Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
These signs shall follow them that believe
- He opens by reading the promise entire: in my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
- The signs are not chased after; they follow those who believe, and by the power of the Holy Ghost the sick are healed and devils are cast out through the hands of believers.
- Jesus' word to a desperate father is woven into the charge: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Scriptures: Mark 16:17-18; Mark (book-only, as spoken)
A church the world cannot deny
- He announces his subject: a church the world cannot deny — not another program or another young person playing a role, but a young person divinely anointed by the gift of the Holy Ghost.
- Acts 2 is read entire: they were all with one accord in one place, the sound came from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, tongues of fire sat upon each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.
- To the amazed spectators and the mockers Peter answers for the church: this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.
- He tells the students the fire is not to be any less in them than it was on the day of Pentecost, and that greater works than these are for their generation.
Scriptures: Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:12-16
The miracle-working church
- He tells of a couple who came to his church out of a strict background, were told they would live under a curse for leaving, and then faced a cancer diagnosis that gave her six months to live.
- His pastor spoke a word of faith over her — you shall not die — and after repeated scans the doctors could find no cancer in her body.
- The couple has since baptized their first family, and many from their old congregation have found the church.
- Jesus' commission is designated and read: as you go, preach, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand; heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils.
- Peter at the gate is retold as the pattern for the students: such as I have, give I thee — give it back to your generation, your school, and your family.
Scriptures: Matthew 10:7-8
Holy Spirit, set on me
- The whole sermon keeps returning to one cry: Holy Spirit, set on me — a fire that makes believers unashamed to worship, dance, and shout.
- He declares war over every devil hindering the students and their families, and speaks the word of faith for healing over sickness in the room.
- He closes by inviting any who have not received the gift of the Holy Ghost to lift their hands, praying that the Holy Ghost would set on them.

your hands you're going to see miracles signs and wonders come on it's by the hands of young men and young ladies in this room tonight that God is going to usher in this end time Revival I believe tonight I'm talking to a group of students that are full of untapped potential I believe tonight that I'm talking to a group of students that God is wanting to pour out a day of Pentecost anointing on your life he's wanting to pour something into you tonight that you can take into all of the world he's wanting to pour something into you tonight that's bigger than a stage that's bigger than an opportunity but God's wanting to do something in the young people of this generation that we've never seen before it's not the will of God for this fire to be any less than it was on the day of Pentecost but I believe I'm looking in the eyes of some young people who's going to do Greater Works than these Greater Works than these shall you do if you believe that why don't you clap your hands come on young person why don't you lift your voice we're not here to go through the motions we're not here to just be Spectators but every one of you under the sound of my voice God's wanting to raise you up and use you for this hour Hallelujah somebody shout hallelujah I feel an unction of the Holy Ghost right now I feel like God's wanting to do something bigger than my message I feel like God's wanting to do something in a young person's life that that's not out of the ordinary sometimes you got to do something that you've never done if you want to get something that you've never got I believe under the sound of my voice that there's going to be missionaries and evangelists at this Tri-State District youth retreat where you're going to hear the call of God and you're going to answer it tonight Hallelujah Acts chapter 2 we're going to go to my favorite place in the Bible we're going to go to where that Holy Spirit fell anybody fill the holy ghost in the house tonight acts chap 2 veres 1-4 the Bible says and when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one Accord in one place that's us here tonight and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared under them clothing tongues like as a fire I just want to pause right here and say when the Holy Ghost really gets to moveing you're going to see the side effect of a fire touch your body touch your spirit touch your tongue come on does anybody in the room have Holy Ghost Fire I don't believe in a watered down religion I don't believe in watered down church but in this last day I'm talking right now in the name of Jesus God's what to pour a fire on this house what's the scripture say go ahead young person and lift your voice it says there appeared unto them clothing tongues like as a fire and it set upon each of them I'm just going to give you about 10 seconds right now if you want to let that Holy Ghost sit on you you you have a free license to lift your voice I know you've been touched by the Goosebump of a song I know you've been moved by the notes on a keyboard but will you let the Holy Ghost set on you right now lift up your voice young man of God lift up your voice young woman of God let it sit on you tonight and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost somebody shout the Holy Ghost and they began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance how many still believe that message let's go down to verse 12 and all the spectators they were amazed and were in doubt saying one to another what meanest this others mocking said these men are full of new wine but Peter standing up with the 11 he lifted up his voice and said unto them ye men of Judea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem be this known unto you and hearken unto my words for these are not drunken as ye suppose seeing but it's the third hour of the day but this is that which was spoken I said the Holy Ghost in this room is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel it was prophesied long before we got here it was prophesied long