25:30>> [music]
25:32>> 1 Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good
25:37fight of faith.
25:39Lay hold on eternal life, where unto
25:43thou art also called and hast professed
25:46a good profession before many
25:48witnesses."
25:50This year at Mid America Conference, I
25:52believe that we're going to lay hold on
25:53many things. I believe that miracles can
25:56happen. I believe that breakthroughs can
25:59happen. I still believe that miracles
26:02are possible. [music]
26:03But but at Mid America Conference, I
26:06want to lay hold upon the most important
26:08[music] thing to me, and that is eternal
26:11life. I don't know about you, but I'm
26:13glad [music] to be bought with a price.
26:16I went down in Jesus' name. Uh I obeyed
26:19Acts 2 and [music] verse 38 that said,
26:22"Repent and be baptized." every one of
26:26you [music] uh in the name of Jesus
26:28Christ uh for the remission of your sins
26:31and you shall receive the gift of the
26:35Holy Ghost. I'm thankful that I've laid
26:39hold on [music] eternal life and I'm not
26:41going to let it go at this year at Mid
26:44America [music] Conference. I'm going to
26:46lay hold one more time and let hell know
26:50I'm on my way [music] to heaven.
26:58Oh, come on. Somebody put your hands
26:59[music] together all across the room
27:01right there. Come on.
27:03I was headed for hell, but then you
27:06[music and singing] rescued me. I was
27:07stuck in my sh, but now I've been set
27:10free. Now heaven's my home for all
27:12eternity. [singing]
27:14I once was blind, [music] but now I see.
27:17I was headed for hell until you rescued
27:20me. I was stuck in my shame, [music] but
27:22now I've been set free. Now heaven is my
27:25home for all eternity. I once was blind,
27:29but now I see. [music] I believe in
27:32Jesus name. I believe he died to save.
27:38On the [music] cross he clear my name.

55:49Oh, hallelujah.
55:51Glory.
55:57Just remain standing. Go back to your
56:00seats. We are so thankful for the
56:04presence of the Lord that is in this
56:06sanctuary tonight. There's been prayer
56:09and fasting go forth before this meeting
56:14ever began.
56:16And we are believing God to do what only
56:20he can do and that is touch hearts
56:25here in this house tonight. And we're so
56:29blessed this evening to have a man of
56:33God,
56:35a man that I have great admiration,
56:40love, respect for. I've watched him
56:44discipline himself
56:46and
56:48uh
56:51study, pray, fast.
56:54And I told him actually today I said you
56:59know when you started out you were
57:02brother Tim Copelan's son
57:05and of course that's a high honor but
57:10tonight he comes to this pull pit in his
57:13own anointing and is his own authority
57:17in the Holy Ghost. And I am thankful for
57:20brother Clark Copelan. I love him and I
57:25appreciate his walk with God.
57:29I appreciate the passion that he
57:33exhibits in the pull pit. But more than
57:37just how he is in the pull pit, I
57:40appreciate the man he is when he is not
57:44in the pull pit. Young people, I want to
57:47tell you tonight, there's a better way.
57:52And it's this Holy Ghost way.
57:55It's being authentic
57:57apostolic.
58:01Hallelujah. Brother Clark Copelan,
58:03you're one of those. And we want you to
58:05come tonight. Preach the word of God to
58:07us. We love you. Let's welcome the man
58:10of God to this pull pit tonight.
58:18Come on. Can we give Jesus some praise
58:20all over this house right now? Would you
58:22clap your hands to the Lord?
58:26Hallelujah. Come on. Would you really
58:28give him some praise in this house right
58:29now?
58:32Why don't you do what the psalmist said,
58:34[music] what he said? Clap your hands
58:36all ye people and shout unto God. Would
58:38you do that with me right now?
58:42Ah, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
58:45Come on. The writer [music] said,
58:46"Praises comely for the upright." That
58:48means it's appropriate when we come to
58:50church that we lift up [music] our
58:52voice, that we clap our hands and we
58:55give him some praise. Do I have some
58:57apostolic right now? You are the most
59:00high [music] that would lift up your
59:02voice and get in the Holy Ghost right
59:04now.
59:06[music]
59:08Come on. I wish right now on this
59:10Thursday night, somebody would [music]
59:12go ahead and give him some praise.
59:15I said it's timely for the upright.
59:18It's appropriate what we're doing right
59:20now.
59:23[music]
59:26Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
59:29[music]
59:29It is it is such an honor, such a treat
59:33uh to get to be at Mid America. What a
59:37uh tremendous honor it is to be here and
59:40get to be uh standing [music] before
59:42you. Uh, if you have your Bibles, I'll
59:45turn your attention to the book of 2
59:47Corinthians, chapter number 7.
59:50And while you're turning there, I want
59:53to give honor to Pastor Holmes and his
59:58wonderful wife. Um, you're such
1:00:00incredible people [music]
1:00:02and he has been a rock uh to me,
1:00:04especially the last few years of my
1:00:07life. Um,
1:00:10one thing growing up in a preachers's
1:00:13home and getting to be around ministry
1:00:16my whole life, one of the sad things is
1:00:20that there have been times that the
1:00:23closer I got to men, uh, that the more
1:00:26flaws that I seen and the more uh,
1:00:30mistakes that I would see and it was
1:00:33hard to battle uh, this battle in my
1:00:36mind of well, I see this in the pull
1:00:38pit, but I see another thing outside of
1:00:41the pull pit. But I am so thankful that
1:00:44there are men uh like brother Holmes and
1:00:46his wife uh who the closer you get to
1:00:49them, the more you realize there are
1:00:51real genuine apostolic Christians.
1:00:55They don't say one thing and do
1:00:57something else.
1:00:59Um thank you. Thank you for letting me
1:01:02be here. I love you, Bishop. I love you
1:01:05so much, Sister John. Um, the entire
1:01:08Holmes family, Benson and Natalie and
1:01:10Beatatric and Millie. Love and
1:01:12appreciate this family so much. Um, I'm
1:01:14thankful to have my pastor here, uh, my
1:01:17oldest brother. I love him so much. I'm
1:01:19so honored that he would be here. Uh, I
1:01:22think Benjamin is here somewhere and
1:01:24Deborah, his wife. Um, and my in-laws
1:01:26are here. My father-in-law, uh, my
1:01:29mother-in-law. I have a sister-in-law
1:01:31somewhere here. Uh, I got family all
1:01:34over this house. And of course my wife,
1:01:37I give her honor. I love and appreciate
1:01:39her so much. Um to the young people of
1:01:43FPC, I love you. Um I I'm so honored uh
1:01:48to get to be preaching to you tonight
1:01:51and I believe God's going to help us. Uh
1:01:53Brother Jennings, I appreciate you.
1:01:55Looking forward to getting to hear you
1:01:57tomorrow night. All these wonderful uh
1:01:59ministers, these are more than preachers
1:02:01up here. Uh these are my heroes. Um, and
1:02:05I count it such an honor to get to be uh
1:02:08standing before you today. 2 Corinthians
1:02:11chapter number 7 and verse number 10. 2
1:02:15Corinthians chapter number 7 and verse
1:02:17number 10.
