god we need a revival of sacrificial prayer we need a revival of sacrificial giving we need a revival of sacrificial fasting we need a reviving of sacrifice it ain't pretty but sacrifice will change the world oh come on lift your voice lift your hands the holy ghost is working come on somebody invite the spirit of sacrifice i need calvary to come down i need calvary to come down mamas and daddies young people preachers pray it down we need calvary in this house i'll never forget you can be seated years ago hearing bishop nate wilson i salute you talking about hope corps introducing it in its infant stages before it came became the force that it is today he was talking to a group of preachers maybe it was the general counsel i don't know but he made this radical statement he said somewhere sometime somebody in hope corps is going to get hurt sometimes some where somebody may even get kidnapped somebody may die amen how's that for a plug for hope court but he went on to say because i am plugging hope court today he said so what do we do shut them all down let the mormons own it or do we say we're going to be safe we're going to train we're going to do our best are we going to keep them in the shadows or are we going to shove them out and say go and be what god called you to be i'm going to tell you that's what's happening in our world today you got kids that are enlisting in the in the military you got kids that are that are involving themselves in all kinds of causes have you got kids that are that disappear and show up in al qaeda halfway across the world you you got you got young people that are involving themselves in sports and they do get concussions and their knees blown out and their hands messed up but they were in there because god gave them energy god gave him radical zeal [Music] hallelujah it ain't justin forgive me i ain't being unkind to the mormons but it's not just the mormons that ought to have missionaries out doing uh what they believe is right i want to scream this out tonight god did not give you energy to waste on this world god did not give you talent to waste on this world god did not give you your time to waste on cheap entertainment [Applause] but god gave you strength and zeal and time to for radical sacrifice come on step out go go go go go go do something for god give something to god go it's time to be radical for him forgive the personal reference but some of you know this story i'll try to tell it quick it was a sunday morning i was on my way to church i believe it was january of 19 sunday morning on the way to church i got the call every pastor does not want to have it was a call from our assistant pastor saying somebody just got injured on the bus ministry somebody just got hit by a car and then it then he said and it was your niece my brother phillips daughter tristan and uh my heart quickened oh god have mercy and uh i want to tell it quickly she she was she was on bus outreach going to invite or would already invited somebody they were committed to come to sunday school and they were going to grab to get them at the door drunk driver came around the corner uh going uh somewhere between 50 and 70 miles an hour blew a stop sign hit little tristan who's here today knocked her 90 fuss plus feet in the air when she landed it i don't want to be graphic but it was a mess they had to take a guy one of the guys was just walking by took off his shirt to cover her it was it was a mess they thought she died on the spot even the paramedics later thought she she didn't make it and and everybody involved and they they took her to the hospital i want to tell this quickly and uh the news was so bad the surgeon looked at me and and was talking to my to to her parents and begin to the first one in the er he said she's got a uh basically a like an embolism is that what it is basically a swollen artery ready to burst in her heart and uh if if that happens it's instantaneous death i could tell this surgeon had fear on his face and then they began to talk about uh brain issues and and body issues and all of her organs were damaged legs smashed and i mean it was just devastating it was horrible and uh but i'm going to tell you that jesus began to step into that messy situation one piece at a time i wasn't there for all of it but i was there for most of it those same surgeons would walk back in and say you know looks like that bulge on that artery is going to be all right the brain surgeon would come back in and say there's no cognitive loss the heart specialist the bone specialist the knee specialist i think she's going to be okay i asked her if it was okay to tell this i will never forget as she laid in that bed that hospital bed at this point she's still comatose in a coma we don't know what kind of cognitive damage there is and there she lay and and she began to awake and at first all she could do was move her hands oh thank god when she could do that and then she began to sign with her hands and then she was able to say a little bit and she began to sign the song the first pentecostal church little rock sings that says chains are broken i wish i could sing eyes are open miracles are in this place hearts are mended grace extended miracles are in this place and then she began to sing a miracle can happen a miracle can happen a miracle can happen in this place with jesus it will happen with jesus it will happen with jesus it will happen in this place i've still come to tell you that we