Let Him Be as the Younger ( First Love Church Nottingham )

0:00Hi, this is Doug Hewitt Mills. I'm glad you've joined me today. I believe this message will stir up your faith, strengthen you, and inspire you to serve him with zeal. Wherever you are, open your spirit. God is about to speak to you. I love nothing else. Oh, quick. Let's get a bit more excited than that. Welcome, nothing else. Welcome to the service. Where our father has come to first love nothing else, to praise us and to give us a blessed message. Well, in the actual best of my mind. Wow. Wow. You know, this week I received a message. Somebody asked when I first met the flag. They said that when you joined the church in your first year, could you have ever imagined that Bishop Doug Hewitt Mills would be preaching in your church. I said, I said, I even know I've got the person to

1:03design the flag. I said, I feel like it's even still AI. Because they call me real that my father, your father is here to bless up in one fantastic presence. We've been enjoying his books. We've been enjoying his camps. But now he's here live in first love nothing else. Make some noise and help me welcome my pastor, your pastor, your father, Bishop Doug Hewitt Mills. Hallelujah. Wow. Let us pray. Father, we are grateful today for the opportunity that we have in your house. We are grateful and we thank you. We ask you to speak to our hearts in a beautiful way.

2:06Thank you Lord in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and everyone said amen. God bless you. You may be seated. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Well. Please, please be seated. Thank you. And let us pray. Father, thank you for the opportunity to be in your house.

3:10We are excited and glad for this opportunity in Jesus' name. Speak and bless us, Lord. We ask in Jesus' name and everyone said amen. All right. I'm excited to be here today. And I have a very, very short message for you. I have a short message for you. My message, no, don't worry about whether the message is short or long. It's a message that matters.

4:12And I don't know whether I have the time to show you a video, whether you want to watch it. Where you allow to come to the service in noting him or not there. Or really, okay. I'm going to show you a short video then if I have the chance. Now, before I do that, I want to share with you a short message. And my message is entitled, Let Him be as the younger. Let Him be as the younger. Now, this message is directly from the words of Jesus in Luke chapter 22 and verse number 26.

5:16Let Him be as the younger. All right. Now, what it means, all right, look 22 as, and verse 26, all right. Let Him be as the younger. One version says, Let Him act. Let Him act as if He is the least important or let Him act like a young person. All right.

6:17Are you there? So, let Him be as the younger in my little vision. Is let Him behave like a young person. Right. Because you can be young, but you don't behave young. And you can be old and you behave young. And you can be old and behave old and you can be young and behave old. But Jesus said about becoming great in His eyes. Right. Is that you shall not be so bad. He that is greatest among you. Let Him be or let Him behave.

7:17As the younger or as a young person. All right. Are you listening to me? And he that is chief as he let Him be or behave like a servant. All right. Do you want to be great or a chief in the kingdom of God? You don't want it. Okay, no problem. You don't want to be either great or a chief. All right. So, what he is saying is that you ought to behave like a young person. Amen. Now, sit down.

8:20And I want to show you a few things that I need you to behave like a man. So that we can say that you behave like a young person. All right. You know, one day I saw a girl who was married to a brother. And she was behaving like an old lady. So one day I decided to ask her, how old are you, please? How old are you? And she said, I'm 28. She was 28. And I told her you behave like somebody who is like 45, 50. The way she carries herself, the way she behaves and acts,

9:21because she was married. And she had been married for some time. And so I said, the way you carry yourself, quite mathematical. I'm not going to get it. I'm not going to get it. It's a word. It's a word. It's a word. So, we got to say that like this is a madame, who is coming. My name is different from madameoazel. Are you listening to me? So what I'm saying is that she was, and I said, your attitude and your behavior

10:25is not what we want, because you look too big for your age. The way you carry yourself, the way you relate with your husband, your flow at home. It's like somebody is already tired. It's irritated about a lot of things. You know, always irritated, always tired, always being bothered. Everything is a bother. These are the features of an older person. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Yes, it's mathematical. So I don't want you to be always tired, always bothered, always irritated, always being disturbed, harassed, and something always not so happy,

11:27always a little worried, a little anxious. We want happy people. Amen. So Jesus's words, he was actually telling people, behave, letting behave like a young person behaves. To be great in the house of God, behave like a young person behaves. And you will be great in the kingdom of God. It's amazing, people don't know. That's why, what's right, John, I write down to you young men, because you, the young men, have overcome the wicked one. Because it is what certain things that young people do. That makes them overcome the wicked one. Yeah. So today, I want to encourage you,

12:28I know you are the first love church, but I am still preaching to you because there are people who are not even that old, and are already behaving, madameically. Amen. Are you ready to listen to my very short message? Number one. Number one. Number one. Number one. Let him be as a younger. Number one.

