The following is a prerecorded program revival must have it give you five reasons why today for the line of fire, your host, activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown was the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of Ministry of the line of fire valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH Georgia is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us today.

Friends on light a fire, by God's grace, I intend to stir your heart by God's grace, I intend to help light a deeper fire with in you to help inspire you to believe God for revival for awakening for quickening for some dramatic breakthrough starting even your life your own community welcomed friends to the line of fire. I am not here to duplicate what others are doing so well. I'm not here just to be another conservative talking head giving insights and what's wrong with our culture and why conservative values are better plenty of folks are doing that. Great job. I'm not here just to be teaching and preaching the word of God. So many pastors so many leaders with fine broadcast doing just that. I'm here to service your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution I'm I'm here to bring the unique thing that God's called me to bring just as you have your unique role in function and we each do and hopefully as I fulfill my role in calling it will help you better follow your role and calling today's broadcast. I want to give you five reasons why we must have revival I preached on this theme over the weekend as I was praying yesterday praying last night Lord which way we go which direction we go on the show this week we we got some special interviews plan we got some other things for later in the week how we start the week off and I'll start with looking what's happening in the world around us in getting a divine perspective in seeking to speak into this theme was all me so strongly.

And I know that I know that that one of my roles in serving you. Serving the church and serving leaders is to help spark the fires of revival or ministry. As many of you know has 3R's three main emphases all the litter are revival meeting revival in the church. That's the first of this. Everything flows have that in the second revolution, meaning gospel based moral and cultural revolution in society as Jesus changes us change the world around us through the gospel. And thirdly, redemption in Israel seeing all Israel save these are the things we live for and burn for day and night, and I know that it's absolutely essential if the nation is to be changed.

It's essential the great commission is to be fulfilled. It's essential if we are to come into the image of Jesus on any dramatic level in this world that we must be a revived people must be a people return to her first love. You must be people grounded in the word full of the spirit loving Jesus loving the lost and in often in church history that we see we see it right within the New Testament that things may start well but then there's decline there's failure is discouragement.

This traditionalism in an unhealthy sense is becoming like the world is being pulled down that whatever happens over proved how we need to be re-five. It's just like the way you feel today feels normal and you look normal. Then you go back and looking at old pictures like wow my hair got all great wow I gained a lot of weight or walk in the changes of come, but you don't realize them because they're so gradual, then you could draw hard by reality and many times God comes by his spirit by his word to drawer us back to reality, to stir us and we realized become compromised and I hardly knew it become lukewarm and I hardly knew it become like the world of how they known it, just become a professional in ministry, are they not let my first love and how they known of the conviction comes.

That's God drawing us back not to condemn us but to draw us back to revive us revival in the church can lead to awakening in society.

Question for you if I asked you what is the greatest evidence in the church or the society that we must have revival it if if I said okay give them know if if you would look at one thing and one thing only to the state of the church in America or the state of the nation and you may be watching listing in other nations. You can apply your own country as well, but would be that the most pressing thing you think that this is the number one reason why we must have revival state of the church, the state and nation. What would top your list.

866-34-TRUTH you can call it 866-3487 84 if you're watching on YouTube or Facebook. Go ahead and interact there with one another in post your thoughts, but first I want to stir your hearts just with the theme of revival revival is not a series of meetings that we schedule certain parts of America, especially in the South were used to overhauling revival next week. Olga revival schedule for next month. You can no more schedule revival you can schedule a hurricane.

You can no more hold revival you can hold an earthquake revival is not something that man works up revival something God sends down but it's an answer to the prayers of his people. God stirs our hearts. God creates a hunger or thirst.

He makes us aware of our need. We begin to seek him earnestly that prepares the way for outpouring repentance in our own lives prepares the way for revival. Frank parliament greatly used to Journal spread the news of what happened in the Azusa Street revival over hundred years ago said that the depth of any revival will be determined by the spirit of repentance that is obtained so when we speak of revival were speaking of the season of unusual divine visitation of God coming and God visiting in ways that are shaking and radically changing when your whole sense of reality turns upside down.

