Empowering Children: Spiritual Vigilance and Divine Purpose

"now I remember in South Africa and this is the extreme obviously sometimes you'll get a little children that have epileptic fits and then people think that they that they have a demon but they've just grown epilepsy but you'll meet some little children and there's a lot of for father worship there witchcraft is legal in South Africa before our sports matches they'll get witch doctors in suits you to bless the teams they'll up in Parliament with witch doctors they'll get witch doctors for parliamentarians to help them win their court cases and often the witch doctors power is not that powerful and they lose but and but we have a lot of demon worship and the same things you do in Satanism they do in the tribes what you do with the witch doctors they will shed blood and and and give their children over to the spirits and so you'll meet a lot of children that there's something terrifyingly wrong and people will come to you and I'm not a charismatic for demons beyond trees I'm not one of those yeah one of the things you have to realize in the Bible is that Adam lived Eve but Eve blamed who Satan for what she did there's a lot of churches that do that they say I can in adultery but it was the demon on my shoulder and that's not true you committed adultery but um in South Africa I remember and this happens a different time there was a little child that appearance that came to us with this child and the eyes were so glassy and it just set their little little six-year-old eyes just you couldn't see anything as if it wasn't total drugs it was it wasn't there at all and it just it was like this and the parents said that a demon came upon it and and basically it became like this so we pray that's what you do you know the disciples prayed and and then things happen so he prayed and we looked at this child and nothing happened and so I said okay we're gonna have to forced because that's what Jesus said if this kind of come at that not forth but by pre enforcing and so we prayed and we forced the full fides and then the child was prayed for and in one moment that child went from a glassy eyed zombie to little child again and it was precious but the question is a little six-year-old how did a demon get into it and what right has a demon to a six-year-old from a biblical perspective surely Satan doesn't have the right to little children you know in them in India there were times in the past where and should they do but they used to give over their children to temple worship and what is that taking all five mimosa Amy Carmichael used to save children from temple worship but they actually took a video of the little children as their parents gave them over to become child prostitutes and and gave them over to the spirits and you would see little children just like little Glen just like little children that are outside yeah and the little child is excited to treat a child that would climb a tree five six years old and then the parents gave that child over to the spirt in one moment one moment that little Charles innocent face no child is innocent by the way but innocent and relatively speaking became evil and ugly in one moment as those parents gave it over to the spirit" [00:03:15]

"but the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified brother husband else were your children unclean but now are they holy you see there's a prediction and not a perfect protection trust me there's a war on over your souls and over little children's souls but there is something of a protection of godly parents and godly parents can throw that away by what they allow in their house I'm not talking about things by the way titus clearly says we don't get power to demons by things but other thing by the by the things we allowed into our child's life they have a message that can hurt our children and the people and the music and the entertainment we alliant our children's lives and what we do to our children is there's a prediction but it's not a perfect prediction especially in the physical room you know I was preaching and Dundy and I'm not gonna go into little stories because big it wasn't there were demons attacking the person in the bed next to me and again I don't like demons I don't have a demonic ministry in case you heard it and I won't go to all the different things that happen of the dogs that would be scared of the demons and I would literally ask the dog to come to where the demon would appear that no one wanted to go and the dog would run away terrified but remember this church that I preached at there in this town and that at that church there was a little child in Sunday school and the child went missing and they could not find it the church and the police and the community searched for that child for three days and eventually they found the Sunday school child orders left with him then later his body ripped apart the witch doctors it got hold of him and he'd been at Sunday school and it was a godly man that preached there he would wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to seek the Lord to pray for hours he lived in a mud house and he was truly saved and yet in his Sunday school a child Satan got hold of through his evil to to make witch doctors you know how many people have said in front of me and they say when they go to certain witch doctors the witch doctor will say to me they said give me your child so you can carry on stealing let's we'll read in the Bible it was child sacrifice you know in real life and I try to be honest when I won't have without a beard sometimes as far as non-resistance goes but in real life if you look at the history of the general convention and they made some rules they tried to make a few rules that you don't shoot children when you have Wolfie you don't you try to not hurt civilians as best you can when you bomb places and so there's at least some little rules that some countries would they try to keep tune and they try to be held accountable too as far as these things but let me tell you something