13:29Forgive quickly. Forgive quickly. Yes. That's why I said, some of you are already even at your age, behaving like a, because when you see children, you see them fighting. I said, I'm sitting by the door, I said this, I said that. And you say, that's quite a lot. He doesn't want to give me, he's toy, he doesn't want to do this. Two minutes later, you see them playing over here happily. Just two minutes. They are playing again as best friends, but when you have a mathematical person,

14:31and there is something happens, you see two weeks have gone by. The attitude is there that changed the face, the mind, everything. I don't know whether in the first love chat you have such mathematical people. Yes. So you see people. So I told that, she was just 28 years old, I said to her, listen, you see you, thank God you are married. Because I said, if you hadn't had a beloved and even married, you may have been somebody's girlfriend somewhere jumping all over the place. And in that situation you would have been very excited, happy, jumping, flowing, and so on.

15:35Just because you've had the privilege of marriage, you have changed so much and you are no more as the younger, or as a young person. So those of you who beg for it, I want to say something, perhaps it is a parental problem. When I say parental, it's an inherited problem. Maybe that's how your mother is, or that's how you have a... Maybe your mother is a bitter woman or your father is a bitter man, who doesn't forgive easily. So that's where you inherited those traits. And you are manifested in showing the science of a wicked person, only that you don't have power yet. You see, like Adolf Hitler, when he got power, I mean, the whole world got to know of this power. But before he had power, he was just giving speeches, he had only 13 members in his party.

16:37When he joined the party, there were about 12 people. He didn't have power. He was nobody. But when he finally got the power, huh, that was so. So some of you, honestly, you have to decide, I want to behave like a young person, I mean first laugh, I want to behave. I want to be as the younger. When you are too big, big-ish, it's not nice. That's why Gell's called themselves baby. Everybody wants to be a baby. Hi, baby, hi, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. All right.

17:38Sit down. Yes. Number two. Let him be as the younger means you sit quietly and listen to instructions and teachings. Now, go to all the schools in Nottingham and see whether you have old people in any classroom. Tomorrow I will challenge you. Tomorrow go. Go to any classroom and see if there are any old people in any of the classrooms in any of the schools. All people don't go for classes. Although they don't know most of the things that have been taught in the schools and can't remember nothing.

18:43When you are humble and you behave like the younger, you allow yourself to be led. So when I say to you, you allow yourself to be led. When you are guideable, malleable, leaderable, it's because you are behaving like the younger. When you lose this humility, you don't want to be taught or led. So always have a mind. Teach me. We have a song called Teach Me. Teach me, Lord. You want to be independent when you are not like a young person. Because as you get older, I don't want to go to my mother's house. I don't want my mother to tell me what to do. I don't want my father to tell me what to do. I want to be on my own. I want to be my own boss.

19:43That's not as a younger. Younger, we have parents and we have pastors and we have spiritual leaders. So when he says, let him be as a young person, it means that you can easily not be as a young person. It's very easy. It's very easy not to be young. Yeah. So you know, I see these people with all these beets. And you can see that there is some of them. And you can see that there is something in them that wants to not be as young looking. All right? So remember to be teachable.

20:43Yes. You know, I used to have my quiet time from one passage in the Bible. Like every day I read something from the Bible. But after a point, I realized that I think I need to learn more. You see, when it comes to being as the younger, actually the next point is that you must learn new things. Apart from being able to be sat down to teach, it must actually be learning something new.

21:48That you didn't know. That's a characteristic of a young person. Oh, I did not know this. I did not know this. I've learned something. I did not know. You know, recently I was going for a wedding with my grandchildren. Yeah. I called them. I said, let's go. I'm going to this wedding. So I put them in the car and we were going. When we were driving by, I saw some people working by the roadside. And I asked them, do you know who are these people? They don't know. Then they said, no. And I said, these are Jews. There were some Jews in the community where I was driving. We have Jewish community in Ghana. So there were some Jews there. And they were in their camps and order. So I said, those are Jews. So then they said, grandaddy, what is a Jew?

