Abraham didn't want to see Sodom destroyed. He didn't want to see the cities destroyed. He didn't want to see the righteous die.
And there's people out there, friend, that are praying for you. There's a grandmama out there, brother, that doesn't want to see you die. She doesn't want to see you die in your sins.
She doesn't want to see you go under. And she's pleading to God. She's praying.
Some of you have made serious mistakes in your life. And you're living those mistakes right now. And there's a grandma, there's a grandfather, there's a young child, there's a mommy, there's a daddy somewhere praying.

Get him out of that drinking establishment, Jesus. Deliver him.
