Not sure how you follow that, but why don't you step out in the aisle and shake hands with somebody? Tell them it's good to see them in the house of the Lord tonight. See one of our students, tell them how proud you are of them. Shake their hand and we appreciate them representing the school. As you make your way back to your seat, why don't you get out your Bible? We're going to go to the book of Acts. Dive into our sermon tonight. Man, everybody give Brother Nolan a hand. She had a It's the hardest job of the night reading all those names. And next Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. And um I would ask you as a church to to pray for me. I'm uh I won't be here next Sunday. I'll be preaching the first of um either four or five camps that I will do this summer and I'll start on Friday night. and preach Kentucky camp and then move straight from Kentucky to Texas. And I will be back Friday night. But I'll miss Pentecost Sunday um here next Sunday because I'll be with the students there in Kentucky. And um I just figured uh why not go ahead and preach about Pentecost Sunday tonight. Is that all right? Do I have any Pentecostals in the house? Does anybody ever experience the gift of the Holy Ghost? There's the word denominations is nowhere in the Bible. It's one church. Started in one place in an upper room. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all in one accord. That's a musical term. It don't take two notes to make a chord. It takes three. It's not just me and God. It's me, God, and my brother. God's presence is going to fall not just when you are in one accord with God, but you're in one accord with you, God, and your brother. Many of us miss out on the outpouring because we got issues among each other. So, where we get in one accord, can you play me a nice chord? One note out of line would sound very odd. Could you do that? I know it's going to be harmful to your ear, but it's not in harmony. It's not in one accord. We want the day of Pentecost. It requires harmony. All three, me, my brother, and the Lord. It's how it starts. It was fully come because it had already come many times. It was a feast day. They were all in one accord in one place. And here we are tonight. And suddenly, all of a sudden, there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire. And it sat upon each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. And I hope you heard Wednesday night's Bible study about the that the Bible truth about the evidence of the Holy Ghost. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men of all of every nation under heaven. Now when that this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one another, "Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?" Jump down to verse 36. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. When we realize that we were the ones who put him on the cross, we acknowledge the cost of Pentecost. We acknowledge that it's not free. I'm sitting in a room and I'm receiving a gift that I don't deserve. That that's what he say. He says that we have crucified both Lord and Christ. Now, when they heard this, they were pricricked in their hearts. Why? Because when you hear the cost, there's a pricking. There's a moving. There should be at least there's a moving that comes. And and they said, "What are we to do?" They were pricricked in their hearts. They said to Peter and the rest apostles, men, and brethren, "What shall we do?" It should be the same question tonight. Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift." Everybody say that with me. The gift. Well, say it loud. The gift. The gift. The gift of the Holy Ghost. This promise is unto you and your children, all that are a far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, "Save yourselves from this untoward generation." We live in a very untoward generation. And they that gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day were added to them about 3,000 souls, and they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Preach to you very, very quickly. Okay, I'll get to my point tonight and we'll get to the altars. But this is my title tonight. Hopefully it sticks with you, reminds you as you enter the grocery store in the enter the grocery store throughout the rest of your life. But my title is pineapples and Pentecost. Pineapples and Pentecost. Would you lay your Bibles down? Would you lift your hands? And could we just ask the Lord to speak to us tonight? And I feel your presence, Lord, in this place tonight. I thank you for your presence that swept through here. As we begin to worship you, as we begin to exalt your name as the choir sung, Lord, I know that lives have already been touched. There's been tears that have already fell from the eyes of those who were moved by the songs of deliverance and the songs of praise. God, I pray that as we open up your word tonight, as we acknowledge the birth of the church and the gift of the Holy Ghost being poured out, Lord, I pray that you would move on us once again, that you would stir up that gift within us tonight, Lord. That you would refill every person that has it, but feel every