serve a healing god i wouldn't want to be in any other family the blessing and the favor and the smile can be seated but i've come to tell you i'm thankful for the miracle but can i tell you there's a lot of things that go through your mind when you get those kind of phone calls brother will banks you really do as a pastor because you love your people you wonder do we shut the bus down i mean i don't want anybody to die liability and issues and all of this stuff and i i will tell you we have you know we we do our best with training and and and guidelines and all the systems that we can do and i bet but i'm gonna tell you at some point you just gotta go and do the work of god my brother looked at tristan after she had come back to herself where she could talk and he asked her kind of messing with her a little bit he said what do we do tristan should we shut down our bus program and she looked at him like he had lost his mind and then he asked her he said when are you going to get back on the bus and she said as soon as i physically can [Applause] and just about a couple months ago she went to a door knocked on the door on that same street people opened it up and then and she said i'm from inland lighthouse he said yeah that's the one that car came and hit a girl and she died and she said no i'm that girl and i'm back knocking on your door i've come to tell pete because this world needs that kind of radical commitment to jesus get out of the shadows get out of the shadow because i've come to tell you there's a greater danger than being hit by a car with a drunk driver there's a greater danger than being kidnapped on hope court and that is the danger of remaining in the shadows there's a greater danger that's the anonymity in the house of praise sheila sheila who i heard about her and i heard about onan and i kind of heard about ferez and zara but who's that middle son there's a greater danger can i preach to you today that is raising a neutered powerless pentecostal church pampered and powdered that got no sacrifice the greater death than physical death is spiritual death dead carnal no passion no i've come to fire and i've come to reach today sitting in the house of praise untouched by the cause of jesus sitting in the house of praise unmoved by the incredible story of jesus sitting in the house of praise unmoved by the overarching mega narrative of the history of jesus that flows from abraham and isaac and jacob and judah all the way through pharah's town to us today don't you sit here don't you dare be here jesus name church one god church tongue talking church holiness church sitting there sitting i'm gonna tell you it's scary if the only thing that moves you is a new video game if the only thing that occupies your time is being on your favorite social media i've come to i'm just here to tell you we got to be radical about this you know what's worse than david maybe being hurt by goliath david hiding in the rocks with the rest of his brothers you know what's worse than being in a fiery furnace not being in a fiery furnace bowing the knee you know what's worse than a lion stand not being in the lion's den you know what's worse than not oh come on we need to be a radical tongue talking jesus name apostolic [Applause] come on pray right now i'm i'm not done but i'm getting there i need the holy ghost to press with me foreign i got a question for you is this too radical for you if this is too radical for you i got a question for you are you serious have you forgotten the world in which we live this is a radical world there's radical forces pulling at you this is the world where the suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15 to 19 year olds and you want me to tell my kids to stay at home and not knock doors you're out of your mind [Applause] i've come to tell you sign up for your hoop corps and go and go and go and go get on that bus and go and go and get you a bible study chart and go and go and go i preach to you today it's got to be radical this world is messed up it's hopeless it's full of clueless young people causeless young people looking for a cause any voice that's loud enough they're gonna follow any cause bigger than themselves i'm gonna tell you if you stay in the shadows you're easy pray for the spirit of error there's spirits on your trail there's voices speaking in your ear there's mocking voices insinuating voices against god mocking voices that that that are camouflaged to sound intellectual they're they're couched in so-called truth but i'm going to tell you those voices every line of them is laced with the poison of error and if you sit in the shadows come on you got to get radical get radical come on get out get up those voices are talking to you they spoke to you on the way to peak they're going to be there when you leave peak you know the anecdote to that poison [Music] you know the antidote to that poison sacrifice you know the ant praying in the holy ghost nothing better nothing funner i wish i could say i get there every day brother jackson i but when i do get there i tell jesus like i heard elder johnny carroll years ago i saw him sitting on the platform of our church and he was praying he'd put his hands over his head and he would groan oh he'd groan he'd pray six to eight hours a day in that sanctuary and i'd just come and watch and he'd say oh and then he'd say jesus this is my favorite time of the day jesus nobody makes me do this oh and every now and then when i