7 Reasons Why Christian Leaders Fall — Shane Idleman

The sermon kind of changed way midway through the week. I had the sermon already prepared and then Thursday morning got here. And I've just had this issue on my heart last two weeks. We've been talking about when the enemy strikes, right?

How to defeat the enemy he's coming after our families is coming after our marriages. He's coming against our children and all these different areas so what I did was To be honest with you a couple of my heroes in the faith have recently fallen from grace.

Admitting to sexual immorality and having to resign one of them endorsed a few of my books. In addition to that I've had pastoral friends that are in close proximity Here recently have to resign and I just wanted to send out not only a warning to Christian leaders.

But also to help all of us because these points are going to apply to all of us and sometimes When we walk close to that line. The enemy wants us to think well, it's no big deal, but God wants to wake us up and What it was what happened is Thursday morning I had all this written out and I said Lord I don't want to bring this kind of message if you know if this is just something, you know.

You're I'm passionate about because I'm seeing the devastation or just give me some type of confirmation. Lord show me that that you know. You want me to change? Directions on this sermon and no sooner had I said that I walk out into the kitchen.

And my mom my wife's having a difficult call with a friend of ours that we found out that affair took place and they both have to resign from ministry and it's just it's reaching epidemic levels of What's happening in the church and what we want to do is number one say that it can happen to any of us.

The there is a lion that we've talked about that is sent to kill still and to destroy. We can't play with this lion, he's an enemy not an inconvenience and he's taking down marriages. He's taking down families.

He's he's a he's causing children to walk away from the Lord. He's causing people to resign from the ministry because of this area. So it's not just Christian leaders. This is happening to everybody. So it begs the question.

Why is it happening to Christian leaders? Well, why does it happen to Christians? James says that we have evil desires within us. And when these evil desires are acted upon. See, that's a key word. They come in the mind.

They go out into the trash. That's how the door of temptation you've heard it said it swings both ways. You can enter or exit when those evil thoughts come in we submit them to obedience to Christ and we move on but when we allow those Root those those thoughts to take root and we open the door.

James says once that evil desire is conceived like birth once it's conceived it gives birth to what to sin and Then when the sin is fully grown when it's ran its course. When sins fully grown it brings forth death it brings forth death spiritually emotionally physically in all areas.

Death is what sin so I think what happens a lot of times in the church we minimize this issue. When God wants us to maximize it put it out there. Don't give the enemy a stronghold. Don't give him a foothold.

What a foothold is is you know when somebody tries to close the door, right? And you put your foot in front of that door and they're not closing it. So we give him he's got a crack right there. He's right there.

He's just just to open that door. Just all I want is a foothold and Then I'll be able to enter in when the enemy goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. What is he looking for that open door so this is going to be applicable to all of us and after having some of my heroes in the faith fall in the last few weeks and and This just a devastating topic.

We have to remember something too, though. I want to give a couple. Not disclaimers, but before I get to the actual points a few introductions is That this isn't really a charismatic issue and I hear that sometimes.

Oh, it's just happening to those charismatic clowns, you know the Holy Spirit. They're all weird and then they're falling falling falling. Why can name just as many on this side of the camp is this side of the camp in our own Valley?

So it has nothing to do with charisma it has everything to do with character. And it's not just charismatic leaders, it's all types of leaders are falling in this area and we have to at some point you with humility address this topic and the big difference is Pride says I've never committed adultery.

I've never done this. It'll never happen to me. Humility says by the grace of God, I haven't committed it, but I can right. We're admitting that area of weakness, that's what humility does it says listen Lord, we're all susceptible.

Don't think we're gonna get away from this one where the enemy comes in because he wants to destroy Our marriages and our families and that's how he does it. He does it by this. He doesn't do it by encouraging you to get into the Word of God.

He doesn't do it by encouraging you to put on worship music. He doesn't encourage it by having you go to church and loving you. He doesn't encourage it with all those things he takes what God has designed sex and perverts it and allows the destruction to take place and The one thing also I've learned through all this is we're only to put Christ on the pedestal not man.

We put him on the pedestal. We look to him and I told the first service. I'll tell you guys I appreciate you know, everybody loves the messages and they're built up, but don't look to me. Look to him.

My job is to just the vessel point you to him point you to him because I can let you down. You can let me down. We let each other down. That's why we look to him and people ask the question Oh, you're you know, isn't your faith shaken because of this my faith isn't shaken.

