  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:02.589
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:02.589 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:07.027 --> 00:00:08.661
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.661 --> 00:00:12.198
  • Something's gotta change because you say.
  • 00:00:13.066 --> 00:00:14.634
  • If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.137
  • But it's about this density.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:18.905
  • So let me destroy.
  • 00:00:18.905 --> 00:00:20.573
  • Oh come on, somebody. oh!
  • 00:00:20.573 --> 00:00:32.452
  • The smaller the water, the shorter the sermon.
  • 00:00:33.353 --> 00:00:36.322
  • So let's start with, like, a basic diagnosis, okay.
  • 00:00:36.322 --> 00:00:40.827
  • So proverbs chapter 14, verse two, if you're taking notes,
  • 00:00:41.995 --> 00:00:44.664
  • It's, it says there is a way that seems right.
  • 00:00:45.565 --> 00:00:48.168
  • It seems right to a man.
  • 00:00:48.168 --> 00:00:50.036
  • But it's end is the way of death.
  • 00:00:50.036 --> 00:00:52.305
  • So what that means is when you talk to the finance bros, what?
  • 00:00:52.305 --> 00:00:57.043
  • You know, what's that song?
  • 00:00:57.644 --> 00:00:58.745
  • You know, i need a guy in finance.
  • 00:00:58.745 --> 00:01:01.147
  • Yeah.
  • 00:01:01.381 --> 00:01:02.749
  • Okay.
  • 00:01:02.749 --> 00:01:04.617
  • So it's like you got.
  • 00:01:03.616 --> 00:01:05.819
  • You got the finance bros.
  • 00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:08.455
  • There's a way they're living their life that seems right to them.
  • 00:01:08.455 --> 00:01:12.358
  • They they work.
  • 00:01:12.725 --> 00:01:14.594
  • You know, one of my college roommates moved to the financial district
  • 00:01:14.594 --> 00:01:17.931
  • Of manhattan, and he just was grinding out these 80 hour weeks
  • 00:01:17.931 --> 00:01:21.701
  • And he's already retired.
  • 00:01:21.701 --> 00:01:23.636
  • And there's a way that seems right to a man.
  • 00:01:23.636 --> 00:01:26.906
  • There's a way.
  • 00:01:27.273 --> 00:01:28.875
  • Okay. now, when you all were sinners, i know you're saved.
  • 00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:30.643
  • Even though you know that song.
  • 00:01:30.643 --> 00:01:31.711
  • I know you're saved. but.
  • 00:01:31.711 --> 00:01:36.249
  • I know you're saved.
  • 00:01:36.716 --> 00:01:37.750
  • But let's be real.
  • 00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:39.686
  • When you would sin, it felt good to sin.
  • 00:01:39.686 --> 00:01:42.922
  • There is an exhilaration of it.
  • 00:01:43.556 --> 00:01:45.458
  • When you were drinking,
  • 00:01:45.458 --> 00:01:47.026
  • It was like, well, how buzz can i get before i get too drunk?
  • 00:01:47.026 --> 00:01:49.262
  • Because i don't want to get hung over, but i don't want to be sober.
  • 00:01:49.262 --> 00:01:52.265
  • I know the sinner. mathematics.
  • 00:01:52.265 --> 00:01:55.368
  • I know the equation.
  • 00:01:55.835 --> 00:01:57.737
  • How much can i drink without getting too drunk?
  • 00:01:57.737 --> 00:02:00.740
  • But just enough drunk to not care?
  • 00:02:00.740 --> 00:02:02.575
  • So i can say what i really want to say to that person.
  • 00:02:02.575 --> 00:02:05.945
  • So maybe i can step in the direction of that guy because he smelled good.
  • 00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.183
  • I don't know, whatever your situation was, the reality is sin.
  • 00:02:11.484 --> 00:02:13.686
  • If we're diagnosing the world
  • 00:02:13.686 --> 00:02:15.822
  • Most of the people that you know, this is their reality.
  • 00:02:15.822 --> 00:02:19.459
  • They're not christians.
  • 00:02:19.459 --> 00:02:21.227
  • They are people who are lost in sin and they're lost in brokenness.
  • 00:02:21.227 --> 00:02:25.198
  • This is their life.
  • 00:02:25.665 --> 00:02:27.567
  • And so what's normal to them is, oh yeah, i get high, but don't get too high.
  • 00:02:27.567 --> 00:02:30.870
  • Get drunk but don't get too drunk.
  • 00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:32.272
  • Sleep around, but be safe while you do it.
  • 00:02:32.272 --> 00:02:34.340
  • Is that not the equation? am i right?
  • 00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:37.744
  • And there's a way that seems right to man, but it leads to death.
  • 00:02:39.078 --> 00:02:42.048
  • And so there's this deceptive allure.
  • 00:02:42.849 --> 00:02:44.817
  • And they're drowning in temporary pleasure and they're unaware of it.
  • 00:02:44.817 --> 00:02:49.455
  • And the best way i can explain this is sin is a slow poison.
  • 00:02:49.455 --> 00:02:55.395
  • Sin is a slow poison.
  • 00:02:55.895 --> 00:02:58.264
  • That's why they they won't stop drinking because they haven't died from it yet.
  • 00:02:58.264 --> 00:03:03.269
  • And every time they got too drunk, they sobered up.
  • 00:03:04.304 --> 00:03:06.005
  • And then they
  • 00:03:06.005 --> 00:03:07.740
  • Were clean for a little while, and then they ate good for a little while.
  • 00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:10.443
  • And then it's.
  • 00:03:10.810 --> 00:03:11.911
  • It's because it's the slow poison.
  • 00:03:11.911 --> 00:03:13.713
  • But the bible is very, very clear that the wages of sin is death.
  • 00:03:13.713 --> 00:03:18.384
  • Let's look at romans chapter six, verse 23.
  • 00:03:18.384 --> 00:03:21.354
  • And some of you like, oh, he's preaching basic tonight.
  • 00:03:21.354 --> 00:03:23.656
  • Back up homie.
  • 00:03:23.656 --> 00:03:26.059
  • You, you know me too well.
  • 00:03:26.059 --> 00:03:28.595
  • The wages of sin is death.
  • 00:03:28.595 --> 00:03:30.230
  • But the gift of god is eternal life in christ jesus our lord.
  • 00:03:30.230 --> 00:03:34.367
  • Why have you always defined death as physical?
  • 00:03:35.335 --> 00:03:37.437
  • The wages of sin is relational.
