The speaker prophetically addresses the need for fasting, prayer, and repentance, especially for the youth and future generations facing challenges like drug problems and violence.

We've called a fast. We are fasting. We are praying. We are seeking the face of God. Don't take the spirit from us. Don't take the Holy Ghost from us. Bring conviction of the Holy Ghost. Our young people are going crazy. The only hope we have is prayer. God told me I had to pray now more than I did when I was 20 years old. I have to shut everything. No watching television. Turn everything off. Get along with God. And plead with Him. And God told me to tell you, weep for your children. It's what Jesus said to Jerusalem. Weep for your children. An invasion of drugs coming. This country is going to have one of the worst drug problems in the whole world. The violence is breaking out in your schools soon. There will not be a safe street in this country. Not even in the farms. You can turn me off if you want. You can say that will never happen. But what I felt 40 years ago in my country, I feel in my heart here. And I know the Holy Ghost is in this church tonight. This was a wonderful choir. The music touched my heart. The orchestra is one of the finest I've heard. And I see some clean, wonderful young people. And while I've been preaching, this is what I've seen. Tears. But there has to be more. More. More. A broken heart. We have forgotten to pray. You say, oh, we pray. Not like when we started. We've been too busy. Other things have come in now. Hallelujah. Oh God, move in this church. Move on these pastors. Forgive us, oh God. Forgive us. Forgive us. I weep for this country, oh God. Don't let happen what happened to us. God, raise up your successors. People will fast and pray. Oh Lord, what you want to do here. Faith has just begun. But unless we pray, it's going to die. There's a spirit right now. A touch of death. I come against it in Jesus' name. I find that bookworm spirit. And we drive it out of this church. And every pastor in this place. Awaken our hearts. We have gone after too much education. Too much arts. Too much professionalism. And God says, back to your knees. Holy Spirit, come. Convict us. Stir our hearts. I can't do it. You have to do it. God, help us. We need you. We need a new touch. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/mTCg6ORfh8o.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/david-wilkerson/clip-a-call-back-to-prayer-and-fasting/ ========================================================================