when it comes to sight and he has pure hatred he does not care at all about anything about you and all he cares to from the beginning is to destroy you and he will touch children whatever he gets the chance there's no Jennifer Convention for him here's the question can Satan get hold of me for my young edges with demonism that's true but I can tell you something else from a young age you can get involved with friends that will teach you to lie to your parents and that you will get bitter about certain things not just because your friends because of other things you'll have a life in the dark you know I remember very much when I went to school boy those kids knew a lot seven years old I didn't know a swear word till the age of ten I went to school when their Bibles on there every destiny is to spank us now that was good it was good to respect other people but even in those days when they spanked us and they taught us to respect all the people the sin that seven year old people knew and they wanted to teach it to us it was a game to Satan it was destruction but to them it was fun and we do things behind the teachers back and we do things behind your parents back and we do things beyond your pastors back and we teach you why it's right and why they legalistic and they stupid there's one preacher in America and I could give a hundred examples of this page I'm not gonna harp on this one point than this women because that's not the point but but this one preacher came to this house and there was a granny and she was so proud of her grandchild and he was visiting and she said this grandchild you know what he does he listens to hymns all the time in his room and he reads his Bible all the time it's just amazing he's this perfect little saint of a grandchild the preacher said that's wonderful you said can I just stay in his room for a little while and she went out and she was just oh my grandchild he went there and he went to whether the record player was with the hymns and he any any any found with the the son came out of the earphones and he found a wire that went around the under the bed and went to another place with another record player that had the rock music they found the other magazines under the bed let me tell you something you can fool man but you cannot fool God you can fool me many people have fooled me you can feel your parents you can feel your posture but you can't fool God but the problem with this is it can stop when your little child unless somebody recently he broke one of my friends hearts when he said you know when I started lying to my parents I've done it ever since and they so stupid little boy cause a little boy you can become bitter at a young age you know I've seen young people and and and the strangest things make them better this one guy I was actually there when when a missionary walked past and he was a little boy and and he used to read seven chapters of the Bible every day and this missionary were upon us and he said you're gonna go bald one day and he walked on and I saw a young man and I was saying that he had any excuse to do this you don't blame God for what other people did you but he became quitter he threw away that Bible and later on I heard him say I wish all men would go to hell and that's what's Donnie some people come with so many little children nowadays in the time we live in become bitter when their parents fight I've seen young people young teenagers young children they hate themselves they hate themselves because of the appearance my parents are fighting it's my fault I hate myself the tears rolled on their faces I've been so many young people who walked up to me and said Roy I don't want to marry one day because I'm just gonna be like my parents and they're not joking they fearful in their thousands little children can have wrong friends proverbs 13 verse 20 he that walketh with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed now foolishness is not not knowing how to make a rocket foolishness is many things if you read proverbs let me encourage you find a good friend part of seeking God before you even say it is find a good friend John Wesley before you were saved and some good friends that helped him get saved later you've been the companion you have to wait till he's saved to get good friends get people who love the Lord not David and Jonathan and people misuses verse in 2 samuel 1 verse 26 we since I love to me was wonderful parts in the love of woman he was talking about before he died obviously but here was a man who loved another man because that man loved God and had faith in God find someone like that to be your friend a humble man his submission Authority will not be stupid like a job as witness never ask questions but submits and a man who loves God and what's a seat guard and once you be used to God and will make mistakes we were gonna do it together for God moody and Tory was like this you can go through history and find so many in the Bible and 2 Samuel 13 verse 3 we find that Emlyn had a friend his name was John a dev you know who John Adair was he was Ellen's cousin David's brother shamea had a few sons many choice if you want to hear a good sermon brotherly I don't know if he can point at these son Ezra is a missionary in South America as a wonderful sermon on em they had a friend I think he preached it there at least the Maranatha a few years back maybe lost your the airport anyway what a lot of people don't realize is that emmalin's friend had a brother you see in the Bible you'll find words like hi and I hae I and High was next to bethlo and I was next to bit on this one little difference in exactly the same place you find the same with Davis brother one of them was Shamir with an h1 that was Samir without an H but is the same person okay and he had a children and one of them was John Adair who encouraged em not to commit adultery to rape basically his sister and the other brother Jimmy his other son was one of david's mighty men he had a choice you could be his friend and he chose the wrong one you have a choice who is your friend let me tell you something the guy plays the guitar the guy's good at sport the guy can teach you how to do things beyond your parents back the guy who's his his cool and and helps into hard times that doesn't matter even if the guy's boring get a guy loves God not just in church but a guy who loves God behind your parents back because that's a true friend" [00:09:53]