  • 00:03:38.071 --> 00:03:40.006
  • Death.
  • 00:03:40.006 --> 00:03:41.174
  • The wages of sin is emotional death.
  • 00:03:41.174 --> 00:03:43.843
  • The wages of sin is the death of your purpose.
  • 00:03:43.843 --> 00:03:47.280
  • It's long before you die.
  • 00:03:47.847 --> 00:03:49.716
  • The physical death, the wages of your sin is everything else will die. to
  • 00:03:49.716 --> 00:03:54.487
  • Sin in your marriage
  • 00:03:54.954 --> 00:03:56.522
  • Will kill your marriage before it kills you.
  • 00:03:56.522 --> 00:03:59.826
  • Sin in your relationship.
  • 00:04:00.393 --> 00:04:02.128
  • Matter of fact,
  • 00:04:02.128 --> 00:04:03.930
  • Let me just say this because this church is just getting started.
  • 00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:05.231
  • This campus, if you have a whole lot of issues,
  • 00:04:05.231 --> 00:04:08.768
  • Is you.
  • 00:04:09.002 --> 00:04:12.972
  • You know, you meet these people.
  • 00:04:13.606 --> 00:04:15.174
  • Some's always wrong.
  • 00:04:15.174 --> 00:04:16.409
  • They got a problem for every solution.
  • 00:04:16.409 --> 00:04:19.746
  • If you go to a church and you got a lot of issues,
  • 00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:23.116
  • It's you.
  • 00:04:23.116 --> 00:04:26.386
  • You're the problem
  • 00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.521
  • The wages of sin is death.
  • 00:04:28.521 --> 00:04:31.824
  • And everybody's like, oh yeah, i get it.
  • 00:04:32.692 --> 00:04:34.794
  • And this is why they don't stop sinning because they didn't die after they sinned.
  • 00:04:34.794 --> 00:04:38.798
  • Adam.
  • 00:04:39.032 --> 00:04:42.001
  • Eve. see?
  • 00:04:42.001 --> 00:04:43.569
  • When when when. lucifer.
  • 00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:45.271
  • When the serpent in the garden deceived.
  • 00:04:45.271 --> 00:04:47.407
  • He was like, you won't die.
  • 00:04:47.407 --> 00:04:49.776
  • What? what?
  • 00:04:49.776 --> 00:04:51.010
  • The truth is, you won't die instantly.
  • 00:04:51.010 --> 00:04:53.813
  • And so when
  • 00:04:54.147 --> 00:04:55.315
  • They ate of it, there was a deception.
  • 00:04:55.315 --> 00:04:57.684
  • Oh, wait, wait. nothing happened. no, no.
  • 00:04:57.684 --> 00:04:59.519
  • You just change the very fabric of the universe.
  • 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.155
  • It's just seen as a slow poison.
  • 00:05:02.155 --> 00:05:04.223
  • And it hasn't caught up yet. but, adam, you might.
  • 00:05:04.223 --> 00:05:06.893
  • You might live longer.
  • 00:05:06.893 --> 00:05:08.127
  • But, homie, you're still going to die.
  • 00:05:08.127 --> 00:05:10.963
  • Are y'all with me?
  • 00:05:10.963 --> 00:05:12.498
  • Okay?
  • 00:05:12.498 --> 00:05:14.467
  • Yeah, because when i throw out romans 623, some of y'all looked at me like i'm
  • 00:05:14.467 --> 00:05:16.602
  • Basic and i'm mad at you.
  • 00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:19.706
  • But we need to look at it from another perspective.
  • 00:05:20.773 --> 00:05:23.142
  • Okay.
  • 00:05:23.376 --> 00:05:24.777
  • So point number two let's give you the solution now.
  • 00:05:24.777 --> 00:05:27.980
  • So that's the diagnosis.
  • 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:30.149
  • What is the solution.
  • 00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:32.585
  • The solution is the however real
  • 00:05:32.585 --> 00:05:34.620
  • Jesus is to you is how real he will become to them.
  • 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:39.459
  • However real
  • 00:05:39.792 --> 00:05:41.094
  • He is to you is how real he'll become to them.
  • 00:05:41.094 --> 00:05:44.063
  • And so some of you are expecting people to get a revelation
  • 00:05:45.198 --> 00:05:47.600
  • Of the fake jesus in your life.
  • 00:05:48.234 --> 00:05:51.070
  • So it's like he's not real to you.
  • 00:05:51.838 --> 00:05:53.106
  • You haven't let him into your addiction,
  • 00:05:53.106 --> 00:05:54.574
  • But you want jesus to break their addiction
  • 00:05:54.574 --> 00:05:57.510
  • Because you it's going to come through you.
  • 00:05:57.510 --> 00:06:00.146
  • And what god wants to do is god wants to do it through you, to them.
  • 00:06:00.146 --> 00:06:04.217
  • And there's something
  • 00:06:04.717 --> 00:06:06.652
  • About the release of christ in and through you will become real to them.
  • 00:06:06.652 --> 00:06:09.021
  • And here's a here's the scripture, matthew chapter five, verse 16.
  • 00:06:10.323 --> 00:06:13.226
  • It's a common verse, but i'm going to help you understand it.
  • 00:06:14.394 --> 00:06:16.295
  • Let your light shine before men, that they may
  • 00:06:16.295 --> 00:06:20.533
  • See your good works, your good deeds, and glorify the father in heaven.
  • 00:06:20.533 --> 00:06:25.004
  • Okay, listen, i know we're in the city,
  • 00:06:25.838 --> 00:06:28.341
  • But nobody invites a moth to their house.
  • 00:06:28.341 --> 00:06:31.043
  • But their lights do.
  • 00:06:31.043 --> 00:06:33.479
  • Did you catch it?
  • 00:06:33.913 --> 00:06:35.348
  • Nobody invites bugs to their house.
  • 00:06:35.348 --> 00:06:37.617
  • But turn on a light and they'll come.
  • 00:06:37.617 --> 00:06:39.652
  • Stop trying to invite people to church.
  • 00:06:39.652 --> 00:06:41.954
  • Turn on your light and they'll come.
  • 00:06:41.954 --> 00:06:47.693
  • Stop.
  • 00:06:47.927 --> 00:06:49.095
  • Yeah, yeah. now everybody's clapping.
  • 00:06:49.095 --> 00:06:50.797
  • Stop trying to invite them to church.