1:02:21The Bible says, "For godly sorrow
1:02:25workketh repentance
1:02:28to salvation,
1:02:29not to be repented of,
1:02:32but the sorrow of the world
1:02:35workketh death." So there's two kinds of
1:02:39sorrow and two drastically different
1:02:42results.
1:02:44If you have the right kind of sorrow,
1:02:46you'll repent.
1:02:48But if you have the wrong kind of
1:02:50sorrow, you will die.
1:02:52Verse number 11 says, "For behold this
1:02:56self-same thing that ye sorrowed after a
1:02:59godly sword or you had the right kind of
1:03:02sorrow." It was godly sorrow. And and I
1:03:06want you to read the this this verse,
1:03:08the the pattern, the order that the
1:03:10Bible says that this godly sorrow
1:03:12produced. What carefulness it wrought in
1:03:16you. Yay, what clearing of yourselves? I
1:03:20love one translation that says, "What
1:03:23vindication of yourselves?"
1:03:26Yay, what indignation? This is all
1:03:28things that godly sorrow produced. What
1:03:31indignation? Yay, what fear? Yay, what
1:03:35vehem desire. Yay, what zeal? And my
1:03:39favorite, what revenge.
1:03:43What revenge.
1:03:46this godly sorrow that led you to
1:03:49repentance. [music]
1:03:50This is what it produced in your life.
1:03:52In all things ye have approved yourself
1:03:55to be clear in this matter. Then I'll
1:03:57take you to chapter number 10 and I'll
1:03:59read one verse. Let you be seated
1:04:02tonight. Chapter number 10.
1:04:05Verse number six. The Bible says, "And
1:04:08having in a readiness
1:04:10to revenge
1:04:13all disobedience
1:04:16when your obedience is fulfilled and
1:04:19having in a readiness to revenge all
1:04:23disobedience
1:04:24when your obedience
1:04:27is fulfilled."
1:04:29I've heard the term sweet revenge
1:04:33uh many times in my life
1:04:36and typically
1:04:38uh when someone uses that it's not uh in
1:04:42the most Christian sense um
1:04:46but I have found that there is there is
1:04:49a type of revenge
1:04:51that if you get a hold of it
1:04:55is the most sweet rewarding
1:04:59wonderful thing that you'll ever taste
1:05:02of. And I want to talk to you for just a
1:05:05little while on this subject. Avenging
1:05:09my past disobedience. [music]
1:05:12Avenging my past disobedience. Now, I'm
1:05:16not going to I'm not going to try to
1:05:18pull something on you that you ain't
1:05:20seeing coming. I'm going to go ahead and
1:05:21tell you tonight, I've come to preach
1:05:23hope to a [music] young person in this
1:05:25house tonight.
1:05:28I I believe in judgment. I believe in
1:05:30preaching on judgment. But I'm telling
1:05:32you, I felt in the Holy Ghost to come
1:05:34preach hope to somebody in the
1:05:37I I don't want to get ahead of myself,
1:05:39but let me go ahead and tell somebody in
1:05:40this house, you are going to make it.
1:05:44I said you are going to make it. You are
1:05:47going to come out of this. Come on. I
1:05:50know you felt defeated. I know you've
1:05:52been [music] down and I've come with a
1:05:54word from the Lord. You're going to come
1:05:56out of this thing.
1:05:59Come on. I said you're I wish somebody
1:06:01would lift up your hands [music] all
1:06:02over this house and go ahead and release
1:06:05your faith and your expectancy. I've
1:06:08come to tell [music] somebody God's
1:06:10going to pull you through. God's going
1:06:12I've come to preach condemnation over
1:06:14you. [music]
1:06:16I've come to preach doubt. God is going
1:06:18to use you. God is going to make
1:06:21something out of this generation.
1:06:24I want you to lift up your [music] hands
1:06:25all over this house from the front to
1:06:26the back. Boy, it feels good in here.
1:06:28Come on. I wish you lift up your hands
1:06:30front to back, side to side. Come on.
1:06:32And would you lift [music] up your voice
1:06:38Holy Ghost in [music] this house?
1:06:41Come on. Somebody's going to shake
1:06:42condemnation [music] over you tonight.
1:06:45Somebody's getting ready to shake down
1:06:47over you tonight. I'm saying it in the
1:06:49Holy [music] Ghost.
1:06:53I want you to give the Lord one more
1:06:55hand clap of praise all over this house.
1:07:04Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Be seated
1:07:05tonight. Thank you for standing and
1:07:08helping me. [snorts]
1:07:12One of the worst feelings that
1:07:15I have had that I've experienced
1:07:19many different times in my life is the
1:07:24feeling of letting someone down.
1:07:26It's a
1:07:28it's a disappointing feeling especially
1:07:30when you love the person that you know
1:07:33that you let down. I remember as a young
1:07:37man growing up as a teenager, there were
1:07:40definitely times that I would make my
1:07:43parents angry or upset at me. And that
1:07:46was a bad feeling. But I can tell you
1:07:48that there was not a worse feeling than
1:07:51disappointing them. I I would I would
1:07:54rather them come in and know they was
1:07:56angry than for them to come in and my
1:07:59mom sit down on the edge of my bed and
1:08:01look at me and say, "You let me down.
1:08:04You you talk about a you talk about a
1:08:06miserable feeling. Uh but as but as bad
1:08:10as that feeling is, I can tell you that
1:08:14there is no worse feeling than letting
1:08:16God down. There there's not a more
1:08:19miserable feeling than than saying,
1:08:21"God, I I I made a commitment to you and
1:08:24I said that I wasn't going to do it
1:08:26again. and I said I wasn't going to go
1:08:28there again or or commit that again, but
1:08:30I'm right back in the same mess that you
1:08:33just got me out of. After knowing you
1:08:36messed up, after knowing you did
1:08:38something you shouldn't have done, to
1:08:40have to go and look yourself in the
1:08:43mirror, eyeball to eyeball, and to
1:08:45realize that as good as God has been to
1:08:47you, that you failed him again. You let
1:08:51him down again. And I I remember I
1:08:54remember as a teenager uh going to
1:08:56conference after conference and and and
1:08:58and having encounters and having
1:09:00experiences with God. Then I would go
1:09:02home but nothing was really different in
1:09:05my life and nothing had really changed.
1:09:07And and and after all the services and
1:09:10all the preaching that I had heard, all
1:09:12the teaching that I had heard to be
1:09:14right back in the same mess that I
1:09:16promised God that if he got me out of
1:09:18it, I'd never go back to it again.
1:09:22The problem is that I've I've watched it
1:09:24and I've come to preach to some young
1:09:25people that this is where you're at.
