everyone whom Jesus touched and healed did act that way , so because He is touching these youth today, they are only reacting the same way the people reacted in the Bible.” There are many older individuals who are quite content with a two-hour Sunday morning program, preplanned on paper and acted out according to the set time. These church members must understand that of all the youth raised in the Christian faith, 66 percent will no longer be attending church by age thirty. Only 33 percent of teens attending church report that God and church will play a role in their lives once they are on their own. This loss equates to about eight hundred thousand youth leaving the church between their junior year in high school and their sophomore year in college. 1 There are thousands of churches in America whose pews are filled with a faithful remnant, and when these believers depart, there are few youth and couples filling the pews. Eventually these churches will either be closed or sold. I want to make this clear: The Holy Spirit can be experienced and literally felt, and He should be felt in the life of a believer. We are told that the kingdom of God is not “eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 14:17). Joy and peace are considered feelings; they are emotions and are manifestations of the kingdom of God within us. D RUGS A RE THE C OUNTERFEIT FOR THE S PIRIT OF G OD