22:50You see, because a young person does not know, is not going to learn what is a Jew. He has a new thing. They don't know what it is. And I said, this is Israel. So what is Israel? Then I have to explain everything. You get it? That's a child. It's new to me. It's new to me. Yes, it's new. One of my little, not too much of the two of them, but they are not aware of time. That it's late. So I have to teach them. It is late. But they said, they want to come home with me. And I have explained that it is midnight. So what is midnight?

23:51They don't know what it is. I have to explain to them. I said to them, okay, count if you can see anybody on the road. If you can't find ten people, then you can come to the house. We can't look. You look for anybody. What it means that it is late. They don't understand it. Even two hands, we want to come. I said, you have to go and sleep. It is already tomorrow. It is like, you are rich. There is something called tomorrow. Tomorrow has come. It is something new to their psychology. They don't understand it. That is what it means to be young. It is like, I am literally going to a person who has lost their younger spirit. They know things, but they are young children every day.

24:54What is this? Why is this? And they will learn a brand new thing. And that is how you must be. Tell us, there must be something brand new that we don't know about God, about church, about the ministry, about life. Tell me, brand new, tell me, tell me, I want to know. That means you are like the younger. You are like the younger. You have to have that mind. Let him be as the younger. You know, I have some spiritual appearance in Malaysia. And I remember one time I was with them. I didn't know why he liked me, but I accepted it very quickly. And one day we were eating together.

25:56And his wife, she put her hand in my pocket and said, Eat this is good. I said, I have to eat it. And many things. Yes. I remember one day he said, this is how to use chopsticks. So he taught me how to use chopsticks. Oh yes. I can eat rice. Rice, one, one, one. I can eat rice with. Yes. He taught me. And you learn, you see that you don't know. Let me tell you something. Everybody here is a bushman or a bushwoman. I'm telling you. Until somebody says, this is something you do and this is not done. Let him be as the younger means.

26:56I'm going to brand new learn something new. That I did not know. You must know there's so much you don't know. So much you don't know in God about God, about God's servants, about the ministry, about life. Yes. That's it. So when we say learn in beer as the younger, it is not letting take your age and say, I'm 27, I'm changing to 17. No, no, no. No. I'm going to give you a message for a 17-year-old, a 27-year-old, 30-70, 40-70-year-old. Behave, that I said, be, is the behavior we want not the numbers. It's the behavior we want not the numbers. I don't know what I'm in the right community or. It's the behavior.

28:04Let him be as the younger. Gather up. Sit down in the class. No, I'm talking. Sit down in the class. That's what I said. Tomorrow, I want to challenge anybody. Take if you can find a classroom with old people and I'll give you 100 pounds. Tomorrow is tomorrow not Monday. You can find it. Take a picture of all the old people in the classroom and they come for 100 pounds. All the people in the classroom are gatherings on Mondays. All young people. And having your mind, I'm going to let something that I don't know. Now I was telling you something.

29:05You know we are going to have a come. So just come to the point. Now. You see, I was having my quiet time. I found out that I was reading from a book. But after some time I realized that no. There are more things that I need to learn. What don't on me was that I don't know so much. And the yes are going by. And I still don't know. And I want to know.

30:06So I decided to increase. I don't only read one passage. Then I decided to have my quiet time from this and from that. Yes. So it's like two. Then after some time, I realized. If you start a discussion with me, OK, Jeremiah 3, 4, Jeremiah 5, Jeremiah 6, Jeremiah 8. Do you know what is the Jeremiah 10? Is it 11, 11, 11, 10, 12, 11? You don't know. I don't know. I can't see that. It is not there. It's just not there. Yes. So that's what it's changed by quiet time. What I do is completely different from what I used to do. Yeah, even this too, whatever is outdated, I can't, I just push more. Yes. I can see when I look at something, it's a car.