person that's never experienced the gift of the Holy Ghost tonight, just like you did on that day of Pentecost. We ask all in your name. And that name that's above every name, we ask it in the name of Jesus. In Jesus name. Would you clap your hands to the Lord before you're seated tonight? May be seated. The pineapple is a very odd fruit. Now, I'm not one. Anybody that knows me knows that when it comes to food, I don't have a very good diet. Um, I I I don't know. I don't care for pineapple. All right. So, anybody This is This is not from my house. I stole this from Sister Alex. They had this at their house. But did you know that this pineapple used to be so expensive and highly sought after that the wealthy and only the dignified kings of its day could obtain one. When pineapples arrived in Europe after Christopher Columbus first discovered them in the New World, people were so intrigued by this fruit. It looked like a pine cone, but it was juicy like an apple. Therefore, they called it the pineapple. It became a symbol of luxury from a land far away, a privilege. There was a point in time when they had a tasting of the pineapple and it would have been a highlight of a person's life. They would have brought it in for the birthday of a king or prince, someone in its day. At its peak, hear me tonight. Don't go running to the Kroger. But at its peak, in today's currency, this pineapple was selling for $8,000, which in that day's currency very few people could have afforded. Instead of eating it, they said they would have placed it on display in the middle of the foyer. As you walked in, you would see this sitting on a table all alone to let you know that whoever whoever inhabited this home had some money. Whoever habited this home had some friends. They were well connected. You didn't just have this pine cone looking apple sitting at your house. This was a very cherished and seemingly pricey item. Now, if if you you can you can even imagine walking into they would walk into parties and people would come to your home just to sit around and stare at a pine. apple. Oo. And odd. Just look at this hairy looking thing that's got these things sticking out. It's got this crown on top. It's just odd as all get out. Hard to believe. It's true. It's hard for us to even fathom this. In fact, I've got a couple pictures. If you go back into European architecture, I want you to look at this. That's not just any building. That is St. Paul's Cathedral in London. On the corner of it to this day, you'll see a gold pineapple. You walk around the gates and each top of the gate has a iron pineapple. Why? It was all put there to establish just how dignified the person was, how uh ho how how amazing the architecture, how prestige it was. And so if you can imagine, and this is just how my brain works as I begin to um read about this pineapple, and I don't recommend that book or article. It's quite boring. But if can you imagine bringing in a king or a queen or someone for the sodto from the 1500s or the 1600s and walking them in to the produce aisle at Kroger? Can you imagine where you get to weigh this by the pound and you may pay, I don't know, $279 for it. Hey, I say that. I don't buy them. So, in today's market, they might be $15. Who knows? But can you imagine walking in and there just being a pile of pineapples over there and they're looking past and thinking, Kroger's got it going on. this place is a little different here. What what what would what would it be like for them to walk in and see us as we've got the I can make sure I'm saying this right. The shakuterie board I've been practicing. Got to realize I'm just a Kathy says I'm just a Georgia redneck. Me to say shuderie is some practice. All right. Can you imagine? They walk in and the head of this thing's chopped off in the middle of the table and it's cut all up into pieces. Got toothpicks stuck in it. People are just walking by. Hey, don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't no don't don't eat that. Can you imagine what it looks like to someone if you could just take a time traveler and pull them back? Why doesn't anybody care about the pineapple anymore? Why aren't they protected or celebrated like they used to? They're so easy to come by. The value has diminished because the advanced steam ships and the development of pineapple plantations made them widely available and they become much less special. And that's the problem with the pineapple. It's easy to take for granted something that there is now a lot of because familiarity breeds contempt. And as the adage goes, it still it still tastes the same. It still looks the same. But the pineapple is one of the world's most glamorous fruits. The pineapple itself has not changed one bit, but our attitude toward it has. It's the same thing that used to be sold for thousands, used to be placed upon pedestals and is still engraved and formed in gold in in architecture. So in the same sense, could I compare the cost of the pineapple to the cost of the gift of the Holy Ghost? What would happen if I brought Peter into our churches today? What would happen if we brought Paul into our churches