  • 00:06:50.797 --> 00:06:53.199
  • Shine your light and you will attract them.
  • 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.802
  • They will come. that's the. that is the secret.
  • 00:06:55.802 --> 00:06:58.538
  • We got christians that know how to invite, but don't know how to shine.
  • 00:06:58.538 --> 00:07:03.509
  • I'm trying to help y'all.
  • 00:07:04.076 --> 00:07:05.978
  • Come on.
  • 00:07:05.978 --> 00:07:07.280
  • You didn't know i was drake's brother up here.
  • 00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:09.749
  • Let your light shine.
  • 00:07:10.249 --> 00:07:11.751
  • And it doesn't say.
  • 00:07:11.751 --> 00:07:12.885
  • Let your shine.
  • 00:07:12.885 --> 00:07:13.986
  • Your light shine before christians.
  • 00:07:13.986 --> 00:07:16.589
  • Because some of you let it shine brighter
  • 00:07:16.589 --> 00:07:19.225
  • Before christians than you do sinners.
  • 00:07:19.225 --> 00:07:22.628
  • And what i'm trying to help bring you into a unity with yourself
  • 00:07:23.963 --> 00:07:26.466
  • Is that you shine brighter.
  • 00:07:27.066 --> 00:07:28.100
  • Some of you code switch.
  • 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:34.807
  • Sides.
  • 00:07:35.041 --> 00:07:38.344
  • You know how to talk when you're around other christians,
  • 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:41.514
  • But the very people that need that prophecy are the ones who don't know.
  • 00:07:42.882 --> 00:07:45.051
  • The one that gave the prophecy.
  • 00:07:45.051 --> 00:07:47.153
  • Stop code switching.
  • 00:07:47.153 --> 00:07:49.755
  • Become the same person in every situation.
  • 00:07:49.755 --> 00:07:53.125
  • That is the definition of integrity.
  • 00:07:53.926 --> 00:07:56.262
  • Integrity is when you never switch it up.
  • 00:07:57.163 --> 00:08:00.099
  • People are like, why do you yell like that?
  • 00:08:00.967 --> 00:08:02.702
  • Because i yell like this in my bedroom, in my kitchen, in my bathroom,
  • 00:08:02.702 --> 00:08:05.505
  • And on the street that people are like, oh, you're preaching so an authentic.
  • 00:08:05.505 --> 00:08:09.175
  • It's because i'm the same person in every place.
  • 00:08:10.142 --> 00:08:11.477
  • Why don't you join?
  • 00:08:11.477 --> 00:08:14.714
  • This is integrity.
  • 00:08:15.147 --> 00:08:18.084
  • Okay.
  • 00:08:18.317 --> 00:08:19.952
  • Hey, mike. signa rally here in the studio.
  • 00:08:19.952 --> 00:08:22.355
  • We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon,
  • 00:08:22.355 --> 00:08:24.790
  • But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
  • 00:08:24.790 --> 00:08:27.793
  • That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
  • 00:08:27.793 --> 00:08:31.797
  • And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
  • 00:08:33.199 --> 00:08:36.836
  • And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
  • 00:08:37.937 --> 00:08:39.906
  • I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
  • 00:08:39.906 --> 00:08:44.377
  • Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
  • 00:08:44.377 --> 00:08:48.147
  • In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:08:48.147 --> 00:08:52.585
  • It's called the breakers of mobile app.
  • 00:08:53.386 --> 00:08:55.288
  • It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
  • 00:08:55.288 --> 00:08:59.492
  • I will see you there.
  • 00:08:59.992 --> 00:09:03.563
  • Okay, but the thing i'm trying to help you understand
  • 00:09:04.630 --> 00:09:07.600
  • Is that we're living in an era where the most compassionate
  • 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.504
  • Thing you can do is tell somebody the truth in a world full of lies.
  • 00:09:11.504 --> 00:09:15.074
  • But it's going to be uncomfortable because there's two kinds of people.
  • 00:09:16.509 --> 00:09:19.211
  • There's the people that when you tell them the truth,
  • 00:09:20.246 --> 00:09:22.081
  • All you're doing is confirming what the holy spirit has already spoken.
  • 00:09:22.081 --> 00:09:25.985
  • So you're thinking,
  • 00:09:26.452 --> 00:09:28.220
  • If i tell them the truth about what god says about their sexuality,
  • 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.891
  • They're never going to be my friend ever again.
  • 00:09:32.825 --> 00:09:34.393
  • What you don't realize is the holy spirit is your team member.
  • 00:09:34.393 --> 00:09:38.264
  • And the holy spirit's already been working on them.
  • 00:09:39.332 --> 00:09:41.033
  • The holy spirit's been giving them prophetic dreams.
  • 00:09:41.033 --> 00:09:43.569
  • The holy spirit's been sending other messengers.
  • 00:09:43.569 --> 00:09:45.638
  • So when you come to them, you think you're giving them information,
  • 00:09:45.638 --> 00:09:49.175
  • But you're actually giving them a confirmation.
  • 00:09:49.175 --> 00:09:51.577
  • And that's the thing is, some of y'all think that
  • 00:09:52.511 --> 00:09:54.647
  • When you're out in the world, you're you're doing a solo side quest,
  • 00:09:54.647 --> 00:09:58.284
  • Not realizing he'll never leave you nor forsake you.
  • 00:09:59.318 --> 00:10:01.287
  • He's your team member.
  • 00:10:01.787 --> 00:10:02.488
  • He's with you.
  • 00:10:02.488 --> 00:10:03.923
  • And it's like, you know, people, i hear so many stories
  • 00:10:03.923 --> 00:10:07.560
  • Of how people go to muslim nations and they go to minister to a muslim
  • 00:10:08.961 --> 00:10:11.430
  • Thinking they're going to be killed, not realizing that
  • 00:10:11.430 --> 00:10:13.466
  • Jesus has already visited them in a dream multiple times.
  • 00:10:13.466 --> 00:10:17.637
  • I talked to this dude, the other day and they say he told this crazy story.
  • 00:10:19.105 --> 00:10:21.874
  • They were in the middle east and the women are never supposed to touch a man.
  • 00:10:23.376 --> 00:10:25.611
  • Y'all know that.
  • 00:10:25.978 --> 00:10:27.380
  • And they explicitly said, when we go on this trip,
  • 00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:30.650
  • They looked at the women and said, you gotta fully cover yourself
  • 00:10:31.951 --> 00:10:33.686
  • And don't touch any men under any condition.