31:07I don't know anything in it. I just remember. Do you remember anything from something? I was like, a hard guy, a hard back cook and all this. You don't remember much. You said you're like Christian, you're happy not to know. There's so much serious. Serious, so tell it. So let him be as a younger means, you're coming, I want to learn. I will learn. You tell me, just tell me. You just tell me, tell me what to do. You know, when you have people getting married and they go with their wretched emptiness, they don't know, no, nothing. You can't even make pasta. You can't make nothing. You can't make pasta.

32:12You can't make nothing. And you call yourself girls. Anyway, lift your hands and please Lord. I want to learn new things. Tell me something new, Lord. Something I didn't know. Amen. Do you believe what I said? Sit down. Now, I remember when I went to Tulsa. I think it was in 1980. No, no, no. 2002. Something like that. It was like a year before can I take it and died.

33:16And he was about to come and preach. And there was this guy singing. So just before he came, I was just looking at him from where I was sitting. I was sitting by my wife. We had trouble to Tulsa. I was just sitting there and just looking at him. I was just looking at him. Because I was transfixed by him. He was a person of great interest to me. I was just looking at him. And he had been, his Bible had a brown leather hava. So his Bible is like a big Bible. Those days we didn't use iPads at those times. And then he had a big Bible with big leather. And it was open. And he was reading and checking. And I was wondering, what the hell is he learning now? Yes, what is he checking? He get it. But that's how you must be. So Lord, maybe you are showing me something.

34:16Lord, show me your gift. Show me your power. Show me, give me revelation. Show me your gift. Give me your spirit. Open to me the revelations, the heavens, the gifts of God. I can learn. I want to learn. I want to know. Yes, there's so much more in God. If you are as the younger. Yes. You know, some years ago when I wrote my books, I gave my books sometimes. They would go to a town, they would be sitting with these pastures of big pet churches and all that. At first I was interested to give it to the pastures. And then later I started to tell the guys who are doing the books. Don't bother. When you see the order, I don't bother. They won't read. They can't read. And true, they can't read. And they won't read. They can't and won't chant, can't cook.

35:16They give it to the young guys. The younger guys who are nobody's. They are the ones who are letting be as the younger. They are the ones who have something to learn. Something brand new to enter. Something that is completely different from what you need. You see one day, I was a young lady, God was getting married. I don't know whether I'm talking to the rights. I'm talking to the right. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. A young lady, she was getting married. Now all that she had experienced was her home. What does her home? She's like in her house.

36:16We have two types of marriage. Do you see? One is called Fend for Yourself. Fend for Yourself. Fend for Yourself. Marriage. Yes. Sort out your own food. Sort out your own sex. Sort out your everything. Sort out the finances. Sort out everything. It's up to you. Fend for Yourself. The whole world should know we are married, but fend for Yourself at home. Both sides experienced that. But she saw another, you see that's what I'm talking about. Lending new things. She saw another type of marriage. Where it was not Fend for Yourself. It was like I care for You. That this marriage is called an of course marriage. Of course. Of course.

37:16Of course. So you see, she learned something new. Yeah, she learned something new. Yeah. Sit down. I remember another sister also getting married. And then she came along. She said, I realize the way we treated my father was not I was like, she had never known that. They didn't treat daddy well. So they always laugh at him. She described one day she said that her father came and said he wanted to eat Yam.

38:16Do you know what Yam is? It's like something like potatoes, right? Yeah. I said I want to eat Yam. I said she described the way we mocked him and spoke about it because he said he wanted to eat Yam. And the way we talked. She said she didn't know that there's another way to treat the father or the daddy of the house. Oh yes. I'm talking of real things. I'm not making up stories. Yeah. She had really known there's another way. Yes. As always, you see, like Regina spoke, wrote about it. He said that fathers had been treated as buffoons. Yes. They treated as buffoons in the family. Yes. Like, what is he saying? What is he saying? Or quiet? He's stupid. Whatever. Seenly. Not really. Whatever. Buffoons. But she saw another way. She said to me, I feel so bad. The way we treated him.

39:16Then she said when that happened, actually on that day, she decided to go and make the Yam for him. Went to save him. Yes. My father was just quietly looking at him. Yeah. It is another way some of you, you have no training. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yes. Anyway. Let him be as the younger. Tell somebody, I'm hoping to learn something new. Yes. Number four. When you are as a younger, you copy quickly, not copy. You copy quickly. Yes. When you lose this humility, you don't even copy.