1:09:27that instead of having a moment of
1:09:30weakness, instead of having a failure,
1:09:33instead of having a moment that you made
1:09:35the choice when when you went left when
1:09:37you really should have gone right, I've
1:09:39I've watched a lot of people I've
1:09:41watched young people that instead of of
1:09:44coming back to the altar on a Thursday
1:09:46night and repenting and letting God give
1:09:49them a brand new future, I've watched
1:09:51them unpack their bags, build a house,
1:09:54and live at their failure for the rest
1:09:57of their life. There there there are
1:10:00people that are sitting in churches
1:10:03every single Sunday that are condemned
1:10:06by failures that they have in their
1:10:08past. While God is there and and and the
1:10:12preacher is there trying to pull them
1:10:14into their future, trying to pull them
1:10:17into their calling, they have walked
1:10:19into a prison that they walked in
1:10:22themselves. No one forced them to be
1:10:24there, but they locked the key and they
1:10:27or they locked the door and they threw
1:10:29away the key and they are choosing to
1:10:31stay in a self-prison of doubt for the
1:10:34rest of their lives.
1:10:36We must understand that the devil is so
1:10:39good at capitalizing on a bad moment.
1:10:43>> He He He's not only going to step in
1:10:44when when we're at our best, when it's
1:10:46Sunday night and we just got done
1:10:48worshiping and running and dancing and
1:10:50talking in tongues. But I'm going to
1:10:52tell you what. If there's ever a moment
1:10:54that he's going to be there, it's going
1:10:55to be the moment that you fail. It's
1:10:57going to be the moment that you mess up.
1:10:59And what does he say? I tell you what he
1:11:01says. You've done it again.
1:11:04Well, h you you you really think God is
1:11:07going to use you again after you just
1:11:09disappointed him. After after you just
1:11:12told him that you'd never go back to
1:11:14what he delivered you from. And now
1:11:16you're right back in it again. You're
1:11:18right back in the same sin. you're right
1:11:20back in the same mess that God just
1:11:22delivered you out of. I want to tell you
1:11:25that it is the will of God that when you
1:11:29sin, you feel something called sorrow.
1:11:34>> But but just just as important as it is
1:11:37that you feel sorrow, it's even that
1:11:40much more important that you feel the
1:11:42right kind of sorrow. One kind of sorrow
1:11:45will lead you to repentance, but the
1:11:47other kind of sorrow will lead you to
1:11:49death. That's why it matters when you
1:11:51fall. It matters what voice you listen
1:11:53to. Come on. Cuz I'm telling you, if
1:11:56when you fall, the voice is saying,
1:11:58"Don't go to the altar," that's the
1:12:00wrong kind of sorrow. If when you mess
1:12:02up, there's a voice saying, "God will
1:12:04never use you again," I'm telling you,
1:12:07that's the wrong kind of sorrow.
1:12:10>> [applause]
1:12:11>> So, so the way the way that God the way
1:12:16that godly sorrow will produce
1:12:19repentance is through conviction.
1:12:23>> But the way that the sorrow of the world
1:12:25will produce death in your life is
1:12:28through condemnation.
1:12:30>> Now, now, now you got to understand that
1:12:32there may be moments where where
1:12:34conviction and condemnation, they may
1:12:36feel similar. It may it may feel like
1:12:39the same thing, but I'm telling you,
1:12:40here's what the difference is. It's
1:12:42where it's leading you. Why? Because
1:12:45condemnation will always lead you to
1:12:47death. Condemnation will always lead you
1:12:50down a path of self-destruction.
1:12:53Oh, but when you when you have the right
1:12:55kind of sorrow, there's something in you
1:12:58that says, "I may have messed up, but I
1:13:00can repent. I may have messed up, but
1:13:03God can still use me. [cheering]
1:13:06>> [applause]
1:13:12>> We we got to understand that that that
1:13:15conviction
1:13:16always comes from God
1:13:21and and condemnation
1:13:23always comes from the devil.
1:13:26>> Here here's the voice of condemnation. I
1:13:29can't believe I did that and now
1:13:32>> God will never use me again. Here's the
1:13:36voice of conviction. I can't believe I
1:13:38did that. But there's got to be a way
1:13:40back.
1:13:42>> Here. Here. Here's what here's what
1:13:45condemnation does. Condemnation makes
1:13:47you run away from God. But when you have
1:13:50conviction, it makes you run to God.
1:13:53Condemnation says you failed and you'll
1:13:56never recover from this one. But let me
1:13:58tell you what conviction says. You
1:14:00failed. Now [screaming] repent. get up
1:14:02and go back to what you was doing
1:14:04before. Here's what condemnation says.
1:14:07You messed up. And that's all you'll
1:14:09ever be is a failure. But I tell you
1:14:11what conviction says. You messed up. But
1:14:14you're not a failure. You're not a
1:14:16mistake. You're not a throwaway. Come
1:14:19on. It matters what you listen to. It
1:14:22matters what you're thinking about.
1:14:28>> [applause]
1:14:29>> See, if if if the devil cannot destroy
1:14:32me with my failure, he will destroy me
1:14:34with condemnation after my failure.
1:14:37>> If if he I said if he can't destroy me
1:14:40with the failure, he's going to get in
1:14:41my head so so strong and in such a wrong
1:14:44way that I don't believe God will ever
1:14:46make anything out of me. And I don't
1:14:48believe God will ever use me again. I'm
1:14:50just I just want to preach to you
1:14:52tonight. I believe there are near about
1:14:53more people that are that are bound
1:14:56today and that don't pray through
1:14:57because of condemnation
1:15:00>> more than just about anything you could
1:15:02think of.
1:15:03>> There there there's even there's even
1:15:05young people that are in this room
1:15:07tonight
1:15:09and you have felt the call of God and
1:15:12you have heard the voice of God. But
1:15:14what keeps you in the same place that
1:15:16you've always been in is that little
1:15:19voice of condemnation saying, "God will
1:15:22never make something out of you." Come
1:15:24on. I I've come to preach to somebody in
1:15:26this house. I believe before this
1:15:28service is over, come on. I believe the
1:15:30the script is going to be flipped in
1:15:33your life. Uh it's time for you to quit
1:15:35walking around in self-doubt saying,
1:15:37"God will never use me. God will never
1:15:39me." You've got to flip it around. God
1:15:42can use me.
1:15:43God can make something out of me.
1:15:45[screaming] God can anoint me. Come on.
1:15:48I wish you to lift up your hands all
1:15:49over this house for just a moment. Come
1:15:51on. Would you help me?
1:15:53Come on. Would you lift up your hands
1:15:54all over this house right now? Help me,
1:15:56Jesus.
1:16:10>> Hallelujah.
1:16:13Hallelujah.
1:16:16>> I remember I remember as a teenager I
1:16:18grew up in the church and I remember as
1:16:21a as a young man trying so hard to live
1:16:26for God during many seasons. I I mean I
1:16:31feel like I was doing a good job. I was
1:16:33I was praying. I was fasting. I was
1:16:35reading my Bible. I was living right. I
1:16:37was living clean. And I I had this I had
1:16:40this uh this this thought process and
1:16:43and and it's it's really what I want to
1:16:45address in this house tonight because
1:16:46there's some young people that this has
1:16:48been your problem. Here was my thought
1:16:50process. If I had one moment where I did
1:16:53not do exactly what I should have done,
1:16:55I could have a year of living right up
1:16:58to that point. But if but if I had one
1:17:00moment where I where I lived be below
1:17:03the level which God was calling me to
1:17:05live at. It was in in my mind it was as
1:17:07if God took that one year of living
1:17:10right, of being disciplined, of praying,
1:17:12of studying, of being consecrated, and
1:17:14he took a big old red Sharpie and he put
1:17:16an X
1:17:18right over everything I had done up to
1:17:20that point. And I felt like now I've got
1:17:23to restart from where I was last year.
