The Forgotten Lost Multitudes — David Wilkerson

The Forgotten Lost Multitudes and the Burden for the Lost

The forgotten lost multitudes. The forgotten lost multitudes. Heavenly father I thank you for the word. We thank you for your presence here the manifest presence of Jesus Holy Spirit. Thank you for coming and making him known and real to us.

Now Lord sanctify me to preach this word. Sanctify our ears to hear it. That no one be unmoved or unchanged by what is heard from this pulpit today. Let the glory of the Lord Jesus be upon us. That Christ be exalted and magnified in this church.

Lord we glorify you today. We love your word. Now speak to our hearts in Jesus name. Amen. The forgotten lost multitudes. In our time we've seen rock stars and rock bands come and go. Do you remember.

Antichrist Rock and a Generation in Rebellion

We've seen psychedelic rock punk rock grunge rock. But now we have what is called Antichrist rock. A new group has just come on the scene called Marilyn Manson. They played last night in New Jersey in the arena.

Marilyn Manson is named after Marilyn Monroe and the killer Manson. They feature Antichrist rock. Their latest record is called Antichrist superstar. They tear Bibles apart during their act. They are blatant devil worshippers.

They have announced that so and thousands and thousands of young people now are flocking to hear Marilyn Manson. Antichrist rock is the name of it Antichrist rock. Their lyrics are blasphemous. Their lyrics feature mostly all blasphemous singing and remarks against Christ and God himself.

Now I know that these groups come and go. The Beatles came and go. Remember the Beatles said they're going out last Jesus. Some of you don't know who the Beatles are. Do you. Some of the kids think they're animals.

You see how soon it's forgotten and Marilyn Manson will be forgotten. And somebody listen this tape five ten years. Some kids say Marilyn who. It'll all be over. But folks something has happened and I want to talk to you about it.

Last night in fact Friday night rather they were performing in Washington DC and one of their road group tried to scale a wall and fell to his death. They went right on with their concert. I bring this to your attention because the blasphemous lyrics of Marilyn Manson's become the language now of our young people mostly preteens have the language now of Antichrist.

I don't know if you know what about it or not. I don't know if you've heard or overheard these kids talking on the streets. I listened to a group of preteens. They were 13 14 maybe 15 years of age and preteeners and they were in a group and they raised their voices and they were using four-letter words blankety-blank God.

Blankety-blank Christ. And I listened. I looked at their faces and I saw the anger. I saw the rebellion and I saw the hatred. Antichrist not enough to be anti establishment now not enough to be satisfied with drugs or pot or parties not satisfied to rebel against the government or poverty.

Now it's God and his Christ. An Antichrist spirit gripping our young people our teenagers all over America. It was absolutely blazing Antichrist language that I heard. I saw a picture in a newspaper of a group of young Christians about 1520.

I know it was in New Jersey where it was a group of young people Christian young people demonstrating in front of their arena and I look at that tiny little group of young people standing up for Jesus Christ.

And yet I think of all of the thousands of young people going by mocking and hissing at them and going into this arena and getting high and turned on by Antichrist lyrics in Antichrist music and walking out with such an anger against God anger against Jesus Christ.

And I think of a whole lost generation a generation of teenagers and young people that are lost. If you want to have if you want to cry if you want your heart broken. Go one block from here after the service.

The Lost Generation and the Suffering of the City

Go over to 8th Avenue and 49th Street in the construction site. That fence all around has been painted. They've allowed young people to come in and paint signs all over. Go read it. Don't hit me anymore daddy.

Another one that says my father hitted me and my sister Maria and he didn't know it hurted us but he felt good. Read it don't kill me. We just walk by and look at the sign. I walked by and I cried because this is the next generation.

Beaten slap. Look at this. I don't slap me anymore daddy. Don't hit me don't kill me. That's the new generation. It is coming up. We have lost a whole generation thinks of think of millions of our youth.

Now they're no longer rebelling against society rebelling against God and the things of Christ. I believe that the bloody riots that are coming to New York City and our major cities is going to come from this very group of young people who have been robbed of all of their moral courage.

They have been told that there is no God. We have absolutely legally tried to outlaw God from American society out of our courts out of our schools out of everything and bringing in sexual promiscuity offering kids condoms.

And now what do we have. We have payday. We are reaping it. Now a generation not only not going to church but hating God and hating Christ. And folks bloody revolution is coming at the hands of our young people.