before we filled out stadiums it was prophesied long ago that young men young ladies this entire movement would be filled with the Holy Ghost anybody got the holy ghost in the house oh yeah you may be seated tonight I'm going to preach to you from this subject a church the world cannot deny this world is not in need of another program this world is not in need of other young person just playing a role but what this world is in need of desperate need of is a church that's divine pH uh facilitated a young person that is divinely Anointed by the gift of the Holy Ghost this gift is greater than any Talent you can play with your fingers this gift is greater than any ability on a basketball CT brother Nolan it's the gift of the Holy Ghost it's what will change your friends it's what will pull your drug addicted family out of hell what this world needs in 2024 is for a tri stake District youth to get so sick and tired of going through the motions that they say on a Friday night at 8:44 p.m. Holy Ghost set on me Holy Ghost set on me there's no better place that I could be there's no place that I would rather go I want that Holy Ghost to sit on me we need another acts 238 in 2024 we need a touch from heaven we need a Divine Move of the Holy Ghost and let me just tell you right now that God thought it not wrong he decided that a long time ago that it was by the foolishness of preaching that he was going to save Souls so it's not in my sophistication tonight but no matter what I do as the preacher I'll always be the fool young person stop worrying about how you look stop worrying about how you sound and just get crazy for Jesus it's time to get crazy about your faith it's time to get crazy in your worship they can get a little hand rais anywhere but where's the apostolics that'll dance and Shout in tongues where's the apostolic that's unashamed oh yeah yeah come on lift your voice right now we've always been The Crazy Ones from the very beginning they said these men are drunk when's the last time that you were drunk in the Holy Ghost when's the last time that you got outside of your clean cut suit and time I remember the days of old Pastor Carpenter when my late grandmother sister Reinhard she would get to singing on a Sunday night Wednesday night Tri State youth retreat it didn't matter she was the same worshipper when nobody was there and when she was in front of thousands that'll preach right there won't it young person but she' get to singing and she would get to waving those feeble hands and we could have been in the most dead and dry service that you have ever seen But when that woman of God said I'm going to let the Holy Ghost set on me something begin to shake the foundations of our very Church Church begin to Quake at the worship of a woman of God it wasn't pretty it wasn't the prettiest song you had ever heard it wasn't in the perfect key but I'm telling you it got Heaven's attention it got Heaven's attention and I'm going to tell you right now young man if you'll get crazy in your worship uh if you'll get crazy in your praise you're going to grab a hold of the attention of Heaven you might not get the opportunity next year but I'm telling you Heaven is looking for those that it can pour it out on set on us tonight Jesus We're The Crazy Ones tell your neighbor we're crazy you ashamed about it it's our identity but when I think of the goodness of Jesus when I think about who David IV is supposed to be Pastor Nolan acted like I should be in the NBA but I want to let you know I should be on the street doing drugs tonight I should be roam in the city of Dayton Ohio looking for my next high but something got a hold of me a fire got a to me and I was 14 years old and I said God I want you more than I want that girl I said God I want you more than I want that trophy I want you to sit on me God I said I want you to set on me there's a breaking in this room right now you're waiting for me to preach I've already told you everything you need to know Holy Spirit set on me Holy Spirit set on me right now you could be seated it was a group of men and women who the world looked at and mocked saying they're drunk these people are crazy it was some of the grandmas and grandpas in the house tonight who knew what it meant to pray all night and to dance dance dance dance dance dance dance all night come on Young Generation you might have a shortcut to everything else in life but if you want the Holy Spirit to set on you so that miracles signs and wonders begin to flow through your fingertips it ain't going to happen in 5 seconds but you're going to have to say holy spirit on somebody shout set on me I still remember those days you know I'm G to take a poll don't be embarrassed you're not in trouble okay who in this service students have been in a service where you've seen somebody holy roll on the floor would you raise your hand I thank God for that cuz that's more than I was expecting over half of you have seen somebody get on the floor and start rolling well that's just foolish pentec man that's crazy you don't see very many reals Pastor Nolan of the media team posting somebody rolling on the floor like they're on fire but I would submit to you tonight they've tapped into a fire we are yet to see I want the fire to be so hot on my back that I can't stand it I've got to roll I got to stop drop and roll in the house tonight I'm telling you there's something that God's wanting to do in this earth in this group of young people we got to be crazier than they've ever been before we've got to be willing to worship and dance like we've never been willing to do before I would to God that there was a young person who ain't afraid to run the a come on young person you ought to run for the Lord come on run like you're trying to win the race run like there's a fire on your back run where's Luke at sister Elena let my baby boy run I said there's a fire right now lift your hand young man come on young lady now lift that voice let the Holy Ghost Holy Ghost flow through me right now Luke Luke Ivy take a laugh in Jesus name young man you better run while the fire's burn you better run while the fire's hot what are you waiting on what are you waiting on I'm telling you God's wanting to work miracles signs and wonders at your hands why do you think he's letting you feel what you're feeling right now it's not so you can go home and fall to Giants but God's wanting to do some things in you so big and so great that you're going to have to have faith in order for it to happen how many know that the power of life and death is in the tongue I want every young person I feel this in the Holy Ghost I want every young