I'm disappointed. But I look to Christ not man. Anytime you look to man and put him above Christ or equal to you will be let down and people waver in their faith. And oh, I can't believe it. The church is falling apart.

Is this faith really real? Sure, but you look to him and you have to remember something the value of the battle reflects the value of What we're fighting for. Just because there's a battle. Raging that tells me there's something vitally important that the enemy wants if there's no battle.

He doesn't want it. So we have to on one hand Be warned that the enemy is coming in like a like a thief he to kill to steal and to destroy. Warn us but then at the same time encourage us. Because to be forewarned is to be forearmed if I know he's coming through the back door.

I'm locking it and I'm putting a nine millimeter Glock right there just in case he gets in. Because you're prepared, right? So that's what we're trying to do with these types of sermons is prepare and I would say the Majority of counseling appointments that the church does the majority of the reason why marriages are falling apart is because of This issue we can't ignore it.

We have to address it head-on. And we have to remember something to conviction is not always a hammer to the head. It's a still small voice to the heart. Many times People do not repent or change because they haven't received the hammer to the head.

You know the thing God's gonna bring on a sledgehammer or a lightning bolt and he'll stop me. But no, it's a still small voice to the heart saying stop. Returned come back. See that I've learned God doesn't compete with our time.

He doesn't compete with the noise of the world. He calls me to be still and know that I am God wait on me. He doesn't compete. Hey Shane listen, I'm gonna get louder too. Hey, look at me over in the corner.

He says no, I'll draw you to me by that still small voice of God and then we start to confuse patients with approval. God's being patient with us. We say oh he approves of my behavior. No, he doesn't he's calling and Drawing us back to him in that relationship through repentance and restoration so be very careful because I do when I counsel people they say I Thought God would give me a wake-up call or something.

I thought he would have stopped me. I thought he would have broke my car down on my way to the hotel. I thought he would have really it's often. It's a still small voice of a loving father. Don't go there.

Don't go there and we know it right because what do we like to do? Oh Not right now. Well, I've heard this sound before and I'll just ignore it. I'll ignore it. I'll engage in the sin. I'll repent later and then it's an ongoing cycle that never ends.

Reason One: Pride and the Belief That Failure Cannot Happen

So this is a vital vital topic and let's begin with point number one. Many say it will never happen to me. Right, I've read books and studies and research on Christian leaders who fail this is on the top four of the whole.

You know intervening thousands of people this will never happen to me. Really. What is first Corinthians say 1012 that if we think we are standing firm? We should be careful that we don't fall. Spurgeon said we are never never let me add some more nevers in there.

We are never never never so much in danger of being proud is when we think we are humble. That's when you're that's when the enemy comes in when you think you're humble. That's why I often say I'm a prideful man.

I'm admitting to everybody right now. National media that picks us up on YouTube Vimeo radio. I Shane Idleman is a prideful man. Working on humility by the grace of God. CJ Mahaney said that many years ago to pastors conference.

I'm a prideful man. Working on humility by the grace of God. So I can say I can't stand up here and say I have never committed adultery by the grace of God but I can I. It's in me. Oh, how can you it's because it's in all of us.

If that sinful nature is given full reign. Watch out. Because it will progress. See after we have to remember something about sin. I love what the prolific author John Owen said be killing sin or sin be killing you.

It's terrible English, but it makes its point, right? Be killing sin or sin be killing you. Sin either withers or it grows. Depending on whether you feed or starve it. See sometimes we oh, I'll just keep it right here in this little bottle.

Right there. There's my little pet vice right there. You kind of cute, isn't it? It's gonna stay right there. But it doesn't work that way. It's either growing. Sin is growing in my life right now, or it's withering.

Depending on whether I feed or starve it. That's that's this biblical look at we if we had time we go through all the scriptures dealing with be not conformed. Flee sexual morality. Do not let this mind be in you but let this mind be on you be in you.

Put on the full armor of God turn from this don't engage Into that withdraw from this don't do that. Come out from among them my people unless you share in her sins or receive of her plagues. Revelation the but it's a constant.

Listen life is a battleground not a playground. Paul talks about being a soldier being having weapons. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. They're not they're not gonna do it but pulling down a stronghold towel right here.