They're going. They're not going to be satisfied when there's unemployment. They're not going to be satisfied to be without their hundred-dollar sneakers. They're not going to be satisfied without their baggy pants and everything that goes with it.

They're going to take it by force. They're going to knock the windows out of our stores are going to burn everything in sight. Something else hit me walking the streets this past week. We're walking up Broadway during rush hour.

And I looked at the faces of people of all nations and all colors. And a thunderclap hit my soul. I said oh god they're lost. They're all lost. They're all going to hell. This is a damn society. You say if they don't they go to church.

Haven't they heard. Oh yes. Many of them have turned on television. They've heard a little bit of Christian television. But you know what they got. They got an abomination from television. Christian television.

They got multi-millionaire preachers who are making multi-multiplied millions of dollars and still begging for money. That is not what I want to see. Representative. My my Christ. That's not the gospel.

There's no conviction in it. There's no power. The sinners laugh at it. They mock at it. You say don't they go to church. Yes Easter and Christmas. And the churches they do go to. Most of them are so dead they can't chase a single demon.

I'm not trying to be facetious folks. But there's no life. There's no conviction. There's no preaching with power. People sit in the congregation totally unmoved. And people don't like to sit here and be convicted and moved by the Holy Ghost.

Usually move to some place where they're comfortable. And we have a whole list of those churches call my office. But every block I walked this past week it hit me again and again. Lord they're lost. They're lost.

They're going to hell. They're going to spend eternity without you. And then I thought here I am. I'm pastoring one of the largest churches in New York and we are winning souls. People are saved here at all times.

I delight in seeing all the people coming to the Lord. But this week on the streets I had to acknowledge before the Lord God. I don't weep like I used to weep when I first came to New York City. I don't weep for the lost.

I don't have your burden anymore like I once had. I thank you what you're doing in the safety of the four walls of Times Square Church. But in my heart I know I don't have the burden I had when I first came here.

I came out of a little country town in Phillipsburg Pennsylvania a town of about twelve fifteen hundred people and I had a little green Chevrolet and I drove to New York City week after week before I moved here full-time.

And I remember what it was like to go into the woods and weep for days and hours before I came to this city brokenhearted before God. I knew what was like to weep all the way to New York City over the steering wheel of that car and I knew what it was to pull off the car and decide because I couldn't take anymore go into the woods and fall on my face and weep for the city.

I know what it was like when we moved to Staten Island and get on the ferry boat every day to go to Brooklyn to our Center and cry and wipe tears. People thought I was crazy people offered to comfort me and soulless me.

But I had the heart of the Lord. And I had a broken spirit. And I wept and I cried. I had a little motor scooter and I scooted all over. Harlem Spanish Harlem black Harlem. I scooted everywhere into the gang hideouts everywhere praying for drug addicts laying my hands on the filthy going into dens weeping and praying for the lost and the dying.

Losing the First Love and the Burden of Evangelism

Now I preach in one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. And now I preach to congregation that's heard some of you heard me for 10 years preaching on every subject possible from the Word of God and I thank God.

I pray every day and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of what he's doing here in New York City. I thank him night and day. I love this congregation and I know this congregation has an intensity for the Lord like I've not seen anywhere in the United States.

And I thank God for you. But I fear that some of you're just like I am. It's been so long since you've wept for the lost. You're able to go to your job. You're able to go to your neighborhood and not even think about it anymore because you're trying just to keep your faith trying to survive in a city that beats you down trying to make a living trying to protect your children.

But the circle that you move in on your job the circle that you move into your family you're no longer broken about it. You're no longer praying about. You don't weep over the lost anymore. In fact sometimes it just gets to you.

If you had your way you might want to escape. A lot of people are doing just that they're running. I thank God for what he's doing in this church. I thank God for those that still have the burden. But I'm talking about those of us including myself.

I'm not here to put you on a guilt trip. I'm here to tell you before all-consuming God the eyes of an all-consuming God and the Holy Ghost that many of us sitting here now are absolutely satisfied to make our way through this city on subways and buses and walk through our neighborhoods and through our buildings and not even think about the salvation of the lost anymore.

And we come here to glorify God and we're satisfied. Jesus told us that his mission on earth was to save the lost. Luke 19 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. The Lord is saying this is why I came.

This is why I was incarnated in human flesh. I came to reach and to save the lost. Then he said that too is your mission the mission of everyone called by his name. Go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

The Great Commission and the Impossible Mission of the Church

Now think of it. Our Lord's speaking to a small band of believers perhaps the same hundred and twenty that went to the upper room and what an impossible task he lays before them. Go into all the world preach the gospel every creature.