40:20And you don't want to copy. Even if it is a good thing. A young person copies quickly. Look. This is the reason why young people, when I see missionaries, I always ask the children about the language. The children are the ones who understand the language. They write the grown ups know because their children copy. The grown ups also copy. But children copy fast. There will be no time between the time that they saw it and then they copied it. Yes. You see, I'll give you an example in the church. Let's take this church here and not in him. I'm just going to use your music as an example of this.

41:26If you go back one time, I went to a church and I said what music is this? What music is this? Three songs. Three is a language in Ghana. Like something is chewy. But you leave the U, chewy. Chew E. But you leave the U out so it can chew. Now, I said what song is this? I said what we sing. Then I said why don't you sing also we have over 250 songs. Yes, we have go and check it out.

42:26There are over 250 songs. Just as the method of this church has every church has songs and music. And so you are part of this church why don't you sing? We have two songs. And then you know what they said. The words are too many we can't. So some don't copy at all. In fact, when somebody went to a church of hours, one of our churches and said this is not a lighthouse church. Because the music, everything was different. Because music is part of what we are doing. It's part of it. And some copy. But much more slowly. So if I used to there, I'm not saying it's accurate, but let's just take today. The earlier service sang a song, they copied but older music.

43:30They sang. Go somewhere, preach somewhere. This church copied first, first, so it sang, Rousseau Sharon. But if I take the next level, if I take less, it's Zurich. Yes, which Zurich has living waters, they are very advanced in whatever. They sang, you are invited with the dancing. Yes. Huh? Yes. Yes. What others said, the dancing is too loud for... We cannot learn this dancing. Madameka. Madameka. Madameka.

44:33So it's not about copying. It's about the copying and the speed. You just tell a child this and it starts to do that. It's like, would you take some time to learn? No, we have learned it already because you just did it. Yeah. It is the speed of copying that reveals that you are as a younger person. And that's why the Chinese and the Koreans are so far advanced. Now look at the Chinese cars. You would have thought that Chinese cars. I was recently in another country in Europe here recently. Chinese, Chinese, Chinese, Chinese. Although they have cars in all European countries, no, no, no, no, Chinese, Chinese, Chinese. Yeah. They are just on it. Yeah. If Elon Musk, if you like, make, we will copy it right now. Elon Musk would make something. We will copy now.

45:34We have no shame. Yes. During the, I think it's a six-day war. One of those was in Israel. They paid one of the Egyptian pilots. They paid him. They took his family out of Egypt. And they paid him. I'm sure millions gave him a new name and new identity, everything. And they told him he took off with a plane and just 10 left. And straight he flew to Israel with a, with a mixed jet, Russian made jet. Because the Russian jets are wild. And they wanted to learn from it. So he turned and flew straight to Israel. Top speed. He landed the, when they were the Americans, when they were dismantled, they plane immediately took everything.

46:34They were copying everything that they had, they don't have. Yeah. They were waiting. It's also the speed of copying and of learning. Yeah. That's what makes you younger. Yeah. Another person will be analyzing. Is it really a good thing? Is it really this? Is it really that? Do we really have to do this? Is it really like that? Yes. Hmm. Sit down. Okay. I think I'm virtually done. What's going on? What's going on? How many are going to be as the younger? Yes. You know, if you behave young, you will know how to preach like I preach. I'm not saying that I'm a good preacher. But no, no, listen, excuse me.

47:34I'm not saying that I'm a good preacher. That's not what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is that at least my preaching has had some effect which yours hasn't had after now. Are you or not true? Yes. So, I'm saying that if you were fast, if you were fast, when I say copy, I mean copy. Your preaching and your ministry would escalate and accelerate in a certain way. Because preaching, you see, the main thing about the amount of God like me, the main thing of me and about me is my preaching. This is the biggest thing of any servant of God. It's the preaching of the person, of course, and whatever goes with it. If you were fast, if you were fast, if you were as a younger, you would be preaching better than me.

48:42With different results that nobody could ever have. That I haven't had. Yeah. I mean it. You see how you are all stunning and afternoon in Nottingham and Sunday. You are just listening to me. The whole church is quiet and you are just listening to hear what's my good, my next word. That's how people will be standing up to listen to you to wonder what I'm going to say next. Yes. So much more advancement in God, in God, if you know how to copy fast. And not by the time you should have copied, you took too long. You know, I read a book years ago. It was called a Ministers Handbook by Mike Maddock.