It's almost like during times of revival you call a friend from church service ago Israel it's real. When Jesus is. We all know he's not all you know it's it's the things you always know something you know and like Isaiah coming into the presence of the Lord in the temple in Isaiah 6. Suddenly on Don oil leaking. He made you, woe is me I'm I'm on Don because I'm a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips in my eyes and seen the King, Lord oppose all know it's over deep sense of conviction.

So today I want to give you five reasons why we must have revival. First, I want to play clip from Leonard Ravenhill Ravenhill most famously was the author of the book why revival tarries you've never read it, read it or it'll jar you in a shaky cam out the early 1960s EW toes are really tremendous. Forward to talking about the ministry of the prophet and likening that to Ravenhill's call.

I had the privilege of becoming a deer close friend of Leonard Ravenhill the last five years of his life. He was 82 hours 34 and asked me to be his friend was divine connection. One of the greatest privileges of my life was to be his friend and to pray with him and to listen to him and to learn from him.

He carried this tremendous brokenness and God ultimately would speak it by the time his message was finished. Everyone was on their faces crying out weeping and wailing before the Lord, because the sense of conviction and then encountering Jesus's love fresh so Mr. Hart's detail on doing God's call be to do want to help burden you give your vision for revival. Listen to this clip from Leonard Ravenhill in America name and there is no alarm in an illusion that any automatic negative ranges and selling them and then is this domain is that it was addressing the day to sign my name and noting many things. I know many judges and unbelieving guns only means I can say, holding donations and ranges. I said I need you on the meaning of it was the five you only job is in you don't need to hold a five euro house during the no accounting I got in line is I this video with a little longer clicks your listing to watching just your people weeping in the background. That's what happened when he spoke, so he lived I would spend a few days with him couple times a year and staying in his home. This we lived that that's how he was he come out of his prayer closet the same way it to. I can't live another day without the water is just burning but wood burned in the most was the state of the church become items prayer closet and we spent time praying together and talking theology and talk the word different things. Then he get a loan to pray the come items prayer closet after extended time alone just tears like churches. They can implies he doesn't realize it would be so overwhelmed with that burden, and it was out of such a deep love for Jesus friends were talking last night my family and I talking last night. What would Lynn be saying today how broken with EB today at the state of the church in America. Friends of God. Stir your heart even now. Just cry out to mow God, oh God, I need a fresh touch of my life.

I need revival fires are burning me pastors leaves best for your do it come back to start with five reasons we must have revival in America light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get another minor file now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us today on the modifier.

Five reasons why we must have revival in America. Here is the first reason. Reason number one. The fate of the nation hinges on recent everyone will be must have revival. The fate of the nation hangs on one why say that I say that because the church is the key to the health of the nation because we are called to be the salt and we are called to be the light. Jesus said of the salty sloth saltiness. What good is it just can be trampled underfoot by men.

He said that that the light in another context of the light within us is darkness, how great is the darkness.

I've often said that when I going to hotel check-in at night. First thing Yocum underfoot. The lilac is dark and there. If nothing happens I'll get mad at the darkness. I wonder what's my with the light would snap switch which is the right switch and try to find out where is the light that Scott's question America today. Where's the light you see about voicing its origin. America right now is a terrible moral crisis.

America is in freefall. In many ways moral cultural anarchy is upon us and plus so anyways we are being torn apart at the seams that the only the only way to move forward on the national collapse is massive revival in the church that leads to national awakening. It's been the key that saved America to change the direction of the nation. In the past.

Historians both church and secular historians will often recognize that that's been the key that change the direction I am convinced that the spirit of madness has descended on a culture, a spirit of absolute madness were where we have literally lost our way and lost our minds. Let me give you an example woman is in a spa with her daughter while here, but let her tell you directly. What happens listless blocking California to go around to different utilities take a nap. By now I got and I want to get what walking I noticed something that really was disturbing. I must be transported into the man locked around them in the area yeah I man of man falling completely Expo. This is not normal place, but now I'm not little girls are there. Their mothers are there other women are looking about and begin to put the rope back on. I went to management. Management did nothing. I told the guy easily is not right and he didn't mean no help whatsoever right so here's a woman is at her daughter. Other little girls there 88 a man, a male goes into women's spa naked since there's more. She said this couldn't play at all okay just to describe exactly what's going on there.

He is exposing himself in the presence not just of women that's terrible enough that's abusive enough that's traumatic enough, but little girls, the spa management said there's nothing they could do about others have stood up for the spa. Why because it's actually a female.