Now stop and listen to that a moment. He's saying go to Rome where these proud egotistical Caesar sat on a throne saying there could be no king before me. I'm king of the whole world because Rome ruled the world.

And now Jesus saying you go into Rome and you tell Caesar. You tell the household of Caesar. You tell the Romans there's only one King Jesus. Go to Athens where paganism rules supreme. You preach the Christ is the only way that there are no idols.

There's no other God. You preach God. You preach Christ as King and Lord even in pagan Athens. You go where philosophies and ancient religions and false gods and superstitions rule. And you preach cross of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of Jesus.

You demand of them that they surrender all and follow him. You go to nations where their languages you don't understand nations you've not heard of. You learn their languages and you hold up Christ and preach resurrection.

You hands on the sick. You heal them. You cast out infirmities in the name of Jesus. You go to the very seat of Satan and you preach the power and victory of a risen Savior. Think of it. He's talking to ordinary insignificant untrained men and women.

And when you stop to think of it when Jesus left he put the burden of his whole church the future of church on their shoulders. If the world is to be saved it's going to be because they lay hold of what he said and something's going to happen.

Can you imagine the conversation when Jesus has gone ascended finally into the heavens. Can you imagine a conversation if they made their way back to Jerusalem. Did I hear him right into all the world.

Us. We're penniless. We're the offscouring of the earth. We can't even get to Jericho. We have no money. We have no education. Learn languages. Go to all the world. To the to the eastern nations that we've heard of.

And only the traitors tell us the stories of these heathen tribes. They're speaking then of India and China. You mean we're going to go to the Turks. Those wild mobs have come down over Europe. And we're to go there.

We don't even stand their language. We're to go to Rome. The Romans are beating us and killing us here. What are they going to do when we get. They're doing that to us in Jerusalem. What are they going to do us when we get to Rome.

You think of the absolute impossibilities of a little handful of people. The followers of him are uneducated insignificant. They say you start a revolution. You take the world for me. Amazing. It's a little bond of believers.

Had to be aghast. How could he ask such an impossible thing. How can ordinary insignificant people like us start a revolution. How do we take Christ to a people who killed him. He's despised rejected.

He's the song of drunkards. Do you want to tell me he's king and Lord now while they sing of him in their bars. And today our challenge is just as overwhelming especially here in New York City. The overwhelming challenge to the Church of Jesus Christ in this place.

The Bible tells us that every succeeding generation grows worse and works wax exceedingly more sinful. You think of Rome. You think of Athens. And you think of Nineveh. You think of all of the cities in history.

They had no ungodly filthy television. They had no pornographic movies. They had no pornographic literature. They didn't have computer sex. They didn't have all these exotic sinful lust and temptations that this generation faces.

We face now in America a government who's trying to legally outlaw God. We face a generation now that is greedy for money especially here in Wall Street. We face a media that is absolutely liberal and godless.

We face now a tidal wave of homosexuality. We face a generation that is cursing the Christ that we're supposed to preach. Now folks Times Square Church has been overflowing with people but we're still a small band compared to the 17 million people that live in this great metroplex.

We're a small band even if you consider all the Christians of this city is still an insignificant band. And most of us are insignificant people. I know I am I'm trained. And yet this command is still valid to this small remnant remnant.

The Holy Ghost as the Necessary Power for Mission

First of all we've got to acknowledge that New York is lost. Our country is lost. Our country is going to hell. Say what you will about revival. Say what you will about God moving through the land at the mass of people in America going to hell.

And you know it and I know it. Paul looked over a idolatrous multitude in Athens and his spirit was moved in him. And I've experienced that every time I look out of the city living on a 30th floor next block over here looking over New York City we see the skyline.

We can see all the way down to the Statue of Liberty. And I look over this and I see these buildings I've told you before they look like tombstones to me. Some of them are beautiful buildings but they're full of people are dying going to hell.

And I cry Oh God how do we reach them. How in the world do we make an impact. They're going to hell. And one day we stand before God and we answer for the witness that we were when we were there. But Jesus knew all about these impossibilities these are this these overwhelming oppositions the problems.

He knew what that little band would face. He knew it well. And he knew looking down through history what you and I would face here in New York City all over America around the world. He knew what would happen to this society.

