Read Luke 5:1-2  I feel the spirit of the Lord leading me to share this message with you today. I know I will be speaking to the young people, however I feel that you as parents and the older generation can beifit from this word as well. I want the young people to pay close attention to what is being said. As the Lord has laid somethings on my heart. I want to share with you the one that has troubled  me the most. And this is it: In todays society, society has a way of shutting out our youth-pushing them aside. In todays society, in most homes it takes both parents working to make it. Which leaves little time for the children. And becouse of this, we are not able to spend the amount of time we need to spend with our children. And many of Americas children are being lost along the wayside, becouse of feeling rejected, left out, and ignored by society/and or family. I went to the High school to pick up my daughter one afternoon, and I have never seen so many depressed,  and opressed children in all my life. I want to say to you church going ,bible beliving christian young people, THIS SHOULD BE YOUR PLATFORM TO SHARE GODS WORD. DO NOT BE ASHAMED TO TELL IT AND SPREAD IT. These are your friends, your peers, and your classmates. YOU CAN REACH THEM where most of us parents cant get into the schools to do it. You can change a life. These children, your classmates, your friends and peers, are depressed and opressed becouse they feel like FAILURES- failures at home, failures at school, failures in society- and many of them are turning to drugs, alcohol, protistution and pornogrophy. I dont have time to share all the statistics with you but I will share this: 14.8% of high school students made a plane to commit suicide, 9.5% were hurt as a result of dating violence, an estimated 8.1 million(3.6%) of americans 12 or older tried "Ecstasy", just among high scool children(9-12 grades) 47.8% has done Marijuana,7.8% cocaine, 1.7% herion and 57.2% tried tobacco at least once.One of every 3 girls has had sex by age 16, 2 ot of 3 by age 18. Two of 3 boys have hade sex by age 18. Fewer than half of high school students have had sex. 1000 high school students were surveyed across America and 30 out or 1000 have reported that they are members of an accult, while 540 of 1000 reported being contacted by an acult leader. WE are loosing our YOUTH to the spirit of FAILURE. This spirit has gotten into our school systems and our children are getting in trouble and going to jail, getting pregnant befor they even get out of school. Its all the result of feeling like failures and feeling like nobody cares. I want to say!!!!!! " THE DEVIL IS A LIE!!!!!!" Its time we take our young people back. Its time we stand in our homes as parents and in the schools as christian young people and say "DEVIL YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN, YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY FRIENDS"  Jesus said in his word suffer not the little children. I am telling you today, Even if you have to go to the gates of hell and pull them out WE CAN NOT LET THE DEVIL HAVE THEM.

I want you to understand this, God has got an agenda for your life. It does not matter how old you are or how young you are. You have a purpose for being placed on this earth. In Gods eyes, there is NO such thing is an oops baby. Wheither you were born from an sinful act between two people or you were born in a family with both parents present, GOD HAS GOT A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE and HE WILL AND CAN USE YOU. Do not let anybody tell you any different. You have a calling, and a destiney for your life. Thats why the devil is terrified of you cause he knows your potential that you have in God. So hes going to do everything he can and throw traps, obsticals, hurdles and everything he can at you to deture your purpose in God. Thats why I want to tell you this "DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME IN FEAR OF HIM, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME IN BONDAGE TO HIM" hes more scarred of you, than you could ever be of him. Now tell yourself I AM A CHILD OF GOD. The devil dont care how much you shout or sing.He dont care how many youth camps you go to or how many scriptures you read. As long as when your through you are still depressed and opressed, sad and have no confadence in your self and you still feel like a failure. The devil wants to destory you. In fact the Bible says he comes to kill, still and destory. Thats why suicide is the third leading death among teens. Couse the devil has rob them of there peace and joy. And made them feel like failures. He has sent out demonic forces to kill our youth. And if he kills our youth, he kills our future Prophets,preachers, teachers, missionaries, pastors, lay workers etc..... There are some young people right now that the devil is whispering in your ear-you cant be saved-you cant make it- your a failure in your home, your school, your relationships, your just an all around failure. And he has told you this so much that you have started beliving it. Thats why you never finish what you start, cause you think your a failure any way. I am here to tell you today YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED TO WIN, YOU HAVE BEEN FORMED TO WIN. God did not form you in his likness so that you could have a stress attack, or heart attack or any other kind of attack. He did not create you to be a failure. He did not create you to stand in the middle of the floor and fuss with your parents, cuss out your sibling, to be angery and go to fighting becouse you lost control and feel like a failure. THE DEVIL IS A LIE!!!!! You are not a failuer,and were not met to fail , and you dont have to act like one. God created you to be the head not the tail. You were created to win. (Tell yourself "I AM A WINNER") You dont have to take a back seat to the enemy. This saying rings true that the "atmosphere of expectancy is the breeding grounds for mericals." Expect to win, expect to be the head and not the tail, expect to overcome. No matter what life hands you, YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE, YOU ARE NOT A LOSER. You are a child of God and was created in his likness and my God is not a failure and neither are you.

we are going to stop here ,we will continue this soon, please continue watching for more of this message "Crushing the failure spirite in our youth" If you need prayer or If this message has touched you in any way let me know just message me I would love hearing from you.                                                 God Bless, Pastor david