49:44I didn't get anything out of the book except one thing I remember. He said, if you want to write right now because you not write the same thing later. So it made me write all the books I wrote. Yes. And today I realized I wouldn't write a lot of the thing because you need so much. You need something to write. You know many times when I'm writing I feel the thought comes to me, makes me want to stop. And that felt comes out. Will people read it? Will they even bother to read it? Will they all listen to some writing? Will they read it? Will they even take it seriously? I don't feel like writing because writing is one of the most difficult things. Are you listening to me? Yes. But when I saw that message I never thought about it. But now I know what I wrote I would probably know right in the same way if I was to write it.

50:52So the speed of copying, of learning, of implementing things to change everything. Let him be as a younger. Now I want to say that the last, maybe I should give you this as a last. A younger person is the energy, the energy and the movement. Yes. When you are as a younger you have a lot of energy applied. Amen. Now sit down. As we end, make sure you are the camp. That's all.

51:54Now as we end, I want to say that energy, energy and movement. When my grandchildren are there, like I can hear them, when they are coming, I can hear them from far. So sometimes I tell people you see this noise. There has to be sound. They loud music loudness. When they come, like there is no rest, once they are there, there is no rest. They are going here, they are doing this, they are running here, they are moving. But they are grown up. So we want to really stop moving. The rest will come up sometime.

52:56So that's what I want to say. Let him be as the younger means. Become very active. You see, it's interesting that many of you don't join flow. And actually don't pray flow. You see, that's why you should put your energy. That your nickname will be prayer warrior. That will be your nickname or your other name. Otherwise known as prayer warrior or flow prayer or something. But those are not the nicknames you have. Yes, you don't pray. You don't join flow. You don't wake up early to pray. Because we are dealing with evil spirits. Yesterday I was walking around in one of the cities here and I looked at myself, wow, I mean this is, I mean, red-channelized, senselessness, wickedness.

54:02Everyone is reveling. Brewing time, feeling free, doing every bad thing you can think of in the towns, in the shops, the whole country is like that. Yes, ready getting ready more, right pin for judgment. Yes, and the young ones who of us who know the Lord, who should have applied our energy, energy towards prayerfulness, holiness and hummin seeking God and using energy, energy for prayer, energy for coming to church, energy for the drive, to win souls. You are not behaving like young people. You know, when I was going to propose to my beloved in 1985,

55:14I proposed to her in August. And when I was going to propose to her, I shared with her my vision, my visions. I said, I see myself on a mountain preaching. These are my raps. You see, a spiritual person. You get it. Our world is different. Our world is different. What we use our energy for, how we talk is different. And you are young people who have found Jesus. You should be used instead of using your energy for sleeping of the Saturday nights. And doing whatever, you should be using that energy on Saturday just as the whole streets are filled with dancing,

56:15red chatness and wickedness, you should have used your energy to also do prayer, shouting, screaming, witnessing, I mean, generate spiritual power, displacing demons. That's what you should use your energy for. But you are not doing that. So you are not as the younger. Look, sit down. Prayer needs energy. Prayer needs energy. Prayer needs a younger person. Although the elder can pray, the younger, are you with me, should be more wilder in prayer. Me, you know, I learned how to pray. The things I learned to pray was to sleep a little. I pray, then I'll sleep even if it's like five minutes, then I sort of wake up, then I'm awake, then I can go for a long time.

57:16But many times, prayer needs to sleep. How many of you have noticed that prayer needs to sleep? That's sleep. It's not the end of the prayer time. It is a refueling. Yes! But some of you are taking it as a sleeping drug to sleep. If I prayed for eight hours, it means that I slept at a point for a short time. If I prayed for eight hours, I slept somewhere along the line briefly, not for hours, but for minutes. Yes! I mean, I can be honest with you. Maybe you never have any such man. Sorry, I'm sorry if I'm lowering your...

58:17Yes, I'm lowering the start button. That's what you should have been using your energy for. Because a young person has energy. And you should have been using it. We should have... You should be running the circles around those of us who are older than 50. You run the circles around, we will ourselves to know that, Charlie. Let's leave the prayer to these guys. That's not what's happening. When I'm leading from you are sleeping. You should have been praying circles around us. And we are dazzled and dizzy from your prayer, from your fasting. Your fasting you should make us feel bad, from the way you fast. Yes. Many older people come fast because of diabetes.