1:17:26I've got to restart all the way from
1:17:28ground zero again. Thought about it's
1:17:30kind of it's kind of like how I have
1:17:32treated dieting and and and brother
1:17:34Holmes, you you've watched me do this so
1:17:36many times. But but but here here's how
1:17:38I am. I'm I'm I'm always on a diet near
1:17:41about every day of my life. And I'm
1:17:43always trying something. Here's here's
1:17:46been my perspective of dieting, of
1:17:49eating. If if I can't do it 100%.
1:17:53See See, I've had it. I I cannot tell
1:17:55you the times months will go by. I'm
1:17:57eating nothing but but chicken and
1:17:59broccoli and I'm doing so good and then
1:18:02I have one little slip up just just one
1:18:06little mistake and I and I look now I
1:18:08said you know man I done messed up I may
1:18:13as well enjoy it.
1:18:17I had some maybe it was you brother Ben
1:18:20somebody somebody today said hey
1:18:22something there I said take one bite I'm
1:18:24telling you I don't do one bite
1:18:27>> huh
1:18:29if I do one bite next thing I know it's
1:18:31gone
1:18:33and and that's been my that's been my
1:18:35outlook that's my perspect well if I can
1:18:38be 100% perfect at all times I may as
1:18:41well not even do it now now that's not a
1:18:43that's not a good way to live physically
1:18:45it's probably not the healthiest for me
1:18:47but I'm telling you, it is infinitely
1:18:49times worse when that's the way that we
1:18:51are spiritually.
1:18:53When we say, "Well, I messed up. I may
1:18:55as well stay down for a while.
1:18:57[screaming] Well, I had a little slip
1:18:58up. I may as well stay down for a week
1:19:00and go ahead and jump." No. I'm telling
1:19:02you, you believe the lie from the enemy.
1:19:05If when you fall, you believe you ought
1:19:07to stay down. No. I've come to preach to
1:19:09somebody. You know what you do when you
1:19:12fall? Get back to your feet. I said get
1:19:15back to your feet. Come on. I know
1:19:17you're not perfect, but you just keep on
1:19:20worshiping. I know you're not perfect,
1:19:23but you just keep on praising.
1:19:31[applause]
1:19:38>> This church knows me. And and and I
1:19:40don't I don't I don't I don't want to I
1:19:41don't want to spend too much time
1:19:43prefacing. I if you know me, you you
1:19:45just got to know. You just got to
1:19:47believe. I want you to listen to what
1:19:48I'm saying. Don't read into what I'm not
1:19:50preaching to you tonight. But I'm
1:19:52telling you, I know there's a lot of
1:19:53people in the church that they've done
1:19:55their power to convince young people
1:19:58that if they struggle, then they must
1:20:00not really have the Holy Ghost. Uh that
1:20:02if they fight temptation, uh then they
1:20:04must not really have the call of God on
1:20:06their life. Uh I've got to preach to a
1:20:08young person. Uh we don't glorify the
1:20:11struggle. We're not proud of our
1:20:13failures. But I want to preach to you.
1:20:15The only [screaming] people who do not
1:20:17fight are people who are not in the
1:20:20race.
1:20:22I said the only people that don't fight
1:20:24are [screaming] the ones that have quit.
1:20:26Come on. You know why you're here
1:20:28tonight? Cuz you're still trying. Cuz
1:20:31you're still fighting. Cuz you haven't
1:20:33lame.
1:20:35I wish I had somebody that would throw
1:20:37your hands in [screaming] the air and
1:20:39say, "I'm not I'm not quitting. I'm not
1:20:42quitting. I'm still in the fight.
1:20:56It was it was it was Paul that would
1:20:58write and say, "I die
1:21:01>> daily." Now, here here's something
1:21:03here's something I've learned about
1:21:05dying.
1:21:06It really never gets no easier.
1:21:12when I get up tomorrow and I know bishop
1:21:14it's time to die. Just because I did it
1:21:17today really don't mean it's going to be
1:21:18easier tomorrow.
1:21:20>> Hey, just because somebody consistently
1:21:23does something, that doesn't mean it's
1:21:25easy for him.
1:21:30>> I remember I met I met a man not long
1:21:33ago. He's a runner and and and he can
1:21:35run 10 12 miles at a time. And I asked
1:21:37him, I said, "Hey, when did it get
1:21:39easier for you to just lace up your
1:21:40shoes and start running?" And he started
1:21:43laughing. And I was confused like,
1:21:44"Huh?" He said, "It's as hard for me
1:21:47today to make myself go do it as it was
1:21:49on the first day. I just learned to do
1:21:51it anyway.
1:21:54I want to I want to preach to somebody
1:21:55in this house today. It don't never get
1:21:58easier to die." But guess what? That
1:22:00don't mean you don't need to do it. I
1:22:02tell you what Paul compared this to. He
1:22:04compared it to a race. I got the
1:22:07revelation. I'm not out of the race
1:22:09because I fell. I'm not out of the race
1:22:11because I stumbled. The only way I'm out
1:22:14of the race is if I fall and don't get
1:22:17back up.
1:22:20I said the only way I'm out of the raceh
1:22:23is if when I fall, I stay down. Come on.
1:22:26But I'm preaching to some people. I know
1:22:28you fought it, but you got back up. I
1:22:31know you hadn't been perfect, but look
1:22:34at where you are. [screaming]
1:22:44I wish somebody would lift up your hands
1:22:46and give them some praise in this house
1:22:47right now.
1:22:51Come on. I wish somebody would lift up
1:22:53your hands with me for just a moment in
1:22:54this house.
1:23:16I'm going preach I'mma preach to you
1:23:18that one of the favorite tricks of the
1:23:20enemy
1:23:22is to get you to fall and wallow in your
1:23:25sin.
1:23:33telling you, one of the worst things
1:23:34you'll ever do when you fall is fall and
1:23:39think you can't get back up.
1:23:43If if you if you will allow your failure
1:23:48to do in you what God is trying to get
1:23:51it to do, it will pull something out of
1:23:53you that nothing else can.
1:23:57I tell you, I've learned every every
1:24:00once in a while, boy, we're we're all
1:24:02flesh. We we all fat carnality. And it's
1:24:05something about living for God that that
1:24:07a little bit of time goes by and you
1:24:09know what we start thinking, I got this
1:24:11thing figured out.
1:24:13>> I can I can do it with prayer or I can
1:24:15do it without prayer. I can do it with
1:24:17this or I can do it. I'm telling you.
1:24:19And that's
1:24:23>> I'm telling you, every once in a while,
1:24:25it's good for you to look at yourself in
1:24:27the mirror and say, "If it had not been
1:24:29for the Lord who was on my side,
1:24:33every once in a while, it's good for you
1:24:35to realize, I still ain't nothing
1:24:37without God. I still can't make it
1:24:40without his grace. I still Come on. I
1:24:43need some adults to help me in this."