  • 00:10:33.686 --> 00:10:36.555
  • Well, they go to they land and they're in the airport.
  • 00:10:36.555 --> 00:10:39.859
  • And all of a sudden
  • 00:10:40.326 --> 00:10:42.328
  • The guards are there and one of the guards approached the woman and as a gesture,
  • 00:10:42.328 --> 00:10:45.564
  • The pastor's wife to be nice, was said something and then touch the guy.
  • 00:10:45.564 --> 00:10:49.735
  • So everybody panics.
  • 00:10:50.202 --> 00:10:51.971
  • The dude flies back, hits the ground and slides back.
  • 00:10:51.971 --> 00:10:55.307
  • And the gun that was over him slides away.
  • 00:10:55.307 --> 00:10:58.277
  • Here's what happened.
  • 00:10:58.778 --> 00:11:00.312
  • The power of god hit that guard so hard it laid him out.
  • 00:11:00.312 --> 00:11:04.917
  • Now these people, none of them are christians,
  • 00:11:05.851 --> 00:11:07.920
  • And they're certainly not charismatic christians.
  • 00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:09.722
  • They're all muslims.
  • 00:11:09.722 --> 00:11:11.390
  • So this guy goes on.
  • 00:11:11.390 --> 00:11:12.692
  • He's on the ground shaking and laughing.
  • 00:11:12.692 --> 00:11:15.261
  • Nobody even notices that the gun slid away.
  • 00:11:15.261 --> 00:11:17.997
  • Then another person comes over and ask him what happened.
  • 00:11:17.997 --> 00:11:20.566
  • And he's saying, when that woman hit the he's speaking another language.
  • 00:11:20.566 --> 00:11:23.436
  • When that woman touched me, something happened to me.
  • 00:11:23.436 --> 00:11:25.871
  • I feel amazing.
  • 00:11:25.871 --> 00:11:27.807
  • So then the other guard goes up to the woman, says, can you touch me too?
  • 00:11:27.807 --> 00:11:31.510
  • Some of you don't understand
  • 00:11:32.111 --> 00:11:35.648
  • That the holy spirit is trying to collaborate with you,
  • 00:11:36.716 --> 00:11:39.985
  • And even when you mess up, he'll turn it into a win
  • 00:11:40.986 --> 00:11:43.489
  • Because he loves those people more than you do.
  • 00:11:44.423 --> 00:11:48.294
  • We need some supernatural stories.
  • 00:11:49.061 --> 00:11:52.331
  • Stop being such. it's like, be as wild
  • 00:11:53.165 --> 00:11:55.134
  • As you were in the world for jesus, and it'll all work out.
  • 00:11:55.134 --> 00:11:58.537
  • If you're not having fun being a christian, you're doing it wrong.
  • 00:11:59.872 --> 00:12:01.774
  • Lead the lost to the cross at any cost.
  • 00:12:02.608 --> 00:12:07.847
  • It's getting in you.
  • 00:12:08.314 --> 00:12:09.648
  • Okay.
  • 00:12:09.648 --> 00:12:10.850
  • Acts chapter four, verse 13.
  • 00:12:10.850 --> 00:12:13.652
  • Acts chapter four.
  • 00:12:13.652 --> 00:12:15.221
  • Verse 13 is one of my favorite verses in the entire bible.
  • 00:12:15.221 --> 00:12:18.190
  • I'm going to read it to you.
  • 00:12:18.791 --> 00:12:20.159
  • So when peter and john were boldly preaching,
  • 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.162
  • They were just telling the gospel.
  • 00:12:23.929 --> 00:12:25.664
  • It says that the people, their response to hearing the gospel
  • 00:12:25.664 --> 00:12:29.735
  • Was, whoa, peter and john, they've been with jesus.
  • 00:12:29.735 --> 00:12:33.706
  • I can tell they've been with jesus,
  • 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.642
  • Because when i hear them talk and when i watch them,
  • 00:12:36.642 --> 00:12:39.945
  • Only somebody who's been with jesus can can move like that can speak.
  • 00:12:41.313 --> 00:12:43.916
  • There's it was the evidence.
  • 00:12:44.517 --> 00:12:46.385
  • And so my private prayer, which is not going to be private anymore,
  • 00:12:46.385 --> 00:12:48.921
  • Is i've been praying for years and years that
  • 00:12:49.855 --> 00:12:52.925
  • I that people would say this verse over me,
  • 00:12:53.826 --> 00:12:56.562
  • Like my private prayer would be
  • 00:12:57.196 --> 00:12:58.731
  • That when people are like, what do you think about mike?
  • 00:12:58.731 --> 00:13:00.099
  • He's been with jesus.
  • 00:13:00.099 --> 00:13:02.434
  • What do you think about that dude mic?
  • 00:13:02.434 --> 00:13:04.436
  • Yeah. he's crazy. he's.
  • 00:13:04.436 --> 00:13:05.504
  • But he's been with jesus.
  • 00:13:05.504 --> 00:13:07.606
  • And so my private prayer for years and years has been gone
  • 00:13:07.606 --> 00:13:11.210
  • Without me even saying anything.
  • 00:13:11.844 --> 00:13:14.413
  • However, however real you become to me, you become to them.
  • 00:13:15.548 --> 00:13:17.483
  • So can i host your presence?
  • 00:13:17.483 --> 00:13:19.652
  • So when i was in alabama, i was just walking down the hallway
  • 00:13:19.652 --> 00:13:22.588
  • And the guy was like, man, i just feel the presence of god on you.
  • 00:13:22.588 --> 00:13:26.158
  • And they didn't realize you're speaking into my private prayer life.
  • 00:13:27.493 --> 00:13:29.562
  • And that happens frequently.
  • 00:13:30.162 --> 00:13:31.330
  • But i was at a buffalo wild wings,
  • 00:13:31.330 --> 00:13:34.166
  • Not under this, raising cane's.
  • 00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:37.203
  • And i was at this buffalo wild wings alone.
  • 00:13:38.137 --> 00:13:40.539
  • Now, listen, sometimes you gotta learn how to date yourself.
  • 00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:43.275
  • Can i get him? amen. on that.
  • 00:13:43.275 --> 00:13:45.511
  • So i'm. i'm.
  • 00:13:45.511 --> 00:13:46.846
  • And i'll tell you, buffalo wild wings alone.
  • 00:13:46.846 --> 00:13:48.981
  • You should try it.