Conquering sin here first. So it's it begins here. Number one. You have to say it could happen to me. It could happen to me. The enemy likes likes it when you say it can never happen to me. I don't know how they do that.

I mean we hear it a lot, right? Somebody chastises somebody who's addicted to alcohol, but they couldn't stop caffeine if their life depended on it. Somebody's addicted to cigarettes, but they couldn't you know, they put oh, how could they smoke?

Well, you're addicted to this. We Like to put our little you know sins aren't as bad mine aren't as bad as yours on on things, right? But this is the first step if you want to keep a solid marriage together a solid Christian foundation.

This is number one. It could happen to me. You see somebody is you know following this could happen to me. In Paul said for when I am weak, I am strong. We talked about this last week so I don't want to belabor the point but it begs repeating our strength is found in weakness.

So how in the world does that work? Because see when I admit my weakness if I said hey guys, I'm weak in this area. I'm weak in this area. Can you help me? It's in this weakness that I'm strong now because the enemy goes well, I can't really go up for there.

Not only is he admitted it he's brought in godly counsel. He's put safeguards around the area. He structured his life in such a way that that weakness is now protected. Right. So if I ran into some of you Trader Joe's and I said, hey guys, I'm I'm really addicted to chocolate.

That's my weakness guess what you're gonna be checking when you see me in my car, right? Because it's exposing a weakness on this area and that's what that's the difference between pride and humility.

Pride says even this sermon isn't for me. You know who needs to hear this I can think of. Well, guess what? You've already turned a deaf ear to what God is trying to do in your own life. Anytime we think this sermon preaches to me before it preaches to you.

Anytime we say all this doesn't apply to me. I know who this really applies to there's a good chance. We're wanting to do this. That's my kids do now, I'm not listening. I'm not listening. I'm not listening.

I'm not listening. And my other kids get upset. They were listen to me. I'm not listening. I'm not listening. That's what we want to do. We turn a deaf ear to the very way God wants to speak to us. So humility says I'm not only coming full ears Lord.

I'm coming full heart full surrender saying Lord speak to me. What areas can I improve in I want to come Lord? I'm a weak vessel because when I'm weak It's in my weakness that I am strong. Because here's the other thing we forget when we admit our weaknesses when we surrender them when we repent then something Dramatic and dynamic happens.

It's called the filling of the Holy Spirit. You empty yourself of self and now you filled the Spirit of God now. You can live out what they call the spirit filled life that everybody's scared of. The spirit filled life full of love joy peace contentment long-suffering gentleness kindness goodness and Self-control.

The spirit filled life. That's how you defeat the enemy because somebody's filled the Spirit of God. They're humble. They've been they've been humiliated probably too, but they're humble and from that humility now We can minister because you go in a situation saying oh I could I could fall there.

I'm getting away from that cliff that cliff too. I don't want anything. You're I'm humble Lord. I'm weak. I'm a sinner. I need you keep me grounded in your word. So this is this is this is priority number one humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and do time.

He will exalt you exalt yourself, and he will abase you. I can we had time. We'd also go through pride right he humbles the pride the proud the humble he teaches his way. The God told the prophet I believe was Ezekiel that I will drive.

I will bring back what was driven away. I will bind up the broken. I will strengthen the sick, but the fat the proud the arrogant I will feed in judgment thus sayeth the Lord God Almighty. That's some serious stuff.

He hates pride. Because pride is that that that that satanic type of attitude that says I will be like the Most High God. So if you want to overcome the enemy especially in this area it begins with humility.

Reason Two: Neglecting God Through Busyness

Number two what happens in those who fall in this area most of them are too busy. You've heard me talk about that before right, but we have to say it again. If you're too busy to stay in God's Word if you're too busy to find time in that prayer closet.

You're too busy some things need to be adjusted. The enemy loves to get us too busy. Oh, are you doing all these things you're ministering you're going here. You're working. You're making a good living.

You've got kids to raise you're doing all this stuff, but you're too busy for God. Well guess What while we're too busy life is falling apart families are crushing kids are rejecting Christ. Things the world is shaking the church is falling.

Why. Because everybody's too busy too busy doing what who knows? Those who wait upon me shall renew their strength. You know waiting is not some five-minute devotional. Poke fun a lot at that a lot if you have a five-minute devotional that's fine do it of course.