person right now to say your name say it out loud and I want you to say will perform miracles in Jesus name I'm telling you there's a prophetic vein right now that if you'll be willing to give God your everything he's going to be willing to at least pour something in you well I'm not worthy brother Ivy you're speaking death to that prophecy I'm going to tell you right now that by the power and the blood of Jesus Christ he can redeem you and he is willing he is able he desires to use you I rebuke and take authority over every lie of Hell come on right now when you receive the Holy Ghost you were given authority to bind and loose come on you need to bind that Spirit of depression I'm not just talking to a young person Pastor you better bind that spirit that says I'll never grow p 100 in the name of Jesus there's a holy sitting down in this room come on go ahead and pray for 60 seconds and let the Holy Ghost set on you come on close your eyes lift your head I prophesy over every Ministry that the devil said was over I declare right now there is freedom in Jesus Jesus and his freedom has set you free really indeed it's done Holy Spirit fall I need an organist or a Pianist to come up here cuz we're about to let the Holy Ghost blow the roof off of mville Tennessee don't worry about the preacher up here I give you free license to let the Holy Ghost move on you right now young man if you want to run and you want to dance you go right ahead these signs shall follow them that believe uh it's in the name of Jesus in my name you're going to cast out devils in my name you're going to pray for the sick and they shall recover our praise is indicative of how close we are to the fire I said young man if you want to declare to Hell tonight that you're on the winning side that you've touched a fire of an altar you ought to praise like it's true come on why don't you shake yourself for a second come on why don't you get loose in the Holy Ghost for a second let it set on me right now come on I declare with my worship that every giant of social media is going to fall I declare there with my praise right now that Miracle signs and wonders are going to be wrought by my hands I declare it I declare it oh yeah somebody shout yes I want to tell you a story come on now I'm G to skip it all snap family in the back would you wave your hand everybody turn around wave right wait it's real big I want to tell you the story about brother and sister snap you ready this is the holy ghost that we're talking about here the snaps grew up in a very strict Holiness Church of God movement and I'll tell you what they just drove here today like four hours ago just said hey we're coming to Rejoice for what God's done God's going to bless you for being here after many years of abuse and they gave me the license to say all of this fear-mongering and fear from leaders who ruled by threat and punishment or public embarrassment this church family finally found our church in little Sydney Ohio okay they were told because they had left their church that they would have death come to them they were told that their entire family would live live under a curse and everyone associated with them would burn in hell come on don't get quiet on me now having trusted these people their whole lives the snaps were fearful that these things would come true but they knew something in that fire was pulling on them to Sydney Ohio but here's where the faith gets tested Young person sure enough shortly after coming to our church in May of 2023 sister snap was having chest pains and she went to the doctor to find out that she had cancer in her lungs and a tumor wrapping around her heart and spine would you show that picture up on the billboard for us this is her lung and the white underneath the rib cage and would you show the next photo this was the MK that was in her spine reaching to her from her heart all the way to her spine she received text messages when her family and old friends had learned that she had been diagnosed with cancer she received text messages that said this is your punishment for going to those tongue talking devil worshippers my god sister snap was given six months to live if she was lucky and in the midst of an evil report my pastor Pastor Mark Hina he spoke a word Word of Faith to that family and he said sister you shall not die she has to admit this was hard to believe because in their entire life at that church every Sunday Wednesday Friday every time the doors were there open they had to be there they didn't have a choice but their entire life in that church never once did they see a miracle so when you get a diagnosis that says you only have 6 months to live and you've never seen a miracle things are starting to shake but I'm telling you tonight that we serve a god of Holy Fire she went to the doctors to get some additional Imaging the doctor said hey sis we have to do that test again I need you to go over to this machine right over here Pastor Nolan they took some more scans said I'm sorry we need you to go to Ohio State Eastern University campus I need you to take some more images over there they took over 300 images of her body show them the screen production there's no cancer listen to me the Bible says that David danced it doesn't say that he jumped you ought to dance right now come on you want to dance like you know The Miracle Worker sister snap they just baptized their first family on Sunday and there's over a hundred there's reports of over 100 people from that congregation who have found a church in a God that they cannot to die I'm telling you you serve The Miracle Worker now we can shout all day long for sister snap's miracle and we ain't done if you ain't gotten nothing to dance for you ought to dance for the next few minutes over the fact that she drove 5 hours just to be here to give her testimony that's it Luke take a lap but here's what I want to tell you young person it's not the will of God for you to only hear about miracles God's wanting to do them through you in this hour you know that the apostles were to believe the disciples were believed to be in their upper teens and early 20s and that reminds me of the story when Peter went to the gate beautiful and there was a lame man laying there and Peter's just a teenage boy and he says look I don't have all the decrees I don't don't have all the qualification but I do have the Holy Ghost and such as I have give I Thee in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk I'm trying to give you a cue right now young man use your voice there's life in it daddy's coming home don't you dare talk in English lift your voice in tongues right now