  • 00:13:48.981 --> 00:13:51.483
  • I had people tagging me in buffalo wild wings today.
  • 00:13:51.483 --> 00:13:53.953
  • Like, all over the u.s..
  • 00:13:53.953 --> 00:13:55.688
  • They saw a bump in sales today that i don't know what happened.
  • 00:13:55.688 --> 00:13:58.958
  • Somebody is praying on their staff.
  • 00:13:59.758 --> 00:14:01.794
  • So i'm sitting there alone, and the waiter keeps coming back to take my order.
  • 00:14:01.794 --> 00:14:05.731
  • And all of a sudden he goes, he comes back.
  • 00:14:06.632 --> 00:14:08.033
  • This time he's like, hey, bro, i just gotta ask you,
  • 00:14:08.033 --> 00:14:09.802
  • This isn't even appropriate, but are you a christian?
  • 00:14:09.802 --> 00:14:13.205
  • So then when he asked that question, i start welling up with tears.
  • 00:14:14.573 --> 00:14:16.575
  • And because he's answering this private prayer where i was like, lord,
  • 00:14:18.010 --> 00:14:19.912
  • I don't want to even have to always open my mouth.
  • 00:14:19.912 --> 00:14:22.248
  • I just want people to know, i want
  • 00:14:22.248 --> 00:14:24.083
  • I want the aroma of your presence to be on my life.
  • 00:14:24.083 --> 00:14:26.919
  • And so all of a sudden, i turn him in, i'm crying a little bit and i'm like,
  • 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.855
  • Bro, yes, i'm a christian.
  • 00:14:29.855 --> 00:14:31.790
  • And my prayer is that people would ask that because they would feel it.
  • 00:14:31.790 --> 00:14:35.628
  • Like, why are you asking me? and this is what he said.
  • 00:14:36.695 --> 00:14:37.930
  • He goes every time.
  • 00:14:37.930 --> 00:14:39.798
  • He's like, i've been serving at this buffalo wild wings for a long time.
  • 00:14:39.798 --> 00:14:42.167
  • And i just you learn people.
  • 00:14:42.768 --> 00:14:44.770
  • And every time i came back to your table, i felt something on you.
  • 00:14:44.770 --> 00:14:48.507
  • I felt the presence of god.
  • 00:14:48.507 --> 00:14:50.276
  • And he was like, i just had to ask you. then i.
  • 00:14:50.276 --> 00:14:52.144
  • Then i flipped it on him and i said, let me ask you, are you a christian?
  • 00:14:52.144 --> 00:14:55.648
  • And he said, i used to be.
  • 00:14:56.215 --> 00:14:57.783
  • And i said, oh, lord.
  • 00:14:58.284 --> 00:14:59.351
  • He fell into the trap,
  • 00:14:59.351 --> 00:15:02.621
  • You know, like, oh, he's in my spiderweb now.
  • 00:15:03.555 --> 00:15:06.325
  • You got too close, brother.
  • 00:15:06.926 --> 00:15:08.294
  • You're stuck in the web now.
  • 00:15:08.294 --> 00:15:09.795
  • But you know, this is how we need to be thinking.
  • 00:15:09.795 --> 00:15:13.265
  • These are souls.
  • 00:15:13.632 --> 00:15:15.434
  • Everything in your life should be a holy ghost hijacking.
  • 00:15:15.434 --> 00:15:18.904
  • You get into an uber and you look at that uber driver and said
  • 00:15:20.172 --> 00:15:21.941
  • You messed up when you accepted this uber.
  • 00:15:21.941 --> 00:15:25.244
  • Your whole life should be a holy ghost hijacking.
  • 00:15:26.245 --> 00:15:28.781
  • You know what i mean?
  • 00:15:29.281 --> 00:15:30.182
  • That's the thrill
  • 00:15:30.182 --> 00:15:31.984
  • When you're looking at him like, oh lord, give me one word right now.
  • 00:15:31.984 --> 00:15:34.353
  • I'm about to go.
  • 00:15:34.353 --> 00:15:35.754
  • So this guy said, i said, i said, you're ready.
  • 00:15:35.754 --> 00:15:38.891
  • And so i said, let me just tell you this.
  • 00:15:39.792 --> 00:15:41.527
  • You're going to renew your commitment to christ
  • 00:15:41.527 --> 00:15:43.362
  • Because this is the divine appointment, and this is what he tells me.
  • 00:15:43.362 --> 00:15:46.632
  • He goes, bro, not only was that i used to be a christian,
  • 00:15:46.632 --> 00:15:50.202
  • But i was in seminary because i was going to be a pastor.
  • 00:15:50.202 --> 00:15:53.539
  • So i looked at him, i said, i'm a pastor.
  • 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.308
  • And i said, right now you're going to give your life back to christ.
  • 00:15:56.308 --> 00:15:58.911
  • And i scooted over and i said, i want you to sit down
  • 00:15:58.911 --> 00:16:02.214
  • And we're going to renew your commitment to christ.
  • 00:16:03.215 --> 00:16:04.583
  • And now he's getting welled up with tears.
  • 00:16:04.583 --> 00:16:06.885
  • And i said, when this prayer is over, you're going to get up.
  • 00:16:06.885 --> 00:16:09.321
  • And i said, you're going to reenroll in seminary and you will be a pastor.
  • 00:16:09.321 --> 00:16:13.625
  • And i spoke that over a minute, and he couldn't even control it.
  • 00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:16.996
  • I led him back to christ, and he got up.
  • 00:16:16.996 --> 00:16:19.064
  • Now he said, going to give me more wings right now in jesus name.
  • 00:16:19.064 --> 00:16:23.802
  • Now go give.
  • 00:16:24.136 --> 00:16:24.803
  • Because i cried.
  • 00:16:24.803 --> 00:16:25.771
  • Because we cried in my wings.
  • 00:16:25.771 --> 00:16:28.707
  • Now go give me more wings and bring wrench.
  • 00:16:29.641 --> 00:16:33.612
  • And they go to heaven.
  • 00:16:34.113 --> 00:16:36.648
  • But you see
  • 00:16:36.648 --> 00:16:39.251
  • In acts chapter in acts chapter four, verse 13,
  • 00:16:39.251 --> 00:16:42.821
  • It was like these people that what they said about about peter
  • 00:16:44.023 --> 00:16:47.459
  • And john was, they said they realized these men have been with jesus.