He knew evil men were waxed worse and worse. He knew that there would be a moral landslide. He knew all of this. He knew that the devil be mad and he would spit out of hell a river against the body of Christ.

He knew about this moral landslide that we face. He knew all about it. And this is why Jesus sent them to the upper room. He was telling them. And he's telling us you can't do it unless you're full of the Holy Ghost.

You are absolutely helpless until you're clothed with the Holy Spirit. And behold I send the promise of my father upon you. But Terry in the city of Jerusalem until you be endowed in dude means clothed with you.

Go to Jerusalem. You stay there. Don't move don't evangelize don't strategize don't plan do nothing. Because if you go out the way you are you're gonna follow your face. And this thing will die in just a short time.

God says I know what you face and I'm going to give you a power that's greater than any power in this universe. You'll be able to stand against every king every prince. You'll be able to stand against governments.

You'll be able to stand against demon powers. And the power that's in you is going to be greater than any power in the world. Go and wait for it. Hallelujah. Jesus would have never sent them forth unless he knew that the power he was going to bestow upon them would be more than sufficient to meet every need every opposition.

Pentecost, Boldness, and the Power of the Spirit

And when the Holy Ghost came upon these men now remember these are the same men who when they came to get Jesus ran from a little motley crowd of would-be priests and followers of the priesthood. These men I don't even believe had swords they had sticks.

And these men ran in fear. These are the same men that went fishing because they were afraid to take a stand. And now here they are this timid uneducated untrained insignificant little group of a hundred and twenty people.

The Holy Ghost comes falls upon them closed them baptizes them and suddenly they're fearless. Suddenly they're bold. And suddenly five thousand people are being saved. And suddenly the whole multitudes are afraid of them.

There's a fear of God upon the crowd. Suddenly they're in the temple. And the words that they preached that fell to the ground are now like piercing swords. And people are convicted. And the Holy Ghost is now working and moving and opening hearts.

And the gospel is being preached with power and authority. Why. Because I had the Holy Ghost upon them in them. Suddenly fear came upon every soul. Now folks the best part of all is now they're getting direction explicitly from the Holy Ghost.

They are not mimicking a move. They're not doing a thing. They're making no plans until they get alone with God and fast and pray. And then the word of the Holy Ghost comes. The Holy Ghost not only filled them.

The Holy Ghost began to direct every move. They made every move. The scripture makes that so clear. First of all how do you reach the Gentiles. The Jews were being visited by God. Now the Holy Ghost was moving among the Jews through these spirit-filled men.

How do you reach the Gentiles when Jews weren't even talking to them. Not even the preachers. You didn't even allow a Gentile garment to swish your clothes without going to wash your clothes. You didn't say can't.

You didn't touch a Gentile. And Jesus said to every nation to every person every creature. And how is that going to happen. How are the prejudices. The walls going to come down. Folks the Holy Ghost took over.

The Holy Ghost visits Peter on the mountain on the rooftop. And he says don't you dare call unclean what I've sanctified and what I've cleansed. You go. There's gonna be some men knocking the door in the Gentile.

You go with them and you preach Jesus. The Holy Ghost solved it overnight. The Holy Ghost opened up the Gentile world by speaking. He said it three times. So he made no mistake about it three times. The Holy Ghost spoke to him.

It was direction from the Holy Ghost. Now God's opening my eyes to something. I've been in this city now. This church is 10 years old now. And I'm a burden in my soul like I haven't had a long time. And I'll tell you there's no strategy.

Spirit-Led Ministry Versus Human Strategy

You get together. I see this among ministers. They get together and groups a they say he says go into all the world and preach the gospel. I've heard evangelists and preachers and pastors get up and say all you need is is the mission.

It's there. The command is go go go go get out go to nation go to Africa go to China. Folks if you don't go the upper room first. You better not go until you're full of the Holy Ghost. You better not go.

You have no direction. You have nothing. You have nothing to offer. And we have preachers getting together and they're strategizing. We've got thousands of young preachers sitting at their computers networking with everybody figuring out how to evangelize the world.

Cutest thing I've ever seen. What you get when you strategize without the Holy Ghost. When you try to go out and win the loss without the power of the Holy Ghost. What you get. You get balloons for Jesus.

You get Jesus parades with little caps. Jesus saves. And you know what the crowd said. Yeah Jesus says green stamps. They mark it. They laugh at it. You get the Jesus buttons. You get the big smiley face.