But you might want to add some time on to that because waiting time it takes. I see this sometimes at worship worship nights. It takes 20 30 40 50 minutes sometimes to get the junk out of the heart and for God to finally move and finally break and then once break through starting.

Now let's flip on the lights. Let's go home because we didn't take the time and seek him so guard your you should guard your Prayer time and your devotional time like nothing else you have you should safeguard that this is a this is not something you might fit On the calendar.

This is this is my life. This is my anchor. I have to have this. I have to have this. Because from that everything else is built right that's the foundation. The Word of God is foundational prayer is foundational.

And I've noticed that people who are truly praying. Not just Oh Lord. He'll bless me today, and Lord. I just you know I'm a sinner. Just thank you so much, and and you know a couple other things, and that's it while they go cheat on their wife.

See we can say a superficial prayer, but you can't do heart-searching prayer and Repentance with the Word of God open in front of you crying out to God saying Lord all these areas or Creating me a clean heart renew a right spirit within me Lord.

Don't withdraw your Holy Spirit from me Lord. Let the bones that you've broken that they may rejoice read Psalm 51 quoted look to God and let him repair the heart. There's no way Abounding sin besetting sin can exist in a praying heart.

That's praying like that you can't because if you're doing that you sure don't want to be in that prayer closet. And if you're in that prayer closet you sure don't want to be doing that. There's no way that they can coexist.

So the devil says I'm gonna get you so busy with your friends with social media with your kids with everything. I love busy Christians. Why. Because they're not powerful Christians. The most powerful Christians I know don't have TV and a lot of media going on.

They've got their time in the Word of God their time ministering to fill with the Spirit of God. They make time for God. Because that's where the power comes from. It doesn't come from being too busy and I often say if we're too busy put to put and God's not first.

Then we're too busy some things need to be changed. Shane that might cost me a career. Yeah, it sure might Jesus said carry your cross it cost me a career. Stock options 401ks. And it wasn't easy. He took me out of there kicking and screaming the whole way.

But why. Because there's comfort in that basically Lord. I don't trust you. You don't know what's best. You're not gonna be able to see me through. And once I begin to put him see once you put him first.

From that priority then everything else flows out of that. See if that's a priority right then everything else is prioritized around that. Ask Morgan how many people made fun of me for going to bed early?

Guess who's not making fun of me now? Because I need that time in the morning. Does it happen all the time? No. No once we heard the death last night. I've been up since 3 this morning. I want to go to better about right about now.

I feel could go to bed very easily. It's difficult. But where does that strength come from being filled with the Spirit of God and That's what people often and I'll just throw this in there. I'm not. I'm trust me.

I'm not trying to my own horn or do anything I'm just telling you people say how do you find time to write books turn off the TV? You'll find 20 30 hours a week a week a Week. I Go through six or seven books a month on my dresser.

Just no media. That's all there's not not special. I'm not holy. I'm not spiritual. I need God. I need him so much I need to read about prayer at night before I go to bed and then guess what what I'm thinking when I get up in The morning Lord, I want to pray.

I just need to get in your presence. I don't care what time it is Lord and because I'm filling my mind with that at night. Is there attack against that often? Oh, yeah, of course. Of course, everybody wants to drop off movies and watch this and go check out this watch this videos.

Okay, hold on. What's my priority? You can call me a holy roller or Jesus freak or whatever you want to call me, but don't call me Luke warm. Because if Christ isn't priority something else is and if something else is it's called idolatry.

Very simple terms. Jesus didn't say hey if you would you consider me and if you want to carry your cross and and you might want to do This he says come die. Follow me. Ooh. That's all he says die to self carry your cross.

Follow me, I don't know what that looks like follow me trust me. But many times we're too busy and if you're convicted, what's that mean? Good just make some changes. It wasn't easy for me. I Move remember I told this story.

I moved in with my mom in 2000. For six months I fight and scream in the whole way. I end up staying there a couple of years, but I get in there. I go mom. Where's the TV? She goes. Oh, I don't have cable and TV.

I'm like what? Well, okay and then I pick up you know Billy Graham's autobiography and church history and missions and and all this stuff and just can't stop reading the Word of God comes Alive because you're feeding your mind what it was designed to feed on finally brethren whatever things are are noble and right and Of truth or meditate on these things not all the junk in the culture.