today? What would happen if we brought the the Elder GT Haywood that Pastor Erikson spoke about a few weeks ago? What what what would happen if we brought the elders that had to travel and walk to the brush harbor that had to stand on sawdust floors and they had to they had to have services for three and four hours just because it took so long to get there and all that it cost them to get and obtain the gospel. What would they think walking into the Kroger of Pentecost? the accessible lives, the easy popular Pentecostal movement today. There will always be, and let me clarify so you kind of understand the age that we live in. There will always be in the religious world an imbalance of spirit and truth. There always will be. The generation that is growing up today may see the counterbalance due to the revival that's happening within our world today and them beginning to see just how far-fetched and how crazy the the issue is with the the identity of male and female. When when my grandfathers were growing up, my grandparents were growing up, everyone dressed modestly. Everyone dressed in a way that pertainth to a man and pertainth to a woman. And that was obvious. Didn't matter the denomination. You walked in, a woman looked like a woman. A man looked like a man. But they were called holy rollers. You didn't dare go in them people crazy. Don't go up in that place. They're hanging from the chandeliers. They're running the aisle. They're jumping up and down. They're lifting their hands and shouting at the preacher while he's preaching. They got drums on the platform. And these people are crazy. That was the balance of the day. They were against the spirit, but they were more conservative in their truth. how we have seen just in my generation the shift to where we have a we have we have churches that claim to have a move of God but have no idea of what a collective conscience of culture of right and wrong a biblically basis of foundation at all and just so we understand tonight that's what culture is culture is a collective conscience of right and wrong. When the body comes together of the believers, they come together and they have a collective conscience of what is right and wrong. And they've decided that we are going to somewhat water down the gospel, but we've got to move with the spirit. And that's what we see in the last days. He says, you're going to to to see these things happen, but you you'll have there'll be no love for the truth. There's this imbalance that takes place. And in the last days, it's going to be hard to decipher what is truly those that are spiritfilled and those that are holy ghost fil. Let's just say it that way. Because we have to understand that there is a cost for the gift. It may freely come to you, but it cost him something. And so I I I would like to portray to you tonight the costly this costly gift just became a common fruit. This costly gift, this weird thing that we didn't really even know what to call it has become this common fruit. I simply want to remind someone tonight that the gift costs something. And unlike the pineapple, who just honestly I don't think it's changed much either, but our view of it has. We serve a God. And brother Wely's already been on the vein and walking right where I was going to because I'm going to quote this verse I don't know how many times tonight. Hebrews 13:8. He's already quoted in in in the in the the worship set tonight. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He's the same and and how he manifested himself. The word is the same. The gift is the same. Pentecost hasn't changed just because it's become more accepted to your generation where the trails have been blazed. Just because you can answer the questions of the cost may it didn't bruise our backs. We didn't take the pain for it. We didn't have to answer all the we didn't have to be the ones that face the criticism of the move of the Holy Ghost and harsh words being thrown at you and being made fun of it. Everybody's having a move of God now. Everybody's got the gift, so to say. And God forbid that it becomes so common that we forget the cost. God forbid that it becomes so common that we just go through the motions and we don't truly treat it like what it is. I just wonder what it would be like to bring some of those elders of the day that were that were made fun of for for dancing and shouting and speaking in an unknown tongue. It was in that day that they said, "Are these not are these people drunk? Are these people crazy?" As pastor said this morning, there's only two crowds. The people getting it and the people making fun of it. The people getting it and the people mocking it. And I ask you, when's the last time that you were identified as somebody who was getting it? Could Could I just ask you that question? When's the last time that they were able to look back at where you tr you you you truly claim to be a descendant of and they they they called them folks are drunk. But oh, no, no, no, no. We've become too dignified. We've learned how to have a common move. And it's just something where, oh well, if I if I feel that and receive that tonight, I