You get these little carnations. You get all of these cute sweet little things trying to win the world. And the devil laughs at it because there's no Holy Ghost. There's no father no conviction. But now listen to what the disciples did as they ministered to the Lord and fasted.

The Holy Ghost said that's 13 to. You don't go said send Barnabas and Paul to the places that I will lead them. So they being sent forth by the Holy Ghost departed. And you know what the Holy Ghost told Paul and Barnaby said first you're going to go to Lucia.

Then you're going to go to Cyprus then Solomon's. You're going to go pathless. You're going to purge up. Then you're going to go to Antioch. And we got the other place where I said no. You're not going to preach there don't say a word.

They're not ready. No Holy Ghost forbid them. They never made a move till they got along with God and they fasted and prayed. So Holy Ghost how do we reach this city which city when where how and by whom.

And the Holy Ghost gave them explicit clear direction. Not a move was made without the direction of the Holy Ghost. And folks how much more do we need that today. How much more in this this society that's many many times more wicked than theirs.

The Spirit's Guidance in Prayer and Soul-Winning

The truth is we don't even know how to pray as we ought let alone evangelize. Didn't he say we don't know how to pray. The Holy Ghost has to come down and teach us by the way folks all of these all of these how-to books on how the secrets of prayer how to prevail and all of these plans and all these concepts and ideas on how to pray don't spend a dime for those books are not going to do you a bit of good unless it's going to tell you that you have to get down allow the Holy Ghost to pray in you and through you.

And that you're going to wait on the Holy Ghost. And you're not gonna make a move. You're not going to say a word. You get up in the morning and you get along with God and you say Holy Ghost come upon me leave me in my circle to whom you will and give me the right words prepare the ground and send me forth under your anointing.

I know a lot of Christians are dissatisfied to have prayer meeting and just pray and pray and pray that they don't expect to ever be called on God to go out and win the lost. That's not enough. I don't care if we become the praying as church in America.

If we don't pray with this view in mind Lord empower us. Why are you empowering us. A lot of people want power only over their sins. We are so focused on our own problems now. And the more we focus on our own problems and forget the world out there the more we're just going to be all wrapped up.

We're going to have meetings where we just share our burdens and our problems. And we try to encourage one another while the whole world is going to hell. God says no that's not enough. And by the way God said if you go out there and get interested in other people's problems yours will pale in significance compared to what you're going to see and hear from others.

No it's not just go. You first go to the upper room. Now when the Holy Ghost is upon you you don't have to strive to weep. You don't have to strive to get the burden of the Lord. Now here's here's something that I'm so glad the Holy Ghost has been teaching me.

And if you don't get anything else out of this message get this because most of you that are hearing me now deep in your heart you want to win souls deep in your heart. You don't want to see your friends and family go to hell.

And some of you may be praying for them right now. And some of you sitting here now you have got somebody in mind that you really desperately want to see saved. And maybe you have to make a confession that I've made here this morning publicly that I don't have that weeping broken spirit.

And I don't have sometimes the direction that that I want to have. And how to evangelize and how to go out. It'd be so easy because I've got an inventive mind and I you talk about plans. When I first came to New York City I had more plans than you can imagine.

Failed Evangelism Schemes and the Call to Yield

I've told about them how I tried to evangelize America. Or Roberts had that great big Land Cruiser. General Motors built it for about a half million dollars. Its side opened up like a clam. It had stage it had loudspeakers.

It looked like a vehicle from Mars. And I saw a picture that he had it down Mexico. I said that's it. That'll that'll win more souls. I got to get that up here. I called all Roberts. He gave it to me.

You brought it up here. It got one mile per gallon of gas tank of about 300 gallons. And I got that and I thought I'm going to do this right. I'm gonna put it right in front of the church down in Brooklyn where they had a great revival 100 years ago.

And I pulled it in front of that church and I opened up that I had a choir and everything and boy the crowd came and went or did was run around looking at that thing. I mean just every direction. They weren't hearing anybody preach or sing truth.

When I finished two people left. I shut it up went home. I said Lord that's not working. Well you know I finally sold it to a man up in Yonkers who charged 50 cents to go through the thing. Tourist attraction.

That's true. So I'll tell you what I need. Street pulpits with with telescopic flagpoles and a speaker in the middle and altar rails. And I announced a big rally at glad tidings tabernacle on 33rd Street and I was going to unveil this.

I'm gonna put 50 to 100 of these out on the streets. The only problem is it got too heavy to carry by the time they're finished it. It was I mean it was half a ton expensive. I could only afford half of one.