And that's one of my big concerns. Holy the Holy Spirit isn't leading many people. It's Hollywood. Think about it. You fill in the blank. What are we allowing? So if we're too busy, that's how God will draw us away.

Oh I'm watching on Desperate Wives. Why don't I act it out of my own life? I'm watching out on CSI Miami. Why don't I act out in my own life? I don't know. Are those still airing? I don't know. You could date me probably.

And I know I make this a big issue because but this is the big issue. That's taking people down. Ask people who counsel other people. What that happened this tell me about your devotional life and your prayer life and you think you think anybody's gonna say Shane.

It's fantastic. I'm on fire for God. I'm in hours in the Lord the Lord speaking to me. No, nobody says that nobody's ever said that they say I don't have one. I've drifted from God. My foundation has been shaken.

I need to return to the Good Shepherd. I don't have that. That's why I'm in the predicament I'm in you know the old saying Somebody who's whose life is not falling apart is usually owns a Bible that is falling apart and that's truth.

Sometimes we need to be jarred out of our comfort zone and wake up. It's hard to fall when you're already on your knees. Is it not? To the greatest Asset you will ever have and you will ever cultivate is what I've been pounding at this pulpit for three and a half years.

You better make time for God because he's not gonna compete with your time. He doesn't compete as a little kid. Come on. Let me he just says here's what you need to do do it. And if you don't do it, here's the consequences.

And I don't know why people don't do it if this this baffles. Well, I won't say that either. I'm gonna be careful here blows my mind whatever you want to say. But if we truly I guess maybe it's a belief issue if we truly believe that this is the inspired inerrant Word of God.

Given to guard men given to direct men the very words of God. Speaking breath through the Holy Spirit prompted men moved by God moved through the Holy Spirit of God as a lamp unto my feet a light Into my path that it is living sharper than any double-edged sword piercing even joint and morrow.

It is a discerner of the thoughts in the intensive man. If it's God's Word to mail Why does it sit on the shelf and grow dusty? Get dusty. Why? Well think about what we're saying. I don't have time for that the God of the universe has written to us.

Well, it's boring. Shane's boring because all you're putting a bunch of junk in that's why it's boring. Light and darkness cannot live together. We're watching all these whore and all these media things and now we're all this is boring.

I don't like this. Why do you like this. Because your flesh is saying get me away from that. That's why many people don't like it. But they need it. The very thing they need is the very thing they're afraid of.

You doubt this. What about if I was able to say as soon as you read this cover to cover. Slowly methodically take a few notes. I will give you ten thousand dollars cash. How many of you would do that very quickly?

So ten thousand dollars that we probably misspend is More important than spiritual health. Now don't get me wrong. I would probably read it pretty quick, too. Because that's at that X that added extra motivation.

But compare oh man, I would devour that thing for ten thousand, but I'm not gonna devour it with my marriage falling apart. Oh, I came to Stir it up tonight. I did not not not in a real good mood. Because I see what the enemy is doing to families and we're gonna have to bury somebody in a few weeks because of this.

And I'm getting really tired of it because the answer is right there. I'll take ten thousand dollars, but I'll continue to be drifting away from God for the rest of my life. I'll take that but not this.

I'll take the ten thousand, but I don't want to kick this addiction. I'll take the ten thousand. But I'll stay depressed and suicidal instead. Think about that. I got if this is just a book at the library.

I got it. But once we realize that God himself gave the Word of God and You a lot of reason times why it's boring is because you've got to push through that discipline yourself get some study Bibles get some commentaries.

When I read the Levitical priesthood, you know people say that's boring it. But if you understand the significance that God said I'm going to bring Animal sacrifices for a time and the Levitical priesthood is going to be my mediator between God and man.

It's slaying the blood of animals for the Passover study the Passover. That's foreshadowing of Christ to come in the consistency of Scripture and then you get into study Bible. How does James apply to me be patient through tribulation all these things?

And you begin to live off the Word of God like III don't know how people get through it without it because it's gonna be hard to hard to commit adultery when you turn to Proverbs and it says stolen water is sweet and Bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

But you do not know that the dead are there that her guests are in the depths of hell. You think you might make a different decision if that's what you're living in. The problem is we're not living in this we're living in this and as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.

So the enemy doesn't want you have any time for this. Now, please don't misunderstand. I know there's single moms, you know with four little kids with my you know, I know it's difficult. But I also know it can be done every one of the every one of us.