I just don't think Paul would have been that way. I don't think Peter, he said, how many times do we see it there? There's just like I speak in tongues more than you. You need to stir up the gift. You need to do this. It's all about the Holy Ghost. And we got the Holy Ghost. We finally get it here in this hinge of the book of Acts. And it's all about the Holy Ghost. We couldn't do it without it. Even with Jesus walking with them, we went full circle from Galilee all the way back to Galilee. Him walking right there with them. They couldn't do it. They still denied him because why? We knew the whole time it's to dwell within us. Pastor Ericson preached about we want the Holy Ghost in us. And so we must always emphasize that's why we're a Pentecostal church. We emphasize the gift of the Holy Ghost. You will never be able to live for God without the spirit of God in you. We are a Pentecostal church. That's right. Can you really see its cost when you didn't pay the ticket? Can you really see its value when you didn't pay the price? Pentecost, notice its word, cost, doesn't happen without a Passover, without a cost of blood. He paid the price. I'll read one passage of scripture that I think depicts it most most clearly that the the prophet Isaiah says in 50 chap uh verse 5 chapter 53 and verse 5. Look at this. You know it. You've read it. We sing about it. He was wounded for our transgressions. That's the price. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes, we are healed. All like sheep have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord had laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed. He was afflicted. He was open. He opened not his mouth. He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before the shears as dumb. He opened not his mouth. Why? Because that's what it costs for you and I to have the gift of the Holy Ghost. I cannot forget. It's not just about me coming to an altar tonight and me just trying to get this feeling, this emotional high, this something to just try try to get me through uh my my conscious of being here. No, I've got to look at the cross. I've got to look at the blood of Jesus Christ. I'm here. And the gift of the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking in other tongues is to remind us that there is a cost. He paid it all. He took care of it all. When I begin to speak in an unknown tongue as the evidence of the Holy Ghost, as the spirit gives me utterance, that is evidence of the price he paid. It's a reminder. It takes us all back that he was beaten. He was bruised. and and and he took all that he took so that you and I could have his spirit inside of us. Do you understand that tonight? It is something that we have to continually go back to. He made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death because he had no vi done no violence. Neither was there deceit in his mouth. He didn't have any ri he he he had no wrong in him. He had no sin in him. He took the price. He took the pain. I think it's become easy for us to take what we've had for some of us perhaps so long we've taken it for granted. It's become just common. Yeah, I go to the Pentecostal church, but do you have that consistent evidence of the Holy Ghost inside of you? When's the last time that you had that evidence? When's the last time that you experienced the power of the Holy Ghost in your life? I'm not here tonight to go through the motions. It cost a lot for us to feel what we feel in this room tonight. I I know I know that's very simple and I know that's very it seems elementary tonight, but I I don't want us to ever forget that what we feel when the choir starts singing. It's not just for me to pick up my feet and clap my hands and wave my hand in the air and I just do a little jig and it feels good. No, it's to remind us that Jesus Christ took a crown of thorns. It's to remind us that he paid it all. It's to remind us that he carried a cross and he got on it. Why? For God so loved the world. He did it for the joy that was set before him that he endured the cross. He took on the shame. That's the cost of the outpouring, the cost of the gift. Just because it didn't cost you anything don't mean we make it common. An outpouring of the Holy Ghost, the evidence, the speaking of of other tongues is something that we must always be cultivating and experiencing, but we can't allow it to become common. to our kids who sit here in this room today, our students who sit there in this room today, when you lift up hands and the spirit of God begins to fall on you, that doesn't come without a price. This is not just another place. This church was bought with a It's not This is not just a place that I come just to make me feel good about, oh, I'm just making my family feel good or I'm making my parents feel good that I'm checking out. No, this place cost him something. This is not somewhere we just gather to see each other. This place cost him his life. He gave everything he gave. That's why it's a non-negotiable. This right here, it cost him something. The gospel, the good news. Yes, it's good news. Yes, I'm happy about it. Yes, I'm joyful about it. But