Do Not Despise Your Youth

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

We adult see that.

We can see whether a young person is he's got

a special It's totally different. It's on fire for God.

We can see what we can see. Here's a million

times better than your dad, maybe a billion times. It

cannot be counted.

There's always close, shut.

So tight.

Now as it opens the scripture mixer, let no one

despise your youth.

Now this is for young people. And again the writer

he's so confident with young people not being left out,

but even they themselves can be example. If you look

at it, you realize why word is number one, Why

conduct is number two, Why in love is number three.

I studied it when I was trying to talk to

a girl of youth, you know, maybe many many years

ago now, and it lot says, do you know the

word is the first thing that gives your age away.

You come in full suit like elder Terrans beautiful. You look,

you look like a beautiful man who just overcame COVID. Yeah,

and he could look. He could look at certain age

until he opens his mouth and then you go like

I think his traveler because your word, no, young people

always their word is good. This is what word. So

we can have young people even in this room who

doesn't have to speak like ordinary young people. They speak well,

they speak caringly, lovingly, honorably, respectfully, but all the other

things they just speak.

Of that word.

They are the ordinary teenagers.

I'm not.

When I was fifteen, I gave my life to Jesus.

When I was seventeen, I heard from the Lord for

the very first time, very clearly, a man who was

wanting to jump out of his hotel window in holiday Inn.

I was seventeen. This man was from Philippines. He sang

in the pubs. His friend brought him because this man

couldn't sleep for two weeks, so by the second week

he was a zombie, totally a zombie.

Didn't sleep for two weeks. All he wants to do

is find a window, open it.

And a friend, by the grace of God, pulled him

back about five six times already. And so the end

up in my father's office, and my father called my

homes leader. My homes leader at that time was probably

in his sixties. I was seventeen. The homes healer called

me of all people. My homes hen called me. You know,

just two years or chrecent, maybe you saw something and

we adult see that. We can see whether a young

person is he's got a special it's totally different. It's

on fire for God. We can see what we can see.

And so he called me. He says, Kenny calls me, Kenny, Kenny,

your dad just caught me. And someone needs deliverance, needs

to cast out the demon from this man because he

hasn't been sleeping for two weeks, that the devil must

be disturbing his mind. So I said, why the where

did my homes leader call me? All right, he's got

assistant leaders, he's got all that called me. Can I

pick you up? I say, okay, I put down the phone.

At seventeen years old, I got down on my knees.

I said, Lord, I don't know why I'm going on

what I'm doing, but if you have anything that I

can offer, please tell me. And the Lord dropped something

in my spirit. He says something, But you know, I

didn't even know it was a lot. He says, you

know how he drops just so he but the homes

leader can pick me up. We went to my father's

office when I walked in. I looked at I took

one look at this his Filipino band boy. I took

one look at his face, and he looked like the

walking day. Now, okay, two weeks, no step, just totally pale,

and there's deadness in his eyes.

He can look at you and not look at you.

A bit scary.

So we sat down around the table and my dad said,

for the last two hours of waiting, I've been giving

him all the scriptures.

Hopefully he will step out.

Brother Shiping, brother Siping was homested a bright Sipping, you

take over. So Brother Sipping says, brother and his sons,

minister wonderful, wonderful, wonderful words, wow words, and all of us,

we who would have been encouraged except his man. He's

just like a zombie and Jesus loves you and he

died for your sains. No in mind is just I

want to die. I want to die. And so we

couldn't couldn't get through for an hour, and I think

to end it all nicely, we say, let's pray, right,

So before my father had Uncle Siping pray, I said, oh,

I tell you what I felt like a fly on

the wall. I fled. I felt like, you know, to

be seen not heard, seventeen years old? What can I do?

Two men, including the Home leader, has already spoken, preach

the gospel really twice over, and then this Holy spirit

just began to stir up within me. Seventeen year stir

up within me, Kenneth, I gave you something right before

you came speak up now, And so I said that

that was about to say. My hands were about really that. Yes, son,

I can I say something?

Sure?

I guess I feel it was like, oh, yeah, yeah, Kenneth.

I didn't know he was hoping that I would say

something now, because he said to me later, I've always

seen you as a very extraordinary teen. I didn't think so,

but sometimes people can see it, as I said, they

can see.

And so I said, I asked the question.

I said, sir, how's your relationship with your father? I

didn't give you any scripture, all the scriptures given a day,

I just said, how's the relationship with your father? Within

thirty seconds, he burst into tears that he cried, couldn't

answer me, couldn't answer us. And then we went on

that road because we saw the Lord opened that door

and he didn't have a good father, who when he

brought back seven a's still asked why no eight a's.

Who just I mean, maybe he.

Had a father with high, high, high expectations and would

hit him for no reason. And he had such a

hatred for his dad. Right, and now you tell him

that God is your father, and the only picture he

has in his mind is a bad father, and father

equals cruel. And then we said your father, no matter

what happened, God is not like that. The ministry went

on for about half an hour, but straight to the

heart of who father God really is. He's a million

times better than your dad, maybe a billion times. He

cannot be counted.

He's too good. He gave his only big godon son.

Then you start ministring with all the other scriptures. Now

I can't entered it because there.

Was a door that was always close shut so tight.

Now as he opens, the scripture makes sense. And the

guy got back to the hotel those days no handful.

No guy got back to the hotel and said, caught

my father and said, Mike, I want to tell you

that as soon as we got into the taxi, this

man who didn't sleep for two weeks, slept like a

baby all the way to the hotel and he still

sleep picked. I had to wake him up getting back

to the hotel room, and he continues sleeping. I think

he was making up for two weeks, and here he

chose to live hisself. I want to tell you that

God can use any one of us, and maybe just

for that last five minutes is for the teens, say,

because our teens are very special to us, and I

know that's just you do. Just don't come to a

place where you're hearing the lie of the enemy that

it can't be possible.

It's possible, all right.

So word, word, word, because word usually is the first

thing that gives your age away. And then the conduct,

and then love. Love, Why love? Because love always thinks

about other people, But teenagers always think about themselves if

they are not in the lot.

Oh that why so long? One'll go back?

It's always them, Hey mom?

Why always demon so long? Why hungry?

They don't hardly think about other people. I'm not talking

about a youth, a youth by youth in general. And

so that's why he says, can you, young people be

an example in love?