1:24:45You ought to thank God. God sent me to
1:24:47preach mercy to your kids. You ought to
1:24:50thank God. God sent me with a word of
1:24:52encouragement. Come on. I've got to
1:24:54preach mercy to you. [screaming]
1:24:56I'm telling you, you can make it.
1:25:02I need somebody to lift up your voice
1:25:04right now as [screaming] loud as you
1:25:06can. I can make it. I can make it. I can
1:25:10I'm still in the fight. I'm still in
1:25:12[screaming] the fight.
1:25:31You know what I've come to tell the
1:25:32devil tonight? Rejoice not against me,
1:25:35oh mine enemy. When I fall, I shall
1:25:38rise. I've come to tell these young
1:25:41people, if the devil can rejoice that I
1:25:44fell, surely I can rejoice that you got
1:25:47back up. Come on, parents. If the devil
1:25:50will rejoice that your son fell, I wish
1:25:53you'd stand to your feet and give them
1:25:55some praise that they're back again
1:25:59and they're worshiping again and they're
1:26:02running again and they're giving. They
1:26:05could be on a bar stool. Come on. They
1:26:07could be laid up in a bed with somebody.
1:26:09They could be in a ball game. Look at
1:26:11what they're doing. Look at where
1:26:13they're at.
1:26:21[cheering]
1:26:27>> Hey, don't don't tell me this generation
1:26:30don't love preaching.
1:26:35Listen. He said, he said, "When I fall,
1:26:40>> hey, when he says when I fall," you know
1:26:42what that tells me? It's going to
1:26:43happen.
1:26:45>> I don't want it to. I wish it wouldn't.
1:26:46I wish there way there was a way around
1:26:48it. I wish I had divine flesh and I
1:26:50didn't struggle. I didn't I never I
1:26:52never had a temptation. I never had a
1:26:54battle. But he didn't say that. He said,
1:26:56"When I fall, I'm confident that I'm
1:26:58going to fall." But here's what he
1:27:00followed up with. I shall arise.
1:27:03[screaming]
1:27:04As confident as I am that I'm going to
1:27:06fall, I'm that much more confident that
1:27:09I'm getting back up again. I said that
1:27:12I'm gay
1:27:14that I'm getting back up. I'm getting
1:27:17back up. Come on. I wish somebody would
1:27:20give him a get up praise in this house.
1:27:22I wish somebody would give him a praise
1:27:25that says, "I've been through it, but
1:27:27I'm back again.
1:27:42I I want I want I want you to hear this
1:27:45simple simple revelation tonight. Okay,
1:27:48this is so simple. But when I when I
1:27:50look back at my teenage years and and I
1:27:54look at some of my friends that I was
1:27:57closest to that are backslid today and
1:28:00they're not serving God today. If I was
1:28:02to take 15year-old Clark and 15year-old
1:28:06that person, I I can't tell you I can't
1:28:10tell you that I was just 10 times more
1:28:12spiritual or I I I just did I just did
1:28:15so many things better than them. But I
1:28:17can tell you what I didn't do. I didn't
1:28:19quit.
1:28:22[cheering and applause]
1:28:23I I hope you didn't come for a deep word
1:28:25because here's all I've come to tell
1:28:26somebody tonight. Don't quit.
1:28:29[cheering]
1:28:30I said just don't quit. Hey, I may have
1:28:33been a lot of things, but I tell you
1:28:35what, I've never been I've never been a
1:28:37quitter. I've been discouraged, but
1:28:40[screaming] I've never quit. I've been
1:28:42knocked down, but I've never quit. I've
1:28:45been talked about, but I'll never quit.
1:28:48Come on. I messed up, but I never never
1:28:51never never I never quit.
1:29:00Solomon Solomon would write and he would
1:29:02say, "Hey, there there's a time and
1:29:04there's a purpose for everything. There
1:29:05there's there's a time to plant. There's
1:29:07a time to sew. There's a time to be
1:29:09born. There's a time to die. A time to
1:29:12laugh. A time everything you can think
1:29:14of, there's a time for. But one thing he
1:29:17never said there was a time for was a
1:29:20time to quit. You know what he was
1:29:22saying? You can be discouraged, but keep
1:29:25coming to church. [cheering]
1:29:28You can be let down. Keep coming to
1:29:30church.
1:29:32You can be bloodied. Keep coming to
1:29:34church. I'm preaching to a young man.
1:29:36You better get this revelation. Just
1:29:38keep coming. Just keep trying. Don't
1:29:41throw in the I wish somebody [music]
1:29:43would lift up your voice. Come on right
1:29:45now. All over this house. All over this
1:29:47house. Come on. All over this house.
1:29:57Come on, lift up your hands. Help me
1:29:58pray right now for just a moment.
1:30:28See, sometimes we want some deep
1:30:30revelation. I've just come to tell
1:30:32somebody tonight,
1:30:34>> don't quit,
1:30:36[applause]
1:30:37man.
1:30:42I'll never forget I heard a heard
1:30:44brother Mark say this one time and I
1:30:46made this my motto for a long time in my
1:30:49life. I It's not that spiritually I'm
1:30:52either up or down. I'm either up
1:30:55or I'm on my way back up.
1:30:59>> I don't I don't have a down. I just have
1:31:01a on my way back up again option.
1:31:05>> [cheering]
1:31:05>> See,
1:31:08see, it's it's important that we
1:31:10understand that we do not lose our
1:31:13status with God as a son
1:31:17over a little mistake.
1:31:21>> Okay? Can Can I Can I say this again?
1:31:23Please don't read into what I'm not
1:31:25saying.
1:31:27>> Listen listen to what I'm listen to what
1:31:28I'm preaching to you. One of the most
1:31:30dangerous things that happens and I and
1:31:31I'm preaching to young people tonight.
1:31:33This happened to me so many times. I'd
1:31:35fall and here's what I would start
1:31:37thinking. Was I ever sincere in the
1:31:40first place?
1:31:43>> Did I Did I actually ever even pray
1:31:45through?
1:31:48Did I Did I actually even receive the
1:31:50Holy Ghost?
1:31:53>> Was it was it was it nothing but just
1:31:56emotionalism?
1:31:57>> I remember as a young man struggling
1:31:59with this verse. The Bible says in 1
1:32:02John chapter 3 and verse number eight,
1:32:04he that committh sin
1:32:06>> is of the devil.
1:32:08>> So, so, so as a young man, you want to
1:32:11hear my interpretation of that verse?
1:32:13I'm I'm living for God. Here I am. I'm
1:32:16living for God. I'm prayed through. I'm
1:32:18doing right. I'm a child of God.
1:32:22I make a mistake and all of a sudden I
1:32:24lose my sunship
1:32:27and now instead of being a child of God,
1:32:30I'm a child of the devil. But if you
1:32:33were to look this verse up and the
1:32:35original, it uses two present tense
1:32:38verbs
1:32:40suggesting or really rather proving that
1:32:43this is not just talking about an
1:32:45instance, it's talking about a pattern.