"you know it's not a coincidence that straight after Jesus talked against divorce and the New Testament and there are cases with divorce we obviously know where the husband just leaves for another woman or the woman leaves for another man we can't always blame at both parties but but it's no coincidence Jesus spoke against it before just before he said the words in Matthew 19 verse 14 suffer little children to come and to me suffer little children to come unto me you know how many times I've seen people who at least were trying to follow God three or four brothers and then their parents divorced and they were an orphan to the world some of them became sightedness painted that you had a millstone around your neck of your throne in the season that you were stumbling block to one of these little ones that believe in me Jesus Christ said in I've been to schools in South Africa where there's a group of people youngsters of the junior school seven eight nine years old and then we weepy let's see the tears will be rolling down their faces and dripping on the ground for over ten minutes at a time and they're not we're waiting like a baby like I said they're just dropping on the ground and I asked them what's wrong and they'll talk about their parents who's divorced this one no child came to me once to sit Roy pray that my daddy will come back to me is the trip the little tears dripped on the ground seven years old and in high school I'll preach at the genius cone then I'll go to the high school and you can see how they grow up it starts with the broken heart and in the high school it's a hardened heart against God they laugh at me when I preach the gospel when the junior school they cry I remember it at my own school before I was saved I remember there were so many metro men yeah big strong muscular gym guys did sport and played rugby and that's the thing without the helmets and generally they were men so men don't cry and stuff like that but I remember once this one guy we were sitting in a car and he walked past me and he looked at me I'll never forget it and he looked at his friend all these strong guys with good looks and says you're your parents divorced he had tears in his eyes seventeen years old I said yes he says your parents divorced yes him cry is that why is everybody doing this and he walked over and so one guy he was on drugs and he's don't played sport then I got the two together anyway it was a high-flying rugby play but I remember being they were the first I had as well did several sports myself but I remember with first aid there when I was on the field helping the guys you got a lot of blood and stuff I remember this one guy was they're known for years he was horrible to people against on drugs but when he's dead for once was on the side of the field man he was he's dad was there and I just remember him every time he kicked the ball he was 17 18 years old but he was like a little baby couldn't believe that his daddy was there Paulo Corner South Africa Paulo cornice with Africa there was a little child this granny told me the story says my son he was a good guy at XI my daughter my son-in-law and he had a good job and then he turns to drink and he left my daughter and my little grandchild about six years old came into the house and said to me granny I don't believe in God anymore I don't believe in God anymore the granny says why don't you believe in God anymore he says because granny I went in my room and I went on my knees and I cried other guns a God bring daddy back and daddy didn't come back so I don't believe in God anymore there is hope of course it's not all mud and mire and then South Africa I remember once I was at one church and the pastor said to me next door was a guy when we tried to tell him about Jesus he lost at us when we tried to tell him about how he laughs at us he his mother gets brought home it's a white little child just happens to be Caucasian and in Africa um-um whom others brought home drunk almost every day her body is just laid down on the floor there he hates garden he hates Christianity so I went over next door and I saw this child little child on his own no supervision playing in the grass I said hi I said you want to play chess that's the thing I lose it a lot when I play that guy there and and I get this he said yes and I come in the house and I think we had to do it on a computer because we couldn't find a chess board we sat there and played now I put up my Bible to Revelation chapter 20 and I showed him while we were playing chess that there's a great white throne coming and the person is gonna sit in that that's Jesus Christ the one that if we run away from him as Savior down here we're gonna run towards him we are running towards them as God as judge and we're gonna meet in one day and then it won't matter what troubles would be inserted what matter if our parents are won't matter if other people have been horrible to us it won't matter if we've got a nice car a nice job a beautiful girlfriend or if I go for a lift us the only thing that will matter on that day it is my name in that book because if it's not in that book I'm going to the flames of fire for eternity you know what's so wonderful about God through that simple little chess game is yeah it was a boy or refused to listen to anything about God who hated the Gospel message or anything to do with it laughed at Hal this little boy and the next thing he was going to every single message of that church he came to listen to me preached for about four or five days I took one Cheska hearts that are broken wakened by kindness Fanny Crosby said was it hearts that are broken will vibrate once more isn't God good Satan so terrible for its its depressive but how much great is God if Satan can do that imagine what God can do you have to think that way else it's a hopeless war" [00:21:00]