there's a pricking that comes when I I'm reminded that I'm the reason that he took the stripes. I'm the reason that I took the nails. I'm the reason that he had to go through what he went through and he paid it for me. It's a reminder each and every time that we begin to speak in another tongues. I'm thankful for the gift, but it is a reminder of the cost. Take you to a story in Luke 7 and verse 36. And one of the Pharisees desired that he would eat with him. And he went to the Pharisees house and sat down to meet. And behold, a woman in the city which was a sinner. She knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisees house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, stood at his feet behind him, you know the story, and began to wash his feet with her tears and did wipe them with her hairs of her head, kissed his feet, anointed them with ointment. Look at verse number 39. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of a woman this is that touchth him, but she is a sinner." And Jesus answering said unto him, "Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee." And he said, "Master, say on." There was a certain creditor which had two debtors. The one owed 500 p, the other 50. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him the most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, thou hast rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet. You did. And and she's washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. And thou givest me no kiss, but the woman since I have came in has not ceased to kiss my feet, my head with oil, and and and thou didn't didn't anoint, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at me with him began to say within themselves, "Who is this that forgiveth sins also?" And he said, 'Go in peace. I I really want to just take a second here if I could of your time and explain something that takes place. Oh, give me give me give me uh you you four or you you group of guys, give me six or seven of you. Just come here. Whoever whoever feeling froggy tonight, I don't care. Just come on. Six or seven of you who just want to take your chances of maybe getting a girlfriend. Come on up here. Run, run, run, come on. Run, run, run. Let's go. Let's go. I thought you run. You just got medals for running and jumping. Get up here. Just make me a little semicircle. And I need all of you to get down on your stomach. Get on your stomach. On your stomach. Okay. Kind of turn on your side. Turn on your side now. It don't matter. You either or. There you go. Okay. I want you to put your elbow out like this underneath your chin. right now. In the days, I love this. This is so good for me. In the days of gathering together in Simon's house, this is somewhat Some of you guys look like you're posing for a picture, but this is somewhat what it would kind of look like for them to gather around. There was not a table. Just smile. Pastor's taking a picture there. There's not a table for them to gather around. There would have been a little place for them to either, you know, crisscross applesauce like you did in in in in, you know, in preschool or but most of them would would find themselves sitting there and they would partake and drink or whatever, but they would kind of kind of have their theirelves sprawled out, so to say. So if you can imagine if you can imagine press that you're Jesus just for a few minutes. Okay. Here comes a woman walking in who is only there not for the politics Simon not for the party but just because she heard in the streets that somebody was in this place that could change my life. and she decided to bring what was priceless. This this this bottle of oil that there's no telling what it would have cost in her day. She brings it in and she immediately sees. I can imagine she walks up and sees this is the man. I've seen him heal the sick. I've heard the stories. and she sees he's got dirty feet with no access to his hands to kiss or his head to anoint cuz that was the protocol of the party. And see that's what gets me about Simon. It's not that you know I'm not a good party thrower. I'm not you you if you let me throw the party box of pizzas we're going to tear the pizza box apart as plates. You know I don't have to think about plates. We're going we're going to lick our fingers as napkins. Probably got canned drinks. It might not be hot. I mean, it might not be cold. You know, it's just how it is. Now, my wife, she's going to have, you know, seven different forks, balloons, a balloon arch. We're going to have a lot of things. She's a good She's a good party thrower. I'm not, you know, I'm really the one sitting there thinking, "Is whoever we're doing this for worth all this? They're they're not even going to remember this." You know, but Simon's problem here is not that he's trying and not doing well. It's that Simon's not trying at all. He didn't even try. The protocol of the party, and don't forget, Pentecost is a party. The protocol of the party is that when you come in the door, you get your feet washed, you get your hand kissed, and you get anointed. Everybody should have. But Simon throws a party, and