  • 00:16:47.459 --> 00:16:51.663
  • There's a lot of people who've been to church who haven't been with jesus.
  • 00:16:53.132 --> 00:16:55.501
  • There's a lot of people who've been in worship services
  • 00:16:56.568 --> 00:16:59.104
  • But haven't been with jesus.
  • 00:16:59.104 --> 00:17:00.939
  • There's a lot of people who have been to conferences
  • 00:17:00.939 --> 00:17:02.975
  • But haven't been with jesus.
  • 00:17:02.975 --> 00:17:04.443
  • That's why this scripture is so much more specific.
  • 00:17:04.443 --> 00:17:07.646
  • It's i didn't ask you, did you have a religious experience?
  • 00:17:08.814 --> 00:17:10.816
  • The thing that they said is, i know that these men have been with jesus,
  • 00:17:12.284 --> 00:17:14.653
  • And this is the book of acts.
  • 00:17:15.287 --> 00:17:16.188
  • This is post ascension.
  • 00:17:16.188 --> 00:17:18.390
  • So there's something about that for you.
  • 00:17:19.258 --> 00:17:20.826
  • How many of you want that to be said about you?
  • 00:17:20.826 --> 00:17:23.729
  • So you might have to stop cussing.
  • 00:17:23.729 --> 00:17:27.599
  • And this isn't legalism.
  • 00:17:28.100 --> 00:17:30.402
  • This isn't legalism.
  • 00:17:30.402 --> 00:17:32.538
  • But i told somebody the other day, i was like, figure out a way to make
  • 00:17:32.538 --> 00:17:36.175
  • To make it have the same impact of a cuss word without cussing.
  • 00:17:37.376 --> 00:17:39.611
  • And then you'll become a preacher
  • 00:17:40.345 --> 00:17:42.414
  • Because we got there's some things about us that we need to
  • 00:17:42.414 --> 00:17:45.284
  • We need to say, am i creating a barrier between me and the gospel?
  • 00:17:45.284 --> 00:17:49.254
  • And if it's language, change your language, you know what i mean?
  • 00:17:50.622 --> 00:17:53.559
  • It's like some of these things, it's like,
  • 00:17:54.426 --> 00:17:55.961
  • How can blessing and cursing come out of the same spring?
  • 00:17:55.961 --> 00:17:59.131
  • How can salt and water come out of the same?
  • 00:18:00.065 --> 00:18:01.467
  • And that's what i'm saying about code switching.
  • 00:18:01.467 --> 00:18:03.502
  • It's like you got there's something to all, pastor mike i can't control.
  • 00:18:03.502 --> 00:18:06.638
  • Yes, you can, because one of the fruits of the spirit is self-control.
  • 00:18:06.638 --> 00:18:10.175
  • So you can you're going to have to rewire it,
  • 00:18:11.110 --> 00:18:13.479
  • And that takes some time, but you can do it.
  • 00:18:13.479 --> 00:18:15.981
  • And so i want you to begin to go on a journey of saying, holy spirit,
  • 00:18:15.981 --> 00:18:19.384
  • Is there anything about my life that is to the detriment of reaching the lost
  • 00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:24.356
  • And deal with it?
  • 00:18:24.790 --> 00:18:26.191
  • Okay.
  • 00:18:26.191 --> 00:18:27.793
  • Romans chapter two verse four says, it's the kindness of god
  • 00:18:27.793 --> 00:18:30.996
  • That leads to repentance.
  • 00:18:31.563 --> 00:18:32.498
  • Can everybody say kindness?
  • 00:18:32.498 --> 00:18:35.234
  • It's the kindness of god that leads to repentance.
  • 00:18:35.234 --> 00:18:39.371
  • If you're near one of our campuses, i want to give you
  • 00:18:40.439 --> 00:18:42.441
  • A personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:18:42.441 --> 00:18:46.445
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:18:47.913 --> 00:18:51.083
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:18:52.084 --> 00:18:54.653
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:18:55.621 --> 00:18:57.456
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:18:57.456 --> 00:19:01.760
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
  • 00:19:03.095 --> 00:19:08.634
  • So here's how i want to conclude this sermon.
  • 00:19:09.535 --> 00:19:12.804
  • We're going to wrap,
  • 00:19:13.272 --> 00:19:16.308
  • Let's can we just keep it 100?
  • 00:19:16.942 --> 00:19:20.279
  • You had an experience with jesus, and jesus set you free
  • 00:19:21.413 --> 00:19:24.883
  • And there's some things in your life that changed
  • 00:19:25.884 --> 00:19:27.486
  • And some of your friends and family members,
  • 00:19:27.486 --> 00:19:29.321
  • They don't understand why you come to church
  • 00:19:29.321 --> 00:19:31.456
  • And they think you're a little off.
  • 00:19:31.456 --> 00:19:33.325
  • And then they then if they find out you give your finances to the church,
  • 00:19:33.325 --> 00:19:36.428
  • Now you're in a cult for sure.
  • 00:19:36.428 --> 00:19:39.698
  • Heaven forbid.
  • 00:19:40.065 --> 00:19:41.867
  • Now you can spend $200 at buffalo wild wings on those family members,
  • 00:19:41.867 --> 00:19:45.604
  • And they'll never question the status of your bank account.
  • 00:19:45.604 --> 00:19:48.874
  • Did you hear what i just said?
  • 00:19:49.508 --> 00:19:50.576
  • You can.
  • 00:19:50.576 --> 00:19:52.110
  • If you literally sat down in buffalo wild wings and said,
  • 00:19:52.110 --> 00:19:54.346
  • Hey guys, tonight it's on me and buy whatever drink you want.
  • 00:19:54.346 --> 00:19:57.382
  • Your generous
  • 00:19:57.382 --> 00:19:59.351
  • You do the equivalent of that at the local church so that we can feed the poor
  • 00:19:59.351 --> 00:20:03.855
  • And we can break addictions and cancel suicides and reconcile marriages.
  • 00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:07.793
  • And people from your family will think you are crazy.
  • 00:20:08.894 --> 00:20:10.896
  • What does that reveal?
  • 00:20:11.396 --> 00:20:12.731
  • It reveals a system.
  • 00:20:13.198 --> 00:20:15.734
  • It reveals there's the kingdom of heaven.
  • 00:20:15.734 --> 00:20:17.569
  • Then there's the kingdom of darkness.
  • 00:20:17.569 --> 00:20:19.338
  • And as long as you play by the rules of the kingdom of darkness,
  • 00:20:19.338 --> 00:20:22.207
  • You'll have no problems.
