Somebody Prayed (Compilation)

It was George Whitfield, now, I think. He stood on Boston Common speaking to 20,000 people, and he said, listen, Senator, you're monsters. Monsters of iniquity! You deserve hell! And the worst of your crimes is that criminals owe you men you haven't had the good grace to see yet! He said, if you will not weep for your sins and your crimes against the Holy God, George Whitfield will weep for you.

That man would put his head back, and he would sob like a baby. Why? Because men were in danger of hell? No. But because they were monsters of iniquity that didn't even see their standard care about their crimes.

And if you will not weep for your sins and your crimes against the Holy God, George Whitfield will weep for you. And I say the first thing I put on my sheet, the power of a holy life. The second thing I put on, he had a passion for my soul.

I wasn't saved in an ice box. I thought about it as Roger gave us those wonderful things and thought, principles of compassion. Somebody cared for me.

I read about where Paul... They don't necessarily have to be those kind that roll down your teeth. Some of us know a lot about them, too. And they drop down here where nobody can see them, but they're dropping all the time! I'll never forget the second time I ever went to a Sunday school.

As I held that hard, rough, carpenter's hand, I looked in his face and those tears tell them how great things were. Verse 2, Mark chapter 8. He walked in such a relationship that he had a little measure. And she explains many nights before he would eat his warm meal, she said outside that bedroom door, she said I'd hear him cry for me.

I don't know the relationship between a sovereign man of God's praise and the New Testament standard, but it's true. If people are making any marks on the ice for Christ today, preachers or churches, there's somebody in there praying. He prayed for me.

God is doing the work and he says, everyone, everyone, every... every person you meet is a potential brother or sister in Christ. That man in the bondage of homosexuality is a potential, is a possible brother or sister. When I go to the mission field, I don't go after the lost.

I go after my family. I've got brothers and sisters in there and they don't know about their father. They don't know that before the foundation of the world, a decree was made to save men.

They don't know that 2,000 years ago blood was shed on a train for them. I feel sometimes like God says, Paul, go get my people and bring them home. Every person is a potential brother or sister in Christ.

I want these young people to be saved. I want those that are saved to stop looking around them at a cultural Christianity that you hate and will spew out of your mouth and that they will look at the word of God and say, I will follow Jesus. Oh God, I pray for youth ministers and pastors and I pray that you'd fill them with a spirit of wisdom and love and boldness and discernment.

And dear God, whatever the cost, I pray that you would raise up missionaries. I can't help but look at these kids and think of my own little boy. Oh God, that you would save Ian and that you would raise him up and send him into the worst part of the battle.

Oh dear God, raise up missionaries here. Raise up missionaries. Raise up preachers and pastors and reachers and evangelists that know the word of God.

Oh God, work in this place. Please work in this place, dear God. Please.

Please.