it's more about these political Pharisees, these religious folks, than it is about Jesus. But a woman comes in who's in need and she falls down at his feet and she begins to break open what is priceless to her and she gives all she has to just the washing of his feet. I can't kiss his hand, but I'll kiss his feet. I'll dry his feet with my hair. I can Can you see the picture here? This is what drives me crazy. Simon throws a party and it takes somebody to come in off the streets to remind him how he's supposed to treat Jesus. And I'm afraid that too many churches today have become a place where I've had the Holy Ghost since I was seven. That's all well and good, but it takes somebody to come in off the streets and strung out on drugs. Their life's falling apart. They're a mess. that all of a sudden they get down here and they get to worship in the Lord and they get to run in the aisles and they Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kenny's going to spin. He's going to do that. You know why? Cuz he remembers somebody paid a price to bring him out of drugs. Paid a price to bring him out. I don't want somebody off the streets to have to come in to remind me what it cost for my sins. It I I don't know about you, but if you've come in tonight and you hadn't kissed his hand and you haven't anointed his head and you haven't washed his feet, we are missing the party. We are missing the move. He's here right now. Somebody can lift your hands. Somebody can worship him. Somebody can begin to adore him. Somebody can begin to give him what he deserves. Come on. He's worthy. He's worthy. Don't bypass the protocol of this party. He's worthy of praise. He's worthy of praise. He's worthy of all you can give him. Come on, that's it. Somebody lift your voice. Come on, that's it. Somebody lift your voice. Simon, you become too comfortable. You become too comfortable in our padded pews. We become too comfortable in our condition. Every time I come in this place, I got to anoint his head. Kiss his hands. Got to wash his feet. Don't bypass the protocol because Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday, today, and forever more. I feel the Holy Ghost in this place right now. If you lift your hands, the Holy Ghost is here. Wants to touch somebody in this place. Lord, interrupt this service with a woman who's eager. Lord, interrupt this service with Interrupt this service with a young person that just wants to wash your feet. Interrupt this service with somebody that wants to change. I'm just looking for Jesus. I I know there's a lot of dignified Holy Ghost people that's been in this for a long time, but I wish there's somebody with just a moment that would just step past all the things that Oh, I I just I just do this. This is where I sit. This is what No, no, no. I'm here to adore him. I'm here to worship him. I'm here to Come on, Daddy. How long's it been since you showed that family what it is to adore him? What it is to wash his feet? What it is to anoint his head? and cost him something for what you feel right now. Don't take it for granted. How long's it been? How long's it been since you spoke at another tongue? I'm asking every man, woman, boy, and girl. Could we get in one mind? Could we get in one accord? If you don't have the Holy Ghost, you can receive it tonight. But for the majority of this Pentecostal church, I wish we could experience Acts chapter 2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a Russian mighty wind. Where's the sound at? Where's the sound at? Pentecostal church, where's the sound at, young people? Come on. Could I hear the sound of washing his feet? Could I hear the sound? Come on. That's it. Come on. That's it. Just a little. Stir it up. Stir it up. Stir it up. Come on. Don't let somebody come in off the streets that has to adore him. It's not their respons. It's my responsibility. It's my responsibility to do what you're supposed to do. Simon, don't become too comfortable with his presence. Oh, hallelujah. Oh, come on. That's it. Youth group. Come on. That's it. Family. It would be very much in line for you to gather your family up and pray. Pray till you pray in the Holy Ghost. This is not just common. It cost something. It cost us something. It cost us something. This is not just something I got when I was a teenager. I got when I was five. I need the Holy Ghost tonight. We need Pentecost in this place tonight. Come on. That's it. We need a move of God. And I'm asking nobody looking around. Nobody looking around. Find somebody and get in one accord with them. Find somebody and get yolked up with them. Nobody looking around. Everybody, would you be praying right now? Pray till you pray in the Holy Ghost. Help somebody pray till they pray in the Holy Ghost. Young man, find another young man. Young lady, find another young lady. Come on, people of God. This is a Pentecostal church. Come on. That's it, Dad. That's it, Granddad. It's the best thing you can do for your your your child right now. Let them hear you speak. Let them hear you speak in an unknown tongue. Let them see that evidence. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