He identifies as a woman and therefore he can do it now.

Aside from the fact that any sicko.

Any guy that just wanted to expose himself in the presence of wisdom women and girls could go in claiming to be transient. To put that aside so I just say I'm on transgender and claim that they were in and have this cultural madness where there's nothing you could do about all because this is the strands let's put that craziness aside that the door is now open to you better believe their sexual predators and sickos out there want to do that very thing. Find ways to be abusive expose themselves, but then there are also those that genuinely think that they are in the wrong body and biological mail that generally believes he's a female and that is deluded enough in the midst of that painful self-deception painful lack of biological reality money up with emotional reality. It actually can think like I think I can go in there naked and it's okay even if he was convinced he was a woman he could still realize okay have male parts here. Under no circumstances in a walk-in.

This met this this madness is all pervading our society to the fact that there is national debate over this is supposed to stop it but work when I'm told about Street someone allowed to identifies transgender F-16s are talking about that. Just stop this madness. While no Tran. This is a perfect example of the fact that America has lost its mind, we have lost our moral bearings. Why is the church has not been standing in a strong moral way because the church is so much like the world and often we fight we fight primarily politically rather recognize these are ultimately spiritual and moral battles. First, that we stay involved politically but that's down the list of what we do and and often the values of the world to become the body of the church warning and no exercise was the big deal that's the way been living for years. A colleague sent me this picture from Instagram and is not the end of the world. It's not the worst thing ever, but just typical again.

HBO Max discover kid friendly funds so this is subscribe to HBO Max discover kid friendly fun on the right is a picture of the animated cartoon school will be okay.

That's kid fun and to the left. This series called witches. Yeah, this is kid friendly, fun, I'm just some of the normalizing of things for children so that they just embraces all just call me and let's know what switch is instead just symptomatic just illustrate and then in the midst of all this, friends, check out this headline recent Gallup poll, this is from this year. This is from 2021 US church membership falls below majority for first time. So this was in March of this year. US church membership falls below majority first time so were talking about, years, decades, decades, decades of doing these studies every time. The majority of Americans were members of churches in many cases the strong majority as long as Gallup's been doing these polls which is for quite a few decades.

The obviously many people, church members are not believers. Many people, church members and don't follow God and all but they're just listed as members of the church. But when the membership is now under 50%. That's telling you something, though I know there are plenty of people in house churches and others who don't register as members of churches put, we cannot downplay this and ignore it is symptomatic of an ongoing spiritual decline in America people dropping out of churches, people losing godly values people losing sight of biblical morality.

The fact that you have so many young people buying into gay, lesbian, transgender talking points even spiritually on my sins to condemn the kids because it's ultimately up to parents and how they're raising kids. Have a great impact on but in many cases, the parents about the aware of the onslaught on their kids.

The parents is not been aware but the kids were exposed to in school exposed with social media, peer pressure and and Holly with all of this and don't realize the degree to which their kids been influence maybe the parents info so no big deal. Whatever. Don't don't realize now that that the very theology the very foundation of marriage brief on the can of families under severe attack and people been sleeping at the watch posted many pastors that wanted to address controversial issues.

Now we are reaping the fruit and just having this convenient what's in it for me gospel is come to Jesus and just get blessed and get all the benefits supposed to come to Jesus and be transformed in a live the rest your life for God, lack of making disciples. When the mess rent today.

Chris will do you want to give you the other four reasons why we must have revival today than the rest of the broadcaster break these down so number one the fate of the nation hangs on it.

Reason number two that we must have revival and estimate that the reputation and glory of the Lord, the reputation of the name of the Lord depends on requires that's reason number two reasons.

Number three that the promises of God call for get a break. Each of these down. Reason number four what we must have revival, the longing of our soul demands and and then reason number five, but we must have revival is his next-generation the next generation must be touched by God.

They must experience God in a fresh and living way. So minute break those down the rest of the broadcast. You may want to go back and listen to this again.

The objections of the hour, and also to help you stand strong in the Lord and whatever I can do to help you connect more deeply with God to be more intimate with him to experience his presence in a more real and powerful way to whatever extent I can help you to do that. It's a privilege and honor and joy. Welcome to the broadcast today were talking about five reasons why we must have revival in the church today. Revival comes when it's nonnegotiable.