1:32:48So the ESV would say it like this.
1:32:50Whoever practices righteousness is
1:32:53righteous,
1:32:55>> but whoever not just sins one time, but
1:32:58whoever makes a practice of sinning
1:33:03>> is of the devil. In other words, what
1:33:05you continually practice is what you're
1:33:08going to become. There is a difference
1:33:10who is walking on the pathway of
1:33:12righteousness and stumbles and falls and
1:33:15gets back up. There's a difference in
1:33:17that in somebody that's just walking on
1:33:20the road of unrighteousness. I'm not
1:33:23preaching to you that sin doesn't
1:33:25matter. I'm not preaching to you that
1:33:27you can live however. But what I am
1:33:29preaching to you is that there is a
1:33:32birth.
1:33:39The same man, the same man that would
1:33:41write and say, "He that committh sin,
1:33:44who that does it continually, he's of
1:33:46his father, the devil." One chapter
1:33:48earlier, here's here's what he said.
1:33:50"But these things I write unto you, that
1:33:54ye sin not."
1:33:58>> Everybody say, "That's the goal."
1:33:59>> That's the goal.
1:34:00>> Now, that's why I'm here on Thursday
1:34:02night. That's why I keep coming to
1:34:04church cuz my goal, my ideal that I'm
1:34:07pursuing is to sin not. It's to get
1:34:12But I'm telling you here, here's how I
1:34:14imagine. I imagine that as John was
1:34:16sitting down and he was writing this
1:34:18epistle, when he got to the place that
1:34:20he said, "I'm writing unto you that you
1:34:23sin not," I just believe he started
1:34:25thinking about himself. I believe he
1:34:28started thinking about the people he was
1:34:30writing to. And here's what he followed
1:34:32up with. Uh, but if thou sin, we have an
1:34:36advocate with the father, Jesus. Jesus
1:34:41Christ the righteous. John was not
1:34:44giving me an excuse to sin. But he was
1:34:47telling me if I sin, there is mercy.
1:34:51There is grace. There is forgiveness for
1:34:54sin.
1:35:01Stretch your hands towards heaven in
1:35:03this house right now. Come on.
1:35:08Come on.
1:35:17Come on. I wish I had a mama in the
1:35:19risers that would lift up her voice
1:35:20right now.
1:35:38You know what I'd love to see preached
1:35:40out of every youth group that's in this
1:35:42building today? You know what I'd love
1:35:44to see run out of every youth group in
1:35:47every church that is present in this
1:35:49house today? It's that spirit, that
1:35:51nasty spirit of the older brother.
1:35:56That spirit that says, "Well, they
1:35:58messed up. They don't have a right to
1:36:00come back to church.
1:36:02>> You You better be careful when you want
1:36:04your pastor to kick."
1:36:10>> I wondered if I felt that spirit. I'm
1:36:12starting to feel it just a little bit.
1:36:14I'm telling you, God forbid that any
1:36:17apostolic that's filled with the
1:36:19[screaming] Holy Ghost wants to withhold
1:36:21mercy.
1:36:25I'm going to tell you what you're doing
1:36:28here. Here's what he said. He said he
1:36:30said when you sin, if you sin, you've
1:36:33got an advocate with the father. That's
1:36:35Jesus Christ.
1:36:37Now, you're braver than me to stand on
1:36:40the other side of that courtroom
1:36:42and try to speak condemnation over the
1:36:44same person that Jesus is speaking mercy
1:36:46over.
1:36:49Come on. If you if you want to fight
1:36:50against that, you can. But I'm telling
1:36:52you, I'd rather heir on the side of
1:36:54mercy 10 out of 10 [screaming] times
1:36:57than air on the side of judgment. I want
1:37:00to preach to somebody in this house.
1:37:02You're still in the church.
1:37:10Can we love them in this house for just
1:37:11a moment? Come on. Oh, hallelujah. Come
1:37:14on. Just for a moment.
1:37:22Woo.
1:37:24Come on. I want you to help me pray
1:37:26right now. I've come to tell somebody,
1:37:28you're not beyond the anointing of God.
1:37:30You're not beyond the call of God in
1:37:32your life. God can still use you.
1:37:37It was David that would say, "I'm weak
1:37:39today, but I'm still anointed. I'm
1:37:43struggling, but I'm still anointed.
1:37:58Hallelujah.
1:38:02>> Devil wants you to spend your time
1:38:06looking at the
1:38:09past chapters of your life. You continue
1:38:12playing, helping me. I'm I'm closer to
1:38:14being done than you think, man. He wants
1:38:16you to sit there and look at your
1:38:18failures.
1:38:21Any anybody anybody ever laid your head
1:38:25on the pillow at night,
1:38:27thought I wish to God I hadn't done
1:38:29that.
1:38:33Wish to God I'd have never said that.
1:38:38Wish I wouldn't have done that, man.
1:38:41God, I'd give anything to go back and
1:38:44undo what happened.
1:38:47If you're not careful, the enemy is
1:38:50going to trap you there.
1:38:54>> He wants you to spend all your time
1:38:56looking at past failures,
1:38:59past mistakes, past flaws, rather than
1:39:03turning
1:39:05and saying, "If I've still got breath,
1:39:09that means I can still do something for
1:39:11God.
1:39:14>> [music]
1:39:21[applause]
1:39:23>> I don't know about you, I know what it
1:39:25is to look and say, "How do I write my
1:39:28wrongs?
1:39:31How do I write all the times that I I
1:39:33let God down? Can God let me go back
1:39:36somehow in the past and undo what I
1:39:38did?" First step, you've got to do this.
1:39:43You've got to accept what happened.
1:39:50>> It can be a hard thing to just accept
1:39:54what you did. You got to accept what
1:39:57happened. And then you've got to realize
1:40:00there's nothing I can do to change it.
1:40:03But here's what I can do. I can do what
1:40:06Paul wrote about. I can learn to avenge
1:40:11the man that I used to be.
1:40:15How do I How do I take vengeance? He
1:40:19said, when when you when you really had
1:40:20this godly sorrow, it produced revenge
1:40:24in you. I tell you what I believe that
1:40:26was, it was a burning desire that said,
1:40:30"I live that way, but I'm changed." I I
1:40:33I remember I remember as a young man, I
1:40:35remember an evangelist coming through,
1:40:37brother Daniel Ballinger, and I remember
1:40:39him preaching. He grew up in the world.
1:40:41He grew up playing at every guitar, uh,
1:40:43every every club, every bar. He played
1:40:46concerts all over this world. He did
1:40:48every drug you could imagine. But I'm
1:40:50telling you, he finally came to church
1:40:52one day, repented of his sins, and God
1:40:55filled him with the gift of the Holy
1:40:57Ghost.
1:40:59And I'll never forget, I'll never forget
1:41:01as a teenager, Pastor Holmes him
1:41:04preaching. He's probably, you probably
1:41:05heard him said it, but but here's what
1:41:07he would say. He would say this. When I
1:41:09was in the world, I was one of the
1:41:11devil's best sinners.