"can you deserve hull at a young age now I've said at the beginning that little babies do not go to hell and we find this in Scripture some people like to go to Joanna for verse 11 and say that God said there's six to school thousand persons that can't discern between their right hand and their left down but I think it's way more clear when you go to David's two children because yeah you have King David he's committed adultery there's a baby that came out of it and he cries and cries and cries until the child dies and suddenly when the child dies in years the body stops crying and and this little baby's dead and they wonder why are you stopping to cry and and and David says um these words he's dead we're for sure life force cannot bring him back again I shall go to him but he shall not return to me and so when this child died he stopped crying because he realized this child is in heaven you know I my wife had a miscarriage years back that little child is in heaven don't you ever think of abortion every little child the one good thing we can get out of bortion is there's millions of little children that are in heaven today it's not that that's no excuse for abortion it's the one good thing we could look at it and be encouraged by we're gonna meet a million po-han Pooh and quite a few million babies up there anyway a slightly grown-up okay sir um when David had a little baby died the little baby said I'm gonna go to that baby one day but when Absalom died he didn't not cry after his death in fact he whipped and whipped and whipped and he said epsilon epsilon my son Abner and would God and to God I died for the Absalom my son my son why did he cry off his death because he realized this rebellious person is going is right now burning in the flames of hell for eternity and he wished that he died in his place but little babies do not go to hell the question comes though we don't know exactly at which age but there comes an age of accountability and which God would judge us for the fact that we go against our conscience if we never had a Bible and even with that Bible would have no important that we we a sin against God that which we know is wrong and even that which we don't know is wrong so at what age can this happen well we read in the Bible 2 Corinthians 21 at 1 verse 2 Kings 21 was one that there was a guy called Manasseh remember Manasseh was one of the twelve tribes who actually was a sub tribe a half and but Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign we don't read anything good of him in fact we just read a little later that he was I did that which is evil in the side of the Lord after the abominations of the heathen you'll come back to me Lolita there's 12 years old now that's just preteen but we read in 2 chronicles 36 verse 9 of another King and his name was direction and he was 8 years old when he began to reign and he reigned 3 months and 10 days in Jerusalem not 50 years and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord is a eight-year-old child that only rains in three months and his evil you can be eight and you can be evil trust me I made some some of them hearted so nice in church at eight years old I'd like to tell little children when we have little children's meaning you know deal moody was amazing because he preached the adults and their thousands but he also preached to little children he started off with the children's ministry before he had an administrators and I think that's why you're such a good preacher to adults because she understood hello children and thought in in Romans 6 verse 23 it says for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord what I like to say to little children is imagine you went to Walmart and South Africa pick and pay or Maccarone I like it and you got to be the person who put the stuff in the bags and after a week of work what would you get you'd get something for what you've done and what would you get for what you've done you get a little money hey well when you do bad stuff you also get something it's called wages for what you've done that's what wages is you get something for what you've done okay so can little children get something for what they've done 2kings Cheevers 23 we read of elijah people saw him tell the story to kids um but I do and I were this little big picture that I like to show them and is this big she-bear because these little children did something very badly they took on a man of God and they mocked him probably that heard from the appearance that you should mock the man of God I don't know and his little children the Bible says mocked Elijah's had got up that bald head gut and pulled it a few times and Elijah he cursed them and the sea bass came out and they ripped those children apart they got something for what they've done at a young age just because they were children didn't mean that they didn't deserve to be punished sounds cruel the truth is the truth when it comes to the Ten Commandments and I show the little children and Tinker Mama's listen you I've done those ones you know those I don't explain exactly what that commandment is there for your local ease and there's some very bad mommies and daddies okay but when it comes down to a few of them even you as a little child you've disobeyed your parents you know I've been amazed at some groups of children I say if you ever disobeyed your parents the whole group says never and I you know the problem is I've been at their house I've seen them never ever Shh well there's another one it's called lying you have lied in your wife the Bible says in the end times will be perilous times 2 Timothy 3 mystery for men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents a little child at some stage can start deserving how her 8 year old can be evil on the side of the Lord I've met people on churches in America and they said oh I hate it when a person says that anything under the age of 13 can go to hell because my children play so innocent like okay revelation 20 I mentioned earlier you see you get something for what you've done and if those little children compare themselves not to hit live with the worst kid in their school they're going to think that they deserve heaven or that they were born a Christian because their parents say so or something those little children need to realize that there's a consequence there's a consequence of your actions you were born a sinner yes but you go to hell for what you've done and you need Jesus little children need to understand that now" [00:28:01]