The old question is asked why is it that we don't see more revival in the old answer is because were willing to live without it. When you get to the place of desperation. You get to the place of realizing that something must change or else soften, you begin to pursue God, earnestly cry out to him, or desperately an end. And when you do it prepares the way for God to come because you're hungry or thirsty is just like before, maybe a Thanksgiving meal.

You don't eat through the dance he get to it because you have a big meal and you will have room for the big meal while we make room for God. Spiritual hunger in our hearts so one reason that we must have revival that it's nonnegotiable is the state of the nation.

Today the fate of the nation hangs on that America is in such confused state morally spiritually and that so much of the church is in such a backslidden compromise state that the only way we can move forward without a real national crisis, tearing ourselves apart is collapsing into complete moral and spiritual anarchy is revival in the church.

Let me give you a second reason why we must have revival today.

It is simply this, the reputation of the Lord requires reasonable one. The faded nation hangs on it reasonable to the reputation of the Lord requires what I mean by that will what's the first prayer first petition will be called the Lord's prayer, Matthew six and Luke 11 or father who art in heaven right King James prays theology is our father in heaven. Our heavenly father, hallowed be your name. May your name be held May your name regarded be regarded as telling me the people of the world made it made the people in the church meet humanity recognize you was excellent. May your name be held.

His name is holy right is essential nature is holy. Everything about him is holy. This is a prayer that he would be seen as holy, that he that the holiness of his name would be recognized that there would be a depth of recognition of who he is. That's that's the beginning of the prayer and then your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven flows out of that for God to be sanctified in the name of the Lord sanctified in my life. Your life means that we are living lives that bring glory to him that the world sees and recognizes who he is when he brings his judgments when he separates his people when he brings us to repentance. It magnifies his name is holy and one of the great stories from the Hebrides revival ties in with this. A prayer for the glory of God's name before before I tell you that story.

Let's just take a glimpse back and remember what this was the Hebrides revival 1949, 1952.

Here's just a little snippet of an introduction. Back in 1914, revival broke out and began to spread across several areas of the happenings this outpouring had arrived after a prolonged period of session that had been greatly concerned that the chips he want us to hold general indifference tool to the gospel message was, in response, Christians were encouraged to sing, go for an hour and only on Lewis to only one line in the crippled with arthritis and press go disability meant that they could not think of being goats presence of high interest. After some time. These two old ladies knew that God was going to send Duncan Lewis and revival, with this word from golden invitation was sent, but it was refused. The two sisters were told that he would not be coming to state that that's what man says God has said otherwise he shall be here within a fortnight, and he wants Duncan came to preach for 10 days when goat moved he stayed for over two yeah it's just a little snippet of what happened. These two sisters and others praying people desperate, crying out to God. One of the key issues is with you in a moment young people left the church not interested in God very traditional area Calvinist background very much skeptical of human the hand of emotionalism and being manipulative notes of guy was gonna move there would have to run the sovereign things. That's what happened when these two praying sisters felt the Duncan Campbell should come in. An invitation was sent to him.

He said no, can't come use going to be speaking at a conference. He was already booked and one sister says man says is not coming. God says he's coming and she was sure of it. Sure enough, last minute something happens the conference he supposed to speak at its cancel all the all the rooms were booked for other events said in the conference lost its it's it's it's ability to to go on. And sure enough the Campbells there and listen to how he talks about one of the great needs that that the church leaders agreed there was a great need before he came in before the revival spark that we know historically is the Hebrides revival 1949 to 1952 listener campuses all go wrong at our aware on her under aware on her body. Regarding the people of Ireland are here were on all the congregation. Please repair people you'll all put your company after and have mixed feeling of inquiry or mosque will be an there be no, what's gonna happen if there is no repentance God who sovereignly they had powerful appearing in different parts of the islands. They moved to a new location to hold meetings. The meeting was pretty packed but was many people coming from other parts of the islands. Locally there was great resistance to the revival affected neighboring church had brought in other other leaders, other pastors from Scotland to preach against the revival so when they held their first service in this new location on the Hebrides. They hit tremendous resistance, tremendous spiritual resistance something terribly wrong.