get there i say jesus this is my favorite time of the day nobody makes me do this i i'm going to tell you you want to learn how to pray get radical get radical get radical you may not get there every day but you'll get there and it'll keep you from the spirit of error mama you think this is crazy preaching i tell you it's crazy to hold them back there's voices that are questioning whether or not god exists there's voices that are questioning whether or not god's bible is the word of god there's voices that are questioning who these young people are some of them have asked am i a boy or am i a girl or am i somewhere in between can i tell you that the solution to that is still the word of god and radical sacrifice that you give yourself to a cough come on sheila get up get up get up i've come to get you up i've come to grab you by the hand if need be i'll kick you in the behind a little bit and say get up where are you who's in the shot get up you may have been in pete choir but have you been anonymous you're sitting in the background it's time for you to get up get up do something be something say something come on it's got to be radical [Applause] musicians everybody's standing holy ghost is about to move in this house in a great way come on reach out to him [Music] [Music] hallelujah hallelujah i don't believe i don't believe that pentecost biggest problem is the wicked urs and onans that's just my opinion and i'm not here to get on to anybody i've come to say there's a better way i think pentecost problem is there's too many sheila's these boys these little sons if you will sitting in the shadows and i want you to hear me today i believe there's a large contingent here that god has called you're a son of destiny you're a daughter of destiny young lady you've heard the call of god can i tell you yes i know god calls all kinds in fact i believe everybody in this place is called the ministry hear me god's called something to be business men and women god's called some to be ushers and musicians and soul winners sunday school teachers in fact he's called every one of you to be a soul winner i know that but i also believe and i just felt to do this god still calls preachers [Music] [Applause] god calls preachers and i believe the hand of god is reaching today i think i was about 16 or 17. i was sitting on the front row of that church in heroic grandview brother barrier on the left side he usually said on the right side i don't even know why i was on that side the prophet was preaching he was a prophet [Music] he's walking back and forth give the personal story but he stopped in front of me [Music] came back stopped looked at me said stand up i stood up i'm 10 [Music] i've been hearing god call like brother williams said last night i was different it wasn't sports but i did not want to preach i wanted to be a preacher but i didn't want to preach does that make any sense not at all i know i wanted god but i didn't want to be up here stand up and he said it's time for you to come out from behind your father's coattails i have called you to be a fisher of men stop stop listen and the voice of god still calls the voice of god still calls sun in the shadow daughter in the shadow god is calling you emerged into his calling it's a life i'm not going to sugarcoat it because jesus didn't you know how jesus got disciples he said take up your cross and follow me he didn't say you follow me you'll never have another problem brother go there he said take up your cross and follow me i'm going to tell you it's a life of radical sacrifice but oh how fulfilling favor it's a life a startling consecration but it's what you were born for son of judah [Music] you weren't born just to be in the house of praise you were born to be an integral part of the continuation of the gospel from abraham to jesus and beyond today you were not created to sit on a pentecostal pew i'm just telling you this has got to be radical today the call is radical i don't apologize for nothing i'm about to say the call is everything everything when he calls you throw your nets aside you sell the boats when god calls it's everything everything's on the table your job's on the table your career is on the table your education's on the table where you lives on the table your marriage your future spouse is on the table is that too radical i tell you it's got to be radical and today i hear the call of god come out of the shadows today as they begin to pray i am going to make this place an altar call from front to back and side to side and i want to say this god is calling some of you i want to speak speak specifically to some young preachers come out from behind your father's coattails come out from whatever it is that's hindered you maybe you need to come out from behind the fact that you don't have a father come out of the shadows right now as the church is praying the holy ghost is reaching i pray a spirit of sacrifice hello bo come on would you help me pray men of god women of god pray a spirit of sacrifice into this house [Music] there's a greater danger being lost in the house there's a greater danger staying anonymous in the house of judah there's a greater danger come on mom and dad let him go let him go let him go come on young ladies step out to your destiny [Music] all i have is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Applause] shadows [Music] here i am [Music] [Applause] here i am [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