59:17Because of diabetes, your sugar levels are jumping all over the place. Sometimes it's dangerous to fast. Yes. A lot of older people don't fast. I remember one person, he told me if I fast I would get... He wanted he fasted and he was admitted to the sixth floor. Yes. He was admitted. Yes. He was admitted. So he explained to me, I don't fast. I would declare that fast but I'm myself. You must be using your energies. As a young people outside who don't know Jesus, I'm using their energy, more girls, more boyfriends, more drinking, more... They are rating themselves. I can do this and I can do that.

1:00:17I can do this three times. I can do this four times. I can do it with two people. You should be telling us, look, we are now 7 hours prayer. It's not a problem. 3 hours prayer is my shortest time. One hour, I pray like this. I mean to 9 hours, I mean to all night. This is how I fast. I fast for two weeks. I fast for one week. I drive, three days drive. No water, no water for three days. I drink only water for five days. It is something that's part of my life. This is what the young people should be telling us. Let him be as the young as well. You are stronger, you will not feel certain things. Instead of that, we are not behaving as the young as. When they come to the spiritual works. So my prayer for first love church. Is it being a young guy? It's not about all these lights. They were not here earlier in the earlier service.

1:01:17It's as if you are younger. It's not about lights. It's about prayers. It's about first things. It's about prayer light and first things. And serious working for God. Energy, outreach. Outreach upon outreach upon outreach upon outreach upon outreach upon outreach upon outreach. Yes. I want some young people to make me feel like I'm an old man. When I see you moving, I say, I've seen that I'm old. What these guys are doing, I can't do it. I'm not doing it. I don't feel that way. I feel more energetic than the young people. Yes. Rather than say, if you can't keep up, lazy, bon sleeping or morning. By 11 o'clock, one o'clock, you have not brushed your teeth. You have not refined your butt. Two o'clock in the afternoon. Ah?

1:02:17Two o'clock. Two o'clock. Three o'clock. Three o'clock. You know, I remember one brother was saying that, you know, he was going on a masturbation challenge. Yes. masturbation challenge. But he wanted to see if he could masturbate 20, 21 times or so within a day. Yes. Yes. That's the evil juice using his energy for before he got saved. Yes. Yes. Yes. 21 times. So he was describing he doesn't, then he drinks water. Then he doesn't, then drinks water, then he doesn't, drinks water.

1:03:17Mata-begin challenge. Instead of prayer challenge, it's a fasting challenge. Instead of outtreat challenge, so winning challenge. Come on now. Come on now. You are not using your energy right. Yes. You guys, you wake up with erections in the mornings. You don't understand. I shouldn't say what I'm saying. The erection is a revelation of your strength. It's a revelation of your strength, of your normalcy. Look at all of you girls. Everybody with a different hairstyle. No one has come here with your real hair.

1:04:19That's what you have energy for. You have to do my hair. Sunday is coming. I have to do my hair. This is where I have to go here. I have to do this. Instead of using your energy to pray. And fast. Look at it. That's hair. All right. Stand to your feet, everybody. Tell somebody, let him be as a young man. Father, thank you for your word today. That is guiding us and leading us. We are grateful. And we thank you. Lift your hand right now. Pray, Lord, I want to be as a younger. I want to be as a young person. I want to be able to say, Young man, young woman, those Jesus. Thank you. Para Majuma de namazandra, para para para.

1:05:20I want to use my fire, my power, my energy to love you, to serve you, to follow you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the grace to be as a younger. A younger in you, younger in you. A younger in you, younger in you. A younger in you. We give you time. I give you friends. In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you. For here, not proud. In Jesus' name, amen. Now, close your eyes for a moment. If you are here and want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I want to pray with you right now. Maybe somebody invited you to church. And you want to give your life to God.

1:06:20I also want to pray with you. I want to give your life to God today. Lift up your right hand, and I want to pray with you. And for you. God bless you. Pastor, pray with me.

If you've lifted it up, lift it up high so I can see. God bless you. Father, thank you for all those who are giving their lives, giving their lives to Jesus today. We are blessed.