So after the meeting was over, they went to one of the brothers homes just pray they were in prayer till about midnight when Duncan Campbell felt distinctly led to asked the blacksmith to pray. The man cried out for 1/2 an hour in prayer for revival for the Hebrides, a reverent man, a God-fearing man and after half an hour. He said Lord, you promised to pour out water on the thirsty land and you're not doing it in the pause they had a promising Isaiah 44 came alive to them that as God poured out water on the thirsty of any party spirit on his people that became alive to them as a promise from God to the community you promised to pour out word it water on the thirsty land and you're not doing it. The pause and then he cried out again, don't you know that your honor is at stake.

This is about the reputation of the Lord. This is about the honor of Jesus name. And then he paused again with great reverence that I challenge you to keep your covenant commitments. Write them a little granite house where they were shook like a leaf. The men fell to their faces. Some thought.

It's an earthquake, Campbell immediately knew no acts 431 when they prayed, the place was shaken. They stayed on their faces till about two or three in the morning when they got up to go home. Campbell says in every home in the community. Lights had been turned on.

People were seeking God, crying out for mercy. God came to that district in the Hebrides men were carrying chairs on their back to go to the church building to camp out around the night or to open the next morning. That's what happened when God came sovereignly to the Hebrides's about the honor of the Lord.

How else will be honor and glory of the name of the Lord be recovered without sweeping revival in the church were tormented in America today K. Reason number three. While we must have revival. Reason number three the word of God promises it. The word of God promises it friends when you read through Scripture.

When you read through Scripture about the promise of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit about the promise of radical repentance and salvation. When you read through Scripture and the things that God promises us individually. When you read through the words of rebuke in the book of Revelation to the seven churches in Asia minor to five of the seven the promises of restored fellowship and what God will bring.

There is more in there. The Old Testament promises and the prayers for revival.

I cannot read the Bible. Honestly, with integrity before God studying it exegetical.

He best way understand in its proper historical context. I cannot read it without knowing there must be more. I cannot read it without being convicted by God that he wants more of my life dedicated to him in daily obedience voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 866 or through your again is Dr. Michael Brown five reasons why we must have revival on the fate of the nation hangs on it number two reputation of the Lord requires three the word of God promises it. Reason number four why we must survive… This is my list preached on the weekend felt sturdy again to talk about it on the air today. Select preaching at you but just talking to heart-to-heart but but was prayer with a burden that these words will ignite something in you and create a deeper desire to press in is retired but the nation have about your life about my life pastor have at your life about my life about our family about our local church. However, the community can we believe God for that repressing for that. Can we take the days, weeks, months, years ahead. Cry out until we see our own region ablaze with revival of a been inclusive God.

I've seen the Holy Spirit poured out. I know the dramatic change that can come up.

I've lived in it while you can use on your face and worship God because of his holy presence because the death of conviction of sin in the power of the spirit changing lives. I can't afford to live the rest of my life without seeing God do something even greater for another generation. So, reason number four why we must have revival the hunger of our souls demands it. The hunger of our souls demands it. I don't know about you friend, but the more time I spend in the presence of God, the more long to be with him to think of Moses talking to God. The tent of meeting, and in Exodus the 33rd chapter out outside of the camp because God had a move outside the camp is the sinfulness of Israel and the more he communes with God.

What is he say let me see your glory.

Show me your glory. The boys with them. The more is burning to see a display of the power and majesty of God, not some superficial carnival way to find reality that that that the longing of the Paul expresses that I may know him. This is a man that knew God better than this, but anybody in the planet. Very few people knew God the way he did, and yet he had a deeper desire to know him. The hunger of our souls demands all God that you would rend the heavens yet again that you would shake your church yet again. Revival fire would burn yet again that we be restored to our first love that that the passion that we used to have for the loss that the burden used to have an prayer that the faith to be seven step out Lord. We've got to experience that again that the encounters with God of used to have that were life transforming another become almost legendary because they're just a part of our lives anymore. All God do it again and then the fifth reason in this. This is just so strongly on my heart. This could be the one and only reason and and it would drive me to my knees.