Even legitimate excuses would find the time for $10 ,000. Who wouldn't? Maybe somebody I don't know but as soon as you read this cover to cover you would have a $10 ,000 check. I bet we'd be given out a lot of money.

But nobody else has time for it for no money. A lot of it has to do with the fact that many people are not truly filled with the Spirit of God. Because when you're in his word and it's in a scripture speaks life to your heart you have worship music on.

That's a greatest high you'll ever know. Once you're filled the Spirit of God in that that the Holy Spirit me cries Abba Father, I'm spending time with my father. He's speaking to me through his word.

I will encourage you. I will direct you be courageous when I read though my servant Moses is dead. Joshua be strong and be courageous. Pick up where he left off move. It's not gonna be easy and I read that it comes to life of me.

Life is difficult life is hard. But I need to be be courageous and not not worry about what the enemy's gonna do. It comes to life if you believe that. If you don't believe it why even here if you do believe it.

Why aren't you making a lot of time for this? One thing of motivation that might help to to get your kids in the Word of God or get your Grandchildren in the Word of God. I made a promise. It's gonna be hard to keep and I'm gonna do it.

I've got four Bibles for my kids. I'm reading through their Bible each one. Some of them are 2 ,500 pages each one. I'm reading through in my own personal notes. I'm praying for you today on this issue.

Watch this issue. Satan comes in right here going to Psalms. Look at this I'm encouraging you today and it's gonna be two years worth of reading. Here you go when you're 16. They're already looking forward to it.

It's Oh Shane. That's so great. No, I have to I I need to. I need to leave. I need that motivation. Though that could be the greatest gift you ever give your kids. My daughter wants me to hurry up and finish in this week.

So, you know it's time praying for you and what's God speaking you want to come to when scripture jumps out watch it here. He's gonna come in like this be guarded up be built up. Look, no matter what you're going through don't let depression God and you're you're this is there.

They're there you're leaving this treasure to them. If you believe it if you believe it's real see I do. Because it's radically changed my life. When you apply the Word of God to your life things change.

Doesn't mean it gets easier. But now I've now I'm on that solid foundation. You know what? Jesus said right those who hear my sayings and do not do them I will liken him to a man who built his house upon the rock.

I'm sorry built it upon the sand and what happened when the winds came when the Rain beat down when everything happened that house fell and great was its fall. Why. Because they did not build their house on the Word of God.

But the one who hears my word and does it well. How do you know to do it if you don't know what's in it? You got to start there if you're not in the word the word won't be in you. So he who hears it and does it I will liken him to a man who built the house on the rock.

And it was sunny all day. No, same storm came. You see the difference same storm same rain same wind everything came. But Christ said it did not fall because it was founded on the rock and many people can quote it.

But very few people do it. You see the difference there, right? It's not that we hold the Bible in our hands or bring it to church our own one. It's what we're actually obeying what's in there. I Spent a lot more time on that point, but I believe it's important number three.

Reason Three: Neglecting Holiness

Look at number three before a person falls. Holiness is often hindered. Holiness is hindered. What I mean by holiness is God calls Christians if you are a believer God is calling you out of the cultural mindset.

I know that's hard to believe. But God doesn't want us to go in there and be missional if we fall when we reach. Right. Everybody's like so we got to go engage the culture. We got to go engage the culture.

Why is everybody falling when they reach? Yes, we need to be missional. We need to reach our culture. But at the same time the Bible says come out from among them and be separate so I can still engage the culture without the culture engaging me and.

That's all holiness. Holiness is the breastplate of righteousness that we talked about saying I'm gonna live my life a different way. I'm not gonna watch the same things. I'm not gonna consume the same things.

I'm not gonna go to the same places. I'm gonna my life's gonna be a little bit different. Why. Because the light of the world resides in my heart. I'm not gonna put it under a bushel. Oh, no, I'm gonna let it shine right?

Remember that song. There's some truth to that. It's doctrinally correct as well. Holiness. Actually without holiness no one will see the Lord. With that holiness you will not be filled with the Spirit of God and Anytime I speak at a youth events.

This is the biggie for them. It's the most difficult and the most challenging. Right because this one they want to be popular this one to be one. I want to want to be cool. They don't want to upset people.