What I showed that night was half of it. Embarrassed. I'm the one who invented the flip-top box. In fact the cigarette company finally got it. It's it's a collapsible flip-top box that we invented and it looked like a pack of cigarettes.

And I had five little booklets in there. Chicken. All these famous tracks that I'd written and and I had eight of them in a pack. And you opened it up and you set it on your desk at school and you pass out these look like packs of cigarettes.

And they open this up. What a disaster. I wound up $25 ,000 in debt. And one day I went to prayer laid down said Oh God. You know I have a burden for New York City. I gotta do. What am I gonna do. You know what the Holy Spirit said David.

Stop your foolishness. Stop your planning. You haven't even talked to me about this yet. Now you get a hold of the Holy Ghost now. And you know what came out of that. Get a little flag. Because you have to have a flag over your head and just go out with a little hand microphone and preach Jesus.

Most inexpensive thing I ever. So we started doing that and souls got saved left and right. And the crowds came. Nikki Cruz. All of these people came through all of that. I know what I'm talking about.

The Measure of the Holy Spirit and Faithful Witness

I've been down the road now. Let me speak to this congregation. In closing by the way there's a scripture that has really laid hold of my heart this past week. Galatians don't turn there. But just let me let me quote it to Galatians 3 5.

I can't shake this verse. He that ministers to you the Spirit and works miracles among you. Does he do it by the law or by the hearing of faith. He that ministers to you the word there ministers is major God who measures you the amount of the Holy Ghost the measurement of the Holy Ghost.

And does miracles among you. How does he do it. Now look at me folks. You know that it's going to take the Holy Ghost. And I know it's going to take the Holy Ghost. It's going to take his guidance. If you want to take people fasting and praying and asking God how to reach your circle.

You're only responsible for your circle. God's not going to put the burden of somebody in China on you when you're not even touching your circle. Your circle includes your family those you work with those that you know.

You begin there. You begin to ask God to convict them. You begin to ask God how to reach them and let the Holy Ghost speak to you and empower you. And until you're willing to get busy in your circle you don't have anything else to think about.

Now he that measures you the Holy Ghost. And Jesus is the only one who got the Holy Ghost without measure. He had the fullness of the Holy Ghost came upon him. You and I have measurements of the Holy Spirit.

He measures. God measures him out. Now folks there are measurements. There are some in the Old Testament that were full of the Holy Ghost. It was measured out to them godly giants. And even today there's some of you have a bit of the Holy Spirit.

You you you do not have a fullness of the Holy Spirit. And he said he gives it only those who ask. And he gives them to those who ask in faith. My prayer every day for this church and for me as an individual.

Oh God I want a greater measure of your Holy Ghost. I want to be full of the Holy Ghost. I want nothing that would hinder the flowing or your ability or your desire Lord to give me more of the Holy Ghost more of the Holy Spirit.

You see you don't have been to strive to weep because the Holy Ghost is the one who does the weeping. You don't have to strive for the burden because he comes and abides with the burden. He has the heart and the mind of the father.

And all the burden all the weeping all of that comes through the ministry of the Holy Spirit in us so that there is no condemnation. There's no guilt. It's a matter of seeking the Holy Ghost with all my heart in faith.

And that's why I'm at right now. I am NOT under condemnation because I don't weep like I used to weep. I don't. I am NOT trying to invent a burden of the Lord. I'm not trying to work it up. I'm saying Holy Ghost you have it all it is in you.

You know the mind you you know everybody in this city that's under conviction because you're the one who convicts them. You know everyone that is ready. You know every tear that's being shed in the quiet of the night in this city.

You know everyone that's desperate or in my circle. Oh God if you know Holy Ghost who they are and I'm full of you. You leave me. I'm just a vessel. I'm a vessel. I'm an instrument. Oh I see people Christians everywhere trying to work up a burden trying to squeeze out a tear or two.

That's all flesh. That's not going to stand before God. No it's a matter of going to say God. I don't have it but I know where to get it. I know Holy Ghost that you have it. And I've been told that the Holy Ghost is given to those who ask and he's given in greater measure if you keep asking and I'm going to ask and ask and believe until I'm full of the Holy Ghost.

Some people think because you talk in tongues you're full of the Holy Ghost. No way. No way. That doesn't mean you're full of the Holy Ghost. It means the Holy Ghost has begun to work in you. He's trying to empower you for one reason.