1:41:14He didn't. That devil couldn't find a
1:41:17better sinner than me. He said, "But I
1:41:20made up in my mind when I got in the
1:41:22church, I'm going to be the greatest
1:41:24saint. I gave a lot of my years to the
1:41:26devil. I gave a lot of my energy to the
1:41:28devil. Come on. But I'm telling you, as
1:41:31much as I gave him, God being my helper,
1:41:34I'm going to give God the rest of my
1:41:36life, I'm going to get Come on. Some of
1:41:39you are young and you believe your life
1:41:41is over. I'm telling you, the devil is a
1:41:43liar. You still got time to change. You
1:41:47still got time to become something for
1:41:50God.
1:41:56Hallelujah.
1:41:57Somewhere Paul understood can't do
1:42:01nothing about my past.
1:42:03>> It's done is done. I wish I could I wish
1:42:06I could go back to that day when when
1:42:08they took the first the first martyr of
1:42:11the church. They took a man by the name
1:42:13of Stephen and he's laying on the ground
1:42:15and and as the men were the men were
1:42:18taking stones and throwing them at him,
1:42:20here I am holding the coats of them that
1:42:22were stoning him. I wish I could go back
1:42:25and change that.
1:42:27But I can't. I wish I wish I could go
1:42:30back to when I was taking men and women
1:42:33and casting them into prison for
1:42:35believing on Jesus. I wish I could go
1:42:37back and undo that, but I can't. But
1:42:39here's what I can do. My current
1:42:42obedience becomes vengeance against the
1:42:45man that I used to be.
1:42:51>> You know what I believe? The way that
1:42:53Paul lived his life, I can't go back and
1:42:55change what I did, but here's what I can
1:42:57do. I can write another epistle.
1:43:00>> I can't go back and undo what I did. But
1:43:03here's what I can do. I can plant
1:43:05another church. I can sing another song.
1:43:08I can teach another Bible study. There's
1:43:11nothing I can do to go back and change
1:43:13it. But I tell you what I can do. I can
1:43:16be obedient today. I can be submitted
1:43:19today.
1:43:26Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
1:43:29>> Moses had murdered a man. To make
1:43:31matters worse, everybody knew it. I got
1:43:34a stuttering problem. I got a speech
1:43:36problem. But there's nothing I can do to
1:43:38go back and change anything that I've
1:43:39done. But here's what I can do. I can
1:43:42avenge the man that I was by becoming
1:43:44the best leader that Israel has ever
1:43:46had. Rahab could not go back and change
1:43:48the choices that led her to being a
1:43:50prostitute. But I tell you what she
1:43:52could do on the day in which there was
1:43:54an opportunity given to her where she
1:43:57could either keep being obedient or
1:43:59disobedient or she could turn and be
1:44:01obedient to the word of God. She said,
1:44:03"I can't change this, but I'm going to
1:44:05turn and be obedient." And you know what
1:44:08[screaming] she realized? My current
1:44:10obedience is revenge on my past
1:44:12disobedience. I've come to preach to
1:44:15you. My revenge on the old Clark Copelan
1:44:18is the new Clark Copenh. My revenge on
1:44:21my
1:44:24revenge on my old man. It's my new man.
1:44:28It's who I can become. I've come to
1:44:31preach to you. I know you [screaming]
1:44:33haven't had an, but you're going to get
1:44:35an anointing. Uh God's got his hand on
1:44:37you. Uh God's going to use you. God's
1:44:40going to elevate you.
1:44:44Come on, let's love him all over this
1:44:46house.
1:44:48Come on, lift up your hands. I'm almost
1:44:49done. Would you help me pray right now
1:44:51for just a moment?
1:45:22Hallelujah.
1:45:25I want to preach to you something and I
1:45:28and I want you to try your best to
1:45:31remember this and and next time you
1:45:35fall.
1:45:37I said I I feel that I'm not I'm not
1:45:42preaching that a pattern of sin is okay.
1:45:44Okay? If if you think that's what I'm
1:45:45preaching, you ain't been listening to
1:45:46what I've been saying.
1:45:48I want to preach to you a beautiful
1:45:51four-step [music]
1:45:54process of what you need to do the next
1:45:58time you fall. Okay? And this is what
1:46:00I'm going to close with.
1:46:02David had messed up. He had he hadn't
1:46:06just messed up a little bit. That this
1:46:08goes back to what I'm what I'm talking
1:46:09about. How could a man how could a man
1:46:11that committed adultery and murdered a
1:46:13man be a man after God's own heart?
1:46:16because he had an advocate.
1:46:18Well, you know what I'm saying?
1:46:22There were there was it it wasn't a
1:46:24pattern. It was an instance. And that's
1:46:26how because he was living he was walking
1:46:28down the road of righteousness and on
1:46:30that road he stumbled. He didn't get off
1:46:32on the road of unrighteousness and say,
1:46:33"I'm walking this way the rest of my
1:46:35life."
1:46:36>> But but on the day the day that
1:46:38happened, and I'm hurrying, but but but
1:46:40he he's committed adultery with Bath
1:46:42Sheba. Okay? He's had her husband
1:46:45murdered in the battle. The man of God
1:46:48comes to him, tells the story, and he
1:46:50sticks his finger in his face and said,
1:46:53"You're the man."
1:46:55Not only this, but the child is going to
1:46:59die.
1:47:00He goes and and and he begins to weep
1:47:03and he begins to fast and he begins to
1:47:06plead and beg God that God would spare
1:47:09the life of the child. Here he is. I
1:47:12mean, he's he's he's down and out. He's
1:47:15he's he's all messed up, begging God,
1:47:17pleading with God to do it. And guess
1:47:19what happened? The child died. The
1:47:23servants were standing there and they
1:47:25said, "If it was this bad when the child
1:47:28was alive, what's he going to do now?"
1:47:30See, but David had a revelation that
1:47:32they didn't have. He understood there's
1:47:36life after failure.
1:47:39So, so listen, here was here was step
1:47:42number one. Here was step number one.
1:47:45First thing he did was he got up.
1:47:50>> I said he got up.
1:47:55>> You You can't live for God laying flat
1:47:57on your back.
1:48:00>> You can't live for God doing what I've
1:48:02been told and and that's laying on your
1:48:04face, wallowing in your sin. And what
1:48:07the first thing you got to do is get to
1:48:09your feet.
1:48:14The next thing the next thing he did and
1:48:17and I don't know what step we're going
1:48:18to be in tonight, but the next thing he
1:48:20did was he washed himself. He cleansed
1:48:24himself from his sin. He wasn't just
1:48:26looking for a little band-aid. He was
1:48:28looking to get cleansed from the sin.
1:48:30You know what that is? That is a type of
1:48:32repentance. So he gets up, he washes
1:48:36himself. Step number three was he
1:48:39changed his clothes.
1:48:41You know what that signifies to me? That
1:48:44signifies he came to church one way, but
1:48:47he left changed. He came to church
1:48:49messed [music] up, but he left free. He
1:48:52came to church depressed.
1:48:56He came to church believing God would
1:48:58never use him again. But something
1:49:00changed. Something was different.