  • 00:20:22.207 --> 00:20:23.842
  • But when you flip the script and you start playing the rules
  • 00:20:23.842 --> 00:20:26.578
  • By the kingdom of light, that's when everybody's gonna think you're crazy.
  • 00:20:26.578 --> 00:20:29.848
  • And. and i say, bring it on.
  • 00:20:30.449 --> 00:20:32.584
  • Because i want to do the things that i.
  • 00:20:32.584 --> 00:20:36.955
  • Here's how i always say, if you're not in a head on collision
  • 00:20:38.257 --> 00:20:40.025
  • With the devil, it's because you're heading the same direction.
  • 00:20:40.025 --> 00:20:42.894
  • And the reason why i say that is because it's like when i remember
  • 00:20:44.196 --> 00:20:46.431
  • Pastor chase when in indiana was like,
  • 00:20:46.431 --> 00:20:48.600
  • They're cutting chicken's heads off and putting them in my yard, and
  • 00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:51.536
  • They're putting tampons in menstruation blood in the form of pentagrams.
  • 00:20:51.536 --> 00:20:55.440
  • And pastor chase, my campus pastor, is like,
  • 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.509
  • They don't want us here in northwest indiana.
  • 00:20:57.509 --> 00:20:59.978
  • They don't want v1 church.
  • 00:20:59.978 --> 00:21:01.446
  • And he said, pastor mike, what do we do about this?
  • 00:21:01.446 --> 00:21:03.882
  • You know what i told him?
  • 00:21:03.882 --> 00:21:05.417
  • I said, pastor chase, check yourself when it stops happening
  • 00:21:05.417 --> 00:21:09.021
  • Because it means you're not a threat to the enemy anymore.
  • 00:21:10.188 --> 00:21:14.059
  • It's not a problem to solve.
  • 00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:16.261
  • It's attention to manage.
  • 00:21:16.261 --> 00:21:17.763
  • You're hated by the devil.
  • 00:21:17.763 --> 00:21:19.431
  • You're hated by those principalities.
  • 00:21:19.431 --> 00:21:21.300
  • When they stop cursing you. that's when you need to worry.
  • 00:21:21.300 --> 00:21:23.869
  • When you stop getting caught, that's when you need to worry.
  • 00:21:23.869 --> 00:21:26.838
  • So if you show up to work and you don't offend anybody,
  • 00:21:26.838 --> 00:21:30.175
  • You should be asking yourself, am i shining?
  • 00:21:31.109 --> 00:21:33.245
  • Have or am i compromising
  • 00:21:33.812 --> 00:21:37.115
  • Because there's going to be something
  • 00:21:37.916 --> 00:21:39.685
  • About you that irritates and agitates demons inside of them,
  • 00:21:39.685 --> 00:21:43.689
  • That irritates and agitates their carnality and their fleshly desires.
  • 00:21:45.090 --> 00:21:47.292
  • But there will also be something in you
  • 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.028
  • That is, that is actually confirming what the holy spirit spoke in them.
  • 00:21:50.028 --> 00:21:53.632
  • But i want to do something.
  • 00:21:54.232 --> 00:21:55.167
  • So here's what i want to do.
  • 00:21:55.167 --> 00:21:57.536
  • And the holy spirit gave me this idea.
  • 00:21:57.536 --> 00:21:59.738
  • And already we're getting a flood of testimonies.
  • 00:21:59.738 --> 00:22:02.441
  • We're not on a broadcast tonight,
  • 00:22:02.441 --> 00:22:04.576
  • So i want to do this a little bit differently.
  • 00:22:04.576 --> 00:22:06.611
  • As the lead pastor of this church, as your pastor,
  • 00:22:06.611 --> 00:22:09.481
  • I want to send a message to your friends and family,
  • 00:22:09.481 --> 00:22:12.351
  • And i want to try to narrate for them what happened in your life
  • 00:22:12.351 --> 00:22:15.887
  • And what this is all about.
  • 00:22:16.488 --> 00:22:17.322
  • And i want to help
  • 00:22:17.322 --> 00:22:19.091
  • Put some language to it, and i want to give this to you as a resource.
  • 00:22:19.091 --> 00:22:22.427
  • Some people already have their phones out.
  • 00:22:23.328 --> 00:22:24.329
  • Maybe they watch this morning.
  • 00:22:24.329 --> 00:22:25.664
  • So if you want, you don't have to do this.
  • 00:22:25.664 --> 00:22:27.799
  • But if you want to film this moment right now to send it to them,
  • 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.969
  • The next time they ask you, why are you going on the train?
  • 00:22:30.969 --> 00:22:34.172
  • Why are you taking three busses?
  • 00:22:34.806 --> 00:22:36.341
  • Why are you showing up to that church early to volunteer?
  • 00:22:36.341 --> 00:22:38.810
  • Why are you giving your money and they just can't understand it?
  • 00:22:38.810 --> 00:22:42.314
  • I felt like the lord told me mic, just speak and help them understand.
  • 00:22:43.715 --> 00:22:46.618
  • So i see a lot of phones coming out right now
  • 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.287
  • And just let me record this because i just want to talk to him.
  • 00:22:49.287 --> 00:22:52.424
  • I just want to talk to your friends and family right now.
  • 00:22:53.592 --> 00:22:54.860
  • Okay? so
  • 00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:56.361
  • If you're watching this video right now, it's
  • 00:22:57.295 --> 00:22:59.264
  • Because your friend or your family member
  • 00:22:59.264 --> 00:23:02.667
  • Wanted to give me an opportunity to say something to you.
  • 00:23:03.735 --> 00:23:06.838
  • And i'm here and v one church and my name is mike.
  • 00:23:07.873 --> 00:23:10.275
  • I'm the the lead pastor.
  • 00:23:10.275 --> 00:23:12.511
  • And i just felt a burden when i was praying
  • 00:23:12.511 --> 00:23:15.781
  • To just explain some things to you.
  • 00:23:16.581 --> 00:23:18.116
  • And instead of you coming to us because maybe you'll never come
  • 00:23:18.116 --> 00:23:21.253
  • To the church and it's, you know, so i want to come to you through this video.
  • 00:23:21.253 --> 00:23:25.323
  • So that's why i'm doing this.
  • 00:23:25.957 --> 00:23:27.225
  • And i just want to explain something, okay?