"can you be saved at a young age well I love that song of Charles Risley gentle Jesus meek and mild look upon this little child suffer my simplicity and that's something that I might come to the contramar the exact words but beautiful you know some of the revivalist understood that little children can come to God and but if you if you know some revivalists from 50 years back some of the greatest preachers the drunkards would get saved they'd pray through the nights they'd read their Bible they seek the Lord in many ways and then they preach and God would come many of them unfortunately believe that little children couldn't get saved and you'd hear this and they sumus and you'd meet the people who became missionaries who got saved through their ministry but somehow they had a blockage and they didn't have perfect theology in other areas and they treated a little children many people many nations of this world would say little children can't get same happen at the age of 12 or something it's impossible and therefore we shouldn't put resources into that children's ministry as a waste and it's pretty stupid anybody does anything like then it's very sad that godly men did them but marked in verse 15 says these words verily I say unto you whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child he shall not enter there and Matthew 19 verse 14 says but jesus said suffer little children forbid them not to come unto me for if such is the children of here and kingdom heaven Ecclesiastes a living mr. 9 rejoice a young man in thy youth and at the heart charity in all the days of thy youth and walk in the ways of your heart was a bit sarcastic on the side of the eyes but know thou that for all these things God will bring me into judgment and Ecclesiastes 12 verse 1 says remember now like creator in the days of thy youth well the evil days come not now the years draw nigh when I should say I have no pleasure in them I just like to quickly give some pointers some pointers one of my grandfather who died of cancer a few years back taught me when I was this didn't save me by the way but it just helped me a little but many people have this problem when you start out you like five years old and and you hear about Hell and you hear about salvation you're uh I'm gonna get saved I don't know what that is so every single night at Fermi for it please lord save me thank you very much please Lord come into my heart Jesus come into my heart next day he said please Jesus come into my heart and the next day said Jesus please come tomorrow and then my grandfather sat me down once and he said this is me by the way you know you don't do it every night so then I didn't get saved at that stage but I realize it's actually supposed to happen and then you carry on but so I prayed and nothing happened and then I prayed again later and nothing happened and there was a reason for that you see it's not this is the second point is not just to escape hell it's very important that we understand and we preach hell because that's why a sin but we have to also realize there's a reason we're going to hell and that's our sin the fact that we've gone our own way that we've done our own thing that we don't love God and the Holy Spirit is to come and start to awaken us to the fact that's to shake us up to the fact that we need Jesus but I many times prayed and never got saved and said and the reason I prayed even with tears of my eyes for Jesus to come into my life to believe in Jesus because I was afraid of Hell but I was not sorry about my son I didn't want a relationship with God all I wanted to was escape hell and I never got saved my one friend was like that he was on drugs for so many years and he heard this movie about how and all he was until Jesus got saved and the next day I was baking drugs many years later you look back as God came to him in his 21st birthday in the midst of the drunkenness and the Holy spirt convicted him and and he was in that drunken party and didn't want any of it anymore and he ran to his sister who was a wonderful Christian and he said so I want to have what you have and he knocked on the and Jesus saved him and he relationship with God and he became a missionary worked with me for over yeah he said you know what was a problem back then the only thing I didn't wanted was not to go to hell I didn't want Jesus truly I said in one of Jesus but I wanted Jesus I didn't go to hell I didn't want Jesus for Jesus I didn't want a relationship with God it's hundreds of thousands on the way to hell I sit in churches and they're not saved and there's no fruit and often it started as a child another point that Jesus is not Priya saves you so many little children comes I don't know how to good say it because I'm not gonna say the right words and you know Satan likes to play with the minds of adults and he plays with the minds of children and so they think well did I say the exact right words you know there were people who came to Jesus in the Bible and there's one lady she didn't even say any words she just ripped came to Jesus feet and Jesus had a cinnamon so many I've forgiven her because she knew that she was a sinner she was sorry about it and she knew the one who as sinners need could meet Jesus Christ it's not your prayer that saves you though you can say a prayer when you're saved there's to be a moment when you look to Jesus and he saves you and then the last points is it's not it's not the