1:49:03>> [music]
1:49:05>> And step number four
1:49:08was he went back to the house of God and
1:49:11he worshiped.
1:49:15[applause]
1:49:21[applause]
1:49:24>> Brother Tuttle, I I don't believe that I
1:49:26don't believe that when he was
1:49:27worshiping, the whole time he was
1:49:29worshiping thinking to himself, "You're
1:49:30such an idiot. I still can't believe you
1:49:33did that. I still can't believe after
1:49:36everything God's done to you, done for
1:49:38you, that you turned your back on. I
1:49:40tell you what I believe he did. I
1:49:41believe as he worship, he thought about
1:49:43the greatness of God, the mercy of God,
1:49:47the splendor.
1:49:50I'll tell you what I believe he did. I
1:49:52believe he worshiped like [music] it
1:49:54never even happened. I've come to preach
1:49:56them in America. There comes a day when
1:49:59you can worship like the sin never even
1:50:03happened. There comes [music] a day when
1:50:05you
1:50:09I said there comes a day when you can
1:50:12worship like you never even did like it.
1:50:16[music]
1:50:22I want to preach to somebody [music]
1:50:23today and ask you if God said when you
1:50:26repent I will not remember your sin. Why
1:50:29do you remember your sin? If God don't
1:50:32remember it, why should you? I want to
1:50:35preach to somebody. It's time you lift
1:50:37up your hands and you do it believing. I
1:50:41said [music] believing that God has
1:50:44really forgiven you.
1:50:48[music]
1:50:58I want you to lift up [music] your hands
1:50:59all over this house right now. Come on.
1:51:01Come on. Lift up your hands. Come on,
1:51:03singers.
1:51:06Come on. Lift up your hands all over
1:51:07this house.
1:51:15>> [bell]
1:51:19>> I may I may be I may be taking a risk
1:51:23here, but I but I I feel like this is
1:51:25right. I want all the young people all
1:51:28over this house, [music] make your way
1:51:29to this front right now. Come on. Come
1:51:31on.
1:51:33Come on, young people. Flood this altar.
1:51:39Come on. Come fast. Come fast.
1:51:45If this is okay, I know I know this is
1:51:48maybe going to be different, but I would
1:51:51love for us to follow the pattern that
1:51:55David followed. Okay,
1:51:59raise your hand if you're in this house
1:52:01today and you've ever committed a sin.
1:52:06That ought to be everybody's hand.
1:52:09Okay, now here here's something I've
1:52:11learned. We love We love repentance for
1:52:14sinners, but for some reason, we think
1:52:16it's not for us anymore.
1:52:20>> So, I I don't I don't know how this is
1:52:22going to go, but I but I want us to do
1:52:24this altar call in a couple different
1:52:25phases.
1:52:27Phase number one is what I've been
1:52:28trying to preach to you for a while, and
1:52:30that's get up.
1:52:32Anybody feel like you're spiritually you
1:52:35spiritually got up in [music] this
1:52:36house? Does anybody believe what I'm
1:52:38preaching to you today?
1:52:41Do I have some parents that would lift
1:52:43up your voice and let these kids know
1:52:45there's a there's a generation before
1:52:47you [music] that believes in you?
1:52:51Hey, I'm barely old, but I'm I believe
1:52:53in this generation.
1:52:56I ought to have every parent [screaming]
1:52:58helping me, right? I said, I believe in
1:53:00this generation.
1:53:02I believe God's going to use these young
1:53:04men. I believe God's going to use
1:53:06[music] these young ladies.
1:53:08You got to believe what I'm preaching to
1:53:10you.
1:53:14Next thing he did
1:53:16was he started washing himself. Now, for
1:53:21for just a few minutes, I want everybody
1:53:24all over this house to lift up your
1:53:26hands. Come on.
1:53:28Here's what here's what I want us to do.
1:53:31You you repenting is not saying that
1:53:33you've been living some wicked, awful
1:53:35life. [music] It's just admitting that
1:53:36you're flesh and you still need them.
1:53:38Come on. I want everybody all over this
1:53:40house to lift up your hands and lift up
1:53:42your voice. Let's take just a few
1:53:44moments here and repent all over this
1:53:46house. Come on. Come on. He washed
1:53:49himself. Would you let the preaching of
1:53:51the word wash you right [music] now?
1:53:53Come on.
1:53:56Come on. I wish you'd really lift up
1:53:58your hands for just a couple minutes.
1:54:03Come on. all over this house. We'll move
1:54:06when it feels right. But I feel like we
1:54:08need to take just a few minutes here.
1:54:12Come on. It's still the will of God that
1:54:15we [screaming] learn how to weep between
1:54:16the porch and the altar.
1:54:20Come on. I wish you'd help me [music]
1:54:21pray. I wish you I wish you lift up your
1:54:23voice.
1:54:27[music]
1:54:28Come on. I want God to have his way.
1:54:30Come on. Let's be sensitive right now.
1:54:33Lift up your voice. Let's be sensitive
1:54:35right now. Does anybody feel that you're
1:54:37[music] being changed right now? Come
1:54:39on. He washed himself and he changed his
1:54:43garments. [music]
1:54:44I want you to do it right now. Come on.
1:54:46Let yourself be changed.
1:54:51[music]
1:55:15Let's take 30 more seconds and repent.
1:55:17Come on. 30 more seconds and repent.
1:55:24H yeah.
1:55:30Oh,
1:55:41Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
1:55:45I remember I remember a couple times I'd
1:55:49go through these things as a teenager
1:55:50where I' i'd try to I'd try to really
1:55:54get in shape and I thought for some
1:55:57reason I would learn to dunk one day.
1:56:00One of the things they said to do was
1:56:02get extra weight on you. And as you
1:56:06start moving around and jumping around
1:56:08with that weight when you take it off,
1:56:12it frees you because you got used to
1:56:15being weighed down.
1:56:19And and and it sounds crazy, but you
1:56:21know, if you had put on a 15lb vest,
1:56:24whatever it was, if you wore it for long
1:56:26enough, you could near about forget you
1:56:28was wearing it.
1:56:30you you could get used to just carrying
1:56:34stuff around.
1:56:37>> But I'm going to tell you I'm going to
1:56:39tell you when you really know that you
1:56:40was wearing it is when you get it off.
1:56:45>> It's when you
1:56:50that you really really you really
1:56:52realize the way you was living before.
1:56:57I've come to tell somebody in this
1:56:59house, there's some young people in this
1:57:01building, you have learned to come to
1:57:02church so long with condemnation, you
1:57:05forgot what it feels like to pray
1:57:06without it. You've learned how to come
1:57:09to church so long, come on, weigh down
1:57:12with self-doubt, weigh down with fear,
1:57:15weigh down with past failures
1:57:17[screaming] that you forgot what it was
1:57:19like.
1:57:22I'm telling you, my favorite part of it
1:57:24was he went back to church and he
1:57:27worshiped the Lord. [screaming] I'm
1:57:29telling you, for the first time in a
1:57:31long time, I believe there's some young
1:57:33people, you're getting ready to pray