The rest of my life. Reason number five, the next generation must experience the next generation must experience it, what's written at the end of Joshua 24 that the children of Israel serve the Lord during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who experience the works of the Lord. So those who were who were children when they saw God's hand delivering them from Egypt and saw God's hand preserving them to the promised land. Through the wilderness and bringing them into the promised land, saw his mighty hand, there they had experienced the scene or Scott they they knew it they could talk about they could lead the nation when they died, Israel\why because the next generation their kids did not experience God the way they did and we were talking last night Nancy and I with our daughter Meg, her husband, Ryan and grandson Andrew on the other grandeur that was locally was was away working so we we were together and just after dinner just started talking about revival in the presence of God started sharing stories about men of God that I work with things close to Ravenhill and David Wilkerson the right at the end which were in broad people I got to know different levels in the walk they had the burden they carried display some clips from David Wilkerson talk about anguish.

Tears started streaming down my cheeks.

Played some trick of Leonard Ravenhill and say we believe in a different definition of Christianity.

We need new demonstration of Christianity with a broken heart with which preached and ministered in praise, roast and son-in-law Ryan in our school in Pensacola.

Touchton revival three met our daughter may, in our school but here is a family. Nancy and I write them a week, we experienced the fires of revival we we were there in Pensacola's spirit was poor that we saw dramatic repentance in the lives dramatically change in the people who are change to this day out server got around the world. Why was out on the streets to be the evangelism teams and an saw some of the dramatic dramatic conversions and I mean people just encountering God and conviction of sin falling on the streets find their knees and getting right with God, and now the mission field. Many years later, we recently saw these times when the spirit just sweep in and take over and the next thing that conviction so heavy that just a momentary call short call and people are running to the altar to repent. Get right with God in which about lasting results.

Emotionalism is just as a temporary high that you can be lower afterwards.

My hate emotionalism end up worse because of it in a more cynical because of it was skeptical because of the question of the whole thing because about when God moves your emotions disturbing. God knows but we we seen it.

We've experienced it and and other losing part of and then telling stories from around the world is Ryan's travel. This I've traveled things we've seen.

It's like saw grandson injuries he sent all the young man, 17, loves Jesus serious about the Lord loves the word loves the things of God living a godly life. I mean, the 17-year-old never gone through rebellion, honoring of his mom and dad super honoring his grandparents and and and and loves Jesus never experience the farther we wait, the sister Ellie great young woman 20 years old going into her sophomore year of college. Same deal never went through serious rebellion in intrigue by the world and the pole of the drugs and drink and all that but she's never experience what we experience knows the Lord, but has experienced some of these things in this young generation is under extraordinary pressure. My heart goes out to them what they been bought bombarded with in the public school system what they been bombarded with social media. What they been bombarded with their peers what they been bombarded with through Hollywood TV movies, video games, I mean just a ton of influences that previous generations had very little of, or none of an almost all going in the same these influences the same anti-God direction hostile to God react direction contrary to Scripture, direction they been bombarded and then so much of the church has provided a superficial answer to the devastating demonic attack of the hour. So much of the church is not provided adequate discipleship you young people's means are supposed to be fun and games to go and have the fun and games but also encounter God going to have have the fun I guess most of the word make disciples and I'm convinced that many young people will be his radical is as they can be meaning rather than preaching a watered-down gospel diluted message to to think we'll get more young people in if we show on the rat ecology of Jesus and how countercultural he was and say hey let's just follow him together. I'm willing to take the plunge, will you take it with me. I believe many of them will take the plunge and run ahead of us we we done them a terrible disservice by trying to water down the message and water down the reality of the cross and water down the that the call to lay our lives down and follow Jesus and and with that the express resurrection power when you don't go by way of the cross. You don't experience resurrection power to got kind of a superficial message is just encouragement, encouragement, encouragement, encouragement, without ever truly encountering God and is no wonder that so many young people have embraced the talking points of the world and there on the wrong side of many moral issues today and please hear me the last one that I'm condemning is young people on some of the failure of the church.

The failure of many parents. The failure of the older generations to bring them into a healthy encounter with God for themselves or to to disciple them in a serious enough way that's that's what I'm talking about, but they are on the wrong side of so many of these issues because they haven't been properly grounded in the word may have an encounter God deeply enough, thank God for those who are thanked offer young people listen to me right now. Your hearts are burning. You see, my friends, my friends.
