this 16 years of age what are you a junior senior junior junior so um about for the past couple years I've had bad influences with friends and I was just trying to fit in so they were pretty much obsessed with females and stuff and then I became obsessed with them too I never like had sex or anything because my parents taught me at a young age to treat a female with love and kind be gentle with them so so I got a girlfriend around maybe start of summer and then about a month ago she broke up with me and she told me that I was perfect and I was gentle cing loving and all that and I didn't understand and I became confused and in the past I cut my friends off because I didn't want to live that lifestyle anymore and then um I felt alone for a very long time and I felt condemned that I didn't have anyone to talk to to because I cut my friends off so I fell into like having suicidal thoughts and stuff like that but I had two good friends with me named um Israel and cam they got me through that and then I became more Christlike through them having good friend groups around me now and then um I went to a football game with a youth leader named Ivan Martin and on the way there he was I was vincing to him and telling the story what happened and and he told me that God is going to give you someone better that you thought that she was perfect and everything and she's going to give you 10 times better and he said God doesn't give you the timing he just gives you the promise and now I'm just waiting for that promise and I give my life to him there is there is no doubt no doubt God has the perfect one for you she's alive and well and he's going to bring her into your life we don't need any volunteers but it amazes me a handsome young man like you the enemy would lie to like that and say just end your life your heart's been broken and it'll never be you don't have anything to live for that's a ly demon that's a lying demon and I'm so glad that you had friends that could point want you to Jesus we're so proud of you and uh there's no doubt that God has a plan my dad used to say there's a lot of fish in the sea if you if you if you catch one and it

me and him separated I had it took a lot of time to heal and um I made a promise to myself I was never going to lose myself to a man or to any other one or any other addiction or anything like that again um so thank you um and so for a year I volunteered I went to young adults um I went to and I helped minist in kids pack I did stuff in the cafe so I did I did other things and that I could help

three more y'all going to stay with us say amen I refuse to hurry these up this is too wonderful this is too wonderful give us your name Ariana Sanchez and uh how long you been in the church I recently moved to good in August and I actually started coming in August did somebody invite you or you just saw it or what no I used to live in Athens and I attended Athens Church and I wanted to find something like that and a church I even loved even more and so I Googled churches near me and conveniently enough four minutes down the road was Free Chapel so I came down and after the first day I felt like this was my home wow and and so what has the Lord done for you that made you want to get baptized I was tired of running away from God I was incredibly lost for a very long time and I was in a a deep dark hole and Jesus pulled me out of it and he showed me the light and ever since I surrendered myself to him he gave me peace joy and love that I have been searching for my entire life in the wrong places he's he's Lord of your life isn't he and that light shines through you I baptize you in the name of the Father the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit bless her Lord hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus thank you Lord you're doing great thank you're doing great take your time one more step was warm what's your name Mon and why are you doing this today how long you been coming to the church well I've been coming to this church for about 15 years but not actually physically in the building I was watching you okay for over 15 years I moved from New York to Maryland and I was watching you on the word network wow and you know what amazed me about you I had never really saw a white preacher before I grew up in Harlem so what what I I I never saw a white preacher but the spirit that filled you blew my mind I watched you for 15 years and I was Mo I was moving and I never thought I would move to Georgia you know when you're Northern or South is not really where you want to go no disrespect but um none taken and I watched you Pastor year after year after year and I remember manifesting something something and I said if I ever get the opportunity to visit that church and I didn't know where you were so when my family started migrating down here my niece who's probably in the audience she was like you heard her and and she said to me she said um move down to Georgia I was like Georgia why would I move to Georgia so she was like just move down here and I was like okay I was living in Baltimore my mom we came down unfortunately my mom got really sick and I'm going to try to give you the really short version because it's a powerful message in this when she got sick the family outside of that niece cuz I don't want to take offense but the family didn't come like they said they was going to come and I F by myself and my mother died me and her was besties and I felt alone but as God begin to move in me I realized that I wasn't alone he needed me to be alone so that I could depend strictly and totally on him yes so outside of loving you and knowing that I'm manifested that I'm here now I remember you spoke about the chyros timing which is God's perfect timing I'm here now because God is ready to move on my life like never before I'm in it for whatever he has and I'm just glad that he chose you to be my leader well I am honored I am honored you belong here and we love you I baptize you in the name of the Father the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit praise God I like the way she did that did y'all see that she said I like