end of December in case you're getting encouraged and it's not feelings let's say if you hit that this morning you know I love Spurgeon the old revivalist understood that still moody had whole sections on faith versus feelings so the same elohim bringol soda at Spurgeon was great he would say if you're on that on the ark and you're in this big storm your feelings can go up and down but guess what the reason you're safe is the Ark Jesus Christ is the reason you say if you got a house and you say and you've got the papers all set up to buy a house some of you how many of you bought a house before not me you're bad guys okay so anyway you come to this house and there's some paperwork I don't know how it works in America perhaps you have paperwork and you've got to sign that that form with the lawyers or with some agent or something and then eventually it's that means you own the house that the money goes in their car imagine you were there and you were about to sign it anyway" [00:46:11]

"can you be used of God at a young age this is the last question John we read in John of the feeding of the 5,000 yes a little boy comes to the five barley loaves and the two fishes I heard a song in a charity church in the song wind take these few fish and loaves of bread it's all that I can do but most of all Lord take my life and make me a miracle to this world so full of hungry men I've little left to give could it be I might feed a few by the simple life I live I've never forgot that can God use a little child my friend clean in South America he was in a town called Bethel and South Africa and in this town of Bethel South Africa I met the minister and there was a little child that got saved as you gathered these children together gonna radically say but his father had not been in church for 20 years and the little child was on fire forgot when Humpty's father was basically a drunkard and said it as father I beg you to come to church and that father looked at that little seven-year-old boy and went to church for the first time in 20 years and got radically saved and became a wonderful family man I've seen that from little children sometimes they go home and their father beats the naphtha but children can be used of God maybe you know the story in the old days we've got the New Atheists today we got there were these ways of atheist for the last 200 years and sometimes it'd be a movement with people would actually pay to your atheist preach and then it stopped for a while about 40 years back and then it became again permanent in the days we live in today but in the eighteen hundreds and some of the atheist used to get cross together many times Christians have come to hear a prominent atheist speak and Christian background people and and once this idea stood up with a large crowd and this a theist said things against Jesus Christ that one had died for you and me you know one of those adults did stand up but there was a little child that loved Jesus and this little child walked to the front and though channel got up on that on that stage and a little child or that atheist was renting against the Jesus that died for you and me that little child saying stand up stand up for Jesus his soldiers of the cross and they all started to sing with and had a cioth lift the stage do you see a little child that that do you stand up for Jesus in your workplace when your friends are wanting to watch a movie at the movie house or at home in front of the television do you stand up when people are juanita gossip the Moravian children on the ship got used to inspire me Wesley because they weren't afraid when the storm came and all children and and when he looked at that and he was amazed and that was part of the route that God took him this eventually gets saved by Jesus Christ I mentioned to you before of the little child that when when the father came and said and when the soldiers came and said you'll be and you're gonna die and we're gonna skin your little tower alive if you don't deny Jesus then he said father I would be ashamed of you if you deny Jesus and both of them got killed Jesus was a little child in the temple and God used him and when he was a little baby God used him my mother slaved because of the story of baby Jesus and many others are saved through the story of baby Jesus who was born to die that little child in the Bible the Lord girl who told naman about a prophet in Israel that could that could heal her master because of that little child who was a slave who God used many people had been saved I know druggies you've been saved because of that story I've told that story to druggies and they've been saved and their lives have been totally changed a little child is the reason we have that story so I end off God chose children to fulfill prophecy in Matthew 21 verse 15 you can happen over Bibles there it's the endless women we're going to quickly look at little children and how God use them Matthew 21 was 15 remember when Jesus said suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not it was in one section we see that the disciples didn't want the little children to come to him Christians often think children are not important unfortunately but Matthew 21 is 15 and like I said with any offer this and we find that Jesus is coming to the temple and when it comes to the temple the Massa's crying hosanna in the highest to Jesus Christ the Son of David but in the temple afterwards the little children cried in Matthew 21 is 15 the children were crying the temple saying Hosanna to the son of David and they were sore displeased and Jesus quoted Psalm chapter 8 and he said have you read out of the mouths of babes and sucklings histar perfected praise Psalm 8 actually says out of the mouths of babes and sucklings of the adain strength because of thine enemies that I'm gonna still the enemy in the engine but what's so beautiful is yeah Jesus says little children are going to fulfill the prophecy that proves that I am the one is talking about and Hebrews also quotes from Psalm chapter a little children God chose to