  • 00:23:27.225 --> 00:23:29.394
  • I used to be an atheist.
  • 00:23:29.394 --> 00:23:31.630
  • Not only was i an atheist, but there is a moment in my life
  • 00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:34.299
  • Where i destroyed my marriage because of alcoholism, so i know addiction.
  • 00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:39.471
  • Okay?
  • 00:23:39.704 --> 00:23:41.673
  • And now, as the pastor of this church, i just want to disarm you for a moment.
  • 00:23:41.673 --> 00:23:44.042
  • We don't want anything from your friend or family member.
  • 00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:47.679
  • They don't have to give financially to this church.
  • 00:23:48.713 --> 00:23:50.649
  • Matter of fact, many people go to the church
  • 00:23:50.649 --> 00:23:52.517
  • And never give financially
  • 00:23:52.517 --> 00:23:54.286
  • Because they're just here to receive and we're okay with that.
  • 00:23:54.286 --> 00:23:57.155
  • Not only that, but at every c, we lay out cards that literally say,
  • 00:23:58.557 --> 00:24:01.159
  • If you're not feeling vh1 church, here's some other churches
  • 00:24:02.427 --> 00:24:04.696
  • That you can try because we're not about numbers.
  • 00:24:04.696 --> 00:24:07.999
  • We don't.
  • 00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:09.701
  • We literally just want people to encounter jesus.
  • 00:24:09.701 --> 00:24:12.404
  • Because in my life, what happened?
  • 00:24:13.171 --> 00:24:14.906
  • And i think this is what happened in the life of your friend
  • 00:24:14.906 --> 00:24:17.342
  • Or family member who's sending you this video right now
  • 00:24:17.342 --> 00:24:20.612
  • In my life, what is what happened?
  • 00:24:21.379 --> 00:24:22.681
  • It's not about church. it's not about religion.
  • 00:24:22.681 --> 00:24:24.516
  • I met jesus, and when i met jesus, he broke my alcohol addiction.
  • 00:24:24.516 --> 00:24:29.321
  • He reconciled my marriage.
  • 00:24:29.888 --> 00:24:32.057
  • And then in response to that, i literally said, god,
  • 00:24:32.057 --> 00:24:34.726
  • I used to spend all this money on alcohol.
  • 00:24:34.726 --> 00:24:37.128
  • I'll gladly give you whatever finances to support what's happening in the church.
  • 00:24:37.128 --> 00:24:42.000
  • And i used to go
  • 00:24:42.367 --> 00:24:44.269
  • And stay up all night long, raging and just fulfilling my own desires.
  • 00:24:44.269 --> 00:24:47.706
  • And when i encountered jesus and he healed me and restored me, i said,
  • 00:24:49.074 --> 00:24:51.042
  • I'll gladly go to church and just serve and help them help more people.
  • 00:24:51.042 --> 00:24:55.514
  • So if i were to say anything on behalf of your friend
  • 00:24:56.548 --> 00:24:58.817
  • Or family member, i would say they met jesus.
  • 00:24:58.817 --> 00:25:02.187
  • And when they met jesus, something happened in their life so dramatic
  • 00:25:03.555 --> 00:25:06.224
  • They just the brokenness in their life was healed
  • 00:25:07.158 --> 00:25:10.161
  • And they didn't want to do the things they used to do.
  • 00:25:11.263 --> 00:25:12.931
  • They didn't want to talk.
  • 00:25:12.931 --> 00:25:13.932
  • The way they wanted to talk
  • 00:25:13.932 --> 00:25:15.700
  • Was because jesus went to the source and healed the brokenness.
  • 00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:18.436
  • And that's what this is about. so here's the thing.
  • 00:25:19.471 --> 00:25:21.039
  • If you've watched all the way to this moment in this video
  • 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.442
  • And you're not ticked off, it's probably because the holy spirit's
  • 00:25:25.810 --> 00:25:28.179
  • Been speaking to you already, and because jesus wants to meet you
  • 00:25:28.179 --> 00:25:32.684
  • Right where you're at, in your car, in your home, wherever you're at.
  • 00:25:34.052 --> 00:25:36.988
  • And i want to pray with you in a moment.
  • 00:25:37.856 --> 00:25:39.724
  • And we're all going to pray here together,
  • 00:25:39.724 --> 00:25:42.160
  • Because i believe that you can encounter jesus right where you're at.
  • 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.530
  • And i believe that maybe after this prayer, you're
  • 00:25:46.531 --> 00:25:48.300
  • Going to understand your friend or family member a little bit better.
  • 00:25:48.300 --> 00:25:51.670
  • But even if you don't, you'll at least get it a little bit more than you did.
  • 00:25:53.171 --> 00:25:55.507
  • So here in this room right now, can we just pray together?
  • 00:25:56.641 --> 00:25:59.144
  • Just say this with me, heavenly father,
  • 00:25:59.978 --> 00:26:03.248
  • I give my life to you.
  • 00:26:03.748 --> 00:26:05.684
  • Forgive me of my sins.
  • 00:26:05.684 --> 00:26:08.119
  • Wash me with your blood.
  • 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.221
  • I choose to be your disciple,
  • 00:26:10.221 --> 00:26:13.491
  • To follow you, to do your will.
  • 00:26:14.125 --> 00:26:16.928
  • I choose to surrender
  • 00:26:17.429 --> 00:26:20.231
  • All my brokenness, all my pain at your feet.
  • 00:26:20.231 --> 00:26:25.103
  • Take my life.
  • 00:26:25.470 --> 00:26:27.539
  • Take all the broken pieces, put them back together and make something beautiful.
  • 00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:32.544
  • In jesus name. amen.
  • 00:26:33.011 --> 00:26:35.680
  • Amen.
  • 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.381
  • Come on.
  • 00:26:36.381 --> 00:26:39.317
  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:39.317 --> 00:26:42.887
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:43.722 --> 00:26:45.290
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:45.290 --> 00:26:47.225
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:47.225 --> 00:26:51.663
  • That we do around the united states and around the world.
  • 00:26:51.663 --> 00:26:54.966
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel in non-christian nations,
  • 00:26:56.167 --> 00:26:58.803
  • Even underground church networks, or providing disaster relief to areas
  • 00:26:58.803 --> 00:27:03.541
  • Most affected around the united states, many lives are being changed
  • 00:27:03.541 --> 00:27:07.746
  • Because of your generosity.
  • 00:27:07.746 --> 00:27:07.746
