         spirit that we have dwelling on the inside of us; a life filled with

         blessings, joy and peace in this life and the next life to come.
         I can’t say it enough, we must keep ourselves from strange
         desires no matter how much this world promotes it and tries to

         make it ok. If God has a problem with it, then I have a problem
         with it,” Adriana said with authority.
              The youth stood to their feet applauding.
              “So, without further ado, there may be one here today
         that would like to make the awesome decision to accept Je-

         sus Christ into their hearts. You may feel trapped and in bond-
         age, and you can’t quite find a way out. If that is you today, I
         encourage you to come up and allow me the opportunity to

         put you in touch with Jesus.
              Several youth approached the stage weeping.

         gle you again with the yoke of bondage and sin. If that is you,

         the front of the stage.

         you speak from your heart.
              “So without further ado, I am going to ask you to repeat
         after me: Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for sending

         me your only begotten son to die for my sins so that I could
         live. Thank you, Jesus, for being wounded for my transgressions
         and being bruised for my iniquities. I believe that the chastise-

         ment of my peace was upon you. By your stripes Jesus Christ,
         I am healed. I believe that you are the son of God and that
         you rose from the grave on the third day with all power in your
         hands. Jesus, I ask that you come into my heart and become