confound big adults who thought they were wise see what amazing God can use children but there's another prophecy Matthew 23 verse 39 for us and to you you should not see me henceforth till ye shall say blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord Jesus had just heard the words blessed is he that you're coming the name of the Lord or hosanna in the highest and he said even though you heard that earlier he said I'm you're not gonna hear you're not gonna you're not gonna see me from now onwards until you hear that again and there's a prophecy in Ezekiel 44 verse 1 2 and 3 and other verses where it talks of a gate that will be closed because the Prince of glorious Jesus Christ will go through there and he's the one he's gonna open up the door one day in the future it's gonna be closed until he comes now if you go to Israel today and I have finished my sermon you'll find this one gate that's closed it's this game and the last ones to say hosanna in the highest before last time Jesus walked through that gate in Jerusalem was a gate in Jerusalem was Jesus there was the little children and we're gonna we went a few thousand years before it's gonna happen again those words you know so let's pray and thank you very much father I want to thank you again for the swim in the Gabriel that you gave to Gabriel and all those verses that he quoted and I just asked you to inspire the young people and old people and the middle-aged people and everybody desert to seek Jesus even when they don't have a feeling to seek to seek anyway I pray that you would in this busy life where it's so easy it's so easy to to that verse to be trivialized God was not in all the thoughts that you would be in our thoughts and we think of who you are everything about who you are and we want to study it in the Bible and final heart can be part of our lives every aspect of who you are more and more can become part of our lives to Jesus Christ they will study that word and take time with your word and that we wouldn't as the devil comes to discourage us because we can't learn scriptures like other people or because people do things that can make us better or because and we feel tired at times sick we'll realize do you understand but that you still want us to seek you well I pray concerning children from my heart every young person sitting here there are people sitting here who probably have not seen the power of God they've heard from their parents they've heard it from the pastor they might press it from other people breasts they have parents who are divorced and they bitter about that this there's older people and younger people have led them astray they've got friends that are not good for them and they've made choices that are not good but ultimately they need to meet God with God themselves and they need to seek and follow God themselves and for that I ask you to remind them of these four facts that Satan can get hold of them at a very young age and that they in danger because there's an awful enemy who hates them and wants them for hell for eternity and wants to ruin their lives and wants them keep them from knowing and being used of God before they also let them realize and I pray for every single person yeah that they will realize this consequences for sin even at a young age you can be eight years old and God can call you evil you can be a little child and she beers can rip you out as the wages of your sin and that they desperately like every adult out there need Jesus Christ because you can deserve how at a young age the little babies go to heaven and further if there's anybody suddenly unsay it isit you'll take them like you've taken so many through the years through a little testimony many times and you meet people and they say because Jesus saved them not the message but the Jesus they heard of in the message father work and their lies and make their bid hot and don't let them go until they find thee Satan can work in their life at a young age they can deserve holiday and age they can die and go to hell for eternity at a young age but oh they can be saved at a young age Jesus Christ said suffer little children to come unto me and I pray for every single person you know that they'll realize that to become like little children to be part of the kingdom of God and then simplicity not looking for an amazing feeling not having to pray every day not just because they don't want to go to hell but because they weren't a relationship with God through Jesus Christ they come to Jesus they seek God through Jesus father work and people's lives to realize that can be me - if they don't know Jesus and lettering him a relationship with God if they've just got a false foundation God take away that false foundation let them come to God with nothing but they son and lastly Lord for the old and the young and the middle-aged let them realize they don't have to be like Villa madre or me or Gabriel or anybody out there they can be themselves and lay themself on the altar and be used of God they can bring their few fish and loaves of bread and say God this is what I got my squeaky voice I can't see my memory I struggled to memorize scriptures but God I want to bring my few loaves and fishes of bread I want to be used of God and God I know and I've seen and you're true you love little children you love yous you love teenagers you love twenty yards you love thirty yards you love people old people who come to you and want to be used of God and you want to use them with it's in life and death and so I've got a horse that you'll put into young people year not to react to the church at Wells and the church at Arlington and the fact that this certain preachers in big organizations have sinned in the past but that they'll be proactive to the Bible and excited about the Word of God and in responding to the Word of God and wanting to be used of God in these last days we've got so little time to be used to God and I pray this all dear father that you lives through Jesus Christ and I ask you that you'll do this in Jesus name Amen" [00:59:08]
